Global National: May 13, 2024 | Western Canada wildfire evacuees wait for word on fate of homes

From British Columbia to Manitoba, wildfire season is off to an early and fierce start, with thousands of people already ordered out of their homes. Neetu Garcha looks at how evacuees are coping and what could fan the flames.
The hush money trial against former U.S. president Donald Trump has now heard dramatic testimony from Michael Cohen, his former lawyer, fixer, and confidante. As Jackson Proskow reports, Cohen explained the lengths he says he went to protect Trump.
People in Rafah say Israeli bombardments of the city are intensifying, ahead of what's expected to be a major military operation by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Redmond Shannon reports on the growing panic inside Rafah, the United Nations (UN) worker killed by Israeli forces and the lack of critical aid reaching Gaza.
The criminal trial has begun for Pat King, a key organizer of the "Freedom Convoy" that paralyzed downtown Ottawa in February 2022. Mackenzie Gray reports on what happened during the first day of the case, what the Crown is trying to prove and what to expect in the weeks to come.
As pro-Palestinian encampments on U.S. post-secondary campuses show no signs of giving in, similar protests are growing at institutions across Canada. As Mike Armstrong reports, patience is wearing thin for university administrators who are now taking steps to take these camps apart.
Plus, May marks Gaelic Nova Scotia Month. Megan King explains how the government is on a mission to preserve and protect a critical component of the province's identity and culture.

[@iRexM]

@@pattygreen8064 The only way I can understand your mind frame is you must think that child is subhuman... but ill give you the benefit of the doubt. Maybe, just maybe filming a child buried under ruble asking for his dead mother might potentially wake up the rest of humanity to start protecting the children without thinking of politics first. If he didn't film it, you wouldn't have seen it. Its a child buried under ruble with a dead mother bud, this isn't a movie.

[@narissasummerhays3476]

It would be helpful if you took a little time to learn about the Palestinian situation. Is…. Has Not allowed mainstream media to go into ga.. or the W bank to document or investigate what’s going on. What happened on 7oc was a painful tragedy. The truth about the tragedy of the past 75 years may shock you. Our networks have blocked a lot of information from us till now and it’s still limited and often biased Destroying aid for people who are starving, is disgusting! Freedom to peacefully demonstrate is our right. Shame on the universities for their actions. Lobbyist are the reason, in my view. Money talks

[@pattygreen8064]

@@iRexM maybe point your fingers towards the cowards that are using that child as a shield. but yeah its an obviously set up propaganda video and a bad one. not saying kids aren't dying and that that isn't horrible but who is really responsible for that? they get warnings to evacuate that's more than hamas ever gives.

Canada's pandemic response, including following health measures as well as getting vaccinated, was successful based on the only measure that counts: deaths. US deaths from COVID-19: over 1.1 million. Canadian deaths from COVID-19: over 55,000. Those annoying restrictions and the vaccines saved many lives. You should acknowledge that. The incessant whining about health measures, the ridiculous conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and the misinformation about the vaccines is tiresome.

The convoy participants have a right to free expression and peaceful assembly. But their trucks don’t. "These rights don’t allow Canadians to, in the words of Conservative leaders themselves, illegally occupy and hold a city under siege for over three weeks or to park 500 heavy trucks, fuel and propane in dense residential areas and next to government buildings while police tell the public they cannot remove them for fear of violence and rioting or to blockade our international borders and disrupt trade for extended periods until their demands are met. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms strikes a balance between individual freedoms and collective interests; it’s not a blank cheque for Canadians to do whatever they want."
