00:42:21The Power Panel on power and politics with David Cochrane, weekdays on CBC News.
00:56:22The news doesn't sleep. We are here to help you hit the ground
00:56:25running. Your news, your weather,
00:56:27your morning. Good Morning Canada. CBC Morning Live with David.
00:56:32I can't really explain it, but something inside is telling
00:56:36me this is my time.
00:56:39There's no waiting for tomorrow, no such thing. I've got to show

00:57:00Jail.
00:57:05Hi there, Canada.
00:57:06Hi Siri,
00:57:09How are you holding up?
00:57:13It's been difficult to say the least.
00:57:17I intend to resign as party leader, as Prime Minister.
00:57:23The funny, not so funny thing about the
00:57:26world right now
00:57:27is the thing that can consume your thoughts
00:57:31is the thing you maybe didn't see coming.
00:57:35My favorite word? Tariff
00:57:38is going to be cracking down. Minimum 10% tariff on all
00:57:41imports. Some contracts are already getting cancelled.
00:57:44Facing a potential 25 or even 50% tariff on steel exports.
00:57:48We're already hearing about layoffs. Feeling the financial
00:57:51pain of Canada's 25% counter tariffs. He believes that
00:57:54Canadians would benefit greatly from becoming the 51st state
00:57:58when our sovereignty is threatened.
00:58:01You do what you can. He is trying to break us. So you have
00:58:04questions. How should Canadians be preparing for that next trip?
00:58:08What is your plan? How seriously are you taking
00:58:11this threat of 100% tariffs on foreign made films?
00:58:14A lot of questions. How is Hamilton bracing for tariff
00:58:18impact? When we talk about counter
00:58:20terrorists, do those affect you? How much does it cost to be
00:58:24patriotic when picking items at the grocery store?
00:58:27And while your elbows have been up, elbows up.
00:58:32For us, it's the sleeves rolled up.
00:58:34Because you need answers about your neighborhood, your world,
00:58:38your Canada,
00:58:40and what it means for all of us to say we are Canadian.
00:58:49Our journalists countrywide and all over the world are on the
00:58:53case.
00:58:55Do you think you're gonna have to close?
00:58:57I hate to think about that.
00:59:06I'm about 15 kilometers from the Russian border. Where are
00:59:10Canada's allies? Where are Canada's markets?
00:59:12What is this country's place on the planet?
00:59:15It's the uncertainty that's the
00:59:17this issue. What is the next thing to happen and what will
00:59:22it mean for all of us? We assume that it will be a
00:59:26difficult Rd. Canada. We got you and we are right there
00:59:30right beside you trying to make sense of it with you.
00:59:47Power and politics, the scale of the crisis and chaos and a day like this. We gotta get to the power panel
00:59:51early. Experts and party insiders break it all down.
00:59:54This is a shift in the Liberal position. And then the Tories
00:59:57are just left to say, well, you're not moving fast and
00:59:59making sense of our world. Conditions have gotten pretty
01:00:02bad and they look like they're gonna get worse. Can't now walk

01:00:11The Power Panel on power and politics with David Cochrane, weekdays on CBC News.
01:00:30Canada U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc met with U.S.
01:00:32Trade Representative Jameson Greer in Washington as pressure
01:00:36to get a new trade deal ratchets up even higher.
01:00:41He rejected any proposals by the US
01:00:44about that. LeBlanc keeping radio silence on a possible
01:00:48deadlock despite the looming deadline. New potentially
01:00:52devastating 50% US tariffs on a wide range of Canadian goods
01:00:56are just days from snapping into place. But at least one
01:01:00premier made it clear he doesn't want Ottawa to blink
01:01:03first. Evan Dyer joins us now from Ottawa. Evan,
01:01:07have we seen any signs of progress in these talks?
01:01:10Not really. Crystal, the Canadians in the US trade
01:01:14representative,
01:01:15Famous and Greer met for just under 2 hours this afternoon
01:01:18and he emerged with this message.
01:01:20We had good discussions today. We were cordial. They were
01:01:24detailed, the president, the Prime Minister,
01:01:26obviously they'll be given options and discussions,
01:01:29but I don't think there's anything to report right now.
01:01:32Is there a chance that there won't be?
01:01:34So it comes after we heard earlier this week that Ottawa
01:01:38rejected a proposal from Washington that lowered tariffs,
01:01:41but apparently not by enough. We did, however,
01:01:44hear from some premiers today. Yes,
01:01:46we heard from both Premier Ford of Ontario and Premier
01:01:49Frechette of Quebec stating pretty clearly
01:01:51that they want federal negotiators to hold the line.
