Canada that use the voice of Ronald Reagan. To criticize tariffs,
Trump accuses Canada of trying to interfere with the Supreme Court,
which is considering whether his tariffs are legal.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
At ABC's Maggie Ruley, Canada has been doubling down on
efforts to take its international trade elsewhere as relations with
the United States sour. This probably explains why President Trump
has given Prime Minister Mark Kearney the cold shoulder of
late in his offer of a friendly World Series bet

So the weekend, it's just about here. A trip to

Is it a group effort or a solo flight. WBC's
Drew mo'holland speaks more in the trend of going it
(03:11):
alone at the bar. Good morning, Andrew, Morning, Jeffrey.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Good Friday.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Story here.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Joe Flacco was a forty year old NFL quarterback traded
by the Cleveland Browns earlier this season to the Cincinnati Bengals.
He has kids in school, a wife, and they all
decided as a family to keep the kids in the
school they've been at, and that leaves Joe Flacco alone
a lot. He misses his family, but he told reporters
this week, you know what, it's not all bad.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
I tell you. I tell people all the time. I
used to see guys sitting at a bar by themselves,
or you know, just sitting by themselves, eating and grabbing
a little meal, and like, man, I feel so bad
for that guy. You almost want to go join them.
And now I realize, like that dude was in heaven.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Found a new hobby.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Oh, Joe Flacco enjoying a little alone time.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Very good, Drew, Thank you. It's going to be pretty
much the perfect weekend to do a lot of fall
things outdoor. It's going to be a nice weekend, a
little bit of a ill in the air, with high
temperatures mainly in the fifties. But we're talking about pumpkin festivals,
even the Patriots game on Sunday, and any football game
really looks good this weekend. Right now, it's forty eight
here in Boston under mainly clear skies. We'll see plenty
(04:13):
of sunshine mixing with some clouds at times throughout the day.
There is a slight possibility of a pop up shower
or two this afternoon. That's about it. They will not
be widespread in nature, but just a touch and go variety.
High is ultimately about sixty degrees today, slightly cooler as
we head into the weekend. As I said, we'll see
clear skies both tomorrow and Sunday, and temperatures will be
(04:33):
in the fifties. In fact, the long range forecast does
indicate that we'll be mainly in the fifties. And Halloween,
of course, is a week from today, and we are
watching for the potential of another nor'easter headed our way.
We shall see that's a mile away. We'll keep our
eyes on it. Right now in Boston, forty eight degrees
and clear skies on this Friday morning at six oh six,
Ruffled feathers on the rails. Wbz's Matt Phipps explains last.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Ride for the nbta's Green Line D branch tonight at
eight o'clock. The suspension will run through Halloween as work
continues on the long awaited and long overdue speed control system.
Free shuttle buses will run instead between Riverside and Kenmore
during the work through next week. Matt phipps WBZ Boston's
News Radio.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warns of more airline turbulence in
the coming days, as air traffic controllers are about to
miss their first paychecks next week due to the government shutdown.
A Senate bill to pay them fails on Capitol Hill,
as does yet another vote to end the stalemate entirely.
Travel disruptions have rippled cross country, most recently affecting airports
(05:38):
in New York City, Washington, and Houston. Officials and travelers
at Logan Airports say flight delays have been barely noticeable
due to the political impact. It's been mostly due to
weather delays, and Alaska Airline says all operate. All operations
have been restored as of this morning, after the airline
grounds all its flights due to an IT issue in
(05:59):
a central data center last night. The airline, which is
the nation's fifth largest continues to advise passengers this morning
of lingering delays and disruptions as the kinks in the
system get worked out today. As by the way, it
was the second major disruption to Alaska Airlines flights so
far this year. You are now in the loop for
