>> Andrew: THE WATER KEEPS
RISING IN NEW BRUNSWICK, AND THE
WORST ISN'T OVER YET.
THE PROVINCE CALLS IN THE COAST
GUARD TO HELP WITH RESCUE
EFFORTS.
>>> AND THE RUNWAY NEAR MISS
THAT HIGHLIGHTS CANADA'S STANCE
ON PILOT FATIGUE.
RELEASED VIDEO FROM THE DARK OF
NIGHT PAINTS THE ALMOST HORROR
STORY.
OTTAWA TELLS US WHAT CHANGES ARE
COMING.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
>> Andrew: NEW BRUNSWICK IS NOW
IN UNCHARTERED TERRITORY.
FLOOD WATERS ALONG THE RIVER
STARTED SURPASSING RECORD LEVELS
SET BACK IN 1973, AND THE PEAK
IS YET TO COME.
TONIGHT, PART OF THE
TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY WAS CLOSED,
AND IT WILL STAY THAT WAY LIKELY
FOR DAYS.
WITH SO MANY ROADS AFFECTED, IN
SO MANY PARTS OF SOUTHERN NEW
BRUNSWICK, THE COAST GUARD HAS
BEEN CALLED IN TO HELP WITH THE
GROWING NUMBER OF RESCUES BY
BOAT.
>> YOU'RE ON DRY LAND NOW.
>> OKAY.
>> FOR NOW, EVACUATIONS ARE
VOLUNTARY, BUT OFFICIALS ARE
PLEADING WITH PEOPLE TO LEAVE
THE FLOOD ZONES WHILE IT'S STILL
SAFE TO DO SO.
>> A NIGHT EVACUATION BY BOAT IS
A DANGEROUS AND RISKY OPERATION,
AND IF WE DON'T HAVE TO GO
THERE, WE DON'T WANT TO.
>> THE THREAT STRETCHES ALL
ALONG THE RIVER FROM FREDERICTON
TO ST. JOHN, BUT MANY RESIDENTS
ARE REFUSING TO LEAVE, INCLUDING
ON THE KINGSTON PENINSULA, A
VULNERABLE STRIP OF LAND BETWEEN
TWO RISING RIVERS.
KAYLA HAS THAT STORY.
>> Reporter: THE WATER THREATENS
TO BREACH THE SANDBAGS.
>> THIS CAME UP REALLY FAST.
>> Reporter: SHE BOARDED UP HER
WINDOWS AND IS USING PUMPS IN AN
EFFORT TO KEEP THE WATER OUT.
>> I HAVE NEIGHBORS DOWN THE
ROAD.
THEY'VE SHUT DOWN.
YOU KNOW, SOME HAVE --
>> Reporter: SOME HAVE GIVEN UP,
BUT SHE'S DETERMINED TO STAY
DESPITE ALL THAT WATER.
>> RIGHT NOW, IF YOU WERE
STANDING ON MY BEACH, YOU WOULD
BE OVER YOUR HEAD IN WATER.
>> Reporter: THE NEIGHBORS ARE
SANDBAGGING, TOO.
THIS IS JODI'S CHILDHOOD HOME
AND SHE CAN'T BEAR TO LEAVE.
WE JUST TRY TO SAVE IT.
>> Reporter: AS RESIDENTS
STRUGGLE TO SAVE THEIR HOMES,
THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT ACCESS FOR
EMERGENCY SERVICES WITH SO MANY
ROADS NOW IMPASSABLE, THEY FEAR
AMBULANCES JUST WON'T BE ABLE TO
GET TO THOSE IN NEED.
>> IT WOULD BE A GOOD 4 HOURS
FOR THEM TO GET TO A HOSPITAL,
AND IN A CRISIS SITUATION,
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT.
>> Reporter: THIS FERRY IS ONE
OF TWO STILL OPERATING.
TYPICALLY THERE ARE FIVE.
THE WATER LEVEL IS SO HIGH, THE
FERRIES CAN'T LET CARS OFF.
THEY WERE ABLE TO USE SAND TO
BUILD A RAMP BEFORE THE ROAD
FLOODED.
>> WE HAVE TO GET HELP FROM THE
GOVERNMENT OR FROM SOME OTHER
AGENCY.
IN RURAL NEW BRUNSWICK, WE DON'T
SEEM TO BE GETTING THAT AS MUCH
AS IN THE URBAN AREAS.
>> Reporter: LOCAL MLA TAKES US
FURTHER INTO THE FLOOD ZONE.
EVERYWHERE WE LOOK, THERE ARE
SIGNS THE SITUATION HERE IS FAR
WORSE.
IN THIS HOME, THE BASEMENT IS
ALREADY FULL OF WATER AND IT
COULD SOON REACH THE FIRST
FLOOR.
>> WE HAD PUMPS AND WE COULDN'T
KEEP UP.
SO THIS IS A REAL DISASTER.
>> Reporter: FRIENDS CAME TO
HELP HER MOVE ALL HER FURNITURE
UPSTAIRS.
>> WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO
THANK THE PEOPLE IN THE
NEIGHBOURHOOD.
WE DON'T REALIZE WHAT KIND OF
NEIGHBOURHOOD WE LIVE IN UNTIL
SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS.
>> Reporter: AUTHORITIES SAY
IT'S GOING TO GET WORSE BEFORE
IT GETS BETTER.
CBC NEWS, LONG POINT, NEW
BRUNSWICK.
>> Andrew: NEW BRUNSWICK'S
REMERE WAS ON HAND IN ST. JOHN'S
TODAY, ACTUALLY GIVING A HELPING
HAND TO RESIDENTS THERE
PREPARING FOR THE WORST.
HE WAS MOVING HEAVY FURNITURE
OUT OF A FLOODED HOME.
I REACHED HIM AFTERWARDS BACK IN
FREDERICTON.
HAVE A LISTEN.
WE'VE SEEN THE SITUATION GO FROM
BAD TO WORSE.
WHO KNOWS WHAT WE'LL SEE
TOMORROW.
WHO IS YOUR MOST URGENT CONCERN
RIGHT NOW?
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME,
ANDREW.
RIGHT NOW, WE JUST WANT NEW
BRUNSWICKERS TO KNOW THAT IF
THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED FLOODING
IN THE PAST, IF THEY'RE IN THE
FLOOD ZONES OF THE CURRENT
IMPACTED AREAS, THAT THEY REALLY
SHOULD LOOK FOR ALTERNATIVE
ACCOMMODATIONS.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT MANY FEEL
THEY HAVE SEEN FLOODS BEFORE IN
THE PROVINCE AND THEY CAN HANDLE
IT.
THIS IS A FLOOD LIKE WE'VE NEVER
SEEN OVER THE LAST FEW DECADES
OR EVEN IN THE HISTORY OF OUR
PROVINCE.
SO A LOT OF SURPRISES COULD COME
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND
DAYS.
WE ASK THEM TO SEEK ALTERNATIVE
ACCOMMODATIONS WITH FAMILY OR
FRIENDS.
IF THEY CAN'T FIND ANYONE TO
HELP CALL THE RED CROSS.
AT THE SAME TIME, I DO WANT TO
SAY THAT I'VE BEEN INSPIRED BY
NEW BRUNSWICKERS.
THEY'RE STEPPING UP TO HELP
THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS,
AND COMPLETE STRANGERS JUST
BECAUSE THEY'RE NEIGHBORS AND
IT'S INSPIRING TO SEE BECAUSE I
THANK THEM FOR DOING WHAT
THEY'RE DOING TO HELP THEIR
COMPLAINTS.
>> I AM CURIOUS, WHY THE
DECISION SO FAR NOT TO CALL IN
THE MILITARY BECAUSE YOU TALK
ABOUT THE UNPRECEDENTED NATURE
OF THE FLOODING THAT WE'RE
SEEING.
