>> Ian: TONIGHT THE TRAFFICKING
OF GIRLS IN CANADA AND WE FOLLOW
UNDERCOVER OFFICERS TO SEE HOW
HARD THIS IS TO STOP AND WHO'S
AT RISK.
>> Andrew: NEW RULES FOR
AIRLINE PASSENGERS AND WHAT YOU
CAN CARRY ON.
WHY ARE SOME KNIVES NOW SUDDENLY
OKAY?
>> Adrienne: BUT WE BEGIN WITH
SOME ENGAGEMENT NEWS THAT YOU
MIGHT HAVE HEARD ABOUT AND THE
MOST
UNCOMMON ROYAL-TO-BE.
>>> NO SURPRISE THAT AMERICAN
ACTRESS MEGHAN MARKLE SAID YES
TO PRINCE HARRY, SOMEHOW
AGREEING TO LEAVE BEHIND HER
TEMPORARY HOME OF TORONTO AND
HER TV SHOW "SUITS" AND HER
PRIVACY.
SHE'S SIGNING UP FOR A LIFE OF
CONSTANT SCRUTINY AND ENDLESS
PUBLIC APPEARANCES BUT SHE AND
HE ARE APPARENTLY ALL IN.
>> I KNOW THAT I'M IN LOVE WITH
THIS GIRL AND I HOPE THAT SHE'S
IN LOVE WITH ME BUT WE STILL
HAVE TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE SOME
PRETTY FRANK CONVERSATIONS WITH
HER TO TELL HER WHAT YOU'RE
LETTING YOURSELF IN FOR, IT'S A
BIG DEAL AND IT'S NOT -- IT'S
NOT EASY FOR ANYBODY.
>> Adrienne: IN THAT FIRST
INTERVIEW TOGETHER PRINCE HARRY
AND MEGHAN MARKLE TALKED ABOUT
HOW THEY MET, HOW THEY MANAGED
TO KEEP THEIR RELATIONSHIP
PRIVATE FOR SO LONG AND THE
CHALLENGES THEY'LL HAVE TO
TACKLE.
THEIR MOMENTS BEFORE THE CAMERAS
ARE OBVIOUSLY JUST A TASTE OF
WHAT'S TO COME.
THOMAS DAIGLE WAS RIGHT THERE ON
THE SIDELINES AT KENSINGTON
PALACE TODAY IN THE MIDST OF ALL
OF THE EXCITEMENT.
>> Reporter: IT'S A FRENZY
LIKE NO OTHER, THAT FEELING THIS
DAY IN
BRITAIN WHEN THE HOUSE OF
WINDSOR IS ABOUT TO GROW A
LITTLE BIGGER AND ROYAL WATCHERS
CAN'T GET ENOUGH.
>> Interview: WE'RE ALL
ANTICIPATING IT AND, YES, NOW
THAT IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENED IT'S
VERY EXCITING.
>> Interview: WE HAVE BEEN
WAITING FOR HARRY TO MEET -- TO
MEET THE RIGHT WOMAN.
SO I'M VERY HAPPY FOR THEM, YES.
>> Reporter: SOME TV CREWS HAD
BEEN WAITING OUTSIDE KENSINGTON
PALACE FOR DAYS WITH SPECULATION
FUELLED BY TABLOID PICTURES OF
MEGHAN MARKLE SHOPPING IN
LONDON.
NOW SHE'S MOVING IN AND BETTER
GET USED TO THE ATTENTION.
>> Interview: SHE HAS TO HAVE
ROYAL PROTECTION WHEREVER SHE
GOES AND SHE WON'T BE ABLE TO
NIP OUT TO THE
SHOPS AND NOT EXPECT CAMERA
CREWS EVERYWHERE.
>> Reporter: TODAY'S FIRST
ORDER OF BUSINESS AS A NEWLY
ENGAGED COUPLE?
A PHOTO-OP.
THIS GIVES YOU A SENSE OF THE
MEDIA FRENZY AROUND THIS
ENGAGEMENT AND ABOUT A HUNDRED
MEDIA CREWS LINED UP JUST TO GET
THAT FIRST SHOT OF HARRY AND
MEGHAN AS AN ENGAGED COUPLE AND
EVERY CREW HAVING TO DRAW A
NUMBER AND WE DREW NUMBER 70.
THEN AS THE WORLD WATCHED, THEY
STEPPED OUT, GIVING THOSE
CAMERAS PLENTY TO SEE FROM A
SAFE DISTANCE.
AS IF TO START A FRESH
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PRESS ON
THEIR OWN TERMS.
AND JUST LIKE THAT, IT WAS OVER.
BUT LATER IN THE DAY, A FIRST
INTERVIEW FOR HARRY AND MEGHAN
TOGETHER.
>> Interview: I DID NOT HAVE
ANY UNDERSTANDING OF JUST WHAT
IT WOULD BE LIKE.
I DON'T THINK THAT EITHER OF US
DID AND WE BOTH SAID THAT --
>> Interview: I TRIED TO
WARN -- I TRIED TO WARN YOU AS
MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
>> Reporter: THEY PLAN TO GET
MARRIED IN THE SPRING.
THE BOOKIES ARE EVEN TAKING BETS
ON THE WEDDING DATE.
THE ODDS ON FAVOURITE?
SOME TIME IN MAY.
THE FRENZY IS ONLY BEGINNING.
THOMAS DAIGLE, CBC NEWS, LONDON.
>> Adrienne: SO LET'S TALK
ABOUT THAT ROCK ON MEGHAN
MARKLE'S FINGER.
EVERY ROYAL RING HAS A BACK
STORY AND HERE'S THIS ONE.
THE RING WAS DESIGNED BY PRINCE
HARRY HIMSELF AND THE CENTRE
DIAMOND IS FROM BOTSWANA WHERE
THE COUPLE CELEBRATED MARKLE'S
36th BIRTHDAY.
AND THE TWO SIDE DIAMONDS ARE
PART OF A BROOCH WORN BY DIANA.
AND THE GOLD BAND WAS DESIGNED
BY CLEAVE
AND COMPANY, THE QUEEN'S
JEWELLERS.
ESTIMATED VALUE $85,000.
THE COUPLE MADE IT CLEAR THAT
THEY CHERISH DIANA'S CONNECTION
TO THEIR ENGAGEMENT.
>> Interview: YOU KNOW, TO BE
ABLE TO HAVE THIS, WHICH SORT OF
LINKS WHERE YOU COME FROM AND
BOTSWANA WHICH IS IMPORTANT TO
US AND IT'S PERFECT.
>> Question: WHAT DO YOU THINK
THAT YOUR MOTHER WOULD HAVE
THOUGHT ABOUT MEGHAN OR SAID
ABOUT MEGHAN?
>> Interview: THEY'D BE THICK
AS THIEVES, WITHOUT QUESTION.
I THINK THAT SHE WOULD BE OVER
THE MOON JUMPING UP AND DOWN,
YOU KNOW, EXCITED FOR ME BUT
THEN THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE
BEEN BEST FRIENDS WITH MEGHAN.
SO IT IS DAYS LIKE TODAY WHEN I
REALLY MISS HAVING HER AROUND,
MISS BEING
ABLE TO SHARE HER THE HAPPY NEWS
BUT WITH THE RING AND EVERYTHING
ELSE THAT IS GOING ON, I'M SURE
THAT SHE'S WITH US AND JUMPING
UP AND DOWN SOMEWHERE ELSE.
>> Adrienne: TINA BROWN, A
FORMER EDITOR OF "VANITY FAIR"
AND "THE NEW YORKER" KNOWS THE
BRITISH UPPER CRUST VERY WELL
AND SHE ALSO WROTE A BESTSELLER
BIOGRAPHY OF DIANA SO I ASKED
HER ABOUT THIS PROSPECTIVE ROYAL
BRIDE.
>> Interview: IT BRINGS
RENEWAL, THE FACT THAT HARRY IS
DOING THIS AND THE FACT THAT
MEGHAN IS 36.
YOU KNOW, THE INCREDIBLE THING
IS THAT
SHE'S THE AGE THAT DIANA WAS
WHEN SHE DIED.
IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT BALLGAME
NOW IN THE MONARCHY.
THERE REALLY IS A GREAT EASINESS
ABOUT IT ALL WITH THE ROYAL
FAMILY AND HE'S FIVE AWAY FROM
THE THRONE NOW.
