The World This Hour for 2025/11/07 at 09:00 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 for the second month in a row there is good news from the canadian job market statistics canada says 67 000 new jobs were added to the economy in october moves the unemployment rate now to 6.7 percent down from 7.1 in september peter armstrong has more we were warned these numbers

can be volatile and boy did they deliver. This is way higher than anyone expected and adds another month to a season of pretty wild swings. Remember, we added 83,000 jobs in June, then lost 105,000 jobs in July and August. September saw that rebound of 60,000 jobs and now October added 67,000 jobs. So a lot of swings there, but these gains do pick up on the momentum from September. Big gains in the area's hardest hit by the trade war. Wholesale trade is up. Transportation and warehousing is up. The city of Windsor, which had seen the unemployment rate rise to 11% clawed at least some of that back to 9.6%. The question, of course, is whether this is just another blip or perhaps a real sign of some stabilization in the Canadian economy. We'll need more

data to say yes or no to that one way or the other. Peter Armstrong, CBC News, Toronto. to the political intrigue on Parliament Hill on the latest from the Conservative Party. It is losing another member of its caucus with Alberta MP Matt Jennero announcing his resignation. It comes just one day after another conservative MP crossed the floor and join the Liberals. Tom Perry reports. I just wish them all the best. From conservative MPs like John Brassard warm wishes for a colleague who's calling it quits. Edmonton MP Matt Jenneru says he's stepping down to focus on his family, though his name had

been mentioned as someone who might be interested in crossing the floor after Nova Scotia MP Chris Dantramont this week jumped from the Conservatives to the Liberals. Conservative MP Pat Kelly insists the talk around Generoux was just that. Talk. It's disappointing to hear some of the silly rumors. But to Liberal MP Mark Gerritson, one conservative jumping ship and another one leaving should send a message. The Conservative Party of Canada no longer has room for progressive views. Conservative leader Pierre Pauliev posted a message on social media, thanking Jenneru for his service, adding he expected him to stay on as an MP until spring. Tom Perry, CBC News, Ottawa.

Meanwhile, another budget amendment is being voted on today in the House of Commons. It's from the Blockiebecois, and it calls on MPs to reject the liberal budget because it is, quote, harmful to Quebec. Yesterday's amendment put forward by the conservatives was voted down. It called for the budget to be rejected because, as it doesn't offer Canadians, quote, an affordable life. The final debate and the final vote on the budget is set for later this month. MPs have next month off and will return to the House November 17th.

Almost a month into the Gaza ceasefire and humanitarian groups are saying the emergency aid promised for the territory is not getting through. Crystal Gamansing has more. Palestinians call out to grab the attention of soup kitchen workers in Han Yunus while holding out their empty pots. The hope was that the ceasefire would have put a stop to scenes like this. The situation there remains absolutely horrific. Roland Friedrich is with UNRWA.

Israel banned the agency from operating within its territory and the areas under its control. Abir Atifa is the senior spokesperson for the World Food Program. WFP needs all crossings to be open. 600 trucks were to be allowed in daily as a part of the peace deal. Itifa says currently only a third or a quarter of the expected supplies are entering Gaza. Kogat, the Israeli aid coordination group, says hundreds of trucks are entering Gaza daily, but did not provide CBC with specific numbers.

Crystal Gamansing, CBC News, Jerusalem. And that is the world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings. Thank you.
