VANCOUVER NEWS.
>> I IMPLORE ANYBODY WHO IS 
USING DRUGS RIGHT NOW, DO NOT DO
IT ALONE.
>> Lien:  ANOTHER DEADLY MONTH.
175 OVERDOSE DEATHS IN JULY.
ALSO ...
>> KEEP YOU CONNECTED WITHOUT 
LOSING A SPOT IN THE SCHOOL. 
>> Mike:  THE VAOUFRD SCHOOL 
BOARD EXPLORES -- VANCOUVER -- A
DIFFERENT BACK-TO-SCHOOL OPTION 
TO EASE PARENTS' FEARS.
AND ...
>> PLEASE DON'T COME TO THIS 
LOCATION.
DON'T CONTAMINATE THE TRAIL. 
>> Lien:  HIKER MISSING FOR MORE
THAN 48 HOURS.
HAVE YOU SEEN ALI NADERI?
>> Announcer:  THIS IS CBC NEWS 
VANCOUVER NEWS.
>> Mike:  GOOD EVENING AND 
THANKS FOR JOINING US ONLINE 
TONIGHT.
IT'S A DISTURBING AND TRAGIC 
TREND SHOWING NO SIGNS OF 
SLOWING. 
>> Lien:  THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE 
DYING FROM OVERDOSES THAN CAR 
ACCIDENTS, SUICIDE, AND AND 
COVID-19 COMBINED. 
>> THE TOXIC ILLICIT DRUG SUPPLY
CONTINUES TO HAVE A PROFOUND AND
TRAGIC IMPACT ON THE PEOPLE OF 
BRITISH COLUMBIA.
>> Reporter:  ANOTHER 175 PEOPLE
HAVE DIED FROM OVERDOSES IN JULY
ALONE.
IT'S A CRISIS THAT ISN'T LIMITED
TO THE DOWNTOWN EASTSIDE.
BUT TOUCHES EVERY REGION OF THE 
PROVINCE.
IN 2020, THE MAJORITY OF THE 
DEATHS TOOK PLACE INSIDE PRIVATE
HOMES FOLLOWED BY OTHER 
RESIDENCE WHICH INCLUDE SOCIAL 
AND SUPPORTIVE HOUSING AND 
FINALLY OUTSIDE.
AND MORE MEN ARE DYING COMPARED 
TO WOMEN.
LAPOINTE SAYS THE PANDEMIC HAS 
RESTRICTED ACCESS TO CRITICAL 
HARM-REDUCTION SERVICES, AND 
BC'S TOP DOCTOR AGREES.
>> IT'S ALSO DISMAYING TO KNOW 
THAT ALL OF THE WORK THAT WE 
HAVE DONE AROUND RESPONDING TO 
COVID-19 HAS BEEN A CONTRIBUTING
FACTOR TO THE NUMBERS OF DEATHS 
THAT WE'RE SEEING FROM THE TOXIC
DRUG SUPPLY.
>> Reporter:  A BIG ISSUE HAS 
BEEN REDUCED HOURS AT SUPERVISED
INJECTION AND OVERDOSE 
PREVENTION SITES, AND BOTH WOMEN
AGREE ONGOING STIGMA IS KEEPING 
PEOPLE AWAY FROM THOSE 
LIFE-SAVING SERVICES. 
>> I IMPLORE ANYBODY WHO IS 
USING DRUGS RIGHT NOW, DO NOT DO
IT ALONE.
>> Reporter:  FOR OTHERS WHO 
HAVE LIVED THROUGH THE PAIN, THE
NEWS WAS TRAGIC, BUT EXPECTED.
>> MY HEART IS BROKEN.
BUT ALSO I'M INCREDIBLY 
FRUSTRATED BY THE SLOW PACE OF 
CHANGE IN OUR -- IN OUR FEDERAL 
AND PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT.
>> Reporter:  AFTER MCBAIN LOST 
HER 25-YEAR-OLD SON JORDAN TO A 
DRUG OVERDOSE, SHE FOUNDED THE 
GROUP MOMS STOP THE HARM.
SHE WAS PART OF AN ADVISORY 
BOARD FOR THE PROVINCE, BUT 
EARLIER THIS MONTH, THEY WALKED 
AWAY FROM THE MEETINGS OVER A 
LACK OF URGENCY.
>> THE ONLY THING THAT ACTUALLY 
MAKES SENSE AROUND THE HOLDUP IS
THE UNWILLINGNESS OF THE PEOPLE 
AT THE TOP AND THE PEOPLE WHO 
CAN CHANGE POLICY TO DO THE 
COURAGEOUS THING.
>> Reporter:  SO WHAT DOES 
MCBAIN THINK THE COURAGEOUS 
THING IS?
>> ACCESS TO SAFER SUPPLY, 
HAVING ACCESS TO A SAFER SUPPLY.
>> IMPLEMENT A SAFE SUPPLY OF 
DRUGS. 
>> Reporter:  WITH A CLEAR 
ANSWER FROM THE EXPERT, WHAT'S 
THE HOLDUP?
IN A STATEMENT, THE MINISTRY OF 
HEALTH AND ADDICTIONS SAYS THEY 
ARE WORKING ON IT.
IN MARCH, BC MADE IT EASIER TO 
PRESCRIBE HYDROMORPHONE AND NOW 
AN EVALUATION IS UNDERWAY TO 
BETTER UNDERSTAND THE IMPACTS OF
PRESCRIBING THE DRUG.
BUT MCBAIN KNOWS THAT FOR MANY, 
IT'S ALREADY TOO LATE.

