[00:43:08] turn to CBC News. Power and politics, the scale of the crisis and
[00:43:12] chaos and a day like this. We gotta get to the power panel
[00:43:15] early. Experts and party insiders break it all down.
[00:43:17] This is a shift in the Liberal position. And then the Tories
[00:43:20] are just left to say, well, you're not moving fast and
[00:43:23] making sense of our world. Conditions have gotten pretty
[00:43:26] bad and they look like they're gonna get worse. Can't now walk
[00:43:29] that back because governing is a lot harder than campaigning.
[00:43:32] He's a drag on his own party, extremely difficult choices.
[00:43:35] The Power Panel on power and politics with David Cochrane, weekdays on CBC News.
[00:43:41] Odds on the prize, I'll say passionate. I got the
[00:43:44] sauce. Like Diana, vision, like medicine. They say
[00:43:47] patience is a virtue. So I went around the world and back again
[00:43:51] now and watch the NFL all season long on CBC and CBC Gem.
[00:56:25] The news doesn't sleep. We are here to help you hit the ground
[00:56:28] running. Your news, your weather,
[00:56:30] your morning. Good Morning Canada. CBC Morning Live with David.
[00:56:35] I can't really explain it, but something inside is telling
[00:56:39] me this is my time.
[00:56:42] There's no waiting for tomorrow, no such thing. I've got to show
[00:56:47] everyone how great I am. There's a place in history
[00:56:51] waiting for me.
[00:56:53] You don't know who I am.
[00:56:58] Just watch the Diamond League. Watch all season on CBC and CBC
[00:57:03] Jail. Now to some breaking news. Are you a trade deal?
[00:57:07] The world moves fast. We're gathering at one of those
[00:57:09] turning points in history. But a headline isn't the whole
[00:57:12] story. That would allow Putin to have his way without having
[00:57:15] to use force. We don't just report the news. Which outlet
[00:57:18] are you with? The Canadian public broadcast.
[00:57:20] We connect the dots. Is it about stopping drugs?
[00:57:22] Donald Trump has never met a hydrocarbon. He didn't cover it.
[00:57:26] If the facts that matter, why is that your focus right
[00:57:28] now? From the source, you can trust the National Canada's newscast.
[00:57:38] Hi there, Canada.
[00:57:39] Hi Siri,
[00:57:42] How are you holding up?
[00:57:47] It's been difficult to say the least.
[00:57:51] I intend to resign as party leader, as Prime Minister.
[00:57:56] The funny, not so funny thing about the
[00:57:59] world right now
[00:58:01] is the thing that can consume your thoughts
[00:58:04] is the thing you maybe didn't see coming.
[00:58:08] My favorite word? Tariff
[00:58:11] is going to be cracking down. Minimum 10% tariff on all
[00:58:14] imports. Some contracts are already getting cancelled.
[00:58:18] Facing a potential 25 or even 50% tariff on steel exports.
[00:58:21] We're already hearing about layoffs. Feeling the financial
[00:58:24] pain of Canada's 25% counter tariffs. He believes that
[00:58:28] Canadians would benefit greatly from becoming the 51st state
[00:58:31] when our sovereignty is threatened.
[00:58:34] You do what you can. He is trying to break us. So you have
[00:58:38] questions. How should Canadians be preparing for that next trip?
[00:58:42] What is your plan? How seriously are you taking
[00:58:45] this threat of 100% tariffs on foreign made films?
[00:58:48] A lot of questions. How is Hamilton bracing for tariff
[00:58:51] impact? When we talk about counter
[00:58:53] terrorists, do those affect you? How much does it cost to be
[00:58:57] patriotic when picking items at the grocery store?
[00:59:00] And while your elbows have been up, elbows up.
[00:59:05] For us, it's the sleeves rolled up.
[00:59:07] Because you need answers about your neighborhood, your world,
[00:59:11] your Canada,
[00:59:14] and what it means for all of us to say we are Canadian.
[00:59:22] Our journalists countrywide and all over the world are on the
[00:59:26] case.
[00:59:28] Do you think you're gonna have to close?
[00:59:31] I hate to think about that.
[00:59:39] I'm about 15 kilometers from the Russian border. Where are
[00:59:43] Canada's allies? Where are Canada's markets?
[00:59:46] What is this country's place on the planet?
[00:59:48] It's the uncertainty that's the
[00:59:50] this issue. What is the next thing to happen and what will
[00:59:55] it mean for all of us? We assume that it will be a
[00:59:59] difficult Rd. Canada. We got you and we are right there
[01:00:03] right beside you trying to make sense of it with you.
[01:00:25] I'm Adrian Arsenal, chief correspondent for CBC
[01:00:27] News. We are on the ground taking you to where the story
[01:00:31] is happening, giving you the Canadian
[01:00:33] perspective on world events. This is CBC News.

[01:05:16] ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY HE HAS PLANS FOR ANY SITUATION THAT
[01:05:18] PLANS FOR ANY SITUATION THAT MAY ARISE.
[01:05:21] MAY ARISE. MAYBE AT SOME POINT IT WILL
[01:05:24] MAYBE AT SOME POINT IT WILL SINK IN THIS TRADE WAR CANNOT SINK IN THIS TRADE WAR CANNOT KEEP GOING THE WAY IT HAS
[01:05:28] KEEP GOING THE WAY IT HAS BECAUSE IT'S HURTING EVERYONE. BECAUSE IT'S HURTING EVERYONE. NOT SURE IF WE'RE AT THAT P
[01:05:34] A symbol of Canada and a target of looming tariffs,
[01:05:38] hockey sticks shipped to the US are set to be slapped with a
[01:05:42] new 50% import fee, along with a wide range of
[01:05:45] other Canadian goods from liquor to toilet paper. We have
[01:05:49] a free trade agreement in place that eliminates this type of
[01:05:53] erratic behavior, so it's extremely frustrating.
[01:05:56] No matter the existing trade deal on Wednesday,
[01:06:00] the tariffs are slated to hit much of the gear Joey Walsh
[01:06:04] sells. He plans to absorb those
[01:06:06] added costs, but worries about potential
[01:06:08] confusion for his online customers. The worst fear is
[01:06:12] that that Americans are are misinformed and that they don't
[01:06:15] understand that I'm going to handle it,
[01:06:18] that they're not going to be hit with a tariff. Nearly $28
[01:06:22] billion worth of Canadian exports could be affected.
[01:06:25] Among the sectors hardest hit, electronics and electrical
[01:06:28] equipment, plastics and furniture,
[01:06:31] bedding and lighting on Cindy Baldassi's online jewelry store.
[01:06:34] She's already warning sales to the US are temporarily
[01:06:38] suspended while I calculate the new tariffs. It will be a
[01:06:42] substantial amount, possibly a loss of 50% or more
[01:06:45] of my business. And consider the sting for beekeepers in
[01:06:49] Alberta, where much of their honey is
[01:06:51] sent wholesale stateside. The fear is the new US levy will
[01:06:55] lead to a glut on this side of the border. It will strand an
[01:06:59] enormous amount of honey on the prairies and it could be really,
[01:07:03] really damaging to our our price this year. The Trump
[01:07:07] administration already adds a toll on Canadian autos.
[01:07:10] Softwood
[01:07:12] number and more. This round of tariffs is set to hit smaller
[01:07:15] exporters, leading to pleas for a last
[01:07:18] minute deal. Ideally, that deal will lower the
[01:07:22] current tariffs to a more manageable level. For now,
[01:07:26] there's more uncertainty swirling over those barrels
[01:07:30] full of honey and so much else. Thomas Daggett, CBC News,
[01:07:34] Toronto.
[01:07:36] For more on what these tariffs and potential counter tariffs
[01:07:39] might mean, senior business reporter Peter
[01:07:41] Armstrong joins us. Peter, do we have any idea of how hard
[01:07:43] they're going to hit Canadians? You know,
[01:07:45] the saying's true. Tariffs hurt everyone. We've seen that
[01:07:48] repeatedly for 18 months now. This round, if it goes ahead,
[01:07:51] will be no different. the US tariffs will drive up costs for
[01:07:54] American businesses and American households. Conversely,
[01:07:57] if Canada makes good on its threat of counter terrorists,
[01:07:59] those will hurt Canadian businesses,
[01:08:01] Canadian households. But the bigger thing is all of the
[01:08:04] uncertainty that just comes with the trade war. And business hates uncertainties.
[01:08:08] So how much has that or will that affect the Canadian
[01:08:11] economy significantly? The economy was weak before the
[01:08:13] trade war. It was made weaker still by the tariffs and all
[01:08:16] that uncertainty. And yeah, the Canadian economy has been
[01:08:19] more resilient than a lot of us had expected. But better than
[01:08:22] expected is not better. And it's a far cry from good. We've
[01:08:25] had very little economic growth in a year. We've had only
[01:08:28] meager job growth over that time. And where the tariffs
[01:08:31] have hit, Susan, they've hit very hard. Look at
[01:08:33] the automotive hub of Windsor, ON. After auto tariffs were
[01:08:36] introduced there, it had the highest unemployment rate in the country.
[01:08:40] So if these tariffs go ahead on Wednesday and it might be done
[01:08:43] right to the wire, right, what impact on the larger
[01:08:46] economy? Well, so we know that Wednesdays to
[01:08:49] this tranche of tariffs on Wednesdays will only apply to
[01:08:52] like 5% of Canada's exports to the US. But just like the first
[01:08:55] round of tariffs where they hit, they will hurt. And again,
[01:08:58] that bigger concern is that they'll deepen the trade war.
[01:09:02] We'll see more tariffs, more counter tariffs and all of
[01:09:15] ripping off Newfoundland and Labrador,
[01:09:17] Premier Tony Wakim says this deal is a fix. We have achieved
[01:09:21] a rare win, win, win. Quebec will pay a lot more
[01:09:24] for the power from the Churchill Falls Hydroelectric
[01:09:27] generating station and Labrador Hydro. Quebec will build a new
[01:09:30] dam at Gull Island, producing thousands of
[01:09:33] megawatts of new power. A wind project could produce thousands
[01:09:36] of megawatts more. Then there's a federally funded power line
[01:09:40] to bring this electricity to new mining projects
[01:09:43] altogether. Ottawa says it will triple the capacity of
[01:09:46] Churchill Falls, enough power to light, heat,
[01:09:48] cool the homes in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver combined.
[01:09:52] Churchill Falls has been contentious since the two
[01:09:54] provinces signed their first deal in 1969,
[01:09:57] where Newfoundland and Labrador sold its power to Quebec on the
[01:10:00] cheap a year and a half ago. 2 Now former premiers ripped up
[01:10:04] that deal for a new one. And we are endeavoring.
[01:10:08] Wacom's Progressive Conservatives won last fall's
[01:10:11] election, and he went back to negotiate
[01:10:14] more power for industrial development,
[01:10:16] the single largest clean energy investment in North American
[01:10:20] history. Now history risks repeating itself within days.
