00:10:17Well, new reporting in U.S. media
00:10:19says President Donald Trump was hidden in an airport catering
00:10:22truck as part of an elaborate security operation prompted by
00:10:26an alleged Iranian assassination threat. The
00:10:28president was effectively smuggled out of Turkey after
00:10:31last month's NATO leaders summit when he swapped planes
00:10:34on the tarmac in a move that fooled some members of his own
00:10:38entourage and journalists accompanying him on the trip.
00:10:41The CBC's Caroline Barghout joins us now from Washington
00:10:44with the details. So, Caroline, what more can you tell us
00:10:47about the secret flight? So earthy? When U.S. President Donald
00:10:51Trump flew to Turkey, he actually flew on a plane
00:10:54that had been gifted to him from Qatar,
00:10:56and it had been refurbished and turned into the new Air Force
00:11:00One. But when he was leaving Turkey,
00:11:02he said he was going to take the old Air Force One. He
00:11:05didn't say this at the time, but we now know it's because
00:11:08the new Air Force One was sort of a rush job to convert it
00:11:12into a presidential plane, that it doesn't have all the
00:11:15security features. So he was going to fly on the old plane.
00:11:19Well, this old plane was actually
00:11:21used as a decoy, according to the Washington
00:11:24Post. And Trump actually flew out on a military plane. Now,
00:11:28this is how it was done. You can actually see the US
00:11:31president getting on to, we have a graphic that we're
00:11:35going to show you in just a minute where you can actually
00:11:38see the president getting on to the old Air Force One. And then
00:11:42you see behind him. There he is. He waves to reporters and to
00:11:47cameras. Then you'll see behind him there
00:11:49is a catering truck behind this plane, that white truck. Well,
00:11:53the cab of that truck was actually raised so that the
00:11:56president and some aides can get off the plane,
00:11:59get into that catering truck. And that catering truck drove
00:12:03him to a military plane. You see at the back of the plane,
00:12:06you see a bunch of people getting on. That is actually
00:12:09the president's press pool. They travel with him whenever
00:12:13he goes places, and they believe that he was on
00:12:16that plane, but he was not. Dan Lameth is
00:12:18one of the Washington Post
00:12:20reporters who broke this story. Take a listen to what he had to
00:12:23say.
00:12:26My understanding is there was some White House staff that did
00:12:30not know this was kept close hold in a small group. And
00:12:33obviously the White House press corps,
00:12:35which reported not only in that day but in the subsequent weeks
00:12:39as well that the president had traveled whole on me, quote,
00:12:42UN quote, old Air Force One. That's
00:12:44simply not the case, we're told.
00:12:47So reporters who were part of that press pool,
00:12:50who were on the old Air Force One,
00:12:52said that they were told to keep the shades down on the
00:12:55windows for the entirety of the plane. When they asked why that
00:12:59was, they were told the Secret
00:13:01Service had wanted that, so they weren't allowed to look
00:13:04outside. Now, interestingly, the president was actually seen
00:13:07getting off the old Air Force One when it landed in the UK.
00:13:11We don't know at this point how he got back on it from the
00:13:14military plane. Once he did get off it, he got on to the Qatari
00:13:18lane and flew back to Washington.
00:13:21Now, of course, we know that the security
00:13:23threat must have been quite high in order to go through
00:13:26this elaborate plan. Let's talk about that for a moment.
00:13:30That's right, Arthi. The there was a credible
00:13:33threat to the president's life from Iran. And this actually
00:13:36happened at the time when the US and Iranian negotiations had
00:13:40fallen apart and the US had resumed attacks on Iran. When
00:13:43Trump was asked on this new Qatari plane,
00:13:46he was with the reporters again with the pool. They asked him
00:13:50about the Iranian threat and here's what he had to say.
00:13:55Were you aware of any credible threat by Iran against her
00:13:58Right all the time. I'm number one on their list before you.
00:14:03But if I go, you go, right?
00:14:06The White House has not acknowledged this bait and
00:14:09switch decoy plane operation. OK Caroline,
00:14:11thank you for these details. That is the CBC's Caroline
00:14:15Barghout reporting from Washington.
00:21:45These are videos inside overseas drug labs sent to us
00:21:47from people claiming to produce a synthetic opioid more than 40
00:21:51times stronger than fentanyl.
