>> Andrew: ON THIS TUESDAY
NIGHT WE LOOK AT THE WORLD'S
MASS MIGRATION OF PEOPLE AND THE
SOCIAL AND THE POLITICAL
CHALLENGES FOR COUNTRIES THEY
ARE SEEKING OUT.
>>> IN CANADA, A MAYOR PLEADS
FOR HELP AS A HOUSING CRUSH
OVERWHELMING THEM.
>>> AND A TRAVEL BAN GETS THE
JUDICIAL OKAY.
>>> AND IN EUROPE A CHAMPION OF
REGEES MAY BE ON THE EDGE OF
DEFEAT.
>>> ALSO TONIGHT AS CANADA GETS
SET TO STRIKE BACK AT U.S.
TARIFFS, M.P.s GET AN EARFUL
FROM BUSINESS OWNERS CALLING FOR
MORE ACTION RIGHT NOW.
PARLIAMENT ISN'T SITTING BUT THE
HEAT IS ON.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
(*)
(*)
>>> CANADA'S BIGGEST CITY SAYS
IT CAN NO LONGER
HANDLE THE ASYLUM SEEKERS ALONE.
A NEW REPORT DESCRIBES THE
SHELTER SYSTEM AS UNDER
UNPRECEDENTED PRESSURE.
AND AS CBC'S SALIMAH SHIVJI
TELLS US, MAYOR JOHN TORY HAS
PUT OUT AN URGENT CALL FOR
IMMEDIATE HELP.
>> Reporter: JIMMY HAS CALLED
THIS PLACE HOME FOR THE LAST
MONTH.
IT'S A COLLEGE DORM BUT HE'S NOT
A STUDENT, HE'S A REFUGEE
CLAIMANT FROM NIGERIA LIVING IN
UNCERTAINTY.
>> IT'S A DIFFICULT LIFE TO
LIVE.
I'D PREFER TO HAVE A HOUSE.
>> Reporter: ACROSS THE
TOWN A SIMILAR COLLEGE DORM WITH
THE SAME
UNCERTAINTY, COUPLED WITH
GRATITUDE.
>> I HAD TO RUN FOR MY LIFE.
AND I'M MORE COMFORTABLE.
>> Reporter: THAT COMFORT WILL
BE SHORT LIVED.
BY AUGUST THE STUDENTS WILL MOVE
BACK IN AND THE REFUGEE
CLAIMANTS WILL HAVE TO LEAVE.
>> HOW DO WE GO, WHERE DO WE GO?
NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT THAT SO WE'LL
TAKE IT A DAY AS IT COMES.
WHATEVER HAPPENS I KNOW THAT THE
GOVERNMENT IS NOT GOING TO LEAVE
US ON THE STREETS.
>> Reporter: BUT WITH ASYLUM
SEEKERS LANDING IN TORONTO, IT
SAYS THAT ITS SHELTER SYSTEM IS
OVERWHELMED AND STRUGGLING TO
HOUSE MORE THAN 3,000 REFUGEE
AND ASYLUM CLAIMANTS IN ADDITION
TO THE CITY'S HOMELESS.
AND TORONTO'S MAYOR TODAY HAD A
PLEA...
>> WE NEED HELP.
WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO DO THIS
ALONE.
WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES
TO DO IT ALONE AND WE JUST DON'T
HAVE THE PERSONNEL.
>> Reporter: A MESSAGE AIMED
AT BOTH THE PROVINCIAL AND THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS.
THERE IS A PLAN FOR A TRIAGE
SYSTEM THAT WOULD SEND REFUGEE
AND ASYLUM CLAIMANTS OUTSIDE OF
MAJOR CITIES.
IT'S WORKING IN QUÉBEC BUT IN
ONTARIO THERE'S A HICCUP.
>> THE CHALLENGE IS THAT WE'VE
HAD AN ELECTION AND AS A RESULT
OF THAT THE MONEY IS IN OTTAWA
WAITING TO BE SPENT BUT ONTARIO
NEEDS TO ASK FOR IT.
AND TO SHARE WITH US THE PLAN
THEY HAVE TO SPEND IT.
>> Reporter: A WAITING GAME AS
TORONTO OFFICIALS WORRY ABOUT A
TEMPORARY HOUSING SYSTEM THAT IS
NEARLY AT ITS BREAKING POINT.
>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
BYE.
>> Reporter: SALIMAH SHIVJI,
CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Andrew: NOW THE SITUATION
IN TORONTO ISN'T ABOUT JUST
ABOUT THE SHEER NUMBER OF ASYLUM
SEEKERS COMING INTO THE COUNTRY,
BUT ALSO HOW THEIR CLAIMS ARE
STUCK IN THE SYSTEM.
YOU SEE, WHILE THE FLOW OF
REFUGEE CLAIMS HAS GROWN
DRAMATICALLY, FUNDING FOR THE
BOARD THAT REVIEWS THOSE CLAIMS
HAS NOT.
>> EVEN BEFORE THESE WAVES WERE
COMING IN, YOU KNOW, WE AS AN
ASSOCIATION AND PRIVATE
PRACTITIONERS WERE SAYING THAT
THE IMMIGRATION REFUGEE BOARD
NEEDED TO STEP UP.
WE NEEDED TO GET MORE BOARD
MEMBERS.
>> Andrew: THE RESULT IS A
BACKLOG THAT GROWS BY THE MONTH.
IT'S GONE FROM ABOUT 43,000
CASES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
YEAR TO MORE THAN 57,000 AS OF
THE END OF MAY.
FOR CLAIMANTS THAT MEANS LONGER
AND LONGER WAIT TIMES.
IT USED TO BE AROUND 60 DAYS.
AND NOW 20 MONTHS.
THAT IN ITSELF INCENTIVIZES MORE
BORDER JUMPING.
>> THIS HAS BEEN SNOWBALLING
INTO A PROBLEM WHERE THERE'S
MORE DELAYS WHICH DUE TO THE
DELAYS PEOPLE ARE GETTING WORK
PERMITS AND THEY'RE HANGING
AROUND THE COUNTRY LONGER AND
THAT'S ENCOURAGING PEOPLE THAT
THEN COME ACROSS.
>> Andrew: SO MORE ARE STUCK
IN THE HOLDING PATTERN UNTIL
CLAIMANTS ARE EITHER ACCEPTED OR
TURNED AWAY.
IN THE MEANTIME THEY NEED TO
LIVE SOMEWHERE AND UNTIL THAT
BACKLOG GETS CUT DOWN THE
PRESSURE ON HOUSING IS LIKELY TO
GET WORSE.
IN EUROPE TOO THE WAVE OF NEW
ARRIVALS DAY AFTER DAY HAS
BROUGHT THE CONTINENT TO GET TO
ANOTHER POINT OF CRISIS.
SOME OF TODAY'S DEVELOPMENTS...
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Andrew: GERMAN CHANCELLOR
ANGELA MERKEL IS MEETING WITH
SPAIN'S PRIME MINISTER AND
NOW SAYING THAT A CONTINENTAL
SOLUTION WILL NOT BEING REACHED
BY THIS WEEKEND'S SUMMIT OF E.U.
LEADERS.
AND THE LIFELINE, A SHIP FULL OF
RESCUED MIGRANTS, IS ALLOWED TO
DOCK IN MALTA AFTER BEING
REFUSED PORT IN ITALY AND
FLOATING IN LIMBO IN THE
MEDITERRANEAN SEA FOR FIVE DAYS.
>>> AND THIS WAS THE SHOW OF
FORCE
AT THE AUSTRIAN BORDER WITH
SLOVENIA.
POLICE CADETS ACTING AS MIGRANTS
WITH HUNDREDS OF POLICE AND
MILITARY CARRYING OUT SO-CALLED
MIGRANT CONTROL EXERCISES.
>>> AND WORTH MENTIONING,
AUSTRIA, WITH ITS HARDLINE
POSITION AGAINST MIGRANTS, WILL
SOON TAKE ON THE ROLE OF THE
EMPLET R E.U. PRESIDENCY.
>>> NOW TO ANOTHER BORDER WHERE
THE GOVERNMENT FORCE HAS BEEN ON
DISPLAY.
TODAY THE U.S. SENT CLEAR
MESSAGES TO WARD OFF ASYLUM
SEEKERS FROM ITS SOUTHERN
FRONTIER.
VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE TOLD
AN AUDIENCE IN BRAZIL THAT
MIGRANTS FROM CENTRAL AMERICA
NEED TO BUILD THEIR LIVES THERE,
NOT IN THE UNITED STATES.
AND ON THURSDAY PENCE TAKES THAT
MESSAGE TO GUATEMALA WHERE HE'LL
MEET LEADERS FROM THERE,
HONDURAS AND EL SALVADOR.
TOGETHER THEY ARE THE LARGEST
SOURCE OF MIGRANT FAMILIES
RECENTLY SEPARATED BY U.S.
