>> Ian: GOOD EVENING, I'M IAN 
HANOMANSING.
TONIGHT, AN URGENT WARNING FROM 
THE COUNTRY'S TOP DOCTOR.
THEY ARE PLANNING FOR THE WORST 
THIS FALL, A COVID CASELOAD THAT
WOULD DWARF WHAT WE SAW IN THE 
SPRING. 
>> IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH FOR 
THINGS TO ESCALATE.
>> Ian: ARE WE READY?
>>> SHE BECAME A SYMBOL OF 
LEBANON'S PROTEST MOVEMENT.
CBC NEWS CONFIRMS THAT ONE OF 
THE YOUNGEST VICTIMS OF THE 
BEIRUT EXPLOSION IS CANADIAN.
>> I WAS JUST NEXT TO HER WHEN 
SHE TOOK HER LAST BREATH.
>> Reporter: HER FAMILY'S 
MESSAGE TO THE WORLD.
>>> THE PRESIDENT AND THE POST 
OFFICE.
AS PREPARATIONS BEGIN FOR 
MAIL-IN BALLOTS, DONALD TRUMP 
THREATENS TO WITHHOLD CASH ON 
DELIVERY.
>>> AND THE B.C. PREMIER GETS A 
MESSAGE FROM A CANADIAN SUPER 
HERO.
>> OH, HEY, PREMIER HORGAN, RYAN
REYNOLDS HERE.
>> Ian: THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
*
*
>>> WE GOT A SOBERING LOOK TODAY
AT HOW BAD THIS PANDEMIC COULD 
GET BY THE FALL.
THE PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCY OF 
CANADA RELEASING MU MODELLING.
IT'S NOT A PREDICTION OF WHAT 
WILL HAPPEN BUT A WARNING OF 
WHAT COULD, IF WE AREN'T 
CAREFUL.
YOU CAN SEE THE SPRING SPIKE 
THERE, COMPLETELY OVERSHADOWED 
BY A POTENTIALLY HUGE FALL SURGE
IF, AS PEOPLE GO BACK TO SCHOOL 
AND WORK, DETECTING CASES, 
CONTACT TRACING, PHYSICAL 
DISTANCING AND HYGIENE MEASURES 
AREN'T STRONG ENOUGH.
DAVID THURTON TAKES US THROUGH 
IT.
>> THE IDEA IS TO PLAN FOR 
SOMETHING THAT IS AT LEAST 
SEVERAL TIMES WORSE THAN OUR 
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE.
>> Reporter: IT'S NOT THE 
MESSAGE CANADIANS WANT TO HEAR, 
BUT IT'S ONE CANADA'S TOP DOCTOR
SAYS THEY NEED TO LISTEN TO.
>> RIGHT NOW I THINK ON THE 
WHOLE WE ARE ON THAT SLOW BURN 
KIND OF TRAJECTORY, BUT IT 
DOESN'T TAKE MUCH FOR THINGS TO 
ESCALATE.
>> Reporter: HEALTH OFFICIALS 
ARE TRYING TO AVOID A NEW WAVE 
THIS FALL THAT'S SEVERAL TIMES 
HIGHER THAN THE FIRST, 
OVERWHELMING HOSPITALS WITH 
SMALLER ECHOES TO FOLLOW, THIS 
AFTER WEEKS OF WARNINGS FROM 
PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS 
UNDERLINING MORE CASES AMONG 
YOUNG ADULTS. 
>> THERE ARE STILL SOME OF THE 
POPULATION THAT ARE NOT 
OBSERVING SOME OF THESE RULES, 
OR PUBLIC HEALTH ADVICE, AND SO 
WE CAN ALWAYS DO BETTER.
>> Reporter: THE PROJECTED PEAK 
LANDS IN THE MIDDLE OF BACK TO 
SCHOOL, AND COINCIDES WITH THE 
COLD AND FLU SEASON.
>> SO PLANNING FOR THAT 
POTENTIAL CONVERGENCE OF THE 
VIRAL ACTIVITY IS SOMETHING THAT
WE'RE ACTIVELY DOING AS WELL.
>> Reporter: HOW TO KEEP IT IN 
CHECK WITHOUT ANOTHER LOCKDOWN?
QUICK TESTING AND ISOLATION, 
QUICK CONTACT TRACING AND 
QUARANTINES, WEARING A MASK, AND
KEEPING APART.
SO IS CANADA READY?
>> IN MANY PARTS OF CANADA 
DURING THE FIRST WAVE THERE 
CERTAINLY WERE ISSUES WITH 
DIAGNOSTIC TESTING CAPACITY, 
CONTACT TRACING.
THERE CERTAINLY WERE SOME ISSUES
WITH THOSE.
IT APPEARS THAT MUCH OF THAT HAS
BEEN IRONED OUT.
IT'S UNLIKELY THAT WE WILL SEE 
ISSUES WITH THAT, BUT IT IS 
CERTAINLY STILL POSSIBLE.
>> Reporter: HOW SEVERE IT WILL 
BE DEPENDS ON EVERYONE'S 
ACTIONS.
DAVID THURTON, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA.
>> Ian: LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT 
SOME OF THE COVID-19 HOT SPOTS 
IN CANADA TODAY.
MANITOBA REPORTING 40 CASES.
THAT TIES ITS HIGHEST ONE-DAY 
COUNT, B.C. WITH 84 NEW CASES, 
CONTINUING TO PUSH THE CURVE 
HIGHER AS HEALTH OFFICERS WARN 
WE COULD SEE A SECOND WAVE 
BIGGER THAN THE FIRST.
THIS WEEKEND PUBLIC HEALTH 
OFFICERS WILL BE OUT CHECKING ON
PARTIES IN LARGE VENUES HERE IN 
BRITISH COLUMBIA TO TRY TO MAKE 
SURE THE COVID-19 RULES ARE 
BEING FOLLOWED.
AS TINA LOVGREEN EXPLAINS, IT'S 
PART OF A PLAN TO TRY TO PUT A 
CAP ON RISING CASES THAT APPEAR 
TO BE STRETCHING PART OF THE 
SYSTEM.
>> Reporter: FRUSTRATION AS ONE 
AFTER ANOTHER PEOPLE EAGER TO 
GET A COVID TEST ARE TURNED 
AWAY, HOURS BEFORE IT'S SUPPOSED
TO CLOSE.
>> THEY ARE AT CAPACITY AND THEY
HAVE TO GO TO ANOTHER SITE. 
>> IT'S ONLY BEEN 45 MINUTES 
SINCE THE OPENING AND THINGS ARE
ALREADY OVERWHELMED. 
>> Reporter: THIS WOMAN, WHO 
DROVE HERE TO GET A TEST, 
DECIDED TO DITCH THE CAR AND 
WAIT IN THE PEDESTRIAN LINEUP. 
>> THIS WAS ABOUT HALF AS LONG 
WHEN I DROVE BY.
MIND YOU, IT HASN'T MOVED IN 30 
MINUTES, SO . . . I GUESS WE'LL 
SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
>> MADE IT.
WORTH THE WAIT. 
>> Reporter: B.C.'S CASES ARE 
TRENDING UPWARDS, BUT OFFICIALS 
ARE CONFIDENT IN THEIR ABILITY 
TO TRACE THEM. 
