>> Rosemary: ON THIS THURSDAY
NIGHT --
>> IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE
MALE OR FEMALE, YOU HAVE TO BE
TREATED PROPERLY.
>> Rosemary: GOOGLE EMPLOYEES
AROUND THE WORLD WALK OUT IN
SUPPORT OF THE WOMEN WHO WORK
THERE.
WILL THEIR STAND LEAD TO
POSITIVE STEPS IN THE TECH
INDUSTRY?
>> THE CARAVAN IS ON THE ROAD
AGAIN TRAVELLING ABOUT 17
KILOMETRES TODAY TO THE NEAREST
TOWN.
>> Ian: WITH THE CARAVAN IN
MEXICO, SUSAN ORMISTON TRAVELS A
DAY IN THEIR SHOES.
UP AHEAD, THE U.S. TOUGHENS ITS
BORDER TO GREET THEM.
>> Andrew: THIS IS AN INSTAGRAM
WORLD AND ART LIKE THAT COULD BE
THE WAVE OF FUTURE.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL".
>> Rosemary: TWO STORIES
TONIGHT.
HIGHLIGHT A WORKPLACE REALITY
WOMEN KNOW ALL TOO WELL AND THAT
MEN MAY SLOWLY BE PAYING MORE
ATTENTION TO.
IN A MOMENT, WE'LL LOOK AT THE
SPECIFIC KIND OF ABUSE
EXPERIENCED BY WOMEN WHO SPEAK
PUBLIC OFFICE.
BUT FIRST, TWO STORIES ROOTED IN
THE TECH INDUSTRY WHERE FOR MANY
WOMEN JOBS COME AT THE COST OF
SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND WHERE THE
PRICE PAID BY PERPETRATORS HAS
BEEN LOW.
BUT EMPLOYEES AT GOOGLE SAY IT'S
TIME FOR CHANGE.
THE LAST STRAW, A REPORTED $90
MILLION PAYOUT TO A DEPARTING
EXEC ACCUSED OF MISCONDUCT AND
TODAY, THOUSANDS ENGAGED IN A
MASS WALKOUT, BRIEF, BUT
WORLDWIDE, MEN AND WOMEN, 11:10
A.M. IN EVERY TIME ZONE THAT
GOOGLE HAS AN OFFICE IN.
THIS WAS ONE OF THE BIGGER
PROTESTS AT HEAD KWURTERS IN
CALIFORNIA.
BUT WE WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE GLOBE.
>> SUPPORT WOMEN AND TO PROTEST
THE WAY THIS COMPANY HAS HANDLED
SEXUAL HARASSMENT CASES.
>>> PEOPLE ARE BECOMING MORE
STRONG AND UNITED.
>> SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IS
IMPORTANT.
TIME IS UP.
>> Reporter: GOOGLE EMPLOYEES
ARE CALLING FOR KEY CHANGES,
INCLUDING A BETTER PROCESS FOR
REPORTING SEXUAL MISCONDUCT.
PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF HARASSMENT
CASES.
AND A COMMITMENT TO END PAY
INEQUITY.
THE WORLDWIDE WALKOUT INCLUDED
GOOGLE EMPLOYEES AND RON CHARLES
WAS THERE.
>> Reporter: THE GOOGLE WORKERS
QUIETLY FILED OUT OF THE TECH
GIANT'S MAIN CANADIAN OFFICE
INTO A LIGHT DRIZZLE, JUST OVER
100 GOOGLERS, ABOUT A QUARTER OF
THE TORONTO WORKFORCE TOOK PART.
THEY HEADED TO A NEARBY PARK FOR
A SUBDUED RALLY TO TALK ABOUT
WHY THEY WALK OUT.
>> I'VE HAD TO WATCH SO MANY
PEOPLE LEAVE THE COMPANY AFTER
MISTREATMENT AND WOMEN UNABLE TO
GET PROMOTIONS.
>> Reporter: TODAY'S WORLDWIDE
GOOGLE WALKOUTS ARE THE LATEST
AND MOST DRAMATIC DISPLAY OF
DISSATISFACTION AT HOW TECH
COMPANIES DEAL WITH HARASSMENT
AND DISCRIMINATION.
THIS IS FOUNDER AND C.E.O. OF A
TECH STARTUP FOR PERSONAL HEALTH
DATA.
BEFORE THAT, SHE WORKED AT THREE
DIFFERENT TECH COMPANIES WHERE
SHE SAW THE WAY SO MANY WOMEN IN
THE INDUSTRY ARE DISCRIMINATED
AGAINST.
>> EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS TO YOU,
YOU READ ABOUT THEM, YOU NEVER
THINK IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU.
SO EVERY TIME I'VE WITNESSED IT,
BEEN SUGGEST TO IT, I THOUGHT,
WHOA, DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD
HAPPEN TO ME.
YOU'RE TAKEN ABACK AND IT'S
DIFFICULT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO
DO NEXT.
>> Reporter: FOR GOOGLERS, THIS
WAS NEXT.
>> SHE SEEMED EAGER TRYING TO
JUMP IN TO OFFER HER SAY, BUT
SHE WAS INVISIBLE.
>> Reporter: GOOGLE EMPLOYEES IN
TORONTO REFUSED TO GIVE THEIR
NAMES OR DO RECORDED
INTERVIEWINGS, STILL THE MASS
WALKOUT WOULD BE CONSIDERED AN
EXTRAORDINARY ACTION BY ANY
EMPLOYEES.
ITS SIGNIFICANCE WAS NOT LOST ON
THE PARTICIPANTS.
>> THIS IS A REALLY HUGE MOMENT.
AND WE SHOULD ALL BE PROUD AND
EXCITED TO BE RIGHT IN THE
MIDDLE OF IT.
BUT IF THIS IS GOING TO BE
MATTER, THIS HAS TO BE THE
BEGINNING, NOT THE END.
>> Reporter: IT ISN'T CLEAR WHAT
THE EMPLOYEES' NEXT STEP MIGHT
BE, IT'S NOW UP TO GOOGLE
MANAGEMENT TO HIT REPLY.
>> Rosemary: SO THE REPLY FOR
NOW IS SUPPORTIVE FROM THE
GOOGLE C.E.O. SAYING WE'RE
TAKING THEIR FEEDBACK TO TURN
THESE IDEAS INTO ACTION.
IT'S WORTH MENTIONING THAT A
RECENT SURVEY OF MORE THAN 900
TECH FIRMS IN CANADA FOUND WOMEN
MAKE UP 5% OF C.E.O.s AND 53% OF
COMPANIES HAD NO FEMALE
EXECUTIVES AT ALL.
NUMBERS LIKE THAT ARE JUST ONE
PART OF THE PROBLEM.
BUT AS IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS TELLS
US, THEY'RE MOTIVATING SOME
COMPANY LEADERS TO COME UP WITH
POSITIVE SOLUTIONS.
>> Reporter: A PARTY JUST BEGUN.
IT'S ONE WAY THIS TORONTO
STARTUP KEEPS ITS EMPLOYEES
HAPPY.
PERKS LIKE CANDY AND FREE BEER
ARE TYPICAL IN THE TECH
INDUSTRY.
IT'S THE OTHER STEREOTYPES THIS
COMPANY IS INTENT ON BUSTING.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE TECH
WORLD WAS AS MALE-DOMINATED AS
THE IS WHEN I STARTED.
WE GOT FULL CANS OF POP.
>> Reporter: EVA WONG IS THE
COFOUNDER.
BEING A FEMALE MADE HER AN
OUTLIER FROM THE START.
INSPIRING HER.
