00:05:36So Europe and Canada have had a strategic partnership,
00:05:38but this would be more expansive and more inclusive
00:05:40than what we've seen in the past. What bite that look like.
00:05:43Let's bring in the former ambassador to the European
00:05:46Union, David Plunkett in Ottawa. He's
00:05:48also the chairman of the Canada and the EU Trade and Investment
00:05:51Association. Thank you so much for making time for us today.
00:05:55My pleasure. First, I want to ask for your opinion
00:05:59on what this Associate membership or a deeper
00:06:02partnership may entail for Canada and the EU.
00:06:06I have, since this thing first came up,
00:06:09I have thought it was an unnecessary distraction to
00:06:12spend a lot of time on this empty label. And I,
00:06:16I think it's far more important that the two sides continue to
00:06:20work on developing the broadest and deepest package of
00:06:24substance that they can get. And at the end,
00:06:27once they've got everything put together, they, they,
00:06:30they figure out what they want to call it. I think it's a
00:06:34trickier issue for the Europeans
00:06:36because of all their relations with members,
00:06:41which is like Norway and Sweden applicants to the EU. So this,
00:06:46this would be a trickier matter for the EU and internally. So
00:06:50I'm not surprised that there's some fussing going on. But I,
00:06:55I do think it's a distraction and that's taking away from a
00:06:59discussion of the actual substance of this historic
00:07:03summit, which can, which can really push issues
00:07:06forward that that will be used to both Canadians and Europeans
00:07:11when we do zero in then on the substance of this summit and what was
00:07:15mentioned in the European Commission President's remarks,
00:07:18but also something that will be discussed during the course of
00:07:21this summit. We heard that there was the suggestion that
00:07:24the EU and Canada built a single space for strategic
00:07:27supply chains and also that there's going to be the
00:07:29finalizing of an agreement as well to bring Canada into
00:07:32Europe's infrastructure for supercomputing. What do you
00:07:35make of some of those potential developments here?
00:07:39I, I think they should push as far
00:07:42as, as they can to develop both
00:07:44here and energy critical minerals, you know,
00:07:48cyber security, you know, AI and whatnot. Because,
00:07:52you know, we have argued in the past that,
00:07:55you know, diversification is, which we've been pursuing in
00:08:00Canada for some years now. It's, it's now not necessarily
00:08:04something that would be nice, but it's,
00:08:07it's actually something that
00:08:10we need, particularly given the current,
00:08:12uh, international environment and
00:08:15what's going on with our friends to the South. And so I
00:08:18think both sides have an interest in,
00:08:21in pushing this forward to pursuing options defined as as
00:08:25broad and deeper relationship as possible. It's going to take
00:08:29a bit of time. I'm hoping there are some early concrete results
00:08:34to be announced, but given the complexity of
00:08:37some of these issues, the number of players involved,
00:08:41some of this is going to take some time. But if they have a
00:08:45road map to move the issues forward to ensure that there's
00:08:48accountability to keep the pressure on to keep moving
00:08:52forward, I think this would be
00:08:53considered a very successful and, and and frankly,
00:08:56historic summit. There certainly is the motivation
00:08:59that is evident from both sides here to deepen that partnership
00:09:03and to develop further in terms of how they rely on one another.
00:09:07You were also heavily involved in SITA, of course, that is
00:09:11in Canada EU trade agreement. It's that comprehensive
00:09:14agreement between the nation of Canada and the EU bloc. I'm
00:09:17wondering though, when we talk about who's on
00:09:20board for that, there are a number of countries
00:09:23that have not ratified that framework. How do you read that
00:09:26when we're now having this summit to deepen ties?
00:09:31Yeah, In an ideal world, we would have a situation where
00:09:35the all the member states would have ratified and we wouldn't
00:09:39have to have this discussion. I think there's now 9 that are
00:09:44outstanding. But in practical terms,
00:09:4698 or something percent of the agreement is operational,
00:09:50has been operational for almost a decade on a provisional basis.
00:09:55If you look at the numbers, the trade and investment are
00:09:59both going up considerably. I heard
00:10:02I've underline earlier today talk about, you know,
00:10:08going up 80% since cedar, you know,
00:10:11so there is a positive
00:10:15framework here even without the ratification issue. Some work
00:10:20we've done in Kusha suggested that the outstanding countries
00:10:24aren't so much fussed about Cedar itself,
00:10:28but there are maybe other issues,
00:10:30domestic issues in each of them that are are holding up any,
00:10:35any ratification process. But as long as the agreement is
00:10:40being used and increasing use, use by business, I,
00:10:44I think that's the most
00:10:46important rather than, you know, focusing on the the outstanding
00:10:50ratifications, which hopefully will come
00:10:52eventually, if if not sooner. You know,
00:10:55we had heard, of course, Canada's Prime Minister speak
00:10:58about the rise of the middle powers. This appears to be,
00:11:01to a certain degree, a bit of a response to that
00:11:04call. How do you believe that is being read globally?
00:11:09Well, I, I think every country probably
00:11:13around the world is having to, to adjust to the new political
00:11:18and economic environment that that we face,
00:11:22given the changes being pursued by the Trump administration.
00:11:27And so I, I think this will be viewed in
00:11:31that light that countries need to take whatever steps are
00:11:35necessary to protect their own interests. And, and
00:11:40we will work with
00:11:42trusted partners, people where we have shared
00:11:46values, in this case with the US or the
00:11:49EU rather, there's a complementarity of
00:11:52their, their needs at this point. And
00:11:54our needs, you know, they, they face the challenges,
00:11:58not just the US, but also China and Russia. We
00:12:02have our own challenges here. And so I,
00:12:04I think this will be viewed by other countries as, as,
00:12:08as a perfectly understandable policy development given what
00:12:13they're all facing today. David, I want to thank you so much for
00:12:16your time and your analysis on this. We appreciate it.
00:12:19Thank you very much. David Plunkett is a former ambassador
00:12:22to the European Union. He joined us today from Ottawa. Thanks again.
00:12:27The number of dead continues to grow in Spain following
00:12:29yesterday's fatal high speed train collision. Police are now
00:12:33confirming 69 deaths, including one person who died
00:12:36in hospital. Police say there is optimism for those who were
00:12:39injured. Of the 110 admitted, 60 have now been discharged but
00:12:4350 remain in hospital. Authorities say those in
00:12:46critical care are showing signs of positive recovery and the
00:12:50work to identify any remaining victims is ongoing. This
00:12:53morning,
00:12:54audio recordings between the drivers of the two trains
00:12:58involved .2 potential human error. One train told to move
00:13:01forward while another was stalled on the same track. Anna
00:13:05Cunningham tracking that for us. Anna
00:13:08David, within a few hours of this
00:13:11trained disaster, Spains transport minister was
00:13:15suggesting that the calls might be a combination of a major
00:13:20computer system failure and catastrophic human error. Now
00:13:25Spain's national newspaper is El Pai and it's obtained a copy
00:13:31of that audio recording. What we hear is the rail controller
00:13:36who's in the capital Madrid
00:13:38talking to the train drivers. We subtitled the translation
00:13:42from Spanish. Take a look
00:13:48100 Your number,
00:13:52your mind,
00:13:54everybody
00:13:58in my
00:14:01but
00:14:03Cortana
00:14:05nothing
00:14:07now that was recorded just in the minutes before 1 train
00:14:11plowed into the back of the other and it does sound quite
00:14:15chaotic conversation. The driver of the train that was
00:14:19stationary is heard saying his train just won't start at David.
00:14:23Let's just take you back to those images from overnight
00:14:27because we see the floodlights have been illuminating the
00:14:31mangled wreckage of those trains. Emergency teams have
00:14:34been using heavy lifting and cutting equipment,
00:14:38we're told as well. Sniffer dogs and thermal drones have
00:14:42been used. There are still missing passengers. Families
00:14:46are being asked to give DNA samples now as they hope to
00:14:50identify their loved ones. David. Now,
00:14:52this is the second major train disaster in just a year in
00:14:56Spain. There is anger, but there is also this morning,
00:15:00morning,
00:15:02Yes, we have seen candle lit vigils
00:15:05taking place and moments of silence being held to remember
00:15:09the victims of this train crash. 3 days of official mourning in
00:15:14Spain now underway. The Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is
00:15:19under increasing pressure. He gave an update earlier. Let's
00:15:23just take a listen to what he said.
