In the news today: Carney in Turkey, Fatal base fire update, Arctic sensor stations
Here is a roundup of stories from The Canadian Press designed to bring you up to speed …
Carney confident in Candu for Turkish power plant
Prime Minister Mark Carney says a Canadian company's bid to supply nuclear energy to Turkey has a real shot of winning the lucrative tender.
Carney is meeting with Turkish business leaders in Istanbul today, a day after he announced a new strategic partnership between Canada and Turkey to deepen co-operation on a range of files.
Energy is one of the pillars of that agreement, and he says the AtkinsRéalis bid to supply two planned Turkish power plants with the Candu nuclear reactor now has "good chances" of succeeding.
Carney is in Turkey for a three-day trip to strike a new strategic partnership and pursue free trade with the NATO ally.

Family says soldier killed in fire lived his dream
The mother of a Canadian soldier killed in a fire at a military base in Alberta says his lifelong goal was to join the Forces and wear his uniform with pride.
Patricia Farrell says her son, Private Shaun Farrell, lived with dyslexia and Asperger's syndrome, and overcame any obstacle in his way.
The 23-year-old was one of four soldiers killed Saturday when a grass fire, fanned by high winds, at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright overtook a live-fire training exercise on a nearby grenade range.
Out of the 84 soldiers on the exercise, 39 were sent to hospital.

Carney sees 'no merit' in U.S. politics interference claim
Prime Minister Mark Carney says there is "no merit" to American claims that Canadians might be interfering in U.S. politics ahead of November's midterm elections.
Officials in the Trump administration, including U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra, have claimed Canadian politicians are interfering in the democratic process south of the border.
Hoekstra has said the administration is watching Canadian politicians closely ahead of the midterms and warned them to butt out of American politics.
Carney has consistently rebutted accusations of electoral interference and told reporters in Turkey today that he's "disappointed" the U.S. envoy is spreading those claims.

Military may deploy Arctic sensor stations in 2027
National Defence could start installing 47 new sensor stations across the North as early as next summer.
It's called Project Crossbow and it's part of a wider plan to bolster Norad’s surveillance and early warning abilities.
Documents National Defence filed with a Nunavut regulatory board detail some of the plans, although much about the new sensors remains classified.
The installations would start in Yukon near the Alaskan border and follow along the Arctic coast across the Northwest Territories, reaching as far out as Alert, Nvt.

Ottawa says it's working with EU on foreign aid
Canada's closer ties with Europe could help fill some of the gaps left behind as the United States withdraws from foreign aid, says the secretary of state for international development.
Randeep Sarai says Canada is talking with the European Union about leveraging private and philanthropic dollars for foreign aid.
U.S. foreign aid spending dropped 57 per cent in 20-25 after Washington dismantled USAID, an action Harvard University researchers say caused hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is cutting global health spending while encouraging private investment, and Sarai says European officials have looked to him for guidance on the file.

