A COVID-19 LESSON FROM THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE WORLD.

IN CASES TEACHES US IN CANADA.

(*)
>>> AN UNSETTLING REMINDER OF
HOW QUICKLY COVID CAN SPREAD AND
HOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN PARTS
OF AUSTRALIA MAY BE A SIGN OF
WHAT'S TO COME WHEN WINTER HITS
HERE.
AUSTRALIA WAS CONSIDERED A
COVID-19 SUCCESS STORY, LIMITING
TOTAL CASES TO ABOUT 18,000 AND
DEATHS TO JUST OVER 200.
UNTIL THE EXPLOSIVE RECENT
OUTBREAK IN THE STATE OF
VICTORIA.
IT RECORDED 671 CASES TODAY
ALONE.
NEIGHBOURING NEW SOUTH WALES
JUST 12.
NATALIE NANOWSKI LOOKS AT THAT
SITUATION AND WHAT IT COULD MEAN
FOR CANADA.
>> Reporter: EMPTY GROCERY
SHELVES AND LINES LOOPING AROUND
THE BLOCK WERE BACK AS VICTORIA
PREPARED FOR THE STRICTEST
LOCKDOWN YET.
THE STATE DEPREMIER HAS NOW
DECLARED A STATE OF DISASTER,
INCLUDING AN 8:00 p.m. CURFEW.
>> IT WILL BE ENFORCED AND YOU
WILL BE STOPPED AND YOU
WILL BE ASKED AND YOU WILL NEED
TO DEMONSTRATE THAT YOU ARE
LAWFULLY OUT AND THAT YOU ARE
NOT BREACHING THAT CURFEW.
>> Reporter: ONLY ONE PERSON
PER HOUSEHOLD IS ALLOWED TO
LEAVE TO PICK UP GROCERIES AND
THEY HAVE TO STAY WITHIN A FIVE
KILOMETRE RADIUS OF THEIR HOME.
A BIG PART OF THIS SPIKE IS NOW
LINKED TO QUARANTINE HOTELS
WHICH WERE SET UP BY THE
GOVERNMENT TO ISOLATE PEOPLE FOR
TWO WEEKS WHEN ENTERING THE
COUNTRY.
OFFICIALS SAY THAT SECURITY
GUARDS WERE POORLY TRAINED AND
PROTOCOLS WERE NOT STRICTLY
ENFORCED.
>> AND THEN THERE'S THE OPENING
OF RESTAURANTS AND BARS, ON THE
OTHER HAND, AND THAT'S WHEN YOU
GET PEOPLE TOGETHER UNDER THE
SAME ROOF SHARING AIR WITHOUT
MASKS AND, OF COURSE, IN
AUSTRALIA NOW IT IS WINTER.
IT IS FLU SEASON AND THAT MAKES
IT WORSE.
>> Reporter: WHEN THE
TEMPERATURES DROP THE RATE OF
INFECTION GOES UP.
WITH OUR FLU SEASON ONLY MONTHS
AWAY, THERE MAY BE LESSONS FOR
CANADIANS TO PREVENT LARGE
OUTBREAKS.
>> WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE
VERY VIGILANT AND I THINK THAT
MASKS ARE AT THE VERY TOP OF THE
LIST.
AS FLU SEASON APPROACHES I'M
ALSO VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BARS
AND RESTAURANTS.
THAT IS, PEOPLE BEING TOGETHER
IN SHARED SPACE,
SHARED AIR, WITHOUT MASKS.
THAT WOULD BE VERY CONCERNING TO
ME AND SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD
CONSIDER ROLLING BACK AS THE
WEATHER GETS COLDER.
>> Reporter: A TOUGH MOVE FOR
MANY BARS AND RESTAURANTS THAT
JUST STARTED LETTING DINERS BACK
INSIDE.
ONE THING THAT AUSTRALIA HAS
DONE WELL IS ACTED SWIFTLY WHEN
OUTBREAKS APPEAR.
>> WE CANNOT HAVE A SITUATION
WHERE THIS CONTINUES TO GROW AND
GROW IN REGIONAL VICTORIA.
>> Reporter: THE HOPE IS THAT
THIS SIX-WEEK LOCKDOWN AND
MASK MANDATES WILL PREVENT
AUSTRALIA'S SECOND WAVE FROM
SPREADING.
NATALIE NANOWSKI, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Ian: SOME COUNTRIES THAT HAD
HOPED THEY HAD SEEN THE WORST OF
COVID-19 ARE ARE NOW DEALING
WITH A RESURGENCE.
SOME LIKE
SPAIN AND THE U.K. AND JAPAN ARE
CONTEMPLATING ON BRINGING BACK
MORE RESTRICTIONS AS THE NUMBERS
CLIMB.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT COVID
AROUND THE WORLD.
LATIN AMERICA IS NOW CLOSING IN
ON FIVE MILLION CASES, MORE THAN
HALF IN BRAZIL, WHICH IS SECOND
ONLY TO THE UNITED STATES IN
TOTAL INFECTIONS.
PERU, COLOMBIA AND ARGENTINA ARE
ALSO HARD HIT.
INDIA HAS PASSED 1.7 MILLION
CASES, AMONG THEM NOW THE
HOSPITALIZED INTERIOR MINISTER.
THOUGH TO THE RELIEF OF FANS A
BOLLYWOOD LEGEND HAS RECOVERED.
SOUTH AFRICA NOW STRUGGLES WITH
MORE THAN HALF A MILLION
RECORDED CASES, HUNDREDS OF
MEDICAL STAFF HAVE BEEN AFFECTED
AT ONE HOSPITAL ALONE.
THE PHILIPPINES ARE DEALING WITH
A SHARP SURGE IS NOW HIRING
MEDICAL WORKERS BY THE
THOUSANDS.
AND ACCORDING TO NORTH KOREAN
STATE MEDIA, THE COUNTRY HAS NO
COVID-19 CASES AT ALL.
IT ALSO CLAIMS THAT IT'S
DEVELOPED A WORKING VACCINE JUST
IN CASE.
THE GLOBAL RESPONSE TO THAT IS,
WELL, AS YOU WOULD EXPECT.
HERE IN CANADA, PROVINCIAL
HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE KEEPING A
CLOSE EYE ON THE NUMBERS AND
WARN ABOUT A RISK OF
OVERCONFIDENCE.
SUSANA da SILVA IS HERE IN
VANCOUVER, WITH A LOOK AT HOW
PEOPLE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA HAVE
BEEN RESPONDING.
>> Reporter: THE GRILL IS HOT,
THE SUN IS SHINING, AND THERE IS
LOTS OF ROOM.
>> EVERYBODY IS NICE, SPREADING
OUT, MAKING SURE THAT EVERYBODY
IS EXTRA SPACED.
>> Reporter: MAKING THE BEST
OF THEIR LONG WEEKEND SINCE
COVID MADE THEM READJUST THEIR
PLANS.
>> WE'RE GOING TO GO CAMPING FOR
A WEEK, BUT WE DECIDED TO DO
LOCAL CAMPING INSTEAD.
>> HAPPY PRIDE!
>> Reporter: SMALL PLANS AND
BIG PLANS, ALL CHANGED.
ONLY A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE TOOK TO
THE STREETS TO CELEBRATE PRIDE
IN VANCOUVER TODAY.
[Cheers and Applause]
COMPARED TO THE HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS THAT NORMALLY GATHER.
INSTEAD THIS YEAR THE
FESTIVITIES MOVED ONLINE.
>> THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL
ALWAYS BE SO MUCH MORE THAN
GATHERING TOGETHER IN PHYSICAL
SPACE.
>> Reporter: AND AFTER FOUR
MONTHS OF CANCELLED EVENTS,
MASKS, DISTANCING, AND A
PROVINCE THAT HAS DONE
RELATIVELY WELL WITH THE
PANDEMIC, THE WORRY IS THAT SOME
MAY RELAX THEIR EFFORTS TO STOP
THE SPREAD OF COVID.
BECAUSE ONE LONG WEEKEND IS ALL
IT CAN TAKE TO SPARK A NEW
OUTBREAK, AS WAS THE CASE WITH
THE CANADA DAY CELEBRATIONS IN
KELOWNA.
A COUPLE OF PRIVATE INDOOR
EVENTS AND NOW AT LEAST 130
CASES IN THE REGION AND MORE
THAN 1,000 PEOPLE TOLD TO
SELF-ISOLATE.
