>> Andrew: ALSO TONIGHT, WHY THE
HIGH STAKES SUMMIT BETWEEN TRUMP
AND SKRONG JONG IS BACK ON.
AND IF THE PRESIDENT WASN'T BUSY
ENOUGH, HE'S CALLING FOR
CANADIAN COMEDIAN SAMANTHA BEE
TO BE FIRED DAYS AFTER ROSEANNE
BARR LOST HER JOB.
WE DIG INTO WHAT THIS WEEK
REVEALED ABOUT COMEDY, RACISM
AND SEXISM.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL".
>> Adrienne: CANADA WAS QUICK TO
STRIKE BACK AGAINST TARIFFS, BUT
IF YOU THINK THAT MEANS THE
GOVERNMENT'S CHARM OFFENSIVE
SOUTH OF THE BORDER IS OVER,
JUST WAIT.
EVEN WITH NEW THREATS FROM
DONALD TRUMP TO SCRAP NAFTA ALL
TOGETHER, THE TRUDEAU GOVERNMENT
WILL ONLY STEP UP ITS APPEALS.
KATIE SIMPSON HAS HINTS OF WHAT
IS TO COME.
>> Reporter: THE GOVERNMENT IS
TAKING ITS MESSAGE TO MILLIONS
OF AMERICANS INCLUDING DONALD
TRUMP.
>> SO WHAT DO YOU FEEL AS IF THE
PRESIDENT WANTS FROM YOU IN
PUTTING THESE TARIFFS OUT THERE?
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: I DON'T KNOW.
>> Reporter: THE PRIME MINISTER
TAPED AN INTERVIEW FOR THE
TOP-RATED SUNDAY TALK SHOW,
"MEET THE PRESS", TO PUSH THE
ANTI-TARIFF ARGUMENT.
THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS MINISTER
WILL ECHO HIM.
>> THIS IS A MOMENT WHEN IT IS
IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE CLEAR AND
FIRM.
>> Reporter: THIS IS A START OF
CANADA'S LOBBYING CAMPAIGN TO
KILL THE AMERICAN TARIFFS.
>> THIS WILL BE A TRULY PAN
CANADIAN EFFORT, INVOLVING
OBVIOUSLY ALL MEMBERS OF THE
GOVERNMENT.
>> WE'RE GOING KEEP TALKING,
WE'RE GOING TO KEEP LISTENING.
>> Reporter: THE RENEWED
OFFENSIVE COMES AFTER TRUDEAU IS
VOWING TO KEEP JOBS AT HOME.
>> AS WE FOUGHT FOR YOU BEFORE,
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT
FOR YOU.
>> Reporter: THE PRIME MINISTER
MADE A DIRECT APPEAL TO THE
ALUMINUM AND STEEL INDUSTRIES
TODAY, ASKING FOR PATIENCE.
THAT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR THE N.D.P.
>> WILL THE GOVERNMENT SIT DOWN
WITH LABOUR AND INDUSTRY
IMMEDIATELY AND PUT TOGETHER A
PACKAGE THAT SUPPORTS WORKERS,
PROTECTS THEIR JOBS AND DEFENDS
THEIR COMMUNITIES.
>> Reporter: DURING AN INTERVIEW
WITH "THE HOUSE", CHRYSTIA
FREELAND APPEARED OPEN.
>> WE'RE GOING TO STAND WITH OUR
WORKERS, COMPANIES AND THIS IS
SOMETHING WE'RE DISCUSSING AND
WILL CONTINUE TO DISCUSS WITH
THE PROVINCE.
>> Reporter: UNCERTAINTY MAY
BECOME THE NEW NORMAL FOR
CANADIAN STEEL AND ALUMINUM
PRODUCERS.
TRUMP APPEARS SATISFIED WITH THE
WAY SHE'S SHAKING UP THE TRADING
ORDER, AND MUSED AGAIN TODAY
ABOUT TEARING UP NAFTA.
>> I WOULDN'T MIND SEEING A
SEPARATE DEAL WITH CANADA WHERE
YOU HAVE ONE TYPE OF PRODUCT AND
A SEPARATE DEAL WITH MEXICO.
THESE ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT
COUNTRIES.
>> Adrienne: SO KATIE SIMPSON IS
IN OTTAWA, DONALD TRUMP HAS
HINTED BEFORE HE WOULD LIKE
BILATERAL TRADE DEALS INSTEAD OF
NAFTA, BUT WHAT DO THEY DO TO
THE NEGOTIATIONS?
>> IT WON'T HELP, NOT MUCH OF
WHAT TRUMP HAS DONE HAS BEEN
SEEN BY THE NEGOTIATORS AS
HELPFUL.
DESPITE THE LOW, SOURCES ARE
TELLING ME THAT THE NAFTA TALKS
ARE VERY MUCH ALIVE, BUT THOSE
NEGOTIATIONS ARE NOT THE
PRIORITY FOR CANADA, INSTEAD THE
GOVERNMENT IS FIXATED ON GETTING
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO KILL
THE NEW TARIFFS ON STEEL AND
ALUMINUM.
>> Adrienne: IT'S FRIDAY, DOOZY
OF A WEEK FOR THE PRIME
MINISTER, THE PIPELINE AND NOW
THIS.
IS IT YOUR INSTINCT THIS WILL BE
A DEFINING WEEK FOR HIM?
>> HOW JUSTIN TRUDEAU MANAGES
BOTH CONCERNS COULD BE
CAREER-DEFINING AND IT'S NOT
JUST HIS POLITICAL LEGACY ON THE
LINE, THE OUTCOME OF BOTH OF THE
ISSUES WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT ON THE FUTURE OF THE
COUNTRY.
>> Adrienne: THANK YOU.
>>> SO THE GOVERNMENT SAYS IT
WILL ACT TO PROTECT STEEL AND
ALUMINUM WORKERS, BUT
RETALIATORY ACTIONS COULD COST
CANADIANS.
JACQUELINE HANSEN EXPLAINS.
>> Reporter: AN OLD FAVOURITE
SUMMER GETAWAY VEHICLE CAN'T
AVOID TRUMP'S TARIFFS, ALMOST
ALL RVs SOLD IN CANADA ARE BUILT
IN THE U.S., BUT MADE WITH
CANADIAN STEEL AND ALUMINUM.
>> THIS UNIT WOULD RETAIL FOR
APPROXIMATELY $26,000.
>> Reporter: U.S. TARIFFS COULD
PUSH THE PRICES UP.
>> NOT GOOD NEWS, ON THE
CANADIAN SIDE AND THE AMERICAN
SIDE, PRICES WILL GO UP.
>> Reporter: THE TRADE DISPUTE
COULD COST CANADIANS AND NOT
JUST ON NICHE VEHICLES, CANADA'S
PLAN FOR PAYBACK MEANS ON JULY
1, IT WILL BE MORE EXPENSIVE TO
IMPORT STRAWBERRY JAM, PIZZA,
MAPLE SYRUP, ORANGE JUICE,
KETCHUP AND MORE.
BUT THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THERE
SHOULD BE CANADIAN MADE
ALTERNATIVES.
>> WE HAVE ENTERSURED THESE CAN BE
SOURCED FROM CANADIAN COMPANIES
IN AN EFFORT TO AVOID ANY COSTS
PASSED ONTO CANADIAN FAMILIES
AND CONSUMERS.
>> Reporter: SO TRUMP'S PUSH FOR
BUY AMERICAN MAY PROMPT PEOPLE
HERE TO BUY CANADIAN.
