[00:00:28] Your news, your weather, your morning. Good Morning
[00:23:31] Odds on the prize, I'll say passionate. I got the
[00:23:34] sauce. Like Diana, vision, like medicine. They say
[00:28:43] I can't really explain it, but something inside is telling
[00:28:48] me this is my time.
[00:28:50] There's no waiting for tomorrow, no such thing. I've got to show
[00:28:55] everyone how great I am. There's a place in history
[00:28:59] waiting for me.
[00:29:01] You don't know who I am.
[00:29:06] Just watch the Diamond League. Watch all season on CBC and CBC
[00:29:11] Jail.

[00:44:07] we've got the news you want your way. So where does that
[00:44:11] leave things with real time updates on major events as they
[00:44:14] happen? What's the reaction been?
[00:44:16] CBC News keeps you connected. A potential attack forwarded.
[00:44:20] Whether it's local, national or around the world,
[00:44:23] turn to CBC News.
[00:44:25] The hoops are heating up across the country. The Canadian Elite
[00:44:29] Basketball League is here and we haven't covered,
[00:44:33] including all regular season games on Jeb. The CEB L Watch
[00:44:37] all season on CBC and CBC. Jeb.
[00:50:50] Power and politics, the scale of the crisis and chaos and a day like this. We gotta get to the power panel
[00:50:54] early. Experts and party insiders break it all down.
[00:50:56] This is a shift in the Liberal position. And then the Tories
[00:50:59] are just left to say, well, you're not moving fast and
[00:51:02] making sense of our world. Conditions have gotten pretty
[00:51:05] bad and they look like they're gonna get worse. Can't now walk
[00:51:08] that back because governing is a lot harder than campaigning.
[00:51:11] He's a drag on his own party, extremely difficult choices.
[00:51:14] The Power Panel on power and politics with David Cochrane, weekdays on CBC News.
[00:56:59] How can any of this be fair? You might think hey we just
[00:57:03] need more doctors, but that's not really it.
[00:57:06] Russian scheme here shows you where it starts,
[00:57:37] It's been difficult to say the least.
[00:57:41] I intend to resign as party leader, as Prime Minister.
[00:57:47] The funny, not so funny thing about the
[00:57:50] world right now
[00:57:51] is the thing that can consume your thoughts
[00:57:55] is the thing you maybe didn't see coming.
[00:57:59] My favorite word? Tariff
[00:58:02] is going to be cracking down. Minimum 10% tariff on all
[00:58:05] imports. Some contracts are already getting cancelled.
[00:58:08] Facing a potential 25 or even 50% tariff on steel exports.
[00:58:12] We're already hearing about layoffs. Feeling the financial
[00:58:15] pain of Canada's 25% counter tariffs. He believes that
[00:58:18] Canadians would benefit greatly from becoming the 51st state
[00:58:22] when our sovereignty is threatened.
[00:58:25] You do what you can. He is trying to break us. So you have
[00:58:28] questions. How should Canadians be preparing for that next trip?
[00:58:32] What is your plan? How seriously are you taking
[00:58:35] this threat of 100% tariffs on foreign made films?
[00:58:38] A lot of questions. How is Hamilton bracing for tariff
[00:58:42] impact? When we talk about counter
[00:58:44] terrorists, do those affect you? How much does it cost to be
[00:58:48] patriotic when picking items at the grocery store?
[00:58:51] And while your elbows have been up, elbows up.
[00:58:56] For us, it's the sleeves rolled up.
[00:58:58] Because you need answers about your neighborhood, your world,
[00:59:02] your Canada,
[00:59:04] and what it means for all of us to say we are Canadian.
[00:59:13] Our journalists countrywide and all over the world are on the
[00:59:17] case.
[00:59:18] Do you think you're gonna have to close?
[00:59:21] I hate to think about that.
[00:59:30] I'm about 15 kilometers from the Russian border. Where are
[00:59:34] Canada's allies? Where are Canada's markets?
[00:59:36] What is this country's place on the planet?
[00:59:39] It's the uncertainty that's the
[00:59:41] this issue. What is the next thing to happen and what will
[00:59:46] it mean for all of us? We assume that it will be a
[00:59:50] difficult Rd. Canada. We got you and we are right there
[00:59:54] right beside you trying to make sense of it with you.
[01:00:32] That is Typhoon Dolphin pounding China's East Coast.
[01:00:36] You're looking at Shanghai, where the storm is bringing
[01:00:40] heavy rain and strong winds. It's also causing a massive
[01:00:43] disruption at airports, forcing nearly 1 000,
[01:00:47] 000 people to relocate to safe areas.
[01:00:50] Laura Westbrook is in Hong Kong for us this morning. Laura,
[01:00:54] this storm has so many people on the move and so many
[01:00:57] disruptions. 1 000, 000 people tell us what's being
[01:01:00] done.
[01:01:05] Yeah, that's right Susan. A big
[01:01:08] effort was made before this very powerful storms arrival to
[01:01:13] move. Hundreds of thousands of people were asked to move to
[01:01:17] safety from high risk areas. Emergency shelters were also
[01:01:22] were also opened. Now Typhoon Dolphin made landfall at local
[01:01:27] time on Sunday evening packing winds of more than 150
[01:01:31] kilometres per hour. Those strong winds uprooted trees.
[01:01:36] They've also caused
[01:01:37] widespread disruption to transport, rail services,
[01:01:41] ferry services suspended, as well as hundreds of flights
[01:01:46] were cancelled, including at Shanghai's 2 main
[01:01:50] airports on Sunday. And we have seen some flights resume,
[01:01:54] but flight cancellations have continued into Monday. It's
[01:01:59] also brought with it a lot of rain, including to Shanghai,
[01:02:03] where many parts of the city were flooded. People there
[01:02:08] wading through water. The city has deployed water pumping
[01:02:13] stations to try to clear some of that water. And in Beijing,
[01:02:17] it's raised its second highest rain, rain alert warning,
[01:02:22] as it says that it's preparing for rain in the coming days as
[01:02:26] well. Now, as this storm has moved inland,
[01:02:30] it has weakened, but it's continuing to bring
[01:02:33] with it heavy rain. And that has the potential to bring with
[01:02:38] it landslides and flooding. And so authorities say they are
[01:02:43] remaining on high alert.
[01:02:45] Rain and flooding in parts of China, Shanghai,
[01:02:49] as you're mentioning, but extreme heat,
[01:02:51] I understand where you are. Tell us about that.
[01:02:59] Yeah, that's right. According to
[01:03:01] forecasters, the subsiding air, that's the air on the outer
[01:03:06] edges of Typhoon Dolphin, They bring with it warmer and
[01:03:09] drier conditions. And so here in Hong Kong,
[01:03:13] we have seen record-breaking temperatures just up the hill
[01:03:17] from where I'm standing as the headquarters of the Hong Kong
[01:03:21] Observatory. That's the city's weather agency. And on Sunday,
[01:03:25] it recorded its highest temperature since records began
[01:03:29] of 36.9°C. But we saw
[01:03:31] temperatures in other parts of the city,
[01:03:34] even higher than that in the northern part of the territory,
[01:03:38] in the New Territories, temperatures getting up to 39°C.
[01:03:41] Temperatures have since come down a little bit,
[01:03:45] but forecasters say that they will continue. It will continue
[01:03:49] to be very hot in the coming days. And under the influence
[01:03:53] of global warming and the El Nino weather phenomenon,
[01:03:56] we are expecting record-breaking temperatures to
[01:03:59] continue this year and next year. All right. Thanks very
[01:04:03] much for the update, Laura.
[01:04:09] For the first time since Donald Trump announced what he called
[01:04:12] a monumental step forward in his Gaza peace deal,
[01:04:15] a massive blow from Israel's Prime Minister
[01:04:19] at Miss Bahamas and kudos Benjamin Netanyahu telling his
[01:04:22] cabinet Israel rejects the 15 point plan. An understanding
[01:04:26] with Israel is this comes just ten days after Trump said
[01:04:29] mediators had struck A historic agreement with Hamas. The group
[01:04:33] would disarm when Israel halts its strikes in Gaza
[01:04:38] and withdrawals from the Strip.
[01:04:40] Now Netanyahu, who's seeking reelection,
[01:04:43] says that's not going to happen, saying Hamas must disarm first.
[01:04:47] I suspect that President Trump understands that Israel is
[01:04:51] going to have elections at the end of October and that what
[01:04:55] Prime Minister Netanyahu is doing is probably about
[01:04:58] Israel's elections. The Israeli PM also rejected calls for two
[01:05:02] state solution,
[01:05:05] saying as long as I am Prime Minister,
[01:05:07] a Palestinian state will not be established,
[01:05:10] not in Gaza and not in Judea and Samaria,
[01:05:13] the biblical term for the West Bank.
