>> Andrew: GOOD EVENING, I'M 
ANDREW CHANG.
TONIGHT, A SCATHING INDICTMENT 
OF LONG-TERM CARE HOMES IN 
ONTARIO.
>> IT'S SHOCKING, AND I THINK 
IT'S NO SURPRISE WHY COVID HAS 
GONE THROUGH THE ENTIRE HOME 
NOW.
>> Andrew: WILL WHAT MILITARY 
PERSONNEL SAW LEAD TO REAL 
CHANGE?
>> Adrienne: I'M ADRIENNE 
ARSENAULT.
ALSO TONIGHT, A CRACKDOWN IN 
TORONTO'S TOW TRUCK INDUSTRY.
>> THE LEVEL OF GREED THAT LEADS
TO CRIMINALITY AND VIOLENCE. 
>> Adrienne: THE ALLEGATIONS GO 
WAY PAST RACING TO AN ACCIDENT.
>> Andrew: WORDS FROM ALBERTA'S 
ENERGY MINISTER COME UNDER 
SCRUTINY.
>> Adrienne: AND AS HOTELS AND 
RESTAURANTS GET SET TO REOPEN.
>> IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE
DON'T MAKE THE ENVIRONMENT FEEL 
LIKE YOU'RE GOING INTO A 
HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM.
>> Adrienne: WE'VE GOT A COUPLE 
OF TOURS LINED UP FOR YOU.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
*
>> Andrew: WE KNOW THE PICTURE 
OF DEATH FROM THIS PANDEMIC IS 
DOMINATED BY LONG-TERM CARE.
CBC NEWS HAS LINKED THREE OUT OF
EVERY FOUR COVID-19 FATALITIES, 
THAT'S NEARLY 5,000 LIVES, TO 
CANADIAN CARE HOMES.
THE SITUATION SO DIRE IN QUEBEC 
AND ONTARIO THE MILITARY CAME TO
HELP.
>> Adrienne: BUT NOW THOSE 
SOLDIERS HAVE DELIVERED A 
BATTLEFIELD REPORT FROM ONTARIO,
DETAILS SO TROUBLING THE PRIME 
MINISTER SAID IT TRIGGERED A 
TORRENT OF EMOTIONS.
>> Prime Minister Trudeau: OF 
ANGER, OF SADNESS, OF 
FRUSTRATION, OF GRIEF.
IT IS EXTREMELY TROUBLING.
>> Adrienne: THE REPORT COVERS 
FIVE HOMES WHERE SOLDIERS ON A 
MISSION OF CARE AND INFECTION 
CONTROL DESCRIBE A DEVASTATING 
-- DESCRIBED A DEVASTATING LACK 
OF HOPE.
THERE WORDS HAVE JOLTED TWO 
LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT TO 
ATTENTION AND PERHAPS ACTION.
DAVID COMMON LAYS OUT WHAT THE 
SOLDIERS SAW AND HOW THEIR 
INVOLVEMENT MADE COVID-19 NOT 
JUST A CRISIS BUT ALSO A 
SPOTLIGHT SHOWING SOME STARK 
FLAWS.
>> Reporter: AT LEAST 77 
RESIDENTS HAVE DIED INSIDE 
ORCHARD VILLA, MORE THAN ANY 
OTHER CARE FACILITY IN ONTARIO.
ONE OF FIVE HOMES THE MILITARY 
IS NOW SOUNDING A DIRE AND AWFUL
WARNING ABOUT.
FOR JUNE MORRISON, WHOSE DAD 
DIED INSIDE FROM COVID LAST 
MONTH, A MESSAGE TO THOSE WITH 
LOVED ONES STILL INSIDE.
>> YOU WANT TO SEE THE SUMMER 
WITH THEM, GET THEM OUT.
DON'T LEAVE THEM IN THERE.
>> Reporter: WHY DO YOU SAY 
THAT?
>> SHORTAGE OF STAFF, NEGLECT, 
ABUSE, MISTREATMENT.
IT'S ALL IN THE REPORT. 
>> Reporter: THAT REPORT IS 15 
PAGES OF DETAILED FAILURES.
AT HAWTHORNE, LITTLE TO NO 
DISINFECTION, FORCEFUL FEEDING 
CAUSING AUDIBLE CHOKING AND 
ASPIRATION, RESIDENTS CRYING FOR
HELP OVER TWO HOURS WITHOUT 
HELP.
AT ALTAMONT, ALLEGATIONS OF 
NEGLECT AND ABUSE BY STAFF, 
RESIDENTS BEDBOUND FOR SEVERAL 
WEEKS.
AND AT ORCHARD VILLA, 
COCKROACHES AND FLIES PRESENT, 
INAPPROPRIATE P.P.E. USE, STAFF 
FREQUENTLY FAILED TO FEED 
RESIDENTS SITTING UP, THEREBY 
RISKING CHOKING, EVEN AN 
INCIDENT THAT APPEARS TO HAVE 
CONTRIBUTED TO PATIENT DEATH.
>> Premier Doug Ford: THERE'S 
GOING TO BE JUSTICE.
THERE'S GOING TO BE 
ACCOUNTABILITY.
>> Reporter: THAT JUSTICE COULD 
INCLUDE THE POLICE AND CORONERS,
SAYS ONTARIO'S PREMIER, WHILE 
REJECTING THAT HIS GOVERNMENT'S 
DECISION TO END UNEXPECTED 
PROACTIVE INSPECTIONS HAD 
ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHERE CARE 
HOMES ARE NOW AT.
>> Premier Doug Ford: IT'S 
SHOCKING THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN 
HERE IN CANADA.
>> NO, WE SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED
BY ANY OF THIS. 
>> Reporter: LAWYER AND ELDER 
ADVOCATE JANE MEADUS SAYS THE 
PROVINCE SHOULD ALREADY BE AWARE
BECAUSE MANY OF THESE ISSUES 
EXISTED BEFORE COVID. 
>> I THINK WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS 
THAT REALLY TOTALLY OUTSIDE VIEW
OF A SYSTEM WHICH IS BROKEN, AND
THEY ARE ABLE TO POINT OUT IN A 
WAY THAT INDIVIDUAL RESIDENTS 
AND INDIVIDUALS IN HOMES HAVEN'T
BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT.
>> Reporter: TAKE, FOR INSTANCE,
THE MILITARY WARNING THAT 
HAWTHORNE PLACE ONLY HAD ONE 
REGISTERED NURSE FOR 200 
RESIDENTS.
THAT ALTAMONT OFTEN ONLY HAS ONE
PERSONAL SUPPORT WORKER TO DO 
EVERYTHING FOR 30 FRAIL 
RESIDENTS.
SHOCKING PERHAPS, BUT QUITE 
LEGAL. 
>> WHEN I SEE THINGS LIKE NOT 
SITTING PEOPLE UP TO FEED THEM, 
NOT WEARING P.P.E. PROPERLY, 
THAT'S SHOCKING.
AND I THINK IT'S NO SURPRISE WHY
COVID HAS GONE THROUGH THE 
ENTIRE HOME NOW.
>> Adrienne: SO, DAVID, DO YOU 
HAVE ANY SENSE THAT CONDITIONS 
AT ANY OF THE HOMES MIGHT HAVE 
CHANGED SINCE THE MILITARY 
STARTED DOCUMENTING THEM?
>> Reporter: WELL, IN THEIR OWN 
DOCUMENTS, THE MILITARY SAYS 
THAT TWO OF THE HOMES ARE SEEING
IMPROVEMENT.
ALL OF THE HOMES SAY THEY ARE 
WORKING TO BE BETTER NOW, BUT 
JUST TAKE EATONVILLE IN BEHIND 
ME HERE.
FORTY-TWO PEOPLE HAVE DIED 
INSIDE THAT FACILITY, AND THE 
MILITARY SAYS THAT AT TIMES 
THOSE WHO WERE POSITIVE FOR 
COVID-19 WERE ALLOWED TO WANDER 
AROUND THOSE WHO WERE NOT YET 
INFECTED, AN OBVIOUS CHALLENGE 
WHEN IT COMES TO CONTROLLING 
INFECTION.
ADRIENNE?
>> Adrienne: ALL RIGHT, SO MUCH 
MORE TO COME.
DAVID, THANK YOU.
>> Andrew: NOW, THE MISSION FOR 
THOSE SOLDIERS IN QUEBEC AND 
ONTARIO CARE HOMES IS DANGEROUS.
THE NUMBER OF THEM NOW INFECTED 
WITH COVID-19 HAS JUMPED TO 36.
THAT'S UP BY EIGHT FROM LESS 
THAN A WEEK AGO.
OF THE TOTAL, 14 HAVE BEEN 
INFECTED IN ONTARIO HOMES, 22 IN
QUEBEC, AND BOTH PROVINCES HAVE 
ASKED FOR THE DEPLOYMENT TO 
CONTINUE.
>>> NOW FEDERAL INVOLVEMENT IN 
CANADA'S LONG-TERM CARE HOMES 
MAY NOT END WITH THE MILITARY 
MISSION, NOR WITH THIS PANDEMIC,
FOR THAT MATTER.
DAVID COCHRANE SHOWS US HOW THIS
IS RIPPLING THROUGH OTTAWA.
>> Prime Minister Trudeau: IT IS
DEEPLY DISTURBING.
>> Reporter: THIS MAY BE AN 
ONTARIO SCANDAL, BUT IT'S ALSO A
NATIONAL SHAME.