>> THE VAST MAJORITY OF CASES 
ARE THROUGH CHAINS OF 
TRANSMISSIONS THAT WE KNOW 
ABOUT.
SOMEONE IS EXPOSED TO A CASE AND
THEN THEY GET TESTED POSITIVE, 
AND WE KNOW ABOUT THAT CHAIN, 
THAT'S A PUBLIC HEALTH LEVEL 
WHICH MAKES IT A LOT EASIER TO 
TRACK AND TRACE.
OBVIOUSLY RESOURCES TO TRACK AND
TRACE ARE SIGNIFICANT.
>> Reporter: THE PROVINCE IS 
HIRING 500 MORE CONTACT TRACERS 
TO KEEP THAT GOING, BUT THEY 
WON'T BE IN PLACE UNTIL 
SEPTEMBER. 
>> WHICH BUYS US A LITTLE BIT OF
TIME. 
>> Reporter: BUT EXPERTS SAY 
BEHAVIOUR NEEDS TO CHANGE. 
>> JUST LIKE A THERMOSTAT, TURN 
OFF THE HEATER WHENEVER THE 
TEMPERATURE GETS TOO HIGH.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH 
COVID.
WHENEVER THE COVID NUMBERS GET 
TOO HIGH, WE NEED TO REDUCE OUR 
MOVEMENT RATES AND OUR CONTACT 
RATES. 
>> Reporter: AND TO GET THE 
MESSAGE TO YOUNG PEOPLE, B.C.'S 
PREMIER MADE A DESPERATE PLEA TO
A LOCAL SUPER HERO.
>> THIS IS A CALL OUT TO 
DEADPOOL RIGHT NOW.
RYAN, WE NEED YOUR HELP UP HERE.
>> Reporter: THE VANCOUVER-BORN 
ACTOR DIDN'T MISS A BEAT.
>> HEY, PREMIER HORGAN, RYAN 
REYNOLDS HERE.
I GOT YOUR MESSAGE ABOUT THE 
THING.
B.C. IS, THAT'S HOME TO SOME OF 
THE COOLEST OLDER PEOPLE ON 
EARTH, BUT HERE'S THE THING, I 
HOPE THAT YOUNG PEOPLE IN B.C. 
DON'T KILL MY MOM, FRANKLY, OR 
DAVID SUZUKI, OR EACH OTHER.
>> Reporter: THE NEXT TIME YOU 
WANT TO GO PARTY. 
>> THINK ABOUT YOUR MOM.
THINK ABOUT RYAN'S MOM.
THINK ABOUT DAVID SUZUKI AND ALL
OF THE ELDERS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
>> Reporter: TINA LOVGREEN, CBC 
NEWS, VANCOUVER.
>> Ian: AS YOU HEARD, MANITOBA 
IS ALSO DEALING WITH A SPIKE IN 
CASES, THE HIGHEST SINCE EARLY 
APRIL.
THAT HAS THE PROVINCE'S CHIEF 
MEDICAL OFFICER CALLING ON THE 
PUBLIC TO STEP UP.
>> WE HAVE LOST SOME SIGHT OF 
OUR FUNDAMENTALS.
THESE CASES SHOULD BE A REMINDER
THAT THERE VIRUS STILL HERE, 
THAT WE'RE NOT DONE WITH THIS.
>> Ian: ALSO CONCERNING FOR THE 
OFFICIALS, THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF
CLOSE CONTACTS FOR EACH PERSON 
IS ALSO ON THE RISE, SO PEOPLE 
ARE SEEING MORE PEOPLE, THE 
PROVINCE'S WORST OUTBREAK 
REMAINS IN BRANDON, WHICH 
CURRENTLY HAS 90 ACTIVE CASES.
MANY OF THEM ARE LINKED TO A 
MAPLE LEAF PLANT.
>>> 550 PEOPLE WHO WERE IN A 
TORONTO STRIP CLUB EARLIER THIS 
MONTH ARE BEING WARNED THAT THEY
MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO 
COVID-19, AND AS VIK ADHOPIA 
EXPLAINS, TRACING THOSE CONTACTS
IS PROVING DIFFICULT.
>> Reporter: THE BRASS RAIL HAS 
BEEN IN TROUBLE BEFORE.
IT DEFIED A CITY BAN ON LAP 
DANCES 20 YEARS AGO, EVENTUALLY 
GETTING IT OVERTURNED.
NOW IT'S IN TROUBLE AGAIN FOR 
BREAKING INFECTION PREVENTION 
RULES.
>> IT DOES REQUIRE MAINTAINING 
PHYSICAL DISTANCE, AND WHERE 
PHYSICAL DISTANCE IS NOT 
POSSIBLE, TO HAVE A BARRIER, 
LIKE A PLEXIGLAS IN PLACE.
THEY DID NOT MEET ALL THOSE 
REQUIREMENTS.
>> Reporter: HEALTH OFFICIALS 
WERE ALERTED TO VIOLATIONS AFTER
AN EMPLOYEE TESTED POSITIVE FOR 
COVID-19 WITHIN DAYS OF THE CLUB
REOPENING.
OFFICIALS WON'T SAY WHAT THE 
WORKER'S JOB IS, ONLY THEY MAY 
HAVE COME IN CONTACT WITH MORE 
THAN 500 CUSTOMERS. 
>> ALSO SHOWS YOU IN A CROWD 
LIKE THAT HOW EASY IT COULD BE 
TO SPREAD THE VIRUS AND GET US 
RIGHT BACK TO WHERE WE WERE, AND
NONE OF US WANT TO GO THERE. 
>> Reporter: A COMPLICATING 
FACTOR FOR CONTACT TRACING, 
ALERTING CUSTOMERS WHO DIDN'T 
ALL LEAVE DETAILED CONTACT 
INFORMATION, IN VIOLATION OF 
REOPENING RULES.
NOT A SURPRISE FOR AN INDUSTRY 
THAT FACES STIGMA.
>> WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE 
TO LIE ABOUT THEIR ENGAGEMENT IN
THE INDUSTRY. 
>> Reporter: THIS STRIP CLUB 
DANCER SAYS SHE DOESN'T FEEL 
SAFE YET TO GO BACK TO WORK BUT 
UNDERSTANDS WHY OTHERS ARE.
>> IN EVERY INDUSTRY THERE ARE 
PEOPLE WHO ARE, YOU KNOW, NOT 
ELIGIBLE FOR CERB, FOR INSTANCE,
OR FOR EI, WHO NEED TO MAKE 
MONEY RIGHT NOW IN ORDER TO 
SURVIVE WHO ARE POTENTIALLY 
FACING EVICTIONS AS THE WINTER 
APPROACHES. 
>> Reporter: ACROSS CANADA, 
OUTBREAKS ARE INCREASINGLY TIED 
TO THE REOPENING OF BARS, 
RESTAURANTS AND STRIP CLUBS.
>> THE ACT OF OPENING THESE 
ESTABLISHMENTS, WE ARE GOING TO 
SEE OUTBREAKS THAT ARE 
HAPPENING, AND THAT CAN LEAD TO 
MORE COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION AND 
CAUSE A VERY REAL PROBLEM.
THIS HAS HAPPENED IN OTHER 
PLACES.
>> Reporter: DESPITE THE 
VIOLATIONS, THE BRASS RAIL 
REMAINS OPEN, BUT PUBLIC HEALTH 
OFFICIALS SAY THEY WILL MONITOR 
THE CLUB'S CONDUCT CLOSELY.
