>> Adrienne: ON THIS TUESDAY
NIGHT --
>> MY CHILDREN DON'T HAVE THEIR
GRANDMOTHER.
AND THEY CRY.
THEY LOOK AT PICTURES OF HER AND
THEY CRY.
>> Adrienne: FOR DIABETICS,
INSULIN PUMPS COULD BE
LIFE-CHANGING, BUT IF SOMETHING
GOES WRONG, THE RISKS COULD BE
LIFE-THREATENING.
OUR INVESTIGATION INTO MEDICAL
DEVICES.
>> WE ARE TALKING ABOUT KEEPING
THE PLANT OPEN, PERIOD.
>> Rosemary: POLITICAL PRESSURE
ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER TO
RESPOND TO THE G.M. CUTS.
BUT BEYOND TOUGH TALK, WHAT
SHOULD BE DONE TO HELP WORKERS?
>> SHOULDN'T BE PART OF THE
GAME.
IT'S NOT -- IT SHOULDN'T.
>> Ian: BREAKING THE LOCKER ROOM
SILENCE.
A FORMER NHLER IS TELLING HIS
PERSONAL STORY OF ABUSE AND HE'S
NOT THE ONLY ONE.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
>> Adrienne: OUR INVESTIGATION
INTO THE SAFETY OF MEDICAL
DEVICES AND IMPLANTS HAS CAUGHT
A LOT OF ATTENTION.
SO TONIGHT, WE FOCUS ON THE
DEVICE LINKED TO THE MOST
INJURIES AND DEATHS ACCORDING TO
OUR RESEARCH.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT INSULIN
PUMPS.
THEY'RE MARKETED AS A SAFE AND
CONVENIENT WAY TO MANAGE TYPE 1
DIABETES, REPLACING MULTIPLE
DAILY INJECTIONS.
IN THE PAST DECADE, MORE THAN
100 CANADIANS DIED WHILE WEARING
THE PUMPS.
THAT EXCLUSIVE DATA COMES WITH A
CBC JOINT INVESTIGATION WITH THE
TORONTO STAR AND RADIO-CANADA.
AN ESTIMATED 30,000 CANADIANS
USE INSULIN PUMPS.
THEY'RE MORE POPULAR THAN EVER
NOW THAT PROVINCIAL HEALTH PLANS
PAY FOR THEM.
THE CBC'S VIK ADHOPIA LOOKS AT
THE PERSONAL COSTS WHEN THINGS
GO WRONG.
>> THANK YOU FOR CALLING
MEDTRONIC, 24-HOUR HELP LINE.
MY NAME IS CAROL.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
>> HI.
>> Reporter: THE EERIE LAST
PHONE CALL FROM A DIABETES
PATIENT WITH A MALFUNCTIONING
INSULIN PUMP.
AS THE CALL GOES ON, CHRISTINE
LANDRY STRUGGLES TO REMEMBER HER
DATE OF BIRTH.
MEDTRONIC SAID THEY WILL CALL
BACK IN THE MORNING.
BY THEN, LANDRY IS UNCONSCIOUS
IN A HYPOGLYCEMIC COMA, WEARING
HER INSULIN PUMP.
THE DEVICE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO
KEEP HER BLOOD SUGARS STABLE.
EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD A MEDICAL
HISTORY OF SHARP UPS AND DOWNS.
>> AND THEN THE ENDOCRINOLIGIST
SAID BECAUSE SHE WAS SERIOUS
DIABETIC SHE WAS NOT A CANDIDATE
FOR THE PUMP.
>> Reporter: CHRISTINE LANDRY
NEVER RECOVERED, REMAINING IN A
VEGETATIVE STATE.
LANDRY USED A PUMP AND ACTUALLY
TRAINED USERS FOR MEDTRONIC.
THE THEY SAID THAT LANDRY WAS
NEGLIGENT FOR USING IT
IMPROPERLY.
SAME PUMP, SIMILAR STORY FOR
ANOTHER ONTARIO WOMAN, BRENDA
PEAKER.
A DEADLY DOSE OF INSULIN TOOK
EVERYTHING AWAY.
>> MY CHILDREN DON'T HAVE THEIR
GRANDMOTHER AND THEY CRY.
THEY LOOK AT PICTURES OF HER AND
THEY CRY AND THEY WISH THEY
COULD SEE HER AGAIN.
>> Reporter: SARAH PEAKER AND
HER LAWYER HAVE FAILED A SUIT
CLAIMING THE COMPANY KNEW THAT
HER MODEL OF INSULIN PUMP WAS
FAULTY.
>> I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT
THERE IS RISK.
>> Reporter: DATA WE OBTAINED
FROM HEALTH CANADA SHOWS THAT
SINCE 2008 THERE WERE 103 DEATHS
AND MORE THAN 1,900 INJURIES
INVOLVING INSULIN PUMPS.
ALMOST 6,500 INCIDENTS HAD THE
POTENTIAL FOR INJURY AND DEATH.
DURING THE SAME PERIOD, HEALTH
CANADA ISSUED 40 RECALLS FOR
VARIOUS PUMPS.
THIS ALBERTA ENDOCRINOLOGIST HAS
CONSULTED FOR INSULIN PUMP
MAKERS.
HE SAID THAT PUMP ERRORS ARE
MORE LIKELY USER ERRORS THAN
PUMP FAILURES, BUT CAN'T KNOW
FOR SURE.
THE GROWING POPULARITY COULD
MEAN GROWING RISK.
>> I'VE EXPRESSED MY UNHAPPINESS
IF I FEEL THAT PUMPS ARE BEING
PUSHED TOO HEAVILY IF PATIENTS
HAVEN'T BEEN TRAINED IN MANAGING
THEIR DIABETES.
>> Reporter: MEDTRONIC, WHICH IS
THE BIGGEST PLAYER IN THE
INSULIN PUMP MARKET, SAID THAT
CLINICAL STUDIES SHOW THAT THEY
HELP TO CONTROL DIABETES AND
INCIDENT REPORTS DON'T MEAN
THEIR DEVICES CAUSED HARM.
COMPANIES HAVE TO PROVIDE MORE
DETAILED TESTING DATA BEFORE NEW
PUMPS ARE LICENSED.
AS FOR CHRISTINE LANDRY, AFTER
SIX YEARS IN HER STATE AND
DECLINING HEALTH, IN SEPTEMBER,
HER FAMILY REMOVED LIFE SUPPORT.
SHE WOULD HAVE TURNED 55 TODAY.
VIK ADHOPIA, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA.
>> Adrienne: CBC NEWS HAS
COMPILED AN EXHAUSTIVE DATABASE
ON MEDICAL DEVICES SO YOU CAN
SEARCH FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION
RELEVANT TO YOU.
GO TO CBCNEWS.CA/MEDICALDEVICES.
>> Rosemary: REMARKABLE
JOURNALISM THERE.
>>> WE TURN TO THE LATEST
DEVELOPMENTS IN THE WAKE OF THE
G.M.'S PLANNED CLOSURE IN THE
OSHAWA PLANT.
IT'S ABOUT PEOPLE, PROFITS AND
POLITICS.
THE HEAD OF THE UNION
REPRESENTING AUTO WORKERS IS NOT
GIVING UP.
HE'S ARMING UP.
JERRY DIAS TALKING ABOUT
FIGHTING WITH STRIKES AND
TARIFFS, TOOTH AND NAIL.
THIS AFTER A CLOSED-DOOR MEETING
ON PARLIAMENT HILL WITH PRIME
MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU.
THE CBC'S CATHERINE CULLEN TELLS
US HOW IT PLAYED OUT.
>> Reporter: WHAT DO YOU EXPECT
TO HEAR FROM THE PRIME MINISTER
TODAY?
>> TODAY'S MEETING IS ABOUT
LEADERSHIP.