I MEAN, AT WHAT POINT WOULD THE
PROVINCE DECIDE WE NEED THEIR
HELP?
>> WELL, WE JUST SEE WHAT OUR
RESOURCES ARE LIKE AT THE
MOMENT.
DO WE HAVE ENOUGH RESOURCES IN
ARE THE PEOPLE OUT THERE
EXHAUSTED AND NEED MORE SUPPORT?
WE'RE EVALUATING WHAT WE NEED TO
DEPLOY AND IF THERE ARE
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES NEEDED.
WE ARE WILLING TO CALL IN THE
ARMING IF IT'S NECESSARY AND IF
IT WILL SUPPORT KEEPING NEW
BRUNSWICKERS SAFE.
AT THIS POINT, WE'VE ACTUALLY
CHOSEN ANOTHER ROUTE FOR TODAY.
WE ASKED THE CANADIAN COAST
GUARD TO COME HELP US.
WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE AND FAMILIES
THAT ARE ISOLATED AFTER BEING
FLOODED.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
ALTHOUGH WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO
EVACUATE THEIR HOMES, FOR THOSE
STAYING THERE, WE WANT TO ENSURE
THEY HAVE ACCESS IN CASE OF
EMERGENCY.
WE UNDERSTAND PEOPLE WANT TO
PROTECT THEIR HOMES OR
BELONGINGS, THEIR MEMORIES.
IT MEANS A LOT TO PEOPLE.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT.
WE ASK THEM TO EVACUATE, IF
POSSIBLE.
BUT IF THEY DON'T, WE WILL
ENSURE WITH THE CANADA I DON'T
KNOW COAST GUARD'S SUPPORT WE
ARE IN THE AREA IN CASE OF AN
EMERGENCY SO WE CAN SUPPORT
THEM.
>> WE WISH YOULE WITH.
WE KNOW YOU'RE BUSY THERE.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO
TALK TO US.
WE APPRECIATE THAT.
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
>>> WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT
SOMEONE.
DO YOU REMEMBER DARLINGS ISLAND
IN THEY'VE BEEN CUT OFF FROM THE
MAINLAND SINCE SUNDAY BECAUSE
THERE'S ONE ROAD LEADING ON AND
OFF THE ISLAND AND IT'S BEEN
WASHED OUT.
THAT'S WHERE THIS GUY COMES IN.
HIS NAME IS ROB, BETTER KNOWN AS
UBER ROB.
YOU CAN SEE WHY.
HE'S TAKEN TIME OFF WORK TO
PROVIDE A FREE WATER TAXI FOR
STRANDED RESIDENTS.
>> JUST TERRIBLE TO SEE LIKE THE
ELDERLY, KIDS, EVEN JUST REGULAR
HEALTHY FOLKS STRUGGLING TO GET
THROUGH THAT WATER.
WHEN I FIRST STARTED ON MONDAY,
IT WAS UP TO THEIR HIPS, WEARING
HIP WADERS.
THEN TO CHEST WADERS, AND NOW
IT'S IMPASSABLE.
THE WATER IS OVER THEIR HEADS.
YOU HAVE TO DODGE SOME
LAWNMOWERS, LIKE TRACTORS,
BARRELS, DOCKS.
SO IT'S NOT THE CHALLENGE BEING
IN THE WATER.
IT'S ALL THE STUFF AND DEBRIS
THAT'S FLOATING IN THE WATER.
>> YOU KNOW, ARE THE SURREAL
THING ABOUT ALL THAT IS IN A
WAY, HE'S BEEN BOATING THOSE
WATERS AROUND DARLINGS ISLAND
ALL HIS WIFE, 30 PLUS YEARS.
BUT I'M BETTING HE'S NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
>> I MIGHT BE AGING MYSELF.
I SEE THAT AND THINK OF
MR. ROGERS WHO USED TO SAY, LOOK
FOR THE HEAPERS.
NO MATT -- HIG HIGH-HELPERS.
NO MATTER HOW BAD IT IS, THERE'S
ALWAYS A HELPER.
>> I WATCHED MR. ROGERS, TOO.
THOSE MOMENTS ARE GOOD BECAUSE
IT BRINGS OUT THE KINDNESS IN
OTHERS AND HELPING STRANGERS.
>> YOU BET.
>>> FEDERAL AVIATION
INVESTIGATORS ARE PIECING
TOGETHER WHAT LED TO ALMOST AN
AVIATION CATASTROPHE.
THAT SUDDEN ABORTED LANDING.
WE HAVE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE
CLOSE CALL AND HOW A TIRED PILOT
BARELY AVOIDED A MASSIVE CRASH.
>> Reporter: THE VIDEO IS
STRIKING.
WITH 140 PEOPLE ON BOARD AN AIR
CANADA FLIGHT, NEARLY LANDS INTO
FOUR OTHER JETS ON THE GROUND.
COMING WITHIN METRES OF A CRASH.
THE PLANE LINED UP TO LAND ON A
TAXIWAY RATHER THAN THE ADJACENT
RUNWAY.
A HUGE 787 ON THE GROUND,
SWITCHING HIS BRIGHT LIGHTS ON.
PERHAPS, TO AVERT A DISASTER.
>> Reporter: THE LATEST
INVESTIGATIVE REPORT PROVIDES A
WEALTH OF INFO INCLUDING ON
PILOT FATIGUE.
>> RIGHT NOW, CANADA HAS AMONGST
THE WORST WORKING AND CREW REST
TIMES IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
>> Reporter: INDEED, CANADA'S
PILOTS ARE OFTEN REQUIRED TO BE
ALERT FOR MORE THAN 13 HOURS.
ELSEWHERE, THE RULES ARE VERY
DIFFERENT.
>> WE COULDN'T DO SOME IS OF THE
FLYING THAT DO YOU IN AFRICA AND
CHINA AND LATIN AMERICA AND ASIA
OR IN EUROPE.
>> Reporter: WITH THE CREW IN
QUESTION, THE EXPERIENCED
CAPTAIN FLEW TO NEW YORK AND
BACK THE NIGHT BEFORE THE
INCIDENT TELLING INVESTIGATORS
THAT THREW OFF HIS SLEEP CYCLE A
BIT.
HE FELL ASLEEP BETWEEN 2:00 AND
3:00 IN THE MORNING.
HIS KIDS WOKE HIM UP AROUND
7:45.
AIR CANADA ASSIGNED HIM TO A
9:25 P.M. FLIGHT.
ONCE AIRBORNE, HE STARTED
FEELING FATIGUED ABOUT MIDPOINT
ON THE INCIDENT FLIGHT.
BUT FATIGUE ISN'T THE ONLY
ISSUE.
CONSTRUCTION AT THE SAN
FRANCISCO AIRPORT MADE THE
AIRPORT LOOK DIFFERENT AT NIGHT.
AS AN AIR CANADA -- SIMULATION
SHOWS.
THEY SUSPECTED SOMETHING WAS OFF
>> Reporter: THE DELTA FLIGHT
LANDING RIGHT BEFORE THEM HEARD
THE CALLS AND TOLD INVESTIGATORS
I ASSUMED HE HAD SIMILAR
CONFUSION TO OURS.
THE PLANES ON THE GROUND HAD
THEIR LIGHTS OFF, WHICH HELPED
CREATE THIS MISCONCEPTION THAT A
TAXIWAY WAS ACTUALLY A RUNWAY.
THERE'S A LOT RIDING ON THIS
INVESTIGATION.
HAD IT CONTINUED FOR A SECOND
MORE, FIVE PLANES FULL OF
PASSENGERS COULD HAVE BEEN LEFT
IN FLAMES.
CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>>> AS DAVID MENTIONED, AIRLINE
INDUSTRY EXPERTS SAY CANADA'S
LIMITS ON HOW LONG PILOTS CAN
FLY IN A DAY ARE MUCH LOOSER
THAN THOSE IN MANY OTHER
COUNTRIES, BUT THE TRUDEAU
GOVERNMENT IS LOOKING TO CHANGE
THAT.
TONIGHT, TRANSPORT MINISTER'S
OFFICE TOLD CBC NEWS THAT NEW
RULES ARE COMING LATER THIS
YEAR.
AIRLINES WILL THEN HAVE 12
MONTHS TO COMPLY.
RIGHT NOW, CANADIAN PILOTS CAN
FLY FOR
UP TO 14 HOURS.
UNDER PROPOSED CHANGES, PILOTS
WOULD HAVE TO STOP WORK AFTER 9
TO 13 HOURS DEPENDING ON TIME OF
DAY, LONGER HOURS DURING THE
DAY, SHORTER AT NIGHT, TO TAKE
ACCOUNT OF A PILOT'S INTERNAL
BODY CLOCK.
THAT IS ALREADY THE CASE IN THE
UNITED STATES AND EUROPE.
>>> LET'S SHIFT NOW TO A STORY
FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA WITH
IMPLICATIONS FOR PEOPLE RIGHT
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
THERE ARE FEARS THAT CERTAIN
HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ARE GROSSLY
EXCEEDING THEIR SCOPE.
WITH SERIOUSLY QUESTIONABLE
ADVICE.
MANY CANADIANS MAYBE YOU SEE A
CHIROPRACTOR EVERY YEAR OVER
MUSCLE AND SPINE ISSUES.
MOST WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE.
BUT BC'S TOP MEDICAL OFFICER IS
DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT AN ANTI
VACCINATION AGENDA HAS
INFILTRATED THE PROFESSION.
LOOK AT THOSE NOW REMOVED
FACEBOOK POSTS FROM A CLINIC IN
VICTORIA.
THIS ONE SUGGESTS VACCINATIONS
ARE LEADING TO INCREASED
SHOULDER INJURIES IN CHILDREN.
ANOTHER CLAIMS VACCINATED
CHILDREN ARE MORE HEALTH
PROBLEMS THAN UNVACCINATED KIDS.
YET ANOTHER LINKS VACCINES TO
CANCER AND NOW THE VICE CHAIR OF
THE CHIROPRACTIC COLLEGE HIMSELF
IS BEING ACCUSED OF TRADING IN
ANTI-VAXXER THEORIES.
WE LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON.
>> Reporter: IT'S ADVICE THOUGH
GOES BEYOND BACKS AND MUSCLES.
>> THE BEST WAY TO PROTECT
YOURSELF IS NOT A FLU SHOT IN
OUR OPINION, BUT BOOSTING YOUR
IMMUNE SYSTEM.
ONE OF THE WAYS TO DO THAT IS
FRESH JUICES.
>> Reporter: THE VIDEO WAS
ORDERED OFF FACEBOOK BECAUSE THE
BC BODY THAT REGULATES
CHIROPRACTORS FORBIDS MEMBERS
FROM GIVING VACCINE ADVICE.
GUESS WHO IS THE VICE CHAIR.
>> I DON'T BELIEVE WE'RE HAVING
THIS CONVERSATION IN 2018.
>> Reporter: THE HEAD OF THIS
DOCTOR'S GROUP WORRIES ABOUT
CONTINUED MISINFORMATION ABOUT
VACCINES.
>> THE SCOPE OF PRACTICE FOR
CHIROPRACTORS HAS TO DO WITH
BONE AND JOINT MANIPULATION.
SO HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY TRAINING
OR QUALIFICATIONS TO TALK ABOUT
DIET AND IMMUNIZATIONS.
>> Reporter: IT'S NOT JUST ONE
CHIROPRACTOR.
WRY FOUND SEVERAL EXAMPLES OF
PROMISES TO TREAT EVERYTHING
FROM DIABETES AND ADD TO SPEECH
DISORDERS IN CHILDREN.
LIKE THIS ONTARIO CHIROPRACTOR
WHO ALSO SITS ON HIS PROVINCE'S
REGULATORY COLLEGE.
>> THE IDEA IS IN TWO OR THREE
ADJUSTMENTS, YOU'RE GOING TO
TALK.
>> Reporter: IN MANITOBA, FIVE
CHIROPRACTORS WERE FORCED TO
CHANGE THEIR WEBSITES AFTER
MAKING QUESTIONABLE CLAIMS.
>> OVER 7,000 PRACTITIONERS IN
THE COUNTRY, AND UNFORTUNATELY,
THERE'S A SMALL SUBSET THAT IS
SPEAKING CONTRARY TO OUR SCOPE
OF PRACTICE.
>> Reporter: BUT IS IT REALLY
THAT SMALL?
WHEN EDMONTON RESEARCHERS
SURVEYED CHIROPRACTORS WEBSITES
ACROSS CANADA, THEY FOUND MORE
THAN A THIRD CLAIM TO DIAGNOSE
OR EVEN TREAT ASTHMA.
>> THEY'RE GOING TO BE SELF
REGULATED PROFESSION AND IF THEY
ARE CALLING THEMSELVES SIGN
BASED, AND THEN THEY HAVE TO
STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND MAKE
SURE THEIR MEMBERS ARE NOT
OFFERING SERVICES THAT ARE NOT
ROOTED IN SCIENCE.
>> Reporter: AS FOR THATBACK
REGULATORY COLLEGE, THE VICE
CHAIR IS PROMISING TO BREAK THE
SILENCE TOMORROW.
CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>>> NOW, IT'S IMPORTANT TO SAY
THAT THE PROFESSION'S NATIONAL
ORGANIZATION DOES NOT OPPOSE
VACCINATIONS.
IT SAYS THE CANADIAN
CHIROPRACTIC ASSOCIATION
RECOGNIZES THAT VACCINATION AND
IMMUNE NATIONS ARE ESTABLISHED
PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICES AND THE
PREVENTION OF INFECTIOUS
DISEASES.
>>> NEXT ON "THE NATIONAL," MP
ERIN WEIR EXPELLED FROM CAUCUS
AFTER CBC NEWS REVEALED THE
DETAILS OF A HARASSMENT
INVESTIGATION.
EXACTLY WHY HE'S OUT IS IN
DESPITE.
SOME OF MY FAVOURITE PEOPLE ARE
HERE TO TALK ABOUT IT, ANDREW,
CHANTEL AND ALTHIA WILL BREAK IT
DOWN ON AT
>>> I CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIOUS
ALLOW MR. WEIR TO REMAIN A
MEMBER.
>> WHAT THE INVESTIGATOR FOUND
WAS THAT I WAS SOMETIMES SLOW TO
PICK UP ON SOCIAL CUES AND THAT
I SAT OR STOOD TOO CLOSE TO
PEOPLE AND ENGAGED THEM IN
CONVERSATION MORE THAN THEY
WISHED TO SPEAK WITH ME.
NOW, THAT'S FAR FROM WHAT MOST
CANADIANS WOULD CONSIDER TO BE
SEXUAL HARASSMENT.
>> Rosemary: SEXUAL HARASSMENT
ACCUSATIONS MIGHT BE THE
HEADLINE HERE, BUT IT'S NOT
REALLY CLEAR WHY ERIN WEIR WAS
KICKED OUT OF CAUCUS.
SINGH SAYS THE FACT HE DID NOT
ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS
ACTIONS AND THEN WENT ON TO
SPEAK TO THE MEDIA AFTER PARTS
OF THE REPORT WERE LEAKED TO THE
CBC WAS NOT OKAY.
WEIR SAYS THE PROCESS IS FLAWED.
