>> Andrew: ON THIS FRIDAY NIGHT
A CANADIAN WHO LEFT THIS
COUNTRY TO FIGHT FOR ISIS IN
SYRIA APPEARS TO MAKE A
SHOCKING ADMISSION.
TELLING A POPULAR PODCAST WHILE
THERE HE CARRIED OUT AN
EXECUTION-STYLE KILLING.
TODAY WE TRACKED HIM DOWN IN
TORONTO, CONFRONTED HIM ABOUT
IT AND HEARD A VERY DIFFERENT
STORY.
ALSO TONIGHT, MERGING MAN AND
MACHINE?
HOW WORKERS ON THIS AUTO
ASSEMBLY LINE ARE GETTING A
BIONIC UPGRADE.
ALL THAT COMING YOUR WAY.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
NEW AND STUNNING DETAILS HAVE
EMERGED ABOUT A CANADIAN WHO
WENT TO SYRIA TO JOIN ISIS IN
ITS BLOOD THIRSTY VERSION OF
JIHAD, ALSO A YOUNG MAN BACK
HERE LIVING IN CANADA AND WHO
HAS SPOKEN TO US BEFORE.
>> Interview: THERE WAS ALSO
BEHEADINGS TOO.
>> Andrew: HIS NICKNAME WITH
ISIS WAS --
HE REVEALED TO US HOW HE TRAVEL
TODAY SYRIA AND JOINED THE ISIS
MORALITY POLICE.
BACK THEN HE SAID HE WITNESSED
HORRIFIC ACTS BUT NEVER KILLED
ANYONE HIMSELF.
>> CANADIANS SHOULDN'T SEE ME
AS A THREAT, I GREW UP WITH
THEM AND CANADA HAS A HUGE ROLE
IN WHAT I AM NOW TOO.
>> Andrew: NOW WE ARE HEARING A
DIFFERENT STORY, ON THE PODCAST
CALIPHATE HE SAID THIS:
>> THIS GUY WAS A DRUG DEALER.
I HAD TO STAB HIM IN THE HEART.
HUZAIFA DESCRIBED EXECUTING
PEOPLE WHO RESISTED ISIS.
JOHN, YOU ORIGINALLY SPOKE WITH
ABU HUZAIFA WITH CBC AND YOU
TRACKED HIM DOWN ABOUT THIS
APPARENT CONFESSION.
HOW DID HE REACT?
>> Interview: WE PUT IT TO HIM
SEVERAL TIMES, ANDREW, HOW
COULD YOU SAY THESE THINGS IF
YOU DIDN'T ACTUALLY DO THEM.
HE SAID HE DIDN'T DENY THEM BUT
INSISTANT HE DIDN'T DO THOSE
THINGS.
HE SAID HE WAS INTERVIEWED FOR
THE PODCAST IN 2016, 2-3 WEEKS
AFTER HE RETURNED FROM PAKISTAN
AFTER FLEEING SYRIA AND FLEEING
ISIS.
HE SAID AT THE TIME HE WAS
SUFFERING FROM PTSD, HAVING
FLASHBACKS FROM THE HORRORS HE
WITNESSED AND USING HARD DRUGS
TO ESSENTIALLY TRYING TO
SELF-MEDICATE TO GET THESE
DEMONS OUT OF HIS MIND.
WHEN I PRESSED HIM I SAID THEY
ARE GRAPHIC DETAILS YOU
DESCRIBED, HOW COULD YOU
DESCRIBE IN SUCH DETAIL YET YOU
DIDN'T DO IT.
HE TOLD ME, I WAS DESCRIBING
WHAT I SAW.
I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH, ANDREW, TO
THINK IT WAS ACTUALLY ME.
>> Andrew: OKAY, SO WHAT IS THE
SITUATION EXACTLY?
HE IS IN TORONTO?
>> Interview: YEP, WE WALK INTO
THIS TORONTO SUBURBAN
RESTAURANT, HE LOOKED AND
SMILED.
HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE AN ISIS
SOLDIER, HE IS A 23-YEAR-OLD
MAN STUDYING AT UNIVERSITY,
CLEAN-CUT, WELL SPOKEN, VERY
SOFT SPOKEN AND AT ONE POINT
BROKE DOWN IN TEARS TODAY WHEN
DISCUSSING THIS.
IT'S CLEAR HE IS HOPING TO MOVE
ON WITH HIS LIFE BUT IT'S NOT
CLEAR IF THAT WILL HAPPEN
ESPECIALLY AFTER THE LATEST
REVELATIONS.
>> Andrew: JOHN, HE GAVE YOU AN
EXPLANATION, BUT GIVEN WHAT HE
HAS APPARENTLY CONFESSED TO,
HAS HE BEEN APPROACHED BY
POLICE?
>> Interview: HE HAS BEEN
INTERVIEWED SEVERAL TIMES BY
POLICE.
SHORTLY AFTER THE INTERVIEW IN
2017, HE SAID HE WAS CONTACTED
BY THE RCMP TO SEE WHERE HE WAS
BUT AFTER THAT, NOTHING.
TODAY AFTER THE PODCASTS
SURFACED AND AIRED AND RAISED
IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, HE GOT
A CALL FROM CSIS AND THEY PLAN
TO PAY HIM A VISIT NEXT WEEK.
>> Andrew: THANK YOU.
AT THIS POINT YOU MAY BE ASKING
WHY AREN'T WE REVEALING WHO
THIS MAN IS GIVEN THE SEVERE
NATURE OF WHAT WE JUST HEARD.
LET'S START FROM THE BEGINNING.
ABU HUZAIFA TRUSTED THE CBC,
THAT'S SOMETHING WE TAKE
SERIOUSLY, BUT TRUST IS A
TWO-WAY STREET AND THE PODCAST
CONTRADICTS WHAT HE TOLD US, WE
ARE NOW TRYING TO DETERMINE THE
TRUTH AND MAY REVISIT HIM.
AS THE STORY EVOLVES WE WILL
KEEP YOU UPDATED BUT THE HARD
FACTS ON HUZAIFA MAY BE HARD TO
COME BY BUT DIDN'T SEEM TO STOP
THE FALLOUT IN OTTAWA.
>> Reporter: THIS BROUGHT UP
POINTED QUESTIONS IN THE HOUSE
OF COMMONS WITH CONSERVATIVES
ASKING HOW COULD A MAN WHO
BRAGS ABOUT COMMITTING WAR
CRIMES WITH ISIS BE WALKING
FREE IN ONTARIO.
>> HE SAID HE EXECUTED
INDIVIDUALS BY SHOOTING THEM IN
THE BACK OF THE HEAD.
HE SAID THEY DESERVED IT AND HE
SAID I KNOW I WON'T BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE.
HE SAID THAT AT LEAST TWICE.
>> WHAT I CAN SAY, MR. SPEAKER,
IS THAT CSIS, THE RCMP, AND ALL
THE RELATED SECURITY AND POLICE
AGENCIES OF THIS COUNTRY ARE
DOING THEIR JOB AND TAKING ALL
OF THE STEPS NECESSARY TO
ENSURE THAT JUSTICE IS ENFORCED.
>> THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
THIS GUY IS APPARENTLY IN
TORONTO.
CANADIANS DESERVE MORE ANSWERS
FROM THIS GOVERNMENT.
WHY AREN'T THEY DOING SOMETHING
ABOUT THIS?
>> ONE FORMER CSIS ANALYST SAID
RETURNEES LIKE ABU HUZAIFA ARE
EXAMPLES TO OTHER JIHADIS.
