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.

It was one of the most shocking acts of domestic violence in Canadian history, a triple femicide 10 years ago in the Ottawa Valley. And now CBC News has obtained the killer's probation records, and they raised some troubling questions about Ontario's probation system. Christine Nietzreepors.

In 2015, three women were murdered at separate locations west of Ottawa in one morning. Natalie Warmerdam, Anastasia Cusick, and Carol Culleton by their abusive ex, Basil Barutki. At the time, he'd recently been on probation for threatening Warmerdams family, and he was on active probation for choking Cusick. So what was the score a manager gave his probation officer two days after the murders? Target met, the highest possible. The manager's glowing review revealed for the first time after CBC News obtained Burrutsky's probation file. The records also reveal that the same manager reviewed the case twice before the murders.

But their handling of Barutki, a high-risk offender, never changed. Ontario's Ministry of the Solicitor General, which runs the probation system, says the case review protocol has been updated since 2015. What's changed? The ministry declined to answer. As for Barutski, he died in prison last year. Christy Nice. CBC News, Ottawa.

It is a weaker Category 1 storm, but officials are warning the wind and rain will be severe and potentially dangerous. Meanwhile, in Jamaica, the cleanup continues from Melissa's arrival earlier this week.

I'm just clean it out, yeah, clean it out right and, yeah. I don't eat anything yet, so I just want to forget things come back to normal. Melissa was a Category 5 storm when it slammed into the island on Tuesday. It knocked out power to three quarters of the island, with property damage estimated at more than $20 billion.

Thanks to another big win last night in Los Angeles, the Blue Jays now just one victory away from winning this year's World Series,

behind some timely hitting and great pitching. The Jays beat the Dodgers 6 to 1 and now have a 3-2 series lead. Jamie Strassion has more. A historic performance by rookie sensation, Trey Yassavage has the Toronto Blue Jays on the cusp of a World Series crown. In a word, Yassavich was sensational. The 22-year-old making only his 8th Major League start struck out 12 and surrendered only one run over seven masterful innings.

The 12 strikeouts the most by a rookie pitcher in World Series history. Offensively for the Blue Jays, it was again Vladimir Guerrero Jr. who led the way. Guerrero and Davis Schneider hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning, and the Jays never looked back, cruising to a 6-1 win in 4. front of a disheartened crowd at Dodgers Stadium. The series now heads back to Toronto for game six Friday. The Jays have a chance to win the franchise's third world series and the first since 1993. Jamie Strash and CBC News, Los Angeles.
