>> Andrew: ON THIS FRIDAY NIGHT,
DOUG FORD DROPS A BOMB ON
TORONTO POLITICS AND LEAVES THE
MAYOR FUMING.
HIS SUDDEN DECISION TO SLASH
TORONTO CITY COUNCIL ALMOST IN
HALF THREE MONTHS BEFORE VOTING
DAY IS THE LATEST CONTROVERSIAL
MOVE FROM THE NEW PREMIER.
HOW MUCH HAS ONTARIO CHANGED IN
JUST 28 SHORT DAYS?
ALSO TONIGHT, THE EXPLOSIVE
CALIFORNIA WILDFIRE TAKING DOWN
EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH AND THE
CHAOTIC RUSH TO GET TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT OF
HARM'S WAY.
PLUS, HE SAW HIS GIRLFRIEND
GUNNED DOWN, THEIR LIVES CHANGED
FOREVER.
TONIGHT WE GO BACK TO THE
DANFORTH.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL".
>> Andrew: ONTARIO'S NEW PREMIER
WAS ONCE A SINGLE TERM CITY
COUNCILLOR IN TORONTO AND TODAY,
DOUG FORD MADE IT VERY CLEAR
WHAT HE THINKS OF HIS FORMER
COLLEAGUES.
>> PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF WATCHING
CITY HALL, IT'S LIKE A COMEDY
SHOW DOWN AT CITY HALL, THEY GO
AROUND AND AROUND, NOTHING GETS
DONE.
>> Andrew: FORD'S PLAN TO CHANGE
THAT, CUT DOWN THE NUMBER OF
COUNCILLORS.
THE RANKS WERE ACTUALLY DUE TO
GROW FROM 44 TO 47.
INSTEAD THEY'LL DROP BY ALMOST
HALF, TO 25.
THAT'S 20 ODD SEATS GONE.
THEIR WARD BOUNDARIES OVERHAULED
TO ALIGN WITH FEDERAL RIDINGS.
DOWNTOWN CORE COULD SEE THE MOST
CHANGE.
THINK ABOUT IT, COME ELECTION
TIME, ALMOST EVERY SITTING
COUNCILLOR WILL HAVE TO DUKE IT
OUT WITH OTHER INCUMBENT
COUNCILLORS.
FORD SAYS IT'S ABOUT SAVING
MONEY.
$25 MILLION OVER FOUR YEARS, BUT
IT'S HOW HE'S GOING ABOUT IT
THAT MAY BE THE BIGGEST ISSUE.
HIS APPROACH HAS TICKED A NUMBER
OF PEOPLE OFF.
>> Reporter: WHEN DOUG FORD WAS
A TORONTO CITY COUNCILLOR HE AND
HIS BROTHER MAYOR ROB FORD WAGED
A PITCHED BATTLE AGAINST MOST OF
THE CITY'S ELECTED
REPRESENTATIVES.
ROB FORD'S CRACK SMOKING SCANDAL
LET LED HIM TO BE STRIPPED OF
MAYOR POWER.
TODAY AS PREMIER FORD IS FORCING
THE ISSUE.
IT IS THE MOST DYSFUNCTIONAL
POLITICAL ARENA IN THE COUNTRY,
CITY HALL.
THE REASON IT'S SO
DYSFUNCTIONAL, WE HAVE 44
PEOPLE.
TRYING TO MAKE A DECISION.
>> Reporter: DOUG FORD HIMSELF
RAN FOR MAYOR OF TORONTO AND
LOST IN 2014.
THE MAN WHO BEAT HIM, MAYOR JOHN
TORY IS FURIOUS AT FORD'S
SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT.
>> WHAT WE DON'T NEED AND WHAT I
JUST CAN'T SUPPORT IS CHANGE
BEING RAMMED DOWN OUR THROATS
WITHOUT A SINGLE SECOND OF
PUBLIC CONSULTATION.
AND ON TOP OF THAT, DONE IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE ELECTION PERIOD
ITSELF.
>> Reporter: THAT MUNICIPAL
ELECTION IS IN JUST THREE
MONTHS, LEAVING INCUMBENTS AND
HUNDREDS OF CANDIDATES UNSURE OF
WHERE OR IF THEY'LL BE RUNNING.
THE MOVE RAISED QUESTIONS.
>> IT SMACKS WHEN YOU TRY TO
METAL IN THE AFFAIRS -- MEDDLE
IN THE AFFAIRS OF SOMEONE WHO
DEFEATED YOU AND THAT'S WHAT IS
HAPPENING WITH JOHN TORY AND I'M
SURE HE'S QUITE PUT OUT.
IT DOESN'T -- IT'S NOT HARD TO
DECIPHER THE FUTURE RELATIONS OF
THE CITY HALL OF TORONTO AND
FORD GOVERNMENT.
>> Reporter: THE N.D.P. LEADER
QUESTIONED HIS MOTIVES AS WELL.
>> HE'S TAKING VENGEANCE, HE'S
BEHAVING IN A MEAN SPIRITED AWAY
AND HIS BULLYING APPROACH TO
POLITICS IS OWEDIOUS.
>> Reporter: PROTESTERS SHOWED
UP TONIGHT OUTSIDE TORONTO CITY
HALL, WHILE INSIDE THE COUNCIL
MEETING DESCENDED INTO ANGER.
>> WHO KNEW ABOUT THIS IN
ADVANCE?
BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED
THAT SOMEBODY KNEW ABOUT THIS IN
ADVANCE AND DIDN'T BRING IT TO
OUR ATTENTION.
>> APOLOGIZE TO ME AND THIS
CHAMBER FOR GETTING UP IN THAT,
THAT WAY WHERE YOU'RE IMPLYING
IT, BUT NOT SAYING IT.
GET UP IF YOU HAVE THE BALLS TO
DO IT AND SAY IT.
>> Reporter: THE MAYOR SAYS HE'S
CONSIDERING THE CITY'S OPTIONS.
EVERYTHING FROM A REFERENDUM TO
A COURT CHALLENGE.
RON CHARLES, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Andrew: THIS MADE WAVES
BEYOND JUST TORONTO.
CALGARY'S MAYOR, NOT ONE TO HOLD
BACK, WAS CRITICAL OF FORD'S
TIMING AND MORE.
>> FOR YOU TO SAY TO THOSE FOLKS
WHO PUT THEIR LIVES ON HOLD
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DO PUBLIC
SERVICE, BY THE WAY YOU'RE
RUNNING FOR DOESN'T EXIST
ANYMORE, THAT'S UNCONSCIONABLE.
AND I STAND WITH MAYOR TORY ON
THIS AND SAY THAT IS A DIRECT
AFFRONT ON DEMOCRACY.
>> Andrew: THE CONCERN TO
DEMOCRACY IS ABOUT
REPRESENTATION.
CAN 25 COUNCILLORS PROPERLY
REPRESENT A CITY OF ALMOST 3
MILLION?
AND GROWING.
THAT MEANS 1 COUNCILLOR WOULD
REPRESENT ABOUT 112,000
CONSTITUENTS.
