>> Adrienne: ON THIS FRIDAY
NIGHT, NEW QUESTIONS ABOUT GUNS
IN TORONTO AFTER A QUIET
NEIGHBOURHOOD EXPLODES IN
VIOLENCE AND TWO LITTLE GIRLS
ARE RUSHED TO HOSPITAL.
THE REACTION FROM THE ADULTS WHO
RAN TO HELP AND THE LOCAL KIDS,
NOW TOO SCARED TO COME OUT TO
PLAY.
PLUS, A LOOK AT GUNS AND HOW
THEY GET TO THE STREETS.
>> Andrew: ALSO TONIGHT, AT THE
END OF A LONG LEGAL BATTLE, A
CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY PLAN TO
OPEN A LAW SCHOOL MAY HAVE BEEN
DEALT A FATAL BLOW.
>> Rosemary: AND TRUMP'S
TELEVISION PERFORMANCE, FACT
CHECKING THE PRESIDENT FROM THE
F.B.I. TO NORTH KOREA, THIS IS
"THE NATIONAL".
>> Adrienne: AT LEAST ONCE A DAY
ON AVERAGE SOMEWHERE IN CANADA'S
LARGEST CITY, A GUNSHOT RINGS
OUT, BUT SOME ECHO LOUDER THAN
OTHERS.
AND IN TORONTO IN THE WEAK OF
YESTERDAY -- WAKE OF YESTERDAY'S
SHOOTING OF TWO CHILDREN, THERE
IS SHOCK AND OUTRAGE.
>> ASTONISHED DOESN'T BEGIN TO
DESCRIBE MY FEELINGS.
>> THESE INNOCENT TWO LITTLE
KIDS SHOT IN THE STREETS OF
TORONTO?
WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TOO.
>> 11 CHILDREN WERE PLAYING HERE
LATE IN THE AFTERNOON, WHEN
SHOTS HIT TWO SISTERS, 5 AND 9.
THEY'RE IN STABLE CONDITION.
THE POLICE HAVE FOUND THE
VEHICLE BELIEVED TO BE USED IN
THE CRIME AND THEY'RE STILL
LOOKING FOR A SHOOTER AND A
DRIVER.
PEOPLE WHO LIVE NEAR THE PARK
TRIED TO GO ABOUT THEIR NORMAL
LIVES TODAY, BUT AS SALIMAH
SHIVJI TELLS US, RESIDENTS ARE
STUNNED.
>> Reporter: A PLAYGROUND THAT
WOULD NORMALLY BE FULL OF KIDS,
TODAY SITS EERILY EMPTY, AS A
NEIGHBOURHOOD TRIES TO COPE.
>> BAM, BAM, BAM, LIKE EIGHT IN
A ROW.
LIKE A FIRE CRACKER.
>> Reporter: BUT IT WAS BULLETS
RIPPING THROUGH THE TINY PARK,
HITTING THE TWO YOUNG GIRLS.
FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS RUSHED TO
HELP.
>> THEY WERE USING NAPKINS,
NAPKINS TO STOP THE BLEEDING.
>> Reporter: THE SHOOTING LEFT
ITS MARK.
A PATH OF BULLET HOLES THROUGH
THIS FENCE TOWARD THE PARK.
TEN IN TOTAL.
A PAINFUL REMINDER TO THE
COMMUNITY THIS HAPPENED HERE IN
BROAD DAYLIGHT.
JUDY ROBINSON SAYS SHOCK DOESN'T
EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE WHAT SHE
IS FEELING.
>> YOU SEE A LOT OF KIDS IN THE
PLAYGROUND AND YOU EVEN THINK OF
DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
WHY WOULD YOU FIRE GUNS WHEN YOU
CLEARLY CAN SEE A LOT OF KIDS
THERE.
>> Reporter: SHE IS ANGRY AND
THE SHOOTERS ARE COWARD.
AN IDEA ECHOED ACROSS THE
STREETS.
>> IT MAKES YOU WONDER WHAT OUR
SOCIETY IS.
NOBODY HAS HONOUR.
THEY'RE CHILDREN.
THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRLS,
VERY LOVING, VERY HAPPY.
THEY JUST WANT TO BE KIDS, THEY
JUST WANT TO PLAY.
>> Reporter: SHE'S HELPING TAKE
CARE OF THE FAMILY'S OTHER
CHILDREN AND AT THEY GIRLS'
SCHOOL, MORE OFFERS OF SUPPORT.
>> I WENT OVER YESTERDAY TO SICK
KIDS HOSPITAL TO BE WITH THE
FAMILY AND SHOW OUR SCHOOL IS
BEHIND THEM 100%.
>> Reporter: TORONTO'S MAYOR
WALKED AROUND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
TODAY, WITH A REASSURING
MESSAGE.
>> THOSE WERE YOUR FRIENDS?
I HOPE YOU'RE FEELING OK.
POLICE ARE GOING TO KEEP YOU
SAFE.
THEY'RE GOING TO GET TO THE
BOTTOM OF THIS, OK?
>> Reporter: STILL, AS THE TWO
GIRLS RECOVER, MANY SAY THE
TRAUMA WILL LINGER IN A
NEIGHBOURHOOD THAT HASN'T SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.
>> Adrienne: LONG-TERM, THE RATE
OF GUN HOMICIDES IN CANADA HAS
BEEN ON A MARCH DOWNWARD, BUT
TORONTO HAS OCCASIONALLY BUCKED
THE TREND, DRAWING NATIONAL
ATTENTION.
TORONTO'S SUMMER OF 2005 BECAME
KNOWN AS THE SUMMER OF THE GUN.
>> I'VE WITNESSED SOME OF THE
VIOLENCE PERPETUATED BY THE
INDIVIDUALS OVER THE COURSE OF
THE SUMMER, I'M LESS AND LESS
SURPRISED TO THE LEVELS THEY
WILL DESCEND.
>> Adrienne: BY THE END OF THE
YEAR, 360 PEOPLE WERE SHOT, THE
LAST A TEENAGE GIRL, KILLED IN
THE MAIN SHOPPING DRAG ON BOXING
DAY.
>> WHATEVER WE SOW, WE SHALL
REAP.
>> Adrienne: GUN VIOLENCE WAS
SUDDENLY AN ISSUE.
>> YOU SHOULD LIVE WITHOUT FEAR
IN OUR CITIES.
>> Adrienne: MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
WERE POURED INTO A GUN CRIME
STRATEGY.
>> ANTI-GUNS AND GANG TASK FORCE
THAT PROVINCE HAS EVER SEEN.
>> Adrienne: THEN THE TIDES OF
GUN VIOLENCE RECEDED ONLY TO
ROAR BACK.
SINCE 2015, IT'S MADE 2005 LOOK
MILD.
359 VICTIMS IN 2005.
594 LAST YEAR.
A SIGNIFICANT JUMP.