VIK ADHOPIA, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Ian: WHEN IT COMES TO 
PLANNING HOW SCHOOLS WILL 
REOPEN, ONTARIO'S REMAINS 
CONTENTIOUS.
THE GOVERNMENT GAVE UP SOME 
GROUND TODAY.
DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON SHOWS US 
WHY THAT CHANGED VERY LITTLE.
>> Premier Doug Ford: I'LL PASS 
IT OVER TO THE MINISTER OF 
EDUCATION. 
>> Reporter: IT'S THE LATEST 
CHAPTER IN THE NOW-FAMILIAR 
STORY.
THE EDUCATION MINISTER ANNOUNCES
NEW MEASURES.
>> WE ARE ALLOWING THEM TO 
STAGGER THE START FOR THE FIRST 
WEEK, MEANING IF THEY WANT TO DO
KINDERGARTEN AND GRADE ONE ON 
DAY ONE AND INTRODUCE THE GRADE 
TWOS AND THREES THE NEXT DAY AND
BUILD THAT UP TO FRIDAY. 
>> Reporter: BUT HE FAILS TO 
SATISFY MANY PARENTS. 
>> IT'S THE RIGHT START, BUT 
IT'S NOT ENOUGH. 
>> DO YOU WANT TO DO ONE AT THE 
SAME TIME?
>> Reporter: SUSAN CHANG IS THE 
MOTHER OF 7-YEAR-OLD CONNOR. 
>> IT'S JUST TOO FAST.
A WEEK IS NOTHING.
WHAT WE NEED IS AT LEAST A MONTH
UNTIL WE'VE GOT THE VENTILATION 
SYSTEMS IN PLACE, UNTIL WE'VE 
DECIDED WHAT TO DO WITH THE 
CLASSROOMS. 
>> Reporter: THE MAJOR BONE OF 
CONTENTION REMAINS CLASS SIZES.
THE TOP DEMAND OF PARENTS AND 
TEACHERS IS ALSO THE MOST 
EXPENSIVE TO IMPLEMENT.
THE PROVINCE ALLOCATED $30 
MILLION FOR EXTRA TEACHERS TO BE
HIRED ACROSS ONTARIO, PLUS 
WHATEVER MONEY THE BOARDS CAN 
AFFORD TO PULL FROM THEIR 
RESERVE FUND, BUT IN TORONTO 
PUBLIC SCHOOLS ALONE, THE BOARD 
SAYS LIMITING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 
CLASSES TO 15 KIDS WOULD COST 
$250 MILLION.
TEACHERS UNIONS ARE KEEPING 
PRESSURE HIGH.
YESTERDAY FOUR OF THE BIGGEST 
ONES ALLEGED THE BACK-TO-SCHOOL 
PLAN VIOLATES ONTARIO'S HEALTH 
AND SAFETY ACT.
>> SPECIFICALLY WORKERS HAVE A 
RIGHT TO BE SAFE IN THEIR WORK 
ENVIRONMENT, AND EMPLOYERS HAVE 
A RESPONSIBILITY TO PUT 
PROTECTIONS IN PLACE. 
>> THE OUTLIERS SEEMS TO BE 
THESE -- THE TEACHER UNIONS 
OBSTRUCTING AND ULTIMATELY 
OPPOSING. 
>> Premier Doug Ford: IF WE CAN 
GET ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE IN 
THE COUNTRY, WHY CAN'T THE 
TEACHERS UNION GET ALONG WITH 
US?
>> Reporter: BUT IN THE POLITICS
OF IT ALL, PARENTS LIKE SUSAN 
CHANG SAY THEIR VOICE IS NOT 
BEING HEARD. 
>> THEY NEED TO HAVE A TOWN HALL
AND LISTEN TO THE CONCERNS AND 
SUGGESTIONS OF BOTH THE TEACHERS
AND THE PARENTS.
>> Reporter: ANXIETY RISING 
HIGHER AS THE SCHOOL YEAR DRAWS 
NEARER.
DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Ian: CALGARY'S SCHOOL BOARDS 
HAVE TIGHTENED THE RULES AROUND 
MASKS, IN PART BECAUSE THE CITY 
HAS THE MOST CASES IN THE 
PROVINCE.
>> WE REALLY VALUE THE INPUT OF 
OUR STAKEHOLDERS, AND OUR 
STAKEHOLDERS HAVE CLEARLY TOLD 
US THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE 
MANDATORY MASK WEARING FROM 
KINDERGARTEN TO GRADE 12.
>> Ian: THAT MEASURE GOES WELL 
BEYOND PROVINCIAL RULES.
ALBERTA DOESN'T REQUIRE MASKS 
ONCE A CLASS IS SEATED, OR FOR 
ANY STUDENTS IN LOWER GRADES.
MORE STRINGENT RULES WERE ALSO 
ANNOUNCED TODAY IN NOVA SCOTIA.
>> STUDENTS IN GRADES 4 TO 11 
WILL NOW BE EXPECTED TO WEAR 
NON-MEDICAL MASKS WHILE AT 
SCHOOL, EXCEPT WHEN THEY ARE 
SITTING AT THEIR DESKS, AND ONLY
IF THOSE DESKS ARE TWO METRES 
APART. 
>> Ian: SO DISTANCING IS KEY.
UNDER NOVA SCOTIA'S PREVIOUS 
GUIDELINES, ONLY HIGH SCHOOL 
STUDENTS HAD TO WEAR MASKS.
THE MINISTER SAID THERE IS A 
CONTINGENCY PLAN IN CASE 
COVID-19 SPREADS.
SEND OLDER STUDENTS HOME AND 
SPREAD OUT DESKS FOR THE YOUNGER
ONES WHO REMAIN.
>>> CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES
HAVE AGREED TO EXTEND THE 
CURRENT BORDER CLOSURE UNTIL 
SEPTEMBER 21.
CANADA'S CHIEF PUBLIC HEALTH 
OFFICER SAID THE FEDERAL 
GOVERNMENT WILL CONTINUE TO 
MONITOR CASELOADS IN BOTH 
COUNTRIES BEFORE MAKING A 
DECISION MOVING FORWARD.
THE LAND BORDER HAS BEEN CLOSED 
EXCEPT FOR ESSENTIAL TRAVEL 
SINCE MARCH.
OTTAWA IS STILL WARNING 
CANADIANS TO AVOID ALL 
NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL OUTSIDE OF 
THE COUNTRY.
>>> THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE 
CROSSED THAT BORDER SEEKING 
REFUGEE STATUS IN THIS COUNTRY, 
AND NOW A GOVERNMENT PROGRAM IS 
REWARDING SOME FOR THEIR WORK ON
THE FRONT LINES OF THE COVID-19 
PANDEMIC.
THOSE WHO WORKED IN PATIENT CARE
ARE BEING MADE ELIGIBLE FOR 
PERMANENT RESIDENCY, BUT AS 
ALISON NORTHCOTT TELLS US, SOME 
SAY THE PROGRAM SHOULD APPLY TO 
MORE PEOPLE.
>> IT'S LIKE YOU'RE LIVING DAY 
BY DAY.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO 
HAPPEN. 
>> Reporter: DIEL WORKS AS AN 
ORDERLY IN A PRIVATE SENIOR'S 
HOME.
