[00:22:20] I can't really explain it, but something inside is telling
[00:22:25] me this is my time.
[00:22:27] There's no waiting for tomorrow, no such thing. I've got to show
[00:22:32] everyone how great I am. There's a place in history
[00:22:36] waiting for me.
[00:22:39] You don't know who I am.
[00:22:43] Just watch the Diamond League. Watch all season on CBC and CBC
[00:22:48] Jail.

[00:35:15] we've got the news you want your way. So where does that
[00:35:19] leave things with real time updates on major events as they
[00:35:22] happen? What's the reaction been?
[00:35:24] CBC News keeps you connected. A potential attack forwarded.
[00:35:28] Whether it's local, national or around the world,
[00:35:31] turn to CBC News.
[00:45:24] Power and politics, the scale of the crisis and chaos and a day like this. We gotta get to the power panel
[00:45:28] early. Experts and party insiders break it all down.
[00:45:31] This is a shift in the Liberal position. And then the Tories
[00:45:34] are just left to say, well, you're not moving fast and
[00:45:36] making sense of our world. Conditions have gotten pretty
[00:45:39] bad and they look like they're gonna get worse. Can't now walk
[00:45:42] that back because governing is a lot harder than campaigning.
[00:45:45] He's a drag on his own party, extremely difficult choices.
[00:45:48] The Power Panel on power and politics with David Cochrane, weekdays on CBC News.
[00:57:36] Hi there, Canada.
[00:57:37] Hi Siri,
[00:57:40] How are you holding up?
[00:57:45] It's been difficult to say the least.
[00:57:49] I intend to resign as party leader, as Prime Minister.
[00:57:54] The funny, not so funny thing about the
[00:57:57] world right now
[00:57:59] is the thing that can consume your thoughts
[00:58:02] is the thing you maybe didn't see coming.
[00:58:06] My favorite word? Tariff
[00:58:09] is going to be cracking down. Minimum 10% tariff on all
[00:58:13] imports. Some contracts are already getting cancelled.
[00:58:16] Facing a potential 25 or even 50% tariff on steel exports.
[00:58:19] We're already hearing about layoffs. Feeling the financial
[00:58:23] pain of Canada's 25% counter tariffs. He believes that
[00:58:26] Canadians would benefit greatly from becoming the 51st state
[00:58:29] when our sovereignty is threatened.
[00:58:32] You do what you can. He is trying to break us. So you have
[00:58:36] questions. How should Canadians be preparing for that next trip?
[00:58:40] What is your plan? How seriously are you taking
[00:58:43] this threat of 100% tariffs on foreign made films?
[00:58:46] A lot of questions. How is Hamilton bracing for tariff
[00:58:49] impact? When we talk about counter
[00:58:51] terrorists, do those affect you? How much does it cost to be
[00:58:55] patriotic when picking items at the grocery store?
[00:58:58] And while your elbows have been up, elbows up.
[00:59:03] For us, it's the sleeves rolled up.
[00:59:05] Because you need answers about your neighborhood, your world,
[00:59:10] your Canada,
[00:59:12] and what it means for all of us to say we are Canadian.
[00:59:20] Our journalists countrywide and all over the world are on the
[00:59:24] case.
[00:59:26] Do you think you're gonna have to close?
[00:59:29] I hate to think about that.
[00:59:37] I'm about 15 kilometers from the Russian border. Where are
[00:59:41] Canada's allies? Where are Canada's markets?
[00:59:44] What is this country's place on the planet?
[00:59:46] It's the uncertainty that's the
[00:59:49] this issue. What is the next thing to happen and what will
[00:59:53] it mean for all of us? We assume that it will be a
[00:59:57] difficult Rd. Canada. We got you and we are right there
[01:00:02] right beside you trying to make sense of it with you.

[01:06:14] YESTERDAY WE LEARNED THAT THEY ARE ADVISING TOURISTS NOT TO ARE ADVISING TOURISTS NOT TO COME TO THE OKANAGAN RIGHT NOW,
[01:06:17] COME TO THE OKANAGAN RIGHT NOW, THAT IT'S TOO MUCH RISK AND TOO THAT IT'S TOO MUCH RISK AND TOO MUCH TROUBLE TO KEEP THEM SAFE MUCH TROUBLE TO KEEP THEM SAFE AND AWAY FROM
[01:06:25] A crying baby pulled to safety from the rubble of a collapsed
[01:06:30] apartment building.
[01:06:33] Two women trapped on an upper floor of a Pereira office
[01:06:37] building brought to the ground, grateful to be alive.
[01:06:43] 2 minutes,
[01:06:46] 16 people trapped inside this aerial cable car cabin also
[01:06:51] rescued after 6 long hours. All of these scenes emerging since
[01:06:55] a powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake hit Colombia. But
[01:07:00] not everyone is so lucky. The death toll into the hundreds
[01:07:04] and climbing steadily since the quake first hit.
[01:07:10] This Red Cross worker says time is running out for thousands of
[01:07:14] missing people, but there may be air pockets or
[01:07:17] spaces allowing some to stay alive longer. The Colombian
[01:07:21] military is bringing medical equipment and emergency
[01:07:24] supplies, joining residents and canine
[01:07:27] search and rescue teams as they scramble through the rubble of
[01:07:31] leveled buildings, looking and listening for signs
[01:07:35] of life
[01:07:36] after part of this hospital in Cali collapsed. Some patients
[01:07:40] had to be transferred. Others are being treated on the street.
[01:07:46] Large areas around the earthquakes epicenter are
[01:07:50] heavily isolated, accessible only by airplane or
[01:07:53] boat through the jungle. We can get to the capital city,
[01:07:57] kiddo. But then to transport, food,
[01:07:59] assistance and other other items of need to those
[01:08:03] communities will take time and it's costly. The mayor of
[01:08:07] Manusela says many people are in shelters,
[01:08:10] many getting their homes assessed. Maria Campo and her
[01:08:13] mother stayed at her brothers house Monday night,
[01:08:17] afraid to return home. They've been checking with
[01:08:20] engineers who knows about it to see if the structure is
[01:08:25] affected, affected or not. Still,
[01:08:27] she feels lucky. We are alive, so we have a lot of things to
[01:08:31] be grateful right now.
[01:08:35] And as they watch the search and rescue efforts,
[01:08:38] they're praying for more moments like this one. There's
[01:08:42] people, there's life, he says.
[01:08:46] Karen Pauls, CBC News, Winnipeg.
[01:08:52] How are you feeling going to work? I feel,
[01:08:54] I always feel good. Canada, U.S. trade minister saying
[01:08:57] little heading into a meeting with his American counterpart,
[01:09:01] their third in three weeks, marking the end of an impasse
[01:09:04] and maybe momentum. It's quite possible that things will get
[01:09:08] tougher this week. That often happens near the end and that
[01:09:12] sometimes can be a good sign.
[01:09:15] About an hour later, Dominic LeBlanc emerged
[01:09:18] offering no details. We all have something to say when the
[01:09:21] moment is right. But sources tell CBC News Canadian and
[01:09:24] American officials are working on a proposal to present to U.S.
[01:09:28] President Donald Trump early next week,
[01:09:30] right before new 50% tariffs kick in on some $28 billion in
[01:09:34] Canadian exports. We won't know until we see what is actually
[01:09:37] been proposed, but I would be surprised if our
[01:09:40] Canadian federal government is prepared to make further
[01:09:43] concessions without getting something in return.
[01:09:46] Canada is looking for a comprehensive deal that would
[01:09:50] see the new tariffs thrown out and some sort of agreement on
[01:09:53] existing tariffs on steel, aluminum,
[01:09:55] auto and lumber. But the list of American grievances seems
[01:09:59] ever changing, with the Trump advisor now
[01:10:01] calling out scallops being fished in Canadian waters near
[01:10:05] the state of Maine. There were taken from the Georges Banks
[01:10:08] just about the amount we import from Canada driving up our
[01:10:12] trade deficit and we couldn't take scallops on our side of
[01:10:15] the Georges Banks
[01:10:17] this crazy stuff. But this expert says Canada has leverage,
[01:10:20] especially ahead of the falls US midterms. The election main
[01:10:24] messages are around affordability and really high
[01:10:28] energy costs here in the United States. I think that's why
[01:10:32] we're seeing a a good faith negotiation it appears going on
[01:10:36] with the US, but Canada has been here before.
[01:10:39] The two sides were reportedly close to a deal last fall
[01:10:42] before Trump called off trade talks entirely. Regardless of
[01:10:46] progress, it really does come back to him.
[01:10:49] So OK with the goal being early next week,
[01:10:52] Leblon is staying in Washington to keep up talks. Yeah. And so
[01:10:55] is Canada's trade negotiator, Jenna Charette. They and their
[01:10:59] teams have been trying to sort out technical details. We don't
[01:11:03] yet know when they're planning on going back to Canada or if

[01:13:19] U.S. President Donald Trump waved goodbye to the NATO
[01:13:22] summit last month, stepping into Air Force One.
[01:13:26] Then he reportedly slipped out another door,
[01:13:30] whisked into an airport food truck by the Secret Service,
[01:13:34] driven across the Ankara tarmac to a less conspicuous military
[01:13:38] plane. They clearly thought that something bad could be
[01:13:41] happening, and they thought the threat was
[01:13:44] imminent. White House reporters and staff boarding at the back
[01:13:48] had no idea he wasn't at the front.
