>> Adrienne:  GOOD EVENING, I'M
ADRIENNE ARSENAULT.
ANDREW IS OFF.
TONIGHT A CANADA DAY LIKE NO
OTHER.
>> PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO BE SAFE.
>> Adrienne:  TREATING POMP FOR
VIRTUAL PARTIES AND SMALL
GATHERINGS.
THE PLAYOFFS COULD BE COMING TO
CANADA.
>> THAT'S AMAZING!
THAT'S AWESOME!
>> Adrienne:  TORONTO AND
EDMONTON MAY HOST FOR THE REST
OF THE NHL SEASON.
THERE IS IT WORTH THE RISK?
>> THAT'S THE MILLION-DOLLAR
QUESTION RIGHT THERE.
>> Adrienne:  CRACKDOWN IN HONG
KONG SPARKING INTERNATIONAL
CONDEMN AUTHENTICATION.
>> I'M SO PROUD OF THE PEOPLE IN
THIS COUNTRY.
>> Adrienne:  CELEBRATING
FRONTLINE WORKERS.
>> HELLO!
>> HI!
>> Adrienne:  THEIR MESSAGES FOR
CANADA AND A SPECIAL THANK YOU.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
[ * ]
>> Adrienne:  CANADA IS MARKING
153 YEARS DURING ONE OF THE
SINGLE HARDEST YEARS IN LIVING
MEMORY AND IT'S BARELY HALF
OVER, BUT AS THE PRIME MINISTER
NOTED TODAY IN HIS CANADA DAY
ADDRESS, WE'VE BEEN THROUGH
TRYING TIMES BEFORE.
>> Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau:  THIS YEAR IS 
UNLIKE ANY OTHER, BUT
IT'S CERTAINLY NOT THE FIRST
TIME OUR COUNTRY HAS CELEBRATED
TODAY DURING TOUGH TIMES.
>> Adrienne:  DESPITE THE
HARDSHIPS OF THE PAST SEVERAL
MONTHS, CANADIANS DID CELEBRATE
TODAY, ALBEIT FROM A DISTANCE.
WHETHER IT WAS SHARING A BEAT
ONLINE OR SHARING A THOUGHT
BEFORE A QUIET DAY WITH FAMILY.
>> YOU CAN SEE WHAT'S GOING ON
IN THE REST OF THE WORLD AND YOU
APPRECIATE CANADA MORE.
>> Adrienne:  BUT THROUGH
CELEBRATIONS, CANADA IS
WRESTLING WITH SOME HARD TRUTHS.
THAT FOR MANY THE PLAYING FIELD
IS NOT LEVEL.
THE PRIME MINISTER'S MESSAGE
TODAY, CANADA CANNOT REST ON ITS
LAURELS.
>> Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau:  NOT
UNTIL EVERY SENIOR HAS A SAFE
PLACE TO LIVE, NOT WHILE ANYONE
FACING RACISM OR INJUSTICE, NOT
WHILE WE STILL HAVE SO FAR TO GO
ON THE PATH OF RECONCILIATION.
>> Adrienne:  FOR THE OBVIOUS
REASON OF COVID-19, CANADIANS
COULD NOT GATHER IN THE
THOUSANDS AT PARLIAMENT HILL IN
OTTAWA OR ANYWHERE ELSE, BUT
PEOPLE DID CELEBRATE.
AS CAROLYN DUNN SHOWS YOU, MANY
DID SO RESPONSIBLY AND OTHERS,
NOT SO MUCH.
>> Reporter:  RESIDENTS OF A
CALGARY HOME RANG IN CANADA DAY
ON THEIR FEET.
MORE THAN 50 OF THEM, AVERAGE
AGE 91, STARTED A WALKING CLUB
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
PANDEMIC.
THE GROUP HAS LOGGED MORE THAN
TEN MILLION STEPS.
>> IT'S SUPER EXCITING.
IT'S BEYOND OUR IMAGINATION.
WE COULD NEVER EVER HAVE DREAMT
THAT WE WOULD WALK THIS FAR.
>> Reporter:  SITTINTHEY WALKED THE
EQUIVALENT OF A STROLL TO
OTTAWA.
IN THE CAPITOL, THERE WAS PLENTY
OF SPIRIT, IF NOT THE USUAL
CRUSH OF PEOPLE.
THAT'S WHERE THE CHOUDRY FAMILY
WAS MARKING THEIR DAY AS
CITIZENS, A SPECIAL DAY EVEN IF
COVID HAS THEM KEEPING THEIR
DISTANCE.
>> IT'S PRETTY SURREAL BUT IT'S
GOOD.
PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO PEOPLE SAFE
AND WE'RE TRYING TO BE SAFE.
>> Reporter:  NOT FAR AWAY,
ANTIGOVERNMENT PROTESTERS USED
THE DAY TO VOICE THEIR
OPPOSITION TO, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE COVID LOCKDOWN
MEASURES.
>> WE'RE CELEBRATING OUR NATION
WHILE WE STILL CAN.
>> WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT
FREEDOM.
WE WANT TO HAVE OUR FREEDOMS
RESTORED.
>> Reporter:  IN TORONTO, THE
WEATHER COOPERATED FOR
BEACH-GOERS WHO, FROM THE AIR,
SEEMED TO BE CREATING SOCIAL
DISTANCING BUBBLES.
THE VIEW OF COMPLIANCE FROM THE
GROUND WAS UP FOR DEBATE.
>> I'M LOOKING AROUND AND I'M
SEEING A GOOD ACCOUNTING OF
THAT, YES.
>> I DON'T BELIEVE SO.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE SO?
>> NO.
I SEE GROUPS, TEN OR MORE, AND
HERE AND THERE, ALL OVER THE
PLACE.
[ * ]
>> Reporter:  FOR THOSE NOT
WILLING TO RISK THE CROWDS,
THERE WERE PLENTY OF VIRTUAL
EVENTS, LIKE HIP-HOP DANCING AT
TORONTO'S HARBOUR FRONT.
AND THERE WAS BANGRA DANCING IN
THE YUKON, AN UNPRECEDENTED
CANADA DAY.
BUT IT TURNS OUT IF THERE'S A
WILL TO CELEBRATE THE MAPLE
LEAF, EVEN IF A PANDEMIC,
THERE'S A WAY.
, EVEN IF THIS YEAR
IS FROM YOUR CAR.
CAROLYN DUNN, CBC NEWS, CALGARY.
>> Adrienne:  FOR MANY
INDIGENOUS PEOPLE, CANADA'S
BIRTHDAY IS NOTHING TO CELEBRATE
BUT MORE OF A REMINDER OF LAND
TAKEN AND LIVES LOST.
AS PROTESTS WERE HELD IN SEVERAL
CITIES, ELLEN MAURO ASKED ABOUT
THEIR VISION FOR THIS COUNTRY.
>> Reporter:  ON CANADA DAY, A
DANCE OF POWER AND OF PAIN.