WE'VE AGREED NOT TO USE HER LAST
NAME BECAUSE HER IMMIGRATION 
STATUS IS NOT SETTLED YET.
SHE CAME HERE AS AN ASYLUM 
SEEKER ORIGINALLY FROM HAITI.
TODAY SHE SAYS SHE FEELS SOME 
RELIEF.
>> I'M HAPPY.
THE PAST MONTHS WERE VERY, VERY 
HARD.
THE WAIT WAS PAINFUL AND VERY 
STRESSFUL, AND NOW I THINK IT'S 
LIKE A DOOR OPENING TO A 
BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR ME.
>> Reporter: THERE ARE MANY 
ASYLUM SEEKERS WORKING IN THE 
HEALTH CARE SECTOR ON THE FRONT 
LINES OF THE PANDEMIC. 
>> AS THESE INDIVIDUALS FACE AN 
UNCERTAIN FUTURE IN CANADA, THE 
CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES MERIT 
EXCEPTIONAL MEASURES. 
>> Reporter: AFTER PRESSURE FROM
SEVERAL GROUPS, CANADA'S 
IMMIGRATION MINISTER ANNOUNCED 
HELP FOR THOSE WORKING IN 
PATIENT CARE. 
>> A ONE-TIME MEASURE THAT WILL 
PROVIDE A SPECIFIC PATHWAY TO 
PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR ASYLUM 
CLAIMANTS WORKING IN CANADA'S 
HEALTH CARE SECTOR.
>> WHEN EVERYBODY STAYED HOME, 
THEY WERE OUTSIDE WORKING, 
RISKING THEIR LIVES.
>> Reporter: ACROSS FROM JUSTIN 
TRUDEAU'S MONTREAL OFFICE, THIS 
PROTEST CAMP HAS BEEN SET UP 
SINCE SUNDAY.
WILNER CAYO SAYS THE NEW 
MEASURES SHOULDN'T BE LIMITED TO
HEALTH CARE WORKERS BECAUSE IT 
LEAVES OTHER ESSENTIAL WORKERS 
IN JOBS LIKE FOOD SERVICES AND 
SECURITY OUT.
>> THE GOVERNMENT TAKES SOME 
WORKERS AND LEFT A LOT OF THEM 
IN THIS STATE OF SOCIETY. 
>> Reporter: OTTAWA'S ORIGINAL 
VISION OF THE PLAN INCLUDED A 
LONGER LIST OF ELIGIBLE WORKERS,
BUT AFTER NEGOTIATIONS WITH 
QUEBEC, THE FINAL LIST WAS 
LIMITED.
TODAY PREMIER FRANÇOIS LEGAULT 
SAYS HE'S PLEASED WITH THE 
OUTCOME FOR THOSE WHO BENEFIT. 
>> THOSE ANGELS, I APPRECIATE 
VERY MUCH THE WORK THEY DID AND 
THE RISK THEY TOOK. 
>> Reporter: WHILE SOME 
ADVOCATES SAY THIS IS GOOD NEWS 
FOR SOME ASYLUM SEEKERS, THEY 
WILL CONTINUE TO PRESS THE 
GOVERNMENT TO RECOGNIZE MORE OF 
THEM IN THE SAME WAY.
ALISON NORTHCOTT, CBC NEWS, 
MONTREAL.
>> Ian: OTTAWA HAS ANNOUNCED 
HELP FOR CANADIAN SURVIVORS OF 
LAST WEEK'S DEVASTATING BEIRUT 
EXPLOSION, CREATING A TASK FORCE
TO BRING THOSE TO CANADA WHO 
WANT TO RETURN.
AND EARLIER TONIGHT, THE PRIME 
MINISTER ALSO ISSUED A STATEMENT
OF CONDOLENCE TO THE FAMILY OF 
-- FAMILIES OF TWO CANADIANS 
KNOWN TO HAVE DIED, ONE OF THEM 
A LITTLE GIRL.
ELLEN MAURO IS LEARNING MORE 
ABOUT HOW HER TRAGIC DEATH IS 
GALVANIZING A GROWING PROTEST 
MOVEMENT.
>> I WAS JUST NEXT TO HER WHEN 
SHE TOOK HER LAST BREATH. 
>> Reporter: THE DEVASTATION OF 
THESE PARENTS SO RAW AND ONLY 
JUST BEGINNING.
THEY LOST THEIR DAUGHTER, 
ALEXANDRA NAGGEAR, JUST THREE 
YEARS OLD IN BEIRUT'S 
DEVASTATING BLAST.
SHE WAS A CANADIAN CITIZEN.
AS THE EXPLOSION TORE THROUGH 
THEIR HOME, ALEXANDRA'S MOTHER, 
A FORMER MONTREALER, SHIELDED 
HER DAUGHTER WITH HER BODY, BUT 
IT WASN'T ENOUGH.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW THAT SHE WAS 
HIT BEFORE IN THE HEAD, SO . . .
THAT'S IT.
>> Reporter: ALEXANDRA 
IMMORTALIZED IN THESE PICTURES 
WITH HER FATHER IS NOW A SYMBOL 
OF THE DISASTER'S STAGGERING 
TOLL AND THE ANGER AT THE 
NEGLIGENCE THAT LED TO IT.
ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTERS HOLD 
HER PHOTO IN THE STREETS AS THEY
MARCH FOR JUSTICE, AND HER 
LIKENESS FLOODS THE COUNTRY'S 
SOCIAL MEDIA.
ALEXANDRA NOW DUBBED THE ANGEL 
OF BEIRUT.
>> MY ONLY HOPE TODAY IS THAT 
THE FACT THAT WE LOST A CHILD 
IS, YOU KNOW, A WAKE-UP CALL FOR
THE LEBANESE PEOPLE AND EXPATS 
AND INTERNATIONAL PEOPLE TO JUST
HELP US AND SAVE THIS COUNTRY.
>> Reporter: ACROSS THE CITY, 
THE DESTRUCTION IS SEEMINGLY 
ENDLESS.
SO IS THE MOURNING, MORE THAN 
200 DEAD AND AN ESTIMATED 
300,000 DISPLACED, A THIRD OF 
THEM CHILDREN.
>> PEOPLE ARE WITHOUT HOUSES 
TODAY, FRIENDS, FAMILIES, 
CHILDREN.
>> Reporter: AS THEY GRAPPLE 
WITH THAT SAME LOSS, THE 
NAGGEARS' ONLY SOLACE IS THAT 
ALEXANDRA'S DEATH HAS HELPED 
PUSH THE MOVEMENT FOR CHANGE. 
>> WHAT HAPPENED WAS THEY 
HURT US.
IT WAS A CRIME, BUT LET'S HOPE 
THAT IT WAS A CRIME THAT WILL 
HELP US TURN AROUND THINGS IN 
LEBANON AND, YOU KNOW, GET OUR 
COUNTRY BACK.
>> Reporter: AS THEY LEARN TO 
LIVE WITHOUT THEIR DAUGHTER.
ELLEN MAURO, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Ian: OFFICIALS SAY A DEADLY 
CAR EXPLOSION IN KITCHENER 
APPEARS TO HAVE INVOLVED AN 
EXPLOSIVE DEVICE.
>> LOOK AT THE SMOKE.
OH, MY GOSH.
