>>> FRUSTRATION ON FULL DISPLAY 
IN OTTAWA AS THE DEPUTY PRIME 
MINISTER OUTLINED HOW CANADA 
WILL HIT BACK AGAINST THE U.S. 
AFTER DONALD TRUMP RE-IMPOSED 
TARIFFS ON SOME CANADIAN 
ALUMINUM.
CHRYSTIA FREELAND IS VOWING 
DOLLAR-FOR-DOLLAR RETALIATION 
AND WARNING THAT AMERICANS WILL 
SUFFER MOST.
TRUMP FIRST BROUGHT IN THE 
TARIFFS IN 2018, BUT REMOVED 
THEM LAST YEAR.
SOME U.S. COMPANIES COMPLAINED 
CANADA WAS FLOODING THE MARKET.
CANADIAN PRODUCERS SAY THAT'S 
NOT TRUE, AND MANY BELIEVE THIS 
IS SIMPLY POLITICAL.
AS TOM PARRY SHOWS US, THE
MESSAGE FROM CANADA, THIS IS NOT
THE TIME.
>> LET ME START BY SAYING HOW 
MUCH I REGRET THAT CANADA IS, 
ONCE AGAIN, DEALING WITH A U.S. 
TRADE ACTION.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Reporter: CHRYSTIA FREELAND 
THOUGHT HER FIGHT WITH DONALD

WILL NOT BACK DOWN.

10% LEVY ON CANADIAN ALUMINUM

CONTAIN ALUMINUM.
THE POTENTIAL TARGETS, 
EVERYTHING FROM WASHING MACHINES
TO BIKE WHEELS TO GOLF CLUBS.
>> President Donald Trump: 
REIMPOSING ALUMINUM TARIFFS ON 
CANADA.
CANADA WAS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF 
US, AS USUAL.
>> Reporter: FOR DONALD TRUMP, 
THE HOPE APPEARS TO BE THAT 
TOUGH TALK ON TRADE WILL BOLSTER
HIS OWN HOPES FOR RE-ELECTION, 
BUT IT'S A RISKY STRATEGY.
>> I JUST DON'T THINK THERE'S A 
LOT OF APPETITE HERE BY VOTERS 
ON THE GROUND TO TAKE MORE 
TARIFF PAIN, PARTICULARLY AT A 
TIME WHERE THE ECONOMY IS VERY 
FRAGILE RIGHT NOW.
>> Reporter: THE U.S. PRESIDENT 
REOPENING A TRADE DISPUTE AS THE
ECONOMIES OF BOTH CANADA AND THE
U.S. ARE STILL STRUGGLING IN A 
GLOBAL PANDEMIC.
>> Premier Doug Ford: AND WHO 
DOES THIS?
IN TIMES LIKE THIS, WHO TRIES TO
GO AFTER YOUR CLOSEST ALLY, YOUR
CLOSEST TRADING PARTNER, YOUR 
NUMBER ONE CUSTOMER IN THE 
ENTIRE WORLD?
WHO WOULD DO THIS?
WELL, PRESIDENT TRUMP DID THIS.
>> Reporter: ONTARIO'S PREMIER 
TODAY URGING CONSUMERS AND 
COMPANIES IN HIS PROVINCE TO 
FIGHT BACK, TO BUY CANADIAN 
GOODS OVER ONES PRODUCED IN THE 
U.S. WHENEVER THEY CAN.

AGAINST A REAL BATTLE RIGHT NOW.
IT'S US VERSUS THEM.
>> Reporter: THE U.S. TARIFFS 
DON'T KICK IN UNTIL LATER THIS 
MONTH.
CANADA IS TAKING 30 DAYS TO 
FINALIZE ITS PLANS FOR 
RETALIATION.
CHRYSTIA FREELAND SAYS SHE STILL
HOPES THE U.S. MAY REVERSE 
COURSE, BUT SHE SAYS WITH THE 
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, SHE'S 
LEARNED TO HOPE FOR THE BEST BUT
PREPARE FOR THE WORST.

OTTAWA ON ANOTHER.
EMBATTLED GOVERNOR GENERAL JULIE
PAYETTE IS FACING TOUGH SCRUTINY
OVER TWO CONTROVERSIES, AND 
SUPPORT FOR HER FROM THE TRUDEAU
GOVERNMENT IS PROVING HARD TO 
FIND.
ASHLEY BURKE, WHO BROKE THE 
RECENT STORIES ON PAYETTE, 
EXPLAINS WHY. 
>> Reporter: IT WAS HARDLY A 
RINGING ENDORSEMENT.
DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER GIVEN TWO 
OPPORTUNITIES TO SUPPORT 
GOVERNOR GENERAL JULIE PAYETTE.
>> SHOULD CANADIANS HAVE 
CONFIDENCE IN THIS GOVERNOR 
GENERAL?
DOES YOUR GOVERNMENT HAVE 
CONFIDENCE IN HER?
>> Reporter: AND TWICE SHE DREW 
A SHARP DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE 
OFFICE AND ITS OCCUPANT, STAYING
SILENT ON PRAISE FOR PAYETTE. 
>> I THINK CANADIANS HAVE A 
GREAT RESPECT FOR THE OFFICE OF 
THE GOVERNOR GENERAL, AND I HAVE
THAT RESPECT AS WELL.
>> BUT FOR THIS GOVERNOR 
GENERAL?
>> AS I SAID, I THINK CANADIANS 
UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE THE 
WAY OUR SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT, 
OUR CONSTITUTIONAL SYSTEM WORKS.
THE GOVERNOR GENERAL, THE OFFICE
OF THE GOVERNOR GENERAL PLAYS A 
VERY IMPORTANT ROLE IN THAT 
SYSTEM.
>> Reporter: IT'S THE CLEAREST 
SIGNAL SO FAR THAT THE LIBERAL 
GOVERNMENT IS DISTANCING ITSELF 
FROM THE GOVERNOR GENERAL JUSTIN
TRUDEAU SELECTED IN 2017. 
>> Prime Minister Trudeau: AND I
KNOW SHE WILL DO AN 
EXTRAORDINARY JOB.
>> Reporter: BUT THREE YEARS 
INTO THE JOB, SHE'S COME UNDER 
FIRE FOR CREATING A TOXIC WORK 
ENVIRONMENT, CLAIMS SHE'S 
HARASSED EMPLOYEES, AND TRUDEAU 
HASN'T DIRECTLY COME TO HER 
DEFENCE. 
>> Prime Minister Trudeau: EVERY
CANADIAN HAS THE RIGHT TO A 
SAFE, SECURE WORKSPACE, FREE 
FROM HARASSMENT. 
>> Reporter: AND NOW REVELATIONS
A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS 
WAS SPENT ON PROJECTS TO FULFILL
PAYETTE'S OWN DESIRE FOR PRIVACY
AT RIDEAU HALL. 
>> WHEN WE SPEND MONEY, WE ARE 
SPENDING THE MONEY OF CANADIANS,
AND WE HAVE TO BE VERY, VERY 
THOUGHTFUL ABOUT THAT, VERY 
CAREFUL ABOUT THAT.
>> WELL, AT THIS STAGE RIGHT NOW
AN OFFICE WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO 
BE ABOVE PARTISANSHIP, IS 
SUPPOSED TO BE ABOVE 
CONTROVERSY, SUPPOSED TO
REPRESENT CANADIANS AS A WHOLE, 
IS FINDING ITSELF TO HAVE TO 
DODGE AND WEAVE AND EXPLAIN 
VARIOUS THINGS THAT REALLY DON'T
MAKE IT OUT TO BE THE DIGNIFIED 
OFFICE THAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.
>> Reporter: [INDISCERNIBLE] THE
PRIME MINISTER TO ADDRESS THIS 
CONTROVERSY, ONE IN WHICH HE 
SAYS IS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE 
INTEGRITY OF ONE OF THE HIGHEST 
OFFICES IN THE COUNTRY.
ASHLEY BURKE, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA.
>> Ian: TOMORROW MARKS ANOTHER 
MILESTONE IN THE DEADLY FIGHT 
AGAINST COVID-19.
IT WILL BE 150 DAYS SINCE THE 
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION

AND THE UNITED STATES HEADS INTO
THE WEEKEND CLOSING IN ON A GRIM
TOTAL ONE THOUGHT ONCE 
IMAGINABLE.
ALMOST 5 MILLION CASES.
DEATHS NOW TOPPING 150,000.
TODAY IS ALSO THE 11TH STRAIGHT 
DAY THE VIRUS HAS CLAIMED AT 
LEAST 1,000 LIVES.
>>> A CANADIAN MAN IS AMONG 
THOSE LOST TO THE VIRUS IN THE 
U.S. IN RECENT DAYS.
A VICTIM OF A MAJOR OUTBREAK AT 
AN IMMIGRATION DETENTION CENTRE.
TONIGHT HIS DEVASTATED FAMILY IS
SPEAKING OUT, CLAIMING HIS DEATH
COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.
ELLEN MAURO NOW ON WHO THEY WANT
HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
>> OKAY, COME ON IN.
THIS IS MY UNCLE'S ROOM, OR WHAT
WOULD HAVE BEEN HIS ROOM. 
>> Reporter: JESSICA MAROSTEGA 
HAD THIS ROOM FOR JAMES HILL, AN
UNCLE WHO SHE SAYS IS LIKE A 
FATHER. 
>> THIS IS THE LAST PICTURE OF 
MY UNCLE.
IT WAS DURING OUR WEDDING. 
>> Reporter: FAMILY PHOTOS, A 
CLOSET FULL OF CLOTHES, EVEN A 
FATHER'S DAY CARD WAITING FOR 
HIM.
BUT HILL WILL NEVER SEE ANY OF 
IT.
>> IT IS HARD TO COME IN.
I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO TAKE 
ANYTHING DOWN YET. 
>> Reporter: HILL DIED OF 
COVID-19 THIS WEEK WHILE IN 
CUSTODY OF U.S. IMMIGRATION 
ENFORCEMENT, AWAITING 
DEPORTATION TO CANADA.

LOOKING FORWARD TO HIM COMING 
HOME AND EMBRACING HIM. 
>> Reporter: HILL HAD BEEN HELD 
AT THIS IMMIGRATION DETENTION 
FACILITY AT FARMVILLE, VIRGINIA,
SINCE APRIL, JUST WAITING FOR 
HIS FLIGHT HOME AFTER SERVING A 
PRISON TERM IN LOUISIANA.
NEARLY EVERY SINGLE DETAINEE AT 
FARMVILLE HAS CONTRACTED 
COVID-19.
HIGH-RISK AT 72 YEARS OLD, HILL 
WAS SCARED EVERY DAY, SAYS HIS 
FAMILY. 
>> MY UNCLE SAID IT'S NOT A 
MATTER OF IF I GET COVID.
IT'S WHEN.
>> BEFORE AND AFTER HE FELL ILL,
HILL'S FAMILY SAYS THEY 
CONTACTED CANADIAN OFFICIALS, 
ASKING FOR HELP TO BRING HIM 
HOME SOONER.
>> I GO TO THE CONSULATE AND 
SAY, YOU KNOW, WHY DIDN'T YOU 
ADVOCATE A LITTLE BIT HARDER. 
>> Reporter: WHO DO YOU HOLD 
ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE FACT THAT 
THIS HAS HAPPENED?
>> IN MY HEART, I WOULD SAY IT'S
THE CANADIAN EMBASSY.
I WOULD SAY THEY DIDN'T DO THEIR
JOB.
I FELT LIKE THEY WERE A 
MESSENGER.
THEY JUST PASSED THE MESSAGE 
BACK AND FORTH, BUT THERE WAS NO
ADVOCACY, NO SAYING TO US, THIS 
ISN'T OKAY.
>> Reporter: IN A STATEMENT,
GLOBAL AFFAIRS OFFERED SINCERE 
CONDOLENCES, BUT CITING PRIVACY,
DID NOT RESPOND TO THE FAMILY'S 
CRITICISMS.
>> TO HAVE HIM LEAVE THIS WORLD 
LIKE THAT WAS -- IS A TRAGEDY.
>> Reporter: A TRAGEDY ONLY JUST
BEGINNING TO SINK IN, MEMORIES 
THE ONLY COMFORT FOR HILL'S 
FAMILY. 
>> HE USED TO GIVE GREAT BIG 
BEAR HUGS.
YOU KNOW, YOU COULD TALK TO HIM 
ABOUT THINGS.
HE WAS REASSURING, AND HE WOULD 
ALWAYS SAY, REMEMBER, I LOVE 
YOU.
SO JUST THOSE LITTLE THINGS, BUT
THEY WOULD HAVE MEANT A LOT.

