>> Adrienne: GOOD EVENING, I'M
ADRIENNE ARSENAULT.
>> Andrew: AND I'M ANDREW CHANG.
TONIGHT, CANADA'S FIRST FEMALE
FINANCE MINISTER.
>> IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT WE BROKE
THAT GLASS CEILING.
>> Andrew: A HISTORIC PICK IN
UNPRECEDENTED TIMES.
THE TRUDEAU GOVERNMENT PLANS AN
ECONOMIC RE-SET, BUT WILL IT BE
ENOUGH TO TURN THE PAGE ON THE
We CONTROVERSY?
>> Adrienne: A COVID SPIKE IN
THE WEST.
>> I DON'T THINK WE EXPECTED
QUITE THIS RATE OF GROWTH AND
THIS SUSTAINED.
>> Adrienne: TESTING SITES AT
CAPACITY IN B.C., AND A HEALTH
WATCH ISSUED IN EDMONTON.
>> Andrew: HOW THE DEMOCRATS'
VIRTUAL CONVENTION IS RESONATING
IN A KEY BATTLEGROUND.
>> I THINK WE'RE GOING TO START
SOMETHING AND WE HAVE PRESIDENT
JOE BIDEN.
>> Andrew: THE STATE THAT COULD
HELP DECIDE THE ELECTION.
>>> IT'S FRUSTRATING.
YOU KNOW, IT'S 2020.
>> Adrienne: THE PANDEMIC IS
DRIVING WOMEN FROM THE
WORKFORCE.
>> IF, YOU KNOW, MORE OF OUR
TIME IS SPENT DOING CHILD CARE,
THAT COULD BE MORE OF A
PERMANENT SHIFT.
>> Adrienne: WHAT A HISTORIC
SHE-CESSION COULD DO TO THE
ECONOMY.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."

>> Andrew: TODAY'S FEDERAL
CABINET SHUFFLE MAY HAVE BEEN
SMALL WHEN IT CAME TO THE NUMBER
OF POSITIONS, BUT IT WAS
HISTORIC IN SIGNIFICANCE.
>> Adrienne: TODAY CHRYSTIA
FREELAND ACCEPTED ANOTHER KEY
CABINET ROLE, BECOMING THE FIRST
WOMAN TO BE CANADA'S FINANCE
MINISTER.
>> TO ALL THE CANADIAN WOMEN
ACROSS OUR AMAZING COUNTRY WHO
ARE OUT THERE BREAKING GLASS
CEILINGS, KEEP GOING.
>> Andrew: FREELAND, WHO KEEPS
THE JOB OF DEPUTY PRIME
MINISTER, HAS BEEN PART OF
TRUDEAU'S INNER CIRCLE AS LONG
AS THE MAN SHE REPLACES.
FINANCE MINISTER BILL MORNEAU,
WHO ABRUPTLY RESIGNED YESTERDAY,
HIS CHOICE, HE SAYS, AND TAKING
OVER FREELAND'S OLD POST AT
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS,
DOMINIC LEBLANC, ANOTHER HIGHLY
TRUSTED FIGURE CLOSE TO THE
PRIME MINISTER.
>> Adrienne: AND AS SOON AS
TODAY'S MINI CABINET SHUFFLE WAS
DONE, SO WAS PARLIAMENT,
PROROGUED BY ORDER OF THE PRIME
MINISTER UNTIL NEXT MONTH, HE
SAYS TO FOCUS ON GOVERNMENT
BUSINESS, THE OPPOSITION SAYS TO
OUTRUN THE We CHARITY
CONTROVERSY.
DAVID COCHRANE BEGINS OUR
COVERAGE.
>> Reporter: AMIDST THE
CONTROVERSY, A MOMENT OF
HISTORY.
>> I, CHRYSTIA FREELAND, DO
SOLEMNLY AND --
>> Reporter: SHE BECOMES THE
FIRST WOMAN TO SERVE AS CANADA'S
FEDERAL FINANCE MINISTER AFTER
SERVING AS JUSTIN TRUDEAU'S
GO-TO MINISTER FROM PRACTICALLY
DAY ONE.
WHEN DONALD TRUMP WANTED TO TEAR
UP NAFTA, TRUDEAU TURNED TO
FREELAND.
WHEN THE LAST ELECTION REVEALED
DEEP FRACTURES WITH THE
PROVINCES, HE TURNED TO HER
AGAIN.
AND NOW THAT THE ECONOMY NEEDS A
PANDEMIC RECOVERY PLAN, HE TURNS
TO HER ONCE MORE.
>> Prime Minister Trudeau: IT
HAS BEEN A PRIVILEGE TO WORK
WITH BILL AND I WISH HIM ALL THE
BEST IN THE COMING YEARS.
>> Reporter: OF COURSE TRUDEAU
IS ALSO TURNING TO FREELAND TO
TURN THE PAGE.
HER PREDECESSOR BILL MORNEAU
QUIT ON MONDAY AFTER REPORTS OF
A DEEP RIFT WITH THE PRIME
MINISTER.
>> WHEN BILL MORNEAU TOLD YOU HE
WAS GOING TO RESIGN, DID YOU ASK
HIM TO STAY?
>> Prime Minister Trudeau:
THROUGH THIS PANDEMIC, WE HAVE
DONE MANY EXTRAORDINARY THINGS.
>> Reporter: TRUDEAU'S LONG
ANSWER DIDN'T INCLUDE "YES."
DETERMINED TO MOVE ON, HE ALSO
HIT THE RE-SET BUTTON FOR
PARLIAMENT.
>> Prime Minister Trudeau: I
HAVE ASKED THE GOVERNOR GENERAL
TO PROROGUE PARLIAMENT.
>> Reporter: UNTIL SEPTEMBER 23,
WHEN THERE WILL BE A NEW SPEECH
FROM THE THRONE.
>> Prime Minister Trudeau: WE DO
NOT WANT AN ELECTION, BUT IT IS
OBVIOUS THAT THE THRONE SPEECH
WE GAVE EIGHT MONTHS AGO IS NO
LONGER RELEVANT FOR THE REALITY
THAT CANADIANS ARE LIVING.
>> Reporter: SO THE PROMISE OF A
BLUEPRINT TO A POST-COVID
ECONOMY THAT TRIES TO SOLVE THE
PROBLEMS LAID BARE BY THIS
PANDEMIC.
>> A RE-START OF OUR ECONOMY
NEEDS TO BE GREEN.
IT ALSO NEEDS TO BE EQUITABLE.
IT NEEDS TO BE INCLUSIVE.
>> REGARDLESS, THOUGH, HOW YOU
PLAY MUSICAL CHAIRS, WE STILL
HAVE THE SAME CORRUPT AND
INCOMPETENT PRIME MINISTER.
>> Reporter: THE PRIME MINISTER
HAS CHANGED THE CABINET, BUT THE
OPPOSITION WON'T CHANGE THE
CONVERSATION.
>> THE DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER WAS
AT THE TABLE, AT THE CABINET
TABLE WHEN DECISIONS WERE MADE
AROUND We.
SHE WAS THERE.
>> Reporter: THAT NEW THRONE
SPEECH WILL ALMOST IMMEDIATELY
GO TO A CONFIDENCE VOTE TO
DETERMINE IF A GOVERNMENT THAT
JUST LOST A TOP MINISTER CAN
HOLD ON TO POWER OR BE FORCED TO
CALL AN ELECTION.
DAVID COCHRANE, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> Adrienne: OKAY, SO SMALL
SHUFFLE, POTENTIALLY BIG
IMPLICATIONS.
LET'S BRING IN OUR CHIEF
POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT,
ROSEMARY BARTON.
ROSIE, IS THIS THE GOVERNMENT
JUST TRYING TO TURN THE PAGE ON
THE We SCANDAL?
>> Rosemary: YEAH, IT'S
CERTAINLY AN ATTEMPT TO DO THAT.
THE FACT THAT THEY ARE CHOOSING
TO PROROGUE NOW FOR MORE THAN A
MONTH, RATHER THAN LETTING
COMMITTEES WHO WERE SET TO HEAR
FROM MORE WITNESSES AROUND THE
We CONTROVERSY AS EARLY AS NEXT
WEEK CONTINUE THEIR WORK, THAT
IS ALL SHUT DOWN NOW.
