>> Adrienne: ON THIS TUESDAY
NIGHT A 5:00 a.m. PHONE CALL
WITH A HISTORIC SURPRISE.
>> THIS IS AN IMPORTANT CALL
FROM SWEDEN AND YOU MUST STAY ON
THE LINE.
PLEASE STAY ON THE LINE.
WHILE WE TRANSFER THE CALL.
I STAYED ON THE LINE FOR OVER 15
MINUTES BECAUSE I AM A RULE
FOLLOWER.
[laughter]
>> Adrienne: THE FIRST
CANADIAN WOMAN TO WIN THE NOBEL
PRIZE IN PHYSICS AND IT'S FOR
WORK THAT MAY HAVE CHANGED YOUR
LIFE.
SO ARE WE DOING ENOUGH TO
ENCOURAGE OTHER YOUNG WOMEN IN
SCIENCE?
>> Andrew: ALSO TONIGHT A
SEISMIC SHIFT IN QUÉBEC AND THE
EXTRAORDINARY STEP THE NEXT
PREMIER SAYS THAT HE WILL TAKE
TO PROTECT SECULARISM.
>> Ian: AND THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
TO THE U.S. MIDTERMS.
WE GO IN-DEPTH, WHAT'S AT STAKE
AND WHY CANADIANS SHOULD BE
PAYING ATTENTION.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
(*)
(*)
>> Adrienne: HER WORK WITH
LASERS HAS IMPROVED COUNTLESS
PEOPLE'S EYESIGHT IN AN INSTANT
AND YOU PROBABLY HAVE NEVER
HEARD OF HER.
WELL, NOW IT'S DONNA
STRICKLAND'S LIFE THAT HAS
CHANGED IN AN INSTANT.
THE CANADIAN SCIENTIST IS THE
FIRST WOMAN TO WIN THE NOBEL
PRIZE IN PHYSICS IN HALF A
CENTURY, JUST THE THIRD WOMAN
EVER TO BE SO HONOURED.
AND AS RON CHARLES TELLS US,
THIS HAS MADE HER A SUDDEN
CELEBRITY.
>> Reporter: THIS IS NOT THE
KIND OF RECEPTION THAT DONNA
STRICKLAND IS USED TO IN HER
LASER LAB AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
WATERLOO.
ROCK STAR TREATMENT FOR AN
ASSOCIATE PHYSICS PROFESSOR WHO
HAPPENS TO HAVE JUST WON A NOBEL
PRIZE.
[Applause]
THAT WIN CAME AS SUCH A SURPRISE
TO STRICKLAND THAT WHEN THE
NOBEL COMMITTEE CALLED HER AT
5:00 THIS MORNING SHE HUNG UP ON
THEM AFTER THEY PUT HER ON HOLD.
>> AND THEN I SAID THERE'S GOT
TO BE SOMETHING WRONG.
SO WE DID HANG UP.
AND BOB DISCUSSED IT A LONG
TIME, LIKE HOW LONG AM I
SUPPOSED TO HANG ON?
AND THEN KEPT SAYING THIS WOULD
REALLY BE A COOL
PRANK IF THIS IS SOMEONE
PRANKING ME.
>> Reporter: AFTER AN EMAIL
AND A CALLBACK STRICKLAND
LEARNED THAT SHE'D SHARE HER
PRIZE FOR HER POST DOCTORAL
THESIS FROM MORE THAN 30 YEARS
AGO.
>> THEY THINK THAT IT'S THE
FIRST TIME THAT SOMEONE GOT IT
FOR THE VERY FIRST PAPER.
IT'S OVER THE YEARS THAT I HAVE
MET PEOPLE AND THEY SAID HAVEN'T
YOU GOTTEN THAT NOBEL PRIZE YET
AND I THOUGHT THEY WERE KIDDING
WITH ME.
>> Reporter: THE DISCOVERY
THROUGH WHICH STRICKLAND AND HER
THESIS SUPERVISOR, GERARD MOUROU
WON THE PRIZE IS CALLED CHIRPED
PULSE AMPLIFICATION.
IT HAS POWERFUL AND PRECISE
LASERS THAT WERE ALSO
SMALLER, ALLOWING FOR ONE THING
FOR SAFE LASER EYE SURGERY THAT
HAS CORRECTED THE VISION OF
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WORLDWIDE.
STUDENTS ALREADY INSPIRED BY
STRICKLAND'S WORK ARE THRILLED.
>> IT'S USED IN ALMOST EVERY
LASER TODAY, I DON'T KNOW IF
PEOPLE KNOW THAT.
SO SHE COULD HAVE MADE A LOT OF
MONEY IF SHE HAD PATENTED THIS
BUT SHE CHOSE NOT TO, BEING THE
SCIENTIST THAT SHE IS.
I THINK THAT IS HONOURABLE.
AND IT'S PAID OFF FOR HER AND
SHE'S WON THE NOBEL PRIZE.
>> Reporter: WHEN THE QUESTION
CAME UP WHETHER THE UNIVERSITY'S
FIRST NOBEL PRIZE LAUREATE
SHOULD BE GIVEN A FULL
PROFESSORSHIP THE SCHOOL'S
PRESIDENT SAID SHE WILL STILL
HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS
BUT --
>> I TOLD HER THAT SHE DOESN'T
HAVE TO SUBMIT A VERY LONG C.V.,
ONE LINE IS SUFFICIENT.
>> Reporter: STRICKLAND IS
PLANNING TO PICK UP HER PRIZE IN
DECEMBER.
RON CHARLES, CBC NEWS, WATERLOO,
ONTARIO.
>> Adrienne: BEFORE DONNA
STRICKLAND, THE LAST WOMAN TO
WIN THE NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS
WAS MARIA GOEPPERT MAYER IN
1963.
SHE ADVANCED THE UNDERSTANDING
OF ATOMS.
THE ONLY OTHER WOMAN IS A NAME
THAT YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE, MARIE
CURIE IN 1903 FOR PIONEERING
RESEARCH ON RADIOACTIVITY.
CURIE ALSO WON THE NOBEL FOR
CHEMISTRY
IN 1911 FOR DISCOVERING RADIO.
SO JUST THREE WOMEN OUT OF MORE
THAN 200 PEOPLE TO RECEIVE THE
PHYSICS PRIZE SINCE IT WAS FIRST
AWARDED MORE THAN A CENTURY AGO.
WHY THE GENDER GAP?
IS THERE HOPE FOR CHANGE?
THE CBC'S KAYLA HOUNSELL HAS
THAT ANGLE TONIGHT.
[Applause]
>> Reporter: TO ACCEPT A PH.D
IN PHYSICS ON THE DAY THAT DONNA
STRICTLAND WINS THE NOBEL PRIZE
IS SOMETHING SPECIAL.
>> THIS FEELS SO GREAT.
IT'S LIKE A WONDERFUL DAY FOR
WOMEN.
>> I HAVE BEEN IN A MALE
DOMINATED FIELD ALL THROUGH MY
ACADEMIC CAREER.
>> Reporter: BUT DALHOUSIE
PROFESSOR SARAH WELLS SAYS SHE'S
PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED SEXISM IN
SCIENCE.
>> I THINK IN ORDER TO STAY IN
THIS FIELD AND HAVE SUCCESS YOU
HAVE TO PUT IT ASIDE AND JUST
SHRUG.
>> Reporter: THAT SEXISM
APPEARS TO BE LIVE AND WELL.
RECENTLY AN ITALIAN PROFESSOR
ALESSANDRO STRUMIA SPARKED
OUTRAGE WHEN HE SAID THAT
PHYSICS WAS INVENTED AND BUILT
BY MEN AND THAT WOMEN ARE
ACTUALLY BEING HIRED OVER MEN
WHO ARE MORE QUALIFIED.
HE MADE THE COMMENTS AT A
WORKSHOP ORGANIZED BY CERN, A
WORLD-LEADING PHYSICS LAB IN
SWITZERLAND.
>> I THINK THAT FROM A PLACE OF
ACADEMIC JEALOUSY...
>> Reporter: DR. JESSICA WADE
WAS AT THAT GATHERING.
>> I THINK WE JUST NEED TO GET
TO A STAGE WHERE YOUNG
SCIENTISTS START FEELING THEY'RE
BEING BELIEVED AND IF THEY FEEL
THEY ARE NOT TREATED WELL CAN
STAND UP AND GET THE SUPPORT
THAT THEY NEED.
>> Reporter: PROFESSOR SARAH
WELLS SAYS SHE'S NOT SURPRISED
BY SHUMIA'S COMMENTS.
SHE ALSO SAID THAT THE ABILITY
TO
ATTRACT MORE WOMEN TO THE FIELD
NEED TO START EARLIER BECAUSE
YOUNG GIRLS ARE DROPPING MATH
AND SCIENCE BEFORE THEY GET
THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL.
THAT LEAVES THEM INELIGIBLE FOR
SOME UNIVERSITY COURSES.
BUT SHE
SAID THAT THEY OFTEN GO UNSEEN.
>> EVEN BEHIND THE PREVIOUS
NOBEL PRIZES FOR PHYSICS THERE
WERE A LOT OF WOMEN WORKING
BEHIND THE SCENES, SOMETIMES IN
KEY ROLES AND WERE NOT
RECOGNISED FOR THEIR WORK.
>> Reporter: ON THE OTHER
HAND, THIS 29-YEAR-OLD SAYS
SHE'S NEVER EXPERIENCED SEXISM
IN THE LAB.