MANUFACTURERS LIKE HEINZ THAT
MOVE THEIR OPERATIONS OUT OF
CANADA COULD REGRET IT,
ACCORDING TO GROCERY INDUSTRY
ANALYST CHAN.
>> IT'S GOING TO HAUNT THEM EVEN
MORE, WITH FRENCH'S 100%
CANADIAN MADE, IT'S GOING BE THE
NATURAL ALTERNATIVE.
>> Reporter: AND IN SOME CASES,
THEY COULD SWALLOW THE COST.
>> THE CONSUMER MAY NOT WANT TO
PAY MORE.
>> Reporter: BUT FOR OTHER
INDUSTRIES, PRICE CUTS LIKELY
AREN'T ON THE TABLE.
>> IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE
RV INDUSTRY TO ABSORB A 25%
INCREASE ON COSTS COMING IN.
>> Reporter: FOR NOW, THESE ARE
MADE UP OF TARIFF-FREE PARTS AND
THE HOPE HERE IS THAT THE TRADE
FIGHT WON'T LAST LONG ENOUGH TO
CHANGE THAT.
>> Adrienne: OF COURSE, CANADA
ISN'T ALONE IN THE PRESIDENT'S
BAD BOOK.
STEEL AND ALUMINUM TARIFFS WERE
SLAPPED ON THE EUROPEAN UNION.
AND AS THOMAS DAIGLE TELLS US,
THE EU LIKE CANADA IS FIGHTING
BACK.
>> Reporter: WHERE BETTER TO
CHAT ABOUT AMERICAN TRADE
TARIFFS THAN AT A BAR IN LONDON.
ONE THAT COULD FEEL AN IMPACT IF
THE EUROPEAN UNION FOLLOWS
THROUGH ON ITS PLANS.
>> IT'S GOING TO HIT THE
CONSUMER STRAIGHTAWAY AND WHAT
WE'LL FIND, WE'LL HAVE TO DROP
AMERICAN WHISKEY.
>> Reporter: HE'S IN THE WHISKEY
BUSINESS AND BUSINESS IS GOOD.
WITH 400 VARIETIES IN STOCK, A
QUARTER OF HIS REVENUE IS FROM
U.S. BRANDS ALONE.
THE THIRST FOR AMERICAN WHISKEY
KEEPS GROWING ONLY TO BE STUNTED
IF THE EU IMPOSES A REPORTED 25%
DUTY ON BOURBON AND OR U.S.
WHISKEYS.
>> ALL IT HURTS IS THE GUYS
MAKING IT, THE DISTILLERIES BACK
IN AMERICA, IT'S GOING TO BECOME
TOO EXPENSIVE.
>> Reporter: IN BRUSSELS TODAY,
THE EU CONFIRMED IT'S FINALIZING
PLANS TO FIRE BACK FOR THE
TARIFFS ON EUROPEAN STEEL AND
ALUMINUM.
>> THIS IS FURTHER WEAKENING THE
TRANSATLANTIC RELATIONS.
>> Reporter: HUNDREDS OF U.S.
PRODUCTS FACE ADDITIONAL DUTIES
FROM HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLES
TO LESS LAVISH ITEMS FOUND AT
HOME.
FLORIDA ORANGE JUICE.
AMERICAN JEANS.
MAKEUP.
AND THE LIST GOES ON.
DRASTIC MEASURES, SURE, BUT ALSO
THIS.
GERMANY RECOMMENDED CANCELLING
THE G7 SUMMIT.
AND THE SHOW OF SUPPOSED
COOPERATION AS DONALD TRUMP
TREATS U.S. ALLIES LIKE
OPPONENTS.
>> IF HE JUST CONTINUES TO GET
WHAT HE WANTS, HE'LL CONTINUE TO
ASK FOR MORE AND IT WILL NEVER
END.
SOMEONE HAS TO SAY NO AND THAT
HAS GOT TO BE THE EU AND
HOPEFULLY ALONGSIDE OTHERS.
>> Reporter: BACK AT THE WHISKEY
BAR, THEY'RE ENJOYING THE
AMERICAN SPIRITS FOR NOW,
FEARING THIS TRADE BATTLE WILL
LEAD TO DEMAND DRYING UP.
THOMAS DAIGLE, CBC NEWS, LONDON.
>> Adrienne: ALL THE NEW TARIFFS
BECAME THE TOPIC AT THE MEETING
OF G7 FINANCE MINISTERS.
AS CBC NEWS HEARD FROM FRANCE'S
REPRESENTATIVE, TRUMP'S
BOMBSHELL HAS INSPIRED A NEW
NAME FOR THE GROUP.
>> ON TRADE, THIS IS A G6 PLUS
ONE.
THERE IS ONE STATE, UNITED
STATES, THAT HAVE DECIDED TO
RAISE TARIFFS ON STEEL AND
ALUMINUM, EVEN IF NEITHER CANADA
NOR JAPAN NOR THE EU COUNTRIES
ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
OVERCAPACITY IN STEEL AND
ALUMINUM.
>> Adrienne: THE MAYOR WENT ON
TO DESCRIBE THE MEETING TODAY AS
TOUGH AND INTENSE.
>> HERE'S WHAT ELSE WE'RE
DIGGING INTO ON "THE NATIONAL".
TWO COMEDIANS, TWO COMMENTS AND
A LOT OF OUTRAGE.
WHAT IS REALLY DRIVING THE
CONVERSATION?
>> Adrienne: PLUS DURING LAST
WEEK'S DEBATES, THEY MAY HAVE
BEEN AT EACH OTHER'S THROATS,
NOW THE NEW DEMOCRATS AND
PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVES ARE
NECK AND NECK.
>> Andrew: BACK TO DONALD
TRUMP'S NEWS CONFERENCE AND THE
BIG NEWS.
THE SUMMIT IS BACK ON.
WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE U.S. AND
NORTH KOREA HAVE HAD ONE OF THE
WORLD'S MOST DYSFUNCTIONAL
RELATIONSHIPS, BUT TODAY, TRUMP
ANNOUNCED THEY'RE GIVING
PERSONAL DIALOGUE ANOTHER SHOT.
HOW WILL IT GO THIS TIME IF IT
GOES AT ALL?
>> Reporter: THAT'S THE OFFICIAL
ENVOY FROM NORTH KOREA ARRIVING
AT THE WHITE HOUSE THIS
AFTERNOON, SUPPOSEDLY JUST TO
DROP OFF A PERSONAL LETTER TO
THE PRESIDENT FROM HIS LEADER
KIM JONG-UN.
INSTEAD THE MEETING LASTED TWO
HOURS AFTER WHICH TRUMP AND HIS
TEAM MADE A SHOW OF GIVING THEIR
GUEST A WARM SENDOFF.
>> President Donald Trump: WE'LL
BE MEETING ON JUNE 12 IN
SINGAPORE.
>> Reporter: JUST LIKE THAT, THE
MEETING THAT TRUMP CANCELLED A
WEEK AGO IS BACK ON.
THE IMPORTANT CHANGE THAT
WHATEVER EXPECTATIONS FOR THE
MEETING HAD BEEN, THEY ARE NOW
EXPLICITLY LOW.
>> WE'RE NOT GOING TO SIGN
SOMETHING ON JUNE 12, WE NEVER
WERE.
WE'RE GOING TO START A PROCESS.
I TOLD THEM TODAY, TAKE YOUR
TIME, YOU CAN GO FAST, WE CAN GO
SLOW.
