>> Adrienne: GOOD EVENING, I'M 
ADRIENNE ARSENAULT.
ANDREW IS OFF.
TONIGHT, HE DISMISSED THE RISK 
OF COVID-19.
NOW THE PRESIDENT OF BRAZIL IS 
INFECTED.
STILL, JAIR BOLSONARO IS 
DEFIANT.
>> WE ARE ALL VULNERABLE TO THIS
VIRUS. 
>> Adrienne: AS THE PANDEMIC 
SURGES, SOME COUNTRIES LOCK DOWN
AGAIN.
>>> TORONTO AND OTTAWA MAKE 
MASKS MANDATORY. 
>> I'M GRATEFUL THAT THEY HAVE 
DONE IT, FINALLY. 
>> Adrienne: SHOULD OTHER CITIES
DO THE SAME?
CRACKING DOWN ON FOREIGN PUPPY 
MILLS, CANADA BANS IMPORTS FROM 
UKRAINE, BUT IS IT ENOUGH?
>> I'D LIKE TO SEE WHERE CANADA 
PLANS TO MAKE THE CHANGES 
PERMANENT. 
>> Adrienne: WILL WE EVER SHAKE 
HANDS AGAIN?
SO ARE YOU PREPARED TO NOT SHAKE
HANDS FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS, 
POSSIBLY?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> Adrienne: WHAT'S LOST ABOUT 
THAT SIMPLE HUMAN GESTURE?
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
*
*
>> Adrienne: CANADA'S FIGHT 
AGAINST COVID-19 IS GENERALLY 
GOING WELL, BUT LOOK BEYOND OUR 
BORDERS AND THE GLOBAL PICTURE'S
TROUBLING.
FOR THE WORLD HEALTH 
ORGANIZATION TODAY, A WARNING 
THAT WE ARE NOWHERE NEAR THE 
END.
>> THE OUTBREAK IS ACCELERATING,
AND WE HAVE CLEARLY NOT REACHED 
THE PEAK OF THE PANDEMIC.
>> Adrienne: SOME PARTS OF THE 
WORLD THAT WERE OPENING UP ARE 
NOW SHUTTING DOWN AGAIN AS CASES
SURGE.
OF PARTICULAR CONCERN, LATIN 
AMERICA, WHERE THE W.H.O. SAYS 
BOTH CASES AND DEATHS ARE 
RISING.
AND THERE TODAY A VERY HIGH 
PROFILE POSITIVE CASE.
BRAZIL'S PRESIDENT, JAIR 
BOLSONARO.
NOW BRAZIL HAS THE 
SECOND-HIGHEST CASE COUNT IN THE
WORLD, 1.6 MILLION AND COUNTING.
BOLSONARO HAS BEEN DOWNPLAYING 
THE RISK OF THIS VIRUS SINCE THE
START, AND AS BRIAR STEWART 
SHOWS US, HIS DIAGNOSIS HASN'T 
CHANGED THAT.
>> Reporter: EVEN AS JAIR 
BOLSONARO CONFIRMED HE HAD 
COVID-19, THE BRAZILIAN 
PRESIDENT TOOK OFF HIS MASK AND 
BOASTED.
YOU CAN SEE FROM MY FACE THAT 
I'M WELL, HE SAID, FOR THOSE WHO
WANT TO GO GET CHECKED, YOU 
WON'T HAVE A PROBLEM.
IT'S HARDLY SURPRISING THAT 
BOLSONARO HAS TESTED POSITIVE 
FOR THE VIRUS.
IT'S RAVAGING BRAZIL, AND THE 
PRESIDENT HAS BEEN DISMISSING 
THE RISK FOR MONTHS.
[ Crowd Noise ]
MINGLING IN LARGE CROWDS AND 
URGING BRAZILIANS TO GO BACK TO 
WORK.
[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]
HE PREVIOUSLY SAID THAT GIVEN 
HIS HISTORY OF ATHLETICISM, IF 
HE WERE TO BE INFECTED, HE 
WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY.
TODAY OFFICIALS WITH THE WORLD 
HEALTH ORGANIZATION, WHICH 
BOLSONARO HAS LABELLED AS 
INCOMPETENT, WISHED HIM WELL. 
>> THE VIRUS DOESN'T REALLY KNOW
WHO WE ARE, WHETHER WE'RE PRINCE
OR PAUPER.
WE ARE EQUALLY VULNERABLE.
>> Reporter: BOLSONARO STARTED 
FEELING ILL ON SUNDAY.
ONE DAY AFTER, HE SOCIALIZED 
WITH THE U.S. AMBASSADOR DURING 
JULY 4 CELEBRATIONS.
HE SAYS HE'S TAKING 
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE, A DRUG WHICH
HASN'T BEEN PROVEN TO BE 
EFFECTIVE AGAINST THE VIRUS.
IN FRONT OF HIS RESIDENCE TODAY,
THERE WAS A SHOW OF SUPPORT, BUT
ON THE STREET, SOME WEREN'T 
SYMPATHETIC.
HE SAID IT WAS A LITTLE FLU, AND
NOW HE HAS TO LIVE WITH HIS 
LITTLE FLU, SAID THIS MAN.
BOLSONARO, EVER CONFIDENT AND 
CONFRONTATIONAL, HAS POLARIZED 
THE COUNTRY.
HIS SUPPORTERS ADORE HIM, BUT 
OTHERS PROTEST HIS HANDLING OF 
THE PANDEMIC.
IN THE SPRING HE FIRED ONE 
HEALTH MINISTER AND ANOTHER ONE 
RESIGNED.
>> I THINK FROM A PUBLIC HEALTH 
POINT OF VIEW IT'S VERY WORRYING
BECAUSE HE'S SET A TERRIBLE 
EXAMPLE.
A LOT OF BRAZILIANS BELIEVE THAT
THE PANDEMIC IS NOT AS SERIOUS.
>> Reporter: BUT YET THE VIRUS 
IS TEARING THROUGH CITIES AND 
REMOTE REGIONS.
AND THE DEATH TOLL THROUGHOUT 
THE COUNTRY CONTINUES TO CLIMB.
BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS, 
VANCOUVER.
>> Adrienne: AS CASES CLIMB 
WORLDWIDE, SOME COUNTRIES ARE 
MOVING TO REIMPOSE LOCKDOWNS.
IN ISRAEL, THE GOVERNMENT IS 
SHUTTING DOWN BARS, GYMS AND 
NIGHTCLUBS AND RESTRICTING THE 
NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN SYNAGOGUES 
AND ON BUSES.
ISRAEL IS NOW SEEING AS MANY AS 
A THOUSAND NEW CASES A DAY.
TODAY THE COUNTRY'S TOP PUBLIC 
HEALTH OFFICIAL RESIGNED, SAYING
LEADERS IGNORED THE WARNINGS AND
REOPENED TOO QUICKLY.
>>> AND SOME STATES IN THE U.S. 
ARE IMPOSING RESTRICTIONS AS THE
COUNTRY CONTINUES TO INCH CLOSER
TO THREE MILLION CASES, NEARLY
50,000 AMERICANS TESTED POSITIVE
IN THE LAST 24 HOURS.
MANY IN TEXAS.
THAT STATE FOUND MORE THAN 
10,000 NEW CASES IN A SINGLE 
DAY.
>>> AFTER A SPIKE IN MARCH, 
AUSTRALIA MANAGED TO FLATTEN ITS
COVID CURVE THROUGH APRIL, MAY 
AND ALMOST ALL OF JUNE, AND THEN
A FLARE-UP.
AND AS CHRIS BROWN EXPLAINS, 
THAT IS PUSHING THE COUNTRY'S 
SECOND-LARGEST CITY, MELBOURNE, 
BACK INTO LOCKDOWN.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WHERE ARE YOU COMING FROM TODAY?
>> Reporter: POLICE ARE 
PATROLLING THE BUSY STATE LINE 
BETWEEN VICTORIA AND NEW SOUTH 
WALES, NOW CLOSED FOR THE FIRST 
TIME IN A CENTURY.
MELBOURNE IS HEADED INTO ANOTHER
LOCKDOWN.
AT THIS PUBLIC HOUSING COMPLEX, 
THE EPICENTRE OF 70 NEW CASES, 
[INDISCERNIBLE] 4,000 PEOPLE, 
INCLUDING [INDISCERNIBLE] CAN'T 
LEAVE THEIR APARTMENTS. 
>> WE SAID, HEY, WE NEED MILK, 
WE NEED GROCERIES.
>> Reporter: VICTORIA'S PREMIER 
SAID PEOPLE LET THEIR GUARD 
DOWN.
>> I THINK A SENSE OF 
COMPLACENCY HAS CREPT INTO US AS
WE LET OUR FRUSTRATIONS GET THE 
BETTER OF US.
I THINK THAT EACH OF US KNOWS 
SOMEONE WHO HAS NOT BEEN 
FOLLOWING THE RULES AS WELL AS 
THEY SHOULD HAVE.