[01:13:51] U.S. intelligence had discovered a credible Iranian
[01:13:55] plot to fire a missile at Trump's new Air Force One,
[01:13:58] says American media, citing senior officials. A jet
[01:14:02] that had just been adapted and rushed into service after being
[01:14:06] gifted to Trump by Qatar. As we have seen Iran and,
[01:14:09] and a number of other countries take on, you know,
[01:14:12] aerial drones and and a variety of other kind of munitions,
[01:14:16] the United States as a, as a nation is just facing
[01:14:20] simply more kinds of threats. So Trump had to play hide and
[01:14:24] seek as he flew over Europe.
[01:14:26] That Qatari gifted jet departed Ankara,
[01:14:29] first soaring northwest without the president,
[01:14:32] then the traditional Air Force One carrying his entourage.
[01:14:36] Though Trump wasn't at the front of that one either. He
[01:14:40] was tucked away in a third, more modest C32A,
[01:14:43] following a secret route. All three touchdown at Mildenhall
[01:14:48] Air Force Base near London. So we call those shell games. We
[01:14:52] do different movements, different looks to give us a
[01:14:56] slight advantage. Trump slipped
[01:14:58] back into the old Air Force One to be seen exiting and walking
[01:15:02] to his new jet for the flight to the US,
[01:15:06] dying any immediate danger. But blasting Iran for wanting him
[01:15:10] dead. I haven't read all the time. I'm number one on their
[01:15:15] list. Sasha Petersik, CBC News, Toronto.

[01:23:43] Today's total eclipse of the sun will sweep across Iceland,
[01:23:46] Spain and Greenland. And we are taking you to Greenland where
[01:23:50] our next guest to Canadians join us. They are on the boat
[01:23:55] on a boat off the coast of Greenland. Jay and Judy
[01:23:59] Anderson have been chasing eclipses YouTube for over 4
[01:24:03] decades. Why Greenland this year
[01:24:07] hadn't been there before? You've been almost everywhere
[01:24:11] else in the world. How many eclipses is this for you?
[01:24:14] 2 now
[01:24:16] #26 in total eclipses. Wow, that is
[01:24:22] unbelievable. Now you've spent Jay,
[01:24:24] you've spent many years working as a meteorologist as the go to
[01:24:29] weather experts on eclipses. What happens when you have to
[01:24:33] make a last minute run for clear skies? I mean,
[01:24:37] you can't on the boat, of course,
[01:24:39] but over the years was was it disappointing sometimes?
[01:24:45] Oh, yeah. So we've had our
[01:24:47] disappointments. And actually here we're kind of running to
[01:24:51] find clear skies right now on off the coast of Greenland.
[01:24:55] It's there's not too many openings in the clouds today.
[01:24:59] But I just heard a discussion on board ship that we're going
[01:25:03] to head in toward the land into a fiord because may have better
[01:25:08] weather inside the fjord, but it's a challenge and
[01:25:11] everybody is watching the sky. If it weren't
[01:25:15] or a plot of 30 to 60 humpback whales,
[01:25:18] we we might have been entirely focused on it.
[01:25:23] Wow. Well, I'm glad that whales provide
[01:25:26] some diversion. Can you tell me why you chase eclipses and for
[01:25:32] so long?
[01:25:35] I think it's because they're just so beautiful and they take
[01:25:40] you out of your place, your tiny world,
[01:25:43] and open things up for you. You feel connected to the whole
[01:25:47] world in the universe and the lighting is amazing. The
[01:25:51] friends you make are amazing and the places you go to see
[01:25:56] them are just
[01:25:58] just so fascinating. Yeah, they check a lot of boxes when
[01:26:02] if you like to travel and and you want to do it in
[01:26:07] exotic places in the world, you you end up in a grass shack
[01:26:12] in Madagascar on a cold night, or you might end up in a luxury
[01:26:17] hotel in India. It can be everywhere. The Shadow Falls
[01:26:21] gets you out of the house,
[01:26:24] out of the house in a in a big way.
[01:26:29] It doesn't get tiresome. You've seen it so many times.
[01:26:34] No,
[01:26:36] travel is a large part of it. And much of the destinations we
[01:26:40] pick are for the travel. Next year we'll be in Morocco. I
[01:26:44] haven't been there before. So it's just there's this long
[01:26:48] string of darkness that goes across the Earth and you just
[01:26:52] look at what's under it and say, haven't been there,
[01:26:56] let's go. And and that's the way it happens. Do you
[01:26:59] sometimes hook up with people who've never seen in the clips
[01:27:03] before? And what kind of emotion is
[01:27:06] that?
[01:27:08] That's fantastic, actually, because they have no
[01:27:11] expectation. They have sort of, they think they know what they
[01:27:15] might see, but they don't really know. And
[01:27:19] then they see it and you're right there and you can. It
[01:27:22] just builds your own excitement. And I have no problem getting
[01:27:27] excited. I have problems coming down. But it's just so much fun
[01:27:31] to be with people who are seeing things for the first
[01:27:35] time and just in awe.
[01:27:38] I think if you, sorry, I think you described it as
[01:27:42] being an Eclipse vampire, didn't you?
[01:27:45] Yeah, it was. That's my expression. I
[01:27:48] like to set up beside somebody who hasn't seen it before just
[01:27:52] to sort of feed off of their excitement and and joy. And
[01:27:56] although I certainly have my own,
[01:27:58] I tend to be a little more
[01:28:01] blaze about eclipses now after so many of them,
[01:28:05] looking at them more as a
[01:28:08] phenomenon rather than as an emotional experience. Not me.
[01:28:13] Phenomenon in what way?
[01:28:16] Well, I'm looking at the the shape of
[01:28:19] the corona and the chromosphere, but I also carry a little
[01:28:23] diffraction grating so I can look at the spectrum of colours
[01:28:28] in the eclipse and things like that. And that's a dimension
[01:28:33] that most people, you know, it uses up time. We have two
[01:28:37] minutes and 15 seconds at best. And boy,
[01:28:40] you can't spend a lot of time experimenting in 2 minutes and
[01:28:45] 15 seconds.
[01:28:47] Your first one was in, what, 79? I think What? You know what?
[01:28:51] How did you get this imagination going?
[01:28:53] What fascinated you so much that you wanted to do it every
[01:28:58] year?
[01:29:01] The fact that it went over us. It's going,
[01:29:04] it just went over with once you see one,
[01:29:07] it's kind of like like candy or the best apple you ever had.
[01:29:11] You need it again. And so you just go a little further and
[01:29:16] then you've seen two and you think, wow,
[01:29:18] that would be cool. And the next one,
[01:29:21] almost the the minute totality is over,
[01:29:24] people are starting to talk about the next one. You can't
[01:29:28] just eat just one,
[01:29:30] you know? You can't just eat 1.
[01:29:33] It must be the community too. You know it, it's,
[01:29:36] it's so rare that we can experience something joyful and
[01:29:41] wondrous, isn't it?
[01:29:45] It is we, we have 90 people with our
[01:29:49] group on this boat. We probably know half of them.
[01:29:56] Wow. And some of them we know very well. So Eclipse Chasing
[01:30:00] is not only a a world adventure, it's a people adventure in a
[01:30:05] way. It's so nice to arrive at a place and have good friends,
[01:30:09] you know, not just acquaintances,
[01:30:12] but good friends to travel along with you.
[01:30:16] That's amazing. Well, I hope the clouds clear.
[01:30:22] So do we.
[01:30:25] Fingers crossed. Yeah,
[01:30:27] You can see what it is behind us. So, yeah, it's socked in,
[01:30:31] isn't it? Well, as you say, it's the experience. Jay and
[01:30:35] Judy Anderson, thanks so much for joining us
[01:30:38] on board a ship in Greenland. Appreciate it.
[01:30:42] You're welcome.
[01:32:45] Your search master alone
[01:32:47] A difficile Montreal's police chief says he vows to make
[01:32:50] things right as the community confronts him over the alleged
[01:32:54] actions of 16 of his officers. Confidence in police marred by
[01:32:58] the ongoing investigation
[01:33:02] outside City Hall, frustration and anger from
[01:33:05] those who couldn't get in. Others expressed some hope.
[01:33:09] We're happy to see that something is being done.
[01:33:12] Although it took other police for this to happen,
[01:33:16] having the opportunity to talk about it,
[01:33:18] I think this is a positive change for the future.
[01:33:22] According to Hado Canada sources,
[01:33:24] the officers were accused of random stops based solely on
[01:33:28] ethnicity and cutting off dreadlocks, then taking them
[01:33:32] as trophies. The claims were first made public back in June
[01:33:36] after fellow officers made complaints. The news explosive
[01:33:40] to some, including the mayor. Many
[01:33:42] Montrealers have lost confidence and it is upon us to
[01:33:45] make sure that we are working with the SVM to rebuild that
[01:33:49] trust. But for some community organizers,
[01:33:52] the allegations aren't a surprise. And they say action
[01:33:59] we've known this situation that exists for years,
[01:34:02] we will lift it. We don't want to go back and, you know,
[01:34:05] rehash these things. We want solutions. And when we talk
[01:34:08] about solution, we have to talk about something
[01:34:11] future oriented, something concrete.
[01:34:15] The police chief saying that's exactly what this public
[01:34:18] meeting was about, to speak directly with community members.
[01:34:22] And Sarah, there are calls for actions. So
[01:34:24] what are people asking for? Well,
[01:34:27] the police chief says there are a number of measures already in
[01:34:31] place, collaboration with community
[01:34:33] organizations, continued sensitivity training.
