Global National: Sep. 7, 2023 | Fear, anger among Calgary parents over E. coli outbreak

Anger and anxiety are mounting among Calgary parents whose children became ill from an E. coli outbreak at six daycares. At least 128 people are ill, including 25 children in the hospital. Heather Yourex-West looks at how one boy is suffering, and the concerns infected kids could develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a potentially deadly disease.

The federal government has named Marie-Josée Hogue, a judge with the Quebec Court of Appeal, to head the public inquiry into foreign interference. Touria Izri looks at what Hogue will be tasked with, how her appointment coincides with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's goal to lessen the Chinese government's influence in southeast Asia, and whether he believes Beijing has any chance of a rapprochement with Ottawa.

As the federal Conservatives soar above the Liberals in popularity polls, Tory members are gathering in Quebec City for the party's policy convention. David Akin explains the key decisions being weighed and debated.

With Canada's record-breaking wildfire season still raging, political tensions are rising over the best way to fight climate change. Eric Sorensen explains the toll wildfires are taking on the country, and how the federal Liberals and Conservatives are at odds over what to do.

Rescuers are rushing to save American scientist and cave explorer Mark Dickey, who fell ill about one kilometre below the surface of the Morca Sinkhole, Turkey's third deepest cave. Jennifer Johnson reports on his condition, and why this mission is so difficult.

Pointe-Claire is home to one of Quebec's oldest windmills, which is in dire need of TLC. The landmark was built in 1709, and is now falling apart. Mike Armstrong explains why the community can't agree on how to preserve the windmill.

Plus, Canadian literary and journalism juggernaut Peter C. Newman, who chronicled and questioned political powerhouses for decades, has died. Mike Drolet looks back at Newman's storied career, and the blunt words former prime minister Brian Mulroney once had for Newman.

I see carbon tax like the recycle fee on all the bottles.. if they really cared, they'd have made auto recycle facilities available EVERYWHERE rather than a scattered few that ppl need to drive to. If they really cared, they'd have made EV available to EVERYONE at all costs. But, nah, they just want money really.

Thank you for allowing comments on your news unlike the CBC

[TH-tlsy]

You cannot cut subsidies to the CBC. Every government Liberal or PC has given funding to the CBC. It affords us the benefit of shows like Schitz Creek, Corner Gas, Anne of Green Gabels, Heartland, Murdoch Mysteries, Just for Laughs, etc. Canadian content, Canadian Culture in a world were we are inundated by American media. There's no money for Canadian film industry without the support to the CBC.

The reality is Canada only contribute less than 2% of world emission. Canada should help US and others to remove China "Developing Country" status could 10x the result of Canada emission target.

Can't have enough fear got to keep the sheeple busy with worry . . .

[rodrigoalmanza]

Pierre Poilievre isn't one of us.

Judge Hogue was a PARTNER at Heenan-Blaikie LLP law firm...the same law firm Justin Trudeau hired to explain his sudden departure from West Point Grey Academy.
Hogue worked alongside Pierre Trudeau after his departure from politics.
The founder of this law firm, Roy Heenan also served as the First Chairman of the Trudeau Foundation...

Unbiased Judge?? Ya, right. ☹!

1. The best remedy against corruption is always sunlight. 2. Attacking media is the authoritarian’s play. 3. Fund the CBC. 4. Don’t let anyone diminish CBC’s role in keeping Canada strong.

I hate Trudeau for making me agree with Pierre PissyPants, Johnston is in no position to be the sole arbitrator of truth. Sadly, the fact is that both parties in our corporate duopoly have vested interests in China that remain undisclosed but I would say the fact that both voted for the anti-worker FIPA China trade agreement in 2012 says everything about what both parties want (corporate hegemony over workers under the guise of national trade). PP can make all the political hay he wants out of this but you can rest assured that he would do pretty much the same thing with China as his party also prefers corporations over people. Just look at Polllievere's colleague in the conservative's last government John Baird who went to a literal gold mine and Chinese billionaires office after serving as foreign Minister. You couldn't write this level of corrupt s*** and have it believable on a TV show.
The system works.

[EiskariusXolem]

With this Ecoli thing...ugh tsk tsk come on Canada! Why are we just letting everything happen like this? The incompetence across the board all over the provinces. People need to make better leadership decisions, the Right muppets aren't working out. I hope none of those kid have any serious consequences x.x Honestly thankgoodness we at least get some income help for having kids here because it does kind of allow some ppl to not have to depend on these day cares. THE IMCONPETENCE THO!

[amandasly]

Carbon tax should be only paid by the rich corporations that are creating 90% of the carbon issues.

[davidway]

Muslim day care or just all day cares.

[darrellasmith]

Why no news about VOC ban ?
We need wD-40 and Hairspray

[commonsensecraziness]

"Scientists" that have evidence that taxes effect climate change in any way should provide their data and research.

[JoniMitchell-qihr]

A survey over the last 30 years regarding babies being born needing criticalcare? As compared to the last 5 years?Has there been an increase in cases?I guess it only works when you compare equal number s