>> Prime Minister Trudeau: WE 
NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB OF 
SUPPORTING OUR SENIORS IN 
LONG-TERM CARE RIGHT ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY, THROUGH THIS PANDEMIC 
AND BEYOND.
THIS IS A SITUATION THAT HAS 
GONE ON FOR A LONG TIME.
WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION AS A 
COUNTRY.
>> Reporter: EVEN THOUGH THE 
MILITARY IS DEPLOYED TO HOMES IN
QUEBEC AND ONTARIO, LONG-TERM 
CARE IS THE EXCLUSIVE 
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PROVINCES.
THOUSANDS OF FACILITIES ACROSS 
CANADA, A BLEND OF PRIVATE AND 
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
SOLDIERS BLEW THE WHISTLE ON 
FIVE HOMES, BUT THE PROBLEM 
DOESN'T END THERE.
>> Premier Doug Ford: I DON'T 
BELIEVE IT'S JUST FIVE.
WE HAVE TO DO A DEEP, DEEP DIVE 
INTO ALL THE HOMES, AND WE'RE 
GOING TO NEED THE RESOURCES TO 
DO THAT.
AND THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING FOR 
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO HELP 
US AND SUPPORT US.
>> Reporter: FEDERAL SUPPORT 
MEANS FEDERAL MONEY, AND LOTS OF
IT, TO FIX A SYSTEM CRITICS SAY 
IS PLAGUED BY LOW SALARIES, 
LIMITED TRAINING AND A HUNT FOR 
PROFIT.
>> WILL THE PRIME MINISTER AGREE
TODAY THAT IT IS TIME TO REMOVE 
PROFIT FROM THE CARE OF SENIORS?
>> Prime Minister Trudeau: WE 
WILL NOT BE TELLING THE 
PROVINCES WHAT THEY NEED TO DO 
IN THEIR AREAS OF JURISDICTION, 
BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE IS A 
NEED FOR SERIOUS CONVERSATIONS 
WITHIN ALL ORDERS OF GOVERNMENT.
>> Reporter: SERIOUS 
CONVERSATIONS TO OVERCOME 
JURISDICTIONAL AND FINANCIAL 
BARRIERS TO FIX THE SECTOR WHERE
THE VAST MAJORITY OF CANADA'S 
COVID-RELATED DEATHS HAVE 
OCCURRED.
>> I THINK CANADIANS EXPECT US 
TO BE THERE FOR OUR ELDERS, AND 
WE WILL WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH 
THE PROVINCES AND TERRITORIES TO
UNDERSTAND HOW BEST TO DO THAT.
>> Reporter: THE ONTARIO REPORT 
WILL UNDOUBTEDLY PUSH THOSE 
CONVERSATIONS FORWARD, AND A 
SECOND JOLT COULD BE ON THE WAY.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONFIRMS 
THE MILITARY IS PREPARING A 
SECOND REPORT OUTLINING ITS 
FINDINGS IN 25 LONG-TERM CARE 
HOMES IN QUEBEC.
DAVID COCHRANE, CBC NEWS, 
OTTAWA.
>> Adrienne: AND LOOKING AT NEW 
COVID INFECTIONS ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY, CENTRAL CANADA IS STILL
FAR OUT IN FRONT.
ONTARIO DID SEE A BIT OF A DIP 
TODAY, 287 NEW CASES COMPARED TO
404 YESTERDAY, BUT QUEBEC JUMPED
FROM 573 TO 614.
BOTH FIGURES MUCH HIGHER THAN 
EITHER PROVINCE WANTS TO SEE.
COMPLICATING THINGS NOW, AN 
EARLY HEAT WAVE.
TORONTO AND MONTREAL BOTH SAW 
TEMPERATURES ABOVE 30° WITH 
HUMIDITY, MAKING IT FEEL A LOT 
HOTTER.
NOT GOOD FOR VULNERABLE SENIORS 
AND A POTENTIAL CHALLENGE TO 
PHYSICAL DISTANCING PROTOCOLS AT
PARKS AND IN PUBLIC SPACES.
>>> MONTREAL HAS OFTEN STRUGGLED
DURING INTENSE HEAT WAVES.
SIXTY-SIX PEOPLE DIED DURING A 
BRUTAL STRETCH IN THE SUMMER OF 
2018, BUT KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE 
WITH COVID-19 AROUND, WELL, 
ALISON NORTHCOTT HAS THE 
DETAILS.
>> Reporter: THIS PATCH OF SHADE
IS A SMALL REPRIEVE FOR LISE 
BRUNETTE.
>> IT'S CLOSER TO 30° IN THE 
APARTMENT.
>> Reporter: SHE LIVES IN A 
PRIVATE SENIORS HOME AND HAS 
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS.
THE AIR CONDITIONER IN HER ROOM 
ISN'T INSTALLED YET, AND
COOLER COMMON AREAS ARE OFF 
LIMITS BECAUSE OF COVID-19.
>> WE USUALLY GO TO THE SHOPPING
CENTRE, BUT THEY ARE CLOSED TOO,
SO THERE'S NOTHING REALLY WE CAN
DO.
>> Reporter: AT THE LONG-TERM 
CARE HOME NEXT DOOR, MORE THAN 
50 PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM THE 
VIRUS.
RESIDENTS STILL CAN'T LEAVE 
THEIR ROOMS, BUT THE OWNER SAYS 
THINGS ARE NOW UNDER CONTROL, 
AND HE'S CONFIDENT THEY CAN DEAL
WITH THE ADDED RISK OF THE HEAT.
>> SOME CLIENT, THEY NEED SOME 
MORE FRESH AIR, SO WE ARE GOING 
TO INSTALL PORTABLE AIR 
CONDITIONING IN THEIR ROOM. 
>> Reporter: BUT NOT ALL 
LONG-TERM CARE RESIDENTS HAVE 
ACCESS TO AIR CONDITIONED ROOMS.
WHILE MOST PUBLIC HOMES HAVE 
COOL COMMON AREA, ADVOCATES SAY 
THAT'S NOT ENOUGH, PARTICULARLY 
NOW THAT SOME OF THOSE SPACES 
ARE CLOSED.
>> THIS IS INHUMANE, 
IRRESPECTFUL.
THESE ARE NOT ANIMALS THAT YOU 
PUT ALL TOGETHER IN A CAGE. 
>> Reporter: THE PROVINCE SAYS 
IT'S WORKING ON SOLUTIONS.
>> NOT ONLY FOR RESIDENTS AND 
VULNERABLE PEOPLE BUT ALSO FOR 
WORKING PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO WORK
IN VERY DIFFICULT CONDITIONS
WITH THEIR MASKS AND THEIR 
GLOVES AND THEIR BLOUSES.
>> Reporter: OUTSIDE THE HOMES, 
THE HEAT IS COMPLICATING THE 
COVID-19 RESPONSE.
THIS MOBILE TESTING SITE, CLOSED
FOR THE DAY OVER CONCERNS STAFF 
AND THOSE WAITING TO BE TESTED 
WOULD OVERHEAT.
WITH WATER FOUNTAINS, POOLS AND 
LIBRARIES CLOSED, COMMUNITY 
GROUPS SAY VULNERABLE PEOPLE 
HAVE FEW OPTIONS LEFT TO COOL 
OFF.
>> AS HARD AS IT NORMALLY IS TO 
GET AWAY FROM THE HEAT, RIGHT 
NOW IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE.
>> Reporter: THE CITY SAYS 
SPLASH PADS ARE GRADUALLY 
REOPENING AS PUBLIC HEALTH 
OFFICIALS FIGURE OUT WAYS TO 
DEAL WITH A DOUBLE RISK, HIGH 
TEMPERATURES ON TOP OF A
PANDEMIC.
ALISON NORTHCOTT, CBC NEWS, 
MONTREAL.
>> Adrienne: AND THE HEAT IS 
ALSO PRESENTING MAJOR CHALLENGES
IN TORONTO WITH CITY-RUN 
RECREATIONAL FACILITIES 
OFF-LINE, THERE ARE FEW PLACES 
FOR PEOPLE TO GO TO JUST COOL 
DOWN, TO SAY NOTHING OF TRYING 
TO KEEP THEIR DISTANCE.
TASHAUNA REID TAKES A CLOSER 
LOOK.
>> WE JUST REALLY WANTED TO GET 
OUT AND HE WANTED TO PLAY IN THE
WATER AND GET COOLED OFF. 
>> Reporter: NICOLE ETHERINGTON 
AND HER SON LOUIS CAME HERE TO 
GET OUT OF THEIR SMALL 
APARTMENT.
THEIR REGULAR SUMMER FAVOURITES,
NOT AN OPTION. 
>> WE'RE REALLY GOING TO MISS 
THE WATER, THE SPLASH PAD AND 
THE WADING POOLS.
>> Reporter: CITY BEACHES ARE 
OPENED, BUT PUBLIC SWIMMING 
POOLS, LIBRARIES AND SHOPPING 
MALLS REMAIN CLOSED AS 
TEMPERATURES SOARED INTO THE MID
30S THIS WEEK.
SO TODAY, THE CITY MOVED TO OPEN
SIX EMERGENCY COOLING CENTRES 
WITH SPACE FOR 580 PEOPLE.
>> THESE SIX LOCATIONS WERE 
LOCATIONS THAT WE COULD QUICKLY 
OPEN UP.
JUST TWO WEEKS AGO IT WAS 
SNOWING IN TORONTO, SO THINGS 
HAVE MOVED -- MOVING VERY, VERY 
QUICKLY.
