>> Ian: ON THIS FRIDAY NIGHT,
DEMANDS FOR AN INVESTIGATION.
>> THE LIBERALS FOCUS NOW, IT IS
QUITE CLEAR THAT THERE IS A
COVERUP GOING ON.
>> Ian: WAS THERE GOVERNMENT
PRESSURE TO HELP A CANADIAN
COMPANY IN LEGAL PERIL?
THE MINISTER AT THE CENTRE OF
THE STORM BROKE THE SILENCE, BUT
JODI WILSON-RAYBOULD DIDN'T
CLEAR ANYTHING UP.
>> BETWEEN STARVATION AND FOOD,
WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE?
>> Reporter: FOOD AS A POLITICAL
WEAPON.
THE RISK SOME ARE TAKING TO
SPEAK OUT.
>> I DON'T KNOW -- I DON'T KNOW.
>> Ian: AND IN TWO COURTROOMS IN
TWO CITIES, JUSTICE DELIVERED,
BUT TONIGHT, THERE IS ANGER AND
CONFUSION.
>>> THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
>> Ian: 14 MEN, FATHERS,
BROTHERS, HUSBANDS, SONS,
PROVIDERS FOR THEIR FAMILIES AND
FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES.
THEY WERE FRIENDS, SHOULDERS FOR
PEOPLE TO LEAN ON, MEN WHO LOVED
TO LAUGH, WHO OTHERS WERE JUST
DRAWN TO.
THEY HAD TALENTS, ARTS,
BELIEVES, PHILOSOPHY.
THAT'S HOW THOSE WHO LOVED AND
LOST THEM REMEMBER THEM, BUT
THOSE WHO NEVER MET THESE MEN
KNOW THEM ONLY FOR HOW THEY
DIED.
>>> INTRODUCE McARTHUR MURDERED
EIGHT MEN IN TORONTO OVER AN
EIGHT-YEAR PERIOD.
ALEXANDRE BISSONNETTE MURDERED
ALL OF HIS VICTIMS AT ONCE IN A
QUEBEC CITY MOSQUE.
WE KNEW BOTH WOULD GET A LIFE
SENTENCE, BUT FOR BOTH JUDGES,
HOW LONG SHOULD EACH MAN WAIT
BEFORE BEING ELIGIBLE FOR
PAROLE?
WELL, THERE IS UNCERTAINTY GOING
INTO COURT AND COMING OUT, TOO.
>>> IN BISSONNETTE'S CASE, THE
JUDGE SAID THERE COULD BE NO
JUSTICE WITH THE LAW AS IT WAS
WRITTEN, SO IN A STUNNING MOVE,
HE CHANGED IT.
THE STUNNING MOVE, BISSONNETTE
WON'TING ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE
FOR -- -- WON'T BE ELIGIBLE FOR
PAROLE FOR 40 YEARS, AND FOR
THOSE IN THE COURTROOM, IT
DIDN'T JUST SHOCK THEM, IT
ANGERED THEM.
>> Reporter: TODAY'S DECISION IS
A PAINFUL DISAPPOINTMENT.
AYMEN DERBALI WAS SHOT BY
ALEXANDRE BISSONNETTE SEVEN
TIMES.
>> WE WERE VERY UPSET AFTER THIS
SENTENCE, AND WE -- WE DON'T
KNOW HOW HE -- HE GAVE THIS --
THE SENTENCE.
>> Reporter: IT TOOK MORE THAN
FIVE HOURS FOR JUSTICE FRANCOIS
HUOT TO READ HIS 246-PAGE
DECISION.
IN IT, HE SAID THE EVENT WILL BE
FOREVER WRITTEN IN BLOOD IN THE
HISTORY OF THIS PROVINCE, THIS
CITY, THIS COUNTRY.
HE SAID WHEN BISSONNETTE WENT TO
THE MOSQUE THAT NIGHT AND
STARTED SHOOTING, IT WAS
PREMEDITATED, MOTIVATED BY A
HATRED FOR IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE
MUSLIM.
THE EMOTION WAS TOO MUCH FOR
AZZEDINE SOUFIANE'S WIFE AND
DAUGHTER WHO BRIEFLY LEFT THE
COURTROOM IN TEARS.
THE CROWN PROSECUTORS, SURVIVORS
AND VICTIM'S FAMILIES HAD ASKED
THE JUDGE FOR CONSECUTIVE
PERIODS OF PAROLE INELIGIBILITY,
25 YEARS FOR EACH PERSON HE
KILLED.
150 YEARS WOULD BE
UNPRECEDENTED.
>> IT'S BEEN A LONG AND TOUGH
PROCESS FOR THE VICTIMS'
FAMILIES.
WE WANT TO SALUTE THE COURAGE,
AND WE WISH THEM WELL IN THE
FUTURE.
SINCE TODAY'S DECISION IS A
VERY, VERY LONG DECISION BY
JUSTICE HUOT, WE WILL TAKE THE
TIME TO READ IT AND DECIDE
WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE GOING TO
APPEAL THIS CASE.
>> Reporter: FAMILIES OF THE
VICTIM WERE SHOCKED THAT
BISSONNETTE WOULD BE ELIGIBLE
FOR PAROLE AT 67.
>> THEY WILL RELIVE AGAIN WHAT
WE RELIVED TODAY.
WE WERE WISHING TO HAVE THE
PEACE OF MIND AND TO HAVE THESE
WIDOWS AND THESE ORPHANS
STARTING THEIR LIVES IN DIGNITY
AND PEACEFULLY AND START A NEW
PAGE.
>> IT'S VERY SHOCKING.
HOW CAN I EXPLAIN MYSELF?
[SPEAKING NATIVE LONG]
>> Reporter: THE JUDGE SAID
BISSONNETTE'S MENTAL STATE, HIS
ANXIETY, SUICIDAL THOUGHTS
AFFECTED HIS CRIME.
AS HE READ BISSONNETTE HIS
DECISION, HUOT TOLD HIM HIS HATE
AND RACISM DESTROYED DOZENS OF
PEOPLE'S LIVES.
THAT IS MIXED WITH THEIR ANGER
AND SADNESS BECAUSE THEY FEEL
JUSTICE WAS NOT DONE.
ALLISON NORTHCOTT, CBC NEWS,
QUEBEC CITY.
>> Ian: FIRST DEGREE MURDER IN
CANADA AUTOMATICALLY CARRIES A
LIFE SENTENCE, BUT THERE HAS
BEEN A CHANGE IN RECENT YEARS
BEFORE AN OFFENDER CAN APPLY FOR
PAROLE.
THAT'S WHERE THE CONFUSION SEEMS
TO LIE BECAUSE 40 YEARS DOESN'T
SEEM TO FIT.
>> WE'VE ALLOWED JUDGES TO
IMPOSE CONSECUTIVE SENTENCES IN
CASES OF MULTIPLE MURDER.
>> Ian: THE CHANGE THAT OCCURRED
IN 2011 SEEMED SIMPLE.
BEFORE THAT, WHATEVER THE
NUMBER, MULTIPLE FIRST DEGREE
MURDER SENTENCES WERE SERVED
CONCURRENTLY, AT THE SAME TIME.
