The separate day and ceremonies began in the 1990s after a group of Mohawk veterans were not allowed to lay a wreath on the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Michelle Song was at a service in Ottawa and has more. A traditional song dedicated to those who have fallen and gone. gone unrecognized. Veterans, families, and current service members came together at Toronto's City Hall to acknowledge the indigenous people who fought and died.

Grandmother Liz is a band member of the Sipanakiti Indian Reservation in Nova Scotia and her father served in the Korean War. But upon his return, he was

met with racism and discrimination. When he came back, it was worse because he wasn't recognized. He had no voting rights. He had nothing when he came back. So he had to earn the respect. Liz says it's important for Canadians to recognize what her father and what

other indigenous men and women sacrificed and to remember their stories. Michelle Song, CBC News, Toronto. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe will be sticking around. He received more than 80% in a leadership vote at his Saskatchewan Party's convention. Last year, Moe's government won a fifth straight

majority. The U.S. federal government's record-breaking shutdown grinds on today. From poor Americans not getting food subsidies to travelers trying to get on flights, many are feeling the repercussions of this. Ira Spitzer has the latest from Washington. Around a thousand flights have already been canceled today and things are expected to get worse. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration ordered a 4% reduction in flights over the weekend, set to gradually increase to 10% by Thursday. The cancellations are intended to relieve the pressure on air traffic controllers and security staff who haven't been paid since mid-October. These travelers at the Phoenix airport say they can only hope things go smoothly. I'm here about an hour or two earlier than I would normally get to

the airport. So yeah, I'm a little concerned. You have to leave next week, and so we're hopeful that We'll be able to get out again. Senators met on Capitol Hill in a rare Saturday session to try to make progress on ending the shutdown now in day 39. Democrats are demanding expiring health care subsidies be extended before they'll vote to reopen the government. Iris Betzer for CBC News, Washington. A big battle is underway in the CFL.

The BC Lions take on the Saskatchewan Rough Riders in the Western Final. The winner will face the Montreal Alouettes in the Grey Cup. This excitement comes against the backdrop of a league that's been struggling for years to stay afloat financially. Sports journalist Ed Klyman is in Hamilton, and he says the league plans to change the rules to try to secure its future. So next year, there'll be some minor modifications. The following year, there'll be some major modifications where the actual dimensions of the field will change, where they put the uprights, will change. It will actually be more in sync with football playing in the United States, which has a lot of people upset up here, including NATO. and Rourke, the star Canadian quarterback for the BC Lions.

A lot of other people think this is bang on. This is exactly where they need to go because the National Football League is so popular here. So no matter what new leagues come in, the NFL, it's going to do really well in Canada. It's proven it's on an upward trajectory. And the CFL has kind of, in some respects, ridden the coattails of the NFL. In other respects, they're kind of competing with them a little bit. If they can be a little bit more in sync with the NFL, the thinking goes, young people who are really into the NFL, we'll also get into the CFL.

We'll see if that all pans out. Winnipeg will host the 112th Grey Cup on November 16th. And that is The World This Hour. Remember, you can listen to us wherever you get your podcasts.
