Six Canadian Premiers sent a letter to Justin Trudeau warning the PM that the C-69 and C-48 legislation are threats to Canada's economic health, as well as national unity. Trudeau scoffs.

As summer pre-campaign looms, Liberals continue to trail the Conservatives everywhere in Canada except Quebec. This is according to an IPSOS poll for Global News.

The RCMP was created to control Indigenous people. Can that relationship be reset?

After massive public demonstrations and clashes with police over an extradition bill, Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam has said she is putting the legislation on hold. How much impact do public protests have?
Students from 1600 cities walked out of class over climate change in May. The Gilets Jaunes weekly and violent demonstrations in France forced the Macron government to back away from announced policies. In the U.S. in 2017, the Women's March became the largest protest in American history.

The World Health Organization has declared the growing Ebola threat in Africa, which has now crossed from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Uganda, is not yet an international health emergency. The WHO acted similarly in 2014 and was criticized for its decision which slows international response to emerging health threats.

CJOB Winnipeg's Hal Anderson joined us to speak as to how the health care system is treating a family member battling chronic pain. Meanwhile, the Chronic Pain Association of Canada announced a group of Alberta pain patients, who held a public meeting in Edmonton this week, have written a letter to the Alberta Minister of Health calling for an investigation of the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons. This is for the "secret cautioning and sanctioning of doctors trying to prescribe for Albertans suffering severe and intractable pain and unable to live without medically-managed opiates."
