>> IT IS THURSDAY, MARCH 1ST.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
>> ADRIENNE: VLADIMIR PUTIN
THREATENS THE WEST WITH WHAT HE
CALLS AN INVINCIBLE NUCLEAR
WEAPON.
JUST,
HOW MUCH SHOULD THE WORLD WORRY?
>> Andrew: MEC DROPPED BRANDS
LINKED TO GUN MAKERS.
>> DONALD TRUMP THREATENS A
TRADE WAR OVER STEEL.
WHAT IT COULD MEAN FOR REQUEST.
CHANTAL AND ANDREW AND ALTHIA ON
THE INVITATION THAT HAUNTS THE
PRIME MINISTER.
>> VLADIMIR PUTIN MADE NO
SECRETS.
HE WANTS RUSSIA TO RETURN AS A
SUPER POWER.
IN MOSCOW TODAY, FOR THE ANNUAL
ADDRESS TO PARLIAMENT, HE
UNVEILED NEW NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
IN FRONT OF A MASSIVE VIDEO
SCREEN, HE REVEALED WEAPON
SYSTEMS.
AMONG THEM, ILLUSTRATIONS OF A
NEW ICBM.
A NEW CRUISE MISSILE AND A
NUCLEAR TORPEDO THAT COULD CROSS
OCEANS.
THE POINT OF THEM TO DODGE
DETECTION, INVADE MISSILE
DEFENSES.
EVEN IF IT WAS WATCHED BY
DEFENCE THE WORLD OVER, THE
FIRST AUDIENCE WAS DOMESTIC.
AS CHRIS BROWN TELLS US FROM
MOSCOW IT IS AN ELECTION YEAR.
>> REPORTER: TO HEAR VLADIMIR
PUTIN TELL IT, THE CRUISE
MISSILE CARRIED BY THE ROCKET IS
BASICALLY UNSTOPPABLE.
FLYING AT 20 TIMES THE SPEED OF
SOUND, DELIVER A NUCLEAR WARHEAD
TO ANY TARGET IN THE WORLD.
IT GOES LIKE A METEORITE TO THE
TARGET BOASTED PUTIN, LIKE A
FIREBALL.
THEN, IN REFERENCE TO THE UNITED
STATES PULLING OUT OF THE
ANTI-BALLISTIC MISSILE TREATY,
PUTIN ADDED OMINOUSLY, THEY KEPT
IGNORING US, SO LISTEN TO US
NOW.
IT WAS A PROVOCATIVE COLD WAR
STYLE PRESS, THE AUDIENCE OF
LAWMAKERS AND
BUSINESS LEADERS LOVED IT.
THEY GATHERED FOR THE ANNUAL
STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS, BUT
WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
IN JUST A FEW WEEKS, IT WAS ALSO
A CHANCE FOR RUSSIANS TO HEAR
WHAT THEY COULD EXPECT FROM SIX
MORE YEARS OF PUTIN.
THE ANSWER WAS CLEARLY A BIGGER,
MORE AGGRESSIVE MILITARY.
I HOPE ALL THE THINGS I HAVE
SAID TODAY WILL SOBER UP ANY
POTENTIAL AGGRESSOR, INCLUDING
EXPANDING NATO OR MOVING IT
CLOSER TO OUR BORDERS.
IT IS A CERTAINTY, PUTIN WILL BE
RE-ELECTED.
BUT LOW VOTER TURNOUT COULD
TAINT HIS WIN.
HOPING RUSSIA AS A SUPER POWER
AGAIN
MAY ROUSE PEOPLE TO COME OUT.
FOR SOME MOSCOW COMMUTERS WE
TALKED TO,
THE SABER RATTLING WORKED.
I REALLY LIKE THE MILITARY PART
SAID THIS WOMAN.
WE HAD IT UP TO HERE.
THEY HAVE SURROUNDED US ON ALL
SIDES.
OTHERS, SAID THEY DON'T BUY IT.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC,
SAID THIS MAN.
WE HAVE NOTHING IN THIS COUNTRY
BUT OUR MILITARY IS GREAT.
WHY DO WE NEED THIS.
PUTIN PROMISED TO CUT POVERTY IN
HALF AND SPEND MORE ON HEALTH
CARE.
THERE WERE FEW SPECIFICS.
THE MAIN POINT TODAY WAS TO
STILL
FEARS THAT RUSSIA'S ENEMIES ARE
CLOSER AND MORE DANGEROUS THAN
EVER.
MOST RUSSIANS SEEM READY TO
CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THAT.
CHRIS BROWN, CBC NEWS, MOSCOW.
>> ADRIENNE: THE VIDEO PUTIN
SHOWED DURING THE SPEECH MADE IT
CLEAR THAT ONE OF THE ENEMIES IS
THE UNITED STATES.
HOW DOES WASHINGTON REACT?
PAUL HUNTER HAS THAT.
>> Reporter: SOBER, THE RUSSIAN
MISSILES THAT COULD NAVIGATE THE
PLANET.
NUCLEAR POWERED CRUISE MISSILE
COULD
FLY EFFECTIVELY FOREVER.
WITH TARGETS THAT COULD BE
ANYWHERE, INCLUDING AS THE
ANIMATION HIGHLIGHTS, CENTRAL
FLORIDA.
WHEN THAT SEGMENT ENDED,
VLADIMIR PUTIN'S AUDIENCE BROKE
INTO APPLAUSE.
>> IT WAS CERTAINLY UNFORTUNATE
TO HAVE WATCHED THE VIDEO
ANIMATION THAT DEPICTED A
NUCLEAR PATH OF THE UNITED
STATES.
WE DON'T REGARD THAT AS THE
BEHAVIOUR OF A RESPONSIBLE
INTERNATIONAL PLAYER.
>> REPORTER: THE U.S. SAID TODAY
IT WAS UNSURPRISED BY PUTIN'S
CLAIM.
IF HE IS DEVELOPING SUCH
WEAPONRY, HE IS VIOLATING THE
NATIONAL TREATY.
THE PENTAGON TODAY DISMISSED ANY
CURRENT THREATS TO THE U.S.
>> WE ARE PREPARED.
AND WE ARE READY.
>> REPORTER: THE RHETORIC AND
THOSE IMAGES ARE ALL UNSETTLING
FAMILIAR.
>> WELCOME TO THE NEW ARMS RACE.
SAME AS THE OLD ARMS RACE.
HERE WE GO.
PUTIN SAID HE IS NOT BLUFFING.
HE IS RIGHT, HE CAN DO THIS.
THERE ARE NOT MANY THINGS THAT
RUSSIA CAN DO WELL,
THE BIG MISSILES, LARGE NUCLEAR
WEAPONS ON THEM, THEY CAN
DESTROY OUR COUNTRY.
THEY HAD A LOT OF PRACTICE.
>> REPORTER: EVEN PUTIN INTENT
OUGHT NOT BE IGNORED FOR THE
-- NOR THE
DANGER OF A TIT FOR TAT BUILD
UP IN THE U.S. CONSIDER DONALD
TRUMP'S
THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS A
FEW WEEKS AGO.
>> WE MUST MODERNIZE AND REBUILD
OUR NUCLEAR ARSENAL.
HOPEFULLY NEVER HAVING TO USE
IT, MAKING IT SO STRONG, SO
POWERFUL THAT IT WILL DETER ACTS
OF AGGRESSION.
>> REPORTER: ON TRUMP'S
ASPERATIONS.
>> PUTIN IS ANSWERING IT.
CONVINCINGLY.
>> SHOULD WE BE FREAKED OUT?