>> I THINK THAT TIMES ARE
CHIENCHING AND WOMEN ARE COMING
FORWARD AND IN THE FUTURE WE
HOPE TO GET MANY MORE NOBEL
PRIZES.
>> Reporter: HOPE FOR FUTURE
ACADEMICS TRYING TO MAKE THEIR
WAY IN THE FIELD OF SCIENCE.
KAYLA HOUNSELL, CBC NEWS,
HALIFAX.
>> Ian: HERE'S A LOOK AT
WHAT ELSE WE ARE WORKING ON
TONIGHT ON "THE NATIONAL"...
CALGARY HAS NOT SOON THIS MUCH
SNOW THIS EARLY IN DECADES.
NOW THEY'RE CALLING ON EDMONTON
TO HELP.
>> Adrienne: AND SHOULD DONALD
TRUMP HAVE VETO POWER OVER
CANADA'S TRADE AGREEMENT?
WE'LL HAVE A LOOK AT THE NEW
TRADE DEAL WITH THE U.S. AND
MEXICO.
>> Andrew: FIRST THOUGH,
QUÉBEC'S NEW MAJORITY GOVERNMENT
AND A NEW POLITICAL ERA.
>> WE WANT TO ESTABLISH GOOD
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DIFFERENT
GROUPS REPRESENTING THE
ANGLOPHONES.
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE REASSURE
THE ANGLOPHONE COMMUNITY.
>> Andrew: QUÉBEC'S NEXT
PREMIER FRANÇOIS LEGAULT IS3
>> Andrew: QUÉBEC'S NEXT
PREMIER FRANÇOIS LEGAULT IS
REACHING OUT TO ENGLISH SPEAKERS
AFTER LAST NIGHT'S LANDSLIDE
ELECTION VICTORY FOR THE
COALITION AVENIR QUÉBEC.
SOVEREIGNTY IS NO LONGER TOP OF
MIND
FOR THE FORMER CABINET MINISTER,
NOW HE HAS A PRO-BUSINESS
PRAGMATIC VISION FOR QUÉBEC'S
FUTURE.
BUT HE'S ALSO PROMISING BIG
CHANGES TO IMMIGRATION AND
RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS, THINGS THAT
BECAME FLASH POINTS IN HIS RISE
TO POWER.
IT'S NOT JUST THE TONE THAT
LEGAULT IS STRIKING ON SECULAR
NATIONALISM.
WE HAVE HEARD VERSIONS OF THAT
BEFORE.
IT'S HOW HE PLANS TO BRING ABOUT
CHANGE.
OUR JAELA BERNSTIEN LOOKS AT
WHAT'S DIFFERENT THIS TIME.
[Applause]
>> Reporter: HE'S NOT EVEN
PREMIER YET BUT ALREADY FRANÇOIS
LEGAULT IS FLEXING ONE OF THE
MOST POWERFUL POLITICAL TOOLS AT
A PROVINCE'S DISPOSAL.
THE C.A.Q. WANTS TO BAN PEOPLE
IN AUTHORITY LIKE POLICE
OFFICERS AND TEACHERS FROM
WEARING RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS.
AND TODAY LEGAULT SAID THAT HE
WAS READY TO OVERRIDE THE
CHARTER TO DO IT.
>> IF WE HAVE TO USE THE
NOTWITHSTANDING CLAUSE TO APPLY
WHAT WE WANT FOR THE MAJORITY OF
QUÉBECERS, WE WILL DO SO.
>> Reporter: LEGAULT IS
PROMISING TO CUT THE IMMIGRATION
QUOTA NEXT YEAR FROM 50,000
PEOPLE TO 40,000.
THAT MIGHT SIT WELL IN QUÉBEC'S
REGIONS BUT NOT SO MUCH IN
MONTRÉAL.
THE DIVERSE CITY WAS AN
EXCEPTION TO THE C.A.Q.'S BLUE
WAVE.
>> IMMIGRANTS ARE WELCOME.
IT'S GOOD FOR OUR SOCIETY, IT'S
GOOD FOR OUR CULTURE.
IT'S GOOD FOR THE WORKFORCE.
IT'S GOOD ON SO MANY LEVELS.
SO I WILL -- I WILL CONTINUE TO
PROTECT THE WELCOMING SIDE OF
MONTRÉAL.
>> Reporter: THOUGH QUÉBEC'S
NEXT PREMIER HAS SOME POLARIZING
IDEAS, HE SAYS THAT HE'S READY
TO WORK WITH ALL QUÉBECERS.
>> I'M A PRAGMATIC GUY.
WE ARE A PRAGMATIC PARTY.
>> Reporter: THE
BUSINESSMAN-TURNED-POLITICIAN
SAYS THAT HIS TOP PRIORITIES ARE
PUTTING MORE MONEY BACK INTO THE
POCKETS OF QUÉBECERS,
DECENTRALIZING HEALTH CARE AND
OPENING IT UP TO THE PUBLIC
SECTOR AND SCRAPPING SCHOOL
BOARDS FOR SOMETHING THAT HE
CALLS MORE EFFICIENT.
THE C.A.Q. IS A SHIFT TO THE
RIGHT FOR QUÉBEC POLITICS,
THOUGH CONSERVATIVES IS A
RELATIVE TERM.
>> FRANÇOIS LEGAULT IS NO DOUG
FORD.
HE'S NO ANDREW SCHEER.
HE'S NOT FROM THAT -- FROM THAT
IDEOLOGY.
SO, FOR EXAMPLE, HE HAS NO
PROBLEM WITH THE CARBON TAX
WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE BIG DIVIDE
BETWEEN CONSERVATIVES AND OTHERS
IN THIS COUNTRY.
>> Reporter: CERTAINLY NOT
EVERYONE IN QUÉBEC SUPPORTS
LEGAULT'S POLICIES BUT VOTERS
HAD THEIR SAY WHEN THEY GAVE HIM
AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY AND
WITH THAT A FOUR-YEAR MANDATE.
JAELA BERNSTIEN, CBC NEWS,
QUÉBEC CITY.
>> Andrew: THERE IS ANOTHER
BIG QUESTION IN ALL OF THIS --
HOW WILL LEGAULT'S BIG WIN
AFFECT THE FEDERAL POLITICAL
VICTORY?
BECAUSE THINGS HAVE CHANGED
SINCE JUSTIN TRUDEAU CAME TO
POWER WHEN HE FACED A GENERALLY
FRIENDLIER SITUATION ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
CONSIDER THIS, LESS THAN THREE
SHORT YEAR AGO,
OCTOBER 2015, LIBERALS GOVERNED
CANADA'S THREE LARGEST
PROVINCES, B.C., ONTARIO AND
QUÉBEC AND ALL OF ATLANTIC
CANADA TOO, BY THE WAY, WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF NEWFOUNDLAND AND
LABRADOR.
TODAY THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE
LOOKS DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT,
B.C. HAS GONE N.D.P. AND
MANITOBA WENT FROM LEFT TO
RIGHT, AND THE LIBERALS HAVE
BEEN SHATTERED IN BOTH ONTARIO
AND QUÉBEC.
AND EVEN THE ATLANTIC RED
STRONGHOLD IS SHOWING AT LEAST
ONE CRACK, IT COULD LOSE NEW
BRUNSWICK TO PROGRESSIVE
CONSERVATIVES AFTER THAT
PROVINCE'S RAZOR THIN ELECTION
RESULT LAST WEEK.
A DIFFERENT POLITICAL BALLGAME
FOR SURE, SO HOW MIGHT TRUDEAU
PLAY IT?
WELL, HERE'S OUR NATIONAL
AFFAIRS EDITOR CHRIS HALL.
SO, CHRIS, WHAT IS THIS BIG
SHIFT MEAN FOR THE PRIME
MINISTER?
>> Reporter: WELL, ANDREW, IT
MEANS THAT JUSTIN TRUDEAU LOSES
A VALUABLE ALLY AT THE FEDERAL
PROVINCIAL TABLE.
AND LEGAULT OPENS UP ISSUES THAT
HE HASN'T HAD TO CONFRONT ON
IMMIGRATION AND LIMITING THE
AMOUNT OF PEOPLE INTO QUÉBEC,
AND THREATENING TO EXPEL THOSE
WHO DON'T LEARN FRENCH WITHIN
THREE YEARS.
AND CERTAINLY ON DAIRY.
THE SUPPORT FOR LEGAULT'S C.A.Q.
PARTY COMES FROM FRANCOPHONE
RURAL RIDINGS AND THEY WILL BE
DEMANDING
THAT HE STEP UP AND OPPOSE THE
CONCESSIONS IN THE NEW NAFTA
DEAL.
SO I EXPECT THAT IS GOING TO BE
THE FIRST PLACE THEY CLASH.
>> Andrew: CHRIS, EVEN
CHALLENGES ON ANOTHER FRONT, I
THINK OF THE FEDERAL OPPOSITION
PARTIES.
DOES LEGAULT'S WIN OPEN UP
OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM?
>> Reporter: FOR THE
CONSERVATIVES THEY SEE A LOT OF
VICTORIES HERE BECAUSE C.A.Q.
HAS SIMILAR ISSUES, LOWER TAXES
ON THE IMMIGRATION FILE AND THEY
WOULD AGREE WITH THAT.
LOTS OF CONSERVATIVES HAD BEEN
INVOLVED IN THE C.A.Q. CAMPAIGN.