>> Lien:  A NEW COVID-19 
OUTBREAK AT LANGLEY MEMORIAL 
HOSPITAL WHERE A DISCHARGED 
PATIENT TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE 
VIRUS.
THE HOME IN SURREY IS ALSO IN 
THE MIDST OF AN OUTBREAK.
10 LONG-TERM CARE OR ASSISTED 
LIVING FACILITIES ARE 
EXPERIENCING OUTBREAKS AS ARE 
TWO ACUTE CARE FACILITIES.
HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE ALSO UP TO 
22, WITH SEVEN PATIENTS IN 
INTENSIVE CARE.
THAT TOTAL IS THE HIGHEST SINCE 
EARLY JUNE.
BC ANNOUNCING 58 NEW CASES 
TODAY, THE SECOND FEWEST IN TWO 
WEEKS, BUT THE TOTAL CASE LOAD 
IS NOW HIGHER THAN IT WAS IN 
MARCH, AND THERE ARE 925 ACTIVE 
CASES.
>> Mike:  TONIGHT BRIAR STEWART 
SHOWS US HOW HEALTH OFFICIALS 
ARE CONFRONTING THAT SURGE IN 
CASES WITH SOME FIRM AND STEADY 
PRESSURE. 
>> Reporter:  MANY METRO 
VANCOUVER, MASKS NOW MANDATORY 
ON TRANSIT WHILE OFFICIALS SAY 
THE FOCUS IS ON EDUCATION AND 
RIDERS COULD BE FINED IF THEY 
DON'T COMPLY.
IT'S THE SAME WHEN IT COMES TO 
LIMITS ON CROWD SIZES IN 
RESTAURANTS AND BANQUET HALLS. 
>> WE HOPE THIS SENDS A 
MESSAGE ...
>> Reporter:  OVER THE WEEKEND, 
MORE THAN 400 BUSINESSES IN 
SURREY WERE VISITED BY 
COMPLIANCE TEAMS.
FOUR WERE GIVEN FINES FOR 
CONTINUALLY VIOLATING HEALTH 
ORDERS. 
>> THEY MADE EFFORTS TO WORK 
WITH THEM TO -- TO KIND OF GAIN 
THEIR COMPLIANCE, BUT, YEAH, 
THEY WERE GIVEN REPEAT WARNINGS.
>> Reporter:  POLICE WILL ALSO 
BE OUT AT THIS INTERSECTION 
TONIGHT BECAUSE THE CANUCKS ARE 
PLAYING.
[ Horn ]
>> Reporter:  ABOUT A THOUSAND 
PEOPLE GATHERED HERE ON FRIDAY 
TO CELEBRATE A WIN, THOUGH 
OFFICERS WILL BE URGING PEOPLE 
TO SPACE OUT.
ON THE WEEKEND, THE TENANT WHO 
LIVED IN THIS 300-SQUARE-FOOT 
APARTMENT IN VICTORIA ALSO GOT A
$2,300 FINE WHEN POLICE SAY HE 
HOSTED A PARTY WITH UPWARDS OF 
40 PEOPLE.
>> IT'S NOT LIKE I HAD 250 
PEOPLE NOT WEARING MARKINGS.
80% OF THE PEOPLE IN MY HOUSE 
WERE WEARING MASKS.
>> Reporter:  BUT THE FINE 
DIDN'T STOP HIM FROM HOSTING 
ANOTHER PARTY THE NEXT NIGHT.
HEALTH OFFICIALS HAVE PUT OUT 
WARNINGS ABOUT A NUMBER OF 
COVID-19 CASES CONNECTED TO BARS
AND CLUBS AND SOME THINK THE 
ENFORCEMENT SHOULD BE HARSHER. 
>> BUT I DO THINK THAT CLOSURES 
SHOULD BE ON THE TABLE IF 
PARTICULAR OPERATORS, PARTICULAR
OWNERS DON'T TAKE THIS 
SERIOUSLY. 
>> Reporter:  HEALTH OFFICIALS 
SAY THEY AREN'T CONSIDERING 
INDUSTRY-WIDE CLOSURES IN PART 
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THERE IS 
LITTLE UNDETECTED TRANSMISSION, 
AND THEY ARE ABLE TO TRACE AND 
CONNECT MOST CASES OF COVID-19.
>> WE DO KNOW THAT IF WE JUST 
SHUT THINGS DOWN, THEY DO TEND 
TO -- TO GO UNDERGROUND, WHERE 
THEY ARE LESS CONTROLLED, THEY 
CAN CAUSE MORE CHALLENGES.
>> Reporter:  WHICH IS WHY 
OFFICIALS SAY THEY ARE STAYING 
THE COURSE AND STILL PREFER A 
LITTLE NUDGING OVER ENFORCEMENT.
BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS, 
VANCOUVER.
>> Mike:  AS WE INCH CLOSER TO 
SEPTEMBER, MANY PARENTS ARE 
WONDERING WHAT BACK TO SCHOOL 
WILL LOOK LIKE DURING THE 
PANDEMIC, AND MANY ARE 
FRUSTRATED WITH WHAT THEY SEE AS
A LACK OF OPTIONS. 
>> Lien:  NOW, AS TINA LOVGREEN 
REPORTS, THE VANCOUVER SCHOOL 
BOARD IS FLOATING A NEW IDEA.
>> Reporter:  WITH JUST OVER TWO
WEEKS AWAY FROM BACK TO SCHOOL, 
BUT STILL MANY PARENTS WEIGHING 
THEIR OPTIONS.
