>> Ian: IT IS WEDNESDAY JANUARY
31st, THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
>> Andrew: A MOMENT FOR WOMEN IN
THE R.C.M.P. IN THE ME TOO
MOVEMENT.
>> Ian: NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
ALLEGED PLOT TO FIX THE PRICE OF
YOUR BREAD.
WHY CANADIAN GROCERS AND
BAKERIES ARE ACTING LIKE A
CARTEL.
>> Ian: WE DRILL DOWN INTO THE
STATE OF TEXAS, IT'S NOT JUST A
POLITICAL PIPE DREAM FOR
DEMOCRATS.
>>> STARTING WITH THE #METOO
MOVEMENT THAT SENDS SHOCKWAVES
AROUND THE WORLD.
TONIGHT IT IS ROCKING TWO OF THE
COUNTRY'S MOST ESTEAMED
INSTITUTIONS ON PARLIAMENT HILL,
AN INVESTIGATION AND RETIREMENT
AMID ALLEGATIONS OF HARASSMENT
AND ASSAULT.
WE'LL HAVE MORE ON THAT IN A
MOMENT.
AND CBC NEWS HAS LEARNED
HUNDREDS OF WOMEN IN THE
R.C.M.P. ARE SAYING #METOO,
JOINING A CLASS ACTION
SETTLEMENT ALLEGING HARASSMENT
AND DISCRIMINATION.
INCLUDING THIS WOMAN...
>> I HAD A SUPERVISOR GRAB ME
AND KISS ME AND I -- HE WANTED
TO ENGAGE IN A LOT MORE THAN
THAT AND I REFUSED.
>> Andrew: IT WAS THOUGHT AROUND
1500 WOMEN WOULD FILE BUT NOW IT
COULD HIT 4,000.
ABOUT 20,000 WOMEN HAVE WORKED
FOR THE R.C.M.P., SO IT WOULD
REPRESENT ONE IN FIVE WOMEN WHO
HAVE WORKED THERE.
PART OF THE INVESTIGATIVE TEAM
THAT BROKE THE STORY...
>> Reporter: 1974, THE YEAR THE
R.C.M.P. FIRST ALLOWED WOMEN TO
BECOME POLICE OFFICERS.
MANY WOMEN WHO SIGNED UP AND IN
THE DECADES SINCE WERE MET WITH
SOME MEN WHO WERE HOSTILE,
SEXIST AND ABUSIVE.
>> MY FIRST YEAR THE PERCEPTION
OF THE R.C.M.P. CHANGED.
>> Reporter: SHE WAS FORCED TO
TAKE MEDICAL LEAVE FROM THE
MOUNTIES AFTER YEARS OF HER BOSS
HITTING ON HER.
SHE STILL FEARS HIM SO WE'RE
CONCEALING HER IDENTITY.
>> I LOVED THE WORK WE WERE
DOING BUT THE WORK WITH THE
SUPERVISOR WAS DIFFICULT AND
BECAUSE I REFUSED THE ADVANCES
THERE WAS BULLYING AND
INTIMIDATION AND MOCKING ME IN
FRONT OF PEOPLE AFTERWARDS.
THAT WENT ON FOR MANY YEARS.
>> Reporter: SHE'S ONE OF MANY
COMING FORWARD, EMBOLDENED BY
THE ME TOO MOVEMENT.
ALL PART OF A CLASS ACTION
SETTLEMENT THAT INCLUDED THIS
APOLOGY.
>> I STAND HUMBLY BEFORE YOU AND
OFFER OUR SINCERE APOLOGY.
WE HURT YOU.
FOR THAT I'M TRULY SORRY.
>> Reporter: THIS FORMER
R.C.M.P. INSPECTOR HELPED TO
SPHEREHEAD THE CLASS ACTION.
>> Interview: I RECEIVED SINCE
YESTERDAY I WOULD SAY
APPROXIMATELY 30 CALLS.
>> Reporter: SHE IS HELPING
OTHERS FILE THE CLAIM, MANY
WOMEN STILL ON THE FORCE WHO SAY
LITTLE HAS CHANGED.
THIS CLASS ACTION IS UNCOVERING
ALL SORTS OF UGLY HISTORY.
CBC OBTAINED A LETTER FOUND IN
MAILBOXES OF SOME WOMEN AT THE
R.C.M.P. WHO SPOKE UP, A
SO-CALLED HURT FEELINGS REPORT,
MOCKINGLY ASKING IF THE
RECIPIENT IS A CRY BABY OR
WORSE.
>> BOY WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO.
WHETHER IT WAS FIVE YEARS AGO OR
FIVE YEARS IN THE FUTURE OR NOW,
THERE'S NO PLACE FOR THIS IN THE
WORK FORCE.
>> Reporter: THE R.C.M.P. WON'T
COMMENT ON THE HURTS FEELING
REPORT BUT HAS BEGUN INITIATIVES
TO IMPROVE THE WORK PLACE BUT
WON'T SAY IF IT INCLUDES
SPECIFIC TRAINING FOR SEXUAL
HARASSMENT.
>> Andrew: THE INITIAL
SETTLEMENT AMOUNT WAS
$100 MILLION BUT AS MORE WOMEN
HAVE FILED, THAT AMOUNT WILL GO
UP.
THE APPLICATION PROCESS IS LONG
AND DETAILED.
IT INCLUDES A 33-PAGE CLAIM
FORM, ASKING WOMEN TO DETAIL
DATES, TIMES, WITNESSES, WHETHER
IT WAS REPORTED, WHO IT WAS
REPORTED TO AND THE
PSYCHOLOGICAL OR PHYSICAL
REPERCUSSIONS.
WE HAVE MEGAN McPHEE JOINING US,
A LAWYER BASED IN TORONTO
REPRESENTING ONE OF THE
PLAINTIFFS WHO HAS LAUNCHED THE
CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.
JUST ON A HUMAN LEVEL, THE THING
I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW, HOW HARD OF
A PROCESS IS THIS TO GO THROUGH.
MY UNDERSTANDING, THE
QUESTIONNAIRE ITSELF HAS A
TRIGGER WARNING AT THE TOP.
>> Interview: IT DOES.
THE MEMBERS WE'RE TALKING TO ARE
SAYING HOW DIFFICULT IT HAS BEEN
TO PUT TOGETHER THE CLAIMS.
THEY'RE DEALING WITH ISSUES THEY
HAVE COME PART MENTALLIZED FOR
MANY YEARS TO DO THEIR JOBS AND
NOW THEY HAVE TO GO BACK AND
REVISIT THE TRIMMIAUMAS.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME LIBERATING
TO HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD.
>> Andrew: SOME OF THESE WOMEN,
DO THEY STILL WORK FOR THE
R.C.M.P.?
>> Interview: THERE'S A
SIGNIFICANT PORTION THAT DO
STILL WORK FOR THE R.C.M.P. AND
THAT'S WHY THE CONFIDENTIALITY
MECHANISMS IN PLACE ARE SO
IMPORTANT.
IT IS ADMINISTERED FROM A FORMER
JUDGE AND THE R.C.M.P. DOESN'T
FIND OUT WHO COMES FORWARD.
>> Andrew: BUT TO GO THROUGH THE
PROCESS AND HAVE TO DO YOUR
DAILY JOB, YOU MENTIONED SOME OF
THE PROCESS THAT FOLKS HAVE TO
GO THROUGH TO DETERMINE WHO IS
ELIGIBLE, WHAT THEY'RE ENTITLED
TO EXACTLY.
WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?