>> Reporter: AT THE CENTRES, 
PEOPLE WILL BE ASKED ABOUT 
SYMPTOMS AND THEIR TRAVEL 
HISTORY.
ANYONE WITH COVID-19 SYMPTOMS 
WILL GET A MASK AND AN ALTERNATE
ROOM TO COOL OFF IN.
SEATS ARE SPACED OUT ACCORDING 
TO PHYSICAL DISTANCING 
GUIDELINES.
THE CITY SAYS MORE CENTRES ARE 
ON THE WAY.
>> IT IS A CHALLENGE BECAUSE, 
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF FACILITIES 
ARE CLOSED, AND SO WHAT CAN WE 
DO TO REOPEN THEM AND MAKE THEM 
SAFE FOR PEOPLE TO COME IN?
>> Reporter: THE HEAT IS JUST 
ONE MORE THREAT FOR VULNERABLE 
COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING PEOPLE 
WHO LIVE OUTSIDE.
>> MARGINALIZED PEOPLE, PEOPLE 
WHO ARE ALREADY DISADVANTAGED, 
PEOPLE WHO ARE 
DISPROPORTIONATELY HARMED BY 
COVID-19 ARE ALSO A LOT OF THE 
SAME PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO BE 
HARMED BY HEAT WAVES.
>> Reporter: HEALTH EXPERTS SAY 
FOR PEOPLE ISOLATING AT HOME IN 
THE HEAT TO KEEP BLINDS CLOSED, 
USE FANS, AND STAY HYDRATED.
TASHAUNA REID, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO.
>> Andrew: BIG CITIES ARE WHERE
MOST OF COVID-19 CASES CAN BE 
FOUND, ACCORDING TO DATA 
ANALYZED BY CBC NEWS.
THERE ARE ABOUT 4100 ACTIVE 
CASES RIGHT NOW IN THE PROVINCE.
MOST OF THEM ARE IN THE GREATER 
TORONTO AREA, AND ADD IN THE 
CASES FROM OTTAWA, WINDSOR-ESSEX
AND HAMILTON, AND YOU SEE THAT 
90% ARE IN ONTARIO'S BIGGEST 
CITIES AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
NOW OFFICIALS KNOW EXACTLY WHERE
ALL OF THOSE CASES ARE, RIGHT 
DOWN TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD.
BUT AS THE CBC'S VIK ADHOPIA 
TELLS US, THEY ARE NOT SHARING 
THAT INFORMATION WITH THE 
PUBLIC.
>> Reporter: BRAMPTON IS JUST 
ONE OF THE TORONTO-AREA 
COMMUNITIES SEEING A TROUBLING 
SURGE OF NEW COVID CASES IN SOME
NEIGHBOURHOODS.
BUT WHICH NEIGHBOURHOODS 
SPECIFICALLY, ONTARIO'S PREMIER 
REFUSES TO SAY.
>> Premier Doug Ford: I DON'T 
WANT TO STIGMATIZE ONE CERTAIN, 
YOU KNOW, TEN STREETS, BUT 
PEOPLE KNOW WHERE THE HOTSPOTS 
ARE.
>> Reporter: INDEED, BRAMPTON'S 
MEDICAL OFFICER DOES, BUT IS 
ALSO STAYING MUM.
>> THERE'S A CHANCE THAT SOME 
PEOPLE MAY SORT OF SEE IT AS, 
WELL, THAT AREA HAS A LOT OF 
COVID, BUT WE DON'T HAVE COVID 
IN MY NEIGHBOURHOOD, AND THAT'S 
NOT THE MESSAGE WE WANT TO BE 
DELIVERING.
WE WANT TO BE DELIVERING THAT, 
YOU KNOW, IT CIRCULATES AMONGST 
THE COMMUNITY.
IT CIRCULATES WITH PEOPLE, AND 
THERE AREN'T NECESSARILY, YOU 
KNOW, INVISIBLE WALLS BETWEEN 
DIFFERENT NEIGHBOURHOODS.
>> Reporter: THE GREATER TORONTO
AREA HAS LESS THAN HALF OF 
ONTARIO'S POPULATION BUT MORE 
THAN THREE QUARTERS OF THE 
PROVINCE'S CASES.
>> I THINK WE NEED TO BE 
TRANSPARENT THROUGH ALL OF THIS.
IT'S BRAND NEW, AND PEOPLE ARE 
DYING, SO WE NEED TO BE 
TRANSPARENT TO TRY AND SAVE AS 
MANY LIVES AS POSSIBLE. 
>> Reporter: SCIENTISTS HAVE 
ACCESS TO THAT LOCATION DATA TO 
FIND OUT WHO'S MOST TESTING 
POSITIVE FOR COVID-19 IN THE 
TORONTO AREA.
A DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBER DO 
LIVE IN LOWER-INCOME 
NEIGHBOURHOODS, BUT THE RESEARCH
FOUND THE MAIN RISK FACTORS WERE
NOT WHERE THEY LIVED BUT THEIR 
JOBS AND HOW MANY PEOPLE THEY 
LIVE WITH.
STILL, TAIWAN AND SOUTH KOREA 
HAVE BOTH SHARED LOCATION 
OUTBREAK DATA WITH THE PUBLIC AS
A MEANS OF CONTAINING THE 
PANDEMIC.
>> MAYBE IT'S A TOOL WE CAN 
DEPLOY, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE 
IT MANAGED IN A SENSITIVE 
MANNER.
STIGMATIZATION IS A REAL THING.
WE HAVE TO HANDLE THIS 
DELICATELY.
SO SIMPLY DUMPING INFORMATION, 
WHILE I WANT IT AS A RESEARCHER,
I DO UNDERSTAND THERE ARE SOME 
LARGER SOCIETAL CONCERNS ABOUT 
IT. 
>> Reporter: THE ONTARIO 
GOVERNMENT INSISTS PUBLIC HEALTH
DEPARTMENTS ARE ALREADY WORKING 
IN OUTBREAK HOTSPOTS, INCREASING
TESTING AND CONTACT TRACING.
CRITICAL FOR A PROVINCE THAT'S 
STILL FALLING SHORT OF ITS 
TESTING TARGET.
VIK ADHOPIA, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: ALBERTA'S NDP 
OPPOSITION SAYS THE PROVINCE IS 
EXPLOITING THE PANDEMIC FOR THE 
SAKE OF PIPELINE POLITICS.
THAT IS A REFERENCE TO THE 
ENERGY MINISTER'S RECENT COMMENT
THAT PHYSICAL DISTANCING RULES 
WILL LIMIT PROTESTS.
HERE'S RAFFY BOUDJIKANIAN WITH 
THE STORY THAT SPREAD PAST 
CANADA'S BORDERS.
>> -- IF YOU AIN'T DOING NOTHING
ABOUT IT, I WILL!
>> YOU ARE BEING VERY AGGRESSIVE
AND VIOLENT. 
>> Reporter: THIS WAS THE LAST 
ANTI-PIPELINE PROTEST IN 
EDMONTON.
TENSE, YET BRIEF.
>> MAKING A MESS OF OUR COUNTRY.
>> Reporter: BUT THE PROVINCE'S 
ENERGY MINISTER HAD 
DEMONSTRATORS ON HER MIND LAST 
WEEK.
>> THERE'S ENOUGH -- ALL OVER 
THE PLACE, ACROSS CANADA, AND 
THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE -- THEY ARE
VERY MUCH ON THE FRINGE.
>> Reporter: SONIA SAVAGE WAS 
DISCUSSING THE TRANS MOUNTAIN 
PIPELINE ON AN INDUSTRY PODCAST.
>> PLAN TO BE BUILDING A 
PIPELINE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HAVE 
PROTESTS OF MORE THAN 15 PEOPLE,
SO LET'S GET IT BUILT.
LET'S GET IT BUILT.
>> Reporter: IN FACT, THE 
COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS HERE NOW 
ALLOW CROWDS OF 50 TO GATHER, 
BUT HER REMARKS HAVE DRAWN 
CRITICISM IN THIS COUNTRY.
>> WHAT I AM SURPRISED ABOUT WAS
THE FACT THAT THEY WOULD BE SO 
OPENED AND SO BLATANT ABOUT 
MAKING SUCH BOLD COMMENTS.
>> Reporter: AND OVERSEAS.
TODAY, GRETA THUNBERG 
SARCASTICALLY THANKED THE 
MINISTER FOR HER HONESTY.
>> THE REALITY IS YOU DON'T HAVE
A LUXURY ANYMORE OF SPEAKING TO 
ONE AUDIENCE. 
>> Reporter: THIS CRISIS 
MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST SAYS 
SAVAGE MAY HAVE FOUND SYMPATHY 
WITH AN OIL AND GAS CROWD BUT 
SHOULD HAVE GEARED HER MESSAGE 
TO BUILD BRIDGES. 
>> NEVER CLOSE DOORS.
OPEN THOSE DOORS TO OTHER 
CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER PARTS 
OF CANADA AND AROUND THE WORLD. 
>> Reporter: FOR NOW, AT LEAST, 
THE PROVINCE IS UNAPOLOGETIC. 
>> WE WILL CONTINUE AS A 
GOVERNMENT TO DO EVERYTHING 
POSSIBLE TO GET OUR PRODUCT TO 
MARKET.
>> Reporter: NIXON SAYS NOBODY'S
BLOCKING ANYONE'S RIGHT TO 
PROTEST.
