LA fires, grocers overcharging for meat, cyberattacks on schools, and more

  • Summary

  • Two of the fires in Los Angeles are still zero per cent contained. Beyond the smoke and flames, there are worries about water quality, and electricity. And fighting an urban wildfire has its own challenges — including fire hydrants that aren’t able to provide enough water for the scale of the destruction. Canada has offered help.


    And: A CBC investigation shows Loblaws and other grocery stores are selling underweighted meat — meaning it’s not as heavy as they are charging for. They are including the packaging in the weight, which is not allowed.


    Also: Parents across Canada got a warning this week that their kids’ information

    was exposed in a cyber attack. We look at the way schools across the country are vulnerable to online hacking.


    Plus: Norovirus on the rise in Canada and the U.S., anger over a rape case in India, newcomers looking for housing, and more.
