Prime Minister Mark Carney has wrapped up his quick trip to Mexico City, where he was on a mission to strengthen ties. Now a new Ipsos poll reveals how Canadians feel about the federal government's management of Canada-U.S. relations. And as David Akin reports, people aren’t feeling the trust with their southern neighbours. Eric Sorensen explains why Canada has barred hip-hop group Kneecap from entering Canada. Touria Izri reports on the new federal bill targeting hate crime, and the concerns the bill could stifle legitimate protests. Mike Armstrong reports on how McGill University wants to restrict campus protests. Heidi Petracek updates the search for Jack and Lilly Sullivan, the Nova Scotia siblings missing since May. Plus, 14 people in a small remote community in Quebec have won a share of a $50 million Lotto Max jackpot.