HERE TO TALK ABOUT IT IS ANDREW
COYNE, CHANTEL HEBERT AND ALTHIA
RAJ.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS?
FIRST OF ALL, IT'S HARD TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT REALLY HAPPENED,
BUT OF THE WAY IT WAS EVEN
HANDLED.
>> IT'S ALL VERY -- THE FAULT OF
THAT -- WELL, TO MR. WEIR AND
THE NDP BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO
KNOW IN THIS HE SAID SHE SAID
WHO WAS REALLY RIGHT, BUT THE
MAJOR FAULT OVER THE LONG-TERM
IS REALLY HARD TO KNOW BASED ON
THAT, WHERE THE NDP DRAWS THE
LINE THAT'S ACCEPTABLE, NOT
ACCEPTABLE.
POSSIBLY COULD BE REDEEMED
BEHAVIOUR.
A LOT OF SMOKE.
BUT REALLY HARD TO TELL WHAT THE
FOREST LOOKS LIKE.
>> ALTHIA, I GUESS YOU WERE
PROBABLY ON THE HILL FOR THAT
AND HAVE BEEN TALKING TO PEOPLE.
WHAT IS YOUR SENSE OF WHAT
HAPPENED HERE OR WHETHER THIS IS
ACCEPTABLE TO CAUCUS, THE WAY
THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED.
>> CAUCUS SEEMS TO BE REALLY
FIRMLY BEHIND THEIR LEADER.
UNLIKE THE DAVID CHRISTOPHERSON
FINISHMENT WE TALKED ABOUT A FEW
WEEKS AGO.
IN THIS CASE, NOBODY HAS REALLY
ANYTHING TO SAY CONTRARY TO THE
PARTY LINE ON MR. WEIR BEING
KICKED OUT OF CAUCUS.
IT IS -- TWO THINGS I WANT TO
SAY.
I ACTUALLY DISAGREE THAT IT'S
OPAQUE.
I THINK WE LEARNED A LOT MORE
ABOUT THIS PROCESS THAN WE HAVE
LEARNED ABOUT THE PROCESS
INVOLVE THE LIBERALS, FOR
EXAMPLE.
WE HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE PMO
SENIOR STAFFER QUIT HIS JOB AND
WHAT THE NATURE OF THE
ALLEGATIONS WERE AGAINST HIM.
THE LIBERAL GOVERNMENT NEVER
TOLD US WHAT HAPPENED TO HUNTER
AND WHY HE WAS REMOVED FROM
CABINET AND CAUCUS.
WE WERE NEVER REALLY TOLD WHY
MR. HARE REMAINS IN CAUCUS.
THERE ARE, IN THIS CASE,
MR. SINGH CAME OUT AND SAID WE
HAVE ONE ALLEGATION OF
HARASSMENT, THREE OF SEXUAL
HARASSMENT.
THESE ARE WHY HE'S GETTING
KICKED OUT.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE
REPORT BUT THE WAY HE RESPONDED
TO THE REPORT.
>> IT IS UNCLEAR TO ME WHAT THE
LINE IS HERE.
I THINK THAT'S CHANTEL'S POINT
FOR THE NDP.
BECAUSE SOME OF THE ALLEGATIONS
THAT WE HEARD ANY WAY, THE ONES
WE KNOW, THAT HE HIT ON WOMEN
AND THE WOMEN REJECTED HIM AND
THEN HE ACCEPTED THAT.
SO I AM NOT SURE, IF THEY DON'T
GIVE MORE DETAIL, I'M NOT SURE
THAT IS GOOD FOR THE NDP.
>> YEAH.
LESS OPAQUE THAN THE LIBERAL
PROCESS IS NOT EXACTLY A HIGH
HONOUR.
THIS IS STILL EXTREMELY OPAQUE,
NOT JUST TO THE PUBLIC BUT TO
HEAR HIM SAY, OPAQUE TO HIM.
HE DOESN'T KNOW WHO HIS ACCUSERS
ARE EXCEPT MAYBE IN ONE CASE.
DOESN'T KNOW THE FACTS OF THE
CASES.
HE WOULD BE IN A WEAK POSITION
TO OFFER A DEFENCE TO THE
INVESTIGATOR WHO WAS COLLECTING
THE EVIDENCE.
THAT'S AN INTERESTING PROCESS.
ALL WE KNOW IS WHAT HE HAS SAID.
SO THE ACTUAL FACTS MAY BE MUCH
DIFFERENT, MUCH WORSE, BUT BASED
ON WHAT HE HAS SAID, THE SEXUAL
HARASSMENT AMOUNTED TO STANDING
TOO CLOSE TO PEOPLE AND NOT
PICKING UP VISUAL CUES.
IF IT'S THAT, THEN I AGREE WITH
YOU.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE
SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS SAYING IT
SEEMS LIKE THE REAL CRIME THAT
GOT HIM KICKED OUT WAS NOT
TAKING ONE FOR THE TEAM, NOT
ADMITTING HIS GUILT, NOT SORT OF
SUCKING IT UP.
AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN
THAT'S AN ODD SITUATION AS WELL.
YOU SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO
DISAGREE WITH THE VERDICT IF YOU
DON'T THINK YOU WERE JUSTLY
TREATED.
>> CHANTEL.
>> PART OF THE RATIONALE THAT WE
WERE SERVED WAS THAT INSTEAD OF
TAKING ONE FOR THE TEAM AND
BEING REDEEMABLE, MR. WEIR --
AND HE DID DO THAT, LINK BETWEEN
HIS OPPOSITION.
HE'S FROM SASKATCHEWAN TO A
NOTION OF A CARBON TAX.
WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO HIM.
ON THAT BASIS, HE WAS JUDGED TO
BE NOT REDEEMABLE ON THE REST OF
THE STUFF SO KICKED OUT OF
CAUCUS.
THIS IS A LEADER THAT ALLOWED
THE MPs TO GO AND QUESTION HIS
DECISIONS ON ISSUES SUCH AS HOW
YOU VOTE ON, THAT YOU WILL
RESPECT ABORTION RIGHTS.
YOU WONDER, IF -- IN THIS MAGMA
OF REASONS, WHAT IS HAPPENING.
THE OTHER PROBLEM, I THINK, THAT
MANY WILL HAVE FROM THE OUTSIDE
IS THAT FOR A LONG TIME, THE
LINE WAS -- IT WAS CLEAR NO
MEANS NO, NOT JUST NO TO THE
EXTREME, BUT JUST NO.
AND THE NDP TELLS US, THIS IS AN
MP WHO, WHEN TOLD NO, GOT NO.
>> IS IT -- I HAD HEARD A LITTLE
BIT ALTHIA THAT THERE WASN'T AN
EFFORT TO FIND A WAY TO GET RID
OF ERIN WEIR.
I'M NOT SAYING ANY OF THIS IS
MADE UP.
BUT THAT THEY WERE HAPPY TO TAKE
AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET RID OF
HIM.
>> YEAH.
I DON'T KNOW THE FACTS ON THIS
CASE.
I DO THINK THAT MR. WEIR IS A
LITTLE BIT AWKWARD.
I THINK YOU SAW THAT IN THE
CLIP.
IT'S NOT SURPRISING TO ME THAT
THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO FELT THAT
HE WAS NOT PICKING UP ON THEIR
VERBAL CUES.
MR. SINGH DID SAY WHEN MR. WEIR
ASKED SOMEBODY OUT, MADE A
ROMANTIC GESTURE AND WAS TURNED,
HE LET IT GO.
HE WAS NOT FORCEFUL.
THERE WAS NO SENSE THAT HE WAS
AGGRESSIVE IN ANY WAY.
