CONTAMINA
CONTAMINATED, WAS IT LEGAL?
WHAT CAN GO WRONG WHEN SUPPLY
DOES NOT MEET DEMAND.
A BUSY STOCK MARKET.
WHAT'S BEHIND ALL THE
VOLATILITY?
AND AT ISSUE IS HERE WITH THE
VERY BEST POLITICAL PLAYS.
>> HAD TO REDO THAT TRIP, I
WOULD DO IT HAVE HE DIFFERENTLY.
>> Adrienne: AND THE BIGGEST
BLUNDERS OF 2018.
PLUS, THE TALES EVEN YOU
POLITICAL JUNKIES MAY HAVE
MISSED.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
OTTAWA PROMISED THAT
LEGALIZATION WOULD DEAL A BLOW
TO CANADA'S UNDERGROUND
MARIJUANA MARKET.
IN FACT, A BIG SALES PITCH.
CANADA HAS A SUPPLY AND DEMAND
PROBLEM WHEN IT COMES TO LEGAL
POT.
AND TONIGHT IT APPEARS EVEN ONE
OF CANADA'S LICENSED PRODUCERS
MAY HAVE TURNED TO THE BLACK
MARKET.
THREE OF ITS EXECUTIVES HAVE NOW
LOST THEIR JOBS.
BONNIE ALLEN HAS THAT STORY.
>> Reporter: WHEN ANNIE FISHER
AND HER FAMILY OPENED A POT SHOP
IN MOOSE JAW, THEY WANTED TO
GUARANTEE SAFE CANNABIS FOR THE
CUSTOMERS.
NOW THEY WERE SOLD A BATCH FROM
AN UNAUTHORIZED SOURCE.
MESSAGE TO CUSTOMERS.
>> BE SURE WE TOOK THE PRODUCT
OFF THE SHELVES THE SECOND WE
HEARD OUT ABOUT IT AND
EVERYTHING YOU GET HERE IS BY
THE BOOK.
>> Reporter: CANNABIS PRODUCER
BONIFY IS UNDER INVESTIGATION BY
HEALTH CANADA.
CAN'T SAY WHERE THE WEED CAME
FROM.
BONIFY HIRED CANNABIS SECURITY
EXPERT GEORGE ROBINSON TO CLEAN
UP THE MESS.
HE SAYS IT APPEARS BONIFY
MANAGERS HAD OVERPROMISED SUPPLY
AND WITH SO MUCH DEMAND,
BREAKING THE RULES WAS
FINANCIALLY TEMPTING.
>> WHAT THEY DID WAS NOT AT ALL
REMOTELY CLOSE TO FOLLOWING THE
REGULATION.
>> Reporter: EMPLOYEES BECAME
SUSPICIOUS WHEN 200 KILOGRAMS
SHOWED UP AT THE WINNIPEG PLANT
NOT PRODUCED BY THE GROWER.
>> I DON'T KNOW THE SOURCE.
I HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OF
WHETHER ORGANISED CRIME WAS
INVOLVED OR NOT.
>> Reporter: AT LEAST EIGHT
EMPLOYEES VOICED THEIR CONCERNS
BUT BULLIED BY THREE SENIOR
MANAGERS TO STAY QUIET.
ONE TIPPED OFF HEALTH CANADA AND
IT ISSUED TWO RECALLS.
IN TOTAL, 180 GRAMS OF
UNAUTHORIZED PRODUCT WERE
SHIPPED TO SASKATCHEWAN RETAIL
STORES.
SOME HAD MOLD AND POTENTIALLY E.
COLI.
THIS CUSTOMER SAYS HE IS PAYING
FIVE TIMES MORE FOR LEGAL WEED
AND EXPECTS GOVERNMENT TO
GUARANTEE SAFETY IN RETURN FOR
ALL THOSE TAXES.
>> YOU WOULD EXPECT IT TO BE AT
LEAST AS SAFE QUALITY-WISE WHEN
YOU BUY IT THAN WHEN YOU WOULD
GET IT FROM, LET'S SAY, YOUR
PERSONAL DEALER.
>> Reporter: BONIFY SAYS IT'S
COOPERATING WITH HEALTH CANADA
AND THE REGULATOR.
IT WON'T COMMENT ON A POSSIBLE
POLICE INVESTIGATION.
MOOSE JAW, SASKATCHEWAN.
>> Adrienne: THE SUPPLY PROBLEMS
ARE AN ISSUE FROM COAST TO COAST
TO COAST.
IN NEW BRUNSWICK, HALF THE 20
STORES SIMPLY HAD TO CLOSE JUST
THREE WEEKS AFTER LEGALIZATION.
THAT'S BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE
ENOUGH TO SELL.
IN ONTARIO, ONLY 25 STORES ARE
NOW SLATED TO OPEN ON APRIL 1ST.
NOVA SCOTIA SAYS IT'S ONLY
GETTING ABOUT 35 TO 40% OF THE
SUPPLY IT NEEDS.
THE PRIME MINISTER CALLED THE
SUPPLY SHORTAGE THE BIGGEST
CHALLENGE OF LEGALIZATION, BUT
HE PROMISES IT WILL BE WORKED
OUT IN A FEW MONTHS.
NOT EVERYONE IS SO CONFIDENT.
>> I DON'T THINK IT'S A MATTER
OF DAYS, WEEKS OR MONTHS.
I THINK THE SHORTAGES ARE A
MATTER OF A FEW YEARS.
>> Adrienne: EXPERTS SAY IT WILL
TAKE SOME TIME FOR ENOUGH
GROWERS TO GET LICENSED, WORK
OUT THE KINKS AND GET THE
PRODUCT TO MARKET.
>>> LET'S LOOK AT THE STOCK
MARKET, AROUND THE HOLIDAYS
USUALLY QUIETLY UPBEAT.
HOWEVER, FOR ANYONE WITH A STAKE
IN THE MARKET, SICKENING RIDE.
S & P 500, UGLY, GUT WRENCHING
PLUMMET ON CHRISTMAS EVE.
YESTERDAY IT ROCKETED UP NEARLY
5%, ONLY FOR IT TODAY TO SINK
LIKE A ROCK, IS THEN SURGE BACK
IN THE FINAL HOUR OF TRADING.
PORTFOLIO WATCHERS, IT'S HARD TO
CALL THESE HOLIDAYS RELAXING.
SO, YES, RISING AND FALLING,
THAT'S WHAT MARKETS DO.
BUT SWINGS LIKE THESE ARE
UNUSUAL ANY TIME OF YEAR.
SO, WHAT'S THE FUEL FOR THE
FRENZY?
RON CHARLES LAYS IT ALL OUT.

