THE PLANE.
AND ADDED HEALTH QUESTIONS AT 
IMMIGRATION.
>> THERE IS ALSO ADDED SCREENING
TO IDENTIFY RETURNING TRAVELLERS
WHO MAY HAVE COME FROM WUHAN AND
WHO MAY HAVE RESPIRATORY 
SYMPTOMS. 
>> Reporter:  ALL PART OF 
CANADA'S MULTIPRONGED APPROACH 
AIMED AT EARLY DETECTION OF THE 
VIRUS.
EXPERTS SAY THE REAL FRONT LINE 
IN THIS OUTBREAK WILL BE OUR 
HOSPITALS, CLINICS, AND DOCTORS'
OFFICES.
>> AND WE HAVE BEEN REINFORCING 
THAT MESSAGE MULTIPLE TIMES TO 
KEEP OUR CLINICIANS, BOTH IN THE
HOSPITAL SETTINGS AND IN THE 
OUTPATIENT SETTING, ON ALERT, TO
BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THOSE CASES 
EARLIER.
>> Reporter:  THE BC CENTRE FOR 
DISEASE CONTROL HAS DEVELOPED A 
DIAGNOSTICIC TEST FOR THE NEW 
CORONAVIRUS.
THERE WAS NO SIMILAR TEST 
AVAILABLE DURING THE 2002 
S.A.R.S. OUTBREAK.
FOR ITS PART, CHINA IS 
IMPLEMENTING DRASTIC NEW 
MEASURES TO TRY TO HALT THE 
SPREAD OF THE VIRUS, EFFECTIVELY
QUARANTINING WUHAN THE CITY 
WHERE IT ORIGINATED.
ALL FLIGHTS AND TRAINS 
CANCELLED. 
>> THIS IS AN EVOLVING AND 
COMPLEX SITUATION.
>> Reporter:  DESPITE A SHARP 
RISE IN THE NUMBER OF CONFIRMED 
CASES, INCLUDING ONE IN 
WASHINGTON STATE, THE WORLD 
HEALTH ORGANIZATION SAYS IT 
NEEDS MORE TIME AND INFORMATION 
BEFORE MAKING A DECISION ON

LOCAL EXPERTS AND OFFICIALS TO 
INVESTIGATE THE OUTBREAK AND GET

MASKS.
THEY ARE SOLD OUT. 
>> WE HAVE SOLD IT FOR MANY, 
MANY YEARS AND NEVER I HAVE SEEN

THERE'S NO EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST 
THAT A MASK PROVIDES ANY 
PROTECTION FROM THE VIRUS.
[♪♪♪]
>> Anita:  WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS
OUT OF WASHINGTON STATE RIGHT 
NOW.
SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HURT 
AFTER A SHOOTING IN DOWNTOWN 
SEATTLE.
>> Mike:  DAN BURRITT IS HERE 
LIVE FOLLOWING THIS.
DAN, WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR?
>> Dan:  IT HAPPENED JUST BLOCKS
FROM PYKE PLACE MARKET THIS 
AFTERNOON.
WE HAVE LIVE SHOTS OF DOWNTOWN 
SEATTLE NOW.
THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NEAR 
4TH AND PINE STREET.
THIS HAPPENED IN A BUSY SHOPPING
AREA, IF YOU KNOW DOWNTOWN AT 
ALL, AND NEAR A PARK AS WELL.
WEST LAKE PARK.
SEATTLE POLICE SAY THERE WERE 
MULTIPLE VICTIMS.
A SUSPECT HAS FLED, AND POLICE 
ARE SEARCHING FOR HIM RIGHT NOW.
OFFICERS AND MEDICS ARE GIVING 
FIRST AID TO THE INJURED.
NOW, THIS SHOOTING COMES JUST A 
DAY AFTER A MAN IN HIS 50s WAS 
SHOT INSIDE SEATTLE'S WEST LAKE 
CENTRE, WHICH IS RIGHT IN THAT 
NEIGHBOURHOOD.
HE LATER DIED IN HOSPITAL.
THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST 
THAT THESE TWO SHOOTINGS ARE 
LINKED AT THE MOMENT, BUT YOU 
CAN SEE MORE OF THAT FOOTAGE 
THERE.
THAT'S JUST NEAR 4TH AND PINE.
AGAIN WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY 
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SHOT, WHAT THE 
EXTENT OF THEIR INJURIES ARE.
POLICE AT LAST CHECK ON TWITTER 
SAID THAT THEY ARE SEARCHING FOR
THE SUSPECT, AND THEY HAVE 
"MULTIPLE VICTIMS." 
SO AT THE MOMENT, THAT'S WHAT WE
KNOW FROM SEATTLE AND ANY 
UPDATES WE'LL BRING THEM TO YOU 
TONIGHT AT 11.
>> Mike:  DAN BURRITT LIVE 
TONIGHT.
THANKS VERY MUCH. 
>> Anita:  A SENIOR HAS DIED IN 
HOSPITAL AFTER BEING HIT BY A

RICHARDS IN YALETOWN.
HER HUSBAND IS STILL IN HOSPITAL
AND HE IS BADLY HURT.
THE 37-YEAR-OLD DRIVER OF THE 
VEHICLE IS COOPERATING WITH 
POLICE.
>>> AND IN SURREY, A 55-YEAR-OLD
MAN IS DIED AFTER BEING HIT BY A
VEHICLE THIS MORNING.
SURREY RCMP SAY THE CRASH 
HAPPENED JUST AFTER 7 A.M. NEAR 
24TH AVENUE AND 188TH STREET.
THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE STAYED
AT THE SCENE AND IS ALSO 
COOPERATING WITH POLICE.
THE RCMP'S CRIMINAL COLLISION 
TEAM HAS TAKEN OVER THE 
INVESTIGATION.
>> Mike:  PROTESTERS ARRESTED 
DURING AN OCCUPATION OF 
PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OFFICES 
OVER THE COASTAL GASLINK 
PIPELINE.
PROTESTERS CAME IN SUPPORT OF 
WET'SUWET'EN HEREDITARY CHIEFS 
WHO OPPOSE LNG PIPELINE PROJECTS
IN NORTHERN BC.
THE GROUP STAGED A SIT-IN, 
BLOCKING THE ENTRANCE TO THE 
MINISTRY OF ENERGY, MINES AND 
PETROLEUM FOR 18 HOURS STARTING 
AT 11 A.M.
LATER A GROUP OF 50 YOUNG PEOPLE

NO CHARGES HAVE BEEN LAID ON THE
12 PEOPLE WHO WERE TAKEN INTO 
CUSTODY.
>> Anita:  WELL, PREMIER HORGAN

CABINET.
THE FIRST SHUFFLE SINCE TAKING

>> I KNOW THESE THREE MINISTERS 
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK EVERY DAY 
TO DELIVER GOOD JOBS AND A 
BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR 
BRITISH COLUMBIANS IN EVERY 
CORNER OF OUR SPECTACULAR 
PROVINCE.
>> Anita:  THEY ARE FILING 
VACANCIES AND SWAPPING 
PORTFOLIOS BETWEEN TWO 
MINISTERS.
ANNE KANG IS NOW MINISTER OF 
CITIZEN SERVICES, VACANT SINCE 
SIMS RETIRED IN OCTOBER, AMID AN
RCMP INVESTIGATION INTO 
ALLEGATIONS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN 
MADE PUBLIC.
MINISTERS MICHELLE MUNGAL AND 
BRUCE RALSTON HAVE TRADED 
PORTFOLIOS.

