[00:22:22] I can't really explain it, but something inside is telling
[00:22:27] me this is my time.
[00:22:29] There's no waiting for tomorrow, no such thing. I've got to show
[00:22:34] everyone how great I am. There's a place in history
[00:22:38] waiting for me.
[00:22:41] You don't know who I am.
[00:22:45] Just watch the Diamond League. Watch all season on CBC and CBC
[00:22:50] Jail.
[00:41:57] Power and politics, the scale of the crisis and chaos and a day like this. We gotta get to the power panel
[00:42:01] early. Experts and party insiders break it all down.
[00:42:03] This is a shift in the Liberal position. And then the Tories
[00:42:06] are just left to say, well, you're not moving fast and
[00:42:09] making sense of our world. Conditions have gotten pretty
[00:42:12] bad and they look like they're gonna get worse. Can't now walk
[00:42:15] that back because governing is a lot harder than campaigning.
[00:42:18] He's a drag on his own party, extremely difficult choices.
[00:42:21] The Power Panel on power and politics with David Cochrane, weekdays on CBC News.
[00:56:22] The news doesn't sleep. We are here to help you hit the ground
[00:56:25] running. Your news, your weather,
[00:56:27] your morning. Good Morning Canada. CBC Morning Live with David.
[00:56:32] I can't really explain it, but something inside is telling
[00:56:36] me this is my time.
[00:56:39] There's no waiting for tomorrow, no such thing. I've got to show
[00:56:44] everyone how great I am. There's a place in history
[00:56:48] waiting for me.
[00:56:50] You don't know who I am.
[00:56:54] Just watch the Diamond League. Watch all season on CBC and CBC
[00:57:00] Jail.
[00:57:05] Hi there, Canada.
[00:57:06] Hi Siri,
[00:57:09] How are you holding up?
[00:57:13] It's been difficult to say the least.
[00:57:17] I intend to resign as party leader, as Prime Minister.
[00:57:23] The funny, not so funny thing about the
[00:57:26] world right now
[00:57:27] is the thing that can consume your thoughts
[00:57:31] is the thing you maybe didn't see coming.
[00:57:35] My favorite word? Tariff
[00:57:38] is going to be cracking down. Minimum 10% tariff on all
[00:57:41] imports. Some contracts are already getting cancelled.
[00:57:44] Facing a potential 25 or even 50% tariff on steel exports.
[00:57:48] We're already hearing about layoffs. Feeling the financial
[00:57:51] pain of Canada's 25% counter tariffs. He believes that
[00:57:54] Canadians would benefit greatly from becoming the 51st state
[00:57:58] when our sovereignty is threatened.
[00:58:01] You do what you can. He is trying to break us. So you have
[00:58:04] questions. How should Canadians be preparing for that next trip?
[00:58:08] What is your plan? How seriously are you taking
[00:58:11] this threat of 100% tariffs on foreign made films?
[00:58:14] A lot of questions. How is Hamilton bracing for tariff
[00:58:18] impact? When we talk about counter
[00:58:20] terrorists, do those affect you? How much does it cost to be
[00:58:24] patriotic when picking items at the grocery store?
[00:58:27] And while your elbows have been up, elbows up.
[00:58:32] For us, it's the sleeves rolled up.
[00:58:34] Because you need answers about your neighborhood, your world,
[00:58:38] your Canada,
[00:58:40] and what it means for all of us to say we are Canadian.
[00:58:49] Our journalists countrywide and all over the world are on the
[00:58:53] case.
[00:58:55] Do you think you're gonna have to close?
[00:58:57] I hate to think about that.
[00:59:06] I'm about 15 kilometers from the Russian border. Where are
[00:59:10] Canada's allies? Where are Canada's markets?
[00:59:12] What is this country's place on the planet?
[00:59:15] It's the uncertainty that's the
[00:59:17] this issue. What is the next thing to happen and what will
[00:59:22] it mean for all of us? We assume that it will be a
[00:59:26] difficult Rd. Canada. We got you and we are right there
[00:59:30] right beside you trying to make sense of it with you.
[00:59:47] Power and politics, the scale of the crisis and chaos and a day like this. We gotta get to the power panel
[00:59:51] early. Experts and party insiders break it all down.
[00:59:54] This is a shift in the Liberal position. And then the Tories
[00:59:57] are just left to say, well, you're not moving fast and
[00:59:59] making sense of our world. Conditions have gotten pretty
[01:00:02] bad and they look like they're gonna get worse. Can't now walk
[01:00:05] that back because governing is a lot harder than campaigning.
[01:00:08] He's a drag on his own party, extremely difficult choices.
[01:00:11] The Power Panel on power and politics with David Cochrane, weekdays on CBC News.
[01:00:30] Canada U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc met with U.S.
[01:00:32] Trade Representative Jameson Greer in Washington as pressure
[01:00:36] to get a new trade deal ratchets up even higher.
[01:00:41] He rejected any proposals by the US
[01:00:44] about that. LeBlanc keeping radio silence on a possible
[01:00:48] deadlock despite the looming deadline. New potentially
[01:00:52] devastating 50% US tariffs on a wide range of Canadian goods
[01:00:56] are just days from snapping into place. But at least one
[01:01:00] premier made it clear he doesn't want Ottawa to blink
[01:01:03] first. Evan Dyer joins us now from Ottawa. Evan,
[01:01:07] have we seen any signs of progress in these talks?
[01:01:10] Not really. Crystal, the Canadians in the US trade
[01:01:14] representative,
[01:01:15] Famous and Greer met for just under 2 hours this afternoon
[01:01:18] and he emerged with this message.
[01:01:20] We had good discussions today. We were cordial. They were
[01:01:24] detailed, the president, the Prime Minister,
[01:01:26] obviously they'll be given options and discussions,
[01:01:29] but I don't think there's anything to report right now.
[01:01:32] Is there a chance that there won't be?
[01:01:34] So it comes after we heard earlier this week that Ottawa
[01:01:38] rejected a proposal from Washington that lowered tariffs,
[01:01:41] but apparently not by enough. We did, however,
[01:01:44] hear from some premiers today. Yes,
[01:01:46] we heard from both Premier Ford of Ontario and Premier
[01:01:49] Frechette of Quebec stating pretty clearly
[01:01:51] that they want federal negotiators to hold the line.
[01:01:54] In the case of Frechette, we heard that supply management
[01:01:57] is a non negotiable for Quebec and that message has been
[01:01:59] communicated to Ottawa. And she also seemed to be looking past
[01:02:02] next Wednesday to a future where these threatened new
[01:02:05] tariffs are already in place and seeking assurances that the
[01:02:08] federal government would offer support to affected businesses
[01:02:11] and workers. And we saw federal finance ministers say that yes,
[01:02:14] the federal government will be there. He made those comments
[01:02:17] in Saguenay, Quebec, which is a region that's
[01:02:19] particularly vulnerable to tariffs because of its aluminum
[01:02:23] and forestry industries. We expect Dominic LeBlanc to brief
[01:02:26] his provincial counterparts on Friday. As for Ford,
[01:02:29] he suggested he'll hold the line on Ontario's boycott of US
[01:02:33] alcohol, saying he'll drop it only as
[01:02:35] part of a fair deal.
[01:02:37] I do not, I'm gonna emphasize, use alcohol as a bargaining
[01:02:40] chip during the negotiations. If we get a fair deal that will
[01:02:44] protect our steel sector, auto sector,
[01:02:46] our forestry sector, agriculture sector,
[01:02:49] manufacturing sector, then we'd be more than happy to
[01:02:52] bring booze back on the shelves only if we have a deal that's
[01:02:56] going to protect those sectors. So Ford added that pressure on
[01:03:00] the US was important, in his words. Kinda negotiates
[01:03:03] through strength, not weakness. And he's been
[01:03:05] very clear that he opposes any situation
[01:03:08] where the US keeps its tariffs on Canadian autos and Canadian
[01:03:12] carrier tariffs come off. Alright. That's Evan Dyer in
[01:03:15] Ottawa. Thanks so much. Thanks.
[01:03:19] They give us just a sliver more of the story of what happened
[01:03:23] on February 10th in the tiny, tight knit mountain town of
[01:03:26] Tumblr Ridge.
[01:03:27] A timeline of how police found the bodies of the 8 victims and
[01:03:31] of the shooter, 18 year old Jesse Van
[01:03:34] Rootselaar. The documents are heavily redacted. Strategic
[01:03:38] communication is happening where
[01:03:41] it is an RCMP choice, not a necessity or legal
[01:03:45] requirement to withhold a lot of the information right now,
[01:03:50] and that should be concerning to the public
[01:03:55] most concerned about the details of the firearms used.
[01:04:00] This is a big issue because there are concerns that have
[01:04:05] been raised about whether police action or inaction might
[01:04:10] have
[01:04:12] interfered with the shooters ability to follow through with
[01:04:16] the act at the school.
[01:04:18] We do have more details about the 911 calls that poured in
[01:04:22] that morning. First, a call about an SUV driving
[01:04:24] erratically away from the shooter's house,
[01:04:27] then multiple calls of shots fired inside the school.
[01:04:31] The documents give a timeline of officers arriving to the
[01:04:34] scene, hearing gunshots, going into the school,
[01:04:37] finding victims and ultimately the shooter dead with
[01:04:40] self-inflicted gunshot wounds. The documents say police had to
[01:04:43] hold while being shot at.
[01:04:46] They also mentioned the shooter went by multiple different last
[01:04:49] names and that some police officers thought there may have
[01:04:52] been 2 shooters for a time. But much is still uncertain as many
[01:04:55] pages are blacked out entirely. British Columbia has announced
[01:04:58] there will be a coroners inquest into the shootings,
[01:05:01] will examine issues like the shooters mental health and
[01:05:04] access to weapons, as well as the role artificial
[01:05:06] intelligence may have played in this case. And Michelle,
[01:05:09] let's talk a little bit about some of the details that we
[01:05:12] don't know yet.
[01:05:14] There's a lot that the section about the shooter social media
[01:05:17] accounts is redacted entirely. And while the documents show a
[01:05:21] police response timeline, all the timestamps are redacted.
