respond in a news conference today. >> Today marks two weeks after 5,000 people in fort nelson, B.C. were forced out due to a wildfire. Fort nelson's mayor said people could start heading back on monday or tuesday. Some doctors and workers from essential businesses like grocery stores -- port nelson's mayor said rain has helped keep the parker lane fire in check and the risk to the community has been reduced. >> Members of the royal newfoundland regiment have arrved in france to bring the body of an unknown soldier home. >> It was catastrophic. >> The body will be returned to canadian troops at a ceremony tomorrow. It was the site of a bloody first world war battle in which hundreds of soldiers from newfoundland were killed or injured. The unknown soldier will represent more than 800 newfoundlanders who died in the first world war. Once it returns, the soldier's body will lie in state. It will be later entombed at the national war memorial. >> It is all coming back for celine dion fans in a brand-new documentary. >> I have been diagnosed with a very rare neurological disorder and I wasn't ready to say anything before. But I am ready now. >> We are getting up close and personal glimpse into celine dion's struggle with a life altering illness. She says this documentary is a love letter to fans. The doc showcases her incredible career in music from live footage of her shows to personal interviews. "i am celine dion" drops on prime video on june 25th >> We were talking about this around the office this morning. A lot of folks excited for it. I'm stoked to see it. >> Lindsey: what a journey. Her career is so incredible. And just the way she talks is so passionate, too. She has always been like that. I'm really excited to see that. >> Kelsey: she is one of the celebrities who I think so many of us feel so connected to because she has been so honest and open through her journey. It's hard. I feel teary watching it. We just love her. I always talk about how we listen to celine dion and the eagles growing up. I'm excited isn't the word that I'm feeling. I really want to see it, but I feel like I am going to sit there with a bowl of popcorn and my tissues. >> Lindsey: you know when you meet somebody and they are born to do something. She breaks into song while she is speaking. All of her interviews. She will just be talking. It's almost more natural for her to be singing. >> Teddy: if you had a voice like that, I would be dropping in song every moment, too. >> Kelsey: she is like the number one. Anybody who you would like to interview, top of the list. I would just have to not cry. I'm working on that. For now, I will do your weather forecast. That's coming up in 15 minutes' time. It's a frosty friday. A rick -- risk of frost. There's also a risk of severe storms. Elsewhere, heavy rain and for some, flipping over to snow as we see colder air coming down from northern canada. We will talk about the influence that has on precipitation coming up. It is much wetter into next week. I know it felt very much like summer in parts of ontario and québec this week. We are getting a taste of spring weather next week. We will talk about that coming up. For now, here is a look at what you can expect for today. >> Lindsey: on heels after series of cyberattacks targeting everything from municipalities to drugstore chains. The federal government has announced the details of a coordinated plan to beef up its

