Share! :D
On this episode of Global National: As truck convoy protesters against Canada's pandemic restrictions continue in Ottawa, the city's mayor, Jim Watson, is demanding demonstrators move on after disrupting the capital and the lives of its residents for a third consecutive day. As Abigail Bimman reports, the call was made after days of unrest, harassment and abuse.
Despite the protests, Canada's federal MPs are also returning to work after a six-week break. Eric Sorensen reports on how politicians are reacting to the disruptions, and what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had to say. Plus, Heather Yourex-West reports on a trucker blockade protesting Canada's COVID-19 restrictions continues casing huge backlogs and delays at a busy border crossing in Alberta.
Meanwhile, Canada's Defence Minister Anita Anand met with her Ukrainian counterpart this week, as Ottawa expands its training mission in Ukraine, with tensions rising over a possible Russian incursion. But as Crystal Goomansingh reports, Canadian troops are also being pulled back from volatile regions, with no diplomatic solution in sight.
Also, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is in hot water, as initial police reports investigating the alleged lockdown parties detail "excessive consumption of alcohol" and "failures of leadership and judgement." Redmond Shannon reports on how Johnson is trying to weather the political storm, even from within his own ranks.
Some artists are pulling their music from the popular streaming service, Spotify, protesting concerns the company is spreading COVID-19 misinformation. Ross Lord reports on the company's response, why popular podcast host Joe Rogan is at the heart of the controversy and the Canadian singers behind the backlash.