YOU KNOW, IT'S ALSO EASIER
BECAUSE NOW THAT WILLIAM HAS A
FAMILY AND, CLEARLY, YOU KNOW,
HARRY IS NOT GOING TO
GET IT UNLESS SOMETHING REALLY
STRANGE HAPPENS, THERE'S A SENSE
OF LET HARRY BE HA HARRY AND LET
HARRY HAVE HIS PICK AND THEY'RE
DONE WITH TRYING TO FORCE THEIR
SONS TO MARRY PEOPLE WHO THEY
DON'T WANT TO MARRY.
>> Reporter: THAT'S NOT
WORKING?
>> Interview: THAT DIDN'T WORK
WORK.
>> Adrienne: SO JUST HOW
REVOLUTIONARY IS MEGHAN MARKLE
AND WE ASKED SUSAN ORMISTON TO
FIND OUT.
>> Reporter: THIS WAS THE
MOMENT THAT FORETOLD THE FUTURE,
IN ROYAL LINGO A P.D.A. THAT IS
A PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION,
AND WITH THAT PRINCE HARRY IN
TORONTO FOR THE INVICTUS GAMES
SENT A HUGE SIGNAL, MEGHAN
MARKLE, A BIRACIAL DIVORCED AND
AMERICAN ACTRESS WOULD BE A
ROYAL VERY SOON.
>> Interview: IT'S INCREDIBLY
UNIQUE AND WE HAVE NEVER SEEN A
BIRACIAL PERSON MARRY INTO THE
ROYAL FAMILY AND, OF COURSE,
MEGHAN, WHO HAS BEEN VERY
OUTSPOKEN ABOUT HER BIRACIAL
HERITAGE IS GOING TO BE THE
FIRST HALF BLACK, HALF WHITE
WOMAN TO MARRY INTO THE ROYAL
FAMILY SO THIS IS TICKING SO
MANY FIRSTS.
>> Reporter: PRINCE HARRY WILL
LIKELY NEVER BE KING, FIFTH IN
LINE, SO HE WAS FREER TO BANISH
THE TRADITIONS OF BLUE BLOOD
ARISTOCRATIC ROYAL BRIDES FROM
BRITAIN.
BUT THE BRITISH TABLOIDS
VICIOUSLY QUESTIONED WHETHER
MARKLE WAS INDEED ROYAL JELLY,
REPORTING THAT SHE CAME FROM
GANGLAND BEGINNINGS.
WHEN, IN FACT, SHE GREW UP IN A
MIDDLE-CLASS NEIGHBOURHOOD IN
LOS ANGELES TO A WHITE FATHER
AND A BLACK MOTHER.
(*)
POINTED QUESTIONS TOO ABOUT HER
SEXY RACY CAREER, MOST NOTABLY
ON THE TV SERIES "SUITS."
LAST FALL HARRY CALLED OUT
COLUMNIST AND SOCIAL MEDIA
TROLLS FOR RACIAL UNDERTONES AND
OUTRIGHT SEXISM.
>> Interview: IT IS A SHAME
THAT IS THE CLIMATE IN THIS
WORLD TO FOCUS THAT MUCH ON
THAT, THAT WOULD BE
DISCRIMINATORY BUT I THINK THAT
AT THE END OF THE DAY I'M JUST
REALLY PROUD OF WHO I AM AND
WHERE I COME FROM.
>> Reporter: LONG BEFORE HARRY
MARKLE SHARED AN INTEREST IN
HUMANITARIAN WORK.
>> Interview: I SEE THEM
BECOMING AN INTERNATIONAL N.G.O.
AND TRAVELLING AROUND THE WORLD
AND USING THEIR CELEBRITY TO
SHINE A SPOTLIGHT
ON THE CAUSES THAT ARE CLOSE TO
THEM AND THEY ACTUALLY SHARE A
LOT OF CAUSES IN COMMON.
>> Reporter: BUT THERE'S A
STRATEGIC SIDE TO THIS
ENGAGEMENT, THE ROYALS ARE A
GLOBAL BRAND, CAREFULLY
SCRIPTED.
ADDING MEGHAN MARKLE TO THE TEAM
FITS.
WE CAUGHT UP WITH TORONTO
COLUMNIST VICKY MOCHAMA.
>> Interview: FOR ME
PERSONALLY IT FEELS WONDERFUL TO
SEE THIS BEAUTIFUL, SMART, BLACK
WOMAN BE LOVED SO PUBLICLY AND
TO BE EMBRACED BY THIS
INSTITUTION THAT YOU DON'T
NECESSARILY THINK OF AS BEING
INTERESTING OR COMPLICATED WHEN
IT COMES TO RACE.
>> Reporter: DO YOU THINK THAT
HER JOINING THE ROYAL FAMILY
WILL DO ANYTHING FOR RACE
RELATIONS IN BRITAIN OR
ELSEWHERE?
>> Interview: NO, I WANT TO BE
AS HOPEFUL AS ANYBODY ELSE.
IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE
INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE AT A NUMBER
OF DIFFERENT INSTITUTIONS AND
WHETHER THAT HAPPENS AS A RESULT
OF ONE BLACK PRINCESS IS ASKING
A LOT FOR THIS ONE WEDDING.
>> Reporter: IN AN ODD WAY,
MARKLE HAS NOT ONLY CAPTURED
PRINCE HARRY'S HEART, BUT HELPED
THE WINDSORS APPEAR, WELL, A
TINY BIT MORE REFLECTIVE OF THE
PEOPLE THEY SERVE.
>> Adrienne: SO, SUSAN, WE
HAVE BOTH COVERED THESE ROYAL
EVENTS AND THERE'S ALWAYS A
LITTLE BIT MORE TO ROYAL
WEDDINGS THAN JUST LOVE?
>> Reporter: WELL, INDEED.
IN LONDON TODAY THE TALK IS THAT
BESIDES THE COUPLE, THE HAPPIEST
PERSON
COULD BE THE BRITISH PRIME
MINISTER, THERESA MAY, BECAUSE A
ROYAL WEDDING AND A ROYAL BABY
THIS SPRING WILL DO A LOT TO
TAKE THE CHILL OFF BAD BREXIT
NEWS AND ALSO TO GIVE A BOOST TO
THE U.K. ECONOMY, DESCRIBED
RECENTLY AS "GRIM" AND LET'S
REMEMBER, ADRIENNE, THAT PRINCE
HARRY IS AN A-LISTER AND THIS IS
THE LAST SIGNIFICANT ROYAL
WEDDING IN BRITAIN THAT WE'LL
SEE FOR A VERY LONG TIME BECAUSE
THE NEXT A-LISTER IS PRINCE
GEORGE AND HE'S NOT YET 5 YEARS
OLD.
VERY LITTLE.
>> Adrienne: OKAY, SUSAN,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SO MUCH LIKE PRINCESS DIANA AND
THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE, SHE
HAS A NOD ON FASHION.
THIS OFFWHITE COAT, AFTER THE
DAY'S PHOTO-OP,
THE COMPANY'S WEBSITE CRASHED
BECAUSE TOO MANY PEOPLE WERE
TRYING TO BUY ONE.
SO, ANDREW, I KNOW THAT YOU WANT
TO KNOW THIS, THE COMPANY SAYS
THEY ARE NOW NAMING THE COAT
"THE MEGHAN."
>> Andrew: IF THERE'S THIS
MUCH HYPE OVER THE COAT, WAIT
UNTIL WE SEE THE WEDDING DRESS.
THAT WILL BE SOMETHING.
>> Adrienne: YOU BET.
>> Andrew: OKAY, IF YOU ARE
PLANNING TO FLY ANYWHERE
THIS HOLIDAY SEASON THERE'S NEW
RULES EFFECTIVE TODAY.
FOR STARTERS, YOU CAN PACK SMALL
KNIVES IN YOUR CARRY-ON,
EMPHASIS ON THE WORD SMALL
THOUGH, THE BLADE CAN'T BE ANY
LONGER THAN 6 cm WHICH IS
ABOUT THE LENGTH OF YOUR THUMB.
AND ALL KNIVES ARE STILL BANNED
ON U.S. FLIGHTS.
