>> NEW AMBITION FOR THE U.S.
PRESIDENT IN HIS WAR OF WORDS
AGAINST THE MEDIA AND THE F.B.I.
HOTLY ANTICIPATED REPORT TAKES
FORMER DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY TO
TASK.
BUT DOES IT ACTUALLY HELP DONALD
TRUMP?
ALSO TONIGHT, AFTER CBC NEWS
EXPOSED HIGH PRESSURE SALES
TACTICS FROM TELECOMS, TODAY THE
GOVERNMENT TOOK ACTION.
>> Rosemary: AND NAFTA
NEGOTIATIONS ARE BACK ON AFTER A
WILD WEEK OF TARIFFS TIT FOR
TAT.
WHAT STILL STANDS IN THE WAY OF
A DEAL AND PROBABLY MARK 2019 ON
THE CALENDAR.
HINT, IT'S ALL ABOUT ELECTIONS.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
>> DONALD TRUMP TURNED 72,
RECEIVED WHAT HE MIGHT CONSIDER
A BIRTHDAY GIFT.
INTERNAL INVESTIGATION BY THE
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
DELIVERED A REPORT THAT COULD
HELP HIM AGAINST A POLITICAL
FOE.
THE F.B.I. DIRECTOR HE FIRED
LAST YEAR, JAMES COMEY.
AS STEVEN EXPLAINS, THE REPORT
WAS SCATHING IN ITS JUDGMENT OF
HOW COMEY HANDLED THE F.B.I.
PROBE INTO FORMER PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE HILLARY CLINTON.
>> Reporter: TO SOME, JAMES
COMEY IS THE MAN WHO COST
HILLARY CLINTON THE PRESIDENCY.
TO OTHERS, COULD HELP BRING DOWN
DONALD TRUMP.
TODAY'S MUCH ANTICIPATED REPORT
INTO THE F.B.I. HILLARY CLINTON
EMAIL INVESTIGATION WAS SEEN AS
A POSSIBLE GOLD MINE OF
AMMUNITION FOR CRITICS IN BOTH
CAMPS.
>> I'M HERE TO GIVE YOU AN
UPDATE.
>> ANNOUNCEMENT CLINTON WOULD
NOT BE CHARGED FOR THE HANDLING
OF STATE DEPARTMENT EMAILS.
MICHAEL HOROWITZ FOUND COMEY WAS
INSUBORDINATE BUT NOT POLITICAL
MOTIVATED.
AND ALSO THAT COMEY'S REOPENING
OF THE INVESTIGATION DAYS BEFORE
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS A
SERIOUS ERROR IN JUDGMENT.
>> IF THIS WAS THE PRESIDENT'S
PLAN TO TAKE DOWN THE SPECIAL
COUNSEL, PRESIDENT TRUMP SWUNG
AND MISSED.
>> IT'S DEEPLY DISTURBING THAT
THE REPORT --
>> DEMOCRATS TRIED TO HEAD OFF
ANY REPUBLICAN EFFORTS TO USE
THE REPORT TO UNDERMINE THE
REPUTATION, AND BY EXTENSION,
THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION INTO
RUSSIAN ELECTION INTERFERENCE.
>> UNFORTUNATELY FOR THEM,
NOTHING IN THIS REPORT LAYS A
GLOVE ON SPECIAL COUNSMUELLER OR THE
RUSSIAN PROBE.
>> REAFFIRMED SUSPICIONS ABOUT
COMEY'S CONDUCT AND POLITICAL
BIAS OF SOME MEMBERS OF THE
F.B.I.
>> INCLUDES TWO AGENTS, REPORT
FOUND A NOW BIAS, NO DOUBT FUEL
MORE THEORIES.
TRUMP IS NEVER GOING TO BE
PRESIDENT, RIGHT?
RIGHT?
NO, NO, HE'S NOT.
WE'LL STOP IT.
MUELLER REMOVED THE AGENT WHO
WROTE THAT FROM HIS TEAM TEN
MONTHS AGO.
AND THE CURRENT F.B.I. DIRECTOR
SAYS PEOPLE WILL BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE.
>> NOTHING IN THIS REPORT
IMPUNES THE INTEGRITY OF OUR
WORK FORCE AS A WHOLE OR THE
F.B.I. AS AN INSTITUTION.
>> THAT IT SEEMS IS A MATTER OF
PERSPECTIVE.
BIG QUESTION EMERGING FROM THE
REPORT, WILL IT IMPACT JAMES
COMEY'S CREDIBILITY IN THE EYES
OF THE PUBLIC, AND ANY ROLE HE
PLAYS WHEN THE SPECIAL COUNSEL
FINISHES ITS WORK.
CBC NEWS, WASHINGTON.
>> Ian: SOME PEOPLE WORKED ON
BOTH PROBES, NO CLEAR LINK
BETWEEN COMEY'S CONDUCT WITH
HILLARY CLINTON AND THE SPECIAL
COUNSEL INVESTIGATION OF THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN, BUT TRUMP
SUPPORTERS MAY BE KEEN TO MAKE
THAT LINK IF THE PAST YEAR IS
ANY GUIDE.
>> JAMES.
HE'S BECOME MORE FAMOUS THAN ME.
>> TRUMP'S DEFENCES AGAINST
ALLEGATIONS OF OBSTRUCTING
JUSTICE HINGE ON DISCREDITING
COMEY.
THE FORMER F.B.I. DIRECTOR
VERSION OF EVENTS PRESENT A
PROBLEM.
>> I WAS FIRED IN SOME WAY TO
CHANGE OR THE ENDEAVOUR WAS T
CHANGE THE WAY THE RUSSIA
INVESTIGATION WAS BEING
CONDUCTED.
>> ON THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION
ITSELF, TRUMP STRATEGY HAS BEEN
PRETTY CLEAR.
>> THE ENTIRE THING HAS BEEN A
WITCH HUNT.
>> PHONY WITCH HUNT GOING
AGAINST ME.
>> IT'S A DEMOCRAT HOAX.
>> HOAX.
>> HOAX.
>> WE ARE UNDER SIEGE.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT.
>> FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, TRUMP
AND HIS SUPPORTERS HAVE TRIED TO
PAINT THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION
AS A DEEP STATE OUT TO GET HIM.
FOR TRUMP, APPEARS UNDERMINING
CONFIDENCE IN MUELLER IS
CRITICAL.
PRESSURE ON HIS FORMER CAMPAIGN
MANAGER PAUL MANAFORT AND HIS
LAWYER MICHAEL COHEN SEEM TO
MOUNT BY THE WEEK.
FOR TRUMP'S LEGAL TEAM, THE
WORRY COULD BE THEY TURN
WITNESS.
JUST LIKE A HOST OF OTHER FORMER
TRUMP AIDES.
THE STRATEGY DOES APPEAR TO BE
WORKING.
A RECENT POLL SHOWED SUSPICION
OF MUELLER HAS RISEN SINCE LAST
JULY.
AMONG REPUBLICANS, THE CRUCIAL
GROUP FOR TRUMP HAS SKYROCKETED
FROM 27 TO 53%.
AND MIDTERM ELECTIONS IN THE
FALL AND MUELLER WILL HAVE TO
PRESENT FINDINGS OR WAIT UNTIL
AFTER THE VOTE.
AS THE INSPECTOR GENERAL MADE
CLEAR TODAY, IT DOES NOT MIX.
LEGAL TROUBLES DO NOT END WITH
ROBERT MUELLER.
TRUMP AND HIS CHARITABLE
FOUNDATION ARE BEING SUED BY NEW
YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL.
TODAY SHE ACCUSED HIM OF
ILLEGALLY USING THE TRUMP
FOUNDATION FOR BUSINESS VENTURES
AND LEGAL BILLS, AND OF USING
HIS CHARITY TO SUPPORT HIS
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
ON TWITTER, TRUMP CALLED THE
CASE RIDICULOUS AND SAID HE WILL
NOT SETTLE.
