SEARCH FOR ANSWERS IN THE
KILLINGS OF TWO YOUNG GIRLS.
THE FAMILY SAID THE COURTS
FAILED THE TWO SISTERS FOUND
DEAD ON CHRISTMAS DAY.
ACCORDING TO RELATIVES,
THE 6-YEAR-OLD CHLOE AND
4-YEAR-OLD AUBREY SHOULD NOT
HAVE BEEN LEFT ALONE WITH THEIR
FATHER.
THE GIRLS' PARENTS WERE IN THE
MIDST OF A BITTER CUSTODY
DISPUTE.
THE BEHAVIOUR DETAILED IN COURT
DOCUMENTS WAS A BIG RED FLAG.
ACCORDING TO ONE EXPERT.
BRIAR STEWART SHOWS US WHY.
>> REPORTER: INSIDE OF THIS
CHURCH TODAY, PEOPLE CAME TO
LIGHT A CANDLE.
AND SAY A PRAYER FOR TWO LITTLE
GIRLS FOUND DEAD ON CHRISTMAS
DAY.
>> INTERVIEW: SOME PEOPLE ARE
DEEPLY MOVED AND TROUBLED.
OTHERS JUST CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT
THEY ARE HEARING ABOUT THIS
FAMILY.
THE STRUGGLES IN OUR SOCIETY
WITH VIOLENCE.
>> REPORTER: AT THE TIME OF
THEIR DEATH, AUBREY AND CHLOE
WERE STAYING WITH THEIR FATHER
AT THIS APARTMENT BUILDING.
HE AND THE GIRLS' MOTHER WERE
EMBROILED IN A CUSTODY DISPUTE.
WHEN THE CASE WENT BEFORE THE
COURT IN 2016,
BERRY OWED NEARLY $30,000 IN
CHILD SUPPORT.
DURING THE TRIAL,
THE MOTHER TESTIFIED IN 2013,
BERRY SAID HE WOULD BLOW UP THE
HOUSE IF HE DID NOT GET A BREAK
DOWN OF WHAT HAPPENED TO A CHILD
CARE BENEFIT CHEQUE.
SHE SAID HE LOOKED ANGRY AND
CRAZED.
SHE TESTIFIED THAT TWO DAYS
LATER, BERRY PINNED HER ON THE
BED.
THE POLICE WERE CALLED AND A
RESTRAINING ORDER WAS ISSUED.
BERRY WAS UNDER INVESTIGATION
TWICE BY CHILD WELFARE
AUTHORITIES.
INCLUDING ONCE AFTER HE WAS
ACCUSED OF TOUCHING ONE OF HIS
DAUGHTERS INAPPROPRIATELY.
HE SAID
HE MAY HAVE DONE THAT, HE SAID,
WHILE DRYING HER OFF AFTER A
BATH.
IN THE DECISION, THE JUSTICE
SAID...
A RELATIVE OF THE MOTHER SAID
THE DECISION WAS INFURIATING.
>> I BLAME THEM MORE
THAN ANYTHING.
>> YOU MEAN THE COURT SYSTEM?
>> YES.
HE SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT ALONE
WITH THE CHILDREN.
>> THE EXISTENCE OF A BITTER
CUSTODY BATTLE IS A RISK FACTOR
FOR SEVERE OR POTENTIAL LETHAL
VIOLENCE.
>> REPORTER: THE COUNSELLOR SAID
THERE ARE SEVERAL RED FLAGS IN
THE
COUPLE'S HISTORY.
THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE
GUIDELINES AND TRAINING FOR
JUDGES WHEN IT COMES TO
ASSESSING THE RISK OF DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE.

DRIVE, YOU LOSE YOUR CAR THAT
DAY.
BUT
IF YOU SAY YOU WILL BLOW UP THE
HOUSE AND YOU HAVE TWO KIDS
LIVING AT THE HOUSE, HOW IS IT
THAT YOU CAN HAVE CUSTODY OF THE
KIDS?

THAT WILL LIKELY BE ASKED OF THE
INVESTIGATION INTO WHAT HAPPENED
CONTINUES.
BERRY IS IN HOSPITAL INJURED.
CHARGES HAVE NOT BEEN LAID.

>> ANDREW: NOVA SCOTIA, ANOTHER
FAMILY DESTROYED BY TRAGEDY MAY
BE ONE STEP CLOSER TO GETTING
SOME ANSWERS.
THE PROVINCE'S CHIEF MEDICAL
EXAMINER ANNOUNCED AN INQUIRY
INTO A HIGH PROFILE TRIPLE
MURDER AND SUICIDE.
>> I KNOW OUR ENTIRE PROVINCE
WAS SHOCKED BY THE DEATHS OF
LIONEL DESMOND AND HIS FAMILY.
AND I HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF TIME
TO READ
AND REFLECT ON THE MATTER, I
MADE THE RECOMMENDATION TODAY TO
THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE TO CALL
FOR A FATALITY INQUIRY UNDER
SECTION 26 OF THE ACT.
>> ANDREW: AN INQUIRY OF THIS
KIND IN NOVA SCOTIA IS EXTREMELY
RARE.
THE LAST ONE WAS LAUNCHED A
DECADE AGO.
THEY ARE BROAD AND EXTENSIVE.
FOR A CASE LIKE THAT OF LIONEL
DESMOND, IT COULD HAVE NATIONAL
SIGNIFICANCE.
IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE
DESMOND'S AUNT GOT THE FATEFUL
CALL.
>> I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS HIM.
>> ANDREW: IT WAS NOT JUST HIM.
LIONEL DESMOND WHO SERVED TWO
TOURS IN AFGHANISTAN, HAD WALKED
INTO HIS TRAILER, SHOT DEAD HIS WIFE.
HIS OWN MOTHER, HIS 10-YEAR-OLD
DAUGHTER, AND THEN HIMSELF.
HIS FAMILY HAD NOTICED CHANGES
IN DESMOND SINCE HE RETURNED
FROM DUTY IN 2007.
>> RAISE AWARENESS
FOR PTSD.
>> ANDREW: FOR YEARS HE
STRUGGLED WITH PTSD AND
DEPRESSION.
>> INTERVIEW: MY BROTHER TOLD
THE HOSPITAL THAT HE WASN'T
RIGHT. THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH
HIM.
>> ANDREW: HIS SISTER SAID THE
SYSTEM KNEW EVERYTHING IT NEEDED
TO KNOW BUT DID NOT ACT UNTIL IT
WAS TOO LATE.
>> INTERVIEW: THE MENTAL HEALTH
SYSTEM OF NOVA SCOTIA, THE
GOVERNMENT, FOR OUR VETERANS
FAILED MY BROTHER.
>> ANDREW: DESMOND'S FAMILY
CALLED FOR AN INQUIRY SINCE.
AND NOW, THEY HAVE IT.
>> IT IS NOT LIKE MR. DESMOND
WAS COMPLETELY UNKNOWN AND THIS
HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE.
THERE WAS A TRAJECTORY.
THERE WAS TOUCH POINTS IN OUR
SYSTEM.
>> Andrew: TOUCH POINTS,
INCLUDING FEDERAL
PARTS OF THE SYSTEM.
LIKE VETERANS AFFAIRS.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS
SIGNALLED IT WILL COOPERATE WITH
THE INQUIRY.
WHEN THIS INQUIRY DOES
PRODUCE A REPORT, THE HOPE IS
THAT THE DESMOND FAMILY TRAGEDY
WILL LEAD TO CHANGES THAT HELP
OTHERS.
BUT
THE CLIMB IS STEEP.
WE GOT A LOOK AT NEW NUMBERS
THAT PAINT A PRETTY BLEAK
PICTURE OF
THE MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES
FACED BY CANADA'S ARMED FORCES.
A STUDY EXAMINING CANADIAN
VETERANS SHOWS THAT MEN ARE AT A
40% HIGHER RISK OF DEATH BY
SUICIDE THAN THOSE IN THE
GENERAL POPULATION.
AND ACCORDING TO ANOTHER REPORT,
253 CANADIAN VETERANS HAVE
KILLED THEMSELVES SINCE 1995.
AND ALMOST TWO-THIRDS, 64% HAD
MULTIPLE MENTAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS
FOR PTSD, ANXIETY OR DEPRESSION.
>>> LET'S MOVE TO A STORY THAT
HAS MUCH OF THE COUNTRY TALKING
TODAY. EXTREME COLD.
YOU ARE LOOKING AT THAT.