>> Reporter: MUCH OF THE FINGER 
POINTING IS FOCUSED ON 
QUARANTINE HOTELS WHERE THE 
VIRUS LIKELY ESCAPED FROM.
THIS FAMILY WHO RETURNED FROM 
INDIA SAYS THE ROOM THEY MOVED 
INTO OBVIOUSLY WASN'T CLEANED 
PROPERLY.
>> WE FOUND TOILET PAPER IN THE 
BED SHEETS, NAILS IN THE CARPET,
SOME FOOD PARTICLES AND FOOD 
WRAPPERS UNDER THE BED. 
>> Reporter: THE 191 NEW CASES 
REPORTED TUESDAY IN VICTORIA MAY
NOT BE A LOT BY INTERNATIONAL 
STANDARDS, BUT WHAT'S WORRYING 
IS THE TREND IS HEADED BACK UP, 
SAYS THIS CANADIAN EXPERT.
>> AS PEOPLE BEGIN TO THINK THAT
THEY'VE GOT IT BEAT, AS THINGS 
ARE LOOSENING UP, THE VIRUS, 
WHICH HAS BEEN DAMPENED BUT NOT 
ERADICATED, WILL COME BACK UP 
AGAIN.
>> Reporter: CLOSING THE STATE 
BORDER IS CREATING LOGISTICAL 
NIGHTMARES.
PEOPLE IN COMMUNITIES THAT 
STRADDLE THE LINE NEED PERMITS 
TO CROSS TO SHOP OR WORK.
>> SO THIS IS SOMETHING ENTIRELY
DIFFERENT.
THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT THE 
TRAVEL OF MY STAFF BECAUSE I 
HAVE STAFF AND CLIENTS MOVING 
AND WORKING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
BORDER.
>> Reporter: AS FOR MELBOURNE, 
LONG LINEUPS RETURNED OUTSIDE 
GROCERY STORES, BACK TO 
ESSENTIAL TRIPS ONLY OUTSIDE THE
HOME.
AUSTRALIA'S HALTING ECONOMIC 
RECOVERY FROM COVID IS ON PAUSE.
CHRIS BROWN, CBC NEWS, 
VANCOUVER.
>> Adrienne: SO ALL OF THIS 
PROBABLY HAS YOU WONDERING HOW'S
CANADA DOING.
WELL, LET'S LOOK AT TODAY'S 
NUMBERS.
ACROSS THE COUNTRY THERE WERE 
232 NEW CASES, MAKING THE NUMBER
OF ACTIVE ONES MORE THAN 27,000.
BRITISH COLUMBIA ACCOUNTED FOR 
12 TODAY.
AGAIN, QUEBEC AND ONTARIO LED 
THE WAY, QUEBEC REPORTING 60, 
ONTARIO 112.
AND IN THAT PROVINCE, SOME 
CITIES ARE TAKING NOTHING FOR 
GRANTED.
TODAY MAKING MASK WEARING 
MANDATORY IN INDOOR PUBLIC 
SPACES.
THOMAS DAIGLE EXPLAINS.
>> Reporter: JUST MONTHS AGO, IT
WOULD HAVE SEEMED DRACONIAN, BUT
TODAY IN CANADA'S BIGGEST CITY, 
THE SHIFT TO MANDATORY MASKS 
APPEARED SEAMLESS.
>> I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING.
>> I'M GRATEFUL THAT THEY HAVE 
DONE IT, FINALLY.
>> Reporter: FROM TORONTO'S 
ST. LAWRENCE MARKET TO ADAM 
PICKARD'S HAIR SALON. 
>> IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WEAR A 
MASK, YOU CAN'T BE IN HERE AND 
GET YOUR HAIR CUT. 
>> Reporter: IT'S UP TO MANAGERS
TO ENSURE THEIR CUSTOMERS WEAR A
FACE COVERING.
THAT GOES FOR ANY INDOOR SPACE, 
-- INDOOR PUBLIC SPACE, 
INCLUDING THE LIBRARY, WHERE THE
MAYOR EXPLAINED THE NEW ROLE OF 
BUSINESS OWNERS.
>> THEY CAN SIMPLY SAY NO SHOES,
NO SHIRT, NO FACE COVERING, NO 
SERVICE.
AND I THINK BY DOING THAT, MOST 
STORES WILL MAKE IT CLEAR.
>> Reporter: SIMILAR RULES CAME 
INTO EFFECT IN OTTAWA WITH 
EXEMPTIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH SOME 
HEALTH CONDITIONS AND CHILDREN 
UNDER TWO.
BUT NOT THEODORE.
>> HE WILL KEEP IT ON, AND FOR A
THREE-YEAR-OLD, I THINK THAT'S 
PRETTY GOOD. 
>> Reporter: AT THIS PHARMACY, 
THE OWNER DOES EXPECT SOME 
PUSHBACK, HAVING SEEN THE 
ANTI-MASK CHATTER ON SOCIAL 
MEDIA.
>> I AM PREPARED TO TURN AWAY 
BUSINESS, UNFORTUNATELY.
IT'S SOMETHING I THINK IS 
ESSENTIAL. 
>> Reporter: THOSE FRINGE 
ACTIVISTS OR ANTI-MASKERS TOOK 
TO THE TORONTO SUBWAY, THEIR 
FACES UNCOVERED DESPITE A RULE 
REQUIRING MASKS.
>> IT'S OUR CHOICE, AND YOU'RE 
NOT GOING TO TAKE THAT AWAY FROM
US.
>> Reporter: IN THESE TWO 
CITIES, AT LEAST, IT IS NOW IN 
FACT NOT YOUR DECISION TO MAKE.
WHILE THERE MAY BE FEWER CASES, 
THERE IS MORE CONSENSUS.
>> IT'S NOT REALLY A CHOICE 
ANYMORE.
YOU'VE GOT TO PUT A MASK ON.
IF PEOPLE WEAR MASKS, THEY CAN 
PREVENT THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS
INFECTION TO OTHERS. 
>> Reporter: HERE IN TORONTO THE
REQUIREMENT WILL REMAIN IN 
EFFECT UNTIL AT LEAST THE END OF
SEPTEMBER.
OTHER NEARBY CITIES AND MONTREAL
WILL SOON FOLLOW SUIT, AND 
QUEBEC IS CONSIDERING MAKING 
MASKS MANDATORY FOR INDOOR 
PUBLIC SPACES ACROSS THE WHOLE 
PROVINCE.
THOMAS DAIGLE, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: NOW MASKS WERE 
ALREADY MANDATORY AT TORONTO'S 
PEARSON AIRPORT, BUT 
CONSERVATIVE LEADER ANDREW 
SCHEER AND MANITOBA PREMIER 
BRIAN PALLISTER WERE SPOTTED 
THERE TODAY WITHOUT THEIR FACES 
COVERED.
THE PAIR, SEEN HERE AT A 
DEPARTURE GATE, IN A CLEAR 
VIOLATION OF THE AIRPORT'S 
RULES.
SCHEER'S OFFICE SAYS HE REMOVED 
HIS MASK TO MAKE A PHONE CALL 
WHILE PALLISTER CALLED THE 
MOMENT A LAPSE IN JUDGMENT. 
>>> THE WORLD HEALTH 
ORGANIZATION IS ACKNOWLEDGING 
COVID-19 MAY BE SPREAD THROUGH 
THE AIR.
>> WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE TO BE
OPEN TO THIS EVIDENCE AND 
UNDERSTAND ITS IMPLICATIONS 
REGARDING THE MODES OF 
TRANSMISSION.
>> Adrienne: SO THIS COMES AFTER
HUNDREDS OF SCIENTISTS WROTE AN 
OPEN LETTER OUTLINING EVIDENCE 
SHOWING SMALLER PARTICLES, NOT 
JUST LARGER DROPLETS, CAN LINGER
AND INFECT PEOPLE.
>>> THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS
BEGUN THE PROCESS OF WITHDRAWING
FROM THE W.H.O.
THE PRESIDENT MADE HIS 
INTENTIONS CLEAR TO LEAVE IN 
MAY, ACCUSING THE ORGANIZATION 
OF BOWING TO CHINESE INFLUENCE 
IN THE WAKE OF THE PANDEMIC.
THE PROCESS COULD TAKE AT LEAST 
A YEAR.
TRUMP HAS ALSO BEEN LEANING INTO
RACIAL DIVISIONS IN RECENT DAYS,
TRYING TO GET RE-ELECTED BY 
PLAYING TO THE BASE THAT GOT HIM
INTO THE WHITE HOUSE.
BUT AS KATIE SIMPSON EXPLAINS, 
SOME IN HIS OWN PARTY CALL THIS 
A BAD STRATEGY.
>> THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED 
STATES -- 
>> Reporter: AT A ROUND TABLE 
DISCUSSION ON REOPENING SCHOOLS,
THE PRESIDENT CRACKED A JOKE 
ABOUT ONE OF THE MOST SENSITIVE 
ISSUES IN THE COUNTRY WHILE 
ADDRESSING THE GOVERNOR OF 
MISSOURI.