WHAT ELSE WE ARE TRACKING,
THOUSANDS OF FANS FROM AROUND
THE WORLD ARE CELEBRATING DAY
ONE OF SOCCER'S WORLD CUP.
HOST COUNTRY RUSSIA IS HOPING IT
WILL BOOST ITS INTERNATIONAL
IMAGE.
>> VANCOUVER IS GETTING SET TO
REGULATE SHORT-TERM RENTAL AND
AIRBNB SAYS IT WILL HELP ENFORCE
THE REGULATIONS.
WILL IT WORK?
>> Rosemary: BUT FIRST, CHRYSTIA
FREELAND HOLDS FACE-TO-FACE
TALKS WITH THE U.S. TOP OFFICIAL
ON TRADE.
AND THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN
AFFAIRS SAYS THE MEETING WITH
ROBERT LIGHTHIZER TODAY WAS
PRODUCTIVE.
STILL, AS KATIE SIMPSON TELLS
US, OTHER TRADE THREATS STILL
LOOM.
>> Reporter: COOLER HEADS SEEM
TO PREVAIL IN WASHINGTON.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS MINISTER SAYS
AFTER AN HOUR-LONG MEETING WITH
HER U.S. COUNTERPART, BTH AGREED
TO KEEP THE LINES OF
COMMUNICATION OPEN.
>> NAFTA TALKS CONTINUE AND THAT
WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A REAL PUSH
OVER THE SUMMER.
>> Reporter: THE PLEDGE IS LIGHT
ON SPECIFICS, APPEARS A MORE
POSITIVE TONE IS RETURNING TO
THE TRADE NEGOTIATION.
>> SAY WHAT I SAID YESTERDAY,
THE DAY BEFORE.
>> Reporter: FREELAND LEFT ONE
HIGH PROFILE MEETING WITH
ANOTHER, SITTING DOWN WITH
PREMIER-DESIGNATE.
SHOW OF UNITY.
>> WORKING HAND IN HAND TO MAKE
SURE WE NEGOTIATE THE TRADE DEAL
AND MAKE SURE WE ARE SUCCESSFUL
AT THAT.
>> Reporter: COOPERATION IS
WELCOMED BY OTTAWA, AFTER A
DIFFICULT WEEK FOR CANADA-U.S.
RELATIONS.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP CALLED
PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU
DISHONEST AND WEAK, BECAUSE
TRUDEAU SAID CANADA WOULD NOT BE
PUSHED AROUND BY THE U.S. ON
TRADE.
>> HE LEARNED, THAT'S GOING TO
COST A LOT OF MONEY FOR THE
PEOPLE OF CANADA.
HE LEARNED.
YOU CAN'T DO THAT, YOU CAN'T DO
THAT.
>> Reporter: FEARS TENSIONS
COULD GROW WORSE IF TRUMP
FOLLOWS THROUGH ON HIS THREAT TO
IMPOSE NEW TARIFFS ON IMPORTED
VEHICLES.
>> I THINK YOU SHOULD ALWAYS
TAKE DONALD TRUMP SERIOUSLY WHEN
HE SAYS HE MAY DO SOMETHING AND
THOSE WHO THOUGHT HE WAS NOT
GOING TO DO WHAT HE SAID HE WAS
GOING TO DO FINDS OUT HE DOES
IT.
>> Reporter: CANADIANS MAY BE
UNITED IN OPPOSITION TO TRUMP'S
ACTIONS, THERE APPEARS TO BE
LESS CONSENSUS AMONG AMERICAN
VOTERS.
>> HE CROSSED A LINE AS BROAD AS
ANY BORDER WALL HE WOULD EVER
CONCEIVE OF WASTING OUR MONEY
ON.
BUT I HOPE NO ONE IN CANADA
THINKS THERE ARE PEOPLE IN
AMERICA WHO BELIEVE WHAT HE
SAID.
>> I THINK IT'S TIME FOR THE
UNITED STATES TO GET THEIR FAIR
SHARE OF TRADE.
HE'S JUST ASKING FOR IT TO BE
FAIR, HE'S NOT ASKING TO BE
RIPPED OFF ANYMORE AND THAT'S
PART OF MAKING AMERICA FIRST.
>> Rosemary: KATIE SIMPSON HAS
BEEN CAMPED OUT IN WASHINGTON
AGAIN.
CHRYSTIA FREELAND SAYS NAFTA
NEGOTIATORS ARE GOING TO TRY AND
PUSH THROUGH SUMMER.
CAN THEY ACTUALLY MAKE SOME
PROGRESS?
AN
>> Reporter: TWO ISSUES HERE,
ROSY, ALL SIDES ARE PRETTY
ENTRENCHED IN THEIR POSITIONS,
WON'T BE MUCH PROGRESS UNTIL
SOMEONE IS READY TO BLINK.
TALKS WILL HAVE TO BE PUT ON
HOLD FOR THE MEXICAN FEDERAL
ELECTION ON JULY 4TH.
AND PAUSE FOR THE MIDTERM
ELECTIONS, LIKELY THIS ISSUE
WILL DRAG INTO NEXT YEAR.
OF COURSE, 2019 IS AN ELECTION
YEAR IN CANADA, THAT COULD BE
PROBLEMATIC, TOO.
>> Rosemary: YES, OR VERY
INTERESTING.
CANADA IS FACING MORE TRADE
UNCERTAINTY, THIS TIME FROM
ITALY.
THE NEW AGRICULTURAL MINISTER
SAID THE COUNTRY WILL NOT RATIFY
CETA BECAUSE IT CONTAINS TOO FEW
FOR ITALIAN PRODUCTS.
>> WE HAD A GOOD CONVERSATION
ABOUT CETA WITH THE PRIME
MINISTER OF ITALY AT CHARLEVOIX,
AND LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING
THAT.
>> Rosemary: TARIFFS ON A LARGE
NUMBER OF GOODS HAVE ALREADY
BEEN LIFTED.
BUT ALL 28 E.U. MEMBERS MUST
RATIFY THE DEAL TO TAKE FULL
EFFECT.
MUCH MORE AHEAD ON THE TRADE
WAR.
LOTS TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT, I'VE
BEEN WAITING ALL WEEK FOR IT.
"AT ISSUE" IS HERE, ANDREW,
CHANTAL AND PAUL.
>> Andrew: HEATED MOMENTS IN THE
WHITE HOUSE, SEPARATING MIGRANT
CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS.
>> IF DEMOCRATS LIKE TO GET
SERIOUS ABOUT IT INSTEAD OF
PLAYING POLITICAL GAMES THEY ARE
WELCOME TO COME HERE AND SIT
DOWN WITH THE PRESIDENT AND DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
>> COME ON, SARAH, YOU ARE A
PARENT.
DON'T YOU HAVE ANY EMPATHY WHAT
THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH?
>> Andrew: A TEXAS WALMART
TRANSFORMED INTO A DETENTION
CENTRE FOR YOUNG MIGRANTS, SOME
NOT EVEN TEENAGERS, BUT ALL
CAUGHT IN A TOUGH CRACKDOWN BY
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
AND AS PAUL HUNTER SHOWS US, ALL
FACING AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE.
>> Reporter: NUMBERS GROW AND
GROW, UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTS
ARRIVING IN THE U.S. ALONG THE
SOUTHERN BORDER.
88 OF THEM WERE FOUND HIDDEN IN
A TRUCK NORTH OF BROWNSVILLE,
TEXAS.
THIS WEEK IN SAN ANTONIO, MORE
THAN 50 IN THIS TRUCK.
AND SO-CALLED STASH HOUSE,
ANOTHER 62.
THE MONTHLY COUNT ALONG THE
BORDER GETS INTO THE MANY
THOUSANDS.
BUT WHAT'S NEW IS WHAT'S
HAPPENING ONCE THEY ARE CAUGHT.