SO I THINK SOMETIMES POLITICS IS
NOT ONLY A TEAM SPORT BUT IT'S
ALSO KIND OF LIKE THE POPULAR
CLUB AT SCHOOL.
IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE GROUP, THEY
DON'T WANT TO HANG OUT WITH YOU.
>> I WOULD AGREE THAT I THINK
FROM THE STANDPOINT OF BEING A
TEAM PLAYER, WEIR PROBABLY
CROSSED THE LINES IN TERMS OF
THE WAY HE'S REACTED, BUT THE
OTHER POINT IS AS DIFFICULT AS
WE'RE ALL FINDING THESE ISSUES
AROUND SEXUAL HARASSMENT, WE'RE
GETTING INTO MURKIER TERRITORY
WITH HARASSMENT.
WE'RE SEEING THIS WITH STORIES
IN NEWFOUNDLAND WHERE IS IT
CROSSWORDS?
THERE WAS ONE CASE WHERE THE
FINANCE MINISTER SAID THAT
HARASSMENT WAS OTHER PEOPLE
HAVING A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW
AND GANGING UP ON HER IN THAT
RESPECT.
WE NEED TO GET DEFINITION OF
HARASSMENT THAT HAS NO SEXUAL
COMPONENT.
>> DISAGREEING WITH SOMEONE IS
NOT ACTUALLY BULLYING.
I HOPE IT'S NOT BECAUSE THAT IS
THE WHOLE NEWSROOM CULTURE.
>> THE SPECIFICS OF ANY GIVEN
CASE, I DON'T KNOW.
WE'RE LISTENING TO ONE SIDE OR
THE OTHER.
I DO THINK SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT I'VE SEEN REPORTED, IT SURE
SOUNDS LIKE POLITICS AS USUAL TO
ME.
>> L CHANTEL AND THEN I HAVE TO
MOVE ON.
>> EVERY TIME I HEAR ABOUT THIS
HARASSMENT, I THINK BACK TO THE
THROWING A CANE AT ONE OF HIS
STAFFERS.
>> NOT THE BEST METRIC, BUT
OKAY.
QUICK GO AROUND.
ANDREW, ALL OF YOU ACTUALLY LOVE
THIS TOPIC.
WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF WHAT THE
GOVERNMENT PUT FORWARD.
>> I THINK THEY HAD HIGH
EXPECTATIONS, BUT THEY MANAGED
TO COME IN UNDER THEM.
IT'S A DAMP SQUID.
AS USUAL, IT'S VERY MUCH
ARRANGED AROUND THE NEEDS OF THE
POLITICAL PARTIES, RATHER THAN
NECESSARILY THE BEST INTEREST OF
THE PUBLIC.
YES, THEY'VE WARDED OFF OR MAYBE
THEY HAVE, SOME OF THESE NEW
MENACES TO OUR POLITICAL
PROCESS, FOREIGN MONEY OR
HACKING, ET CETERA, BUT THEY
HAVEN'T DONE A LOT ABOUT THE OLD
ONES, IE, ROBO CALLING, ATTACK
ADS, AND A LOT OF THAT IS DRIVEN
BY MONEY.
THERE'S TOO MUCH MONEY IN THE
SYSTEM AND THEY REALLY HAVEN'T
TACKLED THAT SITUATION.
>> THEY HAVE, THANK GOODNESS,
PUT A CAP ON HOW LONG THAT
ELECTION CAMPAIGN CAN BE SO I
WON'T DIE IN THE NEXT ONE.
WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF IT, ALTHIA?
>> I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH
ANDREW ON THIS.
>> GOOD.
>> THIS IS A -- IF YOU CARE, AND
YOU THINK THAT THE GOVERNMENT
SHOULD DO ALL IT CAN TO
ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO VOTE, THIS
GOING TO BE A BILL THAT YOU'RE
GOING TO SUPPORT.
BASICALLY, IT EXPANDS VOTING TO
A MILLION PLUS CANADIANS LIVING
ABROAD.
THEY ARE NOW GOING TO BE ABLE TO
CAST A BALLOT.
IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE
ABROAD AND DISABILITIES TO VOTE.
IT EXPANDS MOBILE VOTING.
IT BRINGS BACK THE VOTER
IDENTIFICATION CARD AS A
SECONDARY SOURCE OF PROOF OF
WHERE YOU LIVE.
IT BRINGS BACK VOUCHING, ALL
THESE THINGS THAT WE TALKED
ABOUT DURING THE ELECTION THAT
HAD CRITICS UP AND ARMS.
MANY WAYS, IT GOES FURTHER.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE BEEN
LONG-STANDING THAT NO GOVERNMENT
WANTED TO BRING IN.
IT GIVES THE COMMISSIONER, LIKE
THE POLICE COP OF ELECTION
INFRACTIONS, THE RIGHT TO COMPEL
EVIDENCE.
SHACKING THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE --
SHOCKING THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE
THAT RIGHT.
THEY CAN DEMAND RECEIPTS BEFORE
POLITICAL PARTIES GET $60
MILLION IN TAXPAYER MONEY
WITHOUT AN OUNCE OF EVIDENCE
SHOWING THEY ACTUALLY HAD SPENT
THAT MONEY.
ON THE ROBOCALLS, IT ACTUALLY
GIVES THE COMMISSIONER THE RIGHT
AND THE ABILITY TO GO AND LOOK
AT THE PHONE NUMBERS OF THE
PEOPLE THAT CALLED A REALLY BIG
GAP IN LOOPHOLE THAT EXISTED IN
THE FAIR ELECTIONS ACT.
>> I AGREE WITH ANDREW THERE ARE
THINGS THE GOVERNMENT IS TRYING
TO DO IN THIS BILL THAT DOES
VERY POORLY.
THE STUFF ON TRYING TO PREVENT
FOREIGN PEOPLE FROM GETTING
INVOLVED IN THE ELECTION
PROCESS.
I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY HAVE AN
ANSWER.
THIS BILL IS WEAK AND THERE ARE
A LOT OF LOOPHOLES.
ON THE MONEY FRONT, THEY COULD
HAVE GONE FURTHER.
THEY DIDN'T.
ON THE PRIVACY, IT MAKES IT SEEM
LIKE POLITICAL PARTIES ARE DOING
SOMETHING WHEN THERE'S NO
CONSEQUENCE.
THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO ASK WHAT
INFORMATION THEY HAVE ON YOU.
AND THERE'S NO THIRD PARTY LIKE
AN AUDITOR GOING TO VERIFY
WHETHER OR NOT PARTIES ARE DOING
WHAT THEY SAY THEY'RE DOING.
>> I TOLD YOU ALTHIA WILL LIKE
THIS TOPIC.
LAST WORD TO YOU.
>> TO ME, IT SOUNDS MORE LIKE
REMEDIAL STUFF AND NOT A LOT OF
FORWARD THING STUFF.
THERE'S SOMETHING VERY TENTATIVE
ABOUT IT.
I FIND THE TITLE ELECTORAL
REFORM TO BE A BIT BOLD
CONSIDERING THAT IT'S MOSTLY
ABOUT NUTS AND BOLTS AND NOT
REINVENTING THE ENGINE.
>> OKAY.
I'LL LEAVE IT THERE.
GOOD NEWS IF YOU WANT TO HEAR
MORE OF US TALKING ABOUT
POLITICS, WHO WOULDN'T, IT'S
ALSO A PODCAST.
HE GET EXTRA CONTENT AND THE MAY

>>> AND A DECISION BY THE
ORGANIZERS OF THE OSCARS TO
EXPEL BILL CROSS MAY AND ROMAN
POLANSKI FROM THE ACADEMY.
THE REASON, THE REVISED CODE OF
CONDUCT ADOPTED FOLLOWING THE
HARVEY WEINSTEIN SCANDAL AND THE
BIRTH OF THE #METOO MOVEMENT.