>> Reporter: BUT JERRY DIAS'S
MEETING WITH THE PRIME MINISTER
IS ALSO ABOUT POLITICS AND
PRESSURE, MAKING A CLAIM THAT NO
POLITICIAN HAS MATCHED -- IT'S
POSSIBLE TO STOP G.M. FROM
CLOSING THE OSHAWA PLANT.
>> IT'S NOT A FAIT ACCOMPLI.
>> Reporter: IT WAS A
CLOSED-DOOR MEETING AND DIAS
LEFT WITH FULL OF TOUGH TALK.
>> IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A
COMPANY THAT WILL SHOW US THEIR
MIDDLE FINGER, WE NEED TO SHOW
THEM OUR MIDDLE FINGER AS WELL.
>> Reporter: HE SAID THAT U.S.
AND CANADA SHOULD CONSIDER
SLAPPING TARIFFS ON G.M.
VEHICLES MADE IN MEXICO.
>> HOW ELSE WILL YOU GET THEIR
ATTENTION?
>> Reporter: THE LIBERALS HAVE
BLASTED DONALD TRUMP'S USE OF
TARIFFS.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: THE ADMINISTRATION'S
CHOICE TO IMPOSE ILLEGAL AND
UNACCEPTABLE TARIFFS.
>> Reporter: WHICH MAKES IT
TOUGH TO AGREE WITH DIAS'S
SUGGESTION.
AND YET --
>> AT THIS TIME, WE HAVE BEEN
CLEAR THAT WE WANT TO EXAMINE
ALL OPTIONS.
>> Reporter: MOSTLY THE LIBERALS
ARE OFFERING GENERALITIES ABOUT
HELPING WORKERS.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: OBVIOUSLY OUR FOCUS IS
ON THE FAMILIES RIGHT NOW.
>> Reporter: BUT SOMETHING LIKE
BETTER EMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
WON'T CUT IT FOR DIAS.
>> WE'RE TALKING ABOUT KEEPING
THE PLANT OPEN, PERIOD.
>> Reporter: DID ANYONE IN THE
PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE DO
ANYTHING TO DISCOURAGE YOU FROM
A WALKOUT OR ANY PLANNED LABOUR
ACTION?
>> I'M NOT CONVINCED THAT
ANYBODY REALLY THINKS THAT THEY
WILL BE ABLE TO STOP WHAT IT IS
THAT WE NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO
PROTECT OUR MEMBERS.
>> Reporter: DIAS ONLY HAS TO
KEEP UNION MEMBERS HAPPY.
THE LIBERALS WANT TO KEEP HIM AS
AN ALLEY WITHOUT ALIENATING
ANYONE THAT MAY DISAGREE WITH
HIM.
THAT MEANS, RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE
NOT SAYING MUCH EXCEPT, WE'RE
LISTENING.
CATHERINE CULLEN, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> Rosemary: THE WHITE HOUSE IS
TAKING AN AGGRESSIVE APPROACH TO
G.M. JOB LOSSES.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SENT OUT
THIS TWEET TODAY --
>> Rosemary: G.M. SHARES DROPPED
2.5% ON THE STOCK MARKET TODAY.
SO LOTS OF POLITICAL RHETORIC ON
BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER.
I'M JOINED BY CBC'S SENIOR
BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT, PETER
ARMSTRONG.
LET'S START WITH THIS COUNTRY.
CAN THE PRIME MINISTER, JERRY
DIAS OR ANYONE ELSE DO ANYTHING
TO STOP THIS?
>> Reporter: THE SHORT ANSWER
IS, NO.
ONCE YOU STRIP OUT THE POLITICS
OF IT, THE ECONOMICS ARE BRUTAL.
THE PLANT IS TOO BIG, TOO EMPTY
AND IT'S BEEN WINDING DOWN FOR
YEARS.
GO BACK TO 2003, G.M. WAS
PRODUCING NEARLY ONE MILLION
VEHICLES A YEAR OUT OF OSHAWA.
LAST YEAR, IT MADE JUST 125,000.
THE PLANT THERE IS LIKE ONE
MILLION SQUARE FEET.
SO YOU NEED TO PRODUCE 600,000
CARS TO WARRANT AN OPERATION
THAT BIG.
HOW COULD YOU SAVE IT?
WE'VE HAD PEOPLE TALK ABOUT
MOVING PRODUCTION HERE FROM
SOMEWHERE ELSE.
THE QUESTION IS -- ARE WE SAYING
THAT G.M. WOULD GO TELL TRUMP
THAT THEY'RE GOING TO CLOSE DOWN
TWO MORE U.S. PLANTS JUST TO
MOVE THOSE OPERATIONS TO OSHAWA
TO MAKE JUSTIN TRUDEAU HAPPY?
THAT'S JUST NOT IN THE CARDS.
>> Rosemary: PARTICULARLY THAT
HE'S ALREADY THREATENED TO PULL
A SUBSIDY ON G.M.
WOULD THAT IMPACT THEIR
DECISION?
>> Reporter: NOT REALLY.
ON THE ONE HAND, THERE ARE JUST
NOT A LOT OF SUBSIDIES AT PLAY
HERE.
ON THE OTHER, G.M. IS SAYING
THAT IT WILL SAVE THE COMPANY $6
BILLION A YEAR.
SO THAT WILL OFFSET ANY LOSSES
THEY FACE FROM THE SUBSIDIES.
>> Rosemary: AT THE END OF THE
DAY, WHAT DOES THIS DECISION
MEAN FOR THE BROADER CANADIAN
ECONOMY AND WHAT IS HAPPENING IN
ALBERTA, FOR INSTANCE?
>> Reporter: IT'S A REALLY GOOD
QUESTION.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO ZOOM OUT.
POLITICIANS CAN'T DO THAT.
IT'S SO HARD ON PEOPLE.
IT'S SO EMOTIONALLY DIFFICULT.
FAMILIES, RETIREMENT PLANS,
THROWN INTO DISARRAY.
IF YOU CAN TAKE A DETACHED
APPROACH, THE AUTO SECTOR
REPRESENTS ABOUT 1% CANADIAN
G.D.P.
OIL AND GAS 6.8%.
AUTO SECTOR HAS A LOT MORE
SPINOFFS, STEAL INDUSTRY, FOR
EXAMPLE, BUT OIL'S IMPACT IS WAY
BIGGER.
IN 2014, WHEN OIL COLLAPSED, IT
HIT THE ECONOMY LONGER AND
LASTED LONGER THAN EVEN THE BANK
OF CANADA EXPECTED.
>> Rosemary: PETER, THANKS FOR
THIS TONIGHT.
>> Reporter: YOU BET.
>> Rosemary: THAT'S THE BIGGER
PICTURE.
BEHIND ALL THE NUMBERS ARE
PEOPLE WITH BILLS TO PAY AND
MOUTHS TO FEED.
WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE
FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE LOSING
THEIR JOBS?
JACQUELINE HANSEN SPOKE WITH ONE
G.M. EMPLOYEE TODAY ABOUT HOW
SHE'S FEELING.
>> Reporter: FOR 16 YEARS,
NADINE BALDRY HAS DEDICATED
HERSELF TO THE OSHAWA PLANT,
LEARNING EVERYTHING SHE CAN
ABOUT ASSEMBLING VEHICLES.
>> I LOVE IT.
I DIDN'T FURTHER MYSELF TO
EDUCATE MYSELF OR GO TO SCHOOL
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT BECAUSE I
NEVER THOUGHT THIS DAY WOULD
COME.
>> Reporter: NOW THAT THE PLANT
IS CLOSING, SHE'S AFRAID HER
EXPERIENCE WON'T DO HER MUCH
GOOD ANYWHERE ELSE.
>> THE KNOWLEDGE WE LEARN IN THE
FACTORY, WE CANNOT TAKE OUT OF
THE FACTORY.
