NDP explanation, electric school buses stalled, bat population and human health, and more

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh explains why he ripped up the deal that guaranteed NDP support for the minority Liberal government. What he didn’t say … was why now? And what are his terms for supporting the Liberals on specific issues?

Also: A federal plan to help electrify school buses is stalling. Three years ago the Liberals pledged billions of dollars to help make the switch. But just a fraction of the buses carrying kids back to school are electric.

And: Bat populations across North America are in steady decline. New research out today suggests that decline is having a serious effect on our health, even leading to an increase in infant mortality.

Plus… Parents of a murdered doctor in India speak out, alcohol in Ontario’s corner stores, the death of a Ugandan Olympian due to domestic violence, and more.
