>> Adrienne: ON THIS SUNDAY
NIGHT, THE LOSS OF LIFE IS
STAGGERING, EVEN TO VETERAN
INVESTIGATORS.
20 PEOPLE KILLED IN A SINGLE
TRAGIC CRASH.
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A
CELEBRATION, THEY EVEN RENTED A
LIMO SO NO ONE DROVE DRUNK.
SO HOW DID A DAY OUT IN NEW YORK
STATE END WITH THE MOST DEADLY
ACCIDENT IN THE U.S. IN NINE
YEARS?
>>> ALSO TONIGHT AN OUTSPOKEN
COLUMNIST ENTERS A SAUDI
CONSULATE AND THEN VANISHES.
WAS HE MURDERED?
>>> AND WITH BRETT KAVANAUGH ON
THE COURT AND AMERICANS DEEPLY
DIVIDED WE LOOK AT WHAT COMES
NEXT.
THE FIRST CASES THAT HE WILL
FACE AND WHAT HIS
CONTROVERSIAL CONFIRMATION MEANS
FOR THE MIDTERMS.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
(*)
>>> AT A TIME WHEN PEOPLE ON
BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER ARE IN
THE MIDDLE OF A LONG WEEKEND AND
OUT WITH FRIENDS OR FAMILY AND
TAKING IN THE FALL COLOURS, A
SINGLE STUNNING CAR ACCIDENT HAS
DEVASTATED SEVERAL FAMILIES IN
NEW YORK STATE.
A LIMOUSINE FILLED WITH FRIENDS
EN ROUTE TO A BIRTHDAY PARTY
NEVER GOT THERE.
IT HAPPENED IN A SMALL TOWN OF
SCHOHARIE, NEW YORK, SOUTH OF
THE ONTARIO BORDER.
OUR
RENÉE FILIPPONE EXPLAINS WHAT
HAPPENED.
>> Reporter: IT STARTED OFF AS
A DAY TO CELEBRATE A BIRTHDAY
AND ENDED UP IN UNIMAGINABLE
TRAGEDY.
>> THERE'S 20 FATALITIES, IT'S
JUST HORRIFIC.
I HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR 12
YEARS AND THIS IS ONE OF THE
BIGGEST LOSSES OF LIFE THAT WE
HAVE SEEN IN A LONG, LONG TIME.
>> Reporter: IT ALL UNFOLDED
WHEN THE LIMO LOST CONTROL ON A
VERY STEEP HIGHWAY AND BLEW
THROUGH A STOP SIGN, RIGHT
ACROSS THE INTERSECTION AND INTO
A STORE PARKING LOT.
IT HIT AN EMPTY S.U.V.
THEN THAT VEHICLE CAREENED INTO
TWO PEDESTRIANS KILLING THEM.
THE LIMO WAS CARRYING A GROUP OF
FRIENDS RINGING IN A BIRTHDAY.
FOUR SISTERS DIED IN THE CRASH,
THEIR AUNT SAYS THAT THEIR
FATHER IS BROKEN.
>> I DON'T KNOW HOW IT IS, YOU
CAN'T WRAP YOUR HEAD AROUND SUCH
A TRAGEDY WHERE YOU HAVE FOUR OF
YOUR DAUGHTERS DIE AND THEY
LOVED THEIR FAMILY.
AND THEY LOVED THEIR PARENTS.
ONE HAS TWO LITTLE CHILDREN AND
ONE HAS ONE CHILD.
>> Reporter: TWO COUPLES WHO
ARE MARRIED JUST THIS SUMMER
ALSO DIED.
ALEX AND AMY STEENBURG RENTED
THE LIMO IN
AN EFFORT TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND
NOT DRINK AND DRIVE.
THEY WERE JOINED BY ERIN AND
SHANE MCGOWEN.
THE NEWLYWEDS ARE REMEMBERED AS
LOVING PEOPLE THAT WERE FUN TO
BE AROUND.
>> ERIC AND SHANE, HONESTLY,
WERE BOTH JUST THE LIFE OF
THE ROOM.
AND THEY WERE VERY UP PEOPLE AND
POSITIVE, OUTGOING.
>> Reporter: AN INVESTIGATION
IS NOW UNDERWAY AND POLICE SAY
THEY WILL BE LOOKING AT A NUMBER
OF FACTORS, INCLUDING SEATBELTS.
>> THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS AND
THE DRIVER WOULD BE REQUIRED TO
WEAR A SEATBELT.
AND THE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK
WOULD NOT.
>> Reporter: NOW ONLY A TIRE
REMAINS AT THE PLACE WHERE
FLOWERS ARE BEING LAID TO
REMEMBER THE 20 PEOPLE WHO DIED
AND THE DOZENS OF LIVES WHO ARE
NOW CHANGED FOREVER.
>> Adrienne: RENEE, ANY SENSE
ABOUT HOW THIS MIGHT HAVE
HAPPENED?
>> Reporter: WELL, ADRIENNE,
NO ONE QUESTIONS THAT THE LIMO
BLEW THROUGH THE STOP SIGN.
WHAT INVESTIGATORS REALLY WANT
TO KNOW NOW IS WHY.
NOW THE LIMO WAS A 2001 FORD
EXPLORER
LIMOUSINE LIKE THIS ONE AND
POLICE WILL LOOK AT THE SAFETY
RECORD OF THAT VEHICLE AND THE
COMPANY THAT RENTED IT.
THEY'LL INVESTIGATE WHETHER THE
DRIVER MAY HAVE BEEN SPEEDING,
DISTRACTED, OR UNDER THE
INFLUENCE.
NOW RESIDENTS IN THE AREA SAY
THAT THIS INTERSECTION IS
DANGEROUS AND IT'S BEEN A
PROBLEM IN THE PAST.
THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION
SAFETY BOARD IS ON THE SCENE AND
THEY ARE THERE NOT JUST TO FIND
OUT WHAT HAPPENED BUT TO SEE IF
THERE ARE ANY GAPS IN THE SAFETY
STANDARDS TO MAKE SURE THAT A
TRAGEDY ON THIS SCALE NEVER
HAPPENS AGAIN.
>> Adrienne: OKAY, THANKS,
RENEE.
RENÉE FILIPPONE IN VANCOUVER
TONIGHT.
NOW IF THIS ACCIDENT MAKES YOU
WONDER ABOUT THE STANDARDS AND
RULES HERE IN CANADA, WELL, LIMO
LICENSES ARE GRANTED BY
MUNICIPALITIES.
SO IN TORONTO, FOR EXAMPLE, LIMO
DRIVERS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A
SPECIAL LICENCE AND THE VEHICLE
HAS TO BE INSPECTED EVERY SIX
MONTHS.
AND TO THAT QUESTION THEY WILL
BE ASKING IN THE U.S. ABOUT
SEATBELTS, IN CANADA IT'S
PROVINCIAL RULES THAT GOVERN THE
USE OF THEM.
SO IN ONTARIO WHEN FEWER THAN
EIGHT
PEOPLE ARE IN THE VEHICLE,
SEATBELTS ARE MANDATORY.
WHEN THERE'S MORE IN, SAY, BUSES
OR BIGGER LIMOS THERE'S NO
REQUIREMENT TO BUCKLE UP.