[01:34:36] He said it was important to move forward with what he said
[01:34:40] was transparency and humility. But that was really put to the
[01:34:44] test at this meeting where few answers were given and people
[01:34:48] felt they really had little time to speak.
[01:34:52] Sarah Levitt in Montreal tonight. Thank you.
[01:34:57] Evan, walk us through what we know so
[01:34:58] far about this case. We don't know anything about the nature
[01:35:01] of the threat or exactly how it was communicated,
[01:35:04] but it was received by the US Consulate in Halifax late
[01:35:07] Sunday afternoon. Police identified A suspect,
[01:35:10] 54 year old Ali Asakura, and just after 8:00 on Monday
[01:35:13] morning, they found a car belonging to
[01:35:15] him in a downtown parking garage that appeared to contain
[01:35:18] a propane tank and containers of a flammable liquid and that
[01:35:22] led Halifax police to shut down several streets around Halifax
[01:35:25] Harbor. That car was later determined not to pose a threat to public safety,
[01:35:29] but as Accurate has now made an initial appearance in
[01:35:32] provincial court on charges of uttering threats and public
[01:35:35] mischief. The Crown, though, didn't want to go any further
[01:35:38] yet. The Crown requested an adjournment under 516 of the
[01:35:42] Criminal Code. And that just gives the police more time to
[01:35:45] complete that investigation and to see if there's going to be
[01:35:48] more charges to be laid now. In Corda,
[01:35:51] Zachary laid out a series of complaints through an
[01:35:54] interpreter, among them that his family had
[01:35:56] been victims of discrimination. Now,
[01:35:58] there have been shooting attacks on the US consulate in
[01:36:02] Toronto and allegations that Iran linked groups might have
[01:36:05] paid guns for hire to carry those out. But there's no
[01:36:08] suggestion this case might be
[01:36:10] connected, right? Right. There's no indication of
[01:36:12] any connection in Halifax, for example. There's also no
[01:36:15] evidence of gunfire or firearm seized. No charges related to
[01:36:19] bomb making or explosives either. Also,
[01:36:21] the Halifax prosecutor told the court he hadn't decided whether
[01:36:24] he would oppose bail in this case. And normally,
[01:36:27] if there were a national security element to a case like
[01:36:30] this, you would expect pretty
[01:36:31] automatic romantic custody, which is what we saw in Toronto.
[01:36:34] All right, Evan, thanks so much. Thanks.
[01:36:39] Ottawa police are continuing to investigate after shots were
[01:36:42] fired here at this Manotick Mall on Monday morning. The
[01:36:45] incident has residents thinking about their safety. I think
[01:36:49] Niantic's a great place to live and I think it's going to
[01:36:52] continue to be safe and we all just keep our eyes open a
[01:36:56] little bit more. Police were called to this bank around
[01:36:59] 10:30 AM. Investigators say a seller arranged to meet a
[01:37:03] potential buyer on Facebook Marketplace. The male allegedly
[01:37:06] pointed a firearm and tried to rob the seller.
[01:37:09] Two shots were fired but nobody was struck. Youth offender was
[01:37:13] taken into custody by a security guard,
[01:37:15] an off duty police officer and the seller. He sustained minor
[01:37:19] injuries. It's a growing concern. It's it's pretty
[01:37:22] consistent with us for the last couple of years. We get,
[01:37:25] you know, multiple reports weekly,
[01:37:27] monthly involving Facebook marketplace,
[01:37:29] Kijiji robberies. Ottawa police recommend using one of their
[01:37:33] official secure locations. There are 5 around the city.
[01:37:36] Police say these have cameras and are more secure than other
[01:37:40] public spots. People forever reason put down their guard with Facebook
[01:37:44] robberies, Facebook marketplace purchases.
[01:37:46] You know, you're not gonna invite a
[01:37:48] stranger in off the road, bring them to your house and
[01:37:51] basically open up the safety of your house to someone you don't
[01:37:55] know. And people, we are seeing people doing that
[01:37:57] for these. So that's why we really encourage people not to
[01:38:00] allow people into their houses and do it in a safe location.
[01:38:04] In Manotick, residents were happy to see
[01:38:06] more police around after the shooting. It's probably just to
[01:38:09] show us that there's presence of
[01:38:11] based in Manotick, which as I was speaking to
[01:38:14] another person in the parking lot,
[01:38:16] we don't often see police officers circulating in Ottawa
[01:38:19] or in Mantika should say. So that was a little unusual for
[01:38:23] me to see. I just saw I was coming from the bank. I saw two
[01:38:27] police cars. And of course then I don't know if this is going
[01:38:30] to be a regular thing the, the police on the horses,
[01:38:33] but it's very nice to see. Never used to see that before
[01:38:37] all the police presence. But I'm glad to see you. I'm a
[01:38:40] resident now for 28 years or so, so
[01:38:42] anything is changing with the volume of people and such and
[01:38:46] we are seeing more incidences that we are not used to in
[01:38:50] magnetic. What's that like for you?
[01:38:52] It says a long time resident. It's disconcerning honestly. We
[01:38:56] liked our little village the way it was and now it is
[01:39:00] changing. Magnetic businesses and community groups are
[01:39:03] planning to meet with police in October to further discuss
[01:39:07] public safety.

[01:41:44] Throughout this year's wildfires, NBC,
[01:41:46] CBC News has been covering powerful,
[01:41:49] urgent and often highly emotional stories of those
[01:41:53] affected by tragedy. It can often be a difficult experience
[01:41:57] for reporters, having to capture moments of
[01:42:00] human trauma and suffering. To give us some insight into how
[01:42:04] the explosive fires are affecting residents across the
[01:42:08] province is Ben Nelms, a photojournalist here at CBC
[01:42:12] who recently came back
[01:42:14] from the summer land area where we know there is a large
[01:42:30] differently. I tend to look at it as knowing what not to take
[01:42:34] a photo of. I find that's easier,
[01:42:36] especially when you cover wildlife or wildfires and
[01:42:40] traumatic events can be very overwhelming. And there's a lot
[01:42:44] going on and it's very easy just to stop and
[01:42:47] sort of just look around and you kind of get into a hypnotic
[01:42:51] state. I tend to try and focus by just looking for that human
[01:42:54] element. That human element is so important for
[01:42:57] photojournalism, and it's really what transforms
[01:43:00] simple documentation into something that's enduring and
[01:43:13] possible to the the people in the photograph. People is
[01:43:16] really what drives stories
[01:43:18] and and pictures without people or are just postcards and I'm
[01:43:21] not here to make postcards. I tend to be attracted to human
[01:43:25] interaction and and how people are affected by wildfires. So
[01:43:29] not just showing the smoke and the flames,
[01:43:31] but showing how this is affecting people in communities.
[01:43:35] And you have spent some time near Summerland where we have a
[01:43:38] a very large wildfire that has been quite dynamic,
[01:43:41] lots of evacuation orders, thousands of residents being
[01:43:58] took quite early on, on Saturday morning. I got
[01:44:01] there quite early into summer land. And that's very important
[01:44:04] in, in this business. It's that you
[01:44:06] have to be there when everything's happening. You
[01:44:09] can't be late. And if you're late,
[01:44:11] you're not going to be able to get close enough. This photo
[01:44:15] was taken on a Ridge that I found that was safe,
[01:44:18] had a good exit plan
[01:44:19] is in. In situations like this, you always need to be thinking
[01:44:23] about safety, but you're also there to do a
[01:44:25] job. You're also there to show the public what's going on and
[01:44:29] show them things that they cannot see. This was Ridge in
[01:44:32] Summerland where the fire was coming down and there was local
[01:44:35] fire crews and BC wildfire crews trying to contain that so
[01:44:56] it doesn't only just take pictures for me. And it also
[01:44:59] helps me sort of shield from those moments and,
[01:45:02] and focus on things that, you know,
[01:45:04] sort of take my mind away from being in the moment too much
[01:45:08] because it's I'm a very empathetic person. I'm very
[01:45:11] sensitive. And I find that walking that that line between
[01:45:14] documenting and also being very empathetic to the subjects is,
[01:45:18] is very important. So I use that as a tool
[01:45:20] to do that. So here we have a photo of a young girl on a
[01:45:23] scooter, obviously with the mask,
[01:45:25] I'm assuming because of the smoke. Hmm. Yeah,
[01:45:28] because of the smoke. And this is just a sense of place that
[01:45:31] I'm trying to convey to the audience. We're all aware or
[01:45:34] people that go to Penticton know of this Peach mostly
[01:45:37] because it's, you know, right on the boardwalk and and
[01:45:40] right on the the the lake. In this time, I'm showing people,
[01:45:43] you know, the unexpected and sort of how
[01:45:45] people go on with their daily lives,
[01:45:47] even dealing with these fires that are just kilometers away.
