>> Adrienne:  GOOD EVENING.
I'M ADRIENNE ARSENAULT.
ANDREW IS AWAY.
TONIGHT, A MAJOR SETBACK FOR
MENG WANZHOU.
>> WE'RE OBVIOUSLY DISAPPOINTED
IN THE DECISION.
>> NO FREEDOM TODAY FOR THE
HUAWEI EXECUTIVE.
LEAVING OTTAWA STUCK BETWEEN TWO
GLOBAL SUPER POWERS WITH NO END
IN SIGHT.
OTTAWA VOWS ACTION AFTER A
SCATHING LONG-TERM CARE REPORT
BUT THE PROVINCE HAS KNOWN ABOUT
THESE PROBLEMS FOR YEARS.
>> IF THEY WERE BEHAVING LIKE
THAT WHILE THE ARMY WAS WATCHING
THEM, HOW ARE THEY BEHAVING
BEFORE THE ARMY CAME IN?
>> BUYING A BRAND NAME APPLIANCE
DOES NOT GUARANTEE PROTECTION
WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
>> YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU CAN
WASH YOUR HANDS OF IT BECAUSE
YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT?
>> HER APPLIANCE CAUSED A
KITCHEN FIRE.
NOW SHE'S GOING PUBLIC.
>> COVID SOLUTIONS BEYOND OUR
BORDERS AND LESSONS CANADA COULD
LEARN FROM GERMANY.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
[ * ]
>> CHINA'S STONE-COLD RELATIONS
WITH CANADA SEEM HEADED FOR AN
EVEN DEEPER FREEZE AFTER A B.C.
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE REJECTED
AN ARGUMENT THAT COULD HAVE
FREED MENG WANZHOU.
SHE'S, OF COURSE, THE CHINESE
TELECOM EXECUTIVE ARRESTED IN
CANADA 18 MONTHS AGO AT THE
REQUEST OF THE UNITED STATES
WHICH WANTS TO TRY HER FOR
FRAUD.
CHINA LASHED OUT BY SHUTTING
EXPORTS FROM HERE AND HOLDING
TWO CANADIANS IN CONDITIONS
DESCRIBED AS INHUMANE.
BRIER STUART STARTS OUR COVERAGE
WITH TODAY'S CRUCIAL DECISION.
>> Reporter:  MENG WANZHOU
SMILED POLITELY AS SHE WALKED
INTO COURT THIS MORNING, NOT THE
THUMBS UP SHE GAVE THIS WEEKEND
DURING A BOLD AND BIZARRE PHOTO
SHOOT.
IF THIS WAS A PRE-CELEBRATION,
IT CAME FAR TOO EARLY BECAUSE
THE COURT RULED AGAINST THE
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER.
>> WE'RE OBVIOUSLY DISAPPOINTED
IN THE DECISION.
OUR VIEW IS THIS AN EARLY STEP
IN WHAT'S LIKELY TO BE A MUCH
LONGER PROCESS FOR MENG WANZHOU
HERE IN CANADA.
>> Reporter:  A B.C. SUPREME
COURT JUSTICE RULED THAT CHARGES
MENG FACES IN THE U.S.
CONSTITUTE A CRIME IN CANADA AND
SHE'S ACCUSED OF LYING TO A BANK
ABOUT HUAWEI'S CONTROL OF A
COMPANY THAT ALLEGEDLY WAS
VIOLATING U.S. SANCTIONS AGAINST
IRAN.
THE JUSTICE RULED EVEN THOUGH
CANADA DOESN'T HEAD THE SAME
SANCTIONS, THIS CASE IS
ULTIMATELY ABOUT FRAUD AND
CANADA'S LAW OF FRAUD LOOKS
BEYOND INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARIES.
THE DECISION MEANS MENG WILL
REMAIN UNDER HOUSE ARREST IN
VANCOUVER AS THE EXTRADITION
CASE CONTINUES.
THEY WILL MAKE OTHER CASES
ARGUING THERE'S BEEN AN ABUSIVE
PROCESS SAYING SHE'S BEING USED
AS A POLITICAL PAWN.
EVEN THOUGH EXTRADITION CASES
ARE HARD TO FIGHT, THERE'S
PRECEDENT FOR SUCH ARGUMENTS.
>> IF SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING
THAT COULD BE CONSTRUED AS AN
ABUSIVE PROCESS, THAT COULD HAVE
SUCCESS.
>> Reporter:  NOT LONG AFTER
MENG WAS ARRESTED, PRESIDENT
TRUMP SAID HE WOULD INTERVENE IF
THE CASE IF IT WAS IN HIS
COUNTRY'S INTEREST.
IT'S LEFT CANADA WEDGED INTO AN
UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION WHICH
COULD GET WORSE.
>> WE DON'T WANT TO BE PULLED
INTO A FALL-SCALE CONFRONTATION
WITH CHINA BUT THERE ARE FORCES
NOW, BIG GEOPOLITICAL FORCES
PULLING US IN THAT DIRECTION.
>> Reporter:  AND THAT TENSION
REMAINS AS LONG AS MENG'S
EXTRADITION REMAINS A
POSSIBILITY.
BRIER STUART, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Adrienne:  PROOF OF CHINA'S
GROWING DISPLEASURES ALREADY
PILING UP AND WHEN A WORLD SUPER
POWER HAS A GRUDGE AGAINST YOU,
THERE'S A LOT AT STAKE.
EVAN DYER GIVES US A TASTE.
>> Reporter:  IN THE DAYS BEFORE
THE RULING, THERE WERE VEILED
THREATS FROM BEIJING AND FROM
OTTAWA, CONDEMNATION.
THE PURPOSE OF THE UNITED STATES
IS TO BRING DOWN HUAWEI AND
OTHER CHINESE HIGH-TECH
COMPANIES AND CANADA HAS BEEN
ACTING IN THE PROCESS AS AN
ACCOMPLICE OF THE UNITED STATES.
>> OUR DEMOCRACY IS BASED ON THE
RULE OF LAW.
WE HAVE A TREATY IN PLACE AND WE
ABIDE BY IT AND OUR JUDICIAL
SYSTEM IS INDEPENDENT OF OUR
POLITICAL SYSTEM AND THIS IS
SOMETHING EXTREMELY FUNDAMENTAL
TO OUR DEMOCRACY AND SOMETHING
WE ARE VERY PROUD OF.
>> Reporter:  TODAY'S RULING
DASHES FAINT HOPES OF FREEDOM
FOR THE TWO MICHAELS.
>> THIS IS ABOUT A LEGAL PROCESS
BEING FOLLOWED AND THE FACT THAT
THE RULE OF LAW IS CRITICAL FOR
ALL OF OUR WELL-BEING HERE IN
CANADA.
