>> Adrienne: GOOD EVENING, I'M
ADRIENNE ARSENAULT.
ANDREW IS AWAY.
>>> TONIGHT, CONSERVATIVES KNOW
WHO WILL LEAD THEM IN THE NEXT
ELECTION.
ARE THEY GUNNING FOR ONE?
>> YOU'RE GOING TO BE SEEING AND
HEARING A LOT FROM ME IN
THE COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS.
>> Adrienne: HOW ERIN O'TOOLE
WON, AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR HOW
HE'LL RUN.
>>> A CURFEW CRACKDOWN IN
WISCONSIN, FURY SPILLS INTO THE
AMERICAN STREETS AFTER A VIDEO
CAPTURES ANOTHER POLICE
SHOOTING.
>> STOP THE CAMERAS.
HE WAS SHOT SEVEN TIMES.
>> Adrienne: MANITOBA SLAMS
DOWN NEW COVID RESTRICTIONS.
>> THIS CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE.
>> Adrienne: TRYING TO STAMP
OUT A SPIKE IN CASES.
WHAT IS DRIVING THE SURGE?
>>> AND SOME PARENTS LOOKING FOR
A BACK-TO-SCHOOL PLAN FIND ONE
CLOSE TO HOME.
>> I THINK THAT IF YOU WANT TO
DO THIS, YOU CAN DO THIS.
>> Adrienne: HOMESCHOOLING
101.
>>> THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
(*)
>>> CANADA'S NEW CONSERVATIVE
LEADER IS A MAN WITH A PLAN, A
SWORN MISSION TO UNSEAT JUSTIN
TRUDEAU AS PRIME MINISTER.
TODAY ERIN O'TOOLE CLAIMED HIS
NEW OFFICE AS LEADER OF HER
MAJESTY'S OFFICIAL OPPOSITION,
NOT TOO LONG AFTER A
HARD-HITTING
ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
DELIVERED ON A VERY LATE NIGHT.
A TECHNICAL PROBLEM DELAYED THE
VOTE COUNT FOR HOURS BUT VICTORY
IS NOW HIS.
HANNAH THIBEDEAU SHOWS US A
LEADER SPOILING FOR A FIGHT, AND
POSSIBLY AN ELECTION.
>> I'M ERIN O'TOOLE.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE SEEING AND
HEARING A LOT FROM ME IN THE
COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS.
>> Reporter: NEW CONSERVATIVE
LEADER ERIN O'TOOLE KNOWS JOB
ONE IS GETTING HIS NAME AND FACE
KNOWN.
>> OUTSIDE OF HIS FRIENDS AND
FAMILY, LIKE, NOBODY KNOWS WHO
HE IS.
>> THE NEXT PRIME MINISTER!
>> Reporter: BUT CONSERVATIVES
FEEL THAT HE'LL BE AN EASY SELL.
>> MOST CANADIANS WILL LOOK AT
MR. O'TOOLE AND SAY THAT COULD
BE MY NEIGHBOUR.
HE LOOKS LIKE A NICE GUY.
>> Reporter: HE'S A FORMER AIR
FORCE OFFICER AND CORPORATE
LAWYER AND BECAME THE M.P. FOR
DURHAM, ONTARIO, IN 2012.
IN 2015 HE WAS A CABINET
MINISTER UNDER STEPHEN HARPER.
O'TOOLE RAN IN THE 2017
LEADERSHIP RACE AS A MODERATE
VOICE IN THE PARTY, BUT FINISHED
THIRD.
>> WE NEED STRONG LEADERSHIP TO
UNITE OUR PARTY --
>> Reporter: THIS TIME AROUND
HE REDEFINED HIMSELF AS THE TRUE
BLUE CANDIDATE TO APPEAL TO THE
RIGHT-WING OF THE PARTY.
AND IT WORKED.
O'TOOLE WAS ABLE TO PICK UP
SECOND AND THIRD BALLOT SUPPORT
FROM SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE
CANDIDATES LESLYN LEWIS AND
DEREK SLOAN.
[Applause]
BUT HE NOW NEEDS TO KEEP HIS
PARTY UNITED AND KEEP IT
GROWING.
IT ADDED 100,000 NEW MEMBERSHIPS
DURING THIS LEADERSHIP RACE AND
A RECORD NUMBER OF PARTY MEMBERS
VOTED.
THE CONSERVATIVES ARE DEBT FREE.
AND O'TOOLE PLANS TO BUILD ON
THAT.
>> IT IS TIME FOR MANY LIBERAL
AND N.D.P. VOTERS TO SOCIALLY
DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM THOSE
OUT-OF-TOUCH PARTIES.
>> Reporter: TALK OF A SNAP
ELECTION CONTINUES TO SWIRL WHEN
THE HOUSE RESUMES IN LATE
SEPTEMBER.
O'TOOLE HAS SAID HE WANTS TO
TOPPLE THE LIBERAL GOVERNMENT,
BUT THE CONSERVATIVES ARE
CURRENTLY TRAILING THE LIBERALS
IN THE POLLS.
>> SO FOR ERIN O'TOOLE, IF HE IS
GOING TO BE LOOKING AT WHERE
THINGS STAND IN THE POLLS HE'S
GOT SOME WORK TO DO BEFORE HE
SHOULD BE CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO
BRING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT.
AND TO TAKE A RISK ON AN
ELECTION.
>> Reporter: O'TOOLE IS
EXPECTED TO DISCUSS THIS WITH
HIS CAUCUS, TO DECIDE IF HE WILL
RISK IT AND TRY TO TRIGGER AN
ELECTION IN A FEW WEEKS' TIME.
HANNAH THIBEDEAU, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> Adrienne: FOR ERIN O'TOOLE,
WINNING GOVERNMENT MAY DEPEND ON
WINNING THE TRUST OF CANADIANS
WHO SUPPORT SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
AND ABORTION RIGHTS.
BUT AS DAVID COCHRANE SHOWS US,
HE ALSO NEEDS THE LOYALTY OF
SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES WHO GOT HIM
ELECTED LEADER.
>> THE NEW LEADER OF THE
CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF CANADA --
[Cheers and Applause]
>> Reporter: FOR THE SECOND
STRAIGHT RACE, SOCIAL
CONSERVATIVES PICKED THE LEADER.
THEY PUSHED ERIN O'TOOLE PAST
PETER MacKAY.
>> ANDREW SCHEER.
[Cheers and Applause]
>> Reporter: MUCH LIKE WHEN
THEY NUDGED ANDREW SCHEER PAST
MAXIME BERNIER.
>> WE DON'T NEED TO KEEP PICKING
THIS FIGHT OF, OH, LET'S KICK
OUT THE
SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES TO BE MORE
APPEALING.
>> Reporter: STEVE OUTHOUSE
RAN THE LESLYN LEWIS CAMPAIGN.
A PROUD SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE,
LEWIS FINISHED THIRD IN TOTAL
POINTS, BUT ON THE SECOND BALLOT
HAD MORE RAW VOTES THAN ANY
OTHER CANDIDATE.
>> WE NEED SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES
IN OUR PARTY IF WE'RE GOING TO
UNITE AND WIN.
>> Reporter: THOSE VOTERS WENT
HEAVILY TO O'TOOLE ON THE FINAL
BALLOT, MAKING IT CLEAR THAT
SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE VOTERS ARE A
BIG KEY TO VICTORY INSIDE THE
PARTY.
BUT AS SCHEER LEARNED, THEIR
VALUES CAN ALSO TRIGGER DEFEAT.
>> Question: DO YOU BELIEVE THAT
A SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IS THE SAME
AS A CONVENTIONAL UNION?
>> LOOK, OF COURSE I BELIEVE IN
THE EQUALITY OF RIGHTS OF ALL
CANADIANS.
>> THAT WAS THRUST ON TO THE
AGENDA AND HUNG AROUND ANDREW
SCHEER'S NECK LIKE A STINKING
ALBATROSS.
>> Reporter: THAT COMMENT MAY
BE WHAT SANK MacKAY,
ALIENATING THOUSANDS OF
POTENTIAL VOTERS.
>> I JUST DON'T THINK THAT HE
WAS ABLE TO RECOVER THE TRUST OF
THE SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES AFTER
THAT, NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE SAID
THAT HE WANTED PARTY UNITY.
