>> Ian: ON THIS THURSDAY
NIGHT...
>> THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SPOKE AND
DEMANDED A NEW DAWN.
>> Ian: A SEISMIC SHIFT IN
WASHINGTON.
THE DEMOCRATS TAKE BACK THE
HOUSE, LEAVING GOVERNMENT
DIVIDED.
>> HOPEFULLY WE'RE GOING TO WORK
TOGETHER AND GET LOTS OF THINGS
DONE.
>> Ian: BUT AFTER MONTHS OF
FIGHTING, CAN ANYTHING REALLY
CHANGE?
>> IT MIGHT BE A FURTHER
ESCALATION TO THE CANCEL.
>> THE CANADIAN M.P.s AND
SENATORS ARE HEADING TO CHINA
JUST AS BEJING'S WORDS ABOUT THE
DETAINED CANADIANS GET HARSHER.
THE DELICATE DANCE AHEAD.
>> SHOOTS, MAKES THE SAVE!
>> DISAPPOINTING LOSS SETS OFF 0
TORRENT OF UGLY COMMENTS.
>> HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH.
CANADA LOVES YOU.
>> Ian: IT'S SOMETHING TO SMILE
ABOUT.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL".
>> Ian: AS TUMULTUOUS AS THE
LAST TWO YEARS HAVE BEEN, WE'RE
ABOUT TO ENTER A NEW AND
CERTAINLY MORE CONTENTIOUS ERA
IN THE PRESIDENCY OF DONALD
TRUMP.
DEMOCRATS TOOK CONTROL OF THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, ENDING
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TOTAL GRIP
ON POWER IN WASHINGTON.
THE NEW HOUSE LEADER IS NOT
WASTING ANY TIME TAKING ON THE
PRESIDENT.
>> THAT YOU FAITHFULLY DISCHARGE
THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE --
>> CONGRATULATIONS.
>> Reporter: IT IS THE THIRD
MOST POWERFUL POLITICAL POSITION
IN AMERICA, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES AND MAKES
DEMOCRAT NANCY PELOSI NOW IN
EFFECT LEADER OF THE DONALD
TRUMP OPPOSITION.
AS OF TODAY, SHE AND HER PARTY
CONTROL THIS PLACE.
AND WHILE MUCH IS BEING MADE OF
ALL THE NEWLY ELECTED FRESH
FACES, A RECORD NUMBER OF WOMEN
ON CAPITAL HILL AND MORE
DIVERSITY THAN EVER, TODAY THE
REAL FOCUS WAS ON PELOSI, WHO
SIGNALLED SHE'S READY TO TAKE ON
TRUMP.
ON IMMIGRATION, PELOSI QUOTED A
REVERED REPUBLICAN.
>> HE SAID IF WE EVER CLOSE THE
DOOR TO NEW AMERICANS OUR
LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THE WORLD
WILL SOON BE LOST.
RONALD REAGAN.
>> Reporter: BUT THE TO-DO LIST
FOR DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS IS A
LENGTHY ONE.
TODAY, PELOSI PLEDGED ACTION ON
CLIMATE CHANGE, TO STRENGTHEN
GUN CONTROL, TO LOWER THE COST
OF HEALTH CARE AND MORE.
AS FOR THE PRESIDENT, THE KEY
QUESTION IS WHAT ABOUT HIM?
IT'S BELIEVED DEMOCRATS ALSO
WANT LAWS PROTECTING SPECIAL
COUNSEL ROBERT MUELLER, AS WELL
PROVISIONS FORCING ALL
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES TO HAND
OVER THEIR TAX RETURNS.
AND THERE IS ALREADY TALK OF A
PUSH, YES, TO IMPEACH DONALD
TRUMP.
DEMOCRATS CAN NOW ALSO LAUNCH
CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATIONS AND
THEY'RE LIKELY TO EXAMINE
WHETHER TRUMP HAS OBSTRUCTED
JUSTICE, BROKEN CAMPAIGN FINANCE
LAWS AND CHEATED ON HIS TAXES.
>> IT'S A NEW POLITICAL WORLD
FOR THE PRESIDENT.
IF HE'S HAVING A STRUGGLE WITH
OLD POLITICAL WORLD, GET READY
FOR A NEW DAY.
>> Reporter: THEN THERE IS THE
BORDER WALL, STICKING POINT IN
THE ONGOING PARTIAL GOVERNMENT
SHUTDOWN.
TRUMP HIMSELF TODAY STUNNED
REPORTERS WITH HIS FIRST EVER
TRIP TO THE WHITE HOUSE BRIEFING
ROOM TO IMPRESS DEMOCRATS TO
SIGN OFF ON THE TAX MONEY.
>> WITHOUT A STRONG FORM OF
BARRIER, CALL IT WHAT YOU WILL,
BUT WITHOUT A WALL YOU CANNOT
HAVE BORDER SECURITY.
IT WON'T WORK.
>> Reporter: SAID PELOSI
TONIGHT, HE'LL NOT GET A PENNY
FOR IT.
AS BOTH SIDES BRACE FOR BATTLE,
DEEP DIVE INVESTIGATION, INTO
ALL OF IT.
IT BEGINS NOW.
PAUL HUNTER, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Ian: ONE OF THE DEMOCRATS'
FIRST ORDERS OF BUSINESS,
PASSING A BILL TO END THE
PARTIAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN BUT
IT'S NOT EXPECTED TO SURVIVE THE
REPUBLICAN SENATE OR
PRESIDENTIAL VETO.
AFTER 13 DAYS, THE SHUTDOWN
IMPACT IS GROWING.
THE MOST NOTICEABLE IMPACT IS
PARKS AND MONUMENTS.
YOU CAN SEE IT AND SMELL IT.
>> THESE PORTA-POTTIES ARE SO
DISGUSTING.
>> Reporter: AND THE U.S.
CAPITAL, THE GARBAGE CANS ARE
NOT A GOOD LOOK.
IT'S PANDA-CAN, EVEN LESS
EXCITING THAN USUAL.
800,000 FEDERAL WORKERS ARE AT
LEAST TEMPORARILY OUT OF THE
PAYCHEQUE.
>> I HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE
BETWEEN PAYING MY UTILITIES OR
GOING AND BUYING GROCERIES.
>> Ian: THE D.C. MARRIAGE BUREAU
IS F FURLOUGHED.
IMMIGRATION COURTS ARE CLOSED.
AFFECTING THOSE TRYING TO CROSS
LEGALLY INTO THE UNITED STATES.
AND THERE IS NO SIGN THAT ANY OF
THIS WILL END ANY TIME SOON.
>> Adrienne: BLUNT WORDS FROM
BEJING ON TWO CANADIAN
DETAINEES.
THE COUNTRY TOP PROSECUTOR SAYS
HE'S CERTAIN THEY BROKE THE LAW.
CHINA'S HARD LINE MEANS NEITHER
THE LEGAL DRAMA NOR THE
DIPLOMATIC BATTLE ARE ANYWHERE
NEAR BEING OVER, BUT THAT'S NOT
STOPPING A GROUP OF CANADIAN
M.P.s AND SENATORS FROM HEADING
TO CHINA THIS WEEK.
KATIE SIMPSON EXPLAINS.
>> Reporter: NEWS OF WORSENING
TENSIONS BETWEEN CANADA AND
CHINA IS NOT ENOUGH TO STOP A
GROUP OF PARLIAMENT YANS FROM
HEADING TO SHANGHAI ON SATURDAY.
>> AT THE END OF THE DAY IF
THERE WAS A RISK, WE WOULDN'T BE
GOING.
>> Reporter: MICHAEL COOPER IS
ONE OF SIX GOING ON THE MISSION.