EVEN FOR THE NEW DEMOCRATS, THE
STRONG SHOWING OF QUÉBEC
SOLIDAIRE WITH ITS YOUNG
SUPPORTERS WITH ITS STANCE PRO
ENVIRONMENT, PRO SOCIAL JUSTICE,
THEY SEE OPPORTUNITIES HERE
BECAUSE THAT PARTY WON IN
RIDINGS THAT ARE NOW HELD BY THE
NUNN IN ALL BUT TWO CASES
FEDERALLY IN QUÉBEC.
SO THEY SEE GAINS POTENTIALLY
FOR THEM AS WELL.
>> Andrew: A DIFFERENT
LANDSCAPE, THAT'S FOR SURE.
OUR NATIONAL AFFAIRS EDITOR
CHRIS HALL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Ian: SO CHRIS MENTIONED A NEW
TRADE DEAL.
NAFTA'S REPLACEMENT MAY MAKE IT
HARDER FOR CANADA
TO PURSUE DEALS WITH OTHER
COUNTRIES SUCH AS CHINA.
KATIE SIMPSON SORTS THROUGH THE
FINE PRINT TO EXPLAIN WHY DONALD
TRUMP MAY HAVE THE FINAL WORD IN
A CANADIAN DEAL.
>> Reporter: A NEW TOOL FOR
THE DISRUPTER-IN-CHIEF.
DONALD TRUMP NOW HAS VETO POWER
OVER PART OF CANADA'S TRADE
AGENDA BECAUSE OF A PROVISION IN
THE U.S.-MEXICO-CANADA TRADE
AGREEMENT.
THERE'S A CLAUSE THAT AIMS TO
PREVENT FREE-TRADE TALKS WITH
CHINA.
CHAPTER 32 SAYS "IF CANADA, THE
U.S. OR MEXICO WANT TO START
FREE-TRADE TALKS WITH A
NON-MARKET OR
STATE-RUN ECONOMY THE OTHER TWO
PARTNERS MUST FIRST APPROVE OR
THEY CAN KILL THE USMCA."
>> IT IS TROUBLING TO PROVIDE
ANOTHER COUNTRY WITH A FORMAL
ROLE IN VETTING CANADIAN TRADE
NEGOTIATIONS.
>> Reporter: THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION HATES CHINA'S
TRADING POLICIES AND IT'S WAGING
A TARIFF WAR TO PRESSURE ITS
GOVERNMENT INTO CHANGING ITS
WAYS.
CHAPTER 32 IS SEEN AS PART OF
THAT WIDER STRATEGY.
>> YOU KNOW, THE CONTINENT AS A
WHOLE NOW STANDS UNITED AGAINST
WHAT I'M GOING TO CALL UNFAIR
TRADING PRACTICES BY, YOU KNOW
WHO, STARTS WITH A C AND ENDING
WITH AN A.
>> CANADA?
>> NO.
[laughter]
NICE TRY.
>> Reporter: CANADA IS NOW IN
AN UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION.
THE PRIME MINISTER WANTED TO
STRENGTHEN TIES WITH CHINA AND
EVEN TRAVELLED TO BEIJING LAST
DECEMBER IN A FAILED ATTEMPT TO
LAUNCH FREE-TRADE TALKS.
THOSE EFFORTS ARE NOT DEAD, HE
SAYS, DESPITE THE PROVISION.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: WE AS ALWAYS WILL LOOK
FOR WAYS TO ENGAGE, DEEPEN AND
TO IMPROVE OUR TRADING
RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM.
>> Reporter: CANADIAN CANOLA
FARMERS HAVE SERIOUS QUESTIONS
ABOUT WHAT THIS ALL MEANS SINCE
THEY SAY THEY COULD MAKE UP TO A
BILLION DOLLARS MORE PER YEAR IF
THEY HAD FREE TRADE WITH THEIR
BIGGEST CUSTOMER.
>> CHINA IS A REALLY IMPORTANT
MARKET FOR US AND WE SEE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO GROW IN THAT
MARKET IN THE FUTURE.
>> Reporter: IT'S AN
OPPORTUNITY THEY DON'T WANT TO
MISS OUT ON BECAUSE OF DONALD
TRUMP.
KATIE SIMPSON, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA.
>> Ian: THE NEW DEAL MEANS THAT
WE'LL SEE MORE AMERICAN DAIRY
PRODUCTS ON STORE SHELVES AND
THAT HAS SOME CONCERNED ABOUT
BOVINE GROWTH HORMONE.
RIGHT NOW IT'S BANNED IN CANADA.
BUT AS CATHERINE CULLEN EXPLAINS
IT POSES MORE OF A RISK TO COWS
THAN HUMANS.
>> DO WE REALLY KNOW WHAT'S IN
OUR MILK?
BECAUSE IT SAYS THIS... WE HEARD
THAT THERE COULD ALSO BE THIS...
>> I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR
PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT ALMOST ALL
FOODS CONTAIN TRACE QUANTITIES
OF HORMONES OR HORMONAL
COMPOUNDS.
>> Reporter: WITH THE NEW
TRADE DEAL OPENING UP CANADA'S
MARKET A BIT MORE TO SOME U.S.
PRODUCTS --
>> President Donald Trump:
INCLUDING MILK, BUTTER, CHEESE,
YOGOURT AND ICE CREAM TO NAME A
FEW.
>> Reporter: SOME PEOPLE ARE
YOGOURT AND ICE CREAM TO NAME A
FEW.
>> Reporter: SOME PEOPLE ARE
WONDERING IF THEY HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT HORMONES IN YOUR MILK OR
OTHER DAIRY PRODUCTS, FOR THAT
MATTER.
ABOUT ONE IN FIVE AMERICAN DAIRY
FARMS USE A HORMONE CALLED RBST,
THEY INJECT COWS WITH IT SO IT
WILL PRODUCE MORE MILK BUT RBST
IS NOT USED IN CANADA.
THIS DOCTOR WAS PART OF AN
EXPERT PANEL THAT RECOMMENDED A
BAN BACK IN 1999 OVER CONCERNS
ABOUT WHAT IT DOES TO COWS.
DR. MICHAEL POLLACK SAYS THAT
IT'S
A DIFFERENT STORY FOR PEOPLE.
>> IT'S BEEN STUDIED VERY
CAREFULLY AND THERE IS NO PROOF
THAT IT'S DANGEROUS.
BUT IT STILL REMAINS A BIT OF A
SCIENTIFIC CONTROVERSY BECAUSE
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO RULE OUT
SMALL SUBTLE EFFECTS.
>> Reporter: SO IF THERE'S NO
PROVEN THREAT, WHY THE FUSS?
>> AM I PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE
WITH MY FAMILY?
>> Reporter: CERTAINLY
CAMPAIGNS LIKE THIS HAVE RAISED
QUESTIONS.
>> FEARS AROUND THE USE OF RBST
HAVE
BEEN OVERBLOWN I SUSPECT AND FOR
SORTED REASONS.
OBVIOUSLY, WE WANTED TO PROTECT
OUR MARKET AND WE WANTED TO SELL
TO CANADIANS THAT OUR
PRACTICES ARE VERY STRONG AND
ROBUST.
>> Reporter: BUT YOU STILL
MIGHT BE WONDERING WILL I BE
ABLE TO TELL IF IT'S IN MY MILK?
YOU CAN TELL IF YOU'RE BUYING A
CANADIAN PRODUCT BECAUSE IT'S
BRANDED LIKE THIS.
THERE ARE STILL SOME CALLS FOR
BST SPECIFIC LABELS FOR U.S.
PRODUCTS.
>> SHOULD CONSUMERS KNOW?
I WOULD SAY, YES, ABSOLUTELY.
AND LET THEM DECIDE.
>> Reporter: EVEN IF THERE'S
NO EVIDENCE SAFETY IS AN ISSUE.
CATHERINE CULLEN, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> Ian: IT'S ALL SYSTEMS GO FOR
A NEW MEGA CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.
A LIQUIFIED GAS VENTURE
WITH A WHOOPING $40 BILLION
PRICE TAG.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: WE ARE UNITED IN
ACTING TO SEIZE THE GENERATIONAL
OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP A NEW
SECTOR.
>> Ian: IT'S MADE UP OF MORE
THAN 600 KILOMETRES OF PIPELINE
>> Ian: IT'S MADE UP OF MORE
THAN 600 KILOMETRES OF PIPELINE
STRETCHING TO THE COAST, PLUS A
TERMINAL IN KITIMAT.
ALL OF IT BEING BUILT BY A
CONSORTIUM OF ENERGY COMPANIES,
SEEKING THE FASTEST ROUTE TO
ASIA FOR
NORTH AMERICAN NATURAL GAS.
IT HAS SUPPORT FROM ALL LEVELS
OF GOVERNMENT AND LOCAL FIRST
NATIONS BUT AS GREG RASMUSSEN
ASIA FOR
NORTH AMERICAN NATURAL GAS.
IT HAS SUPPORT FROM ALL LEVELS
OF GOVERNMENT AND LOCAL FIRST
NATIONS BUT AS GREG RASMUSSEN
TELLS US, IT'S NOT SHORT ON
CRITICS OR CONTROVERSY.
[Applause]
>> Reporter: INSTEAD OF THE
USUAL BUTTING OF HEADS IT WAS
HUGS, HANDSHAKES AND SMILES
BETWEEN THE PRIME MINISTER AND
B.C.'S PREMIER.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: TODAY'S ANNOUNCEMENT
BY LNG CANADA REPRESENTS THE
SINGLE LARGEST PRIVATE SECTOR
INVESTMENT IN THE HISTORY OF
CANADA.