THE CLOSEST CANADIAN COMPARISON
WE COULD FIND IS CALGARY.
1 COUNCILLOR FOR EVERY 84,000
PEOPLE.
AND COMPARE THAT TO MONTREAL,
WHICH HAS 65 CITY COUNCIL
MEMBERS, THAT'S 1 FOR EVERY
26,000 PEOPLE AND THAT RANGE IS
FORD'S POINT.
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY
COUNCILLORS A CITY HAS, GOOD
GOVERNANCE WILL OVERCOME.
HE POINTS TO LOS ANGELES AS AN
EXAMPLE.
>> WHEN I TOLD THE CITY
COUNCILLORS IN LOS ANGELES WE
HAD 44 COUNCILLORS AND WE HAD
ABOUT 2.8 MILLION PEOPLE
ROUGHLY, THEY LOOKED AT ME LIKE
WE HAD THREE HEADS.
>> Andrew: FORD IS RIGHT ABOUT
L.A., IT HAS 15 CITY COUNCILLORS
FOR A POPULATION OF 4 MILLION.
THAT'S 1 COUNCILLOR PER 265,000
RESIDENTS, BUT IS THAT MORE
EFFICIENT?
COST EFFECTIVE?
WELL, THAT'S WHERE IT GETS A
LITTLE COMPLICATED.
A LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCILLOR
MAKES A LITTLE OVER $240,000
CANADIAN PER YEAR, A TORONTO
COUNCILLOR MAKES LESS THAN HALF
THAT, $112,000 AND ON AVERAGE,
L.A. COUNCILLORS HAVE 19 STAFF
MEMBERS WHO ARE PAID AND CAN
MANAGE WORKLOAD.
TORONTO, THE AVERAGE IS 3-4
STAFF.
NOW ON THE FLIP-SIDE TO ALL OF
THIS, FORD AND HIS SUPPORTERS
WOULD SAY THIS IS SIMPLY WHAT HE
WAS ELECTED TO DO.
CHANGE THINGS FOR ONTARIANS.
LESS THAN A MONTH ON THE JOB, HE
CAN POINT TO A NUMBER OF MAJOR
POLICY CHANGES.
FOR STARTERS, THE FORD
GOVERNMENT STRUCK A DEAL WITH
HYDRO ONE, THAT LED TO THE
C.E.O. AND BOARD RESIGNING.
FORD IS PHASING OUT THE
CAP-AND-TRADE PROGRAMME, WHICH
FORCED LARGE COMPANIES TO PAY
FOR CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS.
ON THE EDUCATION FRONT, HE
ROLLED BACK THE SEX-ED
CURRICULUM TO THE OLD PROGRAMME,
THE ONE THAT DOESN'T TEACH ABOUT
CONSENT, GENDER IDENTITY AND
ONLINE SAFETY AND JUST YESTERDAY
HE SAID HE WILL ALLOW PRIVATE
RETAILERS TO SELL CANNABIS.
THINGS ARE MOVING QUICK AND
THERE IS LIKELY MORE TO COME.
LET'S GET STRATEGY FROM GINNY
ROTH.
A CONSERVATIVE STRATEGIST, AND
WE SHOULD SAY YOUR HUSBAND WORKS
FOR A CURRENT PROVINCIAL
MINISTER, SO TELL US WHAT SHOULD
THE PUBLIC UNDERSTAND ABOUT HOW
DOUG FORD IS OPERATING HERE?
>> Reporter: HE'S MOVING QUICKLY
BECAUSE HE HAS A MANDATE TO DO
SO.
THE VOTERS ELECTED HIM TO MAKE
CHANGE HAND HE'S MAKING CHANGE.
I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING LIKE IT
BECAUSE HE HAS THE SINGLE MINDED
FOCUS ON GETTING THINGS DONE
QUICKLY AND MAKING SURE IT'S FOR
THE PEOPLE.
THAT WAS HIS MANDATE, THAT'S HIS
APPROACH.
>> Andrew: CAN YOU DO IT THIS
QUICKLY AND STILL GET IT RIGHT?
>> I THINK YOU CAN.
BECAUSE HE'S GOT A MANDATE FOR
IT.
AND HE'S DOGGED IN SAYING, IF WE
DON'T SEE RESULTS ON THE GROUND,
IF PEOPLE DON'T SEE THE GAS
TAXES GO DOWN, FEWER POLITICIANS
INSTEAD OF MORE, WE'RE NOT DOING
THINGS RIGHT.
IF THEY DON'T SEE IT QUICKLY,
THEN THEY WON'T GET THE MANDATE
THEY ASKED FOR WHEN THEY VOTED
FOR US.
THERE COULD BE RISKS.
YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE CABINET
MINISTERS ARE NEW, THEY'RE
LEARNING ON THE JOB.
BUT SO LONG AS YOU SEE THE
DISCIPLINE, I THINK IT'S ALWAYS
WORTH LEANING FORWARD AS HE'S
DOING AND GETTING RESULTS.
>> Andrew: SO THEN SET THE TABLE
FOR US AND LOOK FORWARD FOR US
IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU THINK MIGHT
BE COMING DOWN THE PIPE THAT
PERHAPS MAY HAVE AS BIG OF A
SPLASH AS TODAY'S ANNOUNCEMENT?
>> SO THEY PACKED A LOT IN,
REPEALING CAP-AND-TRADE,
REPEALING SEX-ED, THEY'RE MOVING
FORWARD AND THE BIG PIECE THAT
IS COMING IS FINANCIAL.
ON THE BUDGET, ON THE FALL
ECONOMIC STATEMENT, THEY'VE
LOOKED AT THE BOOKS.
THEY HAVE A COMMISSION THAT IS
LOOKING INTO THE SIZE AND COST
OF GOVERNMENT.
SOME OF THE RAMPANT WASTE FROM
THE LAST GOVERNMENT.
I DON'T THINK THE REPORT IS
GOING TO BE GOOD.
THAT'S GOING TO MEAN THAT
THEY'RE GOING TO DIG IN AND FIND
SAVINGS, BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY
WERE ELECTED FOR AND PEOPLE ARE
LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
>> Andrew: THANK YOU FOR JOINING
US.
JUST IN A FEW MOMENTS ON "THE
NATIONAL", WE'LL TAKE YOU TO
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WHERE A
WILDFIRE IS JUST 3% CONTAINED.
HOMES ARE BURNING.
AFTER A TOUGH TWO WEEKS FOR
DONALD TRUMP, SOME GOOD NEWS IN
THE ECONOMIC UPDATE.
ARE INTERNATIONAL TRADE SPATS
HELPING HIM AT HOME?
FIRST, SOMETHING THAT HITS CLOSE
TO HOME.
AN EMOTIONAL MOMENT ON THE
DANFORTH TONIGHT IN TORONTO.
>> I LOVE IT AND I CAN'T BELIEVE
THAT HAPPENED HERE.
I HAVE A LITTLE SON AND HE EVEN
NOTICED THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED,
HE SAID WHY IS THE STREET TAPED
OFF?
