 >> Andrew: GOOD EVENING.
 I'M ANDREW CHANG.
 TONIGHT, AFTER WEEKS AT THE 
 CENTRE OF CONTROVERSY, THE WE 
 CHARITY ANNOUNCES MAJOR 
 CHANGES.
 BUT IN OTTAWA, THE PRIME 
 MINISTER REMAINS UNDER FIRE.
 >>> BACK TO SCHOOL WITH BIG 
 CUTS AND CHANGES. 
 >> YOU REALLY NEED THAT I
 IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE IN CLASS. 
 >> Andrew: THE EXTREME THAT 
 SOME ARE GOING NOT TO WEAR A 
 MASK.
 THE FAKE EXEMPTION CARDS MAKING
 THE ROUNDS.
 >>> AND A MORNING RUN THAT 
 ENDED FACE-TO-FACE WITH A BEAR.
 >> I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO 
 DIE. 
 >> Andrew: A MANITOBA WOMAN'S 
 VERY CLOSE CALL.
 >>> THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
 >>> AFTER ENDING UP IN THE 
 MIDDLE OF A POLITICAL STORM 
 SPARKED EARLIER THIS MONTH 
 AFTER IT WAS HANDED A 
 MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR GOVERNMENT 
 CONTRACT, WE CHARITY SAYS IT'S 
 MAKING SOME INTERNAL CHARITIES.
 THE ORGANIZATION WAS CHOSEN TO 
 RUN A FEDERAL STUDENT GRANT 
 PROGRAMME THIS SUMMER, BUT ITS 
 CLOSE TIES TO THE PRIME 
 MINISTER AND HIS FAMILY WERE A 
 PROBLEM AND PUT IT UNDER A 
 GLARING SPOTLIGHT.
 THIS WEEK, JUSTIN TRUDEAU 
 APOLOGIZED TO CANADIANS FOR NOT
 REMOVING HIMSELF FROM THAT 
 CONTRACT.
 THERE IS AN ETHICS 
 INVESTIGATION, AND UNDER IT 
 ALL.
 WE SAYS IT'S TIME TO RETURN TO 
 ITS ROOTS.
 HERE'S ASHLEY BURKE.
 >> Reporter: THIS IS WHAT MADE 
 WE KNOWN WORLDWIDE.
 THIS IS WHERE IT STARTED WITH 
 12-YEAR-OLD CRAIG IN INDIA.
 AND TONIGHT, THE CHARITY SAYS 
 IT'S GOING BACK TO BASICS.
 IN A STATEMENT TODAY ON THE 
 FUTURE OF WE, THE GROUP SAYS WE
 CHARITY WILL RETURN TO ITS 
 ROOTS, PRIORITIZING OUR 
 INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORK,
 ANNOUNCING A FORMAL 
 ORGANIZATIONAL REVIEW TO STREAM
 LINE THE ORGANIZATIONAL 
 STRUCTURE WITH A GOAL OF A 
 CLEARER STRUCTURE BETWEEN THE 
 SOCIAL ENTERPRISE AND THE 
 CHARITIABLE ENTITIES.
 THE CHARITY ALSO SAYS IT'S 
 CANCELLING ITS POPULAR WE DAY 
 EVENTS FOR THE FORESEEABLE 
 FUTURE.
 WE HAS BEEN UNDER FIRE SINCE 
 THE TRUDEAU GOVERNMENT 
 ANNOUNCED THE CHARITY WOULD 
 ADMINISTER A $900 MILLION GRANT
 PROGRAMME FOR STUDENTS. 
 >> Prime Minister Justin 
 Trudeau: I MADE A MISTAKE.
 >> Reporter: THE PRIME MINISTER
 WAS FORCED TO RECUSE HIMSELF 
 AFTER NOT RELEASING DETAILS OF 
 THE DEAL, INCLUDING PAYMENTS OF
 $250,000 TO HIS MOTHER FOR 
 SPEAKING AT WE EVENTS. 
 >> I WAS CONCERNED THAT THE 
 PRIME MINISTER WAS TOO CLOSE TO
 IT, AND I WAS HAPPY TO SEE, 
 ONE, THE DECISION WAS REVERSED 
 AND ULTIMATELY QUICKLY, AND 
 TWO, THE DECISION WAS 
 FORMALIZED.
 >> Reporter: THIS NEWS FROM WE 
 STILL DOESN'T ANSWER ALL OF THE
 QUESTIONS SWIRLING AROUND 
 PARLIAMENT.
 THEY'LL CONTINUE THURSDAY WHEN 
 THE FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETS.
 CONSERVATIVES WANT TO GRILL 
 SENIOR MEMBERS OF THE PRIME 
 MINISTER'S OFFICE, BUT FOR NOW,
 THEY'LL HAVE TO SETTLE FOR THE 
 MINISTER IN CHARGE OF THE FUND 
 THAT WE WAS GOING TO RUN, IN 
 ADDITION TO SENIOR SERVANTS WHO
 GAVE THE PROJECT THE GREEN 
 LIGHT.
 ASHLEY BURKE, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA.
 >> Andrew: AND INFECTIONS SOUTH
 OF THE BORDER, OVERALL, NEARLY 
 3.5 MILLI
 3.5 MILLION CASES, AND MORE 
 THAN 137,000 DEATHS.
 AS FOR SMALLER STATES, OKLAHOMA
 HAS REPORTED 994 NEW CASES, 
 INCLUDING THE FIRST GOVERNOR TO
 TEST POSITIVE.
 NEVADA HAS ANNOUNCED A RECORD 
 NUMBER OF NEW CASES, 1100.
 IT'S BLAMING LAX PRECAUTIONS ON
 THOSE CELEBRATING THE FOURTH OF
 JULY.
 ON THE CORPORATE FRONT, WALMART
 IS MAKING MASKS MANDATORY AS OF
 MONDAY.
 THEN, THERE'S WASHINGTON.
 FOR DAYS, DR. ANTHONY FAUCI HAS
 ENDURED ATTACKS BY DONALD TRUMP
 AND OTHERS, BUT HE SAID IT'S 
 JUST MAKING THE WHITE HOUSE 
 LOOK BAD.
 KATIE SIMPSON WITH MORE ON HOW 
 HE APPEARS TO BE SMOOTHING 
 THINGS OVER.
 >> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT 
 TRIED TO PLAY PEACEMAKER, 
 DISTANCING HIMSELF FROM HIS TOP
 ADVISOR, PETER NAVARRO, AFTER 
 HE WROTE A SCATHING REVIEW OF 
 DR. ANTHONY FAUCI. 
 >> President Donald Trump: I 
 HAVE A VERY GOOD RELATIONSHIP 
 WITH ANTHONY.
 >> Reporter: TITLES, "ANTHONY 
 FAUCI HAS BEEN WRONG ABOUT 
 EVERYTHING I'VE INTERACTED WITH
 HIM ON," HE LISTED ALL THE 
 DISPUTES OVER COVID, INCLUDING 
 HYDROXY CHLOROQUINE.