BORDER AGENTS AND A MAJOR SOURCE
OF ASYLUM SEEKERS IN GENERAL.
IN JUST ONE YEAR THE BORDER
PATROL DETAINED 70,000 FAMILIES
FROM THESE COUNTRIES AND NEARLY
48,000 UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN.
NOW THE CBC'S KIM BRUNHUBER MET
ONE YOUNG MIGRANT FLEEING DEATH
THREATS IN EL SALVADOR.
A LUCKY BREAK HELPED HIM TO FIND
FRIENDS IN THE U.S. BUT HIS LUCK
MAY BE RUNNING OUT.
>> CARL.
>> YEAH, DO YOU LIKE?
>> YEAH, I LIKE.
>> Reporter: HIS NAME IS
KEVIN.
I HAVE BEEN ASKED NOT TO REVEAL
HIS LAST NAME BECAUSE HE CAME
FROM EL SALVADOR TO THE U.S.
ILLEGALLY.
NOW THE 22-YEAR-OLD BELIEVES
THAT THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT
WANTS HIM AND EVERYONE LIKE HIM
DEPORTED WHILE OTHERS IN EL
SALVADOR WANT HIM DEAD.
IMAGINE CHECKING YOUR VOICEMAIL
AND HEARING THIS... IT SAYS
ESSENTIALLY, WE DROVE BY YOUR
HOUSE AND YOU WEREN'T THERE.
DO YOU YOUR MOTHER WILL ENJOY
WATCHING AS WE KILL YOU?
PLUS BACK IN EL SALVADOR HIS
FAMILY GOT INTO A DISPUTE WITH A
RELATIVE WHO IT TURNED OUT WAS
PART OF THE MOST VIOLENT GANGS
IN THE AMERICAS.
I WAS BEATEN, THREATENED AND
IT WAS A LIFE I DIDN'T WANT TO
LIVE, HE SAYS.
HIS FATHER HAD SNUCK INTO THE
U.S. ILLEGALLY YEARS AGO SO
IN DECEMBER KEVIN CROSSED THE
RIO GRANDE IN
A RAFT AND GOT CAUGHT.
AND BECAUSE THE DETENTION
FACILITY WAS FULL THEY SENT ME
TO PRISON, HE SAYS.
KEVIN MIGHT HAVE STAYED IN
DETENTION FOR YEARS LIKE SOME
MIGRANTS THAT HE MET IF NOT FOR
A CHANCE MEETING ABOUT 10 YEARS
AGO.
>> I MET HIM AT A HOME DEPOT.
>> Reporter: ARTIST MATTHEW
MONAHAN
MET KEVIN'S FATHER IN L.A. AND
THE TWO BECAME FRIENDS.
SO WHEN THE FAMILY LEARNED WHAT
HAPPENED TO KEVIN THEY PAID HIS
BOND AND FLEW HIM HERE TO BE
REUNITED WITH HIS DAD UNTIL HIS
ASYLUM HEARING.
IT WAS HE SAID HIS OWN STAND
AGAINST DONALD TRUMP.
>> THE FACT THAT THERE WAS ONE
CASE, AND ONE WAY TO CONCRETELY
HELP, WAS -- WAS EMPOWERING.
>> Reporter: BUT IN RECENT
MONTHS KEVIN'S SITUATION HAS
BECOME MUCH MORE PRECARIOUS.
FIRST, TRUMP ENDED THE
HUMANITARIAN PROGRAMME THAT HAD
ALLOWED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
EL SALVADORIANS TO STAY IN THE
U.S.
AND THEN THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
ORDERED THE JUDGES TO STOP
GRANTING ASYLUM TO MOST VICTIMS
OF GANG VIOLENCE.
THERE WENT KEVIN'S PLAN.
>> AS MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE
TRYING TO ESCAPE THE GANG
VIOLENCE...
>> Reporter: 11-YEAR-OLD
TINGRI MONAHAN WAS SO TOUCHED BY
KEVIN'S SITUATION THAT SHE
FOCUSED HER MAJOR MATH PROJECT
ON THE
STATISTICS EXPLAINING WHY
MIGRANTS LIKE KEVIN ARE SHOWING
UP BY THE THOUSANDS AT THE
BORDER.
>> WHAT I'M DOING RIGHT NOW IS
HAVING MY VOICE TO BE HEARD AND
SHOWING TO THE PUBLIC AND TO THE
COMMUNITY THAT THIS STUFF
MATTERS.
>> Reporter: THANKS TO THE
MONAHANS THE COMMUNITY RAISED
$30,000 FOR KEVIN'S LEGAL FEES.
>> THIS IS ONE OF THE
CLASSROOMS...
>> Reporter: SEEING TINGRI'S
SCHOOL FOR THE FIRST TIME, KEVIN
CAN'T HELP BUT THINK TO HIS OWN
CHILDHOOD.
I WAS SO HAPPY, FULL OF DREAMS
AND PLANS, HE SAYS, NOT WORRIED
ABOUT ANYTHING.
NOW KEVIN WORRIES
BECAUSE THE U.S. WILL NO LONGER
GRANT ASYLUM TO THOSE FLEEING
GANG VIOLENCE HE COULD BE
DEPORTED, POSSIBLY BEFORE HIS
COURT DATE IN AUGUST.
IT'S INEVITABLE, HE SAYS, IF I
GO BACK THEY'LL KILL ME.
KEVIN SHOWS ME A PICTURE OF HIS
BEST FRIEND IN THE BLACK.
THE BACK OF HIS HEAD IS JUST
GONE.
HE WAS HACKED TO DEATH BY THE
SAME GANG KEVIN SAYS THAT IS
LOOKING FOR HIM.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Reporter: VERY SAD, HE
SAYS.
THEN IT'S BACK TO LEARNING
ENGLISH, ONE WORD AT A TIME.
>> MOVIE.
>> Reporter: HOPING EVENTUALLY
HE'LL HAVE A REASON TO USE THEM
ALL.
[Applause]
KIM BRUNHUBER, CBC NEWS, LOS
ANGELES.
>> Andrew: IN LOS ANGELES
TODAY PROTESTERS SHOWED THEIR
FRUSTRATION WITH ATTORNEY
GENERAL JEFF SESSIONS FOR HIS
PART IN THE SEPARATION OF
FAMILIES SEEKING ASYLUM.
SESSIONS WAS SCHEDULED TO SPEAK
AT A JUSTICE CONFERENCE.
>> I HEREBY DECLARE THIS TO BE
AN UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY...
>> Andrew: POLICE WARNED THE
CROWD TO DISBURSE AND THEN
ARRESTED 25 PEOPLE, INCLUDING A
NUMBER OF CLERGY.
>>> AND IN WASHINGTON ANOTHER
SHOW OF ANGER BUT HERE IT'S
DIRECTED AT TODAY'S SUPREME
COURT RULING IN FAVOUR OF DONALD
TRUMP'S TRAVEL BAN.
CRITICS SAY THAT IT UNFAIRLY
TARGETS MUSLIMS.
BUT PREJUDICED OR NOT, DONALD
TRUMP AS PRESIDENT HAS EVERY
LEGAL RIGHT TO DO IT, LOCKING
OUT TRAVELLERS FROM SEVERAL
LARGELY MUSLIM COUNTRIES IN THE
NAME OF NATIONAL SECURITY.
AS PAUL HUNTER REPORTS THAT HAS
SOME WORRIED WHO'S NEXT.
>> NO WALL, NO BAN...
>> Reporter: VENTING THEIR
ANGER AND THERE REMAINS ALL
KINDS OF PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY
WHO OPPOSE TRUMP'S TRAVEL BAN.
>> THE STATUE OF LIBERTY IS
WEEPING TODAY.
>> THE SUPREME COURT HAS
ENDORSED BIGOTRY AND
ISLAMOPHOBIA.
>> TRUMP'S TRAVEL BAN IS
IMMORAL, IT'S DISAPPOINTING AND
IT'S WRONG.
>> Reporter: BUT RULED THE
COURT, BANNING TRAVEL TO AMERICA
FOR PEOPLE FROM CERTAIN
COUNTRIES IS ENTIRELY WITHIN THE
POWER OF ANY PRESIDENT.
IT'S A HUGE WIN FOR DONALD TRUMP
AND HE KNOWS IT.
>> President Donald Trump: A
TREMENDOUS VICTORY FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE AND FOR OUR
CONSTITUTION.
>> Reporter: THE KEY QUESTION
FOR THE COURT -- IS THE BAN
RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION?
ON THAT CRITICS POINT TO
CANDIDATE TRUMP.
>> DONALD J. TRUMP IS CALLING
FOR A TOTAL AND A COMPLETE
SHUTDOWN OF MUSLIMS ENTERING THE
UNITED STATES.
>> Reporter: AND THOUGH THE
FIRST VERSION OF THE BAN SOON
AFTER TRUMP TOOK OFFICE INDEED
TARGETED ONLY CERTAIN MAJORITY
MUSLIM COUNTRIES, THE CURRENT
BAN, THE ONE STUDIED BY THE
COURT, INCLUDES AS WELL
NON-MUSLIM COUNTRIES.
