>> Adrienne: GOOD EVENING, I'M 
ADRIENNE ARSENAULT. 
>> Andrew: AND I'M ANDREW CHANG.
AIR CANADA SUSPENDS 30 ROUTES 
AND LEAVES EIGHT CANADIAN 
AIRNTS.
>> IT'S A REAL STEP BACKWARDS IN
TERMS OF CONNECTING OUR REGIONS 
TO THE WORLD. 
>> Andrew: WHAT IT MEANS FOR 
FOLKS FROM ATLANTIC CANADA TO 
THE PRAIRIES.
>>> AT THE END OF THE DAY WE ARE
PROTECTING EACH OTHER HERE.
>> Adrienne: NEW RULES, 
FOR MOST ONTARIO RESIDENTS.
MANDATORY MASK WEARING IN INDOOR
PUBLIC SPACES.
>>> IT'S NO CRYSTAL BALL THAT 
SAYS THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A 
PANDEMIC.
>> Andrew: ATTACHING THE RISK OF
A NEW STRAIN OF FLU.
>> Adrienne: AND JOHN BOLTON 
TALKS TO US ABOUT MENG WANZHOU, 
CHINA AND THE TWO MICHAELS.
>> OBVIOUSLY THEY WERE PICKING 
ON CANADA RATHER THAN ARRESTING 
AMERICAN CITIZENS.
>> Adrienne: WHY HE SIGNED ON 
WITH TRUMP AND WHY HE BAILED.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
*
BALM 51
*
>>> AFTER MONTHS OF FINANCIAL 
DEVASTATION TO CANADA'S AIRLINE 
INDUSTRY, COVID-19 LANDED 
ANOTHER HARD BLOW TODAY.
>> Andrew: AIR CANADA IS 
SCRAPPING INDEFINITELY 30 ROUTES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND IT IS 
SHUTTING DOWN OPERATIONS IN AT 
LEAST EIGHT REGIONAL AIRPORTS.
NOW TO ATLANTIC CANADA, 14 
ROUTES ARE BEING ABANDONED, 
ALONG WITH TWO AIR CANADA 
STATIONS.
QUEBEC LOSES EIGHT ROUTES AND 
FOUR REGIONAL STATIONS.
IN ONTARIO, FOUR ROUTES 
SUSPENDED, STATIONS CLOSED AT 
TWO AIRPORTS, AND FINALLY 
SASKATCHEWAN AND MANITOBA LOSE 
FOUR ROUTES, INCLUDING FLIGHTS 
TO OTTAWA.
NOW TOTAL LOSSES APPROACHING $2 
BILLION, AIR CANADA SAYS IT 
SIMPLY CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP 
THOSE PLANES IN THE AIR, BUT AS 
CAMERON MacINTOSH EXPLAINS, THE 
CUTS HAVE BIG CONSEQUENCES FOR 
THOSE ON THE GROUND.
>> Reporter: THEY MAY BE SOME OF
AIR CANADA'S LOWEST-VOLUME, 
LOWEST-PROFIT ROUTES, BUT TO 
PEOPLE WHO RELY ON THEM, THEY 
MATTER.
SO WHEN CHARLOTTETOWN LOSES 
SERVICE TO HALIFAX, THE WORLD 
GETS SMALLER. 
>> IT'S CLOSE TO 10% OF OUR 
TRAFFIC GOES THROUGH THAT ROUTE.
>> Reporter: OR MORE ISOLATED, 
PLACES LIKE VAL-D'OR, QUEBEC, OR
NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR'S DEER
LAKE.
>> YOU KNOW, SO IT'S 14 ROUTES 
WITHIN OUR REGION, AND 12 OF 
THOSE ARE WHAT WE WOULD CALL 
INTERREGIONAL.
IT'S A REAL STEP BACKWARDS IN 
TERMS OF CONNECTING OUR REGIONS 
TO THE WORLD, AND WE'RE JUST 
DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THAT.
>> Reporter: AIR CANADA SAYS 
IT'S LOST MORE THAN A BILLION 
DOLLARS IN THE FIRST QUARTER.
IT'S ALREADY LAID OFF 20,000 
STAFF AND SIDELINED 79 AIRCRAFT.
>> THIS IS I'M SURE NOT THE END 
OF IT. 
>> Reporter: THIS ANALYST SAYS
HE EXPECTED THE CUTS SOONER, 
THINKS AIRLINES WILL CHASE MORE 
PROFITABLE ROUTES AS TRAVEL 
RESUMES. 
>> BUT I THINK FARES WILL GO UP 
QUITE A BIT WHEN THEY START 
COMING AGAIN.
>> Reporter: HE EXPECTS 
COMPETITORS LIKE WESTJET WILL BE
MAKING SIMILAR MOVES.
IN WINDSOR, ONTARIO, WHICH IS 
LOSING ITS AIR CANADA FLIGHT TO 
MONTREAL, THE MAYOR SUSPECTS HIS
AIRPORT WILL SEE MORE CUTS. 
>> I IMAGINE THAT THERE WILL BE 
A LOT OF FOLKS THAT AREN'T 
COMFORTABLE FLYING FOR THE REST 
OF THIS YEAR, AND THAT THEY WILL
HAVE TO ADJUST AND ADAPT, LIKE 
EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING.
>> Reporter: MEANWHILE, AIR 
CANADA'S MOVES CUTTING OFF MANY 
COMMUNITIES IN QUEBEC AND 
ATLANTIC CANADA COULD PUT 
PRESSURE ON OTTAWA TO HELP OUT 
THE AIRLINE.
>> SO NO DOUBT CUTTING THOSE 
ROUTES MIGHT HAVE BEEN PART OF 
THE CALCULUS, BUT I SUSPECT IT 
WAS REALLY JUST MORE COST, 
REALLY, THAN POLITICS, PER SE. 
>> Reporter: AS AIRLINES SUFFER,
SO DOES THE REST OF THE TRAVEL 
INDUSTRY.
BACK AT THE CHARLOTTETOWN 
AIRPORT. 
>> I THINK IT REALLY JUST 
UNDERSCORES, YOU KNOW, THE 
SEVERITY OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN 
OUR INDUSTRY. 
>> Reporter: AIR CANADA ITSELF 
SAYS IT MAY NOT BE DONE YET.
IT COULD BE YEARS BEFORE IT 
PULLS ITSELF OUT OF ITS PANDEMIC
NOSE DIVE.
CAMERON MacINTOSH, CBC NEWS, 
WINNIPEG.
>> Adrienne: OF COURSE 
BUSINESSES BIG AND SMALL HAVE 
BEEN HIT VERY HARD THE PAST FEW 
MONTHS, BUT NEW NUMBERS SUGGEST 
THE WORST MAY BE OVER.
HAVE A LOOK.
MARCH WAS ROUGH AS THE ECONOMY 
DROPPED BY 7.5%, BUT ROCK BOTTOM
CAME IN APRIL, DOWN A WHOPPING 
11.6% WITH EVERY SECTOR TAKING A
HIT.
BY THAT MONTH'S END, THE 
CANADIAN ECONOMY HAD SHED ALMOST
ONE FIFTH OF ITS OUTPUT.
WE DON'T HAVE MAY'S FINAL 
FIGURES YET, BUT STATSCAN'S 
EARLY ESTIMATES IS THAT GDP UP 
3% FROM THOSE DEEP DEPTHS.
SO EVEN A FRAGILE ECONOMIC 
RECOVERY DEPENDS ON KEEPING 
COVID NUMBERS DOWN.
WITH MASKS NOW WIDELY CONSIDERED
AMONG THE BEST WEAPONS IN THAT 
FIGHT.
IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS LOOKS AT THE 
DRIVE TO MAKE THEM MANDATORY 
ACROSS CANADA'S BIGGEST 
METROPOLITAN REGION.
>> THURSDAY THEY WILL BE 
MANDATORY.
>> Reporter: IN TORONTO'S 
TRANSIT SYSTEM, MASKS WILL SOON 
BE A NEW REALITY.
HERE AND IN EVERY ENCLOSED SPACE
IN THE CITY. 
>> WE KNOW WE ARE AT A CRITICAL 
TIME IN THE FIGHT AGAINST 
COVID-19.
AND THAT WE MUST DO EVERYTHING 
WE CAN TO AVOID THE FLARE-UPS 
THAT WE HAVE SEEN IN OTHER 
PLACES.
>> Reporter: ACROSS THE GREATER 
TORONTO AREA, ONE MAYOR AFTER 
ANOTHER IS MAKING MASKS 
MANDATORY IN INDOOR PUBLIC 
PLACES, OR PLANNING TO.
IN MARKHAM, AT A DRIVE-IN MOVIE 
EVENT. 
>> GREAT TO SEE SO MANY OF YOU 
OUT HERE. 
>> Reporter: MAYOR FRANK 
SCARPITTI SAYS SAFE DISTANCING 
IS ONE RULE.
MASKS SHOULD BE ANOTHER.
>> DO WE SAY THAT SEAT BELTS ARE
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED?
I MEAN, AT THE END OF THE DAY WE
ARE PROTECTING EACH OTHER HERE.
>> Reporter: THE GROWING 
EVIDENCE THAT MASKS CAN PROTECT 
FROM TRANSMITTING AND CATCHING 
THE VIRUS IS PROOF HERE.