[01:05:16] Multiple reports citing a senior Hamas official say the
[01:05:19] group remains committed to the deal and expects the US and
[01:05:22] mediators to press Netanyahu and his government to adhere to
[01:05:26] it. I have to tell you, I was surprised. This former
[01:05:29] senior advisor to the US special envoy for Middle East
[01:05:32] peace says Israel's response casts doubt on the future of
[01:05:35] any agreement. Yesterday a big deal to go against Donald Trump.
[01:05:39] What we don't know is whether now it's a big deal to go
[01:05:42] against Donald Trump. But I think what Netanyahu is saying
[01:05:45] is some weakness on the travel side, on the Trump administration,
[01:05:49] their ability to affect power, to make change. On top of
[01:05:53] rejecting the deal, Netanyahu says the IDF will
[01:05:56] continue strikes in Gaza, saying they're necessary to
[01:05:59] thwart threats. Caroline Barghouti, CBC News, Washington.
[01:08:04] Concession after concession after concession. Conservative
[01:08:07] Leader Pierre Paul Liev criticizing Prime Minister Mark
[01:08:10] Carney's attempts to strike a trade deal with the US. In an
[01:08:14] open letter, Polep says Canada has caved to
[01:08:17] too many demands, including removing counter
[01:08:20] tariffs, scrapping the digital services
[01:08:23] tax and cutting a deal to share toll revenue from the Gordie
[01:08:27] Howe International Bridge. But no more unilateral concessions
[01:08:31] before getting to the bargaining.
[01:08:34] The criticism comes as trade talks between the US and Canada
[01:08:38] intensify. We should not be afraid to walk away from a bad
[01:08:42] deal. This former special adviser in international trade
[01:08:46] at the Ministry of Finance says Canada's concessions so far
[01:08:50] have been strategic and beneficial,
[01:08:52] but argues there is little left to concede. Our economic model
[01:08:57] is under assault. If we continue to give in concessions,
[01:09:00] we continue to lose our sovereignty as a nation.
[01:09:04] Government is now willing to offer movement on more US
[01:09:08] demands in exchange for tariff relief,
[01:09:11] including lifting retaliatory tariffs on US autos,
[01:09:14] making some changes on dairy and ending provincial bans on
[01:09:18] American alcohol sales, according to industry sources
[01:09:22] who spoke to CBC News,
[01:09:26] though, Canada can't force the
[01:09:28] provinces to restock, and the idea is deeply
[01:09:31] unpopular in Quebec. In a word, in cars and Ontario, like we,
[01:09:35] we're losing a lot in this commercial war. At least we had
[01:09:39] some gain with the alcohol. Quebec's premier is one of
[01:09:42] several pledging to continue a ban. That after several
[01:09:46] American alcohol companies have moved some manufacturing to
[01:09:50] Quebec. Producing here in Quebec and creating jobs and is
[01:09:54] a plus value to the economy.
[01:09:56] The pressure on the trade talks now up against the August 19th
[01:10:00] deadline when a new round of 50% tariffs on some Canadian
[01:10:04] goods could take effect, though the Canada U.S. trade
[01:10:07] minister is set to return to Washington this week. Alexander
[01:10:11] Silverman, CBC News, Montreal.
[01:10:15] Staff at this Winnipeg golf accessory company are busy
[01:10:18] packing up orders for American customers. We got a few like
[01:10:22] stocking orders from our sort of US customers and like it
[01:10:26] needs to ship by August 17th to just in case those sheriffs
[01:10:29] come in effect. Up to 40% of their sales are in the US. How
[01:10:33] many of these go to the US1 customer buys 2000?
[01:10:36] They're trying to beat the threat of 50% tariffs on August
[01:10:40] 19th. They'd be very tough to eat that charge. Usually we
[01:10:43] drop ship to a lot of the golf courses
[01:10:46] in the States, so usually we pay all the
[01:10:48] duties up front. Sports equipment is part of the latest
[01:10:51] tariff threat by U.S. President Donald Trump on everything from
[01:10:55] wine and cement to agricultural products,
[01:10:57] things that are tariff free under the existing Canada, US,
[01:11:01] Mexico trade deal,
[01:11:03] situations have intensified. Both sides say they'll be in
[01:11:07] touch every day until the deadline. It's a very,
[01:11:10] I would say very critical time in this,
[01:11:12] in this whole process. The stakes are high. About 70% of
[01:11:16] what's produced in Canada is exported to the US. Nearly 2
[01:11:19] million Canadians work in manufacturing. What you're
[01:11:22] seeing is real threats to their business. Because the US is our
[01:11:26] biggest customer, it's often our biggest supplier
[01:11:29] as well. Small businesses also anxiously watching the
[01:11:33] negotiations. This is high stakes
[01:11:35] right now. There are a lot of communities,
[01:11:37] a lot of businesses whose futures,
[01:11:39] whose economic futures are on the line right now. And so
[01:11:42] we're all hoping that Canadian negotiators get a deal,
[01:11:45] a durable one across the finish line.
[01:11:49] the US president likes to, as they say,
[01:11:51] drive for show and putt for dough. Andrew Hunt would like
[01:11:55] to plant more of his flags on American golf courses. Done
[01:11:59] those, too. So what do you think the
[01:12:01] chances are of doing more Trump flags?
[01:12:05] We've done them before. For him. That would be a trade deal
[01:12:10] whole in one. Karen Pauls, CBC News, Winnipeg.
[01:12:17] This is the brand new US Port of Entry facility at the Gordie
[01:12:22] Howe International Bridge, paid for entirely by Canada as
[01:12:27] part of the $6.4 billion construction costs for the
[01:12:31] bridge. It's massive, 400, 000 square feet. It sits on
[01:12:35] nearly 170 acres of land for trade and travel. We are the
[01:12:40] largest northern border port.
[01:12:44] US Customs and Border Protection invited the CBC and
[01:12:47] a handful of other news outlets to tour the facility. As you go
[01:12:51] up to the bridge, we got a behind the scenes look
[01:12:54] at how the US enforces their northern border
[01:12:59] from the sky to the water.
[01:13:02] And there's lots of water. The Detroit sector covers 1388
[01:13:08] kilometers of the border, all of it on the water.
[01:13:13] This is part of daily patrols performed by US Customs and
[01:13:16] Border Protection here along the Detroit River as well as in
[01:13:20] the Great Lakes. They're looking for pleasure crafts
[01:13:23] that are operating suspiciously. This part there we go from the
[01:13:26] mouth up here back down to the bridge was one of the top
[01:13:30] smuggling routes in all the United States where we saw how
[01:13:33] many votes today.
[01:13:35] And every boat could be a smuggler unless we stop every
[01:13:38] single boat. So you have to use intelligence in partnerships to
[01:13:42] be able to secure this area up here. Canada's very bad abuser.
[01:13:46] When U.S. President Donald Trump first slapped tariffs on
[01:13:49] Canada, he cited the country's
[01:13:51] inability to prevent drugs and human traffickers from pouring
[01:13:55] across the border into the US says justification,
[01:13:58] calling it a national emergency.
[01:14:02] But the reality on the ground in Michigan is a lot more
[01:14:05] complicated than that. No, it's really not that big of a
[01:14:09] problem for inbound. Yeah, a lot of the stuff that we
[01:14:12] actually give, we get a lot of it going
[01:14:14] outbound. And when you say outbound,
[01:14:16] you mean going from the US into Canada
[01:14:21] and the same with guns.
[01:14:24] The guns are gonna be mainly coming from here to Canada.
[01:14:27] Well, not exactly the wrong turns. OK.
[01:14:29] So you get a lot of people that are actually making wrong turns
[01:14:33] that are actually on turning onto the bridge and turning
[01:14:37] into the tunnel. And
[01:14:39] vehicle searches actually result in finding of weapons.
[01:14:44] While some Americans may be accidentally bringing weapons
[01:14:49] across, there is also a robust illegal
[01:14:52] trade. In 2024, nearly 90% of guns recovered in
[01:14:56] crimes in Ontario were traced back to the US. This border
[01:15:00] expert says both countries pose threats to each other. Firearms
[01:15:05] for sure, but also the United States is
[01:15:09] the the
[01:15:10] in between the, the middle, the the middle ground for drugs
[01:15:13] coming up into our country from Mexico and from South America
[01:15:18] going South. The threat that we pose is actually the people we
[01:15:23] let in on temporary status.
[01:15:26] While authorities on both sides of the border look to curb
[01:15:30] illegal activity, it's not a major concern for
[01:15:33] many people in Detroit.
[01:15:36] No, I've lived in Detroit my whole
[01:15:38] life. I think Canada is rather friendly. When I was younger,
[01:15:42] we go over to Canada all the time. It was like a little
[01:15:45] getaway. As long as you guys keep your side clean and we
[01:15:48] keep ours clean, we're good. I love it. It's
[01:15:51] unfortunate that the two countries are going through
[01:15:54] what they're going through right now. Hopefully the
[01:15:58] politicians can get their heads together and, and,
[01:16:01] and fix it because they've been a good neighbor.