>> I THINK THAT THERE WAS A LOT
OF OPTIMISM PRIOR TO CANADA DAY
AND I THINK THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE
REALISED HOW REAL THIS THING IS,
BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE
TO BE IN A LITTLE BIT OF A
BUBBLE UP TO THAT POINT.
>> Reporter: BUSINESSES SAY
THAT THE WEEKEND HAS BEEN BUSIER
THAN THEY EXPECTED BUT THAT
PROVINCIAL HEALTH OFFICER BONNIE
HENRY'S PLEA TO YOUNG PEOPLE IN
PARTICULAR FOR LESS SPACES AND
LESS RISKY OUTDOOR SPACES,
COMPLETE WITH AN ONLINE
GOOD-TIMES GUIDE FOR
RECOMMENDATIONS, HAS GOTTEN
THROUGH.
>> USE YOUR INFLUENCE TO SHARE A
MESSAGE WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND
YOUR CONNECTIONS -- DON'T LET
COVID-19 SPOIL OUR SUMMER.
>> Reporter: BUT BESIDES SOME
FUN IN THE SUMMER SUN, WE WON'T
KNOW IF THIS LONG WEEKEND WILL
ALSO BRING A SPIKE IN CASES FOR
A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
SUSANA da SILVA, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Ian: IN THE UNITED STATES,
THE WHITE HOUSE CORONAVIRUS TASK
FORCE IS IMPLORING PEOPLE TO
TAKE MORE PRECAUTIONS.
THIS COMES AS THE NUMBER OF
DEATHS NEARS 155,000.
OVER THE LAST SIX DAYS MORE THAN
A THOUSAND AMERICANS EACH DAY
WERE LOST TO COVID.
WHILE DONALD TRUMP LOSES GROUND
AT THE POLLS OVER HIS HANDLING
OF THE PANDEMIC, PAUL HUNTER
TELLS US THAT THE PRESIDENT AND
HIS TEAM ARE STILL STRUGGLING TO
STAY ON THE SAME PAGE.
>> Reporter: IN AN ALREADY
EFFECTIVELY OUT OF CONTROL
HORROR SHOW OF WARNING TODAY
FROM THE COORDINATOR OF THE
WHITE HOUSE CORONAVIRUS TASK
FORCE --
>> WE ARE IN A NEW PHASE.
>> Reporter: A NEW PHASE, SAYS
DEBORAH BIRKS AND WITH
NUMBERS STILL GROWING IT'S A
SOBERING ONE.
>> WHAT WE'RE SEEING TODAY IS
DIFFERENT FROM MARCH AND APRIL.
IT IS EXTRAORDINARILY
WIDESPREAD, IT IS INTO THE RURAL
AS EQUAL URBAN AREAS, AND TO
EVERYBODY WHO LIVES IN A RURAL
AREA YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE OR
PROTECTED FROM THIS VIRUS.
>> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT
CRITICIZED FOR INACTION
THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE CRISIS
SPENT SOME OF THE WEEKEND
GOLFING.
AND WAS CHEERED BY A SMALL CROWD
AS HE DROVE HOME TODAY.
COVID IS SURE TO DOMINATE THE
LOOMING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION,
AND ON THAT TRUMP FACED FIERCE
PUSHBACK ON HIS APPARENT
SUGGESTION THAT THE VOTE OUGHT
TO BE DELAYED, CITING WITHOUT
EVIDENCE THE RISK OF FRAUD IF
COVID MEANS MORE BALLOTS ARE
CAST BY MAIL.
TODAY A CLARIFICATION --
>> HE HAS NOT LOOKED AT DELAYING
ANY -- ANY ELECTION.
WHAT WE WILL DO IS IF WE TRY TO
TRANSFORM THIS AND START MAILING
IN BALLOTS ALL ACROSS THE
COUNTRY,
ALL 50 STATES, WHAT WE WILL SEE
IS A DELAY BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST
NOT EQUIPPED TO HANDLE IT.
>> Reporter: THIS AS
ANTICIPATION GROWS FOR JOE
BIDEN'S DECISION THIS WEEK ON A
RUNNINGMATE.
MOST PREDICT THAT HE'LL CHOOSE A
BLACK WOMAN.
EACH OF THOSE ON THE LIKELY
SHORTLIST UNDERLINE THEY'RE
READY FOR WHAT IS NEEDED,
INCLUDING THE LATEST TO EMERGE
AS A POTENTIAL BIDEN FAVOURITE.
>> IF I'M ON THE TICKET OR NOT,
I WILL WORK JUST AS HARD TO GET
HIM ELECTED BECAUSE I BELIEVE HE
HAS THE LEADERSHIP TO GET US OUT
OF THIS CRISIS.
>> Reporter: MEANWHILE, WORD
THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS TO
NOMINATE TRUMP FOR RE-ELECTION
SET FOR LATER THIS MONTH IN
NORTH CAROLINA IS BEING SCALED
BACK EVEN FURTHER BECAUSE OF
COVID.
THE LATEST?
NO REPORTERS WILL BE ALLOWED.

TRUMP HAS TALKED ABOUT BANNING
THE SITE BECAUSE OF CONCERNS
ABOUT SECURITY.
MICROSOFT SAY THAT THEY WILL

8,000 PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR HOMES
EAST OF LOS ANGELES AND SCORCHED

>> OH, MY GOD.

>> Ian: WELL, HERE IN CANADA
THINGS GOT A BIT SCARY THIS
AFTERNOON AS THREE OR FOUR
SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS WENT
THROUGH EASTERN ONTARIO.
TORNADO WARNINGS THERE AND IN
GATINEAU, QUÉBEC, HAVE NOW BEEN
DOWNGRADED.
ENVIRONMENT CANADA REPORTED
DAMAGE TO ROOFS AND TREES AND
DOWNED POWERLINES IN SOME SMALL
COMMUNITIES.
ALSO WHAT SEEMED TO BE VIDEO OF
A TORNADO.
>>> ALLEGATIONS OF POLICE
BRUTALITY HAVE SURFACED
FREQUENTLY IN RECENT MONTHS IN
THE U.S. AND IN CANADA.
NOW THE RCMP HAS SHOWN ITS OWN
FIGURES TO CBC NEWS AND THEY
SUGGEST THAT COMPLAINTS THAT ITS
OFFICERS USED IMPROPER FORCE
VERY RARELY STAND UP.
OLIVIA STEFANOVICH LOOKS INTO
WHY.
>> Reporter: THESE ARE JUST
SOME OF THE RECENT INCIDENTS
THAT LED TO ALLEGATIONS OF
IMPROPER USE OF FORCE BY
CANADA'S NATIONAL POLICE
SERVICE.
THE RCMP TELL CBC NEWS THAT IN
99% OF COMPLAINTS OVER THE PAST
FIVE YEARS, THEIR OFFICERS WERE
IN THE RIGHT.
>> POLICE ARE ALLOWED TO USE A
FAIRLY HIGH LEVEL OF FORCE.
AND I THINK THAT IS WHERE
THERE'S A
DISCONNECT.
>> Reporter: THE QUESTION
COMES DOWN TO WHETHER AN
OFFICER'S ACTIONS ARE REASONABLE
IN THE FACE OF A PERCEIVED
THREAT.
>> VERY FEW PEOPLE INVITE POLICE
OVER FOR A PIECE OF CAKE OR THEY
WON LOTTO 649.
POLICE RESPOND TO CONFLICT.
>> Reporter: SOME SAY THAT THE
WAY THAT POLICE EVALUATE THAT
RESPONSE IS A PROBLEM AND THE
POLICE DEFINITION OF "IMPROPER
USE OF FORCE" IS TOO NARROW.
>> HOW DID THEY DECIDE WHAT IS
IMPROPER AND WHAT IS NOT
IMPROPER?
>> Reporter: THIS FORMER
POLICE BOARD CHAIR SAYS THAT
THERE NEEDS TO BE A NEW
DEFINITION, OVERSEEN BY AN
OUTSIDE BODY INDEPENDENTLY
INVESTIGATING ALL COMPLAINTS.
>> THIS TASK CANNOT BE DONE BY
AN INTERNAL BODY.
>> Reporter: EXPERTS SAY AN
INDEPENDENT BODY MAY ALSO
ELIMINATE PEOPLE'S FEAR OF
FILING A COMPLAINT, WHICH COULD
PARTLY EXPLAIN THE LOW NUMBER.