>> Interview: THEY'RE FILLING
OUT A DETAILED CLAIM PROCESS AND
POTENTIALLY MEETING WITH THE
ASSESSOR TO DISCUSS THEIR CLAIMS
AND THOSE CLAIMS ARE GOING TO BE
-- THERE WILL BE A BROAD REPORT
AT THE END THAT WILL SHOW THE
TRENDS WE HAVE SEEN, A VEHICLE
FOR THE CHANGE INITIATIVES, ONE
OF THE OVERARCHING GOALS OF THE
SETTLEMENT, TO CHANGE THE
R.C.M.P. GOING FORWARD AND MAKE
IT A SAFER PLACE FOR WOMEN TO
WORK.
>> Andrew: THANK YOU FOR JOINING
US.
IT'S NOT JUST THE R.C.M.P.
TONIGHT.
THE #METOO MOVEMENT IS HITTING
OTTAWA.
>> Ian: DEALING WITH HARASSMENT
IS A PITFALL FOR MANY PARTIES
AND AS EVAN DYER TELLS US, AN
APPOINTED SENATOR WHO HAS BEEN
PART OF INVESTIGATIONS IN THE
PAST IS RETIRING EARLY.
>> Reporter: A FIXTURE OF
CANADIAN POLITICS FOR DECADES,
SENATOR KENNY WAS SUPPOSED TO
RETIRE BUT IN LEAVING EARLY, HE
MADE NO REFERENCE TO THE SEXUAL
HARASSMENT IN THE POLITICS BUT
HAS FACED A NUMBER OF
COMPLAINTS.
ONE IS A FORMER STAFFER.
>> Interview: HE REQUESTED THAT
I WEAR HIGH HEELS AT WORK.
HE CALLED ME ON A BUSINESS TRIP
ONCE TO TELL ME HE WAS THINKING
BEFORE ME IN MY BATHING SUIT BY
A POOL.
AND HE ASKED ME WHICH ALCOHOLIC
DRINK I LIKE TO HAVE AND IF I
WOULD COME BACK TO HIS PLACE
MONDAY TO HAVE A DRINK.
>> Reporter: KENNY QUIT THE
CAUCUS WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS
FILED BUT HE WAS CLEARED OF
WRONG DOING.
>> Interview: I THOUGHT IT WOULD
BE A GREAT TIME TO WRITE TO THE
PRIME MINISTER AND REQUEST HIM
TO REOPEN THE INVESTIGATION OR
START A NEW ONE.
>> Reporter: WHAT KIND OF
RESPONSE DID YOU RECEIVE?
>> Interview: I DIDN'T RECEIVE A
RESPONSE YET.
>> Reporter: SHE WASN'T HAPPY
WITH HOW HER COMPLAINT WAS
HANDLED THE FIRST TIME AND
WANTED TO BRING OTHER WOMEN AS
WITNESSES TO TESTIFY TO A
PATTERN OF BEHAVIOUR BUT WASN'T
ALLOWED.
>> Interview: I THOUGHT THE
TIMING WAS APPROPRIATE WITH THE
#METOO MOVEMENT COMING TO THE
HILL AND THE RESPONSE OF THE
LEADERSHIP.
THERE'S BEEN A FEW DIFFERENT
PEOPLE WHO GAVE THEIR
RESIGNATION FOLLOWING SEXUAL
HARASSMENT COMPLAINTS.
I THOUGHT THE TIMING WAS RIGHT
AND IT COULD HAVE A BIGGER
IMPACT TODAY FIVE YEARS LATER.
>> Reporter: SHE BELIEVES HER
LETTER TO TRUDEAU MAY HAVE HAD A
ROLE IN KENNY'S DECISION TO QUIT
10 MONTHS EARLY.
>> Ian: WHAT IS THE PRIME
MINISTER'S OFFICE SAYING ABOUT
THE CASE?
>> Reporter: WE RECENTLY HEARD
CONFIRMATION THAT THEY DID
RECEIVE THE LETTER BUT ARE
SAYING THEY HAD NOT CONTACTED
SENATOR KENNY'S OFFICE, THE
TIMING LOOKS SUGGESTIVE BUT
COULD BE A CONSEQUENCE.
>> Ian: THIS IS NOT JUST AN
ISSUE FOR THE LIBERAL PARTY.
THE CONSERVATIVES ORDERING AN
INVESTIGATION OF HOW IT HANDLED
ALLEGATIONS AGAINST A FORMER
M.P.
>> THAT'S RIGHT ANDREW SCHEER
ANNOUNCED THEY WILL BRING IN AN
OUTSIDE INVESTIGATOR TO LOOK
INTO WHY RICK DIKESTER WAS
ALLOWED TO RUN FOR THE PARTY
WHEN PEOPLE IN THE PARTY
ALLEGEDLY KNEW ABOUT HIM
SEXUALLY ASSAULTING A STAFFER.
HE WENT ON TO BECOME THE
PRESIDENT OF THE ONTARIO PARTY
BUT RESIGNED SUNDAY TWO HOURS
AFTER "MCLEAN'S" CONTACTED HIM
TO SAY THEY WERE GOING PUBLIC
WITH THE ALLEGATIONS.
ANDREW SCHEER SAYS THEY WILL
MAKE PUBLIC THE FINDINGS OF THE
INVESTIGATION TO WHO KNEW WHAT
WHEN DURING THE ELECTION.
>> I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
WAIT FOR THE RESULTS TO
DETERMINE THE NATURE OF WHAT
HAPPENED IF WHAT IS ALLEGED TO
HAVE HAPPENED TOOK PLACE.
OBVIOUSLY THAT'S VERY SERIOUS
AND WOULD BE PROBLEMATIC.
BUT WE'LL WAIT TO SEE WHAT COMES
OUT AND WHAT DETAILS ARE
PROVIDED.
>> Reporter: SCHEER ADDED HE
HIMSELF WAS SPEAKER AT THE TIME
AND HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE
EVENTS IN 2015.
HE SPOKE TO THE CONSERVATIVE
CAUCUS TODAY AND WE'RE TOLD HE
LAID DOWN THE LAW WITH ZERO
TOLERANCE FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT
OF ANY KIND.
>> Ian: THANK YOU.
TO TORONTO NOW, THE
INVESTIGATION INTO THE ACTIONS
OF AN ACCUSED SERIAL KILLER HAVE
PUT MANY ACROSS THE CITY ON
EDGE.
>> I WAS AWARE THAT SEVERAL MEN
HAD GONE MISSING BUT I DIDN'T
THINK IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH
OUR STREET AT ALL.
FINDING OUT THAT HAPPENED WAS
LIKE A HUGE WAKE-UP CALL THAT
ANYWHERE AND ANYONE COULD DO
THAT.
SO IT WAS KIND OF SCARY.
>> Ian: BRUCE MACARTHUR USED A
PROPERTY ON HER STREET.
IT'S LOOKING LIKE THE FIVE
MURDERS HE'S ACCUSED OF ARE JUST
THE BEGINNING.
>> Reporter: THE UPDATE WAS
EXPECTEDLY GRIM.
AS INVESTIGATORS CONTINUE TO
SCOUR THE GROUNDS OF A TORONTO
HOME WHERE A SUSPECTED SERIAL
KILLER STORED HIS TOOLS.
THE EXHAUSTED DETECTIVE IN
CHARGE STOPPED BY.
THIS IS A 24-HOUR OPERATION AND
A HORRIFIC ONE.
>> Interview: WE BELIEVE THERE
ARE MORE VICTIMS ON TOP OF THE
FIVE AND AS WE IDENTIFY THE
VICTIMS, I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANY
IDEA ABOUT A NUMBER BUT I DO
EXPECT MORE CHARGES TO BE LAID.
>> Reporter: THE OMINOUS
PREDICTION COMES AFTER POLICE
SEIZED MORE THAN A DOZEN
PLANTERS FROM HOMES THAT HIRED
HIM AS A LANDSCAPER.
