It's Friday, November 6th. Good morning. Welcome to the weekend. It's 10 degrees right now in Brantford, 10 in Hamilton, 9 in Kitchener. The dollar 71.13 cents U.S. gas down 7 cents to $1.61. I'm Stacey Englehart. A cadet leader faces a long recovery after a violent attack in Hamilton that police say stemmed from a confrontation over the harassment of young Remembrance Day poppy sellers. Hamilton police have charged a 12-year-old boy and a 48-year-old woman and described the victim's injuries as life-altering. A GoFundMe page has been set up. 28-year-old from Brant County charged in connection to multiple sex assault investigations involving teen girls. Brantford police worry there are additional victims and have released the name of the man. Osama Khan of Paris has been charged. As of yesterday, he remained in custody. The day after the Feds unveiled its latest budget, Liberals expected to fan out across the country to start selling its pitch. Ottawa's budget documents more than $142 billion in new measures aimed at spurring investment in small business, addressing homelessness and promoting Canada's culture. Opposition leaders said the government's spending plan falls short, particularly on supporting Canadians. While mailing a letter gets more expensive next year, the budget proposes an increase to the cost of a stamp from $1.44 to $2 next year, with a 7% a year increase in the years that follow. And a new poll shows more than 1/4 of Canadians subscribe to four or more streaming services, compared to 17% in 2022. The Angus Reid survey showed the number of Canadians that have canceled at least one subscription in the last six months has gone up from 32 to 37% Two-thirds say cost is the reason. And about half of Canadians now subscribe to cable or satellite TV. That's down from 88% in 2012 and 71% in 2018. Light 92 Sports, NHL last night. Montreal edged Utah 5-4 in overtime.

Right now, it's 10 degrees in Brantford, 10 in Hamilton. It's 9 in Kitchener. I'm Stacey Englehart.
