 BUS CRASH IN JASPER NATIONAL 
 PARK OVER THE WEEKEND, SIGHTS 
 FROM PEOPLE WHO RUSHED TO HELP 
 THEM AND ONE MAN INSIDE IT.
 RAFFY BOUDJIKANIAN HAS THE 
 STORY.
 >> Reporter: AT THE SCENE OF 
 THE CRASH, CREWS ARE MOVING THE
 WRECKAGE SLOWLY. 
 >> THE AREA OF THE CRASH IS 
 VERY STEEP, VERY DANGEROUS FOR 
 THE RESPONDERS, FOR THE CREWS 
 THAT ARE COMING IN TO REMOVE 
 IT. 
 >> Reporter: BUT IMAGES OF THE 
 CRASH ITSELF ARE SEARED INTO 
 THE MINDS OF WITNESSES. 
 >> THERE'S A LOT OF INJURIES, 
 THERE WAS A LOT OF BLOOD.
 PEOPLE WERE SCREAMING. 
 >> Reporter: THESE TWO FRIENDS 
 WERE ON ANOTHER BUS NEARBY.
 THEY RACED TO THE SCENE TO TRY 
 TO HELP. 
 >> THERE WAS AN OLD MOM ON THE 
 GROUND, LAYING DOWN, JUST 
 CALLING FOR HER DAUGHTER, AND I
 WENT AROUND THE BUS, AND I SAW 
 ABOUT FOUR MORE PEOPLE JUST 
 BADLY INJURED. 
 >> Reporter: STRANGERS 
 DELIVERED FIRST AID AND HELPED 
 ANY WAY THEY COULD. 
 >> SO I PICKED UP ABOUT FOUR 
 PHONES, ABOUT FIVE WALLETS, AND
 I PUT THEM IN THE BAG, AND I 
 GAVE IT TO THE MAN IN CHARGE, 
 AND HE TOLD ME THAT I WAS A 
 GOOD MAN, APPARENTLY, YEAH. 
 >> Reporter: BUT HE SAYS THERE 
 WAS ONLY SO MUCH HE COULD DO. 
 >> THERE WAS A COUPLE ON THE 
 GROUND, TOO.
 THE GUY WAS HOLDING HIS WIFE, 
 GIRLFRIEND, ON HIS HANDS, AND 
 HIS GIRLFRIEND HAD HER LAST 
 BREATH AT THAT MOMENT, AND SHE 
 PASSED AWAY RIGHT IN FRONT OF 
 MY EYES, AND THE GUY'S 
 REACTION, HE WAS SCREAMING, HE 
 WAS IN PAIN, HE WAS PRAYING.
 I COULDN'T HELP HIM AT ALL.
 >> Reporter: CBC NEWS HAS 
 IDENTIFIED ONE OF THE 
 PASSENGERS WHO DIED AS 
 24-YEAR-OLD DIONNE DUROCHAND 
 FROM SASKATCHEWAN. 
 >> THE LAST THING I REMEMBERED 
 WAS FALLING ONTO THE ROOF.
 WE MUST HAVE ROLLED A COUPLE OF
 TIMES BECAUSE I WAS IN THE WAY.
 WHEN I WOKE UP, I SAW MY 
 GIRLFRIEND RIGHT BESIDE ME.
 SHE WAS BARELY BREATHING. 
 >> Reporter: THE TWO-YEAR 
 RELATIONSHIP THAT ENDED FAR TOO
 SOON. 
 >> I TOLD HER THAT IT WAS OKAY,
 THAT PEOPLE WERE COMING FOR US,
 BUT IT WAS TOO LATE.
 I KNEW SHE WAS ALREADY GONE, SO
 I JUST LAID THERE WITH HER, AND
 I COVERED HER IN A BLANKET WITH
 HER, AND I PUT MY HOODIE ON HER
 HEAD.
 >> Reporter: POLICE HAVE 
 RELEASED DETAILS ABOUT THE 
 OTHER TWO PASSENGERS WHO DIED, 
 A 28-YEAR-OLD WOMAN FROM 
 EDMONTON, AND A 58-YEAR-OLD MAN
 FROM INDIA. 
 >> I WASN'T TOLD TO COVER UP 
 THE BODIES, BUT IN COMMON HUMAN
 DECENCY, I WENT AND COVERED UP 
 THEIR BODIES WITH THE BLANKETS.
