Voters in Alberta are deciding who their next Premier will be

It was a four-week Alberta election campaign that some described as the most divisive in recent memory. And it all comes to an end tonight.

It’s election day in Alberta and voters will finally find out who will lead the province for the next four years. Polls in the province are open until 7pm Pacific Time, and results are expected to start trickling in shortly after the polls close.

Global News will have comprehensive coverage across all platforms: online, on TV and on Charles Adler Tonight and the Shift with Drex.

Let’s find out what the mood is like in Edmonton this morning. A few moments ago, I spoke with Emma Graney, the legislative reporter for the Edmonton Journal.

One-third of British Columbians cover their laptop camera because of privacy concerns: poll

A new survey of British Columbians by the Insights West polling company suggests that there are widespread concerns about the privacy of information they share online.

There's also concerns about the accuracy of news and information on social media, and many people are worried that the cameras on their laptops and phones could be used to spy on them.

Chapter 4

Murder charges laid against suspect in Penticton shootings

That's Penticton RCMP Superintendent Ted De Jager, talking about what happened yesterday morning where 4 people in their 60's and 70's, were gunned down in two separate locations kilometres-apart.

He says 68-year-old John Brittain, who turned himself in yesterday at noon, appeared in court this morning to face three counts of first degree murder and one count of second degree murder.

De Jager says police are confident the person they have in custody acted alone.

The case is now before the courts, but relatives of one of the victims who identify him as Rudi Winter, say they believe it stems from a long-standing neighbour dispute.

Winter was gunned down at 10:30 yesterday morning while pruning a tree, and the three other victims were subsequently found several kilomtres away at a home at the south end of the city.

Brittain is a former employee of the City of Penticton and current is employed as a part-time civil engineer with Ecora Engineering and Resource Group Ltd. in Penticton.

Chapter 6

Canada joins new alliance to save the world order — and the U.S. is not included

Canada has formally joined a German-French coalition aimed at saving the international world order from destruction by various world dictators — and the alliance does not include the United States.

The initiative is part of ongoing government efforts to shore up international co-operation at a time of waning American leadership and President Donald Trump’s outspoken disdain of institutions created after the Second World War.

Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland offered Canada’s support for the Alliance for Multilateralism during a meeting of G7 foreign ministers in France earlier this month. She avoided any direct mention of the Trump administration, as has been her approach generally in her frequent critiques of the attacks on the world’s multilateral order.