01:01:54In the case of Frechette, we heard that supply management
01:01:57is a non negotiable for Quebec and that message has been
01:01:59communicated to Ottawa. And she also seemed to be looking past
01:02:02next Wednesday to a future where these threatened new
01:02:05tariffs are already in place and seeking assurances that the
01:02:08federal government would offer support to affected businesses
01:02:11and workers. And we saw federal finance ministers say that yes,
01:02:14the federal government will be there. He made those comments
01:02:17in Saguenay, Quebec, which is a region that's
01:02:19particularly vulnerable to tariffs because of its aluminum
01:02:23and forestry industries. We expect Dominic LeBlanc to brief
01:02:26his provincial counterparts on Friday. As for Ford,
01:02:29he suggested he'll hold the line on Ontario's boycott of US
01:02:33alcohol, saying he'll drop it only as
01:02:35part of a fair deal.
01:02:37I do not, I'm gonna emphasize, use alcohol as a bargaining
01:02:40chip during the negotiations. If we get a fair deal that will
01:02:44protect our steel sector, auto sector,
01:02:46our forestry sector, agriculture sector,
01:02:49manufacturing sector, then we'd be more than happy to
01:02:52bring booze back on the shelves only if we have a deal that's
01:02:56going to protect those sectors. So Ford added that pressure on
01:03:00the US was important, in his words. Kinda negotiates
01:03:03through strength, not weakness. And he's been
01:03:05very clear that he opposes any situation
01:03:08where the US keeps its tariffs on Canadian autos and Canadian
01:03:12carrier tariffs come off. Alright. That's Evan Dyer in
01:03:15Ottawa. Thanks so much. Thanks.
01:03:19They give us just a sliver more of the story of what happened
01:03:23on February 10th in the tiny, tight knit mountain town of
01:03:26Tumblr Ridge.
01:03:27A timeline of how police found the bodies of the 8 victims and
01:03:31of the shooter, 18 year old Jesse Van
01:03:34Rootselaar. The documents are heavily redacted. Strategic
01:03:38communication is happening where
01:03:41it is an RCMP choice, not a necessity or legal
01:03:45requirement to withhold a lot of the information right now,
01:03:50and that should be concerning to the public
01:03:55most concerned about the details of the firearms used.
01:04:00This is a big issue because there are concerns that have
01:04:05been raised about whether police action or inaction might
01:04:10have
01:04:12interfered with the shooters ability to follow through with
01:04:16the act at the school.
01:04:18We do have more details about the 911 calls that poured in
01:04:22that morning. First, a call about an SUV driving
01:04:24erratically away from the shooter's house,
01:04:27then multiple calls of shots fired inside the school.
01:04:31The documents give a timeline of officers arriving to the
01:04:34scene, hearing gunshots, going into the school,
01:04:37finding victims and ultimately the shooter dead with
01:04:40self-inflicted gunshot wounds. The documents say police had to
01:04:43hold while being shot at.
01:04:46They also mentioned the shooter went by multiple different last
01:04:49names and that some police officers thought there may have
01:04:52been 2 shooters for a time. But much is still uncertain as many
01:04:55pages are blacked out entirely. British Columbia has announced
01:04:58there will be a coroners inquest into the shootings,
01:05:01will examine issues like the shooters mental health and
01:05:04access to weapons, as well as the role artificial
01:05:06intelligence may have played in this case. And Michelle,
01:05:09let's talk a little bit about some of the details that we
01:05:12don't know yet.
01:05:14There's a lot that the section about the shooter social media
01:05:17accounts is redacted entirely. And while the documents show a
01:05:21police response timeline, all the timestamps are redacted.
01:05:24So we don't know details like how long passed between the
01:05:27police getting to the school and actually getting to the
01:05:30shooter. Michelle Allen in Vancouver, thank you.

01:10:06FARAGE IS AN MP AGAIN, THEY ARE RE-OPENING THAT INVESTIGATION
01:10:26Bank, this time in the village of
01:10:28Khusra, where militant settlers clashed
01:10:31with Israeli troops. After the settlers cut off access to
01:10:34three Palestinian homes,
01:10:38Green Rd. that leads to the house was blocked,
01:10:40says Ruqaiya Hasan. They dug up the road. They put rocks on it.
01:10:44No one is allowed to pass through it. And they cut off
01:10:48the electricity line. They cut off the water line from my from
01:10:52my house. And my neighbor. Louie Reedy,
01:10:54a Palestinian American, owns one of the homes that's
01:10:57under siege. He's been watching from Ohio,
01:11:00talking to his brother inside the house in Khusra where his
01:11:04food is running low.