SO IT CERTAINLY ALLOWS THE
OPPOSITION PARTIES TO ASK
QUESTIONS AND TO, YOU KNOW,
RAISE THEIR EYEBROWS A LITTLE
BIT AROUND THE TIMING OF THIS.
HOWEVER, THE GOVERNMENT'S ALSO
RELEASING 5,000 PAGES OF
DOCUMENTS AND EMAILS ATTACHED TO
THIS CONTROVERSY, SO IT'S
DIFFICULT TO SAY THAT THE
GOVERNMENT IS, YOU KNOW, HIDING
SOMETHING HERE.
THE OPPOSITION PARTIES WILL
START LOOKING AT THOSE AND
PREPARE IF THEY SEE ANYTHING IN
THEM FOR WHEN PARLIAMENT
RETURNS.
>> Adrienne: SO IF THIS IS A
GOVERNMENT SORT OF RE-SETTING,
WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT RE-SET
HEADING IN?
>> Rosemary: WELL, IT SEEMS TO
BE FAIRLY BOLD.
THE PRIME MINISTER TALKED TODAY
ABOUT A BETTER CANADA, AND THAT
MEANS AN ECONOMIC RECOVERY THAT
COVERS EVERYTHING FROM FIGHTING
CLIMATE CHANGE TO MAKING SURE
THAT WOMEN AREN'T LEFT BEHIND TO
ADDRESSING SOME OF THE
INEQUITIES WE'VE SEEN IN SOCIETY
THROUGHOUT THIS PANDEMIC,
WHETHER IT BE LONG-TERM CARE
HOMES OR MARGINALIZED
COMMUNITIES.
THOSE ARE ALL IDEAS THAT THEY
TALKED ABOUT TODAY AND THAT WILL
BE CENTRAL TO THE THRONE SPEECH
IN SEPTEMBER.
BUT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO NOT
ONLY GET CANADIANS TO BUY INTO
THAT, BUT ALSO ANOTHER
OPPOSITION PARTY.
LIKELY WE WILL SEE SOME
NEGOTIATIONS AS WE GET CLOSER TO
THE THRONE SPEECH, PARTICULARLY
WITH THE N.D.P. TO GET SOME OF
THESE MORE PROGRESSIVE IDEAS ON
THE TABLE, AND WE'LL SEE WHETHER
THE N.D.P. WILL BUY INTO THEM,
BUT ALSO WHETHER THE COUNTRY
APPROVES OF THEM AS WELL.
>> Adrienne: ALL RIGHT, ROSIE, I
KNOW YOU HAVE MORE ON THIS WITH
"AT ISSUE" ON THURSDAY.
THANK YOU.
>> Rosemary: YOU BET.
>> Andrew: NOW WITH HER NEW
POSITION, CHRYSTIA FREELAND
STEPS INTO ONE OF THE MOST
COMPLICATED FINANCIAL SITUATIONS
IN CANADIAN HISTORY.
AARON SALTZMAN LOOKS AT THE
CHALLENGES AHEAD.
>> Reporter: FIRST, THE GOOD
NEWS.
THE NEW MINISTER TAKES OVER AN
ECONOMY THAT HAS SNAPPED BACK
FROM ITS LOWS FASTER THAN
FORECAST.
>> WHETHER YOU'RE LOOKING AT
RETAIL SALES, AUTO SALES, HOME
PURCHASES, JOB CREATION, THESE
HAVE ALL BEEN COMING IN
CONSISTENTLY STRONGER, SO SHE IS
STEPPING INTO THE JOB ON A
POSITIVE NOTE.
>> Reporter: BUT 1.2 MILLION
CANADIANS WERE STILL OUT OF WORK
LAST MONTH DUE TO COVID-19, AND
WHEN THE CANADIAN EMERGENCY
RESPONSE BENEFIT TRANSITIONS TO
E.I. FIVE WEEKS FROM NOW, MOST
WON'T QUALIFY.
THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR HAS
BEEN DELAYED IN SOME PROVINCES,
PROMPTING CALLS FOR A NATIONAL
CHILD CARE PROGRAM.
GROUNDED AIRLINES ARE STILL
BURNING THROUGH BILLIONS A DAY.
THE OIL AND GAS SECTOR IS AT A
STANDSTILL, AND GOVERNMENT DEBT
IS NEARING $1.2 TRILLION.
AMID ALL THAT, THE MINISTER HAS
TO FIND A WAY TO IMPROVE THE
ECONOMY OF THE FUTURE WHILE
STILL SPENDING HER WAY OUT OF
THE PRESENT.
>> WE HAVE TO SOLVE FOR THE
GREATEST ECONOMIC HIT THAT WE'VE
EXPERIENCED IN DECADES, BUT WE
ALSO, IN THE MEANTIME, HAVE TO
HELP TRANSITION OUR ECONOMY TO
THE NEW NORMAL.
>> Reporter: THAT'S WITHOUT
KNOWING WHEN WORK OR EVEN LIFE
WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL.
>> WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED WITH
THAT, THE INCLINATION IS TO PULL
BACK, NOT TO INVEST, NOT TO
EXPAND, AND AS A RESULT, YOU
DON'T SEE THE SORT OF GROWTH
THAT WE NEED TO SEE IN THE
ECONOMY.
>> Reporter: MEANWHILE, EXPORTS
ARE FACING A HIT FROM DISPUTES
WITH OUR TWO BIGGEST TRADING
PARTNERS.
A CHALLENGING TIME TO STEP IN,
TO SAY THE LEAST.
AARON SALTZMAN, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: OF COURSE DRIVING
THAT ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY, THE
UNCERTAINTY OVER THE PANDEMIC
AND HOW MUCH WORSE IT COULD GET.
TODAY PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND
REPORTED THREE CASES, THE ONLY
NEW INFECTIONS IN ATLANTIC
CANADA.
ONTARIO SAW 125 NEW CASES, THE
PROVINCE'S HIGHEST SINGLE-DAY
JUMP SINCE LATE JULY, AND OUT
WEST, THE UPWARD SPIKE CONTINUES
WITH 89 NEW CASES REPORTED IN
ALBERTA AND 83 IN BRITISH
COLUMBIA.
>> Andrew: B.C. HAS ONCE AGAIN
MOVED TO EXTEND ITS STATE OF
EMERGENCY, PROMISING ACTION TO
BRING NUMBERS BACK DOWN, BUT AS
BRIAR STEWART SHOWS US, THAT
SURGE IN CASES IS ALREADY HAVING
A BIG IMPACT.
>> Reporter: EVEN BEFORE THE
TESTING CENTRE OPENED, CARS
TRYING TO BE AMONG THE FIRST IN
LINE.
>> YEAH, YOU CAN'T STOP, SIR.
YOU HAVE TO KEEP MOVING.
>> Reporter: AND WHEN IT OPENED,
IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG.
PEOPLE WERE TOLD TO COME BACK
LATER.
>> COME BACK AT 1:30.
THANK YOU.
>> Reporter: OVER THE WEEKEND,
MORE THAN 10,000 PEOPLE WERE
TESTED IN B.C., AND THE PROVINCE
NOW HAS ITS HIGHEST COUNT EVER
FOR ACTIVE COVID-19 INFECTIONS.
>> I DON'T THINK WE EXPECTED
QUITE THIS RATE OF GROWTH AND AS
SUSTAINED.
>> Reporter: THIS EPIDEMIOLOGIST
SAYS EVEN THOUGH
HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE DOWN, THE
INCREASE IN CASES IS CONCERNING.
>> WE THINK IT'S -- ALLOW A
LARGE BURDEN OF CASES TO BUILD
UP IN THE POPULATION IN YOUNG
PEOPLE.
THEY WON'T STAY IN YOUNG PEOPLE
FOREVER.
EVENTUALLY SOMEBODY KNOWS
SOMEBODY.
>> Reporter: A FEW BARS HAVE
BEEN CLOSED AFTER BEING
CONNECTED TO COVID CASES, AND
PUBLIC HEALTH HAS STEPPED UP
INSPECTIONS OF BANQUET HALLS.
WHILE OFFICIALS SAY MOST
BUSINESSES ARE COMPLYING WITH
THE RULES, STRONGER ENFORCEMENT
IS ON THE WAY TO DEAL WITH THOSE
LETTING THEIR GUARD DOWN.