>> THE HEAD OF OUR DELEGATION
DID SPEAK WITH OFFICIALS FROM
GLOBAL AFFAIRS CANADA AND THE
MESSAGE THEY SENT IT WAS BETTER
WE GO THAN NOT GO.
IN FACT IT MIGHT BE FURTHER
ESCALATION TO CANCEL.
>> Reporter: CANADA HAS ALREADY
POSTPONED ONE HIGH LEVEL TRIP TO
CHINA.
TOURISM MINISTER MELANIE JOLY
PAUSED PLANS BECAUSE OF THE
DIPLOMATIC DISPUTE.
IT BEGAN WHEN CHINA ARRESTED
MICHAEL KOVRIG AND MICHAEL
SPAVOR AND ACCUSED THE CANADIAN
MEN OF ENDANGERING CHINESE
NATIONAL SECURITY.
THEIR DETENTION IS WIDELY SEEN
AS RETALIATION FOR CANADA'S
ARREST OF HUAWEI C.F.O. MENG
WANZHOU.
IN CHINA'S STRONGEST STATEMENT
YET, THE COUNTRY'S TOP
PROSECUTOR INSISTED THERE IS NO
DOUBT THE TWO CANADIANS VIOLATED
CHINESE LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
CANADA REJECTS THE CLAIMS AND IS
DEMANDING KOVRIG AND SPAVOR BE
RELEASED.
IT WILL BE A FRESH OPPORTUNITY
FOR CANADIANS TO MAKE THAT CASE
IN PERSON.
>> IT'S IMPORTANT THERE BE AS
MANY LINES OF CONTACT WITH CHINA
NOW AS POSSIBLE.
IT'S NOT A TIME TO CUT THINGS
OFF.
>> Reporter: MORE COMMUNICATION
IS WHAT A POWERFUL AMERICAN
LAWMAKER IS CALLING FOR AS WELL.
DEMOCRATIC SENATOR MARK WARNER,
A PROMINENT CHINA CRITIC SAYS
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION NEEDS
TO STEP UP ON BEHALF OF OTTAWA.
>> I THINK WE NEED TO DO MORE TO
BRING OUR PRESSURE AS WELL AS
OTHER OF OUR ALLIES' PRESSURE TO
BEAR ON GETTING THE CANADIAN
CITIZENS RELEASED.
>> Reporter: GLOBAL AFFAIRS
CONFIRMS 13 CANADIANS HAVE BEEN
ARRESTED SINCE THIS DISPUTE
BEGAN.
THE NUMBER MAY SEEM HIGH, BUT
SENIOR SOURCES SAY THAT'S ABOUT
AVERAGE FOR A MONTH IN CHINA,
BUT THE ARRESTS OF MICHAEL
KOVRIG AND MICHAEL SPAVOR ARE
UNUSUAL
STARBUCKS WAS OPENING UP A NEW
STORE THERE EVERY 15 HOURS, BUT
OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS,
EXPERTS NOTICED A MAJOR SHIFT.
>> WE'RE SEEING WEAKNESS IN THE
CONSUMER SECTOR AND WEAKNESS
WHEN IT COMES TO GENERAL
BUSINESS INVESTMENT AS WELL.
AND THE BREADTH OF THAT WEAKNESS
ACROSS ALL OF THE SECTORS MEANS
IT NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.
THIS IS AN ECONOMY SLOWING DOWN
FASTER THAN EXPECTED.
>> Adrienne: WHY?
SOME POINT TO THE TRADE WAR
BETWEEN THE U.S. AND CHINA.
>> BY PLACING TARIFFS ON STEEL
AND ALUMINUM.
>> Adrienne: THE ROOTS OF CHINA
SLOWDOWN MAY BE DEEPER.
>> THIS IS REALLY JUST A CUT ON
TOP OF ALREADY BROKEN ARM.
CHINA IS REALLY MOVING FROM A
MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIAL-BASED
ECONOMY TO A CONSUMER-BASED
ECONOMY.
>> Adrienne: THAT TRANSITION
MEANS THE KIND OF SEDATE GROWTH
YOU SEE IN DEVELOPED ECONOMIES.
BEJING HAS BEEN TRYING TO
ENGINEER THE TRANSITION.
FOR EXAMPLE, BY TAPPING THE
BREAKS ON CREDIT.
0 WE KNOW THAT CHINA IS GOING TO
SLOW OVER THE LONG RUN.
WE'RE HOPING THAT IT'S A SMOOTH
TRANSITION.
IF WE SEE ECONOMIC NUMBERS LIKE
THIS WEEK OUT OF CHINA, THE
CONCERN IS IT'S NOT SMOOTH, A
BUMPY RIDE AND ONE WE'RE GOING
TOO QUICKLY DOWN.
>> Adrienne: IT'S EASY TO SEE
HOW BAD APPLE RESULTS HAVE
RIPPLED THROUGH THE WORLD.
IF CHINESE GROWTH HITS A WALL,
EVERYONE WILL FEEL IT.
EYES WILL BE ON NOT JUST
WASHINGTON, BUT BEJING.
IT'S POSSIBLE THAT ECONOMIC
SLOWDOWN MAY BE PART OF THE
REASON CHINA IS NOT MAKING A
BIGGER FUSS ABOUT THE NEXT
ACHIEVEMENT DOMESTICALLY AT
LEAST.
IT DIDN'T EVEN LEAD THE
NEWSCAST, EVEN THOUGH IT'S
HISTORY.
CHINA MANAGED TO LAND A CRAFT ON
THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.
AND AS BRIAR STEWART TELLS US,
THIS IS PROOF OF CHINA'S
AMBITIONS ON THE WORLD STAGE AND
ABOVE IT.
>> Reporter: SCIENTISTS WITH
CHINA'S NATIONAL SPACE
ADMINISTRATION WATCHED THE FINAL
MOMENTS BEFORE TOUCHDOWN.
THE PROBE LANDED ACCURATELY AND
STEADILY.
ITS TARGET, THE LARGEST, DEEPEST
AND OLDEST CRATERME.T
IT'S ON THE SIDE OF THE MOON
THAT NEVER FACES EARTH.
IN MAY THEY LAUNCHED A SATELLITE
TO RELATE MESSAGES.
IT'S THOSE PICTURES EDWARD
BLOOMER IS SO EXCITED ABOUT.
HE'S AN ASTRONOMER WITH THE
ROYAL OBSERVATORY.
>> IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY
INTERESTING IN GETTING COOL
PICTURES BACK.
>> Reporter: BOTH THE LANDER AND
THE ROVER ARE EQUIPPED WITH
CAMERAS.
THEY WERE LAUNCHED BACK IN
DECEMBER.
THE ENTIRE MISSION HASN'T BEEN
WELL PUBLICIZED, EVEN IN CHINA.
>> THESE THINGS ARE EXPENSIVE
AND COMPLICATED AND THEY TAKE A
LOT OF EFFORT.
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SHOUTING
ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE THAT
EXPENSIVE AND COMPLICATED THAT
MIGHT NOT WORK.
>> Reporter: BUT IT DID WORK AND
IS HERALDED AS A MILESTONE.
UNLIKE OTHER MISSIONS, CHINA'S
PROBE HAS LANDED ON PART OF THE
MOON THAT IS UNEXPLORED.
IT'S GOING TO BE SURVEYING THE
GEOLOGY AND CONDUCTING
EXPERIMENTS AND EXPERTS SAY IT
PLAYS INTO CHINA'S AMBITIONS TO
BE A SPACE SUPER POWER.