[01:05:24] So we don't know details like how long passed between the
[01:05:27] police getting to the school and actually getting to the
[01:05:30] shooter. Michelle Allen in Vancouver, thank you.

[01:10:06] FARAGE IS AN MP AGAIN, THEY ARE RE-OPENING THAT INVESTIGATION
[01:10:26] Bank, this time in the village of
[01:10:28] Khusra, where militant settlers clashed
[01:10:31] with Israeli troops. After the settlers cut off access to
[01:10:34] three Palestinian homes,
[01:10:38] Green Rd. that leads to the house was blocked,
[01:10:40] says Ruqaiya Hasan. They dug up the road. They put rocks on it.
[01:10:44] No one is allowed to pass through it. And they cut off
[01:10:48] the electricity line. They cut off the water line from my from
[01:10:52] my house. And my neighbor. Louie Reedy,
[01:10:54] a Palestinian American, owns one of the homes that's
[01:10:57] under siege. He's been watching from Ohio,
[01:11:00] talking to his brother inside the house in Khusra where his
[01:11:04] food is running low.
[01:11:07] No one is helping him. And, and it just, you know,
[01:11:10] it's terrifying. Video from a surveillance camera mounted on
[01:11:14] Rudy's house until Israeli troops removed it shows
[01:11:17] soldiers mingling with settlers. Other video appears to show
[01:11:21] them praying together. The military initially took up
[01:11:24] positions in Khusra and ordered several Palestinian families
[01:11:28] out of their homes before reversing course and declaring
[01:11:32] they could stay. Officially, the IDF calls this siege
[01:11:35] illegal, reprehensible and unacceptable
[01:11:38] and says any IDF member involved will face disciplinary
[01:11:42] action. But human rights groups say previous incidents have
[01:11:46] shown those are empty words. In many of the videos of the
[01:11:49] attacks, you can see the settlers
[01:11:52] attacking while there are soldiers together with them
[01:11:55] either standing by and not doing anything or many times
[01:11:59] even participating in those attacks. This attack has
[01:12:03] prompted A sterner than usual response from Israel's closest
[01:12:07] ally, the United States.
[01:12:08] Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel,
[01:12:12] has called the attackers Israeli terrorists while
[01:12:15] insisting violence like this is the result of a very small
[01:12:20] minority who do great damage. Tom Perry, CBC News, Ottawa.
[01:12:27] In Germany, another anniversary marked In a
[01:12:30] country where remembrance runs deep.
[01:12:33] 65 years ago, people in Berlin woke up to
[01:12:37] find a barbed wire fence had been erected. Overnight,
[01:12:41] the Communist E cut off its people from fleeing to the
[01:12:46] democratic W, splitting the city into. At
[01:12:49] least 136 people died trying to cross. I'm afraid for our
[01:12:54] freedom. Hartmut Richter successfully escaped. He swam
[01:12:58] to the West in 1966. Then he helped 33 people escape too,
[01:13:03] by smuggling them in the trunk of his.
[01:13:06] So far, nobody could imagine that it
[01:13:08] would be a 28 years. Many Germans thought the wall would
[01:13:13] never come down until it did, nearly 3 decades later. It was
[01:13:17] in my hotel and I heard in West Berlin and I heard so much
[01:13:21] noise and I spent the whole night totally dazed with
[01:13:25] everybody else crying and hugging. Since Unifying,
[01:13:29] Germany has consistently advocated for the free movement
[01:13:33] of people taking in large numbers of immigrants and
[01:13:37] refugees.
[01:13:39] But that identity is now facing one of its biggest tests. The
[01:13:43] far right political party, the AFD Alternative for
[01:13:47] Deutschland, continues to gain support. It
[01:13:50] wants to severely restrict immigration. And the party
[01:13:54] could win power for the first time in a state election next
[01:13:58] month. What an irony, isn't it, that we talked about
[01:14:02] reunification now in Germany for decades and we really want
[01:14:06] to become one people again. And now we have a party that
[01:14:11] really splits Germany and have memories of the wall are
[01:14:14] everywhere in Berlin, even this cobblestone path that
[01:14:18] marks exactly where the wall cut through the entire city. A
[01:14:22] constant reminder of the scars of division as Germany faces
[01:14:26] down a new era of political polarization. Marina von
[01:14:30] Stackelberg, CBC News, Berlin.
[01:16:35] For this outdoor adventure company,
[01:16:37] business in the summer is usually brisk,
[01:16:40] but it has slowed to a crawl. We've had no business
[01:16:44] whatsoever this week, only
[01:16:48] refunds, calling people to refund.
[01:16:50] That's pretty much it with the deadly Bald Range wildfire
[01:16:54] burning in BC Southern Interior. The air is thick with smoke,
[01:16:57] Okanogan beaches that would normally be packed are bare and
[01:17:01] almost no one is on the water.
[01:17:04] We have a dozen kayaks and stand up paddle boards and a
[01:17:08] tough pill to swallow if your company relies on tourism. It's
[01:17:12] sad that you get to a point where where it's. That's how
[01:17:16] you have to prepare yourself thinking that fires are a part
[01:17:20] of the world. But it doesn't make it any easier on the day
[01:17:24] when no one's renting bikes.
[01:17:28] This local ice cream shop is feeling the pinch too. Business
[01:17:31] has dropped at least 90% since the fire erupted. We've already
[01:17:35] laid off a chunk of our staff. Like knowing that Summerland
[01:17:39] isn't going to reopen right away. And we have entrepreneurs.
[01:17:42] We don't have the big, big businesses that can really
[01:17:45] hang on. So if this is a really important time for for our
[01:17:49] small business community to be making money. Roughly 12,
[01:17:52] 000 people on evacuation order have no timeline on when they
[01:17:56] can go home. But with hot temperatures,
[01:17:58] gusty winds and a chance of thunderstorms,
[01:18:01] officials warn fires could intensify.
[01:18:05] Evacuees like Christine Coletta are trying to find ways to pass
[01:18:09] the time. These grapevines remind Coletta of her vineyard
[01:18:13] inside Summerland she worries about the tourists she's losing
[01:18:17] out on. About 35% of our total sales for the year come from
[01:18:21] what we call the tasting room. If we can't get in and open the
[01:18:25] tasting room and get our staff back in place,
[01:18:28] we're going to miss seeing thousands of people from now
[01:18:31] until the end of October.
[01:18:34] For businesses inside and outside the evacuation zone,
[01:18:37] they're taking it one day at a time,
[01:18:39] hoping things get back to normal soon. And Julia,
[01:18:42] some movement tonight on road closures in the area. That's
[01:18:45] right. So Hwy. 97, which you can see behind me,
[01:18:48] it runs through summer land and it has reopened. But traffic is
[01:18:52] only allowed between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM. And
[01:18:55] drivers are not allowed to stop or exit the highway without a
[01:18:59] temporary access pass. The regional district saying that
[01:19:02] if drivers don't follow the rules, the highway could shut down
[01:19:05] again. Julia Wong in Penticton, BC tonight.
[01:19:12] At the Sikh temple in Penticton, volunteers cut and prepare
[01:19:16] meals for evacuees. Since the Bald Range wildfire broke out
[01:19:21] on Friday, they've been supplying food and
[01:19:24] cooking hot meals, serving hundreds of evacuees
[01:19:27] each day. So we start feeding some people. The one
[01:19:31] desperately need essential items
[01:19:35] because some of them, they had nothing with them,
[01:19:37] not even shoes. Fresh fruits and vegetables are also
[01:19:41] available for evacuees. They just come from local farms.
[01:19:45] Fruit stands and some packing sheds and everybody willing to
[01:19:49] donate more than we need the farm fresh food as satisfying
[01:19:53] delight for summer land evacuee Barbara Dority. It's just
[01:19:57] amazing that we have everything that's available that they've
[01:20:01] taken from their farms and brought here for us. I mean,
[01:20:04] how, how wonderful can that be?
[01:20:08] Bethel Church in Penticton has also been helping,
[01:20:11] supplying hundreds of food hampers to evacuees.
[01:20:16] We have teams of people right now that have gone into the
[01:20:20] community and they're just finding those folks that have
[01:20:23] been displaced, that have maybe lost their
[01:20:26] homes, that are have been evacuated,
[01:20:28] that are living in RV's, living in parking lots,
[01:20:31] in their cars. Sharon Larock and her husband have been
[01:20:35] camping in their RV ever since they were evacuated from their
[01:20:39] summer Land home. She says she's blown away at how the
[01:20:42] people of Penticton have shown up to help. People drop by
[01:20:46] every day, numerous times
[01:20:47] every day, and they've given us bags of
[01:20:50] fruit and, um, do you need any shampoo or
[01:20:53] conditioner or deodorant or any kind of toiletry?
[01:20:57] They have diapers, everything. The province says
[01:21:01] they've freed up over 1000 hotel rooms across the Okanogan
[01:21:05] to provide evacuees a place to stay. But with 12,
[01:21:09] 000 people forced to evacuate and no timeline for when they
[01:21:13] can return, many are still calling
[01:21:16] Penticton's parking lots home. It's
[01:21:19] not too bad, it gets nice cool at night so
[01:21:22] we've been able to sleep. Lots of people sleeping in their car,
[01:21:26] so we're very fortunate.
[01:21:30] This moments of generosity, it's really,
[01:21:33] really comforting. Adding a little comfort to evacuees
[01:21:38] during moments of darkness and uncertainty. Tiffany Goodwin,
[01:21:43] CBC News, Penticton.
[01:21:47] So scrolling on social media and searching wildfire returns
[01:21:49] millions of posts, some using AI to generate maps
[01:21:53] indicating wildfires were happening all across Ontario,
[01:21:56] when in reality there were no active wildfires in Toronto.
[01:22:00] Other reels showing AI generated firefighters claiming
[01:22:03] to be in Canada.
