Global National: Dec. 3, 2022 | Drastic measures being considered to tackle “tripledemic” worldwide

Global News published this video item, entitled “Global National: Dec. 3, 2022 | Drastic measures being considered to tackle “tripledemic” worldwide” – below is their description.

On this episode of Global National: There’s no doubt that the respiratory virus season is hitting hard and fast this year. It’s forcing hospitals across Canada to make some desperate changes. As Marney Blunt tells us, all this comes amid new cautions from the World Health Organization, as drastic measures are being considered worldwide to slow virus spread.

A major change is coming soon to Canada’s assisted dying laws and it’s already causing division among medical experts. By March, it will be legal for people with mental health issues to receive medical assistance in dying (MAID). But some of Canada’s top psychiatrists, and families of patients, are warning that will set a dangerous precedent. Touria Izri has more on their concerns.

For nearly three decades, the United Nations’ “COP” process has attempted to negotiate and implement treaties on climate change. This week, a similar process has begun to reduce plastic pollution across the planet — but it won’t be easy. As Redmond Shannon reports, the consumption of plastics continues to grow despite threats to our environment and health.

Plus, the world’s largest active volcano, Mauna Loa, has been a sight of beauty for thousands on Hawaii’s Big Island. But now transportation officials are concerned as lava flowing from the volcano is threatening to close the island’s main highway. The burning liquid is about 5 kilometres away from shutting it down. Jennifer Johnson has the latest.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith followed through on a campaign promise by introducing the Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act last week. Mercedes Stephenson spoke with Premier Smith about her reasoning behind the act and the message she’s sending to Ottawa.

Plus, the video could belong on any international music channel and the artists signed to any famous record label. But the talented bunch performing in the single They Fly isn’t too hard to reach. They can be easily found walking the halls of Howard S Billings High School in Châteauguay, Que. Gloria Henriquez has the story.
