much government restriction. We can't offer competitive prices because of the restrictions. But then the industry minister françois-philippe champagne said he is going to seek a foreign grocer to strengthen market competition. Could that be a threat we see realized. There have to be a lot of steps in order for that to happen. >> It's a great question. I guess I see a couple of issues with that. Number one, we have to appreciate that at the end of the day, as much as I love this country. We are small. We are about the same population as california. It's a difficult job to entice a specialty retailer like a grocer into a country that has a small market that is dominated by three major incumbents. Wouldn't it be better if we could actually put into place a structure that promoted domestic competition where we could take small to medium-sized grocery retailers in canada and specialty retailers in the category and boost them. Give them a framework for growth so that we can grow our own home growth competition. >> Anne-Marie: here is where I feel stuck as a consumer. You have the big grocers saying one thing. We have to be able to give you better prices. We will bring in a foreign competitor. As a consumer, I am doing this tennis match back and forth. I am paying $12 a pound for grapes. What is the solution for consumers. >> We have seen one of the solutions through the boycott. And there is now news that the organizers of that boycott are now looking to extend the current boycott on loblaws. So you are absolutely right. We have a lot of finger pointing going on. And up until now, consumers have been watching this ping-pong match between government and private enterprise. Now what we are starting to see is consumers actually taking action and shifting their consumption from one retailer to another. And in some cases, actually looking for options outside of the big three. So it's this kind of pressure that I believe is bringing companies like loblaws now to the table to discuss -- and at least begin those discussions around what they can do to emileate the solution. >> Anne-Marie: doug, nice talking to you.

tumultuous day across ontario and québec. If you have evening plans, know that the fields will be soaked this morning. One spot that is raining now is in sault Ste marie. If we can go there live this morning. We will show you that rain actively falling coming up from the U.S. you can see that cloud moving in on the western side. That is going to continue to tb a factor throughout the day today. Now north bay is also getting rain. Sudbury region. Peterborough, you had rain early this morning. It's moving up through the ottawa area as well. This heavy rain is pushing its way in toward london area. This could potentially be significant rainfall as it picks up steam. If there are embedded thunderstorms in there, which it could very likely happen, we could see the rainfall totals amplify. This is the outlook for 10:30 eastern this morning. Heavier rain pushing into sault Ste marie as well. We have heavy rain around the gtha. And westward, west or east of leamington or so moving its way up toward communities in eastern ontario. Once we hit mid-afternoon. Just because there is enough daytime heating, we start to see more of that energy available for storms to become more severe. It's possible through eastern ontario heading toward the kingston, belleville area. And up toward ottawa. We could see some of these storms reach severe thunderstorm criteria. We could have wind gusts anywhere from 70 to 90km/h. And lef rainfall approaching 50 millimeters. That would be the potential right through early evening as the storm tracks eastward. By tomorrow morning, they are firmly sitting in the maritime provinces. We will talk more about that coming up in the next half hour. Also ahead, the new device researchers say could be life-changing for people with paralysis. That conversation coming up here on Hello, I'm Franklin Graham. As we watch the news,it feels like the whole world is filled and engulfed with hate. We see it on our college campuses. We see it across the world. Where did this come from? You see, hate is coming from the human heart. God made us and he created us. But sin has come into the world, and it's come into each and every heart. And the only one who can fix the heart is God. And God did that by sending His Son, Jesus Christ from heavento this earth to take our sins. And he died in our place on a cross and shed his blood. He was buried, but on the third day he walked right out of that grave. That's right. Jesus Christ is alive. And my question is, have you ever invited him into your heart? If you haven't done it, do it right now. Just say, God, I'm a sinner. I'm sorry. Forgive me. I believe Jesus is your son. I want to trust him as my Savior. And I pray thisin Jesus' name. If you prayed that prayer,call that number right now. That's on the screen.God bless you.

Officials who have remained have been getting fort nelson ready for the 4700 people to go back home. The local emergency room will be open. Stores will be open. Gas stations will be open as well. The entire community was cleared out may 10th because of the parker lake fire burning nearby. Officials say four homes were destroyed. Six properties damaged. The fire is still considered out of control. Ask fort nelson will stay under an evacuation alert. >> To international news. Funerals are being held in gaza today after an ieu -- I df attack in rafah.

The stud wri was set to be officially released in september, but one of the doctors involved says he is making the findings public now to raise awareness. >> A nostalgic summer outing is under the stars. >> It is entirely impossible to stay at a point where it is no

