dryden won six stanley cups during his nine years with the montreal canadians but he also had off nights as well and in 2014 he told george strombelopoulos fans weren't shy about voicing their disappointment he added though that that didn't diminish his passion if you're going to do something why not do it where it matters? Why not do it where it matters the most? The penalties are the worst, but the, you know, but the opportunities are by far the worst, too. There's nothing like winning in one of these environments. His HAB's number 29 was retired in 2007. Darden wrote several books about hockey and was also an executive with the Toronto Maple Leafs, as well as lawyer, businessman, and politician, even running for the liberal leadership after Paul Martin

stepped down in 2006. Dryden died Friday morning, surrounded by his family, who asked that donations be made to the Princess Margaret Cancer Center or to the Concussion Legacy Foundation. Canada's temporary foreign worker program has become a hot political topic this week. There are questions about how it's affecting the job market, particularly for young people, and debate about whether it's an economic necessity or a problem program that needs to be Scrapped. Host of CBC's Radio's The House, Catherine Cullen, has more. The Liberals have to

answer, why is it that they're shutting our own youth out of jobs and replacing them with low-wage temporary foreign workers? Conservative leader Pierre Palliev says he's not blaming temporary foreign workers, but he accuses companies who hire

them of taking jobs away from Canadians. Polyev wants the liberals to scrap the program, with an exception for agricultural workers. The lobby group that represents Canadian restaurant owners says it needs those workers that they take jobs Canadians aren't applying for. Kelly Higginson of Restaurants Canada says many of the positions are in communities where there simply aren't a lot of available workers. We're talking about a critical component to the rural and non-large urban centers in our country and how they're able to offer services. The Prime Minister says he's reviewing the temporary foreign worker program but won't.

Scrap it. Catherine Cullen, CBC News, Ottawa. And you can hear more on this issue with Catherine on the House right after the 9 o'clock edition of World Report 930 in Newfoundland. Meanwhile, unemployment in Canada jumped to 7.1% last month. Sixty-six thousand jobs were lost in August, mostly part-time. Ottawa is beginning to roll out sectoral supports hardest hit by the Donald Trump tariffs. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced billions of dollars of funding to help businesses deal with the impact of the tariffs. David Thurton reports. How are you guys? At an aviation plant in Mississauga, Mark Carney jokes with workers wearing hearing protection. You can put the ear plugs in when I start speaking. With Canada's unemployment rate

the highest in almost a decade outside the pandemic, Carney didn't have trouble finding an attentive audience. The government's introducing a new comprehensive by Canadian policy that will move from best efforts to a clear obligation to do so. The Prime Minister committed to introduce a new policy to buy Canadian steel, aluminum, and other materials. A move long overdue, according to Kenan Loomis, with the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction. But he wants to see more details from Carney's plan.

How does that then flow out through the rest of the country into the provincial jurisdictions? Carney says he hopes others will follow the federal government's lead, hoping his bi-Canadian policy offers a roadmap for others. David Thurton, CBC News, Ottawa. Montreal or Felix Oja-Aliazim went down to defeat at the U.S. Open semifinal last night, losing the World No. 1 Yanik's Center in straight sets. Center now moves on to play Carlos Alcaraz, the world's number two, tomorrow, for the title.