[Applause]
I LIKE THAT SENTENCE SO MUCH
THAT I'LL SAY IT AGAIN.
THE SINGLE LARGEST...
>> Reporter: TRUDEAU SAYS THAT
IT WILL CREATE 10,000
CONSTRUCTION JOBS AND BILLIONS
IN NEW REVENUE TO ALL LEVELS OF
GOVERNMENT.
[Applause]
WELCOME NEWS IN THIS SMALL TOWN
OF KITIMAT ON THE PROVINCE'S
NORTH COAST.
>> I THINK THAT KITIMAT IS ABOUT
TO GROW, THAT WE ALL REALLY
WANTED TO SEE IT HAPPEN.
>> Reporter: IT WILL TRANSFORM
THE TOWN.
NOW JUST 8,000 PEOPLE.
THE PIPELINE, DOCKS AND HUGE
SPECIALIZED TANKERS TO TRANSPORT
THE GAS.
UNLIKE THE PROPOSED TRANS
MOUNTAIN OIL PIPELINE THIS GAS
PROJECT HAS THE SUPPORT OF 25
FIRST NATIONS.
>> WE HAVE NEVER BEEN PART OF
ANY OTHER OPPORTUNITY SUCH AS
L.N.G. CANADA.
THIS OPPORTUNITY IS HUGE WHEN IT
COMES TO OUR WAY OF LIFE.
>> Reporter: FOR THE FINAL
THUMBS UP, B.C. WILL HAVE TO
PASS LEGISLATION AND THE GREEN
PARTY WHICH HOLDS THE BALANCE OF
POWER IS SLAMMING THE PROJECT AS
UNSUSTAINABLE.
HE'S WORRIED THAT B.C.'S PREMIER
WASN'T SHOWING IT.
>> I'M FAIRLY CONFIDENT THAT
PARTISAN POLITICS WILL NOT GET
IN THE WAY OF THE SINGLE LARGEST
PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT IN
CANADIAN HISTORY.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: IS THAT WHAT IT IS?
>> THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
>> Reporter: ENVIRONMENTAL
GROUPS THOUGH WARN THIS ISN'T A
LAUGHING MATTER, SAYING THAT
THESE SIGNATURES WILL LEAD TO
MILLIONS OF TONNES OF ADDITIONAL
CO2 POURING FROM THE SKIES.
GREG RASMUSSEN, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Andrew: OKAY, LET'S TAKE TO
YOU CALGARY NOW WHERE
WE'RE TRACKING AN EARLY SEASON
SNOWSTORM.
SO MUCH SNOW HAS FALLEN THAT THE
CITY SAYS IT CAN'T KEEP UP.
>> I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT WE DID BUT MOTHER NATURE IS
MAD.
>> Andrew: MAD ENOUGH TO CAUSE
THIS.
A RECORD-BREAKING MISERY-MAKING
SNOWFALL.
OVERNIGHT UPWARDS OF 40
CENTIMETRE FELL.
THAT'S THE MOST SNOW CALGARY HAS
SEEN THIS EARLY IN THE SEASON IN
NEARLY 60 YEARS.
AND IT CAME DOWN SO FAST, SO
HEAVILY, THAT THE ROADS WERE A
NIGHTMARE.
IN JUST 12 HOURS MORE THAN 250
COLLISIONS.
80 BUSES GOT STUCK.
AND WITH SO MUCH SNOW STILL LEFT
TO CLEAR THE CITY DECIDED TODAY
TO CALL IN REINFORCEMENTS.
>> WE WILL HAVE RESOURCES ON THE
ROAD VERY SOON, THEY'RE COMING
FROM EDMONTON,
COMING FROM RED DEER, OKOTOKS
AND EVEN AS FAR DOWN AS MEDICINE
HAT.
>> Andrew: SO CREWS ARE HEADED
IN TO HELP.
MEANWHILE IT'S NOT MUCH BETTER
OUTSIDE OF THE CITY.
PART OF THE TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY
NEAR CANMORE WAS CLOSED AND WE
HAVE REPORTS OF PEOPLE TRAPPED
IN THEIR CARS FOR HOURS BECAUSE
OF THE BRUTAL CONDITIONS.
WE'LL KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THE
STORM ALL NIGHT LIVE HERE ON
"THE NATIONAL."
AND A LITTLE LATER WE'LL HEAR
MORE FROM FOLKS ON THE GROUND ON
HOW
THEY'RE DEALING WITH ALL OF THAT
SNOW.
>> Adrienne: JUST ONE MONTH
NOW UNTIL AMERICA VOTES.
OUR POLITICAL INSIDERS WEIGH IN
ON WHAT IS REALLY AT STAKE IN
THE U.S. MIDTERMS.
>> Ian: FIRST THOUGH, IN A FEW
WEEKS POT WILL BE LEGAL HERE IN
CANADA BUT WILL THERE BE ENOUGH
TO GO AROUND?
>> AS A COUNTRY WE DON'T HAVE A
SHORTAGE OF MARIJUANA.
WE HAVE A SHORTAGE OF LEGAL
MARIJUANA.
>> Ian: CANADA HAS BEEN WORKING
TOWARDS MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION
FOR YEARS AND WITH JUST 15 DAYS
LEFT TO GO YOU'D THINK THAT
EVERYTHING WOULD BE READY, BUT
THERE IS ALREADY TALK OF A
SHORTAGE.
DIANNE BUCKNER HAS MORE IN THE
DISCONNECT BETWEEN SUPPLY AND
DEMAND.
>> YOU'VE GOT PIPES AND WATER
PIPES AND BONGS, THAT SORT OF
THING.
>> Reporter: ANGUS TAYLOR HAS
ABOUT EVERYTHING READY TO ROLL
AT HIS CANNABIS RETAIL OUTLET,
DISPLAY CASES, BRANDING, PLENTY
OF PARAPHERNALIA, IT ALL LOOKS
GOOD.
IN THE BACK THOUGH --
>> YOU DON'T SEE ANY CANNABIS
PRODUCT RIGHT NOW.
>> Reporter: EMPTY SHELVES
AWAIT A FIRST
DELIVERY.
WHAT TAYLOR IS HEARING FROM
SUPPLIERS IS MAKING HIM NERVOUS.
>> I HAVE RECENTLY HEARD
COMMENTS FROM SOME OF THE
C.E.O.s SAYING THAT THEY DON'T
EXPECT THERE TO BE ENOUGH
PRODUCT IN THE SYSTEM.
AND THAT, OF COURSE, IS OF GREAT
CONCERN TO US.
>> Reporter: NOT ENOUGH
PRODUCT?
HAVEN'T CANNABIS COMPANIES BEEN
WORKING OVERTIME FOR MONTHS?
>> WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH
PRODUCERS FAR ENOUGH AHEAD FOR
LEGALIZATION THAT THEY'LL
ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO DELIVER
PRODUCT TO MARKET BY THE TIME
THAT LEGALIZATION HAPPENS.
>> Reporter: ECONOMIST ROSA
LEE WYONCH HAS BEEN STUDYING
INVENTORY REPORTS AND SHE'S
ANALYSED HOW DEMAND FOR LEGAL
CANNABIS PLAYED OUT IN COLORADO
AND WASHINGTON.
HER VIEW?
>> THERE'S NOT CURRENTLY ENOUGH
LEGAL SUPPLY OF MARIJUANA TO
ACTUALLY SUPPLY ALL OF THE
RECREATIONAL DEMANDS FOR
MARIJUANA IN CANADA.
>> Reporter: HOW MUCH WEED DO
WE NEED?
ESTIMATES FOR THE FIRST YEAR
RANGE FROM 600,000 TO 926,000
KILOGRAMS.
MEANWHILE THE FORECAST FOR
SUPPLY FOR THE YEAR IS JUST
200,000 KILOGRAMS.
LESS THAN A THIRD OF WHAT COULD
BE NEEDED.
>> THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT ALL
HOPE IS LOST.
>> Reporter: WYONCH SAYS THAT
THE BLACK MARKET WILL BE READY
TO FILL ANY GAP.
>> AS A COUNTRY WE DON'T HAVE A
SHORTAGE OF MARIJUANA, WE HAVE A
SHORTAGE OF LEGAL MARIJUANA.
>> Reporter: HEALTH CANADA IS
AWARE THAT GETTING RID OF THE
BLACK MARKET WILL TAKE TIME.
IN AN EMAIL TO CBC NEWS A
SPOKESMAN ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE
SHIFT FROM ILLICIT SUPPLY TO
LEGAL SOURCES WILL BE
INCREMENTAL OVER THE FIRST FEW
YEARS.
>> EVEN MORE TRADITIONAL...
>> Reporter: ANGUS TAYLOR
EXPECTS LOCAL DRUG DEALERS WILL
TRY TO UNDERCUT THE GOVERNMENT
PRICES AS WELL AND WORRIES WHAT
WILL HAPPEN IF THE SUPPLY OF
LEGAL WEED DOES RUN OUT.
>> WE'RE CONCERNED PERHAPS ABOUT
THE SECOND OR THE THIRD ORDERS
WHEN THE STORAGE FACILITIES AND
THE LICENSED PRODUCERS START TO
GET A BIT BARE.