MEANWHILE, THE GOVERNMENT STILL 
INTENDS TO LEGISLATE A BILL THAT
WOULD DRASTICALLY INCREASE FINES
FOR THOSE BLOCKING PIPELINES AND
RAILWAYS, AND EVEN SEND THEM TO 
JAIL.
RAFFY BOUDJIKANIAN, CBC NEWS, 
EDMONTON.
>> Andrew: A DAYLIGHT SHOOTING 
IN DOWNTOWN TORONTO LEFT A YOUNG
MAN DEAD TODAY AND SENT TWO 
OTHERS TO HOSPITAL WITH SERIOUS 
INJURIES.
HERE'S ELLEN MAURO WITH WHAT WE 
KNOW SO FAR.
>> THERE'S A SHOE OF SOMEBODY.
>> Reporter: FROM ABOVE, THE 
REMNANTS OF A DEADLY SHOOTING 
POLICE SAY WAS TARGETED.
KILLING A 21-YEAR-OLD MAN AND 
LEAVING A 15-YEAR-OLD BOY AND A 
27-YEAR-OLD WOMAN WITH SERIOUS 
INJURIES.
>> I -- BUT THEN GOT SHOT IN THE
SIDE AND WAS BLEEDING.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS A 
RICOCHET OR A DIRECT SHOT.
I CAN'T TELL. 
>> Reporter: THAT WOMAN BELIEVED
TO BE A BYSTANDER, NOT A TARGET.
>> AND BECAUSE OF THE SUSPECT 
JUST SHOOTING RANDOMLY, AN 
INNOCENT PERSON WAS CAUGHT IN 
THAT CROSS-FIRE. 
>> Reporter: POLICE SAY THE 
SHOOTER WAITED IN A VEHICLE FOR 
ABOUT 40 MINUTES UNTIL THEY SAW 
THE VICTIM.
MORE THAN ONE PERSON WAS 
INVOLVED, ACCORDING TO POLICE, 
INCLUDING THE DRIVER OF THE 
VEHICLE AND THE SHOOTER, WHO GOT
OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TO 
OPEN FIRE.
POLICE DESCRIBE THE SHOOTING AS 
BRAZEN.
IT HAPPENED LATE THIS AFTERNOON,
AROUND 4:00 P.M. IN BROAD 
DAYLIGHT NEAR WHAT IS USUALLY A 
VERY BUSY INTERSECTION IN 
DOWNTOWN TORONTO.
THAT INTERSECTION IN THE HEART 
OF TORONTO'S ENTERTAINMENT 
DISTRICT.
>> EVEN WITH COVID, STILL A LOT 
OF PEOPLE THAT WERE HERE, AS YOU
CAN SEE IT'S A WARM DAY, SO A 
LOT OF PEOPLE ARE OUT.
>> Reporter: 75 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
KILLED OR INJURED IN GUN CRIME 
IN TORONTO THIS YEAR.
IN THIS SHOOTING, POLICE SAY THE
BUSY LOCATION MEANS MORE 
EVIDENCE FOR INVESTIGATORS.
>> WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE 
TO SOLVE THIS BASED ON LOCATION 
AND BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF 
EVIDENCE WE'RE GETTING AT THE 
EARLY STAGES.
>> Reporter: BUT THAT CONFIDENCE
MAY DO LITTLE TO SETTLE NERVES 
IN THE CENTRE OF CANADA'S 
BIGGEST CITY.
ELLEN MAURO, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: POLICE AROUND 
TORONTO HAVE ALSO PULLED BACK 
THE CURTAIN ON ORGANIZED CRIME 
IN THE TOW TRUCK INDUSTRY, 
SEIZING WEAPONS THAT RANGED FROM
BRASS KNUCKLES TO A MACHINE GUN.
WE SEE HOW A TURF WAR LED TO 
MASSIVE FRAUD THAT COSTS EVERY 
DRIVER.
>> Reporter: TOW TRUCK DRIVERS 
SHOT, FOUR OF THEM FATALLY.
VEHICLES TORCHED.
TODAY POLICE REVEALED FOUR 
ORGANIZED CRIME GROUPS ARE 
WREAKING HAVOC ON THE 
TORONTO-AREA TOWING SCENE.
>> ORGANIZED CRIME BEGINS WITH 
AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MONEY AND
A LEVEL OF GREED THAT LEADS TO 
CRIMINALITY AND VIOLENCE.
THE TOWING INDUSTRY AND ITS LACK
OF REGULATIONS HAVE BRED EXACTLY
THAT ENVIRONMENT.
>> Reporter: POLICE SAY THEY'VE 
MADE 20 ARRESTS IN WHAT THEY 
CALL PROJECT PLATINUM AND SEIZED
11 TOW TRUCKS, AS WELL AS DOZENS
OF WEAPONS.
BUT WHAT STARTED AS A FIGHT FOR 
TURF IN TOWING TRANSFORMED INTO 
FRAUD, POLICE SAY, WHICH WAS 
MUCH MORE PROFITABLE.
>> THEY STAGED COLLISIONS USING 
DRIVERS THEY RECRUITED.
THEY DELIBERATELY CAUSED 
COLLISIONS ON ROADWAYS AND IN 
PARKING LOTS ACROSS THE G.T.A.
>> Reporter: THE CRASHES 
INVOLVED HIGH-END VEHICLES.
SUSPECTS ARE ACCUSED OF 
CONSPIRING WITH BODY SHOPS AND 
PHYSIOTHERAPISTS TO INFLATE 
INJURY AND INSURANCE CLAIMS, 
PUSHING UP PREMIUMS FOR THE REST
OF ONTARIO DRIVERS.
WHEN AN INSURANCE COMPANY HIRED 
A LAWYER TO INVESTIGATE, HIS 
OFFICE WAS TORCHED.
JOEY GAGNE SAYS HE STARTED TO 
SEE PROBLEMS ABOUT THREE YEARS 
AGO.
>> THE REST WILL HELP WITH THE 
VIOLENCE.
I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S A VERY TINY
GROUP OF OPERATORS THAT, YOU 
KNOW, HAVE GOTTEN ESCALATED OR 
ELEVATED THE VIOLENCE. 
>> Reporter: BOTH GAGNE AND 
POLICE AGREE A LACK OF OVERSIGHT
IN THE INDUSTRY HAS LED TO A 
WILD WEST SHOWDOWN ON 
TORONTO-AREA HIGHWAYS.
UNLIKE QUEBEC, ONTARIO'S TOWING 
INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY UNREGULATED.
OVERSIGHT IS RARE.
AND THAT CREATES A LOT OF HEAVY 
LIFTING FOR POLICE, THEY SAY.
>> WE COULD BE SEEING AN 
ADDITIONAL 30 PLUS ARRESTS OR 
MORE.
>> Reporter: IN THE MEANTIME, 
THEY HOPE THESE LATEST ARRESTS 
WILL REDUCE THE CHAOS.
JOHN LANCASTER, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: A SMALL 
NEWFOUNDLAND COMMUNITY IS 
MOURNING TONIGHT AFTER A FISHING
ACCIDENT CLAIMED THE LIVES OF 
THREE MEN WITH A FOURTH STILL 
MISSING OFF THE ISLAND'S SOUTH 
COAST.
>> WE'RE GOING TO KEEP SEARCHING
WITH EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE 
AVAILABLE UNTIL WE HAVE 
EXHAUSTED ALL MEANS THAT WE 
HAVE.
>> Adrienne: ALL FOUR ARE FROM 
THE CLOSE-KNIT TOWN OF 
ST. LAWRENCE.
THEY WERE REPORTED MISSING AFTER
FAILING TO RETURN FROM A CRAB 
FISHING TRIP LAST NIGHT.
THEY INCLUDE A FATHER, A SON, A 
NEPHEW.
THE FOURTH IS A CLOSE FAMILY 
FRIEND.
>> THEY WERE FAMILY MEN.
THEY WERE PEOPLE WHO YOU COULD 
SEE IN THE COMMUNITY WITH THEIR 
CHILDREN AND WITH THEIR 
FAMILIES, PARTICIPATING IN THE 
VARIOUS THINGS THAT WENT ON IN 
THE TOWN.
THIS WAS A SEVERE BLOW TO THE 
COMMUNITY TODAY.
>> Adrienne: MULTIPLE FISHING 
BOATS, ALONG WITH THE COAST 
GUARD VESSEL AND TWO AIRCRAFT, 
ARE SAID TO BE LOOKING FOR THE 
MISSING MAN.
>> Andrew: IN THE U.S., 
RACE-RELATED INCIDENTS IN TWO 
CITIES HAVE REVEALED NEW 
EXAMPLES OF AN OLD TRUTH, WHAT 
IT'S LIKE TO BE BLACK IN 
AMERICA.
AS STEVEN D'SOUZA TELLS US, THE 
POLICE WERE DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN
ONE, VERY INDIRECTLY IN THE 
OTHER. 
>> I CANNOT BREATHE.
>> Reporter: IT IS DIFFICULT TO 
WATCH AND TRAGICALLY FAMILIAR.
MINNEAPOLIS POLICE SAY THE MAN 
ON THE GROUND, GEORGE FLOYD, 
MATCHED THE DESCRIPTION OF A 
SUSPECT IN A FORGERY CASE.
THEY SAY HE RESISTED ARREST.
THIS WAS AN ARREST MONDAY NIGHT.
AFTER AT LEAST EIGHT MINUTES 
WITH THE OFFICER'S KNEE ON HIS 
NECK, PARAMEDICS ARRIVED.
HE DIED LATER IN HOSPITAL.