>> Ian: THAT HEAVY SMOKE OUTSIDE
THE KITCHENER COURTHOUSE THIS 
MORNING.
POLICE CONFIRMING A PERSON WAS 
FOUND DEAD INSIDE THE VEHICLE, 
AND THAT THE EXPLOSIVE DISPOSAL 
UNIT HAS BEEN HELPING WITH THE 
INVESTIGATION.
>>> A TEENAGER HAS BEEN 
SENTENCED IN THE STABBING DEATH 
OF DEVAN SELVEY, THE HAMILTON 
TEEN KILLED OUTSIDE HIS HIGH 
SCHOOL, LAST OCTOBER.
THE 18-YEAR-OLD, WHO CAN'T BE 
NAMED, WILL SERVE 15 MONTHS OF 
PROBATION.
HE PLEADED GUILTY TO THE 
UNAUTHORIZED POSSESSION OF A 
WEAPON.
ANOTHER TEENAGER IS CHARGED WITH
FIRST-DEGREE MURDER AND WILL 
APPEAR IN COURT IN NOVEMBER.
>>> NEW BRUNSWICK IS ON COURSE 
TO HOLD CANADA'S FIRST ELECTION 
DURING THIS PANDEMIC.
THAT'S DESPITE THE FACT THAT 
VERY FEW VOTERS SEEM TO WANT 
ONE.
HARRY FORESTELL SHOWS US WHY IT 
MAY JUST HAPPEN ANYWAY.
>> Reporter: AS HE TOOK OFF HIS 
MASK TO USE THE MIC, IT WAS 
CLEAR KEVIN VICKERS WASN'T 
HAPPY.
AFTER THREE DAYS OF 
NEGOTIATIONS, THE GRIM-FACED 
LIBERAL LEADER EXPLAINED WHY HIS
PARTY ABANDONED THE TALKS.
>> WE WERE TOLD, THREATENED, 
THAT IF IT HAD NOT BEEN 
COMPLETED BY THE END OF TODAY AN
ELECTION WOULD BE CALLED.
THIS WAS A NEGOTIATION OF HAVING
A GUN TO YOUR HEAD.
IT'S TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.
>> Reporter: THE STATED GOAL OF 
PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE PREMIER
BLAINE HIGGS WAS TO AVOID AN 
ELECTION IN THE MIDST OF A 
PANDEMIC.
TO WORK WITH OPPOSITION 
LEADERS DRAFTING POLICY ALL 
PARTIES COULD SUPPORT, BUT THE 
PLAN ALSO GUARANTEED HIS 
MINORITY GOVERNMENT AS MUCH AS 
TWO MORE YEARS IN POWER.
EVEN SO, THE OTHER TWO PARTIES 
SEEMED KEEN TO CONTINUE.
>> WE WENT IN THERE WITH AN OPEN
MIND AND IN GOOD FAITH TO TRY TO
MOVE NEW BRUNSWICK FORWARD AND 
TO AVOID AN ELECTION, BUT I WAS 
SKEPTICAL THAT THAT'S WHAT THE 
LIBERALS WERE THERE TO DO.
>> WE HAD FASCINATING 
DISCUSSIONS TO TRY AND SEE WHERE
WE MIGHT GET, BUT IN THE END, IT
DIDN'T WORK.
>> Reporter: WITH THE LIBERALS 
NOW OUT, IT'S UP TO PREMIER 
BLAINE HIGGS TO CALL AN ELECTION
OR MAINTAIN THE STATUS QUO.
>> WELL, IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING
TO BE STANDING HERE AT THIS 
POINT IN TIME.
I EXPECTED TO BE WORKING MOST OF
THE NIGHT AND THE WEEKEND, AND 
SO NOW I'M THINKING ABOUT NEXT 
STEPS.
>> Reporter: A POLL OUT TODAY 
SHOWS THE MAJORITY OF VOTERS 
OPPOSE A FALL ELECTION.
THE NARRATIVE RESEARCH SURVEY OF
A THOUSAND NEW BRUNSWICKERS 
FOUND JUST 33% WANT A VOTE WHILE
52% ARE MOSTLY OR COMPLETELY 
OPPOSED.
THE PREMIER REMAINS IN A 
TICKLISH POSITION.
IF HE CALLS AN ELECTION, HE 
RISKS ANGERING NEW BRUNSWICKERS,
AND IF HE DOESN'T, THE 
GOVERNMENT STILL HAS TO HOLD TWO
BY-ELECTIONS THAT COULD LOOSEN 
HIS MINORITY GRIP ON POWER.
HIGGS SAYS HE'LL TAKE THE NEXT 
TWO DAYS TO CONSIDER HIS 
OPTIONS.
HARRY FORESTELL, CBC NEWS, 
FREDERICTON.
>> Ian: A WARNING TONIGHT FROM 
THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE THAT 
COULD HAVE BIG CONSEQUENCES ON 
ELECTION NIGHT.
>> YOU CAN BE SURE THAT TENS OF 
MILLIONS OF BALLOTS WILL NOT BE 
COUNTED ON NOVEMBER 3.
>> Ian: NEXT ON "THE NATIONAL," 
DONALD TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN AGAINST 
MAIL-IN VOTING.

WHY THIS IS A DREAM COME
>> Ian: WELCOME BACK.
THE PANDEMIC HAS MILLIONS OF 
AMERICANS GETTING READY TO CAST 
THEIR VOTE AT THE MAILBOX 
INSTEAD OF THE BALLOT BOX.
BUT THE PRESIDENT IS SPOILING 
FOR A FIGHT AGAINST THE POST 
OFFICE.
HE'S THREATENING TO WITHHOLD 
CASH, AND NOW THE POSTAL SERVICE
SAYS IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO 
DELIVER THOSE BALLOTS ON TIME.
STEVEN D'SOUZA EXPLAINS WHY.
>> Reporter: AMERICANS HAVE 
VOTED BY MAIL SINCE THE CIVIL 
WAR WITH NO CASES OF LARGE-SCALE
FRAUD, BUT TO HEAR DONALD TRUMP 
TELL IT, THE POSTAL SERVICE IS A
PRIME TARGET FOR FOREIGN 
INTERFERENCE.
>> President Donald Trump: 
BECAUSE THEY CAN BE FORGED.
THEY CAN BE CAPTURED.
THEY CAN BE TAKEN.
>> Reporter: IN THE MIDST OF A 
PANDEMIC, WITH FEARS THAT LONG 
LINES AT POLLING PLACES COULD 
SPREAD THE CORONAVIRUS, MORE AND
MORE STATES ARE TURNING TO 
MAIL-IN BALLOTS.
THE PRESIDENT CLAIMS WITHOUT 
EVIDENCE THAT WILL BRING FRAUD.
YESTERDAY HE SAID HE OPPOSED 
ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR THE POST 
OFFICE, ACKNOWLEDGING THE MONEY 
WOULD HELP DEAL WITH THE EXTRA 
MAIL.
>> President Donald Trump: IF WE
DON'T MAKE A DEAL, THAT MEANS 
THEY DON'T GET THE MONEY.
THAT MEANS THEY CAN'T HAVE 
UNIVERSAL MAIL-IN VOTING. 