(*)
>>> HERE'S WHAT ELSE WE'RE
WORKING ON TONIGHT ON "THE
NATIONAL"... HE RECEIVED
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN
UNEXPECTED E.I. PAYMENTS AND
THEN GOT DINGED WITH A HUGE TAX
BILL.
NOW HE'S "GOING PUBLIC."
>>> PLUS, POT GOES LEGAL IN JUST
10 DAYS SO WHAT HAPPENS TO THE
THOUSANDS OF CANADIANS WITH
CRIMINAL RECORDS FOR POSSESSION?
YOU'LL MEET ONE OF THEM JUST
AHEAD.
>>> BUT, FIRST, HE'S BEEN
MISSING FOR DAYS SO IS JAMAL
KHASHOGGI DEAD?
HE'S A PROMINENT SAUDI DISSIDENT
AND JOURNALIST KNOWN FOR SHARPLY
CRITICISING THE SAUDI CROWN
PRINCE MOHAMMAD BIN SALMAN.
LAST WEEK KHASHOGGI DISAPPEARED
WITHOUT A TRACE AND AS DEREK
STOFFEL REPORTS MANY NOW FEAR
THAT THE KINGDOM HAD HIM KILLED.
>> Reporter: INSIDE OF THIS
BUILDING THE SAUDI CONSULATE IN
ISTANBUL, THAT'S WHERE THE
TURKISH OFFICIALS SAY THAT A HIT
SQUAD WAS SENT, A TEAM OF UP TO
15 PEOPLE DISPATCHED TO KILL
THIS SAUDI NATIONAL AND
"WASHINGTON POST" COLUMNIST.
JAMAL KHASHOGGI IS AN OUTSPOKEN
AND WELL-KNOWN CRITIC OF THE
KINGDOM.
A MAN ONCE CLOSE TO THE CIRCLES
OF POWER IN SAUDI ARABIA WHO
MORE RECENTLY
HARSHLY CRITICIZED THE ROYAL
FAMILY AND THE VAST POWERS THEY
WIELD.
>> Reporter: IN SELF-IMPOSED
EXILE IN THE UNITED STATES.
KHASHOGGI SPOKE TO CBC NEWS
EARLIER THIS YEAR.
>> Reporter: NOW FRIENDS AND
COLLEAGUES FEAR THAT HE'S DEAD.
THIS JOURNALIST SAYS THAT
TURKISH OFFICIALS TOLD HIM
KHASHOGGI WAS MURDERED BUT
PROVIDED NO PROOF.
KHASHOGGI WENT TO THE CONSULATE
LAST TUESDAY TO GET SOME
DOCUMENTS NEEDED TO MARRY A
TURKISH WOMAN.
HIS FIANCÉE SAYS SHE WAITED 11
HOURS OUTSIDE THE BUILDING BUT
HE NEVER CAME OUT.
THE SAUDIS, HOWEVER, ARE ADAMANT
SAYING THAT KHASHOGGI WAS NOT
KILLED AND THAT HE MUST HAVE
LEFT THE BUILDING.
THEY TOOK JOURNALISTS ON A TOUR
THROUGH THE CONSULATE OPENING UP
CABINETS... AND EVEN CLOSETS,
TRYING TO PROVE THAT KHASHOGGI
IS NOT THERE.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Reporter: WE ARE WORKING TO
SEARCH FOR HIM, SAID THE
CONSUL GENERAL AND WE ARE
WORRIED
ABOUT HIS CASE.
KHASHOGGI IS AN OPINION
COLUMNIST FOR THE "WASHINGTON
POST."
THIS IS WHAT THE PAPER PUBLISHED
A FEW DAYS AGO TO MARK HIS
DISAPPEARANCE.
>> THIS NEWS, IF TRUE, HAS US
ALL COMPLETELY DEVASTATED.
THIS IS AN ATTACK ON US AS WELL
AT THE "WASHINGTON POST."
>> Reporter: AN INVESTIGATION
IS NOW UNDERWAY TO TRY TO FIND
JAMAL KHASHOGGI.
IF HE'S FOUND DEAD THE SAUDIS
WILL FACE INTENSE GLOBAL
CRITICISM AND RELATIONS BETWEEN
TURKEY AND THE KINGDOM, ALREADY
STRAINED, WILL HIT A NEW LOW.
DEREK STOFFEL, CBC NEWS,
JERUSALEM.
>> Adrienne: SO KHASHOGGI ONCE
SUPPORTED MANY OF MOHAMMAD BIN
SALMAN'S REFORMS.
BEFORE BECOMING DISAFFECTED WITH
HIS RULE.
"THE NATIONAL" SPOKE WITH HIM
IN MARCH ABOUT SAUD SAUDI
PROBLEMS AND HIS OWN WORRIES
ABOUT THE DANGERS OF POINTING
THEM OUT.
HAVE A LISTEN...
>> Adrienne: THE CANADIAN
GOVERNMENT HAS RESPONDED TO ALL
OF THIS THOUGH WITHOUT MUCH
DETAIL.
A SPOKESPERSON FOR GLOBAL
AFFAIRS ISSUED A STATEMENT
SAYING...
BUT IF THIS IS PROVEN TO BE A
POLITICAL KILLING WHAT MIGHT
CANADA SAY OR DO THEN?
NOT SURE, BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT
CANADIAN INFLUENCE IN SAUDI
ARABIA IS PRETTY WEAK RIGHT NOW.
RELATIONS TANKED BACK IN AUGUST
AFTER CANADA TWEETED A PLEA IN
ARABIC URGING FOR THE IMMEDIATE
RELEASE OF SAUDI WOMEN'S RIGHTS
ACTIVISTS.
THE SAUDIS WERE INFURIATED AND
WITHIN HOURS STARTED PUNISHING
CANADA ECONOMICALLY AND
POLITICALLY.
CANCELLING FLIGHTS, ORDERING
INVESTMENTS TO BE PULLED AND
SAUDI STUDENTS SENT HOME FROM
CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES.
THEY ALSO RECALLED THEIR
AMBASSADOR AND ORDERED CANADIAN
AMBASSADOR OUT OF HIS POST IN
RIYADH.
NOW HE'S BEEN SILENT ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED UNTIL NOW.
>> TO SORT OF DROP A TWEET AS WE
DID IN A VACUUM WITH NO
BILATERAL RELATIONSHIP REALLY TO
SPEAK OF, IT'S NOT EFFECTIVE AND
IT HAS REPERCUSSIONS.
IT LEFT US VULNERABLE AND THAT'S
WHERE WE ENDED UP.
>> Adrienne: IN AN EXCLUSIVE
INTERVIEWING THIS WEDNESDAY ON
"THE NATIONAL," HE TALKS ABOUT
THE PRICE THAT HE THINKS THAT
CANADA PAID TO MAKE A POLITICAL
POINT.
>> IF WE DON'T HAVE A
RELATIONSHIP THAT ALLOWS US TO
GO AND TALK TO THE PEOPLE AT THE
MOST SENIOR LEVELS WE'RE JUST
YELLING FROM THE SIDELINES.
YELLING AT PEOPLE, GET OFF OUR
LAWN.
>> Adrienne: HOW THE RIFT
HAPPENED, WHAT CANADA CAN DO
ABOUT IT.
WE GET INTO IT ALL ON TUESDAY
EXCLUSIVELY ON "THE NATIONAL."