 >> Reporter: 14 PEOPLE WERE 
 INITIALLY TAKEN FROM THE SCENE 
 IN CRITICAL CONDITION.
 TEN ARE NO LONGER LISTED AS 
 CRITICAL, AND THE OTHER FOUR 
 ARE NOW STABLE.
 POLICE SAID TODAY THEY RULED 
 OUT A ROCK SLIDE AS THE REASON 
 FOR THE CRASH.

 >> Andrew: FOUR MONTHS INTO THE
 COVID-19 PANDEMIC, SOME RES 
 HAVE CONTAINED IT, BUT -- SOME 
 COUNTRIES HAVE CONTAINED IT, 
 BUT OTHERS SEEM TO BE 
 SPIRALLING OUT OF CONTROL.
 BUT TODAY, A PROMISING VACCINE 
 FROM OXFORD UNIVERSITY. 
 >> WE'RE SEEING BOTH 
 NEUTRALIZING ANTIBODY RESPONSES
 AND T-CELL RESPONSES THAT WE'RE
 EXCITED MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH 
 PROTECTION. 
 >> Reporter: WHICH MEANS THAT 
 THE VACCINE MAY NOT ONLY BLOCK 
 THE COVID INFECTION BUT HELP IT
 FIGHT IT.
 WEEKS AFTER VACCINATION 
 RESEARCHERS SAW INCREASES 
 NEUTRALIZING ANTI-BODIES AND 
 T-CONTRACT RESPONSES.
 SO NOW, IT'S ONTO A PHASE THREE
 TRIAL, WHICH IS MUCH LARGER AND
 WILL DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT 
 IT'S TRULY EFFECTIVE.
 THAT WILL HAPPEN IN PLACES LIKE
 BRAZIL, WHICH HAS THE WORLD'S 
 SECOND HIGHEST INFECTION RATE. 
 >> THIS IS QUITE IMPORTANT TO 
 SEE IF THE VACCINE IS 
 EFFICACIOUS IN PROTECTING FROM 
 INFECTION OR PROTECTING FROM 
 DISEASE, AND THIS WILL BE 
 CRUCIAL.
 >> Reporter: LIFE IS COMING 
 BACK TO THE STREETS OF LONDON, 
 BUT EXPERTS SAY IT WON'T RETURN
 TO NORMAL UNTIL THERE IS A 
 RELIABLE AND WIDELY AVAILABLE 
 VACCINE, AND THAT'S UNLIKELY TO
 HAPPEN THIS YEAR.

 VACCINES IN THECRINE CAL 
 TRIAL -- KLEIN CRIMINAL TRIAL 
 VACCINE AROUND THE WORLD, 
 INCLUDING IMPERIAL COLLEGE HERE
 IN LONDON.
 SCALING UP PRODUCTION WILL TAKE
 TIME. 
 >> WE NEED TO BE AWARE THAT 
 THERE MAY BE A BIG GAP BETWEEN 
 ANNOUNCEMENT IN SUCCESS OF A 
 VACUUM SCENE AND DELIVERING 
 IT -- VACCINE AND DELIVERING IT
 TO ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. 
 >> THE U.K. IS GETTING THE JUMP
 STEP, PLACING 190 MILLION 
 ORDERS FOR THREE VACCINES, 
 INCLUDING THE ONE FROM OXFORD.
 NONE HAVE PROVED TO BE 
 EFFECTIVE.
 >> Andrew: OKAY.
 LET'S DIG INTO THIS A LITTLE 
 BIT MORE WITH INFECTIOUS 
 DISEASE SPECIALIST DR. ISAAC 
 BOGOCH.
 HOW LONG CAN WE GO INTO A 
 PHARMACY AND GET A VACCINE?
 >> IT'S STILL GOING TO BE A 
 WHILE, UNFORTUNATELY.
 WE STILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE 
 PHASE THREE CLINICAL TRIALS.
 THE VACCINES HAVE TO BE 
 MANUFACTURED, AND THEN, THEY 
 HAVE TO BE SHIPPED.
 IF EVERYTHING GOES PERFECTLY, 
 AND RARELY THAT'S THE CASE, BUT
 IF EVERYTHING GOES PERFECTLY, 
 MAYBE WE'LL SEE VACCINES BEING 
 SHIPPED IN THE LATTER PART OF 
 2020, BUT MORE REALISTICALLY IT
 WOULD BE THE FIRST PART OF 
 2021. 
