>> Ian: ON THIS THURSDAY NIGHT,
TAXES, TARIFFS AND TRADE ACROSS
CANADA AND ACROSS THE BORDER.
AS NORTH AMERICA'S AUTO SECTOR
ATTACKS WASHINGTON'S LATEST
TARIFF SCARE, CANADA'S PREMIERS
USE A SUMMER GET TOGETHER TO PUT
OTTAWA'S CARBON PLAN TO TEST.
>>> ALSO TONIGHT, THE U.S.
PRESIDENT'S LATEST INVITATION,
INTERESTING TIMING, INTERESTING
GUESTS.
AFTER DAYS OF TRYING TO TALK
TOUGH ON RUSSIA, DONALD TRUMP
OPENS THE WHITE HOUSE DOOR TO
VLADIMIR PUTIN.
THE LATEST HEAD-SPINNER IN A
DIZZYING WEEK.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL".
>> Ian: THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
INSISTS IT WILL GET IT, BUT
ONTARIO IS DIGGING IN ON ITS
OPPOSITION TO THE CARBON TAX,
NOW JOINING FORCING WITH
SASKATCHEWAN TO FIGHT IT IN
COURT.
IT'S DOMINATING TALK OF THE
PREMIERS' SUMMIT UNDER WAY IN
NEW BRUNSWICK.
>> Reporter: SASKATCHEWAN HAS A
NEW PARTNER IN ITS LONELY STAND
AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
CARBON TAX.
>> I'M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT
ONTARIO WILL JOIN FORCES WITH
SASKATCHEWAN AND USE EVERY TOOL
AT OUR DISPOSAL TO CHALLENGE THE
FEDERAL CARBON TAX.
>> Reporter: SASKATCHEWAN
PREMIER SCOTT MOE SAYS THE WHOLE
CLIMATE FRAMEWORK AGREED TO BY
EVERY PROVINCE EXCEPT
SASKATCHEWAN IS STARTING TO
CRUMBLE.
>> THIS PLAN FINDS OUR NATION IN
THIS POSITION.
WE HAVE TWO PROVINCES IN
COMPLIANCE.
WE HAVE TWO PROVINCES IN COURT.
AND WE EVER THE REST OF THE
COUNTRY -- WE HAVE THE REST OF
THE COUNTRY NOT MEETING THE
FEDERAL CARBON TAX BACKSTOP.
>> Reporter: THE SITUATION IS
ACTUALLY A BIT MORE COMPLICATED
THAN THAT.
THERE ARE AT LEAST THREE
PROVINCES THAT LOOK SET TO
COMPLY.
TWO THAT INTEND TO DEFY AND
SEVERAL THAT WANT TO FUDGE IT.
IT'S THE LAST GROUP THAT COULD
PROVE MOST DIFFICULT FOR THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
THE COURTS WILL DECIDE ON
ONTARIO AND SASKATCHEWAN AND
MOST LEGAL EXPERTS SAY OTTAWA IS
PROBABLY ON SAFE GROUND.
>> THIS CASE IS A LONG SHOT.
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE
JUDGES ARE HUMAN BEINGS, BUT
BASED ON THE PRECEDENT OF THE
LAST FEW DECADES, THE CHANCES OF
THIS WINNING ARE SLIM.
>> THE PROVINCE'S CASE WILL NOT
STAND UP.
THAT IS THE ADVICE THAT WE HAVE
BEEN HEARING.
>> Reporter: SO PREMIER GALLANT
SAYS NEW BRUNSWICK WILL COMPLY,
BUT FEDERAL ENVIRONMENT MINISTER
CATHERINE McKENNA SAYS SHE
THINKS NEW BRUNSWICK'S PLAN
COMES UP SHORT BECAUSE IT PUTS A
PRICE ON CARBON FOR ONLY BIG
EMITTERS, NOT ORDINARY
CONSUMERS.
>> WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO THE
MINISTER, I THINK SHE HAS OTHER
PROVINCES SHE HAS A LOT MORE
TROUBLE CONVINCING TO PUT A PLAN
IN PLACE, SO I WOULD SUGGEST TO
HER SHE FOCUS ON THEM.
>> Reporter: THEN THERE IS
P.E.I.
>> WE HAVE A PRINCE EDWARD
ISLAND APPROACH WHICH IS TO
LOWER THE PRICE OF RENEWABLES
AND THAT'S INTERESTING IN TERMS
OF MOTIVATING PEOPLE TO LIVE UP
TO OUR CLIMATE CHANGE
COMMITMENTS.
>> Reporter: BUT, AGAIN, NO
PRICE ON CARBON.
AND THAT FALLS SHORT OF THE
FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT.
SO WHILE ONLY TWO PROVINCES ARE
OPENLY DEFYING OTTAWA IN COURT,
THERE MAY BE OTHERS WHERE OTTAWA
ENDS UP IMPOSING A CARBON TAX.
AND POLITICALLY SOME PREMIERS
MAY PREFER HAVING OTTAWA DO IT
RATHER THAN DOING IT THEMSELVES.
>> Ian: BRITISH COLUMBIA HAS HAD
A CARBON TAX FOR A DECADE AND
THE PROVINCE CALLS IT A SUCCESS.
EMISSIONS ARE DOWN, THE ECONOMY
IS GROWING.
RENEE FILIPPONE TAKES A LOOK AT
THE EFFECT THE TAXES HAD ON
CONSUMERS.
>> Reporter: PETER MILLER BOUGHT
HIS FIRST ELECTRIC CAR FIVE
YEARS AGO.
>> WE'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT
THE ENVIRONMENT.
>> Reporter: HE SAYS PEOPLE NOW
ARE TURNING AWAY FROM GAS TO
SAVE MONEY.
>> THE PRICE OF GAS, I SAID NO
IDEA.
CLOSE TO $1.50 A LITRE, IS IT?
>> Reporter: THAT'S THE GOAL OF
THE CARBON TAX.
MAKE THINGS LIKE DRIVING MORE
EXPENSIVE AND PEOPLE WILL CHANGE
THEIR HABITS.
>> THE CARBON EMISSIONS LEVY WE
PUT IN PLACE --
>> Reporter: A DECADE AGO GORDON
CAMPBELL B.C. LIBERAL PARTY
INTRODUCED THE TAX.
CONTROVERSIAL AT THE TIME, IT
WAS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN
NORTH AMERICA.
>> IT HAS BEEN CLEARLY A
SUCCESS.
>> Reporter: THIS PROFESSOR OF
ECONOMICS BELIEVES THE CARBON
TAX IS AN EFFICIENT WAY TO DEAL
WITH EMISSIONS, BUT ADMITS IT
TAKES TIME TO SEE RESULTS.
>> CONSUMPTION IS DOWN, AND WE
HAVE POPULATION GROWTH, SO IN
THE END, WE'RE NOT SAVING AS
MUCH AS WE WOULD LIKE.
>> Reporter: BETWEEN 2007 BEFORE
THE TAX WAS IMPLEMENTED AND
2015, G.D.P. IN B.C. GREW 17%.
THE PROVINCE SAYS NET EMISSIONS
DROPPED 4.7%.
A DECLINE, BUT FAR FROM THE
ORIGINAL 2007 TARGET.
THE GOAL WAS TO REDUCE EMISSIONS
33% BY 2020.
THE CURRENT N.D.P. GOVERNMENT
ADJUSTED ITS TARGETS THIS SPRING
TO GIVE ITSELF TEN MORE YEARS,
AND INCREASE THE TAX FROM 30 TO
$35 PER TON.
>> ULTIMATELY CARBON PRICING HAS
NOT HAD THE NEGATIVE IMPACT
PREDICTED.
QUITE THE CONTRARY.
>> EVERYTHING FROM THE APPLE YOU
BUY AND EAT TO THE COMPUTER YOU
BUY AND USE, COMES WITH INFLUX
OF ENERGY.
