>> ANDREW: ON THIS THURSDAY
NIGHT, WHAT CANADA HAS TO SAY
ABOUT DONALD TRUMP'S UNUSUAL
ADMISSION THAT IN TALKING TRADE
WITH JUSTIN TRUDEAU, HE MADE
STUFF UP.
YOU WILL HEAR FOR YOURSELF, THE
CONCOCTION HE GLOATED ABOUT.
OPENLY.
THE WHITE HOUSE SAID THE
PRESIDENT WAS RIGHT ANYWAY.
PLUS IF THIS IS HOW TRUMP DEALS
WITH THIS, HOW WILL HE HANDLE
THE
LEADER OF NORTH KOREA?
>> THE HORRIBLE BRIDGE COLLAPSE
IN MIAMI.
AND JAGMEET SINGH CLARIFIES HIS
POSITION ON A SENSITIVE SUBJECT.
" -- THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
[*]
>> ANDREW: THE U.S. PRESIDENT
DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN CALLED
MANY THINGS, BRASH,
UNPREDICTABLE, UNAPOLOGETIC AND
TODAY, HE WAS ALL THREE.
HE IS REFUSING TO BACK DOWN
AFTER CAUGHT ON TAPE BRAGGING
ABOUT MAKING THINGS UP IN A
RECENT TRADE MEETING WITH THE
PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU.
HAVE A LISTEN TO WHAT TRUMP TOLD
A ROOM OF POLITICAL DONORS
YESTERDAY IN MISSOURI.
>> ANDREW: SO DONALD TRUMP
ADMITTING TO NOT KNOWING WHAT
THE TRADE SITUATION IS WITH
CANADA.
AND THEN SEEMING TO BOAST ABOUT
HIS ABILITY TO
MAKE FACTS UP.
ON THE FLY.
IT PUTS THE CANADIAN
GOVERNMENT IN AN UNUSUAL
POSITION.
AND TRUMP TRUE TO FORM IS NOT
BUDGING AT ALL.
>> REPORTER: THE PRESIDENT
DOUBLED DOWN ON THE CLAIMS TODAY
IN
CLASSIC TRUMP FASHION.
THROUGH A TWEET...
THE SPOKESPERSON SANDERS SAID
>> THEY ARE NOT TAKING INTO
ACCOUNT SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL
THINGS
LIKE ENERGY AND TIMBER THAT
WOULDN'T BE INCLUDED IN THE
NUMBERS.
AND ONCE YOU INCLUDE THOSE, IT
SHOWS THERE IS A DEFICIT.
>> REPORTER: THE PRESIDENT'S
FAVOURITE NEWS CHANNEL GAVE THE
REAL TRADE NUMBERS THAT HAVE
ENERGY AND LUMBER AND ARE ON
SEVERAL GOVERNMENT WEBSITES.
TRUMP SIGNED OFF ON A WHITE
HOUSE REPORT
THAT SAID THE SAME THING.
>> THE REPORT SAID TWO THINGS,
TRADE IS GOOD, YEAH, AND
THERE ARE TWO COUNTRIES IN THE
WORLD THE U.S. RUNS SURPLUS
WITH, THE U.K. AND CANADA.
SO THE EVIDENCE IS STARK AND
CLEARLY HE HAS BEEN MAKING UP
THE FACTS.
>> REPORTER: NOT JUST TRUMP...
THE U.S. TRADE REPRESENTATIVE
THE TOP AMERICAN NEGOTIATOR
THE NUMBERS WERE WRONG
CONTRADICTED BY HIS WEBSITE.
HE MADE THE DEFICIT NUMBERS UP
BY COUNTING CANADIAN GOODS FROM
OTHER COUNTRIES THAT ARE FROM
CANADIAN PORTS.
IT IS INCREASINGLY CLEAR TO
EVERYONE.
>> THIS ACTUALLY HELPS US.
BECAUSE WHEN WE GO TO CONGRESS
NOW, AND WE GO TO BUSINESS
LEADERS, WE CAN SAY, THE
PRESIDENT MADE IT CLEAR.
THAT HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE
FACTS ARE.
HERE ARE THE FACTS.
AND THE FACTS ARE THAT YOU
ACTUALLY RUN A SURPLUS WITH US
ON TRADE.
>> WE DEFINED AN AGREEMENT WHICH
HE CAN CLAIM IS A NEGOTIATING
SUCCESS.
THE MASTER OF
ART OF THE DEAL.
WHILE NOT TOTALLY WRECKING NORTH
AMERICA TRADE.
>> REPORTER: NOT CALLING TRUMP
OUT OF THE LIE AND CONTINUING TO
MAKE HIS OWN CASE SOUTH OF THE
BORDER.
USING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
ASSISTANCE TO BACK IT UP.
>> ANDREW: NOW, THE WAY TRUMP
DEALS WITH CANADA IS ONE THING.
BUT WINGING IT ON OVERSEAS
AFFAIRS IS A WHOLE OTHER MATTER.
THE CONCERN IS IF HE IS SO
CAVALIER WITH
A CLOSE ALLY.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE STAKES
ARE HIGHER?
CASE IN POINT,
IN THE NOT TOO DISSTAND FUTURE,
-- DISTANT FUTURE,
TRUMP IS PLANNING TO MEET WITH
THE LEADER OF NORTH KOREA.
HOW IS THAT GOING TO GO?
KEITH BOAG JOINS US FROM
WASHINGTON NOW TO TALK ABOUT
THAT VERY QUESTION.
KEITH, IS THERE A LEGITIMATE
WORRY THAT TRUMP MAY NOT GO INTO
THE TALKS WITH NORTH KOREA
PROPERLY PREPARED?
>> REPORTER: I THINK THERE IS.
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE
INCIDENT WITH CANADA.
IT IS NOT JUST THAT HE WAS
WINGING IT BUT THE CONTEXT WE
FOUND OUT.
HE WAS PROUD OF THE FACT THAT HE
WAS WINGING IT.
THAT IS NOT THE ATTITUDE THAT
YOU WANT THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES TO HAVE WHEN HE
GOES INTO A SERIOUS MEETING AS
THE ONE THAT IS PLANNED FOR KIM
JUNG-UN IN MAY.
>> ANDREW: THE WAY THE THINGS
GO, THE GROUNDWORK WILL IT NOT
ALREADY
HAVE BEEN LAID BEFORE TRUMP
MEETS FACE-TO-FACE WITH KIM
JUNG-UN.
TO SET THE U.S. UP FOR SUCCESS?
>> REPORTER: WHAT SHOULD BE
HAPPENING IS NOW IS PREPARATION
SO DONALD TRUMP KNOWS WHAT ALL
THE DETAILS AND THE NEGOTIATING
POSITION ARE BUT WHAT THE
DETAILS OF KIM JUNG-UN'S
NEGOTIATING POSITION ARE AS WELL
SO HE
DOES NOT STUMBLE.
INTO PITFALLS AND FALL PREY TO
MAKING MISTAKES BECAUSE HE IS
WINGING.
WHAT THEY HOPE IS IT IS A
TERRIFIC OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALLY
MAKE HEADWAY ON THE FILE.
AND IT WOULD BE A SHAME FOR THEM
IF THEY WERE TO WING IT.