>> Mike:  IT WAS THE CROWN'S 
TURN TODAY AT THE MENG WANZHOU 
EXTRADITION HEARING LAYING OUT 
ITS CASE IN RECORD TIME.
>> Anita:  AS THE CBC'S JASON 
PROCTOR REPORTS, IT'S A SIMPLE 
CASE. 
>> Reporter:  THE CROWN LAWYER 
STARTED HIS ARGUMENT BY TELLING 
ASSOCIATE CHIEF JUSTICE HEATHER 
HOLMES THAT THE CASE WAS NOT 
GOING TO BE COMPLEX AGAINST MENG
WANZHOU.
LYING TO A BANK AND CAUSING THEM
TO RISK LOSS AS A RESULT IS 
FRAUD, PLAIN AND SIMPLE, HE 
SAID.
IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A CRIME 
IN CANADA, THE SAME AS IN THE 
UNITED STATES, WHICH IS WHY THE 
CROWN WANTS THE HUAWEI CHIEF 
FINANCIAL OFFICER EXTRADITED TO 
THE U.S.
FRASER'S ARGUMENT TOOK LESS THAN
THREE HOURS AS OPPOSED TO NEARLY
TWO DAYS OF ARGUMENTS FROM 
MENG'S LAWYERS.
MENG IS ACCUSED OF LYING TO 
BANKS ABOUT HUAWEI'S CONTROL OF 
A COMPANY ACCUSED OF VIOLATING 
U.S. ECONOMIC SANCTIONS AGAINST 
IRAN, PUTTING THOSE BANKS AT 
RISK AS A RESULT.
HER LAWYERS SAY THAT BECAUSE 
CANADA DOESN'T HAVE ECONOMIC 
SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN, HER 
ALLEGED CONDUCT WOULD NOT BE A 
CRIME IF IT OCCURRED HERE AND SO
WOULD NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENT 
OF DOUBLE CRIMINALITY NEEDED FOR
EXTRADITION.
BUT FRASER SAYS THE FACTS OF THE
CASE ARE ABOUT FRAUD.
A PERSON TELLS A LIE AND THE LIE
CAUSES LOSS.
THE PERSON KNEW THEY WERE 
TELLING A LIE AND THEY KNEW THE 
LOSS IT MIGHT CAUSE.
THE JUDGE ASKED ABOUT THE 
CONTEXT OF THE ALLEGATIONS WHICH
DOES COME BACK TO SANCTIONS, AND
FREIGHTER SAID THAT MAY BE 
HELPFUL TO UNDERSTAND THE 
CONTEXT OF THE RISK THE BANKS 
WERE FACING.
HE ALSO TOLD THE JUDGE THAT IT'S
NOT HER PLACE TO DECIDE WHETHER 
FOREIGN LAWS, LIKE SANCTIONS, 
OFFEND CANADIANS.
THAT, HE SAID, IS UP TO CANADA'S
JUSTICE MINISTER, WHO WILL 
LIKELY FACE SOME TOUGH CHOICES 
WITH REGARDS TO MENG WANZHOU NO 
MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.
THE CASE WILL WRAP HERE ON 
THURSDAY AFTER WHICH THE JUDGE 
WILL BE LEFT WITH HER DECISION.
JASON PROCTOR, CBC NEWS, 
VANCOUVER.

>> Anita:  ALL RIGHT.
MOST OF US LIVE IN ONE OF THE 
LEAST AFFORDABLE AREAS OF THE 
COUNTRY.
TONIGHT, WE CONTINUE OUR 
TREADING WATER SERIES, LOOKING 
AT HOW MANY PEOPLE STRUGGLE TO 
MAKE ENDS MEET. 
>> Mike:  IN NEW WESTMINSTER, 
THERE IS A UNIQUE PROGRAM TO 
BRING MORE RENTAL ACCOMMODATION 
TO THE CITY.
CBC'S NICKI COWAN NOW ON HOW IT 
WORKS AND WHO IT BENEFITS. 
>> ISN'T VERY BIG AND STUFF BUT 
IT WORKS. 
>> Reporter:  ON FULL 
DISABILITY, NEW WESTMINSTER 
RESIDENT AARON GETS ONLY $375 A 
MONTH FOR HOUSING FINDING A 
WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE PLACE FOR 
THAT PRICE ON THE LOWER MAINLAND
MARKET VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE.
>> VERY DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE 
WITH OTHER DISABILITIES LIKE ME.
IT'S, LIKE -- IT'S VERY, VERY 
CHALLENGING. 
>> Reporter:  HE HAS CEREBRAL 
PALSY AND A CURVED SPINE, MAKING
GETTING AROUND TOUGH, UNABLE TO 
AFFORD HIS OWN PLACE, HE HAS 
BEEN LIVING WITH HIS GRANDMOTHER
FOR YEARS.
BUT WITH A BIT OF LUCK, HE WAS 
ABLE TO GET INTO THE ONE OF THE 
CITY'S NEWEST AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROJECTS. 
>> RIGHT NOW I FEEL LIKE I'M THE
KING OF THE WORLD RIGHT NOW, 
MAN. 
>> Reporter:  HIS NEW HOME WAS 
MADE POSSIBLE BY A LAND DONATION
FROM THE CITY. 
>> WITHOUT THAT SUPPORT, THIS 
PROJECT JUST WOULD NOT BE 
VIABLE. 
>> Reporter:  THIS PROJECT WAS 
SUCH A SUCCESS, THE CITY OF NEW 
WESTMINSTER IS LOOKING TO DO IT 
AGAIN.
IT'S REQUESTING PROPOSALS FOR 
ANOTHER NON-PROFIT AFFORDABLE 
HOUSING PROJECT AND IT'S 
OFFERING MORE LAND FOR FREE.
>> THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO 
PREVIOUSLY DIDN'T HAVE HOUSING 
WHO NOW HAVE HOUSING, STABILIZED
FOR LIVES AND ARE A PART OF THE 
COMMUNITY.
AS A CITY, WE REALLY FEEL THAT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT.
>> Reporter:  FOUR CONNECTED 
PLOTS OF LAND ARE UP FOR OFFER.
THE MARKET PRICE:  AROUND $4 
MILLION.
BUT THE CITY OF NEW WESTMINSTER 
SAYS IT WILL GIVE IT FOR FREE TO
A NON-PROFIT TO BUILD AFFORDABLE
HOUSING.
EXPERTS SAY INITIATIVES LIKE 
THIS ARE KEY.
>> I THINK THE ABSOLUTE COSTS 
OF -- OF BUILDING ARE QUITE 
HIGH.
WE ARE LIVING IN A 
LAND-CONSTRAINED REGION.
LAND IS VERY PRECIOUS HERE.
AND THE PRICE OF LAND KEEPS 
INCREASING.
>> Reporter:  THE BREAK ON THE 
LAND COSTS MEANS BETTER MARGINS 
ON BUILDING AFFORDABLE UNITS, 
AND FOR THE RESIDENTS WHO NEED 
IT ...
>> IT ACTUALLY FELT AMAZING FOR 
ME BECAUSE I CAN FINALLY DO 
WHATEVER I WANT WITHOUT ANYBODY 
BEING OVER MY SHOULDER, YOU 
KNOW.
IT'S, LIKE, AMAZING. 
>> Reporter:  HOUSING THAT HAS 
THE POWER TO CHANGE LIVES.
MICKI COWAN, CBC NEWS, NEW 
WESTMINSTER.
>> Anita:  WELL, MAPLE RIDGE'S 
OWN LARRY WALKER ANNOUNCED TODAY
HE'LL BE ENTERING THE BASEBALL 
HALL OF FAME AS A COLORADO 
ROCKIES AND NOW AS A MONTRÉAL 
EXPO. 
>> WILL BE A ROCKIES' HAT THAT 
I'LL BE WEARING TO THE HALL OF 
FAME.
IT'S A HARD DECISION, BEING A 
CANADIAN, BUT I FEEL WITH ALL 
THE AT-BATS, GAMES PLAYED, 
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN 
COLORADO, THE YEARS SPENT THERE,
REALLY SEEMS LIKE THE RIGHT 
DECISION, AND WE ALL AGREED ON 
THAT.
SO -- BUT ALL THREE TEAMS WILL 
BE ON THAT PLAQUE REPRESENTED, 
AND I'M HONOURED THAT I GOT TO 
PUT ALL THREE OF THOSE UNIFORMS 
ON.
>> Anita:  WALKER LEARNED 
YESTERDAY HE'D BECOME JUST THE 
SECOND CANADIAN ELECTED TO THE 
HALL.
HE MADE IT IN HIS TENTH AND LAST
YEAR OF ELIGIBILITY AFTER MUCH 
CAMPAIGNING FROM BOTH FANS AND 
ANALYSTS.
[♪♪♪]
HAS BEEN WORKING ON HIS ARC ALL 
DAY.
[ Laughter ]
>> Mike:  OTHER THINGS TO TRY TO
STAY DRY.
BUT I DON'T THINK YOU WILL HAVE 
MUCH SUCCESS. 
>> Brett:  REALLY NOT.
I HOPE YOU BROUGHT YOUR WADERS 
INTO WORK TODAY BECAUSE WE 
BASICALLY NEEDED THAT OUT THERE.
AND THIS TREND OF WET WEATHER IS
SIMPLY CONTINUING ON.
LAST WEEK, SNOWFALL WARNINGS AND
RIGHT NOW, REPLACED BY THE 
MILDER VERSION.
WE HAVE RAINFALL WARNINGS IN 
EFFECT.
SO THIS INCLUDES THE CITY OF 
VANCOUVER AND BURNABY, UP TO 80 
MILLIMETRES POSSIBLE.
AND ANYWHERE ON VANCOUVER 
ISLAND, HOWEVER, THAT YOU ARE 
SEEING IN GREEN, THAT'S THE 
POTENTIAL FOR UP TO 120 
MILLIMETRES.
FARTHER TO THE NORTH AND WEST, 
STILL GUSTY UP THERE.
HAIDA GWAII SEEING LOCAL GUSTS 
UP TO 110 KILOMETRES AN HOUR, 
AND INTO THE INTERIOR, WE HAVE A
SNOWFALL WARNING.
SO NOT US ANYMORE, BUT THIS IS 
GOING TO BE FOR TRAVEL ALONG 
HIGHWAY 3.
TONIGHT ANYWHERE BETWEEN 15 TO 
25 CENTIMETRES COULD BE FALLING.
IN THE INTERIOR, WE HAVE A 
PRETTY LOCAL PHENOMENON THAT'S 
KIND OF CATCHING PEOPLE OFF 
GUARD.
THIS IS GOING TO BE CALLED AN 
ICE DISC.
AND I WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT'S 
GOING ON HERE.
THIS IS STILL IN KAMLOOPS, IN 
THE SOUTH THOMPSON RIVER.
A BIT MORE INTERESTING.
ROTATING AROUND FAIRLY STEADILY.
PROBABLY CAUGHT UP IN AN EDDY 
CURRENT THERE.
MAKES FOR ENTERTAINING WATCHING.
DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME.
SOMETHING TO WATCH AS THE TIME 
GOES ON.
AND CLOSER TO HOME, I'M, OF 
COURSE, KEEPING AN EYE ON THE 
RADAR.
WE'RE SEEING HEAVY RAIN RIGHT 
NOW, AND THAT'S THE TREND FOR 
THE NEXT LITTLE WHILE.
TEMPERATURES AT LEAST FAIRLY 
MIDDLE, COMPARED TO WHERE WE 
WERE LAST WEEK, AND IN TERMS OF 
OUR FORECAST -- ON THE NOTE OF 
MILD, LOOK AT THIS, TOMORROW 
AFTERNOON, MAYBE 10º.
MIGHT EVEN BIT A BIT WARM THAN 
THAT.
>> Anita:  YOU LOVE THE ICE 
DISCS.
PRETTY COOL. 
>> Brett:  PRETTY GREAT, HEY?
[ Laughter ]
>> Anita:  THANK YOU. 
>> Mike:  YOU CAN WATCH THIS E 
NEWSCAST LIVE ON CBC GEM, THE