>> Reporter: BUT TRUMP SAYS HE
TRULY BELIEVES THAT HE AND KIM
WANT THE SAME THING,
DENUCLEARIZATION, IT'S JUST NOT
GOING TO HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.
SO WHAT COULD HAPPEN AT THE JUNE
12 MEETING?
>> I THINK IT'S A GETTING TO
KNOW YOU MEETING PLUS.
>> Reporter: THE PLUS TRUMP SAID
MIGHT BE THE SIGNING OF A PEACE
TREATY THAT MAY END THE FROZEN
CONFLICT.
>> THAT IS SOMETHING THAT COULD
COME OUT OF THE MEETING.
>> Reporter: ABOUT THE LETTER.
AT FIRST TRUMP SAID THIS.
>> IT WAS A VERY INTERESTING
LETTER.
>> Reporter: BUT THEN LATER --
>> I HAVEN'T SEEN THE LETTER
YET, I DIDN'T OPEN THE LETTER.
I HAVEN'T OPENED IT.
I DIDN'T OPEN IT IN FRONT OF THE
DIRECTOR.
I SAID WOULD YOU WANT ME TO OPEN
IT?
HE SAID YOU CAN READ IT LATER.
>> Reporter: ODD, BUT
INCONSEQUENTIAL.
>> Andrew: WE'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT THE MEETING AND IT'S EASY
TO DISMISS THIS AS INDECISION OR
INEXPERIENCE, BUT WHAT IS
DRIVING THIS?
>> FROM THE BEGINNING, CRITICS
SAID THAT TRUMP WAS TOO EAGER TO
MEET WITH KIM.
HE ACCEPTED THE INVITATION
ALMOST AS SOON AS IT WAS MADE
WITHOUT KNOWING IF IT THEY
SHARED THE SAME OBJECTIVES.
IT'S CLEAR SINCE THEN, THEY HAVE
A LOT OF WORK TO DO JUST TO
AGREE ON THE TERMS OF
DISCUSSION.
WHAT HAPPENED, THEY AGREED TO
CONTINUE THE DIALOGUE, BUT TO
REIN IN EXPECTATIONS ABOUT WHAT
CAN ACTUALLY BE ACCOMPLISHED IN
A SINGLE SESSION.
>> Andrew: IS IT FAIR TO SAY
WHAT HAPPENED TODAY IS A SIGN OF
PROGRESS ON PROCESS, BUT WHERE
IS THE SUBSTANCE?
>> Reporter: YEAH.
I MEAN, IT'S STILL CLEAR THAT
KIM HAS NOT BEEN PERSUADED BY
THE U.S. HE'S BETTER OFF WITHOUT
HIS NUCLEAR WEAPONS THAN HE IS
WITH THEM.
AND OF COURSE HE KNOWS HE
WOULDN'T BE IN THE BARGAINING
POSITION HE IS IN NOW IF HE
DIDN'T HAVE THE WEAPONS.
>> Andrew: KEITH BOAG IN
WASHINGTON.
>>> LET'S MOVE FROM CUTTING A
DEAL TO FINDING A DEAL.
SOME CANADIANS HAD A STROKE OF
GOOD LUCK WHEN IT CAME TO THEIR
DATA HUNGRY PHONE PLANS.
FOR A BRIEF SHINING WEEK OR SO,
BELL, TELUS AND ROGERS OFFERED
TO DOUBLE THE DATA AT NO EXTRA
CHARGE FOR CERTAIN FAMILY SHARE
PLANS.
CUSTOMERS GRABBED DEALS LIKE 20
GIGS FOR 70 BUCKS A MONTH, BUT
HOLD THE PHONE.
IT WAS FOR MANITOBA ONLY.
IN THE WILDERNESS, MANITOBA GETS
SPECIAL TREATMENT.
>> Reporter: TYLER USED TO BE
LIKE MOST CANADIANS, WATCHING
HIS DATA.
>> EVEN ON THE 10 GIGABYTE PLAN.
>> Reporter: NOT ANYMORE.
>> NOW I'M GETTING WASTEFUL.
>> Reporter: HE CAUGHT A LIMITED
TIME DEAL WITH ROGERS, DOUBLE
HIS DATA, NO EXTRA COST.
>> HOW USEFUL IS THAT?
>> VERY USEFUL.
I DO AN ONLINE SALES MARKETING
BUSINESS, SO MY DATA GETS CHEWED
UP QUICK.
>> I AM ALWAYS GOING OVER.
>> Reporter: TIFFANY GOT IN ON
IT, TOO.
>> AT FIRST I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT,
BUT I STARTED TO LOOK INTO IT
AND DECIDED TO CALL ROGERS AND
SURE ENOUGH, IT WAS REAL.
>> Reporter: SO REAL, BELL AND
TELUS OFFERED SOMETHING SIMILAR,
BUT LIKE ROGERS, ONLY HERE IN
MANITOBA.
WHERE COMPETITION IN THE
WIRELESS MARKET HAS ALWAYS BEEN
A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
FOR YEARS, MANITOBA TELECOM
SERVICES WAS NOT ONLY
COMPETITION TO THE BIG THREE, IT
HAD HALF THE MANITOBA MARKET,
DRIVING PRICES WELL BELOW
NATIONAL AVERAGES.
LAST YEAR, BELL BOUGHT IT OUT
WITH CONDITIONS, INCLUDING
GIVING UP CUSTOMERS AND MAKING
ROOM FOR A FOURTH COMPETITOR.
XPLORENET WILL LAUNCH LATER THIS
YEAR.
>> IT'S ALMOST LIKE THEY'RE
TREATING MANITOBA AS A
COMPLETELY SEPARATE COUNTRY.
>> Reporter: THIS ANALYST SAYS
THE DEALS ARE ABOUT THE BIG
THREE SCRAMBLING TO LOCK UP WHAT
THEY CAN.
>> SO THERE IS GOING TO CONTINUE
TO BE A LEGACY OF BETTER
COMPETITION IN MANITOBA THAN THE
REST OF THE COUNTRY.
>> Reporter: IN A BIG DATA
HUNGRY COUNTRY, TURNS OUT
MANITOBA ENVY IS ACTUALLY A
THING.
B.C. ROGERS CUSTOMER PETE JENSEN
TOOK HIS FRUSTRATION ONLINE.
>> YOU HEAR THEY'RE OFFERING
DOUBLE THE DATA FOR NO COST IN
MANITOBA AND YOU'RE THINKING WHY
THEM, NOT US?
>> Reporter: ROGERS GAVE HIM THE
SAME ANSWER, MARKET CONDITIONS.
WHILE THE DEAL WAS ADVERTISED
UNTIL JULY 3, ROGERS IS NO
LONGER OFFERING IT, NEITHER ARE
BELL AND TELUS.
HE SYMPATHIZES, SORT OF.
>> GOT ANY BUDDIES?
>> YEAH.
20 GIGS.
>> DO YOU THINK YOU CAN BURN
THROUGH THAT?
>> CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
>> Andrew: TAKE A LOOK AT THE
LATEST PRICE COMPARISONS AND
THEY TELL A SIMILAR STORY.
IF YOU TAKE MANITOBA OUT OF THE
PICTURE, CANADA PAYS A LOT.
A BASIC PLAN WITH A GIGABYTE OF
DATA IS JUST OVER $70 A MONTH.
THAT MAKES US AMONG THE SECOND
MOST EXPENSIVE.
AMERICANS PAY $54 AND ITALY
LEADS ON VALUE, THEY PAY JUST
OVER $20.