[01:16:06] Despite the political tensions, U.S. officials say the working
[01:16:10] relationship with their Canadian counterparts remains
[01:16:13] unchanged. Locally. We still have great partnerships with
[01:16:17] those agencies right across the the water. For now,
[01:16:20] those partnerships continue to bridge the political divide.
[01:16:24] Security on both sides of the border depends on it.
[01:20:44] I don't feel I owe
[01:20:47] people anything. If anything, I'm out of answers and to have
[01:20:51] my children back to me. Malaya Brokes Murray makes no
[01:20:54] apologies for staying silent. She hasn't talked publicly
[01:20:58] since the weekend her two children, Jack Sullivan,
[01:21:02] who was four at the time, and Lily, who was six,
[01:21:05] went missing from their home in Lansdowne,
[01:21:08] Nova Scotia. She says she was advised by the RCMP not to talk.
[01:21:12] I just did whatever they told me to do because I didn't want
[01:21:17] it
[01:21:18] advertise the case in any way. Brooks Murray says she heard
[01:21:21] Lily and Jack playing in their bedroom the morning they
[01:21:25] disappeared on May 2nd, 2025. Seeing Willie's face pop
[01:21:28] in the bedroom. You laid eyes on Lily that morning? Yeah,
[01:21:33] And you heard Jack. Yeah. Then later that morning,
[01:21:37] nothing. At 10:01 AM, Brooks Marie called 911. Police
[01:21:40] descended on their home and property,
[01:21:43] and search crews combed the surrounding woods. The
[01:21:47] following day, Brooks Murray left the area,
[01:21:50] and she says she has never returned. The police had said
[01:21:54] that we should go and told my family privately to Take Me Out
[01:21:58] of there that day. The relationship between Brooks
[01:22:02] Murray and the Children's
[01:22:04] father, Daniel Martel, came to an end,
[01:22:06] a point she declined to talk about along with the
[01:22:09] environment inside the home.
[01:22:12] Brooks Murray says even though she hasn't been in the
[01:22:15] spotlight, she has been working with
[01:22:17] police behind the scenes. She says from her interactions with
[01:22:21] RCMP that she believes she and her family are not considered
[01:22:25] suspects. Did you have anything to do with the disappearance of
[01:22:29] Jack and Lily? No.
[01:22:30] What do you think happened to them?
[01:22:34] The only thing I can assume is someone took them,
[01:22:37] but for what reason I don't know.
[01:22:40] RCMP have always maintained this was not an abduction and
[01:22:44] no suspects have been named in the disappearance. I continue
[01:22:48] to get the same update
[01:22:50] over and over and I keep asking for new avenues and they keep
[01:22:55] saying we're working on it and I just don't feel like that's
[01:22:59] enough. RCMP declined an interview,
[01:23:02] saying the investigation into the disappearance of Lily and
[01:23:06] Jack Sullivan remains a priority for the Nova Scotia

[01:23:14] and the progress being made can't be shared publicly.

[01:24:00] Overtime it'll, it'll move, does a 360,
[01:24:02] but it's essentially the eyes of our system. It's perched
[01:24:05] atop a student dorm building on Burnaby Mountain. This AI
[01:24:09] camera is one of six newly installed around the region,
[01:24:12] constantly scanning the horizon for signs of smoke. Zooming in,
[01:24:16] zooming out of certain areas. And if it does send something,
[01:24:20] it's going to zoom in and analyze it. The camera spotted
[01:24:23] this recent wildfire in Metro Vancouver,
[01:24:26] alerting crews even before a 911 call is made,
[01:24:28] allowing them to respond
[01:24:30] more quickly. Firefighters have also installed 45 chemical
[01:24:34] sniffing ground sensors attached to trees deep in
[01:24:36] forested areas, like this one on the side of
[01:24:39] Burnaby Mountain. The new cameras and sensors are now
[01:24:42] being used in Kelowna and Vernon too. BC,
[01:24:44] leading the country in wildfire detection. Because of this
[01:24:48] impact, I can only say that this
[01:24:50] technology will save A life one day.

[01:25:00] wildfire. Hovering over the flames tearing through the
[01:25:03] Fraser Canyon. It drops many fire starters as part of a
[01:25:06] planned ignition. Crews have been testing the technology for
[01:25:09] years. Say they shed a happy tear to see it in action in
[01:25:12] real life. Those happy little moments are fleeting in in
[01:25:15] these types of wildfire seasons. It's not every day that you get
[01:25:19] to to to see something that that can help you in the future.
[01:25:22] We can start there
[01:25:24] gathering data on it. Meanwhile, inside this lab at UBC,
[01:25:27] researchers are training AI chat bots to help crews triage
[01:25:31] fires and prioritize locations using real time data based on
[01:25:35] current scenarios. Predictive modeling presents decision
[01:25:39] makers with various outcomes, weighing factors like
[01:25:42] evacuation impacts, structure loss and
[01:25:44] environmental damage. With what we're doing,
[01:25:47] they can see cost consequences. But he says they will never
[01:25:51] train artificial intelligence to decide which option is best
[01:25:55] because like many in the field point out,
[01:25:58] technology can never replace human intuition. Tanya Fletcher,
[01:26:02] CBC News, Vancouver.
[01:26:07] It's another summer in Saskatchewan full of
[01:26:11] destructive weather. Hail, flooding and even tornadoes
[01:26:14] have hit the Prairie province, and so far this year,
[01:26:18] six of those events are considered to be catastrophic.
[01:26:22] The latest numbers from just two of them showed the insured
[01:26:26] losses in Saskatchewan and Manitoba climbed above $840
[01:26:30] million, and that figure is expected to
[01:26:33] grow. This year sits in second for the most or the highest
[01:26:37] incurred
[01:26:38] insured loss for Saskatchewan, where last year is sitting in
[01:26:42] first. But again, we have 4 catastrophes unknown
[01:26:45] for this year. Not unknown, but we haven't produced the
[01:26:49] estimates on those yet. From wildfires last year to flooding
[01:26:52] this summer, one contractor in Prince Albert
[01:26:55] says there's so much destruction his business has
[01:26:58] doubled in size. We've talked in the office and we haven't
[01:27:02] seen storms like what we've seen
[01:27:06] since like the early 90s. That's echoed in the Southeast
[01:27:09] where tornado tore through in June. They say that it's cycles
[01:27:13] or whatever, but I've never seen this kind
[01:27:16] of extremes like the heat to the to the rain,
[01:27:19] bananas. These incidents have a real cost to all of us because
[01:27:23] when these destructive events happen and people file
[01:27:26] insurance claims were the ones who are likely to bear the cost.
[01:27:30] Is there a business they're going to recoup those losses
[01:27:34] And the one way they're going to do that is through higher
[01:27:38] premiums and, um,
[01:27:40] more restrictive coverage. Jason Thistlethwaite studies
[01:27:43] the insurance system in Canada and says things need to change.
[01:27:46] It's really clear that our current approach to managing
[01:27:49] climate risk is becoming increasingly expensive.
[01:27:52] The policy challenge is to shift away from repeatedly
[01:27:55] paying for the recovery of these disasters and towards
[01:27:58] measures that reduce the risk before the disaster occurs. But
[01:28:02] Thistlethwaite says that's not something we're good at. For
[01:28:05] every dollar we spend on recovery,
[01:28:07] we may only put a few cents towards risk reduction,
[01:28:10] which means we're stuck in a loop where even as weather gets
[01:28:13] more destructive, the cost of fixing it is only getting higher.

[01:28:23] Kernza has been growing for the last three summers here at the
[01:28:28] Herrington Research Station, part of a project across the
[01:28:32] Maritimes studying the potential of the wheat grass to
[01:28:36] grow here. Kernza is a perennial,
[01:28:38] so it comes back year after year,
[01:28:40] up to seven years or more after it has been planted on the East
[01:28:45] Coast. We do grass extremely well and really this is a what
[01:28:49] they call a dual purpose crop where you can actually take a
[01:28:53] cut of forage or, you know, grass or whatever,
[01:28:57] feed it to animals and and you can also harvest the grain.
[01:29:02] Mills says that as a perennial, Kernza can also save money on
[01:29:07] seeds, plowing and fertilizer.
[01:29:10] And it fits in really if if a potato farmer was looking to
[01:29:14] fill the gaps between the potato crops in the rotation.
[01:29:19] Kerns also has a deep root system,
[01:29:21] and because it's a perennial, it stays in the soil,
[01:29:25] which can prevent erosion. It ticks those boxes for keeping
[01:29:30] the soil covered, fixing carbon. But research has
[01:29:33] shown Kearns A doesn't have the kind of yields that many
[01:29:38] growers are looking for compared to traditional
[01:29:41] crops such as wheat and barley. You know,
[01:29:44] people have been working on it for just over 20 years now.
[01:29:48] It's not like the history that mankind has with wheat,
[01:29:52] which is about 8000 years. So we've got a long way to go.