WILL THEY OR WON'T THEY SEND 
THEIR KIDS BACK INTO THE 
CLASSROOM?
>> I'M NOT COMFORTABLE SENDING 
HER BACK UNDER THE CURRENT PLAN,
WHICH WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, 
REGULAR CLASS SIZES. 
>> Reporter:  CHRISTA JAMES'S 
DAUGHTER IS GOING INTO GRADE 7.
HER OPTIONS:  SEND HER BACK 
FULL-TIME, HIGH SCHOOL HER, OR 
PUT HER INTO DISTANCE EDUCATION.
THE LAST TWO OPTIONS WOULD MEAN 
HER CHILD WOULD LOSE HER PLACE 
AT HER SCHOOL. 
>> TO ME, THAT'S KIND OF LIKE 
BLACKMAILING PARENTS, PUTTING 
KIDS INTO A SITUATION THEY ARE 
NOT COMFORTABLE ABOUT.
SO WE DO NEED OTHER OPTIONS. 
>> Reporter:  JUST THIS WEEK, 
THE BOARD WAS ASKING IF PARENTS 
ARE INTERESTED IN A FOURTH 
OPTION, WHICH ALLOWS CHILDREN TO
LEARN REMOTELY BUT STILL KEEP 
THEIR SPOT IN THE SYSTEM. 
>> THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF PUSH 
AMONGST THE PARENTS -- FOLKS 
THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN 
THOUGHT OF MORE THOROUGHLY 
EARLIER.
BUT I'M LOATHE TO PICK ON 
ANYBODY FOR THAT BECAUSE WE'RE 
ALL SCRAMBLING. 
>> Reporter:  NO ONE FROM THE 
VANCOUVER SCHOOL BOARD WAS 
AVAILABLE FOR AN INTERVIEW BUT 
IN A STATEMENT IT SAID THAT 
DISTRICT STAFF HAVE BEEN HEARING
FROM FAMILIES AND PARENTS WHO 
ARE LOOKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL 
OPTION, SOMETHING LIKE THIS 
HYBRID MODEL.
IT IT HAS IT HAS WRITTEN TO THE 
MINISTRY TO REQUEST FUNDING.
>> THE MAJORITY OF DISTRICTS ARE
NOT ABLE TO OFFER THIS AT THIS 
MOMENT BECAUSE THE PROVINCE HAS 
NOT GIVEN FUNDING TO BE ABLE TO 
PUT THIS TYPE OF MODELLING IN 
PLACE.
>> Reporter:  THE SURREY 
DISTRICT PARENT ADVISORY COUNCIL
IS ALSO CALLING ON THE MINISTRY 
TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR A SIMILAR
PROGRAM.
THE WAY IT STANDS, THE STUDENTS 
WHO ARE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED ARE 
BASICALLY HAVING TO HOME-SCHOOL 
THEMSELVES AND THEN THE TEACHERS
WHO ARE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED THEY 
HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO -- TO GO 
ON AN UNPAID LEAVE, AND WE NEED 
EVERY TRAINED TEACHER, YOU KNOW,
IN THE SYSTEM AS POSSIBLE.
>> Reporter:  VANCOUVER PARENTS 
HAVE UNTIL THURSDAY TO VOTE IN A
SURVEY, EVEN THOUGH IT'S STILL 
UNCLEAR WHETHER THAT FOURTH 
OPTION WILL EVEN BE AVAILABLE.
TINA LOVGREEN, CBC NEWS, 
VANCOUVER.
>> Mike:  AND CBC NEWS HAS 
LEARNED THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT 
PLANS TO GIVE THE PROVINCES AND 
TERRITORIES $2 BILLION TO HELP 
WITH A SAFE RETURN TO SCHOOL.
THE MONEY WILL BE DISTRIBUTED ON
A PER-CAPITA BASIS.
DETAILS ON THE FUNDING ARE 
EXPECTED TOMORROW MORNING, BUT 
SOURCES SAY THERE WILL BE BROAD 
DISCRETION ON HOW TO USE THAT 
MONEY.
>> Lien:  A HIKER REPORTED 
MISSING ON A MOUNTAIN NORTH OF 
COQUITLAM IS SET TO SPEND HIS 
THIRD NIGHT ALONE IN THE 
WILDERNESS.
THE RCMP AND SEARCH-AND-RESCUE 
VOLUNTEERS SAY THEY ARE MAKING 
GOOD PROGRESS THANKS TO TIPS 
FROM THE PUBLIC.
>> Mike:  OUR RAFFERTY BAKER IS 
LIVE AT EAGLE MOUNTAIN TONIGHT.
SO RAFFERTY, HOW IS THAT SEARCH 
EFFORT GOING?
>> Reporter:  WELL, MIKE, IT'S 
BEEN A VERY BUSY AFTERNOON HERE 
AT EAGLE MOUNTAIN PARK.
COQUITLAM SEARCH AND RESCUE 
CALLED FOR MUTUAL SUPPORT FROM 
SURROUNDING AREAS, AND WELL OVER
40 VOLUNTEERS ARE TAKING PART.
A HELICOPTER IS SHUTTLING CREWS 
INTO DIFFERENT SPOTS IN THE 
WILDERNESS.
I'M TOLD THOSE NUMBERS ARE 
NECESSARY BECAUSE OF THE VAST 
NETWORK OF TRAILS THAT HAVE TO 
BE COVERED HERE.
A SECOND HELICOPTER, AN RCMP 
HELICOPTER, HAS BEEN SWEEPING 
THE AREA AS WELL, WATCHING FROM 
THE SKIES.
