>> ON THIS THURSDAY NIGHT.
>> IT CERTAINLY LOOKS THAT WAY
TO ME.
IT'S VERY SAD.
>> Adrienne: DONALD TRUMP SEEMS
TO ACCEPT THAT JAMAL KHASHOGGI
IS LIKELY DEAD.
SO WHY THE PRESIDENT'S RESPONSE
REMAINS WAIT AND SEE.
>> THEY SAID 12 WEEKS, WE GAVE
THEM 17.
>> ON DAY 2 OF LEGAL POT, THE
SHORTAGES, THE LINEUP AND THE
GROWING PAINS.
HOW LONG WILL CANADIAN CONSUMERS
PUT UP WITH ALL OF THAT?
>> I THINK WE'VE BEEN HOOD
WINKED.
>> Andrew: WHY BIG NAME ACTS
HAVE BIG QUESTIONS FOR
TICKETMASTER AFTER OUR
INVESTIGATION.
WHILE SOME ARTISTS ARE SEEING
RED, OTHERS MAY SEE OPPORTUNITY.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL".
>> Adrienne: IT TOOK LONG
ENOUGH, BUT DONALD TRUMP HAS
FINALLY COME TO THE SAME
CONCLUSION AS PRETTY NEAR
EVERYONE ELSE, THAT DISSENT
SAUDI JOURNALIST JAMAL KHASHOGGI
IS IN ALL LIKELIHOOD DEAD.
SO WHAT TO DO IF HE WAS INDEED
MURDERED BY A SAUDI
ASSASSINATION SQUAD?
THERE ARE DECIDEDLY MIXED
MESSAGES COMING OUT OF THE
UNITED STATES TONIGHT.
>> President Donald Trump: IT
CERTAINLY LOOKS THAT WAY TO ME,
VERY SAD.
>> Reporter: DONALD TRUMP FOR
THE FIRST TIME SAYING JAMAL
KHASHOGGI IS LIKELY DEAD.
AND THE POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES IS
THE SAUDIS ORDERED THE HIT.
>> WELL, IT WILL HAVE TO BE
SEVERE.
IT'S BAD, BAD STUFF.
>> Reporter: IT'S A SOMEWHAT
TOUGHER TONE FROM TRUMP AS
ACCUSATIONS OF SAUDI INVOLVEMENT
GROW LOUDER.
THEY PUBLISHED PHOTOS OF A MAN
WITH TIES TO THE CROWN PRINCE
OUTSIDE THE CONSULATE ON THE DAY
KHASHOGGI DISAPPEARED.
THEY SAY HE WAS KILLED BY AN
ASSASSINATION SQUAD INSIDE THE
BUILDING.
>> WE MAKE CLEAR WE TAKE THE
MATTER SERIOUSLY.
>> Reporter: BUT THE U.S. SEEMS
TO BE TREADING LIGHTLY WITH THE
SAUDIS.
>> THEY CONTINUE TO BE IMPORTANT
AS A PARTNER, THEY HAVE CUSTODY
OF THE TWO HOLY SITES.
THEY'RE IMPORTANT STRATEGIC
ALLIANCE OF THE UNITED STATES.
AND WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF
THAT AS WELL.
>> Reporter: TODAY, HUMAN RIGHTS
GROUPS CALLED FOR A UNITED
NATIONS INVESTIGATION AND FOR
THE U.S. TO DO MORE.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO SEE PRESIDENT
TRUMP, FOR EXAMPLE, SPEAK OUT
FORCEFULLY FOR MORE INFORMATION,
GETTING THE SAUDIS TO TELL US
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
GET THAT SIGNAL FROM THE TOP OF
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.
>> Reporter: TURKISH POLICE
CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE AND
THEY'VE EXPANDED THEIR SEARCH TO
A NEARBY FOREST LOOKING FOR
KHASHOGGI'S REMAINS.
>> Adrienne: SO ELLEN JOINS US
FROM WASHINGTON.
ELLEN, THE WHITE HOUSE SEEMS TO
BE DOING THIS ODD BALANCING ACT,
TRYING TO APPEAR TOUGH ON THE
SAUDIS, TRYING NOT TO HARM THE
RELATIONSHIP.
IS THERE ANYTHING MORE THE
UNITED STATES CAN DO?
>> THERE HAS BEEN TOUGH TALK
FROM SENATORS CALLING FOR
SANCTIONS.
BUT THE BIGGEST RESPONSE IS
TREASURY SECRETARY STEVEN
MNUCHIN PULLING OUT OF THE
ECONOMIC SUMMIT IN SAUDI ARABIA.
NOW, THAT IS NOT MUCH, BUT THE
U.S. SAYS IT WANTS TO SEE
FURTHER PROOF.
NOW TONIGHT, THERE IS AN
UNCONFIRMED REPORT THAT MIKE
POMPEO LISTENED TO AUDIO OF THE
KILLING.
UNTIL THAT TIME, WE'RE SEE AGO
BALANCING ACT BY THE
ADMINISTRATION.
>> Adrienne: ELLEN MAURO,
WASHINGTON TONIGHT, THANKS.
>> IT'S NOT LIKE MOHAMMAD BIN
SALMAN HASN'T ALREADY UNDERMINED
HIS OWN ENLIGHTENED IMAGE.
MBS HAS A RUTHLESS STREAK, BUT
FOR NOW AT LEAST DONALD TRUMP
SEEMS TO BE STICKING WITH HIM.
>> HE HAD A WHOLE SERIES OF
DISTURBING JUDGMENTAL LAPSES.
>> Adrienne: THE CROWN PRINCE
HAS PITCHED HIMSELF AS A HERO,
BUT NOW THERE IS A FEAR HE IS A
RADICAL TYRANT.
WHY DID TRUMP GO ALL IN?
THERE IS HIS SON-IN-LAW, JARED
KUSHNER, CALLED HIM THE CHANGE
AGENT.
>> HE THOUGHT, WELL, HE'S A
BUDDY OF MY SON-IN-LAW, LET'S
SEE HOW WE CAN HELP HIM OUT.
>> Adrienne: KUSHNER IS NOT
WRONG THAT SAUDI AND AMERICAN
INTERESTS ARE ALIGNED IN MANY
WAYS, BUT DURING LAST YEAR'S
STATE VISIT, TRUMP SAID THIS.
>> President Donald Trump: WE
ARE NOT HERE TO TELL OTHER
PEOPLE HOW TO LIVE.
WHAT TO DO.
>> Reporter: SO DID MOHAMMAD BIN
SALMAN TAKE THAT AS PERMISSION?
BECAUSE SOON AFTER THE REGIME
ISOLATED KHADR, SEIZED LEBANON'S
PRIME MINISTER, ACCELERATED THE
WAR IN YEMEN, KILLING THOUSANDS
OF CIVILIANS AND AT HOME,
MOHAMMAD BIN SALMAN ROUNDED UP
ANYONE HE PERCEIVED AS A THREAT,
INCLUDING RELATIVES, SOME OF
WHOM ARE STILL IN CUSTODY.
AND AS FOR THE LIBERALIZATION --
>> HE GOT A LOT OF PRAISE WHEN
HE ANNOUNCED HE WAS GOING TO
ALLOW WOMEN TO DRIVE.
BUT JUST BEFORE, HE ARRESTED
MANY WOMEN ACTIVISTS.
>> Adrienne: THE QUESTION MANY
ARE ASKING, CAN HE BE TRUSTED?
>> THIS YOUNG MAN IS NOT SOMEONE
THAT CAN BE RELIED UPON.