 >> Andrew: AND WOULD WE SEE A 
 STAGGERED DISTRIBUTION?
 >> EXACTLY.
 WE'LL SEE THOSE IN LONG-TERM 
 CARE FACILITIES, FOR EXAMPLE, 
 PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE IN HOMELESS
 SHELTERS, PROBABLY FRONTLINE 
 HEALTH CARE WORKERS, PROBABLY 
 PEOPLE WHO ARE AT GREATEST RISK
 OF GETTING SICK FROM THIS 
 INFECTION OR PEOPLE WHO ARE AT 
 RISK FROM GETTING THIS 
 INFECTION.
 >> Andrew: NOW IF YOU WANT A 
 CLOSER LOOK AT THE GLOBAL 
 EFFORT FOR A VIABLE VACCINE, WE
 HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU.
 THIS IS AN INTERACTIVE GRAPH 
 SHOWING YOU THE TOP TIERS FROM 
 CANADA AND AROUND THE WORLD, 
 INCLUDING THE ONESES WE JUST 
 DISCUSSED.
 IT SHOWS THE DIFFERENT 
 APPROACHES THE VACCINES TAKE, 
 ALONG WITH THE PROS AND CONS 
 THAT COME FROM EACH OF THOSE 
 APPROACHES.

 IDEA WHAT THEY WERE DOING.
 >> Reporter: TRUMP IS NOW 
 THREATENING TO SEND FEDERAL 
 OFFICERS TO OTHER PLACES LIKE 
 DETROIT AND CHICAGO TO DEAL 
 WITH THE PROTESTS.

 AGENTS IN THE STREETS ACTUALLY 
 APPEARS TO BE INSPIRING MORE 
 PROTESTERS, INCLUDING A NEW 
 GROUP CALLING ITSELF THE WALL 
 OF MOMS, LINKING ITSELF TO 
 PROTECT OTHERS.

 IS SCARE US AWAY, THE FEDS.
 THEY WANT US TO STOP 
 PROTESTING, AND IT'S HAVING THE
 OPPOSITE EFFECT.

 SUSPENDED ITS EXTRADITION

 CANADA WHEN THE BORDER 
 EVENTUALLY REOPENS.
 THE DOCTORS ARE IN.
 >>> AND LATER. 
 >> HERE I AM.
 I'M, YOU KNOW, ABOUT TO GET

 >> Andrew: CELEBRATING MARRIAGE
 EQUALITY.
 CO
 >> Andrew: SUMMER IS IN FULL 
 SWING, BUT WITH THAT, MANY OF 
 US CAN'T HELP BUT THINK ABOUT 
 TRAVEL.
 BUT IT'S A PANDEMIC, YETMANY OF
 US ARE LOOKING TO ESCAPE OUR 
 BUBBLES.
 ALL THE WAY BACK IN MARCH, THE 
 CANADA-U.S. BORDER CLOSED TO 
 NONESSENTIAL TRAVEL, AND EVERY 
 30 DAYS FOR THE PAST FOUR 
 MONTHS, THE TWO COUNTRIES HAVE 
 AGREED TO KEEP THAT BORDER 
 CLOSED.
 POLL AFTER POLL INDICATES THAT 
 CANADIANS ARE HAPPY WITH THAT 
 DECISION, BUT THE BORDER WON'T 
 STAY CLOSED FOREVER.
 THE QUESTION WE'RE ASKING 
 TONIGHT, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT 
 REOPENS.
 JOINING US TONIGHT TO ANSWER 
 THAT, TWO INFECTIOUS DISEASE 
 SPECIALISTS: ISSAC BOGOCH AND 
 RAYWAT DEONANDAN.
 WE'LL START WITH DR. BOGOCH.
 GIVE US T
 -- WITH DR. DEONANDAN.
 HOW DO CANADA AND THE U.S. 
 COMPARE?
 >> PANDEMICS HAVE A WAY OF 
 REVEALING OF SOCIETY, THE 
 WEAKNESSES AND THE STRENGTHS.
 WHAT THE PANDEMIC HAS REVEALED 
 OF THE UNITED STATES IS A 
 FRACTURED SOCIETY.
 50 DIFFERENT STATES, 50 
 DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES.
 WE'RE SEEING IDEAOLOGICAL 
 SPLITS, WE'RE SEEING TRIBALISM.
