The World This Hour for 2025/11/07 at 08:00 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.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and his minority liberal government face a critical vote today in the House of Commons. The Block Quebecois has put forward an amendment calling on the House to reject the liberal budget.

And if it passes, it could trigger an election. But the liberals aren't the only party under pressure. The Conservatives are. reeling with the news yesterday that MP Matt Jenneroo is resigning. Janice McGregor reports. I can't recall another resignation that was announced and then had to be clarified with a second statement. Jennero's first letter did not say when he was stepping down.

Then shortly after, opposition leader Pierre Pollyev said on social media that it wouldn't be until spring. And in the meantime, he's still a conservative. But then later in the evening, a second statement was sent directly to the media by the opposition leader's office, denying that there was any coercion involved after reports that he'd met with the prime minister and saying that Jean-Aruh wished Pauliev the best. CBC News obtained talking points that were sent to conservative MPs telling them to say a fake floor crossing rumor had expedited what was apparently a long-standing decision by the MP to

eventually move to Victoria with his family. But if this was a long-standing, intention. Why did he reoffer in the election that was just six months ago? Janice McGregor. CBC News, Ottawa. Incidentally, Jenneroo was not in the House of Commons last night for an amendment vote, and it's not clear yet if he'll be in the House later this month for the final vote on the budget. The latest employment numbers are being released today from Statistics Canada and considering the roller coaster ride the jobs market has been on in recent months. Most analysts don't know what to expect. Peter Armstrong has more. You don't need to look far to see for yourself that the Canadian economy is slowing.

On the main street of just about every town or neighborhood, you can feel it as confidence and spending have dropped off in the face of the trade war. Canada has been on the precipice of a recession for months. Terrorists and uncertainty have been weighing on the economy all year. It's incredibly volatile. Claire Fenn, senior economist at RBC, says there have been wild swings in the jobs market. 83,000 jobs were added in jobs. June, 105,000 were then lost in July and August before another surge in September added 60,000 jobs.

Fan says economists are trying to zoom out past all the distortions in the economy right now. To cut through all the noise, the focus should be on the unemployment rate, and we're looking for the unemployment rate to stay steady at 7.1%. But if the past few months is any guide, prepare to be surprised when today's numbers come out. Peter Armstrong, CBC News, Toronto. If you're flying into or through the United States this weekend, you should know there are flight reductions at airports right across the country. It's the result of the government shutdown and the fact air traffic controllers are calling in sick because they aren't getting paid. Lily Lowry has more now from Reagan National Airport in Washington.

This is one of the 40 airports slated to see a 4% reduction in flights starting today, and that's going to wrap up to 10% by next Friday. So far, there have already been 17 canceled flights out of Reagan. And even though that number may seem high, it's not as high as some travelers were expecting. Now that I'm here, I'm less worried. My flight is on time, luckily. We do have a connection. I'm looking at the security lines now. They look okay.

There have been more than 800 canceled flights in the U.S. today. And that number includes planes traveling into and out of the country. Air Canada says it is maintaining its normal scheduled flights, but passengers connecting in the U.S. on partner airlines will be impacted. Porter Airlines told CBC that they've already seen disruptions, and as the shutdown continues and these flight reductions increase, so too will the headache for travelers. Willie Lowry, CBC News, Washington.