INDEED, AS DEMONSTRATORS IN
WASHINGTON UNDERLINE ANGRY
PROTEST, FAMILIES WERE TORN
APART.
>> CHILDREN, BABIES ARE BEING
RIPPED AWAY FROM THEIR MOTHER'S
ARM.
>> UNDER A DIRECTIVE BY THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
ALL MIGRANTS NOW FACE
PROSECUTION CROSSING ILLEGALLY,
LIKE ADULTS WAITING TRIAL FOR
ANY CRIME, THEIR CHILDREN ARE
PUT IN CUSTODY.
IN TEXAS, COURTROOMS ARE PACKED
WITH MIGRANTS.
HORROR STORIES ABOUND.
>> ONE OF THE WOMEN I
INTERVIEWED TODAY TOLD ME THAT
SHE WAS BREASTFEEDING HER
DAUGHTER WHEN THE GOVERNMENT
TOOK HER DAUGHTER FROM HER.
AND WHEN SHE RESISTED, THEY PUT
HANDCUFFS ON HER.
>> AUTHORITIES SAY SUCH
ALLEGATIONS ARE UNSUBSTANTIATED,
HAVE MEANWHILE SET UP SHELTERS
FOR DETAINED YOUNG MIGRANTS.
THESE IMAGES ARE OF THE LARGEST
SHELTER, A FORMER WALMART, NOW
KNOWN AS CASA PADRE, BOYS 10 TO
17.
SOME 1500 OF THEM.
>> I DON'T THINK IT REPRESENTS
THE VALUES OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
>> NO ONE HAS THE PERFECT
ANSWER.
THE U.S. SAYS THE NEW 0
TOLERANCE IS NEEDED TO DETER
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.
BUT THE MIGRANTS KEEP COMING.
PAUL HUNTER, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Andrew: CRITICS SAY 0
TOLERANCE IS TOO HARSH.
THAT DID NOT STOP THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL FROM USING THE BIBLE AS
JUSTIFICATION.
>> ILLEGAL ENTRY INTO THE UNITED
STATES IS A CRIME, IT SHOULD BE,
IT MUST BE.
AND I WOULD CITE YOU TO THE
APOSTLE PAUL AND HIS CLEAR AND
WISE COMMAND IN ROMANS 13 TO
OBEY THE LAWS OF THE GOVERNMENT
BECAUSE GOD HAS ORDAINED THE
GOVERNMENT.
>> Andrew: SESSIONS ADDED
AMERICANS WHO GO TO JAIL CANNOT
TAKE THEIR CHILDREN WITH THEM
AND MIGRANTS IN DETENTION
CENTRES SHOULDN'T EXPECT TO
EITHER.
>> Ian: 2018 FIFA WORLD CUP
KICKING OFF WITH A VICTORY FOR
THE HOME TEAM.
RUSSIA MAY BE ON THE VERGE OF A
BIGGER WIN OFF THE FIELD.
>> IF THEY AWARDED A TROPHY FOR
BEST FANS, PERU WOULD EASILY
HAVE WON IT IN MOSCOW TODAY.
FOR THE TEAM'S FIRST WORLD CUP
APPEARANCE IN MORE THAN THREE
DECADES, THEY WERE EVERYWHERE.
>> IT'S A NICE LLAMA.
>> THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
>> HOWEVER CONTROVERSIAL IT IS
TO HAVE RUSSIA AS WORLD CUP
HOST, FANS JUST ARRIVING SEEM
MORE SURPRISED THAN ANYTHING
ELSE.
>> SURPRISINGLY BEAUTIFUL.
>> MOSCOW HAS NEVER HAD SO MANY
FOREIGN VISITORS SHOW UP AT
ONCE.
>> I THINK IT'S GOING TO CHANGE
OUR MINDS AND THE MIND OF PEOPLE
FOR LIVING NOT IN RUSSIA.
>> FIFA SOLD OVER 2.5 MILLION
TICKETS FOR THIS WORLD CUP.
FOR FANS WHO DID NOT HAVE TO GET
ONE OF THEM, ALWAYS THIS, A
GIANT FAN ZONE AND ON DAY ONE IT
WAS PACKED.
>> AND RUSSIAN FANS DID NOT GO
HOME DISAPPOINTED.
THEIR TEAM CLOBBERED SAUDI
ARABIA 5-0.
PHOTOGRAPHERS CAUGHT VLADIMIR
PUTIN ENTERTAINING THE SAUDI
CROWN PRINCE.
LEADERS OF PRACTICALLY EVERY
WESTERN COUNTRY STAYED AWAY.
THE TOURNAMENT IS ALREADY AN
ORGANISATIONAL SUCCESS FOR PUTIN
AND SHAPING UP TO BE A POLITICAL
WIN, TOO.
>> DESPITE SANCTIONS, DESPITE
THE ATTEMPTS TO ISOLATE OUR
COUNTRY FROM THE REST OF THE
WORLD, LOOK, WE HOST A MAJOR,
MAJOR EVENT.
>> HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS ARE
ENCOURAGING FANS TO BOYCOTT THE
EVENT.
OUTSIDE THE KREMLIN TODAY.
>> PROSECUTION OF LGBT RUSSIANS.
AN BRITISH GAY RIGHTS CAMPAIGNER
PROTESTED A RUSSIAN LAW THAT
PROHIBITS ANYTHING TO DO WITH
HOMOSEXUALITY.
HE WAS QUICKLY ARRESTED.
BY AND LARGE, MOST WHO COME TO
MOSCOW SEEM FAR LESS INTERESTED
IN RUSSIAN POLITICS, AND MORE
ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT WATCHING THE
GAME THEY LOVE.
CHRIS BROWN, CBC NEWS, MOSCOW.
>> STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL," DRAKE GOES BACK IN
TIME TO THE ROLE THAT FIRST MADE
HIM FAMOUS.
YEAH, DEGRASSI FANS, HE'S
PUTTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER.
>> REGULATE SHORT-TERM RENTALS
SUCH AS AIRBNB, CAN IT WORK?
AND ONE YEAR SINCE THE GRENFELL
TOWER FIRE.
FOR THOSE WHO SURVIVED, THE
MEMORIES OF WHAT HAPPENED ARE
STILL FRESH.
>> I CAN ACTUALLY SEE PEOPLE
BEHIND THOSE WINDOWS.
DYING, TRYING TO GET OUT.
>> WE ARE LIVE ON "THE NATIONAL"
TRACKING A DEVELOPING STORY IN
TORONTO.
A BROAD DAYLIGHT SHOOTING OF TWO
GIRLS AT A PLAYGROUND.
TORONTO POLICE SAY THE TWO
SISTERS, AGES 5 AND 9, ARE NOW
BOTH IN STABLE CONDITION.
BUT BOTH NEEDED IMMEDIATE
SURGERY.
HERE IS TORONTO'S POLICE CHIEF.
>> OBVIOUSLY THESE TWO YOUNG
GIRLS WERE NOT INTENDED TARGETS.
SOME COWARDS CAME INTO THE
NEIGHBOURHOOD AND OPENED FIRE
INTO A PLAYGROUND.
>> POLICE ARE LOOKING FOR TWO
SUSPECTS.
A DRIVER AND SHOOTER, AND
DESPITE THEM ON THE LOOSE, THEY
DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS ANY
FURTHER THREAT TO THE PUBLIC AT
THIS TIME.
AND AN UPDATE ON THE
INVESTIGATION INTO STOLEN BANKSY
ARTWORK IN TORONTO.
POLICE RELEASED THIS
SURVEILLANCE VIDEO FROM SUNDAY
MORNING OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE
THE THIEF BRAZENLY WALKING OFF
WITH THE PIECE.
TROLLEY HUNTERS IS WORTH ABOUT
$45,000.
WE ARE ALSO FOLLOWING A COUPLE
STORIES AFFECTING YOUR MONEY.
