>> Adrienne: ON THIS FRIDAY
NIGHT, WE LOOK AT THE POWER AND
INFAMY OF THIS DATE FROM TWO
PERSPECTIVES.
ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE
COLUMBINE SCHOOL SHOOTING THEY
TAKE TO THE STREETS AND A COURT
INSPIRES A WOULD BE KILLER
INSPIRED BY THE MASSACRE.
>> Ian: ALSO TONIGHT, NORTH
KOREA'S LEADER WILL SUSPEND
NUCLEAR AND MISSILE TESTS.
WHAT MIGHT HE WANT IN RETURN?
>> Andrew: THE SCREEN YOUR KIDS
PRESS THEIR NOSES TO AND THE
CONNECTION TO A GROWING PROBLEM,
NEARSIGHTEDNESS.
WE'LL LOOK INTO THE RESEARCH.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL".
>> Adrienne: WHEN IT COMES TO
THE MASSIVE VIOLENCE GUNS CAN
DO, APRIL 20TH DOES HOLD AN
ESPECIALLY HATEFUL ASSOCIATION.
YOU CAN SUM IT UP IN A WORD.
COLUMBINE.
THE BEGINNING OF A CONTINUING
PLAGUE OF SCHOOL SHOOTINGS.
19 YEARS AGO, THOSE KIDS RAN
FRANTICALLY FROM A BUILDING IN
WHICH 13 WERE KILLED, BUT THIS
YEAR, TODAY'S STUDENTS LED BY
PARKLAND, FLORIDA ARE GIVING THE
ANNIVERSARY A NEW MEANING,
MARKING NOT JUST REMEMBRANCE,
BUT PROTEST.
WE'LL HEAR FROM THEM IN A
MOMENT.
BUT WE WANT TO START WITH THE
CANADIAN STORY THAT NOW SHARES
THIS DATE AND COULD HAVE SHARED
ITS HORROR.
BECAUSE IN AN EERIE COINCIDENCE,
TODAY A HALIFAX COURT SENTENCED
AN AMERICAN WOMAN OBSESSED WITH
COLUMBINE AND TRIED TO BRING
MASS DEATH.
>> Reporter: LINDSAY
SOUVANNARATH'S PARENTS TRAVEL TO
CANADA FROM ILLINOIS TO LEARN
THEIR DAUGHTER'S FATE.
SHE PLEADED GUILTY TO CONSPIRACY
TO COMMIT MURDER AFTER PLOTTING
A MASSACRE AT THE MALL.
TODAY SHE WAS SENTENCED TO LIFE
WITH NO CHANCE OF PAROLE.
>> IT SENDS A CLEAR MESSAGE TO
ANYONE WHO THINKS OF
PARTICIPATING TO THIS RANDOM
KILLING OF INNOCENT CITIZENS
WILL SUFFER VERY SERIOUS
CONSEQUENCES.
>> Reporter: BACK IN FEBRUARY,
2015, LINDSAY SOUVANNARATH
WASN'T WORRIED ABOUT THAT, I
PURCHASED THE PLANE TICKET, I'M
LEAVING FOR CANADA TOMORROW AND
THE ONLY WAY I'M COMING BACK IS
IN THE BODY BAG, SHE WROTE.
7 AND A HALF WEEKS EARLIER SHE
MET JAMES GAMBLE.
THEY BONDED OVER THE SHARED
FASCINATION OF THE COLUMBINE
MASSACRE.
PLANNING TO OPEN FIRE IN THE
FOOD COURT.
GAMBLE HAD TRIED TO PARTNER WITH
HIS BEST FRIEND RANDY SHEPHERD,
BUT WHILE HE SUPPORTED THE PLAN,
HE WANTED GAMBLE TO KILL HIM
BEFORE THE MASSACRE.
LINDSAY SOUVANNARATH WAS
INTERCEPTED BY THE CANADA BORDER
SERVICES AGENCY AND ARRESTED BY
POLICE AT HALIFAX AIRPORT.
>> THE STORY DIDN'T MATCH, THERE
WERE DISCREPANCIES, SHE DIDN'T
HAVE THE MONEY SHE NEEDED, THE
PLANE TICKET PURCHASED AT THE
LAST MINUTE, COMING TO VISIT A
BOYFRIEND.
>> Reporter: JAMES GAMBLE KILLED
HIMSELF AS POLICE CLOSED IN.
SHEPHERD IS NOW SERVING A
10E-YEAR SENTENCE.
TODAY, THE JUDGE BELIEVED BEYOND
A REASONABLE DOUBT THE MASSACRE
WOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE IF NOT
FOR THAT CRIMESTOPPERS TIP AND
THE QUICK ACTION OF THE POLICE.
>> THIS MADE IT REAL, BROUGHT IT
HOME TO US THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS
AT RICK, WAS AT RISK AND THAT
SOMETHING VERY SERIOUS WAS ONLY
NARROWLY AVERTED.
>> Reporter: LINDSAY
SOUVANNARATH GETS CREDIT FOR
TIME SERVED, MEANING HER FIRST
OPPORTUNITY FOR PAROLE WILL BE
SEVEN YEARS FROM NOW, BUT IN HAD
CASE, LIFE IN PRISON REALLY
MEANS LIFE, SO SHE MAY NEVER BE
RELEASED.
>> Adrienne: KATE BATTEN WAS THE
LEAD ON THE MASSACRE.
PROSECUTORS ASKED HER TO WRITE A
REPORT BETWEEN THE MALL PLOT AND
COLUMBINE, THOSE TIES ARE
UNSETTLING.
BATTEN SAYS LINDSAY SOUVANNARATH
AND GAMBLE BELIEVED THEY WERE
REINCARNATIONS OF THE COLUMBINE
KILLERS, LINDSAY SOUVANNARATH
SAYING MAYBE ERIC AND DYLAN HAVE
BECOME US, BECOME PART OF OUR
MINDS, ADDING WHEN ERIC AND
DYLAN BOTH DIED, THEIR MISSION
ON EARTH WASN'T FINISHED YET SO
THEY HAD TO TAKE US OVER.
BATTEN SAYS LINDSAY SOUVANNARATH
AND GAMBLE PLANNED TO DRESS LIKE
THEIR HEROINGS, ALL IN BLACK,
USING SAWED-OFF SHOTGUNS, EVEN
PLANNING TO CARRY KNIVES FOR
WHEN THEY RAN OUT OF BULLETS.
>> Ian: BUT COLUMBINE WAS GIVEN
A DIFFERENT MEANING TODAY WHERE
THE MASSACRE BECAME A TOUCH
STONE FOR THIS GENERATION OF
STUDENTS.
>> THIS WAS A DECISION THAT WAS
LEFT UP TO THE ADULTS AND
THEY'VE PROVED THAT THEY WEREN'T
ABLE TO GET THE JOB DONE, SO
MAYBE IT'S TIME TO LISTEN TO THE
YOUTH.
>> Ian: JUST WEEKS AFTER THE
FIRST MASS OF WALKOUTS OVER THE
SCHOOL SHOOTING, FRUSTRATED
STUDENTS TOOK TO THE STREETS
AGAIN TO PROTEST AGAINST CURRENT
GUN LAWS.
>> WE WANT CHANGE!
WE WANT CHANGE!
>> IT'S OBVIOUSLY GOING TO TAKE
A LOT OF CHANGE AND A LOT MORE
MARCHES TO GET OUR MESSAGE
ACROSS.
>> Ian: THEY WALKED OUT FROM
SCHOOL, GATHERED AT MASSIVE
RALLIES AND HELD MOMENTS OF
SILENCE, ALL WITH THE GOAL OF
TURNING PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION TO
POLITICAL ACTION.
>> IF WE DON'T WALK INTO THE
BALLOT BOX, THESE POLITICIANS
ARE NOT GOING TO LISTEN.
>> Ian: STEVEN D'SOUZA FOLLOWED
ONE GROUP OF STUDENTS ALL THE
WAY TO A MASS RALLY IN
MANHATTAN.
