  • How can tragedies like the Lapu Lapu Day ramming be prevented in the future?

    Questions are being asked to officials about how a 30-year-old Vancouver man fell through the cracks in the mental health system to allegedly commit a deadly act of violence, killing 11 people with his vehicle at the Lapu Lapu Day Festival in Vancouver on Saturday.

We also go to a press conference with Vancouver mayor Ken Sim who provided some new details about the attack and said he city needs to find a way to keep people safe when a mental heath issue becomes a public safety issue and wrapped things up with CBC reporter Chad Pawson.