>> Reporter: CRITICS ARGUE FOR
THE TAX TO WORK IT NEEDS TO BE
MUCH HIGHER BUT THAT WOULD DRIVE
AWAY INVESTMENT.
>> VERY HIGH TAX WHICH PEOPLE
WILL NOT TOLERATE, AND WHICH
WILL BE ECONOMICALLY RUINOUS.
SO UNSUSTAINABLE.
>> Reporter: BUT FOR MILLER, A
SELF-DESCRIBED DISRUPTER, HE
SAYS CHANGE IN THE ENVIRONMENT
WILL COME AT A COST.
>> THAT'S THE WHOLE IDEA.
>> Ian: THERE WAS A WELCOME
SURPRISE FOR BEER DRINKERS FROM
NEW BRUNSWICK'S PREMIER.
BRIAN GALLANT SAID IT'S TIME TO
OVERHAUL CROSS PROVINCIAL
BARRIERS ON PURCHASES.
>> I'M DEFINITELY WILLING TO
CHANGE NEW BRUNSWICK'S IMPORT
LEVEL.
>> Reporter: GALLANT SAYS HE'S
WORKING TO BUILD CONSENSUS WITH
HIS COUNTERPARTS.
YOU REMEMBER THAT THE SUPREME
COURT RULED IN THE FREE THE BEER
CASE, ALLOWING THE PROVINCE TO
FINE CONSUMERS FOR EXCEEDING
LIMITS ON ALCOHOL BROUGHT IN
FROM OTHER PROVINCES.
TRADE WITHIN CANADA WAS UP FOR
DISCUSSION IN NEW BRUNSWICK.
THE CROSS BORDER VARIETY WAS ON
THE TABLE IN WASHINGTON.
>> Andrew: IT WAS CRITICAL
HEARING GOING ON WITH HUGE
POTENTIAL EFFECTS ACROSS THIS
COUNTRY.
THE FOCUS, WHETHER AUTO IMPORTS
REPRESENT A THREAT TO AMERICAN
NATIONAL SECURITY AND WHETHER
TARIFFS ARE THE ANSWER.
BUT AS JACQUELINE HANSEN SHOWS
US, OPPOSITION TO THE IDEA WAS
STRONG, EVEN FROM AMERICA'S OWN
AUTO INDUSTRY.
>> Reporter: AMERICAN-MADE
VEHICLES ARRIVED IN THE CAPITAL
THIS MORNING DRIVEN BY THE AUTO
WORKERS WHO BUILT THEM.
>> TARIFFS ON AUTOS AND AUTO
PARTS WILL RAISE COSTSES FOR OUR
CUSTOMERS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
>> Reporter: IT'S PART OF A RARE
COORDINATED ATTEMPT BY
INTERNATIONAL AND U.S. INDUSTRY
PLAYERS TO GET CONGRESS TO SEE
WHAT IS AT STAKE.
IF U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
FOLLOWS THROUGH ON HIS THREAT.
>> THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE
COMPANY THAT I KNOW OF THAT HAS
REQUESTED PROTECTION IN THE FORM
OF TARIFFS.
I'M MYSTIFIED BY THE ARGUMENT
THAT IMPORTED CARS AND IMPORTED
CAR PARTS ARE A THREAT TO THE
NATIONAL SECURITY.
>> Reporter: THE REAL THREAT
MANY SAY IS TO AMERICAN JOBS.
A NEW REPORT SAYS IF A 25%
TARIFF IS IMPOSED ON AUTO
IMPORTS, SALES WOULD DROP BY 2
MILLION AND MORE THAN 700,000
JOBS WOULD BE WIPED OUT.
IT ESTIMATES CONSUMERS WOULD
FACE HIGHER PRICES.
AT TODAY'S HEARING, A
REPRESENTATIVE FOR CANADA SAID
COUNTER-TARIFFS WOULD LIKELY BE
TRIGGERED.
>> THEY'LL RETALIATE AND THAT
MULTIPLY THE COSTS, THE LOSSES.
>> Reporter: CANADIAN PARTS
MANUFACTURER MARTINREA HAS
FACILITIES AROUND THE WORLD, BUT
MOVING PRODUCTION TO AVOID
TARIFFS WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE.
>> THAT'S A RIDICULOUS
PROPOSITION.
THE COST TO DO SOMETHING LIKE
THAT WOULD BE ENORMOUS.
>> Reporter: SOME EXPECT THE
ANTI-TARIFF FIGHT TO GO WELL
BEYOND THE HEARING.
>> IF ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING
THREATENED YOUR BUSINESS AS A
GOING CONCERN, YOU'D TAKE LEGAL
ACTION.
MY EXPECTATION IS THAT IS WHAT
WILL HAPPEN.
>> Reporter: THERE IS HOPE THE
TARIFFS ARE JUST NEGOTIATING
TACTICS AND THAT STRONG
OPPOSITION WILL EVENTUALLY
CHANGE TRUMP'S MIND SO THAT JOBS
THAT COMPANIES LIKE THIS ONE,
STAY SAFE.
>> Andrew: THERE IS CONSENSUS ON
BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER THAT
THE TARIFFS COULD HURT THE
ECONOMY.
HERE'S WHY THE STAKES ARE HIGH
FOR CANADIANS.
MORE THAN 2 MILLION VEHICLES ARE
PRODUCED IN THIS COUNTRY EACH
YEAR.
THAT MAKES CANADA'S AUTOMOTIVE
INDUSTRY THE 8TH LARGEST IN THE
WORLD.
THE AUTO SECTOR ALSO EMPLOYS
MORE THAN HALF A MILLION PEOPLE
HERE AND 160,000 OF THOSE JOBS
COULD DISAPPEAR IF TARIFFS CAME
INTO EFFECT.
>> Ian: LET'S TURN TO PARLIAMENT
HILL WHERE AN N.D.P. M.P. HAS
BEEN CLEARED OF ALLEGATIONS OF
SEXUAL MISCONDUCT.
AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATOR SAYS
CHRISTINE MOORE DID NOTHING
INAPPROPRIATE IN A RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE FORMER SOLDIER.
TOM PARRY HAS REACTION TO THE
REPORT.
>> Reporter: IT WAS N.D.P.
LEADER JAGMEET SINGH WHO ORDERED
THE INVESTIGATION INTO CHRISTINE
MOORE.
TODAY HE ANNOUNCED THE RESULTS.
>> THE INVESTIGATION HAS
CONCLUDED THAT THE ALLEGATIONS
AGAINST MADAME MOORE WERE NOT
SUPPORTED BY THE EVIDENCE.
>> Reporter: A FORMER SOLDIER
AND AFGHAN WAR VETERAN GLEN
KIRKLAND ACCUSED MOORE OF LURING
HIM INTO A SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP
AND HARASSING HIM AFTER HE
APPEARED BEFORE A PARLIAMENTARY
COMMITTEE IN 2013.
MOORE SAYS THEY WERE LOVERS AND
IT WAS HIM WHO APPROACHED HER.
TODAY, SHE EXPRESSED RELIEF AT
THE INVESTIGATION FINDINGS.
>> I NEVER HAVE A DOUBT ABOUT
MYSELF BECAUSE I KNEW THE TRUTH
SINCE THE BEGINNING, SO THAT'S
WHY I'M NOT SURPRISED ABOUT THE
CONCLUSION OF THE INVESTIGATION.
>> Reporter: JAGMEET SINGH CALLS
THE INVESTIGATION THOROUGH.
HE SAYS IT HEARD FROM SEVERAL
WITNESSES, BUT ONE WITNESS IT
DIDN'T HEAR FROM IS GLEN
KIRKLAND.
>> I'VE NEVER GOTTEN AN
OPPORTUNITY TO TELL MY SIDE TO
INVESTIGATOR.
>> Reporter: THE N.D.P. SAYS
KIRKLAND WAS OFFERED A CHANCE TO
SPEAK, BUT TURNED IT DOWN.
