ALARMING NEW NUMBERS ON JOB
LOSSES IN OUR PROVINCE TONIGHT,
STARK CONFIRMATION THAT THE
RAVAGES OF COVID-19 EXTEND
BEYOND THE HUMAN TOLL.
MORE ON THAT IN JUST A SECOND.
FIRST A LOOK AT THE LATEST
COVID-19 NUMBERS FOR B.C.
PROVINCIAL HEALTH OFFICER Dr.
BONNIE HENRY IS REPORTING 29 NEW
CASES TONIGHT AND ONE ADDITIONAL
DEATH.
THAT BRINGS B.C.'S TOTAL NUMBER
OF COVID-19 DEATHS TO 127.
ON THE WORK FRONT, B.C. LOST
ALMOST 400,000 JOBS IN MARCH AND
APRIL DUE TO THE PANDEMIC.
NEARLY HALF THE LOSSES, 47%, ARE
IN THE FOOD SERVICE AND RETAIL
SECTORS.
PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU
SAYS IS THE EMERGENCY WAGE
SUBSIDY PROGRAM WILL BE EXTENDED
PAST JUNE, DETAILS NEXT WEEK.
TRANSLINK IS SUSPENDING PLANNED
REDUCTIONS TO ITS SERVICE AND IS
RESCINDING ABOUT 1500 LAYOFF
NOTICES ISSUE LAST MONTH.
SERVICE CUTS WERE SUPPOSED TO
HAPPEN AFTER THE LONG WEEKEND.
>>> TENNIS, ANYONE?
THE VANCOUVER PARK BOARD IS
REOPENING SOME TENNIS AND PICKLE
BALL COURTS TOMORROW.
PLAY WILL BE ALLOWED UNDER
STRICT GUIDELINES AT 453 COURTS
AT SEVEN LOCATIONS.
THE REMAINING 135 CITY COURTS
WILL REOPEN THROUGHOUT NEXT
WEEK.
>>> AND HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE
REMINDING US PHASE II OF B.C.'S
RESTART PLAN DOESN'T BEGIN, FOR
THE MOST PART, UNTIL AFTER THE
LONG WEEKEND.
IT WILL BEGIN WITH ALLOWING
SMALL GATHERINGS OF TWO TO SIX
PEOPLE LIKE BACKYARD BARBECUES,
AS LONG AS PEOPLE AREN'T SICK OR
SHOWING ANY SIGNS OF COVID-19.
>>> WHETHER IT'S JUST FOR A
FILLING, OR A CHECKUP, DENTISTS
IN B.C. ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
HOW THEY MIGHT OPEN BY MAY 19 S
THAT'S WHEN THE PROVINCE WOULD
LIKE TO SEE DENTAL PATIENTS
RETURN.
BUT AS TINA LOVGREEN EXPLAINS
TONIGHT, A SHORTAGE IN PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT MIGHT PUT A
HALT TO THOSE PLANS.
>> SO THIS IS OUR FACE SHIELDS
AND OUR SURGICAL MASKS.
>> Reporter: Dr. NICK SEDIN
HAS BEEN CONDUCTING EMERGENCY
DENTAL PROCEDURES FOR THE LAST
MONTH AND IS GEARING UP TO
INCREASE THE SCOPE AND NUMBER OF
PATIENTS HE'S ALLOWED TO SEE
COME MAY 19.
>> WE'RE LIMITED IN TERMS OF
WHAT WE HAVE LEFT FOR P.P.E.,
AND WE'RE HOPING OUR SUPPLIER
WILL PROVIDE MASK, ISOLATION
ROBES, AND OF WHAT YOU.
THAT'S THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE,
OUR SUPPLIES DON'T RUN DRY SO WE
CAN'T SEE PATIENTS.
>> SOME CLINICS MAY NOT IT BE
PATIENTS AT ALL.
BUT EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF
PROTECTIVE GEAR THEY'LL NEED IS
STILL TO BE DECIDED.
>> WE AS DONATESES WANT TO MAKE
SURE FROM THE COLLEGE IS THAT
IT'S BASED ON THE SCIENCE AND
THERE'S LITERATURE TO BACK IT
UP.
>> Reporter: BUT THINGS ARE
SURE TO LOOK DIFFERENT THE NEXT
TIME YOU GO IN.
>> WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE NO ONE
IS COMING FROM WHO IS
POTENTIALLY INFECTIOUS.
WE'RE DOING A FOREHEAD
THERMOMETER READING MAKING SURE
THEY'RE BELOW 38º CELSIUS AND
WE'RE HAVING THEM WASH THEIR
HANDS RIGHT AWAY, A HYDROGEN
PEROXIDE RINSE FOR 60 SECONDS.
>> Reporter: PATIENT WILL ALSO
BE SCREENED FOR SYMPTOMS OVER
THE PHONE, AND WAITING AREAS
WILL BE SPACED OUT.
THE B.C. DENTAL ASSOCIATION SAYS
DENTISTS HAVE A LOT OF
EXPERIENCE MANAGING INFECTION
RISKS FROM VARIOUS ILLNESSES SO
THERE WILL JUST BE ADDED LAYERS.
>> ALWAYS WORN GLOVES, MASKS,
EYE PROTECTION.
THAT WILL CONTINUE.
YOU MAY WELL SEE THE ADDITION OF
GOWNS, AND THE OTHER THING THAT
WILL -- WILL DENTISTS WILL USE
IS A FACE SHIELD.
>> Reporter: WITH A BACKLOG OF
PATIENTS, OFFICES WILL HAVE TO
BOOK APPOINTMENTS BASED ON
URGENCY.
TINA LOVGREEN, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Mike: RESULTS OF A NEW
PUBLIC OPINION POLL SUGGEST
BRITISH COLUMBIANS ARE MOSTLY
SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROVINCE'S
GRADUAL REOPENING PLAN.
THE INSIGHTS WEST POLL DONE
RIGHT AFTER PREMIER JOHN HORGAN
UNVEILED THE PLAN ON WEDNESDAY
FOUND A TOTAL OF THE 79% BACKED
THE PLAN.
32% STRONGLY SUPPORT IT WHILE
47% SOMEWHAT SUPPORT IT.
YOUNGER BRITISH COLUMBIANS ARE A
LITTLE LESS SUPPORTIVE THAN
OLDER ONES, BUT WHETHER IT COMES
TO THE PACE, 41% SAY IT'S TOO
FAST WHILE 46% SAY IT'S JUST
RIGHT.
1747 RESIDENTS WERE POLLED.
>>> AS MENTIONED, ALMOST 400,000
JOBS HAVE BEEN LOST IN OUR
PROVINCE SINCE THE PANDEMIC HIT.
IT'S PUSHING APRIL'S
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE TO AN
UNPRECEDENTED 11 AND A HALF
PERCENT.
IT WAS JUST 5% IN FEBRUARY.
HALF OF THE JOB LOOSES WERE IN
THE FOOD AND RETAIL SECTORS.
A CRITICAL INDICATOR WILL BE JOB
NUMBERS COME MAY AND JUNE.
THE PROVINCE WILL BE REVIEWING
ALL ITS DEFERRALS AND PANDEMIC
PROGRAMS AS WE GET A BETTER
SENSE OF WHAT THE LONGER TERM
IMPACTS MIGHT BE.
>> I THINK WE HAVE A LONG ROAD
AHEAD.
I DON'T WANT TO SUGAR COAT THIS.
I THINK THIS WILL BE A
CHALLENGING ROAD AHEAD, BUT I'M
ALSO CONFIDENT WITH THE WORK
THAT'S HAPPENING, WITH THE WORK
WE'RE SEEING AROUND THE RE-START
AND THE WAY BUSINESSES ARE
STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE IN
SECTORS, BUSINESS SECTORS
STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE, I'M
CONFIDENT THAT WE'RE GOING TO
SEE SOME VERY STRONG WORK AND
START TO SEE THAT RECOVERY
OCCUR.
>> Mike: MORE THAN 400,000
PEOPLE HAVE APPLIED FOR B.C.
EMERGENCY WORKER BENEFITS SINCE
APPLICATIONS OPENED ONE WEEK
AGO.
>>> NATIONALLY THE UNEMPLOYMENT
FIGURE WAS EQUALLY DIRE, JUMPING
TO 13%.
AS JULIE VAN DUSEN REPORTS, IT
OTTAWA WAS QUICK TO REACT,
EXTENDING THE WAGE SUBSIDY
PROGRAM PAST JUNE.
>> Reporter: IT'S ECONOMIC
CARNAGE OUT THERE, TWO MILLION
PEOPLE PUSHED OUT OF WORK JUST
IN THE MONTH OF APRIL.
THREE MILLION IF YOU ADD THE
NUMBERS FOR MARCH.
NO MYSTERY WHY SO MANY JOBS WERE
WIPED OUT.
COVID-19 IS TO BLAME.
>> SAD TO KNOW THAT I'M PART OF
THAT NUMBER.
>> Reporter: JENNIFER TAYLOR
LOST HER JOB AS A BARTENDERS ON
MARCH 16.
SHE'S BEEN TOLD US SHE CAN

BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO WORK SOON.
BUT IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE
A DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERE.
>> Reporter: 12 MILLION
CANADIANS ARE STILL WORKING,
MANY IN ESSENTIAL SERVICES
INCLUDING HEALTH CARE, GROCERY
STORES, AND OTHER PARTS OF THE
FOOD SECTOR.
ABOUT FIVE MILLION OF THOSE HAVE
A NEW JOB SITE.
THEIR OFFICE IS NOW AT HOME.
BUT THE GOVERNMENT HAS SPENT
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS PROPPING UP
UNEMPLOYED WORKERS, MORE THAN
MILLION CANADIANS HAVE APPLIED
FOR THE CERB, THE C EMERGENCY
RESPONSE BENEFIT, AND TODAY
JUSTIN TRUDEAU EXTENDED BEYOND
JUNE ANOTHER SUBSIDY, THE WAGE
SUBSIDY THAT COVERS 75% OF AN
EMPLOYEE'S PAY.
>> Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau:
THE WAGE SUBSIDY WILL BE THERE
FOR YOU TO KEEP YOUR EMPLOYEES
ON THE PAYROLL.
>> Reporter: HOW LONG WILL THE
GOVERNMENT HAVE TO CONTINUE
THESE BENEFITS?
NO ONE KNOWS.
BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS WHEN
COVID-19 WILL BE OVER AND ALL
CANADIANS CAN FINALLY GET BACK
TO WORK SAFELY.
THIS COMMERCIAL PAINTER IS
HOPING IT'S SOON.
>> I HAVE A FEELING MAYBE IN A
COUPLE OF WEEKS I'LL BE BACK TO
WORK.
>> WHAT GIVES YOU THAT FEELING?
>> JUST MAYBE I'M HOPEFUL.
>> Reporter: HOPE, THAT'S WHAT
EVERYONE IS HANGING ON TO AS
MANY PROVINCES START TO REOPEN
VERY TENTATIVELY WITH NO
ASSURANCE THE VIRUS WON'T COME
BACK WITH A VENGEANCE.
JULIE VAN DUSEN, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> Mike: SOME RESTRICTIONS
WILL LIFT IN THE COMING WEEKS
BUT IT'S STILL GOING TO BE A
WHILE BEFORE YOU CAN GO TO A BIG
CONCERT, FESTIVAL OR CONFERENCE.
LARGE GATHERS ARE AT THE TAIL
END OF B.C.'S PHASED REOPENING
PROGRAM.
MUSICIANS AND CONCERT PROMOTERS
ARE BRACING FOR THE IMPACT.
>> Reporter: FOR TYLER
BANCROFT, MOST DAYS ARE SPENT IN
THIS BACKYARD STUDIO, MIXING
MUSIC AND RUNNING THROUGH THE
NUMBERS.
>> THE IMPACT IS SEVERE REVENUE
LOSS.
YOU KNOW, OUR BOTTOM LINE IS
LOOKING PRETTY TIGHT.
SO THAT HAS US SWEATING A LITTLE
BIT.
AND WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IT.
SO ALL WE CAN DO IS TRY AND
EMBRACE THE THINGS THAT WE DO
HAVE CONTROL OF.
>> Reporter: THE SUMMER
USUALLY MEANS TOURING AND
PLAYING OUTDOOR FESTIVALS BUT
NOT THIS YEAR.
LIVE CONCERTS AND LARGE
GATHERINGS WON'T BE ALLOWED
UNTIL THERE'S A SUCCESSFUL
COVID-19 TREATMENT.
>> THESE ARE THE ENVIRONMENTS
WHERE WE FLOW THIS VIRUS CAN
TAKE -- KNOW THIS VIRUS CAN TAKE
OFF.
AND OFTEN IT'S YOUNG PEOPLE WHO
MAY NOT REALIZE THEY'RE INFECTED
OR HAVE MILD ILLNESS AND BRING
IT HOME TO OUR FAMILIES AND OUR
COMMUNITIES.
>> Reporter: FROM ARENA SHOWS
TO STREET FESTIVALS COULD BE OFF
THE TABLE FOR UPWARDS OF A YEAR,
A HEAVY HIT TO VENUE OWNERS.
>> WE'RE GOING TO LOSE A LOT OF
VENUES.
A LOT OF THE SMALLER VENUES WE
LOVE PLAYING AND THAT ARE KIND
OF HANGING ON BY A THREAD ON A
GOOD DAY ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE
IT THROUGH.
>> Reporter: BUT AN EVEN
BIGGER LIT TO THE PROVINCIAL
ECONOMY.
LIVE MUSIC AND FESTIVALS
GENERATE UPWARDS OF $600 MILLION
ACROSS SECTORS IN VANCOUVER
ALONE.
PROVINCE-WIDE, THAT NUMBER GROWS
TO ABOUT 800 MILLION, ON TOP OF
THAT, CONFERENCES CONTRIBUTE AN
EXTRA $300 MILLION EACH YEAR.
>> LOOK AT THE AUXILIARY
REVENUE, BAR SALES AND FOOD
TRUCKS AND ALL THESE THINGS THAT
CONTRIBUTE TO THE BOTTOM LINE OF
A FOR PROFIT EVENT OR A
NONPROFIT EVENT.
IT'S A HUGE, HUGE IMPACT AND IT
TRICKLES STRAIGHT DOWN.
>> I REALLY HOPE THAT GOVERNMENT
FUNDING IS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE
FOR THOSE BUSINESSES AND THAT IT
DOES CUT IT FOR THEM.
>> Reporter: SO IN THE
MEANTIME, BANDS LIKE SAID THE
WHALE ARE GETTING CREATIVE AND
PUTTING ON VIRTUAL SHOWS.

