[♪♪♪] >> Ian: THE MESSAGE FROM FORECASTERS TO PEOPLE IN ATLANTIC CANADA IS CLEAR TONIGHT. HURRICANE FIONA IS HEADING THEIR WAY. A BIG STORM THAT COULD BE HISTORIC AND DESTRUCTIVE, AND PEOPLE NEED TO BE PREPARED.
RIGHT NOW, FEE OWE KNOW IS CHURNING IN THE ATLANTIC -- FIONA IS CHURNING IN THE ATLANTIC AS A CATEGORY FOUR HURRICANE. IT'S EXPECTED TO TRANSITION TO A POST TROPICAL STORM AS IT HEADS NORTH, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GOING TO GET WEAKER. AS KAYLA HOUNSELL SHOW US, SOME PEOPLE ARE NOW RUSHING TO GET READY. >> Reporter: THESE FARMERS ARE PICKING APPLES EARLY, HOPING TO SAVE WHAT THEY CAN BEFORE THE HURRICANE HITS. >> WHEN YOU SEE IT ACTUALLY HEADING TOWARDS US, IT'S, LIKE, YOUR STOMACH FALLS.
>> Reporter: ERS AE WATCHING FORECASTS CAUTIOUSLY AND PLANNING ACCORDINGLY. >> AS SOON AS YOU START TALKING ABOUT GUSTS OF 100, THAT'S WHEN THINGS ON THE FARM CAN BE BAD. >> Reporter: THE CANADIAN HURRICANE CENTRE NOW SAYS THERE IS NO DOUBT FIONA WILL HIT ATLANTIC CANADA. >> DEFINITELY WE'RE LOOKING AT SOME SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ACROSS MOST OF EASTERN CANADA, WITH POWER OUTAGES, FLOODING, AND WIND DAMAGE, SO IT IS GOING TO BE A VERY SERIOUS STORM. >> Reporter: EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS ARE ALSO USING VERY STRONG LANGUAGE. >> ALL QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN REMOVED AS TO WHETHER THIS STORM WILL HAPPEN.
IT'S NOW CERTAIN. FIONA WILL IMPACT OUR PROVINCE, AND IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE VERY DANGEROUS. >> Reporter: THEY'RE URGING PEOPLE TO TAKE THE THREAT SERIOUSLY. >> WAVE WATCHERS AND SURFERS NEED TO KEEP AWAY FROM COASTAL AREAS. IF YOU LIVE IN COASTAL COMMUNITIES, YOU NEED TO BE PREPARED TO LEAVE AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE.
>> THE STORM IS COMING AND WE NEED TO BE READY TO PREPARE OURSELVES. >> Reporter: PEOPLE ARE PREPARING, LINING UP FOR PROPANE, STOCKING UP ON GROCERIES, AND PICKING APPLES. FORECASTERS ARE SAYING IT'S FORECAST TO BE BIGGER THAN JUAN IN 2003 AND DORIAN THAN 2019.
THEY'RE HOPING TO AVOID IT THIS TIME AROUND, BUT SAY EITHER WAY THEY'VE RECOVERED BEFORE AND WILL AGAIN. >> Ian: KAYLA, WE KNOW ATLANTIC CANADIANS DON'T GET WORKED UP WITH STORMS VERY OFTEN. WHAT ARE YOU HEARING? >> Reporter: YEAH. WE ARE RESILIENT.
WE GET A LOT OF THEM, BUT I HAVE TO SAY, THIS ONE IS FEELING LIVE. WHEN I TALKED TO PEOPLE YESTERDAY, THEY WERE CALM, RELAXED, BUT TODAY, THEY'RE TAKING IT SERIOUSLY. I'VE BEEN COVERING STORMS FOR 13 YEARS NOW, AND I HAVEN'T HEARD WARNINGS QUITE LIKE THIS. >> Ian: ALL RIGHT.
KAYLA, THANK YOU. >>> CBC'S METEOROLOGIST JAY SCOTLAND IS IN CHARLOTTETOWN, AND JAY, YOU'RE ALREADY STARTING TO FEEL IMPACTS FROM FIONA. >> Jay: YEAH.
THERE IS THE TRACK. IT'S ALMOST 1600, 1700 KILOMETRES SOUTH FROM WHERE I AM, BUT WE HAVE A SYSTEM THAT IS WORKING ITS WAY ACROSS THE MARITIMES, SO THE RAIN THAT'S FALLING IS ACTUALLY STARTING TO SIPHON OFF THE HURRICANE'S MOISTURE, ADVANCING RAINFALL IN ADVANCE OF THE STORM. AS FOR THE STORM TRACK ITSELF, YOU CAN SEE IT MOVING, STILL A HURRICANE, BUT JUST BEFORE IT MAKES LANDFALL, THAT TRANSITION TO A POST TROPICAL STORM PRODUCING VERY HEAVY WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN AS IT WORKS ITS WAY INTO THE MARITIMES EARLY ON SATURDAY MORNING AND THEN UP INTO NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR, AS WELL.
>> Ian: GIVE US A SENSE OF WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE BRACING FOR? >> Jay: WELL, STRONG WINDS. WE ARE LOOKING AT THE CORE OF THE TRACK, GUSTS 100 TO 140 KILOMETRES AN HOUR. OTHER AREAS, GUSTS TO 100.
TREES ARE STILL VERY HEAVY AS IT'S JUST THE FIRST DAY OF FALL, AND ROOTS WILL BE SATURATED. THIS IS FLOODING RAIN IN TERMS OF HEAVY INLAND FLOODING AS WELL AS THE COASTAL IMPACTS HAVE A ONE TO TWO-METRE STORM SURGE IN P.E.I., WAVES AS HIGH AS 10 TO 12 METRES AS WE LOOK AT THE SHORES OF CAPE BRETON INTO THE CABOT STRAIT. >> Ian: JAY, THANK YOU. >> Jay: NO WORRIES. >> Ian: VISITS TO FOOD BANKS WERE AT AN ALL TIME HIGH LAST MONTH IN TORONTO.
