In the world's most oil-rich nation, this fisherman, Pablo Marin, can barely afford fuel.

Average salaries are less than $200 a month, and yearly inflation of nearly 500% last year makes his earnings in Venezuela's currency worthless.

Ten years ago, money had value.

Now you're paid in cash and it's worth nothing.

In another country, in Ecuador, a family could make $500 catching 100 kilograms of fish, pay for fuel and still have enough left over for food.

Here, if you catch 100 kilograms of fish, you would have to find another 100 to cover your expenses.

So you are left with nothing.

Just off the coast here, the oil company Shell has signed deals with the US and Venezuelan governments for a huge new gas project since Maduro's arrest.

Jumari Martinez, a resident from a local family of fishermen, has hopes the local area will benefit, but it's unclear whether these offshore projects will employ local workers or lead to investment onshore.

This part of Venezuela in Sucre feels miles away from the political bubble of Caracas with all the talk of new mining and oil deals there.

Poverty, the economic crisis, destitution are all very embedded in this part of the country.

And even with the talk of new foreign investments quite literally on the horizon here, the prospect of real change for people still feels very distant.

The head of Canada's national airline, Air Canada, is facing calls to resign after issuing a condolence message only in English and not in French following a crash at a major US airport that killed two pilots.

Carla Conti reports.

On Sunday night, as an Air Canada plane was landing at New York's LaGuardia airport, travelling at more than 200 kilometres an hour, a fire truck crossed at an intersection on the runway.

The plane hit the truck.

Both pilots were killed.

While some of the passengers and crew were injured, they all survived.

Tributes have poured in for the two men, Mackenzie Gunther and Antoine Forrest.
