>> Adrienne: THIS IS ONE OF
THE BIGGEST MIGRATIONS ON EARTH
RIGHT NOW.
MILLIONS ARE ON THE MOVE OUT OF
VENEZUELA.
THEY'RE NOT FLEEING WAR BUT THEY
ARE RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES.
MOST ARE COMING HERE TO COLOMBIA
BUT SOME HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THEY
WILL EVENTUALLY END UP.
AND SO AS VENEZUELA TEETERS,
THIS COUNTRY, COLOMBIA, STRAINS
UNDER THE PRESSURE AND OTHER
COUNTRIES, INCLUDING CANADA, ARE
SEIZED WITH HOW TO HELP.
TONIGHT STORIES OF PEOPLE ON THE
MOVE AND THE DEVASTATION THEY'RE
LEAVING BEHIND.
>> Ian: WE'RE ALSO DIGGING INTO
DOUG FORD'S PROMISE TO USE A
CONTROVERSIAL CONSTITUTIONAL
MEASURE TO CUT THE SIZE OF
TORONTO CITY COUNCIL.
WHY IS HE DOING IT?
AND WHERE DOES IT LEAVE A
MILLION VOTERS WEEKS BEFORE AN
ELECTION?
>> Andrew: AND "THE NATIONAL"
IN-DEPTH.
THEY SURVIVED THE TORONTO VAN
ATTACK BUT IN AN INSTANT THEIR
LIVES WERE CHANGED FOREVER.
>> I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I DID... I
DECIDED THAT IT DIDN'T REALLY
HAPPEN TO ME.
>> Andrew: POWERFUL STORIES OF
RESILIENCE AND RECOVERY.
>>> THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
(*)
(*)
>> Adrienne: TONIGHT WE'RE IN
COLOMBIA, A COUNTRY BEARING THE
BRUNT OF A DESPERATE GROWING
EXODUS.
JUST NEXT DOOR, ONLY A FEW
KILOMETRES AWAY, VENEZUELA IN
CHAOS AND ITS ECONOMY IN
FREEFALL.
A FEW MONTHS AGO 2,000 PEOPLE A
DAY WERE CROSSING INTO COLOMBIA.
ACCORDING TO ONE AID GROUP IT'S
NOW
LIKELY 5,000.
THIS BORDER CITY IS CALLED
CÚCUTA, A MAJOR ENTRY POINT INTO
COLOMBIA.
THOSE WHO CROSS THIS BRIDGE ARE
PART OF THE LARGEST MASS
MIGRATION EVER IN LATIN AMERICA.
THE U.N. ESTIMATES THAT
2.3 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE FLED
VENEZUELA IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS
AND IT COULD SOON RIVAL SYRIA
FOR DRIVING OUT ITS OWN PEOPLE.
THE BIG DIFFERENCE?
THERE'S NO WAR IN VENEZUELA,
JUST POVERTY AND MISERY BORN OF
CORRUPTION.
>> SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG WHEN
CITIZENS OF AN OIL-RICH COUNTRY
HAVE TO LEAVE IN ORDER TO BEG ON
COLOMBIAN STREETS TO FEED THEIR
CHILDREN.
THAT "SOMETHING" IS THE
CORRUPTION OF THE MADURO REGIME.
>> Adrienne: TODAY THE U.N.
SECURITY COUNCIL HELD A SPECIAL
SESSION ENGINEERED BY THE U.S.
TO ADDRESS THE CRISIS AND ITS
IMPLICATIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL
PEACE AND SECURITY.
NOT SO LONG AGO CARACAS WAS A
BUSTLING CAPITAL.
VENEZUELA'S BOOMING OIL INDUSTRY
MADE IT LATIN AMERICA'S RICHEST
COUNTRY.
BUT THE GOVERNMENT BET
EVERYTHING
ON OIL, THE ONLY REAL INDUSTRY
THAT MATTERED.
90% OF WHAT VENEZUELANS CONSUMED
WAS IMPORTED AND PAID FOR BY OIL
MONEY.
SO WHEN THE OIL PRICES
COLLAPSED, THE MONEY DRIED UP,
EVEN AS DIRTY OFFICIALS SKIMMED
WHAT WAS LEFT FOR THEMSELVES.
BOILING RAGE HAS NOW TURNED TO
RESIGNATION THAT EVERYDAY LIFE
IS JUST UNLIVABLE.
WITH NO MONEY FOR MEDICINE, SOME
ARE DYING OF TREATABLE
ILLNESSES.
THIS YEAR THE INFLATION RATE IS
PROJECTED TO HIT AN IMPOSSIBLE
ONE MILLION PERCENT.
THE OLD CURRENCY SO BEREFT OF
VALUE THAT SOME VENEZUELANS TURN
IT INTO SOUVENIRS TO SELL HERE
IN COLOMBIA.
SO HOW BAD IS IT REALLY THAT
PEOPLE ARE MAKING THE CHOICE IN
SUCH HUGE NUMBERS TO FLEE?
THAT'S WHAT WE CAME HERE TO FIND
OUT.
THE BREAK OF DAWN IS DEPARTURE
TIME ON THE BRIDGE LINKING A
COLLAPSING VENEZUELA WITH A
COLOMBIA STRAINING UNDER THE
BURDEN OF THE NEW DAWN.
VENEZUELANS GETTING OUT, FOR
GOOD OR MAYBE JUST FOR A WHILE.
DIRE DEEDS THAT HAVE BECOME
ROUTINE.
THEY'VE DONE WITHOUT VACCINES,
ESSENTIAL MEDICATION AND FOOD.
DISEASES ONCE THOUGHT ERADICATED
ARE BACK.
PEOPLE KEEP COMING AND COLOMBIA
KEEPS ADJUSTING.
YOU CAN SEE SOME PEOPLE HERE
WITH EXPIRED PASSPORTS AND
THAT'S BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A
PAPER AND THE ANCHORS AND THE
MONEY TO GET NEW PASSPORTS.
AND COLOMBIA AND ECUADOR AND
PERU ALL HAD TO ACCEPT IF THEY
SEE VENEZUELANS WITH EXPIRED
PASSPORTS THEY JUST HAVE TO LET
THEM IN BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE
HAVE NO CHOICE.
HOW BAD MUST IT BE TO HAVE NO
CHOICE?
THIS BAD.
WITH THE HELP OF A COLLEAGUE IN
VENEZUELA CBC GOT ACCESS TO
IMAGES OF LIFE THERE JUST THIS
WEEKEND.
ALL THOSE CARS ARE WAITING FOR
GAS.
IT TOOK THREE MINUTES TO RIDE
ALONGSIDE THE LINEUP TO FIND ITS
END.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Adrienne: SOME WAIT AND BUY
NOTHING OR WHAT THEY FIND THEY
CAN'T AFFORD.
THAT FLAT OF 30 EGGS?
RARE TO SEE, HARDER TO BUY.
WITH DAILY LIMITS ON A.T.M.
WITHDRAWALS IT WOULD TAKE SIX
DAYS TO GET THE CASH TO PAY FOR
THE EGGS, IF YOU HAD THE MONEY.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Adrienne: HOSPITAL WARDS
THAT AREN'T CLOSED ARE
DANGEROUSLY ILL-EQUIPPED AND
FILTHY.
NO WATER IN THE SINKS, BUT IT'S
DRIPPING FROM THE CEILINGS IN
THE DIALYSIS AREA.
THERE AREN'T DRUGS NOR SUPPLIES.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU'RE SICK?
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU'RE ISABELLE?
WE MET HER ON THE BORDER CITY,
OUT OF VENEZUELA FOR FIVE MONTHS
AND NOT IN GREAT SHAPE.
