[00:00:00] he sexy part of firefighting,
[00:00:04] there's a lot of other things that we need to consider with
[00:00:10] the ongoing threat that we're seeing from wildfires today,
[00:00:16] the federal government is considering whether to launch a
[00:00:19] national fleet of modern firefighting aircraft. It's one
[00:00:22] of the recommendations from a Senate report released in June.
[00:00:26] For now, the federal government says
[00:00:28] it's in close contact with the provinces and territories to
[00:00:31] coordinate efforts and identify the best ways to support one
[00:00:35] another in the face of the growing impacts of wildfires.
[00:00:41] If production at Dehaviland does not take off to meet
[00:00:44] growing demand, there is a risk foreign
[00:00:46] companies or countries could develop their own rival
[00:00:49] firefighting aircraft. Whether it's China, whether it's Russia,
[00:00:53] whether it's France, whether it's the UK,
[00:00:55] whether it's Greece, whoever they're going to,
[00:00:58] they're going to come out and they're going to move fast and
[00:01:01] furious.
[00:01:05] The warning comes at a time when the federal government
[00:01:08] wants to improve the national economy and bolster domestic
[00:01:12] manufacturing. For to havlin, that risk is real. We're always
[00:01:15] watching what our competitors are doing. We have the best
[00:01:19] aircraft, we have the best scooping
[00:01:21] aircraft in the world, bar none. We've had it for 60
[00:01:24] years, but having it for another 60
[00:01:26] years is not guaranteed. For now, as wildfires rage,
[00:01:29] the pressure continues to build on the company and the
[00:01:33] political leaders desperate for new super scoopers to arrive.
[00:03:47] WestJet has settled A lawsuit launched by more than 3400 of
[00:03:50] its female employees.
[00:03:53] It began more than 10 years ago when flight attendant Mandolina
[00:03:57] Lewis alleged she had been sexually assaulted by a WestJet
[00:04:01] pilot while on a layover to Hawaii. This has been like hell
[00:04:04] for me. Obviously, it's been a nightmare. More
[00:04:07] flight attendants came forward and the case became a class
[00:04:11] action alleging WestJet failed to maintain a safe workplace
[00:04:15] free from harassment. WestJet
[00:04:18] really made it difficult for us in this last decade. It's
[00:04:22] really a matter of
[00:04:25] fighting Goliath and and getting, you know,
[00:04:28] slivers of justice. Now, both sides say a judge has
[00:04:31] approved the settlement, which states WestJet will pay
[00:04:35] four and a half million dollars. Lewis and her lawyers say after
[00:04:39] legal fees and other costs, each claimant will receive an
[00:04:43] estimated 470 dollars. I'm glad this is over.
[00:04:47] I'm glad we set a legal precedent.
[00:04:49] I'm not glad with the number. I don't think it's enough. I
[00:04:53] don't think it's enough. In a statement,
[00:04:55] WestJet said it is pleased to have reached a mutually agreed
[00:04:59] upon settlement and that it is committed to strengthening our
[00:05:03] operations and training. According to the settlement,
[00:05:06] the airline will hire a third party to assess the prevalence
[00:05:10] of harassment in the workplace, and WestJet does not admit to
[00:05:14] any liability or wrongdoing. There's no structural change
[00:05:18] required, right? W jets not required
[00:05:20] to implement any training, I think. Not surprising,
[00:05:23] but also disappointing. Louis no longer works at WestJet,
[00:05:27] but she warns harassment of female flight attendants is
[00:05:31] deep rooted across the entire industry. There's an issue of
[00:05:34] fear. Speaking about this openly,
[00:05:36] I took it on because I knew what a huge problem it was.
[00:05:42] I did it for myself and I did it for other flight attendants.
[00:05:45] While this case is closed, it's a fight that may not be
[00:05:49] over. Nisha Patel, CBC News, Toronto.
