THAT'S HAPPENING TOMORROW. >> Deana: THANKS, [00:04:28] A I have no announcement to make about an election today. [00:04:31] It's a line BC Premier David EB repeated to reporters, [00:04:34] acknowledging the rampant speculation but not calling the [00:04:38] snap election many are bracing for. At least not yet. And I [00:04:42] don't think it's ever a bad idea to ask British Columbians, [00:04:45] especially at a moment like this, [00:04:47] about which direction we should be going. EB has already [00:04:51] selected a campaign manager and warned Elections BC and his [00:04:55] caucus to be election ready. It's been less than two [00:04:58] year since his NDP government was reelected with a narrow [00:05:02] margin, but the implosion of the [00:05:05] opposition has many predicting EB will try to capitalize on [00:05:09] their chaos. The exodus of BC Conservative MLA's continues, [00:05:13] the party losing 3 more Friday, including former party leader [00:05:17] John Rustad. That makes 12 in the past month, [00:05:20] amounting to 1/3 of their caucus gone. Many of them are [00:05:24] unhappy with their new leader, Carrie Lynn Findlay. I'm not [00:05:29] going anywhere, [00:05:30] so I'm now calling for her to step down. The premier will [00:05:33] impose on British Columbians that costly election 2 years [00:05:37] early. That's OK, we're ready. We're ready to go. [00:05:40] A message of defiance even as her party spirals deeper into [00:05:44] controversy. Ousted members claim the BC Conservative [00:05:48] Party's former executive director hired a private [00:05:51] investigator to look into a dozen people, [00:05:54] including several MLA's. Some who left the Conservative [00:05:57] caucus are now sitting as independents, others joining forces [00:06:01] under a party called Centre BC. We we're actually have a [00:06:05] running tally right now. We know we are at at 8 for sure. [00:06:08] Let's face it, it's a you know what show going [00:06:11] on with the VC Conservatives right now. The NDP is just [00:06:14] looking across the aisle and seeing three sort of centre [00:06:17] Conservative or further right Conservative parties and [00:06:20] thinking this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to have an [00:06:24] election where the opposition splits the vote and we can win [00:06:27] a comfortable majority to get us through the next four years. [00:06:31] The bigger question is [00:06:33] their voters are at. The latest polling reveals half of British [00:06:37] Columbians do want a change in government from the current NDP, [00:06:41] but 2/3 feel like the BC Conservatives are not ready to [00:06:44] govern. And if that's not complicated enough, Tanya, [00:06:47] this is all coming at the same time as municipal elections in [00:06:51] BC. That's right, a provincial election now would [00:06:55] coincide with and threaten to over shadow the civic elections [00:06:58] that are happening across BC next month. So municipal [00:07:02] leaders are urging the premier [00:07:04] not to trigger overlapping and perhaps competing elections. [00:07:07] Paul. Alright, Thanks, Tanya. That's Tanya Fletcher in [00:07:10] Vancouver tonight.

But with the [00:18:19] provincial election less than two weeks away, [00:18:24] many voters here have different priorities, [00:18:27] including the economy amid U.S. trade war. Thurmont paper. So I [00:18:31] says everyone is paying for the high cost of tariffs, [00:18:34] including here at the grocery store. Says this senior [00:18:39] trade war is really bad, says this voter who wants [00:18:42] stability amid broad economic anxiety. Support for Quebec [00:18:46] independence is at its lowest level in decades. Just 27% of [00:18:51] Quebecers say they would vote yes if another referendum was [00:18:55] held, according to a recent poll. [00:18:59] The party Quebecois campaigning for change No, [00:19:02] promising not to hold a referendum until U.S. President [00:19:05] Donald Trump is out of office. And of course, [00:19:08] the question of the tariffs is part of the election. And our [00:19:12] answer is that we have the best team. The nationalist but [00:19:16] staunchly federalist CAQ, deeply unpopular in the polls [00:19:20] until recently, is using the trade war to [00:19:23] attempt a political comeback. Leader Kirsten Frechette [00:19:26] arguing Quebeckers needs stability. [00:19:29] The Mama now is not the time to launch a referendum, [00:19:33] she says. In fact, it's the worst moment in the [00:19:36] last 50 years. There's no party right now that is trying to [00:19:39] make Quebec independence the question of the ballot. This [00:19:43] political scientist says Trump's return to office [00:19:46] appears to have caused a sharp drop in support for sovereignty. [00:19:50] It's not a decline that suggests that it has been a [00:19:53] change of conviction, but rather a change of context. [00:19:56] And it's really the context right now that is seen as not [00:20:00] ideal to support sovereignty. Talk of sovereignty still [00:20:03] continues to be an issue of debate