IT.

THE CITY CALLED OFF THE PARTY.
WORRYING PEOPLE WOULD GET
FROSTBITE.
WINNIPEG IS EXPECTED TO GET DOWN

IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT, I CAN,
THAT IS ACTUALLY COLDER THAN

IT GOT TO AS WARM AS -23 ON THE
RED PLANET.
THE EXTREME COLD WARNING TODAY

A VERY COLD WINTER DAY.
WE HAVE ALL THE THINGS WE NEED.
NOT EVERYBODY HAS EVERYTHING

WE ARE
GETTING CARE PACKAGES AND GIVING
THEM TO PEOPLE THAT NEED THEM
MORE THAN WE DO.

PLUNGED, CONCERNS HAVE BEEN
RAISED ABOUT TORONTO'S
OVERBURDENED HOMELESS SHELTERS.
THE TEMPORARY SHELTER THE CITY
OPENED IN A LITTLE USED
EXHIBITION BUILDING IS NOT FULLY
OPERATIONAL, THE COLD WEATHER
MEANS IT IS ALREADY FILLED TO

CAMPAIGN NEVER CONCEDED.
HE FILED A SUIT TO DELAY
CERTIFICATION OF THE RESULTS
CLAIMING VOTER FRAUD.
THAT SUIT WAS DISMISSED TODAY.
THE DEMOCRAT DOUG JONES WAS
CERTIFIED.
THAT MEANS
THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN THE
SENATE IS NOW RAZOR THIN, ONE
VOTE.
POTENTIALLY THAT HAS A PROFOUND
IMPACT ON DONALD TRUMP'S AGENDA.
THE U.S. VICE PRESIDENT HAS
ALREADY HAD THE TASK OF
TIEBREAKING VOTES SIX TIMES IN

JUST THE PAST YEAR.

MORE IN 2017 THAN CHILDREN.

UNICEF SAID THEY SUFFERED BRUTAL
VIOLENCE IN THEIR HOMES, SCHOOLS

CHILDREN ARE FRONT LINE TARGETS.
KILLED, MAIMED AND RECRUITED TO
FIGHT.

THAT THE VICTIMS WERE SHIA.
THE TALIBAN DON'T HAVE A HISTORY
OF SECTARIAN KILLING WERE QUICK
TO DENY THE KILLING.
ISIS DID TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THE ATTACK.
>> THE NARRATIVE, PERVERSE VIEW
OF THE RELIGION.
NOT REAL MUSLIMS.
THERE, IT IS A LEGITIMATE TARGET
IN THEIR EYES UNFORTUNATELY.

REPLAY OF JIHADIST STRATEGY IN
IRAQ.
WHICH AIMS TO START A WAR
BETWEEN THE TWO MAIN BRANCHES OF
ISLAM.

IT DIDN'T DESTROY THE AFGHAN

EXPANDING ELSEWHERE WITH
DANGEROUS NEW BRANCHES IN LIBYA,
AND AFGHANISTAN.
AND EGYPTIAN SINAI.

