Heartbreaking news. Linda Mason, longtime CBS News Senior VP and EP of Sunday Morning, passed away peacefully last night, surrounded by her family. She was 84. Linda was a trailblazer for women in journalism and a friend and mentor to so many of us at CBS. May she rest in peace.

Dan Rather “Here is my message to every eligible voter, whatever your political affiliation: If this worn and battered old journalist at age 94 can get to the polls, then surely so can you.”

Everyone seems to be talking about these fun Quebec chansons à réponses from Soirée Canadienne in the 70s.
To Québecers: English Canadians are not mocking this tradition, but admiring it.
I think the fascination is that in our fractured, atomized society, we can see a beautiful expression of real community. Everyone, from kids to grandparents, knows the words and sings them together.
The joyfulness of the tradition is also a wonderful antidote to our hyper cynical age.
And the authenticity of the music itself is a beautiful contrast to the auto tuned and hyper engineered noise that passes for a lot of today’s popular music.
It’s obvious these songs were passed on from generation to generation, and represent a sense of shared culture and love of home. They make us nostalgic for a simpler time of shared meaning and identity.

We went to a town where you can't separate the United States and Canada, regardless of politics. One family literally has the US-Canada border running right through their house and they told us they're glad Canada is fighting back with retaliatory tariffs.

The Calgary Stampede is the largest outdoor rodeo in the world. And with Alberta holding the fourth-largest proven oil reserve in the world, high oil prices are playing a part in the show.

Nationwide, some 2 million people are incarcerated in prisons and jails, and many of them are parents. With growing evidence that keeping children connected with fathers and mothers while they’re behind bars can have benefits for everyone, CBS News’ @BLBlackburn reports on a one-of-a-kind partnership that reunited incarcerated fathers with their children in New York.

Canada’s March to the Match continues to work its way through the Toronto streets toward the stadiums.
Beautiful scenes as fans chant and cheer and high five fans who are lining the streets.
It’s going to be electric inside the stadium today.
