HEADING OUT TO MEET A FRIEND FOR
COFFEE TWO WEEKS AGO.
HE JUST LEFT HIS BUILDING HAD HE
WAS STOPPED BY TWO POLICE
OFFICERS.
THEY ASKED IF HIS NAME ASS ABDUL
AND WANTED TO SEE HIS I.D.
>> WHEN I SAID NO, I'M NOT
ABDUL, THEY SAID -- ONE OF THEM
SAID, COME ON, YOU LOOK EXACTLY
LIKE HIM FORTUNATE HE CONTACTED
THE NEW WESTMINSTER POLICE
DEPARTMENT TO EXPRESS HIS
CONCERNS WITH BEING STOPPED.
POLICE SAY THEY WERE LOOKING FOR
A SUSPECT IN THIS NEIGHBOURHOOD
ACCUSED OF SERIOUS OFFENCES
INCLUDING UTTERING DEATH THREATS
AND CRIMINAL HARASSMENT.
RADESHWAR SAYS A STAFF SERGEANT
TOLD HIM THEY HAD A DESCRIPTION
OF THE SUSPECT BUT NO PHOTO.

TALL, MEDIUM COMPLEXION, BLACK
HAIR.
>> Reporter: A VAGUE
DESCRIPTION HE SAYS CASTS MUCH
OF THE COMMUNITY UNDER
SUSPICION.
>> IN NEW WESTMINSTER WHERE I
LIVE, YOU HAVE A VERY DIVERSE
POPULATION.
IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE RELYING
ON A RACIAL PROFILE, THEY'RE
GOING TO CONSTANTLY GET THE
WRONG PERSON.
GETTING THE WRONG PERSON IS BAD
BECAUSE IT VIOLATES PEOPLE'S
RIGHTS.
>> RADESHWAR REPORTED HIS
CONCERNS TO THE OFFICE OF THE
POLICE MISSION.
THE NEW WESTMINSTER POLICE
DEPARTMENT DENIES THIS IS RACIAL
PROFILING AND SAYS OFFICERS HAD
SEEN A PHOTO OF THE SUSPECT.
>> WE WEREN'T JUST ARBITRARILY
STREET CHECKING SOMEBODY, WE
WEREN'T DEMANDING IDENTITY FROM
SOMEBODY.
THIS WAS AS PART OF AN
INVESTIGATION FOR A FAIRLY
SERIOUS OFFENCE.
>> Reporter: POLICE SAY THE
SUSPECT WAS ARRESTED EARLIER
THIS MONTH.
THE BRITISH COLUMBIA CIVIL
LIBERTIES ASSOCIATION SAYS
ANYONE STOPPED BY POLICE SHOULD
ASK WHETHER THEY'RE BEING
DETAINED OR ARRESTED.
>> IF YOU'RE NOT UNDER DETENTION
AND YOU'RE NOT BEING ARRESTED
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY FREE TO WALK
AWAY.
YOU DOIN' HAVE TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS.
>> Reporter: IT'S UP TO THE
INDIVIDUAL TO KNOW THEIR RIGHTS.
>> THAT PLACES A
DISPROPORTIONATE BURDEN ON THOSE
WHO ARE MARGINALIZED SO
PARTICULARLY RACIALIZED
COMMUNITIES, LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES, FOR WHOM THE
ABILITY TO WALK AWAY IS NOT
REALISTIC, WHO ARE ALREADY OVER
POLICED AND CRIMINALIZED.
>> Reporter: RADEHWAR WORRIES
THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN
DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T
KNOW THEY COULD WALK AWAY.
>> Lien: ANOTHER BLOW TO THE
PROVINCE'S PANDEMIC RESPONSE
TONIGHT AS B.C.'S CURVE
CONTINUES ITS SHARP BENDS
UPWARDS.
HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE REPORTING
84 NEW CASES AND A NEW OUTBREAK
AT NEW WESTMINSTER'S QUEEN'S
PARK CARE CENTRE.
THIS MARKS THREE CONSECUTIVE
DAYS WITH MORE THAN 70 NEW CASES
AND IS THE FOURTH HIGHEST DAILY
TALLY ON RECORD.
ACTIVE CASES ARE NOW AT 629.
3,533 PEOPLE HAVE RECOVEREDMENT
THERE WERE NO NEW DEATHS.
12 PEOPLE ARE IN HOSPITAL, FOUR
OF WHOM ARE IN INTENSIVE CARE.
>> WITH COVID-19 CASES RISING,
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE GETTING
TESTED EVERY DAY, OR AT LEAST
THEY'RE TRYING TO.
>> Lien: THERE ARE LONG
LINEUPS AT SEVERAL SITES ON THE
LOWER MAINLAND AND AS JON
HERNANDEZ REPORTS, SOME PEOPLE
ARE WAITING HOURS FOR A SWAB BUT
THEY'RE STILL GETTING TURNED
AWAY.
>> Reporter: THE RUSH TO GET
INTO THIS BURNABY COVID-19
TESTING SITE STARTS WELL BEFORE
IT OPENS.
>> WE'VE HAD TO GO AROUND A
WHOLE BUNCH OF TIMES JUST TO
MAKE SURE THEY WEREN'T OPENING,
AND THEN LIKE TO SEE THIS
LINEUP, LIKE HOW CRAZY IS THIS?
>> SO MUCH TRAFFIC, TOO.
>> Reporter: THE GAUGE PARK
WAGE FOR PEOPLE AT 12 P.M.
SHARP, TRAFFIC SNAKING ITS WAY
DOWN THE BUSY BOUNDARY ROAD.
>> IT'S CONCERNING.
I THOUGHT IT OPENS AT 12 NOON
AND I THOUGHT I'M PRETTY GOOD.
>> BOUNDARY ROAD, WEIRD TO HAVE
IT ON BOUNDARY, LIKE SO BUSY
HERE.
>> AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN TO THE
CAR IN FRONT OF YOU, PLEASE.
>> Reporter: SOME PEOPLE IN
THIS LINE TOLD TO COME HERE
AFTER CROWDING AT OTHER TESTING
SITES.
>> THEY'RE IN LINE FOR THE OTHER
ONES.
>> WHAT ARE THEY LIKE?
THEY'RE WALKING THREE HOURS IN
SURREY.
>> Reporter: MOST PEOPLE ARE
ASKED TO COME BACK LATER AND
THERE'S NO GUARANTEES FOR THOSE
WHO GET IN.
HEALTH WORKERS QUICKLY REALIZE
THEY'RE OVERCAPACITY AND START
SENDING PATIENTS BACK OUT.
>> I HAVE TO DRIVE TO ALL NIECE
OTHER PLACES TO SEE IF I CAN GET
TESTED.
>> IS THAT TRAITING?
>> IT'S CRAZY.
I'VE NOT BEEN WELL AND THAT'S
WHY I CAME OUT.
>> I'VE BEEN HERE THREE DAYS IN
A ROW, BUT THEY TOLD ME TO COME
BACK TODAY AT NOON, SO I DID,
BUT I STILL WASN'T ABLE TO GET
TESTED.
>> Reporter: TESTS IN B.C.
HAVE BEEN CLIMBING STEADILY
SINCE JUNE.
THOUSANDS ARE ADMINISTERED EACH
DAY.
SOME EXPERTS SAY THIS LINEUP
ISN'T NECESSARILY A SIGN THAT
ALL FACILITIES ARE OVERWHELMED.
>> OBVIOUSLY HAVING ACCESS TO
TESTING IS IMPORTANT.
I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S THE
CONSISTENT TRENDS ACROSS THE
PROVINCE IN TERMS OF
ACCESSIBILITY TO TESTING.
THERE MAY BE ANECDOTES OF THAT.
>> Reporter: BUT JUST A FEW
KILOMETRES AWAY IN VANCOUVER, A
SIMILAR STORY.
>> HONESTLY IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE
IN LINE TO GO TO SOME FESTIVAL.
>> Reporter: HEALTH OFFICIALS
SAY THE LINEUPS ARE EXPECTED,
GIVEN RECENT OUTBREAKS IN THE
LOWER MAINLAND.
>> WE HAVE CAPACITY FOR TESTING.
WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IN VANCOUVER
RIGHT NOW IS REFLECTED IN THE
NUMBERS THAT WE'VE SEEN, IN THE
LAST LITTLE WHILE, WHERE THERE'S
BEEN EXPOSURE EVENTS WHERE
LARGER NUMBERS OF PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN EXPOSED.
>> Reporter: THERE ARE PLANS
TOO RAMP UP TESTING AHEAD OF A
SECOND WAVE.
IN THE MEANTIME, THOSE
CONSIDERING A TEST HAVE A FEW
OPTIONS.
STAY HOME, CALL AHEAD, OR
PREPARE TO WAIT.