CHINA WANTS TO POSITION ITSELF
AS A GLOBAL LEADER, BOTH
POLITICALLY AND WHEN IT COMES TO
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL
ADVANCES.
JOINING THE SPACE RACE IS PART
OF MEETING THAT GOAL.
>> THEY WANT TO PUT HUMANS ON
THE MOON.
THEY WANT TO BUILD A MOON BASE.
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE WORKING
TOWARD AND THEY'RE COLLECTING
DATA TO FIND OUT IS THAT GOING
TO BE PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE?
>> Reporter: AND BECAUSE THIS
MISSION HAS SO FAR BEEN A
SUCCESS, EXPERTS SAY IT'S ONLY
GOING TO ENCOURAGE MORE
COMPETITION TO EXPLORE THE
UNSEEN CORNERS OF SPACE.
>> Ian: THEY'RE DESIGNED TO TAKE
CLOTHING DONATIONS, NOT LIVES,
BUT AT LEAST SEVEN CANADIANS,
FIVE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, HAVE
DIED IN DONATION BINS.
THE LATEST IN WEST VANCOUVER.
PEOPLE CRAWL OR FALL IN AND THEN
THEY CAN'T GET OUT.
AS CHRIS O'NEILL-YATES TELLS US,
SOME COMMUNITIES ARE BANISHING
THE BINS.
>> I CRIED.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
>> Reporter: THE NEWS OF YET
ANOTHER DEATH IN A DONATION
CLOTHING BIN HIT THIS WOMAN
HARD.
HER 45-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER DIED IN
2015 AFTER GETTING STUCK IN A
BIN IN MAPLE RIDGE.
SHE WAS HOMELESS AND COLLECTED
CLOTHES FROM BINS.
>> SHE WASHED THEM AND WOULD
GIVE THEM AWAY TO WHOEVER NEEDED
THEM.
>> Reporter: SHE SAYS SOMETHING
HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THE BINS.
>> SHUT THEM ALL DOWN AND THEN
GET REDESIGN OF THESE THINGS.
>> Reporter: THE LATEST TRAGEDY
HAPPENED IN WEST VANCOUVER.
A 34-YEAR-OLD MAN DIED ON SUNDAY
IN A BIN SIMILAR TO THIS ONE.
THE CITY HAS NOW CLOSED ALL
BINS.
>> I THINK THE NEXT STEP HAS TO
BE INVESTIGATING DIFFERENT BIN
DESIGNS OR MODIFICATION OF THE
BINS.
>> Reporter: THE CITY OF
VANCOUVER ISSUED A STATEMENT
LATE TODAY SAYING ABOUT 90% HAVE
BEEN REMOVED.
ANY REMAINING BINS WILL BE
REMOVED IN EARLY 2019.
THAT ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS ARE
AVAILABLE TO DONATE USED
CLOTHING, INCLUDING THRIFT
STORES.
BUT THOSE WHO WORK WITH
VULNERABLE PEOPLE SAY ACTIONS
SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN LONG AGO
EVERYWHERE.
>> BECAUSE THIS IS A NATIONAL
ISSUE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE
THE BINS THAT ARE HELPING
PEOPLE, BUT ALSO JUST MAKE SURE
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE
ANYBODY'S LIFE.
>> Reporter: ENGINEERS ARE
WORKING ON WAYS TO MAKE SAFER
DONATION BINS.
>> I THINK ANITA WOULD STILL BE
HERE IF THAT DESIGN WOULD HAVE
BEEN MADE A LONG TIME AGO.
>> Reporter: IN THE MEANTIME,
SHE HOPES NO ONE ELSE WILL DIE
THE WAY HER DAUGHTER DID.
>> Ian: TONIGHT, THE NONPROFIT
GROUP THAT OWNS THE BIN INVOLVED
IN THE SUNDAY DEATH SAID IT'S
REMOVING 146 OF THE BINS ACROSS
THE PROVINCE.
INCLUSION B.C. SAID LAST YEAR IT
ASKED ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY
STUDENTS TO WORK ON SAFER
DESIGNS AND THAT THOSE DESIGNS
ARE NOW IN THE PROTOTYPE PHASE.
>> Adrienne: HERE'S ANOTHER
URBAN DANGER.
IMAGINE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY
AND THIS LANDS ON YOUR
WINDSHIELD.
THAT SHEET OF PLYWOOD CAME LOOSE
FROM A TRUCK AND SMASHED INTO
THIS CAR.
THE GOOD NEWS, THE THREE WOMEN
IN THE CAR GOT AWAY WITH JUST
SMALL CUTS, SCRATCHING AND
BRUISES, BUT IT WAS TERRIFYING.
THE DRIVER OF THE CAR IS OUR
WITNESS.
>> I SAW SOMETHING FLYING FROM A
TRUCK.
AND IT GOES STRAIGHT TO MY CAR.
WITHIN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS,
JUST CAME TO MY CAR, HIT MY CAR,
AND COME IN MY CAR.
AND EVEN LIKE I GOT HIT IN MY
ARM.
AND AT THE MOMENT, THEY'RE
SAYING LIKE, YOU HAVE BLOOD IN
YOUR HEAD, TOO.
AND RIGHT AWAY I CALL 911.
AND I SAW LIKE SHE IS BLEEDING
TOO.
I DID FEEL LIKE, LUCKILY, I'M
ALIVE.
AND I SAW LIKE LOTS OF CARS
CROSSING ME AT THE MOMENT.
I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY.
B.C. HIGHWAY, RIGHT?
IN FRONT OF LIKE JUST MIDDLE OF
THE HIGHWAY.
AND NO ONE IS STOPPING.
THE OTHER THEY THINK I SAW AND I
SHOCKED.
>> Ian: SOME OF THE STORIES
WE'RE FOLLOWING TONIGHT ON "THE
NATIONAL".
A 15-YEAR-OLD GIRL DIED AFTER
JUMPING FROM A SKI LIFT IN THE
ABITIBI REGION OF QUÉBEC.
SHE AND HER FRIEND JUMPED OFF
BEFORE REACHING THE TOP.
SHE DIDN'T REALIZE SHE WAS
LANDING ON A SNOW COVERED ROCK.
THE RESORT WAS CLOSED TODAY, BUT
SAYS IT WILL REOPEN TOMORROW.
>>> WE ARE TRACKING A MAJOR
STORM IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.
UP TO 90 MILLIMETRES OF RAIN HAS
FALLEN ACROSS METRO VANCOUVER
SINCE YESTERDAY.
RAINFALL WARNINGS STILL IN
EFFECT AND THAT RAIN MEANT HEAVY
SNOW FOR THE MOUNTAINS.
AN EXTREME AVALANCHE RISK IS IN
PLACE FOR MOST OF B.C.'S
SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS.
THE SAME STORM HAS PROMPTED WIND
AND HEAVY SNOWFALL WARNINGS
THROUGH THE ROCKIES IN ALBERTA.
>>> ANOTHER STORM, THIS ONE IS
SET TO HIT THAILAND.
THIS RESORT ISLAND NORMALLY
BUSTLING WITH TOURISTS, BUT THE
STORM HAS FORCED THOUSANDS TO
FLEE.
IT'S EXPECTED IT TO STRIKE THE
SOUTHERN COAST TOMORROW, HEAVY
RAIN, STRONG WINDS AND HUGE
WAVES.
>> Adrienne: STILL AHEAD, IT'S
THURSDAY, THAT MEANS "AT ISSUE"
AND NOW WE'RE IN AN ELECTION
YEAR, ROSIE PUTS YOUR QUESTIONS
TO THE GANG.
>> Ian: HOW A CANADIAN TEAM
SCORED A HUGE WIN ON THE TENNIS
COURT IS INSPIRING PLAYERS BACK
HOME.
