The World This Hour for 2025/11/16 at 02:00 EST

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.

Nearly 83% of delegates signaled their approval by not asking for a leadership review. E.B. highlighted several resource projects at the party's weekend convention. Those initiatives announced by the federal government include the North Coast transmission line.

Eby calling it one of the most transformational opportunities. for the province. In Brazil, the UN Climate Conference, COP 30, has reached its midpoint. Government officials from around the world are negotiating a new agreement, but as our climate correspondent, Susan Ormiston tells us, it's not clear what that deal will look like. There isn't one big communique expected as in past years. What's called climate finance is a very big issue, especially for smaller countries like the Maldives who are very vulnerable to sea level rise. Here's Tibia and Ibrahim with the Alliance of Small Island States. That means that we have to redirect funds from our domestic budget,

things that could have been spent, money that could have been spent on education, on social services that now have to go to seawalls to freshwater solutions. So this cop is wrangling with that, also with a pledge made two years ago, on how to transition away from oil and gas. But that is a very thorny diplomatic tangle, and it's not clear what it's. if anything will be agreed to here. Susan Ormiston, CBC News, Belen, Brazil. In Montreal, the city's transit authority and the union representing bus and metro drivers have reached a tentative agreement. That means a two-day strike planned for this weekend won't happen.

But as Shui Lee tells us, that's not the only labor problem the transit system is facing. The union says it came to an agreement in principle with the Montreal Public Transit Agency at around 7 p.m. after seven days of intensive negotiations. The union for Biden, and Metro drivers had planned a strike this weekend, which would have meant no service at all for two days, just like during its first strike, November 1st. The Labor Tribunal had ruled both times that the work stoppage would not affect public health or safety. Now, the next step is for the STM's board of directors and the union's members to ratify the new labor contract. Neither party will comment before the details are presented at their respective meetings. The union had been asking

for better schedules and the end of unpaid work. The STM says the agreement in principle respects the established financial framework. It also says mediation with the union representing maintenance workers continues. That union had already gone on strike in June and again in September. Shui Li, CBC News, Montreal. Nova Scotia's chief medical examiner has released two reports into the deaths of people in the province's care. One list deals with the death of a child at a public pool. The other looks at a death of a person in custody. But critics point out the reports don't actually explain what led to The deaths. Haley Ryan has more. The provincial committees reviewing deaths in correctional

facilities and of children in care released their first individual reports Friday. Dr. Matthew Bowes is Nova Scotia's chief medical examiner. That's the intent to take tragedy, make lessons out of it. The custody reports, non-binding recommendations, include health care standards for inmates and properly sharing medical records. The child's report says they died in the water and there should be regulations for public pools, but neither include details about the victims or what led to their deaths due to privacy concerns. Alex Stratford, executive director for the Nova Scotia College of Social Workers, says that must change. How can we reasonably do that if we don't have all of the information to be able to determine if the recommendations follow the evidence?

Stratford says there are many examples of reviews that maintain confidentiality while sharing information in a respectful way. Haley Ryan, CBC News. effects.