ITS NOT A CERTIFICATE THAT
ANOTHER COMPANY WILL RECOGNIZE.
>> Reporter: SOME EXPERTS SAY
AFFECTED WORKERS COULD FIND
OPPORTUNITIES IN OTHER
INDUSTRIES, SINCE CANADA'S
ECONOMY AND JOB MARKET ARE
STRONG.
>> WE DO SEE SOME AREAS OF
MANUFACTURING SECTOR WHERE JOB
OPENINGS ARE HIGHER THAN IN AUTO
PRODUCTION.
SO, FOR EXAMPLE, PRODUCING
FABRICATED METAL PRODUCTS,
MACHINERY.
>> Reporter: STILL, IT TAKES
UNEMPLOYED CANADIANS AN
AVERAGE OF 5 MONTHS TO FIND A
NEW JOB.
AND FACTORY WORK THAT PAYS AS
WELL AS G.M., WON'T BE EASY TO
COME BY.
>> IT WILL BE CHALLENGING FOR
WHAT COMES NEXT TO REALLY MAKE
UP FOR WHAT'S BEEN LOST.
>> Reporter: BALDRY FLIPS FROM
OPTIMISM --
>> ONE MINUTE I'M LIKE, YEAH,
IT'S A NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR ME,
TRYING TO THINK POSITIVE.
>> Reporter: TO INTENSE WORRY,
FOR HERSELF AND HER TWO
DAUGHTERS.
>> WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
WHO WILL HIRE ME?
I'M 43 YEARS OLD.
I'VE BEEN WORKING IN A FACTORY.
>> Reporter: FORCED OUT OF THE
CAREER SHE THOUGHT WOULD BE A
SAFE CHOICE, CAUGHT IN AN
INDUSTRY IN THE MIDst OF A MAJOR
SHIFT.
BALDRY'S LEFT BEHIND BY G.M. TO
WONDER WHAT COMES NEXT.
JACQUELINE HANSEN, CBC NEWS,
OSHAWA.
>> Ian: WHEN NEWS BROKE OF THE
ABUSE ALLEGATIONS AT ST.
MICHAEL'S COLLEGE SCHOOL, THE
IMPACT WENT BEYOND THE PRIVATE
TORONTO SCHOOL.
FOR FORMER NHLER DANIEL CARCILLO
IT WAS THE LAST STRAW.
CARCILLO SAID HE SUFFERED ABUSE
AT THE HANDS OF HIS TEAMMATES
WHEN HE WAS A JUNIOR HOCKEY
PLAYER.
NOW HE'S SPEAKING OUT AND OTHERS
ARE JOINING HIM.
AS IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS EXPLAINS,
IT'S AN AWAKENING OF SORTS FOR
ATHLETES CONFRONTING DEGRADING
RITUALS THAT HAVE LEFT SCARS.
>> ONE OF THE MOST VIVID
MEMORIES THAT STANDS OUT IS ONE
OF MY TEAMMATES BEING TAPED
TO A TABLE, ASS UP, NAKED, BEING
WHIPPED WITH HIS OWN BELT.
HE WAS SCREAMING.
>> Reporter: WHEN DAN CARCILLO
UNLEASHED HIS MEMORIES, HE
UNLEASHED HIS DEMONS, TOO.
>> I FEEL SICK TO MY STOMACH
TALKING ABOUT THIS STUFF,
SWEATY, HANDS ARE CLAMMY, SHAKY
A LITTLE BIT.
I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THE
TRUTH.
>> Reporter: THE TRUTH, HE SAYS,
OF THE ABUSE HE AND HIS FELLOW
TEAMMATES ENDURED, AS ROOKIE
PLAYERS IN THE ONTARIO HOCKEY
LEAGUE, DISCLOSED ON TWITTER.
UNSPOOLING A RAW REEL OF
FLASHBACKS, LIKE THE TIME ON THE
BUS WHEN THEY WERE STRIPPED
NAKED, STUFFED INTO A TINY
BATHROOM AND SPIT ON THROUGH THE
VENTS.
>> I CAN REMEMBER ONE OF THE
GUYS HYPERVENTILATING.
AND WE WERE BASHING ON THE DOOR.
AND I WAS JUST YELLING, LIKE,
THIS GUY IS HYPERVENTILATING.
WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE.
AND THEY FINALLY OPENED IT AND
I CAME OUT SWINGING.
>> Reporter: THE DAILY BEATINGS
WITH SAWED-OFF GOALIE STICKS,
THE DEGRADATION WAS A RITUAL.
COACHES, HE SAYS, TURNED A BLIND
EYE, UNTIL HE THREATENED TO
LEAVE.
AND HE NEVER TOLD ANYONE, EVEN
HIS PARENTS.
HE SHARED HIS MOM'S ANGUISH
TODAY.
>> TODAY WAS REALLY HARD.
THAT TEXT FROM MY MOM KILLED ME,
YOU KNOW?
YOU CAN'T GO TO YOUR PARENTS
WITH THIS BECAUSE YOU WANT TO
GET TO THE NHL, YOU KNOW?
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LET A BULLY
OR AN ABUSER STOP YOU.
I WASN'T.
>> Reporter: CARCILLO SAYS THE
LEAGUE DID MAKE CHANGES WHEN HE
SPOKE OUT.
AND HE WENT ON TO TAKE HIS RAGE
OUT ON THE ICE, AS AN NHL
ENFORCER.
HE THOUGHT HE HAD BURIED IT ALL
UNTIL HE HEARD ABOUT THE SEXUAL
ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS AT ST.
MICHAEL'S COLLEGE IN TORONTO.
>> WE NEED TO STOP USING TERMS
LIKE HAZING BECAUSE I THINK IT
OPENS THE DOOR TO JUSTIFICATION.
ABUSE IS ABUSE.
>> Reporter: FORMER NHL GOALIE
RYAN MUNCE RETIRED EARLY.
HE RUNS A GOALIE SCHOOL NOW.
HE AND CARCILLO WERE ROOKIE
TEAMMATES.
THE ABUSE, HE SAYS, MADE HIM
SUICIDAL.
>> I HAD MORE SUICIDAL THOUGHTS
THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
I REALLY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.
THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR
FRIENDS, KIND OF YOUR FAMILY.
IT'S TOUGH FOR YOU EMOTIONALLY
AND MENTALLY AND YOU ARE
SUPPOSED TO KEEP QUIET, BECAUSE,
WELL, YOU ARE IN THE HOCKEY
COMMUNITY.
>> Reporter: EXPERTS SAY THE
HIGH-PROFILE DISCLOSURES MAY
SIGNAL AN ERA OF RECKONING IN
THE ATHLETIC WORLD, THE START OF
THE "ME TOO" MOMENT.
>> KEEP THE LID ON THINGS TO
KEEP THINGS COVERED UP SERVES NO
ONE.
IT ADVANCES NOTHING.
QUITE THE OPPOSITE, REPRODUCES
THE CYCLES OF VIOLENCE THAT
HAPPENS TO ATHLETES IN SPORT.
>> Reporter: THE ONLY WAY TO
BREAK THE CYCLE, CARCILLO SAYS,
IS TO CALL IT OUT.
BECAUSE THE DEMONS, HE SAYS,
WILL JUST LIE IN WAIT.
IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: BRITISH PRIME
MINISTER THERESA MAY HAS EXACTLY
TWO WEEKS BEFORE PARLIAMENT
VOTES ON HER BREXIT PLAN, SO
SHE'S ON A LAST-MINUTE DASH TO
CONVINCE THE PUBLIC HER DEAL IS
THE RIGHT ONE.
MAY IS MEETING WITH SMALL
BUSINESS PEOPLE AT A COUNTRY
FAIR IN WALES AND IN NORTHERN
IRELAND ATTENDING A ROUNDTABLE
ON ITS FUTURE AFTER BREXIT.