COMMUNITY, NOT AT THE PLANT.
>>> VANCOUVER'S POLICE UNION 
SAYS THREE OF ITS MEMBERS HAVE 
TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE VIRUS, 
AND TWO OTHER PATROL TEAMS ARE 
NOW IN ISOLATION AFTER 
RESPONDING TO AN OUT-OF-CONTROL 
PARTY IN THE CITY.
MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE HAVE 
REPORTEDLY GATHERED BY THE TIME 
POLICE GOT INVOLVED.
>>> NEW NUMBERS SHOW ANOTHER 
MONTH OF JOB GAINS AFTER THE 
WORST OF THE LOSSES FROM 
CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWNS.
MORE THAN 419,000 JOBS WERE 
ADDED IN JULY, ABOUT 80% WERE 
PART-TIME AND CANADA IS STILL 
DOWN 1.3 MILLION JOBS COMPARED 
TO FEBRUARY, BEFORE THE 
SHUTDOWN.
THE JOBLESS RATE DROPPED TO 
10.9%, BUT IT'S HIGHER FOR SOME 
MINORITY COMMUNITIES.
THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE 
STATSCAN EMPLOYMENT SURVEY HAS 
PROVIDED RACE-BASED DATA.
>>> EVEN AS JOBS RETURN, 
RESEARCHERS WARN OF A LOOMING 
PROBLEM.
JACQUELINE HANSEN SHOWS US HOW 
THE PANDEMIC TAKES A TOLL ON 
MENTAL HEALTH FOR PEOPLE 
UNEMPLOYED, BUT ALSO THOSE STILL
WORKING.
>> Reporter: COMING TOGETHER TO 
CONNECT AND OPEN UP.
>> I THINK COMING FROM AN ASIAN 
CULTURAL BACKGROUND, YOU DON'T 
TYPICALLY TALK ABOUT MENTAL 
HEALTH THAT OFTEN. 
>> Reporter: BUT THE PANDEMIC 
HAS CHANGED SO MUCH.
>> MY JOB HAS JUST KIND OF 
DISAPPEARED.
>> Reporter: THIS PILATES AND 
FITNESS INSTRUCTOR DOES SOME 
TEACHING ONLINE, BUT THE MONEY 
ISN'T NEARLY THE SAME.
>> THE FINANCIAL STRESS HAS BEEN
PRETTY DIFFICULT.
>> Reporter: JUST YESTERDAY THIS
SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER WAS LAID 
OFF FROM A PART-TIME JOB FOR THE
SECOND TIME.
>> SO TO KIND OF LOSE THAT OUT 
OF NOWHERE, THINKING THAT YOU 
HAVE A SECURITY, IS A ROLLER 
COASTER.
>> Reporter: EVEN HAVING A JOB 
COMES WITH NEW PRESSURES, 
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU WORK FOR A 
GROUP OF LOCAL BUSINESSES 
STRUGGLING WITH THE PANDEMIC.
>> WE ARE SEEING ALL THESE 
BUSINESSES BECOME DEVASTATED, 
NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO, COMING TO 
YOU FOR ANSWERS, CALLING YOU AT 
ALL HOURS OF THE DAY. 
>> Reporter: TALKING ABOUT THE 
STRESS OF IT ALL WITH FAMILY, 
FRIENDS AND PROFESSIONALS, EVEN 
TAKING MEDICATIONS, CAN BE 
CRUCIAL.
>> THOSE ARE THE THINGS, LIKE, 
THAT I NEED MORE OF RIGHT NOW 
BECAUSE OF ALL THIS UNPREDICTED 
CHANGE. 
>> Reporter: THIS ANALYST 
CREATED ECONOMIC MODELS TO 
UNDERSTAND HOW WIDESPREAD THE 
NEED FOR MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT 
WILL BE.
>> WE ARE SEEING THREE TIMES 
MORE VISITS TO MENTAL HEALTH 
PROFESSIONALS PER YEAR, 20% MORE
ANTIDEPRESSANT PRESCRIPTIONS 
ANNUALLY.
THAT'S HALF A MILLION. 
>> Reporter: AND IT COULD LAST 
FOR YEARS. 
>> IT'S A TIME FOR EMPLOYERS TO 
REACH OUT TO THEIR EMPLOYEES AND
UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN PROVIDE 
MORE FLEXIBILITY, MORE OPTIONS 
TO HELP THEIR EMPLOYEES, 
ESPECIALLY WOMEN AND SINGLE 
MOMS, THAT ARE AT THE FOREFRONT 
OF THE HUMAN IMPACT OF COVID-19.
>> Reporter: THIS CONTRACT 
WORKER HOPES IT'S ALSO TIME TO 
CONSIDER UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO 
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, RATHER 
THAN PEOPLE LIKE HER PAYING OUT 
OF POCKET.
>> WE ALL NEED THE SAME TYPE OF 
HEALTH HELP, REGARDLESS OF WHAT 
TYPE OF WORK WE'RE DOING. 
>> Reporter: SUPPORT FOR THE 
HUMAN CRISIS THAT THE 
RESEARCHERS WARN IS LIKELY 
COMING.
JACQUELINE HANSEN, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO.
>> Ian: WE HAVE MUCH MORE ON 
YOUR MENTAL HEALTH IN THE 
PANDEMIC, INCLUDING GUIDANCE 
FROM DOCTORS, JUST AHEAD.
>>> IF EMPLOYMENT ISN'T 
STRESSFUL ENOUGH RIGHT NOW, 
WHETHER YOU'RE WORKING OR NOT, 
JOB-RELATED FRAUD REPORTS HAVE 
GONE UP DURING THE PANDEMIC.
AS NICOLE IRELAND TELLS US, 
SCAMMERS ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF
JOB SEEKESS.
>> THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD SEEN 
MY RESUMÉ ON INDEED.
>> Reporter: WHEN 25-YEAR-OLD 
ASHLEY GOT A JOB OFFER IN JUNE 
FROM A COMPANY CALLED GUX I.T., 
SHE WAS EXCITED BUT CAUTIOUS.
SHE WENT OVER THE WEBSITE 
THOROUGHLY TO MAKE SURE THE 
COMPANY WAS LEGITIMATE, 
INCLUDING ITS VANCOUVER ADDRESS.
>> EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE 
BASICALLY TOLD TO LOOK FOR RED 
FLAGS, THEY HAD PRETTY MUCH 
COVERED.
>> Reporter: CBC NEWS HAS AGREED
TO USE ASHLEY'S FIRST NAME ONLY.
SHE'S SCARED, BECAUSE HER NEW 
EMPLOYERS TURNED OUT TO BE 
FRAUDSTERS.
A FAKE MANAGER TOLD ASHLEY SHE 
NEEDED DO CONVERT A $2000 
TRANSFER
INTO ETHER TO BUY SOFTWARE AND 
WEB DOMAIN NAMES FOR CLIENTS.
MOMENTS AFTER ASHLEY FOLLOWED 
INSTRUCTIONS TO USE THIS 
CRYPTO-CURRENCY ATM, SHE GOT A 
CALL FROM SOMEONE IN VANCOUVER 
SHE'D ASKED TO CHECK OUT GUX 
I.T.'S OFFICE ADDRESS. 
>> HE'S LIKE, THIS COMPANY 
DOESN'T EXIST.
IT'S NOWHERE IN THE BUILDING, 
AND MY HEART AND MY STOMACH 
JUST SANK.
>> Reporter: CBC NEWS 
INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THE 
GUXI.T. WEBSITE ASHLEY HAS SO 
CAREFULLY CHECKED WAS STOLEN 
FROM A COMPANY IN UKRAINE.
THEY HAD COPIED EVERYTHING 
ALMOST VERBATIM. 
>> WE SEE THE FRAUDSTERS TAKE 
TIME TO SET UP FRAUDULENT 
WEBSITES THAT MAY SPOOF REAL 
COMPANIES OR SEEM LEGITIMATE.
>> Reporter: THE NUMBER OF 
JOB-RELATED SCAMS REPORTED SO 
FAR IN 2020 IS APPROACHING MORE 
THAN 2,400 REPORTS FOR ALL OF 
2019.
MANY ARE MONEY LAUNDERING 
SCHEMES DESIGNED TO GET 
UNSUSPECTED NEW HIRES TO TAKE 
DIRTY MONEY THROUGH e-TRANSFERS 
AND CONVERT IT TO 
CRYPTO-CURRENCY THAT'S MUCH 
HARDER TO TRACE.
ASHLEY HOPES BY SPEAKING OUT SHE
CAN PREVENT THIS KIND OF SCAM 
FROM HAPPENING TO SOMEONE ELSE.

DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON SHOWS US

SIZES?

BE SMALLER THAN USUAL.
>> Premier Doug Ford: WE'RE 
FLEXIBLE.
WE HAVE TO BE FLEXIBLE.
WE HAVE TO BE ADAPTABLE, AND MY 
NUMBER ONE CONCERN IS TO PROTECT
THE CHILDREN.
>> Reporter: FOR A SOLID WEEK, 
PARENT GROUPS HAVE PETITIONED 
THE PROVINCE TO LOWER CLASS 
SIZES.
THEY MAY NOW HAVE A NEW ALLY.
IN A LETTER WRITTEN TO THE 
TORONTO DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD, 
THE CITY'S PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCY 
FLAGGED SOME ISSUES WITH THE 
REOPENING PLAN.
THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN THE 
CLASSROOM SHOULD BE SMALLER THAN
THE USUAL CLASS SIZES, AND THERE
SHOULD BE MORE ROOM TO MAINTAIN 
PHYSICAL DISTANCING. 
>> I HOPE THAT THIS IS A SIGN OF
A MOMENTUM IN OPINION.
>> Reporter: THIS MOTHER OF 
THREE WELCOMES THE SUPPORT. 
>> PARENTS NEED TO FEEL THEIR 
FEAR IS JUSTIFIED AND VALIDATED,
AND THAT'S WHAT THE TORONTO 
PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE DID.
IT MADE US FEEL LIKE, YES, THIS 
IS A REAL CONCERN.
>> COME UP WITH A NUMBER THAT WE
CAN DO TOGETHER. 
>> Reporter: THE PROVINCE 
ALLOCATED $30 MILLION FOR THE 
HIRING OF NEW TEACHERS ACROSS 
ONTARIO.
TORONTO DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD 
SAYS THAT WON'T BE NEARLY ENOUGH

COHORTS OF 15 IN ELEMENTARY 
SCHOOLS, IT WOULD COST US ABOUT 
$250 MILLION.
THAT'S WHAT IT WOULD COST, 
BECAUSE FOR ADDITIONAL TEACHERS.

AGENCY OF CANADA RELEASED ITS 
OWN GUIDELINES TODAY.
MASKS ON CHILDREN OVER THE AGE 
OF TEN, PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND 
SMALLER CLASS SIZES WHERE 
POSSIBLE.

RELIEVE AT LEAST SOME OF THE 
FEARS WILL GROW AS SEPTEMBER

MUCH OF THE CHEMICAL COMPOUND IS

[EXPLOSION]
TO AVOID DISASTER.
WHEN AMMONIUM NITRATE SITS, IT 
GETS MORE DANGEROUS.
IT'S A CHEMICAL USED SO COMMONLY
FOR SO MANY YEARS THAT SOME 
EXPERTS SAY IT'S EASY TO FORGET 
JUST HOW UNSTABLE IT CAN BE.
>> IT IS REALLY QUITE DANGEROUS,
AND THEREFORE WE'VE GOT TO 
FOLLOW THE RULES, AND WE MUSN'T 
BECOME COMPLACENT.
>> Reporter: FOR THIS PROFESSOR,
THAT'S ONE OF THE MAIN LESSONS 
TO BE LEARNED FROM THE DEADLY 
EXPLOSION IN BEIRUT.
>> OVERSIGHT OVER HAZARDOUS 
SUBSTANCES IS ONE OF THOSE 
PIECES OF THE BUREAUCRACY THAT 
CAN BE CUT, BUT WE HAVE A SYSTEM
IN PLACE IN ORDER TO TRACK 
REGISTRATION AND TO ENSURE THAT 
PEOPLE HANDLING IT KNOW HOW TO 
HANDLE IT.
>> Reporter: AND THAT SYSTEM IS 
NOT ABOVE REVIEW. 
>> EVERY COUNTRY AROUND THE 
WORLD IS GOING TO BE LOOKING AT 
WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED IN BEIRUT
AND ENSURING THAT WE'VE GOT 
APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS IN 
PLACE.

HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS ARE ALWAYS 
KEPT STRICTLY IN CHECK.
SALIMAH SHIVJI, CBC NEWS, 
OTTAWA.
>> Ian: NEXT ON "THE NATIONAL," 
THE PANDEMIC AND YOUR MENTAL 
HEALTH.
WE OPENED OUR INBOX, AND YOU 
FLOODED IT WITH QUESTIONS AND 
ISSUES, FROM WAYS TO LIVE WITH 
WORRY TO GUIDING YOUR KIDS 
THROUGH UNSETTLING TIMES.
OUR DOCTORS ARE NEXT.
*
>> Ian: WHAT USED TO BE ROUTINE,
WHAT WAS IT, FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS
AGO, GOING TO WORK OR SCHOOL, 
SEEING FRIENDS, EVEN GROCERY 
SHOPPING, HAS CHANGED SO MUCH 
DURING THIS PANDEMIC.
AND ADD TO THAT FOR ALMOST 
EVERYBODY SOME LEVEL OF 
FINANCIAL STRESS.
WELL TODAY THE HEALTH MINISTER 
PATTY HAJDU EXPRESSED HUGE 
CONCERN FOR THE MENTAL HEALTH OF
CANADIANS, SO WHILE PHYSICAL 
DISTANCING AND MASKS CAN HELP 
STOP THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS, OR
AT LEAST SLOW IT DOWN, WHAT CAN 
WE DO TO TAKE CARE OF OUR MENTAL
HEALTH?
WELL, WITH SOME GUIDANCE TONIGHT
IS DR. SHIMI KANG, A 
PSYCHIATRIST AND AUTHOR BASED 
HERE IN VANCOUVER.
AND DR. THOMAS UNGAR, A 
PSYCHIATRIST AND CHIEF AT 
ST. MICHAEL'S HOSPITAL IN 
TORONTO.
WE GOT A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
WE WERE ACTUALLY OVERWHELMED BY 
THE NUMBER AND DEPTH OF THEM, 
AND DR. KANG, LET ME PUT THE 
FIRST ONE TO YOU.
OUR DAUGHTERS ARE NERVOUS ABOUT 
GOING BACK TO SCHOOL.
THEY ASK ME: WHY IS IT OKAY THEY
GO INTO A SCHOOL BUILDING IN 
SEPTEMBER BUT DAD DOESN'T HAVE 
TO GO BACK TO HIS OFFICE 
DOWNTOWN.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO REASSURE 
THEM.
DR. KANG, WHAT WOULD YOU 
SUGGEST?
>> WELL, THAT'S A VERY GOOD 
CURIOUS QUESTION, SMART KIDS.
I WOULD SAY THAT, FIRST OF ALL, 
WE WANT TO BE TRUTHFUL, 
OPTIMISTIC, AND MAKE SURE THAT 
WE REASSURE STUDENTS AND 
CHILDREN THAT THE ADULTS ARE 
PLANNING AND IN CONTROL, BECAUSE
CHILDREN EXPERIENCE ANXIETY 
MORE.
LET THEM KNOW THERE ARE 
PROTOCOLS BETWEEN PUBLIC HEALTH 
AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS, BUT REMIND
THEM THAT THEY MAY NOT BE 
PERFECT, THAT THEY HAVE A VOICE 
TO EXPRESS ANY CONCERN OR 
CAUTION, AND TO WORK 
COLLABORATIVELY WITH THEIR 
TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS AND 
MOST OF ALL THEIR PARENTS AND 
CAREGIVERS, THAT YOU WILL BE 
THERE TO HELP GUIDE THEM.
END WITH A TONE OF OPTIMISM.
THIS IS A STRESSFUL TIME FOR 
EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY YOUNG 
PEOPLE.
>> Ian: DR. KANG, YOU DEAL WITH 
CHILDREN ALL THE TIME HERE IN 
VANCOUVER, AND AS AN AUTHOR AS 
WELL.
I GUESS ONE OF THE CHALLENGES, I
SAW THIS LAST NIGHT ON "THE 
NATIONAL," WHO RIGHT OR WRONG 
SOME PARENTS DON'T HAVE 
CONFIDENCE IN THE BACK-TO-SCHOOL
PLAN.
HOW DO THEY DEAL WITH THEIR 
CHILDREN WHEN THEY THEMSELVES 
ARE ANXIOUS?
>> RIGHT, AND I THINK BEING 
TRUTHFUL IS TOTALLY FINE.
CHILDREN CAN SENSE IF YOU ARE 
CONCERNED, AND SO YOU DON'T WANT
TO LIE.
SO IF YOU DO HAVE CONCERNS, 
EXPRESS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE.
DON'T GIVE THEM A LAUNDRY LIST 
OF THINGS THAT THEY CAN'T DO 
ANYTHING ABOUT, AND THEN QUICKLY
TURN TO PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS.
SAY, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT QUITE 
SURE SOCIAL DISTANCING HAS BEEN 
FIGURED OUT.
THIS IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE YOU TO
DO.
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THIS 
NOODLE, AND YOU CAN MEASURE YOUR
SPACE, OR LET'S PRACTICE THE 
MASK, OR HANDWASHING.
SO BE VERY SPECIFIC AND 
PRACTICAL AT THIS POINT WITH 
YOUNG PEOPLE, AND TRY NOT TO 
OVERWHELM THEM WITH YOUR OWN 
INDIVIDUAL CONCERNS.
>> Ian: DR. UNGAR, NEXT QUESTION
TO YOU.
I THINK TWICE ABOUT LEAVING HOME
AND GOING OUT IN PUBLIC, AND I'M
ON EDGE WHEREVER I'M OUT IN 
PUBLIC PLACES.
I'VE CERTAINLY HEARD PEOPLE SAY 
THINGS LIKE THAT.
YOU PROBABLY HAVE TOO.
WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE?
>> YEAH, SO THIS IS A WEIRD 
TIME.
IF YOU'RE NOT WORRIED, THERE'S 
SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU.
SO YOU'VE GOT TO VALIDATE, IT'S 
NORMAL TO BE ANXIOUS AND 
WORRIED.
IT'S BASED ON REALITY.
THERE'S NOTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT 
THAT.
THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT AN ILLNESS 
OR ANYTHING.
IT JUST MEANS WE HAVE TO 
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, ACCEPT THAT.
TO HIDE OUT AND HAVE THE ANXIETY
OVERWHELM AND PARALYZE YOU, IF 
WE'RE NOW ALLOWED OUT AND BEING 
INCREASINGLY ALLOWED OUT TO GO 
START DOINGS THINGS, IT MEANS 
IT'S TIME TO BEGIN DIPPING YOUR 
TOE IN THE SHALLOW END AND 
GRADUALLY MOVING ON AND GETTING 
USED TO A MANAGEABLE AMOUNT OF 
ANXIETY.
AND IT WILL GET A LITTLE BETTER.
IT'S REALLY SCARY AT THE 
BEGINNING, BUT YOU GO WITH YOUR 
COMFORT LEVEL, START EXPOSING 
YOURSELF.
BECAUSE WE HAVE TO LEARN TO LIVE
WITH THE ANXIETY AND TO LIVE 
WITH THE REALITY IN AS SAFE A 
POSSIBLE AS WAY AS WE CAN.
I WOULD JUST ACKNOWLEDGE IT, 
VALIDATE IT, BUT THEN ENCOURAGE 
THEM TO BEGIN STARTING TO 
GRADUALLY GET OUT THERE TO THE 
DEGREE THAT THEY CAN COMFORTABLY
DO IT.
IT WILL GET A LITTLE BIT BETTER 
AND BETTER AS THEY GRADUALLY 
EXPOSE THEMSELVES OVER TIME.
>> Ian: AND DR. UNGAR, THE NEXT 
QUESTION TO YOU AS WELL, THE 
PANDEMIC HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY 
HORRIBLE.
I WAS RAISED TO BE A GOOD HARD 
WORKER.
HAVING MY JOB TAKEN AWAY FROM ME
HAS CAUSED ENDLESS AMOUNTS OF 
ANXIETY.
I WANT MY JOB BACK.
>> YEAH, SO I REALLY FEEL FOR 
PEOPLE LIKE THAT.
I MEAN, THIS REALLY SUCKS.
IT'S GOT SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL 
ECONOMIC IMPACTS AND WORK 
IMPACTS FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, AND
THAT'S JUST A REAL HARSH 
REALITY.
SO I UNDERSTAND HOW UPSET 
THEY'LL BE, DOWN AND SAD.
IF YOU'RE REALLY NEGATIVE AND 
REALLY FEELING DOWN AND NOTHING 
GETS YOU OUT OF IT, THEN I THINK
YOU NEED TO GO GET CHECKED OUT.
CONTACT YOUR HEALTH PROVIDER, 
FAMILY DOCTOR, MENTAL HEALTH 
HOTLINE, BECAUSE THERE'S A 
SLIGHT CHANCE THAT THAT REGULAR 
DOWN THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO 
FEEL BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY 
CAN ACTUALLY SLIDE INTO A MENTAL
HEALTH OR MEDICAL CONDITION WE 
CALL DEPRESSION.
SO IF YOU'RE TOO DESPAIRED, 
PLEASE GET CHECKED OUT.
>> Ian: DR. KANG, ON THAT THEME 
FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE FEELING MAYBE
IT'S NOT EVEN OVERWHELMING 
ANXIETY, BUT JUST NERVOUS ABOUT 
GETTING INTO ANY KIND OF ROUTINE
AT ALL, YOUR WORD TO THEM?
WE HAVE ABOUT 30 SECONDS.
>> I WOULD AGREE WITH DR. UNGAR.
I THINK THAT THERE IS THIS 
CONCEPT OF PANDEMIC FATIGUE, THE
PRECURSOR TO MENTAL HEALTH 
SYMPTOMS ARE CHARACTERIZED BY 
SLEEP DISTURBANCE, IRRITABILITY,
ANXIETY, FEELING OF LONELINESS.
BE CAREFUL AND WATCHFUL FOR 
THOSE AND BASIC SELF-CARE, 
ROUTINE REGULAR SLEEP, MOVEMENT,
EXERCISE AND SOCIAL CONNECTION.
IT'S NOT SOCIALIZING BUT SOCIAL 
BONDING.
BE VERY AWARE.
WE NEED TO FLATTEN THE MENTAL 
HEALTH CURVE.
AND REALLY HELP CANADIANS GET 
THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT TIME.
>> Ian: I DON'T SAY THIS GLIBLY.
IT ACTUALLY IS COMFORTING 
HEARING FROM BOTH OF YOU.
THERE WERE LOTS OF QUESTIONS WE 
DIDN'T GET TO.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN DO THIS AGAIN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> THANK YOU. 
>> MY PLEASURE.
>> Ian: AND THANKS TO ALL OF YOU
WHO SHARED YOUR EXPERIENCES WITH
US, EITHER BY EMAIL OR ON SOCIAL
MEDIA.
OBVIOUSLY WE COULDN'T GET TO 
MANY OF THEM, MUCH LESS ALL OF 
THEM, BUT WE DO APPRECIATE BEING