[01:22:05] Hello Canadians, and some recently claiming
[01:22:08] Allison is responsible for all wildfires in BC. In the absence
[01:22:12] of verified official information,
[01:22:15] people will often fill the gap and there's typically
[01:22:18] speculation online. As soon as a wildfire emerges or or
[01:22:22] wildfire season even begins, the conspiracy theories and the
[01:22:26] misinformation and disinformation start start
[01:22:29] increasing. And while RCMP has confirmed they are
[01:22:32] investigating the cause of the board range fire,
[01:22:36] they say this is typical. We've seen a number of human caused
[01:22:39] fires. Human cause does not immediately indicate arson or
[01:22:42] that it was intentionally set. Of course we've seen fires that
[01:22:46] have been accidental, especially with some of the
[01:22:48] conditions we've seen just like any other fire which we did a
[01:22:52] suspicious until proven otherwise. To be clear,
[01:22:55] 3 wildfires states that right now over 75% of wildfires this
[01:22:58] year are determined or suspected to be caused by
[01:23:02] lightning. And in a press conference on Tuesday,
[01:23:05] they confirmed that in total, 4% of all wildfires in the last
[01:23:09] 10 years in BC are believed to be intentionally set. But the
[01:23:13] experts I spoke to say many AI generated images of flooding X
[01:23:17] TikTok and Meta and making it difficult to find credible
[01:23:20] information. Wildfire content lends itself to sensationalized
[01:23:25] images and so any image forward platform is is going to be
[01:23:28] really popular for this. I think the biggest thing to
[01:23:31] lookout for is, does it distract away from
[01:23:35] climate change? Sonia Suliman specializes in
[01:23:38] researching misinformation and disinformation surrounding
[01:23:41] extreme weather events. For the rise of AI generated a mess,
[01:23:45] and disinformation around climate specifically is really
[01:23:49] a huge problem in Canada. We've seen it's much easier to
[01:23:52] circulate that can reach borders and in seconds. She
[01:23:55] says some of those posts can include things like mislabeled
[01:23:59] maps or text that talks about wildfire mismanagement. Their
[01:24:03] direct disinformation narrative would be that
[01:24:06] this is a deliberate act rather than one caused by natural
[01:24:09] climate change. It changes the subject away from why are there
[01:24:13] more fires in more places around the world that are
[01:24:16] bigger and more frequent? It's because we have a hotter
[01:24:20] and drier climate. So what's behind some of these posts when
[01:24:23] it comes to disinformation meaning false information
[01:24:27] shared on purpose? Michael Coop, Policy Co chair of Climate
[01:24:30] Action Against Disinformation, says there's been a spike in
[01:24:34] the last five years. Natural disaster
[01:24:36] events have become a real hive for disinformation. The most
[01:24:40] pernicious and dangerous parts of climate disinformation,
[01:24:43] and disinformation in general, is that there's a network of
[01:24:47] people who get paid to divide society on the most important
[01:24:50] or most talked about issues. And the social media platforms
[01:24:54] are are square one responsible for that entire system of
[01:24:57] monetization. Vic 12 Rio is the executive director at What to
[01:25:01] Fix, an organization that's been
[01:25:03] tracking content monetization programs across social media
[01:25:06] platforms.
[01:25:07] In a situation like a wildfire, what you will have is a lot of
[01:25:10] people turning to social media for minute to minute news,
[01:25:14] and so you have an unusual amount of search for key terms
[01:25:17] that are related to the wildfires. So we've seen quite
[01:25:21] a bit of content that will sort of ride those keywords because
[01:25:24] that's just a way to get views in times like this. And in
[01:25:28] Canada, the experts we spoke to say
[01:25:30] that DIS and misinformation can be more extreme due to Matters
[01:25:34] response to Canada's Online News Act, which blocks
[01:25:37] Asian users from seeing all new sites on Facebook and Instagram.
[01:25:41] When journalism disappears, it's not
[01:25:44] replaced by nothing. Something has to fill that void, right?
[01:25:48] And right now, it's replaced by content that
[01:25:50] serves a very different function. So influencer posts,
[01:25:54] which carry no attribution and score far higher on emotional
[01:25:57] intensity are are much more popular now. Take this post on
[01:26:01] Facebook about the wildfire in Peachland,
[01:26:03] BC last year. While the post says it's AI generated,
[01:26:06] it's still got a lot of views. The BC Wildfire Service
[01:26:09] specifically called out this image along with another AI
[01:26:13] image, saying they do not accurately
[01:26:15] represent the terrain, fire size or fire behaviour in
[01:26:18] the area and that these types of posts can add to anxiety
[01:26:21] that come with wildfires. The post appears to be published by
[01:26:25] a digital creator on Instagram with 80,
[01:26:27] 000 followers and on Facebook with 2 million followers. The
[01:26:31] accounts feature multiple posts about wildfires and other
[01:26:34] extreme weather events this year. We do unfortunately come
[01:26:38] across quite a lot of those. There's very large communities
[01:26:41] of individual. They've come to realize that they can generate
[01:26:45] quite a bit
[01:26:46] of revenue by running faceless accounts and automating much of
[01:26:49] the process and really jumping from crisis to crisis. Now,
[01:26:53] we searched the What to Fix Monetization archive and found
[01:26:57] that the account owner of that AI generated wildfire post is a
[01:27:00] monetized Facebook account. So two years ago,
[01:27:03] based on the data that we have, we had two million accounts
[01:27:07] registered to monetize on Facebook. Today we're looking
[01:27:10] at 16 000, 000. So that's an 800% increase
[01:27:13] in just two years. There are more players,
[01:27:16] possibly less money to be made, but still,
[01:27:18] if you're making $1000 a month in many of those places,
[01:27:21] that actually goes a very long way and it's incentive enough.
[01:27:25] We reached out to the account owner about the posts but did
[01:27:29] not receive a response by our deadline. Rio says while
[01:27:32] monetization programs like Meters do help content creators
[01:27:35] generate income, they lack regulation when it
[01:27:38] comes to who qualifies for the program. The whole AI slot
[01:27:41] problem is very much a byproduct of those monetization
[01:27:44] programs, and it's not just
[01:27:46] better. Rios says X, TikTok, Snapchat and LinkedIn all have
[01:27:50] their own content monetization programs. Solomon says without
[01:27:53] more regulation on these platforms,
[01:27:55] it could have real consequences. It can really misdirect public
[01:27:59] response and undermine of official emergency
[01:28:02] communications. We need policies to to strengthen
[01:28:04] information integrity and certainly AI safety and that's
[01:28:08] really the structural at the structural platform level and
[01:28:11] that includes the economic models that these platforms are built on.
[01:28:18] Check this out. This is a NASA ER 2A repurposed Cold War spy
[01:28:20] craft, and it was just tracked flying
[01:28:22] back and forth over Western Canada for six hours straight.
[01:28:26] So why is a NASA spy plane flying over Canada?
[01:28:29] It's up there because of these fire clouds,
[01:28:31] a phenomenon we don't fully understand. I'll explain.
[01:28:34] Canada is dealing with explosive wildfires like the
[01:28:38] Bald Range Fire that erupted in size on August 7th. And NASA
[01:28:41] sent this high altitude spy plane to track a terrifying
[01:28:44] weather event born out of the flames
[01:28:47] cloud called pyro cumulonimbus, or firecloud. Here's how these
[01:28:50] firestorms work. When a wildfire gets big enough and
[01:28:53] hot enough in a short amount of time, it triggers giant,
[01:28:56] violent updrafts. the Super heated air and moisture act
[01:29:00] like a vacuum, pulling winds and oxygen into
[01:29:02] the base of the fire, giving it the fuel it needs
[01:29:05] while punching smoke straight up into the sky. This creates A
[01:29:08] literal thunderstorm, one that generates its own
[01:29:11] downbursts, erratic lightning strikes,
[01:29:13] and even fire tornadoes. It was officially added to the
[01:29:16] International Cloud Atlas in 2017 as Cumulonimbus Flamm agenus,
[01:29:20] and scientists have been trying to understand them ever since.
[01:29:24] Data from the World Climate Research Program shows that
[01:29:27] these storms act like chimneys. For a long time,
[01:29:30] scientists thought only big volcanic eruptions or nuclear
[01:29:33] blasts could force particles into the stratosphere. Now we
[01:29:37] know these intense pyrocumulus can shoot plumes of black
[01:29:40] carbon and aerosols up to 16 kilometers into the lower
[01:29:43] stratosphere, where they stay trapped. And
[01:29:45] climate change is making these fire cloud
[01:29:48] producing mega fires occur more often and the most often in
[01:29:51] Canada, according to the latest
[01:29:53] research. And that's exactly why NASA is flying a spy plane
[01:29:56] directly over the smoke at 60, 000 feet. It's a modified
[01:29:59] Lockheed U2, nicknamed the Dragon Lady,
[01:30:01] an aircraft used by the US military back in the pre
[01:30:04] satellite era for exactly this purpose. Studying the ground
[01:30:08] from incredibly high, the R2 sits safely in the
[01:30:10] stratosphere looking straight down into the core of the storm.
[01:30:14] It's measuring the exact height, temperature and thickness of
[01:30:17] the plume in real time.
[01:30:19] The goal is to figure out exactly how these firestorms
[01:30:21] develop so we can forecast them, because understanding this fire
[01:30:25] monster is the first step to surviving it. Johanna Wagstaff,
[01:30:28] CBC News, Vancouver.
[01:32:33] Ontario's opposition parties are demanding answers over
[01:32:36] reports that the Progressive Conservative Party spied on
[01:32:40] former provincial Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie,
[01:32:42] and these allegations are first reported by the Trillium and
[01:32:46] Pauli Corner. The party allegedly spent nearly 3000 in
[01:32:49] donor and taxpayer dollars on resorts in Jamaica. In a
[01:32:53] statement to CBC News, a party spokesperson confirmed
[01:32:56] quote opposition research occurred in December of 2023.
[01:32:59] The alleged surveillance took place six days after Crombie
[01:33:03] won the Liberal leadership race. My next guest was one of the
[01:33:07] reporters breaking that story. Ahmed El Bayoumi is the author
[01:33:22] How did you, you know, get a tip and and how did you
[01:33:26] find this out? So essentially on Monday,
[01:33:28] my colleague Jack Cowan at the Trillium reported that $3000
[01:33:32] was spent by the PC Party in Ontario on hotels in Jamaica.