>> Reporter: WITH MORE THAN
6,000 STUDENTS, THE BIGGEST
QUESTION FOR ORGANIZERS AT
BROOKLYN TECH WASN'T GOING TO BE
HOW MANY WOULD WALK OUT AT 10
A.M.?
BUT WHETHER THEY'D ALL MAKE THE
TRIP INTO THE CITY FOR TODAY'S
PROTEST.
15-YEAR-OLD ALEX IS LEADING THE
CHARGE AND IS CONFIDENT IN HIS
CLASSMATES.
>> I DON'T THINK ANYBODY IS
GOING TO GO HOME, I BELIEVE
EVERYONE BELIEVES IN THE ISSUE
AND WANTS TO FIGHT AND PROTEST.
>> Reporter: AS THE STUDENTS
POUR INTO THE SUBWAY, IT'S CLEAR
HIS TRUST ISN'T MISPLACED.
>> THIS IS ACTUALLY MANY MORE
PEOPLE THAN I IMAGINED.
>> Reporter: ON BOARD, THE
ENTHUSIASM OF THE STUDENTS IS
ENOUGH TO WARM THE HEARTS OF
CYNICAL NEW YORKERS.
ONCE IN MANHATTAN, THEY WASTE NO
TIME ANNOUNCING THEIR PRESENCE.
>> TELL ME WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS
LIKE!
>> Reporter: AS THEY ARRIVE IN
WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK, THEIR
VOICES JOIN THE STUDENTS FROM
DOZENS OF SCHOOLS AROUND THE
CITY.
ONE THING YOU NOTICE QUICKLY IN
THE CROWD, THERE IS SOMETHING
MISSING, THAT'S ADULTS.
THAT'S BECAUSE THIS MOVEMENT WAS
STUDENT DRIVEN AND ORGANIZED.
>> ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
>> POLITICIANS IN CONGRESS ARE
HOPING WE'RE GOING TO FORGET,
BUT WE'RE NOT.
>> Reporter: THE INSPIRATION OF
THE PARKLAND, FLORIDA STUDENTS
IS EVERYWHERE, BUT FOR EVERYONE
HERE, IT'S MORE THAN SCHOOL
SHOOTINGS, IT'S GUN VIOLENCE IN
THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES, INCLUDING
THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH POLICE.
>> THIS IS SOMETHING BLACK
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH
FOR FAR TOO LONG.
>> Reporter: THE COLUMBINE
TRAGEDY SHAPED THE WORLD IN
WHICH THESE STUDENTS GREW UP.
TODAY, THEY HEARD FROM ONE THE
SURVIVORS WHO THOUGHT THAT EVENT
SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO
INSPIRE CHANGE.
>> WE ALL DEVELOPED A SENSE OF
HOPELESSNESS THAT ANYTHING WOULD
CHANGE.
>> Reporter: FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN 19 YEARS, SHE'S OPTIMISTIC.
>> YES, I 100% BELIEVE IN THESE
KIDS.
>> Reporter: THIS IS A
GENERATION STARTING TO REALIZE
ITS POWER.
>> WHEN THE KIDS GET TOGETHER,
BLACK KIDS, WHITE KIDS, LATINO
KIDS, THIS IS WHEN THEY START TO
LISTEN.
>> Reporter: A BIT OF OPTIMISM
WITH A DOSE OF REALITY.
>> I THINK I CAN BE PESSIMISTIC,
BUT I'M OPTIMISTIC TO BE OUT
HERE.
>> Reporter: THE STUDENTS
PROMISE WHETHER IT'S ON THE
STREETS OR IN THE BALLOT BOX,
YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THE LAST OF
THEM.
>> Ian: THE MAJORITY OF
AMERICANS, 57% SUPPORT NEW GUN
CONTROL LAWS, THAT'S UP FROM 46%
THREE YEARS AGO.
AND IT'S HIGHER THAN IT WAS IN
2012 AFTER THE SANDY HOOK
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SHOOTING WHERE
26 PEOPLE WERE KILLED, MOSTLY
CHILDREN.
STUDENTS AT COLUMBINE HIGH
SCHOOL DIDN'T PARTICIPATE IN THE
WALKOUTS, THE SCHOOL DID WHAT
IT'S DONE EVERY APRIL 20TH,
CLOSING THE SCHOOL TO MARK THE
TRAGEDY, TAKING TIME TO REFLECT.
CBC NEWS SPOKE WITH FOUR
SURVIVORS OF THE COLUMBINE
MASSACRE ABOUT THEY'RE MEMORIES
OF THAT DAY AND THEIR FAITH IN
THE YOUNGER GENERATION.
>> 19 YEARS AGO IT SURPRISED ME.
I DID NOT EXPECT ANYTHING LIKE
THAT IN MY HIGH SCHOOL
EXPERIENCE.
>> I CAN REMEMBER EVERYTHING,
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS WEARING, WHAT
MY BACKPACK LOOKED LIKE, WHO I
WAS TALKING TO WHEN IT HAPPENED
AND THERE IS A LOT OF DETAIL
THAT IS STILL FRESH.
>> WHEN PEOPLE ASK ME WHEN DOES
IT GET BACK TO NORMAL?
UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT I TELL THEM,
IT WILL NEVER GET BACK TO
NORMAL.
>> ALMOST TWO DECADES REMOVED
FROM COLUMBINE, WE CAN LOOK AT
THE EFFECTS THAT A TRAGEDY LIKE
THIS HAS.
MY PRIMARY EMOTION IS ANGER AND
ANGER DUE TO THE LACK OF ACTION
IN MAKING ANY MEANINGFUL
REFORMS.
>> JUST CRAZY IT'S STILL
HAPPENING, IT'S HARD TO -- IT'S
REALLY HARD TO GET OVER THAT,
THAT PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO HAVE
THE SAME OBJECTION TO IT THAT I
DO.
>> WE HAVE THREE CONSTITUTIONAL
CONCEPTS, FREEDOM OF SPEECH,
FREEDOM TO CARRY AND DUE PROCESS
THAT SAYS WE CANNOT ARREST,
DETAIN YOU OR TAKE POSSESSIONS
FROM YOU UNLESS YOU BREAK THE
LAW.
THOSE THREE THINGS HAVE CREATED
A CULTURE THAT ALLOWED FOR THIS
TO HAPPEN.
>> IF ANYBODY SAYS GUNS DON'T
PLAY A PART IN THE PROBLEMS
WE'RE SEEING, IT'S ABSURD.
TO ME, WE'RE NOT DEALING WITH
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE
PERPETRATOR ANYMORE, WE'RE
DEALING WITH SOCIOLOGY.
>> HEARING COLUMBINE IS AN
ANNIVERSARY TO INSTIGATE THIS
CAN HIT CLOSE TO HOME, BUT I
THINK OUR STUDENTS SHOULD BE
ANGRY AND IN THE UNITED STATES,
GRASSROOTS ACTIVISM IS NOW
COMMON TO MAKE OUR POLITICIANS
LISTEN TO US.
AND I'M PROUD OF THE STUDENTS
WHO ARE AT LEAST JOINING THE
CONVERSATION.
>> HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
TALK WITH MANY OF THE STUDENTS
FROM PARKLAND THIS ISN'T A NEW
IDEA FOR THEM THAT HAPPENED
AFTER THE TRAGEDY.
THESE ARE VALUES THAT THEY HAVE
ALWAYS HELD.
>> THEY SHOULD BE ANGRY THAT THE
BURDEN OF SAFETY HAS BEEN PUSHED
ONTO THEM, THAT WE DO THESE
DRILLS, THESE ACTIVE SHOOTER
DRILLS.
>> THEY'RE SAYING ACTION NEEDS
TO BE TAKEN, SO WE'RE GOING TO
TAKE CHARGE AND HOPEFULLY, THEY
HAVE MORE SUCCESS THAN THE
ADULTS HAVE.
>> Ian: AND ONE MORE NOTE, THERE
WAS A SHOOTING INCIDENT AT A
SCHOOL TODAY IN FLORIDA.