00:15:26Total administration, General Estado. Total assisted.
00:15:31There's the piano, municipio de Espana estamos
00:15:36trabajando de noche para victimas
00:15:42astarotte monetary Vista trachea posto.
00:15:47I don't know about
00:15:50now, David, Spain's opposition parties are
00:15:53accusing the Spanish government of playing, they say,
00:15:56Russian roulette with train safety,
00:15:59especially given that this is the second major incident on a
00:16:04on the same line that has claimed lives. But it's worth
00:16:08remembering that all of this is happening just four weeks away
00:16:12from when Spain goes to the polls in a general election. It
00:16:16is quite something. Anna, thank you.
00:16:20That demand for answers into this tragedy has turned angry
00:16:24in Spain.
00:16:31Heated demonstrations outside Spain's transport ministry,
00:16:34where protesters call for Spain's Prime Minister and
00:16:37transport minister to resign. Meanwhile,
00:16:39rail drivers across the country are expected to strike today in
00:16:43what they say is a fight to defend railway safety.
00:16:47Canadians were among those on board the train. Several are
00:16:50injured, another unaccounted for. Linda,
00:16:53with what we know, yeah. I've reached out to
00:16:55Global Affairs Canada this morning to try and get more
00:16:58information. Some update from the last update that we had
00:17:02last night. No response to just yet,
00:17:04but we're continuing to follow up. But a spokesperson for
00:17:07Global Affairs saying in that statement last night that they
00:17:11are aware of seven individuals impacted by the train crash in
00:17:14Spain. 6 Canadians have sustained injuries,
00:17:17the 7th individual currently unaccounted for is there. Our
00:17:20thoughts are with the families and loved ones as well as all
00:17:24those affected rescue workers of course,
00:17:27as Anna mentioned there, continuing to search the
00:17:30wreckage and trying to identify the dead. Global Affairs Canada
00:17:34pointed to some hotlines created for anyone needing
00:17:37assistance. Families looking for answers. Canadian officials
00:17:41are providing consular assistance. They are in contact
00:17:44with local authorities as well there in the hopes of
00:17:47gathering
00:17:49more information about the extent of Canadians involvement
00:17:52in this incident. But Transport Minister Stephen McKinnon said
00:17:56on social media that he had reached out to his Spanish
00:17:59counterpart just to express solidarity at this time,
00:18:02saying I also thank the emergency responders and
00:18:05medical teams working around the clock to help those
00:18:09impacted by this tragedy. As I say,
00:18:11we'll continue to follow up global affairs to understand
00:18:15the extent of Canadians involved in this. All right, Linda,
00:18:19thank you very much.
00:20:22These terrible machines. Donald Trump's false claims about
00:20:25voting machines are at the heart of his efforts to rewrite
00:20:28election rules ahead of the midterms. Our machines and
00:20:31ballot counting systems are exposed to hacking and
00:20:34manipulation and corruption. His claims have energized
00:20:37supporters and positions of power. Are you an election
00:20:40denier? My election denier? Well,
00:20:42we're presupposing we have elections right now. What?
00:20:45He said, Some close to the president are
00:20:48pushing him to go even further. We need a national emergency
00:20:51because of it. If not, we're gonna lose our country.
00:20:55But the midterms just days away. It's not just the results that
00:20:58are uncertain. It's whether the president will accept them at
00:21:01all. We don't want cheating in the midterms,
00:21:05which makes the routine tasks of local clerks like Elizabeth
00:21:09Busk so important. Coming around this one upside down,
00:21:12just to make sure it works. What exactly,
00:21:14ask is the clerk in Woodland Township,
00:21:16a small farming community two hours West of Detroit?
00:21:20Local clerks like her run most elections in the US. Their work
00:21:24will be under a microscope this November 3rd.
00:21:28Even small errors could be used to upend American democracy.
00:21:32Overwrote. And so tonight in woodland,
00:21:35like they do before every election,
00:21:37a public test of the vote counting machine. I think
00:21:41there's still a lot of hurting people and mistrust with the
00:21:45the system. We will be as transparent as we possibly can
00:21:49to help people understand our system and know that what we
00:21:53are doing, we have nothing to hide
00:21:57this. Watch as she feeds the voting machine a series of test
00:22:00ballots to make sure it's counting accurately. How many
00:22:04voting machines does the Township have?
00:22:06We only have one that is active for the election. The goal of
00:22:10the test, says Busk, is for voters in Woodland to be
00:22:13able to trust the midterm results in spite of the
00:22:16conspiracies circulating about the process. I had so many
00:22:19people asking me if my tabulator is on the Internet,
00:22:23how do you know it's not on the Internet? And
00:22:26because there's no wires going to the Internet and it's not
00:22:30new enough to be Wi-Fi viable. One of those people who has
00:22:33taken a keen interest in the woodland tabulator,
00:22:36the County Sheriff, Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf
00:22:39has spent the last several years trying to prove voter
00:22:43fraud in our state. West Michigan Sheriff is continuing
00:22:46its investigation into fraud in the 2020 election. Sheriff Leaf
00:22:50has claimed Serbian foreign nationals remotely access
00:22:53voting machines in his county.
00:22:55The sheriff didn't return our calls for an interview,
00:22:58but locals told us he was friendly. So he walked over to
00:23:01his office and sure enough, he agreed to speak with us.
00:23:06Why are you still investigating the 2020 presidential election?
00:23:09All that simple. We want clean elections. And that's,
00:23:13I don't think I need to go any further than that. Leaf, though,
00:23:16has gone a lot further than that. So I started my little
00:23:20posse, I call it my election
00:23:22investigation posse. With the help from right wing groups and
00:23:25using his own deputies, he tried to seize several local
00:23:29voting machines. After the last election,
00:23:31state officials accused him of harassment,
00:23:34but Leaf says he found evidence of voter fraud
00:23:36and passed it on to the Justice Department. What kind of
00:23:39wrongdoing did you did you uncover on your investigation?
00:23:42Well, first of all, there's a lot I cannot talk
00:23:45about because it's their baby now. But referring to like
00:23:48stuff I already made public. And we suspected that there's
00:23:51something going on with foreign countries. Leaf now believes
00:23:54that Michigan's voter rolls are being deliberately inflated
00:23:57with non citizen voters, though there is little evidence
00:24:00to support this. Would you be willing to seize ballots?
00:24:05I would have to have a good reason to seize them. We'd
00:24:07probably seize and then go get a court order
00:24:10rejecting the results of the 2020 presidential election. The
00:24:14election Trump lost to Joe Biden has become one of the
00:24:17core beliefs of the American right. Hovering over these
00:24:21midterms is the prospect that election deniers now in
00:24:24positions of authority will intervene in the vote. Earlier
00:24:28this month, FBI Director Cash Patel refused
00:24:30to rule out deploying federal agents to polls on Election Day.
00:24:363rd the possibility of ICE, National Guard,
00:24:38military Marines being at or near polling stations. David
00:24:41Becker is a former elections lawyer for the Department of
00:24:45Justice who now heads the Centre for Election Innovation
00:24:48and Research.
00:24:50He says the White House is using false claims of voter
00:24:53fraud to justify trying to take more control over the voting
00:24:57process. What's really unprecedented is in our 250
00:25:00year history as a nation, the federal government,
00:25:03the White House, the administration has been an
00:25:06ally, a partner, a collaborator with the state
00:25:09and local governments in the United States that run
00:25:12elections. This administration has taken a totally different
00:25:16approach and is often acting more as an adversary to the
00:25:19States and counties
00:25:20as the federal government under President Trump seeks to seize
00:25:24power from those States and counties.
00:25:27Since returning to power two years ago,
00:25:30Trump has made several attempts to rewrite election rules,
00:25:33such as ordering the post office to restrict mail in
00:25:36voting and trying to force states to hand over sensitive
00:25:40voter information in the hopes of finding evidence of non
00:25:43citizen voting.