KIRKLAND SAYS HIS LAWYER AT
FIRST TOLD HIM NOT TO TALK ABOUT
MOORE, BUT THAT HE LATER TRIED
TO CONTACT THE INVESTIGATOR
ANYWAY.
>> THEY'RE SAYING THAT I DIDN'T
PARTICIPATE, THEY'RE LYING.
BECAUSE WHY WOULD I GIVE A TV
INTERVIEW AND NOT GIVE AN
INTERVIEW TO AN INTERNAL
INVESTIGATOR.
>> Reporter: KIRKLAND SAYS NO
ONE IS DENYING HE AND MOORE HAD
SEX, BUT WITH HER AN M.P. AND
HIM A WITNESS, TO KIRKLAND THERE
WAS IMBALANCE OF POWER.
>> THAT IS THE FUNDAMENTAL
ISSUE.
SHE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HER
AUTHORITY AND POSITION.
IF SHE WAS A MALE M.P., I WAS A
FEMALE SOLDIER, LOOK HOW
DIFFERENTLILY THAT WOULD ACT.
IT WOULD BE A DRAMATIC DIFFERENT
COVERS BETWEEN ME AND YOU.
>> Ian: TOM PARRY JOINS US FROM
OTTAWA.
WHERE DOES THE STORY GO FROM
HERE?
>> Reporter: THE STORY ISN'T
OVER.
GLEN KIRKLAND IS BEING SUED BY
CHRISTINE MOORE FOR LIBEL AND
SLANDER.
MOORE HAS LAUNCHED LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS AGAINST A NUMBER OF
MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS AS WELL,
INCLUDING THE CBC, BUT AS FAR AS
MOORE IS CONCERNED, SHE HAS BEEN
CLEARED.
JAGMEET SINGH, THE N.D.P.
LEADER, TODAY CALLED MOORE A
POWERFUL ADVOCATE FOR WOMEN IN
POLITICS.
HE THANKED HER FOR WHAT HE
CALLED HER COOPERATION AND
PATIENCE DURING THIS
INVESTIGATION AND HE SAID THAT
MOORE WOULD NOW BE ABLE TO
RESUME HER CAUCUS DUTIES WITH
THE N.D.P.
>> Ian: THANKS, TOM.
>> Andrew: FOR THE LATEST
CHAPTER IN AN UNPREDICTABLE SAGA
THAT CONTINUES TO GRIP THE
WORLD.
ALL ABOUT THAT RELATIONSHIP OF
TWO POWERFUL LEADERS.
TODAY, "TIME" SHOWED DONALD
TRUMP MORPHING INTO VLADIMIR
PUTIN AND THEN MELDED THEIR
FACES INTO ONE, TO ARRIVE AT THE
LATEST COVER.
QUITE A STATEMENT AS THE WORLD
WONDERS HOW MUCH THEIR INTERESTS
ARE ALIGNED.
FOR A FEW DAYS, TRUMP TRIED TO
COUNTER THAT IMAGE TO SOME
DEGREE BUT THEN TODAY, ANOTHER
STARTLING MOVE.
ELLEN MAURO SHOWS US WHO WAS
CAUGHT BY SURPRISE.
>> THE WHITE HOUSE HAS ANNOUNCED
ON TWITTER THAT VLADIMIR PUTIN
IS COMING TO THE WHITE HOUSE IN
THE FALL.
>> SAY THAT AGAIN?
[LAUGHTER]
>> Reporter: YOU MIGHT EXPECT
THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL
INTELLIGENCE TO BE INFORMED OF
THE INVITE, TO MAYBE EVEN TAKE
PART IN THE DECISION.
>> OK.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Reporter: BUT DAN COATS WAS
CLEARLY BLIND SIDED.
>> THAT'S GOING TO BE SPECIAL.
>> Reporter: HIS SHOCK IS
UNDERSTANDABLE.
REMEMBER THIS.
>> HE JUST SAID IT'S NOT RUSSIA,
I WILL SAY THIS, I DON'T SEE ANY
REASON IT WOULD BE.
>> Reporter: THE FALLOUT FROM
THAT STATEMENT RAGES ON EVEN
THOUGH PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS TRIED
TO WALK IT BACK.
>> SAID THE WORD WOULD INSTEAD
OF WOULDN'T.
>> Reporter: AND TODAY, MORE
MIXED MESSAGING, JUST BEFORE
ANNOUNCING THE INVITE, THE
ADMINISTRATION BACKED AWAY FROM
A PUTIN PROPOSAL TO ALLOW U.S.
INVESTIGATORS ACCESS TO RUSSIANS
CHARGED WITH ELECTION MEDDLING
IN EXCHANGE FOR HANDING OVER
U.S. OFFICIALS TO RUSSIA FOR
QUESTIONING, INCLUDING FORMER
AMBASSADOR MICHAEL McFAUL.
TRUMP APPLAUDED THE IDEA.
>> I THINK IT'S AN INCREDIBLE
OFFER.
>> WHAT I WAS FLABBERGASTED BY,
THE WHITE HOUSE WOULD NOT DEFEND
ME.
I'M AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
>> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT WAS
PANNED IN THE SENATE TODAY FOR
NOT BEING HARDER ON PUTIN.
>> WE DO NOT BUY THE DENIAL OF
VLADIMIR PUTIN.
WE REGRET THAT OUR PRESIDENT
DID.
>> Reporter: BUT REPUBLICAN
LEADERS REFUSED TO ALLOW A VOTE
ON A RESOLUTION REASSERTING THAT
RUSSIA MEDDLED IN THE ELECTION.
>> IN HELSINKI, HE WAS LESS THAN
CLEAR ABOUT THAT, BUT HE CAME
BACK AND SAID THAT HE MISSPOKE
AND REAFFIRMED HIS EARLIER
POSITION THAT, YES, THE RUSSIAN
GOVERNMENT HAD ATTEMPTED TO
INTERFERE IN THE ELECTION.
>> Reporter: THAT'S WHAT MAKES
THE INVITE TO PRESIDENT PUTIN SO
UNUSUAL.
A MAN THAT EVEN PRESIDENT TRUMP
NOW SAYS INTERFERED IN U.S.
DEMOCRACY, INVITED TO THE WHITE
HOUSE.
A MOVE THAT WILL ONLY FUEL
FURTHER CURIOSITY ABOUT WHAT THE
TWO LEADERS DISCUSSED FOR MORE
THAN TWO HOURS IN THAT
CLOSED-DOOR MEETING.
ELLEN MAURO, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Andrew: ELLEN MENTIONED
FORMER AMBASSADOR MICHAEL McFAUL
AS SOMEONE PRESIDENT PUTIN
WANTED TO INTERVIEW.
YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM
ANOTHER IN A MOMENT.
BILL BROWDER WAS CALLED OUT BY
NAME AS SOMEONE PUTIN WANTS HIS
AGENTS TO QUESTION IN RUSSIA.
IN POST-SOVIET RUSSIA, BROWDER
WAS A HUGE FOREIGN INVESTOR, BUT
CORRUPT OFFICIALS SYPHONED OFF
HIS HOLDINGS BECAUSE HE REFUSED
TO PAY BRIBES.
LAWYER, SERGEI MAGNITSKY
UNCOVERED THAT MONEY TRAIL, WAS
ARRESTED AND DIED IN A RUSSIAN
JAIL.
SINCE THEN, BROWDER STRUCK BACK.
HE'S CHAMPIONED THE MAGNITSKY
AC.
IT LETS THE SANCTIONS OF IN
RUSSIA.
WE HAVE AGREED TO NOT DISCLOSE
BILL BROWEDERS LOCATION, BECAUSE
THE WHITE HOUSE HAS SUGGESTED
THEY WILL NOT HAND YOU OVER TO
THE RUSSIANS FOR QUESTIONING.
WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE YOU?
