I'm Neil Kumar. The LA Dodgers have now evened the World Series at one game apiece after defeating the Toronto Blue Jays in game two by a score of 5-1. Steve Futterman has more. Winning the first two games of the World Series doesn't guarantee victory, but it gives you a pretty good chance. And that's what the Blue Jays were hoping to do. The Dodgers took an early 1-0 lead in the first,

but Toronto came back to tide in the third. It stayed that way until the seven. High drive deep to left field. It's Smith with a big swing. Dodger catcher Will Smith hit a solo home run to make it two to one. Two batters later, it was three to one. This time it was Max Muncie hitting the home run. L.A. added two more runs than the eighth.

That was more than enough for L.A. starter, Yoshiyamamoto, who did something very rare in modern baseball. Pitch a complete game in the World Series. Before the game, the hero of the Blue Jays' 1993 World Series Championship, Joe Carter, throughout the ceremonial first pitch. But on this night, there was no Joe Carter walk-off magic. Steve Futterman, CBC News at the World Series in Toronto. A top U.S. lawmakers is weighing in on U.S. President Donald Trump

terminating trade talks with Canada. In a Canadian exclusive interview with CBC News Chief Political Correspondent, Rosemary Barton, Tim Cain, a Democratic member of the Senate Form Relations Committee says he expects Trump will come back to the table with Canada and calls the President's move embarrassing. Donald Trump, who's so petulant, you know, lets it make him mad and terminates negotiations, but that won't last. We have to get back to the table to talk not only about the current tariff back and forth, but even the bigger game of what do we do with USMCA, which was a Trump success from his first term, in terms of finding a

negotiation and improvement of it next year. So I think this is a little temper tantrum that the toddler will have and it will blow over, but it's embarrassing for the United States that we have a president who lets an ad rattle him so deeply. You can watch the full Canadian exclusive interview with U.S. Senator Tim Kane this morning on Rosemary Barton Live, starting at 10am Eastern Time on the CBC News Network. Meantime, U.S. President Donald Trump has overseen a peace deal between Thailand and Cambodia. as both countries have had a long-standing border dispute. Trade pressure from Trump led to a ceasefire in late July,

which ended five days of clashes that killed over two dozen people. Trump is in Malaysia, where he will attend the summit of the Association of the Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN. The province of Alberta could be bracing itself for another strike. Some members of the Alberta Union of provincial employees will hold a strike vote from October 30th to November 3rd. This time it involves nursing care workers with Alberta health services. Bargaining began in March of last year. The two sides have yet to reach a deal.

Union Vice President Bonnie Costola says a strike vote could move things forward. Bring the employer back to the table and come back with actually being prepared to bargain with us and address our top priorities at that table, as was actually asked for by the mediator. In a statement to CBC, the office of the press secretary to the finance minister says it won't comment on active negotiations out of respect for the bargaining process. If the AUPE members do vote in support of strike action, they have 120 days to serve notice. Hurricane Melissa has strengthened into a Category 3 storm.