>> ANDREW: AND KEITH, WHILE WE
HAVE YOU, I HAVE TO ASK YOU
ABOUT THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION.
AS YOU KNOW, IT HAS BEEN
REPORTED THAT ROB MUELLER ISSUED
A SUBPOENA FOR DOCUMENTS FROM
THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION RELATED
TO RUSSIA.
TELL US WHAT WE SHOULD READ INTO
THAT?
>> REPORTER: FIRST OF ALL, THE
FACT THERE IS A SUBPOENA
SUGGESTS THAT THE TRUMP
ORGANIZATION WAS NOT WILLING TO
COOPERATE WITH THE MUELLER
INVESTIGATION.
OTHER THAN THAT, WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT MUELLER IS AFTER.
WHAT HE COULD BE AFTER IS
EVIDENCE THAT SUPPORTS AN
ALLEGATION THAT THERE WAS
COLLUSION BETWEEN THE TRUMP
ORGANIZATION AND DONALD TRUMP
AND THE RUSSIANS
DURING THE ELECTION OR COULD
HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH
MONEY LAUNDERING.
WE KNOW THAT TRUMP ASSOCIATES
HAVE BEEN CRIMINALLY
CHARGED WITH MONEY LAUNDERING.
THERE MAY BE AN INTEREST ON
MUELLER'S INTEREST TO FIND OUT
ABOUT THAT AS WELL.
OR IT COULD BE WHAT OBLIGATIONS
TRUMP MAY HAVE TO RUSSIAN
INDIVIDUALS AND RUSSIAN
ORGANIZATIONS.
FOR INSTANCE, IS HE BURYING A
LOT OF INDEBT EDNESS TO
INDIVIDUALS
AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT MAY
COMPROMISE HIM AS PRESIDENT.
THAT IS AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
WE DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO ANY
OF THE THINGS.
WE CAN SURMISE THAT WHATEVER IT
IS, IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT
DONALD TRUMP...
>> ANDREW: THANK YOU.
I WANT TO TAKE YOU TO FLORIDA
WHERE THE RESCUERS HAVE SPENT
MOST OF THE DAY DESPERATELY
SORTING THROUGH DEATH AND
DESTRUCTION.
A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE JUST FRESHLY
INSTALLED, NOT YET OPEN TO THE
PUBLIC COLLAPSED.
OVER 6 LANES OF BUSY ROADWAY.
DROPPING 860 METRIC TONS OF
CONCRETE AND METAL ON 8 VEHICLES
BELOW.
8 PEOPLE WERE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL.
AT LEAST 4 PEOPLE ARE DEAD.
>> IT SOUNDED LIKE MULTIPLE
BOMBS.
>> I SAW THE MOST TERRIFYING
VIEW MUCH THE BRIDGE CRASHING.
>> I SAW A BLACK CAR IN THE
MIDDLE.
>> I SAW A WOMAN AND HER SON.
I SAW HER FOR SCREAMING TO HELP
WHO WAS IN THE BACK OF THE CAR.
>> THE CARS WERE SMASHED.
IT WAS SHOCKING TO ME.
I AM GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE.
THANK GOD.
I WAS VERY CLOSE TO LOSING MY
LIFE.
>> AT THAT POINT, I SAW A YOUNG
MAN, HE HAD LIFE IN HIM.
THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO.
HE WAS SQUISHED.
HE PUT HIS HAND OUT AND I FELL
TO THE SIDE AND I KNEW HE DIED.
>> FIVE DAYS AGO, THEY STARTED
TO BUILD THE BRIDGE.
>> ANDREW: THE BRIDGE WAS BUILT
NEARBY BY AND WAS LIFTED INTO
PLACE
LAST WEEKEND WHEN THE ROAD WAS
CLOSED TO TRAFFIC.
>> THE SAME CONDITIONS.
THERE IS NO TRAFFIC.
THE CONDITIONS ARE CONTROLLED.
>> ANDREW: THE COMPANIES THAT
WORKED ON THE BRIDGE ARE KNOWN
NATIONALLY FOR MANY SUCCESSFUL
PROJECTS.
THEY HAD PROJECTS GO WRONG.
MCM WAS TAKEN TO COURT AFTER A
TEMPORARY BRIDGE WAS BUILT OUT
OF THE FLORIDA AIRPORT BROKE
UNDER A WORKERS WEIGHT.
HE BROKE SEVERAL BONES.
AND THE SAME BRIDGE THAT BUILT
THE STRUCTURE IN VIRGINIA,
IT FELL APART DURING
CONSTRUCTION.
THE STATE REGULATORS SAID IN
THAT CASE, IT WAS PURE
LUCK NO ONE WAS KILLED.
>> Ian: BRITISH PRIME MINISTER
MAY VISITED THE
SITE OF THE CHEMICAL ATTACK IN
SALISBURY TODAY.
THE VICTIMS, A FORMER RUSSIAN
SPY AND HIS DAUGHTER ARE STILL
IN CRITICAL CONDITION.
TODAY MAY RECEIVED GESTURES OF
SOLIDARITY FROM SOME OF THE
U.K.'S ALLIES INCLUDING A JOINT
STATEMENT BY FRANCE, GERMANY AND
THE U.K. AND THE U.S....
>> THERE IS A GROWING CHORUS OF
CONDEMNATION FROM MOSCOW.
AS NAHLAH AYED REPORTS, THE
GOVERNMENTS ARE ASKING
THEMSELVES HOW FAR ARE THEY
WILLING TO GO?
>> REPORTER: AFTER MANY DAYS OF
TALKING, THE FOCUS TODAY WAS TO
BE SEEN DOING.
THE PRIME MINISTER SEEING FOR
HERSELF WHERE NERVE AGENTS.
TURNED WOULD BE ASSASSINATION
WEAPONS.
THE FOCUS IS ON HOW ELSE TO
RESPOND.
>> THE INTERNATIONAL ARENA AND
WE HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE UNITED
NATIONS.
AND THE EUROPEAN UNION.
THEY ARE STANDING ALONGSIDE US.
>> REPORTER: FOR NOW, THE FOCUS
IS A SHOW OF UNITY ON RUSSIA.
THE CONSENSUS, OUTLINED IN THE
SHARPENING WORDED JOINT
STATEMENT...
RUSSIA SHOULD ANSWER ALL
QUESTIONS AND LIVE UP TO ITS
RESPONSIBILITIES TO UPHOLD
INTERNATIONAL PEACE AND
SECURITY.
>> THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
IT HAS NO PLACE IN A CIVILIZED
WORLD.
>> REPORTER: A SHOW OF
SOLIDARITY, YES.
BUT NOT MUCH OF A SHOWING OF
PEACE.
>> IT LOOKS LIKE THE RUSSIANS
WERE BEHIND IT.
>> REPORTER: THE U.S. IMPOSING
YET
MORE SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA.
SO FAR, SANCTIONS HAVE NOT BEEN
MUCH OF A DETERRENT.
THERE ARE OTHER TOOLS AVAILABLE.
MAYBE A WIDER TRADE EMBARGO
AGAINST RUSSIAN PRODUCTS.
FURTHER EXPANDING NATO
MEMBERSHIP IN RUSSIA'S
NEIGHBOURHOOD.
>> ARE WE PREPARED TO BEAR THE
COST.
>> I THINK IT IS A CASE WE ARE
WHERE WE
ARE WE ARE AND THE NEXT THING IS
WAR.