EXTENDING THE CANADA-U.S. LANDS
BORDER CLOSURE FOR ANOTHER 30
DAYS UNTIL SEPTEMBER 21.
CLOSURE TO NONESSENTIAL TRAVEL

GOVERNMENT IS ALSO MOVING TO
CURB AMERICANS WHO SAY THEY'RE
ON THEIR WAY TO ALASKA.
U.S. TRAVELLERS GOING TO THE
NORTHERN STATE HAVE BEEN LIMITED
TO FIVE CROSSINGS IN WESTERN
CANADA, AND MUST COMMIT TO
TAKING A DIRECT ROUTE.
>> Lien: WILL THEY BENDS THE
RULES THIS WEEKEND?
THAT'S WHAT HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY
THEY'LL BE WATCHING FOR AT
BANQUET LALLS AND PRIVATE
PARTIES.
>> AS JOEL BALLARD REPORTS, MANY
HALLS SAY THEY'RE ALREADY
FOLLOWING THE RULES EVEN IF IT
MEANS FINANCIAL SACRIFICES
(MUSIC)
>> Reporter: EVENTS AT THE
ITALIAN CULTURAL CENTRE USUALLY
LOOK LIKE THIS.
>> Reporter: BUT NOW, IN THE
NEW NORMAL, THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
>> WE LIMIT THE SEATING AND WE
FOLLOW ALL THE PROVINCIAL
REGULATIONS THAT ARE IN PLACE
AND LIMIT THE SEATS HERE, ARE
ONLY 48, BECAUSE WE USUALLY HAVE
TWO STAFF HERE.
WE'RE VERY MUCH ABIDING BY THE
50.
>> GONE ARE THE BUFF WAY FAYES.
DANCE FLOOR, THE MINGLING AND
ABOVE ALL, THE HUGS.
>> IT'S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR
ITALIANS BECAUSE YES, WE ARE A
TACTILE GROUP, WE HUG, WE KISS.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DO NOT
ALLOW.
>> Reporter: DIFFICULT BUT
NECESSARY SACRIFICES.
BUT IT SEEMS NOT EVERYONE IS
PLAYING BY THE RULES, LEADING TO
A WARNING FROM B.C.'S MINISTER
OF  HEALTH.
>> IF YOU HAVE BANQUET HALLS
WHERE A PRIVATE PARTY TAKES
PLACE YOU WILL BE SEEING
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OFFICERS
AND PEOPLE IN PUBLIC HEALTH AND
ILLUSTRATES OUR EXPECTATION THAN
THAT THE LIMITS ON THE NUMBER OF
PEOPLE AT PARTIES WILL BE IN
PLACE.
>> Reporter: WITHOUT MINCING
WORDS, DIX WARNED THAT THOSE WHO
FAIL TO HEED THE ADVICE WILL
FACE CONSEQUENCES.
THE PUNJAB BANQUET HALL IS USED
TO HOSTING GROUPS OF MORE THAN
800 PEOPLE IN THEIR BALLROOM.
BUT NOW ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK A
PARTY OF LESS THAN 50 PEOPLE
WILL SPARSELY OCCUPY THIS ROOM.
>> THEY DON'T WANT TO BOOK THE
PARTY, AND IT'S HARD TOO SURVIVE
FOR US, AND THEN WE HAVE A LOT
OF OVERHEAD EXPENSES.
>> Reporter: JUST LIKE MACHEL
LI, THINGS HAVE HAD TO CHANGE.
THAT MEANS HAND WASHING STATION,
FACE MASKS FOR SERVERS AND A MAX
OF 50 PEOPLE.
BUT THAT'S ONE RULE GILL WISHES
WOULD CHANGE.
INSTEAD OF A CAP AT 50 HE SAYS
THE MAXIMUM NUMBER SHOULD BE
DECIDED CASE-BY-CASE BASED ON
THE AMOUNT OF SPACE IN A HALL.
>> THEY SHOULD ALLOW MORE
PERSONS DEPEND THE AREA WE CAN
KEEP THE SIX FEET DISTANCE, AND
THE TABLES, WE HAVE 839 SEATED
SO WE CAN MORE PEOPLE ALLOWED,
AND THEN GIVE US THE GUIDELINES
SO WE CAN FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES.
>> Reporter: AS FOR THOSE WHO
MIGHT BE HOSTING GATHERING
LARGER THAN WHAT'S ALLOWED, BOTH
MEN AGREE IT HURTS THE ENTIRE
INDUSTRY.
>> I THINK IT'S EXTREMELY
SELFISH ON THEIR PART.
>> Reporter: ADAPTING THE WAY
THEY OPERATE AS THEY STRIVE TO
SURVIVE S JOEL BALLARD, CBC

