Not only did the collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge destroy a major transportation artery, it also shut down the Port of Baltimore — one of America’s largest ports. Cargo traffic has been completely cut off in the wake of the catastrophe, with no estimate on when it will start moving again. Anne Gaviola has more on the ramifications for the local economy and the global supply chain.
The Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA) gave out almost $50 million to nearly 900,000 businesses to help them stay afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic. But as Abigail Bimman explains, while the federal government extended the repayment deadline, it now looms again for tens of thousands of businesses struggling to pay it back.
The public inquiry into alleged foreign interference in Canada's 2019 and 2021 federal elections has begun its second round of hearings in Ottawa. As David Akin explains, members of diaspora communities testified about how their lives have been affected.
It has been nearly four years since a gunman disguised as a police officer killed 22 people over a 13-hour period in Nova Scotia. RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme admits the force made mistakes during Canada's worst mass shooting and has changed since then. But as Heidi Petracek reports, victims' families have lost faith in the RCMP.
Ottawa has helped 82 Canadians escape Haiti, where out-of-control gang violence has descended the nation into chaos. Mike Armstrong looks at how some Canadians plotted their own exit strategy and why Haiti's crisis doesn't appear to be ending anytime soon.
Plus, Canadian podcaster Craig Baird has reflected the unique characteristics of Canada's provinces and territories by using artificial intelligence to generate a different Easter Bunny for every corner of the country. But the creation for Manitoba is more alarming than charming. Melissa Ridgen goes down the rabbit hole for reaction to what's being called the "psychopathic bunny."

Now they're worried about bridge safety in Canada,which is ridiculous. No bridge is strong enough to survive a hit by a huge cargo ship.The bridges are fine under normal circumstances. But I bet our silly federal government will waste millions on an inquiry to find out what I just wrote.
-
Why isn’t it top news? 50 mil to 900 000 businesses vs 3 billion to foreign aid? I am confused.
-
The big mistake was forgetting about the workers , seems traffic was successfully stopped
-
yes, that was very confusing to me when I heard that the length of time was much longer then the video which was speed up showed Did no one who was notified know that there was a work crew on the bridge?.. The cars were all stopped before the ship hit the post.. A lapse of communication is my quess
-
Tragic. Prayers for all the victims and their families. Not sure why they weren't ordered off the bridge with the lock down 🤦🏿♂️.
-
Montreal port already specializes in exporting vehicles. I'm sure they can handle some imports as well.
-
it was 30 minutes not a few short minutes....be accurate when you speak you are suppose to be professional
-
This was NO ACCIDENT people!
-
That's about the size of container ship you need once you transfer nearly all your manufacturing to Asia.
-
That was on purpose
-
Telling them what you want it to look like
-
How is it everyone entering both ends of the bridge were warned in advance of this eminent collision these bridge workers missed the warnings and blasting ship horns ,.?
-
Now they dont have to steal vehicles from Canadian homes. They can ship them directly from the Montreal port to overseas.
-
This is heartbreaking
-
Pissed off ?? I understand emotion but this was a freak accident, Its not like that Bridge was built yesterday for ships that ran in the 1900's.. You should be proud that he was better then the others and making a difference.
-
yet another excuse to jack up the price of EVERYTHING!
-
May Love Peace Prevail in The World....
-