>> I FEEL THE SADNESS OF MY
ANCESTORS AND THAT'S THE DAY
WE'RE CELEBRATING, WE'RE
ESSENTIALLY CELEBRATING THE
GENOCIDE OF MY PEOPLE.
>> Reporter:  SO INSTEAD OF
CELEBRATION TODAY, REFLECTION ON
SO MANY LIVES ROBBED.
[ * ]
>> Reporter:  LITTLE JUSTICE FOR
THOSE WOMEN AND INSTITUTIONS
STILL RIDDLED WITH THE SYSTEMIC
RACISM.
>> WE HAVE TO COME OUT HERE AND
CONTINUE TO PROTEST THIS STUFF,
ESPECIALLY IN A TIME LIKE THIS,
BUT IT'S NECESSARY.
>> THERE'S SO MUCH EXCITEMENT
ABOUT BEING A CANADIAN, BUT SO
MUCH DISGRACE WITH THAT, TOO.
>> Reporter:  FOR A BETTER
FUTURE, KAYLA GILLMORE SAYS
ACTION IS NEEDED NOW.
>> THERE HAS TO BE LESS TAKING
OF KNEES AND MORE POLICY
CHANGES.
TAKING A KNEE FOR A PHOTO-OP IS
VERY EMBARRASSING WHEN YOU HAVE
SO MUCH POWER TO OFFER.
>> Reporter:  A REFERENCE TO
PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU,
MANY HERE ACCUSING HIS
GOVERNMENT OF EMPTY PROMISES.
>> WE WERE LIED TO BY JUSTIN
TRUDEAU AND IT'S TIME FOR THE
GOVERNMENT TO STEP UP AND THEY
NEED TO DO THEIR JOB, TO HONOUR
THE PEOPLE THAT THIS LAND WAS
STOLEN FROM.
>> Reporter:  CANCEL CANADA DAY
PROTESTS HAPPENED COAST TO
COAST.
THIS MARCH THROUGH HALIFAX AND
IN VANCOUVER, A DEMONSTRATION
DESPITE THE POURING RAIN.
>> PEOPLE ARE BEING TREATED
ABHORENTLY EVER DAY.
>> Reporter:  A NATIONAL
CELEBRATION COLLIDING WITH THE
NATIONAL RECKONING OVER SYSTEMIC
RACISM, ALL IN THE MIDST OF A
GLOBAL PANDEMIC.
THERE'S HOPE HERE BUT TRIP
TREPIDATION, TOO.
>> I'M AFRAID FOR MY OWN KIDS.
>> Reporter:  AND THEY'LL HAVE
THE SAME CHANCE AS ANYONE ELSE.
ELLEN MAURO, CBC NEWS, HAMILTON.
>> Adrienne:  IN TORONTO, A VERY
VISIBLE STATEMENT AGAINST
RACISM.
A GROUP OF 16 ARTISTS OF COLOUR
CAME TOGETHER THIS CANADA DAY TO
HELP CREATE THIS BLACK LIVES
MATTER MURAL TO SHOW CANADA
SHOULD HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR
ANTIBLACK RACISM.
PROMISING NEWS FOR HOCKEY FANS,
TWO CANADIAN CITIES ARE ALL BUT
SURE TO HOST THE REMAINING NHL
GAMES AND JUST TO BE SAFE, LET'S
CALL THIS A MOSTLY, ALMOST
ASSUREDLY 99% DONE DEAL,
PROBABLY.
DEVIN HEROUX EXPLAINS.
>> Reporter:  AT LONG LAST, IT
APPEARS THE SAGA IS OVER.
REPORTS TODAY EDMONTON AND
TORONTO ARE THE CHOSEN ONES.
>> GO, LEAFS GO!
>> Reporter:  SOME ARE
SKEPTICAL.
>> AT THIS MOMENT, IT'S NOT THE
BEST TIME TO DO IT.
SO WE HAVE TO WAIT.
>> I THINK IT WILL BE LIKE
HAVING THE OLYMPICS, WHERE ALL
OF THE GAMES ARE HERE AND THE
HYPE WILL BE HERE.
>> NO BETTER SPORT TO WATCH.
>> Reporter:  UP UNTIL A FEW
WEEKS AGO, LAS VEGAS WAS A
FRONTRUNNER BUT A SPIKE IN COVID
CASES IN THE U.S. CHANGED THE
GAME IN A HURRY.
>> THEY WOULD LIKELY BE LEANING
TOWARDS AREAS THAT HAVE THE
EPIDEMIC UNDER TIGHTERRER
CONTROL.
>> Reporter:  NHL PLAYERS WILL
BE UNDER STRICT QUARANTINE,
BUBBLES IN BOTH CITIES,
RESTRICTING MOVEMENT.
>> I THINK THE RISK TO THE LOCAL
COMMUNITY IS NEGLIGIBLE.
>> Reporter:  THE NHL PLAYER'S
ASSOCIATION STILL HAS TO SIGN
OFF ON THESE PLANS AND SOME
PLAYERS HAVE VOICED CONCERNS,
BUT HEALTH OFFICIALS AND
POLITICIANS IN BOTH CITIES ARE
READY TO MOVE FORWARD.
>> AND WHERE ELSE WOULD IT BE
MORE APPROPRIATE BEYOND WHATEVER
CITY THEY CHOOSE TO HAVE ONE OF
THE HUBS SET HERE?
>> Reporter:  BUT WHAT IS THE
ACTUAL PAYOFF?
>> THE CITY WILL BE ON DISPLAY
AND I THINK IT WILL GIVE AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY TO BE
BROADCAST.
>> Reporter:  HUNDREDS OF NHL
PLAYERS AND TEAM OFFICIALS
INFILTRATING TWO CANADIAN
CITIES.
>> TORONTO WON OUT AND EDMONTON
WON OUT BECAUSE THEY WERE DEEMED
TO BE SAFER, HEALTHIER SPACES
THAN OTHER CITIES.
>> Reporter:  NEARLY FIVE MONTHS
AFTER THE LAST PUCK DROP,
"HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA" LOOKS
SET TO RETURN.
DEVIN HEROUX, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne:  WELL, NHL PLAYERS
MAY SOON BE COMING TO CANADA,
THERE ARE STILL MANY PEOPLE WHO
CAN'T DUE TO THE COVID CLOSURES
AT THE BORDER.
SOME RESTRICTIONS WERE LIFTED
LAST MONTH TO HELP FAMILIES
RECONNECT, BUT MANY ARE STILL
SEPARATED.
>> Reporter:  A WELCOMED VISIT
FOR PATRICIA JAMES.
>> YOU LOOK NICE TODAY!
>> Reporter:  HER DAUGHTER MARY
COMES TO VISIT THE LONG-TERM
CARE ALMOST EVERYDAY TO SEE HER
MOM.
>> IT'S LIKE GOING FROM HAVING A
CONVERSATION TO HANGING YOUR
HEAD AND NOT BEING ABLE TO
CONCENTRATE AT ALL.
>> Reporter:  BUT MARY'S
BROTHER, TIM, IS STILL STUCK IN
THE U.S.