[00:05:54] A pro Alberta separation group has revealed the draft of her
[00:05:57] proposed Alberta Constitution, but it's been overshadowed by
[00:06:01] one of the speakers using a racial slur and introduced the
[00:06:04] new Alberta Bill of Rights. In the video posted live on August
[00:06:08] 13th from Airdrie, Mitchell Vester of the Alberta
[00:06:11] Prosperity Project presents to a group off screen referring to
[00:06:15] a draft as the foundation of freedom. And this is an outline
[00:06:18] of what a constitution could look like for a new Alberta. He
[00:06:22] later introduces Ian Parkinson
[00:06:24] who was involved in that draft. Parkinson speaks on a portion
[00:06:28] of the presentation labeled as rights and freedoms. Every
[00:06:33] citizen has the right to life, liberty and security or to the
[00:06:38] person your own security. Not some flip flop towel.
[00:06:42] They did. Police officer who doesn't even speak Canadian.
[00:06:47] OK,
[00:06:49] That comment was then condemned by Albertans on both sides of
[00:06:53] the separation debate. The fact that a racist comment did draw
[00:06:56] warm applause from an audience of folks who were there to hear
[00:06:59] about the future of the province suggests that the
[00:07:02] movement has has some work to do. If they want to project
[00:07:04] themselves as being more inclusive than than the events
[00:07:07] on the 13th floor there
[00:07:11] by some of the language that was used,
[00:07:14] particularly the racist language and the derogatory
[00:07:17] language, it's nothing that reflects my
[00:07:20] values and I condemn it unequivocally. In 24 hours
[00:07:23] after the comment was made, Sylvester issued a statement
[00:07:27] saying there is room in the movement for strong opinions
[00:07:31] and disagreement, but not for disparaging
[00:07:33] people's articles of faith or cultural identity.
[00:07:37] Sylvester confirms Parkinson will no longer participate in
[00:07:41] the group's events. Travis McEwen, CBC News, Edmonton.
[00:07:48] Alberta schools were supposed to face new restrictions on
[00:07:50] what flags they can fly starting September 1st. Now
[00:07:53] those rules are on hold. The legislation passed last spring
[00:07:56] says schools can only display the Canadian and Alberta flags.
[00:07:59] This could mean no pride flags or flags representing other
[00:08:03] countries or communities. Schools would also have to play
[00:08:06] O Canada once a week and the education minister would get
[00:08:09] the power to name or rename any public school. All three
[00:08:12] changes were supposed to take effect in just a few weeks,
[00:08:16] but now the province is not yet. We are taking a thoughtful and measured
[00:08:20] approach to implementation to ensure these changes are
[00:08:23] introduced effectively and that education partners have the
[00:08:26] support they need to successfully transition to the
[00:08:29] new requirements. The Education Minister's Office says
[00:08:32] consultations are still underway. The opposition says
[00:08:35] the government is focused on the wrong priorities. NDP
[00:08:38] education critic Amanda Chapman says parents are worried about
[00:08:41] crowded classrooms and staffing, not the flags hanging in
[00:08:45] schools. What teachers want to do is to create a space
[00:08:48] where all students are going to feel comfortable in the
[00:08:51] classroom. Alberta Teachers Association president Jason
[00:08:54] Schilling says there shouldn't be limits on hanging flags from
[00:08:58] other nations, Indigenous communities or pride
[00:09:01] flags. We're going to see schools are safe and caring
[00:09:04] spaces for all students. Then we should be able to display
[00:09:07] flags that reflect every student that's in within that
[00:09:10] school, within that community. There's
[00:09:13] no new date for the flag, anthem or school naming rules,
[00:09:16] but other changes are still coming September 1st.
[00:09:19] They include a student code of conduct emphasizing an
[00:09:23] intolerance for violence and a rule preventing school
[00:09:26] divisions from taking official positions on political,
[00:09:29] social or ideological beliefs. Janet French, CBC News,
[00:09:32] Edmonton.
[00:09:35] Staffing shortages, funding cuts,
[00:09:37] crumbling infrastructure. Unions representing teachers
[00:09:40] and school support staff are making their concerns known in
[00:09:44] the run up to Quebec's provincial election. They say
[00:09:47] education should be a priority for politicians and they're
[00:09:51] making some demands. According to Quebec's Ministry of
[00:09:54] Education dashboard, there are currently 3132
[00:09:57] teacher vacancies in the province. That's an improvement
[00:10:00] from this time last year when more than 4000 positions needed
[00:10:04] to be filled.
