The World This Hour for 2025/11/07 at 10:00 EST

Okay, I'll confess I totally jumped on the Blue Jays bandwagon last minute, but even I was gutted when they lost game seven of the World Series. And here on Commotion, look, we process our feelings together. This week, I talk with Blue Jays fans about the heartbreak of the World Series loss, but we also get into why the fans want to see this team, this very specific group of people, stick together because, look, we're all now gutting for Blue Jays 2026. Find this episode and a whole lot more on Commotion with me, Alameen Abdul-Bahmood, on YouTube, or wherever you. you get your podcasts. From CBC News, it's the world this hour. I'm Joe Cummings. There is good news today from the labor market.

Statistics Canada says the economy added more than 67,000 new jobs last month. That drops the unemployment rate down to 6.9% from 7.1 in September. Despite the ongoing Trump tariff campaign, It's the second month in a row. We've seen an increase in hirings right across the country. 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 Jenneru is resigning. Janice McGregor has more. I can't recall another resignation that was announced and then had to be clarified with a second statement. Generu'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 Janiru wished Pollyev 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.

Jenneroo wasn't in the House of Commons last night for an amendment vote, and it's not clear at this point if he'll be in the House later this month for the final vote on the budget. If you have plans to fly into the United States, you should know that flight reductions are going into effect 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. Willie 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.

Vietnam is cleaning up today after being hit by Typhoon Kalmegi. A powerful storm down power lines and uprooted trees right across central Vietnam. Five people are reported who have been killed and more than half a million are homeless. Earlier this week, almost 200 people were killed as Kalmagi tour across the Philippines. The typhoon is now headed toward Cambodia. The new Farmers Almanac is out. But regular readers be warned, the 2026 edition will be the last. After 208 years, the publication is shutting down.

The publisher based in Maine says the almanac is not suited to the current media environment. Since 1818, the Farmer's Almanac has been offering farmers and gardeners' weather predictions and other advice heading into every new growing season. And that is the world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