BUT SINCE THE CHANGE, JUDGES CAN
MAKE SUCH OFFENDERS SERVE THEM
CONSECUTIVELY, ONE AT A TIME SO
TO SPEAK, AS LONG AS THEY WERE
STACKED IN BLOCKS OF 25, SO 25,
50, 75, AND SO ON.
BUT NOT TODAY.
JUSTICE FRANCOIS HUOT SAYS 25
YEARS WAS TOO LENIENT, BUT I
THOUGHT 50 YEARS WAS CRUEL AND
UNUSUAL, SO HE THOUGHT THE LAW
WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL, SO HE
CHANGED IT IN ORDER TO ALLOW HIM
TO TAILOR A 40-YEAR SENTENCE,
AND IMMEDIATELY OPEN TO
SCRUTINY.
>> THAT LEAVES HIM OPEN TO
APPEALS.
WE'LL BE HEARING ABOUT THIS FOR
A WHILE.
IT'LL PROBABLY GO TO THE SUPREME
COURT.
>> Ian: IF IT DOES, THE SENTENCE
IMPOSED ON ALEXANDRE BISSONNETTE
ITSELF COULD BE REEXAMINED AND
REVISITED.
>>> NOW, IN A TORONTO COURTROOM,
A DIFFERENT JUDGE WRESTLED WITH
THE SAME LAW AND CAME TO A
DIFFERENT CONCLUSION.
BRUCE McARTHUR WILL HAVE TO WAIT
25 YEARS BEFORE HE CAN APPLY FOR
PAROLE, AND AS WE TELL YOU,
THAT'S GETTING MIXED REACTION.
>> Reporter: FOR THE FRIENDS,
THE SISTERS, THE BROTHERS, THE
MOTHER WHO HAVEN'T SAID A WORD,
SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO.
THE GRIEF IS CARVED ON HER FACE.
IN COURT, BRUCE McARTHUR SAT
EXPRESSIONLESS AS JUSTICE JOHN
McMAHON READOUT HIS REASONS FOR
SENTENCING, OFTEN SCATHING.
HE CALLED McARTHUR, MORALLY
BANKRUPT, A SEXUAL PREDATOR AND
KILLER WHO LURED HIS VICTIMS ON
THE PRETEXT OF CONSENSUAL SEX
AND KILLED THEM FOR HIS OWN
WARPED AND SICK GRATIFICATION.
THE MAN, THE JUDGE SAID DIED A
SLOW DEATH, ONLY TO FACE EVEN
MORE INDIGNITY IN McARTHUR'S
HANDS.
THE ABILITY TO DECAPITATE AND
DISMEMBER HIS VICTIMS AND DO IT
REPEATEDLY, THE JUDGE SAYS, IS
PURE EVIL, AND YET BY PLEADING
GUILTY TO MURDERING EIGHT MEN,
THE JUDGE SAYS McARTHUR SPARED
THE VICTIM'S FAMILIES A TRIAL.
THE JUDGE ORDERED McARTHUR SERVE
HIS SENTENCES CONCURRENTLY OR
ALL AT ONCE.
IF HE'S STILL ALIVE, McARTHUR
WILL BE 91 WHEN HE CAN APPLY FOR
PAROLE IN 25 YEARS, AND THE
JUDGE SAYS HIS CHANCES AT PAROLE
ARE REMOTE AT BEST.
THE CROWN WANTED McARTHUR
SENTENCED TO 50 YEARS WITHOUT
PAROLE.
IT DIDN'T COMMENT TODAY BUT IN A
STATEMENT CALLED THE CRIME ONE
OF STARK HORROR, ONE THAT OFFERS
NO CLOSURE.
FEW FAMILY MEMBERS SPOKE LATER
AS IF DEFEATED BY IT ALL.
AMONG THEM, A MOTHER WHOSE
FAMILY SAYS CAN'T STOP CRYING.
HER HUSBAND DIED OF A HEART
ATTACK AFTER THEY FOUND OUT WHAT
HAPPENED TO THEIR SON.
>> THEY LOST THEIR SON, THEY
LOST THEIR HUSBAND AND BROTHER.
THEY DIDN'T GET ANYTHING.
>> I DON'T THINK HE DESERVES
WHAT HE GOT.
HE THINK HE DESERVES A LOT MORE
HARSH OF A SENTENCE.
>> Reporter: THIS WOMAN KNEW
THREE OF THE VICTIMS AND SAYS
THE SENTENCE DOESN'T AMOUNT TO
JUSTICE.
>> I DON'T THINK ENOUGH COMES
FOR THE FAMILIES OR THE
COMMUNITY OR THE PEOPLE THAT
HE'S KILLED.
I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, IF
YOU'RE GOING TO DO A MAXIMUM
CRIME, YOU DESERVE THE MAXIMUM
SENTENCE, WHICH IS LIFE TIMES
EIGHT.
>> Reporter: AS FOR POLICE?
>> THE DIFFERENCE IS PAROLE
ELIGIBILITY, AND AS THE JUDGE
SAID, HE CAN'T IMAGINE ANYONE
LETTING HIM OUT EVEN IF HE DOES
SURVIVE TO THE AGE OF 91.
>> Reporter: AND WITH THE ENDING
IT BRINGS, AT LEAST FOR NOW.
>> WE WERE IN THE COURTS FOR
YEARS, SOMETIMES WITH A BASIC
MURDER CASE, SO TO HAVE ONE
WHERE SOMEONE'S CHARGED WITH
EIGHT MURDERS CONCLUDE WITHIN 18
MONTHS OF THE ARREST, IT'S
FULFILLING, IT'S NICE.
THIS INVESTIGATION IS FAR FROM
DONE, SO IT'S NOT DONE IN THAT
ASPECT, BUT IT IS NICE TO HAVE
THE COURT PROCESS DONE.
[Inaudible]
>> LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE
WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK AT ANY
CONNECTION THAT BRUCE McARTHUR
HAS TO ANYBODY, MISSING PERSONS,
OTHER -- YOU KNOW, WE'VE LOOKED
AT COLD CASES.
>> SO COLD CASES ARE STILL BEING
REFED, B
REFED -- REVIEWED IN ALL THIS,
BUT WHAT ELSE IS MISSING?
>> THE BIG REASON IS WHY BRUCE
McARTHUR IS KILLING.
POLICE HAVE IT CONVERSATIONS
WITH McARTHUR AND THEY PLAN TO
HAVE MORE, AND PRESUMABLY IT'S
TO FILL IN HOLES IN THEIR
INVESTIGATION, THE REASONS FOR
THE CRIMES, AND WHERE THEY
HAPPENED.
AND THE FAMILIES.
THEY STILL HAVE QUESTIONS AND
THEY'RE STILL STUCK IN THIS
NIGHTMARE, AND KNOWING WHY
OFFERS THEM SOME FORM OF
CLOSURE.
>> Ian: ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU.
>> YOU'RE WELCOME.
>> TODAY, THE CONSERVATIVES AND
NEW DEMOCRATS ARE BOTH DEMANDING
A PARLIAMENTARY INVESTIGATION.
IT'S IN RESPONSE TO A "GLOBE AND
MAIL" REPORT THAT THE PRIME
MINISTER'S OFFICE PRESSURED THE
FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL TO
INTERVENE IN A CASE INVOLVING
S.N.C. LAVALIN.