00:21:54Check it out. Ready to be smuggled into Canada. And The
00:21:57thing is, all we had to do was respond to
00:21:59ads and posts on social media, and within minutes,
00:22:02we're on the phone with criminals.
00:22:04This is illegal in Canada, right? You know that. Yeah,
00:22:07I know the drug Knight Azines, a deadly opioid that's popping
00:22:11up all over the world. Nitrazine. Nitrazine. Nitrazine.
00:22:14They're called a netizens. I see people coughing up blood on
00:22:17seeing people dying. And we're going to take you inside this
00:22:21emerging crisis. It can kill people, right?
00:22:23I just want you to make sure you know that
00:22:29netizens are so powerful, it can be hard to wrap your
00:22:33head around. So to give you an idea,
00:22:35let's start with morphine. Heroin is roughly 2 times more
00:22:39potent than morphine. Fentanyl is up to 40 times stronger than
00:22:43heroin and night Azines, they're up to 43 times stronger
00:22:46than fentanyl, and they're killing people
00:22:49around the world. It took just one and it was poison. He was
00:22:53unresponsive on the bed and he was he was turning blue. He'd
00:22:57already gone. So how many people have died in Canada?
00:23:00And we ask every corner across the country. And since 2021,
00:23:03there have been over 300 deaths caused or suspected to be
00:23:07caused by netizens.
00:23:10The drugs are flowing into Canada. In recent years,
00:23:12police have seized medicines and busts across the country. 2
00:23:16busts in Quebec alone last year accounted for over a million
00:23:19fake pharmaceutical pills laced with night azines. Why would
00:23:22criminals want to use night azines when fentanyl is right
00:23:26there? Obviously not a fan of
00:23:27organized crime groups, but they're going to look for
00:23:30more efficiencies, right? And if you have a more potent
00:23:33drug that can be cut and achieve the same effect with
00:23:36lower volumes, that's appealing. Where are these noises coming from? 75%
00:23:40are are coming from China. Here's a mugshot of Ontario man
00:23:44Matthew Fan CBS a intercepted shipments of night Azines from
00:23:47China allegedly for him hidden in pet food. So where are
00:23:50people finding netizens online ads are are are how this this
00:23:53market functions right now. You know there's going to be
00:23:56websites that might advertise it ownership. Each time a
00:23:59website gets taken down, it's back up the next day. If
00:24:02you close down the business entity overseas,
00:24:05they're going to recreate a commercial enterprise the next
00:24:08day under a different business name. Our investigation,
00:24:11supported by open source investigators at Bellingcat,
00:24:14found hundreds of netizen ads and posts all over the Internet,
00:24:18images of powders, chemical names for various
00:24:21night azines and contact info on platforms like ex Reddit,
00:24:24LinkedIn, Google and perhaps which is
00:24:27owned by Adobe. We also find them on ecommerce websites in
00:24:30India.
00:24:34So we respond to dozens of these ads and within minutes
00:24:38we're on the phone with criminals,
00:24:4014 different sellers who are all part of a global network
00:24:44based in India, China, the UK and the US. We find this
00:24:47seller on Exporters India you. Rush Enterprises says they're
00:24:51an Indian pharma trading company that's been in business
00:24:55for over a decade. Is it coming from India or China?
00:24:58Coming from India,
00:24:59because recently due to the the issues going on between the US
00:25:03and China with the tariffs, there's been a lot of blockage
00:25:07from China. So you know it's because it's illegal in Canada,
00:25:11right? Yeah, I understand it's dangerous as
00:25:13well to if it's the wrong supply, it can kill someone.
00:25:19They reveal how they smuggle it into Canada. What do you label
00:25:24it as? Yeah, usually it can either be a
00:25:27caffeine detergent. Sometimes we can go with the spices. The
00:25:31seller who says he's from the UK has another way he hides
00:25:36drugs.
00:25:38Maybe you put it on your on your grams in basketball and
00:25:42everything to you. Others show us how they conceal night
00:25:46azines and Chinese herbal products and teapots and they
00:25:50can be delivered the same day that we use most often is,
00:25:54you know, they're from Michigan, Detroit to, you know,
00:25:58Winsell. So we use the tunnel and that's easy,
00:26:01easy movement. How long would it take?
