Tumbler Ridge is struggling in the spotlight as it mourns the people murdered in Tuesday's mass shooting, as federal and provincial leaders visit the tight-knit community. Heather Yourex-West reports on what we're learning about one of the youngest victims, 12-year-old Ticaria Lampert. Chris Gailus speaks with British Columbia Premier David Eby about the trauma that people in Tumbler Ridge will endure. Eric Sorensen looks at the long journey of healing ahead. And as people learn more about the teenaged shooter, who was trans, misinformation and vilification of trans people is spreading, so Jillian Piper is fact-checking these baseless claims. In Washington, D.C., Jackson Proskow explains how U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly reconsidering those harsh tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. In London, Vincent McAviney reports on how Peter Mandelson, the United Kingdom's former ambassador to the U.S., is being asked to testify before Congress about Jeffrey Epstein.