[01:45:51] And finally, let's bring up your last photo
[01:45:53] here. This is one that really, really touched my heart. You
[01:45:57] know, we see the anguish. We see the
[01:45:59] pain in this gentlemen's face and surrounded by goats. Give
[01:46:02] us some context on this. Yeah, Well,
[01:46:04] I think the reason that the audience resonates,
[01:46:07] people resonate with this photo is because it tells a story in
[01:46:11] one image, which is, you know, like a reporter tries to tell
[01:46:14] us the story in one line. The lead. I'm trying to tell the
[01:46:18] story in one single frame. You know, the smoke filled air,
[01:46:21] the emotion with the evacuees and, and the animals that are really
[01:46:25] caught up in the middle of it all. It's it's very powerful to
[01:46:35] the evacuation centre in Penticton where you saw both
[01:46:38] animals and humans, animals, trailers of horses and, and,
[01:46:42] and you know, the people that own this
[01:46:44] livestock and, and that is their goal of
[01:46:46] trying to save them because these wildfires affect much
[01:49:04] with their personal finances. Consumer insolvency rates are
[01:49:08] up. According to the latest numbers from the Office of the
[01:49:12] Superintendent of Bankruptcy, more than 37,
[01:49:14] 000 Canadians filed for insolvency in the first quarter
[01:49:18] of 2026. Compared at the same time period last year,
[01:49:21] insolvencies are now up 8.5%.
[01:49:23] So I want to get more analysis on all of this with Blair
[01:49:26] Manton. He is president of a Sands and Associates,
[01:49:28] the debt relief firm and largest network of licensed
[01:49:31] insolvency trustees in British Columbia and they help people
[01:49:34] and small businesses with government qualified debt
[01:49:44] are going to be listening to with some interest because I
[01:49:47] mean, well, you tell me, what does this tell us about
[01:49:50] how Canadians are or what the state of Canadians pocketbooks
[01:49:53] are right now? The fact that
[01:49:54] we're seeing this rise, well, I'm so thrilled to be with you
[01:49:57] today because there's so much shame and stigma about being in
[01:50:00] debt. And a lot of people feel like they're alone. They've
[01:50:03] made some bad decisions. They really suffer alone and in
[01:50:05] silence, often for far too long. But I
[01:50:07] think people need to know this is a very widespread problem
[01:50:10] right now, you know, going up 8% nationally,
[01:50:12] even higher than that in BC. What I'm seeing day-to-day is
[01:50:15] the consumer is suffering like never before. And you know,
[01:50:18] the main driver of what I'm seeing is cost of living. So
[01:50:20] especially in the Lower Mainland here,
[01:50:22] folks are spending so much of their income on rent
[01:50:25] that there's a small gap in the budget every month that's often
[01:50:28] filled by credit. And eventually that credit can
[01:50:30] snowball to a point where it's out of control. Can you talk to
[01:50:33] me about insolvency versus bankruptcy? Like,
[01:50:34] what does this actually mean if somebody is finding them in a
[01:50:37] situation where they are insolvent? Yeah,
[01:50:39] I'm so happy we can kind of unpack that a little bit
[01:50:42] because sometimes people just read a headline. I think
[01:50:44] bankruptcies are through the roof. It's not that case at all.
[01:50:47] The vast majority of people, sometimes 9 and out of 10
[01:50:49] people in some provinces, certainly within BC,
[01:50:51] they're not filing for bankruptcy at all. They're doing what's called consumer proposal.
[01:50:55] So they're both remedies when you find yourself in solvent.
[01:50:58] Insolvent means you have more depth than you're able to pay. OK, that's just the term. Just
[01:51:02] because you're insolvent doesn't mean that you've done a
[01:51:04] bankruptcy or proposal. But the numbers we're talking about
[01:51:07] means that you have taken a positive step to deal with your
[01:51:09] debt. Most people know when you file a bankruptcy,
[01:51:11] you're throwing your arms up saying I can't do anything,
[01:51:14] I can't pay the debt back, I need relief. What people
[01:51:16] don't always know about is a consumer proposal where you
[01:51:18] make a deal with your creditors. You say, hey, I could go bankrupt, you might end up with nothing
[01:51:22] back. Let's make a deal where I'm gonna pay 0 interest because the interest at 20 or 30% is what
[01:51:26] it really drives people, you know, crazy knowing you make payments every month,
[01:51:30] the debt doesn't go down. So a proposal brings the debt,
[01:51:32] the interest down to zero and then you pay back what you can
[01:51:35] afford. Often it's about $0.30 on the dollar or something like
[01:51:38] that. And people have no idea these options exist. So they
[01:51:40] often suffer, maybe do things they shouldn't
[01:51:42] do to try to get out of debt. And they need to know more that
[01:51:45] there are really good regulated options that can help them move
[01:51:48] forward. And if somebody is watching and says, you know,
[01:51:50] I've been having trouble paying my bills, does that mean they're insolvent?
[01:51:54] At what point do they know that this is something that you know
[01:51:56] they should? Your advice here, I think anyone that feels like
[01:51:59] they have a debt problem, it's worth having a conversation with a professional to just know
[01:52:03] what's out there. Sometimes there's a small budgetary
[01:52:06] adjustment they can make. Sometimes people are really on
[01:52:08] the verge of doing something. They could really hurt them
[01:52:10] financially. I see people cashing in RRSP's because
[01:52:13] they're told by a creditor, sometimes a collection agent,
[01:52:15] I'm coming to get those RSP's, you better cash them in or I'm
[01:52:18] going to take them anyway. They're federally protected
[01:52:20] asset. No one can ever force you to cash in your retirement.
[01:52:23] But if you do that without knowing the rules around it,
[01:52:25] there's nothing that can be done. So I think people need to know there's good
[01:52:29] options. You can get all the information that you need. And the government created these really good options,
[01:52:33] like a proposal or a bankruptcy to help people in tough
[01:52:35] situations. That's exactly what we're seeing now,
[01:52:37] a lot of people in really tough situations. Right. OK. Well,
[01:52:40] let me talk about that a little bit. I mean,
[01:52:42] what does the data say about the current state of the
[01:52:44] Canadian economy? You say that you are seeing
[01:52:46] people who are struggling with the cost of living. Yeah, well,
[01:52:49] absolutely. And we served our client base for the last 15
[01:52:51] years and every year up until last year. The number one
[01:52:53] reason why people said they were in trouble is they blamed
[01:52:56] themselves. They said, you know, mismanagement. I overextended myself too much
[01:53:00] credit the last two years. Now people have said the number one
[01:53:02] reason is cost of living. So I see day in,
[01:53:05] day out in our office as someone is earning 3035 hundred
[01:53:08] a month after taxes, their rent is now 2025 hundred.
[01:53:10] So you can imagine your rent should be about a third of your
[01:53:13] income, not 50% or 2/3. As soon as it's
[01:53:15] in that position, you've lost all flexibility. So
[01:53:18] if something happens like a job loss, income interruption,
[01:53:21] maybe a sickness, you know, there's no emergency fund,
[01:53:24] there's no safety net. You know, people really have to rely on
[01:53:27] credit and then after they're out of that tough time,
[01:53:30] if the credit needs to be paid and at 20% interest compounding
[01:53:33] every month, it can be really tough to get
[01:53:35] out of people who do, you know, make that insolvency process or
[01:53:38] take that step toward it. What are some of the fears that they
[01:53:41] talk about? What are they afraid of? Yeah,
[01:53:43] everyone's afraid, obviously that everyones gonna
[01:53:45] know, First off, and it's not a public thing. You know, if there were newspapers that
[01:53:49] publish every insolvency, there be nothing else in the
[01:53:52] newspaper. There's that many. There's, you know, 120,
[01:53:54] 000 or so per year in Canada. So it's a very private process
[01:53:57] for the most part. A lot of times people are worried
[01:53:59] they're never going to recover from an insolvency.
[01:54:02] Everyone says your credit is destroyed for the rest of your
[01:54:05] life. Complete lie. The longest anything ever gonna be negative
[01:54:07] on your credit is for six years and a proposal, for example,
[01:54:10] if you do that, you haven't filed A bankruptcy.
[01:54:12] You can say no to that question. Have you ever filed bankruptcy
[01:54:15] for the rest of your life? And the proposal is going to
[01:54:18] clear off your credit a year after you pay it off. So it's
[01:54:21] not a life sentence by any means. So the vast majority of
[01:54:23] people I see if we sit down with them and game out two
[01:54:26] scenarios. 1 is to keep doing what you're doing. Keep making
[01:54:28] those minimum payments. You'll be paying off even 5 or $6000 of debt for decades or
[01:54:32] we say, let's do a proposal. Your credit is going to take a temporary set back, but my gosh,
[01:54:36] you'll be out of debt. You can save some money. You can get
[01:54:39] ready for that mortgage in the future that you're going towards, which you're never able to save
[01:54:42] money if you just got this debt burden that you're just rolling
[01:54:45] over each month. Blairmont and president of Sands and
[01:54:52] Canada has a plan to lower grocery prices,
[01:54:54] and it involves spending big on food terminals. But what are
[01:54:57] they and can they lower your grocery bill?