TRANSPORT CANADA IS BANNING
LARGE QUANTITIES OF POWDER-LIKE
SUBSTANCES IN CARRY-ON SO BAKING
AND COOKING POWDERS AND FOOT
POWDERS AND BABY POWDERS AND
SAND, SEA SALT, BATH SALTS.
YOU CAN STILL BRING THEM ON
BOARD WITH YOU BUT IF YOU HAVE
ANYTHING MORE THAN
350-MILLILITERS OF THE STUFF, SO
ABOUT THE SIZE OF A CAN OF POP,
YOU HAVE TO PUT IT IN YOUR
CHECKED BAGGAGE.
RON CHARLES EXPLAINS WHAT IS
BEHIND ALL OF THE CHANGES.
>> Interview: YOU CAN CONCEAL
IT IN ANOTHER WAY.
>> Reporter: SECURITY
CONSULTANT ROSS McLEAN
DEMONSTRATES --
>> Interview: YOU CAN COME UP
AND ATTACK SOMEONE WITH A KNIFE.
>> Reporter: HOW EVEN A SMALL
BLADE CAN DO MAJOR HARM.
THE FORMER TORONTO POLICE
OFFICER QUESTIONS THE SAFETY OF
ALLOWING EVEN SMALL BLADES LIKE
THIS ONBOARD PLANES.
>> Interview: THESE CAN BE
SHARPENED AND IN THE RIGHT HANDS
THEY CAN BE USED TO ATTACK
SOMEONE IN THE EYES, SLASH A
FACE, HOOK A MOUTH, A THROAT.
THERE'S A
VARIETY OF THINGS THEY CAN DO.
>> Reporter: BUT CANADA'S
TRANSPORT MINISTER DISAGREES
THAT THE SMALL BLADES POSE A
DANGER ON AIRCRAFT.
>> Interview: OUR EXPERTS HAVE
LOOKED AT THE ISSUE AND WE HAVE
COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THIS
DOES NOT REPRESENT A RISK FOR
THE AIRPLANE OR ITS PASSENGERS
AND, IN FACT, WE'RE FALLING INTO
LINE WITH MANY OTHER COUNTRIES.
>> Reporter: MUCH OF EUROPE
ALLOWS THE SMALL KNIVES, THE
U.S. IS ONE MAJOR DESTINATION
WHERE ALL BLADES ARE STILL
BANNED ON FLIGHTS.
A PLAN TO ALLOW THEM WAS
SCRAPPED IN 2013, AFTER AN
OUTCRY FROM AIRLINES, FLIGHT
ATTENDANTS AND AIR MARSHALS.
McLEAN SAYS THAT ONE WORRY
THERE WAS AIR RAGE.
>> Interview: NOW YOU HAVE
SOMEONE THAT MAY HAVE AIR RAGE
AND THEY MAY TAKE OUT THEIR
KNIFE TO CLEAN THEIR FINGERNAILS
OR SOMETHING OR JUST AS ANOTHER
THREAT.
>> Reporter: AS TO ELIMINATING
BABY POWDER AND OTHER DRY
GRANULAR PRODUCTS ALLOWED, THEY
CAN
RESEMBLE EXPLOSIVE POWDERS.
RON CHARLES, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Andrew: ANOTHER STORY THAT
WE'RE FOLLOWING TONIGHT,
OFFICIALS IN LONDON, ONTARIO,
ARE ALERTING THE PUBLIC TO A
MYSTERIOUS AND DEADLY STREP
OUTBREAK.
THE TYPE OF STREP IS ALL CAKED
INVASIVE GROUP A STREP.
AND THEY HAVE LEARNED OF 13
CASES SINCE APRIL 2016.
IN THOSE CASES 16 HAVE NEEDED
INTENSIVE CARE AND NINE HAVE
DIED.
IT'S KNOWN TO CAUSE INFECTIONS
LIKE STREP THROAT BUT AROUND ONE
IN SEVEN PEOPLE WHO GET SICK GOT
WHAT IS MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS
FLESH-EATING DISEASE.
WE'RE TOLD THAT
ABOUT HALF OF THE CASES ARE
INVOLVING INJECTION DRUG USERS
OR PEOPLE
WITH UNSTABLE HOUSING SITUATIONS
BUT A GROWING NUMBER OF PEOPLE
GETTING SICK SEEM TO HAVE NO
CONNECTION TO THAT.
HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY THEY HOPE
THAT TODAY'S ALERT WILL HELP TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT'S CAUSING THE
OUTBREAK.
>>> AN ERUPTING VOLCANO HAS
PEOPLE ON HIGH ALERT IN BALI
TONIGHT.
GLOBAL AFFAIRS SAYS THAT 403
CANADIANS ARE REGISTERED THERE.
TONIGHT THE AUTHORITIES CONFIRM
THAT THE ISLAND'S MAIN AIRPORT
WILL STAY CLOSED FOR A SECOND
DAY.
THE ASH THAT YOU SAW THERE
SPEWING FROM MOUNT AGUNG HAS
MADE IT TOO DANGEROUS TO FLY.
>>> IN WASHINGTON A MOMENT IN
THE OVAL OFFICE IS GETTING A LOT
OF ATTENTION.
IT INVOLVES THE U.S. PRESIDENT
AND AN EVENT TO HONOUR NATIVE
AMERICAN WAR VETERANS AND HE
USED THE MOMENT TO MOCK A U.S.
?ARYTD CALLING HER POCAHONTAS.
>> President Donald Trump: WE
HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE THAT THEY
SAY WAS HERE A LONG TIME AGO AND
THEY CALL HER POCAHONTAS.
>> Andrew: TRUMP WAS REFERRING
TO DEMOCRATIC SENATOR ELIZABETH
WARREN AND IT HAS TO DO WITH HER
CLAIM OF HAVING DISTANT NATIVE
AMERICAN HERITAGE.
IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT
TRUMP
CALLED HER THAT NAME AND WARREN
SAID THAT THE TIMING WAS
UNFORTUNATE AND ACCUSED TRUMP OF
MAKING A RACIAL SLUR.
SOMETHING THAT THE WHITE HOUSE
PRESS SECRETARY SAID WAS NOT THE
CASE AT ALL.
>> Ian: WE KNOW THAT DONALD
TRUMP HAS TAKEN ON THE NEWSPAPER
INDUSTRY IN THE UNITED STATES
AND A LOT OF ATTENTION BACK AND
FORTH.
HERE IN CANADA A DIFFERENT
CHALLENGE FOR THAT INDUSTRY, A
DEAL BETWEEN TWO NEWSPAPER
GIANTS IS LEAVING MILLIONS OF
CANADIANS WITH LESS LOCAL NEWS
COVERAGE AND PUTTING HUNDREDS OF
PEOPLE OUT OF WORK AND RAISING
SOME SERIOUS QUESTIONS.
POST MEDIA AND TORSTAR
ANNOUNCING THEY'RE SWAPPING A
TOTAL OF 43 PROPERTIES, THE
MAJORITY SMALL NEWSPAPERS IN
ONTARIO AND MOST WILL BE
SHUT DOWN TO CONSOLIDATE
OPERATIONS WITH WHAT WAS A
COMPETING PAPER.
THE COMPANY SAYS THAT ALL OF
THIS WILL CUT COSTS AND MAXIMIZE
AD REVENUE.
AND THE DEAL ALSO INCLUDES FOUR
FREE COMMUTER PAPERS IN
VANCOUVER, WINNIPEG, AND TORONTO
AND OTTAWA.
THEY TOO WILL BE CLOSED.
NO CASH CHANGED HANDS BUT
THE DEAL WILL COST 290 PEOPLE
THEIR JOBS.
>>> OTTAWA MADE IT CLEAR THAT IT
WON'T BE OFFERING BAILOUTS WHEN
IT CONSIDERS THE INDUSTRY NO
LONGER VIABLE SO DOZENS OF
COMMUNITIES WILL WAKE UP
TOMORROW WITHOUT A LOCAL
NEWSPAPER, ONE OF THEM BARRIE,
ONTARIO, THAT'S AN HOUR NORTH OF
TORONTO.
SINCE BEFORE CONFEDERATION "THE
BARRIE EXAMINER" WAS A TRUSTED
SOURCE OF INFORMATION FOR MANY
IN THAT CITY.
THIS WAS THE FINAL FRONT PAGE
FROM THIS MORNING'S PAPER THAT
HEADLINE "OPEN FOR BUSINESS"
ABOUT THE LOCAL SKI HILL'S FIRST
DAY OF THE SEASON.