 HE'S FRUSTRATED THAT DR. 
 ANTHONY FAUCI, THE TOP 
 INFECTIOUS DISEASE EXPERT IN 
 THE COUNTRY, WOULD NOT BACK 
 HIM.
 DURING AN INTERVIEW FOR THE 
 MAGAZINE, "THE ATLANTIC," DR. 
 FAUCI APPEARED CONFUSED BY THE 
 ATTACKS ON THE VERY PEOPLE HE'S
 ADVISING. 
 >> I THINK THEY RECOGNIZED 
 THAT'S NOT A PRUDENT THING TO 
 DO BECAUSE IT'S ONLY REFLECTING
 NEGATIVELY ON THEM.
 >> Reporter: LAST WEEKS, THE 
 WHITE HOUSE RELEASED A LIST OF 
 THE MISTAKES IT SAID DR. FAUCI 
 MADE AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID
 THIS. 
 >> DR. FAUCI IS A GOOD MAN, BUT
 HE'S MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES, A 
 LOT OF MISTAKES, A LOT OF 
 MISTAKES.
 >> Reporter: TRUMP HAS 
 REPEATEDLY DOWNPLAYED THE 
 PANDEMIC, WHILE FAUCI HAS 
 WARNED OF DARKER DAYS AHEAD.
 THE INFIGHTING IS BEING USED IN
 A FRESH ATTACK AD BY ANTITRUMP 
 REPUBLICANS. 
 >> Andrew: AND KATIE IS HERE 
 WITH MORE.
 KATIE, WITH SO MUCH FOCUS ON 
 INFIGHTING TODAY, THERE WASN'T 
 NEARLY AS MUCH ATTENTION PAID 
 TO A NEW DIRECTIVE FROM THE 
 WHITE HOUSE ABOUT HOW COVID 
 NUMBERS ARE REPORTED. 
 >> Reporter: AND ANDREW, 
 SCIENTISTS ARE DEEPLY TROUBLED 
 BY THIS DECISION FROM THE WHITE
 HOUSE.
 AS OF TODAY, ALL NUMBERS 
 DETAILS CASES AND DEATHS 
 MUST -- DETAILING CASES AND 
 DEATHS MUST BE REPORTED TO THE 
 WHITE HOUSE RATHER THAN THE 
 CENTRES FOR DISEASE CONTROL.
 THE PANDEMIC IS ALREADY VIEWED 
 THROUGH A DEEPLY PARTISAN LENS 
 HERE.
 ANDREW?
 >> Andrew: KATIE SIMPSON IN 
 WASHINGTON, THANKS.
 >>> NOW HERE AT HOME, WE 
 HAVEN'T SEEN NEAR THE LEVEL OF 
 PANDEMIC POLITICS WHEN IT COMES
 TO THINGS LIKE WEARING A MASK, 
 BUT TODAY, IN ONTARIO'S COTTAGE
 COUNTRY, AN ALTERCATION OVER 
 WEARING A MASK LEFT A MAN DEAD.
 TALIA RICCI IS IN HALIBURTON 
 TONIGHT. 
 >> Reporter: THE ALTERCATION 
 STARTED HERE.
 AN ELDERLY EMPLOYEE WAS 
 SANITIZING THE SHOPPING CARTS 
 AND OFFERING MASKS TO SHOPPERS,
 WHEN THE 73-YEAR-OLD CUSTOMER 
 ALLEGED REFUSED A MASK AND THEN
 ASSAULTED THE WORKER.
 HE THEN FLED IN HIS VEHICLE, 
 CAUSING DAMAGE IN THE PARKING 
 LOT. 
 >> POLICE ATTEMPTED TO STOP 
 THAT SUSPECT VEHICLE AND HAD TO
 DISCONTINUE IN THE INTEREST OF 
 PUBLIC SAFETY. 
 >> Reporter: IT ENDED ABOUT 
 HALF AN HOUR AWAY, OUTSIDE OF 
 WHAT'S BELIEVED TO BE THE MAN'S
 HOME.
 ONTARIO'S SPECIAL 
 INVESTIGATIONS UNIT SAYS TWO 
 OFFICERS OPENED FIRE. 
 >> THE 73-YEAR-OLD SUSPECT WAS 
 OPENED FIRE UPON, TAKEN TO A 
 HOSPITAL, AND PRONOUNCED 
 DISEA
 DECEASED.
 >> Reporter: YESTERDAY, IN 
 MICHIGAN, OFFICERED SHOT AND 
 KILLED SOMEONE AFTER HE WAS 
 CONFRONTED FOR NOT WEARING A 
 MASK.
 AT THE V
 >> IF WE DIDN'T HAVE TO FORCE 
 HIM AND, LIKE, REMOVE HIM -- 
 NOT REMOVE HIM, BUT TELL HIM HE
 COULD NOT COME INTO THE STORE, 
 NOTHING WOULD HAVE HAPPENED, 
 REALLY.
 LIKE, HE WOULD HAVE GOT HIS 
 GROCERIES AND GONE ON WITH HIS 
 DAY. 
 >> THEY'RE THE HEROS.
 I'M GOING TO GET EMOTIONAL.
 THEY DESERVE THE CREDIT.
 THAT'S ALL I WANT TO SAY. 
 >> Reporter: THE S.I.U. IS 
 ASKING ANYONE WITH INFORMATION 
 OR VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT TO 
 CONTACT THEM.
 TALIA RICCI, CBC NEWS, 
 HALIBURTON, ONTARIO.
 >> Andrew: NOW IN PLACES WHERE 
 IT'S MANDATORY TO WEAR MASKS 
 INSIDE, SOME PEOPLE ARE TRYING 
 TO CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT IT'S 
 NOT MANDATORY TO WEAR THOSE 
 MASKS, AND FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T
 WEAR THEM, THEY SAY THAT'S A 
 SLAP IN THE FACE.
 >> Reporter: IT'S BEEN JUST ONE
 WEEK SINCE MASKS BECAME 
 MANDATORY INDOORS IN TORONTO, 
 BUT ALREADY, INCIDENTS OF 
 PEOPLE TRYING TO FLOUT THE 
 RULES.
 VIDEOS LIKE THIS HAVE BEEN 
 SHARED ON SOCIAL MEDIA, PEOPLE 
 TRYING TO GET IN WITHOUT A MASK
 WITH WHAT'S CALLED A SOCIAL 
 EXEMPTION CARD.
 THIS IS ONE OF THOSE CARDS.
 THE PROBLEM IS, THEY'RE FAKE.
 >> WHAT'S TROUBLING TO ME IS 
 THAT PEOPLE ARE USING THE LOGOS
 ARE LEGITIMATE MEDICAL 
 ORGANIZATIONS, PRINTING THESE 
 UP.