WE HAVE TO EXPERIENCE PAIN TO
GENERATE POLITICAL GAIN.
>> REPORTER: STICKING TO BARBS
NOT BLOWS.
BRITAIN AND THE ALLIES WILL BE
UNDER PRESSURE.
TO DO MORE.
TRY TO DETER THE NEXT WOULD BE
STATE SPONSORED ASSASSIN FROM
HAUNTING THEIR STREETS.
>> IAN: THE CBC CHRIS BROWN IS
FOLLOWING THE STORY FOR US FROM
THE MOSCOW BUREAU.
AND CHRIS, WHAT HAS THE KREMLIN
SAID SO FAR?
>> REPORTER: WELL, WE HAVE NOT
HEARD FROM VLADIMIR PUTIN YET.
HE WAS IN A MEETING WITH THE TOP
MILITARY SECURITY OFFICIALS
TODAY LEAVING IT TO THE TOP
SPOKESPERSON TO EXPRESS WHAT IS
SAID TO BE EXTREME CONCERN WITH
THE "DESTRUCTIVE AND PROVOCATIVE
STANCE TAKEN BY THE BRITISH."
OF COURSE,
THE KREMLIN HAVE ALL KINDS OF
CONSPIRACY THEORIES WHY IT
HAPPENED AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE.
ONE OF THE POPULAR ONES COMING
OUT OF THERE TODAY IS THAT THE
BRITISH MAY HAVE STAGED THIS AND
PLANTED THE
NERVE AGENT TO MAKE RUSSIA LOOK
BAD AND FURTHER ISOLATE IT
INTERNATIONALLY.
>> IAN: WHY NOT A SWIFTER,
STRONGER RESPONSE FROM PUTIN?
>> IT IS A GOOD QUESTION.
WE HAVE SEEN HOLD OFFS IN THE
PAST THAT HAPPENED AT THE END OF
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WHEN
THE
AMERICANS BROUGHT SANCTIONS.
THE RUSSIANS WAITED UNTIL TRUMP
WAS IN OFFICE TO SEE IF HE WAS
DIFFERENT.
AND THEN THEY REACTED STRONGLY
TO THIS.
THE FOREIGN MINISTER TODAY
LAVROV DID SAY THAT THEY WERE
GOING TO BE RECIPROCATING BY
EXPELLING BRITISH DIPLOMATS
SOON, BUT OBVIOUSLY THAT DID NOT
HAPPEN TODAY.
ONE OF THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES
WE HEARD FROM THE KREMLIN IT WAS
DONE BY THE BRITISH TO INTERFERE
IN THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION WHICH IS COMING UP ON
SUNDAY.
SO PERHAPS THE THINKING HERE IS,
WELL, LET'S NOT DO THIS AND
STEAL THE THUNDER AWAY FROM
VLADIMIR PUTIN DAYS BEFORE HE IS
ABOUT TO BE
RE-ELECTED.
>> IAN: THANK YOU.
>>> AND TO A STORY ABOUT A
GO TO
RETAILER FOR MANY CANADIANS.
COSTCO IS UNDER INVESTIGATION BY
THE ONTARIO GOVERNMENT AFTER
DEMANDING $1.2 MILLION IN
POTENTIALLY ILLEGAL PAYMENTS
FROM A GENERIC DRUG MAKER.
THE FIFTH ESTATE HAS LEARNED THE
PAYMENTS ARE PART OF WHAT
CRITICS CALL A PRACTICE OF
HIDDEN KICKBACKS.
THEY SAID,
IT IS DRIVING UP THE GENERIC
DRUG PRICES FOR ALL CANADIANS.
MARK KELLEY HAS THE STORY.
>> REPORTER: COSTCO MULTIBILLION
DOLLAR BUSINESS MODEL WAS BUILT
LARGELY
ON SELLING FOOD IN BULK.
THE RETAIL GIANT IS BUILDING ITS
PHARMACEUTICAL BUSINESS TOO
AGGRESSIVELY.
THE RETAILER HAS FEES.
THE CONSUMERS PROBABLY DON'T
KNOW IS COSTCO HAS BEEN ACTIVE
IN AN INDUSTRY WIDE PRACTICE
THAT CRITICS SAY CAN
SIGNIFICANTLY DRIVE UP THE PRICE
OF GENERIC DRUGS.
THE GENERIC DRUG SALESMAN TURNED
WHISTLEBLOWER IS LEADING A ONE
MAN BATTLE
AGAINST COSTCO TO EXPOSE THAT
HIDDEN PRACTICE.
>> I AM TALKING TO YOU EVERYBODY
NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON.
>> REPORTER: HE SECRETLY TAPED A
PHONE CONVERSATION WITH COSTCO.
THIS IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE.
>> HE IS BASICALLY SAYING, I
WANT A MINIMUM OF 60% REBATE ON
ALL YOUR SALES.
>> WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT?
>> IT IS AGAINST THE LAW IN
ONTARIO.
>> REPORTER: IN 2013, ONTARIO
OUTRIGHT BANNED THE SO-CALLED
REBATES THAT PHARMACY CHAINS
ROUTINELY
DEMAND FROM DRUG SUPPLIERS.
THE BAN WAS AIMED AT REDUCING
DRUG PRICES.
>> YOU CAN CALL IT A REBATE.
I PREFER TO CALL IT A KICKBACK.
>> Reporter: AMIR SAID INDUSTRY
REBATES ARE THE DRUG INDUSTRY
DIRTY SECRET.
>> CANADIANS ARE GOUGED ON THE
PRICE OF GENERIC DRUGS.
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR
WASTED THAT DOESN'T NEED TO BE.
>> REPORTER: COSTCO SAID THE
PAYMENTS THEY WANTED WERE FOR
ADVERTISING AND CLINIC FEES
WHICH THEY THOUGHT WERE ABOVE
BOARD.
THE RETAILER HAS SINCE STOPPED
REQUIRING THE PAYMENTS IN
ONTARIO.
GALISI FOILED -- FILED A
COMPLAINT WITH THE
ONTARIO COLLEGE OF PHARMACISTS.
TWO COSTCO EXECUTIVES PLEADED
GUILTY BEFORE THE COLLEGE FOR
PROFESSIONAL MISCONDUCT.
THEY WERE FINED $20,000 EACH.
HE SAID THE EMPLOYER PAID COSTCO
$1.2 MILLION IN REBATES AND
FEES.
>> AS MY SON SAID, SO I PAY A
$20,000 FINE FOR STEALING
$1.2 MILLION.
WHERE DO I SIGN UP?
>> REPORTER: HE TOOK THE CASE TO
THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH IN
ONTARIO, PUSHING FOR STIFFER
PENALTIES FOR COSTCO.
THE FIFTH ESTATE LEARNED THE
PROVINCE HAS CALLED IN THE
FORENSIC INVESTIGATION TEAM.
WHICH SPECIALIZES IN CASES
INVOLVING WRONGDOING AGAINST
GOVERNMENT TO INVESTIGATE HIS
CLAIM.
>> I WENT TO A MEETING WITH THE
FORENSIC INVESTIGATING TEAM.
AND THEY WERE THE ONES PUTTING
TOGETHER THE CASE FOR THE
MINISTER OF HEALTH.
