>> Andrew: ON THIS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT, THE U.S. SUPREME COURT
LOSES ITS SWING VOTE.
ANTHONY KENNEDY'S REPLACEMENT
COULD BECOME ONE OF THE MOST
CONSEQUENTIAL DECISIONS TRUMP
MAKES.
WE'LL EXPLAIN WHY IT COULD
CHANGE THE HUMAN RIGHTS
LANDSCAPE.
MONEY LAUNDERING AT B.C.
CASINOS.
A SCATHING REPORT SAYS IT'S A
MAJOR ISSUE AFTER CBC
INVESTIGATION.
BRITISH COLUMBIA PROMISES TO
CLAMP DOWN.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL".
[ * ]
>> Andrew: THE U.S. SUPREME
COURT IS ABOUT TO MAKE A HARD
RIGHT TURN.
JUSTICE ANTHONY KENNEDY, A
PENDULUM BETWEEN REPUBLICANS AND
DEMOCRATS IS RETIRING LEAVING
DONALD TRUMP TO NAME HIS
REPLACEMENT.
AND TONIGHT, THE PRESIDENT SAID
THIS.
>> President Donald Trump: WE
HAVE A PICK TO COME UP WITH, WE
HAVE TO PICK A GREAT ONE.
WE HAVE TO PICK ONE THAT IS
GOING TO BE THERE FOR 40 YEARS,
45 YEARS.
>> Andrew: AND THAT COULD MEAN A
GENERATION OF INFLUENCE, MAKING
HIS CHOICE AS PAUL /* HUNTER
EXPLAINS.
>> IT'S ANTHONY KENNEDY'S
RESIGNATION QUITTING THE SUPREME
COURT AFTER 30 YEARS, BUT IT'S
DONALD TRUMP'S MOMENT.
>> WE WILL BEGIN OUR SEARCH FOR
A NEW JUSTICE OF THE UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT THAT WILL
BEGIN IMMEDIATELY.
>> Reporter: IT'S ANOTHER CHANCE
FOR TRUMP TO SHAPE THE POLITICS
OF THE COURT FOR YEARS TO COME.
KENNEDY IS A CONSERVATIVE, BUT
ONE WHO WOULD REGULARLY SIDE
WITH LIBERALS AS HE DID ON
ABORTION RIGHTS AND SAME-SEX
MARRIAGE.
THOUGH THE PRESIDENT HAD NOTHING
BUT PRAISE FOR KENNEDY TODAY --
>> President Donald Trump: HE IS
A MAN WHO HAS DISPLAYED GREAT
VISION.
>> Reporter: TRUMP WILL ALMOST
CERTAINLY REPLACE HIM WITH
SOMEONE MUCH MORE FORCEFULLY
CONSERVATIVE.
IN FACT, THERE IS ALREADY A
SHORT LIST OF 25 DRAWN UP LAST
YEAR.
>> IT WILL BE SOMEBODY FROM THAT
LIST.
>> Reporter: THE FACT IS THERE
IS LITTLE DEMOCRATS CAN DO TO
BLOCK ANYONE TRUMP'S CHOOSES.
THEIR FEAR CENTRES ON THE SOCIAL
ISSUES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR A
RESHAPED SUPREME COURT TO, FOR
EXAMPLE, CURTAIL AMERICAN'S
ACCESS TO ABORTIONS.
>> THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
SUPREME COURT THEY CAN SEE FOR
THIS COUNTRY IN AT LEAST A
GENERATION.
NOTHING LESS.
AND THE FATE OF OUR HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM, REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS FOR
WOMEN AND OTHER PROTECTIONS FOR
MIDDLE CLASS AMERICANS ARE AT
STAKE.
>> Reporter: BUT INDEED,
REPUBLICANS HAVE ENOUGH VOTES IN
THE SENATE TO ENSURE SPEEDY
CONFIRMATION FOR WHOEVER TRUMP
PUTS FORWARD.
TODAY, THE SAME SENATOR WHO
DERAILED THE BARACK OBAMA
NOMINATION, PLEDGED FULL SPEED
AHEAD WHEN TRUMP NAMES HIS
CHOICE.
>> WE WILL VOTE TO CONFIRM
JUSTICE KENNEDY'S SUCCESSOR THIS
FALL.
>> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT SAID
HE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE
RESIGNATION ONLY THIS MORNING
WHEN HE MET WITH KENNEDY FOR
HALF AN HOUR IN THE OVAL OFFICE.
SAID TRUMP, IT WAS A WONDERFUL
DISCUSSION.
>> Andrew: SO, PAUL, ON THE FACE
OF IT, I MEAN, KENNEDY'S VOTE
WAS ONE OF NINE, WHY WOULD HIS
REPLACEMENT WITH ANOTHER
CONSERVATIVE, ALBEIT ONE FURTHER
TO THE RIGHT, BE SUCH A
GAME-CHANGER?
>> Reporter: IT'S HARD TO
OVERSTATE THE DEGREE TO WHICH
U.S. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
IMPACT LIFE IN THIS COUNTRY.
THE FACT IS, PARTICULARLY ON
CONTENTIOUS MATTERS, ITS
DECISIONS ARE MADE ALONG PARTY
LINES.
SO NOW YOU HAVE FOUR
CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES, FOUR
LIBERALS AND ANTHONY KENNEDY,
CONSERVATIVE WITH LIBERAL
LEANINGS.
LAST YEAR, TRUMP NAMED NEIL
GORSUCH, BUT NEIL GORSUCH WAS A
STAUNCH CONSERVATIVE WHO
REPLACED A STAUNCH CONSERVATIVE,
STATUS QUO.
THIS TIME YOU'LL GET A STAUNCH
CONSERVATIVE REPLACING KENNEDY,
A SWING VOTER, MAKING THE COURT
ITSELF STAUNCHLY CONSERVATIVE.
THAT'S WHY DEMOCRATS ARE SO
WORRIED.
AND CONSIDER THESE THREE WORDS.
RUTH BADER GINSBURG.
SHE COULD BE THE NEXT TO FILL.
IF IT HAPPENS ON TRUMP'S WATCH,
IT COULD BE CONSERVATIVE
POTENTIALLY FOR GENERATIONS.
>> Andrew: ON PAUL'S POINT ABOUT
KENNEDY SOMETIMES GOING LEFT
WHEN HE COULD HAVE EASILY GONE
RIGHT.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW HIS
OPINIONS HAVE SHAPED THE U.S. ON
SOME PRETTY CRITICAL ISSUES.
ON GUN RIGHTS AND OBAMA CARE HE
DID SIDE WITH CONSERVATIVES.
>> THE CASES SWING, I DON'T.
>> Reporter: BUT KENNEDY SIDED
WITH LIBERALS ON AFFIRMATIVE
ACTION, AND STRIKING DOWN THE
DEATH PENALTY FOR JUVENILE
DEFENDERS.
IN 1992, HE VOTED TO REAFFIRM
THE CORE OF ROE v WADE WHICH
GUARANTEES A RIGHT FOR A WOMAN
TO HAVE AN ABORTION.
HE EVOLVED INTO A CHAMPION OF
GAY RIGHTS, OVERTURNING A BAN ON
SAME SEX COUPLES IN 2013 AND
WRITING ANOTHER OPINION IN 2015
THAT LEGALIZED SAME-SEX
MARRIAGE.
THE U.S. PRESIDENT WAS AT A
RALLY TONIGHT.
THE PURPOSE OF THE VISIT WAS TO
CAMPAIGN FOR REPUBLICAN SENATE
HOPEFUL, BUT NOT LONG INTO HIS
SPEECH, TRUMP SHIFTED TO THE
TOPIC OF TRADE WITH CANADA.
