from all to short to second one to first not in time himenez thought he had time to time to turn two and instead of coming home fed it to bichette but they can't turn and the doctors get another run. Toronto lost to L.A. by a score of 5-1. The Jays and Dodgers will now head to Los Angeles for game three, which takes place on Monday night at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. Toronto will send Max Scher to the mound against Tyler Glassnow. Donald Trump says he's hitting Canada with more tariffs. The U.S. President made the latest threat on Saturday

in a social media post that took even the Carney government by surprise. Trump is still angry about the Ontario anti-tariff ads that has a speech by former U.S. President Ronald Reagan. Chris Reyes has the details. 10% on top of the suite of tariffs that are already in place. And it's all because of this ad that Ontario paid for and ran in the U.S., including during the World Series broadcast. Trump has been livid about this ad ever since the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation

came out saying that the ad misrepresents the Reagan's speech that it uses from 1987, where Reagan touts the value of free trade and the dangers of tariffs. He posted this. I'm just going to read it word for word. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts and hostile act, I'm increasing the tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they're paying now. It's so far just a threat, and it's not clear if and when Trump will sign an order slapping Canada with these new tariffs. Chris Reyes, CBC News, New York.

As Ontario pulls back their anti-tariff ads, the BC government is about to roll out its own. Simon Fraser University International Relations Professor James Horncastle says he thinks the move makes sense as new U.S. tariffs and duties on softwood have devastated the local forestry industry. In the case of BC, the recent softwood lumber ones have created considerable pressure upon the BC economy. As a result, the BC government is in a position where it has to do something because otherwise it'll end up appearing weak to basically the electorate. BC's job ministry says the ads will be digital and not for TV or radio. The ads will roll out in November.

Meanwhile, in Kuala Lumpur. Do you enjoy that? Prime Minister Mark Carney was making small talk on the tarmac after arriving in Malaysia for the summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Countries. The Canadian government is framing this trip as an opportunity to diversify Canada's trading relationship, so Canada is less reliant on the U.S. market. In a few days, Carney will also be attending the APEC or Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit. Doctors in Alberta are calling on the province to improve access to COVID-19 vaccines.

The Alberta government has decided to charge most residents $100 for the shot, and booking an appointment has been complicated. Dr. Brian Worsbaugh is the president of the Alberta Medical Association, which says each COVID hospitalization costs more than $3,000. $34,000. Our big concern with the challenges we have with access is that fewer Albertans are going to get vaccinated. More are going to develop the infections. More are going to land in the acute care facilities that are already overstretched. And this is going to cost all of us when it comes to hospital costs, but also lost income, missed days at work, all sorts of downstream effects. The Ministry for Primary and Preventive Health Services claims, COVID

vaccinations are only cost-effective for those who are at higher risk. And that is your world this hour. Remember, you can listen to us wherever you get your podcast. We update every hour seven days a week. Or for news anytime, visit our website, cbcnews.ca. For CBC News, I'm Neil Kumar. Thank you.
