The World This Hour for 2025/11/27 at 19:00 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.

Donate at lovescarbro.cairbo. from cbic news the world this hour i'm kate mcgilfrey alberta and ottawa have signed a sweeping new deal centered on the creation of an oil pipeline to the west coast today prime minister mark carney and premier daniel smith agreed on a memorandum of understanding offering federal political support for the privately funded project and special environmental exemptions it's the first step i think of what will be a few more steps we have to take together, but I'm very pleased that the Prime Minister has heard our concerns and responded to them. Thank you very, well, thank you very much, Premier, and look, it's a great day for Alberta. It's a great day for Canada. There's already strong pushback against this plan.

The Minister of Canadian Identity and former Environment Minister Stephen Gilbo is leaving his cabinet post, though he will stay on as a Liberal MP. Gilbo says he strongly opposes the MOU, which he says moves the country away from its greenhouse gas reduction targets. Meanwhile, in British Columbia, the agreement isn't sitting well with Indigenous leaders or the BC Premier. Tanya Fletcher reports. They've taken a major step back, in my opinion, in terms of the relationship with First Nations. Maureen Nice, elected chief counselor of the Heisla Nation, says she's deeply disappointed. She says the deal signed by Ottawa and Alberta does not include specific language around First Nations approval.

It makes no reference in the MOU to the need for indigenous consent for the pipeline to go ahead. and that is completely unacceptable. And the agreement is silent on those issues. Premier David Eby says there is no mention of a veto for either BC or First Nations, but says he's hopeful they can find a way forward together. Let's talk about refining capacity. Let's talk about the existing TMX pipeline and what we can do together on that. Let's talk about electrical interties.

Eby says the first step needs to be a meeting between Kearney and coastal First Nations, but acknowledges that ultimately Ottawa could simply impose a pipeline on B.B. Tanya Fletcher, CBC News, Vancouver. The U.S. President says one of the National Guard members shot yesterday in Washington, D.C., has died. Sarah Bextram of West Virginia, magnificent person, outstanding in every way. She's just passed away. She was savagely attacked. She's dead. Donald Trump says the other victim is fighting for his life in hospital.

An Afghan national, Ramanula Lacanwal, is accused of attacking them. Lacanwal had previously worked alongside U.S. intelligence during the Afghanistan war. He entered the U.S. under a program for Afghans in 2021, who assisted American troops. Authorities say the motive isn't yet clear. Guinea-Bissau now has a military government. Soldiers named a junta leader today after arresting the president and seizing power in an apparent coup. Army officials claim the measure was needed to stop an election-rigging plot that would destabilize the country. And the Quebec provincial government has tabled a bill that would limit preying in public

and expand the ban on public servants wearing religious symbols. Religious and civil liberty groups are calling it an attack on minorities. Alison Northcott has the details. The Quebec government tabled Bill 9 in the National Assembly this morning, saying it will reinforce religious neutrality in Quebec. We are simply moving forward slowly. Jean-François-Roberge is. Quebec's minister responsible for secularism.

Because we think that when the state is neutral, Quebecers are free. The bill expands on previous legislation, which banned some public sector workers from wearing religious symbols. That rule now applies to any newly hired public daycare workers, too. Those already employed are exempt. Maria English, who runs five daycares, is worried about the impact on staffing. A religious symbol is not determined how you will be with the children. So it will take away some very nurturing educators. The bill will also ban prayer rooms at colleges and universities and forbid religious practices in public spaces like parks

unless municipal permission is granted. Alison Northcott, CBC News, Montreal. And that is the world this hour. Remember, you can listen to us wherever you get your podcasts. We update every hour, seven days a week. Or for news anytime, go to our website. For CBC News, I'm Kate McGilvery. Thank you.