[01:10:24] Quebec is headed into its own election campaign,
[01:10:27] and the governing Coalition Avenir Quebec is in trouble. I
[01:10:30] see the the particular Bequia is interested in turning up
[01:10:34] this agreement. Where will they find the 10,
[01:10:37] 000 megawatts we are bringing to Quebec
[01:10:39] that agreement?
[01:10:41] Nothing stops a new premier in Quebec from ripping up this
[01:10:45] deal. But Quebec's plan to decarbonize requires finding
[01:10:48] new sources of renewable energy. It's the low hanging fruit. And
[01:10:51] I think when they're going to see the numbers,
[01:10:53] they're going to realize that, well,
[01:10:55] I guess we're going to suck it up, excuse my language, and,
[01:10:59] and go with with this deal.
[01:11:01] In the last election, Wacom promised a referendum on
[01:11:04] any new deal. But now he says there just isn't enough time.
[01:11:07] Instead, provincial politicians will get
[01:11:09] a chance to weigh in during a special sitting of the
[01:11:12] legislature. Peter. There's also the question, though,
[01:11:15] of Indigenous support.
[01:11:17] Yeah, these projects sit on new lands,
[01:11:20] and they've already signed off on a new hydro deal,
[01:11:23] but not this new wind farm. Now, the federal government is
[01:11:27] offering to make them part owners of this new project. But
[01:11:31] the newly elected grand chief says she needs to see more
[01:11:34] details. OK, thanks, Peter. Peter Cowan in St.
[01:11:37] John's tonight.
[01:11:41] Everyone at the announcement described the deal as the win
[01:11:44] win, but what is actually in it for
[01:11:46] Quebec? The old agreement was widely
[01:11:48] seen as a sweetheart deal for the province,
[01:11:51] giving it ultra low prices. But Hydro Quebec says this new deal
[01:11:55] is set to provide up to 10, 000 megawatts of electricity to
[01:11:58] the province. That extra capacity will allow prices to
[01:12:02] be kept below market rates. One of the many attractive features
[01:12:05] of this contract is the low cost of energy for the whole
[01:12:09] project. Quebec's premiers
[01:12:11] that the timing is important because it takes about 15 years
[01:12:15] to build and activate a hydroelectric energy plant. The
[01:12:19] old deal was set to expire in 2041. It's an agreement that
[01:12:23] will define the energy future of Quebec. We will probably
[01:12:27] talk about this and, you know, in 2050,
[01:12:29] fifty years. Hydro Quebec is set to invest $45 billion into
[01:12:33] the project and receive about 6. 5 billions from the federal
[01:12:37] government. The Crown corporation's executive vice
[01:12:41] president David Graham said for Quebeckers,
[01:12:44] that means their electricity bills would go up starting in
[01:12:47] 2029, between 2 and 5% each year,
[01:12:49] but any increase would need to be approved by the Quebec
[01:12:53] Energy Board. If Hydro Quebec does want to increase energy
[01:12:57] rates at that kind of rate, then they should also be
[01:13:00] helping people to fix the insulation in their homes,
[01:13:03] fix a lot of the problems that people have keeping their
[01:13:07] energy bills down. Presently, this is not a done deal yet.
[01:13:10] The Churchill River sits within the land
[01:13:13] claim of the Annunciation. There are major stakeholder in
[01:13:16] the project, but they say they're yet to be
[01:13:19] properly consulted and it's a possibility that another
[01:13:22] government decide to tear up that agreement. I see the the
[01:13:26] particular requires interested in taking up this agreement
[01:13:29] they don't want to implement.
[01:13:32] OK, So what a what do they offer to
[01:13:35] Quebeckers? PQ Leader Polson Pier Plamondon
[01:13:38] responded on social media, saying that's simply false. How
[01:13:41] could he tear up a deal he hasn't seen?
[01:13:44] He went on to say that if it's positive for Quebec, his party,
[01:13:48] if elected in October, would keep it.
[01:16:19] Near the Israeli Gaza border, preparations underway for an
[01:16:23] international force to oversee key elements of U.S. President
[01:16:27] Donald Trump's peace plan,
[01:16:32] the latest version of which was shot down last week by Israel's
[01:16:36] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying Israel will
[01:16:40] not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas fully disarms,
[01:16:43] something Hamas says can only happen if Israeli soldiers pull
[01:16:47] out. If they don't fall through now and their commitment,
[01:16:51] everyone will see that they're not genuine about peace.
[01:16:55] Trump's envoy and son-in-law Jared Kushner was in Israel on
[01:16:59] Monday after meeting Hamas leaders in Cairo. Keep in mind
[01:17:03] that President Trump does need a win,
[01:17:06] IE concrete progress on the plan before the midterms and
[01:17:11] given that all the other wars are not going as per the plan.
[01:17:16] But Netanyahu also wants to win, voting here in election
[01:17:21] primaries for his Likud party. He faces national elections in
[01:17:27] October and his base won't want any let up on Hamas.
[01:17:32] This veteran conflict negotiator with experience in
[01:17:36] Northern Ireland insists it's still possible to salvage an
[01:17:40] Israeli Hamas deal even from a position of no trust. We had
[01:17:45] the signing of the Good Friday Agreement when in principle
[01:17:49] they IRA agreed to disarm and to move from what they would
[01:17:53] say, the armed resistance into
[01:17:56] political engagement. But it took seven years or more to
[01:18:00] reach a verifiable disarmament.
[01:18:03] For Gazans, another round of diplomacy is
[01:18:07] one more day of disappointment. Netanyahu's office says Israel
[01:18:12] and Trump's Board of Peace agree that there will be no
[01:18:17] reconstruction in Gaza until after Hamas has been fully
[01:18:21] disarmed. Margaret Evans, CBC News, London.
[01:18:29] It's been 30 years since Tupac Shakur was gunned down. Who's
[01:18:33] responsible? One of hip hop's biggest
[01:18:36] mysteries Monday, former gang leader Dwayne Keffe
[01:18:39] D Davis faced a judge and jury in a Las Vegas courtroom,
[01:18:43] the only person ever charged in connection to the killing.
[01:18:46] Prosecutors say Davis didn't fire the shots but orchestrated
[01:18:50] it, calling Shakur's murder
[01:18:52] retribution for the beating of Davis's nephew. Ask yourself if
[01:18:56] what they're saying
[01:18:58] it's really true,
[01:19:01] fact or fiction. Shakur was shot 4 times after leaving the
[01:19:05] Mike Tyson boxing match. Police say a white Cadillac pulled up
[01:19:09] alongside the BMW carrying Shakur and opened fire. The
[01:19:12] first witness, a former Las Vegas police
[01:19:15] officer who was in the ambulance with Shakur as he was
[01:19:19] rushed to hospital.
[01:19:22] Convince him to tell me the name of whoever is assailants
[01:19:26] were and did he ever respond Yes, he responded no, no, we'll,
[01:19:30] we'll take care of it. Shakur died six days later.
[01:19:34] Prosecutors are relying heavily on Davis's own words,
[01:19:37] police and TV interviews and a 2019 tell All memoir. I would
[01:19:41] like you guys to buy it and get the real truth. His defence now
[01:19:46] says those statements were made-up to sell books and make
[01:19:50] money. Shakur's cousin doesn't
[01:19:52] quiet. Of course he's gonna evade accountability by saying
[01:19:56] or claiming that he embellished what he proudly boasted about
[01:20:01] for the last 15 years.

[01:24:49] Tear down work has begun at Tumblr Ridge Secondary School
[01:24:51] months after a mass shooting killed 6 people,
[01:24:54] including five children. We spoke to our Matt Pre post
[01:24:57] earlier today who talked about the work that has now begun.
[01:25:02] Yeah, Hi Michelle. As you can see
[01:25:04] behind me is the South wing of the former Tumblr Ridge
[01:25:07] Secondary School scraped down to its metal beams today. Now
[01:25:11] this is where the schools auto shop class was for the trades
[01:25:15] area was located. There was even a fish farm that students
[01:25:19] enjoyed in this part of the school.
[01:25:23] The school has been around for as long as the town itself.
[01:25:26] It's held a lot of memories and of course there's been a lot of
[01:25:30] emotions today. As Rat residents gathered on the
[01:25:32] hillside next to me watching it come down after the events of
[01:25:36] February 10th, I spoke to one resident who
[01:25:38] came out to watch today's demolition get underway. Here's
[01:25:42] what Chris Norbury had to say. There's a lot of good lot of
[01:25:45] good memories here in Tumblr Ridge that have happened at
[01:25:48] that school. And I think it's very natural that a lot of
[01:25:52] those past feelings are coming back.
[01:25:54] But you know, this is going to be the start
[01:25:56] of the next chapter of Tumblr Ridge and it's and its students,
[01:25:59] you know, the, you know, the the student body and the
[01:26:02] teachers had their had their opportunity to say what they
[01:26:04] wanted and this is what they want. And you know,
[01:26:07] I stand behind them. And
[01:26:13] as you just heard from Chris Norbury,
[01:26:15] students and teachers had a big say in determining the future
[01:26:18] of this school. The community was also asked for their input
[01:26:21] and majority supporting tearing down the school
[01:26:25] is happening for students as they wait for their new school
[01:26:28] to be built.
[01:26:30] We also dropped by the Tumblr Ridge Elementary School site
[01:26:34] just a few blocks away. That's where a temporary modular
[01:26:37] campus for students has been set up and is being expanded.
[01:26:40] Crews were building a gathering space today that's going to be
[01:26:44] open for the new year, the new school year. There's
[01:26:47] about 8 or 9 classroom pods about, you know,
[01:26:50] 2 counseling areas, some offices. There's a mobile
[01:26:53] trades training classroom that's also been set up. The
[01:26:56] site behind me, the former secondary school
[01:26:59] here, is going to be returned
[01:27:01] to grasp that work will be complete by the fall. Of course,
[01:27:04] the school district is working on designs and concepts that
[01:27:07] plans to bring to consultations with the community later this
[01:27:10] year. And of course, discussions are also going to
[01:27:13] get underway. But what a future memorial site here in the
[01:27:15] community might look like. I spoke with Mayor Darrell
[01:27:18] Krakowska. Here's what he had to say. When we talk about the
[01:27:21] memorial permit memorial, that'll be dictated by the
[01:27:24] families that have lost loved ones and as they as they go
[01:27:27] through their grieving stages and stuff and are prepared to
[01:27:30] have that conversation into the district. And we'll have a conversation. And with
[01:27:34] that permanent mural looks like and what location it would like
[01:27:36] to see that, you know, whether that is where the
[01:27:38] secondary school was or if it's another place in the community
[01:27:41] they feel more comfortable with.