>> WE SHOULD BE FREAKED OUT.
>> Reporter: IF THE THREAT OF A
BUILDUP THE WORLD SAW BEFORE
THAT RISKS GROWING AND GROWING
UNTIL BOTH SIDES AGREE TO STOP.
UNLESS THEY DON'T.
PAUL HUNTER, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> ADRIENNE: SOME NUCLEAR POLICY
EXPERTS SAID PUTIN COULD
ACTUALLY -- NONE OF THE WEAPON
SYSTEMS ARE DEPLOYING.
SOME MAY NEVER BE DEPLOYED.
STILL MUCH OF THE POWER COMES
FROM SIMPLY SHOWING THEM.
NUKES ARE POLITICAL WEAPONS.
DESIGNED TO SEND MESSAGES.
THE U.S. ANNOUNCED IT'S -- ITS
POSTURING LAST MONTH.
>> WE MUST MAKE IT MODERN.
>> REPORTER: THERE IS AN ELEMENT
OF THEATRE TO ALL OF THIS.
>> I WOULD SAW THERE WAS ENOUGH
REAL FOOTAGE
IN THERE, AND IT CHIMES WITH
ENOUGH INFORMATION THAT WE
ALREADY HAVE.
>> Adrienne: TAKE THE NUCLEAR
TORPEDO, RUSSIAN STATE TV SHOWED
A COPY OF THE SPECIFICATIONS
WHILE
COVERING A MEETING MORE THAN TWO
YEARS AGO.
NOT AN ACCIDENTS.
-- ACCIDENT.
>> IF YOU WANT TO CONVINCE
ANOTHER COUNTRY THAT YOU ARE
CAPABLE OF RETALIATING AGAINST
THEM, YOU HAVE TO SHOW THEM WHAT
YOU HAVE GOT.
DETERENCE OPERATES IN THE MIND
OF THE ENEMY.
>> Adrienne: DETERENS, A FANCY
WORD FOR FEAR OF WHAT THE
WEAPONS CAN DO.
THE FORCE OF ATOM BOMB THAT
DEMOLISHED HIROSHIMA WAS 15 KILO
TONNES.
THAT IS ABOUT 15,000 TONIGHTS OF
DYNAMITE.
-- TONS OF DYNAMITE.
THE FORCE OF A MODERN NUCLEAR
WEAPON RANGES UP TO 50
MEGATONNES.
THERE ARE A LOT OF THOSE.
NORTH KOREA HAS 15.
ISRAEL, PAKISTAN, U.K. AND CHINA
AND FRANCE HAVE A LOT MORE.
AND NOW, TAKE A DEEP BREATH, THE
U.S. AND RUSSIA STOCKPILE DWARFS
THEM ALL.
THE WE HAVE MORE THAN YOU
POSTURING
IT DOESN'T MEAN MUCH, EXCEPT
MAYBE A GREATER CHANCE OF A
MISHAP, A POLITICAL MISS
INTERPRETATION CAUSING A
COUNTRY TO PULL IT.
>> YOU HAVE TO WONDER HOW IT
WILL BE OPERATED.
HOW TO KEEP THE WEAPONS SAFE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF UNKNOWNS.
>> ADRIENNE: THE ODDITY IS THAT
THE NUMBER OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS
HAS DROPPED SINCE THE COLD WAR.
IT MAYBE DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT.
FROM ALL THE PRONOUNCEMENT.
TECHNICALLY, THE RUSSIAN AND
U.S. ARE COMMITTED TO ARMS
REDUCTION.
THEY ENTERED A NEW TREATY IN
2011.
THAT EXPIRES IN TWO YEARS.
AND PROBABLY ALL BETS ARE OFF.
>> ROSEMARY: THE GRAPHIC WAS
STARK.
LET'S TURN FROM THE COLD WAR
STANCE TO THE MAKING OF A
POTENTIAL TRADE WAR.
DONALD TRUMP SAID THE U.S. WILL
IMPOSE PUNISHING NEW TARIFFS,
SLAPPING A 25% DUTY ON STEEL.
AND 10% ON ALUMINUM IMPORTS.
IT IS A MOVE DESIGNED TO PROTECT
AMERICAN INDUSTRY AND JOBS THAT
HAS CANADA BRACING FOR IMPACT.
THE BIG CRACKDOWN HAS HAD AN
IMMEDIATE EFFECT ON THE MARKET.
STOCKS WERE SENT PLUMMETING ON
WALL STREET AFTER THE NOON HOUR
ANNOUNCEMENT.
THE DOW CLOSED DOWN MORE THAN
400 POINTS.
THE PRESIDENT TALKED TO
MANUFACTURES ON HIS SIDE OF THE
BORDER.
THE COUNTRY SENDS MORE STEEL AND
ALUMINUM THAN
ANYONE ELSE.
HOW BADLY DOES CANADA NEED THE
U.S. MARKET, LAST YEAR WE
EXPORTED MORE THAN $9 BILLION
WORTH OF ALUMINUM AND
145 -- $5.5 BILLION IN STEEL
STATESIDE.
THE CANADIAN EXPORTERS ARE
TRYING TO SORT OUT WHAT THE
TARIFF TALK MEANS.
CATHERINE CULLEN HAS MORE ON
WHAT WILL BE THE FALLOUT FOR THE
STEEL AND ALUMINUM INDUSTRY.
>> President Donald Trump: WHEN
IT COMES TO A TIME WHEN OUR
COUNTRY CAN'T MAKE ALUMINUM AND
STEEL, SOMEBODY SAID IT BEFORE
AND I WILL TELL YOU, YOU ALMOST
DON'T HAVE MUCH OF A COUNTRY.
>> REPORTER: DONALD TRUMP HAS
TALKED TOUGH ON TRADE.
TODAY HE THREW A PUNCH.
ANNOUNCING TARIFFS ARE COMING
NEXT WEEK.
>> PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: IT
WILL BE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF
TIME.
>> REPORTER: A BLOW FELT IN THE
ONTARIO CITIES, IT IS CALLED
STEEL TOWN.
>> WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF COMPANIES
THAT ARE IN STEEL PRODUCTION.
THEY EMPLOYEE -- EMPLOY 10,000
PEOPLE.
>> REPORTER: IT IS NOT JUST
CANADA THAT WILL BE HURT.
IT WILL DRIVE UP PRICES IN THE
U.S. TOO.
>> I THINK THAT THEY ARE
SHOOTING THEMSELVES IN THE
FOOT.
>> REPORTER: THE COMPANY THAT
MAKES BUDWEISER, ASKING TRUMP
NOT TO DO THIS.
IT IS NOT JUST AMERICANS.
>> THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE.
IT IS THE BEGINNING OF A
POTENTIAL TRADE WAR, NOT ONLY
BETWEEN CANADA AND THE U.S. BUT
EUROPE AND THE U.S.
>> REPORTER: PERHAPS CANADA CAN
AVOID THE FIGHT.
WHEN GEORGE W. BUSH IMPOSED A
STEEL TARIFF IN 2002, CANADA GOT
AN EXEMPTION.
THE GOVERNMENT WAS ASKED WILL
THERE BE AN EXEMPTION THIS TIME.
>> WE ARE FOLLOWING THE
SITUATION VERY CAREFULLY.
>> REPORTER: THE WHITE HOUSE DID
NOT CLEAR IT UP.
>> DOES THE PRESIDENT HAVE IN
MINDS WHICH COUNTRIES HE MAY
EXEMPT?
>> I WILL NOT GET INTO ANY
DETAILS ON THIS FRONT.
>> REPORTER: THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS
MINISTER SAID CANADA IS PREPARED
TO RESPOND.