AND IT CONTINUES.
SHOOTING INCIDENTS ARE UP 18%
FROM THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR.
SHOOTING DEATHS, UP 20%.
THE PAST SEVERAL WEEK IN TORONTO
IN PARTICULAR HAVE SEEN A FEVER
OF GUN VIOLENCE, EACH VICTIM A
STORY OFTEN LOST IN A FAMILIAR
TANGLE OF POLICE TAPE.
UNTIL THOSE VICTIMS ARE SO
YOUNG, THE CRIME SO BRAZEN, IT
SHOCKS US INTO RAISING
QUESTIONS.
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF
QUESTIONS.
AFTER YESTERDAY.
HOW EASY IS IT TO GET GUNS IN
CANADA?
AND WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?
THE ANSWERS DON'T ALWAYS LIE
SOUTH OF THE BORDER.
>> Reporter: FOR CANADA BORDER
SERVICES OFFICERS IT WAS QUITE
THE CATCH, 19 RESTRICTED
FIREARMS, INCLUDING SEVERAL
HANDGUNS HIDDEN IN THE DOOR
PANELS OF THIS VAN TRYING TO
CROSS INTO CANADA FROM THE U.S.
>> THESE GUNS WERE NOT JUST
SEIZED, THEY WERE PREVENTED FROM
OUR COMMUNITIES.
>> Reporter: SEIZURES LIKE THIS
HAVE LED TO THE POPULAR BELIEF
THAT MOST OF THE HANDGUNS USED
IN VIOLENT CRIMES ON CANADA'S
STREETS CAME FROM THE U.S.,
WHERE THEY ARE PLENTIFUL AND IN
SOME PLACES EASY TO OBTAIN.
>> WE HAVE TO BE CRITICAL OF
THIS IDEA OF THE GUN SMUGGLER
COMING ACROSS THE BORDER.
>> Reporter: THIS SOCIOLOGIST
SAYS A RECENT RCMP STUDY FOUND
THE OPPOSITE.
>> THIS WAS ON THE PROVINCE OF
BRITISH COLUMBIA, BUT THEY FOUND
THAT 61% OF THE FIREARMS SEIZED
OFF THE STREETS WERE FROM
CANADA.
>> Reporter: POLICE AND CRIME
EXPERTS SAY NUMBERS ARE SIMILAR
ACROSS THE COUNTRY, THAT MANY
GUNS USED IN CRIMES ARE FIRST
SOLD AND BOUGHT LEGALLY IN
CANADA.
>> AND THEN DIVERTED THROUGH
BEING STOLEN.
>> Reporter: THE TORONTO MAYOR
HAS BEEN TALKING TO OTTAWA ABOUT
DEALING WITH THE SOURCE.
>> I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM
WITH THE DOMESTIC TRAFFICKING OF
GUNS, YOU'VE HEARD ME SPEAK
ABOUT THAT.
I'VE HAD A NUMBER OF
CONVERSATIONS INCLUDING ONE WITH
THE MINISTER OF PUBLIC SAFETY
FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
>> Reporter: GUN CONTROL
ACTIVISTS HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR
A BETTER TRACKING WHERE GUNS END
UP.
>> IN 1977 WED CONTROLS OVER THE
FIREARMS TO TRACK WHO PURCHASED
GUNS AND WHAT GUNS THEY
PURCHASED AND TO MAKE THAT
INFORMATION EASILY AVAILABLE TO
THE POLICE.
>> Reporter: THE ADVOCATES,
EXPERTS AND POLICE SAY SOLVING
GUN CRIME WILL REQUIRE A MADE IN
CANADA SOLUTION FOR WHAT THEY
NOW UNDERSTAND TO BE A LARGELY
MADE IN CANADA PROBLEM.
>> Adrienne: ALSO IN TORONTO, A
13-YEAR-OLD BOY HAS BEEN CHARGED
WITH FIRST-DEGREE MURDER AFTER
HE AND TWO OTHERS ALLEGEDLY
TARGETED AND KILLED ANOTHER TEEN
LAST WEEKEND.
19-YEAR-OLD AARON WRIGHT WAS
JUST RIDING HIS BIKE WHEN HE WAS
HIT BY A BLACK S.U.V.
THREE MALES INSIDE THE VEHICLE
JUMPED OUT AND REPEATEDLY
STABBED WRIGHT BEFORE RUNNING
AWAY.
POLICE ARE STILL SEARCHING FOR
ONE SUSPECT.
>> Andrew: HERE'S WHAT ELSE
WE'RE FOLLOWING.
REACTION TO A SUPREME COURT
RULING INVOLVING TRINITY WESTERN
UNIVERSITY AND THE BALANCE
BETWEEN LGBT RIGHTS AND
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
>> Adrienne: THE TWILIGHT
DANCERS ARE A GROUP OF
INDIGENOUS TEENS COMPETING IN
SQUARE DANCE, HOW IT HELPS THEM
COPE WITH SUICIDE.
>> TO WASHINGTON, WHERE A
SURPRISE TELEVISION APPEARANCE
BY DONALD TRUMP THIS MORNING IS
STILL MAKING WAVES TONIGHT.
THE U.S. PRESIDENT WAS IN A
CHATTY AND COMBATIVE MOOD,
CRASHING A FOX BRO CAST AND THEN
SPARRING WITH REPORTERS ON THE
WHITE HOUSE LAWN.
TRUMP HAD PLENTY TO SAY ABOUT
FRIENDS, ENEMIES AND HIS OWN
RECORD, BUT NOT ALL OF IT STANDS
UP TO SCRUTINY.
>> I'M DOING AN INTERVIEW OVER
HERE.
>> Reporter: FOR A PRESIDENT WHO
LOVES THE SPOTLIGHT -- THIS WAS
A CHANCE TOO GOOD TO PASS UP.
WEAVING THROUGH A SHOOTING
GALLERY OF REPORTERS' QUESTIONS,
TRUMP PAID A VISIT TO "FOX &
FRIENDS", HIS FAVOURITE SHOW,
BROADCASTING LIVE ON HIS
DOORSTEP.
>> YOU HAVE EXCITEMENT OUT ON
THE LAWN TODAY.
>> Reporter: WHAT FOLLOWED WAS A
50-MINUTE SPECTACLE,
UNPRECEDENTED EVEN FOR TRUMP AS
THE PRESIDENT UNLOADED ON
TOPICS.
CHIEF AMONG THEM, YESTERDAY'S
REPORT IN INTO THE HANDLING OF
THE CLINTON E-MAIL
INVESTIGATION.
>> THERE WAS NO COLLUSION, NO
OBSTRUCTION, THE IG REPORT
YESTERDAY WENT A LONG WAY TO
SHOW THAT.
AND I THINK THAT THE MUELLER
INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN TOTALLY
DISCREDITED.