[01:33:36] And a couple of days later, as journalists in this province
[01:33:40] try to figure out what these hotels were used for. Myself
[01:33:43] and my colleague Charlie Pinkerton at the Trillium, we both reported for the Trillium and for Polly Corner
[01:33:50] that the PC Party sent an operative to Jamaica in order
[01:33:54] to spy on, as is alleged by our sources,
[01:33:56] the former then Liberal leader, Bonnie Crombie. Now keep in
[01:34:00] mind, she was just elected Liberal
[01:34:02] leader. It was six days after her win that she went to
[01:34:05] Jamaica for a three day vacation. It is that. It is
[01:34:08] then when we are told that the Conservatives sent an operative
[01:34:12] to stay at the same resort that she was at to try to gather
[01:34:21] information on a political opponent that not that might
[01:34:25] not be necessarily pleasant or or or
[01:34:34] reacted to the story today. Yeah. What's he saying? Well,
[01:34:38] I asked the premier explicitly why he thought that taxpayer
[01:34:41] money was it was OK for taxpayer money to be spent on
[01:34:44] an operation like this. Keep in mind,
[01:34:46] political parties in Ontario, they make their money from both
[01:34:50] donors but from also a per vote subsidy that is paid by the
[01:34:53] taxpayer. The Premier said he only found out when Polly
[01:34:56] Corner and the Trillium asked questions yesterday and that he
[01:35:00] was not aware that he does not approve of it
[01:35:02] personally, but that we should ask
[01:35:04] questions to the party. And as you said,
[01:35:07] the party in a statement this evening confirmed to us that
[01:35:10] they didn't indeed send someone to Jamaica on what they are
[01:35:14] describing as an opposition research mission.
[01:35:17] So the opposition, the Liberal Party, who were,
[01:35:20] you know, I guess the subject of this
[01:35:22] reconnaissance, what's the reaction there? Well,
[01:35:25] opposition parties are describing this as creepy,
[01:35:28] disgusting and completely inappropriate. Mart Styles,
[01:35:31] the leader of the official Opposition NDP here,
[01:35:34] she said yesterday that she thought that the buck stops
[01:35:37] with the premier, that regardless of whether he
[01:35:40] knew or whether it was, you know, a senior staffer,
[01:35:42] a junior staffer, that the premier is ultimately
[01:35:45] accountable for this. The leader of the Liberals,
[01:35:48] they said that he doesn't believe. John Fraser said that
[01:35:52] he doesn't believe that the premier is telling the truth,
[01:35:55] that the premier ought to have known that someone from his
[01:35:58] from his team was was sent to Jamaica to do this and that it
[01:36:02] crosses a line. There is in their opinion,
[01:36:05] a difference between a political operation when a
[01:36:08] politician is actively doing their job and when a politician
[01:36:11] is outside of the country on a vacation. Yeah. So that for
[01:36:15] saying that he did not know about this, he's also,
[01:36:18] I believe, saying
[01:36:19] that this is no different in his mind than when reporters
[01:36:23] follow him on trips to the US. So you've covered Queens Park
[01:36:26] for, what, four years now? Yeah. Is it different? I,
[01:36:30] I do think it is different. I think that journalists being
[01:36:33] able to follow the premier on a trip,
[01:36:36] whether he is a premier or a counselor at the time, that is,
[01:36:39] you know, where he is doing government
[01:36:42] business is very different from journalists, you know,
[01:36:45] going after the premier on a vacation. Keep in mind that
[01:36:49] this is a premier who who talks a lot about, you know,
[01:36:52] how important his personal privacy and his family's
[01:36:55] privacy is. The premier took issue years ago,
[01:36:58] I believe two or three years ago when protester protesters
[01:37:01] showed up to his house. He told them to, you know,
[01:37:04] keep the politics at Queens Park. And so the premier is
[01:37:07] ultimately now answering for why he thought that the OR why
[01:37:10] his party thought that the standard here was somewhat
[01:37:13] different For Bonnie Crombie
[01:40:58] Montreal police are utilizing AI to help with its
[01:41:00] investigations. The tech and the way it's being used could
[01:41:03] change policing in the city moving forward. The SPVM has
[01:41:06] made it very clear they're interested in it to this
[01:41:09] technology. They're deploying this technology. A surveillance
[01:41:13] camera similar to Flock in the United States is here. It's
[01:41:16] called the Cloud Runner CRH 2 from Montreal based company
[01:41:19] Genentech. It scans license plates but can also identify
[01:41:22] the colour, make and model of vehicles. But
[01:41:25] unlike Flock, the information can only be accessed by its operator.
[01:41:29] The camera is one part of a larger software that uses AI to
[01:41:33] detect and identify vehicles. But the company says privacy is
[01:41:37] carefully monitored and that data can't be tampered with as
[01:41:40] every interaction with it is logged. You should have an
[01:41:44] expectation of reasonable privacy. However, as I said,
[01:41:47] it's a trade off. If the threat of something bad happening is
[01:41:52] high, as a community we need to say
[01:41:54] what are we comfortable with giving up? In a statement,
[01:41:57] the SPBM says that it's only using the cloud
[01:42:00] and her camera for a specific investigation and that other
[01:42:04] similar cameras could be added in the future. It is connected
[01:42:08] to the wireless network, so the cellular network. And so
[01:42:12] footage that it collects, just watching traffic,
[01:42:15] watching whatever goes on outside is then sent to,
[01:42:18] you know, a cloud service. And then
[01:42:20] artificial intelligence is used to analyze those that that
[01:42:24] footage. The SPM is also using another software called imotion
[01:42:28] Roc. It's an American software from Rank One
[01:42:31] Computing. It uses AI to track certain characteristics,
[01:42:35] among other things. It's currently on 46 urban security
[01:42:39] cameras and can even work on video collected by officers
[01:42:43] with citizen consent or warrant. Rock's ability is to look up to
[01:42:48] 8 different attributes at once. So the ability to go rapidly
[01:42:52] and look at different images, all the images at normal speed
[01:42:57] and analyze the footage so you can find something specific.
[01:43:01] Though the software has real time biometric tracking
[01:43:04] capabilities, VBM says it wouldn't use those
[01:43:07] features. It says it would focus on elements detectives
[01:43:10] already know. And we'll look for visual attributes like
[01:43:14] clothing. An internal privacy impact assessment by the SPVM
[01:43:17] obtained by CBC News acknowledges the technology
[01:43:20] poses civil liberties risks. They mentioned that it could
[01:43:23] put innocent third parties under investigation and the
[01:43:26] risk of discrimination based on visible social characteristics.
[01:43:30] This lawyer says the right to privacy is fundamental.
[01:43:33] And if we're using AI to organize, to treat, to analyze,
[01:43:39] make decisions or projections based on this data,
[01:43:45] you, the individual will lose
[01:43:47] control over is his privacy. At least in the public domain. The
[01:43:51] city's public records show a $17,
[01:43:53] 000 contract to obtain 4 Cloud Runner units over the
[01:43:56] subscription of one year. CBC News reached out to the city
[01:44:00] and asked if it had submitted a bid to obtain the Cloud Runner
[01:44:04] cameras, and it said it didn't. Levy
[01:44:06] says these technologies could be abused by law enforcement
[01:44:10] and that's why it's important for cities to be as transparent
[01:44:13] as possible. Every time
[01:44:15] camera pops up in public use without any explanation for why
[01:44:19] it's there, it's reasonable for members of
[01:44:21] the public to ask questions, why is it being used,
[01:44:24] Who is using it? What is it being used for?
[01:44:27] How are my rights being protected?
[01:44:29] Says policymakers have to catch up and set limitations on how
[01:44:33] AI technology can be used in public.

[01:46:21] It's a common sight on summer nights,
[01:46:23] kids and teens racing around on E scooters hitting 40 to 60
[01:46:27] kilometers or more. This 12 year old boy was left with a
[01:46:31] fractured skull after crashing without a helmet. There was a
[01:46:35] possibility he would not make it. Crystal Dunkley's son Sean
[01:46:39] was in a coma for a week last summer and spent more than a
[01:46:43] month in hospital. He eventually made a full recovery
[01:46:47] and now reminds others to wear a helmet. He has tried to turn
[01:46:51] a tragedy. This is something
[01:46:55] positive.
[01:46:57] Canadian doctors say more kids are getting seriously injured,
[01:47:01] even dying, in E scooter accidents. A new
[01:47:04] survey of pediatricians suggests there were 10 deaths,
[01:47:08] 12 ICU admissions and 26 hospitalizations lasting more
[01:47:12] than two days, all linked to E scooter crashes
[01:47:15] in just one year. These devices are often marketed as toys,
[01:47:19] and I will tell you they're anything but toys.
[01:47:24] Sick Kids in Toronto is among the hospitals seeing a spike in
[01:47:27] injuries from two dozen cases in 2023 to more than 100 last
[01:47:31] year. And this year we're likely on target for more than
[01:47:34] that. So we're just seeing a complete exponential rise in
[01:47:38] the number of kids we're seeing in any injury. And so it
[01:47:41] follows that more severe injuries will also increase
[01:47:45] that kind of this a similar rate. E scooters are illegal
[01:47:48] for most Canadians under 16, but we're not seeing
[01:47:51] enforcement of age. We're not seeing enforcement
[01:47:54] of double riding. Helmet wear is not enforced.
[01:48:00] The 18 year old son of former Canadian Prime Minister Justin
[01:48:04] Trudeau skipped any head protection for a back to school
[01:48:07] E scooter ad this week. I would say this is the Rolls Royce of
[01:48:11] scooters. Prompting his mom to ask where's your helmet?
[01:48:15] Xavier Trudeau quickly posted an apology,
[01:48:18] saying safety is the most important thing. With a
[01:48:21] patchwork of local bylaws across much of the country,
[01:48:25] doctors worry more young riders will remain at risk. Lauren

[01:53:08] This scene outside Calgary Saddledome,
[01:53:10] a bit of a summer trend. Thousands of fans left waiting
[01:53:14] for hours for a Neo and Akon concert that started two hours
[01:53:17] late. You couldn't even get to your seats. They weren't
[01:53:20] letting people. Everyone's just sitting in the concourse.
