IT’S UNFORTUNATE BUT IT’S REALITY. >> Reporter: NOVA SCOTIA PREPARED FOR THE WORST THIS TIME AROUND AFTER EXPERIENCING HURRICANE FIONA 12 MONTHS AGO, BUT WITH NO ONE SERIOUSLY INJURED WITH LEE, IT’S CLEAR THIS STORM DIDN’T PACK THE SAME PUNCH. SANDIE? >> Sandie: CREESON THANK YOU. THAT WAS ALSO THE SITUATION IN

NEIGHBOURING NEW BRUNSWICK WHERE THE FIERCE WINDS AND FLOODING WEREN’T AS BAD AS PREDICTED. CTV’S HEATHER BUTTS REPORTS FROM SAINT JOHN. >> Reporter: UNDER SUNNY SKIES, THE CLEANUP BEGINS AFTER LEE THRASHED THE FUNDY COAST WITH ITS POUNDING SURF AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS N NEW BRUNSWICK, THE STORM DOWNED TREES AND CAUSED LOCALIZED FLOODING.

PRETTY LUCKY. LUCKY. >> Reporter: LEE ARRIVED WITH WIND GUSTS UP TO A HUNDRED

KMS/HR IN SOME COMMUNITIES, BUT OVERALL IT DIDN’T BRING THE PUNISHING DAMAGE AS FIONA, FRESH ON THE MIND OF THOSE WHO LIVE HERE. $3 MILLION IN DAMAGE TO THE SHEDIAC WHARF LAST SEPTEMBER. THE COMMUNITY THIS ROUND RELATIVELY UNSCATHED. >> LOOK, WE’RE PREPARING FOR THE WORST, BUT HOPING FOR THE BEST.

WEAPON GOT THE LATTER PART. >> Reporter: THESE STORMS ARE BECOMING ANNUAL EVENTS ON THE COAST. PEOPLE HAVE LEARNED TO BE PREPARED. CLIMATE CHANGE IS I CAN MAAING THEM MORE INTENSE BUT IT’S NOT MAKING THEM ANY MORE PREDICTABLE. >> FUNDAMENTALLY YOU CAN’T SIT DOWN AT THE BEST COMPUTER IN THE

WORLD AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THE SCHEDULE OF HURRICANES IS GOING TO BE MUCH LESS WHERE THEY’RE GOING TO LAND. >> Reporter: LEE’S TRACK SHIFTED SEVERAL TIMES. ITS LANDFALL NOT AS HARSH AS SOME EXPECTED. >> THAT CHAOS IS SOMETHING THAT’S VERY HARD TO SORT OF STOMACH BECAUSE IT SEEMS SCIENCE SHOULD PREDICT THINGS.

THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS UNPRINTINGABLE. >> Reporter: ADDING TO THE WORRY FOR THOSE LIVING ALONG THE BAY OF FUNDY, COASTAL EROSION HAS CLAIMED HOMES IN THE PAST AND IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. >> LOSING ABOUT A FOOT A YEAR. SEVEN YEARS AGO, MY NEIGHBOUR RAY USED TO MOW ON THE OTHER

NO CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE IN MOST COASTAL COMMUNITIES BUT IT ADDS TO THE YEARLY EROSION GETTING WORSE WITH EVERY STORM. SANDIE? >> Sandie: HEATHER BUTTS IN SAINT JOHN, THANKS, HEATHER. LEE IS WEAKENING AS IT BRUSHES PAST NEWFOUNDLAND AND HEADS OUT TO SEA. THAT’S THE GOOD NEWS. THE BAD NEWS, THE HURRICANE

SEASON ISN’T OVER YET, IN FACT WE’RE JUST HALFWAY THROUGH IT. CTV’S ATLANTIC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST KALIN MITCHELL JOINS US. >> THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER ISSUED THEIR LAST UPDATES FOR POST-TROPICAL STORM LEE, CONSIDERED A REMNANT WEATHER SYSTEM. WHAT’S LEFT OF IT IS MOVING OVER NORTHERN AND WESTERN AREAS OF NEWFOUNDLAND AND FROM THERE OFF

TO THE NORTH ATLANTIC, BRINGING IN SOME GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS TO AREAS IN NEWFOUNDLAND AND HEAVY RAIN TO THE NORTH SHORE OF QUÉBEC. AS FAR AS THE HURRICANE SEASON SO FAR HERE IN THE ATLANTIC, IT STARTED OFF SLOW, BUT THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IN THE UNITED STATES ACTUALLY ISSUED AN UPDATE INCREASING THEIR FORECAST