[01:54:59] Right now we're at the Ontario Food Terminal in Etobicoke,
[01:55:02] the largest food terminal in Canada. Food terminals are
[01:55:05] basically wholesale markets where fresh produce gets bought
[01:55:08] and sold in bulk. Farmers and food producers show up every
[01:55:11] morning to sell to places like brochures,
[01:55:13] restaurants and hospitals. The Ontario Food Terminal says an
[01:55:17] average of £5.6 million of products, mostly fruits,
[01:55:19] vegetables, sometimes flowers, are distributed
[01:55:22] year daily. That's roughly the weight of 175 fully loaded
[01:55:25] school buses. Last month, the federal government
[01:55:28] announced a national food security strategy that commits
[01:55:31] to spending $3.2 billion over a decade to give consumers more
[01:55:35] choice and produce more in Canada. 1 billion of it is
[01:55:38] going towards a Food Link fund. That money will go towards
[01:55:42] expanding the Ontario Food Terminal,
[01:55:44] building 2 new food terminals elsewhere in Canada and growing
[01:55:48] or launching around 10 smaller food hubs. So why are all of a
[01:55:51] sudden spending so much on food terminals? The government's argument is
[01:55:55] that there isn't enough competition in the grocery
[01:55:58] sector. Right now we have a grocery oligopoly. There are 5
[01:56:01] big grocery chains, Loblaws, Sobeys, Metro,
[01:56:03] Walmart and Costco that make up about 75% of sales. Those major
[01:56:07] grocers don't need to rely on food terminals. Many have their
[01:56:10] own private supply chains to buy from. Ontario independent
[01:56:13] grocers don't have that. They can either buy from the five
[01:56:16] big chains or go to the food terminal here in Toronto. The
[01:56:20] government's logic is the more food terminals, the more competition
[01:56:23] among producers and farmers, in theory making it cheaper for
[01:56:26] small grocers to buy the produce they need and pass
[01:56:29] savings along to consumers. Little Harvest Market is an
[01:56:32] independent grocer in Toronto. There are no stranger to the
[01:56:35] Ontario Food Terminal. We always look for the Quebec
[01:56:38] strawberries. There's limited stock,
[01:56:40] so we have to go and like fight for it. We asked them about the
[01:56:43] Ontario Food Terminal expansions. Will that help your
[01:56:46] business? I believe so. Expanding the
[01:56:48] food terminal means that there will be more space for
[01:56:50] suppliers, maybe more farmers can come in and that will give us a greater
[01:56:54] selection and we may be able to negotiate better pricing. What
[01:56:58] does the food terminal offer you that going to your
[01:57:01] competitors supply chains don't? We have greater access to
[01:57:04] variety. We can choose the freshest. We taste them,
[01:57:07] we smell them, we look at them and check the
[01:57:09] quality. Is it also cheaper for you?
[01:57:11] It depends on the time of the year. In the summer when a
[01:57:15] produce, Canadian produce is abundant,
[01:57:17] then yes, it can be very cheap. In the
[01:57:19] winter is when I think we all know that lettuce can go up to
[01:57:22] like 10 bucks and that's the biggest difference.
[01:57:25] It is not consistent, but I do think that the
[01:57:28] increase in infrastructure bringing in more competition
[01:57:31] will help with stabilizing prices year round. So what does
[01:57:34] this mean for sellers? I think that there's a good
[01:57:37] chance that it becomes more competitive and more
[01:57:40] potentially more difficult for our business. But I still
[01:57:43] continue to believe that if more Canadians are eating more
[01:57:46] produce that we all benefit, You know what's going on with
[01:57:49] the US right now. I think we gotta rely more on our Canadian
[01:57:53] farmers that we can, you know, grow stuff all year,
[01:57:56] you know, that we don't need to states
[01:57:58] anymore that we can rely on Canada here. It's still unclear
[01:58:02] the exact changes that the Ontario Food Terminal expansion
[01:58:05] will include, but some are hoping it can mean
[01:58:08] better infrastructure. I imagine being here when it's
[01:58:11] -20 outside, then some customers stay inside.
[01:58:14] Or if we would have a facility for the farmer,
[01:58:17] then the customers I'm hoping would be coming to us since
[01:58:20] we're not standing outside with -20 But can these food
[01:58:23] terminals actually lower your grocery bill? To say
[01:58:26] beyond reasonable doubt that prices will drop is is close to
[01:58:30] impossible. This food researcher says grocery prices
[01:58:33] are affected by a bunch of factors like climate,
[01:58:36] seasonality, packaging on farm costs,
[01:58:38] transportation, and even currency. But creating
[01:58:41] food terminals could reduce price volatility. That's when
[01:58:44] prices go up and down for a particular product. You see,
[01:58:47] the food terminal is, is a marketplace. It allows for
[01:58:51] exchanges to kill between supply and demand. So you
[01:58:54] increase chances for exchanges to occur. When you do that,
[01:58:57] you
[01:58:58] price competition, and when competition goes up,
[01:59:01] prices tend to stabilize. Not always go down,
[01:59:05] but they tend to stabilize overtime. CBC News Toronto.

[02:07:00] not everyone is so lucky. The death toll into the hundreds
[02:07:04] and climbing steadily since the quake first hit.
[02:07:10] This Red Cross worker says time is running out for thousands of
[02:07:14] missing people, but there may be air pockets or
[02:07:17] spaces allowing some to stay alive longer. The Colombian

[02:08:27] she feels lucky. We are alive, so we have a lot of things to

[02:08:35] And as they watch the search and rescue efforts,
[02:08:38] they're praying for more moments like this one. There's

[02:08:46] Karen Pauls, CBC News, Winnipeg.
[02:08:52] How are you feeling going to work? I feel,
[02:08:54] I always feel good. Canada, U.S. trade minister saying
[02:08:57] little heading into a meeting with his American counterpart,
[02:09:01] their third in three weeks, marking the end of an impasse
[02:09:04] and maybe momentum. It's quite possible that things will get
[02:09:08] tougher this week. That often happens near the end and that
[02:09:12] sometimes can be a good sign.
[02:09:15] About an hour later, Dominic LeBlanc emerged
[02:09:18] offering no details. We all have something to say when the
[02:09:21] moment is right. But sources tell CBC News Canadian and
[02:09:24] American officials are working on a proposal to present to U.S.
[02:09:28] President Donald Trump early next week,
[02:09:30] right before new 50% tariffs kick in on some $28 billion in
[02:09:34] Canadian exports. We won't know until we see what is actually
[02:09:37] been proposed, but I would be surprised if our
[02:09:40] Canadian federal government is prepared to make further
[02:09:43] concessions without getting something in return.
[02:09:46] Canada is looking for a comprehensive deal that would
[02:09:50] see the new tariffs thrown out and some sort of agreement on
[02:09:53] existing tariffs on steel, aluminum,
[02:09:55] auto and lumber. But the list of American grievances seems
[02:09:59] ever changing, with the Trump advisor now
[02:10:01] calling out scallops being fished in Canadian waters near
[02:10:05] the state of Maine. There were taken from the Georges Banks
[02:10:08] just about the amount we import from Canada driving up our
[02:10:12] trade deficit and we couldn't take scallops on our side of
[02:10:15] the Georges Banks
[02:10:17] this crazy stuff. But this expert says Canada has leverage,
[02:10:20] especially ahead of the falls US midterms. The election main
[02:10:24] messages are around affordability and really high
[02:10:28] energy costs here in the United States. I think that's why
[02:10:32] we're seeing a a good faith negotiation it appears going on
[02:10:36] with the US, but Canada has been here before.
[02:10:39] The two sides were reportedly close to a deal last fall
[02:10:42] before Trump called off trade talks entirely. Regardless of
[02:10:46] progress, it really does come back to him.
[02:10:49] So OK with the goal being early next week,
[02:10:52] Leblon is staying in Washington to keep up talks. Yeah. And so
[02:10:55] is Canada's trade negotiator, Jenna Charette. They and their
[02:10:59] teams have been trying to sort out technical details. We don't
[02:11:03] yet know when they're planning on going back to Canada or if

[02:13:19] U.S. President Donald Trump waved goodbye to the NATO
[02:13:22] summit last month, stepping into Air Force One.
[02:13:26] Then he reportedly slipped out another door,
[02:13:30] whisked into an airport food truck by the Secret Service,
[02:13:34] driven across the Ankara tarmac to a less conspicuous military
[02:13:38] plane. They clearly thought that something bad could be
[02:13:41] happening, and they thought the threat was
[02:13:44] imminent. White House reporters and staff boarding at the back
[02:13:48] had no idea he wasn't at the front.
[02:13:51] U.S. intelligence had discovered a credible Iranian
[02:13:55] plot to fire a missile at Trump's new Air Force One,
[02:13:58] says American media, citing senior officials. A jet
[02:14:02] that had just been adapted and rushed into service after being
[02:14:06] gifted to Trump by Qatar. As we have seen Iran and,
[02:14:09] and a number of other countries take on, you know,
[02:14:12] aerial drones and and a variety of other kind of munitions,
[02:14:16] the United States as a, as a nation is just facing
[02:14:20] simply more kinds of threats. So Trump had to play hide and
[02:14:24] seek as he flew over Europe.
[02:14:26] That Qatari gifted jet departed Ankara,
[02:14:29] first soaring northwest without the president,
[02:14:32] then the traditional Air Force One carrying his entourage.
[02:14:36] Though Trump wasn't at the front of that one either. He
[02:14:40] was tucked away in a third, more modest C32A,
[02:14:43] following a secret route. All three touchdown at Mildenhall
[02:14:48] Air Force Base near London. So we call those shell games. We
[02:14:52] do different movements, different looks to give us a
[02:14:56] slight advantage. Trump slipped
[02:14:58] back into the old Air Force One to be seen exiting and walking
[02:15:02] to his new jet for the flight to the US,
[02:15:06] dying any immediate danger. But blasting Iran for wanting him
[02:15:10] dead. I haven't read all the time. I'm number one on their
[02:15:15] list. Sasha Petersik, CBC News, Toronto.

