The World This Hour for 2025/11/05 at 11:00 EST

Hey, I'm Sarah Marshall, and there's one story from the past that I've been circling around for years now. This eight-part series traces the hidden history of the satanic panic in North America. We'll connect the dots from Victoria, BC, to the backroads of Kentucky. Satan was having a moment, the sensationalist heartthrob of our time. The Devil You Know, available now wherever you get your podcasts. from cbc news it's the world this hour i'm joe cummings nova scotia MP chris d'antraman is explaining today why he has left the conservative party to join the liberals i didn't find i was represented there that my ideals of trying to find ways to to find solutions and and help your community rather than trying to oppose everything that's happening.

And I think that's the opportunity that's being offered by Prime Minister Carney and the government caucus is to help find solutions at this critical time for Canada. Dantrema crossed the floor yesterday, just as a liberal budget was being tabled. He says the liberal fiscal plan is the correct path forward for both his riding and the country. As for the liberal caucus, it is welcoming Dantramal and any other conservative considering a move. Here is a Liberal MP, Mark Miller. It's not about the conservative movement. It's about the individual that leads it.

And if those people are tired of them, then they know how I've been feeling for the last few years. In the House of Commons, the Liberals are two seats from a majority. Still with the budget, as the Liberal government begins the job of selling it to Canadians, it's putting out front that historic investments are in the works for the military and the defense industry. But as Murray Brewster reports, it's not clear yet how and where those investments. will be rolled out. I have even more good news, Mr. Speaker.

Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne. We will meet our 2% NATO commitment this year. The Liberal government has set aside an additional $81.8 billion over five years to rearm the Canadian military. But the new federal budget offers only a vague, big-picture view on how the money will be spent. It also does not spell out the politically important pathway to meeting NATO's defense spending target of 5% of the gross domestic product. Defense expert Dave Perry.

He says, given the build-up, he was expecting more clarity. The government that has made so much of wanting to commit to NATO targets has really only provided a book-end. There is more money, billions for recruiting, training, new equipment, defense infrastructure, and beefing up cyber defense capabilities. $6 billion is set aside to build up Canada's defense industry, and the government is introducing a by-Canada policy. How that affects the Defense Department, which has billions of dollars in equipment on order from the U.S., is unclear. Brewster. CBC News, Ottawa.

Meanwhile, the U.S. tariffs that have shaped the direction of the liberal budget face a crucial test today in Washington, the U.S. Supreme Court will be hearing arguments in a case that looks to determine if the tariffs are legal under the Constitution. Mike Crowley explains. One of the most important decisions in the history of our country. U.S. President Donald Trump showing just how badly he wants to win this case. At stake, billions of dollars worth of tariffs, he's important. imposed on imports from dozens of countries, including Canada. Without tariffs, our country would be in great jeopardy.

The case before the Supreme Court does not address the tariffs Trump has levied on specific sectors. Instead, it's focused on Trump's use of an economic emergency law to hit countries with broad-based tariffs over cross-border fentanyl trafficking and long-running trade deficits. He's saying that this is an emergency. Harold Hongzhou Coe is a professor at Yale Law School. It's a persistent problem, not an unusual, extraordinary threat that has suddenly arisen.

The case was brought by small businesses who say the president violated the Constitution with his tariff regime. The lower court rulings all went against the administration. Mike Crowley, CBC News, Washington. Still in the U.S., voters in New York City have elected a new mayor. My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. That is So-Ran Mandani. It was a landslide win for the 34-year-old who ends up with more than 50% of the vote by promising, among other things, free city buses, child care, rent freezes, and government-run grocery stores. There were other big wins last night for the Democrats elsewhere across the U.S. as well.

The campaigns for governor in both Virginia and New Jersey were both won by Democrats. And that is the world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings. Thank you.