AT THE START OF SUMMER, ESPECIALLY FOR THE PEAK OF THE SEASON WHICH WE’RE INTO NOW. YOU CAN SEE AS WE LOOK AT THE CLIMATOLOGY FOR OCCURRENCES OF TROPICAL STORMS AND HURRICANE IT IS PEAKS RIGHT AROUND MID-SEPTEMBER BEFORE FALLING INTO OCTOBER AND CONTINUING TO FALL INTO THE END OF THE SEASON

WHICH IS THE END OF NOVEMBER. AND WE’VE CERTAINLY SEEN AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF NAMED STORMS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE LATEST IS ACTUALLY NIGEL. SO ALREADY DOWN TO THE LETTER N WHEN IT COMES TO THE NAMES THAT THEY’RE USING THIS YEAR. NIGEL, HOWEVER, LOOKS LIKE IT’S

GOING TO REMAIN FAR OFF TOWARDS THE EAST OF ATLANTIC CANADA. IT’S NOT AN IMMINENT RISK. SANDIE? >> Sandie: OKAY, KALIN, THANK YOU FOR THIS. EARTHQUAKES CANADA IS MONITORING THE RISK OF MORE TREMENDOUSERS AFTER THREE MINOR QUAKES STRUCK OFF THE COAST OF BC EARLIER THIS MORNING. THE AGENCY SAYS A 4.80 MAGNITUDE

HIT WEST OF PORT HARDY. IT WAS FOLLOWED A FEW HOURS LATER BY A 5.5 QUAKE IN THE SAME AREA AND THEN A THIRD BUT SMALLER 4.2 TREMOR NOT LONG AFTERWARDS. THERE WERE NO REPORTS OF DAMAGE AND NO TSUNAMI IS EXPECTED. >> THE FAULT LINES BETWEEN CANADA’S MAJOR POLITICAL PARTIES

WILL BE TESTED MONDAY MORNING WHEN PARLIAMENT RESUMES FOR THE FALL SITTING. THE LIBERALS HOPING TO END THE BEATING THEIR PARTY IS TAKING IN THE POLLS ARE EXPECTED TO LAY OUT NEW HOUSING AND COST OF LIVING INITIATIVES. WHILE THE CONSERVATIVES ARE ALREADY PLANNING THEIR ATTACK. CTV’S JUDY TRINH HAS A PREVIEW FROM OTTAWA.

>> Reporter: STEPS FROM PARLIAMENT COMES A PLEA FROM A CANADIAN PAYING $4,000 A MONTH IN RENT. >> THE COST THE RENT, GROCERY COSTS, INSURANCE COSTS. >> Reporter: HE’S AN ELECTRICIAN. 80% OF HIS INCOME IS SPENT ON HOUSING. LIKE MORE AND MORE CANADIANS, HE LIVES PAYCHEQUE TO PAYCHEQUE.

>> THERE WILL BE A STARK DEBATE. >> Reporter: CONSERVATIVE LEADER PIERRE POILIEVRE SAYS HE’LL FOCUS ON FIXING THE HOUSING CRISIS AND REMOVE THE CARBON TAX TO LOWER FOOD AND FUEL PRICES. HE SCOFFS AT THE PRIME MINISTER’S INTENTIONS TO FORCE GROCER CEOs TO COME UP WITH A PLAN BY THANKSGIVING TO STABILIZE PRICES.

>> Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau: WE’RE NOT RULING ANYTHING OUT INCLUDING TAX MEASURES. >> THIS IS MORE POLITICAL THEATER. JUSTIN TRUDEAU IS AN ACTOR. WHAT WE ACTUALLY NEED IS ACTION. >> Reporter: DELAYED ACTION MAKES THE LIBERALS VULNERABLE. THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEGUN DISTRIBUTING MONEY TO CITIES FROM THE HOUSING ACCELERATOR FUND.

18 MONTHS AFTER THE FUNDS WERE EARMARKED IN THE BUDGET. THEN IT REMOVED THE GST FROM THE BUILDING OF NEW RENTAL APARTMENTS, A CAMPAIGN PROMISE IN I.T. MADE EIGHT YEARS AGO. THIS POSTER SAYS LIBERAL SUPPORTERS ARE TURNING ELSEWHERE. >> MILLENIALS GAVE THE LIBERALS THEIR MAJORITY AND PROBABLY SAVED THEM THE LAST TWO

ELECTIONS AND THEY’RE DOING THE WORST AMONG THE COHORT. >> Reporter: THE CHATEL ARE OBVIOUS FROM WITHIN THEIR OWN PARTY. THIS MP ENTERED POLITICS TO HELP FIND A HOUSING SOLUTION. >> I’M 32 YEARS OLD. A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT. I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO PURCHASE A HOME. >> FAMILIES CAN’T AFFORD THEIR MORTGAGE.