AND DID NOT CLARIFY HOW.
THIS IS IF TRUMP FOLLOWS THROUGH
WITH HIS PLAN, HE IS FACING
INCREDIBLE PRESSURE NOT TO, HE
IS NOTHING IF NOT UNPREDICTABLE.
CATHERINE CULLEN, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> Rosemary: THE TARGETS,
ALUMINUM AND
STEEL, THE PRESIDENT IS NOT
EXPECTED TO FORMALLY SIGN THIS
INTO ACTION UNTIL NEXT WEEK.
WE HAVE TO SEE IF THERE IS A
CHANCE HE WILL SPARE CANADA.
>> ANDREW: MEANTIME, ROSEY, FALL
OUT IN CANADA FROM THE DEADLY
SCHOOL SHOOTING IN FLORIDA.
A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
MEC CEO HAS BOWED TO THE
PRESSURE.
IT HAS BEEN INTENSE SINCE THE
WIDESPREAD KNOWLEDGE THAT BRANDS
ARE FROM VISTA OUTDOORS.
THEY HAVE HOLDINGS IN THE
MANUFACTURING OF ASSAULT STYLE
WEAPONS.
IN THE WAKE OF THE SHOOTING, AN
OPEN LETTER.
>>> WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE BRAND
THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT BIG NAMES
LIKE CAMELBACK.
IT IS A BOLD MOVE.
IT IS WORTH POINTING OUT, THE
STOCK THEY HAVE, THEY PLAN TO
SELL.
IT IS WHEN THEY RUN OUT THAT
THAT WILL BE IT.
AS BRIAR STEWART EXPLAINS, THE
COMPANY SAID IT IS COMMITTED TO
THE GUN CONTROL.
MESSAGE.
>> REPORTER: THE WATER BOTTLES
AND CAMPING ACCESSORIES ARE
GONE, THERE WILL BE NO MORE
PRODUCTS MADE BY THIS COMPANY IN
MEC.
THE HUGE AMERICAN CONGLOMERATE
ALSO
MAKES HIGH POWERED WEAPONS.
>> THE OWNERSHIP HAS NEVER BEEN
SOMETHING WE LOOKED AT IN THE
PAST.
WITH THE CHANGE OF MERGERS AND
ACQUISITIONS OVER THE LAST
DECADE, THIS IS NOW SOMETHING WE
HAVE TO LOOK AT.
>> REPORTER: THE DECISION CAME
BECAUSE THE CO-OP WAS UNDER A
GROUND SWELL OF PRESSURE BY
MEMBERS TO PUSH FOR A SEVER OF
TIES WITH VISTA AFTER THE DEADLY
SHOOTING IN PARKLAND, FLORIDA.
>> I THINK IT IS A GOOD STEP
FORWARD.
I THINK IT IS SETTING A TREND,
SETTING A PRECEDENT FOR OTHER
ORGANIZATIONS TO FOLLOW SUIT.
>> THAT IS GREAT.
I SUPPORT THE GUN CONTROL.
>> REPORTER: OF COURSE, MEC IS
NOT THE ONLY CANADIAN STORE TO
CARRY THE PRODUCTS.
THEY WILL BE ON SHELVES ACROSS
THE COUNTRY.
TAKE CAMEL BACK, A BRAND THAT
MANUFACTURES WATER BOTTLES.
THEY ARE FOR SALE IN HUNDREDS OF
STORES.
OTHER RETAILERS HAVE TO DECIDE
NOT TO STOCK THEM.
RUNNING ROOM MADE THE DECISION
TODAY, SAYING IT STOPPED FURTHER
ORDERS FROM CAMELBACK.
THE MAJORITY OF SPORTS STORE
THAT CARRY THE PRODUCTS HAVE NOT
WEIGHED IN.
IN THE U.S., THE MOVEMENT IS
PICKING UP STEAM.
MORE COMPANIES ARE FACING
INCREASING PRESSURE.
>> IN GENERAL, BOYCOTTS DO NOT
WORK VERY WELL.
THIS ONE SEEMS TO BE DIFFERENT.
THE COMPANIES SEEM TO REALIZE
IT IS NOT A MATTER OF BEING ON
THE WRONG SIDE -- IT IS A MATTER
OF BEING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF
HISTORY.
>> REPORTER: THE OFFICIALS SAID
THEY HOPE THE MOVE ADDS TO THE
CONVERSATION.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WOULD TAKE
FOR MEC TO CONTINUE TO STOCK THE
PRODUCTS?
>> THE DISCUSSION ON GUN
CONTROL.
ADVOCATES FOR GUN CONTROL.
I BELIEVE WE WOULD HAVE THE
RELATIONSHIP AGAIN.
>> REPORTER: WITHOUT THAT, THIS
WILL BE THE LAST OF THE VISTA
PRODUCTS ON THE SHELVES.
BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> ANDREW: THAT IS THE STATE OF
THINGS ON THIS SIDE OF THE
BORDER.
BRIAR MENTIONED THE MOVEMENT
PICKING UP STEAM DOWN SOUTH.
MORE THAN A DOZEN MAJOR U.S.
COMPANIES HAVE GIVEN IN TO
DEMAND BY ACTIVISTS AND
CUSTOMERS.
THEY CUT TIES WITH THE BROADER
GUN LOBBY MOVEMENT.
PARTICULARLY, THE NRA.
THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION.
DELTA, UNITED AIRLINES, RENTAL
CAR COMPANIES, AVIS AND
BUDGET,
ENTERPRISE AND HERTZ WILL NO
LONGER OFFER SPECIAL DISCOUNTS
TO NRA MEMBERS.
FEDEX HAS DECIDED TO TAKE A
STAND.
IT REFUSED TO CANCEL DISCOUNTS
FOR NRA
MEMBERS.
SAYING IT DOESN'T SET PRICES
ACCORDING TO A PERSON'S
POLITICS.
THE HASHTAG IS THE RESULT.
THERE IS APPLE AND AMAZON AND
GOOGLE.
>> THE TRUTH IS THEY WANT TO BAN
EVERY GUN IN AMERICA.
>> Andrew: ALL THREE STREAM
NRA TV, A PROGRAM USED IN
ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK THAT
BROADCASTS 24/7.
A SAMPLE OF THE BACKLASH THEY
FACE...
WHICH BRINGS US TO TODAY.
WHAT IS PUSHED AS A WHOLE DAY OF
PROTEST.
FROM
CELEBRITY ACTIVISTS...
NO MATTER WHAT THE COMPANIES
DECIDE, ANY MEANINGFUL CHANGES
WOULD HAVE TO COME FROM
GOVERNMENT.
THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WORKS IN
THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE.
>> Rosemary: THERE HAS NOT BEEN.
MORE THAN 360 GUN BILLS HAVE
BEEN INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS,
ONLY ONE HAS ACTUALLY BEEN
SIGNED INTO LAW ACCORDING TO A
NEWS WEBSITE.
>> Adrienne: WE MENTIONED DELTA
CUTTING TIES WITH THE NRA.
THE AIRLINE IS BASED IN GEORGIA,
THE STATE GOVERNMENT TOOK
REVENGE.
THE LAWMAKERS PASSED A TAX BILL
WITHOUT A PROPOSED BREAK ON JET
FUEL.
THEY TOOK IT OUT.
THAT WOULD HAVE SAVED DELTA
$40 MILLION U.S. EVERY YEAR.
THAT WILL HURT.
>> Andrew: HERE IS WHAT WE ARE
WORKING ON.
HEDLEY TAKES THE STAGE IN
BRAMPTON.
