[00:00:02] at how the US enforces their northern border [00:00:07] from the sky to the water. [00:00:10] And there's lots of water. The Detroit sector covers 1388 [00:00:15] kilometers of the border, all of it on the water. [00:00:21] This is part of daily patrols performed by US Customs and [00:00:24] Border Protection here along the Detroit River as well as in [00:00:28] the Great Lakes. They're looking for pleasure crafts [00:00:31] that are operating suspiciously. This part there we go from the [00:00:34] mouth up here back down to the bridge was one of the top [00:00:37] smuggling routes in all the United States where we saw how [00:00:41] many votes today. [00:00:42] And every boat could be a smuggler unless we stop every [00:00:46] single boat. So you have to use intelligence in partnerships to [00:00:50] be able to secure this area up here. Canada's very bad abuser. [00:00:54] When U.S. President Donald Trump first slapped tariffs on [00:00:57] Canada, he cited the country's [00:00:59] inability to prevent drugs and human traffickers from pouring [00:01:03] across the border into the US says justification, [00:01:06] calling it a national emergency. [00:01:10] But the reality on the ground in Michigan is a lot more [00:01:13] complicated than that. No, it's really not that big of a [00:01:16] problem for inbound. Yeah, a lot of the stuff that we [00:01:19] actually give, we get a lot of it going [00:01:22] outbound. And when you say outbound, [00:01:24] you mean going from the US into Canada [00:01:29] and the same with guns. [00:01:32] The guns are gonna be mainly coming from here to Canada. [00:01:35] Well, not exactly the wrong turns. OK. [00:01:37] So you get a lot of people that are actually making wrong turns [00:01:41] that are actually on turning onto the bridge and turning [00:01:45] into the tunnel. And [00:01:47] vehicle searches actually result in finding of weapons. [00:01:52] While some Americans may be accidentally bringing weapons [00:01:57] across, there is also a robust illegal [00:02:00] trade. In 2024, nearly 90% of guns recovered in [00:02:03] crimes in Ontario were traced back to the US. This border [00:02:08] expert says both countries pose threats to each other. Firearms [00:02:13] for sure, but also the United States is [00:02:16] the the [00:02:18] in between the, the middle, the the middle ground for drugs [00:02:21] coming up into our country from Mexico and from South America [00:02:26] going South. The threat that we pose is actually the people we [00:02:31] let in on temporary status. [00:02:33] While authorities on both sides of the border look to curb [00:02:38] illegal activity, it's not a major concern for [00:02:41] many people in Detroit. [00:02:44] No, I've lived in Detroit my whole [00:02:46] life. I think Canada is rather friendly. When I was younger, [00:02:50] we go over to Canada all the time. It was like a little [00:02:53] getaway. As long as you guys keep your side clean and we [00:02:56] keep ours clean, we're good. I love it. It's [00:02:59] unfortunate that the two countries are going through [00:03:02] what they're going through right now. Hopefully the [00:03:05] politicians can get their heads together and, and, [00:03:08] and fix it because they've been a good neighbor. [00:03:14] Despite the political tensions, U.S. officials say the working [00:03:18] relationship with their Canadian counterparts remains [00:03:21] unchanged. Locally. We still have great partnerships with [00:03:25] those agencies right across the the water. For now, [00:03:28] those partnerships continue to bridge the political divide. [00:03:32] Security on both sides of the border depends on it. [00:03:40] INCLUDING SHOOTING. DALE MANUCDOC EXPLAINS. [ Gunfire ] [00:03:44] DALE MANUCDOC EXPLAINS.