00:25:45All of those efforts have failed. Every single one of
00:25:48them. Every single court that has heard those voter data
00:25:51cases in the United States has ruled against the Department of
00:25:54Justice and the administration. But with midterm polls
00:25:57suggesting the Republicans could lose their majorities in
00:26:00Congress,
00:26:01Trump supporters have been pushing him to take even more
00:26:05drastic action. They're cheating. They're cheating the
00:26:08steal. We're losing. We've lost. America's Got a king. Lorenzo
00:26:12Sewell is a Detroit pastor, a loyal and well connected
00:26:15Trump supporter. The president visited his church during the
00:26:192024 campaign. Let us pray for 47th president and asked him to
00:26:23speak at the inauguration after that. My life has been a life
00:26:27where my job is to solve the problem of election fraud.
00:26:31Over the summer, Sewell befriended the pardon
00:26:34January 6, rioter Jake Lang. I love you,
00:26:37Jake. I love you. Do you think the elections here in Michigan
00:26:42will be
00:26:43fair and square? Absolutely not. This is what
00:26:46they do. They have to these absentee ballots and all those
00:26:49early voting. Why do you need to do that? Who does that?
00:26:52Why has that become a thing? Because they're cheating. 2020,
00:26:55Absolutely. 2024, 2020, two. You forgot midterms. Yep,
00:26:59I forgot the midterms. 2022 Yep. Cheating in the midterms,
00:27:03totally. We have evidence of that. 2024 presidential,
00:27:06Yep. When Trump wins, absolutely. There was cheating
00:27:10there yet, but they let Trump win Totally.
00:27:12I mean, these are obviously very
00:27:14serious claims about the American proof electoral system.
00:27:18So what do you want to see happen one day now and November
00:27:223rd national emergency? Just like we need to have one
00:27:25day paper ballot ID,
00:27:27He needs the people, he needs another January 6. And
00:27:30that's what I'm advocating for, minus the violence,
00:27:33January 6. And look at this. Soul is one of several
00:27:36prominent supporters of the president calling on him to
00:27:40invoke a national emergency. Do we not need a national security
00:27:43emergency memorandum about these elections?
00:27:46His only chance now is to declare a national security
00:27:49emergency for elections. And Trump himself told Time
00:27:52magazine last month that he wasn't ruling out the measure.
00:27:56What legal standing, if any,
00:27:57as the president have to call a national emergency?
00:28:00This is a very easy question 0 If the president were to
00:28:04embrace such a clearly unconstitutional idea as trying
00:28:07to take over elections or to postpone or cancel elections or
00:28:11declare an emergency, that would be blocked by the
00:28:14courts immediately. But progressive voting groups like
00:28:18Michigan United aren't taking chances. They've been going
00:28:21door to door in Detroit, encouraging people to vote and
00:28:25clearing up confusion about the process. I think FROM
00:28:28does a lot of it is misinformation and fear within
00:28:31our community, so we're trying to be that
00:28:33trusted messenger. Autumn Butler is the group's deputy
00:28:36executive director. In the Black community,
00:28:39we have a saying, stay ready so you don't have to
00:28:42get ready. We are being proactive by ensuring that we
00:28:45have some mechanisms set up so that all of our voters can be
00:28:48confident that their votes will count and they will be counted
00:28:52fairly and accurately at Michigan United's offices. If
00:28:55we average 20, then we should be somewhere at about 100, between 100
00:28:59and maybe 150 volunteers. They've been training
00:29:02volunteers to monitor polling stations for interference from
00:29:06federal agents or Trump supporters. You know,
00:29:08we just came up with a with a theme,
00:29:11and it's called unified resistance. They still remember
00:29:14the moment in the 2020 election
00:29:20when a pro Trump crowd in Detroit gathered outside a site
00:29:23where mail in ballots were being counted. We are still
00:29:26concerned, You know, maybe they will go to
00:29:28Huntington Place again in Detroit and try to stop the
00:29:31absentee count. And that's all we have. Our democracy
00:29:34defenders, maybe federal aides may come in
00:29:37and try to seize the ballots. These are things,
00:29:39these are scenarios that we're thinking about and planning for.
00:29:44But voting rights groups aren't as active in rural parts of the
00:29:48country, where many key races will be
00:29:50decided. In places like Barry County,
00:29:53Democracy defence depends largely on the local clerks
00:29:56running elections. They're the ones who train and staff the
00:30:00poll stations,
00:30:02and they're the ones who make sure the voting machines will
00:30:05be working come Election Day. Democratic Party 88,
00:30:09Republican Party 77, Libertarian 66. So Elizabeth,
00:30:13how did the machine perform in the test?
00:30:16Excellent. It was 100% accurate.

00:35:31After holding interest rates steady for almost a year,
00:35:33the Bank of Canada is making a move,
00:35:36hiking the policy rate by 25 basis points to 2 1/2 percent.
00:35:39The main argument for an increase was that energy prices
00:35:43are higher, they are expected to remain
00:35:45higher and cost pressures are building,
00:35:47which means pressure is building on the Bank to stay
00:35:50ahead of inflation.
00:35:52It says high fuel prices are raising the costs of production
00:35:56and transportation. Businesses could pass that on,
00:35:59pushing up prices more broadly for consumers. So we haven't
00:36:03seen broad based, you know, kind of a broader based
00:36:06increase in prices, but I think the bank is
00:36:09starting to be concerned about what's coming down the road.
00:36:12The hike will quickly make borrowing more expensive for
00:36:16Canadians with an auto loan, line of credit or mortgage tied
00:36:19to a variable rate. For example, a homeowner with a 500,
00:36:23$1000 variable rate mortgage could now be paying about $70
00:36:27more every month. It's not going to, you know,
00:36:30feel good immediately, but you know,
00:36:32that's how you get inflation back down. While variable rate
00:36:36mortgages have lower interest and more flexibility,
00:36:40for some Canadians, they can be nerve wracking. It
00:36:43was very unpredictable and stressful and I'm like,
00:36:46how much are these going to increase and to what point?
00:36:50Barbara Best recently decided to lock in to a fixed rate.
00:36:54So that gave me total predictability and certainty,
00:36:57which Peace of Mind was really important to me. Mortgage
00:37:00experts say starting to research early and shopping
00:37:03around is key. There's a lot of wiggle room for the banks and
00:37:07the banks will do quite a bit to keep their customers. The
00:37:10Bank of Canada says more interest rate hikes are
00:37:13possible, though with so much uncertainty
00:37:16around the conflict in the Middle East and the trade war,
00:37:19it will take each rate decision one meeting at a time. Nisha
00:37:23Patel, CBC News, Toronto.
00:37:25Let's bring in senior business correspondent Peter Armstrong.
00:37:28Peter, this quarter point change to
00:37:30borrowing costs obviously is not going to solve Iran's
00:37:33threats to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. So what is
00:37:36the Bank of Canada hoping to achieve? Yeah,
00:37:38the idea here is to try to keep inflation contained within the
00:37:42energy sector because right now, inflation still largely the
00:37:45story of the cost of gas, diesel,
00:37:47home heating fuel. Once that spills over into other
00:37:49categories, it gets a lot harder to rein back in. And we're looking at what,
00:37:538 months now of war and rising energy costs.
00:37:56Businesses can eat that for a while. But the central banks
00:37:59worried that their patients won't last.
00:38:02As we've been saying for some time, the longer energy prices remain high,
00:38:06the more likely it is that these costs will spill over to
00:38:08consumer prices more broadly.
00:38:11So if you produce stuff for you, ship stuff,
00:38:13your cost of business is higher now because gas and diesel
00:38:16prices are higher. So Macklin's hoping that this increase and
00:38:19that the message that the Bank is willing to take action if it
00:38:22needs to, that that will prevent that spillover for a while at least. Of course,
00:38:26raising rates comes with risks. It does,
00:38:28and the Bank of Canada's had this dilemma for a while now. 2
00:38:32very different problems in the economy. On the one hand,
00:38:34weak growth, the other rising inflation. The
00:38:37problem for the Bank is it can only do one thing at a time. It
00:38:40can raise interest rates.