NOW, IT'S BEEN 48 HOURS SINCE 
ALI NADERI WENT MISSING.
POLICE SAY THERE IS NO FOUL PLAY
SUSPECTED AND THEY HAVE RECEIVED
HEAPS OF TIPS FROM THE PUBLIC, 
BUT NOBODY KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE 
NADERI PLANNED TO HIKE ON 
SUNDAY.
HOWEVER, THEY NOW HAVE FOOTAGE 
FROM A TRAIL CAMERA THAT HAS 
HELPED TO NARROW THE SEARCH.
>> WE DO KNOW, OBVIOUSLY BASED 
ON THE FOOTAGE, THAT HE WAS IN A
CERTAIN POINT AT A CERTAIN TIME.
THAT'S HELPED GUIDE OUR RESCUE 
VOLUNTEERS AND BECAUSE THEY CAN 
BE SO FOCUSSED NOW, THEY CAN 
REALLY PUT THE FULL STRENGTH OF 
THEIR ORGANIZATION INTO FINDING 
HIM.
>> Reporter:  THE FOOTAGE SHOWS 
NADERI IN SHORTS AND A LIGHT 
JACKET.
HE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE 
WEARING -- OR CARRYING A 
BACKPACK WITH THE TYPES OF 
SUPPLIES YOU WOULD WANT TO 
WEATHER TWO NIGHTS IN THE 
WILDERNESS OR THREE, IF THEY 
DON'T FIND HIM THIS EVENING.
NADERI IS DESCRIBED AS A 
52-YEAR-OLD PERSIAN MAN WITH 
BLACK, SALT AND PEPPER HAIR THAT
CURLS OVER HIS EARS AND BROWN 
EYES, HE IS 178 CENTIMETRES TALL
AND WEIGHS 80 KILOGRAMS.
HE IS WEARING DARK SHORTS, A 
DARK LIGHTWEIGHT HIKING JACKET 
AND CARRYING HIKING POLES.
POLICE ARE ASKING HIKERS TO STAY
AWAY FROM THE TRAILS IN THIS 
AREA.
>> Lien:  ALL RIGHT.
THANKS, RAFFERTY.
RAFFERTY BAKER LIVE FOR US FROM 
EAGLE MOUNTAIN IN COQUITLAM 
TONIGHT. 
>>> A VANCOUVER ISLAND MAN IS 
LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AFTER 
POTENTIALLY DEADLY CLOSE CALLS 
WITH A FLYING TIRE ON THE 
HIGHWAY.
SHAUN GARDINER WAS DRIVING THE 
TRANSCANADA NEAR CROFTON THIS 
PAST SUNDAY.
THAT'S WHEN A TIRE CAME LOOSE 
FROM A TRAILER BEING TOWED WI A 
VEHICLE HEADING -- BY A VEHICLE 
HEADING IN THE OPPOSITE 
DIRECTION.
IT WAS SLAMMED INTO THE FRONT OF
GARDINER'S TRUCK.
HE IS JUST GLAD IT WAS A VEHICLE
OF HIS SIZE THAT TOOK THE HIT.
>> TO SEE WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A 
GARBAGE BAG AT FIRST.
REALIZED IT WAS A TIRE.
NOWHERE TO GO, BEING A TRUCK 
RIGHT BESIDE ME AND A CAR BEHIND
ME, AND I COULD ONLY IMAGINE, IT
COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH WORSE 
FOR SOMEONE ELSE. 
>> Lien:  NOW, EVEN THOUGH THE 
DAMAGE WAS DRAMATIC, GARDINER 
WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND 
THANKFULLY NO ONE HURT IN THE 
INCIDENT.
ACCORDING TO HIM, THE DRIVER 
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TIRE HAS 
BEEN IDENTIFIED.
NO WORD ON FINES OR PENALTIES.

>> Mike:  THE NEW LEADER OF THE 
CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF CANADA 
HELD ITS FIRST NEWS CONFERENCE 
SINCE GETTING THE JOB EARLIER 
THIS WEEK. 
>> Lien:  ERIN O'TOOLE OUTLINED 
SOME OF HIS PRIORITIES TODAY. 
>> Mike:  AS HANNAH THIBEDEAU 
REPORTS, O'TOOLE IS TRYING TO 
POSITION HIMSELF AS A CHAMPION 
FOR AVERAGE CANADIANS.
>> DAY TWO. 
>> Reporter:  COFFEE IN HAND AND
A QUICK STRIDE.
ERIN O'TOOLE STARTED HIS DAY 
BRIGHT AND EARLY.
AND TODAY IT WAS PROJECTING THE 
LEADER HE IS STRIVING TO BE. 
>> I'M NOT FAMOUS.
I GET THINGS DONE.
I HAVE ALWAYS FOUGHT FOR 
CANADIANS. 
>> Reporter:  A NOT SO SUBTLE 
DISS TO THE TRUDEAU NAME.
SO CLEARLY HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE
LIKE TRUDEAU.
BUT WHAT ABOUT FORMER 
CONSERVATIVE LEADER ANDREW 
SCHEER?
>> I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR 
ANDREW AND I THANKED HIM FOR HIS
SERVICE.
HE IS AN IMPORTANT MEMBER OF THE
TEAM. 
>> Reporter:  BUT O'TOOLE IS NO 
SCHEER, WHO WAS DOGGED ABOUT HIS
SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE POSITIONS ON
ABORTION AND SAME-SEX MARRIAGE 
IN THE LAST ELECTION.