HOW U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP 
IS KEEPING TABS ON HIS OWN 
IMPEACHMENT TRIAL FROM HALF A 
WORLD AWAY.
[♪♪♪]
>> Anita:  WELL, FIVE DAYS AFTER
A POWERFUL BLIZZARD BURIED 
SWATHS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, ST. 
JOHN'S INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT 
REOPENED TODAY.
>> Mike:  YES, CBC'S BRETT 
RUSKIN SPEAKING WITH FAMILIES 
AND TOURISTS AND EVERYONE IN 
BETWEEN. 
>> Reporter:  WELL, AFTER NEARLY
A WEEK OF BEING SHUT DOWN, THE 
ST. JOHN'S INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
IS ONCE AGAIN BACK UP AND 
RUNNING WITH COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS 
DEPARTING AND ARRIVING.
SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WAITING
TO LEAVE ST. JOHN'S BUT COULDN'T
BECAUSE OF THIS RECORD SNOWFALL 
THAT FELL OVER THE LAST WEEK OR 
SO.
AND SO WE HEARD FROM, FOR 
EXAMPLE, A GROUP OF PROFESSIONAL
SNOWBOARDERS THAT WERE HERE 
SHOOTING A FILM, AND THEY GOT 
DELAYED, BUT THEY ALSO GOT A LOT
MORE SNOW TO USE. 
>> YOU KNOW, BEING IN A 
HURRICANE MADE OUT OF SNOW.
SO IT WAS QUITE THRILLING, AND 
IT MADE OUR TRIP ACTUALLY BETTER
BECAUSE WE STAYED A LITTLE BIT 
LONGER, HUNG OUT WITH THE 
COMMUNITY MORE AND DID SOME MORE
SNOWBOARDING. 
>> Reporter:  PEOPLE WERE LIVING
IN ST. JOHN'S BUT WEREN'T ABLE 
TO COME HOME AND DEAL WITH THESE
HUGE SNOW BANKS.
>> IT WAS REALLY NICE TO SEE ALL
THE NEWFOUNDLANDERS COMING 
TOGETHER AND, YES, I MEAN, I 
EXPECTED NOTHING LESS.
SO I'M VERY HAPPY TO BE HOME. 
>> I WANTED TO BE HERE TO BE 
ABLE TO HELP AND CLEAN UP.
GOT THROUGH IT WITH OUR 
NEIGHBOURS AND TENANTS. 
>> Reporter:  ALSO HEARD FROM 
OFFICIALS AS WELL.
THE STATE OF EMERGENCY IS STILL 
IN EFFECT.
WE HEARD FROM THE COMMANDER OF 
THE ATLANTIC CANADA REGION OF 
THE ROYAL CANADIAN ARMED FORCES 
ARMY.
HERE'S WHAT HE HAD TO SAY FOR 
THE TIMELINE GOING FORWARD FOR 
THE REMOVAL OF ALL THIS SNOW. 
>> WE'RE ASSESSING THAT ON A 
DAILY BASIS.
WE HAVE THREE OFFICERS THAT ARE 
EMBEDDED RIGHT NOW WITH THE 
PROVINCIAL -- PROVINCIAL 
EMERGENCY OPERATION CENTRE.
>> Reporter:  SO THE STATE OF 
EMERGENCY IS STILL IN EFFECT.
PEOPLE ARE BEING ADVISED TO NOT 
DRIVE ON THE ROADS UNLESS THEY 
NEED TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE,
THE PHARMACY TO GET GAS AT THE 
GAS STATION, OR TO GO TO MEDICAL
APPOINTMENTS.
TAXIS ARE ONCE AGAIN ABLE TO 
RUN.
THERE IS ALSO A FURNACE OIL 
DELIVERY THAT CAN TAKE PLACE.
AGAIN, THE STATE OF EMERGENCY IS
STILL IN EFFECT TO TRY TO KEEP 
THE ROADS AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE 
AS CREWS CONTINUE THE MONUMENTAL
TASK OF CLEARING AWAY ALL THIS 
SNOW.
BRETT RUSKIN, CBC NEWS, ST. 
JOHN'S. 
>> Mike:  YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU 
LOOK AT THE IMAGES FROM 
NEWFOUNDLAND, THE SNOW IS 
STILL -- I MEAN, THEY HAVE 
CLEARED THE STREETS PRETTY MUCH 
AND WHAT HAVE YOU.
BUT THE SNOW IS STILL THERE. 
>> Anita:  TAKES A LONG TIME TO 
MELT. 
>> Mike:  UNLIKE HERE, WHERE WE 
HAD A SUPPOSEDLY BIG DUMP OF 
SNOW AND NOW IT'S ALL GONE. 
>> Anita:  IT'S STILL COLD 
THERE.
GETTING HARD AND -- 
>> Mike:  DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT 
THING. 
>> Anita:  WE'LL BE BACK IN A 
FEW MOMENTS WITH WHAT'S MAKING 
HEADLINES ELSEWHERE IN THE 
WORLD.