TRUMP'S PERSONAL VIEWS, SAYS THE
COURT, ARE IRRELEVANT.
THE BAN DEMONSTRATES, QUOTE "A
SUFFICIENT NATIONAL SECURITY
JUSTIFICATION."
A BROAD RULING, VIEWED BY THIS
FORMER FEDERAL IMMIGRATION
ATTORNEY UNDER BARACK OBAMA AS
NOW OPENING THE DOOR TO OTHER
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS.
>> SO LET'S GIVE AN EXAMPLE.
LET'S SAY THAT JUSTIN TRUDEAU
ANGERS THE PRESIDENT ON TRADE
AND HE COULD SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT,
I'M NOT LETTING ANY CANADIANS IN
FOR 30 DAYS, WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT THAT?
>> Reporter: STILL, FOR THE
MOMENT THE FOCUS IS ON THE
COUNTRIES ON THAT LIST AND A
DECISION TODAY SLAMMED BY THOSE
INSISTING THAT MUSLIMS REMAIN
TRUMP'S REAL TARGET.
>> UNFORTUNATELY AS A NATION WE
STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO WHEN
IT COMES TO EQUAL PROTECTION AND
LIVING THE AMERICAN IDEALS.
>> Reporter: THEN AGAIN AS
TRUMP BACKERS WOULD
NOTE, ALL HE'S REALLY DOING IS
PUTTING AMERICA FIRST.
JUST AS HE SAID HE WOULD ON THE
DAY THAT HE MOVED INTO THE WHITE
HOUSE.
PAUL HUNTER, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Andrew: NOW I SHOULD SAY
THAT THE SUPREME COURT DECISION
WAS CLOSE, 5-4.
AND ONE OF THE DISSENTING
OPINIONS CAME FROM JUSTICE SONIA
SOTOMAYOR.
SHE COMPARED IT TO THE
INTERNMENT OF JAPANESE-AMERICANS
IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR AND
UPHOLDING IT, SHE SAYS, MERELY
REPLACES ONE GRAVE DECISION WITH
ANOTHER, HER WORDS.
IT WAS A SEARING CRITICISM AND
IT WENT ON IN PART...
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS
A NATION BUILT UPON THE PROMISE
OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY AND THAT
TODAY'S DECISION FAILS TO
SAFEGUARD THAT FUNDAMENTAL
PRINCIPLE BY LEAVING IN PLACE A
POLICY FIRST ADVERTISED AS A
SHUTDOWN OF MUSLIMS ENTERING THE
UNITED STATES WHICH NOW
MASQUERADES BEHIND A FACADE OF
NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS.
>>> WELL, ON PARLIAMENT HILL
TODAY INDUSTRY LEADERS SOUNDED
THE ALARM ABOUT THE POTENTIALLY
CRIPPLING COST OF A TRADE WAR
WITH THE UNITED STATES.
THEIR DIRE WARNING ABOUT LOST
BUSINESS AND JOB COMES AHEAD OF
CANADA DAY WHICH IS WHEN CANADA
RETALIATES AGAINST THE U.S.,
TARIFFS ON AMERICAN GOODS SET TO
KICK IN.
AS KATIE SIMPSON TELLS US, MANY
BUSINESSES ARE NOT LOOKING TO
THAT OR THE MONTHS TO COME.
>> Reporter: THERE IS ANXIETY
ON THE FLOOR AT THE R.V. CENTRE.
THE FAMILY-RUN BUSINESS OUTSIDE
OF TORONTO EMPLOYS ABOUT 220
PEOPLE BUT SOME OF THOSE JOBS
ARE IN DANGER BECAUSE OF THE
TRADE DISPUTE WITH THE U.S.
>> IF WE HAVE A BIG DOWNTURN I'M
IN TROUBLE.
THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.
MY HOUSE, MY FAMILY, EVERYTHING
IS ON THE LINE.
>> Reporter: OWASCO'S
PRESIDENT SAT ALONGSIDE OTHER
BUSINESS LEADERS TO SHARE
CONCERNS WITH M.P.s STUDYING
THE IMPACTS THAT THE U.S.
TARIFFS ON STEEL AND ALUMINUM
ARE HAVING IN CANADA.
>> WHAT HAPPENS WITH YOU GUYS
OVER THE NEXT FOUR, SIX, 12
MONTHS?
>> BANK ACCOUNT KEEPS GOING DOWN
AND WE'LL HAVE TO LAY OFF MORE
PEOPLE.
>> IF WE'RE UNABLE TO SECURE
RELIEF FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF
CANADA OUR BUSINESS WILL BE
FORCED TO CLOSE WITHIN A FEW
MONTHS AFTER JULY 1st.
>> Reporter: WHILE SOME
INDUSTRY LEADERS DEMAND
FINANCIAL AID OTHERS WANT
STRONGER MEASURES.
>> WE NEED TO INFLICT PAIN ON
U.S. STEEL CONSUMERS,
UNFORTUNATELY, AND THAT'S WHERE
THE PAIN HAS TO BE FELT AND THE
INSURRECTION HAS TO HAPPEN IN
THE U.S.
>> Reporter: CANADA IS TRYING
TO INFLICT PAIN WITH RETALIATORY
TARIFFS ON AMERICAN GOODS KICKS
IN ON JULY 1st BUT THERE'S AN
UNDERSTANDING THAT TRADITIONAL
PRESSURE POINTS MAY NOT WORK
WITH DONALD TRUMP.
>> YOU HAVE TO STOP PRETENDING
THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH A
RATIONAL COUNTERPART.
THESE PEOPLE ARE CAGING CHILDREN
AT THE BORDER.
>> Reporter: FEARS ARE NO
-- NOW GROWING THAT THE U.S.
PRESIDENT
COULD MAKE A BAD SITUATION WORSE
BY IMPOSING NEW TARIFFS ON
IMPORTED VEHICLES.
>> 25% TARIFF ON CARS AND PARTS
WOULD CAUSE WHAT WE LIKE TO CALL
A CARMAGEDDON.
THE INDUSTRY OPERATES ON SINGLE
DIGIT MARGINS AND
IT WOULD GRIND TO AN IMMEDIATE
HALT WITH A 25% INCREASE IN
PRICE.
>> Reporter: OTTAWA SAYS THAT
IT'S STILL FINALIZING A SUPPORT
PLAN FOR CANADIAN BUSINESSES
CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS
TRADE DISPUTE.
BUT THAT'S LITTLE COMFORT FOR
BUSINESS LEADERS WHO SAY THEY
NEED HELP NOW.
KATIE SIMPSON, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA.
>> Andrew: NOW THAT SUPPORT
PLAN KATIE JUST MENTIONED
DOMINATED ANOTHER KEY MEETING IN
OTTAWA TODAY.
FINANCE MINISTER BILL MORNEAU
SAT DOWN WITH HIS PROVINCIAL AND
TERRITORIAL COUNTERPARTS TO
DISCUSS HOW TO BEST WEATHER THE
STORM OF UNCERTAINTY CAUSED BY
DONALD TRUMP'S TRADE TARIFFS AND
NAFTA NEGOTIATIONS.
>> The Hon. Bill Morneau: WE
ABSOLUTELY ARE GOING TO STAND
BEHIND CANADIAN BUSINESSES
CHALLENGED BY THESE TARIFFS.
WE'LL STAND BEHIND CANADIANS
EMPLOYED IN THE STEEL INDUSTRY
BUT CANADIANS IMPACTED BY THESE
TARIFFS.
WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THAT IN
COMING DAYS.
>> Andrew: MEANWHILE QUÉBEC'S
PREMIER TOOK TRADE CONCERNS
DIRECTLY TO WASHINGTON TODAY.
HE TWEETED OUT THIS PICTURE WITH
THE U.S. COMMERCE SECRETARY
WILBUR ROSS.
THE MINISTER SAID THAT IT WAS
FRANK AND HAD THE CLEAR MESSAGE
THAT U.S. TARIFFS ARE
UNJUSTIFIED.
>>> WE'RE TRACKING A NUMBER OF
OTHER STORIES THIS HOUR, ONE OF
THEM IS A SECURITY SCARE IN ONE
OF RUSSIA'S WORLD CUP HOST
CITIES.
SO THIS IS THE SCENE TONIGHT
OUTSIDE OF A HOTEL IN THE CITY.
IT WAS EVACUATED BY RUSSIAN
POLICE DUE TO A BOMB THREAT.
POLICE HAVE SINCE SAID THEY HAVE
RECEIVED MULTIPLE THREATS
TARGETING A NUMBER OF VENUES
THERE BUT AFTER CHECKING
EVERYTHING, THERE'S NO SIGN OF
ANY BOMB.