NEITHER IS HER LITTLE ONE.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Adrienne: REMEMBER WHAT I
TOLD YOU, HER MOM SAYS, WHEN ONE
DOOR CLOSES, ANOTHER ONE OPENS.
ISABELLE LEFT BECAUSE SHE
COULDN'T GET CARE FOR HER
OVARIAN CANCER.
THE COLOMBIANS HELPED OUT,
SHE'S JUST HAD MORE SURGERY ON
HER KIDNEYS AND NEEDS CHEMO AND
RADIATION BUT SHE CAME TO THIS
CHURCH SHELTER LOOKING FOR
GUIDANCE ABOUT HER HEALTH CARE
AND DIDN'T FIND ANY ANSWERS.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Adrienne: I FEEL VERY
VULNERABLE, SHE SAYS, I'D LIKE
TO GIVE ME CHILDREN MANY THINGS,
BUT I CAN'T.
I CAN'T WORK IN MY CONDITION.
QUIET ROXIEBELLE, SHE'S
INTELLIGENT, HER MOM SAYS, BUT
NOT IN SCHOOL.
THAT MEANS MONEY FOR
FOOD AND BOOKS.
COLOMBIA DOESN'T HAVE A SHELTER
SYSTEM IN PLACE SO MANY ARE ON
THEIR OWN NOW.
HOW DOES ISABELLE FARE AT NIGHT?
THIS IS IT, TWO ROOMS SHARED
WITH SIX PEOPLE.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Adrienne: UNLIKE OTHERS I
WOULD HAVE STAYED IN VENEZUELA,
I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE, SHE
SAID.
BUT TO JUST LIVE, THEN SHE HAD
TO LEAVE.
NO WATER, NOWHERE REALLY TO
SLEEP AND CERTAINLY NO PLACE TO
RECOVER FROM CANCER.
BUT THIS IS LIFE ON THE RUN FROM
A STATE ONCE DRIPPING IN OIL AND
WEALTH.
VENEZUELA HAS TRIED TO REASSURE
ITS PEOPLE ALL WILL BE JUST FINE
AND IT HAS A PLAN.
STARTING SEPTEMBER 1st, THE
GOVERNMENT INCREASED THE MINIMUM
WAGE TO 34 TIMES ITS PREVIOUS
VALUE.
THERE ARE DEEP SUSPICIONS ABOUT
WHETHER THAT WILL WORK, BUT
HERE'S THE MOST AUDACIOUS MOVE
OF ALL -- THE GOVERNMENT ISSUED
A NEW BANKNOTE BY TAKING THE OLD
ONE AND JUST LOPPING OFF FIVE
ZEROS.
BUT WHAT GIVES IT ANY
VALUE?
MADURO PINNED HIS HOPES ON A
DIGITAL BUZZ WORD.
THERE WAS ORCHESTRATED FANFARE
IN FEBRUARY WHEN PRESIDENT
MADURO BLESSED HARD DRIVES AND
ANNOUNCED HIS PLAN TO SAVE THE
ECONOMY.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Reporter: THE PETRO, A
GOVERNMENT-SANCTIONED
CRYPTOCURRENCY AND IF YOU DON'T
KNOW HOW THOSE WORK, SPARE A
THOUGHT FOR MILLIONS OF
VENEZUELANS WHO ARE IN THE SAME
BOAT.
NEVERTHELESS, MADURO TIED THE
COUNTRY'S WAGES AND PENSIONS TO
THIS
DIGITAL CURRENCY, BUT THE PITCH
WAS REALLY AIMED AT
INTERNATIONAL INVESTORS, BUY A
PETRO AND GET DIGITAL DOLLARS
THAT ARE SECURE, VERIFIABLE AND
FREE OF CENTRAL BANK
MANIPULATION.
THE TWIST, AS ITS NAME SUGGESTS
IS THAT A PETRO IS BACKED BY
SOMETHING IN THE REAL WORLD --
OIL.
SPECIFICALLY THE GOVERNMENT SAYS
THAT FIVE BILLION BARRELS OF OIL
RESERVES IN NORTHEAST VENEZUELA.
SOUNDS PROMISING, BUT --
>> THE PETRO DOESN'T APPEAR
ACTUALLY TO EXIST.
>> Adrienne: BRIAN ELLSWORTH
IS A REUTERS JOURNALIST AND HE
VISITED THE REGION AND FOUND NO
SIGNS OF OIL PRODUCTION.
WHAT HE DID FIND IS HUNGRY
PEOPLE FORCE FED THIS MYTHICAL
MONEY.
>> WE ENDED UP WALKING INTO THE
SCHOOL.
THIS TEACHER SAID THAT THIS
SITUATION IS SO SEVERE THAT KIDS
DON'T EAT AT HOME ANYMORE, WHICH
MEANS THEY STOP COMING TO SCHOOL
AND, BY THE WAY, I GOT THIS CALL
FROM THE EDUCATION MINISTRY THAT
SAID THAT NOW WE NEED TO EXPLAIN
TO OUR CHILDREN WHAT VIRTUES OF
THE PETRO ARE.
AND SHE SAID TO ME, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT A PETRO IS.
>> Adrienne: BEYOND WIDESPREAD
CONFUSION ELLSWORTH SAYS THAT
THE PETRO IS NOT EXCHANGED AND
IT'S NOT USED IN SHOPS.
FEW PEOPLE EVEN OWN IT.
THE SUGGESTION?
IT'S ALL A FUNDRAISING SCHEME.
>> THEY DO APPEAR TO HAVE RAISED
MAYBE $150,000, I THINK THAT IS
A FRACTION OF WHAT YOUR AVERAGE
CRYPTO SCAM CAN RAISE.
SO, YEAH, THEY MADE A FEW BUCKS
OFF OF IT AND IT'S NOT
SIGNIFICANT MONEY FOR A COUNTRY
OF THIS SIZE.
>> Adrienne: MAYBE IT'S THE
ATTEMPT BY A GOVERNMENT BANKING
ON THE OLD DEVOTION OF OIL TO
FOOL VENEZUELANS OF A FLASHY NEW
TREND.
IF DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THEY'RE
BUYING IT.
TODAY CANADIAN OFFICIALS
ATTENDED MEETINGS AT THE U.N. TO
TALK
ABOUT SOLUTIONS TO THE
VENEZUELAN CRISIS AND WE ASKED
HOW THIS COUNTRY IS HELPING WITH
REAL CURRENCY.
GLOBAL AFFAIRS CANADA SAID THAT
IT IS PROVIDING $900,000 IN
FUNDING.
SOME OF THAT WILL GO TOWARDS
MONITORING AND REPORTING ON
HUMAN RIGHTS AND GIVING SUPPORT
TO HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS.
THE REST WILL HELP TO BRING
TOGETHER VENEZUELAN EXPERTS TO
WORK ON SOME KIND OF NEGOTIATED
SOLUTION TO THE CRISIS.
>> Andrew: SO, ADRIENNE, YOU
HAVE GIVEN US A CLEAR SENSE OF
THE SCALE OF THIS PROBLEM AND
IT'S STAGGERING.
TELL US, WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON
FOR TOMORROW?
>> Adrienne: WELL, WE HAVE
BEEN LISTENING TO PEOPLE TALK
ABOUT HARD NUMBERS, YOU KNOW,
5,000 COMING ACROSS EVERY DAY AS
OPPOSED TO 2,000.
IT'S BEEN OCCURRING TO US IN A
WAY IT DOESN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE
BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE
PEOPLE WHO CROSS OFFICIALLY ON
THE BORDER, THEY'RE BEING
COUNTED.
BUT WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING PEOPLE
CROSS THE RIVER AND COMING
THROUGH THE BUSH AND NO ONE IS
COUNTING THEM.
THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR THE
COLOMBIAN AUTHORITIES, BECAUSE
HAVE THEY BEEN VACCINATED AND
HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE THEY DON'T
DISAPPEAR INTO THE UNDERWORLD
HERE AND WHO IS LOOKING AFTER
THEM, WHERE WILL THEY GO?
SO WE'LL LOOK AT THAT AND ALSO
LOOK AT
THE SMUGGLING OPERATIONS THAT
HAVE SPRUNG UP.
IT'S AMAZING.
VENEZUELANS, WE HAVE WATCHED
THEM BRINGING THINGS LIKE CAR
PARTS AND MEAT
HERE, YOU KNOW, MEAT THAT IS NOT
AVAILABLE THERE IN VENEZUELA BUT
BRINGING IT HERE TO COLOMBIA AND
SELLING IT FOR HARD CURRENCY TO
TAKE BACK TO VENEZUELA.
>> Andrew: WELL, ADRIENNE, A
LOT TO WATCH FOR, THAT'S FOR
SURE.
>>> HERE'S WHAT ELSE WE'RE
WORKING ON TONIGHT ON "THE
NATIONAL"...
>>> MORE THAN A YEAR AFTER A
13-YEAR-OLD GIRL WAS KILLED,
APPARENTLY AT RANDOM JUST STEPS
FROM HER HOME, POLICE IN
BURNABY, B.C., HAVE MADE AN
ARREST.
>> Ian: PLUS, LIVING A CHANGED
LIFE IN THE WAKE OF A HORRIFIC
ATTACK.
IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS BRINGS US THE
STORY OF SURVIVORS DEALING WITH
TRAUMA BUT DETERMINED TO LIVE.
FOUR MONTHS AFTER THAT DEADLY
VAN ATTACK IN TORONTO.
>>> FIRST, AN UNPRECEDENTED MOVE
BY THE PREMIER OF ONTARIO.
JUST WEEKS BEFORE PEOPLE HERE IN
TORONTO ARE SUPPOSED TO CAST
BALLOTS, A SURPRISING TWIST.
THE ONTARIO SUPERIOR COURT RULED
THAT THE
PROVINCE CROSSED THE LINE AFTER
THE CAMPAIGN HAD BEGUN.
THEY CALLED THAT MOVE
"UNCONSTITUTIONAL."
THE PREMIER THOUGH IS NOT
BACKING DOWN.
>> I BELIEVE THAT THE JUDGE'S
DECISION IS DEEPLY CONCERNING.
I WANT TO REPEAT THAT.
I BELIEVE THAT THE JUDGE'S
DECISION IS DEEPLY, DEEPLY
CONCERNING, AND THE RESULT IS
UNACCEPTABLE TO THE PEOPLE OF
ONTARIO.
>> Ian: SO IN ANOTHER BOLD MOVE
OF
HIS OWN, DOUG FORD SAYS THAT HIS
GOVERNMENT IS INVOKING THE
RARELY USED NOTWITHSTANDING
CLAUSE.
WHICH WOULD ALLOW HIS GOVERNMENT
TO OVERRIDE PARTS OF THE
CHARTER.
SO WHY USE IT NOW?
THE CBC'S RON CHARLES TAKES A
LOOK.
>> HE'S A BULLY...
>> Reporter: THE PROFESSOR
KNOWN AS THE DEAN OF CANADIAN
POLITICAL
SCIENCE SAYS THAT THERE'S A
REASON THAT GOVERNMENTS HAVE SO
RARELY USED THE NOTWITHSTANDING
CLAUSE.
PETER RUSSELL SAYS THAT THE
CHARTERS' CREATORS PUT THE
CLAUSE IN, NEVER ANTICIPATING A
LEADER LIKE DOUG FORD.
>> IT REALLY WAS DESIGNED FOR AN
AGE WHEN OUR LEADERS WERE
LIBERAL DEMOCRATS WHO RESPECTED
THE RULE OF LAW.
HERE WE HAVE A MAN WHO DOES NOT
RESPECT THE RULE OF LAW.
>> Reporter: BUT FORD ACCUSES
JUDGES OF NOT RESPECTING THE
LAWS OF THE ELECTED LEGISLATURE.
>> HE'S THE JUDGE, I'M THE
PREMIER.
HE GETS TO USE HIS TOOLS AND
I'LL USE EVERY SINGLE TOOL TO
STAND UP FOR THE PEOPLE OF
ONTARIO.
>> Reporter: IT'S A POSITION
PROMOTED BY POPULIST LEADERS
AROUND THE
WORLD AND EMBRACED BY
SUPPORTERS.
>> FROM A POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE
I THINK THAT PREMIER FORD IS
HAPPY TO HAVE THE FANCY PEOPLE
AND THE UNELECTED JUDGES AGAINST
HIM AND THE PEOPLE WITH HIM.
>> Reporter: SOME OF THE
PEOPLE AGAINST HIS PLAN WERE
LEFT STUNNED BY HIS LATEST MOVE.
>> THAT HE'D BE WILLING TO USE
THIS AGAIN IF THE COURTS GOT IN
HIS WAY.
AND THAT IS FRIGHTENING.
THE CONSTITUTION AND
PARTICULARLY THE CHARTER PROTECT
THE RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS.
>> Reporter: ONE CITY
COUNCILLOR RUNNING FOR
RE-ELECTION APPEALED TO THE
PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVIVE
LEGISLATORS.
>> PLEASE, YOU NEED TO BE ABLE
TO RECOGNIZE THAT NOT ONLY ARE
YOU TORCHING THE BRAND OF YOUR
PARTY, BUT YOU ARE GOING TO GO
DOWN IN THE HISTORY BOOKS FOR
DOING ALL OF THE WRONG THINGS,
FOR INFRINGING ON PEOPLE'S
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
>> Reporter: TORONTO'S MAYOR
ASKED WHY FORD IS TURNING TO
SUCH DRASTIC MEASURES.
>> THIS INVOCATION OF THE
NOTWITHSTANDING CLAUSE IS A
MISTAKE, IT IS AN OVERREACH, IT
IS USING A SLEDGEHAMMER ON A
FLY.
AND IN TERMS OF THE SIZE OF THE
ISSUE INVOLVED HERE...
>> Reporter: THE MAYOR WILL
MEET WITH THE CITY'S LAWYERS BUT
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ONCE THE
SLEDGEHAMMER HAS FALLEN THAT
THERE'S NOTHING THAT THE COURTS
CAN DO.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> Reporter: RON CHARLES, CBC
NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Ian: LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
NOW AT THE NOTWITHSTANDING
CLAUSE AND WHERE IT CAME FROM
AND WHY THE GOVERNMENTS WERE
GIVEN THIS POWER.
HERE'S "THE BRIEF."
>> I'LL USE EVERY SINGLE TOOL TO
STAND UP FOR THE PEOPLE OF
ONTARIO...
(*)
>> Ian: ONE OF THOSE "TOOLS,"
THE NOTWITHSTANDING CLAUSE.
SECTION 33 OF THE CHARTER OF
RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.
IT ALLOWS FEDERAL AND PROVINCIAL
GOVERNMENTS TO PASS LAWS
OVERRIDING THE CHARTER.
SO EVEN IF THOSE LAWS CONTRAVENE
BASIC INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS THE
COURT CAN'T OVERTURN THEM.
SO WHY IS IT THERE?
WELL, WHEN THE CHARTER WAS
DEEMED DRAFTED IT WAS A
LAST-MINUTE COMPROMISE TO GET
THE WESTERN PREMIERS TO SIGN ON.
THEY WERE WORRIED THAT THE
JUDGES WOULD OVERRULE THE
POPULAR WILL.
>> IF EVER THE JUDICIARY GOES
BESERK THERE'S ALWAYS THAT
CLAUSE, IT'S A PLUG AND YOU PULL
THE PLUG.