>> Anita:  OPENING ARGUMENTS 
BEGAN IN THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL 
OF DONALD TRUMP TODAY.
THE U.S. PRESIDENT FACING 
CHARGES OF ABUSE OF POWER AND 
OBSTRUCTION OF CONGRESS. 
>> Anita:  AS THE CBC'S KATIE 
SIMPSON REPORTS, THE DEFENDANT 
IS WATCHING THE PROCEEDINGS FROM
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC.
[♪♪♪]
>> Reporter:  URGING SENATORS TO
LEAVE PARTISANSHIP AT THE DOOR, 
DEMOCRATS ARE MAKING THEIR CASE 
TO HAVE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP 
REMOVED FROM OFFICE.
>> I HAVE TO HOPE THAT SOME, IF 
NOT ALL OF THE SENATORS, WILL 
ABIDE BY THAT OATH AND WILL HEAR
US WITH AN OPEN MIND.
BUT EVEN IF THEY DON'T, I DO 
EXPECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE 
WATCHING, AND I THINK AMERICAN 
PEOPLE ARE LISTENING.
AND THEY DO HAVE AN OPEN MIND. 
>> Reporter:  FOR THE NEXT THREE
DAYS, HOUSE IMPEACHMENT MANAGERS
LEAD BY ADAM SCHIFF WILL OUTLINE
WHAT THEY SAY IS A CLEAR-CUT 
EXAMPLE OF ABUSE OF POWER.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP WITHHELD 
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS 
IN MILITARY AID TO A STRATEGIC 
PARTNER AT WAR WITH RUSSIA TO 
SECURE FOREIGN HELP WITH HIS 
RE-ELECTION, IN OTHER WORDS, TO 
CHEAT.
>> Reporter:  SINCE THERE WILL 
BE NO CHANCE FOR EXCHANGES 
DURING OPENING ARGUMENTS, THIS 
PART OF THE TRIAL IS EXPECTED TO
BE LESS TENSE THAN WHAT UNFOLDED
OVERNIGHT. 
>> DEVISE THE LAW TO WITHHOLD 
AID FROM UKRAINE.
DEFIES THE LAW IN A DOZEN 
DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. 
>> YOU OWE AN APOLOGY TO THE 
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 
AND HIS FAMILY. 
>> Reporter:  THE CHIEF JUSTICE 
HAD TO STEP IN WHEN A DISPUTE 
OVER THE TRIAL'S FORMAT BECAME 
TOO HEATED. 
>> I THINK IT IS APPROPRIATE AT 
THIS POINT FOR ME TO ADMONISH 
BOTH THE HOUSE MANAGERS AND THE 
PRESIDENT'S COUNSEL IN EQUAL 
TERMS TO REMEMBER THAT THEY ARE 
ADDRESSING THE WORLD'S GREATEST 
DELIBERATIVE BODY. 
>> Reporter:  THE PRESIDENT WAS 
CLEARLY WATCHING FROM THE 
SIDELINES AT THE WORLD ECONOMIC 
FORUM IN SWITZERLAND, AS HE HAD 
PERSONAL INSULTS FOR THE 
DEMOCRATS LEADING HIS 
PROSECUTION. 
>> President Donald Trump:  
FIRST OF ALL, GERALD NADLER.
I HAVE KNOWN HIM A LONG TIME.
HE IS A SLEAZE BAG. 
>> Reporter:  DEMOCRATS REMAIN 
FRUSTRATED.
THEY DON'T HAVE ANY GUARANTEES 
THAT NEW WITNESSES OR EVIDENCE 
WILL BE ADMITTED, WHICH THEY SAY
IS UNFAIR.
MOST REPUBLICANS WANT A SWIFT 
TRIAL, THOUGH SOME HAVE 
SUGGESTED THEY MIGHT BE OPEN TO 
THE IDEA OF NEW WITNESSES AND 
NEW EVIDENCE AT A LATER POINT IN
THE TRIAL.
KATIE SIMPSON, CBC NEWS, 
WASHINGTON.
>> Anita:  WELL, A POPULAR 
CONSERVATIVE SAYS SHE STRUGGLED

FORMER ALBERTA M.P. AND ONE-TIME
INTERIM PARTY LEADER RONA 
AMBROSE SAYS SHE WILL NOT RUN TO

FORMER M.P. AND STEPHEN 
HARPER-ERA CABINET MINISTER 
PETER MacKAY AND ONTARIO M.P.'S 
MARYLIN GLADEAU AND ERIC SLOAN.
THEY WILL CHOOSE THE NEW LEADER 
THIS JUNE.
>> Mike:  OPENING ARGUMENTS 
STARTED AT THE HARVEY WEINSTEIN 
TRIAL MORE THAN TWO YEARS SINCE 
ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM 
TRIGGERED THE #METOO MOVEMENT.
THE FORMER MOGUL IS CHARGED WITH
SEXUALLY ASSAULTING TWO WOMEN. 
>> Anita:  MORE THAN 80 OTHERS 
HAVE ALSO ACCUSED HIM OF 
MISCONDUCT AND WE KNOW THAT TOM 
OF THEM WILL BE -- SOME OF THEM 
WILL BE ASKED TO TAKE THE STAND.
HERE'S MORE ON THAT STORY.
>> Reporter:  HARVEY WEINSTEIN 
MADE QUITE THE ENTRANCE FOR THE 
FIRST DAY OF OPENING ARGUMENTS 
IN HIS CRIMINAL TRIAL.
NO LONGER USING A WALKER, THE 
NOW-DISGRACED PRODUCER SEEMED 
CONFIDENT WALKING INTO THE 
COURTHOUSE. 
>> DO YOU THINK YOU'LL GET A 
FAIR TRIAL TODAY?
>> YES. 
>> WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT?
>> I HAVE GOOD LAWYERS.
>> Reporter:  IN OPENING 
ARGUMENTS, PROSECUTORS USED THE 
WORDS SEXUAL PREDATOR AND RAPIST
REPEATEDLY WHEN REFERRING TO 
WEINSTEIN.
THE ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY,
MEGAN HAT, SAYING THE MAN SEATED
RIGHT THERE WAS NOT JUST A TITAN
IN HOLLYWOOD, HE WAS A RAPIST.
AT TIMES, THEY WENT INTO GRAPHIC
DETAIL ABOUT THE VICTIMS' 
ALLEGED ASSAULTS AND SAID 
WEINSTEIN USED HIS POWER TO 
SILENCE HIS VICTIMS.
BOTH ACCUSERS IN THIS CASE WERE 
IN COURT, INCLUDING MIMI 
HALLETT, WHO ALLEGED SHE WAS 
SEXUALLY ASSAULTED IN 2006.
THE SECOND ACCUSER WAS 
IDENTIFIED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
COURT TODAY AS AN ASPIRING 
ACTRESS NAMED JESSICA MANN WHO 
ALLEGES SHE WAS RAPED BY 
WEINSTEIN IN 2013.
THE COURT WAS TOLD IT WILL HEAR 
TESTIMONY FROM FOUR WITNESSES TO
PROVE A PATTERN OF BEHAVIOUR.
OTHER WOMEN WHO ALSO ALLEGE 
WEINSTEIN'S ASSAULTED THEM.
WEINSTEIN'S DEFENCE LAWYERS PUSH
BACK, SAYING THEY'LL INTRODUCE 
EVIDENCE TO PROVE THE 
RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE WOMEN 
WERE CONSENSUAL.
THEY WILL POINT TO WHAT THEY 
REFER TO AS LOVING E-MAILS AND 
EXCHANGES BETWEEN WEINSTEIN AND 
THE VICTIMS AFTER THE ALLEGED 
ASSAULTS TOOK PLACE.
LAWYER GLORIA ALLRED, WHO 
REPRESENTS ONE OF WEINSTEIN'S 
ACCUSERS AND ONE WITNESS, SAYS 
THOSE LETTERS DON'T MEAN THE 
ACCUSATIONS AREN'T TRUE.
>> THE FACT THAT THERE IS 
CONTINUED COMMUNICATION BETWEEN 
A PERSON WHO ALLEGES SHE IS A 
VICTIM AFTER THE TIME OR TIMES 
IN WHICH SHE ALLEGES SHE WAS 
VICTIMIZED DOES NOT VITIATE OR 
MEAN THAT THERE WAS NO SEXUAL 
ASSAULT. 
>> Reporter:  SEVEN MEN AND FIVE
WOMEN ARE SERVING AS JURORS AND 
WILL ULTIMATELY DECIDE 
WEINSTEIN'S FATE IN COMING 
WEEKS.