THE PRESSURE MAY BE VOCAL, BUT
THE PERSON AT THE CENTRE OF THE
CONTROVERSY HAS BEEN MOSTLY
SILENT.
>> Reporter: CONSERVATIVE LEADER
ANDREW SCHEER IS CALLING FOR AN
EMERGENCY MEETING OF THE JUSTICE
COMMITTEE.
>> THIS MATTER STRIKES AT THE
VERY HEART OF OUR RULE OF LAW.
>> Reporter: WHERE CONSERVATIVES
CAN GRILL TOP OFFICIALS FROM THE
PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE.
>> IF THE LIBERALS VOTE THIS
DOWN, IT IS QUITE CLEAR THIS IS
A COVERUP GOING ON.
ALL THIS CRIES OUT FOR AN
INVESTIGATION.
>> Reporter: THE N.D.P. IS ON
BOARD AND ALSO WANTS AN ETHICS
PROBE.
>> WE'RE ASKING THE PRIME
MINISTER IF THERE'S BEEN NO
WRONGDOING IN THIS SITUATION TO
INVITE THE ETHICS COMMISSIONER
TO HAVE AN INDEPENDENT
INVESTIGATION.
>> Reporter: THE OPPOSITION IS
SINGING THE SAME TUNE AND SO IS
THE GOVERNMENT.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: THE ALLEGATIONS IN THE
"GLOBE AND MAIL" THIS MORNING
ARE FALSE.
>> NEITHER THE FORMER MINISTER
OR THE MINISTER HAS BEEN
PRESSURED BY THE PRIME MINISTER
OR ANYONE IN THE PRIME MINISTER
TO TAKE A POSITION IN THIS
MATTER.
>> MR. SPEAKER, AS THE PRIME
MINISTER STATED EARLIER TODAY,
THE ALLEGATIONS CONTAINED IN THE
"GLOBE AND MAIL" ARE FALSE.
>> Reporter: BUT IT'S NOT ALL
HARMONY.
>> I DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENT.
>> WERE YOU PRESSURED BY P.M.O.,
MA'AM.
>> Reporter: JODI
WILSON-RAYBOULD HAS REFUSED TO
BACK THE PRIME MINISTER'S
ASSERTION THAT NOBODY PRESSURED
HER.
TODAY SHE ISSUED THIS STATEMENT,
AS A FORMER ATTORNEY JUSTICE AND
MINISTER OF CANADA, I AM BOUND
BY SOLICITOR-CLIENT PRIVILEGE IN
THIS MATTER, WHICH DOESN'T
EXPLAIN THIS.
>> I WANT TO TELL THE PUBLIC
THAT NOTHING INAPPROPRIATE HAS
HAPPENED.
>> Reporter: DAVID LAMETTI, THE
NEW ATTORNEY JUSTICE HAS BEEN
TELLING CBC RADIO AND THE HOUSE
NOTHING IMPROPER HAPPENED.
>> SHE CAN PUT AN END TO THIS BY
SAYING NOTHING HAPPENED.
>> AGAIN, I CAN'T SPEAK FOR HER.
THE PRIME MINISTER'S BEEN CLEAR.
I'VE SPOKEN TO MY EXPERIENCE.
I THINK CANADIANS CAN BE
REASSURED THAT THERE HAS BEEN
NOTHING INAPPROPRIATE HERE.
>> Reporter: BUT WILSON
RAEBEL'S'S SILENCE PERSISTS.
SHE CAN MAKE THIS GO AWAY WITH A
SINGLE STATEMENT DENYING THE
"GLOBE AND MAIL" STORY, A
STATEMENT SHE CLEARLY HAS NO
INTENTION OF MAKING.
DAVID COCHRANE, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> A GROUP OF CANADIANS ARE
DEMANDING EXPLANATIONS FROM THE
PRIME MINISTER ABOUT ALLEGATIONS
OF RACIAL PROFILING ON
PARLIAMENT HILL.
ON MONDAY, THERE WAS A LOBBYING
EVENT CALLED BLACK VOICES ON THE
HILL TO LAUNCH BLACK HISTORY
MONTH.
150 MEMBERS WERE WAITING TO MEET
WITH CABINET MINISTERS MADE THEM
LEAVE.
AS HANNAH THIBEDEAU TELLS US,
THEY FEEL VICTIMIZED BY RACISM.
>> I'M DONE BEING QUIET.
I'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS MULTIPLE
TIMES.
THIS HURTS ME.
>> Reporter: MONDAY, TRAYVON
CLAYTON STEPPED INTO THIS
BUILDING FOR THE FIRST TIME.
>> WENT TO THE PARLIAMENT
BUILDING WENT TO SHARE IDEAS
WITH MINISTERS AND EVERYTHING TO
SOLVE RACISM.
>> Reporter: BUT HIS EXPERIENCE
WAS MUCH DIFFERENT.
HE SAYS A STAFFER COMPLAINED TO
SECURITY ABOUT THE GROUP AS THEY
WERE AWAITING THEIR NEXT
MEETING.
>> HE SAYS I'M NOT TRYING TO BE
RACIST OR ANYTHING, BUT YOU'VE
GOT TO GO FOR AN HOUR OR SO.
YOU CAN'T BE HERE.
>> Reporter: THEY'VE SHARED
THEIR STORY AND HAVE THE SUPPORT
OF ORGANIZATIONS REPRESENTING
BLACK CANADIANS.
>> THERE'S QUITE A LOT OF
SADNESS, QUITE A LOT OF HURT.
THERE WERE ACTUALLY PEOPLE
CRYING.
THERE WAS A SENSE THAT THEY
DIDN'T BELONG.
>> PARLIAMENT HILL IS SUPPOSED
TO BE FOR EVERYONE, ALL OF
CANADA.
SO IT JUST HURTS THAT THERE'S
RACISM THAT RAN THROUGH THAT
BUILDING.
>> Reporter: THE SPEAKER OF THE
HOUSE OF COMMONS IS NOW
INVESTIGATING, AND PARLIAMENTARY
PROTECTIVE SERVICES HAS GONE ONE
STEP FURTHER.
>> THEY APOLOGIZED
UNCONDITIONALLY FOR THE
INCIDENT.
THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THEY CAN
DO BETTER, AND THAT THEY WILL DO
BETTER.
THEY TALKED ABOUT BETTER
ANTIDISCRIMINATION TRAINING.
>> Reporter: CLAYTON WANTS MORE,
AN APOLOGY FROM THE PRIME
MINISTER.
>> I DON'T WANT NO LETTER 'CAUSE
A LETTER CAN JUST BE WRITTEN
WHATEVER, WHATEVER.
LIKE I SAID, I CAN RECYCLE THAT.
I'LL SEE HIS BODY LANGUAGE IF IT
REALLY MEANS SOMETHING.
BODY LANGUAGE MEANS A LOT.
>> Reporter: HE'S NOT ALONE.
OTHERS WHO ARE ON THE HILL ARE
CALLING FOR A MEETING WITH
JUSTIN TRUDEAU, TOO.
NO WORD YET FROM THE P.M.O., BUT
THE SPEAKER HAS PROMISED TO MAKE
HIS FINDINGS PUBLIC AS QUICKLY
AS POSSIBLE.