>> Andrew: LET'S TURN TO AN
INTERNATIONAL CONFLICT CANADIANS
DON'T TALK ABOUT AS MUCH THESE
DAYS, BUT ONE THAT IS EXTREMELY
DANGEROUS.
TODAY IN AFGHANISTAN WE SAW ONE
OF THE MOST DEVASTATING
ASSASSINATION STRIKES IN YEARS.
TWO TOP AFGHAN LEADERS WERE
KILLED AND THE TOP U.S.
COMMANDER NEARLY KILLED AS WELL.
IT HAPPENED IN WHAT SHOULD HAVE
BEEN A SECURE COMPOUND IN
KANDAHAR, THE SAME REGION WHERE
CANADIAN TROOPS SPENT SIX YEARS
FIGHTING.
THEY'RE TWO DAYS AWAY FROM
NATIONAL ELECTIONS AND THE
TALIBAN HAS CLAIMED
RESPONSIBILITY.
SUSAN ORMISTON HERE, BECAUSE YOU
HAVE REPORTED FROM AFGHANISTAN A
NUMBER OF TIMES NOW.
AND SO WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
>> WELL, THE SHOOTING HAPPENED
JUST AFTER A HIGH-LEVEL MEETING
AT THE GOVERNORS COMPOUND, THE
GOVERNOR, AND THE POLICE CHIEF.
THEY WERE REASSURING LOCAL
ELDERS ABOUT ELECTION SECURITY.
>> WE KNOW THERE IS GOING TO BE
SOME VIOLENCE, BUT I'M CONFIDENT
THAT THE FORCES ARE PREPARED.
>> Reporter: JUST AFTER THAT, A
SMALL GROUP USHERED GENERAL
MILLER TO THE WAITING HELICOPTER
AND ONE OF THE GOVERNOR'S OWN
BODY GUARDS OPEN FIRE AND SHOT
THE POLICE CHIEF IN THE BACK,
KILLED HIM, KILLED HIS
INTELLIGENCE OFFICER.
GENERAL MILLER ESCAPED, BUT THE
GOVERNOR HIMSELF WAS INJURED.
IT IS SHOCKING IN AFGHANISTAN AT
THIS STAGE THAT THE TALIBAN WAS
ABLE TO INFILTRATE THE
GOVERNOR'S OWN DETAIL AND GET SO
CLOSE.
>> Andrew: THAT IS A BIG
QUESTION.
ANOTHER ONE IS AROUND ONE OF THE
MEN KILLED, THE REGION'S HEAD OF
POLICE.
WHY WAS HE SUCH AN IMPORTANT
FIGURE?
>> HE WAS VERY IMPORTANT.
THE MOST POWERFUL SECURITY
FIGURE IN THE SOUTH, ABDUL
RAZIQ, BUT THEY WERE RELYING ON
HIM TO KEEP A STEELY GRIP ON
KANDAHAR SECURITY, KEEP THE
TALIBAN BACK.
HE DID THAT FOR THEM.
AND FOR THE MOST PART THE WEST
COMPLIED.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU 2007 WHEN WE
INTRER DUED ABDUL RAZIQ WE WERE
TALKING TO HIM ABOUT CORRUPTION.
HE WAS A WAR LORD BEFORE THE
ASSENT TO STATE POWER.
AS CHIEF OF POLICE IN HAR HE WAS
ACCUSED OF -- KANDAHAR, HE WAS
ACCUSED OF CORRUPTION.
THE TALIBAN HATED HIM.
THEY TRIED TO KILL HIM SEVERAL
TIMES, BUT HE HAD DEEP ROOTS IN
THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY.
WE'RE TOLD TONIGHT IN KANDAHAR
MANY ARE MOURNING HIS DEATH AND
WORRIED ABOUT THE DAYS TO COME.
>> THE TIME OF THIS IS CRITICAL.
ELECTIONS JUST AROUND THE
CORNER.
>> Reporter: THE TALIBAN HAS TO
SEE THIS AS A BIG SCORE, A BIG
LOSS FOR THE KABUL GOVERNMENT.
THERE WE HAVE THIS, AND NOW YOU
HAVE KANDAHAR'S MOST SENIOR
POLITICAL FIGURE, THE GOVERNOR
IN HOSPITAL.
I SPOKE TO HIS BROTHER, HE WAS
THE AFGHAN CANADIAN, THE FORMER
GOVERNOR OF KANDAHAR.
THAT THE U.S. COMMANDER JUST
TOOK OVER COMMAND A MONTH AGO
AND NOW HAS A VERY GRIM TASTE OF
WHAT IS AHEAD, PARTICULARLY WITH
THE ELECTIONS.
>> HERE'S WHAT ELSE WE'RE
WORKING ON.
FURIOUS REACTION FROM SOME OF
THE BIGGEST MUSICAL ABILITIES IN
THE WORLD AFTER A CBC NEWS
INVESTIGATION REVEALS
TICKETMASTER'S RELATIONSHIP WITH
RESE
RESELLERS.
>> OTTAWA'S MAYOR IN HOT WATER
FOR BLOCKING CONSTITUENTS ON
TWITTER.
>>> DAY 2 ON LEGAL CANNABIS, THE
CONSUMER DEMAND IS UNDENIABLE,
BUT THE ROAD TO A FUNKING MARKET
IS -- FUNCTIONS MARKET IS
LITTERED WITH POTHOLES.
THERE ARE SHORTAGES BECAUSE SO
MANY USERS ARE FLOCKING TO THE
LEGAL SUPPLY.
HARD FIGURES ARE HARD TO COME
BY, BUT IT'S CLEAR THAT
CANADIANS HAVE ALREADY SPENT
MILLIONS.
>> DAY 1 WAS AMAZING.
WE DID ABOUT 1300 ORDERS ONLINE,
HUNDREDS HERE IN THE STORE.
WE DID ABOUT -- WE WERE
EXPECTING ON A GOOD DAY THAT YOU
WOULD NORMALLY DO $50,000 IN A
STORE LIKE THIS.
WE DID ABOUT $325,000.
>> Rosemary: BUT ELSEWHERE,
SHELVES ARE EMPTY.
>> WHOEVER WAS IN CHARGE SHOULD
HAVE FORESEEN THAT AND HAD MORE
ON HAND.
>> Rosemary: VARIOUS FACTORS ARE
AT PLAY.
HEALTH CANADA REJECTED THE
LABELLING BY ONE SUPPLIER, SO
THAT WAS DELAYED.
ONE CROP WAS DESTROYED FOR
REGULATORY REASONS.
B.C. DISTRIBUTOR EXPLAINED WHY
IT WOULD HAMPER ROLLOUT
NATIONWIDE.
SOME COMPANIES LICENSED TO
PRODUCE ARE WAITING FOR LICENSES
AND SOME CROP YIELDS FAILED TO
MEET EXPECTATIONS.
ARE THESE TEMPORARY HICCUPS OR
ONGOING REALITY?
DIANNE BUCKNER GOT ANSWERS.
>> Reporter: DAY 2 OF LEGAL WEED
SAW MORE HUGE DEMAND.
>> THIS MORNING AT 8:00 A.M. I
GOT HERE, TWO PEOPLE IN LINE, BY
10:00 A.M. BACK TO 150.
>> Reporter: IN CALGARY THIS
STORE IS WELL STOCKED FOR NOW.
BUT THE OWNER IS WORRIED WHETHER
THERE WELL BE ENOUGH SUPPLY TO
GO AROUND WHEN MORE STORES OPEN.