00:26:04Maximum should be about 10 hours. We get so many images
00:26:08from sellers, barrels of chemicals and pill presses,
00:26:11we start to notice similarities. These sellers claim to be
00:26:15different, but they use the same scales
00:26:18and the same Bitcoin address.
00:26:23We ask all the sellers to show us proof they've sent drugs to
00:26:27Canada before. One who calls himself Jerry shares images and
00:26:30videos of their lab in China.
00:26:33This is a video for Eric on May 22,
00:26:352025. And records of past shipments to Quebec labeled as
00:26:39pearlescent pigments. And this one to Ontario,
00:26:42which has a clue, a tracking number. We put it
00:26:45into the FedEx tracking system. It leaves Beijing and arrives
00:26:50in the US in Anchorage, AK, then Memphis before being
00:26:53delivered in Waterloo. OR worried that this will continue
00:26:57to ring to rise as as an ongoing threat. Crime groups
00:27:00are not dealing with product, they're dealing with death.
00:29:29Jet plane it up to the sky. For years,
00:29:30a Facebook account linked to Dallas Mccornick shared a
00:29:34travel adventures like this in London, Mexico,
00:29:37LA. Now he has pleaded guilty to wire fraud after posing as a
00:29:41pilot and taking free flights for years. This was a special
00:29:45case that probably made it more difficult to get this person
00:29:49because this person knew the system and knew the workings
00:29:53based on court documents. But Kornik did work as a flight
00:29:57attendant for Toronto based airline
00:29:59from 2017 to 2019, but that airline was not named.
00:30:03He later used a false and fictitious identification badge,
00:30:07claiming he was still employed by the company navigating
00:30:12airports undetected, snagging hundreds of free
00:30:16tickets from three US based carriers from 2020 to 2024.
00:30:21I think that you know, the the forgery must have been
00:30:24pretty good. That ended after an employee of one of the US
00:30:28airlines took a picture of his badge. But Cornick's former
00:30:31employer then reviewed it and confirmed it was fake.
00:30:37It's awfully similar to the 2002 movie Catch Me If You can
00:30:41hear Leonardo Dicaprio's character posed as a pilot to
00:30:45defraud an airline. And just like this movie. But Kornick
00:30:49got caught. Now he's facing up to 20 years in prison and a
00:30:53fine of up to $250, 000. I think it's kind of a
00:30:56wake up call to all of us that people can manufacture
00:31:00authentic looking ID's. Well, this former pilot acknowledges
00:31:04this is concerning. He says air travel
00:31:06is still very safe. It probably won't see it again because
00:31:10people are gonna be more vigilant about it. Porter
00:31:13Airlines is the only major Canadian carrier headquartered
00:31:16in Toronto. A spokesperson said the company is unable to verify
00:31:20any details related to the story,
00:31:22but cornick sentencing is set for December 8th. Shandalee.
00:31:26BBC News Toronto.
00:31:29When you hear the the concept of the model,
00:31:31it seems a little bit far out there. The man in charge of
00:31:34technology for all the air traffic controllers in Canada
00:31:38believes this room could solve some big issues in aviation,
00:31:41like a global staff shortage that's cancelled flights and
00:31:44frustrated passengers. Controllers here can monitor 12
00:31:48screens, a 360° view of what's going on
00:31:50at an airport far away. You sort of question that when you
00:31:53when you when you hear about the concept,
00:31:56but when you actually see it in action, it's impressive.
00:31:59And you can really see that this is the future of certainty
00:32:032 five contact.
00:32:05This is where air traffic controllers are used to working,
00:32:09where they can use their eyes, radar or a light gun if
00:32:12technology fails. Experts say the fully remote system already
00:32:16used in more than a dozen other countries really isn't that
00:32:20different. Whether you're managing, say, you know,
00:32:23Saint Thomas or London or Sarnia or Windsor from sitting
00:32:26from one seat, you're still managing airspace.
00:32:29There are new features, things like infrared,
00:32:32a kind of night vision or a zoom three times stronger than
00:32:35what's possible
00:32:37now. The information the air traffic controller is getting
00:32:40comes from a tower like this. There's a live feed with a
00:32:43camera circling the tower, plus a microphone and more
00:32:47cameras that can be panned, tilted or used to zoom in. Yeah.