DEADLINE FOR OPPENHEIMER PARK
RESIDENTS IN VANCOUVER TO MOVE
OUT OF THEIR ENCAMPMENT.
BUT THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT IS
PUSHING BACK THE DEADLINE TO
DISMANTLE TENT INSIGHTS VICTORIA
IN RESPONSE TO THE CORONAVIRUS
PANDEMIC.
MAY 9 HAD BEEN THE DEADLINE TO
HOUSE THE INHABITS OF TOPAZ PARK
AND PANDORA AVENUE AND
VANCOUVER'S OPPENHEIMER PARK BUT
SO FAR ONLY OPPENHEIMER HAS SEEN
MOST TENT DEFERRALS MOVED TO
TEMPORARY ACCOMMODATION.
THE DEADLINE B.C. IS NOW AIMING
FOR IS MAY 20 FOR VICTORIA.
B.C.'S MINISTER OF SOCIAL
DEVELOPMENT, SHANE SIMPSON, SAYS
MORE TIME IS NEEDED TO MOVE
PEOPLE SAFELY.
>> WHEN WE RETURN TO A NEW
NORMAL AFTER COVID-19, WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT THE NEW NORMAL
DOES NOT MEAN PEOPLE ARE FORCED
BACK TO THE STREET AND BACK TO
HOMELESSNESS.

