Two Canadians were killed Friday and one more wounded in a shooting at a hotel along Mexico’s Caribbean coast, state authorities said.
The suspect in the shooting was apparently a guest and Canadian police informed them he was a known felon with a long record related to robbery, drug and weapons offences. Mike Le Couteur reports on the deadly incident.
To the COVID-19 pandemic, where some indications show that the 5th wave driven by the Omicron variant may have peaked. Wastewater testing is an alternate method for tracking COVID-19 and is being championed for providing important information on outbreaks.
But as Ross Lord explains, not all health authorities are sold on its merits.
The Eastern U.S. is being slammed by snowstorms with freezing temperatures, snow and ice hitting the region from north to south.
The extreme weather is freezing roads and prompting warnings for drivers as far south as Texas and Louisiana to stay off the roads. Jennifer Johnson reports.
A CIA report reveals new details about the mysterious illness that has plagued hundreds of U.S. and Canadian diplomats. Havana Syndrome, which first emerged in Cuba in 2016, was initially feared to be a sonic attack by a foreign power against embassy staff.
As Reggie Cecchini reports, the report suggests otherwise.
More international aid has arrived in Tonga after an undersea volcanic eruption hit the pacific island. The people of Tonga are now in recovery mode, trying to clean up some of the catastrophic damage left behind. There is also another work underway to understand why the massive eruption happened.
As Mike Armstrong reports, scientists have been watching this volcano for years and some are hoping their data will lead to answers.
Plus, “Canada’s first lady of jazz,” Eleanor Collins, is getting her own commemorative stamp. Canada Post will celebrate the 102-year-old music legend at a virtual event Friday that will reveal the stamp and pay tribute to Collins’ life and career. Catherine Urquhart has more on her story.

The three times i went to Cuba I experienced the same sort feelings but blaming it on the flight and pressure etc. but one thing I did notice was the smell of fuels in the air even in Havana City, And also important to note is that the exhaust emissions are horrible , I suffered migraines a lot but loved the old cars and trucks so much I went to Havana and stood in the middle of the road for hours to experience the nostalgic feelings and photos. they should check the air quality before more blambing or starting friction between governments. God Bless All .
Probably paid by Trudeau to scare us to stay home
Why I never vacation in Mexico
What's canada going to do? They will file it under "Can't do a thing".
MEDIA WHY DON'T YOU SHOW WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Whatever happened to stay home and stay safe? I guess some people just don't learn. Going to a place known for crimes against tourists during a pandemic is just asking for it.
Of course some officials hate the sewage water testing because they can't fudge the numbers.
Growing up in Canada and playing pond hockey has taught me one thing about the ice, if it hasn’t been -20c or colder for at least 3 nights straight then stay off the ice. The edges might be ok but out in the middle the ice may be thin enough to fall through.
Instead of waste water let's use real science and stop this madness already ! This should be endemic by now, stop compliance.
Lori only cares about her job, what an insensitive things to be saying. "No, no! It's fine, you should totally come and spend your money here!" People died and all she cares about is if the number of tourists will decline.
um…murder is the norm in Mexico….why is this newsworthy???
Nice, I've been to both the Hyatt Ziva and Xcaret 3 x each. Very recently too, likely won't be going back anytime soon
1:15, well if it is not a virus it is a gunman.
Good bless America
The two Canadians killed were reportedly subjects of criminal investigations by both Canadian and U.S. law enforcement
I wouldn't go to Mexico ever. I've been to Jamaica, Cuba and DR but I don't step off the resort. Plenty to do on the resort for the week I'm there.
Good ole Mexican vacation 🤡🌍🌎🌏
dislike!
DEfund main stream media
Trucker convention Ottawa 29th of January staying until the mandates are over yahoo branded politicians they need to be put in their place !!!🤬
Keep on trucking it's about your freedom now not the vaccine.
A warning this report may be disturbing then the sound of five bangs , so disturbing indeed.
Mexico has some of the strictest gun control on the books of any country in the world.
All it has done is put innocent people in jail for arming themselves as a last resort against cartels.
So it’s Toronto south , what colour were they?
I remember
Goodluck to all for what is to come. Godspeed
We should definitely import these killers. Being murdered is Canada's strength!
7:24 wasnt this a thing this whole time??
for people who think Jamaica is unsafe…….think again. you wont see this in Jamaica.
Go truckers go! Fighting for FREEDOM
Canadians killing Canadians in Mexico. Wow.
Also the shooter is Canadian 🇨🇦😱
happy new year to all involved and affected by this. must be how god keeps the lands glorious and free. …that said, we are now awaiting the arrival of the alpha prime sinister, descending upon the area as a divine avatar, so to reenact what transpired in order to build solidarity with and awareness of the occurrence.
The RCMP have received so many citizen complaints about Trudeau’s hate speech, that they have set up a specific office dedicated to this investigation. A criminal investigation of Trudeau for hate speech is active.
Keev
Canada doesn’t want to mess with Mexico and jeopardize its coke connection.
Avoiding the Mandate Protests…Typical New's.
The shooting was part of a drug war.The victims were criminals as well as the shooter.
if omicron was discovered in november why wasnt the government informed? it seems like its news for them
Travel to a very violent country and be surprised when there is violence. Classic.
Then again its on global so its probably all lies as usual .
Isn't it a coincidence that a war is just starting to break out in Ukraine and Russia at a time like this? Almost as if they're using another War to distract us. This is what they've always been doing trying to distract us.
Huh… A paid travel advisor says not to worry about it. Weird.
If tourists just stayed home this wouldn't have happened.😆😆😆😆
ไม่นับถือศาสนาพุทธ ไม่นับถือศาสนาอิสลาม ไม่นับถือศาสนาพราหมณ์ฮินดู เป็นสัตว์ชั้นต่ำสุด ไม่เคยให้โอกาสที่2 กับใครบนโลกความจริง และโลกหลังความตายไม่ต้องกล่าวถึง
I've been to Cancun a few times. Earliest was in 2008. National guard was patrolling the beaches with M16s. Then in the plazas which are pretty nice as well, the navy was patrolling and had mp5s. I always felt pretty safe during the day. During the night? I only kept to the crowded places, but I didn't see any armed security personel like during the day.
2:03 In conclusion– Anyone and everyone can be super targeted if need be. There is a real risk for anyone traveling to Mexico the exact opposite of what this person is trying to dismiss.
News just updated on this 23 hours ago the shooters were shown and confirmed a mexican hitman hired by a Canadian women to kill the victims
Absolute not sorry for those Canadians , they have been involved in drugs there
This is Justin Trudeau speaking.
No lives matter.
MONEY, POWER, FEAR, AND SEGREGATION OVER everything.