00:38:41They're cut interest rates. And normally, to fight weak growth,
00:38:44you'd cut rates and that would make inflation worse. To fight
00:38:48inflation, you'd raise those rates,
00:38:49but that's gonna make that slow growth even worse. And so we
00:38:52have two problems with two totally different solutions
00:38:55that actually make the other one worse. OK. And any idea of
00:38:58what's going to happen next when it comes to rates?
00:39:00So the bank says it's going to take this one at a time,
00:39:03but that there could be a need to raise the policy rate
00:39:06further. We've been hearing from economists through the day
00:39:09who think we could see as many as another three interest rate
00:39:12works by the end of next year. Senior business correspondent
00:39:15Peter Armstrong.
00:39:18For the first time in more than three years,
00:39:20the Bank of Canada raised its benchmark interest rate as the
00:39:24country grapples with rising inflation. As home prices
00:39:27continue to fall, real estate experts in Toronto
00:39:29say this isn't going to do the housing market any favors. I'm
00:39:32concerned about the buyer sentiment. Consumer confidence
00:39:36is generally at an all time low and you're going to crush that.
00:39:39Now people are concerned, they want clarity,
00:39:41they want to know what's going on. And the concern is,
00:39:44is this going to be a snowball effect?
00:39:46The reality is we can't know for sure.
00:39:49The central bank did signal that more rate hikes could be
00:39:51on the horizon. And one real estate agent says that could
00:39:54keep the housing market stagnant. Are we going to have
00:39:57multiple rate increases? And if that's going to happen,
00:40:00you're going to see a crushing pressure on consumer demand.
00:40:03People are going to be really pushed to the sidelines and
00:40:06they're going to wait and see. There's already people looking
00:40:09at the market currently today and saying, hey,
00:40:12if I don't find what I like, if it's not priced the way I
00:40:15like, I'm just going to wait until the spring. Meanwhile, Premier Doug Ford
00:40:19weighed in on the Bank of Canada's rate decision,
00:40:21writing on social media platform X that raising
00:40:24interest rates right now is a massive mistake and they will
00:40:27only make life more expensive for Canadian families and
00:40:30workers, punishing them for something
00:40:32they can't control. Back in the dog days of summer,
00:40:34some real estate agents were predicting a boost in the fall
00:40:37market. That didn't happen. As we were moving through the
00:40:40summer, we thought that, you know,
00:40:42the the prospects of a trade deal with the United States
00:40:45were at hand. Obviously that didn't come to pass. And so
00:40:48that's led to a little bit more
00:40:50uncertainty on the part of a lot of households that may have
00:40:53otherwise been moving back in the market. According to the
00:40:56Toronto Regional Real Estate Board,
00:40:58home sales in September were down 9% compared to the same
00:41:02month last year. The average selling price for the month was
00:41:05down by around $50, 000 from a year earlier,
00:41:07and new listings were also down around 14%. The board says
00:41:11buyers remain in a holding pattern. I think even more
00:41:14importantly, you know, confidence in in making those
00:41:17payments over the long term has receded a little bit
00:41:20just because people are still concerned about, you know,
00:41:23their employment situation, the overall economy and the
00:41:26prospect for, you know, higher borrowing costs as you
00:41:28move forward. And so we've seen sales add a little bit in
00:41:31comparison to last year. Real estate agent Andrea Pecky and
00:41:34notes that Toronto is made-up of micro markets. He says more
00:41:38desirable neighborhoods will often still see more movement.
00:41:41But he says buyers have a lot more power now than they did in
00:41:44the peak to take their time, find a price they're
00:41:46comfortable with and include conditions in their offers.
00:41:49Prices are already
00:41:51no. So if you buy a house today, you're generally getting at a
00:41:54discount than it was before. Will they go lower?
00:41:57Maybe. But the whole idea in Toronto,
00:41:59it is these very specific market. It's about finding the
00:42:02house that you really love and you enjoy. Experts say there is
00:42:06one exception to the uncertainty,
00:42:08and it's the condo market, especially smaller ones. Even
00:42:11if the broader market picks up, an oversupply of condos right
00:42:14now will likely keep those prices low for a while. Talia
00:42:18Richie, CBC News, Toronto.
00:42:23Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein,
00:42:25we've been looking at the players,
00:42:27Law and Order to Russia final showcasing the two and of
00:42:31course he did rivalry. These are just some of the major
00:42:34films and TV shows that have filmed in Ontario in recent
00:42:38years. But crews working behind the scenes say some of that
00:42:42work is drying up. We are down in production levels this year
00:42:45for sure. The summer was a bit slow so we don't have Q3
00:42:49numbers yet, but in the first six months are
00:42:52unionized members reported 38%.
00:42:54You are working days, that's about 250,
00:42:56000 days total. Phil Montario, A nonprofit representing
00:42:59studios, producers and creative guilds
00:43:01across the province, says many productions are
00:43:04looking at other cities and regions that offer stronger
00:43:07incentives and that's having a major impact on workers in the
00:43:10sector and beyond. We have a lot of talented people in
00:43:13Ontario, both who work on the domestic
00:43:15productions, but also, you know, we have Oscar winning cast and
00:43:19crew here in Ontario. So there is the direct job loss for
00:43:22those individuals, but then there's also this spin-off
00:43:26effects. So those productions aren't here to
00:43:29use local caterers to buy costumes and local stores to,
00:43:32you know, if we're bringing people in,
00:43:35they're not staying in local hotels. That's why Film Ontario
00:43:38and IATSE Local 667, the union for Ontario's camera
00:43:41operators and cinematographers, recently called on the province
00:43:45to come to their aid ahead of the November fall economic
00:43:48statement. The groups are calling for increased tax
00:43:51credits to attract and retain productions and an additional
00:43:55$26 million investment into the Ontario Creates IP Fund,
00:43:58the province's primary tool for directly financing
00:44:01homegrown productions. It is a vastly oversubscribed fund,
00:44:04which means that, you know, every competitive fund has its
00:44:07good and bad projects. But definitely with the
00:44:10oversubscription to this fund, there are good projects that
00:44:13are being left on the table because we're seeing them being
00:44:16picked up by other provinces or going somewhere else. In a
00:44:19statement sent to CBC Toronto, a Ministry of Tourism,
00:44:22Culture and Gaming spokesperson highlights that the province is
00:44:26providing nearly $1 billion in film and television tax credits
00:44:29this fiscal year. The ministry also pointed to ongoing
00:44:32economic uncertainty, particularly in light of
00:44:34US tariffs, but said Ontario's film
00:44:36industry remains a global leader. The statement did not
00:44:39address the call for more investment into the Ontario
00:44:42Creates IP fund. Tyler Cheese, CBC News, Toronto.
00:46:47This one is from Canada. My colleagues opened this
00:46:50container and then found a crate was hidden filled with
00:46:53vacuum bags of cannabis. About 1K every bag. Wow,
00:46:57that is Canadian cannabis. Yes, that is the legalization of
00:47:01cannabis in Canada is having an unintended but serious effect
00:47:05across the Atlantic. 21 tons of Canadian marijuana were seized
00:47:09here at the Belgian port of Antwerp last year,
00:47:12about four times more than the year before. Either you earn
00:47:16lot of money or you don't do it. Christian Vander Warren is head
00:47:21of customs in Belgium, and he says seizures of
00:47:24Canadian cannabis at its main port exceed every other country
00:47:28in the world. Why Canadian cannabis?
00:47:30According to my information, it has to do with the policy of
00:47:34the Canadian government who legalized production and
00:47:37consumption. So you have a lot of production and then you want
00:47:42to sell it on top of this 320 million Europeans who have
00:47:45money to buy this. So it's an immense
00:47:48market.
00:47:50The port of Antwerp is an immense gateway to that market.
00:47:54Weed legally grown in Canada since 2018 is illegally
00:47:57smuggled through here, then sold for top dollar on the
00:48:01streets of Europe from 4:00 to nearly six times as much as in
00:48:05Canada. This is a supply driven market in a van. Wiremesh is
00:48:09Belgium's first ever drug commissioner. The problem is
00:48:12that criminal organizations are making a lot of money exporting
00:48:16the cannabis from Canada and this has an effect on our
00:48:20streets.
00:48:21Shootings we see are mainly related to cocaine,
00:48:24but also to to cannabis.
