Political reaction is coming in after Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled his first list of big nation building projects. He's named five energy and infrastructure projects set to be fast-tracked and promised a second list by mid-November. Olivia Stefanovic reports. Well, I can tell you that when I looked at the first five projects, I thought finally they get it.

Praise from one of the federal government's staunchest critics, Alberta Premier Daniel Smith, even though Prime Minister Mark Carney didn't include an oil pipeline in his first set of major project recommendations. And I would just ask people to be patient. So we're in a really exciting period where we have a great window of opportunity open. Manitoba Premier Wab Canoe doesn't have a project on the initial list, but upgrades to the Port of Churchill and his province are on a second list up for consideration. On the other hand, Conservative leader Pierre Pollyev says Kearney is moving too slow. This is a bet.

Carney says that second batch of major projects will be announced by the Grey Cup in mid-November. He expects the first five projects to generate more than $60 billion. Olivia Stefanovic, CBC News, Edmonton. The National Hockey League says five Canadian players acquitted of sexual assault can play again.

The NHL says after careful evaluation, the players will be eligible to sign contracts with teams on October 15th and begin play by December 1st. The suspect in a

Idle Musa has the latest. Outside First Roots Early Education Academy, a make-shirt Memorial is growing. NSUV crashed into the daycare yesterday, killing a one and a half year old boy and injuring six other children. I think there should be barriers.

Local resident Ruth Breenas came to the site this morning to lay flowers. There should be gates. There should be security. Emerson Bekirovsky says he feels the pain the victims are going through. My daughter goes to the school and she's been here since she was 18 months and

thankfully she's okay. My wife picked her up yesterday and she's thankfully doing well and at home. A 70-year-old man was charged with one count of dangerous operation causing death and two counts of dangerous operation causing bodily harm. He was granted bail at a court hearing this morning and one of the conditions he must follow is not operating a motor vehicle. Idlemusa, CBC News, Toronto. Brazil's former president, Jaya Bolsonaro, has been convicted of plotting a coup to stay in power.

The majority of a five-member panel of the nation's Supreme Court also found him guilty of being part of an armed criminal organization. The populist leader had been accused of attempting to overturn the 2022 presidential elections that he lost to Lula de Silva. Bolsonaro denies his involvement in this plot and calls the court case a witch hunt. And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed off on a controversial plan to expand settlements in the occupied West Bank. The so-called E-1 project will cut off East Jerusalem from other Palestinian lands.

Netanyahu, saying there will never be a Palestinian state. The expansion would create a circle of Israeli settlements around East Jerusalem, closing off the possibility of their ever being a contiguous Palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem. Most of the international community considered Israeli settlements in the West. Bank illegal under international law. And that is the world this hour.