ONE NIGHT AFTER ANNOUNCING THEY
WILL SOON TAKE TIME OFF
INDEFINITELY.
>> Adrienne: A HIDDEN CAMERA
INVESTIGATION INTO ONE OF
CANADA'S BIGGEST TELECOMS.
THE REAL DEAL ABOUT BELL'S
DOOR-TO-DOOR SALES TACTICS.
>> Rosemary: THE REPORTERS
TRYING TO GET ANSWERS OVER THE
ATWAL AFFAIR.
>> YOU WANT ME TO SPEC
[*]
>> ADRIENNE: A HIDDEN CAMERA
INVESTIGATION INTO HOW THE
COUNTRY'S BIGGEST TELECOM PLAYER
GETS YOUR MONEY HAS PROMPTED
BELL CANADA TO APOLOGIZE.
OUR COLLEAGUES AT MARKETPLACE
AND GO PUBLIC TEAMED UP TO DO
SOMETHING NEVER DONE BEFORE IN
THE TELECOM INDUSTRY.
THEY PLACED A CBC JOURNALIST
INSIDE A DOOR-TO-DOOR SALES TEAM
WORKING FOR BELL CANADA.
WHICH TURNED OUT TO HAVE A
CREATIVE APPROACH TO THE TRUTH.
ERICA JOHNSON HAS THE STORY.
>> REPORTER: A PEP TALK BEFORE A
SALES REP GOES OUT TO THE
TORONTO
AREA NEIGHBOURHOODS.
CONTRACTED BY BELL TO SELL TV
AND INTERNET.
>> OFFERING BLAZING FAST
INTERPRETS,
ALL IN CANADA'S LARGEST
FIBRE-OPTIC NETWORK.
>> REPORTER: FOR 7 DAYS AND
NIGHTS, OUR PRODUCER FILMED
WEARING HIDDEN CAMERAS.
>> HI THERE.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> Reporter: THE SALES REPS MADE
MISLEADING PROMISES LIKE THIS
ONE.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A
GUARANTEED PRICE.
BELL CAN INCREASE IT, BUT THEY
WERE NOT TRAINED TO TELL
CUSTOMERS THAT.
>> THE MAXIMUM PRICE...
>> Reporter: GARY SAID HE WAS
GUARANTEED A
MONTHLY PRICE AT THE DOOR.
SO HE SIGNED UP.
WHEN HIS BILL INCREASED, HE
SAID, THAT BELL CUSTOMER SERVICE
REP SAID YOU SHOULD HAVE READ
THE CONTRACT.
>> YOU CAN'T JUST PUT THE
RESPONSIBILITY JUST ON THE
CONSUMER.
BECAUSE THE CONSUMER IS RELYING
ON A BELL REPRESENTATIVE.
>> REPORTER: BACK ON THE FRONT
PORCH, SALESPEOPLE MISLED ABOUT
PROMO
PRICES.
FIBRE-OPTICS AND INTERNET SPEED.
THE SPEED HAS TO BE
GUARANTEED.
THE MAN WHO RUNS THE SALES TEAM
WILL NOT GIVE US AN
INTERVIEW.
WE PAID HIM A VISIT.
>> DO YOU HAVE A MINUTE.
I WANT TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT
YOUR OPERATION.
>> YOU TALK TO BELL.
>> WHY ARE YOU TRAINING PEOPLE
TO MISLEAD PEOPLE AT THE DOOR.
>> TALK TO BELL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> REPORTER: WE WOULD LIKE TO
TALK TO BELL, THE TELECOM GIANT
SAID IN A STATEMENT...
>> I AM FROM BELL CANADA.
>> REPORTER: BELL SEVERED TIES
WITH THE COMPANY THAT HIRED THE
REPS FOR BREACHING POLICIES.
>> ADRIENNE: ERICA JOHNSON JOINS
ME NOW.
CLEARLY,
FROM THE STORY, BELL SAID THE
COMPANY WAS OFFSIDE.
DO WE TAKE THAT TO MEAN PROBLEM
SOLVED?
>> MAYBE IN THAT CASE.
HOWEVER,
WE HAVE HEARD FROM DOOR-TO-DOOR
SALE REPS WHO WORK FOR
OTHER
SUBCONTRACTING COMPANIES SELLING
BELL IN DIFFERENT CITIES,
DIFFERENT PROVINCES THEY HAVE
SAID THEY HAVE BEEN
BEEN USING MISLEADING BELL
-- SALES
TACTICS AT THE FRONT DOOR.
>> ADRIENNE: ONTARIO BROUGHT IN
THE BAN ON DOOR-TO-DOOR SALES
TODAY
FOR A LOT OF GOODS.
WHICH IS
SOMETHING ALBERTA HAS DONE.
DO YOU THINK THIS WILL MAKE A
DIFFERENCE?
>> ONTARIO'S BIG BAN ON
DOOR-TO-DOOR SALES COVERS THINGS
LIKE AIR CONDITIONERS, WATER
HEATERS, FURNACES, HOWEVER,
TELECOMS ARE NOT COVERED BY
TODAY'S BAN.
IT WILL BE BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR
THE DOOR-TO-DOOR.
>> ADRIENNE: WHY DO I FEEL WE
WILL STILL TALK ABOUT THIS.
WHAT IS REACTION LIKE?
>> HUGE.
SINCE WE STARTED THE
INVESTIGATION, RECENTLY, GO
PUBLIC HAS HAD ALMOST 900
E-MAILS NOW FROM TELECOM
CUSTOMERS, AND EMPLOYEES.
ALL THE MAJOR TELECOMS SAYING
THINGS LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN UP
SOLD.
THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE
LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY WHEN
MISLED.
THE EMPLOYEES SAID THE SAME
THING, THEY ARE PRESSURED AND
FORCED TO SELL.
SOME OF THEM SAYING WE ARE BEING
MISLEADING, ET CETERA.
YOU CAN COUNT ON MORE TO COME.
>> ADRIENNE: THANK YOU.
YOU CAN CATCH THE INVESTIGATION
TOMORROW.
MARKETPLACE AIRS AT 8 P.M. 8:30
IN NEWFOUNDLAND TOMORROW.
>> ANDREW: STILL AHEAD ON THE
NATIONAL, HEDLEY HIT THE STAGE
IN BRAMPTON, ONTARIO.
WE CATCH UP WITH THE FANS WHO
STAND BY THEIR BAN.
-- BAND.
>> ROSEMARY: BUDGET, THE
GOVERNMENT ANSWERED QUESTIONS
ABOUT JASPAL ATWAL AGAIN.
CHANTAL AND ANDREW AND ALTHIA
>> THE PRIME MINISTER CANNOT
SHAKE THE PAINFUL INDIA TRIP.
NO BADLY THE LIBERALS WANT TO
TURN THE PAGE.
RELEASING A NEW GENDER BALANCED
BUDGET AND A PUSH TO SELL IT TO
CANADIANS.
ALL EVERYBODY IN OTTAWA WANTS TO
TALK ABOUT IS JASPAL ATWAL.
THE LATEST ON THE SCANDAL.
>> REPORTER: ONE OF THE MOST
RESPECTED MEMBERS OF CABINET IS
TRYING TO STOP THE BLEEDING.
THE PUBLIC SAFETY MINISTER
INVOKED HIS
OATH OF OFFICE AND DID NOT
ANSWER QUESTIONS ON THE JASPAL
ATWAL AFFAIR AT A COMMITTEE
MEETING TODAY.
>> I AM NOT PERMITTED TO DEAL IN
PUBLIC WITH CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION.