STUDENTS THERE WERE PLANNING TO
WALK OUT, BUT A 19-YEAR-OLD WHO
WASN'T A STUDENT SHOT A
17-YEAR-OLD IN THE ANKLE.
HERE'S WHAT ELSE WE'RE
FOLLOWING.
OUTPOURING OF LOVE FOR SWEDISH
D.J. AVICII.
HE DIED TODAY AT 28.
>> Adrienne: A SURPRISING
ANNOUNCEMENT FROM NORTH KOREAN
LEADER KIM JONG-UN.
AFTER AN AGGRESSIVE PUSH TO
EXPAND HIS COUNTRY'S NUCLEAR
PROGRAMME, KIM SAYS HIS COUNTRY
IS DONE WITH MISSILE TESTS
THEY'RE NO LONGER NEEDED.
HE ANNOUNCED JUST HOURS AGO THAT
HIS REGIME HAS SUSPENDED ITS
NUCLEAR LONG-RANGE MISSILE TESTS
AND PLANS TO CLOSE ITS NUCLEAR
TEST SITE.
THAT MOVE COMES JUST AHEAD OF
PLANNED MEETINGS BETWEEN KIM
JONG-UN AND LEADERS OF SOUTH
KOREA AND THE UNITED STATES.
AT THIS POINT, NO WORD ON WHAT
WILL HAPPEN TO THE NUCLEAR
WEAPONS AND MISSILES THAT HAVE
ALREADY BEEN DEVELOPED.
THE NORTH HASN'T INDICATED ANY
PLANS TO DISMANTLE THEY WILL,
BUT ON TWITTER TONIGHT,
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SOUNDED
OPTIMISTIC, SAYING NORTH KOREA
HAS AGREED TO SUSPEND ALL
NUCLEAR TESTS AND CLOSE UP A
MAJOR TEST SITE.
THIS IS VERY GOOD NEWS FOR NORTH
KOREA AND THE WORLD, BIG
PROGRESS, LOOK FORWARD TO THE
SUMMIT.
I'M JOINED BY JANICE STEIN.
TOO SOON TO CELEBRATE?
>> IT REALLY IS, THERE IS ALWAYS
A BUT AND THE BUT IS, WE'VE BEEN
HERE TWICE BEFORE WHERE TESTING
HAS BEEN SUSPENDED.
HIS FATHER OFFERED TO
DENUCLEARLIZE AND DEALS BROKE
DOWN AND ONCE BECAUSE NORTH
KOREA CHEATED.
>> Adrienne: VERIFICATION IS AN
ISSUE?
>> HUGE, HUGE, IT'S ALL ABOUT
THE DETAILS.
IT'S POSSIBLE THEY CAN REACH A
FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT AND
NEGOTIATIONS CAN BREAK DOWN.
IT IS ENCOURAGING THAT HE
SUSPENDED MISSILE TESTING,
THOUGH, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WAS
RATCHETING UP THE TENSION, BUT
WE'RE AT THE EARLY STAGE.
>> Adrienne: REGARDLESS OF
WHETHER IT HAPPENS, THIS SEEMS
TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE A MEETING
WITH DONALD TRUMP IS ALL THE
MORE LIKELY, BECAUSE THIS WOULD
BE A CONDITION OF THE MEETING,
SO WHAT DOES KIM JONG-UN WANT
FROM THE MEETING IN
>> I THINK THERE ARE TWO KEY
THINGS HE WANTS, FIRST OF ALL,
AND THIS IS A TOUGH ONE.
HE WANTS TO BE ASSURED THERE
WILL BE NO REGIME CHANGE.
RIGHT AFTER THAT, HE WANTS AN
END TO THE CRIPPLING ECONOMIC
SANCTIONS.
AND HE WANTS A PEACE TREATY TO
END THE WAR IN KOREA, IN WHICH
THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA AS
WELL AS SOUTH KOREA WILL HAVE TO
SIGN OFF.
BUT THAT WILL COME ONLY AT THE
END, AFTER THESE NUCLEAR WEAPONS
HAVE BEEN DISMANTLED AND WE ARE
MANY MOONS AWAY FROM THAT.
>> Adrienne: I FEEL THE
SKEPTICAL WINDS.
THANK YOU, JANICE STEIN.
>> Andrew: SEX, DRUGS AND
PIPELINES.
A FULL 18 MONTHS FROM THE NEXT
FEDERAL ELECTION.
3,000 LIBERALS ARE IN HALIFAX
TONIGHT DRAFTING POLICY ON
SEVERAL BIG ISSUES.
THINK OF IT AS THE PARTY'S
UNOFFICIAL CAMPAIGN LAUNCH.
THEIR AIM TO REVITALIZE THE
MESSAGE OF REAL CHANGE THAT
JUSTIN TRUDEAU PROMISED IN 2015.
THEY'VE TURNED TO A WHITE HOUSE
STRATEGIST FOR ADVICE.
[ * ]
>> Reporter: A WARM EAST COAST
WELCOME ON THE INSIDE.
>> WE'RE ADDICTED TO ENERGY,
TECHNOLOGY --
>> Reporter: LESS WARM ON THE
OUTSIDE.
OIL AND PIPELINES ARE BIG
POLITICS FOR THE LIBERALS RIGHT
NOW.
>> WE'RE UNDER NO ILLUSIONS
ABOUT HOW CONTROVERSIAL THESE
PROJECTS ARE.
THEY DIVIDE POLITICAL PARTIES.
>> Reporter: SO SENIOR MINISTERS
TRIED TO RALLY SUPPORTERS WHO
MIGHT BE NERVOUS ABOUT BUILDING
AN ALBERTA PIPELINE TO THE B.C.
COAST.
>> AND THAT'S WHY I NEED YOU TO
STAND UP AND SUPPORT WHAT WE ARE
DOING TO TAKE ACTION ON CLIMATE
CHANGE AND ALSO SUPPORT PROJECTS
THAT MAKE SENSE IN GETTING
RESOURCES TO MARKET.
>> Reporter: THE LIBERALS HAVE
PROMISED FANGS SUPPORT TO GET
THE -- FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO GET
THE PIPELINE BUILT, THEY'VE
ALREADY TAKEN POLITICAL
OWNERSHIP OF IT, EVEN THE
LIBERAL M.P.s FROM B.C. WHERE
MANY VOTERS OPPOSE IT.
>> THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT
OBVIOUSLY ARE OPPOSED TO THE
PIPELINE, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE IN FAVOUR OF THE
PIPELINE.
WE'RE MOVING ON THE PIPELINE
BECAUSE AS HAS BEEN SAID MANY
TIMES, IT'S IN THE NATIONAL
INTEREST.
>> Reporter: THIS CONVENTION IS
ABOUT GETTING READY FOR THE NEXT
ELECTION AND REVEALING THE
CHALLENGES OF A PARTY IN POWER
SEEKING A SECOND TERM.
>> IT'S IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE
KNOW WHAT THE CHOICES ARE AND
WHAT PATH THEY'RE CHOOSING.
>> Reporter: SO THEY'RE GETTING
HEAVY WEIGHT ADVICE FROM DAVID
AXELROD, HE IS ADVISING THE
LIBERALS TO DEFEND THE RECORD,
CRITIQUE OPPONENTS, BUT NOT GO
OVER THE LINE.
>> IT WOULD BE DERELICT AS IT
WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR US IN 2012
IN THE U.S. NOT TO MAKE SURE
THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD WHAT THE
CHOICES WERE.
THAT IS NOT TO SAY THAT THE
POLITICS OF DESTRUCTION ARE THE
WAY TO GO.
>> Reporter: IT'S A DELICATE
BALANCE FOR A PRIME MINISTER WHO
HAS BUILT HIS BRAND ON POSITIVE
POLITICS, WHO WON GOVERNMENT ON
THE PROMISE OF CHANGE, BUT NOW
HAS TO RUN ON HIS RECORD.