>> Ian: PROVINCES ARE ALLOWED TO
USE IT WITH A VOTE IN THE
LEGISLATURE BUT IT IS PRETTY
RARE.
IT'S ONLY BEEN INVOKED ABOUT A
DOZEN TIMES IN HISTORY.
FOR EXAMPLE, TO OVERRIDE A COURT
RULING ABOUT FRENCH LANGUAGE
RIGHTS IN QUÉBEC.
AND SASKATCHEWAN USED IT TO
PROTECT BACK-TO-WORK
LEGISLATION.
>> IT'S UNLIKELY EVER TO BE USED
EXCEPT IN NONCONTROVERSIAL
CIRCUMSTANCES.
>> Ian: CHRETIEN PLAYED A MAJOR
ROLE IN NEGOTIATING THE CLAUSE.
HE DOUBTED THE GOVERNMENTS WOULD
USE IT MUCH BECAUSE --
>> IT WILL BE POLITICALLY VERY
DIFFICULT FOR THE GOVERNMENT
WITHOUT A VERY GOOD REASON TO
INTRODUCE A MEASURE.
>> Ian: IT'S ALWAYS BEEN VIEWED
AS A LAST RESORT BECAUSE
RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT
CANADIANS GENERALLY SUPPORT THE
CHARTER.
AND OVERRIDING IT TO PUSH
THROUGH LAWS WAS CONSIDERED TO
BE POLITICALLY RISKY.
TO HELP TO PUT THIS IN
PERSPECTIVE LET'S TURN TO
CARISSMA MATHEN, A
CONSTITUTIONAL LAW EXPERT AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA.
YOUR REACTION, FIRST OF ALL, TO
WHAT PREMIER FORD HAS PROMISED
TO DO?
>> WELL, I WASN'T AS SURPRISED
BY THE IDEA THAT HE WOULD INVOKE
THE NOTWITHSTANDING CLAUSE,
ALTHOUGH IT IS A REALLY BIG MOVE
FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF ONTARIO TO
DO THIS.
IT'S NEVER DONE IT BEFORE IN THE
ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE CHARTER.
I WAS THOUGH SURPRISED BY,
FRANKLY, WHAT SEEMED TO BE A
FAIRLY CAVALIER ATTITUDE THAT HE
HAS TOWARDS THE CONSTITUTION.
AND THE WAY THAT HE KEPT
EMPHASIZING HIS LEGITIMACY
VERSUS APPOINTED JUDGES AS
THOUGH THERE'S SOME KIND OF
CONTEST.
AND IN ANY KIND OF CONTEST HE
SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY WIN.
I MEAN, THAT'S JUST NOT
CONSISTENT WITH HOW WE
UNDERSTAND THE RULE OF LAW.
>> Ian: NOT ONLY IS HE VOWING TO
INVOKE THE NOTWITHSTANDING
CLAUSE IN THIS CASE BUT HE SAYS
THAT HE'D BE
COMFORTABLE TO DO IT AGAIN.
LET'S LISTEN TO ANOTHER EXCERPT
FROM WHAT HE SAID EARLIER
TODAY...
>> I ALSO WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR
THAT WE'RE PREPARED TO USE
SECTION 33 AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.
WE'RE TAKING A STAND.
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE NEW LAWS IN
ONTARIO OR IN CANADA, YOU FIRST
MUST SEEK A MANDATE FROM THE
PEOPLE.
>> Ian: YOU KNOW, FOR A
GENERATION I THINK WE'VE BEEN
TAUGHT AND TOLD THAT PREMIERS
AND PRIME MINISTERS WOULD BE
VERY RELUCTANT TO USE THE
NOTWITHSTANDING CLAUSE BECAUSE
IT'S JUST SUCH A BIG STEP AND
THAT IT WOULD BE A POLITICAL
COST TO THAT.
BUT WHEN YOU HEAR THE PREMIER IN
THE BIGGEST PROVINCE IN THE
COUNTRY SPEAKING SO COMFORTABLY
ABOUT INVOKING THIS, DOES THAT
WORRY YOU THAT IT MIGHT HAVE AN
INFLUENCE ON OTHER LEADERS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY?
>> THE NOTWITHSTANDING CLAUSE
IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S A TOOL, IT
EXISTS IN THE CONSTITUTION, BUT
IT HAS BEEN TREATED FOR 35 YEARS
AS AN EXTRAORDINARY ACT.
NOT A ROUTINE ACT.
NOT A CASUAL ACT.
AND THE WORRY IS THAT THAT COULD
LEAD PEOPLE TO VIEW THE
NOTWITHSTANDING CLAUSE AS
SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD
REGULARLY BE INVOKING.
WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THIS IS
ABOUT OUR CONSTITUTION.
IT'S ABOUT THE FUNDAMENTAL
TENETS OF OUR SOCIETY AND WE
NEED TO BE REALLY CAREFUL TO
ADOPT A DISMISSIVE ATTITUDE OR
THE IDEA THAT THE CONSTITUTION
DOESN'T REALLY MATTER AS LONG AS
YOU HAVE AN ELECTORAL MANDATE TO
DO THINGS.
>> Ian: WE HAVE JUST A FEW
SECONDS BUT LET ME JUST ASK YOU
THIS... ONE OF THE REASONS THAT
HE SAYS HE'S USING IT IN THIS
CASE IS THAT THIS IS A BAD
DECISION BY THE JUDGE.
HIS CONSTITUTIONAL EXPERTS TELL
HIM THAT.
WHAT IS YOUR SENSE OF THIS
DECISION IN THE CITY COUNCIL
SEATS?
>> I THINK THAT THERE ARE SOME
-- YOU KNOW, WEAKER ASPECTS TO
THE DECISION.
NORMALLY THE WAY THAT YOU SETTLE
THAT IS THAT YOU GO THROUGH AN
APPEAL PROCESS AND YOU, IN FACT,
HAVE A HIGHER COURT WEIGH IN.
SO WHILE, AGAIN, HE'S WITHIN HIS
AUTHORITY TO DO THIS, THE
CONSTITUTION GIVES HIM THAT
AUTHORITY, I THINK THAT THE
LANGUAGE AND THE IDEAS THAT HE'S
INVOKING ARE REALLY THE BIGGER
STORY HERE.
>> Ian: CARISSIMA MATHEN, THANK
YOU VERY MUCH.
>> YOU'RE WELCOME.
>> Andrew: AND WE'RE LIVE
TONIGHT AND KEEPING OUR EYES ON
DEVELOPING STORIES, INCLUDING
FLORENCE, THE MAJOR HURRICANE
HEADING STRAIGHT FOR THE U.S.
COASTLINE.
>> BUT WE ARE NOT GOING TO
GAMBLE WITH THE LIVES OF THE
PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
NOT A ONE.
>> Andrew: SOUTH CAROLINA'S
GOVERNOR TODAY IS ANNOUNCING
MANDATORY EVACUATIONS FOR THE
STATE'S ENTIRE COASTLINE.
THEY'RE TAKING NO CHANCES AS
FLORENCE, NOW A POWERFUL
CATEGORY 4 STORM CHURNS CLOSER.
IT'S EXPECTED TO HIT THE U.S. ON
THURSDAY.
>>> WE'LL BE WATCHING FOR SIGNS
OF A NAFTA BREAKTHROUGH TOMORROW
AS FOREIGN AFFAIRS MINISTER
CHRYSTIA FREELAND RETURNS TO
WASHINGTON.
THE HOPE IS TO HAVE A DEAL IN
HAND BY THE END OF THE MONTH SO
IT CAN GO TO CONGRESS BEFORE
ELECTIONS IN NOVEMBER.
