Global National: June 17, 2024 | Millions of Canadians in path of "incredibly serious" heat dome
Millions of people in the Maritimes, Quebec, and Ontario are set to be caught under a stifling heat dome, which is expected to linger for days. Eric Sorensen looks at the dangers of a heat dome, how people are preparing for the abnormally high temperatures and who could be the most at risk. A prolonged drought in the Northwest Territories means almost the entire area is facing elevated fire danger, including Fort Good Hope, which is only accessible by boat or plane. Neetu Garcha explains how a raging wildfire is now threatening the tiny community. With repairs to Calgary's water main break expected to take another five weeks, concerns are mounting about how it could affect the city's lucrative tourist season. Heather Yourex-West looks at the state of repairs, how the Calgary Stampede will still go on despite the water restrictions and what the city is telling hundreds of thousands of potential tourists. Confusion is building over Green Party Leader Elizabeth May and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh sharing different takes on the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) report's uncensored findings on foreign interference. Mackenzie Gray explains how May is clarifying her previous comments, how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is disputing the allegations and whether the public will get clear answers. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dissolved his war cabinet, which was key in planning and advancing Israel's war against Hamas. Crystal Goomansingh explains what's behind Netanyahu's decision and what could lie ahead for the conflict. U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy is calling for tobacco-style warning labels on social media platforms because they have a caused a mental health crisis among young people. Jackson Proskow explains the evidence and what needs to change. Plus, rehearsals for the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games are now underway in Paris, which is bucking traditions by holding festivities along the Seine river instead of inside a stadium. Redmond Shannon looks at the ceremony's unique challenges, the security measures and the backup plans.