IN A MOMENT, WE'LL TELL YOU HOW
CANADIAN CITIES ARE TRYING TO
REGULATE SHORT-TERM RENTAL LIKE
AIRBNB.
BUT FIRST, IF YOU OR ANYONE YOU
KNOW HAS BEEN THE TARGET OF A
HARD SELL PHONE SERVICE, MESSAGE
IS FOR YOU.
>> CANADIANS ARE CONCERNED, WE
HAVE HEARD THEM CLOUD AND CLEAR,
WE ARE TAKING ACTION.
>> THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
ORDERED INQUIRY, MONTHS OF
STORIES FROM GO PUBLIC.
DOCUMENTING ALLEGATIONS OF
AGGRESSIVE AND MISLEADING SALES
PRACTISES.
BEHIND THE ACCUSATIONS WERE
CUSTOMERS, BUT ALSO TELECOM
EMPLOYEES WHO SAY THEY WERE
PRESSURED TO LIE TO HIT SALES
TARGETS AND NOW CANADA'S
REGULATOR, CRTC, DIRECTED TO
HOLD A PUBLIC INQUIRY.
JOINING US WITH MORE, THE
REPORTER BEHIND THOSE STORIES.
ERICA JOHNSON.
REMIND US OF WHAT YOU FOUND.
>> Reporter: WE WERE FIRST
CONTACTED BY A CUSTOMER SALES
REPRESENTATIVE INSIDE A BELL
CALL CENTRE, ANDREA, SHE WAS ON
STRESS LEAVE AND IT HAD TAKEN A
TOLL, SHE WAS EXPECTED TO MAKE A
SALE WITH EVERY CUSTOMER AND
PUSHING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ON
CUSTOMERS WHO DID NOT NEED THEM,
COULD NOT USE THEM, DID NOT
UNDERSTAND THEM.
CITED THE CASE OF A 90-YEAR-OLD
WOMAN WHO TOLD HER SHE WAS BLIND
AND RIZZO STILL FELT PRESSURED
TO SELL HER THE INTERNET.
>> IT'S BEEN A NONSTOP NIGHTMARE
FOR THEM.
AND NOT ONLY SPEAKING ON BEHALF
OF MYSELF, BUT EVERYONE ELSE.
IT'S NOT JUST ME.
>> Reporter: AFTER THAT STORY WE
HEARD FROM MORE THAN 200 OTHER
TELECOM EMPLOYEES, NOT JUST FROM
BELL AND ROGERS, BUT ALSO TELUS
AND SHAW SAYING THEY, TOO, HAD
SIMILAR SALES PRESSURES.
>> WHY A PUBLIC INQUIRY NOW.
CRTC SAID SEVERAL TIMES IT WAS
NOT NECESSARY.
>> Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT.
I SPOKE WITH THE MINISTER
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CRTC,
NAVDEEP BAINS, AND HE SAID THE
STORIES ARE VERY CONCERNING TO
HIM, HE WANTS A PUBLIC INQUIRY,
AND HE EXPECTS A FULL SLATE OF
RECOMMENDATIONS, AND BETTER
PROTECTING PEOPLE WHO ARE
VULNERABLE, HE WILL BE
IMPLEMENTING THE
RECOMMENDATIONS.
>> Andrew: AS FOR WHEN AND HOW
THE INVESTIGATION WILL UNFOLD,
NO DATE HAS BEEN SET BUT THERE
IS A DEADLINE.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WANTS BOTH
THE INQUIRY AND THE REPORT
FINISHED BY FEBRUARY 28, 2019.
>> Ian: THOUSANDS OF HOMEOWNERS
IN CANADA'S MOST EXPENSIVE
CITIES HAVE BLOCKED TO COMPANIES
LIKE AIRBNB TO MAKE EXTRA CASH.
SOME RELY ON THAT TO MAKE A SKY
HIGH MORTGAGE PAYMENT.
THE PROBLEM IS, SHORT-TERM
RENTALS CAN ADD TO LONG-TERM
SUPPLY.
TORONTO AND VANCOUVER CRACKING
DOWN.
>> THIS IS ONE OF THE TWO SUITES
THAT PAUL HAS ON HIS SCARBOROUGH
PROPERTY ON RENTS OUT ON AIRBNB.
>> SMALL KITCHENETTE WITH
CUPBOARDS, ALL THE UTENSILS.
>> LAST YEAR THE UNITS BROUGHT
IN ABOUT $50,000, INCOME HE SAYS
HE WOULD HAVE TO GIVE UP IF
TORONTO'S NEW SHORT-TERM RENTAL
RULES COME INTO EFFECT.
>> IT'S A BIG GAME CHANGER,
BECAUSE NOT HAVING ANY OTHER
INCOME AND WITHOUT THE ABILITY
TO CONTINUE DOING WHAT WE ARE
DOING, WE ARE FACED WITH SELLING
OUR HOUSE AND MOVING ELSEWHERE.
>> TORONTO'S REGULATIONS WERE
PASSED BY CITY COUNCIL LAST
YEAR.
BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING
APPEALED AT A PROVINCIAL
TRIBUNAL, THEY ARE CURRENTLY ON
HOLD.
IN VANCOUVER, SIMILAR RULES ARE
IN PLACE.
UNDER THE REGULATIONS, PEOPLE
NEED A LICENCE AND THEN ONLY
RENT OUT THE PROPERTY ON AIRBNB
IF IT'S THE PRIMARY RESIDENCE.
SO, YOU COULD LIST THE SPARE
BEDROOM OR ENTIRE HOUSE IF YOU
ARE GOING ON VACATION, BUT NOT
RENT OUT THE BASEMENT SUITE.
THE CITY HAS MORE THAN 6600
SHORT-TERM RENTAL LISTINGS AND
MANY ARE NOW UNDER SCRUTINY.
OFFICIALS HAVE INVESTIGATED 1500
POSTINGS SO FAR, AND BEGAN WITH
THE MOST AGREGIOUS.
>> 14 OPERATORS HAD MORE THAN
TEN LISTINGS, THAT WAS OUR
OBVIOUS FIRST PLACE TO START AND
THEN WORKED DOWN THE LIST.
>> AND THEY ARE GETTING SOME
HELP FROM SOCIAL MEDIA SLEUTHS,
PEOPLE POURING THROUGH THE
LISTINGS ON THEIR OWN.
EVEN POINTING OUT CASES WHERE
HOSTS ARE USING THE SAME LICENCE
NUMBER FOR MULTIPLE LISTINGS.
THOSE COMPLAINTS ARE ALSO UNDER
INVESTIGATION.
>> CITY HAS LAUNCHED A NEW
SHORT-TERM RENTAL PROGRAMME.
>> FOR THOSE PUSHING VANCOUVER
CITY COUNCIL TO REGULATE AIRBNB
RENTALS FOR YEARS, THEY WELCOME
THE CHANGES BUT BELIEVE THEY
DON'T GO FAR ENOUGH.
>> AIRBNB IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR
ENSURING THE ACCURACY OF THE
INFORMATION THAT THEY GET FROM
THE HOSTS.
THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR
REMOVING THE, ANY OFFENDING
LISTING.
>> THEY SAY IT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR
THE CITY TO FINE PEOPLE THAT
DON'T COMPLY WITH THE RULES.
THEY SHOULD BE HOLDING PLATFORMS
LIKE AIRBNB ACCOUNTABLE AS WELL.
PRIOR STEWART, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> ALTHOUGH AIRBNB WON'T BE
ENFORCING VANCOUVER'S NEW RULES,
IT WILL SHARE ITS INFORMATION
WITH CITY INSPECTORS.
AND STARTING AUGUST 31ST, THE
CITY SAYS ANYONE WHO DOESN'T
HAVE A LICENSE FOR THEIR LISTING
COULD BE FINED $1,000 A DAY.
>> AT ISSUE IS UP NEXT.
IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, WHY
DON'T YOU SUBSCRIBE COULD OUR
NEWSLETTER.