>> Reporter: INDUSTRY WATCHERS
SAY THAT A YEAR FROM NOW THERE
WOULD BE PLENTY OF APPROVED
CANNABIS IN CANADA, ENOUGH TO
EXPORT TO OTHER COUNTRIES, BUT
DURING THE FIRST YEAR LEGAL
SUPPLY AT HOME IS FAR FROM A
SURE THING.
DIANNE BUCKNER, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: UP NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL," THE U.S. MIDTERMS ARE
JUST WEEKS AWAY AND AMERICANS
WILL HAVE TO CHOOSE FROM TWO
VERY DIFFERENT VISIONS FOR THEIR
COUNTRY.
SO TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO
KICKSTART OUR COVERAGE WITH AN
IN-DEPTH DISCUSSION WITH BOTH
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS.
WHY ARE THE STAKES SO HIGH?
AND WHY DO CANADIANS NEED TO PAY
ATTENTION TO THIS?
WE'LL GET INTO ALL OF THAT RIGHT
AFTER THE BREAK.
(*

(*)
>> IT'S 35 DAYS TO THE MIDTERM
ELECTIONS.
ALL 435 HOUSE SEATS ARE UP FOR
GRABS AND 35 IN THE SENATE.
>> THERE'S MORE SCRUTINY ON
THESE MIDTERM ELECTIONS THAN ANY
OTHER IN HISTORY.
>> WE COULD SEE A MAJOR SHIFT OF
POWER IN NOVEMBER.
>> AT STAKE FOR ALL OF AMERICA
IN 2019 IS
A REFERENDUM ON THEIR PRESIDENT
AND THEIR COUNTRY.
I AM JAI CHABRIA, I WAS WORKED
FOR GOVERNOR JOHN

DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST AND A
POLITICAL COMMENTATOR.
>> I AM DAVID FRUM, A SENIOR
DIRECTOR AT "THE ATLANTIC."
>> I WAS A DIRECTOR FOR THE
OBAMA 2012 CAMPAIGN AND I
LEARNED THE STRATEGIES NEEDED TO
WIN ELECTION.
>> I HAVE WORKED WITH HILLARY
CLINTON AND JOE BIDEN AND BARACK
OBAMA.
IN ELECTIONS NOTHING IS CERTAIN.
>> THOSE WHO FIGHT ON THE LAST
BATTLEFIELD USUALLY LOSE THE
NEXT ELECTION.
>> WHAT I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT
ELECTIONS IS TO BE CAREFUL
ABOUT PREDICTING THEM AND NEVER
UNDERESTIMATE THEM.
(*)
>> Adrienne: SO THE BIG DAY IS
NOVEMBER 6th AND HERE'S WHAT
IS HAPPENING.
THESE ARE CONGRESSIONAL
ELECTIONS SO RIGHT NOW THE
REPUBLICANS CONTROL BOTH THE
HOUSE AND THE SENATE BUT THAT
COULD CHANGE.
TAKE A LOOK... IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES ALL 435 SEATS
ARE UP FOR RE-ELECTION, EACH
PARTY IS LOOKING FOR 219 SEATS.
THAT IS THE MAGIC NUMBER FOR A
MAJORITY.
THE REPUBLICANS ARE WELL PAST
THAT NUMBER CURRENTLY, THEY HOLD
236 SEATS.
BUT THE DEMOCRATS JUST WANT TO
EAT AWAY AT THAT.
THAT'S POSSIBLY EASIER SAID THAN
DONE.
AND THEN THERE'S THE SENATE.
WITH A HUNDRED SEATS IT'S SO
CLOSE RIGHT NOW.
THE REPUBLICANS HOLD 51, AND THE
DEMOCRATS 49.
IN THIS RACE 35 SEATS ARE UP FOR
GRABS.
AND THE ODDITY OF THE MATH IS
THAT MOST OF THOSE ARE CURRENTLY
HELD BY DEMOCRATS.
THEY WILL HAVE TO KEEP ALL OF
THEM PLUS PICK UP TWO MORE.
REPUBLICANS WILL JUST NEED TO
HANG ON TO WHAT THEY HAVE.
AND SO THERE'S THE MATH OF THIS.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US, I KNOW
THAT WE'LL BE TALKING A LOT IN
THE NEXT FIVE WEEKS.
BUT THE FIRST THING THAT I
WANT TO ASK IS THAT DEPENDS ON
WHO YOU LISTEN TO OR WHAT
PODCAST YOU GRAZE, YOU WILL HEAR
PEOPLE SAY THINGS LIKE, THIS
MIDTERM IS GOING TO REPRESENT,
YOU KNOW, THE BIGGEST ELECTORAL
RACE IN A GENERATION.
IT SOUNDS LIKE HYPERBOLE, MOSTLY
DEMOCRATS SAYING THAT, SO,
PATTI, WHAT ARE THE MIDTERMS
ACTUALLY REPRESENT?
>> WELL, LOOK, SPECIFICALLY IF
DEMOCRATS WIN BACK THE HOUSE
THEY GET A CHECK ON THE
PRESIDENT AND ON HIS, WHAT HAVE
BEEN VERY QUESTIONABLE AND
CONTROVERSIAL POLICIES.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
THEY GET IS THE POWER OF THE
SUBPOENA.
THEY CAN SUBPOENA RECORDS, THEY
CAN HAVE PUBLIC HEARINGS AND
THAT, HAVING WORKED IN THE
CLINTON WHITE HOUSE DURING THE
WHITEWATER INVESTIGATION,
SUBPOENAS CAN BE PARALYZING.
BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST TIME
CONSUMING.
>> Adrienne: OKAY, SO THAT'S
THE PRIZE.
BUT WHAT DOES THE TEST
REPRESENT, DAVID?
LIKE, WHAT IS THE
MEANING OF THESE MIDTERMS?
>> IT DRAWS THE APPROVAL OF THE
PRESIDENT, AND THE THING THAT
DRAWS THE APPROVAL OF THE
PRESIDENT IS THE STATE OF THE
ECONOMY.
WHAT IS WEIRD ABOUT THE TRUMP
PRESIDENCY IS THAT THE ECONOMY
IS PRETTY GOOD.
AND PEOPLE THINK THAT IT IS
PRETTY GOOD.
WHEN YOU ASK THEM
PEOPLE GIVE THE ECONOMY GOOD
MARKS.
I'M BETTER OFF THAN A YEAR AGO
AND I'M OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE
FUTURE.
YET THE PRESIDENT'S POPULARITY
HAS TUMBLED AS IF THERE WERE AN
ECONOMIC CRISIS GOING.
IF THERE'S NEVER BEEN SO BIG A
GAP BETWEEN WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF
THE PRESIDENT AND WHAT PEOPLE
THINK OF THE ECONOMY.
REPUBLICANS ARE GAMBLING THAT
AMERICANS ARE ABOUT THE ECONOMY
AND DEMOCRATS ARE HOPING THAT
AMERICANS WILL VOTE BASED ON
THEIR FEELINGS ABOUT THE
PRESIDENT.
>> Adrienne: OKAY, SO,
STEFANIE, IS
THERE A GROUP THAT YOU'RE
LOOKING TOWARDS THAT YOU THINK
WILL ACTUALLY MAKE THE
DIFFERENCE HERE, THAT YOU THINK
WILL MAKE A MARK IN THESE
MIDTERMS?
>> TOTALLY.
I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE
MIDTERMS BECAUSE I THINK WHAT IT
REALLY REPRESENTS IS OUR VALUES
AS A COUNTRY.
DO WE FEEL THAT EVERYONE IS
CREATED EQUAL, SHOULD BE TREATED
EQUALLY, WHICH RIGHT NOW THE
POLICIES DON'T SHOW THAT'S THE
CASE.
AND BECAUSE YOU HAVE YOUNG
VOTERS AND PEOPLE OF COLOUR,
ESPECIALLY, WHO ARE SO TIED TO
VALUES AND
HOW THEY VOTE, WE WILL SEE A
HUGE SURGE IN VOTERS WHO FEEL,
YOU KNOW WHAT, CHANGE HAS TO
COME.
THE 2016 CHANGE THAT WE SAW WAS
NOT A GOOD ONE FOR US WITH TRUMP
AND THOSE WHO WERE USHERED IN
UNDER HIM.
WE NEED TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
CHANGE TO GET OUR COUNTRY ON
TRACK SO THAT EVERYONE IS
TREATED EQUALLY.
>> Adrienne: OKAY, JAI, YOUR
PARTY, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY,
CONTROLS BOTH
THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE.
I'M TRYING TO IMAGINE HOW HARD
IT'S GOING TO BE FOR THEM TO
HANG ON TO THAT BECAUSE
THEORETICALLY, THE REPUBLICAN
VOTERS WILL SAY I GOT MY TAX
CUTS AND I WILL GET MY SUPREME
COURT NOMINEE, SO I'M GOOD.
>> SO I THINK THAT THERE'S TWO
THINGS.
THE SENATE IS VERY DIFFERENT IN
TERMS OF THE MATH AND THE MAP
THAN THE HOUSE IS.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE HOUSE
BECAUSE THAT'S PROBABLY THE ONE
THAT WILL FLIP IF EITHER OF THE
TWO ARE.
FOR ME THE SEGMENT OF VOTER IS
THE SUBURBAN EDUCATED WOMAN.
THERE'S A LOT OF THOSE
DISTRICTS, THOSE ARE THE WOMEN
THAT HAVE BEEN DISAFFECTED BY
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND WHAT
ARE THEY GOING TO DO?
THEY'LL SIT ON THEIR HANDS AND
VOTE DEMOCRAT OR COME OUT AND
VOTE REPUBLICAN?