[02:23:43] Today's total eclipse of the sun will sweep across Iceland,
[02:23:46] Spain and Greenland. And we are taking you to Greenland where
[02:23:50] our next guest to Canadians join us. They are on the boat
[02:23:55] on a boat off the coast of Greenland. Jay and Judy
[02:23:59] Anderson have been chasing eclipses YouTube for over 4
[02:24:03] decades. Why Greenland this year
[02:24:07] hadn't been there before? You've been almost everywhere
[02:24:11] else in the world. How many eclipses is this for you?
[02:24:14] 2 now
[02:24:16] #26 in total eclipses. Wow, that is
[02:24:24] you've spent many years working as a meteorologist as the go to
[02:24:29] weather experts on eclipses. What happens when you have to
[02:24:37] you can't on the boat, of course,
[02:24:39] but over the years was was it disappointing sometimes?
[02:24:45] Oh, yeah. So we've had our
[02:24:47] disappointments. And actually here we're kind of running to
[02:24:51] find clear skies right now on off the coast of Greenland.
[02:24:55] It's there's not too many openings in the clouds today.
[02:24:59] But I just heard a discussion on board ship that we're going
[02:25:03] to head in toward the land into a fiord because may have better
[02:25:08] weather inside the fjord, but it's a challenge and
[02:25:12] everybody is watching the sky. If it weren't
[02:25:15] or a plot of 30 to 60 humpback whales,
[02:25:32] so long?
[02:25:35] I think it's because they're just so beautiful and they take
[02:25:40] you out of your place, your tiny world,
[02:25:43] and open things up for you. You feel connected to the whole
[02:25:47] world in the universe and the lighting is amazing. The
[02:25:51] friends you make are amazing and the places you go to see
[02:25:56] them are just
[02:25:58] just so fascinating. Yeah, they check a lot of boxes when
[02:26:02] if you like to travel and and you want to do it in
[02:26:07] exotic places in the world, you you end up in a grass shack
[02:26:12] in Madagascar on a cold night, or you might end up in a luxury
[02:26:17] hotel in India. It can be everywhere. The Shadow Falls
[02:26:21] gets you out of the house,
[02:26:36] travel is a large part of it. And much of the destinations we
[02:26:40] pick are for the travel. Next year we'll be in Morocco. I
[02:26:44] haven't been there before. So it's just there's this long
[02:26:48] string of darkness that goes across the Earth and you just
[02:26:52] look at what's under it and say, haven't been there,
[02:26:56] let's go. And and that's the way it happens. Do you
[02:27:08] That's fantastic, actually, because they have no
[02:27:11] expectation. They have sort of, they think they know what they
[02:27:15] might see, but they don't really know. And
[02:27:19] then they see it and you're right there and you can. It
[02:27:22] just builds your own excitement. And I have no problem getting
[02:27:27] excited. I have problems coming down. But it's just so much fun
[02:27:31] to be with people who are seeing things for the first
[02:27:48] like to set up beside somebody who hasn't seen it before just
[02:27:52] to sort of feed off of their excitement and and joy. And
[02:27:56] although I certainly have my own,
[02:27:58] I tend to be a little more
[02:28:01] blaze about eclipses now after so many of them,
[02:28:05] looking at them more as a
[02:28:19] the corona and the chromosphere, but I also carry a little
[02:28:23] diffraction grating so I can look at the spectrum of colours
[02:28:28] in the eclipse and things like that. And that's a dimension
[02:28:33] that most people, you know, it uses up time. We have two
[02:28:37] minutes and 15 seconds at best. And boy,
[02:28:40] you can't spend a lot of time experimenting in 2 minutes and
[02:29:01] The fact that it went over us. It's going,
[02:29:04] it just went over with once you see one,
[02:29:07] it's kind of like like candy or the best apple you ever had.
[02:29:11] You need it again. And so you just go a little further and
[02:29:16] then you've seen two and you think, wow,
[02:29:18] that would be cool. And the next one,
[02:29:21] almost the the minute totality is over,
[02:29:24] people are starting to talk about the next one. You can't
[02:29:28] just eat just one,
[02:29:36] it's so rare that we can experience something joyful and
[02:29:41] wondrous, isn't it?
[02:29:45] It is we, we have 90 people with our
[02:29:49] group on this boat. We probably know half of them.
[02:29:56] Wow. And some of them we know very well. So Eclipse Chasing
[02:30:00] is not only a a world adventure, it's a people adventure in a
[02:30:05] way. It's so nice to arrive at a place and have good friends,
[02:30:09] you know, not just acquaintances,
[02:32:45] Your search master alone
[02:32:47] A difficile Montreal's police chief says he vows to make
[02:32:50] things right as the community confronts him over the alleged
[02:32:54] actions of 16 of his officers. Confidence in police marred by
[02:32:58] the ongoing investigation
[02:33:02] outside City Hall, frustration and anger from
[02:33:05] those who couldn't get in. Others expressed some hope.
[02:33:09] We're happy to see that something is being done.
[02:33:12] Although it took other police for this to happen,
[02:33:16] having the opportunity to talk about it,
[02:33:18] I think this is a positive change for the future.
[02:33:22] According to Hado Canada sources,
[02:33:24] the officers were accused of random stops based solely on
[02:33:28] ethnicity and cutting off dreadlocks, then taking them
[02:33:32] as trophies. The claims were first made public back in June
[02:33:36] after fellow officers made complaints. The news explosive
[02:33:40] to some, including the mayor. Many
[02:33:42] Montrealers have lost confidence and it is upon us to
[02:33:45] make sure that we are working with the SVM to rebuild that
[02:33:49] trust. But for some community organizers,
[02:33:52] the allegations aren't a surprise. And they say action
[02:33:56] is more important than words. People say, look,
[02:33:59] we've known this situation that exists for years,
[02:34:02] we will lift it. We don't want to go back and, you know,
[02:34:05] rehash these things. We want solutions. And when we talk
[02:34:09] about solution, we have to talk about something
[02:34:11] future oriented, something concrete.
[02:34:14] The police chief saying that's exactly what this public
[02:34:18] meeting was about, to speak directly with community members.
[02:34:22] And Sarah, there are calls for actions. So
[02:34:24] what are people asking for? Well,
[02:34:27] the police chief says there are a number of measures already in
[02:34:31] place, collaboration with community
[02:34:33] organizations, continued sensitivity training.
[02:34:36] He said it was important to move forward with what he said
[02:34:40] was transparency and humility. But that was really put to the
[02:34:44] test at this meeting where few answers were given and people
[02:34:48] felt they really had little time to speak.
[02:34:57] Evan, walk us through what we know so
[02:34:58] far about this case. We don't know anything about the nature
[02:35:01] of the threat or exactly how it was communicated,
[02:35:04] but it was received by the US Consulate in Halifax late
[02:35:07] Sunday afternoon. Police identified A suspect,
[02:35:10] 54 year old Ali Asakura, and just after 8:00 on Monday
[02:35:13] morning, they found a car belonging to
[02:35:15] him in a downtown parking garage that appeared to contain
[02:35:18] a propane tank and containers of a flammable liquid and that
[02:35:22] led Halifax police to shut down several streets around Halifax
[02:35:25] Harbor. That car was later determined not to pose a threat to public safety,
[02:35:29] but as Accurate has now made an initial appearance in
[02:35:32] provincial court on charges of uttering threats and public
[02:35:35] mischief. The Crown, though, didn't want to go any further
[02:35:38] yet. The Crown requested an adjournment under 516 of the
[02:35:42] Criminal Code. And that just gives the police more time to
[02:35:45] complete that investigation and to see if there's going to be
[02:35:48] more charges to be laid now. In Corda,
[02:35:51] Zachary laid out a series of complaints through an
[02:35:54] interpreter, among them that his family had
[02:35:56] been victims of discrimination. Now,
[02:35:58] there have been shooting attacks on the US consulate in
[02:36:02] Toronto and allegations that Iran linked groups might have
[02:36:05] paid guns for hire to carry those out. But there's no
[02:36:08] suggestion this case might be
[02:36:10] connected, right? Right. There's no indication of
[02:36:12] any connection in Halifax, for example. There's also no
[02:36:15] evidence of gunfire or firearm seized. No charges related to
[02:36:19] bomb making or explosives either. Also,
[02:36:21] the Halifax prosecutor told the court he hadn't decided whether
[02:36:24] he would oppose bail in this case. And normally,
[02:36:27] if there were a national security element to a case like
[02:36:30] this, you would expect pretty
[02:36:31] automatic romantic custody, which is what we saw in Toronto.
[02:36:39] Ottawa police are continuing to investigate after shots were
[02:36:42] fired here at this Manotick Mall on Monday morning. The
[02:36:45] incident has residents thinking about their safety. I think
[02:36:49] Niantic's a great place to live and I think it's going to
[02:36:52] continue to be safe and we all just keep our eyes open a
[02:36:56] little bit more. Police were called to this bank around
[02:36:59] 10:30 AM. Investigators say a seller arranged to meet a
[02:37:03] potential buyer on Facebook Marketplace. The male allegedly
[02:37:06] pointed a firearm and tried to rob the seller.
[02:37:09] Two shots were fired but nobody was struck. Youth offender was
[02:37:13] taken into custody by a security guard,
[02:37:15] an off duty police officer and the seller. He sustained minor
[02:37:19] injuries. It's a growing concern. It's it's pretty
[02:37:22] consistent with us for the last couple of years. We get,
[02:37:25] you know, multiple reports weekly,
[02:37:27] monthly involving Facebook marketplace,
[02:37:29] Kijiji robberies. Ottawa police recommend using one of their
[02:37:33] official secure locations. There are 5 around the city.