As of this year, [00:08:22] there was an 11% drop in sales compared to 2025, [00:08:25] with apartment condo specifically taking a 20% dive [00:08:27] in comparison to the same time last year. So what does this [00:08:30] mean for potential buyers? It means they have an [00:08:33] opportunity to actually get into a property that they're [00:08:36] not they don't have to compete for. Typically, [00:08:38] condos are described as an affordable and desirable home [00:08:41] for anyone looking to get into real estate for the first time, [00:08:44] but on paper, that doesn't seem to be the [00:08:46] case this year. The Realtors Association [00:08:48] Edmonton says the reason for this dip is a large supply of [00:08:52] condos across Edmonton. The more inventory you have, [00:08:55] it just tends to drive prices down and demand down. Some [00:08:58] Realtors view this uptick in units as a good sign for anyone [00:09:02] looking to purchase a home. There's a huge selection out [00:09:06] there. If you're selling, you have to be a little bit [00:09:09] more strategic on how you're pricing, [00:09:11] how you're pricing your unit for sale. And if you have a lot [00:09:15] of equity in your unit already, then you might be at liberty [00:09:19] of having a really competitive and compelling price. While [00:09:22] Patterson says it's a buyers market for condos, [00:09:25] she warns that isn't the case for every type of property. If [00:09:29] you're a family and you're trying to find a home in in a [00:09:32] place like maybe like Greenfield for instance, [00:09:35] and you're trying to find a single family home, [00:09:38] then it might not necessarily be the buyers market that [00:09:42] you're seeking. And she's not alone in viewing this as an [00:09:45] opening to break into the real estate market. I see right now [00:09:49] a little bit of a blip of an opportunity to get a great deal [00:09:53] and then maybe move forward and earn equity over the next [00:09:56] couple of years. So, according to the experts, [00:09:58] now is as good a time as any if you're looking to purchase a condo. [00:10:05] A report by Feed NB and the Human Development Council finds [00:10:09] food banks across the province lack adequate facilities, [00:10:13] storage and funding to meet the growing need. [00:10:17] This Moncton food bank served nearly 2000 families in July [00:10:21] and they're seeing the effects of the increasing demand first [00:10:26] hand. [00:10:27] Some days were so busy we're just running around. They don't [00:10:31] even get a break and God love them we would. We couldn't do [00:10:35] what we do without our volunteers because we have 7 [00:10:39] paid staff, permanent staff and I'm one of [00:10:41] them. There are no more hours in the day, [00:10:44] there are no more days in the week. So we've had to look at [00:10:48] how we provide service and our service model had to change. So [00:10:52] now we are anybody new coming in. There is not an option to [00:10:56] register for twice a month. [00:10:58] We don't have that capacity now. We've reached capacity. [00:11:04] The report included interviews with staff at 68 food banks and [00:11:08] community kitchens across the province. It found many lack [00:11:12] adequate facilities, storage and funding to meet the [00:11:16] growing demand. [00:11:18] The report also highlights the shrinking pool of volunteers [00:11:22] that the sector relies on. [00:11:25] Taylor says it all rings true for the Moncton Food Bank. [00:11:29] This is an age to building and we're blessed to have such a [00:11:34] big space. So we maximize the space and we're able to have [00:11:38] more programs. But with that comes more expenses too, right? [00:11:42] There's higher maintenance, there's higher utility costs [00:11:46] right now because the building is agent needs a deep retrofit. [00:11:52] They are Mukto Food Bank serves between 450 to 550 families [00:11:56] every month. And although the population is smaller than [00:12:00] Moncton, the challenges are the same. [00:12:03] You know, like the donations are down, [00:12:06] but we have space issues with storing food. [00:12:10] So that's one of our biggest challenges and making sure that [00:12:14] there's money in the bank so that we can pay the people that [00:12:17] we have to pay and keep the lights on and, [00:12:20] and all that kind of stuff. And when we look at applying for [00:12:23] grants and, and stuff with the government [00:12:25] or, or with, you know, foundations and things like [00:12:28] that, the, the, [00:12:30] that money is not geared to maintain your operations. [00:12:34] The report makes some recommendations, [00:12:37] including increased government funding, [00:12:39] exploring different models such as mobile food banks or merging [00:12:44] organizations, and calling on the government [00:12:47] to invest in affordable housing, childcare and lowering the cost [00:12:51] of food. [00:12:53] In June, the province gave Feed and B 9 [00:12:56] million to buy more higher quality food. In a statement, [00:12:59] the Department of Social Development said every [00:13:02] community, kitchen and food bank that [00:13:05] applied for funding last year got what they asked for. [00:15:22] Every fall, millions roll up their sleeves [00:15:24] for a flu shot, but Americans will soon have a [00:15:28] new option. The FDA has now approved Modernas mRNA flu [00:15:32] vaccine for adults aged 50 and older. I am so excited about [00:15:36] the potential for M RNA vaccines. She says a recent [00:15:40] study found M RNA flu vaccines are 27 to 35% more effective at [00:15:44] preventing influenza than the traditional flu shots. The M [00:15:48] RNA vaccines seem to be very protective in people [00:15:52] who are older, who have comorbidities and [00:15:54] people who are immunocompromised. M RNA [00:15:57] vaccines