>> Andrew: SO DAVID HIGHLIGHTED
THE PIPELINE POLITICS, BUT YOU
MAY BE WONDERING ABOUT THE SEX
AND DRUGS.
THE PARTY YOUTH WRING HAS
PROPOSED DECRIMINALIZING
PROSTITUTION, WHILE THEY WANT TO
THE SAME WITH ANYONE CAUGHT WITH
A SMALL AMOUNT OF HARD DRUG.
THEY'RE ALL UP FOR RESOLUTION,
BUT THE OUTCOMES WILL NOT BE
BINDING HEADING INTO THE NEXT
ELECTION.
>> Adrienne: HERE'S WHAT ELSE
WE'RE WORKING ON.
IT'S CANADA'S LAST 4-20 BEFORE
LEGALIZATION, IS THIS COUNTRY
READY FOR THE END OF THE POT
PROHIBITION?
>> Ian: THE MUSIC WORLD MARKS
THE DEATH OF AVICII, WHY HAD IS
SHORT CAREER LEFT A MARK.
>>> AND WHY CANADIAN KIDS NEED
GLASSES YOUNGER THAN EVER.
>> MORE TIME SPENT ON TABLETS,
CELL PHONES, COMPUTER TERMINALS,
TV AND PERHAPS LESS TIME
OUTSIDE.
YOUR PHONE ONLY TO LOOK UP AT
THE REAL WORLD AND FEEL A BIT
BLEARY EYED, YOU MAY WONDER IF
ALL THE SCREEN TIME IS BAD FOR
YOUR EYES.
WELL IT MIGHT BE, ESPECIALLY FOR
CHILDREN.
RESEARCHERS POINT TO AN
INCREASING NUMBER OF KIDS WHO
ARE MYOPIC OR NEARSIGHTED AND
THAT CAN SPIRAL INTO OTHER
PROBLEMS.
CHRISTINE BIRAK HAS THAT STORY.
>> IT'S IN A SENSE LIKE LOOKING
THROUGH A FROSTY GLASS.
>> Reporter: THIS IS HOW MORE
AND MORE PEOPLE ARE SEEING THE
WORLD, UP CLOSE, EVERYTHING IS
CLEAR, BUT MOVE FARTHER AWAY AND
IT ALL BECOMES A BLUR.
RATES OF MYOPIA OR
NEARSIGHTEDNESS ARE SKYROCKETING
AND IT APPEARS CANADIANS ARE
LOSING VISION YOUNGER THAN EVER.
>> WE'RE SEEING CHILDREN, 5 OR 6
WHO ARE BECOMING MYOPIC, THAT'S
ONE THE CONCERNS WE HAVE, THE
EARLIER ON SET THAN 20 YEARS
AGO.
>> Reporter: A RECENT STUDY
FOUND THAT CHILDREN BETWEEN THE
AGES OF 11 AND 13, 30% WERE
NEARSIGHTED AND SOME DIDN'T KNOW
IT.
FOR 6-8-YEAR-OLDS, IT WAS 6%.
GLASSES ARE THE NORM, BUT
EXPERTS INSIST MYOPIA CAN HAVE
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.
>> IT ISN'T INNOCUOUS, AS SOON
AS YOU'RE MYOPIC, YOUR RISK
ASSOCIATED WITH THAT INCREASES
AND THE HIGHER YOUR
PRESCRIPTION, THE HIGHER THE
RISK.
>> Reporter: AND THE EARLIER
MYOPIA STARTS AND GOES
UNDIAGNOSED, THE FASTER IT
DEVELOPS.
GENETICS PLAY A ROLE, BUT
DOCTORS THINK IT'S STARTING
YOUNGER BECAUSE OF, YOU GUESSED
IT, ALL THAT SCREEN TIME.
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT OUR
SCREENS ARE REPLACING.
>> THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF
EVIDENCE THAT SHOWS THAT
SPENDING TIME OUTDOORS IS
ACTUALLY PROTECTIVE FACTOR
AGAINST MYOPIA.
>> Reporter: THE STUDY WENT
FURTHER SHOWING THAT FOR EVERY
EXTRA HOUR SPENT OUTDOORS PER
WEEK, A CHILD'S ODDS OF BEING
NEARSIGHTED DROPPED BY 14%.
IT MAY BE THE BRIGHT LIGHT,
VITAMIN D OR AFFECTS OF
SUNLIGHT, EITHER WAY IN CHINA,
WHERE MORE THAN HALF OF CHILDREN
ARE MYOPIC, THEY'RE BUILDING
GLASS CLASSROOMS.
AT HOME IN TORONTO, 7-YEAR-OLD
JACQUELINE IS BUSY, HER MOTHER
SAYS LIMITING SCREEN TIME TO AN
HOUR A DAY IS TOUGH, BUT SHE'LL
TRY.
>> WHEN WE THINK OF HOW WE
BUDGET OUR FAMILY TIME, I WOULD
BE MORE MOTIVATED TO GET OUTSIDE
MORE.
>> Reporter: FORESIGHT THAT
COULD HELP HER DAUGHTER SEE WELL
INTO THE FUTURE.
CHRISTINE BIRAK, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Andrew: CUTTING SCREEN TIME
MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE FOR
EVERYONE, SO EYE DOCTORS SAY IF
YOU CAN'T GET OUTSIDE, YOU CAN
FOLLOW THE 20/20/20 RULE.
THAT IS FOR EVERY 20 MINUTES YOU
SPEND STARING AT A COMPUTER
SCREEN OR SMART PHONE, TAKE A 20
SECOND REST BY LOOKING AT
SOMETHING 20 FEET AWAY.
THAT SHOULD HELP REFOCUS THE
EYES AND HOPEFULLY BE A STRONG
REMINDER WHY YOU SHOULDN'T BE
STARING AT THINGS CLOSE UP.
>> Adrienne: STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL", FISH FRAUD IS A
SERIOUS PROBLEM IN THE SEAFOOD
INDUSTRY.
>> FOR EXAMPLE, IN SUSHI
RESTAURANTS, NOT A SIN
PROGRAMME ABOUT THE DARK
SIGNIFICANCE OF TODAY'S DATE,
BUT IF YOU'VE BEEN OUTSIDE AT
ALL, YOU MAY HAVE GOTTEN A WHIFF
OF ONE OF THE OTHER CONNOTATIONS
OF APRIL 20, OR 4/20.
IT'S BEEN A RALLYING POINT FOR
POT ACTIVISTS FOR YEARS, BUT
THIS 2018 EDITION IS NOTEWORTHY
BECAUSE LEGALIZATION IN THIS
COUNTRY, JUST AROUND THE CORNER.
>> IT'S LIKE IT MIGHT BE THE
LAST ILLEGAL 4/20 EVER AND I
THOUGHT I'D COME FOR THE
SYMBOLIC REASONS FOR IT.
>> IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S THE LAST
TIME THE GATHERINGS WILL BE
CLOAKED IN DEFIANCE.
AND THOSE TITAN SIZED NOVELTY
JOINTS AND DRUM CIRCLES, PERHAPS
MORE ENDEARING.
IN VANCOUVER, 4/20 HAS HAD A
TRADE SHOW FEEL, BUT FOR NOW, AT
MANY GATHERINGS.
THE SPIRIT OF PROTEST REMAINS.
>> THEY'RE TAXING OUR
MEDICATION, THEY'RE STILL
ARRESTING OUR YOUTH.
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE SHUTTING DOWN
THE ACCESS POINTS.
>> Andrew: IT WOULD APPEAR THE
CORE MESSAGE IS THAT POT SHOULD
NOT STIGMATIZED HAS WON.
THIS COUNTRY HAS SEEN DECADES OF
PROHIBITION POLICIES.
AND NOW THE CHALLENGE FOR DRUG
PREVENTION ADVOCATES, HOW TO
MODIFY THEIR MESSAGE.
CAMERON MacINTOSH EXPLAINS.
>> WE KNOW THAT KIDS ARE GOING
TO EXPERIMENT.