AFTER DOZENS OF STAFF GOT 
INFECTED, LONGO'S ENFORCED A 
MASK POLICY FOR EVERYONE IN ITS 
GROCERY STORES TWO MONTHS AGO.
>> WE THINK THAT WEARING A MASK 
OF TEAM MEMBERS AND CUSTOMERS 
HAS MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN 
THAT, SO WE'RE NOT GETTING THE 
TRANSMISSION WITHIN THE STORE.
SO WE'RE REALLY HAPPY THAT WE 
MADE THAT DECISION.
>> Reporter: AND WHILE THAT 
DECISION WILL BECOME LAW IN MORE
PLACES, MOST PROVINCES, 
INCLUDING ONTARIO, AREN'T 
CALLING FOR A BLANKET POLICY.
BUT AS RESTRICTIONS EASE AND 
WITH A SECOND WAVE ON THE 
HORIZON, A GROWING CALL FROM 
MEDICAL EXPERTS THAT A 
RECOMMENDATION ALONE IS NOT 
ENOUGH.
>> I THINK IF WE GIVE PEOPLE 
ADVICE ON WHEN IT'S RECOMMENDED 
AND WHEN YOU COULD OR YOU 
SHOULD, IT STILL LEAVES IT VERY 
MUCH OPEN TO JUDGMENT, AND IT'S 
A BIT WISHY-WASHY.
AND WHAT WE NEED NOW IS CLARITY 
AS TO WHAT WE'RE EXPECTED TO DO.
>> Reporter: FROM SUBWAYS TO 
SHOPS, OFFICIALS ARE RELYING ON 
COMPLIANCE RATHER THAN 
ENFORCEMENT.
WITH THE EXPECTATION THE CLEARER
THE RULES THE MORE LIKELY PEOPLE
WILL FOLLOW THEM.
IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: AND MASKS WILL SOON
BE MANDATORY ON ALL PUBLIC 
TRANSIT ROUTES IN QUEBEC.
UNTIL NOW, QUEBEC HAD PREFERRED 
TO STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT 
RIDERS USE MASKS OR FACE 
COVERINGS.
EFFECTIVE JULY 27, ANYONE OVER 
THE AGE OF 12 MUST WEAR ONE.
>> Andrew: OTTAWA HAS EXTENDED 
THE TRAVEL BAN ON MOST FOREIGN 
VISITORS ENTERING THE COUNTRY.
THE ORDER WILL NOW STRETCH UNTIL
AT LEAST THE END OF JULY.
IT BANS TRAVELLERS WHO AREN'T 
EITHER CANADIAN CITIZENS, 
PERMANENT RESIDENTS OR PEOPLE 
ENTERING FROM THE U.S. FOR 
ESSENTIAL REASONS.
A SEPARATE ORDER PROHIBITING 
NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL BETWEEN 
CANADA AND THE U.S. STILL IN 
EFFECT UNTIL JULY 21.
>>> AND BEGINNING JULY 1, 
CANADIANS CAN TRAVEL TO THE E.U.
IN A BID TO BOOST MUCH-NEEDED 
TOURISM, THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL 
TODAY APPROVED A LIST OF 15 SAFE
COUNTRIES, CANADA AMONG THEM, 
CONSIDERED TO HAVE CONTAINED 
COVID-19.
BUT BECAUSE OF SOARING INFECTION
RATES, THE U.S. IS NOT ON THAT 
LIST.
AND SO A DIRE WARNING TODAY FROM
THE TOP INFECTIOUS DISEASES 
EXPERT IN THE UNITED STATES.
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI SAYS THE 
NUMBER OF NEW CORONAVIRUS CASES 
COULD MORE THAN DOUBLE IF 
AMERICANS DON'T CHANGE THEIR 
BEHAVIOUR.
AS IT IS, THE RECENT SURGE IN 
CASES MEANS ABOUT 40,000 PEOPLE 
ARE GETTING SICK EVERY DAY IN 
THE U.S. 
DR. FAUCI IS CONCERNED THAT 
NUMBER OF NEW DAILY INFECTIONS 
COULD GET AS HIGH AS 100,000.
THE CBC'S PAUL HUNTER HAS MORE 
FROM WASHINGTON.
>> Reporter: EVEN AS COVID 
INFECTIONS IN THE U.S. NOW 
SURGE, PRESSURE TO EASE UP ON 
RULES AIMED AT FIGHTING THE 
PANDEMIC GROWS.
>> OUR BILLS ARE DUE.
OUR RENT IS DUE.
OUR CAR BILLS ARE DUE. 
>> Reporter: TEXAS, LIKE OTHER 
STATES, THAT HAD BEEN REOPENING 
BUSINESSES, IS NOW SEEING A 
COVID SPIKE, SETTING ANOTHER 
INFECTION RECORD TODAY, AND IT'S
CLAMPING DOWN AGAIN.
FLORIDA'S HOME TO ITS OWN 
INFECTION SURGE, WITH FEARS THIS
COMING HOLIDAY WEEKEND THAT 
CROWDS AT THOSE BEACHES STAYING 
OPEN COULD SUPER CHARGE THE 
SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. 
>> WE'RE GOING IN THE WRONG 
DIRECTION. 
>> Reporter: DR. ANTHONY FAUCI, 
LEAD SCIENTIST IN AMERICA'S 
BATTLE AGAINST COVID, TODAY ON 
CAPITOL HILL WITH A SOBERING 
PREDICTION ABOUT THIS COUNTRY'S 
RATE OF INFECTION.
>> WE ARE NOW HAVING 40 PLUS 
THOUSAND NEW CASES A DAY.
I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF WE 
GO UP TO 100,000 A DAY IF THIS 
DOES NOT TURN AROUND, AND SO I 
AM VERY CONCERNED.
>> IT DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THIS 
WAY.
>> Reporter: IN DELAWARE TODAY, 
JOE BIDEN SLAMMED THE WHITE 
HOUSE FOR ITS COVID RESPONSE AND
WHAT HE CALLED THE PRESIDENT'S 
HISTORIC MISMANAGEMENT.
>> MONTH AFTER MONTH, AS OTHER 
LEADERS IN OTHER COUNTRIES TOOK 
THE NECESSARY STEPS TO GET THE 
VIRUS UNDER CONTROL, DONALD 
TRUMP FAILED US.
>> Reporter: IN RETURN, THE 
TRUMP CAMPAIGN CALLED BIDEN A 
FEARMONGER, THOUGH AT THE SAME 
TIME IT CANCELLED A PLANNED 
RALLY BY TRUMP THIS WEEKEND IN 
ALABAMA, CITING COVID.
AS MEDICAL EXPERTS EFFECTIVELY 
PLEADED WITH AMERICANS TO WEAR A
MASK, AND ESPECIALLY TO STEER 
CLEAR OF CROWDS.
>> THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF 
HURT IF THAT DOES NOT STOP. 
>> Reporter: FAUCI HINTED AT 
PROGRESS TOWARD A VACCINE, BUT 
HE EMPHASIZED THERE ARE STILL NO
GUARANTEES, AND AS THOSE 
INFECTIONS GROW, SAID FAUCI, THE
ENTIRE COUNTRY IS AT RISK.
PAUL HUNTER, CBC NEWS, 
WASHINGTON.
>> Adrienne: DONALD TRUMP HAS 
BOASTED NO ONE HAS DONE MORE FOR
THE U.S. MILITARY, BUT AFTER 
REPORTS THAT RUSSIA MAY HAVE 
PAID MILITANTS TO HUNT AND KILL 
COALITION SOLDIERS IN 
AFGHANISTAN, INCLUDING 
AMERICANS, TRUMP IS TAKING FIRE 
FOR DOING NOTHING.
AND KATIE SIMPSON EXPLAINS, FOR 
CRITICS, THE WHITE HOUSE 
RESPONSE ONTARIO REASSURING.
>> THE PRESIDENT WAS NEVER 
BRIEFED ON THIS, ON THIS 
INTELLIGENCE STILL HAS NOT BEEN 
VERIFIED, AND THERE'S NO 
CONSENSUS AMONG THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY.
>> Reporter: REPEATED DENIALS 
FROM THE WHITE HOUSE ARE 
SATISFYING FEW IN WASHINGTON.
EVEN SOME OF THE PRESIDENT'S 
ALLIES ARE OPENLY QUESTIONING 
HOW THE ADMINISTRATION HANDLED 
THE ALLEGED RUSSIAN BOUNTY PLOT.
>> IF I WAS PRESIDENT, I 
ABSOLUTELY WOULD WANT TO KNOW.
IF I WAS BRIEFING THE PRESIDENT,
I WOULD PROBABLY BRIEF HIM TO 
THAT EXTENT.
>> Reporter: SOME U.S. 
INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS BELIEVE 
RUSSIA PAID TALIBAN FIGHTERS TO 
KILL AMERICAN AND COALITION 
SOLDIERS IN AFGHANISTAN.
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" SAYS IT WAS
CONCERN ENOUGH TO BE INCLUDED IN
ONE OF DONALD TRUMP'S DAILY 
WRITTEN INTELLIGENCE BRIEFINGS 
IN LATE FEBRUARY.
BUT TRUMP'S DENIAL OF KNOWING 
ANYTHING ABOUT IT, AMID REPORTS 
HE DOESN'T READ HIS BRIEFINGS, 
HAS DEMOCRATS AGAIN SAYING HE'S 
UNFIT FOR OFFICE.