[01:29:56] Kernza has attracted the attention of celebrities and
[01:29:59] chefs around the world, inspiring a Of Kernza products.
[01:30:03] Most of the interest so far has been South of the border. It is
[01:30:08] being used by a few artists and bakeries and things like that.
[01:30:12] It
[01:30:13] can be used to make whiskey and beer. It's just like some of
[01:30:16] these other grains, quinoa, you know, for example, it,
[01:30:20] it seemed to once everything got sorted, I mean, it,
[01:30:24] it found its way into the the food value chain. It's just
[01:30:28] another option that for a crop that does really well in PEI.
[01:30:32] Mills says they're going to keep growing. Kernza here at
[01:30:36] the research station to see how long it will keep coming back,
[01:30:40] with the hope that some Maritime growers will also
[01:30:44] decide
[01:30:45] to give it a try. Nancy Russell, CBC News, Harrington.
[01:30:53] Sweet corn season has arrived in Quebec and this year farmers
[01:30:56] fields are overflowing. So it was a little bit late getting
[01:30:59] started, but we're in the full swing of
[01:31:01] it now. This farmer says a chilly spring delayed crop
[01:31:04] development, but a recent burst of hot
[01:31:07] summer weather triggered a huge growth spurt. So we got six
[01:31:10] different varieties here and they all have different
[01:31:13] maturity dates, but this year they all came in
[01:31:16] at the same time. That sudden surge has overwhelmed store
[01:31:19] shelves and sent prices plunging. According to data
[01:31:22] from the Quebec
[01:31:24] Vegetable Growers Association, local corn prices plummeted by
[01:31:27] 23% in the last week on average. In one week just here at the
[01:31:31] Laplace Puskar, the price dropped by more than
[01:31:35] 50%. And though these deals are sweet as corn for consumers,
[01:31:39] demand from US buyers has also decreased,
[01:31:42] likely because crops have also been strong South of the border,
[01:31:46] says the growers association. When there's no shortages,
[01:31:50] usually we are, unfortunately, while we keep our vegetable
[01:31:54] at home. Despite slimmer margins on corn,
[01:31:56] this season has also been profitable for other types of
[01:32:00] vegetables, ensuring Quebec farmers still
[01:32:02] yield a profit. Our vegetable growers are really good to
[01:32:06] manage to manage financial risk. Even if they sell at a loss for
[01:32:10] one item, sometimes they can still be OK
[01:32:12] in the end of the season. Here at Quinn Farm,
[01:32:15] just outside Montreal, visitors can pick their own
[01:32:18] corn and people just can't get enough. We tasted it,
[01:32:21] it's really good. And then he asked me to try the other one,
[01:32:25] and it's even better. Basically, I'm gonna take half hour. Best
[01:32:29] corn around. The owner says the corn is so good,
[01:32:32] you can eat it raw. Try that in Quebec. Another wave of produce
[01:32:36] is on the way, with fresh broccoli,
[01:32:38] cantaloupe and local lettuce heading straight to store
[01:32:42] shelves. It's the right time to save on the groceries and buy
[01:32:45] local. For shoppers. The timing couldn't be better. Natalia
[01:32:49] Vexel, CBC News, Montreal.

[01:45:20] had completely lost my ability to balance. My limbs were kind
[01:45:25] of really I felt like Gumby
[01:45:28] really dragged all and going down bouncing off the wall and
[01:45:33] I told my wife something is seriously wrong. You bring me
[01:45:37] to the hospital. I was there for almost 8 months. It took
[01:45:42] some time before he was finally diagnosed with West Nile virus
[01:45:47] and it nearly killed him. I lost like 70 lbs in about a
[01:45:51] month in the hospital because I was paralyzed. I couldn't eat,
[01:45:56] I couldn't swallow. I
[01:45:58] my hearing was gone, my eyesight and my eyelids
[01:46:02] wouldn't clothes. My GI system was completely shut down. Today,
[01:46:06] he deals with paralysis, memory loss,
[01:46:09] and has difficulty forming and communicating his thoughts. My
[01:46:13] wife, my friends, my family, like everybody,
[01:46:16] they have to treat me differently, right?
[01:46:19] I can't get dressed anymore. I people have to feed me. That's
[01:46:23] the kind of
[01:46:25] degrading
[01:46:28] that happened to my life. Carmen was an incredibly active
[01:46:32] woman. In fact,
[01:46:34] even though she was in her mid 60s,
[01:46:37] she didn't act like she was in her mid cessation. That's her.
[01:46:41] Lisa Applegate's sister Carmen died earlier this year after
[01:46:45] battling West Nile virus for six months. Before the virus,
[01:46:48] she says her sister was active, independent,
[01:46:51] healthy and full of life. I would tell you it was torturous
[01:46:55] watching my sister in that state. Over time,
[01:46:58] she started to come back alive, you know, again,
[01:47:01] her head was collapsed. Eventually her head was put
[01:47:05] put app, but it was little by little by
[01:47:07] little. But the outlook for her recovery was not promising. She
[01:47:11] made a decision that she didn't want to go on. She did not have
[01:47:15] made it was they took her off the respirator,
[01:47:17] they made her comfortable and she died peacefully after three
[01:47:21] days. Public Health Ontario says the peak months for
[01:47:24] reported cases of West Nile virus are August and September,
[01:47:28] so it's too early to compare this year's numbers. But last
[01:47:31] year there were 181 cases in Ontario,
[01:47:33] which was the highest number ever
[01:47:35] reported. Toronto was among the areas with the most cases.
[01:47:39] While there has been an increase over the last two
[01:47:41] years, looking over a longer time period of 10 years
[01:47:45] there, there hasn't been sort of a
[01:47:47] clear upward trend. So with rising temperatures,
[01:47:50] it will be anticipated that overtime there will be more
[01:47:53] mosquito activity and more cases of West Nile virus. Going
[01:47:56] forward, health officials recommend
[01:47:58] residents wear long sleeves, use bug spray and remove
[01:48:00] standing water where mosquitoes can breed. It's not hard to
[01:48:03] diagnose. We have the appropriate diagnostic tests in
[01:48:06] Canada. Usually they're done out of the provincial public
[01:48:09] health laboratories and that treatment is supportive. We
[01:48:12] don't have a dedicated antiviral drug to treat this.
[01:48:15] It's supportive
[01:48:16] there. And the third other point is that we don't have a
[01:48:19] vaccine for this. She didn't know the risks that she was
[01:48:23] taking. I didn't know the risks. And when I talked to people
[01:48:26] about this, they're flabbergasted. They
[01:48:29] have no idea that there is West Nile in the city. But if that's
[01:48:32] just one person
[01:48:34] listens and it saves them from having the grief that we've had
[01:48:38] to go. We've lost an incredible woman and she had a huge
[01:48:41] community. Do you want to take this yourself? Yeah,
[01:48:44] just put it on. Through intense physio,
[01:48:53] has a challenging journey ahead. He says at times,
[01:48:56] the medical system has failed him. He's been denied various
[01:48:59] rehab programs and has paid thousands of dollars out of
[01:49:02] pocket to help with his recovery. He hopes
[01:49:05] that changes. And I hope that the medical world also learned
[01:49:09] that not to abandoned us and say, well,
[01:49:13] we don't know how to treat you. There's no treatment. There is
[01:49:17] a treatment and the treatment is get get the patient as
[01:49:21] quickly as possible into a physio program. I want to make
[01:49:25] sure that
[01:49:27] people have hope.
[01:49:29] Do you get it?
[01:49:31] If you come through without
[01:49:33] dying, there's a way that you will
[01:49:37] recover. Talia Ricci, CBC News Toronto
[01:49:42] gives you. Do you see? Teresa Janowski looks back on
[01:49:46] an event honoring her mother, Colleen Titanic,
[01:49:49] in early July. The 70 year old is terminally ill with cancer
[01:49:53] and they were celebrating her life. She, you can see
[01:49:57] she's got colour to her, she's happy,
[01:50:00] you know her friends are there and her loved ones. This photo
[01:50:04] on her phone is from a gathering on August 3rd. The
[01:50:07] next day, Janowski says her mother was
[01:50:09] struggling to walk and go about daily life independently. She
[01:50:12] called an ambulance and her mother was taken to hospital.
[01:50:15] And that was not an easy call to make because I knew
[01:50:19] in in the state that she was in and the condition that the odds
[01:50:23] of her coming home
[01:50:25] were probably not well. Chernosky says when they got to
[01:50:29] the ER at the Health Sciences Centre,
[01:50:31] it was crowded and chaotic. There's cops there. There are
[01:50:34] people who are going through withdrawals that are spinning
[01:50:38] at nurses, kicking, screaming, punching walls. She says the
[01:50:41] worst part was the 20 hour wait her mother experienced before
[01:50:45] seeing a doctor in a hallway and on a Gurney. Are they
[01:50:48] taking care of her? You know, is she OK?