HE IS NOT A CANADIAN CITIZEN OR
A PERMANENT RESIDENT AND SO HE
CAN'T COME VISIT.
>> IT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME
THAT YOU WOULD ALLOW A TUTOR IN
AND NOT AN ADULT CHILD OF A
PARENT THAT'S STARTING TO LOSE
THEIR MEMORY.
>> THE LIST IS BIG.
SOMEHOW THEY MANAGE TO LEAVE
SONS AND DAUGHTERS OFF.
SO IT'S BEYOND FRUSTRATING.
>> Reporter:  WHEN OTTAWA SAID
IMMEDIATE FAMILY OF CANADIANS
COULD COME VISIT, THE FAMILY WAS
RELIEVED UNTIL THEY READ THE
FINE PRINT.
TURNS OUT, THE GOVERNMENT'S
DEFINITION OF IMMEDIATE FAMILY
DOES NOT INCLUDE SIBLINGS OR
CHILDREN, UNLESS THE CHILD IS A
DEPENDENT.
THIS TORONTO LAWYER SAYS IT'S
BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS.
>> IT'S INTERESTING COVID-19
EXPOSES THESE INEQUITIES AND I
HOPE MORE CANADIANS BECOME AWARE
OF THIS AND WILL BE CALLING ON
THE GOVERNMENT TO CHANGE THE LAW
FOR ALL OF US.
>> Reporter:  CANADA BORDER
SERVICE'S AGENCY DECLINED AN
INTERVIEW REQUEST BUT TOLD CBC
IN A STATEMENT THAT THE
GOVERNMENT RECOGNISEDS THAT
THESE ARE DIFFICULT SITUATIONS
FOR SOME.
HOWEVER, THESE ARE UNPRECEDENTED
TIMES AND THE MEASURES IMPOSE IMPOSED
WERE DONE SO IN LIGHT OF HEALTH
RISKS.
THE FAMILY ASKED CANADA FOR AN
EXEMPTION AND HASN'T HEARD BACK.
>> WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FEAR IF
THIS CONTINUES?
>> I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BE IN
THE SAME ROOM WITH MY MOTHER
AGAIN.
>> Reporter:  FOR NOW, ALL HIS
FAMILY AND HIM CAN DO IS SAY HI
FROM A DISTANCE.
>> GOODBYE, MOM, WE LOVE YOU!
>> Adrienne:  SOUTH OF THE
BORDER, THE U.S. HAS CORNED THE

SHOWN TO TREAT COVID-19,
REMDESIVIR.
MANUFACTURER GILL YARD SCIENCES

90% OF ALL OF THAT WILL GO TO
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.
GILEAD SAYS ANY EXCESS SUPPLY
WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR OTHER
COUNTRIES.
>>> THE NEW TREATY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN CANADA, THE UNITED
STATES AND MEXICO WENT INTO
EFFECT TODAY BUT AS KATIE
SIMPSON SHOWS US, THAT DOES NOT
MEAN TRADE TROUBLES ARE OVER.
I'M GOING TO TELL OUR NAFTA
PARTNERS, I'M GOING TO
IMMEDIATELY NEGOTIATE THE TERMS
OF THAT AGREEMENT TO GET A
BETTER DEAL BY A LOT, NOT JUST A
LITTLE, BY A LOT FOR OUR
WORKERS.
>> Reporter:  THIS IS THE MOMENT
SENIOR CANADIAN OFFICIALS
QUIETLY SAY WAS THE START OF A
FOUR-YEAR NATIONAL NIGHTMARE.
A THREAT FROM THEN CANDIDATE
DONALD TRUMP WITH POTENTIAL TO
UPEND THE COUNTRY'S MOST
IMPORTANT TRADING RELATIONSHIP.
SO THERE IS RELIEF.
THE DEAL SURVIVED RENEGOTIATION
AND FINALLY COMES INTO EFFECT
TODAY.
>> IT'S GREAT.
I THINK IT'S GOOD NEWS FOR
CANADIANS.
>> Reporter:  THE REVAMPED
AGREEMENT MEANS AMERICAN FARMERS
CAN SELL MORE DAIRY PRODUCTS IN
CANADA AND AUTOMAKERS MOST USE
MORE SUPPLIES AND HIGHER
STANDARDS IN MEXICO ARE REQUIRED
TO ENCOURAGE COMPANIES TO
CONSIDER THE U.S. OR CANADA FOR
NEW FACTORIES.
>> THIS WILL BRING JOBS BACK TO
THE UNITED STATES AND I THINK AS
WE SEE THIS PANDEMIC, WE
UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR ON-SHORE
MANY OTHER JOBS IN CRITICAL
INDUSTRIES, AS WELL.
>> Reporter:  COVID-19 HAS
STRAINED THE NORTH AMERICAN
SUPPLY CHAIN AND MANY OF THE
MANUFACTURERS WHO RELY ON TRADE
ARE SUFFERING THROUGH THE
UNCERTAINTY.
ADDING TO THOSE TENSIONS, FRESH
THREATS FROM THE U.S. TO SLAP
TARIFFS ON CANADIAN ALUMINUM,
SHOWING THAT EVEN WITH A DONE
DEAL, THE WHITE HOUSE REMAINS AN
UNPREDICTABLE PARTNER.
CANADA'S AMBASSADOR IN
WASHINGTON IS TRYING TO CONVINCE
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO
LEAVE CANADIAN ALUMINUM ALONE.
>> IT'S QUITE CRUCIAL TO THE
HEALTH OF THE MANUFACTURING
SECTOR ESPECIALLY NOW.
SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'LL WORK
THROUGH THIS.
>> Reporter:  THE NEW NAFTA IS
CONSIDERED A POLITICAL WIN FOR
THE LEADERS OF ALL THREE
COUNTRIES.
MEXICO PRESIDENT PLANS TO COME
HERE TO THE WHITE HOUSE NEXT
WEEK TO CELEBRATE.
THE PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE WILL
NOT CONFIRM IF JUSTIN TRUDEAU
HAS BEEN INVITED OR IF HE PLANS
TO ATTEND.
KATIE SIMPSON, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Adrienne:  RUSSIAN PRESIDENT
VLADIMIR PUTIN HAS WON THE RIGHT
TO POTENTIALLY STAY IN POWER FOR
LIFE.
A MAJORITY OF RUSSIANS VOTED TO
APPROVE CHANGES TO THE
CONSTITUTION ALLOWING PUTIN TO
SEEK OFFICE TWO MORE TIMES AND
REMAIN PRESIDENT UNTIL 2036.
THE PACKAGE OF CONSTITUTIONAL
CHANGES ALSO OUTLAW SAME-SEX
MARRIAGE.
PROTESTS AGAINST THE MOVE WERE
HELD IN MOSCOW AND
ST. PETERSBURG.
AND THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT
WARNS TRAVELING TO HONG KONG NOW
PUTS YOU AT RISK OF ARBITRARY
DETENTION, EVEN EXTRADITION TO
CHINA.