>> Reporter: HE'S SINCE WALKED 
THAT BACK, SAYING HE'S WILLING 
TO FREE UP THE MONEY, PART OF A 
STALLED STIMULUS BILL, IF THE 
DEMOCRATS CAVE TO REPUBLICAN 
DEMANDS. 
>> President Donald Trump: I 
WOULD CERTAINLY DO THAT, SURE. 
>> Reporter: CRITICS SAY TRUMP 
IS REALLY AFRAID THOSE ENVELOPES
WILL HOLD MILLIONS OF VOTES FOR 
JOE BIDEN. 
>> HE'S BEEN AFRAID FOR A WHILE.
HE KNOWS THAT ON THE LEGIT IT 
WOULD BE HARD FOR HIM TO WIN, SO
HE WANTS TO PUT OBSTACLES TO 
PARTICIPATION.
>> Reporter: SOME DEMOCRATS ALSO
FEAR THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS
DISMANTLING ITSELF, WITH 
REPUBLICAN AND TRUMP DONORS AS 
POST MASTER GENERAL OVERSEEING 
MASSIVE CUTS.
>> OVER HALF OF AMERICANS ARE 
AFRAID OF WHETHER THEIR BALLOTS 
ARE GOING TO BE COUNTED AND 
WHETHER THERE'S GOING TO BE A 
FREE AND FAIR ELECTION IN THE 
FALL. 
>> Reporter: THE POST OFFICE HAS
WARNED 46 STATES THERE'S NO 
GUARANTEE VOTES WILL MAKE IT IN 
TIME.
SO WHILE NOVEMBER 3 MAY BE 
ELECTION DAY, IT MAY NOT BE 
RESULTS DAY.
>> YOU CAN BE SURE THAT TENS OF 
MILLIONS OF BALLOTS WILL NOT BE 
COUNTED ON NOVEMBER 3.
AND SO IF IT IS CLOSE ON 
ELECTION NIGHT, THEN WE SHOULD 
EXPECT THIS TO GO INTO OVERTIME.
>> Reporter: AND WHILE TRUMP 
CONDEMNS UNIVERSAL MAIL-IN 
BALLOTS, THIS WEEK HE AND WIFE 
MELANIA REQUESTED THEIR ABSENTEE

>> Ian: WELCOME BACK.
SCHOOL SHOPPING FOR KIDS WILL 
LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS 
YEAR.
ALONGSIDE PENCILS AND NOTEBOOKS,
A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE PACKING 
MASKS AND HAND SANITIZER.
WE KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE 
CONNECTED TO SCHOOLS, PARENTS, 
STUDENTS, TEACHERS ARE EAGER FOR
THE BEST MEDICAL INFORMATION ON 
MASKS AND ON CHILDREN SPREADING 
THE VIRUS, SO LET'S CHECK IN 
WITH TWO INFECTIOUS DISEASE 
SPECIALISTS, DR. LYNORA SAXINGER
AND DR. ZAIN CHAGLA, AND I KNOW 
TO BOTH OF YOU THESE THINGS KEEP
CHANGING, THE ANALYSIS, THE 
DATA, SO LET'S KEEP THAT IN MIND
AND LET'S START WITH MASKS.
A DIFFICULT TOPIC.
DR. SAXINGER, HOW EFFECTIVE ARE 
MASKS IN KEEPING SCHOOLS SAFE 
FROM COVID?
>> I THINK THAT'S THE MILLION 
DOLLAR QUESTION.
I THINK A LOT OF US THINK THAT 
MASKS ARE PLAUSIBLY GOING TO BE 
USEFUL, BUT WE WOULD NEVER WANT 
TO RELY ON THEM INSTEAD OF THE 
OTHER MEASURES, LIKE REDUCING 
CONTACT NUMBERS, INCREASING 
PHYSICAL DISTANCE, WASHING YOUR 
HANDS A LOT, HAVING GOOD 
VENTILATION IN THE SPACE, AND 
ALL OF THOSE THINGS, BECAUSE WE 
DON'T KNOW THE DEGREE TO WHICH 
MASKS MIGHT OFFSET THE RISK OF 
INFECTION IN THE CLASSROOM.
SO I THINK A LOT OF US ARE 
LOOKING FOR MORE DATA TO EVOLVE,
TO HELP US SEE HOW MUCH MASKS 
ADD AND IF THEY CAN ACTUALLY 
REPLACE THOSE OTHER MEASURES.
AT THE MOMENT, WE CAN'T SAY, AND
WE ALSO HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND 
THAT MASKS CAN BE A BIT OF A 
DETRIMENT TO COMMUNICATION AS 
WELL, AND THAT'S SOMETIMES 
IMPORTANT IN SCHOOLS TOO.
>> Ian: DR. CHAGLA, WHERE DON'T 
-- WHY DON'T YOU WEIGH IN ON 
THIS.
>> YEAH, I AGREE WITH 
DR. SAXINGER.
THERE IS A HIERARCHY OF 
INFECTION CONTROL MEASURES IN 
HOSPITALS AND IN HEALTH CARE 
SETTINGS, AND SIMILARLY IN 
SCHOOLS, PREVENTING AND 
SCREENING PEOPLE FOR COVID-19 
AND KEEPING COMMUNITY RATES LOW 
ARE PROBABLY AT THE BIGGEST END 
OF THAT PYRAMID.
THE VENTILATION, THE COHORTING 
OF CLASSROOMS IS KIND OF IN THE 
MIDDLE, AND KIND OF ON THE TOP 
OF THAT PYRAMID, THE LITTLE BIT 
LEFT, THERE IS THE MASKS, WHICH 
MAY OFFER SOME BENEFIT, BUT 
WITHOUT THOSE BIG PIECES 
UNDERNEA
UNDERNEATH, THEY ARE NOT 
EFFECTIVE ON THEIR OWN.
AND REALLY THEY SHOULD BE A PART
OF THAT BUNDLED SET.
THOSE NEED TO BE OPTIMIZED 
BEFORE MASKING IS CONSIDERED AS 
PART OF IT.
SO THEY MAY OFFER A BIT OF 
BENEFIT.
THERE ARE SCHOOL SYSTEMS THAT 
HAVE USED THEM.
THERE ARE SCHOOL SYSTEMS THAT 
HAVEN'T, AND BOTH HAVE HAD 
SUCCESSFUL STORIES, BUT 
CERTAINLY AS PART OF THAT 
BUNDLE, IT COULD BE CONSIDERED 
AS ANOTHER STEP.
>> Ian: DR. CHAGLA, LET'S TALK 
ABOUT ANOTHER BIG TOPIC THAT 
PARENTS HEAR CONFLICTING 
MESSAGES ON, AND THAT'S THE 
EXTENT OF KIDS ESPECIALLY UNDER 
THE AGE OF 12 ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO
GETTING COVID-19 AND SPREADING 
IT.
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THAT KIND 
OF AS THIS WEEK?
>> YEAH, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY 
EVOLVING THROUGH THE OUTBREAK, 
AND I THINK AT THE BEGINNING WE 
SAW CHILDREN VERY MINIMAL AMOUNT
OF CHILDREN INFECTED WHEN THE 
OUTBREAK WAS MAINLY IN CHINA AND
ITALY.
AS IT'S PROGRESSED, WE ARE 
SEEING CHILDREN AFFECTED.