>> AMAZING EXPLOITS BUT THEY
ACT AS INSPIRATION FOR OTHERS,
SO IF NOTHING HAPPENS TO THIS
INDIVIDUAL, AND HE DESERVES HIS
DAY IN COURT, DON'T GET ME
WRONG, IT SHOULD BE A FAIR AND
TRANSPARENT PROCESS BUT IF
NOTHING HAPPENS THE MESSAGE IS
IT'S OKAY TO BE IN A TERRORIST
GROUP AND TRAVEL ABROAD AND
KILL SOMEBODY, WHICH ARE
OFFENSES AND NOTHING WILL
HAPPEN TO YOU.
>> Reporter: HE HAS ALSO
CONFESSED TO SEVERAL OTHER
CRIMES, JUST TRAVELING TO SYRIA
TO JOIN ISIS IS A CRIME THAT
CARRIES A POTENTIAL 10-YEAR
SENTENCE THOUGH TO DATE NO ONE
HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF THAT.
>> Andrew: ON THAT NOTE, THERE
IS ANOTHER QUESTION HERE.
IF WE LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE.
HOW MANY OTHERS LIKE ABU
HUZAIFA MIGHT BE OUT THERE?
ACCORDING TO A 2017 GOVERNMENT
REPORT THERE WERE ABOUT 190
SO-CALLED EXTREMIST TRAVELERS
WITH LINKS TO CANADA AND THE
GOVERNMENT IS AWARE OF ABOUT 60
THAT HAVE RETURNED TO CANADA.
SYRIA IS ALSO IN THE MIDDLE OF
ESCALATING HOSTILITY BETWEEN
ISRAEL AND IRAN.
TODAY BOTH THE U.S. PRESIDENT
AND BRITISH PRIME MINISTER
CALLED IRAN'S ATTACKS
DESTABILIZING BUT AVOIDED
CRITICIZING COUNTER ATTACKS ON
IRANIAN POSITIONS IN SYRIA
WHICH IS STILL IN A BRUTAL
CIVIL WAR OF ITS OWN.
MARGARET EVANS WENT TO ONE
VILLAGE TORN APART BY THE
FIGHTING.
>> Reporter: STREETS ON THE WAY
TO YALDA, A TOWN WEDGED IN WITH
A HANDFUL OF OTHERS ON THE
OUTSKIRTS OF DAMASCUS.
THIS IS DAY ONE OF WHAT BASHIR
AL ASSAD -- SOME 10,000 REBEL
FIGHTERS TOOK UP THE OFFER THE
PASSAGE OFF YALDA, BUSSES IN A
REBEL HELD AREA IN THE NORTH.
LOCAL OFFICIALS EAGER TO MARK
THE MOMENT HAVE A FEW FALSE
STARTS BEFORE FINDING THEIR WAY
TO THE ROOFTOP OF THE MUNICIPAL
BUILDING.
IT IS A SMALL SCENE BUT IT'S
ONE THE SYRIAN GOVERNMENT VERY
MUCH WANTED US TO SEE.
THEY WANT TO DELIVER THE
MESSAGE TO US AND SO TO THE
OUTSIDE WORLD THEY ARE WINNING
THIS WAR.
MOHAMED SAYS IT'S BEEN FIVE
YEARS SINCE HE SET FOOT IN HIS
OFFICE.
I ASK HIM ABOUT RECONCILIATION
BETWEEN PRO-AND ANTI REGIME
FIGHTERS.
>> WHY NOT?
>> THE FIGHTING ISN'T OVER YET.
BUT THE OUTSIDE WORLD IS
PREOCCUPIED WITH THE TENSIONS
BETWEEN ISRAEL AND IRAN.
ISRAEL ACCUSING IRAN OF USING
SYRIA AS A LAUNCH PAD AGAINST
THE JEWISH STATE.
TODAY THE ISRAELI FOREIGN
MINISTER LIEBERMAN WARNED THE
SYRIAN PRESIDENT ABOUT THE
COMPANY HE IS KEEPING.
>> I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR ASSAD,
HE IS SAYING, GET RID OF THE
IRANIANS, THEY'RE NOT HELPING
YOU.
IT'S PROMPTED AN ANGRY REACTION
HERE IN DAMASCUS.
>> WE HAVE THE FREEDOM TO
CHOOSE OUR ALLIES, OUR FRIENDS
AND LOOK FORWARD TO RECAPTURE,
TO GET OUR LAND AGAIN.
>> ISRAEL CAPTURED THE GOLAN
HEIGHTS IN 1997.
IN YALDA PEOPLE HAVE MORE
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS, FINDING
THEIR WAY BACK TO HOMES LOST
AND LIVES PUT ON HOLD, IF
THAT'S POSSIBLE.
NOTHING IS NORMAL ANY MORE.
THE THUD OF AIRSTRIKES GOES
UNNOTICED.
AND KIDS PLAY WITH AN OLD LATHE
REBELS LEFT BEHIND USED TO MAKE
MORTARS.
MARGARET EVANS, CBC NEWS, YALDA.
>> Andrew: HERE IS A QUICK LOOK
AT WHAT'S AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL."
A CBC NEWS INVESTIGATION RAISES
SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WAY
ONE COMPANY IS SELLING ITS
CANNABIS EXTRACT.
ALSO RESIDENTS OF LAC-MEGANTIC
ARE HAPPY TRAIN TRACKS WILL
NEVER RETURN TO THEIR TOWN, BUT
IS REROUTING THE TRACKS JUST
REROUTING THE PROBLEM?
BUT FIRST, THREE PEOPLE FROM
CANADA ARE SPEAKING OUT AFTER
ONE DAY LEAVING AN AirBnB AND
THEN BEING CONFRONTED BY POLICE.
NOW HOW SUCH SEEMINGLY TRIVIAL
ACT LEAD TO SUCH A SERIOUS
ENCOUNTER HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE
IN THE U.S. TALKING ABOUT
RACIAL INJUSTICE, BECAUSE THE
NEIGHBOURS WHO CALLED THE COPS
WERE WHITE AND THE VISITORS
FROM CANADA ARE NOT.
THE CBC'S STEVEN D'SOUZA SPOKE
WITH THEM TODAY.
>> I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO
BE CHARGED, THAT WAS MY FIRST
REACTION.
>> IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO WEEKS
BUT THE INCIDENT INVOLVING
KELLS FYFFE MARSHALL.
PART OF THREE FRIENDS, TWO
BLACK AND ONE WHITE.
THEY WERE LEAVING AN AirBnB IN
RIALTO CALIFORNIA WHEN A
NEIGHBOUR THINKING THEY WERE
BURGLARS CALLED THE POLICE.
>> LIKE BREAKING INTO THE HOUSE
AND TAKING THINGS.
>> NO, WE ARE TAKING OUR
SUITCASES OUT OF THE HOUSE.
>> THEIR VIDEO WENT VIRAL IN
PART BECAUSE ONE IS THE
GRANDDAUGHTER OF MUSIC LEGEND
BOB MARLEY.
>> HANDS UP, HANDS UP AND
EVERYBODY'S HANDS STARTED TO GO
UP.
>> SHE SAYS THAT FACT HELPED
MAKE SURE THE SITUATION ENDED
PEACEFULLY BUT SAID NOT
EVERYONE IN AMERICA IS SO LUCKY
SO THEY ARE SPEAKING OUT ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED AND THREATENING
THE RIALTO POLICE WITH LEGAL
ACTION.
>> WE ARE CONSCIOUS IN THESE
MOMENTS WE HAVE A PLATFORM AND
WE ARE BRAVE ENOUGH TO USE IT
ON BEHALF OF THOSE WHO DIDN'T
LIVE TO TELL THEIR STORY.
>> Reporter: BUT WHAT DONISHA
PRENDERGAST SAY WAS TRAUMATIC,
OTHERS SAY WAS HELPFUL, USING
BODY CAMERA TO DESCRIBE A
JOVIAL ENCOUNTER.