>> Reporter:  BUT I IF A COURT
RULES EXTRADITION CAN PROCEED,
THIS WILL LAND ON THE DESK OF
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
>> IF THE EXTRADITION THAT WOULD
BE UNJUST OR OPPRESSIVE WOULD BE
THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE, IN MY
VIEW, INTERVENE.
>> Reporter:  THE COURTHOUSE
PHOTO OP NOW LOOKS LIKE A FAILED
EMPLOY.
>> I'M INCIDENT AND IT'S CLEAR
I'LL INCIDENI'M INCIDENT AND THIS WILL BE
PROVEN TWO DAYS FROM NOW AND SO
IF THE DECISION IS ADVERSED,
THERE WILL BE MORE OUTRAGE.
[ * ]
>> Reporter:  THERE WERE SIGNS
IN RECENT DAYS THAT BEIJING
EXPECTED TODAY'S RULING TO GO
ITS WAY JUST AS TH THEY DISPLAY
THEIR ANNUAL DISPLAY OF POWER
AND THE NEWS WON'T BE WELL
RECEIVED.
>> Adrienne:  THERE WAS LIMITED
ACCESS TO THAT COURTHOUSE DUE TO
COVID-19 AND JASON PROCTOR WAS
THE ONLY SET OF EYES INSIDE AND
CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOU SAW?
>> Reporter:  IT WAS A DIFFERENT
MENG WANZHOU INSIDE THAT
COURTHOUSE THAN THE ONE OUTSIDE
ON THE STEPS ON SATURDAY.
SHE WAS WEARING A MASK AND THE
COURTROOM WAS VASTL VASTLY POP POPULATED.
THIS WAS A PLANNING OF CASE
MANAGEMENT AHEAD AND
ESSENTIALLY, A DISAPPOINTING DAY
FOR MENG WANZHOU.
>> SO WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP OF
THIS CASE?
>> Reporter:  WELL, SO SHE HAS A
COUPLE MORE CHANCES TO KNOCK THE
CASE DOWN AND HAVE IT TOSSED
OUT, BASICALLY.
ONE THROUGH A CLAIM OF ABUSIVE
PROCESS AND TRYING TO CLAIM THE
U.S. DOESN'T HAVE SUFFICIENT
EVIDENCE TO WARRANT EXTRADITING
HER.
IF THAT FAILS AND SHE'S
COMMITTED FOR EXTRADITION, THE
JUDGE MENTIONED IN HER RULING,
THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE COULD
HAVE IN REGARDS TO THIS IN
DECIDING IN THIS WOULD BE
CONTRARY TO CANADIAN VALUES,
SENDING HER FOR SOMETHING THAT
RELATES TO U.S. SANCTIONS THAT
CANADA DOESN'T HAVE.
>> JASON PROCTOR, THANK YOU FOR
THIS.
>>> TO ONTARIO NOW AND AFTER
THAT DISTURBING MILITARY REPORT
INTO CONDITIONS AT FIVE
LONG-TERM CARE HOMES, TODAY THE
PREMIER ANNOUNCED THE PROVINCE
IS TAKING OVER MANAGEMENT OF
FOUR OF THEM, PLUS ANOTHER.
>> WE NEED BOOTS ON THE GROUND
AND I WANTS EYES AND EARS IN THE
HOMES THAT WE'RE MOST WORRIED
ABOUT KEEPING A CLOSE WATCH.
>> THE PROVINCE HAD TAKEN OVER
TWO OTHER LONG-TERM CARE HOMES.
TODAY THE PREMIER ANNOUNCED,
QUOTE, EXTREMELY RIGOROUS
INSPECTIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT AT
MORE THAN A DOZEN HOPE HOMES
STRUGGLING WITH COVID-19 AND
RANDOM SPOT CHECKS AT OTHERS.
SO MANY OF THE PROBLEMS LIKE
STAFFING SHORTAGES AND
SANITATION CONCERNS PREDATE
COVID-19.
AND THE SOLDIERS NOW WORKING IN
THESE LONG-TERM CARE HOMES
AREN'T THE FIRST TO POINT THEM
OUT.
AS DAVID COMMON SHOWS US, THERE
HAD BEEN RED FLAGS FOR YEARS.
>> Reporter:  JUST AS DOUG FORD
CAME TO POWER, CBC MARKETPLACE
HIDDEN CAMERAS FOUND THE SHORT
STAFFING AT ONE LONG-TERM CARE
HOME.
RESIDENTS PLEADING FOR HELP AND
SOME WAITING AN HOUR FOR THE
TOILET AND STAFF WITH NO TIME TO
HELP.
>> DECADES OF NEGLECT AND WE'LL
FIX THE PROBLEM.
>> Reporter:  IT'S A PROBLEM THE
FORD GOVERNMENT KNEW ABOUT.
ALL FIVE HOMES IN THE MILITARY
REPORT HAVE YEARS OF DOCUMENTED
INFRACTIONS BY INSPECTORS UNDER
BOTH LIBERAL PC GOVERNMENTS.
AT THE ORCHARD VILLA, STAFFING
SHORTAGES IMPACTING RESIDENT'S
COMPARCARE.
IN 2017, REPEATED WARNINGS FROM
INSPECTORS THAT EATOVVILLE
FAILED TO KEEP THE HOME CLEAN
AND SANITARY AND STAFF NOT
PARTICIPATING IN INFECTION,
PREVENTION AND CONTROL.
>> WE'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS FOR
YEARS.
>> Reporter:  ADVOCATES SAY THE
PROBLEMS EXTEND TO HUNDREDS OF
HOMES.
DIANA PEPPIN WHO HUT  PUT A CAMERA IN
HER MOM'S ROOM GOT A COLD
SHOULDER FROM GOVERNMENT.
>> HAD THEY IMPLEMENTED PROPER
PRACTISES, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN
A LOT FEWER DEATHS IN THE COVID
CRISIS.
>> THE PREMIER AND HIS MINISTER
SPEAKER CANNOT CLAIM TO BE
SURPRISED BY A CRISIS THEY HAD A
HAND IN CREATING.
>> Reporter:  THE OPPOSITION
ARGUES THE PROVINCE HAS TURNED A
BLIND EYE AFTER EFFECTIVELY
TENDING UNANNOUNCED
COMPREHENSIVE INSPECTIONS AND
RESPONDING OWN WHEN SOMETHING
WENT WRONG.
NOW THAT IT HAS, ONTARIO IS
SENDING INSPECTOR TO SPEND TWO
WEEKS IN THE WORST HIT
FACILITIES.
AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM,
EATONVILLE WHERE AT LEAST 42
PEOPLE HAVE DIED AND LIKE THE
OTHER HOMES TAKEN OVER BY THE
GOVERNMENT TODAY, IT'S RUN BY A
FOR-PROFIT GROUP.
>> SO DAVID, THESE GROUPS OWN
OTHER HOMES IN ONTARIO, TOO,
RIGHT?
