>> Anne-Marie: it's monday, may 27th. >> There are still some fires out there that conditions around the region are still extremely dry. >> The threat isn't over, but wildfire conditions near fort nelson, b.c., haven't improved enough for people to start heading home today >> Travel disruptions. Border workers have made their first move toward a possible strike. We will tell you what that means for your summer plans >> Emergency landing. Watch this. Any landing you can walk away from is a good one. This one in australia is as good as it gets. Stay with us, canada, "your morning" starts right now. >> Lindsey: good morning, I'm lindsey deluce. >> Klsey: I am kelsey McEWEN. Happy monday. >> Lindsey: good to you have back. >> Anne-Marie: I love watching your reaction when we see plane stories like that. >> Lindsey: that was amazing. More video coming up. Other stories we are working on today. Funerals are being held today in gaza after at least 35 people were killed in idf attacks in a refugee camp in rafah. >> Lindsey: the palestine red crescent and officials in gaza say many women and children are among the dead. The idf says they targeted and killed two hamas figures in a precise airstrike. This strike came just two days after the international court of justice ordered israel to immediately stop its military operation in rafah where hundreds of thousands of civilians have been sheltering. >> Pro-palestinian protesters are being told to clear out by 8 this morning or risk potential arrests. >> Our lawyers are prepareing a strong case to move forward. We will have to wait and see. >> Lindsey: the protesters gave the university their counteroffer yesterday. The school says it will take all necessary legal steps including seeking an order from the ontario superior court of justice to dismantle the camp. Protesters will hold a rally this morning. As the deadline approaches, protesters say they are getting their legal defence ready against a possible injunction. >> People from fort nelson can finally go home today. >> They can start making decisions to come back at 8 o'clock. The roadblocks will come down. >> Lindsey: as the mayor of the northern rockies region municipality said the evacuation order will be lifted at 8 a.m. Local time. People heading back are being told to gas up first. Bring a few days of food and supplies. They are also told to be patient. The parker lake wildfire is still burning out of control and people in fort nelson have to leave again at a moment's notice. >> New brunswick premier brain higgs has banned a québec sexual organization for making presentations at any school in the province. Here is why, first before the talk led a series of discussions at four new brunswick high schools. Premier higgs calls a number of questions they touched on "clearly inappropriate". Premier higgs wrote this on social media: to say I'm furious would be a gross understatement. He went on to say a number of concerned parents have shared with me photos ask screen shots. The group that made the presentation has not responded. >> We know less is more when it comes to children's screen time. What about the screen time of the adults around those children. The type of screen time that has the largest effect on children is their parents' screen time. Parents play a strong part in developing children's early language. The biggest issue is half distracted attention.

>>> In the u.s., 18 people are now confirmed dead after severe storms and tornadoes across parts of the south and central U.S. happened over the weekend. >> It hit so fast. The only thing I could say is pay attention to your weather alerts. >> Lindsey: the worst of the damage was reported in texas, oklahoma, and arkansas. Unbelievable. In texas, the gough sore said more than a third of his counties are under a disaster declaration. Sunday's indianapolis 500 event was delayed because of the weather. That weather is ongoing. It is shifting east today. Severe storms expected from alabama up to new york on this memorial day holiday. The same system that is causing thunderstorms in ontario and québec. >> Quite the surprise for this rowing team in california. They realized it was in distress. The cub seemed to be an orphan. It is now on the road to recovery. >> As far as plane landings go, they don't come more nail biting than this one. This cessna lost power yesterday. Forcing the pilot to glide its way back to the airport. This is amazing. No power. Be able to glide. To get back to the runway. It was flying solo. It barely cleared those houses. Look at this. Because it had no power, he couldn't put the landing gear down. The pilot walked away. Safety bureau is gathering info before an investigation. Well done. >> Anne-Marie: that's really incredible. >> Lindsey: look at them clapping. Good job. They are trained for that. Good for that pilot. >> Kelsey: how do you train for that? Is there a simulation? >> Lindsey: you do it in the air. I trained on CESSNAs. You go up high and you cut the power. And then you are with an instructor and where I trained was in parry sound. I would have to find a field to land in. You get a couple hundred feet and you have to power on and you do it again. The most intense ones is if you have to get yourself out of a spiral. The flight instructor will put you into a spin or a spiral. Oftentimes you will have to close your eyes. They are like, we are going