>> Adrienne: GOOD EVENING, I'M 
ADRIENNE ARSENAULT.
ANDREW IS OFF.
TONIGHT, WHY WAS A CANADIAN ARMY
RESERVIST EXPRESSING EXTREME
ANTI-GOVERNMENT VIEWS ALLOWED TO
KEEP SERVING?
>> ANY TYPE OF BEHAVIOUR LIKE 
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. 
>> Adrienne: HE CALLED THE PRIME
MINISTER A TRAITOR AND ACTIVELY 
SUPPORTED A WHITE SUPREMACIST 
GROUP.
THE ARMY KNEW BUT FAILED TO ACT.
A CBC NEWS EXCLUSIVE.
A CBC NEWS EXCLUSIVE.
>>> A FAMILY'S OUTRAGE.
>> THEY SHOT MY SON SEVEN TIMES,
LIKE HE DIDN'T MATTER.
BUT MY SON MATTERS!
>> Adrienne: JACOB BLAKE, NOW 
PARALYZED AFTER THAT POLICE
SHOOTING, REIGNITING THE 
CONVERSATION ABOUT RACE. 
>> WE ARE SCARED AS BLACK PEOPLE
IN AMERICA.
>> Adrienne: AND THE POTENTIAL 
NBA BOYCOTT.
>>> INFECTED WITH COVID, TWICE.
>> THE SECOND CASE WAS EXACTLY 
THREE MONTHS LATER WITH EXACTLY 
THE SAME SYMPTOMS.
>> Adrienne: WHAT IT MEANS FOR 
IMMUNITY AND THE RACE FOR A 
VACCINE.
[APPLAUSE]
>>> MONTREAL FANS RETURN TO THE 
STANDS.

>>> WE BEGIN TONIGHT WITH A CBC 
NEWS EXCLUSIVE ABOUT EXTREMIST 
ELEMENTS IN A PART OF CANADA'S 
MILITARY.
>> HE HAD SEVERAL WEAPONS, 
SEVERAL, MORE THAN ONE.
>> Adrienne: OUR INVESTIGATION 
FOLLOWED LAST MONTH'S ATTACK ON 
RIDEAU HALL WHEN A HEAVILY ARMED
MAN DROVE THROUGH THE GATES, 
GAINING ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY 
THAT HOUSES THE GOVERNOR GENERAL
AND, FOR NOW, THE PRIME 
MINISTER.
THE SUSPECT IS A MILITARY 
RESERVIST, A MEMBER OF A UNIT 
CALLED THE CANADIAN RANGERS.
NOW WE'VE LEARNED ABOUT OTHER 
MEMBERS OF THAT SAME RANGER 
GROUP IN ANOTHER PROVINCE.
NEARLY FOUR YEARS AGO, THE 
MILITARY IDENTIFIED SUPPORTERS 
OF FAR-RIGHT MOVEMENTS IN THE 
RANGERS AND ALLOWED THEM TO KEEP
SERVING.
MURRAY BREWSTER HAS MORE ON WHAT
WE FOUND AND THE INVESTIGATION 
IT'S PROMPTED.
>> THIS MESSAGE IS BROUGHT TO 
YOU BY THE THREE PERCENTERS OF 
TENNESSEE. 
>> Reporter: IT STARTED IN THE 
STATES AND MIGRATED NORTH.
THREE PERCENTERS ARE 
SURVIVALISTS AND GUN RIGHTS 
ADVOCATES.

THE SOLDIERS OF ODIN ARE A 
SEPARATE ANTI-IMMIGRATION WHITE 
SUPREMACIST GROUP STARTED IN 
FINLAND WITH CHAPTERS IN CANADA 
THAT HAVE TRIED TO PRESENT A 
SOFTER FACE.
AND SUPPORTERS OF BOTH GROUPS 
HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED IN A 
CANADIAN RANGER UNIT.
CBC NEWS BEGAN INVESTIGATING THE
FOURTH RANGER GROUP AFTER A 
MEMBER FROM MANITOBA WAS 
ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE 
STORMING OF RIDEAU HALL LAST 
MONTH AND THREATS MADE AGAINST 
THE PRIME MINISTER.
THE INVESTIGATION LED US TO ERIK
MYGGLAND AND HIS FORMER WIFE 
JODI, ALSO A RANGER.
BOTH SUPPORTED THE THREE PERCENT
MOVEMENT.
FOUR YEARS AGO MILITARY 
COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE BECAME 
AWARE OF ERIK MYGGLAND'S ONLINE 
POSTS AND INTERVIEWED HIM AS A 
POSSIBLE THREAT.
HIS SOCIAL MEDIA FEED IS FULL OF
ANTI-GOVERNMENT RHETORIC.
ONE POST CALLS THE PRIME 
MINISTER A TREASONOUS BASTARD, 
AND YET, AS OF LAST WEEK, 
ALTHOUGH NOT ON ACTIVE DUTY, HE 
WAS STILL IN THE RANGERS, TO THE
SHOCK AND DISMAY OF THE DEFENCE 
MINISTER. 
>> MY VIEWPOINTS HAVE BEEN VERY 
CLEAR ON THIS.
ANY TYPE OF BEHAVIOUR LIKE THIS 
IS UNACCEPTABLE.
>> Reporter: CBC NEWS CONTACTED 
ERIK MYGGLAND WHO INITIALLY 
AGREED TO COMMENT.
HE HAS SINCE GONE SILENT.
HIS EX-WIFE IN AN EMAIL SAYS THE
COUPLE ARE NO LONGER THREE 
PERCENTERS.
JODI MYGGLAND SAID NEW MEMBERS 
OF THE GROUP HAVE RACIST AND 
ANTI-GOVERNMENT LEANINGS AND
THEY WANTED NO PART OF IT, YET 
ERIK MYGGLAND AS LATE AS JUNE OF
THIS YEAR WAS TWEETING SUPPORT 
FOR THREE PERCENTERS.
ONE EXPERT BELIEVES THE MILITARY
TRIED TO REHABILITATE HIM BUT 
FAILED. 
>> THE FACT THAT HE WAS NOT ALSO
DISCHARGED OR ASKED TO LEAVE 
OUTRIGHT IS REALLY SURPRISING. 
>> Reporter: THE MILITARY HAS 
LAUNCHED AN INVESTIGATION INTO 
WHAT CBC NEWS HAS UNCOVERED.
ASIDE FROM BEING UNABLE TO 
EXPLAIN WHY ERIK MYGGLAND WAS 
ALLOWED TO STAY, IT IS ALSO 
UNCLEAR WHY THE LEADERSHIP OF 
THE RANGER UNIT DIDN'T TAKE 
ACTION WHEN HIS ACTIVITIES 
BECAME APPARENT.
MURRAY BREWSTER, CBC NEWS, 
OTTAWA.
>> Adrienne: IN THE UNITED 
STATES, WISCONSIN'S GOVERNOR HAS
DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY 
AFTER PROTESTS OVER RACIAL 
INJUSTICE.
JACOB BLAKE WAS LEFT PARALYZED 
AFTER HE WAS SHOT IN THE BACK BY
AN OFFICER IN KENOSHA.
TODAY IN AN EMOTIONAL PRESS 
CONFERENCE, HIS FAMILY SPOKE 
ABOUT BLAKE'S CONDITION AND 
APPEALED FOR CALM.
STEVEN D'SOUZA HAS THAT STORY.
>> Reporter: WITH YET ANOTHER 
NIGHT OF ANGER AND FRUSTRATION, 
WITH YET ANOTHER AMERICAN CITY 
NOW BEARING THE SCARS OF A 
COMMUNITY'S FRUSTRATION, TODAY 
JACOB BLAKE'S MOTHER PLEADED FOR
RESTRAINT.
>> IF JACOB KNEW WHAT WAS GOING 
ON AS FAR AS THAT GOES, THE 
VIOLENCE AND THE DESTRUCTION, HE
WOULD BE VERY UNPLEASED.
>> Reporter: THE FAMILY SAYS IT 
WILL TAKE A MIRACLE FOR BLAKE TO
WALK AGAIN.
>> GET DOWN!
>> Reporter: VIDEO ON SUNDAY 
CAPTURED A POLICE OFFICER 
SHOOTING HIM MULTIPLE TIMES IN 
THE BACK AS HIS SONS, AGES 3, 5 
AND 8, SAT INSIDE THE VAN.
POLICE HAD REPORTEDLY BEEN 
CALLED FOR A DISTURBANCE.
THE FAMILY SAYS BLAKE WAS 
BREAKING UP A FIGHT.
NEW VIDEO SHOWS A TUSSLE WITH 
POLICE BEFORE BLAKE STARTS 
WALKING AWAY.
THE 29-YEAR-OLD HAD AN 
OUTSTANDING ARREST WARRANT FOR 
DOMESTIC ABUSE.
IT'S NOT CLEAR IF OFFICERS KNEW 
THAT AT THE TIME.