>> Reporter:  YEAH, ABSOLUTELY,
88 OF THEM ACROSS THE PROVINCE
AND THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT YET
TAKING OVER THE OTHER FACILITIES
JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE TAKEN
OVER THESE ONES.
THOUGH THE GOVERNMENT DOES SAY
THEY WILL SHUT DOWN FACILITIES,
PULL LICENSES IF IT COMES DOWN
TO THAT.
>> SO WE KNOW YOU'VE BEEN
TRACKING ISSUES IN LONG-TERM
CARE FOR YEARS, REALLY, SO WHEN
YOU LOOK AT THE MILITARY REPORT,
WHAT STRUCK YOU?
>> Reporter:  SHOCKING, NOT
SURPRISING, FRANKLY, THAT THESE
ARE THE VERY SAME ISSUES THAT
WHISTLEBLOWERS AND WORKERS AND
INSPECTORS AND PUBLIC INQUIRIES
HAVE BEEN WARNING ABOUT FOR
YEARS.
IT'S A GIANT COSTLY PROBLEM AND
PEOPLE ARE ARRIVING IN LONG-TERM
CARE HOMES LIKE THIS, OLDER,
SICKER AND THE MONEY AND THE
STAFFING AND THE TRAINING SIMPLY
HASN'T KEPT UP.
THERE ARE GOOD HOMES AND GOOD
PEOPLE WORKING INSIDE OF THEM
BUT I AM CONTINUALLY STRUCK BY
THOSE WHO REALLY UNDERSTAND
LONG-TERM CARE REPEATEDLY
TELLING US THAT THEY DON'T WANT
TO END UP IN A CARE HOME.
A LOT OF THINGS DON'T CHANGE.
>> REMARKABLE.
>>> AT THE CENTER CENTRE OF THE
ALLEGATIONS OF ABUSE AND NEGLECT
REPORTED BY THE SOLDIERS IF
ONTARIO LONG-TERM CARE HOMES ARE
RESIDENTS, OF COURSE.
AS JACQUELINE HANSEN TELLS US,
THEIR FAMILIES ARE SHAKEN.
>> HOW DO YOU FEEL?
>> Reporter:  SHERRY'S MOTHER
LIVES IN ORCHARD VILLA, ONE OF
THE FIVE CARE HOMES IN THE
MILITARY'S SCATHING REPORT.
>> I SEE BITES ON MY MOM'S NECK,
THE COCKROACHES AND BU BUGS IN
THERE ARE UNACCEPTABLE.
>> READING THE REPORT IS
APPALLING FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY
TO READ, BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW
THE RESIDENTS FEEL.
>> Reporter:  THE PROBLEMS MAY
HAVE BEEN EVEN WORSE.
>> IF THEY WERE BEHAVING LIKE
THAT WHEN THE ARMY WAS WATCHING
THEN, HOW WERE THEY BEHAVING
BEFORE THE ARMY CAME IN?
>> Reporter:  COVID-19 HAS
LOCKED FAMILY MEMBERS OUT OF THE
LONG-TERM CARE HOMES AND THAT
COULD MAKE EXISTING ISSUES EVEN
MORE CHALLENGING.
>> MANY HOMES ARE RELIANT ON
FAMILIES AND VOLUNTEERS.
>> Reporter:  STAFF ALREADY
STRETCHED THIN ARE WITHOUT THE
HELPING HANDS ACCORDING TO THIS
EXPERT IN LONG-TERM CARE.
>> THEY ARE THE QUITES AND EARS
FOR FAMILY MEMBERS.
SHE HASN'T EATEN HER SNACK, DID
YOU REMEMBER THE AFTERNOON
MEDICINES BECAUSE SHE WAS
SLEEPING WHEN THE MED CART WENT
PASSED.
>> IT'S UNFORTUNATE THE PANDEMIC
HAD TO OCCUR FOR THIS TO COME TO
LIGHT.
>> Reporter:  MARY FATHER LIVED
IN HAWTHORNE HOME FOR FOUR YEARS
WITH DEMENTIA AND CAN'T WALK OR
TALK.
SHE'S GRATEFUL THE MILITARY
COULD STEP IN AND SPEAK OUT.
>> THANK YOU TO THE MILITARY.
THEY'RE FINALLY HERE LISTENING
TO THE FAMILIES.
THEY WERE THE WHISTLEBLOWER.
>> Reporter:  SAMONE WANTS TO
SEE STAFF BETTER TRAINED AND
PROTECTED.
ZALINSKY IS CAMPAIGNING FOR
BETTER CARE FOR HER MONEY.
>> IF THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD
GET AWAY WITH THIS, THEY PICKED
THE WRONG GROUP OF FAMILIES.
>> Reporter:  KIDS NOW ADVOCATES
FOR PARENTS THEY THOUGHT WERE IN
SAFE HANDS.
JACQUELINE HANSEN, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne:  THE CANADIAN
FORCES HAVE BEEN WORKING IN
LONG-TERM CARE HOMES IN QUEBEC
AND THE SOLDIERS THERE PREPARED
THEIR OWN REPORT AND TODAY, THE
PROVINCE RELEASED IT.
AN INSIDE LOOK INTO 25 HOMES IN
THE COUNTRY'S EPICENTRE FOR
COVID-19.
HERE IS ALISON NORTHCOTT WITH
WHAT WENT WRONG.
>> Reporter:  LAURIE GORDON'S
MOTHER, LYDIA, DIED IN A
LONG-TERM CARE HOME THIS SPRING.
>> IT'S REALLY A NIGHTMARE.
I WAS RENDERED POWERLESS.
>> Reporter:  THAT HOME, ONE OF
25, WHERE THE CANADIAN MILITARY
SENT SOLDIERS INTO HELP.
IN A REPORT RELEASED TODAY, THE
MILITARY SAID IT FOUND MANY WERE
STRUGGLING WITH THE LACK OF
STAFF, IMPROPER USE OF
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND
MEASURES NOT ALWAYS FOLLOWED.
NONE OF IT IS A SURPRISE TO
GORDON.
>> I WAS SAYING THIS BEFORE
ANYBODY WOULD LISTEN.
IT'S SAD IT TAKES AN ARMY TO
CONFIRM WHAT I'VE WITNESSED.
>> SO I SHOW UP ON THE FLOOR AND
SAY, WHERE IS YOUR VIZOR.
>> Reporter:  AN AIR TRAFFIC
CONTROLLER WHO HAS BEEN
VOLUNTEERING AT A LONG-TERM CARE
HOME TO HELP FILL THE NEED.
AFTER JUST FOUR HOURS OF
TRAINING, HE WAS PUT TO WORK.
>> I HAVE SEEN MOST OF THE
EVENTS THAT WERE REPORTED IN THE
MILITARY REPORTS.