AND THAT'S FOR A DATA PLAN THAT
WOULD RUN DRY AFTER ABOUT AN
HOUR'S WORTH OF STREAMING.
>> Adrienne: STILL AHEAD, SHE
WAS THE FIRST TO THE SCENE AND
LOVED ONES SAY SHE NEVER LEFT IT
BEHIND.
NEXT, THE PARAMEDIC WHO DIED BY
SUICIDE AFTER THE MOSQUE
SHOOTING.
>>> LESS THAN A WEEK TO GO
BEFORE ELECTION NIGHT IN
ONTARIO.
AND SOME OF THE PARTY'S
LAST-MINUTE STRATEGIES ARE
STARTING TO LOOK FAMILIAR.
>> IT'S REMINISCENT OF THE
MESSAGING WE HEARD AT THE END OF
THE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
WHEN THERE WAS TALK ABOUT THE
ELECTION RIGGED.
IF WE END UP WITH A CLOSE
ELECTION RESULT, THIS KIND OF
LANGUAGE 12 PEOPLE KILLING SIX AT A
MOSQUE IN QUÉBEC CITY, PARAMEDIC
ANDREANNE LEBLANC RESPONDED TO
THE CALL, AFTER STRUGGLING FOR
MORE THAN A YEAR, SHE TOOK HER
OWN LIFE.
WE HEARD FROM HER MOTHER AND A
FELLOW PARAMEDIC WHO KNEW HER,
ABOUT SAVING THOSE WHO WORK
EVERY DAY TO SAVE OTHERS.
ON THE NIGHT OF THE MOSQUE
SHOOTING, ANDREANNE LEBLANC WAS
AT THE SCENE TENDING TO THE
WOUNDED.
IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THOSE
CLOSE TO HER TO START TO NOTICE
A CHANGE.
>> SHE IS KIND OF -- I'M NOT
SURE THE WORD IS CORRECT -- IT'S
LIKE A SPARKLE.
SHE ALWAYS HAVE A SMILE AND SHE
WANT TO DISCUSS EVERYTHING.
THEN SHE CHANGED.
SHE CHANGED A LOT.
>> Adrienne: LeBLANC REFUSED TO
TALK ABOUT THAT NIGHT.
SHE MOVED AWAY FROM QUÉBEC CITY
AND HER TROUBLES SHADOWED HER.
>> IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF
SOMETHING, SHE WAS ALL ON CALL,
24 HOURS.
AND I FOUND OUT SHE WAS MORE
NERVOUS.
SHE WAS SAYING I'M NOT SURE I'M
GOING TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO A
CALL.
>> Reporter: HER CONDITION
DETERIORATED.
IN MARCH, SHE WAS FOUND DEAD
DRESSED IN HER EUROPE.
>> SHE WORE OUR UNIFORM, FOR ME
IT'S CLEAR.
SHE WANTED TO SEND A MESSAGE.
PARAMEDICS NEED HELP.
>> SHE LEFT HER MESSAGE IN
SAYING TO US THAT SHE COULDN'T
HANDLE THAT ANYMORE.
SHE COULDN'T SURVIVE.
>> Adrienne: HER FAMILY SAYS
LEBLANC RECEIVED ONE HOUR OF
COUNSELLING AFTER THE MOSQUE
SHOOTING.
SHE WAS NEVER DIAGNOSED WITH
PTSD.
NOW HER DEATH IS SPARKING CALLS
FOR CHANGES TO THE SORT OF HELP
QUÉBEC PARAMEDICS RECEIVE.
>> PEOPLE THINK BECAUSE YOU'RE A
PARAMEDIC YOU ARE STRONG AND YOU
CAN FACE EVERYTHING, BUT THEY
STILL ARE HUMAN.
>> I HOPE THIS LOSS, THE LOSS
WILL MAKE A CHANGE.
THAT'S MY HOPE.
>> Adrienne: ACCORDING TO HER
MOTHER, ANDREANNE LEBLANC HAD TO
COPE WITH THE DEATHS OF THREE
COLLEAGUES IN THE FOUR YEARS SHE
WORKED IN QUÉBEC CITY.
ALL SUICIDES.
A NATIONAL SURVEY SHOWED THE
MENTAL WEAR AND TEAR BY FIRST
RESPONDERS.
MORE THAN 44% OF POLICE,
FIREFIGHTERS, 911 WERE SCREENED
FOR ONE OR MORE MENTAL
DISORDERS.
THE RATE IN THE GENERAL
POPULATION IS JUST 10%.
>> Andrew: LET'S TURN TO
ONTARIO, WHERE THE POLITICAL
BATTLE FOR THE LARGEST PROVINCE
IS IN THE FINAL STRETCH.
VOTERS WILL CHOOSE THEIR NEXT
GOVERNMENT AND PREMIER NEXT
THURSDAY.
AFTER WEEKS OF TWISTS AND TURNS,
IT'S LOOKING LIKE A CHOICE
BETWEEN LEFT AND RIGHT.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE POLL
TRACKER.
NECK AND NECK SPRINT TO THE
FINISH BETWEEN ANDREA HORWATH
N.D.P. AND DOUG FORD'S TORIES.
IT DID NOT LOOK LIKE THIS A FEW
WEEKS AGO WHEN FORD SEEMED ALL
BUT UNSTOPPABLE.
MIND YOU, HIS PROGRESSIVE
CONSERVATIVES ARE STILL THE ODDS
ON FAVOURITE TO FORM GOVERNMENT,
BUT AS SALIMAH SHIVJI FOUND OUT
TODAY, IT WON'T BE WITHOUT A
FIGHT.
>> Reporter: WITH LESS THAN A
WEEK TO GO, THE LEADERS ARE IN
ENEMY TERRITORY.
ANDREA HORWATH IN LIBERAL LEADER
KATHLEEN WYNNE'S RIDING.
>> TO THOSE WHO VOTED LIBERAL IN
THE PAST, I INVITE YOU TO JOIN
US, TO STOP DOUG FORD.
>> Reporter: THE STRATEGY IS
CLEAR.
STEAL MORE LIBERAL VOTES WITH
THAT PARTY NOW A DISTANT THIRD
IN THE POLLS AND THE N.D.P. AND
PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVES NECK
AND NECK.
WITH THE LIBERALS IN THE FINAL
DAYS, IT'S A BATTLE AGAINST
ANNIHILATION.
>> THEY MAY GO DOWN TO BELOW 10
SEATS.
THEY MAY NOT EVEN HAVE OFFICIAL
PARTY STATUS.
THEIR CHALLENGE, THEY NEED TO
CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN
VOTING LIBERAL THAT IT IS A
RISKY THING TO LEAVE THE
LIBERALS.
>> Reporter: THE P.C. DOUG FORD
IS ALSO PUSHING THAT MESSAGE OF
RISK AND FEAR.
>> THAT IS THE RADICAL ACTIVIST
N.D.P. THAT ARE TRYING TO FORM
GOVERNMENT.
>> Reporter: A CONSISTENT
MESSAGE.
>> ANDREA HORWATH AND THE
N.D.P., CHANGE FOR THE WORSE.
>> Reporter: BUT QUIETLY BEHIND
THE SCENES TO THEIR SUPPORTERS,
THE CAMPAIGN MESSAGE IS
ANTI-POLLS AND ANTI-MEDIA.
