In the news today: clocks stay put, trade deal nears, Michigan race to watch

Prime Minister Mark Carney travels to Antigua and Barbuda today for a Commonwealth heads of government meeting focused on trade and investment with representatives from fifty-six countries.
President Donald Trump stated Sunday that the United States and Canada have the "concept of a very good deal" and are "very close" to reaching one; Carney confirmed on social media he held a "good conversation" with Trump regarding trade.
Ongoing Canada-U.S. trade disputes have emerged as a key issue ahead of Tuesday's midterm elections in the United States. In Michigan, Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed's primary opponent, Haley Stevens, endorsed Republican Mike Rogers on Sunday.
Polling indicates Democrats are favored to take the House, where a net gain of three seats would secure a majority. The election outcome could determine whether Democrats rein in Trump's use of executive power for the remainder of his term.
Six federal byelections were called by Prime Minister Mark Carney for December 7 across Quebec, Ontario, and Saskatchewan. Carney's Liberals currently hold a majority government after winning three byelections earlier this year, though these contests will test the party's standing.