 >> Reporter: IT'S A SLAP IN THE
 FACE, SAYS SOME WHO ARE 
 IMMUNOCOMPROMISED.
 GABE WATSON HAS CYSTIC 
 FIBROSIS. 
 >> IT'S A LITTLE BIT INSULTING,
 BUT YEAH, I THINK IT'S CRAZY. 
 >> IT'S ALSO DAMAGING TO THOSE 
 WHO CAN'T WEAR A MASK FOR REAL 
 HEALTH REASONS. 
 >> I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT
 THE VERY, VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE
 OF POPULATION THAT HAS A 
 LEGITIMATE REASON FOR NOT 
 WEARING A MASK, AND WE'RE 
 ACTUALLY DISENFRANCHISING THOSE
 PEOPLE MORE, WHEN OTHER PEOPLE 
 ARE TRYING TO ABUSE THAT.
 >> Reporter: AN ACCOUNT THAT'S 
 BEEN SHARING VIDEOS ON SOCIAL 
 MEDIA IS LED -- TODAY, PREMIER 
 DOUG FORD CONDEMNED THE MASK 
 CARDS. 
 >> NOT A LOT OF GUIDANCE IS 
 PROVIDED TO BUSINESS OWNERS 
 WITH RESPECT TO HOW TO HANDLE 
 THESE SITUATIONS.
 >> Reporter: FOR THOSE WHOSE 
 LIVES ARE POTENTIALLY AT STAKE,
 THE HOPE IS COMMON SENSE WILL 
 PREVAIL.
 >> Andrew: ONTARIO REPORT 102 
 NEW COVID CASES, THE FEWEST IN 
 THREE MONTHS, AND GOOD NEWS FOR
 THOSE IN LONG-TERM CARE. 
 >> STARTING JULY 22, INDOOR 
 VISITS FOR TWO AT A TIME CAN 
 RESUME. 
 >> Andrew: THE PROVINCE 
 LOOSENING RESTRICTIONS FOR 
 OUTDOOR VISITS.
 TWO GUESTS WILL NOW BE ALLOWED,
 AND THEY WON'T REQUIRE A 
 COVID-19 TEST. 
 >> WE'VE HAD PEOPLE WHO WERE 
 ACTUALLY SICK ON THE FLIGHT 
 COMING IN FROM TORONTO FROM 
 OTHER PARTS OF CANADA. 
 >> Andrew: B.C.s TOP DOCTOR 
 CALLING FOR A STRICTER APPROACH
 FROM AIRLINES AFTER A NUMBER OF
 FLIGHTS BOUND FOR THE PROVINCE 
 HAD INFECTED TRAVELERS ON 
 BOARD.
 SHE'S ASKING FOR A BETTER 
 CANCELLATION POLICY AND FLIGHT 
 MANIFESTS TO HELP WITH CONTACT 
 TRACING.
 AIRLINES, THOUGH, SAY THEY'RE 
 FOLLOWING GUIDELINES FROM 
 FEDERAL AGENCIES.
 >>> WELL, IN MID-JULY, PARENTS 
 ACROSS CANADA HAVE SEPTEMBER IN
 MIND.
 SPECIFICALLY, HOW WILL THEIR 
 PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT GET THEIR
 KIDS BACK TO SCHOOL.
 WELL, A REPORT TODAY FROM THE 
 COUNTRY'S LARGEST SCHOOL BOARD 
 MIGHT BE SOBERING FOR ALL OF 
 THEM.
 IT'S ABOUT THE COST OF GETTING 
 BACK TO NORMAL, BOTH IN DOLLARS
 AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.
 DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON EXPLAINS.
 >> Reporter: AFTER A SPRING AT 
 HOME, HELEN ARMBRUST LONGED FOR
 HER NORMALCY FOR HER -- SOME 
 NORMALCY FOR HER DAUGHTER COME 
 SEPTEMBER, BUT TODAY, SHE 
 LEARNED THAT ONE PART OF HER 
 EDUCATION WOULD NOT BE A SURE 
 THING: FRENCH IMMERSION.
 ONTARIO'S GOVERNMENT HAS MADE 
 ITS PREFERENCE CLEAR. 
 >> OUR GOAL AS A GOVERNMENT IS 
 TO HAVE KIDS IN THE CLASSROOM 
 FIVE DAYS A WEEK. 
 >> Reporter: TODAY'S 
 PRELIMINARY REPORT SPELLED OUT 
 WHAT THAT MIGHT MEAN.
 WITH CLASS SIZES WHITTLED DOWN 
 TO 15 KIDS, 249 NEW TEACHERS 
 WOULD HAVE TO BE HIRED, TO -- 
 2500 NEW TEACHERS WOULD HAVE TO
 BE HIRED TO THE TUNE OF $249 
 MILLION. 
 >> I THINK A LOT OF PARENTS PUT
 THEIR KIDS IN A FRENCH 
 IMMERSION PROGRAMME BECAUSE 
 THEY VALUE THE ACQUISITION OF 
 FRENCH.
 IT'S PART OF OUR CULTURAL 
 FABRIC, AND YOU MAY SEE PARENTS
 DECIDE TO SWITCH OVER TO THE 
 PRIVATE SYSTEM. 
 >> >> Reporter: OTHER POSSIBLE 
 IMPACTS OUTLINED IN THE 
 DOCUMENT IS A SCHOOL DAY ENDING
 45 MINUTES EARLIER THAN USUAL, 
 BUT MANY OF THOSE SCENARIOS 
 DON'T HAVE TO BECOME REALITY 
 SAYS A BOARD SPOKESPERSON. 
 >> IT REALLY IS CRITICAL THAT 
 WE GET PROVINCIAL SUPPORT.
 THE FACT IS SCHOOL BOARDS ARE 
 NOT BUDGETED WITH A PANDEMIC IN
 MIND, AS MANY ORGANIZATIONS ARE
 NOT. 
 >> Reporter: SCHOOL BOARDS 
 ACROSS ONTARIO HAVE TO SUBMIT 
 THEIR PLANS TO THE MINISTRY OF 
 EDUCATION BY AUGUST 4, WHICH 
 MEANS MORE MIDSUMMER 
 UNCERTAINTY FOR YEARS AND 
 STUDENTS IN A YEAR THAT'S HAD 
 PLENTY OF IT.
 DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON, CBC 
 NEWS, TORONTO. 
 >> Andrew: CANADIAN 
 UNIVERSITIES AND NATIONAL 
 SPORTS GROUPS SAY THEY NEED 
 MORE DIVERSITY AMONG COACHING 
 STAFF AND LEADERSHIP.
 THIS, AFTER CBC SPORTS 
 DETERMINED MOST PEOPLE IN THOSE
 POSITIONS ARE WHITE.
 DEVON HEROUX SHOWS US WHAT WE 
 FOUND. 