>> WE COULD BE AT 20 STORES BY
NEXT WEEK OR STILL AT TWO.
>> Reporter: SHELVES ARE ALREADY
EMPTY IN IN STORE IN
NEWFOUNDLAND.
>> I'M HOPING TOMORROW, BUT IT'S
LOOKING LIKE MONDAY.
>> WE NEVER KNOW WHEN WE'RE
GETTING THE SHIPMENT, BUT THIS
MORNING WE RECEIVED ONE BOX.
AND THAT WAS GONE PROBABLY
WITHIN HALF AN HOUR.
>> QUITE HONESTLY, THERE ARE
GROWING PAINS.
>> Reporter: THE MINISTER IN
CHARGE SAID THE INDUSTRY WAS
GIVEN TIME.
>> THEY ASKED FOR TIME.
WE SAID HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED?
THEY SAID 12 WEEKS, WE GAVE THEM
17.
>> Reporter: MOST MAJOR GROWERS
SAY THEY'VE GOT INVENTORY.
THESE ARE JUST FIRST WEEK
HICCUPS.
>> THESE ARE 100,000 PREPACKED
CONTAINERS AND WE LOOK LIKE
95-100% OF THE REQUESTED AMOUNTS
OF EACH OF THE PROVINCES WILL BE
INTO THEIR WAREHOUSES THIS WEEK
AND NEXT WEEK.
>> Reporter: THIS BUSINESS
PROFESSOR ALSO SAYS DON'T WORRY.
>> LICENSED PRODUCERS HAVE THESE
PLANS TO BUILD OUT OR THEY'RE
CURRENTLY BUILDING OUT LOTS MORE
PRODUCTION CAPACITY.
WHEN THAT IS FULLY BUILT OUT,
THERE WILL BE ENOUGH CANNABIS.
>> Reporter: THAT CAN'T HAPPEN
FAST ENOUGH FOR SOME.
>> THIS IS STILL EARLY DAYS.
WE'RE AT THE POINT OF MAXIMUM
UNCERTAINTY.
THERE IS NOT REALLY ENOUGH DATA
WHERE THERE IS ANY HISTORY FOR
US TO DRAW FROM.
>> Reporter: AS RETAILERS ARE
LEARNING, THE HISTORY THEY'RE
WRITING IS UNPREDICTABLE.
>> Rosemary: INCREDIBLE PEOPLE
ARE STILL LINING UP.
LEGAL CANNABIS IS IN SHORT
SUPPLY IN NEWFOUNDLAND.
BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP POLICE FROM
RAIDING A SHOP.
THE RAID WAS IN PROGRESS EVEN AS
POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS SHOWED UP TO
BUY.
SUCH IS THE CHALLENGE IN WEEDING
OUT ILLEGAL SHOPS.
AS BRIAR STEWART SHOWS US,
DEMAND IS THE KEY REASON IT'S
BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR MANY
SELLERS.
>> Reporter: IT'S NOT SURPRISING
THAT THE DAY AFTER LEGALIZATION
THINGS IN VANCOUVER ARE PRETTY
MUCH THE SAME.
THERE IS STILL A SMOKY HAZE
INSIDE THE LOUNGE WHERE REGULARS
INHALE POT CONCENTRATE.
>> I COME HERE WITH $5-10 BUCKS
AND SMOKE.
>> Reporter: NEIL BLAKE HAS MS
AND COMES HERE NEARLY EVERY DAY.
>> IT'S EASY TO COME IN AND BUY.
>> Reporter: OF COURSE, ALL OF
THIS IS NOT ALLOWED UNDER THE
NEW LAWS.
YESTERDAY, RCMP SEIZED MARIJUANA
FROM TWO DISPENSARIES ON
VANCOUVER ISLAND BECAUSE THEY
DIDN'T HAVE A PROVINCIAL
LICENCE.
>> THEY WANT US TO CLOSE FOR 4-5
MONTHS UNTIL WE GET APPROVED.
WE'LL GO BANKRUPT.
>> Reporter: BUT THAT POLICE
RAID APPEARS TO BE THE
EXCEPTION.
FOR NOW THERE IS A GRACE PERIOD
FOR OTHER ILLEGAL BUSINESSES.
THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF PLACES
THAT WILL SELL YOU WEED.
SOME EVEN ADVERTISE ON LINE THAT
THEY'LL DELIVER IN THE SAME
AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO GET A
PIZZA.
>> ARE YOU DELIVERING?
>> OH, YEAH, EVERY DAY,
DOWNTOWN.
WE GOT GUMMIES, CHOCOLATES.
>> Reporter: GIVEN THIS PROVINCE
ONLY HAS ONE LEGAL POT SHOP AND
PLENTY OF OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN
OPERATING FOR YEARS, THE
TRANSITION WILL TAKE TIME.
THE B.C. GOVERNMENT SAYS MORE
THAN 40 SPECIAL CONSTABLES WILL
BE INVESTIGATING UNLICENSED
BUSINESSES THAT SELL MARIJUANA,
BUT ENFORCEMENT ISN'T GOING TO
RAMP UP RIGHT AWAY.
IT'S GOING TO BE GRADUAL,
BECAUSE OFFICIALS RECOGNIZE THAT
A LOT OF OWNERS HAVE APPLIED FOR
LICENSES AND THEY WANT TO ENTER
THE LEGAL MARKET.
DON BRIERE HAS SHUT DOWN NINE OF
HIS DISPENSARIES, HE SAYS HE'S
APPLIED FOR A PROVINCIAL
LICENCE, BUT CONTINUES TO SELL
EDIBLES WHICH ARE NOT YET
REGULATED UNDER THE NEW LAWS.
>> ALL OF OUR PEOPLE ARE WELL
TRAINED, KNOWLEDGEABLE.
THEY HAVE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
>> Reporter: HE PLANS TO KEEP
OPERATING AS HE ALWAYS HAS.
HE WAITS ON A LICENCE WHEN HE
CAN BE LEGAL.
>> Rosemary: TO A VERY DIFFERENT
KIND OF LEGAL CONTROVERSY.
LOTS OF POLITICIANS LIKE TO USE
TWITTER TO GET THEIR MESSAGE
OUT.
ASK DONALD TRUMP FOR INSTANCE.
BUT THE DECISION OF OTTAWA'S
MAYOR TO BLOCK SOME CRITICAL
FOLLOWERS FROM HIS FEED HAS LED
TO A TEST CASE IN THE COURTS AND
MAJOR QUESTIONS SURROUNDING THE
ACCOUNTABILITY OF PUBLIC
FIGURES.
>> Reporter: THIS IS OTTAWA
MAYOR JIM WATSON'S TWITTER
ACCOUNT.
HE SAYS HE CAN BLOCK YOU IF HE
WANTS TO.
AND LAST MONTH HE DID JUST THAT.
BUT THREE LOCAL POLITICAL
ACTIVISTS SAY THAT'S A VIOLATION
OF THEIR FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
>> I'M NOT JUST BLOCKED FROM
TWEETING AT HIM, I'M BLOCKED
FROM SEEING WHAT HE TWEETS, BUT
IT'S HARD FOR ME TO ENGAGE IN
DEBATE IF I CAN'T SEE WHAT
PRECIPITATED THE DEBATE.
>> Reporter: THE ACTIVISTS SAY
THEY SIMPLY ANNOYED HIM.
WATSON DISAGREES.