AND I WAS TOLD, HELP US, TONY
PUT TOGETHER THE CASE AGAINST
COSTCO.
>> REPORTER: THE FIFTH ESTATE
REQUESTED INTERVIEWS WITH THE
COSTCO
CEO AND THEIR TOP CANADIAN
EXECUTIVE TO DISCUSS THE PAYMENT
AND THE GOVERNMENT
INVESTIGATION.
THEY DECLINED.
BUT IN A STATEMENT, COSTCO
INSISTS IT GENUINELY BELIEVED
THE $1.2 MILLION IN PAYMENTS IT
DEMANDED WERE LEGAL...
WHILE ONTARIO BANNED THE
REBATES, EVERYWHERE ELSE IN
CANADA, PHARMACIES ARE FREE TO
DEMAND PAYMENTS FROM DRUG
COMPANIES AS THE PRICE OF DOING
BUSINESS WITH THEM.
>> I THINK THIS IS THE BUSINESS
WHERE THE VARIOUS PLAYERS HAVE
CARVED A PIECE OF THE PIE FOR
THEMSELVES.
AND NONE OF THEM WANT TO UPSET
THE SYSTEM BECAUSE THE PIE IS
TASTY.
THIS IS THE BUSINESS IN WHICH
DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS HAVE
FINANCIAL REASONS NOT TO UPSET
HOW THINGS ARE DONE.
>> REPORTER: SO IMAGINE THE
SAVINGS TO CANADIANS.
IF GENERIC DRUG COMPANIES
SLASHED THE PRICES BY UP TO 60%.
INSTEAD OF PAYING PHARMACIES FOR
THE PRIVILEGE OF STOCKING THEIR
PRODUCTS.
>> SO YOU REMOVE THE REBATES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY, IT WOULD
SAVE THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM A
LOT OF MONEY.
KEEP IN MIND, THE GENERIC
INDUSTRY IS 5.5 MILLION.
IF WE USE COSTCO WORDS, IT IS
60%.
THAT MEANS WE COULD REMOVE
3.3 BILLION OF COSTS PER YEAR OF
REBATES THAT ARE GOING TO
PHARMACIES.
>> REPORTER: TAKING ON YOUR
CUSTOMERS IS NOT GOOD FOR
BUSINESS.
HE HAS LOST HIS JOB.
HE DOES NOT REGRET BEING A
WHISTLE BLOWER AND SHINING A
LIGHT ON THE DARKER SIDE OF
CANADA'S DRUG INDUSTRY.
>> IAN: AND YOU CAN WATCH THE
ENTIRE INVESTIGATION TOMORROW
NIGHT ON THE FIFTH ESTATE.
THAT IS AT 9 ON CBC TELEVISION.
9:30 IN NEWFOUNDLAND.
>> ANDREW: LET'S LOOK AT WHAT IS
AHEAD ON THE SHOW.
7 YEARS OF WAR IN SYRIA.
IT HAS LEFT MILLIONS HOMELESS.
DEREK STOFFEL WILL HAVE A STORY
OF TWO FAMILIES.
ONE THAT MADE IT SAFELY TO
CANADA AND ANOTHER THAT DID NOT.
>> IAN: THE N.D.P. LEADER SINGH
IS ANSWERING SOME TOUGH
QUESTIONS TONIGHT.
THAT HAVE BEEN DOGGING HIM ABOUT
AIR INDIA.
>> ANDREW: LATER CBC MARKETPLACE
INVESTIGATION REVEALS AN UGLY
TRUTH AT THE BEAUTY COUNTER.
>> A LOT OF THE SAMPLES HAVE
>> JAGMEET SINGH IS GOING
FURTHER THAN HE HAS BEFORE IN
SPELLING OUT HIS POSITION ON
SIKH EXTREMISM.
FOR A LONG TIME, HIS CRITICS
HAVE QUESTIONED HIM ABOUT NOT
BEING CLEAR.
HE IS ANSWERING DIRECT
QUESTIONS.
>> AIR INDIA WAS THE WORST
TERRORIST ATTACK IN THE HISTORY
OF OUR COUNTRY.
>> REPORTER: IT SEEMS LIKE AN
EASY THING FOR A POLITICIAN TO
DO.
TO DENOUNCE HOW PARMAR WIDELY
RECOGNIZED AS THE MASTERMIND OF
THE AIR INDIA BOMBING, BUT IT
TOOK MONTHS FOR JAGMEET SINGH TO
DO THAT.
>> YOU ARE NOT CONDEMNING THE
GLORIFICATION OF PARMAR AS THE
MASTERMIND
OF THE BOMBING.
>> THE INQUIRY IDENTIFIES THIS.
I ACCEPT THE FINDINGS OF THE
INVESTIGATION OF THE INQUIRY.
I ACCEPT THEM AND CONDEMN ALL
RESPONSIBLE.
>> REPORTER: YOU ACCEPT THAT
PARMAR WAS THE MASTERMIND.
>> YES, I ACCEPT THE FINDINGS OF
THE
INQUIRY.
>> REPORTER: WHEN SINGH WAS
ASKED TO DO THIS A FEW MONTHS
AGO, HE HEDGED.
DENOUNCING THE BOMBING NOT THE
BOMBER.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHO WAS
RESPONSIBLE.
I THINK WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHO
IS TRULY RESPONSIBLE.
>> REPORTER: IN RECENT DAYS,
VIDEO SURFACED SHOWING THE
SEPARATIST RALLIES, WITH POSTERS
SHOWING VIOLENT EXTREMISTS AS
MARTYRS.
PARMAR WAS DEPICTED NOT AS A
TERRORIST BUT AS A HERO, SINGH
WOULD NOT DENOUNCE IT BEFORE.
HE DID TODAY.
>> WOULD YOU CONDEMN THE MARTYR
POSTERS.
>> I THINK THE DISPLAYING THIS
IS SOMETHING THAT RETRAUMATIZES
AND INJURES PEOPLE SUFFERING SO
MUCH IN THESE TERMS.
I DON'T THINK IT IS APPROPRIATE.
>> REPORTER: ONE OF THE TOUGHEST
CRITICS CALLED IT GOOD BUT
OVERDUE MOVES.
>> I THINK HE DOES THE RIGHT
THING.
>> REPORTER: DENOUNCING THE
POSTERS DOES NOT MEAN SINGH WILL
BOYCOTT EVENTS WHERE THEY
APPEAR.
HE SAID MANY SIKHS WERE
TRAUMATIZED BY THE
CYCLE OF VIOLENCE THAT RIPPED
THROUGH INDIA AND LED TO
THOUSANDS OF DEATHS.
SINGH WANTS TO REACH OUT TO
PEOPLE WHO FEEL THAT ANGER.
>> OR I COULD NOT GO AND LEAVE
THE SEAT VACANT.
TO BE FILLED BY SOMEONE ELSE WHO
HAS
THE SAME MESSAGE.
>> REPORTER: A MESSAGE HE IS
ONLY NOW DELIVERING PUBLICLY.
DAVID COCHRANE, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.

AHEAD TONIGHT, THE NUMBER OF
CANADIAN PEACEKEEPERS IS AT AN
ALL-TIME LOW.
WHY IS THAT?

SYRIA.
