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.

The demotion comes after a year-long outbreak with thousands of confirmed cases, and it still isn't fully contained. Alison Northcott reports. Canada eliminated measles transmission nearly 30 years ago, but in the past year, the virus has come back in a big way. Mizzles is the most contagious virus known to humankind. With more than 12 months of transmission

since a case introduced to the country by travel began to spread, Dr. Yarboz Barbosa, director of the Pan-American Health Organization, says Canada has officially lost its measles elimination status. Dr. Daniel Salaz, head of the organization's comprehensive immunization program, says that has implications for the entire region of the Americas. The Americas lost the status because, Canada lost the status. In Canada, two babies born prematurely who contracted the virus before birth have died.

Canada's public health agency says there have been cases in several provinces and territories, primarily within close-knit under-vaccinated communities. Canada will have to interrupt transmission for at least 12 months to once again be considered measles-free. Alison Northcott, CBC News, Montreal. Prime Minister Mark Carney is getting to work selling his budget to Canadians. In New Brunswick, he spoke about prioritizing buying Canadian for large infrastructure projects. Kay McKenna has more.

We're going to build, but it's not just about what we build, it's also how we build. Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada needs to become its own best customer. Speaking at a modular home business, he says the government's buy Canadian strategy will involve new rules to make sure Canadian companies are used to build new infrastructure. Ensuring that as much as possible of that,

$70 billion we're planning to invest in the roads, bridges and community centers on which Canadians rely, comes from Canadian-made suppliers. Kearney hasn't said how this will work. And some critics warn it could drive up costs depending on what the government does next. All of this is partially in response to Donald Trump's trade war and the tariffs on steel and aluminum that hurt Canadian industry. Kate McKenna, CBC News, Ottawa. Canada's Governor-General Mary Simon is in the hospital tonight, recovering

from a respiratory virus. Simon is said to be doing well, but she'll miss this year's National Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa on Tuesday. Her deputy and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Richard Wagner, will attend on her behalf. An explosion has killed at least eight people in the capital of India. It happened at one of Delhi's most recognizable monuments, which receives thousands of tourists every day. Salima Shivji has details. The blast hit just before 7 in the evening in a crowded area, near one of Delhi's most famous landmarks, the historic red fort. A slow-moving vehicle stopped at a red light and then the vehicle exploded, says Delhi's police commissioner Satish Golcha. At least six cars nearby also burst into flames as ambulances and firefighters rushed to the scene.

I've never heard such a loud explosion in my life, this local shopkeeper says. I was knocked down three times. Local media outlets are reporting that many of the casualties died before making it to hospital. Several others are seriously injured. What led to the car exploding is still being investigated, police say. But it's already put the country, scarred by bombings blamed on militant groups in the mid-2000s, once again on edge. Delhi, Mumbai, and two states neighboring the capital are all on high alert. Salima Shivji, CBC News, Deradun, India.