AND THAT'S WHERE THE BALANCE OF
POWER WILL LIE IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES FOR ME.
>> DON'T JOAR ARE OVERLOOK WHAT
IS AT STAKE IS THE GOVERNOR'S
HOUSES.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NOW
HOLDS POWER AT THE LOCAL LEVEL
TO A DEGREE THAT IS NOT SEEN
SINCE BEFORE THE GREAT DEPRESS.
-- DEPRESSION.
THAT IS IMPORTANT BOTH IN ITS
OWN RIGHT BUT THAT'S WHERE MOST
OF THE DECISIONS ARE MADE, BUT
ALSO 2020 IS THE CENSUS AND WITH
THE VERY POLITICAL APPROACH
IN THE WAY THAT BORDERS ARE
DRAWN FOR CONGRESSIONAL RACES.
ALSO THE LOCAL STATES HAVE A LOT
OF INPUTS OVER WHO IS ALLOWED TO
VOTE.
THEORETICALLY IN THE UNITED
STATES, EVERYONE OVER THE AGE OF
18, EXCEPT FOR FELONS,
PRACTICALLY SOME STATES MAKE IT
VERY DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO
VOTE.
AND THAT IS ALSO ON THE BALLOT
IN THIS ELECTION, THE CONTROL OF
THE STATE HOUSES AND THE CONTROL
OF THE GOVERNORS' MANSIONS.
>> Adrienne: IN TERMS WHAT OF
MIGHT DRIVE PEOPLE WHEN THEY DO
VOTE, LOOKING AT THE SUPREME
COURT NOMINATION HEARINGS WITH
BRETT KAVANAUGH TO WHAT DEGREE,
PATTI, DO YOU THINK THAT WILL
MAKE FOR PEOPLE?
>> ALMOST THE ENTIRE NATION
WATCHED THAT TOMORROW FROM
DR. BLASEY FORD AND FROM JUDGE
KAVANAGH.
IT HAD A REAL DEEP IMPACT.
AND WE SAW IT IN TANGIBLE TERMS
IN TERMS OF THE PROTESTS ON
CAPITOL HILL AGAINST JUDGE
KAVANAUGH, THE TWO WOMEN WHO
APPROACHED
SENATOR JEFF FLAKE TO SAY TO
PLEASE RECONSIDER HIS VOTE.
AND THE NUMBER OF PHONE CALLS
GOING INTO CONGRESSIONAL
OFFICES, YOU KNOW, TO PLEASE
DON'T --
>> Adrienne: BUT DOES THAT
EXTEND TO THE BALLOT BOX?
>> I THINK THAT WILL EXTEND TO
THE BALLOT BOX IS WHERE IT ENDS
UP.
WILL JUDGE KAVANAUGH BE
CONFIRMED?
IF HE IS I THINK THAT WOMEN WILL
POUR OUT TO THE VOTER POLLS IN
NOVEMBER.
>> Adrienne: JAI, DO YOU BUY
THAT?
>> THIS IS CUTTING BOTH WAYS
ELECTORALLY.
AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE
MORALITY AND WHETHER HE SHOULD
BE CONFIRMED, THAT'S ONE THING.
BUT THE CONVENTIONAL WISDOM IS
THE SUBURBAN WOMEN THAT I TALKED
ABOUT THAT CAN BE DISAFFECTED
EVEN MORE AND THAT'S POSSIBLE
HERE.
BUT IT'S HARD TO GET THE
DEMOCRATIC NUMBERS HIGHER.
BECAUSE THEY'RE AT ALL TIME
HIGHS RIGHT NOW.
AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING AND
POLLSTERS ARE SAYING THAT
THEY'RE SEEING AN UPTICK OF THE
BASE REPUBLICANS IN TERMS OF
THEIR INTENSITY IN THIS ELECTION
BECAUSE OF THEY SEE A MAN THAT
THEY BELIEVE IS UNJUSTLY BEING
CRITICISED AND RAKED OVER THE
COALS AND THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE
THEY GO TO THE BALLOT BOX TO
SUPPORT HIM.
>> Adrienne: IS THAT A BUMP
FOR REPUBLICANS?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
IT COULD BE A KAVANAUGH BUMP.
IT'S FIRST TIME THAT WE SEEN THE
ENTIRE CYCLE THESE REPUBLICANS
STARTING TO GET ENTHUSED AND
THAT WILL BE AN INTERESTING PLAY
IN THE MIDTERMS.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
HAPPENED IN THE OBAMA YEARS IS
THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME WHITE
MEN STARTED TO VOTE AS AN ETHNIC
BLOCK.
THERE WASN'T A THING AS WHITE
VOTERS AND THEY WERE MADE OF
GROUPS THAT DIDN'T LIKE EACH
OTHER VERY MUCH, BUT A
SELF-CONSCIOUS WHITE AND MALE
ELECTORATE TOOK FORM AND THAT'S
WHAT ELECTED TRUMP.
THAT'S WHAT IS AT STAKE WITH
KAVANAUGH.
IT'S A SHOCK TEST WHERE WOMEN
HAVE A SPECIFIC REACTION BUT
WHAT YOU'RE ALSO SEEING IS THAT
A LOT
OF MEN ARE HAVING A SPECIFIC
REACTION.
SO IT'S MUTUALLY RADICALIZING,
NOT JUST ON ONE SIDE.
>> IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT THOUGH,
WE TRADITIONALLY SEE
REPUBLICAN TURNOUT IN MIDTERM
ELECTIONS BE HIGHER THAN THE
DEMOCRATIC TURNOUT.
YOU SAID THAT THE DEMOCRATS'
ENTHUSIASM COULDN'T GET ANY
HIGHER?
I GUARANTEE THAT IT CAN.
THE DEMOCRATIC BASE WAS
DEFINITELY SPURRED WITH THE
KAVANAUGH HEARINGS.
I THINK THAT WE WILL
CONTINUE TO SEE YOUNG PEOPLE,
WOMEN THAT ARE DISAFFECTED WHO I
THINK ARE VERY MUCH AFFECTED,
THE SUBURBAN WHITE WOMEN, TO
COME OUT IN SUPPORT OF THE
DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY'RE FED UP
OF HAVING THEIR VOICES SHUNNED,
BEING PUSHED TO THE SIDE AND
THEY DON'T FEEL THAT THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY OFFERS THEM
ANYTHING TO SHOW THAT THEY
SERIOUSLY BELIEVE IN WOMEN.
>> Adrienne: LET'S LOOK AT THE
TWO RACES -- THE HOUSE AND THE
SENATE.
ALL TOGETHER NOW, YOU CAN SAY IT
ALL AT ONCE, WHICH
MATTERS MORE?
>> HOUSE.
>> HOUSE.
>> WELL, THE PRESIDENT -- THE
PRESIDENT WILL NORMALLY CARE
ABOUT KEEPING THE SENATE.
BECAUSE THE SENATE CONFIRMS
PRESIDENT'S APPOINTEES.
AND THE SENATE
MAKES IT EASIER TO RUN YOUR
FOREIGN POLICY THE WAY THAT YOU
WANT TO.
BUT I THINK THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP
HAS A SPECIAL CONCERN ABOUT THE
HOUSE WHICH IS THAT THE HOUSE IS
MORE CANTANKEROUS AND LESS
COLLEGIAL BODY.
HE'S BEEN LOOKED AT BY TWO
COMMITTEES, INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEES AND THE HOUSE AND
SENATE.
AND THE SENATE INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEES THEY HAVE BEEN
WORKING IN A PRETTY FUNCTIONAL
WAY AND IT WON'T CHANGE MUCH IF
CONTROL CHANGES HANDS.
IN THE HOUSE, THE HOUSE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE HAS BEEN
RUN BY SOMEBODY
WHO IS ABOUT THE PRESIDENT'S
MOST IMPORTANT ALLY IN
CONCEALING HIS RUSSIAN
CONNECTION, DAVID NUNEZ, AND ONE
OF THE PURPOSES THAT WOULD
REPLACE DAVID NUNEZ, ADAM SHIFT,
IS ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT
PRESIDENT PRESIDENT MOST
DISLIKES AND DREADS.
SO IF THE HOUSE FLIPS, ADAM
SHIFT WILL HAVE
POWER OVER THE PRESIDENT.
>> Adrienne: IF THE HOUSE
FLIPS, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT
THE HOUSE CAN ORDER TAXES TO BE
RELEASED?
>> I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WITH
CONGRESSWOMAN MAXIME WATER
BECOMES THE HEAD OF THE
FINANCIAL SERVICES COMMITTEE.
SHE CAN HAVE SUBPOENA POWER OVER
TRUMP'S FINANCIAL RECORDS.
SO I THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT
NOT JUST FOR THE OUTCOME OF THE
ELECTION BUT TO SPUR FOLKS TO
THE POLLS.
WE SEE SO MANY NEW CONGRESSIONAL
FOLKS WHO ARE RUNNING FOR OFFICE
WHO ARE REALLY SPURRING THE BASE
OF VOTERS TO COME OUT THAT
PERHAPS HAVEN'T VOTED IN
MIDTERMS BEFORE.