MADE IN VANCOUVER'S NINTH
HOMICIDE OF THE YEAR.
23-YEAR-OLD MAXIMUS ROWLAND HAZE
HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH
MANSLAUGHTER IN THE DEATH OF
THOMAS DONAGHEY.
AT THE END OF LAST MONTH POLICE
SAY A STABBING TOOK PLACE
OUTSIDE THE OVERDOSE PREVENTION
SITE AT ST. PAUL'S HOSPITAL.
THE VICTIM WAS A VOLUNTEER KNOWN
FOR YEARS OF SERVICE.
POLICE SAY HE WAS WORKING AT THE
SITE THAT NIGHT WHEN HE CAME
OUTSIDE AND GOT INVOLVED IN A
FIST FIGHT THAT LED TO THE
STABBING.
DONAGHEY LATER DIED IN HOSPITAL.
HAYES WAS IDENTIFIED AS A
SUSPECT AND ARRESTED YESTERDAY.
HE REMAINS IN CUSTODY.
>> Mike: THE PROVINCE IS
BRINGING IN NEW MANDATORY
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
PETROLEUM INDUSTRY TO MAKE GAS
PRICING MORE TRANSPARENT.
>> OUR GOAL WITH THIS
LEGISLATION WAS TO BRING
TRANSPARENCY, CLARITY, TO B.C.
DRIVERS AND ACCEPTED A MESSAGE
TO OIL AND GAS, THE DAYS OF
SETTING PRICES IN SECRECY ARE
OVER.
>> WHOLESALE MARKETERS OF
GASOLINE AND DIESEL PRODUCT WILL
BE REQUIRED TO REPORT COST AND
PRICING DATA TO THE PROVINCIAL
GOVERNMENT.
THE GOVERNMENT LAUNCHED AN
INVESTIGATION INTO GAS PRICES
LAST PLAY TO TRY TO CONFIRM
WHETHER COMPANIES WERE GOUGING
AT THE GAS BUMP.
RALSTON SAYS THEY FOUND A 13%
DEVELOPSY THE INDUSTRY COULDN'T
EXPLAIN THAT WAS COSTING
CONSUMERS AN EXTRA $480 MILLION
EVERY YEAR.
>> AMY BELL JOINS US WITH A LOOK
AT THE WEATHER.
AMY, YOU HAVE TIMED YOUR TIME
WITH US PERFECTLY, BECAUSE THIS
IS ANOTHER SUMMER STUNNER.
>> OR MAYBE WHEN I'M AROUND IT'S
JUST NICER WEATHER.
>> THAT'S POSSIBLE.
NOBODY TELL JOHANNA.
>> I THINK JOHANNA KNOWS WHEN TO
TAKE OFF.
IT IS GOING TO BE A WARM ONE SO
BE PREPARED FOR THAT, A BIG
SWITCH FROM WHAT WE SAW EARLIER
IN THE WEEK, WE'RE GOING TO GET
UP INTO THE LOW 30S.
CURRENTLY WE'RE AT ABOUT THE
MID-20S IN PITT MEADOWS, 24 IN
ABBOTSFORD, 22 IN VANCOUVER, SO
WE'LL SEE THINGS COOLING OFF TO
ABOUT 15, 16º OVERNIGHT.
WHAT WE SAW TODAY, SORRY,
GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF, WHAT WE
SAW TODAY THOUGH WAS A LOT OF
UN-- INSTABILITY AROUND PRINCE
GEORGE WITH HEAVY SHOWERS AND WE
STILL HAVE THE RAINFALL WARNINGS
UP FOR THE NORTH COAST, FOR THE
CENTRAL SECTIONS, AND INLAND
INCLUDING KITIMAT SO THEY'LL SEE
ANYWHERE FROM 75 TO 100
MILLIMETRES BY TOMORROW
AFTERNOON SO FLADDING WILL BE
SOMETHING TO BE AWARE OF.
WE SAW CLOUD COVER DRIFTING BY
AND THAT WILL BE OUT OF THE WAY
FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE
PROVINCE TOMORROW, IT'S GOING TO
BE INCREDIBLY CLEAR FOR THE
WEEKEND.
AT THE WATER TOMORROW, 29
INLAND, 20 AT THE WATER ON
SUNDAY AND 35 INLAND, IF YOU CAN
BELIEVE THAT AND SLIGHTLY COOLER
ON MONDAY.
I'LL HAVE THE FULL PROVINCIAL

MINUTES.

AMY.
>>> TEENS IN CHILE CHILLIWACK,
MANY OF THEM INDIGENOUS,

>> IT'S ALL PART OF A PROGRAM TO
GET YOUTH OUT IN NATURE AND CLIP
AWAY AT SOME OF THE SOCIAL
ISOLATION FROM THE PANDEMIC.
>> CUTTING A BIKE TRAIL THROUGH
THE THICK CHILLIWACK BUSH IS
HARD WORK BUT FOR THIS FIVE
PERSON BUILD CREW IT'S JUST
ANOTHER DAY ON THE JOB.
>> I LOVE IT.
IT HELPS BEING OUTSIDE MORE AND
EXERCISING.
THIS HAS GOT ME INTO A NORMAL
EVERY DAY WORKOUT ROUTINE, WHICH
IS NICE.
>> Reporter: THE CREW IS PART
OF A SUMMER PROGRAM RUN BY
UNITED WAY.
THE PLANNING STARTED BEFORE THE
PANDEMIC STRUCK AND IT'S PROVING
TO BE KEY IN HELPING THE CREW'S
MENTAL HEALTH.
>> WHAT HAPPENED WITH COVID IS
WHAT WE WERE SEEING BEFORE, WITH
LOTS OF LONELINESS AND
ISOLATION.
WE'VE SEEN THAT INTENSIFY.
>> IT'S GOOD TO GET A LOT OF
CONNECTIONS THROUGH HERE, AND
THE DIFFERENT LANDS THAT WE GO
TO WE ALSO LEARN A BIT OF
INDIGENOUS HISTORY, AS WELL AS
LEARNING ABOUT PLANTS, WHAT ARE
GOOD TO EAT, DIFFERENT MEDICINE.
>> IT'S A FULL-TIME POSITION
WHICH IS NICE.
WORKING EVERY DAY, IT'S A GOOD
WORKOUT AND IT HELPS ME GET IN
TOUCH WITH NATURE AND THE
OUTDOORS IN GENERAL.
>> ONCE THE PAID BUILD CREW WAS
UP TO SPEED THEY WERE ABLE TO
MENTOR OTHER TEENS FROM THE
STO:LO NATION.
>> THESE ARE KIDS WHO -- MANY OF
THEM HAVE NEVER ABOUT OUT ON THE
TRAILS MOP BIKING SO THEY'RE
LEARNING HOW TO BOTH BUILD
MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS AND ALSO
HOW TO RIDE BACK.
>> PICKING UP A LOT OF GRASS AND
STUFF ON THE GROUND AND CUT WOOD

>> Reporter: THERE ARE SEVERAL
BUILD DAYS FOR SEPASS AND THE
TEENS WHO VOLUNTEER.
AFTER SOME TOUGH MANUAL LABOUR
THEY GET A CHANCE TO TEST OUT
THE TRAILS, SOMETHING THAT
LEAVES BIG SMILES ALL AROUND.

>> WE'RE HOPING THIS CONTINUES
FOR A LONG TIME.
>> I'M NOT SURE WHEN I'M GOING
TO STOP DOING THIS, BUT I'M
HAVING FUN, THOUGH.