>> YOU KNOW, BEING IN THE AGE
GROUP THAT THE CASES ARE
GROWING, I FIRST-HAND KNOW,
LIKE, HOW PEOPLE ARE RESPONDING,
AND I REALLY THINK IT'S -- YOU
KNOW, THEY'RE NOT BEING SMART
ABOUT IT.
THEY'RE NOT BEING SAFE ABOUT IT.
>> Reporter: AND THE TIMING IS
PARTICULARLY WORRYING FOR
PARENTS GIVEN THAT SCHOOL IS
STARTING SOON.
>> I WOULD SAY UNSAFE FOR MY
FAMILY.
>> Reporter: EDMOND LUK LAUNCHED
A PETITION URGING THE GOVERNMENT
TO MAKE IN-PERSON CLASSES
VOLUNTARY AND ASKING FOR ONLINE
EDUCATION.
MORE THAN 35,000 HAVE SIGNED ON.
>> THE START OF THE SCHOOL IS
RIGHT AFTER A LONG WEEKEND, AND
MANY OF THE CASES NOW THAT YOU
SEE ARE ALSO A PRODUCT, A RESULT
OF LONG WEEKENDS IN AUGUST.
>> Reporter: SO THE QUESTION
REMAINS: HOW BUSY WILL THESE
TESTING LINEUPS BE COME
SEPTEMBER?
>> THANK YOU.
KEEP MOVING.
>> Reporter: BRIAR STEWART, CBC
NEWS, VANCOUVER.
>> Adrienne: THE CITY OF
EDMONTON NOW ACCOUNTS FOR MORE
THAN HALF OF ALBERTA'S ACTIVE
CASES.
THAT'S A SPIKE THAT HAS HEALTH
OFFICIALS CONCERNED, AND THEY
ARE POINTING TO LARGE GATHERINGS
AS A MAIN REASON FOR THE SPREAD.
CAROLYN DUNN HAS THE DETAILS.
>> Reporter: FOR THIS FAMILY,
THE CAREFREE DAYS OF SUMMER HAVE
BEEN PLAGUED BY UNCERTAINTY
ABOUT RETURNING TO SCHOOL.
IN THE END, MCKENZIE AND ASHAUN
WILL PUT ON THEIR MASKS AND HEAD
BACK.
>> IF WE JUST DON'T FEEL SAFE
WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS OF
SCHOOL STARTING, WE DEFINITELY
HAVE THAT OPTION TO SAY, HEY, I
THINK WE JUST MIGHT RE-THINK
THIS AND KEEP THE KIDS HOME.
>> Reporter: TEACHERS AND SCHOOL
STAFF ARE BEING ENCOURAGED TO BE
TESTED BEFORE CLASSES BEGIN.
HERE'S WHAT THEY WERE FACING
TODAY, A SNAKING LINEUP OF
PEOPLE WAITING TO BE TESTED FOR
COVID-19, PERHAPS THE MOST
VISIBLE SIGN THAT EDMONTON IS
SEEING A BIG SPIKE.
JUST NINE DAYS AFTER RETURNING
TO WORK IN HOTEL MAINTENANCE,
GARRY SANDHERR IS OFF YET AGAIN.
A CO-WORKER HAS TESTED POSITIVE.
HIS INCOME HAS BEEN HALVED, BUT
SANDHERR HAS A BIGGER CONCERN.
>> WELL, I COULD TAKE IT HOME TO
MY FAMILY, AND I DON'T WANT MY
FAMILY TO GET IT BECAUSE MY WIFE
IS DIABETIC, SO WE CAN'T TAKE
THE RISK.
>> Reporter: MOST OF EDMONTON'S
CASES HAVE COME FROM PARTIES AND
SOCIAL EVENTS, THE VAST MAJORITY
OF NEW CASES IN PEOPLE UNDER 40,
BUT THERE ARE NOW 15 CONFIRMED
EDMONTON CASES CONNECTED TO THIS
CHURCH, RAISING CONCERNS ABOUT
OTHER GATHERINGS.
ENOUGH CASES TO PUT THE CITY ON
AN OFFICIAL COVID WATCH.
>> THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL
PUBLIC HEALTH MEASURES REQUIRED
AT THIS TIME IN EDMONTON.
HOWEVER, WE ARE WATCHING IT
CLOSELY.
>> Reporter: THIS INFECTIOUS
DISEASES SPECIALIST SAYS THE
NUMBERS ARE A CLEAR WARNING
SIGN.
>> AS SOON AS YOU LET YOUR GUARD
DOWN, IT SEEMS TO COME ROARING
BACK VERY EFFECTIVELY, AND I
THINK WE'RE SEEING THE START OF
THAT HERE.
>> Reporter: THE QUESTION NOW IS
HOW TO CONVINCE THE REST OF THE
CITY TO TAKE THE MEASURES NEEDED
TO REDUCE THAT ROAR.
CAROLYN DUNN, CBC NEWS,
EDMONTON.
>> Andrew: NOW WHEN IT COMES TO
SCHOOLS AND COVID,
POST-SECONDARY STUDENTS ARE ALSO
COMING UP AGAINST NEW
CHALLENGES, ESPECIALLY AS THEY
ENTER FIRST YEAR.
DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON SHOWS US
WHY.
>> Reporter: FOUR DAYS FROM NOW,
THIS HIGH SCHOOL GRAD WILL LEAVE
HER PARENTS' HOME FOR MONTREAL
TO START HER FIRST YEAR AT
MCGILL UNIVERSITY, ALL OF HER
COURSES WILL BE TAUGHT ONLINE,
BUT SHE HAS STILL CHOSEN TO LIVE
ON CAMPUS.
>> I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT I'M
JUST REALLY BAD AT WORKING IN MY
OWN HOME, SO TO BE ON CAMPUS
WOULD REALLY BE THE BEST THING
FOR ME TO, LIKE, ACTUALLY FOCUS
ON MY CLASSES.
>> Reporter: BUT WHILE SHE'S
EXCITED, THERE ARE MANY
UNKNOWNS.
THE RESIDENCE SHE WAS INITIALLY
ASSIGNED TO WAS SHUT DOWN
BECAUSE OF ITS COMMUNAL
BATHROOM.
>> SO I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW
WHERE I WILL BE LIVING RIGHT
NOW.
I WILL PROBABLY BE LIVING IN A
DIFFERENT HOTEL RESIDENCES
STYLE.
ALL SINGLE ROOMS AND THEY ALL
HAVE THEIR OWN BATHROOMS.
>> Reporter: UNCERTAINTY,
ANXIETY, LAST-MINUTE CHANGES,
ALL NOW PART OF THE PACKAGE FOR
STUDENTS WHO CHOOSE TO STUDY ON
CAMPUS.
HERE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
TORONTO, STUDENTS ARE ONLY NOW
FINDING OUT SOME OF THEIR
COURSES ARE GOING ONLINE.
THE SCHOOL IS REDUCING THE
NUMBER OF IN-PERSON COURSES,
SAYING STUDENTS WILL BE INFORMED
SOMETIME BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR
STARTS THAT'S JUST THREE WEEKS
AWAY.
ON THE EAST COAST, FOUR
PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS
ESTABLISHED THE ATLANTIC BUBBLE.
>> THIS IS WHERE WE COOK OUR
THREE MEALS A DAY.
>> Reporter: STUDENTS FROM
OUTSIDE THOSE PROVINCES HAVE TO
QUARANTINE FOR 14 DAYS, LIKE
THIS MONTREALER STUDYING IN NOVA
SCOTIA.
>> NOT REALLY ALLOWED TO GO
OUTSIDE EXCEPT MAYBE FOR A
LITTLE BIT OF FRESH AIR.
MY APARTMENT IS ON THE THIRD
FLOOR OF THE HOUSE, SO I DON'T
HAVE ACCESS TO A BALCONY OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> Reporter: BUT EVEN WITH ALL
THOSE PROTOCOLS IN PLACE,
EXPERTS WORRY THAT MUCH STILL
DEPENDS ON INDIVIDUAL STUDENT
BEHAVIOUR.
>> THEY'RE EXPECTING TO HAVE THE
SOCIAL COMPONENT OF LIFE IN
RESIDENCE, LIFE AWAY FROM HOME,
AND THAT'S GOING TO BE HARD TO
NAVIGATE DURING COVID.