>> WE LOVE CANADA.
BUT THEY'RE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF
US, WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN.
WE CAN'T LET IT HAPPEN.
THE ERA OF GLOBAL FREE LOADING
AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE
UNITED STATES IS OVER.
IT'S JUST OVER.
>> Andrew: TOUGH TALK ON TRADE
SEEMS TO BE POPULAR AMONG THE
PRESIDENT'S ORDER AND NORTH
DAKOTA IS A TRUMP FRIENDLY
STATE, BUT THESE DAYS, THEY'RE
IN A TOUGH PLACE.
THAT STATE DOES A LOT OF
BUSINESS WITH THIS COUNTRY.
>>> THIS IS A BIG ISSUE FOR
NORTH DAKOTA, MOST OF OUR
PRODUCTS END UP IN CANADA AND
WE'RE STARTING TO SEE PRICES ON
THE CONSUMER SIDE AND THAT'S
WHEN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GO,
HOLD ON A SECOND.
>> Andrew: TO GIVE YOU A SENSE
OF HOW RELIANT NORTH DAKOTA IS
ON CANADA, 84% OF THE STATE
EXPORTS COME HERE AND HALF OF
THEIR IMPORTS COME FROM HERE.
CANADIAN INDUSTRIES, TOO, ARE IN
LIMBO, WAITING FOR THIS
COUNTRY'S GOVERNMENT TO RELEASE
THE FINAL LIST OF RETALIATORY
TARIFFS.
BUT THERE ARE CONCERNS ABOUT THE
NEGATIVE IMPACT THOSE MIGHT HAVE
AS WELL AND THERE IS LIKELY TO
BE A BITTER NOTE IN THE
COCKTAILS IN THE UPCOMING
CELEBRATION IN OTTAWA.
KATIE SIMPSON HAS MORE.
>> Reporter: THE FOURTH OF JULY
PARTY HOSTED BY THE U.S.
AMBASSADOR TO CANADA IS ONE OF
OTTAWA'S HOTTEST SUMMER EVENTS.
BUT THIS YEAR'S CROWD WILL BE
MISSING AT LEAST ONE
HIGH-PROFILE GUEST.
>> POLITELY DECLINED BECAUSE I'M
NOT HAPPY WITH THE DIRECTION OF
THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND
THEIR CONSTANT ATTACKS ON OUR
COUNTRY.
>> Reporter: OTTAWA'S MAYOR IS
TAKING A STAND, GIVEN THE STATE
OF CANADA-U.S. RELATIONS.
>> SEEING WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH
THESE CONSTANT THREATS TO OUR
STEEL INDUSTRY, ALUMINUM, CAR,
THE DAIRY, AND I'VE SENT MY
REGRETS.
>> Reporter: THE TENSIONS ARE
ALSO FRONT AND CENTRE FOR THE
GOVERNOR OF THE BANK OF CANADA,
STEPHEN POLOZ ANNOUNCED TRADE
ISSUES WILL BE A FACTOR IN THE
DECISION ON INTEREST RATES.
>> WE'RE WORKING TO INCORPORATE
IN OUR PROJECTIONS THE EFFECTS
OF THE ANNOUNCED TARIFFS.
ALONG WITH THE RETALIATORY
MEASURES.
BOTH IN CANADA AND GLOBALLY.
>> Reporter: CANADA IS STILL
FINALIZING THAT LIST OF
RETALIATORY TARIFFS, WHICH KICK
IN ON JULY 1.
ITEMS BUILT WITH AMERICAN STEEL
AND ALUMINUM WILL BE SLAPPED
WITH NEW DUTIES AND PRICES WILL
GO UP FOR CONSUMERS.
THE OPPOSITION IS WORRIED ABOUT
THE RIPPLE EFFECT.
>> THIS GOVERNMENT'S JOB TO
DETERMINE WHAT IS THE NET LOSS
TO CANADIANS VERSUS THE KNELT
NET GAIN OF PUTTING THAT TARIFF
ON AN AMERICAN COMPANY TO
DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE
GREATER GOOD IS BEING SERVED.
YOU CAN'T GUT INDUSTRIES IN
CANADA BECAUSE YOU WANT TO SHOW
FORCE.
>> Reporter: IN THE MIDST OF THE
ANXIETY, THE PRIME MINISTER
TRIED TO DELIVER A MESSAGE OF
CALM WHILE MEETING WITH A GROUP
OF YOUNG BUSINESS LEADERS.
>> WE'RE GOING TO BE PATIENT
WITH THE UNITED STATES, BUT FIRM
THAT WE WILL STAND UP FOR OUR
INTERESTS, WE WILL STAND UP FOR
THE BENEFITS OF TRADE FOR OUR
CITIZENS.
>> Reporter: HOW LONG CANADA'S
PATIENCE WILL LAST REALLY IS THE
BIG QUESTION HERE.
THE LONGER THE TRADE DISPUTE
DRAGS ON WITH THE UNITED STATES,
THE MORE SEVERE THE CONSEQUENCES
WILL BE FOR THE CANADIAN
ECONOMY.
KATIE SIMPSON, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA.
>> Andrew: ON THE EVE OF AN EU
SUMMIT IN CRISIS MODE, THAT
RESCUE SHIP PACKED WITH MIGRANTS
IN THE MEDITERRANEAN HAS FINALLY
DOCKED TONIGHT.
FLOATING IN LIMBO FOR SIX DAYS,
THE LIFELINE WAS GIVEN SAFE
HARBOUR IN MALTA.
>> NOW THEY'RE ARRIVING 233
PEOPLE, AMONG THEM 17 WOMEN AND
5 CHILDREN.
>> Andrew: PRESSURED BY ITALY
WHOSE NEW GOVERNMENT REFUSED THE
SHIP, MALTA ALLOWED IT IN, BUT
ONLY AFTER SEVEN OTHER COUNTRIES
AGREED TO TAKE THEM ON BOARD.
THE PASSENGERS THAT QUALIFY AS
REFUGEES.
>> PROCEDURES FOR
IDENTIFICATION, ELIGIBILITY AND
DISTRIBUTION IN OTHER MEMBER
STATES OF THE PERSONS WILL START
IMMEDIATELY.
TOGETHER, WITH THE GRANTING OF
THE NECESSARY MEDICAL ATTENTION.
>> Andrew: THAT'S JUST ONE
EXAMPLE OF HOW DIVIDED EUROPE IS
OVER THE MIGRANT CRISIS.
SOMETHING THAT WILL CERTAINLY
DOMINATE THE EU SUMMIT, EVEN
ANGELA MERKEL'S GERMANY, THE
COUNTRY THAT LED A CAMPAIGN OF
COMPASSION AMONG ITS NEIGHBOURS,
COULD NOW SEE THE COALITION
GOVERNMENT COLLAPSE OVER THE
ISSUE.
MARGARET EVANS IS THERE.
>> Reporter: WHEN A BAVARIA, YOU
TEND TO KNOW YOU'RE IN BAVARIA.
FROM THE LEDERHOSEN TO THE
LIQUID GOLD KNOWN AS BEER.
THEY PRIDE THEMSELVES NOT ONLY
ON BEING GERMANY'S LARGEST
STATE, BUT DISTINCT.
>> I THINK WE CAN OPEN AND PROUD
OF YOUR HOME AT THE SAME TIME.
>> Reporter: BUT THERE ARE
WORRIES THAT INTOLERANCE IS
FINDING ROOM TO GROW AND NOT
JUST HIDDEN AWAY IN DARK
CORNERS.
THIS IS THE STATE LIBRARY IN
MUNICH.