longer feasible to stay hope. If a big developer came back ask offered me enough money, I would go at this point. >> Lindsey: owners are seeing a decrease in interest. The skylight in ottawa has room for more than 300 cars. Right now, there are only two drive-ins in the ottawa area. The cost of land obviously more valuable than the business itself. >> Anne-Marie: there is a drive-in near where we live. It is amazing. It's so much fun. >> Lindsey: I have never been. I always wanted to go. >> Anne-Marie: it's not that far from where you guys are. There is the best time of year to go. The bugs aren't out. You can sit in the back with the roof open or you can sit outside in your lawn chairs and watch a movie. It's fun for the kids. If you are looking for a way to kill time, this is a great way. >> Lindsey: I would love to do that. >> Anne-Marie: we have seen people from toronto when we do it with the kids. >> Kelsey: there's fun about watching movies outside. We have watched movies in the backyard. You think it's not going to be as special as it is, but it is. It's just a cool way to experience a movie. A cool way to experience outdoors and then family time. >> Anne-Marie: I remember in the summer going to coronation in middle of nowhere in alberta. There would be the double feature. That's where every teenager in town would be. >> Lindsey: that's so funny. >> Anne-Marie: you would stay for the first time and stay for the second one. It was fun. >> Kelsey: it's that time of year. We are going to talk about weather coming up in ten minutes. It's going to be a bit of a different week. We have shifting winds that are driving smoke into northern communities. We will talk about where the air quality advisories are this morning. There's also a pattern change happening. For some areas, the forecast this week is different. For some, it's a lot warmer. Elsewhere it's a lot wetter. We have strong storms moving through. We will talk about what we can expect this afternoon in ten10 minutes' time ten, but for now, here is a look at your local forecast. >> Anne-Marie: researchers are optimistic about what a new device could mean for people with paralysis. It's a non-evasive medical device that stimulates the spinal chord. A clinical trial of 60 participants 72% saw an improvement in their arms and hands. Joining us with more is ctv science and technology specialist's dan riskin. How does it work? >> Dan: these are people lo have spinal chord injuries. They don't have complete control of their hands and arms. For a lot of people, the first thing they think of is can they walk again. Using your hands is a much bigger deal. So what they did in the study is the people spent 25 therapy sessions trying to learn to manipulate things and to use their hands. They had 25 sessions with arc x. It's an electrode on the back at the site of a spinal cord injury. In the past, this is an evasive thing that had to be surgically impacted. This is just on the skin. For reasons that are kind of miraculous, it improves their performance. As you said, 72% of those people saw huge improvements compared to what they could do if they weren't getting zapped on the neck. Once those people gained that mobility, they could turn down the volume on that zapper. They continued to have that mobility. In a way, it's like they healed.

>> Anne-Marie: what does it do for someone's quality of life? >> Dan: this is the big thing. What they have done really well here is to let the patients, the people that are using this device do most of the talking in terms of that this means for them. >> Anne-Marie: look at the fine motor skills on this. It's incredible. >> Dan: this is a person who couldn't do that before. You are seeing improvements in pinch strength and grip strength and the ability to do those motor skills. And in some cases, the amount of pressure they could put between two fingers went up 7 fold. This isn't a surgery. This is a step back from the kinds of invasive procedures that have been done in the past. Yet, it's having these huge impacts. >> Anne-Marie: is it possible it could soon be widely available. >> Right now, they are getting approval. They are optimistic that they should get approval this year in the U.S. there are talks about moving it to other countryies in the future. I think a lot of different groups are looking into this and getting inspired by it. If this is one way to use electricity, what are some ways that we could adjust this or get inspired by this to make new kinds of experiments and new ways of taking that treatment even further. >> I'm watching these videos you have sent us of people in the trials. It's incredible to watch what they can do. Researchers are saying how this device could be used in the future. Who else could benefit? >> What we are learning is basically a new way of intervening when the spinal chord has an injury. Right now they are looking at one specific kind of injury. Going forward, they could look at injuries that are lower down in the back. Also other kinds of nerve injuries as well. What is weird about that is it's not trying to unless the language of the spinal chord and go in and speak that language. It is putting electrodes on the surface of the skin and sending some electricity in there and say, hey, spinal chord, work it out. And the spinal chord adapts. It really speaks to the miracle of the human body and how wonderfully it can work. >> Anne-Marie: I love when you show us examples of how it is working in new ways. Thanks, dan. >> Dan: thank you. >> Kelsey: it is a very mild start to the day in toronto sitting at 19°. 21 in montréal. Good morning. Single digits over to atlantic canada including labrador this morning. For St. John's. 7 in thunder bay. Single digits taking us right through the prairies. And 11 in vancouver. What we are seeing this afternoon is a return to warmer conditions across much of alberta, parts of northeastern B.C. saskatchewan as well. Manitoba, you will stay in the teens for the next couple of days. But by mid-week, you enter into that warmer forecast as well. 24 this afternoon for toronto. 23 for ottawa and montréal. And while new brunswick will be in the 20s, we are seeing teen temperatures elsewhere in our maritimes and a cooler day ahead for St. John's with a few showers mixed in. Des elsewhere in the province, there is a wind warning. This isn't for today. This is as we move into tomorrow morning. There's a front moving over from ontario to québec that is bringing a lot of active weather. It will arrive overnight into the maritime provinces. Ahead of that, you will start to see the cloud build in. It will start first as the cirrus clouds. That is indicative of the layer of moisture being quite thick. It could often be a predictor of rain moving its way in over the next 24 hours or so. You will see that first. Then overnight heading into tomorrow morning, the thunderstorms will begin. They start to creep in sometime after 3 a.m. Local time. Moving in from west to east. Within these thunderstorms, they are going to be very noisy, but they will also have a lot of rainfall with them. This is high intensity rainfall. Gusty winds. New brunswick, you can count on commuting through that rain in the morning. Whether you are getting off to work or school. The gaspe peninsula as well. For nova scotia and pei, it's rolling thunderstorms. It won't be constant. It's one of those that if it starts raining and you can give it a second and you can wait a little while before you leave, it could be done before you head out the door. That will arrive in newfoundland by mid-afternoon on tuesday. In labrador, you will have the rain a little sooner just due to the fact that you are farther west. Once we hit wednesday morning, cold air will pull its way in.

pulling down the cold arctic air as they do. That will prompt a flipover to freezing rain or snowfall. Now that's where the low is now. You can see it is still quite west of the region through ontario and québec. It is prompting heavy rainfall for some communities this morning. Ottawa, you just ended your rainfall experience. We are starting to see it intensify for the southwest. This is going to hit the toronto area within the next few hours. We will talk about that coming up in the next half hour. For now, we will take a short break here on the show. We will be right back. It's Chicken and Ribfest at Swiss Chalet.