GROUPS, ISIS
ESTABLISHED A NEW FOOTHOLD THAT
WILL BE DIFFICULT TO DISLODGE.
>> Rosemary: SOME ICEIS -- ISIS
FIGHTERS
REMAIN IN IRAQ, THEY NO LONGER
CONTROL LARGE PARTS OF IT.
CHRISTIANS IN MOSUL ATTENDED
CHRISTMAS MASS FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN FOUR YEARS.
THEY SANG THE IRAQI NATIONAL
ANTHEM AND CELEBRATED THE
REBIRTH OF THEIR COUNTRY.
>>> DEREK STOFFEL WAS IN MOSUL
THIS PAST MARCH WHEN IRAQI
FORCES
AND THE ALLIES WERE RE-TAKING
THE CITY BLOCK BY BLOCK.
IN TONIGHT'S REPORTER'S
NOTEBOOK, HE
RECALLS THE RARE ACCESS TO ISIS
PRISONERS AND HOW THEIR
TREATMENT WAS TROUBLING TO
WESTERN EYES.
>> I WAS WITH THE CBC CREW IN
MOSUL COVERING THE HEIGHT OF THE
WAR AGAINST ISIS.
SO MUCH OF WHAT WE DO DEPENDS ON
THE LOCAL JOURNALISTS THAT YOU
WORK WITH.
HOW CONNECTED HE OR SHE IS.
THEIR ABILITY TO GO OUT WITH YOU
IN DANGEROUS PLACES AND THE
GUIDE WE WORKED WITH IN MOSUL
WAS CERTAINLY IN THE TOP THREE
FOR SURE.
A GREAT GUY.
WELL CONNECTED AND HE KNEW THE
COLONEL IN THE POLICE.
AND HE SORT OF --
WE WERE NEAR THE END OF THE
REPORTING TRIP AND HE SAID ONE
MORNING WHEN WE ASKED WHAT CAN
WE DO TODAY, HE SAID, HEY, GUYS,
DO YOU WANT TO
MEET SOME ISIS GUYS.
WE ARE LIKE, WOW, OF COURSE WE
DO. THEY INVITED US IN AND SAID THEY
WANTED THE WORLD MEDIA TO SEE
HOW THEY WERE GOING AFTER ISIS.
AND SO THERE WE WERE ON A SUNDAY
MORNING SITTING TALKING TO ISIS
GUYS.
ARE YOU A MEMBER OF ISIS, A
MEMBER OF DAESH?
>> REPORTER: HE TOLD US BEFORE
ISIS STORMED INTO MOSUL THREE
YEARS AGO, HE WORKED IN
CONSTRUCTION.
HE JOINED THE MILITANTS, HE
SAID, TO MAKE MONEY, TO PAY FOR
HIS SISTER'S CANCER TREATMENT.
SOON, HE FOUND HIMSELF IN
TRAINING.
IN EXERCISES SIMILAR TO THESE IN
THIS ISIS PROPAGANDA VIDEO.
THEY GAVE HIM A GUN, AN AK-47
ASSAULT RIFLE AND HE WAS A
POLICE OFFICER AT A HOSPITAL
SOUTH OF MOSUL.
IBRAHIM MAINTAINED HE NEVER ONCE
HARMED ANYONE.
BUT RECALLED ONE DAY WHEN THE
ISIS MEN SENIOR TO HIM SAW FOUR
PEOPLE TRYING TO ESCAPE MOSUL.
>> Reporter: IT IS AN INCREDIBLE
OPPORTUNITY TO SIT
THERE AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
MOTIVATES SOMEONE TO JOIN THE
MOST LETHAL TERRORIST GROUP ON
THE PLANET.
WE ALSO MET THIS MAN.
THE 25-YEAR-OLD SAID HE WAS AN
ELECTRICIAN BEFORE ISIS CAME TO
MOSUL.
HIS REASON FOR JOINING THE
MILITANTS ALSO TO MAKE MONEY TO
HELP A SICK RELATIVE.
ARE YOU A MEMBER OF ISIS?
HE SAID HE WORKED AS A COOK IN A
HOUSE WHERE FIVE ISIS FIGHTERS
LIVED.
HE IS MUCH MORE UNCOOPERATIVE.
SAYING HE DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.
DO ANYTHING THAT HARMED ANYONE.
IN THE TWO YEARS HE WAS WITH
ISIS.
SO THE POLICE BOSS STEPS IN.
THE MAJOR ACCUSES HIM OF LYING.
AND SEARCHES FOR MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT HIS ARREST.
THEN IT GETS TENSE.
THE MAJOR ASKS US TO STOP
RECORDING.
>> TURN IT OFF.
>> REPORTER: WITH THE CAMERA
OFF, THE OFFICER KICKS SALEM IN
THE HEAD AND SLAPS HIM.
AT THAT POINT, IT IS
UNCOMFORTABLE TO SAY THE LEAST
TO SEE SOMEONE TREATED THAT WAY
IN CUSTODY.
THEY HAVE THEIR HANDS BOUND,
THE PRISONERS WERE BLINDFOLDED.
IT IS A STRANGE SITUATION TO SAY
THE LEAST.
IN MY EXPERIENCE HERE IN THE
MIDDLE EAST, YOU KNOW, POLICING,
LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATES
DIFFERENTLY THAN IT WOULD IN
CANADA OR IN THE WESTERN WORLD.
AND THESE POLICE OFFICERS, THE
COLONELS CERTAINLY FEEL IT IS
WITHIN THEIR RIGHTS, I THINK THE
OFFICER PUT IT TO ME BACK THEN,
THESE ARE THE SCUM OF THE EARTH
AND THAT'S HOW THEY WILL BE
TREATED.
TELL THE TRUTH, HE SHOUTS.
EVEN IF THEY FIRE ME, I WILL
KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T TELL THE
TRUTH.
THE POLICE MAKE NO APOLOGIES AND
THAT IS SORT OF THE THING THAT
AS A WESTERN JOURNALIST WORKING
OVER HERE YOU HAVE TO BE OPEN TO
THE FACT THAT THIS IS NOT
CANADA.
AND DIFFERENT RULES SOMETIMES
APPLY.
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU -- IN THE
ENDS. MOSUL FOUND SUPPORT FROM THE
LOCALS.
AFTER THREE YEARS LIVING UNDER
THE BRUTALITY OF THE JIHADISTS,
DISMAYED RESIDENTS AWAIT THEIR
LIBERATION.
AND THOSE WHO JOINED WITH THE
MILITANTS AWAIT THEIR FATE.