AS OF JUNE 1, ALL PUBLIC
BUILDINGS IN BAVARIA HAVE BEEN
ORDERED TO DISPLAY THE CROSS, A
DECISION COURTESY OF THE
GOVERNING CHRISTIAN SOCIAL
UNION, CSU PARTY.
>> THEY HAVE TO WORK UNDER
HIGHER POWER AND THEY HAVE TO
FULFILL THE CHRISTIAN WAY OF
LIFE.
>> Reporter: THE MARIENPLATZ,
THE MAIN SQUARE, CELEBRATING THE
VIRGIN MARY AND THE END OF THE
30 YEAR WAR.
BAVARIA IS MAINLY CATHOLIC AND
THE GOVERNMENT DESCRIBED IT AS
PROTECTING BAVARIAN CULTURE.
NOT ATTACKING OTHER RELIGIONS.
CRITICS DISAGREE.
>> ONE OF THE MAIN VALUES OF THE
STATE, SEPARATION OF STATE AND
CHURCH.
>> Reporter: CARLS HAS COLLECTED
MORE THAN 50,000 SIGNATURES
AGAINST THE STATE EDICT.
EVEN THOUGH HE'S GERMAN AND
PROTESTANT CHRISTIAN, HE'S
RECEIVED HATE MAIL.
>> MOST OF ALL CONCERNING MY
NAME AND PEOPLE THINK I AM A
MUSLIM.
>> Reporter: THE MUNICH TRAIN
STATION WAS ONE OF THE MAIN
ARRIVAL POINTS OF HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF MAINLY SYRIAN
REFUGEES MAKING THEIR WAY
THROUGH CENTRAL EUROPE TO
GERMANY BACK IN 2015-16.
GERMANY SET UP CHECKPOINTS ALONG
THE VARIOUS BORDER WITH AUSTRIA
IN THE MIDST OF THE CRISIS.
AND IT STILL MAINTAINS THEM
TODAY EVEN THOUGH IT CONTRAVENES
THE BORDER-FREE ETHOS.
>> PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE
ABLE TO DRIVE FREELY BETWEEN
EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES.
EVEN THOUGH THE NUMBERS OF THOSE
CLAIMING ASYLUM IN GERMANY HAVE
DROPPED DRAMATICALLY, THE DEBATE
OVER IMMIGRATION REMAINS HIGHLY
CHARGED.
>> THERE ARE PROBLEMS, BUT ON
THE OTHER HAND, WE HAVE GERMANY,
WHO PUSHES THIS ISSUE AND MAKES
EVERYTHING UNRELATED TO
IMMIGRATION RELATED TO
IMMIGRATION.
>> Reporter: THE FAR RIGHT AFD
IS MAKING GAINS IN GERMAN
POLITICS AND HAS ITS SIGHTS ON
THE STATE ELECTIONS IN THE FALL.
ANALYSTS AND THE AFD SAY THE CSU
LEADERS ARE WORRIED AND MOVING
FURTHER TO THE RIGHT.
>> THEY COPY US AND THEN TRY TO
SELL IT TO THE PEOPLE AS THEIR
OWN IDEAS.
>> Reporter: AND SO WE COME FULL
CIRCLE, WITH BAVARIA'S LEADERS
ACCUSING ANGELA MERKEL OF
OPENING THE DOOR TO THE FAR
RIGHT WHEN SHE OPENED THE DOOR
TO REFUGEES.
THERE ARE ALSO THE COALITION
PARTNERS TELLING THE GERMAN
CHANCELLOR IF SHE DOESN'T GET
TOUGHER ON IMMIGRATION WITH HER
EU PARTNERS, HER BAVARIAN
PARTNERS WILL REVOLT.
>> Andrew: AS THAT SUMMIT IS SET
TO KICK OFF TOMORROW, MERKEL
NEEDS THE EU UNITED ON ACCEPTING
MIGRANTS, BUT HOW LIKELY IS
THAT?
ITALY HAS BEGUN TURNING AWAY
SHIPS THAT RESCUE MIGRANTS FROM
THE MEDITERRANEAN.
OTHER FRONT LINE COUNTRIES LIKE
GREECE AND SPAIN INSIST THEY
CAN'T BEAR THE BRUNT AND GETTING
OTHER COUNTRIES TO CHIP IN, AN
UPHILL BATTLE.
SWEDEN, THE FAR RIGHT IS GAINING
POPULARITY AFTER A WAVE OF
DEADLY GANG VIOLENCE ATTRIBUTED
TO IMMIGRANTS.
AND EVEN THE TOLERANT PARTIES
ARE STRESSING INTEGRATION OVER
OPEN BORDERS.
HUNGARY MADE IT A CRIMINAL ACT
TO HELP AN UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANT.
IT'S JOINED THE CZECH REPUBLIC,
SLOVENIA IN REJECTING.
WHAT IS MORE, THE 16 LEADERS TO
DID ATTEND, DIDN'T COME UP WITH
A SOLUTION.
THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER STORIES.
INCLUDING A NEW INVESTIGATION
TAKING A CRITICAL EYE TO U.S.
SHELTERS HOUSING MIGRANT
CHILDREN.
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES PLANS
TO FOCUS ON HEALTH AND SAFETY
CONCERNS AT THE SHELTERS AND
WILL LOOK INTO THE
QUALIFICATIONS OF THOSE PEOPLE
IN CHARGE OF CHILDREN'S
WELL-BEING.
IN THE MEANTIME, THE GOVERNMENT
IS ON THE CLOCK.
THE FEDERAL JUDGE ORDERED ALL
FAMILIES WHOSE CHILDREN WERE
SEPARATED AT THE BORDER, TO BE
REUNITED WITHIN 30 DAYS.
>>> HATE CRIMES ARE SERIOUS,
REPUGNANT.
>> U.S. OFFICIALS ANNOUNCED NEW
FEDERAL HATE CRIMES CHARGES
AGAINST JAMES ALEX FIELDS,
JUNIOR, HE'S ACCUSED OF MOWING
DOWN A CROWD OF PEOPLE IN
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA.
ONE WOMAN WAS KILLED AND SEVERAL
OTHER HURT.
FIELDS COULD FACE THE DEATH
PENALTY IF FOUND GUILTY.
>>> WE'RE GETTING NEW INSIGHT
INTO A ACCUSED ONTARIO SERIAL
KILLER BRUCE McARTHUR.
TODAY, A JUDGE UNSEALED A
PSYCHIATRIC REPORT FROM 2003.
AT THE TIME, BRUCE McARTHUR HAD
JUST PLEADED GUILTY TO ATTACKING
A PLAN WITH A METAL PIPE.
IT WAS BRUCE McARTHUR'S LAWYER
THAT REQUESTED THE ASSESSMENT
AND IT CONCLUDED HE SHOWED NO
SIGNS OF MENTAL HEALTH DISORDER
AND AT THE TIME, THE RISK OF
VIOLENCE WAS MINIMAL.
IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS HAS BEEN
LEADING THE COVERAGE ON THE
STORY.
YOU'VE BEEN ON THIS SINCE THE
END OF JANUARY, WHAT ELSE STUCK
OUT FOR YOU?
>> Reporter: THE REPORT PROVIDED
INSIGHT INTO BRUCE McARTHUR'S
PAST AND HIS CHILDHOOD, HE
ALWAYS FELT HE WASN'T GETTING
THE APPROVAL OF HIS FATHER AND
THAT WAS SOMETHING HE SOUGHT.
IT TALKED ABOUT HIS DIFFICULTIES
EMBRACING HIS OWN HOMOSEXUALITY.