HE SAYS IN A STATEMENT, THIS IS
MY PERSONAL TWITTER ACCOUNT, I
HAVE A RIGHT NOT TO BE ATTACKED
AND HARASSED BY THE SAME
INDIVIDUALS ON A REGULAR BASIS.
>> IT'S ONE OF THE FIRST TIME
WE'VE SEEN THIS.
>> Reporter: ELIZABETH DUBOYES
SAYS THERE ARE NO NO DEFINED
RULES AROUND BLOCKING.
>> THE COUNTEROF I'M BLOCKING
YOU, YOU CAN'T GET MY
INFORMATION, IT'S BIG PROBLEM
WHEN TALKING ABOUT GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS.
>> Reporter: HERE ON PARLIAMENT
HILL THERE ARE NO REAL RULES FOR
POLITICIANS.
PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU
HAS SUGGESTED THAT MINISTERS
HAVE SEPARATE GOVERNMENT AND
PERSONAL SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS.
ENVIRONMENT MINISTER CATHERINE
McKENNA HAS BEEN THREATENED
BEFORE ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
BUT DOESN'T THINK THERE NEEDS TO
BE RULES AROUND BLOCKING.
>> LOOK, I THINK THAT WE'RE ALL
ADULTS HERE.
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE SOME
PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO ENGAGE,
THEY WOULD PREFER TO SAY ABUSIVE
COMMENTS, SOMETIMES THREATENING.
>> SOCIAL MEDIA IS AN
INTERESTING BEAST, IT MAKES IT
AN INTERESTING WAY TO INTERACT
WITH CANADIANS, THE FACT THAT IT
IS FREE-FLOWING WITH LESS RULES
IN TERMS OF HOW IT WORKS.
>> Reporter: SOMETIMES YOU NEED
TO BLOCK.
>> THE LINE CAN BE DRAWN WITH
PERSISTENT HARASSMENT.
THE QUESTION IS WHO IS THE
ARBITER?
>> Reporter: THE LAWSUIT FOR THE
MAYOR IS SET FOR JANUARY.
IT'S THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN
CANADA.
HANNAH THIBEDEAU, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> Adrienne: OTHER STORIES ON
"THE NATIONAL", THE NEW
BRUNSWICK GOVERNMENT IS STILL IN
LIMBO WEEKS AFTER THE ELECTION.
NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THE ELECTED
MEMBERS WANTS THE ROLE OF
SPEAKER.
>> IT WILL PLAY ITSELF OUT
ACCORDING TO THE LAW.
WE'RE ALL BLESSED AND FORTUNATE.
WE DON'T HAVE TANKS RUNNING DOWN
THE STREET IN FREDERICTON, WE
HAVE A STABLE GOOD DEMOCRACY.
>> Adrienne: SO THE PARTY WITH
FLEMING SEEMS CALM BUT BUT FOR
THE LIBERALS THIS COULD BE THE
END OF THE MINORITY GOVERNMENT.
THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS.
THE LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR COULD
ASK THE TORIES TO FORM A
GOVERNMENT OR CALL FOR ANOTHER
ELECTION.
>> WE SEE INCIDENTS OF RACISM OR
HATE, ALL OF US NEED TO SPEAK
UP.
>> Adrienne: IN THE COMMUNITY
NEAR EDMONTON IS RALLYING AROUND
A LOCAL FAMILY AFTER IT FOUND A
DESPICABLE LETTER IN THE
MAILBOX.
IT SAID THE ANDERSON FAMILY
SHOULD GO BACK TO THE RESERVE
WHERE INDIANS BELONG.
NEIGHBOURS HAVE PLANNED A BLOCK
PARTY TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT, BUT
IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE.
THE ANDERSONS TOLD OUR REPORTER
THEY'LL BE MOVING BECAUSE THEY
DON'T FEEL SAFE.
>> Rosemary: STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL", IT'S "AT ISSUE".
POTS, POLITICS, PARDONS, THE
GANG IS ALL HERE.
>> MEET THE INTERESTED GIRL
GUIDE WHO MADE ALL THE RIGHT
BUSINESS DECISIONS ON
LEGALIZATION.
>> Andrew: ANGER IN THE MUSIC
WORLD AFTER AN INVESTIGATION
REVEALS TICKETMASTER'S COZY
RELATIONSHIP WITH RESELLERS.
>> I WAS PRETTY ANGRY AND I DID
FEEL THAT MAYBE WE'
>> Andrew: MORE QUESTIONS FOR
TICKETMASTER TONIGHT.
A FEDERAL N.D.P. M.P. IS
DEMANDING AN IMMEDIATE
INVESTIGATION AND HAS ASKED THAT
TICKETMASTER BE CALLED TO
TESTIFY BEFORE A HOUSE COMMITTEE
FOLLOWING A CBC NEWS
INVESTIGATION THAT FOUND THE
COMPANY HAS BEEN SECRETLY
WORKING WITH SCALPERS.
NO SURPRISE, ARTISTS ARE ANGRY
TOO.
TODAY, CBC PUBLISHED LEAKED
E-MAILS FROM SOME OF THE WORLD'S
BIGGEST ACTS ASKING FOR ANSWERS
FROM TICKETMASTER'S PRESIDENT.
>> Reporter: MUMFORD AND SONS,
TICKETS FOR THEIR UPCOMING WORLD
TOUR WENT ON SALE JUST LAST WEEK
THROUGH TICKETMASTER.
[ * ]
>> Reporter: THAT'S DESPITE A
MAJOR CONFLICT BEHIND THE SCENES
BETWEEN THE BOX OFFICE GIANT AND
THE BAND.
>> I THINK THAT SCALPING IS
PARASITIC BUSINESS.
>> Reporter: MUMFORD ARE ANGRY
AFTER REVELATIONS AFTER THE
NEWS.
WE USED HIDDEN CAMERAS AT A
CONFERENCE IN LAS VEGAS,
RECRUITING SCALPERS.
>> I WANT TO KNOW THE STRAIGHT
GOOD WHETHER TICKETMASTER IS
GOING TO BE POLICING US USING
MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS.
>> NO, I HAVE A GENTLEMAN WITH
OVER 200 ACCOUNTS.
>> Reporter: THE DAY THAT STORY
BROKE, THEY CONFRONTED
TICKETMASTER.
ACTS LIKE BRUNO MARS, SHERYL
CROW, DRAKE AND MUMFORD AND
SONS.
IT WAS KICKED OFF BY THE MANAGER
FOR MARK KNOPFLER, FORMER
FRONT-MAN OR DIRE STRAITS.
THE MANAGER SAID HE NEVER
INTENDED FOR THE E-MAILS TO BE
MADE PUBLIC, BUT IS UP SET THE
BOX OFFICE IS COLLUDING WITH
SCALPERS.
>> I WAS PRETTY ANGRY AND FELT
THAT WE'D BE HOODWINKED.
>> Reporter: HE ASKED ABOUT THE
CLAIM THAT TICKETMASTER'S CLAIM
IT OPPOSES SCALPERS, WAS IT ALL
BOLLOCKS.
THE PRESIDENT OF TICKETMASTER
REPLIED DEFENDING THE RESELLER
PROGRAMME.
THE PRESS HAS REPRESENTED WHAT
TRADE DESK IS AND WHO USES IT,
SMITH WROTE.
NEITHER IT NOR WE FACILITATE
MASS PURCHASE OF TICKETS.
THEN THE MANAGER OF MUMFORD AND
SONS JUMPED IN.
WHY BE IN THE BUSINESS OF
FACILITATING BROKERS AT ALL?
AFTER THE FIERY E-MAILS, THEY
STRUCK A DEAL.