BEST AND SOME OF THE WORST
POLITICAL MOMENTS OF 2017.
WITH "AT ISSUE."
ANDR
[*]
>> ROSEMARY: IT HAS BEEN QUITE
THE YEAR WHEN IT STARTED.
DONALD TRUMP,
HAD YET TO BE SWORN IN AS THE
U.S. PRESIDENT.
THE SHINE WAS ON JUSTIN
TRUDEAU'S YEAR OLD LIBERAL
GOVERNMENT.
THE CONSERVATIVES AND THE N.D.P.
LACKED A PERMANENT LEADER.
NOW, EVERYTHING CHANGED.
WE HAVE ANDREW SCHEER AND
JAGMEET SINGH, MAKING TRUDEAU
THE OLDEST OF THE THREE MAJOR
PARTY LEADERS.
DONALD TRUMP IS IN THE WHITE
HOUSE. NAFTA MAY BE IN JEOPARDY.
THE LIBERALS HAVE MORE THAN ONE
CABINET MINISTER UNDER FIRE.
HERE TO MAKE SOME SENSE OF 2017
AND POLITICS, THE AT ISSUE PANEL
TOGETHER AT LAST.
CHANTAL, YOU ARE IN TORONTO.
ANDREW, ALTHIA AND CHANTAL.
WE ASKED YOU GUYS TO COME UP
WITH THE
BEST AND WORST MOMENTS AND OTHER
THINGS OF 2017.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT EACH WILL
SAY.
IT WILL BE A SURPRISE FOR YOU.
CHANTAL, THE BEST M.P.?
CABINET MINISTER.
>> I PICKED CHRYSTIA FREELAND.
I THINK
SHE HAS BEEN GIVING A STRONG AND
STEADY PERFORMANCE IN A REALLY
HARD PORTFOLIO.
CLEARLY A HARD WORKING FOREIGN
AFFAIRS MINISTER AT A TIME WHEN
YOU ACTUALLY REQUIRE ONE.
IF YOU COMPARE HER TO SOMEONE
ELSE WHO HAS NEVER BEEN IN
POLITICS AND HAD A PORTFOLIO,
BILL MORNEAU, THE SENIOR
PORTFOLIO, YOU CAN SEE THE
PERFORMANCE TRACK IS QUITE
DIFFERENT.
>> WE DID A GOOD JOB OF
HIGHLIGHTING CHRYSTIA FREELAND.
HE DID A BETTER JOB AS THE
SECRETARY TO THE FINANCE
MINISTER.
HE DID A BETTER JOB TO DEFEND
BILL MORNEAU.
>> JANE PHILPOTT.
IN THE WAY SHE HELD THE MEDIA
AND DIFFICULT FILES AND
SHE WAS PUT INTO THE INDIGENOUS
SERVICES FILE.
>> Rosemary: YOU WENT TO CABINET
MINISTER WITHOUT ASKING, GO
AHEAD, ANDREW.
>> BILL MORNEAU.
THERE ARE WORST CABINET
MINISTERS AND THERE ARE PEOPLE
WHO SHOULD NOT BE IN THE
CABINET.
THIS IS THE FINANCE MINISTER.
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO
HANDLE WHAT IS THROWN AT YOU.
PARTICULARLY ON THE SMALL
BUSINESS TAX CHANGES, YOU CAN
DEBATE THE MERITS OF THIS.
VERY POORLY PRESENTED AND THEN
ALL THIS AROUND HIS HOLDINGS
WHICH HE OR SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE
SEEN COMING.
>> ROSEMARY: I WILL PLAY THE
CLIP THAT EVERYBODY REMEMBERS
WHEN OBVIOUSLY THE PRIME
MINISTER WOULD HAVE HAD ENOUGH
OF IT.
>> THIS IS FOR MR. MORNEAU.
-- MINISTER MORNEAU.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: I WILL TAKE IT.
YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHAT
WITH THE PRIME MINISTER.
>> I HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR.
MORNEAU DIRECTLY.
WOULD HE BE ABLE TO ANSWER ONE.
>> PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN
TRUDEAU: YOU HAVE TO ASK THE
QUESTION OF ME FIRST.
YOU GET A CHANCE TO TALK TO THE
PRIME MINISTER.
>> ROSEMARY: I MEAN, THAT DIDN'T
SHOW THE PRIME MINISTER IN A
GOOD LIGHT EITHER.
IT WAS A TELLING MOMENT.
>> I DON'T THINK I HAVE SEEN A
SCENE LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY
INVOLVING A FINANCE MINISTER.
I DIDN'T PICK MORNEAU AS THE
WORST.
BECAUSE ON POLICY, I DON'T THINK
HE WAS THE WORST.
I THINK MELANIE JOLY WINS THAT
ONE, FOR A CULTURAL POLICY THAT
WAS NOT ONE AND A FISCAL POLICY
THAT WAS NOT ONE.
THE NETFLIX DEAL.
NOT ONLY WAS POORLY PRESENTED
AND POORLY ARGUED, BUT IT IS
HARD TO DEFEND.
THE NOTION THAT -- YOU WOULD
NEED TO COLLECT THE GST.
THE REST OF WHOEVER IS DOING
BUSINESS IN CANADA, INCLUDING
SMALL BUSINESSES, PEOPLE WHO
FREELANCE, WOULD HAVE TO -- THAT
IS MIND BOGGLING.
>> ROSEMARY: PEOPLE DO NOT
REALIZE THE DAMAGE -- SHE HAS
BEEN DEEPLY DAMAGED IN QUEBEC.
MAYBE NOT IN THE SAME WAY IN THE
REST OF THE COUNTRY.
BUT CERTAINLY
INSIDE QUEBEC.
THE WORST?
>> KEN HEHR.
I THINK BILL MORNEAU PROBABLY,
KEN HEHR,
INSENSITIVITY HE HAS SHOWN TO
DEALING WITH THE PEOPLE THAT
HAVE COME TO HIS OFFICE IS MIND
BOGGLING.
IF HE WASN'T AN M.P. FROM
CALGARY, HE WOULD NOT BE IN
CABINET.
>> ROSEMARY: BEST POLITICAL
MOVE.
LET'S START WITH YOU.
>> APPOINTING CHRYSTIA FREELAND.
I CANNOT
IMAGINE WHAT THE GOVERNMENT'S
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TRUMP
WHITE HOUSE WOULD BE IF STEFAN
DION WAS THE MINISTER.
THAT WAS THE BEST MOVE.
>> THE B.C. GREEN N.D.P.,
PUTTING TOGETHER AN AGREEMENT TO
SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT.
NOT AS EASY AS IT SOUNDS.
I KNOW PEOPLE THEY ARE
NATURAL...
IT REQUIRES THE GREENS TO
BASICALLY SIGN ON TO PARTY LINE
VOTING.
THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS GREENS
ARE MOST AGAINST.
EVERYBODY HAD TO MAKE
SACRIFICES.
AND DIFFICULT CHOICES.
IT SHOWS IT CAN BE DONE.
>> ROSEMARY: DO YOU THINK IT IS
AS STABLE AS WE THOUGHT IT WAS
GIVEN THE DECISION ON SITE C.
>> IT IS LESS UNSTABLE.
A LOT OF US, INCLUDING ME,
THOUGHT IT WOULD LAST FOR WEEKS.
THERE IS A LOT OF TENSION WITH
SITE-C.
WE WILL SEE.
>> I THINK THEY WILL SURVIVE
UNTIL THEY DO THE PLEBISCITE