00:32:50Super exciting time, obviously. Kongsberg Geospatial
00:32:53designed the digital aerodrome tower at its offices in the
00:32:57Canada North Tech Park. This fall,
00:32:59it will start testing it at the Kingston airport alongside
00:33:03traditional air traffic control work for one year. The
00:33:06company's president says there's a lot of potential. You know,
00:33:10there's a lot of interpretation that's happening on this system.
00:33:13And as we're seeing the the development and implementation
00:33:16of AI into more and more technology,
00:33:18this is another great example where the system can continue
00:33:22to learn. You know, what am I looking at?
00:33:24What are the aircrafts? What are the weather conditions?
00:33:27The technology is new to Canada, but not globally. In more than
00:33:31a dozen countries around the world,
00:33:33the new towers are replacing the traditional model. That's
00:33:36allowing these countries
00:33:38to improve service in more remote areas where it may be
00:33:42difficult to attract highly skilled workers. The first
00:33:45airport to go fully remote here, though,
00:33:48won't be off the beaten track. It will be in Hamilton,
00:33:52at an airport that welcomes more than 300,
00:33:55000 travelers each year. At the Ottawa airport,
00:33:58travelers are skeptical. I'm not sure.
00:34:02The technology was good then. Yeah,
00:34:04I'd be. I'd feel good about it. It's safer for everyone,
00:34:08I think. Makes me a little uncomfortable. And the more you
00:34:11put stuff like this in, the more it screws up.
00:34:15All right, you need the human factor
00:34:17regardless. But how do people pay to keep their eyes on the
00:34:21skies, feel about this seismic shift?
00:34:24The union says it's a mix, some excitement over expanding
00:34:28to remote communities and some trepidation that this move
00:34:32could shake up an already stressful job. The union
00:34:35representing Hamilton air traffic controller says NAV
00:34:38Canada has done a good job explaining why the airport
00:34:42would go remote and why they might need to move to
00:34:45Kingston, but some likely will not want
00:34:48to. Even if that attrition is only, I said, quote,
00:34:51UN quote only, you know, 10 or 20%,
00:34:53we can't afford to lose a single air traffic controller
00:34:57right now in Canada. And I would say there's not very many
00:35:00jurisdictions that can can afford to lose any controllers.
00:35:04The staffing crunch became a global issue during the
00:35:07pandemic, forcing flight delays and
00:35:10cancellations, even being linked to
00:35:12devastating crashes, including one this spring at La
00:35:15Guardia Airport.
00:35:17NAV Canada is 200 controllers short of its own staffing
00:35:20target and ramping up training to close the gap. It says this
00:35:24could help solve the problem in the long term. When fully
00:35:27operational, up to 15 airports could be
00:35:30remotely monitored from Kingston,
00:35:32meaning a staff vacancy for one place could be quickly filled
00:35:36by someone at the very next desk. This allows us to bring
00:35:39people in and and actually recruit individuals into a
00:35:43location that's central where they would like to stay and
00:35:46live. And
00:35:48a full change to this technology could take decades.
00:35:51NAV Canada says it will only expand to the Hamilton airport
00:35:54after at least a year of shadow testing in Kingston shows no
00:35:58possible issues and all regulatory hurdles are cleared.
00:36:02Then it will focus on the many airports where aging air
00:36:05traffic control towers soon need to be replaced. So whether
00:36:09this change comes to an airport near you remains up in the air.
00:36:13Elise Guerra, CBC News, Ottawa.
00:36:18In Quebec, when someone passes away,
00:36:19surviving family members usually claim the remains. But
00:36:22if the police can't find someone or the family doesn't
00:36:25want to claim the remains, the province takes charge and
00:36:28authorizes a Funeral Home to arrange cremation and burial.
00:36:32This isn't as rare as you might think. It happened more than
00:36:351000 times in Quebec last year, and that number is growing. So
00:36:39what's going on?
