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.

Sarah Levitt's CBC News, Montreal. The Ontario government is sitting on a secret stash of booze worth nearly $80 million. That's the wholesale cost of millions of bottles of beer, wine, and liquor, pulled from LCBO shelves back in March as part of the ongoing U.S.-Canada trade fight.

But as Colin Butler reports, details about the booze are being held from the public. Just ludicrous. Toronto Metropolitan University Professor James Turk is blunt. He's an expert on censorship and government transparency, and he's calling the Ontario government out. To claim that what their inventory of American water is, wine and liquor is, is a cabinet confidence is bizarre and outrageous. The LCBO is sitting on almost $80 million in American booze, pulled from the shelves in

March as part of the ongoing U.S.-Canada trade fight. When CBC asked for details under the Freedom of Information Act, it took 64 days to respond, twice the legal limit. 50 pages eventually came back, but most of them were blacked out. how much booze is expiring, how much has been destroyed, the cost of it all, redacted. In Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, similar stockpile information is public. The Premier's Office, the Ministry of Finance, and the LCBO did not respond to a request for comment.

U.S. President Donald Trump gave a sit-down interview to 60 minutes last night, and he was asked by the CBS News program if he would try to run for a third term in the White House. Can you set the record straight? You're not going to try and run for a third term? Well, I don't even think about it. I will tell you, a lot of people want me to run. Since 1951, the U.S. has had a constitutional amendment limiting presidents to two terms. A retired truck driver says he's learned a hard lesson after selling his used SUV and still being held responsible for it. As Rosa Markitelli reports, it's exposing a legal gap that could put anyone who sells a car at risk. I didn't know what to do.

Daryl Nash has bought and sold plenty of vehicles. The last one was an aging Accura with more than 300,000 kilometers and mechanical issues. He sold it for $500 cash. Two adult people made a deal, signed papers, and transferred money. That should be the end of it. But it wasn't. Months later, Nash says he was blindsided by a towing and storage bill for the vehicle. The SUV had been abandoned on the side of the road.

The buyer never registered the vehicle. So Nash is still legally responsible. A loophole in the law leaves sellers on the hook for tickets, towing fees, even criminal liability. Lawyer Scott Stanley says it's an easy fix if provinces are willing. It would be a simple fix just to make it a mandatory transfer at the time of sale. But BC and others say they aren't planning any changes. Nash says he's refusing to pay a bill for a vehicle he no longer owns. For a buyer, he can't find.