>> THEY HANDLED THE CALL FOR
SERVICE WITH DIGNITY, RESPECT
AND UTMOST PROFESSIONALISM.
>> FYFFE MARSHALL SAID IT WAS
HER WAY OF DEALING WITH THE
INDIGNITY OF BEING PULLED OVER.
>> I LAUGHED.
>> THEY SAY THEIR MESSAGE IS A
SERIOUS ONE THAT RACIAL
PROFILING MUST STOP AND THOSE
WHO CALL POLICE WHEN BLACK
PEOPLE IN THESE SITUATIONS NEED
TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
>> IT'S UNFAIR FOR ONE PERSON
TO HAVE THAT AMOUNT OF POWER
OVER SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE AND
DESTINY.
>> PRENDERGAST SAID EVERYBODY
NEEDS TO STEP UP.
>> EVERYBODY LOVES MY
GRANDFATHER'S MUSIC BUT WHEN IT
COMES TO ACTUALLY FIGHT AND
CALL TO ACTION, PEOPLE DON'T
WANT TO STAND UP.
>> THEY SAY BEING SURROUNDED BY
POLICE JUST FOR DOING EVERYDAY
THINGS SHOULDN'T BE THE PRICE
OF BEING BLACK IN AMERICA.
STEVEN D'SOUZA, CBC NEWS, NEW
YORK.
>> Andrew: RACIAL PROFILING HAS
BEEN IN THE NEWS A LOT LATELY.
>> I'M NOT TAKING YOUR PICTURE.
THIS IS FACEBOOK LIVE.
>> AN INCIDENT AT YALE, A
WHITE PERSON CALLED CAMPUS
POLICE AFTER SHE FOUND A BLACK
WOMAN ASLEEP IN A COMMON AREA,
SHE WAS A GRAD STUDENT BUT
OFFICERS DEMANDED TO SEE HER
I.D. EVEN AFTER SHE UNLOCKED
HER OWN DORM ROOM TO PROVE SHE
WASN'T SOMEONE WHO HAD BROKEN
IN.
AND VIDEO SURFACED OF AN
OFFICER PRETTY AGGRESSIVELY
ARRESTING A BLACK MAN IN NORTH
CAROLINA.
AN ARGUMENT BETWEEN THAT BLACK
MAN AND RESTAURANT EMPLOYEE.
THEN CAME POLICE AND THE TAKE
DOWN.
THE SUSPECT WAS DRESSED UP
BECAUSE HE HAD JUST BEEN AT A
SCHOOL PROM.
ALMOST TWO WEEKS AGO AT A
COLORADO UNIVERSITY, POLICE
QUESTIONED AND SEARCHED TWO
INDIGENOUS TEENAGERS, ANOTHER
PARENT CALL THE OFFICERS
COMPLAINING THEY WERE CREEPY
AND STOOD OUT BUT THEY WERE
JUST THERE FOR A TOUR,
CONSIDERING ENROLLING.
IN ALABAMA ABOUT A WEEK EARLIER
POLICE WERE RECORDED THROWING A
BLACK WOMAN TO THE FLOOR OF A
WAFFLE HOUSE, THEY THREW HER,
THREATENED TO BROKE HER ARM AND
IN THE SCUFFLE EXPOSED HER
BREAST.
THEY DEFENDED THEIR ACTIONS
SAYING THE OFFICERS WERE IN THE
RIGHT AND THE WOMAN WAS DRUNK
AND DISORDERLY.
AND ALL OF THIS COMES AFTER
LAST MONTH'S STARBUCKS INCIDENT
IN PHILADELPHIA WHEN POLICE
ARRESTED TWO BLACK MEN WHO HAD
BEEN SITTING AT A TABLE WITHOUT
MAKING A PURCHASE.
THEY ASKED TO USE THE BATHROOM
BUT WERE TOLD IT WAS FOR PAYING
CUSTOMERS ONLY.
THEY WERE EVENTUALLY RELEASED
WITHOUT CHARGE.
AND TODAY STARBUCKS ANNOUNCED
ALL ITS BATHROOMS WILL BE MADE
AVAILABLE TO ANYBODY WHETHER OR
NOT THEY BOUGHT ANYTHING.
IN THE WORLD OF ALTERNATIVE
MEDICINE SOMETHING CALLED
CANNABIDIOL OIL SEEMS TO BE THE
ELIXIR OF THE MOMENT.
A CANNABIS EXTRACT BEING TOUTED
AS MIRACLE TREATMENT FOR
EVERYTHING FROM ANXIETY TO
CANCER.
>> CBD HAS ANTI PROLIFERATIVE
EFFECTS, MEANING IT COULD STOP
A TUMOR FROM SPREADING.
HERB WRACKED UP MORE THAN THREE
AND A HALF MILLION VIEWS WHICH
IS QUITE A BIT BUT THE REAL
HEALTH BENEFITS OF CBD OIL ARE
STILL VERY MUCH AN OPEN
QUESTION AND THE LACK OF
SCIENCE HASN'T STOPPED MANY
FROM BUYING IN.
>> SUN KISSED ON AN ORGANIC
KENTUCKY FARM, CAREFULLY
EXTRACTED IN A LAB.
HEMPWORX.
>> THE HIGHEST QUALITY, PURE,
NATURAL, MOST EFFECTIVE CBD
THAT'S ON THE PLANET.
>> THE PROBLEM IS THAT'S NOT
THE ONLY THING HEMPWORX HAS TO
STAY ABOUT IT'S PRODUCT.
THE FINE PRINT MAY SAY IT'S NOT
INTENDED TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT OR
PREVENT DISEASE.
DAILY AMOUNTS TO TAKE FOR
CONDITIONS, SUCH AS EPILEPSY,
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS,
SCHIZOPHRENIA AND GLAUCOMA.
THAT'S AT ODDS HOW THEY COULD
BE MARKETED.
HEALTH CANADA IS ESPECIALLY
CONCERNED ABOUT ADVERTISEMENTS
OF ANY KIND WHICH ARE FALSE,
MISLEADING OR DECEPTIVE AND
THOSE THAT ADVERTISE CANNABIS
WITH THERAPEUTIC CLAIMS.
HEMPWORX DIDN'T RESPOND TO OUR
REQUEST FOR COMMENT.
>> CANOPY GROWTH IS CANADA'S
LARGEST POT PRODUCER.
THEY SAY IT'S IMPORTANT TO
STICK TO THE FACTS.
>> ANY OF THE HEALTH CLAIMS
BEING MADE ARE OUTSIDE OF THE
RULES WE ARE PLAYING BY.
>> THIS HEMPWORX TRAINING
WEBINAR INSTRUCTS SALES PEOPLE
TO AVOID WORDS LIKE CURES,
PREVENTS, DIAGNOSE AND TREATS.
>> WHAT YOU CAN SAY, RESEARCH
SUGGESTS, STUDIES SHOW,
DIFFERENT USERS OF THESE
PRODUCTS ARE CLAIMING.
>> WE SHOWED THAT TO
PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL SKEPTIC
DR. JEN GUNTER.
>> IT SOUNDS THE SAME AND
THAT'S WHAT'S REALLY
CONCERNING, SO FOR SOMEBODY WHO
DOESN'T HAVE A MEDICAL
BACKGROUND IT SOUNDS LIKE
THERE'S GOOD STUDIES BUT IT'S
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
IT'S REALLY GLOSSING OVER THE
EDGES AND A LITTLE BIT, ALMOST
LIKE A SHELL GAME.
>> HOWEVER THEY PHRASE IT, ARE
CANNABIDIOL PRODUCERS BLOWING
SMOKE WITH THEIR HEALTH CLAIMS.
>> WE ALSO HAVE PRELIMINARY
EVIDENCE, I WANT TO STRESS THAT
WORD, PRELIMINARY THAT
CANNABIDIOL MIGHT BE USEFUL.