ON CHANGING THE VOTING SYSTEM.
I PICKED SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF
PREMIERS DISLIKE, THE DECISION
OF THE LIBERALS
TO PUT A DEADLINE ON THE PLAN TO
LEGALIZE MARIJUANA.
>> ROSEMARY: THE BEST.
>> THE BEST MOVE.
I THINK ABSENT THAT DEADLINE AND
THE FEELING IT IS A FIRM
DEADLINE,
PROVINCES WOULD DRAG THE FEET
AND THERE WOULD ALWAYS BE A
REASON TO
POSTPONE AND NOT DO THIS AND
THAT. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS GOING
IS FOR EVERYONE TO SIT DOWN AND
SAY, WE WILL HAVE TO GET THIS
DONE.
THEY MANAGED TO CONVINCE THE
PROVINCES THEY WERE SERIOUS
ABOUT JULY.
WHETHER THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN
JULY, MOST PROVINCES ARE NOW
ORGANIZED AND I AM SURE THE
CONSERVATIVES --
THE PROVINCES WILL SAY WAIT A
MINUTE, WE HAVE ALL THIS
ORGANIZED, AND NOW, UNCERTAINTY
IS THE WORST ENEMY THAN THE
DEADLINE.
THERE WILL BE PRESSURE FROM THE
INDUSTRY AND FROM THE PROVINCIAL
PLAYERS TO SAY WE CANNOT PLAY
MAYBE, MAYBE NOT NOW THAT WE
GEARED UP FOR THIS.
>> Rosemary: LET'S DO WORST
POLITICAL
MOVE. >> THE SMALL BUSINESS TAX
CHANGES MADE.
THE BIGGEST STORY IN THE LAST
HALF OF THE YEAR.
THE LEGITIMATE ISSUE THEY ARE
TRYING TO ADDRESS WAS THEY DID
IT IN THE MOST CONVOLUTED WAY.
THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN IT.
THEY WAITED A LONG TIME.
THE OPPOSITION BUILT.
WHEN THEY TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT,
THE WHOLE THING BLEW UP IN THEIR
FACES WITH THEIR PRIVATE
CORPORATIONS.
IT GAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
OPPOSITION, IT GAVE THEM AN
EXCUSE TO START TALKING
ABOUT JUSTIN TRUDEAU'S PERSONAL
WEALTH IN A WAY THAT WOULD
OTHERWISE LOOK VERY PERSONAL.
BUT IN THIS CASE, IT MADE THE
LIBERALS LOOK HYPOCRITICAL.
>> ROSEMARY: YOU ALL AGREE?
>> PARTS...
>> Rosemary: I WILL SKIP AHEAD
TO BEST
OPPOSITION M.P.
I WILL PLAY THE CLIP FIRST AND
THIS IS WHERE THEY ALL ALSO
AGREE.
>> ORAL QUESTIONS.
THE HONOURABLE MEMBER FOR
CALGARY.
>> MINISTERS ARE BANNED FROM
OWNING STOCKS.
THAT IS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT
THEM TO USE THEIR POWER TO HELP
THE COMPANIES THEY OWN OR INSIDE
INFORMATION TO UNDULY PROFIT.
WHEN WILL THIS PRIME MINISTER DO
THE RIGHT THING AND FIRE THIS
INCOMPETENT MINISTER WHO CAN'T
FOLLOW THE RULES?
>>> I AM CONFIDENT THAT
EVERYTHING I SAID OUT THERE AND
IN HERE IS TRUE.
WOULD HE COMMIT IF I GO OUT AND
REPEAT MY QUESTION IN THE LOBBY
AT THIS MOMENT, THE FINANCE
MINISTER WILL MEET ME THERE AND
ANSWER THE QUESTION.
>> I WAS IN QUESTION PERIOD THAT
DAY.
IT WAS ONE OF THE RARE DAYS.
IT WAS A PRETTY SMOOTH MOVE.
YOU CAN LIKE OR DISLIKE HIM, BUT
THAT WAS EFFECTIVE.
YOU THINK HE IS THE BEST?
>> I AM SURPRISED.
WHAT DOES THAT TELL US?
I THINK CANADIANS HAVE AN
IMPRESSION OF HIM.
HE HAS GIVEN -- A NEW FACELIFT.
HE IS NOT THE GUY STANDING UP
AND DEFENDING THE SO-CALLED
UNFAIR ELECTIONS ACT.
HE HAS SURE MATURENESS.
THERE IS A NEW PIERRE POILIEVRE.
ANDREW SCHEER WHO WORKED WITH
HIM IN THE 2000s WHEN YOUNG
STAFFERS WITH THE ALLIANCE, HE
SAID -- HE
SURPRISED A LOT OF PEOPLE.
HE BELIEVED THE MAN HAD WHAT IT
TOOK AND -- DID NOT HAVE THE
PUBLIC ATTENTION THAT HE SHOULD
HAVE HAD.
>> I WILL NOT ENDORSE -- I HAD
HIM AS THE WORST OPPOSITION M.P.
THAT SCENE YOU SHOWED WAS GOOD
THEATRE.
IT SOURED AND POISONED THE WELLS
FOR THE CONSERVATIVES BECAUSE IT
WAS AFTER THAT THAT THE MEDIA,
THE "GLOBE & MAIL" STARTED TO
WRITE TO SAY WAIT A MINUTE, THIS
IS NOT JUSTIFIED.
AND I THINK THE PROBLEM WITH
POILIEVRE IS WHETHER HE IS ON
THE GAME, HE
IS A GOOD PERFORMER.
HE IS VERY GOOD ON THE ATTACK.
HE DOESN'T KNOW WHEN TO STOP OR
THE LEADER DOESN'T KNOW WHEN TO
REIN HIM IN.
>> YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE
DIGNITY.
THE VERY ANNOYING QUALITY IS
PERFECT FOR OPPOSITION.
YOUR JOB IS TO GET UNDER THE
GOVERNMENT'S SKIN.
I WAS ONE OF THOSE WHO WAS
SKEPTICAL OF THE APPOINTMENT.
HE HAS SHOWN HE IS GOOD AT THIS.
>> LESS ATTACK DOG...
IN THIS JOB THAN DEFENDING...
>> ROSEMARY: MOST SURPRISING
POLITICAL MOMENT OF THE YEAR, I
AM GOING TO START WITH YOU,
CHANTAL.
>> THE ELECTION OF VALERI
PLANTE.
THE DEFEAT OF DENIS CODERRE.
NOBODY A MONTH BEFORE IT
HAPPENED IT WAS POSSIBLE.
PROBABLY, DENNIS CODERRE DID NOT
SEE IT HAPPENING.
IT IS A REMINDER TO INCUMBENTS,
YOU CAN BE DEFEATED AND IF YOU
DON'T BOTHER TO CAMPAIGN, YOU
LOSE TOUCH
WITH PEOPLE, THAT IS WHAT
HAPPENED, YOU START TO THINK I
AM ME.
HE THOUGHT HE CO-OPED ALL THE
OPPONENTS TO RUN WITH HIM.
>> ANDREW SCHEER WINNING THE
CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP.
MAXIME
BERNIER WAS THE FAVOURITE UNTIL
A WEEK BEFORE.
HE THOUGHT HE HAD IT IN THE BAG.
HE HAD THE STRANGE SPEECH.
SOME OF HIS HANDLERS MADE
STATEMENTS AND GOT OUT FRONT.
IT WAS A CLOSE RACE IN THE END,
YOU DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT
COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO --
VOTERS VOTED IN THE LAST DAYS.
>> ROSEMARY: I WANT TO PLAY THE
CLIP IF I CAN OF THE FELLOW THAT
SHE THINKS WAS THE MOST
SURPRISING PART OF 2017.
IT WAS INTERESTING.
HERE IS THE CLIP.
>> IT WOULD SEEM FOOLISH, EVEN
SELFISH TO WIN THE LEADERSHIP
KNOWING I DIDN'T HAVE A CLEAR
PATH OR HIGH PROBABILITY.
>> WHY NOT THE HIGH PROBABILITY.
>> IF YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY
AND I AM A NUMBERS GUY, AND I
WENT BACK AND I LOOKED AT EVEN
THE DETAILS OF 2011 HARPER
VICTORY HOW THAT OCCURRED WAS SO
FEW SEATS.
BECAUSE
THE LIKELIHOOD OF ME OF GAINING
A LOT OF SEATS IN QUEBEC WAS
LOW.
>> Rosemary: REMEMBER HIM?
>> WE WERE LIKE, OH, MY
GOODNESS, THAT HAPPENED.
>> Rosemary: I KNOW.
>> HE TOLD EVERYBODY HE WOULD
WIN
EASILY AND THEN BOWED OUT.
AND ENDORSED MAXIME BERNIER WHO
WENT ON TO LOSE.
IT DAWNS ON ME I CAN'T WIN
QUEBEC.
ANYWAY.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE
KNOWN BETTER TO TAKE HIS DIME.
THEY SHOULD JUST COVER THEIR
HEAD IN SHAME, FRANKLY.
>> ROSEMARY: MY LAST QUESTION
WAS NOT ON THE LIST.
WHERE DO YOU THINK WE ARE AFTER
ANOTHER YEAR OF THE TRUDEAU
GOVERNMENT?
AND NOT WHERE WE ARE GOING.
WHERE ARE WE IN TERMS OF WHERE
THINGS STAND?
>> IN TERMS OF THE POPULARITY OF
THE GOVERNMENT?
>> ROSEMARY: YEAH, HOW THEY ARE
DOING WITH THE AGENDA.
>> YOU KNOW, I THINK SOMETIMES
THESE DON'T SHOW UP IN THE POLLS
UNTIL LATER.
THE TOP LINE NUMBERS, THEY LOST
SOME FROM WHERE THEY WERE.
THEY HAVE COME BACK FROM LAST
FALL.
I SUSPECT, YOU CAN SEE THIS ON
APPROVAL NUMBERS OF TRUDEAU, YOU
SEE IT ON THE POLSTER QUESTIONS
LIKE DOES HE CARE ABOUT PEOPLE
LIKE ME AND IS HE TRUSTWORTHY?
I THINK THERE IS DAMAGE ON THAT.
YOU KNOW, THE CYNICISM AND THE
BROKEN PROMISES, IT IS FAR FROM
FATAL, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY
ARE IN THE SAME PLACE A YEAR OR
TWO AGO.
>> Rosemary: I THINK YOU ARE
RIGHT. IT TAKES A LONG
TIME TO PENETRATE OUT OF OTTAWA.
CHANTAL?
>> WHEN YOU TALK TO PEOPLE ON
BALANCE, THEY ARE NOT AS SEVERE
IN THEIR JUDGMENT OF THE
GOVERNMENT AS WHAT COMES OUT OF
PARLIAMENT HILL.
IN THE END,
YOU CANNOT DISCARD THE FACT THIS
IS A GOVERNMENT THAT FINISHED
THE YEAR BY WINNING SEATS THEY
HAD NOT HAD FOR DECADES.
AND THESE ARE REAL VOTERS WHO
VOTED.
THE OPPOSITION PARTIES HAD
TESTED LEADERS.
THEY WROTE TESTED LINES.
THE CONSERVATIVES IN PARTICULAR.
AND THE LIBERALS DID NOT WIN
NARROWLY.
THEY WON COMFORTABLY.
TO FINISH THE YEAR BY SAYING
THEY ARE ON THE WAY DOWN,
IT IS NOT SHOWING IN THE REAL
WORLD, NOT THE POLLS.
WHEN PEOPLE GO AND VOTE.
>> I THINK THE RISK TO THE
GOVERNMENT IS SORT OF A SMUGNESS
THAT SETS IN A LITTLE BIT.
THE STUFF THEY SAID THEY WOULD
DO ON THE BALANCE, THEY HAVE
STARTED TO DO.
POT, INFRASTRUCTURE, CPP, THE
CARBON PRICING, BUT ON SOME KEY
THINGS, ELECTORAL REFORM, THEY
HAVE DROPPED THE BALL.
PEOPLE ARE GENERALLY HAPPY.
WE SAW THAT, ESPECIALLY IN
SURREY AND ST. JOHN'S.
BUT
TOWARD THE LAST WEEKS OF THE
GOVERNMENT, YOU SAW THE SMIRK
APPEAR ON THE PRIME MINISTER'S
FACE AND THE SMUGNESS AROUND
BILL MORNEAU AND THE REFUSAL TO
BASICALLY JUST
APOLOGIZE TO CANADIANS AND SAY
IN HINDSIGHT, I SHOULD NOT HAVE
DONE THAT.
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO DO THAT?
THAT IS THE STUFF THAT KIND OF
CREEPS INTO THE GOVERNMENT
ETHICS.
>> Rosemary: GOOD YEAR IN
REVIEW.
THANK YOU.
AND GOOD NEWS FOR YOU POLITICAL
NERDS AND PEOPLE WHO LIKE
POLITICS LIKE US, THE MOST
WATCHED POLITICAL PANEL IS A
POD CAST, IF YOU WANT TO HEAR
CHANTAL, ALTHIA AND ANDREW, LOOK
FOR IT ON ITUNES.
ON OUR WEBSITE/THENATIONAL.
>> Andrew: LET'S TAKE YOU DOWN
SOUTH,
AND PERHAPS GIVE POLITICIANS A
CHANCE TO FIRE BACK.
IN THE FIRST 342 DAYS IN OFFICE,
DONALD TRUMP WORKED HARD TO
UNDERMINE THE MEDIA.
THINK OF THE ACCUSATIONS OF FAKE
NEWS.
WHERE HAS THAT LEFT JOURNALISTS?
PAUL HUNTER'S REPORTER'S
NOTEBOOK IS NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL."
>> IN MY OPINION, YOU DO YOUR
JOB.
RIGHT. YOU REPORT FACTS.
YOU COUNTER THINGS THAT ARE SAID
THAT ARE NOT TRUE WITH THE
TRUTH.
>> President Donald Trump:
INCLUDING THE [INDISCERNIBLE] WE
BROKE THAT RECORD.
>> ANDREW: ACCORDING TO DONALD
TRUMP, 2017 IS A SUCCESSFUL
YEAR.
HE SIGNED A NUMBER OF EXECUTIVE
ORDERS AND ROLLED BACK
A NUMBER OF
REGULATIONS.
BUT ACCORDING TO A WEBSITE THAT
TRACKS LEGISLATION IN CONGRESS,
TRUMP SIGNED JUST 94 BILLS INTO
LAW DURING HIS FIRST 336 DAYS IN
OFFICE.
THAT IS ACTUALLY FEWER THAN ANY
PRESIDENT DATING BACK TO DWIGHT
EISENHOWER.
GOING BACK MORE THAN HALF A
CENTURY.
IT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING.
BUT IT GOES TO SHOW YOU HOW
VIGILANT JOURNALISTS HAVE TO BE
IN THE TRUMP ERA.
PAUL HUNTER TELLS US WHAT
COVERING THE WHITE HOUSE HAS
BECOME IN THIS REPORTER'S
NOTEBOOK.
>> USA!
>> REPORTER: COVERING DONALD
