These are the 16 people who died in the Manitoba bus crash. RCMP released their names during a news conference Thursday. Family members of victims and first responders were invited to place photos of the victims on easels. The tragedy unfolded last week after a semi-trailer truck collided with a bus that was carrying the victims on a day trip to a casino. Fifteen people died on scene and one died in hospital on Wednesday. Nine people who were in the bus remain in hospital, four of whom are in critical care. "Hearts are broken, families are grieving," Supt. Jeff Asmundson, Manitoba RCMP west district commander, said Thursday. "A community is feeling immeasurable loss." #Carberry #CBC #CBCNews #Dauphin #Manitoba

You might be looking at the last images of the Titan before its disappearance in the North Atlantic Ocean. In a series of photos posted to Twitter, CBC News journalist Kenny Sharpe caught images of the submersible being towed out to sea by the Polar Prince vessel. “Not knowing then what it was, I took these photos of The Titan submersible being towed by the Polar Prince, out of St. John's between The Narrows, and out to sea,” he tweeted on June 19. “It would eventually attempt to make its way to the wreckage of the Titanic.” OceanGate Expeditions, the vessel’s operator, says it believes the submersible with five men aboard has been lost at sea. "We grieve the loss of life and joy they brought to everyone they knew," said the company in a statement Thursday afternoon. The passengers were OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood, Hamish Harding and Paul-Henri Nargeolet. The vessel vanished Sunday morning in the waters off Newfoundland less than two hours after being deployed. The vessel was diving in an expedition to view the shipwreck of the Titanic. The disappearance triggered an international search and rescue operation. Tap our link in bio to read the latest.

The Titanic is considered a gravesite for its victims, which has led some people to argue that visits to the ship should be limited out of respect. But here’s why limiting expeditions to the shipwreck isn’t possible. (Reporting: Mark Gollom, Britnei Bilhete/CBC News) #Titanic #Titan #Shipwreck #Tourism #CBC #CBCNews

The National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls issued 231 calls for justice in its final report in 2019. CBC Manitoba analyzed the progress that’s been made. Only two directives have been completed. More than half haven't been started. “We know that there’s a genocide in Canada.… Why are we fighting for our basic human rights?” said Rachel Willan, a Métis mother of seven and a survivor of sexual exploitation. The calls that came out of the inquiry serve as an instruction manual for governments, institutions and Canadians to eliminate the racially charged factors that fuel the nationwide crisis. They are legally mandated directives to stop the violence against Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people. The calls are wide-ranging, including: • Supporting families affected by violence (Call for Justice 5.6). • Equitable access to affordable housing (4.6). • Protections designed to protect Indigenous girls and other youth in care (12.14). Federal Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations Marc Miller warns others may dispute CBC’s progress report. “I could probably find other people that say 60 to 70 per cent” of the calls are in progress, he told CBC in May. “There’s been a lot of work put in by our government into making sure people are safer in this country.” Tap our link in bio to read the status of each of the 231 calls to action in depth. A national Indian Residential School Crisis Line is available to provide support for survivors and those affected. People can access emotional and crisis referral services by calling the 24-hour service at 1-866-925-4419. Mental health counselling and crisis support is also available 24 hours a day, seven days a week through the Hope for Wellness hotline at 1-855-242-3310 or by online chat. Support is also available for anyone who has been sexually assaulted. If you’re in immediate danger or fear for your safety or that of others around you, please call 911.

How deep in the ocean can the Titan submersible go? Search efforts continue for the five-person, 6.5-metre-long submersible that went missing Sunday while on an expedition to see the wreckage of the Titanic. As of Tuesday, the air search had covered roughly 13,000 square kilometres. But the greater challenge lies in searching the depths of the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. According to manufacturer OceanGate, the Titan can dive as deep as 4,000 metres, a depth which is unreachable for many vessels and creatures. Swipe left to see how deep the vessel can travel.

