Global National: Nov. 22, 2022 | Youth allege they were overmedicated at Ontario group home chain

Global News published this video item, entitled “Global National: Nov. 22, 2022 | Youth allege they were overmedicated at Ontario group home chain” – below is their description.

Global News investigates a group home operator accused of overmedicating children and teens in care, while not providing enough access to therapy. We hear from some former workers and residents of Hatts Off homes. We also confront the psychiatrist who wrote the prescriptions and who calls the claims “nonsense.”

At the Emergencies Act inquiry, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino testified it became “virtually impossible” to enforce the law in Ottawa during February’s convoy protests. What Mendicino’s tipping point was during the demonstrations, and why “Freedom Convoy” lawyer Brendan Miller was ejected from the proceedings.

The federal government will expand its carbon pricing plan to Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Why those provincial governments are disappointed.

Plus, a plastic pollution solution: how the University of British Columbia has teamed up with the Wet’suwet’en First Nation to create biofoam—a new, biodegradable packaging material. How it’s made, the hope it will one day replace Styrofoam, and how the idea came to life.

And whoa, what a catch! See the giant, 30-kilogram goldfish one angler fetched in France.

In This Story: Freedom Convoy

A series of ongoing protests and blockades in Canada against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and restrictions, called the Freedom Convoy by organizers, broke out in early 2022. The convoy was created to protest vaccine mandates for crossing the United States border, but became a protest about COVID-19 mandates in general.

There has been a lot of interest in these protests, in particular from American and broadly right-wing or centre-right media outlets. The numbers of participants has been widely exaggerated by these outlets, while the original spike of protesters present was certainly numbered in thousands at the end of January, this number quickly dwindled to a hard core or participants numbered in hundreds, who have remained in place until the middle of February 2022.