>> Reporter: O'TOOLE, IN
CONTRAST, POSITIONED HIMSELF AS
A SAFE SECOND CHOICE WHO WILL
SEEK TO BROADEN THE TENT --
>> WHETHER YOU ARE BLACK, WHITE,
BROWN OR FROM ANY RACE OR CREED,
WHETHER YOU ARE LGBT OR
STRAIGHT --
>> Reporter: WHILE RESPECTING
SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES.
>> O'TOOLE HIMSELF HAS SAID THAT
HE DOESN'T HOLD SOCIALLY
CONSERVATIVE VIEWS.
HE'LL MARCH IN PRIDE PARADES.
BUT HE BELIEVES THAT PART OF THE
PARTY, THAT PEOPLE WITH THOSE
BELIEFS HAVE A PLACE IN THE
PARTY.
>> Reporter: BUT THEIR
OPPONENTS ARGUE THAT THOSE
BELIEFS HAVE NO PLACE IN
GOVERNMENT.
SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES
ACCOUNT FOR
MORE THAN ONE-THIRD OF
VOTERS IN THIS LEADERSHIP, A
SIZEABLE MINORITY THAT WILL GET
THE MAJORITY OF SCRUTINY IN THE
NEXT ELECTION.
DAVID COCHRANE, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> Adrienne: SO WHAT IS ALL OF
THIS LEADING TO?
LET'S GET SOME ANSWERS FROM
VASSY KAPELOS, THE HOST OF
"POWER & POLITICS."
VASSY, WHAT ARE THE
CONSERVATIVES TELLING YOU TODAY
ABOUT WHETHER THEY ACTUALLY WANT
TO FIGHT A FALL ELECTION?
>> Vassy: HEY, ADRIENNE.
NORMALLY THIS WOULDN'T BE THE
DISCUSSION THAT WE'D HAVE AFTER
THE ELECTION OF A NEW LEADER OF
THE PARTY, THE OFFICIAL
OPPOSITION.
THEY'D HAVE A FEW MONTHS TO GET
THEIR PARTY TOGETHER, GET THEIR
VISION TOGETHER,
ARTICULATE THAT TO CANADIANS,
BUT THIS IS A DIFFERENT
SITUATION THANKS TO THE
ANNOUNCEMENT LAST WEEK FROM THE
PRIME
MINISTER THAT HIS GOVERNMENT
WILL FACE A CONFIDENCE VOTE.
PEOPLE THAT I SPEAK TO AROUND
ERIN O'TOOLE ARE VERY SET ON
MAKING SURE THEY'RE PREPARED FOR
AN ELECTION, BUT THEY CERTAINLY
AREN'T GUNNING FOR ONE.
AND THERE'S ONE BIG REASON FOR
THAT.
A RECENT POLL SHOWS THAT ABOUT
TWO-THIRDS OF CANADIANS DON'T
REALLY KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT ERIN
O'TOOLE TO FORM AN OPINION ABOUT
HIM.
THEY DON'T WANT CANADIANS TO
FORM THAT OPINION DURING AN
ELECTION.
THEY'RE HOPEFUL THEY CAN DO IT
WELL BEFORE ONE.
>> Adrienne: OKAY, SO GIVEN
ALL OF THAT THEN, WHAT IS YOUR
SENSE OF
HOW REALISTIC A FALL ELECTION
WOULD BE, GIVEN THAT OTHER
PARTIES HAVE A SAY IN THIS?
>> Vassy: YEAH, I THINK THAT
IS WHAT IS SO
IMPORTANT HERE, ADRIENNE,
TALKING TO OTHER PARTIES ABOUT
HOW MUCH THEY ACTUALLY WANT ONE.
AND THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO
BRING IN THE
N.D.P. BECAUSE, YES, THEY HAVE
FINANCIAL PROBLEMS.
BUT THEY'RE ALSO WORRIED ABOUT
THE LIBERALS PAINTING ERIN
O'TOOLE -- SOMEONE TOLD ME FROM
THE
PARTY AS, QUOTE, "SCARY."
BECAUSE THAT WILL DRIVE
CANADIANS TO VOTE FOR THE
LIBERALS.
AT THE END OF THE DAY THE N.D.P.
PLAY A REALLY IMPORTANT ROLE,
BECAUSE
IF THEY SUPPORT THE LIBERALS IN
THE THRONE SPEECH THERE WON'T BE
AN ELECTION.
ADRIENNE?
>> Adrienne: ALL RIGHT, THANK
YOU, VASSY.
VASSY KAPELOS, THE HOST OF
"POWER & POLITICS."
>>> THIS NEXT STORY BEGINS WITH
DISTURBING VIDEO, BUT WE NEED TO
PLAY AT LEAST SOME OF IT BECAUSE
IT SHOWS YOU YET ANOTHER POLICE
SHOOTING OF A BLACK MAN.
THIS TIME IN WISCONSIN, AND THIS
TIME HE WAS SHOT REPEATEDLY IN
THE BACK.
TONIGHT JACOB BLAKE IS IN STABLE
CONDITION IN HOSPITAL.
AND ON THE STREETS OF THE SMALL
CITY
WHERE IT HAPPENED, ALMOST 200
MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL GUARD
ARE ON PATROL.
SUSAN ORMISTON NOW ON THE
SHOOTING AND THE PROTESTS THAT
FOLLOWED.
>> Reporter: DISTURBING VIDEO
SHOWS TWO POLICE GUNS DRAWN
FOLLOWING A MAN AROUND HIS CAR
AND AS HE LEANS IN --
>> (gunshots)
>> Reporter: SEVEN SHOTS IN
THE BACK.
AND THREE KIDS INSIDE THAT CAR.
JACOB BLAKE'S FIANCÉ IS FRANTIC.
>> THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT
THE KIDS WAS IN THE CAR.
AND I'M TELLING ONE OF THE COPS
AND I'M LIKE CAN YOU PLEASE GET
BACK BEFORE I SHOOT YOU.
GET BACK.
LIKE THESE OFFICERS ARE GOING TO
SHOOT ME?
MY KIDS IS IN THE CAR!
>> Reporter: THE REACTION WAS
SWIFT.
LAST NIGHT PROTESTERS ROAMED AND
TORCHING VEHICLES AND BUILDINGS
AND FRUSTRATIONS GROWING INTO
FACEOFFS WITH POLICE.
>> WHAT ARE YOU WALKING AWAY
FOR, WE'RE TALKING.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS --
>> Reporter: TODAY THE MAYOR
OF KENOSHA
TRIED TO DEESCALATE THE
TENSIONS.
>> YOU HAVE TO HAVE DUE PROCESS
FOR EVERYONE.
>> WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE
OFFICER?
>> Reporter: THE CROWD WANTED
ANSWERS.
>> I WANT TO KNOW.
>> Reporter: WHEN HE HAD NONE
THE MAYOR RETREATED INTO CITY
HALL.
THE POLICE ASSOCIATION SAYS THAT
THE VIDEO DOES NOT CAPTURE ALL
OF THE INTRICACIES OF A HIGHLY
DYNAMIC INCIDENT.
BUT THEY DID NOT ANSWER WHY WERE
POLICE CHASING JACOB BLAKE.
WAS HE ARMED?
NEIGHBOURS SAY THAT HE LIVED
THERE AND HE WAS TRYING TO BREAK
UP A FIGHT BETWEEN TWO WOMEN.
KEN MAHONE GREW UP
TWO BLOCKS FROM THE SHOOTING --
>> JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL AND WE
HAVE TO GIVE JUSTICE TIME.
PLEASE DON'T DESTROY OUR
COMMUNITY.
>> THESE OFFICERS ARE COMPLICIT
BY THEIR SILENCE.
>> Reporter: LAWYER BEN CRUMP,
WHO REPRESENTS GEORGE FLOYD'S
FAMILY, IS TAKING ON THIS CASE
TOO.
AS KENOSHA GOES UNDER A STRICT
CURFEW TONIGHT WITH THE NATIONAL
GUARD ON PATROL.
SUSAN ORMISTON, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Adrienne: DAY ONE OF THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION
IS NOW OVER AND LIKE EVERYTHING
ELSE RIGHT AT THE MOMENT, THE
PANDEMIC HAS FORCED SOME
CHANGES TO THE CONVENTION.
IT'S HAPPENING IN TWO CITIES
OVER FOUR DAYS.
A MOSTLY VIRTUAL AFFAIR.
AS PAUL HUNTER SHOWS US, IT
STARTED WITH AN IMPORTANT MOMENT
FOR DONALD TRUMP.