>> President Donald Trump: YOU 
WON'T BE CHANGING THE NAME 
ST. LOUIS, WILL YOU?
>> NO, WE WILL NOT BE CHANGING 
IT. 
>> President Donald Trump: THANK
YOU.
>> Reporter: THAT'S A QUIP OVER 
ABOUT THE HEATED DIVISIONS OVER 
WHETHER TO RENAME MILITARY BASES
AND REMOVE STATUES DEDICATED TO 
CONFEDERATE LEADERS WHO FOUGHT 
TO DEFEND SLAVERY.
IT COMES AS DONALD TRUMP'S 
SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS ON ISSUES OF 
RACE DRAW CRITICISM FROM MEMBERS
OF HIS PARTY WHO SAY HE'S 
UNDERMINING THE RE-ELECTION 
MESSAGE HE DELIVERED IN HIS 4TH 
OF JULY SPEECH. 
>> THE QUESTION IS DID WHAT THE 
PRESIDENT TWEETED ON MONDAY 
ADVANCE THE CAUSE THAT HE LAID 
OUT ON SATURDAY, AND I THINK THE
ANSWER IS AN UNAMBIGUOUS NO.
>> Reporter: ON MONDAY, TRUMP 
ATTACKED BUBBA WALLACE, NASCAR'S
ONLY BLACK DRIVER, AFTER A HATE 
CRIME INVESTIGATION INTO WHAT 
APPEARED TO BE A NOOSE FOUND 
HANGING IN HIS GARAGE TURNED OUT
TO BE A COINCIDENCE.
THE PRESIDENT CALLED IT A HOAX, 
SAYING THAT AND THE DECISION TO 
BAN THE CONFEDERATE FLAG CAUSED 
LOWEST RATINGS EVER.
THIS ANTI-TRUMP REPUBLICAN 
STRATEGIST SAYS THIS IS A WAY TO
DISTRACT FROM THE PRESIDENT'S 
HANDLING OF THE PANDEMIC.
>> IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE 
PRESIDENT IS MORE CONCERNED 
ABOUT SAYING JUST FORGET, 
AMERICAN PUBLIC, WHAT A DISASTER
THIS HAS BEEN ON OUR SHORES AND 
LOOK OVER HERE.
>> Reporter: MEMBERS OF THE 
ADMINISTRATION ARE SIDESTEPPING 
QUESTIONS ON THE TWEET, WITH ONE
DOWNPLAYING RACISM IN THE U.S. 
>> I LIVE MY LIFE IN A 
RACE-BLIND WORLD.
IT TROUBLES ME THAT WE HAVE SO 
MUCH OF THIS DISCUSSION WHEN IN 
FACT WE'VE GOT REAL, REAL 
PROBLEMS IN THIS COUNTRY.
>> Reporter: TRUMP'S LATEST 
TWEETS DO NOT APPEAR TO BE 
HELPING HIM TO GROW HIS BASE.
INSTEAD, THEY ARE WIDELY SEEN AS
A WAY TO MOTIVATE HIS CORE 
SUPPORTERS AND GET THEM TO THE 
POLLS THIS FALL.
KATIE SIMPSON, CBC NEWS, 
WASHINGTON.
>> Adrienne: WINNIPEG POLICE ARE
INVESTIGATING AFTER TWO 
PROTESTERS WERE ATTACKED WITH A 
HOCKEY STICK FOLLOWING A BLACK 
AND INDIGENOUS LIVES MATTER 
RALLY ON SATURDAY.
TWO VIDEOS SHOW A WOMAN GETTING 
OUT OF A CAR AND GOING AFTER 
PROTESTERS, AND ONE OF THEM 
BEING HIT IN THE HEAD.
ONE OF THE VICTIMS SAYS IT 
STARTED AFTER HE LAID DOWN IN 
THE ROAD AS AN ACT OF PROTEST, 
LEADING TO SHOUTING FROM THE CAR
AND TO HIM THROWING WATER ON IT.
A WITNESS GAVE POLICE THE 
LICENCE PLATE.
>>> IN SASKATCHEWAN, AN 
INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION IS 
UNDER WAY AFTER THE VIOLENT 
ARREST OF AN INDIGENOUS MAN.
A VIDEO SHOWS THE MAN BEING 
REPEATEDLY PUNCHED, THEN 
TASERED.
AS THE CBC'S BONNIE ALLEN 
REPORTS, THERE ARE QUESTIONS 
ABOUT HOW AND WHY IT ALL 
ESCALATED TO THAT POINT.
>> STOP RESISTING!
>> Reporter: IN A SIX-MINUTE 
VIDEO, A SASKATOON POLICE 
OFFICER STRUGGLES TO SUBDUE AND 
HANDCUFF EVAN PENNER.
WHEN PENNER TRIES TO WRESTLE 
FREE, THE OFFICER PUNCHES HIM 
REPEATEDLY.
>> STOP GRABBING MY LEG.
STOP GRABBING MY ARM.
>> Reporter: FRANK COLLINS LIVES
NEARBY AND STARTED RECORDING. 
>> I YELLED OUT TO THE OFFICER 
TO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT 
NECESSARY, PLEASE STOP DOING 
THAT.
THE OFFICER ACKNOWLEDGED MY 
PRESENCE, AND AT THAT POINT 
STARTED YELLING "STOP RESISTING,
STOP RESISTING" AND CONTINUED TO
THROW PUNCHES.
>> Reporter: PENNER PERSISTENTLY
TRIES TO FIGHT FREE.
SEVEN MORE OFFICERS ARRIVE AND 
HE'S TASERED, PUNCHED AND PEPPER
SPRAYED.
>> TASER TASER!
>> Reporter: POLICE WERE CALLED 
ABOUT A SUSPICIOUS PERSON WHEN 
PENNER STARTED DOUSING HIMSELF 
WITH SOMEONE'S WATER HOSE.
STARTED DOUSING HIMSELF WITH 
SOMEONE'S WATER HOSE.
LORRAINE SALT LET HIM SIT ON HER
FRONT STEP AND WONDERS HOW IT 
ALL ESCALATED TO VIOLENCE. 
>> HE SEEMED, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE
BIT HAPPY TO FIND THE SHADE, AND
A PLACE TO SIT DOWN.
>> WITH EVERY ENCOUNTER THERE 
HAS TO BE A THINKING OF HOW CAN 
I DE-ESCALATE THIS. 
>> Reporter: FORMER SUPREME 
COURT JUDGE FRANK IACOBUCCI HAS 
STUDIED USE OF FORCE.
HE SAYS IN SOME CASES IT CAN BE 
REASONABLE FOR AN OFFICER TO 
PUNCH SOMEONE TO SUBDUE THEM. 
>> BUT YOU ALSO WANT TO JUDGE 
WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE IT CAME TO 
THAT STAGE.
>> Reporter: THE OFFICER HAS 
BEEN PLACED ON LEAVE.
SOME WANT HIM FIRED.
>> INDIGENOUS AND BLACK PEOPLE 
ARE STILL ROUTINELY BRUTALIZED 
BY THE POLICE IN THIS CITY WITH 
NO ACCOUNTABILITY AT ALL.
SO I BELIEVE THAT THE POLICE 
SHOULD BE FIRED. 
>> Reporter: BOTH THE SASKATOON 
POLICE SERVICE AND POLICE 
ASSOCIATION SAY THE VIDEO DOES 
NOT CAPTURE THE ENTIRE 
INTERACTION.
>> YOU'RE HURTING ME!
>> JUST COMPLY.
>> Reporter: THE ASSOCIATION 
ALSO SAYS PENNER HAD BEEN 
ARRESTED EARLIER IN THE DAY FOR 
ALLEGED INDECENT EXPOSURE AND 
WAS RELEASED.
SASKATOON'S MAYOR IS CALLING FOR
A REVIEW OF POLICE TRAINING AS 
IT RELATES TO DE-ESCALATION AND 
USE OF FORCE.
BONNIE ALLEN, CBC NEWS, REGINA.
>> Adrienne: NOW TO HALIFAX 
WHERE CHARGES HAVE BEEN DROPPED 
AGAINST A BLACK WOMAN WHO WAS 
TACKLED BY POLICE IN A WALMART 
AND ACCUSED OF STEALING ABOUT $6
WORTH OF PRODUCE.
BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT SHE WAS 
CHARGED FOR.
KAYLA HOUNSELL EXPLAINS.
>> JUSTICE FOR SANTINA RAO. 
>> Reporter: SANTINA RAO'S 
SUPPORTERS GATHERED OUTSIDE A 
HALIFAX COURT.
THEY HAVE BEEN LOBBYING NOVA 
SCOTIA'S PUBLIC PROSECUTION TO 
DROP THE CHARGES AGAINST HER.
TODAY IT DID, SAYING THERE WAS 
NO REALISTIC PROSPECT OF 
CONVICTION AND NO PUBLIC 
INTEREST IN PROCEEDING.
>> I'M JUST SO INCREDIBLY, 
INCREDIBLY OVERWHELMED.
