Global National: Dec. 7, 2023 | Food prices to rise at slower rate in Canada next year, report says
Though many Canadians are already struggling to pay for food and more price increases are expected, the 2024 Food Price Report indicates costs will rise at a slower pace next year. Heidi Petracek speaks with some Canadians about their frustrations over sticker shock, as signs point to some relief on the way. The federal government's newly announced cap-and-trade framework, aimed at reducing Canada's emissions, is not being well received by the country's oil patch in Alberta. David Akin explains how the proposed plan would work for the oil and gas industry and the environment and why Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is vowing to fight back. Canada's proposal for a cap-and-trade plan on emissions is being met with mixed reactions, as oil and gas production remains a linchpin of the country's economy. Eric Sorensen looks at what industry critics and environmental advocates think about the draft regulations' potential impact. As Israel's war on Hamas enters its third month, there is growing international pressure on Israel to avoid worsening Gaza's already-dire humanitarian crisis. Dawna Friesen looks at the violent fighting in the territory's south, while Daniele Hamamdjian reports on growing tensions between Israel and the United Nations over the assault. While one in five families reported experiencing food insecurity in Canada during 2022, Indigenous families were twice as likely to report not being able to afford food, according to Statistics Canada. Jeff Semple looks at how surging food prices are disproportionally affecting Indigenous children in Canada's north. Plus, while TV workers are used to getting a wide range of feedback from viewers, Global Calgary traffic reporter Leslie Horton is receiving a wave of support for her viral on-air clapback to an email body-shaming her. Dawna Friesen speaks with Horton about what made her speak out, the positive feedback she has received since, and her takeaway from the situation.