>> WHAT WE SAW WAS A BLACK MAN 
WHO WAS -- THEY DIDN'T USE ROPE.
HE USED HIS KNEE.
>> Reporter: TODAY THE FOUR 
OFFICERS INVOLVED WERE FIRED.
>> BEING BLACK IN AMERICA SHOULD
NOT BE A DEATH SENTENCE.
>> Reporter: BUT TOO OFTEN MANY 
LIVE WITH THAT FEAR.
THE DEATH MIRRORS THAT OF ERIC 
GARNER WHO UTTERED THOSE SAME 
WORDS, I CAN'T BREATHE. 
>> I CAN'T BREATHE.
>> Reporter: THAT PAINFUL 
HISTORY HUNG OVER ANOTHER 
INTERACTION THAT'S GAINED 
NATIONAL ATTENTION.
THIS WOMAN CALLED 911 AFTER AN 
AFRICAN AMERICAN MAN ASKED HER 
TO LEASH HER DOG.
>> I'M BEING THREATENED BY A 
MAN.
PLEASE SEND THE COPS 
IMMEDIATELY.
>> Reporter: HE SAYS HE RECORDED
THE INCIDENT TO SHOW HE WASN'T 
INTIMIDATED. 
>> WE LIVE IN AN AGE WHERE BLACK
MEN ARE CHOPPED, GUNNED DOWN 
BECAUSE OF THE PRESUMPTIONS THAT
PEOPLE MAKE.
>> Reporter: HAILEY COOPER, NO 
RELATION, WAS FIRED FROM HER 
JOB, HAD TO GIVE UP HER DOG AND 
APOLOGIZE.
>> THE POLICE I THINK OF THEM AS
A PROTECTION AGENCY, AND 
UNFORTUNATELY THIS HAS CAUSED ME
TO REALIZE THAT THERE ARE SO 
MANY PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY THAT
DON'T HAVE THAT LUXURY.
>> Reporter: BUT SOME EXPERTS 
SAY SHE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THE 
POTENTIALLY DEADLY IMPLICATIONS 
OF HER THREAT.
>> SHE OBVIOUSLY KNOWS THAT 
BLACK MEN HAVE A CONTENTIOUS 
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE POLICE.
>> Reporter: IN CENTRAL PARK, 
POLICE ARRIVED AFTER BOTH 
PARTIES LEFT.
NO ARRESTS OR CHARGES.
TONIGHT THE ANGER OVER GEORGE 
FLOYD'S DEATH OIL BOILED OVER.
POLICE BROKE IT UP WITH TEAR GAS
AND PEPPER SPRAY.
PRO-TETHERS WERE CHANTING THE 
FAMILIAR REFRAIN, I CAN'T 
BREATHE.
STEVEN D'SOUZA, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: THE NHL SAYS IT HAS
A NEW GAME PLAN TO RETURN TO THE
ICE.
>> WE WILL RESUME PLAY AND 
CONDUCT THE 2020 STANLEY CUP 
PLAYOFFS IN TWO HUB CITIES.
>> Adrienne: NEXT ON "THE 
NATIONAL," WHAT IT MEANS FOR 
CANADIAN TEAMS VYING FOR THE 
STANLEY CUP, AND THE KEY DETAILS
STILL MISSING.
>> Andrew: INSIDE A RESTAURANT 
GETTING READY TO REOPEN, THAT 
TRICKY TIGHT ROPE OF OFFERING A 
PLEASANT EXPERIENCE THAT'S ALSO 
SAFE. 
>> IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE
DON'T MAKE THE ENVIRONMENT FEEL 
LIKE YOU'RE GOING INTO A 
HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM.
>> Adrienne: AND CANADIAN HOTELS
SAY THEY ARE READY, BUT ARE THE 
GUESTS READY TO BOOK?
>> I SEE TUMBLEWEEDS FLOWING 
THROUGH THE LOBBY.
IT'S QUIET.
IT'S A LITTLE EERIE, I GUESS, TO
SEE THE HOTEL EMPTY LIKE THIS.
>> Adrienne: WE'RE BACK IN TWO.
>> Adrienne: WELCOME BACK.
WELL, THERE'S SOME NEWS FOR 
ACTION STARVED HOCKEY FANS 
TONIGHT.
NHL COMMISSIONER GARY BETTMAN 
HAS SHARED NEW DETAILS ON A 
RETURN TO PLAY FORMAT FOR THE 
REST OF THE SEASON, ASSUMING 
THERE IS A REST OF THE SEASON.
AND THAT IS FAR FROM GUARANTEED.
JAMIE STRASHIN HAS MORE DETAILS,
AND A BIT OF A SPOILER ALERT, 
DON'T BOOK ANY NIGHTS OFF JUST 
YET.
>> Reporter: COULD HUNDREDS OF 
NHLERS SOON ARRIVE IN VANCOUVER 
TO BEGIN A TRUNCATED RUN AT THE 
STANLEY CUP?
THE LEAGUE INSISTS IT'S 
POSSIBLE.
>> WE ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE OUR
FANS ARE TELLING US IN 
OVERWHELMING NUMBERS THAT THEY 
WANT US TO COMPLETE THE SEASON, 
IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.
>> Reporter: BETTMAN TODAY 
DECLARED THE REGULAR SEASON OVER
WITH 24 TEAMS, INCLUDING SIX 
FROM CANADA, PROCEEDING DIRECTLY
TO A PLAYOFF ROUND TO BE PLAYED 
IN TWO HUB CITIES WITHOUT FANS.
TORONTO, EDMONTON AND VANCOUVER 
ARE CANDIDATES.
>> I'D WATCH ANYTHING AT THIS 
POINT.
>> I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO 
WORK.
>> Reporter: REALLY?
>> I THINK THEY SHOULD JUST 
CANCEL THE SEASON. 
>> SOMETHING TO DO FROM HOME. 
>> Reporter: WITH HUNDREDS OF 
MILLIONS IN POTENTIAL LOST 
REVENUE, THE NHL HAS BEEN 
FLOATING RETURN-TO-PLAY 
SCENARIOS FOR WEEKS. 
>> HERE'S MAYBE A CHANCE TO KIND
OF REMIND EVERYBODY THAT THE NHL
IS STILL LURKING.
>> Reporter: CONCORDIA SPORTS 
ECONOMIST MOSHE LANDER SAYS THE 
LEAGUE SHOULD SIMPLY CUT ITS 
LOSSES. 
>> THE RISKS OF ANYTHING THAT 
COULD GO WRONG IN TERMS OF 
SPREADING THIS VIRUS FURTHER, 
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
JUST CALL THE SEASON.
EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS IT.
THESE ARE DEEP-POCKETED OWNERS. 
>> Reporter: THE LEAGUE SAYS 
IT'S NOT RUSHING THINGS.
PLAYERS WOULDN'T BEGIN TRAINING 
CAMP UNTIL AT LEAST JULY 1. 
>> WE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL
WE ARE ASSURED BY MEDICAL 
PROFESSIONALS AND THE RELEVANT 
GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES THAT IT 
IS SAFE AND PRUDENT.
>> Reporter: THERE ARE 
LOGISTICAL QUESTIONS AROUND 
TESTING AND BORDER TRAVEL.
THE NHL IS ALREADY BALKING AT 
THE PRACTICALITY OF USING
CANADIAN CITIES IF THE CURRENT 
14-DAY QUARANTINE REMAINS IN 
PLACE.
JAMIE STRASHIN, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO.
>> Andrew: THE NHL IS GOING TO 
LOOK AWFULLY DIFFERENT WHEN IT 
RE-STARTS, AND THAT'S BEEN TRUE 
FOR JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT'S
REOPENED.
TO HELP YOU NAVIGATE OUR SHARED 
NEW NORMAL, A COUPLE TIMES A 
WEEK WE WILL SHOW YOU WHAT TO 
EXPECT.
TONIGHT WE HIT THE LINKS.
*
AS CANADA REOPENS FOR BUSINESS, 
GOLF IS AMONG THE FIRST 
RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES GETTING 
BACK UNDER WAY.
WHY IS THAT?
AND WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT?
>> IT'S OUTDOORS.
YOU CAN EASILY PRACTICE PHYSICAL
DISTANCING, AND THERE'S VERY FEW
HIGH-CONTACT SURFACES THAT 
PEOPLE MAY UNINTENTIONALLY 
CONTAMINATE THEMSELVES ON.
>> Andrew: MAKES SENSE WHEN YOU 
CONSIDER HOW WIDE OPEN THINGS 
ARE, BUT IF YOU GO, THE FIRST 
CHANGE HAPPENS BEFORE YOU HIT A 
SINGLE BALL.
CLUBHOUSES AND PRO SHOPS WILL 
HAVE LIMITED ACCESS OR MAY BE 
OFF-LIMITS ALL TOGETHER.
>> WE ARE ASKING OUR GOLFERS TO 
STAY IN YOUR CAR.  
20 MINUTES PRIOR TO YOUR TEE 
TIMES YOU'LL HEAR YOUR NAME FROM
THE STARTER.
>> Andrew: BUT ONCE YOU'RE READY
TO GO, TWO GOLDEN RULES.
THE FIRST, PHYSICAL DISTANCING.
YOUR LOCAL COURSE MAY RESTRICT 
HOW BIG YOUR GROUP CAN BE, ALSO 
HOW MANY GOLFERS CAN BE ON THE 
COURSE AT ANY GIVEN TIME.