>> Reporter: TRUMP CONFLATED TWO
MATTERS.
THE INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT IS
NOT ABOUT THE MUELLER PROBE, BUT
TRUMP PICKED INFORMATION ABOUT
BIAS AMONGST INDIVIDUAL F.B.I.
AGENTS TO MAKE THE CASE, THE
SPECIAL COUNSEL INVESTIGATION IS
TAINTED.
REPORTERS DID POINT THAT OUT,
BUT TRUMP CONTINUED WHAT EXPERTS
SAY IS HAD IS CAMPAIGN TO CAST
DOUBT ON THE RUSSIA PROBE.
>> THERE WAS NO COLLUSION, THERE
WAS NO OBSTRUCTION.
>> Reporter: TRUMP WAS
COMBATIVE, CONFIDENT AND CLEARLY
ENJOYING HIMSELF.
WHEN REPORTERS QUESTIONED HOW HE
COULD SAY THAT THE NORTH KOREAN
NUCLEAR THREAT IS OVER --
>> I DID A GREAT JOB THIS
WEEKEND.
>> Reporter: TRUMP SAID HIS
RELATIONSHIP WITH KIM WILL HELP
GET RID OF THEIR NUKES, SHOWING
ADMIRATION.
>> HE SPEAKS AND PEOPLE SIT UP
AT ATTENTION.
I WANT MY PEOPLE TO DO THE SAME.
>> Reporter: LATER, HE WAS
CHALLENGED.
>> I'M KIDDING.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND SARCASM.
WAIT, WHO ARE YOU WITH?
CNN?
>> Reporter: TODAY'S
FREEWHEELING PERFORMANCE IS ONE
THAT WILL BE LAPPED UP BY
SUPPORTERS, BUT OPPONENTS SAY IT
SHOWS A PRESIDENT UNBURDENED BY
HANDLERS AND MANY TIMES THIS
MORNING, UNBURDENED BY THE
TRUTH.
STEVEN D'SOUZA, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Rosemary: SO, JUST AFTER THAT
FOX INTERVIEW ENDED, THE FORMER
CHAIRMAN ARRIVED AT A COURTHOUSE
TO LEARN HE WAS HEADED TO JAIL.
A FEDERAL JUDGE REVOKED PAUL
MANAFORT'S BAIL FOR ALLEGEDLY
TRYING TO GET WITNESSES TO LIE
FOR HIM.
HE'D BEEN UNDER HOUSE ARREST
AWAITING TRIAL, SET FOR
SEPTEMBER ON A NUMBER OF
CHARGES.
HE'S PLEADED NOT GUILTY.
>>> NOW TO A RAPIDLY ESCALATING
TRADE DISPUTE BETWEEN THE
WORLD'S TWO LARGEST ECONOMIES.
PRESIDENT TRUMP MOVING FORWARD
WITH A THREAT AGAINST CHINA THAT
HAD BEEN MONTHS IN THE MAKING.
>> WE'RE PUTTING TARIFFS ON $50
BILLION WORTH OF TECHNOLOGY AND
OTHER THINGS, BECAUSE WE HAVE
TO, BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN TREATED
UNFAIRLY.
>> Rosemary: THE 25% TARIFF WILL
APPLY TO MORE THAN A THOUSAND
ITEMS FROM CHINA, EVERYTHING
FROM TECH TO AEROSPACE, VEHICLES
AND ROBOTICS, PUNISHMENT FOR
WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS IS
YEARS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
AND TECHNOLOGY THEFT.
>> THEY MAY NOT BE HAPPY TODAY
BECAUSE OF WHAT I'M DOING WITH
TRADE.
>> Reporter: THE QUESTION IS,
WILL ANYONE END UP HAPPY IN THE
LOOMING TRADE WAR AND CAN ANYONE
WIN?
>> A TRADE WAR, LIKE A REGULAR
WAR, BOTH SIDES ARE ACTUALLY
GOING TO BE INFLICTING HARM UPON
THEMSELVES BY ENGAGING IN THE
CONFLICT.
THEY'RE HURTING ONE ANOTHER.
AND THEY'RE HOPING THAT THE
OTHER SIDE WILL CRY UNCLE BEFORE
THEY DO.
>> Rosemary: BUT THERE ARE NO
SIGNS THAT WILL HAPPEN.
THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT STRUCK
BACK QUICKLY WITH A 25% TARIFF
OF ITS OWN, TARGETING AMERICAN
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.
>> KIND OF LIKE IF YOU WERE
PLAYING POKE ARE, YOU KNOW, YOU
RESPOND BY PUTTING THE SAME
AMOUNT OF BARRIERS ON THE TABLE
AND RAMPING IT UP.
THEN THE FIRST ONE ESCALATES AND
THEN IT GOES BACK AND FORTH.
>> Rosemary: THEN THERE ARE THE
ACTUAL ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES.
TAKE FOREIGN WASHING MACHINES,
THAT WAS TRUMP'S TARGET IN
JANUARY WHEN HE SLAPPED A STEEP
IMPORT TAX ON THEM.
SINCE THEN, CONSUMERS HAVE BEEN
HUNG OUT TO DRY.
THE COST OF MACHINES SPIKED 17%.
>> TRADE WARS ARE COSTLY TO BOTH
PARTIES.
WHEN THE UNITED STATES IMPOSES
TARIFFS ON CHINA, IT HURTS
CHINA.
AND WHEN CHINA IMPOSES TUFRS ON
THE UNITED STATES, IT HURTS THE
UNITED STATES.
>> Rosemary: THERE IS LITTLE
DOUBT THE TOUGH ON TRADE
STRATEGY WILL BACK FIRE.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF HOW MUCH
AND HOW LONG.
MEANWHILE, THE RCMP CONFIRMED
TODAY IT IS INVESTIGATING A
DEATH THREAT SENT TO THE U.S.
AMBASSADOR TO CANADA KELLY
CRAFT.
THE THREATENING LETTER CONTAINED
A POWDER SUBSTANCE PROVEN TO BE
HARMLESS.
IT WAS INTERCEPTED BEFORE IT
MADE ITS WAY TO THE AMBASSADOR'S
RESIDENCE, THEY SAY IT WAS
JARRING, BULB THE AMBASSADOR IS
DOING JUST FINE.
>> Andrew: A CHRISTIAN
UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN GIVEN A
SETBACK.
THE SUPREME COURT OF CANADA
UPHELD THE RIGHT TO REJECT
GRADUATES OF TRINITY WESTERN'S
PROPOSED LAW SCHOOL.
WHAT THAT DOES IS RENDER A LAW
DEGREE FROM THAT SCHOOL
WORTHLESS.
SO WHY THE OPPOSITION?
AND WILL THE SCHOOL EVER GET OFF
THE GROUND?