>> TO THE U.S. NOW WHERE THIS
WAS THE MOMENT THAT REPUBLICANS
HAD BEEN WAITING FOR FOR DECADES
WHEN BRETT KAVANAUGH WAS SWORN
IN LATE LAST NIGHT, AND THE
CONSERVATIVES LOCKED DOWN THEIR
FIRST SOLID MAJORITY ON THE U.S.
SUPREME COURT SINCE THE 1930s.
BUT OH, WHAT IT TOOK TO GET
THERE.
YOU CAN STILL TASTE THE
BITTERNESS OF THE FIGHT OVER
KAVANAUGH ACROSS WASHINGTON AND,
INDEED, ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
AS PAUL HUNTER REPORTS, IT'S NOT
ABOUT TO LEAVE ANYTIME SOON.
>> Reporter: HIGHLIGHTING THE
FOURY IN THIS COUNTRY OVER BRETT
KAVANAUGH, WATCH AS A
DEMONSTRATOR SPRAYS WATER AT HIS
CONVOY IN DISGUST AFTER
KAVANAUGH WAS SWORN INTO THE
SUPREME COURT YESTERDAY.
>> SHAME!
SHAME!
>> I'M HAPPY AS A CLAM...
>> Reporter: TODAY THE
REPUBLICANS FROM SENATOR LINDSEY
GRAHAM TO SENATE MAJORITY LEADER
MITCH McCONNELL OFFERED A
DIFFERENT VIEW.
WHILE THE CRITICS SAY THAT THE
SEXUAL ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS
AGAINST KAVANAUGH LEAVE THE
COURT IN A DEEPLY POLITICIZED
SHADOW, THE REPUBLICANS
UNDERLINE THE RIGHT GUY GOT THE
JOB.
>> I'M HAPPY THAT THOSE WHO
TRIED TO DESTROY HIS LIFE FELL
SHORT.
>> WE STOOD UP TO THE MOB AND WE
ESTABLISHED THE PRESUMPTION OF
INNOCENCE IS STILL IMPORTANT.
>> Reporter: MEANWHILE THE
DEMOCRATS EMPHASIZE NONE OF THIS
WILL BE SET ASIDE.
>> HE'S GOING TO BE ON THE
SUPREME COURT WITH A HUGE TAINT
AND A BIG ASTERISK AFTER HIS
NAME.
>> Reporter: THE NEXT
BATTLEFIELD IS THE LOOMING
MID-TERM ELECTIONS.
DAYS AFTER MOCKING KAVANAUGH'S
ACCUSER, LAST NIGHT DONALD TRUMP
BLAMED DEMOCRATS FOR OBSTRUCTING
KAVANAUGH'S CONFIRMATION AND
URGED HIS SUPPORTERS TO BE SURE
TO GET OUT AND VOTE AGAINST
THEM.
>> President Donald Trump: YOU
DON'T HAND MATCHES TO AN
ARSONIST, AND YOU DON'T GIVE
POWER TO AN ANGRY LEFT-WING MOB.
AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE BECOME.
[Applause]
>> Reporter: THE BITTERNESS OF
THE KAVANAUGH DEBATE HAS LEFT
MANY IN THIS COUNTRY FRUSTRATED
AND DISILLUSIONED WITH
LAWMAKERS.
AMONG THOSE VOICING THAT NOW,
THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR OF OHIO.
>> THE PLOT IS ON BOTH HOUSES
FOR THE WAY THIS WAS CONDUCTED
AND PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY ARE
APPALLED.
THAT'S BECAUSE I'VE GOTTA WIN
AND
YOU'VE GOTTA LOSE.
>> Reporter: IN THE MIDDLE OF
THAT BRETT KAVANAUGH NOW TAKES
HIS SEAT AT THE SUPREME COURT.
HE'S EXPECTED TO BE IN PLACE BY
TUESDAY.
IN A COUNTRY STILL DEEPLY
DIVIDED OVER WHETHER HE SHOULD
EVEN BE THERE AT ALL.
PAUL HUNTER, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Adrienne: WITHIN MOMENTS IT
SEEMED OF THE SENATE
CONFIRMATION VOTE TO AFFIRM
BRETT KAVANAUGH AS THE NEXT
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE HE WAS
SWORN IN.
SO WHY SO FAST?
AND WHAT SORT OF CASES AWAIT HIM
ON THE BENCH?
FOR THAT WE'RE JOINED BY ALICIA
BANNON OF THE BRENNEN CENTRE FOR
JUSTICE IN NEW YORK WHICH
ADVOCATES IN PART FOR VOTING
RIGHTS.
YOU ONCE CLERKED FOR SONIA
SOTOMAYOR
WHO WENT ON TO BE AN OBAMA-ERA
APPOINTEE TO THE SUPREME COURT.
HE NOW JOINS HER ON THAT BENCH
RIGHT AWAY ON TUESDAY.
WHAT IS YOUR GUT ABOUT THE MOST
CONTROVERSIAL CASES THAT HE'LL
LIKELY SEE IN HIS FIRST SESSION?
>> WELL, THE U.S. SUPREME COURT
IS JUST STARTING ITS NEW TERM.
IT RUNS FROM OCTOBER TO JUNE.
RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE TOO MANY
BLOCKBUSTERS ON THE CALENDAR.
YOU KNOW, ON HIS FIRST DAY ON
TUESDAY HE'LL BE HEARING TWO
CASES INTERPRETING A PARTICULAR
CRIMINAL STATUTE.
THERE ARE SOME CASES THOUGH THAT
ARE COMING DOWN THE PIPELINE
THAT LOOK LIKELY TO LAND ON THE
COURT'S DOCKET THIS TERM.
ONE HAS TO DO WITH PARTISAN
GERRYMANDERING, WHETHER COURTS
CAN STEP IN AND MAKE STATES
REDRAW THEIR MAPS WHEN THEY DRAW
EXTREME PARTISAN MAPS AND
DISTRICT LINES FOR CONGRESSIONAL
SEATS OR STATE LEGISLATIVE
SEATS.
ANOTHER CASE THAT MAY BE COMING
DOWN THE PIPELINE HAS TO DO WITH
WHETHER OR NOT OUR
ANTI-DISCRIMATION LAWS PROTECT
PEOPLE ON THE BASIS OF SEXUAL
ORIENTATION.
SO IF A PERSON IS FIRED FROM
THEIR JOB BECAUSE THEY'RE GAY,
WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE
PROTECTED.
>> Adrienne: IS THERE ANY
INDICATION OF HOW HE WOULD
LIKELY RULE ON THAT PARTICULAR
ONE?
>> SO ONE THING THAT'S IMPORTANT
TO NOTE IS THAT HIS PREDECESSOR,
JUSTICE KENNEDY, WAS A REAL
SWING VOTE ON THE U.S. SUPREME
COURT.
SO WE HAVE A COURT THAT
CONSISTENTLY HAS BEEN RULING IN
A LOT OF CASES ON A 5-4 BASIS.
SO SOMETIMES RULING WITH THE
LEFT SIDE OF THE COURT AND
SOMETIMES RULING WITH THE RIGHT,
AND VERY OFTEN JUSTICE KENNEDY
WAS THAT SWING VOTE.
SO JUSTICE KAVANAUGH IS GOING TO
BE ENTERING INTO A COURT THAT
HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW, VERY
FREQUENTLY DIVIDED ON A 5-4
BASIS.
ON THE PARTICULAR CASES,
PARTISAN GERRYMANDERING OR LGBT
RIGHTS, HIS RECORD IS PRETTY
THIN.