IDIL MUSSA SHOWS US HOW IT'S FORCING SOME PEOPLE TO MAKE DIFFICULT CHOICES. >> Reporter: MORE CANADIANS THAN EVER ARE REPORTEDLY REACHING OUT TO FOOD BANKS TO FEED THEIR FAMILY, INCLUDING THIS WOMAN, ALI. ALI SAYS SHE SOMETIMES RESORTS TO EXTREME MEASURES TO MAKE SURE HER FAMILY GETS FED. >> SOMETIMES NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO PURCHASE ANYTHING, SO I HAVE TO STICK TO ME. THAT'S THE BEST OPTION. >> Reporter: TORONTO AREA FOOD BANKS CALL THE ISSUE A CRISIS.
IT SAYS THERE WERE 182,000 VISITS TO FOOD BANKS LAST MONTH ALONE. THAT'S UP 70% BEFORE THE PANDEMIC. >> WHAT WOULD I DO IF THERE WERE 182,000 FLOOD VICTIMS? 182,000 PEOPLE WITHOUT POWER? WE'D STEP UP. >> UNFORTUNATELY, BUSINESS IS BOOMING AT THE CALGARY FOOD BANK. >> Reporter: EXPERTS SAY A LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND INCOME SECURITY ARE ALSO AGGRAVATING THE SITUATION.
>> FOOD INSECURITY IS NOT ABOUT A LACK OF FOOD, IT'S ABOUT A LACK OF FUNDS. >> Reporter: SOME CANADIANS SAY THEY FEAR IN THE COMING MONTHS, THINGS ARE ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. >> IT'S GOING TO BE THE HOLIDAY SEASON, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE SPENDING MONEY WE DON'T HAVE, AND IF IT'S GOING TO BE COMING DOWN TO CHOICES TO FOOD AND BILLS AND GIFTS. >> Reporter: ECONOMISTS SAY THAT WHILE INFLATION HAS COOLED SOMEWHAT, FOOD PRICES CONTINUE TO CLIMB.
IDIL MUSSA, CBC NEWS, TORONTO. >> Ian: JUSTIN TRUDEAU AND PIERRE POILIEVRE CLASHED OVER THE COST OF LIVING TODAY. IT WAS THE FIRST QUESTION HERD WITH POILIEVRE AS LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION. TOM PARRY LOOKS AT THE NEW DYNAMIC ON PARLIAMENT HILL.
>> Reporter: HE'S BEEN HERE BEFORE, JUST NOT IN THIS ROLE. PIERRE POILIEVRE TAKING ON PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU FOR THE FIRST TIME AS CONSERVATIVE PARTY LEADER. >> THE LEADER OF THE LIBERAL PARTY HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESPECT THE FACT THAT HEATING YOUR HOME IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY IN CANADA IS NOT A LUXURY. >> Reporter: POILIEVRE GOING AFTER HIS OPPONENT ON A TIMELY TOPIC, THE HIGH COST OF LIVING, DEMANDING THE GOVERNMENT CANCEL PLANNED HIKES TO E.I. AND CANADA PENSION PLAN PREMIUMS AND ROLL BACK ITS PRICE ON CARBON EMISSIONS. >> CANADIANS CAN'T AFFORD A BIGGER BITE OFF THEIR PAYCHECKS.
WILL THE PRIME MINISTER CANCEL HIS TAX HIKES ON CANADIAN PAYCHECKS? >> Reporter: TRUDEAU TOOK A SHOT BACK, MENTIONING THE OPPOSITION LEADER'S POSITION ON CRYPTO CURRENCIES DURING HIS TIME ON THE JOB. >> Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: -- THEY WOULD HAVE LOST HALF OF THEIR SAVINGS. >> Reporter: TRUDEAU HAS FACED DOWN TWO PREVIOUS OPPOSITION LEADERS: ERIN O'TOOLE AND ANDREW SCHEER. CONSERVATIVE PARTY MEMBERS ARE HOPING FOR A BETTER RESULT THIS TIME, BACKING THEIR NEW LEADER WITH A TIGHTLY FOCUSED MESSAGE.
>> MR. SPEAKER, THE NEW CONSERVATIVE LEADER WILL PUT PEOPLE FIRST. >> THE NEW CONSERVATIVE LEADER IS PUTTING PEOPLE AND THEIR RETIREMENT, THEIR PAYCHECKS, HOMES, AND INTEREST FIRST.
>> Reporter: TODAY'S EXCHANGE WAS A SOMEWHAT SUBDUED AFFAIR, BUT IT'S EARLY. TRUDEAU AND POILIEVRE HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO SIZE EACH OTHER UP AND TRY TO LAND SOME BLOWS. TOM PARRY, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA. >> Ian: SO WHAT SHOULD CANADIANS EXPECT IN THE COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS AHEAD? ROSIE AND THE "AT ISSUE" DYNAMIC DISCUSS THE ISSUE AND WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT INFLATION. THAT'S IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES. >>> AS EXPECTED, SOME TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS ARE ABOUT TO BE REMOVED.
INCLUDING THE VACCINE REQUIREMENTS FOR PEOPLE ENTERING CANADA AND RANDOM TESTING AT AIRPORTS. THE ARRIVECAN APP WILL ALSO BECOME OPTIONAL. THE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT IS PLANNED FOR MONDAY. THE CHANGES WOULD BE EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 30.