>> REPORTER: THE GOVERNMENT
BLAMED THE LIBERAL M.P. SARAI
FOR INVITING ATWAL TO OFFICIAL
EVENTS DURING THE PRIME
MINISTER'S TRIP TO INDIA.
A SENIOR INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL
TOLD REPORTERS THAT ROGUE
FACTIONS IN INDIA PLAYED A ROLE
TO GET THE WOULD BE ASSASSIN TO
THE FUNCTION.
TODAY, THE PRIME MINISTER
SUGGESTED BOTH THEORIES ARE
FACTORS.
IN THE DEBANK STOCK -- DEBOCLE.
>> PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN
TRUDEAU: THE PERSON HAS TAKEN
RESPONSIBILITY FOR EXTENDING THE
INVITATION.
AT THE SAME TIME, I RECOGNIZE
THAT OUR INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES
DO GOOD WORK.
>> REPORTER: THE FORMER DIRECTOR
OF THE SPY AGENCY QUESTIONS WHY
A SENIOR SECURITY OFFICIAL IS
SPEAKING TO REPORTERS.
>> IF IT IS TRUE, IT IS VERY
SENSITIVE INFORMATION.
I AM -- IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT
THE ONLY REASON FOR DOING THAT
WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERABLE
PRESSURE TO DO IT.
>> REPORTER: WHEN JOURNALISTS
ASKED RALPH GOODALE TO EXPLAIN
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THEORIES,
HE WOULD NOT BUDGE.
>> IS IT PART OF THE ROGUE
ELEMENT?
>> YOU WANT ME TO SPECULATE
ABOUT OPERATIONAL DETAILS.
I CAN'T.
I CAN'T.
>> REPORTER: AS GOODALE TRIED TO
LEAVE AND PUT THE ISSUE TO BED,
THE SAME M.P. WHO INVITED ATWAL
TO THE EVENT HAPPENED TO WALK
DIRECTLY TOWARD US.
>> ARE YOU PART OF THE ROGUE
ELEMENTS FROM THE GOVERNMENT?
>> NO.
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW ABOUT
MR. ATWAL?
>> HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW ABOUT
THIS?
>> Reporter: AS MUCH AS THEY
WANTS TO, THE LIBERALS CANNOT
SEEM TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL AS
MUCH AS THEY WANT TO.
>> ROSEMARY: A CONSPIRACY
THEORY, A CONVICTED ATTEMPTED
MURDERER AND A COMBATIVE PRESS
CONFERENCE.
THE BACKLASH FROM JASPAL ATWAL'S
INVITATION TO PRIVATE EVENTS
WITH JUSTIN TRUDEAU IN INDIA
HAVE GONE FROM BAD TO WORSE.
HERE IS A LITTLE BIT MORE FROM
RALPH GOODALE EARLIER TODAY.
>> A PUBLIC OFFICIAL ENGAGED IN
PROVIDING INFORMATION AND
OFFERING ADVICE, PRESENTING
INFORMATION, IS MOTIVATED BY
ONE THING ONLY AND THAT IS
SERVING THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
>> THAT CONVERSATION WITH...
>> I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THAT.
>> ROSEMARY: OKAY.
IT IS FAIR TO SAY THE FEDERAL
BUDGET WAS A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.
MAYBE A LITTLE
ECLIPSED BY THIS A LITTLE BIT.
THE ATWAL AFFAIR, WE ARE GOING
TO AT ISSUE.
FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS WEEK,
REALLY
THE THIRD TIME THIS WEEK, THE
ANALYSIS WAS ON TUESDAY NIGHT
ABOUT THE BUDGET.
YOU CAN FIND IT ON THE POD CAST.
WE WILL TALK ABOUT THIS.
CHANTAL IS IN MONTREAL.
ALTHIA IS WITH ME IN OTTAWA.
I AM NOT COMPLAINING.
FOR THE RECORD, I LIKE IT.
LET'S START WITH YOU, ANDREW, IS
THIS NOW AT THE POINT WHERE IT
SEEMS LIKE THE GOVERNMENT
DOESN'T QUITE KNOW HOW TO MANAGE
THIS OR SHUT IT DOWN?
IT SEEMS TO JUST KEEP GOING.
I AM NOT SURE HOW THEY STOP IT.
>> IT IS MORE THAN THAT.
THEY KEEP MAKING IT WORSE.
THE STORY HAS GONE THROUGH
SEVERAL STAGES FROM THE INITIAL
EMBARRASSMENT OF THE TOUR
ITSELF.
TO THIS CATASTROPHIC ERROR THAT
IT WAS WHAT IT WAS OF INVITING
THE ACCUSED -- CONVICTED
ATTEMPTED
MURDERER TO THE PRIME MINISTER'S
DINNER, TO THE EMBOILING OF
INDIA IN THIS AND MAKING INDIA
GET THEIR NOSE OUT OF JOINT
BECAUSE
OF THIS.
THE STRANGE MIDNIGHT BRIEFING
FROM A SENIOR CIVIL SERVANT.
NOW WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS THE
COMMENT BUSINESS WHERE THEY
CANNOT GET THE STORIES STRAIGHT
AND CANNOT DECIDE WHO TO BLAME.
THEY REFUSE TO TAKE
ACCOUNTABILITY WHERE IT BELONGS.
THIS IS IN THE PRIME MINISTER'S
OFFICE.
WE ARE GETTING INTO WHERE HAVING
PROCESSED THE CIVIL SERVANTS TO
GIVE THE SECRET BRIEFING, HE IS
SAYING HE CANNOT GIVE THE SAME
BRIEFING TO M.P.S.
THEY HAVE NO GOOD ANSWER FOR
THAT.
THAT IS WHY THE MINISTER LOOKED
SO...
TODAY.
>> IT IS STRANGE.
IT IS THE LIBERAL M.P.'S FAULT
FOR INVITING ATWAL AND THE
SENIOR OFFICIAL BRIEFING
REPORTERS SAYING IT MAY BE A
CONSPIRACY BETWEEN FACTIONS OF
THE INDIAN INTELLIGENCE
AGENCIES.
CAN IT BE BOTH?
ONE OF THOSE THINGS?
IS THE STORY JUST SPINNING OUT
OF CONTROL?
>> IT MIGHT.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT
COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT, YOU
SEE TWO THINGS.
THE MESSAGING IS RUNNING INTO
EACH OTHER.
THE M.P. MADE AN INVITATION THAT
HE REGRETS.
MEANWHILE, IN OTTAWA, THE PMO
OFFERS UP A SENIOR OFFICIAL.
TO BRIEF JOURNALISTS.
NOT THAT SOMEONE DUG HIM OUT OF
SOME HIDING HOLE AND THE SENIOR
OFFICIAL SAID THINGS.
HE WAS PUT ON OFFER
BY THE PMO WHICH TO ME
TRANSLATES INTO IT WAS PANIC
CITY LAST WEEK WHEN THE STORY
BROKE.
AND A BAD GOOD IDEA WAS
IMPLEMENTED.
HOW YOU DIG YOURSELF OUT OF
THIS.
I DON'T THINK YOU CAN.
YOU CAN ONLY HOPE THAT TIME WILL
MAKE THIS GO AWAY.
AT SOME COST, I THINK, TO THE
SENIOR GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL WHO
GOT HIMSELF EMBROILED IN THIS.
HE IS AN ADULT.
HE WENT AND DID THIS BRIEFING.
AND WILL PROBABLY PAY A PRICE
FOR THAT.
>> ROSEMARY: HE USED TO BE THE
HEAD OF CSIS, WAS ON POWER AND
POLITICS, HE SAID IT
SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE.
