Budget promises, famine in Sudan, grain bin hotel rooms, and more

The finance minister has new shoes, and tomorrow the new government will release its first budget. The pressure from the U.S. trade war is immense, and this is the government’s first fiscal update in almost a year. Prime Minister Mark Carney is promising a “generational” budget – one that will reset Canada’s economy. But the Liberals are three seats short of a majority – so they need to convince other MPs to agree on the path they set out.

And: Fighting, fear, and famine. The tragic situation in Sudan.

Also: If you’ve watched Yellowstone and dreamed of staying on a farm with cows, two Alberta ranchers may have what you’re looking for. They are converting old grain bins into hotel rooms for people who want a taste of Canada’s prairie life.

Plus: Cuban workers in Canada forced to pay Havana most of their wages, New York City election, and more.