00:36:41According to stats from Sante Quebec,
00:36:43the number of unclaimed bodies has doubled from 448 in 2020 to
00:36:48992 in 2025. In addition to those,
00:36:50an average of 135 cases a year are overseen by the coroner's
00:36:55office. If the death is unexplained,
00:36:57violent or involves allegations of negligence,
00:37:02there is a bosa **** at Maison Funeraire. Asanka. Montreal has
00:37:06the most unclaimed bodies, but other regions in the
00:37:10province with barely any cases 20 years ago also experienced a
00:37:14big jump. Experts say in part, that may be due to population
00:37:18growth as more people move away from the city to the suburbs
00:37:22and smaller cities. Since 2020, the number of unclaimed bodies
00:37:26in the Laurentians has doubled from 29 to 67. Last year. In
00:37:30the Lanaudiere region, it's nearly quadrupled
00:37:33from 16 and 2020 to 58 in 2025. And you're probably mad as
00:37:38sugar marinas refinance. I don't care
00:37:43preparative Venezia. The Quebec pension plans death benefit has
00:37:48been capped at $2500 for nearly three decades,
00:37:51and that amount is only reimbursed after the cremation
00:37:55and the funeral bill is paid. General are super expensive as
00:37:59we know, like the 2500 offered by the
00:38:02government, it's just for transportations
00:38:04and cremation and that's it. Like Paco has studied the
00:38:08reasons why people's bodies are remaining unclaimed and says
00:38:12the paperwork can be
00:38:14complicated for grieving families or friends. Some
00:38:17wrongly assume claiming a body means they're also legally
00:38:20responsible for the person's estate,
00:38:23which is not the case. It's an important thing to know because
00:38:26sometimes you just say, Oh no, maybe that person has a lot of
00:38:30debts and I don't have enough money to to manage all that. In
00:38:34addition to cost, Paco and Pacquiao have noticed
00:38:37other patterns, including social isolation,
00:38:39people that don't have descendants or estrangement
00:38:42from family or friends,
00:38:44and also people who are not in touch with their their family
00:38:48for decades. Called in as the chaplain for a dying woman a
00:38:52few years ago, Father Rodney Clark recalls the
00:38:55harsh administrative reality that immediately followed her
00:38:58death. The woman was homeless and had chosen medical
00:39:02assistance in dying after her cancer metastasized. But with
00:39:05no relatives around or financial resources,
00:39:08her body was essentially abandoned. There was no one
00:39:11around her who could cover the costs for transporting
00:39:15animation. He quickly tried to find a donor to pay the bill so
00:39:19he could claim her remains. But by the time he organized
00:39:22everything, including a free, marked grave,
00:39:25it was too late. She'd already been cremated at another
00:39:28Funeral Home and buried in a common grave. It's
00:39:31heartbreaking. And those links in our social fabric,
00:39:34which used to be very strong, are now almost nonexistent. In
00:39:38April, several organizations that
00:39:40advocate for seniors called on the Quebec finance minister to
00:39:43increase the death benefit from 25
00:39:45$100 to $5000 a year. So there are really alone,
00:39:48they don't have any close family by that that see them.
00:39:52Many of the seniors are that Bordeaux's nonprofit helps have
00:39:55a hard time paying their rent and can't afford to set aside
00:39:59money for Funeral services or a cemetery plot. They don't know
00:40:03what's going to happen to their bodies. So they it's a stress
00:40:07they don't need, you know, at the end of their life. A
00:40:10provincial spokesperson said increasing the death benefit to
00:40:14$5000 and indexing it annually
00:40:16it would cost about $450 million a year. Coalition
00:40:19Avenir Quebec says there are no plans to increase the death
00:40:23benefit before the next public consultation in 2029. Foggier
00:40:27believes that the government needs to do more and says the
00:40:31rise in unclaimed bodies points to a troubling societal issue
00:40:35that needs to be addressed.
00:40:39Musky nuclear war, your Newman.
00:40:45This is Hero, a six year old Chihuahua cross.
00:40:47Earlier this summer, Hero was attacked by a bigger
00:40:50dog. He's dealing with infection on his back. About a
00:40:53week ago, Heroes owner brought him to
00:40:55Winnipeg Pet Rescue Shelter. He just came in and basically
00:40:58dropped the dog and said I can't afford to pay for it
00:41:01anymore. Here you go. I can't afford the vet fees for what's
00:41:05happened here.
00:41:07Location, Carla Martinelli Irvine says is
00:41:09becoming more common. She says they've had about 200 cost
00:41:13related surrenders this year. You know the cost of everything,
00:41:17groceries, everything. People are
00:41:19struggling. People that were medium income and living fairly
00:41:23well a couple of years ago are starting to count the groceries
00:41:27and look at their bills. You know,
00:41:29I think life has changed for almost every Canadian. For some
00:41:33high cost of living means surrendering a pet. There was a
00:41:37lot of
00:41:39good people that have to give up their animals due to cost.
