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.

At this perilous moment in our history, with authoritarianism on the rise, people struggling with affordability, with unmatched levels of global economic instability, and with Donald Trump attacking our economy and our sovereignty, our cause, our dream, our vision is more important today than at any point in BC's past. 83% of delegates voted against reviewing EB's leadership. That's down from 93 two years ago. Delegates also called on Ottawa to maintain the ban on tankers off BC's North Coast. Also,

Crime and immigration are the issues driving the campaigns, and as journalist Marie Amelafri reports from Santiago, it appears to be a stark left-right showdown. This voter says Jeanette Hara is his choice for president. Hara is a communist candidate representing a coalition on the left. Her main rivals are not one, but two populist candidates on the far right.

In this battle between extremes, the main issues are the same. There seems to be a consensus that crime and immigration are a challenge that needs to be dealt with. Robert Funk teaches political science at the University of Chile. He says voters and candidates have linked the rise in illegal immigration to the rise in violent crime. The country's obsession with crime is in part more perception than reality, according to Funk. The types of crime are what have changed dramatically. We are now much more exposed to drug gangs. While international drug gangs and organized crime have gained a foothold in Chile, statistics show the overall crime rate is down, but that perception

is slowing foreign investment in the country and is expected to weigh heavily on voters' minds. Marie Armel Laforay, for CBC News, Santiago. A dive team searching for the century-old wreck of the Rapid City may have found something far more extraordinary in the deep waters of Lake Ontario. A pristine shipwreck that could be decades older may offer rare gramps into the period of Great Lake's shipbuilding historians know surprisingly little about. Colin Butler with that story.

The mystery began in 2017 when a fiber-optic cable survey between Buffalo and Toronto spotted an unusually large object. That caught the attention of Trent University Professor James Connolly. He thought it might be the Rapid City. A two-masted schooner built in 1884 and lost in 1917. But Connolly says the images told a different story. This is different than what we thought it was. This is something else. Rope rigging, an early non-patent windless design, both masks still standing top masts intact. All hints this vessel could predate the rapid city by decades. A rare link to a period of shipbuilding where

technology changed rapidly and record-keeping was poor. For now, it rests in silence near Toronto, a rare time capsule just waiting to tell its story. Colin Butler, CBC News, London, Ontario.