AND THAT'S HEARTBREAKING FOR ME.
>> Andrew: SO, SHE RETURNED TO
THE DANFORTH THIS EVENING TO
JOIN IN A MOMENT OF SILENCE
ORCHEST
ORGANIZED BY THE BUSINESSES THAT
LINE THE STRIP AND THE
EMPLOYEES.
THE LATEST STEP ON A LONG ROAD
BACK TO NORMAL.
IT WILL BE A LONG ROAD,
ESPECIALLY FOR DANIELLE KANE, A
NURSING STUDENT.
SHE WAS THE ONE BEING CARED FOR
TODAY AS DOCTORS PERFORMED HER
FOURTH SURGERY.
SHE WAS WITH HER BOYFRIEND JERRY
PINKSEN WHEN SHE WAS SHOT.
WE JOINED PINKSEN AS HE MADE THE
DIFFICULT JOURNEY BACK TO THE
SPOT WHERE EVERYTHING CHANGED.
>> I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BEST TO
COME HERE AND JUST TO SEE THE
SITE, SEE IF I CAN SEE IF I CAN
START THE HEALING PROCESS, A
LITTLE QUICKER.
>> Reporter: JERRY PINKSEN AND
HIS GIRLFRIEND DANIELLE KANE
USED TO LOVE THE DANFORTH, BUT
LAST SUNDAY, THEIR LIVES WERE
CHANGED FOREVER.
DANIELLE WAS SHOT IN THE
ABDOMEN, IT SHATTERED A
VERTEBRA.
HER FAMILY FEARS SHE MAY NEVER
WALK AGAIN.
>> I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
PEOPLE KNOW HER SACRIFICE.
>> Reporter: PINKSEN SAYS SHE
FOLLOWED HIM OUT OF THE
RESTAURANT THAT NIGHT TO HELP
SOMEONE WHO WAS INJURED.
THAT IS WHEN SHE WAS SHOT.
>> I INITIALLY SAW A LOT OF --
FELT A LOT OF GUILT BECAUSE LIKE
IT WAS MY INITIAL DECISION TO GO
OUTSIDE TO HELP THE WOUNDED.
I'M THE ONE -- I'M THE ONE WHO
DID THIS -- I MADE THE DECISION
TO GO OUT.
AND SHE -- SHE GOT INJURED.
>> SHE IS THE PERSON WHO WANTS
TO HELP?
>> THAT'S WHY I FELL IN LOVE
WITH HER.
THAT'S WHY I LOVE HER SO MUCH,
SHE'S SUCH A SELFLESS PERSON.
>> Reporter: AFTER HER COUSIN
FIRST SHARED HER STORY WITH "THE
NATIONAL", THERE IS OUTPOURING
OF SUPPORT FOR KANE.
THERE HAS BEEN GO FUND ME SET UP
FOR REHAB AND HOUSING.
>> WHEN I HEAR THE KIND WORDS,
IT JUST FILLS ME UP AND ALLOWS
KNOW KEEP GOING.
>> Reporter: HOW ARE YOU FEELING
COMING UP TO THE RESTAURANT?
>> I -- I THINK I'M READY.
I THINK I'M -- I THINK I WANT TO
SEE IT.
>> Reporter: WE'RE HERE.
>> WE WERE RIGHT HERE.
ON THE PATIO.
AND -- THIS IS THE EXIT WHERE WE
CAME OUT OF.
>> Reporter: WHY IS IT IMPORTANT
TO GET YOURSELF BACK HERE?
TO SEE THIS, TO FACE THIS?
>> IT HELPS TO TALK ABOUT IT.
IT HELPS TO LESSEN THE ANGER AND
HELPS TO LESSEN THE FEAR.
AND WHEN DANIELLE IS READY AND
ABLE, I WANT TO BRING HER BACK
HERE, I WANT HER TO SEE IT, AND
I WANT US TO HEAL TOGETHER.
>> Andrew: LATE TODAY, WE GOT
WORD FROM DANIELLE'S FAMILY
ABOUT TODAY'S SURGERY.
HER FOURTH AS I MENTIONED SINCE
SHE WAS SHOT.
THEY SAID THE SURGERY WAS A HUGE
SUCCESS.
THIS IS LIKELY HER FINAL
SURGERY.
THEY'RE STARTING TO WEAN HER OFF
THE VENTILATOR AND DECREASE
SEDATION.
HOPEFULLY SHE'LL BE ABLE TO
SPEAK BY MONDAY.
THE NEXT STEP IS REHABILITATION.
>>> LET'S TAKE YOU WEST TO
CALIFORNIA, WHERE A FAST MOVING
WILDFIRE HAS KILLED TWO PEOPLE.
IT'S KNOWN AS THE CAR FIRE.
BURNING IN THE STATE'S NORTH.
THAT WALL OF FLAMES BEING
FUELLED BY DRY CONDITIONS AND
EXTREMELY HOT TEMPERATURES.
THE FIRE IS ALREADY BURNED DOWN
DOZENS OF BUILDINGS AND IT'S
SURGING TOWARD MAJOR RESIDENTIAL
AREAS.
THAT HAD EMERGENCY OFFICIALS
PUTTING OUT AN URGENT PLEA FOR
PEOPLE IN REDDING.
THE WARNING TO EVACUATE
IMMEDIATELY.
THIS IS JUST SOME OF WHAT IS
POSTED ONLINE.
YOU SEE THE NIGHT SKY AGLOW WITH
ORANGE AND RED FLAMES AS THE
FIRE TORE THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN
WEST OF REDDING.
IT IS THE REGION'S LARGEST CITY.
SCARY STUFF.
AND IMAGINE HAVING JUST MOVED
IN.
>> MY COWORKERS LIKE, OH, THE
FIRE IS COMING AND EVERYBODY
FROM CALIFORNIA IS USED TO
FIRES, SO ME BEING FROM THE
MIDWEST WHO IS NOT USED TO
FIRES, I IMMEDIATELY WAS
FREAKING OUT AND CRYING, AND I
WAS LIKE, WHAT IF IT COMES HERE
AND I LOSE ALL MY STUFF?
I HAVE TO GO GET MY THINGS.
I KEEP GOING THROUGH THINGS I
FORGOT TO BRING, OH, MAN AND
THEY'RE STUPID THINGS, BUT I
KEEP THINKING ABOUT IT.
I'M LIKE, OH.
>> SARA DAY IS ORIGINALLY FROM
DETROIT.
SHE MOVED TO REDDING A FEW
MONTHS AGO, RIGHT INTO THE PATH
OF THE FIRE.
>> I WAS REALLY AFRAID OF MY
FAMILY WAS IN THE MIDWEST AND I
WAS REALLY AFRAID THAT IF I
WASN'T PREPARED THAT I WOULD
NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN.
AND IT WAS JUST LIKE I DIDN'T
WANT TO BE CAUGHT UNAWARE, I
WANTED TO PLAN, IT'S THE FIRST
TIME I'VE EVER HAD TO DO
ANYTHING LIKE THIS.