THE SECOND RULE, TOUCH AS FEW 
THINGS AS POSSIBLE.
>> THIS WILL BE A TOUCHLESS 
EXPERIENCE.
FLAG STICKS WILL BE TOUCHLESS.
NO RAKES IN THE BUNKERS, AND NO 
BALL WASHING STATIONS. 
>> Andrew: YOU MIGHT EVEN FIND 
THAT YOUR GOLF COURSE HAS 
ADAPTED THE HOLE CUP SO THE BALL
DOESN'T GO IN AS FAR, OR MAY NOT
GO IN AT ALL.
ON THE USE OF PULL CARTS OR 
MOTORIZED GOLF CARTS, STAFF 
SHOULD BE DISINFECTING THEM 
AFTER EACH USE BUT EVEN STILL, 
IF YOU TOUCH THINGS, DON'T TOUCH
YOUR FACE.
THAT'S HOW YOU GET SICK.
AND ON THAT NOTE, IF YOU'RE 
USING A GOLF CLUB, TREAT THIS 
THE SAME WAY YOU TREAT YOUR 
HANDS.
WASH IT WHEN YOU GET HOME, BUT 
ULTIMATELY ENJOY THE GAME AND 
ENJOY THE FRESH AIR. 
>> I THINK YOU CAN HAVE A 
WONDERFUL TIME OUTSIDE PLAYING 
GOLF, AND THIS WOULD BE PROBABLY
THE LOWEST OF LOW-RISK 
ACTIVITIES FOR GETTING COVID-19.
>> Adrienne: YOU CAN ALSO EXPECT
SOME CHANGES THE NEXT TIME YOU 
CHECK INTO A HOTEL IN CANADA.
THE INDUSTRY SAYS IT'S READY TO 
WELCOME BACK GUESTS SAFELY FOR A
STAY.
WE GET AN INSIDE LOOK AHEAD ON 
"THE NATIONAL."
>> Andrew: AND WITH MANY 
RESTAURANTS REOPENING ACROSS THE
COUNTRY, BOY, DO YOU EVER HAVE 
QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, INCLUDING 
THIS ONE HERE: WHAT'S THE RISK 
OF A COOK SNEEZING ON YOUR FOOD,
THEN YOU EAT IT AND THEN YOU GET
SICK.
THE ANSWER AFTER THIS.
>> MY NAME IS ANNA BOYD AND I'M 
A BARISTA AT STARBUCKS IN 
VANCOUVER.
OUR STORES JUST REOPENED, AND 
THAT HAS ME FEELING A BIT 
NERVOUS BEING IN ANY PLACE 
OUTSIDE OF MY HOME.
IT'S GOT ME ANXIOUS, BUT THAT'S 
WHERE WE ARE NOW.
LIFE IN THE NEW NORMAL HAS BEEN 
BIZARRE.
NOW WHEN I GO INTO WORK AND I 
START MY SHIFT, I HAVE TO GET MY
TEMPERATURE READ.
WE HAVE A DIGITAL SURVEY THAT WE
HAVE TO ANSWER EVERY SHIFT.
ONCE YOU ENTER THE STORE, YOU 
HAVE TO HAVE A MASK.
WE GET A NEW ONE EACH SHIFT.
I DID POCKET ONE, AND I'M SAVING
IT SO THAT I CAN SAY THIS IS MY 
MASK FOR WHEN WE ALL HAD TO RUN 
AND HIDE FROM COVID.
THAT'S LIFE NOW, IS ALL THE 
STORIES WE'RE GOING TO TELL IN A
FEW YEARS.
*
>> Andrew: WELCOME BACK.
RESTAURANTS CERTAINLY AMONG ALL 
THOSE THINGS SLOWLY REOPENING IN
PARTS OF THIS COUNTRY, WHICH HAS
LED TO A FAIR NUMBER OF 
QUESTIONS FROM YOU ABOUT THAT.
SO JOINING US NOW TO ANSWER 
THOSE QUESTIONS, INFECTIOUS 
DISEASES SPECIALIST DR. ISAAC 
BOGOCH, HELLO TO YOU, SIR, THIS 
FIRST QUESTION WE'VE GOTTEN AN 
AWFUL LOT, AND I WONDER MYSELF, 
WHAT'S THE RISK OF A COOK, OR A 
WAITER, FOR THAT MATTER, 
SNEEZING ON YOUR FOOD, THEN YOU 
EAT IT, THEN YOU GET SICK.
>> YES, SO CERTAINLY THAT MIGHT 
BE A MODE OF TRANSMISSION.
IF SOMEONE WHO'S PREPARING YOUR 
FOOD OR DELIVERING YOUR FOOD 
COUGHS OR SNEEZES ON YOUR FOOD 
AND YOU PUT THE FOOD IN YOUR 
MOUTH, REMEMBER, YOU CAN GET 
THIS INFECTION THROUGH THE 
RESPIRATORY ROUTE, NOT THE 
GASTROINTESTINAL ROUTE, BUT 
THOSE TRACKS ARE VERY, VERY 
CLOSE TOGETHER.
WHEN WE'RE UP HERE.
SO IF THAT FOOD OR VIRUS GETS 
INTO THE BACK OF THE THROAT AND 
TOUCHES THE RIGHT CELLS AND YOU 
HAVE THE RIGHT QUANTITY OF VIRUS
IN THE BACK OF THE THROAT 
TOUCHING THE RIGHT TYPES OF 
CELLS IN YOUR BODY, IT CAN 
CERTAINLY GET INTO THOSE CELLS 
AND INFECT YOU.
IF IT JUST GETS INTO YOUR 
ESOPHAGUS AND STOMACH, IT'S NOT 
GOING TO INFECT YOU.
YOUR STOMACH ACID WILL BURN IT 
UP.
IN THE BACK OF YOUR THROAT, IF 
YOU HAVE ENOUGH QUANTITY OF THE 
VIRUS IN THAT AREA, YEAH, YOU 
ABSOLUTELY CAN GET INFECTED IN 
THAT ROUTE.
>> Andrew: NEXT QUESTION FOR 
YOU.
IN ALL THE FACTORS THAT MAKE A 
RESTAURANT SAFE, OR DANGEROUS, 
HOW IMPORTANT IS AIR FLOW?
>> IT'S GOING TO BE A COMPONENT,
AND CERTAINLY WE KNOW THAT 
PLACES, FOR EXAMPLE, OUTDOOR 
SETTINGS ARE SAFER THAN INDOOR 
SETTINGS.
SO IF A RESTAURANT, FOR EXAMPLE,
IS ABLE TO OPEN THEIR WINDOWS, 
THAT WOULD MAKE IT A MUCH SAFER 
ENVIRONMENT.
THE OTHER ISSUE, TOO, IS WE'RE 
NOT SUPPOSED TO PACK 
RESTAURANTS.
PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE ANYWHERE 
NEAR FULL TO CAPACITY.
THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST TWO 
METRES OF DISTANCE BETWEEN 
TABLES, AND WE SHOULD ALSO BE 
THINKING ABOUT HOW PEOPLE WALK 
THROUGH THE RESTAURANTS, THE 
FLOW OF TRAFFIC THROUGH THE 
RESTAURANTS, TO REALLY PREVENT 
PEOPLE FROM CLUSTERING TOGETHER.
SO AIR FLOW, PHYSICAL 
DISTANCING, HAND HYGIENE.
THOSE ARE GOING TO BE EXTREMELY 
IMPORTANT COMPONENTS, AND OF 
COURSE IF PEOPLE CAN PRACTICE 
PHYSICAL DISTANCING, THEN THAT 
WOULD BE A VERY IMPORTANT 
ADDITION AS WELL.
>> Andrew: I'VE GOT ANOTHER 
QUICK ONE FOR YOU.
SHOULD WE AVOID LONG RESTAURANT 
MEALS, STICK TO QUICK DINING?
>> YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THIS IS 
GOING TO BOIL DOWN TO PEOPLE'S 
RISK THRESHOLD AND RISK 
PERCEPTION.
CERTAINLY WE KNOW THAT THE 
LONGER SOMEONE HAS A POTENTIAL 
EXPOSURE, THE GREATER THE RISK 
OF GETTING THIS INFECTION.
BUT HAVING SAID THAT, I MEAN, IF
YOU'VE ALREADY CROSSED THE 
THRESHOLD TO GO OUT FOR DINNER 
AND THE RESTAURANT HAS TAKEN 
STEPS TO REALLY MITIGATE THE 
RISK OF BRINGING INFECTION IN
AND TRANSMITTING INFECTION 
WITHIN THE RESTAURANT, I THINK 
IT'S OKAY TO ENJOY A NICE 
DINNER.
BUT CERTAINLY SOME PEOPLE MIGHT 
WANT TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT LESS 
TIME IF THEY ARE JUST LESS 
COMFORTABLE IN THOSE SETTINGS.
BUT YOU KNOW, IN GENERAL, THE 
RESTAURANT SHOULD BE WELL 
DESIGNED, WELL VENTILATED AND 
SPACED OUT TO PREVENT PEOPLE 
FROM TRANSMITTING AND GETTING 
THE INFECTION THERE.
>> Andrew: DR. ISAAC BOGOCH, 
THIS HAS BEEN HELPFUL AS ALWAYS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
>> THANK YOU. 
>> Andrew: AND SO WE ASK YOUR 
QUESTIONS ABOUT COVID-19 AS 
OFTEN AS WE POSSIBLY CAN ON THIS
PROGRAM, SO KEEP SENDING THEM 
IN.