[01:50:51] You know, and obviously not all those
[01:50:53] things were going through my head. Chernosky says her mother
[01:50:56] wasn't given a bed or seen by a doctor until after she called
[01:51:00] the office of Manitoba's health minister. Her mother was later
[01:51:03] transferred to palliative care at Riverview Health Centre. Had
[01:51:06] I not pushed and pushed and pushed and pushed,
[01:51:09] I can guarantee you my mom would would have still been in
[01:51:12] that hallway and who knows, she could have passed. Health
[01:51:15] Minister Uzoma Asegura addressed wait times during an
[01:51:18] unrelated news conference on Friday. We would love for these
[01:51:21] challenges get fixed much more quickly. We would all love to see those
[01:51:25] wait times address much faster, but the reality of it is we did
[01:51:29] not get to a place where those wait times were high overnight,
[01:51:32] and we're not going to get out of it quickly either. Still,
[01:51:36] Janowsky says the situation is unacceptable. Now,
[01:51:39] she's focused on making sure her mother's days ahead are
[01:51:42] full of love and comfort. Gavin Axelrod, CBC News, Winnipeg.
[02:00:39] heavy rain and strong winds. It's also causing a massive
[02:00:43] disruption at airports, forcing nearly 1 000,
[02:00:46] 000 people to relocate to safe areas.
[02:00:49] Laura Westbrook is in Hong Kong for us this morning. Laura,
[02:00:53] this storm has so many people on the move and so many
[02:00:56] disruptions. 1 000, 000 people tell us what's being
[02:00:59] done.
[02:01:04] Yeah, that's right Susan. A big
[02:01:07] effort was made before this very powerful storms arrival to
[02:01:12] move. Hundreds of thousands of people were asked to move to
[02:01:17] safety from high risk areas. Emergency shelters were also
[02:01:21] were also opened. Now Typhoon Dolphin made landfall at local
[02:01:26] time on Sunday evening packing winds of more than 150
[02:01:30] kilometres per hour. Those strong winds uprooted trees.
[02:01:35] They've also caused
[02:01:37] widespread disruption to transport, rail services,
[02:01:41] ferry services suspended, as well as hundreds of flights
[02:01:45] were cancelled, including at Shanghai's 2 main
[02:01:49] airports on Sunday. And we have seen some flights resume,
[02:01:53] but flight cancellations have continued into Monday. It's
[02:01:58] also brought with it a lot of rain, including to Shanghai,
[02:02:03] where many parts of the city were flooded. People there
[02:02:07] wading through water. The city has deployed water pumping
[02:02:12] stations to try to clear some of that water. And in Beijing,
[02:02:16] it's raised its second highest rain, rain alert warning,
[02:02:21] as it says that it's preparing for rain in the coming days as
[02:02:26] well. Now, as this storm has moved inland,
[02:02:29] it has weakened, but it's continuing to bring
[02:02:33] with it heavy rain. And that has the potential to bring with
[02:02:37] it landslides and flooding. And so authorities say they are
[02:02:42] remaining on high alert.
[02:02:45] Rain and flooding in parts of China, Shanghai,
[02:02:48] as you're mentioning, but extreme heat,
[02:02:51] I understand where you are. Tell us about that.
[02:02:58] Yeah, that's right. According to
[02:03:01] forecasters, the subsiding air, that's the air on the outer
[02:03:05] edges of Typhoon Dolphin, They bring with it warmer and
[02:03:09] drier conditions. And so here in Hong Kong,
[02:03:12] we have seen record-breaking temperatures just up the hill
[02:03:16] from where I'm standing as the headquarters of the Hong Kong
[02:03:20] Observatory. That's the city's weather agency. And on Sunday,
[02:03:25] it recorded its highest temperature since records began
[02:03:29] of 36.9°C. But we saw
[02:03:30] temperatures in other parts of the city,
[02:03:33] even higher than that in the northern part of the territory,
[02:03:37] in the New Territories, temperatures getting up to 39°C.
[02:03:41] Temperatures have since come down a little bit,
[02:03:44] but forecasters say that they will continue. It will continue
[02:03:48] to be very hot in the coming days. And under the influence
[02:03:52] of global warming and the El Nino weather phenomenon,
[02:03:55] we are expecting record-breaking temperatures to
[02:03:59] continue this year and next year. All right. Thanks very
[02:04:02] much for the update, Laura.
[02:04:08] For the first time since Donald Trump announced what he called
[02:04:11] a monumental step forward in his Gaza peace deal,
[02:04:14] a massive blow from Israel's Prime Minister
[02:04:18] at Miss Bahamas and kudos Benjamin Netanyahu telling his
[02:04:21] cabinet Israel rejects the 15 point plan. An understanding
[02:04:25] with Israel is this comes just ten days after Trump said
[02:04:29] mediators had struck A historic agreement with Hamas. The group
[02:04:33] would disarm when Israel halts its strikes in Gaza
[02:04:37] and withdrawals from the Strip.
[02:04:40] Now Netanyahu, who's seeking reelection,
[02:04:42] says that's not going to happen, saying Hamas must disarm first.
[02:04:46] I suspect that President Trump understands that Israel is
[02:04:50] going to have elections at the end of October and that what
[02:04:54] Prime Minister Netanyahu is doing is probably about
[02:04:57] Israel's elections. The Israeli PM also rejected calls for two
[02:05:01] state solution,
[02:05:04] saying as long as I am Prime Minister,
[02:05:06] a Palestinian state will not be established,
[02:05:09] not in Gaza and not in Judea and Samaria,
[02:05:12] the biblical term for the West Bank.
[02:05:15] Multiple reports citing a senior Hamas official say the
[02:05:18] group remains committed to the deal and expects the US and
[02:05:21] mediators to press Netanyahu and his government to adhere to
[02:05:25] it. I have to tell you, I was surprised. This former
[02:05:28] senior advisor to the US special envoy for Middle East
[02:05:31] peace says Israel's response casts doubt on the future of
[02:05:34] any agreement. Yesterday a big deal to go against Donald Trump.
[02:05:38] What we don't know is whether now it's a big deal to go
[02:05:41] against Donald Trump. But I think what Netanyahu is saying
[02:05:45] is some weakness on the travel side, on the Trump administration,
[02:05:48] their ability to affect power, to make change. On top of
[02:05:52] rejecting the deal, Netanyahu says the IDF will
[02:05:55] continue strikes in Gaza, saying they're necessary to
[02:05:58] thwart threats. Caroline Barghouti, CBC News, Washington.
[02:08:03] Concession after concession after concession. Conservative
[02:08:06] Leader Pierre Paul Liev criticizing Prime Minister Mark
[02:08:10] Carney's attempts to strike a trade deal with the US. In an
[02:08:14] open letter, Polep says Canada has caved to
[02:08:16] too many demands, including removing counter
[02:08:19] tariffs, scrapping the digital services
[02:08:22] tax and cutting a deal to share toll revenue from the Gordie
[02:08:26] Howe International Bridge. But no more unilateral concessions
[02:08:30] before getting to the bargaining.
[02:08:33] The criticism comes as trade talks between the US and Canada
[02:08:37] intensify. We should not be afraid to walk away from a bad
[02:08:41] deal. This former special adviser in international trade
[02:08:45] at the Ministry of Finance says Canada's concessions so far
[02:08:49] have been strategic and beneficial,
[02:08:52] but argues there is little left to concede. Our economic model
[02:08:56] is under assault. If we continue to give in concessions,
[02:09:00] we continue to lose our sovereignty as a nation.
[02:09:03] Government is now willing to offer movement on more US
[02:09:07] demands in exchange for tariff relief,
[02:09:10] including lifting retaliatory tariffs on US autos,
[02:09:13] making some changes on dairy and ending provincial bans on
[02:09:18] American alcohol sales, according to industry sources
[02:09:21] who spoke to CBC News,
[02:09:25] though, Canada can't force the
[02:09:27] provinces to restock, and the idea is deeply
[02:09:30] unpopular in Quebec. In a word, in cars and Ontario, like we,
[02:09:34] we're losing a lot in this commercial war. At least we had
[02:09:38] some gain with the alcohol. Quebec's premier is one of
[02:09:42] several pledging to continue a ban. That after several
[02:09:45] American alcohol companies have moved some manufacturing to
[02:09:49] Quebec. Producing here in Quebec and creating jobs and is
[02:09:53] a plus value to the economy.
[02:09:55] The pressure on the trade talks now up against the August 19th
[02:09:59] deadline when a new round of 50% tariffs on some Canadian
[02:10:03] goods could take effect, though the Canada U.S. trade
[02:10:07] minister is set to return to Washington this week. Alexander
[02:10:10] Silverman, CBC News, Montreal.
[02:10:15] Staff at this Winnipeg golf accessory company are busy
[02:10:17] packing up orders for American customers. We got a few like
[02:10:21] stocking orders from our sort of US customers and like it
[02:10:25] needs to ship by August 17th to just in case those sheriffs
[02:10:29] come in effect. Up to 40% of their sales are in the US. How
[02:10:32] many of these go to the US1 customer buys 2000?
