Global National: Feb. 29, 2024 | Brian Mulroney, former Canadian prime minister, dead at 84
On this episode: Former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney has died at the age of 84. He served as the 18th prime minister of Canada from 1984 to 1993. Eric Sorensen look backs on the highs and lows Mulroney navigated throughout his political career, while Mercedes Stephenson reports on the tributes pouring in for Mulroney from Canadian politicians of all stripes. More than 50 child welfare insiders are telling Global News they believe for-profit group homes in Ontario are targeting, or in some cases, even charging more to care for Indigenous youth. Carolyn Jarvis reports. Gaza's already dire situation has taken another tragic turn. Hamas says Israeli forces killed more than 100 people who were rushing to aid convoys in Gaza City. Redmond Shannon reports on Israel's reaction and how these deaths could affect peace talks. For the first time since 2016, Mexican nationals will now need a visa to enter Canada. Touria Izri explains the reaction to the move and why the Canadian government decided to reinstate the requirements. More than 30 people have been arrested in Quebec during a sweeping police crackdown on a street gang believed to be behind a string of violent kidnappings. Mike Armstrong reports on who leads the Blood Family Mafia, why they are fighting the Hells Angels and what police have revealed about the drug war. Alberta has tabled its provincial budget, which the UCP government says is focused on saving for what could be a year of devastating fire and drought, as well as a future without fossil fuel wealth. Heather Yourex-West explains what it means for a long-promised tax cut and for drivers of electric vehicles. The federal government has officially tabled the long awaited national pharmacare bill, which is meant to provide better and cheaper access to medicine to Canadians. Eric Sorensen looks at some of the things that what will be covered. Plus, some Canadian companies were cut out of contracts in favour of foreign manufacturers to produce medical supplies for Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to documents Global News obtained through the Access to Information Act. As David Akin explains, the discovery is renewing calls for transparency and accountability from the federal government.