THE PROBLEM TRAVELING FROM THE
RED ZONE TO THE YELLOW ZONE AND
PEOPLE NOT WEARING PROPERLY
THEIR SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND LACK
OF STAFFING, OBVIOUSLY, A LACK
OF LEADERSHIP.
>> Reporter:  HE SAYS HE SAW
SOME RESIDENTS NEGLECTED AND
MISTREATED, BUT HE STRESSES IT'S
NOT THE NORM AND SAYS EXHAUSTED
WORKERS ARE DOING THEIR BEST.
THE QUEBEC'S PREMIER SAYS THE
FINDINGS HIGHLIGHT STAFF
SHORTAGES.
>> WE HAVE TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE
MISSING RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING
AND, OF COURSE, ON TOP OF THAT,
SOME OF THE EMPLOYEES WERE
INFECTED.
>> Reporter:  LEGAULT SAYS
THINGS HAVE IMPROVED BUT HE
STILL ASKED OTTAWA TO KEEP THE
SOLDIERS HERE UNTIL SEPTEMBER.
>> WE DON'T HAVE THE NUMBER OF
PERSONNEL AND WHEN YOU HAVE
PEOPLE WORKING SEVEN DAYS A
WEEK, THAT'S NOT SUSTAINABLE.
>> Reporter:  QUEBEC IS LODGING
A NEW RECRUITING CAMPAIGN TO
FILL THOSE CRUCIAL JOBS.
>> Adrienne:  SENIORS ARE
PARTICULARLY AT RISK WHEN IT
COMES TO EXTREME HEAT AND WHEN
PARTS THE COUNTRY EXPERIENCING
HIGH TEMPERATURES, CANADA'S TOP
DOCTOR ISSUED WARNINGS ABOUT THE
USE OF MASKS.
WEARING ONE OUTSIDE DURING HIGH
HEAT AND HUMIDITY CAN MAKE
BREATHING MORE DIFFICULT, SO
INSTEAD, STICK TO PHYSICAL
DISTANCING AND SAVE THE MASK
INDOOR WHERE IT'S MORE
CHALLENGING TO MAINTAIN THE
TWO-METRE RULE.
>>> SO CANADA'S LARGEST CITY HAS
RELEASED SOME DATA SHOWING WHICH
NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS OF COVID-19.
TORONTO DID THIS DESPITE
WARNINGS FROM EXPERTS AND EVEN
ONTARIO'S PREMIER SAID THAT
COULD STIGMATIZE ALREADY
VULNERABLE PEOPLE AND
BUSINESSES.
HEALTH REPORTER VIK ADOPHIA
BREAKS IT DOWN.
>> Reporter:  TORONTO IS
INCREASINGLY BEARING THE BRUNT
OF THE PANDEMIC.
SINCE MAY 10th, MORE THAN 40%
OF ONTARIO'S NEW CASES HAVE BEEN
IN THE CITY AND NOW WE KNOW
EXACTLY WHERE.
THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF
OUTBREAKS ARE IN THE OUTER EDGES
OF THE CITY AND ONE AREA HAD
1500 CASES PER 100,000 PEOPLE.
ON THE LOW END, ONE NEIGHBORHOOD
JUST HAD 39.
COVID-19'S DESPAIRTIES LAID BARE
WHICH MAY EXPLAIN THE MIXED
FEELINGS ABOUT RELEASING THE
DATA.
>> I DON'T WANT TO STIGMATIZE.
>> I BELIEVE THIS INFORMATION,
RELEASING IT TO THE PUBLIC WILL
DO FAR MORE HELP THAN IT WILL DO
HARM.
>> Reporter:  THIS INFECTIOUS
DISEASE SPECIALIST SAYS THE CITY
MADE THE RIGHT CALL.
>> IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT SO
WE HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING
OF WHERE THIS INFECTION IS AND
WHERE PUBLIC HEALTH RESOURCES
SHOULD BE POURED INTO.
>> Reporter:  THE NEIGHBORHOODS
HIT THE HARDEST FALL INTO TWO
VERY DIFFERENT CAMPS, EITHER
COMMUNITIES WITH MORE SENIORS
THAT ARE MAJORITY CANADIAN BORN
AND HIGHER INCOME OR
PREDOMINANTLY IMMIGRANT, LOWER
INCOME AND LESS LIKELY TO HAVE A
UNIVERSITY DEGREE.
>> COVID-19 IS NOT A GREAT
EQUALIZER.
IT HAS BEEN A CRUEL EXPOSURE OF
THE FAULTLINES AND LONG-STANDING
POVERTY AND INQUALIT INEQUALITY.
>> Reporter:  UNEMPLOYMENT HAVE
LONG UNDERPINNED THE OUTCOMES
AND COVID-19 IS NO EXCEPTION.
>> IF YOU LOOK AT RACE AND
IMMIGRATION STATUS, THOSE ARE
THE RISK FACTORS AND THAT IS
WHAT WE'RE SEEING AND WHAT WE'VE
KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME ABOUT
THESE DESPAIRTIES.
>> Reporter:  THE CITY OF
TORONTO SAYS THE OUTBREAK MAP
WILL ASSIST IN REDOUBLINGESTDOUBLING
EFFORTS TO GET PEOPLE TESTED BUT
MAKING THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS MORE
SUSCEPTIBLE WILL BE A LONG-TERM
GOAL.
VIK ADOPHIA, CBC USE THIS,
TORONTO.
>>> DONALD TRUMP'S LATEST TWEET
STORM IS AIMED AT A BRAND NEW
TARGET, TWITTER.
>> WILL YOU TRY TO SHUT DOWN
TWITTER, SIR?
>> NEXT, THE PRESIDENTIAL TWEETS
CHECKED.
AND WE LOOK AT COVID-19 BEYOND
OUR BORDERS.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR AND THE
LESSONS TO BE LEARN.
 LEARNED.
HER BIG BRAND NAME APPLIANCE
CAUGHT FIRE BUT THAT BIG BRAND
NAME SAYS IT WOULDN'T PAY.
>> YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU COULD
WASH YOUR
V
IDEO.
POLICE HAVE USED TEAR BOMBS TO
PUSH THEM BACK.
SEARCH CREWS FOUND THE WRECKAGE
OF THE METROPOLITA HELICOPTER THAT CRASHED
THEY'RE GREECE KILLING ALL SIX
ON BOARD.
THE DISCOVERY WAS MADE WITH THE
HELP OF A U.S. NAVY DRONE AT A
DEPTH OF MORE THAN THREE
KILOMETERS.
>> UNFORTUNATELY, WE WILL NOT
LAUNCH TODAY.
>> AND BAD WEATHER FORCED
SPACeX TO CALL OFF A HISTORIC
LAUNCH TODAY, LESS THAN 20
MINUTES BEFORE LIFT-OFF AND THEY
WILL TRY AGAIN SATURDAY FOR WHAT
COULD BE THE FIRST TIME A
PRIVATE COMPANY TAKES ASTRONAUTS
INTO ORBIT.