WE TAKE YOU INSIDE OUR
JOURNALISM AND HIGHLIGHT STORIES
YOU MAY HAVE MISSED.
TODAY, YEMEN'S GRINDING
THREE-YEAR CIVIL WAR NOW ENTERED
>> Rosemary: DO YOU THINK THE
RETALIATORY MEASURES MAKE SENSE?
>> YES, I DO.
SOMEBODY IN THIS BUSINESS,
SOMEBODY PUTS A TARIFF ON YOUR
PRODUCTS, YOU PUT A TARIFF ON
THEIRS.
NOW, HOW IT'S RECEIVED ON THE
OTHER SIDE IS SOMETHING ELSE.
BUT THAT'S LIFE.
>> I ACTUALLY LIKE JUSTIN.
I THINK HE'S GOOD.
I LIKE HIM.
BUT HE SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT.
THAT WAS A MISTAKE.
THAT'S GOING TO COST HIM A LOT
OF MONEY.
>> NO ONE WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS
LABOUR DISPUTE.
THE PRICE WILL BE PAID IN PART
BY AMERICAN CONSUMERS AND
BUSINESSES.
AND ALSO PAID BY THOSE WHO
BELIEVE THE RULE OF PAY SYSTEM
IS WORTH PRESERVING.
>> Rosemary: TARIFFS, A PRESS
CONFERENCE, NUMBER OF TWEETS AND
WAR OF WORDS.
FORMER PRIME MINISTER BRIAN
MULRONEY ON MONDAY, DONALD TRUMP
ON TUESDAY, AND CHRYSTIA
FREELAND YESTERDAY.
AND THE STABLE HAS BEEN ONE OF
THE MOST BILATERAL STABLE
FRIENDSHIPS IN THE WORLD, MAY
NOT BE SO MUCH ANYMORE.
IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES, "AT
ISSUE," CHANTAL AND ANDREW IN
TORONTO, AND PAUL HERE WITH ME
IN OTTAWA.
LET'S START WITH THE LATEST
COMMENT THAT WE SAW THERE, THIS
SPEECH GIVEN BY CHRYSTIA
FREELAND.
WE SHOWED A PIECE OF IT, BUT A
FASCINATING SPEECH TO LISTEN TO
AND TO READ BECAUSE IT SEEMED TO
ME, ANYWAY, TO GO IN THE
OPPOSITE DIRECTION MAYBE OF WHAT
THE GOVERNMENT HAD BEEN SAYING
IT WOULD DO, AND THAT IS PERHAPS
UPPING THE ANTE.
MAYBE I'M MISREADING IT.
CHANTAL, HOW DID YOU TAKE THOSE
COMMENTS LAST NIGHT?
>> I DID NOT TAKE THEM AS UPPING
THE ANTE FROM THE PRIME
MINISTER'S COMMENTS.
I TOOK THEM AS IN FRAMING THE
ISSUE IN A LARGER SENSE AND
LARGER CONTEXT OF JUST THIS WE
ARE GOING TO GO AFTER YOUR MILK
AND WE ARE GOING TO GO AFTER
YOUR STEEL ISSUE, AND TRYING TO
POSITION IT AS SOMETHING THAT
GOES BEYOND TRADE EXPERTS
FIGHTING EACH OTHER AND TWEETS
BY POLITICIANS.
>> Rosemary: PAUL, WHAT DID YOU
THINK OF IT?
>> ANOTHER DEMONSTRATION OF THE
TRUDEAU GOVERNMENT'S DECISION TO
CONTRAST WITH TRUMP, LIKE THE
DEMOCRATS USED TO SAY WHEN HE
GOES LOW, WE'LL GO HIGH.
WHEN HE GOES ERRATIC, THE
CANADIANS HAVE DECIDED TO GO
CONSISTENT.
SO, THEY HAVE ALREADY ANNOUNCED,
THEY HAVE ALREADY ANNOUNCED THE
SLATE OF POLICIES, THEY ARE
GOING TO PURSUE THE SLATE OF
POLICIES.
THE CANADIAN TARIFFS HAVE NOT
BEEN INTRODUCED YET, THEY'LL BE
INTRODUCED AND CANADA DAY AND
SO, AND AMERICAN IMPORTERS ARE
GOING TO START YELLING, YOU
KNOW, MID AFTERNOON OF JULY 1ST
AND THEN SEE WHETHER THE
PRESIDENT LISTENS TO THEM MORE
THAN CANADIAN OFFICIALS.
>> Rosemary: DEREK WAS ON "POWER
AND POLITICS" TODAY AND SAID YOU
ARE NOT GOING TO WIN WITH THE
MASTER OF DISTRACTION.
I'M WONDERING WHO IS LISTENING
AND DOES IT MATTER?
>> TWO AUDIENCES LISTENING, ONE,
THE POLITICAL PLAY AT HOME, AND
PARTLY ALSO TRYING TO REACH
NONTRUMP PEOPLE IN THE UNITED
STATES, TO INFLUENCE HIM, AND
WHAT WILL WORK, NOT WHAT FEELS
GOOD.
I KNOW THERE'S A MOOD IN THE
COUNTRY, HIT THEM AS HARD AS WE
CAN AND THE MOST NASTY THINGS WE
CAN, THAT WOULD FEEL GOOD.
IT'S QUESTIONABLE HOW MUCH GOOD
IT WOULD DO.
I REMAIN A SKEPTIC ABOUT THE
RETALIATORY TARIFFS BUT WE'LL
SEE.
A MIDDLE PATH AND SAY ON BOTH
SIDES, YOU ARE ALSO GETTING
PEOPLE TO SAY OH, HOW DARE THE
PRIME MINISTER EVEN SAY WHAT HE
SAID AFTER THE G7.
HOW DARE HE EVEN SAY, YOU KNOW,
WELL, WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE
PUSHED AROUND ON THIS.
STANDARD ISSUE RHETORIC BECAUSE
WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY
ANYTHING DEPENDING ON HOW TRUMP
REACTS.
WE CAN'T ALSO WALK AROUND IN
STOCKING FEET.
SOME KIND OF MIDDLE PATH WE ARE
NOT OFFENDING THEM BUT
PRESERVING A BIT OF NATIONAL
DIGNITY.
>> Rosemary: THE PRIME
MINISTER'S EXPLANATION, WAS OH,
THESE ARE JUST THINGS HE'S SAID
BEFORE, THE PRESIDENT SHOULD
HAVE KNOWN, AND WE HEARD THE
FALLOUT FROM THAT.
SO, I GUESS THE QUESTION THEN
CHANTAL, WHAT IS THE POINT IN
EVER RESPONDING IF WE NEVER KNOW
HOW SOMEONE WHO IS CLEARLY
BEHAVES ERRATICALLY MAY ACT?
>> WE, THE OTHER AUDIENCE NEEDS
TO KNOW WHERE THE GOVERNMENT IS.
UNTIL THE TWEETS CAME, NO ONE
THOUGHT THE PRIME MINISTER MADE
NEWS AT THAT NEWS CONFERENCE AND
HE WOULD HAVE MADE NEWS IF
SUDDENLY HIS ANSWER FROM THE
WEEK BEFORE HAD BECOME SOMETHING
ELSE AND THE NEXT QUESTION WOULD
BE HOW COME YOU CHANGED YOUR
TONE.
DID SOMETHING HAPPEN ON THE
ONE-ON-ONE MEETING.
AND THEN HE WOULD HAVE BEEN, IF
ANYTHING HAPPENED, GIVING
DETAILS ABOUT A PRIVATE
CONVERSATION WITH THE PRESIDENT
THAT MAY MORE MAY NOT BE SOLVING
ANYTHING.
THE OTHER POINT OF WHAT HAS
HAPPENED OVER THE PAST WEEK,
SEND THE MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO
ARE WATCHING IN THE U.S., AND
THERE ARE A LOT OF U.S. WHO ARE
CANADIAN WATCHERS, THE PRIME
MINISTER IS LARGELY CONSENSUS
GROUND.