WE WENT TO BARRIE TO SET UP WHAT
WE CALL THE RED CHAIR, INVITED
PEOPLE TO SIT DOWN AND ASKED
THEM WHAT THEIR HOMETOWN PAPER
HAS MEANT TO THEM.
(*)
>> Interview: DO I TAKE MY
GLASSES OFF.
>> Interview: WHAT DOES "THE
BARRIE EXAMINER" MEAN TO ME, OR
TO YOU?
>> Interview: I ENJOY READING
IT.
AND I READ TODAY SOMETHING ABOUT
IT BEING CANCELLED OR SOMETHING
WHICH IS PRETTY DISAPPOINTING
BECAUSE I LIKE TO KEEP IN THE
LOOP.
>> Interview: I GREW UP
READING "THE BARRIE EXAMINER"
EVERY MORNING, BECAUSE I GREW UP
IN BARRIE AND I DID THE
CROSSWORDS AT LUNCH WITH MY
PARENTS.
>> Interview: STORIES OF THE
GROWTH AND THE BEAUTY OF OUR
TOWN, THAT'S WHAT "THE BARRIE
EXAMINER" MEANS.
(*)
>> Interview: YEAH, I HAVE
BEEN IN A COUPLE TIMES WHEN I
WAS YOUNGER.
WHEN I PLAYED SOCCER MY TEAM GOT
PUT IN "THE BARRIE EXAMINER" AND
ANOTHER TIME WHEN I WAS IN HIGH
SCHOOL FOR A DANCE.
>> Interview: I STILL HAVE
NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS FROM MY
DAUGHTER AND MY SON DOING
SPORTS.
MY GOSH, WHEN I WAS IN GRADE
EIGHT I WAS INTERVIEWED BY THE
PAPER FOR SOME PUBLIC SPEAKING
THAT I WAS DOING.
SO IT'S A HUGE PART OF MY PAST
AS WELL.
>> Interview: MAYBE IT'S THE
YOUNGER GENERATION THAT IT
DOESN'T AFFECT VERY MUCH, BUT
PEOPLE WHO GET UP A BIT, I STILL
READ PAPERS AND I STILL READ
BOOKS AND I STILL READ ALL OF
THAT INFORMATION, WHICH I WON'T
LOOK IT UP ONLINE.
>> Interview: IT'S A BUSINESS
AND PEOPLE WORK THERE AND IT'S
PEOPLE'S JOBS AND PEOPLE'S
LIVELIHOODS SO FROM THAT
STANDPOINT I SEE IT AS QUITE A
SHAME.
>> Interview: THIS IS OUR TOWN
AND WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS
GOING ON WITH US, AS OTHER
NEWSPAPERS COVER FAR AWAY, YOU
ALWAYS NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS
GOING ON AT HOME.
>> Interview: AS THEY'RE
CLOSING WE'RE LOSING A PART OF
THE SOUL OF BARRIE.
(*)
>> Ian: AND WE WILL BE TAKING
THAT RED CHAIR TO COMMUNITIES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY, GETTING YOUR
OPINIONS ON ISSUES OF THE DAY
AND THEN SHARING THEM HERE ON
"THE NATIONAL."
>> Andrew: STILL AHEAD ON "THE
>> Andrew: STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL" DRAKE'S "MORE LIFE"
BROKE STREAMING RECORDS, SO WHY
WON'T IT BE A GRAMMY CONTENDER
WHEN NOMINATIONS ARE ANNOUNCED
TODAY?
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE AWARD'S
TROUBLED HISTORY WITH RAP.
>> Adrienne: PLUS, REMEMBERING
MARLENE BIRD WHO MADE HEADLINES.
DUNCAN McCUE REVISITS HER
EMOTIONAL STORY.
>> Ian: AND RARE ACCESS TO THE
UNDERGROUND WORLD OF HUMAN
TRAFFICKING IN CANADA IN
TONIGHT'S SPECIAL "NATIONAL
DOCUMENTARY" HOW YOUNG CANADIAN
WOMEN ARE BEING SOLD FOR SEX.
>> Interview: WE NEED TO HELP
THEM, WE NEED TO HELP THESE
GIRLS.
THEY'RE GETTING BRUTALIZED EVERY
DAY, THEY'RE GETTING RAPED EVERY
DAY.
YOU KNOW, 15, 20 TIMES A DAY.
THEY'RE HUMAN BEINGS.
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE OUR CHILDREN.
(*)
>> Interview: I DIDN'T
UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO
ME.
I KNEW IT WASN'T RIGHT BUT I
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
I WAS BEING TRAFFICKED AND I HAD
NO IDEA THAT THERE WAS A WORD
FOR IT.
>> Ian: YOUNG, VULNERABLE AND
TARGETED.
WE'VE ALL HEARD TRAGIC STORIES
OF YOUNG GIRLS FROM AROUND THE
WORLD SEEKING A NEW LIFE IN
CANADA ONLY TO BE SOLD INTO
SEXUAL SLAVERY.
BUT YOU MAY BE SURPRISED TO
LEARN WHO THE HUMAN TRAFFICKERS
TARGET THE MOST.
AT LEAST 90% OF HUMAN
TRAFFICKING VICTIMS COME FROM
WITHIN CANADA, NOT FROM ABROAD,
AND THEY'RE YOUNG, AVERAGING
JUST 17 YEARS OLD.
IT'S SO SERIOUS THAT ALL MAJOR
CANADIAN COMMUNITY POLICE
DEPARTMENTS NOW
HAVE RESOURCES TO FIGHT HUMAN
TRAFFICKING.
PERHAPS UNSURPRISINGLY THIS
PROBLEM IS ESPECIALLY ACUTE IN
CANADA'S BIGGEST CITY.
AS OUR IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS
DISCOVERED WHILE TORONTO POLICE
HAVE DECLARED WAR ON HUMAN
TRAFFICKERS IT IS A HARD FIGHT.
HERE'S HER DOCUMENTARY,
"CANADA'S SILENT SHAME."
>> Reporter: 10:30 a.m. ON A
FRIDAY.
POLICE ARE LOOKING FOR A GIRL.
THEY DON'T CALL IT A RESCUE, BUT
THEY MAY AS WELL.
>> Reporter: TORONTO POLICE'S
HUMAN TRAFFICKING UNIT IS THE
LARGEST IN THE COUNTRY.
ITS MANDATE, TO FIND YOUNG,
OFTEN
UNDERAGE GIRLS, FORCED TO WORK
IN THE SEX TRADE.
>> Interview: THERE'S A GOOD
CHANCE THEY COULD BE UNDERAGE...
>> Reporter: THIS IS THE START
OF A STING, OFFICERS COMB ONLINE
SEX ADS LOOKING FOR
CLUES OF
EXPLOITATION.
WHEN THE AD SUGGESTS THAT
THEY'RE NEW TO TOWN, WHAT DOES
IT SUGGEST?
>> Interview: IT SUGGESTS THAT
THEY'RE MOVED CITY-TO-CITY SO
THEY DON'T STAY IN ONE LOCATION
FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
>> Reporter: IS THAT TO KEEP
THEM ISOLATED?
>> Interview: YES, ABSOLUTELY.
>> Reporter: MOST OF THE
OFFICERS WORK UNDERCOVER AND
IT'S WHY WE CAN'T IDENTIFY THEM.
>> Interview: ONE OF THE
CRITERIAS OF OBVIOUS
EXPLOITATION IS BRANDING.
>> Reporter: BRANDING?
WHAT IS THAT?
>> Interview: BRANDING IS
WHERE A PIMP OR SOMEONE WHO IS
CONTROLLING THE YOUNG LADY, THEY
HAVE A TATTOO APPLIED TO THEIR
CHEST OR SOMEWHERE ON THEIR BODY
THAT IS FAIRLY VISIBLE TO THE
PUBLIC AND IT SHOWS THAT
THEY'RE THE PROPERTY OF THE
PIMP.
YOU CAN SEE ON HER CHEST SHE HAS
AN AIR JORDAN STAMPING OR
TATTOO.
>> Reporter: THESE GIRLS ARE
TREATED AS PROPERTY?
>> Interview: THEY ARE, 100%.