THE REPORT ALSO FOUND WHILE HE
DIDN'T SUFFER ANY SIGNS OF MAJOR
MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS, IT DID
FIND THAT HE HAD AN EXAGGERATED
SENSE OF NEEDING TO PLEASE, AND
BE VERY, VERY AFRAID AND
DREADING, THOSE ARE THE WORDS
USED IN THE REPORT, OF FACING
THE WRATH OF AUTHORITIES IN
PARTICULAR.
>> Andrew: WHAT IS NEXT THEN
WITH THIS INVESTIGATION?
>> POLICE HAVE JUST WRAPPED UP
LOOKING AT 100 PROPERTIES, THESE
WERE CLIENTS OF BRUCE McARTHUR'S
LANDSCAPING BUSINESS AND
CONCLUDED THEY HAVEN'T FOUND
ANYTHING.
THE PLAN IS TO GO BACK TO GROUND
ZERO.
THAT'S THE RESIDENCE WHERE THE
POLICE SEIZED THE PLANTERS THAT
HAD THE REMAINS OF THE ALLEGED
VICTIMS.
POLICE DOGS WERE THERE LAST
MONTH AND THE PLAN IS TO GO BACK
SOON AND START DIGGING.
>> Andrew: MONEY FROM ORGANIZED
CRIME IS BEING LAUNDERED THROUGH
BRITISH COLUMBIA CASINOS.
THAT'S THE CONCLUSION OF A
SCATHING INVESTIGATION PUBLISHED
TODAY.
AND DESPITE PROMISES OF CHANGE,
THE ISSUE HAS BEEN LARGELY
IGNORED FOR YEARS, BUT CLAMPING
DOWN MIGHT MEAN THE PROBLEMS GO
ELSEWHERE.
>> IT'S NOT DOUGHNUTS IN THE
BAGS, IT'S CASH.
CASUALLY DUMPED ON THE COUNTER
AT A B.C. CASINO.
THIS SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE WAS
RELEASED TODAY TO MAKE A POINT.
>> NOBODY SAID NO TO TAKING THIS
MONEY.
THAT IS INEXCUSABLE.
>> Reporter: B.C. ATTORNEY
GENERAL DAVID EBY CALLS IT A
COLLECTIVE FAILURE BLAMING THE
PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT.
$100 MILLION WAS LAUNDERED
THROUGH THE CASINOS.
THE AUTHOR OF THE STUDY, A
FORMER RCMP OFFICER AND LAWYER,
FOUND B.C. LAGS OTHER
JURISDICTIONS SUCH AS LAS VEGAS,
WHERE OFFICIALS TOLD THEM BIG
PILES OF CASH ARE A NO-GO.
>> SAID IF SOMEONE CAME INTO A
TELLER CAGE AT A CASINO IN LAS
VEGAS WITH A BOX FULL OF $20
BILLS, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?
AND HE SAID, WELL THAT WOULDN'T
OCCUR.
>> Reporter: AMONG THE 48
RECOMMENDATIONS, CREATE A NEW
GAMING POLICE FORCE, HAVE
CASINOS STOP TAKING LARGE SUMS
OF QUESTIONABLE CASH, AND FUND A
NEW MORE POWERFUL REGULATOR, BUT
WHERE WILL CRIMINALS GO NEXT?
>> YOU'RE LOOKING AT ANY SECTOR
OF THE ECONOMY, BE IT REAL
ESTATE, HIGH END LUXURY GOODS,
WHERE PEOPLE CAN PURCHASE WITH
CASH.
>> Reporter: TO GET AHEAD OF THE
PROBLEM, THEY INVESTIGATE LUXURY
CARS AND REAL ESTATE, LONG
OVERDUE SAYS THIS MONEY
LAUNDERING EXPERT.
>> THAT'S RIGHT LEAST COMPLIANT
WITH LAW IN B.C., WAY MORE THAN
THE CASINO SECTOR.
>> Reporter: AND STAKES ARE FAR
HIGHER WITH BILLIONS IN ANNUAL
PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS.
>> I THINK WHEN YOU HIT THE
HOUSING SECTOR, IT'S GOING TO BE
A MUCH MORE INTENSE I HAVE
REPORT, BUT ALSO MORE DIFFICULT
BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO DETECT WHO
IS BEHIND THE HOMES AND HOW YOU
TIE INTO ORGANIZED CRIME.
>> IT'S A BIG ISSUE, SHE SAYS
FOR ALL OF CANADA, WITH
CRIMINALS CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR
WAYS TO LAUNDER THEIR CASH OUT
OF SIGHT.
GREG RASMUSSEN, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Andrew: A BIT MORE BACKGROUND
ON THIS.
THE PROBLEMS IN B.C. CASINOS
WERE FIRST UNVEILED BY ONE OF
OUR OWN REPORTERS IN 2008.
AND HIS INVESTIGATIVE TEAM WENT
UNDER COVER WITH STACKS OF CASH
TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.
>> THAT'S IT.
CONGRATULATIONS.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Andrew: ALMOST EVERY TIME,
CASINO TELLERS CASHED OUT PRIZE
CHEQUES FOR LARGE SUMS OF MONEY
WITHOUT QUESTION.
IN ONE CASE, NEARLY $10,000.
AND AS GREG SAID, MOST OF THAT
LAUNDERED MONEY COMES FROM THE
ILLICIT DRUG TRADE, MOSTLY
OPIOIDS.
WE DIG DEEPER INTO THAT STORY
WITH THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE
SHOCKING NUMBER OF ADDICTIVE
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS THAT GO
MISSING AND ARE STOLEN FROM
CANADIAN PHARMACIES.
AND WHERE THEY'RE LIKELY TO END
UP.
A CONTROVERSIAL STAGE SHOW BY A
PRESTIGE CANADIAN DIRECTOR OPENS
TO CHEERS AND JEERS.
SHOULD WHITE PEOPLE TELL STORIES
OF BLACK SLAVERY?
>>> AND GETTING OLD CAN BE
DIFFICULT, BUT FOR LGBTQ SENIORS
WHY GOING INTO CARE COULD MEAN
GOING BACK INTO THE CLOSET.
>> WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT THE CARE
WE'RE GOING TO GET.
WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT BEING
TREATED BADLY.
WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT ACTUAL
PHYSICAL HARM HAPPENING TO US,
NOT ONLY FROM STAFF, BUT FROM
>> Andrew: YOU COULD SAY ROBERT
LEPAGE, THE FAMOUS THEATRE
ARTIST IS ON A ROLL.
HIS TAKE ON SHAKESPEARE HAS BEEN
DEEMED ANOTHER MASTERPIECE.
WE GAVE YOU A TASTE OF FRAME BY
FRAME, HIS COLLABORATION WITH
THE NATIONAL BALLET.
BUT IN MONTREAL, HIS LATEST
PRESENTATION IS UNDER ATTACK.
>> CANCEL THE SHOW!
CANCEL THE SHOW!
>> Andrew: HE IS ACCUSED BY SOME
OF CULTURAL APPROPRIATION.
JAELA BERNSTIEN BREAKS DOWN THE
CONTROVERSY.

>> Reporter: THE MONTREAL
INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL
DESCRIBES SLAV AS A JOURNEY FROM
SLAVERY TO SEGREGATION TO MASS
INCARCERATION.
THESE DEMONSTRATORS SAY THAT
STORY IS NOT FOR WHITE PEOPLE TO
TELL.

>> Reporter: THE SHOW DRAWS
INSPIRATION FROM TRADITIONAL
AFRICAN-AMERICAN SLAVE SONGS,
OUT OF THE PEOPLE ON STAGE, TWO
ARE BLACK.
BETTY BONIFASSI IS WHITE AND SO
IS LEPAGE.
>> TO ME, TO SEE WHITE PEOPLE
PLAYING SLAVES, THAT WAS TOO
MUCH.