HANNAH THIBEDEAU, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> IT'S WORTH NOTING THE HOUSE
OF COMMONS ADOPTED A POLICY IN
2014 ON PREVENTING AND
ADDRESSING HARASSMENT ON
PARLIAMENT HILL.
THERE IS A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY
FOR HARASSMENT OF ANY KIND,
INCLUDING BASED ON RACE, COLOUR,
NATIONAL OR ETHNIC ORIGIN.
>>> OKAY.
NOW LET'S GO TO ADRIENNE IN
CARACAS, AND THE DEVELOPMENT
TODAY IS THE NEED ABOUT FOOD.
>> Reporter: AS THE LEADERSHIP
AND OPPOSITION GRAPPLE FOR
CONTROL, THERE'S A NEW FOOTBALL
ON THE PLAYING FIELD, $20
MILLION WORTH OF FOOD AND
MEDICAL KIT.
THEY'RE DESPERATELY NEEDED AND
THEY'RE TANTALIZINGLY CLOSE FOR
PEOPLE WHO NEED IT.
TRAINS OF AID HAVE ARRIVED IN
THE BORDER CITY, BUT THE
VENEZUELAN GOVERNMENT HAS
REFUSED IT, BLOCKED THE ROAD
WAYS IN.
NOW THAT'S LEFT VENEZUELANS WITH
HOMEMADE SIGNS, DEMANDING
HUMANITARIAN AID.
>> THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
THE VENEZUELAN ARMED FORCES TO
TAKE PART IN AN ADMIRABLE
HUMANITARIAN CAMPAIGN.
>> Reporter: EMBATTLED PRESIDENT
NICOLAS MADURO STILL DISMISSES
THE AID AS SIMPLY PART OF A U.S.
INVASION PLAN.
HE'S BOASTING THAT HE'S
COLLECTING 10 MILLION SIGNATURES
TO SHOW VENEZUELAN DON'T WANT
AMERICAN HELP.
AND TONIGHT, WE HAVE A SENSE OF
HOW SOME SUSPECT MANY OF THOSE
SIGNATURES ARE ACTUALLY BEING
COLLECTED.
HUNGER POSSIBLY LEVERAGED FOR
POLITICAL SUPPORT.
IF ONLY VENEZUELANS COULD EAT
THE GASOLINE THEY SOMETIMES SEE
HERE.
TO KNOW THAT PEOPLE SOMETIMES
PICK THROUGH THE GARBAGE IS NOT
AN EXAGGERATION, AND IT'S NOT AN
EXAGGERATION TO SAY THOSE LIVE
LIVING ON THE EDGE ARE -- THOSE
LIVING ON THE EDGE ARE SO FED
UP, THEY'RE FIGHTING BACK.
NEITHER IS IT OVERSTATING IT TO
CALL THIS BAG POLITICAL.
A MONTH'S SUPPLY OF FOOD
DELIVERED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO
SOME 6 MILLION VENEZUELANS, SOME
WHO MAINTAIN IT'S THINNER NOW,
NO PROTEEN, MILK OR SUGAR, AND
FOR THIS WOMAN, NO OTHER OPTIONS
OPTIONS.
SO HOW MUCH DOES THIS MEAN TO
YOU?
>> YOU COULDN'T FIND THREE KILOS
OF RICE.
IF YOU COULD, YOU COULDN'T
AFFORD IT.
WHY HIDE HER FACE?
THEY'RE PANICKED THAT THEY'LL BE
WITHHELD IF ANYONE IS CRITICAL
OF MADURO.
PEOPLE SAY THINGS LIKE IF I
DON'T VOTE FOR THE GOVERNMENT,
THEY WON'T GIVE ME THE BAG OR
THEY'LL TAKE MY PENSION.
SHE ALSO SAYS SHE WAS ASKED TO
SIGN SOMETHING CURIOUS BEFORE
GETTING THE BAG.
THEY PUT A PAPER ON TOP OF
ANOTHER PAPER AND GET YOU TO
SIGN THROUGH.
WE WERE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION
WHEN ANOTHER WOMAN KNOCKED ON
THE DOOR WITH A WARNING ABOUT
MORE REQUESTS FOR SIGNATURES
CLEARLY IN SUPPORT OF NICOLAS
MADURO.
WHAT DID YOU DO WHEN THEY ASKED
YOU TO SIGN IN FAVOUR OF MADURO.
>> IN ALL SINCERITY, I TOLD THEM
I'M NOT GOING TO SIGN BECAUSE
I'M NOT IN AGREEMENT.
I DON'T SUPPORT MADURO.
I FEEL THEY'RE DOING IT BECAUSE
THEY'RE AFRAID.
THEY KNOW THEY'RE FINISHED, AND
PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTING
HIM.
DESPITE HER OPPOSITION, SHE
STILL GOT HER FOOD BUT KNOWS
SHE'S TAKING A CHANCE.
FOOD HAS BEEN WEAPONIZED, WHICH
MAKES MARIA MARINA MACHADO FED
UP.
>> IF THEY HAVE THE MINIMUM
SUSPICION THAT THIS FAMILY IS
NOT LOYAL TO THE REGIME, THEN,
YOU WILL STOP RECEIVING FOOD,
AND THEY HAVE USED IT IN A VERY
CRUEL MANNER BECAUSE THEY
HAVE -- THEY HAVE CHOSEN PEOPLE
AS EXAMPLES TO PROVE HOW FAR
THEY CAN GO.
>> Reporter: THE DANGER IN THAT,
SHE SAYS, IS COMPOUNDED BY THE
DANGER HOPE CAN SOMETIMES BRING.
SHE WORRIES THIS TALK OF
HUMANITARIAN AID AT THE BORDER
IS GIVING PEOPLE THE WRONG
IMPRESSION THAT COMFORT IS A
CONVOY AWAY.
>> CERTAINLY, THE PRESSURE ON
THE MILITARY AND THE ASSISTANCE
FROM THEIR OWN FAMILIES IS
INCREASING AND ENORMOUS BECAUSE
AGAIN, WHAT IS THE IMAGE BETWEEN
STARVATION AND FOOD, BUT WHAT
ARE THEY GOING TO DO?
>> Reporter: THAT'S THE
QUESTION, ESPECIALLY HUNGRY
VENEZUELANS ARE WAITING TO HEAR.
>> Reporter: AND ANOTHER
NECESSITY HAS BEEN IN SHORT
SUPPLY.
ELECTRICITY, AND TODAY THAT HER
SHORTAGE WAS FELT IN THE HALL OF
POWER.
AT A SPEECH IN THE PRESIDENTIAL
PALACE, MADURO WAS DENOUNCING
THE AID WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT
OUT.
THE CAPITOL IS USUALLY SPARED
FROM THESE OUTAGES, BUT NOT
ALWAYS, AND NOT TODAY.
OP LEADER JUAN GUAIDO ALSO SPOKE
TODAY, TELLING SUPPORTERS THAT
HE THINKS THE MADURO REGIME IS
ON ITS LAST LEGS BUT ALSO
CAUTIONING THEM THAT HE NEEDS
THEM TO BE PATIENT BECAUSE HE
DOES NOT SUSPECT THAT THE FALL
IS IMMINENT.