>> THE IDEA THAT SOMEHOW HE 
DIDN'T KNOW OR ISN'T BEING 
BRIEFED IS A DERELICTION OF DUTY
IF THAT'S THE CASE.
AND IF HE WAS BRIEFED AND 
NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT THIS, 
THAT'S A DERELICTION OF DUTY.
>> IT'S CREDIBLE THE PRESIDENT 
WOULDN'T KNOW A LOT OF THINGS. 
>> Reporter: IN AN INTERVIEW 
WITH ADRIENNE ARSENAULT, JOHN 
BOLTON SAYS THE PRESIDENT IS NOT
DETAIL ORIENTED. 
>> I DON'T THINK IT'S A WAY THE 
PRESIDENT SHOULD BEHAVE IN 
IMPORTANT INTERNATIONAL 
GEOSTRATEGIC AFFAIRS, BUT THAT'S
THE WAY HE DOES THINGS.
>> Reporter: THE WHITE HOUSE 
ISN'T SAYING WHETHER TRUMP READ 
THAT SPECIFIC BRIEFING BUT 
INSISTS HE'S DOING HIS JOB. 
>> THE PRESIDENT DOES READ, AND 
HE ALSO CONSUMES INTELLIGENCE 
VERBALLY.
THIS PRESIDENT, I'LL TELL YOU, 
IS THE MOST INFORMED PERSON ON 
PLANET EARTH WHEN IT COMES TO 
THE THREATS THAT WE FACE.
>> Reporter: IF THE ALLEGATIONS 
ARE PROVEN TO BE TRUE, SOME 
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ARE
URGING THE WHITE HOUSE TO TAKE 
NEW ACTION AGAINST RUSSIA.
KATIE SIMPSON, CBC NEWS, 
WASHINGTON.
>> Adrienne: THERE IS MORE ABOUT
TRUMP'S FITNESS FOR OFFICE AND 
ABOUT HOW CANADA'S TROUBLES WITH
CHINA PLAY INTO HIS CALCULUS 
FROM SOMEONE WHO SAW HIM IN 
ACTION.
MY FULL INTERVIEW WITH JOHN 
BOLTON IS COMING UP IN ABOUT 20 
MINUTES.
>> Andrew: DONALD TRUMP MAY NOT 
BE KNOWN FOR CRITICIZING THE 
KREMLIN, BUT ON THE EVE OF A 
REFERENDUM THAT WOULD ALLOW 
VLADIMIR PUTIN TO REMAIN 
AS PRESIDENT UNTIL 2036 AND BAN 
GAY MARRIAGE, CANADA HAS VOICED 
CONCERNS.
BUT AS CHRIS BROWN EXPLAIN, THAT
DIDN'T GO OVER WELL IN MOSCOW.
>> Reporter: INSULTS AND 
OVER-THE-TOP OUTRAGE IS STANDARD
FOR RUSSIA STATE TV TALK SHOWS, 
BUT THIS EPISODE WAS ESPECIALLY 
FEROCIOUS, WITH THE TARGET, 
CANADA'S AMBASSADOR TO MOSCOW.
>> WE DON'T CARE.
>> Reporter: PEOPLE LIKE HER 
WILL BE BANISHED TO HELL WHERE 
THEY WILL BURN ETERNALLY, 
SCREAMED THE DEPUTY SPEAKER OF 
RUSSIA'S PARLIAMENT.
AMBASSADOR ALISON LECLAIRE FLEW 
A RAINBOW FLAG OUTSIDE OF 
CANADA'S EMBASSY AND POSTED THIS
VIDEO TO MARK JUNE AS PRIDE 
MONTH, BUT SHE ALSO INCLUDED A 
COMMENT ON RUSSIA'S 
ABOUT-TO-BE-ADOPTED BAN ON GAY 
MARRIAGE. 
>> AND PROPOSALS FOR 
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS THAT 
IF ADOPTED WOULD LEAD TO AN 
INCREASINGLY LESS-INCLUSIVE 
NATIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORK.
>>[SPEAKING RUSSIAN].
>> Reporter: AND SHE GIVES 
DIRECTIONS ON VOTING, SAID THE 
KREMLIN'S JOURNAL EDITOR.
THAT'S NOT THE ROLE OF A 
DIPLOMAT.
SHE SHOULD BE REPRIMANDED.
>> Reporter: THE AMENDMENTS 
WOULD ALLOW VLADIMIR PUTIN TO 
REMAIN AS PRESIDENT, PRACTICALLY
UNTIL HE DIES.
BUT THEY WILL ALSO ENTRENCH 
SO-CALLED TRADITIONAL, 
CONSERVATIVE VALUES INTO THE 
CONSTITUTION.
>>[ SPEAKING ALTERNATE LANGUAGE 
>> Reporter: I WILL REPEAT IT 
AGAIN, WHILE I'M PRESIDENT, WE 
WILL NOT HAVE PARENT NUMBER ONE 
AND PARENT NUMBER TWO, SAID 
PUTIN.
IT WILL BE MOM AND DAD.
AT ST. PETERSBURG'S RAINBOW 
CAFÉ, THIS PERSON AND HER 
PARTNER SAY WHILE A GROWING 
NUMBER OF RUSSIANS BELIEVE GAY 
PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS,
IT STILL FEELS LIKE THEY ARE 
DECADES AWAY FROM BEING 
COMPLETELY ACCEPTED.
>> [SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
>> Reporter: THIS WILL TAKE US 
BACK TO THE 16TH CENTURY IS HOW 
I SEE IT.
THERE'S PRACTICALLY NO DOUBT THE
KREMLIN WILL GET ITS WAY WHEN 
THE VOTES ARE COUNTED WEDNESDAY.
COPIES OF THE NEW CONSTITUTION 
HAVE ALREADY BEEN PUBLISHED.
CHRIS BROWN, CBC NEWS, 
VANCOUVER.
>> Andrew: IN HONG KONG, 
PRO-DEMOCRACY ACTIVISTS 
PROTESTED AFTER CHINA PASSED NEW
NATIONAL SECURITY LEGISLATION 
TODAY.
IT GIVES BEIJING SWEEPING NOW 
-- NEW POWERS AND HAS LED TO 
WIDESPREAD INTERNATIONAL 
CONDEMNATION.
MORE THAN 300,000 CANADIANS LIVE
IN HONG KONG.
>> Adrienne: AND FACEBOOK SAYS 
IT HAS AGREED TO AN AUDIT OF HOW
IT CONTROLS HATE SPEECH.
THIS PROMISE COMES AFTER MAJOR 
ADVERTISERS SAID THEY WOULD 
PAUSE THEIR FACEBOOK ADS TO 
PRESSURE THE COMPANY TO DO MORE 
TO TAKE HATE SPEECH DOWN.
THE SCOPE AND TIMING OF THE 
AUDIT ARE STILL BEING FINALIZED.
THE SOCIAL MEDIA GIANT ALSO 
BANNED HUNDREDS OF ACCOUNTS, 
GROUPS AND PAGES TODAY 
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SO-CALLED 
BOOGALOO MOVEMENT.
THAT'S A LOOSELY ORGANIZED 
NETWORK CONSIDERED EXTREMIST AND
VIOLENT IN THE UNITED STATES.
AS THOMAS DAIGLE SHOWS US, IT 
HAS A PRESENCE IN CANADA AS 
WELL.
>> MY NAME IS THE LAW.
>> Reporter: HAWAIIAN SHIRTS AND
GUNS, TWO SIGNATURES OF THE 
SO-CALLED BOOGALOO BOYS.
>> WE JUST DO A LITTLE YOINK AND
THEN PULL THIS OUT. 
>> Reporter: ORGANIZED ONLINE, 
THE MOVEMENT MOSTLY STAYED OUT 
OF SIGHT UNTIL SUPPORTERS 
STARTED SHOWING UP HEAVILY ARMED
AT U.S. ANTI-LOCKDOWN PROTESTS 
AND BLACK LIVES MATTER 
DEMONSTRATIONS.
THEY STAND FOR GUN RIGHTS AND 
KEEP PREPARING FOR AN 
ANTI-GOVERNMENT UPRISING.
>> IT'S REALLY EASY TO LOOK AT 
SOMEBODY IN A HAWAIIAN SHIRT AND
THINK THIS IS SILLY, THIS IS NOT
REALLY A THREAT.
THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO BRING 
ABOUT A CIVIL WAR.
THIS IS NOT FUNNY.
>> Reporter: NOW CBC NEWS HAS 
FOUND BOOGALOO SUPPORT IS 
SPREADING INTO CANADA, WITH TWO 
FACEBOOK GROUPS AND HUNDREDS OF 
MEMBERS.
THIS ONE TAKEN DOWN AFTER CBC 
BROUGHT IT TO FACEBOOK'S 
ATTENTION.
A USER IN ANOTHER GROUP SHARING 
THE IMAGE OF A RIFLE WITH A 
GRENADE LAUNCHER DUBBED "A GUN 
DESIGNED FOR ENDING THE CANADIAN
MENACE." 
>> THE FEAR IS THAT THEY NOW 
TAKE A PAGE FROM THE BOOK OF 
THEIR AMERICAN COUNTERPARTS.