 IN CANADA, WE'RE SEEING A 
 UNIFIED MOVEMENT, PEOPLE 
 WILLING TO STANDUP FOR THE 
 BETTERMENT OF THEIR SOCIETY.
 >> Andrew: AND I TAKE YOUR 
 POINT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 
 TWO VERY DIVERSE COUNTRIES 
 HERE, SO IT'S HARD TO SORT OF 
 BRAND EITHER ONE IN SORT OF A 
 SINGULAR WAY, BUT DR. BOGOCH, 
 WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PANDEMIC 
 IN THE UNITED STATES, IS IT 
 CLEARLY AND MEASURABLY WORSE IN
 THE UNITED STATES THAN CANADA?
 >> OH, ABSOLUTELY, BY ALL 
 OUTCOMES.
 EVEN IF WE JUST LOOK AT THE 
 SHEER NUMBER OF CASES IN THE 
 UNITED STATES, THEY HAVE 
 SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 70 TO 75,000 
 NEW CASES PER DAY.
 WE HAVE INDIVIDUAL STATES LIKE 
 FLORIDA, WITH ANYWHERE FROM 
 ABOUT 10,000 TO 15,000 NEW 
 CASES PER DAY.
 WHEN WE THINK ABOUT CANADA AS A
 COUNTRY IN GENERAL, WE'RE 
 GETTING ABOUT 200 TO 400 CASES 
 A DAY COAST TO COAST.
 CANADA HAS DONE A MUCH BETTER 
 JOB GETTING OUR PANDEMIC UNDER 
 CONTROLS THAN THE UNITED 
 STATES.
 OF COURSE WE'RE SEEING LITTLE 
 OUTBREAKS HERE AND THERE, BUT 
 IN THE UNITED STATES, IT'S 
 STILL A RAGING FOREST FIRE.
 >> Andrew: SO DR. BOGOCH, IF 
 THE UNITED STATES-CANADA BORDER
 WERE TO REOPEN TOMORROW, WHAT 
 WOULD BE THE IMPACT OF THAT?
 >> OH, WE WOULD RISK BRINGING 
 INFECTIONS ACROSS THIS BORDER.
 WE HAVE A HUGE LAND BORDER, AND
 IN PRECOVID-19 TIMES, THERE WAS
 A HUGE AMOUNT OF TRAVEL 
 OCCURRING ACROSS THAT BORDER, 
 AND IT WOULD JUST POSE A -- PUS
 A -- BASICALLY, IT WOULD MAKE A
 SCENARIO WHERE WE WOULD RHEEM
 REIMPORT A LOT OF CASES WHEN 
 THE BORDER WAS CLOSED.
 >> Andrew: DOCTOR, DO YOU SEE 
 IT AS THAT DIRE?
 WE SEE ESSENTIAL TRAVEL, 
 TRUCKERS, FOR EXAMPLE, DRIVING 
 BACK AND FORTH.
 WHAT'S AT STAKE IN YOUR MIND, 
 AND I SUPPOSE WHAT WOULD YOU 
 WANT TO SEE BEFORE THAT BORDER 
 REOPENS?
 I THINK THAT OUR FOCUS SHOULD 
 BE ON 100% FINDING A SAFEWAY TO
 OPEN SCHOOLS IN THE FALL.
 ANYTHING THAT DISTRACTS US FROM
 THAT DISTRACTS US FROM KEEPING 
 THE ECONOMY OPEN, AND THE BEST 
 WAY TO DO THAT IS TO HAVE OUR 
 CASELOAD LOW IN THE COMMUNITY, 
 IN THE SINGLE DIGITS, IF WE 
 CAN.
 EVERY AMERICAN TRAVELER THAT 
 COMES ACROSS THAT BORDER IS 
 POSSIBLY THE SOURCE OF A NEW 
 OUTBREAK, AND POSSIBLY, AS DR. 
 BOGOCH IS SAYING, IS A 
 POTENTIAL FOREST FIRE.
 NOTHING GOOD CAN COME FROM THAT
 EXCEPT FOR THE ESSENTIAL 
 TRAVEL.
 THE RISK IS FAR TOO GREAT IN MY
 MIND. 