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PUBLIC ANGER
AT THE U.S. FEDERAL RESERVE FOR
THOSE RISING RATES.
AND, TRUMP'S TRADE WAR WITH
CHINA.
>> MERRY CHRISTMAS.
>> UNLIKE HIS PREDECESSORS, HE
HAS NO QUALMS ABOUT OPENLY
CRITICIZING THE FED AS RECENTLY
AS CHRISTMAS DAY.
>> THEY ARE RAISING INTEREST
RATES TOO FAST, MY OPINION.
THE ECONOMY IS DOING SO WELL
THAT THEY RAISED INTEREST RATES
AND IT'S A FORM OF SAFETY IN A
WAY.
PRESIDENT OBAMA DID NOT DO MUCH
OF THAT, MUCH EASIER TO RUN WHEN
YOU HAVE NO INTEREST RATE, HE
HAD A VERY LOW INTEREST RATE.
>> FOR WEEKS, TRUMP MADE IT
CLEAR HE IS NOT HAPPY WITH
HIGHER INTEREST RATES OR THE MAN
HE BLAMES FOR THEM.
HIS PICK FOR FEDERAL RESERVE
CHAIR, JEROME POWELL.

OUST POWELL OR HIS TREASURY

A PURELY POLITICAL MOVE MADE
WITHOUT A SHRED OF EVIDENCE,

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
VIDEOS POSTED ONLINE SHOW A
BRIGHT BLUE BALL OF FIRE
LIGHTING UP THE SKY OVER
MANHATTAN.
IT HAPPENED AROUND 9:00 P.M.

MINUTES.
ALSO REPORTS OF POWER OUTAGES,

IT HAPPENED THIS MORNING INSIDE
A WELDING SHOP SOUTH OF THE

INVESTIGATORS HAVE NOT SAID
EXACTLY WHAT CAUSED THE
EXPLOSION.
BUT WHEN THEY ARRIVED, SEVERAL
GAS CYLINDERS WERE IN FLAMES.
FIREFIGHTERS LEFT THEM ALONE SO
THE GAS COULD REALLY JUST BURN
OFF.

THE BUILDING.
THERE'S NO WORD ON WHEN WORKERS

HIS NAME WAS FELIPE GOMEZ

GOMEZ ALONSO WAS TRAVELLING WITH
HIS FATHER WHEN THEY WERE
DETAINED IN TEXAS FOR ILLEGALLY
CROSSING THE BORDER, THAT WAS
SIX DAYS BEFORE HIS DEATH.
NOW, A BORDER AGENT NOTICED THE
CHILD WAS SICK ON CHRISTMAS EVE.
BOY WAS THEN TAKEN TO HOSPITAL

IT'S HARD TO DO THAT.

PUTTING TOGETHER YOUR NEW YEAR'S
RESOLUTIONS, CHANCES ARE THIS
ONE IS PRETTY HIGH ON THE LIST,
MORE EXERCISE.
LUCKY YOU, A NEW TREND TRYING TO
CAPITALIZE ON THAT AMBITION.
IT'S AT HOMEWORKOUTS WHERE
PARTICIPANTS JOIN A LIVE CLASS
VIA THE NET.
AMERICAN COMPANIES ARE LEADING
THE CHARGE.
ONE JUST BRANCHED INTO CANADA.
THIS PURSUIT IS PRICEY.

COMPETITIVE TENNIS AS A TEEN.
FITNESS HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN
IMPORTANT PART OF HER LIFE.
>> TURN THE PAGE.
>> SINCE GIVING BIRTH TO HER
FIRST CHILD, GETTING TO THE GYM
HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE.
SO SHE'S BOUGHT HERSELF A $3,000
INTERNET-CONNECTED BIKE FROM

$49 A MONTH SUBSCRIPTION
SERVICE.

ROBYN, I'M GOING TO DO HER
CLASS.

INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE.
SHE CAN ALSO JOIN A LIVE CLASS,
HAPPENING IN A STUDIO IN NEW

PELOTON IS JUST ONE OF A NUMBER
OF COMPANIES OFFERING HIGH-TECH
EXERCISE IN YOUR OWN HOME.
A SIMILAR SERVICE CALLED ECHELON
OFFERS MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTIONS.
A POPULAR SPINNING STUDIO CALLED
FLY-WHEEL, INTRODUCED FLY
ANYWHERE, THE SAME IDEA.
AND THEN MIRROR, EXERCISE
ROUTINES LED BY A VIRTUAL
INSTRUCTOR.
>> FITNESS HAS BEEN A
DESTINATION ACTIVITY, YOU PACK
UP YOUR BAG, WENT TO THE GYM,
EITHER IN A CLASS, OR YOU WERE
WORKING ON YOUR OWN AND THEN YOU
TOOK A SHOWER AND WENT OFF TO
WORK.
IT'S HARD TO DO THAT.
TIM SHANAHAN OF PELOTON SAYS
CONVENIENCE AND CUSTOMIZATION
ARE THE COMPANY'S MAIN SELLING
POINTS.
HE SAYS THE COMPANY IS GROWING
FAST, SALES TOPPED $400 MILLION
LAST YEAR.
CANADA IS ITS FIRST
INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION.

OVER 85% OF FOLKS WANT TO WORK
OUT ON THEIR OWN SCHEDULE.
>> DON'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU USE
IT FOR THINGS OTHER THAN

>> TYPICALLY CONSUMERS GET BORED
DOING THE ONE THING AND THEY'LL
SEEK OUT A LIVE EXPERIENCE,
WHETHER IT'S GROUP FITNESS OR
PERSONAL TRAINING.
>> GOOD LIFE OFFERS VIRTUAL

BUT SHE POINTS TO RESEARCH THAT
POINTS TO WORKING OUT WITH A

BEYOND REGULAR EXERCISE.

WAS THIS THE BIGGEST MISSTEP?