>> THIS CONVENTION WILL COME TO
ORDER!
>> Reporter: FOR REPUBLICANS
THIS WEEK, FIRST THINGS FIRST --
>> SOUTH CAROLINA, 50 DELEGATES.
>> WE PROUDLY AND HAPPILY CAST
ALL 50 OF OUR VOTES FOR
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.
>> Reporter: SUFFICE TO SAY
DONALD TRUMP GOT THE NOMINATION
TO RUN AGAIN FOR THE WHITE
HOUSE.
>> FOUR MORE YEARS!
>> President Donald Trump: IF
YOU WANT TO REALLY DRIVE
THEM CRAZY YOU SAY 12 MORE
YEARS.
[laughter]
>> Reporter: BUT TRUMP IS IN A
DEEP HOLE.
UNDER FIRE FOR HIS HANDLING OF
THE COVID CRISIS, AND FOR HIS
APPROACH ON SOCIAL INJUSTICE,
HIS IMPEACHMENT AND HIS INNER
CIRCLE SCANDALS AND MORE --
TODAY SOBERINGLY TRUMP AGAIN
FRAMED THE NARRATIVE FOR IF HE
DOESN'T WIN.
>> President Donald Trump: AND
I REALLY BELIEVE THIS -- THIS IS
THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION IN
THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY.
>> IT IS.
>> President Donald Trump:
DON'T LET THEM TAKE IT AWAY FROM
YOU.
THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN TAKE THIS
ELECTION AWAY FROM US IS IF THIS
IS A RIGGED ELECTION.
>> Reporter: BUT ALTHOUGH
TRUMP KNOWS HE'S FAR BEHIND IN
MOST POLLS, DON'T COUNT HIM OUT,
NO MATTER THE POLLS, MILLIONS
STILL SUPPORT HIM.
>> I THINK THAT THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF CASES TO BE MADE FOR
VOTING TRUMP IN 2020.
>> Reporter: TRAVIS CORSON,
WASHINGTON, D.C. CHAIR OF THE
GROUP YOUNG REPUBLICANS, REMAINS
A STEADFAST TRUMP BACKER.
HE LIKES TRUMP'S OPTIMISM, HIS
VOCAL SUPPORT FOR POLICING AND
CRITICALLY --
>> AS WE CRAWL OUT FROM THIS
PANDEMIC AND AS WE RECOVER, I
TRUST THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
TO CONTINUE THE PRO-ECONOMIC
GROWTH
AGENDA THAT BROUGHT OUR ECONOMY
TO WHERE IT WAS BEFORE AND WILL
CONTINUE THAT GROWTH ONCE WE
MOVE PAST THIS PANDEMIC.
>> OUR PARTY IS UNIFIED, OUR
SUPPORTERS ARE ENERGIZED --
>> Reporter: WILL IT BE
ENOUGH?
WILL THIS WEEK'S CONVENTION
BOOST TRUMP'S RE-ELECTION
CHANCES?
REPUBLICANS AND THE PRESIDENT
MAKE THEIR CASE THIS WEEK.
>> Adrienne: SO, PAUL, WE HAVE
NOW SEEN THE FIRST NIGHT OF
SPEECHES.
WHAT STOOD OUT FOR YOU?
>> Reporter: WELL, I WILL NOTE
THAT DONALD TRUMP WAS ALL OVER
THE CONVENTION ON DAY ONE.
HE SPOKE AND APPEARED A FEW
TIMES TODAY AND TONIGHT.
BUT WHAT STOOD OUT FOR ME WAS
THE McCLOSKEY, THE COUPLE FROM
ST. LOUIS WHO FAMOUSLY WAVED
THEIR GUNS AT BLACK LIVES
DEMONSTRATORS AS THEY HAPPENED
TO BE PEACEFULLY WALKING PAST
THEIR MANSION.
TONIGHT IN A VIDEOTAPED MESSAGE
THEY SPOKE ABOUT THAT IN
UNDERLINING THEIR SUPPORT FOR
DONALD TRUMP.
HERE'S A CLIP --
>> YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT THE
KIND OF PEOPLE WHO BACK DOWN,
THANKFULLY, NEITHER IS DONALD
TRUMP.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL DEFEND THE
GOD-GIVEN RIGHT OF EVERY
AMERICAN TO PROTECT THEIR HOMES
AND THEIR FAMILIES.
>> THAT'S WHAT'S AT STAKE IN
THIS ELECTION AND THAT'S WHY WE
MUST RE-ELECT DONALD TRUMP.
>> Reporter: YOU KNOW, ONE OF
THE GOALS FOR DONALD TRUMP IN
THIS CONVENTION IS TO FIRE UP
HIS SUPPORTERS, TO GET THEM
ENERGIZED, TO MAKE SURE THEY GET
OUT AND VOTE IN NOVEMBER.
SO CONSIDER, ADRIENNE, THAT
EVERY SPEAKER, EVERY CAREFULLY
CHOSEN BIT OF VIDEO, INCLUDING
THAT ONE, IS WITH THAT IN MIND.
>> Adrienne: ALL RIGHT, PAUL
HUNTER IN WASHINGTON TONIGHT.
THANKS, PAUL.
>>> THE UNITED STATES HAS
SURPASSED MORE THAN 175,000
COVID DEATHS AND HUNDREDS OF
AMERICANS ARE STILL DYING EACH
DAY FROM THE VIRUS.
SO DONALD TRUMP KNOWS HE NEEDS
SOME GOOD NEWS ON THE
CORONAVIRUS.
AND THIS WEEKEND HE SAYS THAT HE
GOT A WIN.
THE U.S. FOOD AND DRUG
ADMINISTRATION HAS GIVEN A FORM
OF PLASMA THERAPY EMERGENCY
AUTHORIZATION.
BUT AS CHRISTINE BIRAK SHOWS US,
SOME SCIENTISTS SAY THAT IT IS
TOO EARLY TO SAY HOW EFFECTIVE
IT IS.
>> Reporter: PLASMA HAS BEEN
CALLED LIQUID GOLD, OFFERING
THOSE WHO ARE SICK
DISEASE-FIGHTING ANTIBODIES FROM
THE BLOOD OF RECOVERED PATIENTS.
IT'S WORKED FOR OTHER DISEASES.
THE QUESTION IS, DOES PLASMA
HELP PATIENTS WITH COVID-19?
SCIENTISTS WITH THE WORLD HEALTH
ORGINISATION SAY THEY DON'T KNOW
YET.
>> THE RESULTS IN SOME CASES
POINT TO SOME BENEFIT, BUT HAVE
NOT BEEN CONCLUSIVE.
AND WE HAVE BEEN TRACKING THIS.
>> Reporter: BUT A DAY AFTER
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP ACCUSED
THE U.S. FOOD AND DRUG
ADMINISTRATION OF DRAGGING THEIR
HEELS, MOVEMENT -- IT'S GIVEN
EMERGENCY APPROVAL TO START
GIVING PLASMA TO MORE
HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS.
>> President Donald Trump:
IT'S BASED ON THE SCIENCE AND
THE DATA THAT THE F.D.A. HAS
MADE THE INDEPENDENT
DETERMINATION THAT THE TREATMENT
IS SAFE
AND VERY EFFECTIVE.
>> Reporter: THAT DATA TRUMP
REFERS TO COMES FROM A STUDY IN
WHICH ALL PATIENTS WERE INFUSED
WITH PLASMA, OFFERING NO
COMPARISON TO SHOW WHETHER IT
WORKED BETTER THAN STANDARD
HOSPITAL CARE.
CANADIAN SCIENTISTS WORRY LIKE
OTHER TREATMENTS THAT PLASMA IS
BECOMING POLITICIZED.
>> HYDROXICHLOROQUINE IS ANOTHER
EXAMPLE.
THERE ARE CERTAINLY OTHER
EXAMPLES WHERE THINGS LOOK
REALLY ENTICING.
>> Reporter: DR. DONALD ARNOLD
IS LEADING CANADA'S LARGEST
PLASMA TRIAL.
HE SAYS WHILE PLASMA WAS USED TO
TREAT PATIENTS DURING THE
SPANISH FLU PANDEMIC AND IT
APPEARS SAFE, IT IS STILL TOO
EARLY TO TELL IF IT'S EFFECTIVE
FOR COVID.
>> WE ARE A LITTLE DESPERATE.
WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF
TREATMENTS TO TREAT COVID.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO ADOPT
THESE WITHOUT ENOUGH DATA.
>> Reporter: RICHARD CARL WAS
THE FIRST COVID PATIENT IN
TORONTO TO DONATE HIS PLASMA TO
THE TRIAL.
INTUITIVELY HE THINKS THAT
PLASMA SHOULD WORK BUT KNOWS
THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.
>> WE'RE LOOKING FOR CERTAINTY,
WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR INTUITION.
WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR
HALF-BAKED.
>> Reporter: HE HOPES THAT
OTHER RECOVERED COVID-19
PATIENTS WILL DONATE THEIR
PLASMA TO HELP TO MAKE SURE THAT
SICK PATIENTS RECEIVE PROVEN
TREATMENTS, NOT EMPTY PROMISES.
CHRISTINE BIRAK, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: BRITISH COLUMBIA
HAS UNFORTUNATELY SET A NEW
PROVINCIAL RECORD WITH 913
ACTIVE COVID-19 CASES.
THIS COMES AS THE PROVINCE
REPORTED 269 NEW CASES OVER THE
WEEKEND.
THAT INCLUDES 109 FROM FRIDAY TO
SATURDAY, THE HIGHEST SINGLE-DAY
JUMP EVER RECORDED IN B.C.
THE PROVINCE HAS RAMPED UP
TESTING CAPACITY TO MEET THE
RECENT SURGE IN DEMAND WITH
ABOUT 5,000 PEOPLE NOW BEING
TESTED EVERY DAY.
>>> MONTRÉAL PUBLIC HEALTH IS
SOUNDING THE ALARM ABOUT A
POSSIBLE COVID OUTBREAK AFTER A
SERIES OF LATIN DANCE EVENTS.
SO FAR THREE PEOPLE HAVE TESTED
POSITIVE, BUT OFFICIALS FEAR
THAT THERE COULD BE MORE AS THE
EVENTS WERE ATTENDED BY UP TO
500 PEOPLE.
THEY'RE ASKING ANYONE WHO WENT
TO ANY OF THE INDOOR OR OUTDOOR
DANCE EVENTS SINCE THE END OF
JULY TO GET TESTED.
>>> AND OFFICIALS IN ALBERTA ARE
TRYING TO CONTAIN AN OUTBREAK
LINKED TO THE LILYDALE CHICKEN
PLANT IN CALGARY.
ALBERTA'S CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER
SAYS THAT THERE ARE CURRENTLY 11
ACTIVE CASES TIED
TO THE PLANT WITH TWO OTHERS
CONSIDERED RECOVERED.
>>> AND SOME PEOPLE IN MANITOBA
ARE DEALING WITH NEW COVID
RESTRICTIONS TONIGHT IN AN
ATTEMPT TO BRING THE VIRUS UNDER
CONTROL THERE.
THE RESTRICTIONS COME AFTER A
WEEKEND OF ALARMING NUMBERS OF
NEW CASES.
KAREN PAULS LAYS IT ALL OUT.
>> Reporter: IN MANITOBA'S
PRAIRIE MOUNTAIN HEALTH REGION,
WHICH INCLUDES THE PROVINCE'S
SECOND LARGEST CITY, SOCIAL
GATHERINGS ARE LIMITED TO 10
PEOPLE INSIDE OR OUT.
AND MASKS ARE MANDATORY IN
PUBLIC PLACES.
ALL FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS.
>> IT'S DIFFICULT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING
WITH WHERE DO I WEAR IT, WHY DO
I HAVE TO WEAR IT.
>> Reporter: IT UNDERLINES
JUST HOW PRECARIOUS VICTORY IS.
>> THIS CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE,
BECAUSE I'M HERE TO TELL YA THAT
OUR COMMUNITY WAS GOLDEN IN
TERMS OF HANDLING THE PANDEMIC,
AND THEN SUDDENLY THIS UPTICK.
>> Reporter: THAT'S THE STORY
IN POCKETS ACROSS THE PROVINCE,
INCLUDING AT A STEINBACH CARE
HOME, AND MORE THAN ONE-THIRD OF
MANITOBA'S
CASES ARE CONNECTED TO WHAT THE
PROVINCE CALLS COMMUNAL LIVING
COMMUNITIES, WHICH INCLUDE
HUTTERITE COLONIES.
>> IN HUTTERITE SOCIETY WE FIND
OURSELVES EXPERIENCING THE SAME
RANGE OF RESPONSES TO COVID-19
THAT ARE IDENTIFIABLE IN EVERY
OTHER SEGMENT OF SOCIETY.
WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN
EAGER TO TAKE THE MEASURES VERY
SERIOUSLY, AND ON THE OTHER END
OF THE SPECTRUM, WE HAVE PEOPLE
WHO THINK THAT COVID IS JUST A
SCAM.
>> Reporter: MANITOBA HAS HAD
FEWER THAN A THOUSAND COVID
CASES, BUT DAILY CASES HAVE BEEN
CLIMBING SINCE MID-JULY.
SO HEALTH OFFICIALS HAVE ALSO
INTRODUCED NEW PROVINCE-WIDE
RULES TODAY.
>> YOU HAVE TO BE VERY NIMBLE
AND RESPONSIVE TO THIS VIRUS.
THINGS CHANGE REALLY QUICK.
>> Reporter: MASKS ARE NOW
MANDATORY AT ALL HEALTH CARE
FACILITIES AND HEALTH OFFICIALS
AREN'T RULING OUT FURTHER
MEASURES.
>> NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN OFF THE
TABLE.
>> Reporter: HEALTH OFFICIALS
SAY THAT THERE'S NO STRAIN ON
THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM YET BUT
THEY ALSO DO EXPECT COVID CASES
TO CONTINUE TO RISE.
JUST IN TIME FOR SCHOOLS TO
REOPEN.
KAREN PAULS, CBC NEWS, WINNIPEG.
>> Adrienne: AND ONE LAST NOTE
ON THE PANDEMIC.
RETIRED JAMAICAN SPRINTER
USAIN BOLT HAS COVID-19.
>> JUST TO BE SAFE, QUARANTINED
BY MYSELF.
AND JUST TAKING IT EASY.
>> Adrienne: THE EIGHT-TIME
OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALLIST POSTED
THAT VIDEO EARLIER TODAY SAYING
THAT HE HAD NO SYMPTOMS AND THAT
HE IS SELF-ISOLATING AS A
PRECAUTION.
THE POSITIVE TEST WAS CONFIRMED
TONIGHT BY JAMAICA'S HEALTH
MINISTRY.
BOLT GOT TESTED AFTER ATTENDING
HIS 34th BIRTHDAY PARTY.
>>> ANTI-GAY STREET PLEACHERS
HAVE BECOME FAMILIAR IN
VANCOUVER'S DAVIE VILLAGE, BUT
POLICE HAVE NOW BANNED THEM
AFTER THEY ALLEGEDLY BROKE A
MAN'S LEG IN AN ALTERCATION.
AS BRIAR STEWART TELLS US,
POLICE ARE TREATING THIS AS A
POTENTIAL HATE CRIME.
>> IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN IN THE
CORNER ON THURLOW AND DAVIE...
>> Reporter: A CROWD IN
VANCOUVER'S WEST END GATHERED
SATURDAY WHEN A MAN WAS TAKEN TO
THE HOSPITAL WITH A BROKEN LEG.
AFTER AN ALTERCATION WITH A
COUPLE OF SO-CALLED STREET
PREACHERS.
>> ATHEISTS UNITE -- UNITE, ALL
OF YOU --
THESE GUYS ARE ALL EVIL.
>> Reporter: THESE ANTI-GAY
SPEECHES THAT RESIDENTS HAVE
BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT ALL
SUMMER.
>> THEY ARE TARGETING THE GAY
COMMUNITY IN THE HEART OF THE
GAY VILLAGE.
>> Reporter: DAN SNYDER TRIED
TO TAKE ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE
PREACHER SATURDAY BY DANCING
NEARBY.
HE SAYS THEIR MESSAGES BLARED
THROUGH SPEAKERS ARE UNWELCOME
IN
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD.
>> THEY ARE TRYING TO PROVOKE A
REACTION AND PASSERSBY IN THIS
COMMUNITY ARE PROVOKED BECAUSE,
HONESTLY, IT IS QUITE
UNSETTLING.
