    2026-03-31 | 26 mins.
    Air Canada president and CEO Michael Rousseau will retire in September amid heavy criticism for his English-only condolence video after two of the airline's pilots were killed in a plane crash at New York's LaGuardia Airport. Mike Armstrong looks at the fallout from the bilingual backlash toward Rousseau, and what happens next. The federal and Ontario
    governments are pledging to inject billions of taxpayer dollars into
    housing-related infrastructure in the province. Mackenzie Gray looks at how the money will be spent, and how it could lead to more homes being built. Jillian Piper reports on the lack of clarity over whether Liberal MP Michael Ma will face consequences for his comments that appear to question the existence of reported human rights abuses in China. Jackson Proskow explains U.S. President Donald Trump's ultimatum to Iran as the threat of a U.S. ground invasion looms. Plus, what people watch on TV in
    Afghanistan is tightly controlled by the Taliban, but there's one channel
    defying the country's rules. Jeff Semple looks at how Amu TV is reaching
    millions of Afghans, and its Canadian connection.
