technology in the cars that can do everything from streaming Netflix movies to uh you know Auto summoning and Auto driving then they can certainly put technology in the vehicles to to disable the ability be able to steal them officials are calling on the federal government to put pressure on car manufacturers and enforce stiffer penalties for those convicted of auto theft our only mandate is

how much is enough and when should you tip the answer is straight ahead but first a look at the forecast here's a live shot it's a nice looking summer evening still time for some beach volleyball and a great time for any other outdoor activity and the warm weather will continue for the next few days Jessica Smith is here with look at the current it still looks like Midsummer and it feels like Midsummer right we still have plenty of really nice weather for people to get outside and get active into the evenings whether you play volleyball baseball soccer it is going to be fantastic really over the next week and a half we do have some active weather in the province through Central Ontario but that is staying north of us and we're not dealing with that here in the GTA we're kind of sitting in the low 20s feeling into the mid 20s and it stays warm as we head in towards the end of our day as well through the island sitting at about 19 a little more cloud cover out through Pearson but overall it is warm into this evening staying above seasonal coming up I'll have a full look at your long range forecast as we step in towards the end of the week BR now it's back over to Nathan all right thank you Jess to a big development in the story we first brought to you as part of a CTV News investigation a panel of Judges has thrown out a decision by the op the called an officer's misconduct not serious even though it was a factor in a man's death sctv's John Woodward reports his widow hopes this means changes in police accountability across the province the level of hurt and pain that I'm in I just don't think anybody else deserves that Courtney Daran has been fighting for three years to do right by her late husband Tyler dorik we both believe in standing up for what's right the 35-year-old was struck and killed in Midland in 2020 by an OP Cruiser driven by Constable Jamie McBain out on a coffee run he was crossing against the light at night it was an accident she tried to revive him McBain wasn't charged criminally but she was found to have committed discreditable conduct for speeding then the op declared the misconduct not serious narrowing the scope of punishment and cutting Daran out of a discipline hearing their explanation just a boilerplate letter A CTV News investigation found identical paragraphs had been sent dozens of times to complainants telling them the misconduct was not serious in cases from neglect of Duty to unlawful use of force Daran went to court this week the judges threw out the determination and said the force had to explain itself saying a complainant has a legitimate expectation of receiving reasons justifying why conduct is not of a serious nature when the officer's conduct caused a civilian death it will not be readily apparent to many members of the public how police misconduct causing death is not considered serious at a minimum there is a legitimate expectation in having this explained the judges didn't decide that the misconduct should be declared serious or not that's now up to the opp who must reconsider the case again from the start daran's lawyer Justin safen hopes the decision will mean big changes for police force is dealing with complaints hopefully if the decision is taken seriously it means that uh there won't be another case like Courtney's the lawyer for the op Association says they're considering an appeal nevertheless Darth a feels her husband would be proud and um really pleased that he has like this Legacy now that he's essentially going to help other people from getting treated the way I was she hopes the decision prompts the opp to realize its discipline process needs a serious ious look John Woodward CTV News still ahead tonight marking a somber anniversary in New York remembering the events of 9/11 and the lives lost 23 years ago today now to a question facing anyone paying for a meal or service how much should you tip and what exactly should you be tipping for a new survey sheds some light on how Canadians feel about the current tipping culture ctv's Mike Walker is live tonight with more well Nathan Michelle you may have noticed that tipping is an option at more and more businesses but the survey found that most Canadians are uncomfortable with the increased requests and prefer to tip at traditional businesses like restaurants and salons from restaurants to salons and even retail tipping prompts are appearing at more and more businesses I think it's gotten a little out of hand sometimes and with payment terminal suggesting tip amounts from 15 to 22% it's sparking de about how much gratuity is too much it's exaggerated I mean you know you have the tax you have the tip so now going to a restaurant cost you 30% more minimum my comfort level is normally honestly 10 to 15% I feel like now a lot of things are getting more expensive so you know for us I'm a small business owner as well so I feel like that is within my range despite the tip flation a 15% tip is appropriate for most Canadians according to a new survey by narrative research primarily at restaurants and salons probably because of the kind of economic situation that we're living in right now people are even more focused on being asked to pay extra and not everybody feels comfortable being asked for a tip at a lot of different places the poll of more than 12200 Canadians found 77% agree on tipping while dining at a restaurant and 60% at the salon or barber shop while nearly half of respondents supported tipping Hotel house keeping taxi drivers and thirdparty food delivery services it just depends how the service it is actually it was $250 worth of food and they did not tip this waitress has noticed a shift in tipping culture it's 50/50 now it's we've got people that understand and they tip and we do also have that a lot of people that don't cost of living so many things and I and I understand it the least acceptable Services according to the poll are fast food grocery pickup takeout and retail stores maybe like people who work at places where they're just serving you as salate or they're not going above and beyond it's just part of their job because I worked um fast food and we didn't get tips if you're not getting the what you're paying for basically that's the time where maybe a tip is not worn consumers say it really boils down to paying for the experience the survey also found that 6% of Canadians don't believe in tipping at all reporting live I'm Mike Walker Michelle P to you thank you Mike the province has announced a new Point person to oversee its Financial dealings with the city it's a familiar face here in Toronto a former city councelor and budget Chief who now be working for the province ctv's Queens par bureau