>> Reporter: THE ADMINISTRATOR 
OF THE FACEBOOK GROUP TELLS CBC 
HE RUNS THE PAGE FOR THE MEMES 
AND HUMOUR.
BUT CONSIDER AFTER TWO OFFICERS 
WERE KILLED IN CALIFORNIA 
AUTHORITIES SAY THEY FOUND THIS 
BOOGALOO PATCH BELONGING TO THE 
ALLEGED SHOOTER.
IN NEVADA, THREE SUPPORTERS WERE
ARRESTED, ACCUSED OF PLANNING A 
FIRE BOMB ATTACK. 
>> GOVERNMENTS SHOULD BE 
CONCERNED BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, 
THESE DAYS THERE'S -- YOU KNOW, 
PEOPLE NEED VERY LITTLE TO DO A 
WHOLE LOT OF DAMAGE.
>> Reporter: MEMBERS OF THOSE 
CANADIAN GROUPS APPEARED 
ESPECIALLY ENRAGED WHEN THE 
GOVERNMENT FURTHER RESTRICTED 
GUN OWNERSHIP.
FOR NOW THEY HAVEN'T MOVED TO 
ANY REAL-WORLD VIOLENCE HERE, 
BUT ONLINE THREATS DON'T ALWAYS 
REMAIN VIRTUAL.

>> Andrew: AN EDMONTON MAN IS 
BACK IN CUSTODY TONIGHT AFTER 
PEOPLE SPENT NEARLY TWO WEEKS 
PROTESTING HIS RELEASE ON BAIL.
WADE STEEN IS ACCUSED OF 
SEXUALLY ASSAULTING AN 
8-YEAR-OLD, AND POLICE ALERTED 
THE PUBLIC TO HIS PRESENCE EVEN 
THOUGH HE HASN'T BEEN CONVICTED.
RAFFY BOUDJIKANIAN HAS THE 
RESULT.

YOU ARE.

WEEKS, ZACK GLADU HAS BEEN AMONG
THE PROTESTERS UPSET OVER WADE 
STEEN'S RELEASE. 
>> THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED US WAY 
TOO MANY TIMES. 
>> Reporter: STEEN WAS ARRESTED,
THEN RELEASED ON BAIL AFTER HE 
WAS CHARGED WITH KIDNAPPING AND 
SEXUALLY ASSAULTING AN 
8-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
HE'D BEEN STAYING IN THE 
NEIGHBOURHOOD WHERE THE ALLEGED 
CRIME OCCURRED.
>> HE WAS IN A HOTEL ROOM WHERE 
IT WASN'T IN THE SAME AREA.
I DON'T THINK THERE WOULD BE AN 
ISSUE. 
>> Reporter: THEIR VIEWPOINT 
GAINED TRACTION ON SOCIAL MEDIA,
AND THEY CLAIMED SUPPORT FROM 
BEYOND CANADA'S BORDERS.
TODAY, A JUDGE REVOKED THE BAIL 
APPLICATION.
STEEN'S LAWYER SAYS HIS CLIENT 
IS RELIEVED TO RETURN TO 
CUSTODY. 
>> I ASK THAT THE PROTESTERS 
ESSENTIALLY BE DISBURSED.
I UNDERSTAND THAT HASN'T 
OCCURRED. 
>> Reporter: AND THEY MADE 
THEMSELVES HEARD THE MOMENT 
STEEN WAS ESCORTED OFF THE 
PREMISE.

TOO.
>> YOU THINK YOUR COMMUNITY'S 
SAFE.
YOU NEVER BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO 
HAPPEN TO YOU UNTIL IT DOES, AND
WHEN IT DOES, UMM, IT HITS YOU 
LIKE A ROCK.
>> Reporter: BUT POLICE EXPERTS 
WORRY TODAY'S EVENTS COULD BE 
SETTING A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.
>> WHAT STRUCK ME IS THE -- WHAT
I SEE AS THE EMBOLDENING OF 
VIGILANTEISM, AND I THINK A LOT 
OF THIS IS THE RESULT OF A 
SOCIAL MEDIA AND HOW QUICKLY 
STORIES ARE SPREAD.
ONE OF THE FOUNDATIONS IN 
CANADIAN JUSTICE SYSTEM IS THE 
FACT THAT SOMEONE IS PRESUMED 
INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. 
>> Reporter: LEAKED TONIGHT TO 
THE FAMILY OF STEEN'S ALLEGED 
VICTIM, EXPRESSED RELIEF AND 
GRATITUDE, SAYING IT LOOKS 
FORWARD TO A QUIETER 
NEIGHBOURHOOD WHILE IT WAITS FOR
FUTURE COURT PROCEEDINGS.
RAFFY BOUDJIKANIAN, CBC NEWS, 
EDMONTON.
>> Andrew: WELL, A NEW VIRUS IN 
CHINA HAS JUST MADE THE JUMP 
FROM ANIMALS TO HUMANS, AND 
SCIENTISTS SAY IT HAS PANDEMIC 
POTENTIAL.
>> THE QUESTION IS: ARE THERE 
ANY EVIDENCE OF HUMAN-TO-HUMAN 
TRANSMISSION.
>> Andrew: UP NEXT, THE GOOD 
NEWS.
WE'LL TAKE YOU THROUGH WHAT WE 
ACTUALLY KNOW AND WHAT 
SCIENTISTS COULD LEARN FROM IT.
>> Adrienne: AND AFTER LEAVING 
THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENED, JOHN
BOLTON SAT DOWN WITH ME.
>> PRESIDENT MISSES A LOT OF 
THINGS.
HE'S NOT, AS THEY SAY, A DETAIL 
PERSON.
>> Adrienne: WHAT HE SAW, WHY HE
LEFT, AND WHAT WAS BEING SAID IN
THE WHITE HOUSE ABOUT THE MENG 
WANZHOU EXTRADITION CASE.
>> THE PRESIDENT THINKS 
EVERYTHING IS NEGOTIABLE.
THAT'S PART OF THE PROBLEM.
>> Adrienne: MY INTERVIEW WITH 
DONALD TRUMP'S FORMER NATIONAL 
SECURITY ADVISER COMING UP.
WE'RE BACK IN TWO.
>> Andrew: THE LAST THING ANYONE
WANTS TO HEAR RIGHT NOW AS THE 
WORLD FIGHTS COVID-19 IS THAT 
THERE'S A NEW SWINE FLU OUT 
THERE THAT ALSO HAS PANDEMIC 
POTENTIAL, BUT AS CHRISTINE 
BIRAK TELLS US, WHILE THAT MAY 
BE TRUE, SCIENTISTS ARE TELLING 
-- SAYING THE VIRUS IS NOT AN 
IMMEDIATE THREAT.
>> Reporter: THE NEW FLU VIRUS 
LIVES IN PIGS.
IT'S BEING CALLED G4.
WHILE VIRUSES LIKE IT HAVE 
JUMPED FROM PIGS TO PEOPLE, MOST
DO NOT GO ON TO SPREAD BETWEEN 
PEOPLE.
BUT A NEW STUDY IS SUGGESTING 
THIS ONE COULD.
WHILE THERE'S NO IMMEDIATE 
THREAT, CHINESE SCIENTISTS SAY 
G4 HAS ALL THE ESSENTIAL 
HALLMARKS OF A CANDIDATE 
PANDEMIC VIRUS.
A FOLKSMAN FOR CHINA'S FOREIGN 
-- SPOKESMAN FOR CHINA'S FOREIGN
MINISTRY SAYS IT'S FOLLOWING 
DEVELOPMENTS AND WILL TAKE ALL 
NECESSARY MEASURES TO PREVENT
THE SPREAD AND OUTBREAK OF ANY 
VIRUS. 
>> THERE'S NO CRYSTAL BALL THAT 
SAYS THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A 
PANDEMIC.
YOU KNOW, I THINK WHAT'S REALLY 
IMPORTANT IS TO DO THIS KIND OF 
SURVEILLANCE.
>> Reporter: BETWEEN 2011 AND 
2018, CHINESE RESEARCHERS 
ANALYZED 30,000 NASAL SWABS FROM
PIGS AT SLAUGHTERHOUSES IN 10 
PROVINCES.
THEY FOUND NEARLY 200 SWINE FLU 
VIRUSES.
MOST OF THEM WERE G4.
RESEARCHERS ALSO FOUND FIVE 
POSSIBLE HUMAN CASES, NAMELY IN 
PIG FARMERS.
BUT IT'S STILL NOT CLEAR IF THE 
VIRUS MADE THEM SICK, AND . . .
>> WE'RE NEEDING EVIDENCE OF 
HUMAN-TO-HUMAN TRANSMISSION. 
>> Reporter: NOT YET, BUT THE 
GENETIC MAKEUP OF THE G4 VIRUS 
INCLUDES THE H1N1 STRAIN.
THAT LED TO THE SWINE FLU 
PANDEMIC IN 2009.
H1N1 HAS SINCE KILLED AS MANY AS
HALF A MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE,
AND IT'S STILL CIRCULATING.
>> WE KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO 
SEE ANOTHER INFLUENZA PANDEMIC 
SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE.
THAT'S GUARANTEED.
>> Reporter: UNLIKE THE CURRENT 
CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC, SCIENTISTS
DO UNDERSTAND A LOT MORE ABOUT 
FLU VIRUSES AND DEVELOPING 
VACCINES FOR THEM.