>> Interview: WE'RE NOT JUST
GRABBING EVERY PLANTER WE SEE,
IF THERE'S INDICATION FROM THE
K-9 OF DECOMPOSITION, WE'LL GRAB
IT.
>> Reporter: POLICE HAVE FOUND
THE REMAINS OF AT LEAST THREE
PEOPLE IN TWO PLANTERS EXAMINED
AT THE SAME HOME THEY WERE TAKEN
FROM, THE PLAN NOW TO WARM UP
THE FROZEN GROUND WITH HEATERS
AND START DIGGING.
HE'S RETIRED NOW BUT FOR 14
YEARS KEVIN BRIAN WAS A FORENSIC
INVESTIGATOR AND SAYS THE SCOPE
OF THE MACARTHUR INVESTIGATION
IS STAGGERING AND WILL BE
TEDIOUS.
ONLY CERTAIN PARTS OF THE
REMAINS WILL REVEAL KEY
INFORMATION.
>> TYPICALLY THE SKULL, BROKEN
RIBS OR RIBS WITH CUT MARKS IN
THEM.
THAT CAN INDICATE A CAUSE OF
DEATH.
>> Reporter: GRISLY DETAILS,
FOLLOWING THEM WITH THE HORROR
OF SOMEONE WHO MIGHT HAVE ENDED
UP A VICTIM, TOO.
HE KNEW MacARTHUR FOR YEARS WHEN
THEY MET UP IN TORONTO LAST
SPRING AND HAD DRINKS A THE THE
BAR AND HE WAS OFFERED A LIFT TO
THE HOTEL.
A FRIENDLY ENCOUNTER TURNED
INTIMATE AND THEN SUDDENLY
VIOLENT.
>> Interview: HE REALLY GRABBED
MY NECK VIOLENTLY TWISTED IT,
RIGHT TO HIS CROTCH AND HIS
PANTS WERE UNDONE AND THAT'S
WHEN I WAS REALLY QUITE
DISTURBED.
>> Reporter: HE MANAGED TO GET
AWAY AND NEVER SAW MacARTHUR
AGAIN.
>> Interview: I HAVE AN 18.5
INCH NECK, IT IS BIG, FOR HIM TO
GRAB IT WITH ONE HAND AND TWIST
IT LIKE THAT, ONE MORE SECOND HE
WOULD HAVE SNAPPED MY NECK.
>> Reporter: HE HAD NO IDEA BUT
SOME OF HIS DATING PROFILE
SUGGESTED VIOLENT SEX.
TODAY A MAN POSTED HOW MacARTHUR
PURSUED HIM LAST FALL, ONLINE
MESSAGES HE SAYS WHEN MacARTHUR
TOLD HIM HE WAS INTO AFIXATION,
HE GOT SCARED AND BLOCKED HIM.
EXPERTS SAY VIOLENT SEXUAL
FANTASIES ARE COMMON AMONG
SERIAL KILLERS.
>> THEY REHEARSE IN THEIR HEAD
FOR MANY YEARS AND THEN START TO
EXPERIMENT AND FLIRT WITH THE
IDEA OF ACTING THEM OUT.
>> Reporter: IF THEY KNOW,
POLICE ARE NOT SAYING HOW THE
FIVE MEN DIED.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF WHEN, NOT
IF THEY'LL FIND MORE.
>> Ian: THERE ARE MORE THAN 30
PROPERTIES BEING SCRUTINIZED BY
POLICE.
THE INVESTIGATION IS BIG AND
GETTING BIGGER.
DOZENS OF TIPS CONTINUE TO COME
IN AND THE SEARCH FOR REMAINS
AND OTHER EVIDENCE HAS EXPANDED
WELL BEYOND TORONTO TO
PROPERTIES IN PEEL, YORK AND
DURHAM REGIONS.
>>> NEW DOCUMENTS SUGGEST THAT
THE BREAD PRICE FIXING SCHEME
COULD BE BIGGER THAN WE THOUGHT.
>> Andrew: THE PLACES WHERE SO
MANY DO THEIR SHOPPING, THEY
BROKE THE LAW AND THE COURT
DOCUMENTS TODAY REVEALED THE
LIST OF WHO KNEW WHAT ABOUT THE
SCHEME THAT DATES BACK MORE THAN
A DECADE.
THE COMPETITION BUREAU CALLS IT
AN ALLEGED CARTEL.
LOBLAWS, SOBEY'S, GIANT TIGER,
WALMART AND ALL THE BRANDS THEY
OWN, THAT CAPTURES JUST ABOUT
EVERY WHERE MOST CANADIANS DO
THEIR SHOPPING.
CANADA BREAD AND WESTON BAKERIES
WHO ALL "PARTICIPATED IN A
CONSPIRACY TO FIX THE PRICE OF
BREAD."
SO HERE'S WHAT THE BUREAU SAYS
IT HAS BEEN COSTING YOU.
SINCE 2001, THE COMPANIES
ALLEGEDLY AGREED TO RAISE PRICES
AT LEAST 15 TIMES AND EACH TIME
ABOUT $0.10 WAS ADDED TO EACH
LOAF.
AFTER 16 YEARS OF ARTIFICIAL
PRICE INCREASES, WE'RE ALL
PAYING AT LEAST AN EXTRA 1.50
FOR EACH LOAF OF BREAD.
FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO EAT ALL
THE BREAD, IT ADDS UP.
HERE'S JACQUELINE HANSEN ON HOW
THE ALLEGED PLOT TOOK SHAPE.
>> Reporter: THE COMPETITION
BUREAU ALLEGES THAT SENIOR
OFFICERS AT THE BREAD SUPPLIERS
WORKED TOGETHER TO RAISE
WHOLESALE PRICES AND THEN MET
WITH THE RETAILERS.
THE BUREAU BELIEVES EACH
RETAILER AGREED TO THE HIKES AS
LONG AS COMPETITORS WERE ON
BOARD.
THE COMPETITION BUREAU SUBMITTED
THE CLAIMS TO THE COURT IN THE
FALL TO OBTAIN SEARCH WARRANTS.
>> PROVING A CONSPIRACY OR
CARTEL RELIES ON WHAT WAS SAID
SECRETLY AMONG PEOPLE.
BUT WHEN ONE OF THE TWO OF THE
PARTIES SAY MATTERS WERE
DISCUSSED, THAT'S THE BEGINNING
OF EVIDENCE.
>> Reporter: LOBLAWS AND WESTON
ADMITTED THEY WERE INVOLVED BUT
THE OTHER COMPANIES DENY
VIOLATING THE ACT.
SOBEY'S ISSUED A PARTICULARLY
STRONG STATEMENT TODAY, CALLING
THE ALLEGATIONS IRRESPONSIBLE
AND RECKLESS VOWING TO FIGHT
FALSE ALLEGATIONS IN COURT.
CANADA BREAD CLAIMS THE
ACCUSATIONS DATE BACK TO A TIME
THE COMPANY WAS UNDER PREVIOUS
OWNERSHIP.
IF ANY OF THE COMPANIES ARE
CHARGED AND FOUND GUILTY, THEY
COULD FACE MAJOR FINES AND EVEN
JAIL TIME.
>> YOU HAVE TO MAKE THEM PAY I
THINK MONETARILY IF YOU CAN AND
IF YOU PUT PEOPLE BEHIND BARS
IT'S GOING TO MAKE PEOPLE SAY I
DON'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN THE
FUTURE.
>> Reporter: EVEN THOUGH NONE OF
THE ALLEGATIONS HAVE BEEN
PROVEN, IT'S ENOUGH FOR SOME
CONSUMERS AND INDUSTRY WATCHERS
TO QUESTION WHAT ELSE MIGHT BE
GOING ON.