>> Reporter: WEBSTER OFTEN
ADDRESSES THE HISTORY OF SLAVERY
IN HIS MUSIC.
HE SAW AN EARLY VERSION OF SLAV
AND WHILE IT WAS WELL DONE, THE
INGREDIENTS WERE ALL WRONG.
>> YOU COULD HAVE BLACK SINGERS,
DISCOVERED NEW ARTISTS.
THAT WAS A NICE WAY TO INTRODUCE
NEW PEOPLE TO THE REALM OF
MEDIAS AND CULTURE HERE IN
QUÉBEC.
AND WE MISSED IT.
>> Reporter: BETTY BONIFASSI AND
LEPAGE ARE DEFENDING THE ART,
URGING PEOPLE TO SEE THE SHOW
BEFORE THEY JUDGE.
THEY ADD FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW,
WHETHER BLACK OR WHITE, WE HAVE
A RESPONSIBILITY TO LOOK AT THE
DARKEST PART OF OUR HISTORY AND
FIND LIGHT IN THEM.
SLAV HAS SOLD OUT THE FIRST FIVE
SHOWS.
THE JAZZ FEST SAYS ITS NAME IS
SYNONYMOUS WITH THE GLOBAL
VILLAGE, WITHOUT GENDER, RACE OR
RELIGION AND THIS YEAR IS NO
EXCEPTION.
JAELA BERNSTIEN, CBC NEWS,
MONTREAL.
>> Andrew: NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL", INVESTIGATION INTO
THE STAGGERING NUMBER OF MISSING
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS IN THIS
COUNTRY.
MORE THAN HALF A MILLION
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS ARE STOLEN
EACH YEAR.
>> SOMEONE SAYING WE NEED THE
NARCOTICS, WE SAY, DON'T EVEN
ARGUE, GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT.
THERE IS NO REASON TO LOSE YOUR
LIFE OVER THIS ISSUE.
>> Andrew: WHERE DO THEY END
YOUNG NATIVE MAN'S LIFE IN THIS
COUNTRY.
>> Andrew: ANGER FROM AN
INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY LEADER IN
ONTARIO.
IT COMES AFTER PETER KHILL WAS
FOUND NOT GUILTY OF MURDERING A
FIRST NATIONS MAN TRYING TO
STEAL HIS TRUCK.
HE PREVIOUSLY ADMITTED HE FIRED
TWO CLOSE RANGE SHOTS AT JON
STYRES IN 2016, BUT ARGUED IT
WAS IN SELF-DEFENCE.
>> I WAS ALONE, MY INFANT
DAUGHTER IN THE HOUSE AND I AM
THAT LAST LINE OF DEFENCE
BETWEEN THESE CRIMINALS AND MY
DAUGHTER.
NOW YOU'RE GOING BACK TO THAT
EVERY NOISE IN THE DARK, YOU'RE
NOT SURE ABOUT.
>> Andrew: AN ALBERTA HOMEOWNER
HAS SPOKEN FOR THE FIRST TIME
SINCE CHARGES OF AGGRAVATED
ASSAULT AGAINST HIM WERE
DROPPED.
HE FIRED A WARNING SHOT AT THE
GROUND WHEN HE SPOTTED TWO
ALLEGED TRESPASSERS ON HIS
PROPERTY BACK IN FEBRUARY.
HIS WIFE SAID CHARGES SHOULD
NEVER HAVE BEEN LAID.
>> LOOK AT THE BRUTAL FORCE THE
POLICE OFFICERS ARE USING ON A
CIVILIAN AS THEY TASER THIS MAN.
>> Andrew: THIS MAN DIED IN
BARRIE LAST WEEK.
THE 32-YEAR-OLD WAS TAKEN TO A
POLICE STATION WHERE HE WENT
INTO MEDICAL DISTRESS.
HIS IDENTITY HAS NOT BEEN
RELEASED NOR THE REASON FOR HIS
ARREST.
>> MILLIONS OF ADDICTIVE DRUGS
ARE MISSING FROM CANADIAN
PHARMACIES.
A CBC INVESTIGATION IS SHEDDING
LIGHT ON THE NUMBER OF NARCOTICS
THAT ARE REPORTED LOST OR STOLEN
BY PHARMACIES RIGHT ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
THE NUMBERS ARE GOING UP.
AND SOME OF THOSE DRUGS ARE
WINDING UP ON THE STREET, WHERE
THE DEMAND FOR
PHARMACEUTICAL-GRADE OPIOIDS IS
RELENTLESS.
HERE'S VIK ADHOPIA WITH WHAT WE
UNCOVERED.
>> COMING THROUGH.
>> Reporter: TRY PINNING DOWN
DANA MacINNIS FOR AN INTERVIEW
AND THIS HAPPENS.
>> I'M HOOKING IT UP.
>> Reporter: A MAN LYING ON THE
SIDEWALK, DANA MacINNIS WAS
PREPARED.
>> I THINK HE NEEDS A BREATHING
TUBE.
>> Reporter: THE MAN IS
BREATHING AGAIN, NOW FOR THE
PARAMEDICS.
>> A GENTLEMAN HAS OVERDOSED ON
DRUGS.
>> Reporter: WITHIN MINUTES,
MORE HELP ARRIVES.
THIS HAPPENS A FEW TIMES A DAY
OUTSIDE IN DRUG INJECTION SITE
IN VANCOUVER, RUN BY VOLUNTEERS
LIKE DANA MacINNIS, WHO SHOWS
THAT TREATING OVERDOSES IN THE
DOWNTOWN EASTSIDE.
>> ONE PERSON MONITORS THE
OXYGEN, ONE PERSON MONITORS AND
THE OTHER PERSON PHONESES 911.
WE WORK AS A TEAM.
IT WENT WELL.
>> Reporter: HE HAS SAVED
NUMEROUS LIVES AND HIS LIFE HAS
ALSO BEEN SAVED, THAT'S BECAUSE
HE'S ADDICTED TO OPIOIDS.
IT BEGAN AS AN INJURY WITH
PRESCRIPTION FOR PAINKILLERS.
WHEN THOSE RAN OUT, HE TURNED TO
THE STREET.
>> YOU TELL YOURSELF, THIS IS
THE LAST TIME WE'LL DO THIS.
A COUPLE OF WEEKENDS, YOU COME
DOWN AGAIN AND MAYBE YOU BUY
TWO.
>> Reporter: AND TWO BECAME
THREE, AND NOW IT'S BEEN YEARS
OF ADDICTION.
A FORMER STAGE ACTOR AND
CARPENTER, HE LOST IT THE ALL,
BUT GAINED AN APPRECIATION FOR
THE HIGH STREET VALUE OF
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.
>> RECENTLY LOOKING FOR DEMEROL,
BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS
GOING TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE AND
HARD TO FIND.
SO THAT I TRIED WHAT THEY CALLED
DOWN.
WHICH COULD BE ANY NUMBER OF
OPIATES MIXED WITH
BENZODIAZEPINES, YEAH THERE ARE
NUMBER OF THING THAT DOWN CAN
BE.
YOU'RE NEVER QUITE SURE WHAT
YOU'RE GETTING.
>> Reporter: THE ONLY WAY TO BE
SURE IS FINDING PRESCRIPTION
DRUGS AND A LOT OF THEM WIND UP
FOR SALE ON THE STREET.
ACCORDING TO DATA WE OBTAINED
FROM HEALTH CANADA, IN 2012,
JUST OVER A MILLION DOSES OF
NARCOTICS WERE REPORTED MISSING
FROM PHARMACIES.
THOSE LOSSES HAVE ALMOST
DOUBLED.
ADDING UP TO 8 MILLION DOSES
OVER SIX YEARS.