[01:27:44] Michelle, like I said, a lot of emotions here in the
[01:27:47] community today watching this Tumblr Ridge Secondary School
[01:27:51] come down and a lot of work still to do to bring some sense
[01:27:54] of closure and normalcy for students and families.
[01:27:59] Since KL Hockey started its summer camp last month,
[01:28:01] CBC News has learned one of its lead instructors continued to
[01:28:04] work with kids until last week, despite having pleaded guilty
[01:28:07] in April to two counts of assaulting children known to
[01:28:10] him. That instructor is Bradley Gibbs,
[01:28:12] a Durham Regional Police officer. CBC News spoke with
[01:28:15] one of the victims, who is now an adult.
[01:28:18] To one of those camps. I would
[01:28:20] be really concerned we've altered their voice and hidden
[01:28:23] their identity because it's protected by a court ordered
[01:28:26] publication ban. They say Gibbs is a cofounder of the camp and
[01:28:30] believes the camp's owners knew about his guilty pleas. They
[01:28:33] would never hire someone with a criminal record like that, so
[01:28:38] I think I want people to agree with me that I'm being fired
[01:28:41] from this job would be fair. After CBC News reached out to
[01:28:44] Kyle Hockey and Gibbs, the camp sent an e-mail to
[01:28:47] parents last week saying Gibbs would no longer be working at
[01:28:50] the camp. Given the recent attention surrounding this
[01:28:53] matter, Brad believes that stepping
[01:28:55] back is in the best interest of our players,
[01:28:57] families in camp community, wrote camp director Amanda
[01:29:00] Tales. The e-mail to parents included a letter from Gibbs
[01:29:04] saying he took full responsibility for a personal
[01:29:06] legal matter, saying he accepted
[01:29:08] accountability for my lapse in judgment. Neither Gibbs nor the
[01:29:11] camp elaborated what the legal matter was in their messages to
[01:29:15] parents. In a statement to CBC News,
[01:29:17] Kale Hockey said it would not be making any further comments
[01:29:20] while the case is still before the courts. Gibbs did not
[01:29:23] respond to our request for an interview. In Ontario,
[01:29:26] there is no legislation requiring summer camps to
[01:29:29] perform security checks of their staff. The Ontario Camps
[01:29:32] Association says it requires its 400 members to perform
[01:29:35] criminal background checks, but its membership is voluntary,
[01:29:39] and the association says it does not mandate what action
[01:29:42] camp leaders should take after those checks are completed. And
[01:29:45] Kale Hockey doesn't have to follow those same standards
[01:29:48] because it's not a member of the association. The Ministry
[01:29:51] of Education requires day camps for children under 4 to get a
[01:29:54] childcare license. Each staff member has to complete a
[01:29:57] vulnerable sectors check, a deeper screening process that
[01:30:00] includes criminal background checks for anyone with
[01:30:03] positions of authority over kids. But camps for older kids
[01:30:06] don't fall under the ministry scope. This is a big gap in in
[01:30:09] in the legislation would need to worry is an employment lawyer based out of
[01:30:13] Toronto. He says Ontario should be mandating vulnerable sector
[01:30:16] checks for anyone entrusted with caring for children.
[01:30:19] Parents are entitled to expect a safe system. They are not
[01:30:22] expected to become private investigators. The camp bears
[01:30:25] the responsibility to screen, supervise and act on relevant
[01:30:28] information. The Ministry of Education would not provide
[01:30:31] answers to our questions asking why these types of checks are
[01:30:34] not mandated across day and overnight camps and whether
[01:30:37] there are any safeguards in place to ensure staff and
[01:30:40] volunteers at these camps do not have criminal convictions. CBC News
[01:30:43] also asked the Ministry of the Solicitor General whether the
[01:30:47] province would consider creating that legislation. We
[01:30:49] did not receive a response. Germ Regional Police told CBC
[01:30:53] News Gibbs has been redeployed from frontline patrol duties to
[01:30:56] an administrative role. It said it will determine whether he
[01:30:59] will be subject to a disciplinary hearing after the
[01:31:02] outcome of his court case. Gives is scheduled to be back
[01:31:05] in court for sentencing next month. Christian Devino. CBC News Lindsey.
[01:31:14] PEI RCMP say artificial intelligence is being used to
[01:31:17] target children and it's happening more often. Police
[01:31:21] say AI generated or manipulated content makes up about 1/3 of
[01:31:25] RCMP investigations into child sexual abuse and exploitation
[01:31:30] material. Approximately 33% of our investigations and material
[01:31:35] are now involving AI generated material. Under the Criminal
[01:31:39] Code, child sexual abuse and
[01:31:41] exploitation material is illegal.
[01:31:44] There are charges for making, possessing,
[01:31:47] distributing and accessing this kind of material,
[01:31:50] and it doesn't matter whether it's AI generated or not.
[01:31:54] Experts say AI generated images can be based on real children,
[01:31:58] often using stolen images. If you think about how AI models
[01:32:02] are created in the 1st place, they basically scrape the
[01:32:06] Internet. It's a vast vaping operation that indiscriminately
[01:32:10] vacuums up images all across the Internet. Marcus says it's
[01:32:14] not just strangers online who are using AI to create illegal
[01:32:18] content. He says it's been a growing problem in schools with
[01:32:22] students taking images of their classmates and altering them.
[01:32:27] With AI, you'll have students who will
[01:32:29] retrieve innocuous images on social media of their
[01:32:32] classmates and based on that are able to notify them using a
[01:32:36] widely available notification. Apps that are powered by
[01:32:40] generative AI and that are widely available on app stores.
[01:32:44] Kaiser says it's important
[01:32:46] the parents to talk to their kids about what it means to
[01:32:50] post pictures online. As soon as we allowed our children to
[01:32:54] have devices, which puts them on social media
[01:32:57] platforms, you have to have those types of
[01:33:00] conversations about what can happen if you post and what
[01:33:03] sites you should be on and how to not feel that if you do make
[01:33:08] these posts. And if something does happen,
[01:33:10] you shouldn't be afraid to come to a parent and have those
[01:33:14] types of conversations or somebody you trust
[01:33:17] about what's going on with you because it's very difficult if
[01:33:21] you're dealing with something like that alone. Kaiser says
[01:33:24] parents have to be cautious of what they post online,
[01:33:27] too. Although it's wonderful to sit and take pictures of her
[01:33:30] children and and place them on the Internet and show that this
[01:33:34] is the first day of school and whatnot,
[01:33:36] we have to be aware that these images
[01:33:39] can be taken from the Internet and utilized and manipulated in
[01:33:46] who their audience is and who their posts are visible to. He
[01:33:50] says anyone who knows of somebody creating this kind of
[01:33:54] material should report it to local law enforcement
[01:33:57] immediately. Gwyneth Egan, CBC News, Charlottetown.
[01:36:07] Visit any superstore, No Frills or independent grocer
[01:36:09] in Saskatchewan and you'll now find beef from Australia on the
[01:36:12] shelves. You'll also find it's nearly half the price of
[01:36:16] Canadian beef. Loblaws, which owns the Grocery Outlet,
[01:36:19] has added the meat as another option for consumers,
[01:36:22] but it's putting customers in a tough spot. Buy cheap or by
[01:36:25] Canadian. Well, I think it makes sense if the
[01:36:28] price is so high that people are going to look to something
[01:36:31] cheaper. I mean certainly it's not the sustainable options.
[01:36:46] Probably not, but we'll see
[01:36:49] at some point I may taste it and see. It's hard to believe
[01:36:52] they can ship it all the way and it'd be a lot cheaper.
[01:36:56] Loblaw says it remains committed to supporting
[01:36:59] Canadian beef producers while providing its customers with
[01:37:02] choice and value. The head of the Canadian Cattle Association
[01:37:06] says international beef on the shelf doesn't hurt local
[01:37:09] producers as their feeding methods make for a different
[01:37:13] product. The result is is really a product that is leaner,
[01:37:16] doesn't tend to have, you know, quite the same
[01:37:19] marbling and you know, and therefore isn't as
[01:37:22] preferred in well in in Canada as compared to the Canadian
[01:37:26] produced beef. Fulton says thanks to the Trans Pacific
[01:37:30] Partnership, Australian exported beef is
[01:37:33] filling a void here, while Canadian products do
[01:37:36] better in markets like Japan and Vietnam. But he also thinks
[01:37:40] the low price of Australian meat in Loblaws grocery stores
[01:37:44] could hurt the retailer. The other likely big factor here is
[01:37:48] that, you know, retailers
[01:37:50] still use a lost leader tactic where they will, you know,
[01:37:54] drop the price of of a certain product even below what it cost
[01:37:58] for them to bring it in. And he says that could cost Loblaws
[01:38:03] money in the end. But for the average grocery shopper,
[01:38:06] quality and cost will stay in consideration when they get to
[01:38:21] CBC News, Regina.
[01:38:25] Quebec oil producer Chantal van Winden says the products coming
[01:38:29] out of her field are 100% authentic. We're proud of this
[01:38:32] because we know we're nourishing well,
[01:38:35] the soul. We also know that we're nourishing well,
[01:38:38] the humans. This is camelina, an ancient crop in the mustard
[01:38:42] family. Oil is produced from its seeds. Van Winden says it
[01:38:46] can be directly traced from this field
[01:38:49] to the bottle, unlike some olive oil on the
[01:38:52] Canadian market. People are realizing that there's a big
[01:38:55] issue with olive oil quality. The Canadian Food Inspection
[01:38:59] Agency found that in about 1 out of 3 bottles it tested,
[01:39:02] the olive oil was either tampered with lower quality
[01:39:06] oils or misrepresented claims that it was extra virgin,
[01:39:09] unrefined, or cold pressed. In fact,
[01:39:11] the CFIA says that out of all of the food it tested,
[01:39:15] olive oil had the lowest compliance rate for
[01:39:18] authenticity testing. It's why Van Winden
[01:39:20] and other oil producers wrote an open letter to customers. We
[01:39:24] have to say to the world, to the to people for to
[01:39:27] Canadians that we do have other alternative. Olive oil fraud is
[01:39:31] a worldwide problem. In 2023, cases hit a record high in
[01:39:35] Europe, olive production has been going
[01:39:37] down and therefore olive oil production has been going down,
[01:39:41] which drove up the price. If there's money to be made,
[01:39:44] chances are people will try at some point. Last year,
[01:39:47] the CFIA intercepted about 7000 liters of adulterated olive oil,
[01:39:51] preventing
[01:39:53] from being sold. Michel Fabozzi says he checks every batch of
[01:39:57] olive oil he imports.