A FUNDRAISING LETTER WITH THE
SUBJECT, THEY'RE LYING AGAIN,
READS THEY'RE CALLING IT A POLL,
BUT IT'S JUNK SCIENCE, BUT THE
MEDIA IS GOING TO REPORT ON IT
LIKE IT WAS FACT.
WHY?
BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT US TO
WIN.
AND CBC NEWS LEARNED THAT THE
P.C. CAMPAIGN IS RAISING
CONCERNS ABOUT THE NEW MACHINES
THAT WILL COUNT THE BALLOTS ON
ELECTION NIGHT.
>> IT'S REMINISCENT OF WHAT THE
MESSAGING WE HEARD AT THE END OF
THE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
WHEN THERE WAS TALK ABOUT THE
ELECTION BEING RIGGED.
IF WE END UP WITH A CLOSE
ELECTION RESULT, THIS KIND OF
LANGUAGE MIGHT TURN OUT TO BE
SIGNIFICANT IN TERMS OF HOW IT
UNDERMINES CONFIDENCE.
>> Reporter: POLITICAL STRATEGY
OR NOT, HE'S CERTAIN THE LAST
SIX DAYS WILL SEE ALL THE
LEADERS IN BATTLE GROUND
RIDINGS, NAMELY THE GREATER
TORONTO AREA WHERE THE ELECTION
WILL BE WON.
>> Adrienne: STILL AHEAD, WE
BEGIN SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR
NATIONAL INDIGENOUS HISTORY
MONTH.
TONIGHT, A YOUNG CREE FILMMAKER
RECREATES A PORTRAIT OF HER
GRANDFATHER AND FINDS HER PLACE
IN A LONG LINE OF LEADERS.
>> AS I WAS SITTING WITH IT AND
I COULD FEEL THE WEIGHT STARTING
TO REST ON MY NECK AND
SHOU
[ * ]
THIS IS A MANDATORY EVACUATION
ORDER, AND IT MEANS WHAT IT
SAYS, IT MEANS YOU MUST LEAVE.
>> Andrew: A WARNING FROM
HAWAIIAN OFFICIALS TO LEAVE HOME
OR FACE ARREST.
A MANDATORY EVACUATION HAS BEEN
PUT IN PLACE FOR PART OF THE BIG
ISLAND.
THE SITUATION NEAR SOME LAVA
FOUNTAINS IS TOO UNPREDICTABLE
AND THEY DON'T WANT RESIDENTS
TRAPPED.
SO FAR, 75 HOMES HAVE BEEN
DESTROYED.
>>> FIVE FORMER NFL CHEER
LEADERS ARE SUING THEIR FORMER
TEAM.
THEY SAY THEY WERE HARASSED AND
PAID PEANUTS.
THEY SAY IF THEY COMPLAINED, IT
WAS MADE CLEAR THEY WOULD BE
FIRED.
>> BEING A HOUSTON TEXAN
CHEERLEADER MEANT BEING A PART
OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAN MYSELF,
WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW WAS BEING A
CHEERLEADER MEANT BEING
EXPLOITED, MISTREATED AND NOT
PAID FOR MY TIME.
>> Andrew: TODAY'S LEGAL ACTION
COMES LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER
THREE OTHER SUED THE TEXANS,
THEY'RE ALSO ALLEGING
MISTREATMENT AND UNFAIR PAY.
THE TEAM SAID ITS CONSTANTLY
EVALUATING ITS PROCEDURES.
>>> IT HAS BEEN AN EVENTFUL WEEK
IN THE CULTURE WARS.
"ROSEANNE" IS OFFER, CANCELLED
AFTER ITS CONSERVATIVE STAR.
WHILE ACROSS THE DODY --
>> DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR DAD'S
IMMIGRATION PRACTISES, YOU
FECKLESS [BLEEP].
>> SAMANTHA BEE OFFENDED A LOT
OF PEOPLE WHEN DROPPING THE
C-BOMB ON WEDNESDAY.
SPONSORS PULLED THEIR ADS AND
SOME CALLED FOR BEE TO BE FIRED.
BUT COMPARE THAT TO THE REACTION
TO ROSEANNE BARR'S RACIST TWEET
THE DAY BEFORE WHEN SHE COMPARED
FORMER OBAMA ADVISOR, VALERIE
JARRETT, AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN
WOMAN TO AN APE.
ABC CANCELLED THE SHOW OUTRIGHT.
AND THERE HAVE BEEN TWO
DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT OUTCOMES
HAS TRIGGERED A HUGE DEBATE.
WHERE THE LINES ARE AND WHERE
THEY SHOULD BE?
>> WHERE IS THE CONVERSATION
GOING AND WHAT IS IT REALLY
ABOUT?
WE HAVE TWO GUESTS, PAIGE
LAVENDER, SHE'S IN WASHINGTON
AND DALTON HIGGINS, AUTHOR,
WRITER, HE IS JOINING US OUT OF
THE THE STUDIO IN TORONTO.
DALTON, I'LL START WITH YOU
HERE, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THE FACT
THAT THESE TWO CASES ARE SEEN AS
TWO PEAS OF THE SAME VILE POD,
IS THAT FAIR?
>> IT'S NOT FAIR.
ROSEANNE BARR, SAMANTHA BEE,
APPLES AND ORANGES.
THE REASON BEING THIS IDEA OF
WHITE WOMAN SORT OF HURLING AN
INSULT AT ANOTHER WHITE WOMAN
BEING SOMEHOW LOOKED AT AS
COMPARABLE TO WHITE WOMAN WHO
HAS A HISTORY OF JUST A LOT OF
RHETORIC, RACIST REMARKS, NOT
SURE WHY SHE WAS INVITED BACK TO
NETWORK TELEVISION.
COMPARING AFRICAN-AMERICAN WHITE
HOUSE STAFFER TO AN APE.
SOMETHING THAT IS ROOTED IN
AGE'S OLD PREJUDICES AND YOU
KNOW, RACIST TROPES, IT'S JUST
NOT THE SAME THING.
>> Andrew: THE WORDS MATTER,
TOO, I TAKE YOUR POINT ABOUT THE
CONTEXT, BUT WHAT IS THE
IMPLICATION OF THAT, THAT RACISM
IS NOT OK, THAT HURLING A SEXIST
INSULT IS OK?
>> NO, THERE IS CERTAINLY A BIT
OF A HIERARCHY, AS SAD AND
PATHETIC AS IT SOUNDS, I THINK
THE IMPLICATIONS AROUND WHEN WE
TALK ABOUT RACE IN AMERICA, AND
WE TALK ABOUT THE TEMPERATURE,
THE BAR, IT'S REALLY LOW THAT
HAS BEEN SET BY THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES.
SO HIM, ME BEING BLACK AND
CONSTANTLY HEARING PEOPLE OF MY
ILK COME FROM SHIT HOLE
COUNTRIES, THEY'RE NOT THE SAME
THING, ANDREW.
>> Andrew: PAIGE, WHERE DO YOU
STAND ON THIS?
WERE YOU SURPRISED WHERE THE
CONVERSATION HAS GONE AND SMACK
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CULTURAL
DIVIDE?
>> NOT SURPRISED WHERE THE WHITE
HOUSE TOOK THIS.
I THINK IF ROSEANNE HADN'T
TWEETED THAT, WE WOULDN'T BE
HAVING THE CONVERSATION ABOUT
SAMANTHA BEE.
THIS FEELS LIKE A CASE OF FALSE
EQUIVALENCY AM .