>> NOT THAT MUCH IN A DIFFERENT
PLACE BEFORE, WHICH IS MORE MANY
YEARS, I'VE BEEN PUTIN'S NUMBER
ONE ENEMY AND AS SUCH, HE'S
WANTED TO CAUSE ME HARM, TO KILL
ME, TO KIDNAP ME, TO EXTRADITE
ME BACK TO RUSSIA.
I'VE BEEN A RELATIVE PRECARIOUS
POSITION AND I HAVE TO DO
WHATEVER I CAN TO SAVE FACE AND
I TRY NOT TO GIVE THEM
OPPORTUNITIES.
BUT OF COURSE, IT IS NOT
PLEASANT TO HAVE THE PRESIDENT
MAKING DIRTY DEALS IN THE
BACKROOM WITH NO WITNESSES WITH
VLADIMIR PUTIN ABOUT ME.
>> Andrew: WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO LEAVE IT THERE, BUT BILL
BROWDER, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
SPEAKING TO US.
>>> SOME OF THE OTHER DEVELOPING
STORIES WE'RE FOLLOWING TONIGHT,
INCLUDING A DISTURBING CASE
OUTSIDE TORONTO INVOLVING THE
ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A
FIVE-YEAR-OLD.
>> WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THE
BOTTOM OF THIS AS FAST AS
POSSIBLE.
WE'RE GLAD WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE
THE ARREST TODAY, BECAUSE OF HOW
BIG A DEAL THIS IS.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THIS
HAPPENED TO A 5-YEAR-OLD.
>> Reporter: POLICE REACTION
AFTER THE YOUNG BOY WAS FOUND
UNCONSCIOUS WITH
LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES NEAR A
SET OF TRAIN TRACKS IN THE
BRAMPTON.
HE HAD GONE MISSING FROM HIS
HOME OVERNIGHT.
A 28-YEAR-OLD MAN HAS BEEN
CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER.
POLICE WOULDN'T SAY HOW HE KNEW
THE BOY, BUT NEIGHBOURS TOLD CBC
NEWS, HE'S THE MOTHER'S
BOYFRIEND.
THE BOY IS IN HOSPITAL IN STABLE
CONDITION.
>>> QUÉBEC POLICE OFFICER
PATRICK OUELLET WAS FOUND GUILTY
TODAY OR DANGEROUS DRIVING
CAUSING THE DEATH OF A
5-YEAR-OLD BOY.
DURING A CHASE, HE WAS DRIVING
100 KILOMETRES PER HOUR IN A 50
KILOMETRE-PER-HOUR ZONE WHEN HE
SLAMMED INTO A CAR WITH TWO
CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEAT.
5-YEAR-OLD NICHOLAS
THORNE-BELANCE WAS CRITICALLY
INJURED AND DIED DAYS LATER IN
HOSPITAL.
FLIGHT ATTENDA
PATRICK OUELLET FUSE IF A ISES
UP TO -- FACES UP TO 14 YEARS IN
PRISON.
>> Ian: WHO IS ALLOWED TO PLAY
WHAT ROLE?
WE BREAK IT DOWN WITH OUR POP
CULTURE PANEL.
>> Andrew: MULTIPLE WILDFIRES
BURNING OUT OF CONTROL IN THE
OKANAGAN REGION.
WE'LL SHOW YOU THE RACE TO
CONTAIN THEM.
>> Ian: THE SENATE SAYS THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OWES HUNDREDS
OF THOUSANDS OF WOMEN AND
CHILDREN AN APOLOGY AFTER WHAT
ARE NOW CALLED FORCED ADOPTIONS.
WE'LL BRING YOU ONE WOMAN'S
STORY.
>> SHE WAS NEVER IN MY LIFE.
I NEVER GOT TO CELEBRATE A
BIRTHDAY WITH HER, OR HAVE A
CHRISTMAS WITH HER.
IT'S A TRAGEDY.
AND IT JUST GOES O
>> TO DATE, THERE HAS NOT BEEN
AN OFFICIAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT BY
ANY LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT IN
CANADA OF THE PRESSURES THAT
WERE PUT ON UNMARRIED PREGNANT
WOMEN TO SURRENDER THEIR BABIES
FOR ADOPTION AND THE PAIN AND
HUMILIATION IT HAS CAUSED THEM.
>> Andrew: BETWEEN 1945 AND
1971, AN ESTIMATED 350,000
CANADIAN WOMEN WERE FORCED TO
GIVE UP THEIR BABIES FOR
ADOPTION, SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY
WEREN'T MARRIED.
OTTAWA EVEN HELPED FUND
MATERNITY HOMES, WHERE WOMEN
WERE SENT TO HIDE THEIR
PREGNANCIES AND TODAY, SENATORS
CALLED THAT A SHAMEFUL PERIOD IN
CANADIAN HISTORY.
THEY'RE ASKING THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO FORMALLY APOLOGIZE
TO THE VICTIMS, PAY FOR
COUNSELLING AND CALL ON
PROVINCES AND TERRITORIES TO
MAKE IT EASIER TO RELEASE
ADOPTION FILES.
THE LIBERALS DON'T HAVE TO
ACCEPT THE SENATE
RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT MANY HOPE
THEY DO.
INCLUDING ANNETTE MARIE STOKES.
SHE STILL CAN'T ERASE THE TRAUMA
OF BEING FORCED TO GIVE UP HER
BABY.
>> I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN 1965 IN
MARCH.
AND SHE WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM ME
IMMEDIATELY.
AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS, I'M
WATCHING ALL THE OTHER MOTHERS
WITH THEIR BABIES AND I SAID,
WELL, WHERE IS MINE?
I SAID I WANT TO SEE HER, I WANT
TO FEED HER.
AND THEY WOULDN'T -- THEY BOUND
YOUR BREASTS WITH CLOTH SO THAT
YOU WOULDN'T BOND WITH THE
CHILD.
IT WAS A COLLECTION OF DIFFERENT
PEOPLE.
IT WAS THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
IT WAS CHILDREN'S AID THEY
COERCED ME INTO WRITING --
SIGNING A DOCUMENT THAT
RELINQUISH
RELINQUISHED HER.
AND THEY SAID THE AFFECTS OF
THIS WOULD BE SIMILAR TO IF I
HAD A PET DOG AND IT WAS RUN
OVER BY A CAR.
AND I JUST TO THIS DAY, I'LL
NEVER FORGET THAT STATEMENT THAT
WOMAN MADE.
>> THE TRAUMA IS SEVERE.
YOU'RE IN A VACUUM.
IT'S AS IF YOU'RE IN A VACUUM.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF I EVER CAME
OUT OF THAT VACUUM NOW THAT I'M
THINKING ABOUT IT.
IT WAS JUST HORRENDOUS.
I NEVER HAD ANY OTHER CHILDREN.
AND MANY OF THESE MOTHERS NEVER
HAD ANY OTHER CHILDREN AFTER THE
ONE.
>> THE APOLOGY IS AN
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, IT'S SAYING
WE -- THIS WAS WRONG, WE KNOW IT
WAS WRONG.
IT'S JUST A WHOLE CHAPTER OF MY
LIFE THAT IS GONE.
IT'S GONE.
THEY'VE TAKEN YOUR LIFE AWAY
REALLY BASICALLY WHEN THEY TOOK
THAT CHILD AWAY FROM ME.
>> Andrew: AS WE MENTIONED,
ANNETTE IS ONE OF 350,000
CANADIAN POST WAR WOMEN WHO GAVE
BABIES UP FOR ADOPTION.
DO THE MATH, IT MEANT MORE THAN
1,000 CASES PER MONTH DURING
THAT 27-YEAR PERIOD.
STILL AHEAD ON "THE NATIONAL", A
VOLATILE SITUATION IN B.C. AS
WILDFIRES RIP ACROSS THE
OKANAGAN.
>> Ian: EXTREME RHETORIC CALLS
FOR EXTREME PARODY, OR DOES IT?
>> HIS LUNCH BOX, PUSH IT INTO
HIS TUMMY LIKE THIS.