NOT CLEAR IF MASKS WOULD BE REQUIRED ON PLANES AND TRAINS. >>> NEARLY FOUR YEARS AFTER THE GOVERNMENT LEGALIZED POT, IT'S FINALLY MOVING AHEAD WITH THE CANNABIS ACT. MARINA VON STACKELBERG EXPLAINS WHAT IT'S LOOKING AT AFTER BEING DELAYED BY NEARLY A YEAR. >> WE DIDN'T GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, AND THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING IT RIGHT MOVING FORWARD. >> Reporter: TO DO THAT, CANADIAN GOVERNMENT WILL ASSEMBLE A PANEL OF EXPERTS. REPORTS SAY THAT CANADIANS ARE USING POT LESS, DOWN FROM 20% TO 10.
>> IT WOULD MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR OUR YOUTH TO ACCESS CANADA, AND THAT SEEMS IN THIS SHORT TIME PERIOD, TO HAVE PAID OFF. >> Reporter: BUT LEGALIZATION HAS CREATED NEW HEALTH ISSUES. THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN ACCIDENTALLY INGESTING CANADA HAS SKY ROCKETED. >> WE'VE DONE WELL IN THE PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGN, BUT I THINK IN THE AREA OF EDIBLES, WE NEED TO DO MORE. >> Reporter: THE LATEST NUMBERS FROM STATISTICS CANADA SHOW THAT MORE THAN TWO THIRDS OF USERS CONSUME LEGAL MARIJUANA, BUT THE ILLEGAL MARKET CONTINUE TO POSE A PROBLEM. >> THERE'S NO DOUBT, THEY'RE EXPANDING, THESE ILLEGAL OPERATORS WITH SIDEWALK SANDWICH BOARDS, ADVERTISING THEIR WARES.
>> Reporter: THAT COMPETITION AND AN OVERSATURATED LEGAL MARKET MEANS THAT CANADA'S LEGAL PRODUCERS HAVE THROWN AWAY MORE CANNABIS THAN THEY SELL. THE REVIEW WILL ALSO LOOK AT THE IMPACT OF LEGALIZATION ON INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES. IT'S EXPECTED TO TAKE A YEAR AND A HALF. MARINA VON STACKELBERG, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA. >> Ian: POLICE HAVE ARRESTED A SUSPECT IN MULTIPLE SHOOTINGS WEST OF St. JOHN'S. TWO MEN WERE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL.
31-YEAR-OLD MATTHEW FOWLER TOOK POLICE ON A DRAMATIC CHASE THAT ENDED WHEN OFFICERS DISABLED HIS VEHICLE. >>> THE KREMLIN SAYS ITS MILITARY CALL UP ONLY APPLIES TO RESERVISTS AND THOSE WITH MILITARY EXPERIENCE, BUT TONIGHT, MANY RUSSIANS WORRY THAT IT'S GOING TO BE MUCH WIDER THAN THAT. CHRIS BROWN SHOWS US A COUNTRY WHERE TENSIONS ARE GROWING. >> Reporter: RUSSIANS ARE POSTING VIDEOS OF WHAT SO-CALLED PARTIAL MOBILIZATION LOOKED LIKE. MEN ARE BEING ROUNDED UP, MOSTLY FROM POORER REGIONS.
10,000 SIGNED UP ON SAY ONE WILLINGLY, CLAIMS RUSSIA. BUT IN THIS AREA, WHERE WAR CASUALTIES HAVE ALREADY BEEN AMONG THE WORST, THERE ARE SHOUTING MATCHES. THEY'RE FIGHTING FOR OUR FUTURE SAYS A RECRUITING OFFICER. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A PRESENT, SAYS ONE MAN WHO REFUSED TO GO.
OTHERS ARE FLEEING WHILE THEY STILL CAN, WITH PACKED FLIGHTS LEAVING MOSCOW AND LONG LINES AT LAND BORDERS. EARLIER THIS MONTH, UKRAINE CAPTURED A BIG AREA NEAR KHARKIV AND IS PUSHING HARD NEAR KHERSON. WEDNESDAY, PUTIN THREATENED TO AGAIN USE NUCLEAR WEAPONS, THIS TIME TO DEFEND AREA IT'S SEIZED FROM UKRAINE. ANY ANNEXATION OF A STATE'S TERRITORY BY ANOTHER STATE RESULTING FROM A THREAT OR USE OF FORCE IS A VIOLATION OF THE U.N. CHARTER, SAID ANTONIO
GUTERREZ. UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY IS ALSO CLAIMING A VICTORY AFTER A SURPRISE PRISONER SWAP. IT INCLUDED COMMANDERS OF THE AZOV REGIMENT.
THIS INDICATES THAT RUSSIA IS SLOWING GIVING UP ALREADY. IN EXCHANGE, UKRAINE EXCHANGED VICTOR MEDVECHUK, WHO RUSSIA ATTEMPTED TO INSTALL AS UKRAINE'S PUPPET PRESIDENT. CHRIS BROWN, CBC NEWS, LONDON. >> Ian: AS YOU SAW, RUSSIA WAS CONDEMNED AT THE U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL.
ITS RESPONSE CAME IN BOTH WORDS AND ACTIONS. [SPEAKING ALTERNATE LANGUAGE] >> Ian: AFTER ARRIVING LATE TO THE MEETING, RUSSIA'S FOREIGN MINISTER DECLARED UKRAINE A TOTALITARIAN NAZI LIKE STATE AND SHORTLY AFTER LEFT. >> HE'S LEFT THE CHAMBER. I'M NOT SURPRISED.
I DON'T THINK MR. LAVROV WANTS TO HEAR THE COLLECTIVE CONDEMNATION OF THIS COUNCIL. >> Ian: BUT CONDEMNATION IS LIKELY THE HARSHEST PUNISHMENT RUSSIA WILL RECEIVE.