[01:40:01] Lab tests confirm its authenticity. Favuzza
[01:40:03] recommends consumers taste the product before using it. He
[01:40:07] says it should smell grassy, not like walnuts. The higher
[01:40:10] the quality, usually the more peppery and
[01:40:13] bitterness it has because it has more polyphenols,
[01:40:16] which are antioxidants. Favuzza says the more information is
[01:40:19] offered on the label, such as harvest date,
[01:40:22] olive oil variety and place of origin for the better. Gloria

[01:40:30] Bridget McGuinness stuffs a new backpack with crayons, pencils,
[01:40:33] paper and any other classroom necessity you can think of. She
[01:40:37] says every year the need for Parker Streets Back to School
[01:40:41] program only grows. The demand is strong,
[01:40:44] whether it's for food, furniture,
[01:40:46] the back to school program. We, we do run many various programs
[01:40:50] and what we're finding is that our lineups are getting longer.
[01:40:54] This year, the charity will give out up to
[01:40:57] 1000 backpacks to children in need.
[01:41:00] According to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives,
[01:41:03] Nova Scotia continues to have one of the highest rates of
[01:41:07] childhood poverty in the country. That's why Kate
[01:41:10] Peppler's organization is also handing out backpacks to
[01:41:13] students identified by community and school social
[01:41:16] workers. So when you're already in a vulnerable situation or
[01:41:20] already low income, the added stress of how am I
[01:41:23] going to get my kids what they need to thrive at school and
[01:41:27] can be a big stressor on families. Last year,
[01:41:30] the Nova Scotia
[01:41:31] government made a permanent boost to income assistance to
[01:41:35] help with school related costs. In August,
[01:41:38] eligible families will receive an additional $100 per child
[01:41:42] aged 5 to 12 and $200 per child aged 13 to 18. But local
[01:41:46] charities must still fill in the gaps. Peppler thinks Nova
[01:41:50] Scotia should consider covering the cost of all essential
[01:41:54] school supplies for students like what's done in PEI.
[01:41:58] There's always more supports that can be offered,
[01:42:01] more that can be done. In Cape Breton,
[01:42:04] several community groups are coming together to distribute
[01:42:07] 2500 free backpacks with supplies to students across the
[01:42:11] island. I spoke to a single mom of three kids yesterday and she
[01:42:15] she was in tears. And she just, she simply looked at me and she
[01:42:18] said
[01:42:20] if it was going to be this or gas in my car or maybe less
[01:42:23] food on my table and a little girl,
[01:42:25] her backpack. And she dropped to the knees and said,
[01:42:29] this is so beautiful. And that's why we're here doing
[01:42:32] what we do because we love helping people. As the new
[01:42:35] school year inches closer, the organizations are still
[01:42:39] welcoming monetary and physical donations to help support those
[01:42:43] who need it most. Selena Alders, CBC News, Halifax.
[01:42:48] Now to some breaking news. Are you
[01:42:50] World News fast? We're gathering at one of those
[01:42:53] turning points in history, but a headline isn't the whole
[01:42:56] story. Get the facts that matter. Why is that your focus
[01:42:58] right now? From the source, you can trust the National Canada's Newscast.
[01:45:03] As another tariff deadline looms,
[01:45:05] this Abbotsford business owner is worried it poses an
[01:45:09] existential threat to my business. On any given month,
[01:45:12] I shipped 25 to 50% of my sales to United States.
[01:45:19] Blaine Marini's business manufacturers wallpaper,
[01:45:22] stickers and decals. His products are among nearly $28
[01:45:25] billion worth of Canadian goods the US is threatening to slap
[01:45:29] 50% tariffs on come Wednesday. I have to either adapt or it'll
[01:45:32] mean changes to the way I do business here,
[01:45:35] which could include staff changes,
[01:45:39] even fast to ship orders before the tariff deadline. It
[01:45:42] actually has been overwhelming. I think about it every day.
[01:45:45] International tensions causing major concerns,
[01:45:48] especially for local businesses here in Abbotsford with its
[01:45:51] close cross-border ties, manufacturing and agriculture.
[01:45:54] We've got more than 300 businesses that are exporting
[01:45:57] to the United States. There's about a $1.5 billion in annual
[01:46:01] exports just out of Abbotsford alone. Mitchell says many of
[01:46:04] those exporters are up to 90% reliant on the US market. When
[01:46:08] there's this constantly
[01:46:09] changing tariff landscape, it's very challenging for
[01:46:12] customers and suppliers to continue to maintain those
[01:46:15] excellent trading relationships. the US claims it's imposing the
[01:46:19] tariffs because of Canadian discrimination toward its
[01:46:21] automobile, dairy and alcohol sectors. For
[01:46:24] example, it wants US liquor back on the
[01:46:26] shelves A provincially run stores. Ottawa is still pushing
[01:46:29] for an agreement with Washington. A key priority is
[01:46:32] to have Trump lower existing sectorial tariffs that have
[01:46:35] been punishing the steel, aluminum,
[01:46:37] auto and lumber industries. So a lot of companies are already
[01:46:40] dealing with this, where they've had to do layoffs,
[01:46:43] restructuring, unknown if they're going to be
[01:46:46] able to to survive, you know, this next, you know,
[01:46:49] wave that we're dealing with. Canada's Prime Minister is
[01:46:52] expected to speak to Trump in the next 48 hours,
[01:46:55] leaving business owners at the mercy of ongoing negotiations
[01:46:59] beneath breach. CBC News, Abbotsford.
[01:47:03] Now, American tariffs are most often paid by American consumers, but of course,
[01:47:07] they cut into the sales of both Canadian and American
[01:47:10] businesses. Look South of the border. The Howard family
[01:47:13] designs a custom furniture company in Michigan. It relies
[01:47:16] on Canadian lumber. As prices for their supplies go up,
[01:47:20] it's their customers who are struggling to absorb sudden
[01:47:23] added costs and the loss of business forces that company to
[01:47:27] make hard decisions. Michael Howard runs it. He joins us now
[01:47:37] the prospect of yet more tariffs again tomorrow morning.
[01:47:40] What, what would that mean in the
[01:47:42] grand scheme of things for you?
[01:47:46] It it means that provide for my family is going to be more
[01:47:50] challenging with the looming tariffs. We know we've already
[01:47:54] lost one potential project for a hospital that we were going
[01:47:58] to build some desk and furniture for. And 50% tariff
[01:48:02] will put it well beyond their range of affordability. So walk
[01:48:06] that through for me, because it's not just that it's
[01:48:10] becoming too expensive, it, it is that you are losing
[01:48:14] business. So this this desk for instance, are these deaths to produce
[01:48:18] because of the tariffs? It would just get too expensive
[01:48:20] for the customer themselves,
[01:48:24] correct? So we we can't absorb the
[01:48:26] increase in cost. And so knowing these tariffs were
[01:48:29] coming in place, I had to follow up with several
[01:48:32] of my clients and let them know one person's getting a kitchen
[01:48:36] done. We're building their kitchen cabinets which use
[01:48:39] softwood lumber that does come from Canada and in terms of
[01:48:43] plywood and, and they're willing to absorb
[01:48:45] the extra cost. This other client was not. And so we're
[01:48:48] going to lose about $3000 of profit just for this one client
[01:48:52] because they're not willing to absorb the increased,
[01:48:55] I'll say I the president's tariffs is gonna place. And so
[01:48:59] you have to absorb it,
[01:49:03] either have to absorb it or pass it along to the customer.
[01:49:06] And because we're such a small company,
[01:49:08] it's like we don't have the means to just absorb the
[01:49:11] increased cost. It would be too harsh for us. We can't afford
[01:49:15] it. And so we'd have to pass it along. I've already had to,
[01:49:18] I've already lost the staff member because we the decrease
[01:49:21] in business. You've had to let people go because this is
[01:49:24] impacting your bottom line.
[01:49:27] Unfortunately, yes, I have. You know, if,
[01:49:29] if the US president, if you were president was on in
[01:49:32] this conversation with us, he would probably say, well,
[01:49:35] why don't you use American lumber instead?
[01:49:37] So I'd put that to you, what what is the benefit of
[01:49:39] Canadian lumber
[01:49:43] that you guys have it The we do not have the capacity for
[01:49:47] lumber or aluminum, it's to meet the need. And we
[01:49:50] know when the demand is high and the supply is low that
[01:49:54] drives up the cost is like basic like you know,
[01:49:58] middle school economics. You guys have the lumber. We get
[01:50:02] about 70% of our softwood lumber from Canada. We can't
[01:50:06] even imagine building a a lumber mill to bring a lumber
[01:50:10] mill online in time.
[01:50:12] It's just nearly impossible. It takes years to bring a lumber
[01:50:15] mill online and it will decimate our forests. Whereas
[01:50:18] we have a great relationship with Canada or at least had one.
[01:50:21] And that partnership is so meaningful in regards of the
[01:50:24] lumber industry had you guys have the supply that we. Yeah,
[01:50:27] sorry, I don't mean Michael to cut you
[01:50:29] off, but I do wonder, was tariffs a word that was
[01:50:32] even spoken inside your business a few years ago?
[01:50:36] Absolutely not. As a small business owner,
[01:50:38] there are so many challenges in life when you're running a
[01:50:42] family owned business and our our business really does pride
[01:50:45] itself on giving back to the community. So outside of
[01:50:48] running a business, our main conversation is how
[01:50:51] can we pour back into our community. Now we're having our
[01:50:54] conversation outside of running our business is global
[01:50:58] economics and how are terrorists going to impact our
[01:51:01] customers, impact our staff members and
[01:51:03] impact our ability to provide for our families?
[01:51:06] Michael, look, you're not far from the border,
[01:51:08] but here we are north of the border. It's the top story
[01:51:11] today. It's probably gonna be the top story nationally
[01:51:13] tomorrow. People are talking about it. People are worried
[01:51:16] about it, a lot of businesses. And yet South of the border, it's it's barely making the
[01:51:20] news. It doesn't seem like people are talking about it. If
[01:51:23] they are, it's quiet lobbying, like the automakers are doing
[01:51:26] quiet lobbying of the White House. Few people are saying it
[01:51:29] out loud. Why do you think that is?
[01:51:32] I unfortunately, I think it is genuine fear. The,
[01:51:35] the reality is it is Congress's job to levy taxes and tariffs.
[01:51:40] And we have a president that is operating outside,
[01:51:43] in my opinion, outside of his means,
[01:51:46] and no one's really holding him accountable. And it's
[01:51:49] negatively impacting businesses like myself,
[01:51:52] but businesses across the US and across the border. And so I
[01:51:56] think there's a fear of if I speak out,
[01:51:59] I'll get retaliated against in regards to
[01:52:02] lobbyists and, and people that would normally
[01:52:04] be discussing this or news outlets,
[01:52:06] especially news outlets. We have seen that if a news outlet
[01:52:09] speaks out, they will be punished. But the
[01:52:12] reality is they're not speaking out on behalf of that news
[01:52:15] outlet. They're speaking out depending families like mine.