>> Reporter: RAO WAS SHOPPING AT
WALMART WHEN THE POLICE SHOWED 
UP.
SHE SAYS SHE WAS RACIALLY 
PROFILED AND ACCUSED OF TRYING 
TO STEAL A HEAD OF LETTUCE, TWO 
LEMONS AND A GRAPEFRUIT.
THE ITEMS WERE IN THE BOTTOM OF 
HER STROLLER BECAUSE SHE HAD HER
HANDS FULL.
>> I'M ON THE PHONE WITH MY MOM 
AND I WAS STANDING IN THE TOY 
AISLE WITH MY TWO KIDS.
MY SON'S IN THE STROLLER, MY 
DAUGHTER IS THREE. 
>> Reporter: RAO SUFFERED A 
CONCUSSION, BRUISING AND A 
BROKEN WRIST.
SHE WAS DETAINED AND CHARGED 
WITH CAUSING A DISTURBANCE,
ASSAULTING A PEACE OFFICER AND 
RESISTING ARREST. 
>> COMPLETE FREEDOM FROM THIS 
INSTANCE WOULD BE THAT THE 
POLICE INVOLVED WOULD BE HELD 
ACCOUNTABLE AND THAT WALMART 
WOULD ALSO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Reporter: RAO SAYS SHE NOW 
PLANS TO SUE WALMART AND THE 
HALIFAX REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY.
NOVA SCOTIA'S POLICE WATCHDOG IS
ALSO INVESTIGATING.
RAO'S LAWYER SAYS HE HOPES THE 
COMPLAINTS AND LEGAL ACTION WILL
CONTRIBUTE TO THE LARGER 
CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW POLICE 
TREAT PEOPLE OF COLOUR.
>> SHE WAS STILL SHOPPING, FOR 
HEAVEN SAKE.
THERE WAS NO CRIME BEING 
COMMITTED.
THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THERE WAS
NO CRIME. 
>> Reporter: IN A STATEMENT, 
HALIFAX'S POLICE CHIEF SAID:  I 
WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE HURT 
THIS INCIDENT HAS CAUSED TO ALL 
INVOLVED.
WE WILL LEARN FROM THIS INCIDENT
AND IMPROVE AS AN ORGANIZATION."
RAO SAID SHE AND HER CHILDREN, 
ESPECIALLY HER DAUGHTER, HAVE 
SUFFERED A GREAT DEAL DUE TO THE
ACTIONS OF POLICE.
>> AS A CHILD THAT'S ALMOST 
FOUR, HER VISION AND IDEAL OF 
POLICE IS BRUTALITY, AND THAT 
WAS NOT MY OWN DOING.
THAT WAS THEIR DOING.
>> Reporter: HER ADVICE TO 
OTHERS WHO FEEL THEY HAVE BEEN 
RACIALLY PROFILED?
DON'T BE ASHAMED TO SPEAK UP.
KAYLA HOUNSELL, CBC NEWS, 
HALIFAX.
>> Adrienne: A BLACK WOMAN WHO 
WORKED FOR THE We CHARITY IS 
SPEAKING EXCLUSIVELY TO CBC NEWS
TO DESCRIBE HOW THE GROUP 
RE-WROTE HER OWN EXPERIENCE WITH
RACISM.
We HAS BEEN MAKING NEWS BECAUSE 
OF A CONTROVERSIAL FEDERAL 
CONTRACT.
FARRAH MERALI HAS THIS NEW 
ANGLE.
>> ARE YOU READY TO CHANGE THIS 
WORLD!
>> Reporter: We CHARITY IS WELL 
KNOWN FOR YOUTH EMPOWERMENT AND 
CLOSE TIES TO INFLUENTIAL 
PEOPLE.
BUT NOW THIS FORMER EMPLOYEE 
PAINTS A DIFFERENT PICTURE.
>> I FELT LIKE I WAS SINKING IN 
SAND. 
>> Reporter: AMANDA MAITLAND WAS
ASKED TO SPEAK ON A 2019 We 
ANTI-RACISM TOUR IN ALBERTA.
SHE SAYS SHE WROTE HER OWN 
SPEECH AND STARTED THE TOUR, BUT
ON A BRIEF RETURN TO TORONTO, 
SHE SAYS SHE WAS CALLED INTO A 
MEETING.
>> I WAS LITERALLY PUT A NEW 
SPEECH ON THE TABLE AND TOLD 
THAT THERE HAD TO BE CHANGES.
IT WAS COMPLETELY WATERED DOWN.
IT WANTED ME TO TALK ABOUT 
CORNROWS AND WANTED TO TALK 
ABOUT THE OSCARS AND THE 
LANGUAGE WAS JUST COMPLETELY 
DIFFERENT. 
>> Reporter: THE CHANGES, SHE 
SAYS, CAME FROM A TEAM OF NEARLY
ALL WHITE EMPLOYEES.
CBC NEWS SPOKE TO 15 FORMER We 
EMPLOYEES, SEVERAL CONFIRMED 
THEY KNEW MAITLAND'S SPEECH WAS 
CHANGED.
MOST DESCRIBED WHAT THEY CALLED 
"CULTURE OF FEAR" WITHIN THE 
ORGANIZATION.
RAIA CAREY SAYS SHE EXPERIENCED 
THAT FEAR.
>> NEVER IN MY LIFE BEFORE HAD I
FELT, LIKE, UNSURE ABOUT MY 
OPINION, MY VALUES AND WHERE I 
STAND BECAUSE OF HOW THEY MADE 
IT SEEM LIKE I WAS NEGATIVE. 
>> Reporter: MAITLAND'S STORY 
WHEN SHE FIRST SHARED ON 
INSTAGRAM HAS NOW SPARKED A 
FLURRY OF OTHER TESTIMONIALS. 
>> I'M SPEAKING OUT ABOUT IT 
BECAUSE I'VE LEFT THE 
ORGANIZATION.
>> I TOO NEED TO SPEAK UP ABOUT 
MY EXPERIENCES AT We. 
>> I'M DISGUSTED AND ENRAGED. 
>> Reporter: AFTER CBC NEWS 
REACHED OUT TO THE CHARITY, We 
CO-FOUNDERS CRAIG AND MARC 
KIELBURGER APOLOGIZED PUBLICLY 
TO MAITLAND, SAYING: YOU SHARED 
IN YOUR VIDEO THAT THE WORDS OF 
YOUR SPEECH WERE ALTERED.
IT SIMPLY SHOULD NOT HAVE 
HAPPENED.
IN A SEPARATE STATEMENT ABOUT AN
ALLEGED CULTURE OF FEAR We TOLD 
We MEMBERS HAVE ANONYMOUSLY 
SUBMIT ON A FEEDBACK PORTAL ANY 
CONCERNS OR ISSUES THEY HAVE.
>> I NEED TO KNOW THAT IT'S 
COMING FROM A GENUINE PLACE. 
>> Reporter: THAT APOLOGY WAS 
ALSO SENT TO MAITLAND 
PERSONALLY.
BUT FOR NOW SHE'S TAKING TIME TO
REFLECT ON THE WORDS.
FARRAH MERALI, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: THE TRUDEAU 
GOVERNMENT'S FOLLOWING THROUGH

TIMELINE.

I JUST DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY I 
COULDN'T LIVE IN A HEALTHY HOME.
>> Reporter: SHE WAS PLACED IN 
THE CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM MONTHS 
AFTER SHE WAS BORN.
SHUFFLED THROUGH SO MANY FOSTER 
HOMES, SHE LOST TRACK.
SHE WONDERS HOW HER LIFE WOULD 
HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT IF SHE 
STAYED IN FORT ALBANY FIRST 
NATION AND WAS BROUGHT UP IN HER
OWN CULTURE.
>> CHILDREN, YOUTH, DON'T HAVE 
FAMILIES TO RELY ON, RIGHT?
SO IF THE FUNDING ACTUALLY GETS 
GIVEN TO INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES,
I REALLY HAVE HIGH HOPES THAT 
THEY WILL KNOW -- THAT WE WILL 
KNOW WHAT TO DO. 
>> Reporter: THAT'S THE GOAL 
BEHIND A NEW AGREEMENT BETWEEN 
OTTAWA AND THE ASSEMBLY OF FIRST
NATIONS.
IT'S A PLAN TO COME UP WITH A 
PLAN ON HOW TO FUND THE NEW 
FIRST NATION-RUN CHILD WELFARE 
SYSTEM.
>> ANY LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT 
CANNOT ARGUE WITH THAT, PUTTING 
THE NEEDS OF THE CHILDREN FIRST.
>> Reporter: BUT OTTAWA IS NOT 
OFFERING UP ANY NEW MONEY OR 
COMMITTING TO ANY DEADLINES.
>> THE FACT THAT THERE'S NO 
BINDING COMMITMENT OR FUNDING, 
-- OF FUNDING, IT MEANS THAT 
THINGS AREN'T GOING TO CHANGE 
WHEN THEY OUGHT TO CHANGE.