HE DIDN'T HEAR ANY CASES ON
THOSE ISSUES AS A LOWER COURT
JUDGE SO WE DON'T KNOW A LOT
ABOUT HIS THINKING ON THOSE
PARTICULAR ISSUES.
BUT LOOKING AT OTHER CASES THAT
HE'S HEARD AS A LOWER COURT
JUDGE AS WELL AS WRITING AND
SPEECHES THAT HE'S GIVEN WE HAVE
A STRONG INDICATION THAT HE IS
ON MANY ISSUES AT LEAST A VERY
CONSERVATIVE JUDGE, FAR TO THE
RIGHT OF JUSTICE KENNEDY.
SO I THINK THAT WE ARE TEED UP
TO SEE A COURT MOVE RIGHTWARD
WITH JUSTICE KAVANAUGH.
>> Adrienne: OKAY, ALICIA
BANNON, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Adrienne: CANADA IS ZOOMING
TOWARDS ITS OWN LEGAL
REVOLUTION.
10 DAYS FROM NOW RECREATIONAL
POT IS LEGAL TO SMOKE AND CARRY
AROUND.
SO WHAT HAPPENS TO THE HALF
MILLION CANADIANS WHO HAVE
ALREADY BEEN CONVICTED OF
POSSESSION?
WELL, THE N.D.P. HAS TABLED A
PRIVATE MEMBERS' BILL TO HAVE
THOSE RECORDS EXSPONGED BUT FOR
MANY CANADIANS IT MAY NOT CHANGE
MUCH.
>> THIS GREENHOUSE IS WHERE WE
HAVE OUR POTTED PLANTS.
>> Reporter: HE GROWS
MARIJUANA TO HELP TO ALLEVIATE
HIS CHRONIC PAIN.
HE FIRST STARTED USING CANNABIS
RECREATIONALLY IN HIS TEENS AND
IN THE 1970s WAS CHARGED WITH
POSSESSION THREE TIMES.
>> IT REALLY CONTROLLED HOW I
APPROACHED THE REST OF MY LIFE.
I HAD TO LOOK FOR JOBS WHERE
THEY DIDN'T REQUIRE BONDING,
WHERE THEY DIDN'T REQUIRE ANY
SORT OF CRIMINAL CHECK.
>> Reporter: WHEN RECREATIONAL
MARIJUANA IS LEGAL ADULTS WILL
BE ABLE TO CARRY UP TO 30 GRAMS.
THAT'S WHY SOME LEGAL EXPERTS
BELIEVE THAT THOSE OLD
CONVICTIONS FOR POSSESSION
SHOULD BE CLEARED FROM CRIMINAL
RECORDS.
UNDER THE CURRENT SYSTEM MANY
CAN APPLY TO HAVE THEIR
CONVICTIONS SUSPENDED BUT MOST
DON'T BECAUSE OF THE COST AND
TIME INVOLVED.
>> A LOT OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
SUFFERED FROM CANNABIS
PROHIBITION COME FROM VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES.
AND HAVING ACCESS TO THAT KIND
OF MONEY AND THE SOPHISTICATION
TO TAKE THEMSELVES THROUGH THE
PROCESS CAN BE A BARRIER.
>> THE CASE NUMBER AND THEN...
>> Reporter: THAT'S WHAT
HAPPENED IN CALIFORNIA AFTER
MARIJUANA WAS LEGALIZED.
PEOPLE WEREN'T FILLING OUT THE
PAPERWORK AND NOW THE COURT
THERE WILL DO IT AUTOMATICALLY.
>> SO NOW JURISDICTIONS ACROSS
THE STATE ARE AUTOMATING THIS
PROCESS SO THAT FOLKS ARE NO
LONGER HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE
LONG, TOUGH PROCESS OF
PETITIONING ON THEIR OWN.
>> Reporter: THE CANADIAN
GOVERNMENT SAYS THEY'LL LOOK AT
HOW TO HANDLE PAST CONVICTIONS
FOR MINOR POSSESSION ONCE LEGAL
MARIJUANA IS FULLY IN PLACE.
>> THE BUDS ARE SET.
>> Reporter: WOOLSEY BELIEVES
THAT CANADA SHOULDN'T STOP
THERE.
HE WANTS THEM TO LOOK AT
TRAFFICKING AS WELL.
THAT'S WHAT HE WAS CHARGED WITH
IN 2015 WHEN THE RCMP SHUT DOWN
AN UNREGULATED DISPENSARY HE WAS
RUNNING.
>> THEY WANT TO ERASE ALL OF THE
CANNABIS RECORDS RIGHT BACK TO
THE 1930s, GET RID OF THEM
ALL.
>> Reporter: BUT EVEN IF SOME
RECORDS ARE ERASED IN THIS
COUNTRY THEY WILL REMAIN ON
AMERICAN DATABASES.
WOOLSEY HAS BEEN STOPPED AT THE
BORDER BEFORE AND HE ISN'T
HOPEFUL THAT A CHANGE IN CANADA
WILL MAKE IT ANY EASIER TO ENTER
THE U.S.
BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS,

>> Adrienne: SOME MORE
DEVELOPING STORIES THAT WE'RE
KEEPING OUR EYE ON TONIGHT...
AN ESTIMATED
3,000 PEOPLE MARCHED IN MONTRÉAL
TODAY AND THEY'RE OPPOSED TO THE
INCOMING QUESTION OF BECK
GOVERNMENT'S VOW TO BAN THE
WEARING OF HIJABS AND OTHER
RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS IN THE
WORKPLACE.
THEY'RE ALSO PROCESSING PLANS TO
REDUCE THE NUMBER OF IMMIGRANTS
ALLOWED INTO THE PROVINCE.
>>> AND IN BRAZIL TONIGHT THE
FAR RIGHT LEADER JAIR BOLSONARO
IS A GIANT STEP CLOSER TO THE
PRESIDENCY.
HE TOOK A COMMANDING LEAD OVER
HIS COMPETITOR DESPITE A NEAR
FATAL STABBING LAST MONTH.
BOLSONARO PROMISED A CRACKDOWN
ON CRIME AND CORRUPTION.
A RUNOFF ELECTION
WILL BE HELD ON THE 28th.
>>> AHEAD ON "THE NATIONAL,"
U.F.C. FANS ARE USED TO SEEING
BLOODY BRAWLS INSIDE OF THE CAGE
BUT LAST NIGHT THE PUNCHES FLEW
OUTSIDE.
WHAT THAT MEANS FOR THE FUTURE
OF THE SPORT AHEAD.
>>> PLUS, WHY A CAFÉ OWNER WHOSE
BUSINESS WAS DEVASTATED BY THOSE
TORNADOES IN OTTAWA AND GATINEAU
HAS A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR
THIS WEEKEND.
>>> AND FOR ALMOST 15 YEARS
RAPPER AND ACTIVIST M.I.A. HAS
BEEN TAKING POP POLITICAL.
TONIGHT SHE SOUNDS OFF IN OUR
"SUNDAY INTERVIEW."
