Global News published this video item, entitled “Global National: July 27, 2022 | Pope Francis continues Canada trip of “penance” in Quebec City” – below is their description.
In our top story: Pope Francis has arrived in Quebec City as he continues his Canadian trip with the focus on Indigenous Peoples and residential school survivors. He met with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Gov. Gen. Mary Simon and residential school survivors, and once again apologized and asked for forgiveness for the Catholic Church’s role in the school system. Mike Armstrong reports on how Quebec was once the most religious part of Canada and yet is now the least religious, even though it doesn’t always feel that way.
There are damning new details about Hockey Canada’s handling of sexual assault allegations. The governing body paid out more than $7 million in nine sex abuse settlements dating back to the 1980s. As Shallima Maharaj reports, MPs want to know why the board hasn’t been more transparent.
In B.C., two men are facing charges Wednesday in the murder of Ripudaman Singh Malik, who was gunned down outside of his business earlier this month in Surrey. Malik himself had been acquitted of murder charges in the 1985 Air India bombings. As Kamil Karamali reports, this isn’t the accused’s first run-in with the law.
On Monday, Pope Francis delivered his first apology on Canadian soil to residential school survivors in Maskwacis, Alta. But it was a moment that followed his words that garnered global attention. As the program with the pontiff drew to a close, a woman could be heard singing over the crowd. It sounded like “O Canada,” but there was a deeper message behind her performance. Heather Yourex-West introduces us to the woman behind the emotional moment seen around the world.
The Holy Father will leave Quebec on Friday and head to Iqaluit where he’ll speak with some of Nunavut’s residential school survivors— many of whom say they were beaten and abused just for speaking their own language. Today, there are more than 70 Indigenous languages spoken across Canada, though many are considered endangered by the UN. Jeff Semple reports on a group of Inuit he met on a trip to Nunavut who are working to protect their language in the age of social media.