THOUSANDS JOINING THE MILLIONS

WHO IS 13
VENALLIA WHO WAS BADLY HURT AND
LATER DIED IN HOSPITAL.
THE MAN CHARGED IN THE DEATH,
HER BOYFRIEND.
COREY FENN.
HE APPEARED IN COURT MUDDIED AND
BRUISED, FACING THREE COUNTS OF
SECOND DEGREE MURDER.
>>> IT HAS BEEN THREE DAYS OF
SEARCHING NOW.
AND STILL NO SIGN OF A
10-YEAR-OLD BOY WHO WENT MISSING
IN
MONTREAL.
HE DISAPPEARED ON MONDAY AFTER
LEAVING HIS HOUSE TO VISIT A
FRIEND.
THE SEARCH CREWS HAVE SCOURED
PARKS,
RIVER BANKS AND HELICOPTERS
JOINED THE SEARCH.
NO LUCK.
THE POLICE ARE NOT SURE WHETHER
HE WANDERED
OFF OR WAS KIDNAPPED.
>>> IN FLORIDA, THE OFFICIALS
RELEASED SURVEILLANCE VIDEO FROM
THE DAY OF THE MASSACRE.
THE VIDEO CONFIRMS THE ACCOUNT
THAT
THE ONLY ARMED SHERIFF DEPUTY
STAYED OUTSIDE AS THE SHOOTING
UNFOLDED.
THE ATTACK BEGAN AT THE HIGH
SCHOOL AT 2:21 P.M.
ONE MINUTE LATER, YOU CAN SEE
THE DEPUTY BEING ALERTED.
THE RAMPAGE WENT ON FOR 6
MINUTES.
THE DEPUTY NEVER WENT INSIDE.
HE TOOK COVER BEHIND A WALL.
17 PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN THAT
ATTACK.
THE SHERIFF'S DEPUTY HAS
RESIGNED.
>> IAN: AN ANNIVERSARY NO ONE IS
CELEBRATING.
THE WAR IN SYRIA BEGAN 7 YEARS
AGO AND IT IS STILL RAGING.
WITH BATTLES IN THE NORTH AND
EAST.
INVOLVING A TANGS OF FACTION --
TANGLE OF FACTIONS AND
REGIONAL POWERS HOPING TO GRAB
WHAT THEY CAN OF A BATTERED
COUNTRY.
FEW PLACES ARE FEELING THE
PRESSURE MORE LIKE EASTERN
GHOUTA.
THOUSANDS LEFT THE ENCLAVE
UNDER A MASS EVACUATION,
TELLING THE SYRIAN STATE
TELEVISION THEY WERE HELD BACK
BY THE REBELS.
BOTH SIDES HAVE ACCUSED EACH
OTHER OF TRAPPING 400,000
CIVILIANS IN THE TOWNS AND
VILLAGES NEAR DAMASCUS.
IT IS POUNDED BY AN AIR AND
GROUND OFFENSIVE THAT APPEARS TO
BE REACHING A CRITICAL STAGE.
ON MARCH 15TH, 2011, FEW COULD
HAVE PREDICTED WHAT THE WAR
WOULD BECOME.
EVEN A QUICK TOUR OF WHAT
HAPPENED SINCE, THE DEATHS IT
HAS CAUSED.
THE CATASTROPHE AND THE WORLD'S
REACTION TO IT HAS DEFINED THE
LIVES OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
AFTER 7 YEARS, MANY ALREADY KNOW
THIS WAR.
HOW IT STARTED.
PROTESTS MET WITH VIOLENCE
ESCALATING RAPIDLY TO OPEN
REVOLT.
HOW IT BECAME A FREE-FOR-ALL,
FOR REGIONAL POWERS AND
EXTREMISTS.
THOSE EARLY YEARS WERE A
BLUEPRINT FOR SYRIA'S
DESTRUCTION.
CITIES TURNED TO RUBBLE.
SNIPERS SCANNING STREETS FOR
TARGETS.
IT BECAME A LAND RULED OF A
GOVERNMENT
THAT TURNED ON CITIZENS WITH
CHEMICAL WEAPONS.
MILITANTS THAT USED TERROR AS A
WEAPON.
IT HAS BEEN HARD TO FOLLOW THE
CONFUSING WARS WITHIN WARS.
THE U.S. BOMBED ISIS.
RUSSIA BOMBED OTHER
ANTI-GOVERNMENT GROUPS.
AND TURKEY HIT THE KURDS.
THE PLIGHT OF DISPLACED IS CLEAR
ENOUGH.
SCRAMBLING BY THE MILLIONS INTO
NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES AND
BEYOND.
IN 2015, THE 3-YEAR-OLD ALLEN
KURDI WAS A SYMBOL OF THE
PLIGHT.
HE DROWNED DURING THE DANGEROUS
CROSSING.
HE AND HIS FAMILY WERE TRYING TO
GET TO CANADA.
EVIDENCE MOUNTS DAILY OF THE
SACRIFICES CIVILIANS.
-- SACRIFICE OF CIVILIANS,
ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, HAVE MADE
FOR THIS WAR.
IF ALL OF THIS IS HARD TO WATCH,
THE MOTHER OF THREE, A REFUGEE
IN LEBANON IS HARDER TO LIVE
THROUGH.
>> IAN: OVER THE PAST YEAR, THE
BATTLEFIELD HAS CHANGED.
CURRENT STRUGGLES AGAINST TURKEY
IN THE NORTH.
THE IRAN AND RUSSIA ASSERTING
CONTROL WHERE IT CAN.
THE U.N. IS WARNING ABOUT THE
NEXT CRISIS.
>> EASTERN GHOUTA, AFTER, WE MAY
SEE
TREMENDOUS BATTLES IN AND
AROUND.
IT IS
A GIGANTIC REFUGEE CAMP.
WE CANNOT HAVE WAR IN A REFUGEE
CAMP.
>> IAN: AS MENTIONED, EVEN IF
MANY WANT TO FORGET, THEY CAN'T.
IN CANADA,
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF SYRIANS IN
-- ARE MAKING A NEW LIFE.
AS DEREK STOFFEL EXPLAINS, THEY
ARE STRUGGLING TO REUNITE WITH
THOSE THEY LEFT BEHIND.
>> REPORTER: IF YOU LOOKING FOR
A HINT HOW THE FAMILY IS
SETTLING INTO CANADA, IT IS ON
THE DINNER TABLE.
PIZZA.
TAKE OUT JUST IS NOT AN OPTION
IN SYRIA.
THE FAMILY ARE NOW AMONG THE
50,000 SYRIANS RESETTLED IN
CANADA.
THEY LIVE IN TORONTO.
THE KIDS GO TO SCHOOL.
AMANI IS LEARNING ENGLISH.
SHE STILL PREFERS TO TALK IN
ARABIC.
[VOICE OF INTERPRETER]: MY LIFE
HAS CHANGED.
CANADA, YOU FEEL LIKE A HUMAN
BEING HERE.
>> REPORTER: BUT LIKE SO MANY
SYRIANS, SHE WAS FORCED TO LEAVE
SO MUCH BEHIND.
IN JORDAN, WE MET OMAR, HER
FIRST COUSIN AND BEST FRIEND.
ALONG WITH HIS WIFE AND THEIR
DAUGHTERS, THEY FLED SYRIAN BACK
IN 2012.
BUT OMAR IS STILL IN JORDAN.
