Hurricane Melissa's destruction; Hoekstra's tirade about anti-tariff ad


Listen Later

Hurricane Melissa is one of the most intense storms to ever hit the Caribbean. Jackson Proskow shows you the trail of devastation left behind in Jamaica, Haiti, and Cuba; and tells you where the storm is headed now. The Bank of Canada slashes its trendsetting interest rate again. Anne Gaviola explains why, and whether more cuts are coming. Prime Minister Mark Carney had dinner with U.S. President Donald Trump in South Korea. The meal was hosted by South Korean President Lee Jae Myung. So how did things go? Mackenzie Gray reports from Gyeongju. Ontario Premier Doug Ford is calling on U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra to apologize for going on a profanity-laced tirade over the Ontario government's anti-tariff ad. While teachers have been mandated back at work across Alberta, an even bigger labour problem could be brewing. As Heather Yourex-West explains, the provincial government's use of the notwithstanding clause has led to a coalition of Alberta unions threatening to organize a general strike. Canadian-made sniper rifles are being used by Russians on the battlefield in Ukraine despite sanctions banning military exports to Russia. Jeff Semple explains why Russia doesn't use domestic rifles, and how the firearms manufacturer is reacting to the revelation. Plus, grit and glamour: Eric Sorensen reports on the celebrities watching the World Series, as the Toronto Blue Jays dodged defeat last night to even the score.