HANNAH THIBEDEAU EXPLAINS.
>> Reporter: TO ATTEND THIS
PRIVATE EVANGELIST CHRISTIAN,
THEY HAVE TO SIGN A COVENANT TO
ABSTAIN FROM SEX.
>> WE HAVE THE SAME MORAL VALUES
AND FOUNDATION.
WE CAN STUDY KNOWING THAT AND
OTHER STUDENTS BELIEVE THE SAME
THINGS.
>> Reporter: HECTOR GOES TO THE
SCHOOL.
HE'S MARRIED TO A MAN AND SAYS
HE HAS NO PROBLEM ADHERING TO
THE SELL BAIT RULE.
>> BUT TODAY, CANADA'S TOP COURT
RULED THAT THE SCHOOL'S POLICY
IS DISCRIMINATORY AGAINST LGBTQ
STUDENTS.
AND THAT MEANS TRINITY CANNOT
ESTABLISH A LAW SCHOOL.
>> IT DOES LOOK LIKE RELIGIOUS
FREEDOM CAN BE RESTRICTED BY
EQUALITY RIGHTS.
>> Reporter: THE LAW SOCIETY OF
ONTARIO AND B.C. HAD REFUSED TO
APPROVE TRINITY'S PROPOSED LAW
PROGRAMME.
FINDING THAT THIS RESTRICTION ON
ENTRY INTO THE SCHOOL, RISKED
DECREASING DIVERSITY WITHIN THE
LEGAL SYSTEM.
THE MAJORITY OF THE JUSTICES
AGREED.
IN THE RULING IT SAYS, LGBTQ
INDIVIDUALS WOULD HAVE FEWER
OPPORTUNITIES RELATIVE TO
OTHERS.
THIS UNDERMINES EQUALITY OF
ACCESS TO LEGAL EDUCATION.
ANOTHER PART READS, IF LGBTQ
STUDENTS SIGNED THE COVENANT,
THEY WOULD HAVE TO LIVE A LIE TO
OBTAIN A DEGREE.
OPPONENTS TO THE RULING SAY IT
UNDERMINES RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
IN THE COUNTRY.
>> BELIEVE THIS WILL POSSIBLY
HAVE IMPACT ON OTHER AREAS,
WHETHER IT'S ON OTHER
PROFESSIONS SUCH AS THE MEDICAL
PROFESSION, NURSING.
HOW WE UNDERSTAND RELIGIOUS
SCHOOLS.
>> Reporter: LGBTQ ADVOCATES AND
THE LAW SOCIETIES APPLAUD THE
RULING AND SAY IT COULD GUIDE
FUTURE EQUALITY CASES.
>> THE SUPREME COURT OF CANADA
HAS GONE FROM IN 1967 UPHOLDING
AN INDEFINITE JAIL SENTENCE FOR
A PERSON ENGAGED IN CONSENSUAL
ACTIVITY WITH SOMEONE OF THE
SAME SEX, TO NOW DENYING THEIR
APPROVAL TO AN INSTITUTION WITH
DISCRIMINATORY POLICIES.
>> Reporter: THEY'RE NOT RULING
OUT LIFTING THE COVENANT IN
ORDER TO GET THE LAW SCHOOL.
>> Andrew: IT'S WORTH
UNDERLINING, THAT THE RULING WAS
NOT UNANIMOUS.
THE TWO DISSENTING JUDGES WROTE
THE LAW SOCIETY OF B.C.'S
DECISION IS A PROFOUND
INTERFERENCE WITH RELIGIOUS
FREEDOM AND IS CONTRARY TO THE
STATE'S DUTY OF RELIGIOUS
NEUTRALITY.
STILL AHEAD ON "THE NATIONAL",
"BAO", IT'S GENERATING BUZZ.
IT'S THE FIRST FILM TO BE
DIRECTED BY A WOMAN AND SHE'S
CANADIAN, TOO.
YOU'LL HEAR FROM DOMEE SHI.
>> WE'LL SHOW YOU HOW A GROUP OF
INDIGENOUS TEENAGERS ARE FINDING
HEALING THROUGH DANCE, SQUARE
DANCING TO BE EXACT.
>> Rosemary: AND HOW HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS FROM THE SIKSIKA BAND
ARE TAKING PART IN AN
ARCHEOLOGICAL DIG TO RECONNECT
WITH THEIR HISTORY.
>> WE'RE REAL PEOPLE.
AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT PEOPLE TO
UNDERSTAND.
TO COME
[ * ]
>> IT'S A DIFFICULT DAY, BUT I'M
NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS
PERSONAL CONNECTIONS WITH THE
MEMBERS THAT ARE MISSING.
>> Andrew: WE'RE KEEPING TRACK
OF AN EMERGENCY SITUATION OFF
THE B.C. COAST, A SEARCH UNDER
WAY FOR THREE MEN WHO WENT
MISSING AFTER THEIR BOAT
CAPSIZED.
IT HAPPENED EARLY THIS MORNING
NEAR TOFINO.
TWO MEN WERE RESCUED.
THEY'RE SAID TO BE FISHERMEN
FROM A LOCAL FIRST NATION.
>>> THE CANADIAN TRANSPORTATION
AGENCY SAYS REPAIRS ON
CHURCHILL'S DAMAGED RAILWAY MUST
BEGIN.
THE REGULATOR ORDERED OMNITRAX,
THAT'S THE AMERICAN COMPANY THAT
OWNS THE RAILWAY TO FIX THE
LINE.
IT'S A CRITICAL LINK.
CHURCHILL'S ONLY LAND ROUTE
CONNECTING THEM TO THE SOUTH.
BUT PART OF THE LINE WAS FLOODED
OUT LAST SPRING.
OMNITRAX MAY NOT BE THE ONES
FIXING THE LINE, THEY'RE CLOSE
TO FINALIZING A DEAL TO SELL THE
RAILWAY.
>> I WANT TO CONFIRM IN ONTARIO
THE CARBON TAX'S DAYS ARE
NUMBERED.
>> Andrew: ONTARIO
PREMIER-DESIGNATE DOUG FORD SAYS
HIS FIRST ACT IN OFFICE WILL BE
TO DO AWAY WITH CAP-AND-TRADE.
THE POINT OF CAP-AND-TRADE IS TO
PUT A PRICE ON EMISSIONS, BUT
FORD SAYS IT DOES NOTHING FORT
ENVIRONMENT AND HURTS SMALL
BUSINESS AND FAMILIES.
THE MOVE COULD SPARK A LEGAL
BATTLE BETWEEN ONTARIO AND THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHICH PLANS
TO IMPOSE CARBON PRICING ON
PROVINCES THAT DON'T ALREADY
HAVE IT.
>> Rosemary: THREE CENTURIES
AGO, LIFE WAS VASTLY DIFFERENT
FOR THE SIKSIKA NATION, A
VIBRANT MEMBER OF THE BLACKFOOT
CONFEDERACY.