I.E., CANADA'S POLITICAL CLASS.
IT MAY QUARREL WITH THIS OR THAT
IN THE APPROACH, IF BY AND LARGE
NOT SAYING JUSTIN TRUDEAU
MISHANDLED THIS AND WE NEED TO
DO THIS OR THAT, AND ON THE
TARIFFS, THE APPROVAL RATING FOR
THE RETALIATORY TARIFFS TELL YOU
THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO ASK AT
SOME POINT CANADIANS FOR COULD
BE SESSIONS AT THE NAFTA TABLE,
YOU HAVE TO CONVINCE THEM THAT
YOU FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT FOR
THEM.
>> YEAH.
THE INTERESTING THING THAT
CHRYSTIA FREELAND WAS SAYING
TODAY, SHE WAS TRYING TO
SEPARATE THE TARIFFS FROM NAFTA,
BECAUSE SHE DID COME OUT OF THE
MEETING TODAY WITH THE PROMISE
THAT NEGOTIATIONS FOR NAFTA
WOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE
SUMMER AND THE TARIFFS WERE SOME
MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY OVER
HERE.
I GET WHY SHE'S TRYING TO DO
THAT.
I'M NOT SURE I BUY THAT THEY ARE
NOT RELATED.
>> NO EVIDENCE THEY ARE
SEPARATED IN THE PRESIDENT'S
MIND, AND AT THE END OF
NEGOTIATION, IT GOES BACK TO THE
PRESIDENT.
THERE'S -- IT SEEMS PRETTY CLEAR
ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO THEY WERE
VERY CLOSE TO A DEAL AND THE
PRESIDENT DECIDED HE DID NOT
LIKE IT.
HIS OWN OFFICIALS, LIGHTHIZER
AND THE OTHERS, HAD TO RETREAT.
AND IS YOU KNOW, WE ARE HEADING
INTO THE KIND OF THE MADDENING
PERIOD OF THIS RELATIONSHIP
WHERE --
>> Rosemary: JUST HEADING INTO
IT NOW.
>> IT WAS JUST A FIELD OF CLOVER
UNTIL NOW, I'LL TELL YOU.
BECAUSE NOW THIS PRESIDENT WILL
SAY WHATEVER HE WANTS, AND WE
NOW KNOW FOR SURE THAT HIS
NEGOTIATORS HAVE NO AUTONOMOUS
POWER TO NEGOTIATE AS LONG AS I
DISAGREES, AND CANADIAN HAVE TO
BE EVEN KEEL AND RESPONSIBLE AND
NOW PAYING NO PERCEPTIBLE
DIVIDENDS.
>> MUCH LARGER STAKES THAN
NAFTA.
WHEN WE SEE THE TRUMP M.O. HERE,
THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT TARIFFS
OR NORTH AMERICAN TRADE, IT'S
HIS WHOLE VIEW AND
ADMINISTRATION VIEW OF
INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCE ALL
TOGETHER AND CLEAR HE'S ON A
MISSION TO BUST UP AS MANY AS HE
POSSIBLY CAN.
SO, WE ARE THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE
AT THIS POINT IN THAT AND ALL WE
CAN DO, WE THE GOVERNMENT, WE
THE COUNTRY, TRY AND I THINK
PLAY FOR TIME.
JUST TRY AND MITIGATE THE
DAMAGE, PREVENT THINGS FROM
BLOWING UP, BEING PREPARED FOR
EVEN THE BUST-UP OF NAFTA,
HOPEFULLY NOT, I DON'T THINK
THERE IS A WIN-WIN-WIN SITUATION
ANY TIME SOON.
>> Rosemary: OK.
ONLY FOUR MINUTES, I DON'T KNOW
HOW WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS,
SUPPLY MANAGEMENT AND MAKE ALL
THAT WORK IN FOUR MINUTES.
THIS IS AN INTERESTING EXAMPLE.
MAXIME BERNIER SAYING THINGS NOT
NEW OR SURPRISING AND AGAIN, I
THINK IT WAS STILL ON HIS
WEBSITE FROM BEFORE HIS VIEWS OF
SOME OF THE ISSUES AND SLAPPED
IN THE FACE AND KICKED OUT OF
THE SHADOW CABINET, PRESUMABLY
BECAUSE HE'S SPEAKING OUT
AGAINST SOME THINGS AND ALSO
CALLING INTO QUESTION AN ISSUE,
UP FOR DEBATE AS A POLICY ISSUE.
IS THIS JUST ABOUT ANDREW SCHEER
AND MAXIME BERNIER, ABOUT THE
ISSUE OF SUPPLY MANAGEMENTS, NO
LONGER ABLE TO SAY ANYTHING
CRITICAL BECAUSE WE ARE
NEGOTIATING --
>> IMAGINE IF MICHAEL CHONG
SHOWED UP TOMORROW WITH A LONG
EXCERPT IN THE GLOBE AND MAIL TO
SAY HOW HE LOST THE LEADERSHIP
BECAUSE SOME LOBBYIST WENT
BEHIND THE OTHERS, OIL LOBBIES
OR OTHER, AND THE CARBON TAX IS
THE ONLY WAY TO GO.
WHAT WOULD WE SAY?
WE WOULD SAY MICHAEL CHONG IS IN
THE SHADOW CABINET, THE PARTY
POLICY ON THIS IS CLEAR.
CRYSTAL CLEAR.
AND IS THIS DEBATE IS A DEBATE
THAT THE PARTY HAS TO HAVE AT
THE CONVENTION OR AT CAUCUS, BUT
YOU CANNOT HAVE SOMEONE IN A
SHADOW CABINET GOING AGAINST
WHAT THE LEADER HAS IDENTIFIED
AND CAMPAIGNED ON AS A CORE
POLICY AND ANDREW SCHEER DID
CAMPAIGN IN FAVOUR OF SUPPLY
MANAGEMENT.
THEY HAVE EMBRACED SUPPLY
MANAGEMENT.
USING IT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL
IN QUEBEC.
AND ON THAT BASIS, IT'S NOT JUST
THE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION ECH --
ISSUE, IT'S THE SOLIDARITY YOU
EXPECT FROM MEMBERS OF THE
SHADOW CABINET.
>> PIERRE TRUDEAU, JOHN TURNER,
BRIAN MULRONEY, JEAN CHRETIEN,
THEIR LEADERSHIPS WERE UNDONE BY
LIEUTENANTS IN THE OWN PARTY WHO
DECIDED THEY HAD ENOUGH OF THEM
BEING THE LEADER.
NO WONDER THE LEADERS ARE
PARANOID OF VOICES OF DISSENT
FROM WITHIN.
I'M SURPRISED MAX BERNIER IS
STILL PART OF THE CONSERVATIVE
CAUCUS.
I THINK THE LEADER WENT EASY ON
HIM.
>> I'M NOT AS PERSUADED AS THAT.
THE MEMBER OR THE SHADOW CABINET
MEMBER'S JOB ALWAYS TO DO WHAT'S
BEST FOR THE LEADER, MOST
CONVENIENT FOR THE LEADER.
I THINK IT MATTERS WHAT THE
TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, WHAT THE
ISSUE IS, AND WHETHER THE PARTY
IS TAKING A STAND IT CAN LIVE
WITH AND SUPPORT, WHETHER THE
PARTY BELIEVES IN THAT OR LARGE
SECTIONS DON'T.
IT MATTERS HOW THE LEADER DID IN
FACT GET INTO HIS JOB AND IT'S
NOT ILLEGAL TO POINT THAT OUT.
I THINK IT WAS -- I DON'T THINK
MAX WAS BEING QUITE AS OUT OF
OFF THE TERRITORY THEY WERE
CLAIMING HE HAD BEEN.
I THINK THEY WERE LOOKING FOR AN
EXCUSE TO KIND OF MAKE TROUBLE
BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO MOVE HIM
AWAY, AND THIS WAS A CONVENIENT
PRETEXT TO DO IT.
