Venezuela sifts through rubble, ER wait times lengthen, Canada’s World Cup, and more
About this episode
Venezuelans are digging through debris after two powerful earthquakes shook the capital and surrounding areas yesterday. Buildings collapsed after the magnitude 7.2 earthquake was followed by an even larger 7.5 tremor west of Caracas. Emergency crews have been scrambling through night and day to try and find survivors.
Also: Canadians are waiting even longer in emergency rooms. A new report found 1 in 10 admitted patients waited more than 48 hours. The report blames limited capacity, difficulties with standard care and Canada’s aging population.
And: After a disappointing loss to Switzerland, Canada’s World Cup men’s team is looking to their next challenge — South Africa.
Plus: Calls for a gun ban, increasing electronics prices, Carney’s update and more.