>> THEY SHOT MY SON.
SEVEN TIMES, SEVEN TIMES.
LIKE HE DIDN'T MATTER, BUT MY 
SON MATTERS.
>> Reporter: POLICE HAVE NOT 
SAID WHY THEY OPENED FIRE, AND 
NONE OF THE OFFICERS INVOLVED 
HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED, SO THEIR 
LEVEL OF TRAINING AND SERVICE 
HISTORY ISN'T KNOWN.
THE FORCE DOESN'T USE BODY 
CAMERAS. 
>> IF GEORGE FLOYD WASN'T CLEAR 
ENOUGH, TODAY WE STAND BEFORE 
YOU WITH ANOTHER ONE.
>> Reporter: THE FAMILY WANTS 
THE OFFICER WHO FIRED THE SHOTS 
ARRESTED, THE OTHERS FIRED.
THEY HAVE LAUNCHED A LAWSUIT 
AGAINST THE POLICE.
>> HOW MANY MORE EXAMPLES OF 
POLICE BRUTALITY DO WE NEED TO 
EFFECTUATE CHANGE?
>> Reporter: THE FAMILY SAYS 
BLAKE'S CHILDREN HAVE THE SAME 
QUESTION SO MANY ARE ASKING.
>> ALL MY GRANDSON ASKED, 
REPEATEDLY, IS WHY DID THE 
POLICE SHOOT MY DADDY IN THE 
BACK?
>> Reporter: WHILE THEY AWAIT 
THAT ANSWER, ANOTHER CURFEW 
TONIGHT WITH EVEN MORE TROOPS ON
THE STREETS.
STEVEN D'SOUZA, CBC NEWS, NEW 
YORK.
>> Adrienne: NOW THE ANGER OVER 
THAT SHOOTING IS NOT CONTAINED 
TO THE STREETS.
IT'S BEING FELT AT THE HIGHEST 
LEVELS OF PRO BASKETBALL AND WAS
EXPRESSED WITH PASSION TODAY BY 
CANADA'S NBA TEAM.
DEVIN HEROUX SHOWS US WHAT THE 
RAPTORS MIGHT GIVE UP TO KEEP 
INJUSTICE IN THE SPOTLIGHT.
>> FINDS AN OPEN POWELL. 
>> Reporter: IN THE MIDST OF A 
PLAYOFF PUSH, NOBODY WANTED TO 
TALK ABOUT BASKETBALL TODAY.
>> YEAH, I MEAN, I WAS PRETTY 
EXCITED, AND THEN WE ALL HAD TO 
WATCH JACOB BLAKE GET SHOT 
YESTERDAY, SO THAT KIND OF 
CHANGES THE TONE OF THINGS AND 
PUTS THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE.
>> Reporter: A RAPTORS TEAM 
REELING, RAW EMOTION SPILLING 
OVER, THE PLAYERS DEFLECTED 
EVERY BASKETBALL-RELATED 
QUESTION, KEEPING THE FOCUS 
SOLELY ON JACOB BLAKE AND POLICE
BRUTALITY.
>> I'M PRETTY TIRED AND SICK TO 
MY STOMACH TO HAVE TO SIT UP 
HERE AND TALK ABOUT THIS AGAIN.
>> Reporter: AND YET THEY 
CONTINUE USING THEIR POWERFUL 
PLATFORM TO ENSURE NAMES LIKE 
GEORGE FLOYD AND BREONNA TAYLOR 
WON'T DISAPPEAR IN NIGHTLY GAME 
HIGHLIGHTS.
NOW ADD JACOB BLAKE'S NAME TO 
THE LIST. 
>> I KNOW PEOPLE GET TIRED OF 
HEARING ME SAY IT, BUT WE ARE 
SCARED AS BLACK PEOPLE IN 
AMERICA.
BLACK MEN, BLACK WOMEN, BLACK 
KIDS, WE ARE TERRIFIED.
>> Reporter: SHAKEN AND 
CONSIDERING A DRASTIC MEASURE, 
THE RAPTORS AND CELTICS SAY THEY
MIGHT NOT TAKE TO THE COURT FOR 
GAME ONE OF THEIR SERIES 
THURSDAY NIGHT TO KEEP THE 
ATTENTION ON BLACK LIVES MATTER.
>> WE HAD A MEETING THIS 
MORNING.
A NUMBER OF THINGS ARE BEING 
DISCUSSED, SO I'LL KEEP THAT 
BETWEEN OUR TEAM.
>> PEOPLE POST MY JERSEY ALL THE
TIME, NUMBER SEVEN, AND EVERY 
TIME I LOOK AT MY JERSEY NOW, 
WHAT I SEE IS, YOU KNOW, A BLACK
MAN BEING SHOT SEVEN TIMES.
>> NBA COACH OF THE YEAR. 
>> Reporter: THE COACH WHO TWO 
DAYS FROM TIP-OFF IN A CRUCIAL 
SERIES WOULD NORMALLY BE PUSHING
HIS PLAYERS, MAKING SPACE FOR 
THEM.
>> I'M CERTAINLY WILLING TO TAKE
AS MUCH TIME, CANCEL THINGS THAT
WERE BASKETBALL-RELATED, 
WHATEVER, JUST TO MAKE SURE 
THESE GUYS ARE OKAY.

BRUTALITY.
DEVIN HEROUX, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: THE ISSUE OF RACE 
FAR FROM ABSENT DURING THE 
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.
TONIGHT WAS THE SECOND NIGHT OF 
FOUR, AND SO FAR THE TARGET 
HASN'T JUST BEEN DEMOCRATS.
IT'S BEEN DOUBTS THAT TRUMP 
VOTERS MAY HAVE AFTER A SUMMER 
OF UPHEAVAL.
AS PAUL HUNTER EXPLAINS, THAT 
INCLUDES SHORING UP CONCERNS 
ABOUT TRUMP'S STANCE ON RACE.
>> Reporter: FAMOUSLY, IT SITS 
JUST A BLOCK FROM THE WHITE 
HOUSE.
BLACK LIVES MATTER PLAZA.
THIS WEEK A REMINDER FOR DONALD 
TRUMP DURING THE REPUBLICAN 
NATIONAL CONVENTION THAT 
COUNTLESS HERE BLAME HIM FOR 
FUELLING AMERICA'S RACIAL 
DIVIDE.
>> TO ME, HE'S THE MOST BLATANT 
RACIST PERSON THAT I HAVE 
ENCOUNTERED IN MY 50 PLUS YEARS 
ON THIS EARTH.
>> Reporter: MOST POLLS SIGNAL 
MOST BLACK AMERICANS FAVOUR 
DEMOCRATS AND JOE BIDEN.
IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE.
TURNED OFF BY TRUMP'S PERSISTENT
RACE-TINGED LANGUAGE, NOT LEAST 
AFTER THAT WHITE NATIONALIST 
MARCH IN CHARLOTTESVILLE,
VIRGINIA THREE YEARS AGO WHEN 
TRUMP SAID. 
>> President Donald Trump: VERY 
FINE PEOPLE, ON BOTH SIDES.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP BUILT THE 
MOST -- 
>> Reporter: BUT THIS WEEK 
REPUBLICANS, BLACK REPUBLICANS, 
HAVE EMPHASIZED AN ALTERNATE 
VIEW. 
>> GROWING UP IN THE DEEP SOUTH,
I'VE SEEN RACISM UP CLOSE.
I KNOW WHAT IT IS, AND IT ISN'T 
DONALD TRUMP.
>> Reporter: THEIR MESSAGE, 
RE-THINK WHAT YOU'VE HEARD.
>> AND I'M TALKING ABOUT A LARGE
AND GROWING SEGMENT OF THE BLACK
COMMUNITY WHO ARE INDEPENDENT 
THINKERS, AND WE BELIEVE THAT 
DONALD TRUMP IS THE PRESIDENT 
THAT AMERICA NEEDS TO LEAD US 
FORWARD.
>> I JUST DON'T BELIEVE TRUMP IS
A RACIST.
>> Reporter: GIOVANNI PATTERSON 
TOLD US TRUMP WINS HIS VOTE 
BECAUSE OF WHAT HE'S DONE FOR 
BLACK AMERICANS.
>> LOOK AT WHAT HE'S ACTUALLY 
DOING.
THE TWEETS DON'T REALLY MATTER.
DEFINITELY DECREASING THE TAXES 
AND MAKING BUSINESS OWNERSHIP 
AND CREATING MORE JOBS, 
ESPECIALLY LOWERING THE BLACK 
UNEMPLOYMENT.
THAT IS HUGE.
>> Reporter: STILL, FOR MILLIONS
MORE, IT CAN BE HARD TO IGNORE 
THAT OTHER STUFF.
RECALL THIS SUMMER WHEN B.L.M.
DEMONSTRATORS WERE FORCED ASIDE,
SIMPLY FOR THIS PHOTO OP.
>> IS THAT YOUR BIBLE?