>>> STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL"... SHOULD A UNION BE
ALLOWED TO NAME AND SHAME
REPLACEMENT WORKERS?
WHY ONE OF CANADA'S BIGGEST
UNIONS IS MAKING NO APOLOGIES
FOR A CONTROVERSIAL AD.
>> Ian: AND WE GO IN-DEPTH
FOLLOWING UP ON THE STORIES FROM
THAT DEADLY ATTACK IN TORONTO.
IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS MEETS THE TWO
WOMEN WHO WERE IN THE PATH OF
THAT VAN AND FINDS OUT HOW
THEY'RE COPING.
>> MY MOM HAS ALWAYS BEEN A
SURVIVOR AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S
JUST THE WAY SHE DOES THINGS.
IT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST,
CRUELEST THINGS THAT YOU EVER
HAD TO OVERCOME OR SURVIVE AND
YET HERE SHE IS STILL HERE,
STILL DOING IT.
>> Andrew: IT WAS A HEINOUS
AND APPARENTLY RANDOM CRIME THAT
SHOOK BURNABY, B.C.
13-YEAR-OLD MARRISA SHEN WAS
KILLED STEPS FROM HER HOME AND
HER BODY FOUND IN A POPULAR
PUBLIC PARK.
TODAY, 14 MONTHS LATER, AN
ARREST, CHARGED WITH
FIRST-DEGREE MURDER, IBRAHIM
ALI.
AS RENÉE FILIPPONE REPORTS HE
HAD ONLY JUST ARRIVED IN
CANADA WHEN SHEN WAS KILLED.
>> Reporter: NEWS OF THE
ARREST TODAY IS RELIEF FOR THE
FAMILY OF 13-YEAR-OLD MARRISA
SHEN AND THE COMMUNITY ALL
LOOKING FOR ANSWERS.
FOR NOW POLICE WON'T SPEAK TO
MOTIVE OR HOW THEY NARROWED IN
ON IBRAHIM ALI.
>> WE STILL BELIEVE THAT THIS
CRIME WAS A RANDOM ACT, MEANING
THAT MARRISA DID NOT KNOW THE
SUSPECT AND VICE VERSA.
>> Reporter: ALI IS 28 YEARS
OLD.
HE CAME TO CANADA AS A REFUGEE
FROM SYRIA IN APRIL 2017, AND IS
NOW A PERMANENT RESIDENT LIVING
IN BURNABY.
>> HE WAS NOT KNOWN TO US, THE
POLICE.
HE DOES NOT HAVE A CRIMINAL
RECORD.
>> Reporter: SHEN WAS LAST
SEEN LEAVING HER APARTMENT ON A
JOOL EVENING IN 2017.
SHE WAS SPOTTED ON SURVEILLANCE
VIDEO MINUTES LATER AT
A TIM HORTON'S NEARBY.
NOT LONG AFTER HER BODY WAS
FOUND IN THE PARK RIGHT ACROSS
FROM HER HOME.
IN A STATEMENT HER FAMILY SAYS
THEY HOPE THAT SHE CAN FINALLY
BE AT PEACE IN HEAVEN.
>> WE HEAR ABOUT THIS NEWS AND
WE FEEL IT'S SUCH A BIG RELIEF.
>> Reporter: BUT FOR MEMBERS
OF THE LOCAL SYRIAN COMMUNITY
THERE ARE CONCERNS ABOUT HOW
THESE
CHARGES COULD CHANGE THE PUBLIC
PERCEPTION ABOUT REFUGEES.
>> THIS INCIDENT IS AN ISOLATED
INCIDENT.
IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT THERE ARE
SICK AND CRIMINAL PEOPLE OUT
THERE AND THESE PEOPLE CAN COME
FROM ANY COMMUNITY.
AND, OBVIOUSLY, THE SYRIAN
COMMUNITY IS NOT IMMUNE TO IT.
>> Reporter: A SENTIMENT THAT
POLICE ECHOED TODAY.
>> YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT BY AND
LARGE THAT OUR REFUGEES THAT
COME TO THE COUNTRY ARE
HARD-WORKING CITIZENS THAT ARE
VERY HAPPY TO BE IN CANADA.
>> Reporter: EVEN POLITICIANS
ARE CAUTIONING RESTRAINT.
CONSERVATIVE IMMIGRATION CRITIC
MICHELLE REMPEL TWEETING, "GIVEN
THAT DETAILS ARE STILL EMERGING
ABOUT THE ALLEGED MURDERER WHO
WAS CHARGED TODAY, WE ARE
MONITORING THE SITUATION
CLOSELY.
WE WILL SEEK ANSWERS REGARDING
THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE ON THE
MINDS OF CANADIANS TODAY."
A STATEMENT FROM PUBLIC SAFETY
CANADA SAYS THAT IT CANNOT
COMUMGD COMMENT ON THIS SPECIFIC
MATTER
BUT IT SAYS THAT "SAFETY AND
SECURITY ARE ALWAYS A TOP
PRIORITY AND THAT CANADA HAS A
ROBUST, MULTILAYERED APPROACH TO
REFUGEES."
THE ARREST MAY LEAD THE FAMILY
CLOSER TO JUSTICE AND ALLEVIATE
FEARS IN THE COMMUNITY BUT IT
STILL LEAVES MANY MORE QUESTIONS
UNANSWERED.

WARM DAY OF SPRING.
A RETIRED LIBRARIAN AND AVID

IT HAD ALREADY LEFT A TRAIL OF

IT WAS SO NICE OUT, THEY HAD
DECIDED TO WALK THE THREE BLOCKS
FROM THE APARTMENT THEY SHARED.
>> THERE WAS BLOOD EVERYWHERE,

SEVERE PAIN
AROUND MY FACE AREA.
I WAS LOOKING AROUND TO FIGURE
OUT AND THEN I SAW SOHE LYING ON
THE GROUND BESIDE ME.
HER CLOTHES AND HER FACE AND
EVERYTHING SEEMED SO FINE, BUT
SHE WAS JUST UNCONSCIOUS.
SO I THOUGHT THAT HE DIDN'T,
LIKE -- LIKE, I THOUGHT THAT
IT'S JUST TAKING A BIT OF MORE
TIME FOR HER TO WAKE UP.
BUT I DIDN'T KNOW, LIKE
SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED TO HER.
(*)

EVERY BONE IN HER FACE WAS
BROKEN.
IT WOULD BE DAYS BEFORE SHE
FOUND OUT THAT HER FRIEND SOHE
HAD DIED AT THE SCENE.
HOW WAS THAT WHEN YOU FOUND OUT?
>> UM...
>> Reporter: IT'S OKAY.
TAKE YOUR TIME.
>> MY FRIENDS AND MY PARENTS
THEY WERE LIKE SO WORRIED ABOUT
MY PHYSICAL CONDITION AND MY
PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITION SO THEY
HESITATED FOR PRETTY A LONG TIME
TO DECIDE WHETHER THEY SHOULD
TALK TO ME ABOUT IT OR NOT.
BUT THEN THEY CAME OUT WITH THE
DECISION TO TELL ME THE TRUTH.
AS SOON AS I HEARD THAT BAD NEWS
SHE HAD EXPIRED I STARTED
CRYING, JUST EVERYTHING.
I HAD THOUGHT OF SOHE, LIKE
SOMETHING HAPPENING TO SOHE BUT
I TRIED TO LIKE STOP MYSELF AND
I TRIED MY BEST TO NOT GIVE UP
ON HER OR TO LOSE MY HOPES.
(*)
ON HER OR TO LOSE MY HOPES.
(*)
>> Reporter: MICHAEL SMITH AND
HIS SISTER ALISON TRIED TO HOLD
ON TO THEIR HOPES FOR THEIR
MOTHER TOO.
