U.S. President Donald Trump is telling allies who are not helping him in the war on Iran to "get your own oil" as they face oil shortages amid Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Jackson Proskow reports on what the Trump administration is signalling about the next phase of its war on Iran. Heidi Petracek explains how rising gas prices are affecting more than the price at the pumps, and Redmond Shannon looks at how the airline industry is trying to cope with a shortage of jet fuel. Heather Yourex-West explains the setback on the path for a new pipeline from Alberta to B.C. Melissa Ridgen explains why Canada's much criticized Vaccine Injury Separate Program (VISP) is ending, and what's replacing it. Also, what police say Tiger Woods was carrying in his pocket at the time of his March 27 vehicle crash in Florida. Plus, remembering a tireless champion of social justice: Eric Sorensen looks back on the life of Canadian politician, activist, and humanitarian Stephen Lewis. Learn more about your ad choices.