HANNA MITSUI HOTZ SAYS HER
PARENTS TRUST HER TO BE
POTENTIAL.
ONE HARD PART -- RESPONSIBLE.
ONE HARD PART WILL BE SAYING
GOOD-BYE IN THE 15 MINUTES
FAMILIES ARE ALLOTTED TO MOVE
THE STUDENT IN AND LEAVE THE
CAMPUS.
DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
PK
>> Andrew: NOW A CLEAR SENSE OF
JUST WHAT'S AT STAKE FOR
STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS.
IN THE U.S., THE UNIVERSITY OF
NOTRE DAME IS NOW SHIFTING TO
ONLINE CLASSES AS COLLEGES
SCRAMBLE TO DEAL WITH VIRUS
OUTBREAKS.
>> IF THESE STEPS ARE NOT
SUCCESSFUL, WE WILL HAVE TO SEND
STUDENTS HOME AS WE DID LAST
SPRING.
>> Andrew: AN OFF-CAMPUS PARTY
IS SAID TO HAVE LED TO A BALLOON
IN CASES AT THE SCHOOL, WHICH IS
NOW REPORTING NEARLY 150 TOTAL
POSITIVE.
THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA
HAS ALSO CANCELLED IN-PERSON
LECTURES AFTER 130 STUDENTS
TESTED POSITIVE IN THE FIRST
WEEK OF CLASSES ALONE.
>> Adrienne: AND THIS IS NIGHT
TWO OF THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
CONVENTION, FORCED ONLINE AND ON
TV ONLY BECAUSE OF COVID-19
CONCERNS.
BUT OUR SUSAN ORMISTON IS ON THE
GROUND IN WISCONSIN, WHICH
TURNED REPUBLICAN FOUR YEARS AGO
AFTER THREE DECADES OF
SUPPORTING DEMOCRATS.
[COWS MOOING]
>> Reporter: COWS DON'T CARE,
BUT PADDOCKS ARE POLITICAL TURF
IN WISCONSIN.
KRISTEN JURCEK IS PASSIONATE
ABOUT CLIMATE AND SUSTAINABLE
AGRICULTURE.
SHE SMELLS A CHANGE, WELL,
HOPES.
>> PEOPLE OUT HERE ARE SUPER
FRUSTRATED WITH THE AGRICULTURAL
ECONOMY ITSELF AND WITH THE
TRADE WAR.
I DEFINITELY KNOW PEOPLE THAT
HAVE FELT THEY MADE A BAD
CHOICE.
>> Reporter: OUTSIDE THE CITIES,
WISCONSIN IS MORE CONSERVATIVE.
JURCEK'S NEIGHBOURING FARMERS
WENT WITH DONALD TRUMP LAST
TIME.
TO WIN, JOE BIDEN WILL NEED TO
SHOW UP EVENTUALLY.
HILLARY CLINTON DIDN'T.
>> SHE JUST TOOK IT FOR GRANTED
THAT, YOU KNOW, WISCONSIN WAS A
GIVEN.
>> Reporter: DO YOU THINK IT'S
GOING TO BE CLOSE?
>> I DO.
IN THIS COMMUNITY, SO MANY
PEOPLE ARE JUST STAUNCH
REPUBLICANS, BUT IF GRANDPA
VOTED THAT WAY EVERYBODY ELSE IS
GOING TO KEEP VOTING THAT WAY,
MAYBE WITHOUT THINKING A LOT
ABOUT IT.
>> Reporter: TRUMP AND PENCE ARE
HERE TWICE THIS WEEK WHEN THE
STATE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OVERRUN
WITH DEMOCRATS FOR THEIR
CONVENTION.
THERE'S NO MISTAKING LOYALTIES
AT R BACK ACRES WITH A FLAG F
YOUR FEELINGS.
>> THE STATE IS IN CHAOS.
I AM ACTUALLY -- I AM A TRUMP
FAN.
I KNOW PEOPLE DON'T REALLY WANT
TO HEAR THAT.
HE PRETTY MUCH SAYS THIS IS HOW
I FEEL, THIS IS WHAT I THINK.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, HE DOESN'T
CARE.
BUT I ALSO THINK HE IS MORE FOR
THE PEOPLE THAN WHAT PEOPLE GIVE
HIM CREDIT FOR.
>> Reporter: BUT IN THE CITY,
PLACES LIKE NORTH END MILWAUKEE,
STRUGGLING BEFORE, ARE WORSE
WITH THE PANDEMIC.
VOTING HERE IN 2016 FELL 20%,
HELPING TRUMP.
DAN SAYS HE WILL VOTE THIS TIME.
>> TRUMP IS A BULLY.
HE'S IGNORANT.
HE DON'T KNOW NOTHING.
I DON'T KNOW HOW HE BE
PRESIDENT.
IF TRUMP CAN BE THE PRESIDENT,
THEN YOU MIGHT AS WELL VOTE
KANYE FOR PRESIDENT.
>> SO MANY COMMUNITIES HAVE BEEN
LEFT IN THE LURCH.
>> Reporter: NOW WITH THE
VIRTUAL CONVENTION, WITH
NEIGHBOURS WATCHING IN THEIR
BACKYARDS INSTEAD OF THE
CONVENTION FLOOR, THAT WILL TEST
DEMOCRATS' INGENUITY TO ENERGIZE
THE VOTE, TO BRING WISCONSIN
BACK IN THE FOLD.
>> I THINK PEOPLE HAVE NOW
LEARNED THEIR LESSON, AND THEY
ARE GOING TO VOTE IN DROVES THIS
FALL.
WISCONSIN IS IMPORTANT.
I THINK WE WIN WISCONSIN AND WE
HAVE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN.
>> Reporter: THEY SAY THEY'RE
READY.
>> Adrienne: SUSAN, THE PICTURES
ARE AMAZING.
THIS DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
COULDN'T BE MORE PHYSICALLY
DISTANCED.
WHAT'S YOUR TAKEAWAY FROM WHERE
YOU'RE STANDING?
>> Reporter: WELL, THE
VIRTUAL CONVENTION REPUBLICANS
ARE SURELY TAKING NOTES ABOUT
WHAT NOT TO DO FOR THEIR
CONVENTION.
REPUBLICANS ARE CERTAINLY TAKING
NOTES FOR WHAT NOT TO DO ABOUT
THEIR CONVENTION.
LESS OF ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE
A WEBINAR AND, YOU KNOW, RATINGS
ARE DOWN 28%.
TV RATINGS OVER FOUR YEARS AGO,
BUT, ADRIENNE, CONVENTION
RATINGS DON'T WIN ELECTIONS.
CAMPAIGNING DOES, AND BY STAYING
AWAY, BIDEN IS AVOIDING THE
COVID RISK, BUT WITH TRUMP
CRISSCROSSING THE COUNTRY, IN
PERSON, AS WELL AS IN WISCONSIN,
BIDEN TAKES A POLITICAL RISK
TOO.
>> Adrienne: ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU, SUSAN.
SUSAN ORMISTON IN MILWAUKEE

EXPLOSION IN BEIRUT TWO WEEKS
AGO ENDED UP DELAYING A
LONG-AWAITED VERDICT FOR
LEBANON.
ONLY ONE OF FOUR HEZBOLLAH
MILITANTS ACCUSED IN THE
ASSASSINATION OF FORMER PRIME
MINISTER RAFIK HARIRI HAS BEEN
CONVICTED.
MARGARET EVANS EXPLAINS.
>> Reporter: 15 YEARS AFTER HIS
ASSASSINATION, RAFIK HARIRI'S
PRESENCE IS STILL SEARED ACROSS
THE POLITICS OF LEBANON, NOWHERE
MORE EVIDENT THAN IN THE CENTRE
OF A BEIRUT HE HELPED REBUILD
AFTER THE COUNTRY'S LONG CIVIL
WAR.
THE FORMER SUNNI PRIME MINISTER
WAS KILLED IN 2005, ALONG WITH
21 OTHER PEOPLE WHEN HIS CONVOY
WAS TARGETED NEAR THE CITY'S COR
NICHE

WAS DETONATED.

UN-BACKED TRIBUNAL CONVICTED IN
ABSENTIA SALIM AYYASH, A MEMBER
OF THE SHI'A MILITANT GROUP
HEZBOLLAH OF CONSPIRACY TO KILL
HARIRI.
