  1. 20 HR AGO

    Remembrance Day, climate conference, free transit, and more

    It was an emotional day on Parliament Hill as people gathered for Remembrance Day services. Young and old remembered Canada’s war veterans. This year's Silver Cross mother highlighted mental health and PTSD. And: The shadow of Donald Trump has cast a cloud over the world climate conference, COP29. It opened today in Azerbaijan with deep concern that once he is president, Trump will undo whatever climate commitments the U.S. agrees to at the summit. Some wonder if that prospect will cause other countries to rein in their own ambitions as well. Also: Free transit, anyone? Orangeville, Ontario sees ridership more than double after it scraps fares – an idea with growing support, though unlikely to catch on in bigger cities. Plus: Israel talks annexation of West Bank settlements, dockworkers in Montreal locked out, and Donald Trump starts filling positions in his administration.

    Murray Sinclair's memorial, Trump's inner circle, involuntary drug treatment and more

    Murray Sinclair was honoured today in a national ceremony in Winnipeg. We'll take you to today's memorial and those paying tribute. Also: U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is narrowing down who will join his inner circle, ruling out some of his most prominent critics as he prepares for his return to the White House. And: Opioid overdoses kill thousands of Canadians each year. That is leading some politicians and experts to push a new and controversial approach to addiction -- forcing people into treatment. Plus: The first suspected human case of bird flu in Canada, misinformation spreading in Spain, Dene men taking up sewing and more.

    Canada's commitment to Ukraine, Pakistan bomb attack, the Taylor Swift effect and more

    A shadow of uncertainty looms of Ukraine's war effort, now that Donald Trump will be the next U.S. president. Trump has repeatedly questioned how much his country spends on foreign wars -- especially in Ukraine. But Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland says Ukraine can still count on Canada.  Also: At least 25 people are dead and more than 60 others wounded after a bomb attack at a busy train station in Pakistan. A separatist militant group is claiming responsibility for the attack - escalating a decades-long insurgency there.  And: Taylor Swift's Eras Tour will be coming to a close, after her upcoming stops in Canada. We'll talk about how Swift has reshaped the music industry, and paved the way for a new generation.  Plus: New reports on famine in Gaza, Canada's arctic foreign policy, Manitoba removes math education requirements, and more.

    Antisemitic violence, racist text messages, rent drop and more

    The Prime Minister of the Netherlands says attacks on Israeli soccer fans are a sign of increasing antisemitism in the country. Videos show riot police intervening in street clashes, with some attackers targeting Jews. That kind of targeted violence is stoking fears among Jews here in Canada. They say it’s a reminder that they aren’t safe.  And: Authorities in the U.S. search for the people behind racist texts targeting Black Americans. The messages, referencing ‘plantations’ and ‘slave catchers’ were sent amid increased tensions following Donald Trump’s election win. And they may have a Canadian connection.  Also: Average rent prices across Canada declined for the first time since 2021, but only in big cities, reflecting a spike in demand as Canadians search for more affordable housing in less expensive markets. Plus: New details about an alleged Russian sabotage plot to place explosives on planes bound for Canada, the FBI tells CBC News it has received tips on the whereabouts of former Olympian turned alleged drug lord Ryan Wedding, Indigenous Veterans Day and more.

    Biden speaks, TikTok offices ordered closed, 2024 hottest year, and more

    U.S. President Joe Biden publicly spoke for the first time since Tuesday’s election. He urged Americans to ‘bring down’ the temperature after weeks of inflamed rhetoric. He promised a peaceful transition to a Donald Trump administration, which is already hard at work planning its next steps. And: The federal government is closing Canada’s TikTok offices, citing concerns over national security. But Canadians can still access the popular app, raising questions about what this move accomplishes and whether more needs to be done to protect users and national security. Also: 2024 is “virtually certain” to be the hottest year ever recorded, according to a new report from the European climate service. And some experts warn things could heat up even more when Donald Trump returns to the White House next year. Plus: Border concerns in the U.S. and Canada, and how a Canadian-made app is helping rescue the stories of veterans, before their legacies fade.

    Donald Trump promises seismic change after a historic comeback

    By any measure, it’s a historic comeback: From two impeachments and electoral defeat in 2020, to felony convictions and conspiracy charges, to a decisive victory early this morning. Donald Trump's reelection is the first time in two decades a Republican has won the popular vote. His party is also likely to control both houses of Congress. The results underscore a major re-alignment of the American political landscape. Trump’s ambitious agenda includes ending the war in Ukraine, imposing tariffs on imports, and mass deportations. And that’s just on day one. His election sent the US dollar surging. Canada is already pushing for exemptions from those tariffs, and launching a charm offensive to keep trade relations sweet. People in Ukraine and the Middle East worry how Trump’s ascendancy will affect the wars where they are.