>> President Donald Trump: A 
BIBLE.
>> Reporter: AND IT WAS CLEAR, 
NEAR THAT SPOT TODAY, THAT IF 
TRUMP'S NOW REACHING OUT TO 
BLACK AMERICA, IT REMAINS A 
TOUGH SELL.
>> FOR ME, I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, OF COURSE 
I'M GOING TO GO WITH JOE BIDEN.
>> Adrienne: OKAY, SO PAUL, DAY 
TWO OF THE CONVENTION HAS WOUND 
DOWN.
WHAT STOOD OUT FOR YOU?
>> Reporter: WELL, IT'S AS IF 
SOMEONE HAS SAID TO DONALD 
TRUMP, HEY, WE'VE GOT TO WIN 
BACK REPUBLICANS, SO-CALLED 
MODERATE REPUBLICANS, WHO ARE 
WAVERING.
TONIGHT, AGAIN, A DIVERSE SET OF
SPEAKERS, EVEN A GROUP OF 
IMMIGRANTS SWORN IN AS U.S. 
CITIZENS ON TV WITH TRUMP 
LOOKING ON, SEEMINGLY AIMED AT 
DEMONSTRATING TRUMP IS 
INCLUSIVE.
IT'S OKAY TO VOTE FOR HIM, SO 
COME ON, LET'S DO IT.
AND MELANIA WITH A SPEECH FROM 
HER, INCLUDING A CALL TO COME 
TOGETHER ON THE MATTER OF RACIAL
INJUSTICES, AND AS WELL, SHE HAD
A RESPONSE TO CRITICS OF TRUMP'S
HANDLING OF THE COVID CRISIS.
HERE'S A CLIP ON THAT.
>> I KNOW MANY PEOPLE ARE 
ANXIOUS AND SOME FEEL HELPLESS.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU ARE NOT 
ALONE.
MY HUSBAND'S ADMINISTRATION WILL
NOT STOP FIGHTING UNTIL THERE IS
AN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OR 
VACCINE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE.
DONALD WILL NOT REST UNTIL HE 
HAS DONE ALL HE CAN TO TAKE CARE
OF EVERYONE IMPACTED BY THIS 
TERRIBLE PANDEMIC.
>> Reporter: ALL OF IT PERHAPS 
AN INDICATOR THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN 
KNOWS HE'S IN A DEEP HOLE WITH A
LITTLE OVER TWO MONTHS TOGETHER.
MIKE PENCE IS TOMORROW, TRUMP'S 
BIG SPEECH, ADRIENNE, IS 
THURSDAY.
>> Adrienne: ALL RIGHT, THANK 
YOU, PAUL.
PAUL HUNTER IN WASHINGTON 
TONIGHT.
>>> THE HEAD OF THE U.S. FOOD 
AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION ADMITTED
HE MAY HAVE OVERSOLD A COVID-19
TREATMENT CHAMPIONED BY THE 
WHITE HOUSE, CONVALESCENT 
PLASMA.
>> I PERSONALLY COULD HAVE DONE 
A BETTER JOB AND SHOULD HAVE 
DONE A BETTER JOB AT THAT PRESS 
CONFERENCE EXPLAINING WHAT THE 
DATA SHOW REGARDING CONVALESCENT
PLASMA. 
>> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT, FOR
YOUR LEADERSHIP. 
>> Adrienne: FLANKED BY DONALD 
TRUMP ON SUNDAY,
STEPHEN HAHN SAID TREATMENT 
REDUCED MORTALITY BY 30% WHICH 
SCIENTISTS IMMEDIATELY DISPUTED.
HAHN ANNOUNCED AN EMERGENCY USE 
AUTHORIZATION FOR CONVALESCENT 
PLASMA AFTER TRUMP ACCUSED HIS 
AGENCY OF POLITICALLY MOTIVATED 
STALLING.
>>> NOW IN CANADA, THE PICTURE 
OF COVID-19 IS BY NOW FAMILIAR 
ENOUGH, A MIX OF GOOD AND BAD 
NEWS.
THE GOOD NEWS, THE RATE OF NEWLY
REPORTED CASES REMAINS 
RELATIVELY LOW.
ACROSS THE COUNTRY TODAY, A 
TOTAL OF MORE THAN 320.
THE BAD NEWS IS THAT WEST OF 
ATLANTIC CANADA, THAT LOW RUMBLE
OF TRANSMISSION IS REALLY 
CONSTANT, AND DISPROPORTIONATELY
DRIVEN BY YOUNG CANADIANS.
>> AS COVID-19 CONTINUES TO 
CIRCULATE IN ANY AGE GROUP, AS 
IT HAS FOR WEEKS IN YOUNG 
ADULTS, IT BUILDS A RESERVOIR OF
THE VIRUS THAT CAN SPILL OVER, 
AFFECTING OTHERS, YOUNG AND OLD.
>> Adrienne: IN B.C. IN 
PARTICULAR, NEWLY EMERGING CASES
CONTINUE TO CREEP STEADILY 
UPWARD.
BRIAR STEWART SHOWS US HOW 
OFFICIALS ARE CONFRONTING THIS 
CURVE WITH SOME FIRM, STEADY 
PRESSURE.
>> Reporter: IN METRO VANCOUVER,
MASKS ARE NOW MANDATORY ON 
TRANSIT.
WHILE OFFICIALS SAY THE FOCUS IS
ON EDUCATION, RIDERS COULD BE 
FINED IF THEY DON'T COMPLY.
IT'S THE SAME WHEN IT COMES TO 
LIMITS ON CROWD SIZES IN 
RESTAURANTS AND BANQUET HALLS. 
>> WE HOPE THIS SENDS A MESSAGE.
>> Reporter: OVER THE WEEKEND, 
MORE THAN 400 BUSINESSES IN 
SURREY WERE VISITED BY 
COMPLIANCE TEAMS.
FOUR WERE GIVEN $2300 FINES FOR 
CONTINUALLY VIOLATING HEALTH 
ORDERS. 
>> THEY MADE EFFORTS TO WORK 
WITH THEM, TO KIND OF GAIN THEIR
COMPLIANCE, BUT YEAH, THEY WERE 
GIVEN REPEAT WARNINGS.
>> Reporter: POLICE WILL ALSO BE
OUT AT THIS INTERSECTION TONIGHT
BECAUSE THE CANUCKS ARE PLAYING.
ABOUT A THOUSAND PEOPLE GATHERED
HERE ON FRIDAY TO CELEBRATE A 
WIN, THOUGH OFFICERS WILL BE 
URGING PEOPLE TO SPACE OUT.
ON THE WEEKEND, THE TENANT WHO 
LIVES IN THIS 300-SQUARE-FOOT 
APARTMENT IN VICTORIA ALSO GOT A
$2300 FINE WHEN POLICE SAY HE 
HOSTED A PARTY WITH UPWARDS OF 
40 PEOPLE.
>> IT'S NOT LIKE I HAD 250 
PEOPLE NOT WEARING MASKS.
80% OF THE PEOPLE IN MY HOUSE 
WERE WEARING MASKS.
>> Reporter: BUT THE FINE DIDN'T
STOP HIM FROM HOSTING ANOTHER 
PARTY THE NEXT NIGHT.
HEALTH OFFICIALS HAVE PUT OUT 
WARNINGS ABOUT A NUMBER OF 
COVID-19 CASES CONNECTED TO BARS
AND CLUBS, AND SOME THINK THE 
ENFORCEMENT SHOULD BE HARSHER. 
>> I DO THINK THE CLOSURE SHOULD
BE ON THE TABLE IF PARTICULAR 
OPERATORS, PARTICULAR OWNERS 
DON'T TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. 
>> Reporter: HEALTH OFFICIALS 
SAY THEY AREN'T CONSIDERING 
INDUSTRY-WIDE CLOSURES, IN PART 
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THERE'S 
LITTLE UNDETECTED TRANSMISSION, 
AND THEY ARE ABLE TO TRACE AND 
CONNECT MOST CASES OF COVID-19.
>> WE DO KNOW THAT IF WE JUST 
SHUT THINGS DOWN, THEY DO TEND 
TO GO UNDERGROUND WHERE THEY ARE
LESS CONTROLLED, THEY CAN CAUSE 
MORE CHALLENGES.
>> Reporter: WHICH IS WHY 
OFFICIALS SAY THEY ARE STAYING 
THE COURSE AND STILL PREFER A 
LITTLE NUDGING OVER ENFORCEMENT.
BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS, 
VANCOUVER.
>> Adrienne: NOW COVID-19 ISN'T 
THE ONLY HEALTH CRISIS PLAGUING 
B.C.
THE PROVINCE RECORDED ITS THIRD 
STRAIGHT MONTH WITH MORE THAN 
170 OVERDOSE DEATHS.
>> MY HEART AND MY CONDOLENCES 
GO OUT TO EVERY FAMILY MEMBER, 
EVERY MOTHER, EVERY FATHER, 
EVERY BROTHER, SISTER, FRIEND 
WHO HAS LOST SOMEBODY IN THE 
LAST MONTH.