[02:10:35] They're trying to beat the threat of 50% tariffs on August
[02:10:39] 19th. They'd be very tough to eat that charge. Usually we
[02:10:43] drop ship to a lot of the golf courses
[02:10:45] in the States, so usually we pay all the
[02:10:47] duties up front. Sports equipment is part of the latest
[02:10:51] tariff threat by U.S. President Donald Trump on everything from
[02:10:54] wine and cement to agricultural products,
[02:10:57] things that are tariff free under the existing Canada, US,
[02:11:00] Mexico trade deal,
[02:11:02] situations have intensified. Both sides say they'll be in
[02:11:06] touch every day until the deadline. It's a very,
[02:11:09] I would say very critical time in this,
[02:11:11] in this whole process. The stakes are high. About 70% of
[02:11:15] what's produced in Canada is exported to the US. Nearly 2
[02:11:18] million Canadians work in manufacturing. What you're
[02:11:22] seeing is real threats to their business. Because the US is our
[02:11:26] biggest customer, it's often our biggest supplier
[02:11:29] as well. Small businesses also anxiously watching the
[02:11:32] negotiations. This is high stakes
[02:11:34] right now. There are a lot of communities,
[02:11:36] a lot of businesses whose futures,
[02:11:38] whose economic futures are on the line right now. And so
[02:11:42] we're all hoping that Canadian negotiators get a deal,
[02:11:45] a durable one across the finish line.
[02:11:48] the US president likes to, as they say,
[02:11:51] drive for show and putt for dough. Andrew Hunt would like
[02:11:54] to plant more of his flags on American golf courses. Done
[02:11:58] those, too. So what do you think the
[02:12:01] chances are of doing more Trump flags?
[02:12:05] We've done them before. For him. That would be a trade deal
[02:12:09] whole in one. Karen Pauls, CBC News, Winnipeg.
[02:12:16] This is the brand new US Port of Entry facility at the Gordie
[02:12:21] Howe International Bridge, paid for entirely by Canada as
[02:12:26] part of the $6.4 billion construction costs for the
[02:12:30] bridge. It's massive, 400, 000 square feet. It sits on
[02:12:34] nearly 170 acres of land for trade and travel. We are the
[02:12:39] largest northern border port.
[02:12:43] US Customs and Border Protection invited the CBC and
[02:12:46] a handful of other news outlets to tour the facility. As you go
[02:12:50] up to the bridge, we got a behind the scenes look
[02:12:54] at how the US enforces their northern border
[02:12:58] from the sky to the water.
[02:13:02] And there's lots of water. The Detroit sector covers 1388
[02:13:07] kilometers of the border, all of it on the water.
[02:13:12] This is part of daily patrols performed by US Customs and
[02:13:16] Border Protection here along the Detroit River as well as in
[02:13:19] the Great Lakes. They're looking for pleasure crafts
[02:13:22] that are operating suspiciously. This part there we go from the
[02:13:26] mouth up here back down to the bridge was one of the top
[02:13:29] smuggling routes in all the United States where we saw how
[02:13:32] many votes today.
[02:13:34] And every boat could be a smuggler unless we stop every
[02:13:37] single boat. So you have to use intelligence in partnerships to
[02:13:41] be able to secure this area up here. Canada's very bad abuser.
[02:13:45] When U.S. President Donald Trump first slapped tariffs on
[02:13:49] Canada, he cited the country's
[02:13:50] inability to prevent drugs and human traffickers from pouring
[02:13:54] across the border into the US says justification,
[02:13:57] calling it a national emergency.
[02:14:02] But the reality on the ground in Michigan is a lot more
[02:14:05] complicated than that. No, it's really not that big of a
[02:14:08] problem for inbound. Yeah, a lot of the stuff that we
[02:14:11] actually give, we get a lot of it going
[02:14:13] outbound. And when you say outbound,
[02:14:15] you mean going from the US into Canada
[02:14:20] and the same with guns.
[02:14:23] The guns are gonna be mainly coming from here to Canada.
[02:14:26] Well, not exactly the wrong turns. OK.
[02:14:29] So you get a lot of people that are actually making wrong turns
[02:14:33] that are actually on turning onto the bridge and turning
[02:14:36] into the tunnel. And
[02:14:39] vehicle searches actually result in finding of weapons.
[02:14:43] While some Americans may be accidentally bringing weapons
[02:14:48] across, there is also a robust illegal
[02:14:51] trade. In 2024, nearly 90% of guns recovered in
[02:14:55] crimes in Ontario were traced back to the US. This border
[02:14:59] expert says both countries pose threats to each other. Firearms
[02:15:05] for sure, but also the United States is
[02:15:08] the the
[02:15:09] in between the, the middle, the the middle ground for drugs
[02:15:13] coming up into our country from Mexico and from South America
[02:15:17] going South. The threat that we pose is actually the people we
[02:15:22] let in on temporary status.
[02:15:25] While authorities on both sides of the border look to curb
[02:15:29] illegal activity, it's not a major concern for
[02:15:32] many people in Detroit.
[02:15:35] No, I've lived in Detroit my whole
[02:15:37] life. I think Canada is rather friendly. When I was younger,
[02:15:41] we go over to Canada all the time. It was like a little
[02:15:44] getaway. As long as you guys keep your side clean and we
[02:15:48] keep ours clean, we're good. I love it. It's
[02:15:50] unfortunate that the two countries are going through
[02:15:54] what they're going through right now. Hopefully the
[02:15:57] politicians can get their heads together and, and,
[02:16:00] and fix it because they've been a good neighbor.
[02:16:05] Despite the political tensions, U.S. officials say the working
[02:16:09] relationship with their Canadian counterparts remains
[02:16:12] unchanged. Locally. We still have great partnerships with
[02:16:16] those agencies right across the the water. For now,
[02:16:19] those partnerships continue to bridge the political divide.
[02:16:23] Security on both sides of the border depends on it.
[02:20:43] I don't feel I owe
[02:20:46] people anything. If anything, I'm out of answers and to have
[02:20:50] my children back to me. Malaya Brokes Murray makes no
[02:20:54] apologies for staying silent. She hasn't talked publicly
[02:20:57] since the weekend her two children, Jack Sullivan,
[02:21:01] who was four at the time, and Lily, who was six,
[02:21:04] went missing from their home in Lansdowne,
[02:21:07] Nova Scotia. She says she was advised by the RCMP not to talk.
[02:21:11] I just did whatever they told me to do because I didn't want
[02:21:16] it
[02:21:17] advertise the case in any way. Brooks Murray says she heard
[02:21:20] Lily and Jack playing in their bedroom the morning they
[02:21:24] disappeared on May 2nd, 2025. Seeing Willie's face pop
[02:21:27] in the bedroom. You laid eyes on Lily that morning? Yeah,
[02:21:32] And you heard Jack. Yeah. Then later that morning,
[02:21:36] nothing. At 10:01 AM, Brooks Marie called 911. Police
[02:21:40] descended on their home and property,
[02:21:42] and search crews combed the surrounding woods. The
[02:21:46] following day, Brooks Murray left the area,
[02:21:49] and she says she has never returned. The police had said
[02:21:53] that we should go and told my family privately to Take Me Out
[02:21:57] of there that day. The relationship between Brooks
[02:22:01] Murray and the Children's
[02:22:03] father, Daniel Martel, came to an end,
[02:22:05] a point she declined to talk about along with the
[02:22:08] environment inside the home.
[02:22:11] Brooks Murray says even though she hasn't been in the
[02:22:14] spotlight, she has been working with
[02:22:17] police behind the scenes. She says from her interactions with
[02:22:20] RCMP that she believes she and her family are not considered
[02:22:24] suspects. Did you have anything to do with the disappearance of
[02:22:28] Jack and Lily? No.
[02:22:30] What do you think happened to them?
[02:22:33] The only thing I can assume is someone took them,
[02:22:36] but for what reason I don't know.
[02:22:39] RCMP have always maintained this was not an abduction and
[02:22:43] no suspects have been named in the disappearance. I continue
[02:22:47] to get the same update
[02:22:49] over and over and I keep asking for new avenues and they keep
[02:22:54] saying we're working on it and I just don't feel like that's
[02:22:58] enough. RCMP declined an interview,
[02:23:01] saying the investigation into the disappearance of Lily and
[02:23:05] Jack Sullivan remains a priority for the Nova Scotia
[02:23:09] RCMP and many of the investigative steps being taken
[02:23:13] and the progress being made can't be shared publicly.
[02:23:17] Birthday cards that are unopened,
[02:23:20] paying for them for when they come home. Brooks Murray
[02:23:23] continues to buy her son and daughter gifts for every
[02:23:27] occasion, including birthdays and
[02:23:29] holidays, pairing new items with the old.