JUST REMEMBER TO POINT PUPPY
PISTOL'S MOUTH AT THE MIDDLE OF
THE BAD MAN.
IF HE HAS A BIG FAT TUMMY, POINT
AT THAT.
>> Reporter: SACHA BARON COHEN'S
LATEST SHOW, IS IT FUNNY OR
FRIGHTENING?
OUR POP CUL
>> Ian: IT'S NOT JUST THE MANY
FACES OF ACTOR SACHA BARON
COHEN -- IT'S THE REACTIONS HIS
CHARACTERS GET FROM REAL PEOPLE
AND THE FAMOUS.
>> CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN?
I'M TRYING HARD BECAUSE HE KEEPS
TELLING ME ABOUT BUYING A SLAVE,
WE DON'T DO THAT.
>> I'M JUST DANCING.
>> Ian: NOW COHEN IS BACK WITH
FOUR NEW CHARACTERS.
HIS FAMOUS FACE EVEN MORE
DISGUISED.
HIS GUESTS UNAWARE THEY'RE PART
OF AN ELABORATE PRANK TO GET
THEM TO SAY OUTRAGEOUS THINGS
THAT MAY -- KEEP THAT IN MIND --
REFLECT AN EXTREME VERSION OF
THEIR VIEWS.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO HELP YOU DO A
INSTRUCTION VIDEO FOR
3-YEAR-OLDS.
>> JUST REMEMBER TO APPOINTMENT
THE PISTOL'S MOUTH AT THE MIDDLE
OF THE BAD MAN.
>> Ian: THIS IS BRILLIANT,
SATIRE, COMEDY, PRANKSTER, WE'RE
GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT.
STEPHEN MARCHE, AND BEE QUAMMIE.
PRANKSTER.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> HE IS A PRANKSTER REALLY.
HIS WHOLE SCHTICK HE'S GOING
COME IN AND MANIPULATE THIS
IMAGE AND CONVINCE PEOPLE TO SAY
EXTREME THINGS.
MY PROBLEM IS THESE EXTREME
VIEWS ARE REAL.
IN THIS CLIMATE WE'RE IN, THERE
IS A LOT OF FAKE NEWS, A LOT OF
OUTRAGE, THERE IS VALUE IN
PUTTING A MIRROR UP AGAINST THE
VIEWS THAT ARE EXTREME.
JOKING ABOUT CHILDREN ARMED IN
SCHOOLS IS NOT REALLY A JOKE
AFTER THE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS WE'VE
SEEN, BUT THESE REPUBLICAN
POLITICIANS ARE WILLINGLY
CELEBRATING THIS IDEA AND I
THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT
SHOULD BE GIVING US PAUSE.
AND IT'S NOT.
>> Ian: PEOPLE WATCHING MAY
THINK THERE IS NO WAY TO
DISAGREE WITH THAT?
>> I DEFINITELY DISAGREE WITH
THAT, THE THING ABOUT SACHA
BARON COHEN, HE'S A GENIUS AND
THIS SHOW CAPTURES THAT.
ONE OF THE GREATSEST CLOWNS.
BUT WHAT HE DOES IS UNNECESSARY
RIGHT NOW AND IT'S KIND OF
DESTRUCTIVE.
WHAT HE DOES IS MUDDY THE WATERS
AND SHOW A PARODY VIEW OF
POLITICIANS AND SHOWS HAD YOU
CAN MANIPULATE IMAGES TO MAKE
PEOPLE SAY, WE ALREADY KNOW
THAT, WE ALREADY LIVED THROUGH
ALL OF THAT.
COMEDY IS THE FAKE NEWS OF THE
WEST.
WHERE YOU GET THIS KIND OF LINE
BETWEEN WHAT IS JUST
ENTERTAINMENT AND WHAT IS ACTUAL
NEWS BLURRED.
>> Ian: FAKE NEWS, THOSE ARE
FIGHTING WORDS AROUND HERE.
I MEAN, COMEDY IS NOT FAKE NEWS,
COMEDY IS COMEDY.
>> BUT PEOPLE GO TO COMEDY FOR
NEWS AND THEY GO TO COMEDY FOR
POLITICAL OPINIONS AND GET THEIR
POLITICAL OPINIONS CONFIRMED.
AND THEY'RE GOING IN THE CONTEXT
OF EXTREME MANIPULATION OF
IMAGE.
I WOULD SAY TO MAKE REPUBLICANS
SAY INSANE THINGS, YOU DON'T
NEED ELABORATE RUSES.
YOU CAN READ THEM IN THE "WALL
STREET JOURNAL", WHERE THEY SAY,
THERE SHOULD BE NO PAPER MONEY
IN THE WORLD.
LIKE, TO MAKE A PARODY ACTUALLY
DIMINISHES WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
AND TAKES AWAY WHAT WE REALLY
NEED RIGHT NOW.
IT'S NOT MORE PARODY, WE NEED
CLARITY.
>> Ian: I WANT TO PLAY A CLIP
FROM THE OTHER JOE WALSH, FORMER
CONGRESSMAN FROM ILLINOIS, A
RADIO HOST AND HERE'S AN EXCERPT
OF WHAT HE SAID ON THE SHOW.
>> THE INTENSIVE THREE-WEEK
KINDERGARTEN COURSE INTRODUCES
SPECIALLY SELECTED CHILDREN FROM
12 TO 4 YEARS OLD TO PISTOLS,
RIFLES, SEMI-AUTOMATICS AND A
RUDIMENTARY KNOWLEDGE OF
MORTARS.
>> Ian: BEE, YOUR REACTION?
>> IT WAS JUST REALLY DIFFICULT
TO WATCH.
AND REALLY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO
FIND THE COMEDY OR THE LEVIT IN
IT.
ON ONE HAND I'M THINKING ABOUT
THE IDEA OF MICHELLE OBAMA'S
QUOTE, WHEN THEY GO LOW, WE GO
HIGH.
WITH A SHOW LIKE THIS, YOU DON'T
NEED TO STOOP TO THAT LEVEL OF
RIDICULOUSNESS TO MAKE A POINT.
I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT 100%.
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO FIGHT FIRE
WITH FIRE AND THAT IS WHAT I
THINK SACHA BARON COHEN THINKS
HE'S DOING, BUT LIKE STEVE SAID,
RIGHT NOW IT'S DETRIMENTAL.
IT'S HOPELESS.
IT'S NOT A TIME WHERE YOU CAN
WATCH SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND
TURN OFF THE TV AND LAUGH ABOUT
HOW RIDICULOUS IT IS.
BECAUSE YOU CAN OPEN THE PAPER
AND READ SOMETHING RIDICULOUS
THAT IS HAPPENING IN REAL LIFE.
SACHA BARON COHEN, HIS COMEDY
AND WHAT HE'S TRYING TO DO HAS
NOT REALLY CHANGED AND IT'S NOT
A SLIGHT TO HIM SAYING HE HASN'T
EVOLVED, BUT THE WORLD HAS
CHANGED.
SO IT'S NOT FITTING THE WAY IT
USED TO FIT.
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW YOU LOOK AT
SOMETHING LIKE THIS, THESE JOKES
ABOUT CHILDREN CARRYING GUNS AND
IT'S LIKE DESPAIR, HOPELESSNESS.
>> Ian: I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU
ON THIS, JOE WALSH, HE SAYS ON
CNN THAT HE WAS DUPED HERE.
THAT WHAT HAPPENED WAS, HE GOT A
CALL, HE WAS GOING TO GET AN
AWARD FROM ISRAEL IN WASHINGTON,
HE FLEW -- YOU'RE LOOKING
SKEPTICAL.
HE FLEW FROM CHICAGO --
>> THIS IS A GROWN MAN.
>> SO HE FLEW FROM CHICAGO TO
WASHINGTON AND GOT THE AWARD AND
WAS PUT IN FRONT OF THE
TELEPROMPTER AND SAID A BUNCH OF
COMPLIMENTARY THINGS ABOUT
ISRAEL, A COUNTRY HE SUPPORTS
AND THEY SLIPPED THIS IN.