ISSUES THAT BECAME FATAL TO HIS 
LEADERSHIP.
O'TOOLE SAYS HE HAS A CLEAR 
TRACK RECORD ON HUMAN RIGHTS.
>> I WON THE LEADERSHIP OF THE 
CONSERVATIVE PARTY AS A PRO 
CHOICE CONSERVATIVE M.P., ONE 
THAT WON WITH A STRONG MANDATE.
THAT'S HOW I'M GOING TO LEAD AS 
THE LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION. 
>> Reporter:  O'TOOLE ALSO WANTS
TO MAKE SURE HE IS A UNITER, AND
HE PLANS TO REACH OUT TO 
LEADERSHIP OPPONENTS, LESLYN 
LEWIS AND PETER MacKAY AND WANTS
TO WORK WITH THE PROVINCES.
BUT HE ALSO SAYS HE COULD WORK 
WITH THE LIBERAL GOVERNMENT AND 
IS NOT YET READY TO SAY IF HE'LL
TRY TO TRIGGER AN ELECTION THIS 
FALL.
>> I WILL ALWAYS PUT THE 
INTERESTS OF CANADIANS FIRST, 
WILL COLLABORATE WHEN I CAN.
SO IF Mr. TRUDEAU THINKS HE CAN 
PLAY SOME GAMES WITH A NEW 
LEADER AND FORCE AN ELECTION, WE
WILL BE READY. 
>> IT WAS VERY CLEAR THAT HE 
WANTED TO CUT THE RUG FROM UNDER
HIS OPPONENTS AND START DEFINING
WHO HE IS AND WHAT HIS PARTY 
WILL STAND FOR BEFORE HIS 
OPPONENTS DO IT FOR HIM.
>> Reporter:  AND OVER THE NEXT 
WEEKS AND MONTHS, O'TOOLE WILL 
CONTINUE TO DEFINE WHAT TYPE OF 
LEADER HE IS, AS HE DEVELOPS HIS
POLICIES ON PANDEMIC RECOVERY, 
THE ECONOMY, AND CLIMATE CHANGE.
AND ALSO WHO HE APPOINTS AS HIS 
SHADOW CRITICS.
HANNAH THIBEDEAU, CBC NEWS, 
OTTAWA.
>> Mike:  IN U.S. POLITICS, DAY 
TWO OF THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL 
CONVENTION WILL FEATURE MORE 
MEMBERS OF THE TRUMP FAMILY. 
>> Reporter:  MELANIA WILL SPEAK
TONIGHT AS WELL AS HIS CHILDREN 
ERIC AND TIFFANY.
IT FOLLOWS A DAY OF FIERY ATTACK
SPEECHES AGAINST THE DEMOCRATS.
[ Cheering and Applause ]
>> Reporter:  PRESIDENT DONALD 
TRUMP SAID HIS PARTY'S 
CONVENTION WOULD OFFER AN 
UPLIFTING VISION TO AMERICANS 
BUT ON NIGHT ONE, THOSE WATCHING
HEARD A WHOLE LOT OF FEAR AND 
LOATHING.
A RANGE OF SPEAKERS WARNED 
VOTERS OF DIRE AND DANGEROUS 
CONSEQUENCES IF JOE BIDEN AND 
THE, QUOTE, RADICAL LEFT ARE 
ELECTED.
THEY CLAIMED THAT DEMOCRATS WANT
TO TAKE AWAY PEOPLE'S GUNS, 
THEIR FREEDOM OF SPEECH, AND 
THEIR POLICE.
>> I AM HERE TONIGHT TO TELL 
YOU, TO WARN YOU, THAT THIS 
ELECTION IS A DECISION BETWEEN 
PRESERVING AMERICA AS WE KNOW IT
AND ELIMINATING EVERYTHING THAT 
WE LOVE.
>> IT'S ALMOST LIKE THIS 
ELECTION IS SHAPING UP TO BE 
CHURCH, WORK, AND SCHOOL VERSUS 
RIOTING, LOOTING, AND VAND LIMB.
>> THEY WANT TO ENSLAVE YOU TO 
THE WEAK, DEPENDENT LIBERAL 
IDEOLOGY TO THE POINT THAT YOU 
WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THIS COUNTRY 
OR YOSELF. 
>> Reporter:  SPEAKERS PRAISED 
TRUMP'S LEADERSHIP ON THE 
ECONOMY AND ON THE COVID-19 
PANDEMIC.
THEY ALSO DEFENDED HIM AGAINST 
ACCUSATIONS THAT HE IS RACIST. 
>> BROUGHT UP IN THE DEEP SOUTH,
I HAVE SEEN RACISM UP CLOSE.
I KNOW WHAT IT IS.
AND IT ISN'T DONALD TRUMP.
>> Reporter:  OTHER TESTIMONIAL 
SOUGHT TO PORTRAY TRUMP AS A 
COMPASSIONATE MAN WHO CARES 
ABOUT EVERYDAY AMERICANS.
TO ILLUSTRATE THAT, TRUMP MADE 
BRIEF APPEARANCES FROM THE WHITE
HOUSE, TALKING TO FORMER 
HOSTAGES AND FRONT-LINE WORKERS.
TONIGHT THE SPOTLIGHT WILL FALL 
TO HIS WIFE, FIRST LADY MELANIA 
TRUMP.
SHE'LL DELIVER HER SPEECH LIVE 
FROM THE ROSE GARDEN AT THE 
WHITE HOUSE.
HER REMARKS WILL BE CLOSELY 
WATCHED.