MEANWHILE, DOZENS OF ACTIVISTS
FROM THROUGHOUT THE U.K. TOOK A
MESSAGE OF THEIR OWN TO
PARLIAMENT.
YOUNG PEOPLE STREAMED INTO
WESTMINSTER TO CALL FOR A PUBLIC
VOTE ON THE FINAL BREXIT DEAL.
NAHLAH AYED EXPLAINS WHAT THEY
HAVE AT STAKE.
>> Reporter: THEY COME FROM
AROUND THE COUNTRY WITH THEIR
BEST ARGUMENTS AND A LOT OF
HOPE.
TO LEND THEIR NAMES TO THE CALL,
TO THE PLEA TO TURN THE BREXIT
BUS AROUND.
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF TIME LEFT.
>> WE'RE LOSING OUR FREEDOMS AND
BENEFITS AND MAKING THE ECONOMY
POORER, WHICH MAKES THINGS
HARDER AS WELL.
>> Reporter: THEY FELT CHEATED
BY THE BREXIT VOTE.
WITH A DRAFT BREXIT DEAL, THEY
FEEL THREATENED.
LIKE THESE GUYS FROM NORTHERN
IRELAND.
>> WE'RE ALL CHILDREN OF THE
PEACE PROCESS AND WE'VE SEEN A
PROSPEROUS AND PEACEFUL SOCIETY
THAT WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE.
ON A DEAL THAT WE BELIEVE IS
COBBLED TOGETHER AND IS AN
ABSOLUTE DISASTER.
>> Reporter: OF ALL THE DIVIDING
LINES BREXIT CREATED, AGE WAS A
BIG ONE.
THE YOUNGER, THE MORE LIKELY TO
HAVE VOTED TO REMAIN.
AS PARLIAMENT PREPARES TO VOTE
ON A DEAL TO LEAVE, THEY WALKED
OVER TO BE HERD FOR A SYMBOLIC
LOBBY TAKEOVER.
>> TODAY IS SENDING A STRONG
MESSAGE TO PARLIAMENTARIANS THAT
THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY, THE
FUTURE VOTERS, DON'T WANT THE
VOTE ON THE TABLE AND DON'T WANT
BREXIT, PERIOD.
>> Reporter: INSIDE, THERE IS
OCCASIONAL MENTION OF "YOUNG
PEOPLE."
>> THERE ARE MILLIONS OF YOUNG
PEOPLE OUT THERE --
>> YOUNG PEOPLE --
>> AND I THINK MANY YOUNG PEOPLE
IN OUR COUNTRY THINK IT'S A GOOD
DEAL FOR BRITAIN.
>> Reporter: WHAT'S MISSING IS
NUANCE ABOUT THE IMPACT.
HALF HER SALES ARE IN EUROPE AND
SO IS PART OF HER IDENTITY.
>> I THINK PRE-BREXIT, THERE WAS
A SENSE THAT WE HAD
RESPONSIBILITIES.
THE NARRATIVE IS SO NEGATIVE AND
TALKING ABOUT IT AS WELL, IT'S
JUST CREATING A HOSTILE
ENVIRONMENTAL AND ATMOSPHERE AND
IT IMPACTS YOUNG PEOPLE A LOT.
>> Reporter: THERE IS A PUSH FOR
A NEW VOTE AND POLLS SUGGEST
THAT REMAIN WOULD EDGE AHEAD
PARTLY BECAUSE OF YOUNGER
VOTERS.
>> IF THERE WAS A REFERENDUM,
THERE WOULD BE VOTERS THAT
DIDN'T HAVE THE CHANCE TO VOTE
IN THE LAST REFERENDUM IN 2016
AND WOULD BE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE
BECAUSE THEY'VE BECOME AT LEAST
18 YEARS OLD.
THAT GROUP, LIKE ALL THE OTHER
YOUNGER VOTERS, NOW TELL US THAT
THAT VOTE REMAIN.
>> Reporter: SOME OF THEM ARE
STILL NOT OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE,
BUT OLD ENOUGH TO WORRY.
NAHLAH AYED, CBC NEWS, LONDON.

NATIONAL" FOLLOWING DEVELOPING
STORIES, INCLUDING THE TRAGIC
DEATH OF A MOTHER AND HER
10-MONTH-OLD IN YUKON.
THEY WERE KILLED BY A GRIZZLY
WALKING NEAR THEIR REMOTE CABIN.
THE HUSBAND OF VALERIE THEORET
WAS ALSO ATTACKED BY THE BEAR.
WHEN HE RETURNED HOME YESTERDAY.
HE SHOT AND KILLED IT AND THEN
FOUND THE BODIES OF HIS WIFE AND
CHILD.
THE COUPLE WAS RUNNING A TRAP
LINE NEAR THE YUKON-NORTHWEST
TERRITORIES BORDER.
>>> CANADA POST EMPLOYEES HAVE
ENDED FIVE WEEKS OF ROTATING
STRIKES.
THE UNION SAID THEY'RE STILL
PLANNING WHAT THEY DESCRIBE AS
DEMONSTRATIONS AND NONVIOLENT
CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE.
CANADA POST SAYS THAT DELAYS

STRETCH INTO MARCH OF NEXT YEAR
BUT LETTERS SLOWED DOWN BY
STRIKES SHOULD MAKE IT BEFORE
CHRISTMAS.

BRING ELECTRICITY AND JOBS TO A
REMOTE COMMUNITY IN NORTHERN
ONTARIO.
WE'LL TAKE AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT
WHAT'S REALLY AT STAKE.

ATTENTION AROUND THE WORLD,
STUCK IN LIMBO IN A MALAYSIAN
AIRPORT FOR MONTHS.
WE CATCH UP WITH THE SYRIAN
REFUGEE ON HIS FIRST DAY HERE IN
CANADA.
>> Rosemary: AND A LITTLE LATER,
THE QUICK-THINKING KIDS THAT
SAVED THEIR GRANDMOTHER'S LIFE.
>> I WAS GOING TO ASK HER FOR A
SNACK, BUT SHE DIDN'T ANSWER, SO
I LOOKED OVER AND SHE WAS --
>> UNCONSCIOUS.
>> AND ON THE COUCH.
>> Rosemary: SINCE THE INITIAL
HIGH OF LEGALIZATION DAY,
CANADA'S CANNABIS INDUSTRY HAS
BEEN ON A ROLLER COASTER RIDE,
WITH SOME COMPANIES FACING
SUPPLY ISSUES, DELAYS IN
LICENSING AND PERMITTING AND A
FICKLE STOCK MARKET.
OVERALL, THE SECTOR IS STILL
GROWING.
AS AARON SALTZMAN EXPLAINS, IT'S
TO DO WITH A NEW TYPE OF TECH
BOOM.
>> Reporter: IT STILL LOOKS LIKE
THE BUD THAT WAS GROWN IN
BASEMENTS AND BACKYARDS, BUT
THIS GROW-OP IS FAR MORE
SOPHISTICATED.
HERE REMOTE SENSORS MONITOR
TEMPERATURES, LIGHT INTENSITY,
NUTRIENT LEVELS.
THEY KNOW EVEN HOW WELL THE SOIL
CONDUCTS ELECTRICITY.
>> IT TELLS YOU EXACTLY WHAT YOU
NEEDED TO KNOW ALL THE TIME SO
YOU GUARANTEE THAT YOUR PLANTS
WILL YIELD AND YOU WILL GET A
GOOD PRODUCT.
>> Reporter: THE SENSORS ARE THE
BRAINCHILD OF BRAINGRID.
FOUNDED IN 2012, ITS DEVICES
WERE ORIGINALLY USED TO MONITOR
ENERGY FROM SOLAR PANELS.
LEGALIZATION OFFERED A MUCH MORE
LUCRATIVE OPPORTUNITY.
