Record flooding continues as communities across eastern Canada scramble to contain the impact of continued downpour.

Here in Quebec, 250 people living along the Rouge River west of Montreal have been told to evacuate.

Officials warn a nearby dam could collapse under the pressures of what Hydro Quebec is calling a millennial flood.

In other words, a flood that comes once every thousand years.

287 thousand Canadian children didn’t get vaccinated for measles between 2010 and 2017.

That’s according to a recent UNICEF study, which found that 20 million kids missed their shot worldwide.

The lack of vaccinations has been linked to a global measles outbreak.

The past 4 months have shown a 3-4 hundred per cent increase in reported measles cases compared to this time last year.