>> ROBERT LA PRAIRIE SAYS THOSE
PRELIMINARY STUDIES ARE TOO
SOON TO SAY FOR SURE.
>> I WOULD SAY THE JURY IS
STILL VERY MUCH OUT ON WHAT WE
HAVE GOOD EVIDENCE-BASED
MEDICINE FOR.
>> Andrew: WE HAVE KATY
NICHOLSON JOINING US NOW.
WHAT ABOUT THIS WHOLE EQUATION
CHANGES WHEN POT BECOMES LEGAL
IN THIS COUNTRY?
>> Reporter: YOU WILL BE ABLE
TO BUY CBD OIL ALONGSIDE POT
PRODUCTS BUT THE MEDICAL CLAIMS
STILL WON'T BE ABLE TO BE MADE
UNTIL THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTS
THOSE CLAIMS.
>> Andrew: HOW ARE CANADIANS
GETTING THIS STUFF FROM
HEMPWORX IF CANNABIS PRODUCTS
AREN'T LEGAL YET.
>> Reporter: TECHNICALLY YOU
SHOULD ONLY GET IT WITH A
PRESCRIPTION BUT IT'S THE WILD,
WILD WEST RIGHT NOW.
THEY SAID IT WAS 100% LEGAL,
WHEN WE SPOKE WITH HEALTH
CANADA THEY SAID NO.
IT'S ILLEGAL TO SHIP IT OVER
THE BORDER, LAW ENFORCEMENT
SHOULD BE INVOLVED.
THIS MORNING THEY SENT A NOTE
TO THEIR AFFILIATE SAYING THEY
WERE GOING TO SUSPEND THE
IMPORTATION OF THE PRODUCT IN
CANADA UNTIL THEY GET A PERMIT,
SOMETHING THEY SAY THEY APPLIED
FOR NINE MONTHS AGO.
>> Andrew: THANK YOU.
>> YOU'RE WELCOME.
>> Andrew: HERE IS WHAT ELSE WE
ARE WORKING ON "THE NATIONAL."
WHAT DO NAFTA AND THE ROMANCE
NOVEL HAVE IN COMMON?
THEY HAVE BOTH BEEN DISRUPTED
BY U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP,
OF COURSE.
PLUS, THE WINNIPEG JETS ARE
HEADED TO THE WESTERN
CONFERENCE FINAL.
YOU WILL MEET JETS FANS WHO
HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
MOMENT.
AND CYBORGS ON THE ASSEMBLY
LINE.
I TRY OUT A MECHANICAL SOLUTION
IN THIS EPISODE OF "THE FIX".
>> KIND OF LIKE I'M RESTING MY
ARM ON A LEDGE WITHOUT HAVING
TO HOLD THEM UP, SO I FEEL I
COULD DO THIS
>> BEEN HERE FOR 57 YEARS AND
NEVER SEEN THIS.
>> Andrew: TONIGHT ON "THE
NATIONAL", THE WORST FLOODING
TO HIT SOUTHERN B.C. IN DECADES.
ENTIRE NEIGHBOURHOODS ARE UNDER
WATER AND NEARLY 3,000 PEOPLE
ARE UNDER EVACUATION ORDERS
AFTER DAYS OF HEAVY RAIN AND
MELTING SNOW.
HERE IS THE SCENE IN GRAND
FORKS.
A COMMUNITY ALONG THE U.S.
BORDER ABOUT 200 KILOMETRES
SOUTHEAST OF KELOWNA, WATERS
ROSE SO FAST LAST NIGHT SOME
PEOPLE BECAME TRAPPED IN THEIR
HOMES, SO CREWS WERE BUSY
TRACKING DOWN THOSE PEOPLE
NEEDING RESCUE AS OTHERS RACED
TO TRY TO STOP FLOODWATERS FROM
SPREADING.
UNSEASONBLY HOT TEMPERATURES IN
THE FORECAST FOR THE REGION
OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
IT'S EXPECTED TO MELT SNOW AND
MAKE THE FLOODING SITUATION
EVEN WORSE.
>> WE HAVE WARM WEATHER COMING,
WE'VE GOT MORE SNOW, SO THIS
WITH US FOR A WHILE.
>> Andrew: WITH THAT THREAT
LOOMING, OFFICIALS ARE ISSUING
A FAMILIAR WARNING, PUT SAFETY
FIRST AND BE READY TO LEAVE
HOME IF NECESSARY.
IT WAS A BIG DAY FOR RESIDENTS
OF LAC-MEGANTIC IN QUEBEC TODAY.
TRAIN TRACKS THAT ONCE RAN
THROUGH THEIR COMMUNITY WILL NO
MORE.
>>
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: TODAY WE ARE TAKING AN
IMPORTANT STEP TO HELP HEAL THE
WOUNDS OF A COMMUNITY THAT'S
BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH.
CANADA AND THE GOVERNMENT OF
QUEBEC HAVE REACHED AN
AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE TO
JOINTLY FUND THE RAIL BY PASS
PROJECT.
>> Andrew: LAC-MEGANTIC'S
DOWNTOWN CHORDEE STROIED JULY
6th, 2013 WHEN A RUN AWAY TRAIN
CARRYING CRUDE OIL JUMPED THE
TRACKS AND EXPLODED.
RESIDENTS ARE HAPPY TO SEE THE
TRACKS REROUTED ELSEWHERE, AWAY
FROM THEIR TOWN, BUT THAT MAY
JUST CREATE NEW PROBLEMS
ELSEWHERE.
AS JAELA BERNSTEIN TELLS US,
PLEASING EVERYONE MAY NOT BE
POSSIBLE.
>> Reporter: THEY HAVE LIVED IN
LAC-MEGANTIC THEIR ENTIRE LIVES.
TRAINS PASS UP TO FOUR TIMES A
DAY.
>> WE WERE USED TO THAT BUT NOW
IT'S NOT THE SAME FEELING ANY
MORE.
I'M FRIGHTENED.
>> Reporter: SHE AND MANY IN
TOWN ARE RELIEVED THE RAIL
BYPASS WILL BE BUILT WITHIN
FOUR YEARS.
>> JUST KNOWING THAT NOW PEOPLE
WILL COME BACK TO LIVE IN TOWN,
LIFE IS COMING BACK.
EVERYTHING WILL COME ANOTHER
DAY AT A TIME.
>> Reporter: BUT THE PROMISE OF
A RAIL BYPASS FOR 2022 HAS LEFT
THE COMMUNITY DIVIDED.
IT WILL CUT THROUGH LAND OWNED
BY 44 PEOPLE AND IN A PLACE
STILL GRAPPLING WITH A TRAUMA
THAT FEELS ALL TOO RECENT
EMOTIONS RUN HIGH.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT VOWS IT
WILL OFFER FAIR COMPENSATION
BUT THAT'S COLD COMFORT FOR
SOME.
>> [SPEAKING FRENCH]
>> SHE AND HER HUSBAND BUILT
THEIR HOME HERE, HER PARENTS
LIVE JUST DOWN THE HILL BUT THE
NEW TRACKS WILL SLICE RIGHT
BETWEEN THE THEIR HOUSES
CUTTING THEM OFF.
[SPEAKING FRENCH]
>> Reporter: JACQUES
UNDERSTANDS THE NEED FOR A RAIL
BYPASS BUT SHE WISHES SHE
DIDN'T HAVE TO SACRIFICE HER
OWN TRANQUILITY.
IT'S A BALANCING ACT, SAYS THE
PREMIER.
>> CERTAIN CHANGES COULD BE
MADE AT THE MARGINS.
LET'S BE CLEAR, WE WON'T START
AGAIN FROM SCRATCH.
