Kids these days, people say we have so much more. Smartphones, video games, treats, and busy schedules. But more isn't always better. Because kids these days, we also have more health challenges than ever before. More mental health issues. More need for life-saving surgeries. And more complex needs. Chio has a plan to transform pediatric care for kids like me.

and his minority liberal government. The bloc-Khebecois put forward an amendment calling on the House to reject the budget. And if it passes, it could trigger an election. But the liberals aren't the only party feeling the heat. Yesterday, a second conservative MP announced he is leaving the caucus. Janice McGregor is here from our Parliamentary Bureau. Janice Edmonton MP, Matt Jennerut, says he is leaving politics, but his resignation was unusual.

Walk us through it. John, I can't recall another resignation that was announced and then had to be clarified with a second statement. Generu's first letter did not say when he was stepping down. Then shortly after, opposition leader Pierre Pollyev said on social media, that it wouldn't be until spring. And in the meantime, he's still a conservative. But then later in the evening, a second statement was sent directly to the media

by the opposition leader's office, denying that there was any coercion involved after reports that he'd met with the prime minister and saying that Jean-Aruh wished Polyev the best. CBC News obtained talking points that were sent to conservative MPs, telling them to say that a fake floor-crossing rumor had expedited what was apparently a long-standing decision by the MP to eventually move to Victoria with his family.

But if this was a long-standing intention, why did he re-offer in the election that was just six months ago? Only about half of the Conservative caucus turned up to vote in person for their own budget motion last night. And when they emerged, reporters were waiting. Were people who think the party harassing him in recent days? Not to my knowledge. I haven't spoken with Matt. but, you know, he's a good guy. And do you still have full confidence in your leader? I have full confidence in the leader,

and we have full confidence that we're going to oppose this inflationary budget. Janice, there's another really important budget vote today, but Pierre Pollyev isn't expected to be in the House of Commons. Yeah, so many questions here. Starting with how Jenneru's going to vote for the next few months on confidence motions. He was one of four conservatives for whom no vote was recorded yesterday. Raising questions about how the headcount's going to go, when MPs vote again today on another opposition amendment.

If more dramas afoot, neither leader is going to be in town to manage it in person because both Mark Carney and Pierre Pollyev have noon-hour speeches scheduled in Toronto. Janice McGregor in Ottawa, thanks for this, Janice. You're welcome. For the second month in a row, the Canadian economy added thousands of jobs. This is Canada released its October labor market report this morning, showing an increase of 67,000 far exceeding expectations and pushing the unemployment rate down to 6.9% from 7.1 in September.

CBC's senior business correspondent, Peter Armstrong, has more. We were warned these numbers can be volatile, and boy, did they deliver. This is way higher than anyone expected and adds another month to a season of pretty wild swings. Remember, we added 83,000 jobs in June, then lost 105,000. thousand jobs in July and August. September saw that rebound of 60,000 jobs and now October added 67,000 jobs. So a lot of swings there, but these gains do pick up on the momentum from September. 73,000 private sector jobs were added. Big gains in the area's hardest hit by the trade war. Wholesale trade is up. Transportation and warehousing is up. The

increases were led by Ontario, the city of Windsor, which had seen the unemployment rate rise to 11% clawed at least some of that back to 9.6%. The question, of course, is whether this is just another blip or perhaps a real sign of some stabilization in the Canadian economy. We'll need more data to say yes or no to that one way or the other. Peter Armstrong, CBC News, Toronto. Overnight, in Interior BC, shots echoed across universal ostrich farms. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says it is moving ahead

with the cull of roughly 300 ostriches there. In the past 10 months, the farm's owners have been arguing against it, taking their case all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. But yesterday, the top court declined to hear their appeal. Yasmin Renea has the latest. CBC News heard multiple rounds of shots fired at universal ostrich farms shortly after nightfall Thursday. The shots came from inside an enclosure made of straw bales

where the Canadian Food Inspection Agency heard its scores of ostriches earlier in the day. Puppets, Puppets. CIFIA puppets. Around the same time, supporters of the farm were heckling RCMP officers who are securing the area. Many of you are they sending in?

That's a lot of soldiers here. There has been a huge police presence at the farm since the Supreme Court of Canada decided to not hear the farm's appeal ending a month's long legal battle. Katie Pasitney's mother co-owns the farm. She's going to lose everything she's ever loved for 35 years. The ostriches were ordered culled in December following an avian flu outbreak that killed about 70 birds.

In the past year, their case has garnered an international spotlight. U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lobbied the CFIA not to go ahead with the call. The CFIA says the call is necessary to prevent further spread of the disease. but the farmers insist the surviving flock developed antibodies and could have been used for research. Their mission now, they say, is to hold the CFIA accountable for what they describe as an operation full of unjust actions. They say they will push for policy changes

so that other farmers don't suffer the same fate. Yasm Ghanaya, CBC News, Vernon, B.C. Vietnam is cleaning up after being hit by Typhoon Kalmagi. The powerful storm down power lines uprooted trees and ripped the roofs off of houses in central Vietnam. Five people were reported to have been killed. More than half a million others have been forced from their homes. Earlier, almost 200 people died as Kalmagi tore across the Philippines. The typhoon now headed for Cambodia.

Kalmagi is one of the deadliest storms to hit the region this year. Donald Trump is optimistic his Gaza peace plan is moving in. ahead with efforts to deploy a multinational force to the territory. Very soon. It's going to be very soon. And Gaza's working out very well. The UN Security Council is considering a U.S. resolution on how to deploy the so-called stability force. Meanwhile, humanitarian groups say the first phase of the ceasefire is incomplete. It calls for unrestricted aid to flow into Gaza. The group says that's not happening fast enough. Crystal Gamansing reports from Jerusalem.

Palestinians call out to grab the attention of soup kitchen workers in Han Yunus while holding out their empty pots. The hope was that the ceasefire would have put a stop to scenes like this. When there is real cooperation to the Israeli authorities, the international community, United Nations, it is possible to get aid at scale into the Gaza Strip. But the situation there remains absolutely horrific. Roland Friedrich is with UNRWA. Israel banned the agency from operating within its territory and the areas under its control.

It claims Onra has been infiltrated by Hamas. Friedrich says the ban means his agency can't move any of the 5,000 trucks it has loaded with aid. Tens, food, flour, things that are badly needed. Friedrich isn't the only one calling on Israel to lift restrictions so more help can get to those in need. Abir Atifa is the senior spokesperson for the World Food Program. crossings to be open, especially those in the north. Full access to key roads across Gaza is also

critical. 600 trucks were to be allowed in daily as a part of the peace deal. Itifa says currently only a third or a quarter of the expected supplies are entering Gaza. Kogat, the Israeli aid coordination group, says hundreds of trucks are entering Gaza daily but did not provide CBC with specific numbers. CBC News, Jerusalem. And finally. Welcome to spring, the summer rain, softly turned to sing a game. You're listening to the sounds of Canadian composer and singer Beverly Glenn Copeland.

He was honored last night, the second annual Pink Awards in Toronto, winning the Legacy Award. British superstar Sam Smith presented the honor calling Glenn Copeland, quote, a true statesman of the queer community. The ceremony run by Pink Triangle Press recognized six 2S-LGBQ Plus figures with a special focus this year on uplifting transgendered voices following recent political challenges. The award also raised thousands of dollars for community groups chosen by the honorees. Welcome to spring, the summering.

And that is the latest national and international news from World Report. I'm John Northcott. This is CBC News.
