Military Boost and Humanitarian Crisis

Israel’s latest plan could force one million people to leave Gaza City. Israel’s security council has approved a mission to take over the city. Germany, the UK and Canada have said it’s the wrong approach, and some say it could endanger the hostages.

And: Members of Canada’s military are getting a pay boost — as much as 20 per cent. The move is an election promise, and part of Canada’s commitment to increase defense spending to meet NATO commitments.

Also: Women are more likely than men to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's. New research suggests hormones could hold the answer to why.

Plus: The future looks bright for Victoria Mboko, Air Canada and its flight attendants close to a showdown, and more.
