	Description:		Despite Canada's inflation rate falling to 2.8 per cent, its lowest point since March 2021, mortgages and grocery prices are rising, keeping the country's cost of living high. How consumers frustrated about feeling squeezed, and the economists questioning the Bank of Canada's strategy to tame inflation. The cost of rent is far outpacing the rate of minimum wage in every province, according to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. How wide that gap has become in some of Canada's most expensive cities, and the potential consequences this could have on the economy. The Ontario government is pledging to fix glaring issues in the province's child welfare system, following Global News investigations into the concerning treatment of children and teenagers in multiple foster and group homes. The proposals, the penalties these homes could face for providing substandard care, what's still missing, and the reaction from advocates. Plus, two men from Pinaymootang First Nation have finally had their miscarriage of justice recognized. Back in 1974, an all-white jury convicted Brian Anderson and Allan Woodhouse in the 1973 murder of Ting Fong Chan, a Winnipeg restaurant worker. Advocates say the trial was rooted in systemic racism. How Anderson and Woodhouse are reacting now that they've been acquitted. And saved at sea: the extraordinary story of Tim Shaddock and his dog Bella, who were lost in the Pacific Ocean for weeks. How the pair became stranded, yet survived against the odds while battling exhaustion, despair and hunger.