>> Reporter: SHE AND HER
HUSBAND WERE READY TO MOVE IF
THE BYPASS WAS REFUSED.
NOW THEY CAN SPEND THEIR
RETIREMENT LISTENING TO THE
BIRDS AND NOT THE TRAIN.
JAELA BERNSTEIN, CBC NEWS,
LAC-MEGANTIC.
>> Andrew: TURNING NOW TO
TORONTO, WHERE STUDENTS AT
SEVERAL HIGH SCHOOLS WALKED OUT
OF CLASS IN PROTEST TODAY.
THEY SAY NEW RULES MEANT TO
PROTECT THEM FROM PREDATORY
TEACHERS AREN'T TOUGH ENOUGH.
OUR RON CHARLES ASKS THE
ORGANIZERS WHAT THEY HOPE TO
SEE.
>> Reporter: YOU COULD CALL
THIS ME TOO MEETS THE
BURGEONING STUDENT LEAD PROTEST.
UNDER NEW LEGISLATION ENACTED
WEDNESDAY ONTARIO TEACHERS
FOUND GUILTY OF GROPING OR
SEXUALLY TOUCHING STUDENTS
AUTOMATICALLY LOSE THEIR
TEACHING LICENSES BUT THESE
STUDENTS SAY THOSE NEW RULES
DON'T GO FAR ENOUGH.
STUDENT SARA SOTOMAYOR WANTS
THEM TO APPLY TO TEACHERS
ENGAGING IN OTHER SEXUALLY
INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR.
>> SEXUAL MISCONDUCT SHOULDN'T
BE ALLOWED IN SCHOOLS AND THE
LEGISLATION ISN'T CLEAR WHETHER
TEACHERS FOUND GUILTY OF SEXUAL
MISCONDUCT WILL HAVE THEIR
LICENSE REVOKED.
>> SHE REFERENCES A TEACHER ON
HOME ASSIGNMENT AFTER YEARS OF
COMPLAINTS OF SEXUALLY
INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS.
>> IT CAUSED OUTRAGE AT MY
SCHOOL.
>> EMPLOYMENT LAWYER DAVID
WHITTEN SAYS THE NEW RULES MAY
ALREADY BE FOO BROAD.
TOO BROAD.
>> I THINK IT'S PROBLEMATIC.
IT'S SO EXPANSIVE NOW IT COULD
CAPTURE INADVERTENT CONTACT
BETWEEN A TEACHER AND STUDENT.
>> THEY ALSO WANT TRAINING FOR
STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND
ADMINISTRATORS HOW TO RECOGNIZE
AND DEAL WITH SEXUAL ABUSE AND
MISCONDUCT.
IN JUST A MONTH THEY HAVE
COLLECTED 17,000 SIGNATURES ON
A PETITION.
>> IT'S REALLY GREAT THAT WE
HAVE SO MUCH SUPPORT.
STUDENTS ARE PASSIONATE, THEY
ARE TIRED OF NOT HAVING THEIR
VOICES HEARD.
>> Reporter: THEY ARE HOPING
THEIR VOICES ARE HEARD DURING
THE CURRENT ONTARIO ELECTION
CAMPAIGN AND NOT FORGOTTEN WHEN
BOTH THE LEGISLATURE AND SCHOOL
RETURNS IN SEPTEMBER.
RON CHARLES, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Andrew: SO HOW OFTEN DO
TEACHERS LOSE THEIR LICENSES?
OVER ANY KIND OF MISCONDUCT IN
THIS COUNTRY?
WELL CBC NEWS MARKETPLACE
INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT 374
TEACHERS HAD THEIR CERTIFICATES
PULLED BETWEEN 2005 AND 2015,
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY IN
ONTARIO.
EXCLUDING QUEBEC, ONLY REVOKING
1 IN 5,780.
DOWN IN THE STATES THAT RATE IS
ABOUT 30% HIGHER.
AND NEXT ON "THE NATIONAL", A
SCI-FI SOLUTION TO THE RAVAGES
OF LIFE ON AN ASSEMBLY LINE.
>> I THINK WHEN I RETIRE IN SIX
YEARS, I'M NOT GOING TO BE ALL
HANDS GRIPPED AND SHOULDERS
HURT, I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF GUYS
AFTER THEY RETIRED THEY FALL
APART BECAUSE 30-40 YEARS
>> Andrew: WELCOME BACK.
THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS
WRAPPED UP IN A BIT OF A
SCIENCE EXPERIMENT BUT THE TEST
SUBJECTS AREN'T THE CARS
THEMSELVES, THEY ARE FOCUSING
ON THE PEOPLE WHO BUILD THEM.
YOU MAY THINK IT'S MOSTLY
ROBOTS WHO DO THE WORK BUT
ASSEMBLYING THE MILLIONS OF
CARS A YEAR IS STILL QUITE
LABOUR INTENSIVE.
SO THEY ARE MECHANIZING GIVING
THEM SUPER HUMAN QUALITY AND
SAYING IT COULD MAKE LIFE
BETTER FOR EVERYONE.
I WENT TO AN ASSEMBLY PLANT
OUTSIDE DETROIT IN MICHIGAN TO
MEET A MAN USING AN AUGMENTING
PROCESS ABOUT AS SIMPLE AS
PUTTING ON A BACKPACK.
>> THE MODERN DAY ASSEMBLY
LINE, MILLIONS OF MOVING PARTS
AND REAL MARRIAGE OF MAN AND
MACHINE.
MORE THAN 1,000 HUMANS WORK THE
LINE HERE AND THEY ARE
EVERYTHING MACHINES ARE NOT,
INTELLIGENCE, ADAPTABLE, BUT
ALSO FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED.
>> YOU ARE EXHAUSTED AT THE END
OF THE DAY.
MY WIFE WILL SAY LET'S GO DO
SOMETHING ON A WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND SHE WOULD SEE ME WALK
THROUGH THE DOOR AND KNOW I
WOULD TELL HER NO, I WAS TOO
TIRED TO DO ANYTHING.
MY NAME IS PAUL COLLINS, I
STARTED WORKING HERE IN 1995 IN
JANUARY.
>> 24 YEARS, HE HAS LEARNED A
LOT ABOUT ASSEMBLING CARS IN
THAT TIME AND THE LESSON THAT
STANDS OUT, IT'S PAINFUL WORK.
>> I WAS GOING HOME AT NIGHT
FLOPPING ON THE COUCH, ICY HOT
ON MY NECK EVERY NIGHT, IT'S
HARD TO EXPLAIN PAIN, YOU ARE
TIRED, EXHAUSTED, FATIGUED.
>> SO WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME
PAGE PAUL DOES VERY LITTLE
HEAVY LIFTING.
IT'S KIND OF THE OPPOSITE, A
SMALL TWEAK HERE, LITTLE TWIST
THERE, BUT CONSIDER THIS, EVERY
50 SECONDS ANOTHER CAR GOES BY,
YOU GET IN, DO YOUR THING, YOU
GET OUT, DO THAT FOR HUNDREDS
OF CARS, FOR YEARS, THERE'S A
BODY BREAKING RHYTHM TO THIS
JOB.
>> WE ARE PROGRAMMED TO DO THE
SAME THING EVERYDAY ALL DAY,
SAME PROCESS, NOTHING CHANGES.
IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE BODY
PARTS INJURED THE MOST, IF YOU
LOOK AT THE INJURY DATA, IT'S
LOW BACK AND SHOULDER.
>> THIS IS MARTY SMEDTS, CAR
GUY, NUMBER CRUNCHER
>> THE PROBLEM WITH THE
SHOULDER ONCE ITS INJURED IT
TAKES TIME TO RETURN TO FULL
FUNCTIONALITY AND IT IS COSTLY.
IT COULD BE $30,000.
