I said the always entertaining, no, the always interesting, the always unpredictable, Premier Ford. Yeah, God, sorry, I've got, I don't know why I mixed the two up, President and Premier Ford.

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 one-nothing lead in the first, but Toronto came back to tide in the third. It stayed that way until the seventh. 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 2 to 1. Two batters later, it was 3 to 1. This time it was Max Muncie hitting the home run. L.A. added two more runs than the 8th.

That was more than enough for L.A. starter, Yoshi Yamamoto, 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, threw out the ceremonial first pitch. But on this night, there was no Joe Carter walk-off magic.

Bring the employer back to the table and come back with actual 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 Minister of Finance 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 major category four storm and could intensify to a cap five by tonight.