THE CATCH IS IT'S FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING UNITS.
NOW OTHER CITIES ARE LOOKING TO 
FOLLOW SUIT.

>> Mike:  WELL, THERE ARE NO 
CONFIRMED CASES OF THE NEW CHINA
CORONAVIRUS IN CANADA, BUT THERE
WERE WARNINGS THAT COULD CHANGE 
QUICKLY.
>> Anita:  AND WITH MEMORIES OF 
THE DEADLY 2002 S.A.R.S. 
OUTBREAK, THE DEFENCES ARE 
ALREADY BEING SET UP.
VIK ADHOPIA TAKES US ON A TOUR 
OF THE FRONT LINES.
>> Reporter:  AT THIS EMERGENCY 
DEPARTMENT IN NORTHWEST TORONTO,
THEY ARE NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES.
ALONG WITH BLOOD PRESSURE AND 
OTHER VITAL INFORMATION, 
QUESTIONS ABOUT FOREIGN TRAVEL. 
>> HAVE YOU TRAVELLED OUTSIDE OF
CANADA IN THE LAST 30 DAYS?
>> ALL OF THE LOGISTICS ARE 
MAPPED OUT HERE, AND WE'RE ABLE 
TO ACT ON EACH ONE OF THEM. 
>> Reporter:  STAFF MONITOR THE 
ENTIRE FACILITY'S VITAL SIGNS.
THIS NEW HOSPITAL WAS BUILT WITH
OUTBREAKS IN MIND. 
>> I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW 
INCREDIBLY UNPREPARED WE WERE 
FOR SARS.
WE'RE IN SUCH A BETTER POSITION 
NOW. 
>> Reporter:  THE HOSPITAL'S 
CHIEF OF STAFF WAS IN THE THICK 
OF THE SARS CRISIS 17 YEARS AGO,
WHEN WEAK PROTOCOLS SPURRED ON 
THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. 
>> IT WAS ABOUT RUNNING AROUND 
AND TRYING TO BUY 
RESPIRATORIORS.
TRYING TO SET UP NEGATIVE 
PRESSURE ROOMS AND HIRING 
ADDITIONAL SCREENERS AND THINGS 
LIKE THAT.
THOSE THINGS ARE KIND OF BAKED 
INTO OUR SYSTEM NOW.
>> Reporter:  AIRPORTS ARE 
STEPPING UP SCREENING OF 
INTERNATIONAL TRAVELLERS, BUT 
THEY MAY NOT SHOW ANY SYMPTOMS 
DURING THEIR FLIGHTS.
SO HOSPITALS REMAIN AT THE FRONT
LINES IF THE OUTBREAK SPREADS.
>> IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE
ISOLATE THOSE PATIENTS RIGHT 
AWAY.
>> Reporter:  AT ANOTHER TORONTO
HOSPITAL, THERE IS A PALPABLE 
SENSE OF READINESS.
THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT HAS 
DEALT WITH CASES THAT TESTED 
NEGATIVE FOR THE CORONAVIRUS. 
>> WE HAVE HAD THREE PATIENTS 
THAT HAVE COME IN WITH A TRAVEL 
HISTORY THAT PRESENTED WITH 
THESE SYMPTOMS.
THEY HAVE DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB 
OF GETTING THE PATIENTS INTO THE
APPROPRIATE ISOLATION RIGHT 
AWAY. 
>> Reporter:  THE DEPARTMENT 
MANAGER IS ANOTHER VETERAN OF 
THE SARS CRISIS. 
>> I THINK PEOPLE HAVE TO 
APPRECIATE THAT IT'S NOT THE 
SAME AS SARS, IT'S NOT 
PRESENTING THE SAME.
IT HASN'T -- THE NUMBERS AREN'T 
THE SAME.
THE DEATH RATE, THE MORTALITY 
RATE IS NOT THE SAME.
AS LONG AS WE KEEP AN EYE ON IT,
I THINK WE SHOULD BE WELL 
PREPARED.
>> Anita:  PREPARED AND READY 
FOR IF TOMORROW THE W.H.O. 
DECLARES A NEW GLOBAL HEALTH 
EMERGENCY.