La meilleure université au Canada en 2027 est à Montréal, selon un nouveau palmarès
Et elle n’est pas la seule université du Québec dans le top 15. 🎓
Un nouveau palmarès vient de désigner la meilleure grande université au Canada pour 2027, et c’est à Montréal qu’elle se trouve. L’établissement bicentenaire y devance notamment l’université qui domine la plupart des autres classements récents au pays, l’Université de Toronto.
À lire également : Le top des universités au pays pour 2027 est sorti et voici où se classent celles du Québec
Le Québec a d’ailleurs de quoi se réjouir, puisque d’autres établissements de la province figurent aussi dans ce classement des meilleures grandes universités canadiennes de Maclean's publié le 14 octobre dernier.
C’est l’Université McGill qui décroche le premier rang du palmarès 2027 dans la catégorie des grandes universités. L’Université de Toronto suit en deuxième position, alors que l’Université de la Colombie-Britannique complète le podium.
Ce résultat tranche avec d’autres palmarès publiés récemment. Dans le classement mondial 2027 du Times Higher Education, l’Université de Toronto se hissait au 22e rang, contre le 43e pour McGill.
Plus tôt cette année, CourseCompare avait aussi placé l’université torontoise en tête au Canada pour une deuxième année de suite, devant McGill. L’écart était encore plus grand dans le palmarès mondial 2026 de TIME et Statista, où Toronto occupait la 24e place et McGill, la 154e.
Pourquoi McGill arrive-t-elle en tête?
L’université montréalaise domine cinq indicateurs : les prix étudiants, les taux de rétention et de diplomation, le ratio étudiants-professeurs et les acquisitions des bibliothèques.
Elle arrive aussi deuxième pour les prix du corps professoral, l’impact de la recherche, les dépenses des bibliothèques et les bourses. Les services aux étudiants et étudiantes demeurent toutefois son point faible, avec une 13e place ex aequo sur 15 établissements.
L’Université de Toronto conserve l’avantage pour les prix du corps professoral, le volume de recherche et la réputation, où McGill termine troisième.
Maclean's rappelle également que le personnel enseignant et les diplômés et diplômées de McGill ont remporté dix prix Nobel et que l’établissement a formé plus de boursiers et boursières Rhodes et de personnes lauréates du Nobel que toute autre université canadienne.
Le magazine souligne aussi son emplacement entre le mont Royal et le centre-ville, ainsi que les loyers montréalais, généralement plus abordables que dans les autres grandes villes canadiennes.
Côté droits de scolarité, une année à McGill coûte 5 480 $ pour la population étudiante québécoise et 15 153,17 $ pour celle des autres provinces, frais obligatoires inclus. À l’Université de Toronto, la facture atteint respectivement 8 140 $ pour les résidents et résidentes de l’Ontario et 9 290 $ pour les autres Canadiens et Canadiennes.
Trois autres universités québécoises au palmarès
Au total, quatre établissements du Québec figurent au classement, dont trois à Montréal. L’Université Laval, à Québec, se classe au 11e rang.
L’Université de Montréal la suit de près, en 12e position. Elle se démarque toutefois en terminant première au Canada pour les subventions en sciences sociales et humaines, en plus d’occuper le cinquième rang pour son ratio entre la population étudiante et le corps professoral.
L’Université Concordia ferme la marche au 15e rang, mais elle arrive quatrième au pays pour l’impact de sa recherche. C’est aussi l’établissement le plus abordable du classement pour les étudiants et étudiantes du Québec, avec des droits de scolarité de 3 026 $.
Comment fonctionne le classement de Maclean’s
La catégorie des grandes universités regroupe les établissements qui comptent plus de 30 000 étudiants et étudiantes.
Chacun est noté selon 14 indicateurs, dont les prix remportés par la population étudiante, les taux de rétention et de diplomation, le ratio étudiants-professeurs, les subventions de recherche, le budget de fonctionnement, les dépenses des bibliothèques, les bourses et les services offerts aux étudiants et étudiantes.
Un sondage sur la réputation des établissements, mené par la firme Angus Reid auprès de membres du corps professoral et de personnes responsables de l’embauche, entre aussi dans le calcul.
Les meilleures grandes universités au Canada en 2027
Voici le classement complet des grandes universités canadiennes selon Maclean's.
- Université McGill
- Université de Toronto
- Université de la Colombie-Britannique
- Université de Waterloo
- Université Queen’s
- Université de l’Alberta
- Université McMaster
- Université d’Ottawa
- Université de Calgary
- Université Western

- Université York
- Université métropolitaine de Toronto

Le départ volontaire d'Éloïse et Charles d'OD suscite des réactions surprenantes
L'émission d'OD Chez Nous du dimanche 1er novembre était très attendue par le public de la téléréalité. On prévoyait une élimination double et le départ d'Éloïse et Charles d'OD, tant attendu, a créé des réactions mitigées chez les fans.
Le « leader » et la « tricheuse » ont quitté le jeu de leur plein gré, quand Éloïse a réalisé au souper d'élimination avec Jay Du Temple que sa situation était plus grave qu'elle ne l'anticipait. Charles a suivi sa blonde; c'est donc trois candidats qui ont quitté l'aventure, Luis Maxime étant également éliminé.
Trois départs en une soirée, c'était beaucoup d'émotions pour les participants d'Occupation Double, ainsi que pour les auditeurs québécois.
La sélection de l'éditeur : Jay Du Temple fait réagir le public avec un commentaire sur la tricherie d'Éloïse à OD
En général, les gens sont heureux de voir le couple partir.
Mais aussi, plusieurs personnes souhaitent bon courage au couple et les remercient d'avoir donné au public un aussi bon show cette année.

Il y en a même qui pensent que l'émission sera moins croustillante après leur départ.
D'autres se sont prononcés sur les commentaires haineux que Charles et Éloïse reçoivent.
Deux anciennes candidates d'OD Afrique du Sud, Claudie et Camille, ont expliqué dans leurs storys Instagram du 1er novembre que ces commentaires méchants avaient de gros impacts et pouvaient affecter la santé mentale des candidats les recevant.
Elles demandent aux gens de cesser les messages haineux.
On peut aussi lire une grande quantité de commentaires félicitant Jay Du Temple et la production d'Occupation Double pour la façon dont ils ont géré la situation d'Éloïse.