TICKETMASTER HAS AGREED NOT TO
ALLOW RESALE TICKETS ON THE
WEBSITE AT ALL.
THE BAND MANAGER TOLD CBC THE
MOST IMPORTANT THING FROM OUR
POINT OF VIEW IS TO KEEP THE
FANS AS INFORMED AS POSSIBLE AND
ENCOURAGE THEM NOT TO BUY FROM
SECONDARY WEBSITES, WHICH IS
WHERE SCALPERS AND BROKERS PLY
THEIR TRADE.
TICKETMASTER HAS DECLINED OUR
LATEST REQUEST FOR COMMENT.
>> Andrew: SO, DAVE, BEYOND
MUMFORD AND SONS, WHAT ARE THE
OPTIONS FOR ARTISTS?
>> THERE ARE FEW.
TICKETMASTER HAS NEAR MONOPOLY.
80% OF THE TICKET EVENTS.
THE PARENT COMPANY, LIVE NATION,
HAS CONTRACTS WITH HUNDREDS OF
ARTISTS.
SO THEY'RE ALSO TIED TO THIS
COMPANY.
NOT ALL ARTISTS AGREE.
SOME ARTISTS WANT TO PROFIT
BECAUSE THERE IS MORE MONEY TO
BE MADE.
WE HEARD FROM INDUSTRY SOURCES
IN THE INVESTIGATION THAT NOT
ALL ARTISTS ARE ANTI-SCALPING.
IT SHOWS YOU ARTISTS AREN'T
UNITED ON THE ISSUE.
>> Andrew: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> Rosemary: NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL", IT'S "AT ISSUE".
TALKING ABOUT WHAT IS
OUR PROMISE TO LEGALIZE,
RESTRICT ACCESS TO CANNABIS.
>> WE'VE PUT FORWARD A PROCESS
ON OBTAINING PARDONS THAT IS
SIMPLIFIED, FREE FOR PEOPLE WHO
HAVE SIMPLE POSSESSION OF
CANNABIS.
>> PARDONING IS NOT THE WAY TO
GO.
WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH
RECORD DELETION.
EXPUNGEMENT IS THE WAY TO GO TO
RECTIFY THE HISTORIC INJUSTICE.
>> WE'RE GOING TO SEE HOW THIS
UNFOLDS AND WE'LL PROPOSE
CHANGES TO THE REGIME BASED ON
THE FEEDBACK WE RECEIVE.
>> THERE IS NO QUESTION THE
WORLD IS WATCHING CANADA.
>> Rosemary: IT'S TRUE, THE
WORLD WAS WATCHING, AND NO, THE
SKY DIDN'T FALL, BUT WITH ONE
PROMISE DOWN, THE GOVERNMENT
STARTED ON ANOTHER.
POT PARDONS.
WHAT IS THE PAYOFF FOR THE
LIBERALS COME NEXT ELECTION.
THE "AT ISSUE" GANG, CHANTAL
HÉBERT IN MONTREAL, ANDREW COYNE
IN TORONTO AND JOINING US FOR
THE FIRST TIME, ALSO IN TORONTO,
ANDRAY DOMISE.
GOOD TO SEE EVERYBODY.
I DON'T START WITH THE NEWBIE,
I'LL PUT YOU ON ICE AND LET THE
OTHER TWO START UP.
LET'S START WITH THE ISSUE OF
PARDONS, BUT MORE FROM A
PERSPECTIVE OF COULD THAT LEAD
TO POLITICAL BENEFIT DOWN THE
ROAD?
IF THERE IS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
CANADIANS OUT THERE WHO MIGHT BE
ABLE TO CHANGE WHAT THEIR
CRIMINAL RECORDS LOOK LIKE,
WOULD THERE BE A PAYOFF I GUESS?
>> MAYBE SO.
PROBABLY FROM SOME OF THEM, BUT
IF THAT WERE A BIG POLITICAL
CALCULATION ON THE PART OF THE
LIBERALS, THEY'VE KNOWN FOR
MONTHS IF NOT A YEAR, WHEN THE
DAY WHEN CANNABIS WAS GOING TO
BE LEGAL WAS GOING TO BE.
SO HOW COULD THEY NOT COME UP
WITH LEGISLATION AND JUST
PROMISE TO DRAFT LEGISLATION.
IT SEEMS TO ME WITH ALL THE
APPARATUS OF GOVERNMENT THEY
COULD HAVE COME UP WITH A BILL
ON WEDNESDAY RATHER THAN
INTENTION.
>> IT DOES BEG THE QUESTION OF
WHY PEOPLE HAVE TO APPLY FIRST
OF ALL TO GET A PARDON.
I'VE BEEN WRACKING MY BRAIN,
WHAT WOULD BE THE ARGUMENT
AGAINST DECLARING WHAT THIS
WHOLE EXPERIMENT WITH
PROHIBITION WAS A 90-YEAR
MISTAKE.
WE ADMITTED IT WAS A MISTAKE,
WHY WOULD THE ONUS BE ON PEOPLE
TO HAVE THAT PARDONED.
WHY WOULDN'T IT BE A BLANKET
PARDON FOR ANYONE CONVICTED OF
SIMPLE POSSESSION.
THERE IS ARGUMENT FOR PARDON
VERSUS EXPUNGEMENT, IN DEALING
WITH THE U.S. AUTHORITY.
THEY MAY HAVE A RECORD.
BUT CORRESPOBEYOND THAT, WHY IS THE ONUS
PLACED ON THE PEOPLE CONVICTED
OF THIS, WHEN THERE ARE 500,000
WITH THE CONVICTION.
IT DOESN'T SEEM CONSISTENT.
>> Rosemary: WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> I AGREE THAT GOING WITH THE
PARDON VERSUS THE BLANKET
EXPUNGEMENT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
BEING A PARANOID HUMAN BEING, MY
FIRST THOUGHT GOES THE
APPLICATION PROCESS TO BE ABLE
TO GET A PARDON, FIRST OF ALL,
IS GOING TO BRING UP RECORDS TO
THE UNITED STATES OF
AUTHORITIES.
YOU WANT TO GO ACROSS THE BORDER
TO A COUSIN'S WEDDING OR AUNT'S
FUNERAL, THAT COULD BE A REASON
YOU GET STOPPED AT THE AIRPORT.
SECOND, YOU'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO
GET A LAWYER TO NAVIGATE.
SO IF THE GOVERNMENT WAS
PROACTIVE IN ARRESTING PEOPLE,
WHY CAN'T THE GOVERNMENT BE
PROACTIVE IN GETTING RID OF THE
CONVICTIONS?
>> Rosemary: WHAT THE GOVERNMENT
WOULD SAY, THE EXPUNGEMENT
DOESN'T ERASE THE RECORDS THAT
MIGHT EXIST IN THE UNITED
STATES.
IF YOU HAVE A PARDON AND THAT IS
WHAT ANDREW AS ALLUDING TO, AT
LEAST YOU CAN SAY, THIS IS MY
PARDON, SO THIS RECORD HAS BEEN
ERASED.
>> BUT UNDER ANY SCENARIO, THEY
COULD HAVE BEEN MORE PROACTIVE.
THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN IN THE HOUSE
OF COMMONS, RAISED BY THE N.D.P.
FOR MORE THAN A YEAR.
TO JUST COME UP WITH AN
INTENTION ON THE DAY OF
LEGALIZATION, TO ME, SOUNDS A
BIT STRANGE AND I HAVE TO THINK
THAT MAYBE THEY JUST DON'T HAVE
THE LOGISTICAL MEANS TO MAKE IT
HAPPEN QUICKLY.