>> THEY MAY WORRY ABOUT
RETALIATION.
THEY MAY WORRY THAT THEIR VOICE
WON'T BE ACCEPTED, THAT THEIR
PERSPECTIVE WILL NOT BE HEARD.
>> Reporter: THERE'S ALSO
CALLS FOR BETTER TRAINING.
SOME OFFICERS ONLY GET A FEW
HOURS EACH YEAR TO REFRESH THEIR
SKILLS ON HOW TO ACT IN
POTENTIALLY VOLATILE SITUATIONS.
>> THAT WOULD DRAMATICALLY
REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF
CONTROVERSIAL USE OF FORCE
EPISODES THAT WE'RE WITNESSING
TODAY.
>> Reporter: HE SAYS IF PEOPLE
WANT POLICE BEHAVIOUR TO CHANGE,
THEN THE LAWS WILL NEED TO SPELL
OUT WHAT THEY'RE ALLOWED TO DO.
THE PUBLIC SAFETY MINISTER IS
WORKING ON UPDATING STANDARDS TO
REBUILD ERODED TRUST BETWEEN THE
PUBLIC AND THOSE IN POWER TO
POLICE THEM.
OLIVIA STEFANOVICH, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> Ian: THIS SPRING AS THE
PANDEMIC SPREAD, DOCTORS AT SOME
MATERNITY WARDS BEGAN TO NOTICE
SOMETHING THEY WEREN'T EXPECTING
OR COULD UNDERSTAND -- A
DRAMATIC DROP IN THE NUMBER OF
PRE-TERM BABIES BEING BORN.
AS CAROLYN DUNN TELLS US, THE
QUESTION REMAINS -- WHY?
>> Reporter: AS THE WORLD
LOCKED DOWN TO SLOW A PANDEMIC,
AN UNEXPECTED QUESTION FROM
NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNITS.
>> ONE OF THE PHYSICIANS OR
NEONATAL PHYSICIANS HAD SAID
THAT WE ARE NOT SEEING TOO MANY
SMALL BABIES ANYMORE THESE DAYS.
WHERE DID ALL OF THESE BABIES
WENT OR GO?
>> Reporter: HE KNEW THAT IT
MUST BE MORE THAN JUST A BLIP
WHEN THE DEMAND FOR DONATED
BREAST MILK PLUMMETED TOO.
DR. ALSHAIK DISCOVERED DURING
THE
LOCKDOWN THERE WAS A NEARLY 40%
DROP IN VERY PREMATURE BABIES
BORN IN CALGARY.
AND HE WASN'T ALONE.
NEONATOLOGISTS AROUND THE WORLD
ARE REPORTING UNEXPECTED BIG
DROPS IN VERY EARLY PRE-TERM
BIRTHS.
DR. ROY PHILIP WAS AMONG THE
FIRST TO DISCOVER AND PUBLISH
THE TREND.
>> ANOTHER WEEK WENT AND THEN
THERE WAS ALMOST A MONTH AND
THERE IS NO SMALL BABY.
THAT WAS ALMOST LIKE A 73%
REDUCTION FOR OUR TREND, NOT
JUST FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS, BUT
FOR THE PREVIOUS 20 YEARS.
SO THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT
REDUCTION.
>> Reporter: WHY?
THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION THAT
STILL NEEDS A LOT OF STUDY.
PERHAPS DOCTORS WONDER IF A
MARKED REDUCTION IN AIR
POLLUTION IS PART OF THE ANSWER.
OR MAYBE THE PANDEMIC ACTUALLY
REDUCED SOME STRESSES.
>> MAYBE WOMEN ARE EXPERIENCING
LESS STRESS AT WORK AND LESS
STRESS MAYBE FROM COMMUTING AND
MORE
FAMILY SUPPORT AT HOME.
ALSO THEY MAY HAVE ALSO AVOIDED
NOT ONLY THE CORONAVIRUS, BUT
OTHER KINDS OF INFECTIONS, OTHER
KIND OF VIRAL INFECTIONS.
>> THE LOCKDOWN OFFERED US AN
UNBELIEVABLE NATURE EXPERIMENT
WITH SO
MANY VARIABLES THAT WERE ALMOST
IMPOSED ON SOCIETY.
>> Reporter: A UNIQUE
OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY THE CAUSES
OF PREMATURE BIRTHS AND PERHAPS
IN THE FUTURE TO HELP BRING MORE
TINY BABIES TO FULL TERM.
CAROLYN DUNN, CBC NEWS, CALGARY.
>> Ian: THERE'S BEEN A BOOST FOR
SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS IN CANADA.
FEDERAL LOANS TO HELP TO KEEP
THEM AFLOAT DURING THE PANDEMIC.
BUT FOUR MONTHS ON SOME BUSINESS
OWNERS SAY THEY'RE STILL
FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS.
AARON SALTZMAN HAS THE DETAILS.
>> AND HOLD AND BREATHE...
>> Reporter: HER STUDIO
SHUTTERED BY THE PANDEMIC, MIKA
YOUNG IS EEKING OUT A LIVING BY
HOLDING ONLINE YOGA CLASSES.
>> I'M MAKING LESS THAN 10% OF
WHAT I NORMALLY MAKE.
>> Reporter: SHE'S COLLECTING
CERB AND HAS DEFERRED HER HOME
MORTGAGE PAYMENTS AND HOPED TO
TAP INTO THE CANADA EMERGENCY
BUSINESS ACCOUNTS.
CEBA OFFERS INTEREST-FREE LOANS
OF UP TO $40,000.
BUSINESSES ONLY HAVE TO
REPAY THREE-QUARTERS OF THAT IF
PAID BACK BY THE END OF 2022.
BY MOST ACCOUNTS THE PROGRAMME
HAS BEEN A BIG SUCCESS, NEARLY
700,000 APPLICANTS HAVE RECEIVED
MORE THAN $27 BILLION.
THE NONEY CAME QUICKLY AND WAS
EASILY ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THE
BANKS AND DIDN'T PILE ON
INTEREST-BEARING DEBT THAT WOULD
MEAN A BIGGER BILL LATER.
>> THE CEBA PROGRAMME HAS BEEN A
REAL LIFELINE TO HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF SMALL AND
MEDIUM-SIZED FIRMS THAT REALLY
HAD NOWHERE ELSE TO TURN AT THE
START OF THE EMERGENCY.
>> Reporter: BUT CEBA ALSO HAS
ITS FLAWS.
>> AS A BUSINESS DECISION IT
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE NOT TO TAKE
FREE
$10,000.
>> Reporter: THIS ACCOUNTANT
FOR A BUSINESS TO APPROVE THAT
IT'S HURT BY THE PANDEMIC IN
ORDER TO APPLY.
AND SHE SAYS THAT SHE KNOWS OF
SOME THAT DIDN'T NEED THE LOAN,
BUT TOOK THE MONEY ANYWAY.
>> THEY'LL JUST KEEP IT AND
COLLECT INTEREST ON IT.
AND SOME HAVE CHOSEN TO PLAY THE
STOCK MARKET WITH IT BECAUSE
THERE'S NO CHECKS AND BALANCES
IN PLACE RIGHT NOW IT'S REALLY A
WILD WEST OUT THERE WHAT YOU DO
WITH THIS MONEY.
>> Reporter: MEANWHILE SOME
OTHERS WHO DO NEED THE MONEY SAY
THEY CAN'T GET IT.
MIKA YOUNG'S YOGA BUSINESS
DIDN'T MEET THE MINIMUM PAYROLL
REQUIREMENT AND THOUGH THE
GOVERNMENT RE-JIGGED THAT
PREREQUISITE LAST MONTH SHE SAYS
THAT SHE STILL DOESN'T MEET THE
NEW CRITERIA WHICH IS BASED ON
NON-DEFERRABLE EXPENSES.
>> I JUST FEEL THAT THERE'S NO
HELP FOR THE SMALLER BUSINESSES
THAT ARE REALLY STRUGGLING.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT SCARY AND, OF
COURSE, I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO
LOSE MY HOME.
>> Reporter: BUT HER BUSINESS
FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS OF
GOVERNMENT SUPPORT, HER HOME
MORTGAGE DEFERRAL SET TO END IN
A LITTLE OVER A MONTH, SHE'S NOW
CONTACTED A REAL ESTATE AGENT.

>> Ian: THE PANDEMIC HAS THROWN
A WRENCH INTO HOLIDAY TRAVEL
THIS SUMMER.
