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.

The game took place in Winnipeg in front of a sold-out crowd, and the Prime Minister was in attendance watching with the fans as the Saskatchewan Rough Riders defeated the Montreal Alouettes 2517. Rough Riders' quarterback Trevor Harris won most valuable player. The Carney Liberals face a crucial test on Monday. That's when MPs will vote on the government's proposed budget. And because the liberals have a minority government, it's not clear if they'll be able to get enough votes and avoid a snap winter election. JP Tasker has more. We're also going to throw a few long balls.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is out west selling his budget and taking in this year's Great Cup with Manitoba Premier Wob Canoe. On Monday, the ball will be in the opposition's hands. If enough MPs vote against Carney's first budget, Canadians could be headed to the polls. Right now, the Liberals are in the red zone. Just two seats shy of a majority, they don't yet have the support to hold off an election. Mark Arison is the party's whip. He's responsible for wrangling the votes on this confidence motion. I will make sure that all of our votes are there and I leave it up to others to have those

negotiations. Polls suggest most Canadians don't want an election so soon after the last one. Still, the Bluq-Hibiquis say they are a firm no on this budget. And conservative leader Pierre Pauliev says his party can't prop up a document that piles on more debt. J.P. Tasker, CBC News, Ottawa. RCMP in northern Alberta are still looking for three armed suspects who stole a number of guns this weekend. Police say the suspects are armed and dangerous. Sam Sampson has the details. Three people are still on the run after stealing multiple guns from a business on Saturday. It happened near Red Earth Creek, a community more than 400 kilometers north of Edmonton.

RCMP say the group robbed a business, shot at someone, then fled. Police say no one was hurt. Hours later, the RCMP found the suspect's vehicle north of Peerless Trout First Nation, which is about 65 kilometers away. The suspects ran into the woods. RCMP ordered a shelter in place for nearby residents. They searched for hours, even called in extra resources, but determined early this morning the suspects were no longer in the area.

Since then, the shelter in place has been lifted, but police are still looking for the suspects. RCMP have not offered a physical description of the three people, only saying they're armed and dangerous, and if anyone sees anything suspicious, call 911. Sam Sapson, CBC News, Edmonton. According to multiple reports, US civil rights leader Reverend Jesse Jackson is in hospital

and receiving a form of life support. Jackson is under observation for progressive super nuclear palsy, a condition that he's had for more than a decade. The 84-year-old has been a leader of the civil rights movement, since the 1960s. He fought for the rights of black Americans and other minorities, alongside his mentor, Martin Luther King Jr. Jackson was present when King was assassinated in 1968. Donald Trump is attacking one of his closest Republican allies, outspoken Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green, and Green says she's being targeted because

she wants the Epstein files released. Katie Simpson has more from Washington. His remarks, of course, have been hurtful. Marjorie Taylor Green, the Republican Congresswoman from Georgia is pleading with Donald Trump to stop his attacks, saying his words put her life in danger. On social media, the president called her a traitor and a ranting lunatic. Insults hurled her way, she says, because she wants the Epstein files released. Unfortunately, it has all come down to the Epstein files, and that is shocking. Green had been one of Trump's most loyal and vocal supporters, once a conspiracy theorist, known for using incendiary rhetoric.

But now that Greens on the receiving end of the vitriol, she's vowing to change her ways. I would like to say humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics. It's very bad for our country. Katie Simpson, CBC News, Washington. And that is the world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Neil Kumar.

Thank you.