BUT WHEN A FEMALE ENGINEER AT
ÜBER WENT PUBLIC WITH HER #METOO
EXPERIENCE LAST YEAR, WONG
DECIDED THE COMPANY HAD TO DO
MORE.
>> IT'S IMPORTANT TO LAY THINGS
OUT.
>> Reporter: HALF THE EMPLOYEES
HERE ARE FEMALE.
THERE IS A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY
FOR SEXUAL MISCONDUCT, EVEN WHEN
IT DOESN'T HAPPEN HERE.
WHEN TWO EMPLOYEES WERE HARASSED
AT AN INDUSTRY EVENT, THEY
CONFRONTED THE MAN'S BOSS AND
GOT AN APOLOGY.
>> THAT SHOWED PEOPLE WE ACTED
IN A WAY CONSISTENT WITH OUR
VALUES.
>> Reporter: BUT SWIFT
TRANSPARENT ACTION IS STILL THE
EXCEPTION.
SARAH SASKA HELPED TECH
COMPANIES DIVERSIFY THEIR
WORKFORCES AND FINDS THEY DON'T
HAVE A CLEAR POLICY ON
HARASSMENT OR CULTURE THAT
WELCOMES DISCLOSURE.
>> OFTEN COMMENTS AROUND
HARASSMENT COME TO ME.
THEY DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE
BRINGING IT TO THE EXEC.
>> Reporter: SHE USES STRATEGIES
LIKE HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF THAT
HAPPENS TO YOUR SISTER?
TO PERSONALIZE IT.
AND SCHEDULES REGULAR COFFEE
SESSIONS WITH EMPLOYEES.
THAT PRACTISE HAS A COMPETITIVE
EDGE, TOO.
IT MAKES PEOPLE WANT TO WORK
HERE.
>> I THINK IT'S REALLY EASY FOR
THEM TO PUT VALUES ON THEIR
WALLS, BUT NOT ACT ON THEM.
>> Reporter: IN THIS UNFORGIVING
ERA OF RECKONING, DOING THE
RIGHT THING IS A DEMAND THAT
SEEMS TO ONLY GET LOUDER.
>> Andrew: WOMEN ARE ALSO TAKING
CENTRE STAGE IN THE U.S. MIDTERM
ELECTIONS.
NOW JUST FIVE DAYS AWAY.
A RECORD NUMBER OF WOMEN ARE ON
BALLOTS LOOKING TO MAKE HISTORY.
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS HAVE
235 WOMEN IN HOUSE RACES THIS
YEAR, WHICH IS MUCH HIGHER THAN
THE 167 THEY HAD IN 2016.
THE VAST MAJORITY THIS YEAR,
MORE THAN THREE-QUARTERS, ARE
DEMOCRATS.
THERE ARE 22 WOMEN NOMINEES FOR
SENATE AND 16 FOR GOVERNOR.
BUT FOR ALL THE REASONS THIS
WOULD BE A MOMENT OF PRIDE, AS
LYNDSAY DUNCOMBE SHOWS US, LIFE
IN POLITICS IS BRUTAL.
AND THE HARASSMENT AND ABUSE
ALREADY COMMON IN EVERYDAY
WOMEN'S LIVES CAN GET WORSE.
>> YOU MRUB A CHILD.
YOU'RE A CHILD.
YOU'RE A JOKE.
>> Reporter: THESE THREE WOMEN
ARE FIRST-TIME CANDIDATES FOR
THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE
LEGISLATURE.
>> I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT
SOCIAL MEDIA AND SOCIAL MEDIA IS
A BIG PART OF CAMPAIGNING NOW.
>> IT'S NOT ONE SIDE OR THE
OTHER.
MY OPPONENTS, SOMEONE CALLED HER
AN NRA SLUT.
>> THAT'S NOT OK EITHER.
>> WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING NASTY
ABOUT YOU PERSONALLY ONLINE, DO
YOU IGNORE IT?
>> SOMETIMES.
SOME ARE HARD TO IGNORE.
WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?
>> THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE
CENTRALS MAY BE TO CALL THEM --
TROLLS MAY BE TO CALL THEM OUT.
>> WOMEN ARE EMBOLDENED TO SPEAK
UP BECAUSE OF THE #METOO
MOVEMENT.
PUT THAT SUNLIGHT ON WHAT IS
HAPPENING TO THEM TO CURB IT
FROM HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE.
>> Reporter: WHEN ANONYMOUS
TROLLS TOLD RACHEL HUNDLEY TO
DROP OUT OR RACY PHOTOS WOULD BE
PUBLISHED, SHE POSTED THIS.
>> THIS WEBSITE RELIES ON
SLUT-SHAMING.
>> Reporter: FED UP WITH THE
COMMENTS ABOUT HER FIGURE,
MISSOURI CANDIDATE CORI BUSH
CREATED A HASH TAG.
THESE HIPS, IF ELECTED, ALL OF
THIS GOES TO CONGRESS.
BUT SOMETIMES THE HARASSMENT IS
TOO MUCH.
>> VANDALISM AT HER HOME.
A BREAK-IN THAT HAPPENED WHILE
WE WERE SLEEPING.
>> Reporter: KIAH MORRIS WAS THE
ONLY AFRICAN-AMERICAN MEMBER OF
THE VERMONT LEGISLATURE, SHE
RESIGNED IN SEPTEMBER BECAUSE
RACISM ONLINE.
>> IT WAS FAR BEYOND YOU VOTED
THIS WAY AND I AGREE WITH YOU,
BUT I HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM
WITH THE FACT THAT YOU EXIST ON
PLANET EARTH.
>> Reporter: SHE SAYS THE ONLY
WAY TO STOP RACISM AND SEXISM IS
TO TELL YOUR STORY.
>> WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF THESE
THINGS AND WE DO NEED TO CALL
THEM OUT WHEN WE SEE THEM.
>> Reporter: THE FIRST TIME
CANDIDATES IN PENNSYLVANIA KNOW
THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE WORST OF
IT.
>> WE GET TO HARRISBURG, IT'S
GOING TO BE WAY WORSE.
>> Reporter: THEIR HOPE?
THEY ALL WIN AND END UP IN THE
STATE CAPITAL.
FIGHTING TROLLS IS EASIER
TOGETHER.
>> Ian: WITH THE MIDTERMS JUST
FIVE DAYS AWAY, THE CAMPAIGN IS
BECOMING INCREASINGLY
AGGRESSIVE.
IN A SPEECH FROM THE WHITE
HOUSE, PRESIDENT TRUMP VOWED TO
CRACK DOWN ON ASYLUM-SEEKERS AND
SEEMED TO SUGGEST THERE MAY BE
VIOLENT CONFRONTATIONS AT THE
BORDER.
>> President Donald Trump:
ANYBODY THROWING STONES, ROCKS
LIKES THEY DID IN THE MEXICAN
MILITARY AND POLICE, WHERE THEY
BADLY HURT POLICE AND SOLDIERS
OF MEXICO, WE'LL CONSIDER THAT A
FIREARM.
BECAUSE THERE IS NOT MUCH
DIFFERENCE.
WHEN YOU GET HIT IN THE FACE
WITH A ROCK.
>> Ian: THOSE WERE NOT THE U.S.
PRESIDENT'S FIRST WORDS ON THE
IMMIGRATION ISSUE TODAY.
THIS MORNING HE TWEETED OUT A
NEW AD IN SUPPORT OF REPUBLICANS
AND THEIR STANCE ON ILLEGAL
MIGRATION.
ONE THAT DREW WIDESPREAD
CRITICISM FOR BEING, IN THE
WORDS OF SOME, RACIST.
WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU SOME OF
IT, BUT HIT PAUSE TO SHOW WHY
THE AD DOESN'T TELL THE WHOLE
STORY.
>> Ian: THE VIDEO USES THE STORY
OF LUIS BRACAMONTES, A MEXICAN
MIGRANT ON DEATH ROW FOR KILLING
TWO POLICE OFFICERS IN 2014.
ACTUALLY LUIS BRACAMONTES
ENTERED THE U.S. TWICE.
FIRST WHEN DEMOCRAT BILL CLINTON
WAS PRESIDENT AND THEN AFTER
BEING DEPORTED, HE ENTERED AGAIN
WHEN REPUBLICAN GEORGE W. BUSH
WAS PRESIDENT.
>> Ian: IN FACT, HE WAS DEPORTED
UNDER BOTH DEMOCRATIC AND
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENCIES AND
SINCE HE ENTERED ILLEGALLY, HE'S
LIVED IN THE U.S. UNDER BOTH AS
WELL.
THE VIDEO THEN SHOWS SCENES LIKE
THIS, SUGGESTIVE OF THE MIGRANT
CARAVAN MAKING ITS WAY TO THE
U.S. RIGHT NOW.
LETTING THE QUESTION HANG, ARE
THERE PEOPLE LIKE LUIS
BRACAMONTES IN THAT CARAVAN?
AND THAT CARAVAN CONTINUES TO
MOVE, THOUGH IT IS STILL MORE
THAN A THOUSAND KILOMETRES FROM
THE U.S. BORDER.
SUSAN ORMISTON HAS BEEN
TRAVELLING WITH THEM THROUGH
MEXICO AND HAS THIS GLIMPSE OF
THE PEOPLE SHE'S MET.
>> Reporter: IF ONLY SHE HAD
CRAYONS.
BUT IT'S TIME TO GET ON THE ROAD
WITH THOUSANDS OF STRANGERS AT 5
A.M., TRUDGING ONTO THE NEXT
TOWN 60 KILOMETRES AWAY.
THIS CARAVAN IS NOW A POLITICAL
TARGET IN WASHINGTON.
WHILE HERE, THREE WEEKS IN,
THEY'RE STILL STRUGGLING TO GET
OUT OF SOUTHERN MEXICO.
AND EVERY DAY BEGINS LIKE THIS.
AS THE SUN GETS UP, IT GETS HOT.
AND THERE ARE LITTLE PEOPLE TO
PUSH ALONG.
JACQUELINE'S 3-YEAR-OLD BEGGED
HER DAYS AGO TO QUIT WALKING.
SHE WOULDN'T, BUT SHE MANAGED TO
GET A STROLLER.
HER FAMILY FLED POVERTY AND
GANG-RELATED VIOLENCE.
>> WERE YOU EVER THREATENED IN
HONDURAS?
>> YES.
>> WHAT DO YOU TELL THE
CHILDREN?
>> WE TELL THEM WE'RE GOING TO
THE U.S.
>> DO YOU THINK YOU'LL GET TO
THE UNITED STATES?
>> I TRUST IN GOD AND GOD WILL
KNOW.
>> Reporter: SHE CAN'T KNOW THAT
SHE'S BECOME A PAWN IN A
POLITICAL STORM.
AND WHAT SHE NEEDS IS A RIDE.
A PLAN LAST NIGHT FOR BUSES FELL
APART UNDER PRESSURE FROM THE
MEXICAN GOVERNMENT SAID THE
ORGANIZERS.
SO IT'S EACH TO THEIR OWN,
HITCHING ONTO ANYTHING WITH
WHEELS, GOING THEIR DIRECTION.
FOR YOUNG MEN, IT'S A GAME.
NOT FOR FAMILIES WHO PAUSE AND
WAIT AND GET A SPECIAL DRINK.
A RARE BIT OF JOY.
THERE IS NOT A HUGE SENSE HERE
AMONGST THESE MIGRANTS WHO
INVESTED NEARLY THREE WEEKS
ALREADY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO
QUIT, BUT WITH OFFICIAL SUPPORT
FOR THINGS LIKE TRANSPORTATION
DISAPPEARING, AND WITH PRESSURE
ON THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT
INCREASING, IT'S HARD TO KNOW
WHAT THE STRATEGY IS GOING
FORWARD, EXCEPT FOR ONE STEP
AHEAD OF THE NEXT.
AMONG THE 4,000 WALKING, THERE
ARE THOSE USING THE CARAVAN AS
COVER.
WE'VE SPOKEN TO SELF DEPORTED
FROM THE -- SEVERAL DEPORTED
FROM THE U.S. ALREADY, BUT
DONALD TRUMP'S VISION OF THUGS
AND INVADERS, IT AMUSES THIS
MAN.
HE SAYS THERE ARE GANGSTERS AND
VICIOUS PEOPLE IN THIS GROUP.
>> Reporter: THE TRUTH COULD BE
MAYBE NOT HE MOCKS.
I ASSUME THERE WILL BE
BACKGROUND CHECKS AT THE BORDER
WHERE HE'S HEADING.
ALONG WITH SCORES OF YOUNG MEN
TRAVELLING FAST TO AN UNKNOWN
FUTURE.
AND JACQUELINE, WELL, SHE
FINALLY GETS HER TURN.
PUSHING THE KIDS UP ONTO THE
TRUCK.
CLAMORING UP WITH THAT STROLLER
TO GET GOING DOWN THE ROAD TO
MATIAS ROMERO, ANOTHER
UNFAMILIAR TOWN.
THE MIGRANTS PILE OFF TOUCHING
WHATEVER IS PRECIOUS.
HEAD FOR AN OPEN FIELD WHERE
THEY'LL PITCH A TARP OF TENTS
FOR MAYBE ONE NIGHT BEFORE THEY
START THE EXODUS TOMORROW.
TONIGHT, 4,000 PEOPLE ARE
CRAMMED IN THAT PLAYING FIELD.
EVERY DAY, THE CARAVAN IS ON THE
ROAD, CONDITIONS ARE NOT GETTING
BETTER.
THEY WERE DIVERTED LATE LAST
NIGHT FROM A MORE DIRECT ROUTE
TO THE NEXT TOWN BECAUSE THEY
COULDN'T GET THOSE BUSES.
SO NOW THEY'RE SNAKING ALONG
THROUGH ONE OF THE MORE
DANGEROUS PARTS OF MEXICO.
WITH ALL THE RESISTANCE RAMPING
UP IN THE UNITED STATES, ALL THE
ATTENTION AROUND THIS CARAVAN
HAS ACTUALLY WORKED AGAINST IT.
SO THE QUESTION IS, WHAT IS
LEFT?
WHAT REMAINS FOR THE PEOPLE
TRUDGING ALONG EVERY DAY?
SUSAN ORMISTON, CBC NEWS, MATIAS
ROMERO, MEXICO.
>> Ian: LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT
SOME OF THE OTHER STORIES WE'RE
FOLLOWING TONIGHT.
INCLUDING AN UPDATE ON THE FIERY
CRASH THAT KILLED TWO DRIVERS.
>> WOW, OH, CRAP.
HOLD UP.
>> Ian: POLICE SAY THE COLLISION
YESTERDAY NORTH OF TORONTO WAS
MOST LIKELY THE RESULT OF SOME
MECHANICAL FAILURE ON THE FUEL
TRUCK.
IT WAS TRAVELLING WESTBOUND ON
THE 407 AND VEERED HARD TO THE
LEFT, TAKING ANOTHER CAR WITH
IT.
THEY BOTH ENDED UP IN THE
ONCOMING LANES.
