3. Primary results: Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton took a few steps closer to securing their respective party's nomination for the U.S. presidential election. Donald Trump won primaries in three of five states voting, while Clinton was denied a clean sweep of Bernie Sanders by a "too close to call" decision in Missouri.
4. Should he stay or should he go: A growing number of New Democrats are questioning whether Tom Mulcair should remain leader after the party convention in April. Manitoba MP Niki Ashton, who came in seventh place in the 2012 leadership race, refused to state whether she will offer Mulcair a vote of confidence.
5. Buck for a house: A Toronto mansion has been put on the market for a very affordable price of $1. The property hit the market after a plan to build dozens of condominiums on the site fell through.