BORDERS ARE CLOSED, FLIGHTS
CANCELLED AND MANY OF US ARE
LOOKING FOR WAYS TO VACATION
CLOSER TO HOME.
AS BRIAR STEWART EXPLAINS,
THAT'S MEANT THE SALE OF BOATS
AND R.V.s IS GOING FULL
THROTTLE.
>> Reporter: THIS FAMILY-OWNED
COMPANY HAS BEEN MAKING BOATS
FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS AND THESE
DAYS BUSINESS IS BOOMING.
>> I WOULD SAY THAT IT'S AT
LEAST TRIPLE FROM LAST YEAR AND
EVEN OUR SALES HAVE TRIPLED IN
THE USED MARKET.
>> Reporter: BUSINESS STARTED
RAMPING UP IN MAY WITH MANY
FIRST-TIME BUYERS AND THOSE LIKE
DON SADLER LOOKING TO BUY A
SECOND BOAT.
>> IT'S JUST A TOTAL RELEASE.
ONCE YOU GET PAST THE DOCK AND
YOU GET OUT ON THE WATER IT'S
LIKE ALL OF YOUR TROUBLES JUST
MELT AWAY.
>> Reporter: AND HE SAYS
HAVING A BOAT ALLOWS HIM TO
TRAVEL TO HIS CABIN WHILE
AVOIDING THE FERRIES WHICH ARE
FREQUENTLY BOOKED UP DURING THE
SUMMER.
ALL ACROSS CANADA, BOAT DEALERS
ARE REPORTING A BUMP IN BUYERS.
>> SO OVER HERE WE HAVE PO PONTOON
BOATS.
THESE BOATS ARE PROBABLY ONE OF
THE MORE POPULAR BOATS RIGHT
NOW.
>> Reporter: HE LISTS NEW
AND USED BOATS FOR SALE ACROSS
THE COUNTRY.
>> SALES ARE AT A RECORD HIGH.
AND THE BIG THING RIGHT NOW IS
DEALERS HAVING ENOUGH INVENTORY
FOR THE REST OF THE SUMMER.
>> Reporter: HE ATTRIBUTES THE
DEMAND TO A CHANGE IN PEOPLE'S
HOLIDAY PLANS AND A DESIRE TO
FIND SOMETHING FUN TO DO THAT
FITS WITH PHYSICAL DISTANCING.
THE R.V. INDUSTRY THINKS THAT'S
ALSO BEHIND THE SURGE IT'S
SEEING.
>> THERE'S ALL DIFFERENT FLOOR
PLANS THAT YOU CAN GET.
>> Reporter: THE ASSOCIATION
REPRESENTING R.V. DEALERS SAY
THAT SALES ARE UP SIGNIFICANTLY.
MEMBERS REPORT SEEING INCREASES
BETWEEN 120% AND 140%.
>> GETTING OUT AND GETTING OUT
OF TOWN AND GOING INTO A
CAMPSITE WHERE YOU CAN GO FOR A
NICE HIKE.
>> Reporter: SOME CUSTOMERS
HAVE BEEN THINKING OF BUYING AN
R.V. FOR A WHILE BUT THE
PANDEMIC AND ALL OF THE
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
RESTRICTIONS MEANT THAT THE
TIMING REALLY MADE SENSE FOR
THEM.
>> IT'S SAFER BECAUSE WE'RE JUST
TOGETHER, WE'RE NOT AROUND
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN A MOTEL.
>> Reporter: INSTEAD, MORE
PEOPLE ARE LOOKING TO HEAD OUT
ON THEIR OWN AND WITH THEIR
FAMILIES.
WHETHER THAT MEANS A TRIP DOWN
THE HIGHWAY OR ON THE WATER.
BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Ian: AFTER TWO MONTHS ON THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION, THE
SPACEX CREW RETURNS TO EARTH.
>> SPLASHDOWN.
>> Ian: UP NEXT, HOW TODAY'S
SPLASHDOWN HAS CHANGED THE
FUTURE OF SPACE TRAVEL.
>>> PLUS, "HOCKEY NIGHT IN
CANADA" IS BACK.
>> WE'RE LEARNING THAT THE GAME
IS STILL THE GAME, BUT THAT FANS
DO HAVE AN IMPACT.
>> Ian: WHAT IT'S LIKE TO CALL
THE GAME DURING THIS COVID ERA.
WE'LL GET OUR OWN HOCKEY
PLAY-BY-PLAY.
>>> LATER, TORONTO'S CARIBBEAN
CARNIVAL GOES VIRTUAL.
>> I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS PRETTY
MUCH EVERY YEAR OF MY ENTIRE
LIFE AS FAR AS I REMEMBER.
AND ONE YEAR WAS NOT GOING TO
PASS WHERE I DIDN'T CELEBRATE.
>> Ian: HOW THE COMMUNITY IS
SPLASHDOWN.
[Applause]
>> Ian: WELL, THAT WAS THE
CRUCIAL MOMENT THIS AFTERNOON
WHEN THE FUTURE OF SPACE FLIGHT
CHANGED COURSE.
THE SAFE SPLASHDOWN OF TWO
ASTRONAUTS USING PRIVATELY-OWNED
EQUIPMENT MEANS A LOT MORE IS
NOW POSSIBLE.
THE DRAGON CAPSULE BELONGS TO
ELON MUSK'S COMPANY SPACEX, JUST
ONE OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR
PLAYERS AIMING FOR THE MOON AND
BEYOND.
SIMON NAKONECHNY SHOWS US HOW IT
ALL PLAYED OUT AND WHY IT WILL
GO DOWN IN HISTORY.
>> LIFTOFF OF THE FALCON 9...
AND CREW DRAGON,
GO, NASA, GO SPACEX.
GOD'S SPEED, BOB AND DOUG.
>> Reporter: IT WAS THE FIRST
TIME IN ALMOST A DECADE THAT
AMERICA LAUNCHED ITS OWN
ASTRONAUTS INTO ORBIT.
AND THE FIRST TIME THAT A
PRIVATE COMPANY, SPACEX,
ACCOMPLISHED THE FEAT.
ASTRONAUTS BOB BEHNKEN AND DOUG
HURLEY WENT UP FOR A TWO-MONTH
STAY ON THE SPACE STATION.
NOW COULD THEY MAKE IT BACK
DOWN?
>> THIS IS A PROTOTYPE MISSION,
THIS IS A
TEST FLIGHT.
SO IT'S ONE THING TO GO TO SPACE
BUT THE ACTUAL END OF THE TEST
IS WHEN THE CREW IS BACK ON
EARTH SAFE AND SOUND.
>> Reporter: TODAY DAVID
SAINT-JACQUES WATCHED HIS
COLLEAGUES, ALSO FRIENDS,
PLUMMET FROM THE SKY
AT HUNDREDS OF KILOMETRES PER
HOUR.
THE FRICTION OF RE-ENTRY
GENERATED HEAT ON THE CAPSULE
OF NEARLY 2,000 DEGREES CELSIUS.
THEN THE PARACHUTES CAME OUT.
THE DRAGON SHIP ENDEAVOR
SPLASHED SAFELY INTO THE GULF OF
MEXICO.
>> SPLASHDOWN.
>> FOR ANYONE WHO TOUCHED
ENDEAVOR, YOU SHOULD TAKE A
MOMENT TO
JUST CHERISH THIS DAY AND
ESPECIALLY GIVEN ALL OF THE
THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED THIS
YEAR.
>> Reporter: AT THIS SPACE
MUSEUM NEAR MONTRÉAL, THE
MISSION SPARKED EXCITEMENT, AND
SOME BIG DREAMS.
>> IT SOUNDS REALLY EXCITING SO
HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT YEAR AND
MAYBE DECADES WE'LL BE ABLE TO
GO AS TOURISTS IN SPACE.
>> WELL, IT'S BEEN MY DREAM FOR
A VERY LONG TIME.
>> IN 20 YEARS HE CAN PAY FOR
HIS TRIP TO SPACE.
[laughter]
>> CELEBRATING WITH EACH
OTHER --
>> Reporter: THIS MISSION WAS
THE FINAL TEST FLIGHT FOR SPACEX
AS IT SEEKS NASA CERTIFICATION.
ELON MUSK'S COMPANY EVENTUALLY
WANTS TO SEND PEOPLE TO THE MOON
AGAIN, EVEN TO MARS.