>> Reporter: CONCERNED,
UNCERTAIN AND MORE THAN A BIT
CURIOUS.
AT THIS CANNABIS LEGISLATION,
MANY PARENTS ARE LOOKING FOR WAY
TO START A CONVERSATION.
>> I'M INTERESTED TO HEAR FROM
EXPERTS ABOUT ALL THE VARIOUS
ASPECTS AND I BROUGHT MY
DAUGHTER AND HER FRIEND.
SO IT'S GOOD FOR THEM TO BE
INFORMED AND FOR ME.
>> Reporter: SHE'S NOT THE ONLY
ONE, YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE MORE OF
THIS.
AN AD FROM DRUG FREE KIDS
CANADA, OFFERING INFORMATION
KITS ON CANNABIS AND ITS
EFFECTS.
PART OF A BIGGER NATIONAL
AWARENESS STRATEGY AIMED AT
GETTING KIDS AND PARENTS
TALKING.
>> IT'S REALLY NOT TRYING TO
MAKE A MESSAGE TO SMOKE OR NOT
TO SMOKE, IT'S THAT THE KIDS, TO
MAKE THEM WELL INFORMED.
>> Reporter: IT'S ONE OF SEVERAL
AGENCIES WORKING WITH THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT PROMISED
$34 BILLION FOR CANNABIS
AWARENESS AND EDUCATION OVER
FIVE YEARS.
YOU'RE STARTING TO SEE IT IN
TELEVISION ADS.
>> I DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE.
>> Reporter: NEXT WILL BE A PUSH
ONLINE AND IN MAILOUTS TO
SCHOOLS.
THE CANADIAN CENTRE ON SUBSTANCE
ABUSE AND ADDICTION IS HELPING
LEAD IT, JUST DON'T EXPECT A
JUST SAY NO TYPE OF MESSAGE.
>> THEY DON'T RESONATE WITH
YOUNG PEOPLE, YOUNG PEOPLE, WHAT
THEY'VE TOLD US THROUGH RESEARCH
IS THAT THEY WANT TO HEAR BOTH
SIDES OF THE STORY ON CANNABIS.
>> Reporter: PRIMARILY IT'S
EFFECTS OF DEVELOPMENT AND MOTOR
FUNCTION, THAT'S WHY WHAT YOU'VE
SEEN ALREADY IS FOCUSED ON
DRIVING.
16-24 IS THE TARGET AGE GROUP.
>> YOUR LIFE CAN CHANGE IN AN
INSTANT, DON'T DRIVE HIGH.
>> Reporter: DRIVING IS THE
BIGGEST CONCERN.
>> I HAVE A 15-YEAR-OLD AND ALL
HER FRIENDS ARE STARTING TO
DRIVE.
>> THIS HAS TO BE ONGOING FOR
YEARS AND YEARS.
>> Reporter: EXPECT TO SEE AND
HEAR MORE AND MORE OF IT.
MESSAGES DIRECTED AT CROWDS LIKE
THIS AND CANADIANS IN GENERAL AS
MORE CAMPAIGNS LAUNCH CLOSER TO
SUMMER.
CAMERON MacINTOSH, CBC NEWS,
WINNIPEG.
>> Andrew: WHILE LEGALIZATION OR
CANNABIS LOOMS, THOUSANDS OF
CANADIANS HAVE CRIMINAL RECORDS
FOR SIMPLE POSSESSION OF THE
DRUG.
WHICH CANADIANS?
WELL, SOME POLICE FORCES ACROSS
THE COUNTRY DON'T GATHER ARREST
STATS BY RACE AND FOR OTHERS,
THE DATA MIGHT BE THERE, BUT
ISN'T EASILY FOUND IN ONE PLACE.
IN VANCOUVER, FOR EXAMPLE, FROM
2015-17, WE KNOW THAT BLACK
RESIDENTS ARE JUST OVER 1% OF
THE POPULATION, BUT MAKE UP 5%
OF ARRESTS FOR SIMPLE MARIJUANA
POSSESSION.
INDIGENOUS RESIDENTS REPRESENT
IT 2.5% OF THE POPULATION, BUT
MORE THAN 14% OF THE ARRESTS.
WHERE CRIMINALIZATION HAS HURT
THE INDIGENOUS POPULATION, ON
SOME FIRST NATIONS RESERVES,
LEGALIZATION IS VIEWED AS AN
OPPORTUNITY.
THEY SPENT MONTHSI LOOKING INTO
THE EXPLOSION OF THE BUSINESS.
>> ON A SLOW DAY, FIVE GRAND.
ON A FAST DAY, TEN.
>> Reporter: THE POT BUSINESS
HAS BEEN GOOD IN THE MOHAWK
COMMUNITY.
MORE THAN 20 SHOPS SELL CANNABIS
IN THIS COMMUNITY OF ABOUT 2000.
JAMIE SMOKES SIGNALS, HE THINKS
THE ECONOMIC POTENTIAL FROM
LEGALIZATION COULD END THE
DEPENDENCE ON MONEY FROM OTTAWA.
>> THIS INDUSTRY HAS THE ABILITY
YOU COULD GO, WE DON'T NEED IT.
>> Reporter: BUT HE DOESN'T
BELIEVE ANY GOVERNMENT, CANADIAN
OR INDIGENOUS, HAS ANY SAY IN
HOW THOSE BUSINESSES SHOULD RUN.
>> THEY DON'T HAVE RIGHTS, NOR
DO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO
NEGOTIATE ABOUT MY RIGHTS.
>> Reporter: AND THE CHIEF SAYS,
THERE IS LITTLE THE BAND CAN DO
TO CONTROL THE GROWING INDUSTRY.
>> BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I
SAY, THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT,
BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING EXERCISE
THEIR FREE WILL TO PARTICIPATE
IN THE ECONOMICS OF THIS
INDUSTRY.
>> Reporter: SINCE IT WILL BE UP
TO THE PROVINCES AND TERRITORIES
TO ENFORCE REGULATIONS AND
BECAUSE BANDS ARE GOVERNED BY
THE FEDERAL INDIAN ACT, HE SAYS
IT'S AN OPEN QUESTION WHETHER
PROVINCIAL POT LAWS WILL APPLY
ON RESERVE.
>> IT'S A CONSTITUTIONAL
QUESTION, BECAUSE THE FIRST
NATIONS PEOPLE HAVE NOT
SURRENDERED THEIR RIGHT TO
PURSUE AN ECONOMY.
>> Reporter: BUT THE PROVINCES
AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SAY
THE LAW WILL APPLY.
>> THE SALE OF ANY CANNABIS OR
THE PRODUCTION OF ANY CANNABIS
OUTSIDE THE LICENCE REGIME, IS A
CRIMINAL OFFENCE.
IT'S A CRIMINAL OFFENCE TODAY
AND WILL REMAIN A CRIMINAL
OFFENCE WITH THE NEW
LEGISLATION.
>> Reporter: LAW ENFORCEMENT IS
ALREADY A FACT OF LIFE IN THE
IROQUOIS COMMUNITY OF SIX
NATIONS WHERE THE POLICE FORCE
IS CRACKING DOWN ON
DISPENSARIES.
A SLOW NIGHT ME MEDICINE STORE,
UPENDED.
>> THERE IS A COP HERE AND HE
POINTS THE GUN AT HER.
AND HE'S YELLING GET ON THE
GROUND.
>> Reporter: POLICE ALSO HIT
JEFF HAWKS, BUT IT'S NOT GOING
TO STOP HIM.
>> I HAVE TO COME BACK STRONG
AND HARD AND REOPEN AND KEEP
GOING.
>> Reporter: HAWK DOESN'T THINK
THE BAND COUNCIL SHOULD HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CANNABIS
BUSINESS.
>> I DON'T FULLY SUPPORT THE
BAND.
I'VE TRIED NOT TO, BUT I THINK
MYSELF, IT SHOULD BE UP TO THE
PEOPLE.