00:41:41That's a good boy. In July, the Humane Society received 500
00:41:45new animals. About 150 were owner surrenders. They say the
00:41:49majority of those were people who couldn't afford to pay
00:41:53their pets vet bill. Vet care overall,
00:41:55his just have has gone really, really high as is lots of other
00:42:00things in life. Doctor Jonas Watson also says the cost of
00:42:03living plays a role and that vets have expenses they need to
00:42:07cover, too.
00:42:09He also wants to see governments put more stock into
00:42:11subsidized pet care. The veterinary profession is very
00:42:15concerned about this problem. We're very aware of it. He also
00:42:18says people should research the kind of vets they're seeing.
00:42:22Certainly in corporate owned practices,
00:42:24priorities may be different. They have to answer to a board
00:42:28of directors. A privately owned clinic does not. So there's
00:42:32likely to be some flexibility. As for Hero,
00:42:34his recovery will cost about $7000. Martinelli Irvine says
00:42:38they'll do whatever it takes
00:42:40to get him ready for adoption. Gavin Axelrod, CBC News, Winnipeg.
00:44:53Some residents of Summerland, BC are growing uneasy and
00:44:56impatient, hoping to get a timeline on
00:44:58when they can go home. The growing Bald Range wildfire has
00:45:02forced thousands to flee to nearby communities like
00:45:05Penticton or West Kelowna. But the fire is still burning out
00:45:09of control, making it possible to return
00:45:11right now. And many are now concerned about what awaits
00:45:14them, hoping that their homes and
00:45:17businesses will still be standing. But they don't have
00:45:20any information. Our next guest is one of those who evacuated
00:45:24from that area. Ron Kubik is the owner of Lightning Rock
00:45:27Winery, and he joins us from Big White,
00:45:29BC Ron, good morning. Thanks for your
00:45:32time this morning. It's been a very stressful weekend. How are
00:45:36you and your family doing?
00:45:39I'm good, Susan. I appreciate having me
00:45:41on. You know, the the first thing that
00:45:43happened when the fire started was, OK,
00:45:46what are we going to do? And we started making
00:45:48preparations for staff. And so I've been in touch with my
00:45:52staff who are spread out from a Soyuz to Adam's Lake. My key
00:45:55staff members are in Penticton. We had to take care of our
00:45:59foreign workers and my wine makers doing that,
00:46:02working with our foreign workers and working with my
00:46:05neighbors, foreign workers. And then my
00:46:07wine shop manager who's the current Rotary
00:46:10present in Penticton has been pulling 12 to 13 hour shifts
00:46:13volunteering. So, you know, doing, you know, my job,
00:46:16just trying to find out where everybody's at dealing with it.
00:46:20The fire took a turn last night to the South and this. And if
00:46:24it goes, continues S we're OK. If it
00:46:26goes SE, it's about 3 kilometers from
00:46:29one of our properties where our or our staff live. So, you know,
00:46:33they're out now, but we're safe. What's happened
00:46:36to your vineyard?
00:46:39Well, the vineyards are OK Smoke
00:46:41taint is means that there's gonna be no crop this year.
00:46:44We'll have to pick it. But you know,
00:46:46to mitigate the risks of smoke and everything else,
00:46:49no one wants to drink a a smoky wine. And so what's going to
00:46:52happen is we still have to go through and pick it. But you
00:46:55know, we're we're lucky we've got
00:46:57insurance. You know, the power had gone off and so
00:47:00we had some wine and process. So we're concerned about that.
00:47:03But, you know, I've got friends and clients
00:47:06that completely lost their house, lost their businesses.
00:47:09So we feel very blessed that we were on the outer edge. We're
00:47:12just, you know, praying that the the fire comes
00:47:15under control soon. We just don't know when
00:47:19hitting the beautiful Okanogan area 2 two years ago and heard
00:47:23about the the smoke of previous fires. What is the scope of the
00:47:28damage to vineyards in this area, do you think?