BECAUSE IN THE MIDWEST WE GET A
TORNADO AND BLIZZARD, AND I'M
LIKE, A BLIZZARD IS WORST THAN A
FIRE.
THEY SAY IT'S REALLY BAD.
FOR CALIFORNIANS TO SAY IT'S
BAD, THAT MEANS IT'S REALLY BAD.
>> Andrew: RIGHT NOW, SHE'S IN A
SAFE PLACE, BUT THAT FIRE IS
STILL BURNING AND WILL FOR SOME
SOMETIME.
IT'S JUST 3% CONTAINED.
AND THE WEATHER ISN'T EXPECTED
TO OFFER RELIEF.
BAD NEWS FOR THE NEARLY 2000
FIREFIGHTERS ON HAND.
>>> A NUMBER OF WILDFIRES ARE
ALSO BURNING ON THIS SIDE OF THE
BORDER.
THERE ARE AIR QUALITY STATEMENTS
IN B.C. AND IN ONTARIO THERE ARE
AT LEAST A DOZEN WILDFIRES.
HAVE A LOOK.
THESE ARE PICTURES OF THE FIRE
IN PARRY SOUND, NORTH OF
SUDBURY.
AN ALBERTA FIREFIGHTER WAS
KILLED BATTLING A WILDFIRE NORTH
OF THUNDER BAY IN ONTARIO.
HE DIED WHILE TRYING TO PROTECT
THE TOWN OF RED LAKE.
>>> HERE'S A LOOK AT WHAT ELSE
WE'RE TRACKING.
CHARGES LAID IN WHAT POLICE ARE
CALLING A HATE MOTIVATED CRIME.
THE ALTERCATION CAUGHT ON VIDEO.
>> IF YOU DO SOMETHING TO ME,
WHAT?
>> Andrew: IT HAPPENED MONDAY
EVENING.
THE MAN APPEARING ON THE VIDEO
TO YELL RACIST INSULTS AS A
FAMILY AND PUSHING ONE OF THEM.
50-YEAR-OLD LOMBRAY BALL
APPEARED IN COURT ON CHARGES OF
ASSAULT AND UTTERING DEATH
THREATS.
>>> CHASE THE ACE WINNERS IS
GOING TO COURT, I'M TAKING THEM
TO COURT.
>> THIS NOVA SCOTIA WOMAN HAS
FOLLOWED THROUGH ON HER THREAT.
SHE IS SUING HER NEPHEW OVER A
$1.2 MILLION CHASE THE ACE
JACKPOT.
REDDICK'S NAME WAS ON THE
CHEQUE, BUT SO WAS HER NEPHEW.
THEY SPLIT THE PRIZE, BUT
REDDICK SAYS SHE PAID FOR THE
TICKET AND HER NEPHEW'S NAME WAS
ONLY WRITTEN ON IT FOR GOOD
LUCK.
>>> AND STARGAZERS FROM EUROPE
TO AUSTRALIA GOT QUITE A TREAT
TODAY.
THE LONGEST TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE
ANY HUMAN WILL SEE THIS CENTURY
LASTED AN HOUR AND 42 MINUTES.
THAT'S THE EARTH RIGHT BETWEEN
THE SUN AND THE FULL MOON IN A
STRAIGHT LINE, GIVING THE MOON
THE DEEP RED COLOUR WHICH IS WHY
FOLKS CALL IT A BLOOD MOON.
YOU WON'T SEE ONE AS LONG AS
TODAY'S FOR ANOTHER 100 YEARS OR
SO, THE YEAR 2123.
>>> STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL", WHY YOU'LL START
SEEING MORE SIZES IN MORE
CLOTHING STORES.
AS ALWAYS, IT'S ABOUT THE BOTTOM
LINE.
>>> BRITISH AD CAMPAIGN MADE IN
CANADA.
OUR FIRST LOOK AT THE TARGETED
BREXIT ADS MADE BY A CANADIAN
COMPANY THAT SOME SAY SWAYED THE
VOTE.
>> AND A 13-YEAR-OLD FROM
TORONTO WOWS THE CROWD ON U.S.
NATIONAL TELEVISION.
>> I WAS NERVOUS.
COMBINATION OF NERVOUSNESS AND
EXCITEMENT.
AND ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS SING.
* YOU RAISE ME UP
*
* SO I CAN STAND ON MOUNTAINS
>> Andrew: ASK DONALD TRUMP WHO
DESERVES CREDIT FOR A SURGE IN
THE U.S. ECONOMY AND HE'LL SAY,
HE DOES.
THAT WON'T SURPRISE A HECK OF A
LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT THIS TIME,
EVEN SOME OF HIS BIGGEST
ATTRACTERS ADMIT HE MIGHT BE
RIGHT.
APRIL THROUGH JUNE THIS YEAR,
THE U.S. ECONOMY GREW AT ITS
FASTEST PACE SINCE 2014, BUT AS
LYNDSAY DUNCOMBE TELLS US, MANY
ARE ASKING HOW LONG CAN IT LAST?
>> Reporter: SUMMERTIME AND THE
SPENDING IS EASY.
IN THIS HIGH END SHOPPING
COMPLEX IN D.C.
>> I'M NOT GOING OUT TO BUY A
ROLLS-ROYCE, BUT IF I NEED TO
BUY A CAR, I CAN MAKE THE
PAYMENT.
>> Reporter: CONSUMER CONFIDENCE
IS ONE OF THE REASONS U.S.
G.D.P. GREW 4.1% IN THE LAST
THREE MONTHS.
NEARLY DOUBLE GROWTH IN THE
FIRST QUARTER OF 2018.
THE STRONGEST EXPANSION IN FOUR
YEARS.
ECONOMY WATCHERS CONCLUDE --
>> IT'S A VERY GOOD SOLID
PICTURE.
>> Reporter: SO GOOD, DONALD
TRUMP HELD AN IMPROMPTU
ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
>> THESE NUMBERS ARE VERY
SUSTAINABLE.
>> Reporter: THAT'S WHERE MANY
ECONOMISTS DISAGREE.
THEY WORRY ALL THE SPENDING IS A
ONE TIME EFFECT OF JANUARY'S TAX
CUT.
AND POINT OUT THAT SOME OF THAT
GROWTH IS DUE TO PREPARATIONS
FOR TRUMP'S TRADE SHOWDOWNS WITH
COUNTRIES BUYING UP PRODUCTS,
SUCH AS SOYBEANS BEFORE TARIFFS
KICK IN.
EVEN THE PRESIDENT'S SUPPORTERS
PRAISE HIM WITH AN ASTERISK.
>> FOR MANY AMERICANS, WE'RE
HAVING THE BEST ECONOMY OF OUR
LIFETIME AND IT'S MAINLY DUE TO
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
I JUST HOPE WE DON'T BLOW IT ALL
ON A GLOBAL TRADE WAR.
>> Reporter: THAT'S WHERE THE
UNCERTAINTY COMES IN.
THE TRADE CONFLICTS WITH CHINA,
EU AND CANADA HASN'T KICKED IN
YET.
TRUMP IS ALREADY TRYING TO
MITIGATE THE IMPACT.
