The FBI has released new details about the New Year’s Day mass attack in New Orleans that claimed 14 lives, revealing how the now-deceased suspect had travelled to Canada from Egypt more than a year before the attack. The purpose of the trip remains unknown as investigators piece together the assailant’s movements leading up to the tragedy, but the FBI believe the ISIS-connected assailant acted alone. Heidi Petracek has the latest.

Plus, More than 70 million Americans are in the eye of a monster winter storm Sunday night. Thirty U.S. states, from the Midwest to the East Coast, are under weather alerts. And already, states of emergencies have been declared in Kansas, Arkansas, Kentucky, Virginia and Missouri. The winter blast is being fueled by a polar vortex that has pushed arctic air down through Canada. It is expected to bring the heaviest snowfall and coldest temperatures in over a decade. Scott Roberts reports.

It has been more than one year since Quebec banned flavoured vaping products – a move met with uproar by those who used them. While the measure has changed some people’s habits for the better, others have turned to cigarettes. Matilda Cerone has the details.

Also, New York City has launched the first congestion pricing plan in the U.S., charging drivers entering parts of Manhattan during peak hours. We hear Canadian reaction on whether such a plan could work here, especially in a city famous for its own traffic challenges. Lexy Benedict reports.

  1. I am hoping that Health Canada can finally have a crackdown on vaping. So many people, especially young people, in my hometown think that valing and smoking are two completely different things and therefore they do NOT nedd to follow anti-smoking laws…. 🙄 It just gets annoying

  2. flavours in vapes have nothing to do with corporate interests… why arent you talking to people who vape… 30% of them went beck on cigarettes when flavours were banned thats horrible.. shame

  3. CTV News should quit trolling the U.S. news media and start hiring some real journalists to report some Canadian news.

    Do Canadians really need to know every minute detail of a mass-murderer in New Orleans? Has Trudeau said anything about the resignation of Freeland, have people stopped going to foodbanks, has the housing crisis been solved, everyone has a family doctor, eh? Any news?

  4. I am 100% sure that the ISIS theme was planted by the CIA, IDK why the CIA has to be there in the first place, and even worse, an Israeli journalist that entered an investigation crime place, without any proper gear to avoid tampering all evidence, and the amount of so-called "evidence' of ISIS was purely planted, it makes no sense to me the ISIS theme, when the USA government and Isn't-real has admitted of creating ISIS in the first place