00:47:34Well, I think that, you know, I was talking to a couple wine
00:47:37makers on Sunday and then another one yesterday. And,
00:47:41you know, they've been through this
00:47:43before a lot. And one of them was within a kilometer of it
00:47:46and had to throw all of his grapes out. And I think that
00:47:50we're looking at A at a massive situation in terms of the smoke
00:47:54taint. But it's, it's not just it's not just
00:47:56grapes. You know, my neighbor farms 165 acres in
00:47:59Summerland, 14 of them are Peaches. And you
00:48:02know, usually he gets 500 bins, about 200,
00:48:051000 lbs. He got £38, 000 off. So he has 162,
00:48:07000 lbs of Peaches, which is about $330,
00:48:10000 right now going to waste because they were due to be
00:48:14picked, you know, Saturday, Sunday,
00:48:16Monday. And so that's just one of many small farms throughout
00:48:20Summerland that's affected. But the smoke is also Susan,
00:48:24what people don't realize is totally affected the whole
00:48:27economy up and down. If you were here, you understand that,
00:48:31you know, the highway in Summerland is
00:48:34the way that you get from Kelowna, West Kelowna to Penticton,
00:48:38Oliver, Soyuz, where all the wineries are. And
00:48:41that's been shut down since Friday and there is no timeline
00:48:44on opening. So it's not a fire that only affects Summerland.
00:48:48It affects all of the Okanogan. And the smoke is, you know,
00:48:52we're up at Big White right now and the smoke is pretty bad
00:48:55here. It's not as bad as you know,
00:48:58down in Summerland where it's 450 parts per million,
00:49:01which is not good, not good and healthy not at all.
00:49:04It's the whole tourism industry has been significantly
00:49:09disrupted in the Okanogan here in, in summer when you know,
00:49:14it's at it's at its peak. I want to talk a little bit about
00:49:19what could come out of this in terms of compensation for
00:49:23vineyards or wine makers or other crop crops. What is the
00:49:28detail about harvesting even a partial crop?
00:49:31Do you get disqualified from financial aid
00:49:35there?
00:49:37Well, you know, in 24, we didn't get any money from
00:49:40the government when we lost all of our fruit due to the
00:49:43catastrophic freeze that we had. And we financed our way through
00:49:47that. And talking to my neighbor who's also president
00:49:50of BC Tree Fruits, he said they've been in touch
00:49:52with the government and there's nothing coming right now,
00:49:56nothing at all. And for us, you know,
00:49:58we talked to our organization, there's nothing coming. The one
00:50:02benefit that wineries have is that we have winery wine in
00:50:05inventory and glass bottles in the warehouse
00:50:07and it and it seems that the warehouse was saved because
00:50:11it's right downtown Summerland. We've got some down in
00:50:14Vancouver. So we're OK. It'll be lean in a few years. But
00:50:17it's no one knows. And you know, people are as you,
00:50:20as I heard on your lead and people are impatient about
00:50:23getting back. But because we live in a 5 minute world where
00:50:26you know, what was news 5 minutes ago is
00:50:28old news right now. People need to realize that the fire is
00:50:31still out of control. And you know,
00:50:33we understand that houses are important. You know,
00:50:36my wine makers trying to get back to check on his poultry
00:50:39that he has one of our properties. But now that the
00:50:43fires move closer, he's not going to be getting
00:50:45back in. And so, you know, the, the,
00:50:48the problem for governments and, and it was evidenced last month
00:50:52with the the no deal Charlottetown deal is that
00:50:56the governments don't really wanna help. You know,
00:50:58they just announced that they're doing 1000 beds for
00:51:01wildfire evacuees, which I give them credit for
00:51:04the, the Cao of Penticton and the, the, the chief administrative
00:51:07officer. Sorry for using lingo of Penticton and Summerland are
00:51:11working well together in Penticton and,
00:51:13and West Kelowna have taken a huge amount of evacuees from
00:51:16Summerland. But you know, this is going to be a long term.
00:51:19What happens when we get back in?
00:51:21And I think the first thing is, is that I'm hoping is, OK,
00:51:25let's get the fire out,
00:51:26just go in and see what's going on and then help my neighbors.
