For the first time in three years, thousands of people were able to party without COVID-19 restrictions at the Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa. David Akin explains why this year’s event changed venues, how it made history, and how it recognized the road to truth and reconciliation with Indigenous communities.
Police in Ottawa also say they were ready for the anti-government demonstrators expected to make their voices heard on Canada Day. While the morning started quietly, Abigail Bimman looks at how crowds grew as the day progressed.
In Ukraine, Calgary trucker Matthew McGill is among thousands of volunteers who have joined the country’s international legion, to defend it against Russia’s invasion. Seán O’Shea spoke with McGill about what drove him to the front lines, and his harrowing experiences in this war.
The trial has begun in Russia for WNBA star Brittney Griner, who’s facing drug smuggling charges. Griner’s wife, along with critics, says the athlete is a political pawn. Her arrest was a week before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Crystal Goomansingh looks at the fight for Griner’s freedom, and the legal odds against her.
When Britain handed Hong Kong back to China’s rule, China promised the territory’s independence would be preserved for at least 50 years. Instead, Beijing has rolled back democratic freedoms. On the city-state’s 25th anniversary of the handover, experts say this serves as a warning for China’s intentions with Taiwan. Jackson Proskow reports.
And after a long hiatus due to the pandemic, many people from coast to coast to coast were once again able to celebrate Canada’s birthday together, while subdued events acknowledged the work that still needs to be done for Indigenous people. Heather Yourex-West reports.

Not being offensive but what is government doing about overwhelming immigration from countries like india. Where is diversity in immigration
Hahaha, Trudeau is a disgrace. Pure political pandering. They tried to shut down parliament hill but more Freedom people showed up than Trudeaus crappy and desperate attempt. What a joke. Cope harder.
Wow quite the narrative global. The picnic was canceled because the city denied their permit at the last minute even after accepting the money for it.
Maybe the Ukraine should stop using civilian areas to hide.
Trudeau is a joke 🤮
Why is this national/international imbaresment trudo not in prison for human rights abuses
i dont agree with the trucker convoys at all, but man does it ever feel like this Tamara person in a political prisoner, it doesn't feel right for some reason.
GO UKRAINE.We love you
Why is this criminal walking around free on Canada Day. He needs to be thrown out of Parliament, jailed and put on death row!
wow, way to misrepresent what actually was going on. It was packed and was peaceful everywhere. Choosing to create misinform news is forever videoed for the future to bear witness to what happened in these historic times. That will be your stamp on history. This. the lies. It was Peaceful, fun, and felt like community. It felt like Canada. It was a fun day to walk around and see it all.
FJT!
there no reconcilation if the whole Canadian in Canada need reconcilation and Trud is not doing it !!
That man hates this country and “ old stock Canadians “. He will be removed soon. Freedom fighters will overcome. The small fringe minority… ya right.
Get lost Trudope
sorry but I do not want Trudeaus face to ruin my holiday and also, the deep state's Face Recognition Technology is not fingering me as a person with 'unacceptable views' and lastly I may or may not be tempted to bring my chunk.
Zorra can afford 4 days a week work is because they are getting paid by taxpayers like us! we works 6 days a week and get taxed heavily so those government worker can have the luxury lifestyle!
It does not feel like Canada , and it won't be for much longer. We need to vote out the Liberals, who are really Marxists.
FAKE SOLDIER ALERT ⚠️ 📢
Russians are going to save the world
AS msm view counts are dwindling you can only blame yourselves for not being needed any longer as most cant be bothered because we all search for truth not PROPAGANDA
** Trudeau. Happy Canada Day, people.
Trudeau must step down
FJT 🖕🍁
Ya if that's true the way the flag represents then get out Trudeau cause you don't represent the flag but to take it down the way you lead canada
It's not "organized" because so many people are fed up with Trudeau. It's a wave of Canadians waking up. The family picnic was cancelled because the city pulled the permit at 4am, so the families had no choice but to walk the streets of Ottawa. The Truckers are uniting Canadians, not dividing them.
Turdo makes my skin crawl so sad he has ruined Canada . The people are not protesting GOVERMENT . They are protesting TRUDEAU! BUT YOU WOULDNT CARE ABOUT ACTUAL TRUTHFUL JOURNALISM. YOU ARE NOT A NEWS CHANNEL
Trudeau… you are WRONG …very much you are WRONG
I feel like PUKING just looking at Trudeau's TWO FACED mug…he is a LIAR like the father of lies
Global news try telling the truth now and then.
What hypocrisy!! Absolutely no coverage or respect for a fellow Canadian veteran like James Topp and yet you speak of those fighting in Ukraine…absolutely deplorable…Ukraine is not the only war that has ever been fought; let's remember history and those who died for us then…shame on all of you…you read the "news" like you are robots…don't even realize how much you are contradicting yourselves…the world is NOT watching you because you are not REAL journalists with integrity or respect…

Global news still pretending canadians don't hate that man.
It was very canadian to destroy libya and make it a failed state well good
Fock Global
Mainstream liars
Truedeu is ruining our country !!! Yet you still continue to support him and lie for him !!!
This Governor General is the same !
The reason it is a small crowd because everyone is protesting against it and it was 1000 of not 10,000 of people protesting !
Global news you are disgusting !!!!
You really truly should be ashamed of yourself report the truth sad to see how many journalist and police have sold out for a paycheque
Bill C-11 is in effect to collapse Canadian democracy
Trudeau you coward…. you communist, woke, criminal.
Jughead blows Trudeau hard 👍 👌
Canada is over
Im leaving. Free wihile you can
What a country, police using metal detectors on children going in parliament hill.
I am the way the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but through me
(words of Holy Jesus+ the Saviour) John 14:6 Holy Bible
Oh stop ,Indians lost the war so be grateful that the Europeans decided to assimilate indigenous people instead of wiping every last one of them out! If u lose a war whinning and complaining about it for a hundred and fifty years is stupid

Or natzis trampling old people with their horses
More and more natzis joining the police force in Canada
