Episode Description

A look at the spending math as Ottawa’s parliamentary budget watchdog says hosting the FIFA World Cup will cost taxpayers more than $1 billion.


And: Prime Minister Mark Carney goes to B.C. after premier David Eby accused the federal government of rewarding separatist behaviour by signing a deal with Alberta. The deal includes a preferential carbon price and an agreement to fast track pipelines.


Also: Health officials say the ebola outbreak in Central Africa is likely to get worse before it gets better. There are more than 600 suspected cases of a strain so rare it hasn’t been seen in more than a decade — and there is no vaccine.


Plus: Raúl Castro indicted in the U.S., backlash against Israel’s national security minister for mocking flotilla activists, new global warming projections, and more.