THEY HAVE A PERMANENT SEAT ON THE COUNCIL. >>> SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEO SHOWS PROTESTERS ATTACKING POLICE, EVEN SETTING FIRE TO A BILLBOARD, AND SHOUTING DEATH TO THE DICTATOR. THE PROTESTS STARTED AFTER THE DEATH OF A 22-YEAR-OLD KURDISH WOMAN IN TEHRAN, MAHSA AMINI, AFTER ARREST BY THE MORALITY POLICE. SHE DIED IN CUSTODY. TODAY, THE UNITED STATES ANNOUNCED SANCTIONS ON IRAN'S MORALITY POLICE, CITING ABUSE OF WOMEN AND PROTESTERS.
>>> CBC NEWS HAS LEARNED THAT CANADA WILL NAME A NEW AMBASSADOR TO CHINA. JENNIFER YOON PREVIOUSLY SERVED AS CANADA'S AMBASSADOR TO BRAZIL. A SOURCE TOLD CBC NEWS SHE SPEAKS FIVE LANGUAGES, INCLUDING MANDARIN. >>> OTTAWA SAYS CANADA HAS NOW TAKEN IN 20,000 AFGHAN REFUGEES SINCE LAST SUMMER.
THAT'S HALF THE NUMBER IT PROMISED, BUT SOME REFUGEES HERE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS INCLUDED. RAFFY BOUDJIKANIAN TALKED TO SOME OF THEM. >> Reporter: BECAUSE OF THIS MAN'S JOB AS A FORMER CANADIAN INTERPRETER, HE KNEW THAT THE TALIBAN TAKE OVER OF AFGHANISTAN WAS GOING TO PUT THE LINES OF HIS EXTENDED FAMILY AT RISK, SO JUST BEFORE THE TALIBAN TOOK OVER, HE HELPED THEM GET TO A NEIGHBOURING COUNTRY. A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT STARTED A PROGRAMME TO FAST TRACK IMMIGRATION APPLICATIONS FOR FAMILY MEMBERS LIKE THEM.
HE APPLIED BUT WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T QUALIFY BECAUSE THEY LEFT BEFORE THE PROGRAMME BEGAN. >> I NEVER EXPECTED THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA TO GIVE ME THAT REALLY BAD NEWS. >> Reporter: CBC NEWS HAS SPOKEN TO TWO OTHER FORMER MILITARY EMPLOYEES WHOSE FAMILIES ALSO MADE IT TO THE COUNTRY AND GOT THE SAME KIND OF BAD NEWS FROM CANADA. IT GOT EVEN WORSE FOR ONE OF THEM.
>> THEY TOOK HIM OVER TO THE BORDER AND FORCEFULLY DEPORTED HIM. >> Reporter: THIS MAN HAD HIS YOUNGER BROTHER SENT BACK TO AFGHANISTAN. HOW THEY LIVE IN HIDING. >> WE LOST ALL OUR LIFE THERE. OUR HOUSE, OUR PROPERTY, EVERYTHING, SO WHERE IS HE GOING TO GO RIGHT NOW? >> Reporter: THIS REFUGEE ATTORNEY SAYS CANADA SHOULD COME UP WITH WAYS TO HELP AFGHANS.
>> IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, IT WOULD MAKE SENSE THAT THERE WOULD BE A MEASURE OF FLEXIBILITY, GIVEN THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS' LIVES ARE AT STAKE. >> Reporter: BUT THE IMMIGRATION MINISTER ACKNOWLEDGES THE SITUATION IS BAD FOR THOSE ALREADY SENT BACK. >> WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH OUR COUNTERPARTS IN GLOBAL AFFAIRS TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO ENTER ANYONE WHO QUALIFIES FOR CANADA'S PROGRAMME ARE STILL ABLE TO MAKE IT.
>> Reporter: MEANWHILE, TIME IS RUNNING SHORT FOR LOVED ONES. RAFFY BOUDJIKANIAN, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA. >> Ian: THE PRIME MINISTER RETURNED TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS AND TO SHARP WORDS FROM THE OPPOSITION. >> WILL THE PRIME MINISTER GROUND THE JET, PARK THE HYPOCRISY, AND CANCEL THE TAX HIKES. >> Ian: DOES PIERRE POILIEVRE CANCEL THE POLITICAL PARTY FOR TRUDEAU? ROSIE AND THE "AT ISSUE" GROUP ARE HERE. >>> PLUS, HONOURING MEMBERS OF A LEGENDARY TEAM 50 YEARS AFTER THEY BEAT THE SOVIETS.
>>> BUT FIRST, A NEW >> Ian: PARTY LEADERS -- QUEBEC PARTY LEADERS MET TONIGHT FOR A FINAL DEBATE BEFORE THE PROVINCIAL ELECTION. FOR RIVALS OF THE C.A.Q. LEADER FRANÇOIS LEGAULT, A CHANCE TO AT LEAST REDUCE HIS LEAD IN THE POLLS. LEGAULT'S CAMPAIGN HAS COME UNDER FIRE FOR ITS STANCE ON LANGUAGE AND PROVINCIAL HEALTH.
ALISON NORTHCOTT WAS THERE. >> Reporter: THIS DEBATE PUT THE FOCUS ON INDIGENOUS ISSUES. >> IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT WE CREATE THE SPACE TONIGHT. OTTAWA IS -- YOU KNOW, NOBODY'S GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT OUR ISSUES. >> IT'S IMPORTANT AS A VOTER AND AS AN INDIGENOUS PERSON AND AS A FUTURE DOCTOR TO BE AWARE OF WHAT THE POLITICIANS HAVE TO SAY. >> Reporter: FOR THIS MED STUDENT WATCHING THE EVENT, HEALTH CARE IS KEY.
>> WITH EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED, IT JUST RANG A -- WITH JOYCE, IT JUST RANG A BELL THAT EVERYBODY HAD TO DO SOMETHING. >> Reporter: JOYCE ECHAQUAN FILMED A VIDEO OF HOSPITAL STAFF RIDICULING HER SHORTLY BEFORE SHE DIED. MORE WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE, SAID THE FORMER INDIGENOUS AFFAIRS MINISTER, BUT HE SAID THOUSANDS OF HEALTH CARE WORKERS HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED CULTURAL HEALTH CARE SAFETY TRAINING. >> THERE'S SYSTEMIC RACISM IN QUEBEC.