00:48:27A spike in drug turf wars has terrorized Belgium cities. The
00:48:31latest tally in Brussels alone 74 shootings so far this year.
00:48:35The surge prompted 1 judge to warn Belgium was evolving into
00:48:39a quote narco state as a doorway to the continent.
00:48:42Belgium's drug problem is also Europe's problem and the nature
00:48:47of that drug problem is changing. What does it tell you
00:48:50that in the first six months of this year that cocaine arrivals
00:48:55at your port have been exceeded by cannabis?
00:48:58But it means that criminal organizations adapt very fast
00:49:03to new policy context. I think we cannot be naive. We have to
00:49:08see the whole impact on a global scale of what a local
00:49:13policy can provoke.
00:49:17A world's worth of such impacts routinely lands at the port of
00:49:21Antwerp, along the cocaine portal to Europe.
00:49:25And we're Belgian customs are battling to stay ahead of the
00:49:29criminals responsible. Smuggling is like surfing. Yeah,
00:49:33you have to find the wave.
00:49:36The wave is what is existing. Those criminal organization who
00:49:40are dealing with the coke in are also dealing with the with
00:49:44the cannabis. OK, we're now going to the scan
00:49:47tunnel. This is the first time Canadian journalists get a
00:49:51glimpse into the inner workings of customs at the port. Our
00:49:55guide is communications officer Sarah van Kottam. Criteria are
00:49:59being used to decide whether or not a container is a risky one
00:50:03or not. Choosing which containers to inspect
00:50:06is a calculation against a checklist of risks. For example,
00:50:11more recently, Canadian containers are getting
00:50:14more scrutiny, but only a fraction of the 13.5
00:50:17million containers flowing through here every year is
00:50:21checked. The rate of what we check is between 1 and 2% like
00:50:25other ports
00:50:27with a higher percentage of incoming containers and a lower
00:50:30percentage of export containers. Yes. OK, so this is our fixed.
00:50:36To bolster their inspections, customs use a number of modern
00:50:40tools, including artificial
00:50:42intelligence and scanners like this one. So it's just like an
00:50:46X-ray? Yes, it is. It only takes minutes
00:50:49for a container to be scanned, but sometimes the only way to
00:50:53find what may be stashed inside is to pry it open it. Sometimes
00:50:57what looks innocuous is anything but. This was a
00:51:00container from people moving from Canada to France. There
00:51:04will be appliances,
00:51:05there will be furnitures and moving truck effectively, Yeah,
00:51:08full of stuff. OK. So even if you enlarge that,
00:51:11it's impossible to see. Everything is off. The only
00:51:13option was to open it
00:51:15and they did. And then they found two like electric jug
00:51:19boxes. Yes, she's saying Juke boxes as in
00:51:22music players. But the stuff to make it work,
00:51:25just remove. So they opened the machines and then they found
00:51:29inside packages of cannabis. What happens to this stuff?
00:51:32The cannabis, after it's found the drugs,
00:51:35is taken to the incinerator to get burned.
00:51:40With Canadian cannabis seizures soaring last year,
00:51:43Vanderwagen raised the alarm with his Canadian counterparts.
00:51:47That led to an agreement quietly signed between Canada
00:51:50and Belgium, as well as France and the
00:51:52Netherlands to work on stymieing the smugglers
00:51:55together.
00:51:56Canadian authors are upscaling their inspections. They see is
00:52:00also last year 46 tons, of course. So they're doing a
00:52:03great job. Are they doing enough given the scale of the
00:52:06problem? You can always do more, but that means capacity,
00:52:10that means means and that is up to the politicians to decide.
00:52:14The Canada Border Services Agency confirmed there is a
00:52:17marked increase in cannabis export,
00:52:19especially to Europe. That with the RCMP,
00:52:22they are working with international partners to fight
00:52:25the criminal networks responsible.
00:52:28An international problem officials here insist requires
00:52:32an international solution, even if,
00:52:34like Canada's marijuana laws, it begins with local policy. It
00:52:38will not help us to blame each other because we need each
00:52:42other. This is really a global issue. If we don't focus on the
00:52:46global level and we don't act on the local level,
00:52:49we will never come to something sustainable. Europol told CBC
00:52:53News the illicit trade in cannabis from North America
00:52:57will likely persist
00:52:58and even grow in Europe, a matter to consider as Canada
00:53:02and the EU look to deepen their ties.
00:55:08Quebeckers are getting ready to turn back the clocks,
00:55:11possibly for the last time. I ate it. It's like it's crazy
00:55:15with kids.
00:55:17Yeah, we don't like it, Quebec's new premier promised
00:55:20in his campaign to abolish seasonal time changes.
00:55:24Paul St. Pierre Camaldo now says he will consult experts
00:55:28and introduce a bill this winter to make it happen. Half
00:55:31the continent is moving and half is not,
00:55:34and it's becoming very confusing. Several western
00:55:37provinces decided to stop switching time in the past year
00:55:41amid growing concerns that changing the clocks disrupts
00:55:44sleep and is linked to increased risk of heart attacks
00:55:48and car accidents. Setting the clocks on one time all year is
00:55:51also sparking another debate. Should there be more light
00:55:55in the morning or the evening? I,
00:55:57I'd like to have a lot more daytime in the evening
00:56:01when I can actually like,
00:56:03have fun. But I have to admit, I don't know if we should get
00:56:07which side to go. I don't know. It's much better to have light
00:56:11in the morning. There's no question about that. In terms
00:56:15of health and biology, this expert warns starting
00:56:18winter days in the dark would disrupt sleep patterns,
00:56:22especially for children, and harm mental health and
00:56:25productivity. We need the light from in the morning,
00:56:29natural light to synchronize our biological clock. Quebec's
00:56:33neighbors are holding off for now. Ontario passed legislation
00:56:37back in 2020
00:56:38saying it will scrap the time change only if New York and
00:56:42Quebec are both on board, a possible complication in
00:56:45Canada's Capital Region, where workers regularly cross
00:56:49back and forth between provinces. It'll be essential
00:56:52for Quebec and Ontario to coordinate. That could be a
00:56:56little chaotic if just across the river, you know,
00:56:59we're an hour different, different timelines and some
00:57:03confusion. Even if experts and most Canadians agree,
00:57:06it's time to stop changing the clock.
00:57:09Alexander Silberman, CBC News, Montreal.
00:57:15Normally BC would be rolling back our clocks an hour this
00:57:18weekend, but since the province has
00:57:20adopted year round daylight saving time,
00:57:23we're staying put. However, some of your meetings,
00:57:26appointments and schedules could be affected as many tech
00:57:29platforms need to be updated, calendaring systems or
00:57:32messaging systems. The times that individual users,
00:57:35depending on which side of the border they're on,
00:57:38will be seeing might be different, might be confusing,
00:57:42leading to meetings being missed, deadlines being blown.
00:57:45Starting November 1st, BC will be one hour behind
00:57:48Washington state and two hours behind most of Ontario and
00:57:51Quebec. Alberta and Manitoba won't be turning back their
00:57:54clocks. Several organizations are already warning of
00:57:57day-to-day impacts. UBC posting a warning to staff and students.
00:58:01Island Health advising patients not to cancel appointments. The
00:58:04Township of Langley saying some systems may be disrupted. Small
00:58:08businesses are working out how they'll be affected. As if a
00:58:11trade war wasn't already difficult enough,
00:58:14now you've got to add shipping schedules on top of that.
00:58:17And this is just one more challenge that businesses will
00:58:20have to deal with. Tech companies like Google and Apple
00:58:23have posted instructions on how to adjust settings. The
00:58:26Canadian Telecom Association says devices with outdated
00:58:29software may not display correct times. For some,
00:58:32it's all reminiscent of the Y2K bug. Most people on planet
00:58:35Earth don't even realize that this is an issue,
00:58:37and that's part of the problem. They're going to wake up and
00:58:41something is going to be wrong. They're not going to understand
00:58:44why. Tech experts recommend you install software updates and
00:58:47reboot your system if necessary. If you're working across time zones,
00:58:51make sure to tell the person on the other end that BC is now on
00:58:56PCT Pacific Time. Amelia, John. CBC News, Vancouver.