 >> Reporter: OUT ON THE COURT, 
 TAENESHA GITTENS FOUND SEEN, 
 HEARD, AND APPRECIATED.
 BUT WHEN IT CAME TO A CHANCE TO
 COACH, SHE FELT SIDELINES. 
 >> WE GET DISCRIMINATED JUST 
 BEING FEMALE, AND BLACK WOMEN, 
 WE GET DOUBLE DISCRIMINATION. 
 >> Reporter: SO WHEN SHE WAS 
 HIRED AS HEAD COACH OF THE 
 CONCORDIA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL 
 TEAM IN 2015, GITTENS TOOK THE 
 AANISCHAAUKAMIKW TIFF
 AANISCHAAUKAMIKW -- TOOK THE 
 INITIATIVE AND HIRED PEOPLE OF 
 COLOUR. 
 >> BUT GITTENS IS IN RARE 
 COMPANY.
 A VISUAL AUDIT CONDUCTED BY CBC
 SPORTS INVESTIGATED HUNDREDS OF
 KEY ROLLS AT 56 CANADIAN 
 UNIVERSITIES.
 OF THE NEARLY 400 POSITIONS 
 EXAMINED, ONLY ABOUT 10% WERE 
 HELD BY PEOPLE WHO ARE BLACK OR
 INDIGENOUS OR PERSONS OF 
 COLOUR.
 ONLY ONE OF THE 56 SCHOOLS HAS 
 A NONWHITE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR.
 BUT NOW, U-SPORTS ADMITS IT 
 SHOULD DO MORE TO REFLECT THE 
 DIVERSITY OF ITS ATHLETES IN 
 TOP LEADERSHIP POSITIONS. 
 >> SOMETIMES THE POSITIONS ARE 
 SYSTEMIC, SOMETIMES, THEY'RE 
 VISIBLE, AND NOW IS THE TIME TO
 BETTER UNDERSTAND WHY THEY'VE 
 NOT ADVANCED IN THE SYSTEM. 
 >> CBC LOOKED AT THE BOARDS OF 
 THE NATIONAL SPORTS 
 ORGANIZATIONS.
 OF THE 100 BOARDS REVIEWED, 
 ONLY 7 REFLECT ADEQUATE 
 DIVERSITY.
 THEY SAID IN A STATEMENT, WE 
 NEED TO DO MORE.
 GITTENS IS NOW PART OF THE 
 NEWLY FORMED BLACK CANADIAN 
 COACHES ASSOCIATION. 
 >> I THINK IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY 
 FOR BLACK PEOPLE TO USE THEIR 
 VOICES AND AMPLIFY VOICES WHEN 
 THEY CAN.

 LEVELLING THE PLAYING FIELD.
 DEVON HEROUX, CBC NEWS,

 GEORGE FLOYD FILED A WRONGFUL 
 DEATH LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CITY 
 OF MINNEAPOLIS AND THE FOUR 
 OFFICERS CHARGED IN HIS DEATH. 
 >> IT WAS THE KNEE OF THE 
 ENTIRE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE 
 DEPARTMENT ON THE NECK OF 
 GEORGE FLOYD THAT KILLED HIM.

 CITY HAS A HISTORY OF POLICIES 
 AND PROCEDURES THAT VIOLATE THE
 RIGHTS OF BLACK MEN UNDER 
 ARREST.

 ENT
 TURE HAVE BEEN ACCUSED -- 
 CULTURE HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF 
 MISCONDUCT, BUT NOW, THE 
 ALLEGATIONS ROCK THE WORLD OF 
 POLITICS, AND AT THE HIGHEST 
 LEVEL.
 >> Reporter: BLOC QUEBECOIS 
 LEADER YVES-FRANCOIS BLANCHET 
 IS THE LATEST TO BE ACCUSED, AN
 ALLEGATION OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
 IN 1999 THAT APPEARED ON ONE OF
 A GROWING NUMBER OF WEBSITES 
 DEVOTED TO ACCUSATIONS OF A 
 SEXUAL NATURE.
 THIS WOMAN COCREATED ONE SUCH 
 SITE, THOUGH NOT THE ONE 
 TARGETING BLANCHET.
 SHE ASKED TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS 
 HERSELF BECAUSE SHE FEARS 
 REPRIZALS.
 SOCIETY HAS FAILED TO PROTECT 
 US, SHE SAYS, SO WE'RE 
 PROTECTING OURSELVES.
 BLANCHET DENIES ALL THE 
 ALLEGATIONS.
 CBC HAS NOT VERIFIED THE 
 CLAIMS, NOR SPOKEN TO THE 
 PERSON MAKING THEM.
 BLANCHET SAYS HE SUPPORTS 
 PEOPLE MAKING CLAIMS AND CALLS 
 ON HIS ACCUSER TO GO TO THE 
 POLICE.
 THE ACCUSATIONS HAVE SHAKEN 
 QUEBEC'S STAR SYSTEM.
 STARTED BY THIS SUPERSTAR, 
 SINGER SAFIA NOLAINE.
 HER POST INCLUDES PICTURES OF 
 BRUISES ON HER THIGH SHE SAID 
 CAME FROM A BITE.
 WHAT THE TABLOIDS CALL HER 
 EMPIRE, INCLUDING TELEVISION 
 SHOWS AND A CLOTHING LINE, HAS 
 CRUMBLED.
 THE ALLEGATIONS HAVE LANDED 
 LIKE A BOMB BECAUSE THE 
 PERSONALITIES IN QUEBEC STAR 
 SYSTEM ARE SO FAMILIAR THROUGH 
 DOZENS OF SUPERMARKET TABLOIDS.
 >> WE FEEL LIKE WE KNOW THEM.
 WE'VE BEEN IN THEIR KITCHENS, 
 WE'VE ATTENDED THEIR KIDS' 
 GRADUATIONS THROUGH THOSE 
 TABLOIDS. 
 >> Reporter: ORGANIZATIONS THAT
 HELP PEOPLE FILE ALLEGATIONS OF
 SEXUAL ASSAULT HAVE BEEN 
 BOMBARDED, AND THERE'S NO SIGN 
 THEY'RE GOING TO LET UP AT ALL.
 >> Reporter: IT READS LIKE A 
 WHO'S WHO OF THE TWITTER VERSE.
 FORMER U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK 
 OBAMA, TESLA FOUNDER ELON MUSK,
 AND MICROSOFT'S FOUNDER BILL 
 GATES ALL HAD THEIR ACCOUNTS 
 TARGETED BY CON ARTISTS, ASKING
 FOLLOWERS FOR BITCOIN IN 
 EXCHANGE FOR CASH.
 >> TWITTER IN PARTICULAR, KNOWN
 AS A BROADCASTING PLATFORM, SO 
 PARTY LEADERS ARE USED TO 
 RELYING ON THIS PLATFORM TO 
 DISSEMINATE KEY POINTS, AND 
 THIS HACK IS HUGE BECAUSE IT 
 SHOWS THE VULNERABILITY OF THIS
 PLATFORM. 