THE LIST OF EXAMPLES IS LONG. >> Reporter: IN 2007, THE FIRST AND ONLY INDIGENOUS PERSON ELECTED TO THE PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE SINCE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE GOT THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN 1969. HE'S HEARTENED BY THE NUMBER OF INDIGENOUS CANDIDATES IN THIS ELECTION. >> WE KNOW THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY WILL BE CRUCIAL FOR US TO TRUST THE SYSTEM MORE.
>> THERE NEEDS TO BE A BETTER CONSULTATION PROCESS. WE NEED A BETTER CONNECTION WITH THE COST. >> Reporter: HE SAYS BETTER REPRESENTATION IN THE LEGISLATURE WOULD BE A GOOD STARTING POINT. ALISON NORTHCOTT, CBC NEWS, MONTREAL. >> Ian: INAUGURATE FLIGHT OF CANADA'S NEWEST -- INAUGURAL FLIGHT OF CANADA'S NEWEST AIRLINE TOOK OFF TODAY. IT'S ONE OF SEVERAL RELATIVELY NEW AIRLINES PRESENTING THEMSELVES AS LOW COST OPTIONS.
>>> INSTEAD OF WINGS, SEVERAL SUPERHEROES DONNED CAPES TO FLY HIGH. WHY WERE THEY WASHING WINDOWS? >>> BUT FIRST, ROSIE AND "AT ISSUE." >> Rosemary: THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED QUESTION PERIOD BETWEEN [♪♪♪] >> THE LEADER OF THE LIBERAL PARTY HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESPECT THE FACT THAT HEATING YOUR HOME IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY IN CANADA IS NOT A LUXURY, AND IT DOES NOT MAKE THOSE CANADIANS POLLUTERS. THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE. THIS FROM A PRIME MINISTER WHO BURNED MORE JET FUEL IN ONE MONTH THAN 20 AVERAGE CANADIANS BURN IN AN ENTIRE YEAR. SO WILL THE PRIME MINISTER GROUND THE JET, PARK THE HYPOCRISY, AND PAUSE THE TAX HIKES? >> Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO STAY FOCUSED ON DIRECT AND REAL HEALTH FOR CANADIANS, RESPONDING TO THE CHALLENGES THEY'RE FACING WITH MEANINGFUL MEASURES THAT ARE GOING TO HELP MILLIONS OF CANADIANS, THE MIDDLE CLASS, AND THOSE WORKING TO JOIN IT.
>> Rosemary: THE FIRST QUESTION PERIOD BETWEEN JUSTIN TRUDEAU AND PIERRE POILIEVRE. DID IT LIVE UP TO THE HYPE? GOOD TO SEE EVERYONE. CHANTAL, I'LL START WITH YOU. WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF THIS FIRST FIERY EXCHANGE BETWEEN THE TWO LEADERS? >> IT'S LIKE WATCHING PAINT DRY. IT NEVER LIVES UP TO THE HYPE.
LET'S AGREE ON THIS. EVERY TIME THE HOUSE COMES BACK, EVERYONE SAYS OH, THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT, AND AFTER, WHAT, TEN MINUTES? PEOPLE SAY SAME OLD, SAME OLD, AND EVERYTHING IS ACTUALLY NEW AGAIN FROM THE MIDDLE CLASS AND THOSE WORKING HARD TO JOIN US. REMEMBER THAT LINE THAT WAS REPEATED TIME AND AGAIN BY JUSTIN TRUDEAU AFTER 2015, BUT ALSO ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE BECAUSE BASICALLY WHAT WE'VE SEEN ALL WEEK CULMINATING IN TODAY'S QUESTION PERIOD IS A REMAKE OF THE CARBON TAX IS KILLING YOU MOVIE THAT THE CONSERVATIVES USED OVER THE LAST TERM OF STEPHEN HARPER AND MOVING FORWARD, PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THE CARBON TAX IS THE LAST THING THAT THE LIBERALS ARE GOING TO DROP. THEY'VE MAKE THAT ARGUMENT SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY'VE LOST IT SEVERAL TIMES. >> Rosemary: ELAMIN, WHAT DO YOU THINK? >> I THINK WHAT IS SORT OF STANDING OUT TO ME IS PIERRE POILIEVRE IS PIERRE POILIEVRE'S BEST POLITICAL WEAPON. HE HAS TO KIND OF SHOULDER THE BURDEN.
I THINK HE KIND OF HAS TO WALK AN INTERESTING FINE LINE BETWEEN BEING A LITTLE BIT TOO AGGRESSIVE BUT ALSO SEEMINGLY BEING ON MESSAGE, SO I DO THINK THAT IT WAS A GOOD -- GREAT QUESTION PERIOD PERFORMANCE, IT'S JUST I DON'T THINK WE'RE USED TO SEEING THIS KIND OF A PERFORMANCE FROM A LEADER. NORMALLY, YOU DEFER THAT TO ONE OF YOUR ATTACK DOGS. [indiscernible]. >> Rosemary: ALTHIA? >> I WOULD SAY THEY'VE ALL BECOME ATTACK DOGS. IT WAS INTERESTING TO ME IN THE HOUSE TODAY.
IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN VERY EXCITING. I WOULD SAY IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE EXCITING THAN WATCHING PAINT DRY, BUT IT DEFINITELY DID NOT LIVE UP TO THE HYPE. WHAT WAS CLEAR THAT THE PRIME MINISTER AND THE LEADER OF THE OFFICIAL OPPOSITION SEEMED TO BE ENJOYING THEIR NEW ROLES, AND THEY WERE HAVING A LOT OF FUN ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE.