TONIGHT LEN NEWTON IS REMEMBERED
BY HIS NEPHEW.
>> I AM TONY ZANATTA, LEN 
NEWTON'S NEPHEW.
LEN PASSED AWAY APRIL 23, 2020, 
DUE TO COMPLICATIONS FROM 
COVID-19.
HE WAS DAYS SHY OF HIS 98TH 
BIRTHDAY.
HE WAS A VETERAN OF WORLD WAR 
II, A VANCOUVER FIREMAN FOR 34 
YEARS, AND 41 YEARS RETIRED WITH
THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE, MY AUNT 
CHARLOTTE.
MY UNCLE WAS A -- POSSESSED AN 
AMAZING SENSE OF HUMOUR AND 
ABILITY TO TELL A STORY.
HE WAS A CHARACTER LARGER THAN 
LIFE.
HE WAS STOIC YET SENSITIVE AND 
TRULY CARED ABOUT PEOPLE.
HE WAS MODEST AND GENTLE, YET HE
POSSESSED THE STEEL OF AN HONEST
MAN.
HE WAS BORN IN VANCOUVER IN 
1922.
AT 19 HE ENLISTED IN THE ROYAL 
CANADIAN NAVY AND WAS ASSIGNED 
TO THE HMCS SUDBURY AS A STOKER 
WITH HIS DESIGNATED BATTLE 
STATION ON THE DEATH CHARGES.
-- DEPTH CHARGES.
2019 HE RETURNED TO HALIFAX FROM
VANCOUVER TO TOUR WITH THE 
SISTER SHIP.
HE DELIGHTED THE CREW WITH HIS 
STORIES FROM BACK IN THE DAY.
AFTER SURVIVING THE ATLANTIC 
CONVOYS, LEN WAS DISCHARGED IN 
'46 AND JOINED THE VANCOUVER 
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
A MAN VERY PROUD OF HIS CHOSEN 
PROFESSION, HE RETIRED WITH 34 
YEARS' SERVICE AT THE RANK OF 
CAPTAIN.
HE LIVED AT HOME WITH CHARLOTTE 
UNTIL THE END, MAKING CHILDREN'S
TOYS AND KEEPING THE GARDEN.
HE WOULD HORRIFY THE NEIGHBOURS 
BY CLIMBING LADDERS AT AGE 97 TO
CLEAN THE EAVES AND TO PUT UP 
THE CANADIAN FLAG ON DOMINION 
DAY.
HE WAS ALWAYS VERY CHILD-LIKE IN
HIS QUALITIES, IN HIS LOVE OF 
LIFE.
AND HE WAS A MAN OF GREAT 
DIGNITY, POISE AND ARMED WITH A 
SENSE OF HUMOUR, A TWINKLE IN 
HIS EYE THAT COULD CHARM ANYONE.
HE WAS A TRUE CANADIAN HERO, 
SELFLESS, LOVED AND RESPECTED BY
ALL WHO KNEW HIM.
>> Ian: AND THANKS TO TONY FOR 
SHARING THAT.