AND IT HELPS TO KNOW WHAT KIND 
OF THREATS MAY BE COMING DOWN 
THE ROAD.
>> THIS [INDISCERNIBLE] ONGOING 
SURVEILLANCE IF WE BEGIN TO 
UNDERSTAND, STUDY AND PREPARE 
OURSELVES.
>> Reporter: HE ADDS THE ONLY 
THING PREDICTABLE ABOUT FLU 
VIRUSES LIKE G4 IS THAT THEY ARE
UNPREDICTABLE.
CHRISTINE BIRAK, CBC NEWS,

RESTRICTIONS CONTINUE TO EASE 
ACROSS CANADA, ONE PROFESSION IS
REALLY HAD TO GO ABOVE AND 
BEYOND WHEN IT COMES TO FINDING 
A WAY TO REOPEN SAFELY, ALL TO 
KEEP YOUR TEETH CLEAN.
*
>> DENTISTS HAVE ALL KIND OF NEW
PRECAUTIONS THAT THEY NEED TO 
TAKE IN ORDER TO REOPEN, AND IT 
TURNS OUT PATIENTS HAVE NEW 
OBLIGATIONS AS WELL.
SO WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT?
WELL, BEFORE YOU GET YOUR TEETH 
CLEANED, YOU MAY ACTUALLY HAVE 
TO GET YOUR TEMPERATURE CHECKED.
YOU'LL ALSO HAVE TO ANSWER SOME 
BASIC QUESTIONS ABOUT POTENTIAL 
COVID SYMPTOMS YOU HAVE.
>> 35.9.
>> Andrew: OKAY, THANK YOU VERY 
MUCH.
YOU'LL HAVE TO WASH YOUR HANDS, 
WEAR A MASK AND, AS FOR THE 
WAITING ROOM, IT MAY BE 
OFF-LIMITS ALL TOGETHER.
>> WE JUST WANT TO ENSURE THAT 
PATIENTS DON'T CROSS PATHS AS 
THEY ARE COMING AND GOING, KEEP 
THEM AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE.
>> Andrew: THEN THERE'S THE 
APPOINTMENT ITSELF.
STAFF WILL BE WEARING EVEN MORE 
PROTECTIVE GEAR THAN THEY 
USUALLY DO.
>> SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IN ADDITION 
TO EYE PROTECTION, YOU MAY SEE 
THAT THE DENTIST AND DENTAL 
STAFF ARE ALSO WEARING FACE 
SHIELDS.
>> Andrew: NOW OBVIOUSLY ONCE 
YOU'RE IN, YOU CAN'T KEEP YOUR 
MASK ON, SO YOUR DENTIST MAY 
ACTUALLY ASK YOU TO USE A 
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE RINSE, JUST TO
PRE-CLEAN YOUR MOUTH.
THEN COME THE CHANGES YOU MAY 
NOT EVEN NOTICE.
>> SO WE'VE REALLY BEEFED UP THE
HVAC SYSTEM IN THE OFFICE TO 
PURIFY THE AIR AS MUCH AS 
POSSIBLE.
SO WHEN WE'RE DONE TREATING 
PATIENTS, WE HAVE TO CLOSE THE 
DOOR AND LET THE AIR BE PURIFIED
BEFORE WE CAN REOPEN THE DOOR, 
COME BACK IN TO DISINFECT AND 
STERILIZE THE ROOM AND GET IT 
READY FOR THE NEXT PATIENT.
>> Andrew: IF THE DENTIST 
DOESN'T HAVE A WAY OF 
CIRCULATING OR FILTERING THE 
AIR, THEN THEY'LL HAVE TO LEAVE 
THE ROOM EMPTY FOR THREE HOURS 
BETWEEN PATIENTS, DEPENDING ON 
THE PROCEDURE.
THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE SO MUCH
OF WHAT A DENTIST DOES IN YOUR 
MOUTH GENERATES AEROSOLS.
EVERYTHING FROM THIS WATER SPRAY
GUN TO HIGH-SPEED DRILLS TO THE 
ULTRASONIC SCALER THAT VIBRATES 
THE JUNK OFF YOUR TEETH, AND 
IT'S NOT LIKE THE DENTIST CAN 
KEEP PHYSICALLY DISTANCED FROM 
YOUR WIDE-OPEN MOUTH.
SO YES, A LOT OF THESE 
PROTECTIVE MEASURES IN PLACE ARE
TO PROTECT THE STAFF HERE, BUT 
THEORY ALSO HERE TO PROTECT YOU 
FROM THE OTHER PATIENTS WHO WERE
IN THE ROOM JUST BEFORE.
>> Adrienne: WHEN WE COME BACK, 
STEP INSIDE THE ROOM WHERE IT 
HAPPENED.
MY INTERVIEW WITH DONALD TRUMP'S
FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY 
ADVISER.
>> IT WAS DIFFICULT AND 
FRUSTRATING, BUT ALMOST FOR THAT
REASON IT WAS AN INCENTIVE TO 
STAY ON.
>> Adrienne: WHY JOHN BOLTON 
STAYED, WHY HE LEFT, AND WHAT 
WAS BEING SAID INSIDE THE WHITE 
HOUSE AS CANADA ARRESTED MENG 
WANZHOU AND CHINA ARRESTED TWO 
CANADIANS.
>> Adrienne: WELCOME BACK.
EVEN BEFORE HIS YEAR-LONG STINT 
AS DONALD TRUMP'S NATIONAL 
SECURITY ADVISER, JOHN BOLTON 
HAD A REPUTATION, A FOREIGN 
POLICY HAWK, ABRASIVE AND 
COMBATIVE, ADEPT AT GETTING WHAT
HE WANTS IN WASHINGTON, AND ALL 
THAT HAS MADE HIM ENEMIES, 
INCLUDING NOW THE PRESIDENT OF 
THE UNITED STATES.
AFTER HE PUSHED AHEAD WITH THE 
PUBLICATION OF HIS WHITE HOUSE 
MEMOIR.
FOR CRITICS WHO WONDER WHETHER 
TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY UNDERMINES 
ITSELF OR THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, 
JOHN BOLTON'S ANSWER IS YES.
>> IF THE BOOK GETS OUT, HE'S 
BROKEN THE LAW, AND I WOULD 
THINK THAT HE WOULD HAVE 
CRIMINAL PROBLEMS.
I HOPE SO.
>> Adrienne: THIS IS THE BOOK 
THAT DONALD TRUMP TRIED TO 
PREVENT AMERICANS FROM READING.
JOHN BOLTON'S FAR-FROM-KIND 
ASSESSMENT OF DONALD TRUMP'S 
PRESIDENCY 
>> President Donald Trump: 
THAT'S HIGHLY CLASSIFIED 
INFORMATION.
THIS GUY IS WRITING THINGS ABOUT
CONVERSATIONS, AND MAYBE HE'S 
NOT TELLING THE TRUTH.
HE'S BEEN KNOWN NOT TO TELL THE 
TRUTH, A LOT. 
>> Adrienne: THE BOOK IS FILLED 
WITH ACCUSATIONS AGAINST TRUMP, 
CALLING THE PRESIDENT 
"STUNNINGLY UNINFORMED, AND A 
DANGER TO THE REPUBLIC."
ONCE AN AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED
NATIONS, JOHN BOLTON ALSO SERVED
THREE PREVIOUS AMERICAN 
PRESIDENTS.
>> President Donald Trump: YOU 
ARE GOING TO DO A FANTASTIC JOB.
>> THANK YOU, IT'S AN HONOUR TO 
BE HERE.
>> Reporter: ON APRIL 9, 2018, 
BOLTON BECAME DONALD TRUMP'S 
THIRD NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER 
IN 15 MONTHS.
IN HIS BOOK, BOLTON SAID HE 
QUICKLY SAW A PRESIDENT WHO ONLY
CARED ABOUT RE-ELECTION ADDING 
THAT "OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE WAS
A WAY OF LIFE" AND THAT TRUMP 
"GAVE PERSONAL FAVOURS TO 
DICTATORS HE LIKED."
BOLTON'S BOOK HAS MANAGED TO 
-- BOLTON'S BOOK HAS DONE THE 
UNHEARD OF IN WASHINGTON.
HE'S MANAGED TO UNITE THE 
REPUBLICANS AND THE DEMOCRATS IN
ANGER.
>> IT'S BIG LIE BOLTON, BOOK 
DEAL BOLTON.
HE'S DOING IT FOR THE MONEY.
THAT'S PRETTY CLEAR. 
>> HE CHOSE LOYALTY OVER 
-- ROYALTY OVER PATRIOTISM AND 
SO IS GOING TO MAKE MONEY OFF 
HIS BOOK, I GUESS.
>> Adrienne: WE ALSO HAVE 
QUESTIONS OF OUR OWN ABOUT 
TRUMP'S RELATIONSHIP WITH JUSTIN
TRUDEAU AND THE ARREST OF MENG 
WANZHOU.
I SPOKE WITH AMBASSADOR JOHN 
BOLTON EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON.
AMBASSADOR, THANK YOU FOR TAKING
TIME FOR US TODAY.