>> MAYBE CHOOSE SOME TERRIFIC
ALBERTA CRAFT BEER INSTEAD.
>> OUR GOVERNMENT'S POSITION IS

CANADIAN ACTION.
>> THE PEOPLE OF ONTARIO HAVE
SPOKEN.
>> I INTEND TO RUN IN THE
UPCOMING BY-ELECTION HERE IN
BURNABY SOUTH.
>> THIS PARTY IS TOO
INTELLECTUALLY AND MORALLY
CORRUPT.
>> MORE INTERESTED IN ADVANCING
HIS PERSONAL PROFILE THAN
CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES.
>> CANADA REACHED AN AGREEMENT
IN PRINCIPLE WITH THE UNITED
STATES AND MEXICO.
>> LET'S START WORKING TOGETHER.
>> LIFTING THE PROHIBITION,
THAT'S WHAT LEGALIZATION IS.
>> WE ARE ESSENTIALLY GIVING OUR
OIL AWAY FOR FREE.
>> JUST SOME OF THE BIG MOMENTS
OF 2018, AND I STRESS SOME.
I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THAT
HAPPENED IN JUST ONE YEAR, WHICH
IS ALWAYS THE CASE WE DO THESE.
WHAT BETTER WAY TO DIG INTO ALL
OF IT WITH THE AT ISSUE GANG,
TALK ABOUT THE YEAR THAT WAS,
GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL IN PERSON.
I KNOW YOU WANT TO DO IT LIKE
THIS EVERY WEEK.
>> WE DO.
>> OK.
THE FIRST QUESTION, M.V.P. M.P.
OF THE YEAR.
TWO HAD THE SAME YEAR.
>> CHRYSTIA FREELAND, NOT JUST
BECAUSE THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT
REACHED, BUT FOR HAVING THE
PATIENCE TO STAND AND HOLD HER
LINE FOR ALL THOSE MONTHS, IT
HAS TO HAVE BEEN CHALLENGING AND
I THINK BY FAR SHE WAS, SHE DID
AN OUTSTANDING JOB.
I WOULDN'T SAY THE CABINET, THE
TRUDEAU CABINET THE BEST I'VE
EVER SEEN, BUT EVEN IN A BETTER
CABINET SHE WOULD STAND OUT, I
THINK.
>> YOU AGREED.
>> PRESERVED HER DIGNITY IN THE
COUNTRIES IN THE PROCESS.
NOW THE SECOND MOST HIGH PROFILE
MINISTER AFTER MORNEAU, AND
WITHOUT ANY OF HIS BAGGAGE, SO
WE SHOULDN'T HANDICAP AHEAD OF
TIME, BUT SHE WOULD BE A
CONTENDER.
>> YOU THOUGHT WHO.
>> I WOULD SAY THE PRIME
MINISTER.
I THINK HE IS THE PARTY'S
BIGGEST ASSET AND BIGGEST
LIABILITY.
THEY WILL SINK OR SWIM DEPENDING
HOW HE DOES.
I AGREE CHRYSTIA FREELAND DOES A
GREAT JOB, BUT I THINK HE IS WHY
THE LIBERALS ARE WHY THEY ARE
NOW.
HE'S ALSO WHY THE LIBERALS SANK
AFTER, I DON'T KNOW IF WE ARE
GETTING AHEAD OF OURSELVES, BUT
WITH REGARDS TO THE INDIA TRIP,
FOR EXAMPLE.
SO, KIND OF OBVIOUS THE PRIME
MINISTER IS THE MOST VALUABLE
PLAYER.
>> YOU HAD A VERY --
>> I DECIDED THAT M.P., NOT
LEADER, NOT CABINET MINISTER.
I WENT WITH THE QUEBEC
LIEUTENANT TO ANDREW SCHEER,
EASILY THE MOST PROMINENT
CONSERVATIVE M.P. ELECTED IN
2015.
EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS PROMINENCE
IN THAT CAUCUS IS OLDER VINTAGE,
AND HE HELD THE QUEBEC WING OF
THE PARTY TO GO WHEN MAX BERNIER
LEFT.
DELIVERED AN IMPORTANT
BY-ELECTION WIN.
HE IS AN UTTERLY CONVENTIONAL
POLITICIAN MAY HELP THE
CONSERVATIVE PARTY, OTHER
PROMINENT FACES ARE ATTEMPTED BY
MORE POPULUS STREAMS AND
CURRENTS IN THE MOVEMENT, AND
THE LIBERALS ARE STREETS AHEAD
OF THE CONSERVATIVES IN QUEBEC.
IF THERE'S A SURPRISE, MAYBE
BECAUSE THE ROOKIE HAS HELD THEM
TOGETHER WHEN THINGS ARE TOUGH.
>> NO, WE DON'T GET SECOND TRIES
HERE.
>> CAN WE DISAGREE?
>> YOU CAN TOTALLY DISAGREE.
BIGGEST PARTY LIABILITY, THREE
HAD THE SAME ANSWER, AND PAUL,
BECAUSE HE'S AN OUTLIER DID NOT.
ANDREW FIRST.
>> JAGMEET SINGH.
I HAD NEVER SEEN A PARTY SO
VOCALLY AND UNASHAMEDLY DISSING
THEIR OWN LEADER.
WITH REASON.
HE'S BEEN SEVERAL TIMES APPEARED
UNPREPARED ON VARIOUS FILES.
TO BE FAIR TO HIM, HE WAS KIND
OF THROWN INTO THE DEEP END,
THAT'S A CHOICE THE PARTY MADE
AS LEADER AND HE POLLS -- THE
PARTY IS POLLING MEDIOCRELY, HE
POLLS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS.
>> ANDREW'S RIGHT.
HE DRAGS THE BRAND OF THE PARTY
DOWN, WHEN YOU ATTACH HIS NAME,
11, 10%.
WHEN YOU DON'T PUT HIS NAME
THERE, THE PARTY IS 17, 16%.
DOESN'T EVEN SEEM LIKE HE'S
TRYING.
THAT'S WHAT I FIND PERPLEXING.
HE RAN VERY DISCIPLINED CAMPAIGN
TO GET THE LEADERSHIP AND THEN
KIND OF ALL FELL APART.
HE'S NOT OUT HUSTLING, HE DOES
NOT KNOW SOME OF THE PARTY'S
POLICY, REACTED BADLY ON THE
DAVID CHRISTOPHERSON VOTING
AGAINST THE PARTY AND IT'S VERY