I THINK THE DATA STILL SHOWS 
THAT CHILDREN ARE GETTING IT 
LESS THAN ADULTS, THAT THEY ARE 
LESS COMPLICATED THAN ADULTS, 
OTHER THAN SOME RARE CHILDREN 
THAT GET SOME COMPLICATIONS, AND
THAT THEY ARE LESS SPREADERS 
THAN ADULTS.
ADOLESCENTS PROBABLY DO APPROACH
ADULTS IN TERMS OF THEIR ABILITY
TO SPREAD, BUT THOSE YOUNGER 
CHILDREN ARE PROBABLY LESS SO IN
THAT SENSE.
THE QUESTION IS, YOU KNOW, WHEN 
YOU START SCHOOLS, WHEN YOU HAVE
YOUNG CHILDREN TOGETHER AND 
THERE'S POTENTIALLY TRANSMISSION
IN THE SCHOOLS, HOW DOES THAT 
AFFECT THE POPULATION IN TERMS 
OF TRANSMISSION AND A BIGGER 
LEVEL?
AND DOES THAT DAMPENING DOWN OF 
LESS EFFECT OF TRANSMISSION OR 
LESS EFFECT OF TRANSMITTING TO 
OTHERS HAVE BIG POPULATION 
EFFECTS, OR IS IT VERY LOCALIZED
TO LITTLE SCHOOL OUTBREAKS?
>> Ian: AND DR. SAXINGER, WHAT'S
YOUR OPINION ON THIS ISSUE OF 
KIDS UNDER 12?
>> WELL, I THINK IT KIND OF 
COMES DOWN TO A QUESTION OF FOR 
PARENTS.
DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE PUTTING 
YOUR KID AT RISK BY SENDING THEM
TO SCHOOL?
AND I THINK IN A LOT OF PLACES 
SCHOOLS PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE A 
SIMILAR SAFETY PROFILE TO THE 
REST OF THE COMMUNITY, AND SO IF
YOUR COMMUNITY IS OKAY, YOUR 
SCHOOL IS PROBABLY OKAY.
THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THERE IS 
MORE PEOPLE TOGETHER IN A SPACE.
IT IS UNUSUAL, BUT IT APPEARS TO
BE TRUE THAT KIDS ARE A LITTLE 
LESS LIKELY TO ACQUIRE SEVERE 
DISEASE AND A LITTLE LESS LIKELY
TO SPREAD DISEASE THAN OTHER 
RESPIRATORY VIRUSES WHERE 
USUALLY THEY SPREAD EVERYTHING.
THAT'S A BIT OF AN UNUSUAL 
FEATURE.
I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO 
KEEP REVIEWING DATA AS IT COMES 
IN.
I DON'T THINK SCHOOLS WILL 
LIKELY BE A BIG RISK TO 
CHILDREN.
I DO THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE 
PAYING ATTENTION TO WHETHER OR 
NOT HAVING SCHOOLS OPEN 
INFLUENCES OR AMPLIFIES DISEASE 
IN THE COMMUNITIES AROUND THE 
SCHOOLS AS WELL.
SO THAT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE 
SORTED OUT AS WE WORK THROUGH 
IT.
I THINK IT WILL BE AN EVOLUTION 
OF UNDERSTANDING OVER THE FALL.
>> Ian: I WANT TO SQUEEZE ONE 
MORE TOPIC IN HERE.
WE ONLY HAVE ABOUT A MINUTE, BUT
THE ACTOR RYAN REYNOLDS SENT A 
MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE OF BRITISH
COLUMBIA.
LET'S PLAY SOME OF THAT.
>> I HOPE THAT YOUNG PEOPLE IN 
B.C. DON'T KILL MY MOM, FRANKLY,
OR DAVID SUZUKI, OR EACH OTHER.
MY MOM, YOU KNOW, SHE DOESN'T 
WANT TO BE COOPED UP IN HER 
APARTMENT ALL DAY.
SHE WANTS TO BE OUT THERE 
CRUISING KITSILANO BEACH LOOKING
FOR SOME YOUNG 30-SOMETHING 
ABERCROMBIE BURNOUT TO GO FULL 
MRS. ROBINSON ON. 
[LAUGHTER]
>> Ian: WE HAVE PROBABLY ONLY 
ABOUT 20 SECONDS FOR EACH OF 
YOU.
LET ME START WITH YOU, 
DR. SAXINGER.
HOW CONCERNED SHOULD WE BE BY 
THE INCREASE OF THE NUMBER OF 
CASES WE'RE SEEING IN B.C. AND I
THINK EDMONTON AS WELL.
>> YEAH, EDMONTON AND B.C. ARE 
BOTH KIND OF HOT SPOTS RIGHT 
NOW, AND I THINK THAT WE'RE 
THINKING A LOT OF THAT IS DUE TO
PROBABLY MORE SOCIALIZATION AND 
MOSTLY IN YOUNGER PEOPLE.
AND THAT IS A CONCERN BECAUSE IT
MAKES ME FEEL LIKE THERE'S A 
SIMMERING POT THAT COULD BOIL 
OVER, AND WE KNOW THAT WHEN 
COVID BOILS OVER, IT CAN BE VERY
SEVERE.
IT CAN REALLY TAKE OFF QUICKLY, 
SO I THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK AT 
MEASURES TO GO BACK TO THE 
BASICS AND DO THEM VERY, VERY 
WELL TO PREVENT FURTHER 
COMMUNITY SPREAD AND GET A LID 
ON IT BEFORE SCHOOLS ARE DUE TO 
START.
I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
>> Ian: 20 SECONDS.
LAST WORD TO YOU, DR. CHAGLA. 
>> I THINK THIS IS A HIGH-RISK 
POPULATION THAT WE'RE STRUGGLING
TO DEAL WITH PUBLIC MESSAGING.
RYAN REYNOLDS TODAY IS A 
FANTASTIC EXAMPLE OF HOW PUBLIC 
MESSAGING ACTUALLY CAN WORK.
I THINK ALL OF US LOOKED AT 
THAT, HAD A GOOD LAUGH, BUT HAD 
A GOOD SHAKE OF OUR HEAD IN 
TERMS OF TRANSMISSION OF THAT 
AGE GROUP.
I THINK INNOVATION LIKE THINKING
OUTSIDE OF THE BOX AND HAVING 
FOLKS LIKE THIS ACTUALLY SPEAK 
UP MAY ACTUALLY BE GREAT TO HELP
DAMPEN THE SPREAD IN THAT 
POPULATION.
>> Ian: WELL, I REALLY 
APPRECIATE YOU AND THE OTHER 
INFECTIOUS DISEASE DOCTORS 
STEPPING FORWARD AND HELPING US 
UNDERSTAND THE CHANGING 
ENVIRONMENT HERE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> THANK YOU. 
>> ALL THE BEST.
>> Ian: COVID-19 HAS TAKEN MORE 
THAN 9,000 LIVES IN THIS 
COUNTRY.
ANTONIO CIAVARELLI WAS ONE OF 
HIM.
TONIGHT HIS DAUGHTER LAURA 
REMEMBERS HIM AND THE KINDNESS 
HE BROUGHT WITH HIM EVERYWHERE 
HE WENT.
>> MY NAME IS LAURA CIAVARELLI.
MY FATHER ANTONIO CIAVARELLI 
DIED OF COVID ON APRIL 21.
HE WAS 88 YEARS OLD.
