South African anti-apartheid leader Archbishop Desmond Tutu died this weekend at the age of 90, leaving behind a powerful legacy. As ππΓ‘π πΎβππππ reports, heβs remembered around the world for a life spent fighting for equality.
A grim new record in Ontario as the province reports more than 10,000 new COVID-19 cases in a single day. But experts say the true number of cases is likely much higher, as testing centres struggle to keep up. Morgan Campbell reports on the surge and how itβs affecting the holiday weekend.
Meanwhile, surging COVID-19 case numbers in the U.S. are wreaking havoc on holiday travel. More than 1,000 flights were cancelled in the U.S. on Boxing Day, according to a flight tracking website. Jennifer Johnson reports.
With less than a week to go until 2022, itβs time to look back at the year that was in Canadian politics. From COVID-19 and Truth and Reconciliation to climate change and the Canadian federal election, a lot has happened in 2021. Mercedes Stephen and Global Newsβ political correspondents in Ottawa look back at the moments that stood out.
And finally, another sign of the troubling changes underway in Hong Kongβ three universities removed public monuments commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen massacre. As Mike Armstrong explains, it points to a further erosion of the βone country, two systemsβ principle that was supposed to apply to Hong Kong.

I think that China can do what they want, you cannot erase history, no matter how hard they try!!! All this does is bring people together!
boxing day deals are things that dont get sold for a reason or another! if you want good then you pay on any day! dont infect yourself by some nonvaxer that is old and doesnt care or has been involved in ignorance due to religion missunderstood or peerpressure.
He was a great and good man
British never should have returned Hong Kong to the Chinese.
Does she think Omicron sees an invisible 6 foot barrier and stops spreading? Two years into this pandemic, and this is the level of understanding of virus spread!
A bunch of incurious frauds who call themselves journalists. Discussion about the vitriol towards our politicians was a joke, never asked the question, why?
Desmond Tutu dead at 90. The Legacy of a Noble Peace Prize
South Africa continues to spiral in Violence.
βWe are on the verge of eating each other,β community leader Nhlanhla Lux told the Financial Times as he and a group of other armed men dug in to defend the Maponya Mall in Soweto from looters.
From its origin in Zumaβs home in KwaZulu-Natal province, the unrest has since spread to cities across the nation, including Johannesburg, reportedly killing at least 117 people and choking major commercial roads, leading to dire shortages of food and fuel.
What a waste of a Noble Peace Prize, South Africa is back to Neanderthal Times.
Desmond Tutu his land back to Violence, what did he achieve??
Violance in canadian politics is always UNACCEPTABLE, and across party lines we should all dipose such hateful undemocratic acts.
The world's scandamic is still Being used to Control the population…… Fear mongering How sad..
So…..
The tests that don't work will show a variant of the covid that they can't detect.
Equality? Having spent many years and a good portion of my life acquiring a level of attainment the last thing that I wish for is equality. Under equality everyone is equal. Equality, then, would place me back at the same level as a doorman.
Maybe a warm place in hell is waiting for the Archbishop who failed to condemn necklacing of people by anti Apartheid activists. Say Hi to Winnie.
Another dead Freemason.
Dis entire national is gone
His stance on LGBT lifestyles went against the teaching of the Bible.
throught out history different governments do what they want. governments have the
power..
Its a complete lie to blame the once who want take the poison. this media is controlled by the government to push their evil agenda.
Tripled Vaxxed 4.5 Times More Likely to Test Positive for Omicron than Unvaxxed.
Politicians deserve a-lot worse. All of them are guilty of scamming the Canadian people and filling there own pockets at our expense. It's time for the system to be re-written. If a politician is caught doing any crime it should be held to the highest standard of the Law Times 10!!
βThe current Omicron outbreak is largely an epidemic of the vaccinated and is being driven, not by the unvaccinated, but by those who have been double and triple jabbed.β
The numbers completely demolish claims that the Omicron outbreak is a βpandemic of the unvaccinatedβ…
this man stood up against isreal occupation , where most are silent and cowerdice …this man spoke with dignity n truth…..all praise to him
Saint Joseph. Terror of demons…Pray for our Family.. .
Why not to allow us to move out of Canada? If I want to leave this Nazi country why do you hold me here?
Who cares
You miss our culture, ohh,well, it's a little different now we don't have maple syrup anymore it's not allowed now we have gulab jamon. The flag is different too, now it has a picture of a big bowl of butter chicken.
To HELL with him, he wasn't Holy at All.
Boy, has Coleen Christie gone far. Starting in The Beverly in Edmonton to here. Shocked, I thought that she would have retired by now. Coleen must love her work. You looks as lovely today as back in Edmonton β truly amazing. Timeless! Sorry to hear of the passing of a human rights icon like Desmond Tutu.
We tried to tell everyone about what would happen if you were going to travel and what will happen if you don't get home!!!!? Why couldn't you just stay home it would have been a lot better than infecting or getting the omicron virus!!?? It's just so simple people!! Dying is not the answer to your family and friends! Best think nextime!! What's worth more!!!??? Living/ dying?? Think everyone!!! Get your BOOSTERs people!!!! THINK!!!!???ππ¨π¦πβοΈπβ―οΈβΎοΈπποΈπΉπππ
i have noticed strict compliance at the early days declining to maybe one in ten that wears any face covering. It is even less than that at church
We, as healthy people don't need face covering unless we are sick.. and if we are sick we generally would remain out of public spaces. Common sense
And if we see someone wearing a facemask, we
will avoid them, thinking they are sick….but when
people wear masks when
they are not sick…??
And we force children to wear masks whether they are sick or not? ?
It is the rulers of our society who are sick..
πΏπ¦ π΅πΈ RIP Desmond Tutu
RIP
South Africa was better off under Apartheid