FREE LIVE STREAM TONIGHT.
WELL, CONCERTS ARE USUALLY
SYNONYMOUS WITH SUMMER.
THIS YEAR, THOUGH, COVID-19 HAS
MORE OR LESS PUT AN END TO THAT.
>> Lien: BUT ONE CANADIAN
BANDS HAS FOUND A SOLUTION S
JULY TALK TURNED TO ANOTHER
SUMMERTIME TRADITION TO STAGE
SOME SHOWS THIS WEEK, THE
DRIVE-IN THEATRE.
>> IT'S THE FULL FESTIVAL VIBE
BUT FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR CAR
AND MOST DON'T MINT >> WE CAME
EARLY, WE WERE HERE ABOUT 4:30
SO WE COULD BE IN FRONT.
>> ECSTATIC.
I DIDN'T THINK I'D SEE ANY SHOWS
IN 2020 SO I'M EXCITED I GET TO
SEE MY FAVORITE BAND.
>> I'M LEAH.
>> AND I'M PETER.
>> WE'RE HERE AT JULY TALK TO
ANNOUNCE OUR TWO DRIVE IN SHOWS
WILL TAKE PLACE HERE, AT THE
START DUST --
>> WHEN COVID-19 HIT, JULY TALK
WAS JUST ABOUT TO ANNOUNCE THEIR
2020 CONCERTS.
INSTEAD OF CANCELLING THEM THEY
CAME UP WITH SOMETHING
DIFFERENT.
>> WE WERE REALLY EXCITED.
>> WE WERE DANCING IMMEDIATELY,
WHAT A GREAT IDEA!
AND OUR MUSIC VIDEOS AND JUST
CINEMA AND GENERAL ARE THINGS WE
TENDS TO CARE ABOUT AND ARE A
BIG FACET OF THE IDENTITY OF THE
BAND.
SO IT KIND OF JUST FELT LIKE A
PERFECT MATCH.
>> ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF THIS
EXPERIENCE WAS THAT WE ACTUALLY
MET AN ARCHIVIST WHO'S BEEN
CATALOGING OLD DRIVE-IN
COMMERCIALS FROM THE FIFTIES,
SIXTIES AND SEVENTIES THAT WILL
BE INTEGRATED INTO THE SHOW.
>> Reporter: A LOT WENT INTO
GETTING THIS CONCERT GOING.
THERE'S A STAGE, THREE SCREENS
AND ABOUT 6-HUNDRED CARS FILLED
WITH FANS.
ONE OF THE FEW DRIVE-IN CONCERTS
IN CANADA.
>> GOT A LOT OF BALLS IN THE
AIR.
WE'VE GOT EIGHT CAMERAS, A DRONE
CAMERA.
>> Reporter: SAFETY IS A HUGE
PRIORITY, AND THAT MEANS KEEPING
EVERYONE PHYSICALLY DISTANCED,
SO TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO STAY
IN THEIR CARS, THE ONLY WAY YOU
CAN HEAR THE CONCERT IS FROM
INSIDE YOUR CAR BY TUNING IN TO
A CERTAIN RADIO STATION.
IF YOU GO OUTSIDE TO BUY FOOD OR
GO TO THE BATHROOM YOU HAVE TO
MAKE SURE YOU PUT ON A MAVERICK.
THERE'S NO BOOZE FOR SALE AND
SECURITY IS THERE TO ENFORCE THE
RULES BUT THE ONUS IS REALLY ON
FANS TO STAY IN THEIR SOCIAL
BUBBLE.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE MOST PEOPLE
ENJOYED THE MUSIC FROM THE
SAFETY OF THEIR CARS.
NATALIE IN A NOW SKI, CBC NEWS,
SHARON, ONTARIO.
>> AND BEACH-GOERS IN CHINA'S
FAR NORTHEAST WERE TREATED TO
SOME MAGNIFICENT ATMOSPHERIC
ARTSRY, A LOW HORIZONTAL CLOUD
THAT TYPICALLY FORMS AT THE
LEADING HE HAVE OF A GUSTY FRONT
OF A THUNDERSTORM, IN ROLL CLOUD
FORMATION, THEY DO NOT CONNECT
TO THE GROUNDS AND THEY AREN'T
CONSIDERED DANGEROUS BUT THEY
FREQUENTLY ACCOMPANY SOME VERY
IMPRESSIVE THUNDERHEADS.
>> Mike: ALMOST DOESN'T LOOK
REAL.
>> JOE'S ON VACATION BUT I BET
SHE'S SEEN THAT AND STUDIED IT
CLOSELY.
>> SHE WOULD GET THE BIGGEST
KICK OUT OF IT.
>> Mike: ALL RIGHT, BACK IN
JUST A SECOND WITH HOW ONE
TORONTO STRIP CLUB HAS NOW BEEN
LINKED TO HUNDREDS OF POSSIBLE
COVID-19 EXPOSURES.
STAY WITH US.
GENTLEMAN I'M CBC JOURNALIST
WILSON DAHL AND I'M NONBINARY.
BUT WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT MEAN?
WE'LL ANSWER SOME OF THE GENDER
QUESTIONS YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO
ASK IN OUR NEW PODCAST "THEY AND
US".
LISTEN NOW.
>> WE GOT A SOBERING LOOK TODAY
AT HOW BAD THE PANDEMIC COULD
GET BY THE PAUL.
THE PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCY OF
CANADA RELEASED NEW MODELLING.
IT'S NOT A PREDICTION OF WHAT
WILL HAPPEN, BUT A WARNING OF
WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF WE'RE NOT
CAREFUL.
>> THE IDEA IS TO PLAN FOR
SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE SEVERAL
TIMES WORSE THAN OUR PREVIOUS
EXPERIENCE.
>> IT'S NOT THE MESSAGE
CANADIANS WANT TO HER BUT IT'S
COUNTRY CANADA'S TOP DOCTOR SAYS
THEY NEED TO LISTEN TO.
>> RIGHT NOW I THINK ON THE
WHOLE, WE ARE ON THAT SLOW BURN
KIND OF OTTAWA JECRY, BUT IT
DOESN'T -- TRAJECTORY BUT IT
DOESN'T TAKE MUCH FOR THINGS TO
ESCALATE.
>> HEALTH OFFICIALS TRYING TO
AVOID A NEW WAVE THIS FALL
THAT'S SEVERAL TIMES HIGHER THAN
THE FIRST, OVERWHELMING
HOSPITALS WITH SMALLER ECHOES TO
FOLLOW, THIS AFTER WEEKS OF
WARNINGS FROM PUBLIC HEALTH
OFFICIALS UNDER LINING MORE
CASES AMONG YOUNG ADULTS.
>> THERE ARE STILL SOME OF THE
POPULATION THAT ARE NOT
OBSERVING SOME OF THESE RULES OR
PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISED.
AND SO WE CAN ALWAYS DO BETTER.
>> Reporter: THE PROJECTED
PEAK LANDS IN THE MIDDLE OF BACK
TO SCHOOL, AND COINCIDES WITH
THE COLD AND FLU SEASON.
>> SO PLANNING FOR THAT,
POTENTIAL CONVERGENCE OF THE
VIRAL ACTIVITY IS SOMETHING THAT
WE'RE ACTIVELY DOING AS WELL.
>> HOW TO KEEP IT IN CHECK
WITHOUT ANOTHER LOCKDOWN?
QUICK TESTING AND ISOLATION,
QUICK CONTACT TRACING AND
QUARANTINES, WEARING A MASK, AND
KEEPING APART.
SO IS CANADA READY?
>> MANY MANY PARTS OF CANADA
DURING THE FIRST WAVE, THERE
CERTAINLY WERE ISSUES WITH
DIAGNOSTIC TESTING CAPACITY,
CONTACT TRACING.
THERE CERTAINLY WERE SOME ISSUES
WITH THOSE.
IT APPEARS THAT MUCH OF THAT HAS
BEEN IRONED OUT.
IT'S UNLIKELY THAT WE WILL SEE
ISSUES WITH THAT, BUT IT IS
CERTAINLY STILL POSSIBLE.
>> HOW SEVERE IT WILL BE DEPENDS
ON EVERYONE'S ACTIONS.
>> Mike: 550 PEOPLE WHO WERE
IN A TORONTO STRIP CLUB EARLIER
THIS MONTH WITH BEING WARNED
THEY MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO
COVID-19.
>> AS VICACOPIA EXPLAINS,
TRACING THE CONTACTS IS PROVING
DIFFICULT.
>> THE BRASS RAIL HAS BEEN IN
TROUBLE BEFORE.
IT DEFIED A CITY BAN ON LAP
DANCES 20 YEARS AGO, EVENTUALLY
GETTING IT OVERTURNED.
NOW IT'S IN TROUBLE AGAIN FOR
BREAKING INFECTION PREVENTION
RULES.
>> IT DOES REQUIRE MAINTAINING
PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND WHERE
PHYSICAL DISTANCING IS NOT
POSITIVE TO HAVE A BARRIER LIKE
PLEXIGLASS IN PLACE BUT THEY DID
NOT MEET ALL THOSE REQUIREMENTS.
>> Reporter: HEALTH OFFICIAL
WHERE IS ALERTED TO VIOLATIONS
AFTER AN EMPLOYEE TESTED
POSITIVE FOR COVID-19 WITHIN
DAYS OF THE CLUB REOPENING.
OFFICIALS WON'T SAY WHAT THE
WORKERS' JOB IS, ONLY THEY MAY
HAVE COME IN CONTACT WITH MORE
THAN 500 CUSTOMERS.
>> IT ALSO SHOWS YOU IN A CROWD
LIKE THAT HOW EASY IT COULD BE
TO SPREAD THE VIRUS AND GET US
RIGHT BACK TO WHERE WE WERE, AND
NONE OF US WANTS TO GO THERE.
>> Reporter: A COMPLICATING
FACTOR FOR CONTACT TRACING,
ALERTING CUSTOMERS WHO DIDN'T
ALL LEAVE DETAILED CONTACT
INFORMATION, IN VIOLATION OF
REOPENING RULES.
NOT A SURPRISE FOR AN INDUSTRY
THAT FACES STIGMA.
>> WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE
TO LIE ABOUT THEIR ENGAGEMENT IF
THE INDUSTRY.
>> Reporter: THIS STRIP CLUB
DANCER SAYS SHE DOESN'T FEEL
SAFE YET TO GO BACK TO WORK BUT
UNDERSTANDS WHY OTHERS ARE.
IN EVERY HE INDUSTRY THERE ARE
WHO ARE WHO WHO ARE MOTT
ELIGIBLE FOR SERB OR EI.
>> THE ACTIVE OCCUPYING OF THESE
ESTABLISHMENTS, WE'RE GOING TO
SEE OUTBREAKS AND THAT CAN LEAD
TO MORE COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION
AND CAUSE A VERY REAL PROBLEM.
IT HAS HAPPENED IN OTHER PLACES.
>> Reporter: DESPITE THE
VIOLATIONS THE BRASS RAIL
REMAINS OPEN, BUT PUBLIC HEALTH
OFFICIALS SAY THEY WILL MONITOR
THE CLUB'S CONDUCT CLOSELY.