are easier and faster to make, [00:15:59] which means more ability to adapt to new strains of the flu [00:16:03] virus. Most flu vaccine is still grown in chicken eggs, [00:16:06] and this takes months to do. And the farther ahead you have [00:16:10] to plan to grow it, your risk of a mismatch in [00:16:13] strains is going to be higher. Maderna has applied for [00:16:16] approval in Europe, Australia and here in Canada, [00:16:19] where it's under review. I'm hopeful that that helped. [00:16:22] That will be quite optimistic about it. Jill Premoli's two [00:16:26] year old son Jude died from influenza BA decade ago despite [00:16:30] being vaccinated. While she says no vaccine is perfect, [00:16:33] she now campaigns to promote the flu shot. We're not [00:16:37] vaccinating against diseases because they're uncomfortable [00:16:40] or inconvenient. We vaccinate because diseases kill people. [00:16:44] The FDA's approval comes one year after the US health [00:16:48] secretary announced a wind down of M RNA vaccine development. [00:16:52] Earlier this year, [00:16:53] the FDA refused to review Modernas application, [00:16:56] but after public pressure, it reversed its decision. Doing [00:17:00] good, rigorous science still can [00:17:07] say, public health officials will [00:17:09] have to provide clear messaging on the benefits of M RNA [00:17:13] technology so people can make informed choices on how to [00:17:17] protect themselves. Karen Pauls, CBC News, Winnipeg. [00:19:24] Quebec's rabies problem isn't getting better. Since January, [00:19:27] the province has recorded 126 cases of the disease. Last year, [00:19:31] it recorded a total of 93. The Ministry of Environment says [00:19:35] the exact cause of the spread isn't clear, [00:19:38] but it's taking steps to bring it under control. That includes [00:19:43] expanding a ban on relocating animals like raccoons, skunks, [00:19:47] foxes and coyotes in certain parts of the province. Some [00:19:51] people just catch some animals that [00:19:53] consider as nuisance on their property could be raccoons, [00:19:57] skunk and that just moved them a bit further like you know, [00:20:01] close to a for its patch just because they don't want to have [00:20:05] them on their properties. So that can lead to the spread of [00:20:09] raccoon rabies because this animal won't stay where you [00:20:13] just dropped them. It could move 5/10/15 kilometers away to [00:20:16] find food. The temporary ban now applies to 227 [00:20:20] municipalities, indigenous territories and [00:20:22] unorganized territories [00:20:24] across the Monte Clegg, Estelle and Samantha Dubec. [00:20:27] Some in those regions say they've been seeing more [00:20:31] raccoons lately. [00:20:33] Passage to the rare blood Do spend on Genius advice is to [00:20:37] stay away from the animals and take steps to prevent them from [00:20:41] coming back. Avoid feeding the animals you know. Block the [00:20:45] access to your compost to your garbages. Like if you have also [00:20:49] a small garden, just make sure it's all blocked. [00:20:53] For people with pets, rabies vaccinations are [00:20:56] recommended. [00:20:58] Well fit my mission and they are all recommend. Pastis is [00:21:01] sharp peaceful morning. The province is also ramping up its [00:21:05] vaccination efforts. In June, they vaccinated more than 2500 [00:21:09] raccoons in Montreal South Shore and are currently [00:21:12] distributing vaccine baits across affected regions. The [00:21:15] government says the hope is to once again eliminate the [00:21:19] disease in Quebec. [00:23:29] The rain was basically the water was up to here, [00:23:31] the rain had finished, everything was covered. And [00:23:35] Bill Rittelmeyer still has water on his Ontario vineyard. [00:23:39] But it's a far cry from last week after an unprecedented [00:23:43] amount of rain dumped over and over on the Niagara Region. [00:23:47] It's where about 3/4 of Canada's wine is made, [00:23:50] leaving vineyards and communities soaked. I drove in [00:23:54] this way and I was creating a wave because I was driving over [00:23:58] water [00:23:59] an absurd amount. Not good for the vines. Rittelmeyer has been [00:24:03] preparing for moments like this, though, [00:24:06] focusing on soil quality to handle all kinds of extreme [00:24:09] weather. What we have to do is get away from the old ideas on [00:24:13] how to grow grapes and start to realize that we need to expect [00:24:17] this kind of weather, wild weather in every direction. [00:24:20] Global weirding, as I like to refer to it. [00:24:24] Still, this is uncharted territory, [00:24:26] according to officials. We saw scenes of, you know, [00:24:30] water pouring off of the escarpment and bursting through [00:24:34] windows and basements. It was terrifying. [00:24:38] Share of the Grape Growers of Ontario says growers are [00:24:41] resilient. But we've had a few sleepless nights and adapting [00:24:45] to the changing climate comes at a cost. If no one buys our [00:24:48] product then it's very difficult to reinvest. So it it [00:24:51] might seem very, very little to the consumer, [00:24:54] but it makes a huge difference. This is the Chardonnay now. [00:24:57] It's a waiting game. I'm seeing just a little bit of mildew [00:25:01] starting on a couple of them that worries me. Are the roots [00:25:04] drowning [00:25:06] what that means for his crop until harvest in the fall? [00:25:09] And we're trying to get things dry. [00:25:12] Tough job, especially with more rain in [00:25:14] the forecast. She and Jordan, CBC News, [00:25:17] Niagara on the Lake Ontario. [00:29:57] The city was under a state of emergency. Wherever you want, [00:30:00] your neighbor needs help. It's what we do in Saskatchewan, [00:30:03] across Canada to drop in the valley. One day soon we hope to [00:30:07] have a vaccine.