JUST THIS WEEK, DIALLING BACK
THE RHETORIC WITH THE EU AND
PROMISING NEW TRADE TALKS.
AND ANNOUNCING A $12 BILLION
BAILOUT PACKAGE FOR FARMERS.
>> IT'S A STEP IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION THAT HELPS FARMERS A
LITTLE BIT.
BUT REALLY WE'D RATHER GET PAID
BY THE MARKET THAN HAVE A
GOVERNMENT BAILOUT.
>> Reporter: ONE THING IS
CERTAIN ABOUT TODAY'S NUMBERS,
THERE IS SOMETHING REPUBLICANS
CAN CAMPAIGN ON.
THE NEXT QUARTERLY REPORT DOES
NOT COME OUT UNTIL 11 DAYS
BEFORE THE MIDTERM ELECTION.
>> Andrew: AN UPDATE TO A STORY
WE BROUGHT YOU LAST MONTH.
A MEXICAN REPORTER AND HIS SON
ARE NOW FREE AFTER SPENDING
MONTHS IN U.S. FEDERAL
DETENTION.
ANTÓNIO GUTERRES AND HIS SON
OSCAR, THEY WERE OVERJOYED.
>> HE SAYS HIS SON GAVE HIM THE
INSPIRATION TO CARRY ON.
THE TWO OF THEM FLED PERSECUTION
IN MEXICO AND HAVE BEEN TRYING
TO GET ASYLUM FOR A DECADE, BUT
LAST DECEMBER, THEY WERE
SUDDENLY IMPRISONED BY
IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS.
EARLIER THIS YEAR, ADRIENNE
SPOKE WITH BOTH OF THEM INSIDE
THE DETENTION SETS.
YOU CAN HAVE A LOOK AT THE FULL
DOCUMENTARY ON OUR YouTube
CHANNEL.
>>> STILL AHEAD, THEY SHIPPED
T-SHIRTS FROM HUMBOLDT,
SASKATCHEWAN, ALL OVER THE WORLD
AND THEIR EMOTIONAL MOMENT IS
OUR MOMENT OF THE DAY.
PLUS, A SPECIAL CBC SHORT DOC
ABOUT THE PLACE HUNDREDS OF
PEOPLE IN CALGARY CALLED HOME
AND WHAT THEY DID WHEN THE CITY
DECIDED TO EVICT THEM.
>> WELL, I LOOK AT THE GOLF
COURSE, I SAY YOU GOT 3-400
PEOPLE LIVING IN THIS PARK AND
SIX PEOPLE ON THE GOLF COURSE,
COVERING ABOUT 5,000 ACRES.
AND THEY HAVE NO PLACE FOR US.
>> Andrew: ON "THE NATIONAL"
TONIGHT, A SURPRISING NEW STAR
IN THE NEXT STAR WARS MOVIE, THE
LATE CARRIE FISHER.
DISNEY ANNOUNCED TODAY THEY'LL
BE USING UNRELEASED FOOTAGE OF
HER SHOT FOR THE FORCE AWAKENS.
FISHER DIED AT THE AGE OF 60.
>>> THE DAY AFTER Facebook STOCK
TOOK A SLIDE, TWITTER DID THE
SAME.
THAT'S DESPITE A RISE IN
REVENUE.
THE PROBLEM, A DROP IN ACTIVE
USERS.
THE COMPANY'S SHARES LOST 20% OF
THEIR VALUE AFTER THAT NEWS CAME
OUT.
THE PLATFORM DELETED MANY FAKE
ACCOUNTS RECENTLY.
>>> Facebook SHAREHOLDERS ARE
SUING THE COMPANY OVER ITS
RECORD-BREAKING STOCK DROP
YESTERDAY, ACCUSING Facebook AND
C.E.O. MARK ZUCKERBERG OF
MISLEADING INVESTORS ABOUT HOW
WELL THE COMPANY WAS DOING AND
THE DECLINE IN ACTIVE USERS.
>>> YOU LIKELY FIRST HEARD ABOUT
AGGREGATE IQ EARLIER THIS YEAR,
ITS ALLEGED LINKS TO THE FIRM
CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA AND ITS ROLE
IN THE BREXIT REFERENDUM.
IT WAS HIRED TO PROVIDE ONLINE
ADS FOR THE LEAVE CAMPAIGN AHEAD
OF THE VOTE.
BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE
WIDER PUBLIC IS GETTING A LOOK
AT THOSE ADS.
AS THOMAS DAIGLE TELLS US, IT'S
RAISING ETHICAL QUESTIONS.
>> Reporter: SOUTHEAST ENGLAND,
A TOWN THAT HUGS ENGLISH
CHANNEL.
YOU CAN SEE THE FAINT COAST IN
THE DISTANCE.
THIS MAY BE BRITAIN'S GATEWAY TO
THE MAINLAND, BUT IT DOESN'T
MEAN PEOPLE HERE FEEL CONNECTED
TO THE EUROPE.
IN FACT, THE MAJORITY OF VOTERS
HERE CHOSE BREXIT.
>> IT'S MORE ABOUT SOVEREIGNTY,
ABOUT OUR NATIONAL IDENTITY
REALLY.
>> Reporter: WHO AMONG THEM
WOULD HAVE KNOWN A COMPANY IN
BRITISH COLUMBIA WAS SWAYING
VOTES HERE BY SPREADING
QUESTIONABLE CLAIMS.
>> DID YOU SEE THIS DURING THE
CAMPAIGN?
350 MILLION A WEEK?
>> YES, THAT WAS EVERYWHERE.
THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT.
>> Reporter: YET PEOPLE BELIEVED
IT.
>> I KNOW, BUT WHERE WAS THAT AT
THE TIME?
>> Reporter: THE VOTE LEAVE
CAMPAIGN POURED MILLIONS INTO
AGGREGATE IQ, BASED ALL THE WAY
IN VICTORIA.
NOW WE KNOW WHAT Facebook ADS
THEY PUMPED OUT IN RETURN.
THIS ONE SUBJECTS BRITAIN SENDS
350 MILLION POUNDS A WEEK TO THE
EU, ENOUGH TO BUILD A NEW
HOSPITAL EVERY 7 DAYS IT SAYS.
THERE IS THE THREAT OF TURKEY
AND THE WHOLE POPULATION MOVING
TO THE U.K. AND THE DUBIOUS
CLAIM THE EU WANTS TO KILL
BRITAIN'S BELOVED CUP OF TEA.
>> THERE SHOULD BE A CHALLENGE.
>> Reporter: M.P. DAMIAN COLLINS
AND HIS PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE
JUST ACQUIRED COMPANIES OF THE
ADS.
>> YOU TAKE A SMALL COMPANY THAT
HAS NOT WORKED IN THE U.K.
BEFORE AND THEY ARE THE MAIN
ADVERTISERS FOR THE LEAVE
CAMPAIGN.
IT IS UNCLEAR HOW THE
INTRODUCTION IS MADE.
>> Reporter: SOMETIMES IT CAN BE
IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL THESE ARE
POLITICAL ADS JUST BY LOOKING AT
THEM.