I WANTED TO START, IF I COULD, 
WITH THE WHITE HOUSE BRIEFING 
YESTERDAY, BECAUSE THE PRESS 
SECRETARY TOLD REPORTERS THAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD NEVER BEEN 
BRIEFED ABOUT THESE REPORTS OF 
RUSSIAN BOUNTIES BEING PAID TO 
THE TALIBAN TO KILL U.S. OR 
COALITION TROOPS.
CAN YOU SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT 
FOR US, PLEASE?
>> WELL, I CAN'T REALLY COMMENT 
ON NEWS REPORTS THAT HAVE COME 
OUT ABOUT MY BRIEFING THE 
PRESIDENT.
WHAT I THINK I CAN SAY IS THAT 
THIS POSSIBLE THREAT BY THE 
RUSSIANS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS
TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY IF THE 
INFORMATION BEARS OUT.
THE RUSSIANS WANT THE U.S. AND 
COALITION FORCES OUT OF 
AFGHANISTAN, OUT OF IRAQ, OUT OF
SYRIA, OUT OF EASTERN AND 
CENTRAL EUROPE, IF THEY CAN GET 
AWAY WITH IT, OUT OF UKRAINE, 
OUT OF A LOT OF PLACES.
AND A DIRECT THREAT TO AMERICAN 
SERVICE MEMBERS, AND OBVIOUSLY 
TO OTHERS IN THE COALITION, IS 
SOMETHING THAT REALLY ONE CANNOT
BLINK AT.
NOW IF EVALUATION OF INFORMATION
HAS TO TAKE PLACE, GREAT, LET'S 
HAVE EVALUATION.
BUT LET'S ALSO ACT ON IT IF IT 
TURNS OUT TO BE SERIOUS.
>> Adrienne: DID YOU EVER BRIEF 
THE PRESIDENT ON IT?
>> YOU KNOW, I JUST -- ONE DAY 
I'LL SAY NO COMMENT AND THE 
PRESS WILL TAKE THAT TO MEAN NO 
COMMENT.
I'LL BE A HAPPY MAN.
>> Adrienne: IS IT CREDIBLE, 
THOUGH, THAT THE PRESIDENT WOULD
NOT KNOW THIS?
>> IT'S CREDIBLE THE PRESIDENT 
WOULDN'T KNOW A LOT OF THINGS.
I TRY AND EXPLAIN IN THE BOOK, 
I'M SURE IT'S MYSTIFYING TO MANY
PEOPLE, BUT THE PRESIDENT MISSES
A LOT OF THINGS.
HE'S NOT, AS THEY SAY, A DETAIL 
PERSON.
MAYBE THAT'S THE WAY HE WAS 
SUCCESSFUL AT REAL ESTATE.
I DON'T THINK IT'S THE WAY A 
PRESIDENT SHOULD BEHAVE IN 
IMPORTANT INTERNATIONAL 
GEOSTRATEGIC AFFAIRS, BUT THAT'S
THE WAY HE DOES THINGS.
>> Adrienne: IN THE BOOK, YOU 
KNOW, IT'S PRETTY STRIKING TO 
HEAR YOU TALK ABOUT HOW TRUMP 
IS, IN YOUR ESTIMATION, A DANGER
TO THE REPUBLIC.
WHAT WAS THE MOMENT WHERE YOU 
FELT THAT FIRST?
>> WELL, IT WAS A GROWING 
SENSATION.
I DIDN'T HAVE ONE PARTICULAR 
EUREKA MOMENT.
IT WAS SORT OF A LONG SUCCESSION
OF DISAPPOINTMENTS AND GROWING 
CONCERN.
I'M VERY CONFIDENT, BY THE WAY, 
THAT THE UNITED STATES CAN 
SURVIVE A ONE-TERM TRUMP 
PRESIDENCY.
I THINK WE CAN CORRECT THE 
DAMAGE THAT'S BEEN DONE.
BUT CERTAINLY IN THE NATIONAL 
SECURITY FIELD WHERE I'M 
CONCERNED I THINK THE DAMAGE HAS
BEEN CONSIDERABLE, ALTHOUGH 
REPARABLE.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE MORE 
HAPPENING.
THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME IN 
MY ADULT LIFE THAT I WILL NOT 
VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN FOR 
PRESIDENT.
>> Adrienne: YOU KNOW, I'M 
INTERESTED, AS A CANADIAN, YOU 
KNOW, YOU DO WRITE ABOUT CANADA 
IN HERE, AND YOU PARTICULARLY 
WRITE ABOUT THE ARREST OF MENG 
WANZHOU.
I'M CURIOUS, WHY WAS CANADA 
ASKED TO ARREST HER?
AND NOT OTHER COUNTRIES THAT 
ALSO HAVE EXTRADITION TREATIES 
WITH THE UNITED STATES?
>> WELL, PART OF THE DILEMMA FOR
ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT EXERCISE IS 
YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOUR CASE 
IS RIPE BEFORE YOU TRY AND 
ARREST SOMEBODY.
SO I THINK THE LOGISTICS SIMPLY 
WERE THAT AT THE TIME THE 
DECISION WAS MADE IT WAS LEARNED
THAT SHE WAS GOING TO GET ON A 
FLIGHT TO VANCOUVER, AND THAT'S 
WHEN THE REQUEST FOR EXTRADITION
WAS MADE. 
>> Adrienne: I UNDERSTAND THAT.
I AM CURIOUS, THOUGH, I HAVE 
COPIES OF HER PASSPORT HERE.
THE ARREST WAS SWORN AND SEALED 
ON AUGUST 22.
SHE WAS PICKED UP IN CANADA IN 
DECEMBER, BUT THERE ARE STAMPS 
ON THIS PASSPORT BETWEEN THAT 
TIME FOR THE U.K., FOR FRANCE, 
BELGIUM, ALL THESE COUNTRIES 
HAVE EXTRADITION TREATIES WITH 
THE UNITED STATES.
>> YEAH, I CAN'T ANSWER THE 
QUESTION.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I WOULD 
NORMALLY BE FAMILIAR WITH IN ANY
CASE.
IT WASN'T BECAUSE WE WERE TRYING
TO PUT SOME BURDEN ON CANADA.
BEING AN ALUMNUS OF THE JUSTICE 
DEPARTMENT MYSELF, I KNOW A LOT 
OF THESE THINGS ARE PURELY 
LOGISTICAL.
THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL DECISION
BY THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.
>> Adrienne: I THINK YOU CAN 
APPRECIATE WHY I'M ASKING, 
THOUGH, BECAUSE FROM THIS SIDE 
OF THE BORDER, THERE IS, I 
SUPPOSE, A PERCEPTION THAT 
CANADA MIGHT HAVE BEEN PLAYED AS
THE COUNTRY MOST LIKELY TO BE 
COMPLIANT.
>> I'D HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT 
THAT'S A CONSPIRACY THEORY.
I WOULDN'T LOOK AT IT THAT WAY 
AT ALL.
>> Adrienne: FURTHER IN THE 
BOOK, I THINK PAGE -- YEAH, 308,
YOU WRITE ABOUT MIKE PENCE, 
POMPEO, YOURSELF PRESSURING 
TRUDEAU TO STAND FIRM ON THE 
EXTRADITION.
WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?
>> WELL, I DON'T THINK WE 
PRESSURED HIM AT ALL.
I THINK HE WAS QUITE RIGHTLY 
CONCERNED THAT CHINA HAD TAKEN 
CUSTODY OF TWO CANADIAN CITIZENS
FOR NO REASON AT ALL.
IN FACT, I THINK ARRESTED ONE OF
THEM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,
BROKE INTO HIS APARTMENT.
AND THAT'S AN EXAMPLE, AND THIS 
WAS CERTAINLY AN ARGUMENT THAT I
MADE IN CONVERSATIONS WITH 
CANADIANS AND OTHERS, IF THIS IS
THE WAY CHINA BEHAVES NOW, 
IMAGINE HOW THEY'LL BEHAVE WHEN 
THEY BECOME EVEN MORE POWERFUL.
OBVIOUSLY THEY WERE PICKING ON 
CANADA RATHER THAN ARRESTING 
AMERICAN CITIZENS.
I DON'T CONSIDER THAT PRESSURING
CANADA.
I THOUGHT IT WAS REASSURING 
CANADA WE WEREN'T GOING TO LET 
THE CHINESE GET AWAY WITH THIS.
>> Adrienne: AND SO IT'S 560 
PLUS DAYS NOW THAT MICHAEL 
SPAVOR AND MICHAEL KOVRIG HAVE 
BEEN IN DETENTION.
WHEN YOU SAID THAT THAT -- THE 
MATTER OF THEIR DETENTION WOULD 
BE BROUGHT UP AT EVERY 
OPPORTUNITY, WHAT DID YOU 
ACTUALLY DO?
>> THE STATE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN
RAISING IT, AND IT'S BEEN SPOKEN
OF PUBLICLY IN THE 
ADMINISTRATION, INCLUDING AFTER 
I LEFT.
MENG HAS BEEN FIGHTING HER 
EXTRADITION VERY VIGOROUSLY.
THAT HAS CERTAINLY DRAGGED 
THINGS OUT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF 
TIME, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE A 
MISTAKE TO SAY THAT SOMEHOW 
THERE'S AN EQUIVALENCY BETWEEN 
ARRESTING SOMEBODY FOR 
COMMITTING MASSIVE FINANCIAL 
FRAUD, FOR VIOLATION OF THE 
AMERICAN SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN,
VERSUS CHINA JUST ARBITRARILY 
ARRESTING TWO CANADIAN CITIZENS 
FOR NO REASON WHATEVER.