CHARGES AGAINST THREE OTHERS
WERE DISMISSED.
FOR HARIRI'S SON SAAD, HIMSELF A
FORMER PRIME MINISTER, IT WAS
JUSTICE SERVED COLD AND
INCOMPLETE.
>> I THINK TODAY'S -- I MEAN,
EVERYBODY'S EXPECTATION WAS MUCH
HIGHER THAN WHAT CAME OUT.
>> Reporter: HARIRI'S MURDER LED
TO THE CEDAR REVOLUTION, PUSHING
SYRIAN TROOPS OUT OF LEBANON.
BEFORE HIS DEATH, HE WAS
ADVOCATING FOR AN END TO SYRIAN
INFLUENCE, DAMASCUS, ONE OF
HEZBOLLAH'S MAIN BACKERS.
THE TRIBUNAL SAID THEY MAY HAVE
HAD MOTIVE TO ELIMINATE HARIRI,
BUT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF
INVOLVEMENT.
THIS POLITICAL ANALYST SAYS THAT
WON'T END SPECULATION.
>> THE DECISION WAS MADE TO
ASSASSINATE PRIME MINISTER
HARIRI.
THEY WEREN'T ACTING ON THEIR
OWN.
I MEAN, EVERYONE IN LEBANON AT
LEAST WILL KNOW THIS.
>> Reporter: HEZBOLLAH REFUSES
TO RECOGNIZE THE TRIBUNAL.
LEBANON'S COMPLEX POLITICAL
SYSTEM WHERE VARIOUS SECTS SHARE
POWER AND PATRONAGE IS ALREADY
UNDER CONSIDERABLE STRAIN
AGAINST A BACKDROP OF ECONOMIC
COLLAPSE, THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC,

ARGUES THE MONEY COULD BE BETTER
SPENT.
>> THIS MIGHT BE OUR CHANCE TO
USE FUNDS IN OTHER
COMMUNITY-ORIENTED PROGRAMS THAT
FOCUS ON CRIME PREVENTION AS
OPPOSED TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.
>> Reporter: ADDING THE
MINNEAPOLIS OFFICERS WHO KILLED
GEORGE FLOYD WERE ALL WEARING
BODY CAMERAS.
CHRISTINE BIRAK, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Andrew: WELL, WHEN WE COME
BACK, ONE OF THE MOST PRESSING
ISSUES FOR CANADA'S FIRST FEMALE
FINANCE MINISTER, GETTING WOMEN
BACK INTO THE WORKFORCE.
>> THE CORONAVIRUS IS HITTING
WOMEN PARTICULARLY HARD.
IT'S HITTING MOTHERS
PARTICULARLY HARD.
>> Adrienne: NEXT, AS FAMILIES
GRAPPLE WITH UNCERTAIN PLANS FOR
SCHOOL AND CHILD CARE, WE HEAR
FROM WOMEN SHOULDERING THE BULK
OF THE BURDEN.
>> I KNOW SO MANY WHO ARE --
HAVE MADE SUCH GREAT STRIDES IN
THEIR CAREERS, AND ALL OF A
SUDDEN IT'S COMING TO A STOP.
>> Adrienne: WE'RE BACK RIGHT
AFTER THIS.
>> THE ECONOMIC CHALLENGE
CREATED BY THE CORONAVIRUS IS
HITTING WOMEN PARTICULARLY HARD.
IT'S HITTING MOTHERS
PARTICULARLY HARD.
>> Adrienne: SO, THERE'S
CANADA'S NEW FINANCE MINISTER ON
THE HIGH COST WOMEN ARE PAYING
DURING THE PANDEMIC SLUMP.
A NEW REPORT SHOWS 1.5 MILLION
CANADIAN WOMEN LOST THEIR JOBS
IN THE FIRST TWO MONTHS, MANY IN
HARD-HIT SERVICE INDUSTRIES.
BY APRIL, THE PERCENTAGE OF
WOMEN IN THE WORKFORCE WAS THE
LOWEST IN 34 YEARS.
AN ECONOMIC SITUATION MANY NOW
CALL THE SHE-CESSION.
THERE ARE FEARS THE PANDEMIC
WILL ERASE DECADES OF PROGRESS
FOR WORKING MOTHERS AS THEY STAY
HOME TO HANDLE CHILD CARE.
MANY FELT THEY HAD NO CHOICE,
EVEN WHILE TRYING TO JUGGLE
THEIR OWN BUSY CAREER.
IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS LOOKS AT HOW
SOME WOMEN ARE HOLDING UP.
>> OVER HERE.
>> Reporter: HER DAY STARTED
HOURS AGO, AND CHARLOTTE
SCHWARTZ IS ALREADY BEHIND.
>> WORK-WISE, I HAVE DONE TWO
EMAILS AND READ ONE DRAFT OF
SOMETHING.
>> Reporter: GETTING TWO OF HER
KIDS TO CAMP WILL MEAN SOME
REPRIEVE.
>> JUST DON'T LOCK ME OUT OF IT.
>> Reporter: BUT WITH A TODDLER
IN TOW, IT CAN BE A CHALLENGE
JUST GETTING THERE.
>> LIKE, LITERALLY NOTHING IS
DONE YET.
YEAH, NOTHING HAS BEEN
ACCOMPLISHED, BUT . . .
>> Reporter: BUT YOU GOT OUT THE
FRONT DOOR.
>> YEAH.
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN MUCH RIGHT
NOW.
[LAUGHTER]
UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, IT'S
A GOOD THING, BUT IT DOESN'T
MEAN A WHOLE LOT IN PANDEMIC
MODE.
>> Reporter: PANDEMIC MODE.
FOR WORKING MOTHERS, IT MEANS A
CONSTANT STATE OF DISTRACTION.
>> BYE-BYE.
BYE-BYE.
>> Reporter: ACROSS THE STREET,
RINA PEREK, SHE'S ALSO ABOUT TO
START THE DAILY JUGGLE AGAIN.
>> I'M EXHAUSTED, AND IT'S NOT
EVEN THAT PHYSICAL EXHAUSTION.
IT'S MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL
EXHAUSTION.
I CALL THIS A PANDEMIC RAGE
EXERCISE.
>> Reporter: LIKE SO MANY WOMEN,
RINA IS TAKING UP THE BALL AT
HOME NOW MORE THAN EVER.
>> OKAY?
>> Reporter: SHE'S A FITNESS
TRAINER, TRYING TO HOLD ON TO A
NEW BUSINESS THAT WAS JUST
GETTING OFF THE GROUND, WHILE
SHE TAKES CARE OF THE KIDS.
>> JUMP, JUMP, JUMP.
>> THE RACE IS ABOUT HOW WE JUST
FALL BACK INTO THIS PATTERN.
IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING WHEN WOMEN
LIKE MYSELF, AND I KNOW SO MANY
WHO ARE -- HAVE MADE SUCH GREAT
STRIDES IN THEIR CAREERS, AND
ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S COMING TO A
STOP.
>> Reporter: IT'S A PANDEMIC
REALITY.
>> YOU WANT TO SIT WITH ME?
OKAY.
>> Reporter: THE CHALLENGE FOR
WORKING MOMS THESE DAYS IS
TRYING TO GET THE PAYING JOB
DONE.
>> MY GOODNESS.
>> Reporter: IN-BETWEEN
EVERYTHING ELSE.
>> HAVE A SEAT.
THERE YOU GO.
IS THAT GOOD?
>> IN RECENT MEMORY I DON'T
THINK I'VE BEEN THROUGH A TASK
AND SAT DOWN AND COMPLETED IT
BEGINNING TO END WITHOUT GETTING
UP A FEW TIMES TO GET SOMEONE A
SMACK OR GET SOMEONE A CUP OF
WATER OR WHATEVER.
>> OH, I'M MOVING AGAIN.
>> YOU KNOW, THAT IS PARENTING
TYPICALLY, BUT I'VE ALWAYS HAD
THE BREAK OF GOING TO WORK, AND
NOW I DON'T HAVE THAT.
>> WHAT ABOUT THIS THING?
>> IT'S NOT MAKING ANY NOISE AT
ALL.
>> Reporter: CHARLOTTE AND HER
HUSBAND BOTH WORK FROM HOME.