ORDERED THE SITES TAKEN DOWN
APRIL 25 OVER OUTBREAK CONCERNS
AND THE UNSAFE AND DENSE
CONDITIONS.
SO FAR MORE THAN 320 PEOPLE HAVE
MOVED TO SAFE ACCOMMODATION,
BOTH IN VANCOUVER AND VICTORIA.
227 OF THOSE FROM THE
OPPENHEIMER PARK AREA.
>>> MEANWHILE, VANCOUVER POLICE
SAY THEY MADE QUITE THE FIND AT
OPPENHEIMER PARK TODAY.
THEY SEIZED A PILE OF WEAPONS
AND A VERY UNEXPECTED PET.
YEAH, THAT'S AN EIGHT FOOT BOA
CONSTRICTOR.
THE SNAKE WAS FOUND ALONGSIDE A
CACHE OF WEAPONS AFTER SOMEONE
CALLED 911 ABOUT A MAN FIGHTING
WITH A MACHETE.
THE FORCE SAYS OFFICERS
EVENTUALLY FOUND A LOADED
SHOTGUNS, FOR REPLICA HANDGUNS,
A CRASS BO, SEVERAL KNIVES, AXES
AND WOODEN CLUBS WITH NAILS,
AMONG OTHER THINGS.
ONE PERSON WAS ARRESTED.
ANIMAL SERVICES STAFF SEIZED THE
SNAKE.

THERE WILL BE NO FANCY BRUNCH IN
A RESTAURANT OR EVEN A FAMILY
DINNER DINNER AT HOME THIS
MOTHER'S DAY BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN
YOU CAN'T DROP OFF SOME FLOWERS

STILL, MANY FLOWER SHOPS AND
BAKERIES HAVE MORE REQUESTS THAN
THEY CAN POSSIBLY FILL THIS
YEAR.

TOGETHER ON SUNDAY, SENDING MOM
FANCY FLOWERS FROM A REAL

THURSDAY.

THAT WE ARE DOING OUR BEST, BUT
WE ARE WORK WITH UNDER
LIMITATIONS, RESTRICTIONS, A
SMALLER CREW OF PEOPLE.
>> Reporter: BUT FOR THOSE WHO
HAVE SEEN A DRAMATIC DROP IN
BUSINESS, A DAY PAYING HOMAGE TO

ESPECIALLY WHEN IT INCLUDES
SPENDING MONEY IS A WELCOME

PLACED AND PAID.
SO THERE ARE NO EXTRA CAKES THAT
I CAN SELL, OR EXTRA PASTRIES
THAT I CAN SELL.
EVERYTHING IS SOLD OUT.

MOTHER'S DAY IS GOING TO BE
DIFFERENT THIS YEAR.

WELL, IF YOU THINK THE PANDEMIC
IS THE PERFECT TIME TO GET A
PUPPY YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
MORE AND MORE CANADIANS ARE
CHOOSING TO USE THIS TIME
INDOORS TO TRAIN A NEW PET, BUT
THAT'S CAUSING SOME TROUBLE FOR
SOME HOPEFUL PET OWNERS, AS MORE
AND MORE SCAMMERS ARE CLAWING
THEIR WAY IN.
>> Reporter: IT SEEMS
CANADIANS CAN'T HELP BUT FALL

DEFINITELY ALL THE RAGE.