>> Reporter: IT'S AN UGLY,
DEPRAVED WORLD, AND 95% OF THE
VICTIMS TRAPPED IN IT ARE
CANADIAN GIRLS.
>> Interview: I'LL DO THIS LIVE
THEN.
>> Reporter: TO FIND THEM,
POLICE SOMETIMES POSE AS
CLIENTS.
>> Interview: SO I'LL SAY THAT
I HAVE LANDED IN TORONTO AND
THAT I'LL
GO TO MY FIRST MEETING AND I'D
BE AVAILABLE FOR AN 11:30 MEET
WHERE WE CAN ATTEND.
SO I RECEIVED AN IMMEDIATE
RESPONSE THAT SHE WAITING FOR ME
AND SO I'M GOING TO SAY, HOW'S
11:00, 11:30?
SO, IT'S OKAY, BABY, SEE YOU.
SO THE DATE IS SET FOR 11:00,
11:30.
>> Reporter: THE TEAM SETS UP
TWO FAKE DATES TODAY.
BOTH HAPPEN TO BE IN THE SAME
HOTEL TWO BLOCKS AWAY FROM
POLICE HEADQUARTERS.
>> Interview: WE HAVE TWO
INVESTIGATIVE PROBES FOR TODAY.
>> Reporter: DETECTIVE
ROB HEITZNER IS IN CHARGE OF THE
OPERATION.
HE HAS AGREED TO SHOW HIS
IDENTITY.
>> THERE ARE PEOPLE INSIDE
DEBRIEFING...
>> Reporter: HUMAN TRAFFICKING
IS ALL ABOUT COERCION, VICTIMS
HAVE NO CONTROL, GIVE NO CONSENT
TO TRADING SEX FOR MONEY.
MONEY THEY NEVER HAVE SEEN.
>> Interview: ALL RIGHT, SO
THAT ONE WE HAVE TO BE EXTRA
CAUTIOUS, THERE'S SOME PIMP
LURKING IN THE BACKGROUND THERE.
WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
>> Reporter: THE OFFICERS ARE
ARMED AND BRING PROTECTIVE GEAR.
>> Interview: I SENT A TEXT TO
SAY I'M FIVE MINUTES OUT AND I'M
RUNNING A COUPLE MINUTES LATE
BUT ON THE WAY AND I'M WAITING
FOR A RESPONSE AND I HAVEN'T HAD
ANY RESPONSES YET.
>> Reporter: THIS OFFICER SET
UP ONE OF THE DATES AND HE FILLS
OUR CAMERAMAN IN ON THE PLAN.
>> Interview: I'LL GO INTO THE
HOTEL AND YOU CAN FOLLOW ME FROM
A LITTLE BIT OF A DISTANCE AND
BEFORE I GET THERE I'LL HAVE A
ROOM NUMBER AND EVERYBODY WILL
BE ON THE SAME PAGE AND KNOW
EXACTLY WHERE WE'RE GOING.
LET'S PULL IN HERE.
AND I'M ABOUT A MINUTE OUT AND
REQUESTING THE ROOM NUMBER.
>> Interview: WE'RE ON THE
YONGE SIDE AND I HAVE THE PEOPLE
WITH ME.
>> Interview: ROGER.
>> Interview: WE WAIT FOR A
RESPONSE.
SO SHE'S RESPONDING BACK, SHE
WANTS TO KNOW MY AGE AND MY
ETHNICITY.
SO I TOLD HER.
>> Interview: ROGER.
>> Interview: ALL RIGHT, IT
LOOKS LIKE THIS COULD BE FLUID.
SO SHE SAYS COME UP TO THE
15th FLOOR.
>> Interview: ROGER, SO WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE THE SECOND COVER
TEAM THAT WILL GO IN, ME AND
EVERYBODY, AND ONCE WE'RE IN
PLACE WE'LL BRING IT IN.
>> Interview: ROGER THAT.
>> Reporter: THE DETECTIVE
DOESN'T KNOW IF HE'S TEXTING
WITH THE YOUNG WOMAN IN THE AD.
IT COULD BE HER PIMP.
THESE OPERATIONS ARE DANGEROUS.
PIMPS ARE OFTEN LURKING NEARBY
AND ARE OFTEN ARMED.
THIS COULD BE A SET-UP.
>> Reporter: SEVERAL MOMENTS
GO BY.
OKAY, SO WHAT HAPPENED?
>> Interview: RIGHT NOW FROM
WHAT I SAW WHEN I WENT IT
DOESN'T APPEAR THAT
SHE'S NOT UNDERAGE, SHE'S YOUNG,
PROBABLY EARLY 20s AND THE
NUMBER ONE THING THAT WE NOTICED
IS THAT SHE'S NOT THE GIRL IN
THAT PAGE.
SO THAT'S ANOTHER COMMON THING
WHEN WE SET UP THESE PROBES, YOU
KNOW, BASED ON BELIEVING THAT
THE GIRL IS UNDERAGE AND THAT
THOSE PICTURES ARE THE PERSON
YOU'RE GOING TO MEET AND IN THIS
CASE IT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT
PERSON AND USING SOMEONE ELSE'S
PHOTOS IN THEIR AD AND, AGAIN,
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COMMONLY
SEE WHEN WE DO THESE PROBES.
>> Reporter: WHEN YOUR
OFFICERS ARE IN THERE TALKING TO
HER, HOW ARE THEY TRYING TO
ESTABLISH WHETHER OR NOT SHE'S
BEEN TRAFFICKED?
>> Interview: ONCE WE GET THE
CONVERSATION GOING WE START TO
GET INTO THE INDICATORS THAT
MAYBE SHE'S NOT IN CONTROL OF
WHAT SHE'S DOING BY ASKING
QUESTIONS BUT IT'S A REPOIRE
THING TOO, RIGHT?
YOU HAVE TO WARM UP TO PEOPLE
AND YOU CAN'T JUST WALK IN AND
SAY, HEY, YOU'RE TRAFFICKED,
RIGHT?
THAT'S GOING TO LEAD TO ZERO
SUCCESS.
>> Reporter: THE WOMAN TELLS
POLICE SHE USED TO BE TRAFFICKED
BUT INSISTS THAT SHE'S NOW AN
INDEPENDENT SEX WORKER.
THE DETECTIVES LEAVE THEIR
CONTACT INFORMATION ANYWAY AND
THEY SOMETIMES GET CALLS WEEKS,
MONTHS LATER.
>> Interview: IN TERMS OF
GETTING DISCLOSURES IT'S NOT AN
IDEAL SITUATION AND THE REALITY
IS THEY'RE IN A HOTEL ROOM AND
IF THEY'RE BEING TRAFFICKED THEY
KNOW THAT THEIR PIMP IS NEARBY
AND AT THE VERY LEAST HE'S ON
THE PHONE AND HE'S CHECKING ON
THEM AND CONTROLLING THEM IN
THAT WAY AND A LOT OF TIMES THE
PIMPS ARE IN OR NEAR THE HOTELS
SO IT'S NOT IDEA FOR A
DISCLOSURE OF THEM BEING
TRAFFICKED, YOU FOLLOW WHAT I'M
SAYING, BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MANY
SAYING, BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MANY
CASES ON THE GO AND SO MANY
OTHER AVENUES WHERE WE'RE
INTRODUCED TO VICTIMS AND
DISCLOSURES ARE GAINED THAT WE
CAN'T SPEND A TONNE OF TIME ON
THIS.
>> Reporter: THE UNIT HAS
NEARLY 160 CASES ON THE GO.
>> I'LL TALK TO YOU GUYS AFTER
THE FACT.
>> FROM PROJECT PINE ALEL, CHRIS
IS VISITING A VICTIM TODAY AT
COVENANT HOUSE...
>> Reporter: STINGS ARE ONE
WAY OF FINDING VICTIMS.
POLICE ALSO GET CALLS FROM
COMMUNITY GROUPS, FRONTLINE
OFFICERS AND PARENTS.
SERGEANT DETECTIVE NUNZIO
TRAMONTOZZI RUNS THE UNIT.
>> HOW MANY VICTIMS?
>> THERE'S SEVEN VICTIMS.
>> Reporter: 60% OF THE UNIT'S
VICTIMS ARE UNDER 16.
THE YOUNGEST WAS 12.
>> Interview: YOU'VE GOTTEN A
STATEMENT FROM THEM, FROM THE
GIRL?