RARE THAT N.D.P. M.P.S, USUALLY
SPEAK IN ONE VOICE ARE ACTIVELY
CRITICIZING THEIR LEADER, AND
THEY ARE.
>> STEEP LEARNING CURVE, A
NATIONAL LEADER, BUT OTHERS HAVE
HAD THAT CURVE, MCDONAGH, TO
NAME ONE, AND MANAGED TO WORK
WITH IT AND TO COME UP WITH
RESULTS WITHOUT THE SEAT IN THE
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
SO, THE WORDS IN OVER HIS HEAD
COME TO MIND WHENEVER HE
APPEARS, AND I CAN'T SEE THAT
HE'S GROWING INTO THE JOB IN ANY
WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.
>> OUTLIER.
>> ANY INCUMBENT GOVERNMENT RUNS
ON MANAGERIAL COMPETENCE, ON ANY
GIVEN DAY THE LIBERALS CAN'T
FIND TWO OF THEIR M.P.S.
LOSING ONE IS TRAGEDY, LOSING
TWO LOOKS LIKE CARELESSNESS, AS
OSCAR WILDE SAID.
>> POLITICAL PLAY -- TWO OF THE
SAME.
PAUL, BEST POLITICAL PLAY.
>> GETTING THE NAFTA DEAL.
THE CONSERVATIVES ARE NOT WRONG
TO CONTINUE EVEN TODAY HARPING
ON THE NOTION THAT THEY GAVE IN
A LOT OF CONCESSIONS IN ORDER TO
GET ALMOST NO GAINS IN THE DEAL.
THAT PLAYS WELL TO CONSERVATIVE
SUPPORT, THE CONSERVATIVE BASE
BELIEVES THAT.
NOT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE DO.
THE FAILURE TO GET A NAFTA DEAL
WAS A REAL ALBATROSS FOR THE
LIBERALS UNTIL THE DAY THAT
ENDED, AND NOW THEY ARE COVERED
OFF ON THE BIGGEST, BRIAN
MULRONEY AND A MILLION OTHER
PEOPLE HAVE SAID THE THINGS YOU
HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ARE
CANADA-U.S. RELATIONS AND
NATIONAL UNITY.
CANADA AND U.S. RELATIONS ARE
NOW A HUGE ADVANTAGE FOR THE
LIBERALS.
>> BIGGEST ISSUE, HAD THE ISSUE
TO SINK THE PARTY, I THINK THEY
MADE A LOT OF MISSTEPS AND NO
DOUBT THE FINAL AGREEMENT IS
WORSE THAN THE AGREEMENT WE HAD,
BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH
WORSE.
AND THAT'S WHAT POLITICS IS
ABOUT.
IT'S AVOIDING CALAMITY AND
DISASTER, AND JEAN CHRETIEN
TALKED ABOUT FALLING THROUGH THE
ICE.
>> I AGREE THAT GETTING TO THE
NAFTA 2.0 WAS IMPORTANT FOR THE
GOVERNMENT, BUT MASTERFUL FOR
THEM IS HOW THEY CHANGED THEIR
TONE AND THEIR APPROACH WITH
DEALING WITH THE WHITE HOUSE.
FOR A YEAR AND A HALF, YOU HAD
JUSTIN TRUDEAU MEETING WITH
DONALD TRUMP, TRYING TO PLAY
NICE, SAYING NICE THINGS, LIKE
ME, LIKE ME, ON HIS GOOD SIDE,
AND JUST BEFORE THE G7, MARCH
31, WHEN THE PRIME MINISTER SAID
THAT DONALD TRUMP HAD ASKED HIM
TO COME TO D.C., SIGN THIS DEAL,
AND THEN MIKE PENCE CALLED AND
SAID WELL, IF YOU ARE COMING,
YOU SHOULD KNOW YOU HAVE TO
AGREE TO A SUNSET CLAUSE FOR
FIVE YEARS, AND THE PRIME
MINISTER AT HIS PRESS CONFERENCE
HE ACTUALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME
KIND OF BAD MOUTHED THE
PRESIDENT AND SAID THE GUY LACKS
LOGIC, NO COMMON SENSE, AND THE
HARSHER TONE THE PRIME
MINISTER'S OFFICE TAKING, AND
WRAPPED UP IN CAPTAIN CANADA AND
GET CANADIANS ON SIDE IN THE
BATTLE.
>> SIX MINUTES TO GO.
YOU WENT SOMEWHERE ENTIRELY
DIFFERENT.
>> OUT OF THE FEDERAL LEVEL, BUT
BACK TO THE POINT THERE ARE TWO
BIG FILES AND ONE IS CANADIAN
UNITY.
I PICKED FRANCOIS LEGAULT, THIS
IS SOMEONE WHO STARTED OFF IN A
PROMINENT POSITION IN THE PARTI
QUEBECOIS.
HE COULD HAVE HUNG AROUND AND
BECOME THE LEADER OF THE
READY-MADE PARTY.
TO STEP AWAY AND START A NEW
PARTY, IT'S HARD, AND TO RECAST
QUEBEC POLITICS OUTSIDE THE
FEDERALIST SOVEREIGNTIST, THAT
IS QUITE A FEAT.
AND WHEN PEOPLE WRITE HISTORY OF
QUEBEC, QUIET REVOLUTION IN 1960
OR WHATEVER, 2018, A MARK ON THE
YEAR FOR THAT ELECTION AND I
THINK IT'S WORTH NOTING.
>> BIGGEST POLITICAL MISSTEP.
THREE AGREED AND ONE SPEAKS TO
THIS, AND PLAY A CLIP SO YOU
KNOW WHAT THEY AGREED ON.
HERE YOU GO.
>> HAD TO REDO THAT TRIP I WOULD
DO IT VERY DIFFERENTLY.
>> WOULD YOU WEAR THE OUTFIT?
>> NO, PROBABLY NOT.
THAT WAS A CLEAR -- I HAD MORE
SUITS ON THE TRIP THAN I HAD
OUTFITS, BUT THE PICTURES OF THE
OUTFITS DOMINATED.
>> SO YOU THREE SAID INDIA TRIP,
PAUL SAID SOMETHING ABOUT
VALUES, YOU CAN WORK INTO IT.
IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT IT WAS NOT A
GOOD TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT.