00:51:29You know, I reached out to 1 yesterday
00:51:32who had sent me a picture and his house was right behind the
00:51:35fire when it started. And it's completely burned down,
00:51:38including his Ford F-350. All you can see is a door from it,
00:51:42not even nothing else. And so
00:51:43you just got a minute left and I wanna get to 1 more thing. I
00:51:48assure you the heat and fires in our country in the last few
00:51:52years is not a 5 minute story. That's what we're all very
00:51:56focused on right now. I know though that. And we just have a
00:52:01minute left. I know that you want to talk about inter
00:52:05provincial laws, about wine tariffs, barriers,
00:52:08trade barriers. How do you think this would help the
00:52:12situation at all?
00:52:14We want to survive as small businesses across Canada. We
00:52:17want to survive. Ontario went through,
00:52:19you guys had forest fires back there and then you've got some
00:52:23flooding going on in Niagara. We've got this going on in BC.
00:52:26The problem is Canada is still closed for business. And you
00:52:29know, we want to be able to recover.
00:52:31And the greatest way to recover would be for the provincial
00:52:34premiers to get real and remove the inter provincial terriers
00:52:37tariffs so that we have a chance to recover. And I think
00:52:40that's the greatest thing they can do for all Canadian
00:52:43businesses, say we need to help out other regions
00:52:46because, you know, 11 region is having a tough
00:52:48time. Another region is doing OK. And I just hope that they
00:52:51would get serious, Susan, I'm sure. And at the moment,
00:52:54looking in the into the next week, what's your focus?
00:52:59Making sure that all my staff is taken care of. You know,
00:53:02we've got some foreign staff in. We've got locals that are in,
00:53:05making sure that they're taking care of,
00:53:07answering any questions that we have from customers about
00:53:10what's going on. And then reaching out to my friends and
00:53:13clients who've lost everything and offering whatever we can do
00:53:16as soon as we can get back in. We have the resources to do
00:53:19that. And so, you know, people who have lost houses and
00:53:22lost their businesses, we're trying to do everything
00:53:25we can to say, OK, what can we do when we can get
00:53:27back in to help them recover. And, you know, my staff in, you know,
00:53:31the wine industry is a very tight industry. And so we've
00:53:34reached out to each other. And it's the same in the farming
00:53:38industry. People want to help people. We just have to. When I
00:53:41said about the five minute situation on the fires, it was,
00:53:44you know, people saw the fire happen
00:53:46Friday night and they want to get back in right now. Fires
00:53:49still out of control. So that's what I meant by that part.
00:53:53Indeed. And we don't know how much longer this is going to
00:53:56occur or how how many new fires may occur in the Okanogan
00:53:59Valley. So a very desperate
00:54:01situation, but Ron, thank you for bringing our
00:54:03attention to the businesses in this area.
00:54:06Well, I appreciate it. And and you know, my heart goes out to those that
00:54:10I haven't reached out to yet. But, you know,
00:54:12I had people reaching out to me till midnight and letting me
00:54:15know that they're OK even though their house is gone or
00:54:17their business is gone. And we'll continue to do everything
00:54:20we can to support them as we go forward. Ron Kubik,
00:54:22thank you very much this morning. Thanks, Susan. Have a great day.

00:59:03What do you say? You say trick or treat
00:59:06his birthday. I had the idea of seeing if some of my neighbors
00:59:10would allow him to trick or treat at their house because he
00:59:14loves trick-or-treating thorns. Autistic. So a traditional
00:59:17birthday party is really not something that would be like,
00:59:21fulfilling for him. I posted it in our neighborhood Facebook
00:59:25group and 83 people agreed. Oh, wow. OK,
00:59:27so I got their addresses, started an Excel spreadsheet.
00:59:31We were going around on a golf cart. I decorated it with
00:59:34birthday balloons. People had personalized signs,
00:59:37Not just candy either. There were like handwritten notes and
00:59:42Lego sets and play DoH. I was just completely kind of
00:59:46overwhelmed by the amount of kindness and inclusion
00:59:52cheese.
00:59:54We started at 5:30 in the afternoon and we finished
00:59:57around 9:30 PM. He wanted to keep going. I could tell that
01:00:01he was really enjoying it.
01:00:04Now, some of the neighborhood kids
01:00:06have since asked their parents if they can trick or treat with
01:00:09Soren this year. So not only did he get 4 big bags of
01:00:13candies, but some new friends. Now we
01:00:15don't know if that banana costume, which is his favorite,
01:00:18will be the one he chooses for this Halloween.