>> Reporter: THE MINISTER ADMITS
TRANSFERRING CONTROL OF THE 
FOSTER CARE SYSTEM TO FIRST 
NATIONS WON'T BE EASY.
>> AND SO THAT'S A LONG-TERM AND
PROBABLY A VERY PAINFUL PROCESS.
>> Reporter: BUT IT'S ONE ALL 
PARTIES AGREE IS NECESSARY TO 
REDUCE THE NUMBER OF INDIGENOUS 
YOUTH IN CARE.
THERE ARE NOW MORE IN THE FOSTER
SYSTEM THAN AT THE HEIGHT OF THE
RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL ERA.
METATOWABIN IS HOPEFUL THE 
ANNOUNCEMENT IS MORE THAN WORDS.
>> HOW MANY YEARS OF THIS?
I THINK WE'VE ALL HAD ENOUGH, 
AND WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN 
WAITING THIS LONG.
BECAUSE AS METATOWABIN KNOWS ALL
TOO WELL, CHILDREN ONLY GET ONE 
CHANCE AT A DECENT CHILDHOOD.

ENOUGH.
>>> PLUS, REMEMBER THESE?

HOW DO WE CONNECT WITH EACH

>> Adrienne: PLUS, BREAK AND 
ENTER WITH A CAUSE.

AS DAVID COMMON EXPLAINS, A 
RECENT INCIDENT SHOWED JUST HOW 
SERIOUS THAT HARM CAN BE.
>> Reporter: MORE THAN 500 
PUPPIES WERE CRAMMED INTO THE 
CARGO HOLD OF A FLIGHT LANDING 
IN TORONTO JUST THREE WEEKS AGO.
NEARLY A DAY AFTER THOSE DOGS 
WERE CRAMMED INTO DOZENS OF 
CRATES IN UKRAINE, BELIEVED TO 
BE THE WORK OF PUPPY MILLS 
SELLING TO CANADIANS SEEKING A 
DOG FAST.
38 OF THE PUPPIES DIED IN 
TRANSIT.
AT LEAST ONE PURPORTEDLY LEFT IN
THIS BAG.
UKRAINE INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES 
NOW TELLS CBC NEWS IT WILL 
TEMPORARILY SUSPEND THE 
TRANSPORTATION OF ANIMALS ON 
LONG HAUL FLIGHTS, AND TODAY THE
CANADIAN FOOD INSPECTION AGENCY 
TARGETED THE LUCRATIVE PUPPY 
TRADE IN CANADA BY STOPPING THE 
IMPORTATION OF COMMERCIAL 
PUPPIES UNDER EIGHT MONTHS OF 
AGE FROM UKRAINE.
>> IT'S GOING TO BE HARDER FOR 
THEM, BUT THIS IS ONLY 
TEMPORARY, SO I'D LIKE TO SEE 
WHERE CANADA PLANS TO MAKE THE 
CHANGES PERMANENT AND NOT JUST 
TO THE UKRAINE, TO THE OTHER 
COUNTRIES THAT ARE IN 
CONSIDERATION AND BEHIND THIS AS
WELL. 
>> Reporter: INDEED, THE FEDERAL
ACTION IS NOT PERMANENT.
ONLY TARGETS COMMERCIAL 
IMPORTATION AND IT STILL PERMITS
ANY NUMBER OF PUPPIES, EVEN FROM
PUPPY MILLS IN OTHER EASTERN 
EUROPEAN COUNTRIES.
IT'S A BIG BUSINESS.
JUST LOOK AT TORONTO'S KIJIJI 
LISTINGS, PUPPIES FOR $2,000 AND
$3,000.
>> WE NEED TO OVERALL BAN THE 
COMMERCIAL IMPORTATION OF DOGS 
FOR SALE INTO CANADA.
WE ALREADY HAVE OUR OWN THRIVING
PUPPY MILL INDUSTRY, SADLY, HERE
IN CANADA.
AND WE DON'T NEED TO ADD BY 
ACTUALLY BRINGING MORE ANIMALS 
IN FROM OTHER COUNTRIES THAT ARE
COMING FROM PUPPY MILLS.
>> Reporter: BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT
THE FEDS HAVE DONE, TARGETING 
ONLY THE MOST RECENT AND 
DISASTROUS IMPORT.
DAVID COMMON, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: NEXT ON "THE 
NATIONAL," REMEMBER HANDSHAKES?
WHEN'S THE NEXT TIME YOU THINK 
YOU'LL BE OKAY TO SHAKE ON IT?
>> WE'RE BEING TOLD THAT TOUCH 
IS DANGEROUS.
WHAT OUR BRAIN THINKS IS PEOPLE 
ARE DANGEROUS, OTHERS ARE 
DANGEROUS.
>> Adrienne: WHAT IS THAT 
MESSAGE DOING TO HOW WE INTERACT
WITH OTHERS LONG TERM?
>>> PLUS, WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN 
YOU GO IN FOR TESTING.
ANDREW SHOWS US WHAT IT'S LIKE 
GETTING TESTED FOR COVID-19.
>> Adrienne: SO ADD THIS TO THE 
LONG, LONG LIST OF WAYS THIS 
PANDEMIC HAS CHANGED US, WITH A 
HANDSHAKE CONSIDERED TOO HIGH 
RISK, GREETING BY ELBOW HAS SORT
OF GONE MAINSTREAM.
IN FACT, THIS IS JUST A MINOR 
CHANGE, BUT THE HANDSHAKE IS 
ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST 
SAYING HI.
IT'S ABOUT SHOWING TRUST TOO, 
AND IT'S PERSONAL, SO HOW DO 
-- TO FILL THAT VOID NOW, AND 
FOR AS LONG AS THIS LASTS?
WE WENT SEARCHING FOR SOME 
ANSWERS.
TAKE A MOMENT FOR A LITTLE TIME 
TRAVEL, BACK TO FOREVER AGO, 
MARCH 2.
[LAUGHTER]
AND GERMAN CHANCELLOR ANGELA 
MERKEL GOING IN FOR A HANDSHAKE.
FUNNY HOW THE WHOLE IDEA OF NOT 
SHAKING HANDS WAS JUST SO HARD 
TO GET USED TO THEN, AND YET WE 
ADAPT.
*
EVEN A PRESIDENT KNOWN FOR 
PRACTICALLY WEAPONIZING A 
HANDSHAKE, NOW SEEMS HORRIFIED 
BY AN OUTSTRETCHED HAND.
ONCE ROUTINE BEHAVIOURS NO 
LONGER ROUTINE. 
>> THERE'S A TENDENCY OF SOME 
FOLKS TO USE IT AS A 
DEMONSTRATION OF POWER. 
>> Adrienne: AND SO A NAGGING 
QUESTION FOR A SPECIALIST IN 
ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR:  WILL 
WE EVER SHAKE ON IT AGAIN?
WHAT WOULD IT TAKE FOR YOU TO 
FEEL COMFORTABLE TO SHAKE A HAND
AGAIN?
>> IT WOULD TAKE A HIGHLY 
EFFECTIVE, EASILY AVAILABLE 
VACCINE, OR A SUPER EFFECTIVE 
TREATMENT FOR THE CORONAVIRUS 
FOR ME TO BE COMFORTABLE AGAIN.
>> Adrienne: SO ARE YOU PREPARED
TO NOT SHAKE HANDS FOR THE NEXT 
TWO YEARS POSSIBLY?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> Adrienne: THIS GESTURE HAS 
BEEN WITH US FOR MILLENNIA, 
SURVIVED EVEN THE BLACK PLAGUE.
PEOPLE STOPPED KISSING ON THE 
CHEEK FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS 
THEN, BUT THEY KEPT SHAKING 
HANDS, AN ENDEARING ENDURING 
GREETING NOW PAUSED BUT LIKELY 
NOT GONE BECAUSE APPARENTLY WE 
NEED IT.
>> AND IT'S A NEED TO ESTABLISH 
TRUST WITH ONE ANOTHER, AND THE 
WAY THE HANDSHAKE ALLOWS YOU TO 
ESTABLISH TRUST IS BY, ONE, 
SHOWING THAT YOU HOLD NOTHING 
DANGEROUS IN YOUR HAND.
>> Adrienne: BUT NOT EVERY 
CULTURE DOES THIS. 
>> THAT'S TRUE.
CULTURES THAT SUBSTITUTE, 
REPLACE THE HANDSHAKE WITH 
GESTURES LIKE THE NAMASTE OR THE
BOW EMPHASIZE DIFFERENT THINGS.
THOSE ARE GESTURES THAT WE SPEAK
MORE TO RESPECT AND DEFERENCE 
TOWARD THE OTHER.
BUT THEY DON'T ESTABLISH THE 
WARMTH, THAT DEEP SENSE OF 
CLOSENESS. 
>> Adrienne: IT'S A TALK WE'RE 
HAVING IN THE FINANCIAL DISTRICT
OF TORONTO BECAUSE, FOR THE NEXT
FEW YEARS, WITHOUT HANDSHAKES, 
INTERACTIONS IN THOSE GLEAMING 
TOWERS WILL HAVE TO CHANGE AND 
GET MORE PERSONAL.