[01:53:26] A brief apology from the stage, but no compensation. Amandeep
[01:53:30] Walia says between 2:00 tickets, extending a babysitter and food,
[01:53:34] he spent around $700.00 for the experience. We should have got
[01:53:38] a 30% rebate or you know, a 40% credit towards the next
[01:53:42] show from Ticketmaster in New York City,
[01:53:45] a different artist. But another delay when a Jay-Z show started
[01:53:49] 4 hours late came about 12/12/15. But it was it was it
[01:53:53] was definitely a show to remember.
[01:53:57] Risers blamed non ticket holders who stormed the
[01:54:00] entrances, creating security issues. 10,
[01:54:02] 000 people outside. I don't wanna stop using. People get
[01:54:06] trampled, so I know
[01:54:09] convenience. Experts say ticket holders don't have many rights,
[01:54:13] even when shows run hours behind. Most concert ticket
[01:54:16] contracts are written to give promoters considerable
[01:54:20] flexibility if schedules change. But consumer advocates say
[01:54:24] concert promoters should be transparent with ticket holders
[01:54:28] about any schedule changes. It might be worthwhile trying to
[01:54:32] legislate for some sort of rights similar to when you have
[01:54:36] a flight and if your flight is delayed by two or three hours,
[01:54:40] you have the right to a refund. Live Nation Canada says it
[01:54:44] understands delays can be frustrating but adds live
[01:54:47] events are complex and involve many moving parts and despite
[01:54:50] extensive planning, unforeseen circumstances can
[01:54:53] sometimes arise. Frustrate me the most was if they were to
[01:54:57] start on time, we would have got that full
[01:55:00] experience
[01:55:02] and experience Walia and his wife had been looking forward
[01:55:06] to for months. Ina Sidhu, CBC News, Calgary.
[02:00:30] Canada U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc met with U.S.
[02:00:32] Trade Representative Jameson Greer in Washington as pressure
[02:00:36] to get a new trade deal ratchets up even higher.
[02:00:41] He rejected any proposals by the US
[02:00:44] about that. LeBlanc keeping radio silence on a possible
[02:00:48] deadlock despite the looming deadline. New potentially
[02:00:52] devastating 50% US tariffs on a wide range of Canadian goods
[02:00:56] are just days from snapping into place. But at least one
[02:01:00] premier made it clear he doesn't want Ottawa to blink
[02:01:03] first. Evan Dyer joins us now from Ottawa. Evan,
[02:01:07] have we seen any signs of progress in these talks?
[02:01:10] Not really. Crystal, the Canadians in the US trade
[02:01:14] representative,
[02:01:15] Famous and Greer met for just under 2 hours this afternoon
[02:01:18] and he emerged with this message.
[02:01:20] We had good discussions today. We were cordial. They were
[02:01:24] detailed, the president, the Prime Minister,
[02:01:26] obviously they'll be given options and discussions,
[02:01:29] but I don't think there's anything to report right now.
[02:01:32] Is there a chance that there won't be?
[02:01:34] So it comes after we heard earlier this week that Ottawa
[02:01:38] rejected a proposal from Washington that lowered tariffs,
[02:01:41] but apparently not by enough. We did, however,
[02:01:44] hear from some premiers today. Yes,
[02:01:46] we heard from both Premier Ford of Ontario and Premier
[02:01:49] Frechette of Quebec stating pretty clearly
[02:01:51] that they want federal negotiators to hold the line.
[02:01:54] In the case of Frechette, we heard that supply management
[02:01:57] is a non negotiable for Quebec and that message has been
[02:01:59] communicated to Ottawa. And she also seemed to be looking past
[02:02:02] next Wednesday to a future where these threatened new
[02:02:05] tariffs are already in place and seeking assurances that the
[02:02:08] federal government would offer support to affected businesses
[02:02:11] and workers. And we saw federal finance ministers say that yes,
[02:02:14] the federal government will be there. He made those comments
[02:02:17] in Saguenay, Quebec, which is a region that's
[02:02:19] particularly vulnerable to tariffs because of its aluminum
[02:02:23] and forestry industries. We expect Dominic LeBlanc to brief
[02:02:26] his provincial counterparts on Friday. As for Ford,
[02:02:29] he suggested he'll hold the line on Ontario's boycott of US
[02:02:33] alcohol, saying he'll drop it only as
[02:02:35] part of a fair deal.
[02:02:37] I do not, I'm gonna emphasize, use alcohol as a bargaining
[02:02:40] chip during the negotiations. If we get a fair deal that will
[02:02:44] protect our steel sector, auto sector,
[02:02:46] our forestry sector, agriculture sector,
[02:02:49] manufacturing sector, then we'd be more than happy to
[02:02:52] bring booze back on the shelves only if we have a deal that's
[02:02:56] going to protect those sectors. So Ford added that pressure on
[02:03:00] the US was important, in his words. Kinda negotiates
[02:03:03] through strength, not weakness. And he's been
[02:03:05] very clear that he opposes any situation
[02:03:08] where the US keeps its tariffs on Canadian autos and Canadian
[02:03:12] carrier tariffs come off. Alright. That's Evan Dyer in
[02:03:15] Ottawa. Thanks so much. Thanks.
[02:03:19] They give us just a sliver more of the story of what happened
[02:03:23] on February 10th in the tiny, tight knit mountain town of
[02:03:26] Tumblr Ridge.
[02:03:27] A timeline of how police found the bodies of the 8 victims and
[02:03:31] of the shooter, 18 year old Jesse Van
[02:03:34] Rootselaar. The documents are heavily redacted. Strategic
[02:03:38] communication is happening where
[02:03:41] it is an RCMP choice, not a necessity or legal
[02:03:45] requirement to withhold a lot of the information right now,
[02:03:50] and that should be concerning to the public
[02:03:55] most concerned about the details of the firearms used.
[02:04:00] This is a big issue because there are concerns that have
[02:04:05] been raised about whether police action or inaction might
[02:04:10] have
[02:04:12] interfered with the shooters ability to follow through with
[02:04:16] the act at the school.
[02:04:18] We do have more details about the 911 calls that poured in
[02:04:22] that morning. First, a call about an SUV driving
[02:04:24] erratically away from the shooter's house,
[02:04:27] then multiple calls of shots fired inside the school.
[02:04:31] The documents give a timeline of officers arriving to the
[02:04:34] scene, hearing gunshots, going into the school,
[02:04:37] finding victims and ultimately the shooter dead with
[02:04:40] self-inflicted gunshot wounds. The documents say police had to
[02:04:43] hold while being shot at.
[02:04:46] They also mentioned the shooter went by multiple different last
[02:04:49] names and that some police officers thought there may have
[02:04:52] been 2 shooters for a time. But much is still uncertain as many
[02:04:55] pages are blacked out entirely. British Columbia has announced
[02:04:58] there will be a coroners inquest into the shootings,
[02:05:01] will examine issues like the shooters mental health and
[02:05:04] access to weapons, as well as the role artificial
[02:05:06] intelligence may have played in this case. And Michelle,
[02:05:09] let's talk a little bit about some of the details that we
[02:05:12] don't know yet.
[02:05:14] There's a lot that the section about the shooter social media
[02:05:17] accounts is redacted entirely. And while the documents show a
[02:05:21] police response timeline, all the timestamps are redacted.
[02:05:24] So we don't know details like how long passed between the
[02:05:27] police getting to the school and actually getting to the
[02:05:30] shooter. Michelle Allen in Vancouver, thank you.

[02:10:22] The latest in a long line of attacks in the occupied West
[02:10:26] Bank, this time in the village of
[02:10:28] Khusra, where militant settlers clashed
[02:10:31] with Israeli troops. After the settlers cut off access to
[02:10:34] three Palestinian homes,
[02:10:37] Green Rd. that leads to the house was blocked,
[02:10:40] says Ruqaiya Hasan. They dug up the road. They put rocks on it.
[02:10:44] No one is allowed to pass through it. And they cut off
[02:10:48] the electricity line. They cut off the water line from my from
[02:10:52] my house. And my neighbor. Louie Reedy,
[02:10:54] a Palestinian American, owns one of the homes that's
[02:10:57] under siege. He's been watching from Ohio,
[02:11:00] talking to his brother inside the house in Khusra where his
[02:11:04] food is running low.
[02:11:07] No one is helping him. And, and it just, you know,
[02:11:10] it's terrifying. Video from a surveillance camera mounted on
[02:11:14] Rudy's house until Israeli troops removed it shows
[02:11:17] soldiers mingling with settlers. Other video appears to show
[02:11:21] them praying together. The military initially took up
[02:11:24] positions in Khusra and ordered several Palestinian families
[02:11:28] out of their homes before reversing course and declaring
[02:11:32] they could stay. Officially, the IDF calls this siege
[02:11:35] illegal, reprehensible and unacceptable
[02:11:38] and says any IDF member involved will face disciplinary
[02:11:42] action. But human rights groups say previous incidents have
[02:11:46] shown those are empty words. In many of the videos of the
[02:11:49] attacks, you can see the settlers
[02:11:52] attacking while there are soldiers together with them
[02:11:55] either standing by and not doing anything or many times
[02:11:59] even participating in those attacks. This attack has
[02:12:03] prompted A sterner than usual response from Israel's closest
[02:12:07] ally, the United States.
[02:12:08] Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel,
[02:12:12] has called the attackers Israeli terrorists while
[02:12:15] insisting violence like this is the result of a very small
[02:12:20] minority who do great damage. Tom Perry, CBC News, Ottawa.
[02:12:27] In Germany, another anniversary marked In a
[02:12:30] country where remembrance runs deep.
[02:12:33] 65 years ago, people in Berlin woke up to
[02:12:37] find a barbed wire fence had been erected. Overnight,
[02:12:41] the Communist E cut off its people from fleeing to the
[02:12:46] democratic W, splitting the city into. At
[02:12:49] least 136 people died trying to cross. I'm afraid for our
[02:12:54] freedom. Hartmut Richter successfully escaped. He swam
[02:12:58] to the West in 1966. Then he helped 33 people escape too,
[02:13:03] by smuggling them in the trunk of his.