>> IT INSPIRES ME THAT NOTHING
IS IMPOSSIBLE AND YOU CAN ALWAYS
ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS AND DREAMS AESCU WAS 18 AND RIDING HIGH
AFTER THE BIGGEST WIN OF HER
CAREER.
SHE DEFEATED CAROLINE WOZNIACKI,
RANKED NUMBER 3 IN THE WORLD.
NOT BAD FOR SOMEONE RANKED
152ND.
HER IMPRESSIVE WIN IS DRAWING A
LOT OF ATTENTION IN THE TENNIS
WORLD AND SHE'S INSPIRING OTHER
YOUNG WOMEN.
OLIVIA STEFANOVICH HAS THEIR
REACTION.
>> Reporter: IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW
HER NAME BEFORE, GET READY TO
HEAR A LOT MORE ABOUT BIANCA
ANDREESCU.
>> THE QUARTER-FINALS AFTER A
TRULY, TRULY BRILLIANT
PERFORMANCE.
>> Reporter: THE 18-YEAR-OLD
FROM MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, JUST
BEAT THE PLAYER RANKED 3RD
HIGHEST IN THE WORLD.
>> I CAN'T BELIEVE IT RIGHT NOW.
I DREAMT OF PLAYING ON THIS
STAGE AGAINST HOT PLAYERS AND
NOW I'M HERE.
>> Reporter: HER STORYBOOK
PERFORMANCE MADE ALL THE MORE
STUNNING SINCE SHE WAS COUGHING
DURING THE MATCH AND RECOVERING
FROM BACK ISSUES.
>> I JUST FOUGHT UNTIL THE END.
>> THIS MORNING, I SAY, TWO
THUMBS UP.
>> Reporter: HER WIN IS NOT
SURPRISING TO ANDRE LABELLE, WHO
HAS BEEN COACHING HER SINCE SHE
WAS 15.
>> SHE HAS BEEN SAYING THAT ALL
THESE YEARS.
I LIKE TO HAVE GIRLS THEY WANT
TO BE THE BEST.
AND SHE'S 100% COMMITTED TO HER
CAREER.
>> Reporter: HER AMBITION AND
TALENT ARE ALREADY BEING FELT ON
THE COURTS WHERE SHE TRAINS.
>> IT INSPIRES ME THAT NOTHING
IS IMPOSSIBLE.
YOU CAN ALWAYS ACHIEVE YOUR
GOALS AND DREAMS.
>> IT'S HOW HARD YOU WORK TO
BECOME WHO YOU WANT TO BE.
>> Reporter: FOR LABELLE, THAT'S
JUST WHAT HE WANTS TO HEAR.
>> FOR THEM TO SEE, YOU KNOW,
WHAT SHE'S CAPABLE OF DOING.
I THINK IT'S REALLY SHOWING A
PATH THAT ACTUALLY YOU CAN
SUCCEED.
>> Reporter: BIANCA ANDREESCU
FACES VENUS WILLIAMS IN THE
TOURNAMENT.
BEFORE THEY PLAY --
>> FIRST, I HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS
WIN AND THEN THINK ABOUT
TOMORROW.
>> Reporter: SHE'S TAKING IT ALL
IN, AS THOSE BACK HOME WAIT
EAGERLY TO SEE HOW FAR SHE'LL
GO.
>> Ian: UP NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL", ROSIE AND THE "AT
ISSUE" GANG TAKE US INTO 2019
WITH A LOOK AHEAD TO THE BIG
POLITICAL STORIES AND THIS TIME,
SOME OF YOU ASK THE QUESTIONS.
>> MY QUESTION FOR THE "AT
ISSUE" PANEL IS HAVE WE ALREADY
SEEN WHAT WILL BECOME THE MAIN
BALLOT BOX ISSUE FOR THE
ELECTION?
OR IS IT YET TO COME?
>> Ian: "AT ISSUE" IS NEXT.
BUT FIRST...
[ * ]
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, A
CANADIAN ROCK STAR FROM THE 70s
HAS REUNITED WITH A TRUSTY OLD
FRIEND.
MILES GOODWYN, COFOUNDER OF ONE
OF THE GREATEST ROCK BANDS IN
CANADA, APRIL WINE, FELL IN LOVE
WITH THIS MELODY MAKER ON CAPE
BRETON ISLAND 50 YEARS AGO.
THEY HIT THE BIG TIME.
>> I USED IT UP TO 1972, ON TWO
OF APRIL WINE'S RECORDS.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED ON
THIS GUITAR.
* ALL RIGHT
*
>> Ian: COULD HAVE BEEN A LADY
WAS A HIT IN CANADA AND THE
UNITED STATES.
BUT THEN THERE WAS A TRUCK CRASH
AND HE WAS TOLD THE GUITAR WAS
BUSTED.
HE THOUGHT THE TREASURE WAS GONE
FOREVER, UNTIL...
>> I GOT A MESSAGE ON Facebook,
24TH OF DECEMBER, 2018, SAYING I
KNOW WHERE YOUR GUITAR IS, YOUR
MELODY MAKER.
>> I SAID, YEAH, IN HEAVEN.
NO, IT'S IN VICTORIA, B.C.
>> Ian: IT WAS HIS ALL RIGHT.
HIS NAME ON THE HEAD.
ALL THAT WAS MISSING WAS THE
MEMORIES.
>> THAT WAS IN ONE CASE IN A
LIVING ROOM AS A CONVERSATION
PIECE FOR 15 YEARS.
AND IT MISSED OUT ON YEARS OF
THE GREAT APRIL WINE HITS.
I WOULD HAVE PLAYED ROLLER ON
THIS BACK THEN.
[ * ]
YEP.
I WOULD HAVE -- IT WOULD HAVE
PLAYED IT ON THIS, BUT I DIDN'T
[LAUGHTER].
YOU KNOW?
BUT I DID PLAY --
[ * ]
* THIS IS MY LIFE >> MY QUESTION FOR THE " AT
ISSUE" PANEL...
>> MY QUESTION FOR THE TESH
TISSUE PANEL...
>> MY WE FOR THE "AT ISSUE"
PANEL IS...
>> MY QUESTION FOR THE "AT
ISSUE" PANEL IS...
>> WE PUT OUT A CALL AND YOU
GUYS DELIVERED.
TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO ANSWER
SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS, THE
VIEWER QUESTIONS YOU SENT IN.
ALTHIA, PAUL, CHANTAL AND ANDREW
ALL WITH ME IN STUDIO.
AND THIS PROP THAT OUR PRODUCERS
HAVE COME UP WITH.
YOU KNOW I DO "AT ISSUE"
ROULETTE.
WE'RE SO HIGH TECH AT THE CBC.
[LAUGHTER] THAT'S GOING TO
DETERMINE WHO WILL ANSWER THE
FIRST QUESTION.
THE FIRST IS FROM SARAH STRODER
IN YELLOWKNIFE.
>> MY QUESTION FOR THE "AT
ISSUE" PANEL, HAVE WE ALREADY
SEEN WHAT WILL BECOME THE MAIN
BALLOT BOX ISSUE FOR THE
ELECTION OR IS IT YET TO COME?
>> Rosemary: I'M SPINNING IT.
I'M REALLY DOING THAT.
ANDREW?
THE ISSUE FOR THE NEXT ELECTION,
DO WE KNOW IT OR YET TO COME?
>> WE DON'T KNOW IT.
I'M NOT SURE IT IS YET TO COME
BECAUSE I REJECT THE IDEA OF A
BALLOT BOX ISSUE.