>> AND THE BEST WAY TO ESTABLISH
THAT YOU MEAN WELL IS TO TAKE A 
REAL INTEREST IN THE OTHER 
PERSON WITH THE EYE CONTACT, 
WITH THE SMILE, WITH A 
THOUGHTFUL REMEMBERING THE 
PERSON WHEN THEY ARE MAYBE 
DISCONNECTED, BUT YOU SEND THEM 
A NOTE. 
>> Adrienne: THIS IS A LOT MORE 
WORK THAN A HANDSHAKE, AND 
BEFORE YOU SUGGEST THAT SURELY 
VIDEO CONFERENCING CALLS ARE 
PERSONAL ENOUGH, AFTER ALL, YOU 
ARE SEEING EACH OTHER, FORGET 
IT.
YOU CAN'T MAKE EYE CONTACT, 
DISTRACTIONS ARE RUINOUS TO 
BUILDING A CONNECTION, AND 
INCREASINGLY PEOPLE ARE FED UP 
WITH COMMUNICATING THIS WAY.
THE OLD-SCHOOL TELEPHONE?
NOW YOU'RE TALKING. 
>> THE PHONE CALL ALLOWS YOU TO 
FOCUS ON TONE, PAUSES, SIGHS, 
ALL OF THOSE RICH AUDIO SIGNALS 
>> Adrienne: SO IS THIS EFFORT 
TO KEEP US APART MAKING U.S. 
MORE PERSONAL IN OUR 
INTERACTION?
>> I DON'T KNOW. 
>> Adrienne: SHE'S RIGHT TO 
HESITATE.
THERE ARE TOO MANY EXAMPLES OF 
LESS-THAN-GENEROUS BEHAVIOUR 
RIGHT NOW.
CONSIDER THE ANGRY ALMOST 
PANICKY SHAMING OF A WOMAN NOT 
WEARING A MASK AT A GROCERY 
STORE.
>> THIS IS KAREN.
>> Adrienne: AND THE FURY OF 
ANOTHER APPARENTLY CALLED OUT.
[YELLING]
MAYBE WE AREN'T ALL IN THIS 
TOGETHER.
THERE IS SO MUCH FEAR OF THE 
OTHER.
PEOPLE TALKING OF EYE CONTACT 
BEING AVOIDED, SOME EVEN HOLDING
THEIR BREATH WHEN SOMEONE WALKS 
TOO CLOSE.
>> WE SEE EACH OTHER AS PARIAHS.
>> YES.
>> Adrienne: WHAT IS HAPPENING 
WITH THAT LEVEL OF SUSPICION?
>> YEAH, WE'RE NOT SEEING 
PEOPLE.
WE'RE SEEING, LIKE, VECTORS OF 
TRANSMISSION, YOU KNOW?
AND SO WHEN WE'RE BEING TOLD 
THAT TOUCH IS DANGEROUS, WHAT 
OUR BRAIN THINKS IS PEOPLE ARE 
DANGEROUS, OTHERS ARE DANGEROUS.
>> Adrienne: FOR BEHAVIOURAL
SCIENTIST, LAURA CAVANAUGH, A 
WORLD IN COVID IS A CLASSROOM.
THE QUIRKS, EXTREMES ON DISPLAY,
FULLY DOUBTING IT'S SAFE TO BE 
OUT, OTHERS BEHAVING AS IF IT'S 
ALL OVER. 
>> WE'RE UNDER STRESS IS THAT WE
HAVE SOMETHING CALLED DECISION 
FATIGUE.
SHOULD I WEAR A MASK OR NOT WEAR
A MASK?
DOES IT HELP OR DOES IT NOT 
HELP?
EVENTUALLY FROM A PSYCHOLOGICAL 
PERSPECTIVE, IT JUST WEARS US 
OUT, IT DEPLETES US, AND PEOPLE 
BECOME PARALYZED OR ANXIOUS OR 
DEPRESSED OR THEY BECOME 
RECKLESS, SELF-DESTRUCTIVE AND 
IMPULSIVE.
>> Adrienne: FEAR, SHE 
MAINTAINS, IS PRETTY GOOD AT 
MOTIVATING SHORT-TERM RESPONSES,
BUT IT DOESN'T MOTIVATE FOR 
LONG, WHICH IS POSSIBLY WHEN 
MEDICAL GUIDELINES NOW AREN'T 
NECESSARILY STICKING WITH SOME 
AROUND THE WORLD.
>> ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT 
GOES IS PSYCHOLOGICAL 
FLEXIBILITY, AND SO WE FALL INTO
ALL-OR-NOTHING THINKING OR 
BLACK-OR-WHITE THINKING. 
>> Adrienne: THE GOOD NEWS IS 
MOST PEOPLE ARE LARGELY HARD 
WIRED FOR RESILIENCE, AND THE 
BETTER NEWS, IF WE'VE ALL BEEN 
DENIED THE SIMPLE PLEASURES OF A
HUG OR A HANDSHAKE FOR SO LONG, 
WHEN WE EVENTUALLY GET THEM 
BACK, MAYBE THEY'LL MEAN THAT 
MUCH MORE.
>>> AS OF THIS WEEK, NEARLY 3 
MILLION PEOPLE WERE TESTED FOR 
COVID-19 HERE IN CANADA, AND AS 
MORE PEOPLE GET SCREENED FOR THE
VIRUS, WE TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT 
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO ARRIVE 
PREPARED AT A TESTING CENTRE.
*
>> Andrew: THINK THE START OF 
THE PANDEMIC ONLY A FEW MILLION 
CANADIANS HAD BEEN TESTED FOR 
COVID-19, WHICH MEANS THE VAST 
MAJORITY OF US DON'T ACTUALLY 
KNOW WHAT THE EXPERIENCE IS 
LIKE.
SO WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT?
>> WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO WAIT 
AT LEAST SEVEN DAYS BEFORE 
COMING IN AND GETTING TESTED IF 
THEY THINK THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN 
EXPOSED.
>> Andrew: WHEN I GOT TESTED A 
FEW WEEKS AGO, I HAD TO WAIT IN 
LINE FOR ABOUT 60 MINUTES, 
THOUGH OF COURSE YOUR EXPERIENCE
MAY BE VERY DIFFERENT, DEPENDING
ON WHERE YOU LIVE, ALSO WHAT 
TIME OF DAY YOU GO.
KEEP IN MIND THE OTHER PEOPLE 
AROUND YOU MIGHT BE SICK, SO 
IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP 
YOUR PHYSICAL DISTANCE AND, OF 
COURSE, WEAR A MASK.
NOW WHILE YOU'RE WAITING IN 
LINE, YOU MIGHT BE GIVEN A FORM 
TO FILL OUT, JUST BASIC CONTACT 
INFORMATION.
ONCE IT'S YOUR TURN, YOU'LL HAVE
TO ANSWER A FEW MORE BASIC 
QUESTIONS, HOW YOU'RE FEELING, 
ANY POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS YOU HAVE, 
POSSIBLE EXPOSURES.
THEN COMES THE TEST ITSELF.
BASICALLY I SIT DOWN, YOU TAKE 
YOUR MASK OFF, YOU LEAN BACK, 
AND THE SWAB GOES IN, AND 
THEY'LL TYPICALLY SWAB FOR A FEW
SECONDS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT 
THEY GET A GOOD SAMPLE.
AND IT DOES GO DEEP, BUT 
HONESTLY IT'S NOT SO DEEP THAT 
IT FEELS LIKE IT'S HITTING SOME 
PART OF YOUR HEAD THAT YOU 
DIDN'T KNOW EXISTED, AND IT'S 
NOT PAINFUL.
ONE OR TWO NOSTRILS LATER, AND 
YOU'RE DONE.
STAFF WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW 
YOU GET YOUR TEST RESULTS.
IT COULD BE BY PHONE.
I GOT MINE OVER EMAIL, OR YOU 
CAN GET THEM YOURSELF ONLINE.
AS FOR HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GET 
YOUR RESULT?
IT COULD BE IN AS LITTLE AS 24 
HOURS, OR AS LONG AS A WEEK.
IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU 
LIVE.
NOW ONE THING THAT YOU SHOULD 
UNDERSTAND, A TEST RESULT IS 
ONLY REALLY A SNAPSHOT IN TIME.
>> SO PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING IN 
ENVIRONMENTS WHERE THEY ARE 
EXPOSED TO MANY MEMBERS OF THE 
PUBLIC OR TO OTHER WORKPLACE 
EXPOSURES SHOULD BE TESTED 
REGULARLY.
>> Andrew: SO DON'T HESITATE TO 
COME BACK, AND ANYWAY, IT'S 
FREE.
>> Adrienne: HE'S GOOD.
NEXT ON "THE NATIONAL," THE 
MILITARY'S PUSH TO DIVERSIFY THE
RANKS.
>> IT'S THE 21ST CENTURY, AND 
WOMEN ARE IN THE SPOTLIGHT NOW.