[02:13:06] So far, nobody could imagine that it
[02:13:08] would be a 28 years. Many Germans thought the wall would
[02:13:13] never come down until it did, nearly 3 decades later. It was
[02:13:17] in my hotel and I heard in West Berlin and I heard so much
[02:13:21] noise and I spent the whole night totally dazed with
[02:13:25] everybody else crying and hugging. Since Unifying,
[02:13:29] Germany has consistently advocated for the free movement
[02:13:33] of people taking in large numbers of immigrants and
[02:13:37] refugees.
[02:13:39] But that identity is now facing one of its biggest tests. The
[02:13:43] far right political party, the AFD Alternative for
[02:13:47] Deutschland, continues to gain support. It
[02:13:50] wants to severely restrict immigration. And the party
[02:13:54] could win power for the first time in a state election next
[02:13:58] month. What an irony, isn't it, that we talked about
[02:14:02] reunification now in Germany for decades and we really want
[02:14:06] to become one people again. And now we have a party that
[02:14:11] really splits Germany and have memories of the wall are
[02:14:14] everywhere in Berlin, even this cobblestone path that
[02:14:18] marks exactly where the wall cut through the entire city. A
[02:14:22] constant reminder of the scars of division as Germany faces
[02:14:26] down a new era of political polarization. Marina von
[02:14:30] Stackelberg, CBC News, Berlin.
[02:16:35] For this outdoor adventure company,
[02:16:37] business in the summer is usually brisk,
[02:16:40] but it has slowed to a crawl. We've had no business
[02:16:44] whatsoever this week, only
[02:16:48] refunds, calling people to refund.
[02:16:50] That's pretty much it with the deadly Bald Range wildfire
[02:16:54] burning in BC Southern Interior. The air is thick with smoke,
[02:16:57] Okanogan beaches that would normally be packed are bare and
[02:17:01] almost no one is on the water.
[02:17:04] We have a dozen kayaks and stand up paddle boards and a
[02:17:08] tough pill to swallow if your company relies on tourism. It's
[02:17:12] sad that you get to a point where where it's. That's how
[02:17:16] you have to prepare yourself thinking that fires are a part
[02:17:20] of the world. But it doesn't make it any easier on the day
[02:17:24] when no one's renting bikes.
[02:17:28] This local ice cream shop is feeling the pinch too. Business
[02:17:31] has dropped at least 90% since the fire erupted. We've already
[02:17:35] laid off a chunk of our staff. Like knowing that Summerland
[02:17:39] isn't going to reopen right away. And we have entrepreneurs.
[02:17:42] We don't have the big, big businesses that can really
[02:17:45] hang on. So if this is a really important time for for our
[02:17:49] small business community to be making money. Roughly 12,
[02:17:52] 000 people on evacuation order have no timeline on when they
[02:17:56] can go home. But with hot temperatures,
[02:17:58] gusty winds and a chance of thunderstorms,
[02:18:01] officials warn fires could intensify.
[02:18:05] Evacuees like Christine Coletta are trying to find ways to pass
[02:18:09] the time. These grapevines remind Coletta of her vineyard
[02:18:13] inside Summerland she worries about the tourists she's losing
[02:18:17] out on. About 35% of our total sales for the year come from
[02:18:21] what we call the tasting room. If we can't get in and open the
[02:18:25] tasting room and get our staff back in place,
[02:18:28] we're going to miss seeing thousands of people from now
[02:18:31] until the end of October.
[02:18:34] For businesses inside and outside the evacuation zone,
[02:18:37] they're taking it one day at a time,
[02:18:39] hoping things get back to normal soon. And Julia,
[02:18:42] some movement tonight on road closures in the area. That's
[02:18:45] right. So Hwy. 97, which you can see behind me,
[02:18:48] it runs through summer land and it has reopened. But traffic is
[02:18:52] only allowed between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM. And
[02:18:55] drivers are not allowed to stop or exit the highway without a
[02:18:59] temporary access pass. The regional district saying that
[02:19:02] if drivers don't follow the rules, the highway could shut down
[02:19:05] again. Julia Wong in Penticton, BC tonight.
[02:19:12] At the Sikh temple in Penticton, volunteers cut and prepare
[02:19:16] meals for evacuees. Since the Bald Range wildfire broke out
[02:19:21] on Friday, they've been supplying food and
[02:19:24] cooking hot meals, serving hundreds of evacuees
[02:19:27] each day. So we start feeding some people. The one
[02:19:31] desperately need essential items
[02:19:35] because some of them, they had nothing with them,
[02:19:37] not even shoes. Fresh fruits and vegetables are also
[02:19:41] available for evacuees. They just come from local farms.
[02:19:45] Fruit stands and some packing sheds and everybody willing to
[02:19:49] donate more than we need the farm fresh food as satisfying
[02:19:53] delight for summer land evacuee Barbara Dority. It's just
[02:19:57] amazing that we have everything that's available that they've
[02:20:01] taken from their farms and brought here for us. I mean,
[02:20:04] how, how wonderful can that be?
[02:20:08] Bethel Church in Penticton has also been helping,
[02:20:11] supplying hundreds of food hampers to evacuees.
[02:20:16] We have teams of people right now that have gone into the
[02:20:20] community and they're just finding those folks that have
[02:20:23] been displaced, that have maybe lost their
[02:20:26] homes, that are have been evacuated,
[02:20:28] that are living in RV's, living in parking lots,
[02:20:31] in their cars. Sharon Larock and her husband have been
[02:20:35] camping in their RV ever since they were evacuated from their
[02:20:39] summer Land home. She says she's blown away at how the
[02:20:42] people of Penticton have shown up to help. People drop by
[02:20:46] every day, numerous times
[02:20:47] every day, and they've given us bags of
[02:20:50] fruit and, um, do you need any shampoo or
[02:20:53] conditioner or deodorant or any kind of toiletry?
[02:20:57] They have diapers, everything. The province says
[02:21:01] they've freed up over 1000 hotel rooms across the Okanogan
[02:21:05] to provide evacuees a place to stay. But with 12,
[02:21:09] 000 people forced to evacuate and no timeline for when they
[02:21:13] can return, many are still calling
[02:21:16] Penticton's parking lots home. It's
[02:21:19] not too bad, it gets nice cool at night so
[02:21:22] we've been able to sleep. Lots of people sleeping in their car,
[02:21:26] so we're very fortunate.
[02:21:30] This moments of generosity, it's really,
[02:21:33] really comforting. Adding a little comfort to evacuees
[02:21:38] during moments of darkness and uncertainty. Tiffany Goodwin,
[02:21:43] CBC News, Penticton.
[02:21:47] So scrolling on social media and searching wildfire returns
[02:21:49] millions of posts, some using AI to generate maps
[02:21:53] indicating wildfires were happening all across Ontario,
[02:21:56] when in reality there were no active wildfires in Toronto.
[02:22:00] Other reels showing AI generated firefighters claiming
[02:22:03] to be in Canada.
[02:22:05] Hello Canadians, and some recently claiming
[02:22:08] Allison is responsible for all wildfires in BC. In the absence
[02:22:12] of verified official information,
[02:22:15] people will often fill the gap and there's typically
[02:22:18] speculation online. As soon as a wildfire emerges or or
[02:22:22] wildfire season even begins, the conspiracy theories and the
[02:22:26] misinformation and disinformation start start
[02:22:29] increasing. And while RCMP has confirmed they are
[02:22:32] investigating the cause of the board range fire,
[02:22:36] they say this is typical. We've seen a number of human caused
[02:22:39] fires. Human cause does not immediately indicate arson or
[02:22:42] that it was intentionally set. Of course we've seen fires that
[02:22:46] have been accidental, especially with some of the
[02:22:48] conditions we've seen just like any other fire which we did a
[02:22:52] suspicious until proven otherwise. To be clear,
[02:22:55] 3 wildfires states that right now over 75% of wildfires this
[02:22:58] year are determined or suspected to be caused by
[02:23:02] lightning. And in a press conference on Tuesday,
[02:23:05] they confirmed that in total, 4% of all wildfires in the last
[02:23:09] 10 years in BC are believed to be intentionally set. But the
[02:23:13] experts I spoke to say many AI generated images of flooding X
[02:23:17] TikTok and Meta and making it difficult to find credible
[02:23:20] information. Wildfire content lends itself to sensationalized
[02:23:25] images and so any image forward platform is is going to be
[02:23:28] really popular for this. I think the biggest thing to
[02:23:31] lookout for is, does it distract away from
[02:23:35] climate change? Sonia Suliman specializes in
[02:23:38] researching misinformation and disinformation surrounding
[02:23:41] extreme weather events. For the rise of AI generated a mess,
[02:23:45] and disinformation around climate specifically is really
[02:23:49] a huge problem in Canada. We've seen it's much easier to
[02:23:52] circulate that can reach borders and in seconds. She
[02:23:55] says some of those posts can include things like mislabeled
[02:23:59] maps or text that talks about wildfire mismanagement. Their
[02:24:03] direct disinformation narrative would be that
[02:24:06] this is a deliberate act rather than one caused by natural
[02:24:09] climate change. It changes the subject away from why are there
[02:24:13] more fires in more places around the world that are
[02:24:16] bigger and more frequent? It's because we have a hotter
[02:24:20] and drier climate. So what's behind some of these posts when
[02:24:23] it comes to disinformation meaning false information
[02:24:27] shared on purpose? Michael Coop, Policy Co chair of Climate
[02:24:30] Action Against Disinformation, says there's been a spike in
[02:24:34] the last five years. Natural disaster
[02:24:36] events have become a real hive for disinformation. The most
[02:24:40] pernicious and dangerous parts of climate disinformation,
[02:24:43] and disinformation in general, is that there's a network of
[02:24:47] people who get paid to divide society on the most important
[02:24:50] or most talked about issues. And the social media platforms
[02:24:54] are are square one responsible for that entire system of
[02:24:57] monetization. Vic 12 Rio is the executive director at What to
[02:25:01] Fix, an organization that's been
[02:25:03] tracking content monetization programs across social media
[02:25:06] platforms.