>> NOW I'M ASKING MYSELF WHERE
ELSE IN THE GROCERY STORE IS
THERE COLLUSION OTHER THAN
BREAD.
>> Reporter: THE COMPETITION
BUREAU CONFIRMS THE
INVESTIGATION OF THE ALLEGED
BREAD PRICE FIXING IS ONGOING.
IN THE MEANTIME, FOR THE GROCERY
INDUSTRY IN CANADA, THAT
TYPICALLY PRIDES ITSELF ON
COMPETITIVE PRICING, CONSUMER'S
TRUST IN THAT COULD BE AT RISK.
>> Ian: OTHER STORIES WE'RE
WATCHING, THE TOTALS ARE
STAGGERING, WE LEARN HOW MANY
PEOPLE DIED FROM OPIOIDS IN B.C.
LAST YEAR.
ONE NUMBER MAY CONTAIN SOME
HOPE.
>> Andrew: WE HEARD THE STATE OF
THE UNION, TONIGHT THE STATE OF
THE DEMOCRATS.
PAUL HUNTER WILL TAKE US WHERE
YOU MIGHT NOT THINK TO MEET MANY
OF THEM, TEXAS.
>> Ian: AND DAVID COCHRANE
REVEALS AN UNLIKELY SOURCE OF
SECRETS ON PARLIAMENT HILL.
>> DOWN THIS HALLWAY AND THAT
HALLWAY ARE WASHROOMS.
WHEN THE CAUCUS MEETS ON
WEDNESDAY, THEY POST SEC
>> THE DEFENSE MINISTER NEEDS TO
IN SHORT ORDER GET A HANDLE ON
IT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NO OTHER
LEAKS.
>> THIS CULTURE OF LEAKING MUST
STOP.
>> Ian: PARTY POLITICS ARE FULL
OF SECRETS THAT GET LEAKED FOR A
SPECIFIC PURPOSE, TO GET
REACTION TO A NEW IDEA OR
EMBARRASS AN OPPONENT.
ON PARLIAMENT HILL SOME LEAKS
ARE ACCIDENTAL.
AS DAVID COCHRANE TELLS US, THEY
SEEP INTO A ROOM USUALLY KNOWN
FOR PRIVACY.
>> Reporter: WITH ALL OF THE
HISTORY HERE IT WOULD BE GREAT
IF THE WALLS COULD TALK.
IT TURNS OUT, THEY KIND OF CAN.
>> THE DOORS LEAK, THE SOUND
LEAKS THROUGH INTO THE HALLWAYS,
ALL OF THE OLD WALLS, ALL BUILT
WITH BRICK, SOME OF THEM THREE
FEET THICK, YOU WOULD THINK THEY
WOULD HAVE GREAT SOUND PROOF BUT
THEY DIDN'T.
>> Reporter: PARLIAMENT HILL IS
A COMPLEX OF HERITAGE BUILDINGS
FROM THE 19th CENTURY.
HOLES HAVE BEEN PUNCHED THROUGH
THE STONE WALLS TO HANDLE
VENTILATION AND WIRING, IT'S
TURNED THE PLACE INTO AN SIV.
>> YOU COULDN'T HAVE
CONFIDENTIAL CONVERSATIONS INTO
THE HALLWAYS OR MEETING ROOMS.
>> THE RENOVATIONS WILL SOLVE A
LOT OF THE PROBLEMS BUT IN THE
MEANTIME, M.P.s HAVE TO FIND
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS TO KEEP
CONVERSATIONS SECRET.
YOU WOULD EXPECT TO SEE SECURITY
OUTSIDE OF CAUCUS ROWS BUT
THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON DOWN
HERE.
WE CAN'T TAKE OUR CAMERAS TO
SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHAT'S
HAPPENING BUT DOWN THIS HALLWAY
AND THAT HALLWAY ARE WASHROOMS
AND WHEN THE CAUCUS MEETS ON
WEDNESDAYS, THEY POST SECURITY
GUARDS OUTSIDE THE WASHROOMS.
THE SECRET CONVERSATIONS SEEP
THROUGH THE WALLS INTO THE
TOILET STALLS TO GET A LEAK
WHILE TAKING ONE.
>> THERE'S NO EXPECTATION OF
PRIVACY BUT IN MANY CASES PEOPLE
DON'T KNOW.
THEY GO INTO THE OFFICE, M.P.,
THEY CLOSE THE DOOR, THEY'RE IN
THE MEETING ROOM AND ASSUME NO
ONE CAN HEAR THEM, BUT YOU CAN
HEAR THEM IN THE JANITOR'S
CLOSET, THE NEXT HALLWAY.
>> Reporter: HE HAS DONE A LOT
OF WORK FOR THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT OVER THE YEARS, HIS
OTHER BIG CLIENT IS MORE FAMOUS
THAN THE PRIME MINISTER,
BUILDING A STATE OF THE ART
STO
STUDIO FOR DRAKE.
WHICH IS MORE FUN?
>> Interview: ABSOLUTELY
BUILDING A NEW STUDIO.
IT'S TOTALLY FREE-FORMED.
>> Reporter: A PLACE FAMOUS FOR
POLITICAL LAKES, TRYING TO PLUG
SOME UNINTENDED ONES.
DAVID COCHRANE, CBC NEWS OTTAWA.
>> Andrew: AND NOW YOU KNOW.
AFTER DONALD TRUMP'S STATE OF
THE UNION ADDRESS, DEMOCRATS ARE
AS DETERMINED AS EVER TO FIGHT
HIS AGENDA.
DO THEY HAVE A CHANCE IN THE
REPUBLICAN FORTRESS OF TEXAS.
>> WE HAVE TO GET OFF OUR ASSES,
IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ON ITS
OWN.
THAT'S WHAT WE SAW WITH HILLARY.
THINGS ARE CHANGING HERE.
IT'S LIKE A BIG SLEEPING GIANT
>> IT WAS A TRANSFORMATIVE
SPEECH FOR SOME OF US LAST
NIGHT.
OUR EXPECTATIONS FOR GREATNESS
AND VISION WITH THE PRESIDENT
ARE NOT HIGH, HE STOOPED TO A
NEW LOW IN TERMS OF DEALING WITH
ISSUES.
>> Andrew: THAT'S THE RESPONSE
FROM TOP DEMOCRATS IN THE U.S.
TO DONALD TRUMP'S STATE OF THE
UNION ADDRESS LAST NIGHT.
DEMOCRATS ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES
WHO FOUND HIS WORDS AND ACTIONS
TRANSFORMATIVE.
>> HOW CAN WE HAVE A PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES THAT TELLS
THE WORLD THAT THERE'S GOOD
PEOPLE MARCHING WITH THE KU KLUX
KLAN, HOW CAN WE TELL PEOPLE
THAT GOOD PEOPLE ARE MARCHING
WITH PEOPLE WHO PREACH EVIL AND
BIGOTRY AND RACISM.
AND ME BEING JEWISH, IT WAS
BEYOND BELIEF.
>> Andrew: THAT SENTIMENT IS NOT
UNUSUAL IN THE UNITED STATES,
ESPECIALLY WITH THE MEMORIES OF
THE DEADLY VIOLENCE IN VIRGINIA
LAST SUMMER WERE FRESH.
BUT LARRY STRAUSS WHO YOU JUST
HEARD WAS A REPUBLICAN FROM
TEXAS.
HE'S NOT REPUBLICAN ANYMORE AND
NOT ALONE EITHER.
IN THE WAKE OF DONALD TRUMP'S
STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS AND
MIDTERM CAMPAIGNS GEAR UP, PAUL
HUNTER WENT TO RELIABLY RED
TEXAS TO CHECK OUT THE STATE OF
THE DEMOCRATS.