IT IS BECAUSE OF A NEW NATIONAL
SECURITY LAW MEANT TO SHUT DOWN
CALLS FOR INDEPENDENCE.
MEGAN BACHELOR SHOWS US THE
FIRST ARREST AND REACTION FROM
CANADA.
>> Reporter:  HUNDREDS OF
ARRESTS IN HONG KONG AND TEN OF
THEM WERE UNDER A HARSH NEW LAW.
[ * ]
>> Reporter:  IT WAS BROUGHT IN
WEDNESDAY WITH MUCH POMP AND
CEREMONY, ACTIVITIES DEEMED TO
BE SUBMERSIVE AND JUST HOLDING
UP THIS BANNER GOT ONE MAN
ARRESTED.
>> THE LAW WILL RADICALIZE SOME
PEOPLE.
IT WILL EMPOWER THE HONG KONG
POLICE AND THERE WILL BE MORE
CLASHES.
 AND THAT'S WORRISOME.
(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE).
>> Reporter:  CARRIE LAM, HONG
KONG'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE, STOOD BY
THE LAW SAYING IT WILL SUPPORT
THE PROSPERITY OF THE PEOPLE.
THERE'S BEEN CIVIL UNREST HEAR
FOR MORE THAHEREFOR MORE THAN A YEAR.
>> THE PURPOSE OF LAW IS TO
CHANGE HONG KONG FROM RULE OF
LAW TO RULE OF FEAR.
>> Reporter:  A RULE OF FEAR
THAT'S MEANT TO REACH OVERSEAS.
PROTESTERS HERE IN VANCOUVER NOT
ONLY CONCERNED FOR THOSE IN HONG
KONG BUT FOR THEMSELVES.
EVEN IN CANADA, ANYONE FOUND
BREACHING THIS NEW LAW COULD
FACE ARREST IN CHINA OR HONG
KONG.
PROTESTERS IN CANADA JUST AS
DEFIANT AS THOSE IN HONG KONG IN
SPITE OF THAT RISK.
>> NO, I'M NOT NERVOUS.
I WOULD GO BACK TO HONG KONG.
>> Reporter:  CANADA JOINED 26
COUNTRIES CONDEMNING THE LAW
THROUGH THE U.N. HUMAN RIGHT'S
COUNCIL.
U.K. PRIME MINISTER BORIS
JOHNSON WENT MUCH FURTHER.
HE INVITED THREE MILLION HONG
KONG RESIDENTS WHO HAVE A
CERTAIN BRITISH TRAVEL
DESTINATION TO LIVE AND WORK IN
HIS COUNTRY RIGHT NOW ON A PASS
TO PERMANENT CITIZENSHIP, AN
EXTRAORDINARY MEASURE IN A
DESPERATE TIME.
MEGAN BATCHELOR, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Adrienne:  AND BRITISH PRIME
MINISTER BORIS JOHNSON BECAME
THE LATEST TO URGE ISRAEL NOT TO
ANNEX THE WEST BANK AND THAT
PLAN SEEMS TO HAVE STALLED.
MARGARET EVANS EXPLAINS.
>> Reporter:  ONE OF THE WORLD'S
MOST INTRACTABLE CONFLICTS IS
STIRRING AGAIN, THE WAITING TO
SEE IF ISRAEL WILL GO AHEAD WITH
PLANS TO ANNEX PARTS THE
OCCUPIED WEST BANK DESPITE AN
INTERNATIONAL OUTCRY.
CRITICS SAY IT WILL SIGNAL AN
END TO THE FRAY BUT NOT QUITE A
STATE SOLUTION TO THE
PALESTINIAN CONFLICT.
CP LIVNNY IS A FOREIGN MINISTER.
>> THIS KEEPS THE WEST BANK
SURROUNDED BY ISRAEL, IT'S NOT
SUSTAINABLE.
>> Reporter:  IT WOULD, SHE
SAYS, BE AN HISTORIC MISTAKE,
BUT THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER,
NETANYAHU, SEES THIS AS AN
HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY, ENCOURAGED
BY THE U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP'S OWN PROPOSAL IS
ENVISIONS 30% OF THE WEST BANK
UNDER PERMANENT ISRAELI CONTROL
WHILE GIVING PALESTINIANS
LIMITED AUTONOMY ON WHAT'S LEFT
ON.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PLAN ISN'T
REALLY CHANGE THE REALITY ON THE
GROUND.
IT RECOGNISEDS THE REALITY ON
THE GROUND.
>> Reporter:  ISRAEL CAPTURED
THE WEST BANK IN 1967.
THERE ARE NOW AN ESTIMATED
430,000 JEWISH SETTLERS LIVING
THERE AND MORE THAN TO TWO MILLION
PALESTINIANS WHO SEEK A STATE OF
THEIR OWN WITH EAST JERUSALEM AS
THEIR CAPITOL.
THEY CALL THE TRUMP PLAN A
NONSTARTER AND THERE WERE
PROTESTS TODAY.
THE U.N. AND THE EUROPEAN UNION
HAVE BOTH WARNED ANNEXATION
WOULD VIOLATE INTERNATIONAL LAW
AND THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER,
BORIS JOHNSON, HAS ADDED HIS
VOICE, TOO.
>> WHAT IS PROPOSED BY ISRAEL
WOULD AMOUNT TO A BREACH OF
INTERNATIONAL LAW.
>> Reporter:  TODAY HE WENT
FURTHER, PENDING A FRONT-PAGE
ARTICLE IN A HEBREW NEWSPAPER,
BUT THE FUTURE OF THIS TROUBLED
LAND MAY BE DECIDED ON THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE OCEAN.
NETANYAHU IS STILL WAITING FOR
APPROVAL FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.
MARGARET EVANS, CBC NEWS,
LONDON.
>>> CANADA DAY CITIZENSHIP
CEREMONIES LOOKED A BIT
DIFFERENT THIS YEAR, BUT THE
PRIDE AND EMOTION, THOSE ARE THE
SAME.
WE'LL MEET TWO BRAND NEW
CANADIANS, NEXT.

OUTBREAK AMONG MIGRANT
FARMWORKERS, WHY SOME MAY BE
FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS.

PEOPLE BANNING TOGETHER.
>> CANADA DAY MESSAGES FROM SOME
>> Adrienne:  WELCOME BACK.
CLEARLY CANADA DAY IS A SPECIAL
DATE FOR NEW CANADIANS TO TAKE
THEIR CITIZENSHIP TOGETHER AND
IN PERSON.
WELL, COVID-19 RUINED THAT THIS
YEAR.
BUT AS DAVID THURTON EXPLAINS,
FOR THOSE WHO TOOK THE ONLY
ONLINE, IT WAS HARD NOT TO BE
EXCITED ABOUT THE FUTURE.
>> Reporter:  OMARE ARRIVES AT
HIS NEIGHBOUR'S TOWN IN
CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I., A COUPLE
HOURS AFTER BECOMING A CANADIAN.
>> I NEVER THOUGHT THIS DAY
WOULD COME, BUT HERE WE ARE AND
I'M OFFICIALLY CANADIAN.