[01:52:18] And you know, school is about to get started
[01:52:20] soon. And so like, we're going to need paper for
[01:52:23] our kids and we're going to need school supplies and
[01:52:26] pencils and all those things are impacted by the lumber
[01:52:29] industry. And a 50% tariff on lumber will make it just simply
[01:52:32] make it harder for parents
[01:52:33] have 4 kids. It'll make it harder for us to be able to buy
[01:52:36] school supplies. It would be harder for teachers that are
[01:52:39] already underpaid, under supplied,
[01:52:41] and now they're going to have to come out of their pockets
[01:52:44] even more. It'll make it harder for business owners like me. So
[01:52:47] life in general is going to be very difficult. I think people
[01:52:50] aren't speaking out out of fear. If you're right. If it is that
[01:52:53] people aren't speaking out of fear,
[01:52:56] you're speaking out right now,
[01:52:58] does that mean you're not scared?
[01:53:01] No, no, I'm not. I, I think it is our job to,
[01:53:04] to speak up when we see a injustice and what's going on
[01:53:08] is, is injustice and it's not, it's,
[01:53:10] it's harming our community. And so when we see harm,
[01:53:14] we have to speak out. These terrorists were initially
[01:53:18] allegedly put in place because of
[01:53:21] theory about explicit drugs coming into America,
[01:53:24] and then it was a retaliation. And now there's another
[01:53:28] explanation, another explanation. And and
[01:53:30] it's like we want to support American businesses,
[01:53:33] so we place these tariffs and this is doing the exact
[01:53:37] opposite. Some businesses and our county have had to close
[01:53:40] because they rely on Canadian aluminum and they're having to
[01:53:44] close because of these tariffs and over the last couple years,
[01:53:48] not just now.
[01:53:50] All right, Michael Howard, thank you very much.
[01:53:53] Thank you so much.

[02:05:01] TARIFFS OF THAT. THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED. THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED. MARK CARNEY WAS IN A MEETING
[02:05:05] MARK CARNEY WAS IN A MEETING LAST MONTH WITH HIS PROVINCIAL LAST MONTH WITH HIS PROVINCIAL AND TERRITORIAL COUNTERPARTS
[02:05:09] AND TERRITORIAL COUNTERPARTS AND ASKED THEM TO DRAW UP PLANS AND ASKED THEM TO DRAW UP PLANS FOR RETALIATION.
[02:05:12] FOR RETALIATION. WHEN JOURNALISTS ASKED CARNEY
[02:05:14] WHEN JOURNALISTS ASKED CARNEY ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY HE HAS
[02:05:16] ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY HE HAS PLANS FOR ANY SITUATION THAT
[02:05:18] PLANS FOR ANY SITUATION THAT MAY ARISE.
[02:05:21] MAY ARISE. MAYBE AT SOME POINT IT WILL
[02:05:24] MAYBE AT SOME POINT IT WILL SINK IN THIS TRADE WAR CANNOT SINK IN THIS TRADE WAR CANNOT KEEP GOING THE WAY IT HAS
[02:05:28] KEEP GOING THE WAY IT HAS BECAUSE IT'S HURTING EVERYONE. BECAUSE IT'S HURTING EVERYONE. NOT SURE IF WE'RE AT THAT P
[02:05:34] A symbol of Canada and a target of looming tariffs,
[02:05:38] hockey sticks shipped to the US are set to be slapped with a
[02:05:42] new 50% import fee, along with a wide range of
[02:05:45] other Canadian goods from liquor to toilet paper. We have
[02:05:49] a free trade agreement in place that eliminates this type of
[02:05:53] erratic behavior, so it's extremely frustrating.
[02:05:56] No matter the existing trade deal on Wednesday,
[02:06:00] the tariffs are slated to hit much of the gear Joey Walsh
[02:06:04] sells. He plans to absorb those
[02:06:06] added costs, but worries about potential
[02:06:08] confusion for his online customers. The worst fear is
[02:06:12] that that Americans are are misinformed and that they don't
[02:06:15] understand that I'm going to handle it,
[02:06:18] that they're not going to be hit with a tariff. Nearly $28
[02:06:22] billion worth of Canadian exports could be affected.
[02:06:25] Among the sectors hardest hit, electronics and electrical
[02:06:28] equipment, plastics and furniture,
[02:06:31] bedding and lighting on Cindy Baldassi's online jewelry store.
[02:06:35] She's already warning sales to the US are temporarily
[02:06:38] suspended while I calculate the new tariffs. It will be a
[02:06:42] substantial amount, possibly a loss of 50% or more
[02:06:45] of my business. And consider the sting for beekeepers in
[02:06:49] Alberta, where much of their honey is
[02:06:51] sent wholesale stateside. The fear is the new US levy will
[02:06:55] lead to a glut on this side of the border. It will strand an
[02:06:59] enormous amount of honey on the prairies and it could be really,
[02:07:03] really damaging to our our price this year. The Trump
[02:07:07] administration already adds a toll on Canadian autos.
[02:07:10] Softwood
[02:07:12] number and more. This round of tariffs is set to hit smaller
[02:07:15] exporters, leading to pleas for a last
[02:07:18] minute deal. Ideally, that deal will lower the
[02:07:22] current tariffs to a more manageable level. For now,
[02:07:26] there's more uncertainty swirling over those barrels
[02:07:30] full of honey and so much else. Thomas Daggett, CBC News,
[02:07:34] Toronto.
[02:07:36] For more on what these tariffs and potential counter tariffs
[02:07:39] might mean, senior business reporter Peter
[02:07:41] Armstrong joins us. Peter, do we have any idea of how hard
[02:07:43] they're going to hit Canadians? You know,
[02:07:45] the saying's true. Tariffs hurt everyone. We've seen that
[02:07:48] repeatedly for 18 months now. This round, if it goes ahead,
[02:07:51] will be no different. the US tariffs will drive up costs for
[02:07:54] American businesses and American households. Conversely,
[02:07:57] if Canada makes good on its threat of counter terrorists,
[02:07:59] those will hurt Canadian businesses,
[02:08:01] Canadian households. But the bigger thing is all of the
[02:08:04] uncertainty that just comes with the trade war. And business hates uncertainties.
[02:08:08] So how much has that or will that affect the Canadian
[02:08:11] economy significantly? The economy was weak before the
[02:08:13] trade war. It was made weaker still by the tariffs and all
[02:08:16] that uncertainty. And yeah, the Canadian economy has been
[02:08:19] more resilient than a lot of us had expected. But better than
[02:08:22] expected is not better. And it's a far cry from good. We've
[02:08:25] had very little economic growth in a year. We've had only
[02:08:28] meager job growth over that time. And where the tariffs
[02:08:31] have hit, Susan, they've hit very hard. Look at
[02:08:33] the automotive hub of Windsor, ON. After auto tariffs were
[02:08:36] introduced there, it had the highest unemployment rate in the country.
[02:08:40] So if these tariffs go ahead on Wednesday and it might be done
[02:08:43] right to the wire, right, what impact on the larger
[02:08:46] economy? Well, so we know that Wednesdays to
[02:08:49] this tranche of tariffs on Wednesdays will only apply to
[02:08:52] like 5% of Canada's exports to the US. But just like the first
[02:08:55] round of tariffs where they hit, they will hurt. And again,
[02:08:58] that bigger concern is that they'll deepen the trade war.
[02:09:02] We'll see more tariffs, more counter tariffs and all of
[02:09:15] ripping off Newfoundland and Labrador,
[02:09:17] Premier Tony Wakim says this deal is a fix. We have achieved
[02:09:21] a rare win, win, win. Quebec will pay a lot more
[02:09:24] for the power from the Churchill Falls Hydroelectric
[02:09:27] generating station and Labrador Hydro. Quebec will build a new
[02:09:30] dam at Gull Island, producing thousands of
[02:09:33] megawatts of new power. A wind project could produce thousands
[02:09:36] of megawatts more. Then there's a federally funded power line
[02:09:40] to bring this electricity to new mining projects
[02:09:43] altogether. Ottawa says it will triple the capacity of
[02:09:46] Churchill Falls, enough power to light, heat,
[02:09:48] cool the homes in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver combined.
[02:09:52] Churchill Falls has been contentious since the two
[02:09:54] provinces signed their first deal in 1969,
[02:09:57] where Newfoundland and Labrador sold its power to Quebec on the
[02:10:00] cheap a year and a half ago. 2 Now former premiers ripped up
[02:10:04] that deal for a new one. And we are endeavoring.
[02:10:08] Wacom's Progressive Conservatives won last fall's
[02:10:11] election, and he went back to negotiate
[02:10:14] more power for industrial development,
[02:10:16] the single largest clean energy investment in North American
[02:10:20] history. Now history risks repeating itself within days.
[02:10:24] Quebec is headed into its own election campaign,
[02:10:27] and the governing Coalition Avenir Quebec is in trouble. I
[02:10:30] see the the particular Bequia is interested in turning up
[02:10:34] this agreement. Where will they find the 10,
[02:10:37] 000 megawatts we are bringing to Quebec
[02:10:39] that agreement?
[02:10:41] Nothing stops a new premier in Quebec from ripping up this
[02:10:45] deal. But Quebec's plan to decarbonize requires finding
[02:10:48] new sources of renewable energy. It's the low hanging fruit. And
[02:10:51] I think when they're going to see the numbers,
[02:10:53] they're going to realize that, well,
[02:10:55] I guess we're going to suck it up, excuse my language, and,
[02:10:59] and go with with this deal.
[02:11:01] In the last election, Wacom promised a referendum on
[02:11:04] any new deal. But now he says there just isn't enough time.
[02:11:07] Instead, provincial politicians will get
[02:11:09] a chance to weigh in during a special sitting of the
[02:11:12] legislature. Peter. There's also the question, though,
[02:11:15] of Indigenous support.
[02:11:17] Yeah, these projects sit on new lands,
[02:11:20] and they've already signed off on a new hydro deal,
[02:11:23] but not this new wind farm. Now, the federal government is
[02:11:27] offering to make them part owners of this new project. But
[02:11:31] the newly elected grand chief says she needs to see more
[02:11:34] details. OK, thanks, Peter. Peter Cowan in St. John's tonight.