>> Reporter: THE DEVASTATION
OF THESE PARENTS SO RAW AND ONLY
JUST BEGINNING.
THEY LOST THEIR DAUGHTER

SHE WAS A CANADIAN CITIZEN.
AS THE EXPLOSION TORE THROUGH
THEIR HOME, ALEXANDRA'S MOTHER,
A FORMER MONTREALER, SHIELDED
HER DAUGHTER WITH HER BODY BUT
IT WASN'T ENOUGH.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW THAT SHE WAS
HIT BEFORE IN THE HEART, SO...
THAT'S IT.
>> Reporter: ALEXANDRA
IMMORTALIZED IN THESE PICTURES
WITH HER FATHER IS NOW A SYMBOL
OF THE DISASTER STAGGERING TOLL
AND THE ANGER AT THE NEGLIGENCE
THAT LED TO IT.
ANTIGOVERNMENT PROTESTERS HOLD
LETTER PHOTO IN THE STREETS AS
THEY MARCH FOR JUSTICE.
AND HER LIKENESS FLOODS THE
COUNTRY'S SOCIAL MEDIA.
ALEXANDRA NOW DUBBED "THE ANGEL
OF BEIRUT."
>> MY ONLY HOPE TODAY IS THAT
THE FACT THAT WE LOST A CHILD IL
FOR ALL LEBANESE PEOPLE AND
EXPATS AND INTERNATIONAL PEOPLE
TO JUST HELP US SAVE THIS
COUNTRY.

HE DOESN'T WANT TO GIVER THE
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE
ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO HANDLE

POTENTIALLY HEIGHTEN THE RISK OF
CAMPING THE VIRUS AMERICANS ARE
INCREASINGLY LOOKING TO VOTE BY

BUT THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN
ATTACKING THE PROCESS AND THE
POST OFFICE ITSELF.
>> HE'S BEEN AFRAID FOR A WHILE.
HE KNOWS THAT ON THE LEJIT IT
WOULD BE HARD FOR HIM TO WIN SO
HE WANTS TO PUT OBSTACLES TO
PARTICIPATION.
>> THE POST OFFICE FUNDING IS
PART OF A LARGER CORONAVIRUS
STIMULUS PACKAGE CONGRESS CAN'T
AGREE UPON.
TODAY TRUMP SAID AS DEMOCRATS
CAVED TO THE DEMANDS HE WOULD
AGREE TO FUND THE POST OFFICE.
>> I WOULD DO THAT, SURE.
I WOULD DO THAT.
>> Reporter: THERE'S NEVER
BEEN WIDESPREAD ELECTION FRAUD
WITH MAIL-IN BALLOTS WHICH HAVE
BEEN USED SINCE THE AMERICAN
CIVIL WAR.
TRUMP, HOWEVER, CLAIMS, WITHOUT

LIKE CHINA OR IRAN COULD
INFLUENCE THE VOTE.
>> IT'S VERY HARD TOO COMMIT
MASSIVE FRAUD.
THERE IS CONCERN, HOWEVER, OF
DISFUNCTION IN THE MAIL
BALLOTING SYSTEM.
>> Reporter: EXPERTS SAY THERE
COULD BE DELAYS IN RECEIVING
BALLOTS AND MISSED DEADLINES,
SOMETHING THE POST OFFICE IS
ALREADY WARNING STATES ABOUT.
NOW WHILE NOVEMBER 3 MAY BE
ELECTION DAY, IT MAY NOT BE
RESULTS DAY.
>> YOU CAN BE SURE THAT TENS OF
MILLIONS OF BALLOTS WILL NOT BE
COUNTED ON NOVEMBER 3.
I MEAN THAT'S SIMPLY THE NATURE
OF A MAIL ELECTION.
THIS IS WHY ELECTION
ADMINISTRATORS HAVE WHAT THEY
CALL THE ELECTION ADMINISTERS'
PRAYER WHICH IS OH, GOD,
WHATEVER HAPPENS, PLEASE DON'T
LET IT BE CLOSE.
>> Reporter: EVEN WITH ALL THE
ACCUSATIONS THAT HE'S
MANIPULATING THE POST OFFICE FOR
POLITICAL GAIN, TRUMP HIMSELF
FILED FOR AN ABSENTEE BALLOT SO
HE COULD POSSIBLY VOTE BY MAIL