TRUMP IS, IT IS CHALLENGING.
RIGHT. IT IS HARD.
IT IS FASCINATING.
IT IS AMAZING.
I WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR THE
WORLD.
BUT IT IS COMPLICATED.
>> DONALD JOHN TRUMP.
>> REPORTER: WE HAD A GREAT SEAT
FOR THE INAUGURATION.
IT WAS RIGHT ON THE STEPS OF THE
CAPITOL BUILDING.
WE WERE LIKE LITERALLY, I DON'T
KNOW, 50 METRES FROM WHERE
DONALD TRUMP PUT HIS HAND ON THE
BIBLE TO TAKE THE OATH OF
OFFICE.
>> I DONALD JOHN TRUMP DO
SOLEMNLY SWEAR...
>> REPORTER: THAT MORNING, I WAS
STANDING THERE, YOU KNOW,
WATCHING PEOPLE GET READY FOR
IT, AND I LOOKED OUT TO THE
NATIONAL MALL, LOOKING AT THE
CROWD.
AND I HAD BEEN ON THE NATIONAL
MALL IN 2008 FOR THE FIRST
INAUGURATION OF BARAK OBAMA,
THE
HISTORIC INAUGURATION.
PACKED WITH PEOPLE.
TAKE A
LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THE CROWD.
ASK BY FAR, IT IS NOT SO BIG.
AND THEN THE NEXT DAY, I AM AT
HOME WATCHING ON TV.
AND THERE,
SEAN SPICER WALKS OUT...
>> THIS WAS THE LARGEST AUDIENCE
TO EVER WITNESS AN INAUGURATION
PERIOD.
BOTH IN PERSON AND AROUND THE
GLOBE.
>> REPORTER: I AM THINKING, IT
IS NOT TRUE.
IT IS FALSE.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
AND IT IS LIKE,
THIS IS THE FIRST FULL DAY OF
THE ADMINISTRATION.
IT IS STARTING OUT ON THIS.
YOU WILL COME OUT HERE AND SAY
SOMETHING THAT IS NOT TRUE?
LIKE, WHERE IS THIS GOING?
AND THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF
IT.
>> PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: YOU
ARE FAKE NEWS.
>> FAKE NEWS.
YOU ARE FAKE NEWS.
>> WE ARE FIGHTING THE FAKE
NEWS.
>> Reporter: EVERY TIME DONALD
TRUMP TALKS ABOUT FAKE NEWS, IT
IS SUCCESSFUL
IN CHIPPING AWAY AT THE
INTEGRITY AND VALUE AND POWER IF
I CAN PUT IT THAT WAY OF
JOURNALISM IN THIS COUNTRY.
>> PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: ALL I
CAN SAY IT IS TOTALLY FAKE NEWS.
JUST FAKE.
IT IS FAKE, IT IS MADE UP STUFF.
>> REPORTER: SO WHAT CAN
JOURNALISTS DO?
IN MY OPINION, YOU DO YOUR JOB.
RIGHT.
YOU REPORT FACTS.
YOU COUNTER THINGS THAT ARE SAID
THAT ARE NOT TRUE WITH THE TRUTH.
YOU SUPPORT WHAT YOU ARE
REPORTING.
>> IF YOU THOUGHT THINGS COULD
NOT GET MORE COMPLICATED FOR
DONALD TRUMP, CONSIDER CAPITOL
HILL TODAY, AND THE ACTING
DIRECTOR OF THE F.B.I. ANDREW
MCCABE.
>> SIMPLY PUT, SIR, YOU CANNOT
STOP THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE
F.B.I. FROM DOING THE RIGHT
THING.
>> REPORTER: MCCABE STEPPED IN
FOR JAMES COMEY, STUNNINGLY
FIRED BY TRUMP TWO DAYS AGO.
TODAY, MCCABE SAT DOWN BEFORE
THE U.S. SENATORS AND DIRECTLY
CONTRADICTED A STRING OF
POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE WHITE
HOUSE ON THE COMEY TURMOIL.
ON THE WHITE HOUSE VIEW, COMEY
HAD
LOST THE BACKING OF THE F.B.I.
RANK AND FILES, SAID MCCABE
TODAY, NO SIR, THAT IS NOT
ACCURATE.
>> REPORTER: ONE OF THE STORIES
I THINK
I REMEMBER FROM THE YEAR WAS THE
HEALTH CARE DEBATE AGAIN IN THE
COUNTRY.
AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT
OBAMACARE WAS KIND OF -- IT
SEEMED AS IF IT WAS GOING TO BE
FALLING APART.
AND, YOU KNOW, TRUMP CARE WAS
GOING TO COME IN.
WHATEVER THAT WAS.
>> PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP:
OBAMACARE HAS BEEN A COMPLETE
AND TOTAL CATASTROPHE AND IT IS
GETTING WORSE AND WORSE BY THE
DAY.
YET, YOU WATCH THE FAKE MEDIA,
THE FAKE NEWS AND THEY TRY TO
BUILD IT UP.
IT IS A DISASTER.
IT IS A DISASTER.
>> REPORTER: SO WE WENT TO
KENTUCKY.
TRUMP COUNTRY.
WE MET SOME PEOPLE WHO HAD VOTED
FOR TRUMP, LOVED DONALD TRUMP,
WHO HATED HILLARY CLINTON.
WHO WOULD VOTE FOR TRUMP AGAIN.
AND THEY WERE VERY SICK.
BLACK LUNGS, THEY WERE IN THE
COAL INDUSTRY.
THEY WERE TERRIFIED THEY WERE
GOING TO LOSE THEIR HEALTH
COVERAGE.
THE TAYLORS ARE ON $6,000 A
MONTH WORTH OF MEDICATION.
NEARLY TRIPLE THEIR MONTHLY
INCOME.
BUT PAID FOR BY THE HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM TRUMP LABELS A
CATASTROPHE.
DID YOU VOTE FOR OBAMA?
>> NO.
DID I VOTE FOR HILLARY?
MOST DEFINITELY NOT.
DID I VOTE FOR TRUMP?
YEP.
>> REPORTER: NOW, THEY WANT
TRUMP TO KNOW THEY LIKE HIM BUT
THEY LIKE AND NEED OBAMACARE.
LIKE SOME 24 MILLION AMERICANS,
IF TRUMP CARE WERE TO PASS, THEY
RISK LOSING THEIR HEALTH
INSURANCE.
THAT IS A LOT OF VOTERS.
>> THIS IS NOT A YEAR, THIS IS
NOT TWO YEARS, THIS IS A MONTH,
IT COSTS $6,000.
THERE IS NO WAY IN THIS SIDE OF
GOD'S HEAVEN WE CAN PAY THAT.
>> Reporter: I THINK THE COUNTRY
IS EXHAUSTED IN A LOT OF WAYS
AND FEARFUL.
>> IT IS TIME WE STAND UP.
>> REPORTER: THE BREAKING POINT
MAY COME.
PEOPLE WILL PROTEST, RALLY
AGAINST TRUMP AS THEY HAVE, BUT
FOR ME, I THINK, ONE OF HIS
LEGACIES WILL BE THAT HE IS A
REMINDER THAT AMERICA IS A
POLITICALLY DIVIDED COUNTRY.
AND WE OUGHT NOT FORGET THAT.
>> ANDREW: TO GO DEEPER ON THE
STORIES IN THE DAY, EARLIER IN
THE DAY, SUBSCRIBE TO OUR
NEWSLETTER.