>> Reporter: THE GROUP HAS
POPPED UP IN TORONTO BEFORE, BUT
APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN ACTIVE IN
VANCOUVER THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER.
POLICE SAY THEY HAVE RESPONDED
TO FIVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE
SAME GROUP IN THE PAST FEW
MONTHS.
EARLY SATURDAY EVENING, TWO
PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED AFTER
POLICE SAY THAT A PASSERBY ASKED
THEM TO STOP PREACHING AND A
PUSHING MATCH ENSUED.
JUSTIN MORRISSETTE WAS THAT
PASSERBY.
HE TWEETED, "I STOOD UP TO THE
ANTI-GAY BULLIES IN THE WEST END
THIS EVENING, AND THEY PURPOSELY
BROKE MY LEG FOR THE TROUBLE."
HE NEEDED SURGERY.
ONE OF THE PREACHERS TOOK TO
YouTube TO OFFER HIS VERSION
OF EVENTS.
>> HE SNATCHED THE MIC OUT OF MY
HAND, FORCEFULLY SNATCHED IT AND
PUSHED ME
OUT OF THE WAY.
>> Reporter: POLICE HAVE
CHARGES AGAINST THE PREACHERS
AND THERE COULD STILL BE MORE.
>> NO MATTER HOW DISGUSTING OR
INTOLERABLE THOSE ACTS ARE, WE
STILL HAVE TO GIVE THEM A RIGHT
TO FREEDOM.
WE ARE INVESTIGATING TO SEE IF
THEY CROSSED THAT LINE AND THIS
BECAME CRIMINAL.
THAT'S WHERE OUR HATE CRIME
INVESTIGATORS ARE STEPPING IN.
>> Reporter: BUT FOR NOW
POLICE HAVE BANNED THEM FROM
PREACHING IN THAT AREA OF THE
CITY.
BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS,

SHOOTER BEGAN.
KATIE NICHOLSON TAKES US INSIDE
OF

SURVIVORS CAME FACE-TO-FACE WITH
THE MAN WHO STOLE SO MUCH FROM

I SAW THE MOMENT WHEN I WAS THE
TARGET OF HIS GUN.
I WAS SHOT NINE TIMES.
>> Reporter: IN MARCH 2019,
BRENTON TARRANT'S SHOOTING
RAMPAGE ON TWO MOSQUES TOOK 51
LIVES AND INJURED DOZENS AND
LEFT FAMILIES AND HEARTS BROKEN.
>> I COULDN'T IMAGINE HOW MY
BELOVED ATA FELT AT THE MOMENT
OF THE ATTACK.
HOW HE FACED THE SHOOTER WITH
HIS CHEST AND ONLY WITH HIS
COURAGE.
>> Reporter: THE COURT HEARD
HOW THE SHOOTER STUDIED THE
FLOOR PLAN TO THE MOSQUES HE
TARGETED AND EVEN FLEW A DRONE
OVER ONE.
THE CROWN ALSO LAID HIS MOTIVE
BARE.
>> HE INTENDED TO INSTILL FEAR
INTO THOSE THAT HE DESCRIBED AS
INVADERS.

UNITY.
NOW THE COUNTRY THAT CAME
TOGETHER TO MOURN THE DEAD AND
TAKE A STAND AGAINST HATE IS
AGAIN RALLYING BEHIND ITS MUSLIM
COMMUNITY.
>> I JUST HOPE LIKE CRAZY THAT
HE GETS NO PAROLE.
>> WE ARE HERE FOR YOU AND YOUR
FAMILIES AND WE ARE HERE FOR
YOU.
SENDING OUR LOVE.
>> IT WAS MY SON, ATA.
>> Reporter: NEW ZEALAND
ABOLISHED THE DEATH PENALTY FOR
MURDER IN 1961, BUT THE SHOOTER
COULD BE THE FIRST PERSON IN THE

FULL LIFE TERM WITH NO PAROLE.
>> MAY YOU GET THE SEVEREST
PUNISHMENT FOR YOUR EVIL ACT IN

SCHOOL TODAY BY FLIPPING ON THE
TV.
CLASSES ARE BEING BROADCAST 24
HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK,
FROM PRESCHOOL ON UP.
THE HOPE IS TO REACH NEARLY
EVERY KID THIS WAY AS MOST HOMES
HAVE TELEVISION, BUT ONLY 56% OF
MEXICAN HOUSEHOLDS HAVE
INTERNET.
WELL, HERE IN CANADA AS THE
SCHOOL YEAR DRAWS NEARER IN MUCH
OF THE COUNTRY, MANY PARENTS ARE
STILL DECIDING BETWEEN IN-CLASS
OR ONLINE LEARNING.
AND SOME ARE LOOKING AT ANOTHER
OPTION.
BONNIE ALLEN NOW ON THE SURGE
AND THE INTEREST ABOUT
HOMESCHOOLING.
>> Reporter: SOMETHING AS
SIMPLE AS A WALK IN THE WOODS
CAN BE A SCIENCE CLASS AND A
MUSIC LESSON.
>> BLOW HARD LIKE A TRUMPET.
>> Reporter: MONIQUE WILLINS
IS A FORMER PUBLIC SCHOOLTEACHER
WHO
LEFT THE CLASSROOM SEVEN YEARS
AGO TO HOMESCHOOL HER CHILDREN.
>> I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY
THAT I COULD NEVER HOMESCHOOL.
MY KIDS AND I WOULD JUST BUTT
HEADS ALL THE TIME.
PATIENCE IS NOT SOMETHING THAT
IS A REQUIREMENT,
IT'S SOMETHING THAT GROWS AM.
>> Reporter: LESS THAN 1% OF
CANADIAN CHILDREN ARE
HOMESCHOOLED BUT INTEREST IS
SURGING.
WILLINS RUNS A FACEBOOK GROUP
CALLED
"SUDDENLY HOMESCHOOLING."
>> THE FLOOD OF QUESTIONS HAS
BEEN CONSTANT.
I COULD EASILY SPEND EIGHT HOURS
A DAY JUST ANSWERING QUESTIONS.
>> Reporter: IT'S MORE THAN
JUST SUPERVISING VIRTUAL
LEARNING.
IN HOMESCHOOLING, PARENTS BECOME
THE TEACHERS AND MUST FIND OR
CREATE LESSON PLANS.
IT'S MORE TIME INTENSIVE, MORE
RESPONSIBILITY, BUT IT ALSO
MEANS
MORE CONTROL AND FLEXIBILITY.
AT FIRST THIS STAY-AT-HOME MOM
WAS NERVOUS TO GIVE IT A SHOT.
>> I JUST BELIEVED THAT YOU HAD
TO BE SUPER MOM.
I THOUGHT THAT YOU HAD TO BE
RIDICULOUSLY SMART, YOU NEEDED
TO BE VERY FINANCIALLY WELL OFF.
YOU NEEDED TO KNOW ALL OF THE
BEST CURRICULUMS THAT THERE WERE
AND BE HYPER DISCIPLINED.
>> Reporter: BUT TWYLA
MacDOUGALL SAYS THAT SHE
DISCOVERED THAT IT'S NOT AS
DIFFICULT AS SHE HAD THOUGHT.
>> WE CAN HAVE FUN AND BE
TOGETHER AS A FAMILY.
IT'S A REAL GIFT.
>> Reporter: SOME PROVINCES
SET A LOOSE CRITERIA FOR
HOMESCHOOLING, SOME ASK FOR
EDUCATION PLANS, BUT GENERAL
THREE THERE'S VERY LITTLE
REGULATION OR ENFORCEMENT.
SOME CRITICS SAY THAT THE LACK
OF OVERSIGHT IS ALARMING.
>> THERE ARE HOUSEHOLDS WHERE
PARENTS ARE COMPLETELY
NEGLECTFUL AND THEY TEND TO BE
HOMESCHOOLING BUT KIDS ARE JUST
WATCHING TV ALL DAY.
>> Reporter: MacDOUGALL SAY
THAT MOST PARENTS WITH THE TIME
AND RESOURCES WILL DO JUST FINE.
>> I REALLY BELIEVE THAT ANYBODY
CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
>> Reporter: AND WHILE MANY
PARENTS FEEL ANXIOUS ABOUT THE
NEW SCHOOL YEAR, THESE
HOMESCHOOLERS DO NOT.
>> I AM EXCITED AND WE HAVE A
LOT OF PEACE.
>> Reporter: BONNIE ALLEN, CBC
NEWS, REGINA.