>> WE HAVE TO PIVOT INTO WHAT WE
BELIEVE IS CENTRE STAGE FOR
CANADA AS A LEADER GLOBALLY
SPEAKING.
CANNABIS IS ONE OF THE BEST
EXAMPLES OF WHERE CANADA IS
ACTUALLY LEADING THE WORLD.
>> Reporter: BRAINGRID EXPECTS
TO GO PUBLIC BY THE END OF THE
YEAR, ONE OF AT LEAST 13
CANADIAN CANNABIS-RELATED
TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES TRADING ON
NORTH AMERICAN EXCHANGES.
IT'S A NEW TECH BOOM, SPARKED
BY THE EXPLOSIVE GROWTH OF
CANNABIS PRODUCERS.
THERE ARE MORE THAN 130
COMPANIES GROWING WEED LEGALLY
IN CANADA, ALL OF THEM FIGHTING
TO IMPROVE QUALITY, INCREASE
PRODUCTION, AND LOWER COST.
>> IN ORDER TO HIT THE PRICE
POINTS THAT PRODUCERS WILL HAVE
TO HIT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF
YEARS, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
USE TECHNOLOGY TO MANAGE THEIR
PROCESSES.
>> Reporter: BRAD POULOS TEACHES
THE BUSINESS OF CANNABIS AT
RYERSON UNIVERSITY.
WITH MORE AND MORE PRODUCERS
FIGHTING FOR MARKET SHARE,
COMPANIES THAT SUPPORT THEM MAY
BE THE SMARTER PLAY.
>> YOU GO BACK 100 SOME YEARS TO
THE GOLD RUSH, THE PEOPLE THAT
MADE THE MONEY WERE THE PEOPLE
THAT SOLD THE PICK, AXES,
SHOVELS AND PANS, NOT SO MUCH
THE PEOPLE SCOUTING FOR GOLD.
>> Reporter: THAT'S WHAT
BRAINGRID IS COUNTING ON.
>> THE RED LINE IS SHOWING THE
PREDICTION THAT OUR ALGORITHMS
MADE.
>> Reporter: THE NEXT STEP,
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, SO
SENSORS WILL BE ABLE TO PREDICT
A PROBLEM WITH A CROP AND FIX IT
BEFORE IT HAPPENS.
A HIGH-TECH PICK AND SHOVEL FOR
THIS MODERN-DAY GOLD RUSH.

BURLINGTON, ONTARIO.
>> Adrienne: UP NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL," WE'LL TAKE TO YOU A
REMOTE COMMUNITY IN NORTHERN
ONTARIO, ONE OF THE FEW IN
CANADA STILL WITHOUT RELIABLE
ELECTRICITY.
WHY WHAT'S AT STAKE IS MORE THAN
JUST ABOUT POWER.
>> Reporter: IF YOU GOT A JOB ON
THE POWERLINE, WHAT IT MEAN TO
>> Adrienne: THE VAST MAJORITY
OF CANADIANS ARE ABLE TO TAKE
ELECTRICITY FOR GRANTED, BUT
THIS COUNTRY IS ALSO HOME TO
HUNDREDS OF RURAL AND REMOTE
COMMUNITIES AND MANY OF THEM ARE
STILL OFF THE GRID.
PEOPLE THERE FEEL POWERLESS,
HAVING TO RELY ON UNRELIABLE
SOURCES OF ENERGY TO LIGHT AND
HEAT THEIR HOMES.
BUT THERE IS A POWER SHIFT
HAPPENING IN NORTHERN ONTARIO.
SO OUR NICK PURDON TAKES US TO A
COMMUNITY ABOUT 500 KILOMETRES
NORTH OF THUNDER BAY.
(*)
>> Reporter: IT'S HARD TO
BELIEVE THAT IN 2018 THERE ARE
ENTIRE COMMUNITIES IN NORTHERN
ONTARIO THAT DON'T HAVE RELIABLE
POWER.
THEY RUN ON DIESEL GENERATORS.
IMAGINE LIVING IN A PLACE WHERE
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH POWER TO
HOOK UP NEW HOUSES OR PROVIDE
RELIABLE HEALTHCARE AND THERE
ARE SO MANY BLACKOUTS IT CAN
TAKE AN EXTRA YEAR TO FINISH
HIGH SCHOOL.
THERE'S A PLAN TO CHANGE THAT.
>> I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL IT STARTS
SO THAT I CAN HOPEFULLY GET A
JOB ON IT AND START WORKING ON
IT.
>> BE ABLE TO TELL MY KIDS, DAD
HELPED TO BUILD THAT, BUILD THAT
POWERLINE.
(*)
>> KINGFISHER LAKE FIRST NATION
IN NORTHERN ONTARIO, THE ONLY
WAY TO GET IN AND OUT OF HERE IS
BY PLANE.
USUALLY IF THE MEDIA VISITS,
IT'S BECAUSE OF SOME KIND OF
CRISIS.
NOT THIS TIME.
A $1.6 BILLION PROJECT WILL
BRING POWER HERE.
IT MEANS HUNDREDS OF JOBS.
AND FOR A PLACE LIKE KINGFISHER
LAKE, IT MEANS HOPE.

THE SUN'S BARELY UP AND OUTSIDE
THE HOTEL, I MEET GREG SMITH.
GREG IS HERE BECAUSE OF THE
POWERLINE, TOO.
>> I'M JUST HAVING MY CUP OF
COFFEE FOR THE MORNING, GETTING
READY, GETTING STUFF TOGETHER
AND HEAD DOWN TO THE CLASSROOM
IN ABOUT A HALF-HOUR.
>> Reporter: GREG IS A TRAINER.
HE'S HERE TO HELP THE PEOPLE OF
KINGFISHER HAVE A FAIR SHOT OF
GETTING A JOB ON THE
TRANSMISSION PROJECT.
>> THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A
JOB.
THE POINT OF THE COURSE IS THAT
YOU GUYS GET A JOB.
>> Reporter: THE TWO-WEEK COURSE
FOCUSES ON WORK READINESS.
IN A PLACE WHERE TRAINING OF ANY
KIND RARELY HAPPENS AND
UNEMPLOYMENT IS MAJOR PROBLEM,
THIS IS A BIG DEAL.
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
>> THE REALITY IS, THE POWERLINE
SHOULD BE THERE FOR AT LEAST 100
YEARS.
TO ME, THAT SAYS THAT YOU CAN
HAVE OF A JOB.
YOUR KIDS CAN HAVE A JOB, AND
YOUR GRANDKIDS CAN HAVE A JOB.
>> Reporter: OF COURSE THE
TRAINING DOESN'T GUARANTEE A
JOB, BUT FOR EACH OF THE 13
TRAINEES, THERE'S HOPE.
THE STAKES ARE PARTICULARLY HIGH
FOR ANTHONY BEGG.
>> IT'S A SECOND CHANCE TO
EVOLVE MY LIFE AGAIN.
>> Reporter: ANTHONY'S STORY IS
PRETTY TYPICAL HERE.
HE DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL PART
WAY THROUGH GRADE 11.
>> I DIDN'T FINISH.
IN MY TEENAGE YEARS, I WAS HEAVY
INTO MY ADDICTION, DRINKING AND
DOING DRUGS, ALL THAT STUPID
STUFF.
>> Reporter: ANTHONY ENDED UP IN
JAIL FOR ASSAULT, NOT AN
UNFAMILIAR STORY EITHER, WHEN
YOU CONSIDER INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
MAKE UP 5% OF CANADA'S
POPULATION, BUT 27% OF ITS
INMATES.
FOR ANTHONY, HE TELLS ME THAT
JAIL CHANGED HIM FOR THE BETTER.
>> IT GAVE ME A LOT OF THOUGHTS
ABOUT MY FUTURE.
I WAS THINKING IN THERE, WRITING
POETRY, READING.