>> TAQUISHA IS ALIVE AND HAS
ALWAYS BEEN ALIVE AND THIS
DECISION DOES NOT CHANGE THAT.
>> Andrew: THE FAMILY OF
TAQUISHA McKITTY LOST ITS
LEGAL BATTLE TODAY TO KEEP HER
ON LIFE SUPPORT.
SHE WAS DECLARED BRAIN DEAD
ALMOST A YEAR AGO AFTER A DRUG
OVERDOSE.
SHE'S BEEN ON LIFE SUPPORT EVER
SINCE.
HER FAMILY CITING RELIGIOUS
REASONS.
BUT A JUDGE RULED AGAINST THEM.
THE FAMILY DOES HAVE 30 DAYS TO
APPEAL.
>>> AND A BIG COURT DECISION
TODAY IN A HIGH-PROFILE POLYGAMY
CASE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.
WINSTON BLACKMORE AND JAMES OLER
WILL NOT SPEND TIME IN JAIL AND
INSTEAD THEY GOT HOUSE ARREST
AND PROBATION.
THE TWO FORMER RELIGIOUS LEADERS
WERE CONVICTED LAST YEAR OF
PRACTISING POLYGAMY IN THE
COMMUNITY OF BOUNTIFUL.
BLACKMORE HAD 24 WIVES, OLER HAD
FIVE.
>>> HERE'S A LOOK AT WHAT ELSE
WE'RE WORKING ON TONIGHT ON "THE
NATIONAL"...
>>> POLICE SAY THAT THE FORMER
HEAD OF THE CHILDREN'S AID
SOCIETY
PLACED 10 CHILDREN WITH SEXUALLY
ABUSIVE FOSTER PARENTS.
AHEAD A FORMER FOSTER CHILD
TELLS HER STORY.
>>> PLUS, IT ANSWERS YOUR
QUESTIONS AND PLAYS YOUR MUSIC
AND IT CAN EVEN DRIVE CARS BUT
CAN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
SCRIPT A MOVIE?
DIANNE BUCKNER LOOKS AT HOW A.I.
CAN SHAPE PERHAPS MORE THAN WE
THINK.
>>> AND, WELL, JUST LOOK AT
THIS...
>> WILLIE O'REE.
[Cheers and Applause]
>> Andrew: WILLIE O'REE'S
HOMETOWN OF FREDERICTON REACTING
TO THE NEWS THAT HE'LL JOIN THE
HOCKEY HALL OF FAME.
WE'LL BRING YOU HIS REACTION
NEXT.
(*)
>> Andrew: IT WAS A SPECIAL
DAY FOR SIX PEOPLE WHO GOT THE
CALL.
THEY'RE BEING INDUCTED INTO THE
HOCKEY HALL OF FAME AS PART OF
THE CLASS OF 2018.
AMONG THEM IS WILLIE O'REE WHO
BROKE THE COLOUR BARRIER IN
HOCKEY AND OVERCAME A LOT TO
MAKE IT TO THE NHL.
HE PLAYED JUST TWO SEASONS BUT
AS IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS SHOWS
US DECADES LATER WILLIE'S IMPACT
STILL ECHOES.
>> Reporter: THE BEST PART OF
THIS STORY IS WHERE IT STARTS,
AT WILLIE O'REE'S HOMETOWN
HOCKEY.
CRAMMED
TODAY WITH FRIENDS AND FANS.
NERVOUSLY WAITING, STRAINING TO
HEAR THIS...
>> WILLIE O'REE!
[Cheers and Applause]
>> WILLIE O'REE, 83 THIS FALL,
AND EVERYBODY SAYS IT'S HIGH
TIME.
BUT I THINK THAT HE'S HAD TO
EARN HIS WAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH
LIFE SO THIS IS THE TOP OF THE
MOUNTAIN.
>> THE GREATEST TIME OF MY LIFE
I BELIEVE.
>> Reporter: WILLIE O'REE
BROKE BARRIERS AS THE FIRST
BLACK PLAYER IN THE NHL.
HIS FIRST GAME WITH THE BOSTON
BRUINS IN 1958.
60 YEARS LATER THE CALL AT HIS
HOME IN SAN DIEGO WAS ANOTHER
"PINCH ME" MOMENT.
>> I WAS LAUGHING AND I WAS
CRYING AND SO EXCITED TO HEAR
THE NEWS.
>> Reporter: INCREDIBLE TOO
BECAUSE BEING BLACK WAS
ONLY PART OF O'REE'S STORY.
AN INJURY AS A JUNIOR PLAYER HAD
LEFT HIM BLIND IN HIS RIGHT EYE.
HE KEPT IT A SECRET WHEN HE GOT
HIS FIRST PROFESSIONAL BREAK IN
QUÉBEC CITY.
>> SO I PLAYED THAT YEAR AND WE
WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND THAT'S
WHAT GAVE ME THE EXTRA
CONFIDENCE THAT I NEEDED.
I SAYS I CAN DO ANYTHING THAT I
SET MY MIND TO DO AND IF I FEEL
STRONGLY WITHIN MY HEART AND
WITHIN MY MIND.
>> Reporter: O'REE PLAYED 45
GAMES IN THE NHL AND STILL WORKS
AS ITS DIVERSITY AMBASSADOR.
PROMOTING HOCKEY IS FOR
EVERYONE, A PROGRAMME THAT
ENCOURAGES KIDS OF COLOUR TO
PLAY THE GAME.
THE ULTIMATE HOCKEY DAD, CARL
SUBACK HAS TWO SONS IN THE NHL
INCLUDING P.K. SUBBAN.
O'REE HE SAYS INSPIRED THEM AND
MANY MORE.
>> HE'S TELLING HIS STORY TO
INSPIRE YOUNG PEOPLE AND SAYING
IT'S OKAY TO HAVE A DREAM AND
IT'S OKAY TO HAVE A BIG DREAM.
>> Reporter: A COUPLE DAYS AGO
JERMANE LOEWEN BECAME THE FIRST
JAMAICAN-BORN PLAYER DRAFTED BY
THE NHL.
HE HOPES THAT O'REE'S LEGACY
WILL BE PART OF HIS OWN TOO.
>> I WANT TO CARRY THE TORCH IN
ANY WAY THAT I CAN AND KIDS
LOOKING UP TO ME FROM THE BOTTOM
UP AND THEY CAN SEE WHO I AM.
>> Reporter: AS FOR O'REE, HIS
LEGACY IS A LIVING ONE.
HIS MESSAGE TO KIDS NOW A
MANTRA.
>> DON'T LET ANYBODY TELL YOU
THAT YOU CAN'T ATTAIN YOUR GOAL.
IF YOU FEEL STRONGLY WITHIN YOUR
HEART AND YOUR MIND, THEN GO FOR
IT AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT
ANYTHING ELSE, BECAUSE YOU WILL
REGRET IF YOU DON'T TRY.
YOU WILL REGRET IT.
>> Reporter: AND ONE THING
THAT O'REE WILL TELL YOU, WHEN
IT COMES TO THE GAME HE HAS NO
REGRETS.
IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Andrew: NOW MAJOR
PROFESSIONAL SPORTS LEAGUES
ACROSS NORTH AMERICA HAVE MADE
STRIDES TOWARDS GREATER
DIVERSITY IN THE LOCKER ROOM AND
THE BOARD ROOM OVER THE YEARS,
BUT THE FACE OF THE NHL STILL
REMAINS PREDOMINANTLY WHITE.
ONLY ABOUT 5% OF ITS PLAYERS ARE
BLACK.
WHILE IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
IT'S 8%.
AND BOTH THOSE NUMBERS DON'T
EVEN COME CLOSE TO WHAT YOU SEE
IN OTHER NORTH AMERICAN SPORTS
LEAGUES.
69% OF THE PLAYERS IN THE NFL
ARE BLACK AND 81% IN THE NBA.
>>> ONE MORE THING, I MENTIONED
THAT THERE WERE SIX INDUCTEES
ALL TOGETHER, INCLUDING WILLIE
O'REE INTO THE HOCKEY HALL OF
FAME AND THE OTHERS ARE MARTIN
BRODEUR, CONSIDERED ONE OF THE
GREATEST GOALTENDERS OF ALL
TIME.
LONG-TIME TAMPA BAY
STAR MARTIN ST. LOUIS, AND
OLYMPIC AND WORLD CHAMPION JAYNA
HEFFORD.
AND ALSO THERE IS THE RUSSIAN
HOCKEY GREAT ALEXANDER YAKUSHEV
AND NHL COMMISSIONER GARY
BETTMAN.
>>> STILL TO COME ON "THE
NATIONAL"... CAN COMPUTERS
PREDICT WHAT MOVIES PEOPLE WILL
WANT TO SEE?
WE'LL INTRODUCE YOU TO TWO TECH
COMPANIES HOPING TO CODE SUCCESS
AT THE BOX OFFICE.