THEY LIVE ON THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
OF ALBERTA, CLUNY WAS PART
TRADING POST, PART FORTRESS,
ADVANCED FOR ITS TIME.
NOW, IT IS BEING REDISCOVERED BY
A NEW GENERATION OF SIKSIKA
NATION WHO ARE HUNGRY TO LEARN.
>> Reporter: HUNDREDS OF YEARS
AGO THIS VALLEY IN SOUTHERN
ALBERTA WAS A GATHERING PLACE.
THE ONLY SPOT FOR MILES THE BOW
RIVER COULD BE CROSSED ON FOOT.
TODAY, THESE HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS ARE STEPPING BACK IN
TIME, WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS
OF THEIR ANCESTORS AND DIGGING
INTO THEIR OWN HISTORIES IN THE
PROCESS.
THESE TEENS FROM NEARBY SIKSIKA
HIGH ARE TEAMING UP WITH THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY ARCHEOLOGY
DEPARTMENT TO EXCAVATE THE SITE.
>> THERE IS SO MUCH HISTORY
CONTAINED IN THE LAND AROUND US
AND GIVING STUDENTS THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DISCOVER SOME OF
THAT HISTORY AND TELL THOSE
STORIES, IT'S AN AMAZING
OPPORTUNITY.
>> Reporter: EVERYONE GETS THEIR
HANDS DIRTY HERE WORKING
TOGETHER TO UNCOVER THE ONLY
KNOWN FORTIFIED VILLAGE ON THE
CANADIAN PLAINS.
SCRAPING AWAY HUNDREDS OF YEARS
OF HISTORY, SEARCHING FOR
EVIDENCE OF THEIR ANCESTORS'
LIVES.
>> WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND?
>> THIS A QUADRANT, SO PETRIFIED
WOOD, AT OF NOW, THEY'RE BONE.
>> YOU'RE DIGGING UP YOU'RE
PEOPLES' HISTORY?
YES.
>> Reporter: AND BY SIFTING
THROUGH THE PAST, THESE STUDENTS
HOPE TO CHANGE HOW THEIR PEOPLE
ARE PERCEIVED.
>> WE'RE NOT JUST SIKSIKA,
BLACKFOOT, OR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE,
WE'RE REAL PEOPLE.
>> Reporter: LISA CALF ROBE GREW
UP JUST A STONE'S THROW FROM
THIS SITE, BUT KNEW NOTHING
ABOUT IT.
COMPARED TO HER STUDENTS, SHE
LEARNED LITTLE TO NOTHING ABOUT
BLACKFOOT CULTURAL.
>> WE HAD NO CULTURAL COMPONENTS
IN OUR EDUCATION.
WE HAD TO GO BACK AND RELEARN
MANY STUFF WE HAD LOST.
>> Reporter: THE HOPE IS THAT BY
HELPING THE UNIVERSITY UNCOVER
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WAY THEIR
ANCESTORS LIVED, THESE STUDENTS
ARE ALSO TAKING A STEP TOWARD
RECONCILIATION.
>> Rosemary: HERE'S A LITTLE
MORE ON THE LIFE AND LAND OF THE
BLACKFOOT CONFEDERACY TO WHICH
THE SIKSIKA NATION BELONGED
BEFORE EUROPEAN CONTACT.
IT ONCE COMMANDED A MASSIVE
AREA, SPANNING PARTS OF ALBERTA,
SASKATCHEWAN AND THEN DOWN INTO
MONTANA.
THE BLACKFOOT RELIED ON THE
BUFFALO HUNT AND ALONG WITH THE
FIERCE WARRIOR CULTURE DEVELOPED
A POWERFUL AND SOPHISTICATED
ALLIANCE SYSTEM, NOT JUST WITH
OTHER FIRST NATIONS WITHIN THE
CONFEDERACY, BUT WITH
NEIGHBORING ATHABASCA NATIONS
AND THE LANGUAGE IS IN SERIOUS
DANGER, WITH ONLY 3500 FLUENT
SPEAKERS.
THE ALBERTA GOVERNMENT IS
FUNDING EFFORTS TO TURN THAT
AROUND.
>> Adrienne: STILL AHEAD, THE
TWILIGHT DANCERS USED SQUARE
DANCING TO HEAL AFTER A SUICIDE
EPIDEMIC BROUGHT THEIR SMALL
COMMUNITY INTO FOCUS.
>> PEOPLE ARE DREAMING WHAT CARS
OR NICE HOUSE OR SOMETHING.
MY DREAM WAS TO DANCE WITH MY
BROTHER, TO LIGHT UP THAT STAGE.
YOU'RE PROBABLY THINKING,
EITHER, A, THAT'S ADORABLE, OR,
B, I'M HUNGRY.
DON'T WORRY THERE ARE NO WRONG
ANSWERS.
NOBODY IS JUDGING, BUT IF YOU'RE
HEADED OUT TO SEE THE
"INCREDIBLES 2", YOU'RE GOING TO
SEE A LOT MORE OF THAT LITTLE
DUMPLING ON THE SCREEN.
THAT'S NOT JUST A WIN FOR
CREATIVITY BUT DIVERSITY.
[CRYING]
>> Reporter: A CHINESE MOTHER
AND HER MAGICAL DUMPLING, "BAO"
IS PIXAR'S LATEST SHORT FILM AND
IT'S DIRECTED BY A WOMAN, DOMEE
SHI.
>> IT HAS TWO MEANINGS IN
CHINESE, STEAMED BUN, LIKE THE
ONES THESE GUYS ARE MAKING AND
ANOTHER WAY, PRECIOUS, TREASURE.
"BAO" HAS BEEN HER PRECIOUS
PROJECT FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS,
A STORY INSPIRED BY HER OWN LIFE
EXPERIENCE, GROWING UP AS AN
ONLY CHILD OF CHINESE IMMIGRANT
PARENTS IN TORONTO.
>> I ALWAYS FELT LIKE SINCE I
WAS LITTLE, MY MOM TREATED ME
LIKE HER PRECIOUS DUMPLING.
AND I WANTED TO EXPLORE THAT
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THIS
OVERPROTECTIVE CHINESE MOM AND
THE DUMPLING THAT JUST WANTS TO
GET AWAY.
>> Reporter: AFTER GRADUATING
FROM THE ANIMATION PROGRAMME IN
ONTARIO, SHE WAS HIRED AS AN
ANIMATOR AT PIXAR.
NOW HER OWN 8-MINUTE SHORT WILL
RUN IN THEATRES WORLDWIDE ALONG
WITH INCREDIBLES 2 TT.
>> I CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF
"BAO" BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE MY
CULTURE AND FOOD I GREW UP, AND
THE PEOPLE I WAS SURROUNDED BY
ON THE BIG SCREEN.