IT’S FODDER FOR A NEW ATTACK AD ON TRUDEAU AND NDP LEADER JAGMEET SINGH PROPPING UP THE MINORITY GOVERNMENT. SOME MEMBERS OF THE LIBERAL CAUCUS WANT TO FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE AND GO ON THE ATTACK. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO ISSUES OF AFFORDABILITY, POLITICAL ANALYSTS POINT OUT THAT THE

GOVERNMENT HAS THE TOOLS TO HELP CANADIANS GET THROUGH THIS, IT JUST HAS TO USE THEM. STREETS TL RIGHTS. [ Chanting ] THEY CALLED ON OTTAWA TO WITHOUT PERMANENT RESIDENT STAT SUSS SAYING IT LEAVES MIGRANT WORKERS AND STUDENTS WITHOUT BASIC RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS. >> BEING UNDOCUMENTED PUTS MY LIFE AT RISK BECAUSE I DON’T

KNOW WHAT MIGHT COME TOMORROW. >> Sandie: SIMILAR MIGRANT MARCHES TOOK PLACE THIS WEEKEND IN 15 CANADIAN CITIES. >>> A SMALL ISLAND HAS BECOME THE EPICENTER OF EUROPE’S MIGRANT CRISIS. ASYLUM SEEKER CROSSING THE MEDITERRANEAN FROM TUNISIA NOW OUT NUMBER NUMBER LAMPEDUSA, SWAMPING AUTHORITIES AND AID ORGANIZATIONS. IT’S A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR ITALY’S

NOT POSSIBLE TO ENSURE MORE SERVICES IN THE — IN LAMPEDUSA.

SO THERE IS THE NECESSITY TO TAKE THEM IN OTHER PARTS OF ITALY. >> Reporter: SINCE THE START OF 2023, NEARLY 130,000 MIGRANTS HAVE ARRIVED IN ITALY, MORE THAN DOUBLE THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR. THE ITALIAN PRIME MINISTER WHO VOWED TO STOP ILLEGAL MIGRATION ARRIVED IN LAMPEDUSA TODAY ALONG WITH THE EUROPEAN UNION PRESIDENT.

>> MIGRATION IS A EUROPEAN CHALLENGE AND IT NEEDS A EUROPEAN ANSWER AND SOLUTION. >> Reporter: SHE PROGRAMMED A 10-POINT PLAN TO HELP, INCLUDING BOOSTING FUNDING AND EQUIPMENT FOR THE COASTGUARD IN TUNISIA, THE MAIN DEPARTURE PART FOR MOST MIGRANTS. AS EUROPE TRIES TO CONTROL THE INFLUX, THOSE ARRIVING CONTINUE

TO SEE THIS LAND ADS THEIR NEW BEST HOPE. THIS MAN WANTS TO LIVE IN FRANCE. I’VE COME HERE TO HELP MY FAMILY. I’M GOING TO HELP MY FAMILY HE SAID. THE POPE IN HIS SUN ADDRESS CALLED THE MIGRANT SITUATION A DIFFICULT CHALLENGE THAT MUST BE FACED TOGETHER HE SAID FOR THE

FUTURE OF US ALL. THE EUROPEAN UNION PRESIDENT PROMISED TOUGHER MEASURES, INCLUDING MORE DETENTION CENTERS FOR THOSE WHO ARRIVE IN EUROPE ILLEGALLY AND ANYONE INELIGIBLE FOR ASYLUM WILL BE RETURNED TO THE COUNTRY THEY CAME FROM.

THE LAVISH SEND-OFF WAS COMPLETE WITH PARTING GIFTS FROM PRESIDENT PUTIN, BODY ARMOUR AND ATTACK DRONES.

THE VETERAN WHO’S WON THE STANLEY CUP WITH THE RED WINGS AND OLYMPIC GOLD FOR TEAM CANADA HAS BEEN OUT OF THE LEAGUE SINCE HE WAS FIRED BY THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS FOUR YEARS AGO.

>>> A PLOT TWIST TODAY FOR A HOLLYWOOD A-LISTER WHO WADED INTO A LABOUR DISPUTE BETWEEN THE STUDIOS AND THE WRITERS UNION. >> PLEASE WELCOME DREW BARRYMORE. >> Sandie: DREW BARRYMORE HAD PLANNED TO AIR THE NEW SEASON OF HER TALKSHOW STARTING MONDAY. FACING A BACKLASH, SHE HAS BACKED DOWN AND WILL NOW WAIT

UNTIL THE STRIKE IS OVER SAYING I TRULY HOPE FOR A RESOLUTION FOR THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY VERY SOON. >>> AND A CO-FOUNDER OF ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE HAS BEEN FIRED FROM HIS JOB AT THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME FOR SOMETHING HE SAID WHILE PROMOTING HIS NEW BOOK. IN AN INTERVIEW WITH THE NEW