WHEN SHE SPOKE AT THE 2016 
CONVENTION, SHE WAS ACCUSED OF 
PLAGIARIZING HER PREDECESSOR 
MICHELLE OBAMA.
THE SECRETARY OF STATE, MIKE 
POMPEO, WILL ALSO SPEAK TONIGHT 
FROM JERUSALEM, WHICH IS 
SPARKING CONTROVERSY.
HE IS ON A TAXPAYER-FUNDED TRIP 
TO THE MIDDLE EAST AND HE IS 
BREAKING PROTOCOL BY DELIVERING 
A PARTISAN SPEECH.
HIS ADDRESS IS EXPECTED TO FOCUS
ON TRUMP'S AMERICA FIRST FOREIGN
POLICY.
TRUMP IS ALSO EXPECTED TO MAKE 
MULTIPLE APPEARANCES DURING 
TONIGHT'S PRIME-TIME EVENTS, ALL
A WARM-UP TO HIS BIG ACCEPTANCE 
SPEECH THURSDAY NIGHT.

EXCLUSIVE.
OUR INVESTIGATION FOLLOWED LAST 
MONTH'S ATTACK ON RIDEAU HALL.
THE SUSPECT, A RESERVIST MEMBER 
OF A UNIT CALLED THE CANADIAN 
RANGERS. 
>> Mike:  NEARLY FOUR YEARS AGO,
THE MILITARY IDENTIFIED 
SUPPORTERS OF FAR-RIGHT 
MOVEMENTS IN THE RANGERS AND 
ALLOWED THEM TO KEEP SERVING.

[ Gunfire ]
>> THIS MESSAGE IS BROUGHT TO 
YOU BY THE 30%ERS OF TENNESSEE. 
>> Reporter:  IT STARTED IN THE 
STATES AND MIGRATED NORTH.
3 PERCENTERS ARE SURVIVALISTS 
AND GUN RIGHTS' ADVOCATES.
THE SOLDIERS OF ODIN WERE 
STARTED IN FINLAND WITH CHAPTERS
IN CANADA THAT HAVE TRIED TO 
PRESENT A SOFTER FACE.
AND SUPPORTERS OF BOTH GROUPS 
HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED IN A 
CANADIAN RANGER UNIT.
CBC NEWS BEGAN INVESTIGATING THE
FOURTH RANGER GROUP AFTER A 
MEMBER FROM MANITOBA WAS 
ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE 
STORMING OF RIDEAU HALL LAST 
MONTH AND THREATS MADE AGAINST 
THE PRIME MINISTER.
THE INVESTIGATION LED US TO ERIC
MIGLAND AND HIS FORMER WIFE, 
JODIE, ALSO A RANGER.
BOTH SUPPORTED THE 3 PERCENT 
MOVEMENT.
FOUR YEARS AGO, MILITARY 
COUNTERINTELLIGENCE BECAME AWARE
OF ERIC'S ONLINE POSTS AND 
INTERVIEWED HIM AS A POSSIBLE 
THREAT.
HIS SOCIAL MEDIA FEED IS FULL OF
ANTIGOVERNMENT RHETORIC.
ONE POST CALLS THE PRIME 
MINISTER A TREASONOUS BASTARD 
AND YET, AS OF LAST WEEK, 
ALTHOUGH NOT ON ACTIVE DUTY, HE 
WAS STILL IN THE RANGERS, TO THE
SHOCK AND DISMAY OF THE DEFENCE 
MINISTER. 
>> MY VIEWPOINTS HAVE BEEN VERY 
CLEAR OF THIS.
ANY TYPE OF BEHAVIOUR LIKE THIS 
IS UNACCEPTABLE. 
>> Reporter:  CBC NEWS CONTACTED
ERIC, WHO INITIALLY AGREED TO 
COMMENT.
HE HAS SINCE GONE SILENT.
HIS EX-WIFE IN AN E-MAIL SAYS 
THE COUPLE ARE NO LONGER THREE 
PERCENTERS.
JODIE SAID NEW MEMBERS OF THE 
GROUP HAVE RACIST AND 
ANTIGOVERNMENT LEANINGS AND THEY
WANTED NO PART OF IT, YET ERIC, 
AS LATE AS JUNE THIS YEAR, WAS 
STILL TWEETING SUPPORT FOR 3 
PERCENTERS.
ONE EXPERT BELIEVES THE MILITARY
TRIED TO REHABILITATE HIM BUT 
FAILED. 
>> THE FACT HE WAS NOT 
DISCHARGED OR ASKED TO LEAVE 
OUTRIGHT IS REALLY SURPRISING. 
>> Reporter:  THE MILITARY HAS 
LAUNCHED AN INVESTIGATION INTO 
WHAT CBC NEWS HAS UNCOVERED.
ASIDE FROM BEING UNABLE TO 
EXPLAIN WHY THE MEMBER WAS 
ALLOWED TO STAY, IT IS ALSO 
UNCLEAR WHY THE LEADERSHIP OF 
THE RANGER UNIT DIDN'T TAKE 
ACTION WHEN HIS ACTIVITIES 
BECAME APPARENT.

>> Mike:  TROPICAL STORM LAURA 
GAINING STRENGTH AS A HURRICANE.
>> Lien:  THIS AFTERNOON THE 
GOVERNOR OF TEXAS WARNED 
RESIDENTS TO PREPARE FOR A HIGH 
STORM SURGE AND WINDS OF MORE 
THAN 200 KILOMETRES PER HOUR.
