whatever those policies are, we are not -- we are not going there, and that is probably the place -- climate change, I know it doesn't sound sexy like talking about bill 21 and bill 96, but what's missing from the sovereigntist support is the younger generation of quebecers. >> Rosemary: very quickly, andrew. >> Let's suppose we get 100 million by the end of the 21 century, and french falls to 21%. That still means you've got 12 million french speakers in quebec versus 8 million today, so the notion that quebec is going to be drowned by this deluge of immigrants or it's going to lose all of its clout in the federation, after world war ii, it was much less powerful than it is today. It's not a function of a simple share of your population. >> Rosemary: okay. I've got to leave it there. Thank you for your conversation. With that, I'll send things back to adrienne in toronto. >> Adrienne: thanks, rosie. >>> [inspirational] Michael j.

[ ] >> Adrienne: tonight, the U.S. sues ticketmaster's owner, alleging it's gotten too big and too powerful. >> That conduct is anticompetitive and illegal. [ ] >> Adrienne: live nation accused of soaring ticket prices, exclusive ticketing contracts, and pressuring artists. Is it time to break it up? >>> Cbc news has learned that red lobster filed for bankruptcy here in canada. >> One of my favourite spots to eat, actually. >> Adrienne: and it wasn't just all you can eat causing problems. >> Speaker: oral questions. >> Adrienne: insults, name calling, and personal attacks. >> The leader of the opposition is wearing more make up than I am. >> Is it fair to be raising taxes on farmers and food? [ ] >> Adrienne: thanks for joining us. The world's largest ticket seller is staring down a major lawsuit. The U.S. department of justice says it's time for ticketmaster and live nation to be broken up. U.S. prosecutors are also alleging live nation was using threats to maintain its grip on the industry. Eli glasner on the lawsuit, the allegations, and what this could mean for fans. >> Reporter: in this game, a new player has entered: the U.S. department of justice, arguing that the company must be broken up. >> We are not here today because live nation-ticketmaster's conduct is frustrating or annoying, we are here because their conduct is illegal. >> Reporter: the company which merged in 2010 now is accused to have too much power all as fees and customer service complaints have sky rocketed. >> The justice department filed this lawsuit on behalf of fans who should be able to go to concerts without a monopoly standing in their way. >> Reporter: in a response, the company said artists set prices for their tickets while the venue sets and keeps the majority of ticket fees. This mother had dozens of friends registering to get taylor swift tickets for her daughter. In the end, a friend came through, but they learned something. >> It is criminal. You can't be charging little girls that want to go see their idol $5,000 for a ticket. >> Reporter: many independent artists agree, saying live nations mere monopoly limits the opportunities to perform. >> We risk cutting at the knees the sort of development of newcomers and also frankly new music, as well. >> I think we need to break up the stronghold between venue promotion and ticketing. Then we might want also break up ticketing by region or so that we anchor competition. >> Adrienne: so eli, a lot of major artists have been very vocal in the past. What are you hearing tonight? >> Reporter: not a lot, to be honest. I looked at a lot of big names that have spoken out in the past: taylor swift, bruce springsteen, and eddie vedder. All nothing. I should note we also reached out to the canadian competition bureau. They say they are aware of what's happening in washington but they can't confirm whether they're launching their own investigation at this time. >> Adrienne: okay. This might not be over. Eli glasner, thank you. >> Reporter: my pleasure. >> Adrienne: the fate of red lobster restaurants in this country is in limbo. Cbc news has learned that its parent company will ask to include them in a bankruptcy

filing. We look at what went wrong. >> Reporter: the casual dining chain that serves up seafood to the masses is in hot water. Red lobster has filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. and is in the process of doing the same in canada, cbc news has learned. Already the chain has shutdown close to 130 U.S. locations, putting hundreds out of work. >> This is a nightmare because it's just like being separated from something that's been part of your life for 40 years. >> Reporter: as the chain grapples with hundreds of millions of dollars of debt. >> They filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection which gives them a lot of runway as they sort of figure out if they are going to operate in canada. >> Reporter: there's speculation red lobster got into deep debt by offering all you can eat shrimp in the u.s., but some experts say the 56-year-old chain faltered by not changing with the times. >> Red lobster, popular with the boomers and older demographic but did not do anything to attract the younger consumers with new innovation. >> Reporter: red lobster remains open in this country and consumers hope it stays that way. >> My favourite restaurant to eat. >> Can the canadian red lobster restaurants be saved? >> I believe with the right group coming in, with management and leadership team, that red lobster could be salvaged. >> Reporter: on tuesday, it's expected that red lobster will be granted bankruptcy protection, allowing it to stay on the menu. Sophia harris, cbc news, toronto. >> Adrienne: and london drugs says that files obtained by hackers have released private information on-line. They say they're taking steps to mitigate the impact from these criminal acts. On tuesday, the company confirmed it was a victim of a ransomware attack but it refused to pay. All 79 stores in western canada were closed for over a week due to the attack.

