Global National: Nov. 20, 2024 | Boissonnault out of Liberal cabinet amid multiple controversies

From Global News.

In tonight’s top story: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Randy Boissonnault ‘will step away’ from his role as employment, workforce development and official languages minister, as questions mount about the Edmonton Centre MP’s alleged business dealings and Indigenous ancestry. Mackenzie Gray looks at the political fallout of the move, what’s still unclear about the departure, and the calls for Boissonnault’s resignation. In addition, Krista Hessey explains why Edmonton police are now investigating Boissonnault’s former company and business partner.

Tens of thousands of people are without power on Vancouver Island and along the southern B.C. coast, where a bomb cyclone wreaked havoc on multiple communities. Neetu Garcha looks at the power outages, the damage, the impact on travellers and the cleanup efforts underway.

In a major shift in policy, U.S. President Joe Biden has agreed to supply Ukraine with anti-personnel landmines to use against Russia. Nathaniel Dove explains why Ukraine is now getting more lethal weapons and the reaction.

Plus, the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) launched a ruthless campaign of terror in Iraq in August 2014, attempting to wipe out the Yazidi people, a religious minority group in the country. Jeff Semple has the story of one Yazidi family who survived and eventually fled to Canada, but without one of their daughters.