*
>> I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE ENOUGH
SPACE.
YEAH.
>> Reporter: FOR LARRY STRAUSS
THIS IS A PRETTY BIG NIGHT.
>> THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE
COFFEE.
>> NO PROBLEM.
>> Reporter: FINDING HIS WAY AS
A POLITICAL VOLUNTEER,
ORGANIZING A CANDIDATE'S PANEL
FOR THE BIG MIDTERM ELECTION.
>> IF YOU CAN HELP ME WITH
REGISTRATION.
>> Reporter: LARRY'S NO EXPERT
AT THIS BUT GIVING IT A GO AND
ALL OF IT AS A BRAND NEW
DEMOCRAT IN TEXAS.
>> WE'RE HAVING A FORUM TONIGHT.
>> Reporter: ALL HIS LIFE LARRY
WAS A REPUBLICAN BUT LAST YEAR
HE QUIT THE PARTY AND JOINED THE
OTHER SIDE.
WHY?
DONALD TRUMP.
REMEMBER THAT MARCH BY WHITE
SUPREMACISTS ENDING WITH
VIOLENCE AND DEATH?
AND REMEMBER TRUMP'S COMMENTS
AFTERWARD.
>> President Donald Trump: VERY
FINE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES.
>> I WAS NOT ONLY DISGUSTED WITH
PRESIDENT TRUMP BUT THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
>> FOR LARRY DEFENDING
INTOLERANCE WAS BEYOND THE PAIL.
>> Interview: NONE OF THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY STOOD UP AND
SAID THAT'S NOT RIGHT.
WE DISAGREE WITH THAT COMMENT.
WE DISAVOW THE COMMENT.
WHAT THAT DID FOR THE RACISTS
AND WHITE SUPREMACISTS AND KU
KLUX KLAN, IT GAVE THEM CREDIT.
AND I WAS DISGUSTED.
AND THAT'S WHEN I STARTED MY
TRANSFORMATION.
>> THE PROBLEM IS WE'RE GIVING
ALL THE BENEFIT TO TOP ONE
PERCENT.
>> Reporter: SWITCHING PARTIES
AND COMING OUT AS A DEMOCRAT IN
TEXAS IS HUGE.
IT'S LONG BEEN ONE OF THE MOST
REPUBLICAN STATES IN THE COUNTRY
BUT TO LARRY'S HAPPY SURPRISE,
NOWADAYS HE'S NOT ALONE.
>> I FEEL MORE ACCEPTED.
I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MANY
DEMOCRATS THERE WERE THAT WERE
MY FRIENDS UNTIL I SWITCHED.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DIDN'T
STAND UP BUT LARRY STRAUSS STOOD
UP.
*
>> Reporter: TURNS OUT TEXAS IS
CHANGING, INCREASINGLY THERE'S A
FRESH FACE IN THIS STATE,
YOUNGER THAN YOU MIGHT EXPECT
AND NOT SO COWBOY.
THE SUBURBS OF DALLAS ARE
GROWING AT LIGHT SPEED WITH ALL
KINDS OF PEOPLE MOVING HERE FROM
OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY AND
AROUND THE WORLD, SEEKING GOOD
JOBS AND BRINGING WITH THEM A
NEW OUTLOOK ON TEXAS POLITICS.
WANT A LOOK?
CHECK THIS SOUTH ASIAN GROCERY
STORE.
>> Reporter: IS IT FAIR TO SAY
IN A SENSE THE FUTURE OF TEXAS
POLITICS ARE IN PLACES LIKE
THIS, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
>> Interview: OF COURSE, I THINK
WE'VE HAD A TREMENDOUS GROWTH IN
THE SOUTH ASIAN COMMUNITY HERE.
>> Reporter: HER SOUTH ASIAN
BACKGROUND IS NO LONGER AN
ANOMALY IN THE STATE AND AS A
NUMBER OF SOUTH ASIANS IN TEXAS
GROWS, SO TOO DOES THEIR
POLITICAL CLOUT.
THE MESSAGE HERE...
>> YOUR VOTE COUNTS AND YOU NEED
TO COME TO THE POLLS AND WE CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
EVERY TIME WE DO ONE OF THESE
EVENTS, THE REACTION IS WE
DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE DEMOCRATS
IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD.
>> Reporter: LIKE WITH LARRY,
SHANDA FOUND THE TRUMP
PRESIDENCY OFFENCIVE AND IT
CHANGED HER WORLD AND NOW SHE
TOO IS A POLITICAL ORGANIZER,
AIMING TO FIRE UP FELLOW
DEMOCRATS AND FELLOW SOUTH
ASIANS TO GET THE VOTE OUT TO
AFFECT CHANGE NEXT TIME EVEN
HERE.
>> I THINK WE LIVED AS CLOSET
DEMOCRATS FOR SO LONG.
WE DIDN'T GET INVOLVED IN
CONVERSATIONS, THE NEIGHBOURS
ARE ALWAYS PUTTING ON THEIR
WHATEVER SIGNS, BUSH, WHATEVER
AND KIND OF YOU DON'T PUT UP
YOUR SIGN BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT
TO CAUSE ANY TROUBLE.
>> Reporter: AND THE STATE'S
LONG FORGOTTEN DEMOCRATS BECAUSE
OF TRUMP.
>> Interview: THEY'RE FRUSTRATED
AND KNOW THEY HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING, WOMEN ARE MAD AND A
LOT OF MINORITIES ARE STARTING
TO UNDERSTAND THIS CANNOT
MAINTAIN ITSELF.
>> Reporter: AND SO IT IS THAT
SMACK BETWEEN A BEAUTY SALON AND
MARSHAL ARTS STUDIO AT THE LOCAL
DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS AMID THE
ANTI TRUMP STICKERS INSIDE,
THERE'S DEMOCRATIC HOPE IN THE
HEADLINES.
BUT CAN THEY BUILD ON THAT?
>> Interview: I PULLED THE
LANGUAGE ABOUT --
>> Reporter: THE DAY AFTER
TRUMP'S ELECTION STACY DONALD
SHOW UP HERE IN TEARS.
>> Interview: I VOTED FOR
HILLARY BUT I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING
ELSE.
>> Reporter: IT WAS THE DAY SHE
TOO TURNED POLITICAL.
LAST YEAR SHE RAN FOR COLLEGE
BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND WON.
THE LESSON, SHE SAYS FOR ALL
TEXAS DEMOCRATS --
>> Interview: WE HAVE TO GET OFF
OUR ASSES.
IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ON ITS
OWN.
THAT'S WHAT WE SAW WITH HILLARY.
IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON ITS OWN.
WE ALL THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO.
BUT THINGS ARE CHANGING HERE,
IT'S LIKE A BIG SLEEPING GIANT
WAKING UP.
>> CHECK.
>> CHECK.
>> Reporter: OR IS IT ALL JUST A
DEMOCRATIC DREAM.
AMONG THE MANY FRIENDS OF
FRESHLY MINTED DEMOCRAT LARRY
STRAUSS ARE THOSE WHO REMIND
HIM, REPUBLICANS ARE STILL THE
MAJORITY IN TEXAS.
AND YES, SOME BRING GUNS TO A
POKER GAME, BETWEEN HANDS
TALKING TRUMP, TAXES,
IMMIGRATION, RACE, YOU NAME IT.
>> I'M TALKING ABOUT HIS LATEST
REMARK WITH SHITHOLE.
>> HOW DO YOU KNOW HE SAID THAT.
WERE YOU IN THE ROOM.
>> I WAS NOT IN THE ROOM BUT
FEEL CONFIDENT HE SAID THAT.
>> NONE OF US KNOW FOR SURE.
EVERYBODY IS JUMPING ON THIS --
WOULD YOU ASSUME THAT IN COURT?
