He asked, “If it [carbon tax] gets that high and people are all starving in the streets, will that stop the forest fires?” Trudeau defended the policy, claiming rebates help Canadians while fighting climate change.

Singapore Airlines CEO issues apology, passengers recount “traumatic” turbulence incident Global News 2024-05-22 | Singapore Airlines CEO Goh Choon Phong issued an apology on Tuesday, one day after a flight heading from London to Singapore encountered severe turbulence, injuring 30 passengers and killing a 73-year-old British man.“On behalf of Singapore Airlines, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased,” Phong said in a video message. “We are very sorry for the traumatic experience that everyone on board [Flight] SQ321 went through.”Recovering from their own injuries, passengers recounted their personal experiences aboard the fatal flight. “I saw people from across the aisle just going completely horizontal, hitting the ceiling and landing back down in really awkward positions,” 28-year-old passenger Dzafran Azmir told reporters. “People getting massive gashes in the head,” he added.“Every single cabin crew I saw was injured. I didn't see anybody who worked for Singapore Airlines that was not injured,” 54-year-old Andrew Davis said, adding that he comforted the wife of the deceased passenger – who was also injured – for a while.“I think this incident will prompt airlines, whether it's an official mandate or not. But airlines saying we recommend you keep your seatbelt fastened while seated. They should be saying it is mandatory,” Airlineratings Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas said.Thomas says the incident was simply weather-related and that the pilots responded as professionally as they could, adding that it will not impact their ratings. An investigation into the incident is ongoing, and Singapore Airlines is cooperating, according to the CEO.For more info, please go to globalnews.ca/news/10513914/singapore-airlines-turbulence-boeing-777-passenger-dies-flightSubscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDcLike Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQFollow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mtFollow Global News on Instagram HERE: bit.ly/2QZaZIB#GlobalNews #Travel #SingaporeAirlines

DUI downgrade: Why does the Ontario government allow judges to lower impaired driving charges? Global News 2024-05-22 | During the height of the pandemic, as COVID-19 restrictions created backlogs in the Ontario court system, the Ford government issued a new directive aimed at relieving the caseload. Prosecutors could downgrade drunk driving charges, and instead offer a plea deal to careless driving. Sparing the driver a criminal record while diverting the case away from the overloaded courts, the plea bargain could only be used in cases with non-aggravating factors. As the Ontario government is cracking down on impaired drivers with new license suspension measures, it appears the government directive issued during the pandemic may still be helping some people avoid a criminal record. Global's Colin D'Mello has the story.

World leaders react to ICC warrant against Israeli, Hamas officials: Just plain wrong Global News 2024-05-21 | Following the chief prosecutor of the world’s top war crimes court seeking arrest warrants for leaders of Israel and Hamas on Monday, world leaders reacted to the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision on Tuesday. The warrants include Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leaders for actions taken during their seven-month conflict. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called for a ceasefire in Gaza but said equating democratically-elected officials to Hamas, which Canada has deemed a terrorist group, is "troubling." Other officials echoed this sentiment, including Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who called the comparison "unacceptable."For more info, please go to globalnews.ca/news/10514595/israel-icc-warrant-request-reaction-france-supportSubscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDcLike Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQFollow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mtFollow Global News on Instagram HERE: bit.ly/2QZaZIB#ICC #Israel #Hamas
Trudeau says Trump administration could be lose-lose with tariffs on Canadian goods Global News 2024-05-21 | Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau highlighted the close ties between Canada and the U.S. while visiting an international union conference in Philadelphia, Pa., on Tuesday. According to analysts, the government has already launched a “Team Canada” charm offensive as Americans prepare for a pivotal fall election that could see former U.S. president Donald Trump return to the White House. Trudeau said in his remarks that his government knows how to make the case for a strong bilateral relationship. "The links between the Canadian and the American economy are so deep and indeed getting deeper over the past year our trade numbers have reached higher levels than any time before,” Trudeau said. “It is to the benefit of Americans and Canadians to continue to work well together regardless of who's in the White House.” “We don't have to be hypothetical about it. We can just cast our mind back to six, seven years ago when President Trump brought in two, three, two tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum,” Trudeau added. “We will be there to defend effectively against unfair or punitive tariffs on Canadians because we know it'll be a lose-lose on both sides of the border.”For more info, please go to globalnews.ca/news/10513869/trudeau-philadelphia-visitSubscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDcLike Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQFollow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mtFollow Global News on Instagram HERE: bit.ly/2QZaZIB#GlobalNews #Trudeau #Trump
Trump hush money trial: Defence rests without former president testifying Global News 2024-05-21 | Donald Trump‘s defence team rested its case in the criminal hush money trial on Tuesday without calling the former U.S. president to testify. Trump’s lawyers called two witnesses in his defence. Justice Juan Merchan said jurors would return next Tuesday to hear closing arguments, with deliberations likely beginning the following day. Trump’s lawyers had asked Merchan to dismiss the case before it reaches the jury, arguing that it rests on the testimony of a witness, the estranged former Trump fixer Michael Cohen, who has a well-documented history of lying. Such dismissal motions are rarely successful, and Merchan indicated on Monday that he was inclined to let jurors assess Cohen’s credibility for themselves. Prosecutors say his testimony is buttressed by other evidence.Global's Reggie Cecchini has more.For more info, please go to globalnews.ca/news/10514199/trump-hush-money-trial-defence-rests-caseSubscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDcLike Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQFollow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mtFollow Global News on Instagram HERE: bit.ly/2QZaZIB#GlobalNews #Trump #US
4 in 10 Canadians think a public inquiry can get to the bottom of foreign interference: poll Global News 2024-05-21 | The public inquiry into foreign interference has highlighted “troubling events” in the last two federal elections in Canada, but many Canadians doubt the commission will fully uncover how far hostile actors – primarily China – have tried to meddle in Canadian democratic institutions, a new poll suggests. Polling by Ipsos done exclusively for Global News found four in 10 Canadians say they trust that the inquiry will “get to the bottom of what has really been going on.” “Canadians are skeptical that the steps that we’re taking now will lead to better outcomes, meaning less interference or no interference by foreign governments,” senior vice-president with Ipsos Public Affairs Sean Simpson said. “I think part of the skepticism is just a lack of credibility that the federal Liberals have overall right now. They’ve lost a lot of their political capital.” Global’s Mackenzie Gray has the details.For more info, please go to globalnews.ca/news/10500884/poll-canadians-foreign-election-interference-public-inquirySubscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDcLike Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQFollow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mtFollow Global News on Instagram HERE: bit.ly/2QZaZIB#GlobalNews #Canada #ForeignInterference