THE PEOPLE HERE, THE PEOPLE THAT
KNOW, THE PEOPLE WHO USE, THE
PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THIS INDUSTRY
OR HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF IT.
>> Reporter: HE SAYS HE'S NOT
WORRIED.
HE LIVED THROUGH THE
THREE-DECADE LONG OF UNTAXED
TOBACCO SALES AND THAT TOBACCO
SHACKS REMAIN.
>> LIKE I SAID 22 YEARS AGO WHEN
IT COMES TO TOBACCO, IF YOU WANT
TO BRING THE FIGHT TO OUR FRONT
DOOR, IT'S WORTH FIGHTING FOR.
THIS IS OUR HEALTH, OUR FREEDOM,
OUR ECONOMY AND WHO WE ARE AS A
PEOPLE.
AND WE'VE JUST HAD ENOUGH.
>> Reporter: CANADA AND FIRST
NATIONS AGAIN FIND THEMSELVES IN
THE TANGLE OF A POTENTIAL NEW
CONFLICT.
THE PLANT THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT
BUT IT THREATENS TO UPROOT AN
OLD GRIEVANCE.
>> Andrew: AND WE'RE NOT DONE
WITH THE 4/20 COVERAGE.
COMING UP, WE'LL REVEAL ONE OF
THE DAY'S MOST ENDURING
MYSTERIES, ITS ORIGINS.
>> THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE
CLAIMING THEY STARTED THIS WITH
THINGS LIKE, OH, WE MET AS A
PIZZA PARLOR AND WE SPARKED UP.
IT'S HILARIOUS.
BUT THE ONE THING THEY HAVE COME
COMMON, THEY HAVE ZERO PROOF.
>> Andrew: YOU'LL MEET THEM AND
HEAR THEIR STORY AHEAD.
>> Adrienne: FIRST THE D.J.
KNOWN AS AVICII WAS A RENOWNED
PIONEER OF EDM.
HE REVOLUTIONIZED THE GENRE,
WHILE JUST IN HIS EARLY 20s AND
DEVELOPED A GLOBAL FAN BASE.
TODAY HE WAS FOUND DEAD AT THE
AGE OF 28.
[ * ]
* FEEL MY WAY THROUGH THE
DARKNESS *
HIS REAL NAME WAS TIM BERGLING,
BUT THE SWEDISH PRODUCER ROSE TO
FAME AS AVICII, ONE OF THE FEW
D.J.s WHO HIT THE MAIN STREAM.
* WHEN THE SKY COMES FALLING
DOWN *
>> HE LOVED MAKING MUSIC, BUT HE
WAS FRANK ABOUT THE HEAVY
DRINKING THAT LED TO HEALTH
PROBLEMS.
>> UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S SOMETHING
THAT A LOT OF ARTISTS DO SUCCUMB
TO WHEN YOU'RE ON THE ROAD, YOU
HAVE A HEAVY TOUR SCHEDULE,
YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY ALCOHOL ALL
THE TIME.
>> Adrienne: AVICII WAS FOUND
GET IN OMAN AND NO CAUSE OF
DEATH RELIEVED.
THEY OFFERED TRIBUTES TODAY, MY
SINCEREST AND MOST HEART FELT
CONDOLENCES TO THE FRIENDS, FANS
AND FAMILIES OF AVICII.
>> FOR SOMEONE THAT WAS SO
YOUNG, HE'S LEFT BEHIND AN
>> Ian: EARTH DAY IS FAST
APPROACHING, SO TONIGHT WE BRING
YOU TWO STORIES ABOUT CANADIANS
TAKING ACTION.
IN A MOMENT, WE'LL SHOW YOU HOW
THE FASHION INDUSTRY IS GOING
GREEN AND WHAT YOU CAN DO TO
HELP.
FIRST, SEAFOOD SLEUTHS ARE
HELPING EXPOSE A BAIT AND
SWITCH.
IT IS FISH FRAUD.
IT'S A COSTLY PROBLEM HERE IN
CANADA.
TOM MURPHY HAS THE STORY.
>> HOW LONG DOES SALMON TAKE?
>> Reporter: YOU THINK THIS IS A
NORMAL DINNER, RIGHT?
BUT IT'S NOT.
THERE IS A DETECTIVE AT THE
TABLE.
>> CHEERS.
>> WAIT A SECOND.
>> Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT, SHE
IS TAKING A LAB SAMPLE OF HER
DINNER FOR DNA TESTING.
>> NICE.
>> Reporter: IF IT SEEMS LIKE AN
EPISODE OF CSI, IT'S BECAUSE
SHE'S ACTUALLY ON THE CASE OF A
FOOD CRIME.
>> FISHERIES ARE COLLAPSING OR
ABOUT TO AND THIS IS PART DUE TO
SEAFOOD FRAUD.
>> Reporter: FIRST TO THE REAL
CONCERN, THERE IS SOMETHING
FISHY GOING ON IN THE FISH
BUSINESS.
OCEANA CANADA, AN ADVOCACY GROUP
CLAIMS AS MUCH AS 40% OF SEAFOOD
SOLD IN THE COUNTRY IS
MISLABELLED.
IN OTTAWA LAST YEAR, THE GROUP
TESTED 98 SAMPLES AND FOUND
ALMOST HALF OF THE FISH WERE NOT
WHAT THEY PURPORTED TO BE,
EITHER LABELLED INCORRECTLY OR
FRAUDULENTLY.
>> THE MAIN DRIVER FOR THE
MISLABELLING IS ECONOMICS.
IN EVERY CASE YOU FIND A
SUBSTITUTION, IT'S A LESS
EXPENSIVE SPECIES BEING SOLD AS
A MORE.
IN SUSHI RESTAURANTS, NOT A
SINGLE SAMPLE OF WHITE TUNA WAS
ACTUALLY TUNA.
>> Reporter: SO WHAT THEY WERE
THEY GETTING?
INSTEAD OF THE EXPENSIVE WHITE
TUNA, CUSTOMERS WERE GETTING
ESCOLAR, NICKNAMED LAXATIVE OF
THE SEA, THE KIND OF FISH THAT
COULD BRING A PARTY TO AN END IF
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
FISH FRAUD IS EXTREMELY
LUCRATIVE, SO LUCRATIVE, HE
COMPARES IT TO STREET DRUGS.
>> WE CAN RELATE THAT PROBLEM
FISH FRAUD TO THE TRADE WHICH IS
WORTH $52 BILLION ACCORDING TO
ESTIMATES.
>> Reporter: IT'S THAT BAD?
>> IT'S THAT BAD.
WE DON'T KNOW HOW BIG THE FOOD
FRAUD PROBLEM IS OR HOW BIG FISH
FRAUD IS, BUT IT'S MASSIVE.
WE'RE TALKING BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS.
[ * ]
>> Reporter: HENCE THE NEED FOR
THESE FISH DETECTIVES.
NAMELESS, FACELESS TO YOU, BUT
RIGHT NOW, HUNDREDS OF THEM ARE
ALL OVER CANADA.
IN VANCOUVER, TORONTO, AND MOST
RECENTLY, HALIFAX.
VOLUNTEERS FOR OCEANA CANADA
LIKE MONICA PHONG.
>> I FEEL LIKE I'M SNEAKING
AROUND, YEAH, SITTING IN A
RESTAURANT AND MAKING SURE THE
SERVE ARE DOESN'T SEE ME SLIDE
THE SAMPLE.
I DID THIS AT A RESTAURANT THREE
DAYS AGO.
I KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF BLACK
MARKET FISHERIES AND ILLEGAL
FISHING HAPPENING IN BIG
COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA.
AND VIETNAM.
>> Reporter: AND IT'S COMING
HOME TO ROOST?
>> AND IT'S BEING SOLD HERE.
>> Reporter: AND IT'S NOT THE
SEAFOOD WE THINK IT IS.
>> NO, IT'S NOT.
>> Reporter: SO BACK TO THE
DETECTIVE WORK.
>> ACCORDING TO THE STORE THIS
IS HAIK.
