Global National: Oct. 3

History has been made on both Parliament Hill and Capitol Hill. First, Liberal MP Greg Fergus is the new Speaker of the House of Commons, replacing Anthony Rota, who stepped down after celebrating a Ukrainian veteran who served in a Nazi unit during the Second World War. The light-hearted and serious comments Fergus made about his new role, how he’s making history, and what he says he’ll try to do as Speaker. In an unprecedented move over in Washington, D.C., the U.S. House of Representatives has voted to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker, a job he relentlessly campaigned for and held for barely nine months. What led up to this decision, what McCarthy is being accused of, how the White House reacted, and the search for a successor. Toronto’s afternoon rush hour was thrown into chaos after CN Rail experienced a network-wide system failure. The frustrated commuters, and the potentially pricey alternative for people trying to get home. Plus, history will be made in Manitoba, as the province heads to the polls. The swing ridings, and why one Ontario First Nation will be watching the results with significant interest. And break out the Blood Marys! How police took “stalk” of an enormous pile of celery that spilled onto an Ontario highway.