>> Reporter: FOR SHI, EVERYTHING
HAD TO BE JUST RIGHT.
SO SHE BROUGHT IN AN EXPERT, HER
MOTHER.
THE ENTIRE ANIMATION CREW FILMED
AND CAPTURED EVERY DETAIL, FROM
ROLLING DOUGH TO FOLDING STEAM
BUNS.
>> WE WANTED THOSE AUTHENTIC
DETAILS TO GROUND THE STORY AND
THE FILM AND MAKE IT FEEL LIKE
THIS REAL CHINESE MOM'S
EXPERIENCE.
"BAO" ISN'T THE ONLY FILM THIS
SUMMER THAT HAS ASIAN CREATORS
BRINGING THEIR STORIES TO LIFE.
>> $1.2 MILLION.
>> Reporter: THE HIGHLY
ANTICIPATED CRAZY RICH ASIANS
OPENING THIS SUMMER.
ADAPTED FROM THE BOOK SERIES, IT
FEATURES A FULL ASIAN CAST,
DIRECTOR AND WRITERS.
FOR MARTIN EDRALIN, THIS YEAR IS
SIGNIFICANT.
>> WHAT WE SEE ON THE SCREEN
CHANGES THE WAY WE SEE OURSELVES
AND THE WAY OTHER PEOPLE SEE US.
>> Reporter: A FILIPINO TEEN, HE
RARELY SAW ASIANS REPRESENTED IN
FILM OR TV.
>> WHEN I WAS WRITING I IMAGINED
WHITE CHARACTERS AND WHITE
STORIES.
AND I THINK THAT'S JUST BECAUSE
THAT IS WHAT WE SAW IN THE
MEDIA.
AND I GUESS NOW BECAUSE OF ALL
OF THE DISCUSSION AROUND
DIVERSITY AND REPRESENTATION, IT
WAS A REAL WAKE-UP CALL TO SORT
OF REFLECT ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE
AND WHO I AM.
>> Reporter: EDRALIN IS NOW
DEVELOPING TWO FEATURE FILMS
THAT TELL THE STORIES OF
FILIPINO-CANADIANS.
A CHANGE IS HAPPENING, BUT
SLOWLY.
OF THE 100 TOP MOVIES OF 2017,
ONLY ABOUT 4% HAD ASIAN
DIRECTORS.
AND THIS WAS THE GAME-CHANGER.
THE $1.3 BILLION BOX OFFICE
SUCCESS OF "BLACK PANTHER"
OPENED DOORS AND SHOWED
HOLLYWOOD THAT DIVERSITY SELLS.
CHRISTINA HUDSON BELIEVES THAT
REAL CHANGE BELONGS IN THE
WRITER ROOM.
>> IF WE DO SPECIFY ETHNICITY
SOMETIMES, IT CAN MAKE PEOPLE
READ IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
>> WHO ARE YOU?
>> HODSON RECENTLY FINISHED
WRITING "BUMBLEBEE", WITH THE
FRANCHISE'S FIRST FEMALE LEAD.
>> I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT
THAT STUDIOS SUPPORT DIVERSE
STORY TELLERS FROM THE GROUND
UP, NOT JUST CONSULTANTS HIRED,
LIKE HALFWAY THROUGH THE MOVIE.
YOU KNOW, BEING FINISHED, LIKE
HAVING THEM THERE FROM THE VERY
BEGINNING OF THE CONCEPTION OF
THE STORY.
>> Reporter: "BAO" CREATOR HAS
ALREADY BEEN GIVEN THE GREEN
LIGHT TO START ON A FEATURE
LENGTH FILM FOR PIXAR.
>> Rosemary: NOW I'M HUNGRY AND
WANT TO SEE THE MOVIE.
FEDERAL M.P.s ARE GETTING READY
TO PACK UP, CENTRE BLOCK IS
SLATED TO BE SHUT DOWN FOR BADLY
NEEDED RENOVATIONS.
COME JANUARY, M.P.s WILL BE
MEETING WITH THE WEST BLOCK
BUILDING PROBABLY FOR ABOUT THE
NEXT DECADE.
>> HELLO, AND WELCOME TO THE
BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED AND
MODERNIZED WEST BLOCK, THE
FUTURE HOME OF THE HOUSE OF
COMMONS.
[ * ]
THIS IS THE HEART OF CANADA'S
PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM.
THIS PROJECT TOOK A LITTLE OVER
SEVEN YEARS.
HAS A BUDGET OF $863 MILLION.
THAT INVOLVES SEISMICALLY
RETROFITTING A MID 19TH CENTURY
LOW BEARING STONE MASONRY
BUILDING.
>> THE PROJECT IS THE LARGEST
MASONRY PROJECT UNDERTAKEN IN
CANADA.
ON AVERAGE, WE'VE HAD 500
WORKERS.
WE'VE ADDED OVER 5 MILLION
POUNDS OF STRUCTURAL STEEL TO
THE JOB.
THE GLASS ROOF, THERE IS 50,000
SQUARE FEET OF GLASS.
THAT'S ENOUGH TO COVER A
FOOTBALL FIELD.
>> IT'S A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THE
COMPLEXITY OF RESTORING AND
MODERNIZING A HERITAGE BUILDING
ROSS, A DANCER AND FILMMAKER
FROM A REMOTE FIRST NATION,
CALLED CROSS LAKE, ABOUT 500
KILOMETRES NORTH OF WINNIPEG.
TWO YEARS AGO, A SUICIDE CRISIS
THRUST HER COMMUNITY INTO THE
NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT.
SIX PEOPLE TOOK THEIR OWN LIVES
IN THE SPAN OF THREE MONTHS,
MANY MORE SAID TO BE AT RISK.
AS PART OF NATIONAL INDIGENOUS
HISTORY MONTH, CBC SHORT DOCS
HAS BEEN WORKING WITH INDIGENOUS
FILMMAKERS, GIVING THEM A
PLATFORM TO SHARE THEIR STORIES
AND TONIGHT, WE SHOWCASED ROSS'.
SHE RETURNED TO HER COMMUNITY
SEVERAL TIMES IN 2016 TO
DOCUMENT HOW A GROUP OF
TEENAGERS ARE USING SQUARE DANCE
TO COPE WITH THE TRAUMA.
THEY'RE CALLED THE TWILIGHT
DANCERS.
[ * ]
[ * ]
[ * ]
I ALWAYS GET A REALLY GOOD
FEEDBACK ON WHAT I DO ON BEHALF
OF MY PERFORMANCES.
THEY JUST SAY, OH, IT'S JUST
JIGGING.
NO.
IT'S NOT JUST JIGGING.
IT'S ACTUALLY I GREW UP DOING.
SOMETHING I LOVE TO DO.