>> WHEN YOU COME TO ENGLAND THEY
HADN'T HAD SRI LANKAN REFUGEES
BEFORE SO WHEN WE LANDED PEOPLE
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WE
>> Adrienne: THAT MAN RIGHT
THERE WAS MISTAKENLY PAID
THOUSANDS IN E.I. BENEFITS AND
THE
GOVERNMENT ASKED FOR IT BACK,
FAIR ENOUGH, BUT THAT'S WHEN
BUREAUCRACY CONSPIRED WITH SHEER
ABSURDITY AND NEARLY COST HIM
THOUSANDS.
ROSA MARCHITELLI FROM OUR "GO
PUBLIC" TEAM EXPLAINS WHAT
HAPPENED.
>> I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG.
>> Reporter: BUT HE STILL HAD
TO PAY.
THAT'S WHAT OFFICIALS TOLD
ZBIGNIEW KAZMIERCZAK AFTER A
GOVERNMENT BLENDER PUT MORE THAN
$14,000 WORTH OF EMPLOYMENT
INSURANCE PAYMENTS INTO HIS
CHEQUING ACCOUNT.
HE KNEW STRAIGHT AWAY THAT HE'D
HAVE TO PAY IT BACK BUT HE NEVER
IMAGINED THAT HE'D ALSO BE ON
THE HOOK FOR THOUSANDS EXTRA IN
TAXES.
>> CANADA SERVICES ADMITTED THAT
THERE WAS NOT MY FAULT ON MY
ACCOUNT, YET I HAD TO GIVE BACK
TO THE GOVERNMENT OVER $2,000.
>> Reporter: WHEN WE FIRST MET
UP WITH ZGIB, AS HE'S KNOWN, HE
BEEN LAID OFF
FOR A FEW MONTHS FROM HIS I.T.
JOB.
HE'D APPLIED FOR EMPLOYMENT
INSURANCE AND WAS TOLD BECAUSE
HE HAD A SEVERANCE PACKAGE THAT
HE WASN'T ELIGIBLE UNTIL 2019.
BUT IN MAY SERVICE CANADA PAID
OUT ANYWAY.
AND THEN THEY WANTED THE MONEY
BACK PLUS THOSE TAXES.
ZGIB PAID TO AVOID PENALTIES AND
THEN
FILED TWO APPEALS TO TRY TO GET
THE TAXES BACK.
BOTH WERE DENIED.
>> BASICALLY THE WHOLE POSITION
IS THEY DO EVERYTHING ACCORDING
TO THE PROCEDURES.
WHAT KIND OF PROCEDURES IS THAT
THAT IF I DIDN'T GET A PENNY
FROM E.I. THAT THEY ASK ME FOR
$2,000 MORE IN RETURN?
I MEAN, THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
>> Reporter: THIS TAXPAYERS'
ADVOCATE SAYS HE OFTEN SEES
EXAMPLES OF BUREAUCRATIC RULES
THAT DEFY COMMON SENSE.
>> THE ISSUE HERE IS THAT
THERE'S A MISTAKE MADE BY
SERVICE CANADA AND IT SHOULD BE
ON SERVICE CANADA TO FIX THAT
MISTAKE.
IT SHOULD NOT BE ON A TOTALLY
INNOCENT PARTY THAT HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT SERVICE
CANADA SCREWED UP.
>> Reporter: "GO PUBLIC" FOUND
THAT GOVERNMENT INCORRECTLY PAID
OUT OR INCORRECTLY UNDERPAID
$239 MILLION OF E.I.
BENEFITS IN THE ONE-YEAR PERIOD
BETWEEN 2016-2017.
WE ALSO FOUND THAT
MANY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES ARE
FAILING TO MEET THEIR OWN
SERVICE STANDARDS THAT INCLUDES
PROCESSING TIMES FOR CLAIMS,
DEALING WITH APPEALS, AND
ESPECIALLY ACCESS TO CALL CENTRE
AGENTS.
THE GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO FIX
ITSELF.
IN APRIL IT INTRODUCED AN
INITIATIVE TO IMPROVE SERVICES
FOR CANADIANS.
AFTER "GO PUBLIC" CONTACTED THE
GOVERNMENT IT REVERSED ITS
DECISION AND RETURNED THE
$2,000.
SERVICE CANADA SAYS THEY WERE
ABLE TO DO A REFUND THROUGH WHAT
IS CALLED A TAX REVERSAL, ONLY
BECAUSE ZGIB'S OVERPAYMENT
HAPPENED AND THEN IT WAS
DISCOVERED WITHIN THE SAME
CALENDAR YEAR.
THE GOVERNMENT ALSO TOLD US THAT
OPTION WAS OVERLOOKED WHEN ZGIB
WAS TRYING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE
HIMSELF WITH THE GOVERNMENT.

IN-DEPTH WITH OUR SUNDAY
INTERVIEW.
WHY RAPPER AND ACTIVIST M.I.A.
JUST NEEDS TO
MAKE HER MUSIC POLITICAL.
(*)
(singing).
(*)
>> I THINK THAT IT'S INTERESTING
WHEN PEOPLE ARE LIKE WHY ARE YOU
WORRYING ABOUT THIS, YOU KNOW,
JUST WHY DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK
ABOUT IT.
YOU ARE A REFUGEE.
(*)
(*)
>> M.I.A.!
M.I.A.!
M.I.A.!
>> YOU WANT TO HEAR MY STORY,
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU MY STORY.
>> Adrienne: THIS ISN'T A
TYPICAL MUSIC DOCUMENTARY, OF
COURSE NOT, M.I.A. IS NO TYPICAL
MUSICIAN.
THE BRITISH-SRI LANKAN RAPPER IS
KNOWN AS MUCH FOR POLITICS AS
SHE IS FOR HER MUSIC.
HER CAREER IS ABOUT MOVING THE
GOAL POST, THE CULTURE OF
IDENTITY POLITICS, THE DESIRE TO
BE HEARD.
AND JUST GETTING PEOPLE TO
LISTEN.
ALL OF THAT IS STAMPED ACROSS A
NEW FILM "MATHANGI MAYA M.I.A.."
IT OPENED THIS
WEEKEND IN CANADA.
(*)
(singing).
(*)
>> Adrienne: FROM THE MOMENT
SHE BURST ON TO THE MUSIC SCENE
IN 2004, M.I.A.'S VOICE HAS BEEN
UNAPOLOGETICALLY FIERCE AND
FIERCELY UNAPOLOGETIC.
>> * YOU WANT TO GO
* YOU WANT TO WIN THE WAR
>> Adrienne: STIRRING
CONTROVERSY WITH HER LYRICS AND
HER VIDEOS AND NOT ONE TO PASS
UP THE OPPORTUNITY OF A BIG
STAGE TO MAKE A BIG STATEMENT.
>> SUPER BOWL SHOWDOWN OVER THE
BIG GAME'S BLOCKBUSTER HALF-TIME
SHOW.
THE NFL IS NOW SUING RAPPER
M.I.A. BUT
INSTEAD OF ISSUING AN APOLOGY
M.I.A. IS FIGHTING BACK.

SPOTLIGHT THE MORE THAT M.I.A.
HAS STOOD UP FOR THE CAUSES THAT
DRIVE HER.
(*)
>> Adrienne: FROM THE GLOBAL
MIGRANT CRISIS TO WOMEN DRIVING
IN SAUDI ARABIA.
(*)
(singing) * BAD GIRLS
* BAD GIRL DOES IT WELL
>> WHAT EXPERIENCE ARE WE
ALLOWED TO SHARE IN THESE CASES?
PLEASE USE YOUR VOICE TO SAY
SOMETHING.