THIS IS SOMETHING WE IN THE
MEDIA GET SUCKED INTO, BECAUSE
THE PARTIES HAVE THEIR PREFERRED
BALLOT BOX ISSUE.
BUT THERE ARE 17 MILLION VOTERS
OUT THERE AND EACH HAS THEIR OWN
ISSUE.
>> Rosemary: IT GALVANIZES A
LITTLE BIT.
>> REGARDLESS OF SPECIFIC
ISSUES, YOU HAVE TRANSFERENCE.
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS WELL BE AN
ELECTION WHERE THE MOVE FOR
CHANGE WILL BE A HUGE FACTOR,
NOT LIKE ONTARIO AND QUÉBEC,
BECAUSE THIS IS A GOVERNMENT
WITH ONLY ONE TERM.
BUT BEYOND THAT, COMPETENCE
COMES INTO PLAY.
ONCE YOU'VE LOOKED AT ALL THE
ISSUES, THE QUESTION WILL BE WHO
DO I TRUST TO BE PRIME MINISTER?
AND THAT IS THE QUESTION THAT
COMES BACK IN EVERY ELECTION.
>> Rosemary: PAUL?
>> I SUSPECT WE HAVE SEEN THE
ISSUE THAT WILL DRIVE MOST OF
THE DECISIONS OF UNDECIDED
VOTERS IN THE NEXT ELECTION, WE
JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS YET.
LIKE AGATHA CHRISTIE NOVEL.
PROFESSOR CLIMATE CHANGE, MISS
MIGRATION, DR. AFFORDABILITY,
STAY TUNED FOR THE LAST ACT WHEN
IT WILL BE REVEALED.
>> PEOPLE WHO ARE CHOOSING
BETWEEN THE CONSERVATIVES AND
THE LIBERALS.
LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO VOTE
N.D.P.
PEOPLE HAVE A MILLION DIFFERENT
REASONS FOR VOTING.
>> I AGREE WITH CHANTAL, TRUST
AND COMPETENCE IS WHAT IS AT
STAKE IN THE ELECTION.
I ALSO THINK THERE CAN BE SIDE
ISSUES LIKE MIGRATION, CLIMATE
CHANGE, GUNS.
EVEN ELECTORAL REFORM FOR SOME
PEOPLE MIGHT SPEAK TO
COMPETENCE.
CAN YOU TRUST JUSTIN TRUDEAU IF
HE BROKE HAD IS PROMISE THE LAST
TIME.
THERE IS NOW TALK WE MIGHT SEE A
GLOBAL RECESSION.
WELL, THAT CHANGES THE TONE.
MAYBE PEOPLE DIDN'T CARE ABOUT
DEFICITS, BUT MAYBE THEY'LL
START CARING STRONGLY.
>> Rosemary: IT DEPENDS ON WHERE
YOU LIVE, TOO.
NEXT QUESTION IS -- I'M GOING TO
SPIN IT AS I'M WATCHING.
TRAVIS MITCHELL IN BRAMPTON,
ONTARIO.
>> MY QUESTION IS, HOW MUCH FOR
THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY IN
PARTICULAR?
>> SO TO YOU, CHANTAL.
>> WE DON'T KNOW IS THE SHORT
ANSWER.
IT'S TOO EARLY TO TELL.
FOR SURE, MAXIME BERNIER IS
MOSTLY FISHING IN CONSERVATIVE
WATERS WHICH IS UNNERVING FOR
THE CONSERVATIVES.
HE'S DOING WELL IN THE WATERS IN
PLACES LIKE SASKATCHEWAN AND
ALBERTA WHERE THERE IS NOT A LOT
OF DESTRUCTION THAT HE CAN WREAK
ON THE CONSERVATIVES BECAUSE
THEY HAVE SUCH A WIDE BASE.
THE REAL QUESTION IS, TO ME,
WILL HE BE A FACTOR IN ONTARIO
WHERE THE BATTLE WILL BE
COMPETITIVE AND WILL GO A LONG
WAY TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT'S A
MAJORITY, MINORITY, CONSERVATIVE
OR LIBERAL GOVERNMENT.
AND IF HE IS A FACTOR IN
ONTARIO, THAT WILL BE BAD NEWS
FOR ANDREW SCHEER.
>> I SUSPECT MORE THAN PERHAPS
ME MIGHT ESTIMATE AT THIS TIME.
I SAY THAT BY LOOKING AT THE
CONSERVATIVES' BODY LANGUAGE.
IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, SCHEER
HAS BEEN TAKING POSITIONS ON FOR
EXAMPLE TARGETING THE MEDIA,
THEN BACKED AWAY A LITTLE BIT.
PARTICULARLY ON THE GLOBAL
MIGRATION, THIS ISSUE FROM THE
FEVER SWAMP OF THE RIGHT WING
BLOG SPHERE.
>> I 100% AGREE WITH ANDREW.
I THINK THE FACT THAT ANDREW
SCHEER CAME OUT AND TOOK SUCH A
DECISIVE STAND ON THE GLOBAL
MIGRATION COMEBACK, WHICH IS NOT
ANYTHING IN THE GROCERY STORES
THAT PEOPLE SEEM TO BE TALKING
ABOUT.
IT WAS ON SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS.
MAXIME BERNIER WAS GOING TO
RALLIES AND SAYING I'M THE ONLY
POLITICAL PARTY THAT IS WILLING
TO STAND UP ON THE ISSUE, THE
CONSERVATIVES ARE NOT WILLING TO
DO THIS.
THEY TOOK THAT AWAY FROM HIM.
THEY WOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT IF
THEY DIDN'T FEEL THEY WERE
CREATING A WEDGE ISSUE.
SO I THINK THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT
WORRIED THEIR PEOPLE WON'T BE AS
MOBILIZED TO COME OUT THE POLLS,
REALLY THAT MORE THAN HE'S GOING
TO CAPTURE THE 1% OF POLLS THAT
IS GOING TO IMPACT THEIR
CHANCES.
>> I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF THE
MARGIN OF LIBERAL VICTORY OVER
THE CONSERVATIVES IN THE NEXT
ELECTION, IF THAT'S HOW IT ENDS
UP, IS SMALLER THAN THE VOTE OF
THE MAXIME BERNIER PARTY.
I WILL BE REAL SURPRISED IF
MAXIME BERNIER BY HIMSELF IS
ENOUGH TO LOSE THIS ELECTION FOR
THE CONSERVATIVES.
CONSERVATIVES ARE GOING TO WIN
DESPITE HIM, OR THEY'RE GOING TO
LOSE AND HE WOULDN'T HAVE HELPED
IF HE STAYED ON BOARD.
ONE OF THE THINGS CONSERVATIVES
HAVE TO DO IN THE INTERIM, I
CAN'T PREDICT THEIR BEHAVIOR,
BUT THEY NEED TO ACT LIKE THE
PARTY THAT MAXIME BERNIER VOTERS
CAN COME BACK HOME TO IF THEY
GIVE UP ON BERNIER.
THEY CAN'T DENIGRATE THE PARTY,
THE MEMBERS OR THE CHOICES.
AND THEY HAVE TO SOUND AT LEAST
HALFWAY ACCEPTABLE ON THE
ISSUES.
>> WHY THOUGH?
BECAUSE A LOT OF THOSE PEOPLE
DON'T SEEM THEY VOTED.
>> IT'S ON THE LEST OF THINGS
THAT A COMPLEX PARTY HAS TO DO
IN COMPLEX VOTES.
THIS EH TO APPEAL TO -- THEY
HAVE TO APPEAL TO BLUE ORANGE,
IT'S ON THE LEST OF THINGS TO
DO.