IF THEY HAD JUST IGNORED IT, I
DON'T THINK ANYBODY WOULD HAVE
KNOWN IT WAS ON HIS WEBSITE, THE
CHAPTER OF HIS BOOK.
>> Rosemary: 30 SECONDS,
CHANTAL, AN INDICATION BROADLY
THAT SUPPLY MANAGEMENT IS A
SACRED COW NOW, EVERYONE SEEMS
TO THINK IT IS, CAN'T TALK ABOUT
IT?
>> YOU CAN TALK ABOUT IT ALL YOU
WANT BUT'S SACRED COW FOR ANDREW
SCHEER, HE GOT ELECTED ON IT.
SO IF HE WERE TOMORROW TO SAY I
DON'T BELIEVE IN THIS ANYMORE,
HE WOULD BE THE NEW PETER MACKAY
TO SAY I WILL NEVER NEGOTIATE
WITH THE CONSERVATIVES TO BE THE
LEADER OF THE TORY PARTY AND
TURNED AROUND AND DID IT.
BUT HE DID IT ON AN ISSUE OF
SUBSTANCE.
FOR THE CONSERVATIVES, THERE IS
A SACRED COW UNTIL FURTHER
NOTICE.
>> AND THE REST OF US AS WELL,
WE'LL LEAVE IT THERE.
GOOD NEWS FOR ALL OF YOU WHO
LOVE POLITICS AS MUCH AS ALL OF
US DO.
"AT ISSUE" IS ALSO PODCAST.
THIS WEEK, ALL THREE MAJOR PARTY
LEADERS ARE HITTING THE
BY-ELECTION CAMPAIGN TRAIL IN
QUEBEC.
WHO WILL WIN AND WHY THE HECK
DOES IT MATTER.
cbcnews.ca/THE NATIONAL.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY TRANSITION
MORE SEAMLESSLY FROM CANADIAN
POLITICS THAN NEWS ABOUT DRAKE.
THE SUPERSTAR RAPPER DROPPED A
NEW VIDEO LAST NIGHT, ALREADY
LIT UP THE INTERNET, NOT LEAST
BECAUSE IT PUTS DRAKE BACK IN
THE ROLE THAT MADE HIM FAMOUS IN
THE FIRST PLACE, HISTORICAL
REVISION HERE AND THERE.
THE NEW VIDEO FOR "I'M UPSET"
ALL ABOUT DEGRASSI NOSTALGIA,
WITH DRAKE, A/K/A, JIMMY,
MAGICALLY CURED FROM THE
PARALYSIS THAT HAD HIM IN A
WHEELCHAIR THE FIVE SEASONS.
EVEN RICK, WHO SHOT HIM AND PUT
HIM IN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE,
EVERYBODY HATES RICK.
AND THE PRINCIPAL IS IN THERE,
SILENT BOB, SETTING A BAD
EXAMPLE.
>> OH, YEAH, OH, YEAH.
>> WEED IS NOT LEGAL YET, GUYS.
>> HALF A MILLION.
>> AND THEN IT GETS EVEN MORE
BANANAS.
ONCE AGAIN, DIRECTED BY TALENTED
CANADIAN KARINA EVANS, DID
"GOD'S PLAN," "I'M UPSET"
DROPPED LAST NIGHT, A
>> Ian: IT'S A RARE THING WHEN
THOUSANDS MARCH THROUGH CITY
STREETS AND BARELY MAKE A SOUND.
SO IT WAS IN LONDON TODAY, AS
MANY TOOK PART IN A SILENT MARCH
TO HONOUR THE 71 PEOPLE WHO DIED
IN LAST YEAR'S HORRIFIC FIRE AT
GRENFELL TOWER.
MANY ARE STILL HAUNTED BY THAT
NIGHT.
THOSE WHO LOST LOVED ONES AND
OTHERS WHO WILL NEVER FORGET
WHAT THEY SAW AND HEARD AS THEIR
HOMES BURNED.
MARGARET EVANS REVISITS GRENFELL
ONE YEAR LATER TO SEE WHAT HAS
CHANGED AND WHAT HASN'T.
>> IT WAS SMOKING FOR A LONG
TIME AS WELL.
IT'S LIKE DEAD BODY CONSUMING
ITSELF AND BURNING DOWN TO
DEATH, YOU KNOW.
>> THE SHADOWS CAST BY THE
GRENFELL FIRE HAVE NOT
DISSIPATED.
THEY CLOG THE CORNERS OF MEMORY
AND IN THE EYES OF THOSE WHO
WATCHED HELPLESSLY AS THE TOWER
BURNED AND THOSE WHO MADE IT
OUT.
>> MY SON CAME HOME AND SAID GET
THE HELL OUT OF THERE, GET OUT,
GET UP.
AND HE STARTED CRYING.
>> ANTONIO LIVED ON THE TENTH
FLOOR FOR 27 HAPPY YEARS.
THE SECOND TO THE LAST PERSON TO
BE RESCUED WHEN IT BURNED.
HIS SON, HE SAYS, LIFELINE TO
THE RESCUERS WHO WOULD
EVENTUALLY COME.
>> I WAS REASSURING HIM, THIS IS
NOT MY DAY, I HAVE SO MANY
THINGS TO DO AND SAY AND I WOULD
MAKE IT OUT ALIVE.
>> THOSE WHO DID LOSE LOVED ONES
EXIST IN A UNIVERSE OF IF
ONLIES.
GRIEF AND RAGE SEARING ITSELF ON
TO THE NATION'S PSYCHE AT A
PUBLIC INQUIRY.
>> I HAVE FLASHBACKS.
I KNOW THEY ARE JUST PICTURES IN
MY HEAD, BUT I CAN ACTUALLY SEE
PEOPLE BEHIND THOSE WINDOWS.
>> HE LOST HIS MOTHER, SISTER,
BROTHER-IN-LAW, AND THREE
NIECES.
>> I DON'T SEE THIS AS A
TRAGEDY.
I SEE IT AS AN ATROCITY.
BECAUSE ESSENTIALLY THERE IS
SEGREGATION BETWEEN THE RICH AND
THE POOR.
I THINK THEY CALL IT A POSTCARD
LOTTERY.
>> THE FIRE IS THOUGHT TO HAVE
SPREAD WITH SUCH TERRIFYING
SPEED BECAUSE OF THE ALUMINUM
CLADDING ATTACHED TO THE OUTSIDE
OF THE BUILDING IN 2016.
MANY GRENFELL RESIDENTS BELIEVE
THE COUNCIL CHOSE IT BECAUSE IT
WAS CHEAP.
THEY SAY THEIR SAFETY CONCERNS
WERE IGNORED FOR YEARS AND THE
CLADDING WAS MAINLY ABOUT HIDING
SOCIAL HOUSING CONSIDERED AN EYE
SORE IN ONE OF LONDON'S RICHEST
BOROUGHS.
>> WE WANT HERE A CERTAIN SORT
OF PEOPLE AND THEN WORKING CLASS
PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, YOU TRY TO
PUSH THEM A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT'S
TRUE.
>> THE GOVERNMENT HERE HAS
PLEDGED TO REPLACE THE CLADDING
ON 159 SOCIAL HOUSING ESTATES
THAT HAVE FAILED SAFETY TESTS.
THE SITUATION FOR PRIVATE SECTOR
RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IS
MURKIER.
RESIDENTS OF THIS BLOCK IN SOUTH
LONDON FOUND TO HAVE HAD SIMILAR
CLADDING TO GRENFELL'S WERE
ORIGINALLY TOLD BY MANAGERS THEY
WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ITS
REMOVAL.
>> SO ALL VERY NERVOUS AND IN
SHOCK.
>> HE AND OTHER RESIDENTS
PROTESTED, AFTER A BATTLE, THE
ORIGINAL BUILDERS AGREED TO PAY,
BUT THE WORK HAS NOT STARTED
YET.