/* -- THAT IS CERTAINLY NOT THE
FIRST TIME THAT SAMANTHA BEE HAS
GONE AFTER THE WHITE HOUSE IN AN
EXTREME WAY AND SHE'S NOT THE
ONLY ONE DOING THAT.
SO I THINK THEY TRIED TO MAKE
HER AN EXAMPLE, AN EYE FOR AN
EYE.
IF ROSEANNE GOT FIRED, WHY ISN'T
SAM BEE GETTING FIRED AS WELL?
>> IF ROSEANNE'S TWEET NEVER
HAPPENED, THERE WOULDN'T BE
OUTRAGE WHAT SAMANTHA BEE HAD TO
SAY ON TELEVISION, BUT WHAT
COMES OUT OF THAT?
THE IDEA THAT THE OUTRAGE ISN'T
REAL?
THAT IT'S MORE ABOUT POLITICAL
OPPORTUNISM?
>> I'M SURE THERE IS A DEGREE OF
OUTRAGE.
I DON'T DOUBT THAT TRUMP AND
IVANKA AND SARAH HUCKABEE
SANDERS THOUGHT THAT WHAT SAM
BEE SAID WAS WRONG.
BUT WHAT THIS WHITE HOUSE
PREACHED IS ABOUT MEDIA BIAS.
THEY'RE CONCERNED WITH LIBERALS
GIVING A PASS TO DEMOCRATS OR
FELLOW LIBERALS IN BOTH NEWS
MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT.
AND THEN YOU KNOW, BEING EXTRA
CRITICAL OF ANY CONSERVATIVE
FIGURES.
AND ROSEANNE BARR IS MAYBE ONE
OF THE BIGGEST CONSERVATIVE
FIGURES IN THE UNITED STATES.
SO I THINK THAT'S THE SPIN
THEY'RE GOING WITH.
THEY'RE USING IT AS A POLITICAL
OPPORTUNITY TO CALL OUT THE
MEDIA'S BIAS AGAINST
CONSERVATIVES AND IF PEOPLE
AREN'T ARRANGED BY SAMANTHA BEE,
WHY ARE THEY OUTRAGED ABOUT
ROSEANNE?
>> Andrew: IF SAMANTHA BEE HAD A
LARGER POINT TO MAKE, I'M NOT
SURE ANYONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT.
>> THAT'S THE TRAGEDY.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
NAME-CALLING, VERY AMATEURISH,
JUVENILE, MUD SLINGING, AND
THAT'S DONE A GREAT JOB OF
OBJECT A-- OBSCURING THE FACT
THAT WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT
PUERTO RICO.
AND THE POINT SAMANTHA BEE WAS
TRYING TO MAKE, THE IT'S AN
AFTERTHOUGHT BECAUSE OF THE
SHAMELESS NAME CALLING.
>> Andrew: HOW TO BREAK THE
CYCLE OF TIT-FOR-TAT OUTRAGE?
>> IT CERTAINLY MIGHT HELP IF
PEOPLE STOPPED THE NAME-CALLING.
I DON'T THINK THAT ADDS TO
ANYTHING.
I THINK EVENTUALLY PEOPLE ARE
GOING GET OUTRAGE FATIGUE AND
MOVE ONTO THE NEXT THING.
AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE
SITUATIONS LIKE THIS AGAIN, BUT
THAT TYPE OF RHETORIC REALLY
DISTRACTS FROM THE REAL ISSUES
AT HAND.
HOPEFULLY, WE CAN MOVE AWAY FROM
THAT.
>> Andrew: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
JOINING US.

ALREADY, MAKE SURE YOU SUBSCRIBE
TO OUR NEWS LETTER.
WE TAKE YOU INSIDE JOURNALISM
AND HIGHLIGHT STORIES YOU MIGHT

MAKE HEADLINES, IT'S BECAUSE OF
IMAGES LIKE THIS.
THE SUPERMODEL WEARING THE HEAD
GEAR DURING A VICTORIA SECRET
FASHION SHOW, OR THIS WOMAN
SCORNED ONLINE AFTER WHAT SHE
SAW WAS A BEAUTIFUL FEATHER HAT.
BUT IT WAS THIS PHOTO OF
PHARRELL WILLIAMS THAT INSPIRED
A CREE FILMMAKER TO TAKE ACTION.
HER NAME IS JJ NEEPIN.
AND AT FIRST, SHE SAID SHE HAD
FIXED FEELINGS, BUT THEN THE
ANGER SET IN.
TODAY, MARKING THE START THE
NATIONAL INDIGENOUS MONTH.
AND CBC SHORT DOCS HAS BEEN
WORKING WITH FILMMAKERS GIVING
THEM A PLATFORM TO SHARE THEIR
STORIES THROUGH THEIR EYES.
TONIGHT WE BEGIN WITH NEEPIN,
SHE DECIDED TO RECREATE THIS
PORTRAIT OF HER GREAT
GRANDFATHER AND MADE A FILM
ABOUT IT CALLED HEADDRESS.
>> MY NAME IS JJ NEEPIN, I'M A
FILMMAKER HERE IN WINNIPEG.
I'M PART OVER THE FOX LAKE CREE
NATION.
TO ME, THE HEADDRESS IS A SYMBOL
OF LEADERSHIP.
IT'S SOMETHING EARNED.
A COLLECTIVE HAD TO PUT IT ON
YOUR HEAD.
SO THAT'S WHY I HAVE A LOT OF
MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT EVEN DOING
THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I'M BOTH EXCITED AND ALSO LIKE,
TERRIFIED.
PROUD-SCARED COMBO.
[ * ]
>> I REMEMBERED OUR GREAT
GRANDFATHER'S PORTRAIT AND I
THOUGHT, WOULDN'T THAT BE COOL
TO RECREATE THE PORTRAIT.
WHO COULD I GET TO DO THAT?
WELL, WHY COULDN'T I DO IT?
I COME FROM A LINE OF LEADERS.
AND IT'S QUITE A LINEAGE AND
SOMETHING TO LIVE UP TO, OR AT
LEAST I HOPE I CAN.
SO, WE'RE GOING TO BE RECREATING
THIS TODAY.
>> MY NAME IS AGA KHAN, I'M FROM
FIRST NATIONS, IT'S FORMERLY
CALLED THE NORTHWEST ANGLE 37
FIRST NATION.
A HEADDRESS IS SOMETHING NOT TO
BE TAKEN LIGHTLY.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN
JUST THROW ON AT COACHELLA AND
DANCE AROUND AND GO CRAZY,
PARTY, PARTY WITH IT.
IT'S TOTALLY NOT WHAT IT'S FOR.
IT'S A RESPONSIBILITY THAT YOU
HAVE TO YOUR NATION AND YOUR
FELLOW MAN.
THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE WEAR
THAT HAVE SIGNIFICANCE.
>> WHEN NON-INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
PUT ON LIKE A HEADDRESS, THEY
DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND THE
WEIGHT THAT THOSE SYMBOLS HAVE.
AND THEN JUST TO WEAR IT LIKE A
PROP, IT'S VERY DISRESPECTFUL.
I DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT AT
FIRST.
IT DIDN'T OFFEND ME, ONLY
BECAUSE I WASN'T VERY EDUCATED
ON IT.
I WASN'T -- I WAS PRETTY
IGNORANT TO A LOT OF OUR CULTURE
AND TRADITIONS EARLY ON.
I'VE ONLY JUST STARTED EDUCATING
MYSELF ABOUT IT.
SO I CERTAINLY SEE IT A LOT MORE
NOW.