>> IF WE HAVE THE VOTES
INDICATED TODAY, WE WOULD BE ONE
VOTE SHORT.
>> THAT MEANS NEW BRUNSWICK MAY
BE ABOUT TO GET A NEW
GOVERNMENT.
THE LIBERALS HAVE A MINORITY IN
THE HOUSE AND IT APPEARS
TOMORROW THEY'LL LOSE THE NO
CONFIDENCE VOTE AND THAT WILL
SET THE STAGE FOR THE
PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE
GOVERNMENT TO TRY TO TAKE OVER.
>> IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GO.
I WANT TO GO PEACEFULLY AND
BEAUTIFULLY.
>> Ian: A NOVA SCOTIA WELL,
AUDREY PARKER, HOPES HER DEATH
TODAY WILL SEND A MESSAGE.
SHE HAD STAGE 4 BREAST CANCER.
SHE WANTED TO LIVE LONGER, BUT
UNDER THE CURRENT LAW NEEDED TO
BE MENTALLY COMPETENT AT THE
TIME OF THE PROCEDURE.
IN A POST, SHE WROTE I COULDN'T
TAKE THE RISK OF LOSING ACCESS
TO ME AND THUS DYING A CRUEL
PAINFUL DEATH.
SHE'S OPENING THE LAW WILL BE
CHANGED TO ALLOW ASSISTED DEATH
IN THE FUTURE WHEN THEY MIGHT
NOT BE MENTALLY COMPETENT.
>> Rosemary: THE SILVER CROSS
MOTHER HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED AND
FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE ROYAL
CANADIAN LEGION CHOSE A MOTHER
WHO LOST A CHILD TO SUICIDE.
ANITA CENERINI WORKED HARD TO
MAKE SURE HER SON RECEIVED
HONOURS.
HER SON, PRIVATE THOMAS WELCH,
TOOK HIS OWN LIFE THREE MONTHS
AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM
AFGHANISTAN.
>> SINCE THOMAS' DEATH, I ALSO
ESPECIALLY THINK OF THE SOLDIERS
WHO HAVE COME HOME.
WITH WOUNDS THAT WE CAN'T SEE,
THAT THEY DEAL WITH EVERY DAY.
AND FOR THE INJURED.
FOR THE ONES WHO HAVE BEEN
DISPLACED FROM THE ONLY LIFE
THEY'VE KNOWN.
FOR THE STRUGGLES THAT THEY
FACE.
>> Rosemary: YOU CAN SEE MORE OF
THE INTERVIEW WITH ANITA
CENERINI ON REMEMBRANCE DAY.
STILL AHEAD TONIGHT, IT'S
THURSDAY, AND THAT MEANS "AT
ISSUE".
THE GANG IS ALL HERE TO TALK
ABOUT ADRIENNE CLARKSON'S
SPENDING HABIT.
>> Ian: ART?
ELI GLASNER CHECKS OUT A NEW
INSTALLATION IN TORONTO THAT
PUTS YOU IN THE FRAME.
>> Andrew: EXAMINING THE PITCH
BEHIND FOOD SENSITIVITY TESTS.
"MARKETPLACE" SHOWS THEY MAY NOT
WORK AS ADVERTISED.
>> CAN'T EIGHT BREAD, THESE
TESTS SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF
>> I COULDN'T EAT.
I FEEL SICK ALL THE TIME.
YOU KNOW.
AND IT WAS JUST LONG, LONG
HELLISH ROAD [LAUGHTER].
>> Andrew: IF IT'S NOT A FOOD
ALLERGY, COULD IT BE A FOOD
SENSITIVITY?
INTOLERANCE.
SOME COMPANIES ARE OFFERING
TESTS TO PINPOINT FOODS THAT
COULD BE MAKING YOU SICK.
WHILE IT CAUGHT ON, DOCTORS WARN
ABOUT IT.
THEY LOOK AT HOW THE TESTS
OFFERED BY TWO OF THE BIGGEST
BLOOD LABS MEASURE UP.
>> Reporter: DESPERATE FOR
ANSWERS TO WHAT MIGHT BE CAUSING
HER STOMACH PROBLEMS, LAURA
TURNED TO A FOOD INTOLERANCE
TEST.
>> CAN'T EAT BREAD.
>> Reporter: A DETAILED REPORT
TOLD HER TO CUT 26 FOODS FROM
HER DIET, FOODS THAT SAME REPORT
SAY COULD BE CONTRIBUTING TO
HEADACHES, BLOATING, FATIGUE,
EVEN FIBROMYALGIA.
>> THESE TESTS SCARED THE CRAP
OUT OF ME TO PUT ANYTHING IN MY
MOUTH WHATEVER.
>> Reporter: THE TEST IS
PROVIDED BY ONE OF CANADA'S
LEADING BLOOD LABS, DYNACARE.
AND IT'S NOT THE ONLY LAB
CASHING IN ON THE FOOD
SENSITIVITY CRAZE.
LIFE LABS HAS A TEST TOO.
>> THE REALITY IS, THERE IS NO
SCIENCE TO SUPPORT THE WAY
THEY'RE SELLING THIS.
>> Reporter: DR. DOUGLAS MACK IS
A ALLERGY SPECIALIST AND SAYS
FOOD SENSITIVITY TESTS ARE BEING
MISMARKETED AND MISINTERPRETED.
>> WHAT IT'S SAYING, YOU HAVE AT
SOME POINT HAD EXPOSURE TO ANY
OF THESE FOODS.
>> Reporter: HE WARNED USING A
TEST LIKE THIS TO ELIMINATE
FOODS FROM YOUR DIET IS
DANGEROUS.
>> YOU CAN DO HARM BY ORDERING
THESE TESTS AND HAVING YOUR
CHILDREN REMOVE THESE FOODS FROM
THEIR DIET.
WE HAVE KIDS COMING IF WITH
NUTRITION DEFICIENCIES, FAILURE
TO GROW.
>> Reporter: MORE THAN TWO DOZEN
HEALTH STANDARDS ORGANIZATIONS
SAY FOOD SENSITIVITY TESTS ARE
IRRELEVANT AND NEVER BEEN
SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN.
"MARKETPLACE" ASKED CANADA'S TWO
LEADING BLOOD LABS, WHY THEY'RE
STILL SELLING THE TEST?
BOTH DECLINED INTERVIEWS.
THEY SAID THE TEST DOES NOT NEED
TO BE DIAGNOSTIC TO BE RELEVANT.
AND DYNACARE SAYS IT RELIES ON
THE EXPERTISE OF THE ORDERING
HEALTH OFFICIAL.
WHEN HER SYMPTOMS DIDN'T
APPROVE, SHE TURNED TO A SOURCE
SHE TRUSTS WITH HELP WITH WHAT
TO EAT.
A REGISTERED DIETICIAN.
>> Andrew: YOU CAN SEE THE FULL
INVESTIGATION THIS FRIDAY, 8:00
P.M. ON CBC TELEVISION, 8:30 IN
NEWFOUNDLAND.
>> Ian: STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL", MOVE OVER INFINITY
MIRRORS.
ELI GLASNER TAKES US INSIDE THE
NEWEST INSTAGRAM FRIENDLY HART
INSTALLATION.
HAPPY PLACE.
>> ONE, TWO, THREE!
IT IS STRANGELY CALMING.
>> Rosemary: VERY STRANGE.
THIS IS MY HAPPY PLACE.
THURSDAY NIGHT, WITH THE "AT
ISSUE" GANG.