[LAUGHTER]
>> COME HERE, YOU HAVE TO COME
AND COMB YOUR HAIR, TOO.
>> CROSS LAKE COMPETITION IS
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, THE SQUARE
DANCING IS ON SATURDAY.
SOMETIMES WE WIN AND LIKE
SOMETIMES WE DON'T, BUT IT'S ALL
ABOUT HAVING FUN.
>> CHERISH, YOU SHOULD START
GOING TO THE SCHOOL.
>> THEY'RE HAVING A FLOOR HOCKEY
TOURNAMENT OUTSIDE OR SOMETHING.

>> I WAS DANCING SINCE I WAS
LIKE 5 YEARS OLD, MAN.
SINCE I WAS A LITTLE BOY.
I REMEMBER MY FIRST TIME I WAS
IN MY MOM'S LIVING ROOM AND
EVERYONE WAS DANCING, EVERYONE
WAS DANCING AND ONE OF MY
BROTHERS, HE WAS DEZ, ASK THEM
[Speaking Native Language]
THAT'S LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO TO ME, MAN?
I TRIED IT.
IT DIDN'T WORK OUT WELL.
IT WAS FUNNY AND KIND OF
EMBARRASSING.
THIS IS WHAT MY BROTHER USED TO
ALWAYS SAY TO ME.
JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW
TO DANCE NOW DOESN'T MEAN YOU'LL
NEVER KNOW HOW TO DANCE IN THE
FUTURE.
[ * ]
>> I LOVE TEACHING SQUARE
DANCING.
NOT ONLY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS,
BUT TO HELP THEM.
IT HELPS, EVEN WHEN YOU'RE GOING
THROUGH A LOT IN LIFE.
NOT ONLY I'M TEACHING THEM, BUT
I'M ALSO TEACHING MYSELF.
NOT JUST TO BECOME A BETTER
DANCER, BUT TO ALSO TO BECOME A
BETTER PERSON.
WHEN THE MUSIC STARTS, YOU HAVE
TO LIKE TELL YOUR TEAM, ONE,
TWO, THREE, AND THEN YOU START
DANCING ALL TOGETHER.
TO KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO
MAKE A MOVE, TO SAY HOW.
>> SQUARE DANCING I THINK WAS
ALWAYS PART OF THE CULTURE
GROWING UP, OLD TIME, BOTH MY
GRANDPAS PLAYED FIDDLE AND HELD
DANCES IN A LOCAL HALL.
THEY WOULD SQUARE DANCE AND HAVE
A LOCAL COMPETITION.
>> I THINK SQUARE DANCING CAME
FROM WHITE PEOPLE [LAUGHTER], I
DON'T KNOW.
>> THE COLONIZERS DID BRING US
SQUARE DANCING IN TERMS OF TEAMS
AND WHAT NOT, BUT THERE WAS OF
COURSE THE FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE
INCORPORATED SOME OF THEIR MOVES
INTO THE DANCE.
THE COLONIZERS JUST USED THEIR
FEET, NOT SO MUCH THE BODY.
THEN FIRST NATIONS INCORPORATED
THEIR DANCING INTO THE WHOLE
BODY, RIGHT?
THAT'S THE INFLUENCE THE FIRST
NATIONS HAD ON SQUARE DANCING.
>> SOME KIDS LIKE TO JUDGE AND
LIKE ACT HOW THEY DANCE.
BULLYING, IT HAPPENS A LOT AND
LIKE SUICIDES.
>> EVERYBODY OUT THERE, DOESN'T
MATTER IF IT'S CHILD GOING UP TO
ELDER, EVERYBODY IS IN PAIN.
WHY WOULD THEY DO SUCH A THING,
TO TAKE YOUR OWN LIFE?
SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW
TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES NO MORE,
BECAUSE THERE IS BARELY PEOPLE
OUT THERE LISTENING.
>> SOME PEOPLE GET BULLIED.
PEOPLE LIKE TO BRING DOWN EACH
OTHER ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
THEY LIKE TO JUDGE AND TEASE AND
EVERYTHING ELSE.
>> I KIND OF LIKE LIVING HERE,
AND KIND OF DON'T.
SOMETIMES I LIKE STAYING HERE.
>> I DON'T LIKE BULLYING BECAUSE
I LOST A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE TO
IT.
SUICIDE.
IT'S REALLY HARD.
I HAVEN'T DANCED LAST FESTIVAL
AND I DANCED IN INDIAN DAYS, DUE
TO THE SUICIDE EPIDEMIC AND WHAT
WAS GOING ON, I COULDN'T DO IT.
THE MOST TRAGIC THING THAT
HAPPENED TO ME IN MY LIFE IS
LOSING A BROTHER.
IT WAS VERY DEVASTATING.
I GREW UP IN A VIOLENT PLACE.
COULDN'T FOCUS ON SCHOOL BECAUSE
DUE TO LIKE GETTING BULLIED,
BECAUSE OF THE COLOUR I WEAR.
WE KIND OF JOIN THAT VIOLENCE,
BUT THAT'S THE PAST.
A PAST THAT I PROBABLY NEVER
WANT TO GO BACK TO, NEVER.
[ * ]
PEOPLE ARE DREAMING OF WHAT CARS
OR A NICE HOUSE, OR SOMETHING,
YOU KNOW.
MY DREAM WAS TO DANCE WITH MY
BROTHER, TO LIGHT UP THAT STAGE.
[ * ]
WAY TO GO THERE, TWILIGHT
DANCERS.
>> THAT'S HOW TO DANCE, WOO!
MAKE THE CROWD GO WILD!
THE LAST WORDS MY BROTHER TOLD
ME, THOSE WORDS THAT GOT ME
GOING EVERY DAY IN LIFE.
[Speaking Native Language]
WHICH MEANS NEVER GIVE UP.
AND SO I TOOK IT.
>> TWILIGHT DANCERS!
DESMOND.
EVERYBODY IN THIS COMMUNITY AS
WE SPEAK IS A SURVIVOR.
THEY SURVIVED THROUGH THAT 2016.
AND THROUGH THE ROUGHEST, THE
ROUGHEST YEAR, TOUGHEST.
WE'RE HURT.
WE'RE DAMAGED.
WE'RE BROKEN.
BUT WE'RE STILL STANDING STRONG.
THAT'S THE IMPORTANT THING ABOUT
THIS COMMUNITY.
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TO EACH
AND EVERY ONE OF US OUT HERE,
ALL I KNOW, THAT EVERY
INDIVIDUAL IN THIS COMMUNITY IS
ONE TOUGH WARRIOR.

>> Adrienne: AS I MENTIONED
EARLIER, THE FILMMAKER THEOLA
ROSS IS HERSELF A DANCER AND
SAYS SHE HAS FOND MEMORIES OF
HER FAMILY TAPPING THEIR TOES TO
THE RED RIVER JIG.