SO IAN, THAT'S US FROM HERE IN
VENEZUELA.
BACK TO YOU WITH MORE NEWS OF
THIS DAY.
>> Ian: AND AIDRIENNE, HERE ARE
SOME OF THE STORIES THAT WE'RE
FOLLOWING IN THE NSHL.
THE U.S. PRESIDENT AND NORTH
KOREAN LEADER WILL MEET IN HANOI
VIETNAM OVER FEBRUARY 27 AND 28.
PRESIDENT TRUMP TWEETED, SAYING
HE LOOKS FORWARD TO PROMOTING
THE CAUSE OF PEACE.
THE TWO HELD THEIR FIRST
HISTORIC SUMMIT IN SINGAPORE
LAST YEAR.
>>> AND AS VIRGINIA'S LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR IS AGAIN DIDENYING SEXUAL
ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS AS A SECOND
WOMAN COMES FORWARD.
THE VICTIM ALLEGES RUSTIN
FAIRFAX ASSAULTED HERE WHEN THEY
WERE IN COLLEGE.
ALL VIRGINIA'S TOP OFFICIALS,
ALL DEMOCRATS, ARE UNDER
PRESSURE TO RESIGN AFTER A WEEK

THE GOVERNOR AND ATTORNEY
GENERAL BOTH ADMITTED TO WEARING
BLACKFACE IN THE 1980'S.

THREE EMPLOYEES WERE KILLED
AFTER THE TRAIN PLUNGED OFF A

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, TRAINS
MUST ALSO APPLY HAND BRAKES
DURING EMERGENCY STOPS ON STEEP
SLOPES.
>>> AND THIS IS ALL THAT'S LEFT
OF A SOCCER TRAINING CENTRE IN
RIO DID
RIO DE JANEIRO.
THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE FIRE
ISN'T KNOWN YET.
IT'S CONNECTED TO ONE OF
BRAZIL'S MOST POPULAR FOOTBALL
CLUBS.
THE GOVERNOR HAS ANNOUNCED THREE
DAYS OF MOURNING.
>>> STILL AHEAD, PHOTOGRAPHS,
TABLOIDS, AND THE RICHEST MAN IN
AMERICA.
>>> PLUS, PLANNING ON WATCHING
THE GRAMMYS THIS WEEKEND?
IF THE ANSWER IS MEH, YOU'RE NOT
ALONE.
YOU'LL DEFINITELY WANT TO WATCH
OUR POP PANEL DISCUSSION ABOUT
WHERE THINGS WENT SO WRONG FOR
AWARD SHOWS AND HOW THEY MIGHT
GET BACK ON TRACK.
>>> AND A BEER FOR SARAH.
OFFICER SARAH BURNS WAS KILLED
IN A MASS SHOOTING IN
FREDERICTON THIS SUMMER.
TODAY, A LOCAL SHOP HONOURS HERE
WITH A SPECIAL BREW.
>> WE CANVASSED YESTERDAY, AND
UNBELIEVABLY, WE'RE ALREADY
>> Ian: THE "NATIONAL ENQUIRER"
INSISTS IT HAS ACTED LAWFULLY
AND IN GOOD FAITH IN ITS DALING
WITH JEFF BEZOS BUT YESTERDAY,
BEZOS POSTED AN UNFLINCHING
ACCOUNT OF THE TABLOID'S
THREATS, INCLUDING DESCRIPTIONS
OF THE COMPROMISING PHOTOS OF
HIM IT CLAIMS TO HAVE.
AND NOW, THE INQUIRER'S PARENT
COMPANY MAY BE INVOLVED IN AN
INVESTIGATION AGAIN.
LINDSAY DUMB COMB SHOWS US HOW.
>> Reporter: FORGET IF YOU CAN
THAT THIS TABLOID IS ATTEMPTING
TO PUBLISH A BELOW THE BELT
SELFIE OF THE RICHEST MAN IN THE
WORLD AND CONSIDER THIS.
THE "NATIONAL ENQUIRER" DIDN'T
WANT MONEY TO KEEP HIS
SECRETARIES.
INSTEAD, ACCORDING TO WHAT --
HIS SECRETS.
INSTEAD, WHAT THE COMPANY WANTED
WAS A PUBLIC STATEMENT FROM
BEZOS AND HIS SECURITY TEAM
AFFIRMING THAT THEY HAVE NO
KNOWLEDGE OR BASIS FOR
SUGGESTING THAT A.M.'S COVERAGE
WAS INFLUENCED BY POLITICAL
FORCES.
INSTEAD, BEZOS DID THE OPPOSITE,
EXPOSED NOT ONLY THE APPARENT
BLACKMAIL BUT MADE A CASE FOR
POLITICAL MOTIVATION.
THE HEAD OF THE PAPER, HAS NO
LOVE LOST BETWEEN BEZOS AND
HIMSELF, AND HE'S A TRUMP
SUPPORTER.
IN HIS BLOGS, BEZOS ALSO POINTS
TO THE POST'S RELENTLESS
COVERAGE OF THE MURDER OF ITS
COLUMNIST, JAMAL KHASOGGHI BY
SAUDI OFFICIALS AND THE A.M.I.s
KINGDOM.
THE COMPANY IS COOPERATING WITH
INVESTIGATORS ALTHOUGH THAT
DALE -- DALE COULD BE
JEOPARDIZED.
THE PRESIDENT'S REACTION?
>> I'M NOT SURE IF HE'S AWARE OF
IT, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET
INTO A DISCUSSION ABOUT JEFF
BEZOS AND A TABLOID MAGAZINE.
>> Reporter: THERE ARE REPORTS
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS ARE LOOKING
INTO THE ALLEGATIONS.
A.M.I. SAYS IT BELIEVES IT BASED
LAWFULLY IN ITS COVERAGE OF JEFF
BEZOS.
>> Ian: STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL," IT IS AWARD SHOW
SEASON, BUT WITH CONTROVERSIES
PLAGUING HOST CHOICES, MUSICIANS
TAKING A PASS AND DECLINING
VIEWSHIP, OUR POP PANEL DEBATES
WHY CAN'T THESE SHOWS SEEM TO DO
RIGHT.
>>> PLUS, IF YOU HAVE APPS LIKE

>> Ian: THIS SURE SHOWS HOW ICY
THE ROADS HAVE BEEN IN NOVA
SCOTIA.
EVEN THE SALT TRUCKS SLIPPING
THIS MORNING, ONE ENDING UP ON
ITS SIDE, A SECOND ONE OFF A
HIGHWAY AND INTO A DITCH.
FREEZING RAIN COVERED MUCH OF
THE PROVINCE OVERNIGHT AND IS
EXPECTED TO RETURN TONIGHT.
>>> THE PRAIRIES ARE CONTINUING
TO FEEL THE EFFECTS OF AN ARCTIC
RIDGE.
EXTREME COLD WARNINGS ARE IN
PLACE ACROSS MANITOBA,
SASKATCHEWAN, AND ALBERTA.
SOME PLACES INCLUDING REGINA AND
SASKATOON COULD SEE WIND CHILLS
DOWN TO- 50 TONIGHT.
AND THE COLD EVEN REACHED THE
WEST COAST TONIGHT.