>> Adrienne: WE'RE GETTING TO
THE END OF THIS BLOCK AND I
WANTED TO ASK YOU, HEARING YOU
KIND OF SALIVATE WITH THE
DEMOCRATS ABOUT WHAT COULD
HAPPEN IF YOU GET THE HOUSE, BUT
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TO BE CAREFUL
WHAT THEY WISH FOR BECAUSE IF
PRESIDENT TRUMP GETS A RESULT HE
DOES NOT LIKE, DOES NOT THIS
LEAD TO A SITUATION WHERE HE
WILL RULE BY EXECUTIVE ORDER?
>> HE HAS BEEN RULING BY
EXECUTIVE ORDER, WHETHER PULLING
OUT OF THE PARIS CLIMATE OR THE
MUSLIM BAN, HE'S BEEN RULING BY
EXECUTIVE ORDER.
SURE, HE WILL CONTINUE TO RULE
BY EXECUTIVE ORDER, BUT WHAT
WE'RE FORGETTING IS THAT THE DAY
AFTER THE MIDTERMS IS THE 2020
ELECTION KICKING OFF.
AND TO HAVE THE POWER OF THE
SUBPOENA LEADING INTO THE 2020
ELECTIONS, IT REALLY GIVES THE
DEMOCRATS AN UPPER HAND TO
REALLY HOLD DONALD TRUMP AND HIS
ETHIC PROBLEMS TO THE FIRE.
>> Adrienne: WE'RE NOT THERE
YET BUT, JAI, IF IT HAPPENED --
>> HERE'S THE THING THAT THE
DEMOCRATS HAVE TO BE CAREFUL OF.
RIGHT NOW AMERICA IS DIVIDED
INTO THE RED TEAM
AND THE BLUE TEAM.
AND WE WEAR THIS JERSEY AND
YOU WEAR THAT JERSEY AND I HATE
YOU AND YOU HATE ME AND THAT'S
THE WAY IT IS ON BOTH SIDES.
IF THE DEMOCRATS GO IN AND THEY
WIN THE CONTROL OF THE CONGRESS
AND THEY START WITH SOME OF
THESE IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS OR
SUBPOENAS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN
THEY START TO OVERREACH IN THE
MINDS OF A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE
RED TEAM, LET'S SAY, THAT COULD
SWING THE PENDULUM BACK FOR THE
2020 ELECTION.
THAT'S WHERE THE DEMOCRATS WILL
HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.
>> Adrienne: WE HAVE TO TAKE A
QUICK BREAK NOW.
WHEN WE COME BACK
WE'LL LOOK AT A PIECE OF MIDTERM
ADVERTISING THAT IF YOU WERE
LOOKING FOR A KINDER, GENTLER,
POLITICAL DISCOURSE, YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO FIND IT HERE.
HAVE A LOOK AT THIS...
>> PAUL GOSAR IS MY BROTHER.
>> MY BROTHER.
>> AND I
(*)
>> Adrienne: SO WE'RE BACK
WITH OUR PANEL OF REPUBLICANS
AND DEMOCRATS WHO SPENT A LOT OF
TIME IN THE INNER CIRCLES OF
POWER, STILL DO.
DAVID FRUM, STEFANIE BROWN JAMES
AND PATTI SOLIS DOYLE AND JAI
CHABRIA.
SO WE ARE FIVE WEEKS FROM
MIDTERM ELECTIONS AND WE WILL BE
HEARING
FROM YOU AGAIN, BUT THE CLOSER
IT GETS THE NASTIER IT GETS,
OBVIOUSLY, RIGHT?
AND ONE INDICATION THAT IT WILL
BE UGLY IS AN AD FROM ARIZONA,
AND, AGAIN, IF YOU'RE LOOKING
TO A SHIFT -- LOOKING FOR
SOMETHING NICER, FORGET IT,
THIS IS NOT THAT.
HAVE A LOOK...
>> PAUL GOSAR, THE CONGRESSMAN
IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO HELP
RURAL AMERICA.
>> PAUL IS NOT WORKING FOR HIS
DISTRICT.
>> MY NAME IS TIM GOSSAR.
>> GASTON GOSAR.
>> PAUL GOSAR IS MY BROTHER.
>> MY BROTHER.
>> AND I ENDORSE DR. BRILL.
>> DR. BRILL WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
>> ENDORSE DR. DAVID BRILL FOR
CONGRESS.
>> I AM DR. DAVID BRILL AND I
APPROVE THIS MESSAGE.
>> Adrienne: THAT IS NASTY.
SO ASIDE FROM IT BEING AN
UNCOMFORTABLE PLACE ON AMERICAN
THANKSGIVING AT THE GOSAR HOME,
IS THAT JUST
CLEVER IN A ONE OFF SENSE OR
INDICATIVE OF SOMETHING ELSE?
>> I THINK THAT THE TEAM THAT
PULLED THAT AD TOGETHER IS
BRILLIANT.
AND I THINK THAT IT SHOWS, LOOK,
PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF THE STATUS
QUO, EVEN WITHIN THEIR OWN
FAMILIES.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BACK JUST OUR
BROTHER.
WE WANT SOMEONE TO PUT FORTH
POLICIES THAT WILL BENEFIT THE
PEOPLE.
THIS IS AN HONEST AD OF WHAT A
LOT OF AMERICANS FEEL.
>> IT SHOWS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN CANADIAN AND AMERICAN
POLITICS.
CANADA IS A COUNTRY IN WHICH
PARSEIS AN
IDENTITY IS A LIGHT IDENTITY.
VERY FEW PEOPLE THINK THAT BEING
A LIBERAL OR A CONSERVATIVE OR
BEING A NEW DEMOCRAT IS A BIT
MORE AN IMPORTANT PART OF WHO
THEY ARE COMPARED TO ALL OF THE
OTHER THINGS THEY ARE.
IN THE UNITED STATES PARTY
IDENTITY IS CENTRAL TO
SELF-IDENTIFICATION.
AND THERE'S A FAMOUS SURVEY THAT
IN 1960 THE AMERICANS WERE ASKED
AND HAPPENS TO HAVE BEEN DONE
THEN -- IF WILL YOU CARE IF YOUR
SON
OR DAUGHTER MARRIED SOMEONE FROM
THE OTHER PARTY?
ABOUT 5% OF AMERICANS SAID THEY
WOULD CARE.
AND THE LAST TIME THAT THE
SURVEY WAS DONE DURING THE OBAMA
YEARS ABOUT HALF OF AMERICANS
SAID THEY WOULD CARE.
SO THIS IS CENTRAL TO
SELF-DEFINITION AND THAT LINE
CUTS ACROSS FAMILY LINES AND
IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVEN
FAMILY.
>> Adrienne: TALKING ABOUT
SELF-DEFINITION.
BUT THIS IS A BIG QUESTION ABOUT
IDENTITY, PARTICULARLY FOR THE
DEMOCRATS, STEFANIE, I'M
CURIOUS, I'M NOT SURE AS AN
OUTSIDER I UNDERSTAND WHAT KIND
OF CREATURE THAT THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY IS RIGHT NOW.
IS IT THE PARTY OF BERNIE
SANDERS, VERY FAR TO THE LEFT
AND PROGRESSIVE AND SOCIAL
DEMOCRATS?
OR IS IT AIMING FOR A MIDDLE OF
THE ROAD HILLARY, DON'T OFFEND
ANYONE KIND OF PARTY?
>> I THINK THAT THE PARTY IS
STILL TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.
I THINK THAT PEOPLE ON BOTH ENDS
OF THE SPECTRUM WITH REGARDS TO
PARTY IDEOLOGY ARE TRYING TO
PUSH IT MORE TO UNDERSTANDING
WHAT WE ARE, TO BE MORE OF AN
INCLUSIVE PARTY.
ONE THAT IS MORE IN THE MIDDLE
AND HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE THAT
AMERICANS ARE GETTING THE
SERVICES THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO
PROSPER.
BUT, LOOK, IT'S BEEN REAL
CHALLENGING WITHIN THE PARTY
POLITICS TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT
THIS IS A PARTY THAT REPRESENTS
ALL DEMOCRATS.
>> BUT I THINK WHAT THE
DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE VERY WELL IS
THAT IN EACH OF THESE DISTRICT
RACES IS
TO RUN CANDIDATES THAT SPEAK TO
THE CONSTITUENCY OF THAT
DISTRICT.
SO, OF COURSE, WE'LL HAVE
CANDIDATES WHO ARE MUCH MORE
PROGRESSIVE AND CANDIDATES WHO
ARE MUCH MORE MODERATE --
>> Adrienne: YOU'LL HAVE TO
FIGURE IT OUT.
>> CORRECT.
AND ON NOVEMBER 7th THAT'S
WHEN THE BATTLE BEGINS TO FIGURE
OUT THE IDENTITY OF OUR PARTY.
BUT RIGHT NOW I THINK THAT
DEMOCRATS ARE PRETTY SMART IN
SORT OF RUNNING INDIVIDUAL
RACES.
>> THIS IS PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
SECRET WEAPON.
IF THE DEMOCRATS DO VERY WELL
AND THE CANDIDATES THEY ELECT
WILL PULL THAT PARTY QUITE FAR
TO THE LEFT.
ESPECIALLY IF THEY WIN THE HOUSE
AND NOT THE SENATE.
THAT WILL TILT THE PARTY THAT
MAKES IT MUCH LESS ELECTABLE IN
THE NATIONAL ELECTION BECAUSE
THE PRESIDENTIAL MAP LOOKS VERY
DIFFERENT THAN THE CONGRESSIONAL
MAP.
>> Adrienne: IN A SENTENCE AND
A HALF EACH, WHICH RACE ARE YOU
GOING TO WATCH?