AND THEY'RE GIVING THEMSELVES
TIME TO BE READY FOR IT, BECAUSE
WHAT IS THE POINT OF SAYING AS
OF TODAY WE'RE GOING TO ISSUE A
BLANKET PARDON IF YOU CAN'T
LOGISTICALLY ACHIEVE THAT?
>> Rosemary: THAT COULD BE IF
THE NUMBERS ARE AS HIGH.
>> IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEY
SHOULD SAY SO.
>> I SAY THIS AS SOMEBODY WHO
WORRIES ABOUT THE NORMALIZATION
OF MARIJUANA, WORRIES ABOUT THE
HEALTH EFFECTS, BUT THE FACT
THAT WE DEALT WITH THIS BY
CRIMINALIZING PEOPLE WHO USED
MARIJUANA.
MAYBE IT WAS EXCUSABLE IN THE
TIMES IN THE PAST, NOW THAT WE
ACKNOWLEDGED IT WAS A RIDICULOUS
ERROR, IT SEEMS PASSING STRANGE
WE WOULD LEAVE PEOPLE WITH THE
ONUS OF GETTING THAT OFF THEIR
RECORD INDIVIDUALLY, RATHER THAN
THE GOVERNMENT ADMITTING IT WAS
A MISTAKE AND TAKING
RESPONSIBILITY.
>> Rosemary: LAST WORD ON THAT?
>> THERE IS ANOTHER PART.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SIMPLE
POSSESSION, NOT TRAFFICKING.
UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW, IT'S
NOT -- THERE IS NOT REALLY AN
OBJECTIVE MEASURE FOR
TRAFFICKING.
YOU CAN SIMPLY HAVE HAD TOO MUCH
WEED ON YOU AND BEEN CHARGED
WITH TRAFFICKING.
TO SAY SIMPLE POSSESSION IS
WHERE WE SHOULD STOP IS A MASS
TAKE.
THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE SYSTEM
THAT HAD NO INTENTION TO TRAFFIC
THAT ARE GOING TO BE LEFT WITH
RECORDS.
>> Rosemary: I'M GOING TO CHANGE
TOPICS.
SAUDI ARABIA AND HOW THIS
GOVERNMENT AND THE WORLD CHOOSES
TO DEAL WITH THE DETAILS AROUND
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE
JOURNALIST JAMAL KHASHOGGI.
SO THIS IS WHAT OUR FOREIGN
AFFAIRS MINISTER HAD TO SAY
ABOUT THAT TODAY.
>> CANADA'S POSITION ON HUMAN
RIGHTS IN GENERAL, VERY MUCH
INCLUDING IN SAUDI ARABIA, IS
CLEAR AND FIRM.
WE SHOULD TAKE CLEAR AND FIRM
POSITION IN AUGUST.
AND I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT CANADIANS CAN BE PROUD OF.
>> Rosemary: SO, SHE SAID THAT
TODAY, BUT EARLIER THIS WEEK,
SHE ALSO SAID THAT THE
GOVERNMENT WASN'T GOING TO BACK
AWAY FROM SELLING THE LIGHT
ARMORED VEHICLES TO SAUDI
ARABIA.
A CONTRACT UNDER THE
CONSERVATIVES.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE TWO
MESSAGES AND IS THIS COHERENT
AND DOES IT MAKE SENSE IN LIGHT
OF WHAT THE REST OF THE WORLD IS
DOING AS WELL?
>> I THINK WE ARE STILL WAITING
TO SEE WHAT THE REST OF THE
WORLD IS REALLY DOING.
ON THE FIRST STATEMENT, THE ONE
YOU AIRED, I THINK SOME OF THE
COUNTRIES THAT STAYED SILENT WAS
SAUDI ARABIA WAS COMING AFTER
CANADA FOR HAVING TWEETED THAT
PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE JAILED
WITHOUT REASONS AND SHOULD BE
FREED, LOOK A BIT -- DON'T LOOK
VERY WELL AND THAT CANADA LOOKS
BETTER FOR HAVING DONE THAT IN
AUGUST.
I ALSO THINK THAT SOME OF THE
FORMER CANADIAN MINISTERS, JOHN
BAIRD, NOT TO NAME HIM, WHO
ACTUALLY WENT AFTER THE
GOVERNMENT FOR THAT, SHOULD KEEP
A LOW PROFILE ON THIS ISSUE
GOING FORWARD.
THE ARMS SALE, YES, THERE IS A
MATTER OF A SIGNED CONTRACT, BUT
THERE IS AND YOU CAN'T HIDE THE
FACT THE MATTER OF THE JOBS THAT
ARE TIED TO IT.
>> I THINK WE HAVE TO GO FAR
BEYOND STERN TWEETS IN DEALING
WITH THE SITUATION AND WE HAVE
TO LOOK AT THE ARMS SALES.
THIS BRINGS UP THE ISSUES
BEDEVILLING THE LIBERALS SINCE
THEY CAME TO POWER.
WE DIDN'T SIGN THE CONTRACT, IT
WAS DONE, BUT THE PERMITS TO
FULFILL IT WERE BY THIS
GOVERNMENT.
THEY MADE A DECISION.
YOU MAY SAY SAUDI ARABIA IS IN
AN UGLY PART OF THE WORLD, BUT I
THINK WE'RE IN A DIFFERENT
TERRITORY WHEN TALKING ABOUT
EXTRA TERRITORIAL EXECUTIONS OF
DISSIDENTS AGAINST THE REGIME.
CRITICS AGAINST THE REGIME.
THIS IS GIVING LICENCE TO, NOT
JUST SAUDI ARABIA, TALKING ABOUT
CHINA, TALKING ABOUT RUSSIA.
WE'RE IN A MOMENT HERE WHEN
DICTATORS AROUND THE WORLD ARE
BEING EMBOLDENED AND IN PART BY
THE RESPONSE OR NONRESPONSE BY
THE WHITE HOUSE, THE DEFENCE
THEY'RE GETTING FROM THE
PRESIDENT AND THEY'RE GOING TO
BE EMBOLDENED IF OTHER COUNTRIES
DON'T TEP UP.
I THINK THIS DOES RAISE THE
QUESTION OF WHETHER THIS
CONTRACT SHOULD BE FULFILLED.
>> Rosemary: ANDRAY?
>> WHEN SOMEBODY LIKE PAT
ROBERTSON SAYS THAT THE UNITED
STATES SHOULDN'T CONDITIONAL
CANCEL CONTRACTS IT'S GOING TO
COST THEM A BILLION DOLLARS.
IF THE PRICE OF FREEDOM AND THE
PRICE OF HUMANITY IS LESS THAN
LOSING SOME JOBS IN SOUTHERN
ONTARIO, THEN WHAT ARE WE DOING?
>> Rosemary: I MEAN IT'S
INTERESTING BECAUSE THEY HAVE A
PIECE OF LEGISLATION GOING
THROUGH THE SENATE THAT ACTUALLY
RAMPS UP SORT OF WHAT THEY HAVE
TO LOOK AT IN ORDER TO ISSUE THE
CONTRACTS GOING FORWARD.
IN PART, THEY'RE RECOGNIZING
THAT THIS ISN'T SUFFICIENT.
AND FOR A GOVERNMENT THAT TALKS
A LOOT ABOUT CANADA AND HOW IT
IS ON THE WORLD STAGE, I DON'T
KNOW, IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE THERE
IS AN OPENING FOR THEM THERE.
