The World This Hour for 2025/12/02 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.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has addressed the Assembly of First Nations chiefs gathered in Ottawa, reiterating his commitment to consulting indigenous peoples in making decisions about projects that are deemed in the national interest. Carney's remarks come as the federal government works with Alberta to pursue the possibility of a new pipeline through BC, a possibility that has some chiefs concerned.

David Thurton reports. Let's see. Thank you for allowing us to be here. Mr. Carney. Terry T.G. is the regional chief for British Columbia. He told the Prime Minister, the Assembly of First Nations passed a unanimous motion upholding the oil tanker ban on B.C.'s North Coast. To affirm the North Coast Declaration and rejection of any proposed pipeline to B.C.'s coast today. Thank you. The BC Chief called for a meeting with the Prime Minister, which Mark Carney said is in the works. The process of having that meeting has already begun.

The request has already been made by my office. The Prime Minister said he recognizes First Nation leaders have a broad range of issues that they want addressed. He announced another joint meeting early in the new year with premiers and First Nation leaders, where they get to set the agenda. David Thornton, CBC News, Ottawa. Alberta has unveiled its plan to fight Ottawa's firearms buyback program.

An order paper filed by the province's Justice Minister says Alberta will use all legal means possible to push back against implementation. That includes refusing to provide prosecution and policing resources to enforce the federal laws. The Alberta government says Ottawa's gun policies are unconstitutional and infringe on the rights of law-abiding Albertans. Quebec is the latest province to try and tackle sky-high resale ticket prices for sport and entertainment events. A new bill calls on greater transparency from websites to ensure where clients know what they're buying. Sarah Levitt has details.

Consumer Protection Minister Simon Jean-Lain Barrett says resale ticket sites are getting out of hand. The new law will put the onus on resale sites to make it clear they're selling the tickets at a higher price and they must post the original price. The government was prompted to take action following a tribute concert to the late frontmen of the group Le Cowboy Fringen.

The group. opted to hold a public event for free at the Bell Center. Tickets were snagged, with some being resold for upwards of $500. Sarah Eve Lavek is with Option Consumateur, a consumer advocacy group. What we've seen is that sometimes consumers will buy tickets on a resale site and not know they're on a resale site. The Quebec bill won't go as far as the United Kingdom, though, where reselling tickets will be banned outright unless sold at face value.

Sarah Levitt's CBC News. Edmonton Police Service says it'll run a test project that involves using artificial intelligence in officers' body cameras. The goal is to improve facial recognition and help officers in the field. Erin Collins has more. There we go. So we can see that the mugshot photo of Anli here is on the left. Edmonton Police Superintendent Kurt Martin demoing a new way to ID lawbreakers. The idea, simple enough.

A police officer in the field would be able to engage their body. camera to get more information about the person in front of them. The image would be analyzed by AI, searching a limited database of people wanted for a violent crime in the city. If the subject is flagged, the officer in the field would be alerted. For now, this is all just hypothetical, a test of the cameras and software. But Martin says that could change. In a future phase, the idea would be obviously to do this in near real time and make sure

that our officers are aware of any potential dangers that exist to them. Edmonton's pilot project will also have a human officer checking the results of the AI. The forces test run starts Wednesday and will last about a month. Erin Collins, CBC News, Calgary. And that is the world this hour. You can listen to our podcast anytime.