>> Mike:  6:30 WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
LIVE SHOT OF DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER.
THE UNSETTLED PATTERN OF WEATHER
CONTINUED TODAY, AND GUESS WHAT,
YEAH, IT'S NOT GOING AWAY.
BRETT IS GOING
[♪♪♪]
>> Anita:  AN HISTORIC AREA OF 
ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND, 
RECOVERY IS HAPPENING FROM NOT 
JUST THE POWERFUL BLIZZARD, BUT 
ALSO FROM AN AVALANCHE THAT HIT 
THE COMMUNITY DURING THE STORM.
>> Mike:  AS CLEAN-UP EFFORTS 
CONTINUE, CHRIS O'NEIL YATES IS 
LOOKING AT HOW RESIDENTS ARE 
TRYING TO GET BACK TO NORMAL. 
>> Reporter:  YOU CAN SEE IT'S 
SURROUNDED BY CLIFFS AND ON THE 
TOP HERE IS SIGNAL HILL OF ST. 
JOHN'S.
SO THE SNOW CAME DOWN ON THIS 
HILL RIGHT HERE, CAME DOWN OFF 
THE CLIFF AND LODGED BEHIND THIS
HOUSE.
IT'S AN AVALANCHE THAT PUSHED 
THROUGH THE WINDOW.
IT PUSHED THE WINDOW OUT AND IT 
PUSHED 3 FEET OF SNOW ONTO THE 
FLOOR OF THE DWELLING.
THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE CAME 
RUNNING TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON
AFTER SHE HEARD A CRACK.
>> SHORTLY OF THAT, EVERYONE 
KNEW THERE HAD BEEN AN AVALANCHE
ONLY THE BATTERY.
WE WERE SHOVELLING THE SNOW OUT 
THE DOOR AND I PHONED OUR 
NEIGHBOURS AND SAID, LOOK, CAN 
YOU COME AND HELP.
AND THEN -- ABOUT AN HOUR LATER,
WE HEARD VOICES.
AND IT WAS THE FIREMEN AND THEY 
WERE YELLING AT OUR NEIGHBOURS 
TO GO BACK IN.
>> THEY APPEARED LIKE THREE 
SNOWMEN.
I MEAN, THE LIVING GALE, AND 
THEY HAD TO PARK THEIR VEHICLES 
ABOUT HALF A MILE AWAY, 
PRACTICALLY, AND THEY WALKED IN 
THROUGH WAIST-DEEP SNOW IN THAT 
TERRIFIC STORM AND APPEARED AT 
THE BOTTOM OF OUR STEPS COVERED 
IN SNOW.
WITH SHOVELS.
AND THEY SAW WHAT HAPPENED.
CHECK US OUT.
AND STARTED SHOVELLING.
SO WE BASICALLY -- THEY AND US 
SHOVELLED OUT THE LIVING ROOM. 
>> Reporter:  THANKFULLY NOBODY 
WAS HURT.
RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE GOING TO 
HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO TO
REPAIR THE DAMAGE.
THEY DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE 
COVERED BY INSURANCE.
THEY DON'T HAVE ANY QUALMS ABOUT
CONTINUING TO LIVE HERE.
THERE WAS AN AVALANCHE HERE IN 
1959 THAT KILLED FIVE PEOPLE, 
BUT OWNER CHRIS BROOKS SAYS 
PEOPLE HAVE TO GO SOMEHOW.
HE LOVES THIS PLACE.
HE HAS LIVED HERE FOR 35 YEARS 
AND HE HAS GOT NO INTENTIONS OF 
MOVING.
CHRIS O'NEILL YATES, CBC NEWS, 
ST. JOHN'S. 
>> Announcer:  THE WEATHER 
UPDATE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE 
BODY SHOP.
BC'S FAVOURITE.
CRAFTSMAN COLLISION.
AIR MILES AND BIGGER SMILES.
>> Anita:  ALL RIGHT.
BRETT SODERHOLM IS HERE NOW FOR 
ANOTHER CHECK OF THE WEATHER.
>> Brett:  NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED.
[ Laughter ]
>> Anita:  I KNOW.
RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO SAY TO 
YOU. 
>> Brett:  AND BELIEVE ME, IT 
MAKES MY JOB HARDER TO BE LIKE, 
MAKE SURE YOU GOT YOUR UMBRELLA,
WE'RE GOING TO BE HERE IN THE 
LONG RUN.
NOW.
LET'S TAKE A QUICK LOOK BACK AT 
THE WAY THIS MORNING STARTED 
OFF.
ONE THING YOU'LL NOTICE, THE 
CLOUDS CERTAINLY NOT MOVING -- 
WELL, I MEAN, THERE THEY ARE A 
BIT QUICK.
BUT COMPARED TO YESTERDAY, THEY 
WERE MEANDERING ALONG, A BIT 
MORE OF A REGULAR SPEED.
TEMPERATURES, THOUGH, STILL 
PRETTY MUCH ON THE MILD SIDE.
ONE OF THE NICEST PLACES 
TEMPERATURE-WISE IN THE COUNTRY 
RIGHT NOW.
BUT, YEAH, OUR FOCUS LARGELY 
DOMINATED BY ALL OF THE RAIN AND
SNOW FOR OUR MOUNTAINOUS 
REGIONS.
FOR THE NEXT LITTLE WHILE, ALL 
OF THE RAIN IS LARGELY GOING TO 
BE FALLING OVER PORTIONS OF 
VANCOUVER ISLAND AND THEN REALLY
PICKING UP IN INTENSITY 
THROUGHOUT THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD 
HERE IN THE LOWER MAINLAND.
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, METRO 
VANCOUVER IS UNDER A RAINFALL 
WARNING.
BY THE TIME TOMORROW MORNING 
ROLLS AROUND, IT'S GOING TO BE 
EASING, SLOWLY BUT SURELY.
THAT'S NOT TO SAY IT'S GOING TO 
BE BRIGHT AND SUNNY.
BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE SEEING
SOME OF THAT HEAVY RAIN AS WE 
WILL OVER THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD.
BY THE EVENING AND INTO 
TOMORROW, THESE RAIN SHOWERS ARE
GOING TO BE COMING BACK ONCE 
AGAIN.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE OVERALL 
TOTALS HERE, YOU ARE GOING TO 
NOTICE THAT IT'S ONCE AGAIN 
ELEVATION-DEPENDENT.
MAPLE RIDGE, COQUITLAM ON THE 
HIGHER END OF THE RIDGES HERE.
METRO VANCOUVER, THIS IS 
COMFORTABLY ABOUT 40 TO 50 
MILLIMETRES AND SQUAMISH AS 
WELL.
IN TERMS OF THE PROVINCIAL 
FORECAST, I MENTIONED HOW EARLY 
WE ARE DEALING WITH SNOW ON THE 
MOUNTAIN PASSES INTO THE 
KOOTENAYS.
THIS IS GOING TO BE LASTING FOR 
MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD 
INTO TOMORROW MORNING.
TEMPERATURES THERE FAIRLY CLOSE 
TO SEASONAL AT ABOUT 3 OR 4º.
FARTHER TO THE NORTH, WHERE WE 
HAD THAT HUGE DEEP FREEZE IN 
PLACE SEEMINGLY FOREVER, IT IS 
RELENTING SOMEWHAT.
TEMPERATURES ARE BACK TO 
SEASONAL AND RAIN ONCE AGAIN FOR
PLACES LIKE HAIDA GWAII AND IN 
OUR NORTHWESTERN COASTAL 
REGIONS.
BUT IS THERE ANY RELIEF IN 
SIGHT?
ARE WE GOING TO BE SEEING ANY 
BREAK FROM THIS RAIN?
WELL, NO.
IN CLASSIC VANCOUVER FASHION, 
COME SATURDAY, THERE IS GOING TO
BE ANOTHER SYSTEM THAT COMES 
THROUGH AND THEN SUNDAY INTO 
NEXT WEEK, WE'RE GOING TO BE 
DEALING WITH ANOTHER ONE.
I BASICALLY LOST TRACK OF THE 
NUMBER OF SYSTEMS WE HAVE HAD 
BUT YOU'LL SEE THAT FOR THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS, AT LEAST RAIN IS
IN THE FORECAST.
BOTH, THOUGH, WORTH MENTIONING 
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY LIKELY WE 
COULD SEE TEMPERATURES IN 
VANCOUVER EXCEED 10º, MAYBE 11, 
MAYBE 12.
AND OVERNIGHTS ARE CERTAINLY 
GOING TO BE RIGHT WHERE THEY 
SHOULD BE IN TERMS OF RELATIVELY
MILD.
STAY WITH IT.
AS A JOKE, KEEP THE UMBRELLAS 
HANDY BECAUSE YOU STILL NEED 
THEM.
>> Mike:  GOOD ADVICE.
THANKS, BRETT
>> Anita:  IT'S A TERRIFYING 
TEST FOR EVEN THE WORLD'S BEST 
SKIERS.
KITS SPIEL IS A FAMOUS DOWNHILL 
EVENT IN AUSTRIA. 
>> Mike:  M'MM-HMM.
IT'S KNOWN FOR THE DRAMATIC 
CRASHES THAT CAN RESULT FROM 
EVEN THE EVER SO SLIGHTEST 
SLIP-UP.
AHEAD OF THE WORLD CUP EVENT 
THIS WEEKEND, WE CHECKED IN WITH
A FEW CANADIAN SKIERS WHO HAVE 
TAKEN ON THE ENORMOUS CHALLENGE.
[♪♪♪]
>> THIS FEELS DEFINITELY THE 
BIGGEST RACE. 
>> JUST THE PINNACLE FOR ME.
>> UP IN THE STARTING GATE.
LOOKING THROUGH THE TIP OF MY 
SKIS AND DROPS OFF THERE INTO A 
CLIFF.
>> THE RACE I WANTED TO WIN THE 
MOST.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE DEFEATED BY 
THAT MOUNTAIN.
>> GONE DOWN!
>> AND I'M STANDING THERE AND I 
DON'T HAVE A CLUE.
LIKE, I CAN'T IMAGINE MAKING IT.
>> OH!
[ Yelling ]
>> EVEN JUST THINKING ABOUT IT, 
IT JUST GIVES ME THIS 
INSPIRATIONAL FEELING OF I WANT 
TO DO EVERYTHING I POSSIBLY CAN 
TO GO AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.
>> IT'S DEFINITELY THE 
ATMOSPHERE ABOUT KITS PUEL.
WANTED TO BE THERE FOR ONE TIME 
IN THEIR LIVES AND THEY GET THE 
WHIFF OF THAT WHEREAS I GET TO 
GO DOWN IT. 
>> THE BIGGEST RACE.
>> UNDESCRIBABLE FEELING, IN A 
WAY.
>> ONLY COMES DOWN TO TWO WORDS.
BEAUTIFUL CHAOS.
[♪♪♪]
>> IT'S DEFINITELY INTIMIDATING.
>> TIMES WHERE I DIDN'T REALLY 
WANT TO PUT MY TOES OVER THE 
WAND AND GO.
[ Yelling ]
>> OH!
>> AND THE HELICOPTERS COME IN 
AND TAKE YOUR FRIENDS AWAY AND 
YOUR COMPETITORS, AND YOU THINK,
OH, THAT COULD BE ME.
>> IT'S GOING ON A LEAP OF 
FAITH.
>> I LOVE IT.
IT'S THE BEST.
IT'S THE GREATEST.
>> GO AND WIN.
THEN NOBODY ELSE CAN TELL YOU 
THAT YOU CAN'T SKI.
>> Mike:  BORYSKI WON TWICE 
THERE. 
>> Anita:  YOU ARE MAKING A LOT 
OF -- 
>> Mike:  SO ICY.
INTO THE NETTING.
AIRBORNE. 
>> Anita:  ADRENALINE JUNKIES. 
>> Mike:  YES.