MY FATHER WAS BORN IN A SMALL 
TOWN IN ITALY.
A FRIEND OF HIS KNEW MY MOTHER 
WHO HAD ALREADY IMMIGRATED TO 
CANADA AND THOUGHT THEY WOULD 
MAKE A GOOD MATCH.
AFTER SHARING PHOTOS AND 
LETTERS, THEY MARRIED BY PROXY.
IN 1956, MY FATHER ARRIVED IN 
CANADA AND MET HIS BEAUTIFUL 
BRIDE IN PERSON FOR THE FIRST 
TIME.
MY FATHER WAS A KIND AND 
GENEROUS SOUL, AND HE BROUGHT 
WITH HIM THE TRADITIONS OF WINE 
MAKING AND TOMATO CANNING AND 
VEGETABLE GARDENING.
HE LOVED TO SPEND TIME OUTDOORS 
IN HIS FRUIT AND VEGETABLE 
GARDEN, AND HE WAS KNOWN FOR HIS
MOST AMAZING TOMATOES.
MY PARENTS ONE SUMMER TRAVELLED 
TO ITALY AND LEFT ME TO TAKE 
CARE OF THE GARDEN.
I OVERWATERED IT, AND NEEDLESS 
TO SAY WE HAD NO TOMATOES THAT 
YEAR, AND I REMEMBER MY FATHER 
JUST SHAKING HIS HEAD AND 
SMILING AND TELLING ME IT WAS 
OKAY.
HIS KINDNESS AND HIS GENEROSITY 
WERE FELT BY EVERYONE WHO KNEW 
HIM.
HE WOULD GREET YOU WITH A HUGE 
SMILE AND A CONTAGIOUS CHUCKLE.
HE SHARED HIS FOOD AND HIS WINE,
AND HE SENT YOU HOME WITH A BIG 
BASKET OF FRESH PRODUCE FROM HIS
GARDEN.
MY SISTER AND I LEARNED THE 
VALUE OF HARD WORK AND 
DETERMINATION, BUT MOST 
IMPORTANTLY HE TAUGHT US 
KINDNESS AND GIVING AND HOW IT 
LEADS TO HAPPY AND HEALTHY LIFE.
IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, WE WERE 
LUCKY THAT WE COULD VIDEO 
CONFERENCE WITH HIM AND SPEND 
HIS LAST MOMENTS WITH HIM.
WE WILL MISS HIM SO MUCH.
>> Ian: WE'VE GATHERED MORE 
STORIES OF CANADIANS LOST TO 
COVID-19 ON OUR WEBSITE.

>>> NEXT ON "THE NATIONAL," A 
NEW VENUE FOR MUSICIANS AND FANS

STAGE.
THEY WERE JUST LIKE, I'VE NEVER 
USED MINECRAFT BEFORE.
>> Ian: HOW VIDEO GAMES COULD BE
THE ANSWER AND WHY THIS 
PIXELLATED FIX COULD BE HERE TO 
STAY.

>> Ian: THE PANDEMIC HAS PUT AN 
END TO MOST PUBLIC GATHERINGS, 
LIKE CONCERTS AND FESTIVALS, AND
WHILE IT MAY NOT BE BUSINESS AS 
USUAL, THERE ARE SOME UNIQUE 
SOLUTIONS FOR THESE 
UNPRECEDENTED TIMES.
THIS WEEK A TORONTO BAND HELD 
TWO BIG DRIVE-IN CONCERTS WITH 
MORE THAN 600 CARS FILLED WITH 
MUSIC FANS.
AND PEOPLE IN THE U.K. GATHERED 
FOR A PHYSICALLY DISTANT CONCERT
IN A CUSTOM-BUILT VENUE.
MEANWHILE, OTHER CONCERT SPACES 
DURING THE PANDEMIC ARE ENTIRELY
VIRTUAL.
TONIGHT A MUSIC FESTIVAL IS

THIS IS THE BAND COURIER CLUB.
WHEN THE PANDEMIC CANCELLED 
THEIR TOUR, THEY CREATED THEIR 
OWN FESTIVAL, BLOCK BY 
BLOCKWEST.
THEY DIDN'T DO IT FOR THE MONEY.
MOST EVENTS ARE FREE.
FOR THEM, IT'S ABOUT STAYING 
CONNECTED TO THE FANS.
>> I THINK THAT THIS HAS VALUE 
BECAUSE ONE THING IT DOES IS IT 
KNOCKS DOWN MONETARY 
RESTRICTIONS.
IT KNOCKS DOWN GEOGRAPHICAL 
RESTRICTIONS.

HAVE A GREAT TIME. 
>> Ian: A DREAM COME TRUE FOR 
THIS 90-YEAR-OLD IN SASKATOON.
A NOSTALGIC MOMENT IS TONIGHT'S 
"MOMENT."
>> Ian: JO REED HOPPED ABOARD A 
TIGER MOTH BIPLANE WHEN SHE WAS 
18 YEARS OLD.
THAT WAS BACK IN 1947.
HER BROTHER WAS HER PILOT, AND 
JO'S DREAM EVER SINCE WAS TO GET
UP THERE AGAIN, AND TODAY, ON 
HER 90TH BIRTHDAY, THAT DREAM 
CAME TRUE.
72 YEARS LATER SHE TOOK TO THE 
SKIES IN ANOTHER TIGER MOTH.
THAT HAD TO BE OUR "MOMENT."
*
>> AND IS THIS THE BIRTHDAY 
FLIGHT?
>> THIS IS SO. 
>> CAN SHE HEAR ME?
>> SHE CAN SO. 
>> * HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU 
HAVE A GREAT TIME.
>> IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE.
I NEVER THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, I'D 
HAVE A CHANCE TO DO IT AGAIN.
WHEN I HEARD THERE WAS ONE IN 
THE MUSEUM HERE AND TALKED TO MY
NIECE, SHE SAID, OH, I'LL SEE IF
I CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
AND THEN I HAVE BEEN COUNTING SO
MANY SLEEPS UNTIL I GET MY 
FLIGHT. 
>> SO HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE
YOU WERE IN A TIGER MOTH?
>> I WAS 18 AND I'M 90 NOW. 
>> THAT WAS A FEW YEARS AGO, SO 
WE'RE GOING TO GO HAVE SOME FUN,
IF THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU. 
>> OKAY. 
>> IT WAS WONDERFUL, AND HE 
DIDN'T DO ANY ACROBATICS, BUT 
TIPPED ME OFF A FEW TIMES.
IT WAS SO QUIET AND BEAUTIFUL.
>> Ian: SO I'M NOT AFRAID OF 
FLYING.
IN FACT, I LOVE BEING UP IN 
PLANES, BUT THERE'S NOT A LOT, 
IT FEELS LIKE, BETWEEN THE 
PERSON WHO'S SITTING THERE AND, 
LIKE, THE WIDE OPEN SKY.
HER BROTHER APPARENTLY SO MANY 
YEARS AGO WOULD TRY TO GET HER 
TO SCREAM BY DOING LOOPS, BUT AS
YOU HEARD HERE, A LITTLE BIT 
MORE GENTLE BUT STILL PRETTY
EXCITING, AND A NICE WAY TO END 
THE WEEK'S "NATIONALS."
THAT IS THE PROGRAM FOR AUGUST 
14.
SEE YOU SUNDAY.
