Global National: July 14, 2023 | Major cleanup underway across Ontario, Quebec in tornado aftermath

A major cleanup is underway in parts of southern Ontario and Quebec on Friday after two tornadoes ripped through the region. The severe weather may have settled, but as Touria Izri reports, researchers say intense storm fronts are becoming more frequent — and are shifting east.

In Russia, it appears President Vladimir Putin is distancing himself from the Wagner group, once so critical to his war on Ukraine. Putin now says the private military group simply "does not exist." Meanwhile, more than 500 days into Russia’s invasion, Ukraine says it's making slow progress with the addition of the controversial cluster munitions.

Housing prices aren't expected to fall anytime soon, as a lack of supply still hampers several major markets across the country. It’s affecting both buyers and renters, who continue to struggle to find affordable housing options. Heather Yourex-West reports.

In February, Surrey police service constable Dilbag "Dylan" Hothi died by suicide while at a shooting range in Langley. The incident happened as the former Mountie was facing a breach of trust charge following months of investigation into his behaviour. Now as Catherine Urquhart reports, court documents in the case have been unsealed by a judge.

Humans have extracted trillions of tonnes of groundwater for farming and drinking — so much water that scientists are now saying it has shifted the tilt of the entire planet, moving the “rotation axis” or “north pole.” As Jackson Proskow explains, the planet's wandering axis could have unintended consequences.

The only reason the houses are destroyed is because you use cardboard to build them. Use bricks man.

When big companies like Nestle pump millions of gallons of water from a country and ship it else where in the world it upsets each eco system. They should be forced to return all water they removed from each country.

Bishing about housing while keeping door wide open for immigration.. rich

I really think if a university wants X number of students (tuition) then they should have to have housing available for those students.

And the uncontrollable forest fires in northern quebec are barely even mentioned anymore... the Cree people have mostly all been evacuated from their homes.

These houses cost Canadians hundreds of thousands and they get damaged in seconds. Should Canadians pay that much for these houses?

[joeschlepp]

all slumlords jacking up the rent rates thru the roof putting people out onto the street should be prosecuted for profiteering and their rental properties napalmed.

They say groundwater. How about oil ???

Canada should build more housing and rent them out to people on some discounted form to help out in physically demanding work environments. Canada needs maintance and construction all type workers before and after in which they do and maintance people to maintain the areas that are in place and are growing. Mr. Trudeau is a Smart Man.

seems we need more leniency in maid for young people than street drugs

All the refugees are available for cleanup duties, let them earn their keep.