>> Reporter: THEY PUT A SAMPLE
IN THE TUBE, AND SEND IT OFF TO
OCEANA CANADA FOR DNA TESTING.
WHERE THE FRAUD HAPPENS, NO ONE
KNOWS.
>> FISH ARE A GLOBAL COMMODITY,
SO THEY MAY BE CAUGHT IN ONE
COUNTRY FOR PROCESSING AND THEN
ANOTHER FOR DISTRIBUTION BEFORE
IT HITS YOUR PLATE.
>> Reporter: THE POINT OF ALL
THIS, IS TO PRESSURE GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS TO ADOPT FISH
TRACEABILITY RULES SIMILAR TO
THOSE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND
THE UNITED STATES.
OTTAWA SAYS IT'S WORKING ON
BETTER LABELLING.
>> IT'S NOT JUST FOOLING THE
PUBLIC, PEOPLE BUYING THE FISH,
IT'S FOOLING THE WHOLE SYSTEM.
AND THAT'S WHY WE REALLY NEED
TRACEABILITY, WE NEED TO TRACE
WHERE SEAFOOD COMES FROM TO MAKE
INFORMED DECISIONS.
>> Reporter: A LITTLE FOOD FOR
THOUGHT SO THE NEXT TIME YOU SIT
DOWN TO A MEAL OF FISH, YOU
ACTUALLY KNOW FOR SURE WHAT
YOU'RE EATING.
>> Ian: OCEANA CANADA SAYS FISH
FRAUD CAN TAKE A TOLL ON HUMAN
HEALTH.
YOU MIGHT UNKNOWINGLY EAT
SEAFOOD YOU'RE ALLERGIC TO.
AND THERE HAVE BEEN CASES OF
TOXIC FISH BEING MISLABELLED.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A WAY TO
MARK EARTH DAY, YOU MIGHT WANT
TO CONSIDER THE CLOTHES IN YOUR
CLOSET.
FASHION IS THE SECOND DIRTIEST
FRIDAY IN THE WORLD BECAUSE OF
THE WAY CLOTHES ARE MADE AND
WHAT IS THROWN AWAY, BUT SOME
CANADIAN DESIGNERS ARE
DETERMINED TO MAKE A CHANGE.
>> THIS IS COOL.
I REALLY LOVE THIS.
>> Reporter: HERE, AMIDST THE
ENDLESS RACKS OF SECOND HAND
CLOTHING, SHE IS IN HER ELEMENT,
SEARCHING FOR HER NEXT TRENDY
ITEM, THINK OFFING THE
ENVIRONMENT.
>> THIS IS SO COOL BECAUSE WHAT
YOU'RE DOING IS BASICALLY
ELIMINATING SOMETHING FROM
ENDING UP IN THE TRASH.
>> Reporter: SHE'S PART OF A
GROWING TREND AS MILLENNIALS ARE
HITTING THRIFT STORES AND
SPREADING THE WORD.
STUDIES SHOW MILLENNIALS BUY A
LOT, BUT THEY'RE THE MOST
ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS.
THEY'RE DRIVING THE BOOM OF THE
RESALE INDUSTRY AS CELEBRITIES
SHOW OFF THEIR ECO FRIENDLY
OUTFITS.
AND CANADIAN DESIGNERS LIKE
TRIARCHY ARE THINKING GREEN TOO,
THIS IS MADE ENTIRELY OF OLD
JEANS, TAKEN APART AND MADE NEW
AGAIN, SOMETHINGS DESIGNERS FELL
THEY HAD TO DO.
AFTER SEEING THIS 2015
DOCUMENTARY AND REALIZING THE
IMPACT THEIR JEANS HAD ON THE
ENVIRONMENT.
>> TRADITIONALLY A PAIR OF
COTTON JEANS STRAIGHT UP, 100%
CAN USE UP TO 2900 GALLONS OF
WATER BY THE TIME IT LANDS ON
THE SHELF.
THAT IS EQUIVALENT TO 10977
ONE-LITRE WATER BOTTLES.
>> Reporter: SO THEY STARTED
FROM CATCH, DRAMATICALLY
REDUCING THE WATER THEY USED.
SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR ITEMS
HAD TO GO, THEY WERE TOO TOXIC.
>> WE HAD REQUESTS TO BRING THAT
STYLE BACK AND IT WAS AN EASY
NO.
FOR US WE HAD A MOMENT LIKE, ARE
WE GOING TO CONTINUE DOING WHAT
WE'RE DOING OR MAKE OUR BRAND A
VEHICLE FOR CHANGE?
>> THAT HAS EARNED TRIARCHY AN
AWARD FOR BEING SOCIALLY
CONSCIOUS.
ONTARIO DESIGNER IS ALSO AN ECO
TREND SETTER WITH HER
COLLECTION, FULL OF WOVEN
NATURAL FIBERS DRAWN FROM THE
LOCAL FARM.
>> I'VE MADE MASS MARKET LINES
FOR BIG COLLECTIONS AND
COMPANIES, IT WASN'T UNTIL MY
FRIENDS BECAME FARMERS AND I
WENT UP AND VOLUNTEERED ON THEIR
FARMS THAT I REALIZED, OH, LOOK
AT THESE NATURAL MATERIALS.
>> Reporter: A FAR CRY FROM THE
FAST FASHION GIANTS DOMINATING
THE LANDSCAPE, BUT EVEN SOME OF
THEM ARE CASHING IN ON THE
TREND.
H & M HAS A CONSCIOUS COLLECTION
MADE WITH SUSTAINABLE FABRICS
AND THE COMPANY IS TACKLING THE
STATISTIC THAT ONLY 1% OF
CLOTHES IS FULLY RECYCLED.
>> IT'S BRANDS LIKE H & M
INVESTING MILLIONS OF EUROS INTO
THE TECHNOLOGY.
>> Reporter: THAT'S BIG PICTURE,
BUT WHAT CAN AVERAGE SHOPPERS
DO?
>> WASHING IN COLD WATER, DOING
FULL LOADS OF LAUNDRY AND
HANGING TO DRY.
THOSE ARE SOME REALLY EASY
THINGS WE CAN BE DOING ON A
DAILY BASIS.
THAT WILL ACTUALLY COLLECTIVELY
HAVE A MASSIVE IMPACT.
>> Reporter: SHE SAYS THERE HAS
BEEN A REAL SHIFT AND THE MAKING
IT MORE GREEN HAS GAINED
MOMENTUM AND IT'S ABOUT PROGRESS
OVER PERFECTION.
>> WE SHOULD SUPPORT EACH OTHER
IN OUR BABY STEPS AND NOT BE
LIKE YOU HAVE TO DO IT THIS WAY
AND BE ENCLOSED IN THIS ONE BOX.
>> Reporter: BABY STEPS COUNT,
TOO.
SEEM
>> Ian: COMING UP ON "THE
NATIONAL", EVER WONDER WHERE THE
PHRASE 4/20 COMES FROM?
YOU'LL FIND OUT.
FIRST, TOMORROW MARKS TWO YEARS
SINCE PRINCE DIED FROM A
FENTANYL OVERDOSE.
TONIGHT WE'RE GETTING A GLIMPSE
INTO OTHER FACETS OF HIS LIFE.
* IT'S BEEN 7 HOURS AND 134
DAYS *
>> IT HAS BEEN 34 YEARS SINCE
PRINCE WROTE NOTHING COMPARED TO
YOU.
AND NOW WE'RE HEARING HIS DEMO
VERSION FOR THE FIRST TIME ON A
WEEK THAT IS BRINGING NEW
INSIGHT INTO THE LIFE AND DEATH
OF THIS INFLUENTIAL ARTIST.
* SINCE YOU TOOK YOUR LOVE
AWAY *
>> Ian: AS WE TOLD YOU LAST
NIGHT, THE INVESTIGATION INTO
PRINCE'S DEATH FROM AN OVERDOSE
TWO YEARS AGO HAS CLOSED WITH NO
CRIMINAL CHARGES.