>> Adrienne: NEXT, THE 
BEHIND-THE-SCENES CHANGES TO GET
MORE WOMEN ON THE FRONT LINE.
>> Adrienne: WELCOME BACK.
THE CANADIAN ARMED FORCES ARE 
TRYING TO RECRUIT MORE WOMEN, 
EVEN AS DETAILS ARE WORKED OUT 
FOR A MASSIVE CLASS ACTION 
SETTLEMENT THAT INCLUDES VICTIMS
OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND MISCONDUCT
IN THE ARMED FORCES.
SO HOW DO WOMEN FEEL ABOUT 
WORKING THERE?
DAVID COMMON ASKED SOME OF THEM 
AS HE LOOKED INTO THAT 
RECRUITING.
>> ALL RIGHT, GOOD AFTERNOON, 
EVERYONE.
WELCOME TO THE CANADIAN FORCES 
RECRUITING CENTRE, DETACHMENT 
TORONTO.
>> Reporter: YES, INDEED, THIS 
IS FROM THE TIMES JUST BEFORE 
COVID.
NO DISTANCING HERE, BUT NOTICE 
THAT PACKED IN AMONG THESE 12 
NEW RECRUITS FOR THE CANADIAN 
ARMED FORCES. 
>> CONGRATULATIONS. 
>> Reporter: ARE FIVE WOMEN.
[APPLAUSE]
CANADA'S MILITARY HAS STRUGGLED 
TO INCREASE WOMEN IN ITS RANKS, 
CONVINCING DENISE PATINO, FUTURE
LOGISTICS OFFICER FOR THE NAVY, 
TO COME ON BOARD, AND THAT'S 
CONSIDERED A WIN. 
>> I THINK THERE MIGHT BE A LOT 
OF STIGMA AROUND THAT, BUT IT'S 
THE 21ST CENTURY, AND WOMEN ARE 
IN THE SPOTLIGHT NOW, AND I DO 
THINK THAT THE NAVY AND THE 
CANADIAN ARMED FORCES ARE A 
GREAT WAY FOR A WOMAN TO GET A 
FOOT INTO THE WORLD AND REALLY 
SUCCEED.
>> HAVE FUN. 
>> THANKS. 
>> YEAH, SERIOUSLY, I KNOW 
YOU'RE GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
REALLY, I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU.
>> Reporter: BACK BEFORE THE 
PANDEMIC, WE MET UP WITH MOLLY 
CAMERON, PART OF THE MIGHTY 
MINORITY, AN EXPERIENCED 
CREWWOMAN ON-BOARD A NAVY SHIP. 
>> I'VE SAILED WITH ONLY TWO 
FEMALES OUT OF 45 PEOPLE ON 
BOARD, AND IT CAN BE HARD.
YOU KNOW, I LIKE HANGING WITH 
THE GUYS.
I GET ALONG WITH THEM WELL, BUT 
I DO THINK IT'S NICE TO HAVE 
MORE FEMALES ON BOARD.
>> Reporter: THE MILITARY HAS 
SET A TARGET THAT ONE IN FOUR 
SAILORS, SOLDIERS OR AIRMEN BE A
WOMAN BY 2026.
TODAY THEY ARE WAY OFF, CLOSER 
TO ONE IN SEVEN.
BETTER, THOUGH, THAN THE NATO 
AVERAGE OF ONE IN NINE, STILL 
THOUGH, SHORT OF CANADA'S GOAL.
AND IT'S BARELY CHANGING.
SO WHY IS IT SUCH A STRUGGLE?
CHARGES OF SEXUAL ASSAULT 
AGAINST MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY 
ARE CERTAINLY A FACTOR.
>> I THINK THERE MAY BE PEOPLE 
THAT FEAR THAT IT'S SOME KIND OF
A PREDATOR CULTURE, WHICH I CAN 
SAY WITH MY HAND ON MY HEART 
THAT IT'S NOT.
>> WHAT ARE ALL THE STATIONS?
>> Reporter: COMMANDER MICHELLE 
TESSIER IS AMONG THE HIGHEST 
RANKING WOMEN IN THE NAVY, THE 
INCOMING BOSS OF ONE OF ITS 
NEWEST WARSHIPS.
AFTER MANY YEARS OF SERVICE, 
SHE'S BEEN AROUND DURING DARK 
YEARS BUT BELIEVES SAFETY AND 
RESPECT ARE BOTH IMPROVING. 
>> DO WE HAVE PEOPLE WHERE THERE
ARE ISSUES?
EVERYONE DOES.
DO WE DEAL WITH THOSE ISSUES?
ABSOLUTELY.
AND DO WE DO EVERYTHING THAT WE 
CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT THE 
CANADIAN ARMED FORCES IS A 
WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT FOR WOMEN 
AND FOR EVERYONE?
ABSOLUTELY.
*
>> I'M SHANNON BUSTA, AND YOU'RE
LISTENING TO "FOR HER COUNTRY." 
>> Reporter: FROM A HOME IN 
TORONTO, HOST SHANNON BUSTA IS 
FEATURING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF 
WOMEN IN THE MILITARY IN A NEW 
PODCAST CALLED "FOR HER 
COUNTRY."
IT SPEAKS TO WOMEN FROM A WIDE 
ARRAY OF EXPERIENCES IN THE 
MILITARY, AT HOME AND ABROAD, 
BUSTING MYTHS AND SHEDDING LIGHT
ABOUT THEIR ROLE IN THE FORCES.
>> I'M SURE YOU CAN IMAGINE THE 
LOOK ON MY FACE, OR WHAT WAS AT 
LEAST GOING THROUGH MY HEAD WHEN
I WAS HAVING THESE 
CONVERSATIONS.
>> Reporter: THERE'S ALSO THE 
QUESTION OF LIFESTYLE FOR BOTH 
WOMEN AND MEN.
ONE HURDLE TO MILITARY LIFE CAN 
BE THE EXPECTATION TO MOVE EVERY
FEW YEARS IN SOME JOBS.
COLONEL LUC SABOURIN RUNS 
RECRUITING FOR THE FORCES. 
>> IT'S NOT JUST A WOMAN ISSUE.
IT'S AN CROSS-THE-BOARD ISSUE, 
BECAUSE PEOPLE REALLY WANT TO 
DEVELOP THEIR FAMILY, RAISE A 
FAMILY AS A TEAM.
AND VALUE THE FACT THAT THEIR 
PARTNER WANT TO HAVE A CAREER AS
WELL.
SO IT BECOMES A HOW DO WE WORK, 
AND THE MILITARY WILL WORK TO 
ENSURE TO MINIMIZE STRESS ON THE
FAMILY.
>> Reporter: MAKING THE MILITARY
MORE FAMILY FRIENDLY IS NOW A 
STRATEGIC GOAL.
IN SOME CASES, MOVES HAVE BEEN 
REDUCED, POSTINGS LASTING 
LONGER.
>> GOOD JOB.
>> Reporter: SPEAKING OF FAMILY,
IT'S HOW ROSALEE SOLOMON GOT 
HERE, FOLLOWING HER OLDER SISTER
INTO THE NAVY.
BOTH ARE NOW CONSIDERING JOINING
THE REGULAR FORCE, AND THEIR 
YOUNGER SISTER IS FOLLOWING TOO.
>> I WAS NOT REALLY CONCERNED.
MY OLDER SISTER TOLD ME THAT IT 
WAS GOOD, PEOPLE WERE TREATING 
HER GOOD ALSO.
SO YOU'RE A SAILOR BEFORE A 
WOMAN OR A MAN.
>> Reporter: MOLLY CAMERON WAS 
JUST ABOUT TO HEAD OUT ACROSS 
THE ATLANTIC, CONFIDENT IN HER 
SHIPMATES.
BUT SOMETIMES STILL TAKING 
QUESTIONS FROM FRIENDS.
>> YOU KNOW, IS IT HARD, YOU 
KNOW, DO YOU GET A LOT OF 
SEXISM.
AND LIKE, I DEFINITELY HAVE IN 
THE PAST.
I CAN ONLY SPEAK TO MY PERSONAL 
EXPERIENCES THAT I DON'T GET A 
LOT.
MY TRADE IS MALE DOMINATED.
BUT I THINK HUMAN NATURE, IF 
YOU, YOU KNOW, PROVE YOURSELF 
AND THEY KNOW I CAN DO THE JOB 
JUST AS WELL AS A MALE, THEN 
THERE'S NO REAL SEXISM THERE 
BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING TO BE 
SEXIST ABOUT.
>> Reporter: SEXISM, OF COURSE, 
EXISTS OUTSIDE THE MILITARY TOO,
BUT PERCEPTIONS MATTER, AND IT 
IMPACTS ATTEMPTS TO INCREASE THE
NUMBER OF WOMEN ON SHIPS LIKE 
THIS.
MAKING THE FORCE'S OWN GOAL OF 
GREATER EQUITY SOMEWHAT ELUSIVE.
DAVID COMMON, CBC NEWS, HALIFAX.
