Global National: May 27, 2026 | Canada looks to buy Sweden's early warning planes instead of US jets

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada is considering purchasing Arctic surveillance planes from Swedish manufacturer Saab instead of American-made jets. Mackenzie Gray explains how it's part of Carney's promise to rely less on the U.S., what the aircraft are capable of and how many Canadian jobs the deal could create. Former environment minister Steven Guilbeault will leave politics this summer after being an MP for nearly seven years. David Akin explains what Guilbeault's departure means for Carney's razor-thin majority government – and how it signals a further shift in the Liberals' environmental policy compared to those of former prime minister Justin Trudeau. The World Health Organization (WHO) warns the Democratic Republic of Congo is facing a "catastrophic collision of disease and conflict" as the country tries to contain a deadly Ebola outbreak. Redmond Shannon explains why aid groups say their efforts to help are being hampered.