>> Reporter: IT'S CLEAR, TRUMP
BACKERS HERE 100% STILL BACK
TRUMP.
>> I THINK THE ECONOMY IS DOING
WELL, THE STOCK MARKET IS DOING
WELL.
TAXES ARE REDUCED.
FOR THE MOST PART WHY THERE
SHOULDN'T BE A POSITIVE GLOW ON
THE FIRST YEAR.
>> Reporter: BUT DEMOCRATIC
HOPEFULS ARE IN THIS TO ONE.
AMONG THE CANDIDATES, AN OPENLY
GAY HISPANIC WOMAN AND FORMER
SHERIFF.
WHAT DOES SHE THINK OF THE TRUMP
AFFECT IN TEXAS?
>> Interview: I'M NOT SURE BUT I
HOPE HE'S THE BEST THING THAT
EVER HAPPENED TO DEMOCRATS.
*
(applause)
>> WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THE
GRASS ROOT --
>> Reporter: ACROSS TOWN SHANDA
IS STILL AT IT, WITH A
FUND-RAISER FOR ONE OF THE
DEMOCRATS GREAT HOPES IN THE
STATE, TAKING ON TED CRUZ NO
LESS AND KEEN TO WIN THE HEARTS
OF PEOPLE EVERY WHERE, BETO
O'ROURKE.
EMBRACING LIBERAL SENSEABILITIES
IN CONSERVATIVE TEXAS AND BEING
EMBRACED FOR DOING SO.
IN A STATE PERHAPS AT A TURNING
POINT.
WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE?
>> THERE'S SOMETHING AMAZING AND
UNPRECEDENTED AT LEAST IN MY 45
YEARS.
YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO I THINK
RECOGNIZE BECAUSE EVERYTHING
THEY CARE ABOUT IN THEIR LIVES
AND COMMUNITIES FOR THIS STATE,
FOR THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY IS
ON THE LINE AND THEY'RE GETTING
OFF THE SIDE LINES.
>> Reporter: BUT ARE THERE
ENOUGH?
WILL IT WORK.
CAN BETO AND THE REST OF THEM
REINVENT THE STATE?
WITH MIDTERMS COMING UP FAST,
DEMOCRATS IN TEXAS ENERGIZED BY
DONALD TRUMP ARE SET TO FIND
OUT.
PAUL HUNTER, CBC NEWS DALLAS.
>> Andrew: TALK ABOUT DEMOCRATIC
COME BACK, FOR STATE WIDE
OFFICES IT HAS BEEN A 25 YEAR
DROUGHT IN TEXAS.
IT HASN'T HAD A DEMOCRATIC
GOVERNOR SINCE 1995.
THE LAST DEMOCRATIC SENATOR LEFT
OFFICE IN 1993 AND THE LAST TIME
THEY VOTED IN A DEMOCRAT FOR
PRESIDENT WAS JIMMY CARTER IN
1976.
>> Ian: NEXT, TREATING THE
PERSON AND NOT JUST THE DISEASE.
BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS GIVE
DOCTORS A LESSON IN EMPATHY.
>> I HOPE THEY REALIZE THEY'RE
DEALING WITH REAL PEOPLE.
>> I HOPE THEY REALIZE HOW THEY
SPEAK TO A PATIENT MAKES THE
WORLD OF DIFFERENCE.
YOU CAN MAKE OR BREAK A
PATIENT'S IDEA ABOUT WHAT'S
GOING ON WITH THEIR
*
>> THE 2017 DATA REFLECTS THE
MOST TRAGIC YEAR EVER WITH
RESPECT TO ELICIT DRUG DEATHS IN
BRITISH COLUMBIA.
>> Ian: THE NUMBERS ARE IN AND
GRIM, IT SAYS MORE THAN 1400
PEOPLE DIED AFTER TAKING ELICIT
DRUGS LAST YEAR AND THE FENTANYL
WAS DETECTED IN 81% OF THE
CASES, OFTEN MIXED WITH OTHER
DRUGS.
THE NUMBER OF DEATHS FOR
NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER WERE DOWN
SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE LAST TWO
MONTHS OF 2016, THOUGH HEALTH
OFFICIALS WON'T CALL IT A TREND
YET.
>> LAST YEAR IN VANCOUVER, WE
HAD NOT SEEN THE SAME RISE IN
OVERDOSE DEATHS AS IN OTHER PART
OFFICE PROVINCE, WE ASSUMED
BECAUSE OF THE SERVICES IN PLACE
AND THEN WE HAD A DRAMATIC
INCREASE BECAUSE OF THE ARRIVAL
OF CARFENTANIL, THERE ARE MORE
TOXIC SUBSTANCES THAT CAN ENTER
THE DRUG SUPPLY AND CHANGE WHAT
WE SEE.
>> Ian: THE LAST YEAR SHE IS
REFERRING TO THERE IS 2016.
HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY THEY HOPE
EFFORTS ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE,
EXPANDING THE NALOXONE
PROGRAMME, THEY HAVE INCREASED
OD PREVENTION SERVICES AND
IMPROVED ACCESS TO OPIOID
REPLACEMENT THERAPY.
WHEN ASKED IF LEGALIZATION
SHOULD BE NEXT, THEY SAID THEY
SUPPORT IT BUT WON'T BE ANY TIME
SOON.
>> WE CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT.
LOOK HOW LONG IT'S TAKING FOR
CANNIBIS.
IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL YEARS TO
GET A FRAMEWORK IN FOR ALL OTHER
SUBSTANCES.
YES, WE NEED TO ADVOCATE FOR
THAT.
THAT'S NOT GOING TO HELP IN THE
SHORT-TERM.
>> Ian: THEY SAY THEY'LL
CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR POLICY
CHANGES BUT THE FOCUS HAS TO BE
ON IMMEDIATE SOLUTIONS LIKE RISK
FACTORS AND EARLY INTERVENTION.
>>> IT WAS A DISTURBING SCENE IN
A QUÉBEC COURTHOUSE AND
QUESTIONS WHY AN 18-YEAR-OLD WAS
SHOT IN THE HEAD BY A SECURITY
OFFICER IN MANIWAKI, TWO HOURS
NORTH OF OTTAWA.
THE SCUFFLE WAS CAUGHT ON VIDEO
AND A WARNING, THERE IS STRONG
LANGUAGE AND DISTURBING CONTENT.
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> Ian: A WITNESS WHO SPOKE TO
CBC SAID THE 18-YEAR-OLD WANTED
TO SMOKE AND WHEN GUARDS REFUSED
HE BECAME VIOLENT.
YOU CAN SEE THE SECURITY
OFFICERS COMING IN TO HELP AND
MOVED INTO ANOTHER ROOM.
A WOMAN SHOUTS DON'T HURT MY
SON.
YOU DON'T SEE HIM, BUT YOU CAN
HEAR THE GUN BEING FIRED AND THE
REACTION.
(GUNSHOT)
(SCREAMING)
>> Ian: THE AGENCY INVESTIGATING
SAID THE 18-YEAR-OLD TRIED TO
GRAB THE SECURITY OFFICER'S
BATON AND HIT HIM.
ACCORDING TO INVESTIGATORS,
THAT'S WHEN OFFICERS SHOT THE
YOUNG MAN AT CLOSE RANGE.
>>> A PROVENCAL POLICE OFFICER
SAID BOTH WERE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
WITH SERIOUS INJURIES AND WE'RE
CONTINUING TO FOLLOW THE
DEVELOPMENTS ON THIS STORY.
>> MEDICINE IS CHANGING AND IT'S
NO LONGER JUST YOU OPEN SOMEBODY
UP AND IT'S SURGERY.
