Global National: Sept. 24, 2022 | Storm Fiona leaves Atlantic Canada without power amid devastation
CA, 25 Sep 2022
In tonight’s top story: Residents in Atlantic Canada woke up to trees snapped like twigs as hurricane Fiona struck as fiercely as predicted.
It made landfall early Saturday as a post-tropical storm, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power, and more outages reported than hurricane Dorian hit the region in 2019.
Ross Lord reports on the extent of damage and destruction the hurricane left behind.
Eastern New Brunswick felt the brunt of Fiona as it made landfall in that province earlier today.
Near Shediac, winds toppled trees and waves battered boats. Some areas are flooded with water rising to knee level. The storm has knocked out power to more than 50 thousand people. Anthony Farnell reports.
It's been three weeks since the deadly attacks at James Smith Cree Nation and the nearby town of Weldon in Saskatchewan.
In that time the RCMP have not provided many answers about what happened. Speaking only to Global News, the wife of one of the suspects says she called RCMP before the attacks began. Nathaniel Dove has the story.
There is growing dissent on the streets of Moscow where at least 1,500 protesters have been arrested as the Kremlin orchestrates what the west has labelled “sham referendums” in rebel-held regions of Ukraine.
And as Reggie Cecchini reports, Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure are being shelled as the Russian president ramps up his assault to seize more territory.
Statistics Canada revealed the results of its 2021 census of Indigenous peoples, finding across the country that the number of First Nations, Métis and Inuit people surpassed the rate of growth by non-indigenous Canadians.
But as Heather Yourex-West reports, the supply of quality housing isn't keeping pace.
Plus, One of the most iconic tennis players to ever grace the court has played his final match.
Roger Federer announced his retirement from the sport he dominated for more than 20 years with his friend and rival Rafael Nadal.
So of course, the pair teamed up for one more game yesterday. They lost, but as Mike Drolet explains, it was the last thing on anyone's mind.