>> HAPPY CANADA DAY!
>> Reporter:  HE AND 18 OTHER
CANADIANS ATTENDED A ONE OF A
KIND CITIZENSHIP CEREMONY, NO IN NOT
IN PERSON, CONNECTED VIRTUALLY.
MANY AT THE VIRTUAL CEREMONY
HAVE ALREADY PLEDGED THEIR LIVES
TO CANADA.
HE WORKS IN LONG-TERM CARE.
>> MY WAY OF GIVING BACK TO THEM
IS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR
PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS AND, YOU
KNOW, BE THERE FOR THE MOST
VULNERABLE POPULATION.
>> I'M VERY PROUD TO BE
CANADIAN.
>> Reporter:  MICHAEL YANUSE WAS
BORN IN MOW LAND AND SPENT TIME
TRAVELING THE WORLD.
CANADA'S NATURAL BEAUTY MADE HIM
STAY BUT DESPITE THE POSTCARD
BEAUTY, HE KNOWS THE COUNTRY HAS
SOME UGLY HISTORY.
>> I LEARNED QUICKLY OF THE
HISTORY OF CANADA.
IN SPITE OF THE ISSUES CANADA
FACED, THEY DO NOT WANT TO TALK
ABOUT IT.
>> Reporter:  THE MINISTER OF
IMMIGRATION ACKNOWLEDGED THAT
CANADA HAS WORK TO DO.
>> I WOULD SAY THAT YES, REMAIN
DOES EXIST IN ALL OF ITS FORMS
IN CANADA.
WE HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND
COME TO GRIPS WITH THAT HARSH
TRUTH.
["OH CANADA"]
>> Reporter:  IT'S AN IMPERFECT
COUNTRY WITH AN IMPERFECT
CEREMONY BUT THESE CANADIANS ARE
EXCITED TO BUILD A NEW START.
>> Adrienne:  FRONTLINE WORKERS
AT A B.C. HOSPITAL GOT A VERY
SPECIAL THANK YOU FOR CANADA
DAY, A VIDEO CHAT WITH THE DUKE
AND DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE.
PRINCE WILLIAM AND KATE SPOKE
WITH SIX STAFF MEMBERS FROM
SURREY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.
>> HELLO, EVERYBODY!
>> HI.
>> CAN YOU SEE US?
>> NO, WE CANNOT.
>> ORSOH, WE CAN.
>> I WANTED TO TOUCH BASE AND
SAY HOW PROUD WE ARE OF ALL OF
YOU, YOU LEAD THE VERY VERY
STOICALLY AND RIGHT TO THE TOP
OF THE LIST AN HAVE DONE A
FANTASTIC JOB.
>> THAT CALL COVERED THE
PROFESSIONAL AND SOME OF THE
PERSONAL CHALLENGES OF TREATING
PATIENTS WITH COVID-19.
MUCH MORE TO COME ON "THE
NATIONAL."
BUT FIRST, IT'S BEEN AN
UNPRECEDENTED CANADA DAY IN
UNPRECEDENTED TYPES.
WE BRING YOU REFLECTIONS FROM
FRONTLINE WORKERS AND WHAT THE
DAY MEANS TO THEM.
>> MY NAME IS CELINA STAMFORD
AND I'M WORKING IN LAYE LONG-TERM
CARE HOMES IN MONTREAL.
I'M A NURSE AND I GRADUATED LAST
SUMMER.
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE
WORKING IN A PANDEMIC, WORKING
AT A LONG-TERM CARE CENTRE IN
MONTREAL WHERE I'M NOT FROM.
IT'S REALLY OPENED MY EYES TO
NURSING IN GENERAL AND THE CARE
THAT WE GIVE AND THERE IS A LOT
OF RESIDENTS THAT WE GOT TO
KNOW.
IN PARTICULAR, THERE WAS A
COUPLE WHO ACTUALLY SHARED A
ROOM AND THEY'VE BEEN MARRIED
OVER 40 YEARS AND THEY WERE ABLE
TO STAY TOGETHER IN THE ROOM.
THEY BEAT COVID TOGETHER, WHICH
WAS REALLY AMAZING.
YOU COULD TELL THE STAFF WAS SO
APPRECIATIVE WE WERE THERE AND
IT KIND OF TOOK A LOAD OFF THEIR
SHOULDERS AND WE WERE ABLE TO
HELP OUT WHERE WE COULD.
GOING INTO A PROVINCE WHERE WE
DIDN'T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE, THE
TEAM AND I ARE ALL ANGLOPHONES
BUT EVERYONE WAS WELCOMING AND
APPRECIATIVE.
PEOPLE ON THE STREET WOULD STOP
AND THANK US FOR WHAT WE WERE
DOING.
SO IT'S JUST A WELCOMING
COMMUNITY OF CANADA.
WHAT'S BEEN MOTIVATING ME
THROUGH THE PANDEMIC IS HAVING
THE SUPPORT OF MY SPOUSE.
MY SPOUSE IS PETAWAWA AND WE
FACE-TIME EVERY FEW DAYS.
MY DOG ALWAYS GETS ON THE PHONE
AND HE'S WIGGLING HIS TAIL WHEN
HE HEARS MY VOICE.
I HAVE THE SUPPORT OF MY TEAM
HERE.
I DON'T THINK I COULD DO IT
WITHOUT THE SOCIAL SUPPORT.
TO EVERYONE,
>> Adrienne:  WELCOME BACK.
THOUSANDS OF MIGRANTS COME TO
ONTARIO EVERY YEAR AND WE KNOW
NOW THAT SOME OF THOSE FARMS
WHERE THEY LIVE AND WORK ARE
HOTBEDS FOR COVID-19.
THE ENTIRE PROVINCE IS NOW IN
PHASE TWO OF REOPENING, EXCEPT
FOR THIS ONE CORNER IN THE
SOUTHWEST.
THAT'S WINDSOR-ESSEX, HOME TO
TWO BIG FARMING COMMUNITIES,
KINGSVILLE AND LEAMINGTON AND AN
OUTBREAK OF COVID-19.
TODAY OFFICIALS ORDERED ONE FARM
DEALING WITH AN OUTBREAK TO
EFFECTIVELY SHUT DOWN BUT THAT
LEAVES THOUSANDS OF OTHER
MIGRANT WORKERS FALLING THROUGH
THE CROCKS.
AS JONATHAN GATEHOUSE EXPLAINS,
THAT MAY BECAUSE MANY ARE
UNDOCUMENTED.
>> Reporter:  COVID-19 HAS
TEMPORARILY CLOSED THE DOORS OF
THEIR MEXICAN RESTAURANT BUT THE
WORK DOESN'T STOP.
THEY'VE BEEN UP SINCE 5:00 A.M.,
COOKING MEALS FOR MIGRANT
WORKERS.
THEY WILL SPEND THE NEXT TWO
HOURS DROPPING OFF FOOD FOR FOUR
HUNDRED WORKERS IN THE AREA.
THEY'RE TWO PEOPLE ALLOWED ON
THE FARMS DURING THE OUTBREAK.