[02:11:41] Everyone at the announcement described the deal as the win
[02:11:48] seen as a sweetheart deal for the province,
[02:11:51] giving it ultra low prices. But Hydro Quebec says this new deal
[02:11:55] is set to provide up to 10, 000 megawatts of electricity to
[02:11:58] the province. That extra capacity will allow prices to
[02:12:02] be kept below market rates. One of the many attractive features
[02:12:05] of this contract is the low cost of energy for the whole
[02:12:09] project. Quebec's premiers
[02:12:11] that the timing is important because it takes about 15 years
[02:12:15] to build and activate a hydroelectric energy plant. The
[02:12:19] old deal was set to expire in 2041. It's an agreement that
[02:12:23] will define the energy future of Quebec. We will probably
[02:12:27] talk about this and, you know, in 2050,
[02:12:29] fifty years. Hydro Quebec is set to invest $45 billion into
[02:12:33] the project and receive about 6. 5 billions from the federal
[02:12:37] government. The Crown corporation's executive vice
[02:12:41] president David Graham said for Quebeckers,
[02:12:44] that means their electricity bills would go up starting in
[02:12:47] 2029, between 2 and 5% each year,
[02:12:49] but any increase would need to be approved by the Quebec
[02:12:53] Energy Board. If Hydro Quebec does want to increase energy
[02:12:57] rates at that kind of rate, then they should also be
[02:13:00] helping people to fix the insulation in their homes,
[02:13:03] fix a lot of the problems that people have keeping their
[02:13:07] energy bills down. Presently, this is not a done deal yet.
[02:13:10] The Churchill River sits within the land
[02:13:13] claim of the Annunciation. There are major stakeholder in
[02:13:16] the project, but they say they're yet to be
[02:13:19] properly consulted and it's a possibility that another
[02:13:22] government decide to tear up that agreement. I see the the
[02:13:26] particular requires interested in taking up this agreement
[02:13:29] they don't want to implement.
[02:13:32] OK, So what a what do they offer to
[02:13:35] Quebeckers? PQ Leader Polson Pier Plamondon
[02:13:38] responded on social media, saying that's simply false. How
[02:13:41] could he tear up a deal he hasn't seen?
[02:13:44] He went on to say that if it's positive for Quebec, his party,
[02:13:48] if elected in October, would keep it.
[02:16:19] Near the Israeli Gaza border, preparations underway for an
[02:16:23] international force to oversee key elements of U.S. President
[02:16:27] Donald Trump's peace plan,
[02:16:32] the latest version of which was shot down last week by Israel's
[02:16:36] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying Israel will
[02:16:40] not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas fully disarms,
[02:16:43] something Hamas says can only happen if Israeli soldiers pull
[02:16:47] out. If they don't fall through now and their commitment,
[02:16:51] everyone will see that they're not genuine about peace.
[02:16:55] Trump's envoy and son-in-law Jared Kushner was in Israel on
[02:16:59] Monday after meeting Hamas leaders in Cairo. Keep in mind
[02:17:03] that President Trump does need a win,
[02:17:06] IE concrete progress on the plan before the midterms and
[02:17:11] given that all the other wars are not going as per the plan.
[02:17:16] But Netanyahu also wants to win, voting here in election
[02:17:21] primaries for his Likud party. He faces national elections in
[02:17:27] October and his base won't want any let up on Hamas.
[02:17:32] This veteran conflict negotiator with experience in
[02:17:36] Northern Ireland insists it's still possible to salvage an
[02:17:41] Israeli Hamas deal even from a position of no trust. We had
[02:17:45] the signing of the Good Friday Agreement when in principle
[02:17:49] they IRA agreed to disarm and to move from what they would
[02:17:53] say, the armed resistance into
[02:17:56] political engagement. But it took seven years or more to
[02:18:00] reach a verifiable disarmament.
[02:18:03] For Gazans, another round of diplomacy is
[02:18:07] one more day of disappointment. Netanyahu's office says Israel
[02:18:12] and Trump's Board of Peace agree that there will be no
[02:18:17] reconstruction in Gaza until after Hamas has been fully
[02:18:21] disarmed. Margaret Evans, CBC News, London.
[02:18:29] It's been 30 years since Tupac Shakur was gunned down. Who's
[02:18:33] responsible? One of hip hop's biggest
[02:18:36] mysteries Monday, former gang leader Dwayne Keffe
[02:18:39] D Davis faced a judge and jury in a Las Vegas courtroom,
[02:18:43] the only person ever charged in connection to the killing.
[02:18:46] Prosecutors say Davis didn't fire the shots but orchestrated
[02:18:50] it, calling Shakur's murder
[02:18:52] retribution for the beating of Davis's nephew. Ask yourself if
[02:18:56] what they're saying
[02:18:58] it's really true,
[02:19:01] fact or fiction. Shakur was shot 4 times after leaving the
[02:19:05] Mike Tyson boxing match. Police say a white Cadillac pulled up
[02:19:09] alongside the BMW carrying Shakur and opened fire. The
[02:19:12] first witness, a former Las Vegas police
[02:19:15] officer who was in the ambulance with Shakur as he was
[02:19:19] rushed to hospital.
[02:19:22] Convince him to tell me the name of whoever is assailants
[02:19:26] were and did he ever respond Yes, he responded no, no, we'll,
[02:19:30] we'll take care of it. Shakur died six days later.
[02:19:33] Prosecutors are relying heavily on Davis's own words,
[02:19:37] police and TV interviews and a 2019 tell All memoir. I would
[02:19:41] like you guys to buy it and get the real truth. His defence now
[02:19:46] says those statements were made-up to sell books and make
[02:19:50] money. Shakur's cousin doesn't
[02:19:52] quiet. Of course he's gonna evade accountability by saying
[02:19:56] or claiming that he embellished what he proudly boasted about
[02:20:01] for the last 15 years.
[02:20:04] Facts of the case is still capturing attention 30 years
[02:20:09] later. He was a multi talented artist whose life was cut short
[02:20:14] so short so early. I think it's just something that that
[02:20:18] fascinates people, especially at the time that hip
[02:20:23] hop is ascending
[02:20:25] even now, is whether prosecutors can turn
[02:20:28] Davis's own words into proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

[02:24:49] Tear down work has begun at Tumblr Ridge Secondary School
[02:24:51] months after a mass shooting killed 6 people,
[02:24:54] including five children. We spoke to our Matt Pre post
[02:24:57] earlier today who talked about the work that has now begun.
[02:25:02] Yeah, Hi Michelle. As you can see
[02:25:04] behind me is the South wing of the former Tumblr Ridge
[02:25:07] Secondary School scraped down to its metal beams today. Now
[02:25:11] this is where the schools auto shop class was for the trades
[02:25:15] area was located. There was even a fish farm that students
[02:25:19] enjoyed in this part of the school.
[02:25:23] The school has been around for as long as the town itself.
[02:25:26] It's held a lot of memories and of course there's been a lot of
[02:25:30] emotions today. As Rat residents gathered on the
[02:25:32] hillside next to me watching it come down after the events of
[02:25:36] February 10th, I spoke to one resident who
[02:25:38] came out to watch today's demolition get underway. Here's
[02:25:42] what Chris Norbury had to say. There's a lot of good lot of
[02:25:45] good memories here in Tumblr Ridge that have happened at
[02:25:48] that school. And I think it's very natural that a lot of
[02:25:52] those past feelings are coming back.
[02:25:54] But you know, this is going to be the start
[02:25:56] of the next chapter of Tumblr Ridge and it's and its students,
[02:25:59] you know, the, you know, the the student body and the
[02:26:02] teachers had their had their opportunity to say what they
[02:26:04] wanted and this is what they want. And you know,
[02:26:07] I stand behind them. And
[02:26:13] as you just heard from Chris Norbury,
[02:26:15] students and teachers had a big say in determining the future
[02:26:18] of this school. The community was also asked for their input
[02:26:21] and majority supporting tearing down the school
[02:26:25] is happening for students as they wait for their new school
[02:26:28] to be built.
[02:26:30] We also dropped by the Tumblr Ridge Elementary School site
[02:26:34] just a few blocks away. That's where a temporary modular
[02:26:37] campus for students has been set up and is being expanded.
[02:26:40] Crews were building a gathering space today that's going to be
[02:26:44] open for the new year, the new school year. There's
[02:26:47] about 8 or 9 classroom pods about, you know,
[02:26:50] 2 counseling areas, some offices. There's a mobile
[02:26:53] trades training classroom that's also been set up. The
[02:26:56] site behind me, the former secondary school
[02:26:59] here, is going to be returned
[02:27:01] to grasp that work will be complete by the fall. Of course,
[02:27:04] the school district is working on designs and concepts that
[02:27:07] plans to bring to consultations with the community later this
[02:27:10] year. And of course, discussions are also going to
[02:27:13] get underway. But what a future memorial site here in the
[02:27:15] community might look like. I spoke with Mayor Darrell
[02:27:18] Krakowska. Here's what he had to say. When we talk about the
[02:27:21] memorial permit memorial, that'll be dictated by the
[02:27:24] families that have lost loved ones and as they as they go
[02:27:27] through their grieving stages and stuff and are prepared to
[02:27:30] have that conversation into the district. And we'll have a conversation. And with
[02:27:34] that permanent mural looks like and what location it would like
[02:27:36] to see that, you know, whether that is where the
[02:27:38] secondary school was or if it's another place in the community
[02:27:41] they feel more comfortable with.
[02:27:44] Michelle, like I said, a lot of emotions here in the
[02:27:47] community today watching this Tumblr Ridge Secondary School
[02:27:51] come down and a lot of work still to do to bring some sense
[02:27:54] of closure and normalcy for students and families.
[02:27:59] Since KL Hockey started its summer camp last month,
[02:28:01] CBC News has learned one of its lead instructors continued to
[02:28:04] work with kids until last week, despite having pleaded guilty
[02:28:07] in April to two counts of assaulting children known to
[02:28:10] him. That instructor is Bradley Gibbs,
[02:28:12] a Durham Regional Police officer. CBC News spoke with
[02:28:15] one of the victims, who is now an adult.
[02:28:18] To one of those camps. I would
[02:28:20] be really concerned we've altered their voice and hidden
[02:28:23] their identity because it's protected by a court ordered
[02:28:26] publication ban. They say Gibbs is a cofounder of the camp and
[02:28:30] believes the camp's owners knew about his guilty pleas. They
[02:28:33] would never hire someone with a criminal record like that, so
[02:28:38] I think I want people to agree with me that I'm being fired
[02:28:41] from this job would be fair. After CBC News reached out to
[02:28:44] Kyle Hockey and Gibbs, the camp sent an e-mail to
[02:28:47] parents last week saying Gibbs would no longer be working at
[02:28:50] the camp. Given the recent attention surrounding this
[02:28:53] matter, Brad believes that stepping
[02:28:55] back is in the best interest of our players,
[02:28:57] families in camp community, wrote camp director Amanda
[02:29:00] Tales. The e-mail to parents included a letter from Gibbs
[02:29:04] saying he took full responsibility for a personal
[02:29:06] legal matter, saying he accepted
[02:29:08] accountability for my lapse in judgment. Neither Gibbs nor the
[02:29:11] camp elaborated what the legal matter was in their messages to
[02:29:15] parents. In a statement to CBC News,
[02:29:17] Kale Hockey said it would not be making any further comments
[02:29:20] while the case is still before the courts. Gibbs did not
[02:29:24] respond to our request for an interview. In Ontario,
[02:29:26] there is no legislation requiring summer camps to
[02:29:29] perform security checks of their staff. The Ontario Camps
[02:29:32] Association says it requires its 400 members to perform
[02:29:35] criminal background checks, but its membership is voluntary,
[02:29:39] and the association says it does not mandate what action
[02:29:42] camp leaders should take after those checks are completed. And
[02:29:45] Kale Hockey doesn't have to follow those same standards
[02:29:48] because it's not a member of the association. The Ministry
[02:29:51] of Education requires day camps for children under 4 to get a
[02:29:54] childcare license. Each staff member has to complete a
[02:29:57] vulnerable sectors check, a deeper screening process that
[02:30:00] includes criminal background checks for anyone with
[02:30:03] positions of authority over kids. But camps for older kids
[02:30:06] don't fall under the ministry scope. This is a big gap in in
[02:30:09] in the legislation would need to worry is an employment lawyer based out of
[02:30:13] Toronto. He says Ontario should be mandating vulnerable sector
[02:30:16] checks for anyone entrusted with caring for children.