>> Adrienne: YOU KNOW, AS A 
CANADIAN, I'M ALSO AN AMERICAN, 
BUT AS A CANADIAN, YOU SEE THAT 
PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU SEEMS TO 
GO OUT OF HIS WAY TO NOT UPSET 
THE PRESIDENT.
HAS THAT BEEN NOTICED AT ALL?
>> WELL, I THINK IT'S NOT EASY 
FOR ANY FOREIGN LEADER, 
ESPECIALLY FROM AMERICAN ALLIES,
TO DEAL WITH THIS ANOMALOUS 
PRESIDENT.
AND THEY'VE EACH BEHAVED IN 
THEIR OWN WAYS, AND I THINK 
PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU HAS 
BEHAVED IN A RESPONSIBLE 
FASHION.
>> Adrienne: BUT IS THE UNITED 
STATES AT THIS POINT A RELIABLE 
ALLY FOR CANADA UNDER THIS 
PRESIDENT?
>> LOOK, THE FUNDAMENTAL 
RELATIONS BETWEEN TWO COUNTRIES 
REALLY DO TRANSCEND THE 
VAGARIES, EVEN OF AN ELECTION OF
A NATIONAL LEADER.
AND THAT'S WHY I THINK THAT THE 
NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES CAUSED BY 
THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY CAN BE 
OVERCOME.
THE POSITION OF THE UNITED 
STATES IN THE WORLD HAS NOT 
FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED.
THOSE WHO ARE ANTI-AMERICAN WILL
PICK ON TRUMP AS AN EXAMPLE OF 
AMERICA IN DECLINE, AND THEY 
WOULD BE WRONG.
>> Adrienne: YOU HAVE A UNIQUE 
WINDOW INTO THE OPERATIONS OF 
THIS ADMINISTRATION.
WHY SHOULD CANADA PUT ITS 
CITIZENS, ITS TRADE AT RISK FOR 
A COUNTRY AND A LEADER WHO SEEMS
UNWILLING TO RETURN THE FAVOUR?
>> LOOK, IF YOU WANT TO DISAVOW 
THE UNITED STATES, IF YOU WANT 
TO LEAVE NATO, IF YOU WANT TO 
GET RID OF OUR PROTECTION 
MILITARILY, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO 
GO AHEAD AND DO IT.
CANADA CAN DO THAT.
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.
THE ISSUE HERE IN DEALING WITH 
CHINA IS WHETHER FREE COUNTRIES 
WILL STAND TOGETHER AGAINST THIS
AUTHORITARIAN THREAT, OR THEY 
WON'T.
WE'RE GOING TO STICK, I HOPE, 
WITH A CONSISTENT POLICY OF 
TRYING TO PREVENT CHINA FROM 
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ITS ECONOMIC
CLOUT, WHICH IS WHAT IT'S TRYING
TO DO NOW IN THIS PRESENT 
CONTROVERSY.
>> Adrienne: HOW DOES CANADA GET
ITS CANADIANS HOME FROM CHINA AT
THIS POINT?
>> LOOK, I THINK WE ALL WANT TO 
GET THEM HOME AS SOON AS 
POSSIBLE.
AMERICA'S HAD ITS SHARE OF 
HOSTAGES AROUND THE WORLD AS 
WELL.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, MA'AM, 
YOU'RE FREE TO GO ALLY WITH 
CHINA.
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK YOUR 
COUNTRY WANTS TO DO.
THINK ABOUT THAT LONG AND HARD.
>> Adrienne: SORRY, I'M ACTUALLY
ASKING FOR SOME ANALYSIS ON WHAT
THE RIGHT APPROACH MIGHT BE.
>> YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE A 
LONG-TERM PERSPECTIVE.  
WHAT THE CHINESE HAVE DONE IS 
OUTRAGEOUS.
THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY WILL DO 
IF YOU GIVE IN TO THAT 
BEHAVIOUR?
LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
>> WELL, THAT'S THE ADVANTAGE OF
SITTING WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW IS 
I'M ASKING YOU FOR ANALYSIS.
I THINK CANADIANS FEEL LIKE 
THEY'RE OUT OF GOOD IDEAS AT 
THIS POINT AND THEY'RE LOOKING 
FOR SOME.
>> PERSISTENCE.
PERSISTENCE.
PERSISTENCE.
>> Adrienne: THANK YOU FOR YOUR 
TIME.
I HOPE WE DIDN'T TAKE TOO MUCH 
OF IT.
>>> STILL AHEAD ON "THE 
NATIONAL," REMEMBERING CARL 
REINER.
WE LOOK AT THE CLASSIC 
COMEDIAN'S LEGACY.
>> Andrew: PLUS HOW COVID-19 
CLOSURES ARE HITTING THE LGTBQ 
COMMUNITY. 
>> IT KILLS ME BECAUSE THAT WAS 
OUR HOME, THAT WAS OUR ONLY 
PLACE.
THAT WAS OUR ONLY SAFE PLACE.
>> Andrew: THE LOSS OF GAY BARS 
IN CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
>> Andrew: SOMETIMES A BAR IS 
MORE THAN JUST A BAR.
SMALL BUSINESSES LIKE BARS AND 
RESTAURANTS HAVE BEEN BUCKLING 
UNDER THE PANDEMIC, INCLUDING 
GAY BARS.
IN GOOD TIMES, THEY PROVIDE A 
PLACE WHERE PEOPLE ARE FREE TO 
BE THEMSELVES, SO KAYLA HOUNSELL
LOOKS AT THE IMPACT AS THOSE 
SAFE SPACES SHUT DOWN.
>> THIS SIDE YOU WANT THAT 
DEPTH.
>> Reporter: TODAY ROUGE FATALE 
IS TEACHING, USUALLY DURING 
PRIDE MONTH SHE'S PERFORMING, 
BUT THE PANDEMIC HAS CHANGED 
THINGS, AND FORCED THE CLOSURE 
OF HER MAIN STAGE.
>> IT KILLS ME, BECAUSE THAT WAS
OUR HOME.
THAT WAS OUR ONLY PLACE.
IT WAS OUR ONLY SAFE PLACE.
>> Reporter: HALIFAX'S MENZ AND 
MOLLYZ CLOSED IN APRIL.
IT WAS THE CITY'S ONLY DEDICATED
GAY BAR.
LIKEWISE, FREDERICTON'S BOOM 
NIGHTCLUB CLOSED LAST WEEKEND. 
>> IT'S PRETTY PROFOUND AND 
PRETTY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE 
THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS NOT 
JUST WHY IT'S A SAFE SPACE.
IT'S NOT THAT IT HAS A LOCK OR 
THE WINDOWS ARE SECURE.
IT'S NOT A PHYSICAL SAFETY.
IT'S AN EMOTIONAL SAFETY SPACE.
>> Reporter: AMOUR LOVE IS THE 
REIGNING BOOM QUEEN.
THE PANDEMIC MEANS VIRTUAL-ONLY 
PERFORMANCES FOR NOW, BUT EVEN 
WHEN OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS START 
WELCOMING AUDIENCES BACK, SHE 
SAYS IT WON'T BE THE SAME.
>> I CAN ALMOST GUARANTEE WHEN I
DO OUT TO ANY OTHER BAR, OTHER 
THAN A GAY BAR, I WILL GET 
LOOKED AT, TALKED ABOUT OR 
POINTED AT AT LEAST FIVE OR SIX 
TIMES BEFORE I EVEN TAKE MY COAT
OFF.
>> Reporter: IN REGINA, THE 
LGTBQ SOCIAL CLUB IS HANGING ON.
>> THE BILLS MOUNTED AND THE 
BILLS KEPT GROWING.
>> Reporter: UNITE CLUB IS OWNED
AND OPERATED BY THE COMMUNITY.
A GoFundMe PAGE TO HELP WITH 
PANDEMIC BILLS RAISED NEARLY 
$25,000 IN TWO WEEKS.
>> I'VE SEEN DONATIONS AND 
MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE FROM -- 
THAT HAVEN'T BEEN HERE FOR 15 
YEARS THAT TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH 
THIS PLACE MEANT TO THEM WHEN 
THEY WERE COMING OUT.
>> IT TERRIFIES ME. 
>> Reporter: ROUGE FATALE SAYS 
THE IMPORTANCE OF A CLUB, 
ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE 
JUST COMING OUT, CANNOT BE 
OVERSTATED.
>> SCARY WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A 
CHURCH.
YOU KNOW?
AND TO SOME FOLKS, THAT WAS 
THEIR HAVEN.
THAT WAS THEIR PLACE TO GO TO BE
PROTECTED, TO BE SAFE, TO KNOW 
THAT THEY WEREN'T GOING TO BE 
JUDGED.
>> Reporter: FOR PERFORMERS, 
IT'S ALSO A LOSS OF INCOME, BUT 
THEY SAY THEY WILL PERSEVERE AND
LOOK FOR WAYS TO CREATE NEW SAFE
SPACES.
KAYLA HOUNSELL, CBC NEWS, 
HALIFAX. 