IT'S THE NIGHT OF G.G., AS THEY
TAKE ON A
ANNOUNCE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN
INDEPENDENT DEBATE COMMISSION IN
ORDER TO PUT INTO MOTION, FAIR,
OPEN AND TRANSPARENT LEADER
DEBATES DURING THE 2019 FEDERAL
ELECTION CAMPAIGN.
>> ALL PARTIES DID NOT HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE THE DEBATE
COMMISSIONER AND TO BE PART OF
THE PROCESS.
NOT EVEN A SHORT LIST.
>> THIS WAS MEANT TO BE STRAIGHT
FORWARD.
I'M CONFUSED WHY THE LIBERALS
AGAIN CHOSE TO UNILATERALLY MAKE
DECISIONS OVER HOW OUR DEMOCRACY
FUNCTIONS.
>> Rosemary: IT WAS A LIBERAL
ELECTION PROMISE TO CREATE AN
INDEPENDENT DEBATES COMMISSION.
BUT WITH FORMER GOVERNOR-GENERAL
DAVID JOHNSTON A FAIR CHOICE FOR
THE COMMISSIONER?
SHOULD THEY HAVE CONSULTED
COLLEAGUES ACROSS THE AISLE?
IS IT POSSIBLE TO CREATE IT
WITHOUT PARTISAN POLITICS?
HOST OF THE HOUSE, CHRIS HALL IS
HERE IN OTTAWA.
ANDREW, GOING TO START WITH YOU.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE IDEA
ITSELF, WE TRY IT MAKE THIS
NEUTRAL, THAT THE PARTIES AREN'T
INVOLVED, WE GET ACTUAL RELIABLE
DEBATES IS THE LANGUAGE THE
GOVERNMENT USED?
>> THE GENERAL IDEA IS ONE I
SUPPORT.
WHAT WE TENDED TO DO IS TREAT
DEBATES, ELECTIONS AS IF THEY'D
JUST BEEN INVENTED.
WE TREAT THEM AD HOC.
THERE IS THIS FURIOUS LAST
MINUTE ROUND BETWEEN THE TV
NETWORKS AND PARTIES.
SELF-INTERESTED PARTIES ALL
AROUND.
AND SELF-INTEREST WHERE YOU KNOW
WHERE YOU'RE AT IN THE POLLS.
IF YOU'RE BEHIND YOU WANT TO
HAVE AS MANY AS POSSIBLE.
WHO THE HELL IS THE CONSORTIUM?
TO BE MAKING SUCH ENORMOUS
DECISIONS ABOUT MODERN ELECTION.
TAKING IT OUT OF THE HANDS OF
THE CONSORTIUM.
ALL THAT IS TO THE GOOD.
WHY THEY HAD TO PICK THE
COMMISSIONERS ON HIS OWN.
WHY THEY HAD TO START SETTING
RULES WITHOUT CONSULTING OTHER
PARTIES.
THIS IS THE LIBERALS ONCE AGAIN,
THE MASK SLIPPING.
>> Rosemary: AND THE CONSORTIUM,
CBC IS PART OF THAT CONSORTIUM,
OF COURSE I DON'T KNOW IF THERE
IS ONE GOING FORWARD UNDER THIS
IDEA.
CHANTAL, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF
THE IDEA, THE PRINCIPLE BEHIND
IT?
>> I DON'T FIND THAT THE IDEA IS
WITHOUT MERIT, ALTHOUGH I AM
PROBABLY LESS DISQUIETED BY THE
PROCESS IN THE PAST.
THE NETWORKS TENDED TO GET
TOGETHER AND TRY TO GET THE
LEADERS TO AGREE TO COME ON
THEIR PODIUM, BUT IN QUÉBEC,
THEY WALKED AWAY FROM THAT
PROCESS AND THE ONLY OUTCOME IS
THERE HAVE BEEN TWO FRENCH
DEBATES INSTEAD OF ONE.
AND I'M HARD PRESSED IT FIND
THAT IS A BAD OUTCOME.
BUT DEBATES, LAWS, CONSULTATION
MATTERS.
AND THE PROCESS THAT LED TO
THIS.
THE HAND-PICKED COMMISSIONER BY
THE GOVERNMENT ALONE, ET CETERA,
KIND OF POISONS THE WELL TO
START WITH.
>> Rosemary: IT IS TRUE.
I WROTE THIS IN THE NEWS LETTER,
THAT THE PAST TWO ELECTIONS,
2008, 2015, HAVE BEEN DOMINATED,
AT LEAST THE BEGINNING, BY THESE
DEBATES AND IT'S RIDICULOUS
WE'RE NOT SPENDING TIME TALKING
ABOUT ISSUES AND RATHER WHO
SHOULD BE ON THE STAGE, WHO IS
GOING TO BROADCAST IT.
IT SPINS IN THE RIDICULOUS.
>> THERE WERE FIVE DEBATES IN
THE LAST CAMPAIGN.
TWO IN FRENCH, THREE IN ENGLISH.
TWO DEALT WITH SPECIFIC ISSUES,
ONE ON BILINGUAL AND ONE ON
FOREIGN POLICY.
I DON'T CALL THAT AN EXAMPLE
THAT SHOWS YOU THAT YOU
ABSOLUTELY NEED TO CREATE A
GOVERNMENT APPOINTED BODY.
ONLY THE GOVERNMENT IS
APPOINTING TO TAKE OVER THE
JOURNALISM.
AND THEN OFFER THE PRODUCT TO
THE SO-CALLED BROADCASTERS.
>> Rosemary: I WANT CHRIS IN.
>> THAT IS TO ME -- THE TWO
THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS
WITH THIS, THE FIRST IS THAT
THEY WANTED TO HAVE AN
INDEPENDENT LESS
PARTISAN-LOOKING DEBATE
STRUCTURE WHICH WE ALL REMEMBER
BACK TO 2015 WHEN THE
CONSERVATIVES SAID THEY DIDN'T
WANT TO BE PART OF ONE BY THE
BROADCASTING CONSORTIUM AND
THOMAS MULCAIR SAID HE WOULDN'T
DEBATE.
THAT WAS THE FIRST THING.
THE OTHER ASPECT TO THIS, I
WASN'T A HUGE FAN OF THE LONG
CAMPAIGN IN 2015, I CERTAINLY
LIKED THE FACT THERE WERE FIVE
DEBATES.
THE PROBLEM WAS THAT NOT ENOUGH
PEOPLE SAW THEM, BECAUSE THEY
WEREN'T BROADCAST NATIONALLY.
SO THIS IS THE WAY TO MAKE SURE
THAT CANADIANS HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO WATCH THE
LEADERS, WHICH ANDREW INDICATED
IS PROBABLY A SEMINAL MOMENT IN
ANY CAMPAIGN.
>> THERE IS OPPORTUNITY IN THE
SETTING OF THE RULES TO MAKE
THEM BETTER.
DEBATES CAN BE TERRIBLE, THEY
CAN GIVE FALSE IMPRESSIONS.
WE'VE SEEN EXAMPLES OF DAKTS
THAT DIDN'T WORK.
BUT THE BEST THAT CAN BE
ILLUMINATING ABOUT THE
CANDIDATES AND HOW THEY WORK
UNDER PRESSURE.
WHEN YOU CONSIDER HOW OFTEN
CAMPAIGNS ARE.
THEY'RE FILLED WITH MEANINGLESS
PHOTO-OPS, ATTACK ADS.
THE BEST PART IS THE BEST
DEBATE.
THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE
MORE REGULAR DEBATES ONCE A
WEEK, ORGANIZE THE CAMPAIGN
AROUND THEM, GIVES US SOMETHING
TO TALK ABOUT IN THE MEDIA,
RATHER THAN THE STUFF WE FILL
OUR TIME WITH.
THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY NOT TO
JUST MAKE DEBATES BETTER, BUT
CAMPAIGNS BETTER.
I THINK THEY MUST HAVED IT
BECAUSE THEY'RE ONLY TALKING
ABOUT TWO.
>> Rosemary: CHANTAL?
>> SO, TWO POINTS.
THE FACT THAT THEY'RE SAYING
WE'RE GOING TO SET UP TWO
DEBATES.
THEY'RE NOT FORCING ANY
BROADCASTER TO BROADCAST THEM.
>> Rosemary: OR ANYONE TO
ATTEND, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOW
UP.
>> BUT TO THE POINT THAT THE
FIVE DEBATES DIDN'T GET TO SEE
BECAUSE THE CBC DIDN'T CARRY
THEM, I HATE TO SAY THAT, BUT
SHOULDN'T THE GOVERNMENT MAYBE
AND THE OTHER PARTIES ASK THE
PUBLIC BROADCASTER TO DO THIS?
AND WOULD IT BE ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY TO CREATE THE
COMMISSION?
AND THEN I HAVE TO SAY THAT ONE
FEAR, IT'S LEGITIMATE, THE
PERSON WHO LEAST LIKES TO GO ON
DEBATES USUALLY IS THE
INCUMBENT, BECAUSE HE OR SHE IS
UNDER ATTACK.
IT'S RARELY A GREAT NIGHT.
I FEAR THAT ONCE YOU SUCK THAT
UP, IT WILL BE EASIER FOR THE
INCUMBENT TO SAY I'M DOING THOSE
TWO COMMISSIONER SPONSORED
DEBATES AND THE REST I'M
CAMPAIGNING.
>> REMEMBER, THE BEAUTY OF THOSE
FIVE, THEY WERE HELD IN
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY,
OUT WEST, TORONTO, QUÉBEC.
AND THEY HAD LIVE AUDIENCES.
SO THERE WAS A REAL SENSE THAT
PEOPLE WERE ENGAGED AS THEY
WATCHED.
I FELT THAT WAS REALLY GOOD FOR
ALL OF THE CANDIDATES.
AND IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THAT,
WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THE CLEAR
DEFINITION, THE QUESTIONS AROUND
TWO TIERED CITIZENSHIP.
ALL OF THOSE THINGS CAME OUT.
WE HAD A MUCH DEEPER DEBATE ON
ISSUES THAT REALLY MATTERED, AS
OPPOSED IF WE GO BACK TO THE
TWO, HELD IN OTTAWA AND
MONTREAL, AND I DON'T THINK THEY
GET THE SAME KIND OF DEBATE.
WHO IS GOING TO DECIDE THE
FULLNESS OF THE DEBATES?
IT'S CLEAR THAT THE QUESTIONS
AND THE JOURNALISTIC MIGHT
BEHIND THEM WILL BE DONE BY
WHOEVER IS THE WINNING BIDDER.
BUT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT WHETHER
THEN THE COMMISSIONER HAS TO
SAY, WELL, WANT MORE TOPICS IN
HERE.
IT SEEMS TO ME, UNDER THIS
MANDATE LETTER, IT'S OPEN TO DO
JUST THAT.
>> Rosemary: IT'S LIKE YOU'RE
LOBBYING FOR A LONG CAMPAIGN
THERE, CHRIS I DON'T WANT TO
FRIGHTEN YOU.
I WANT TO DO ONE ROUND.
THE PRIME MINISTER ANNOUNCED HE
IS GOING TO REVIEW THIS AFTER IT
WAS REVEALED THAT ADRIENNE
CLARKSON EXPENSED A MILLION
DOLLARS.
>> CANADIANS EXPECT CERTAIN
LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY AND WE'RE GOING
TO MAKE SURE WE'RE MOVING
FORWARD IN A THOUGHTFUL WAY.
>> Rosemary: I HAVE TO SAY, I
READ THIS "NATIONAL POST" STORY
IN YOUR PAPER, ANDREW, AND I WAS
ASTOUNDED.
I MEAN, THAT THE RULE EXISTS,
BUT ALSO THERE IS NO
TRANSPARENCY.
NO ONE KNOWS HOW THE MONEY IS
BEING SPENT AND THERE IS NO
OBLIGATION TO DISCLOSE ANY OF
THAT EITHER.
SHOULD IT BE ALLOWED?
IS THE RULE THE PROBLEM OR THE
POTENTIAL ABUSE OF THE
PRIVILEGE?
>> I THINK MUCH MORE THE LATTER.
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE MONEY HAS
BEEN SPENT ON.
MOST DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS BEING
SPENT AT ALL.
THERE IS SOME SUGGESTION THAT X
GOVERNORS-GENERAL HAVE DUTIES TO
PERFORM AFTER THEY LEAVE OFFICE.
MAYBE THAT IS TRUE, MAYBE IT
ISN'T.
IT'S FAIR ENOUGH THEY SHOULD BE
COMPENSATED.
BUT IT SHOULD BE MUCH MORE
TRANSPARENT THAN ITS BEEN.
THE AMOUNTS INVOLVED ARE TRIVIAL
IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS IN
THE GOVERNMENT, THAT IS
ABSOLUTELY TRUE, BUT THE WAY YOU
GET TO $300 BILLION BUDGETS IS
BY VAST ACCUMULATION OF PEOPLE
LOOKING THE OTHER WAY FOR TOO
SMALL AMOUNT TO WORRY ABOUT.
SO YOU HAVE TO SET A CULTURE
THAT SAYS EVERY DOLLAR IS
PRECIOUS.
>> Rosemary: CHANTAL, WHAT DO
YOU THINK OF THIS?
>> I AGREE IT GOES TO CULTURE,
BUT I ALSO THINK THE
GOVERNOR-GENERAL IS NOT SOMEONE
PERFORMING HIS OR HER DUTY FOR A
DOLLAR A YEAR AND UNDER WHICH
CIRCUMSTANCES IT WOULD BE RIGHT
TO PROVIDE ALL OF THE SERVICES.
THIS IS SOMEONE WHO IS OCCUPYING
A POSITION THAT IS WELL PAID.
AND THEN WELL REWARDED A
PENSION.
I DON'T SEE HOW IN THIS DAY AND
AGE, YOU CAN JUSTIFY THE AMOUNTS
AND THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY.
>> SHE HASN'T BEEN THE
GOVERNOR-GENERAL FOR 13 YEARS
AND IS STILL RINGING UP BILLS
OVER $100,000.
THIS CAME OUT IN THE PUBLIC
ACCOUNT AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE
SPENT MORE THAN 100,000 TO BE
LISTED HERE.
SHE'S THE ONLY ONE, ADRIENNE
CLARKSON, WHO HAS SPENT MORE
THAN THAT.
TO BE FAIR, I'M TRYING TO
DIVIDE, DO GOVERNORS-GENERAL
HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE HELP WITH
THE DEMANDS, THE REQUESTS, THE
APPEARANCES THAT CONTINUE TO
FOLLOW THEM VERSUS ADRIENNE
CLARKSON WHO HAS BEEN THE FOCUS,
EVEN WHEN SHE WAS
GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF BEING A
PRETTY BIG SPENDER.
THAT'S THE QUESTION HERE.
IF SHE IS SPENDING THIS MONEY
AND IT'S ON DEALING WITH
REQUESTS THAT ARISE FROM THE
TIME SHE WAS GOVERNOR-GENERAL,
FINE, LET'S SEE IT AND WE'LL
KNOW THE ANSWER.
