Remembrance Day, climate conference, free transit, and more
Listen now
Description
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.
