Edmonton food bank expansion, Burnout among Winnipeg first responders, Italian journalist arrested in Iran, and more

A food bank in Edmonton is planning a massive expansion to meet a growing demand for its services. Advocates are hoping the new year, and a potential federal election, could turn the page on Canada's food insecurity crisis. Also: In Winnipeg, paramedics and firefighters were off the job for thousands of hours last year due to psychological injuries. And while those workers take time to recover, the understaffed system is put under further strain, creating a cycle of burnout. And: The arrest of an Italian journalist in Iran is straining relations between the two countries. Some observers believe the timing of her imprisonment is not a coincidence. Plus: Americans pay their respects to former president Jimmy Carter, the latest developments of political turmoil in South Korea, and more.

Warning labels for alcohol, Liberals want a new leader, votes for a U.S. speaker, and more

The U.S. Surgeon General says alcoholic drinks should come with a warning label about the risk they carry of causing cancer. Vivek Murthy also wants the guidelines on alcohol consumption limits reassessed. He says people need to be better informed before buying the drinks so they can weigh the cancer risk. His proposal for a label requires an approval from the U.S. Congress. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is back in Ottawa and pressure is mounting for him to go. He made a brief public appearance to sign a book of condolences for former U.S. president Jimmy Carter, who died days ago, but he didn’t say anything. And: U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson was reelected to the top job. But only by a hair. He was able to flip two holdouts and won reelection with the minimum number of votes needed: 218. Also: South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol avoided arrest on Friday after an almost six-hour standoff between investigators trying to detain him and presidential guards. He is the first sitting president in South Korea to have an arrest warrant issued for him. He is under criminal investigation for insurrection for his short-lived martial law decree. Plus: The latest on the New Orleans attack, and is Siri listening in on your conversations?

New Orleans truck attack, Las Vegas explosion, Jurassic discovery, and more

The FBI says it now believes the suspect in the New Orleans truck attack acted alone. A 42-year-old army vet ploughed his truck into a crowd, killing 14 people. The attacker was apparently inspired by ISIS. The group was at one point considered defeated in the Middle East, but has been actively recruiting people online. Even in Canada, where RCMP arrested an 18-year-old for planning to travel and join the group outside the country. Police say so far there is no evidence of a connection between the New Orleans attack and an explosion outside a Trump tower in Las Vegas. Police say a man inside a Tesla Cybertruck likely shot himself just before the vehicle exploded. The blast injured seven people nearby. And: A B.C. teen is out of intensive care after contracting avian flu. She went into the hospital in November, and was on supplemental oxygen for over a month. There is still no information on how she contracted it, but there is no evidence that anyone else was infected. Also: Jurassic footmark: About 200 dinosaur footprints have been discovered in a quarry north of London, England. The prints belong to cetiosaurs and megalosaurs, which lived 160 million years ago. The footprints are big enough for the archaeologists to sit in, and should give them information about how dinosaurs walked, and maybe even where they were going. Plus: The popularity of Nordic spas, and should you try that new year’s detox diet?

Trump gets ready to move back to the White House, diabetes increases around the globe, menopause marketing and more

In a matter of weeks, Donald Trump will be sworn in as president of the United States. And he's poised to trigger what many think will be a rapid-fire series of drastic changes. It's not an over-statement to say people around the world are watching closely. And: A ground-breaking global study on diabetes has found that rates doubled over the past 30 years. And millions of people aren't getting the treatment they need. Also: Menopause has long been a taboo topic in the medical community. But that's starting to change. As doctors are having more open conversations about dealing with menopause, health care companies are marketing a growing list of remedies that offer relief - but don’t always work. Plus: Settler violence in the West Bank, professional women’s hockey, and more.

Quebec Liberals want Trudeau to quit, Alberta EV tax, Puerto Rico blackout and more

The Quebec Liberal caucus is the latest to decide that Justin Trudeau should step down as leader. A recent opinion poll shows his popularity at an all-time low. What’s next for the prime minister? And: Alberta introduces a tax on electric vehicles. The province says EVs are harder on roads than gas-powered vehicles because of their heavy batteries, and the money will help with maintenance. EV advocates say gasoline vehicles impose a different cost on society — by polluting the air and environment. Also: Most of Puerto Rico has no power after a grid failure. The cause is likely malfunctioning equipment. Puerto Rico’s energy infrastructure was heavily damaged by Hurricane Maria in 2017. It’s struggled to get back to full strength ever since. Plus: Exoskeletons for kids with mobility issues, tracking seniors electronically, a look back at the year in climate news, and more.

South Korean families demand answers, global reaction to Jimmy Carter death, warmer weather hurts outdoor rinks, and more

South Korea's acting president orders an inspection of the country's entire airline operation system, after the deadliest air disaster in the country. Families of victims say they aren’t getting enough information about what happened. Some experts are saying a bird strike alone shouldn’t have been enough to bring down such a large plane. And: Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter will lie in state before his funeral January 9th. World leaders are reacting after his death at 100 was announced yesterday. His legacy includes an accord between Israel and Egypt — which could inspire hope for future deals in the region. Also: Our warming climate means winter just doesn’t pack as much of a punch as it used to. And warmer conditions mean trouble for something quintessentially Canadian: being able to skate outside. Cities are being forced to adapt or admit defeat entirely. Plus: Bird flu in pet food, U.S. Republicans fight over immigration policy, a golden age for women’s sport, and more.

Your reporting is fear monger. You talk like everything is an emergency and doomsday is approaching. And hearing all negative comments about president Trump is who has not even been the president for a month yet is very uncomfortable to hear.

We are incredibly lucky in this country to have a publicly-funded, independent broadcaster like the CBC. It is a pillar of a healthy democracy. It’s a shame that not everyone in Canada understands this