THEY'RE HEARING THE WORKERS'
WORRIES AND MANY COMPLAIN ABOUT
THE STRICT RULES IN PLACE TO
CONTROL THE DISEASE.
>> SOME ARE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN.
THEY FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE NO
RIGHTS AND THAT EVERYTHING HAS
BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM.
THAT THEY'RE HERE AND SOME FEEL
LIKE THEY'RE PRISONERS.
>> Reporter:  LAST WEEK, THE
PROVINCE STARTED TESTING MIGRANT
WORKERS AT THEIR FARMS,
PROMISING JOB PROTECTION FOR
ANYONE WHO ENDS UP IN
QUARANTINE.
BUT ONTARIO'S PLAN DOESN'T COVER
UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS, AN OPEN
SECRET AROUND TOWN WITH
HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS IN
THE AREA.
FARM LABOURERS WHO AREN'T HERE
ON GOVERNMENT PERMITS, HIRED
INSTEAD VIA TEMP AGENCIES AND
FLY-BY-NIGHT RECRUITERS
SHUFFLING THEM FARM TO FARM
TAKING A BIG CUT OF THEIR PAY.
THIS 24-YEAR-OLD FROM MEXICO
DECIDE AFTER TESTING POSITIVE
FROM COVID-19 AND CAME TO CANADA
ON A TOURIST VISA.
THIS MAN WORKED WITH HIM IN A
GREENHOUSE AND WE'RE CALLING HIM
JUAN TO PROTECT HIS IDENTITY
BECAUSE HE, TOO, IS
UNDOCUMENTED.
THE JOBS WERE ARRANGE BY A
CANADIAN RECRUITER.
THE WAGES WERE PAID IN CASH AND
THEIR SAFETY OVERLOOKED.
(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE).
>> Reporter:  HE STARTED TO GET
SICK, HE SAYS, ALL OF US, BUT
WITH DIFFERENT SYMPTOMS.
WE KNEW WE HAD THE CORONAVIRUS.
SOME OF THE FINAL DAYS TOGETHER
WERE SPENT LIVING IN THIS MOTEL
IN LEAMINGTON AND JUAN SAYS NO
ONE CAME TO CHECK ON THEM OR
OFFER THEM FOOD AND WATER.
THEY ABANDONED ME AND NEVER GAVE
ME ANYTHING, HE SAYS.
SAME WITH RAJILIO, HE ABANDONED
HIM.
THIS MAN ESTIMATED TWO NOW FARM
LABOURERS IN WINDSOR-ESSEX LACK
THE PAPERWORK.
>> THEY'RE MORE VULNERABLE
BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE
STATUS, SO-CALLED LEGAL STATUS.
THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE
HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.
>> Reporter:  THIS UNDOCUMENTED
MAN IS FROM GUATAMALA.
HE CAME HERE ON A TEMPORARY
FOREIGN WORKER PERMIT AND WHEN
HE EXPIRED HE STAYED AND WE'RE
PROTECTING H HIS IDENTITY BECAUSE
HE'S AFRAID HE'LL BE DEPORTED.
HE'S WORKED AT FOUR OR FIVE
DIFFERENT FARMS.
>> ARE YOU AFRAID YOU MIGHT GET
SICK?
>> Reporter:  NO, AT THE MOMENT
I'M NOT SCARED, THANK GOD,
BECAUSE TO ME, IT DOESN'T EXIST,
HE SAYS.
(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE).
>> Reporter:  AROUND ONE
THOUSAND WORKERS TESTED POSITIVE
ON FARMS SO FAR, BUT THIS NUMBER
TELLS US LITTLE ABOUT THE HEALTH
OF UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS.
>> IT IS A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF
BARRIERS FOR THOSE NOT CURRENTLY
DOCUMENTED AS WORKERS HERE AND
THE BIGGEST EMPEDMENT THERE IS
THEY DON'T HAVE OHIP COVERAGE
AND THIS TYPE OF TESTING IS NOT
AVAILABLE TO THEM.
>> Reporter:  TESTING IS
AVAILABLE FOR EVERYBODY, BUT
THAT MESSAGE MAY NOT BE GETTING
THROUGH.
SUZANNA AND TOMMY ARE FEARFUL
NOT OFCO INDIVIDUAL BUT OF
COMING FORWARD.
FOR MANY, IT COMES DOWN TO A
CHOICE BETWEEN HEALTH AND
SUPPORTING FAMILY BACK HOME.
THERE'S ALWAYS WORK TO BE DONE,
OFTEN WITH FEW QUESTIONS ASKED.
JONATHAN GATEHOUSE BE CBC NEWS,
LEAMINGTON.
>> Adrienne:  COMING UP, A YOUNG
WOMAN HEADED FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL
TALKS ABOUT THE RACISM SHE'S
EXPERIENCED ALONG THE WAY.

CARE HOME, BUT FIRST, MORE ON
CANADA DAY FROM FRONTLINE
WORKER.
WORKERS.
>> WE CAME FROM SYRIA AND I HAVE
FOUR KIDS AND WE HAVE BEEN HERE
IN CANADA FOUR YEARS.
>> I OPEN THIS MARKET IN 2019.
IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO START,
YOU KNOW, BECAUSE DIFFERENT

DIFFERENT BUSINESS.
>> AND ALSO, WE STILL HAVE A LOT
OF THINGS TO LEARN, HOW TO LEARN
HERE IN CANADA.
WE WANT TO FEEL WE ARE A PART OF
THE COMMUNITY.
>> I NEED THE HELP.
MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND MY NEIGHBOUR
AND MY COMMUNITY, TOO.
I AM VERY HAPPY WITH SOME
PEOPLE, THANK YOU.
>> MY NAME IS MOHAMED AND I'M 11
YEARS OLD AND I LIKE TO WORK
WITH MY MOM AND DAD.
MY FAVOURITE PART IN THE STORE
IS TO HELP SENIORS AND HELP
EVERYBODY BECAUSE THEY HELP US A
LOT WHEN WE CAME HERE AND I
WOULD LIKE TO THEM, ALSO, THE
SAME WAY THEY HELPED US.
>> MOST OF THE PEOPLE LIKE TO
COME TO OUR STORE INSTEAD OF
GOING TO THE BIG STORES AND I
THINK THE LOCAL PEOPLE WANT TO
SUPPORT US.
>> IT'S GOOD TIME TO HELP MY
COMMUNITY AND MY NEIGHBOURS AND
ALSO FEEL LIKE I AM CANADIAN.
>> CANADA TO ME IS MY HOME.
>> Adrienne:  24 YOUNG BLACK
PEOPLE HAVE ACHIEVED A FIRST IN
CANADIAN HISTORY.
THEY HAVE ALL BEEN ACCEPTED INTO
THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO'S
FACULTY OF MEDICINE.
THAT IS THE LARGEST COHORT OF
MEDICAL STUDENTS THIS COUNTRY
HAS EVER SEEN.