 >> Andrew: SO IF THE POTENTIAL 
 RISK, DR. BOGOCH, AS YOU PUT 
 IT, IS THE UNDOING THAT CANADA 
 HAS MADE SO FAR IN TERMS OF THE
 PANDEMIC, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT 
 TO SEE IN TERMS OF TESTING 
 NUMBERS OR HOSPITALIZATION 
 NUMBERS OR DEATH NUMBERS IN THE
 UNITED STATES OR FROM A POLICY 
 PERSPECTIVE, WHAT IS IT THAT 
 YOU WOULD WANT TO SEE BEFORE 
 THE BORDER REOPENS?
 >> CENTRAL, IT WOULD BE GREAT 
 TO SEE FROM GOOD CENTRAL 
 LEADERSHIP, AND BOTH AT THE 
 FEDERAL LEVEL AND STATE LEVEL, 
 WE HOPEFULLY WATCH THEM GET 
 THEIR EPIDEMICS UNDER CONTROL, 
 AND THERE WOULD BE A REDUCTION 
 IN THE NUMBER OF CASES PER DAY,
 SUSTAINED REDUCTION OF NUMBER 
 OF CASES PER DAY.
 UNTIL THAT HAPPEN, FOR FANS OF 
 CANADIAN FOOTBALL, WE'RE JUST 
 GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP PUNTING 
 THIS DECISION DOWN THE ROAD 
 MONTH BY MONTH BY MONTH AND 
 KEEP THE BORDER FROM REOPENING.
 EVEN IF THEY DID EVERYTHING 
 PERFECTLY TODAY, IT WOULD STILL
 TAKE THEM MONTHS TO GET THEIR 
 PANDEMIC UNDER CONTROL TODAY. 
 >> Andrew: DOCTORS, THANK YOU 
 SO MUCH FOR THIS.
 APPRECIATE IT. 
 >> THANK YOU. 
 >> MY PLEASURE. 
 >> Andrew: THE PERSON EFFECTS 
 ON CANADIANS -- PERSONAL 
 EFFECTS ON CANADIANS HAVE BEEN

 PROBLEMS.

 BEGINNING OF IT, AND WE HAVEN'T
 HAD THEM BACK YET.

 ON WHAT IT'S MEANT.
 >>> PLUS, BRINGING A LITTLE BIT
 OF CANADA TO
 SF
 >> WE'RE HERE TODAY TO 
 CELEBRATE THE LOVE OF THIS 
 COUPLE.
 [Applause]
 >> Andrew: 15 YEARS AGO TODAY, 
 MARRIAGE EQUALITY IN CANADA 
 CAME INTO EFFECT NATIONWIDE.
 BILL 238 REMOVED ALL BARRIERS 
 BETWEEN SAME SEX COUPLES THAT 
 HETEROSEXUAL COUPLES HAD 
 ENJOYED FOR A LONG TIME.
 FOR SOME CANADIANS, JULY 20, 
 2005 MAY SEEM LIKE A LONG TIME 
 AGO.
 FOR OTHERS, STILL PRETTY RECENT
 HISTORY, AND THE BATTLE FOR 
 EQUALITY IS NOT OVER.
 TONIGHT, THREE CANADIAN COUPLES
 SHARE THEIR STORIES AND WHAT 
 THE ANNIVERSARY MEANS TO THEM. 
 >> I JUST BOUGHT YOUR RING.
 WHAT THE [BLEEP]. 
 >> I HADN'T EXPECT TODAY GET 
 EMOTIONAL WHILE I WAS FILMING 
 IT, BUT I THINK AT LEAST AT 
 THAT MOMENT, I THOUGHT I WAS 
 GOING TO BE PROPOSING TO HER.
 I DIDN'T KNOW THAT SHE WOULD BE
 PROPOSING TO ME JUST A COUPLE 
 OF WEEKS LATER.
 ANGELA PROPOSED TO ME IN NEW 
 YORK CITY IN 2018.
 BY THE TIME WE GET MARRIED, 
 IT'LL BE PRETTY MUCH TWO YEARS 
 TO THE WEEKEND.
 OUR EXPERIENCE GETTING MARRIED 
 IN 2020 HAS BEEN INTERESTING.
 THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF REALLY 
 GOOD THINGS, A LOT OF THINGS 
 THAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED, BUT I
 THINK IT COMES WITH A WHOLE 
 DIFFERENT STRING OF CHALLENGES.