>> Adrienne: CLEARLY EMOTIONAL, 
DR. BONNIE HENRY WITH NEWS OF 
175 DEATHS IN JULY, NEARLY 
MATCHING A MONTHLY RECORD.
OFFICIALS SAY THE PANDEMIC HAS 
LED TO MORE PEOPLE USING AND 
DYING ALONE.
>>> AT LEAST A GOOD PART OF THE 
QUEBECERS WHO ARE SCARED ABOUT 
PROTECTING THEIR PERSONAL DATA. 
>> Adrienne: QUEBEC SAYS IT 
WON'T BE USING OTTAWA'S COVID 
ALERT APP, AT LEAST FOR NOW.
THE PREMIER SAYS THERE'S A LACK 
OF PUBLIC SUPPORT.
THE APP HAS BEEN DOWNLOADED MORE
THAN 2 MILLION TIMES IN ONTARIO.
>>> CBC NEWS HAS LEARNED THAT 
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS MOVING
TO SHORE UP PLANS TO SAFELY 
REOPEN SCHOOLS WITH A TRANSFER 
OF $2 BILLION TO PROVINCES AND 
TERRITORIES.
PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU 
WILL MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT 
TOMORROW MORNING AFTER WORKING 
OUT DETAILS WITH THE PREMIERS 
EARLIER TODAY.
IT'S EXPECTED THAT PROVINCES 
WILL HAVE WIDE DISCRETION ON HOW
TO USE THAT MONEY.
>>> CANADA'S NEW CONSERVATIVE 
PARTY LEADER ERIN O'TOOLE 
BOUNDED ON TO THE NATIONAL STAGE
TODAY WITH HIS FIRST PUBLIC 
ADDRESS SINCE WINNING THAT JOB 
TWO NIGHTS AGO.
HANNAH THIBEDEAU SHOWS US HOW HE
WANTS VOTERS TO SEE HIM.
>> DAY TWO.
>> Reporter: COFFEE IN HAND AND 
A QUICK STRIDE.
ERIN O'TOOLE STARTED DAY TWO 
TELLING CANADIANS THE KIND OF 
LEADER HE IS AND ISN'T.
>> I'M NOT FAMOUS.
I'M NOT WELL KNOWN.
I GET THINGS DONE.
I DON'T DROP THE BALL, AND I'VE 
ALWAYS FOUGHT FOR CANADIANS.
>> Reporter: A NOT-SO-SUBTLE DIG
AT JUSTIN TRUDEAU.
CLEARLY HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE 
LIKE THE LIBERAL LEADER, BUT 
WHAT ABOUT FORMER CONSERVATIVE 
LEADER ANDREW SCHEER?
>> I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR 
ANDREW AND I THANKED HIM FOR HIS
SERVICE. 
>> Reporter: IN THE LAST 
ELECTION, O'TOOLE'S PREDECESSOR 
WAS DOGGED OVER HIS POSITIONS ON
ABORTION AND SAME-SEX MARRIAGE, 
AND HE LOST THE ELECTION.
O'TOOLE MADE HIS POSITION CLEAR 
RIGHT AWAY.
>> I WON THE LEADERSHIP OF THE 
CONSERVATIVE PARTY AS A 
PRO-CHOICE CONSERVATIVE M.P.
THAT'S HOW I'M GOING TO LEAD AS 
THE LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION.
>> I THINK ERIN O'TOOLE'S TRYING
TO DEFINE HIMSELF FOR THE PEOPLE
WHO DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIS 
PREDECESSORS WHO MAY VOTE FOR 
HIM THIS TIME. 
>> Reporter: O'TOOLE HAS ALREADY
SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL PREMIERS, 
INCLUDING ALBERTA'S JASON 
KENNEY, WHO'S CONFIDENT O'TOOLE 
WILL ADDRESS REGIONAL DIVISIONS.
>> Premier Jason Kenney: REAL 
PRIORITY ISSUES FOR ALBERTANS 
AROUND OIL AND GAS, PIPELINES, 
FAIRNESS IN THE FEDERATION, JOBS
IN THE ECONOMY.
>> Reporter: AS FOR A RUMOURED 
FALL ELECTION, O'TOOLE HASN'T 
RULED OUT WORKING WITH THE 
LIBERAL GOVERNMENT, TO AN 
EXTENT. 
>> I WILL ALWAYS PUT THE 
INTERESTS OF CANADIANS FIRST AND
WILL COLLABORATE WHEN I CAN.
SO IF MR. TRUDEAU THINKS HE CAN 
PLAY SOME GAMES WITH A NEW 
LEADER AND FORCE AN ELECTION, WE
WILL BE READY.
>> IT WAS VERY CLEAR THAT HE 
WANTED TO CUT THE RUG FROM UNDER
HIS OPPONENTS AND START DEFINING
WHO HE IS AND WHAT HIS PARTY 
WILL STAND FOR BEFORE HIS 
OPPONENTS DO IT FOR HIM.
>> Reporter: OVER THE NEXT WEEKS
AND MONTHS, O'TOOLE WILL 
CONTINUE TO DEFINE WHAT TYPE OF 
LEADER HE IS BY DEVELOPING 
POLICIES ON ISSUES LIKE THE 
PANDEMIC RECOVERY AND THE 
ECONOMY, AND BY WHO HE APPOINTS 
AS HIS CRITICS.
HANNAH THIBEDEAU, CBC NEWS, 
OTTAWA.
>> Adrienne: A SCIENTIFIC 
DISCOVERY THAT COULD CHANGE HOW 
WE UNDERSTAND AND FIGHT THE 
CORONAVIRUS.
>> HE WAS DIAGNOSED AGAIN TO 
HAVE A SECOND INFECTION OF 
COVID-19.
>> Reporter: UP NEXT, THREE 
PEOPLE WHO CAUGHT COVID-19 
TWICE.
WHAT IT MEANS FOR A POTENTIAL 
VACCINE.
>>> PLUS, MONTREAL HOSTS A PRO 
SPORTS GAME WITH FANS IN THE 
STANDS, BUT SOME INFECTIOUS 
DISEASE EXPERTS SAY IT IS NOT 
THE RIGHT TIME.
>>> AND STUDENTS ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY ARE HEADING TO FROSH 
WEEK MINUS THE PARTIES, THE 
PARADES AND, WELL, ANYTHING LIKE
THIS.
>> EIGHT, NINE, TEN, WHOO!
>> Adrienne: WHAT WELCOME TO 
UNIVERSITY LOOKS LIKE IN THE AGE
OF COVID.
WE'RE BACK IN TW
>> Adrienne: WELCOME BACK.
AS RESEARCHERS TRY TO CREATE A 
VACCINE FOR COVID-19, THERE'S A 
NEW COMPLICATION TONIGHT.
THREE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN 
REINFECTED MONTHS AFTER THEIR 
INITIAL RECOVERY.
SO THIS COMES AS THE TOTAL 
NUMBER OF CASES APPROACHES 24 
MILLION WITH OVER 815,000 
DEATHS.
THE UNITED STATES CONTINUES TO 
LEAD THE WORLD ON BOTH COUNTS.
IT HAS 5.7 MILLION CASES AND 
178,000 DEATHS, BUT THE 
REINFECTIONS ARE RAISING 
CONCERNS THAT RECOVERY DOESN'T 
ALWAYS EQUAL LASTING IMMUNITY.
CHRISTINE BIRAK TELLS US WHAT 
THAT COULD MEAN.
>> Reporter: THERE ARE NOW THREE
LAB CONFIRMED CASES WORLDWIDE OF
PEOPLE BECOME REINFECTED WITH 
THIS CORONAVIRUS, INCLUDING A 
BELGIAN WOMAN IN HER 50S WHO
FIRST TESTED POSITIVE IN MARCH.
DOCTORS SAY SHE WASN'T 
HOSPITALIZED BUT WAS HOME SICK 
FOR WEEKS. 
>> THE SECOND CASE WAS EXACTLY 
THREE MONTHS LATER WITH EXACTLY 
THE SAME SYMPTOMS, BUT THEN OF A
SHORTER DURATION, WAS ONLY ONE 
WEEK.
>> Reporter: AIRPORT SCREENING 
ALSO PICKED UP A 33-YEAR-OLD MAN
IN HONG KONG, RETURNING FROM 
SPAIN.
HE'D ALSO BEEN INFECTED IN 
MARCH, AND YET FOUR AND A HALF 
MONTHS LATER . . . 
>> HE WAS DIAGNOSED AGAIN TO 
HAVE A SECOND INFECTION OF 
COVID-19. 
>> Reporter: RESEARCHERS IN HONG
KONG WERE THE FIRST TO SHOW THE 
PATIENT HAD IN FACT BEEN 
REINFECTED.