WHILE JUST ANOTHER SMALL STEP
FOR HUMANITY'S JOURNEY IN SPACE,
IT'S A GIANT LEAP FOR THE FUTURE
OF PRIVATE SPACE TRAVEL.
>> WELCOME BACK TO PLANET EARTH.
THANKS FOR FLYING SPACEX.
>> Reporter: SIMON NAKONECHNY
CBC NEWS, MONTRÉAL.
>> Ian: SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
FOR THE FUTURE OF SPACE TRAVEL?
LET'S CHECK IN WITH BOB
McDONALD, THE HOST OF CBC
RADIO'S "QUIRKS AND QUARKS."
AND, BOB, WE'VE GROWN UP WITH
THE IDEA OF GOVERNMENT
SUPPORTING SPACE EXPLORATION.
BUT WHAT DOES SPACEX MEAN FOR
THE FUTURE OF FLIGHT INTO SPACE?
>> WE NOW SEE IT HANDED OVER TO
THE PRIVATE SECTOR, AND THAT IS
MAKING IT A LOT CHEAPER.
THE COST TO FLY ON DRAGON IS
$50 MILLION PER SEAT.
NOW, THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY, BUT
THAT'S LESS THAN HALF WHAT IT
COSTS TO GO UP ON THE SPACE
SHUTTLE IN THE OLD DAYS, THEY
WERE OVER A $100 MILLION.
IT'S EVEN LESS THAN WHAT THE
RUSSIANS
WERE CHARGING TO GO UP.
SO THAT'S IT.
AND SPACEX IS DOING EVERYTHING
THEMSELVES, AND THEY USUALLY
HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT
CONTRACTORS IN THE COUNTRY AND
THEY ALL HAVE TO COME TOGETHER.
SPACEX IS UNDER ONE ROOF AND
THEY'RE JUST USING NASA LIKE A
PAID CUSTOMER.
WHICH MEANS THAT THEY CAN SELL
FLIGHTS TO OTHER PAID CUSTOMERS.
TOURISTS WHO WANT TO GO TO SPACE 
AND ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GET UP
THERE AND CAN AFFORD THE
TICKET -- THEY BECOME THE
AIRLINER -- THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY
FOR SPACE.
SO IT'S AN ENTIRELY NEW ERA.
>> Ian: AND SPACEX HAS ANOTHER
MISSION VERY SOON.
TELL US ABOUT THAT.
>> AN EVEN BIGGER SPACESHIP AND
IT'S CALLED STAR SHIP.
AND IT'S GOING TO JUST MAKE A
SHORT HOP, GO UP AND HOVER AND
THEN COME BACK DOWN AGAIN.
IT LANDS ON ITS FEET.
THEY PLAN TO GO TO THE MOON AND
A LARGER VERSION TO EVEN GO TO
MARS.
ELON MUNK WANTS TO BUILD A
MARTIAN COLONY.
SO BOTH SPACEX AND NASA AND
BOEING, THEY'RE ALL LOOKING
TOWARDS THE MOON NOW, TO GO
THERE, TO BUILD A COLONY, TO
BUILD A SPACE STATION AROUND THE
MOON AND GO THERE AND STAY, AND
NOT JUST MAKE FOOTPRINTS AND
PLANT A FLAG.
SO IT'S AN EXCITING TIME IN
SPACE EXPLORATION, IAN.
>> Ian: WELL, AS EXCITING AND
ENCHASTING AS ALL OF THAT
SOUNDS, SO IS YOUR MODE OF
TRANSPORTATION, YOUR SAILBOAT
THERE.
SO ENJOY THE GULF ISLANDS.
>> THANK YOU, IAN.
>> Ian: WHEN WE COME BACK, AN
UNPRECEDENTED SEASON FOR
UNPRECEDENTED TIMES.
>> AT PLAYOFF TIME IT'S USUALLY
ELECTRIC.
THE HAIR ON THE BACK OF YOUR
NECK IS STANDING UP BECAUSE OF
FANS.
>> Ian: HOW COVID-19 HAS CHANGED
THE SIGHTS AND THE SOUNDS OF
PLAYOFF HOCKEY.
MY CONVERSATION WITH THE
PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCER CHRIS
CUTHBERT BUT FIRST --

HE APPEARED IN MOVIES SUCH AS
>> PHIL MYRE SCORES, RIGHT BACK!
THERE'S THE ANSWER, PHIL MYRES
WITH THE POINT.
>> Ian: HE SHOOTS AND SCORES AS
THE STANLEY CUP TOURNAMENT BEGAN
THIS WEEKEND AND THERE'S A LOT
OF HOCKEY TO PLAY -- 16 GAMES IN
THE SPAN OF THREE DAYS.
A JAM-PACKED 2014 PLAYOFF,
UNLIKE ANY
OTHER STANLEY CUP RUN THAT WE
HAVE SEEN BEFORE.
IT WAS A LONG WAIT TO WATCH
MEANINGFUL GAMES,   42 DAYS TO
BE EXACT.
AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IT IS
HOCKEY NIGHT AND DAY IN THE
SUMMER.
>> THIS IS ALL ABOUT GETTING
READY FOR THE WEEKEND.
IN FRONT AND HE SCORES.
>> Ian: IF ANYONE WONDERED
WHETHER CANADIANS MISSED HOCKEY,
WELL THE ANSWER CAME WITH THE
FIRST TWO EXHIBITION GAMES ON
TUESDAY.
TORONTO AGAINST MONTRÉAL --
>> THERE'S THE HORN A LITTLE BIT
LATE.
>> Ian: AND THE BATTLE OF
ALBERTA.
>> REBOUND, SCORES!
>> Ian: SPORTSNET SAYS THAT THEY
WERE THE TWO MOST WATCHED
EXHIBITION GAMES EVER ON THE
CABLE SPORTS CHANNEL, MORE THAN
FOUR MILLION VIEWERS IN ALL.
>> SHOOT, REBOUND, SCORES!
>> Ian: AND CALLING THE WESTERN
GAMES A FAMILIAR VOICE, CHRIS
CUTHBERT WHO RETURNS TO "HOCKEY
NIGHT IN CANADA" AFTER MANY
YEARS AT TSN.
WELL, CHRIS, IT'S REALLY NICE TO
TALK TO YOU.
AND WELCOME BACK TO
"HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA."
>> IT'S NICE TO BE BACK AND I
DON'T HAVE THE POWDER BLUE
JERSEY, OR JACKET, BUT IT IS
REALLY EXCITING TO BE BACK ON
"HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA."
>> Ian: SO YOU'RE CALLING THE
GAMES FROM INSIDE OF THE RINK
BUT YOU'RE NOT IN THE BUBBLE.
EXPLAIN THAT FOR ME.
>> WELL, WE ARE ALLOWED ACCESS
TO THE RINK, BUT NOT DOWN WHERE
THE PLAYERS ARE, WHICH IS A
DIFFERENCE FOR US.
USUALLY ON GAMEDAY WE GET A
CHANCE TO TALK TO PLAYERS AFTER
THE MORNING SKATE, BUT THERE IS
NONE OF THAT ACCESS.
WE ARE TAKEN BY A SPECIAL
ENTRANCE UP TO THE BROADCAST
LEVEL WHICH IS FLOOR FIVE.
BUT THE ADVANTAGE THAT WE HAVE
IS WHEN THE GAME IS OVER, WE CAN
WALK OUT OF THE BUILDING, WALK
BACK TO THE HOTEL.
WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE RIVER
VALLEY ON
A GREAT DAY IN EDMONTON.
SO THAT'S ONE OF THE BIG
DIFFERENCES.
BUT ACCESS TO PLAYERS JUST ISN'T
LIKE IT USUALLY IS.
>> Ian: SO THINK BACK TO
TUESDAY -- THAT FIRST GAME IN
THIS NEW SEASON, I GUESS, AN
EXHIBITION GAME.
YOU WALK INTO THAT RINK FOR THE
FIRST TIME.
WHAT WERE YOUR IMPRESSIONS OF
THE NEW NHL?
>> WELL, THERE IS A WOW FACTOR.
I THINK THAT MIGHT SURPRISE YOU
THAT THE STAGING OF THIS EVENT
IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE BY THE NHL.
THEY MIGHT BE UP FOR A CANADIAN
SCREEN AWARD FOR SOME KIND OF
STAGING OR SET DESIGN, BECAUSE
THEY'VE DONE A NICE JOB THAT
WAY.