01:21:17The number of dead continues to grow in Spain following
01:21:19yesterday's fatal high speed train collision. Police are now
01:21:23confirming 69 deaths, including one person who died
01:21:26in hospital. Police say there is optimism for those who were
01:21:30injured. Of the 110 admitted, 60 have now been discharged but
01:21:3350 remain in hospital. Authorities say those in
01:21:36critical care are showing signs of positive recovery and the
01:21:40work to identify any remaining victims is ongoing. This
01:21:43morning,
01:21:45audio recordings between the drivers of the two trains
01:21:48involved .2 potential human error. One train told to move
01:21:51forward while another was stalled on the same track. Anna
01:21:55Cunningham tracking that for us. Anna
01:21:58David, within a few hours of this
01:22:01trained disaster, Spains transport minister was
01:22:05suggesting that the calls might be a combination of a major
01:22:10computer system failure and catastrophic human error. Now
01:22:15Spain's national newspaper is El Pai and it's obtained a copy
01:22:21of that audio recording. What we hear is the rail controller
01:22:26who's in the capital Madrid
01:22:28talking to the train drivers. We subtitled the translation
01:22:32from Spanish. Take a look
01:22:38100 Your number,
01:22:42your mind,
01:22:44everybody
01:22:48in my
01:22:51but
01:22:53Cortana
01:22:55nothing
01:22:57now that was recorded just in the minutes before 1 train
01:23:01plowed into the back of the other and it does sound quite
01:23:05chaotic conversation. The driver of the train that was
01:23:09stationary is heard saying his train just won't start at David.
01:23:13Let's just take you back to those images from overnight
01:23:17because we see the floodlights have been illuminating the
01:23:21mangled wreckage of those trains. Emergency teams have
01:23:24been using heavy lifting and cutting equipment,
01:23:28we're told as well. Sniffer dogs and thermal drones have
01:23:32been used. There are still missing passengers. Families
01:23:36are being asked to give DNA samples now as they hope to
01:23:40identify their loved ones. David. Now,
01:23:42this is the second major train disaster in just a year in
01:23:47Spain. There is anger, but there is also this morning,
01:23:50morning,
01:23:52Yes, we have seen candle lit vigils
01:23:55taking place and moments of silence being held to remember
01:23:59the victims of this train crash. 3 days of official mourning in
01:24:04Spain now underway. The Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is
01:24:09under increasing pressure. He gave an update earlier. Let's
01:24:13just take a listen to what he said.
01:24:16Total administration, General Estado. Total assisted.
01:24:21There's the piano, municipio de Espana estamos
01:24:26trabajando de noche para victimas
01:24:32astarotte monetary Vista trachea posto.
01:24:37I don't know about
01:24:40now, David, Spain's opposition parties are
01:24:43accusing the Spanish government of playing, they say,
01:24:47Russian roulette with train safety,
01:24:49especially given that this is the second major incident on a
01:24:54on the same line that has claimed lives. But it's worth
01:24:58remembering that all of this is happening just four weeks away
01:25:02from when Spain goes to the polls in a general election. It
01:25:07is quite something. Anna, thank you.
01:25:10That demand for answers into this tragedy has turned angry
01:25:14in Spain.
01:25:21Heated demonstrations outside Spain's transport ministry,
01:25:24where protesters call for Spain's Prime Minister and
01:25:27transport minister to resign. Meanwhile,
01:25:29rail drivers across the country are expected to strike today in
01:25:33what they say is a fight to defend railway safety.
01:25:37Canadians were among those on board the train. Several are
01:25:40injured, another unaccounted for. Linda,
01:25:43with what we know, yeah. I've reached out to
01:25:45Global Affairs Canada this morning to try and get more
01:25:49information. Some update from the last update that we had
01:25:52last night. No response to just yet,
01:25:54but we're continuing to follow up. But a spokesperson for
01:25:57Global Affairs saying in that statement last night that they
01:26:01are aware of seven individuals impacted by the train crash in
01:26:04Spain. 6 Canadians have sustained injuries,
01:26:07the 7th individual currently unaccounted for is there. Our
01:26:11thoughts are with the families and loved ones as well as all
01:26:14those affected rescue workers of course,
01:26:17as Anna mentioned there, continuing to search the
01:26:20wreckage and trying to identify the dead. Global Affairs Canada
01:26:24pointed to some hotlines created for anyone needing
01:26:27assistance. Families looking for answers. Canadian officials
01:26:31are providing consular assistance. They are in contact
01:26:34with local authorities as well there in the hopes of
01:26:38gathering
01:26:39more information about the extent of Canadians involvement
01:26:42in this incident. But Transport Minister Stephen McKinnon said
01:26:46on social media that he had reached out to his Spanish
01:26:49counterpart just to express solidarity at this time,
01:26:52saying I also thank the emergency responders and
01:26:56medical teams working around the clock to help those
01:26:59impacted by this tragedy. As I say,
01:27:01we'll continue to follow up global affairs to understand
01:27:05the extent of Canadians involved in this. All right, Linda,
01:27:09thank you very much.
01:31:46$89.00 If you're feeling the pinch when you pull up to the
01:31:48pumps to fill your vehicle with gasoline or diesel,
01:31:52you'll want to keep that number in mind. It's the benchmark
01:31:55price for a barrel of oil that will determine whether you will
01:31:59pay any provincial tax on fuel.
01:32:02On Monday, Finance Minister Craig Parody
01:32:04announced that the 8 cent provincial tax on a leader of
01:32:08gas would be temporarily reduced to 0 beginning December
01:32:111st. The measure is meant to give motorists a break in this
01:32:15era of high fuel prices and cost of living pressures,
01:32:18and will be paid for by an unexpected windfall from oil
01:32:22royalties to the Treasury. On Thursday,
01:32:24the minister gave more clarity on when motorists can expect to
01:32:28get a break at the pumps. If the average price of oil is $89.
01:32:3200 a barrel
01:32:33or higher for 20 days, at the end of 1/4 the tax will
01:32:37be removed. If not, the eight cent tax will be
01:32:41restored. Now it'll be in legislation that this is the
01:32:45way we'll operate. There's no guesswork. Why is $89.00 the
01:32:50benchmark? One word, Alberta and Alberta's is 90
01:32:55and we just wanted to do $1.00 better than Alberta and we're
01:32:58going 89. Analysts are forecasting that Brent crude
01:33:01prices will remain elevated for the foreseeable future. So it's
01:33:05quite possible that motorists can expect an extended tax
01:33:08holiday after December 1st. I would say that we expect it to
01:33:12be higher and we expect it to continue on. The Liberals say
01:33:16the tax should be removed earlier than December 1st and
01:33:19the cut should be permanent. You know,
01:33:21there the oil revenue continues to go up and not having the
01:33:25certainty Newfoundlanders
01:33:26Airlines need and deserve with regards to the cost of living,
01:33:30I think it's just gonna cause more frustration and more grief,
01:33:34more worry for families across the province. Drivers will find
01:33:38out on the 16th of the month in January, April,
01:33:41July and October whether they'll be paying any gas taxes
01:33:45for the next quarter, either zero or eight cents. And
01:33:48politics won't be a factor. The markets will decide. Terry
01:33:52Roberts, CBC News, St. John's.
01:33:56For the first time in more than three years,
01:33:58the Bank of Canada raised its benchmark interest rate as the
01:34:01country grapples with rising inflation. As home prices
01:34:04continue to fall, real estate experts in Toronto
01:34:07say this isn't going to do the housing market any favors. I'm
01:34:11concerned about the buyer sentiment. Consumer confidence
01:34:13is generally at an all time low and you're going to crush that.
01:34:17Now people are concerned, they want clarity,
01:34:19they want to know what's going on. And the concern is,
01:34:22is this going to be a snowball effect?
01:34:24The reality is we can't know for sure.
01:34:26The central bank did signal that more rate hikes could be
01:34:29on the horizon. And one real estate agent says that could
01:34:32keep the housing market stagnant. Are we going to have
01:34:35multiple rate increases? And if that's going to happen,
01:34:38you're going to see a crushing pressure on consumer demand.