>> FROM FIRST TO LAST, NOT JUST
THE P.R. DEBACLE, BUT THE ATWAL
AFFAIR, AND THEY WERE
RESPONSIBLE FOR INVITING HIM,
MISHANDLED THAT.
>> ATTEMPTED KILLER THAT SHOWED
UP IN PICTURES BESIDE THE PRIME
MINISTER'S WIFE.
>> SPEAKS TO HIS VANITY IN SOME
RESPECTS, AND HOW UNSERIOUSLY
THEY ARE TREATING THE INDIA
FILE, SOMEBODY SAID THEY WOULD
HAVE NEVER DONE THIS IN CHINA,
AND HE WAS ALREADY STARTING TO
SLIDE IN PUBLIC ESTIMATION
BEFORE THAT, BUT THIS CEMENTED A
LOT OF IMPRESSIONS AND THEY ARE
DEALING WITH THE AFTERMATH.
>> ADD TO THAT.
I DON'T THINK THEY DON'T TREAT
INDIA SERIOUSLY, I THINK THEY
TREAT IT AS A P.R. MOVE, AND ONE
OF THE REASONS IT WAS A
DISASTER.
>> CAME SHORTLY AFTER JAGMEET
SINGH BECAME THE LEADER OF THE
N.D.P., AND LOOK HOW DIVERSE WE
ARE, WE ARE THE MOST DIVERSE
PARTY.
>> WE LOVE INDIA MORE.
>> AND YOURS IS, SORT OF RELATED
I GUESS IN SOME WAY.
>> BROADER AND MORE SUBTLE.
LIBERAL'S INABILITY TO PROCEED
ON ANY FILE, OR MAYBE LESS
INTERESTING.
>> WE'LL SEE.
>> ABILITY TO PROCEED ON ANY
FILE EXCEPT BY CLAIMING SUPERIOR
VIRTUE.
I'VE BEEN AROUND A WHILE AND
COVERED GOVERNMENTS TO SAY WE
ARE PROBLEM SOLVING HERE OR
EXERCISING COMMON SENSE OR JUST
DOING WHAT CANADIANS WANT.
THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT
CLAIMING TO BE CLOSER TO SOME
IDEAL CANADIAN VALUE.
AND EVERYBODY I KNOW IS SICK OF
IT.
>> DIFFERENT TYPES OF LIBERAL
ARTISTS, USED TO BE WE ARE THE
PARTY OF POWER, THIS IS AN
ARROGANCE OF WE ARE SUPERIOR AND
THAT CREATES --
>> I WOULD ARGUE IT'S IN THEIR
D.N.A. A LONG TIME.
>> THIS MAY BE THE LAST ONE,
GOOD ANSWER.
MOST UNDERREPORTED POLITICAL
STORY OF THE YEAR.
CHANTAL.
>> LAST BUDGET, PHARMACARE
SUDDENLY APPEARS IN THE PICTURE,
COMMISSION IS GOING TO LOOK INTO
IT, SPUN AS THE BIG PROMISE FOR
THE NEXT ELECTION.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO
PHARMACARE.
I WOULD THINK THAT YOU CAN CALL
IT THE DOUG FORD FACTOR.
YOU CAN'T HAVE A NATIONAL
PROGRAMME WITHOUT BUY-IN FROM
ONTARIO AND QUEBEC, QUEBEC HAS A
PHARMACARE PROGRAMME AND I DON'T
THINK DOUG FORD IS BUYING A
PHARMACARE PROGRAMME FROM THIS
GOVERNMENT.
>> PAUL.
>> IT'S THE EXTENT TO WHICH FAKE
NEWS, RUSSIAN TROLLING, THE
SURPRISE TRUMP ELECTION IS
MOTIVATING THE LIBERALS AS THEY
HEAD INTO AN ELECTION YEAR.
THEY ARE QUITE CONVINCED
GOVERNMENTS AROUND THEM HAVE
FALLEN BECAUSE OF ILLEGITIMATE
OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE AND IT'S
DRIVING THEIR DECISIONS ABOUT
ELECTION DEBATE PANEL, DRIVING
THEIR DECISIONS ABOUT THE
ELECTION LAW, IT'S DRIVING THIS
ABSURD DECISION TO SUBSIDIZE
LARGE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS IN THE
COUNTRY.
THEY ARE TERRIFIED THEY WON'T BE
ALLOWED TO FIGHT ON FAIRGROUND
BECAUSE OF THE OTHER SIDE, AND
THEY HAVE DECIDED IT GIVES THEM
LICENCE TO DO VERY EXTREME
THINGS.
>> CLIMATE CHANGE, HUMAN
ACTIVITY IS POISONING THE PLANET
AND WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT IT
ENOUGH.
ALL THE PARTIES HAVE
INSUFFICIENT RESPONSES TO IT.
EVEN GLOBALLY I FEEL LIKE HOW
MANY TIMES DO SCIENTISTS NEED TO
BANG US OVER THE HEAD.
NOW THE HEAD OF THE U.N. SAY WE
ARE ON A SUICIDAL MISSION, AND
NOBODY SEEMS TO BE DOING ENOUGH
ON THE FILE.
MAYBE IT'S A GENERATIONAL THING,
BUT DO THEY WANT CHILDREN IN THE
FUTURE?
MIGRATION CRISIS, ALL THESE
THINGS ARE COMING TO THE DOOR
STEPS.
>> I THINK SHE CALLED THE REST
OF US OLD.
>> OLDER, OLDER.
>> WE HAVE BEEN FOCUSSING ON THE
FEDERAL FILE, $20 BILLION
DEFICIT A PROBLEM OR NOT, AND
SEVERAL ARE HEADING IN 2, 3
DECADES, 200% DEBT TO G.D.P.
RATIO.
TO GIVE THAT PERSPECTIVE WHEN
SASKATCHEWAN NEARLY HIT THE
WALL, THEY WERE AT 60%.
LONG-TERM EXTRAPOLATIONS, BUT
THESE ARE BAKED IN, IT'S
DEMOGRAPHIC.
AGE OF THE POPULATION AND THE
HEALTH CARE COSTS, A REAL
PROSPECT, HARD TO AVOID, ONE OR
MORE OF THE PROVINCES IS GOING
TO BE IN DEFAULT OF THE DEBTS AT
SOME POINT.
I DON'T THINK WE HAVE BEGUN TO
WRAP OUR MINDS AROUND THAT.
>> DEPRESSING WAY TO END
EVERYTHING, LET'S DO IT ALL
AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
