Mark Carney’s trouble building consensus on major projects

from As It Happens

Before the Prime Minister even arrived at a Special Chiefs Meeting today, the Assembly of First Nations had already voted to oppose Ottawa's pipeline agreement with Alberta. After getting hundreds of thousands of signatures, Alberta's 'Forever Canadian' petition will be submitted to the provincial legislature. The man who started it says he hopes it will put any question of separation to rest. The U.S. delegation presented Vladimir Putin with an amended peace plan today; a journalist tells us that a workable deal with Russia is still a long way off -- but we could be seeing the beginning of the end of the war. Christmas will be pretty bleak this year in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario -- where hundreds of steelworkers are facing unemployment, in large part because of Donald Trump's trade war. Biologists have come up with a new way to do health check-ups on North Atlantic right whales by collecting the spray from their blowholes. An outdoor rink in Italy is built around a bronze of Luciano Pavarotti, so he appears to be knee-deep in ice -- and that's getting a chilly reception from the legendary opera singer's widow. As It Happens, the Tuesday Edition. Radio that guesses someone's got cold feet.