THE DELAY WAS DISAPPOINTING FOR
ON-LOOKERS, INCLUDING PRESIDENT
TRUMP WHO FLEW IN FOR THE
OCCASION.
FOR MANY AMERICANS THAT LAUNCH
WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A WELCOMED
DISTRACTION AND THE U.S. HAS NOW
SURPASSED 100,000 DEATHS.
IT WAS AN INEVITABLABILITY BUT
THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY LESS
JARRING.
THE CORONAVIRUS HAS KILLED MORE
THAN THE VIETNAM COM OBTAINED COMBINED.
ON TWITTER, THE U.S. PRESIDENT
THREATENED TO TAKE BIG ACTION
AGAINST SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES
AT TWITTER ADDED FACT CHECKS TO
TWO OF HIS TWEETS AND AS PAUL
HUNTER TELLS US, THE WHITE HOUSE
WILL SIGN AN EXECUTIVE ORDER
TOMORROW.
>> WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING TO DO
WITH TWITTER?
>> Reporter:  THE QUESTIONS WENT
UNANSWERED.
WILL HE REGULATE IT?
CAN DONALD TRUMP SHUT DOWN
TWITTER?
HERE IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.
IN A TWEET OVERNIGHT, DONALD
TRUMP AGAIN SLAMMED THE PUSH TO
SLAM MAIL-IN BALLOTS FOR THE
COMING ELECTION SUGGESTING
THEY'LL BE SUBSTANTIALLY
FRAUDULENT AND MAILBOXES WILL BE
ROBBED AND BALLOTS WILL BE
FORGED.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE BLUE
HYPERLINK EMBEDDED BY TWITTER.
GET THE FACTS ABOUT MAIL-IN
BALLOTS.
CLICK ON IT AND TRUMP'S TWEET
LINKS TO HEADLINES CALLING HIS
COMMENTS UNSUBSTANTIATED.
SCROLL DOWN AND YOU'LL SEE IT
AGAIN AND AGAIN.
IN REPORTS BY CNN AND
"WASHINGTON POST" AND OTHERS,
MAIL VOTING FRAUD, SAYS ONE, IS
EXTREMELY REMEMBER.
TRUMP MAY HAVE SAID NOTHING ON
IT BUT HE TWEETED, TWITTER IS
COMPLETELY STIFLING FREE SPEECH
AND I AS PRESIDENT WILL NOT
ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN.
BIG ACTION TO FOLLOW.
TWITTER HAS BEEN FACT-CHECKING
TWEETS BROADLY LATELY, CITING
THE DANGERS OF FALSE INFORMATION
IN THE TIME OF CROW VI COVID BUT THE
FIRST TIME IT'S BEEN APPLIED TO
TRUMP'S TWEETS OR AS THE WHITE
HOUSE PUT IT TODAY, THE TRUMP
ADVISER WAS ASKED WHETHER IN
TRUTH CAN SAY WHENEVER IT WANTS
ABOUT THE TWEETS.
>> WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
>> Reporter:  TWITTER MAY FIND
OUT SOON ENOUGH.
WORD TONIGHT THAT TRUMP WILL
SIGN AN EXECUTIVE ORDER
TOMORROW, AS THE WHITE HOUSE PUT
IT, PERTAINING TO SOCIAL MEDIA.
EVEN THOUGH IT'S STILL UNCLEAR,
WHAT, IF ANY, POWER THE
PRESIDENT HAS TO STOP ANYONE
FROM FACT-CHECKING THE WORDS OF
DONALD TRUMP.
PAUL HUNTER, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Adrienne:  AN UNFLINCHING
VOICE DURING ANOTHER GLOBAL
PANDEMIC DECADES AGO HAS DIED.
LARRY KRAMER, PROVOCATIVE
PLAYWRIGHT AND PIONEER FOR GAY
RIGHTS.
HE STOOD UP FOR HIS MARGIN
EARLIESEALIZEDCOMMUNITY.
>> YOU GET TIRED OF IT.
>> THE NEW YORKER SPOKE OUT IN
SUPPORT OF VICTIMS OF AIDS.
>> THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL
PROBLEM OR MORAL PROBLEM BUT A
HEALTH PROBLEM.
A STRANGE MYSTERIOUS VIRUS HAS
FALLEN INTO THIS COMMUNITY AND
COULD HAVE FALLEN INTO YOUR
COMMUNITY.
>> KRAMER WAS THE FOUNDER OF
ACT-UP.
THAT GROUP DEMANDED AN END TO
THE SLUGGISH RESPONSE TO HIV
TREATMENT.
AS ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE DANGERS
OF AIDS RELAXED, THEY CONTINUED
TO SPEAK OUT, OFTEN CRITICAL OF
THOSE IN HIS OWN COMMUNITY.
>> THE YOUNGER GENERATION, THE
YOUNGER GAY GENERATION,
PARTICULARLY, IS REALLY PATHETIC
IN DEALING IN ANYTHING HAVING TO
DO WITH THEIR HEALTH AND FUTURE
AND BEING GAY.
IT'S LIKE THEY'RE ALL ZONED OUT.
>> TONY WINNER,LARRY KRAMER WAS
84.
>>> NEXT, THE FIGHT FOR COVID-19
STRETCHES WELL BEYOND OR BORDERS
AND WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM
OTHERS AROUND THE WORLD AND WHAT
SHOULD WE BE WATCHING FOR?
WE ASKED THE DOCTORS.
>> THE KITCHEN WAS FULL OF
THICK, DENSE SMOKE.
>> HER KITCHEN CAUGHT FIRE AND
WHEN
>> Adrienne:  WHEN YOU'RE
WORRIED ABOUT YOUR FAMILY, YOUR
FRIENDS, YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WHAT
HAPPENS FAR FROM VIEW DOESN'T
ALWAYS FEEL URGENT.
SINCE THIS PANDEMIC BEGAN, MORE
THAN 5.6 MILLION COVID-19 CASES
HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED WORLD-WIDE.
IT IS CLEAR THERE IS A LOT GOING
ON AND THERE ARE LESSONS TO BE
LEARNED BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS
WITH COVID AROUND THE GLOBE
IMPACTS WHAT HAPPENS HERE IN
CANADA, TOO.
[ * ]
>> FOR A PLANET SHARING A
PROBLEM, SHARING PROBLEMS ARE
THE ONLY SOLUTIONS AND SOMETIMES
IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS.
DO ELEVATORS OF THE FUTURE LOOK
LIKE THAILAND, WITH FLOOR
PETALS.
ARE CONCERTS EFFECTIVELY PARKING
LOT PARTIES?