[02:37:36] Police say these have cameras and are more secure than other
[02:37:40] public spots. People forever reason put down their guard with Facebook
[02:37:44] robberies, Facebook marketplace purchases.
[02:37:46] You know, you're not gonna invite a
[02:37:48] stranger in off the road, bring them to your house and
[02:37:51] basically open up the safety of your house to someone you don't
[02:37:55] know. And people, we are seeing people doing that
[02:37:57] for these. So that's why we really encourage people not to
[02:38:01] allow people into their houses and do it in a safe location.
[02:38:04] In Manotick, residents were happy to see
[02:38:06] more police around after the shooting. It's probably just to
[02:38:09] show us that there's presence of
[02:38:11] based in Manotick, which as I was speaking to
[02:38:14] another person in the parking lot,
[02:38:16] we don't often see police officers circulating in Ottawa
[02:38:19] or in Mantika should say. So that was a little unusual for
[02:38:23] me to see. I just saw I was coming from the bank. I saw two
[02:38:26] police cars. And of course then I don't know if this is going
[02:38:30] to be a regular thing the, the police on the horses,
[02:38:33] but it's very nice to see. Never used to see that before
[02:38:37] all the police presence. But I'm glad to see you. I'm a
[02:38:40] resident now for 28 years or so, so
[02:38:42] anything is changing with the volume of people and such and
[02:38:46] we are seeing more incidences that we are not used to in
[02:38:50] magnetic. What's that like for you?
[02:38:52] It says a long time resident. It's disconcerning honestly. We
[02:38:56] liked our little village the way it was and now it is
[02:39:00] changing. Magnetic businesses and community groups are
[02:39:03] planning to meet with police in October to further discuss
[02:39:07] public safety.

[02:41:44] Throughout this year's wildfires, NBC,
[02:41:46] CBC News has been covering powerful,
[02:41:49] urgent and often highly emotional stories of those
[02:41:53] affected by tragedy. It can often be a difficult experience
[02:41:57] for reporters, having to capture moments of
[02:42:00] human trauma and suffering. To give us some insight into how
[02:42:04] the explosive fires are affecting residents across the
[02:42:08] province is Ben Nelms, a photojournalist here at CBC
[02:42:12] who recently came back
[02:42:14] from the summer land area where we know there is a large
[02:42:30] differently. I tend to look at it as knowing what not to take
[02:42:34] a photo of. I find that's easier,
[02:42:36] especially when you cover wildlife or wildfires and
[02:42:40] traumatic events can be very overwhelming. And there's a lot
[02:42:44] going on and it's very easy just to stop and
[02:42:47] sort of just look around and you kind of get into a hypnotic
[02:42:51] state. I tend to try and focus by just looking for that human
[02:42:54] element. That human element is so important for
[02:42:57] photojournalism, and it's really what transforms
[02:43:00] simple documentation into something that's enduring and
[02:43:13] possible to the the people in the photograph. People is
[02:43:16] really what drives stories
[02:43:18] and and pictures without people or are just postcards and I'm
[02:43:21] not here to make postcards. I tend to be attracted to human
[02:43:25] interaction and and how people are affected by wildfires. So
[02:43:29] not just showing the smoke and the flames,
[02:43:31] but showing how this is affecting people in communities.
[02:43:35] And you have spent some time near Summerland where we have a
[02:43:38] a very large wildfire that has been quite dynamic,
[02:43:41] lots of evacuation orders, thousands of residents being
[02:44:01] there quite early into summer land. And that's very important
[02:44:04] in, in this business. It's that you
[02:44:06] have to be there when everything's happening. You
[02:44:09] can't be late. And if you're late,
[02:44:11] you're not going to be able to get close enough. This photo
[02:44:15] was taken on a Ridge that I found that was safe,
[02:44:18] had a good exit plan
[02:44:19] is in. In situations like this, you always need to be thinking
[02:44:23] about safety, but you're also there to do a
[02:44:25] job. You're also there to show the public what's going on and
[02:44:29] show them things that they cannot see. This was Ridge in
[02:44:32] Summerland where the fire was coming down and there was local
[02:44:35] fire crews and BC wildfire crews trying to contain that so
[02:44:39] it doesn't hit the the homes. And they were quite successful
[02:44:56] it doesn't only just take pictures for me. And it also
[02:44:59] helps me sort of shield from those moments and,
[02:45:02] and focus on things that, you know,
[02:45:04] sort of take my mind away from being in the moment too much
[02:45:08] because it's I'm a very empathetic person. I'm very
[02:45:11] sensitive. And I find that walking that that line between
[02:45:14] documenting and also being very empathetic to the subjects is,
[02:45:18] is very important. So I use that as a tool
[02:45:20] to do that. So here we have a photo of a young girl on a
[02:45:23] scooter, obviously with the mask,
[02:45:25] I'm assuming because of the smoke. Hmm. Yeah,
[02:45:28] because of the smoke. And this is just a sense of place that
[02:45:31] I'm trying to convey to the audience. We're all aware or
[02:45:34] people that go to Penticton know of this Peach mostly
[02:45:37] because it's, you know, right on the boardwalk and and
[02:45:40] right on the the the lake. In this time, I'm showing people,
[02:45:43] you know, the unexpected and sort of how
[02:45:45] people go on with their daily lives,
[02:45:47] even dealing with these fires that are just kilometers away.
[02:45:51] And finally, let's bring up your last photo
[02:45:53] here. This is one that really, really touched my heart. You
[02:45:57] know, we see the anguish. We see the
[02:45:59] pain in this gentlemen's face and surrounded by goats. Give
[02:46:02] us some context on this. Yeah, Well,
[02:46:04] I think the reason that the audience resonates,
[02:46:07] people resonate with this photo is because it tells a story in
[02:46:11] one image, which is, you know, like a reporter tries to tell
[02:46:14] us the story in one line. The lead. I'm trying to tell the
[02:46:18] story in one single frame. You know, the smoke filled air,
[02:46:21] the emotion with the evacuees and, and the animals that are really
[02:46:25] caught up in the middle of it all. It's it's very powerful to
[02:46:28] see everyone come together. And this is just a moment that
[02:46:32] happened. And this was actually taken where this was outside
[02:46:35] the evacuation centre in Penticton where you saw both
[02:46:38] animals and humans, animals, trailers of horses and, and,
[02:46:42] and you know, the people that own this
[02:46:44] livestock and, and that is their goal of
[02:46:46] trying to save them because these wildfires affect much
[02:49:04] with their personal finances. Consumer insolvency rates are
[02:49:08] up. According to the latest numbers from the Office of the
[02:49:12] Superintendent of Bankruptcy, more than 37,
[02:49:14] 000 Canadians filed for insolvency in the first quarter
[02:49:18] of 2026. Compared at the same time period last year,
[02:49:21] insolvencies are now up 8.5%.
[02:49:23] So I want to get more analysis on all of this with Blair
[02:49:26] Manton. He is president of a Sands and Associates,
[02:49:28] the debt relief firm and largest network of licensed
[02:49:31] insolvency trustees in British Columbia and they help people
[02:49:34] and small businesses with government qualified debt
[02:49:42] people who are watching, you know,
[02:49:44] are going to be listening to with some interest because I
[02:49:47] mean, well, you tell me, what does this tell us about
[02:49:50] how Canadians are or what the state of Canadians pocketbooks
[02:49:53] are right now? The fact that
[02:49:54] we're seeing this rise, well, I'm so thrilled to be with you
[02:49:57] today because there's so much shame and stigma about being in
[02:50:00] debt. And a lot of people feel like they're alone. They've
[02:50:03] made some bad decisions. They really suffer alone and in
[02:50:05] silence, often for far too long. But I
[02:50:07] think people need to know this is a very widespread problem
[02:50:10] right now, you know, going up 8% nationally,
[02:50:12] even higher than that in BC. What I'm seeing day-to-day is
[02:50:15] the consumer is suffering like never before. And you know,
[02:50:18] the main driver of what I'm seeing is cost of living. So
[02:50:20] especially in the Lower Mainland here,
[02:50:22] folks are spending so much of their income on rent
[02:50:25] that there's a small gap in the budget every month that's often
[02:50:28] filled by credit. And eventually that credit can
[02:50:30] snowball to a point where it's out of control. Can you talk to
[02:50:33] me about insolvency versus bankruptcy? Like,
[02:50:34] what does this actually mean if somebody is finding them in a
[02:50:37] situation where they are insolvent? Yeah,
[02:50:39] I'm so happy we can kind of unpack that a little bit
[02:50:41] because sometimes people just read a headline. I think
[02:50:44] bankruptcies are through the roof. It's not that case at all.
[02:50:47] The vast majority of people, sometimes 9 and out of 10
[02:50:49] people in some provinces, certainly within BC,
[02:50:51] they're not filing for bankruptcy at all. They're doing what's called consumer proposal.
[02:50:55] So they're both remedies when you find yourself in solvent.
