He and Prime Minister Mark Carney met in Calgary, and Heather Yourex-West reports on the strategic and defence partnership the pair struck. Carney is also holding a cabinet retreat in Banff. That's where Jeff Semple is, and he'll tell you how Carney is facing persistent questions about U.S. President Donald Trump's latest threat of tariffs and import bans. Trump, in the meantime, is at the Republican National Convention, where he's being accused of bribery. Jackson Proskow reports from Dallas about the cash Trump is promising every American adult -- if his party wins the midterm elections. Meanwhile, American comedians are on Team Canada.