 >> Reporter: THE FAKE TWEETS 
 WERE QUICKLY PULLED DOWN, AND 
 TWITTER SAYS IT'S AWARE OF A 
 SECURITY INCIDENT IMPACTING 
 ACCOUNTS.
 THE COMPANY SAYS IT'S 
 INVESTIGATING.
 STILL, THE BREACH IS A CONCERN.
 >> THE TEAM HAS MISUSED IT 
 AFTERWARD, AND THEY TRIED TO 
 USE IT AGAINST THE WIDER 
 TARGETS THAT THEY HAVE.
 >> Reporter: TWITTER HAD LOCKED
 DOWN THE HACKED ACCOUNTS.
 MOST ARE BACK UP AND RUNNING 
 FOR NOW, BUT TWITTER SAYS THAT 
 COULD CHANGE.
 AARON COLLINS, CBC NEWS, 
 CALGARY.

 PUT THE SQUEEZE ON CANADA'S 
 CHARITIES.
 UP NEXT, DEALING WITH MILLIONS 
 OF DOLLARS IN REVENUE LOSSES.
 >>> PLUS, AFTER ANSWERING YOUR 
 COVID QUESTIONS FOR FOUR 
 MONTHS, WE GO BACK TO BASICS 
 WITH OUR DOCTOR PANEL.
 HOW YOU'RE MOST LIKELY TO GET 
 INFECTED, HOW COVID-19 IS 
 TREATED, AND WHETHER A VACCINE 
 IS TRULY THE BE ALL AND END 
 ALL.
 WE'VE GOT ANSWERS TO THE 
 QUESTIONS THAT KEEP COMING UP. 
 >>> AND A CLOSE ENCOUNTER
 >> Andrew: COVID-19 IS A THREAT
 TO MANY CANADIANS IN WAYS MORE 
 THAN JUST THE OBVIOUS ONES.
 CHARITIES AND THE PEOPVOLUNTEERS 
 WHO SUPPORT THEM ARE COMING UP 
 DRASTICALLY SHORT.
 >> Reporter: COVID-19 HAS PUT 
 MARATHONS ON HOLD, ALONG WITH 
 GALAS AND FUNDRAISERS FOR 
 CHARITIABLE ORGANIZATIONS.
 SOME HAVE MOVED EVENTS ON-LINE,
 BUT DONATIONS ARE WELL BELOW 
 NORMAL. 
 >> NOT ONLY ARE THE ISSUES THAT
 PEOPLE CAN'T COME TOGETHER, BUT
 THERE'S ALSO ISSUES IN THE 
 ECONOMY, THAT PEOPLE ARE 
 CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR OWN JOBS 
 OR THEIR OWN SALARIES. 
 >> THE HEALTH CHARITY COALITION
 OF CANADA SAYS IT USUALLY 
 RAISES MORE THAN $650 MILLION, 
 BUT DONATIONS ARE DOWN 50%, 
 CHIPPING AWAY AT THE $150 DPLR
 MILLION FOR RESEARCH GRANTS.
 THE CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY IS 
 THE LARGEST CHARITIABLE DONOR 
 FOR CANCER RESEARCH. 
 >> THIS IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST
 CHALLENGE THAT WE'VE FACED IN 
 OUR 80-PLUS YEAR HISTORY. 
 >> Reporter: THIS YEAR, IT 
 EXPECTS DONATIONS TO FALL SHORT
 BY 80 TO $100 MILLION.
 THE STROKE ASSOCIATION HAD TO 
 LAYOFF 200 EMPLOYEES.
 INSTEAD OF THE USUALLY $2,000 
 IN MONTHLY DONATIONS, THE 
 SICKLE CELL ASSOCIATION OF 
 ONTARIO SEES ONLY A FEW HUNDRED
 TRICKLE IN.

 FIND WAYS TO COME UP WITH THAT 
 MONEY IN SOME WAY, SHAPE, OR 
 FORM.

 WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO TAP INTO 
 $350 MILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDING
 PROMISED BACK IN APRIL, BUT 
 THOSE FUNDS HAVE YET TO BE 
 DISTRIBUTED.
 TASHAUNA REED, CBC NEWS, 
 TORONTO.
 >> Andrew: AND NEXT ON "THE 
 NATIONAL," OUR DOCTORS AND THE 
 COVID QUESTIONS THAT
 >> Andrew: WELCOME BACK.
 WE'RE GOING TO RESET A LITTLE 
 BIT TODAY.
 INSTEAD OF YOUR QUESTIONS TO 
 OUR DOCTORS, WE'RE GOING TO GET
 SOME PERSPECTIVE ON THE 
 QUESTIONS THAT KEEP COMING UP.
 KEEP IN MIND WHEN THIS PANDEMIC
 WAS DECLARED, ON MARCH 11.
 CANADA HAD 117 CASES AND TWO 
 DEATHS.
 TODAY,  IT'S CLAIMED TO MORE THA300,000 
 CASES AND 8800 DEATHS.
 BACK TO BASICS ON THE TABLE 
 TONIGHT.
 AND JOINING ME TO HELP US 
 THROUGH IT ALL, TWO DOCTORS 
 JOINING US, TWO INFECTIOUS 
 DISEASE SPECIALISTS, DR. LYNORA
 SAXINGER, AND DR. RAYWAT 
 DEONANDAN.
 DR. DEONANDAN, I'LL START WITH 
 YOU.
 IN THIS PANDEMIC, BEGINNING, 
 MIDDLE, END, WHERE ARE WE?
 >> WE ARE IN THE FIRST HALF OF 
 THE FIRST INNING OF A 
 NINE-INNING BALL GAME.
 SO WE'VE SEEN SOME OF OUR 
 SOCIETIES CLOSE DOWN, BUT WE'VE
 SEEN A LIFT.
 I LIKE TO SAY, THIS IS NO 
 LONGER THE BURDEN OF DOCTORS 
 AND PHYSICIANS, NOW, THIS IS 
 THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SOCIETY.
 WE'RE JUST TRYING TO HOLD THE 
 FOR THE RECORD DO N
 FORT DOWN UNTIL A VIABLE 
 TREATMENT IS FOUND.
 >> Andrew: AND DR. SAXINGER, A 
 LOT OF US WERE PREOCCUPIED WITH
 THINGS LIKE WIPING DOWN 
 GROCERIES, NOT TOUCHING DOOR 
 HANDLES, AND NOT TOUCHING 
 NEWSPAPERS.
 WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?
 >> I THINK A LOT OF OUR ACTIONS
 WERE DRIVEN BY FEAR.
