little patch blocked off due to a sinkhole repair is wide open, and all lanes are getting through on southbound crowchild trail, and a late rush today, and we had at least an hour of very light volume this morning, and we're seeing the end results of that now. It's still busy on the roads at 8:38 on a thursday. That is your ok traffic. >> Thank you, leslie. Let's bring in jeff and carolyn from the morning show to see what is coming up after global news "morning" this morning. And it was a big night for survivor fans last night. >> Sure was, dallas. Good morning to you, somebody has a million more dollars this morning than they did last night. It's not me. >> Not me. >> Blake:. >> Not you, dallas? >> Dallas: not me. >> It's kenzie who is the sole survivor last night, and won it out, and find out how she convinced the jury that she was the one and what she will do with the million dollars prize. >> And morgan hoffman's interview with with simu liu, and he is playing a villain opposite j. Lo. >> You have never had a tarot card reading. >> No. >> And we attempt it, and we have a tarot card reader for 30-plus years, and I'm terrified. >> I'm worried. Ever had injure cards read? >> Dallas: I don't think I have. I'm trying to remember. Maybe. To do it live on television, I commend both of you. >> And I've been warned, don't pull the tower card. >> That's not the one you want. >> No. >> Dallas: okay. Well, good luck to you and have a good show, and maybe we'll see you back here tomorrow.

>> Dallas: a little bit of sports news for you this morning. The wnba has expanded to canada. >> Blake: prime minister justin trudeau and ontario premier doug ford were both on hand to welcome the new franchise to toronto. The team, though, will also play games in vancouver and montreal through the course of the regular season. It is expected that the team will take the court starting in 2026. The calgary flames have started a search for a new assistant coach. >> Dallas: mark savard spent the last season with the flames, and previously was with the windsor spitfires for three seasons. We'll see where he lands. >> Blake: the edmonton oilers were practicing at rogers place wednesday before taking to texas. The team coming off a second round win over vancouver and went all the way to 7 games and now facing a stars team with the second best record in the league, and they are well rested and have not played in nearly a week. >> Dallas: I have dallas winning in the hockey pool. It would be something if they could pull it off. >> Blake: they weren't able to do that and the podium unveiled. >> Dallas: the mascots in paris took their turns posing for photos on the podium. >> It's tiny. >> Dallas: and the the olympic games will be held from july 26th to august 11th. Followed by the paralympic games august 27 to the 28. What is the mascot? >> Blake: gosh, we read it one day... Here on the news. I want remember. >> Dallas: yeah. Anyway, there you go. And good news backdrop in front of the eiffel tower. >> Blake: it's not a baguette. >> Dallas: no. It's those things. Okay, throughout the pandemic, the canadian government spent billions more than 800 million covid-19 rapid tests. >> The bulk of them were given to provinces and territories to distribute and free screening programs. But in many places, that will soon be coming to an end. Heidi petracek says rapid testing may soon be based on the ability to pay. >> Reporter: there used to be lineups for free covid-19 rapid tests. Today it's no waiting for bill who picked one up at his local library in halifax. >> If we have been somewhere where we hear someone else had covid or gotten -- have the sniffles or something, we use the test. >> Reporter: but the days of ottawa sending millions of tests to the provinces are numbered. Health canada saying in a statement... New brunswick took that as its cue to announce it will stop handing them when supplies run out likely the end of next month. Saskatchewan did the same in february. >> People who are wealthy can continue to buy them. >> That bothers one infection control epidemiologist who says rapid tests should still be part of the plan. >> If we say we're not going to have it moir, more, we're taking the word "public" out of public health. >> Reporter: nova scotia is planning its next steps as is alberta which stresses no decision has been made. Other provinces aren't saying much right now about what the plan is. Ontario, for example, would only say through a spokesperson that the province has tens of millions of rapid antigen tests available to the public and wouldn't say when they expire. But lab based testing by medical referral remains available and for one expert is the better tool because rapid tests perform differently for different people. >> The interpretation capacity has to improve and that means that the sensitivity of these tests needs to improve. >> Reporter: the experts agree tests need to improve and detect other respiratory viruses like rsv and influenza. That innovation is in the works likely rendering these obsolete. Heidi petracek, global news, halifax. [ ] >> Just give me one more drink and then I'll leave. >> Hi, peanut. I'm going to need you to come with me right now. >> Look, lady, I'm not interested. >> Dallas: deadpool and wolverine is off to a supervised -- supersized start.

Train formed in san francisco in the early 90's and are best known for their hit songs drops of jupiter and meet virginia. >> Dallas: having a listen to one of the songs now.