SO I FEEL LIKE I'M NOT
CONVINCING YOU.
DOES THAT CHANGE ANYTHING --
WELL IT WAS AN ELABORATE RUSE,
DOES THAT SOFTEN THE OUTRAGE?
>> THESE ARE -- IT JUST MAKES ME
SAD THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT SMART
EAR.
THEY'RE RUNNING POLLS THAT
AFFECT PEOPLE'S LIVES AND MAKING
DECISIONS ON BEHALF OF PEOPLE
WHO ELECTED THEM.
SO IF THEY'RE JUST WILLING TO
PLAY INTO THIS ELABORATE RUSE,
IT CAN'T HAVE BEEN THAT
ELABORATE.
>> I SORT OF THINK IT'S LIKE
WHAT BEE SAID.
WERE YOU THINKING LIKE OH THIS
GUY HAS A LOT OF INTEGRITY AND
HE'S REALLY GOING TO CAREFULLY
SCRUTINIZE WHAT HE'S READING ON
A TELEPROMPTER BEFORE HE SAYS
IT.
THAT'S NOT WHAT ANY POLITICIAN
REALLY, IN 2018, THAT'S NOT WHAT
WE THINK ABOUT.
HE'S MAKING FUN OF OUR
ANTIQUATED IDEAS WE USED TO HAVE
ABOUT RESPECT FOR PUBLIC
FIGURES.
>> Ian: WE'RE GOING TO SWITCH
TOPICS, HOW CHARMING DWAYNE
JOHNSON IS, THE ROCK, AND I'M
GOING TO ASK YOU TO MAKE A
CHOICE HERE OF YOUR FAVOURITE
ROLE.
MAUI IN DISNEY, LUKE IN FAST AND
FURIOUS AND THE TOOTH FAIRY.
>> WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE?
>> LUKE HOBBS.
THAT'S MY FAVE.
>> WHY?
>> I JUST -- I DON'T KNOW, HE'S
JUST MADE FOR THE ROLE.
>> WHEN THIS WHOLE THING IS
OVER, WE'RE GOING TO FIND A
LOCATION AND I'M GOING TO KNOCK
YOUR TEETH SO FAR DOWN YOUR
THROAT, YOUR GOING TO STICK A
TOOTHBRUSH UP YOUR ASS TO FIND
IT.
>> YOU LIKE THE ROCK?
>> I'M NOT BUYING TICKETS TO HIS
MOVIE.
>> THERE ARE QUESTIONS WHO WILL
BUY TICKETS TO SKYSCRAPER, WHERE
HE PLAYS SOMEONE WHO LOST A LIMB
AND THERE IS CONTROVERSY ABOUT
WHETHER SOMEONE WHO HASN'T HAD
AN AMPUTATION SHOULD BE PLAYING
THAT ROLE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?
>> THE DISCUSSION AROUND
INCLUSION AND REPRESENTATION IN
HOLLYWOOD IS AT A FEVER PITCH.
THERE WAS THE OSCARS SO WHITE
CAMPAIGN THAT PUSHED THINGS
FORWARD AND GIVEN MORE ROOM FOR
PEOPLE TO HAVE A VOICE.
SO IT'S NOT SURPRISING TO ME
THAT RIGHT NOW THE COMMUNITIES
OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ARE
LOOKING AT THIS MOVIE AND THIS
ROLE AND THINKING THIS IS NOT A
GOOD IDEA.
IT'S INTERESTING THAT DWAYNE
JOHNSON, HE'S PARTNERED WITH AN
ADVOCACY GROUP AROUND GETTING
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES MORE
RECOGNITION IN HOLLYWOOD AND
THEN TAKES THIS ROLE.
I THINK IN HOLLYWOOD SOMETIMES
TO BREAK THAT STATUS QUO THERE
IS AN IDEA, WE NEED A BIG STAR
TO BREAK THIS SUMMER MOVIE AND I
GET THAT.
BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE AN
ADVOCATE, HOW ARE YOU USING YOUR
POWER TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE AND
OPEN DOORS FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE
THAT REPRESENTATION?
I UNDERSTAND ACTORS WANT TO ACT
AND THEY WANT THE CHALLENGE, BUT
WE'RE MISSING SOMETHING
AUTHENTIC WHEN WE'RE NOT OPENING
THE DOORS FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVED
THOSE EXPERIENCES TO BRING THAT
IN.
>> Ian: IN THE SOCIAL MEDIA
REACTION TO THIS, THERE WAS SOME
PEOPLE WHO TOOK THAT VIEW AND
TOOK IT IN A STRIDENT WAY, BUT
THERE ARE ALSO PEOPLE WHO SOME
OF WHO HAD DISABILITIES AND WHO
SAID THAT, ONE IN PARTICULAR I
REMEMBER SEEING WHERE A YOUNG
PERSON SAID I WAS JUST THRILLED
TO SEE DWAYNE JOHNSON PLAYING
THAT ROLE AND MADE ME FEEL GOOD.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> IT'S SUCH A FINE LINE.
BECAUSE I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THESE
REPRESENTATION QUESTIONS ARE
VERY REAL AND THEY'RE VERY
THORNY AND PROBLEMATIC, BUT
ULTIMATELY ACTING IS ABOUT
BECOMING ANOTHER PERSON.
AND MAKEUP IS NOT ALL BLACK
FACED.
IT'S NOT -- WHERE DOES THIS END?
WHERE IS THE LINE?
ARE WE GOING TO GET TO A POINT
WHERE YOUNG ACTORS SHOULDN'T
PLAY OLD ACTORS BECAUSE THAT'S
AGEISM?
I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T THINK THERE IS A CLEAR
ANSWER TO ME.
I WOULD SAY THAT LIKE, YOU KNOW,
FOR SOME REASON THIS DIDN'T COME
UP WITH FURY ROAD.
MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE IT WAS A
FUTURISTIC THING, BUT ON THE
OTHER HAND, AT WHAT POINT ARE
REMISING THE POINT OF -- WE
MISSING THE POINT OF ACTING,
WHICH IS TO INHABIT THE LIFE OF
ANOTHER PERSON.
WHICH IS INHERENTLY A PROBLEM
PROPOSITION AND ONE WITH POWER
PROBLEMS.
AND ARE WE GOING TO ABANDON THAT
WHOLE PROCESS IN THE PURSUIT OF
SOME KIND OF RECONCILIATION THAT
MAY NOT HAPPEN.
>> Ian: LAST WORD TO YOU.
>> I THINK THE PROBLEM IS THAT
THERE IS SUCH POWER IN MEDIA,
MOVIES, TELEVISION, TO SHAPE A
CULTURE AND HOW PEOPLE FEEL
INCLUDED IN A CULTURE, AND SO
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE
AUTHENTIC REPRESENTATION.
SO I THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD
FIRST STEP THAT DWAYNE JOHNSON
IS ACTUALLY ENGAGING ON THE
ISSUES WHILE TAKING THE ROLE.
AND I KNOW PEOPLE HAVE AN ISSUE
WITH HIM TAKING THE ROLE TO
START WITH, BUT WHAT I WOULD
LIKE TO SEE NEXT IS WORK BEHIND
THE SCENES AND ANOTHER FILM THAT
COMES OUT SOON, WHERE THERE
REALLY IS AN ACTOR WITH AN
AUTHENTIC DIFFERENCE OF ABILITY
THAT IS IN THE ROLE PLAYING THE
CHARACTER AND THEN MAYBE THIS
CONVERSATION WITH FACILITATE
THAT MACHINATION BEHIND THE
SCENES.
>> THE ROCK IS THE BIGGEST STAR
IN THE WORLD.
>> NO, BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE AN
INDEPENDENT ART HOUSE EITHER.