 THEY AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME I WAS
 ENGAGED TO A MAN WHEN MOST 
 TIMES, ANGELA IS STANDING RIGHT
 NEXT TO ME.
 OH, LOOK, ANOTHER WEDDING SHOW 
 AND THEY REFERRED TO US AS 
 FRIENDS OR THEY THINK WE'RE 
 SISTERS EVEN THOUGH WE'RE 
 HOLDING HANDS.
 WHO HOLDS HANDS AT A WEDDING 
 SHOW, I DON'T KNOW. 
 >> I DON'T FEEL LIKE I'M A 
 PERSON AFTER I HEAR IT, AND I'M
 LIKE OKAY, WE'RE INVISIBLE TO 
 SOME PEOPLE OR WE'RE ONLY 
 VISIBLE WHEN PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
 WE'RE A COUPLE.
 >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WOULD 
 BE LIKE TO LOVE YOUR PERSON SO 
 MUCH BUT WANT TO GET MARRIED 
 AND LEGALLY NOT BE ALLOWED TO 
 HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY.
 I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL 15 YEARS 
 AGO, AND TO ME, LIKE, I DIDN'T 
 KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPEN.
 I DIDN'T KNOW THAT MARRIAGE 
 EQUALITY WAS WHAT WE WERE 
 FIGHTING FOR.
 I WENT TO CATHOLIC SCHOOL.
 I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW ANYTHING, 
 AND SO EVENTUALLY, I DID DECIDE
 TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT IT 
 MEANT TO BE PART OF THE 
 COMMUNITY BECAUSE HOW IT CAN BE
 PART OF THE COMMUNITY WITHOUT 
 KNOWING THE STRUGGLES?
 [*]
 >> HI, RACHEL, HI ANGELA.
 I'M MAURICE, AND I'M TOM. 
 >> HELLO, ANGELA AND RACHEL.
 THIS IS CRYSTAL AND MY WIFE 
 FARRAH.
 >> WE MET AT A CONFERENCE IN PA
 SAO PAULO. 
 >> WE HAD TO GET MARRIED IN 
 CANADA BECAUSE JAMAICA BANS 
 SAME SEX UNIONS, AND I WENT 
 BACK TO JAMAICA AFTER OUR 
 WEDDING TO WAIT FOR THE FILING 
 PROCESS TO BE COMPLETE, BUT A 
 JAMAICAN NEWSPAPER GOT AHOLD OF
 OUR WEDDING PHOTO, AND WE HAD 
 TO GET HIM OUT OF THERE 
 IMMEDIATELY.
 >> LOT HAS CHANGED IN -- A LOT 
 HAS CHANGED IN FOUR YEARS, BUT 
 IT WAS A BIG DEAL WHO HAD 
 FAMILY MEMBERS WHO TOLD ME THAT
 I SHOULDN'T GET MARRIED, AND 
 PEOPLE IN MY COMMUNITY THAT I 
 SHOULDN'T GET MARRIED.
 >> THE MARRIAGE EQUALITY FIGHT 
 IN CANADA GOES BACK DECADES. 
 >> SEPARATE BUT EQUAL IS NOT 
 EQUAL. 
 >> OF COURSE CANADA LEGALIZED 
 SAME SEX MARRIAGE IN 2005, AND 
 THAT WAS CRITICAL. 
 >> I BELIEVE THAT MARRIAGE 
 EQUALITY HELPS PEOPLE TO SEE US
 NOT JUST AS WALKING SEX ACTS 
 BUT ALSO AS PEOPLE WHO WANT TO 
 HAVE FAMILIES. 
 >> JUST VERY RECENTLY, WE'VE 
 HAD ANOTHER MILESTONE, IF YOU 
 WILL, IN THE CANADIAN ARMED 
 FORCES AND I'M SURE OTHER 
 GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.
 FERTILITY TREATMENT WAS ONLY 
 AVAILABLE TO SAME SEX COUPLES. 
 >> YEAH, AND THAT CHANGE MAKES 
 US VERY, VERY HAPPY BECAUSE 
 WE'RE PLANNING TO START OUR OWN
 FAMILY. 
 >> PEOPLE ACROSS CANADA AND THE
 WORLD FOUGHT FOR US TO NOT BE 
 KILLED, AND WE HAVE TO KEEP 
 FIGHTING BECAUSE THAT FIGHT 
 ISN'T OVER. 