[00:10:06] But unions say neither your accounts for the shortage of
[00:10:09] support staff, technical aides for specialized
[00:10:12] education or administrative positions. We have a lot of
[00:10:16] vacant positions, so we need the money to hire
[00:10:19] people and we need stability. If you say to especially the
[00:10:23] support staff, they don't have all full time
[00:10:27] jobs, so we need stability to attract
[00:10:29] them. Only three,
[00:10:33] it's not on the could be on the registry. The unions are asking
[00:10:37] for more stable funding across all levels of education from
[00:10:40] kindergarten to university and for the next government to
[00:10:44] invest in the public school system and to stop subsidizing
[00:10:47] private schools. Parents are also speaking up. The
[00:10:50] association representing English parents in Quebec says
[00:10:53] the consequences of staff shortages and funding cuts on
[00:10:57] students are considerable. We've noticed teachers that are
[00:11:00] missing. We notice a teachers that are not
[00:11:04] qualified to teach that are there, you know,
[00:11:06] teaching but that don't necessarily have the skills.
[00:11:10] We've seen the impact on mental health, on students, stress,
[00:11:13] anxiety and we've seen parents trying their best and really
[00:11:17] being at their wits end. Karakas says parents want to
[00:11:20] know how these issues will be addressed in the upcoming
[00:11:23] school year and beyond. Her association has sent a list of
[00:11:27] questions to every political party with a deadline of
[00:11:30] September to answer. She says their responses will be posted
[00:11:34] online help inform voters in the upcoming election.
[00:13:39] It's a common sight on summer nights,
[00:13:42] kids and teens racing around on E scooters hitting 40 to 60
[00:13:46] kilometers or more. This 12 year old boy was left with a
[00:13:50] fractured skull after crashing without a helmet. There was a
[00:13:54] possibility he would not make it. Crystal Dunkley's son Sean
[00:13:58] was in a coma for a week last summer and spent more than a
[00:14:02] month in hospital. He eventually made a full recovery
[00:14:05] and now reminds others to wear a helmet. He has tried to turn
[00:14:09] a tragedy. This is something
[00:14:13] positive.
[00:14:15] Canadian doctors say more kids are getting seriously injured,
[00:14:20] even dying, in E scooter accidents. A new
[00:14:23] survey of pediatricians suggests there were 10 deaths,
[00:14:26] 12 ICU admissions and 26 hospitalizations lasting more
[00:14:30] than two days, all linked to E scooter crashes
[00:14:34] in just one year. These devices are often marketed as toys,
[00:14:38] and I will tell you they're anything but toys.
[00:14:42] Sick Kids in Toronto is among the hospitals seeing a spike in
[00:14:46] injuries from two dozen cases in 2023 to more than 100 last
[00:14:50] year. And this year we're likely on target for more than
[00:14:53] that. So we're just seeing a complete exponential rise in
[00:14:57] the number of kids we're seeing in any injury. And so it
[00:15:00] follows that more severe injuries will also increase
[00:15:03] that kind of this a similar rate. E scooters are illegal
[00:15:07] for most Canadians under 16, but we're not seeing
[00:15:10] enforcement of age. We're not seeing enforcement
[00:15:13] of double riding. Helmet wear is not enforced.
[00:15:18] The 18 year old son of former Canadian Prime Minister Justin
[00:15:22] Trudeau skipped any head protection for a back to school
[00:15:26] E scooter ad this week. I would say this is the Rolls Royce of
[00:15:30] scooters. Prompting his mom to ask where's your helmet?
[00:15:34] Xavier Trudeau quickly posted an apology,
[00:15:36] saying safety is the most important thing. With a
[00:15:40] patchwork of local bylaws across much of the country,
[00:15:43] doctors worry more young riders will remain at risk. Lauren
[00:15:47] Pelley, CBC News, Toronto.
[00:15:51] Women and Gender Equality Minister Leila Evans announced
[00:15:55] a boost in the province's fertility subsidy program. We
[00:15:58] as a government are committed to the residence of
[00:16:02] Newfoundland Labrador who want to have a family and this is
[00:16:06] the path forward. It's so, so important for us. That bombs
[00:16:10] the funding from $20 000 to $29, 000,
[00:16:12] and this extra $9000 covers services like IVF,
[00:16:15] frozen embryo transfers and donor egg cycles,
[00:16:18] among others. In Budget
[00:16:21] 26 we've increased the fertility services
[00:16:27] subsidy and we increased it by 1.8 million and what that does
[00:16:31] is allow each patient to have access to a up to twenty $29,
[00:16:36] 000. Advocates and doctors have long pushed to improve
[00:16:41] fertility services and make them more accessible. Fertility
[00:16:45] specialists Dr. Sean and Doctor Deanna Murphy took it upon
[00:16:50] themselves to open a full service IVF clinic in the
[00:16:54] province. Dr. Deanna Murphy says
[00:16:57] this new funding is a major step towards making that happen.