>> Adrienne: OF COURSE, MANY
CANADIAN CHILDREN WILL BE
HEADING BACK TO THE BRICKS AND
MORTAR OF SCHOOLS.
FOR A HINT OF WHAT IS TO COME
WE ONLY NEED TO LOOK NORTH.
LAURA HOWELLSS HAS THE STORY
FROM
WHITEHORSE WHERE KIDS ARE
ALREADY BACK TO SCHOOL.
>> Reporter: NOW THAT NELDA IS
ALL SET TO START GRADE FOUR,
SHE'S WEARING HER FAVOURITE
UNICORN MASK.
>> MY FAVOURITE MASK.
>> Reporter: NELDA IS ONE OF
THE THOUSANDS OF YUKON STUDENTS
ALREADY BACK IN SCHOOL WITH
MASKS AND A LOT MORE DISTANCE.
KIDS AND ADULTS ARE EXCITED AND
ANXIOUS.
>> WITH THIS COVID-19, I'M STILL
KIND OF, YOU KNOW, AS A
MOTHER --
>> REALLY GOOD TO HAVE THE KIDS
BACK AND THEY'RE A BIT NERVOUS
AND NOT SURE HOW EVERYTHING WILL
GO.
>> I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR A LOT
OF PEOPLE I KNOW.
IT'S ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT FOR
THE PAST WEEK.
>> Reporter: A LOT OF THINGS
ARE VERY DIFFERENT THIS YEAR.
HERE AT ELIJAH SMITH ELEMENTARY
PRINCIPAL JEFF CRESSMAN WON'T
LET YOU IN WITHOUT A SQUIRT OF
HAND SANITIZER.
BIG RED ARROWS LEAD TO DESKS
NEARLY TWO METRES APART.
OR TO THIS CLASSROOM FULL OF
SHOWER CURTAINS.
>> BUT THE TEACHERS AND THE
LIAISES ARE MINDFUL THAT EVERY
STUDENT IS A DIFFERENT LEARNER
AND THEY'RE NOT ALL GOING TO BE
ABLE TO SIT IN A DESK SPACED SIX
FEET APART ALL DAY.
>> Reporter: ALL OVER THE
HALLS POSTERS REMIND STUDENTS TO
KEEP THEIR DISTANCE AND WASH
THEIR HANDS.
>> IT'S NOT GOING TO BE PEOPLE
YELLING AT A KID IF THEY HAPPEN
TO GIVE YOU A HUG.
>> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT OF
THE YUKON TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION
HOPES THAT THIS NEW YEAR WILL GO
SMOOTHLY.
>> IT'S WORRISOME BECAUSE WE'RE
THE FIRST DOING.
AND I AM HOPING THAT OTHER
JURISDICTIONS
LEARN FROM WHAT WE ARE DOING.
WE NEEDED TO DIVE IN AND TO TRY
AND PUT OUR PLANS INTO PLACE AND
TO DISCOVER WHAT'S WORKING.
I'D RATHER KNOW BY THE END OF
TOMORROW WHAT'S NOT WORKING, SO
THAT WE CAN IMPLEMENT IT ON
MONDAY.
>> Reporter: SO HOW WAS THE
FIRST DAY?
>> IT WAS STRANGE.
>> Reporter: SAMANTHA KIRBY
CAN'T PLAY THE TRUMPET IN BAND.
WIND INSTRUMENTS AND SINGING ARE
NOT ALLOWED.
>> THE ONLY THINGS THAT WE'RE
ALLOWED TO PLAY RIGHT NOW IN THE
SCHOOL BAND IS DRUMS AND STRINGS 
STRINGS.
>> IT IS FRUSTRATING, HONESTLY.
GRADE EIGHT WAS A LOT EASIER
BEING ABLE TO WALK AROUND AND
TALK TO PEOPLE AND GO OUT TO
LUNCH IN THE ATRIUM.
AND NOW WE JUST HAVE TO SIT DOWN 
AND WE CAN'T REALLY MOVE A LOT
OF THE TIME.
>> WE HAD TO SPREAD OUT AND
STUFF AND WEAR MASKS.
IT'S JUST SUPER TIGHT SCHEDULE.
>> IT'S A CHANGE.
BUT WE'LL ADAPT.
>> Reporter: WE'LL ADAPT.
MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON
OF THIS PANDEMIC SCHOOL YEAR.
LAURA HOWELLS, CBC NEWS,
WHITEHORSE.
>> Adrienne: COMING UP, WE PUT
YOUR COVID-19 QUESTIONS TO THE
DOCTOR, INCLUDING THIS ONE --
DOES BOOSTING MY IMMUNITY WITH
GOOD NUTRITION AND SUPPLEMENTS
DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE WHETHER I
GET COVID-19 OR HOW SEVERE THE
SYMPTOMS WILL BE?
THAT ANSWER RIGHT AFTER THE
BREAK.
(*)
(*)
>> Adrienne: ALL RIGHT,
WELCOME BACK.
TIME NOW FOR YOUR COVID-19
QUESTIONS.
AND JOINING ME TONIGHT IS
INFECTIOUS DISEASES SPECIALIST
DR. SUSY HOTA.
SO, DR. HOTA, LET'S GET RIGHT TO 
THE QUESTIONS.
WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD ROUTINE FOR
KIDS TO FOLLOW AFTER THEY COME
HOME FROM SCHOOL?
>> SO THE FIRST THING THEY NEED
TO DO IS TO REMOVE THEIR JACKET
AND THEIR BOOTS OR SHOES.
AND THEN THEY SHOULD DEFINITELY
WASH THEIR HANDS AFTER THAT.
OF COURSE, I WOULD ALSO WANT
THEM TO REMEMBER THE MASKS THEY
USED ALL DAY LONG,
THAT NEEDS TO GO INTO THE
LAUNDRY HAMPER IMMEDIATELY TOO.
AFTER YOU HANDLE YOUR MASK, YOU
NEED TO WASH YOUR HANDS AGAIN.
BEYOND THAT I DON'T THINK THAT
WE HAVE A RITUAL THAT KIDS HAVE
TO GO THROUGH WHEN THEY GET HOME
FROM SCHOOL.
>> Adrienne: OKAY, IT'S
ALREADY HARD ENOUGH FOR THEM,
ALL OF THESE CHANGES.
THIS NEXT ONE IS KIND OF
INTERESTING --
DOES BOOSTING MY IMMUNITY WITH
GOOD NUTRITION AND SUPPLEMENTS
DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE WHETHER I
GET COVID-19 OR HOW SEVERE IT
IS?
>> SO AT THIS POINT WE DON'T
HAVE ANY MEDICAL EVIDENCE THAT
ANY SUPPLEMENTS OR FOODS OR
TYPES OF DIETS WILL ACTUALLY
REDUCE YOUR CHANCES OF GETTING
THE COVID-19 INFECTION OR A LESS
SEVERE FORM OF IT IF YOU DO GET
INFECTED.
WITHOUT THAT BEING SAID, I WOULD
SAY THAT
IT'S STILL VERY IMPORTANT FOR TO
US HAVE A BALANCED DIET AND TO
TAKE CARE OF OUR HEALTH.
SO EXERCISE, AND SLEEP REALLY
WELL.
THIS IS NOT A TIME FOR US TO BE,
YOU KNOW, FALLING ILL FOR OTHER
REASONS.
BUT ALSO THE SYMPTOMS OF
COVID-19 COULD OVERLAP WITH A
LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT ARE
QUITE VAGUE.
SO YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO RISK
WAKING UP IN THE MORNING WITH A
HEADACHE BECAUSE YOU HAD A POOR
NIGHT'S SLEEP AND WONDER IF THIS
COULD BE THE BEGINNINGS OF A
COVID-19 INFECTION.
>> Adrienne: OKAY.
SO THIS ONE -- ARE MOUTH SHIELDS
A GOOD ALTERNATIVE TO WEARING
MASKS?
I'M STARTING TO SEE A LOT MORE
OF THESE.
THEY'RE SORT OF CLEAR PLASTIC,
THEY SEEM TO COVER THE MOUTH, A
BIT OPEN JUST ABOVE THE NOSE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THEM?
>> I DON'T THINK THAT THEY'RE A
REALLY GOOD ALTERNATIVE AT ALL.
SO THESE HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED FOR
THE FOOD AND SERVICE INDUSTRY.
