Global National: April 21, 2025 | Pope Francis died from stroke and heart failure, Vatican says
In tonight’s top story: The world is mourning Pope Francis, who led the Catholic Church for 12 years. The 88-year-old died just hours after his appearance at Easter Sunday mass. Redmond Shannon looks at how Catholics and world leaders are reacting, what the Vatican says the Pope died of and the early details of the funeral.
The Liberals have led in the polls for most of the 2025 federal election campaign, but the Conservatives appear to be catching up. Mackenzie Gray looks at how Liberal Leader Mark Carney is trying to keep his party’s momentum from fizzling out.
The Conservative party will be the last one to release its fully costed platform for the 2025 federal election campaign. Touria Izri looks at when that’s set to be unveiled, how Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is attacking the Liberals’ spending plan and the Tories’ push to win over voters in the Greater Toronto Area.
Plus, Pope Francis’ outreach transcended religion and politics throughout his papacy. Dawna Friesen looks at how the Pope became seen as a global conscience in a world lacking voices of moral authority.
