Trade irritation, screening for heart attack risk, dead whales, and more

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada/U.S. relations have ruptured, but he’s confident there will be progress in trade talks. Carney says he doesn’t consider that relationship to be his main focus; he says there is enough to do in Canada. And: Researchers are calling for wider screening for a major cause of heart attacks. One in five people are at risk because of their level of Lipoprotein A. But it doesn't get picked up by routine cholesterol testing. Doctors say all adults should get checked at least once in their lives. Also: There’s been an alarming spike in the number of grey whales found dead off the Pacific coast. It's not just in Canada it’s happening in U.S. waters, too. And experts say more deaths are likely. Plus: Toronto police racism/antisemitism allegations, U.S. - Iran ceasefire, Lebanon funerals, Nova Scotia fracking, and more.