>> Reporter: THEY MET A WOMAN
OUTSIDE A HOME IN BRAMPTON, PAID
HER $3,500 AND WHEN THEY GOT THE
PUP HOME THEY REALIZED KUBO WAS
ONLY FOUR WEEKS OLD, FAR TOO
YOUNG TO HAVE BEEN SOLD.
THEN THE SELLER DIDN'T RETURN
HER CALLS, TEXTS OR E-MAILS.
SHE DIDN'T EVEN LIVE AT THE HOME
WHERE THEY MET HER.
SINCE THEN SHE'S HEARD FROM
OTHERS WHO WERE SCAMMED, SOLD
MIXED DOGS AS PURE BREDS, PEOPLE
WHO SENT A DEPOSIT NEVER TO HEAR

CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Mike: WELL, NO SIGNS OF
PHYSICAL DISTANCING AT THIS NEW
BRUNSWICK BEACH.
HAVE A LOOK.
THIS FEEDING FRENZY WAS CAPTURED
ON VIDEO IN BATHURST, THIS WEEK.
SEVERAL TIMES OF BIRDS ARE
TAKING PART IN THE BUFFET OF ILE
FISH, INCLUDING CORMORANTS,
GULLS, AND DUCKS.
PRETTY IMPRESSIVE SIGHT;
ESPECIALLY FROM A SAFE DISTANCE.
REALLY CHOWING DOWN THERE.
ALL RIGHT, STAY WITH US.
OUR Q AND A ON TRAVEL ADVICE
WITH DAVID GILMOUREN IS COMING
UP -- DAVID GILLEN IS COMING UP
IN JUST A COUPLE OF SECONDS.
STAY WITH US.
>> Mike: HERE ARE SOME OF THE
STORIES WE'RE FOLLOWING TONIGHT
ON CBC VANCOUVER NEWS.
>>> THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN B.C.
HOSPITALIZED DUE TO COVID-19 HAS
DROPPED TO 73, INCLUDING 20
PATIENTS IN INTENSIVE CARE
UNITS.
THE PROVINCE CONFIRMING 29 NEW
CASES OF THE VIRUS TODAY.
THERE HAS ALSO BEEN ONE MORE
DEATH, BRINGING OUR PROVINCE'S
TOTAL TO 127.
>> I THINK WE'VE GOT A HARD ROAD
AHEAD.
I DON'T WANT TO SUGAR COAT THIS.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A
CHALLENGING ROAD AHEAD.
>> Mike: ALMOST 400,000 JOBS
HAVE BEEN LOST IN OUR PROVINCE
SINCE THE PANDEMIC HIT.
IT PUSHED APRIL'S UNEMPLOYMENT
RATE TO AN UNPRECEDENTED 11.5%.
IT WAS JUST 5% BACK IN FEBRUARY.
BUT HALF THE JOB LOSSES OVER THE
PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WERE IN
THE FOOD AND RETAIL SECTORS.
>> WITHOUT THE NECESSARY
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT I DON'T
THINK IT'S FEASIBLE THAT OFFICES
CAN OPEN.
>> TENTS IN B.C. ARE TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT HOW THEY MAY OPEN BY
MAY 19, WHEN THE PROVINCE WOULD
LIKE TO SEE DENTAL PATIENT
RETURN, BAUGH SHORTAGE IN
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
MIGHT PUT A HALT TO SOME OF
THOSE PLANS.
>> AT 6:36, IT'S THAT TIME IN
OUR NEWSCAST TO ASK ONE OF OUR
EXPERTS AND TONIGHT WE'RE JOINED
BY DAVID GILLEN FROM THE SAUDER
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, THE DIRECTOR
OF U.B.C.'S CENTRE FOR
TRANSPORTATION STUDIES.
>>> DAVID, THANKS SO MUCH FOR
DOING THIS WITH US TONIGHT.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
>> MY PLEASURE.
>> Mike: LET ME ASK YOU, FIRST
OF ALL, WE'VE HEARD WHAT HEALTH
OFFICIALS HAVE SAID ABOUT
NONESSENTIAL TRAVEL GOING
FORWARD.
BUT IS IT YOUR SENSE THAT PEOPLE
ARE ANXIOUS TO GO SOMEWHERE,
WHETHER THAT BE IN OUR OWN
PROVINCE, OR PERHAPS ABROAD?
JAEL THAT'S CERTAINLY TRUE.
THERE'S TWO SCHOOLS THAT I'VE
HEARD.
ONE IS THAT THERE'S A LOT OF
PENT UP FRUSTRATION WITH HAVING
BEEN IN ISOLATION OR SO LONG, SO
WE'LL WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GET
AWAY, WHETHER IT'S A TRIP,
PROVINCIALLY OR
INTERPROVINCIALLY.
TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY I THINK
WILL BE A LONG TIME COMING.
ON THE OTHER HAND, AND I WOULD
ASCRIBE TO THIS, IS I THINK
TRAVEL IS GUILTY RECOVER SLOWLY
AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO TAKE A
WHILE FOR THE AIRLINES AND THE
AIRPORT TO PUT IN PLACE THE
APPROPRIATE MEASURES AND
ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT THAT
WILL FACILITATE TRAVEL.
>> Mike: ALL RIGHT, THAT LEADS
US TO A QUESTION ON FACEBOOK
FROM NAKITA:
IS AIR TRAVEL EVER GOING TO GO
BACK TO HOW IT WAS BEFORE, AND
HOW LONG MIGHT IT BE UNTIL WE'RE
LOOKING AT JUMPING ON A FLIGHT
SOMEWHERE?
>> I WOULD THINK THAT DOMESTIC
TRAVEL IS PROBABLY GOING TO PICK
UP BY DECEMBER, IT'S NOT NEARLY
TO THE EXTENT THAT IT WAS
PREVIOUSLY.
IN THE PAST, FIVE YEARS, WE'VE
SEEN AN UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH IN