IT'S CHANGING AND UNDERSTANDING
OF THE PATIENT.
I WANT NEW DOCTORS TO UNDERSTAND
THAT I AM A PATIENT WHO MIGHT
HAVE A DISEASE BUT I'M A PERSON.
>> Andrew: JENNIFER SCHULTZ IS A
MOTHER, CANCER SURVIVOR AND NOW
A PATIENT TEACHER, ONE OF
SEVERAL WHO JOINED A UNIQUE
HOSPITAL PROGRAMME AIMED AT
TEACHING MEDICAL STUDENTS
VALUABLE LESSONS IN EMPATHY.
>> Reporter: JENNIFER SCHULTZ IS
A PINBALL JUNKY.
ESPECIALLY ON SUNDAY'S, THAT'S
WHEN SHE HAULS HER SIDEKICK,
12-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER JAMESON.
A VINTAGE PINBALL MACHINE CALLED
WHIRLWIND.
THE IRON WHY IS NOT LOST ON
SCHULTZ.
THREE YEARS AGO THE 45-YEAR-OLD
WAS CAUGHT UP IN HER OWN WHIRL
WIND, DIAGNOSED WITH STAGE THREE
BREAST CANCER.
>> Interview: I HAD NO IDEA.
IT NEVER CROSSED MY MIND, BREAST
CANCER.
>> Reporter: WHAT FOLLOWED WAS
EIGHT ROUNDS OF CHEMOTHERAPY, 25
CYCLES OF RADIATION AND SURGERY.
HER RIGHT BREAST WITH AN 8
CENTIMETRE LONG TUMOUR WAS
REMOVED.
IT'S AN EXPERIENCE THAT SCHULTZ
SHARES WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER
WOMEN, INCLUDING 48-YEAR-OLD WHO
IN 2015 LEARNED SHE HAD BREAST
CANCER.
>> Interview: I KNEW THERE WAS
SOMETHING WRONG AND I TOLD MY
HUSBAND TO BE PREPARED THAT I
DIDN'T THINK I WOULD LIVE UNTIL
I WAS 50.
>> YOUR JOB IS TO FIX PEOPLE.
>> Reporter: IT'S THE KIND OF
STORIES BOTH WOMEN ARE WILLING
TO SHARE WITH THESE MEDICAL
UNDERGRADS CURRENTLY ON A
SURGICAL ROTATION IN TORONTO.
>> YOU'RE GOING TO SAY YOU'RE
GOING TO CUT THEM OPEN AND TAKE
SOMETHING OUT AND FIX SOMETHING
IN THEM AND THAT'S A SCARY THING
FOR A PATIENT TO HEAR.
>> Reporter: THE MEDICAL
STUDENTS ARE PART OF A UNIQUE
PILOT PROJECT AT THE TORONTO
HOSPITAL.
>> BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THE
WORDS YOU CHOOSE AND EVEN IF
YOU'VE HAD A ROTTEN DAY OR MAYBE
THE BEST DAY, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT
IN WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO
PATIENTS.
>> DON'T BE TOO CLINICAL, TOO
COLD.
THAT DOESN'T HELP THE PATIENT
EITHER.
IT MAKES YOU THINK SOMETHING IS
WORSE OR YOU'RE JUST A NUMBER.
>> Reporter: THE SURGEON BEHIND
THE MASK DR. SIMPSON CREATED THE
PROGRAMME, A FIRST OF ITS KIND
IN CANADA.
>> Interview: WE SHOULD BE ABLE
TO GET BOTH THE TUMOUR AND THE
NODE.
>> Reporter: HE SAYS HE CAN
TEACH STUDENTS HOW TO BECOME
SKILLED STUDENTS BUT WANTS THEM
TO THINK BEYOND THE ROOM TO WHEN
THE PATIENT IS STITCHED UP AND
RECOVERING.
SIMPSON'S AIM, TO CHANGE SOME
LONG HELD MYTHS THAT HIS OWN
STUDENTS HAVE ABOUT SURGEONS.
>> Interview: THEY OFTEN VIEW
SURGEONS AS JUST BEING THE
TECHNICIAN IN THE PROCESS.
SOMEONE PRESENTS WITH BREAST
CANCER, THAT THE SURGEON JUST
REMOVE THE TUMOUR AND RIDS THEIR
HANDS OF THE PATIENT.
THAT COULDN'T BE FARTHER FROM
THE TRUTH.
>> Reporter: THAT'S WHERE
SCHULTZ AND TURNBULL TAKE OVER,
THEY'RE SIMPSON'S FORMER
PATIENTS AND NOW HIS RECRUITS.
>> ASK THE QUESTIONS WHEN YOU'RE
TALKING TO YOUR PATIENTS, DO YOU
HAVE SOMEBODY AT HOME WHO CAN
HELP YOU.
HOPEFULLY YOU CAN TAKE A LITTLE
WITH YOU AND GIVE YOU FOOD FOR
THOUGHT WHEN YOU ENGAGE WITH
FUTURE PATIENTS.
>> Reporter: SIMPSON HOPES TO
REPLICATE THE PROGRAMME TO
HOSPITALS ACROSS TORONTO AND
MAYBE BEYOND.
AS FOR TURNBULL AND SCHULTZ,
THEY WANT IT TO RESINATE WITH
THE FUTURE DOCTORS.
IT ALREADY HAS.
>> HEARING THE PATIENT'S STORIES
AND ASKING THEM QUESTIONS AND
GET THEM TO TEACH US WHY WE
DECIDED TO GO INTO THIS.
>> ANY CHANCE WHERE YOU HAVE AN
HOUR TO SIT DOWN WITH SOMEONE
WHO HAS GONE THROUGH AN
EXPERIENCE WITH THE DISEASE LIKE
CANCER IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE
BENEFICIAL AND YOU CAN'T GET
THAT SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE DOING
YOUR PLACEMENTS AND ROTATIONS.
>> Reporter: BUT YOU CAN GET IT
IN THE STORIES OF SURVIVORS.
>> Andrew: THE PARTNERSHIP
AGAINST CANCER JUST PUBLISHED A
LARGE STUDY LOOKING AT THE
EXPERIENCES OF CURRENT AND
FORMER CANCER PATIENTS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY.
AMONG THE FINDINGS, ONE IN FOUR
SAID THEY WEREN'T SATISFIED WITH
THE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT THEY
RECEIVE DURING OUTPATIENT CANCER
CARE AND BETWEEN 12-20% SAY NO
ONE DISCUSSED DIFFERENT
TREATMENT OPTIONS WITH THEM.
>>> STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL."
EVEN IF YOU DESPISE PEOPLE WHO
ARE LATE, YOU MIGHT FEEL BAD FOR
A BRITISH LORDE WHO DECIDED TO
PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE FOR HIS
TARDINESS.
THAT'S JUST AHEAD.
BUT FIRST...
>> I WAS QUITE SHOCKED TODAY TO
HEAR HOW QUICK EVERYTHING TURNED
AROUND AND DECIDED TO PUT A
COMPLETE STOP TO IT.
I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE
GETTING PETITIONS AND TRYING TO
GET THEM SIGNED.
>> Andrew: FORMULA ONE RACING IS
PUTTING AN END TO A DECADE OLD
TRADITION.
WHEN THE NEW SEASON OPENS IN
AUSTRALIA, YOU WILL NO LONGER
FIND THE SO-CALLED GRID GIRLS ON
DISPLAY.
TODAY A SPOKESMAN SAID WE FEEL
THE CUSTOM IS AT ODDS WITH
MODERN DAY SOCIETY NORMS.
IT SEEMS TO BE A SIGN OF THE
CHANGING TIMES.