TO RULE OUT FALSE POSITIVE TEST 
RESULTS, RESEARCHERS GENETICALLY
SEQUENCED THE VIRUS HE HAD IN 
MARCH AND COMPARED IT AGAINST 
THE ONE DETECTED IN AUGUST.
THE GENETIC CODES DIDN'T MATCH, 
MEANING HE'D BEEN REINFECTED 
WITH A DIFFERENT STRAIN OF THE 
VIRUS. 
>> I THINK REPEATED INFECTION 
WILL BE A NORM IN THE FUTURE. 
>> Reporter: OTHER DOCTORS SAY 
IT'S TOO EARLY TO TELL.
>> THE WHOLE QUESTION IS HOW 
COMMON IS IT.
DOES IT HAPPEN IN 20% OF PEOPLE?
DOES IT HAPPEN IN 0.002% OF 
PEOPLE?
IF IT'S 0.002, WE SHOULD QUIT 
WORRYING ABOUT IT. 
>> Reporter: MOST DOCTORS AGREE 
THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN INFECTED DO 
HAVE SOME IMMUNITY.
IT MAY NOT BE ENOUGH TO PREVENT 
NEW INFECTIONS BUT MAY MAKE FOR 
MILDER SYMPTOMS DOWN THE ROAD.
BUT WANING IMMUNITY MEANS 
SCIENTISTS HAVE AN ADDED 
CHALLENGE IN DEVELOPING A 
PROTECTIVE VACCINE.
>> THIS DOES, YOU KNOW, 
REINFORCE THE NOTION THAT PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN SAYING FROM THE VERY 
BEGINNING, WHICH IS IT'S 
UNLIKELY WE'RE GOING TO GET A 
VACCINE WHICH IS GOING TO 
PROVIDE 99% PROTECTION FOR THE 
REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH ONE SHOT.
>> Reporter: BOOSTER SHOTS WILL 
LIKELY BE REQUIRED.
UNTIL THEN, PEOPLE HAVE TO 
PROTECT THEMSELVES AND OTHERS, 
EVEN IF THEY'VE BEEN INFECTED 
BEFORE.
CHRISTINE BIRAK, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: NEXT ON "THE 
NATIONAL," A CAREFULLY PLANNED 
RETURN TO THE STANDS.
[CROWD NOISE]
A COUPLE HUNDRED FANS SAW A GAME
IN-PERSON TONIGHT IN MONTREAL.
THE EXCITEMENT AND THE CONCERN, 
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
>> KEEPING THE PUCK IN WITH A 
SHOT, HE SCORES!
>> Adrienne: WELL, FROM THOSE 
FAKE CHEERS PUMPED IN THROUGH 
SPEAKERS TO THE CARDBOARD FANS 
OR THE VIRTUAL ONES, 
PROFESSIONAL SPORTS HAVE TRIED 
VALIANTLY TO MAKE GAMES FEEL A 
LITTLE MORE NORMAL THAN THEY ARE
IN THIS PANDEMIC.
TONIGHT AN EVEN BIGGER STEP.
IN MONTREAL, REAL FANS REALLY 
THERE WHEN THE MONTREAL IMPACT 
TOOK TO THE PITCH.
THIS IS A MILESTONE FOR CANADIAN
PROFESSIONAL SPORTS, CAREFULLY 
PLANNED, BUT NOT WITHOUT 
CONCERN.
ALISON NORTHCOTT TAKES US THERE.
>> Reporter: IT'S BEEN MONTHS 
SINCE THE MONTREAL IMPACT HAVE 
PLAYED IN FRONT OF A HOMETOWN 
CROWD. 
>> I'M REALLY THANKFUL BECAUSE I
REALLY LIKE SPORTS AND I FOLLOW 
IT A LOT.
>> WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
FOR A LONG TIME, BUT AT THE SAME
TIME, IT WON'T BE THE SAME. 
>> Reporter: ONLY 250 SPECTATORS
ARE ALLOWED IN THE 20,000-SEAT 
OPEN AIR STADIUM, BUT A FEW FANS
ARE BETTER THAN NONE, SAYS HEAD 
COACH THIERRY HENRY. 
>> OF COURSE IT DOES MAKE IT 
BETTER BECAUSE THE GUYS ARE 
[INDISCERNIBLE] SUPPORTERS ARE 
GOING TO PUSH US UNTIL THE END.
ALTHOUGH THEY GOING TO BE 260, 
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE IS 
NOBODY IN THE STADIUM. 
>> Reporter: THIS IS WHERE THE 
FANS ENTER, SANITIZE THEIR HANDS
AND HAVE THEIR TEMPERATURE CHECK
BEFORE HEADING IN TO THE 
STADIUM.
MASKS ARE MANDATORY IF YOU'RE 
OVER 10, AND PEOPLE FROM 
DIFFERENT FAMILIES HAVE TO 
DISTANCE FROM EACH OTHER.
THE TEAM'S PRESIDENT AND CEO 
SAYS THEY ARE FOLLOWING QUEBEC 
PUBLIC HEALTH MEASURES WITH 
EXTRA STAFF TO ENFORCE THEM.
>> IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF NORMALCY
THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD IN A WHILE, 
RIGHT?
IT'S A RETURN IN A SMALL WAY TO 
WHAT WE'RE USED TO, WHICH IS 
GOING TO SPORTING EVENTS, 
ATTENDING SPORTING EVENTS, AND 
BEING ABLE TO GATHER AND SEE OUR
FAVOURITE TEAM AND CHEER THEM 
ON.
>> Reporter: MAJOR LEAGUE 
BASEBALL, THE NHL, AND THE NBA 
HAVE ALL BEEN PLAYING IN FRONT 
OF EMPTY SEATS, BUT THE IMPACT 
IS TRYING SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
>> THE FACT THAT THEY ARE ONLY 
ALLOWING 250 PEOPLE IN A 
20,000-SEAT STADIUM SHOULD MAKE 
IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A RELATIVELY
SAFE GATHERING.
>> Reporter: STILL, HE SAYS ANY 
LARGE GATHERING IS RISKY BECAUSE
PUBLIC HEALTH MEASURES CAN BE 
HARD TO ENFORCE IN A CROWD.
>> I WOULD CAUTION PEOPLE TO BE 
VERY CONSCIOUS OF KEEPING YOUR
DISTANCE, TRY TO AVOID YELLING, 
SINGING, CHANTING.
THOSE THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO DO
WHEN YOU'RE AT A SOCCER MATCH, 
BUT THAT UNDENIABLY HAVE SOME 
CONTRIBUTION TO INCREASING 
TRANSMISSIONS. 
>> Reporter: THE IMPACT 
ACKNOWLEDGE THERE'S A LOT RIDING
ON THIS GOING WELL, FOR 
EVERYONE'S SAFETY, AND BECAUSE 
THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO BRING IN
MORE FANS SOON.
ALISON NORTHCOTT, CBC NEWS, 
MONTREAL.
>> Adrienne: STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL," CELEBRATING WELCOME 
WEEK IN THE AGE OF COVID.
>> IT'S A LOT OF EXPERIENCES 
THAT I'M MISSING OUT ON.
>> Adrienne: SO THEY HAD 
DRIVE-THROUGH GRADS, NOW THEY 
ARE FIGURING OUT FRESH WAYS TO 
DO FROSH WEEK.
WE'LL HEAR FROM NEW UNIVERSITY 
STUDENTS MAKING THE BEST OF IT 
JUST 
>> Adrienne: WELCOME BACK.
RIGHT NOW PARTS OF CANADA ARE 
STRUGGLING WITH CLIMBING COVID 
CASES, AND ALL OF US HAVE BEEN 
WARNED OF A POTENTIAL SECOND 
WAVE WORSE THAN THE FIRST.
AND SO IN THIS MOMENT WE WANT TO
LOOK BACK TO THE WORRY OF THAT 
FIRST WAVE WHEN THE VIRUS WAS 
BRAND NEW.
THEN WE VISITED TORONTO'S HUMBER
RIVER HOSPITAL TO SEE THE FRONT 
LINE RESPONSE.
*
*
>> THE DAYS OF A SIMPLE GOOD 
MORNING AT THE START OF A SHIFT 
ARE GONE.
>> ANY TRAVELLING?
>> ABSOLUTELY NOT.
>> Reporter: NURSES, THERAPISTS,
E.R. PHYSICIANS LIKE DR. NIMJEE 
WORK IN AN EVER-MORE THREATENING
WORLD.
>> HAVE A GOOD DAY.
>> Reporter: PERSONAL PROTECTION
EQUIPMENT SO PRECIOUS NOW IT'S 
COUNTED LIKE NARCOTICS.
>> NEED MY AUTOGRAPH TO GET THE 
N-95?
>> BECAUSE NOTHING IS KEPT OUT 
IN THE OPEN, WE HAVE TO GET IT 
FROM HERE.
THAT WAY THEY SORT OF KEEP A 
COUNT ON THEM.