>> Interview: YEAH.
>> Interview: OKAY.
THESE GIRLS ARE BASICALLY THE
GIRL NEXT DOOR.
THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE.
THEY'RE GIRLS, YOU KNOW, THAT
COULD BE YOUR DAUGHTER.
THEY COULD BE YOUR NIECE, YOUR
GRANDDAUGHTER.
THEY COME FROM ALL WALKS OF
LIFE.
NOT JUST MARGINALIZED AREAS.
WHERE WE DO HAVE VICTIMS, BUT
THEY COME FROM, YOU KNOW,
PARENTS WHO ARE LAWYERS,
DOCTORS, POLICE OFFICERS.
SO IT DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE AT
ALL.
>> Reporter: SCHOOLS, MALLS
AMUSEMENT PARKS, ALL ARE
PREDATORS' HUNTING GROUNDS AND
TRAMONTOZZI SAYS INCREASINGLY SO
IS
SOCIAL MEDIA.
>> Interview: THESE PIMPS,
THEY KNOW WHERE TO TROLL.
A GIRL WHO SAYS ON HER FACEBOOK
ACCOUNT, I'M NOT FEELING SO
PRETTY TODAY.
THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT, YOU
KNOW, AND THEY'LL SAY, HEY, I
WISH YOU WERE MY GIRLFRIEND, I
THINK THAT YOU LOOK FINE.
AND THAT'S HOW IT STARTS.
THAT PROCESS, THAT LURING AND
GROOMING PROCESS WHERE THEY
EXCHANGE TELEPHONE NUMBERS NOW
AND THEN THEY MEET AND THEY
START TALKING AND THEY START
BECOMING, YOU KNOW, BOYFRIEND
AND GIRLFRIEND TYPE OF
RELATIONSHIP, RIGHT?
WHERE HE STARTS SHOWERING GIFTS
ON THE GIRL.
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE'S
HOOKED.
>> Reporter: HOW LONG DOES
THAT TAKE?
>> Interview: IT DOESN'T TAKE
VERY LONG.
YOU KNOW, THAT PROCESS USUALLY
TAKES TWO, THREE DAYS.
>> Reporter: THAT'S SHOCKING.
>> Interview: FOUR DAYS.
>> Reporter: TWO TO THREE DAYS
FOR A GIRL SUDDENLY TO BE
TRAFFICKED?
>> Interview: YES, AND IT'S A
VERY SMALL WINDOW.
>> Reporter: DOES THAT
SURPRISE YOU?
>> Interview: IT DOES, IT
DOES.
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT THAT WOULD
EVER HAPPEN, BUT WE SEE IT DAY
IN AND DAY OUT, EVERY DAY.
WE HAVE SEEN 204 VICTIMS HERE IN
THE LAST 3 1/2 YEARS.
OKAY?
AND THE STORIES ARE ALMOST THE
SAME.
FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
YOU KNOW, AT THE END OF THE DAY
THEY'RE SELLING THESE GIRLS A
DREAM.
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
>> Interview: THE BEST WAY I
CAN DESCRIBE IT IS THAT I HAD
HIT THE JACKPOT.
>> Reporter: NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL," A HUMAN TRAFFICKING
SURVIVOR AND POLICE RIP THE VEIL
OFF THE SILENCE.
>> Interview: THIS IS THE BEST
MY LIFE HAS EVER BEEN.
I HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO
TAKE CARE OF ME, I DON'T HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING.
THE BEST WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT
IS THAT I HAD HIT THE JACKPOT.
>> Reporter: CARLY DOESN'T
WANT US TO SHOW HER FACE.
SHE ESPECIALLY DOESN'T WANT HER
GRANDMOTHER TO KNOW.
SHE WAS A RUNAWAY AND HOOKED ON
HEROIN WHEN SHE MET HER
TRAFFICKERS.
THEY TOOK HER IN, AND SHE SAYS
THAT THEY TOOK CARE OF HER.
>> Interview: THEY ASKED ME
ABOUT MY FAMILY AND THEY ASKED
ME ABOUT MY FRIENDS AND THEY
ASKED ME WHY I WAS HOMELESS AND
THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY ASKED ME
ABOUT MY HOPES AND DREAMS FOR
THE FUTURE.
I FELT SO SPECIAL.
>> Reporter: HOW LONG DID THAT
HONEYMOON PHASE LAST?
>> Interview: NOT LONG.
IT DIDN'T TAKE
LONG, MY HONEYMOON STAGE WAS
PROBABLY TWO DAYS.
>> Reporter: AT THAT POINT HER
TRAFFICKERS TOLD HER SHE OWED
THEM AND SHE AGREED TO TURN
TRICKS AND LOST ALL CONTROL.
>> Interview: THEY TOOK MY
PHOTOS AND THEY POSTED MY AD AND
THEY PUT THEIR CELLPHONE NUMBER
ON THAT AD AND THEY TOOK THE
PHONE CALLS.
THEY DECIDED WHAT SERVICES I
WOULD PROVIDE.
AND THEY DECIDED HOW MANY PEOPLE
I WOULD SEE A DAY AND THEY
DECIDED HOW MUCH MONEY I WOULD
CHARGE AND HALF OF THE TIME I
HAD NO IDEA WHO WAS COMING TO MY
DOOR OR WHAT SERVICES.
I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS
HAPPENING TO ME AND I KNEW THAT
IT WASN'T RIGHT BUT I DIDN'T
KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
I WAS BEING TRAFFICKED AND I HAD
NO IDEA THAT THERE WAS A WORD
FOR IT.
>> Interview: HELLO,
EVERYBODY... THANKS FOR HAVING
US.
SO I'M CARLY AND I'M A COMMUNITY
OUTREACH WORKER IN OUR
EAST METRO WORK SERVICES, A
GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE PROGRAM.
>> Reporter: FOUR YEARS LATER
CARL SECLEAN AND OUT OF THE GAME
BUT HER STORY STILL DEFINES HER.
>> Interview: I GOT OUT
BECAUSE OF A POLICE OFFICER.
AND I THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT
TO TELL THIS STORY BECAUSE HE
GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE PROGRAM.
>> Reporter: FOUR YEARS LATER
CARL SECLEAN AND OUT OF THE GAME
BUT HER STORY STILL DEFINES HER.
>> Interview: I GOT OUT
BECAUSE OF A POLICE OFFICER.
AND I THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT
TO TELL THIS STORY BECAUSE HE
DID EVERYTHING RIGHT.
>> Reporter: A POLICE OFFICER
FOUND HER DURING A STING.
>> Interview: HE BOOKED A FAKE
APPOINTMENT AND HE SAW MY BACK
PAGE AD AND HE SAW THE WARNING
SIGNS SO HE SHOWED UP AT MY DOOR
AND SHOWED HIS BADGE AND HE CAME
IN.
HE SAT THERE AND HE SPOKE TO ME
LIKE I WAS A HUMAN BEING.
>> Reporter: CARLY NOW HELPS
VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING AND SHE
ALSO EDUCATES FRONTLINE OFFICERS
SO THEY CAN SPOT THOSE VICTIMS.
SHE NO LONGER THINKS OF HERSELF
AS ONE.
BUT SHE STILL STRUGGLES WITH THE
SHAME.
>> Interview: THE HARDEST
THING FOR ME WAS THAT I DIDN'T
KNOW OR THAT I AGREED TO THIS OR
THAT I DIDN'T LEAVE, YOU KNOW.
THERE'S A LOT OF SELF-BLAME AND
THERE'S A LOT OF SHAME THAT GOES
ALONG WITH WORKING IN THE SEX
TRADE OR BEING INVOLVED IN THE
TRAFFICKING SITUATION.
>> Reporter: CARLY IS RIPPING
THE VEIL OFF THE SILENCE.
SO ARE POLICE.
AWARENESS, TRAMONTOZZI SAYS, IS
CRITICAL AND IT FEELS PERSONAL.
>> Interview: I THINK OF MY
DAUGHTER, MY DAUGHTER IS 15.
YOU KNOW, MY DAUGHTER IS AT THAT
AGE WHERE THEY RECRUIT, OKAY?
SHE'S IN HIGH SCHOOL, GRADE 10,
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.
AND, YOU KNOW WHAT, WHEN I SEE
THESE GIRLS, THAT COULD BE MY
DAUGHTER AND THAT'S WHAT DRIVES
ME.