security against cyber threats. The enterprise cyber security strategy will assess risk to different government departments. Create a process for disclosing vulnerable. Joining us on how to combat the rise of cyberattacks is david shipley. Ceo of beauceron security. Canada is investing $11.1 million on this cyber security strategy. The U.S. DISCLOSEs investment of 13 billion. Is canada doing enough? >> Not even enough. Right now they are talking about throwing a cup of water on a house fire and maybe the fire will be out in ten years. >> Lindsey: in the past few months. We had the city of hamilton. The town of huntsville. And london drugs. And the B.C. first nations health authority. When we hear about these cyber attacks, when hackers are picking their targets, what are they after? Are they after money or people's identification or people's personal information? >> Lots of things we are seeing here is criminal backed activity. One of the biggest gangs operates out of russia. It brings in hundreds of millions of dollars. This is also a way of fuelling their war. This is part of conflict. It's crime, but it is part of the bigger story. And canada is losing. When you say about the five ontario hospitals who went for months. When you talk about the chemo patients who suffered because of that. This is having tremendous effects on every day canadians. The strategy you just MENTIONs is them protecting the castle. Us villagers are all getting raided by the cyber vikings these days. Attackers are money motivated. Sometimes it's just what they find on the internet. They are scanning every single second. Others hire affiliates. We actually had canadians working with some of these international gangs who are part of picking specific industries. One of them made $27 million doing those crimes. They get really good at this and they work verticals. When they hit one municipalities, they try others. Hamilton is the largest municipality to date that we know and that continues to escalate. >> Lindsey: when we hear about london drugs saying we are not going to pay. Then what? >> We now know that it wasn't bluffing. They released some very sensitive information about employees. Including some medical information about employees. Lock bit is now known entity of U.S. law enforcement. The leader has been identified and is under sanctions. Legally, london drugs probably can't even pay even if they wanted to. >> Lindsey: where are these people? Because they could be anywhere. How do you even find them and how do you put a case against them. >> Law enforcement in canada had some good wit. There was an it employee who is now facing several decades in U.S. prison as an affiliate. The gangs in russia, the best we can do is ruin their day. >> Lindsey: let's talk about ai. >> So the good news is, so far, defenders who have been investing billions of dollars over years have a slight edge. But the proliferation of cheap and powerful tools is eroding that. We are seeing powerful scam e-mails. Phishing e-mails are getting better and harder to spot. It is lowering the cost of cyber crime. More canadians are being victimized. Up to $600 million was lost by canadians to cyber fraud last year alone. The rcmp believes only one tenth was actually lost. >> Lindsey: is there hope out there for us? >> There is hope. Here is the problem. Our politicians, the federal leaders in canada don't care about this. Why don't they care about it? Because as canadians, we are not talking about it. Every day canadians can start demand better of our government. And the first thing our government can do is what the americans have done. Bring together the federal government, the provinces and the private sector for a ransomware summit and get a handle on this before more people suffer. >> Lindsey: thank you for being here, david shipley.

Dealing with stress is part of life. But unfortunately, people often use ineffective strategies to help manage it. A recent study shows...that the the worst ways to manage stress that people commonly use...are fantasizing about their problem magically solving itself...and useless reflection, which means reviewing the problem in your head, but doing nothing productive to solve it. So to recap, it's important to be aware of unhealthy strategies to manage stress. Strategies that can HELP...are mindfulness, changing your thinking, or developing a plan to solve a stressor.

We're done on ctv >> Lindsey: the parent company of ticketmaster is being taken to court. Live nation is being sued by the U.S. justice department and a group of 30 states plus the district of columbia. What is the goal? To break up live nation. Apparently politicians accuse of anti-competitive conduct and control over the events industry. For a closer look at what this means for the company, we are joined by mohamed khimji professor of law at queen's university. What could this lawsuit mean for ticketmaster? >> What the department of justice wants is to undo a merger that occurred in 2010 between live nation, who specializes in music concert promotion and ticketmaster, which specializes in ticket services. It's now both of those service providers are controlled by the same company and the department of justice wants to separate them. >> Lindsey: I'm trying to think of, who is the competition? >> There isn't much. Live nation and ticketmaster dominate. Not only do they dominate promotions and ticket servicing, they also dominate venues. They control a lot of venues. >> Lindsey: I want to give a sample. That is the ticket to see taylor swift. We heard this conversation happening on-line. We have been covering it on news on our show. I want you to look at something. I want to put a board up. We got these numbers this morning. This is a resale ticket. She is playing in madrid at the end of the month. $404. Toronto, she is playing in the fall. That is what a resale ticket is going to cost you right now. You have to buy a hotel ticket and a plane ticket. It's 2 grand for a ticket in madrid. You are still paying $300 less to get a hotel, airfare and a ticket to go to madrid than one concert ticket in toronto. Fans are not happy. >> It's astonishing. Live nation put out a statement on its website yesterday explaining that its market dominance in north america isn't the reason for high ticket prices. It's blaming increased production costs. Costs have increased post pandemic. It's also aatribting -- the extent to which that accounts for the entire difference in price that you just mentioned, that remains to be seen. >> Lindsey: will we see any effect here in canada of this lawsuit? >> We will. It has some impact. If it goes through the legal system and the department of justice gets what it wants, then live nation and ticketmaster will be separated. Both the U.S. companies. They have canadian operations through canadian subsidiaries. >> Lindsey: we have been talking about the consumer experience. What about the artist side of it? How do artists feel about