>> BUT TO REMAIN ATTRACTIVE TO
CONSERVATIVE FRINGE, THEY'RE
GOING TO BE LOSING THE VOTES
THEY NEED FROM THE LIBERALS,
THAT THEY NEED TO PULL OUT.
>> I HEARD PEOPLE SAY THAT ABOUT
STEPHEN HARPER FOUR CAMPAIGNS IN
A ROW.
>> Rosemary: LET'S MOVE ON TO
QUESTION 3.
WE'LL AGREE TO DISAGREE.
MICHAEL SAD IN ALBERTA ASKS
THIS.
>> I'M MIKE, MY QUESTION FOR THE
"AT ISSUE" PANEL, WHAT IN THE
PANEL'S OPINION IS THE BIGGEST
THREAT FACING CANADIAN UNITY AND
FEDERALISM HEADING INTO 2019?
>> I THINK REALLY RIGHT NOW,
THAT'S WHERE MOST OF THE FERVOR
THAT IS ANTI-FEDERATION SEEMS TO
BE COMING FROM.
THERE IS NO HUGE THREAT COMING
FROM QUÉBEC.
I THINK THERE IS NO REAL THREAT
COMING FROM ALBERTA EITHER, BUT
I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF
DISENCHANTMENT AND THAT SPEAKS
TO WHAT RACHEL NOTLEY IS DOING
AND JASON KENNEY AS WELL.
>> IT'S GOING TO BE VERY
DIFFICULT FOR WHOEVER IS PRIME
MINISTER TO RECONCILE ALBERTA'S
EXPECTATIONS ON THE PIPELINE
FRONT, AND THE RESISTANCE IN
PLACES LIKE QUÉBEC AND B.C.
AND THAT COULD LEAD TO A FAIRLY
ACRIMONIOUS TIME.
IT ALREADY IS.
>> Rosemary: YOU WERE AT THE
FIRST MINISTERS' MEETING AND
THAT WAS APPARENT, IT WASN'T
JUST ONE PLACE THE PRIME
MINISTER IS HAVING TROUBLE WITH.
IT'S DIFFERENT PLACES FOR
DIFFERENT REASONS.
>> SO TO RIP ON THE VIEWERS
QUESTION, IT IS CLEAR, IF IT WAS
NOT ALREADY CLEAR THAT QUÉBEC IS
NOT A SHORT-TERM TREK TO
NATIONAL.
THE EXTENT TO WHICH ALBERTA IS A
REAL THREAT, YOU KNOW, I EXPECT
THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF
HEAT AROUND THE SAME ISSUES BY
NEXT SUMMER BECAUSE THERE IS A
GOOD CHANCE THAT JASON KENNEY,
WHOSE SUPERB POLITICAL OPERATOR,
THESE ARE ALL HIS ISSUES AND
HE'S GOING TO BE LOOKING TO
DEMONSTRATE HE CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE.
HE'S GOING TO BE IN THE
EQUATION.
I'LL BE CURIOUS TO SEE IF JASON
KENNEY CAN BE MORE EFFECTUAL
THAN RACHEL NOTLEY HAS.
WE'LL FIND OUT.
>> Rosemary: HE'LL BE PROBABLY
LOUDER.
I WOULD SAY HE'S BETTER AT
TAKING UP SPACE.
SHE IS DOING THAT, BUT --
>> MAYBE LESS CONSTRUCTIVE.
>> HE WILL ABSOLUTELY BE COMING
WITH THE BOXING GLOVES ON.
LOANING, ALBERTA IS -- LOOK,
ALBERTA IS A VERYING ONRY ANGRY
PLACE RIGHT NOW.
IF PEOPLE IN ALBERTA ARE TOLD,
SORRY, YOUR OIL IS SHUT IN
BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
CAN'T EXERCISE ITS
RESPONSIBILITIES AND GET
INFRASTRUCTURE BUILT, EVEN ASIDE
FROM THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF
THAT, I THINK THE SYMBOLISM OF
IT, AND WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT
ALBERTA'S PLACE IN THE
FEDERATION IS LETHAL.
>> THERE ARE PEOPLE HOPING THEY
CAN GET SHOVELS BACK IN THE
GROUND FOR THE TRANS MOUNTAIN
EXPANSION WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION
SEASON RESUMES.
WHETHER THAT IS OPTIMISTIC,
WISHFUL THINKING, I CAN'T TELL
YOU, BUT THEY'RE STILL HOPING TO
CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE BACKGROUND
OF SHOVELS IN THE GROUND.
>> Rosemary: BUT THEY'RE UP
AGAINST THE REALITY THEY HAVE TO
DO THIS MEANINGFUL CONSULTATION
WITH FIRST NATIONS AND IF FIRST
NATIONS SAY WE NEED MORE TIME, I
DON'T KNOW HOW THEY GET AROUND
THAT.
>> SHOVELS IN THE GROUND WON'T
SAVE ALBERTA.
>> I WASN'T SUGGESTING THAT, BUT
IT WILL BE A MORE POSITIVE
SITUATION THAN IT IS NOW.
AND THE COURT DID SUGGEST IT
NEED NOT BE A LENGTHY PROCESS.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Rosemary: WE HAVE A QUESTION
FROM A YOUNG JOURNALIST,
STARTING HIS CAREER IN
MINNESOTA, OF ALL PLACES.
HIS QUESTION IS ABOUT THE
RHETORIC OF THE U.S. PRESIDENT
TOWARD JOURNALISTS.
>> I WONDER HOW THE RHETORIC IS
IN CANADA AND HOW THAT IS SEEN
FROM THERE, AND WHAT IT MEANS
FOR COVERING POLITICS?
>> Rosemary: THAT IS ALEX
VEENEMAN IN MINNESOTA.
>> AT A MINIMUM, WHEN THE
PRESIDENT CALLS THE PRESS THE
ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE, IT MAKES
ME SAD.
AND IT DOES MAKE ME WORRY FOR A
LOT OF MY COLLEAGUES DOWN THERE
WHO ARE IN REAL DANGER OF
PHYSICAL ATTACK FROM PEOPLE WHO
TAKE THESE THINGS THE WRONG WAY.
I ALSO THINK THIS IS, TO SOME
EXTENT, THE SCAPEGOATING OF
JOURNALISTS IS KIND OF AN THING
THAT JOURNALISTS HAVE TO FACE.
MY FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS AS A
REPORTER FOR THE MONTREAL
GAZETTE, I COVERED DEMONSTRATION
BY TRUCKERS AND SOME GUY CAME
CLOSE TO KNOCKING MY BLOCK OFF
BECAUSE HE WAS MAD ABOUT
REPORTERS.
BUT IT'S THE SORT OF THING THAT
PEOPLE IN POSITIONS OF
RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD NOT
PROVOKE THROUGH THEIR WORDS AND
ACTIONS.
UNFORTUNATELY RIGHT NOW, THE
APPROXIMA
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
IS NOT A POSITION OF
RESPONSIBLE.
>> Rosemary: I KNOW YOU ALLUDED
TO THE MOMENT ANDREW SCHEER
THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GO DOWN
THIS ROAD, BUT IS IT PERCOLATING
HERE, THAT KIND OF RHETORIC?
>> EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THE
CONSERVATIVES SEND A NOTE SAYING
THE LIBERAL MEDIA IN OTTAWA IS
AGAINST THEM.
BUT WE HAVE NOT SEEN AT ALL, AND
I DON'T THINK WE'LL SEE FROM THE
CONSERVATIVES THE TYPE OF
LANGUAGE WE SEE FROM THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
WHICH IS A GOOD THING.