>> Rosemary: HOW MANY E-MAILS
COULD YOU PROBABLY RECEIVE THAT
YOU NEED A WHOLE STAFF?
SHE IS OUT OF THE COUNTRY, SO
SHE HASN'T ANSWERED THE
QUESTIONS, BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL
GET ANSWERS SOON.
APPRECIATE IT.
BEFORE WE GO, BE SURE TO
SUBSCRIBE TO "AT ISSUE", THE
PODCAST.
THIS WEEK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
BYELECTIONS AND WHY CERTAIN ONES
HAVE YET TO BE CALLED.
>> Ian: STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL", OUR MOMENT OF THE
DAY, MAYBE THE MOMENT OF THE
YEAR FOR CHURCHILL, MANITOBA.
>> I JUST HEARD THIS NOISE THAT
DIDN'T QUITE SIT, BUT IT WAS A
FAMILIAR, YET UNFAMILIAR SOUND.
AND I HEARD THIS ONE, AND BOTH
MY MOM AND I JUST KIND OF PERKED
OUR EARS UP, WHAT WAS THAT?
AND THEN WE HEARD IT AGAIN.
WE BOTH LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND
AT THE SAME TIME SAID, TRAIN.
>> Ian: TONIGHT, A STORY OF
SURVIVAL IN ARIZONA.
A WOMAN HAS BEEN FOUND SIX DAYS
AFTER CRASHING HER CAR IN THE
DESERT.
>> I BELIEVE WE WERE PUT IN THE
RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME.
>> GLAD SHE WAS ALIVE.
>> Ian: THOSE MEN RESCUED THE
53-YEAR-OLD WOMAN.
SHE WAS SEVERELY INJURED AND
MANAGED TO MAKE HER WAY TO A
DRIED OUT RIVERBED AND COLLAPSE.
THAT WAS WHEN A HIGHWAY
MAINTENANCE TEAM FOUND HER AFTER
FOLLOWING HER FOOTPRINTS.
SHE SURVIVED ON GRASS AND WATER.
>>> BRAZIL'S NEW PRESIDENT IS
FOLLOWING DONALD TRUMP'S LEAD.
HE WANT TO MOVE THE COUNTRY'S
EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM.
JAIR BOLSONARO CONFIRMED THE
PLAN, SAYING ISRAEL IS A
SOVEREIGN STATE AND WE SHOULD
DULY RESPECT THAT.
THE EMBASSY WAS OFFICIALLY
TRANSFERRED IN MAY.
>>> MEXICO IS TAKING A STEP TO
LEGALIZE CANNABIS.
THE COUNTRY SUPREME COURT RULED
THE ABSOLUTE BAN ON POT IS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
THAT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY MAKE
POT LEGAL, BUT IT'S THE FIFTH
TIME THE COURT HAS MADE THAT
RULING AND UNDER MEXICAN LAW,
THAT CREATES A PRECEDENT THAT
OTHER COURTS HAVE TO FOLLOW.
OFFICIALS IN THE INCOMING
GOVERNMENT SAID THEY MAY MAKE
CANNABIS LEGAL.
>>> CANADA'S POSTAL WORKERS ARE
ON STRIKE IN 10 CITIES WITH
PICKET LINES LIKE THIS IN NEARLY
EVERY PROVINCE.
IT IS A CONTINUATION OF THE JOB
ACTION BY THE UNION.
IT'S PRESSING FOR BETTER PAY AND
WORKING CONDITIONS.
THE STRIKES ARE HURTING
DELIVERIES.
THERE IS A BACKLOG OF 150
TRAILERS IN TORONTO, MONTREAL,
AND VANCOUVER WITH ITEMS WAITING
TO BE PROCESSED.
>> YOU MAY HAVE SEEN PICTURES
LIKE THESE ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA
FEED LAST SPRING.
THE ART GALLERY OF ONTARIO IS
HOPING TO BRING THE INFINITY
MIRROR ROOM EXHIBIT BACK TO
TORONTO PERMANENTLY.
THEY LAUNCHED A CROWD FUNDING
CAMPAIGN HOPING MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC WOULD RAISE MONEY THEY
NEED TO BUY IT FROM THE ARTIST.
BUT THAT'S NOT THE ONLY
IMMERSIVE EXHIBIT COMING TO
CANADA.
POP-UPS ARE SHOWING UP ALL OVER.
ONE JUST OPENED ITS DOORS IN
TORONTO TODAY.
IT IS CALLED HAPPY PLACE.
AND WE SENT OUR ELI GLASNER TO
CHECK IT OUT.
>> OH!
>> WHAT IS THE HAPPY PLACE?
IT'S A CONFETTI DOME YOU STAND
IN.
A BLOOM ROOM FILLED WITH PLASTIC
FLOWERS.
OR THE COOKIE ROOM THAT HAS A
COOKIE.
ALL DREAMT UP BY A DAD LOOKING
TO DISTRACT HIS KIDS.
>> TWO THINGS, TO FIND THINGS
THAT ARE POSITIVE TO DO WITH MY
CHILDREN, SOMETHING THEY CAN
ENJOY, AND I CAN ENJOY AND TAKE
THEIR FOCUS AWAY FROM
NEGATIVITY.
>> Reporter: WHILE THEY SAY YOU
CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON HAPPINESS,
TICKETS START AT $32.50 BUT IT'S
ALL ABOUT THE IMAGE.
>> IT'S ABOUT PHOTOS AND BEING
VISUAL.
SO IT JUST GIVES YOU SOMETHING
NEW TO SHARE.
SOMETHING THAT IS BRIGHT AND
FUN.
AND PEOPLE LOVE BEING BRIGHT AND
FUN ON INSTAGRAM.
THAT'S THE WAY IT IS.
>> Reporter: THE HAPPY PLACE IS
PART OF A LARGER TREND OF
IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES, FROM THE
MUSEUM OF ICE CREAM TO THE 29
ROOMS INSTALLATION, THE
POPULARITY OF GALLERIES WHERE
ADULTS POSE AND PLAY OFFERS
LESSONS FOR MORE TRADITIONAL
INSTITUTIONS.
>> IF PART OF YOUR QUESTION IS
SAYING CAN WE DEFEND THE OLD
MUSEUM?
HOW DO YOU TURN THEM INTO PLACES
OF LIVING THINGS?
THAT IS CHALLENGING TO
PROGRAMMES AND CURATORS.
>> Reporter: ALTHOUGH THE HAPPY
PLACE DIDN'T PUT A SMILE ON THE
FACE OF THESE FUTURE CURATORS.
>> I THINK WHAT THE HAPPY PLACE
COULD LEARN ABOUT MUSEUMS IS
ACCESSIBILITY.
AND IF WE'RE SAYING THE
COMMODIFIED VERSION OF HAPPINESS
IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE TO HIGHER
CLASS FOLKS THAT CAN AFFORD
THIS.
>> IF THAT IS WHAT HAPPY IS, I
DON'T WANT TO BE HAPPY.
I DON'T WANT TO THINK THAT GOING
TO MY HAPPY PLACE IS BEING
SURROUNDED BY COOKIES.
GOING TO A MUSEUM MAKES ME HAPPY
IN A WAY THAT IS MORE PROFOUND.
YOU HAVE TO GROW.
THAT'S WHAT ART SHOULD BE.
>> Reporter: BUT THE SUCCESS OF
THE ART GALLERY OF INFINITY
MIRRORS EXHIBIT SUBJECTS IN THE
AGE OF THE SELFIE, THE PUBLIC
WANTS TO ENGAGE.
WHETHER IT'S SILLY OR SUBLIME.