to put you in an emergency situation. You close your eyes and they will try to disorient you and when you open your eyes, you have to determine what the emergency is. Oftentimes you are in a spin. You have to figure out. >> Anne-Marie: there's one of two ways to react. I feel like rather than you go really quiet and in and just figure it out. >> Lindsey: me? Yes. You have no choice. >> Anne-Marie: you never know what's going to come out of you. >> Lindsey: the weirdest one for me is you have to have some training. Certain number of hours of instrument training, which is a whole different subject. You put blinders on and the instructor will also try to -- you fly by looking at the ground. They try to disorient you and you have blinders on. And they say, you can only look at the instrument panel. More often than not, I thought I was flying straight. But I was in a spin. It's unbelievable. >> Kelsey: that's wild. Very cool. >> Lindsey: I digress. >> Anne-Marie: I wanted you to digress. That was great. >> Kelsey: thank you for sharing all of that. That was wild. Moving on. We have your national forecast coming up in 15 minutes' time. There's reduced air quality with smoke moving northward to northwest territories. Brand-new area under that air quality advisory. There are strong storms forecast. We have rising temperatures in the prairies. We will talk about all of that coming up in 15 minutes' time. For now, here is a quick look at your local forecast.

>> Anne-Marie: here is something that could impact your summer travel plans. More than 9,000 members have voted unanimously for a strike mandate. While this does not guarantee a strike, it is the first move toward doing so. Workers have not had a contract for more than two years. For more, we are joined by ian lee from carleton university. Walk us through. What could happen? What could we see if strike action takes place? >> It's a curious situation because the border guards are designated essential. That means they can't technically go on strike. However, they can work-to-rule. Border guards have the discretion to ask every one of us coming through the border questions. They can slow it down and ask all kinds of questions rather than just to say, do you have anything to declare and go on through. You are through in 5 to 10 seconds. If they work-to-rule, they ask ask you endless questions and slow down the border. There's a lot of people. 5 million canadians came back to canada in march of this year. That is not talking about the $2.5 million of goods coming across the board. It could have a huge impact on the economy. >> Anne-Marie: the prime minister weighing in on this and said, let's be at the bargaining table. Would it be all ports ofentry or just a specific one? >> That hasn't been announced yet. When you look at the border points. Yes, there are multiple border crossings across canada. The ambassador bridge in windsor. It's just overwhelming. It's 400 plus million dollars a day. It is crucial. Not to mention montréal. The port of montréal. And the border with the states and the border in vancouver. You know, it would have in those largest CMAs. That's where the impact is going to be felt the most. >> Because they are an essential service, is it possible they could be ordered back to work? >> Well, it's interesting because it looked at the last time there was a major disruption, it was the port workers in B.C. and minister seamus o'regan said, we can legislate them back to work. He said I can impose a mandatory binding arbitration. They were bringing out and suggesting they had a lot of tools. This time, this doesn't seem to be the same sense of urgency, which I find puzzling. I think that the government is still going to have to step up, step up with game on this because of the impact of millions and millions of canadians and on the business community, the thousands of businesses that cross that border every day. >> Kelsey: we are not just going to see pressure from the canadian side. This is the longest border shareing and trade agreement we have from the U.S. what kind of pressure could we see from the U.S. side. >> A lot more goes to us from them. We import a huge amount. We are heavily dependent. The u.s., because it is such a large economy. It's much more diversified. Their trade with us is a smaller percentage. They are not going to be as inconvenienced, shall we say, as much as we are. Yes, the border states will get hit hard. We will be affected much more significantly. Both as individuals and especially now it is the tourist season as people are going abroad for holidays. And of course on business. It's going to be significant in terms of the economic impact. >> Anne-Marie: everyone is making their summer plans now. What is the time frame for all of this to get decided? >> They are waiting, as the prime minister said, we want -- they want the union to get back to the bargaining table. I suspect because of the disruption, if it did get to the point where major borders were being closed down or significantly restricted, that the pressure on the government would be overwhelming to step in and either impose binding arbitration or threaten back back-to-work legislation. I don't think it will last that long because we are in the high season, the summer season. >> Anne-Marie: thank you for joining us again. Coming up after the break, anti-competitive conduct in aisle 6.