TELLING THEMSELVES WHAT ARE THE
CHANCES.
LOOKING BACK IT SEEMS SO HOLLOW
A REASSURANCE.
>> SO I JUST PICKED UP THE PHONE
AND HE SAID, HAVE YOU SEEN
WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON ON TV AND I
AM LIKE, NO.
SO HE EXPLAINED THE WHOLE
SITUATION AND I SAID, WHAT ARE
THE CHANCES -- AS I ALWAYS SAY
-- WHAT ARE THE CHANCES.
I KNOW THAT IT'S OUTSIDE HER
BUILDING BUT THERE'S HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN TORONTO
WALKING AROUND, LIKE...
>> Reporter: BUT THEY COULDN'T
GET THROUGH TO THEIR MOM.
THE COLD ANSWER ARRIVED WHEN
OFFICERS SHOWED UP AT MICHAEL'S
DOOR TO TAKE HIM TO THE
HOSPITAL.
>> SHE WAS SO BEATEN UP, LIKE,
HER EYES WERE LIKE COMPLETELY
CLOSED.
AND THEN THEY TOLD ME THAT HER
LEGS HAD BEEN AMPUTATED AND I
JUST STARTED SCREAMING.
IT WAS HORRIBLE.
HORRIBLE.
>> Reporter: IT WOULD BE WEEKS
BEFORE BEVERLY COULD PROCESS,
COULD BELIEVE, WHAT HAPPENED.
>> I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I DID... I
DECIDED THAT IT DIDN'T REALLY
HAPPEN TO ME.
THAT'S HOW I COPE.
IT'S NOT REALITY TO ME.
BUT I'M GETTING BETTER.
I KNOW WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME
AND
I KNOW THAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH
IT, BUT I'VE GOT A LOT -- EVEN
THOUGH I'M ALMOST 82 I'VE STILL
GOT TIME TO LIVE AND ENJOY LIFE.
I'M GOOD.
(*)
>> WE WERE REALLY, REALLY CLOSE,
LIKE, BEST, BEST FRIENDS.
WE MET IN THE FIRST YEAR OF
UNIVERSITY AND WE STARTED LIVING
TOGETHER AS ROOMMATES FROM THE
SECOND YEAR.
YEAH, WE HAVE BEEN ROOMMATES
SINCE THEN.
>> Reporter: SO RA STILL
SPEAKS OF HER BEST FRIEND IN THE
PRESENT TENSE AND STILL CHASES
AWAY THE GUILT.
>> IF I TRY TO WAKE HER UP OR I
HAD SHOOK HER, THEN WOULD SHE
HAVE SURVIVED?
YEAH.
(*)
I THOUGHT THAT I WAS LIKE
ACCEPTING IT PRETTY WELL IN THE
BEGINNING, BUT THESE DAYS I
THINK THAT IT'S HARDER FOR ME TO
ACTUALLY THINK AND ACCEPT THE
FACT THAT SHE'S ACTUALLY GONE
FOREVER.
>> Reporter: DISBELIEF IS A
LINGERING COMPANION.
SO ARE THE PANIC ATTACKS.
OTHER THAN HER DOCTOR'S
APPOINTMENTS, SO RA RARELY GOES
OUT.
>> SHE HAD A FRACTURE OF HER
CHEEKBONE.
THESE ARE THE ORBITAL BONES.
HER UPPER JAW WAS BROKEN OFF AND
HER LOWER JAW WAS BROKEN.
A LOT OF FRACTURES.
>> Reporter: AND THERE ARE
INVISIBLE REMINDERS TOO.
>> BACK TO YOUR SYMMETRICAL
SELF.
WHEN I TOUCH YOU HERE DOES IT
FEEL THE SAME?
>> Reporter: SO RA HAD TO
UNDERGO SEVEN HOURS OF SURGERY
TO RECONSTRUCT HER FACE.
>> GOOD.
SO THE MAIN THING IS THAT IT
FEELS LIKE IT'S STIFFNESS IN
YOUR JAW MOVEMENT AND THAT'S THE
PROBLEM NOW, RIGHT?
FEELS LIKE IT'S STIFFNESS IN
YOUR JAW MOVEMENT AND THAT'S THE
PROBLEM NOW, RIGHT?
>> I STILL HAVE LIKE MORE THAN
10 METAL PLATES IN MY FACE RIGHT
NOW AND I HAVE TO KEEP THEM
FOREVER.
>> Reporter: WHEN YOU LOOK IN
THE MIRROR NOW DO YOU --
>> I DON'T SEE ANY DIFFERENCE.
THEY HAVE DONE SO A GREAT JOB.
>> Reporter: IT'S HARD TO
BELIEVE THAT YOUR ENTIRE FACE
WAS FRACTURED.
>> IF I DON'T TALK A LOT AT
FIRST NO ONE CAN NOTICE ABOUT
THE SURGERY.
AND I ONLY GOT THIS SCAR LEFT
FROM THE SURGERY BUT ALL OF THE
OTHER SUTURES WERE IN THE INSIDE
SO NO SCARS.
>> Reporter: FOR BEVERLY --
>> YOU REMEMBER WHAT DID YOU GET
FROM THAT?
>> Reporter: RECOVERY IS
COMPLICATED TOO.
>> PEOPLE WOULD TAKE HER IN...
>> Reporter: HER MEMORY, HER
COMPREHENSION, ARE NOT THE SAME
SINCE THE ATTACK.
>> I REALLY LOVE THAT YOU'RE
STARTING TO UNDERLINE.
IT'S A REALLY GREAT STRATEGY.
>> Reporter: SHE USED TO
DEVOUR BOOKS AND NOW SHE NEEDS
THERAPY TO FOLLOW A SIMPLE PLOT
LINE.
>> WHAT DO YOU FIND EASIER,
FOLLOWING THE STORY OR
JUST THE CHARACTERS?
>> THE CHARACTERS.
>> THE CHARACTERS?
OKAY.
>> Reporter: SHE'S GETTING
THERE BUT SOMETIMES SHE SEEMS TO
GO BACK.
>> LAST WEEK SHE ASKED ME IF SHE
WOULD EVER WEAR BOOTS AGAIN AND
THIS IS FIVE MONTHS LATER AND
SHE IS STILL CONFUSED ABOUT THAT
SORT OF THING.
IT'S HEARTBREAKING TO HAVE TO
ANSWER A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS.
>> Reporter: THE CONFUSING,
UNCLEAR REALITY TOO, WHAT NEXT.
BEVERLY IS LEAVING THIS REHAB
FACILITY SOON.
SHE CAN'T LIVE ALONE.
BOTH MICHAEL AND ALISON NEED TO
RENOVATE THEIR HOMES TO
ACCOMMODATE HER.
BUT EVERYTHING FROM A RAMP TO AN
ACCESSIBLE VEHICLE IS COSTLY.
AND BATTLES WITH THE INSURANCE
COMPANY ARE EXHAUSTING.
>> THIS IS AWE FUND FOR PEOPLE
LIKE ME, A CATASTROPHIC FUND AND
WHATEVER.
THERE'S ALL OF
THIS MONEY AND THEY'RE TELLING
ME HOW TO SPEND IT AND WHAT I
CAN HAVE AND WHAT I CAN'T HAVE.
THEY'RE ALL BASIC THINGS.
IT'S NOT A TRIP TO HAWAII OR A
CASTLE.
THIS IS TO MAKE MY LIFE LIVABLE
AND NORMAL.
>> Reporter: SO ARE YOU
NERVOUS ABOUT STARTING SCHOOL
AGAIN WITHOUT HER?
>> UM-HMM.
>> Reporter: BUT NOTHING IS
NORMAL.
