Today, we're looking at fallout from Tuesday's meeting between Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Donald Trump, with the Canadian leader travelling to the White House and returning back north of the border with little to show for it.

Plus, Premier Danielle Smith is pursuing a new Alberta Accord initiative with Ottawa, aiming to restrict the federal government's overreach into provincial affairs and laying out key issues Albertans want addressed going forward.

And finally, Pierre Poilievre published a video reflecting on the election as he returned to Ottawa to meet with the Conservative caucus, where he also answered a question from Rebel reporter Alexa Lavoie.

Tonight, Mark Carney meets with Donald Trump — and it was a love-in. Trump likes to have press scrums in the Oval Office with foreign leaders. Sometimes it goes well, like his visit with the Irish president. Sometimes it doesn’t go well, like when Volodymyr Zelensky clearly decided to scupper an agreement that he didn’t like. Sometimes the meetings are a bit tense. So, how would it go with Mark Carney?

Today, we're looking at Prime Minister Mark Carney's first meeting with President Donald Trump, with the Canadian leader travelling to Washington to meet the U.S. leader at the White House.

Plus, Premier Danielle Smith addressed Alberta separation in a lengthy speech yesterday, which also included her key points she wants addressed by the federal government and promised to respect the results of citizen-led initiatives on separatism.

And finally, in response to talks of separatism or leaving the country after another victory for the federal Liberals, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Canada needs to be united in response to the threats coming from the U.S.

In the latest episode of The Yemini Report, Avi is joined by Christian Minister Mark Leach to unpack the election fallout, and his take was razor-sharp. "Australians rejected the most racist, antisemitic, divisive political party — the Greens," he said.

Canada's "World Press Freedom Day" is hypocritical. True freedom exists daily, not just on a designated day.

Today, we're looking at Prime Minister Mark Carney's expected first in-person meeting with President Donald Trump, following the U.S. leader's continued comments about making Canada the 51st state during an interview with NBC's Meet The Press this past weekend.

Plus, one in four Albertans identify themselves as Albertan first and Canadian second, according to a new poll. Will another Liberal victory drive even more Albertans to see themselves as Alberta firsters?

And finally, Canada has experienced another decline in its freedom rankings, this time for press freedom — something that isn't likely to come as a surprise to regular Rebel News viewers, given the way the government treats independent press outlets.

Let’s be honest—the CBC stopped being a journalistic institution a long time ago. Today, it’s a taxpayer-funded disinformation factory. And if you still had doubts, Carney just erased them.

Plus, Premier Doug Ford took aim at the federal Liberals over failed efforts at bail reform, pledging to take a stronger stance on crime in Ontario and calling out judges for acting like activists.

And finally, with the balance of power in the House of Commons teetering towards a Liberal majority, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May is campaigning to become the Speaker of the House.