>> Reporter: NORMALLY IT WOULD 
BE KEPT OUT IN THE OPEN, RIGHT?
>> YES, THAT'S CORRECT. 
>> Reporter: YOU CAN'T NOW 
BECAUSE THEY DISAPPEAR?
>> WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF THEM, 
LIKE, YOU KNOW?
YEAH.
>> SHORTNESS OF BREATH, A FEVER.
>> Reporter: WE WERE INVITED TO 
HUMBER RIVER HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF
WORRIES IT'S STILL NOT 
UNDERSTOOD HOW CALLOUS COVID 
REALLY IS.
>> IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S A FAIR
AMOUNT OF ANXIETY. 
>> YOU HAVE TO HELP THEM IN 
EVERYTHING AS SOON AS THE 
PATIENTS ARRIVE.
OF COURSE SAFETY OF EVERYBODY 
BEING COMPROMISED IN HERE.
>> Reporter: YOU SOUND A BIT 
EMOTIONAL, NELSON.
>> YEAH, BECAUSE IT'S I DON'T 
KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING 
TO HAPPEN TO ME, SO THAT'S ALL 
EVERY DAY.
>> YEAH.
OKAY.
>> BECAUSE OF THIS THING THAT'S 
GOING ON.
>> Reporter: THEY DON'T HAVE 
GEAR TO SPARE.
CERTAINLY NOT TO GIVE TO 
VISITING JOURNALISTS.
>> OKAY, SO WE DON'T WANT TO 
TAKE ANYTHING.
WE ARE SOMETIMES ISSUED OUR OWN 
N-95s FOR CERTAIN, YOU KNOW, 
HAZARDOUS SHOOTS OR WHATEVER.
IS IT OKAY IF I USE THIS ONE?
>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY, IT'S OKAY 
FOR YOU TO WEAR THAT HERE.
>> AND GOGGLES TOO?
>> YEAH. 
>> BUT THAT'S IT. 
>> AND THAT'S ALL YOU'RE GOING 
TO NEED.
>> OKAY.
>> Reporter: THERE ARE CHANGES 
DAILY NOW, INCLUDING 
INSTALLATION OF PLEXIGLAS 
BARRIERS. 
>> WE HAVE A LOT OF NURSES 
LOOKING AT CHARTS AND 
INFORMATION ON PATIENTS.
WE'VE PUT UP PLEXIGLAS AROUND 
THIS FOR AN EXTRA BARRIER 
PROTECTION.
AND YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU NEVER 
REALLY KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO COME
THROUGH THE DOOR IN AN EMERGE ON
ANY DAY.
>> Reporter: WITHIN MINUTES HER 
POINT WAS MADE.
>> SOMEONE'S COMING IN.
>> AN 88-YEAR-OLD WAS AT HOME 
WITH DAUGHTER AND SHE HAS HAD A 
DRY COUGH FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS.
TODAY SHE WASN'T FEELING WELL.
SHE SAID SHE WAS HAVING SOME 
PAIN, DISCOMFORT ACROSS HER 
CHEST.
>> CAN I JUST CLARIFY, HAS THERE
BEEN ANY FEVER?
>> YES, 38.1.
>> FEVER, SHORTNESS OF BREATH.
>> HI, I'M THE DOCTOR.
WE'RE GOING TO DO A CHECK FOR 
COVID, OKAY?
DO YOU KNOW THE VIRUS?
THE COVID VIRUS?
>> MM-HM. 
>> Reporter: WITH PERMISSION OF 
MARIA AND HER DAUGHTER, WE KEPT 
WATCH.
>> I NEED TO PUT A BIG THING IN 
HERE INTO YOUR NOSE, ALL THE WAY
TO YOUR THROAT, OKAY?
OKAY.
I KNOW, I KNOW.
IT IS NOT THE GREATEST THING TO 
DO.
>> Reporter: YOU JUST WOKE UP IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT NOT 
FEELING GOOD?
>> YEAH.
>> Reporter: WELL, THEY DID THAT
TEST. 
>> YEAH.
THIS HURT. 
>> Reporter: YEAH, I BET THAT 
HURT.
>> Reporter: FOR THE MOMENT 
THERE'S TIME FOR STAFF TO OFFER 
EXTRA TENDERNESS.
CURIOUSLY, FEWER ACCIDENTS OR 
INJURIES SEEM TO BE HAPPENING 
NOW.
THE BAYS AREN'T FULL.
COVID CHANGES AN E.R. AND THE 
INSTINCTS IN IT. 
>> WE'RE TRAINED TO GET IN THERE
AND DO OUR THING QUICKLY, AND 
NOW THAT ALL GOES OUT THE WINDOW
BECAUSE WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT 
WE'RE WEARING THE RIGHT AMOUNT 
OF P.P.E. IN THE RIGHT ORDER 
BEFORE WE GO INTO THOSE ROOMS, 
OTHERWISE THE ENTIRE TEAM IS AT 
RISK.
>> Reporter: EVERYTHING TAKES 
LONGER NOW, AND THAT HURTS.
THEY ARE ABOUT TO FIND OUT HOW 
MUCH.
ANXIETY LEVELS ARE SUDDENLY UP.
THERE'S A PATIENT ON THE WAY 
FROM A NURSING HOME, AND THE 
CUMBERSOME RATIONED GEAR HAS TO 
COME OUT. 
>> DOES THIS MAKE YOU NERVOUS AT
THIS MOMENT?
>> YEAH, IT'S A VERY STRESSFUL 
MOMENT.
I'D BE LYING IF I SAID I WASN'T 
NERVOUS. 
>> THE NURSES ARE MOVING INSIDE.
>> EMS?
>> AND ON HERE.
>> Reporter: SO THIS AMBULANCE 
COMING IN HERE IS CARRYING A 
PATIENT WHO THEY JUST ANNOUNCED 
CODED EN ROUTE, SO IT'S AN 
81-YEAR-OLD AND EVERYONE HERE IS
READY WITH THEIR P.P.E. BECAUSE 
THEY JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT 
THEY'RE GOING TO FACE.
LOOK HOW HARD IT IS TO 
COMMUNICATE BECAUSE THEY DON'T 
KNOW IF THIS MAN IS COVID 
POSITIVE THEY HAVE TO PRESUME HE
HAS IT.
ANYTHING THAT GOES IN THAT ROOM 
IS CONSIDERED COMPROMISED, SO 
THEY ARE CAREFUL.
>> HERE, HERE, HERE!
>> Reporter: BABY MONITORS AND 
SHOUTING FROM WITHIN THE SEALED 
ROOM HAVE TO SUFFICE.
IT'S TENSE, IT'S WRENCHING AND 
WE NEED TO STEP BACK.
CAN'T.
TAKE A BREATH NOW FOR THOSE WHO 
CAN'T.
THE HOSPITAL YOU'RE LOOKING AT 
WAS BUILT AFTER SARS, DESIGNED 
WITH THAT IN MIND.
IT'S HIGH TECH, FILLED WITH 
NEGATIVE PRESSURE ROOMS, AND 
METICULOUS ATTENTION TO FRESH 
AIR CIRCULATION.
SO IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM FAIR 
THAT WITH THE FORCE OF ALL THAT,
THE CORONAVIRUS IS STILL IN 
CHARGE.
AND COVID-19 SYMPTOMS CAN REALLY
TURN.
THEY DID FOR FRANK.
HE AND THE STAFF ALLOWED US TO 
STEP IN TO TALK, MASK AND 
GOGGLES SUFFICIENT PROTECTION. 
>> SO HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN 
FEELING THIS BAD?
>> OVER A WEEK NOW, BUT IT'S 
BEEN GETTING WORSE.
>> Reporter: HE'D BEEN COMING
FOR DIALYSIS DAILY BUT HAS NO 
IDEA HOW HE GOT SICK. 
>> YEAH, JUST -- THAT'S ALL I'VE
BEEN DOING.
I DON'T GO SHOPPING.
I DON'T GO OUT OR NOTHING.
THEY DROP ME OFF AND I GO BACK 
HOME.
THAT'S IT.
>> Reporter: WHAT DOES IT FEEL 
LIKE, FRANK?
>> REALLY, REALLY WEAK.
EVEN IF I TRY TO STAND UP, I'M 
DIZZY, I FALL.
>> Reporter: YEAH.
>> PAIN THROUGH MY WHOLE BODY.
IT'S NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE.
I TELL YOU THAT MUCH.
I'D DO ANYTHING FOR THIS TO GO 
AWAY. 
>> Reporter: THERE'S ANOTHER 
WISH, TO NOT BE SO LONELY.
>> THAT HURTS THE MOST BECAUSE 
MY FAMILY CANNOT COME HERE, MY 
SON, MY WIFE, ANYBODY, MY 
BROTHERS, ANYBODY.
NOBODY CAN COME AND VISIT.
I DON'T THINK THEY CAN EVEN 
BRING ME STUFF.