01:34:41People are going to be really pushed to the sidelines and
01:34:44they're going to wait and see. There's already people looking
01:34:47at the market currently today and saying, hey,
01:34:50if I don't find what I like, if it's not priced the way I
01:34:53like, I'm just going to wait until the spring. Meanwhile, Premier Doug Ford
01:34:57weighed in on the Bank of Canada's rate decision,
01:34:59writing on social media platform X that raising
01:35:02interest rates right now is a massive mistake and they will
01:35:05only make life more expensive for Canadian families and
01:35:08workers, punishing them for something
01:35:09they can't control. Back in the dog days of summer,
01:35:12some real estate agents were predicting a boost in the fall
01:35:15market. That didn't happen. As we were moving through the
01:35:18summer, we thought that, you know,
01:35:20the the prospects of a trade deal with the United States
01:35:23were at hand. Obviously that didn't come to pass. And so
01:35:26that's led to a little bit more
01:35:27uncertainty on the part of a lot of households that may have
01:35:31otherwise been moving back in the market. According to the
01:35:34Toronto Regional Real Estate Board,
01:35:36home sales in September were down 9% compared to the same
01:35:39month last year. The average selling price for the month was
01:35:43down by around $50, 000 from a year earlier,
01:35:45and new listings were also down around 14%. The board says
01:35:49buyers remain in a holding pattern. I think even more
01:35:52importantly, you know, confidence in in making those
01:35:54payments over the long term has receded a little bit
01:35:58just because people are still concerned about, you know,
01:36:01their employment situation, the overall economy and the
01:36:03prospect for, you know, higher borrowing costs as you
01:36:06move forward. And so we've seen sales add a little bit in
01:36:09comparison to last year. Real estate agent Andrea Pecky and
01:36:12notes that Toronto is made-up of micro markets. He says more
01:36:15desirable neighborhoods will often still see more movement.
01:36:18But he says buyers have a lot more power now than they did in
01:36:22the peak to take their time, find a price they're
01:36:24comfortable with and include conditions in their offers.
01:36:27Prices are already
01:36:29no. So if you buy a house today, you're generally getting at a
01:36:32discount than it was before. Will they go lower?
01:36:34Maybe. But the whole idea in Toronto,
01:36:37it is these very specific market. It's about finding the
01:36:40house that you really love and you enjoy. Experts say there is
01:36:43one exception to the uncertainty,
01:36:45and it's the condo market, especially smaller ones. Even
01:36:49if the broader market picks up, an oversupply of condos right
01:36:52now will likely keep those prices low for a while. Talia
01:36:56Richie, CBC News, Toronto.
01:37:01This is 2599 a kilo. Mandy Boyarski is fed up with the
01:37:04cost of kosher meat, and he's on a mission to bring
01:37:07prices in Montreal down. Major problem. People are are going
01:37:10to New York to buy meat. People are not eating meat and people
01:37:14are just not eating kosher meats. So here's our production
01:37:17room. We are ski says the Jewish Community Council Of
01:37:20Montreal, or JCC, is responsible for this. He
01:37:23alleges it's driving up costs through its certifier,
01:37:26MK Kosher. The JCC denies Bojarski's allegations. They
01:37:29don't allow competition into the market,
01:37:32so they're able to charge exorbitant,
01:37:34exorbitant prices for. Yarsky sells meat from KSR Arrival to
01:37:38MK. He says because he chose to operate outside of the JCC
01:37:41system, it's blocking him from getting
01:37:43a foothold in the commercial side of the industry. And he's
01:37:47taking his fight to the Competition Tribunal of Canada.
01:37:50There's been a groundswell of support from the Montreal
01:37:54Jewish community. We are skiing. His legal team also claimed the
01:37:58JCC forces local congregations to buy only MK approved kosher
01:38:01products. It's just
01:38:03important to have more competition to bring more
01:38:05affordability to to that market. Having a case heard at Canada's
01:38:10Competition tribunal can be difficult,
01:38:12but Crane says the timing is right to challenge the JCC's
01:38:16alleged market dominance because of changes to the
01:38:19Competition Act. In response to the rising cost of living and
01:38:23skyrocketing grocery bills, Parliament changed the act to
01:38:26allow the tribunal to take cases based on public interest.
01:38:30Rabbi Rubin Pupko isn't taking sides in the dispute,
01:38:33but is behind the idea of more competition. I would say the
01:38:37community is divided between those who are agitated and
01:38:40frustrated and those who have quietly surrendered. But not
01:38:44too many people are happy. The term kosher translates to fit
01:38:48to eat poop. Co says the method of slaughtering the animal is
01:38:52more humane and pain free, and every step of the process
01:38:56is carefully monitored with inspections. But keeping kosher
01:38:59comes at a cost. Never heard anyone complain it was too
01:39:03inexpensive.
01:39:07Shopper CBC spoke with told us they often travel to New York
01:39:10in search of lower prices. The fact that there is not
01:39:13significant competition in Montreal is a significant
01:39:16contributing factor to the cost. There's no question. OK,
01:39:19so today we're going to drive around Montreal and we're going
01:39:23to go to four, maybe 5 and different grocery
01:39:25stores and butchers and trying to get an idea of what the
01:39:28general cost is for kosher meats in and around the city.
01:39:32We visited these stores because they're listed on the JCC
01:39:35website
01:39:36under the Kosher section. Our investigation found that MK
01:39:39certified ground beef, after factoring in currency
01:39:43conversion, was on average 40 to 50% more
01:39:46expensive than Bingo Wholesale, a well known American grocer in
01:39:50New York. MK Kosher certified beef was also on average more
01:39:55expensive than KSR beef sold by Boyarsky. At Alf Meats. Ground
01:39:59beef from South America was 18 to 37% less compared to MK at
01:40:03the places we price checked.
01:40:06I don't think the issue is on a competition level. The JCC
01:40:10maintains Bingo Wholesale is an outlier in New York. It says
01:40:14its data doesn't support the finding that beef prices are
01:40:17higher in Montreal. There's applications,
01:40:20there's ways. Look around you. You have tremendous specials.
01:40:24The JCC also disagrees with KSR about what is acceptable kosher
01:40:28food. MK has its standards and has its rules.
01:40:32It's accepted in certification that a certifier has the
01:40:36ability to define its standards. In an affidavit,
01:40:39the JCC denies that it's certifier enforces any
01:40:42exclusivity agreements with the exception of banquet halls. MK
01:40:46Kosher has full time employees to ensure that it's strict
01:40:50religious standards are being observed. This includes drop in
01:40:54inspections at restaurants and at synagogues and 24/7 video
01:40:58surveillance in kitchens and prep areas. MK Kosher charges
01:41:02A1 time fee for some of its services,
01:41:05like attending a slaughter, and recurring fees for others,
01:41:08like maintaining an MK certificate. It's fair to
01:41:11characterize it as a money that helps subsidize. Call it a
01:41:15money maker. It definitely has a surplus that is reallocated
01:41:19to community needs. You're attacking A certifier,
01:41:22not a seller. He says. Issues like this are typically handled
01:41:26internally, often by the Rabbinical
01:41:28Tribunal Of Montreal. Rather than being fought out in court.
01:41:33THINK is the place of tribunals to interfere in kosher
01:41:36certification and generally religious beliefs and
01:41:40discussions. So they get the set of the policies and then
01:41:44they get to reap the rewards. But since that tribunal is also
01:41:48part of the JCC, Buyarski says he had no choice
01:41:52but to take this route.
01:41:55The prosecutor, they're the judge and they're
01:41:57the jury. They get to decide who could sell what,
01:42:00who could sell. We could bring it in. They control everything
01:42:04across the board. A Federal Court judge will decide if
01:42:07Boyarsky's lawsuit has merit and if it will be heard by the
01:42:10Competition Tribunal. If successful,
01:42:12the JCC could be forced to pay millions in damages.
01:49:32Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein,
01:49:34we've been looking at the players,
01:49:36Law and Order to Russia final showcasing the two and of
01:49:40course he did rivalry. These are just some of the major
01:49:43films and TV shows that have filmed in Ontario in recent
01:49:47years. But crews working behind the scenes say some of that
01:49:51work is drying up. We are down in production levels this year
01:49:54for sure. The summer was a bit slow so we don't have Q3
01:49:58numbers yet, but in the first six months are
01:50:01unionized members reported 38%.