>> SURE, BUT PARDON THE LIBERALS
FOR HAVING BEEN TAKEN TO TASK BY
EVERYONE AND THEIR SISTER FOR
HAVING DARED TO TWEET AND NOW
BEING TAKEN TO TASK FOR SAYING
WE'RE GOING TO STAY ON COURSE ON
THIS CONTRACT THAT WE'VE
DEFENDED.
I'M NOT SAYING THEY SHOULD HAVE
DEFENDED IT FROM DAY ONE, BUT AT
SOME POINT, THE MEASURE OF WHAT
THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT SHOULD
BE DOING HAS BEEN SHIFTING AS
THE SITUATION HAS CHANGED.
I THINK THERE IS SOME WISDOM IN
THIS CASE NOT TAKING THE LEAD ON
THIS AND WAITING FOR THOSE
BIGGER COUNTRIES WHO SAT BACK
TWO MONTHS AGO, TO ACTUALLY PUT
SOME MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTHS
ARE.
>> Rosemary: IS THAT FAIR,
ANDREW, THIS IS NOT OUR JOB TO
RUN IT?
>> IT'S THE WORLD'S COMMUNITY
JOB.
IT'S A FAIR POINT WHETHER CANADA
CAN ACT ALONE OR IN CONCERT WITH
OTHER COUNTRIES.
THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE RED
LINES.
IT'S TRUE REALISTS SAY WE CAN'T
GO AROUND CLEANING UP RECORDS.
BUT WE CAN DRAW RED LINES, NOT
EXTRA TERRITORIAL APPLICATION OF
THE ATROCIOUS HUMAN RIGHTS
RECORDS.
THAT SEEMS TO BE ONE OF THE
LINES IN THE SANDS THAT THE
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HAS AN
OPPORTUNITY AT THIS POINT TO
DRAW.
AND NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME.
>> I WOULD SAY THAT TRYING TO
HIDE BEHIND THE CONTRACTS, TO
ME, IT'S A COWARDLY POSITION,
BECAUSE THE SAUDI ARABIA
CANCELLED CONTRACTS FOR
AGRICULTURE AND EXPELLING
DIPLOMATS.
WHAT IS STOPPING US FROM SELLING
ARMS, ASIDE FROM PROTECTIONISM?
I SEE THAT AS EMBOLDENING
MEASURE AND FRANKLY, WE'RE
SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER THAN THAT
AS CANADIANS.
>> Rosemary: I'M GOING TO FLIP
BACK TO POT.
WILL YOU BE UPSET IF I ASK YOU
IF YOU'RE GOING TO PURCHASE NOW
THAT IT'S LEGAL?
[LAUGHTER]
>> I DON'T KNOW, I NEVER SMOKED
DOPE WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL
AND I DIDN'T WAIT 50 YEARS FOR
IT TO BE LEGAL TO START.
THAT'S NOT WHY I DIDN'T TRY.
>> YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT
ON NATIONAL TELEVISION?
MY PARENTS MIGHT BE WATCHING.
>> Rosemary: OK, IT WAS UP TO
YOU TO ANSWER.
CHANTAL GETS EXTRA POINTS FOR
GOING THERE.
THANKS, EVERYBODY.
APPRECIATE IT.
MAKE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE TO OUR
PODCAST.
THIS WEEK WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT
THE CANCELLATION OF THE
CAP-AND-TRADE SYSTEM IN ONTARIO.
LOOK FOR IT ON iTUNES.
OR OUR WEBSITE.
>> Andrew: NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL", WE'LL SERVE UP A
SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT MIX OF
POLITICS AND POT.
A FORMER PRIME MINISTER HAS
JOINED THE INDUSTRY.
>> GREAT SOCIAL ADVANCES THAT
I'VE INDICATED COMES IN WAVES
AND THIS IS ONE OF THE WAVES
THAT I THINK WILL HAVE CANADA
SHOW
REALLY HAPPY TO PUT HER TO REST
WITH MOM AND DAD.
>> Adrienne: TONIGHT,
INVESTIGATORS REVISIT A COLD
CASE IN ONTARIO LITERALLY
DIGGING FOR ANSWERS.
NOREEN GREENLEY WAS 13 YEARS OLD
WHEN SHE DISAPPEARED 55 YEARS
AGO.
THE FAMILY RECEIVED A TIP ABOUT
A CAR POSSIBLY BURIED IN THIS
SPOT AND THEY THOUGHT HER BODY
MIGHT BE INSIDE.
CREWS USED METAL DETECTORS, BUT
IN THE END FOUND NOTHING.
>>> DONALD TRUMP HAS TURNED HIS
ATTENTION TO THE THOUSANDS OF
MIGRANTS HEADING NORTH FROM
CENTRAL AMERICA.
THE PRESIDENT THREATENED TO
DEPLOY THE MILITARY AND CLOSE
THE MEXICO BORDER IF THE LARGE
GROUP ISN'T STOPPED.
THIS WEEK, SEVERAL THOUSAND
PEOPLE LEFT HONDURAS IN A CONVOY
THAT INCLUDES FAMILIES WITH KIDS
FLEEING POVERTY OR GANG
VIOLENCE.
>>> AND HUD HAS PULLED A LINE OF
HATS.
THE MAKE CANADA GREAT AGAIN DID
NOT GO WELL.
SOME CALLED TO FOR A BOYCOTT OF
THE COMPANY.
THE BAY SAID IT WAS NEVER OUR
INTENTION TO OFFEND AND WE'VE
REMOVED THE PRODUCT.
>> WHETHER IT'S THE PRIME
MINISTER OR THE FORMER SPEAKER
OF THE HOUSE JOHN BOEHNER, OR
BILL WELD, IT'S OUR GOAL TO
SURROUND THIS BUSINESS WITH,
AGAIN, WORLD LEADERS, PEOPLE OF
INFLUENCE.
>> YES, FORMER PRIME MINISTER
BRIAN MULRONEY JOINING THE BOARD
OF A U.S. CANNABIS INVESTMENT
FIRM.
HE'S ONE OF SEVERAL RETIRED
POLITICIANS SET TO MAKE MONEY
FROM POT.
AFTER HAVING OPPOSED IT WHILE IN
POWER.
CATHERINE CULLEN ASKED HIM ABOUT
IT.
>> YOU'LL SEE IN -- IT TAKES A
WHILE FOR CERTAIN THINGS TO
CATCH UP.
>> BRIAN MULRONEY POT
EVANGELIST?
>> IT COMES IN WAVES AND THIS IS
ONE OF THE WAVES THAT YOU'LL
HAVE CANADA SHOWING THE WAYS TO
THE REST OF THE WORLD.
>> Reporter: HE'S JOINED THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF A POT
INVESTMENT FIRM.
AS PRIME MINISTER HE TOOK A
TOUGH STANCE ON DRUGS AND SAID
IT WAS FOCUSED ON LETHAL
SUBSTANCES, BUT PROPOSED
LEGISLATION BY HIS GOVERNMENT
KEPT POT IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS
HEROIN.
>>
>> ARE YOU SERIOUS?
THE GOVERNMENT IS ALREADY
ANNOUNCED ITS PROGRAMME IN TERMS
OF LOOKING AFTER THESE PEOPLE
AND I AGREE WITH IT.
>> Reporter: HE IS CERTAINLY NOT
THE ONLY EX-POLITICIAN TO CASH
IN ON POT.
FORMER LIBERAL JUSTICE MINISTER
CHAIRMAN OF THE MEDICAL CANNABIS
COMPANY.