NICK PURDON SPOKE ABOUT WHAT IT
TOOK FOR HER TO GET ON THIS
PATH.
[ * ]
>> ON BEHALF OF THE UNIVERSITY
OF TORONTO'S FACULTY OF
MEDICINE, WE ARE PLEASED TO
OFFER YOU A DOCTOR OF MEDICINE
PROGRAMME FOR THE 2020-2021
SESSION.
>> Reporter:  FOR FATIMA,
GETTING THAT LETTER WAS THE BEST
THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO HER.
>> THIS WAS A BIG DEAL FOR ME
AND MEANT THAT I WOULD BE
CHANGING THE STATUS QUO AND
THERE CAN BE BLACK PHYSICIANS
AND BLACK MEDICAL STUDENTS.
>> Reporter:  IN AN IDEAL WORLD,
IT WOULDN'T BE A STORY A BLACK
WOMAN GOT INTO MEDICAL SCHOOL,
BUT WHEN YOU LEARN ABOUT THE
RACISM FATIMA ENDURED EVERY STEP
OF THE WAY, YOU REALIZE HER
STORY NEEDS TO BE TOLD.
>> I WAS IN THE EIGHTH GRADE AND
MY PRINCIPAL CALLED AN ASSEMBLY
TO SAY THAT SHE FELT STUDENTS OF
MY ETHNIC BACKGROUND, SOMALI
STUDENTS, WERE BAD STUDENTS AND
COULD NOT ACCEL AND ONLY CAUSE
TROUBLE.
>> Reporter:  THINK ABOUT THAT
FOR A SECOND.
IMAGINE THAT'S YOUR KID AT
SCHOOL AND IT WASN'T JUST ONE
BAD APPLE.
>> WELL, I REMEMBER MY BIOLOGY
TEACHER IN GRADE 11 SAYING THAT
BLACK STUDENTS ARE NOT GOOD
STUDENTS AND THEY SHOULDN'T BE A
PART OF HER CLASSROOM.
THAT WAS HURTFUL.
THEY REALLY DID TRY TO
DISCOURAGE ME, BUT THANKFULLY, I
DID NOT LET THOSE WORDS GET TO
ME.
>> Reporter:  IN PART, BECAUSE
FATIMA FOUND HELP.
AT 16, SHE GOT INTO A PROGRAMME
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO
THAT SUPPORTS BLACK HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS WHO WANT CAREERS IN
MEDICINE.
THAT PROGRAMME CHANGED FILM
ATIMA'FATIMA'SLIFE WHEN SHE SHADOWED A BLA
CK
DOCTOR.
>> I KNEW IT WAS POSSIBLE BUT
HAD NEVER SEEN ONE OUTSIDE OF,
MAYBE A GOOGLE SEARCH.
TO SEE ONE IN MY OWN CITY MEANT
I COULD BE A PHYSICIAN, TOO, ONE
DAY.
AND WHEN I TALKED TO THIS
PHYSICIAN, I FOUND SHE WASN'T SO
DIFFERENT THAN MYSELF AND I
COULD EASILY BE IN HER SHOES ONE
DAY.
>> BY ACCEPTING OUR OFFER, YOU
WILL BE JOINING A COMMUNITY WITH
A RICH HISTORY OF RESEARCH AND
DISCOVERY, EDUCATING LEADING
PHYSICIANS SINCE 1843, THE
UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO'S FACULTY
OF MEDICINE HAS SELECTED YOU TO
JOIN THE TRADITION OF
EXCELLENCE.
>> Reporter:  FATIMA OVERCAME
RACISM TO GET INTO MEDICAL
SCHOOL, OVERCOMING OBSTACLES IS
SOMETHING SHE LEARNED FROM HER
FATHER.
HE CAME TO CANADA FROM SOMALI AS
A REFUGEE AND HE'LL NEVER FORGET
THE DAY SHE READ HIM THE LETTER.
>> IT WAS ONE OF MY BEST DAYS,
YOU KNOW.
I WAS SO HAPPY AND EVERYBODY IN
THE FAMILY WAS VERY EXCITED FOR
MY DAUGHTER AND HAPPY FOR HER.
I SAID TO HER MANY TIMES,
CONGRATULATIONS.
>> Reporter:  FATIMA IS ONE OF A
RECORD 24 BLACK STUDENTS
ACCEPTED INTO U OF T MEDICAL
SCHOOL IN THE FALL.
THAT'S ALMOST DOUBLE SINCE THE
UNIVERSITY LAUNCHED THE BLACK
STUDENT APPLICATION IN 2017.
STILL, SHE KNOWS RACISM DOESN'T
GO AWAY BECAUSE YOU REACH YOUR
GOAL.
>> THERE'S LOTS OF TALK ABOUT
RACISM IN CANADA AND THE UNITED
STATES.
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU HOPE
FOR THIS MOMENT?
>> I HOPE THAT IT MAKES PEOPLE
QUESTION OUR SOCIETY AND I HOPE
THAT IT MAKES US CHANGE
DIFFERENT SYSTEMS THIS OUR
SOCIETY, LIKE POLICING AND
EDUCATION.
THERE NEEDS TO BE A LOT OF
REFORMS THAT GIVES EVERYONE AN
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND THAT
DOESN'T EXIST RIGHT NOW.
>> WE ARE DELIGHTED TO HAVE YOU
JOIN THE CLASS OF 2024 AND START
THIS EXCITING PHASE OF YOUR
JOURNEY IN MEDICINE.
YOURS SINCERELY, UNIVERSITY OF
TORONTO.
>> Reporter:  NICK PURDON, CBC
NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne:  WORKING FROM HOME
CAN BE A CHALLENGE.
WORKING FROM HOME WITH KIDS,
THAT'S ANOTHER LEVEL.
WHAT HAPPENED WHEN SCARLET
CRASHED HER MOM'S LIVE INTERVIEW
ON THE BBC COMING UP.
BUT FIRST, A CANADA DAY MESSAGE
FROM MORE FRONTLINE WORKERS.
>> I'M A PHYSICIAN AND I WORK AT
MT. SINAI HOSPITAL IN DOWNTOWN
TORONTO.
>> I'M ALSO AN EMERGENCY
PHYSICIAN AND I WORK AT NORTH
YORK GENERAL HOSPITAL IN
TORONTO.
>> OUR JOB DESCRIPTION IS
LARGELY THE SAME, EXCEPT THERE'S
AN INVISIBLE LETHAL VIRUS WE
HAVE TO ASSUME EVERYONE HAS.
>> WE ARE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE
PROTECTED WITH FULL PPE SO WE
DON'T BRING THAT VIRUS HOME TO
OUR FAMILIES.
>> I THINK THAT THE REAL
IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW IS THAT
THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS
OTHER PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY
DOING THEIR PART AND ARE WORKING
THROUGH THE SAME RISKS AS WE
ARE.
SO I DON'T NECESSARILY THINK
THAT WE'RE STAND-OUTS OR MAKING
THAT MUCH MORE OF A DIFFERENCE
THAN WE ARE.