>> Adrienne: NEXT ON "THE 
NATIONAL," REMEMBERING CARL 
REINER. 
>> A WORD LIKE CHEESE, WHAT'S 
THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD?
>> CHEESE CAME THE FIRST MAN WHO
DISCOVERED CHEESE.
HE LOOKED INTO A BIG BARREL OF 
SOURING MILK, MILK THAT WAS 
SOURING, AND HE SNIFFED IT, AND 
HE WENT, CHEESE!
[LAUGHTER]
>> Adrienne: MASTER OF HIS 
CRAFT.
HIS COMEDIC LEGACY, NEXT.
>> Adrienne: CARL REINER MADE 
PEOPLE LAUGH FOR WELL OVER SICK 
DECADES AND BARELY SLOWED DOWN 
IN THE LAST FEW.
LAST NIGHT HE DIED AT THE AGE OF
98, AND HE'S BEING REMEMBERED AS
A TELEVISION PIONEER AND THE MAN
BEHIND A LANDMARK SITCOM.
HIS SON, THE NOTED ACTOR AND 
DIRECTOR, ROB REINER TWEETED 
TODAY: LAST NIGHT MY DAD PASSED 
AWAY.
AS I WRITE THIS, MY HEART IS 
HURTING.
HE WAS MY GUIDING LIGHT.
ELI GLASNER LOOKS BACK ON A LONG
LIFETIME OF ACHIEVEMENT.
>> Reporter: CARL REINER'S 
TALENT WAS TO MAKE THE PEOPLE 
AROUND HIM FUNNIER.
HE MADE HIS MARK ON SID SAYSAR'S
VARIETY SHOW AS A STRAIGHT MAN 
WITH A SERIOUS FUNNY BONE.
>> THAT'S NOT SPAGHETTI, SIR, 
THAT'S SPAGH-OTTI.
>> Reporter: HIS TIME WITH 
CAESAR BECAME THE BASIS OF HIS 
CREATION, THE DICK VAN DYKE 
SHOW, WHERE HE PLAYS THE 
BLOW-HARD BOSS.
>> ALAN, IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
LUNCH AND GET TO THAT MEETING, 
YOU BETTER GET GOING. 
>> SHUT UP, MEL.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY CHAIR. 
>> Reporter: BUT IT WAS ANOTHER 
MEL WHO CHANGED HIS CAREER.
BROOKS WAS AN UP-AND-COMING 
COMEDIAN.
ONE DAY REINER FED HIM A 
QUESTION THAT WOULD INSPIRE A 
HIT RECORD.
>> HERE IS A MAN WHO IS ACTUALLY
AT THE SCENE OF THE CRUCIFIXION 
2,000 YEARS AGO.
ISN'T THAT TRUE, SIR?
AND FIRST WORDS OUT OF MEL WERE,
OH, BOY.
>> OH, BOY, IT WAS TERRIBLE.
>> YOU KNEW JESUS?
HE SAYS, YEAH, HE CAME IN THE 
STORE.
>> And even though they 
rehearsed this act and he 
polished it, there are moments 
where brooks starts to lean in 
the direction and Reiner sees it
and goes with it, and you can 
feel the joy.
>> Reporter: LATER REINER MOVED 
BEHIND THE SCENES, HARNESSING 
THE MANIC TALENTS OF STEVE 
MARTIN IN A SERIES OF SUCCESSFUL
FILMS.
MORE RECENTLY REINER HAD A 
RECURRING ROLE IN THE OCEANS 11 
HEIST MOVIES. 
>> SO YOUR GOING TO TELL ME OR 
SHOULD I JUST SAY NO AND GET IT 
OVER WITH. 
>> Reporter: COMEDIAN SHAWN 
COLLINS SAYS REINER COMES FROM A
GENERATION THAT PUTS THE LAUGHS 
FIRST.
>> IT NEVER WAS ABOUT, OH, HOW 
SMART THAT CARL REINER IS.
HE'S SO INSIGHTFUL.
I DON'T THINK HE EVER WORRIED 
ABOUT THAT, AND I BELIEVE THAT 
IT TAKES SOMEONE INCREDIBLY 
INTELLIGENT TO BE THAT STUPID, 
TO DO THAT KIND OF STUPID 
SILLINESS AND OWN IT, YOU KNOW?
>> Reporter: EVEN IN THEIR 90S, 
THE SILLINESS BETWEEN MEL BROOKS
AND REINER CONTINUED.
THEY MET NIGHTLY TO EAT, WATCH 
MOVIES AND KIBITZ.
IT WAS JUST LAST SUNDAY REINER'S
MANAGER SHARED A PHOTO OF THE 
ALWAYS OUTSPOKEN REINER WITH HIS
DAUGHTER AND MEL.
TODAY BROOKS ECHOED THE 
SENTIMENTS OF MANY OF REINER'S 
FRIENDS, CALLING HIM A GIANT WHO
WILL BE GREATLY MISSED.
ELI GLASNER, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: NEXT ON "THE 
NATIONAL," ONE MAN'S SERIOUSLY 
INTRICATE CANADA DAY PROJECT IN 
OUR "MOMENT."
BUT FIRST ANDREW HAS SOME 
SPECIAL PROGRAMMING TO TELL YOU 
ABOUT TOMORROW.
>> Andrew: YEAH, IT'S GOING TO 
BE A BIG DAY PLANNED FOR 
TOMORROW.
*
WE'VE GOT A SPECIAL PROGRAM 
PLANNED TO CELEBRATE CANADA DAY 
2020.
IT IS GOING TO BE VERY DIFFERENT
THAN WHAT ANY OF US IS USED TO, 
AS THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC KEEPS US 
APART, BUT WE WILL BRING THE 
COUNTRY TO YOU WITH A FOCUS ON 
CELEBRATING THOSE CANADIANS ON 
THE FRONT LINES, KEEPING THIS 
COUNTRY HEALTHY, FED AND SAFE 
DURING PRETTY UNCERTAIN TIMES.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME BIG 
SURPRISES TOO, SO JOIN US AT 11 
A.M. EASTERN ON CBC TELEVISION, 
"CBC NEWS NETWORK" AND CBC GEM.
>> Andrew: LUANGA NUWAME HAS 
BEEN CREATING CARDBOARD 
INSTALLATIONS SINCE HE WAS A 
TEENAGER.
HE'S MADE BOARD GAMES FOR HIS 
KIDS, EVEN A SWIMMING POOL, ALL 
OUT OF CARDBOARD, AND NOW HE'S 
TRYING SOMETHING NEW.
HE'S CALLING HIS NEW CARDBOARD 
PROJECT "BEAUTIFUL CANADA," HIS 
WAY OF PAYING TRIBUTE TO THIS 
COUNTRY, AND THAT IS OUR 
"MOMENT."
*
>> I'VE BEEN HARD CORE INTO 
MAKING THINGS OUT OF CARDBOARD 
SINCE I WAS A TEENAGER.
DURING THIS PANDEMIC THAT ALL OF
US HAVE HAD TO GO THROUGH, IT 
GAVE ME A LOT OF TIME TO THINK 
ABOUT THE COUNTRY THAT I WAS 
BORN IN AND HAS LIVED IN ALL 43 
YEARS OF MY LIFE.
I STARTED RESEARCHING AND 
REALIZING THAT EVERY PROVINCE 
AND TERRITORY HAS BEAUTIFUL 
LANDSCAPES.
THEY ARE ALL UNIQUE, AND I 
WANTED TO CREATE, LIKE, A LOVE 
LETTER TO CANADA.
IT JUST HIT ME AFTER I STARTED 
LOOKING AT SOME PICTURES AND 
MADE B.C. AND THEN MADE ALBERTA 
AND YUKON AND I KEPT ON GOING.
NEW BRUNSWICK HAS THE WORLD'S 
LARGEST AXE.
I THINK THAT'S A COOL THING TO 
HAVE, AND THE WORLD'S LARGEST 
LOBSTER, SO OKAY, I HAVE TO ADD 
IN THOSE.
I PLANNED HOW MANY LAYERS I 
WANT, USUALLY FIVE LAYERS.
I INTRICATELY CUT OUT EACH ONE, 
EACH ONE TAKES TWO OR THREE 
HOURS TO COMPLETE.
I MADE THIS FOR CANADIANS TO 
EMBRACE THEIR OWN NATION AND 
HAVE SOMETHING UNIQUE AND 
SPECIAL FOR THIS QUITE DREARY 
YEAR THAT'S BEEN 2020.
>> Adrienne: DREARY YEAR.
THESE ARE NOT DREARY.
WE HAS MADE ONE OF THESE FOR 
EACH OF THE PREMIERS.
HE'S GIVING THEM TO THEM.
HE'S MAKING 100 OF EACH ONE AND 
DISTRIBUTING THEM, AND THEN HE'S
DONE.
>> Andrew: THE NICE TOUCH IS 
INSIDE EACH BOOKLET IT SAYS 100%
MADE IN CANADA.
OBVIOUSLY EVERYTHING IS 
CANADIAN, THE IDEA, THE IMAGE, 
BUT ALSO THE CARDBOARD, THE 
GLUE, ALL OF IT.
>> Adrienne: AMAZING.
>> Andrew: THAT'S "THE NATIONAL"
FOR THIS TUESDAY, JUNE 30.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Adrienne: GOOD NIGHT.