ABOUT 800 PILLS LOST OR STOLEN
FROM EVERY PHARMACY IN CANADA.
AND THE DRUGS ARE OVERWHELMINGLY
OPIOIDS, CODEINE, METHADONE AND
MORPHINE, 9% OF THE DRUGS WERE
LOST IN TRANSIT, SPILLED OR
DAMAGED.
11% PILFERED BY PHARMACY STAFF
OR OTHER SUPPLY CHAIN EMPLOYEES.
ALMOST HALF WERE STOLEN IN
ROBBERIES.
BUT THERE IS NO EXPLANATION
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REST,
ABOUT A THIRD.
THAT MEANS HEALTH CANADA DOESN'T
KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO NEARLY 3
MILLION PILLS.
IN ONTARIO, ROBBERIES ARE ON THE
RISE.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
PHARMACISTS DEAL WITH ON ALMOST
A DAILY BASIS.
>> Reporter: THIS PHARMACIST HAS
BEEN ROBBED TWICE, FADY FARES,
ALSO WORKS FOR A COMPANY THAT
HELPS OTHER INDEPENDENT
PHARMACISTS IN ONTARIO TO ENSURE
THEY'RE IN LINE WITH HEALTH
CANADA'S RULES FOR KEEPING TABS
ON NARCOTICS.
IT'S SUPPOSED TO HOLD
PHARMACISTS ACCOUNTABLE FOR
LOSSES, BUT IT CAN'T PREVENT
THEM ALL.
>> YOU'RE BEHIND A COUNTER,
SOMEONE HOLDING A GUN SAYING I
NEED THE NARCOTICS, WE SAY DON'T
EVEN ARGUE.
>> Reporter: HEALTH CANADA HAS
TRIED TO PLUG THE HOLES OTT
PHARMACIES EVER SINCE IT BEGAN
INSPECTING THEM TO ENSURE LOST
OR STOLEN DRUGS ARE REPORTED.
SOME STAFF IS BUSTED.
FADY FARES SAYS INTERNAL THEFTS
ARE HARD TO GET AWAY WITH.
>> IT'S NOT A COMMON THING FOR A
PHARMACIST TO GO TO THE SHELF
AND GRAB PILLS.
IT DOESN'T WORK THIS WAY.
THEY'RE TRACKED FROM THE MOMENT
THEY LEAVE THE WHOLESALER.
>> Reporter: STILL, STEALING
FROM BEHIND THE COUNTER HAPPENS.
>> SOMETIMES AS FIRST RESPONDERS
WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WE'RE
COMING ACROSS AND OXYCODONE HIT
THE MARKET.
THESE ARE RATES OF OPOID DEATHS.
>> Reporter: THESE ONTARIO
PROVINCIAL POLICE OFFICERS GET
THE LATE OENS THE ILLEGAL TRADE
OF DRUGS.

EXPERT ON THE SUBJECT.
>> WE GET FENTANYL, WE'RE
GETTING MORE OF IT IN A POWDER
FORM.
>> Reporter: THE O.P.P.
CONTINUES TO SEIZE LOTS OF
PRESCRIPTION OPIOIDS DESPITE
TIGHTER CONTROLS ON DISPENSING.
THE NUMBERS WE OBTAINED FROM
HEALTH CANADA DON'T TELL THE
WHOLE STORY.
>> REPORT NUMBERS ARE ALWAYS
GOING TO BE LOWER THAN WHAT IS
OCCURRING IN THE COMMUNITIES, SO
I'D SAY THE NUMBER IS LOWER THAN
WHAT WE'RE SEEING DIVERTED OUT.
>> Reporter: AUGER WAS AN EXPERT
WITNESS IN THE CRIMINAL TRIAL OF
THIS PHARMACIST, HE WAS
SENTENCED TO TEN YEARS IN PRISON
FOR TRAFFICKING, A MILLION
DOLLARS WORTH.
THEN THERE WAS THE CASE OF THIS
OTTAWA PHARMACY AND THE FAKED
ROBBERY TO COVER UP A DRUG
TRAFFICKING PHARMACIST.
EVEN THOUGH IT'S UNUSUAL FOR A
PHARMACIST TO BE CHARGED
CRIMINALLY FOR STEALING DRUGS,
ACCORDING TO FIGURES WE OBTAINED
FROM PROVINCIAL COLLEGES OF
PHARMACISTS, ABOUT 90
PHARMACISTS HAVE BEEN
DISCIPLINED IN CANADA FOR THE
WAY THEY HANDLED NARCOTICS OVER
THE LAST SIX YEARS.
MOST COMMON REASON.
FAILING TO SECURE NARCOTICS.
DISPENSING DRUGS WITHOUT A
PROPER PRESCRIPTION, STEALING
AND TRAFFICKING.
THEN THERE ARE THE UNKNOWN
NUMBER OF PHARMACISTS WHOSE
DISCIPLINARY HEARINGS ARE KEPT
SECRET BY THE COLLEGES, THEIR
IDENTITIES PROTECTED DUE TO
ADDICTION OR MENTAL HEALTH
PROBLEMS.
THERE ARE ALSO OTHER WAYS
PRESCRIPTIONS END UP ON THE
STREET, THEFT FROM PATIENTS OR
PATIENTS WHO SELL THEIR
PAINKILLERS AND OLD MEDICATION
GIVEN BACK TO PHARMACIES.
IN THE PAST FOUR YEARS, TWO
PHARMACISTS IN CANADA STOLE
OPIOIDS RETURNED BY PATIENTS AND
OVERDOSED.
ONE DIED.
>> Reporter: THE IDEA OF YOU
HANDING IT OVER TO SOMEBODY,
YOU'RE OF THE GOOD FAITH THAT
PERSON IS GOING TO PUT BACK INTO
DISPENSING AND MAKE SURE IT'S
DISPOSED OF PROPERLY, AND HE
PLACES IT IN THE POCKET, BECAUSE
NO ONE HAS ACCOUNTED FOR THAT.
>> Reporter: HEALTH CANADA
WOULDN'T DO AN INTERVIEW WITH
US.
IN A STATEMENT, THEY
ACKNOWLEDGED A SIGNIFICANT
INCREASE OF REPORTS OF LOSS AND
THEFT AT PHARMACIES, WHICH THEY
SAY IS THE RESULT OF NEW
OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT WITH THE
INDUSTRY.
>> THOSE NUMBERS WITH THE NUMBER
OF UNITS IS STARK.
>> Reporter: MINA TADROUS IS A
PHARMACIST.
OUR DATA ON MISSING DRUGS
SURPRISED HIM, BUT CONSIDERING
THERE ARE MORE THAN 20 MILLION
PRESCRIPTIONS WRITTEN EVERY YEAR
FOR OPIOIDS, HE SAYS LOST OR
STOLEN DRUGS ARE HARD TO AVOID.
>> I THINK THEY'RE A BY-PRODUCT
OF THE OPOID CRISIS.
WHAT I MEAN IS THAT THE SPIKES
THAT ARE INCREASING, EVERY TIME
YOU TIGHTEN REGULATIONS, THE
DEMAND FORT DRUGS DOESN'T
DISAPPEAR.
>> Reporter: AND NOWHERE IS THAT
TRUER THAN B.C. WHERE FEWER
PRESCRIPTIONS ARE BEING WRITTEN
FOR OPIOIDS AND ALT-LEFTS ARE
DOWN, BUT -- THEFTS ARE DOWN.
>> SORRY, I GOT TO COME UP
FRONT.
VIK ADHOPIA, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Andrew: NARCOTICS GO MISSING
FROM PHARMACIES AT DIFFERENT
RATES IN DIFFERENT PROVINCES.