THE NURSES SEE THESE PATIENTS
MANY, MANY MORE TIMES THAN I DO
A SHIFT.
>> SOCIAL WORK E WORKERS, I THINK, HAVE
BEEN HUGE.
SO MANY PEOPLE ARE DOING AN
INCREDIBLE PART AND WE'RE A
SMALL PART OF THAT.
>> I'M SO PROUD OF THE PEOPLE IN
THIS COUNTRY FOR BANNING
TOGETHER AND QUARANTINING
THEMSELVES FOR MONTHS TO MAKE
SURE OUR HOSPITAL SYSTEM DIDN'T
FALL APART AND TO MAKE SURE WE
ARE SAFE.
>> I'M JUST SO PROUD O TO BE A
PART OF THIS COUNTRY.
>> TO ME CANADA IS LOVE.
>> TO ME CANADA IS BEING KIND TO
ONE ANOTHER.
>> HAPPY
>>> WELCOME BACK.
JULY 1st MARKS MORE THAN JUST
CANADA DAY IN QUEBEC.
FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, IT'S
MOVING DAY.
AMOVING DAY AS MANY LEASES ACROSS
THE PROVINCE END.
AS ALISON NORTHCOTT FOUND OUT,
THE.HAS ADDED GREATER
CHALLENGES.
>> Reporter:  KARL SEGUIE HAS
BEEN IN THE MOVING BUSINESS FOR
20 YEARS AND WITH COVID-19, HE'S
NEVER SEEN A MOVING DAY LIKE
THIS YEAR'S.
>> WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF
OURSELVES A LITTLE BIT MORE AND,
ESPECIALLY, FOR THE EMPLOYEES
AND MY FAMILY.
>> Reporter:  MOVERS ARE WEARING
GLOVES AND MASKS AND TRYING TO
PHYSICALLY DISTANCE, NOT EASY IN
A MOVING TRUCK.
>> WE CANNOT GO AS FAST AS WE
WERE GOING.
WE HAVE TO TAKE OUR TIME.
>> Reporter:  THE COMPANY HE
WORKS FOR SAYS IT SPENT $100,000
TO MAKE THINGS SAFER, INCLUDING
HAVING TRUCKS DISINFECTED EACH
NIGHT.
>> IF, FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE TO
CONTINUE TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY
TO PREVENT THE COVID, OF COURSE,
IN THE NEXT YEAR, WE WILL ARE TO
RAISE OUR PRICE.
>> Reporter:  THIS MAN IS ONLY
MOVING DOWN THE STREET BUT HIS
COVID IS AN ADDED COMPLICATION.
USUALLY WE WOULD HAVE HELP FROM
FRIENDS, HE SAYS, BUT THIS TIME,
HE DOESN'T BECAUSE HE WORRIED IT
WOULD TAKE TOO MANY PEOPLE.
THE PROVINCE PUT OUT SOME TIPS
TO HELP THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
MOVING DO IT MORE SAFELY.
THEY INCLUDE ASKING FOR AS
LITTLE HELP AS POSSIBLE FROM
RELATIVES OR FRIENDS, HAVING A
HYGIENE RULE'S CAPTAIN AND
ASKING LANDLORDS IF PREVIOUS
TENANTS HAD COVID SYMPTOMS.
HOUSING RIGHT'S ACTIVISTS SAY
THE VIRUS ADDS TO THE STRESS OF
FINDING AN APARTMENT WITH
MONTREAL'S VACANCY RATE AT A
15-YEAR LOW AND RENTS CLIMBING.
>> THIS HAS BEEN EXACERBATED BY
THE COVID-19 CRISIS AND A LOT OF
PEOPLE JUST DON'T WANT TO MOVE
THIS YEAR.
WHAT THIS MEANS, THERE'S VERY
LITTLE IN THE WAY OF APARTMENTS
ON THE MARKET.
>> Reporter:  SHE SAID IT IS
HARD TO VISIT PERSPECTIVE
APARTMENTS IN A PANDEMIC AND
COULD BE HARD TO CRASH WITH
FAMILY OR FRIENDS IF YOU CAN'T
FIND A PLACE.
THE CITY SAYS THE NUMBER OF
PEOPLE SEEKING HOUSING HELP HAS
DOUBLED SINCE MOVING DAY LAST
YEAR AND TRYING TO FIND PLACES
FOR EVERYONE.
ALISON NORTHCOTT, CBC NEWS,
MONTREAL.
>> Adrienne:  LONG-TERM CARE
HOMES WERE AMONG THE HARDEST HIT
BY COVID-19 AND MANY ARE NOW
SLOWLY RECOVERING, THOUGH, AND
NOT DOING IT ALONE.

TORONTO NEIGHBORHOOD COMING

ABIGAIL AND JORDAN, HAVE BEEN

TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP WITH MANY
OF THE RESIDENTS WHO COME TO THE
WINDOW.
>> THE ONLY WAY TO ENCOURAGE
THEM IS WITH THE NOISE WE MAKE
TO LIGHTEN UP THE MOOD INSIDE,
HOPEFULLY, EVERYDAY.
, TO HELP
THEM GET THROUGH THIS.
>> Reporter:  FOR BRAD ROBERTS,
THE ACTIONS OF THE COMMUNITY
HAVE BEEN COMFORTING.
HIS 92-YEAR-OLD MONEY, BETTY,
WAS ONE OF THE RESIDENTS WHO
TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19.
HE REMEMBERS THE EARLY DAYS OF
THE PANDEMIC AND THE FEAR OF NOT
KNOWING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.
>> WHEN YOU GET THAT NEWS, IT'S
HARD NOT TO ASSUME THE WORST.
>> Reporter:  BUT HIS MOTHER
SURVIVED.
STILL, ALMOST COMPLETELY
ISOLATED FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD,
THE NIGHTLY CELEBRATIONS HAVE
BEEN SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD
TO.
>> TO SEE THE PEOPLE PUT THEIR
TIME AND ENERGY AND ATTENTION TO
PEOPLE THEY WANT TO SHOW SUPPORT
TO BUT THEY DON'T KNOW AND YET,
EVERYONE SHOWS UP EVERY NIGHT.
YOU KNOW, IT'S REMARKABLE.
>> Reporter:  ROBERTS SAYS HE'S
THANKFUL THE COMMUNITY HAS
RALLIED BEHIND RESIDENTS AND
STAFF WORKING ON THE FRONTLINES.
IN A STATEMENT, THE ELM GROVE
LIVING CENTRE SHARED ITS
GRATITUDE.
THE EXPERIENCE HAS ALSO BROUGHT
THE NEIGHBORHOOD CLOSER TOGETHER
AND MANY SAY THEY DIDN'T KNOW
THEIR NEIGHBOUR'S NAMES BEFORE
THE PANDEMIC.
>> WE'RE JUST SUPPORTING ONE
ANOTHER AND WE'RE JUST HELPING
ONE ANOTHER THROUGH THIS TIME.
>> Reporter:  AND COMMUNITY
MEMBERS SAY THEY PLAN TO KEEP