BILL COSBY WAS CONVICTED LAST
WEEK.
>>> SO DO YOU REMEMBER THIS
SCENE, DONALD TRUMP ON BOARD AIR
FORCE ONE WEEKS AGO FLAT OUT
DENYING HE KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT
THAT HUSH MONEY?
>> DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THE
$130,000 PAYMENT TO STORMY
DANIELS?
>> NO.
>> THEN WHY DID MICHAEL COHEN
MAKE IT IF THERE WAS NO TRUTH TO
THE ALLEGATIONS.
>> WELL, IT SEEMS HE MIGHT HAVE
FORGOTTEN TO LOOP IN HIS
ATTORNEY.
THE WHITE HOUSE SPENT THE DAY
DEALING WITH FALLOUT FROM AN
EXPLOSIVE INTERVIEW WITH RUDY
GIULIANI.
HE OFFERED UP EVIDENCE THAT
TRUMP HAS BEEN LYING.
WE GO THROUGH THAT AND WHAT
HAPPENED NEXT.
>> I'M GIVING YOU A FACT YOU
DON'T KNOW.
>> Reporter: THAT'S HOW RUDY
GIULIANI THE FORMER MAYOR OF
NEW YORK AND NOW ON DONALD
TRUMP'S LEGAL TEAM SET UP THE
BRAND NEW STORY OF HOW THE
PRESIDENT PAID HUSH MONEY TO
STORMY DANIELS.
>> SO THEY FUNNELED IT THROUGH
THE LAW FIRM, FUNNELED THROUGH
AND THE PRESIDENT REPAID IT.
>> Reporter: MEAN HE FUNNELED
$13,000 THROUGH THE FIRM OF
MICHAEL COHEN FOR REPAYING HIM
FOR PAYING OFF STORMY DANIELS.
HE'S UNDER FBI INVESTIGATION
RELATED TO THAT.
NEVER MIND HOW WEIRD IT IS THAT
THE PRESIDENT'S LAWYER CASUALLY
TALKS ABOUT THE PRESIDENT
FUNNELING MONEY ANYWHERE.
THE STORY DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS
THE OLD STORY TRUMP TOLD JUST A
COUPLE WEEKS AGO.
>> DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE GOT THE
MONEY TO MAKE THAT PAYMENT?
>> NO, I DON'T KNOW.
>> Reporter: GIULIANI IS SAYING
HE MADE UP THE STORY THAT HE
MADE THE MONEY HIMSELF AND NEVER
TOLD THE PRESIDENT WHICH IS
AWKWARD BECAUSE BOTH THE LAWYERS
ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE SAME
TEAM, TRUMP'S TEAM.
IN ANY CASE, COHEN HAS BEEN ON A
$35,000 A MONTH RETAINER FOR THE
PRESIDENT.
>> WHEN I HEARD COHEN'S RETAINER
OF $35,000, WHEN HE WAS DOING NO
WORK FOR THE PRESIDENT.
I SAID THAT'S HOW HE'S
REPAYING -- THAT'S HOW HE'S
REPAYING IT, WITH A LITTLE
PROFIT AND A LITTLE MARGIN FOR
PAYING TAXES.
>> Reporter: HE APPARENTLY
BELIEVES THAT MEANS THE MONEY
CAN'T BE SEEN AS AN ILLEGAL
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION FROM
COHEN.
>> THERE'S NO CAMPAIGN FINANCE
LAW, ZERO.
>> Reporter: IT'S NOWHERE NEAR 0
SAYS STORMY DANIELS LAWYER.
>> I THINK IT'S LIKELY THAT
THERE IS CRIMINAL LIABILITY
ASSOCIATED WITH HOW THIS
REPAYMENT WAS STRUCTURED
RELATING TO WHAT WAS DISCLOSED
FROM A CAMPAIGN FINANCE
PERSPECTIVE.
RUDY GIULIANI SAYS WELL, NO
CAMPAIGN FUNDS WERE USED SO
THEREFORE, THERE IS NO CAMPAIGN
FINANCE VIOLATION.
THAT'S NOT HOW THE LAW WORKS.
>> KEITH JOINS US NOW.
I HEAR WHAT THAT LAWYER IS
SAYING, BUT ARE CAMPAIGN FINANCE
VIOLATIONS REALLY THE PROBLEM
HERE?
>> WELL, I THINK CAMPAIGN
FINANCE VIOLATIONS HAVE ALWAYS
BEEN VIEWED AS RELATIVELY SMALL
POTATOES IN THE INVESTIGATION,
AND AMONG THE LEAST OF THE
PRESIDENT'S WORRIES.
THE BIGGER PROBLEMS ARE MORE
LIKELY TO COME FROM THE FACT
THAT HIS LAWYER MICHAEL COHEN IS
UNDER CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION AND
THE RECORDS OF HIS WORK WITH
TRUMP ARE IN THE HANDS OF THE
FBI.
>> AND ABOUT THAT, KEITH, WHAT'S
THAT INFORMATION ON THAT
TONIGHT?
>> NBC NEWS IS REPORTING THE FBI
HAS BEEN MONITORING PHONE
CONVERSATIONS.
NOT LISTENING TO THEM, JUST
KEEPING TRACK OF THEM.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'S
YIELDED.
IT'S LIKELY THEY HAVE STRONG
EVIDENCE OF SERIOUS CRIMES TO
GET A COURT TO ALLOW THEM TO DO
THAT TO THE PRESIDENT'S LAWYER.
>> OKAY.
KEITH BOAG IN WASHINGTON.
THANKS VERY MUCH.
>> THANK YOU.
>>> THE #METOO MOVEMENT SPARKED
TALK ABOUT THE YEAR OF THE
WOMAN.
IT'S A DEBATABLE IDEA.
TAKE POLITICS FOR INSTANCE WHERE
SOUTH OF THE BORDER, REPUBLICANS
SEEM TO HAVE CATCHING UP TO DO.
THE PARTY ISN'T RUNNING AS MANY
FEMALE CANDIDATES AS DEMOCRATIC
COUNTERPARTS AND AS LYNDSAY
DUNCOMBE EXPLAINS, EVEN WITH A
PUSH TO EXPLAIN THAT,
CONSERVATIVE WOMAN FACE CRITICAL
BARRIERS.

>> I'M CAROL O'BRIEN AND I'M
RUNNING FOR CONGRESS.
>> Reporter: THIS IS JUST WEEKS
AWAY, AND EVERY INTRODUCTION IS
A POSSIBLE VOTE.
EVERY CONNECTION OVER PIZZA, A
CHANCE FOR FIRST TIME REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE CAROL O'BRIEN TO GET
CLOSER TO WASHINGTON.
>> VOTE FOR ME TWICE?
>> Reporter: SHE'S NEVER SURE
WHAT KIND OF IMPRESSION SHE'S
MAKING.
>> THEY TALK TO OTHER PEOPLE AND
THEY TALK ABOUT HOW QUIET I AM,
WHICH IS PRETTY FUNNY BECAUSE
NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN
TOLD I'M QUIET OR IN THE SAME
CONVERSATION.
I'M PUSHY AND AGGRESSIVE, PUSHY
AND THAT'S BECAUSE I'M A WOMAN.
I'M A MOTHER, A GRANDMOTHER, AND
A PROSECUTOR.
>> Reporter: THE CHALLENGE THEY
FACE IN THE U.S. ARE ESPECIALLY
TOUGH FOR WOMEN ON THE RIGHT.
>> I'M CAROL O'BRIEN, AND I
APPROVE THIS MESSAGE.
>> I DO THINK THE REPUBLICAN
WOMEN ARE FACING A HARDER UPHILL
BATTLE AT THE PRIMARY LEVEL.