UNPRECEDENTED CHALLENGE FROM A 
37-YEAR-OLD STAY-AT-HOME MOM.

THE CALL FOR CHANGE IS GETTING 
LOUDER, AND IT'S LED BY SVETLANA
TIKHANOVSKAYA.

PATIENT, SHE SAYS.
I'M TIRED OF BEING SILENT.
SHE IS A RELUCTANT POLITICIAN 
WHO ONLY PUT HER NAME ON THE 
BALLOT AFTER HER HUSBAND, A 
POLITICAL BLOGGER WHO PLANNED TO
CHALLENGE THE PRESIDENT, WAS 
ARRESTED.
>> I AM SCARED EVERY DAY, BUT I 
HAD TO TAKE MY FEARS, MY SCARES 
INTO THIS AND GO AHEAD.
>> Reporter: ALEXANDER 
LUKASHENKO, OFTEN REFERRED TO AS
EUROPE'S LAST DICTATOR, HAS BEEN
IN POWER FOR 26 YEARS, BUT HIS 
POPULARITY IS WANING.
THE ECONOMY OF BELARUS IS 
STRUGGLING AND THERE ARE 
PERSISTENT ACCUSATIONS OF 
CORRUPTION.
LUKASHENKO HAS ALSO ESSENTIALLY 
BRUSHED OFF THE CORONAVIRUS AS A
NON-ISSUE.
THERE IS NO VIRUS HERE, HE SAID.
DO YOU SEE THEM, FLYING AROUND?
REFUSING TO CANCEL LARGE EVENTS,
EVEN SUGGESTING VODKA AND SAUNAS
COULD STOP THE VIRUS.
>> TO SHOW THAT ACTUALLY 
BELARUSIANS CANNOT TRUST 
AUTHORITIES. 
>> Reporter: THIS POLITICAL 
ANALYST SAYS PEOPLE ARE ANGRY 
AND IT'S MADE WORSE BY CONCERNS 
THE ELECTION WON'T BE FAIR.
LUKASHENKO HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF 
RIGGING ELECTIONS, USING TACTICS
LIKE VOTER SUPPRESSION, SINCE HE
CAME TO POWER.
HE IS EXPECTED TO DECLARE 
HIMSELF THE WINNER AGAIN, AND 
THERE WILL LIKELY BE PROTESTS.
>> THEY WILL TAKE PLACE, AND FOR
SURE POLICE WILL BE -- AND IT 
WILL BE VIOLENT.

JOURNALISTS HAVE BEEN ROUNDED UP
AND JAILED, BUT IT'S NOT

COSTLINESS NATURAL DISASTER 
AFFECTING CANADIANS.
FOR EXAMPLE, IN EASTERN CANADA 
LAST YEAR ALONE, INSURANCE 
COMPANIES PAID OUT $208 MILLION.
AND THE IMPACT, OF COURSE, IS 
BEYOND FINANCIAL.

TOLL ON HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
CANADIANS.
A NEW REPORT SAYS PROVINCES AND 
TERRITORIES NEED TO MOVE FASTER 
TO GET AHEAD OF FLOOD RISK.
AS TASHAUNA REID TELLS US, 
THERE'S BEEN SOME IMPROVEMENT 
FROM RECENT YEARS, BUT NOT 
NEARLY ENOUGH.

>> Reporter: ALONG RIVERS, 
COASTLINES AND IN CITIES, 
FLOODING IMPACTS MUCH OF THIS 
COUNTRY.
AND A NEW REPORT FROM THE INTACT
CENTRE ON CLIMATE ADAPTATION 
EXPLORED HOW PREPARED CANADA IS 
FOR FLOOD RISK.
RESEARCHERS INTERVIEWED 139 
GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES AND 
GRADED PROVINCES AND TERRITORIES
ON THINGS LIKE EMERGENCY 
MANAGEMENT.
FLOOD MAPPING AND LAND USE 
PLANNING.
OVERALL CANADA RECEIVED A C, A 
STEP UP FROM THE C MINUS THREE 
YEARS EARLIER. 
>> SO THE GOOD NEWS IS WE 
IMPROVED A LITTLE BIT.
THE BAD NEWS IS WE DIDN'T 
IMPROVE THAT MUCH. 
>> Reporter: RESEARCHERS SAY 
PROVINCES AND TERRITORIES WERE 
STRONG IN AREAS SUCH AS 
EMERGENCY PLANNING, BUT LESS SO 
WHEN IT CAME TO REGULATION 
AROUND DEVELOPMENT IN FLOOD RISK
ZONES. 
>> EVEN IN AREAS THAT WE KNOW 
ARE AT HIGH RISK OF FLOODING, WE
ARE NOT ALWAYS AS FORCEFUL AS WE
COULD BE IN REFERENCE TO NOT 
LETTING PEOPLE BUILD AND DEVELOP
IN THOSE AREAS.
>> Reporter: THE PROVINCE THAT 
SCORED THE HIGHEST ACROSS THE 
BOARD WAS P.E.I.
>> WE HAVE BEAUTIFUL COASTLINES.
THOSE AREAS ARE JUST NATURALLY 
MORE AT RISK DUE TO FLOODING. 
>> Reporter: IN RECENT YEARS, 
THE ISLAND HAS UPDATED ITS FLOOD
MAPS, INSTALLED A STORM SURGE 
WARNING SYSTEM, AND INTRODUCED 
TWO ARTIFICIAL REEFS TO PREVENT 
SHORELINE FLOODING.