I WOULD SAY THE BIGGEST THING IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS WAS ON TUESDAY WHEN MR. POILIEVRE HAD HIS FIRST QUESTION PERIOD AND WHAT WE WERE GOING TO SEE OVER THE COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS IS BOTH PARTIES' VIEWS OF THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY. YOU DO HAVE A VERY CONSERVATIVE LEADER OF THAT PARTY NOW. YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY WHO REALLY DOES BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO TAX HIKES ON CANADIANS, WHO BELIEVES THAT THE BEST SOCIAL SAFETY NET IS YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR COMMUNITY.
THAT IS A VERY DIFFERENT VISION THAN THE VISION OF THE LIBERAL PARTY, SO I THINK WE ARE GOING TO SEE CHANGE. IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN FIREWORKS TODAY, BUT THERE WILL BE LOTS ON POLICY TO DISAGREE ON AND LOTS TO DISAGREE ON. >> Rosemary: ANDREW? >> WELL, IT CERTAINLY GOES TO SERVE HOW VAST THE SPACE IS BETWEEN THEM. THE TORIES ARE NOT UP FOR THE DOUBLING OF THE G.S.T. AND THE LIBERALS FOR THE LIFTING OF THE COVID RESTRICTIONS.
QUESTION PERIOD, WE WERE REMINDED OF ITS BENEFITS AND DEFECTS, AND I'LL JUST DWELL ON THE DEFECTS. QUESTIONS THAT WEREN'T QUESTIONS, ANSWERS THAT WEREN'T ANSWERS, AND MISTAKES. LIBERALS WANT TO BRING IN TAX HIKES AND CONSERVATIVES WANT TO BRING IN SPENDING FREEZES.
LIBERALS ARE GOING TO REIGNITE INFLATION WITH THESE RELATIVELY MINOR INFLATIONS IN BENEFIT. BOTH PARTIES TEND TO EXAGGERATE THE DIVIDES AND THE STAKES BETWEEN THEM BECAUSE IT SUITS BOTH OF THEIR BASES TO DO SO, WHEREAS IN CANADA, THE DIFFERENCES ARE USUALLY BETWEEN THE 45 YARD LINES. >> Rosemary: CHANTAL, WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND? >> I DO THINK THAT THERE ARE PARTIES IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS THAT ARE PROBABLY WORRIED ABOUT HOW THIS IS INCREASINGLY BEING FRAMED, AND IT WORKS BETWEEN A JUSTIN TRUDEAU AND PIERRE POILIEVRE, AND I THINK THAT JAGMEET SINGH AND YVES-FRANCOIS BLANCHET HAS TO WORRY ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THEY WERE BOTH ON THE SIDELINES IN MANY WAYS THIS WEEK.
HOW DO THEY SPEAK FOR A CONSTITUENCY WORTH HAVING IF THIS TURNS INTO A DUEL THAT WILL HAVE ITS VERY LAST EPISODE IN THE NEXT ELECTION. SO I TALK THE DYNAMIC ON THAT SCORE DOES MEAN THAT THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE. >> Rosemary: AND POTENTIAL TROUBLE.
ALTHIA, YOU WANTED IN ON THAT? >> YEAH, I THINK YOU SAW THAT THIS WEEK WITH THE N.D.P. KIND OF REPOSITIONING ITSELF, NOT JUST IN TERMS OF THEIR SOFT LAUNCH OF AN ATTACK AGAINST PIERRE POILIEVRE, BUT IN THE GROUPING OF PIERRE POILIEVRE AND JUSTIN TRUDEAU BEING CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH. SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BUT BOTH INEFFECTIVE, AND THE RHETORIC AROUND BOTH LEADERS IS QUITE INTERESTING. MR. TRUDEAU IS QUITE ENTITLED, ACCORDING TO THE N.D.P., AND MR. PIERRE POILIEVRE IS A SNAKE
OIL SALESMAN, A SILVER TONGUED SNAKE OIL SALESMAN, SO IT IS INTERESTING HOW THEY'RE STRUGGLING TO POSITION. >> Rosemary: IT MAKES IT A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT TO CRITICIZE. >> YEAH, AND TO GET UPDATES DAY IN AND DAY OUT, AND YET YOU BEING THE REASON THE LIBERALS ARE STILL IN POWER. >> Rosemary: ELAMIN? >> [indiscernible] AROUND 23%. I THINK THAT WAS SURPRISING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY'VE BEEN ABSENT IN A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS, BUT MAYBE THEY'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF WORK.
I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT IS THE E.I. MEASURES THAT ARE SET TO BE EXPIRING THIS COMING SATURDAY. >> Rosemary: ANDREW? >> JUST THAT THEIR ATTACK LINES HAVE MORE LINES THAN THE LIBERAL DEFENCE LINES.
THE -- THE ATTACK LINE THE LIBERALS ARE USING IN DEFENCE OF HARPING ON POILIEVRE'S ENDORSEMENT OF BITCOIN AND CRYPTO CURRENCIES, I THINK THAT'S GOT A SHELF LIFE OF MAYBE A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE PEOPLE GET REALLY TIRED OF IT. >> Rosemary: OKAY. WE'LL TALK WITH SOMETHING ELSE THAT MAY HAVE A SHELF LIFE WHEN WE COME BACK AFTER A BREAK ON "AT ISSUE." THE GOVERNMENT IS TALKING ABOUT [♪♪♪] >> Rosemary: AS YOU HEARD AT THE TOP OF THE SHOW, THE GOVERNMENT IS MOVING TO END SOME PANDEMIC TRAVEL RULES. VACATION REQUIREMENTS, RANDOM TESTING COULD END BY THE END OF THE MONTH.