AIR TRAVEL FROM BOTH THE
MILLENNIALS AND GENZERS.
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL WILL BE
MUCH MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE
THERE'S MANY RESTRICTIONS PUT IN
PLACE ON BORDERS AND I ALSO
THINK THE AIRLINES --
EXPERIENCING AUDIO DIFFICULTY)
>> Mike: WE'RE JUST HAVING A
BIT OF TROUBLE WITH THE
CONNECTION WITH YOU, DAVID.
WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO RECTIFY
THAT.
BUT LET'S KEEP GOING AND ASK YOU
A QUESTION FROM JULIE ANNE ON
FACEBOOK.
WE HAVE A CRUISE BOOKED FOR
EARLY DECEMBER THIS YEAR.
WONDERING IF THINGS MIGHT BE A
GO BY THEN.
>> I -- I WOULD PUT THAT AS
PROBABLY LESS THAN 50%.
I THINK THE CRUISE INDUSTRY IS
SUFFERING DRAMALY.
ILLUSTRATES THE POSTER CHILDS OF
WHAT NOT TO DO.
AND I THINK THE NUMBER OF PLANES
GOING INTO CRUISE CENTRE
DESTINATIONS WILL BE LESS AS
WELL.
BECAUSE IN THE RECOVERY AIRLINES
HAVE CUT CAPACITY BY 85 TO 90%
AND THEY'LL COVER THAT, I THINK
THERE WILL BE REALLY SCALED DOWN
CAPACITY.
DELTA AIRLINES THIS WEEK JUST
CHANGED 89,000 FLIGHTS IN THEIR
SCHEDULE.
SO I WOULD PROBABLY -- IF I WERE
(INDISCERNIBLE) TO DO THAT I
WOULD PROBABLY DELAY IT FOR AT
LEAST SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR.
>> Mike: WE'VE GOT A QUESTION
FROM NADIA, E-MAIL, TALKING
ABOUT AIRLINE CREDITS:
IS IT LIKELY THE AIRLINES MIGHT
EXTEND THEIR CREDIT TIMELINES
BECAUSE OF WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> I THINK THAT'S CERTAINLY
TRUE.
I THINK THAT THE AIRLINES,
BECAUSE THEY'VE SUFFERED SUCH
SIGNIFICANT LOGSES AND ARE
TRYING TO PRESERVE CASH, BUT
THEY ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THEY
HAVE TO ALSO REGAIN CUSTOMER
LOYALTY, AND ONE OF THE WAYS OF
DOING THAT IS RECOGNIZING THAT
CUSTOMERS RUSS STUCK, AND
THEY'RE STUCK BOTH IN TERMS OF
THEIR ABILITY TO GET INTO THE
AIRPORTS, AND TO TRAVEL, BUT
ALSO STUCK IN TERMS OF WANTING
TO GET TO THE DESTINATIONS THEY
SAID PLANNED TO GO ON,
PARTICULARLY INTERNATIONAL AND
EVEN TRANS-BORDERS DESTINATIONS.
MIKE ALL RIGHT, GLORIA CALLED IN
TO SAY SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO GO ON
A TOUR TO THE U.K. IN AUGUST.
IS IT TIME TO CANCEL?
PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR
CANCELLATION INSURANCE.
MIGHT I GET ANY OF THAT BACK?
>> SILDS DEFINITELY CANCEL THAT
HE, AND AS FOR THE INSURANCE, I
DON'T KNOW.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT POLICIES AND
DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS, SO THAT
WOULD BE -- IF YOU BOUGHT
CANCELLATION INSURANCE THERE
SHOULD NOT BE A MAJOR ISSUE AND
WHETHER YOU CAN YOU CAN APPEAL
FOR FEDERAL OR OTHER AGENCIES,
IF YOU WERE A TOURIST GUIDE OR
AGENT, (INDISCERNIBLE).
>> Mike: I WANT TO ASK YOU
ABOUT LOCAL TRAVEL.
THERE'S AN E-MAIL FROM SHANNON
TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WITH
PROPERTIES IN WASHINGTON STATE,
AND OF COURSE PEOPLE HAVE
PROPERTIES ELIMINATION WHERE IN
THE PROVINCE.
MIGHT WE SEE PEOPLE, YOU KNOW,
REALLY CHAMPIONING AT THE BIT TO
GET TO THOSE PLACES?
>> I WOULD THINK SO.
YOU'RE CERTAINLY SEEING THAT AS
SPRING HAS EVOLVED AND WE'RE
MOVING INTO SUMMER, AND
CERTAINLY IN THE LOWER MAINLAND
WE HAVE THESE VERY LONG
WONDERFUL SUNNY DAYS.
PEOPLE ARE REALLY ANXIOUS TO GET
OUT AND GET TO THEIR SUMMER
PLACES, IN PART THEY WOULD LIKE
TO BE ISOLATED BECAUSE THEY FEEL
PROTECTED THERE.
BUT THAT ACCESS; I THINK IS
GOING TO BE A WHILE COMING, AND
GETTING ACROSS THE U.S. BORDER.
THAT WOULD CERTAINLY BE DEEMED
NONESSENTIAL TRAVEL.
>> Mike: ALL RIGHT, BECAUSE AS
WE KNOW, IF YOU COME BACK INTO
THE COUNTRY IT'S 14 DAYS OF
QUARANTINE.
SO GOTTA KEEP THAT IN MIND AS
WELL.
>>> DAVID, THANKS SO MUCH FOR
DOING THIS TONIGHT, ANSWERING
THESE QUESTIONS.
WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
>> OH, YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.
>> PROFESSOR DAVID GIL-L-N,
DIRECTOR FOR B.C.'S TRANSITION
STUDIES.
>> COMING UP, THE PRIVATE GROUP
CHAT CONVERSATIONS THAT HAVE
LEVERAGED SOME CANADIAN HOCKEY
PLAYERS.

DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER TONIGHT,
LOOKING ACROSS THE NORTH SHORE
OH, IS IT GOING TO BE NICE FOR
MOTHER'S DAY ON THE SOUTH COAST?
WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT
>> Mike: ACROSS THE U.S.
TONIGHT, THERE ARE STILL MANY
QUESTIONS AND A LOT OF ANGER
OVER THE DEATH OF A MAN IN
GEORGIA.
EVEN THOUGH MURDER CHARGES HAVE
NOW BEEN LAID.
AHMED ARBERY WAS OUT JOGGING IN
FEBRUARY WHEN TWO WHITE MEN SHOT
AND KILLED HIM IN THE STREET S
THE CASE IS IS BEING CALLED A
MODERN-DAY LYNCHING.
>> Reporter: TODAY SHOULD HAVE
BEEN AHMAD ARBERY'S 26th
BIRTHDAY.
INSTEAD OF CELEBRATING HIS
FAMILY IS COMING TO TERM WITH
THE ARREST OF TWO MEN CHARGED
WITH HIS MURDER.
>> I JUST WANT JUSTICE FOR MY
SON.
I WANT THEM TO PAY THE PRICE FOR
THE CRIME THEY DID.
>> Reporter: YESTERDAY'S
ARREST OF FATHER AND SON GREGORY
AND TRAVIS McMICHAEL CAME MORE
THAN TWO MONTHS AFTER ARBERY WAS
KILLED BUT JUST A FEW DAYS AFTER
A VIDEO OF THE SHOOTING WAS
LEAKED.
THE VIDEO SHOWS ARBERY OUT FOR A
RUN WILL THE McMICHAELING
CHASE HIM DOWN.
AFTER A STRUGGLE ARBERY IS SHOT
AND KILLED.
AGREEINGRY McMICHAEL TOLD
INVESTIGATORS THEY THOUGHT A
RBEY WAS A ROBBERY SUSPECT AND
THEY WERE ACTING IN SELF-DEFENCE
FORTUNATE THE GEORGIA BUREAU OF
INVESTIGATION TOOK OVER THE CASE
THIS WEEK AFTER TWO DISTRICT
ATTORNEYS WERE FORCED TO RECUSE
THEMSELVES.
BOTH HAD PERSONAL CONNECTIONS TO
THE SUSPECT.
ONE SAID THE MEN ACTED WITHIN
STATE LAWS.
>> WITHIN 36 HOURS WE SECURED
WARRANTS FOR BIOTWO INDIVIDUALS
FOR FELONY MURDER.
THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES IN THAT THE
PROBABLIABLE CAUSE WAS CLEAR TO
OUR AGENTS PRETTY QUICKLY.
>> Reporter: THE VIDEO CAUSED
A NATIONAL UPROAR BRINGING OLD
WOUNDS TO THE SURFACE.
>> WE CAN SAY ONCE AGAIN, A
BLACK MAN WAS LYNCHED IN
GEORGIA.
>> CERTAINLY IT WAS A DISTURBING
OR TROUBLING VIDEO, NO QUESTION
ABOUT THAT.
>> Reporter: IN A PHONE
INTERVIEW, PRESIDENT TRUMP
OFFERED CONDOLENCES AND SUPPORT
FOR LAW ENFORCE.
>> IT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE
DIDN'T SEE ON TAPE.
>> DON'T GET EXCITED ABOUT
THE --
>> Reporter: THE ARRESTS HAVE
DONE LITTLE TO SUBDUE ANGER.
THE COMMUNITY WANTS
INVESTIGATIONS INTO PROSECUTORS
WHO SAT ON THE CASE AND THE
THIRD MAN INVOLVED WHO RECORDED
THE SHOOTING.
>> I WON'T BE SATISFIED UNTIL
EVERYBODY INVOLVED.
>> Reporter: ACTIVISTS SAY
THEY'VE SEEN KILLERS IN THESE
KINDS OF CASES WALK FREE BEFORE,
SO THE ARRESTS ARE THE FIRST
STEP IN A LONG ROAD TO JUSTICE.
STEVEN D'SOUZA, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Mike: A WINNIPEG WOMAN IS
TRYING TO FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE
AFTER DEMEANING COMMENTS WERE
MADE ABOUT HER ONLINE.
AS CAMERON MacINTOSH REPORTS,
THEY WERE POST IN A PRIVATE
GROUP CHAT INVOLVING ELITE

