Those are big projects with big budgets that Ottawa is promising to fast track through the approvals process.

Aid is beginning to trickle into northern Gaza after Israel reopened another border crossing there.

monitor says the territories north remains heavily affected by famine. Tom Perry reports. The first images of trucks loaded with aid arriving via the Zikkim crossing in northern Gaza, after Israel announced this week it would reopen the entrance for the first time in two months. Truck driver Abdul Karim Abdu Daka says roughly 80 trucks were loaded up for the territory on this first day of operations. Until now, aid that was allowed into Gaza came in through two crossings in the south. Humanitarian groups and the UN had been pleading with Israel to open more crossings to permit more food, fuel, and medicine into the territory. Even with this third gateway now unlocked, the needs in Gaza are still great.

Tom Perry, CBC News, Jerusalem. A new U.S. study suggests that ultra-processed food is tied to an increased risk of early-onset colorectal cancer. That means shelf-stable and preserved foods like mass-produced bread, breakfast cereal, and instant soup. Nearly 30,000 women participated in this study. It found those who ate the most ultra-processed foods had a higher risk of developing a polyp linked to cancer. Scientists say the findings link food to rising rates of cancer in young adults in their 20s, 30s, and 40s.

And police in Hamilton, Ontario, arrested a man who took a city bus for a joyride. And although police say the stunt was dangerous, they admit the fake driver did a pretty good job behind the wheel. Philip Lee Shanik has more. Police say the bus was left idling at a day downtown Hamilton bus terminal. The driver had exited the bus for their scheduled break.

When they returned, the bus was gone. Trevor McKenna of the Hamilton Police Services says 10 passengers were aboard, so officers followed at a safe distance. Because we didn't want to spook them. We didn't want to activate our roof lights. We didn't want to make this a tragedy. We wanted to just stop the vehicle safely and get everyone off. McKenna said the man was seen stopping for passengers and even collected fares.

He would come across a bus stop and he would open the doors and let people on and off. McKenna says after about 15 minutes, police arrested a 36-year-old unhoused man and recovered the bus. Not a ding on the bus. So it's funny, but at the same time, it's serious. We're thankful that nothing serious happened, but the potential was there. Police charged the unidentified man with theft and driving while prohibited. Philip LeShannock, CBC News, Toronto. And that is The World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Kate McGilfrey. Thank you.
