Here's what you need to know to start your day:

1.

2. Immigration targets: The federal government has shared its immigration levels plan for the next few years, with an aim to level out the number of new permanent residents to Canada in 2026. 

3. A 'carbon tax election': Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is pushing for a carbon-price carve-out on all forms of home heating until Canadians can have their say in "a carbon tax election," a fight that the Liberal government says it's ready to take on.

4. Test ban treaty: Russian President Vladimir Putin signed off on a law revoking his country's ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

5. No pool for you: The Chase Field pool has been an iconic place for fans to watch the game and take a dip -- and for players to party after big wins. But there was no pool party for the Texas Rangers after winning the World Series.