>> $100,000 JUST FOR EVERYDAY
WEAR AND TEAR BUT THAT'S JUST
THE FACT OF BEING HUMAN, RIGHT?
MAYBE NOT.
>> AUGMENTING A HUMAN PROVIDES
THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
>> WHICH BRINGS US BACK TO PAUL.
HE IS AMONG THE VERY FIRST TO
PILOT A RELATIVELY NEW WAY OF
MERGING MAN AND MACHINE ON THE
JOB.
HE IS WEARING AN UPPER BODY
EXOSKELETON.
A BIONIC VEST.
>> ANYTHING THAT WILL MAKE ME
FEEL BETTER AT THE END OF THE
DAY I WILL GIVE IT A TRY.
>> WE WERE ALLOWED ON THE
MOVING ASSEMBLY LINE, THE ONLY
RULES, WATCH YOUR HEAD AND TRY
NOT TO SCRATCH THE PAINT.
>> BEFORE YOU HAVE THE VEST,
HOW WOULD IT FEEL DOING THIS
OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
>> YOU ARE HOLDING UP YOUR
ARMS, DOING THIS ALL DAY LONG.
>> HOW HEAVY IS THIS TOOL YOU
ARE HOLDING?
>> 3 POUNDS, MAYBE.
>> AFTER A FULL DAY OF HOLDING
THAT OVER YOUR HEAD YOU
DEFINITELY START FEELING, IT,
HUH?
OH YEAH, THAT'S HEAVY.
>> IT'S ALMOST AS IF SOMEONE IS
LIFTING YOUR ELBOW UP FROM
BELOW.
>> CAN YOU SHOW ME THE VEST,
HOW IT WORKS.
>> PUT IT ON LIKE A BACKPACK.
>> THE GENIUS OF THE DESIGN IS
HOW UNCOMPLICATED IT IS.
THERE'S NO FUEL, NO BATTERY, NO
ELECTRICITY AT ALL.
JUST SPRINGS.
IT'S WHAT THEY CALL A PASSIVE
DEVICE, COMPLETELY UNPOWERED.
BUT IT GIVES ENOUGH LIFT TO
MAKE YOUR ARMS AND ANY TOOLS
YOU ARE HOLDING FEEL WEIGHTLESS.
>> WOW, IT SORT OF LIFTS YOUR
ARM UP.
TO BE CLEAR, INFINITE STRENGTH,
THIS IS NOT, BUT INFINITE
ENDURANCE?
GETTING THERE.
THE WAY I HAVE MY ARMS NOW I
CAN FEEL THE MOST ACTIVATION.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE I'M JUST
RESTING MY ARMS ON A LEDGE
WITHOUT HAVING TO HOLD THEM UP.
I FEEL I COULD DO THIS FOR A
PRETTY LONG TIME.
>> THIS VEST IS JUST ONE SMALL
SLICE OF AN EVER EXPANDING
WORLD OF COLLABORATIVE MACHINES.
TAKE THE ROBO-GLOVE DEVELOPED
BY G.M. AND NAS -- NASA.
OVERSEAS AUDI AND BMW HAVE
TESTED A CHAIRLESS CHAIR.
AND CORNELL UNIVERSITY, A
WEARABLE ROBOTIC ARM, BECAUSE
WHO WOULDN'T WANT A THIRD ARM?
AND YET IT WAS OBVIOUS FROM THE
START THAT NOT EVERYBODY HERE
WOULD BE KEEN TO LET FORD
ARTIFICIALLY AUGMENT THEIR
ABILITIES, SO THE UNION TOO WAS
BROUGHT ON BOARD FROM THE GET
GO.
>> WE HAVE STRICT GUIDELINES
HOW THIS WILL BE USED.
WE DON'T WANT THE WORKER BEING
TOLD YOU CAN WORK FASTER OR
LIFT MORE PARTS OR MORE WEIGHT.
>> SO YOU HAVE THAT IN WRITING?
>> WE HAVE THAT IN WRITING.
>> YOU COULD WEAR IT IF YOU
WANT OR YOU DON'T HAVE TO, IF
YOU DON'T WANT TO WEAR IT.
>> AND THAT'S WHY SOME
OUTSIDERS LOOKING IN DON'T SEE
THIS AS MAKING MACHINES OF MEN.
AT LEAST NOT YET.
LABOUR PROFESSOR ERIC MASTERS
HAS FOLLOWED THESE TRENDS FOR
YEARS.
>> ONE COULD ALWAYS LOOK AT IT
FROM A 1984 PERSPECTIVE, OR
BRAVE NEW WORLD PERSPECTIVE.
BUT I LOOK AT IT FROM A MORE
POSITIVE POINT OF VIEW, THIS IS
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF TECHNOLOGY
AND TRYING TO USE IT FOR A GOOD
PURPOSE, TO MAKE QUALITY OF
WORK LIFE REDUCE INJURIES
BETTER.
WOULDN'T WE BE FOOLHARDY NOT TO
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT
OPPORTUNITY?
>> I THINK WHEN I RETIRE IN SIX
YEARS I'M NOT GOING TO BE ALL
HANDS GRIPPED UP SHOULDERS ALL
HURT.
I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF GUYS AFTER
THEY HAVE RETIRED THEY FELL
APART BECAUSE 30-40 YEARS OF
DOING THIS EVERYDAY.
>> BACK ON THE CHASSI LINE,
PAUL SEES THIS FIX QUITE SIMPLY.
IT WORKS.
SO WHY WORRY.
HE THINKS HIS LIFE WOULD HAVE
BEEN MUCH DIFFERENT IF HE HAD
SOMETHING LIKE THIS 24 YEARS
AGO, BUT NO POINT LOOKING BACK
NOW, ONLY FORWARD.
>> MY GRANDSON IS TEN YEARS
OLD, HE IS INTO FLAG FOOTBALL
AND INTO WRESTLING.
SO MY GRAND KIDS ARE HOME, OVER
AT MY HOUSE, GRANDPA, THEY RUN
AND JUMP ON ME BECAUSE GRANDPA
IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO DO
THAT, I HAVE MORE ENERGY, WE
ROLL AROUND ON THE FLOOR, I CAN
DO THAT NOW.
>> Andrew: SO THERE YOU HAVE IT.
YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING HOW MUCH
EACH VEST ACTUALLY COSTS.
ACCORDING TO EKSO BIONICS THE
COST BETWEEN $4,000-$7,000 U.S.
DEPENDING HOW THEY ARE
CUSTOMIZED, SO A COMPANY LIKE
FORD CAN CERTAINLY AFFORD BUT
KEEP IN MIND THEY HAVE TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF ASSEMBLY WORKERS
AND IF YOU DO THE MATH FITTING
EACH WORKER THAT'S HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS JUST IN VESTS, NEVER
MIND TRAINING AND MAINTENANCE,
BUT YOU GOT TO START SOMEWHERE,
I SUPPOSE.
STILL AHEAD ON TONIGHT'S "THE
NATIONAL", HARLEQUIN ROMANCE
NOVELS.
YES THEY ARE STILL A THING AND
YES THEY STILL USE GUYS LIKE
THAT TO ADVERTISE ON TV BUT IN
THE AGE OF DONALD TRUMP THE
ROMANC
>> THE NEGOTIATIONS WILL TAKE
AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO GET A
GOOD DEAL.
IT'S GOING TO TAKE AS LONG AS
IT TAKES TO GET A GOOD DEAL AND
IT'S GOING TO TAKE AS LONG AS
IT TAKES TO GET A GOOD DEAL.
>> Andrew: A BIT OF AN EDIT
THERE, BUT THE MESSAGE FROM
CHRYSTIA FREELAND ON NAFTA IS
THAT A GOOD DEAL CANNOT BE
RUSHED.