[00:17:01] Ultimate goal for us would be to offer to treatment here in
[00:17:04] Newfoundland and traveling for IVF treatment is still quite
[00:17:08] stressful being away from your support system,
[00:17:10] but I think it's a great step forward in allowing the the
[00:17:14] treatments to come here. Long time fertility advocate Lydon
[00:17:17] Willan says the increase is a good step,
[00:17:19] but more still needs to be done. I think having the money up
[00:17:23] front for a lot of people would make a big difference. Again,
[00:17:27] applying for money
[00:17:28] to get back in a few months, it's not accessible to the
[00:17:31] majority of people who are the age that they want to have kids.
[00:17:34] We definitely need IVF and the fertility services here. It
[00:17:38] just seems like it's being pushed further and further. You
[00:17:41] can say you're committing, but until we actually see like
[00:17:44] a date to be opened, I won't fully believe it that
[00:17:47] it'll be accessible soon. Minister Evans says that the
[00:17:50] province is still committed to working with doctors to
[00:17:53] establish a full service IVF clinic in the province and that
[00:17:57] this investment will help in making that
[00:17:59] happen. Max Bacco, CBC News, St. John's.
[00:18:05] And I walked for an hour and a half just to like,
[00:18:06] regulate it. Sharika Sadaf says after the mental health
[00:18:10] challenges she experienced with her first born baby,
[00:18:13] she wanted to take steps to ensure she was better supported
[00:18:16] during her second pregnancy. I let them know that I had
[00:18:20] postpartum depression before and I was actually very,
[00:18:23] very scared about what would happen this time. And they
[00:18:26] immediately told me about the perinatal mental health program.
[00:18:30] And within a week I got a referral. Michael Garron
[00:18:33] Hospital
[00:18:35] says its Women's Reproductive Mental Health Program provides
[00:18:37] mental health supports to pregnant women both at the
[00:18:41] hospital and now in the community. They say the
[00:18:44] Midwives Clinic of East York Don Mills has become the first
[00:18:47] midwifery clinic in the province to offer access to an
[00:18:51] on-site psychiatrist. Sadaf said for her,
[00:18:53] it made a world of difference. We came up with a game plan
[00:18:57] about what to do during postpartum and I've, I've, I've,
[00:19:01] I feel so, so much better. I wish I had this kind of
[00:19:05] report back during my first pregnancy. Staff say the
[00:19:07] program has lowered wait times for an initial appointment from
[00:19:11] 6 to 9 months to only 27 days on average,
[00:19:13] with appointments reserved every week for those who need
[00:19:16] care sooner, keeping them out of emergency
[00:19:19] departments. The recipe for anxiety is like fear plus the
[00:19:22] unknown, and that's the perinatal year.
[00:19:25] It's like the most vulnerable time in a person's life for
[00:19:28] mental health, one of the most. When I speak
[00:19:31] first see people in the office around 12 to 16 weeks,
[00:19:34] I asked them
[00:19:35] with their health history and that includes a health
[00:19:38] screening tool for mental health and based on the score
[00:19:42] for that or just based on my conversation with the client,
[00:19:45] we'll decide who's an appropriate referrals. And
[00:19:49] there's a rising need for this type of support. Experts say
[00:19:53] perinatal mood and anxiety disorders affect up to 20% of
[00:19:56] pregnant women, but the majority of them remain
[00:19:59] untreated, undiagnosed, unscreened and. Perinatal mood
[00:20:03] and anxiety disorders can affect
[00:20:06] maternal
[00:20:08] health, obstetric outcome, infants development and the
[00:20:12] whole family well-being staff say by integrating mental
[00:20:16] healthcare into the community, the goal is to lower stigma and
[00:20:21] increase the likelihood that pregnant women get the mental
[00:20:26] health support they need when they need it. So patients come
[00:20:30] to one clinic and they receive both medical perinatal and
[00:20:35] psychiatric care. They feel more comfortable and
[00:20:38] at ease when they are in a community setting compared to
[00:20:42] hospitals. This should be available to every mother
[00:20:46] because it really changes the game and once a mother starts
[00:20:51] enjoying their motherhood, only then a child enjoys their
[00:20:55] childhood. Italia Ricci. CBC News Toronto.