THE BIG CONCERN IS THE WIND
ACROSS GULF ISLANDS AND LOWER
MAIN LANDS.
ENVIRONMENT CANADA IS WARNING OF
POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO BUILDINGS.
>> WE ARE IN PEAK AWARD SEASON.
SUNDAY IS MUSIC'S BIGGEST NIGHT,
A.K.A., THE GRAMMYS AND THE
OSCARS ARE JUST AROUND THE
CORNER.
>> THERE'S MOVIE STARS AND ROCK
AND HYPE AND FASHION.
LOOK, THE CELEBRITY INDUSTRIAL
COMPLEX IS IN HIGH GEAR, BUT
DOES ANYONE EVEN CARE ANYMORE.
>> THESE BIG AWARD SHOWS ARE
GETTING DESPERATE TO STAY
RELEVANT, AND IT'S STARTING TO
SHOW.
>> I'M BEE QUAMMIE, WRITER AND
RADIO HOST.
>> I'M ELAMIN ABDELMAHMOUD,
WRITER OF MEDIA NEWS.
>> DO YOU REMEMBER THE OSCARS
AND THEIR POPULAR FILM CATEGORY,
OR THE TIME THAT THE GRAMMYS
MADE ALICIA KEYS DO A DUET WITH
A HOLOGRAM?
>> SHOWS LIKE THE GRAMMYS SHOULD
HAVE A PLACE IN OUR CULTURE,
LIFTING UP AND EMPOWERING OUR
LIVES.
SO GET IT TOGETHER.
EVERYONE LOVES A GOOD SHOW.
>> Andrew: LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT
THE GRAMMYS AND THE OSCARS.
THE GRAMMYS PLUMMETING FROM A
HIGH IN 2012 OF 39 MILLION
VIEWERS NOW DOWN TO HALF THAT
NUMBER, AND THE OSCARS, ALMOST
44 MILLION VIEWERS IN 2014 BUT
LOSING ALMOST 20 MILLION VIEWERS
SINCE THEN.
WORTH NOTING, THEIR CANADIANS
COUNTERPARTS, ARE ALSO DOWN.
BUT WHAT IS THE ROOT OF THE
PROBLEM AND WHAT IS THE WAY OUT?
WE'VE CONVENED THE PANEL TO
DISCUSS THAT.
SO BEE, LET'S START WITH YOU AND
LET'S START WITH THE GRAMMYS.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS THE
BIGGEST PROBLEM RIGHT NOW?
>> WELL, I THINK IT'S
MULTILAYERED, AND I DON'T THINK
THE PROBLEM IS SPECIFIC WITH THE
GRAMMYS, BUT I FIND WITH THE
EXPLOSION OF THE INTERNET AND
SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE FACT THAT
EVERYONE HAS AN OPINION, YOU
KNOW, YOUR AVERAGE JOE CAN
DETERMINE WHO'S THE NEW POP
STAR, THE GRAMMYS ARE FAILING IN
RELEVANCE BECAUSE THEY'RE STILL
HOLDING THEMSELVES UP TO THIS
IDEA OF THEY ARE THE BE ALL END
ALL OF WHO CREATES THE CULTURAL
AND THE MUSICAL ICONS, AND
THAT'S NOT TRUE ANYMORE.
THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WHAT THE GRAMMY HEADS THINK AND
THE GENERAL PUBLIC WHO TUNES IN
THINK.
>> Andrew: YEAH.
HAVING THE CONCEPT OF HAVING A
ONCE A YEAR BIG BEHEMOTH OF AN
AWARDS SHOW.
ELMINE, WHAT'S YOUR IDEA?
>> WHEN ADELE STOOD AND
COLLECTED HER GRAMMY, THE
BIGGEST AWARD OF THE NIGHT, BUT
THERE'S ACTUALLY A DISTANCE
BETWEEN WHO SHOULD GET THE
GRAMMYS AND THE WAY THAT CULTURE
UNDERSTANDS THE ARTISTS THAT ARE
ACTUALLY MAKING AN IMPACT.
THE ARTISTS THAT ARE MAKING AN
IMPACT NOW, YOU'LL NEVER HEAR OF
THEM IN THE GRAMMY STAGE BECAUSE
THEY'RE ALL ON SOUNDCLOUD, SO
THERE'S THIS MASSIVE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE WAY WE THINK OF
CULTURE BEING TOP DOWN, AND US
ON THE INTERNET BEING ABLE TO
COMMUNICATE WITH US.
NO, THAT IS NOT THE CULTURAL
CONVERSATION THEY'RE HAVING FOR
ME.
FOR ME, AWARDS SHOW IN GENERAL,
GRAMMYS ESPECIALLY, ARE A HATE
SHOW.
BUT THE JOB OF DECIDING WHO
OUGHT TO WIN CERTAIN AWARDS,
IT'S A THANKFUL JOB TO BEGIN
WITH.
BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO,
AREN'T YOU GOING TO TICK SOME
PEOPLE OFF, AND THAT APPLIES TO
THE GRAMMYS AND THE OSCARS.
>> YEAH.
I THINK THE CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHICS
ARE EMERGING BECAUSE THE ARTISTS
ARE DECIDING THEY DON'T NEED
THEIR OLD, STRAIGHT, WHITE
BODIES TO DECIDE WHO THEY NEED.
THEY CREATED THE OSCARS SO THEY
COULD HAVE THESE ACTORS AND
DIRECTORS CLAMORING TO MAKE
PRODUCTS THAT THEY WANTED TO
SELL.
NOW THAT THAT'S EVAPORATED,
WE'RE USING A 20th CENTURY MODEL
TO DISPLAY 21st CENTURY ART.
>> Andrew: I GUESS, I MEAN, SO
IF YOU LOOK AT THE GRAMMYS
AGAIN, SO THEY'VE DONE A FEW
THINGS TO TRY TO INTRODUCE MORE
DIVERSITY, SO THEIR DIVERSITY
TAPS, OF COURSE, THEY'RE
EXPANDED THE VOTING POOL BY
900-SOME PEOPLE, WHICH SHOULD
BETTER REFLECT A BETTER RANGE OF
VOTING PATTERNS.
THEY WERE HE INCREASE -- THEY'VE
INCREASED THE NUMBER OF NOMINEES
IN MAJOR CATEGORIES, GOING FROM
FIVE TO EIGHT.
ALICIA KEYS, A DIVERSE WOMAN
HERSELF, SHE'S GOING TO BE
HOSTING THE GRAMMYS.
THESE AREN'T SMALL CHANGES.
>> BUT I THINK IT'S TOO LITTLE
TOO LATE.
SO THIS WEEK, WE JUST WOULD HAVE
MARKED, IF HE WAS STILL ALIVE,
BOB MARLEY'S, FOR US, 74th
BIRTHDAY ON WEDNESDAY.
AND BOB MARLEY NEVER GOT A
GRAMMY IN HIS LIFE.
THE ICON THAT HE IS NEVER GOT A
GRAMMY IN HIS LIFETIME FOR ALL
THE MUSIC THAT HE PUT OUT.
SO I THINK EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE
THESE CHANGES NOW, THERE ARE A
LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALREADY
SAID THAT DOESN'T MATTER.
