Michelle Song has the latest. People in the Philippines are bracing to see the scale of devastation of Typhoon Fung Wong. Nearly one million people were forced to. flee. I'm anxious and scared, says one woman. We don't know how strong the typhoon will impact us. The Philippines is one of Asia's most flood-prone countries. Earlier this year, it was swept up

by mass anti-corruption protests. As politicians and construction companies were accused of pocketing money for flood control projects that never materialized. This is starting to test our level of experience. Butch Mealy is the president of the Philippine disaster, resilient, Foundation. This is our fourth major typhoon in a row. We've had two earthquakes.

In his first interview since he defected from the federal conservatives, Nova Scotia MP, Chris Dantremant says he wasn't comfortable with the party's leadership. Don Tramon, who crossed the floor last week, spoke to the CBC's

Catherine Cullen today, he says there are three or four more conservatives who are also considering a switch to the liberals. You know, people aren't happy with the leadership style, not just of the leader, but of the leadership team that's there. Quite honestly, a lot of times I felt it was part of a frat house rather than a serious political party. What do you mean by that? Well, I mean, it was about who was friends with who, you know, who could be the most negative, who could be the most cutting.

In Alberta, some United Conservative MLAs are facing recall campaigns.

Regular citizens are gathering signatures in a bid to oust their elected officials. The trigger was Premier Danielle Smith's recent use of the not-withstanding clause in the Constitution. Sam Sampson explains. Are you here to sign the petition? These petitions come

after the provincial government used the not-withstanding clause to force striking teachers back to work. Two have been approved while several others are undergoing review, all targeting MLAs who voted in favor of the move. Political strategist, Peter Chalig, says recall is meant to address bad behavior, not to unseat politicians you disagree with. Ultimately, I think it undermines the credibility of the recall system that we have.

If enough signatures are gathered, there could be a local referendum, then by election. But political scientist, Jared Wesley, says things might not get that far. A premier has a choice to make. Does she want to wait for those petitions to be successful and force her hand into calling a bunch of by-elections? Or would she rather just call a general election, which she's been rumored to want to do anyway? Meanwhile, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she's heard some groups are breaking fundraising rules, which she says would make their petitions invalid. Sam Sampson, CBC News, Edmonton.