THE SENIOR OFFICIAL SHOULD NOT
HAVE DONE THIS.
TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT SHOULD
NOT BE TALKED ABOUT.
>> THE SENIOR OFFICIAL, THE
NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR IS A
MAN WITH A LONG HISTORY IN THE
TOWN AND KNOWS HOW THE PROCESS
WORKS AND HOW TO SERVE A
POLITICAL MASTER.
HE WAS A FORMER DEPUTY MINISTER
OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, IT IS NOT
LIKE IT IS A MID-LEVEL
GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL HERE.
THIS IS SOMEBODY WHO BASICALLY
KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
TO ME,
THE QUESTION IS WHY IS THE
GOVERNMENT OF CANADA LOOKING TO
PICK A FIGHT WITH THE GOVERNMENT
OF INDIA, EVEN MORE SO KNOWING
THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA WAS
CONCERNED AND REMAINS CONCERNED
THAT THERE ARE ELEMENTS IN THE
TRUDEAU GOVERNMENT THAT ARE
SYMPATHETIC TO SIKH NATIONALISM.
IT IS ONE THING TO SAY WE ARE
SORRY, WE SHOULDN'T HAVE INVITED
MR. ATWAL TO COME TO ONE --
ACTUALLY TWO OF OUR EVENTS IN
INDIA, BUT IT IS QUITE ANOTHER
THING TO SAY, WELL, INDIA, YOU
ARE PARTLY TO BLAME FOR THIS,
YOU TOOK HIM OFF THE BLACK LIST
AND GAVE HIM A VISA KNOWING FULL
WELL WHERE HE WAS GOING.
YOU ENABLED OUR INCOMPETENCY BY
ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN.
THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE TRIP,
WE ARE TOLD, WAS TO SMOOTH
RELATIONSHIPS WITH INDIA AND YOU
GO OUT AND DECIDE TO LET YOUR
NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR SAY
THAT TO REPORTERS COVERING THE
TRIP.
>> IT IS IMPROPER TO DRAG IN A
CIVIL SERVANT TO DO POLITICAL
SPIN.
THE REASON THEY DID IT -- IT WAS
-- IF IT WAS
A REGULAR SPIN PERSON, NONE OF
THE REPORTERS WOULD HAVE PICKED
UP THE STORY.
THAT WAS IMPROPER.
IT IS IMPROPER TO CLAIM THAT
THERE IS
RESPONSIBILITY EXCEPT THE PRIME
MINISTER'S OFFICE.
EVEN IF THE M.P. INVITED HIM.
I AM NOT SURE IF WE SHOULD TAKE
THAT AT FACE VALUE.
VETTING IS IN THE PRIME
MINISTER'S OFFICE.
THAT IS REGULAR PRACTICE.
THEY WAVED OFF SECURITY
CONCERNS.
WHEN YOU PUT IT TOGETHER WITH
THE LONG HISTORY THAT NOT JUST
THE LIBERAL PARTY, BUT
PARTICULARLY THE LIBERAL PARTY
HAS TOLERATING SIKH SEPARATISM,
NEVER MIND THE TERRORIST ANGLE.
THE SEPARATIST THING, IF YOU
WANT TO HAVE GOOD RELATIONS WITH
INDIA,
WITH ANY COUNTRY, YOU CANNOT BE
DALLEYING WITH PEOPLE WHO WANT
TO TEAR THE COUNTRY APART.
AND YOU DON'T DO IT ON A TOUR.
THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS TO
BE ANSWERED HERE.
>> ROSEMARY: LAST QUESTION.
>> THE OTHER QUESTION IS, HOW
MUCH OF THIS IS BASED ON THE
LOOKING FOR VOTES.
ARE THERE MORE VOTES FOR BEING
IN TROUBLE BY GETTING INDIA'S
NOSE OUT OF JOINT.
AND THE OPPOSITE...
>> ROSEMARY: I AM GOING TO
CHANGE TOPICS.
I WANT TO GET YOU TO WEIGH IN
WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE BLOC.
HERE IS HOW THIS UNFOLDED.
>> WE DECIDED THAT WE WILL LEAVE
THE CAUCUS OF THE BLOC QUEBECOIS
FOR MANY REASONS THAT WE TALKED
ABOUT ALREADY.
MANY TIMES.
>> I CAN TELL YOU THAT I HAVE
AND WE HAVE THE WILL TO SETTLE
AND TO BE ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER
AND THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN.
>> Rosemary: THE DOOR IS OPEN.
SHE HAS THREE LEFT.
I THINK BESIDE HER.
THAT IS OULLET.
FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HER
WELL.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I
HAVE BEEN WARNED IN THE TOWN TO
NEVER SAY THE BLOC IS DEAD.
GOODNESS KNOWS, I AM NOT SURE
WHAT HAPPENS NOW.
>> I DON'T THINK ANYBODY KNOWS.
IT IS UNPRECEDENTED FOR A PARTY
LEADER TO LOSE THE CONFIDENCE OF
CAUCUS.
THAT IS WHAT IT IS.
WHEN YOU LOSE 7 OUT OF 10.
I AM GOING TO -- A CONFIDENCE
VOTE IN THE SPRING OF 2019.
STOCKWELL DAY LOST LESS M.P.S IN
A
CRISIS AND PUT HIS LEADERSHIP ON
THE LINE IN A LEADERSHIP CONTEST
AND LOST IT.
HE FELT HIS POSITION WAS
UNTENABLE.
THIS IS HAPPENING AT THE WORST
POSSIBLE TIME FOR QUEBEC
SOVEREIGNTY MOVEMENT.
ON THE EVE OF A QUEBEC ELECTION.
AND THIS IS A FIGHT IN OTTAWA
BETWEEN HARD LINERS FOR
SOVEREIGNTY AND THE OTHERS, IT
IS EXTENDING INTO THE ENTIRE
SOVEREIGNIST FAMILY.
IT IS NOT JUST THE BLOC THAT IS
GOING DOWN.
THERE IS A SLIP HERE.
SOMEONE FROM THE SAME MARTIN
OULLET FAMILY...
THIS IS A SCHISM THAT STANDS TO
CROSS THE P.Q. IN THE NEXT
ELECTION IN QUEBEC.
>> ROSEMARY: ALTHIA?
>> I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT SHE
WAS LEGISLATED BY THE MEMBERS --
ELECTED BY THE MEMBERS.
SHE WAS ACCLAIMED.
ONE THING THAT IS SAD, FRANKLY,
IS THAT THE BLOC IN OTTAWA HAS
ALWAYS BEEN THE PARTY THAT
REPRESENTS THE VIEWS OF
BASICALLY THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY,
ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS
CONSENSUS IN THE NATIONAL
ASSEMBLY IN OTTAWA.
THEY WERE KNOWN AS DOING GOOD
PARLIAMENTARY WORK.
THEY WERE DEFENDERS OF THE
FRENCH LANGUAGE RIGHTS.
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
OULLET'S LEADERSHIP STYLE IS ONE
OF
THE KEY THINGS THAT THE M.P.S
SAID THEY DON'T LIKE.
THEY DON'T LIKE HER DIRECTIONAL
TONE TELLING THEM WHAT TO DO.
AND SHE DOES NOT LISTEN.
HER MAIN FOCUS IS SOVEREIGNTY
FIRST AND NOT BASICALLY
REPRESENTING THE VOICE OF
QUEBECERS IN THE HOUSE OF
COMMONS.
THIS IS A GIANT OPENING FOR THE
REST OF THE POLITICAL PARTIES.