[00:23:08] Inundated with donations of used clothes,
[00:23:11] charity thrift stores are having to send more and more to
[00:23:15] the landfill. Clothes really shouldn't go in the dumpster,
[00:23:18] but there's just so many clothes being generated now
[00:23:22] with fast fashion. OK, so at this store in suburban
[00:23:25] Halifax, this is a fraction of donations
[00:23:28] waiting to be sorted. The store manager says she used to be
[00:23:32] able to sell the excess to other charities. They would
[00:23:35] sell some to for profit stores like Value Village
[00:23:39] and some might be exported to another country. But six months
[00:23:42] ago the charities stopped buying because there's just too
[00:23:45] much in the work that I've done nationally. We've seen it coast
[00:23:49] to coast. This used clothing expert says the same problem is
[00:23:52] hitting charity thrift stores across Canada. Through the
[00:23:55] system that we have created, I think it's worked really well
[00:23:59] for many, many years. The real problem is
[00:24:01] just that we need to turn off the tap ultimately.
[00:24:05] The National Diabetes Trust collects used clothing from
[00:24:09] donation bins. Until recently, it would also buy from charity
[00:24:13] thrift stores, but it stopped doing that in
[00:24:16] Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Nova
[00:24:19] Scotia, citing changing market
[00:24:21] conditions that have affected inventory levels and processing
[00:24:25] capacity. Another big player, Value Village,
[00:24:30] is shifting away from buying from charities. The thrift
[00:24:33] giant would not do an interview, but in its annual reports,
[00:24:37] it says half its stock used to be bought from charities. Now
[00:24:42] nearly 80% comes through direct donations. One used clothing
[00:24:46] exporter says pressure is mounting on the international
[00:24:50] used clothing market. Under pressure. Also in a really thin
[00:24:54] margined, you know, it's a low value commodity.
[00:24:57] Bethel says inflation
[00:24:59] in global unrest are driving up the cost of exporting used
[00:25:02] clothes. Plus, some countries are adding taxes
[00:25:05] to try to slow the stream. Genge says the only real
[00:25:09] solution is policy. It's legislation,
[00:25:11] it's regulation that needs to come into play to to address
[00:25:15] that.
[00:25:17] We'd like to see more textile recycling and for manufacturers
[00:25:21] of new clothes to face the burden of disposal. Taryn Grant,
[00:25:25] CBC News, Halifax.
[00:25:29] Get a look at these young fashionistas.
[00:25:32] It's Fashion Camp at the Richard Robinson Design Academy,
[00:25:37] a perfect fit for youngsters who dream of becoming style
[00:25:41] icons. It's so fun to be creative and fashion is just my
[00:25:45] thing, you know? I really like very sparkly
[00:25:48] things, playing with materials, coming up with their own
[00:25:52] designs. It's all part of fashion camp. I've always just
[00:25:57] really, I have been, I've always just really like,
[00:26:00] love fashion. I've always take time to pick out my outfits
[00:26:05] and I love to dress over the top. Any accessories I can add,
[00:26:08] I just add them. Trust me, she loves fashion. Loving
[00:26:12] fashion came early for these trendsetters. Drawing clothes,
[00:26:16] designing them, I've always like had a thing
[00:26:19] for like creating them. Like when I was younger I used to
[00:26:23] take like old clothes and stuff and make them into clothes for
[00:26:27] my stuffed animals and stuff. This atelier is set up for ages
[00:26:31] 7 to 10A hands on introduction to fashion design,
[00:26:34] sewing skills and fashion drawing. Today they're making
[00:26:38] masks
[00:26:39] with colour sequins and fringes and who better to lead them
[00:26:42] into the magical world of fashion than a teacher dressed
[00:26:46] as a fairy? For me, fashion is about like play and
[00:26:50] trying different things and dressing up like a fairy and
[00:26:54] just do as much as you possibly can and the breadth of your
[00:26:58] imagination and I want to show the kids how to do that through
[00:27:02] these skills. Sewing machines are buzzing at the cap for 11
[00:27:06] to 15 year olds and designs are more cutting edge. I made
[00:27:10] a skirt. It's an eighth line skirt with an asymmetrical
[00:27:14] hemline. As you can see, some of these style mavens are
[00:27:18] learning. It makes good dollars and cents to be able to sew. I
[00:27:22] love going out and buying clothes,
[00:27:24] but of course it cost. So if I am able to learn how to sew and
[00:27:28] make my own clothes, then that would be much easier.