HE SAYS DEREGULATION IN BRITAIN
IS PART OF THE PROBLEM.
>> GUNMAN FAILS TO GIVE CLEAR
DIRECTION AT HOW THE BUILDINGS
SHOULD BE BUILT AND WHAT THE
MATERIALS SHOULD BE USED.
>> THE TOWER THAT HAS STOOD LIKE
A TOMBSTONE ON THE LONDON
SKYLINE FOR SO LONG IS AGAIN
COVERED IN RECENT WEEKS.
THIS TIME, WITH WHITE PLASTIC
SHEETING AND THE GREEN COLOURED
SYMBOLIZING THE GRENFELL
COMMUNITY.
ANTONIO WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TO
SEE IT REMAIN UNCOVERED AS A
PERMANENT REMINDER.
EITHER WAY, HE SAYS, THE
SURVIVORS WILL HOLD THOSE TO
BLAME TO ACCOUNT.
>> IT IS OUR BATTLE, THIS IS OUR
AIM.
TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW, SUCH
A THING DOES NOT EVER HAPPEN
AGAIN.
>> THAT MUST BE THE LEGACY OF
THE DEAD, HE SAYS, THAT AND THE
EXTRAORDINARY UNITY OF PURPOSE
AND SENSE OF COMMUNITY THAT HAS
GROWN UP AROUND GRENFELL.
DESPITE THE SHADOWS, AND THE
PAIN.
MARGARET EVANS, CBC NEWS,
LONDON.
>> AS YOU SAW IN MARGARET'S
STORY, THE EMOTIONS ARE STILL
RAW FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.
INCLUDING TWO 13-YEAR-OLDS WHO
SURVIVED THE FIRE.
IN THE DAYS JUST AFTER, THEY
POURED THEIR PAIN INTO MUSIC.
THEY WROTE A BALLAD AND MADE A
VIDEO TO MARK THIS ANNIVERSARY.
* AND I WATCHED GRENFELL TOWER
BURN DOWN *
>> Andrew: WE REACHED OUT TO
THEM AND THEY TOLD US HOW THAT
PROCESS HAS HELPED THEM COPE AND
HONOUR THE FRIENDS THEY HAVE
LOST.
HAVE A LISTEN.
>> THE FIRE HAPPENED, HAD A LOT
OF EMOTION INSIDE US, THIS JUST
CAME OUT.
>> HELPED US WITH MUSIC AND JUST
GOT --
* I HEARD THEM SCREAM, AND I
WATCHED THEM SHOUT *
* I WATCHED GRENFELL TOWER BURN
DOWN *
>> WHEN WE ARE SINGING IT, WE
ARE PROUD BECAUSE WE FEEL LIKE
WE DO JUSTICE FOR OUR FRIENDS
NOW.
>> TONIGHT ON "THE NATIONAL,"
POLITICAL DRAMA IN CANADA'S
NORTH.
JUST HOURS AFTER NUNAVUT'S
LEGISLATURE VOTED TO OUST THEIR
SITTING PREMIER, A NEW ONE IS IN
PLACE.
JOE SAVIKATAAQ TAKES OVER FROM
PAUL QUASSA, ONLY ELECTED LAST
NOVEMBER BUT CRITICISM FOR HIS
LEADERSHIP STYLE.
THE FIRST TIME THE NUNAVUT
LEGISLATURE HAS REMOVED A
SITTING PREMIER.
>> Rosemary: NEW NUMBERS FROM
STATS CAN SHOW IN THE FIRST
QUARTER OF THIS YEAR, THE
POPULATION OF NUNAVUT GREW AT A
HIGHER RATE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE
IN THE COUNTRY.
AND OVERALL, CANADA IS GROWING
AT RECORD SPEED, POPULATION OF
MORE THAN 37 MILLION PEOPLE.
THE NEW NUMBERS SHOW IT TOOK
JUST TWO YEARS AND TWO MONTHS TO
ADD A MILLION PEOPLE, THE
SHORTEST PERIOD EVER, BY
COMPARISON IT TOOK 17 YEARS TO
ADD THE FIRST MILLION AFTER
CONFEDERATION.
AT THE END OF THE SECOND WORLD
WAR, 12 MILLION PEOPLE LIVED
HERE, BY CANADA'S 100th
BIRTHDAY, MORE THAN 20 MILLION.
OVERALL, CANADA ADDED
4.6 MILLION PEOPLE IN ITS FIRST
50 YEARS, ALMOST 17 MILLION IN
THE LAST 51.
MOST RECENTLY, IMMIGRATION LOOMS
LARGE IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF
THIS YEAR ALONE, NEW ARRIVALS
ACCOUNTED FOR 85% OF THE
POPULATION INCREASE.
MOST OF THEM SETTLING IN
CANADA'S BIGGEST CITIES.
>> MAY NOT RECOGNISE THE NAME
BUT REMEMBER HER STORY.
HELENE CAMPBELL WAS DIAGNOSED
WITH A FATAL LUNG DISEASE IN
2011 AND TURNED TO SOCIAL MEDIA
TO CREATE AWARENESS OF ORGAN
DONATION.
HER GOAL TO GET JUSTIN BIEBER TO
RETWEET HER AND IT WORKED.
NOT ONLY DID SHE GET THE RETWEET
AND MEET ELLEN DEGENERES, BUT
UNDERWENT A DOUBLE LUNG
TRANSPLANT IN 2012.
AND TODAY SHE RECEIVED THE KEY
TO THE CITY OF OTTAWA.
OUR MOMENT OF THE DAY.
>> I NEVER THOUGHT A GIRL LIKE
ME COULD ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING
LIKE THIS.
>> SUCH AN HONOUR FOR ME, THE
HIGHEST AWARD YOU CAN RECEIVE IN
OTTAWA.
THIS CITY IS INCREDIBLE.
I LOVE T GIVE BACK IN ANY WAY I
CAN FOR A COMMUNITY THAT GAVE SO
MUCH TO ME.
I THINK FOR ME WHAT I HAVE
ACCOMPLISHED IS THAT YOU TAKE
SOMETHING BROKEN AND MAKE IT
BEAUTIFUL, YOU KNOW, WHICH IS
KIND OF PARALLEL WITH MY STORY,
FACED WITH SOMETHING NOT SO
GREAT AND MAKING THE BEST OUT OF
IT AND ENCOURAGING ORGAN
DONATION.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE DELIGHTFUL
GIFT.
ALL LIVES ARE OF NEGATIVE PART
AND IF YOUR LIFE CONSISTS OF
ONLY HAPPINESS, I WOULD LIKE YOU
TO LEAVE RIGHT THERE.
THERE'S THE DOOR, IT'S LOCKED
BUT I HAVE THE KEY.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Ian: SO, SPIRITUALLY HER
STORY IS WONDERFUL, AND
MEDICALLY AS WELL.
WE JUST LEARNED SHE UNDERWENT A
SECOND DOUBLE LUNG TRANSPLANT
LAST YEAR, NOT UNUSUAL, LUNG
TRANSPLANTS ONLY TEND TO LAST A
FEW YEARS.
>> Rosemary: SHE HAS A COUPLE
JUSTIN FRIENDS, JUSTIN BIEBER
AND ANOTHER GUY, JUSTIN, THE
PRIME MINISTER.
>> Ian: A LOT TO CELEBRATE IN
THE STORY, BUT TRAGEDY IS
CONNECTED, THE HUMBOLDT TRAGEDY
AND THE SURGE OF PEOPLE WHO
SIGNED DONOR CARDS AFTER THAT,
TALKED ABOUT HOW GRATEFUL SHE
WAS.
AND BARRHAVEN, A YEAR NOW, A
STREET NAMED AFTER HER.
THAT IS "THE NATIONAL" FOR
THURSDAY, JUNE 14TH.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Rosemary: GOOD NIGHT.