>> WE HAVE ONLY A FEW MORE HOURS
FOR PEOPLE TO MAKE SURE THEY 
TAKE THE ACTION THAT IS NEEDED 
TO ENSURE THEIR SAFETY AND THE 
SAFETY OF THEIR PROPERTY.
>> Lien:  IN THE EARY CALM 
BEFORE LANDFALL, RESIDENTS WHO 
HAVE NOT BEEN ORDERED TO 
EVACUATE THEIR HOMES ARE BRACING
FOR DAMAGE. 
>> Mike:  LOUISIANA'S GOVERNOR 
SAYS LAURA COULD END UP 
RIVALLING THE FEROCITY OF THE 
MOST ATLANTIC HURRICANE EVER 
THAT STRUCK IN 2005, CLAIMING 
120 LIVES.
TROPICAL STORM MARCO PRECEDED 
LAURA YESTERDAY, WEAKENING 
BEFORE LANDFALL IN LOUISIANA.
AND METEOROLOGIST JOHANNA 
WAGSTAFFE JOINS US NOW.
THAT HURRICANE.
WHAT'S THE LATEST?
>> Johanna:  THIS IS A VERY 
SERIOUS SITUATION UNFOLDING IN 
THE GULF.
I WANT TO TAKE YOU BACK TO 
PICTURES OF RESIDENTS ALONG THAT
NORTH GULL COAST PREPARING FOR 
WHAT -- GULF COAST, PREPARING 
FOR WHAT WILL BE A MAJOR IMPACT.
IN FACT, OFFICIALS ASKING ANYONE
FROM BASICALLY HOUSTON TO 
WESTERN LOUISIANA TO PREPARE FOR
A MAJOR HURRICANE LANDFALL.
THIS STORM IS RAPIDLY 
INTENSIFYING AS WE SPEAK.
BASICALLY MOVING THROUGH WATER 
AT THE SEA SURFACE, EQUIVALENT 
TO BATHWATER TEMPERATURES.
THUNDERSTORMS JUST EXPLODING IN 
THE CENTRE RIGHT NOW, AND THIS 
IS WHY OFFICIALS AND RESIDENTS 
ARE TAKING THIS SO SERIOUSLY.
YOU MENTIONED MARCO, THAT HAS 
SORT OF RESATURATED THE GROUND.
IT WASN'T A HUGE IMPACT-MAKER 
BUT AS THE STORM HEADS 
NORTHWARD, IT CERTAINLY WILL BE 
PILING ON THE IMPACTS.
THIS STORM IS GOING THROUGH A 
PROCESS CALLED RAPID 
INTENSIFICATION.
SO CATEGORY THREE LIKELY WHEN IT
MAKES LANDFALL THURSDAY MORNING,
AND I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED.
MAJOR INLAND STORM SURGE IS 
CERTAINLY LIKELY.
I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOME 
GOOD NEWS IN THE U.S. HAPPENING 
TODAY AND TAKE YOU TO 
CALIFORNIA.
LATEST PICTURES COMING OUT OF 
THAT LIGHTNING COMPLEX FIRE 
WHERE FIRE OFFICIALS HAVE GOT A 
BIT OF A HANDLE ON THE SITUATION
TODAY.
MOST OF THE FIRES ARE FIGHTING 
ABOUT 25% CONTAINED.
THE LIGHTNING COMPLEX FIRE HAS 
GROWN TO ABOUT 63,000 ACRES.
SO IT CONTINUES TO EXPLODE.
THAT ONE IS 5% CONTAINED.
BUT COOLER OVERNIGHT LOWS, 
SOMETHING WE HAVE BEEN SEEING 
HERE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, HAS 
HELPED FIREFIGHTERS WITH THE 
WILDFIRES AND WE'RE HOPING FOR 
CONTINUED WEATHER LIKE THIS, AND
LITTLE LIGHTNING STRIKES, WHICH 
WAS THE BIG CAUSE OF ALL OF 
THOSE FIRES.
SO SOME GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS 
TONIGHT ON THE U.S. WEATHER 
FRONT. 
>> Mike:  LOTS GOING ON DOWN 
THERE, BEEN BOTH SIDES OF THE 
COUNTRY FOR CERTAIN.
WHAT SHOULD WE BE WATCHING FOR 
IN OUR NECK OF THE WOODS?
>> Johanna:  WELL, WE HAVE GOT A
NICE LITTLE BREEZE GOING ON HERE
AND THOSE MORNING TEMPERATURES 
REALLY WERE REFRESHING.
IT'S HARD TO PLEASE EVERYONE IN 
A FORECAST.
I HAVE GOT TO SAY THAT.
BUT THIS KIND OF WEATHER GETS 
MOST PEOPLE, I THINK.
COOLER OVERNIGHT.
NICE LITTLE BREEZE BUT WARM AND 
SUNNY AFTERNOON.
THE SATELLITE AND RADAR ACROSS 
BRITISH COLUMBIA.
WE DO HAVE A DIFFERENT STORY IN 
THE NORTHWEST OF THE PROVINCE, 
WHERE SHOWERS AND CLOUD CONTINUE
TO MOVE IN, BUT FOR MOST OF BC, 
THIS IS A SUNNY AND SEASONAL 
WEEK AHEAD.
TAKING THROUGH THE SYSTEM'S 
FORECAST, JUST A FEW SHOWERS 
POPPING UP IN PRINCE GEORGE 
TONIGHT AND TOMORROW MORNING, 
BUT LOOK AT THAT, MOST OF 
SOUTHERN BC CLEAR AND WE GET TO 
KEEP THOSE COOLER OVERNIGHTS.