 BUT USUALLY, IT'S SPREAD BY 
 OTHERS WHO DON'T REALLY PONDER 
 THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THEIR 
 ACTIONS, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
 WE'RE A SOCIETY THAT TENDS TO 
 KEEP GOING IN SPITE OF NEW 
 SYMPTOMS, AND WE NEED TO KEEP 
 DOING THAT.
 SO SHARING CLOSE SPACE, SHARING
 INDOORS HAS SEEMED TO BE THE 
 BIGGEST RISK FOR TRANSMISSION.
 I THINK BEING EXCESSIVELY 
 PARANOID WI
 PARANOID ABOUT WASHING YOUR 
 VEGETABLES WITH BLEACH OR SOAP,
 IT'S ALMOST WASTING YOUR TIME 
 BECAUSE YOU SHOULD BE THINKING 
 ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU'VE 
 BEEN IN CONTACT WITH, KEEPING 
 6 FEET AWAY FROM OTHER PEOPLE, 
 AND WEARING -- WASHING YOUR 
 HANDS IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE 
 DOING TO KEEP FURTHERING THE 
 PANDEMI
 PANDEMIC.
 THERE HAS BEEN A FEW CASE 
 SERIES WHERE EVERYBODY SUGGESTS
 THAT, THAT THEY WERE COMING 
 INTO CONTACT WITH YUTENSILS OR 
 SURFACES, THE
 SURFACE, SO EVEN -- 
 >> Andrew: DR. DOENANDAN, ON 
 TREATMENTS, HOW EFFECTIVE ARE 
 THEY. 
 >> WELL, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF 
 TREATMENTS THAT EVERYONE KNOWS 
 ABOUT.
 THE RECOMMENDS RECOMMENDS
 THE REMDESIVIR IS ONE THAT 
 EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT.
 THE SPUN DOWN ANTIBODIES FROM A
 RECOVERED PERSON INFECTED INTO 
 AN ILL PERSON, THAT'S AN 
 ANCIENT TECHNOLOGY GOING BACK 
 HUNDREDS OF YEARS.
 THOSE ARE FINE, BUT THEY'RE NOT
 GAME CHANGERS.
 WE STILL DON'T HAVE A LIFE 
 SAVING TREATMENT.
 WE HEAR A LOT OF NOISE, BUT 
 I'VE YET TO SEE ANYTHING 
 MANIFEST IN, YOU KNOW, 
 DEMONSTRABLE EVIDENCE.
 I'M CONFIDENT, BUT IT'S NOT 
 THERE YET. 
 >> Andrew: CAN YOU JUST 
 EXPLAIN, WHAT ARE THESE 
 TREATMENTS ACTUALLY DOING AND 
 WHAT MAKES AN EFFECTIVE 
 TREATMENT?
 >> WELL, SOME OF THEM ATTEMPT 
 TO BLAOCK THE ENTRANCE OF THE 
 VIRUS INTO OUR CELLS.
 SOME ATTEMPT TO BLOCK THE 
 REPRODUCTION OF THE VIRUS, SOME
 ATTEMPT TO BLOCK THE VIRUS INTO
 A DISEASE STATE, AND SOME 
 ATTEMPT TO JUST REDUCE 
 SYMPTOMS, AND SOME JUST ATTEMPT
 TO JUST PREVENT YOU FROM DYING 
 ONCE YOU'RE ALREADY ON THAT 
 PATH, SO THERE'S A WHOLE 
 SPECTRUM OF APPROACHES BEING 
 TAKEN.
 PEOPLE WANT THAT MAGIC PILL, 
 WHERE YOU TAKE IT AND ALL OF A 
 SUDDEN YOU'RE NOT INFECTIOUS, 
 BUT THAT DOESN'T EXIST YET.
 INSTEAD, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A 
 VARIETY OF TREATMENTS THAT WE 
 CAN APPLY.
 >> Andrew: AND WITH THAT, DR. 
 SAXINGER, LET'S TALK ABOUT 
 VACCINES.
 WE DON'T KNOW HOW EFFECTIVE A 
 VACCINE WOULD BE, HOW LONG 
 IMMUNITY WOULD LAST, SO WHERE 
 ARE WE AT THERE?
 >> WELL, THERE'S BEEN SOME 
 SUGGESTIONS IN THE LITERATURE 
 LIKELY THAT MAYBE THE ANTIBODY 
 RESPONSE MOVES MORE QUICKLY 
 THAN WE WOULD LIKE IT TO.
 BUT AT THE SAME TIME, PEOPLE 
 TOOK THAT NEWS KIND OF HARD, 
 THAT SUGGESTION.
 WE STILL DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE A 
 VIEW AT HOW MUCH CELL IMMUNITY 
 WE MIGHT EXPECT, YOUR 
 RESISTANCE TO INFECTION.
 AND SO WITH THAT IN MIND, I 
 THINK THAT'S A PIECE OF THE 
 PUZZLE FOR VACCINES THAT ARE 
 STARTING TO COME TOGETHER.
 I STILL AM OPTIMISTIC ON THAT.
 I REALLY AM, AND THERE'S BEEN A
 LOT OF SCIENTIST EFFORT BROUGHT
 TO BEAR ON THIS, AND THERE'S A 
 NUMBER OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF 
 VACCINES THAT ARE IN 
 DEVELOPING, AND THEY'RE 
 PROMISING, AND THEY'RE NEW, AND
 THEY'
 THEY ARE NOVEL, AND WE NEED TO 
 KNOW MORE.
 THE ONE THING THAT I AM 
 HOPEFUL, BECAUSE OF THE 
 HONESTLY HORRIFIC PANDEMIC 
 GOING ON AROUND THE WORLD, 
 TESTING IS GOING ON REALLY 
 QUICK.
 WE'
 
 SO I'M STILL MORE OPTIMISTIC 
 THAN YOU ARE, I THINK. 
 >> Andrew: FANTASTIC 
 CONVERSATION, DOCTORS.
 THANK YOU SO MUCH.
 ALWAYS APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. 
 >> THANK YOU. 
 >> THANK YOU. 
 >> Andrew: AND NEXT, THE 
 PANDEMIC HAS PEOPLE LOOKING FOR
 NEW, INNOVATIVE WAYS OF PEOPLE 
 DOING THINGS.
 COMING UP, HOW TWO BROTHERS ARE
 UTILIZING A NEW PIECE OF OLD 
 TECHNOLOGY. 
 >> IT HIT ME IN THE FACE AND
 >> Andrew: FROM FINDING NEW 
 WAYS TO CONNECT TO EACH OTHER, 
 TO STAYING SAFE AND STAYING IN 
 BUSINESS, THE LAST FEW MONTHS 
 FROM HIGHLIGHTED CANADIAN 
 PROBLEM SOLVING AND INGENUITY, 
 AND SO IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, 
 WE'RE TURNING THE SPOTLIGHT ON 
 THAT IN THE TIME OF COVID.
 TONIGHT, A DEVICE THAT MONITORS
 SYMPTOMS IN COVID PATIENTS.
