The World This Hour for 2025/11/16 at 06:00 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.

We begin with breaking news of a critical civil emergency and dangerous persons alert issued by Alberta RCMP for communities in the northern part of the province. Three armed suspects were reported to be shooting at people

near the Peerless Trout First Nation area last night. RCMP confirmed the suspect stole several firearms at around 12.30 p.m. local time. near Red Earth Creek. They were later located north of Peerless Lake First Nation and fled on foot into the woods, reportedly still carrying the stolen firearms. The alert remains in effect for Peerless First Trout Nation and surrounding areas. British Columbia New Democrats have endorsed Premier David Eby's leadership at this weekend's party convention in Victoria and said the party needs to stay on course. At this perilous moment in our history, with authorities,

libertarianism 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. E.B. referenced international instability. 83% of delegates voted against reviewing E.B.'s leadership. voters in Chile go to the polls today to elect members of Congress and a new president. Crime and immigration are the issues driving the campaigns. And as journalist Marie Armel LaFourri reports from Santiago, it appears to be a stark left-right showdown. This voter says Jeanette Harrah is his choice for president. Harra is a communist candidate representing a coalition on the left.

Her main rivals are not one but two populist candidates on the far red. 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 for an investment in the country and is expected to weigh heavily on voters' minds. Marie Armel Laforye 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 a rare glimpse into a period of Great Lake shipbuilding historians know surprisingly little about. Colin Butler reports. 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 windlass 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.