AND I LOOKED AROUND AT MY
SURROUNDINGS AND THOUGHT TO
MYSELF, I DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE
THESE PEOPLE.
>> Reporter: IF YOU GOT A JOB ON
THE POWERLINE, WHAT WOULD IT
MEAN TO YOU?
>> IT WOULD MEAN TO ME THAT I'M
WORTH SOMETHING.
I WOULD BE HOPEFUL FOR MY
FUTURE.
(*)
>> Reporter: IF THIS PROJECT CAN
GIVE HOPE TO A GUY LIKE ANTHONY,
I REALISE IT'S NOT ONLY ABOUT
ELECTRICITY.
>> YOU GUYS HAVE A GREAT
OPPORTUNITY RIGHT NOW.
ALL THE STUFF WE'RE TEACHING
YOU, IT CAN REALLY BRING A JOB.
>> Reporter: GREG IS AS MUCH A
CHEERLEADER AS A TRAINER.
MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE
TRAINEES NEED.
>> I'M SO IMPRESSED.
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.
WHY NOT HIRE 13 GUYS FROM THE
COMMUNITY THAT WANT TO WORK?
>> Reporter: GREG REPRESENTS THE
PUSH TO EMPLOY LOCAL PEOPLE ON
THE POWERLINE PROJECT.
IF THE TRAINEES DO WELL HERE,
THERE IS MORE OPPORTUNITY.
(*)
A 4-MONTH COURSE IN THUNDER BAY.
THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE FROM THE
FIRST NATION COMMUNITIES IN
NORTHERN ONTARIO TRAIN TO PUT
POLES IN THE GROUND.
ALL IN ALL, 1,800 KILOMETRES OF
POWERLINE WILL HAVE TO BE RUN
NORTH.
>> CURTIS.
>> HOW'S IT GOING?
>> GOING GOOD NOW.
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> WE'RE GOING TO GO UP THE
POLE.
WE HAVE TO DRILL SOME HOLES UP
THERE.
>> Reporter: CURTIS RAY HAS A
LOT RIDING ON THIS COURSE.
HE MOVED HIS ENTIRE FAMILY 500
KILOMETRES SOUTH TO BE HERE.
CURTIS TELLS ME THIS IS HIS
CHANCE.
>> I WAS PRETTY HAPPY WHEN I GOT
THE NEWS.
I TOLD MY GIRLFRIEND AND SHE
TOLD OUR FAMILY AND WE SAID,
OKAY, WE'RE GOING MOVE OUT.
>> Reporter: AND WHAT DO YOU
WANT TO DO WITH THIS TRAINING?
>> I WANT TO START A CAREER AND
HOPEFULLY HELP WITH THE PROJECT
UP NORTH.
>> Reporter: WHAT WOULD IT MEAN
TO BE ON THE CREW THAT BRINGS
POWER TO YOUR COMMUNITY?
>> I WOULD DEFINITELY BE PROUD.
IT'S SOMETHING I CAN TELL MY
KIDS THAT DAD HELPED BUILD.
IT WOULD PUT A SMILE ON THEIR
FACE.
>> Reporter: THERE'S ANOTHER
REASON FOR CURTIS TO BE PROUD.
THE FIRST NATIONS IN THE NORTH
WILL OWN 51% OF THE POWERLINE.
>> WE TRY TO WORK WITHIN THE
TIMELINES.
>> Reporter: MARGARET
KENEQUANASH IS THE C.E.O. OF THE
FIRST NATION COMPANY,
WATAYNIKANEYAP POWER.
FOR HER, IT'S A BLUEPRINT FOR
THE FUTURE.
>> OUR YOUTH WANT EMPLOYMENT,
IMPROVED LIVING CONDITIONS.
NOT ONLY THAT, THEY WANT HOPES
FOR OPPORTUNITIES.
>> Reporter: THERE'S A LOT OF
WORK TO DO.
MARGARET MEETS REGULARLY WITH
EXECUTIVES FROM THE PARTNER
COMPANY, FORTIS ONTARIO.
>> Reporter: HOW DO WE ENSURE
THAT TRAINING TAKES PLACE WITHIN
EACH OF THE FIRST NATIONS?
>> Reporter: MARGARET IS FROM
ONE OF THE COMMUNITIES IN THE
NORTH THAT RUNS ON GENERAL
RELIABLE DIESEL GENERATORS AND
SHE'S BEEN TRYING TO FIX THE
PROBLEM FOR 10 YEARS.
ONE OF THE THINGS SHE TELLS ME
SHE'S FOUGHT FOR ALL ALONG IS
TRAINING FOR HER PEOPLE.
WHEN YOU SEE THE YOUNG PEOPLE
BEING TRAINED, WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT?
>> HOPE.
KEEPING THE COMMUNITY INTACT AND
FAMILIES INTACT ARE ALSO PART OF
THE OVERALL VISION AND ALSO NOT
RELYING ON, YOU KNOW, THE SOCIAL
-- THE WELFARE, YOU KNOW.
WE'VE -- WE WERE NEVER ON
WELFARE IN THE PAST.
WE WERE HARD WORKERS.
WE LIVED OFF THE LAND.
AND WE HAD GOOD WORK ETHICS AND
THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE
NEED TO REVITALIZE TO HELP OUR
YOUNG ONES RECOGNIZE, THIS IS
WHERE WE NEED TO GO.
>> Reporter: THAT'S WHY FOR
MARGARET, THE TRAINING IN
KINGFISHER LAKE IS KEY TO THE
PLAN.
SHE WANTS TO BE SURE THAT PEOPLE
DON'T JUST HAVE JOBS, BUT
CAREERS IN THEIR OWN
COMMUNITIES.
>> YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT.
BECAUSE YOU GOT HAVE TO BE
TRAINED.
>> Reporter: BACK ON THE GROUND,
THE CHALLENGES REMAIN CLEAR.
TODAY'S CLASS FOCUSES ON THE
BASICS.
>> WHEN WE SAY 9:00 IN THE
MORNING, WHAT HAVE WE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT ALL WEEK LONG?
9:00 MEANS SITTING AT YOUR DESK
AT 9:00, READY TO GO, RIGHT,
JARED?
>> Reporter: IT'S TRAINER TIM
O'BRIEN'S TURN TO TEACH.
HE TREATS THE CLASSROOM LIKE A
WORKPLACE, WHERE HE'S THE TOUGH
BOSS.
>> I'M TRYING TO PREPARE YOU
PEOPLE FOR THE INDUSTRIAL WORK
FORCE THAT YOU WILL BE IN VERY
SHORTLY AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO
IS GET THAT DRILLED INTO YOU SO
THAT IT'S SECOND NATURE.
>> Reporter: TIM TELLS ME HE
WORRIES ABOUT THE PREJUDICE THE
TRAINEES WILL BE UP AGAINST IF
THEY GET JOBS.
HE KNOWS BECAUSE HE HAD TO GET
OVER HIS OWN.
>> I THOUGHT THEY WERE ALL LAZY
AND I DIDN'T LIKE THAT.
I SAID, THEY'RE NOT.
I KNOW PEOPLE.
SO I HAVE TO GO FIND OUT WHAT'S
HOLDING THEM BACK.
>> Reporter: DO YOU CARE ABOUT
HOW THEY DO?
>> I CARE AN AWFUL LOT ABOUT
WHAT THEY DO.
I HAVE PERSONALLY CHOSEN TO DO
THIS.
I'M RETIRED.
I RETIRED A LONG TIME AGO.
I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE
HARDSHIPS OF PEOPLE LIVING ON A
RESERVE OR THE FIRST NATIONS
PEOPLE.
I DIDN'T HAVE ANY CLUE.
I PAINTED THEM ALL WITH ONE
BRUSH.
>> Reporter: I TRY TO IMAGINE
WHAT TIM MIGHT HAVE ONCE THOUGHT
OF LEANNE.