>> Reporter: HE TAKES A MOMENT 
TO CALL HIS WIFE AND LETS US 
CHECK IN WITH HER TOO. 
>> I JUST WANTED TO KNOW, LIKE, 
HOW ARE YOU MANAGING WITH NOT 
BEING ABLE TO COME IN HERE AND 
BE WITH FRANK?
>> NOT TOO GOOD.
I'VE BEEN CRYING THE WHOLE DAY 
AND WHOLE NIGHT. 
>> YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANY 
SYMPTOMS, ARE YOU?
>> NO. 
>> NOT MY SON, MY BROTHER?
>> NO, NO, DARLING.
>> Reporter: THAT'S MARY TEVY IN
THE ROOM WITH FRANK, A 
PATIENT-FAMILY LIAISON REP.
ALONG WITH DOCTORS AND NURSES, 
SHE'S IT FOR HUMAN CONNECTION 
FOR THE SICK NOW. 
>> I THINK IN REGARDS TO WHAT I 
DO, IT'S JUST HOW SAD THE 
PATIENTS ARE, BECAUSE A LOT OF 
THEM, THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND 
WHAT'S GOING ON AND THEY ARE NOT
SURE WHY THEIR FAMILIES AREN'T 
COMING TO SEE THEM, SO THAT'S 
THE HARDEST PART.
>> Reporter: HAVE YOU EVER SEEN 
A HOSPITAL WITH NO FLOWERS, NO 
BALLOONS, NO FAMILIES?
IT'S ODD.
THE SILENCES WEIGH HEAVILY, 
ESPECIALLY IN THE I.C.U.
THIS PATIENT IS ON A VENTILATOR,
UNCONSCIOUS, STRUGGLING AND HAS 
ONLY BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A 
FEW DAYS. 
>> SO THIS GENTLEMAN CAME IN AND
I WOULD SAY CERTAINLY UNDER AN 
HOUR PROBABLY CLOSER TO HALF AN 
HOUR AFTER BEING HERE NEEDED TO 
BE INTUBATED.
>> Reporter: THE BRUTALITY OF 
THE SPEED OF THAT IS NOT JUST 
MEDICAL.
AGAIN, IT'S ABOUT FAMILY.
THE I.C.U. NURSE IS THEIR 
LIFELINE. 
>> YOU SPOKE WITH HIS DAUGHTER 
EVERY DAY AND THIS MORNING?
>> YES. 
>> Reporter: HOW HARD IS THAT 
FOR YOU?
>> IT'S DIFFICULT BECAUSE THERE 
IS NO POSITIVE ANSWER TO GIVE 
THE FAMILY, BUT THE SUPPORT 
MEASURES. 
>> Reporter: WHAT DO YOU THINK 
OF THIS VIRUS WHEN YOU'VE SEEN 
WHAT IT DOES TO THESE PEOPLE?
>> IT'S VERY CATASTROPHIC.
IT'S VERY, VERY SAD TO SEE HOW A
PATIENT DETERIORATES QUICK.
>> Reporter: THIS GENTLEMAN 
SPENT THE WEEKEND IN I.C.U.
HE'S STILL THERE NOW.
AND BACK IN THE E.R., 
DR. NIMJEE'S SHIFT IS CLOSE TO 
ENDING.
HER STOICISM CLOSE TO CRACKING.
THE PATIENT BROUGHT IN EARLIER 
WHO CODED DID NOT SURVIVE.
EVERYTHING POSSIBLE WAS DONE FOR
HIM, BUT SHE CANNOT SHAKE WHAT 
SHE COULD NOT DO FOR HIS WIFE.
>> SO THAT LOOKED HARD.
>> YEAH.
IT IS HARD.
>> Reporter: AND YOU HAVE TO 
TALK TO THE FAMILY.
>> THAT'S THE HARDEST PART.
THAT'S THE HARDEST PART.
THE HARDEST PART IS WHEN THAT 
FAMILY MEMBER -- SORRY, WHEN 
THAT FAMILY MEMBER IS WEEPING 
AND WHEN THAT FAMILY MEMBER IS 
BEGGING YOU TO DO EVERYTHING 
THAT YOU CAN, AND WHEN THAT 
FAMILY MEMBER CAN'T BE HERE, 
IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO LET 
THOSE PEOPLE KNOW, THOSE FAMILY 
MEMBERS THAT I'VE SPOKEN TO, AND
FOR ANYBODY ELSE WHO'S BEEN IN 
THAT POSITION, THAT WE ARE DOING
EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN FOR THE 
PEOPLE THAT YOU LOVE AND THAT IT
HURTS US THAT YOU CAN'T BE HERE 
WITH THEM.
>> Reporter: THESE ARE THE 
REFRAINS.
THEY ARE SCARED AND SAD FOR 
THOSE WHO CANNOT BE WITH THE 
PEOPLE WHO MATTER NOW.
AND ALL THAT P.P.E. MUFFLES THE 
SOUNDS AND THE LOOK OF HUMANITY 
BUT DOESN'T ERASE IT.
DR. NIMJEE'S SHIFT IS LONG DONE,
BUT MARIA, THE FIRST PATIENT OF 
THE DAY, IS STILL HERE, AND SO 
SHE CHECKS IN. 
>> YOUR HEART RATE IS BETTER. 
>> Reporter: AND IT'S LOOKING 
UP.
MARIA IS STABILIZING HOURS AFTER
THIS, WAS ABLE TO HEAD HOME.
DR. NIMJEE TOO, TO KIDS SHE'S 
TOO SCARED TO HUG FOR THEIR 
SAKE. 
>> DO YOU HAVE THE STAMINA FOR 
THE LONG HAUL?
>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
YOU KNOW WHAT, HUMAN BEINGS ARE 
PRETTY REMARKABLE CREATURES, AND
WE ARE NOTHING IF WE'RE NOT 
HOPEFUL.
WE'LL HAVE TO GET THROUGH TO THE
OTHER SIDE.
THERE IS NO CHOICE, RIGHT?
AND WHEN THERE'S NO CHOICE, THEN
YEAH, THERE WILL BE STAMINA. 
>> Reporter: SCARED BUT 
DETERMINED, AND AS MUCH RESPECT 
AS CANADA ALREADY FEELS FOR 
PEOPLE LIKE THESE, THEY DESERVE 
MORE.
NOW HUMBER RIVER HOSPITAL TELLS 
US THE PATIENTS WE SPOKE WITH 
THAT DAY ARE DOING OKAY, AND AS 
OF THIS MORNING, THE HOSPITAL 
HAD ZERO COVID CASES.
>>> THE LOVED ONES OF MORE THAN 
9,000 CANADIANS KNOW PERSONALLY 
JUST HOW BRUTAL THIS VIRUS CAN 
BE, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW MANY 
LIVES IT HAS CLAIMED HERE.
CBC NEWS HAS BEEN COLLECTING 
THEIR STORIES IN A PROJECT 
CALLED "LIVES REMEMBERED."
TONIGHT, SOTOS VLACHOS 
IS REMEMBERED BY HIS DAUGHTER.
>> MY NAME IS DIMI FENTON AND ON
APRIL 22 I LOST MY DAD SOTOS 
VLACHOS TO COVID-19.
HE WAS ONE MONTH SHORT OF 
TURNING 90.
I WOULD HAVE BET MY LIFE THAT HE
WOULD HAVE SURVIVED IT.
HE WAS A STRONG AND RESILIENT 
MAN WHO HAD OVERCOME MANY 
OBSTACLES THROUGHOUT HIS 
LIFETIME.
HE WAS BORN THE FIRST OF EIGHT 
SIBLINGS IN A SMALL MOUNTAIN 
VILLAGE IN GREECE.
AT THE AGE OF 15, HE WAS SENT TO
ATHENS TO LIVE WITH HIS UNCLE, 
AND THAT'S WHERE HE LEARNED HIS 
TRADE, TAILORING.
IN THE EARLY '60S, HE IMMIGRATED
TO CANADA AND BUILT A LIFE AND A
HOME WITH MY MOTHER.
TOGETHER THEY STARTED A BUSINESS
IN CUSTOM TAILORING.
THEIR GREATER ACCOMPLISHMENT, 
THOUGH, WERE THE BONDS THEY 
FORMED WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY 
OF THE GREEK COMMUNITY.
THIS WAS ALL MADE POSSIBLE BY MY
DAD, WHO HAD A ZEST FOR LIFE.
HE WAS A DYNAMIC AND A CARING 
MAN.
HE WORKED HARD AND PLAYED HARD.
HE WASN'T ALWAYS AN EASY DAD.
HE WAS STRICT WITH MY SISTER AND
I, AND FOR THIS WE OWE HIM A 
GREAT DEAL.
MY DAD LOVED CANADA, BUT HE 
NEVER FORGOT HIS ROOTS.
AS A FAMILY WE TRAVELLED TO 
GREECE OFTEN, AND SEVERAL YEARS 
AGO WE TOOK OUR LAST TRIP THERE 
TOGETHER.