>> WE HAVE ABOUT 40,000
ATTRIBUTES IN THE SYSTEM SO
ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN
ESSENTIALLY THINK OF WE CAN
CHECK.
WHAT WILL BE GOOD, WHAT WILL BE
BAD AND THE COMBINATION THAT
WILL HELP A STORY TO CREATE MORE
DEMAND.
>> Andrew: YOU MAY HAVE SEEN
ADRIENNE'S REPORTS FROM MALI
THIS WEEK.
WHILE THERE SHE ASKED CANADA'S
CHIEF OF THE DEFENCE STAFF ABOUT
THE LENGTH OF CANADA'S
COMMITMENT TO ITS NEWEST
PEACEKEEPING MISSION -- ONE
YEAR.
>> Adrienne: WHAT WOULD CHANGE
THAT?
>> NOTHING.
>> Adrienne: NOTHING?
>> I THINK THAT IT'S A HARD
DATE, ADRIENNE.
>> Andrew: SO CLEARLY VANCE IS
PUTTING COLD WATER ON ANY NOTION
OF AN OPEN-ENDED COMMITMENT BUT
EVEN A YEAR WOULD LIKELY BE
DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS.
IF THE GOAL IS PROPPING UP THE
GOVERNMENT AND PROTECTING THE
POPULATION, THE THREAT CAN COME
FROM ANY SIDE.
TAKE A U.N. INVESTIGATION WHICH
WRAPPED TODAY.
IT SAYS THAT THE VERY LOCAL
FORCES THAT THE MISSION IS
SUPPORTING, MALLIAN TROOPS, THEY
EXECUTED 12 CIVILIANS IN A
CATTLE MARKET LAST MONTH.
IT WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TIME
AND IT THREATENS TO TURN THE
POPULATION AGAINST THE
GOVERNMENT.
TODAY ADRIENNE RAISED THE ISSUE
WITH A DUTCH PEACEKEEPER ON THE
GROUND.
>> Adrienne: HOW MUCH DO THEY
TRUST THE MALIAN ARMY?
>> OH, IT'S NOT THAT GOOD RIGHT
NOW.
I THINK THAT IT'S REALLY COMPLEX
AND IT'S A LONG PROCESS.
BY BEING AN EXAMPLE AND WE HOPE
THAT IT WILL BE BETTER FOR THE
LOCAL POPULATION TOO.
>> Andrew: CORRUPTION,
EXTREMISM, VIOLENCE, AS DAVID
COMMON EXPLAINS PEACE KEEPING IS
ALWAYS A CHALLENGE BUT IN MALI
THAT GOES DOUBLE.
>> Reporter: CANADIAN SOLDIERS
ARE ENTERING A QUAGMIRE, A
CONFLICT EVEN MORE COMPLEX THAN
AFGHANISTAN.
THEY'VE BEEN PRACTISING FOR
MONTHS TO RAPIDLY RETRIEVE THE
INJURED AND FERRY INTERNATIONAL
PEACEKEEPERS BY AIR.
BUT IT'S HARD TO PREPARE FOR
WHAT COMES NEXT.
A NATION STRUGGLING WITH A PEACE
DEAL THAT NEVER TOOK HOLD.
WHERE EVEN THOSE WELCOMING US IN
ARE INVESTED IN KEEPING UP THE
FIGHT.
>> THERE'S NO CLEAR GOOD GUYS OR
BAD GUYS.
>> Reporter: TERRORISM
RESEARCHER AISHA AHMAD TRAVELS
REGULARLY TO MALI.
>> ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS
THAT WE HAVE IS NOT NECESSARILY
THAT WE HAVE TOUGH RIVALS BUT WE
HAVE REALLY BAD ALLIES.
>> Reporter: THOSE ALLIES, THE
ONES WHO AGREED TO PEACE NOT
ONLY KEEP FIGHTING BUT ARE
CONNECTED TO CORRUPTION.
AND SAYS PROFESSOR AHMAD, THE
DRUG TRADE.
>> THOSE GROUPS ARE IMPLICATED
IN COCAINE TRAFFICKING, IN
ILLICIT BUSINESS, AND HAVE
BECOME FINANCIALLY INCENTIVIZED
TO MAINTAIN A STATUS QUO.
WHEN THEY REGULARLY FIGHT
AGAINST EACH OTHER FOR CONTROL
OVER THESE TURFS.
>> Reporter: THAT DIFFICULT
DYNAMIC FILTERS BACK HERE TO
U.N. HEADQUARTERS IN NEW YORK.
THEY KNOW THE CHALLENGES.
ONE OF THOSE WHO HELPED TO
CREATE THE MISSION WARNS OF THE
DANGERS.
>> YOU SHOULD EXPECT HOSTILE
FORCE, AND YOU SHOULD EXPECT
ATTACKS ON CONVOYS.
YOU SHOULD EXPECT I.E.D.
THREATS, ETC.
>> Reporter: ARTHUR BOTELLIS
IS STILL
INVOLVED IN THE PEACE EFFORT.
HE POINTS OUT THAT MOST OF THE
PEACEKEEPERS AREN'T AS WELL
EQUIPPED AS THE CANADIANS.
SO OTTAWA IS UNDER PRESSURE TO
GIVE MORE.
>> IF CANADA WERE CONTRIBUTING
IN ADDITION TO THE HELICOPTER
UNIT SOME INFANTRY, FOR
INSTANCE, THAT WOULD BE WELCOME
BECAUSE AGAIN THAT EXPERIENCE
WOULD BE RELEVANT.
RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT THE CASE.
MAYBE, YOU KNOW, ONCE CANADA
GETS A SENSE OF THE REALITIES ON
THE GROUND AND HAVING THE
HELICOPTER UNIT AND MAYBE THE
COUNTRY WOULD THEN CONSIDER
EXPANDING ITS CONTRIBUTION.
>> Reporter: SENDING SIX
HELICOPTERS WAS ACTUALLY JUST A
STARTING POINT FOR THE PLANNERS
HERE AT THE UNITED NATIONS.
THEY HAVE ASKED CANADA FOR A LOT
MORE -- SEND TROOPS, SEND
POLICE, SEND MORE MONEY,
INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT
YOU'RE THERE.
BUT THE CANADIANS WHO, WHO
HERALDED A RETURN TO THE WORLD
STAGE UNDER THE TRUDEAU
GOVERNMENT, HAVE SO FAR BEEN
RELUCTANT.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: ANY GOVERNMENT NEEDS
TO TAKE IT EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY
THE RESPONSIBILITY INVOLVED IN
SENDING CANADIAN TROOPS
POTENTIALLY INTO HARM'S WAY
AROUND THE WORLD.
>> Reporter: THE DEFENCE MAY
HAVE WELL LOOKED AT MALI AND
REALISED HOW MUCH OF A MESS IT
HAS BECOME.
BUT AS THE TRUDEAU GOVERNMENT
LOBBIES FOR A SEAT ON THE U.N.
SECURITY COUNCIL ANY
CONTRIBUTION TO PEACEKEEPING
LOOKS GOOD.
THE DEPLOYMENT ALL PART OF A
LARGER POLITICAL GAME.
WHETHER IT CAN ACHIEF PEACE,
THAT'S ANOTHER STORY.
>> PEACEKEEPERS ARE NOT THERE TO
HOST PEACE OR TO FORCE PEACE ON
THE NATIONAL ACTORS.
THAT IS FOR THE NATIONAL ACTORS
TO ACHIEVE PEACE.
>> Reporter: PROFESSOR AHMAD
AGREES BUT IS NOT CONVINCED THAT
THE WARRING GROUPS EVEN WANT
PEACE.
>> THE PROBLEM WITH THIS
PARTICULAR MISSION IS THAT THE
INTERVENTION ITSELF IS NOT
LEADING TO THAT OUTCOME.
AND SO FOR THAT REASON I'M
DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT OUR MEN
AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM WOULD BE
PUT INTO A SITUATION WHERE
THEY'RE POTENTIALLY BEING HANDED
AN UNWINNABLE WAR.
>> Reporter: THEIR DEPLOYMENT
HAS NOW BEGUN.
BY AUGUST THEY'LL BE FULLY
OPERATIONAL.
DAVID COMMON, CBC NEWS.
>> Andrew: BY THE WAY, DAVID
HAS A FULL LENGTH INTERVIEW WITH
AISHA AHMAD, THE RESEARCHER THAT
YOU SAW ON HIS PIECE.
YOU CAN SEE IT AT
CBCNEWS.CA/THENATIONAL.
>>> THIS COUNTRY IS CONTRIBUTING
THERE IN OTHER WAYS FOR YEARS.
IN HUMANITARIAN AND DEVELOPMENT
AID, CANADA HAS GIVEN ABOUT A
BILLION DOLLARS TO MALI OVER THE
PAST DECADE.
AND THE COUNTRY HAS LONG BEEN A
FOCUS FOR OTHER INTERNATIONAL
DONORS AS WELL.