SO REALLY NOT STUDIED OR THEY
WERE NOT DESIGNED FOR THIS
PURPOSE AT ALL.
SO THEY'RE QUITE OPEN AT THE TOP
AND THERE'S A LOT OF
OPPORTUNITIES FOR DROPLETS TO
GET IN.
THEY'RE NOT AT ALL CLOSE
FITTING TO THE FACE LIKE A MASK
WOULD BE.
SO I WOULD AVOID USING THEM.
IF YOU NEED AN ALTERNATIVE, A
FULL FACE SHIELD IS ALWAYS A
BETTER CHOICE.
>> Adrienne: OKAY.
INSTEAD OF WASHING MY CLOTH
MASK, CAN I JUST DOUSE THEM WITH
LYSOL SPRAY?
THAT SOUNDS A LITTLE SCARY.
>> YES, THAT SOUNDS RISKY
INDEED.
I MEAN, LYSOL HAS A NUMBER OF
CHEMICALS IN THEM THAT HAS NO
BUSINESS BEING BY YOUR MOUTH OR
NOSE.
I WOULD NOT THINK THAT IS A SAFE
OPTION AT ALL.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO CLEAN
YOUR MASK IS TO WASH IT IN HOT
WATER.
IF YOUR DRYER IS WORKING, EVEN
THE HEAT OF THE DRYER WOULD HELP
TO DESTROY ANY OF THE MICROBES
THAT WOULD BE ON IT.
NOW IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ACCESS
TO THOSE OPPORTUNITIES, THEN THE
W.H.O. SAYS THAT YOU CAN BOIL
YOUR MASK IN HOT WATER, IN
BOILING WATER FOR A MINUTE,
AFTER YOU HAVE WASHED IT WITH
SOAP AND DETERGENT AND WATER.
>> Adrienne: THAT'S A GOOD
TIP.
LAST ONE HERE -- HOW CAN I
SAFELY STORE MASKS TO REUSE THEM
THROUGHOUT THE DAY?
WE GET THIS ONE ALL THE TIME.
>> YES.
AND YOU'VE GOT A FEW OPTIONS
THERE.
SO YOU CAN EITHER FIND A
DESIGNATED CLEAN SURFACE THAT
YOU CAN PLACE A TOWEL OR A
NAPKIN ON.
AND THEN PLACE YOUR MASK WITH
THE OUTSIDE PART OF IT DOWN.
OR HAVE A TUPPERWARE OR
SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN PLACE
YOUR MASK IN, OR EVEN PUTTING IT
ON A HOOK SO THAT IT'S NOT
TOUCHING OTHER THINGS.
FINALLY, IF YOU'RE MOVING FROM
PLACE TO PLACE AND YOU NEED TO
STORE YOUR MASK, HAVING IT IN A
PLASTIC OR A PAPER BAG THAT IS
DISPOSABLE IS ALSO AN OPTION.
SO FOLD YOUR MASK IN HALF WITH
THE OUTSIDE SURFACE ON THE
OUTSIDE AND DROP IT INTO THAT
BAG WITH THE EAR LOOPS UP SO YOU
CAN EASILY ACCESS IT AGAIN AND
TOUCHING THE CLEAN SIDE OF IT.
>> Adrienne: ALL RIGHT,
DR. HOTA, AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU
VERY MUCH.
>> YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.
>> Adrienne: AS YOU KNOW THAT
WE'RE ASKING YOUR QUESTIONS AS
OFTEN AS POSSIBLE.
MESSAGE US DIRECTLY ON INSTAGRAM
AT @CBCTHENATIONAL.
OR SEND US AN EMAIL AT
COVID@CBC.CA.
>>> MORE THAN 9100 CANADIANS
HAVE DIED FROM COVID-19 AND WE
ARE COMMITTED TO TELLING AS MANY
OF THEIR STORIES AS WE CAN.
THE HEARTS THEY HAVE TOUCHED AND
THE HISTORY THEY HAVE LIVED.
THAT HISTORY DOESN'T ALWAYS SHOW
CANADA AT ITS BEST.
TONIGHT A SON REMEMBERS HIS
MOTHER, A WOMAN WHO BRAVED
DISCRIMINATION AND PERSECUTION
HERE TO FORGE A FUTURE AND TO
MAKE A FAMILY.
>> MY NAME IS TRUMA.
ON MAY 9, I LOST MY MOTHER TO
COVID-19.
SHE WAS 87.
SHE WAS BORN IN VANCOUVER, 1932.
SHE WAS THE YOUNGEST OF FOUR
DAUGHTERS AND HAD A FAIRLY
LOVING AND CAREFREE CHILDHOOD
UNTIL WORLD WAR II.
THAT'S WHEN THE RCMP BEGAN
ROUNDING UP JAPANESE-CANADIANS
AND FORCING THEM INTO INTERNMENT
CAMPS.
MY GRANDMOTHER SAW HOW
BUSINESSES AND HOMES AND
POSSESSIONS WERE BEING
CONFISCATED AND SOLD OFF.
SHE VOWED THAT THIS WOULD NOT
HAPPEN TO THE FAMILY HEIRLOOMS,
SO SHE BOARDED A BOAT AND SHE
AND GENE RODE OUT
INTO THE PACIFIC AND THEY PUT MY
GRANDFATHER'S SAMURAI ARMOUR
INTO A CANVAS BAG, HIS SWORD AND
TWO PEARL-HANDLED PISTOLS AND
DUMPED THEM OVERBOARD.
DESPITE RACISM, AND SEXISM OF
THE TIME, SHE MANAGED TO
GRADUATE FROM THE ONTARIO
VETERINARIAN COLLEGE IN GUELPH
AND THAT'S WHERE SHE MET HER
HUSBAND, BOSH DOUGLAS.
THEY WERE MARRIED FOR 62 YEARS
AND THEY HAD FOUR CHILDREN
TOGETHER.
EARLY IN HER CAREER, MY MOTHER
WAS MANAGER OF THE INFECTIOUS
DISEASES LAB FOR THE MINISTRY OF
HEALTH OF ONTARIO.
SHE OFTEN MENTIONED HOW SHE
LOVED TRACKING DISEASES AND
DEVELOPING VACCINES.
IT'S KIND OF IRONIC.
I HAVE MANY FOND AND LOVING
MEMORIES OF MY MOM.
BUT THE ONE THAT REALLY COMES TO
MIND IS THE TIME SHE INVITED ME
ON A ROAD TRIP TO FLORIDA.
AND WHEN WE GOT THERE TO THE
BEACH, SHE JUST WALKED INTO THE
WATER
AND SHE STARTED SWIMMING AND
SWIMMING UNTIL SHE WAS
COMPLETELY OUT OF SIGHT.
I WAS REALLY ALARMED.
BUT SHE RETURNED IN ABOUT AN
HOUR AND SHE WAS ALIVE AND
KICKING, AND SHE WAS 83 AT THE
TIME.
MOM, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL
OF THE SELFLESS LOVE THAT YOU
GAVE US ALL OF OUR LIVES.
WE MISS YOUR LIGHT AND YOUR
SMILE EVERY DAY.
WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
>> Adrienne: SO MANY CANADIANS
CONTINUE TO DIE AFTER
CONTRACTING COVID-19.
WE'VE GATHERED MANY OF THEIR
STORIES ONLINE.
YOU CAN FIND THEM AT
CBC.CA/REMEMBERED.
>>> STILL AHEAD, IN THE WAKE OF
YET ANOTHER SHOOTING OF A BLACK
MAN AT THE HANDS OF POLICE, WE
REVISIT HOW YOUNG BLACK
CANADIANS ARE FEELING ABOUT THIS
MOMENT.
THEIR STORIES WHEN WE COME BACK.
(*)
>> Adrienne: THE KILLING OF
GEORGE FLOYD WAS FAR FROM THE
FIRST CASE OF POLICE VIOLENCE
AGAINST A BLACK MAN CAUGHT ON
VIDEO, AND IT WOULDN'T BE THE
LAST.
A FEW WEEKS LATER IT WAS
RAYSHARD BROOKS, SHOT IN THE
BACK WHILE FLEEING ATLANTA
POLICE.
AND NOW ANOTHER TERRIBLE VIDEO
SHOWING JOSEPH BLAKE OF
WISCONSIN, SHOT IN THE BACK BY
OFFICERS NEAR HIS CAR.