SO WE DON'T SEE EXPLOSIVE FIRE 
BEHAVIOUR, EXCEPT FOR THE -- THE
EXCEPTION IS THE SOUTHEAST, THE 
KOOTENAYS ARE STILL DEALING WITH
SOME VERY WARM TEMPERATURES.
BUT LOOK AT THIS.
TEMPERATURES IN THE NORTH AT OR 
BELOW SEASONAL.
OVERNIGHT LOWS OVER THE NEXT 
COUPLE OF DAYS IN THE NORTH WILL
BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS.
AND SIMILAR STORY IN THE SOUTH 
AS WELL.
OUR OVERNIGHT LOWS BELOW 
SEASONAL, GETTING DOWN AROUND 
11, 12s FOR THE OKANAGAN.
STILL 30 IN OSOYOOS FOR TOMORROW
AND THURSDAY, VERY SIMILAR 
TEMPERATURES FOR THE WEEK AHEAD.
IN FACT, VERY SIMILAR WEATHER 
CONDITIONS FOR MOST OF THE 
PROVINCE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
HERE IN VANCOUVER, SLIGHT CHANCE
OF MORNING FOG OR LOWER CLOUD.
I THINK THAT WILL BURN OFF QUITE
QUICKLY, BACK UP TO 21.
SLIGHT BUMP IN TEMPERATURE 
THURSDAY, FRIDAY, BUT DECENT 
OVERNIGHT LOWS.
LOTS OF SUNSHINE.
STILL WATCHING FOR A POSSIBILITY
AND A BIT OF A WIND EVENT ON 
SATURDAY.
TIMING, SOME UNCERTAINTY AROUND 
THAT AND IT DOESN'T COME WITH A 
LOT OF PRECIPITATION AT THIS 
POINT.
I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THE 
ALL-IMPORTANT WEEKEND FORECAST.
ONLY A FEW LEFT OF SUMMER.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I SAID THAT.
BUT IT'S TRUE.
[ Laughter ]
>> Mike:  YOU SAID IT.
LOOKING GOOD.
THANKS, JO.
>>> THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY IS 
SWITCHING TO A NEW COMBAT NG 
UNIFORM, AND THE ENTIRE CREW OF 
HMCS HARRY de WOLF IS TESTING 
THEM. 
>> Lien:  THE CONSENSUS SEEMS TO
BE THEY ARE A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT.
>> Reporter:  HMCS HARRY de WOLF
IS A BRAND-NEW SHIP, SO IT'S 
FITTING THE SAILORS WOULD BE IN 
BRAND-NEW UNIFORMS. 
>> NOW I HAVE THE NEW UNIFORM, I
CLEARLY SEE THE DEFECTS WE HAD 
WITH THE PREVIOUS UNIFORMS.
TIME FOR AN UPDATE. 
>> Reporter:  THE LAST UNIFORMS 
WENT LARGELY UNCHANGED FOR 
DECADES, AND THEY WERE LOOKING A
LITTLE TIRED.
BUT THE NEW VERSION IS DRAWING 
POSITIVE REVIEWS.
>> THIS ONE GETS A BIT WARM BUT 
HONESTLY IT'S -- THE -- IT LOOKS
A BIT SNAZIER, SO WE GET TO KIND
OF LOOK COOL WALKING AROUND THE 
DOCKYARD. 
>> IT'S FLASHY, RIGHT?
EYE-CATCHING.
I LOVE IT. 
>> Reporter:  LOOKS ARE ONLY ONE
CRITERIA.
THE GARMENTS ALSO NEED TO RESIST
FLAMES IF A FIRE WERE TO BREAK 
OUT ON BOARD. 
>> HELP YOU ESCAPE WITH LESS 
MELTING OF YOUR MATERIAL ON YOUR
UNIFORM. 
>> Reporter:  THE UNIFORM IS 
MODELLED ON MODERN UNIFORMS OF 
SEVERAL NATO ALLIES.
ATS A TWO-PIECE OUTFIT MADE TO 
BE WORN UNTUCKED. 
>> YOU HAVE TO RETUCK IT IN A 
LOT.
SO IT'S A LOT OF USE LIKE THIS. 
>> Reporter:  THE POCKETS ARE 
POPULAR TOONKTS STUFF IN HERE.
STUFF IN HERE.
THE PANTS' POCKETS ARE ACTUALLY 
IN CONVENIENT LOCATIONS.
SO I'LL -- ALL IN ALL, IT'S A 
MUCH BETTER, SLEEKER, NICER 
UNIFORM.
AND IT'S A MUCH BETTER FIT THAN 
THE OLD ONE.
THE OLD ONE KIND OF -- I DON'T 
KNOW.
I WOULD SAY IT DID ITS JOB BUT 
DOESN'T LOOK AS GOOD. 
>> A HUGE MORALE PIECE.
NEW PEOPLE COMING IN WHO DON'T 
HAVE THE UNIFORM YET.
THE FIRST QUESTION, HOW DO I GET
THE NEW UNIFORM 'CAUSE THEY WANT
TO LOOK LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
NO PROBLEMS.
JUST NOT THERE YET. 
>> Reporter:  THE NEW UNIFORM 
DESIGN SHOULD BE FINALIZED BY 
THE END OF THIS YEAR WITH AN 
INITIAL ROLLOUT EARLY IN 2021.
HOWEVER, IT WILL TAKE UP TO FOUR
YEARS FOR EVERYBODY IN THE ROYAL
CANADIAN NAVY TO RECEIVE A NEW 
UNIFORM.
