Today on NOW and NEXT:Will the torturous, fatal beating of Tyre Nicols prompt any significant change in police culture in the US or Canada? Courtney Betty, Senior Partner at Betty's Law in Toronto is doubtful.But first:
- Canada's national standards for long term care are meaningless. The aren't mandatory. And they amount to little when you consider we don't have enough beds for those in need. In Ontario alone, the Ford government is more than 2 years behind schedule on delivering a 2018 promise to add 15 thousand new beds by 2024. Even if they managed to hit that target AND add the additional 30 thousand new beds in the next ten year - there will still be years long waiting lists.
- The Mississauga Food Bank "exceeded" its goals for the 2022 Holiday Food Drive - collecting more than $1.9 million and more than 640 thousand pounds of food. That's nothing to celebrate.
- An update on the mass shooting in the US: 60 shooting, 106 killed in the shootings, 232 wounded (just in mass shootings) over the course of the first 32 days of 2023
- Do you need to see the body cam video of Trye Nicols' beating at the hands of Memphis police?