MESSAGE US DIRECTLY ON INSTAGRAM
@CBCTHENATIONAL OR SEND US AN 
EMAIL AT COVID@cbc.ca.
>> Adrienne: NEXT WE WILL TAKE 
YOU INSIDE A RESTAURANT FACING 
SIMILAR QUESTIONS AS THEY TRY TO
REOPEN.
>> IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE DON'T 
MAKE THE ENVIRONMENT FEEL LIKE 
YOU'RE GOING INTO A HOSPITAL 
EMERGENCY ROOM.
>> Adrienne: BUT HOW DO YOU 
BALANCE THAT PERFECT RESTAURA
>> Adrienne: WELCOME BACK.
RESTAURANTS IN ONTARIO ARE 
DESPERATELY WAITING FOR WORD ON 
WHEN THEY CAN REOPEN.
THERE'S BEEN LITTLE GUIDANCE 
FROM THE GOVERNMENT ON WHEN OR 
HOW THAT COULD HAPPEN, BUT AS 
NICK PURDON SHOWS US, TWO 
TORONTO RESTAURANT OWNERS WILL 
BE READY WHEN IT DOES.
>> WE'LL HAVE EVERYTHING IN 
PLACE READY TO GO FOR WHEN THEY 
GIVE US THE GO-AHEAD TO MOVE ON.
>> Reporter: TORONTO'S CABOOTH 
IS DESPERATE TO REOPEN.
HE WANTS HIS CUSTOMERS TO COME 
TO HIS RESTAURANT AND FORGET 
ABOUT COVID.
EVEN FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
THAT'S WHAT THIS STAFF MEETING 
IS ALL ABOUT.
>> IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE
DON'T MAKE THE ENVIRONMENT FEEL 
LIKE YOU'RE GOING INTO A 
HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM.
WE'RE GOING TO GET RID OF ALL 
THESE BLUE HOSPITAL MASKS THAT 
SOME OF YOU GUYS ARE WEARING NOW
AND CREATE SOMETHING WITH OUR 
LOGO ON THAT'S GOING TO BE MUCH 
COOLER.
>> Reporter: HOW DO YOU BALANCE 
SAFETY AND COOL?
HOW CAN A RESTAURANT DO BUSINESS
IN THE AGE OF COVID-19?
>> YOU CAN CHANGE THE VISOR TO 
SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
>> Reporter: THAT'S THE OTHER 
OWNER.
HE AND CHARLES HAVE 14 
RESTAURANTS IN CANADA.
>> WE ARE HOPING FOR MID NEXT 
MONTH.
IT'S IMPORTANT WE GET OUR 
EMPLOYEES BACK TO WORK.
I THINK THEY ARE ALL VERY 
ANXIOUS, ALSO RUNNING OUT OF 
MONEY.
>> YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER, WE ARE 
STILL DELIVERING A CERTAIN 
AMOUNT OF APPEAL.
>> Reporter: TODAY IT'S HARD TO 
PICTURE THE APPEAL DANNY IS 
TALKING ABOUT.
A PRE-COVID CABANA.
IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO MAKE A 
PLACE LIKE THIS SAFE IN A 
PANDEMIC?
>> WHO'S USING THIS AND WHAT ARE
WE CLEANING THIS WITH?
>> YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT TTC IS
USING.
>> SO IT'S ALREADY BEEN APPROVED
FOR SANITATION AND WHAT WE NEED.
IT'S AMAZING.
>> AFTER EVERY SERVICE TABLE 
WHEN THEY LEAVE, WE TAKE THE 
TABLE TO THE BACK AND WE SPRAY 
THEM DOWN AND THEN BRING A NEW 
TABLE OUT.
>> Reporter: PICTURE THAT, 
TABLES COMING AND GOING AS THEY 
ARE DISINFECTED. 
>> TABLES ON THE SECOND LEVEL. 
>> Reporter: AND EVEN BEFORE YOU
GET TO SIT AT ONE, STAFF HAVE 
ALREADY SCREENED YOU FOR COVID.
>> YOU KNOW, WHEN THE NORMAL WAS
TO CHECK PEOPLE COMING IN AND 
MAKE SURE THEY DIDN'T HAVE 
ANYTHING THAT SHOULD BE COMING 
-- SHOULDN'T BE COMING INTO THE 
PLACE.
NOW IT WILL BE MAYBE TAKING YOUR
TEMPERATURE TO SEE HOW YOU ARE.
>> Reporter: MAYBE THE BIGGEST 
CHANGE HERE, THOUGH, WILL BE THE
NUMBERS.
INSTEAD OF 4,000 PEOPLE, THINK 
MORE LIKE 400.
>> IS THAT SUSTAINABLE?
>> I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S 
POTENTIALLY SUSTAINABLE.
I THINK EVERYBODY WANTS TO GIVE 
IT A TRY.
I THINK EVERYBODY WANTS TO SEE 
SOME SMILING FACES, AND YOU 
KNOW, WE'LL WORRY ABOUT THE 
MONEY A LITTLE LATER.
>> Reporter: STILL, THE CHANGES 
THEY ARE MAKING AREN'T FREE.
HOW MUCH MONEY ARE DANNY AND 
CHARLES INVESTING TO REOPEN?
>> TOO MUCH.
TOO MUCH.
OVER $200,000.
OUR GOAL IS TO GET OPEN, BUT HOW
WILL WE BE ABLE TO GET BACK TO 
NORMALITY?
THAT'S THE BIGGEST QUESTION FOR 
ME.
THAT KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT. 
>> Reporter: THAT'S THE 
UNCERTAINTY OF THE PANDEMIC.
EVEN TODAY THEY HAVE NO IDEA 
WHAT THE RULES WILL BE FOR 
RESTAURANTS TO REOPEN.
THE GOVERNMENT HASN'T SAID.
YOU GUYS ARE DESPERATE TO KNOW 
WHAT THE RULES ARE. 
>> I THINK THAT'S THE MOST 
IMPORTANT THING, IS GIVE US THE 
RULES.
RIGHT NOW WE ARE GOING WAY 
OVERBOARD WITH PROTECTIVE 
ACRYLICS AND CLEANING AND 
EVERYTHING ELSE.
>> IT WILL BE PLEXIGLAS HERE. 
>> SO THIS PLEXIGLAS HAS ALREADY
BEEN ORDERED.
WE'VE ALREADY TRIED ONE OF THEM.
SO YOU CAN INTERACT WITH YOUR 
NEIGHBOURS, BUT IT WILL BE WITH 
THE PLEXIGLAS, YOU KNOW.
IF YOU WANT TO SHARE A TOAST, 
YOU CAN WITHIN A FOOT.
>> Reporter: IMAGINE THAT, 
TOASTING SOMEONE THROUGH 
PLEXIGLAS.
MAKES ME WONDER, WHY NOT JUST 
WAIT FOR A VACCINE.
>> YOU CAN'T.
WHAT GIVES ME THE TIME, A 
TIMELINE ON A VACCINE?
IS IT SIX MONTHS?
IS IT A YEAR?
WHAT ABOUT ALL THESE EMPLOYEES 
THAT ARE SITTING HOME AND SOME 
OF THEM CAN'T MAKE ENDS MEET?
JUST DROP EVERYTHING?
THAT'S NOT WHAT WE DO.
WE'RE NOT QUITTERS.
WE'RE LEADERS.
WE HOPE THAT THE GOVERNMENT 
REALIZES THAT THE HOSPITALITY 
AND RESTAURANT INDUSTRY IS JUST 
NOT US, IT'S OUR SUPPLIERS, IT'S
THE GUYS SELLING US THE MEAT, 
THE VEGETABLES.
SO IT'S -- YOU CAN'T JUST QUIT.
THAT'S NOT WHAT WE DO.
>> Reporter: AT THIS POINT 
DURING THE PANDEMIC, WE ALL NEED
SOMETHING TO GET OUR MINDS OFF 
COVID.
SO NO MATTER THE RESTRICTIONS, 
YOU HAVE TO THINK CHARLES AND 
DANNY HAVE A CHANCE.
>> ANY QUESTIONS, ANYBODY?
ARE WE ALL READY TO OPEN. 
>> WE'RE READY!
>> TELL US WHEN.
>> Reporter: NICK PURDON, CBC 
NEWS, TORONTO.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THANKS, EVERYBODY.
>> Adrienne: PLEXIGLAS BARRIERS 
LIKE THE ONES MENTIONED IN 
NICK'S STORY, ARE REQUIRED FOR 
SOME BUSINESSES TO REOPEN.
THEY ARE IN HUGE DEMAND RIGHT 
NOW, AND AS GREG RASMUSSEN 
EXPLAINS, MANUFACTURERS ARE 
HAVING SOME TROUBLE KEEPING UP. 
>> SEE IF I CAN DO THIS MYSELF.
>> Reporter: ADD THIS TO THE 
DUTIES OF OWNING A RESTAURANT.
PLASTIC BARRIER INSTALLER. 
>> WELL, I'VE NEVER REALLY 
WORKED WITH PLEXIGLAS, AND I DID
THIS MYSELF YESTERDAY. 
>> Reporter: BUT FINDING IT IS 
TOUGH.
>> NOTHING FANCY ABOUT IT.
IT'S SORT OF LIKE WHAT WE COULD 
GET.
PLEXIGLAS WAS HARD TO GET, SO 
THANKFULLY I HAD A GUY THANKS TO
MY GUY.