SHE IS A SENIOR LAW CLERK, AND
THE INTERRUPTIONS FROM THE MOST
JUNIOR MEMBER OF THE HOME ARE
CONSTANT.
>> DO YOU THINK I CAN DO ONE
THING?
>> WANT IT.
>> WANT WHAT?
>> Reporter: THERE'S NO WINNING
THIS GAME OF CHICKEN.
[LAUGHTER]
>> THERE THEY ARE.
>> Reporter: SO CHARLOTTE GETS
UP AT THE CRACK OF DAWN,
SQUEEZES IN WORK AROUND HER
DAUGHTER'S NAPS, AND THEN SHE'LL
OFTEN WORK LATE WHEN ALL THE
KIDS GO TO BED.
SHE'S NOT SURE HOW IT HAPPENED,
BUT SHE'S THE ONE DOING MORE.
>> IT'S DISAPPOINTING BECAUSE
IT'S SO TYPICAL, I GUESS, IS THE
EASIEST ANSWER.
BUT YOU CAN TELL THAT ANXIETY IS
HIGH BECAUSE YOU'RE STILL TRYING
TO HAVE THIS CAREER THAT YOU'VE
NOT -- IN MY CASE, I'VE BEEN
BUILDING IT FOR 18 YEARS, BUT
THEN ALL THESE, YOU KNOW,
ADDITIONAL TASKS SUDDENLY FALL
TO YOU IN THE ABSENCE OF CHILD
CARE AND SCHOOL AND OTHER
THINGS.
>> Reporter: MOST OF RINA'S WORK
WAS IN A GYM, BUT BETWEEN THE
LOCKDOWN AND LACK OF CHILD CARE,
SHE LOST MOST OF HER INCOME.
>> OH!
[LAUGHTER]
ARE YOU OKAY?
>> [INDISCERNIBLE].
>> Reporter: ON THE OTHER HAND,
HER HUSBAND'S SAMOSA TAKEOUT
BUSINESS IS DOING WELL, AND FOR
HIM TO KEEP WORKING, ONE OF THEM
HAS TO BE HOME.
AND LIKE MANY WOMEN, SHE'S IT.
>> GO!
>> IT'S FRUSTRATING.
YOU KNOW, IT'S 2020.
WE FEEL LIKE WE FINALLY STARTED
MAKING PROGRESS, AND WE FIND
OURSELVES IN THE PANDEMIC, YOU
KNOW, THIS IS A RESULT OF THE
SYSTEMS THAT ARE IN PLACE.
TRADITIONALLY MEN MAKE MORE THAN
WOMEN, AND SO WHEN WE LOOK AT A
HOUSEHOLD WITH TWO INCOMES AND
THE MAN IS MAKING MORE, THE
OTHER PERSON IS ALMOST JUST
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE FOR THAT
PERSON NOT TO STEP BACK.
>> SO JUST SET UP YOUR PHONE SO
I CAN SEE YOUR FEET.
>> Reporter: RINA SCALED BACK,
AND SHE'S STILL DOING VIRTUAL
COACHING.
>> YOUR FEET LOOK LIKE --
>> WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS
SPOT TOGETHER FOR A LONG TIME.
>> Reporter: THERE'S ALWAYS A
LITTLE ONE NEARBY.
>> HI.
>> Reporter: SO SHE TRIES TO
WORK AROUND THEIR SCHEDULES,
EVEN THOUGH THAT MEANS HER
WORKDAY OFTEN STRETCHES WELL
INTO THE NIGHT.
>> AND THEN LET'S TRY THE OTHER
LEG.
>> THAT'S WHY I TAKE CALLS IN
THE EVENING, OR DURING THE --
LIKE, DURING THAT NAP-TIME.
IT'S SO I DON'T GET INTERRUPTED.
>> I'M SORRY.
ARE YOU OKAY?
>> WE'RE DOING THIS INTERVIEW
PROBABLY HALF AN HOUR AND I'VE
ALREADY BEEN INTERRUPTED, RIGHT?
SO IT'S REALLY HARD TO KEEP THAT
SENSE OF PROFESSIONALISM.
>> Reporter: AND THERE'S ALREADY
A COST.
IT'S BEEN COINED THE SHE-CESSION
BECAUSE THE PANDEMIC HAS HIT
SECTORS DOMINATED BY WOMEN, SUCH
AS SERVICE AND HOSPITALITY,
HARDEST.
THOSE SECTORS ARE ALSO SLOWER TO
BOUNCE BACK, BUT THE EMPLOYMENT
NUMBERS ALREADY SHOW FEWER WOMEN
ARE GOING BACK.
>> WE'RE GOING TO BE THE ONE
PUTTING UP OUR HAND AND SAY THIS
SITUATION IS UNWORKABLE.
WE CAN'T BOTH BE IN THE HOME
WORKING OR I CAN'T GO OUT AND DO
MY JOB.
SOMEONE HAS TO TAKE CARE OF THE
KIDS, AND SO ALL TOO OFTEN THE
WOMAN IS THE ONE WHO PUTS UP HER
HAND AND SAYS, OKAY, I WON'T GO
BACK.
>> Reporter: JENNIFER REYNOLDS
IS THE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF
TORONTO FINANCE INTERNATIONAL,
WHICH WORKS TO ATTRACT FINANCIAL
INVESTMENT TO TORONTO.
SHE'S ALSO LED INITIATIVES TO
KEEP WOMEN IN THE WORKFORCE.
>> I WORRY IF WE SHIFT INTO
THESE TRADITIONAL ROLES IF, YOU
KNOW, MORE OF OUR TIME IS SPENT
DOING CHILD CARE RELATIVE TO
WORK, AS WE WERE IN THE PAST,
THAT THAT COULD BE MORE OF A
PERMANENT SHIFT.
>> Reporter: JENNIFER SAYS THE
RESEARCH IS CLEAR.
WHEN WOMEN STEP OUT OF THE JOB
MARKET, IT'S OFTEN TOUGH TO STEP
BACK IN.
>> IF YOU TAKE A FEW YEARS OUT,
THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, IT'S
HARD.
IT'S HARD TO GO BACK.
IT'S VERY HARD TO CATCH UP, SO
TO SPEAK, IN YOUR CAREER, CATCH
UP INCOME-WISE, WAGE-WISE WITH
WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN IF YOU
HAD CONTINUED WORKING.
SO THIS COULD HAVE VERY, VERY
LONG-TERM IMPACTS ON WOMEN.
>> Reporter: AS FRIENDS AND
NEIGHBOURS, CHARLOTTE AND RINA
CAN COMMISERATE, THAT IS WHEN
THEY FIND THE TIME.
>> WHAT TIME ARE YOU LEAVING
FOR --
>> Reporter: THEY BOTH THOUGHT
ABOUT TAKING A BREAK FROM WORK,
BUT IT WOULD MEAN LOSING
EVERYTHING THEY'VE WORKED FOR.
>> NO WORK GOT DONE TODAY.
>> I MEAN, MY KIDS ARE YOUNG,
BUT THEY ARE STILL WATCHING, AND
I KNOW ONE DAY WE'RE GOING TO
LOOK BACK ON THIS AND TALK ABOUT
THE TIME WHEN WE WERE IN
ISOLATION, BUT MOMMY KEPT GOING.
MOMMY KEPT WORKING, AND THAT
SELF-FULFILLMENT PIECE TOO
BECOMES VERY IMPORTANT WITHOUT
COMPLETELY LOSING OURSELVES IN
MOTHERHOOD.
>> THERE'S A --
>> Reporter: AND WITH AN
UNCERTAIN RETURN TO SCHOOL AND
DAYCARE, THERE'S NO REAL END IN
SIGHT.
>> HAVING A CAREER OUTSIDE OF
THE HOME HAS BEEN A THING THAT
I'VE ALWAYS HAD, AND TO SEE HOW
QUICKLY THAT CAN BECOME NOT
SIGNIFICANT IN ORDER TO CARE FOR
THE KIDS INSTEAD IS REALLY
INTERESTING.
AND I'M SURE IT'S GONNA BE THE
SUBJECT OF MANY A UNIVERSITY
LEVEL COURSE ONE DAY IS WHAT
HAPPENED TO THE WOMEN DURING
THAT PANDEMIC IN 2020, YOU KNOW?