>> Adrienne: JUST AHEAD, OUR
MOMENT OF THE DAY.
THE ADVENTURER TREKKING ACROSS
ANTARCTICA.
>> FOR PEOPLE TO DREA
>> Adrienne: FOR A REPORTER
COVERING THE STORY OF ALLEGED
SERIAL KILLER BRUCE McARTHUR WAS
LIKE A CURSE.
AT THE SAME TIME, REPELLENT
AND IRRESISTIBLE.
NO BOTTOM, NO END TO THE
GRUESOME REVELATION AND THEN
CAME THE NIGHTMARES.
REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK.
>> IT'S A SERIAL KILLER.
>> Reporter: THIS STORY WAS
EXCEPTIONAL, THERE WAS NOT THAT
MANY SERIAL KILLERS IN CANADIAN
HISTORY.
IT WAS IN OUR CITY, CLOSE TO
WHERE I LIVE, THE ELEMENT OF
CLOSE TO HOME AND SO UNUSUAL.
>> JOANNA HAS BEEN LEADING OUR
COVERAGE ON THE STORY.
>> ALMOST AS IF YOU WERE READING
A TERRIBLE MYSTERY NOVEL BECAUSE
THE CRIMES WERE SO HORRIFIC BUT
FASCINATING AS WELL.
IN A MORBID WAY, YOU GET CAUGHT
UP IN THE MINUTIA OF IT, AND
RESPECTFUL OF THE FACT THESE ARE
PEOPLE'S LIVES AND FAMILIES OUT
THERE GRIEVING.
ANDREW'S SISTER PATRICIA DID NOT
WANT TO GO ON CAMERA, BUT AT
LEAST SHE CAN BRING HER BROTHER
HOME.
>> THE VICTIMS THEMSELVES AND
THEIR FAMILIES WERE IN RETREAT.
ALMOST LIKE THE PERSONAL STORIES
OF THESE MEN RECEDED IN THE
BACKGROUND.
>> HOW EXTRAORDINARY TO PUT A
PHOTO LIKE THIS UP AT A NEWS
CONFERENCE?
>> I'VE NEVER DONE THIS.
>> GOING TO THE NEWS
CONFERENCES, I WATCHED THE BODY
LANGUAGE, THE POLICE LOOKING
MORE GRIM THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE,
AND IT BECOMES WRITING POINTS OF
YOUR SCRIPT AND OF YOUR STORY
TELLING.
IT WAS NOT ONE BIG SHOCK AND
AWE, WHAT HAPPENED, WHAT WE
KNOW, WRITE ABOUT IT.
EVERY DAY THERE WAS ONE DETAIL
THAT SEEMED TO MAKE THE LAST ONE
LESS GRISLY, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF
IT'S POSSIBLE.
>> WE BELIEVE THERE ARE MORE
VICTIMS ON TOP OF THOSE FIVE,
BUT I DO EXPECT MORE CHARGES TO
BE LAID.
>> WHEN BIG POLICE INVESTIGATION
IS UNFOLDING, MY EXPERIENCE HAS
ALWAYS BEEN THAT POLICE WILL
TALK LESS RATHER THAN MORE.
AND THEN AT THE SAME TIME, IT
NEVER HURTS TO ASK.
SO WE PUT IN THE REQUEST TO
INTERVIEW THE LEAD INVESTIGATOR.
>> I WAS ANGRY THIS HAD GONE ON
IN THIS CITY FOR SOME TIME.
>> I WAS STRUCK BY HIS OPENNESS,
AND HIS CANDOUR.
AND, BY THE FACT THAT HERE IS A
VETERAN COP AND YOU CAN TELL IN
HIS EYES THAT HE IS HORRIFIED BY
THIS CASE.
>> WE ARE NOT GOING TO LEAVE
ANYTHING UNCOVERED.
>> I WOULD ALWAYS ASK THE
QUESTION EVERY TIME I WOULD SEE
HIM EVEN FOR A BACKGROUND
CONVERSATION, WHY DO YOU THINK
THIS MAN DID WHAT YOU ARE SAYING
HE DID?
AND A LOT OF THE TIME IT'S A BIG
SHRUG.
NO REALLY UNDERSTANDING WHAT
MAKES SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING,
ESPECIALLY SOMETHING SO
HORRIFIC.
>> MY ONLY BAD MOMENT IS WHEN MY
MIND WANDERS TO THE LAST FEW
MINUTES OF THE VICTIMS.
>> THAT CONVERSATION WITH THE
HOMEOWNERS ON MALLORY CRESCENT,
THAT TOOK MONTHS, MONTHS OF
PHONE CALLS, OF CONVERSATIONS,
OF LET'S FIGURE OUT IF THE TIME
IS RIGHT, WHEN THE TIME WILL BE
RIGHT.
BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE
WANTED TO KNOW, WHAT'S IT LIKE
TO LIVE IN A HOME THAT WAS USED
AS A CRIME SCENE.
AND WE KNOW THIS WAS WHERE THE
MAJORITY OF THE VICTIMS WERE
FOUND.
>> THE POLICE REPELLED DOWN
THERE.
>> PEOPLE WHO HAD A RELATIONSHIP
WITH A MAN, HE APPEARED TO BE SO
ORDINARY AND KIND, AND HE HAD A
FAMILY, HE HAD KIDS AND HE HAD
GRANDCHILDREN.
IT'S VERY HARD TO RECONCILE AND
TO PIECE TOGETHER A PORTRAIT OF
SOMEBODY WHO IS ACCUSED OF DOING
SUCH HORRIFIC THINGS.
>> WE STILL HAVE TROUBLE PUTTING
THE MAN THAT WE KNEW TOGETHER
WITH THIS ALLEGED SERIAL KILLER.
>> SPEAKING TO THE PEOPLE AT
MALLORY CRESCENT WAS ONE WAY TO
DO IT, SO WE WERE VERY EAGER TO
CONNECT WITH THEM, TO SHARE
THEIR STORY, TO SHARE THEIR
PERSPECTIVE, THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF
BRUCE McARTHUR.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO LIVE IN A PLACE THAT WILL NOW
BE INFAMOUSLY KNOWN AS ONE OF
THE WORST CRIME SCENES IN
CANADIAN HISTORY.
>> HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF LEAVING?