I THINK THAT I'M GOING TO GO UP
THERE...
>> Reporter: HIS MESSAGE IS
STARK.
>> Interview: THIS CRIME IS
ABOUT TWO THINGS AND TWO THINGS
ONLY -- POWER OVER THE VICTIM
AND MONEY.
OKAY?
THAT IS IT.
>> Reporter: THE MONEY IS
STAGGERING.
PIMPS MAKE AT LEAST $250,000 A
YEAR OFF EVERY VICTIM.
AND THEY OFTEN HAVE WHAT THEY
CALL A STABLE OF GIRLS.
>> Interview: WE HAVE PIMPS
THAT ARE DRIVING BENTLEYS,
FERRARIS AND MASERATIS AND
THEY'RE OUT THERE BECAUSE
THEY'RE MAKING THAT MUCH MONEY
FROM THESE GIRLS.
>> Reporter: AND, REMEMBER,
THE GIRLS DON'T GET A CENT.
THEY BARELY GET A MEAL A DAY.
[Applause]
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
[Applause]
>> Interview: YOU WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT NO OTHER GIRL HAS TO
GO THROUGH THIS, RIGHT, AND IT
DOES, IT KEEPS YOU UP AT NIGHT,
IT REALLY DOES.
WE NEED TO HELP THEM, WE NEED TO
HELP THESE GIRLS, YOU KNOW,
THEY'RE GETTING BRUTALIZED EVERY
DAY.
THEY'RE GETTING RAPED EVERY DAY.
YOU KNOW, 15, 20 TIMES A DAY.
THEY'RE HUMAN BEINGS, YOU KNOW,
THEY'RE OUR CHILDREN.
>> OUR OBJECTIVE FOR TODAY IS TO
IDENTIFY INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE
WILLING TO MAKE PURCHASES OF
UNDERAGE GIRLS SO OBTAINING TO
PURCHASE SEXUAL SERVICES OF AN
INDIVIDUAL UNDER THE AGE OF 18.
>> Reporter: SINCE THE HUMAN
TRAFFICKING UNIT WAS CREATED IN
2014, DETECTIVES HAVE MADE MORE
THAN 250 ARRESTS AND LAID MORE
THAN 1700 CHARGES.
THEY'VE NAILED PIMPS AND JOHNS
TOO.
THAT'S WHO THEY'RE AFTER TODAY.
>> GUYS, ONE LAST POINT.
THE HE TELEDOESN'T THAN WE'RE
OPERATING IN THEIR FACILITIES
AND WE'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT.
>> Reporter: WE MEET UP WITH
OFFICERS AT AN EASTEND HOTEL.
>> Interview: SO THIS WOULD BE
AN ARREST AND THE TAKEDOWN AREA
AND THIS IS THE OPERATIONAL ROOM
AND EVERYBODY IN HERE HAS A
SPECIFIC ROLE AND MAKING SURE
THAT WE'RE SAFE, YOU KNOW, THAT
A GANG OF RIVAL TRAFFICKERS
AREN'T COMING IN HERE WITH
MACHINE GUNS AND MACHETES TO
ATTACK US.
>> Reporter: WHO ARE YOU
POSING AS?
>> Interview: I'M POSING AS A
20-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
>> Reporter: THE OFFICERS HAVE
POSTED THEIR OWN FAKE AD, THE
GIRL IN IT IS 20, BUT AS SOON AS
ANY TRANSACTION BEGINS SHE'LL
REVEAL THAT SHE'S ACTUALLY 17.
>> Interview: YOU'RE ACTING AS
A 17-YEAR-OLD PERSON THAT IS
SELLING SEX BUT THE REALITY IS
THAT WE'RE GATHERING EVIDENCE.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE.
>> Reporter: THE AD GOES LIVE
AND WE'RE ASKED TO LEAVE THE
ROOM.
POLICE SAY THAT MOST POTENTIAL
JOHNS BACK OUT WHEN THEY REALIZE
THAT THEY'RE ENGAGING WITH
SOMEONE SO YOUNG.
THAT THEY'RE ENGAGING WITH
SOMEONE SO YOUNG.
BUT ONE DOESN'T.
THIS MAN THINKS HE'S ON HIS WAY
TO
HAVE SEX WITH A 17-YEAR-OLD GIRL
AND HE'S ARRESTED AS SOON AS SHE
WALKS INTO THE HOTEL ROOM.
>> Interview: HE SHOWED UP AS
PROMISED AND HE WAS SURVEILLED
UP TO THIS LOCATION WHERE HE WAS
ARRESTED BY AN ARREST TEAM
INSIDE OF THE ROOM.
I LOOK AT IT AS A TRIANGLE AND I
LOOK AT IT AS THERE'S VICTIMS,
THERE'S TRAFFICKERS, PIMPS,
AND THERE'S TRAFFICKERS, PIMPS
AND THE PURCHASER, THE PEOPLE
BUYING THE SERVICE, AND EACH
PERSON HAS A ROLE IN THESE TYPES
OF INVESTIGATIONS.
AND, YES, WE WANT TO DO
EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN FOR THE
VICTIMS AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE
DOING THE WORK AND WHY ALL OF
THESE PEOPLE ARE DOING THEIR
WORK AND AT THE SAME TIME WE
DEFINITELY TAKE SERIOUS THE FACT
THAT WE NEED TO LOCK THESE GUYS
UP.
>> Reporter: THE MAN IS
ESCORTED OUT THE BACK ENTRANCE,
TAKEN TO A NEARBY POLICE
STATION.
THAT'S WHERE HE'LL BE BOOKED
WITH ATTEMPTING TO HAVE SEX WITH
A MINOR.
IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Ian: AND IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS
IS JOINING US NOW AND I'M SURE
THAT A LOT OF PARENTS ARE
WATCHING AND WONDERING, HOW CAN
THEY SPOT THE WARNING SIGNS?
>> Interview: THEY'RE PRETTY
OBVIOUS IN TERMS OF
INAPPROPRIATE DRESSING AND A
YOUNG GIRL DRESSING
INAPPROPRIATELY AND HAVING
EXPENSIVE CLOTHING AND A
DESIGNER HANDBAG, SOMETHING OUT
OF REACH FOR A PERSON THAT YOUNG
YOUNG.
THEY IDENTIFY THEIR TRAFFICKER
AS THEIR BOYFRIEND YET THEY'RE
RELUCTANT TO BRING THEM HOME.
THOSE ARE THE WARNING SIGNS THAT
POLICE SAY THAT PARENTS HAVE TO
KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR.
>> Ian: WHAT DO POLICE SAY THAT
PARENTS CAN DO IN THAT
SITUATION?
>> Reporter: FIRST OFF, BE
VERY AWARE OF WHAT YOUR KIDS DO
ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND THAT'S A
HUGE HUNTING GROUND FOR
PREDATORS AND COMMUNICATE WITH
YOUR KIDS AND SOMETHING
OLD-FASHIONED BE UNCONDITIONALLY
LOVING OF YOUR CHILD SO THAT'S A
HUGE PART OF THE REASON THAT THE
VICTIMS ARE
SO VULNERABLE.
AND ULTIMATELY IF THESE WORRY
SIGNS ARE COMING UP, CALL
POLICE.
THEY GET A LOT OF CALLS FROM
PARENTS AND THAT'S WHAT THEY
FOLLOW UP ON.
>> Ian: IOANNA THANK YOU.
>> Reporter: YOU'RE WELCOME.
>> Ian: AS IOANNA DISCOVERED,
ONE OF THE BEST WEAPONS THAT
TRAFFICKERS HAVE IS A LACK OF
KNOWLEDGE ON HOW THEY OPERATE
BUT YOU CAN ARM YOURSELF WITH
INFORMATION, EXPLORE OUR ONLINE
COMPANION PIECE "HIDDEN CRIMES"
AT cbcnews.ca/thenational.

>> Andrew: ED SHEERAN IS A
FAMILIAR
NAME TO HEAR WHEN THE GRAMMY
NOMINATIONS ARE ANNOUNCED AND
HE'S SINGLED OUT AS A CONTENDER
FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR BUT
THERE'S ONE MEGA-STAR THAT
PROBABLY WON'T BE MENTIONED.
CANADIAN RAPPER, DRAKE.