I THINK THE PRIME MINISTER AND
THE LIBERALS HAVE KIND OF, LIKE
THEY TEND TO DO WITH MANY
ISSUES, OVERREACH TO MAKE A
POINT.
AND THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE
JOURNALISM AND JOURNALISTS
ANOTHER ONE OF THESE WEDGE
ISSUES THAT PLACES THEM AGAINST
DONALD TRUMP.
AND I THINK A LOT OF REPORTERS,
ESPECIALLY IN OTTAWA, ARE VERY
UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THEIR PLAY ON
THAT.
>> Rosemary: THAT GOES BACK TO
VALUES, TRYING TO SUGGEST THAT
JOURNALISM, DEMOCRACY IS A
LIBERAL VALUE.
>> CONSERVATIVES WILL ALWAYS
COMPLAIN ABOUT NOT GETTING A
FAIR SHAKE WITH MEDIA AND WITH
SOME JUSTICE.
THE MEDIA DOES LEAN LEFT.
BUT THIS IS IN AN ENTIRELY
DIFFERENT TERRITORY OF OUTRIGHT
DEMONIZATION, NOT JUST
SKEPTICISM ABOUT THE MEDIA,
WHICH IS WELL WARRANTED, BUT
JUST BLIND REJECTION OF
EVERYTHING THE MEDIA SAYS MUST
BE WRONG.
I THINK IN THE TRUMP POPULIST
CASE IT'S PART OF A BROADER
REJECTION OF KNOWLEDGE AND
ELITES AND PEOPLE WHO KNOW
STUFF, SO WE'RE JUST ONE PART OF
THAT, BUT IT BECOMES
PARTICULARLY TOXIC AS PAUL SAID,
WHEN POLITICAL LEADERS, NOT JUST
TRUMP, BUT OTHERS ARE LEADING
THE CHAPTER AND MAKE -- CHANT.
THAT HAS GONE WAY OVER THE LINE.
>> AND I HAVE SEEN SO FAR NO
EVIDENCE THAT THE SERIOUS
CONSERVATIVES WHO ARE INDULGING
IN THAT KIND OF LANGUAGE, WHEN
ONE OF THEM DOES, IF THAT
HAPPENS, I'LL DECIDE THAT PERSON
IS NOT A SERIOUS RESPONSIBLE
POLITICIAN.
>> Rosemary: DON'T WRITE ME FOR
THE "AT ISSUE" ROULETTE THINGS.
THIS IS CUSTOM MADE
ONE-OF-A-KIND.
THANK YOU, ALL, APPRECIATE YOU
BEING HERE.
>> Adrienne: STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL", FINDING HOPE IN AN
IMAGE.
WE VISIT A COMMUNITY IN NORTHERN
SASKATCHEWAN WITH A NEW
PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB AND IT'S SAVING
LIVES.
>> JUST FORGET ABOUT EVERYTHING.
LOOKING AT THE BEAUTY.
TOO BUSY GETTING THE PERFECT
ANGLE.
IT TAKES ALL YOUR PROBLEMS AWAY.
>> Ian: AMONG THE STORIES WE'RE
WATCHING, THE LATEST ON THE
AMERICAN BORN IN CANADA ACCUSED
OF SPYING BY RUSSIA.
PAUL WHELAN HAS BEEN FORMALLY
CHARGED WITH ESPIONAGE AND IS
HELD AT THIS PRISON IN MOSCOW.
THE CHARGES CARRY A SENTENCE UP
TO 20 YEARS.
HIS RUSSIAN DEFENCE LAWYER SAYS
WHELAN IS IN A GOOD MOOD, BUT
THE TENSION IS UNWARRANTED.
HIS FAMILY SAYS HE'S NOT A SPY,
SAYING THE FORMER U.S. MARINE
WAS IN MOSCOW TO ATTEND A
WEDDING WHEN ARRESTED LAST WEEK.
>>> IT HAS BEEN THREE MONTHS
SINCE THE DEATH OF JAMAL
KHASHOGGI.
TODAY, THE TRIAL OF HIS ALLEGED
ATTACKERS GOT UNDER WAY.
11 MEN ARE FACING CHARGES AND
PROSECUTORS SAY THEY'RE SEEKING
THE DEATH PENALTY FOR FIVE OF
THEM.
10 OTHER SUSPECTS ARE STILL
UNDER INVESTIGATION.
KHASHOGGI WAS KILLED IN OCTOBERS
INSIDE THE SAUDI CONSULATE IN
ISTANBUL.
HIS REMAINS NEVER FOUND.
>> Adrienne: IT IS A STATISTIC
PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE
BEEN WORKING TO CHANGE FOR
YEARS.
SUICIDE RATES FOR INDIGENOUS
YOUTH ARE UP TO SEVEN TIMES
HIGHER THAN FOR OTHER YOUNG
PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY.
COMMUNITIES IN NORTHERN
SASKATCHEWAN HAVE BEEN HIT
PARTICULARLY HARD IN RECENT
YEARS, BUT A NEW PROGRAMME IN A
VILLAGE 490 KILOMETRES NORTH OF
SASKATOON HAS HINTS OF HOPE.
MORE ON HOW PINEHOUSE DISCOVERED
THE HEALING POWER OF
PHOTOGRAPHY.
>> Reporter: SKYLER LARIVIERE
SEES OPPORTUNITIES FOR PHOTOS
ALMOST EVERYWHERE.
>> COOL.
>> Reporter: LOOKING UP AND
DOWN.
THE 16-YEAR-OLD CAPTURES EACH
SNAPSHOT WITH A CAREFUL
CONFIDENCE.
ON THIS COOL FALL DAY, SHE'S
WITH A GROUP OF AMATEUR
PHOTOGRAPHERS.
THEY'RE WINDING THEIR WAY
THROUGH BOREAL FORESTS TO THE
BASE OF A WATERFALL TO TAKE
PICTURES.
A FEW MONTHS AGO IT WAS A VERY
DIFFERENT STORY.
LARIVIERE WAS ALONE IN THE
FOREST, READY TO GIVE UP ON
LIFE.
SHE SURVIVED THREE SUICIDE
ATTEMPTS IN A SPAN OF SIX
MONTHS.
>> I ALMOST PULLED THE TRIGGER
TO MY HEAD.
I THOUGHT ABOUT IT, THERE IS
MORE TO THIS THAN WHAT IS
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
I HAVE A PURPOSE IN LIFE.
>> Reporter: LARIVIERE GOT HELP
AT THE NORTHERN VILLAGE OF
PINEHOUSE MEDICAL CENTRE.
SHE MET DRE ERWIN WHO INVITED
HER TO JOIN THE PHOTOGRAPHY
CLUB.
THE FOLLOWING YEAR, HE MOVED TO
PINEHOUSE AND ONE NIGHT A
ROUTINE TRIP TO LET HIS DOG OUT
TURNED INTO AN AWESOME
DISCOVERY.
THE SKY WAS DANCING OVER
PINEHOUSE LAKE.
>> I REMEMBER LOOKING UP
THINKING, WHAT THE HECK?
WHAT IS OUT HERE?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
>> Reporter: HIS NORTHERN LIGHTS
PHOTOS STARTING GETTING
ATTENTION ON Facebook.
HE REALIZED PHOTOGRAPHY COULD
HELP OTHERS WHO WERE STRUGGLING.
ON CLEAR NIGHTS LIKE THIS ONE,
THE PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE OUTSIDE.
FOR MANY OF THEM, THESE MEETINGS
HAVE WARMED UP THEIR WORLD.
>> EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A
REASON, RIGHT?
>> Reporter: LOUIS IRON JOINED
THE CLUB SHORTLY AFTER HIS
STEPFATHER TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
THE 15-YEAR-OLD BECAME SUICIDAL.