THERE'S A BIGGER HURDLE TO JUMP
AS A FEMALE TO GET THE MONEY
THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE A
VIABLE CANDIDATE, A GOOD
CANDIDATE AND YOU CAN DO THE
JOB.
MY POSITION IS LOOK AT MY RESUME
AND LOOK AT WHAT I'VE DONE.
>> I DON'T THINK --
>> Reporter: IT WAS THAT RESUME,
TOUGH PROSECUTOR, MILITARY
PARENT THAT ATTRACTED CAMPAIGN
MANAGER JAI CHABRIA.
>> YOU CAN'T BE A MALE WHITE
PARTY FOREVER.
HOWEVER, IT'S RIGHT NOW IN MY
OPINION STILL REALLY ON THE LIP
SERVICE SIDE RATHER THAN THE
ACTION SIDE.
>> Reporter: OF THE 107 WOMEN IN
THE U.S. CONGRESS, JUST 29 ARE
REPUBLICANS.
IT'S A DIVIDE THAT COULD GET
MUCH LARGER.
WITH THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY
INSPIRING LEFT LEANING WOMEN TO
RUN FOR OFFICE.
>> NOR DEMOCRATIC WOMEN DO TEND
TO RUN, AND THAT'S AMP UP THIS
YEAR.
>> Reporter: MICHELLE TEACHES
POLITICS AT GEORGETOWN
UNIVERSITY.
SHE SAYS LIKE SO MUCH IN U.S.
POLITICS, SUCCESS COMES DOWN TO
CASH.
SINCE 1985, THE ORGANIZATION
EMILY'S LIST HAS BEEN RAISING
MONEY FOR PRO-CHOICE DEMOCRATIC
FEMALE CANDIDATES.
THE NAME EMILY'S LIST ACTUALLY
STANDS FOR EARLY MONEY IS LIKE
YEAST.
THERE'S NOTHING SIMILAR ON THE
RIGHT.
>> THE DONORS IN THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY, THEY DON'T SEE GENDER.
THEY WANT COMMITMENT TO
CONSERVATIVE IDEOLOGY.
SO THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE
GENDER OF THE CANDIDATE.
THEY'RE NOT LIKELY TO BE
RESPONSIVE TO A DIVERSITY
ARGUMENT.
>> Reporter: THERE ARE STEPS TO
CHANGE THAT.
>> WE WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR
COMING TO THE LAUNCH OF THE --
OUR ORGANIZATION, WOMEN RUN.
>> Reporter: THIS IS A
FUNDRAISER FOR A NEW
ORGANIZATION SUPPORTING MODERATE
REPUBLICAN WOMEN.
>> THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS BEEN
SHRINKING AND HAS NOT BEEN ALL
THAT WELCOMING TO WOMEN AND
MINORITIES.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANTED TO
TRY TO ADDRESS.
>> Reporter: A COFOUNDER SAYS
ELECTING MORE WOMEN WILL HELP
CONGRESS GET PAST THE CURRENT
IDEOLOGICAL GRIDLOCK.
>> WOMEN TEND TO BE MORE
COLLABORATIVE AND THEY ARE
WILLING TO WORK ACROSS THE
AISLE.
WE'VE SEEN WITH THE WOMEN THAT
ARE ALREADY IN OFFICE, AND WE
WOULD LIKE TO BRING MORE OF THAT
SO THAT WE CAN HAVE OUR
GOVERNMENT WORKING AGAIN.
>> 1, 2, 3.
>> Reporter: THERE ARE ALSO
MOVEMENTS TO GET YOUNG
CONSERVATIVE WOMEN INVOLVED IN
POLITICS.
AT THE ANNUAL FAR RIGHT FESTIVAL
THAT IS THE C PACK CONFERENCE,
ONE PINK BOOTH STANDS OUT IN ALL
THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE.
>> OUT OF 100 WOMEN --
>> Reporter: KAREN STARTED THE
NETWORK OF ENLIGHTENED WOMEN
WITH UNIVERSITY CHAPTERS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY.
>> IT'S DISCOURAGING TO BE A
CONSERVATIVE YOUNG WOMAN.
THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT FOR
GROUPS LIKE OURS TO EXIST.
WE'RE REALLY EMPOWERING WOMEN TO
SPEAK OUT AND BECOME LEADERS.
>> Reporter: SHE SAYS
STEREOTYPES OF WHITE LEANING
WOMEN DON'T HELP.
AFTER COVERING ONE OF HER
MEETINGS, A CAMPUS MAG SCENE PUT
AN UNFLATTERING IMAGE ON THE
COVER.
>> THIS IS A WOMAN WHO WAS
BAKING COOKIES AND HAD A MACHINE
CONNECTED TO HER MID SECTION
POPPING OUT NINE BABIES.
TO THEM, THAT'S WHAT A
CONSERVATIVE WOMAN WAS.
THAT'S A STEREOTYPE WE HAVE TO
FIGHT AGAINST.
>> WOMEN HAVE TO DO --
>> Reporter: FOR CAROL O'BRIEN,
DECIDING TO RUN MEANT GETTING
OVER BARRIERS IN HER OWN MIND.
>> I ALWAYS TOLD PEOPLE WHEN I
WAS YOUNGER I WOULD NEVER RUN
FOR OFFICE BECAUSE EVERY PERSON
DIDN'T VOTE FOR YOU WAS LIKE
A -- SOMEONE NOT LIKING YOU.
I'VE GOTTEN PAST THAT.

LYNDSAY DUNCOMBE, CBC NEWS,
DELAWARE, OHIO.
>>> TODAY IS THE UN'S WORLD
PRESS FREEDOM DAY.
KEEPING POWER IN CHECK.
YOU MIGHT THINK IN CANADA PRESS
FREEDOM ISN'T A PROBLEM, BUT
ACCORDING TO THE REPORTERS
WITHOUT BORDERS.
PRESS FREEDOM, CANADA DOESN'T
CRACK THE TOP TEN.
THIS COUNTRY IS RANKED 18th
BEHIND MANY EUROPEAN COUNTRIES.
A REMINDER THAT WHEN IT COMES TO
DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS, THERE
IS JUST NO PLACE FOR
COMPLACENCY.
>> I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT I
HAD BEEN THE OBJECT OF
SURVEILLANCE.
>> THE ONLY WORD I HAVE IS
DISGUSTING.
>> IN SOME WAYS, THERE'S
PROGRESS.
FOR EXAMPLE, AFTER IT WAS
REVEALED THAT QUEBEC POLICE HAD
BEEN MONITORING 8 JOURNALIST, AN
INQUIRY CONCLUDED MORE NEEDED TO
BE DONE TO PROTECT THEM AND
THEIR SOURCES.
ALSO LAST YEAR, OTTAWA PASSED
CANADA'S FIRST PRESS SHIELD LAW
PROTECTING THE ANONYMITY OF
SOURCES.
THE SUPERIOR COURT IS LOOKING AT
A CASE.
>> WE TRUST SOURCES WE WON'T
GIVE UP INFORMATION TO THE
POLICE, AND IT'S NOT JUST
TERRORISTS.
IT'S WHISTLEBLOWERS.
>> Reporter: IN 2016, JUSTIN
BRIG THEN WITH THE INDEPENDENT
COVERED AN INDIGENOUS PROTEST
AGAINST NEW BRUNSWICK AND
LABRADOR'S MUSKRAT FALLS DAM.
IT BROUGHT NATIONAL ATTENTION TO
ANOTHER SIDE OF THE DEBATE OVER
THE PROJECT, BUT IT BROUGHT HIM
CIVIL AND CRIMINAL CHARGES THAT
HE'S STILL FIGHTING.