OVER THE PAST 50 YEARS, WESTERN
COUNTRIES HAVE GIVEN AN
ESTIMATED $100 BILLION.
TO EXPERTS THAT SUGGESTS THE
U.N. IS IN THIS FOR THE LONG
HAUL.
>> HOPEFULLY OVER A PERIOD OF A
DECADE THE MISSION WILL BE ABLE
TO DECREASE IN SIZE.
BUT I FORESEE THAT THERE WILL
NEED TO BE A U.N. PRESENCE THERE
OVER THE COMING ELECTION AND
INTO SUBSEQUENT ELECTIONS TO
MAKE SURE THAT MALI STAYS ON
TRACK.
AND THAT THIS MAJOR
INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT IS NOT
LOST.
>> Andrew: THIS INVESTMENT IS
STRATEGIC, HUMANITARIAN, BUT
ALSO ECONOMIC.
YOU SEE, THERE ARE MINING
OPPORTUNITIES IN MALI.
SO CANADIAN MINING COMPANIES
HAVE ALSO INVESTED MORE THAN A
BILLION DOLLARS IN THE COUNTRY.
WHILE ADRIENNE AND HER TEAM WERE
IN GAO THEY SNAPPED SOME
TERRIFIC PICTURES OF THE
CANADIAN ADVANCED TEAM AS IT
LANDED.
YOU CAN FIND THEM ON OUR
INSTAGRAM PAGE @CBCTHENATIONAL.
>>> WE'VE GOT A NUMBER OF OTHER
DEVELOPING STORIES ON OUR RADAR
THIS HOUR, INCLUDING THAT SEARCH
UNDERWAY
IN THAILAND FOR A YOUNG SOCCER
TEAM MISSING INSIDE OF A FLOODED
CAVE.
THEY ARE PRAYING FOR GOOD NEWS
OUTSIDE OF THE CAVE AS THE
SEARCH FOR THE 12 BOYS AND THEIR
COACH MOVES INTO ITS FOURTH DAY.
THE OFFICIALS SAY THEY STILL
HOPE TO FIND THE TEAM ALIVE BUT
SO FAR THE SEARCH HAS BEEN
DIFFICULT.
CREWS ARE NOW TRYING TO PUMP
WATER OUT OF THE CAVE SO THAT
IT'S SAFER FOR NAVY SEAL DIVERS
TO OPERATE.
>>> U.S. MEDIA REPORTING TONIGHT
THAT THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS
SECRETARY SARAH SANDERS IS
GETTING SECRET SERVICE
PROTECTION.
OFFICIALS WON'T SAY WHY THE
DECISION WAS MADE BUT IT COMES
AFTER SANDERS WAS ASKED TO LEAVE
A RESTAURANT RECENTLY BECAUSE OF
HER ROLE WITH THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION.
ADDITIONAL SECURITY IS
REPORTEDLY BEING ADDED AT HER
HOME ON A TEMPORARY BASIS.
>>> AND THAT WAS PRINCE WILLIAM
IN JERUSALEM TODAY LAYING A
WREATH AT A MEMORIAL FOR VICTIMS
OF THE HOLOCAUST.
HIS TRIP IS THE FIRST OFFICIAL
VISIT TO ISRAEL BY A MEMBER OF
THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY.
HE'LL BE TOURING THE REGION
UNTIL THURSDAY.
TOMORROW HE'S EXPECTED TO TRAVEL
TO THE WEST BANK TO MEET WITH
PALESTINIAN PRESIDENT MAHMOUD
ABBAS.
>>> WELL NOW TO TWO STORIES OF
CANADIAN CHILDREN SEPARATED FROM
THEIR FAMILIES AND HOW THE
SYSTEM FAILED TO KEEP THEM SAFE.
RON CHARLES BEGINS OUR COVERAGE
IN SOUTHERN ONTARIO WHERE
GUARDIANS UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF
CHILDREN'S AID WERE SENT TO JAIL
FOR AWFUL CRIMES AND NOW THE
JUSTICE SYSTEM WANTS
ACCOUNTABILITY FROM THE
ADMINISTRATOR WHO WAS IN CHARGE.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW, OBVIOUSLY,
THE BEHAVIOUR WAS VERY
INAPPROPRIATE.
>> Reporter: WHEN M.K. WAS A
15-YEAR-OLD IN 2006, THE PRINCE
EDWARD COUNTY CHILDREN'S AID
SOCIETY PLACED HER IN A FOSTER
HOME RUN BY A YOUNG COUPLE, JOE
AND JANET HONE.
M.K., WHOSE IDENTITY IS UNDER A
PUBLICATION BAN, REMEMBERS WHAT
HAPPENED WHEN ONE OF TWO OTHER
TEENAGED GIRLS IN THE HOME
COMPLAINED TO CHILDREN'S AID
ABOUT JOE HONES' SEXUALLY
INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR.
>> THEY HAD ASKED US IF THAT HAD
ACTUALLY HAPPEN AND WE SAID,
YES.
WE WITNESSED THIS HAPPENING.
HE WAS TOLD NOT TO DO THAT AGAIN
AND IT WAS LEFT AT THAT.
WHEN THE BEHAVIOUR PROGRESSED
WITH ME I FELT IN A SENSE THAT
IT WAS NORMAL.
>> Reporter: OVER THE NEXT
FLY YEARS JOE SEXUALLY
ABUSED M.K. AND JANET COVERED IT
UP.
>> WE WERE ACTUALLY TOLD BY MY
FOSTER MOTHER THAT MY FOSTER
FATHER WAS NOT TO BE PRESENT
WHEN THEY WOULD DO THE ANNUAL
VISITS AND THAT WAS ACTUALLY A
SUGGESTION FROM PEOPLE WHO
WORKED AT CHILDREN'S AID BECAUSE
HE WAS NOT NECESSARILY ABLE TO
COVER UP HIS BEHAVIOUR.
>> Reporter: THE HONES PLEADED
GUILTY IN 2011 TO A NUMBER OF
SEXUAL ABUSE OFFENSES AGAINST
M.K. AND OTHER CHILDREN IN THEIR
CARE.
A JUDGE SENTENCED HIM TO FOUR
YEARS IN PRISON AND HER TO
THREE.
BUT THEIRS WASN'T THE ONLY CASE.
ANOTHER FOUR PRINCE EDWARD
COUNTY
FOSTER FAMILIES WERE ACCUSED OF
ABUSING THEIR FOSTER CHILDREN.
SO MANY CONVICTIONS IN SUCH A
SMALL JURISDICTION LED TO A
REVIEW OF THE CHILDREN'S AID
SOCIETY.
IT FOUND A POORLY RUN
DYSFUNCTIONAL C.A.S. RIFE WITH
IN-FIGHTING THAT INTERFERED WITH
PLANNING AND PLACING OF
CHILDREN, APPROPRIATE
SCREENING AND ASSESSMENT
REQUIREMENTS FOR FOSTER HOMES
WERE NOT MET.
AND THE C.A.S. HAD NO CLEAR AND
COHESIVE RESPONSE TO ALLEGATIONS
OF SEXUAL ABUSE.
NOW SIX YEARS LATER THE
SOCIETY'S FORMER EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR IS FACING CRIMINAL
NEGLIGENCE CHARGES FOR RUNNING A
C.A.S. WHO FOSTERED CHILDREN
WITH ABUSERS.
WILLIAM SWEET DECLINED TO
COMMENT WHEN CBC KNOCKED ON HIS
DOOR IN PICTON, ONTARIO.
>> NO, I'M SORRY, I'M NOT
INTERESTED.
>> Reporter: YOU SURE?
I WANTED TO ASK YOU...
>> Reporter: THE PRINCE COUNTY
C.A.S. WAS MERGED SIX YEARS AGO
INTO
A LARGER REGIONAL SOCIETY AND
HEADED BY MARK CARTOUCHE.
>> FOLLOWING THE PROCESSES FOR
APPROVALS OF HOMES AND THE
OVERSIGHT AND HOW TO WORK IN
HOMES.
>> Reporter: AND M.K. SAYS
THAT SHE AND THE OTHER ABUSED
FORMER FOSTER CHILDREN WILL
FOLLOW SWEET'S TRIAL CLOSELY.
>> I HOPE THAT THIS IS AN EYE
OPENER FOR THEM FOR SURE.
AND I HOPE THAT THE AGENCIES CAN
BE MINDFUL OF THE PEOPLE THAT
THEY ARE ALLOWING TO BE FOSTER
PARENTS.
>> Reporter: SWEET WILL BE
BACK IN COURT NEXT MONTH.
RON CHARLES, CBC NEWS, PICKTON,
ONTARIO.
>> Andrew: THE ISSUE OF CHILD
PROTECTION WAS ALSO TOP OF MIND
IN ALBERTA TODAY WITH THE CALL
FOR THE PROVINCE TO DO MORE TO
BATTLE OPIOID ADDICTION AMONG
YOUNG PEOPLE.
