CBC News: The National | Flu season strain, Electric vehicle plant, Women’s soccer league

Dec. 5, 2022 | Children’s hospitals across the country are forced to take drastic measures to keep up with an intense respiratory illness season. Canada's first full-scale electric vehicle plant signals a new future. Plus, two soccer superstars announced plans for Canada’s first professional women’s soccer league. Correction: A previous version of this video included inaccurate Health Canada data about the number of domperidone prescriptions that were filled in 2020. That publicly available data has since been updated to show that 1.7 million prescriptions were filled that year. 00:00 The National for Dec. 5, 2022 00:57 Flu season strains children's hospitals 04:02 Staffing shortages close birthing units 06:11 New professional women's soccer league 07:30 Grocery executives testify on rising prices 08:08 Report predicts food prices will rise in 2023 10:07 Maj.-Gen.
