Hey, how's it going? Amazing. I just finished paying off all my debt with the help of the credit counseling society. Whoa, seriously? I could really use their help. It was easy. I called and spoke with a credit counselor right away. They asked me about my debt, salary, and regular expenses. Gave me a few options and helped me along the way. You had a ton of debt and you're saying credit counseling society helped with all of it? Yep, and now I can sleep better at night. Right on! When debt's got you, you've got us. Give credit counseling society a

call today. Visit no more debts.org. From CBC News, The World This Hour, I'm Mike Miles. One of Donald Trump's political enemies has been indicted. Former FBI director James Comey faces charges related to his handling of the investigation into connections between the U.S. President and Russia. Anise Haydari has more from Washington. Comey's a bad person. He's a sick person. Even before an indictment of James Comey came through, Donald Trump's

opinion of him is clear. He did terrible things at the FBI. The charges relate to testimony the former FBI director gave to the U.S. Congress back in 2020, one count of obstruction of justice and another count of making a false statement connected to the allegations Donald Trump's election campaign colluded with Russia. We will not live on our knees. Komi posting on Instagram after the charges became public, saying he knows there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump. But I have great confidence in the federal judicial system, and I'm innocent. So let's have a trial. These indictments come days after Donald Trump posted a message seemingly telling his attorney general they can't delay any longer while listing Comey and some of his other political

enemies. Any said R. CBC News, Washington. Canada's postal workers are on strike. It's in response to planned reforms at Canada Post, including a move to end home delivery and shut down some Post offices. Picket lines began spontaneously in Atlantic Canada this afternoon. Jim Gallant is a negotiator with CupW. What I see on those pictures is, is members of the union reacting to a minister of procurement that has made a drastic mistake, and we expect Canadians will get behind us. The Canadian Union of postal workers argues Canada Post's financial situation is not as dire as being represented it. Represented, rather.

Government Transportation Transformation Minister, Joel Lightbound, said the corporation is losing $10 million a day. He also said a moratorium on closing rural postal offices will be lifted. Lifting this moratorium will allow Canada Post to right-size its network

to adapt to today's demographics. But I want to be clear, Canada Post has an obligation to serve all Canadians in every community in Canada, and that will not change. For its part, Canada Post says it welcomes the changes. Seniors organizations, though, say older Canadians will struggle if home deliveries end it. Diane Cooper-Pont with Calgary Seniors says

Canadian winters, rather, make it tough for seniors to access their mail safely. Walking in winter, and sometimes the roads aren't plowed that well, and there are no sidewalks, is an issue. And the location of some of these community mailboxes is an issue. And if you don't have transportation and you have to walk, again, there's the risk of falls. The Corporation's Delivery Accommodation Program, which allows people with mobility issues to arrange for weekly home delivery or other accessibility options, will remain in effect. The Palestinian Authority President says he's committed to working with the United Nations on a peace plan.

Meantime in Washington, the White House said it is renewing its efforts to solve the Middle East crisis with a roadmap to end the war in Gaza. Sasha Petrissik reports. With Gaza City's bodies under rubble, it's hard to imagine proposals and pleas at the UN making much difference. The speeches have no value, says Mohamed Yusef. They don't change Gaza's disaster. Or, as Mahmoud Abbas called it, at the United Nations, one of the most horrific chapters of human tragedy. October 7.

does not represent the Palestinian people. Abbas said, meeting with Arab leaders, though bypassing Abbas, U.S. President Donald Trump promised annexation is off the table. He now says he's on the verge of ending the Gaza war after presenting them with his own peace plan this week. It would see hostages released and Israeli troops gradually withdrawn while Hamas disarms and leaves. Petrusik, CBC News, Jerusalem.
