Nexium may be one of the most infamous cults in modern times. The sex cult where women in a secret group had their leaders' initials branded into their skin. But when it fell apart, former members lined up to tell their stories. But there was one famous member we heard nothing from. Former TV star Alison Mack. Until now. This week on Crime Story, Allison after Nexium. Find Crime Story wherever you get your podcasts.

From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Gina Louise Phillips. The battle over the federal budget will be decided tomorrow, when it will be put to a vote in the House of Commons. And with only a minority government, the liberals will need some help from the opposition. If the budget fails, Canadians could face another election. Philip Lee-Shanock has more. And I don't think I was elected to fail to show up. Green Party leader Elizabeth May says she won't be abstaining from Monday's budget. vote, but that vote is still up for grabs. I'm still talking to ministers and representatives

from the prime minister's office and others, because right now I'm a no. She says the climate protection measures in the budget are just not enough. We have all of our votes that will be present in the House of Commons, but the reality of the situation is, is that this is a minority parliament. Liberal Party whip MP Mark Gerritsen says whether the budget will pass or not is up in the air. If it falls, so does the government. We also don't think that Canadians want a Christmas election, but we will certainly be prepared. We are always ready to go. It may come down to the votes of seven NDP MPs who could vote for it or abstain. NDP leader Don Davies says discussions with the federal liberals continue this weekend.

Philip Lyshanock, CBC News, Toronto. The public feud between Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Green is growing more heated. Once staunch allies, the president and the congresswoman have followed. and out over his handling of the Epstein files and other issues. On his social media, Trump calls her wacky, a ranting lunatic, and a disgrace to the Republican Party. The former Trump loyalist says the U.S. president's online attacks are putting her at risk. The most hurtful thing he said, which is absolutely untrue, is he called me a traitor. And that is so extremely wrong. and those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger.

Taylor Green says she's been contacted by private security firms with warnings about her safety. To Israel. Construction workers continue laying cement along a wall separating Israel from southern Lebanon. Lebanese officials say the new divide violates a U.N. mapped. borderline. And on Friday, a U.N. spokesperson echoed that claim, saying the wall cuts off Lebanese territory. Israel has denied that the wall crossed the boundary. In the Philippines, protesters chanted that slogan denouncing government corruption, led by a powerful religious group, thousands gathered in Manila to demand accountability. Politicians, lawmakers,

and construction executives have been accused of enriching themselves through mismanaged flood control projects. Two typhoons hit the country earlier this month, causing flooding that left dozens dead and hundreds of thousands homeless. The CFL's biggest event is officially underway in Winnipeg. The Montreal Alouettes are taking on the Saskatchewan Rough Riders in the Grey Cup, and Jay Turnbull is at the stadium. The Great Cup always attracts CFL fans from across the country,

ready for a party. And this, the 112th edition, is no different. I've seen a lot of green and white Rough Rider jerseys this week, a ton of Blue Bomber jerseys, but even fans from BC, Edmonton, Toronto, and of course Montreal. Saskatchewan had the best record in the league this season. Deloettes did not finish first in the east, but ended up knocking off both the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Hamilton Tiger Cats to get to the championship game. The success of the Yellowettes rides in the health of their quarterback. Davis Alexander has been nursing a hamstring injury, but he's been insisting all week that he's healthy and ready to go. Deloette's last won the Grey Cup just two years ago.

For Saskatchewan, it's been a little bit longer. It was back in 2013. Jay Turnbull, CBC News, Winnipeg. And Prime Minister Mark Carney is attending the game. We'll keep watching the score. And that is The World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Gina Louise Phillips. Thanks for listening.

Thank you.