SURPRISINGLY, THE LIBERAL PARTY.
WORKING
TO MAINTAIN A MAJORITY
GOVERNMENT.
SURPRISINGLY,
QUEBECERS DON'T SEEM TO LIKE THE
OTHER PARTIES.
EVEN THOUGH,
THEY DON'T SEEM TO LIKE JUSTIN
TRUDEAU EITHER.
>> Rosemary: I LOOKED AT THE
ANALYSIS TODAY, IT SURPRISED ME
THEY WOULD TURN FIRST TO JUSTIN
TRUDEAU, NOT BECAUSE THEY LOVE
HIM SO MUCH.
THEY ARE REALLY NOT ATTRACTED TO
JAGMEET
SINGH FOR ALL THE REASONS WE
TALKED ABOUT DURING THE
LEADERSHIP RACE AND TO THE
CONSERVATIVES.
>> I THINK WHAT YOU HAVE IS TWO
THINGS, ONE IS THE DECLINE OF
WEAKNESS OF THE BLOC.
WHEN YOU ARE IN A WEAK POSITION,
THINGS FEED ON THEMSELVES.
THE DIVISIONS YOU MAY PAPER
OVER IF YOU HAVE A WIN BEHIND
YOU, IS INSURMOUNTABLE.
THAT IS ONE PART.
THE OTHER IS
THE WAY OF CHOOSING PARTY
LEADERS.
OULLET HAS THE OUT OF SAYING I
AM NOT RESPONSIBLE TO THE
CAUCUS.
THEY DID NOT CHOOSE ME.
EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE THE SITUATION
WHERE 70% OF THE CAUCUS FINDS
HER LEADERSHIP REPELLING, THEY
HAVE TO GO RATHER THAN THE
LEADER.
WE KEEP SEEING THESE ERUPTIONS
.
WE SAW THIS WITH THE PATRICK
BROWN SITUATION
IN ONTARIO, WHERE WE HAVE TO FIX
THEM.
>> ROSEMARY: OKAY.
I WILL LEAVE IT THERE.
THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE IT.
GOOD NEWS FOR YOU WHO LOVE
POLITICS AS MUCH AS WE DO.
AT ISSUE IS A PODCAST.
YOU GET EXTRA CONTENTS --
CONTENT.
THIS WEEK, BONUS TOPIC, WHAT
ANDREW TALKED ABOUT, THE ONTARIO
PC LEADERSHIP RACE.
AFTER THE SECOND DEBATE.
PATRICK BROWN'S SECOND
DEPARTURE.
>> HEDLEY FANS WATCH THE BAND
PERFORM TONIGHT, ONE DAY AFTER
FRONT MAN JACOB HOGGARD ADMITTED
TO BEHAVING IN A WAY THAT
OBJECTIFIES WOMEN OVER THE
YEARS.
>> I THINK THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD
GET A SECOND CHANCE AND I HAVE
MET THEM.
I HAVE BEEN ON TOUR WITH THEM.
I HAVE SEEN
[*]
>> ON THE NATIONAL, PREPARATIONS
ARE UNDERWAY ON THE U.S. EAST
COAST.
A DANGEROUS NOR'EASTER IS
EXPECTED TO SLAM THE REGION
TOMORROW.
WITH HEAVY SNOW AND POWERFUL
WINDS.
THE OFFICIALS ARE WARNING THAT
WIDESPREAD POWER OUTAGES AND
COASTAL FLOODING ARE LIKELY.
THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON THE COAST
HAVE BEEN TOLD TO BE READY TO
EVACUATE.
>>> MANDATORY EVACUATIONS ARE
UNDERWAY IN PARTS OF CALIFORNIA.
RIGHT AT THE OTHER END OF THE
COUNTRY.
A MAJOR STORM WITH HEAVY RAIN IS
APPROACHING.
OFFICIALS SAID THAT COULD
TRIGGER MORE DEVASTATING
MUDSLIDES.
>> APPROACHING DANGER, AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR DEBRIT FLOWS, WE
WANT EVERYONE TO BE OUT OF THE
AREA AND OUT OF HARMS WAY BY
NIGHTFALL.
>> Andrew: A MANDATORY
EVACUATION ORDER IS FOR PEOPLE
LIVING IN PARTS OF SANTA BARBARA
COUNTY, INCLUDE MONTECITO.
THE COMMUNITY HIT BY DEADLY
MUDSLIDES EARLIER THIS YEAR,
KILLING AT LEAST 20 PEOPLE.
>> Adrienne: WE WILL KEEP AN EYE
ON THOSE.
CHECK OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING
ACROSS THE POND.
>> A STRANGE SIGHT.
BLASTS OF WINTER ACROSS EUROPE.
THEY ARE CALLING IT THE BEAST
FROM THE EAST.
>> SOME CANADIANS MAY BE
ATTEMPTED TO SCOFF.
MANY IN THE SYSTEM ARE FACING
THE WORST WINTER WEATHER IN
DECADES.
THE GENEVA AIRPORT CLOSED FOR
HOURS THIS MORNING.
THE CREWS TRIED TO CLEAR THE
MESS.
THE CONDITIONS JUST GETTING
WORSE AS YOU MOVE WEST.
THAT IS WHEN THE BOAST FROM THE
EAST CLASHES WITH ATLANTIC STORM
EMMA.
>> GO ON, GO ON.
>> Adrienne: FOR SOME, THE ICY
ROADS MEANT BEING REALLY LATE
FOR WORK.
OTHERS TOTALLY STRANDED.
TRAFFIC ON THE BUSY HIGHWAY WAS
STALLED FOR 18 HOURS.
>> LAST NIGHT SOME BOYS CAME
OUT.
>> ADRIENNE: THERE IS A HARD
REALITY BENEATH THE FUN.
AT LEAST A DOZEN PEOPLE HAVE
DIED IN RECENT DAYS FROM SLIPS
EXPOSURE AND COLLISIONS.
THE BRITISH FORECASTERS WARNED
OF LIFE THREATENING CONDITIONS
IN SCOTLAND AND SOUTHWEST
ENGLAND.
ALSO DISTURBING, IS THE SOURCE
OF THE ONSLAUGHT.
BECAUSE,
WHILE EUROPE FREEZES, THE ARCTIC
IS BASKING IN TEMPERATURES 20°
ABOVE NORMAL.
THAT WARM ARCTIC AIR IS PUSHING
THE COLD OUT OF SIBERIA.
THE OUTLOOK FOR BRITAIN,
POSSIBLY TWO MORE WEEKS OF
WINTER.
>>> AND JUST IN CASE YOU ARE
SITTING AT HOME THINKING,
CANADIANS COULD HANDLE THAT, YOU
SHOULD PROBABLY KNOW IT WAS BAD
ENOUGH THAT THE CANADIAN EMBASSY
IN DUBLIN HAD TO CLOSE BECAUSE
OF THE STORM.
IT IS BAD.
>> ANDREW: I WILL TAKE YOUR WORD
FOR IT.
A STORM OF A DIFFERENT KIND HAS
ENGULFED THE CANADIAN BAND
HEDLEY.
THE SINGER HOGGARD IS FACING
MULTIPLE ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL
MISCONDUCT.
THE CONTROVERSY IS TESTING FANS.
>> IT IS ABOUT THE MUSIC, I
DON'T THINK ANYBODY GOES ON THE
BACK OF THE TOUR BUS TO DRINK
TEA AND PLAY SCRAMBLE.
IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE, COME OUT
WITH IT.
>> ANDREW: THE CURRENT TOUR
COULD WELL BE THE LAST.