>> OH, ABSOLUTELY NOT, NO.
>> THE STORY WAS PRETTY ALL
CONSUMING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS.
THE TOLL IT TOOK WAS MORE THAT
IT WOULD FEEL AS IF I WAS MORE
TIRED THAN I WAS, OR THAT MY
BRAIN WAS NOT SHUTTING OFF.
IT WOULDN'T SHUT OFF AT NIGHT,
IT WOULDN'T SHUT OFF EVEN IN MY
DREAMS.
I WOULD BE DREAMING ABOUT THE
STORY, DREAMING OF QUESTIONS I
WANTED TO ASK, DREAMING OF THE
VICTIMS AND THINKING OF THEIR
LAST MOMENTS EVEN, LIKE I HAD
NIGHTMARES, DEFINITELY I HAD
NIGHTMARES, AND IT WAS VERY HARD
TO SEPARATE THE STORY BECAUSE IT
WAS RELENTLESS, AT LEAST FOR
SEVERAL WEEKS, RELENTLESS IN
TERMS OF COVERING IT, YOU ARE
WORKING LATE, GETTING HOME LATE,
TAKES YOU A WHILE TO DECOMPRESS.
WHEN YOU DO, THE DREAMS WOULD
COME.
IT'S THAT KIND OF ACCEPTANCE, IF
YOU WILL, THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING
TO SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM THE
STORY COMPLETELY.
SO YOU MANAGE BY EXERCISING AND
MEDITATING AND REMEMBERING ALL
THE THINGS YOU ARE GRATEFUL FOR
IN LIFE AND ACKNOWLEDGING
SOMETIMES THESE STORIES WILL
STAY WITH YOU EVEN WHEN, EVEN
WHEN YOU TRY TO SHUT THEM OUT,
THEY JUST STAY WITH YOU.
WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS.
IT'S NOT LIKE A KIND OF
OCCUPATION YOU CAN CLOSE THE
DOOR AT THE END OF THE DAY, TURN
IT OFF AND SAY OK, I'M NOT GOING
TO THINK ABOUT EVERY HORRIFIC
DETAIL TODAY, YOU MANAGE IT AS
BEST YOU CAN AND EVENTUALLY IT
FADES AND NATURALLY FADES WHEN
THE STORY ITSELF FADES.
>> Adrienne: UP NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL," OUR MOMENT OF THE
DAY.
BUT REMEMBERING A PIONEER IN
CANADIAN JOURNALISM.
MICHAEL MCCLEAR SAW
REVOLUTIONARY CHANGES IN
BROADCASTING AND TRAVELED THE
WORLD AT A TIME WHEN GLOBAL
TELEVISION COVERAGE WAS STILL
BRAND-NEW.
>> REPORTING CBC NEWS.
>> Adrienne: BRITISH-BORN
MCCLEAR JOINED CBC IN 1965.
ALWAYS HUNGRY TO BE WHERE THE
STORY WAS.
>> THEY SAY CASTRO IS ATTEMPTING
TOO MUCH.
>> Adrienne: COVERED FIDEL
CASTRO'S RISE TO POWER IN CUBA.
THE SOVIET INVASION OF
CHECKOSLOVAKIA, AND THE DEATH OF
HO CHI MINH.
HIS VIETNAM WAR REPORTS WERE
SEEN IN MORE THAN 90 COUNTRIES.
IN 1971, HE MOVED TO CTV, THE
NETWORK'S FIRST FOREIGN
CORRESPONDENT AND DRIVING FORCE
BEHIND W5.
MCCLEAR RECEIVED MANY AWARDS,
INCLUDING THE ORDER OF CANADA.
AND THE CANADIAN JOURNALIST
FOUNDATION LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT
AWARD WHICH HE ACCEPTED WITH HIS
TYPICALLY DRY HUMOUR.
>> LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT, EXCUSE
ME, IT -- IT SOUNDS SO FINAL.
>> A
>> Adrienne: WHILE MANY OF US
WERE RECOVERING FROM TURKEY
COMAS, AN AMERICAN SAID HE WAS
PULLING HIS SLED ACROSS AN
INVISIBLE FINISH LINE BECOMING
THE FIRST PERSON IN HISTORY TO
CROSS THE CONTINENT OF
ANTARCTICA COMPLETELY BY
HIMSELF.
THAT IS 54 DAYS, NEARLY 1500
KILOMETRES.
ANYONE ELSE WHO EVER DARED TO
TRY THAT DROPPED OUT OR DIED.
SO HIS STORY IS OUR MOMENT OF
THE DAY.
>> OUT OF MY -- DREAM BIG AND BE
INSPIRED.
>> THE 33-YEAR-OLD STARTED HIS
ADVENTURE IN NOVEMBER.
HE DRAG 200 KILOGRAMS BEHIND
HIM, FOOD, OATMEAL, ENERGY BARS,
EVERY SINGLE BITE MEANT MORE
WEIGHT TO PULL.
THE LAST 125 KILOMETERS HE DID
IN ONE SLEEPLESS, PROBABLY
LONELY 32-HOUR MARATHON.
>> SOMETHING JUST CAME OVER ME.
I WAS JUST LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I WONDER IF I COULD GO IN ONE
CRAZY BIG PUSH.
>> WHEN HE ARRIVED, IT WAS ALL
EMOTION, EXHAUSTION, AND JOIN.
>> TEARS STREAMING DOWN MY FACE
TO AN AUDIENCE OF ZERO.
>> NEARLY TWO MONTHS, HE TOOK
HALF A DAY OFF.
>> A DREAM AS BIG IS CERTAINLY
OUTSIDE OF THE BOX.
>> OKAY.
SO YOU MIGHT HAVE THE SAME
QUESTION I DO.
WHY?
SIMPLE QUESTION.
VERY HARD TO ANSWER, BUT WE KNOW
THIS ABOUT COLIN.
IN 2008, HE WAS INJURED IN
THAILAND, BURNED OVER 25% OF HIS
BODY.
18 MONTHS LATER, HE COMPLETED A
MARATHON, A TRIATHLON AND WON
IT.
NOBODY TELLS HIM THERE'S NOTHING
HE CAN'T DO.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR
DECEMBER 27th.
GOOD NIGHT.