DOES COMMERCE LIKE LIKE THE
SLIGHTLY CREEPY BUT INNOVATIVE
RESTAURANTS OF LUGE-I LUGE LITHUANIA.
PAY ATTENTION TO SHARED COVID
CONSEQUENCES TOO, DOZENS OF
COUNTRIES HAVE TO SUSPEND
VACCINATION PROGRAMMES BECAUSE
OF COVID-19 AND 80 MILLION KIDS
RISK NOT GETTING SHOTS AND
MILLIONS HAVEN'T BEEN THAT
WORRYING SINCE BEFORE WIDE-SCALE
IMMUNIZATION PROGRAMMES IN
THE '70S.
COVID-19 IS NOT AN
EQUAL-OPPORTUNITY FEAT.
LIKE ALL INJUSTICES THAT HAVE
LESS LOSE MORE.
MEXICO ALREADY IN A RECESSION
WHEN COVID STRUCK AND A MILLION
MORE JOBS ARE GONE AS THOUSANDS
DIE FROM THE VIRUS.
SO INDIGENOUS WOMEN WHO WOULD
NORMALLY MAKE DOLLS FOR TOURISTS
VITAL TO FEEDING THEIR FAMILIES
NOW BARTER FOR FOOD AND THERE
ARE TO JOBS.
OUR FAMILIES NEED TO SURVIVE IN
THE FACE OF THIS PANDEMIC.
SURVIVAL IS FAR FROM GUARANTEED,
CERTAINLY NOT IN PLACES WHERE IT
WAS ALREADY PRECARIOUS.
IMAGINE A PANIC IN A CROWDED
CAMP IN SYRIA, THERE ISN'T A
LUXURY OF SOCIAL DISTANCING
THERE.
FOOD IS SCARCE AND SO PRECIOUS
CLEAN WATER HARD TO FIND AND THE
PROSPECT OF COVID THERE IS
TERRIFYING.
THE IDEA THAT WE'RE ALL IN THIS
TOGETHER DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE ALL
IN IT EQUALLY.
>> EARLIER THIS EVENING, I SPOKE
WITH DR. SAMANTHA NUTT, FOUNDER
OF HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATION AND
INFECTIOUS DISEASE SHIFT,
DR. ISAAC BOGOCH, WHO CONSULTED
ON PREPAREDNESS AND HERE IS THAT
CONVERSATION.
HI THERE.
THANK YOU BOTH FOR MAKING TIME
FOR US.
SO DR. BOGOCH, YOU'VE BEEN
TRACKING THIS FROM THE BEGINNING
AND WHAT KIND OF WORLD ARE YOU
MOST WORRIED ABOUT RIGHT NOW?
>> CURRENTLY, LATIN AMERICA AND
THE CARIBBEAN HAS A LOT OF
TRANSMISSION.
WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF THIS IN
BRAZIL, PERU AND ECUADOR AND
NORTHERN NIGERIA AND OTHER
PLACES IN THE CONTINENT.
THOSE ARE THE PLAYS WE'RE
WATCHING CLOSELY TO SEE NOW THIS
IS TAKING OFF AND SADLY, IT
LOOKS LIKE IT'S TAKING OFF IN
MANY OF THOSE REGIONS.
>> DR. NUTT, WHEN YOU HEAR THAT,
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE
COPING CAPACITY OF SOME OF THOSE
REGIONS?
>> IT'S LIMITED, ESPECIALLY IN
LOW-INCOME COUNTRIES AND, FOR
EXAMPLE, MANY OF THEN ARE REALLY
STRUGGLING OR OUTBID WHEN IT
COMES TO CRITICAL SUPPLIES, LIKE
PPE'S.
THERE'S VERY LITTLE HEALTH
INFRASTRUCTURE TO BEGIN WITH AND
VERY LITTLE CAPACITY.
IN SOME CASES WHILE YOU'RE
DEALING WITH VERY CORRUPT
REGIMES AND CORRUPT GOVERNMENTS
WHO ARE UNDERGOING SOME FORM OF
CIVIL WARFARE AND WHO MAY NOT
FEEL TH THE INCENTIVES.
BUT THE ROHINGYA REFUGEE CAMPS,
CLOSE TO A MILLION PEOPLE AND NO
SERVICE TO THOSE REFUGEES.
SO THE LACK OF ACCESS IS ONE OF
THE HARDEST THINGS, W WE ARE SEEING
IN IMPOVERISHED NATIONS.
>> TO LOOK AHEAD, DR. BOGOCH,
WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING IN THE
REST OF THE WORLD, NOT JUST IN
THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
AND NOT TO SOUND INCREDIBLY
SELF-ISH, BUT HOW DOES THAT
THREATEN THE REOHINOH REOPENING HERE?
>> IF THERE'S A PROBLEM ANYWHERE
IN THE WORLD, THERE'S A PROBLEM
EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
WE KNOW PEOPLE WILL BE MOBILE
AGAIN AND WATCH TRAVELS SCALE UP
AS BORDERS OPEN AND SEASONALLY,
IF THERE IS A HIGH BURDEN OF
INFECTION ANYWHERE, FOR EXAMPLE,
CURRENTLY THERE'S A LOT OF FOCUS
IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE
CARIBBEAN, BUT ANYBODY IN THE
WORLD, THIS CAN LAND IN OUR
DOORSTEP IN CANADA AND WE IGNITE
ANOTHER CHAIN OF INFECTION.
SO WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL IS
MINDFUL WHEN WE START TO LET
THESE PUBLIC HEALTH
RESTRICTIONS, HOW WE DO IT, HOW
WE DO IT SAFELY AND MONITOR
PEOPLE COMING INTO THE COUNTRY
AND WHAT MECHANISMS WE HAVE IN
PLACE HERE IN CANADA TO ENSURE
THAT IF WE DO INTRODUCE THIS
INFECTION, WE CAN JUMP ON IT
QUICKLY TO PREVENT FURTHER
TRANSMISSION.
>> AND I SUPPOSE THE RISKS,
DR. NUTT, JUST AREN'T ABOUT
COVID-19.
THERE ARE SEVERAL STUDIES
SUGGESTING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF INDIRECT DEATHS FROM COVID,
ESPECIALLY IN LOW-INCOME
COUNTRIES IN THE NEXT FEW
MONTHS, CHILDREN PARTICULARLY
VULNERABLE.
HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?
>> WELL, YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT.
THE LANCET PUBLISHED A REPORT
THAT SAID THAT IN ONE OF THE
WORSE CASE SCENARIOS, MORE THAN
A MILLION CHILD DEATHS WOULD
TAKE PLACE IN LOW INCOME NATIONS
AND THE WAY IT HAPPENS THEY'RE
FOCUSED ON COMBATING COVID AND
ENENCOURAGING IN LOCKDOWNS AND
THERE'S A CRITICAL DISRUPTION OF
THE SUPPLY CHAIN, ESPECIALLY
RATHEAROUND FOOD.