DE
DESMOND SHOWED THE CBC ART
STUDIO HUH TO DO IT.
-- HOW TO DO IT.
>> FOUR TIMES.
BOOM.
BOOM, BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HOP A
LITTLE BIT.
YEAH.
GET A LITTLE MOVEMENT INTO IT.
>> THE RED RIVER JIG IS A
TRADITIONAL DANCE, BUT DESMOND
SAYS PRACTISE MAKES PERFECT, SO
IF YOU WANT TO FOLLOW ALONG AND
MASTER IT, HEAD OVER TO
CBC.CA/ARTS.
YOU CAN SEE MORE DOCS ONLINE.
"THE NATIONAL" WILL SHOWCASE
MORE OF THEIR STORIES THROUGHOUT
THE MONTH.
>>> YOU MIGHT NOT RECOGNIZE THE
WOMAN ON THE SCREEN, BUT SHE IS
A FIRST FEMALE REPORTER ON A
NATIONAL NEWS PROGRAMME, FIRST
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER HERE AT "THE
NATIONAL".
ALL OF IT ACHIEVED THROUGH A MIX
OF KINDNESS, AND NA TENACITY.
TODAY, SHE WAS INDUCTED AND WE
WANTED TO SHARE WORDS WITH YOU
ABOUT HER LOVE FOR NEWS AND FOR
YOU, THE AUDIENCE.
>> THEY PLANNED TO DO THE SAME
THING.
>> IF METRO RUNS THE CNE, THEY
SHOULD HAVE VOICE.
>> I LOVE THE JAGGED BEAUTY OF
CRAFTING A NEW STORY.
HOW SOMETHING THAT STARTS THE
TOP, MOVES TO THE SIDE AND A
LITTLE PIECE THAT DIDN'T SEEM
IMPORTANT IS AT THE CENTRE OF
THINGS.
HOW CAREFUL FACTS BECOME THE
TRUTH, BUT NOT REALLY, A STORY
NEVER ENDS, IT CHANGES.
AND THE AUDIENCE OWNS THE STORY.
THEY CHOOSE WHETHER TO BELIEVE
IT OR NOT, WHETHER TO ACT OR
NOT, WHETHER TO ADD THEIR OWN
STORY.
NEWS STORIES ARE TRULY
>> Andrew: WELCOME BACK, WE ARE
LIVE ON "THE NATIONAL."
WE GOT AN UPDATE FROM THE
HUMBOLDT BRONCOS, THEY SAY
FINDING A NEW COACH WILL TAKE
LONGER THAN EXPECTED, NOT
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND ANYONE
BUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN
OVERWHELMED BY THE NUMBER OF
APPLICATIONS.
THEY HAVE BEEN BUSY TRYING TO
REFILL THEIR ROSTER IN TIME FOR
THE NEXT HOCKEY SEASON.
LEGAL DRAMA TODAY FOR STAR
PORTUGAL STRIKER, CRISTIANO
RONALDO, HOURS BEFORE HIS TEAM
KICKED OFF, NEWS HE SETTLED A
TAX EVASION CASE.
ORDERED TO PAY AND A SENTENCE
FOR EVADING $17 MILLION IN
TAXES BUT OBSERVERS IN SPAIN
SAY IT'S UNLIKELY HE WILL
ACTUALLY HAVE TO SPEND TIME
BEHIND BARS.
AND FIRE CREWS IN SCOTLAND ARE
BATTLING A LARGE BLAZE TONIGHT
AT THE GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART.
FLAMES ENGULFED THE RENOWNED
McINTOSH BUILDING.
THE BUILDING HAD BEEN UNDER
GOING A MAJOR RESTORATION
PROJECT AND IT WAS DUE TO
REOPEN NEXT YEAR.
>> Adrienne: WHILE WE ARE
HAVING DISCUSSIONS ABOUT GUN
VIOLENCE IN THIS COUNTRY, OUR
NEIGHBOURS TO THE SOUTH ARE
DOING THE SAME THING.
YESTERDAY MARKED FOUR MONTHS
SINCE THE SCHOOL SHOOTING IN
PARKLAND FLORIDA AND TODAY MANY
OF THOSE STUDENTS KICKED OFF A
TWO-MONTH LONG TOUR ACROSS THE
U.S. TO BOOST YOUTH VOTER TURN
OUT.
TONIGHT THEY JOINED FORCES WITH
OTHER STUDENTS AND SPEAKERS AT
A RALLY IN CHICAGO AND THAT IS
OUR "MOMENT OF THE DAY".
>> HOW ARE YOU DOING CHICAGO?
>> EVERYONE FROM PARKLAND IS SO
GRATEFUL TO BE WITH YOU TODAY.
WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO FIGHT
WITH YOU, STAND WITH YOU, RALLY
WITH YOU.
ALL OF YOUR VOICES, NO MATTER
WHERE YOU COME FROM, YOUR
COMMUNITY, YOUR ECONOMIC
BACKGROUND MATTERS.
YOUR VOICES ARE STRONG AND IN
THIS MOVEMENT EVERY SINGLE
VOICE NO MATTER WHERE IT COMES
FROM, MATTERS.
DO YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO
FIGHT?
STAND WITH ME.
VOTE, VOTE, VOTE, AND VOTE!
>> SAY NO TO RACISM, NO TO
HOMOPHOBIA, NO TO SEXISM, NO TO
HATE, NO TO GUN VIOLENCE, AND
SAY YES TO LOVE AND PEACE.
>> Adrienne: SOME LOUD VOICES
THERE.
THESE STUDENTS CHOSE CHICAGO
BECAUSE 159 PEOPLE ARE SHOT IN
CHICAGO EVERY YEAR.
AND THE CHICAGO STUDENTS OFTEN
WORRY THEY DON'T HAVE THE
PROFILE AND THE PARKLAND
STUDENTS KNOW THEY DO, SO THEY
CHOSE CHICAGO TO HELP LIFT THE
VOICES OF THEIR YOUNG
COLLEAGUES THERE.
>> Rosemary: AND THEY WILL KEEP
DOING THAT BECAUSE THIS IS PART
OF THEIR MARCH FOR CHANGE, THEY
ARE TRYING TO BUILD MOMENTUM
AND THEY WILL HIT, I THINK 75
OTHER STOPS.
>> Andrew: ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
EVEN FLORIDA THEY HAVE A PLAN
TO HIT ALL 27 CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICTS.
WE HEARD GABRIELLE GIFFORD
SAYING, THE POINT OF ALL THIS,
VOTE, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE.
AHEAD OF THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS
COMING UP IN EARLY NOVEMBER.
>> Adrienne: ALL RIGHT, WELL
THAT IS "THE NATIONAL" FOR
FRIDAY JUNE 15th.
GOOD NIGHT.