BUT IN THE BEGINNING, YEAH,
DIDN'T BOTHER ME, DIDN'T OFFEND
ME, I THAT YOU GO IT LOOKED KIND
OF COOL SEEING A HEADDRESS ON A
WHITE PERSON.
HEY, THAT'S NEAT.
>> AFTER YOU SAID, IT LOOKS LIKE
HE'S LISTENING TO SOMEONE TALK,
THAT'S ALL I SEE.
>> LIKE HE'S LEANED IN TOWARD
SOMEONE.
>> SO I CAUGHT HIM IN MID
LISTEN.
>> JUST BECAUSE I'M NATIVE, IT'S
NOT OK I'M PUTTING ON A
HEADDRESS.
THAT'S NOT A GOOD ENOUGH REASON.
I NEED TO EARN IT.
SOMETIMES IT'S OK TO BE IGNORANT
IF YOU'RE WILLING TO LEARN.
I WANT TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE, I
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT.
A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE WILL
LISTEN IF YOU CALMLY AND IN AN
INTERESTING WAY, TELL THEM WHY
IT'S IMPORTANT AND -- JUST TELL
THEM WHY.
>> OK.
>> IS THAT OK?
>> YEP.
YEAH, IT'S ON THERE SOLID.
OK.
[ * ]
>> WHEN JJ WAS FIRST PUTTING IT
ON, IT WAS PRETTY POWERFUL.
>> LOOK FORWARD.
>> AS I WAS SITTING WITH IT AND
COULD FEEL THE WEIGHT STARTING
TO REST ON MY NECK AND
SHOULDERS.
IT WAS PHYSICALLY HEAVY AND
METAPHORICALLY HEAVY, I COULD
FEEL THE RESPONSIBILITY OF IT ON
MY HEAD.
[ * ]
>> THERE IS A REASON BEHIND
EVERYTHING.
AND I FEEL LIKE I GOT GUIDED AND
THEN PUSHED AND PUT HERE FOR A
REASON, SO...
>> I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
THINK IN NEW WAYS AND TO
REMEMBER OLD WAYS.
>> WE DON'T DISCUSS IT ENOUGH.
OR PEOPLE DON'T ASK ENOUGH, THIS
IS WHY YOU DO WHAT YOU DO.
I JUST HOPE GOOD THINGS COME
FROM IT.
>> Adrienne: NOW, IF YOU'RE
WONDERING WHERE NEEPIN GOT THE
HEADDRESS SHE WAS WEARING IN THE
STORY, SHE SAID IT WAS LOANED TO
HER BY A FORMER MANITOBA GRAND
CHIEF.
THERE WERE CONDITIONS, THAT SHE
PROMISED TO HANDLE THE HEADDRESS
WITH CARE AND RESPECT.
THAT SHE MADE SURE ONLY NEEPIN
OR HER SISTER WOULD TOUCH IT AND
SHE WOULD WEAR IT NO MORE THAN
THREE TIMES.
YOU CAN SEE MORE DOCS AT
cbc.ca/shortdocs.
AND "THE NATIONAL" WILL BE
SHOWCASING SOME OF THEIR STORIES
THROUGHOUT THE MONTH.
THIS SUNDAY ON "THE NATIONAL",
THEY ARE YOUNG, THEY'RE
INDIGENOUS AND THEY'RE WEAVING
THEIR CULTURE IN HISTORY INTO
EVERY DESIGN.
>> IT'S VERY MUCH INSPIRED BY
BEAD WORK ITSELF.
AND REALLY PAYING TRIBUTE TO
THAT ART FORM.
AND TO WHAT IT MEANT.
BUT IN A BROAD ASPECT ALSO,
REALLY PAYING TRIBUTE TO MY
GRANDMOTHER WHO WAS ONE OF
THE -- I'M GOING TO GET A LITTLE
EMOTIONAL, SORRY -- ONE OF THE
FINEST BEAD WORK WOMAN, ARTIST,
THAT I'VE KNOWN.
>> Adrienne: WE'LL INTRODUCE TO
YOU TO TWO DESIGNERS AS THEY
A HISTORIC SHOWING AT THE
PARALYMPIC GAMES IS DETERMINED
TO USE HIS SUCCESS TO INSPIRE
OTHERS.
MARK ARENDZ HAD A DIFFICULT
START IN LIFE, SUFFERING A
TRAUMATIC INJURY WHEN HE WAS
JUST 7 YEARS OLD.
LIFE HAS BEEN ABOUT THRIVING IN
THE FACE OF HIS DISABILITY AND
HE'S BRINGING THAT MESSAGE HOME.
>> HOW MANY IS THAT?
>> ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE.
>> WHAT ABOUT THIS GUY?
>> SIX.
>> SIX.
>> WHY DO YOU HAVE A HOOK ON
YOU?
>> BECAUSE I LOST MY HAND.
>> Reporter: MARK ARENDZ IS
ANSWERING TRICKY QUESTIONS WHEN
IT COMES TO CHILDREN.
WHEN ARENDZ WAS 7, HE TRIPPED
AND FELL INTO A GRAIN AUGER ON
HIS FAMILY FARM ON PRINCE EDWARD
ISLAND.
HE TRIED TO USE HIS HANDS TO
CATCH HIS FALL.
>> MY RIGHT LANDED ON THE
SHIELD, SO IT WAS FINE.
BUT MY LEFT, DID LAND ON THE
ACTUAL SHIELDING OF THE MACHINE.
BUT ONLY BEING 7, IT KIND OF
WENT RIGHT THROUGH AND THEN
INSTANTLY, I WAS STUCK UP TO MY
SHOULDER THE MACHINE.
>> HIS YOUNGER BROTHER CAME IN
THE BARN, YELLING AND RUNNING,
THERE IS SOMETHING WITH MARK.
SO I RUSHED OUT AND THEN WE
FOUND HIM LAYING IN THE AUGER.
>> Reporter: ARENDZ WAS
AIR-LIFTED TO THE REGION
CHILDREN HOSPITAL IN HALIFAX IN
CRITICAL CONDITION.
THAT IS WHERE HIS ARM WAS
AMPUTATED.
>> THE FIRST NIGHT I WASN'T EVEN
CONCERNED ABOUT HIS ARM, BECAUSE
AT THAT TIME HIS LIFE WAS IN
DANGER.
THERE WAS ONLY, YOU KNOW, LESS
THAN 50% CHANCE HE WOULD MAKE
IT.
>> Reporter: WHEN IT BECAME
CLEAR MARK WOULD SURVIVE, HIS
PARENTS GREW CONCERNED ABOUT HIS
FUTURE.
>> WELL, IT WAS VERY WORRISOME
BECAUSE YOU START THINKING, WHAT
IS HE GOING TO DO WITH ONE HAND?
>> Reporter: BUT MARK WOULD GO
ON TO DO A GREAT DEAL, ONLY A
MONTH OF HIS ACCIDENT, HE WAS
RUNNING AND PLAYING.
ALTHOUGH, STILL TERRIFIED BY THE
SIGHT OF A TRUCK DELIVERING
GRAIN.
AT THAT TIME, HIS GREATEST
OBSTACLE WAS TYING HIS SHOES.
HE WENT BACK TO VELCRO FOR A
YEAR UNTIL HE SAW ANOTHER CHILD
WHO HAD ONE ARM.
>> A LITTLE GIRL WITH PINK DRESS
AND PINK SHOES.
THERE WERE OTHER KIDS, BUT THIS
PARTICULAR GIRL TIED HER SHOES.