IN QUÉBEC, FOR EVERY TEN PEOPLE,
TWO DOZES OF OPIOIDS REPORT LOST
AND FOR EVERY 10 BRITISH
COLUMBIANS, IT WAS THREE DOSES.
BUT IN NEWFOUNDLAND AND
LABRADOR, EIGHT DOSES WERE LOST
FOR EVERY TEN PEOPLE THERE.
THAT'S THE HIGHEST RATE IN THE
COUNTRY.
IN GENERAL, THERE HAS BEEN
PRESSURE TO CUT DOWN ON
PRESCRIBING OPIOIDS AND ALSO TO
PLUG THE HOLES AT THOSE LEAKY
PHARMACYINGS, BUT THAT, TOO, HAS
DANGERS, BECAUSE AS BRITISH
COLUMBIA DISCOVERED IT CAN FORCE
ADDICTS TO TAKE A CHANCE ON
RISKY STREET DRUGS.
TOMORROW, WE'LL FOCUS ON THE
TOLL THAT IS TAKING.
>> IT'S LIKE LEAKS IN THE GRAND
CANYON, WE'RE PUTTING BUBBLE GUM
IN THE HOLES AND HOPING IT
HOLDS.
NOTHING IS CHANGING.
I THINK THAT EVEN WITH ALL THE
THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING, THERE
IS NOT A LOT THAT IS CHANGING.
>> Andrew: STILL AHEAD TONIGHT,
WE WILL INTRODUCE TO YOU THREE
LGBTQ SENIORS WHO SAY THEY'RE
WORRIED ABOUT HAVING TO CHOOSE
BETWEEN BEING HONEST ABOUT
THEMSELVES AND GETTING GOOD CARE
AS THEY GET OLDER.
>> MEANS YOU WORRY THAT PEOPLE
MIGHT TREAT YOU DIFFERENTLY
BECAUSE YOU'RE GAY?
>> I DO.
AND I THINK IT WOULD BE
UNJUSTIFIED.
>> WHAT IS THE WORRY?
>> ISOLATION.
>> Andrew: LGBTQ PEOPLE HAVE
FOUGHT LONG AND HARD FOR
EQUALITY IN THIS COUNTRY.
IT'S BEEN ALMOST 50 YEARS SINCE
THE FIRST GAY RIGHTS PROTEST
TOOK PLACE IN OTTAWA AND
VANCOUVER.
JUST OVER 20 YEARS SINCE SEXUAL
ORIENTATION WAS ADDED TO THE
CANADIAN HUMAN RIGHTS ACT.
AND 13 YEARS AGO, SAME-SEX
COUPLES WON THE RIGHT TO GET
MARRIED IN THIS COUNTRY.
BUT THE GAINS THAT LGBTQ
CANADIANS HAVE MADE WHILE HARD
WON, DON'T LAST FOR EVERYONE.
AND MANY WORRY AS THEY GET
OLDER, THEY'RE LOSING GROUND.
WE MET UP WITH THREE SENIORS WHO
FEAR IN ORDER TO GET THE CARE
THEY NEED, THEY MAY HAVE TO HIDE
THEIR PRIDE.
>> MY NAME IS DAVID.
WHO AM I?
I'M ON OLDER GAY MAN.
I'M HAVING A HARD TIME I GUESS
MAKING THAT TRANSITION FROM
BEING YOUNG, TO BEING OLD.
WHEN I'M DREAMING, I'M YOUNG.
IN MY DREAMS, I'M YOUNG.
>> Reporter: WHEN YOU LOOK IN
THE MIRROR, WHAT DO YOU SEE?
>> I SEE AN OLD MAN.
I SEE SOMEBODY THAT I DIDN'T
WANT TO BECOME.
I'M NOT AFRAID OF DYING.
WHAT I'M AFRAID IS THE TIME FROM
NOW UNTIL THE TIME I DO DIE.
AND THE WAY I SEE IT RIGHT NOW,
I'M GOING INTO A SENIORS' HOME,
IT'S -- IT'S NOT GOING TO BE
EASY AND IT'S -- IT'S NOT GOING
TO BE ANY FUN.
>> Reporter: YOU WORRY THAT
PEOPLE MIGHT TREAT YOU DIFFERENT
BECAUSE YOU'RE GAY?
>> I DO.
AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE
UNJUSTIFIED.
>> Reporter: WHAT IS THE WORRY?
>> ISOLATION.
THAT THEY WON'T ACCEPT ME.
>> Reporter: IMAGINE FEELING
THAT AT THE END OF YOUR LIFE.
NOW ONE OF THE PROBLEMS AND
SENIORS WILL TELL YOU THIS, YOU
BECOME MORE AND MORE INVISIBLE
AS YOU AGE.
THAT'S WHY LESLIE LEE CAM DOES
WHATEVER SHE CAN DO TO BE SEEN.
>> I'M A PROUD QUEER DIKE.
AS YOU CAN SEE, I WEAR MY
T-SHIRT PROUDLY AND THIS IS MY
BUDDY LILLY, WHO GOES EVERYWHERE
WITH ME.
ESPECIALLY, I WANT TO SHOW YOU
ON THE DANCE FLOOR.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Reporter: LESLIE IS A
YOUTHFUL 64.
ONE OF THE THINGS LILLY HER CANE
DOES FOR HER IS REMIND LESLIE OF
THE TIME SHE SPENT IN A REHAB
HOSPITAL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
>> THIS ONE NURSE CAME IN AND
SAID, LOOK AT YOU, YOU'RE A
MESS, IT'S BAD ENOUGH YOU'RE ONE
OF THOSE AND NOW I HAVE TO COME
AND CLEAN YOU UP.
AND IT WAS HUMILIATING BECAUSE I
HAD NO CONTROL AND I HAD TO
TOTALLY DEPEND ON HER.
AND FOR THE WHOLE TIME SHE WAS
CLEANING ME, SHE KEPT MAKING
HOMOPHOBIC REMARKS.
KEPT SAYING, NOW YOU KNOW, YOU
DON'T HAVE A HUSBAND, YOU DON'T
HAVE CHILDREN, WHERE DO YOU
THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GO IN
LIFE?
IT'S BRINGING TEARS TO MY EYES
JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.
GOOD HEALTH CARE, IT SHOULDN'T
MATTER WHO I AM, WHAT MY SEXUAL
ORIENTATION IS, THAT SHOULDN'T
MATTER.
>> Reporter: LISTENING TO
LESLIE, I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER
WHY SENIORS AREN'T PROTESTING?
SHE SAID IT WASN'T UNTIL 1969 IT
WASN'T EVEN LEGAL TO BE GAY IN
THIS COUNTRY.
IF YOU'RE 70 YEARS OLD TODAY,
MANY REMEMBER THAT.
>> MANY OF US ARE AFRAID BECAUSE
WE'VE BEEN STIGMATIZED FOR SO
MANY YEARS.
THIS AGE, THOSE OF US 55 AND 60
PLUS ARE STILL AFRAID TO SPEAK
OUT.
WE ARE PEOPLE JUST LIKE
EVERYBODY ELSE, BUT WE'VE LED
SUCH STRESSFUL LIVES AND SOME OF
US STILL DO.
WE DON'T HAVE THE SUPPORT
SYSTEMS THAT STRAIGHT SENIORS
HAVE IN PLACE.
AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING BACK
INTO THE CLOSET.
>> Reporter: AFTER STRUGGLING TO
COME OUT, LGBTQ SENIORS GET TO
THE END OF THEIR LIVES AND FACE
A HORRIBLE CHOICE.
>> WE'RE HAVING TO DECIDE
WHETHER WE WANT TO COME OUT AND
BE OUR WHOLE SELVES OR WE WANT
TO GET GOOD HEALTH CARE.