points to be hammered out especially on the upload of the gardener and DVP recognizing that some of the financial challenges that the city has been having over the last little while the econom health of the city over the longer term is important too how do we move forward on continuing the support whether or not there's more support or there's work the city can do on the city side and looking at different kinds of priorities this is a part-time gig for Crawford paying over $600 a day likely over a few years it comes the same week as he was appointed chair of the Ontario cannabis store he brushes off any criticism of these appointments saying he comes with a special skill set one of the challenges I had when I was on the city side is really trying to explain to the province How the

presidential debate where where they sparred over abortion the economy and even crowd sizes here's ctv's Washington bureau chief Joy Malin with the details on the exchange and the aftermath on the anniversary of 9/11 after the worst terrorist attack on us soil a moment of rare political Unity what up good debate last night it was anything but the gloves came off Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people clearly he is having a very difficult time processing that from Donald Trump's refusal to accept he lost the 2020 election kamla Harris's strategy bait Donald Trump pushing him on issues like abortion for 52 years this issue has torn our country apart and they've wanted it back in the States and I did something that nobody thought was possible the government and Donald Trump certainly should not be telling a woman what to do with her body Trump repeated false claims that babies are being aborted at Birth prompting the moderator to fact check him there is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it's born Trump tore into Harris's two liberal linking her to President Joe Biden you just started by saying she's going to do this she's going to do that she's going to do all these wonderful things why hasn't she done it she's been there for three and a half years Harris mocking Trump's obsession with crowd sizes and rallies he talk about fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter he will talk about windmills cause cancer and what you will also notice is that people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom and I will tell you the one thing you will not hear him talk about is you people don't go to her rallies there's no reason to go and in a bizarre moment Trump on immigration repeated a false racist conspiracy theory about migrants eating people's pets in Ohio they're eating the dogs the people that came in they're eating the cats they're eating they're eating the pets of the people that live there the microphones were muted facial expressions were not and when the dust settled polls suggested that Harris had won Trump telling Fox News the debate was rigged and he likely won't do another again the reason you do a second debate is if you lose and they lost Harris says she's up for another debate but with less than two months to convince undecided voters for now both candidates will

important to make sure all your travel documents are up to date and in order and if you make a mistake booking a trip you generally have 24 hours to correct it but if you don't catch an error you could be denied boarding here Pat for and and consumer alert Pat Nathan and Michelle a woman booked a last minute flight to attend a funeral and she admits she was in a hurry when buying her tickets one letter was missing from her last name and while she thought it could be corrected at the airport she wasn't allowed on the plane I'm so upset Kimberly Faber of Thorn Hill says last month her father-in-law passed away unexpectedly in Calgary and she wanted to take the next flight there to be with her family she booked with Flare Airlines and bought a ticket as Kim Robin fabes the ticket cost her $841 when she got to the airport she was told there was a problem Kim and Kimberly aren't the same name so we can't let you through Not only was her full name Kimberly not Kim there was also an R missing from her last name the airlines said it was unfortunate but she was not allowed to board the plane I have just lost my father-in-law I'm panicking I'm not going to make it to the funeral in time Faber was able to catch another flight later that day but had to buy another ticket at her expense at a cost of $954,000 spelling uh passport dates a date of issue date of expiry little things like that that can have a big impact you know when you're at the airport when CTV News reached out to flare about Faber's case a spokesperson said the reservation was made online with an error in the last name Flair said Faber could have made a simple name correction online for free but that given the stressful and unusual circumstance we will be reaching out to miss Faber to offer a future travel credit flare Airlines gave Faber just over $800 towards another flight which was great news for her even to get it back in any shape or form it's better than nothing and I really really do appreciate what CTV has helped me accomplish and you really shouldn't fly with a typo on an airplane ticket even if one airline allows you to fly somewhere you may not be allowed to fly back which could leave you stranded in another city or country on your side I'm Pat foren if you have a consumer story idea email us at alert cv.com the weekend was a little fresh Monday was not my favorite but as we've made our way throughout the week it's only gotten nicer high pressure really has settled in and we've got a bit of a warming Trend taking place as we step into the next few days it has been beautiful outside we're kind of teetering on that just above seasonal mark and it only gets nicer as we head throughout the rest of the weekend and towards the weekend a little light Haze out there right now but overall it's been really nice if you want to spend some time outdoors and as we take on the town for Tiff or you're spending time outside you play baseball you play soccer you play volleyball it doesn't matter we have a great forecast kind of to accompany all of it but if I Ridge in the jet stream bringing some warmer weather to portions of Northern and Central Ontario we will experience that warmup even more so as we head into the day tomorrow right now 21 feeling like 23 so we're around that seasonal Norm at least at this moment into this evening we'll sit at 16 so holding on to some warmer air as we go through the overnight it's more seasonal through areas say through Peterboro bankr and out towards Kingston now in to your Thursday it's going to be hot 28 feeling like 33 and the temperatures just continue to rise really right around southern Ontario so the heat is on so I know we are stepping in towards the start of the astronomical fall season later on this month but we still have to think in that summer mindset when it comes to sun protection and hydration a little Sky shower activity making its way through Central Ontario but overall we stay nice and dry here in Southern Ontario the GTA and across the city of Toronto now through the rest of our evening it's not too bad out there we're looking at just a few light clouds kind of holding on right now it clears out that as we head in towards the evening and if you do have outdoor plans it's pretty nice we step in towards our Thursday more of the same we're getting into that time of year where the sunrise and