SO RA IS BACK AT SCHOOL, BUT
WITHOUT HER BEST FRIEND.
AND THAT LOSS IS LIKE A SHARD
THAT CAN'T BE REMOVED.
SHE CAN ONLY LIVE AROUND IT.
DO YOU THINK AT ALL ABOUT THE
PERSON WHO DID THIS?
>> TO BE HONEST I TRY NOT TO
THINK ABOUT HIM BECAUSE I DON'T
WANT TO HAVE HIM TO HAVE ANY
POWER.
AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT I CAN
DO IN THIS SITUATION.
AND SO... AND IT'S A NEGATIVE
LOOP SO I TRY TO NOT THINK ABOUT
HIM.
>> Reporter: WHAT DO YOU HOPE
FOR FOR YOURSELF?
>> I'M HOPING TO BECOME MY
USUAL, LIKE MY USUAL -- MYSELF
AS BEFORE.
AND I'M GOING TO TRY MY BEST TO
ENJOY, DOUBLE ENJOY MY LIFE AND
LIVE HARDER FOR SOHE AND MYSELF,
FOR BOTH OF US.
(*)
>> FIRST AID TRAINING,
CELLPHONE...
>> Reporter: BEVERLY ALSO
REFUSES TO THINK OF THE MAN WHO
DROVE INTO HER, WHO DESTROYED
THE LIFE SHE KNEW.
SHE TRIES TO PICTURE HER FUTURE
INSTEAD.
SHE TRIES TO PICTURE HER FUTURE
INSTEAD.
WHEN YOU IMAGINE YOUR LIFE
MOVING FORWARD, WHAT DO YOU SEE?
>> WHEN I SEE MY LIFE MOVING
FORWARD I PICTURE IT FOR MY
CHILDREN.
THE CHILDREN GROWING, AND ALL OF
THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND JUST
GROWING UP.
IT'S MY FAMILY.
>> Ian: BEVERLY SMITH WILL GET
TO SPEND HER FIRST NIGHT OUT OF
THE HOSPITAL THIS WEEK.
THE FAMILY EXPECTS HER TO BE
RELEASED ON THURSDAY.
WHILE THEY'RE EXCITED TO HAVE
HER HOME THEY'RE ALSO ANXIOUS
ABOUT THE NEW CHALLENGES AHEAD.
>> Andrew: SPEAKING OF NEW
BEGINNINGS, THE HUMBOLDT BRONCOS
PLAY THEIR SEASON OPENER THIS
WEEK.
IT WILL BE THEIR FIRST HOME GAME
SINCE THAT HORRIFIC BUS CRASH
LAST APRIL, BUT
ONE OF THEIR TEAMMATES INJURED
IN THE CRASH, RYAN
STRASCHNITZKI, HAS ALREADY FOUND
HIS OWN WAY OF GETTING BACK ON
THE ICE.
STRASCHNITZKI PLAYED SLEDGE
HOCKEY FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN JULY.
IT WAS ANOTHER MOMENT OF
DISCOVERY IN A SUMMER PACKED
WITH DIFFERENT PHYSIOTHERAPY
SESSIONS BOTH HERE AND SOUTH OF
THE BORDER.
SUSAN ORMISTON HAS BEEN
FOLLOWING HIS JOURNEY TO
RECOVERY AND SHE'LL TELL US MORE
ABOUT IT TOMORROW NIGHT ON "THE
NATIONAL."
>> Reporter: THE SHRINERS
HOSPITAL IN PHILADELPHIA BECOMES
RYAN'S NEW TRAINING CAMP.
>> POOL TIME.
>> Reporter: INCLUDING A FIRST
SESSION IN THE POOL.
>> WARM, RIGHT?
>> Reporter: BUT THAT SENSE OF
WEIGHTLESSNESS FEELS LIKE
FREEDOM.
>> I'M GOING UNDER THIS TIME.
>> Reporter: EVEN IF HE'S
AFRAID THAT HE'LL SINK.
>> GOOD JOB.
>> HOW DOES IT FEEL?
>> GOOD.
(*
(*)
(*)
>> WE WILL LET THE I.C.C. DIE ON
ITS OWN.
AFTER ALL, FOR ALL INTENTS AND
PURPOSES THE I.C.C. IS ALREADY
DEAD TO US.
>> Andrew: TONIGHT ON "THE
NATIONAL," A SCATHING REBUKE
OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL
COURT FROM DONALD TRUMP'S
NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR, JOHN
BOLTON.
THE AMERICAN POSITION ON THE
I.C.C. HAS TENDED TO BE PRETTY
ADVERSAY AIAL, IT'S ONE OF THE
FEW COUNTRIES THAT ISN'T A
MEMBER, BUT BOLTON WENT A STEP
FURTHER AND THREATENING TO HIT
ITS JUDGES WITH SANCTIONS AND
EVEN FREEZING THEIR ASSETS IF
THEY GO AHEAD WITH AN
INVESTIGATION INTO ALLEGED U.S.
WAR CRIMES IN AFGHANISTAN.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Andrew: ALSO TONIGHT
REASSURING WORDS COMING FROM THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
AFTER THE DISCOVERY OF A SMALL
HOLE ON BOARD CAUSED BIG CONCERN
BACK HERE ON EARTH.
ON A VIDEO POSTED ONLINE A
RUSSIAN ASTRONAUT SHOWED OFF THE
PATCHED UP HOLE AND SAID
"EVERYONE IS OKAY AND ALL IS
CALM ON BOARD."
BUT THE STORY DOESN'T END THERE.
RUSSIA'S SPACE AGENCY IS
INVESTIGATING, HOPING TO RULE
OUT THE POSSIBILITY RAISED LAST
WEEK THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN
AN ACT OF SABOTAGE.
>> NOT HAPPY, SAD.
>> I DON'T LIKE IT.
I THINK THAT HE'S BEEN GOOD FOR
MONTRÉAL.
>> Andrew: THAT'S JUST SOME OF
THE REACTION FROM THE MONTRÉAL
CANADIEN FANS TO THE NEWS THAT
CAPTAIN
MAX PACIORETTY HAS BEEN TRADED.
THE HABS CONFIRMED TODAY THAT
AFTER MORE THAN A DECADE WITH
THE TEAM HE'S OFF TO THE VEGAS
GOLDEN KNIGHTS.
IN ITS PLACE THEY GET A SECOND
ROUND PICK AND TWO FORWARDS,
INCLUDING PROSPECT NICK SUZUKI.
>>> WELL, MANY ARE CALLING IT AN
INVASION OF PRIVACY, HARASSMENT
EVEN.
A NEW UNIFOR AD PUBLICLY SHAMES
REPLACEMENT WORKERS IN
NEWFOUNDLAND.
AFTER 630 DAYS THE PLIGHT OF 32
LOCKED OUT UNION WORKERS IN
GANDER WASN'T GETTING MUCH
ATTENTION.
THAT ALL CHANGED LAST WEEK WITH
THE RELEASE OF THAT VIDEO NAMING
AND SHAMING WORKERS WHO CROSSED
THE PICKET LINE.
BUT DID THE UNION CROSS THE LINE
TOO?
CHRIS O'NEILL-YATES TAKES A
CLOSER LOOK.
>> Reporter: AFTER MORE THAN
21 MONTHS ON THIS PICKET LINE AT
D-J COMPOSITES IN GANDER LITTLE
HAS CHANGED EXCEPT THE SEASONS.
THAT WAS UNTIL UNIFOR RELEASED
THIS VIDEO.
>> MY FIRST REACTION WAS INSTANT
FEAR.
>> Reporter: ADA-MAE ROGERS
SAYS THE UNION HAS CROSSED THE
LINE.
>> THEY'RE BULLYING US, THEY'RE
HARASSING US.
