Byelection fallout, May inflation, Kenya protests
An upset in a Toronto byelection gives Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives a seat in Toronto. Many considered Toronto-St. Paul’s to be one of the safest Liberal seats in the country. The Conservative win raises questions about the political future of Justin Trudeau. And: Canadians are being squeezed by rising prices. That cost of living crisis got a little worse last month. Statistics Canada reports the annual rate of inflation ticked up unexpectedly. Prices rose by 2.9 per cent in May… and that just may force the Bank of Canada to rethink interest rate cuts.

But now Princess Anne is recuperating in hospital after an incident at her estate in Gloucestershire. The Princess Royal is in hospital with a minor head injury and concussion, and has had to cancel her trip to Newfoundland next week. Plus: The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce has one idea to ease what it says is a lack of workers in the province… Allow 13-year-olds to get a job.

National Indigenous Peoples Day, soccer racism, U.K. election
National Indigenous Peoples Day celebrates a rich diversity of culture, while acknowledging the pain and resilience of First Nations, Inuit and Metis people. Ceremonies were held across Canada to commemorate the day. And: The beautiful game is showing its ugly side. Racism on the soccer pitch is unfortunately not new. But this time it’s online. And the target is Team Canada player Moise Bombito. It comes after a messy run-in with the most famous soccer player on the planet. Plus: Opinion polls in the U.K. election suggest time is running out for the governing Conservative party. After 14 years, Labour may be about to take over. Another party is also looking to gain from Conservative losses - Reform U.K. If that party name sounds familiar to Canadians, there is a reason. Leader Nigel Farage gets his inspiration from Canada.