on the campaign trail, [00:20:06] with five parties competitive to win seats looking for any [00:20:10] edge to sway Quebeckers at the ballot box. Alexander Silverman, [00:20:19] The latest round of US tariffs and Canadian counter tariffs [00:20:22] are creeping into your grocery store receipts. When will it [00:20:25] happen and why? Well, that depends on what you're [00:20:28] buying. The immediate consumer impact is pretty [00:20:31] straightforward. The Canadian counter tariffs range anywhere [00:20:34] from 25 to 50%. If you're buying, say, [00:20:37] American milk or cheese, American honey or American [00:20:40] makeup, you'll likely be paying more as [00:20:42] soon as the tariffed inventory hits the shelves, [00:20:45] keeping in mind that retailers still have some under tariff [00:20:48] stock to sell first. [00:20:49] Further down the road is when you'll start to see the tariffs [00:20:53] on raw materials like steel, aluminum and paper start to [00:20:56] show up. The consumer side will show up sooner because that's [00:21:00] on finished goods. But the long term impact, [00:21:03] or medium term I guess, is that as Canadian suppliers [00:21:06] buy some of the industrial raw materials like packaging and [00:21:09] things of that nature from the US, [00:21:11] that'll start to show up in consumer goods over the next [00:21:15] several months as those products are made and [00:21:18] distributed to Canadian retailers. So what are the [00:21:21] major grocers doing? Metro, who own Food Basics, [00:21:23] say they haven't seen price [00:21:25] increases from suppliers due to the tariffs. Yeah, law blah, [00:21:29] who own law, laws, No frills, Shoppers Drug Mart. Several [00:21:32] other grocery store banners say they're pushing back on [00:21:35] suppliers when they believe that increases aren't justified, [00:21:38] but when they are justified. When the terrorists increase [00:21:42] the cost for Loblaws, the company says that that is [00:21:45] going to reflect on the shelf. Penny for penny. To make things [00:21:48] easier, they are marking products with [00:21:50] the letter T to identify that it's been impacted by tariffs. [00:21:54] They're also keeping up with the Maple Leaf mark to identify [00:21:57] products of Canada or things made in Canada. The product of [00:22:00] Canada is when 98 [00:22:02] percent is from Canada. Made in Canada is 51%. And then you [00:22:05] have other things like design in Canada. Think you know what, [00:22:08] we're possible. If you can choose a product that has some [00:22:12] form of Canadian content, then you're helping Canadian. [00:22:15] If you want to avoid buying tariff goods at the grocery [00:22:18] store. It's pretty simple if you take the time to check the [00:22:21] labels. But as we move out of Canadian growing season, [00:22:24] that's when things become a little bit more challenging. We [00:22:28] can still buy Canadian milk. We can still buy Canadian cheese, [00:22:31] beef, pork, frozen vegetables, all of those sorts of things. [00:22:34] We can still buy Canadian, but in December and January [00:22:38] we're not going to buy domestic broccoli and we're not going to [00:22:41] buy domestic Brussels sprouts. So come winter time, [00:22:43] you can still avoid tariffs on a lot of goods, [00:22:46] but if you want to avoid them entirely, [00:22:48] you might have to swap out some of those weekly staples in your [00:22:51] grocery basket. [00:22:56] If you filled up your car recently, [00:22:58] you may have cringed at the price at the pump, [00:23:01] but for those who rely on diesel, [00:23:03] the picture is a lot more daunting. Of course is bad [00:23:06] because it will be increase everything right? [00:23:09] That's not a good for the company or for the owner [00:23:12] operator. Also because sometime I filled up diesel from outside [00:23:16] the Alberta they always prefer to You need to fill up your [00:23:20] fuel in the Arboretum. 1 truck driver I spoke to told me a [00:23:24] gravel company refused to deliver to his [00:23:26] construction site because of diesel prices. Others say while [00:23:30] it doesn't impact their personal pockets, [00:23:33] they are noticing a significant difference in their daily stop [00:23:36] for fuel. For our company, I think right now we are [00:23:39] spending double, yeah, [00:23:43] all the work is going on. Sometimes we have to stay home [00:23:46] just to wait for the loads because of the digit prices. [00:23:49] But the price of diesel goes beyond those who fill up at the [00:23:52] station. Diesel powers much of the economy, including freight trucks, trains, [00:23:57] agriculture and construction. For people who are the backbone [00:24:00] of the economy, the trucks, the trains, [00:24:02] the jet planes that move all the goods, [00:24:04] there's a need for them to continue to do it. And so [00:24:07] they'll they'll have to do it. They have to hope they can pass [00:24:10] through their higher costs to to their customers. [00:24:13] Says this isn't just a Canadian issue either, [00:24:17] It's worldwide. The