The World This Hour for 2025/11/02 at 18:00 EST

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.

Donate at lovescarbro.cairbo. from cbic news the world this hour i'm gina louise phillips tuesday is a big day for the carney government that's when it will introduce its first budget but because he leads a minority government carney will need some opposition support to pass it benjamin lopez stephen has the latest the liberal minority government will introduce a federal budget on tuesday but it's not at all clear if the government has enough opposition votes to pass it, and that raises the prospect of a snap election. You can have an affordable budget,

and I've given Mr. Kearney a plan for that. All he has to do is accept it. Conservative leader Pierre Pahliav says he wants a budget that keeps the federal deficit under $42 billion and drops the industrial carbon tax. We can't have a costly budget that makes life more costly for the Canadian people. Frankly, given the serious issues facing us,

I'm not sure that an election is good for the country at the moment. Interim NDP leader Don Davies says his party is worried about cuts to the public service, but he doesn't think Canadians want another trip to the polls. Prime Minister Mark Carney says he's confident this budget is the right one for Canada and he's ready for a fight. Benjamin Lopez, Stephen, CBC News, Ottawa. The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury says the U.S. government has not put an additional 10% tariff on Canadian goods and services. President Donald Trump said he would as punishment for an Ontario.

ad campaign. The ad used clips of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan arguing against the use of trade barriers. Today, Secretary Scott Bessent was asked if Prime Minister Mark Carney's apology meant they would be lifted. He hasn't put on a 10% tariff. He threatened to put on a 10%. So he didn't actually do it? It hasn't been put on yet. This is unacceptable. The Premier of Ontario spent $75 million sending propaganda via our airwaves. It's the equivalent of election and interference. The Trump administration claims former President Reagan was a fan of tariffs when in fact he was a supporter of free trade. As the U.S. government shutdown enters its second month, a shortage of air traffic controllers continued to cause flight delays this weekend. Some are

refusing to work without pay. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy reassured users today that air travel will remain safe during the shutdown. B.C. has launched a pilot project designed to help communities dealing with frequent emergency room closures. It will see doctors in some communities rotate overnight shifts with one doctor providing virtual care to low-risk patients. Clearwater Mayor Merlin Blackwell says he expects the system will benefit both patients and doctors. This is an attempt to try to give these doctors the opportunity to sleep and get refreshed and get a break from this and get a little bit of quality of life back.

Blackwell hopes the pilot will also improve the recruitment and retention of doctors to smaller communities. An avian flu outbreak is affecting seven commercial poultry farms in BC's Fraser Valley, and six of those cases were identified in the last couple of weeks. As Caroline Bargut tells us, lockdowns have been ordered as farmers desperately try to protect their flocks. When a farm is on lockdown, the birds are kept in barns and not allowed out. Every vehicle that comes to the property must be disinfected. And every worker who interacts with the animals must wear protective equipment and change their clothes. That's because if avian flu is detected at a commercial poultry farm,

every bird, infected or not, must be called. Last year, 81 farms in British Columbia reported infections. BC's chief veterinarian Teresa Byrne says the province could be on track to a similar result. Based on what we saw in the prairies and what we're seeing in Washington, we would anticipate the infection pressure could be just as high as in the last years. The province is currently studying whether air filtration in barns helps prevent the spread of the virus, with around 70 commercial farms taking part in the pilot project. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency estimates 8.8 million birds have died or been culled in B.C in recent years.