LIKELY ORDERED SOMETHING FROM
AMAZON.CA.
>> AS KATIE NICHOLSON REPORTS,
THE RETAIL GIANT IT BEING
INVESTIGATED BY CANADA'S
COMPETITION WATCHDOG FOR
PRACTICES THAT MIGHT BE HARMING
CANADIAN BUSINESSES.
>> ASK AN INDEPENDENT TORONTO
BOOKSTORE OWNER WHAT AMAZON
MEANS TO HIM, HE DOESN'T HOLD
BACK.
>> SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS HAVE
ACCEPTED THE EXEMPTION OF AMAZON
AND IT IS THE THING THAT
PREVENTS TRUE THRIVING FOR THEM.
>> Reporter: HE WELCOMES THE
COMPETITION PURE INVESTIGATION
ANNOUNCED THIS MORNING INTO
WEATHER AMAZON IS ENGAGING IN
ANTICOMPETITIVE PRACTICES, LIKE
INFLUENCING WHAT PRICES THIRD
PARTY SELLERS CAN CHARGE ON
THEIR OWN WEBSITES OR TRYING TO
ENCOURAGE ONLINE SHOPPERS TO BUY
AMAZON'S OWN PRODUCTS OVER THOSE
OFFERED BY OTHER SELLERS.
>> THE CANADIAN FEDERATION OF
INDEPENDENCE BUSINESS ALSO --
INDEPENDENT BUSINESS ALSO
WELCOMES THE INVESTIGATION,
ESPECIALLY NOW.
>> DURING THE PANDEMIC, OF
COURSE AMAZON GOT A GIANT LEG UP
BECAUSE, OF COURSE, WITH THE
NEED FOR PHYSICAL DISTANCING,
AND THE FACT THAT SMALL
RETAILERS WERE ESSENTIALLY SHUT
DOWN FOR MANY, MANY MONTHS.
>> Reporter: IN A STATEMENT TO
CBC NEWS, AMAZON SAID IT IS
COOPERATING WITH THE COMPETITION
BUREAU'S REVIEW AND IT CONTINUES
TO WORK HARD TO SUPPORT SMALL
AND MEDIUM SIZED BUSINESSES WHO
SELL IN OUR CANADIAN STORE.
>> IS AMAZON AN ANGEL?
NO.
BUT ARE THEY DIFFERENT THAN ANY
OTHER BIG RETAILER?
I WOULD SUGGEST NOT.
>> Reporter: THIS RETAIL
ANALYST HAS KEPT CLOSE WATCH ON
HOW OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE TRIED
TO CURTAIL THE ONLINE GIANT'S
DOMINANCE.
>> SO FAR THE FINES THAT HAVE
BEEN IMPOSED ON THIGHS FOLKS
HAVE BEEN CHURCH CHANGE.
>> Reporter: CASE IN POINT, IF
THE INVESTIGATION FINDS AMAZON
HAS BROKEN ANY CANADIAN
COMPETITION RULES IT COULD FACE
JUST A $10 MILLION FINE.
A DROP IN THE BUCKET FOR THIS
TRILLION DOLLAR COMPANY.
BUT WELCOME ALL THE SAME BY THE
DAVIDS TO AMAZON'S GOLIATH.
>> IF THE FINE MIGHT BE SMALL,
IT'S A STEP, RIGHT?

>> Mike: MESSAGE FROM
DEADPOOL:
DON'T KILL MY MOM, OR DAVID
SUZUKI.
JUST AHEAD, VANCOUVER BORN ACTOR
RYAN REYNOLDS RESPONDS TO THE
PREMIER'S PLEA FOR COVID-19
HELP.
>> THE WEALTH OF THIS HAUNTING
LANDSCAPE IS UNCOVERED SLOWLY,
CHIP BY CHIP.
ON A WIND SWEPT HILLTOP IN
DINOSAUR PARK VOLUNTEERS ARE
UNCOVERING THE RAILS OF WHAT IS
BELIEVED TO BE AN ENTIRE HERD OF
ASSESSMENT N D.C.SAURUS.
THEY A DIVIDE DID THIS IN WHAT
MAY HAVE BEEN A NATURAL DISASTER
MORE THAN 17 MILLION YEARS AGO.
>> IT'S STILL ONLY A THEORY THAT
THEY ALL WERE DROWNED IN A MASS
HERD DEATH.
BY LOOKING AT ALL THESE PIECES
OF BONES, WE'D LIKE TO STRETCH
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
>> THE PAINSTAKING WORK UNCOVERS
A LEG BONE FRAG.
HERE AND A PIECE OF SKULL THERE.
THE WORK IS DONE ENTIRELY BY
VOLUNTEERS.
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS,
GRANDMOTHERS, SCIENTISTS.
>> I'VE ALWAYS BEEN DOCTORED IN
THEM SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL.
>> Reporter: THE NAME DINOSAUR
MEANS, LITERALLY, TERRIBLE
LIZARD, TO MOST IT BRINGS TO
MIND THE IMAGE OF A TOWERING
TYRANNOSAURUS REX LIKE THIS ONE
AT THE CALGARY ZOO, CRASHING A
SLOW SOLITARY PATH TO A PRIMEVAL
JUNGLE.
BUT THANKS TO NEW TECHNOLOGY
SCIENTISTS ARE FINING THAT
DINOSAURS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN
REPTILES, SOME MAY HAVE BEEN
WARM BLOODED, PROTECTED BABIES
AND HERDS, AND MOVED ON LANDS AT
SPEEDS UP TO 80 KILOMETRES AN
HOUR.
THEY ARE BY NO MEANS EARTH'S
ONLY EXTINCTION, BUT THEY HAVE
EXERCISED A PULL ON THE
IMAGINATION UNLIKE ANY OTHER.
EVERY SUMMER TOURISTS PACK THE
GUIDED TOURS INTO THE HEART OF
DINE SOUR COUNTRY.
THE PARK IS ABOUT TWO AND A HALF
HOURS EAST OF CALGARY IT DRAWS
VISITORS FROM ALL OVER THE
WORLD, A POLL IN-INCREASE BY A
MAN MADE ANNIVERSARY, THERE'S
JUST A FLICKER OF TIME IN THESE
HILLS.
BINS FIVE YEARS SINCE THE UNITED
NATIONS DECLARED THIS AREA A
WORLD HERITAGE SITE, THE BEST
SPOT ON THE PLANET FOR FINDING
DINOSAUR FOSSILS FROM 17 MILLION
NEARING.
NEARBY TOWNS ARE EXCITED ABOUT
THE TOURISM POTENTIAL.
>> IF PEOPLE CAN SEE WHAT IS
HERE, NOT ONLY THE FACT THAT THE
DINOSAUR ANGLOPHONES LIKE THE
ONES WE SAW TODAY IS TREMENDOUS
BUT THE SCENERY IS REALLY GREAT.
>> Reporter: SCIENTISTS ARE NO
CLOSER TO FINDING OUT WHY
DINOSAURS VAN ISSUED FROM THIS
COUNTRY.
IF ANYTHING THERE ARE MORE
THEORIES TODAY THAN EVER BEFORE
INCLUDING SPECULATION AN
ASTEROID COLLISION OR A SOLAR
FLARE.
>> I HAVE A PERSONAL FAVORITE
BUT PROBABLY BECAUSE IT'S A
WHIMSICAL ONE AS OPPOSED TO
WANTING TO EXPLORE MORE AND THAT
IS THERE WASN'T ENOUGH ROOM FOR
DINOSAURS ON NOAH'S ARC.
JUST AFTER THE TURN OF THE
CENTURY FOSSIL HUNTERS FLOCKED
TO THESE HILLS IN WHAT
SCIENTISTS CALLED THE GREAT
CANADIAN DINOSAUR RUSH.
THEY HAD THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD
EXHAUSTED THE FIELD BUT TODAY
THEY KNOW THAT ETCETERA ONE OF
THE RICHEST IN THE WORLD, THAT
IT COULD WELL HOLD THE KEY OF
ONE OF MAN'S OLDEST MYSTERIES,
THE SECRET OF HOW DINOSAURS
LIVED, MAYBE EVEN HOW THEY DIED.