oil issue from the Strait of Hormuz and [00:24:21] Middle East is bad and so that's pushing oil prices up. [00:24:25] But even more it's the the refineries that are struggling. [00:24:29] So the world is short millions of barrels a day of refined [00:24:33] products that normally would be available on the market. [00:24:37] Madison says even if prices go down as we get more supply, [00:24:42] there isn't enough refining capacity [00:24:44] to turn it into the things we use. As for the truck drivers I [00:24:48] spoke to, they say they are concerned [00:24:51] about the potential of diesel going up and also the cost of [00:24:54] regular gas getting out of hand. Nicole Healey, CBC News, [00:24:58] Edmonton. [00:27:06] Canadians love their salmon and imported more than $750 million [00:27:09] worth from countries like Norway, [00:27:11] much to this grin of Atlantic salmon farmers here who say [00:27:15] they could easily produce more for sale here. We have the [00:27:19] people, we have the coastline, we have the knowledge and we [00:27:22] have the will. Tom Taylor is with the Fish Farmers [00:27:26] Association and says the value of imports has doubled since [00:27:29] 2016. But he says there's room to grow and replace imports [00:27:33] with local fish. That 46, 000 metric tons of [00:27:36] Atlantic salmon that were raised to create the products [00:27:39] that were imported into Canada could be raised here and should [00:27:42] be raised here. [00:27:45] The industry says a big problem is the time it takes to get a [00:27:48] project approved here compared to other countries, [00:27:51] years compared to six months in Norway. That's a real challenge [00:27:55] that governments are going to need to answer. Saint John Bays [00:27:59] Cook Aquaculture operates in 16 countries and says that's been [00:28:03] their experience as we've grown globally. You know, [00:28:06] sometimes it's, it's better to invest and grow [00:28:08] in other places in the world, not necessarily here because of [00:28:12] the length of time that it takes to actually get new [00:28:15] operations established. [00:28:18] But those who view farm salmon as a threat to wild salmon are [00:28:22] against growing the industry by approving new farming sites. [00:28:25] The Atlantic Salmon Federation's Neville Crab says [00:28:28] there isn't much room to add new firms in New Brunswick and [00:28:32] Nova Scotia. And while Newfoundland has been [00:28:34] identified as a growth area, he says companies aren't even [00:28:38] fully utilizing their existing operations there. One way to [00:28:41] think of our position is stay where you are, [00:28:44] use what you have and do what you can. And even within the [00:28:47] existing licensed footprint of the industry, [00:28:50] there is truly room for expanding production. Cook is [00:28:54] already working on making its current sites more productive. [00:28:59] There are around a dozen people working on computers at this [00:29:02] Cook centre in Blacks Harbor, feeding and monitoring salmon [00:29:06] as close as Graham and Anne and as far away as Australia. [00:29:10] Innovative practices like this are at the centre of the [00:29:13] company's growth plans. We see growth of our existing [00:29:17] operations becoming much more productive and being able to [00:29:21] harvest fish in a shorter time period. Being able to grow our [00:29:25] fish larger in our land based facilities before they're [00:29:29] transferred to the ocean cages and then harvesting those fish [00:29:34] out for market quicker so we can utilize our existing farms [00:29:38] at a higher rate of production and capacity. [00:29:41] The industry is also making a renewed push to establish [00:29:44] operations in marine protected areas, [00:29:46] but that would mean lifting restrictions on medications and [00:29:50] other treatments in those areas. [00:29:52] The Conservation Council says that could include pesticides [00:29:55] to kill sea lice that could harm other marine life, [00:29:58] like lobsters. [00:30:00] They want to keep those areas off limits for salmon farming [00:30:03] purring from industry over the last few years. [00:30:08] They they don't want, you know, they've pretty much said [00:30:11] explicitly they don't want anywhere taken off the table [00:30:14] for aquaculture. They wanna see possibility for expansion [00:30:18] wherever technology allows them to go. The industry's critics [00:30:22] know that more growth may take place here. They just don't [00:30:25] want replacing salmon from places like Norway with salmon [00:30:29] raised in Canada to come at the expense of wild salmon and the [00:30:33] marine environment, yeah. [00:30:37] My grandchildren are a fearful of the future and I'm here as a [00:30:40] grandparent to say not good enough. David Swan is with the [00:30:43] group Seniors Climate Witness. 15 years ago, [00:30:46] he was the leader of the Alberta Liberal Party, [00:30:49] and he says that since then, the climate crisis has only [00:30:53] gotten worse. And it's so profoundly heartbreaking to see