BUT HER MEETING WITH HER U.S.
AND MEXICAN COUNTERPARTS IN
WASHINGTON TODAY WAS BRIEF.
MAYBE A LITTLE TOO BRIEF.
AS KATIE SIMPSON EXPLAINS, WHEN
IT COMES TO NAFTA, TIME IS
TICKING.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, THANKS FOR
HAVING US.
>> Reporter: DONALD TRUMP
INVITED C.E.O.'S FROM THE AUTO
SECTOR TO THE WHITE HOUSE TO
DELIVER A BLUNT UPDATE ON NAFTA
NEGOTIATIONS.
>> President Donald Trump: I'VE
NEVER BEEN A NAFTA FAN AS YOU
KNOW, IT'S BEEN A TERRIBLE DEAL
FOR THE UNITED STATES AND IN
HISTORY.
>> Reporter: HIS TONE MADE IT
NO SURPRISE THEY WERE UNABLE TO
REACH A BREAK THROUGH AFTER
FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS OF HIGH
LEVEL TALKS.
>> MINISTERS WILL BE RETURNING
TO THEIR OWN COUNTRY AS WE DID
A COUPLE WEEKS AGO TO CONSULT
ON THE PROGRESS.
>> Reporter: CBC NEWS LEARNED
THE U.S. AND MEXICO ARE STILL
ARGUING ABOUT CHANGES TO THE
AUTO SECTOR.
THE AMERICANS ARE DEMANDING
MEXICO INCREASE WAGE AND LABOUR
STANDARD THAT'S WOULD
DRAMATICALLY ALTER THE MEXICAN
ECONOMY.
>> WE BELIEVE THERE'S A WAY TO
RESOLVE AND I THINK WE ARE
TRYING TO MAKE A VERY GOOD
EFFORT BUT WE ARE NOT IN THE
FINAL DEFINITION.
>> Reporter: THE DECISION
MAKERS ARE WALKING AWAY FOR NOW.
IT'S A SETBACK GIVEN THERE HAD
BEEN HOPE AN AGREEMENT WAS
POSSIBLE BY TODAY.
>> Andrew: KATIE JOINS ME FROM
WASHINGTON.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE
TIME LINE, WHEN WILL THEY WRAP
UP?
>> Reporter: THERE'S A HARD
DEADLINE OF MAY 17th IN PLAY
RIGHT NOW.
U.S. LAW MAKERS SAY THEY NEED
AN AGREEMENT IN HAND BY NEXT
THURSDAY IF THEY ARE GOING TO
HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO APPROVE A
DEAL BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.
SOURCES AREN'T RULING ANYTHING
OUT BUT MEETING THAT TARGET IS
VERY UNLIKELY, CANADA'S FOREIGN
AFFAIRS MINISTER HAD BEEN
PREPARED TO REVAMP P HER
SCHEDULE TO RETURN TO
WASHINGTON AS EARLY AS MONDAY
IF TODAY'S MEETING WENT WELL,
INSTEAD SHE AND HER
COUNTERPARTS WILL STAY IN TOUCH
BY PHONE AND POSSIBLY RECONVENE
IN A COUPLE WEEKS, THIS MEANS
AT THE END OF THE DAY THE
UNCERTAINTY AND DRAMA WILL DRAG
ON POTENTIALLY BY 2019.
ANDREW?
>> Andrew: KATIE SIMPSON,
THANKS SO MUCH.
THE NAFTA DEAL IS ONE OF MANY
THINGS ADAPTING TO A TRUMP
PRESIDENCY.
SO TOO APPARENTLY ARE SOME
BOOKS ON THE NIGHT STAMP.
-- NIGHTSTAND, IN THE WORLD OF
#METOO, AND #TIMESUP.
>> BACK IN NOVEMBER 2016 SARAH
MacLEAN WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF
WRITING HER BEST SELLING
ROMANCE NOVEL WHEN THIS --
>> DONALD TRUMP WINS THE
PRESIDENCY.
>> U.S.A., U.S.A.!
>> MADE HER PAUSE AND
COMPLETELY RETHINK HER LEADING
MAN.
>> WHEN I OPENED THE DOCUMENT
ON THE NEXT DAY I REALIZED THAT
I HAD 275 PAGES OF A CHARACTER
WHO PROBABLY WOULD HAVE VOTED
FOR DONALD TRUMP AND I COULDN'T
DO IT.
SO I THREW IT ALL OUT AND
STARTED OVER.
>> STATEMENTS LIKE THESE --
>> GRAB BY THE -- , THIS WAS
LOCKER ROOM TALK.
>> SUCH A NASTY WOMAN.
>> MADE THE DRASTIC EDIT
NECESSARY FOR HER.
SHE CHOSE TO SHIFT AWAY FROM
THE MORE TRADITIONAL ROMANTIC
ARK OF A JERK WHO TAKES MANY
PAGES TO EVOLVE TO ONE WHO IS
ALREADY THERE.
>> I WANTED HIM TO BE THAT
ALPHA FEMINIST FROM THE VERY
START.
I WANTED HIM TO BELIEVE IN HIS
HEROINE AND IN HIS HOPE.
>> ACROSS THE BORDER LAURA
DAVIS ALSO FOUND THE TRUMP
EFFECT SEEPING INTO HER WRITING.
NOT ONLY DID SHE SWITCH FROM
EROTIC TO A MORE COMEDIC AS AN
ESCAPE FROM INTENSE HEADLINES
MORE DIVERSE CHARACTERS IN THE
WORLD OF ROMANCE.
>> DONALD TRUMP, RACISM SEEMS
TO BE MORE ACCEPTABLE NOW.
NEWS WITH WHITE SUPREMACISTS
AND STUFF LIKE THAT SO I WANTED
TO WRITE AND TELL STORIES ABOUT
HERO AND HEROINES WHO WEREN'T
WHITE AND THEY DESERVED HAPPY
ENDINGS TOO.
>> "50 SHADES OF GREY" THE BOOK
VAULTED IN THE MAINSTREAM.
>> THE FRANCHISE EVEN INSPIRED
AN UPCOMING COMEDY ABOUT A BOOK
CLUB DISCOVERING THE JOYS OF
READING THOSE STEAMY SCENES.
>> THAT'S NOT MINE, I HAVE
NEVER SEEN THAT BOOK BEFORE.
>> THIS IS NASTY.
>> THAT ALL HIDDEN SHAME IS ALL
TOO COMMON, ROMANCE AS A GUILTY
PLEASURE BUT THE MUCH MALIGNED
BLACK SHEEP OF THE LITERARY
WORLD IS SO POPULAR.
>> A BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY
PACKING CONVENTIONS AROUND THE
WORLD.
SO POPULAR THAT SOME NOW SAY
IT'S BAP REPUTATION IS ON ITS
WAY OUT.
THE MIGHTY "NEW YORK TIMES"
BOOK REVIEW HAS FOR THE FIRST
TIME EVER HIRED A ROMANCE NOVEL
REVIEWER.
JAMIE GREEN.
>> PART OF THE SHIFT IS THAT
WOMEN ARE JUST SICK OF BEING
MADE TO FEEL EMBARRASSED ABOUT
WHAT THEY LOVE AND ENJOY
READING.
JUST LIKE OVERALL IN CULTURE, I
THINK THERE IS SORT OF
RESISTANCE TO THE IDEA OF
GUILTY PLEASURE IF SOMETHING IS
A PLEASURE YOU DON'T NEED TO BE
GUILTY ABOUT IT.
>> ANOTHER SHIFT RAUNCHY SEX
SCENES ARE THE NEW NORM,
SYNONYMOUS WITH THE OLD SCHOOL
ROMANCE HARLEQUIN RECENTLY
LAUNCHED ITS DARE SERIES FULL
OF BOLD WOMEN ASKING FOR WHAT
THEY WANT IN THE BEDROOM.