Remember the bread price-fixing scandal? One company is now paying up. Canada Bread has agreed to pay at least $50 million for its role in fixing the price of bread for years. The company acknowledged that under previous management, it colluded with its competitors to raise the wholesale prices they charge to grocery chains, pushing up prices for consumers. The company makes dozens of brands of baked goods, including Dempster's, Stonemill and Vachon. It’s been owned by Mexican food giant Grupo Bimbo since 2014, but prior to that, it was majority controlled by Maple Leaf Foods. The bread price-fixing scandal first came to light in 2015, when Canada's Competition Bureau launched an investigation after receiving information from Loblaw and George Weston, who were involved in the scheme. The documents filed at the Superior Court of Justice in Toronto lay out what happened. To read the details, tap the link in our bio.

Eva Liu, 21, died after she and a friend were allegedly pushed off a viewpoint at Germany's popular Neuschwanstein castle on June 14. Global Affairs has confirmed the death of a Canadian citizen in Germany, but didn’t disclose details of the case. German authorities said that two female tourists were hiking near the castle when they encountered a 30-year-old American man on the path. He allegedly lured them onto a trail leading to a viewpoint, and attempted to sexually assault one of them before pushing her off a cliff. When the woman's friend tried to intervene, she was pushed off the cliff as well, authorities said. The American man has since been detained. Since then, those that knew the women identified them as Liu and 22-year-old Kelsey Chang. A Facebook profile apparently belonging to Liu says she is from Waterloo, Ont. CBC has not independently verified this. Chang survived the attack and was heading home to the U.S. on Tuesday, according to tThe Associated Press. Liu and Chang had reportedly just graduated together from the University of Illinois in May. Tap our link in bio to read more about the case.

A Canadian aircraft has detected underwater sounds in the search area for the missing Titan submersible that vanished with five people on board while diving down to the wreck of the Titanic. About 24 hours remain before the vessel’s presumed oxygen supply runs out — meaning rescuers have until 9 a.m. NT Thursday to find it. Robotic undersea search operations were diverted to the area on Tuesday, but there was still no sign of the Titan, the U.S. coast guard said on Twitter. The data from the Canadian CP-140 Aurora aircraft that detected the sounds was shared with U.S. navy experts for "further analysis which will be considered in future search plans." The coast guard did not detail the nature or extent of the sounds. The Explorers Club — which counts Titan passengers Hamish Harding and Paul-Henri Nargeolet among its members — called the update a good sign. "There is cause for hope based on data from the field. We understand that likely signs of life have been detected at the site," the group wrote in a post on Tuesday night.

Rescue crews are racing against the clock to find a missing submersible off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador in the North Atlantic Ocean. The five-passenger vessel was 1½ hours into its dive to the wreck of the Titanic when it lost communication on Sunday. The famous shipwreck sits more than 3,800 metres below the surface — where the pressure is immense and light is nonexistent. Those on board include one pilot, who owns OceanGate Expeditions, and four "mission specialists," a term the company uses for paying customers. “This is not a naive group of people. There’s the professional crew members who have gone down multiple times. But even the ‘tourists’ ... have done a lot of adventure work,” said retired captain David Marquet, a former U.S. navy submarine commander based in Florida. Marquet said the passengers are likely in the dark, shivering cold and are having to control their breathing to minimize the amount of oxygen they are using. For that crew, OceanGate estimates the Titan had up to 96 hours of oxygen – with less than half left. Tap our link in bio to read more about the risks associated with this type of expedition. A previous version of this post referred to Suleman Dawood as the father of Shahzada Dawood. In fact, he is Shahzada's son. The incorrect post has been removed.

Taylor Swift won't be coming to Canada any time soon, and some Canadian fans are reeling. The pop singer announced the international leg of her wildly popular Eras world tour on Tuesday, and Canadian cities like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver were absent from the list. The singer is currently on the U.S. leg of her tour, which ends on Aug. 9. Two weeks later, she'll begin a 50-show run across North America, South America, Europe and Asia, with a kickoff concert in Mexico City on Aug. 24. Some Canadian fans are sharing their frustration on social media. The hashtags #WhereIsCanada and #CriesInCanadian were trending on Twitter in response to Swift’s announcement. The newly announced leg ends in August 2024, so it could be awhile before Swift touches down in Canada, if she does at all. The last time she did was for her Reputation Stadium Tour in 2018.