(*)
(singing) * IF YOU CATCH ME AT
THE BORDER *
>> Adrienne: ALWAYS AT THE
CORE OF HER MUSIC AND HER
ACTIVISM, HER LIFE AS A TAMAL
REFUGEE WHO GREW UP IN LONDON.
(*)
(singing).
>> IT'S SONG ABOUT STEREOTYPES
AND IMMIGRANTS AND STUFF LIKE
THAT.
THAT THEY TAKE JOBS AND TAKE THE
MONEY.
>> Adrienne: BORN MATHANGI
MAYA ARULPRAGASAM.
SHE GREW UP IN THE TAMAL
COMMUNITY IN NORTHERN SRI LANKA.
HER FATHER WAS A FOUNDER OF THE
RESISTANCE IN THE LEAD-UP TO THE
25-YEAR CIVIL WAR.
THAT CONFLICT FORCED HER TO FLEE
WHEN SHE WAS JUST 10.
>> WHEN I WAS THERE THE WAR JUST
STARTED AND SO I REMEMBER NOT
BEING CONSCIOUS OF THE FACT THAT
YOU WERE TAMAL.
AND SUDDENLY BEING REAL
CONSCIOUS OF IT BECAUSE THE WAR
JUST STARTED.
SO THEN WHEN YOU COME TO ENGLAND
THEY HADN'T HAD SRI LANKAN
REFUGEES BEFORE, SO WHEN WE
LANDED PEOPLE
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WE WERE.
FOUR YEARS LATER YOU COME AND
THERE
WAS A LOT OF RACIST TENSION.
SO, YEAH, IT WAS JUST LIKE
LEARNING THAT YOU'RE
SOMETHING ELSE AND IT'S NOT THE
THING THAT YOU REALLY ARE.
AND YOU ARE JUST LUMPED IN THIS
CATEGORY OF "BROWN."
>> Adrienne: MATHANGI BECAME A
DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKER.
HOW MAYA THEN BECAME M.I.A.
STARTED WITH A PHONE CALL ON THE
DAY THAT SHE GRADUATED FROM ART
SCHOOL.
>> I GOT A PHONE CALL SAYING
THAT MY COUSIN IS M.I.A.
AND HE AND I WENT TO SCHOOL
TOGETHER WHEN I WAS IN SRI
LANKA.
AND WHEN HE WENT M.I.A. I FELT
REALLY GUILTY BY THAT.
YOU KNOW, THAT SOMEBODY MY AGE
WAS -- AND MY FAVOURITE COUSIN
HAD TO MAKE THAT DECISION TO
FIGHT FOR HIS PEOPLE AND THAT I
WAS OUTSIDE IN ART SCHOOL JUST
GRADUATING WITH A FINE ART
DEGREE AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO
DO WITH IT.
AND IT JUST SORT OF REALLY
KNOCKED ME SIDEWAYS, YOU KNOW,
AND THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT
I FELT REALLY CONNECTED TO BACK
HOME TO SRI LANKA AND THE
CONCEPT OF PEOPLE LIKE ME AND
PEOPLE MY AGE AND WHAT THEY WERE
DOING THERE.
AND I NEEDED TO GO AND
INVESTIGATE.
(*)
(singing).
WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE I USED TO
LIVE IN THIS ROOM.
>> Adrienne: WHAT STARTED AS A
JOURNEY TO RECONNECT WITH HER
FAMILY AND FIND HER COUSIN WHO
WENT MISSING DURING THE WAR
BECAME SOMETHING MUCH BIGGER.
>> THAT'S YOU AND THAT'S MY
LITTLE BROTHER.
THERE'S A GENOCIDE GOING ON.
I FELT THAT I HAD NOT
ANTICIPATED HOW TERRIBLE THE
SITUATION WAS.
>> [speaking foreign language]
>> I THINK THAT EVERY DAY THERE
WERE NEW THINGS AND I WAS
LEARNING NEW THINGS.
AND THE
GOVERNMENT HAD JUST BOUGHT THESE
NEW FIGHTER PLANES FROM ISRAEL,
THE MIG 23 PLANES AND THEY WERE
GOING ON A THREE-WEEK OFFENSIVE
IN THE TOWN WHICH I CAME FROM.
WHICH IS WHY EVEN IN THE MOVIE
THOUGH I GO TO SRI LANKA I STILL
DON'T GO BACK TO MY ACTUAL HOUSE
BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT WAS
BOMBING IT EVERY DAY.
THEY BOMBED THE AIRPORT.
>> I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
(*)
>> EVEN IF I HEAR SERIOUS THINGS
LIKE MURDERS AND RAPES AND
GENOCIDE IT STILL IS DISPOSABLE
AND USELESS AND POINTLESS
BECAUSE NOBODY IS
DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
THAT WAS REALLY AN EYE-OPENING
MOMENT FOR ME AND THAT'S WHY I
WAS LIKE, OH, THIS NEEDS MORE
ATTENTION AND THIS NEEDS MORE
HELP INTERNATIONALLY.
>> Adrienne: SO THAT'S
EFFECTIVELY THE ORIGIN STORY OF
M.I.A., A NOD TO THE COUSIN SHE
NEVER FOUND AND THE PEOPLE SHE
LEFT BEHIND.
SHE MADE IT HER PURPOSE TO TELL
THE WORLD WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO
TAMALS IN SRI LANKA AND THAT LED
TO HER MOST CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.
THIS VIDEO FOR HER SONG "BORN
FREE" WAS TEMPORARILY BANNED
FROM YouTube FOR ITS GRAPHIC
NATURE.
IT WAS M.I.A.'S WAY OF
RECREATING REAL UNCENSORED
VIDEOS OF EXECUTIONS IN SRI
LANKA, REPLACING TAMALS WITH
REDHEADS IN AMERICA JUST TO GET
HER POINT ACROSS.
>> I NEED TO KEEP THE IMMIGRANT
STORY IN ALL OF MY WORK ALWAYS
BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I'M TRYING
TO MAKE SENSE OF.
WE ARE USED AS SCAPEGOATS AND
THAT IS TO BUILD A WALL.
BUT PEOPLE ARE MOVED AND
INTERESTING THINGS HAPPEN
BECAUSE OF IT.
SO, YEAH, I THINK THAT IT'S
INTERESTING WHEN PEOPLE ARE,
LIKE, WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
THIS?
YOU KNOW, JUST WHY DO YOU WANT
TO TALK ABOUT IT?
OR THE FACT THAT YOU'RE A
REFUGEE.
YOU KNOW, LIKE, JUST BE CREATIVE
WITHOUT HAVING TO TALK ABOUT
THOSE THINGS.
BUT, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST AN
ARTIST THAT DRAWS ON REAL LIFE
AND REAL EXPERIENCES.
>> Adrienne: NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL" THE LATEST IN OUR
"SEEN AND HEARD" SERIES.
24-YEAR-OLD
STEPHANE ALEXIS HAS PUT HIS LIFE
ON HOLD TO HELP HIS PARENTS TO
CARE FOR HIS YOUNGER BROTHER,
TOR.
>>> BUT FIRST IN CASE YOU MISSED
IT CONOR McGREGOR'S TRIUMPHANT
RETURN TO THE U.F.C. WAS NOT
TRIUMPHANT FOR HIM OR THOSE
FIGHTING TO DEFEND THE
LEGITIMACY OF THE SPORT.