>> OINK, OIN.
CAN, YOU'RE GETTING BIGGER.
>> IT DOES HURT THAT I KNOW THEM
PERSONALLY AND THAT THEY'RE
SAYING THIS ABOUT ME, BUT, YEAH,
I WASN'T TOO SHOCKED.
>> Reporter: IT GETS A LOT
WORSE.
SCREEN GRABS OF THE HOT SHOW
LEIPZIG AND OTHERS MAKING
DEGRADE MISOGYNISTIC COMMENTS,
ALL OF IT PRIVATE UNTIL IT WAS
POSTED ANONYMOUSLY ONLINE.
>> I KNOW GROUP CHATS LIKE THIS
BUT I NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS TO
THIS EXTENT OF VULGAR LANGUAGE
TOWARD LIKE WOMEN AND THEIR
BODIES.
>> Reporter: YESTERDAY LEIPZIG
ISSUED AN APOLOGY.
TODAY THE WASHINGTON CAPITALS
LET HIM GO AND THE FLORIDA
PANTHERS ARE REVIEWING THE
INVOLVEMENT OF THEIR MINOR
LEAGUER, JOCK ROADWALL.
>> IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT
TWO INDIVIDUALS CAN BE INVOLVED
IN SOMETHING LIKE THIS, AND IT
NOT ONLY TARNISHES THE GAME OF
HOCKEY BUT THE SPORT IN GENERAL.
>> SOMEHOW PEOPLE THINK THAT
RESPECT AND SOME OF THESE THINGS
ARE INHERENT IN THE SPORT
ENVIRONMENT.
BUT THEY'RE NOT.
THEY IMMEDIATE TO BE TAUGHT AND
THEY NEED TO BE CHECKED OFF.
OINK, OINK ALL RIGHT.
>> ZAJAC IS THEIR SHPOST, ONE
PICTURE WITH THEIR COMMENTS, AND
A SECOND WITH HERS.

POSITIVE SPIN ON SUCH A NEGATIVE
SITUATION.
AND REALLY HAVE A MESSAGE OUT
THERE FOR OTHER WOMEN THAT MAY

FALLING EARLIER THIS ONTARIO AND
MANY AREAS OF CANADA AND INTO
THE U.S. ARE DEALING WITH THIS
VERY, VERY COLD AND UNSEASONABLE
WEATHER.
YOU CAN SEE THERE, THAT'S WHAT
WE WOULD SEE AROUND DECEMBER.
IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF THIS POLAR
VORTEX, AND AS IT'S BREAKING UP
FOR THE SPRING IT DECIDED TO
REMIND EVERYBODY IT HAS A LOT OF
COLD AIR SO TEMPERATURES
FLUCTUATING WELL BELOW ZERO IN
THE EASTERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY
AND OVER HERE ON THE WEST WE'RE
DEALING WITH UNSEASONABLY WARM
TEMPERATURES.
SO IT'S THE TALE OF TWO SEASONS,
BOTH THAT SHOULDN'T BE HERE AT
THIS TIME OF YEAR.
BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT GOES SOME
CERTAINLY THAT WILL BE THE CASE
FOR THE EAST.
THIEL HAVE COLD WEATHER ALL
WEEKEND AND WE'LL HAVE BRILLIANT
SUMMER LIKE WEATHER, WITH
TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO THE 30º
MARK.
ALL BECAUSE OF THIS HIGH
PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT'S JUST SET
UP, STARTED YESTERDAY AND TODAY
REALLY RAMPED UP AND TOMORROW
AND SUNDAY WILL BE EVEN WARMER,
MAYBE A CHANCE OF LIGHT DUSTINGS
OF PRECIPITATION ON THE VERY
EDGE OF THE ALBERTA BORDER BUT
FOR THE MOST PART WE'RE LOOKING
AT SUNNY AND HOT.
AS WE HEAD OUT INTO THE FRASER
VALLEY, THAT'S WHERE WE SEE IS
THE 30º MARK FOR ABBOTSFORD AND

GORGEOUS, 16 IN DEASE LAKE, 19

KELOWNA AT 24 AS WELL.
