Cabinet shuffle, Christmas market attack in Germany, respiratory infections and more
Description
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has shuffled his cabinet, after a week of caucus chaos. Included is Nate Erskine-Smith as housing minister, and David McGuinty as public safety minister. We’ll talk about what it means for the future of the prime minister, and the government. More Liberal MPs are calling for Trudeau to quit, and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh says he will vote no confidence in the government at the next opportunity, which won’t be for more than a month.
And: A car plowed into a busy outdoor Christmas market in the eastern German city of Magdeburg. There are reports that more than 11 people have died, and at least 50 people were injured. Authorities believe this was an attack. The driver of the car was arrested.
Also: Holiday gatherings bring fun and food, but also a rise in illnesses like flu, COVID and RSV. The stats so far suggest a somewhat milder season, but some experts say they're worried it may not be representing what’s actually happening.
Plus: Gunshots at a Toronto Jewish school for the third time this year, U.S. government shutdown, GST cut fallout, and more.