>> WE WEREN'T JUST ARBITRARILY
STREET CHECKING SOMEBODY.
>> Mike: A DOUGLAS COLLEGE
INSTRUCTOR ACCUSES TWO NEW
WESTMINSTER POLICE OFFICERS OF
RACIAL PROFILING HIM.
HE HAS REPORTED HIS CONCERNS FOR
THE OFFICE OF THE POLICE
COMPLAINT COMMISSIONER.
NEW WESTMINSTER PLACE DENY THE
CLAIMS AND SAY HE WAS QUESTIONED
AS PART OF AN ONGOING

>> I LOVE IT.
IT HELPS ME JUST BEING OUTSIDE

>> THE DIFFERENT LANDS WE GO TO,
WE ALSO LEARN A BIT OF
INDIGENOUS HISTORY, AS WELL AS
LEARNING ABOUT PLANTS, WHAT ARE
GOOD TO EAT.
>> TEENS IN CHILLIWACK MANY OF
THEM INDIGENOUS, ARE GETTING
THEIR HANDS DIRTY BUILDING
MOUNTAIN BIKING TRAILS, AND THEN
TESTING THEM OUT.
IT'S PART OF A PROGRAM RUN BY
THE UNITED WAY AND THE STO:LO
SERVICE AGENCY.
THEY'RE HOPING TO GET YOUTH INTO
NATURE AND FIGHT SOCIAL
ISOLATION FROM A THE CAPACITY.
>> AT THE SAY THEY'RE AT
CAPACITY SO THEY CAN'T DO ANY
MORE TESTING AND GAVE US A LIST
OF OTHER PLACES TO GO TO PIKE
MIKE WITH CASES OF COVID-19
RISING IN PIECE THOUSANDS ARE
BEING TESTED EVERY DAY, OR AT
LEAST THEY'RE TRYING TO.
LONG LINEUPS AT SEVERAL SITES IN
THE LOWER MAINLAND.
SOME PEOPLE WAIT HOURS FOR A
SWAB AND STILL GET TURNED AWAY.
>>> AND WITH COVID-19 CASES
STILL RISING IS LAST WEEK --
ACTUALLY, EARLIER THIS WEEK,
PREMIER HORGAN SUGGESTING B.C.
BORN ARGUMENTS RYAN REYNOLDS AND
SETH ROGAN MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP
WITH REACHING OUT TO YOUNGER
PEOPLE.
>> MINISTER DIX AND I HAVE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF
MAKING SURE THAT YOUNGER
DEMOGRAPHICS ARE HEARING THE
MESSAGE.
THIS IS A CALL OUT TO DEADPOOL
RIGHT NOW, RYAN, WE NEED YOUR
HELP UP HERE, GET IN TOUCH WITH
US.
MY NUMBER IS ON THE INTERNET.
>> Mike: THAT CALL DID NOT GO
UNANSWERED.
THE SILVER SCREEN SUPER HERO
DID, INDEED, FIND THE PREMIER'S
NUMBER AND LEFT A MESSAGE FOR
THE PEOPLE OF B.C.
BUT HE SAYS HE'S NOT THE RIGHT
PERSON TO WARN YOUNG PEOPLE
ABOUT THE DANGERS OF COVID-19.
>> B.C. IS -- THAT'S HOME TO
SOME OF THE COOLEST OLDEST
PEOPLE ON EARTH.
DAVID SUZUKI, HE LIVES THERE.
MY MOM, SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BE
COOPED UP IN HER APARTMENT ALL
DAY.
SHE WANTS TO BE OUT THERE
CRUISING KITSILANO BEACH LOOKING
FOR SOME YOUNG 30 SOMETHING
ABERCROMBIE BURNOUT TO GO FULL
Mrs. ROBINSON ON.
SHE'S INSATIABLE.
BUT HERE'S THE THING.
I HOPE THAT YOUNG PEOPLE IN B.C.
DON'T KILL MY MOM.
>> YEAH.
REYNOLDS ACE MESSAGE FOR THE
PREMIER SAYS HE WORRIES ABOUT
THE YOUNG PEOPLE PARTYING IN
B.C.
>> HE ADDS HE OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T
WANT ANY ANYONE TO DIE OF
COIFFED.
>> AS FOR HIS PART PREMIER
HORGAN TOOK A MOMENT TO THANK
THE ACTOR AND STRESSED THE
IMPORTANCE OF GETTING THE
MESSAGE ACROSS.
>> UNDERLYING THE HUMOUR WAS A
VERY SERIOUS MESSAGE.
WE WANT TO REACH OUT TO THOSE
WHO ARE NOT HEARING THE MESSAGE
EITHER FROM OUR DAILY BRIEFINGS
OR FROM NEWS COVERAGE, AND
SPEAKING TO THAT GROUP OF PEOPLE
SAYING, THINK ABOUT YOUR MOM.
THINK ABOUT RYAN'S MOM.
THINK ABOUT DAVID SUZUKI AND ALL
THE ELDERS IN YOU'RE COMMUNITY.
WE NEED TO PROTECT THEM AND WE
NEED TO PROTECT EACH OTHER.
>> Lien: NOT TO BE LEFT OUT,
SETH ROGAN ALSO RESPONDED TO THE
PREMIER'S CALL, AND WHILE IT'S
NOT A VOICE MAIL ROGAN DID LET
THE PREMIER KNOW THAT ON
TWITTER, HE SLID IN HIS DM SO WE
CAN PROBABLY EXPECT MORE FROM
THE POINT GREY FUNNY MAN SOON.
>> SLID INTO HIS DMS SO HE LEFT
HIM A MESSAGE, A DIRECT MESSAGE,
SO WE'RE ALL CLEAR ON THAT.
>> I KNOW THEY WERE TRYING TO
TARGET YOUNG PEOPLE BUT YOU
NAILED IT THERE, MIKE.
YOU GOT IT.
>> Mike: THE PREMIER WITH HIS
DAD JOKES AND RYAN WITH HIS MOM
JOKES.
>> IT'S PERFECT.
TOO FUNNY.
>>> A SOCIAL MEDIA SENSATION HAS
TAKEN HIS MOVES ON THE ROAD.
HE IS HERE NOW IN B.C.
HOW HE MANAGED TO BRING TWO
SIDES WHO USUALLY DON'T ACTUALLY
GET ALONG TOGETHER.
NEXT.
>> Mike: 6:37, A LIVE SHOT OF
B.C. PLACE, DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER
TONIGHT.
THE WEEKEND IS HERE AND AS THE
BRITS SAY, IT'S HOTTING UP.
HOW WARM WILL IT GET ON THE
SOUTH COAST?
WE'LL FIND OUT FROM AMY NEXT.
>> WHEN COVID-19 SHUT EVERYTHING
DOWN GURDEEP PANDER'S DANCE
STUDIO IN WHITE HAS WAS ONE OF
THE CASUALTY.
>> SO HE DECIDED TO TAKE HIS
LOVE OF DANCING, SPECIFICALLY
BANNING RADESHWAR, ON THE ROAD.
>> AS DEBORAH GOBLE TELLS US,.
>> ALL THE PALACE FROM ALL THE
PARTIES THEY'RE GOING TO DANCE
BANGRA.
FIRST I'M GOING TO TRAIN THEM,
I'M GOING TO SHOW THEM OW TO DO
ONE OR TWO MOVES.
>> STAFF AND B.C. MOLASSES
AROUND THE EARLY ONES GURDEEP
HAS BEEN TEACHING.
SENSE COVID HIT HE'S TAKEN HIS
LOVE OF BANGRA DANCING ON THE
ROAD.
THIS MONTH HE'S ON VANCOUVER
ISLAND.
FROM FIRE STATIONS TO BEACHES,
HIS WHOLE JOB HE SAYS IS TO
SPREAD THE JOY OF THE PUNJABI
DANCE.
>> I BELIEVE IN BUILDING CROSS
CULTURAL BRIDGES AND BRINGING
PEOPLE TOGETHER, ESPECIALLY
THESE DAYS WHEN WE HEAR SOME
AUTHORITY OF NEWS WHEN PEOPLE
FEEL DIVIDED, SO WITH THE
BANGRA, I'M GLAD THAT PEOPLE
COME TOGETHER.
>> Reporter: ALONG THE WAY
HE'S BUILT A PRETTY BIG
FOLLOWING ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
>> ONE OF MY VIDEOS, IT GOT
12 MILLION VIEWS.
>> Reporter: EVEN THE PRIME
MINISTER RETWEETED.
>> IT STARTED ORGANICALLY.
I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PLAN TO BECOME
A VIRAL SENSATION, WHICH
SOMETIMES SURPRISES ME STILL.
>> Reporter: BUT EVEN THOUGH
HE DIDN'T EXPECT THIS KIND OF
ATTENTION, ONCE HE HAD IT, HE
DECIDED TO USE IT.
AS A FIRST GENERATION CANADIAN,
HE'S EXPERIENCED RACISM, BUT
BANGRA, HE SAYS, CAN EASE THE
DIVIDE.
>> I FIND THAT ONE REASON BEHIND
RACISM IS LACK OF EDUCATION.
WHETHER PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT
OTHER PEOPLE, THEY BECOME
SPECKS.
THEY BECOME DOUBTFUL.
SO WHEN PEOPLE COME TO LEARN,
WHEN PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT OTHER
PEOPLE, IT CREATES MORE DEEPER
CONNECTIONS.
>> SO WITH JUST HIS MUSIC, HE
WILL START TO DANCE BANGRA
STARTED WITH FARMERS IN INDIA
WHEN THEIR DAY WAS DONE.
HE WANTS TO BRING THAT JOY TO
EVERYONE HE MEETS.
>> ARE YOU READY?
>> WHICH IS HOW HE FOUND HIMSELF
IN THE B.C. LEGISLATURE TEACHING
PALACE FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE
HOUSE HOW TO DANCE.
BECAUSE EVEN WHEN YOUR POLITICS
DON'T ALIGN THE JOY OF THROWING
OUT YOUR ARMS, KICKING OUT YOUR
LEGS AND DANCING TOGETHER IS
UNIVERSAL.
DEBORAH GOBLE, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Mike: WITH A LITTLE BANGRA
AND MAYBE EVEN THE FORECAST --
ALL RIGHT, MAYBE JUST THE
FORECAST.
>> WE'LL STICK WITH THE
FORECAST.
HE IS A DELIGHT.
I'D LOVE TO HAVE HIM HERE TO DO
THE FORECAST FOR ME.
IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY FUN THIS
WEEKEND, IF YOU LIKE IT HOT AND
YOU LIKE TO BE OUTDOORS IN THE
SUNSHINE, IT'S GOING TO BE
GORGEOUS, THE HOTTEST OF THE
SUMMER.
GET READY THAT.
ONE EXCEPTION IS OVER ON THE
NORTH COAST WHERE WE STILL HAVE
THE RAINFALL WARNINGS UP FOR THE
COASTAL SECTIONS UP TO 100
MILLIMETRES OF RAIN BY TOMORROW
AFTERNOON, AND THEN FOR THE
INLAND INVESTIGATIONS AND THAT
INCLUDES KITIMAT, 75 MILLIMETRES
OF RAIN DEFINITELY FLASH
FLOODING COULD BE A POSSIBILITY
AND WE CAN ALSO SEE COOLING
WATER SO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR
THAT.
YOU CAN SEE THE COASTLINE BEING
QUITE INTENSE.
PRINCE GEORGE HAS SEEN SHOWERS
BUT THEY'RE OCEAN AND AS WE HEAD
THROUGH THE WEEKEND, NOTHING
MUCH FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
THE PROVINCE.
WE'RE SEEING A COUPLE OF DAYS OF
JUST CLEAR SUNSHINE AND WITH THE
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WE'LL SEE
AIR STAGNATING IS AIR QUALITY
WILL BE A LITTLE LESS AND WE'LL
SEE THINGS GETTING HAZY BUT THE
TRADE-OFF IS BLUE SKY AND WARM
TEMPERATURES.
STARTING OFF WITH A LITTLE BUILT
OF CLOUD IN TOFINO TOMORROW BUT
DON'T WORRY IF YOU'RE HEADING
FOR THE BEACH IT WILL BRIGHTEN
UP QUICKLY AND WE'LL SEE A HIGH
OF 22.
27 FOR COMOX, TRYING TO IN
NANAIMO AND DOWN IN THE FRASER
VALLEY WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT
30, FROM 26 TO 30 IN THE HOPE
AND FRASER VALLEY AREA BUT THAT
WILL GET WARMER ON SUNDAY.
AS I MENTIONED, STILL A FEW
SPOTS IN THE PROVINCE THOUGH NOT
GETTING THE SUNNY, WARM WEATHER.
DEASE LAKE COULD SEE SOME
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AND A HIGH
OF 14.
SHOWERS WILL LINGER EARLY IN THE
MORNING FOR PRINCE GEORGE AND
THEN THAT SYSTEM WILL MOVE OUT
OF THE WAY AND YOU'LL GET THE
BENEFITS OF THIS HIGH PRESSURE
AND YOU'LL SEE THE SUNSHINE IN
THE HIGH OF 23.
26 FOR WILLIAMS LAKE, 34 IN
KAMLOOPS, GORGEOUS FOR THE
OKANAGAN, HEAD DOWN TO THE LAKE
IT'S GOING TO BE 32 TOMORROW AND
EVEN WARMER FOR SUNDAY.
SUNDAY WILL BE THE HOTTEST ONE
OF THE SUMMER.
I WOULD THINK OF THE YEAR, QUITE
POSSIBLY.
29 INLAND TOMORROW, 35 INLAND
FOR SUNDAY, AND THEN MONDAY
WE'RE AT 29 INLANDS, SAME FOR
TUESDAY AND A LITTLE COOLER FOR
WEDNESDAY BUT I DON'T THINK
WE'LL SEE ANY PRECIPITATION,
SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION UNTIL
LATE NEXT WEEK.
SO THERE YOU GO, ENJOY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, AMY.