THOUGH HE DESPERATELY WANTS TO
LEAVE.
[Voice of interpreter]: MY KIDS
ONLY GO TO SCHOOL IN THE
AFTERNOONS.
THEY ARE LEARNING NOTHING HERE.
I WANT THEM TO GET A GOOD
EDUCATION.
>> REPORTER: OMAR'S STORY IS NOW
SHOCKINGLY FAMILIAR.
5 MILLION SYRIANS HAVE FLED AND
ARE NOW LIVING AS REFUGEES, MOST
IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND EUROPE.
OMAR AND HIS FAMILY ONCE LIVED
IN EASTERN GHOUTA.
THAT'S WHERE THE LATEST TERRIBLE
CHAPTER IN SYRIA'S WAR IS
UNFOLDING NOW.
UNRELENTING AIR STRIKES BY
SYRIA'S
MILITARY AND CLASHES WITH REBEL
FORCES HAVE LEFT MORE THAN 1,000
PEOPLE DEAD IN THE LAST MONTH.
OMAR IS STILL IN TOUCH WITH
PEOPLE IN THE AREA.
[VOICE OF INTERPRETER]: THEY
HAVE TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO THEIR
FAMILIES BECAUSE THEY MAY NOT
COME BACK WHEN HE LEAVE HOME.
>> REPORTER: THE TOLL FROM THE
SYRIA WAR IS STAGGERING.
THERE IS NO LONGER AN OFFICIAL
COUNT, BUT IT IS THOUGHT THAT
ABOUT HALF A MILLION PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN KILLED.
SHE SAID BASHAR AL-ASSAD
SHOULDERS MOST OF THE BLAME.
[VOICE OF INTERPRETER]: THE FACT
THAT HE KILLED HIS OWN PEOPLE, I
HATE HIM AND I HOPE HE SEES A
LOT OF SUFFERING.
>> REPORTER: FOR NOW, IT IS THE
PEOPLE OF SYRIA WHO HAVE
SUFFERED.
ESPECIALLY THE CHILDREN SAYS
OMAR'S WIFE.
[VOICE OF INTERPRETER]: THEY
HAVE LOST THEIR CHILDHOOD.
WE GREW UP PLAYING AND HAVING
FUN.
THEY HAVE MISSED EVERYTHING.
I FEEL BAD FOR THEM.
>> REPORTER: SHE BROUGHT FAMILY
PHOTOS TO CANADA.
IT IS DIFFICULT FOR HER TO LOOK
AT HOW
LIFE WAS BEFORE THE WAR.
EVEN HARDER TO PICTURE HOW IT
WILL ALL END.
[VOICE OF INTERPRETER]: ASSAD
BECAME MORE APRESS -- OPPRESSIVE
AND EVIL.
WE LOST EVERYTHING.
[VOICE OF INTERPRETER]: EVERY
YEAR, WE SAY THAT THIS YEAR THE
WAR WILL END AND IT DOESN'T
HAPPEN.
THERE IS NO HOPE.
THE TWO FAMILIES SOMETIMES GET
TOGETHER OVER SKYPE.
TODAY'S CHAT IS PARTICULARLY
EMOTIONAL.
AS AMANI GETS AN UPDATE.
SHE TRYING TO GET OMAR AND HIS
FAMILY TO CANADA.
SHE TELLS THE OLDEST DAUGHTER
SHE WILL BRING THEM OVER.
[VOICE OF INTERPRETER]: GOD
WILLING I WILL SEE THEM AGAIN.
THEY WOULD LOVE IT.
[VOICE OF INTERPRETER]: I WISH
WE COULD GO TO CANADA.
IT IS THE AMBITION OF EVERY
PARENT TO GIVE A GOOD LIFE TO
THEIR CHILDREN.
>> Reporter: BOTH KNOW IT WILL
BE DIFFICULT.
CANADA IS STILL RESETTLING SOME
FAMILY MEMBERS FROM SYRIA.
BUT NOT THIS FAMILY.
THAT MEANS OMAR AND HIS WIFE AND
KIDS COULD REMAIN STUCK IN
JORDAN AS THE WAR THAT HAS
CHANGED THE LIVES OF THESE TWO
FAMILIES RAGES ON.
DEREK STOFFEL, CBC NEWS.
>> IAN: CANADIANS CONTINUE TO
SPONSOR SYRIAN REFUGEES.
BUT IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES ARE
WORKING THROUGH A TREMENDOUS
BACKLOG.
AS OF DECEMBER, THE OFFICIALS
WERE STILL PROCESSING 20,000
APPLICATIONS.
MOST OF THOSE SPONSORED BY
PRIVATE GROUPS.
CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION
CANADA HOPES TO WORK THROUGH THE
BACKLOG BY 2019.
AND REDUCE PROCESSING TIMES FOR
FUTURE CLAIMS TO 12 MONTHS.

PARADISE FOR DECADES.
TODAY, IN THE UNITED STATES,
PLAY TIME IS OVER.
THE COMPANY CLOSED ALL 735 OF
THE U.S. STORES AND SELLING

IN CANADA.
THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THESE,
KNITS -- AD MITMITS
THERE WAS SOME HESITATION ABOUT
FILLING THE ORDER.
>> TRYING TO DECIDE WHETHER TO
SHIP IT OR NOT, HOW WILL WE GET
PAID.
THAT IS THE BIGGEST QUESTION
EVERYBODY WANTED TO KNOW.
>> REPORTER: BECAUSE THE U.S.
TOYS 'R' US STORES ARE SHUTTING
DOWN, IT IS CREATING UNCERTAINTY
FOR THE CHAIN IN THIS COUNTRY.
THE TOYS 'R' US STORES IN CANADA
ARE OPENED FOR NOW.
THE COMPANY IS LOOKING FOR A
BUYER FOR THEM.
FOR MANY CANADIANS, THE STORE IS
ICONIC.
>> IT WAS THE KIDS GET AWAY.
>> Reporter: SHE REMEMBERS TOYS
'R' US AS A MOM.
AND NOW AS A GRANDPARENT.
>> IT WILL BE A GENERATION OF
CRYING, THEY SAID.
THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID.
I HOPE THEY DO NOT TAKE IT DOWN.
WE WILL HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING
ELSE.
>> REPORTER: CANADA'S TOY
INDUSTRY IS MADE OF PLENTY OF
SMALLER INDUSTRY.
-- INDUSTRIES.
THIS SMALL COMPANY RUNS FOUR
STORES IN B.C.
FOR NEARLY 40 YEARS, SHE HAS
BEEN TESTING AND ORDERING TOYS.
SHE SAID HER BUSINESS IS
THRIVING.
BECAUSE OF BEING SMALL.
>> PEOPLE WANT THE QUALITY OF
PRODUCT AND THEY WANT THE
CUSTOMER SERVICE.
THE CUSTOMERS COME
IN THE STORE AND SPEND QUITE A
BIT OF TIME WITH THEM.
>> REPORTER: SOME CONSUMERS ARE
SHIFTING THE BUYING ONLINE, IT
IS NOT FOR EVERYONE.
>> SHOPPING ONLINE, YOU CANNOT
SEE IT.
WHERE HERE, WE CAN SEE.