THEY CAN SEEM LIKE A POLL OR
EVEN A GAME.
THIS SUPPOSED SOCCER QUIZ TO WIN
50 MILLION POUNDS WAS ACTUALLY
ONLY MEANT TO COLLECT USER DATA.
>> THESE ARE LIKE THE --
>> Reporter: SHAHMIR SANNI
WITNESSED IT FROM THE INSIDE AS
A CAMPAIGN VOLUNTEER.
>> THE PEOPLE NEED TO BE
ACCOUNTED FOR.
WE CAN'T ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN.
YOU CAN'T ALLOW THE LAW TO BE
BROKEN AND YOU CAN'T ALLOW
MISINFORMATION TO SPREAD.
>> Reporter: THE BREXIT CAMPAIGN
HAS BEEN OVER FOR TWO YEARS.
STILL, NO ONE KNOWS HOW MANY
LIVE MAY HAVE AFFECTED THE
OUTCOME.
THOMAS DAIGLE, CBC NEWS,
ENGLAND.
>> Andrew: CBC NEWS HAS BEEN
TRYING TO REACHING THE COMPANY FOR
THE STORY.
>>> MORE SIZES IN MORE STORES.
THE TREND TOWARD INCLUSIVE
SIZING.
>> WE'RE NOT A PLUS SIZE BRAND,
WE'RE A BRAND OF APPAREL FOR
WOMEN AND I REALLY STRONGLY
BELIEVE THAT
YOU, YOU HAVE TO FIGHT FOR IT.
IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO FIGHT
FOR YOUR HOME, YOU DON'T DESERVE
IT.
>> THIS IS THE STORY ABOUT
LOSING THINGS THAT MATTER MOST.
A COMMUNITY, A SENSE OF
BELONGING.
THE PLACE YOU CALLED HOME FOR 50
YEARS.
FOR HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN
CALGARY, MIDFIELD MOBILE HOME
PARK WAS SUCH PLACE, BUT WHEN
THE CITY DECIDED TO CLOSE IT,
SOME RESIDENTS DUG IN FOR A
FIGHT, PERHAPS NONE MOSO THAN
83-YEAR-OLD RUDY PREDIGER.
A SHORT DOC, CALLED EVICTION
NOTICE.
>> YOU KNOW, I'M IN MY 80s AND I
DON'T PLAN ON GETTING RICH.
MY DAUGHTER SAID TO ME ONE TIME,
SHE JOKES WITH ME, MY YOUNGEST,
SHE SAID, DAD, GIVE ME SOME OF
YOUR MONEY, I SAID WHY, SHE SAID
YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU.
I SAID THEN I'M NOT GOING.
THEY WANT THIS LAND.
SOME PEOPLE ARE ESTIMATING IT'S
WORTH $90 MILLION, SOME SAY $60
MILLION.
THIS IS MY HOME.
I SPENT $25,000 LAST YEAR
PUTTING A NEW ROOF AND UPGRADING
THE WHOLE THING.
NEW SIDING.
I CAN'T JUST WALK AWAY.
YOU KNOW.
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
>> THIS TREE HERE, I PLANTED
THAT WHEN I WAS ABOUT A FOOT AND
A HALF HIGH.
AND THE CITY ONE DAY IS GOING TO
COME IN HERE AND HIT MY TREE
WITH A BULLDOZER.
WELL, I LOOK AT THE GOLF COURSE,
I SAY YOU GOT 3-400 PEOPLE
LIVING IN THIS PARK AND SIX
PEOPLE ON THE GOLF COURSE
COVERING ABOUT 5,000 ACRES.
AND THEY HAVE NO PLACE FOR US.
RIDICULOUS.
I'M NOT TELLING THEM TO REMOVE
THE GOLF COURSE.
I'M TELLING THEM TO REMOVE
THEMSELVES FROM OUR WAY OF LIFE.
IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T
TREAT US LIKE TRAILER TRASH.
>> IF YOU PLAY NICE, THEY'LL
WALK ALL OVER YOU.
ONLY THING THAT IS GOING TO SAVE
US IS THE PRESS AND THE MEDIA.
YOU HAVE TO EMBARRASS.
>> THE FUTURE OF MIDFIELD PARK
HAS BEEN UP IN THE AIR SINCE THE
EARLY 2000s WHEN CONCERNS
SURFACED OVER FAILING WATER AND
SEWER LINES.
>> YOU CANNOT FIX THE SEWER
WITHOUT REMOVING THE HOUSE
BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE LAND IS
BUILT.
>> Reporter: CIVIC OFFICIALS
WILL PREFER THE VALUABLE
PROPERTY TO BE USED FOR MIXED
USE DEVELOPMENTS.
>> LOOK AT THIS, GOES BACK TO
2006.
>> Reporter: RUDY PREDIGER LEADS
A COMMUNITY CO-OP AND HE SAYS
THERE IS ONLY ONE DEAL HE WILL
ACCEPT.
>> TO GET OUT OF HERE AND LEAVE
US ALONE.
>> THERE IS QUITE A FEW PEOPLE
IN HERE THAT THINK THEY'LL BE
ABLE TO WALK UP TO A LAWYER AND
FIGHT AND STAY IN HERE.
WE'RE GOING TO SAVE THE PARK,
YOU'RE NOT SAVING SHIT.
IT'S GOING TO BE TAKEN, PERIOD.
YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE YOUR HOME.
THERE IS NO MORE FIGHT.
THERE IS NO MORE TIME.
>> I'M GOING TO MISS IT.
>> UNDER THE MOBILE HOME TENANCY
ACT, HAD TO GIVE ONE YEAR
NOTICE, WE SAID THAT WASN'T
FAIR, WE GAVE THREE.
NO COMPENSATION IS PAYABLE, WE
SAID THAT WASN'T FAIR, SO
EVERYBODY IS GETTING $10,000
CASH PLUS HELP WITH THE MOVING
EXPENSES, PLUS, OF COURSE, THEY
STILL OWN THEIR HOME.
SO OF THE 183 HOMES THAT WE'VE
SEALED, I BELIEVE THAT 150 HAVE
MOVED ALREADY.
ABOUT 40 HAVE PLANS TO MOVE
BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH.
ABOUT 10 WE HAVE NOT HEARD FROM
YET.
>> A YEAR AGO I WAS STARTING TO
HAVE PAINS AND EVERYTHING AND
THEN I FINALLY WENT GOT CHECKED
OUT.
AFTER A MONTH OR SO, DIAGNOSIS,
I FOUND OUT I HAD STOMACH
CANCER.
SO I WENT BACK TO WORK AND SAID,
WELL, I CAN'T WORK NOW BECAUSE
I'VE GOT OTHER ISSUES TO DEAL
WITH.
AND LEFT WORK, CAME HOME HERE,
AND WALKED INTO THE FRONT DOOR
AND THAT'S WHEN THE NOTICE WAS
ON THE FRONT DOOR SAYING THAT WE
HAVE TO LEAVE HERE AT THE END OF
SEPTEMBER.