>>> Well, a new stedudy shows that the first nation of grassy narrows is still being poisoned. Industrial pollution is making the water and the fish that live in it even more toxic. >> Reporter: in this northwestern ontario river upstream from the grassy narrows first nation, researchers say a slow motion crisis in unfolding. >> We've elected to release this data today because of the urgency of the situation. >> You can see -- >> Reporter: a new study from western university shows that wastewater from the dryden paper mill is combining with mercury dumped in the water decades ago to generate methyl mercury which is even more toxic. >> We are a poisoned people. >> Reporter: judy da silva says that she and many others in grassy narrows first nation lived with the debilitating neurological symptoms. >> Coordination, and for me, it's swallowing. Sometimes I choke on my food. >> Reporter: an estimated 90% of the nearly 1,000 people at the first nation have signs of mercury poisoning mainly from eating fish that live in the contaminated water. In the 1960s and 70s, the dryden paper mill dumped nine tonnes of mercury into the water. >> And so they wonder why we get upset. >> Reporter: the chief of grassy narrows first nation wants action to clean the water now. >> Especially with the new generation and the children that are growing up, the river should be cleaned up for them and we should be compensated because they're still taking mercury into their system. >> Reporter: the mill owner, dryden paper, said it acquired the company from a former owner, domtar. The mill is meeting with government officials and first nation leaders next week. The government has committed to building a mercury care home, with $77 committed to the structure. Juanita taylor, cbc news, yellowknife. >> Adrienne: and in texas, tornados destroyed homes and businesses. There weren't any reports of serious injury, one city has declared a state of emergency and opened a shelter for those who lost their homes.

>>> New predictions from weather scientists warn that the upcoming hurricane season could be a bad one. International climate correspondent susan ormiston shows us the coming forecast. >> Reporter: when hurricanes hit florida last august and acapulco, it was bad, but this season is looking to be worse. >> This season is looking to be extraordinary in a number of ways. >> Reporter: all the things in place for a severe season. El nino giving way to la nina, setting up more severe storms, including the big one, ocean warmth. In parts of the tropical atlantic, temperatures are mimicking august already. Noaa predicts 17 to 25 named storms, up from last year, eight to 15 major storms, and four to seven named ones, as well. >> The forecast is the biggest that noaa has ever issued for the may outlook. >> Reporter: typically, canada sees about 25% of the severe storms. Lee hit nova scotia and new brunswick last fall after feeding on southern atlantic waters. Another worrisome pattern? Fast moving hurricanes. Otis went from a tropical storm to a killer overnight. >> When we see water temperatures this warm, you're looking at intensity and you're looking at the rate of intensity which can be tremendous, as well. >> Reporter: noaa names hurricanes. Remember fiona? It's picked 21 names this year, and that may not be enough. >> Adrienne: so susan, when experts talk about hurricanes, what can we expect? >> Reporter: when hurricanes develop, they take that energy from the ocean and become stronger. Experts are saying that more severe rainfall will happen during the storms and also rising sea level will cause more damage during storm surges. Here's the good side. Hurricanes can churn up cooler deeper water which can soothe the coral reefs that are bleaching. >> Adrienne: susan ormiston, thank you. >> Reporter: you're welcome. >> Adrienne: a sudden and deadly gust of wind caused a stage collapse in mexico. It happened during a campaign rally for a long-shot presidential candidate. At least nine people were killed, including a child. More than 100 others were injured. Some are still in serious condition. Presidential candidate was not seriously hurt. He says the weather event that caused the collapse came without any warning.

>>> Back in this country, the government has moved to reinstate citizenship for kids of foreign born canadians who were also born outside the country. They've been barred from citizenship for the past 15 years, but now a new bill aims to undo that, and as raffy boudjikanian reports, there are an unknown number of lost canadians waiting to be found. >> Reporter: right now, susan burton's children can enjoy this view, but one thing is out of reach. >> My boys cannot have citizenship. >> Reporter: she cannot pass hers onto them as she was born in the U.S. >> It is not a citizenship of convenience. For us, it is a fundamental acceptance into a country. >> Reporter: in 2009, former prime minister stephen harper changed immigration law to crack down on so-called canadians of convenience, facing pressure after ottawa paid $85 million to extract canadians from lebanon three years earlier in a war between israel and hezbollah. >> This is a technical fix to a bill that should have been done a while ago. >> Reporter: but instead it's been a long time coming. The liberal government fought a legal batting against reversing the move, only dropping that after a court order last december found a law to contravene the charter. >> We want the law to be accessible with clear and transparent rules. Not everyone is entitled to it, but for those who are, it needs to be fair. >> Reporter: marc miller is proposing foreign born children of canadian parents who have spent three cumulative years in this country would become canadian citizens, unclear for now how many people would be impacted, but the bill does have N.D.P. support. >> I've talked to parents where their children are deemed stateless, lost in the system because of this punitive unconstitution law. >> Reporter: conservatives have said they're studying the bill, but the clock is ticking. The ontario superior court says the bill has to be fixed in less than a month. Raffy boudjikanian, cbc news, ottawa. >> Adrienne: confirmation earlier today that canada is getting a new wnba time. Idil mussa has more on when they're going to tip off and what this means for the country. >> Reporter: it's official. As cbc news first reported, the wnba is coming to toronto, the league's first international franchise, the 14 overall. >> It's a huge part of growing our fan base, enhancing the value of the wnba team here and around the world. >> Reporter: the announcement was star studded with canadian rap superstar drake, former raptors star kyle lowry, and current star scottie barnes in attendance. Larry tanenbaum owns maple leaf entertainment which currently owns the 2019 nba champions toronto raptors. Tanenbaum reportedly paid $115 million U.S. for toronto's yet-to-be-named team. Compare that to the billions needed to lure an nba expansion team to the city. >> You havesee it all the time, but investing in women's basketball is a smart thing to do. >> Reporter: but for some of those younger players in toronto, it's the inspiration that's most valuable. >> I can't wait. >> Most of the woman's basketball teams are in america, and this gives us an option to have one. >> Reporter: toronto's wnba team will play out of the coca-cola coliseum at rogers place but the team will have the opportunity to play at the 20,000-seat scotiabank arena as well as in ottawa and montreal throughout their season. >> Adrienne: T.D. bank is facing calls for fines in the U.S. what T.D. admits to doing wrong.