>> WE'RE CALLING IN OUR REPORT
FOR THAT SUBSTANCE ABUSE
EDUCATION TO BE EMBEDDED IN THE
SCHOOL CURRICULUM AND THAT IT'S
TO TAKE PLACE IN ELEMENTARY AND
INTO THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADES.
>> Andrew: THE PLEA FOR A
YOUTH SPECIFIC DRUG STRATEGY IS
COMING FROM THE ALBERTA CHILD
AND YOUTH ADVOCATE.
IT FOLLOWS HIS REVIEW OF 12
DEATHS, TRAGIC STORIES OF TEENS
WHO DIED FROM OPIOID OVERDOSES
OVER A TWO-YEAR PERIOD WHILE
WRESTLING WITH FAMILY BREAKDOWN
AND CRIME AND OTHER ISSUES.
>> HARM REDUCTION CAN OPEN THE
DOOR TO A RELATIONSHIP.
AND THAT CAN LEAD TO POSITIVE
INFLUENCE TOWARDS HEALTHIER
BEHAVIOUR.
>> Andrew: AMONG THE OTHER
RECOMMENDATIONS, MORE TRAINING
FOR FRONTLINE WORKERS WHO DEAL
WITH CHILDREN TO RECOGNIZE SIGNS
OF ADDICTION AND INTERVENE
EARLY.
WITH A FOCUS ON YOUNG PEOPLE
WITH MENTAL HEALTH OR COGNITIVE
PROBLEMS.
ALSO A MENTION THAT FAMILY AND
CLOSE FRIENDS SHOULD PLAY A ROLE
IN TREATMENT.
THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THAT IT'S
REVIEWING THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS.
>>> IT'S NOT JUST YOUNG
CANADIANS WHO CAN FIND
THEMSELVES TARGETED IN PLACES
MEANT TO BE SAFE.
AS LGBTQ PEOPLE GROW OLDER THEY
CAN SOMETIMES BE FORCED BACK
INTO THE CLOSET TO AVOID
DISCRIMINATION.
OUR NICK PURDON WILL HAVE THAT
STORY TOMORROW.
HERE'S A PREVIEW...
>> I'M NOT AFRAID OF DYING, WHAT
I'M AFRAID OF IS THE TIME FROM
NOW UNTIL THE TIME THAT I DO
DIE.
GOING INTO A SENIORS HOME, IT'S
--
>> Reporter: DO YOU WORRY THAT
PEOPLE WILL TREAT YOU
DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE YOU'RE GAY?
>> I DO.
>> THIS ONE NURSE CAME IN AND
SAID TO ME, LOOK AT ME YOU'RE A
MAN.
IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT YOU'RE ONE
OF THOSE AND NOW I HAVE TO COME
AND CLEAN YOU UP.
AND FOR THE WHOLE TIME THAT SHE
WAS CLEANING ME SHE KEPT MAKING
HOMOPHOBIC REMARKS.
>> I HAD SOME FRIENDS AND ONE OF
THE THINGS THEY ASKED ME IS, YOU
KNOW, COULD YOU STAND IN THE
DOORWAY IF A PERSON OR A SERVICE
WORKER OR A NURSE WOULD GO BY
AND SIGNAL US.
BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO BE SEEN
HOLDING HANDS OR EMBRACING.
>> Andrew: REMEMBER THAT YOU
CAN GET A LITTLE BIT OF "THE
NATIONAL" IN YOUR INBOX EARLIER
IN THE DAY.
EVERY WEEKDAY "THE NATIONAL
TODAY" GOES DEEP ON SEVERAL
NOTABLE STORIES AND EXPLORES
STORIES THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE
MISSED.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
AS YOU KNOW PAROLE IS A
PRIVILEGE.
>> Andrew: FOR YEARS NOW
HOLLYWOOD FOUND SAFETY IN
SEQUELS.
THIS MONTH ALONE WE HAVE SEEN
THE RELEASE OF "OCEAN'S 8".
>> FOR 3 1/2 WEEKS THE MET WILL
HOST ITS ANNUAL BALL
AND WE ARE GOING TO ROB IT.
>> Andrew: AND THE RETURN OF
THE FAMILY IN "INCREDIBLES 2".
>> YOU KNOW IT'S CRAZY, RIGHT?
TO HELP MY FAMILY I HAVE TO
LEAVE IT.
TO FIX
THE LAW I HAVE TO BREAK IT.
>> Andrew: AND A NEW BREED OF
DINOSAUR IN "JURASSIC
WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM."
>> THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS
CREATURE THAT EVER WALKED THE
EARTH.
>> Andrew: ALL THREE FILMS
HAVE HAD STRONG OPENING WEEKENDS
AT THE BOX OFFICE BUT
MAINTAINING THAT KIND OF
MOMENTUM ISN'T EASY.
IN FACT, TICKET SALES FOR
"INCREDIBLES 2" TOOK A NOSEDIVE
THIS PAST WEEKEND.
THAT'S BAD NEWS FOR AN
INDUSTRY HAVING A HARD TIME
FILLING SEATS.
LAST YEAR TICKET SALES FELL TO
THE LOWEST LEVEL IN 25 YEARS IN
BOTH CANADA AND THE UNITED
STATES.
WHILE AT THE SAME TIME BIG-TIME
MOVIE MAKERS SEEM TO BE
INVESTING MORE THAN EVER BEFORE.
CONSIDER OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE
MOVIES EVER MADE, THE MAJORITY
WERE FROM THE LAST 10 YEARS.
SO HOW TO TURN THINGS AROUND?
WELL, THE KEY MAY BE IN SOME
CANADIAN-MADE TECHNOLOGY THAT
LEANS ON MACHINES TO TELL MOVIE
MAKERS WHAT IS LIKELY TO SUCCEED
AND WHAT'S NOT.
THE CBC'S DIANNE BUCKNER SHOWS
US HOW.
>> Reporter: CREATIVE MINDS
GETTING TO WORK.
THIS GROUP IS ON THE HUNT FOR
THE NEXT GREAT TELEVISION SERIES
OR EVEN A BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE.
>> IF YOU THINK ABOUT TEENS...
THIS FEELS LIKE A HIT.
>> Reporter: THEY'RE TALKING
ABOUT STORIES FOUND ON THE
WATTPAD, THE
SUCCESSFUL ONLINE STORYTELLING
COMPANY THEY WORK FOR.
>> ALICIA'S DAILY GRIND IS
WEARING HER DOWN.
SHE WAS SLEEP WALKING THROUGH
LIFE AND NO AMOUNT OF CAFFEINE
COULD WAKE HER UP.
>> Reporter: THIS CORPORATE
VIDEO EXPLAINS HOW ANYONE COULD
WRITE STORIES OR JUST READ AND
COMMENT ON ONES WRITTEN BY
OTHERS.
65 MILLION PEOPLE USE WATTPAD
WORLDWIDE.
>> ANYTIME THAT THERE'S A TWIST
OUR COMMUNITY WENT WILD.
>> Reporter: THEIR COMMUNITY
IS THE BAROMETER OF WHAT COULD
BE POPULAR.
>> HOW BIG IS THIS ONE?
>> Reporter: AARON LEVITZ IS
THE HEAD OF THE WATTPAD STUDIOS,
THE NEW MOVIE AND TV DIVISION.
>> WITH THAT AND THE DATA THAT
WE HAVE, AUDIENCES TELLING US, I
LOVE THIS STORY, I LOVE THIS
PARAGRAPH
IN THIS STORY AND I LOVE THIS
PARAGRAPH AND I LOVE THIS
CHAPTER AND I DON'T LOVE THIS
CHAPTER.
WE FELT THAT IT WAS TIME TO
INVEST IN THAT KNOWLEDGE THAT WE
HAVE AND WE HAVE TO HELP THE
INDUSTRIES TO DO BETTER.
>> DAY IN, DAY OUT, PEOPLE
FLOATED BY HER.
STRANGERS WITH ONLY CURSORY
FAMILIARITY, AIMING FOR A QUICK
FIX AND THEN, POOF, OFF INTO THE
WORLD.
>> Reporter: THE APP HAS
ALREADY TURNED SOME OF ITS
ONLINE USERS INTO BESTSELLING
AUTHORS OF ACTUAL BOOKS.
>> SURE, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT
ONE OF MY FAVOURITES CURRENTLY
WHICH IS "EXPIRATION DATE."
>> Reporter: IT WILL HELP TO
DEVELOP SCRIPTS THAT THE
AUDIENCES WILL PAY TO SEE.
>> THIS STORY IS GROWING FASTER
THAN ANY OTHER STORY THIS WEEK.
AND THIS STORY GOT 15 COMMENTS
BEFORE ANY OTHER STORY GOT 15
COMMENTS AND THIS STORY HAS 6.5
TIMES MORE READING TIME THAN ANY
OTHER STORY IN THAT GENRE AND
THAT SIGNAL BRINGS IT TO THE
STUDIO'S ATTENTION.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> Reporter: THE DATA HELPED
TO CREATE "THE KISSING BOOTH"
A BOOK THAT IS NOW A MOVIE ON
NETFLIX.