>> Anita:  WELL, IF THAT MADE 
YOU WANT TO CATCH THAT RACE FOR 
THIS YEAR, YOU CAN CHEER ON TEAM
CANADA PRETTY EARLY THIS 
SATURDAY MORNING. 
>> Mike:  YES.
LIVE COVERAGE STARTS AT 2:30 
A.M. PACIFIC TIME ON 
cbc.ca/SPORTS. 
>> Anita:  A MAN IS DEAD AND 
FIVE OTHERS ARE MISSING AFTER A 
GROUP OF SNOWMOBILERS FELL 
THROUGH THE ICE INTO A FREEZING 
QUEBEC LAKE.
THE LATEST ON THE SEARCH NEXT.
>> AND OUR JOB IS TO ENSURE 
WOMEN GET EQUITABLE ACCESS TO 
QUALITY HEALTH CARE THROUGHOUT 
THE PROVINCE OF BRITISH 
COLUMBIA.
WINNING THIS AWARD A COUPLE 
YEARS AGO WAS A PINNACLE MOMENT 
FOR SURE IN MY CAREER.
I THINK A PARTNERSHIP LIKE CBC 
VANCOUVER WITH VIV IS IMPORTANT.
I THINK THAT ANYTIME THAT WE 
FEATURE FOLKS THAT ARE KIND OF 
MAKING UP THE QUILT WORK OF OUR 
PARTICULAR CITY DOES EVERYBODY A
FAVOUR.
THANK YOU, CBC VANCOUVER FOR 
BEING A PART OF MY COMMUNITY.
[♪♪♪]
>> Anita:  WE HAVE MORE NOW ON A
SHOOTING TONIGHT IN DOWNTOWN 
SEATTLE WITH MULTIPLE VICTIMS. 
>> Mike:  DAN BURRITT WAS AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE SHOW WITH THIS 
AND JOINING US NOW WITH MORE. 
>> Reporter:  IT HAPPENED ON 4TH
AVENUE AND PINE STREET AS WE 
SAID.
A VERY BUSY SHOPPING AREA.
POLICE RUNNING, PUTTING POLICE 
TAPE UP.
THE FIRE CHIEF SAYS ONE PERSON 
HAS DIED AT THE SCENE.
FIVE OTHERS HAVE BEEN RUSHED TO 
HOSPITAL IN CRITICAL CONDITION.
POLICE ARE STILL SEARCHING FOR 
AT LEAST ONE SUSPECT.
THEY DON'T HAVE MUCH OF A 
DESCRIPTION RIGHT NOW.
JUST THAT IT IS A MAN.
AGAIN, THE SHOOTING COMES JUST A
DAY AFTER A 55-YEAR-OLD MAN DIED
AFTER BEING SHOT AT WEST LAKE 
SHOPPING CENTRE INSIDE, RIGHT IN
THAT SAME AREA.
STILL NOT CLEAR IF THAT IS 
CONNECTED TO THE SHOOTING BUT, 
AGAIN, ONE PERSON KILLED, FIVE 
MORE IN CRITICAL CONDITION IN 
HOSPITAL AFTER THAT SHOOTING IN 
DOWNTOWN SEATTLE.
WE'LL HAVE MORE AT 11. 
>> Anita:  ALL RIGHT.
DAN BURRITT, THANK YOU.
>> Mike:  FIVE TOURISTS FROM 
FRANCE ARE MISSING AND THEIR 
QUEBEC GUIDE IS DEAD AFTER THEIR
SNOWMOBILES PLUNGED THROUGH THIN
ICE.
THREE OTHER FRENCH TOURISTS 
ESCAPED SAFETY AND DIRECTED 
POLICE TO A SPOT LOCALS KNOW TO 
AVOID.
IT ALL HAPPENED MORE THAN 200 
KILOMETRES NORTH OF QUEBEC CY.
ALLISON NORTHCOTT LOOKS INTO 
WHAT WENT WRONG. 
>> Reporter:  POLICE ON 
SNOWMOBILE COMBING THE SHORES.
THE SEARCH BEGAN LAST NIGHT 
AFTER THE TOUR GROUP WAS 
SNOWMOBILING AND SOME PLUNGED 
THROUGH THE ICE.
>> (Speaking French).
>> Reporter:  QUEBEC PROVINCIAL 
POLICE SAY THE GROUP HAD LEFT 
THE DESIGNATED SNOWMOBILE TRAIL.
THE 42-YEAR-OLD GUIDE, BENOIT 
L'ESPERANCE, WAS PULLED FROM THE
FRIGID WATERS BUT LATER DIED.
THREE OTHERS AVOIDED THE WORST 
AND SOUGHT HELP AT A GAS STATION
OWNED BY A SEASONED SNOWMOBILER.
HE SAYS THE AREA THEY WERE IN IS
KNOWN TO BE DANGEROUS.
>> (Speaking French). 
>> Reporter:  EVERYONE KNOWS, 
SAYS CHARLES TREMBLAY, IN THAT 
AREA, IT NEVER FREEZES.
BUT SNOWMOBILING IS A BIG DRAW.
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF VISITORS 
COME TO THE PROVINCE TO 
SNOWMOBILE EACH YEAR, AND 
ACCORDING TO QUEBEC'S CORONER'S 
OFFICE, AT LEAST 20 TOURISTS 
DIED IN SNOWMOBILING ACCIDENTS 
IN THE LAST TEN YEARS.
STEVE SAYS IT CAN BE A DANGEROUS
SPORT IF YOU DON'T TAKE 
PRECAUTIONS.
>> TEMPTING TO GO OUTSIDE THE 
TRAILS IN THOSE SITUATIONS.
AND THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE PAYING 
FOR, A LOT OF TIMES TO SEE.
SO IT CAN BECOME A LITTLE -- A 
LITTLE PROBLEMATIC SOMETIMES, 
AND OBVIOUSLY WE'RE PUTTING 
PEOPLE AT RISK. 
>> Reporter:  IN THIS CASE, THE 
GUIDE HAD COMPLETED A SAFETY 
COURSE FOR GROUP TOURS TEN YEARS
AGO.
THE CLUB SAYS THAT KIND OF 
TRAINING ISN'T MANDATORY, BUT 
THERE ARE GUIDELINES EVERY 
SNOWMOBILER SHOULD FOLLOW. 
>> THE MAIN THING TO REMEMBER, 
AND I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH, 
REMAIN ON THE STAKED TRAILS.
AS LONG AS YOU VENTURE OFF, YOU 
ARE TAKING A RISK. 
>> Reporter:  POLICE SAY THE 
STRONG CURRENTS HAVE MADE THEIR 
WORK HARDER.
TONIGHT, POLICE CONFIRM THEY 
LOCATED TWO SNOWMOBILES IN THE 
WATER.
THEY'LL BE RETRIEVED TOMORROW.
ALLISON NORTHCOTT, CBC NEWS, 
MONTRÉAL. 
>> Anita:  THE RCMP PRICE TAG 
FOR LAST SUMMER'S MANHUNT IN 
NORTHERN MANITOBA IS IN.
THE HUNT FOR TWO BC SUSPECTS 
COST THE MOUNTIES JUST UNDER 
$800,000.
HUNDREDS OF POLICE OFFICERS 
SEARCHED AROUND GILLAM AND FOX 
LAKE CREE NATION FOR THE TWO 
FUGITIVES FOR 17 DAYS.
MANITOBA'S ASSISTANT 
COMMISSIONER THOUGHT THE SEARCH 
COSTS WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER.
>> MOST OF THE COSTS FROM AN 
RCMP PERSPECTIVE WERE AROUND 
TRANSPORTATION AND OVERTIME AND 
THOSE KIND OF THOUGHTS AND WE 
WERE ABLE TO REALLY WORK ON 
CREATING EFFICIENT PLANS, SEARCH
GRID, THOSE KIND OF THINGS, 
TO -- TO BE AS EFFICIENT AS 
POSSIBLE.
>> I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE 
KNOWS THAT THE HELP IS STILL 
AVAILABLE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.
IT HAS NOT GONE AWAY.
AND IF ANYONE NEEDS TO STEP 
FORWARD, WE'RE HAPPY TO HELP. 
>> Anita:  McLATCHY SAYS THE 
BULK OF THE COST WAS FOR 
OVERTIME FOR OFFICERS BUT THERE 
WAS ALSO EQUIPMENT RENTAL 
EXPENSES AND THAT THE TOTAL DOES
NOT INCLUDE THE MILITARY MONEY 
SPENT ON THE SEARCH.
THAT COST HAS NOT YET BEEN 
RELEASED.
>> Mike:  WELL, FORMER CANADIAN 
ARMY RESERVIST AND ALLEGED WHITE
SUPREMACIST HAS BEEN DENIED BAIL
IN THE U.S. 
>> Anita:  THE FBI ARRESTED 
PATRIK MATTHEWS LAST WEEK ALONG 
WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF A HATE 
GROUP CALLED THE BASE.
>> Mike:  AS KAREN PAULS 
REPORTS, THE LAWYER CALLS THE 
CHARGES A VIOLATION OF HIS 
CLIENT'S RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH.
[♪♪♪]
>> Reporter:  VIDEOS LIKE THIS 
CAN BE FOUND ONLINE.
APPARENTLY SHOWING TRAINING FOR 
A WHITE SUPREMACIST GROUP CALLED
THE BASE.
THE FBI HAD LINKED MORE THAN 
HALF A DOZEN PEOPLE TO THAT 
GROUP, INCLUDING PATRIK 
MATTHEWS.
COURT DOCUMENTS INVOLVING SEVEN 
MEN ARE REVEALING THE DEPTH OF 
THE EVIDENCE AGAINST THEM, FROM 
AN UNDERCOVER FBI AGENT, WHO 
INFILTRATED THE BASE TO HIDDEN 
CAMERAS AND WIRE TAPS.
AGENTS SAY MATTHEWS AND OTHER 
ALLEGED MEMBERS OF THE BASE HAVE
SPENT TIME AT A WEAPONS TRAINING
CAMP AT THIS REMOTE PROPERTY IN 
GEORGIA.
PROSECUTORS SAY MATTHEWS LIVED 
WITH ONE OF THE CO-ACCUSED IN 
DELAWARE AND WERE SPOTTED BUYING
AMMUNITION TOGETHER.
DURING A SEARCH OF THEIR 
APARTMENT, LAW ENFORCEMENT FOUND
VIDEOS MATTHEWS MADE IN ONE 
WEARING A GAS MASK AND SPEAKING 
WITH A DISTORTED VOICE, WHERE HE
CALLS FOR VIOLENT REVOLUTION, 
DERAILS TRAINS AND POISONING 
WATER SUPPLIES.
HE REPORTEDLY SAYS THE TIME FOR 
TALK HAS ENDED.
IF YOU THINK POLITICS IS A 
SOLUTION, YOU ARE A DAMN FOOL.
IT IS A SYSTEM THAT IS 
FORMENTING VIOLENT REVOLUTION, 
NOT US, AND THEY SHALL NOW REAP 
WHAT THEY HAVE SEWN.
COURT DOCUMENTS REVEAL MATTHEWS 
AND THE OTHER CO-ACCUSED ALSO 
DISCUSSED COMMITTING TARGETED 
ACTS OF VIOLENCE IN VIRGINIA.
HUNTING PEOPLE, EVEN KILLING A 
POLICE OFFICER TO STEAL HIS 
WEAPON.
>> Mr. MATTHEWS' STATEMENTS 
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN THE 
CONTEXT OF HIM EXERCISING HIS 
FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
THEY COME WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF 
FREE SPEECH. 
>> Reporter:  HOWEVER, 
PROSECUTORS SAY MATTHEWS AND THE
OTHERS DID MORE THAN JUST TALK.
>> THEY ACQUIRED LONG GUNS 
INCLUDING A MACHINE GUN AND 
AMMUNITION.
THEY PARTICIPATED IN TACTICAL 
AND FIREARMS TRAINING WITH 
FELLOW MEMBERS OF THEIR 
ORGANIZATION CALLED THE BASE. 
>> Reporter:  THIS EXPERT HAS 
BEEN FOLLOWING THE BASE ONLINE, 
INCLUDING SOME OF THEIR CHATS 
AHL LAST WEEK'S ARREST -- AFTER 
LAST WEEK'S ARRESTS. 
>> THEY ARE TRYING TO SEE WHERE 
THEIR WEAK SPOTS ARE OR -- 
SHOULDN'T HAVE TRUSTED. 
>> Reporter:  SO FAR, ALL OF THE
ALLEGATIONS ARE UNPROVEN IN 
COURT.