WE'RE ALSO TOLD THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS PLANNING TO MAKE THE ARRIVECAN APP OPTIONAL. CHANTELL, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS? THE CONSERVATIVES ARE SAYING OH, THIS IS JUST FOR POLITICAL TIMING. THE GOVERNMENT IS SAYING, WE DON'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT THE DATA AND SCIENTIFIC DATA TO BACK IT? >> OKAY. ONE, SCIENTIFIC DATA, WHILE THERE IS SCIENTIFIC DATA TO BACK THE GOVERNMENT FOR HAVING KEPT THIS IN PLACE THE ENTIRE SUMMER, IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T SHOW IN COMPARISON TO ALL THE OTHER COUNTRIES IN EUROPE AND ELSEWHERE WHO DROPPED ALL THOSE REQUIREMENTS BEFORE THE TOURIST SEASON, SO I'M NOT SURE THERE'S BEEN A HUGE CHANGE IN THE SCIENCE AT THIS POINT.
TO THE CONSERVATIVE POINT THAT THEY'RE DOING THAT BECAUSE OF US, WELL, THEY WERE ALWAYS GOING TO DO THIS FOR SEPTEMBER 30 BECAUSE THE LAST TIME THEY EXTENDED ALL THOSE MEASURES, THEY WERE DUE TO EXPIRE ON SEPTEMBER 30. >> Rosemary: RIGHT. >> SO THE DEADLINE WAS THERE. IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER WHAT HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 10 FROM THAT ANGLE, BUT, I MEAN, SOMEONE ON TWITTER MUCH SMARTER THAN ME ON TWITTER TWEETED THAT THIS IS LIKE SOMEONE TAKING DOWN THEIR CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS ON JULY 1. >> Rosemary: YEAH, BUT DOES THIS NEUTER THE CONSERVATIVES' ARGUMENTS BECAUSE IT WAS A BIG ISSUE DURING THE LEADERSHIP CAMPAIGN? ELAMIN? >> NO.
THEY WERE SAYING TRAVEL IS NOT WORKING, AIRPORTS ARE NOT WORKING, TRAVEL IS A MESS, AND IT IS SOMETHING TO KEEP OUR EYE ON ALL SUMMER AROUND, AND FINALLY COMING TO THIS POINT AND GETTING RID OF IT, IT ALLOWS THE CONSERVATIVES TO SAY THEY ACTED A LITTLE BIT TOO LATE. THAT IS CERTAINLY GOING TO BE THE ARGUMENT THAT THEY MAKE, BUT TO SAY THAT ARRIVECAN WAS PARTICULARLY HELPFUL ALL SUMMER, IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT WAS. >> Rosemary: ANDREW? >> I THINK IT'S BEEN FAIRLY TRANSPARENT ATTEMPT FOR A NUMBER OF PEOPLE, A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PARTIES AND INTERESTS TO TRY TO SCAPEGOAT IT. IF YOU'RE THE AIRPORTS INDUSTRY AND LAID OFF A -- AIRLINES INDUSTRY AND LAID OFF A BUNCH OF PEOPLE AND DIDN'T HIRE BACK FAST ENOUGH, TEZ AE AE OTHER TO BLAME THE APP FOR THE DELAY -- IT'S EASY TO BLAME THE APP FOR THE DELAY THAT IT TAKES 30 SECONDS TO GET DONE. THEY WERE GOING TO REMOVE THE RESTRAINTS AT SOME POINT ANY WAY, BUT I DON'T DOUBT FOR ONE SECOND IT'S DRIVEN BY POLITICS.
YOU WANT TO TAKE THIS OFF THE TABLE WHEN IT'S A DRIVING IRRITANT, PARTICULARLY WHEN YOUR OPPONENT HAS MADE SOME HAY OUT OF IT. -- SUCH HAY OUT OF IT. >> Rosemary: ALTHIA? >> I THINK THERE'S SOME CABINET MINISTERS WHO WERE FAR MORE PRUDENT THAN OTHER CABINET MINISTERS WHO WOULD HAVE LIKED THIS TO HAPPEN SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. AND THE PRUDENT SIDE AND THE MORE PRUDENT SIDE IS COMING TOGETHER.
I DON'T LIKE THAT THAT'S THE STORY, BUT THAT'S THE STORY. YES, THEY HAVE NOT SHOWN THE DATA FOR WHY THEY'RE MOVING NOW. CHANTAL IS RIGHT. IN FACT, THEY'VE NOT EVEN SHOWN US THE DATA FOR CHANGES THEY MADE IN JULY. IF YOU'LL REMEMBER, THEY CHANGED THE WAY THAT TESTING WAS DONE IN JULY.
YOU WENT TO THE AIRPORT, AND YOU WERE NO LONGER TESTED THERE, YOU WENT AND GOT A SELF-TEST OR YOU WERE TESTED AT A PHARMACY. THE RISKS ARE LOWER, THERE'S DIFFERENT WAYS TO TREAT COVID, HOSPITALS ARE NO LONGER BEING SWARMED. THE GOVERNMENT IS ACTING BASED ON THE INFORMATION THEY RECEIVED. COULD THEY HAVE ACTED SOONER? YES, PROBABLY. >> Rosemary: OKAY.
WE'LL HAVE TO LEAVE IT THERE UNTIL NEXT WEEK. THANK YOU ALL. I'LL THROW IT BACK TO IAN. >> Ian: THANKS, ROSIE.
>>> FISHERMEN ARE GETTING A CHANCE AT SOCKEYE SALMON, BUT NOT FOR LONG. WHY A NEW GOVERNMENT SCHEME COULD LEAVE SOME WITH NO FISH AND NO CASH. >>> PLUS >> Ian: YOU'RE LOOKING AT AN URGENT RESCUE MISSION IN TASMANIA AFTER 230 POD WHALES WERE STRANDED. THEY HAD TO BE TOWED TO BE RELEASED, AND THE HOPE IS THEY WON'T GET STRANDED AGAIN. >>> AND THE SOCKEYE SEASON IS UNDER WAY, BUT THERE'S WORRIES THAT THERE WON'T BE ENOUGH. >> DOING IT OFF THE FRASER RIVER IS, YOU KNOW, IN MY OPINION, ONE OF THE BEST FRIENDS WE HAVE ALONG THE COAST.