[02:25:07] In a situation like a wildfire, what you will have is a lot of
[02:25:10] people turning to social media for minute to minute news,
[02:25:14] and so you have an unusual amount of search for key terms
[02:25:17] that are related to the wildfires. So we've seen quite
[02:25:21] a bit of content that will sort of ride those keywords because
[02:25:24] that's just a way to get views in times like this. And in
[02:25:28] Canada, the experts we spoke to say
[02:25:30] that DIS and misinformation can be more extreme due to Matters
[02:25:34] response to Canada's Online News Act, which blocks
[02:25:37] Asian users from seeing all new sites on Facebook and Instagram.
[02:25:41] When journalism disappears, it's not
[02:25:44] replaced by nothing. Something has to fill that void, right?
[02:25:48] And right now, it's replaced by content that
[02:25:50] serves a very different function. So influencer posts,
[02:25:54] which carry no attribution and score far higher on emotional
[02:25:57] intensity are are much more popular now. Take this post on
[02:26:01] Facebook about the wildfire in Peachland,
[02:26:03] BC last year. While the post says it's AI generated,
[02:26:06] it's still got a lot of views. The BC Wildfire Service
[02:26:09] specifically called out this image along with another AI
[02:26:13] image, saying they do not accurately
[02:26:15] represent the terrain, fire size or fire behaviour in
[02:26:18] the area and that these types of posts can add to anxiety
[02:26:21] that come with wildfires. The post appears to be published by
[02:26:25] a digital creator on Instagram with 80,
[02:26:27] 000 followers and on Facebook with 2 million followers. The
[02:26:31] accounts feature multiple posts about wildfires and other
[02:26:34] extreme weather events this year. We do unfortunately come
[02:26:38] across quite a lot of those. There's very large communities
[02:26:41] of individual. They've come to realize that they can generate
[02:26:45] quite a bit
[02:26:46] of revenue by running faceless accounts and automating much of
[02:26:49] the process and really jumping from crisis to crisis. Now,
[02:26:53] we searched the What to Fix Monetization archive and found
[02:26:57] that the account owner of that AI generated wildfire post is a
[02:27:00] monetized Facebook account. So two years ago,
[02:27:03] based on the data that we have, we had two million accounts
[02:27:07] registered to monetize on Facebook. Today we're looking
[02:27:10] at 16 000, 000. So that's an 800% increase
[02:27:13] in just two years. There are more players,
[02:27:16] possibly less money to be made, but still,
[02:27:18] if you're making $1000 a month in many of those places,
[02:27:21] that actually goes a very long way and it's incentive enough.
[02:27:25] We reached out to the account owner about the posts but did
[02:27:29] not receive a response by our deadline. Rio says while
[02:27:32] monetization programs like Meters do help content creators
[02:27:35] generate income, they lack regulation when it
[02:27:38] comes to who qualifies for the program. The whole AI slot
[02:27:41] problem is very much a byproduct of those monetization
[02:27:44] programs, and it's not just
[02:27:46] better. Rios says X, TikTok, Snapchat and LinkedIn all have
[02:27:50] their own content monetization programs. Solomon says without
[02:27:53] more regulation on these platforms,
[02:27:55] it could have real consequences. It can really misdirect public
[02:27:59] response and undermine of official emergency
[02:28:02] communications. We need policies to to strengthen
[02:28:04] information integrity and certainly AI safety and that's
[02:28:08] really the structural at the structural platform level and
[02:28:11] that includes the economic models that these platforms are built on.
[02:28:18] Check this out. This is a NASA ER 2A repurposed Cold War spy
[02:28:20] craft, and it was just tracked flying
[02:28:22] back and forth over Western Canada for six hours straight.
[02:28:26] So why is a NASA spy plane flying over Canada?
[02:28:29] It's up there because of these fire clouds,
[02:28:31] a phenomenon we don't fully understand. I'll explain.
[02:28:34] Canada is dealing with explosive wildfires like the
[02:28:38] Bald Range Fire that erupted in size on August 7th. And NASA
[02:28:41] sent this high altitude spy plane to track a terrifying
[02:28:44] weather event born out of the flames
[02:28:47] cloud called pyro cumulonimbus, or firecloud. Here's how these
[02:28:50] firestorms work. When a wildfire gets big enough and
[02:28:53] hot enough in a short amount of time, it triggers giant,
[02:28:56] violent updrafts. the Super heated air and moisture act
[02:29:00] like a vacuum, pulling winds and oxygen into
[02:29:02] the base of the fire, giving it the fuel it needs
[02:29:05] while punching smoke straight up into the sky. This creates A
[02:29:08] literal thunderstorm, one that generates its own
[02:29:11] downbursts, erratic lightning strikes,
[02:29:13] and even fire tornadoes. It was officially added to the
[02:29:16] International Cloud Atlas in 2017 as Cumulonimbus Flamm agenus,
[02:29:20] and scientists have been trying to understand them ever since.
[02:29:24] Data from the World Climate Research Program shows that
[02:29:27] these storms act like chimneys. For a long time,
[02:29:30] scientists thought only big volcanic eruptions or nuclear
[02:29:33] blasts could force particles into the stratosphere. Now we
[02:29:37] know these intense pyrocumulus can shoot plumes of black
[02:29:40] carbon and aerosols up to 16 kilometers into the lower
[02:29:43] stratosphere, where they stay trapped. And
[02:29:46] climate change is making these fire cloud
[02:29:48] producing mega fires occur more often and the most often in
[02:29:51] Canada, according to the latest
[02:29:53] research. And that's exactly why NASA is flying a spy plane
[02:29:56] directly over the smoke at 60, 000 feet. It's a modified
[02:29:59] Lockheed U2, nicknamed the Dragon Lady,
[02:30:01] an aircraft used by the US military back in the pre
[02:30:04] satellite era for exactly this purpose. Studying the ground
[02:30:08] from incredibly high, the R2 sits safely in the
[02:30:10] stratosphere looking straight down into the core of the storm.
[02:30:14] It's measuring the exact height, temperature and thickness of
[02:30:17] the plume in real time.
[02:30:19] The goal is to figure out exactly how these firestorms
[02:30:21] develop so we can forecast them, because understanding this fire
[02:30:25] monster is the first step to surviving it. Johanna Wagstaff,
[02:30:28] CBC News, Vancouver.
[02:32:33] Ontario's opposition parties are demanding answers over
[02:32:36] reports that the Progressive Conservative Party spied on
[02:32:40] former provincial Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie,
[02:32:42] and these allegations are first reported by the Trillium and
[02:32:46] Pauli Corner. The party allegedly spent nearly 3000 in
[02:32:49] donor and taxpayer dollars on resorts in Jamaica. In a
[02:32:53] statement to CBC News, a party spokesperson confirmed
[02:32:56] quote opposition research occurred in December of 2023.
[02:32:59] The alleged surveillance took place six days after Crombie
[02:33:03] won the Liberal leadership race. My next guest was one of the
[02:33:07] reporters breaking that story. Ahmed El Bayoumi is the author
[02:33:11] of Polly Corner, and he joins me now. Thank you
[02:33:14] very much for your time.
[02:33:19] And can you tell me, so how did this come?
[02:33:22] How did you, you know, get a tip and and how did you
[02:33:26] find this out? So essentially on Monday,
[02:33:28] my colleague Jack Cowan at the Trillium reported that $3000
[02:33:32] was spent by the PC Party in Ontario on hotels in Jamaica.
[02:33:36] And a couple of days later, as journalists in this province
[02:33:40] try to figure out what these hotels were used for. Myself
[02:33:43] and my colleague Charlie Pinkerton at the Trillium,
[02:33:47] we both reported for the Trillium and for Polly Corner
[02:33:50] that the PC Party sent an operative to Jamaica in order
[02:33:54] to spy on, as is alleged by our sources,
[02:33:56] the former then Liberal leader, Bonnie Crombie. Now keep in
[02:34:00] mind, she was just elected Liberal
[02:34:02] leader. It was six days after her win that she went to
[02:34:05] Jamaica for a three day vacation. It is that. It is
[02:34:08] then when we are told that the Conservatives sent an operative
[02:34:12] to stay at the same resort that she was at to try to gather
[02:34:16] Intel about her. This is what they describe as opposition
[02:34:19] research. Oftentimes to, you know,
[02:34:21] information on a political opponent that not that might
[02:34:25] not be necessarily pleasant or or or
[02:34:29] good for them
[02:34:31] reeds on like a a movie plot at a Hollywood that Ford has
[02:34:34] reacted to the story today. Yeah. What's he saying? Well,
[02:34:38] I asked the premier explicitly why he thought that taxpayer
[02:34:41] money was it was OK for taxpayer money to be spent on
[02:34:44] an operation like this. Keep in mind,
[02:34:46] political parties in Ontario, they make their money from both
[02:34:50] donors but from also a per vote subsidy that is paid by the
[02:34:53] taxpayer. The Premier said he only found out when Polly
[02:34:56] Corner and the Trillium asked questions yesterday and that he
[02:35:00] was not aware that he does not approve of it
[02:35:02] personally, but that we should ask
[02:35:04] questions to the party. And as you said,
[02:35:06] the party in a statement this evening confirmed to us that
[02:35:10] they didn't indeed send someone to Jamaica on what they are
[02:35:14] describing as an opposition research mission.