TURKS AND CAICOS AND ARUBA ARE

LASS SEEN A 66% RISE WITH THE
FRENCH GOVERNMENT DECLARING
PARIS AND MARSEILLES AS VIRUS
RED ZONES.
THAT SAID, FRANCE IS NOT HAPPY
ABOUT BEING ADDED TO THE U.K.'S
NEW QUARANTINE LIST.
IT'S WARNED IT WILL TAKE
RECIPROCAL MEASURES.
BRITAIN'S (INDISCERNIBLE)
DEFENDED THE MOVE.
>> FRANCE IS HEADING IN THE
WRONG DIRECTION, AND JUST LATE
YESTERDAY EVENING, FRANCE
CONFIRMED THAT THE LEVEL HAD
EFFECTIVELY BREACHED THOSE
NUMBERS SO WE ACTED STRAIGHT
AWAY.
I WAS A VICTIM OF THE
QUARANTINE.
I QUARANTINED FOR TWO WEEKS AT
HOME AS A RESULT.
WE HAVE TO ACT AND PEOPLE EXPECT
US TO, AND IT'S THE RIGHT THING
TO BE DOING.
>> Reporter: NOW, IT IS PEAK
HOLIDAY SEASON HERE IN THE U.K.

CURRENTLY VACATIONING IN FRANCE

EARLY AND RACING HOME TO TRY AND
BEAT TOMORROW'S DEADLINE AND
AVOID TWO WEEKS OF QUARANTINE.
