Hugh is a rock climber, a white supremacist, a Jewish neo-Nazi, a spam king, a crypto-billionaire, and then someone killed him. It is truly a mystery. It is truly a case of who done it. Dirtbag Climber, the story of the murder and the many lives of Jesse James. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Kate McGilfrey. We begin in Edmonton, where Prime Minister Mark Carney has unveiled his first list of nation-building projects, an approach he says will kickstart Canada's economy.

For too long, when federal agencies have examined a project, their immediate question has been, why? That changes now. From now on, Canada's new government starts by asking ourselves for major projects, how. How can we do it bigger? How can we do it faster? The list includes an expansion of a liquefied natural gas facility in Kittamat, B.C., a new facility to produce small, modular reactors in Ontario, an expansion of the port of Montreal, a copper mine in Saskatchewan, and the expansion of a copper and gold mine in northwestern B.C. Carney says a second list of projects will be released by the Grey Cup in mid-November. In Vaughn, Ontario. We want to lock up these criminals and throw away the key.

Conservative leader Pierre Pahliaf is promoting his party's plan to tackle what he calls the crime crisis. It would overturn the requirement that judges release suspects at the earliest possible time. Instead, Pahliav says judges would be required to consider previous convictions of the accused when deciding on bail. The bill would also include a three strikes and your out clause. It would deny bail, parole, probation and house arrest to anyone with three criminal convictions. authorities in Utah say Charlie Kirk's killer is still at large, but they're making progress in their search. The FBI just released images of a person of interest, which show a young man in a black shirt with a baseball hat and sunglasses. The popular conservative commentator was

fatally shot during a rally yesterday at a university in Utah. Willie Lowry has the latest. Combing through the woods near Utah Valley University, investigators said they found the rifle the shooter used to kill Charlie Kirk. Here's Bo Mason, the commissioner for Utah's Department of Public Safety. After the shooting, we were able to track his movements as he moved to the other side of the building, jumped off of the building, and fled off of the campus and into a neighborhood. Authorities adding, they believe the suspect is male and college age. Kirk's death continues to reverberate across this country.

U.S. President Donald Trump plans to bestow the country's highest civilian honor on the Young Conservative. I will soon be awarding Charlie Kirk posthumously the Presidential Medal of Freedom. No date has been set, but the President said he expected a large turnout for the event. Willie Lowry, CBC News, Washington. Belarus has freed 52 political prisoners. In exchange, the U.S. announced it was lifting some sanctions on the country's national airline. Belarus is a close ally of Russia.

It's been repeatedly slapped with Western sanctions for cracking down on human rights, and for supporting Moscow's war on Ukraine. And from pop hits to pup sensations, a pet adoption campaign has gone viral, all thanks to singer Sabrina Carpenter. Humane Canada and the Toronto Humane Society say almost all the dogs featured in their ads have now been adopted after they caught the singer's attention.

Michelle Song tells us more. Sabrina Carpenter's latest album, Man's Best Friend, debuted at number one on the Billboard, top 100. And for Humane Canada and Toronto Humane Society, it was inspiration for a now viral social media campaign called man's true best friend. It had photos of dogs mimicking the pop stars album art. Phil Nichols is the CEO of Toronto Humane Society. And it's just helped raise awareness about the challenges that exist in shelters across North America right now over population. Carpenter liked and shared the post. And now less than two weeks after it launched,

almost all the dogs featured have been adopted with ongoing interest for others. So the humane society may need a shot of espresso, as they may be working late to meet the demand.