THEY'RE TRYING TO GIVE SOME
ATMOSPHERE IN THE BUILDING.
THERE'S VIDEOS FROM FANS, THE
HOME TEAM GETS THE SAME KIND OF
VIDEO PRESENTATION THEY HAVE IN
THEIR HOME RINK.
SO THEY'RE TRYING, BUT,
OBVIOUSLY, WITHOUT FANS IT'S
JUST NOT THE SAME.
AT PLAYOFF TIME IT'S USUALLY
ELECTRIC.
THE HAIR ON THE BACK OF YOUR
NECK IS STANDING UP BECAUSE OF
FANS.
AND SO THAT IS OBVIOUSLY THE
BIGGEST DIFFERENCE.
>> Ian: OKAY, I WANT TO SHOW
SOME VIDEO FROM A WEDNESDAY
NIGHT GAME.
>> THERE'S A HUGE HIT --
>> Ian: THERE'S A HIT IN THE
GAME BETWEEN WINNIPEG AND
VANCOUVER.
AND I GUESS THAT IN A REGULAR
GAME, ESPECIALLY IF IT WERE TO
BE PLAYED IN WINNIPEG, THAT
WOULD
JUST TURN THE CROWD ON.
AND YOU CAN FEED OFF THAT BY THE
PLAY-BY-PLAY GUY.
HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THAT IN
THESE CIRCUMSTANCES?
>> WELL, IT IS DIFFERENT.
I MEAN, YOU WOULD PROBABLY LAY
OUT SHORTLY AFTER THAT TO HEAR
THAT EMOTION FROM THE FANS, AND
OFTEN THAT WILL CHANGE THE
MOMENTUM IN A GAME.
I KNOW THAT A MEMBER OF THE
MINNESOTA WILD WHO PLAYS THE
SAME PHYSICAL ROLE, MARCUS
FILINO SAID
THAT I'M NOT SURE IF I GO OUT
AND I MAKE THAT BIG HIT THAT
IT'S GOING TO CAUSE THE SAME
DOMINO EFFECT THAT IT NORMALLY
WOULD WITH FANS.
CAN IT ENERGY THE BENCH THE SAME
WAY WITHOUT THE FAN REACTION?
I THINK WE'RE LEARNING THAT THE
GAME IS STILL THE GAME BUT THAT
THE FANS DO HAVE AN IMPACT ON
THE GAME.
>> Ian: AND LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT
COVID, OBVIOUSLY, ALL OF THIS
HAPPENING UNDER THE CLOUD OF
COVID.
HOW CONCERNED ARE YOU AND YOUR
BROADCAST CREWS, IS IT SOMETHING
THAT YOU GUYS ARE THINKING ABOUT
ALL OF THE TIME?
>> WELL, WE HAVE SOCIAL
DISTANCING.
WHEN WE'RE ON THE FIFTH FLOOR OR
ANYWHERE IN THE BUILDING WE WEAR
A MASK UNTIL THE BROADCAST
BEGINS.
YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WE'VE
REALLY GOT TO SALUTE THE PLAYERS
FOR THEIR ADHERENCE TO PROTOCOL
AND FOR TAKING THE NECESSARY
MEASURES.
I MEAN, IT'S PHENOMENAL THAT
SINCE PHASE THREE WHEN THEY ALL
GATHERED TOGETHER FOR THEIR
TRAINING CAMPS THAT NOBODY HAS
TESTED POSITIVE SINCE THAT
POINT.
I THINK THAT IS REALLY A
TESTAMENT TO THE PLAYERS AND TO
THE LEAGUE FOR GETTING IT RIGHT
IN THE PROTOCOL THEY SET, TO GET
US HERE.
I THINK THAT THE MOST DIFFICULT
THING WAS TO GET FROM PHASE
THREE AND GET EVERYBODY TO THE
HUBS.
AND NOW THE ENVIRONMENT IS AS
CONTROLLED AS WE CAN HAVE IT.
CLEARLY, THERE'S A LOT OF ROOM
FOR ERROR YET, BUT SO FAR SO
GOOD.
>> Ian: AND ONE LAST THING, AND
THIS MAY BE THE TOUGHEST
QUESTION OF ALL -- SOME PEOPLE
ARE WORRIED THAT THERE'S GOING
TO BE AN ASTERISK AFTER THE NAME
OF THIS YEAR'S STANLEY CUP
WINNER.
WHAT IS YOUR VIEW OF THAT?
>> I DON'T THINK THAT -- I'M NOT
AN ASTERISK GUY.
I THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE
AS HARD TO WIN AS EVER.
IN FACT, IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE
HARDER.
IF A TEAM IN THIS QUALIFYING
ROUND ENDS UP WINNING THE
STANLEY CUP -- INSTEAD OF 16
WINS, IT IS 19 WINS.
AND I THINK THAT THIS MIGHT BE
HARDER THAN EVER TO WIN WHAT
SOME PEOPLE FEEL IS THE HARDEST
TROPHY TO WIN ANYWAY.
>> Ian: WELL, IT SURE IS NICE
HAVING YOUR VOICE BACK ON
"HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA" ON THE
PLAYOFFS.
CHRIS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> EXCITED TO BE ON "HOCKEY
NIGHT IN CANADA" AND WITH YOU,
IAN.
THANK YOU.
>> Ian: MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL IS 
CONTINUING TO STRUGGLE WITH ITS
SHORT ENDED SEASON.
MORE POSITIVE TESTS HAVE FORCED
THE POSTPONEMENT OF A 19th
GAME IN 11 DAYS.
AT LEAST TWO MORE PLAYERS HAVE
CHOSEN TO OPT OUT OF THE
REMAINDER OF THIS SEASON CITING
UNCERTAINTY SURROUNDING THE
GAME.
THE LEAGUE'S COMMISSIONER,
HOWEVER, SAYS THAT HE'S
CONFIDENT THAT HIS SPORT CAN
STILL COMPLETE THE SEASON
DESPITE THE SETBACKS BROUGHT ON
BY THE VIRUS.
>>> SOCIAL JUSTICE IS ALSO
DOMINATED THE CONVERSATION IN
PRO SPORTS.
ALTHOUGH THE NHL HAS
MOVED TO TAKE ACTION, IT'S ALSO
RECEIVED A LOT OF CRITICISM FOR
NOT DOING ENOUGH.
LAST NIGHT THE MESSAGE WAS
CLEAR.
>> HOCKEY IS A GREAT GAME, BUT
IT COULD BE A WHOLE LOT GREATER
AND IT STARTS WITH ALL OF US.
>> Ian: WHAT IS WIDELY DESCRIBED
AS A POWERFUL
MESSAGE CONDEMNING RACISM FOR
MATT DUMBA WHO PLAYS FOR
MINNESOTA.
HE DELIVERED IT MOMENTS BEFORE
HE BECAME THE FIRST NHL PLAYER
TO KNEEL BEFORE A NATIONAL
ANTHEM.
SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE SEEN IN
OTHER MEN'S AND WOMEN'S
PROFESSIONAL LEAGUES.
DUMBA IS JUST ONE OF THE HANDFUL 
OF VISIBLE MINORITIES CURRENTLY
IN THE LEAGUE.
IT IS SOMETHING THAT MANY SAY
THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE IF THE NHL
WANTS TO STAMP OUT RACISM IN THE
LEAGUE.
ALSO CRITICAL, FINDING A WAY TO
MAKE CANADA'S GAME MORE
WELCOMING AND ACCESSIBLE FOR
THOSE NEW TO CANADA.
BUT FOR NEWCOMERS THERE ISN'T
ALWAYS A CLEAR PATH TO LEARNING
TO PLAY THE GAME.
IN A STORY THAT WE FIRST BROUGHT
YOU LATE LAST YEAR, KATIE
NICHOLSON SHOWS US HOW SOME
PEOPLE ARE WORKING TO CHANGE
THAT.
>> Reporter: THE PATH TO
BECOMING A CANADIAN CAN BE A
LITTLE SLIPPERY.
BUT THESE KIDS ARE GETTING A
HELPING HAND.
AND A CRASH COURSE ON HOW TO
PLAY CANADA'S GAME.
[WHISTLE]
ALL IN THE NAME OF HELPING NEW
CANADIANS TO DEVELOP A BETTER
SENSE OF BELONGING.
>> THAT'S PERFECT.
>> Reporter: HE STARTED HOCKEY
FOR YOUTH FOUR YEARS AGO.
