Indigenous Veterans Day, More U.S. flight cancellations, Small town hockey, and more

First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples have a long history of military service to this country. Though every major conflict -- and in times of peace. From before Canada was even a country, up to the present day. Their contributions are being honoured across the country today - as part of Indigenous Veterans Day.

Also: Canadians so far are dodging the worst of American flight cancellations brought on by a U.S. government shut down that shows no signs of ending. But hundreds of flights are still being cancelled or delayed for many Americans - as the busiest travel holiday of the year looms.

And: It's far from the bright lights of the NHL. But for fans of the Northern Premier Hockey League, it might be even better. Putting up high quality games and fierce local rivalries in some of Ontario and Quebec's smallest hockey towns. We'll take you to Lindsay, Ontario for one of them.

Plus: Microplastics in Nova Scotia lobsters, the CFL's financial woes, and more.