>> Reporter: WOULD YOU EVER GO
BACK INTO THE CLOSET?
>> NEVER, NEVER.
NOPE.
THERE IS GOING TO BE A FIGHT TO
THE END.
>> Reporter: BUT HERE'S THE
THING.
LESLIE IS NOT FIGHTING BY
HERSELF.
>> OVER THE YEARS, MANY PEOPLE
IN OUR LGBTQ COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN
WOUNDED, AND WOUNDED BECAUSE
THEY'VE BEEN DISCRIMINATED
AGAINST.
>> Reporter: THAT'S BRIAN, HE'S
69, RETIRED AND HIS PASSION
TODAY IS TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF
THE DISCRIMINATION THAT LGBTQ
SENIORS FACE GOING INTO CARE.
EVERYONE IN THE SEMINAR EITHER
WORKS OR VOLUNTEERS WITH
SENIORS.
>> THEY MIGHT FEEL THREATENED TO
COME HERE AND BE PART OF THINGS.
OR THEY MIGHT HIDE.
>> Reporter: THE REASON BRIAN
DOES THIS IS DEEPLY PERSONAL.
IT STARTS BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL
WHEN HE WAS LEFT ALONE TO EAT IN
THE CAFETERIA EVERY DAY.
>> NOBODY LOOKED AT ME, NOT EVEN
THE TEACHERS, IT'S LIKE I DIDN'T
EXIST.
WHAT IF THE SAME THING HAPPENED
IN A RESIDENCE?
WHAT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T WELCOME ME
AT THEIR TABLE?
WHAT IF I WAS THE ONE WHO SAT
ALONE AT A TABLE IN THE CORNER
OF THE ROOM AT 79?
SO, THAT HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I
WAS A TEENAGER, BUT I SURE DON'T
WANT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN I'M
A SENIOR.
AND IN CARE.
>> Reporter: IN THE SEMINAR TO
HELP WORKERS UNDERSTAND THAT
FEAR, BRIAN USES AN ANECDOTE
THAT HAPPENED JUST A FEW MONTHS
AGO.
>> I HAD SOME FRIENDS WHO WERE
AN ELDERLY GAY COUPLE, AROUND 80
YEARS OLD AND EVENTUALLY ONE OF
THEM BECAME ILL AND HAD TO BE
PLACED IN A LONG-TERM CARE
FACILITY.
ONE OF THE THINGS THEY ASKED ME,
YOU KNOW, COULD YOU STAND IN THE
DOORWAY?
AND IF A PERSON SERVICE WORKER
OR NURSE WOULD GO BY, SIGNAL US.
BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO BE SEEN
HOLDING HANDS, OR EMBRACING, YOU
KNOW, ON THE BED.
BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID IF THE
NURSES CAUGHT THEM DOING THAT,
THEY WOULD DISCRIMINATE AGAINST
THEM.
PEOPLE SOMETIMES SAY TO US, OK,
SO WHAT DO YOU GAYS WANT?
AND WHAT WE WANT IS TO BE
TREATED WITH THE SAME DIGNITY
AND RESPECT AND KINDNESS THAT IS
ACCORDED TO EVERYBODY ELSE.
NOTHING MORE THAN THAT, BUT
NOTHING LESS.
SO THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Reporter: BRIAN'S HOPE IS
SIMPLE.
THAT LGBTQ SENIORS COULD BE
WHOEVER THEY WANT TO BE WHEN
THEY GO INTO LONG-TERM CARE.
>> WOULD YOU EVER GO BACK INTO
THE CLOSET?
>> NO.
I JUST BE WHO I AM.
I'M NOT FLAMBOYANT.
I'M NOT ONE THAT -- I DON'T
THINK I'M ONE THAT YOU CAN PICK
OUT ON THE STREET AND SAY, HE'S
A FAG.
YOU KNOW, I JUST FEEL NORMAL.
I'M GAY.
>> Reporter: THE SENIORS WHO ARE
FACING WHAT DAVID ARE UP AGAINST
ARE THE SAME SENIORS WHO FOUGHT
FOR GAY RIGHTS FOR ALL
GENERATIONS.
IT SEEMS ONLY FAIR THEY SHOULD
LIVE HOW THEY WANT IN THEIR
FINAL YEARS.
NICK PURDON, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Andrew: SO THIS ISSUE MAY
ONLY GET BIGGER AS MORE BABY
BOOMERS REACH RETIREMENT AGE.
WITHIN THE NEXT 20 YEARS, PEOPLE
65 AND OLDER COULD MAKE UP TO A
QUARTER OF CANADA'S POPULATION.
BECAUSE PEOPLE IN THAT AGE GROUP
ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO CHRONIC
ILLNESSES, IT WILL PUT A STRESS
ON AN ALREADY STRESSED HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM.
>>> NOT A GREAT DAY FOR SOCCER
FANS IN GERMANY.
FOUR YEARS AFTER WINNING THE
WHOLE THING, OUSTED IN THE FIRST
ROUND.
THAT SHOCKING RESULT IS THE
"MOMENT OF THE DAY" AFTER THE
BREAK.
AND REMEMBER, YOU CAN GET A
LITTLE BIT OF "THE NATIONAL" IN
THE INBOX EARLIER IN THE DAY.
EVERY WEEKDAY, THE NATIONAL
TODAY GOES DEEP ON NOTABLE
STORIES AND EXPLORES STORIES YOU
MIGHT HAVE MISSED.
COULD THERE BE PEACE IN SOUTH
SUDAN?
WE STUDY THE SHAKY CE
>>> GERMAN FANS WERE STUNNED
TODAY AS THEIR TEAM WAS
ELIMINATED FROM THE WORLD CUP,
LOSING 2-0 TO SOUTH KOREA.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME IN 80 YEARS
THAT GERMANY HASN'T MADE IT PAST
THE FIRST ROUND.
GERMANY'S SURPRISING DEFEAT AND
WHAT HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER IS OUR
"MOMENT OF THE DAY."
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN FANS SO
UPSET?
AFTER WATCHING THEIR TEAM WIN
THE WORLD CUP IN 2014, HOPES
WERE DASHED LATE IN TODAY'S
MATCH.
SOUTH KOREA SCORED 3 MINUTES
INTO STOPPAGE TIME AND THEN
ANOTHER GOAL 3 MINUTES LATER
SEALED THE DEAL.
IT WAS AN UPSET.
SOUTH KOREAN FANS WERE ECSTATIC,
DESPITE KNOWING THEIR TEAM
DIDN'T HAVE ANY HOPE OF
ADVANCING EITHER.
AFTER TONIGHT'S GAME, MEXICO AND
SWEDEN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT
ROUND.
AND MEXICAN FANS MADE SURE TO
SHOW THEIR APPRECIATION.
HERE THEY'RE CELEBRATING OUTSIDE
THE SOUTH KOREAN EMBASSY IN
MEXICO CITY.
THANKS TO THEM, THEY WILL HAVE A
SHOT AT MAKING THE
QUARTERFINALS, SOMETHING THEY
HAVEN'T DONE IN 32 YEARS.
AGAIN, THE LAST TIME THIS
HAPPENED TO GERMANY, 1938,
ALMOST HALF A CENTURY, TO FIND
THIS HAPPENING.
AND THEY WERE NOT COMING IN JUST
AS DEFENDING CHAMPIONS, BUT A
BIG WIN AT CONFEDERATIONS CUP
LAST SUMMER.
AT WORST, THIS IS APOCOLYPTIC.
AT BEST, A DARK DAY FOR GERMAN
FUTBOL OR SOCCER, WHATEVER YOU
WANT IT CALL IT.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR THIS
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
