toronto bartress sends a towering's road right center field kiss it good back addison barger's pinch hit home run the first ever in a fall classic capped a nine run six inning for the hometown blue jays who beat the defending world series champion los angeles dodgers 114 a 1-0 series lead. Barger telling Fox Sports after the game that the homer was kind of memorable. I mean, to be honestly, I don't even remember. It was so hard to just kind of gather my thoughts and everything. You know, it's just like a blackout moment, you know, it's just crazy. The J's hit three homers in the win, continuing a successful hitting trend that has led all playoff teams this year. Here's manager John Snyder. So much credit to the guys up and down the

lineup, being ready to come into the game. You know, they were during BP, you know, talking to Nate, talking to Izzy, Addy. Those at bats in that inning, starting with Bow's walk, then a knock, you know, it kind of just kept on going. But those were some pretty terrific at bats. Game two goes tonight back at Rogers Center with Kevin Gosman getting the start for the Jays just after 8 p.m. Eastern time. And it's not only baseball fans here at home excited about what's playing out on the field, fans and foes alike are cheering on the World Series in Japan. A big part of the draw, of course, is Dodgers star Shohayotani. But as the CVC's Malone Mullen reports, it's not hard to find Jay's fans anywhere.

Outnumbered but passionate, Jays fans watch as Japan's national superstar takes the plate. In a packed pub in central Tokyo, Shoheyotani strikes out. Meanwhile, run and after run racks up for Toronto. Vancouverite Carmen Chow watches nervously, surrounded on all sides. They didn't boo me. They threw every other machine. Amid the North Americans up early to watch the World Series opener are the diehard local Otani fans.

At Suyatada is confident his homegrown superstar will carry the Dodgers eventually to a win. Yes, I'm proud of him as a Japanese, of course. L.A. resident Hector Rodriguez has a little doubt in Otani's. talent and despite his team's loss says it's an ideal location to take in a ballgame. Outside of L.A. and Toronto is

Japan. Malone, CBC News, Tokyo. In other news. Will you mean with Prime Minister Carney during this trip? I don't have any attention of it, no. U.S. President Donald Trump, on his way out to a multi-stop visit in East Asia said he's doubling down after terminating

trade talks with Canada, saying he has no intention of meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney. Both leaders will be attending the ACN summit, which begins tomorrow in Kuala Lumpur. And we need tariffs for national security, and they totally turned it around because they're getting hurt by tariffs, and we're gaining by tariffs. They've used tariffs on us, but we had different presidents very successfully, and they've taken a lot of money out of our country, and now we're taking it all back. Trump's anger is fueled by a TV ad paid for by the government of

Ontario featuring former Republican president, Ronald Reagan, speaking against tariffs. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he will have the ad pulled Monday after airing during this weekend's World Series games. Calgary's official voter turnout in the 2025 general election was just over 39%. MRU political science professor, Lori Williams, says that turnout is low, but not unusually low. I think some people read or heard about the long. lines and decided it wasn't worth going out. The ones that really concerned me are the ones who were in line and had to lead the line, either because they were fed up or because they had other commitments. Some people told CBC News that long lines at some polling stations deterred

them from voting. And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Faye. Thank you.