[02:30:19] Parents are entitled to expect a safe system. They are not
[02:30:22] expected to become private investigators. The camp bears
[02:30:25] the responsibility to screen, supervise and act on relevant
[02:30:28] information. The Ministry of Education would not provide
[02:30:31] answers to our questions asking why these types of checks are
[02:30:34] not mandated across day and overnight camps and whether
[02:30:37] there are any safeguards in place to ensure staff and
[02:30:40] volunteers at these camps do not have criminal convictions. CBC News
[02:30:43] also asked the Ministry of the Solicitor General whether the
[02:30:47] province would consider creating that legislation. We
[02:30:49] did not receive a response. Germ Regional Police told CBC
[02:30:53] News Gibbs has been redeployed from frontline patrol duties to
[02:30:56] an administrative role. It said it will determine whether he
[02:30:59] will be subject to a disciplinary hearing after the
[02:31:02] outcome of his court case. Gives is scheduled to be back
[02:31:05] in court for sentencing next month. Christian Devino. CBC News Lindsey.
[02:31:14] PEI RCMP say artificial intelligence is being used to
[02:31:17] target children and it's happening more often. Police
[02:31:21] say AI generated or manipulated content makes up about 1/3 of
[02:31:25] RCMP investigations into child sexual abuse and exploitation
[02:31:30] material. Approximately 33% of our investigations and material
[02:31:35] are now involving AI generated material. Under the Criminal
[02:31:39] Code, child sexual abuse and
[02:31:41] exploitation material is illegal.
[02:31:44] There are charges for making, possessing,
[02:31:47] distributing and accessing this kind of material,
[02:31:50] and it doesn't matter whether it's AI generated or not.
[02:31:54] Experts say AI generated images can be based on real children,
[02:31:58] often using stolen images. If you think about how AI models
[02:32:02] are created in the 1st place, they basically scrape the
[02:32:06] Internet. It's a vast vaping operation that indiscriminately
[02:32:10] vacuums up images all across the Internet. Marcus says it's
[02:32:14] not just strangers online who are using AI to create illegal
[02:32:18] content. He says it's been a growing problem in schools with
[02:32:22] students taking images of their classmates and altering them.
[02:32:27] With AI, you'll have students who will
[02:32:29] retrieve innocuous images on social media of their
[02:32:32] classmates and based on that are able to notify them using a
[02:32:36] widely available notification. Apps that are powered by
[02:32:40] generative AI and that are widely available on app stores.
[02:32:44] Kaiser says it's important
[02:32:46] the parents to talk to their kids about what it means to
[02:32:50] post pictures online. As soon as we allowed our children to
[02:32:54] have devices, which puts them on social media
[02:32:57] platforms, you have to have those types of
[02:33:00] conversations about what can happen if you post and what
[02:33:03] sites you should be on and how to not feel that if you do make
[02:33:08] these posts. And if something does happen,
[02:33:10] you shouldn't be afraid to come to a parent and have those
[02:33:14] types of conversations or somebody you trust
[02:33:17] about what's going on with you because it's very difficult if
[02:33:21] you're dealing with something like that alone. Kaiser says
[02:33:24] parents have to be cautious of what they post online,
[02:33:27] too. Although it's wonderful to sit and take pictures of her
[02:33:30] children and and place them on the Internet and show that this
[02:33:34] is the first day of school and whatnot,
[02:33:36] we have to be aware that these images
[02:33:39] can be taken from the Internet and utilized and manipulated in
[02:33:43] a wide variety of ways. Kaiser says people should be aware of
[02:33:47] who their audience is and who their posts are visible to. He
[02:33:50] says anyone who knows of somebody creating this kind of
[02:33:54] material should report it to local law enforcement
[02:33:57] immediately. Gwyneth Egan, CBC News, Charlottetown.
[02:36:07] Visit any superstore, No Frills or independent grocer
[02:36:09] in Saskatchewan and you'll now find beef from Australia on the
[02:36:12] shelves. You'll also find it's nearly half the price of
[02:36:16] Canadian beef. Loblaws, which owns the Grocery Outlet,
[02:36:19] has added the meat as another option for consumers,
[02:36:22] but it's putting customers in a tough spot. Buy cheap or by
[02:36:25] Canadian. Well, I think it makes sense if the
[02:36:28] price is so high that people are going to look to something
[02:36:46] Probably not, but we'll see
[02:36:49] at some point I may taste it and see. It's hard to believe
[02:36:52] they can ship it all the way and it'd be a lot cheaper.
[02:36:56] Loblaw says it remains committed to supporting
[02:36:59] Canadian beef producers while providing its customers with
[02:37:02] choice and value. The head of the Canadian Cattle Association
[02:37:06] says international beef on the shelf doesn't hurt local
[02:37:09] producers as their feeding methods make for a different
[02:37:13] product. The result is is really a product that is leaner,
[02:37:16] doesn't tend to have, you know, quite the same
[02:37:19] marbling and you know, and therefore isn't as
[02:37:22] preferred in well in in Canada as compared to the Canadian
[02:37:26] produced beef. Fulton says thanks to the Trans Pacific
[02:37:30] Partnership, Australian exported beef is
[02:37:33] filling a void here, while Canadian products do
[02:37:36] better in markets like Japan and Vietnam. But he also thinks
[02:37:40] the low price of Australian meat in Loblaws grocery stores
[02:37:44] could hurt the retailer. The other likely big factor here is
[02:37:48] that, you know, retailers
[02:37:50] still use a lost leader tactic where they will, you know,
[02:37:54] drop the price of of a certain product even below what it cost
[02:37:58] for them to bring it in. And he says that could cost Loblaws
[02:38:03] money in the end. But for the average grocery shopper,
[02:38:06] quality and cost will stay in consideration when they get to
[02:38:21] CBC News, Regina.
[02:38:25] Quebec oil producer Chantal van Winden says the products coming
[02:38:29] out of her field are 100% authentic. We're proud of this
[02:38:32] because we know we're nourishing well,
[02:38:35] the soul. We also know that we're nourishing well,
[02:38:38] the humans. This is camelina, an ancient crop in the mustard
[02:38:42] family. Oil is produced from its seeds. Van Winden says it
[02:38:46] can be directly traced from this field
[02:38:49] to the bottle, unlike some olive oil on the
[02:38:52] Canadian market. People are realizing that there's a big
[02:38:55] issue with olive oil quality. The Canadian Food Inspection
[02:38:59] Agency found that in about 1 out of 3 bottles it tested,
[02:39:02] the olive oil was either tampered with lower quality
[02:39:06] oils or misrepresented claims that it was extra virgin,
[02:39:09] unrefined, or cold pressed. In fact,
[02:39:11] the CFIA says that out of all of the food it tested,
[02:39:15] olive oil had the lowest compliance rate for
[02:39:18] authenticity testing. It's why Van Winden
[02:39:20] and other oil producers wrote an open letter to customers. We
[02:39:24] have to say to the world, to the to people for to
[02:39:27] Canadians that we do have other alternative. Olive oil fraud is
[02:39:31] a worldwide problem. In 2023, cases hit a record high in
[02:39:35] Europe, olive production has been going
[02:39:37] down and therefore olive oil production has been going down,
[02:39:41] which drove up the price. If there's money to be made,
[02:39:44] chances are people will try at some point. Last year,
[02:39:47] the CFIA intercepted about 7000 liters of adulterated olive oil,
[02:39:51] preventing
[02:39:53] from being sold. Michel Fabozzi says he checks every batch of
[02:39:57] olive oil he imports.
[02:40:01] Lab tests confirm its authenticity. Favuzza
[02:40:03] recommends consumers taste the product before using it. He
[02:40:07] says it should smell grassy, not like walnuts. The higher
[02:40:10] the quality, usually the more peppery and
[02:40:13] bitterness it has because it has more polyphenols,
[02:40:16] which are antioxidants. Favuzza says the more information is
[02:40:19] offered on the label, such as harvest date,
[02:40:22] olive oil variety and place of origin for the better. Gloria
[02:40:26] Enriquez, CBC News, Montreal.
[02:40:30] Bridget McGuinness stuffs a new backpack with crayons, pencils,
[02:40:33] paper and any other classroom necessity you can think of. She
[02:40:37] says every year the need for Parker Streets Back to School
[02:40:41] program only grows. The demand is strong,
[02:40:44] whether it's for food, furniture,
[02:40:46] the back to school program. We, we do run many various programs
[02:40:50] and what we're finding is that our lineups are getting longer.
[02:40:54] This year, the charity will give out up to
[02:40:57] 1000 backpacks to children in need.
[02:41:00] According to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives,
[02:41:03] Nova Scotia continues to have one of the highest rates of
[02:41:07] childhood poverty in the country. That's why Kate
[02:41:10] Peppler's organization is also handing out backpacks to
[02:41:13] students identified by community and school social
[02:41:16] workers. So when you're already in a vulnerable situation or
[02:41:20] already low income, the added stress of how am I
[02:41:23] going to get my kids what they need to thrive at school and
[02:41:27] can be a big stressor on families. Last year,
[02:41:30] the Nova Scotia
[02:41:31] government made a permanent boost to income assistance to
[02:41:35] help with school related costs. In August,
[02:41:38] eligible families will receive an additional $100 per child
[02:41:42] aged 5 to 12 and $200 per child aged 13 to 18. But local
[02:41:46] charities must still fill in the gaps. Peppler thinks Nova
[02:41:50] Scotia should consider covering the cost of all essential
[02:41:54] school supplies for students like what's done in PEI.