SHE'S 24.
SHE FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL AND DID
ONE YEAR OF COLLEGE BEFORE
DROPPING OUT.
WHAT MIGHT A JOB MEAN FOR YOU?
>> EVERYTHING.
I'M ACTUALLY SOBER NOW.
>> Reporter: AND IT'S LEANNE
THAT REALLY MAKES ME UNDERSTAND
WHAT THE POWERLINE MEANS FOR
PEOPLE HERE.
>> ALL MY TEEN YEARS AND YOUNG
ADULT YEARS I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING
WITH ALCOHOL AND DRUGS.
I'M GRATEFUL BECAUSE YOU NEVER
REALLY SEE OPPORTUNITIES AROUND
RESERVATIONS, ESPECIALLY FOR US
YOUNG PEOPLE.
I NOTICE THAT EVERY TIME I WOULD
HAVE A JOB I'M SOBER.
ONCE IT ENDS, I'M BACK INTO THAT
CYCLE.
AND THEN HAVING A JOB, I KNOW I
HAVE SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR.
(*)
>> Reporter: THERE'S LITTLE
DOUBT THAT THE POWERLINE WILL
IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN
THESE COMMUNITIES.
MAYBE JUST AS IMPORTANT IS HOW
THE PROMISE OF REAL JOB IS
GIVING PEOPLE A REASON TO GO ON.
NICK PURDON, CBC NEWS,
KINGFISHER LAKE, ONTARIO.
>> Adrienne: AS PART OF THIS
PROJECT, THE FIRST COMMUNITY IS
EXPECTED TO BE HOOKED UP
SOMETIME AROUND CHRISTMAS.
IN CANADA, THERE ARE MORE THAN
200 RURAL AND REMOTE COMMUNITIES
STILL OFF THE GRID.
THE MAJORITY OF THEM DEPEND ON
EXPENSIVE DIESEL-POWERED
GENERATORS, SO REPLACING THEM,
THE GOVERNMENT SAYS, WILL NOT
JUST GIVE THESE COMMUNITIES MORE
RELIABLE POWER AND GENERATE
JOBS, BUT WILL ALSO REDUCE
ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH
IMPACTS.
>> Ian: UP NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL," A SYRIAN MAN SPENT
SEVEN MONTHS STRANDED AT THE
AIRPORT IN KUALA LUMPUR AND
TODAY WOKE UP IN CANADA.
>> I WAS AFRAID THAT I WOULD GO
TO SLEEP AND WAKE UP THE NEXT
MORNING THAT I WOULD BE IN THE
AIRPORT OR DETENTION CAMP AND IT
WAS JUST A DREAM.
>> Rosemary: BUT FIRST, THE
STORY YOU WILL SEE HERE TOMORROW
NIGHT ON "THE NATIONAL."
CANADIAN ASTRONAUT DAVID SAINT
JACQUES IS PREPARING FOR SPACE.
HE WILL BLAST OFF NEXT WEEK ATOP
A RUSSIAN ROCKET.
TOMORROW WE'LL TAKE TO YOU
MOSCOW.
HERE'S A PREVIEW.
>> THE RUSSIANS ARE EXTREMELY
PROUD OF THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
IN SPICE AND THEY HAVE GOOD
REASONS TO BE PROUD.
THEY'RE VERY WELCOMING TO PEOPLE
LIKE ME WHO ARE COMING HERE TO
LEARN ABOUT THIS AND THE SPACE
ACCOMPLISHMENTS THEY'RE SO PROUD
OF.
FOR ME, IT'S BEEN AN EXPERIENCE
OF GOING THROUGH HISTORY BOOKS
TO BE PARTICIPATING IN THIS.
IT'S A GREAT, GREAT MOMENT IN
THE HISTORY OF HUMAN SPACE
FLIGHT BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY
NEW AVENUES OPENING.
THERE ARE SO MANY MORE WAYS TO
GO TO ORBIT COMING UP AND PEOPLE
ARE SHIFTING THEIR GAZE TO GOING
TO THE MOON AND EVENTUALLY TO
MARS.
WITH ALL THESE PLAYERS, I THINK
WE'VE A REALLY BRIGHT FUTURE.
>> Ian: WE ARE LIVE ON THE
PACIFIC EDITION OF "THE
NATIONAL."
WE HAVE AN UPDATE OF THE LION
AIR FLIGHT THAT CRASHED IN
INDONESIA LAST MONTH KILLING 189
PEOPLE.
SAFETY INVESTIGATORS SAY THE
PLANE WAS NOT AIR WORTHY ON THE
PREVIOUS FLIGHT, THE DAY BEFORE.
THERE WAS A TECHNICAL ISSUE WITH
THE BOEING 737 MAX JET
ANTI-STALL SYSTEM.
THE PILOT ON THE EARLIER FLIGHT
CHOSE TO SHUT THE SYSTEM DOWN
AND CONTINUED ON.
DATA FROM THE BLACK BOX SHOWS A
SIMILAR PROBLEM CONTRIBUTED TO
THE CRASH.
>>> THERE IS AN EMERGENCY
UNFOLDING RIGHT NOW IN
AUSTRALIA.
SYDNEY HAS BEEN HIT WITH A
MONTH'S WORTH OF RAIN IN THE
SPACE OF TWO HOURS.
ONE PERSON HAS DIED.
TWO POLICE OFFICERS INJURED.
EMERGENCY CREWS SO FAR PERFORMED
15 FLOOD RESCUES.
IT'S GETTING TO LATE AFTERNOON
NOW AND THE RAIN IS FORECAST TO
LAST INTO THE NIGHT.
AFTER SPENDING NIGHTS MONTHS
STRANDED IN A MALAYSIAN AIRPORT,
A SYRIAN REFUGEE IS FINALLY
GETTING A FRESH START HERE IN
CANADA.
HASSAN AL KONTAR JUST ARRIVED IN
WHISTLER WHERE HE IS BEING
SPONSORED BY A GROUP OF
RESIDENTS.
LAURA LYNCH SPENT THE DAY WITH
HIM AS HE ADJUSTS TO HIS NEW
HOME.
>> Reporter: AFTER A LONG, LONG
OTHERS GAVE HIM WARM JACKETS.
>> HE IS INTELLIGENT, KIND.
>> Reporter: THERE WERE
DIFFICULT DAYS AS SHE WORKED TO
BRING HIM HERE.
>> IT WAS FRUSTRATING FOR ME AS
AN INDIVIDUAL AND AS SOMEONE WHO
WANTS TO HELP.
BUT I ALSO HAVE TO UNDERSTAND
THE REALITY OF THE GOVERNMENT.
IT'S NOT THAT STRAIGHTFORWARD.
THEY ARE DEALING WITH MILLIONS
OF PEOPLE.
>> Reporter: FOR TWO MONTHS, SHE
DIDN'T SPEAK IT HIM AT ALL.
HE WAS IN A CRAMPED, COLD,
4X5-METRE CELL WITH AS MANY AS
40 OTHER DETAINEES WITH LIGHTS
ON 24 HOURS A DAY.
NOW, THOUGH, HE HAS A NEW LIFE
AND EVEN IF A JOB AT A HOTEL
ISN'T PERFECT FOR A MAN TRAINED
IN THE LAW, HE'S GRATEFUL.
>> THERE'S NO SHAME IN WORK.
YOU WORK AND YOU ARE ABLE TO
SUPPORT YOURSELF FINANCIALLY AND
NOT DEPEND ON OTHERS.
IT'S DECENT WORK.
WORK IS A BLESSING.
>> IT'S AN OASIS FOR NOW.
>> Reporter: TODAY AL KONTAR IS
BREATHING FRESH MOUNTAIN AIR AND
THINKING OF SYRIA.
WHERE WINTER MEANT SNOW AND
COLD.