DID THEY ALL -- YOU KNOW, DID
THEY ALL DROP THEIR CAREERS
ENTIRELY?
DID THEY SHIFT CAREERS TO
SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
THAT WAS BORN OF THIS SITUATION?
WHAT DID THEY DO?
>> Reporter: AS FOR THEM.
FOR NOW, ANYWAY, THEY'LL KEEP
DOING IT ALL.
>> GOOD JOB.
>> Reporter: IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS,
CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Andrew: OKAY, STILL AHEAD ON
"THE NATIONAL," THE CANADIAN
CITY KEEPING A HISTORIC
BALLPARK'S WORLD RECORD GOING.
>> I THINK THIS IS GONNA BE ONE
OF THE BEST GAMES I EVER PLAYED
IN MY LIFE.
>> Andrew: DESPITE A CANCELLED
SEASON, A GAME TO KEEP A
GUINNESS RECORD ALIVE.
COMING UP.
>> DEBT IS PILING UP.
SOCIAL DIVISIONS ARE WIDENING,
BUT THERE IS HOPE.
>> Andrew: THAT IS LESLYN LEWIS,
MAKING HER PITCH TO BE THE NEXT
LEADER OF THE FEDERAL
CONSERVATIVE PARTY.
WE'VE BEEN BRINGING YOU PROFILES
OF ALL FOUR CANDIDATES AS THAT
RACE COMES TO A CLOSE.
TODAY JUSTIN TRUDEAU PROROGUED
PARLIAMENT UNTIL SEPTEMBER 23,
AND THE NEW CONSERVATIVE LEADER
WILL BE IN PLACE LONG BEFORE
THAT, WITH FINAL VOTE COUNTS
EXPECTED ON SUNDAY.
TONIGHT, VASSY KAPELOS, HOST OF
"POWER & POLITICS," TAKES A
CLOSER LOOK AT CANDIDATE LESLYN
LEWIS.
*
>> Vassy: LESLYN LEWIS IS CLEAR
ON WHAT SHE THINKS LEADERS
SHOULD AND SHOULDN'T DO.
>> WHEN WE ELECT OFFICIALS TO
REPRESENT US, THEY DO NOT HAVE
UNFETTERED POWER TO INSTRUCT
CITY OFFICIALS, CITY EMPLOYEES
ON HOW TO CONDUCT THEIR JOBS.
>> Vassy: THAT'S LEWIS LAST
FALL.
SHE WAS THE LAWYER REPRESENTING
A MUSIC FESTIVAL THAT CLAIMED IT
WAS UNFAIRLY SHUT DOWN BY THE
CITY OF VAUGHN.
>> AS A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL, WE
ARE ELECTED TO SERVE YOU.
>> Vassy: NOW LEWIS IS IN THE
RUNNING TO BECOME AN ELECTED
OFFICIAL, AND ONE OF THE HIGHEST
RANKING IN THE COUNTRY AT THAT,
AS SHE RUNS FOR THE LEADERSHIP
OF THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY.
>> MY PARENTS LEFT EVERYTHING
BEHIND TO COME TO THIS GREAT
COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED
THAT IT WAS THE BEST COUNTRY IN
THE WORLD TO RAISE THEIR
CHILDREN.
>> Vassy: LEWIS AND HER FAMILY
CAME TO CANADA FROM JAMAICA WHEN
SHE WAS JUST FIVE.
SHE HAS MULTIPLE DEGREES AND
PRACTICED LAW FOR NEARLY 20
YEARS.
>> I WOULD SUPPORT MAKING SURE
THAT CANADIANS ARE SAFE.
>> Vassy: LEWIS IS A SOCIAL
CONSERVATIVE AND SAYS ATTEMPTS
IN THE PAST TO SHIELD THOSE
ELEMENTS OF THE CONSERVATIVE
PARTY HAVE BACKFIRED.
>> YOU HAVE TO COME OUT AND SAY
EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE FOR.
WE HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF THAT IN
THE PAST AS CONSERVATIVES,
HAVING A HIDDEN AGENDA.
I THINK THAT THE MORE PRAGMATIC
APPROACH IS TO TELL PEOPLE
EXACTLY WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO.
>> Vassy: LEWIS IS NOT A MEMBER
OF PARLIAMENT.
SHE DID RUN IN THE 2015 FEDERAL
ELECTION AS A LATE REPLACEMENT
CANDIDATE FOR THE CONSERVATIVE
PARTY AND CAME IN SECOND BEHIND
THE LIBERALS.
>> I BELIEVE THAT WHEN
CONSERVATIVES UNITE, SOCIAL
CONSERVATIVES, PROGRESSIVE
CONSERVATIVES, LIBERTARIAN AND
FISCAL CONSERVATIVES, WE CAN
START THE WORK OF HEALING THIS
GREAT NATION.
>> Vassy: IF SHE WINS, LEWIS
WOULD BE THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN
TO LEAD A NATIONAL CANADIAN
POLITICAL PARTY.
VASSY KAPELOS, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA.
>> Andrew: OKAY, NEXT WE'RE
GOING TO HEAR FROM AN ONTARIO
WOMAN YOU MAY REMEMBER FROM LAST
YEAR ON "THE NATIONAL," BEFORE
THE LAST ELECTION.
MAGGIE CYWINK TOOK PART IN OUR
FACE-TO-FACE SEGMENT THAT LET
VOTERS PUT QUESTIONS DIRECTLY TO
PARTY LEADERS.
WE'VE ASKED HER WHAT SHE WOULD
LIKE TO SEE FROM A NEW
CONSERVATIVE LEADER.
BUT FIRST, A REMINDER.
>> MY NAME IS MAGGIE CYWINK.
I AM FROM WHITE FISH RIVER FIRST
NATION, WHICH IS IN ONTARIO.
I AM AN ADVOCATE FOR THE MISSING
AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN
AND GIRLS.
I HAVE 43 NIECES AND NEPHEWS,
AND MANY OF THEM WHO ARE VOTING
AGE ACTUALLY VOTED IN THE LAST
ELECTION, WHICH I'M VERY PROUD
OF.
*
I THINK MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR ME
AS AN INDIGENOUS WOMAN, WHEN I
THINK ABOUT FISCAL
RESPONSIBILITY IS I LOOK AT MY
OWN SPENDING.
MY QUESTIONS FOCUSED ON FISCAL
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO THE CANADIAN
TAXPAYER.
HOW THE PANDEMIC HAS AFFECTED MY
LIFE IS LOOKING AT HOW THE
GOVERNMENT IS TREATING
VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES,
INCLUDING THE HOMELESS.
ARE THEY PROVIDING ENOUGH CARE?
THE POTENTIAL GOVERNMENT THAT'S
COMING IN --
>> A QUESTION THAT I WOULD HAVE
FOR THE NEW LEADER OF THE
CONSERVATIVE PARTY WOULD BE IF
CANADA WAS LOOKING AT THE NEW
NORMAL, HOW WOULD YOU FORM A
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PEOPLE WHO
WERE ACTUALLY NEEDING THE CHANGE
ON THE GROUND LEVEL?
THE LEADER OF THE CONSERVATIVE
PARTY WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE TO
FIND A WAY TO REACH OUT TO
MINORITIES, TO REACH WOMEN, TO
REACH THE YOUNG VOTERS IN
CANADA, TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE
A SAFE PLAN FOR CANADIANS MOVING
FORWARD SHOULD ANOTHER PANDEMIC
HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE COMING
YEARS.
>> Adrienne: WHEN WE COME BACK,
A FAMILY'S FIX FOR COVID
SEPARATION.
WHEN DAD RETURNS FROM WORK AWAY,
THEY ISOLATE TOGETHER.
BUT FIRST . . .
>> Andrew: THE HOCKEY WORLD IS
MOURNING TONIGHT AFTER THE
PASSING OF ONE OF THE GREATEST
PLAYERS TO EVER DON A WINNIPEG
JETS JERSEY.
>> TRIES TO CLEAR, KNOCKED DOWN
BY HAWERCHUK, THERE'S THE SHOT,
SCORES!
>> Andrew: DALE HAWERCHUK PLAYED
16 SEASONS IN THE NHL, AND
NEARLY A DECADE AS THE FACE OF
THE JETS.