>> Andrew: OKAY.
SO ANTHONY, WHY IS IT THAT YOU
HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE NOT WANTING
TO TOUCH THESE IMPORTANT SHOWS
WITH A TEN-FOOT POLE?
WHETHER YOU TALK ABOUT
PERFORMERS,ARIANA GRANDE SAYING
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO PERFORM AT
THE GRAMMYS, BUT ALSO HOST THE
OSCARS.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT THOSE SHOWS
THAT ARE KRYPTONITE?
>> ANYONE THAT HAS THE SKILL SET
TO DO IT IS ALREADY FAMOUS.
THE ONLY THING THAT CAN HAPPEN
IS IT GOES WRONG.
IF IT GOES WELL, EVERYONE SAYS
HE OR SHE WAS FINE, AND IF IT
GOES SOUTH, IT'S AN ALBATROSS
AROUND YOUR NECK FOR THE REST OF
YOUR LIFE.
PEOPLE WATCH AWARDS FOR THE
MOMENTS THAT THINGS BREAKDOWN.
IT'S WHY I LOVE AWARDS
CEREMONIES.
IT'S SUCH A LONG AMOUNT OF TIME
THAT IT ALLOWS FOR A CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON THE VENEER
TO CRACK.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, JENNIFER
LAURENCE OR SOMEONE IS ON STAGE
SKPR
, AND THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH
THAT.
THEY'RE EXPOSED TO THE BRIGHTEST
POSSIBLE LIGHT, AND FOR A HOST,
THAT'S MORE HOURS.
>> Andrew: BUT YOU FOLKS WOULD
SAY THAT THE AWARDS JUST AREN'T
EVEN WORTH WHAT THEY USED TO BE
WORTH?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
THIS IS THINKING ABOUT THE
JUNOS, AND WE'RE LOOKING AT THE
JUNOS THAT ARE GOING TO COME UP
IN LONDON, ONTARIO, MY HOMETOWN.
THIS IS GOING TO BE THE SECOND
YEAR THAT DRAKE HAS NOT
SUBMITTED HIS WORK TO BE
CONSIDERED FOR NOMINATION.
IF YOU LOOK BACK, THE JUNOS HAVE
HAD A CONTENTIOUS HISTORY WITH
BLACK MUSIC GOING BACK OVER 20
YEARS.
DRAKE WAS NOMINATED IN 2011 FOR
17 OR 18 AWARDS, AND HE DIDN'T
WIN WON, AND HE'S NEVER BEEN
BACK TO THEDO JUNOS AGAIN.
>> YOU KNOW, IF SOMEONE'S GOING
TO COME, THEY WANT TO PERFORM
THE SONG THAT THEY WANT TO
EMERGENCY ROOM PERFORM, OR WHY
EVEN BOTHER?
>> YEAH.
>> THAT'S FAIR.
>> THE BROADER TREND IN CULTURE,
YOU SEE TAYLOR SWIFT NOT SIGNING
WITH SPOTIFY UNTIL SHE GETS A
CONTRACT TO PLAY THE SONGS THAT
SHE WANTS.
YOU'RE TELLING THE COURT MY SONG
IS WORTH AWARDING.
>> Andrew: REAL QUICK AROUND
BECAUSE I WAS TO WRAP THIS ON AS
PRODUCTIVE A NOTE AS I POSSIBLY
CAN.
TEN SECONDS EACH, HOW YOU WOULD
IMPROVE THESE AWARD SHOWS BE
THEY THE OSCARS OR THE GRAMMYS
OR WHATEVER.
>> THE FIRST YOU DO IS GET A
HOST THAT'S RELEVANT TO PEOPLE.
I THINK IT'S PARTICULARLY
TELLING WITH THE OSCARS WITH THE
WHOLE CONTROVERSY, THEY COULDN'T
FIND A SINGLE PERSON TO COME UP
AND GO HOSTLESS.
I THINK A YOUNG COMEDIAN MIGHT
BE MORE RELATABLE TO PEOPLE.
>> Andrew: CAN I JUST
>> CAN I JUST SAY, GOING
HOSTLESS, TERRIBLE IDEA.
>> Andrew: ANTHONY, HOW WOULD
YOU IMPROVE THESE SHOWS.
>> HOSTLESS IS AN INTERESTING
CONCEPT TO THINK ABOUT BECAUSE
IN SOME WAYS, I THINK THE
AUDIENCE HAS BECOME ITS OWN
HOST, THEY ENGAGE WITH THE SHOW
AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS THEY
LIKE.
THEY'RE JUST WATCHING CLIPS.
IF YOU'RE THERE FOR THE FOUR
HOURS, GREAT, BUT SOME PEOPLE
ARE WAITING FOR SOME OWN LEVEL
OF ENGAGEMENT.
I THINK THESE CHARTS, YOU LOOK
AT IT, NIELSEN RATINGS, NIELSEN
STANDING ARE NOT A THING OF THE
PAST.
AND THEN TO RETHINK IS THE BEST
WAY TO AIR THIS IN A FOUR-AIR
CHUNK, ADVERTISED TO HECK, IS
THAT WHAT WE WANT TO DO OR IS IT
ALREADY SOMETHING THAT'S CURATED
IN ADVANCE FOR AUDIENCES.
>> Andrew: YOU GET THE LAST
WORD.
>> YEAH, I THINK SOMETHING
SPECIAL WHEN IT COMES TO AWARDS
LIKE THE JUNOS OR GRAMMYS.
A LOT OF MUSIC IS COMING OUT OF
THE UNDERGROUND MOVEMENTS.
THERE ARE GENRES THAT ARE
CHANGING THE WORLD, ALL RIGHT?
DANCE HALL BIRTHED THE IDEA OF
TROPPICAL HOUSE WHICH MADE
JUSTIN BIEBER HAVE A NEW PHASE
IN HIS CAREER, BUT TAKING IT
BACK TO THE ORIGINATORS, THERE'S
NO WAY FOR THEM TO RECEIVE THAT
RECOGNITION.
>> Andrew: YOU GUYS, ALL THAT
BEING SAID, YOU GOING TO WATCH?
>> HATE WATCH.
>> ELMINE?
>> I'M ALSO HOSTING A PARTY THIS
YEAR, SO I ALSO HAVE A HORSE IN
THAT RACE.
>> BEE?
I WILL BE WATCHING MAINLY ON
TWITTER.
>> Andrew: THANKS, GUYS.
>> THANKS.
>> Andrew: I'LL BE WATCHING.
>> Ian: ANY WAYS, NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL," HOW SERVICES ON
STREAMING SERVICES ARE CHANGING
THE WAY MUSIC IS MADE.
>> PEOPLE WANT TO STREAM THINGS
INSTANTLY, SO THAT JUST GOES TO
SHOW THE ATTENTION SPAN OF
TODAY'S YOUTH.
BIE
BIEHN --
>> Ian: BUT FIRST, A LOOK AT THE
STORY WE'LL HAVE COMING FOR YOU
IN THE FOLLOWING DAYS ON THE
NATIONAL.
FIX THE FALL, AND WHAT IT TOOK
TO RECOVER.
>> Reporter: ERIN WAS FIT AND
ACTIVE ALL HER LIFE UNTIL A
TUMBLE DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS
CHANGED THAT.
