Global National: Dec. 15

There’s been an extreme weather event hammering British Columbia’s south coast this weekend. One person is dead after a large tree branch crashed onto a home just outside of Vancouver. And along the Canada’s scenic Sea-to-Sky Highway, a major search and rescue mission is underway after a landslide sent mud, rocks and trees crashing down the mountain and blocked the highway. The debris also crashed into a home whose residents are still unaccounted for. Heather Yourex-West reports. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will table the Fall Economic Statement on Monday and has already telegraphed that rather than sticking to some self-imposed spending restraints, the government is prepared to propose new programs. David Akin reports.
