Global National: March 30, 2022| Canada's former top soldier pleads guilty to obstruction of justice

Following an investigation into allegations involving sexual misconduct, retired Gen. Jonathan Vance, Canada's former chief of the defence staff, has pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice. Mercedes Stephenson explains what Vance's sentence will be, and why he won't have a criminal record.

Meanwhile, more than two months after 93 potential burial sites were found at the former St. Joseph's Mission Residential School in British Columbia, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is now visiting the nearby Williams Lake First Nation. Kamil Karamali reports on the emotional meetings with residential school survivors, and the multi-million dollar pledge Trudeau made.

In Ukraine's conflict - despite claiming it would scale back its military operations around Ukraine's war-torn capital city, Russia has continued bombarding areas near Kyiv. Redmond Shannon reports on where the two sides stand on the future of Crimea and Donbas, and what U.S. intelligence is saying about the information Russian President Vladimir Putin is getting about his troops.

Economic sanctions are bringing hardship to Russia, and the consequences are going beyond that country's borders. Eric Sorensen explains how Germany is preparing for an energy crisis, activating an emergency plan, and warning of possible gas rationing.

With the BA.2 Omicron subvariant now the dominant strain in the U.S., there are concerns of another COVID-19 surge this spring. Jackson Proskow looks at the push to get Americans to take a fourth dose of the vaccine.

And as meetings between Canada's Indigenous leaders and Pope Francis continue, Phil Fontaine, the former national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, is among many residential school survivors who's long sought an apology from the Catholic Church. He's met the Pope before, and as Crystal Goomansingh explains from Italy, Fontaine is hoping this trip will be different.

That's nice, that they didn't destroy his record.

See the government
Has to contribute because previous governments, British governments, and the leaders and managers of those schools are all responsible to find out what happened.

I remember that people used to be able to buy a house with one person and one job.
They just had to work for it.
Now, you have to have four people with four jobs each!