NOW AUTHORITIES ARE MAKING
PUBLIC THEIR FILES INCLUDING
PHOTOS OF THE ARTISTS COMPOUND.
RARE IMAGES OF A SANCTUARY THAT
THE FAMOUSLY PRIVATE PRINCE KEPT
FROM PUBLIC VIEW.
THEY GIVE YOU A SENSE OF HIS
AUDACIOUS STYLE AND A CASUAL
APPROACH TO DAILY LIFE, AS WELL
AS SOME IMAGES YOU MIGHT NOT
EXPECT.
THERE ARE DRUGS FOR PAIN AND
DRUGS TO TREAT OPIATE
WITHDRAWAL.
THIS VIDEO SHOWS HIM VISITING A
DOCTOR THE DAY BEFORE HE DIED,
WEEKS BEFORE THAT, A DOCTOR'S
NOTE OF CONCERN THAT PRINCE'S
LONGTIME FRIEND, HE JUST DOESN'T
LOOK WELL.
AND WE'RE LEARNING MORE ABOUT
THE EMERGENCY LANDING THAT THE
STAR'S PLANE MADE IN ILLINOIS.
PRINCE HAD OVERDOSED,
UNRESPONSIVE, ONE DOSE OF AN
ANTIDOTE FAILED TO REVIVE HIM,
BUT THE SECOND SHOT JOLTED HIM
INTO CONSCIOUSNESS.
CLOSE FRIENDS WERE DEEPLY
CONCERNED ABOUT HIS DRUG USE AND
WERE TRYING TO HELP HIM GET
BETTER.
* NOTHING CAN STOP THESE TEARS
FROM FALLING *
>> Andrew: AND WITH THAT THE
WINNIPEG JETS ARE ON TO THE
SECOND ROUND OF THE STANLEY CUP
PLAYOFFS.
THEY BEAT THE MINNESOTA WILD
5-0 IN TONIGHT'S GAME 5.
CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION INSIDE
AND OUTSIDE BELL MTS PLACE.
WHITE OUT CONDITIONS IN FULL
EFFECT WITH THOUSANDS OF JETS
FANS DRESSED TO SUPPORT THE
TEAM.
THE THREAT OF A STRIKE BY
CANADIAN PACIFIC RAIL WORKERS
IS OFF FOR NOW.
THE TWO UNIONS THREATENING TO
WALK OFF THE JOB OVER CONTRACT
ISSUES SAY THEY HAVE POSTPONED
THEIR STRIKE.
THEY HAVE SET A DEADLINE OF
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT BUT NOW SAY A
CONTRACT OFFER FROM C.P. WILL
GO TO A VOTE.
NO WORD YET ON WHEN THAT WILL
TAKE PLACE.
>> TODAY WE HAVE AGREED THE
NEXT HEAD OF THE COMMONWEALTH
SHALL BE HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS
PRINCE CHARLES, THE PRINCE OF
WALES.
>> Andrew: TODAY LEADERS OF THE
COMMONWEALTH AGREED PRINCE
CHARLES SHOULD BE THE NEXT HEAD
OF THE ORGANIZATION.
THE QUEEN TOLD THE GROUP IN A
SPEECH YESTERDAY SHE HOPED HER
SON WOULD ONE DAY TAKE HER
PLACE, EVEN THOUGH THE ROLE
ISN'T TECHNICALLY HEREDITARY
AND IT'S UP TO THE GROUP.
>> Adrienne: WE HAVE TALKED A
LOT ABOUT 4/20, THE QUESTION IS
WHY THIS DAY BECAME ONE OF POT
ACTIVISM.
4/20 WAS SAID TO BE A POLICE
CODE FOR A MARIJUANA VIOLATION
IN CALIFORNIA.
OR TO REFER TO THE NUMBER OF
CHEMICAL COMPONENTS IN THE
PLANT.
IN FACT, IT COULD BE TRACED
BACK TO THE EARLY 1970, FIVE
GUYS KNOWN AS THE WALDOS.
THEY WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL
TOGETHER, GOT HIGH TOGETHER,
STONERS, ADVENTURERS AND
PRANKSTERS MADE AN INDELIBLE
MARK ON THE WORLD.
WE GOT IN TOUCH WITH TWO, STEVE
CAPPERT.
>> WE USED TO HANG OUT ON A
WALL IN SAN RAFAEL CALIFORNIA.
WE WOULD SIT UP THERE BETWEEN
CLASSES AND MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE
WALKING BY.
>> ONE DAY WE ARE SITTING ON
OUR WALL, BUDDY CAME UP AND
SAID MY BROTHER IS IN THE
COASTGUARD AND A BUNCH OF THE
GUYS IN THE U.S. COASTGUARD ARE
GROWING MARIJUANA, THIS IS
1971, IT'S PLAUSIBLE.
THEY ARE GROWING MARIJUANA AND
FOR SOME REASON THEY THINK
THEIR COMMANDING OFFICER WILL
BUST THEM AND THEY DON'T WANT
TO BE BUSTED SO THEY DECIDED TO
RELINQUISH THEIR GROWING MAP
AND GAVE US A MAP.
WE GOT OUT OF SCHOOL AROUND
3:00, 3:15, A FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE.
A COUPLE GUYS HAD FOOTBALL
PRACTICE, WE DECIDED TO MEET,
THERE'S A STATUE, LOUIS PASTOR
AT 4:20.
>> THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE
CLAIMING THEY STARTED THIS WITH
THINGS LIKE OH WE MET AT A
PIZZA PARLOR AT 4:20 AND WE
SPARKED UP AND THERE'S OTHER
PEOPLE TAKING OLD PHOTOS AND
PHOTOSHOPING 4:20 IN INTO THEM,
IT'S HILARIOUS BUT THEY HAD
ZERO PROOF AND WE ARE THE ONLY
ONES IN THE WORLD THAT HAVE
DOCUMENTED PROOF TO PROVE THE
USAGE.
>> MULTIPLE PIECES OF PHYSICAL
EVIDENCE PROOF.
>> THERE'S A 420 FEST IN
ATLANTA AND YOU HAVE HUGE
CORPORATE SPONSORS LIKE HOME
DEPOT, I SAW ANOTHER ONE BED
BATH AND BONG.
>> PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS BE
COMMEMORATION, I GUESS, ALL THE
DECADES IT TOOK TO GET WHERE WE
ARE.
>> I THINK 4/20 IS A SPIRIT
THING, EVERYBODY CAN GET
TOGETHER AND HAVE SOME FUN.
>> BE FRIENDLY.
>> BE FRIENDLY, BE KIND TO
PEOPLE.
IT'S BECOME A THING, IT'S AN
EVERGREEN STORY, EXCUSE THE PUN.
BUT EVERY YEAR IT'S KIND OF
LICE CHRISTMAS FOR WEED.
>> Adrienne: CHRISTMAS FOR WEED.
THOSE ARE TWO OF THE FIVE
WALDOS AND YOU HEAR THE STORY
HANGING OUT ON A WALL, WHY THEY
CALL THEMSELVES WALDO, THEY
KEPT UP THIS CODE BECAUSE ONE
OF THEIR DADS WAS A NARC SO
THEY HAD TO KEEP IT QUIET.
>> Andrew: WHEN THE OXFORD
DICTIONARY SAID WE WILL ADD
4/20 INTO THE LEXICON THEY
REVIEWED THE STORY AND SAID IT
CHECKS OUT.
>> Ian: THEY DON'T GET A PENNY
THOUGH FROM ALL THE OTHER
USAGE, THEY SEEM PRETTY CHILL
ABOUT IT, NOT SURPRISING,
ESPECIALLY ON THIS DAY.
THERE'S A BEER CREATED BY A
CRAFT BREWERY AND THEY HAVE A
LIFETIME PASS TO THAT BUT I
DON'T THINK THEY ARE THOSE KIND
OF GUYS.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR 4/20.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Adrienne: GOOD NIGHT.
>> Andrew: GOOD NIGHT.