IT WAS RANKED AS ONE OF THE FOUR
MOST POPULAR MOVIES IN NORTH
AMERICA.
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> Reporter: CONTRAST THAT
WITH THE LATEST IN
HOLLYWOOD STAR WARS FRANCHISE
"SOLO," IT'S STRUGGLING TO BREAK
EVEN.
>> THIS MOVIE, DESPITE HAVING
MADE $180 MILLION IN 18 DAYS
WHICH BY ANY SCALE IS A PRETTY
IMPRESSIVE NUMBER, THEY'RE
SAYING THAT IT'S GOING TO LOSE
MONEY.
IT'S THE FIRST STAR WARS MOVIE
TO LOSE MONEY.
>> Reporter: JESSE WENTE SAYS
THAT THE MOVIE INDUSTRY IS
THREATENED BY NEW SERIOUS
COMPETITION.
>> YOU CAN WATCH MOVIES IN A
VARIETY OF WAYS THAT YOU JUST
COULDN'T 10, 15 YEARS AGO.
(*)
>> Reporter: CALL IT THE
NETFLIX EFFECT.
STREAMING SERVICES HAVE MADE IT
THAT MUCH HARDER TO GET PEOPLE
OUT TO THEATRES TO PAY FOR
TICKETS AND TREATS.
IN KITCHENER, ONTARIO, MEET JACK
ZHANG.
HIS COMPANY HAS CREATED SOFTWARE
THAT USES ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE TO CROSS REFERENCE
MOVIE PLOTS WITH HOW MUCH MONEY
THOSE MOVIES MADE.
>> SO WE HAVE ABOUT 40,000
ATTRIBUTES IN THE SYSTEM.
SO ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN
ESSENTIALLY THINK OF WE CAN
CHECK.
WHAT WOULD BE GOOD, WHAT WOULD
BE BAD AND WHAT COMBINATION
WOULD HELP A STORY TO CREATE
MORE DEMAND AMONG THE AUDIENCE.
(*)
* HUSH LITTLE BABY DON'T SAY A
WORD *
>> Reporter: HE USED THE
SOFTWARE HIMSELF TO MAKE A MOVIE
TRAILER.
IT WORKED, DESPITE A $30 BUDGET,
AND THE VIDEO ATTRACTED
2.3 MILLION VIEWS ON
YouTube.
AND THAT ATTRACTED INVESTORS.
>> THIS IS THE FIRST EVER A.I.
CORRELATED FILM IN HISTORY.
>> THE BEST MOVIES ARE THE ONES
THAT
ARE THE MOST HUMAN.
THE ONES THAT ARE MOST
REFLECTIVE OF WHAT IT IS TO BE
ALIVE AND TO CONNECT WITH US ON
THAT HUMAN LEVEL.
CAN AN ALGORITHM PRODUCE THAT?
>> Reporter: CONSIDERING THE
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS LOST ON
BOX OFFICE BOMBS SUCH AS "A
WRINKLE IN TIME" STARRING OPRAH
WINFREY AND REESE WITHER SPOON,
MORE MOVIE STUDIOS MAY BE
WILLING TO GIVE TECHNOLOGY A
SHOT.
BOTH DREAMLIKE AND WATTPAD HAVE
BIG AMBITIONS AND MARKETING
TEAMS IN HOLLYWOOD.
DIANNE BUCKNER, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Andrew: FASCINATING STUFF.
>>> SO NORMALLY WHEN YOU THINK
DESTINATION WEDDING YOU MIGHT
THINK SUN, SAND, SURF AND SOUTH,
RIGHT?
BUT ONE ONTARIO COUPLE TICKED
THE FIRST THREE OF THOSE BOXES
AND THEN THEY HEADED UP.
SHAWNA AND DREW MITCHELL'S
EXTREMELY NORTHERN NUPTIALS IS
OUR "MOMENT OF THE DAY" JUST
AHEAD.
>>> AND ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
BORDER A LOT OF THE IMMIGRATION
DEBATE CENTRES ON ASYLUM, WHO
DESERVES IT, WHO ABUSES IT.
ADRIENNE IS WORKING ON A STORY
OF ONE ASYLUM SEEKER IN THE
U.S., A MEXICAN JOURNALIST STUCK
IN THE SYSTEM WHO SAYS THAT THE
STAKES COULDN'T BE HIGHER.
WE'LL HAVE THAT FOR YOU ON
THURSDAY.
HERE'S A SNEAK PEEK...
>> Adrienne: SO ABOUT A DECADE
AGO, EMILIO RODRIGUEZ WAS
WRITING ABOUT CORRUPTION IN THE
MILITARY AND HE WAS HUNTED AND
THREATENED AND ATTACKED BY THE
MEXICAN MILITARY.
SO IT WAS AROUND THAT TIME THAT
HE TRIED TO SEEK ASYLUM IN THE
UNITED STATES.
HIS CASE HAS BEEN WINDING ITS
WAY THROUGH THE COURTS EVER
SINCE.
AN AMERICAN JUDGE DECIDED THAT
EMILIO SHOULD BE DEPORTED.
SO EMILIO AND HIS SON HAVE BEEN
IN DETENTION HERE IN EL PASO
SINCE SEPTEMBER AND WE HAVE
TRIED TO GET IN.
THE FINAL WORD IS THAT WE CAN
BUT WE CAN ONLY GET AUDIO AND
NOT VIDEO, WHICH IS WHAT THIS IS
ALL ABOUT.
THERE'S SO MANY QUESTIONS TO ASK
THESE TWO, INCLUDING, YOU KNOW,
HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THAT YOU
CAN HANG ON.
AND WHAT IS IT LIKELY TO HAPPEN
IF YOU DO GET SENT BACK TO
MEXICO?
WE'LL SEE WHAT WE GET.
MY FIRST QUESTION, FOR EITHER
ONE OF YOU BUT MOSTLY YOU,
EMILIO, HOW ARE YOU?
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Adrienne: WHAT HAPPENS TO
EMILIO IF HE GETS DEPORTED?
>> IF HE GOES BACK HOME WHERE HE
HAS HIS ANCESTORAL HOME, HE IS
DEAD.
THEY WILL KILL HIM.
>> Andrew: SHAWNA AND DREW
MITCHELL TRAVELLED A LONG WAY TO
GET MARRIED.
THEIR TRIP STARTED IN THEIR
HOMETOWN OF CALENDAR, ONTARIO,
THEN THEY DROVE TO TORONTO, FLEW
TO WHITEHORSE, AND THEN TOOK THE
HIGHWAY FROM INUVIK AND
TUKTOYAKTUK.
>> WE GOT ENGAGED AND WE
THOUGHT, WHY NOT GET MARRIED UP
THERE?
WE ALREADY HAD A FAMILY TRIP
PLANNED.
SO MY PARENTS WERE ALREADY
PLANNING TO BE IN WHITEHORSE AND
INVITED US TO COME UP FOR THE
SUMMER SOLSTICE.
>> AS SOON AS WE GOT THE IDEA TO
GET MARRIED UP HERE, I STARTED
PLANNING WITH GOOGLE AND JUST
COLD CALLS TO VARIOUS PEOPLE.
WE WERE CONNECTED WITH THE
SIGLIT DRUMMERS, WHO WERE ABLE
TO DRUM FOR US, AND MADE AN
AISLE FOR ME TO WALK DOWN.
AND THEN THEY GAVE US SOME DANCE
LESSONS AT THE END AS WELL.
>> THE COMMUNITY AND THE PEOPLE,
THEY'RE SO FRIENDLY AND SO
WILLING TO HELP, IT'S ABSOLUTELY
INCREDIBLE.
>> IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, ACTUALLY.
THE WEATHER TURNED OUT PERFECT.
>> IT WAS A BEACH AND SHAWNA
ALWAYS WANT ADD BEACH WED, SO IT
TURNED OUT.
>> Andrew: I'LL SAY.
BEAUTIFUL LOCATION, TO BE SURE.
AND THEY HAD BEEN PLANNING THAT
WEDDING FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND
THEY HAD TO PLAN IT REMOTELY, SO
SHAWNA WAS EMAILING A LOT OF
PEOPLE AND SHE BECAME CLOSE
FRIENDS WITH A NUMBER OF THEM,
TO THE POINT WHERE SHE FELT LIKE
SHE WAS SURROUNDED BY FAMILY AND
FRIENDS.
IN THE END, IT WASN'T JUST THE
WEDDING THEY CELEBRATED
THE DAY BEFORE THE CEREMONY,
THEY WERE CELEBRATING WITH THE
LOCAL COMMUNITY FOR NATIONAL
INDIGENOUS PEOPLE'S DAY.
THERE YOU HAVE IT.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR THIS
TUESDAY, JUNE 26.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
