Global National: July 22, 2022 | Canadians dying in emergency rooms from previously avoidable deaths

On tonight's top story: Canadians are learning of yet another health-care tragedy. With health-care resources pushed past the breaking point, this summer is becoming a grim ritual of deaths that have been considered avoidable in Canadian hospitals. As Ross Lord reports, making matters worse is that those who speak out are sometimes being shouted down by government and health-care authorities.

In the U.S., the Jan. 6 hearings wrapped up for the summer with another day of jaw-dropping testimony and video evidence testimony. Outtakes of Donald Trump's video message to his supporters on the night of the Capitol riot were shown as a key piece of evidence. Jackson Proskow reports.

One month after the federal government froze its funding for Hockey Canada following allegations of sexual abuse, it has done the same for Gymnastics Canada. Ottawa says the organization needs to commit independent investigation into abuse allegations before it can access the money. At the same time, the organization's own athletes are escalating their calls for action. David Akin explains.

Passengers and crew aboard a ferry sailing from Nova Scotia to Prince Edward Island had a frightening experience after a fire broke out onboard and they had to abandon ship. In all, 182 passengers and 18 crew were on the Northumberland Ferry when a fire erupted in the engine room before the ship ran aground. It was all hands on deck to get everyone off the ferry quickly, and safely. Alicia Draus has the details.

Finally, a Canadian badly wounded while serving with the Ukrainian armed forces is recovering in an Ottawa hospital tonight. The retired veteran who served three decades with the Canadian forces was a part of the international legion, a contingent of global troops helping to fight Russian forces in Ukraine. Jeff Semple has his remarkable rescue story in this Global News exclusive.

Instead of improving the Canadian health system, crime minister of Canada is improving war in Ukraine.

[brianward]

It’s this funny they mention this guy for running across Canada but never once has the msm mentioned James Top who recently walked across Canada !!!! 🙄

[brenthastings]

Safe and effective turns into sudden adult death syndrome.

Someone show me the data that shows firing unvaccinated health care workers hasn't caused more harm to patients and will continue to do so in the coming months and years.

[victorrivera]

Why not suing the health ministers, premier, and Primer Minister? Class action suing

[mmvqiyb]

maybe you should have listened to the drs and nurses you fired and censored. This is a total disgrace

[sherlockhoax]

I would suggest staying away from emergency rooms.

[sharicebillett]

Oh come on! This has been going on for decades in many provinces, Canada has more than Ontario, We can wait at times for 8 to 10 hrs. I worked ambulance for 20 yrs, . You have no idea how many people die due to the health care deficiency, not just nursing. Canada has more than 1 province and more than 1 problem in health care, not just nursing issues.

[derrickgardener]

Massive increase in SADS 17-35. PLEASE explain !!!!

[robperry]

Emergency wards would work with correct funding and a government not in bed with global health authorities.

[lukewarmwater]

Stay safe everybody there's no one to fix you if you get hurt or sick!

[KarenSmith-kucb]

You should be reporting on the 3 doctors who all died in the same week right after their 4th mandatory boosters at Trillium health partners, mississauga

[akhilgeorge]

Thousands of international doctors and nurses still wasting their carrier and skills in warehouses and restaurents due to unrealistic licensing requirements of various provinces, canada is wasting the resources.

[goldenzhong]

There are thousands of foreign trained doctors and nurses among the new immigrants! We need to upgrade our health care system: allowing those people practice thier skills in their community and let them being a practicianer to take care Minor patients and senior people, , , release local trained doctors and nurses! Also, set up temporary military health care centers across country to help out and release the pressure built up, , ,

socialized medicine in Canada has been getting more ludicrous year after year. So, so many Canadians go to the States for treatment (Minnesota & Florida, to name 2 of them)

My mother went into hospital. Knew her heart was working at 40%. They didn't even place her on a heart monitor. Unknown time found. She went into cardiac arrest. Revived her twice. Was in ICU hooked up to machines. Conducted tests for brain activity. No brain activity. She was taken off of machines yesterday. Funeral - showing is Sunday. Monday mass and burial. Even if you are there with a loved one. You call out for help and no will come running. It's bad. Think twice before going to hospital and stay safe.

[momzilla]

Oh my! I wonder WHY the Hospitals are so short Staffed? Could it be the Jab?

[stephiegetsit]

Thanks again Kathleen Wynne. Your legacy continues. You and Dalton have destroyed health care in Ontario

[drbluechipx]

Health authorities and politicians argued that vaccine mandates for Hcws would increase patient safety. It's now become clear that it has made no significant difference in worker to patient transmission. I wonder how hour long waits for ambulances, extended surgical wait lists, and 8+ hour long waits in Emergency departments affects patient safety?

[tytto]

If you think the Canadian government care for you forget it. This is what Ford did. He made cuts to health care and we all suffer for it. Think its payback for Rob Ford. Better stay healthy as you can.