THEN THERE'S ACCESS TO
INFORMATION, THE SYSTEM THAT
ALLOWS THE PUBLIC TO GET AHOLD
OF GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS.
ACCORDING TO C BC, AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL, THE SYSTEM IS
OVER.
>> IT'S IN A TERRIBLE STATE.
I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 30
YEARS AND I'VE NEVER SEEN IT SO
BAD, THE DELAYS IN THE SYSTEM,
THE NUMBER OF BLACKED OUT
DOCUMENTS.
>> WITHOUT THE DOCUMENTS TO
UNCOVER, WHAT GOES ON BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS, HOW DOES THE
PUBLIC KEEP POWER IN CHECK?
SOMETHING TO THINK A
>>> 12 ACRES ON TORONTO'S
WATERFRONT COULD BE A WINDOW TO
THE FUTURE IF DEVELOPERS HAVE
THEIR WAY.
SIDEWALK LABS WHICH IS OWNED BY
ALPHABET WANTS TO TRANSFORM AN
EMPTY INDUSTRIAL AREA INTO A
CONNECTED NEIGHBOURHOOD SHALL A
SHOW PIECE FOR WHAT TECHNOLOGY
TO DO IN AN URBAN SETTLING.
THE DETAILS ARE UNDER WRAPS, BUT
WITHOUT AWE DOUBT, IT WOULD BE
BUILT ON DATA AND LOTS OF IT.
CAMERAS COULD BE USED TO TRIGGER
ADAPTIVE TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND
CROSSWALKS.
SENSORS COULD GAUGE AND CANS
NEED EMPTYING.
EVEN WEATHER MONITORS COULD TURN
STREET LAMPS ON AND OFF.
BUT AS WE LEARN, ANY TALK ABOUT
DATA COLLECTION LEADS TO TALK
ABOUT PRIVACY AND WHETHER THE
CONCEPT OF A SMART CITY GOES TOO
FAR.
>> Reporter: A FEW BLOCKS NORTH
OF THE PROPOSED SMART CITY SITE,
A PUBLIC CONSULTATION.
>> I THINK ONE HAS TO REALLY
UNDERSTAND THE EXTENT WHICH
PRIVACY WILL BE PROTECTED.
>> Reporter: WHO OWNS THE DATA
COLLECTED FROM RESIDENTS AND
VISITORS?
EVEN WHICH COUNTRY IT WILL BE
STORED IN IS UNCLEAR.
>> WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IF WE
WANT TO COLLECT DATA.
ALL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW IS
MID GATING THE IMPACTS OF IT
BEING COLLECTED.
>> Reporter: THERE ARE CONCERNS
THAT CURRENT REGULATIONS AREN'T
READY FOR PROJECTS LIKE THIS.
>> OUR POLE SIGNIFICANCES --
POLICIES AND LAWS AREN'T SET UP
TO MANAGE THE SMART CITY IDEAS.
>> THIS L SHAPED PIECE OF LAND
AROUND HERE.
>> Reporter: THE PROPOSED SITE
IS RELATIVELY SMALL, BUT ITS
POTENTIAL TO INFLUENCE
DEVELOPMENT ELSEWHERE IS HUGE.
>> THE PURPOSE OF KEY SIDE AND I
THINK WATERFRONT TORONTO SET
THIS OUT AS AN OBJECTIVE, IS
THAT IT WOULD BE AN EXPERIMENT.
>> Reporter: THAT HEIGHTENS THE
NEED TO GET DECISIONS
PARTICULARLY AROUND DATA RIGHT.
>> WE'VE KNOWN ALL ALONG THAT
UNDERSTANDING HOW PEOPLE WOULD
BE COMFORTABLE, THAT DATA IS
BEING COLLECTED ONLY FOR A
SPECIFIC PURPOSE, NOT ON A
WILD-GOOSE CHASE IN THE HOPES
IT'S VALUABLE.
THAT WAS GOING TO BE A TOP LEVEL
CONCERN.
>> Reporter: SIDEWALK LABS
COMPLETE PROPOSAL IS EXPECTED BY
THE END OF THE YEAR, BUT THERE'S
NO GUARANTEE IT WILL BE
ACCEPTED.
>> CAN WE WRESTLE THESE POLICY
QUESTIONS TO THE GROUND IN A WAY
THAT IS SATISFACTORY TO THE
CITIZENS OF TORONTO AND
SATISFACTORY TO THE GOVERNMENT?
I BELIEVE WE CAN DO IT, BUT
THAT'S -- IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN.
>> Reporter: WELL, THE
TECHNOLOGY IS EXPECTED TO BE
AMBITIOUS, MAKING IT A REALITY
THAT THE COMPANY, THE CITIZENS,
AND ALL THREE LEVELS OF
GOVERNMENT CAN AGREE ON WILL BE
THE PROJECT'S GREATEST
CHALLENGE.

"THE NATIONAL," A GOAL FOR THE
PREDATORS AT BELL M.T.S. PLACE.
THEY'RE AHEAD OF THE JETS 1-0 IN
THE SECOND PERIOD THIS IS GAME
FOUR OF THE SECOND ROUND OF THE
STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS.
IF THE JETS WIN THEY WOULD BE
AHEAD IN THE SERIES 3-1.
>> EXCHANGING WORDS AT
HALF-TIME, WILL SMITH AND JOSи
CALDERON LOOK TO BREAK IT UP.
>> Andrew: THAT COURTSIDE
TUSSLE AT THE RAPTORS GAME HAS
GIVEN DRAKE A WARNING.
THEY REACHED OUT ABOUT THE
RAPTORS' ALTERCASION WITH THE
CAVALIERS' PLAYER AND THEY WERE
GOING TO FOLLOW-UP DIRECTLY.
DRAKE WAS AT TONIGHT'S GAME AND
THERE WASN'T ANY TROUBLE.
TORONTO LOST THOUGH, THEY'RE

DIPLOMACY IS BRINGING NORTH AND
SOUTH KOREA TOGETHER.
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO COMPETE
EACH OTHER AT THE TENNIS WORLD

>> EVERYBODY WE HAVE AN
ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE.
THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA AND...
[indiscernible] HAVE DECIDED
TO NOT TO COMPETE AGAINST EACH
OTHER.
[Applause]
WE WILL HAVE A TIME TO NOT CALL
NORTH KOREA AND SOUTH KOREA BUT
UNIFIED KOREA.
>> Rosemary: OKAY, SO THE LAST
TIME THEY DID THIS, THEY PLAYED
PING PONG GAME TOGETHER WAS IN
1991.
THEY WON GOLD AT THE WORLD
CHAMPIONSHIPS AND THEY EVEN WENT
ON TO MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT IT
BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH AN
EXTRAORDINARY MOMENT.
>> Andrew: RIGHT AND, OF
COURSE, THE WHOLE THING BE IS
EVOCATIVE OF WHAT WE SAW MORE
RECENTLY THAN THAT, THE WINTER
OLYMPICS WITH PyeongChang
AND A UNIFIED WOMEN'S HOCKEY
TEAM.
THEY DIDN'T DO AS WELL, MIND
YOU, BUT THEY GOT THE WORLD'S
ATTENTION.

I MEAN IT'S NOT
DE-NUCLEARIZATION BUT IT'S
SOMETHING.
AND I GUESS THAT I'M JUST NOT
SURE WHERE THIS -- WHERE THIS
FITS BETWEEN MEANINGFUL GESTURE
AND STUNT BECAUSE WE'VE SEEN
THIS BEFORE.
BUT, YOU KNOW, THEN AGAIN, I
GUESS THAT THIS IS THE YEAR
WHERE STUNTS ARE LEADING TO SOME
CHANGES.

SOLVE WORLD PROBLEMS, ADRIENNE,
