Global National: June 4

Some Canadian veterans have travelled to Juno Beach to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, when the Allied invasion of Normandy turned the tide of the Second World War. Dawna Friesen speaks with Retired Capt. William Wilson about why making the trip was important to him. She also looks back on her recent conversation with Retired Capt. Bill Cameron, who suddenly died last week, about what he experienced during that crucial day in history. Nationalist parties are surging in politics across Europe, including Germany, where polling shows one in five people now supports the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party. How immigration is one of the biggest drivers for those shifting sentiments.

How the NDP and Bloc Québécois are demanding answers. Plus, the ethics questions about Employment, Workforce Development and Official Languages Minister Randy Boissonnault’s business dealings. The texts obtained in a Global News investigation — and his response. And how Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is declaring victory in the country’s elections, despite not landing a majority. What he’ll have to do if he wants to stay in power.