>> MY PARENTS CAME TO CANADA IN
1972 FROM UGANDA.
AND I WAS BORN IN VANCOUVER.
I WAS GIVEN MY FIRST SET OF
HOCKEY EQUIPMENT BY OUR
NEIGHBOUR WHO STILL LIVES ACROSS
THE STREET FROM MY MOM.
AND THEY SAID YOU SHOULD PUT
YOUR YOUNGEST SON INTO HOCKEY,
AND MY PARENTS OBLIGED AND IT
GAVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO FEEL
SOCIALLY INCLUDED.
>> WE'RE GOING TO DO SOME
TURNING TODAY --
>> Reporter: HE'S NOW
EXTENDING THAT OPPORTUNITY TO
HUNDREDS OF OTHER KIDS FROM 30
COUNTRIES WHO ALSO JUST WANT TO
BELONG.
>> WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS TO
MAKE SURE THAT YOU PUT MORE
EMPHASIS ON ROTATING YOUR ANKLE.
>> Reporter: SHE VOLUNTEERS
FOR HOCKEY FOR YOUTH.
>> I GREW UP KIND OF PART INDIAN
AND PART SCOTTISH.
THERE YOU GO AND YOU CROSS IT
OVER LIKE THAT.
>> Reporter: BUT IT IS HOCKEY
THAT HAS PLAYED A KEY PART IN
SERAN'S CANADIAN IDENTITY.
>> DEFINITELY, I THINK OF WINTER
DAYS AND WE'D GO ON THE POND IN
THE BACKYARD AND YOU'RE KIND OF
ALWAYS OUTSIDE IN THE SNOW AND
SKATING.
I THINK THAT HOCKEY IS JUST
SOMETHING THAT I SEE MYSELF AS
WHEN I SAY THAT I'M A HOCKEY
PLAYER.
>> Reporter: SERAN AND THE
REST OF THE RYERSON RAM'S HOCKEY
TEAM PROVIDE A STEADY HAND TO
GUIDE THE KIDS.
>> HOCKEY BELONGS TO EVERYONE
AND IT'S NOT JUST PEOPLE WHO
KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE SPORT, BUT
PEOPLE WHO WANT TO WATCH THE
SPORT, MAYBE GET INVOLVED IN THE
SPORT.
IT EXTENDS FURTHER THAN JUST
PLAYING THE GAME.
AND IT IS GROWING TO LOVE THE
GAME.
>> YOU'RE READY.
>> Reporter: IT APPEARS TO BE
WORKING.
HE IS FROM INDIA WHERE FIELD
HOCKEY IS BIG.
ICE HOCKEY -- NOT SO MUCH.
>> SKATING ON THE ICE IS GOOD.
>> Reporter: BUT HE'S
LEARNING.
>> IN THE FUTURE ALSO A CHANCE
TO PLAY.
>> YOU WANT THEM TIGHTER, JUST
LET ME KNOW.
>> Reporter: THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT HE WANTS TO HEAR.
>> IT'S PRETTY EMOTIONAL IN A
POSITIVE WAY.
I THINK ABOUT THE KIDS WHO, YOU
KNOW, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT
THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH, BUT
EVERY TIME THAT THEY'RE OUT ON
THE ICE YOU GET TO SEE THOSE
SMILES.
WHEN THEY FALL FOR THE FIRST
TIME IT'S AMAZING TO SEE THEM
GET BACK UP.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE TALK ABOUT
ALL THE TIME, IS THAT WHEN YOU
FALL YOU GET BACK UP AND YOU TRY
AGAIN.
>> GOOD JOB.
>> Reporter: AND FOR ASHAM,
THIS PROGRAMME IS DEEPLY
PERSONAL.
>> I ALWAYS TELL MY MOM AND MY
DAD THAT IT IS KIND OF A FULL
CIRCLE
EXPERIENCE IN TERMS OF, THEY PUT
ME IN HOCKEY AND NOW I'M USING
THE GAME TO GIVE BACK.
>> Reporter: AS THE PROGRAMME
EXPANDS INTO ITS THIRD CITY IT'S
A GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING, THE
GIFT OF HOCKEY, AND BELONGING.
>> ALL THE WAY, FOLLOW ME,
FOLLOW ME.
>> Reporter: KATIE NICHOLSON,
CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Ian: YOU SHOULD SEE ME SKATE.
IT IS NOT PRETTY.
>>> STILL AHEAD, THE
CELEBRATIONS MAY LOOK DIFFERENT
THIS YEAR BUT THE MESSAGE
REMAINS THE SAME.
>> IT'S ABOUT EMANCIPATION AND
IT'S ABOUT FREEDOM AND THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE FIGHTING FOR TODAY
IRONICALLY ENOUGH.
>> Reporter: HOW TORONTO'S
CARIBBEAN CARNIVAL IS COMING
TOGETHER DURING THE PANDEMIC.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
[indiscernible]
(*)
>> Ian: FOR MORE THAN HALF A
CENTURY, TORONTO'S AUGUST-LONG
WEEKEND WAS A KALEIDOSCOPE OF
COSTUMES AND CULTURE.
BUT THIS YEAR THE PANDEMIC HAS
DISRUPTED THE CITY'S CARIBBEAN
CARNIVAL THAT.
MEANT NO MULTI-DAY FEST 1R58
WITH PARTIES, CONTESTS AND A
GRAND PARADE.
WHILE THE SPECTACLE MAY BE GONE,
THERE'S NO SNUFFING OUT THE
SPIRIT OF CELEBRATION.
AS TASHAUNA REID EXPLAINS,
PEOPLE JUST FOUND THE WAY TO
GIVE THE FESTIVITIES A NEW FORM.
(*)
>> Reporter: THE DEEP RICH
SOUNDS OF THE BASS.
IT'S THE INSTRUMENT OF
CHOICE FOR BAND LEADER WENDY
JONES FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS.
(*)
>> WHEN I'M BEHIND MY BASS I'M
IN A DIFFERENT WORLD.
I'M IN A DIFFERENT WORLD,
BECAUSE I'M ENJOYING THE MUSIC.
THE MUSIC'S GOT ME.
(*)
THIS IS THE FIRST --
>> Reporter: STEEL PAN
ORCHESTRA HAS BEEN AN INTEGRAL
PART OF HER LIFE.
HER STEEL BAND SHOULD BE BUSY
PERFORMING AT TORONTO'S
CARIBBEAN CARNIVAL THIS WEEKEND.
BUT LIKE MANY OTHER MAJOR
EVENTS, COVID-19 HAS BEEN A
DISRUPTER.
>> THE BAND IS NOT JUST HERE TO
PLAY, IT IS A FAMILY.
AND BECAUSE WE'RE A FAMILY, IT
BRINGS US ALL TOGETHER.
WE BRING LOVE, WE BRING
FRIENDSHIP, WE BRING FOOD, WE
BRING CULTURE.
[Cheers and Applause]
>> Reporter: IN APRIL, THE
COVID-19 PANDEMIC FORCED
ORGANIZERS TO CANCEL TORONTO'S
CARIBBEAN CARNIVAL.
THE MULTI-DAY FESTIVAL ATTRACTS
MORE THAN ONE MILLION PEOPLE TO
THE CITY AND BRINGS IN
$400 MILLION TO CANADA'S G.D.P.
A HUGE ACHIEVEMENT SINCE ITS
EARLY DAYS.
(*)
IN 1967, MASQUERADERS AND STEEL
PAN MUSICIANS DANCED AND PLAYED
THEIR WAY THROUGH TORONTO'S CITY
CENTRE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
(*)
THEN IT WAS CALLED CARABANA, AND
THE IDEA OF A GROUP OF CARIBBEAN
COMMUNITY LEADERS WHO HAD IT TO
HONOUR THE EMANCIPATION DAY OF
PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT.
>> PART OF OUR HERITAGE IS THAT
UNDERSTANDING THAT WE CAME FROM
A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN
ENSLAVED AND WE HAVE TO CONTINUE
IN THEIR MEMORY.
>> Reporter: DENISE
HERRERRA-JACKSON IS THE HEAD OF
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS FOR THE
FESTIVAL.
PART OF HER JOB IS TO KEEP
THE CELEBRATIONS ON COURSE, BUT
WITH
NO GRAND PARADE, NO KING AND
QUEEN COMPETITION, LIVE CONCERTS
OR PARTIES, IT'S A SEEMINGLY
IMPOSSIBLE TASK.