A HALL OF FAMER, ALSO
REPRESENTED CANADA NUMEROUS
TIMES, AND PLAYED AN INTEGRAL
ROLE IN ONE OF THE MOST
MEMORABLE GOALS IN CANADIAN
HOCKEY HISTORY.
HE PASSED AWAY AFTER A BATTLE
WITH CANCER AT THE AGE OF 57.

>> I'M JOSH BLOCH.
TOMORROW ON CBC'S DAILY NEWS
PODCAST, "FRONT BURNER," WE
TAKE YOU INSIDE THE LAB WHERE
CANADIAN SCIENTISTS ARE RACING
TO MAKE A COVID-19 VACCINE.
SUBSCRIBE WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR
PODCASTS.
>> Adrienne: WELCOME BACK.
IT'S BEEN SUCH A STRANGE FIVE
MONTHS FOR CANADIANS KEEPING
FAMILIES SAFE, KEEPING KIDS
AMUSED, AND FOR MANY OF US OUR
BUBBLES ARE STILL GOING, BUT
THEY ALSO KEEP GROWING.
SO IMAGINE GOING IN AND OUT OF
QUARANTINE EVERY TWO WEEKS.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT ONE FAMILY
IN YELLOWKNIFE IS DOING.
KATE KYLE NOW ON HOW THEY'RE
COPING IN AND OUT OF ISOLATION,
AND WHY.
>> BUT WHY?
>> DADDY'S GOT TO GO TO WORK.
>> AFTER TWO WEEKS OF JUGGLING
WORK AND CHILD CARE, SHANNON
ALLERSTON SAYS SHE AND HER
CHILDREN ARE READY TO BE
REUNITED WITH THEIR DAD.
MIKE ALLERSTON WORKS IN FORT
McMURRAY, TWO WEEKS ON AND TWO
WEEKS OFF.
>> HELLO, JO JO.
>> THEY ARE USED TO THIS BACK
AND FORTH, BUT SINCE THE
PANDEMIC, THE HOMECOMINGS HAVE
GOTTEN MORE COMPLICATED.
THE WHOLE FAMILY HAS DECIDED TO
SELF-ISOLATE.
>> YOU TRY TO GET THE KIDS
PUMPED UP.
LIKE, DADDY WILL BE HOME
TOMORROW.
THEY HAVEN'T SEEN HIM FOR TWO
WEEKS, AND THEN THEY START TO
CRY BECAUSE NOW WE CAN'T INVITE
OUR FRIENDS OVER OR WE CAN'T GO
TO THE PARK.
>> Reporter: THERE'S ONLY BEEN
FIVE CONFIRMED CASES OF THE
VIRUS IN THE NORTHWEST
TERRITORIES, NO NEW ONES SINCE
APRIL.
THEY ARE BEING CAREFUL.
>> IT'S KIND OF LIKE EMOTIONAL
ROLLER COASTER ALL THE TIME.
>> THE KIDS ARE SMALL.
WE CAN'T ISOLATE FROM THE
CHILDREN OR ELSE THEY WOULD
NEVER SEE THEIR DAD AND SPEND
TIME WITH THEIR DAD.
>> Reporter: WITH FEWER FLIGHTS,
MIKE DRIVES 1600 KILOMETRES TO
AND FROM WORK.
>> WAKING UP AT 4 IN THE MORNING
AND DRIVING RIGHT THROUGH UNTIL
9, 10 AT NIGHT JUST SO I CAN GET
HOME TO MY FAMILY OR GET TO
WORK, RIGHT?
SO IT'S HAD A TOLL THAT WAY.
>> Reporter: BOTH PARENTS AGREE
THERE ARE POSITIVES TOO.
>> JUST PLAYING WITH MY KIDS.
I'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO A LOT OF
THINGS, BUILD THEM FORTS AND
TELLING STORIES.
STORIES AND WRESTLING WITH THEM.
>> I MEAN, JUST THE SNUGGLES IN
THE MORNING.
LIKE, WE'RE NOT RUSHING TO GET
EVERYBODY OUT THE DOOR.
>> WHEN MY DADDY IS HOME, I MISS
MY FRIENDS.
>> Reporter: BOTH MIKE AND
SHANNON WORRY ABOUT HOW ALL THIS
ISOLATING IS AFFECTING THEIR
CHILDREN, AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
SCHOOL STARTS.
THEY ARE PREPARING TO SEND THEIR
CHILDREN PART TIME.
>> KIND OF SAD TO KNOW HE'S NOT
GOING TO GET THE SAME KIND OF
ACCESS TO EDUCATION AS OTHER
KIDS.
HE'S NOT GOING TO GET TO SEE HIS
FRIENDS AS MUCH.
>> Reporter: THEY HAVE INQUIRED
ABOUT GETTING MIKE AN EXEMPTION
FROM HAVING TO SELF-ISOLATE.
ON FRIDAY THE FAMILY HEARD IT
MAY BE POSSIBLE IF HE CAN GET
TESTED IN ALBERTA BEFORE
RETURNING TO YELLOWKNIFE.
KATE KYLE, CBC NEWS,
YELLOWKNIFE.
>> Andrew: NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL," CALL IT A "FIELD OF
DREAMS" STORY.
>> LIKE I TOLD ALL THE GUYS, YOU
GOT TO BE A PART OF HISTORY
HERE.
>> Andrew: KEEPING A BALLPARK
HISTORY ALIVE IN OUR "MOMENT."
*
>> Andrew: WELL, THIS TIME IN
THE YEAR IN LONDON, ONTARIO
ISN'T JUST ANY BALLPARK.
FOR THE LAST 143 YEARS IT'S HELD
THE WORLD RECORD FOR THE OLDEST
AND LONGEST ACTIVE BASEBALL
FIELD IN THE WORLD.
THEN COVID-19 THREATENED TO END
IT, BUT THE CITY RALLIED TO KEEP
THE RECORD GOING, AND THAT IS
OUR "MOMENT."
*
>> LABATT'S BEEN THE
LONGEST-STANDING BASEBALL FIELD
IN THE WORLD.
SO ON FRIDAY WE'RE ACTUALLY
GOING TO PLAY A GAME AGAINST THE
GUELPH WARRIELS.
THIS GAME IS ACTUALLY GOING TO
MEAN A LOT.
IT'S GOING TO KEEP THE HERITAGE
GOING AND KEEP US GOING IN THE
GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS.
THE LEAGUE WAS CANCELLED THIS
YEAR JUST DUE TO COVID REASONS,
WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE.
HEALTH COMES FIRST.
THE CITY CAME TOGETHER AND WE
WERE ABLE TO PLAY A GAME AGAINST
ONE OF OUR RIVAL TEAMS, AND YOU
KNOW, IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT
GAME.
THERE WON'T BE ANY FANS OR
NOTHING ALLOWED, BUT WE ALWAYS
TELL PEOPLE, LABATT PARK, IT HAS
ITS OWN FANS IN SPIRIT ANYWAY.
ONCE YOU STEP ON TO THE OLDEST
BALLPARK, EVERYTHING JUST FEELS
GREAT ANYWAY.
GO OUT THERE AND PUT ON A GREAT
SHOW FOR THE CITY.
LIKE I TOLD THE GUYS, YOU GOT TO
BE A PART OF HISTORY HERE.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO LOOK
BACK AND TELL YOUR SON,
GRANDKIDS, OR ANYBODY YOU PLAYED
IN A GAME TO HELP SAVE THAT
HERITAGE.
AND I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE
ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I EVER
PLAYED IN MY LIFE.
>> Adrienne: OH, LOVE IT.
SO 1877, PLAYING GAMES THERE
SINCE 1877, THE OLDEST PARK IN
THE MLB IS FENWAY, 1912.
I MEAN, IT'S THE JUNIOR FIELD
THERE.
>> Andrew: AND YOU KNOW, HE'S
VERY RIGHT.
THE FANS WILL BE THERE IN
SPIRIT.
IT WILL BE BROADCAST ON TV AND
YOU CAN WATCH ON YouTube AS
WELL.
PROMISES TO BE A GOOD TIME.
YOU'LL HAVE TO COOK YOUR OWN
HOTDOGS AT HOME, THOUGH.
>> Adrienne: WHY NOT.
>> Andrew: THAT'S "THE NATIONAL"
FOR THIS TUESDAY, AUGUST 18.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
>> Adrienne: GOOD NIGHT.
