The World This Hour for 2025/11/27 at 21:00 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 cbc news the world this hour i'm mike miles 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 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. If a plan's already getting strong pushback, Canadian identity minister and former environment minister, Stephen Gilbo, is quitting cabinet, though he'll stay on as a liberal MP. Gilbo says he strongly opposes the MOU, arguing it moves the country away from its greenhouse gas reduction targets. Meanwhile, in British Columbia, the agreement it isn't sitting well with indigenous leaders or the Premier. Tenure 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 B.C. 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.C. Tanja Fletcher, CBC News, Vancouver. U.S. President Donald Trump says one of the National Guard members shot yesterday in Washington is dead. Sarah Bextram of West Virginia, magnificent person, outstanding in every way, she's just passed away.

She was savagely attacked. She's dead. Trump says the other victim is fighting for his life in hospital. An Afghan National Ramanula, Lackenwal, is accused of attacking them. Lackenwall had previously worked alongside U.S. intelligence during the Afghanistan War. He entered the U.S. under a program for Afghans, who assisted American troops. Authorities say the motive isn't yet clear. Guinea-Bissau now has a military government. Soldiers name 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. The coup is the ninth in West and Central Africa in the last five years. Quebec's government wants to expand its secularism laws and further limit religious symbols in public institutions. Prayer rooms, halal, and kosher meals could be banned. The province says it's meant to ensure equality. Religious groups argue the opposite is happening. Alison Northcott reports. We're simply moving forward.

Jean-François-Roberge is the minister responsible for secularism. think that when the state is neutral, Quebecers are free. The bill expands on previous legislation, which bans some public sector workers from wearing religious symbols at work. That rule would apply to any new public daycare workers if the bill passes.

Those already employed are exempt. Maria English runs five daycares, several of her employees wear hijabs. She worries about being able to hire enough workers under the proposed law. A religious symbol is not determined how you will be with the children, and so it will take away some very nurturing educators.

The bill will also forbid religious practices in public spaces like parks unless municipal permission is granted. And public institutions offering food based in religious tradition like halal or kosher meals would have to ensure they have other options too. Allison Northcott, CBC News, Montreal.