[02:41:58] There's always more supports that can be offered,
[02:42:01] more that can be done. In Cape Breton,
[02:42:04] several community groups are coming together to distribute
[02:42:07] 2500 free backpacks with supplies to students across the
[02:42:11] island. I spoke to a single mom of three kids yesterday and she
[02:42:15] she was in tears. And she just, she simply looked at me and she
[02:42:18] said
[02:42:20] if it was going to be this or gas in my car or maybe less
[02:42:23] food on my table and a little girl,
[02:42:25] her backpack. And she dropped to the knees and said,
[02:42:29] this is so beautiful. And that's why we're here doing
[02:42:32] what we do because we love helping people. As the new
[02:42:35] school year inches closer, the organizations are still
[02:42:39] welcoming monetary and physical donations to help support those
[02:42:43] who need it most. Selena Alders, CBC News, Halifax.
[02:42:48] Now to some breaking news. Are you
[02:42:50] World News fast? We're gathering at one of those
[02:42:53] turning points in history, but a headline isn't the whole
[02:42:56] story. Get the facts that matter. Why is that your focus

[02:45:03] As another tariff deadline looms,
[02:45:05] this Abbotsford business owner is worried it poses an
[02:45:09] existential threat to my business. On any given month,
[02:45:12] I shipped 25 to 50% of my sales to United States.
[02:45:19] Blaine Marini's business manufacturers wallpaper,
[02:45:22] stickers and decals. His products are among nearly $28
[02:45:25] billion worth of Canadian goods the US is threatening to slap
[02:45:29] 50% tariffs on come Wednesday. I have to either adapt or it'll
[02:45:32] mean changes to the way I do business here,
[02:45:35] which could include staff changes,
[02:45:39] even fast to ship orders before the tariff deadline. It
[02:45:42] actually has been overwhelming. I think about it every day.
[02:45:45] International tensions causing major concerns,
[02:45:48] especially for local businesses here in Abbotsford with its
[02:45:51] close cross-border ties, manufacturing and agriculture.
[02:45:54] We've got more than 300 businesses that are exporting
[02:45:57] to the United States. There's about a $1.5 billion in annual
[02:46:01] exports just out of Abbotsford alone. Mitchell says many of
[02:46:04] those exporters are up to 90% reliant on the US market. When
[02:46:08] there's this constantly
[02:46:09] changing tariff landscape, it's very challenging for
[02:46:12] customers and suppliers to continue to maintain those
[02:46:15] excellent trading relationships. the US claims it's imposing the
[02:46:19] tariffs because of Canadian discrimination toward its
[02:46:21] automobile, dairy and alcohol sectors. For
[02:46:24] example, it wants US liquor back on the
[02:46:26] shelves A provincially run stores. Ottawa is still pushing
[02:46:29] for an agreement with Washington. A key priority is
[02:46:32] to have Trump lower existing sectorial tariffs that have
[02:46:35] been punishing the steel, aluminum,
[02:46:37] auto and lumber industries. So a lot of companies are already
[02:46:40] dealing with this, where they've had to do layoffs,
[02:46:43] restructuring, unknown if they're going to be
[02:46:46] able to to survive, you know, this next, you know,
[02:46:49] wave that we're dealing with. Canada's Prime Minister is
[02:46:52] expected to speak to Trump in the next 48 hours,
[02:46:55] leaving business owners at the mercy of ongoing negotiations
[02:46:59] beneath breach. CBC News, Abbotsford.
[02:47:03] Now, American tariffs are most often paid by American consumers, but of course,
[02:47:07] they cut into the sales of both Canadian and American
[02:47:10] businesses. Look South of the border. The Howard family
[02:47:13] designs a custom furniture company in Michigan. It relies
[02:47:16] on Canadian lumber. As prices for their supplies go up,
[02:47:20] it's their customers who are struggling to absorb sudden
[02:47:23] added costs and the loss of business forces that company to
[02:47:27] make hard decisions. Michael Howard runs it. He joins us now
[02:47:37] the prospect of yet more tariffs again tomorrow morning.
[02:47:40] What, what would that mean in the
[02:47:42] grand scheme of things for you?
[02:47:46] It it means that provide for my family is going to be more
[02:47:50] challenging with the looming tariffs. We know we've already
[02:47:54] lost one potential project for a hospital that we were going
[02:47:58] to build some desk and furniture for. And 50% tariff
[02:48:02] will put it well beyond their range of affordability. So walk
[02:48:06] that through for me, because it's not just that it's
[02:48:10] becoming too expensive, it, it is that you are losing
[02:48:14] business. So this this desk for instance, are these deaths to produce
[02:48:18] because of the tariffs? It would just get too expensive
[02:48:20] for the customer themselves,
[02:48:24] correct? So we we can't absorb the
[02:48:26] increase in cost. And so knowing these tariffs were
[02:48:29] coming in place, I had to follow up with several
[02:48:32] of my clients and let them know one person's getting a kitchen
[02:48:36] done. We're building their kitchen cabinets which use
[02:48:39] softwood lumber that does come from Canada and in terms of
[02:48:43] plywood and, and they're willing to absorb
[02:48:45] the extra cost. This other client was not. And so we're
[02:48:49] going to lose about $3000 of profit just for this one client
[02:48:52] because they're not willing to absorb the increased,
[02:48:55] I'll say I the president's tariffs is gonna place. And so
[02:48:59] you have to absorb it,
[02:49:03] either have to absorb it or pass it along to the customer.
[02:49:06] And because we're such a small company,
[02:49:08] it's like we don't have the means to just absorb the
[02:49:11] increased cost. It would be too harsh for us. We can't afford
[02:49:15] it. And so we'd have to pass it along. I've already had to,
[02:49:18] I've already lost the staff member because we the decrease
[02:49:21] in business. You've had to let people go because this is
[02:49:24] impacting your bottom line.
[02:49:27] Unfortunately, yes, I have. You know, if,
[02:49:29] if the US president, if you were president was on in
[02:49:32] this conversation with us, he would probably say, well,
[02:49:35] why don't you use American lumber instead?
[02:49:37] So I'd put that to you, what what is the benefit of
[02:49:39] Canadian lumber
[02:49:43] that you guys have it The we do not have the capacity for
[02:49:47] lumber or aluminum, it's to meet the need. And we
[02:49:50] know when the demand is high and the supply is low that
[02:49:54] drives up the cost is like basic like you know,
[02:49:58] middle school economics. You guys have the lumber. We get
[02:50:02] about 70% of our softwood lumber from Canada. We can't
[02:50:06] even imagine building a a lumber mill to bring a lumber
[02:50:10] mill online in time.
[02:50:12] It's just nearly impossible. It takes years to bring a lumber
[02:50:15] mill online and it will decimate our forests. Whereas
[02:50:18] we have a great relationship with Canada or at least had one.
[02:50:21] And that partnership is so meaningful in regards of the
[02:50:24] lumber industry had you guys have the supply that we. Yeah,
[02:50:27] sorry, I don't mean Michael to cut you
[02:50:29] off, but I do wonder, was tariffs a word that was
[02:50:32] even spoken inside your business a few years ago?
[02:50:36] Absolutely not. As a small business owner,
[02:50:38] there are so many challenges in life when you're running a
[02:50:42] family owned business and our our business really does pride
[02:50:45] itself on giving back to the community. So outside of
[02:50:48] running a business, our main conversation is how
[02:50:51] can we pour back into our community. Now we're having our
[02:50:54] conversation outside of running our business is global
[02:50:58] economics and how are terrorists going to impact our
[02:51:01] customers, impact our staff members and
[02:51:03] impact our ability to provide for our families?
[02:51:06] Michael, look, you're not far from the border,
[02:51:08] but here we are north of the border. It's the top story
[02:51:11] today. It's probably gonna be the top story nationally
[02:51:13] tomorrow. People are talking about it. People are worried
[02:51:16] about it, a lot of businesses. And yet South of the border, it's it's barely making the
[02:51:20] news. It doesn't seem like people are talking about it. If
[02:51:23] they are, it's quiet lobbying, like the automakers are doing
[02:51:26] quiet lobbying of the White House. Few people are saying it
[02:51:29] out loud. Why do you think that is?
[02:51:32] I unfortunately, I think it is genuine fear. The,
[02:51:35] the reality is it is Congress's job to levy taxes and tariffs.
[02:51:40] And we have a president that is operating outside,
[02:51:43] in my opinion, outside of his means,
[02:51:46] and no one's really holding him accountable. And it's
[02:51:49] negatively impacting businesses like myself,
[02:51:52] but businesses across the US and across the border. And so I
[02:51:56] think there's a fear of if I speak out,
[02:51:59] I'll get retaliated against in regards to
[02:52:02] lobbyists and, and people that would normally
[02:52:04] be discussing this or news outlets,
[02:52:06] especially news outlets. We have seen that if a news outlet
[02:52:09] speaks out, they will be punished. But the
[02:52:12] reality is they're not speaking out on behalf of that news
[02:52:15] outlet. They're speaking out depending families like mine.
[02:52:18] And you know, school is about to get started
[02:52:20] soon. And so like, we're going to need paper for
[02:52:23] our kids and we're going to need school supplies and
[02:52:26] pencils and all those things are impacted by the lumber
[02:52:29] industry. And a 50% tariff on lumber will make it just simply
[02:52:32] make it harder for parents
[02:52:33] have 4 kids. It'll make it harder for us to be able to buy
[02:52:36] school supplies. It would be harder for teachers that are
[02:52:39] already underpaid, under supplied,
[02:52:41] and now they're going to have to come out of their pockets
[02:52:44] even more. It'll make it harder for business owners like me. So
[02:52:47] life in general is going to be very difficult. I think people
[02:52:50] aren't speaking out out of fear. If you're right. If it is that
[02:52:53] people aren't speaking out of fear,
[02:52:55] you're speaking out right now,
[02:52:58] does that mean you're not scared?
[02:53:01] No, no, I'm not. I, I think it is our job to,
[02:53:04] to speak up when we see a injustice and what's going on
[02:53:08] is, is injustice and it's not, it's,
[02:53:10] it's harming our community. And so when we see harm,
[02:53:14] we have to speak out. These terrorists were initially
[02:53:18] allegedly put in place because of
[02:53:21] theory about explicit drugs coming into America,
[02:53:24] and then it was a retaliation. And now there's another
[02:53:28] explanation, another explanation. And and
[02:53:30] it's like we want to support American businesses,
[02:53:33] so we place these tariffs and this is doing the exact
[02:53:37] opposite. Some businesses and our county have had to close
[02:53:40] because they rely on Canadian aluminum and they're having to
[02:53:44] close because of these tariffs and over the last couple years,
[02:53:48] not just now.
[02:53:50] All right, Michael Howard, thank you very much.
[02:53:53] Thank you so much.
[02:59:49] Hi there Canada, my favorite word.
[02:59:52] Tariff. We're already hearing about layoffs.
[02:59:56] So you have questions? How seriously are you taking this threat?
[02:59:59] How is Hamilton bracing for tariff impact?
[03:00:01] Our journalist countrywide and all over the world are on the
[03:00:06] case. Canada, we got you and we are right
