- Description
- The political focus in Canada is now on Alberta, as voters choose whether to stay in the country or move ahead with a binding referendum on independence. Prime Minister Mark Carney is clear on where he stands, and is delivering his message on a campaign-style swing through the province ahead of Monday’s vote, urging voters to not only stay in Confederation, but also to vote “no” to the other nine questions put on the ballot by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. David Akin reports.
While the ballot question on separation is getting the bulk of the attention, five other questions pertain to immigration policy – including whether social services should be cut for temporary residents. And the premier is urging Albertans to support her government's measures. But as Heather Yourex-West explains, Smith is facing pushback from some high-profile politicians: former provincial premiers.

- After facing a storm of criticism this month, the Pentagon says it will no longer be livestreaming the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan.
U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed the previously planned livestream had been shelved after America’s human rights record was thrust under an international spotlight.
Trump, however, said the execution can be viewed in person by immediate families of the victims, “if they so choose.”
Reggie Cecchini reports ahead of Hasan's scheduled Dec. 3 execution.

- Thursday saw the latest in a string of suspected Russian drone strikes on cargo ships in the Black Sea, this time off the coast of NATO member Romania.
This comes on a week when the United States has bought Russian diesel, allegedly withheld intelligence from Ukraine, and is being accused of restricting access to the military version of the Starlink satellite system.
With the Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire now over, Kyiv says Moscow continuously violated the deal since Sunday. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he would consider extending the deal if the U.S. supplies it with Patriot defence missiles.

- Description
- A late-night fire that tore through an abandoned building in Toronto’s Riverside neighbourhood is now being investigated by police as a suspicious incident.
The fire broke out just after 9:30 p.m. Wednesday night, prompting a three-alarm response from firefighters. The northbound lanes of the Don Valley Parkway were closed as a result, allowing crews to surround the building and fight the blaze from all sides.
One man in his thirties was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and the fire has since been extinguished, but crews say the structural integrity of the building has been compromised.
The historic building stood for over 130 years but had been vacant for years — last operating as a live event space and coffee company.
Global’s Kevin Gallagher reports on police suspicion surrounding the fire.

- Albanian students expressed deep frustration with Edi Rama on Thursday as thousands of protesters clashed with riot police in Tirana, demanding the prime minister's resignation after 14 years in power.
"We're just done with him," protester Migerta Demalia told Reuters as smoke rose from burning structures around the capital.
The student-led demonstrations turned violent as many involved started smashing windows, set fire to kiosks and garbage containers, and ripped metal fences from pavements, prompting police to respond with water cannons and tear gas. Many young Albanians said they saw no future in their country under Rama's leadership.
The demonstrators accuse officials of corruption and neglecting education, and are angry about the sale of parts of Albania's southern coastline to a luxury resort development.
Rama rejected calls to resign, saying his responsibility was to "Listen, address legitimate concerns and keep Albania mo...

- Minister of Industry of Canada Mélanie Joly spoke about possible penalties for Stelco after the Ontario-based steel manufacturer announced last month that pressure from U.S. tariffs had forced it to concentrate steel production at its Lake Erie Works plant in Haldimand and halt production at its plant in Hamilton.
“It is our opinion that the commitments by Stelco, under the Investment Canada Act, are broken. And in that sense, we don’t think any market conditions or a different business plan can explain the behaviour of Stelco. The CEO has been clear, he has been advocating for the imposition of U.S. tariffs on steel and steel makers here in Canada,” Joly said.
Joly continued, “We’re reviewing this Stelco letter that was sent to us… A few possible options of a court process would include: First, forced compliance of undertakings. Second: Financial penalties. And third, and more importantly, forcing divestiture, forcing Stelco to sell its assets ...

- Prime Minister Mark Carney joined Blake Lough on Global News Morning Thursday to discuss his views on the Alberta Referendum, and why he’s calling for national unity at rallies in the lead-up to Oct. 19.
The prime minister laid out a series of announcements made over the course of the past year that directly involve Alberta, including the Pacific link oil pipeline, defence agreements in Calgary and affordable housing in Red Deer.
“Alberta at the heart of Canada is stronger. Canada is stronger because of Alberta,” Carney said, “it has a bigger impact because Alberta's part of Canada and I'm just excited about the opportunities for this province and for this country.”
Carney drew parallels between Alberta’s upcoming referendum and the Brexit referendum in 2016.