SO CHILDCARE AND DISRUPTED AND
IT'S AN ENORMOUS NUMBER IN THE
NEXT SIX MONTHS THAT COULD
PERISH IN SERVICES.
WE ALSO KNOW THAT COMPARED TO
2019, WE HAD TWICE AS MANY
FOOD-INSECURE PEOPLE, MORE THAN
260 MILLION.
SO THIS IS GOING TO HAVE A
DEVASTATING EFFECT IN MANY
CORNERS OF THE WORLD.
IN CANADA, WE HAVEN'T HAD A
SINGLE CHILD DEATH RELATED TO
COVID, BUT THESE ARE THE
CONSEQUENCES THAT PLAY
THEMSELVES OUT, ESPECIALLY IN
VULNERABLE PLACES.
>> SO AT THONCE WE HAVE A VACCINE,
DR. BOGOCH, HOW BIG OF AN
OPERATION TO GET THE ENTIRE
PLANET VACCINATED?
>> IT'S GOING TO BE AN ENORMOUS
TASK.
WE HAVE TO DEVELOP A VACCINE AND
WE KNOW THERE'S 100 OR SO GROUPS
WORKING ON VACCINATIONS AND MOST
WON'T BE SUCCESSFUL, PROBABLY
ONLY 2% TO 3% WILL BE SUCCESSFUL
AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE HAVE
BILLIONS OF PEOPLE AND IT WILL
BE A MONSTER OF A TASK TO DO.
THE EXTENT OF IT THAT AS THERE
IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE
VACCINES AND RESEARCH AND
FINDING A VACCINE, THERE'S
SIMULTANEOUS INFRASTRUCTURE TO
MASS PRODUCE A VACCINE.
SO HOPEFULLY THE TIMELINE OF
CREATING A VACCINE THAT WILL
WORK AND DISTRIBUTING IT WILL BE
AS SMALL AS POSSIBLE.
>> SO VERY BRIEFLY, LAST
QUESTION TO YOU, DR. NUTT, WE
ALL WORRY ABOUT OUR OWN HEALTH
AND FINANCES, BUT WE'RE ASKING
PEOPLE TO THINK ABOUT COVID-19
ON A GLOBAL SCALE AND IS THERE
ANYTHING ANYONE CAN DO ABOUT
THAT?
>> THE U.N. APPEAL HAS
$7 BILLION TO ENSURE LOW-INCOME
NATIONS HAVE THE INCORPORAT ABILITY TO
RESPOND AND HANDLE THIS CRISIS
AND SO FAR LESS THAN A BILLION
DOLLARS HAS BEEN MET THROUGH
THAT APPEAL AND THERE IS A LOT
THAT CANADA CAN DO TO CONTRIBUTE
TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE ON THE
FRONTLINES TRYING TO COMBAT THIS
CRISIS.
IT COMES BACK TO WHAT B ORANGES THE BEGINN
ING,
WE ARE ALL AT RISK.
>> CLEARLY A LONG ROAD AHEAD NO
MATTER WHERE YOU FIND YOURSELF
IN THE WORLD.
>>> SO A LOT OF CANADIANS ARE
STILL OVERSEAS RIGHT NOW, RIDING
OUT THIS PANDEMIC IN THEIR
ADOPTED HOPES.
>> I'M BRITNEY FROM B.C. AND
THIS IS MY HUSBAND.
THERE IN DECEMBER, WE WERE IN
CANADA AND WE WERE TO HAVE A BIG
CELEBRATION AND A TRADITIONAL
WHITE DRESS WALKING DOWN THE
AISLE AND WE GOT CANCELED AND WE
HAVE BEEN IN OUR HOME SINCE, I
BELIEVE, MARCH 13th.
DURING TH THE WEEK, WE HAVE A DAY
THAT RESPONSES TO OUR I.D. CARD
AND MY ENDS IN A SEVEN AND I CAN
ONLY GO OUT ON A DAY THAT ENDS
IN I A CERTAINLY.
 SEVEN.
>> TWO MONTHS AGO THERE WAS NO
WORK AND VERY LITTLE SUPPORT
FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
I DON'T WANT THIS TO PUSH IT
BACK.
THIS IS A SCARRY TIME IN
COLOMBIA BUT IT'S A HOPEFUL
TIME.
WHERE WE LIVE, IT'S
ENTREPRENEURSHIP CAPITAL AND
BUSINESSES ARE THINKING, OK, I
NEED TO REINVENT MYSELF.
THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT LONG-TERM
AND WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE.
>> WHEN WE COME BACK, A COUNTRY
BEING PRAISED FOR HOW IT'S
HANDLING COVID-19.
>> OUR GUESTS NEED TO WEAR A
MASK BUT NOT AT THE TABLE.
>> LOOKING FOR LESSONS
>>> OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS,
WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT HOW OTHER
COUNTRIES HAVE HANDLED THE
PANDEMIC AND TONIGHT, WHAT
GERMANY CAN TEACH US.
ANGELA MERKEL SAYS IN THE DAYS
AGAINST THE NIGH COVID, THERE WAS A
DEATH RATE OF JUST 5% AND WHAT
GERMANY DID TO KEEP IT SO LONG.
>> Reporter:  RAISE A GLASS TO
THE STEADY EASING OF GERMANY'S
LOCKDOWN AND A LITTLE BIT OF
PATIO OPTIMISM.
ONCE THRIVING ALL-NIGHT DANCE
CLUB, REPOSITIONING AND
REEMERGING, BLINKING INTO THE
SUNLIGHT IS A BEER GARDEN.
>> NOW WE HAVE DOING SERVICE AT
THE TABLE AND THIS IS A BIG
CHANGE FOR US.
THIS IS 15 METRES.
>> OUR GUESTS NEED TO WEAR A
MASK, BUT NOT AT THE TABLE.
>> Reporter:  GERMANY'S RESPONSE
TO THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS HAS
BEEN WIDELY PRAISED, A HIGH
NUMBER OF INFECTIONS, YES, BUT A
MUCH LOWER DEATH RATE COMPARED
TO OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES.
>> I THINK WE HAVE A VERY STRONG
AND GOOD SYSTEM.
>> THEY REACTED QUITE SOON
COMPARED TO OTHER COUNTRIES.
>> Reporter:  29-YEAR-OLD IT
WORKER DENNIS DEVRAY CONTACTED
COVID-19 FROM HIS ROOMMATE IN
FEBRUARY.
EXPERIENCE SHOWS HOW QUICKLY
GERMANY EMBRACED TRACING.
>> THE NAMES OF EVERY PERSON YOU
HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH.
>> Reporter:  YEGERMANY'S LOCKDOWN
DIDN'T COME AT ONCE.