THE BAND ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY IT
IS TAKING AN INDEFINITE BREAK.
AS JUDY TRINH TELLS US, HOGGARD
DENIES THE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST
HIM, HE ALSO
CONCEDED HE NEEDS TO CHANGE HIS
WAYS.
>> REPORTER: THE FANS ARE
UNWAIVERING IN THE SUPPORT EVEN
AS THE LEAD SINGER KNITS --
ADMITS TO OBJECTIFYING
WOMEN.
>> THAT DOES NOT MEAN HE IS A
RACIST.
>> REPORTER: IN A STATEMENT, HE
SAID...
>>
>> NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE
24-YEAR-OLD OTTAWA WOMAN WHO
ALLEGES HOGGARD FORCED HER TO
HAVE ANAL SEX.
SHE SAID,
HE SLAPPED HER AND SAT ON HER
AND CALLED HER A DIRTY LITTLE
PIG.
>> THERE IS NOT A SINGLE WOMAN
IN THE WORLD I KNOW THAT WOULD
CONSENT TO BEING DEGRADED.
THAT IS WHAT HE DID TO ME.
HE NEEDS A LESSON ON CONSENT
ACTUALLY.
>> REPORTER: THE MAN FELL FROM
GRACE AFTER SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
ALLEGATIONS BY MOSTLY ANONYMOUS
WOMEN SURFACE DOLLARS ON SOCIAL
MEDIA.
HEDLEY SAID THEY WILL GO ON
INDEFINITE HIATUS AFTER THREE
MORE WEEKS OF TOURING.
THE MUSIC JOURNALIST SAID THAT
DECISION IS ABOUT MONEY.
>> IF THERE WAS A MASS EXODUS OF
FANS, THEY WOULD PROBABLY DECIDE
WHY ARE WE PERFORMING.
THEY SAID THEY ARE DOING IT FOR
THE FANS.
IF THE FANS CONTINUE TO SHOW UP,
SAYING I STAND WITH HEDLEY...
>> I FEEL SORRY FOR THEM BECAUSE
THEY THOUGHT THE MAN WAS SOMEONE
HE IS NOT.
I THINK THAT PEOPLE NEED TO
CHOOSE BETTER IDOLS.
>> REPORTER: JACOB HOGGARD SAID
WHEN THE TOUR ENDS, HE WILL SEEK
GUIDANCE FROM HIS FAMILY AND
THE
WOMEN IN HIS LIFE.
HIS ACCUSER HOPES HE WILL SEEK
THERAPY.
CBC NEWS, OTTAWA.
>> ANDREW: HEDLEY IS SCHEDULED
TO PLAY 15 MORE CONCERTS THIS
MONTH BEFORE WRAPPING UP THE
TOUR.
THE LAST ONE IS MARCH 23RD IN
KELOWNA.
>>> YOU CAN READ OUR
INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING AND
EVERYTHING OUR JOURNALISTS DO
DAILY IN OUR NEWSLETTER.
YOU CAN DE
>> Andrew: TONIGHT ON "THE
NATIONAL," TOM SCARY MOMENTS ON
BOARD AN AIR CANADA PLANE,
WAITING FOR TAKEOFF WHEN A
PASSENGER'S CELL PHONE CAUGHT
FIRE.
>> I LOOKED BEHIND ME AND IN THE
AISLE, IT LOOKED LIKE A SMALL
CAMPFIRE.
AND THEN I SAW SOMEONE STAMP ON
IT AND TRY TO PUT IT OUT.
>> Andrew: THE CABIN CREW USED A
FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO QUICKLY PUT
OUT THE FLAMES
THE PHONE IN QUESTION WAS AN LG.
UNCLEAR WHAT CAUSED IT TO CATCH
FIRE, BUT ITS OWNER, THE FEMALE
PASSENGER, HAD TO BE TAKEN TO
HOSPITAL TO BE TREATED FOR MINOR
BURNS.
>>> THE NORTHERN WHITE RHINO IS
GETTING CLOSER TO EXTINCTION.
THIS IS SUDAN, THE LAST MALE
RHINOCEROS OF HIS KIND, AND HE'S
NOT DOING WELL.
THE 45-YEAR-OLD RHINO LIVES AT A
WILDLIFE SANCTUARY IN KENYA WITH
THE LAST TWO FEMALES OF THE SUB
SPECIES.
>> Adrienne: LIVE INSIDE EASTERN
GHOUTA IN SYRIA IS UNIMAGINABLE
FOR MOST OF US.
AS WE'VE BEEN TELLING YOU FOR A
WHILE NOW, FOOD AND MEDICINE
CAN'T GET IN, BUT OVER SOCIAL
MEDIA AT LEAST ONE PERSON IS
TRYING TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT.
AND YOU'VE PROBABLY NEVER SEEN A
WAR CORRESPONDENT LIKE THIS.
>> THIS IS MY CITY.
IT HAS BEEN DESTROYED.
THIS IS MY SCHOOL, WHICH HAS
BECOME A TARGET.
>> Adrienne: SO THIS VIDEO WAS
POSTED EARLIER TODAY, A TEENAGER
SHOWS US HIS HOME, HIS SCHOOL
AND HIS CITY, OR WHAT'S LEFT OF
IT.
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST VIDEO HE'S
SHARED WITH THE WORLD.
>> I AM 15 YEARS OLD.
>> Adrienne: MOHAMMED MADJANEM
HAS BEEN BROADCASTING FOR TWO
MONTHS, OFTEN SQUINTING,
REPORTING ON LIFE OVERSEAS, IN
BROKEN ENGLISH AND BRUTE FORCE.
>> I AM NOT GOING TO APOLOGIZE
FOR THE UGLINESS OF THE PHOTOS.
>> Adrienne: HE'S PLEADED TO
VIEWERS FOR HELP.
>> Adrienne: SOMETIMES HE SIMPLY
STARES INTO THE CAMERA AS SMOKE
RISES FROM HIS CITY.
SO WE CAN'T VERIFY THAT HIS
VIDEOS OR PHOTOS ARE AUTHENTIC.
WE DON'T KNOW WHO ELSE MIGHT BE
WRITING HIS WORDS OR SHAPING HIS
MESSAGE, BUT THAT MATTER OF FACT
SIGNO
SIGNOFF.
>> Adrienne: WELL, IT STANDS OUT
AMONGST THE RUBBLE.
SO WE REACHED OUT TO MUHAMMAD
THIS WEEK.
WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HIM IN A
FEW DAYS.
WE HOPE HE'S OK.
>> Rosemary: IT'S INTERESTING.
WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HOW
TEENAGERS IN THE UNITED STATES
AND IN OTHER PLACES ARE TRYING
TO MAKE REAL CHANGE.
AND I FIND THAT SO FASCINATING
THAT THAT VOICE, OBVIOUSLY, HAS
SUCH POWER AND HE'S TRYING TO
HELP HIS COUNTRY THAT WAY.
>> Andrew: AND I'M REMINDED OF
THAT MOSTLY BLANK STATEMENT THAT
UNISEF ISSUED ABOUT THE ONGOING
CRISIS IN SYRIA.
"NO WORDS WILL DO JUSTICE TO THE
CHILDREN CLEARED, THEIR MOTHERS,
FATHERS, AND LOVED ONES."
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S TRUE, BUT
IT FEELS LIKE IT.
>> Adrienne: AND THE KIDS ARE
SAYING IT FOR THEMSELVES.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR
THURSDAY, MARCH 1.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Andrew: GOOD NIGHT.
>> Rosemary: GOOD NIGHT.