OUR ROLES WERE REVERSED.
I WAS TAKING CARE OF HIM, BUT WE
BOTH ENJOYED THE TIME SPENT 
TOGETHER WITH FAMILY.
HIS PASSING AT THE NURSING HOME 
WAS QUICK AND PEACEFUL, AND FOR 
THIS I AM GRATEFUL AND RELIEVED.
BUT I WISH THAT I COULD HAVE 
BEEN THERE, JUST TO HOLD HIS 
HANDS, GIVE HIM A KISS ON THE 
FOREHEAD AND LET HIM KNOW THAT 
IT WAS OKAY TO JOIN MOM.
HE WAS A GOOD DAD AND I LOVED 
HIM A LOT.
>> Adrienne: NOW THAT STORY IS 
ON OUR WEBSITE, ALONG WITH MANY 
OTHERS.
YOU CAN FIND THEM ALL AT 
cbc.ca/REMEMBERED.
>> Adrienne: THE UNIVERSITY OF 
MANITOBA TODAY BECAME THE LATEST
SCHOOL TO MAKE MASKS MANDATORY 
ON CAMPUS INSIDE COMMON AREAS OR
SHARED SPACES, JUST ONE OF THE 
MANY CHANGES COLLEGES AND 
UNIVERSITIES ARE MAKING BECAUSE 
OF COVID.
ANOTHER BIG ONE, HOW THEY'RE 
HOLDING FROSH WEEK.
THAT'S A TRADITION FOR NEW 
STUDENTS, AND AS LISA XING SHOWS
US, A LOT OF THOSE EVENTS ARE, 
WAIT FOR IT, HEADING ONLINE.
>> EIGHT, NINE, TEN, WHOO!
>> Reporter: THERE WON'T BE THE 
CHANTS, THE GATHERINGS EN MASSE,
AND LIKELY FEW PARTIES THIS 
TIME AROUND.
>> WE ARE THE [INDISCERNIBLE] 
SUBCOMMITTEE. 
>> Reporter: INSTEAD, FROSH WEEK
THIS YEAR FOR MOST SCHOOLS WILL 
LOOK MORE LIKE THIS.
CONCERTS AND SCAVENGER HUNTS 
WILL ALSO BE ONLINE.
>> THE TED ROGERS SCHOOL OF 
MANAGEMENT IS SITUATED IN THE 
CENTRE OF DOWNTOWN TORONTO.
>> Reporter: SO WILL CAMPUS 
TOURS.
SOFIA ZAMORANO IS STARTING HER 
FIRST YEAR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF 
TORONTO, BUT SHE WON'T BE ABLE 
TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT AGE-OLD 
TRADITION WHERE ALL THE 
ENGINEERS DYE THEMSELVES PURPLE.
>> IT'S A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING.
IT'S A LITTLE BITTERSWEET, 
ESPECIALLY AFTER NOT REALLY 
GETTING MUCH OF A GRADE 12 
YEAR, MUCH OF A PROM OR 
GRADUATION, KNOWING THAT IT'S 
AFFECTING ALSO MY FIRST YEAR, SO
IT'S A LOT OF EXPERIENCES THAT 
I'M MISSING OUT ON. 
>> Reporter: ORIENTATION WEEK 
ORGANIZERS HAVE MAILED OUT FACE 
PAINT IN ALL THE WELCOME 
PACKAGES TO TRY AND REPLICATE 
THE RITUAL. 
>> IT DEFINITELY CHALLENGED OUR 
NOTION OF WHAT A FROSH WEEK CAN 
BE. 
>> Reporter: THIS YEAR THEY'VE 
HAD TO RE-THINK HOW TO GET 
STUDENTS ENGAGED. 
>> THIS YEAR WE KIND OF 
IMPLEMENTED EVENTS TO BE MORE 
INTERACTIVE, SO INSTEAD OF JUST 
SOMEONE WALKING DOWN A RUNWAY 
FOR A FASHION SHOW OR GOING TO A
CONCERT, WE TRY TO IMPLEMENT 
MORE CONVERSATIONS WITHIN THE 
ZOOM CALLS. 
>> IT'S AN EXCITING TIME TO GO 
TO CAMPUS AND SEE THE CAMPUS AND
SEE EVERYONE AND, YOU KNOW, HAVE
AN EXCUSE TO GET A LITTLE BIT 
LOUD OR A LITTLE BIT CRAZY AND 
HAVE FUN WITH PEOPLE.
BUT EVERYONE'S MAKING SACRIFICES
RIGHT NOW, AND I DON'T THINK 
THIS IS ANY DIFFERENT. 
>> Reporter: OTHER STUDENTS ARE 
LOOKING AT A VIRTUAL FROSH AS AN
OPPORTUNITY. 
ANGELICA VOUTSINAS IS STARTING 
HER FIRST YEAR AT MCGILL. 
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE FACT 
THAT ALL OF YOUR EVENTS ARE 
GOING TO BE ONLINE FOR FROSH 
WEEK?
>> IT'S A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING, 
BUT IT'S ALSO -- I GUESS NO ONE 
ELSE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO SAY 
THAT THEY HAD THEIR FIRST YEAR 
OF UNIVERSITY DURING GLOBAL 
PANDEMIC, SO I'M COUNTING ON 
THAT ONE.
IT'S PRETTY COOL.
>> Reporter: SHE PLANS ON 
MEETING NEW FRIENDS ONLINE WITH 
A HOPE OF CREATING HER OWN 
BUBBLE IN MONTREAL.
LISA XING, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: OKAY, WHEN WE COME 
BACK, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS 
BEAUTIFUL VISTA.
NOW IMAGINE BEING LOST THERE FOR
FOUR DAYS WITH POLAR BEARS ON 
THE PROWL.
A SURVIVAL STORY IN OUR 
"MOMENT."
BUT FIRST ANOTHER CLOSE 
ENCOUNTER WITH NATURE.
SEAN AND SARAH RUSSELL SET OUT 
FOR THEIR USUAL FATHER-DAUGHTER 
FISHING TRIP ON CONCEPTION BAY 
IN NEWFOUNDLAND, BUT THEIR TRIP 
TURNED OUT TO BE ANYTHING BUT 
USUAL.
IT WAS CRASHED BY TWO VISITORS 
WANTING TO GIVE THEM A 
SPECTACULAR SHOW.
>> WHEN WE WENT OUT, THERE WERE 
JUST HUMPBACKS AROUND US, AND WE
WERE LIKE, OKAY, AND THEN THEY 
DISAPPEARED, SO WE WERE LIKE 
WHERE WERE THEY TO.
WHERE, WHERE, WHERE?
AND THEN OUT OF NOWHERE THEY 
STARTED SHOOTING OUT, AND THEY 
WERE STANDING THERE DOING 3-D 
SPINS UP IN THE AIR, TWO OF 
THEM!
>> THEY WERE FEEDING FOR ABOUT 
AN HOUR, AND THEN ONE OF THEM 
JUMPED, AND THEN THEY CAME UP TO
US AND WE SAW THEM.
THEY DROVE RIGHT UNDER OUR BOAT,
AND SO I GRABBED A CAMERA AND I 
SAID WE GOT TO GET THIS PICTURE 
OF THEM POPPING UMM.
POPPING UP.
WE DIDN'T EXPECT TO SEE THEM 
JUMP LIKE THAT OUT OF THE WATER.
>> NO.
>> AND THEN TO HAVE TWO OF THEM 
SPIN WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
>> MIND BLOWING.
>> IT WAS QUITE AN EXPERIENCE 
I'LL NEVER FORGET WITH HER.
>> NO.
>> AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY MIND 
BLOWING.
>> Adrienne: SO THAT VIEW IS A 
BEAUTIFUL PART OF NUNAVUT, 
UNLESS YOU'RE LOST.
THE REMOTE AREA IS WHERE ROBERT 
JUAMI SPENT THREE NIGHTS AND 
FOUR DAYS LAST WEEK LOST IN THE 
MOUNTAINS ON A HUNTING TRIP.
NO VEHICLE, NO FOOD, NOTHING BUT
HIS RIFLE AS POLAR BEARS WERE ON
THE PROWL.
HE TOLD HIS STORY IN INUKTITUT 
TO CBC'S REPORTER MADELINE 
ALAKARIAT, AND THAT IS OUR 
"MOMENT."
>> [SPEAKING INUKTITUT]. 
>> Adrienne: SO HOW DID HE GET 
OUT?
ROBERT WAS FOUND BY A COMMUNITY 
SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM.
HE WAS CURLED UP, JUST SOME 
BLISTERS ON HIS FEET WHEN HIS 
FAMILY GOT THE WORD THEY BURST 
INTO SONG, SO RELIEVED THAT HE'S
OKAY, AS ARE WE.
THAT IS "THE NATIONAL" FOR 
TUESDAY, AUGUST 25.
GOOD NIGHT.
