About this listen
Prime Minister Mark Carney is back from Asia - and facing a delicate political test at home. His government's first budget lands on Tuesday, setting the stage for a crucial confidence vote. He’ll need opposition support to pass it and right now - it's not clear where that will come from.
Also: Voters cast their ballots across Quebec today for municipal elections. In Montreal, there are more than 420 candidates running for dozens of positions - including the mayor. We'll look at the issues that dominated the campaigns.
And: White-nose syndrome has devastated bat populations in caves across eastern Canada. Now, as the fungal disease threatens to spread west to British Columbia, one scientist is fighting back with a unique tool: a probiotic cocktail.
Plus: Yukon election, Getting aid to Jamaica and Haiti, Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico, and more.