THERE WAS A DECISION TO CLOSE
CARE HOMES TO VISITORS AND THIS
IS THE MANOR RESIDENCE, A HOME
TO 111 EDERLY PEOPLE.
IT'S A PART OF THERAPY
PROGRAMME.
WHEN THE FIRST CORONAVIRUS CASES
APPEARED IN GERMANY, WE FELT
VULNERABLE, SAYS THIS MANAGER
AND THIS WERE BUMPS ALONG THE
WAY, SHE SAYS, CONFUSION AT THE
TESTING FROM THE START AND
WORRIES ABOUT SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
BUT YENSEN HAS PRAISE FOR THE
GOVERNMENT AND IN, PARTICULAR,
THE CHANCELLOR, ANGELA MERKEL,
HER STEADY HANDS.
FROM THE BEGINNING, MERKEL WAS
CLEARLY POSITIONED, SHE SAYS,
TOOK IT SERIOUSLY AND SPOKE
DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE.
GERMANY ALREADY HAD MORE
INTENSIVE CARE UNITS THAN ITS EU
PARTNERS BUT MOVED TO INCREASE
CAPACITY AND BUY VENTILATORS.
PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERT SAYS ONE
ADVANTAGE FOR GERMANY SIMPLE BUT
OVERLOOKED WAS TIME AND A
DECISION NOT TO SQUANDER IT.
>> AS TO WHAT SHOULD BE THE
PICTURES FROM ITALY, I THINK
THAT WAS THE KEY AND THE
POPULATION WAS REALLY WILLING TO
FOLLOW THIS SUGGESTION.
>> Reporter:  GERMANY BEGAN
OPENING UP AGAIN AROUND
APRIL 20th, BUT IT IS FAR FROM
BACK TO NORMAL.
THE CAPITAL'S FAMOUS EASTSIDE
GALLERY ALONG THE STRIP OF THE
OLD BERLIN WALL WOULD NORMALLY
BE CROWDED BY TOURISTS.
IN DIFFERENT STATES ARE EMERGING
AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WORRIES
THOSE WHO FEAR ANOTHER SPIKE IN
INFECTIONS.
>> I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE A
SECOND WAVE AND WE HAVE TO BE
AWARE BUT I THINK WE MIGHT BE
MORE PREPARED FOR IT.
>> Reporter:  ALL OF THE MORE
REASON, THEN, TO EMBRACE OLD
PAST TIMES WHEN YOU CAN.
 ALBEIT

MARGARET EVANS, CBC NEWS,
LONDON.
>>> UP NEXT, A GO-PUB
INVESTIGATION. GO-PUBLIC
INVESTIGATION.
>> YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU CAN
WASH YOUR HANDS OF IT BECAUSE
YOU DIDN'T MAKE OUT
VI
VIOLENCE.
>> Adrienne:  MANY CANADIANS ARE
WILLING TO PAY MORE FOR BRAND
NAMES THEY TRUST.
THE ASSUMPTION IS THOSE
COMPANIES WILL STAND BY THEIR
PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY IF
SOMETHING GOES WRONG BUT IN THE
GO-PUBLIC INVESTIGATION, R R, HERE IS
THE STORY.
>> Reporter:  THIS NEW
COUNTERTOP OFTEN SITS UNUSED AS
THE OLD ONE WENT UP IN FLAMES.
>> A THICK DENSE SMOKE AND
FLAMES OUT OF THE CONTROL PANEL.
>> Reporter:  THAT FIRE CAUSED
HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGE
AND FIGURED IT WOULD BE COVERED
SINCE SHE WAS DEALING WAY A
BRAND NAME SHE TRUSTED AND SHE
WAS WRONG.
WHIRLPOOL REPLACED THE APPLIANCE
WHICH IT IS REQUIRED TO DO UNDER
WARRANTY BUT A CUSTOMER SERVICE
REP TOLD HER IN SHE WANTED
COMPENSATION FOR THE DAMAGE, SHE
WOULD ARE TO TRY TO GET IT FROM
A THIRD-PARTY COMPANY THAT MADE
THE OVEN IN CHINA.
>> YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU CAN
WASH YOUR HANDS OF IT BECAUSE
YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT?
IT DOESN'IT SAYS KITCHENAID.
>> Reporter:  SHE COULDN'T GET
ANSWERS WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE.
>> HOW IS IT CONFIDENT WHEN IT
WENT UP IN FLAMES IN MY KITCHEN?
>> WE REPLACED IT FOR YOU,
MA'AM.
>> THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE.
THE ISSUE IS WE HAD A LOT OF
SMOKE DAMAGE IN THIS HOUSE.
WE AS TWO SENIORS COULD HAVE
DIED IN THE FIRE.
>> BUT YOU DID NOT.
>> Reporter:  THERE ARE LAWS TO
PROTECT CONSUMERS BUT MANY
CONSUMER ORGANIZATIONS WON'T GET
INVOLVED IN CASES WHERE
APPLIANCES CAUSE DAMAGE LEAVING
CONSUMERS TO TAKE ON COMPANIES
ON THEIR OWN IN COURT FOR
COMPENSATION.
A RECENT STUDY FOUND 68% SAID IT
WAS DIFFICULT TO FILE COMPLAINTS
AND THAT MOST CONSUMERS SEE
COMPLAINTS HANDLERS AND ONLY
MARGINALLY EFFECTIVE.
>> THERE ARE SOME WHO ARE
PREPARED TO PLAY A GAME.
>> Reporter:  AFTER HEARING FROM
GO-PUBLIC, WHIRLPOOL PAID HER
$5,000 FOR THE DAMAGES, FAR MORE
THAN THE 600 SHE ASKED FOR.
THIS EXPERIENCE IS UNACCEPTABLE
AND WOULD BE ADDRESSED AND THE
CUSTOMER SAFETY IS A TOP
PRIORITY AND IT DIDN'T SAY WHAT
CAUSED THE FIRE, ONLY IT WAS AN
ISOLATED INCIDENT THAT'S BEEN
REPORTED TO HEALTH CANADA.

SINCLAIR WANTED TO USE THE SONG
AS A WAY TO RAISE MONEY FOR
STRUGGLING MUSICIANS, SO MANY
AFFECTED BY COVID-19, AND THAT
IS OUR "MOMENT."

LONG WAY TO HAVE THIS SONG
HEARD, BUT WE RERECORDED THAT
SONG BACK IN NOVEMBER.

>> IT'S A VERY OLD HIP SONG.
NEVER MADE IT ON A HIP RECORD
AND WE PERFORMED IT QUITE A BIT.
A BIG PART WAS ATTEMPTING TO
RAISE AWARENESS FOR THE
BENEVOLENT FUND AND LOCAL FOOD
BANK IN KINGSTON.

A HOME IN MY MIND.
>> SO THE LYRICALLY NAMED USE IS
SOMETHING THAT IS DESIGNED TO