AND SOMETHING HAPPENED IN MARK I
THINK.
HE WAS SO DETERMINED THAT HE
WANTED TO TIE HIS SHOES, TOO.
>> Reporter: TWO DAYS LATER, HE
COULD DO IT.
IT WAS PERHAPS THE FIRST EXAMPLE
OF HIS CONVICTION WHEN IT COMES
TO SETTING GOALS.
HE WOULD GO ON TO BE A WAR AMPS
VOLUNTEER.
A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT.
>> THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST
DIFFICULT OF THE PROJECTS.
>> Reporter: AND A BIATHLETE,
FIRST WITH CADETS COMPETING
AGAINST ABLE BODIED ATHLETES
BEFORE REACHING THE PARALYMPICS
IN VANCOUVER IN 2010.
THAT'S WHERE A CHILDHOOD DREAM
TO BE AMONG THE BEST IN THE
WORLD BECAME A TARGET.
HE CAME CLOSER IN SOCHI, 2014,
BY MISSING GOLD BY .7 OF A
SECOND.
IT ALL CAME TOGETHER.
>> HASN'T MISSED A SHOT ALL DAY.
>> Reporter: IT CAME TOGETHER IN
PYEONGCHANG, SIX RACES, SIX
MEDALS.
AND FINALLY THE GOLD MEDAL WILL
BE HIS.
>> Reporter: MORE THAN ANY
CANADIAN HAS ACHIEVED IN A SING
THE WINTER GAMES.
>> EVERYTHING WENT PERFECT FOR
ME ON THAT DAY, WINNING GOLD.
IT WAS A RELIEF.
IT'S BEEN A GOAL FOR EIGHT YEARS
AND FINALLY TO STEP ON THE
PODIUM AND HEAR THAT NAME, HEAR
MY NAME, PARALYMPIC CHAMPION,
AND THEN "O CANADA" PLAYING AND
THE MAPLE LEAF.
>> Reporter: HE WAS ON TOP OF
THE WORLD.
>> YEAH, THIS HASN'T REALLY
CHANGED THAT MUCH.
>> Reporter: NOW LIVING IN
CANMORE, ALBERTA, HE'S COME BACK
TO THE MARITIMES TO SHARE HIS
SUCCESS WITH THE PEOPLE WHO
SAVED HIS LIFE.
>> IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU.
>> Reporter: JENNIFER MUIRHEAD
HAS BEEN A NURSE IN THE IWK
SINCE MARK WAS A CHILD.
>> IT'S NICE TO KNOW YOU'VE MADE
THAT CONNECTION WITH THE FAMILY
AND 21 YEARS LATER, YOU STILL
HAVE IT.
>> ALL UNITS HAVE A PLAYROOM.
>> Reporter: FOR MARK, IT'S THE
CONNECTION WITH THE CHILDREN
THAT MATTERS MOST.
>> LET YOU GET COMFORTABLE
THERE.
>> I'VE BEEN HERE A LONG TIME.
>> Reporter: ELI IS 11 YEARS
OLD.
>> THIS IS THE LOGO FROM
PYEONGCHANG.
RIGHT HERE IS WHAT EVENT I WON
THE MEDAL IN.
>> WOW.
CONGRATULATIONS.
>> THANK YOU.
>> YOU HAVE THREE MORE!
>> Reporter: AND WHEN HE'S HERE,
HE HAS ALL THE TIME IN THE
WORLD.
>> WHY IS THAT ONE SILVER?
>> BECAUSE I WAS SECOND PLACE IN
THAT RACE.
>> YEAH, BUT HOW DID YOU WIN ALL
THEM?
>> I HAD TO SKI REALLY FAST.
>> Reporter: FOUR-YEAR-OLD
ELLIOTT HAS CEREBRAL PALSY, MARK
WANTS HIM AND ALL CHILDREN TO
KNOW THERE WILL BE BETTER DAYS.
>> I WANTED TO INSPIRE THAT
DREAMING IS A GOAL AND THEY CAN
CHASE AFTER THE GOAL.
>> I LIKE YOUR ARM.
>> THANK YOU.
>> IT'S FUNNY.
>> YEP.
I CAN DO THAT.
>> Reporter: FOR HIM, A MEDAL
SMEARED WITH FINGERPRINTS AND
WORN RIBBONS, MEANS HE'S DONE
SOMETHING RIGHT.
>> I WANT AS MANY PEOPLE AS I
CAN TO HOLD THEM AND IN THAT
MOMENT, BE INSPIRED TO DO
WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO.
>> Reporter: HE SAYS IT WAS THE
ACCIDENT THAT TAUGHT HIM THE
IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY.
>> THE DAY AFTER MY ACCIDENT, 12
STRANGERS CAME TO THE FARM TO --
AND SOME HAD NEVER STEPPED FOOT
ON A FARM AND THEY JUST WANTED
TO BE THERE TO HELP.
WHATEVER THEY COULD DO, THEY
WANTED TO HELP.
>>
>> Reporter: BACK HOME ON
P.E.I., HIS PARENTS COULDN'T BE
MORE PROUD.
>> THEY HELPED HIM WHEN HE WAS
IN NEED, SO IF YOU CAN GIVE BACK
TO THAT BY -- OH, SORRY --
>> Reporter: WITH THE NEXT
GENERATION OF LITTLE HANDS
HOLDING THE RESULTS OF BIG
DREAMS, MARK ARENDZ HAS ALREADY
SET ANOTHER GOAL.
HE CIRCLED THE DATE ON HIS
CALENDAR FOR BEIJING 2022.
>> ONLY 1400 MORE DAYS.
[LAUGHTER].
KAYLA HOUNSELL, CBC NEWS,
HALIFAX.
>> Adrienne: THAT WAS GREAT.
SO LET'S CHANGE THE PACE WITH
OUR "MOMENT OF THE DAY", BECAUSE
NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED.
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT.
AND ONCE AGAIN, IT WAS PROVEN
TRUE THIS TIME IN ALBERTA FOR A
MAN JUST GALLANTLY TRYING TO
HELP GEESE CROSS THE ROAD.
THE GEESE WERE NOT GRATEFUL AND
THE WHOLE I FAIR WAS CAUGHT ON
TAPE.
OH, MY GOODNESS, OH, HE MIGHT
HIT HIS HEAD.
THE POOR GUY, JUST TRYING TO
HELP.
>> WANT SOME HELP?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
>> I COULD.
>> NO, HE CAN DO IT.
POOR LITTLE THING, JUST PICK HIM
UP.
DON'T PARK IT IN THE MIDDLE.
OH, THERE HE GOES.
>> Adrienne: THIS IS DANGEROUS
BUSINESS.
I HAVE TO SAY I LIKE THE FACT
THIS IS NOT EVEN THE BEST
EDMONTON GOOSE STORY IN THE PAST
MONTH.
JUST LAST MONTH A MAN HAD TO
CALL POLICE BECAUSE ONE OF THOSE
THINGS TOOK HIS CAR KEYS AND THE
COPS SAID THIS IS SOMETHING TORE
WILDLIFE CONTROL AND THEY WERE
BUSY A MOOSE, IT'S DANGEROUS.
>> Andrew: SORRY, WHAT?
WHY WASN'T THAT THE MOMENT OF
THE DAY?
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER.
AS THE PARENT OF A 3-YEAR-OLD
NOT ALL HELP IS NEEDED OR
WANTED.
A UNIVERSAL TRUTH.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR
FRIDAY, JUNE 1.
HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.