SO, THEN I JUST KIND OF THREW
THAT ASIDE, BECAUSE I HAD OTHER
ISSUES TO WORK ON RIGHT NOW.
I WAS IN A LOT OF PAIN AND
EVERYTHING.
SO WE GOT THROUGH THAT.
NOW I GOT TO GET THROUGH THIS.
>> RESIDENTS HAVE A LAWYER
WORKING ON THEIR BEHALF.
HE TOOK IT TO COURT TODAY.
AT A HEARING IN NOVEMBER, HE
WILL ARGUE THE CITY'S REASONS
FOR EVICTING THE RESIDENTS GOES
AGAINST THE PROVINCE'S MOBILE
HOMESITE TENANCY ACT.
>> WE'RE HERE TO GO IN FRONT OF
THE JUDGE AND FIND OUT WHICH WAY
THINGS ARE GOING TO GO.
>> HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT
YOUR CHANCE?
>> I ALWAYS FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT,
OTHERWISE I WOULDN'T BE HERE.
[LAUGHTER].
>> THE KEY THING HERE IS, AND
THE THING THAT THE JUDGE IS
GOING TO BE DECIDING WITH THIS
APPLICATION, IS WHETHER OR NOT
WHAT THE CITY DID WAS WRONG.
FOR THE PEOPLE STILL THERE,
THERE IS HOPE THEY'RE GOING TO
CONTINUE TO BE THERE.
THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT
STRESS DOES TO A PERSON.
IT'S KILLING US, IT'S KILLING
US.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYMORE
CRYING.
>> MONDAY, 10:52 A.M., HI,
THERE, TRIED TO GET YOU THREE
TIMES, I LEFT A MESSAGE BEFORE,
BUT YOU DIDN'T CALL BACK, SO
GIVE ME A CALL BACK.
>> GIVE ME A CALL.
TALK TO YOU LATER.
>> HEY, RUDY, I'M GOING TO COME
OVER TO THE HOUSE.
OK?
>> WHEN YOU FELL TODAY, WERE YOU
DIZZY?
>> I DON'T KNOW, I WOULD HAVE
SAT DOWN.
>> HAD PNEUMONIA AND I THINK
THAT'S BECAUSE I WAS LAYING ON
THAT COLD FLOOR FOR SO LONG.
I THINK ABOUT 30 HOURS.
>> I DON'T WANT TO BE IN SOME
HOME.
YOU KNOW.
IF I'M GOING TO DIE, I'LL DO IT
AT HOME.
>> YEAH, LAY DOWN NOW.
WHEN I WAS GONE IN THE HOSPITAL,
WHEN I COME HOME, I WENT AND
LAID DOWN ON THE BED AND SHE
LAID DOWN BESIDE ME AND
SOMETHING WOKE ME UP, AND HERE
SHE IS RIGHT HERE, LICKING MY
NOSE.
LAYING ON THE BED AND LICKING MY
NOSE.
GLAD I COME BACK.
>> HELLO?
>> HELLO.
>> SO YOU GOING TO FILL ME IN ON
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED DOWN AT
THE COURTHOUSE?
>> I JUST HEARD ON THE RADIO
HERE THAT THE JUDGE ORDERED
EVERYBODY OUT.
THAT'S ALL I KNOW.
YEAH.
JUST THE NEWS YOU NEEDED TO HEAR
TODAY, HUH?
>> I WAS PLANNING ON RETIRING
HERE AND SPENDING THE REST OF MY
YEARS HERE.
BUT ANYTIME YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO
DO WITH THE CITY, YOU KNOW,
THEY'LL DIG YOUR GRAVE UP IF
THEY WANT THAT LAND.
IT'S COST ME IN MY LIFE, FOR
BEING OUTSPOKEN.
BUT IF I THINK SOMEBODY IS BEING
TREATED WRONG, I SPEAK UP.
IT'S JUST THE WAY I AM.
IT'S LIKE ONE GUY TOLD ME ONE
TIME, I LIKE A GOOD LICKING ONCE
IN A WHILE.
I SAID, WHY?
HE SAID IT FEELS SO GOOD WHEN
THEY QUIT.
>> Andrew: IN THE END, 183 HOMES
WERE REMOVED OR DESTROYED.
MORE THAN 400 PEOPLE FORCED OUT.
AND THE LAND STILL SITS VACANT.
AS FOR SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT
YOU JUST MET, RUDY PREDIGER DID
FIND A NEW PLACE TO LIVE.
ANOTHER MOBILE HOME PARK JUST ON
THE OUTSKIRTS OF CALGARY.
MARK VAN ESEN WHOSE SENSE OF
DEFEAT YOU SAW IN THE BEGINNING
OF THE STORY, HE MOVED TO RED
DEER, ALBERTA AND SADLY, MAURICE
LAVOIE, THE MAN WITH STOMACH
CANCER, PASSED AWAY SHORTLY
AFTER THE DOCUMENTARY WAS
COMPLETED.
IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THE FULL
VERSION OF "EVICTION NOTICE",
YOU CAN HEAD TO CBC.CA AND
YOU'LL FIND OTHER DOCUMENTARIES.
>> Andrew: WHEN IT COMES TO
PLUS-SIZE CLOTHING, YOU WANT
SOMETHING STYLISH AND AFFORDABLE
AND INCREASINGLY MAJOR STORES
ARE CATCHING ON.
AND TO AN EXTENT WE HAVEN'T
REALLY SEEN BEFORE.
IN DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON, IN
FASHION, PLUS SIZE MIGHT BE THE
NEW BLACK.
>> Reporter: DANIELLE LOMBARDI
AND SARAH DEMELIO HAVE ALWAYS
LOVED FASHION, BUT HAVE FELT
THAT THE INDUSTRY DOESN'T LOVE
THEM BACK.
>> I HAD TO MAKE MY DRESS.
PROM DRESSES DIDN'T FIT ME.
>> THE THINGS OUT THERE IN OUR
SIZES ARE VERY LOW QUALITY.
>> Reporter: LOMBARDI AND
DEMELIO ARE AMONG 1/3 OF WOMEN
IN CANADA AND 16 MILLION IN
NORTH AMERICA THAT NEED
PLUS-SIZE CLOTHING
THE MANTRA ALWAYS BEEN, SMALLER
THE BETTER.
>> THERE'S NOTHING IN THIS WHOLE
CLOSET THAT CAN FIT A SIZE 6, I
GUARANTEE YOU.
>> Reporter: NOW IT LOOKS LIKE
THEIR FASHION FORTUNES ARE
CHANGING.
MAINSTREAM RETAILERS ARE GETTING
THE MESSAGE.
WOMEN ABOVE SIZE 14 DON'T WANT
TO SHOP AT SPECIALTY STORES
ONLY, SOMETHING CANADIAN
ALEXANDRA WALTMAN FIGURED OUT A
LONG TIME AGO.
>> SEPARATING SOME WOMEN IN
ACCESS AND STYLE AND QUALITY HAS
GOT TO STOP.
