The World This Hour for 2025/11/04 at 23:00 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 CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Neil Hurland. I would like the table in both official languages. The budget documents for 2025. Finance Minister Francois-Philippe-Champaign rises in the House of Commons. This is the first budget released with Mark Carney as Prime Minister, and it projects a $78 billion deficit. The plan is a major shift from a government focused on social programs to industry. Marina von Stackleberg reports. This $78 billion deficit is nearly double what the previous liberal government pegged it at less than a year ago.

This budget fundamentally shifts new government spending from programs to projects. Ottawa has earmarked $280 billion in capital spending over the next five years. Money for infrastructure, housing, defense, and tax credits, including for companies to write off new factories and technology. It's an aggressive industrial policy to push back against the U.S. and try to spur private investment in Canada. To help pay for it, the Liberals plan to rein in spending on day-to-day government operations by $60 billion within five years.

That includes cutting 40,000 jobs in the public service. The budget shows Canada's economic picture remains rocky. One sign, the federal government, expects a significant spending uptick for employment insurance. Marina von Stackleberg, CBC News, Ottawa. In the budget aftermath, the Nova Scotia MP is resigning from the Conservative Caucus and crossing the floor to join the Liberals. Chris Dantraman represents the riding of Acadianapolis.

He released a statement tonight. It says he's joining the Liberal Caucus to support the path promised in the new budget. Now to Louisville, Kentucky. Oh, my goodness! Witnesses watch in horror as a UPS cargo plane crashes and explodes into a massive fireball. Video shows flames on the plane's left wing and a trail of smoke just before the crash. At least seven people are dead. Andy Beshear is the governor of Kentucky.

At approximately 5.14 p.m. Eastern time tonight, UPS flight 2976 from Louisville, Kentucky to Honolulu, Hawaii. An MD-11 with three crew members on board was involved in a catastrophic crash here in Louisville adjacent to our airport. Louisville is home to the largest UPS shipping center in the world with 300 cargo flights per day. Zoran Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York City. The 34-year-old was born in Uganda. He's the first Muslim mayor of the Big Apple. Mamdani beat former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo tonight in a vote that worldwide attention. Cuomo just spoke with his supporters.

This campaign was to contest the philosophies that are shaping the Democratic Party, the future of this city, and the future of this country. Mumdani is a Democratic socialist who's promising to make New York more affordable. And there were other elections held across the U.S. Tuesday, Democrat Abigail Spanberger, has won the governor's race in Virginia. We sent a message to the whole world that in 2025, Virginia chose pragmatism over partisanship.

And we're still waiting for the results of a ballot question in California on changing the election map. China says Canada is once again on the list of approved destinations for Chinese tour groups. The work that we've been doing to recalibrate the Canada-China relationship has been ongoing for some weeks.

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anon says this is a sign both countries want to advance their relationship. The move comes just days after Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of a summit in South Korea. And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Neil Hurland. Thank you.