>> Reporter: AFTER FINDING 
PLASTIC FROM A FRIEND OF A 
FRIEND, AND INSTALLING IT, THEY 
REOPENED.
BUT OTHER BUSINESSES ARE STILL 
WAITING.
>> AND ONCE THE FIRST HOUR OR 
TWO WENT BY, IT WAS GREAT.
FELT JUST LIKE THE OLD PLACE.
>> Reporter: THE EFFECTIVENESS 
OF BARRIERS IS STILL BEING 
STUDIED, BUT NOW THEY ARE 
MANDATORY FOR MANY BUSINESSES.
GETTING THEM, THOUGH, CAN TAKE 
WEEKS.
THIS SHOP FABRICATES BARRIERS 
AND SELLS PLASTICS.
>> IT'S BEEN CRAZY.
PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR BARRIERS.
YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S DOCTOR 
OFFICES OR DENTISTS OR GROCERY 
STORES OR HAIR SALONS.
EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FOR 
PROTECTION BARRIERS FOR 
EMPLOYEES.
>> Reporter: ONE TYPE OF 
BUSINESS THREATENS TO ADD TO THE
BACKLOG.
>> CASINOS ARE NOW LOOKING AT 
PUTTING A PIECE OF PLEXIGLAS 
BETWEEN EVERY SLOT MACHINE, AND 
WHEN AND IF THAT HAPPENS, IT'S 
GOING TO TAKE A REAL STRAIN ON 
THE SUPPLY CHAIN.
>> THIS IS AN UNPRECEDENTED 
DEMAND LEVELS HERE, SO -- VERY 
-- THE INDUSTRY HAS TO RESPOND 
VERY QUICKLY, SO THEY ARE TRYING
TO GET THAT ADDITIONAL CAPACITY 
INTO PRODUCTION, BUT THEN IT'S
GOING TO SHIFT, AND THAT'S GOING
TO TAKE TIME.
>> I'D LIKE TO OPEN UP AGAIN. 
>> Reporter: SOME CUSTOMERS ARE 
ALREADY ADJUSTING TO LIFE BEHIND
PLASTIC.
>> CAN'T EVEN SEE IT, YOU KNOW?
JUST I THINK IT'S WELL DONE.
>> Reporter: WHILE OTHERS HOPE 
IT'S ONLY TEMPORARY.
>> DEFINITELY WANT TO GO BACK TO
NORMAL, AND I WOULDN'T FIND 
SEEING THE PLEXIGLAS GOING DOWN,
FOR SURE.
>> Reporter: GREG RASMUSSEN, CBC
NEWS, VANCOUVER.
>> Andrew: THOSE PLEXIGLAS 
BARRIERS ARE ALSO BEING 
INSTALLED IN HOTELS GETTING 
READY TO WELCOME BACK GUESTS.
>> I SEE TUMBLEWEEDS FLOWING 
THROUGH THE LOBBY. 
>> Andrew: NEXT ON "THE 
>> Andrew: WELCOME BACK.
THE HOTEL INDUSTRY HAS BEEN 
HAMMERED BY COVID-19, BUT AS 
SOME PREPARE TO REOPEN, HANNAH 
THIBEDEAU SHOWS US WHAT GUESTS 
CAN EXPECT.
>> Reporter: IT'S LIKE A GHOST 
TOWN IN THIS NEARLY 300-ROOM 
HOTEL.
>> I SEE TUMBLEWEEDS FLOWING 
THROUGH THE LOBBY.
IT'S QUIET.
IT'S A LITTLE EERIE, I GUESS, TO
SEE THE HOTEL EMPTY LIKE THIS.
>> Reporter: BEFORE THE 
PANDEMIC, BROOKSTREET HOTEL 
EMPLOYED 340 STAFF.
IT'S DOWN TO 19 AS IT PREPARES 
TO REOPEN.
ANOTHER CHANGE IS ENHANCED 
CLEANING AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS.
>> PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW THAT 
WHEREVER THEY GO IN THE 
BUILDING, IT'S CLEAN, SANITIZED,
AND WE PUT THE PROPER MEASURES 
IN PLACE TO TAKE CARE OF THAT.
>> Reporter: THAT INCLUDES 
PLEXIGLAS AT THE FRONT DESK, 
SOCIAL DISTANCING MARKERS ON THE
GROUND, AND SANITATION STATIONS.
AND ROOMS WILL BE CLEANED JUST 
ONCE PER USAGE TO LIMIT POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE FOR HOUSEKEEPING.
SOME HARD-TO-CLEAN ITEMS, LIKE 
PENS AND PAPERS, WILL BE 
REMOVED.
THE LIMITED INTERACTION BEGINS 
AT THE DOOR. 
>> IT WILL ALLOW A GUEST TO 
CHECK IN OVER THEIR DEVICES, VIA
EMAIL.
THEY WILL HAVE THEIR KEY SENT TO
THEM IN ADVANCE.
THEY TOUCH THEIR LOCK AND THEY 
CAN GO DIRECTLY INTO THEIR ROOM.
>> WE HAVE INCREASED THE 
FREQUENCY WITH WHICH WE CLEAN. 
>> Reporter: THE NOVOTEL IN 
TORONTO WILL USE UV LIGHTS AND 
ELECTROSTATIC SPRAYERS FOR 
DISINFECTANTS AND EVEN BED LIFTS
TO HELP CLEAN UNDERNEATH.
THE HOTEL ASSOCIATION OF CANADA 
SAYS A QUARTER OF A MILLION 
HOTEL EMPLOYEES RIGHT ACROSS THE
COUNTRY HAVE BEEN LAID OFF 
BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, AND IT 
EXPECTS TO BE ONE OF THE LAST 
INDUSTRIES TO FULLY RECOVER.
>> IT WILL TAKE A WHILE BEFORE 
CONVENTIONS CAN COME BACK, EVEN 
WEDDINGS THAT WOULD NORMALLY 
TAKE PLACE IN A HOTEL.
I THINK WE'RE A LONG WAYS AWAY 
FROM MASS GATHERINGS IN HOTEL 
FACILITIES, AND THAT IS GOING TO
HAVE A LARGE IMPACT ON OUR 
OVERALL BUSINESS. 
>> Reporter: SO FAR BROOKSTREET 
HAS JUST A HANDFUL OF 
RESERVATIONS FOR JUNE, BUT IT 
AND OTHER HOTELS ARE HOPING TO 
SEE MORE BOOKINGS THIS SUMMER, 
FROM GUESTS DESPERATE TO GET OUT
OF THE HOUSE.
HANNAH THIBEDEAU, CBC NEWS, 
OTTAWA.
>> Adrienne: NEXT ON "THE 
NATIONAL," HOW TO FIGHT 
QUARANTINE BOREDOM AS THE 
WEATHER GETS GREAT.
THESE GUYS HAVE QUITE THE SUMMER
SOCIAL DISTANCING PLAN.
OUR "MOMENT" IS NEXT.
>> Adrienne: WELL, LOOK AT THESE
HAPPY FELLOWS.
THESE TWO NEIGHBOURS GOT A 
LITTLE CREATIVE WITH THEIR 
SOCIAL SUMMER -- SUMMER SOCIAL 
DISTANCING.
STILL CAN'T SAY THOSE WORDS.
DOWN CAME THE FENCE AND UP WENT 
THE BAR.
SO THEIR NEIGHBOURLY SOLUTION TO
QUARANTINE BOREDOM HAS TO BE OUR
"MOMENT."
*
>> WE'VE ALWAYS JOKED ABOUT WE 
HANG OUT SO MUCH THAT WE SHOULD 
JUST GET RID OF THE FENCE AND 
JUST, LIKE, HAVE ONE BIG YARD 
FOR THE KIDS TO PLAY IN.
AND I THINK WITH COVID OBVIOUSLY
KIND OF SPED THE PROCESS UP A 
BIT.
>> IT WAS LITERALLY A 
LAST-MINUTE KIND OF IDEA PROJECT
FOR A SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
A WHOLE SECTION OF FENCE CAME 
RIGHT OUT.
IT MIGHT LOOK ELABORATE, BUT 
IT'S REALLY NOT.
IT'S CHAINS AND LATCHES AND 
POWER TOOLS AND THAT'S ALL IT 
TOOK TO PUT IT TOGETHER.
WE HAVE MEASURED THAT IF WE WERE
ON OUR STOOLS WE WOULD ACTUALLY 
BE SIX FEET APART. 
>> IT'S GOOD, AND THIS IS GOING 
TO BE THERE FOR A LONG TIME.
>> YEAH.
>> Adrienne: OKAY, SO MY FIRST 
THOUGHT IS I'M NOT SURE THIS 
WOULD WORK WITH EVERY NEIGHBOUR.
BUT THESE TWO GUYS LIKE EACH 
OTHER SO MUCH, THEIR FAMILIES 
DO, THAT THEY GOT TRAILERS SIDE 
BY SIDE SO THAT THEY COULD 
VACATION TOGETHER.
>> Andrew: THAT'S NICE.
DID YOU SEE THE CEILING, THE 
UMBRELLA ON TOP?
THAT'S AMAZING.
BUT SEE, MY IDEA, I THINK THEY 
SHOULD DO IT WITH FOUR 
BACKYARDS, LIKE TWO BACKYARDS, 
YOU KNOW, THAT BACK OUT ON TO 
TWO MORE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WOULD 
LOOK LIKE, BUT SOMEONE SMARTER 
THAN ME CAN DESIGN THAT.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR THIS 
MAY 26.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
>> Adrienne: GOOD NIGHT.