>> I DID MY PART IN THE DESERT
FOR 11 YEARS.
IT WAS NOT A SUCCESSFUL
EXPERIENCE.
WHEN I SMELLED THE AIR AND FELT
THE COLD HERE, IT REMINDS ME OF
MY TOWN.
>> A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
>> Reporter: NOT SYRIA, BUT IT'S
HOME AND HE IS FREE.
THAT HE SAYS IS ALL THAT
MATTERS.
LAURA LYNCH, CBC NEWS, WHISTLER.
>> Adrienne: YOU LIKELY REMEMBER
THIS PHOTO WE SHOWED YOU ON
SUNDAY NIGHT.
YOU CAN SEE A MIGRANT AND HER
YOUNG CHILDREN RUNNING FROM TEAR
GAS AT THE U.S. BORDER.
TONIGHT WE WANT TO TELL YOU MORE
OF THE STORY BEHIND THAT IMAGE.
THE MOTHER AND THE PHOTOGRAPHER
ARE SHARING THEIR STORIES IN
THEIR OWN WORDS.
TAKE A LISTEN.
>> I HAD A CHANCE TO TALK TO
MANY MIGRANTS AND MOST OF THEM
SAY, THEY WANT A BETTER LIFE.
ALSO, THEY WANT TO GIVE A BETTER
FUTURE TO THEIR CHILDREN.
THEY SAY THAT'S ONE OF THE
REASONS THEY WANT TO GO TO THE
UNITED STATES.
I SAW THE WOMAN AND THE GIRL.
I THOUGHT MAYBE THAT CAN TELL A
STORY.
>> Adrienne: THAT WOMAN CAUGHT
IN THE CHAOS IS MARIA MEZA,
RUNNING AWAY WITH HER TWIN
5-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTERS.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
>> Adrienne: MEZA SAYS THAT THEY
WERE NOT CROSSING THE BORDER
ILLEGALLY, BUT TRYING TO APPLY
FOR ASYLUM.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
(*)
>> IT'S A PICTURE THAT CAN TELL
THE STORY AND LET THE REST OF
THE WORLD KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
>> Rosemary: NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL," THEIR MOTHER TAUGHT
THEM C.P.R., BUT SHE NEVER
THOUGHT THEY WOULD HAVE TO USE
IT IN REAL LIFE.
HOW TWO BOYS FROM SASKATCHEWAN
SAVED THEIR GRANDMOTHER'S LIFE.
>> I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS
WRONG.
THAT'S WHY I CALLED 911.
>> WE GAVE THEM OUR ADDRESS AND
THEN TOLD THEM THAT OUR
GRANDMOTHER WAS UNCONSCIOUS AND
NOT WAKING UP AND NOT BREATHING
AND HAD NO PULSE.
>> Rosemary: THAT'S COMING UP IN
OUR "MOMENT OF THE DAY."
BUT FIRST -- IN CASE YOU MISSED
IT.
THE CREATOR OF ONE OF THE
WORLD'S BIGGEST CARTOON
CHARACTERS HAS DIED.
STEPHEN HILLENBURG WAS THE MAN
BEHIND "SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS."
* WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER
THE SEA *
HILLENBURG WAS 57 YEARS OLD.
HE REVEALED LAST YEAR HE HAD
A.L.S. AND THAT HE WOULD KEEP
WORKING ON HIS SHOW AS LONG AS
HE COULD.
THE VOICE OF SPONGEBOB PAID
TRIBUTE.
>> SPONGEBOB'S PLAYFUL SPIRIT OF
GENTLE ANARCHY AND HUMOUR COME
DIRECTLY, DIRECTLY, 100% FROM MY
GOOD BUDDY, MR. STEPHEN
HILLENBURG.
>> Rosemary: HILLENBURG HAD A
BACKGROUND IN MARINE BIOLOGY.
ONE OF HIS GREATEST
INSPIRATIONS, MAYBE, "THE
UNDERSEA WORLD OF JACQUE
COUSTEAU."
>> SO FASCINATING.
SO WONDERFUL.
>> Rosemary: "SPONGEBOB" HAS
BEEN ON THE AIR NEARLY 20 YEARS
NOW, PLUS TWO MOVIES AND A SMASH
BROADWAY MUSICAL.
THERE'S EVEN A FUNGUS,
NAMED AFTER STEVEN HILLENBURG'S
CREATION --
SPONGIFORMA SQUAREPANTSII.
I THINK I GOT THAT RIGHT.
ON SOCIAL MEDIA TODAY, TRIBUTES
FROM FELLOW ARTISTS FOR A
CARTOONIST WITH A TRULY BIZARRE
IDEA THAT BECAME A PHENOMENON.
>> Rosemary: GRAYSON AND
KIAN WU'S MOTHER TAUGHT THEM
C.P.R. THIS SUMMER ALL BECAUSE A
FRIEND AT A BIRTHDAY PARTY SAID
HE KNEW HOW TO DO IT.
SHE NEVER DREAMED THEY WOULD
ACTUALLY NEED TO USE THE SKILL
IN REAL LIFE.
WHEN THEIR GRANDMOTHER WENT INTO
CARDIAC ARREST, THE BOYS JUMPED
INTO ACTION, CALLED 911, STARTED
COMPRESSIONS AND SAVED HER LIFE.
THEIR STORY OF BRAVERY AND
QUICK-THINKING IS OUR "MOMENT OF
THE DAY."
>> I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS
WRONG, SO THAT'S WHY I CALLED
911.
>> APPARENTLY THE BOYS HAD BEEN
MY OLDEST GRANDSON THAT WAS
DOING THE COMPRESSIONS WAS SO
WORRIED THAT HE HAD BROKEN SOME
RIBS, OR MY STERNUM, BECAUSE HIS
FIRST COMPRESSION, HE FELT A
CRUNCH.
I SAID, YES, YOU DID, DO THAT,
BUT IT SHOWS ME THAT YOU DID
PROPER COMPRESSIONS AND THAT IS
WHAT ACTUALLY SAVED MY LIFE.
>> Rosemary: I MEAN, YOU KNOW,
I'VE TAKEN CLASSES, C.P.R.
CLASSES.
I'M SURE YOU HAVE, TOO.
WE HAVE TO DO THAT AS PART OF
OUR JOURNALISM TRAINING.
AND I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN TO DO
ALL THOSE STEPS, ESPECIALLY IF
IT WAS MY GRANDMOTHER.
IT'S SO REMARKABLE.
>> Adrienne: ONE OF MY FAVOURITE
PARTS OF THE INTERVIEW IS THEY
SAID, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T FIGHT
OVER WHO WAS GOING TO DO WHAT.
THE ROLES HAPPENED NATURALLY.
>> Ian: EVERYBODY IN THAT STORY
IS REMARKABLE, THAT THE KIDS DID
WHAT THEY DID AND THEIR MOTHER
MADE SURE THAT THEY LEARNED
C.P.R. AND THEY'RE GRANDMOTHER
SEEMS TO BE DOING WELL.
SHE'S RIGHT -- A LOT OF PEOPLE
THAT HAVE CARDIAC ARREST THAT
NEED C.P.R. AND EVEN THOSE THAT
GET C.P.R. OFTEN DON'T GET GREAT
OUTCOMES.
SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE'S REALLY
HEALTHY.
SO WE NEED TO REFRESH OUR
LESSONS AND CROSS OUR FINGERS
THAT IF WE HAVE TO USE C.P.R.
WE'RE AS POISED AS THEY WERE.
>> Adrienne: OR AT LEAST IF
THEY'RE AROUND.
THAT WOULD BE GOOD.
>> Rosemary: YEAH, FOLLOW US.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Ian: THAT'S "THE NATIONAL"
FOR NOVEMBER 27.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Rosemary: GOOD NIGHT.
>> Adrienne: GOOD NIGHT.