ALL RIGHT, SURE, THAT LOOKS LIKE
CLASSIC WRESTLE MANIA BUT UNLIKE
PRO WRESTLING WHAT ERUPTED AFTER
LAST NIGHT'S U.F.C. LIGHTWEIGHT
TITLE FIGHT WASN'T SCRIPTED
THOUGH SOME CALL IT PRETTY
PREDICTABLE.
AFTER MONTHS OF TENSION, THE
DEFENDING CHAMP KHABIB
NURMAGOMEDOV BEAT CONOR
McGREGOR IN THE OCTAGON AND
THEN LEAPT OVER THE FENCE AND
ATTACKED McGREGOR'S GROUP.
THEN KHABIB'S BOYS ENTERED THE
RING AND WENT AFTER
McGREGOR HIMSELF EVEN THOUGH
THE FIGHT WAS OVER.
IN THE END THREE PEOPLE WERE
ARRESTED, CHAOTIC, OF COURSE,
AND SURPRISING, NOT ACCORDING TO
THOSE WHO FOLLOW U.F.C.
>> SOMETHING HAPPENS LIKE WHAT
HAPPENED IN APRIL WHEN CONOR
McGREGOR FLEW IN WITH A BUNCH
OF HIS MATES AND DECIDED TO
ATTACK A BUS THAT CARRIED KHABIB
AND THEN THE U.F.C. COULD HAVE
SAID, RIGHT, WE WON'T CONDONE
THIS.
SOR THEY CAN JUST SAY, RIGHT, YOU
KNOW
WHAT, WE'LL MAKE AS MUCH MONEY
AS POSSIBLE FROM THIS AND THAT'S
WHAT THEY DID.
BUT IF THAT'S THE PATH THAT
YOU'RE GOING TO GO DOWN YOU
CAN'T BE SHOCKED AND SURPRISED
WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS
HAPPENS.
>> Adrienne: KHABIB'S
$2 MILLION PAYDAY IS NOW IN
QUESTION PENDING AN
INVESTIGATION, SO NOT GREAT FOR
HIM NOR THE U.F.C. HEAD, DANA
WHITE, WHO IS TAKING HEAT FOR
LETTING THINGS GET SO UGLY.
BUT FOR U.F.C.'S EXTREME FANS,
MAYBE LAST NIGHT'S MADNESS WAS
THE PAYDAY.
(*)
>> Adrienne: TONIGHT ON OUR
"SEEN AND HEARD" SERIES, AN
INTIMATE PORTRAIT OF SACRIFICE
AND BROTHERLY LOVE.
STEPHANE ALEXIS HAS PUT HIS LIFE
ON HOLD TO CARE FOR HIS YOUNGER
BROTHER, TOR, WHO HAS CEREBRAL
PALSY.
MANY YOUNG CANADIANS HAVE A
SIMILAR STORY.
MORE THAN A MILLION AND A
QUARTER OF THEM ARE CARING FOR A
LOVED ONE,
SOMETIMES AT THE EXPENSE OF
THEIR OWN FUTURES.
SO HERE'S WHAT IT'S LIKE "CARING
FOR TOR."
>> YOU OKAY?
I REMEMBER, LIKE, WHEN WE WERE
AT THE HOSPITAL VERY CLEARLY, WE
WAITED THERE FOR A WHILE AND
THEN MY DAD CAME OUT AND HE'S
LIKE YOUR BROTHER IS HERE.
I GOT TO SEE HIM FROM THE GLASS.
I REMEMBER SEEING OTHER KIDS
THAT WERE TOR'S AGE AND THEY
WERE LIKE CRAWLING AND WALKING
AND I WAS LIKE, SO, WHEN IS TOR
GOING TO START WALKING AND
TALKING?
AND THEY ARE, LIKE, PROBABLY
HE WON'T BE ABLE TO WALK AND
TALK.
I MUST HAVE BEEN AROUND LIKE 4
OR 5 YEARS OLD WHEN I REALISED
THAT THINGS WERE A LITTLE
DIFFERENT.
AND DOWN...
MY NAME IS STEPHANE ALEXIS.
I'M 24 YEARS OLD.
THIS IS A TEAM EFFORT.
THERE WE GO.
IT TICKLES.
I'M A YOUNG CAREGIVER.
I TAKE CARE OF MY YOUNGER
SIBLING TORRENCE.
HE'S 21 YEARS OLD AND HE HAS
CEREBRAL PALSY.
HE'S NONVERBAL, HE DOESN'T
REALLY HAVE ANY BALANCE.
HE'S COMPLETELY DEPENDENT.
YOU WANT TO GO TO BED?
YOU WANT TO GO TO BED?
IT'S NOT AN EASY JOB.
HE NEEDS, LIKE, HE NEEDS YOU FOR
EVERYTHING.
SO YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF HIM
24/7.
I THINK THAT TOR SEES THE WORLD
SIMPLER THAN WE SEE IT.
SO I FEEL LIKE HE APPRECIATES
THE THINGS THAT WE TAKE FOR
GRANTED.
WE THINK HE SEES THE WORLD IN
LIGHTS AND SHAPES.
OKAY, BUDDY.
A YEAR AGO WHEN TOR TURNED 21 HE
GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND
ALL OF THE SERVICES STOPPED.
SO WHEN THAT HAPPENED WE DIDN'T
HAVE ANY SUPPORT DURING THE DAY.
YOU'RE DOING WELL.
AND ALL OF THE WORK KIND OF FELL
ON MY DAD.
>> HE SHOULD BE HUNGRY.
>> SO THAT'S WHEN I WAS LIKE,
HEY, I HAVE TO HELP.
MOM IS WORKING FULL TIME AND HAS
HER HANDS FULL TAKING CARE OF
THE HOUSE TOO.
SO I'M HERE.
EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T LIKE
FEELING GREAT, YOU MAKE
SACRIFICES FOR YOUR FAMILY.
WHEN PEOPLE THINK ABOUT A
CAREGIVER, THEY GENERALLY THINK
ABOUT A FEMALE.
IT'S A VERY EASY ASSUMPTION TO
MAKE AND A VERY EASY PICTURE TO
PAINT.
WATCHING MY DAD TAKING CARE OF
TOR HAS IMPACTED ME IN A PRETTY
SIGNIFICANT WAY.
BECAUSE HE HAS SHOWN ME THE
OTHER SIDE OF MASCULINITY.
HE TEACHES ME HOW YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO BE ATTENTIVE TO
CERTAIN THINGS AND HOW YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO, LIKE, TAKE CARE OF
YOUR FAMILY.
>> SO I'M PICKING UP, OKAY,
PEPPERONI, SPINACH, EGGS.
I'LL BE BACK.
>> WHEN YOU'RE TAKING CARE OF A
FAMILY MEMBER, THE HOUSE
REVOLVES AROUND THAT FAMILY
MEMBER.
SO YOU KIND OF HAVE TO
COORDINATE WHO'S GOING TO STAY
AND WHO'S GOING TO GO OUT
BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS LIKE AN
ORCHESTRA.
SO YOU HAVE TO KIND OF GET
EVERYTHING IN A CERTAIN BALANCE.
>> TIME FOR BEDTIME.
SWEETHEART, TURN AROUND.
