Ahead of the midterms, we travelled to Colorado to interview an 84-year-old abortion doctor who has been risking his life to help patients since 1973 and feels his work is now more important than ever. @kathayles https://t.co/L1AMKIHSDD
Chief anchor/senior editor Lisa LaFlamme says CTV told her July 29 (while on vacation, presumably) that her contract is not being renewed. LaFlamme, 58, says she was "blindsided" and "crushed" but thanks viewers who followed her work in the top job for more than a decade.
“My state just showed up and boldly told me that they are going to take care of me.”

Time to bust another police myth! Cops constantly talk up the dangers of the job (the thin blue line & putting their lives on the line from a “dangerous criminal element”). Truth is that being a cop is NOT EVEN in the top 8 most dangerous jobs. Let’s highlight the ones that are:
He tortured animals, was suspended for using the N-word, had a psychiatric eval after threatening a mass shooting - yet his parents bought him a rifle at 16.

TOPS is the only major grocery store on the east side of Buffalo, which Johnson says was an overdue addition serving the predominantly Black area.
“People depend on this grocery store… and now this happens in a community that's impoverished.”
TOPS Friendly Markets fed Stevo Johnson’s neighbourhood and employed his students, aunt and nephew. Now, it’s the location of a racially motivated attack.
“There's no way you can process this,” says Johnson. “it's evil is hateful and it's just corrupt.”