I'LL WATCH THE ARIZONA ONE FOR
THE SHEER VOYEURISM -- STARTING
WITH YOU, JAI.
>> IN MY DISTRICT THAT I GREW UP
IN, IN THE OHIO 12, AND IN THE
ESPECIALLY ELECTIONS
AND I'M GOING TO WATCH THAT RACE
BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY
POURED INTO IT AND THE
REPUBLICANS BARELY HELD ON.
WE CAN DO WELL THERE TOO AND IT
COULD BE GOOD THINGS FOR US.
>> Adrienne: STEFANIE?
>> THE RACES IN GEORGIA AND
MARYLAND AND FLORIDA.
WE HAVE A CHANCE TO HAVE TWO OR
THREE BLACK AFRICAN AMERICANS
BECOME GOVERNORS WHICH TO YOUR
POINT EARLIER, YOU KNOW WHAT
HAPPENS IN THE STATES IS OFTEN
TIMES CONTROLLED BY THE
GOVERNORS.
SO WE COULD SEE A REAL
HISTORICAL SHIFT HAPPEN.
>> I LIKE TO GO TO BED EARLY SO
I'LL WATCH THE TENNESSEE RACE
BECAUSE IF THE DEMOCRATS PICK UP
THAT SENATE SEAT THE SENATE GOES
DEMOCRAT AND THEN IT'S CLEARLY
ON ITS WAY AND I CAN GO TO BED
AT 10:00.
>> I'M GOING TO BE WATCHING THE
TEXAS SENATE RACE.
>> Adrienne: I WAS WAITING FOR
THAT.
>> WITH SAYS CRUZ VERSUS BETO
O'ROURKE.
BETO HAS COME OUT OF NOWHERE
AND CAPTURED THE HEART OF ALL
DEMOCRATS AND THIS IS NOT A RACE
THAT SHOULD BE CLOSE.
SO I'M LOOKING AT THAT ONE.
>> Adrienne: STEFANIE BROWN
JAMES AND DAVID FRUM, AND PATTI
SOLIS DOYLE AND JAI CHABRIA,
YOU'RE VERY GOOD SPORTS AND I
KNOW THAT WE'LL TALK AGAIN.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Andrew: CAN'T WAIT.
OKAY, MEANWHILE WE'RE TRACKING
REACTION TONIGHT TO ANOTHER
STORY SOUTH
OF THE BORDER.
A BLOCKBUSTER "THE NEW YORK
TIMES" REPORT THAT DONALD TRUMP
AND HIS SIBLINGS HELPED HIS
PARENTS TO EVADE TAXES IN THE
1990s AND PROFITED GREATLY AS
A RESULT.
[Applause]
ACCORDING TO "THE TIMES," TRUMP
RECEIVED TODAY'S, QIF LENT OF AT
LEAST $413 MILLION FROM HIS
FATHER'S
REAL ESTATE BUSINESS AND HE
REPORTEDLY GOT MUCH OF THAT BY
SETTING UP A FAKE CORPORATION
WITH HIS SIBLINGS TO DISGUISE
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF GIFTS
FROM HIS PARENTS.
NEW YORK TAX OFFICIALS ARE NOW
REPORTEDLY LOOKING INTO THE
CLAIMS BUT IN A STATEMENT
TONIGHT THE WHITE HOUSE
DESCRIBED "THE TIMES'" REPORT
AS, QUOTE, A MISLEADING ATTACK.
THEY SAY THAT THE I.R.S. SIGNED
OFF ON THE TRANSACTION AND THEY
WANT "THE TIMES" TO APOLOGISE.
>>> MEANWHILE AT A RALLY TONIGHT
IN MISSISSIPPI THE
U.S. PRESIDENT ONCE AGAIN
DEFENDED HIS SUPREME COURT
NOMINEE BRETT KAVANAUGH AND THEN
MOCKED CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD,
THE WOMAN WHO ACCUSED KAVANAUGH
OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.
>> President Donald Trump: 36
YEARS AGO THIS HAPPENED.
I HAD ONE BEER, RIGHT, I HAD ONE
BEER.
WELL, YOU THINK -- NOPE, IT WAS
ONE BEER.
OH, GOOD.
HOW DID YOU GET HOME?
I DON'T REMEMBER.
HOW DID YOU GET THERE?
I DON'T REMEMBER.
WHERE IS THE PLACE?
I DON'T REMEMBER.
HOW MANY YEARS AGO WAS IT?
I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.
[Cheers and Applause]
>> Andrew: LAST WEEK FORD TOLD
THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
THAT IN 1982 KAVANAUGH PUSHED
HER ON A BED AND GROPED HER.
SHE WAS 15 AT THE TIME.
THE F.B.I. HAS A WEEK TO
INVESTIGATE BEFORE A SENATE VOTE
ON KAVANAUGH'S NOMINATION.
>>> WE'RE WATCHING FOR REACTION
TONIGHT FROM MYANMAR AFTER THE
LEADER AUNG SAN SUU KYI WAS
THE FIRST PERSON TO BE STRIPPED
OF HONOURARY CANADIAN
CITIZENSHIP.
IT WAS MADE OFFICIAL TODAY BY
THE SENATE.
SHE'S BEEN ACCUSED OF STANDING
IDLY BY AS HER COUNTRY'S
MILITARY
CARRIED OUT A GENOCIDE AGAINST
ROHINGYA MUSLIMS.
>> Ian: "THE MOMENT" IS UP NEXT
ON "THE NATIONAL" AND TONIGHT
IT'S ALL ABOUT ROLLING WITH THE
PUNCHES IN CALGARY.
>> TODAY ALSO HAPPENS TO BE OUR
19th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.
AND WE HAVE SPENT THE ENTIRE DAY
SHOVELLING SNOW AND PUSHING SNOW
OFF ROOFS AND NOW WE'RE TRYING
TO SAVE OUR TREES.
>> Andrew: HERE'S ANOTHER LOOK
AT THE BRUTAL FIRST SNOWSTORM OF
THE SEASON IN CALGARY.
IMAGINE WAKING UP TO THIS.
IT WAS RECORD-BREAKING AND,
DON'T FORGET, WE'RE JUST
STARTING OCTOBER.
BOY, SO THAT'S CLOSE TO 40
CENTIMETRES OF SNOW.
IT CLOGGED ROADS AND CAUSED
CRASHES AND BECAME A HEADACHE
FOR THE CITY.
CALGARIA
CALGARIANS, YOU ARE A HEARTY
BUNCH.
>> COMING AT YOU FROM CALGARY,
WHERE WE'VE HAD CLOSE TO 40
CENTIMETRES OF SNOW IN THE LAST
24 HOURS.
>> I GOT TRAPPED IN THE DITCH.
AND SOME CANADIANS PULLED ME
OUT.
>> BEEN ON THE RUNWAY FOR ABOUT
5 HOURS NOW IN CALGARY.
>> WHEN YOU LIVE IN A CITY LIKE
CALGARY, THIS IS FAIRLY NORMAL,
EVEN THOUGH IT'S OCTOBER.
DO SOME SNOWBOARDING.
CHECK OUT THE NEW GEAR.
>> TODAY HAPPENS TO BE OUR 19TH
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY AND WE HAVE
SPENT THE ENTIRE DAY SHOVELING
SNOW AND PUSHING SNOW OFF ROOFS.
>> THIS IS WHAT CALGARIANS DO
WHEN IT SNOWS TOO MUCH.
WE GO SKIING.
>> IT'S SO, SO AMAZING.
I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO
BE AWED BY THINGS AND NOT JUST
INCONVENIENCED BY THEM.
>> Adrienne: SO WISE.
GOOD SPORTS, BUT WE WERE WORRIED
ABOUT THAT WOMAN TRYING TO SEE
THE BEYONCE CONCERT.
SHE MADE IT.
SHE STORED HER LUGGAGE IN THE
AIR PART AND MADE A BEELINE TO
SEE QUEEN BEE.
SO MISSION ACCOMPLISHED THERE.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Andrew: IN A STORY LIKE THIS,
I DO THINK THERE ARE TWO SIDES
TO EVERY STORY.
ON THE ONE HAND, THIS IS A
PRETTY -- IT CAN BE A DANGEROUS
SITUATION.
YOU LOOK AT THE TRAFFIC CHAOS ON
THE ROADS.
ALL THAT SNOW.
40 CENTIMETRES OF SNOW, WHEN
IT'S WET SNOW, IT'S HEAVY.
IT CAN BEND AND BREAK TREES.
I REMEMBER SEEING THAT MUCH SNOW
IN MONTREAL.
ENTIRE BALCONIES CAME DOWN.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY, I
WAS FOLLOWING THE CALGARY ZOO
TODAY AND THEY POSTED PICTURES
OF THEIR PANDAS PLAYING IN THE
SNOW.
IT'S ADORABLE TO SEE.
>> Ian: I HAVE NEVER LIVED IN
ALBERTA.
I HAVE FRIENDS IN CALGARY.
THERE'S A FIERCE RIVALRY BETWEEN
CALGARY AND EDMONTON.
THERE WAS AN ARMADA OF SNOWPLOWS
THAT CAME DOWN THE HIGHWAY FROM
EDMONTON TO HELP OUT.
I'M NOT SURE HOW CALGARIANS ARE
FEELING ABOUT THAT TONIGHT.
GRATEFUL, I'M SURE.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR
OCTOBER 2.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Andrew: GOOD NIGHT.
>> Adrienne: GOOD NIGHT.
