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.

They're hoping to see the big game between the Saskatchewan Rough Riders and Montreal Alouettes in Winnipeg. Saskatchewan is looking to win its first Grey Cup since 2013.

Riders fan Dan Petroski wants to see his team win the CFL's biggest prize on the home turf of the rival Winnipeg Blue Bomber. We wanted to come here for the Grey Cup in Winnipeg, and we will win in their town. Matteson Walker hopes his team will win the Grey Cup for the second time in three years. You know, the CFL writers, I think they all picked Saskatchewan to win. Just like two years ago, they all picked Winnipeg to win and the out's pulled through. Manitoba, the host province, is also hoping to cash in on the festivities. Great Cup Week is estimated to bring in $90 million. Gavin Axelrod, CBC News, Winnipeg.

Alberta, RCMP, has issued a critical civil emergency and dangerous persons alert for communities in the northern part of the province. in the Peerless Trout First Nation and surrounding areas are ordered to shelter immediately, lock all doors and windows, and call 911 for any suspicious activity. The warnings come after three armed suspects were reported to be shooting at people

near the Peerless Trout First Nation area last night. Our CMP confirmed the suspects stole several firearms at around 1230 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 political battle over the federal budget is coming to a head. With a confidence vote set for tomorrow in the House of Commons, opposition MPs have spent the weekend mulling whether to bring down the Carney government

and trigger a snap election. The CBC's chief political correspondent, Rosemary Barton, reports. The possibility of an election is real, but I would say the likelihood is small. There is no party that wants an election right now, but mistakes can happen. The government's only two votes short for the budget to pass, this after a conservative cross the floor to join the liberal caucus. So those two votes could come from two MPs who choose to support the budget. They could come from two MPs who abstain from the vote entirely.

The conservatives and the bloc-Khebequois say they will vote against the budget. So the most likely options here for cooperation will come either from the NDP and its seven MPs. or from Green Party leader Elizabeth May. You know, the real vulnerability in selling the budget, the plan to Canadians, is convincing them that this is the right response for the moment we're in, and particularly that that deficit of $78 billion is worth what the government deems necessary investment to reshape the Canadian economy, respond to the tariffs put in place by Donald Trump. Rosemary Barton, CBC News, Ottawa.

And you can get much more on this on Rosemary Barton live, airing today at 10 a.m. Eastern on CBC News Network and 11 a.m. on CBC television. British Columbia's new Democrats have endorsed Premier David Eby's leadership at this weekend's party convention in Victoria, where Eby referenced international instability and said the party needs to stay the course. 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 Eby's leadership. That's down from 93% two years ago. And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fagg. Thank you.