 >> HOMOPHOBIA AND TRANSPHOBIA, 
 WHILE IT CONTINUES TO EXIST IN 
 THE WORLD, WE CANNOT EASE UP, 
 AND THERE'S SO MANY BROTHERS 
 AND SISTERS AROUND THE GLOBE 
 THAT WE DON'T HAVE HERE.
 WE WANT TO SEND YOU THIS 
 MESSAGE OF LOVE AND SOLIDARITY.
 WE WANT YOU TO TAKE CARE OF 
 YOURSELVES AND EACH OTHER, OF 
 COURSE, AND LET'S ALWAYS 
 REMEMBER COMMUNITY, LET'S 
 ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS LOVE. 
 >> CONGRATULATIONS.
 >> THE BEST OF LUCK.
 >>, LIKE, HERE I AM.
 I'M ABOUT TO GET MARRIED IN A 
 COUPLE OF MONTHS.
 I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT WAS 
 LIKE 15, 16 YEARS AGO, FIGHTING
 FOR THIS.
 MOST COUPLES FOUGHT AND 
 CONTINUE TO FIGHT AND, OF 
 COURSE, THEY -- THEY'VE 
 EXPERIENCED A LOT MORE THAN WE 
 HAVE AND, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN 
 SEE THE GOOD THAT'S COMING OUT 
 OF IT, BUT THEY'VE ALSO SEEN 
 THE BAD PARTS.
 I JUST SAY THANK YOU FOR 
 STEPPING UP AND HELPING PEOPLE 
 LIKE US. 
 >> THE FERTILITY TREATMENT, THE
 FACT THAT THEY'VE WAITED THIS 
 LONG TO START A FAMILY AND ONLY
 JUST NOW ABLE TO CELEBRATE IT 
 WHERE THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN AN 
 OPTION FOR US, THAT STRUCK A 
 CHORD WITH ME.
 SARAH LOOKS LIKE ME, LIKE, SHE 
 IS FEMININE AND -- BUT SHE'S 
 MARRIED TO A WOMAN, AND THAT'S 
 NOT SOMETHING THAT I SEE A LOT,
 SO IT'S NICE TO LOOK AT HER AND
 FEEL CONNECTED AND SEE THAT 
 REPRESENTATION AS A FEMININE 
 GAY WOMAN. 
 >> WHEN I THINK OF GETTING 
 MARRIED, I THINK I'M GOING TO 
 GET MARRIED, AND WE'RE GOING TO
 HAVE A WEDDING. 
 >> IT'S OUR SAME SEX MARRIAGE, 
 COME TO OUR MARRIAGE EQUALITY 
 SELECTION, NO. 
 >> WE JUST WANT A WEDDING, AND 
 WE DON'T WANT RAINBOWS 
 EVERYWHERE.
 FOR SOME SAME SEX COUPLES, 
 THAT'S OKAY IF THEY WANT 
 RAINBOWS AND THEY WANT TO 
 CELEBRATE THAT.
 BUT THAT'S JUST US, AND IT 
 DOESN'T MAKE US ANY LESS GAY 
 BECAUSE I'M STILL GOING TO BE 
 MARRIED TO ANGELA AT THE END OF
 IT. 
 >> Andrew: THAT IS INSPIRING.
 >>> OKAY.
 UP NEXT, A POTENTIAL NEW 
 . 
 >> Andrew: TO COMBAT COVID-19, 
 DOCTORS AND SCIENTISTS ARE 
 HEADING DOWN TWO PATHS.
 ONE, FIND A VACCINE, BUT ALSO 
 FIND A TREATMENT, AND ON THAT 
 FRONT TODAY, WHAT LOOKS LIKE 
 SOME POSITIVE NEWS ABOUT ONE 
 DRUG IN PARTICULAR.
 CHRISTINE BIRAK EXPLAINS. 
 >> WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME
 OF THAT RESEARCH MEDICATION 
 NOW. 
 >> Reporter: THAT DRUG IS 
 INTERFERON BETA.
 A GROUP OF PATIENTS IN THE U.K.
 INHALED IT DIRECTLY INTO THEIR 
 LUNGS.
 THE STUDY, CONDUCTED BY A DRUG 
 COMPANY WAS SMALL, JUST 100 
 PATIENTS, BUT THE RESULT SEEMED
 PROMISING.