>> Adrienne: STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL," SOCIAL MEDIA AND 
INTERNET GIANTS ARE DEBATING 
WHAT TO DO ABOUT HONG KONG'S NEW
SECURITY LAW, BUT ONE APP SAYS 
IT'S OUT.
WILDLY POPULAR VIDEO APP TIKTOK,
WHY?
NEXT.
*
>> I'M JOSH BLOCH.
TOMORROW ON CBC'S DAILY NEWS 
PODCAST, "FRONT BURNER," SIX 
MONTHS AFTER THE IRANIAN DOWNING
OF FLIGHT PS752, WE SPEAK WITH 
SPECIAL ADVISOR RALPH GOODALE 
ABOUT CANADA'S ROLE IN GETTING 
JUSTICE FOR THE FAMILIES OF 
VICTIMS.
SUBSCRIBE WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR 
PODCASTS.
[ Crowd Noise ]
>> Adrienne: PROTESTERS IN HONG 
KONG HAVE FOUND A NOVEL WAY TO 
USE SIGNS.
NOW THAT BEIJING HAS EFFECTIVELY
BANNED CERTAIN SLOGANS.
BLANK PIECES OF PAPER AND BLANK 
STICKY NOTES.
THE MESSAGE, THE SLOGANS AND 
DEMANDS REMAIN IN THEIR HEARTS.
LAST WEEK CHINA IMPOSED STRICT 
NEW SECURITY LAWS IN THE 
TERRITORY, AND THAT'S NOW CAUSED
THE WORLD'S TECH ELITE TO PAUSE.
GOOGLE, FACEBOOK AND OTHERS ARE 
SUSPENDING GIVING DATA TO 
OFFICIALS, BUT TIKTOK IS 
ACTUALLY PULLING OUT ENTIRELY, 
INTERESTING BECAUSE THE WILDLY 
POPULAR APP, HEADQUARTERED IN 
THE U.S., HAS CHINESE OWNERSHIP.
ELI GLASNER UNPACKS IT ALL.
>> TO BE HONEST, I KIND OF FEEL 
LIKE A SENSE OF IRONY OF DOING A
PHD IN PRIVACY LAW NOW BECAUSE 
THERE IS NONE LEFT IN HONG KONG.
>> Reporter: THIS ACTIVIST IS 
WORRIED ABOUT BEIJING'S NEW 
NATIONAL SECURITY LAW THAT GIVES
POLICE THE POWER TO SILENCE AND 
TRACK USERS.
>> THEY CAN HAVE THE SENSE OF 
WHO ARE THE CLOSEST BEINGS IN MY
CIRCLE, AND THEY CAN TARGET 
THOSE PERSON AS WELL. 
>> Reporter: WORRIED ABOUT CHINA
USING THEIR DATA IS BEHIND THE 
DECISION OF TWITTER AND OTHER 
TECH GIANTS TO SUSPEND GIVING IT
OUT.
BUT THINGS ARE EVEN TRICKIER FOR
TIKTOK BECAUSE OF WHO OWNS IT.
LAST WEEK INDIA BANNED IT IN A 
PURGE OF CHINESE MOBILE APPS.
NOW AUSTRALIA IS CONSIDERING THE
SAME. 
>> WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT 
FOREIGN INTERFERENCE.
>> Reporter: AND YESTERDAY THIS 
FROM THE U.S. SECRETARY OF 
STATE. 
>> WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THAT 
PEOPLE DOWNLOAD THAT APP ON 
THEIR PHONES?
>> ONLY IF YOU WANT YOUR PRIVACY
INFORMATION IN THE HANDS OF THE 
CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY. 
>> Reporter: IN A STATEMENT, 
TIKTOK NOTES THE COMPANY IS LED 
BY AN AMERICAN CEO AND HAS NEVER
PROVIDED USER DATA TO THE 
CHINESE GOVERNMENT.
>> THEIR SERVER IS IN THE U.S., 
AND IN SINGAPORE.
SO ALL OF THE DATA FOR TIKTOK IS
IN -- OUTSIDE OF CHINA.
BUT AGAIN, THERE'S ALWAYS THE 
FEAR IN THE BACKGROUND THAT 
BECAUSE THEY ARE WHOLLY OWNED BY
A CHINESE ENTITY THAT SOMETHING 
COULD HAPPEN. 
>> IF THE U.S. TAKES AWAY 
TIKTOK -- 
>> Reporter: ON THE PLATFORM, 
TIKTOKERS WERE STILL COMING TO 
TERMS WITH THE POSSIBLE BAN.
>> I DON'T UNDERSTAND, I DON'T 
UNDERSTAND.
>> I THINK CLEARLY WHAT THEY ARE
-- THE WHITE HOUSE IS TRYING TO 
DO IS TO SHIFT PEOPLE'S FOCUS TO
CHINA GIVEN THE BAD PRESS THEY 
ARE GETTING, YOU KNOW, ON COVID.
>> Reporter: THIS AUTHOR SAYS 
THE WHITE HOUSE MAY WANT TO 
SHIFT FOCUS, BUT THE TWO ARE 
TIED TOGETHER.
>> A CHINESE COMPANY OWNS ONE OF
THE BIGGEST PORK PRODUCERS IN 
THE U.S. 
SHOULD YOU NOT USE SMITHFIELD 
FARMS WHICH WILL GET YOUR CREDIT
CARD INFORMATION JUST AS MUCH AS
TIKTOK WILL?
>> TIKTOK.
>> Reporter: WITH OR WITHOUT 
TIKTOK, HE SAYS CUT OUT CHINA 
AND YOU GIVE OTHER COUNTRIES AN 
ADVANTAGE.
ELI GLASNER, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: NEXT ON "THE 
NATIONAL," A MOMENT ONE NOVA 
SCOTIA FAMILY WILL NEVER FORGET.
>> JUST BLOWN AWAY.
I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN IN A TOTAL 
TAILSPIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS.
>> Adrienne: AFTER A TERRIBLE 
ACCIDENT, A COMMUNITY SHOWS UP 
WITH A MAJOR SURPRISE, RIGHT 
AFTER THIS.
>> Adrienne: ABBEY FALKENHAM AND
HER DAD WERE HEADING HOME ON
THEIR MOTORCYCLES WHEN SHE WAS 
HIT HEAD ON BY A CAR.
SHE'S OKAY, BUT THERE'S A LONG 
RECOVERY AHEAD OF HER, AND WHILE
SHE'S BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL, HER 
NOVA SCOTIA COMMUNITY BANDED 
TOGETHER AND SNUCK INTO HER 
FAMILY'S FARMHOUSE.
WHAT WERE THEY UP TO?
THAT'S OUR "MOMENT."
*
>> MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE IN A 
VERY SERIOUS MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT
ON JUNE 19, AND SHE'S GOT A VERY
LONG ROAD AHEAD OF HER, BUT 
SHE'S STILL WITH ME.
MY COLLEAGUES IN THE FIRE 
DEPARTMENT CAME AND SNUCK IN AND
TACKLED THIS AND BLITZED 
EVERYTHING THAT WAS LEFT, PILED 
THE WHOLE BIT.
THEY CAME IN AND CLEANED OUT OUR
HORSE STALL AND SHEEP STALLS.
THEY LINE TRIMMED ALL AROUND THE
WHOLE PROPERTY.
I MEAN, THE COMMUNITY DROPPED 
OFF A FREEZER FULL OF MEALS, 
LIKE NOT MEALS TO COME IN AND 
PUT IN OUR FREEZER.
THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A DEEP-FREEZE
THAT THEY DROVE UP THE DRIVEWAY
WITH A TRACTOR AND IT'S IN OUR 
MUDROOM NOW FULL OF MEALS.
PEOPLE HAVE JUST BEEN SO KIND, 
SO GENEROUS AND FIGURING THINGS 
OUT.
WHEN I SEEN THIS, AND I TOTALLY 
REDUCED TO TEARS, I'M LIKE, THIS
IS OUR COMMUNITY.
THIS IS WHAT I KNOW OF 
COLCHESTER AND RURAL NOVA 
SCOTIA.
EVERYONE CHIPS IN AND GETS 
THINGS DONE, AND YEAH, WE DON'T 
KNOW WHAT WE NEED, BUT PEOPLE 
ARE FIGURING IT OUT FOR US.
>> Adrienne: THAT THEY ARE.
SO THE DOCTORS SAID THAT CRASH 
COULD HAVE BEEN UNSURVIVABLE 
BUT, YOU KNOW, ABBEY IS IN THE 
HOSPITAL.
SHE IS RECOVERING.
SHE'S ALSO A JUNIOR MEMBER OF 
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, WHICH MADE,
YOU KNOW, THOSE ACTS OF KINDNESS
THAT MUCH MORE SPECIAL, AND HER 
MOM SAID SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO 
THANK EVERYBODY, BUT SHE FIGURES
BRINGING HER HOME IS THANKS 
ENOUGH, AND SHE'S RIGHT.
THAT IS "THE NATIONAL" FOR 
TUESDAY, JULY 7.
GOOD NIGHT.