>> ONE, TWO, THREE!
>> I WILL GIVE YOU.
NO IT IS STRANGELY CALMING.
ELI GLASNER, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Andrew: I'M NOT A COOKIE GUY
EITHER, BUT THAT DID LOOK FUN.
PLENTY OF PEOPLE IN CHURCHILL,
MANITOBA CALLED THE TRAIN
STATION THEIR HAPPY PLACE LAST
NIGHT.
>> JUBILANCE, PURE JOY.
THERE WAS PEOPLE DOWN THERE
THAT, LIKE ME, AS SOON AS THEY
HEARD THE TOOT OF THE HORN,
RACED DOWN THERE AS QUICK AS
THEY COULD.
A LOT OF THEM WERE
TRICK-OR-TREATING WITH THEIR
KIDS.
AND SO, EVERYBODY WAS DOWN THERE
TO GREET THIS TRAIN.
>> Andrew: THE FULL STORY OF THE
MOMENT THE FIRST TRAIN IN MORE
THAN A YEAR ARRIVED IS OUR
MOMENT.
BUT FIRST...
>> IN CASE YOU MISSED IT,
CANADA'S NEWEST ARCHITECTURAL
GEM OPENED ITS DAY IN CALGARY
CITY CENTRE.
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED WHAT IT
IS.
>> YOUR NEW CENTRAL LIBRARY!
>> Reporter: WRAPPED IN WOOD,
OUTSIDE AND IN AND BATHED IN
LIGHT.
IT EVEN MADE ARCHITECTURAL
DIGEST'S LIST OF TOP STRUCTURES
IN 2018.
>> THIS IS THE MOST FANTASTIC
AWESOME BUILDING I'VE EVER BEEN
IN.
IT'S SUPER-DUPER.
NUMBER ONE.
YOU SHOULD ALL COME DOWN HERE,
IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND.
>> IF YOU THINK LIBRARIES ARE
BUILDINGS WITH BOOKS IN IT,
YOU'RE REALLY OFF PLACE?
>> Andrew: A CONCERT HALL, THIS
IS A NEW KIND OF LIBRARY.
THIS IS NOT A CHILDREN'S
PLAYGROUND.
>> AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE'LL
RUN AFTER THEM AND PLAY WITH THE
TOYS.
>> Andrew: TWO MILLION PEOPLE
ARE EXPECTED TO VISIT THIS
STATE-OF-THE-ART LIBRARY EACH
YEAR.
THE MAYOR SAYS WORTH EVERY
PENNY.
>> BECAUSE EVERY CITIZEN IN OUR
COMMUNITY, RICH OR POOR, HAVING
BEEN ON THE LAND THOUSANDS OF
YEARS, 0 ARRIVED LAST WEEK,
EVERYONE OF US DESERVES BEAUTY,
>> Rosemary: JUST LIKE THAT,
CHURCHILL, MANITOBA, IS BACK ON
TRACK.
A TRAIN ROLLED INTO THE TOWN
LAST NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
MORE THAN A YEAR.
FLOODING DAMAGED THE TRACKS IN
MAY, 2017, SEVERING THE TOWN'S
ONLY LAND LINK TO THE REST OF
THE PROVINCE.
RESIDENTS GATHERED IN THE
STREETS TODAY TO CELEBRATE THE
FIRST TRAIN AND GOT ANOTHER
BOOST WHEN THE PRIME MINISTER
MADE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: THE RAIL LINE IS
EXPECTED TO RESUME ITS REGULAR
OPERATIONS SERVICING BOTH
PASSENGERS AND FREIGHT BY THE
END OF NOVEMBER.
>> Rosemary: THIS IS PART OF
$117 MILLION COMMITMENT FROM THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO BOTH
RESURRECT THE RAIN LINE AND
CANADA'S ONLY DEEP WATER, ARCTIC
PORT.
IF YOU SAW ONE VIDEO FROM
CHURCHILL TODAY, IT WAS PROBABLY
THE ONE JOE STOVER POSTED TO
TWITTER OF THE FIRST TRAIN
ROLLING THROUGH.
AND BECAUSE WE HAVE AMAZING
PRODUCERS, WE MANAGED TO TRACK
HIM DOWN AND TALKING TO HIM
ABOUT HIS REACTION TO HIM ABOUT
ALL OF THIS AND THAT IS OUR
"MOMENT OF THE DAY."
>> SO I HEARD THIS ONE HONK AND
MUM AND I PERKED OUR EARS UP AND
WERE LIKE, WHAT WAS THAT?
AND WE BOTH LOOKED AT EACH OTHER
AND AT THE SAME TIME SAID,
TRAIN.
SO EVERYBODY WAS DOWN THERE TO
GREET THIS TRAIN AND THERE WAS
-- THERE WERE PEOPLE THAT WERE
IN TEARS.
AND THEY WERE CRYING.
AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG
TIME, IT WAS PEOPLE CRYING TEARS
OF JOY.
WELCOME BACK, FELLAS.
IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT WHERE
EVERYBODY WAS TOGETHER AND THE
CREW GOT OFF THE TRAIN AND
PEOPLE WERE HUGGING THEM.
AND JUST WATCHING IT COME IN, IT
REPRESENTED JOBS COMING BACK TO
US EVENTUALLY.
IT REPRESENTED GROCERY PRICES
BEING LOW, GAS GETTING LOW
PRICE-WISE.
AND JUST A RETURN TO NORMAL
LIFE.
AND EVERYBODY'S HAD OUR BACK AND
JUST WANT TO SAY ON BEHALF OF
PEOPLE IN CHURCHILL, THANK YOU
TO MANITOBA, THANK YOU TO
CANADA, FOR CARING AND WE HOPE
TO SEE EVERYBODY UP HERE ON THE
TRAIN SOON.
>> Rosemary: SO YOU SAW THAT
SIGN A COUPLE PLACES, "KNOW
WE'RE HERE."
IT WAS A SLOGAN TO REMIND
EVERYBODY THAT THEY WERE STILL
WAITING.
YOU HEARD JOE TALK ABOUT IT.
THE PRICES FOR EVERYTHING WENT
UP.
BUT THEIR SALARIES DIDN'T GO UP.
AND IF PEOPLE WANTED TO GO TO
WINNIPEG TO BUY THINGS IT, WOULD
COST $1,000 ON A PLANE.
SO THIS IS REALLY AN IMPORTANT
PART OF HOW THEY LIVE AND THIS
WILL BE LIFE-CHANGING FOR THEM.
>> Ian: I GREW UP IN A LITTLE
TOWN.
WHEN I GO BACK HOME, THERE'S
SOMETHING ROMANTIC AND BEAUTIFUL
ABOUT HEARING A TRAIN AS IT
ROLLS THROUGH.
AND YOU HEAR THAT SOUND OF A
TRAIN.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL ANYWAY, BECAUSE
TO IMAGINE THAT THAT IS THE LINK
TO THE REST OF CANADA AND HOW
IMPORTANT IT WAS TO CHURCHILL,
VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND THEIR
REACTION TODAY.
>> Andrew: JUST SO PEOPLE
UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT.
THIS IS A SMALL TOWN, ABOUT 900
PEOPLE.
IT WAS HEARTBREAKING TO THINK
THAT WHILE THIS RAIL LINE WAS
DOWN, PEOPLE LEFT TOWN FOR GOOD
BECAUSE LIFE WAS SO DIFFICULT,
ROSIE, AS YOU POINTED OUT.
THIS IS A PRETTY GOOD, FEEL GOOD
COMMUNITY MOMENT.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR THIS
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Ian: GOOD NIGHT.