(*)
>> Andrew: ON "THE NATIONAL"
TONIGHT, APPLE IS DOING DAMAGE
CONTROL.
IT'S APOLOGIZING FOR SLOWING
DOWN THE PERFORMANCE OF OLDER
iPHONES WITHOUT CUSTOMERS
KNOWING ABOUT IT.
MANY SAW IT AS APPLE'S WAY OF
FORCING PEOPLE TO UPGRADE, BUT
THE COMPANY SAYS SLOWING DOWN
OLDER PHONES WITH AGING BAT
BATTERIES WAS A WAY TO REDUCE
SHUTDOWNS.
IT WOULD REDUCE THE PRICE OF
REPLACEMENT BATTERIES FOR SOME
PHONES.
>> A WARNING FOR ANYONE WHO
SHOPPED AT CLAIRES.
THEY HAVE PULLED MAKEUP PRODUCTS
FROM STORE SHELVES AFTER AN
AMERICAN FAMILY SAID THEY FOUND
ASBESTOS IN MORE THAN A DOZEN
MAKEUP SETS.
CLAIRES SAYS THEY'RE CONDUCTING
THEIR OWN TESTS BUT IT'S STOPPED
SALES
OF SEVERAL PRODUCTS INCLUDING
FROM STORES IN CANADA AND HEALTH
CANADA SAYS THEY'RE MONITORING
THE SITUATION.
>> Rosemary: IT COULD HAVE
BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IF NOT
FOR A PASSENGER.
A BUS DRIVER PASSED OUT AT THE
WE'LL ON CANADA'S BUSIEST
HIGHWAY AND WE FOUND ONE PERSON
ON THAT BUS AND HIS STORY IS OUR
"MOMENT OF THE DAY."
>> Interview: THERE WAS A BIT
OF A COMMOTION AT THE FRONT OF
THE BUS AND A NUMBER OF PEOPLE
SAT UP AND A BUNCH OF PEOPLE
TURNED AROUND AND ANYONE YELLED,
CAN ANYONE DRIVE A BUS?
THE BUS DRIVER ACTUALLY HUNCHED
OVER AND BASICALLY PASSED OUT AT
THE WHEEL AND IF HE HAD STOMPED
ON THE GAS WHEN HE PASSED OUT, I
MEAN, WHO KNOWS.
WE COULD HAVE BEEN A WRECKING
BALL IN YORKDALE RUSH HOUR.
WE DIDN'T REALIZE AND WE THOUGHT
THAT THE BUS DRIVER HAD MANAGED
TO GET IT OVER UNTIL THE POLICE
OFFICER ACTUALLY CAME ON THE BUS
AND BASICALLY MADE AN
ANNOUNCEMENT THAT WE SHOULD ALL
THANK THIS WOMAN BECAUSE SHE WAS
THE ONE WHO ACTUALLY MANAGED TO
GET THE BUS OVER TO THE SIDE.
SO WE ALL GAVE HER A GOOD ROUND
OF APPLAUSE FOR SURE.
IF SHE'S WATCHING, THANK YOU
VERY MUCH.
HONESTLY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A
LOT WORSE.
>> Rosemary: WE DON'T KNOW WHO
THE WOMAN IS, HER NAME IS
REBECCA, BUT THE DRIVER IS IN
HOSPITAL IN STABLE CONDITION
RIGHT NOW, ANDREW.
>> Andrew: I UNDERSTAND FROM
TWITTER THAT THERE'S A NUMBER OF
PEOPLE REQUESTING REFUNDS,
PEOPLE ON THAT BUS, BUT I THINK
THAT EVERYTHING ENDED AS WELL AS
IT DID.
>> Rosemary: YOUR LIFE IS
PROBABLY GOOD ENOUGH.
THANKS, EVERYBODY, THAT'S "THE
NATIONAL" FOR DECEMBER 28th.
GOODNIGHT.
>> Andrew: GOODNIGHT.