IT SHOULD BE A LARGE MOVIE HOUSE
THAT HAS GOT REAL FINANCIAL
BACKING.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THE BLACK
BLACK -- BLOCKBUSTER OF THE
SUMMER.
>> YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A
BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE WITH A PERSON
WITH A DISABILITY.
>> IT'S DOESN'T MATTER YET IT'S
A BLOCKBUSTER, IT JUST MATTERS
WE'RE HAVING THE CONVERSATION
AND THAT THIS MOVIE IS A
LEGITIMATE MOVIE PEOPLE WANT TO
SEE.
MAYBE IT DOES HAVE A STAR ACTOR
IN IT AS WELL, BUT ALSO A
BREAKOUT ROLE.
>> Ian: I FEEL I'VE LOST CONTROL
OF THE TIME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS ON THE
PROGRAMME.
WE DIDN'T GET TO YOU TALKING
ABOUT CHER.
>> Andrew: NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL", THIS SUMMER A GROWING
NUMBER OF CANADIANS ARE
DISCOVERING THERE IS TROUBLE IN
THE GREAT OUTDOORS AND YOU MIGHT
WANT TO BE PREPARED.
>> YOU GET SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE
JUST WALKING IN AND THEY LOOK
PERFECTLY FINE, BUT THEY HAVE
IT.
AND THEN YOU GET OTHER PEOPLE
COMING IN A WHEELCHAIR.
>> Andrew: FIRST, A PREVIEW OF A
SHORT DOC YOU CAN WATCH
TOMORROW.
WE'LL INTRODUCE TO YOU FIVE GUYS
WHO SAY WHEN THEY WALK DOWN THE
STREET, THEY GET STARES,
WHISPERS, LAUGHS, STRANGERS EVEN
SNAPPED PICTURES, ALL BECAUSE OF
THEIR DOGS.
>> WHAT IS THAT?
>> THEY'RE NOT REAL DOGS.
THEY'RE NOT REAL DOGS.
ANYTHING SMALLER THAN LIKE A LAB
IS NOT A REAL DOG.
>> BE NICE.
>> HE MUST BE A SWEET GUY VERSUS
A BIG BIKER TYPE GUY.
>> IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST BITE.
I SAID BITE, RIGHT?
>> WHEN I SEE A LARGE MAN
WALKING A SMALL DOG I FEEL IT'S
BECAUSE HE HAS TO TAKE CARE OF
IT FOR HIS GIRLFRIEND.
>> NORMALLY I THINK IT'S
SOMEBODY LOOKING TO PICK UP
WOMEN.
>> I THINK IT'S PROBABLY HIS
GIRLFRIEND'S, WHY WOULD A LARGER
MAN HAVE A SMALL DOG?
>> A BIG TOUGH WITH A LITTLE
POODLE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT,
PEOPLE START TO THINK OF THE BIG
GUYS AS TOUGH AND WHAT NOT.
SOMETIMES THEY JUST WANT TO ROLL
AROUND WITH A CUTE LITTLE PUPPY
OR WHATEVER.
>> HE WAS AN INNOCENT VICTIM, HE
WAS AN INNOCENT PERSON.
AND I UNDERSTAND THIS IS VERY
IMPORTANT TO THE COMMUNITY.
>> Andrew: POLICE IN SURREY B.C.
REVEAL THE BRAZEN SHOOTING OF A
47-YEAR-OLD FATHER OF TWO WAS A
CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
PAUL BENNETT WAS SHOT TO DEATH
IN BROAD DAYLIGHT RIGHT ON HIS
DRIVEWAY.
TODAY, HIS FAMILY MADE AN
EMOTIONAL APPEAL FOR HELP IN
TRACKING DOWN THE KILLER.
>> WE NEVER THOUGHT HE WOULD DIE
IN SUCH A SENSELESS AND VIOLENT
WAY.
WE'RE GRIEVING AND TRAUMATIZED
BY THIS LOSS.
>> Andrew: ONE POTENTIAL LEAD IN
THE CASE IS SURVEILLANCE VIDEO
OF A SILVER HONDA CIVIC LEAVING
THE AREA AFTER THE SHOOTING.
POLICE ARE ASKING ANYONE WITH
KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE CAR TO
CONTACT THEM.
>>> FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE
SOUTH KOREAN GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN
HELD FINANCIALLY LIABLE FOR A
2014 FERRY DISASTER.
IT WAS ORDERED BY A COURT TODAY
TO COMPENSATE VICTIMS' FAMILIES,
ABOUT 700,000 PER VICTIM.
304 PEOPLE, MANY OF THEM YOUNG
STUDENTS WERE KILLED WHEN THE
FERRY SANK.
IT EMERGED LATER THAT THE FERRY
WAS OVERLOADED AND THE RESCUE
OPERATION BOTCHED.
>>> LOOK AT THAT.
DRAMATIC VIDEO FROM MANHATTAN.
THAT STEAM SHOOTING OUT OF THE
GROUND AFTER A PIPE EXPLODED.
ITS FORCE SO STRONG, IT SENT
CHUNKS OF CONCRETE FLYING.
NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT 49
BUILDINGS HAD TO BE EVACUATED
AFTER AUTHORITIES FOUND THAT THE
BUSTED PIPE CONTAINED ASBESTOS.
>> THERE WAS DISAPPOINTMENT AND
RELIEF TODAY AT THE OPENING OF
AN ANCIENT SARCOPHAGUS IN EGYPT.
IT WAS FOUND IN A CONSTRUCTION
SITE AND THERE WERE HOPES IT
CONTAINED REMAINS OF ALEXANDER
THE GREAT.
THAT WAS NOT THE CASE.
BUT ON THE PLUS SIDE, MEDIA
FEARS THAT DISTURBING THE TOMB
COULD PLUNGE THE WORLD INTO
DARKNESS.
THAT APPEARS TO BE UNFOUNDED.
>> Ian: IT IS TICK SEASON.
THE BLOOD SUCKING PESTS CAN
CARRY LYME DISEASE AND IT SEEMS
A NUMBER OF CANADIANS ARE
DIAGNOSED.
PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCY OF CANADA
REPORTED 144 CASES IN 2009.
AS OF OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR THE
NUMBER HAD SPIKED TO NEARLY 1500
REPORTED CASES.
NOW, THAT COULD MEAN THERE ARE
MORE DISEASE-CARRYING TICKS OR
IT COULD MEAN THERE IS BETTER
AWARENESS AND TESTING, BUT AS
KAYLA HOUNSELL SHOWS US, IT'S
GOT PEOPLE ON NOVA SCOTIA'S
SOUTH SHORE TAKING EXTRA
PRECAUTIONS.
>> Reporter: WHEN CALEB PLAYS
WITH HIS DOG IN THE WOODS NEAR
HIS HOME THERE, IS A GOOD CHANCE
SHE'LL COME IN WITH TICKS, BUT
THE DAY WE VISITED, SO DID HE.
>> IT WAS ON THE INSIDE,
EMBEDDED QUITE GOOD.
JUST THE TINIEST THING, LOOKED
LIKE A SPECK OF DIRT.
>> Reporter: SHE TOOK HER SON TO
THE DOCTOR BECAUSE SHE KNOWS THE
TINY ONES ARE THE SCARY ONES.
THE ONES THAT CARRY LYME
DISEASE.
TICK TOCK IS COMMON AROUND HERE.
THE CLIMATE IS PERFECT FOR THE
PESKY PARASITES.
IT'S ALSO A STOPOVER FOR
MIGRATORY BIRDS THAT MAY BE
BRINGING HITCHHIKERS WITH THEM.
>> I THINK SOUTH SHORE OF NOVA
SCOTIA PROBABLY WINS THE
CANADIAN YOU HAVE TICKS CONTEST
WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY A
CONTEST YOU WANT TO WIN.
>> Reporter: THIS COUPLE BOTH
HAVE LYME DISEASE.