[02:23:32] At the end of the day, I know that I'm a good mom and
[02:23:35] I love my children very, very much.
[02:23:39] And, um,
[02:23:41] I'd give anything to just hold them. Right now.
[02:23:45] She feels Lily and Jack are still alive, and for now,
[02:23:50] she keeps waiting and hoping for answers. Angela McIver,
[02:23:54] CBC News, Brookfield, NS.
[02:23:59] Overtime it'll, it'll move, does a 360,
[02:24:01] but it's essentially the eyes of our system. It's perched
[02:24:04] atop a student dorm building on Burnaby Mountain. This AI
[02:24:08] camera is one of six newly installed around the region,
[02:24:11] constantly scanning the horizon for signs of smoke. Zooming in,
[02:24:15] zooming out of certain areas. And if it does send something,
[02:24:19] it's going to zoom in and analyze it. The camera spotted
[02:24:22] this recent wildfire in Metro Vancouver,
[02:24:25] alerting crews even before a 911 call is made,
[02:24:28] allowing them to respond
[02:24:29] more quickly. Firefighters have also installed 45 chemical
[02:24:33] sniffing ground sensors attached to trees deep in
[02:24:36] forested areas, like this one on the side of
[02:24:38] Burnaby Mountain. The new cameras and sensors are now
[02:24:41] being used in Kelowna and Vernon too. BC,
[02:24:44] leading the country in wildfire detection. Because of this
[02:24:47] impact, I can only say that this
[02:24:49] technology will save A life one day.
[02:24:52] This destructive fire season marks another Canadian first.
[02:24:55] Using this drone to carry out a controlled burn on an active
[02:24:59] wildfire. Hovering over the flames tearing through the
[02:25:02] Fraser Canyon. It drops many fire starters as part of a
[02:25:05] planned ignition. Crews have been testing the technology for
[02:25:08] years. Say they shed a happy tear to see it in action in
[02:25:11] real life. Those happy little moments are fleeting in in
[02:25:15] these types of wildfire seasons. It's not every day that you get
[02:25:18] to to to see something that that can help you in the future.
[02:25:22] We can start there
[02:25:23] gathering data on it. Meanwhile, inside this lab at UBC,
[02:25:26] researchers are training AI chat bots to help crews triage
[02:25:30] fires and prioritize locations using real time data based on
[02:25:34] current scenarios. Predictive modeling presents decision
[02:25:38] makers with various outcomes, weighing factors like
[02:25:41] evacuation impacts, structure loss and
[02:25:44] environmental damage. With what we're doing,
[02:25:46] they can see cost consequences. But he says they will never
[02:25:50] train artificial intelligence to decide which option is best
[02:25:54] because like many in the field point out,
[02:25:57] technology can never replace human intuition. Tanya Fletcher,
[02:26:02] CBC News, Vancouver.
[02:26:07] It's another summer in Saskatchewan full of
[02:26:10] destructive weather. Hail, flooding and even tornadoes
[02:26:14] have hit the Prairie province, and so far this year,
[02:26:17] six of those events are considered to be catastrophic.
[02:26:21] The latest numbers from just two of them showed the insured
[02:26:25] losses in Saskatchewan and Manitoba climbed above $840
[02:26:29] million, and that figure is expected to
[02:26:32] grow. This year sits in second for the most or the highest
[02:26:36] incurred
[02:26:38] insured loss for Saskatchewan, where last year is sitting in
[02:26:41] first. But again, we have 4 catastrophes unknown
[02:26:44] for this year. Not unknown, but we haven't produced the
[02:26:48] estimates on those yet. From wildfires last year to flooding
[02:26:52] this summer, one contractor in Prince Albert
[02:26:54] says there's so much destruction his business has
[02:26:58] doubled in size. We've talked in the office and we haven't
[02:27:01] seen storms like what we've seen
[02:27:05] since like the early 90s. That's echoed in the Southeast
[02:27:09] where tornado tore through in June. They say that it's cycles
[02:27:13] or whatever, but I've never seen this kind
[02:27:15] of extremes like the heat to the to the rain,
[02:27:18] bananas. These incidents have a real cost to all of us because
[02:27:22] when these destructive events happen and people file
[02:27:26] insurance claims were the ones who are likely to bear the cost.
[02:27:30] Is there a business they're going to recoup those losses
[02:27:33] And the one way they're going to do that is through higher
[02:27:37] premiums and, um,
[02:27:40] more restrictive coverage. Jason Thistlethwaite studies
[02:27:42] the insurance system in Canada and says things need to change.
[02:27:45] It's really clear that our current approach to managing
[02:27:48] climate risk is becoming increasingly expensive.
[02:27:51] The policy challenge is to shift away from repeatedly
[02:27:54] paying for the recovery of these disasters and towards
[02:27:57] measures that reduce the risk before the disaster occurs. But
[02:28:01] Thistlethwaite says that's not something we're good at. For
[02:28:04] every dollar we spend on recovery,
[02:28:06] we may only put a few cents towards risk reduction,
[02:28:09] which means we're stuck in a loop where even as weather gets
[02:28:12] more destructive, the cost of fixing it is only getting higher.

[02:28:22] Kernza has been growing for the last three summers here at the
[02:28:27] Herrington Research Station, part of a project across the
[02:28:31] Maritimes studying the potential of the wheat grass to
[02:28:35] grow here. Kernza is a perennial,
[02:28:37] so it comes back year after year,
[02:28:40] up to seven years or more after it has been planted on the East
[02:28:44] Coast. We do grass extremely well and really this is a what
[02:28:48] they call a dual purpose crop where you can actually take a
[02:28:53] cut of forage or, you know, grass or whatever,
[02:28:56] feed it to animals and and you can also harvest the grain.
[02:29:01] Mills says that as a perennial, Kernza can also save money on
[02:29:06] seeds, plowing and fertilizer.
[02:29:09] And it fits in really if if a potato farmer was looking to
[02:29:14] fill the gaps between the potato crops in the rotation.
[02:29:18] Kerns also has a deep root system,
[02:29:20] and because it's a perennial, it stays in the soil,
[02:29:24] which can prevent erosion. It ticks those boxes for keeping
[02:29:29] the soil covered, fixing carbon. But research has
[02:29:32] shown Kearns A doesn't have the kind of yields that many
[02:29:37] growers are looking for compared to traditional
[02:29:40] crops such as wheat and barley. You know,
[02:29:43] people have been working on it for just over 20 years now.
[02:29:47] It's not like the history that mankind has with wheat,
[02:29:51] which is about 8000 years. So we've got a long way to go.
[02:29:55] Kernza has attracted the attention of celebrities and
[02:29:59] chefs around the world, inspiring a Of Kernza products.
[02:30:03] Most of the interest so far has been South of the border. It is
[02:30:07] being used by a few artists and bakeries and things like that.
[02:30:11] It
[02:30:13] can be used to make whiskey and beer. It's just like some of
[02:30:16] these other grains, quinoa, you know, for example, it,
[02:30:19] it seemed to once everything got sorted, I mean, it,
[02:30:23] it found its way into the the food value chain. It's just
[02:30:27] another option that for a crop that does really well in PEI.
[02:30:31] Mills says they're going to keep growing. Kernza here at
[02:30:35] the research station to see how long it will keep coming back,
[02:30:39] with the hope that some Maritime growers will also
[02:30:43] decide
[02:30:44] to give it a try. Nancy Russell, CBC News, Harrington.
[02:30:52] Sweet corn season has arrived in Quebec and this year farmers
[02:30:55] fields are overflowing. So it was a little bit late getting
[02:30:58] started, but we're in the full swing of
[02:31:01] it now. This farmer says a chilly spring delayed crop
[02:31:04] development, but a recent burst of hot
[02:31:06] summer weather triggered a huge growth spurt. So we got six
[02:31:09] different varieties here and they all have different
[02:31:12] maturity dates, but this year they all came in
[02:31:15] at the same time. That sudden surge has overwhelmed store
[02:31:18] shelves and sent prices plunging. According to data
[02:31:21] from the Quebec
[02:31:23] Vegetable Growers Association, local corn prices plummeted by
[02:31:26] 23% in the last week on average. In one week just here at the
[02:31:31] Laplace Puskar, the price dropped by more than
[02:31:34] 50%. And though these deals are sweet as corn for consumers,
[02:31:38] demand from US buyers has also decreased,
[02:31:41] likely because crops have also been strong South of the border,
[02:31:45] says the growers association. When there's no shortages,
[02:31:49] usually we are, unfortunately, while we keep our vegetable
[02:31:53] at home. Despite slimmer margins on corn,
[02:31:56] this season has also been profitable for other types of
[02:31:59] vegetables, ensuring Quebec farmers still
[02:32:02] yield a profit. Our vegetable growers are really good to
[02:32:05] manage to manage financial risk. Even if they sell at a loss for
[02:32:09] one item, sometimes they can still be OK
[02:32:11] in the end of the season. Here at Quinn Farm,
[02:32:14] just outside Montreal, visitors can pick their own
[02:32:17] corn and people just can't get enough. We tasted it,
[02:32:20] it's really good. And then he asked me to try the other one,
[02:32:24] and it's even better. Basically, I'm gonna take half hour. Best
[02:32:28] corn around. The owner says the corn is so good,
[02:32:31] you can eat it raw. Try that in Quebec. Another wave of produce
[02:32:35] is on the way, with fresh broccoli,
[02:32:37] cantaloupe and local lettuce heading straight to store
[02:32:41] shelves. It's the right time to save on the groceries and buy
[02:32:45] local. For shoppers. The timing couldn't be better. Natalia
[02:32:48] Vexel, CBC News, Montreal.