>> Reporter: WHEN J. CREW
DECIDED TO EXTEND ITS SIZE
RANGE, IT TURNED TO WALDMAN FOR
EXPERTISE.
THE COMPANY SHE CO-FOUNDED
CARRIES SIZES 6-32, WITH THE
FOCUS ON THE LATEST TRENDS AND
HIGHEST QUALITY.
THE NEW SELECTION HAS 37 PIECES
IN SIZES UP TO 5X.
>> THEY WANTED TO CREATE A NEW
WAY FOR ALL WOMEN TO SHOP, WHICH
WAS MORE INCLUSIVE AND DIVERSE
IN TERMS OF SIZE.
WE'RE NOT A PLUS SIZE BRAND.
WE'RE A BRAND OF APPAREL FOR
WOMEN AND I REALLY STRONGLY
BELIEVE THAT THAT'S THE FUTURE.
>> Reporter: THERE'S GOOD
INDICATION THERE IS.
LIKE J. CREW, MANY OTHER FASHION
BRANDS ARE GOING SIZE INCLUSIVE.
YOU CAN SEE IT IN THEIR
CATALOGUES, WHERE MODELS OF
SMALLER AND BIGGER FRAMES ARE
SIDE BY SIDE.
>> IT'S DEGRADING.
YOU GUYS CAN STAY ON THE MAIN
FLOOR WITH ALL THE DESIGNERS AND
LABELS AND I WILL JUST TAKE THE
ESCALATOR UP TO THE SECTION, THE
PLUS SECTION.
>> Reporter: BEHIND THIS SHIFT
IN THINKING, MONEY.
PLUS SIZE PURCHASES AMOUNT TO
CLOSE TO $2 BILLION IN SALES IN
CANADA EACH YEAR AND MORE THAN
$20 BILLION IN THE U.S. AND IT'S
GROWING.
IT'S SOMETHING BIG RETAILERS CAN
NO LONGER IGNORE, SAYS FASHION
BUSINESS ANALYST.
>> I THINK OPPORTUNITY HAS BEEN
ONE OF THE MORE IMPORTANT
DRIVERS.
>> Reporter: AND HE SAYS THE
RETAILERS ARE ALSO AWARE OF THE
CHANGING SET OF VALUES.
>> I THINK NOW THAT, YOU KNOW,
WE ALL HAVE VOICES ON SOCIAL
MEDIA.
THERE'S AN ABILITY FOR PEOPLE TO
EXPRESS WHAT THEY THINK AND THE
DEMAND HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE.
IT'S NOW JUST A LOT MORE
EVIDENCE.
>> Reporter: WOMEN THAT DO
PLUS-SIZE MODELLING ARE PART OF
THE CHANGE, PART OF A GROUP WHO
CALL THEMSELVES THE CANADIAN
CURVIES AND THEIR FOLLOWERS ARE
IN THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.
WHILE THEY'RE HAPPY WITH THE
ATTENTION, THEY WILL NOT SETTLE
FOR JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.
>> IT'S NOT A MATTER OF CUTTING
IT AND SAY, IT WILL FIT YOU
BECAUSE IT'S THREE TIMES BIGGER,
NO.
>> Reporter: RETAILERS WILL FACE
SOME TOUGH CHALLENGES.
>> IT'S MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE TO
MAKE A DRESS THAT'S A SIZE 32
BECAUSE IT'S FIVE TIMES THE
MATERIAL THAT A ZERO IS, BUT THE
PRICE TO THE CONSUMER HAS TO BE
THE SAME.
>> Reporter: PART OF A STEEP
LEARNING CURVE FOR THE FASHION
INDUSTRY AS IT TRIES TO WOO THE
CURVIER CUSTOMER.
DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Andrew: COMING UP NEXT ON
"THE NATIONAL," OUR "MOMENT OF
THE DAY."
BUT FIRST, AN ONTARIO TEEN IS
SHOWING THE WORLD IT'S NOT JUST
AMERICANS THAT HAS TALENT.
>> MY NAME IS JEFFREY LI.
I'M 13 YEARS OLD.
>> Andrew: HE SAID HE KNOWS WHAT
HE WOULD DO WITH THE
MILLION-DOLLAR PRIZE IF HE WINS.
>> I'M AN ONLY CHILD, SO I WOULD
LOVE A COMPANION, SO I GUESS A
DOG.
>> Andrew: NO PRESSURE.
JEFFREY DID GET A SMALL WIN, A
PROMISE FROM MOGUL AND JUDGE,
SIMON COWELL.
>> IF YOU DO WELL, I'M GOING TO
BUY YOU A DOG.
(*)
>> Andrew: JEFFREY'S RENDITION
OF JOSH GROBAN'S "YOU RAISE ME
UP" WON THE CROWD OVER.
(*)
AND EARNED HIM A SPOT IN THE
NEXT ROUND OF COMPETITION, YES,
PLUS, A FURRY FRIEND.
>> NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE FOUR
YESES, YOU JUST GOT A NEW DOG.
>> Andrew: HE CAN'T SAY WHAT
HAPPENED IN ROUND TWO OR HOW FAR
HE GOT IN THE COMPETITION
BECAUSE IT HASN'T AIRED YET, BUT
FOR NOW, HE'S STILL WAITING FOR
THAT NEW DOG.
>> AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S NO
BARKING AROUND HERE.
(*)
>> Andrew: IN THE WAKE OF
TRAGEDY, PEOPLE LOOK FOR WAYS
THEY CAN HELP.
WE'VE SEEN IT WITH THE DANFORTH
SHOOTING THE NEXT WEEK, BUT ALSO
AFTER THE HUMBOLDT BRONCOS BUS
CRASH.
THAT'S WHEN A BUSINESS OWNER
MADE T-SHIRTS WITH A SIMPLE
IMAGE, "WE ARE HUMBOLDT STRONG."
NOW HE HAS A CHEQUE TO PRESENT
AND THAT'S OUR "MOMENT OF THE
DAY."
>> WHEN WE DECIDED TO LAUNCH THE
CAMPAIGN, WE THOUGHT WE WOULD
PRINT JUST A FEW HUNDRED SHIRTS.
>> OVER THE COURSE OF THE FIRST
THREE WEEKS OF APRIL, WE WERE
SELLING THOUSANDS OF T-SHIRTS
ON-LINE.
>> WE HAVE SHIPPED TO EVERY
PROVINCE IN CANADA, ALMOST EVERY
STATE IN THE UNITED STATES,
OTHER COUNTRIES LIKE DUBAI,
FINLAND, SWITZERLAND, GERMANY,
AND SO MANY MORE.
>> WE KNOW THE T-SHIRT MEANS A
LOT TO PEOPLE OUT THERE.
IT'S A WAY TO HONOUR THE
VICTIMS.
SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE
HAVE A CHEQUE FOR $304,239.90 TO
THE HUMBOLDT STRONG COMMUNITY
FOUNDATION.
>> Andrew: $300,000, SO THAT'S
DONATING $20 ON EVERY $25 SHIRT.
YOU DO THE MATH, THAT'S A LOT OF
SHIRTS.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR THIS
JULY 27.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
