Millions of Canadians from the Prairies all the way to the East coast are bracing for a fierce blast of winter tonight, as part of a deep freeze that’s affecting tens-of-millions on both sides of the border. Over in the U.S., the anticipated winter blast is already bearing down as officials urge citizens to be prepared. Catherine Urquhart has our top story tonight.
In Quebec, emergency rooms are reporting serious overcrowding, with many operating at close to 200 per cent capacity on Saturday. Patients are having to wait hours for help, or in some cases, being sent home without seeing a doctor.
Over in Calgary, a mother of three and her father were remembered last night during a vigil. Police believe they were victims of a targeted attack allegedly carried out by the woman’s husband. Just days later, a similar tragedy in Halifax is further raising alarms about the growing issue of intimate partner violence across Canada. As Scott Roberts reports, advocates are calling for changes to the legal system to better address the pressing concern.
Plus, the sudden death of Douglas Eustache — a residential school survivor — remains shrouded in mystery. Despite initial claims by the RCMP in Kamloops, B.C. that no foul play was involved, relatives and neighbours say there are too many unanswered questions. As the coroner’s investigation moves into 2025, some say this case highlights ongoing challenges within the justice system for indigenous communities. Neetu Garcha reports.
And, ribbon skirts have been worn by First Nations and Métis women, girls and gender-diverse people for generations. Here, Anna Mandin spoke to a pair of seamstresses in New Brunswick to find out exactly what the day means to them.

Canadians please support homegrown products. Adjust your meals accordingly—this is about our dignity and pride.
Politicians: This is a wake-up call. Accelerate pipeline projects and strengthen commercial ties with Europe, Asia, and Africa. Put our differences aside and
remove inter-provincial trade barriers.

2025 feels like a game of thrones title, Fire and Ice

Nothing new , cold winter winter cold
It looks like winter does not care about climate change agenda … It comes back every year 😮
Oh my god its winter !!! Its the end of the world !!! So damn dramatic
the police should be indigenous for the indigenous population , if not it is a crime ………
Canadian Residents should be educated about Emergency cases, to avoid overcrowding. Having a sore throat or a runny nose is not an Emergency cases.
global warming ? ………….
Global cooling. You nuts
Of course, we know that racism and unfairness should not exist, but because for now, it still does; why don't the various Indigenous groups create their own investigative/ intervention team? To investigate and intercede where necessary? I know there are a few Indigenous lawyers who could probably do this or at least set it up.
That’s Global Warming.
R.I.P.JIMMY….

Better give the Yukon Ministers a call on what to do. 😂
What a bunch of wimps. Canadians should be used to cold weather. If your not adapted to snow, ice and cold freezing snow and rain then your not yet a true Canadian.
Love and Hope for all Canadians is what we need. Lets keep it going. Don't listen to the negative PC and NDP.
“ nicest guy”? What? Got nothing appropriate thing today, stay in silence.
This is just normal in canada