[02:42:50] >> Deana: JEFF, MARCEL. THANK YOU BOTH VERY MUCH. THANK YOU BOTH VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR MAKING TIME THANK YOU FOR MAKING TIME FOR US ON A BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY
[02:42:54] FOR US ON A BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY NEAT IN AUGUST. NEAT IN AUGUST. I SO APPRECIATE
[02:45:05] And let's see if I can get up. At 60 years old,
[02:45:07] Andre Gonyer was healthy working for Canada Post and
[02:45:11] renovating homes. This is what we do together. Then he started
[02:45:15] experiencing flu like symptoms that just kept getting worse. I
[02:45:19] had completely lost my ability to balance. My limbs were kind
[02:45:24] of really I felt like Gumby
[02:45:27] really dragged all and going down bouncing off the wall and
[02:45:32] I told my wife something is seriously wrong. You bring me
[02:45:37] to the hospital. I was there for almost 8 months. It took
[02:45:41] some time before he was finally diagnosed with West Nile virus
[02:45:46] and it nearly killed him. I lost like 70 lbs in about a
[02:45:50] month in the hospital because I was paralyzed. I couldn't eat,
[02:45:55] I couldn't swallow. I
[02:45:58] my hearing was gone, my eyesight and my eyelids
[02:46:01] wouldn't clothes. My GI system was completely shut down. Today,
[02:46:05] he deals with paralysis, memory loss,
[02:46:08] and has difficulty forming and communicating his thoughts. My
[02:46:12] wife, my friends, my family, like everybody,
[02:46:15] they have to treat me differently, right?
[02:46:18] I can't get dressed anymore. I people have to feed me. That's
[02:46:22] the kind of
[02:46:25] degrading
[02:46:27] that happened to my life. Carmen was an incredibly active
[02:46:32] woman. In fact,
[02:46:33] even though she was in her mid 60s,
[02:46:36] she didn't act like she was in her mid cessation. That's her.
[02:46:40] Lisa Applegate's sister Carmen died earlier this year after
[02:46:44] battling West Nile virus for six months. Before the virus,
[02:46:47] she says her sister was active, independent,
[02:46:50] healthy and full of life. I would tell you it was torturous
[02:46:54] watching my sister in that state. Over time,
[02:46:57] she started to come back alive, you know, again,
[02:47:00] her head was collapsed. Eventually her head was put
[02:47:04] put app, but it was little by little by
[02:47:06] little. But the outlook for her recovery was not promising. She
[02:47:10] made a decision that she didn't want to go on. She did not have
[02:47:14] made it was they took her off the respirator,
[02:47:16] they made her comfortable and she died peacefully after three
[02:47:20] days. Public Health Ontario says the peak months for
[02:47:23] reported cases of West Nile virus are August and September,
[02:47:27] so it's too early to compare this year's numbers. But last
[02:47:30] year there were 181 cases in Ontario,
[02:47:32] which was the highest number ever
[02:47:35] reported. Toronto was among the areas with the most cases.
[02:47:38] While there has been an increase over the last two
[02:47:41] years, looking over a longer time period of 10 years
[02:47:45] there, there hasn't been sort of a
[02:47:46] clear upward trend. So with rising temperatures,
[02:47:49] it will be anticipated that overtime there will be more
[02:47:52] mosquito activity and more cases of West Nile virus. Going
[02:47:55] forward, health officials recommend
[02:47:57] residents wear long sleeves, use bug spray and remove
[02:48:00] standing water where mosquitoes can breed. It's not hard to
[02:48:03] diagnose. We have the appropriate diagnostic tests in
[02:48:05] Canada. Usually they're done out of the provincial public
[02:48:08] health laboratories and that treatment is supportive. We
[02:48:11] don't have a dedicated antiviral drug to treat this.
[02:48:14] It's supportive
[02:48:16] there. And the third other point is that we don't have a
[02:48:18] vaccine for this. She didn't know the risks that she was
[02:48:22] taking. I didn't know the risks. And when I talked to people
[02:48:25] about this, they're flabbergasted. They
[02:48:28] have no idea that there is West Nile in the city. But if that's
[02:48:32] just one person
[02:48:33] listens and it saves them from having the grief that we've had
[02:48:37] to go. We've lost an incredible woman and she had a huge
[02:48:40] community. Do you want to take this yourself? Yeah,
[02:48:43] just put it on. Through intense physio,
[02:48:46] Gagnier has come a long way from when medical staff
[02:48:49] suggested he be placed in long term care. But he also still
[02:48:52] has a challenging journey ahead. He says at times,
[02:48:55] the medical system has failed him. He's been denied various
[02:48:58] rehab programs and has paid thousands of dollars out of
[02:49:02] pocket to help with his recovery. He hopes
[02:49:04] that changes. And I hope that the medical world also learned
[02:49:09] that not to abandoned us and say, well,
[02:49:12] we don't know how to treat you. There's no treatment. There is
[02:49:16] a treatment and the treatment is get get the patient as
[02:49:20] quickly as possible into a physio program. I want to make
[02:49:24] sure that
[02:49:26] people have hope.
[02:49:28] Do you get it?
[02:49:30] If you come through without
[02:49:32] dying, there's a way that you will
[02:49:36] recover. Talia Ricci, CBC News Toronto
[02:49:41] gives you. Do you see? Teresa Janowski looks back on
[02:49:45] an event honoring her mother, Colleen Titanic,
[02:49:48] in early July. The 70 year old is terminally ill with cancer
[02:49:52] and they were celebrating her life. She, you can see
[02:49:56] she's got colour to her, she's happy,
[02:50:00] you know her friends are there and her loved ones. This photo
[02:50:03] on her phone is from a gathering on August 3rd. The
[02:50:06] next day, Janowski says her mother was
[02:50:08] struggling to walk and go about daily life independently. She
[02:50:11] called an ambulance and her mother was taken to hospital.
[02:50:15] And that was not an easy call to make because I knew
[02:50:19] in in the state that she was in and the condition that the odds
[02:50:23] of her coming home
[02:50:25] were probably not well. Chernosky says when they got to
[02:50:28] the ER at the Health Sciences Centre,
[02:50:30] it was crowded and chaotic. There's cops there. There are
[02:50:33] people who are going through withdrawals that are spinning
[02:50:37] at nurses, kicking, screaming, punching walls. She says the
[02:50:40] worst part was the 20 hour wait her mother experienced before
[02:50:44] seeing a doctor in a hallway and on a Gurney. Are they
[02:50:47] taking care of her? You know, is she OK?
[02:50:50] You know, and obviously not all those
[02:50:52] things were going through my head. Chernosky says her mother
[02:50:56] wasn't given a bed or seen by a doctor until after she called
[02:50:59] the office of Manitoba's health minister. Her mother was later
[02:51:02] transferred to palliative care at Riverview Health Centre. Had
[02:51:05] I not pushed and pushed and pushed and pushed,
[02:51:08] I can guarantee you my mom would would have still been in
[02:51:11] that hallway and who knows, she could have passed. Health
[02:51:14] Minister Uzoma Asegura addressed wait times during an
[02:51:17] unrelated news conference on Friday. We would love for these
[02:51:20] challenges get fixed much more quickly. We would all love to see those
[02:51:24] wait times address much faster, but the reality of it is we did
[02:51:28] not get to a place where those wait times were high overnight,
[02:51:31] and we're not going to get out of it quickly either. Still,
[02:51:35] Janowsky says the situation is unacceptable. Now,
[02:51:38] she's focused on making sure her mother's days ahead are
[02:51:41] full of love and comfort. Gavin Axelrod, CBC News, Winnipeg.
[03:00:31] That is Typhoon Dolphin pounding China's East Coast.
[03:00:35] You're looking at Shanghai, where the storm is bringing
[03:00:39] heavy rain and strong winds. It's also causing a massive
[03:00:43] disruption at airports, forcing nearly 1 000,
[03:00:46] 000 people to relocate to safe areas.
[03:00:49] Laura Westbrook is in Hong Kong for us this morning. Laura,
[03:00:53] this storm has so many people on the move and so many
[03:00:56] disruptions. 1 000, 000 people tell us what's being
[03:00:59] done.