>> REPORTER: BECAUSE WHETHER YOU
SHOP AT A RETAIL GIANT FOR
DECADES OR PREFER TO SHOP AROUND
THE CORNER, FOR SOME, THERE IS
SOMETHING ABOUT A TRIP TO THE
TOY STORE.
>> Ian: TOYS ARE A 2.5 BILLION
INDUSTRY IN THIS COUNTRY, AND IF
YOU ARE WONDERING, WHERE WE SHOP
MOST OF THE TIME, ACCORDING TO
THE TORONTO MARKETING FIRM, THE
BIG RETAILERS ARE DOING WELL.
WALMART AND TOYS 'R' US
REPRESENT UP TO 65% OF SALES
HERE.
THE SPECIALTY RETAILER
MASTERMIND TOYS
REPRESENTS UP TO 20% AND AS YOU
CAN SEE, INDEPENDENT STORES LIKE
THOSE BUYERS MENTIONED MAKE UP
ABOUT 5% OF SALES.
>> ANDREW: OKAY.
TO A DIFFERENT SHOPPING
EXPERIENCE.
AT THE MAKEUP COUNTER.
IT IS COMMONPLACE TO HAVE
TESTERS AVAILABLE.
YOU TRY BEFORE YOU BUY.
OUR COLLEAGUES AT MARKETPLACE
WONDER WHAT BACTERIA MAY BE
LURKING ON THE SAMPLES.
HOW OFTEN ARE THEY CLEANED?
AS ASHA TOMLINSON TELLS US, THE
FINDINGS ARE NOT PRETTY.
>> REPORTER: IT IS HARD TO WALK
THROUGH A MAKE UP STORE AND NOT
SEE THIS.
PERSON AFTER PERSON TRYING ON
THE LATEST SHADES.
USING TESTERS ON DISPLAY
EVERYWHERE.
MANY TRUST WHAT THEY ARE TRYING
ON.
DO YOU WONDER IF THEY ARE CLEAN?
>> I HOPE THEY ARE.
I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT.
>> REPORTER: HOW DO YOU KNOW?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
I TRUST THE STORE WOULD HAVE
GOOD SAMPLES OUT THERE FOR US.
>> REPORTER: THE PRODUCERS
COLLECTED 60 SAMPLES OF MAKEUP
TESTERS FROM FOUR POPULAR MAKE
UP RETAILERS.
MAC, SEPHORA AND SHOPPERS DRUG
MART AND TESTED THEM FOR
ALL KINDS OF
BACTERIA.
>> WHAT WE FOUND
IS A LOT OF THE SAMPLES HAVE
STAF AND A FAIR NUMBER MOLD.
>> REPORTER: THE MICROBIOLOGIST
FOUND STAFF AND MOLD FROM EVERY
RETAILER HE VISITED BACTERIA
THAT CAN MAKE PEOPLE SICK.
THE SHOPPERS WERE SHOCKED TO SEE
WHAT HE FOUND.
>> THIS IS AT A SHOPPERS DRUG
MART FROM A CREAM BLUSH TESTER.
>> MY GOODNESS.
GROSS.
>> THIS IS STAF FROM AN SEPHORA
MASCARA.
>> IT HAS BEEN YEARS I HAVE BEEN
DOING THIS.
I JUST FIND OUT ABOUT IT.
UNBELIEVABLE.
>> REPORTER: VANESSA AND
BRIANNE, THEY ARE FORMER
EMPLOYEES WHO SAID CLEANING
TESTERS WAS NOT COMMON.
>> WHEN I WORKED THERE, IN THE
BEAUTY BOUTIQUE I DID NOT CLEAN
A TESTER
ONCE.
>> REPORTER: SEPHORA AND MAC
TRAIN THEIR EMPLOYEES TO KEEP
THE TESTERS
CLEAN.
IN PRACTICE.
>> IT IS MORE DIFFICULT.
BECAUSE OF THE MAGNITUDE OF HOW
MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF BRANDS
THEY CARRY.
>> REPORTER: THE RETAILERS WE
VISITED TELL US THEY HAVE ROBUST
CLEANING PROCEDURES.
THE TESTERS ARE REGULARLY
SANITIZED.
AND THEY RECOMMEND CONSULTING
WITH A STAFF MEMBER BEFORE
TRYING ON A TESTER.
THE BODY SHOP ADDS, THEY WILL BE
REVISITING THE PROGRAM AS A
RESULT.
CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> ANDREW: YOU CAN WATCH THE
INVESTIGATION TOMORROW NIGHT ON
MARKETPLACE.
THE DIRTY TRUTH ABOUT MAKEUP.
IT AIRS AT
8 P.M. ON CBC TELEVISION.
8:30 IN NEWFOUNDLAND.
>> Ian: WHEN WE COME BACK, A
CANADIAN ETHICAL DILEMMA, YOU
GO INTO A TIM HORTONS AND ORDER
A SANDWICH.
THIS IS WHAT THEY GIVE YOU.
THAT HAPPENED TO A WOMAN IN
NEWFOUNDLAND.
YOU WILL HEAR FROM HER AFTER THE
BREAK.
>>> AND REMEMBER, YOU CAN GET
THE REAL STORY FROM CBC NEWS
JOURNALISTS ALL DAY LONG.
FIND POWERFUL IMAGES ON
>> Andrew: TONIGHT ON "THE
NATIONAL," BREAKING NEWS OUT OF
ONTARIO.
THE P.C. PARTY HAS BLOCKED ITS
FORMER LEADER, PATRICK BROWN,
FROM RUNNING IN THE UPCOMING
ELECTION.
THE PARTY MET TODAY AND SAID
THAT BROWN IS NOT AN ELIGIBLE
CANDIDATE.
BROWN HIMSELF POSTED ON TWITTER
CONFIRMATION THAT HE WILL NOT BE
RUNNING IN THE ELECTION.
THIS PAST JANUARY HE RESIGNED AS
PARTY LEADER OVER SEXUAL
MISCONDUCT ALLEGATIONS, WHICH HE
HAS VOWED TO FIGHT.
HE ALSO BOWED OUT OF THE
SUBSEQUENT LEADERSHIP RACE, BUT
SAYS HE REMAINS COMMITTED TO THE
CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT.
>>> WORLD-FAMOUS CONDUCTOR FIRED
OVER SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
ALLOCATIONS IS FIGHTING BACK.
JAMES LAVINE FILED A LAWSUIT,
SAYING THAT COMPANY HAD BEEN
TRYING TO FORCE HIM OUT AND THEY
USED WHAT HE CALLED "BASELESS
ALLEGATIONS" TO FIRE HIM.
LAVINE IS ASKING FOR $5.8
MILLION IN DAMAGE.
>>> TWO CHEMICAL PLANT WORKERS
HURT AND ANOTHER IS MISSING
AFTER A MAJOR FIRE AT A FACILITY
IN TEXAS.
A WORKER MAY HAVE SOMEHOW
SPARKED THE FIRE WHILE CHEMICALS
WERE BEING MIXED.
HE WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL
WITH BURN INJURIES.
AS FOR THE MISSING WORKER, THE
SITE IS TOO DANGEROUS TO SEARCH,
OFFICIALS SAY.
>>> YOU COULD SAY IT WAS RAINING
GOLD TODAY IN RUSSIA.
THIS VIDEO WAS TAKEN AT AN
AIRPORT IN EAST SIBERIA.
