He may have black fur, but he'll light up your day, its Sonny!

When Sonny first arrived at the shelter, he was a very shy cat, often running away from humans. But after spending time in a loving environment, he has made some great progress.

He even received an A+, being called the most improved kitty at the shelter.

Canada’s unemployment rate held steady at 6.5 per cent last month as hiring remained weak across the economy.

Statistics Canada’s labour force survey on Friday said employment rose by a modest 15,000 jobs in October.

Business, building and support services saw the largest gain in employment.

Meanwhile, finance, insurance, real estate, rental and leasing experienced the largest decline.

Many economists see weakness in the job market continuing in the short term, before the Bank of Canada’s interest rate cuts spark a rebound in economic growth next year.