IT CAN CAUSE A RANGE OF
SYMPTOMS, INCLUDING A RASH THAT
LOOKS LIKE A BULLSEYE, FEVER,
HEADACHES AND JOINT PAIN.
>> I COULDN'T MOVE MY LEGS AT
ALL.
IT HURT A LOT.
>> Reporter: IT PROMPTED THEIR
MOTHER TO TAKE MATTERS INTO
THEIR OWN HANDS.
SHE'S DEVELOPING A NATURAL TICK
SPRAY TO PROTECT HER SON AND HER
NEIGHBOURS.
>> HONESTLY ALMOST EVERY
HOUSEHOLD I'VE BEEN ON THE
STREET HAS HAD LYME, NO ONE WHO
HAS LYME.
HAS A FRIEND WHO HAS LYME.
EVERYBODY IS EFFECTED BY IT.
>> SHE IS WORKING WITH
RESEARCHERS AT ACADIA
UNIVERSITY.
>> I'M GOING TO TAKE FIVE OF
THEM.
>> Reporter: PLACING TICKS IN
THE CENTRE OF THE PETRI DISH,
THE INNER RING IS TREATED WITH
THE TICK SPRAY.
IF THEY DON'T CROSS IT MEANS
THEY'RE REPELLED BY THE SPRAY.
>> WE FOUND THAT LEMON GRASS
BODY SPRAY REPELLED BETWEEN
75-85% OF THE TICKS.
>> Reporter: THEY'RE WORKING TO
IMPROVE THE PRODUCT AND HOPE TO
GET IT REGISTERED WITH HEALTH
CANADA.
SUCH A MYSTERIOUS ODD DISEASE.
YOU GET SOME PEOPLE JUST WALKING
IN AND THEY LOOK PERFECTLY FINE,
BUT THEY HAVE TO IT, AND THEN
YOU GET OTHER PEOPLE COMING IN A
WHEELCHAIR.
>> Reporter: FORTUNATELY,
10-YEAR-OLD CALEB WAS TREATED
WITH ANTIBIOTICS, HE IS DOING
FINE AND NOT SHOWING ANY
SYMPTOMS OF LYME DISEASE.
>> Andrew: STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL", SHE WAS MANIPULATED,
ABUSED AND KEPT IT ALL IN THE
DARK.
BUT LAST NIGHT, MORGAN McCALL
AND 140 OTHER SURVIVORS OF LARRY
NASSAR'S SEXUAL ABUSE, THEY
STEPPED INTO THE SPOTLIGHT IN
FRONT OF THE WHOLE SPORTS WORLD.
WHAT IT MEANT FOR HER IS OUR
"MOMENT OF THE DAY".
BUT FIRST, AFTER A SLOW START TO
B.C.'S WILDFIRE SEASON, MORE
THAN 100 OF THEM ARE NOW RIPPING
ACROSS THE PROVINCE.
THE BIGGEST IN THE OKANAGAN.
THERE ARE SEVEN FIRES OF NOTE
THERE, INCLUDING ONE THAT JUST
DOUBLED IN SIZE OVERNIGHT,
FORCING SOME PEOPLE TO FLEE.
IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO SEE
THROUGH THE HAZE, BUT THE HILLS
AROUND PEACHLAND ON OKANAGAN
LAKE ARE BURNING OUT OF CONTROL.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST BLAZE
BLAHS IN THE PROVINCE AT 1000
HECTARES.
IT STARTED ON TUESDAY AFTER WHAT
RESIDENTS DESCRIBED AS AN
EXTREME LIGHTNING STORM.
SOON, DOZENS OF PROPERTIES WERE
EVACUATED AS THE FLAMES CREPT
CLOSER.
FAMILIES GIVEN LITTLE NOTICE TO
GRAB WHAT THEY NEEDED AND GET
OUT.
SOME EVEN MAKING THE TREK IN THE
DARK OF THE NIGHT.
>> GRAB THE DOG, GRAB WHATEVER
YOU CAN, HEAD OUT, UNDERSTANDING
THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO DO
MUCH, I'M STILL IN PAJAMAS.
>> Reporter: AFTER SPENDING
THEIR NIGHT IN THE JEEP, THEY
CHECKED IN.
>> WE'RE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO
PACK UP, GET THEIR IMPORTANT
PAPERS TOGETHER, ANY
MEDICATIONS, CLOTHING.
ALERTS ARE A TIME TO GET READY
TO GO.
>> Andrew: MEANWHILE, THE B.C.
WILDFIRE SERVICE SAYS IT'S
STEPPING UP THE FIRE FIGHT
ADDING MORE AIRCRAFT AND GROUND
CREWS.
>> GOING TO PUT THEM WHERE
THEY'RE GOING TO DO THE MOST
GOOD.
>> Andrew: THE STRONG WINDS IN
THE FORECAST, THEY HAVE THEIR
WORK CUT OUT FOR THEM.
LITTLE COMFORT FOR THOSE WAITING
FOR NEWS.
>> JUST NERVOUS, ANXIOUS,
DEVASTATED IF OUR HOUSE BURNS,
CROSSING OUR FINGERS HOPING IT
>> Ian: THAT WAS A POWERFUL
"MOMENT" LAST NIGHT AT THE
ESPYS, AN AWARD SHOW THAT
RECOGNIZES EXCELLENCE IN SPORTS.
AN ARMY OF GYMNASTS CAME
TOGETHER TO ACCEPT THE ARTHUR
ASHE AWARD FOR COURAGE.
IT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY
HAD ASSEMBLED EN MASSE SINCE THE
TRIAL OF LARRY NASSAR.
MORGAN MCCALL SPOKE TO US ABOUT
WHAT IT MEANT TO STAND ON THAT
STAGE WITH HER SISTER SURVIVORS.
THAT WAS OUR "MOMENT OF THE
DAY."
>> IT WAS REALLY MOVING TO STAND
THROUGH.
RECEIVING THE AWARD MEANT A LOT
PERSONALLY BECAUSE IT'S
SOMETHING THAT FEW PEOPLE GET TO
EXPERIENCE, BUT I THINK WHAT
MAKES IT THE BIGGEST HONOUR IS
THAT IT STANDS FOR SOMETHING
GREATER THAN MYSELF OR EVEN THAT
GROUP OF WOMEN.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING TO BE ASHAMED
ABOUT.
IT'S SOMETHING TO BE CELEBRATED,
BECAUSE WE'RE RECLAIMING OUR
VOICES.
I THINK WE REALLY USED THE
MOMENTUM OF THE EVENT AND THE
AWARD ITSELF TO DRIVE POSITIVE
CHANGE.
A LOT OF WOMEN, MYSELF
INCLULDED, HAVE -- INCLUDED,
HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FROM
TAKING PLACE AGAIN.
IT'S THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING.
WE'RE SEEKING THAT JUSTICE FROM
INSTITUTIONS THAT WERE CON PLACE
NT IN NASSAR'S ABUSE.
>> Andrew: IAN, YOU MENTIONED
HOW THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY
ASSEMBLED SINCE NASSAR'S
SENTENCING.
SOME OF THESE GYMNASTS HAVE BEEN
SPEAKING OUT ON-LINE FOR A LONG
TIME.
ALY RAISMAN HAS SPOKEN OUT IN
SOLIDARITY WITH OTHER WOMEN BUT
ALSO IN ANGER, I WOULD SAY, AS
WELL.
>> Ian: SO MANY PEOPLE TRY TO
GET ATTENTION FOR IMPORTANT
CAUSES AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE
SOMEBODY DOES SOMETHING
BRILLIANT.
HAVING ALL OF THEM THERE AT
ESPN'S SPORTS AWARDS, SO MANY
SPORTS FANS WATCHING THAT, WAS
SO POWERFUL AND WE'VE HEARD A
LOT OF SUPPORT FOR ALL THE WOMEN
WHO WERE STANDING THERE.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR
THURSDAY, JULY 19.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Andrew: GOOD NIGHT.