>> Reporter: THERE'S SO MANY
LITTLE INTRICATE DETAILS THAT
GO, NOT INTO JUST EVERYDAY LIFE,
BUT INTO A LIFE WHERE YOU'RE
TAKING CARE OF SOMEONE ELSE.
>> * SLEEP
* BECAUSE THE BIBLE
* TELLS ME SO
>> WE LOVE TOR TO DEATH.
WE LOVE HIM UNCONDITIONALLY.
WE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR HIM, OF
COURSE, BUT ANY KIND OF LONG
CONTINUOUS STRAIN HAS AN IMPACT
ON YOU MENTALLY.
MY FRIENDS ARE AIMING TOWARDS
LIKE THEIR CAREER AND THEY'RE
CHASING LIKE THEIR DREAMS AND
ALL OF THAT.
HAVING TO PUT MY GOALS AND
ASPIRATIONS ON THE BACK BURNER
CAN BE REALLY FRUSTRATING.
I CAN'T DO THIS FOREVER.
AND IT'S A TOUGH -- IT'S A TOUGH
PLACE TO BE IN BECAUSE, LIKE,
WHAT DO I -- LIKE, HOW DO I
CHOOSE?
SHHH, SHHH, SHHH.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN, LIKE, IF I'M
NOT THERE TO KIND OF RELIEVE THE
PRESSURE?
EVERYONE IS GETTING OLDER AND
THE NEEDS ARE GOING UP AND IT'S
KIND OF BREAKING THE BALANCE.
HE JUST HAD A REALLY BAD
SEIZURE.
>> OKAY.
>> IF I CAN'T BE HERE, LIKE,
PHYSICALLY TO HELP I NEED TO
FIND ANOTHER WAY TO HELP OUT.
IT'S EASY IGNORING THESE PEOPLE
BECAUSE THERE'S NO VOICE,
BECAUSE THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE
VOICE ARE TOO TIRED TO, LIKE,
RAISE THEIR VOICES.
THEY'RE ALREADY EXHAUSTED FROM
THE DAY-TO-DAY AND THEY DON'T
HAVE THE ENERGY TO GO OUT AND
PROTEST.
AND TRY AND LIKE FIGHT THE
GOVERNMENT AND, LIKE, LOBBY AND
DO ALL OF THIS CRAZY STUFF.
BECAUSE, LIKE, THE DAY-TO-DAY
NEVER REALLY STOPS.
YOU DON'T HAVE THE ENERGY
BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO
MAKE IT DAY-TO-DAY.

CHAPTER IN OUR "SEEN AND HEARD"
SERIES.
EACH ONE GIVES YOU AN INTIMATE
LOOK AT A YOUNG PERSON LEADING
AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE.

>> Adrienne: HERE ARE SOME
STORIES THAT WE'LL BE WATCHING
ON "THE NATIONAL" THIS WEEK.
ARE YOU READY FOR THE SECOND
ROYAL WEDDING OF THE YEAR?
OF COURSE YOU ARE.
PRINCESS EUGENIE IS MARRYING
JACK BROOKSBANK ON FRIDAY.
NOW SHE'S THE YOUNGER DAUGHTER
OF PRINCE ANDREW AND THE DUCHESS
OF YORK.
HE IS THE MANAGER OF A TEQUILA
BRAND.
THEIR WEDDING AT ST. GEORGE'S
CHAPEL WON'T HAVE THE HOOPLA OF
HARRY AND MEGHAN'S CEREMONY AT
THAT VERY CHAPEL.
>>> FOR ECONOMISTS AROUND THE
WORLD IT MIGHT AS WELL BE
CHRISTMAS EVE.
THEY WILL WAKE UP TOMORROW
MORNING LEARNING WHO HAS WON THE
NOBEL PRIZE.
WE WILL ALSO HEAR FROM NADIA
MURAD, THE YAZIDI HUMAN RIGHTS
ACTIVIST IS SPEAKING TO THE
MEDIA TOMORROW FOR FIRST TIME
SINCE BEING NAMED A CO-WINNER OF
THE 2018 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.
* GOD'S PLAN
* GOD'S PLAN
>> Adrienne: SO GOD'S PLAN?
DRAKE MIGHT BE HOPING GOD'S PLAN
INCLUDES AN AMERICAN MUSIC
AWARD.
THE CANADIAN MEGA-STAR IS UP FOR
EIGHT AWARDS TUESDAY NIGHT,
INCLUDING ARTIST OF THE YEAR.
FELLOW CANADIAN SHAWN MENDES
WILL BE PERFORMING ON THE SHOW.
>>> AND AN OTTAWA BUSINESS IS
GIVING THANKS THIS HOLIDAY
WEEKEND.
THE HEART AND SOUL CAFÉ SO APTLY
NAMED WAS DAMAGED DURING THE SIX
TORNADOES THAT TORE THROUGH THE
COMMUNITY ALMOST TWO WEEKS AGO.
THEY'VE BEEN WORKING HARD TO GET
BACK UP AND RUNNING EVER SINCE.
THEY MANAGED TO OPEN
THEIR DOORS TO COMMUNITY LEADERS
AND LOYAL CUSTOMERS IN TIME FOR
THANKSGIVING AND THAT IS, OF
COURSE, OUR "MOMENT OF THE DAY."
>> FOR THIS THANKSGIVING I HAVE
TO SAY THAT ME AND
THE FAMILY ARE JUST HAPPY THAT
WE MANAGED TO GET IT OPEN.
(*)
WE CHOSE THIS WEEKEND TO OPEN
STRICTLY BECAUSE WE WANTED TO
GET IT DONE AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE AND WE WANTED TO GET
BACK OPEN FOR THE CUSTOMERS.
WE WERE REALLY BUSY THIS OPENING
AND WE HAD AN INCREDIBLE TURNOUT
AND IT'S BEEN AN INCREDIBLY LONG
COUPLE OF WEEKS JUST TRYING TO
REBUILD AND GET EVERYBODY BACK
TO WORK AND EVERYTHING ORGANIZED
AND CLEANED UP.
THERE WAS SUCH A GREAT TURNOUT
OF VOLUNTEERS AND EVERYBODY
THERE DOING WHAT HAD TO BE DONE.
THEY HELPED TO GET EVERYTHING
BACK TO THE WAY THAT IT WAS.
AND I'M THANKFUL THAT I HAVE A
ROOF OVER MY HEAD BECAUSE,
FRANKLY, I GOT OFF LUCKY
COMPARED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT
HERE.
AND I HOPE THAT THE VOLUNTEERING
KEEPS GOING AND WE GET THIS
COMMUNITY BACK TOGETHER AGAIN AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE.
>> Adrienne: SO A COUPLE
THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT THIS PLACE, IT'S BEEN OPEN
FOR DECADES AND THEY FED PEOPLE
EVEN AT THE WORST OF TIMES.
YOU MAY HAVE SEEN A PICTURE OF A
TREE SORT OF COLLAPSING ON TO
WHAT LOOKED LIKE A TENT THERE.
THAT WAS A YURT THAT HOUSED
THEIR GIFT SHOP.
BECAUSE THEY HAD NO POWER THEY
LUCKILY SENT SOMEONE HOME FROM
THAT YURT JUST ABOUT HALF AN
HOUR BEFORE THE TORNADO.
SO LOTS OF MERCIES TO BE
THANKFUL FOR TODAY.
THAT IS "THE NATIONAL" FOR
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7th.
GOODNIGHT.