THEY'RE MAKING SURE THAT ALL OF
CANADA KNOWS THAT THIS IS THE
NAME AND
THIS IS THE FACE THAT GOES WITH
THAT NAME.
>> Reporter: THEY OUTED
REPLACEMENT WORKERS.
>> DO I HAVE PITY FOR THEM?
NO.
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THEY KNEW WHAT
THEY WERE GETTING INVOLVED WITH
WHEN THEY
TOOK THE JOB ON THE INSIDE.
>> Reporter: HOWEVER, REACTION
TO THE VIDEO ONLINE HAS BEEN
LARGELY NEGATIVE.
"WOW, FEEL ASHAMED, UNIFOR."
"PRETTY DISGUSTING APPROACH
HERE, FOLKS."
UNIFOR IS MAKING NO APOLOGIES.
THEY SAY THAT U.S.-BASED D-J
COMPENSATES HAS BEEN UPPING THE
NUMBER OF REPLACEMENT WORKERS
DURING THE LOCKOUT.
>> THEY ARE BEING USED BY THE
EMPLOYER
AND ALLOWING THEMSELVES TO
PROLONG THIS -- THIS DISPUTE.
>> Reporter: UNIFOR'S LANA
PAYNE SAYS THAT THE LABOUR
RELATIONS BOARD HAS TWICE FOUND
THE COMPANY TO BE BARGAINING IN
BAD FAITH.
>> IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS
THEIR BARGAINING AGENT AND THEIR
UNION TO RESPOND TO THESE
INCREASED TACTICS BY THE
EMPLOYER TO BUST THE UNION IN
GANDER.
>> Reporter: TOM COOPER
TEACHES BUSINESS ETHICS AT
MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY.
>> IT FELT ALMOST LIKE STALKING
WHEN I LOOKED AT THE AD AND
THAT'S WHY FOR ME FROM AN
ETHICAL STANDPOINT I GET THE
CONCERN.
>> Reporter: COOPER QUESTIONS
WHAT THE VIDEO WILL ULTIMATELY
ACCOMPLISH.
>> IS THIS GOING TO MAKE THE
AMERICAN OWNER MOVE ANY CLOSER
TO PROVIDING A RESOLUTION?
I'M NOT TOO SURE THAT IT DOES.
I THINK WHAT IT DOES IS IT
ACTUALLY TARGETS THESE WORKERS,
SCAB WORKERS, AND IT PUTS THEIR
POTENTIAL RIGHTS AND POTENTIAL
SAFETY IN SOME WAYS AT THREAT.
>> Reporter: THE VIDEO HAS
ACHIEVED ONE THING, SAYS COOPER.
>> WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ON IT ON
TV AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT ON
RADIO.
WE'RE ONCE AGAIN SEEING THE PAIN
AND THE SUFFERING THAT THOSE
LOCKED OUT WORKERS ARE GOING
THROUGH.
>> Reporter: BUT AS A THIRD
WINTER ON THE PICKET LINE LOOMS
FOR WORKERS, STILL NO THAW IN
THIS LOCKOUT, AT LEAST NOT YET.
CHRIS O'NEILL-YATES, CBC NEWS,
ST. JOHN'S.
>> Andrew: EMOTIONS CERTAINLY
RUN HIGH IN THESE SORT OF LONG,
BITTER LABOUR DISPUTES.
TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF HOW
THINGS CAN ESCALATE, TAKE A LOOK
AT THIS.
THE IMAGRY FOR ONE CAN BE PRETTY
EXTREME.
THE REPLACEMENT WORKERS
PORTRAYED AS VERMIN, THE LOWEST
OF THE LOW.
AND THE LANGUAGE CAN BE BRUTALLY
BE GRAPHIC.
CONSIDER HOW THE AIRLINES PILOTS
ASSOCIATION ONCE PUT IT AS THEY
POSTED A LIST OF
STRIKE-BREAKING FLIGHT CREWS
HAVING FANGS THAT DRIPPED WITH
YOUR BLOOD.
WILLINGLY DESTROYING FAMILIES,
LIVES AND CAREERS AT THE DROP OF
A HAT.
>> Ian: STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL," ON WORLD SUICIDE
PREVENTION DAY, A MOMENT OF
PAUSE AND REFLECTION IS OUR
"MOMENT OF THE DAY."
>> EVERY DAY IS A GIFT AND A
CURSE.
ONE DAY I MAY BE ABLE TO SMILE
ON ME OWN AGAIN.
BUT IN THE
MEANTIME I KNOW THAT TOMOR
>> Andrew: WELL, IT'S A
STARTLING NUMBER.
AN AVERAGE OF 10 PEOPLE DIE BY
SUICIDE IN THIS COUNTRY AND FOR
YEARS PEOPLE HAVE STRUGGLED IN
SILENCE, MANY STILL DO.
A NEW CAMPAIGN IS TRYING TO
CHANGE THAT.
TO MARK SUICIDE PREVENTION DAY,
THEY'RE ASKING PEOPLE TO FINISH
THE SENTENCE, "TOMORROW NEEDS ME
BECAUSE..." AND SHARE IT
ON-LINE.
>> YOU ARE LOVED.
YOU ARE NEEDED.
YOU ARE CHERISHED.
TOMORROW NEEDS YOU.
THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE
I'VE BEEN DOWN THAT HOLE AND I
MADE IT OUT.
I MADE IT OUT AND YOU CAN, TOO.
PLEASE KEEP FIGHTING.
>> EVERY DAY IS A GIFT AND A
CURSE.
ONE DAY I MAY BE ABLE TO SMILE
ON MY OWN AGAIN.
IN THE MEANTIME, I KNOW THAT
TOMORROW NEEDS ME.
AND SO I STAY.
TO MAKE TOMORROW A BETTER DAY.
THAT'S MY TOMORROW NEEDS YOU
MESSAGE THAT I POSTED ON
TWITTER.
IT MEANS A LOT TO ME BECAUSE I'M
CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH SOME
EMOTIONAL TIMES AND MENTAL
HEALTHCARE HAS HELPED ME A LOT.
>> THIS WORLD NEEDS WHAT YOU
HAVE.
WE NEED YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE
SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF.
TOMORROW NEEDS YOU.
>> Ian: THERE'S SO MUCH THAT'S
IMPORTANT BY THIS MESSAGE.
REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I HEARD
THIS AND THE UNWRITTEN RULE THAT
THE MEDIA AGREED TO THAT WE
WOULD NOT TALK ABOUT SUICIDE.
THE FEELING WAS THAT TALKING
ABOUT IT WOULD LEAD TO SOME
PEOPLE COMMITTING SUICIDE.
I THINK IT'S GOOD.
I KNOW IT'S GOOD THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT THIS.
>> Andrew: AND THERE'S THE
EXPRESSION THAT EVERY
CONVERSATION HAS TO START
SOMEWHERE.
AND PEOPLE CAN SAY WHAT THEY
WANT TO ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA,
ADVOCACY, ACTIVISM.
I SPENT A LITTLE TIME SEARCHING
THE #TOMORROWNEEDSYOU.
IT OFFERED SOME INSIGHT.
HOW MUCH HURT IS OUT THERE.
AND HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE MANAGED
TO OVERCOME IT AND WANT TO TAKE
A MOMENT TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE DO
THE SAME.
LOOK, IT'S STRIKING.
>> Ian: THIS IS NOT A BLEAK
MESSAGE.
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A MESSAGE
THAT THERE IS A REASON TO LIVE
FOR TOMORROW AND THERE'S LOTS OF
HELP FOR PEOPLE OUT THERE.
SO A GOOD WAY TO END TONIGHT'S
SHOW.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR
SEPTEMBER 10.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Andrew: GOOD NIGHT.
