The World This Hour for 2025/10/24 at 12:00 EDT

This ascent isn't for everyone. You need grit to climb this high this often. You've got to be an underdog that always over-delivers. You've got to be 6,500 hospital staff, 1,000 doctors, all doing so much with so little. You've got to be Scarborough. Defined by our uphill battle and always striving towards new heights. And you can help us keep climbing.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is offering a calm and measured response to the latest development in the Canada-U.S. Trade War. And it's a significant development. In a late-night social media post, U.S. President Donald Trump

has called off all trade talks between the two countries due to an Ontario ad campaign that includes a clip of Ronald Reagan arguing against trade tariffs. David Thurton has the latest. On the tarmac in Ottawa, just before taking off for an overseas trip to Asia, Prime Minister Mark Carney responds to another twist

in trade negotiations with Donald Trump. We stand ready to pick up on that progress and build on that progress when the Americans are ready to have those discussions. Carney says, his government will focus on what it can control and took no questions as he boarded the plane. The ad that sparked Trump's wrath

featured the voice of former U.S. Republican President Ronald Reagan. Throughout the world, there's a growing realization that the weight of prosperity for all nations is rejecting protectionist legislation and promoting fair and free competition. Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who paid for the ad, says, Reagan knew that Canada and the United States were stronger together.

David Thornton, CBC News, Ottawa. Air Canada has announced its cutting 400 management jobs. The move follows a three-day strike by more than 10,000 flight attendants in August that led to more than 3,000 flight cancellations. It's estimated the labor dispute cost Air Canada close to $400 million.

However, the airlines says the cuts are the result of what it's calling routine corporate operations. The Quebec government is tabled. legislation that calls for a new compensation system for the province's doctors. Bill too is aimed at forcing an end to an ongoing dispute with doctors' federations. Among other things, it would introduce performance targets and would impose penalties for doctors who decide to practice elsewhere or in the private system. The GPs Federation is saying many of its members are preparing to leave

the province or retire if the bill becomes law. With Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky at the table, British Prime Minister Kier Starrmer is hosting the latest meeting of the Coalition of the Willing. The coalition is a group of countries, including Canada, united in their support for the Ukrainian war effort. Anna Cunningham has the latest now from London. British Prime Minister Kirstama is expected to urge Ukraine's allies to act to take Russian oil and gas off the global market. It follows U.S. sanctions targeting two big Russian oil companies. Stama will also call for Ukraine's allies to unlock frozen Russian assets held worldwide to fund Ukraine's defenses. Also, on the agenda in London later, will be the supply of long-range missiles to Ukraine.

Zelensky failed to get U.S. President Donald Trump to agree to supply Tomahawk missiles when they met in Washington last Friday. Overnight Russian authorities say Ukrainian drones targeted the Moscow region. Five people were reportedly injured. The Russian President Vladimir Putin says any use of long-range missiles on Russia will be met with a very serious response. Anna Cunningham, CBC News, London. Game one of this year's World Series goes tonight in Toronto. It's the Blue Jays against the defending champion L.A. Dodgers

who are heavily favored by most baseball pundits. The Dodger lineup includes at least three future Hall of Famers, including Japanese superstar Sheo Otani. But Blue Jay manager, John Schneider, will not be intimidated. That is a beatable baseball team that has its flaws and that has its really, really good strengths. How we expose each of them will determine who wins the series. I'll say it till the day I die, I'll put this group of 26 up against anybody. Over the course of their storied history, the Dodger franchise has won eight World Series titles.

The Blue Jays have two championships to their credit. Game time tonight for Game 1 is 8 o'clock Eastern. And that is the world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