STILL ROMANTIC CONVENTIONS
ABOUND AND COULD BE PROBLEMATIC
IN TODAY'S CLIMATE, THE BOSS
SEDUCING HIS SECRETARY, THE
BILLIONAIRE BOSS WALKING AROUND
NAKED IN FRONT OF EMPLOYEE.
SARAH MacLEAN SAID ALTERING
AREN'T ALWAYS EASY WHEN YOU ARE
MESSING WITH A READER'S FANTASY.
>> I HAD LOVELY HATE MAIL ABOUT
BOOKS BEING RETURN TODAY
BOOKSTORES AND COLLECTIONS OF
MY BOOKS BEING DONATED TO THE
LIBRARY.
>> AT THE END OF THE DAY
ROMANCE NOVELS ARE ALL ABOUT
ESCAPE AND THE ENDING IS
NON-NEGOTIABLE.
>> BECAUSE EVERYONE DESERVES A
ROMANTIC GET AWAY.
>> HAPPILY EVER AFTER EVEN --
>> Andrew: WINNIPEG IS IN
CELEBRATION AS THE JETS GET
READY TO HEAD TO THE WESTERN
CONFERENCE FINAL AND DEDICATED
FANS ARE CERTAINLY SHARING WITH
LOVED ONES.
>> PEOPLE WERE KISSING IT, THE
URN, AND HOLDING IT,
>> THE WINNIPEG JETS ARE GOING
TO THE WESTERN CONFERENCE
FINALS.
>> Andrew: THE JETS CERTAINLY
CAME THROUGH WHEN IT COUNTED
LAST NIGHT.
THEIR REWARD WILL BE AN
ENCOUNTER WITH THE TEAM FROM SIN
CITY.
THE NEXT ROUND AGAINST THE VEGAS
GOLDEN KNIGHTS OPENS IN WINNIPEG
TOMORROW.
AS KAREN PAULS TELLS US, IF FAN
LOYALTY IS ANYTHING TO GO BY,
THE JETS MAY HAVE THE EDGE.
>> Reporter: AS SOON AS THAT
FINAL BUZZER WENT ON GAME 7,
WINNIPEG JETS' FANS CONGREGATED
WHERE THEY ALWAYS DO FOR BIG
MOMENTS, AT THE ICONIC
INTERSECTION OF PORTAGE AND
MAIN.
>> WE'RE READY FOR VEGAS!
>> Reporter: AMONG THOSE IN THE
CROWD, JEREMY REGAN.
HE WENT WITH A FRIEND AND HIS
MOTHER'S ASHES.
IT HAD HIS DOWNTOWN BARBERSHOP
BUZZING.
REGAN'S MOM, LINDA, DIED OF
CANCER ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO.
SHE LOVED HOCKEY AND THE JETS.
REGAN KNEW HE HAD TO SHARE LAST
NIGHT'S PARTY WITH HER.
>> PEOPLE WERE COMING UP AND
KISSING IT THE URN AND HOLDING
IT AND WANTING PICTURES WITH ME
WITH THE URN.
>> Reporter: THIS IS THE FIRST
TIME AN NHL TEAM FROM WINNIPEG
HAS MADE IT TO THE THIRD ROUND
OF PLAYOFFS.
THEIR OPPONENTS, VEGAS GOLDEN
KNIGHTS, DIDN'T EVEN EXIST LAST
SEASON, BUT NOW ARE THE MOST
SUCCESSFUL NORTH AMERICAN PRO
SPORTS EXPANSION TEAM IN
HISTORY.
TREVOR ALEXANDER IS A BLOGGER
AND UNIVERSITY RADIO HOST.
HE WAS AT THE ARENA THIS MORNING
TO CHECK ON TICKET SALES.
>> WE HOPE WE CAN MAKE THE
COUNTRY PROUD AND MAYBE
ELIMINATE VEGAS AND COMPETE FOR
THAT PUCK AGAIN.
>> Reporter: JETS' CAPTAIN BLAKE
WHEELER SAID THEY'RE EXPECTING A
TOUGH MATCHUP.
>> COMING INTO THE PLAYOFFS,
THAT TEAM HAD QUITE A BIT MORE
PLAYOFF EXPERIENCE THAN OUR
TEAM.
>> Reporter: IT'S BEEN 25 YEARS
SINCE A CANADIAN TEAM WON THE
STANLEY CUP.
>> IT FEELS GOOD TO BE A
CANADIAN TEAM GOING THIS FAR.
>> Reporter: BACK AT THE
BARBERSHOP, JEREMY REGAN SAYS
THAT THE JETS ARE DOING MORE
THAN JUST PLAYING HOCKEY.
>> IT JUST BRINGS US TOGETHER ON
A HUMANKIND OF LEVEL, RIGHT?
>> Reporter: AND IF THE JETS GO
ALL THE WAY --
>> MAMA'S COMING BACK TO PORTAGE
AND MAIN.
>> Caller: KAREN PAULS, CBC
NEWS, WINNIPEG.
>> Andrew: IT WAS A YEAR AGO
THIS WEEK THAT DONALD TRUMP
FIRED JAMES COMEY.
NOW ALL THIS TIME LATER, THE
FORMER F.B.I. DIRECTOR IS
SHARING HIS STORY IN HIS BOOK
"HIGHER LOYALTY."
>> WHEN THAT E-MAIL CASE WAS
OPEN, MY DEPUTY DIRECTOR LOOKED
AT ME AND SAID WITH A WRY SMILE,
"YOU KNOW YOU'RE TOTALLY
SCREWED, RIGHT?"
IT WAS A NIGHT MARE FOR ME.
IT STILL IS, BUT I HONESTLY
CAN'T SAY THAT I WOULD DO IT
DIFFERENTLY IF I HAD TO GO BACK.
THE TRUTH IS, THE CENTRAL VALUE
IN THE F.B.I. AND I HOPE IN MY
COUNTRY AND THIS GREAT COUNTRY,
THAT IT MATTERS.
WE'RE ALL BECOMING NUMB TO THE
MELTING OF THAT CENTRAL VALUE,
OF THAT TRUTH.
WE'RE ALL OVERWHELMED WITH
FALSEHOODS.
WHEN I SEE THE LEADER OF THE
COUNTRY CONSTANTLY ATTACKING
THAT RULE OF LAW, I WORRY FOR
THE FUTURE.
DONALD TRUMP WILL PASS FROM THE
SCENE IN THE UNITED STATES.
THE QUESTION IS, WHAT HAVE WE
LEARNED FROM THIS TIME?
WHAT I'M TRYING TO BE PART OF IS
MAKING SURE WE HAVE A
CONVERSATION TODAY SO THAT WE
EMERGE FROM THIS PERIOD, WHICH I
LIKEN TO A FOREST FIRE.
THERE WILL BE LOTS OF GROWTH AND
ALL KINDS OF COOL THINGS, BUT
MINIMIZE THE DAMAGE AND
ACCELERATE THE HEALING COMING
OUT OF THIS.
>> Andrew: SO I WILL SAY THIS --
I'VE SEEN A FEW COMEY
INTERVIEWS, SOME SERIOUS AND
OTHERS QUITE SILLY, LIKE ON LATE
NIGHT TV.
IT'S BEEN QUITE STRIKING TO SEE
VERY DIFFERENT SIDES OF JAMES
COMEY, NONE OF WHICH ARE SIMILAR
AT ALL TO THE SIDE OF HIM WE SAW
WHILE HE WAS F.B.I. DIRECTOR.
I SUPPOSE THE DIFFERENCE NOW IS,
HE HAS A BOOK TO TALK ABOUT.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR THIS
FRIDAY, MAY 11.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.
