In a statement posted to facebook they write our hearts are with broden's family, friends, classmates and teachers as they struggle with this enormous loss. Our flags will also be lowered in honour of broden. We are grateful for the time he spent with us. May he rest in peace. Police say tips are already coming in about a suspected serial killer with ties to alberta. Last week police announced they had used dna evidence to tie gary allen srery to the deaths of four young women in the calgary area in the 1970's. He was wanted for crimes in his native california. But fled to canada in 1974. Police say he spent a considerable amount of time living on bc's sunshine coast and in the fraser valley. In 1998 he was convicted of a sexual assault in new westminster and sentenced to five years. Alberta rcmp are convinced he committed other crimes in bc and victims. >> Sgt. Travis mckenzie: and we realize we're asking some people to go back in their minds to the 1970's, the mid 70's, whether it be in calgary or the 1980's in davis bay, half moon bay, gibsons. He moves into abbotsford, cultus lake, chilliwack so we're asking people to take themselves back there. >> Erin: seven new tips on srery were reported to rcmp over the weekend. After serving his time in a bc prison. He was deported to the us where he died in custody in 2011. Although alberta saw a record number of canadians move to our province last year. A new report suggests many families here are struggling to keep up. For the second year in a row food bank canada's poverty report card gave alberta an overall grade of d minus. Dropping a bit from last year's grade of a d. According to the report 47 percent of albertans feel worse off financially than last year. Our province was also given an f for both the legislative and for the 27 percent of p rocess and for the 27 percent of albertans struggling with food insecurities. >> Speaker: food insecurity ranges from not having enough food to cutting down the quality or quantity of food in some

cases skipping food for an entire day due to lack of money and this has profound effects across the board on once health and mental health. >> Speaker: the number of kids who are experiencing food insecurity and living in households where food insecurity is a challenge is growing. The latest numbers from stats canada tell us that about 30 percent of kids live in a house hold that experience food insecurity in 2023. >> Erin: the report recommends the province introduce a provincial poverty reduction strategy and expand the temporary rent assistance benefit to all albertans waiting for affordable housing. If you've noticed a big difference in gas prices around the city. You're not alone. While it's common that prices fluctuate. Right now we're seeing everything from a dollar and 34 cents drivers were waiting up to 30 to a dollar and 58 cents per litre. A difference of more than 20 cents. Drivers were waiting up to 30 minutes at this station near 118th avenue thanks to its low price. At a time of high inflation. People say saving a couple bucks on gas can help in the long run. >> Speaker: how are we supposed to keep managing all of this when its, groceries are more, gas is more but having to go a block, and it is only a block and its 10 cents cheaper, yeah >> Dan: if you're in edmonton, I am going to go a little bit further to get the 10 cents cheaper. >> Dan: if you're in edmonton, buying for under $1.50, you're the one that's in the lead, not the gas station. So take advantage of it while you can. >> Erin: mcteague says there isn't a clear explanation on the wide range of prices. From gas to groceries, a new survey has found that most canadians support the movement to boycott loblaw's stores. But many aren't taking part. According to the leger survey, 70 percent of canadians say they are aware of the boycott. 58 percent support it. But just 18 percent say they, or someone in their home, are actually doing it. For those boycotting loblaws, 40 percent are instead going to big box stores, like walmart. 31 percent are going to another national chain, like save on foods. And 23 percent are shopping at independent local stores. >> Narrator: you are watching global news morning it's been a while since the >> Erin: anticipation is building for tonight's first game of the western conference final. It's been a while since the oilers and stars met in the playoffs. But it's an old and intense rivalry. Edmonton practiced at home wednesday morning. Before flying off to dallas.