 IT'S APPROVED FOR USE IN THE 
 UNITED STATES, AND IT'S NOW 
 RAMPING UP FOR PRODUCTION.
 WE INTRODUCE YOU TO THE ONTARIO
 BROTHERS BEHIND IT. 
 >> IMAGINE YOU'RE IN AN 
 INTENSIVE CARE UNIT, AND YOU'VE
 GOT PATIENTS THAT ARE COVID 
 ACROSS THE ENTIRE FLOOR, ANDER 
 
 YOU'RE MONITORING EACH OF THESE
 PATIENTS. 
 >> Reporter: THAT'S THE SCENE 
 ACROSS THE WORLD.
 DOCTORS, NURSES, AND PATIENTS, 
 TRYING TO STOP THE SPREAD OF 
 THE VIRUS. 
 >> ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO 
 ELIMINATE THE RISK OF 
 INFECTION, THE RISK OF 
 EXPOSURE, THE RISK OF SPREAD, 
 THAT WILL FIT NICE INTO THAT. 
 >> Reporter: FOR THE LAST FEW 
 YEARS, JOE HAS BEEN WORKING ON 
 SOMETHING THAT FITS IN THE PALM
 OF YOUR HAND.
 JOE LIKES TO SAY HE'S REPLACED 
 ONE OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THIS 
 300-POUND MACHINE WITH 
 SOMETHING THAT FITTS IN YOUR 
 HAND OR ON YOUR IPHONE. 
 >> YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT A 
 CATHETER OR SOME SORT OF 
 INVASIVE SENSOR INSIDE THE 
 PATIENT'S BODY. 
 >> Reporter: JOE EXPLAINS THAT 
 RIGHT NOW, IN HOSPITALS, IT 
 TAKES ALMOST 25 MINUTES AND 
 EXPERT TRAINING TO GET THE SAME
 RESULTS THAT HIS PATCH DELIVERS
 IN AN INSTANT.
 JOE DIDN'T GET THIS FAR ALONE.
 HE STARTED FLOWSONICS, THE 
 COMPANY BEHIND HIS DEVICE, WITH
 HIS BROTHER, ANDREW. 
 >> WE'RE ALL IN.
 WE'VE BEEN ALL IN FOR YEARS, 
 AND WE'RE DEVELOPING THE 
 TECHNOLOGY THAT HAS THE 
 POTENTIAL TO HELP A LOT OF 
 PEOPLE CLINICALLY, SO WE'RE NOT
 GOING TO STOP UNTIL WE GET THIS
 THING ON PATIENTS. 
 >> Reporter: FULL DISCLOSURE, 
 IT LOOKS LIKE A FULL PATIENT 
 ROOM, BUT IT'S A HEALTH AND 
 SCIENCE LAB IN SUDBURY, 
 ONTARIO.
 NOT ONLY THAT, BUT CAN YOU 
 INTRODUCE US TO THE PATIENT?
 >> YEAH, THIS IS MOM. 
 >> Reporter: AND MOM, WHAT DO 
 YOU THINK OF WHAT YOUR BOYS ARE
 DOING?
 >> I'M PROUD. 
 >> Reporter: HOW COME?
 >> WELL, I'VE ALWAYS WANTED 
 THEM TO DO SOMETHING IN THE 
 MORNING THAT ALLOWS THEM TO 
 WAKE UP HAPPY AND BE 
 PASSIONATE. 
 >> Reporter: WHAT HAVE YOU 
 LEARNED FROM THEM?
 >> HOW MUCH PATIENCE THEY HAVE,
 HOW MUCH DETERMINATION THEY 
 HAVE, HOW HARD WORKING THEY 
 ARE.
 >> Reporter: ANDREW EXPLAINS 
 THAT GETTING A NEW MEDICAL 
 DEVICE TO THE MARKETPLACE IS 
 THE HARDEST THING HE'S EVER 
 DONE. 
 >> THE MOUNTAIN THAT YOU'VE GOT
 TO CLIMB THROUGH REGULATORY AND
 SAFETY INTO THE HOSPITAL, THEN 
 DEAL WITH ALL OF THE DIFFERENT 
 DEPARTMENTS IN THE HOSPITAL AND
 TRAINING THE STAFF, IT'S AN 
 EPIC CHALLENGE, AND I DON'T 
 THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD 
 TAKE THAT CHALLENGE ON IF THEY 
 KNEW WHAT IT ENTAILS BECAUSE 
 IT'S A LONG ROAD.
 >> Reporter: THE BROTHERS HOPE 
 SOON TO BE ABLE TO PRODUCE 
 1,000 DEVICES A WEEK.
 GOOD I THITHING, TOO, AS THE 
 TECHNOLOGY WAS RECENTLY 
 APPROVED TO BE USED IN THE 
 UNITED STATES.
 ARE YOU PROUD OF IT?
 >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. 
 >> ABSOLUTELY.
 NOW, I LOOK AT IT AND SAY, I 
 WORK WITH A TEAM OF PEOPLE THAT
 INVENTED A NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT 
 HOPEFULLY CAN BE THE STANDARD 
 OF CARE.
 WE DID SOMETHING THAT'S 
 HELPING, AND THAT'S SOMETHING 
 THAT'S KIND OF THE END GOAL FOR
 ME.
 >> Reporter: COVID HAS BROUGHT 
 DEATH AND UP HEAVAL TO THE 
 WORLD, BUT THE INNOVATIONS IN 
 THE FIGHT AGAINST IT WILL 
 CHANGE THE WORLD.
 >> Andrew: NEXT UP ON "THE 
 NATIONAL," TURNING DOWN 
 TOURISM. 
 >> WE HAVE EVERY REASON TO TURN
 THEM DOWN AND NOT DEAL WITH AN
 >> Andrew: WELCOME BACK.
 MANY FIRST NATIONS COMMUNITIES 
 IN B.C. BENEFIT FROM TOURISM, 
 BUT THIS SEASON, SOME ARE 
 CHOOSING NOT TO WELCOME 
 VISITORS.
 WE PRESENT THE DECISIONS THAT 
 COMMUNITIES ARE FACING IN -- 
 PROBLEMS THAT COMMUNITIES ARE 
 FACING IN DECIDING WHEN OR HOW 
 TO REOPEN. 
 >> Reporter: AFTER AN 
 INDIGENOUS MEMBER DIED FROM 
 COVID IN APRIL, THE ISLAND SHUT
 ITSELF OFF FROM NONRESIDENTS. 
 >> I FIND IT ASTOUNDING THAT 
 PEOPLE WERE STILL WANTING TO 
 VISIT AND BE TOURISTS WHEN IT 
 WAS A TIME THAT WE SHOULD HAVE 
 BEEN STAYING HOME, WE SHOULD BE
 STAYING HOME.