A WHO'S WHO OF THE BEST YOUNG 
TALENT IN THE LEAGUE, GOING TO 
SCHOOLS THAT CAN COST UP TO 
$50,000 A YEAR, REINFORCING THE 
NOTION THAT HOCKEY, ESPECIALLY 
AT ITS HIGHEST LEVELS, IS 
INCREASINGLY A SPORT FOR THOSE 
WHO CAN AFFORD IT.
>> FOR GENERATIONS NOW.
AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S 
OVERSTATING THINGS.
GENERATIONS WE HAVE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT THE COST OF THE GAME. 
>> Reporter:  AUTHOR SEAN 
FITZGERALD SEA IT'S NOT JUST

ALL THAT?
>> THOSE CHILDREN STATISTICALLY 
DON'T MAKE IT TO THE NHL 
ANYMORE.
>> Reporter:  WILL THE GROWING 
EXCLUSIVITY MEAN THE NEXT WAYNE 
GRETZKY NEVER BECOMES THE GREAT 
ONE?
>> DO YOU THINK YOUR PARENTS 
WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SUPPORT 
YOU THROUGH HOCKEY IN TODAY'S 
WORLD. 
>> PROBABLY NOT. 
>> Reporter:  HOCKEY CANADA SAYS
IT DOES HAVE PROGRAMS THAT ARE 
MORE ACCESSIBLE, BUT IT ALSO 
SAYS MANY PARENTS DON'T NEED TO 
SPEND AS MUCH AS THEY DO. 
>> I THINK PARENTS NEED TO 
SOMETIMES TAKE A STEP BACK AND 
REALLY LOOK AT HOW MUCH IS TOO 
MUCH.
YOU DON'T NEED TO, YOU KNOW, BE 
GOING TO SIX HOCKEY SCHOOLS IN 
THE SUMMER AND BEING ON THE ICE 
12 MONTHS A YEAR.