WHERE DO YOU PUT INFRASTRUCTURE,
WHAT KINDS OF INFRASTRUCTURE DO 
YOU PLACE IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS 
SO THAT YOU CAN MINIMIZE THE

>> Ian: IN OAK BAY, NEAR 
VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, THE 
DEER POPULATION IS OUT OF 
CONTROL, CAUSING CAR CRASHES AND
RAVAGING GARDENS, JUST TO NAME A
COUPLE OF PROBLEMS.
AS WE FIRST SHOWED YOU IN 
OCTOBER, THERE'S AN ONGOING 
PROGRAM WITH A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND
SOLUTION.
THE DEER ARE BEING GIVEN BIRTH 
CONTROL.
TANYA FLETCHER EXPLAINS. 
>> Reporter: THIS IS THE FACE OF
OAK BAY'S DEER PROBLEM.
THE PICTURESQUE COMMUNITY 
NESTLED ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF 
VICTORIA HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY 
DEER.

I'M NOT SURE HOW, BUT THEY FIND 
A WAY.

PROBLEMATIC. 
>> THEY POOH ON MY LAWN, EAT MY 
PLANTS. 
>> WE'VE BEEN IN OUR HOUSE FOR 
24 YEARS.
>> Reporter: AND SOME RESIDENTS 
HAVE HAD ENOUGH. 
>> AT FIRST I THOUGHT THEY WERE 
ADORABLE, AND NOW THEY ARE SUCH 
A PEST.
>> Reporter: BUT THE 
OVERPOPULATION IS NOT A NEW 
PROBLEM.
THE DEER HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR 
YEARS, SO IN 2015, THE 
MUNICIPALITY LAUNCHED A TRIAL 
DEER CULL.
IT DIDN'T GO OVER WELL. 
>> THERE WAS A LOT OF, I GUESS, 
CONTENTION AROUND THE CULL AT 
THAT TIME.
SO THERE'S A PROPOSAL MADE THAT 
SAME YEAR TO TRY 
IMMUNOCONTRACEPTION. 
>> Reporter: 
IMMUNOCONTRACEPTION, ALSO KNOWN 
AS ANIMAL BIRTH CONTROL.
>> I'VE JUST BEEN DOING A HALF 
MILL. 
>> Reporter: CUTTING-EDGE 
SCIENCE IS NOW BEING USED IN A 
PILOT PROGRAM TO TRY TO PREVENT 
THE DEER FROM PROCREATING.
FIRST RESEARCHERS HAVE TO FIGURE
OUT EXACTLY HOW MANY DEER THEY 
ARE DEALING WITH.
A CONTROL GROUP IS IDENTIFIED, 
AND THOSE DEER ARE TAGGED.
>> SAFETY IS ON.
THERE IS A DART IN THE RIFLE.
>> Reporter: THE TEAM SETS OUT 
EARLY IN THE MORNING, SEARCHING 
FOR DEER ON SUBURBAN STREETS.
NO SUBTLE TASK IN THE MIDDLE OF 
A SMALL CITY. 
>> IT'S JUST IMPORTANT THAT WE 
MAKE SURE THAT WE DO THINGS 
RIGHT, THAT WE'RE NOT TAKING 
UNNECESSARY RISKS OR UNNECESSARY
CHALLENGES. 
>> Reporter: NOW IT'S TIME TO 
LOOK FOR A DOE THAT'S TAGGED TO 
BE TARGETED FOR THE VACCINE.

LONG TO SPOT ONE. 
>> JUST HIM RUNNING INTO THE 
FOREST HERE.

LOAD THE TRANQUILLIZERS, AND 
WITHIN MINUTES, THEIR TARGET IS 
BROUGHT DOWN, THE SECOND ONE OF 
THE DAY.
>> JUST PUT HER ON THIS SIDE OF 
THE TREE HERE. 
>> Reporter: THE DOE IS CARRIED 
OUT INTO THE OPEN, AND NOW IT'S 
TIME TO INJECT THE VACCINE.
>> WHERE DID SHE GET DARTED?
>> DARTED LEFT. 
>> YOU WANT TO INJECT IT IN THE 
LEFT. 
>> Reporter: THE BIG QUESTION, 
WILL IT WORK?
AT THIS POINT RESEARCHERS ARE 
PEGGING ITS EFFICACY AT AROUND 
70 TO 80%, AND THE HOPE IS TO 
EXPAND THIS PILOT PROGRAM RIGHT 
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
>> IF IT WORKS, IT'S REALLY 
GOING TO BE A WIN-WIN, AND SO 
ALMOST UNIFORMLY PEOPLE ARE 
REALLY STRONGLY ON BOARD WITH 
WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE.
RIGHT NOW WE CAN'T THINK OF ANY 
REASONS WHY IT WOULDN'T WORK 
SOMEWHERE ELSE.
>> ARE YOU READY FOR REVERSAL. 
>> Reporter: COMMUNITIES 
THROUGHOUT CANADA ARE EAGERLY 
AWAITING THE RESULTS, OR BETTER 
YET LACK OF RESULTS OF THIS 
GROUNDBREAKING STUDY. 
>> THAT WAY.

SUCCESS FOR NOW. 
>> YEAH, ATA GIRL.

PHASE NOW FINISHED. 
>> OH, THERE'S ONE THERE.

HOPING THE SOLUTION IS AS 
OBVIOUS.

CHANCE TO WIN.
THE GOOD NEWS ALSO IS THAT THE 
OTHER HALF OF THOSE 
FIFTY-FIFTIES HAS GONE TO THE 
EDMONTON OILERS FOUNDATION, 
WHICH DOLES OUT LOTS OF GRANTS

THE BAD NEWS, OF COURSE, WE WENT