lot of sunshine I promise the icons are all working there's just nothing going on we're looking at 28 as we head in towards the day tomorrow feeling into the mid 30s in some areas and as we step throughout the week that's as that Ridge in the jet stream that separates the colder air to the North and the warmer air to the South kind of really starts to rise and we are just overtaken in a good way uh by some warmer air and as we step into the weekend we have almost an identical forecast from Friday right through to Sunday we'll see how those temperatures fluctuate ever so slightly but as we step in towards next week it stays really nice we're looking at the potential of a little more cloud cover creeping in midweek next week but you know what I'm not mad at it we're kind of settling into the middle of September in the most beautiful way if I do say so myself Michelle s thanks to you agreed thank you Jess thanks also tonight covering Tiff at the tender age of eight we catch up with the fresh face new reporter in town keeping Hollywood's finest on their [Music] toes deaths from m in the Democratic Republic of Congo surpassed 600 and continues to climb and here in Canada Health officials are urging vulnerable groups to get vaccinated we get more from our health reporter Pauline Chan there's a new strain of empo causing concern in the Democratic Republic of Congo what we're seeing now in Africa is is um outbreaks of CA one and that seems to be causing more severe disease and with a higher case fatality rate empo is a viral disease that can be transmitted through direct contact uh like sexual contact or providing care to a person can also be um uh transmitted through um droplets as well as through contaminated um bedding linens other kinds of household items while an empo vaccine has been available in Canada for about 10 years Dr Christine Navaro has been studying the effectiveness of a single dose of the vaccine normally given in two doses four weeks apart what we we found was that the the effectiveness of a single dose of empx vaccine or immune vaccine was about 58% so that mean that means that the infection rates were about 58% lower among persons who were vaccinated compared to those who are unvaccinated a significant benefit especially for those in Africa where vaccines have been in short supply but that doesn't mean people in Canada Should Skip their second dose in 2024 we've had 166 empo cases uh versus um um 33 in all of 2023 so again that's why we're really emphasizing for people to to get vaccinated Sean hosin of the health information group Katie says the vaccine is free for men who have sex with men or sex workers and a specific subgroup of men who have sex with men so these are people who've had a confirmed SDI sexually transmitted infection in the last year who um have or are planning to have sex with two or more partners and while there have been no Canadian deaths he says we should be on our guard because infections and outbreaks that start in one place don't stay that way we live in a globalized world contact your local Health Department for details on how to get the empx vaccine Pauline Chan CTV News new figures on the Ontario autism program show a widening gap between the number of children seeking services and the number receiving funding that's according to new documents obtained by the Canadian press the growing Gap comes despite a budget of $720 million more than double the funding under the previous liberal government the Ontario autism Coalition says a key factor is the complicated process which involves families spending up to four hours with program administrators to assess how much funding a child needs Premier Doug Ford said investments into the system will continue well it's day seven of

duo spoke about the reaction of people in the US when interacting with a transom it showed us you know there there's definitely still uh a lot of there's there's fear and there's there's hate out there for sure um uh some of which I think is just perpetuated by media and politicians and things like that but it also showed us that you know there a lot of places American people were were just nice and and I think Humanity you know we we really want people for the most part just to live their lives and be happy and uh and that was that was a nice takeaway for us yeah I would agree I would I would I would would I would put the caveat on there um this wasn't a typical trans experience for many people cuz I was moving through the country with a camera crew and Will Ferrell which is not everyone's you know opportunity so let's just keep that in mind I I think that there probably is still fear and danger to be encountered out there that I didn't encounter probably because of this uh