[02:35:17] So the opposition, the Liberal Party, who were,
[02:35:20] you know, I guess the subject of this
[02:35:22] reconnaissance, what's the reaction there? Well,
[02:35:25] opposition parties are describing this as creepy,
[02:35:28] disgusting and completely inappropriate. Mart Styles,
[02:35:31] the leader of the official Opposition NDP here,
[02:35:34] she said yesterday that she thought that the buck stops
[02:35:37] with the premier, that regardless of whether he
[02:35:40] knew or whether it was, you know, a senior staffer,
[02:35:42] a junior staffer, that the premier is ultimately
[02:35:45] accountable for this. The leader of the Liberals,
[02:35:48] they said that he doesn't believe. John Fraser said that
[02:35:52] he doesn't believe that the premier is telling the truth,
[02:35:55] that the premier ought to have known that someone from his
[02:35:58] from his team was was sent to Jamaica to do this and that it
[02:36:02] crosses a line. There is in their opinion,
[02:36:05] a difference between a political operation when a
[02:36:08] politician is actively doing their job and when a politician
[02:36:11] is outside of the country on a vacation. Yeah. So that for
[02:36:15] saying that he did not know about this, he's also,
[02:36:18] I believe, saying
[02:36:19] that this is no different in his mind than when reporters
[02:36:23] follow him on trips to the US. So you've covered Queens Park
[02:36:26] for, what, four years now? Yeah. Is it different? I,
[02:36:30] I do think it is different. I think that journalists being
[02:36:33] able to follow the premier on a trip,
[02:36:36] whether he is a premier or a counselor at the time, that is,
[02:36:39] you know, where he is doing government
[02:36:42] business is very different from journalists, you know,
[02:36:45] going after the premier on a vacation. Keep in mind that
[02:36:49] this is a premier who who talks a lot about, you know,
[02:36:52] how important his personal privacy and his family's
[02:36:55] privacy is. The premier took issue years ago,
[02:36:58] I believe two or three years ago when protester protesters
[02:37:01] showed up to his house. He told them to, you know,
[02:37:04] keep the politics at Queens Park. And so the premier is
[02:37:07] ultimately now answering for why he thought that the OR why
[02:37:10] his party thought that the standard here was somewhat
[02:37:13] different For Bonnie Crombie

[02:37:18] Thanks so much for coming into studio to talk to us. Thanks for having me.
[02:40:58] Montreal police are utilizing AI to help with its
[02:41:00] investigations. The tech and the way it's being used could
[02:41:03] change policing in the city moving forward. The SPVM has
[02:41:06] made it very clear they're interested in it to this
[02:41:09] technology. They're deploying this technology. A surveillance
[02:41:13] camera similar to Flock in the United States is here. It's
[02:41:16] called the Cloud Runner CRH 2 from Montreal based company
[02:41:19] Genentech. It scans license plates but can also identify
[02:41:22] the colour, make and model of vehicles. But
[02:41:25] unlike Flock, the information can only be accessed by its operator.
[02:41:29] The camera is one part of a larger software that uses AI to
[02:41:33] detect and identify vehicles. But the company says privacy is
[02:41:37] carefully monitored and that data can't be tampered with as
[02:41:40] every interaction with it is logged. You should have an
[02:41:44] expectation of reasonable privacy. However, as I said,
[02:41:47] it's a trade off. If the threat of something bad happening is
[02:41:52] high, as a community we need to say
[02:41:54] what are we comfortable with giving up? In a statement,
[02:41:57] the SPBM says that it's only using the cloud
[02:42:00] and her camera for a specific investigation and that other
[02:42:04] similar cameras could be added in the future. It is connected
[02:42:08] to the wireless network, so the cellular network. And so
[02:42:12] footage that it collects, just watching traffic,
[02:42:15] watching whatever goes on outside is then sent to,
[02:42:18] you know, a cloud service. And then
[02:42:20] artificial intelligence is used to analyze those that that
[02:42:24] footage. The SPM is also using another software called imotion
[02:42:28] Roc. It's an American software from Rank One
[02:42:31] Computing. It uses AI to track certain characteristics,
[02:42:35] among other things. It's currently on 46 urban security
[02:42:39] cameras and can even work on video collected by officers
[02:42:43] with citizen consent or warrant. Rock's ability is to look up to
[02:42:48] 8 different attributes at once. So the ability to go rapidly
[02:42:52] and look at different images, all the images at normal speed
[02:42:57] and analyze the footage so you can find something specific.
[02:43:01] Though the software has real time biometric tracking
[02:43:04] capabilities, VBM says it wouldn't use those
[02:43:07] features. It says it would focus on elements detectives
[02:43:10] already know. And we'll look for visual attributes like
[02:43:14] clothing. An internal privacy impact assessment by the SPVM
[02:43:17] obtained by CBC News acknowledges the technology
[02:43:20] poses civil liberties risks. They mentioned that it could
[02:43:23] put innocent third parties under investigation and the
[02:43:26] risk of discrimination based on visible social characteristics.
[02:43:30] This lawyer says the right to privacy is fundamental.
[02:43:33] And if we're using AI to organize, to treat, to analyze,
[02:43:39] make decisions or projections based on this data,
[02:43:45] you, the individual will lose
[02:43:47] control over is his privacy. At least in the public domain. The
[02:43:51] city's public records show a $17,
[02:43:53] 000 contract to obtain 4 Cloud Runner units over the
[02:43:56] subscription of one year. CBC News reached out to the city
[02:44:00] and asked if it had submitted a bid to obtain the Cloud Runner
[02:44:04] cameras, and it said it didn't. Levy
[02:44:06] says these technologies could be abused by law enforcement
[02:44:10] and that's why it's important for cities to be as transparent
[02:44:13] as possible. Every time
[02:44:15] camera pops up in public use without any explanation for why
[02:44:19] it's there, it's reasonable for members of
[02:44:21] the public to ask questions, why is it being used,
[02:44:24] Who is using it? What is it being used for?
[02:44:27] How are my rights being protected?
[02:44:29] Says policymakers have to catch up and set limitations on how
[02:44:33] AI technology can be used in public.

[02:46:21] It's a common sight on summer nights,
[02:46:23] kids and teens racing around on E scooters hitting 40 to 60
[02:46:27] kilometers or more. This 12 year old boy was left with a
[02:46:31] fractured skull after crashing without a helmet. There was a
[02:46:35] possibility he would not make it. Crystal Dunkley's son Sean
[02:46:39] was in a coma for a week last summer and spent more than a
[02:46:43] month in hospital. He eventually made a full recovery
[02:46:47] and now reminds others to wear a helmet. He has tried to turn
[02:46:51] a tragedy. This is something
[02:46:55] positive.
[02:46:57] Canadian doctors say more kids are getting seriously injured,
[02:47:01] even dying, in E scooter accidents. A new
[02:47:04] survey of pediatricians suggests there were 10 deaths,
[02:47:08] 12 ICU admissions and 26 hospitalizations lasting more
[02:47:12] than two days, all linked to E scooter crashes
[02:47:15] in just one year. These devices are often marketed as toys,
[02:47:19] and I will tell you they're anything but toys.
[02:47:24] Sick Kids in Toronto is among the hospitals seeing a spike in
[02:47:27] injuries from two dozen cases in 2023 to more than 100 last
[02:47:31] year. And this year we're likely on target for more than
[02:47:34] that. So we're just seeing a complete exponential rise in
[02:47:38] the number of kids we're seeing in any injury. And so it
[02:47:41] follows that more severe injuries will also increase
[02:47:45] that kind of this a similar rate. E scooters are illegal
[02:47:48] for most Canadians under 16, but we're not seeing
[02:47:51] enforcement of age. We're not seeing enforcement
[02:47:54] of double riding. Helmet wear is not enforced.
[02:48:00] The 18 year old son of former Canadian Prime Minister Justin
[02:48:04] Trudeau skipped any head protection for a back to school
[02:48:07] E scooter ad this week. I would say this is the Rolls Royce of
[02:48:11] scooters. Prompting his mom to ask where's your helmet?
[02:48:15] Xavier Trudeau quickly posted an apology,
[02:48:18] saying safety is the most important thing. With a
[02:48:21] patchwork of local bylaws across much of the country,
[02:48:25] doctors worry more young riders will remain at risk. Lauren

[02:53:08] This scene outside Calgary Saddledome,
[02:53:10] a bit of a summer trend. Thousands of fans left waiting
[02:53:14] for hours for a Neo and Akon concert that started two hours
[02:53:17] late. You couldn't even get to your seats. They weren't
[02:53:20] letting people. Everyone's just sitting in the concourse.
[02:53:25] A brief apology from the stage, but no compensation. Amandeep
[02:53:30] Walia says between 2:00 tickets, extending a babysitter and food,
[02:53:34] he spent around $700.00 for the experience. We should have got
[02:53:38] a 30% rebate or you know, a 40% credit towards the next
[02:53:42] show from Ticketmaster in New York City,
[02:53:45] a different artist. But another delay when a Jay-Z show started
[02:53:49] 4 hours late came about 12/12/15. But it was it was it
[02:53:53] was definitely a show to remember.
[02:53:57] Risers blamed non ticket holders who stormed the
[02:54:00] entrances, creating security issues. 10,
[02:54:02] 000 people outside. I don't wanna stop using. People get
[02:54:06] trampled, so I know
[02:54:09] convenience. Experts say ticket holders don't have many rights,
[02:54:13] even when shows run hours behind. Most concert ticket
[02:54:16] contracts are written to give promoters considerable
[02:54:20] flexibility if schedules change. But consumer advocates say
[02:54:24] concert promoters should be transparent with ticket holders
[02:54:28] about any schedule changes. It might be worthwhile trying to
[02:54:32] legislate for some sort of rights similar to when you have
[02:54:36] a flight and if your flight is delayed by two or three hours,
[02:54:40] you have the right to a refund. Live Nation Canada says it
[02:54:44] understands delays can be frustrating but adds live
[02:54:47] events are complex and involve many moving parts and despite
[02:54:50] extensive planning, unforeseen circumstances can
[02:54:53] sometimes arise. Frustrate me the most was if they were to
[02:54:57] start on time, we would have got that full
[02:55:00] experience
[02:55:02] and experience Walia and his wife had been looking forward
[02:55:06] to for months. Ina Sidhu, CBC News, Calgary.
[02:56:41] inspiring. The cost of the games is just over three and a
[02:59:59] interesting. All you need are some of these skills. Yeah.
[03:00:02] Exactly. Sandra Abma, CBC News, Ottawa.
[03:00:30] Canada U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc met with U.S.
[03:00:32] Trade Representative Jameson Greer in Washington as pressure
[03:00:36] to get a new trade deal ratchets up even higher.
[03:00:41] He rejected any proposals by the US
[03:00:44] about that. LeBlanc keeping radio silence on a possible
[03:00:48] deadlock despite the looming deadline. New potentially
[03:00:52] devastating 50% US tariffs on a wide range of Canadian goods
[03:00:56] are just days from snapping into place. But at least one