RACING OF COURSE HAS BEEN THE
MAIN ATTRACTION BUT FOR YEARS,
FORMULA ONE HAS FEATURED
ATTRACTIVE YOUNG WOMEN,
SOMETIMES WITH VERY SPECIFIC
QUALIFICATIONS, BETWEEN 5 FOOT 8
AND 5 FOOT 11, SIZE FOUR, DARK
HAIR, NO TATTOOS, AND APPARENTLY
HELPS IF YOU LIKE CHAMPAGNE AND
NOT FOR DRINKING.
>> I THINK THAT NOW IS THE RIGHT
TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE.
I THINK OBJECTIFYING WOMEN IN A
ROLE WHERE IT IS SEEN THAT MEN
ARE THERE RISKING THEIR LIVES
DRIVING THE CARS BUT THE GIRLS
ONLY SEEN NEXT TO THE CAR,
THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK.
THEY'RE NOT SPOKESPEOPLE,
THEY'RE MUTE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS.
>> Andrew: LAST YEAR THE U.S.
GIANT LIBERTY MEDIA ACQUIRED
FORMULA ONE'S COMMERCIAL RIGHTS
AND AIMED TO MAKE IT MORE FAMILY
FRIENDLY AND THE DART
CORPORATION SCRAPPED ITS
TRADITION OF WALK ON GIRLS AT
TELEVISED TOURNAMENTS,
APPARENTLY UNDER PRESSURE FROM
BROADCASTERS.
THERE'S QUESTIONS AS TO WHETHER
THE MODELS THEMSELVES ARE THE
ONES LOSING OUT HERE, LOSING
THEIR JOBS AFTER ALL.
THIS IS A FORMER GRID GIRL IN
LONDON.
>> HAVING A GRID GIRL AT THE
FORMULA ONE CREATES A GREAT
ATMOSPHERE FOR CUSTOMERS, FANS
THAT ARE GOING, THAT PAY FOR
TICKETS, FAMILIES OR FATHERS
THAT TAKE THEIR SONS.
IT'S A REAL -- I THINK IT'S A
GREAT EGO BOOST FOR THE DRIVERS
AND CREATES TESTOSTERONE BEFORE
THE RACE.
>> Andrew: THERE'S A PETITION TO
BRING GRID GIRLS BACK
(*)
>> Ian: ON "THE NATIONAL"
TONIGHT, THE PROGRESSIVE
CONSERVATIVE PARTY SAYS THAT
THEY'LL ANNOUNCE A FLOOD LEADER
ON MARCH 10th.
THE PARTY'S FORMER LEADER
PATRICK BROWN RESIGNING A WEEK
AGO AFTER ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL
MISCONDUCT.
VOTING TO REPLACE BROWN WILL BE
HELD BETWEEN MARCH SECOND AND
8TH, JUST THREE MONTHS BEFORE
THE PROVINCIAL ELECTION.
>>> PARENTS OF THE MAN CHARGED
WITH KILLING SIX PEOPLE IN A
QUÉBEC CITY MOSQUE LAST YEAR ARE
SPEAKING PUBLICLY FOR FIRST
TIME.
IN A LETTER SENT TO RADIO-CANADA
AND TRANSLATED FROM FRENCH, THE
PARENTS OF ALEXANDRE BISSONNETTE
SAY THEY HAVE BEEN LIVING A
NIGHTMARE.
THE HEARTACHE AND THE PAIN
CAUSED TO THE INNOCENT VICTIMS
AND THEIR FAMILIES BY THIS
INEXCUSABLE ACT REMAINS TO THIS
DAY TO US COMPLETELY
UNEXPLAINABLE.
FOR US TOO, SORROW AND PAIN HAVE
SET IN.
ALEXANDRE IS STILL OUR SON, WHOM
WE LOVE AND WHO WILL ALWAYS BE
PART OF OUR FAMILY.
IN A WAY WE ALSO LOST A SON.
>>> AFTER MONTHS OF DEBATE THE
SENATE HAS PASSED A BILL TO MAKE
THE LYRICS OF THE NATIONAL
ANTHEM GENDER NEUTRAL.
>> THIS MAY BE SMALL IN A SERIES
OF THINGS BUT IT'S ABOUT TWO
WORDS BUT IT'S HUGE IN TERMS OF
ONE OF OUR MAJOR NATIONAL
SYMBOLS, THE ANTHEM THAT WE SING
WITH PRIDE ABOUT OUR COUNTRY AND
WE CAN NOW SING IT WITH PRIDE
KNOWING THAT THE RULES SUPPORT
US.
>> IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW
FREE DEBATE IN THIS CHAMBER,
THEN DEMOCRACY DIES AND IT'S AN
UNSAVORY DEATH, UNFORTUNATELY.
>> Ian: CONSERVATIVE SENATORS
WERE OUTRAGED AND THEY BOYCOTTED
THE VOTE ACCUSING LIBERAL AND
INDEPENDENT SENATORS OF MUZZLING
DEBATE.
ONCE THE LAW RECEIVES ROYAL
ASCENT THE WORDS TO THE ANTHEM
WILL BE CHANGED FROM "IN ALL THY
SONS COMMAND" TO "IN ALL OF US
COMMAND."
>> Andrew: OKAY, WE HAVE ONE
MORE THING FOR YOU HERE.
IF YOU EVER ARRIVED LATE TO WORK
USUALLY A SIMPLE APOLOGY IS
ENOUGH, RIGHT?
BUT ONE BRITISH LORD DECIDED
THAT IT WAS TOO LATE JUST TO SAY
"SORRY" SO INSTEAD LORD BATES
CHOSE TO ANNOUNCE HIS
RESIGNATION AND HIS TARDINESS IS
OUR "MOMENT OF THE DAY."
>> MY LORD, TO TAKE LEAVE OF THE
HOUSE I WONDER IF YOU WOULD
PERMIT ME TO OFFER MY SINCERE
APOLOGIEAPOLOGIES FOR MY DISCOURTESY IN
NOT BEING IN MY PLACE.
DURING THE FIVE YEARS OF WHICH
IT'S BEEN MY PRIVILEGE TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS FROM MRS. THATCHER ON
BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT I'VE
ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT WE SHOULD
OFTEN RISE TO THE HIGHEST
POSSIBLE STANDARDS OF COURTESY
AND RESPECT IN RESPONDING ON
BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT TO THE
LEGITIMATE QUESTIONS OF THE
LEGISLATURE.
AND I'M THOROUGHLY ASHAMED AT
NOT BEING IN MY PLACE AND,
THEREFORE, I SHOULD BE OFFERING
MY RESIGNATION TO THE PRIME
MINISTER.
[Interjections]
>> Andrew: SO, IAN, I WILL
FULLY -- I REALLY DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHAT JUST HAPPENED
THERE.
WHY HE FELT THE NEED TO DO THAT
AND WHETHER HE HAD OTHER REASONS
FOR STEPPING DOWN OR WHETHER
HE'S JUST THAT KIND OF GUY.
IT'S ALL VERY CONFUSING.
>> Ian: HOW ABOUT OVERKILL?
I MEAN, IF THAT IS HIS RESPONSE
TO BEING A LITTLE BIT LATE, WHAT
IS HIS RESPONSE IF, YOU KNOW,
LET YOUR IMAGINATION GO, LIKE
SOMETHING THAT WAS MORE SERIOUS.
I AM TEMPTED THOUGH, ANDREW, TO
OUT SOME OF OUR COLLEAGUES WHO
ARE ALWAYS LATE FOR THE NOON
EDITORIAL MEETING BUT I WILL NOT
DO THAT RIGHT NOW.
>> Andrew: ASK FOR THEIR
RESIGNATIONS.
OKAY, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US
HERE ON "THE NATIONAL" FOR
JANUARY 31st.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
>> Ian: GOODNIGHT.