 >> Reporter: NOW, THE COMMUNITY
 IS CAUTIOUSLY REOPENING. 
 >> CERTAINLY SHOULD BE BACK IN 
 BUSINESS, BUT NOWHERE NEAR WHAT
 IT WAS LIKE WHEN WE WERE IN THE
 MIDDLE OF IT. 
 >> Reporter: THE LACK OF 
 BUSINESS HAS HIT THE LOCAL 
 CULTURAL CENTRE, KNOWN FOR ITS 
 COLLECTION OF MASKS. 
 >> IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE TELL 
 OUR STORY TO THE REST OF THE 
 WORLD, AND WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR
 PEOPLE.
 IT TAKES A LOT OF MONEY TO 
 MAINTAIN THE OPERATIONS OF THE 
 CENTRE.
 >> Reporter: WHILE SOME 
 COMMUNITIES ARE CAUTIOUSLY 
 REOPENING, OTHERS ARE REMAINING
 FIRMLY CLOSED.
 LOCAL RESIDENTS TOOK TO THE 
 WATERS OFF HAIDA GWAN AFTER 
 OBJECTIONS FROM INDIGENOUS 
 LEADERS.
 MOST TOURISTS ARRIVING AT THESE
 CHECKPOINTS ARE COOPERATING, 
 BUT SOME HAVE BECOME HOSTILE 
 WHEN ASKED TO TURNAROUND.
 NEWHALL HEREDITARY CHIEF SAYS 
 THE MEASURES SAFEGUARD 
 VULNERABLE RESIDENTS.
 >> THE DANGER TO OUR ELDERS ARE
 HIGH. 
 >> Reporter: MANY PEOPLE ARE 
 AWARE OF THE FINANCIAL PAIN, 
 BUT THEY DON'T SEE A WAY OUT. 
 >> THE GENERAL MORAL AND 
 ETHICAL RESPONSE IS WE DON'T 
 WANT TO BE THE ONE TO BRING IT 
 HERE. 
 >> THIS NANAIMO COUPLE IS 
 SAILING UP THE COAST, BUT THEY 
 CHECKED UP ON THE RULES BEFORE 
 COMING TO SHORE. 
 >> THEY HAVE EVERY REASON TO 
 PROTECT THEMSELVES AND NOT 
 DEALING WITH AN ON SLAUGHT OF 
 PEOPLE COMING IN FROM WHERE, 
 DOING WHO KNOWS WHAT?
 >> GREG RASMUSSEN, ALERT BAY, 
 B.C.
 >> Andrew: WE'VE BEEN TAKING 
 YOU THROUGH THE STORIES BEHIND 
 THE LIVES LOST FROM COVID-19 IN
 A SPECIAL CALLED LIVED 
 REMEMBERED.
 HERE'S ALAN FEW'S DAUGHTER 
 LORI. 
 >> MY NAME IS LORI FEW.
 I LOST MY DAD, ALAN, TO 
 COVID-19 ON MAY 7, 2020.
 MY DAD WAS STEADFAST, PRAIRIE 
 GUY, BORN AND BRED IN 
 SASKATOON.
 MY MOM, TOO.
 THEY GOT MARRIED AND STAYED 
 MARRIED FOR 65 YEARS, UNTIL HE 
 DIED.
 MY DAD WAS A DRAFTSMAN, BUT THE
 TITLE, THE ROLE, REALLY, THAT 
 DEFINED MY DAD WAS SENSEI.
 MY DAD WAS A GODAN IN JUDO, 
 WHICH IS A FIFTH DAN, A BIG 
 DEAL.
 BUT THAT DIDN'T MEAN AS MUCH TO
 MY DAD AS BEING A LEADER FOR 
 YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE SPORT.
 HE'S IN THE SASKATCHEWAN SPORTS
 HALL OF FAME FOR LIVING THE 
 MEANING OF THAT WORD, SENSEI, 
 OR SPORTS TEACHER.
 BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP HIM FROM 
 DOING ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING 
 FROM ME.
 LIKE THE TIME I GOT A RUN IN MY
 NYLONS AT THE CANADIAN LAWYER 
 EVENT.
 HE JUMPED ON HIS MOTORCYCLE AND
 SHOWED UP AT THE EVENT WITH NOT
 ONE BUT TWO PAIRS OF NYLONS.
 DIFFERENT SHADES, TO MAKE SURE 
 HE HAD SOMETHING THAT MATCHED 
 MY OUTFIT.
 HE TAUGHT ME TO BE FEARLESS AND
 POWERLESS AND INDEPENDENT AND 
 NEVER, EVER TO THINK THAT BEING
 A GIRL WAS LESS THAN BEING A 
 BOY.
 MY BROTHER AND SISTER AND MOM 
 AND I COULDN'T BE WITH MY DAD 
 AT THE END.
 IF I COULD SAY ONE MORE THING, 
 ONE MORE TIME TO MY DAD, I 
 WOULD SAY YOU WERE A DAMNED 
 GOOD MAN, AND I'M GOING TO MISS
 YOU LIKE CRAZY.
 >> Andrew: THANK YOU, LORI FEW,
 FOR SHARING ALAN'S STORY
 >> Andrew: ERIN McKENZIE IS 
 USED TO HIKING.
 SHE HAS OVER A DECADE OF 
 EXPERIENCE, BUT THIS WEEK, SHE 
 HAD A TERRIFYING ENCOUNTER THAT
 SHE'D NEVER HAD BEFORE WITH A 
 BEAR.
 IT WAS A CLOSE CALL, AND IT 
 COULD HAVE ENDED DIFFERENTLY.
 HER INCREDIBLE STORY IS OUR 
 "MOMENT."
 I WENT FOR A RUN -- AND MY 
 BODY, I WAS STARTING TO 
 HYPERVENTILATE A LITTLE BIT, 
 AND I CALLED MY MOM AND STAYED 
 ON THE LINE WITH HER FOR ABOUT 
 40 MINUTES UNTIL I MADE MY WAY 
 BACK TO MY CAR.
 I THINK IT WAS JUST A CASE OF 
 BEING IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE
 WRONG TIME.
 MY FOUR DOGS WERE HIKING WITH 
 ME AT THE TIME, AND WE'RE ALL 
 LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. 
 >> Andrew: YEAH.
 GET THIS.
 THIS HAPPENED ON MONDAY OF THIS
 WEEK, AND SHE WAS BACK OUT 
 TODAY HIKING ON THE TRAIL.
 AND IT'S AMAZING HOW QUICKLY 
 THIS HAPPENED, HOW QUICKLY IT 
 ENDED.
 IT ALL MUST HAVE HAPPENED IN A 
 FLASH.
 PARKS CANADA, THEIR ADVICE?
 IF YOU'RE OUT ON A TRAIL, MAKE 
 NOISE.
 A BEAR BELL WORKS WELL FOR 
 THAT.
 >>> THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR 
 JULY 16.
 HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
