I'm Kate McGilvery. Ontario's ban on municipal speed cameras is now in effect. Premier Doug Ford says speed cameras are a cash grab and claims they do nothing to slow down speeding drivers. But dozens of municipalities disagree. Their mayors have been urging Ford to tweak the program instead of scrapping it entirely. Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow is one of them.

We know speed cameras works. So can we improve it? Absolutely, we're in the middle of doing it and then, bang, gone. Do I see any rationale behind it? No. Mayors also say, with cameras gone, municipalities are losing an important source of revenue.

The Ford government says it will give more than $200 million for other road safety measures like speed bumps and raised crosswalks. The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld the federal law on drunk driving tests. It sets the standard for all provinces and territories, but it was challenged by two men from New Brunswick who were convicted of drunk driving. Olivia Stefanovic has the details.

In 2018, the federal government introduced changes to impair driving laws, including mandatory alcohol screening across the country. The move authorized law enforcement to demand a breath sample at the roadside from any driver. Now, the Supreme Court of Canada has upheld those criminal code amendments. It dismissed appeals from two men in New Brunswick convicted, of drunk driving. They challenged who can administer breathalisers and the quality of evidence. In response, the top court released two decisions Friday morning. In separate 8-to-1 rulings, the High Court upheld the convictions against both men and ruled any changes to impair driving

cases would go against Parliament's goal of making drunk driving cases simple and efficient. Olivia Stefanovic, CBC News, Ottawa. In Finland and Labrador's progressive conservative majority is hanging by a thread. A request has been granted for a judicial recount in a critical electoral district. A provincial Supreme Court justice ruled it is possible that some ballots in Topsyl Paradise might have been miscounted. The Progressive Conservative Party won a razor-thin majority in October's provincial election. If just one seat changes from blue to red, the PCs will be switched to holding a minority government. Two other recounts requested by the province's liberals have both been rejected.

Tanzania's new president is promising to investigate the violence that marred last month's elections. Samia Salihu Hassan told Parliament the state will create a commission to work towards, quote, reconciliation. Hassan won with 98% of the vote after two of her biggest challengers were excluded from running. On voting day, deadly protests broke out around the country, leading to curfews being imposed and restrictions on internet. The UN said this week it believes hundreds were killed in the clashes. And the Saskatchewan Rough Riders will face off against the Montreal Alouettes in the 112th Grey Cup this weekend.

This is the last game before some controversial CFL rule changes take effect next season. Karen Pauls explains. The new rules embrace innovation and perpetual implementation. improvement while protecting what makes Canadian football special. In September, the league's new commissioner, Stuart Johnston, announced a series of changes to take place in the next two years, including shortening the field in end zones, moving the goalposts to the back of the end zone,

and eliminating one of the quirkiest rules in the CFL, known as the Rouge. A single point awarded when the ball is kicked wide of the goalposts and goes out the back of the end zone. Some fans and players worried that changes are too much like the NFL. Friday, Johnston said he is committed to the Canadian version of the game. Three downs, 12 players, unlimited motion, 65 yards wide, and huge end zone. Meanwhile, the Great Cup is sold out. Winnipeg already buzzing with passionate fans.
