Global National: July 28, 2024 | Jasper damage surveyed in 1st media tour since wildfire

oleh



In tonight’s top story: The fire in Jasper is still threatening the community, but a large contingent of fire fighters is doing what they can to gain the upper hand. Members of the media were taken on the first tour of the townsite inside Jasper National Park since it was ravaged by a wildfire, with the tour to give a closer look at the extent of the damage on Sunday afternoon. Jayme Doll reports.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced byelections in two ridings on Sunday, with voters in Winnipeg’s Elmwood-Transcona constituency and in the Montreal riding of LaSalle—Émard—Verdun to choose new members of parliament on Sept. 16. After a shocking upset last month when the Liberals lost what was thought to be a safe seat in Toronto—St. Paul’s, all eyes will be on these two upcoming by-elections. Melissa Ridgen explains.

In Halifax, the 41st annual Africville reunion on Saturday night came to a violent end when shots were fired into the crowd, injuring five people. Police say only one of those injuries was life threatening, but the incident has left community members shaken and disturbed. Emma Convey reports.

In Paris, most of the world’s attention for the Olympics was likely laser-focused on women’s gymnastics, as American athlete Simone Biles made her long-awaited comeback. The 27-year-old, who is considered one of the best gymnasts of all time, withdrew from the previous Olympics due to a psychological condition that affected her performance. Now she is back on the mat once again, with some of the world’s biggest stars eager to see her in action. Crystal Goomansingh reports.

Israel says it has struck targets deep inside Lebanon Sunday, in retaliation for Saturday’s rocket strike inside the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights that killed a group of children playing soccer. The U.S. Secretary of State says every indication is that the killings are the work of Iran-backed Hezbollah militants, while Hezbollah says it is not to blame. The killing of the children came on the same day Israel bombed a field hospital inside Gaza, killing at least 30 people. Redmond Shannon reports on how this is raising fears of an escalation in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

Cities across Canada have long tried to figure out how to tackle homelessness. In recent months, cities like Vancouver, Edmonton, and Montreal have seen encampments grow under dangerous conditions before being dismantled, leaving people who already have nowhere to go in dire straits. The problem is paralleled in the U.S., where the state with America’s largest homeless population is now cracking down on encampments. Bianca Facchinei explains why, and the backlash that it’s facing.

  3. homelessness is ultimately the society's fault (shockingly) : we could not help those who are most vulnerable then we just decide to sweep them under the rug, they were already forgotten part of society, removing them? what does that even mean. that shows who we are as people of 1st world country not our shinny right or left politician, do we really care about each other?

  5. I’m glad the gas stations weren’t damaged in Jasper cause that would really mess things up. I would vote Green but since no else is doing it I won’t too. Cheers.

  6. Feel bad for the residents and town people…..too bad the incompetence of the Federal Gov't and Parks Canada and the intentional destruction through arson will not be investigated and those responsible will not be prosecuted.

    Something is definitely wrong with this whole event. Just like the Maui fire and other ones around the world.

    Its an evil agenda

  9. Looky Loos.

    Surely all of us know by now how devastating this situation is by the imagery were seeing taken by those working in the disaster area.

    People have lost everything they have. They're in shock, traumatized and grieving. They should be the FIRST to see the ruins of their homes and businesses – should they CHOOSE.

    If its safe for bureacrats and reporters to go there, WHY are residents who lost homes or businesses not allowed in FIRST?????

    Instead, the first to tour are a wave of Bureaucrats. And then the second to tour is buses of reporters. Those who lost homes and businesses get to see whats left of their lives, through images, on the news or social media.

    I found this distasteful with the Fort Mac fires and now here again.