 IT LOWERED PEOPLE'S RISK OF 
 BECOMING ILL BY MORE THAN 80%, 
 AND REDUCED THEIR DAYS OF 
 RECOVERY.
 THIS COULD BE A BIG STEP 
 FORWARD IN TREATING COVID-19, 
 BUT THE ACTUAL DATA BEHIND 
 THOSE FINDINGS HAS NOT BEEN 
 RELEASED BY THE DRUG COMPANY OR
 REVIEWED BY OTHER SCIENTISTS.
 BUT CANADIAN RESEARCHERS SAY 
 THIS DRUG COULD WORK. 
 >> REGARDLESS OF INJURY, THE 
 VERY FIRST THING YOUR BODY DOES
 IS MAKE INTERFERON.
 >> Reporter: THIS CORONAVIRUS 
 IS ABLE TO GET RID OF 
 INTERFERON DEFENCES THAT THE 
 BODY MAKES.
 SIMILAR DRUGS ARE USED TO TREAT
 MAJOR INFECTIONS AND CANCER, 
 BUT THERE ARE DRAWBACKS. 
 >> IT'S LIKE TURNING ON THE 
 WHOLE DEFENCE SYSTEM TO BLOCK 
 ONE BULLET. 
 >> Reporter: WITH YOU CAN LEAD 
 TO SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS.
 BY INHALING INTERFERON INTO THE
 LUNGS, MANY ARE HOPE IT'LL BE 
 MORE TARGETED.
 THE DRUG COMPANY IS HOPING TO 
 SHOW ITS TRIAL TO REGULATORS. 
 >> WE'LL WORK OUT WHAT GAPS ARE
 IN THE DATA PACKAGE AND WORK 
 TOWARDS GETTING THIS DRUG 
 APPROVED.
 >> Reporter: THERE BY 
 REPURPOSING AN OLD DRUG TO 
 FIGHT A NEW VIRUS.
 CHRISTINE BIRAK, CBC NEWS, 
 TORONTO.
 >> Andrew: AND B.C. HAS NEW 
 LAWS RESTRICTING FLAVOURED 
 VAPING TO ADULTS.
 >>> OKAY NEXT ON "THE 
 NATIONAL," A CLEVELAND COUPLE 
 COULDN'T GO TO TORONTO, SO THEY
 BROUGHT TORONTO TO THEM. 
 >> I MADE THIS BIG BLANKET 
 >> Andrew: WELL, A COUPLE FROM 
 CLEVELAND, OHIO, HAD PLANNED TO
 SPEND THEIR SECOND ANNIVERSARY 
 TAKING A TRIP TO TORONTO, BUT 
 THEN, THE BORDER CLOSED, SO 
 THEN, THEY HAD TO DECIDE TO GET
 A LITTLE CREATIVE AND DECIDED 
 TO BRING TORONTO TO THEM, AND 
 THAT IS OUR "MOMENT."
 >>> I HAD AN OLD CO-WORKER WHO 
 WAS ACTUALLY CANADIANS AND I 
 WAS ASKING HIM IF HE KNEW 
 ANY PLACES, AND THE FIRST PLACE
 HE SAID WAS TORONTO. 
 >> SINCE WE WERE GOING TO STAY 
 A NIGHT AT NIAGARA FALLS, I 
 MADE OUR FRONT DOOR LOOK LIKE 
 NIAGARA FALLS.
 I MADE A PLAY LIST OF SPORT 
 PLAYS FROM CANADA.
 I MADE THIS BIG BLANKET FORT, 
 AND INSIDE, I PRINTED CELEBRITY
 FACE CUTOUTS SO IT LOOKED LIKE 
 WE WERE HANGING OUT WITH STARS.
 >> IT WAS SO EXCITING TO SEE 
 ALL THE ROOMS BECAUSE 
 EVERYTHING SHAPED UP AND LOOKED
 LIKE DIFFERENT. 
 >> IT WAS REALLY FUN BECAUSE I 
 WAS ABLE TO LEARN A LOT ABOUT 
 TORONTO. 
 >> THAT'S AMAZING, THAT'S 
 AMAZING.
 >>> AND THEIR SECOND 
 ANNIVERSARY, ARE YOU KIDDING 
 ME?
 NIAGARA FALLS ON THE DOOR, 
 THAT'S GOING TO BE MY FAVOURITE
 PART OF THE WHOLE THING.
 THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR THIS 
 JULY 20.
 I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.