>> Reporter: THIS PAIR ARE COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN AND FISH UNDER A COMMERCIAL LICENCE ISSUED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES. THIS YEAR, A SMALL WINDOW OPENED TO ALLOW FISHERMEN LIKE THEM TO FISH, BUT THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. IN SOME YEARS, THERE'S NOT ENOUGH SALMON TO ALLOW THE COMMERCIAL FISHERY TO TAKE PLACE. CLIMATE CHANGE AND HABITAT LOSS ARE A FACTOR, BUT THE GOVERNMENT THINKS THERE ARE ALSO TOO MANY FISHING BOATS AND LICENCES.
BY THE END OF THISSER I CAN'T, A LICENCE BUY BACK PROM WILL BEGIN TO ALLOW FISHERMEN TO LEAVE THE INDUSTRY. >> TOO MANY BOATS CHASING TOO FEW FISH. THE INDUSTRY IS CRYING FOR RATIONALIZATION, AND THE WAY WE'RE GOING TO ACHIEVE THAT IS BY TAKING OUT SOME OF THE FISHING VESSELS, AND THE WAY WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT IS BY A BUY BACK.
>> Reporter: BUT SOME COMPLAIN THE PROGRAMME IS TOO FOCUSED. >> YOU TAKE THE VESSEL THAT I'M ON. THERE ARE FIVE HARD WORKING PEOPLE ON THE VESSEL, AND NONE OF THOSE WILL SEE ANYTHING FROM THE LICENCE BUY BACK BECAUSE WE DON'T OWN THE LICENCE. >> Reporter: THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOT DETERMINED A TIMELINE ON THE BUY BACK FOR THE LICENCES. THEY SAY THAT THE VESSELS WILL BE ABLE TO SELL THEIR LICENCES AT BUY BACK THIS YEAR.
>> GET A JOB OUTSIDE OF THIS INDUSTRY BECAUSE IT'S NO -- TO PLACE TO BUILD A FUTURE. >> Reporter: A CHANGING INDUSTRY RESPONDING TO A CHANGING WORLD. >> Ian: IN OTTAWA TODAY, PARLIAMENTARIANS PAID TRIBUTE TO ONE OF THE GREATEST TEAMS IN CANADIAN HOCKEY HISTORY. A STANDING OVATION AND SINGING OF THE ANTHEM FOR SOME TEAM CANADA PLAYERS, WHO, 50 YEARS AGO THIS MONTH, BEAT THE SOVIETS, A THRILLING COME BACK AT THE 1972 COME BACK STORIES.
>> Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: EVERYONE LOVES A GOOD COME BACK STORY, ESPECIALLY ONE THAT UNITED OUR COUNTRY. BUT I REMEMBER GROWING UP PLAYERS LIKE KEN DRYDEN WERE HEROES. THEY WERE HEROES BECAUSE THEY SHOWED US HOW GRIT AND HARD WORK PAID OFF. >> Ian: I RECENTLY GOT TO MEET KEN DRYDEN, ONE OF CANADA'S HALL OF FAME GOALIES.
TALKED TO HIM ABOUT THE GAME AND WHAT STILL STANDS OUT 50 YEARS LATER. >> I THINK IT'S MY MOST VIVID MEMORY OF THE SERIES WAS THE CANADIANS THAT HAD TRAVELLED TO EUROPE. IN 1972, VERY FEW BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN, VERY FEW TO MOSCOW. IT WAS UNDERSTOOD AS THIS ALIEN WORLD AND FRIGHTENING WORLD, AND THERE ARE 3,000 CANADIANS THERE, AND THEY'RE SINGING THEIR LUNGS OUT.
IT WAS SO MOVING. >> Ian: YOU CAN WATCH MY FULL INTERVIEW WITH DRYDEN THIS SUNDAY ON "THE NATIONAL." >>> TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. NOT EVERY DAY WHEN YOU SEE SUPERMAN OR EVEN MR. INCREDIBLE DITCHING THEIR SUPERHERO DAY JOBS TO WASH WINDOWS, BUT THEY'RE DOING IT FOR A GOOD CAUSE, TO BRING SMILES TO THE KIDS BEING TREATED AT THE ALBERTA CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.
THE SUPERHEROES SWOOPING IN TO BRING JOY TO KIDS IS OUR "MOMENT." >> WELL, THE SUPERHEROES SWOOPED IN AND NOTIFIED US TODAY, DO WE NEED ANY HELP, AND WE SAID YES, WE NEED OUR WINDOWS WASHED, AND THEY WERE HAPPY TO HELP. THE CHILDREN LOVE TO SEE THIS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR AGE. IT LIFTS THEIR SPIRITS. >> YOU GET ALL THE SMILES WHEN THEY'RE GOING THROUGH A TOUGH TIME.
I'VE HAD TO BRING MY SON AND DAUGHTER HERE, AND IT'S A SCARY TIME TO BRING THEM INTO THE HOSPITAL, AND SOMETHING TO BRING A LITTLE LEVITY TO THE MOMENT IS WONDERFUL. >> Ian: IT IS PRETTY COOL. I MEAN, I USUALLY LIKE FINISH AFTER THE "MOMENT" WITH A QUIP OR AN ATTEMPT AT A QUIP, BUT NOTHING OTHER THAN A REACTION TO THE KIDS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WINDOW SAY IT ALL. I WILL BE BACK ON SUNDAY, AND GINELLA WILL BE BACK TOMORROW FOR "THE NATIONAL."
THAT IS "THE NATIONAL" FOR SEPTEMBER 22. GOOD NIGHT. [♪♪♪]