HIS GOVERNMENT DID INTRODUCE A
BILL TO DECRIMINALIZE SMALL
AMOUNTS OF POT.
THERE IS HERB DHALIWAL AND THEN
JULIAN FANTINO.
ASKED BY THE TORONTO SUN ABOUT
LEGALIZING POT, HE RESPONDED I
GUESS WE CAN LEGALIZING MURDER
TOO AND THEN WE WON'T HAVE A
MURDER CASE.
WE CAN'T GO THAT WAY.
LAST YEAR, FANTINO STARTED A
COMPANY TO CONNECT PATIENTS WITH
MEDICAL CANNABIS.
IS IT OK TO CHANGE YOUR STANCE?
THE JUSTICE MINISTER SEEMED
UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN ASKED.
>> INDIVIDUAL'S CHOICE ABOUT
WHAT THEY DO IN THEIR PRIVATE
LIFE.
>> Reporter: BUT ONE WANTED TO
WEIGH IN.
>> THERE ARE LOTS OF WORDS TO
DESCRIBE THAT.
THEY'RE ADULTS AND MAKE THEIR
OWN DECISIONS, BUT ONE WORD THAT
COMES TO MIND IS HYPOCRISY.
>> IF YOU HAD TOLD ME WHEN I WAS
IN OFFICE 30 YEARS AGO THAT
SAME-SEX MARRIAGE WOULD BE ON
EVERYBODY'S RADAR, I WOULD HAVE
SAID THAT'S A BIT OF A STRETCH.
BUT IT IS.
AND THAT'S THE WAY SOCIAL
ADVANCE OCCURS.
>> Reporter: SO DOES THAT NEW
ENTHUSIASM MEAN BRIAN MULRONEY
MIGHT TRY IT ONE DAY?
>> THAT'S A HYPOTHETICAL AND I
DON'T ANSWER HYPOTHETICAL
QUESTIONS.
CATHERINE, I'M GETTING A LITTLE
LONG IN THE TOOTH FOR THIS.
>> Rosemary: [LAUGHTER] THE
MOMENT IS NEXT.
A HUGE NIGHT FOR A YOUNG ARTIST
WHO SPEAKS HIS MIND THROUGH HIS
PAINTBRUSH.
BUT FIRST, IN CASE YOU MISSED
IT.
>> YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THIS NOW
VIRAL PICTURE TAKEN BY CBC
EDMONTON REPORTER SHOWING A
NEWLY OPENED STORE IN EDMONTON
AND THE FRANKLY BRILLIANT FAMILY
WHO PLACED HER OUTSIDE THE DOOR.
>> WE SOLD COOKIES IN THE PAST,
SO WE DECIDED DO THINGS A LITTLE
DIFFERENTLY AND WITH THE
LEGALIZATION COMING UP, SHE
DECIDED, WE DECIDED TOGETHER,
THAT WE WERE GOING TO TRY TO
SELL COOKIES IN THE LINEUP DOWN
AT NOVA.
WE LOADED UP THE WAGON AND WE
HEADED DOWN TO THE LINEUP.
AND SO WE TALKED TO THE PEOPLE
AT THE HUNT AND THEN WE WALKED
THROUGH THE LINEUP, DIDN'T WE?
AND WHAT DID YOU SAY TO PEOPLE
WHEN YOU WERE WALKING IN THE
LINEUP?
>> WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUY SOME
COOKIES?
>> WE WENT UP AND DOWN THE LINE
A FEW TIMES.
AND SHE -- WE ENDED UP SELLING
OUT IN 45 MINUTES.
THEY WERE CALLING HER AN
ENTREPRENEUR, SAYING SHE WAS
DOING AWESOME.
WHAT DID YOU THINK, ELINA?
>> AWESOME.
>> Rosemary: SURE IS.
SHE MADE 120 BUCKS FOR THE GIRL
GUIDE.
SHE CERTAINLY FULFILLING THE OLD
>> Adrienne: YOU ARE LOOKING AT
A QUIET CANADIAN SENSATION, NIAM
JAMES, WHOSE IMPRESSIONISTIC
PAINTINGS ARE SOLD AS FAST AS
THEY ARE MADE.
OUR IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS BROUGHT
YOU THE STORY IN 2016.
IT'S STUNNING ENOUGH THERE HE'S
JUST 15, BUT EVEN MORE, PAINTING
IS HOW HE COME UP INDICATES.
NIAM AUTISTIC, DOES NOT SPEAK
AND HAS SOME COORDINATION
CHALLENGES, BUT HE SOARS WITH A
BRUSH.
NOW WE WERE ON HAND FOR HIS
FIRST BIG ART SHOW AND THAT'S
OUR "MOMENT."
>> SO EXCITING.
IT'S EMOTIONAL.
I'M PROUD.
HOW HE WANTS TO EXPRESS TO
OTHERS WHAT HE SEES IN THIS
WORLD COMES OUT IN HIS ARTWORK
AND COMES OUT IN THE COLOURS.
IT COMES OUT IN THE LAYERS.
>> IF I CAN SEE HOPE IN HIS
PAINTING, THE REAL DOESN'T
MATTER.
IT IS HIS NEED TO COMMUNICATE.
>> LOOK AT THE WORK.
IT'S DISCIPLINED, KNOWING THERE
IS NO FILTER BETWEEN HIM AND HIS
CREATIVE CRAFT.
FOR ME, WHAT IS IMPRESSIVE IS
THAT IT IS PURE, UNADULTERATED
JOY.
>> MAYBE WE DON'T NEED TO SPEAK
AND SHOULD PAINT A LITTLE MORE,
DANCE A LITTLE MORE, LAUGH A
LITTLE MORE.
HE'S OBVIOUSLY ENJOYING HIMSELF.
>> THE FEELINGS, THE EMOTION,
THE LOVE, THE HAPPINESS, HE'S
FOUND A PASSION, FOUND SOMETHING
THAT HE LOVES TO DO.
HE HAS A VOICE.
AND HE'S LEARNED SO MANY LIFE
SKILLS AND SOCIAL SKILLS AND SO
MANY THINGS COME OUT OF ART.
>> Adrienne: BEAUTIFUL.
WHEN IOANNA FIRST TOLD THE STORY
OF NIAM A COUPLE YEARS AGO, THE
COLLECTORS AND DEALERS WERE
SAYING THAT THEY CAN'T FIGURE
OUT HOW HE WAS ABLE IT MASTER
AND PERFECT THE TECHNIQUE OF THE
ABSTRACT MASTERS.
THEY WERE STRUCK BY IT AND THEY
SAY THEY'VE SEEN A PROGRESS EVEN
SINCE THEN.
>> Andrew: YOU KNOW, I CERTAINLY
DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT ART TO
BE ABLE TO JUDGE THE ARTWORK IN
A MEANINGFUL WAY, BUT I WILL SAY
THIS -- THOSE PAINTINGS ARE BOLD
AS HECK.
IT'S PURE JOY WALKING UP TO YOU
AND GIVING YOU A GOOD SHAKE.
THAT'S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE.
>> Rosemary: AND HE'S SELLING
THEM.
HE SOLD TWO SO FAR TODAY AT THAT
SHOW.
AND THEY EACH WENT FOR $5,000.
SO AS WELL AS BRINGING HIM LOTS
OF JOY AND ALLOWING HIM TO
COMMUNICATE, HE HAS A BUSINESS
GOING AS WELL.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18.
THANKS FOR WATCHING.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Adrienne: GOOD NIGHT.
