The World This Hour for 2025/11/02 at 22:00 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.

But because he has a minority of seats in the House of Commons, Carney will need some opposition support to pass it. Benjamin Lopez-Steven reports. 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. Voters across Quebec cast ballots today in municipal elections and the results are now being counted. CBC News projects that Bruno Marchand will be re-elected mayor of Quebec City. In his victory speech just minutes ago, Marciaun said it's really touching to see all of his supporters.

And we've got some breaking news from Montreal. The CBC News Decision Desicons now projects that Soraya Martinez-Ferada will be the next mayor of Montreal. That call came just minutes ago. Members of the Trump administration were talking about Ontario's anti-tariff ad campaign once again, suggesting it was an attempt to influence the U.S. Supreme Court. This week, it will hear legal challenges to President Trump's violation of Kuzma and other trade deals. Mike Crowley has more. Ontario's anti-tariff ad used excerpts from a Ronald Reagan speech.

Trump has claimed it was an attempt to influence a looming case in the top court of the U.S. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs, and they totally changed that to say that he didn't, because they're catering to the Supreme Court. On Wednesday, the court will hear arguments on the legality of what Trump calls his Liberation Day tariffs and the tariffs he imposed on Canada, Mexico, and China over fentanyl trafficking. Elizabeth Weidre leads the Constitutional Accountability Center, a non-profit legal group in Washington. For the Trump administration, tariffs have been a big leveraging chip.

Weidre says the stakes are also high for the Supreme Court. They have so far, this second Trump administration, been acquiescent in Trump's power grabs. This will be a test of whether they actually will be the check that the Constitution envisioned. Mike Crowley, CBC News, Washington. Help from Canada is on the way to Jamaica and other Caribbean islands hit by Hurricane Melissa.

The Category 5 storm killed dozens of people. As Philip Lee Shanach reports, members of the Jamaican community in Canada are coming together to help. There are more than a quarter million Canadians with connections to the island nation. At the Toronto headquarters of the Jamaican Canadian Association, volunteers gather donations. Harold Maddox says everyone in the community knows someone impacted and want to help. He says, as in any disaster, some fraudulent fundraisers have already popped up. There's a lot of scamming going on.

He says to look for credible organizations or government entities. There are some listed on the Jamaican calls. General to Toronto and Jamaican High Commission websites. The Canadian government has donated $7 million for humanitarian relief to be distributed by the Canadian Red Cross. But the storm also damaged many of the island's farms and killed thousands of livestock. Jamaican authorities say the country's 2.8 million people could face food shortages. Philip Ashanox, CBC News, Toronto.

And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Neil Hurley. lend.