HIS MOST RECENT ALBUM REPORTEDLY
WASN'T EVEN SUBMITTED FOR
CONSIDERATION AND AS ELI GLASNER
TELLS US THAT COULD HAVE MORE TO
DO WITH THE AWARDS THAN THE
ALBUM.
>> Reporter: DRAKE CALLS "MORE
LIFE" A PLAYLIST AND THE
INDUSTRY CALLS IT AN ALBUM, BUT
WHATEVER IT IS "MORE LIFE" IS
POPULAR.
WHEN IT DEBUTED IT BROKE THE
RECORD FOR MOST STREAMS IN A
SINGLE WEEK SO WHY NOT SUBMIT IT
FOR A GRAMMY?
FLASH BACK TO FEBRUARY WHERE
DRAKE VENTED FRUSTRATIONS WITH
THE GRAMMYS FOR OVERLOOKING HOT
"HOTLINE BLING" IN THE POP
CATEGORY.
>> Interview: THE ONLY
CATEGORY THAT THEY CAN MANAGE TO
FIT ME IN IS IN A RAP CATEGORY
BECAUSE, MAYBE BECAUSE I'VE
RAPPED IN THE PAST OR BECAUSE
I'M BLACK.
>> Reporter: WHEN IT COMES TO
APPRECIATING HIP-HOP
HISTORICALLY THE GRAMMYS HAVE
BEEN OUT OF TUNE.
>> Interview: SOME OF THE
GREATEST RAP IN THE HISTORY OF
THE MUSIC FORM LIKE PUBLIC ENEMY
AND TUPAC AND IT GOES ON AND ON
HAVE NEVER WON A GRAMMY AWARD.
SO WE TALK ABOUT THE HISTORY OF
THE GRAMMIES AND ENGAGING RAP
CONSTITUENCIES AND IT'S BEEN
POOR FROM THE JUMP.
* LET ME BREAK IT DOWN FOR YOU
AGAIN *
>> Reporter: IN THE BEST ALBUM
CATEGORY IT IS THE ONLY HIP-HOP
ARTISTS THAT HAVE WON ARE LAUREN
HILL AND OUTKAST, AND NEVER IN
THE BEST CATEGORIES.
SHE'S NOT A GRAMMY FAN.
>> Interview: IT'S RUN BY
GATEKEEPERS THAT HAVE NO
RELEVANCE IN RAP MUSIC RIGHT
NOW.
>> Reporter: SHE FINDS HER
FANS ON STREAMING SITES LIKE
SPOTIFY.
AS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY SWITCHES
TO DIGITAL SALES,
THE POPULARITY OF HIP-HOP IS
BECOMING CLEARER.
THIS SUMMER NIELSON MUSIC
REPORTED THAT IN THE U.S.,
HIP-HOP AND R&B DETHRONED ROCK
MUSIC AS THE MOST POPULAR GENRE.
WHETHER IT'S THE GRAMMYS IN THE
U.S. OR CANADA'S JUNO AWARDS,
HIP-HOP BOOSTERS SAY THAT AWARD
SHOWS THAT DON'T TELEVISE RAP
CATEGORIES ARE MISSING
OPPORTUNITIES.
>> Interview: SO THAT'S WHY
YOU HAVE THE
DISRESPECT OF PEOPLE WINNING BUT
THEY DON'T WIN A TELEVISED AWARD
THOUGH THOSE THAT ARE NOT
TELEVISED COULD BE THE BIGGEST
AWARDS OF THE WHOLE NIGHT AND
THE MOST RELEVANT, ESPECIALLY
IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUTH
CULTURE.
>> Reporter: UNTIL IT CHANGES
ARTISTS LIKE DRAKE WILL LET
THEIR SALES SPEAK FOR THEM.

INSIDE OF OUR JOURNALISM EVERY
AFTERNOO
>> Adrienne: TONIGHT WE ARE
MARKING THE DEATH OF MARLENE
BIRD.
THE INDIGENOUS SASKATCHEWAN
WOMAN ENDURED A BRUTAL ATTACK ON
THE STREET THAT BROUGHT HER TO
NATIONAL ATTENTION.
DUNCAN MCHUE WAS TOUCHED BY THE
FACT THAT DESPITE ALL HER
SUFFERING MARLENE BIRD ALSO
FOUND LOVE.
TONIGHT, HE LOOKS BACK ON HER
LIFE.
>> Reporter: HER FINAL DAYS WERE
HERE AT THE PRINCE ALBERT
HOSPITAL, A FIGHTER, WITH HER
FAMILY AND PARTNER, PATRICK
LAVALLEE, AT HER SIDE.
>> SHE WAS A STRONG WOMAN.
STRONG-WILLED.
SHE DID A LOT OF HELP WITH A LOT
OF PEOPLE.
>> Reporter: MARLENE BIRD'S NAME
BECAME HEADLINE NEWS, VICTIM OF
A CRIME THAT SHOCKED THE
COUNTRY.
A HOMELESS CREE WOMAN IN PRINCE
ALBERT BEATEN, ASSAULTED, SET ON
FIRE.
SHE SURVIVED, BUT LOST PART OF
HER EYESIGHT AND BOTH HER LEGS.
HER INJURIES WERE HORRIFIC.
BUT THIS IS HOW I REMEMBER HER,
ENJOYING TIME WITH PATRICK.
HER LAUGHTER.
HER QUICK TONGUE.
I DID A DOCUMENTARY WITH MARLENE
IN 2014, SIX MONTHS AFTER SHE
WAS ASSAULTED.
I WANTED TO KNOW HER STORY.
TURNED OUT TO BE HEARTWRENCHING.
LEARNING WHAT MARLENE HAD FACED
AND SURVIVED, A DIFFICULT STORY
TO HEAR.
IT WAS CHALLENGING TO SHARE
VISUALLY, TOO, SO WE BROUGHT IN
A GRAPHIC ARTIST TO ILLUSTRATE
MARLENE'S YOUTH, GROWING UP IN A
FAMILY THAT ABUSED ALCOHOL, LIFE
AT RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL, WHERE SHE
WAS SEXUALLY ABUSED.
THERE WERE MEN IN HER LIFE THAT
BEAT HER.
HER TWO DAUGHTERS WERE
APPREHENDED.
IT ALL LED TO LIFE ON THE
STREETS.
THEN THAT VICIOUS ASSAULT.
MARLENE'S INJURIES WERE
LIFE-CHANGING.
SHE STRUGGLED TO ADJUST TO A
WHEELCHAIR, TO FIND A HOME, TO
PAY BILLS.
THE TRAUMA DROVE HER TO DRINK.
>> I DON'T MEAN TO HAVE
SELF-PITY, BUT I MISS MY LEGS.
>> Reporter: EVENTUALLY SHE AND
PATRICK, HOMELESS FOR SO LONG,
GOT A HOUSE IN THE NORTHERN
COMMUNITY OF TIMBER BAY.
BEING AN AMPUTEE WAS A DARK
CLOUD OVER HER LIFE.
THEIR LOVE STORY WAS A SILVER
LINING.
HER ATTACKER PLEADED GUILTY TO
ATTEMPTED MURDER, BUT LESLIE
BLACK'S CASE DRAGGED ON FOR
MONTHS, THEN YEARS.
MARLENE OFTEN ATTENDED COURT.
FINALLY THIS SEPTEMBER, HE WAS
SENTENCED TO 16 YEARS IN JAIL.
MARLENE WAS SATISFIED.
>> I AM DOING MY BEST.
MY MOM TOLD ME TO FORGIVE PEOPLE
THAT DO WRONG.
I LEARNED IT FROM MY MOM.
>> Reporter: THE COURT PROCESS,
THE RETELLING, BROUGHT FRESH
PAIN.
SHE WAS DRINKING AGAIN, ON AND
OFF.
SHE ENDED UP IN HOSPITAL, HER
LIVER AND KIDNEYS FAILING.
MARLENE BIRD DIED TODAY, 50
YEARS OLD.
>> WHEN I DREAM ABOUT MYSELF
HAVING LEGS, WHEN I WAKE UP, I
HAVE NO LEGS.
I DO SEE MYSELF WALKING FAR,
LIKE I USED TO.
>> Adrienne: THAT'S THE NATIONAL
FOR NOVEMBER 27.
THANKS FOR WATCHING.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Ian: GOOD NIGHT.