BUT ONCE HE BECAME TAKING
PICTURES, HIS PERSPECTIVE
STARTED TO CHANGE.
>> I FEEL LIKE GOD SENT SOMEBODY
BECAUSE IT'S REALLY, REALLY
HELPING ME A LOT.
>> Reporter: NIGHTS SPENT AROUND
THE FIRE TAKING PHOTOS ARE A
WORLD AWAY FROM THE PARTIES WITH
DRUGS AND ALCOHOL.
AFTER SEEING THE DIFFERENCE
PHOTOGRAPHY WAS MAKING, ELDERS
DECIDED TO INTRODUCE IT INTO THE
COMMUNITY'S ADDICTION TREATMENT
PROGRAMME.
JENNA NATOMAGAN WAS ONE OF THE
FIRST TO PICK UP A CAMERA.
>> YOU JUST FORGET ABOUT
EVERYTHING.
YOU'RE TOO BUSY LOOKING AT THE
BEAUTY.
>> Reporter: THE 33-YEAR-OLD
MOTHER OF THREE IS A RECOVERING
CRACK ADDICT.
SHE TOOK THOUSANDS OF PHOTOS OF
THE SUN IN HER MONTH OF REHAB.
>> Reporter: THE PHOTOGRAPHY
CLUB HAS CAUGHT THE ATTENTION OF
SOCIAL WORKERS AND RECEIVED A
GRANT FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO SET UP A STUDIO
SPACE.
IT'S ILLUMINATING A PATHWAY
FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE.
>> I WANT TO SHOW THEM HOW I
BECAME STRONGER AND BETTER,
WISER.
>> Ian: COMING UP, OUR MOMENT OF
THE DAY.
AFTER THE CRUSHING WORLD
JUNIORS' LOSS, SOME FANS LOSE
THEIR PERSPECTIVE, CRUDELY
CRITICIZING TEAM CANADA'S
CAPTAIN.
BUT WE FOUND FANS WITH A
DIFFERENT MESSAGE.
>> YOU CAN BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU
ACCOMPLISHED THIS TOURNAMENT.
DO NOT LET THOSE HATEFUL
COMMENTS GET YOU.
WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST.
>> Adrienne: FIRST, PREVIEW OF
AN INTERVIEW YOU'LL SEE SUNDAY
ON "THE NATIONAL".
ROSIE SITS DOWN WITH RICK MERCER
TO TALK ABOUT HIS NEW BOOK.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS YOU TALK
ABOUT IS MARIJUANA.
IT IS NOW LEGAL.
I'M NOT GOING TO ASK YOU IF
YOU'VE BEEN SMOKING.
>> WELL, YOU CAN, BECAUSE I
DON'T SMOKE MARIJUANA.
BECAUSE MY RELIGION.
NO [LAUGHTER].
I JUST DON'T.
I NEVER HAVE.
I FIND IT AMAZING THAT NOTHING
HAPPENED.
IT'S JUST AMAZING.
NOTHING HAPPENED.
THE OTHER DAY I'M AT THE
AIRPORT, TAKES OUT THE LAPTOP,
TAKES OUT THE PLASTIC CONTAINER
OF CANNABIS, GOES TO THE
SCANNER.
NOTHING HAPPENED.
KIND OF EQUATE IT TO FINALLY
GETTING AIR-CONDITIONING.
PEOPLE SAY, WE SHOULD HAVE DONE
THIS
>>> HE'S GOING TO GO WITH THE
CAPTAIN.
>> IT WOULD HAVE WON CANADA THE
GAME.
THE CAPTAIN AWARDED A PENALTY
SHOT IN OVERTIME AT THE WORLD
JUNIOR QUARTER FINALS.
>> COMTOIS MAKING A DAY.
>> ENGLAND WOULD GO ON TO WIN
AND CANADA ELIMINATED.
>> IT'S NOT THE FIRST ONE I
MISSED AND IT'S NOT GOING TON
THE LAST ONE.
IT HAS AT THAT HURT.
>> PERHAPS IT WON'T SURPRISE YOU
ON SOCIAL MEDIA UNHAPPINESS
AMONG FANS TURNED UGLY.
SOME OF IT AIMED AT THE YOUNG
CAPTAIN JUST 19 YEARS OLD.
ICE HOCKEY PLAYER I'VE NOT SEEN.
A LOT OF IT MORE CRUDE, YOU FING
USELESS BAG OF --
REPRESENTATIVES RELEASED A
STATEMENT COMING TO HIS DEFENCE
SAYING IT IS SHAMEFUL AND
INCOMPREHENSIBLE THAT A FEW
COWARDS WHO CAN HIDE BEHIND
SOCIAL MEDIA CAN MAKE VICIOUS
ATTACKS ON THIS YOUNG MAN'S
CHARACTER AFTER THEY BATTLED
THEIR HEARTS OUT FOR THEIR
COUNTRY.
>> IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH TO
QUIET THE TROLLS.
OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA USERS PICKED
UP THE CHARGE, THE MESSAGES OF
SUPPORT FOR COMTOIS ARE OUR
MOMENT OF THE DAY.
>> HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH.
>> AS A FRENCH CANADIAN, I'M
VERY PROUD YOU'RE OUR CAPTAIN.
YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU
ACCOMPLISHED.
>> HEY, MAX, KEEP IT UP.
WE LOVE YOU, BUDDY.
>> AS A CANADIAN, I'M PROUD OF
THE EFFORTS YOU AND YOUR TEAM
GAVE AT THE WORLD JUNIOR
CHAMPIONSHIPS.
YOU GUYS SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOUR
EFFORTS AS WELL.
IT WAS EVIDENCE YOU LEFT NOTHING
ON THE ICE.
>> DO NOT LET THOSE HATEFUL
COMMENTS GET YOU.
I'M WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST.
>> NOT THE RESULT YOU WANTED,
BUT YOU GROW AND MOVE ON FROM
THIS AND YOU CONTINUE TO STAND
TALL WITH YOUR HEADS UP.
>> WE LOVE YOU.
>> CANADA LOVES YOU.
>> FANTASTIC MESSAGES THERE.
THERE'S SO MUCH WE CAN SAY.
LET'S START WITH THESE TWO
POINTS.
THE KID WAS BORN IN 1999.
HE IS JUST THAT, A KID, A YOUNG
MAN, AND IT'S JUST A HOCKEY
GAME.
SURE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT
IF CANADA WON.
THE LACK OF PERSPECTIVE FROM
SOME PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA
CONTINUES TO ASTONISH ME.
>> IT MAY BE HARD, BUT THE
HOPEFULLIED GOOD MESSAGES RING
LOUDER THAN THE OTHER ONES MUCH
THE NEXT TO OF KEEPING IT
CLASSY, YESTERDAY WAS
INTERESTING BECAUSE LAST NIGHT,
SYDNEY CROSBY WAS HECKLED BY A
FAN THAT PEOPLE HEARD IT ACROSS
MADISON SQUARE GARDENS.
HE'S AT THE TOP OF HIS GAME.
WHAT DID HE DO?
HE SIGNED A STICK AND SAID TO
THE GOOD, GOOD CHIRPS, BUT NEXT
TIME, TAKE IT EASY ON ME,
KEEPING IT CLASSY.
MAYBE THAT'S THE WAY TO KEEP IT
QUIET.
>> I DO NOT GET THE CULTURE OF
STANDING UP IN A STADIUM.
THE RUDE STUFF, I DON'T GET.
>> NO ONE WOUL WOULD ACCUSE YOU OF
EVER DOING THAT.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR
JANUARY 3rd.