01:50:03You are working days, that's about 250,
01:50:05000 days total. Phil Montario, A nonprofit representing
01:50:08studios, producers and creative guilds
01:50:10across the province, says many productions are
01:50:13looking at other cities and regions that offer stronger
01:50:16incentives and that's having a major impact on workers in the
01:50:19sector and beyond. We have a lot of talented people in
01:50:22Ontario, both who work on the domestic
01:50:24productions, but also, you know, we have Oscar winning cast and
01:50:28crew here in Ontario. So there is the direct job loss for
01:50:31those individuals, but then there's also this spin-off
01:50:35effects. So those productions aren't here to
01:50:38use local caterers to buy costumes and local stores to,
01:50:41you know, if we're bringing people in,
01:50:44they're not staying in local hotels. That's why Film Ontario
01:50:47and IATSE Local 667, the union for Ontario's camera
01:50:50operators and cinematographers, recently called on the province
01:50:54to come to their aid ahead of the November fall economic
01:50:57statement. The groups are calling for increased tax
01:51:00credits to attract and retain productions and an additional
01:51:03$26 million investment into the Ontario Creates IP Fund,
01:51:07the province's primary tool for directly financing
01:51:10homegrown productions. It is a vastly oversubscribed fund,
01:51:13which means that, you know, every competitive fund has its
01:51:16good and bad projects. But definitely with the
01:51:19oversubscription to this fund, there are good projects that
01:51:22are being left on the table because we're seeing them being
01:51:25picked up by other provinces or going somewhere else. In a
01:51:28statement sent to CBC Toronto, a Ministry of Tourism,
01:51:31Culture and Gaming spokesperson highlights that the province is
01:51:35providing nearly $1 billion in film and television tax credits
01:51:38this fiscal year. The ministry also pointed to ongoing
01:51:41economic uncertainty, particularly in light of
01:51:43US tariffs, but said Ontario's film
01:51:45industry remains a global leader. The statement did not
01:51:48address the call for more investment into the Ontario
01:51:51Creates IP fund. Tyler Cheese, CBC News, Toronto.
01:54:03Quebeckers are getting ready to turn back the clocks,
01:54:06possibly for the last time. I ate it. It's like it's crazy
01:54:10with kids.
01:54:12Yeah, we don't like it, Quebec's new premier promised
01:54:15in his campaign to abolish seasonal time changes.
01:54:19Paul St. Pierre Camaldo now says he will consult experts
01:54:23and introduce a bill this winter to make it happen. Half
01:54:27the continent is moving and half is not,
01:54:29and it's becoming very confusing. Several western
01:54:32provinces decided to stop switching time in the past year
01:54:36amid growing concerns that changing the clocks disrupts
01:54:39sleep and is linked to increased risk of heart attacks
01:54:43and car accidents. Setting the clocks on one time all year is
01:54:46also sparking another debate. Should there be more light
01:54:50in the morning or the evening? I,
01:54:52I'd like to have a lot more daytime in the evening
01:54:56when I can actually like,
01:54:58have fun. But I have to admit, I don't know if we should get
01:55:02which side to go. I don't know. It's much better to have light
01:55:06in the morning. There's no question about that. In terms
01:55:10of health and biology, this expert warns starting
01:55:13winter days in the dark would disrupt sleep patterns,
01:55:17especially for children, and harm mental health and
01:55:20productivity. We need the light from in the morning,
01:55:24natural light to synchronize our biological clock. Quebec's
01:55:28neighbors are holding off for now. Ontario passed legislation
01:55:32back in 2020
01:55:33saying it will scrap the time change only if New York and
01:55:37Quebec are both on board, a possible complication in
01:55:40Canada's Capital Region, where workers regularly cross
01:55:44back and forth between provinces. It'll be essential
01:55:47for Quebec and Ontario to coordinate. That could be a
01:55:51little chaotic if just across the river, you know,
01:55:54we're an hour different, different timelines and some
01:55:58confusion. Even if experts and most Canadians agree,
01:56:01it's time to stop changing the clock.

01:56:10Normally BC would be rolling back our clocks an hour this
01:56:13weekend, but since the province has
01:56:15adopted year round daylight saving time,
01:56:18we're staying put. However, some of your meetings,
01:56:21appointments and schedules could be affected as many tech
01:56:24platforms need to be updated, calendaring systems or
01:56:27messaging systems. The times that individual users,
01:56:30depending on which side of the border they're on,
01:56:33will be seeing might be different, might be confusing,
01:56:37leading to meetings being missed, deadlines being blown.
01:56:40Starting November 1st, BC will be one hour behind
01:56:43Washington state and two hours behind most of Ontario and
01:56:46Quebec. Alberta and Manitoba won't be turning back their
01:56:49clocks. Several organizations are already warning of
01:56:52day-to-day impacts. UBC posting a warning to staff and students.
01:56:56Island Health advising patients not to cancel appointments. The
01:56:59Township of Langley saying some systems may be disrupted. Small
01:57:03businesses are working out how they'll be affected. As if a
01:57:06trade war wasn't already difficult enough,
01:57:09now you've got to add shipping schedules on top of that.
01:57:12And this is just one more challenge that businesses will
01:57:15have to deal with. Tech companies like Google and Apple
01:57:18have posted instructions on how to adjust settings. The
01:57:21Canadian Telecom Association says devices with outdated
01:57:24software may not display correct times. For some,
01:57:27it's all reminiscent of the Y2K bug. Most people on planet
01:57:30Earth don't even realize that this is an issue,
01:57:32and that's part of the problem. They're going to wake up and
01:57:36something is going to be wrong. They're not going to understand
01:57:39why. Tech experts recommend you install software updates and
01:57:42reboot your system if necessary. If you're working across time zones,
01:57:46make sure to tell the person on the other end that BC is now on
01:57:51PCT Pacific Time. Amelia, John. CBC News, Vancouver.
01:57:59You can sit in my seat if you want. There,
01:58:00these young Islanders and their families got to take part in a
01:58:04special airport experience. Autism Aviators is a travel day
01:58:07for people with autism. But this is about the journey more
01:58:11than the destination. This year they actually got to go up in a
01:58:15plane for the first time. The whole entire airplane was
01:58:18filled with children of all kinds of special needs and they
01:58:22all did amazing. So it prepares the parents of,
01:58:25you know, what they need to bring. Maybe
01:58:27they need to bring extra snacks. Maybe they need to bring their
01:58:31headphones or a device or their favorite blanket. It gives you
01:58:34a chance to see what does my child actually need on a flight.
01:58:37Demmings was on the plane with her son,
01:58:40who has nonverbal autism. It was actually his first flight
01:58:43and he loved it. A lot of good memories. We took videos and
01:58:46pictures and I'm still showing him
01:58:49this is what we did that day and the smile,
01:58:51it lit up his face. Like every time we see it,
01:58:54he's just so excited and he laughs about it. So I'm excited
01:58:57to take him for his next flight. About 30 families took part and
01:59:0180 people went on the short 45 minute flight in the air across
01:59:05PEI to Nova Scotia and back. Families get to do things like
01:59:08check in and go through security. The hope is to go
01:59:11through some of the challenges of flying and minimize anxiety
01:59:15for families while traveling. It's creating that opportunity
01:59:18to feel included in your community, supported with your child's
01:59:22needs and more understanding the ability to prepare in
01:59:25advance. And a lot of times, kids with autism can struggle
01:59:28with change and transitions, but having someone support them
01:59:31through what's going to happen, what could happen,
01:59:33that can set them up to be successful. And I was there as
01:59:36I was able to experience the the level of stress just
01:59:39reduced from the families as the day went on. There was lots
01:59:42of smiles, lots of laughter, and I think it was an overall
01:59:45positive experience for many. As for Demmings,
01:59:48her dream has always been to take her
01:59:50on to Disney World. She now feels much more prepared to do
01:59:53that and highly recommends the experience. Like when the plane
01:59:57took off and went to the speed, they were just all excited and
02:00:01he loved it. And now I have the confidence to take him on
02:00:04another trip. Connor Lamont, CBC News, Charlottetown.