>> HOW DO YOU VISUALIZE
SOMETHING AS LOUD AND COLOURFUL
AND AT THE SAME TIME NOISY, BUT
IT'S FULL OF LIFE.
HOW DO YOU MOVE FROM THAT?
(*)
>> Reporter: FESTIVAL
ORGANIZERS OPTED TO SHIFT
ONLINE.
LEADING UP TO THE BIG WEEKEND,
THERE WERE WORKOUT CLASSES.
>> CLASSIC CARIBBEAN RECIPE --
>> Reporter: AND LIVE COOKING
DEMOS WHILE HIGHLIGHTING LOCAL
BUSINESSES AND ARTISTS, ALL
CULMINATING WITH A VIRTUAL
CARNIVAL ROAD.
BUT FOR THIS HUSBAND/WIFE TEAM,
CANDICE AND DWAYNE DIXON,
THE VIRTUAL ROAD CAN'T REPLACE
WHAT HAS BEEN LOST.
THEY'VE BEEN PLANNING,
ORGANIZING AND DESIGNING FOR THE
LAST TWO YEARS.
EVEN TESTING OUT SAMPLES OF
THEIR COSTUME LINE SHUGA-CANE AT
LAST SUMMER'S PARADE.
>> SO THAT'S REALLY WHAT THIS
THEME WAS ABOUT, DIVING IN AND
PAYING
HOMAGE TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF OUR
CULTURE.
>> Reporter: CARNIVAL 2020 WAS
GOING TO BE THEIR OFFICIAL
DEBUT.
>> THE COMMUNITY IS LOST RIGHT
NOW AND I'M LOST AS A DESIGNER,
I'M LOST AS A PRODUCER.
>> Reporter: THIS WEEKEND
THEIR HEADQUARTERS WOULD HAVE
A FLURRY OF VOLUNTEERS AND
MASQUERADERS.
INSTEAD, IT IS EMPTY.
>> I KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF
PEOPLE IN THIS INDUSTRY, WHETHER
THEY'RE D.J.s OR PARTY
PROMOTERS OR DESIGNERS, AND THE
STEEL PAN PLAYERS, WE'RE ALL
KIND OF REALLY FEELING IT RIGHT
NOW.
>> Reporter: THERE'S ALSO THE
RECENT PROTEST MOVEMENTS FOR
BLACK LIVES MATTER AND THE
CONVERSATION AROUND SYSTEMIC
RACISM THAT HAS BEEN FRONT AND
CENTRE.
THE DIXONS SAY THAT THIS YEAR IS
A STRONG REMINDER OF WHY THEY
CELEBRATE.
>> THE REASON WHY WE PLAY TO
BEGIN WITH, IT'S ABOUT
CELEBRATION, IT'S ABOUT
LIBERATION, IT'S ABOUT
EMANCIPATION AND IT'S ABOUT
FREEDOM.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE FIGHTING FOR
TODAY, IRONICALLY ENOUGH.
(*)
>> Reporter: AND MANY WOULD BE
FESTIVAL-GOERS STILL FOUND WAYS
TO HONOUR THE TRADITION OF
CARNIVAL THIS WEEKEND...
(*)
LIKE DIE-HARD MASQUERADER CAROLE
DEPESA.
>> IF I DIDN'T DO THIS I DON'T
KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE
TODAY.
THIS IS BETTER THAN NOTHING, SO
I WAS HAPPY TO DO THIS WITH SOME
OF MY FRIENDS.
>> Reporter: FOR THE SMALL
GROUP OF CLOSE FRIENDS, THEY
JOINED 100,000 PEOPLE WHO LOGGED
ON TO THIS YEAR'S VIRTUAL ROAD.
(*)
[Cheers and Applause]
(*)
>> Reporter: D.J.s FROM
AROUND THE WORLD BROUGHT THE
MUSIC.
(*)
AND CARNIVAL MASQUERADERS
BROUGHT THE DANCE MOVES.
(*)
WHILE CELEBRATIONS LOOK A LOT
DIFFERENT IN 2020, THE VIBES AND
THE PRIDE REMAIN THE SAME.
>> I'VE BEEN DOING THIS PRETTY
MUCH EVERY YEAR FOR MY ENTIRE
LIFE AS FAR AS I
REMEMBER.
AND ONE YEAR WAS NOT GOING TO
PASS WHERE I DIDN'T CELEBRATE.
>> IT'S GREAT THAT WE CAN ALL
COME TOGETHER AND, YOU KNOW AND
STILL CELEBRATE IN THE MIDST OF
EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON.
>> Reporter: FOR DIPESA THIS
YEAR IS ALL ABOUT APPRECIATION.
>> I FEEL THAT I'M GOING TO
LIFTOFF.
I THINK IT MAKES PEOPLE
MORE HUMBLE AND TO APPRECIATE
WHAT YOU HAVE HAD BEFORE.
>> Reporter: IN THE HOPES THAT
NEXT YEAR THE TORONTO CARNIVAL
WILL RETURN IN ITS FULL
SPLENDOUR.
TASHAUNA REID, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Ian: AFTER THE BREAK A
DIFFERENT KIND OF COVID HOW-TO
GUIDE WITH YOUR KIDS IN MIND.
>> * IT GOES LEFT EAR 
* RIGHT EAR 
* STRAIGHTEN IT OUT 
* IF YOU HAVE YOUR MASK ON GIVE
ME A SHOUT *
>> Ian: HOW ONE NOVA SCOTIA
FAMILY IS TEACHING OTHERS TO
MASK U
(*)
>> Ian: HOW DO YOU KEEP KIDS
ENTERTAINED DURING A PANDEMIC?
WELL, THERE'S ONE DAD FROM NOVA
SCOTIA WHO HAS BEEN MAKING MUSIC
VIDEOS WITH HIS DAUGHTERS.
THEIR LATEST, AS YOU JUST SAW,
IS ABOUT WEARING MASKS.
IVY IS 3 AND ISLA IS 6 AND THEY
LOVE TO PERFORM AND PEOPLE LOVE
THEIR VIDEOS AND THAT IS
TONIGHT'S "MOMENT."
(*)
>> WE JUST WANTED TO CREATE A
FUN, GOOFY INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO
FOR CHILDREN AND FOR ADULTS
ALIKE WHO MAY NOT HAVE A LOT OF
EXPERIENCE YET TRYING ON AND
WEARING FACE MASKS.
* LEFT EAR 
* RIGHT EAR 
* STRAIGHTEN IT OUT 
* IF YOU'VE GOT YOUR MASK ON 
* GIVE ME A SHOUT 
* OR MAYBE RIGHT EAR 
* LEFT EAR 
* HOWEVER YOU DO IT 
* GET A GROWN-UP TO HELP 
* THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' TO IT 
>> THERE'S ACTUALLY BEEN A LOT
OF PARENTS WHO REACHED OUT ON
SOCIAL MEDIA TO LET ME KNOW THAT
THEIR YOUNGER CHILDREN WHO WERE
INITIALLY A LITTLE APPREHENSIVE
ABOUT TRYING ON OR WEARING FACE
MASKS HAVE ACTUALLY GIVEN IT A
SHOT AFTER SEEING THE VIDEO.
SO THANKS TO THESE TWO, THERE'S
A LOT MORE KIDS WEARING THEIR
FACE MASKS OR AT LEAST TRYING
THEM OUT HERE IN NOVA SCOTIA.
>> I LIKE DANCING.
>> WHAT ABOUT YOU, WHAT WAS YOUR
FAVOURITE PART?
DANCING?
YOU LIKE SINGING TOO?
YOU GUYS ARE VERY GOOD SINGERS.
>> Ian: AND THE TWO GIRLS WOULD
LIKE TO DO A SHOUTOUT TO
DR. ROBERT STRANG, THE MEDICAL
HEALTH OFFICER IN NOVA SCOTIA.
WE HEAR A LOT ABOUT BONNIE HENRY
WHO HAS THAT JOB HERE IN B.C.,
AS WE SHOULD, SHE'S FANTASTIC.
BUT SO TOO ARE HER MANY
COLLEAGUES ACROSS THE COUNTRY,
INCLUDING DR. STRANG WHO TOLD
OUR COLLEAGUES IN HALIFAX THAT
HE APPROVES OF THE GIRLS'
MESSAGE.
>>> THAT IS "THE NATIONAL" FOR
AUGUST 2.
GOOD NIGHT.