[00:27:32] Others are giving their imagination free range. I made
[00:27:35] this McDonald's
[00:27:38] fry and it has this very long fry. This is my favorite
[00:27:41] projects that I've made.
[00:27:44] I'm just gonna put it on. You look just like a banana. Thank
[00:27:48] you. They're learning that anything is possible,
[00:27:51] from trendy hats to baby doll dresses to a rainbow bouquet of
[00:27:54] flowers. There's not really any rules with fashion. You can
[00:27:58] create anything, combine any textures,
[00:28:00] any colours, and people can still, like,
[00:28:03] get the concept and the idea. And I think that's really
[00:28:06] interesting. All you need are some of these skills. Yeah.
[00:28:10] Exactly. Sandra Abma, CBC News, Ottawa.
[00:28:15] If you're ready to find the love of your life,
[00:28:17] Love is blind. It's the dating reality show that's become a
[00:28:21] cultural phenomenon worldwide. Now it's setting its sights on
[00:28:26] Canada, calling for people to apply it
[00:28:28] right away. The original US show is 10 seasons in all,
[00:28:32] built around one question. Is love really blind?
[00:28:36] Single strangers are paired up in separate pods. They talk,
[00:28:40] they date, some even get engaged. All this
[00:28:43] before seeing each other.
[00:28:45] Now it's Canada's turn. It's just like the toughest place to
[00:28:48] date. And I'm like, thank God it finally came here.
[00:28:51] The show has had plenty of spinoffs. There's Love is Blind,
[00:28:55] Brazil, Mexico and Japan, to name a few. But having a
[00:28:58] Canadian version of a US romance reality series comes
[00:29:01] with its challenges, says this executive producer
[00:29:04] who worked on The Bachelor Canada. As a Canadian producer
[00:29:08] is you're often not working with the same budget and
[00:29:11] support. There's a different culture here, even if you expect,
[00:29:15] In my experience, I haven't seen the same level
[00:29:18] as I would in an American version. But Canadians on US
[00:29:22] dating shows do bring the drama. They've been on shows from Too
[00:29:26] Hot to Handle to Perfect Match and The Bachelorette. The
[00:29:30] timing is right for more, says this pop culture writer.
[00:29:33] Canada is very clearly having a moment in media and in pop
[00:29:37] culture. You know, we have a former Prime Minister
[00:29:40] who's dating an international pop star. We have shows like
[00:29:44] Heated Rivalry
[00:29:46] that have become really successful. It's also, you know,
[00:29:49] makes sense that now would be the time with all of this going
[00:29:54] on that Netflix would finally make the foray into Canada for
[00:29:58] For love is blind. But is love truly blind and does it last?
[00:30:02] In all, 55 couples came together on the
[00:30:05] US show, but only a handful, 8 remained together. Still,
[00:30:09] romantics don't seem fazed. I really hope I get I get to be
[00:30:13] part of it. No word yet on When
[00:30:16] Love Is Blind Canada will begin filming. Mahdi Gebrselassie,

[00:30:30] Hi, I'm Michelle Gaub. Communities
[00:30:32] across Canada are facing a deeply complex and growing drug
[00:30:35] crisis, one that continues to evolve
[00:30:38] and touch the lives of people in every region of the country.
[00:30:41] Over the next hour, we'll take a closer look at
[00:30:44] stories revealing how this crisis is shaping our
[00:30:48] healthcare system, straining housing,
[00:30:50] challenging policing, and impacting families. We
[00:30:53] begin by examining some of the underlying causes and the far
[00:30:57] reaching consequences of a crisis with no easy solution.