[02:50:58] Insolvent means you have more depth than you're able to pay. OK, that's just the term. Just
[02:51:02] because you're insolvent doesn't mean that you've done a
[02:51:04] bankruptcy or proposal. But the numbers we're talking about
[02:51:07] means that you have taken a positive step to deal with your
[02:51:09] debt. Most people know when you file a bankruptcy,
[02:51:11] you're throwing your arms up saying I can't do anything,
[02:51:14] I can't pay the debt back, I need relief. What people
[02:51:16] don't always know about is a consumer proposal where you
[02:51:18] make a deal with your creditors. You say, hey, I could go bankrupt, you might end up with nothing
[02:51:22] back. Let's make a deal where I'm gonna pay 0 interest because the interest at 20 or 30% is what
[02:51:26] it really drives people, you know, crazy knowing you make payments every month,
[02:51:30] the debt doesn't go down. So a proposal brings the debt,
[02:51:32] the interest down to zero and then you pay back what you can
[02:51:35] afford. Often it's about $0.30 on the dollar or something like
[02:51:38] that. And people have no idea these options exist. So they
[02:51:40] often suffer, maybe do things they shouldn't
[02:51:42] do to try to get out of debt. And they need to know more that
[02:51:45] there are really good regulated options that can help them move
[02:51:48] forward. And if somebody is watching and says, you know,
[02:51:50] I've been having trouble paying my bills, does that mean they're insolvent?
[02:51:54] At what point do they know that this is something that you know
[02:51:57] they should?
[02:52:08] the verge of doing something. They could really hurt them
[02:52:10] financially. I see people cashing in RRSP's because
[02:52:13] they're told by a creditor, sometimes a collection agent,
[02:52:15] I'm coming to get those RSP's, you better cash them in or I'm
[02:52:18] going to take them anyway. They're federally protected
[02:52:20] asset. No one can ever force you to cash in your retirement.
[02:52:23] But if you do that without knowing the rules around it,
[02:52:25] there's nothing that can be done. So I think people need to know there's good
[02:52:29] options. You can get all the information that you need. And the government created these really good options,
[02:52:33] like a proposal or a bankruptcy to help people in tough
[02:52:35] situations. That's exactly what we're seeing now,
[02:52:37] a lot of people in really tough situations. Right. OK. Well,
[02:52:40] let me talk about that a little bit. I mean,
[02:52:42] what does the data say about the current state of the
[02:52:44] Canadian economy? You say that you are seeing
[02:52:46] people who are struggling with the cost of living. Yeah, well,
[02:52:49] absolutely. And we served our client base for the last 15
[02:52:51] years and every year up until last year. The number one
[02:52:53] reason why people said they were in trouble is they blamed
[02:52:56] themselves. They said, you know, mismanagement. I overextended myself too much
[02:53:00] credit the last two years. Now people have said the number one
[02:53:02] reason is cost of living. So I see day in,
[02:53:05] day out in our office as someone is earning 3035 hundred
[02:53:08] a month after taxes, their rent is now 2025 hundred.
[02:53:10] So you can imagine your rent should be about a third of your
[02:53:13] income, not 50% or 2/3. As soon as it's
[02:53:15] in that position, you've lost all flexibility. So
[02:53:18] if something happens like a job loss, income interruption,
[02:53:21] maybe a sickness, you know, there's no emergency fund,
[02:53:24] there's no safety net. You know, people really have to rely on
[02:53:27] credit and then after they're out of that tough time,
[02:53:30] if the credit needs to be paid and at 20% interest compounding
[02:53:33] every month, it can be really tough to get
[02:53:35] out of people who do, you know, make that insolvency process or
[02:53:38] take that step toward it. What are some of the fears that they
[02:53:57] for the most part. A lot of times people are worried
[02:53:59] they're never going to recover from an insolvency.
[02:54:02] Everyone says your credit is destroyed for the rest of your
[02:54:05] life. Complete lie. The longest anything ever gonna be negative
[02:54:07] on your credit is for six years and a proposal, for example,
[02:54:10] if you do that, you haven't filed A bankruptcy.
[02:54:12] You can say no to that question. Have you ever filed bankruptcy
[02:54:15] for the rest of your life? And the proposal is going to
[02:54:18] clear off your credit a year after you pay it off. So it's
[02:54:21] not a life sentence by any means. So the vast majority of
[02:54:23] people I see if we sit down with them and game out two
[02:54:26] scenarios. 1 is to keep doing what you're doing. Keep making
[02:54:28] those minimum payments. You'll be paying off even 5 or $6000 of debt for decades or
[02:54:32] we say, let's do a proposal. Your credit is going to take a temporary set back, but my gosh,
[02:54:36] you'll be out of debt. You can save some money. You can get
[02:54:39] ready for that mortgage in the future that you're going towards, which you're never able to save
[02:54:42] money if you just got this debt burden that you're just rolling
[02:54:45] over each month. Blairmont and president of Sands and Associate, that's great advice. Thank you
[02:54:49] very much. My pleasure. Thank you. Yeah.
[02:54:59] Right now we're at the Ontario Food Terminal in Etobicoke,
[02:55:02] the largest food terminal in Canada. Food terminals are
[02:55:05] basically wholesale markets where fresh produce gets bought
[02:55:08] and sold in bulk. Farmers and food producers show up every
[02:55:11] morning to sell to places like brochures,
[02:55:13] restaurants and hospitals. The Ontario Food Terminal says an
[02:55:17] average of £5.6 million of products, mostly fruits,
[02:55:19] vegetables, sometimes flowers, are distributed
[02:55:22] year daily. That's roughly the weight of 175 fully loaded
[02:55:25] school buses. Last month, the federal government
[02:55:28] announced a national food security strategy that commits
[02:55:31] to spending $3.2 billion over a decade to give consumers more
[02:55:35] choice and produce more in Canada. 1 billion of it is
[02:55:38] going towards a Food Link fund. That money will go towards
[02:55:42] expanding the Ontario Food Terminal,
[02:55:44] building 2 new food terminals elsewhere in Canada and growing
[02:55:48] or launching around 10 smaller food hubs. So why are all of a
[02:55:51] sudden spending so much on food terminals? The government's argument is
[02:55:55] that there isn't enough competition in the grocery
[02:55:58] sector. Right now we have a grocery oligopoly. There are 5
[02:56:01] big grocery chains, Loblaws, Sobeys, Metro,
[02:56:03] Walmart and Costco that make up about 75% of sales. Those major
[02:56:07] grocers don't need to rely on food terminals. Many have their
[02:56:10] own private supply chains to buy from. Ontario independent
[02:56:13] grocers don't have that. They can either buy from the five
[02:56:16] big chains or go to the food terminal here in Toronto. The
[02:56:20] government's logic is the more food terminals, the more competition
[02:56:23] among producers and farmers, in theory making it cheaper for
[02:56:26] small grocers to buy the produce they need and pass
[02:56:29] savings along to consumers. Little Harvest Market is an
[02:56:32] independent grocer in Toronto. There are no stranger to the
[02:56:35] Ontario Food Terminal. We always look for the Quebec
[02:56:38] strawberries. There's limited stock,
[02:56:40] so we have to go and like fight for it. We asked them about the
[02:56:43] Ontario Food Terminal expansions. Will that help your
[02:56:46] business? I believe so. Expanding the
[02:56:48] food terminal means that there will be more space for
[02:56:50] suppliers, maybe more farmers can come in and that will give us a greater
[02:56:54] selection and we may be able to negotiate better pricing. What
[02:56:58] does the food terminal offer you that going to your
[02:57:01] competitors supply chains don't? We have greater access to
[02:57:04] variety. We can choose the freshest. We taste them,
[02:57:07] we smell them, we look at them and check the
[02:57:09] quality. Is it also cheaper for you?
[02:57:11] It depends on the time of the year. In the summer when a
[02:57:15] produce, Canadian produce is abundant,
[02:57:17] then yes, it can be very cheap. In the
[02:57:19] winter is when I think we all know that lettuce can go up to
[02:57:22] like 10 bucks and that's the biggest difference.
[02:57:25] It is not consistent, but I do think that the
[02:57:28] increase in infrastructure bringing in more competition
[02:57:31] will help with stabilizing prices year round. So what does
[02:57:34] this mean for sellers? I think that there's a good
[02:57:37] chance that it becomes more competitive and more
[02:57:40] potentially more difficult for our business. But I still
[02:57:43] continue to believe that if more Canadians are eating more
[02:57:46] produce that we all benefit, You know what's going on with
[02:57:49] the US right now. I think we gotta rely more on our Canadian
[02:57:53] farmers that we can, you know, grow stuff all year,
[02:57:56] you know, that we don't need to states
[02:57:58] anymore that we can rely on Canada here. It's still unclear
[02:58:02] the exact changes that the Ontario Food Terminal expansion
[02:58:05] will include, but some are hoping it can mean
[02:58:08] better infrastructure. I imagine being here when it's
[02:58:11] -20 outside, then some customers stay inside.
[02:58:14] Or if we would have a facility for the farmer,
[02:58:17] then the customers I'm hoping would be coming to us since
[02:58:20] we're not standing outside with -20 But can these food
[02:58:23] terminals actually lower your grocery bill? To say
[02:58:26] beyond reasonable doubt that prices will drop is is close to
[02:58:30] impossible. This food researcher says grocery prices
[02:58:33] are affected by a bunch of factors like climate,
[02:58:36] seasonality, packaging on farm costs,
[02:58:38] transportation, and even currency. But creating
[02:58:41] food terminals could reduce price volatility. That's when
[02:58:44] prices go up and down for a particular product. You see,
[02:58:47] the food terminal is, is a marketplace. It allows for
[02:58:51] exchanges to kill between supply and demand. So you
[02:58:54] increase chances for exchanges to occur. When you do that,
[02:58:57] you
[02:58:58] price competition, and when competition goes up,
[02:59:01] prices tend to stabilize. Not always go down,
[02:59:05] but they tend to stabilize overtime. CBC News Toronto.