>> I WAS WALKING FIVE MILES A
DAY FOREVER, AND IT WENT DOWN TO
ONE STREET.
>> Reporter: IT TOOK HER SEVERAL
WEEKS TO RECOVER FROM A BROKEN
ANKLE, BUT IT TOOK HER YEARS
BEFORE SHE FELT SAFE ENOUGH TO
RECLAIM HER OLD LIFE.
NOW, SHE'S DETERMINED NOT TO
HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN.
>> I DECIDED TO TRAIN LIKE AN
ATHLETE AGAIN, AND THAT
>> Ian: THE GRAMMY AWARDS ARE
THIS SUNDAY, AND SINCE MOST OF
THE NOMINEES ARE THE MOST
POPULAR, THAT MEANS THEY GET A
LOT OF PLAYS ON STREAMING
SERVICES.
[*]
>> Ian: JUST LIKE A.M. RADIO A
GENERATION AGO, ON-LINE SERVICES
LIKE APPLE MUSIC AND POPPI --
SPOTIFY HAVE CHANGED THE
INDUSTRY, THE WAY PEOPLE LISTEN
TO MUSIC.
AND IT ALSO AFFECTS HOW ARTISTS
MAKE MONEY.
IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2018,
STREAMING MADE UP 75% OF MUSIC
INDUSTRY REVENUES IN THE UNITED
STATES, AND THAT IN TURN IS
AFFECTING MUSIC ITSELF.
>> WE COULD DO IT --
>> Reporter: THIS IS SONG
WRITING IN THE AGE OF STREAMING.
THE LYRICS, THE MELODYS, AND
SOME NEW ONES.
>> REALLY IN WAYS THAT STREAMING
HAS AFFECTED MY WRITING IS TRIM
THE FAT.
I JUST SHORTEN INTROS.
>> THIS MUSICOLOGIST RESEARCHER
BACKS UP HIS INSTINCTS.
ONE OF THE MAIN FINDINGS, MUSIC
USED TO TAKE A LONG TIME TO GET
GOING, SOMETIMES TAKING 25 OR 30
SECONDS.
NOW, IT TAKES AN AVERAGE OF
EIGHT TO TEN SECONDS.
>> THIS MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.
WHEN IT YOU CAN SKIP TO THE NEXT
SONG WITHOUT ANY COST, IT MAKES
SENSE YOU WANT YOUR LISTENERS TO
GET TO THE CORE MUSIC AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE.
>> Reporter: COLLABORATIONS OF
MULTIPLE ARTISTS ARE POPULAR,
AND THE CHORUSES OCCUR MUCH
EARLIER IN THE SONG BUT THEY'RE
MORE MELLOW AND LESS OBVIOUS.
>> CHORUSES THAT AREN'T HUGE AND
HIT YOU IN THE FACE REPORT.
>> Reporter: THIS ISN'T THE WAY
MUSIC HAS AFFECTED HOW SONGS ARE
WRITTEN.
TOP 40 RADIO ALSO HAD ITS OWN
SONG WRITING CONVENTIONS.
BUT CAN A SONG THAT STREAMS WELL
BE GOOD FOR THE ARTS.
GRAMMY WINNER SONG WRITER SARAH
MacLATCH LAN ISN'T SO SHOW.
>> AS AN ARTISTS, I'VE ALWAYS
BEEN ALLOWED TO SPEAK MY TRUTH.
>> Reporter: BACK AT THE SONG
WRITING SESSION, PRODUCER
MICHAEL GOLDCHAIN AGREES.
>> SOMETIMES YOU'LL BE WORKING
ON AN IDEA, AND YOU KILL IT
BEFORE IT EVEN BECOMES A REAL
IDEA JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE LIKE
OH, THIS ISN'T GOING TO FIT ONTO
ANYTHING -- A PLAYLIST.
>> Reporter: BUT HE, LIKE MOST
MUSICIANS HIS AGE STILL THINK
THE BENEFITS OF STREAMING
OUTWEIGH THE PROBLEMS.
NO D.J. NEEDED TO REACH MILLIONS
OF LISTENERS.
>> Ian: WELL, NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL," THE FREDERICTON
SHOOTING SHOCKED A COMMUNITY
LAST SUMMER AND THEN BROUGHT IT
TOGETHER.
HOW ONE LOCAL BUSINESS IS
HONOURING THE MEMORY OF A FALLEN
POLICE OF
>> Ian: AFTER TRAGEDY STRUCK
FREDERICTON LAST AUGUST IN THE
FORM OF A MASS SHOOTING, THE
COMMUNITY LOOKED FOR WAYS TO TRY
TO DEAL WITH ITS GRIEF.
FOUR PEOPLE WERE KILLED,
INCLUDING TWO POLICE OFFICERS.
ONE OF THEM, CONSTABLE SARA
BURNS HAS INSPIRED AN IDEA TO
HONOUR HER LEGACY.
IT'S NAMED AFTER HER BELOVED
RACEHORSE.
THAT'S OUR MOMENT.
>> WE DESIGNED AND BREWED A BEER
TO HELP RAISE MONEY.
I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING.
MY SISTER KNOWS -- KNEW SARA
WELL AND I KNEW THAT SARA WAS A
WONDERFUL PERSON.
SARA IS A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY
AND ALL THE POLICE IN OUR
COMMUNITY ARE THERE FOR THE
COMMUNITY.
CRAFT BEER IS SUPPORTED BY OUR
COMMUNITY.
IT'S A VERY COMMUNITY THING.
100% OF EVERY PENNY THAT COMES
INTO US IS GOING TO THE SARA
BURNS POLICE MEMORIAL FUND.
WE'RE ALREADY A THIRD SOLD OUT
AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HOLD
IT BACK FOR A COUPLE OF EVENTS
BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE ALL
GONE.
WHEN THIS TRAGIC THING HAPPENED,
IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE HOW
FREDERICTON WAS THERE FOR EACH
OTHER.
THIS COMMUNITY, IT'S STEPPING UP
TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE AND WE'RE
JUST ONE OF THE CHANNELS AMONG
MANY THAT ARE HELPING MAKE THIS
HAPPEN.
>> Ian: ANDREW, I WAS WONDERING
IF PEOPLE WERE WATCHING, IS BEER
THE RIGHT WAY TO HONOUR A POLICE
OFFICER?
SARA'S HUSBAND SAYS THAT HE WAS
MOVED BY THIS, BECAUSE IT SHOWS
NOT JUST THE CRAFT BREW MAKER,
BUT THAT THE COMMUNITY CARES.
>> Andrew: I WILL SAY THE PART
OF THE STORY THAT I LIKED QUITE
A BIT, WHEN HE SAYS ALL OF THE
PROCEEDS GO TO THAT FUND, HE
REALLY MEANS IT.
A WHOLE TEAM OF PEOPLE GOT
TOGETHER, PACKAGING, GRAPHIC
DESIGN, DONATED THEIR TIME.
BUT NEW BRUNSWICK LIQUOR IS NOT
EVEN TAKING THE CUSTOMARY CUT OF
THE SALES, SO TRULY EVERY PENNY
GOES TO THE MEMORIAL FUND.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8TH.
GOOD NIGHT.