THE EVENTS THEMSELVES, THE GRIM
REPETITION, THIS IS ALL HARD FOR
ANYONE CONCERNED ABOUT SYSTEMIC
RACISM TO WATCH, BUT FOR SOME IT
CUTS SO MUCH DEEPER.
EARLIER THIS SUMMER "THE
NATIONAL" SPOKE WITH YOUNG BLACK
CANADIANS ABOUT HOW SEEING
GEORGE FLOYD'S KILLING AFFECTED
THEM.
>> I AM PAYTON TATE AND I'M AGED
13.
WHEN I SAW GEORGE FLOYD WAS
KILLED I WAS UPSET, AGGRAVATED
AND AFRAID.
>> MY NAME IS NANCY OCORO AND
I'M 13 YEARS OLD.
I THINK THAT IT WAS VERY
SHOCKING AND SADDENING TO SEE
SOMEONE DIE BY THE AUTHORITIES
AND PEOPLE THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO
BE PROTECTING US WHEN HE WASN'T
RESISTING AND THEY STILL WENT
AHEAD TO KILL HIM.
>> MY NAME IS JOSIAH MESSAM AND
I AM 13 YEARS OLD.
MY REACTION TO GEORGE FLOYD'S
DEATH WAS IT WAS A MIX BETWEEN
ANGER AND SADNESS THAT THINGS
THAT GO ON TODAY THAT SHOULD
HAVE ENDED A LONG TIME AGO AND
STILL HAPPEN.
(*)
>> WHEN I SEE THE PROTESTS, I
FEEL KIND OF LIKE A SENSE OF JOY
AND I BELIEVE THAT THE
PROTESTERS ARE DOING SOMETHING
GREAT.
AND THAT IT'S GOOD THAT THEY'RE
UPSET ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON.
BECAUSE IF THEY WEREN'T UPSET,
THEN NOTHING WOULD EVER CHANGE
AND WE'D ALL -- IT WOULD JUST BE
A CYCLE REPEATING ITSELF OVER
AND OVER AGAIN.
>> I WAS PROUD OF THE PEOPLE
THAT DECIDED TO TAKE A CHANCE
AND STAND UP FOR WHAT THEY
BELIEVE IS RIGHT.
AND I RESPECT THE PEOPLE THAT
ARE IN THE PROTESTS, MAKING
THEIR VOICE TO BE HEARD.
>> IT MADE ME HAPPY TO SEE A LOT
OF PEOPLE UNITING THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD OF DIFFERENT COLOUR,
SHOWING THEIR SUPPORT OF ALL
LIVES MATTER AND BLACK LIVES
MATTER TOO.
(*)
>> WHEN PEOPLE SEE ME, I WANT
THEM TO KNOW THAT I'M BLACK AND
I'M HERE AND I'M PROUD TO BE
BLACK.
AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH
ME FOR BEING BLACK.
I WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT JUST
BECAUSE I'M BLACK DOESN'T MAKE
ME A CRIMINAL.
AND IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I HAVE
ILL INTENTIONS TOWARDS ANYBODY
JUST BECAUSE OF THE COLOUR OF
YOUR SKIN.
>> I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT I
AM KIND AND I CAN BE A FRIEND
AND THAT I DON'T POSE ANY THREAT
TO THEM IN ANY WAY.
>> I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT
I'M A STRONG BLACK MAN.
I AM NOT SCARY OR ANYTHING.
I DON'T STEAL.
I DON'T DO ANYTHING BAD.
AND STOP JUDGING ME WHEN YOU SEE
ME.
>> JUST BECAUSE YOU LIKE A BLACK
LIVES MATTER POST DOESN'T MEAN
THAT YOU'RE PART OF THE CAUSE.
IT MEANS THAT YOU LIKE TO POST.
THERE'S OTHER THINGS THAT YOU
COULD DO THAT WOULD BE MUCH MORE
HELPFUL TO FIX THE CAUSE AND TO
CHANGE THE SYSTEM ALL TOGETHER.
(*)
>> I FEEL LIKE I DON'T HAVE A
VOICE, WELL, MOSTLY BECAUSE OF
MY AGE AND WHO I AM.
LIKE, WHO I AM AS A PERSON.
BUT I KNOW THAT IF I DO TRY TO
DO SOMETHING I COULD MAKE A
DIFFERENCE WITHIN MY
NEIGHBOURHOOD.
(*)
>> PEOPLE LIKE US, PEOPLE OF
COLOUR, THEY DON'T REALLY GET
THE SAME CHANCES AS MY OTHER
FRIENDS DO.
THEY DON'T REALLY GET THE SAME
OPTIONS.
AND IT MAKES CONVERSATIONS
HARDER FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T
REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE
GOING THROUGH.
PEOPLE SEE MY SKIN COLOUR AND
ASSUME STUFF ABOUT ME AND MAKE
JUDGMENTS RIGHT AWAY, I CAN'T
REALLY CHANGE THEIR MIND.
>> Adrienne: UP NEXT, A
MESSAGE FROM A DIFFERENT ERIN
O'TOOLE.
>> I'M PROBABLY NOT THE ERIN
O'TOOLE THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
>> Adrienne: NOPE, THE
POST-LEADERSHIP CONVENTION
TWEETS ACCIDENTALLY DIRECTED AT
THIS AMERICAN WOMAN.
HER VERY CANADIAN DAY IS NEXT IN
OUR "MOMENT."
(*)
(*)
>> Adrienne: SO THIS IS A
TWEET FROM ERIN O'TOOLE SETTING
THE RECORD STRAIGHT AS "SHE"
NOTE THERE IS IN HEAR MESSAGE --
SHE
MAY NOT BE THE ERIN O'TOOLE THAT
YOU'RE THINKING OF.
SO THIS ERIN O'TOOLE WORKS FOR
AN NPR AFFILIATE IN COLORADO.
UNTIL THIS MORNING SHE DIDN'T
KNOW THAT SHE HAD A CANADIAN
FAMOUS NAME TWIN UNTIL A BUNCH
OF CANADIANS STARTED BLOWING UP
HER TWITTER.
NOW SHE'S TAKING IT IN STRIDE
AND THIS IS OUR "MOMENT."
(*)
>> THE DAY WAS DEFINITELY NOT
THE WAY THAT I THOUGHT THEY
WOULD WAKE UP
TODAY, BUT HERE WE ARE.
ALL OF A SUDDEN MY MENTIONS
STARTED BLOWING UP, I THINK IS
THE TERM.
EARLY IN THE MORNING I POSTED A
TWEET THAT JUST SAID, HI, I SEE
I HAVE A COUPLE NEW FRIENDS IN
CANADA.
YOU KNOW, I'M PROBABLY NOT THE
ERIN O'TOOLE THAT YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR.
AND AT THAT POINT I STARTED
GETTING A LOT OF MESSAGES LIKE,
YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE LIKE YOU
BETTER.
DO YOU WANT TO MOVE TO CANADA,
DO YOU WANT TO RUN FOR OFFICE,
DO YOU WANT TO RUN FOR PRIME
MINISTER?
AND I JUST WANT TO PUT IT OUT
THERE RIGHT NOW, I LOVE CANADA
AND WOULD HAPPILY MOVE THERE,
BUT I'M NOT QUALIFIED TO BE A
PRIME MINISTER OR ANYTHING ELSE.
WHAT I HAVE LOVED ABOUT TODAY
AND WHAT I HAVE ALREADY KNOWN
BUT HAS BEEN REINFORCED TODAY IS
THAT WE ALL SHARE THIS SENSE OF
CURIOSITY AND FRIENDLINESS AND
CIVIL DISCOURSE.
IT'S NOT DEAD.
AND IF YOU THINK THAT IT IS,
THINK AGAIN.
BECAUSE IT IS ALIVE AND WELL.
AT LEAST ON TWITTER.
>> Adrienne: OKAY, SO ERIN
O'TOOLE HAD A GOOD DAY, BOTH OF
THEM HAD GOOD DAYS.
BUT THIS ERIN O'TOOLE SAYS THAT
SHE'S BEEN OFFERED TODAY MAPLE
SYRUP AND MOOSE JERKY AND
KETCHUP CHIPS AND SHE HAD NO
IDEA THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY A
THING.
SHE HASN'T BEEN TO CANADA SINCE
SHE WAS A KID.
TIME TO COME BACK --
NOT NOW -- COVID -- BUT
EVENTUALLY.
>>> THAT IS "THE NATIONAL" FOR
AUGUST 24th.
GOOD NIGHT.