A CARGO PLANE WAS TAKING OFF
WITH ITS HATCH BREAKING OPEN,
SENDING $360 MILLION OF GOLD AND
OTHER PRECIOUS METALS FLYING.
THE CARGO CAME FROM A MINE OWNED
BY A CANADIAN COMPANY, KINROSS
GOLD.
THE GOOD NEWS -- ALL THE BARS
THAT FELL FROM THE PLANE HAVE
BEEN RECOVERED.
OR MAYBE THAT'S BAD NEWS,
DEPENDING ON YOUR PERSPECTIVE.
>>> FOR MANY CANADIANS, THIS
COUNTRY'S CONTRIBUTION TO
PEACEKEEPING IS A SOURCE OF
GREAT PRIDE, BUT CANADA'S
PRESENCE OVERSEAS IS DWINDLING.
MURRAY BREWSTER WALKS US THROUGH
IT ALL.
>> Reporter: THE MYTHOLOGY OF
PEACEKEEPING HASEK -- HAS
HHA
HAS ECHOED EVER SINCE.
>> Reporter: DECADES LATER, THE
IDEA OF PEACEKEEPING CONTINUES
TO SHAPE THE COUNTRY IN SUBTLE
AND RENOWNED WAYS.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: LET'S BE A PART OF
PEACEKEEPING AND BE PART OF A
MORE STABLE WORLD FOR ALL.
>> Reporter: IN 2016, THE
GOVERNMENT PROMISED 600 TROOPS
AND 150 POLICE OFFICERS TO THE
U.N.
TWO YEARS LATER, THERE'S LITTLE
SIGN OF THEM.
AS OF THE END OF FEBRUARY, THERE
WERE 22 SOLDIERS TAKING PART IN
FOUR U.N. MISSIONS, ACCORDING TO
D.N.D.
THE U.N.'S COUNT IS SLIGHTLY
HIGHER, 41, BECAUSE IT INCLUDES
STAFF POSITIONS.
EITHER WAY, IT'S THE LOWEST
NUMBER EVER.
SEPARATELY, CANADA HAS 70
PEACEKEEPERS INVOLVED IN A
NON-U.N. MISSION IN THE SINAI
PENINSULA.
IN 1993, CANADA HAD 3, 300
TROOPS OVERSEAS.
WHAT IS WITH THE HESITATION?
THE LIBERALS, IT WOULD SEEM, ARE
VICTIMS OF THEIR OWN SUCCESS IN
MYTH MAKING.
POLLS HAVE SHOWN THAT WHEN IT
COMES TO PEACEKEEPING, CANADIANS
HAVE A SELECTIVE MEMORY.
CANADIANS CHOOSE TO REMEMBER
CYPRUS, IT WAS SAFE AND WE WERE
DOING GOOD.
CANADIANS CHOOSE NOT TO REMEMBER
THE BAD TIMES, RWANDA BEING ONE
OF THEM.
>> THE CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN
MASSACRED.
>> Reporter: AND IT'S THOSE
NIGHTMARES THAT HAUNT
GOVERNMENTS TODAY.
>> THEY REALISE THAT A
PEACEKEEPING MISSION, ESPECIALLY
IN AFRICA, WHERE MOST
PEACEKEEPERS ARE DEPLOYED, IS A
PRETTY DANGEROUS BUSINESS.
QUITE HONESTLY, THE GOVERNMENT
HAS OR SHOULD HAVE HIGHER
PRIORITIES.
>> Reporter: SOME U.N. DIPLOMATS
SAY THEY'VE GIVEN UP WAITING FOR
CANADA.
MURRAY BREWSTER, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> Andrew: SO CANADA HAS A TOTAL
OF 41 PERSONNEL SUPPORTING U.N.
PEACEKEEPING MISSIONS.
LET'S PUT THAT NUMBER IN
PERSPECTIVE BY LOOKING AT WHERE
SOME OF OUR CLOSEST ALLIES
STAND.
FRANCE, GERMANY AND THE U.K.
HAVE HUNDREDS.
THE CONTRIBUTION FROM THE U.S.
IS CLOSER TO CANADA, THOUGH IT'S
THE LARGEST FINANCIAL
CONTRIBUTOR.
>> Ian: LET'S CHANGE THE TONE.
IT DOESN'T GET MUCH MORE
CANADIAN THAN THIS, NOT JUST
THAT IT HAPPENED, BUT HOW MUCH
ATTENTION THE STORY HAS BEEN
GETTING
A ST. JOHN'S-AREA WOMAN THOUGHT
SHE WAS GETTING A CHICKEN WRAP
FROM A TIM HORTONS, BUT SHE WAS
IN FOR A BIG SURPRISE.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT IS OUR
"MOMENT OF THE DAY."
>> WHEN I GET TO WORK, I OPEN
THE BAG
DEFINITELY NO SANDWICH.
INSTEAD, THERE WAS A FULL BAG OF
PRIZE TABS.
IT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT WHAT I WAS
EXPECTING.
AND I KNEW IT WAS A MISTAKE.
LATER IN THE AFTERNOON, I
RETURNED THE BAG OF TABS.
THE STORE GAVE ME A $40 GIFT
CARD FOR MY HONESTY, WHICH I
APPRECIATED, BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT
ANYTHING.
OBVIOUSLY, I WANTED TO DO WHAT
WAS RIGHT.
I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD A CLEAR
CONSCIOUS IF I WENT AROUND WITH
A BAG FULL OF PRIZE-WINNINGS
THAT WERE NOT MINE.
>> Ian: WE ALWAYS TRY TO FIGURE
OUT HOW MUCH CONTEXT WE NEED IN
A STORY, EXCEPT NOT MUCH.
ANYONE VISITING AND WATCHING THE
SHOW OF AND NOT FROM CANADA MUST
BE LOOKING AT THAT STORE, ROLL
UP THE RIM, THE FRAGMENTS FROM
COFFEE CUPS WONDERING, WHAT IS
GOING ON?
>> Andrew: MY REACTION TO THE
STORY IS, SO THAT'S WHERE THEY
ALL WENT?
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY COFFEES
I'VE BOUGHT AND EVERY TIME I
ROLL UP, IT'S THE "PLAY AGAIN"
MESSAGE.
NOW THE MYSTERY'S SOLVED.
>> Ian: ALWAYS THE SERIOUS
JOURNALIST CANADA SHOULD KNOW,
ANDREW ASKED, SURELY TIM HORTONS
HAS A SYSTEM SO THAT THEY CAN
CANCEL THE WINNING FRAGMENTS OF
CUPS WHEN THEY'RE HANDED IN.
ANDREW, WE DETERMINED THAT'S NOT
THE CASE.
THEY DON'T PUT A MARKER ON IT OR
A HOLE PUNCH.
I SHOULDN'T SAY THIS, BECAUSE
WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN
TONIGHT, BUT AT EVERY TIM
HORTONS, THERE'S A BAG LIKE
THAT.
>> Andrew: IT'S INCREDIBLE HOW
MUCH TRACTION THIS STORY HAS
GOTTEN.
IT'S WHAT EVERYBODY IS TALKING
ABOUT AND WHAT WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT IN OUR MEETING EARLIER.
>> Ian: THAT'S THE SHOW FOR
TONIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Andrew: GOOD NIGHT.