01:11:07No one is helping him. And, and it just, you know,
01:11:10it's terrifying. Video from a surveillance camera mounted on
01:11:14Rudy's house until Israeli troops removed it shows
01:11:17soldiers mingling with settlers. Other video appears to show
01:11:21them praying together. The military initially took up
01:11:24positions in Khusra and ordered several Palestinian families
01:11:28out of their homes before reversing course and declaring
01:11:32they could stay. Officially, the IDF calls this siege
01:11:35illegal, reprehensible and unacceptable
01:11:38and says any IDF member involved will face disciplinary
01:11:42action. But human rights groups say previous incidents have
01:11:46shown those are empty words. In many of the videos of the
01:11:49attacks, you can see the settlers
01:11:52attacking while there are soldiers together with them
01:11:55either standing by and not doing anything or many times
01:11:59even participating in those attacks. This attack has
01:12:03prompted A sterner than usual response from Israel's closest
01:12:07ally, the United States.
01:12:08Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel,
01:12:12has called the attackers Israeli terrorists while
01:12:15insisting violence like this is the result of a very small
01:12:20minority who do great damage. Tom Perry, CBC News, Ottawa.
01:12:27In Germany, another anniversary marked In a
01:12:30country where remembrance runs deep.
01:12:3365 years ago, people in Berlin woke up to
01:12:37find a barbed wire fence had been erected. Overnight,
01:12:41the Communist E cut off its people from fleeing to the
01:12:46democratic W, splitting the city into. At
01:12:49least 136 people died trying to cross. I'm afraid for our
01:12:54freedom. Hartmut Richter successfully escaped. He swam
01:12:58to the West in 1966. Then he helped 33 people escape too,
01:13:03by smuggling them in the trunk of his.
01:13:06So far, nobody could imagine that it
01:13:08would be a 28 years. Many Germans thought the wall would
01:13:13never come down until it did, nearly 3 decades later. It was
01:13:17in my hotel and I heard in West Berlin and I heard so much
01:13:21noise and I spent the whole night totally dazed with
01:13:25everybody else crying and hugging. Since Unifying,
01:13:29Germany has consistently advocated for the free movement
01:13:33of people taking in large numbers of immigrants and
01:13:37refugees.
01:13:39But that identity is now facing one of its biggest tests. The
01:13:43far right political party, the AFD Alternative for
01:13:47Deutschland, continues to gain support. It
01:13:50wants to severely restrict immigration. And the party
01:13:54could win power for the first time in a state election next
01:13:58month. What an irony, isn't it, that we talked about
01:14:02reunification now in Germany for decades and we really want
01:14:06to become one people again. And now we have a party that
01:14:11really splits Germany and have memories of the wall are
01:14:14everywhere in Berlin, even this cobblestone path that
01:14:18marks exactly where the wall cut through the entire city. A
01:14:22constant reminder of the scars of division as Germany faces
01:14:26down a new era of political polarization. Marina von
01:14:30Stackelberg, CBC News, Berlin.
01:16:35For this outdoor adventure company,
01:16:37business in the summer is usually brisk,
01:16:40but it has slowed to a crawl. We've had no business
01:16:44whatsoever this week, only
01:16:48refunds, calling people to refund.
01:16:50That's pretty much it with the deadly Bald Range wildfire
01:16:54burning in BC Southern Interior. The air is thick with smoke,
01:16:57Okanogan beaches that would normally be packed are bare and
01:17:01almost no one is on the water.
01:17:04We have a dozen kayaks and stand up paddle boards and a
01:17:08tough pill to swallow if your company relies on tourism. It's
01:17:12sad that you get to a point where where it's. That's how
01:17:16you have to prepare yourself thinking that fires are a part
01:17:20of the world. But it doesn't make it any easier on the day
01:17:24when no one's renting bikes.
01:17:28This local ice cream shop is feeling the pinch too. Business
01:17:31has dropped at least 90% since the fire erupted. We've already
01:17:35laid off a chunk of our staff. Like knowing that Summerland
01:17:39isn't going to reopen right away. And we have entrepreneurs.
01:17:42We don't have the big, big businesses that can really
01:17:45hang on. So if this is a really important time for for our
01:17:49small business community to be making money. Roughly 12,
01:17:52000 people on evacuation order have no timeline on when they
01:17:56can go home. But with hot temperatures,
01:17:58gusty winds and a chance of thunderstorms,
01:18:01officials warn fires could intensify.
01:18:05Evacuees like Christine Coletta are trying to find ways to pass
01:18:09the time. These grapevines remind Coletta of her vineyard
01:18:13inside Summerland she worries about the tourists she's losing
01:18:17out on. About 35% of our total sales for the year come from
01:18:21what we call the tasting room. If we can't get in and open the
01:18:25tasting room and get our staff back in place,
01:18:28we're going to miss seeing thousands of people from now
01:18:31until the end of October.
01:18:34For businesses inside and outside the evacuation zone,
01:18:37they're taking it one day at a time,
01:18:39hoping things get back to normal soon. And Julia,
01:18:42some movement tonight on road closures in the area. That's
01:18:45right. So Hwy. 97, which you can see behind me,
01:18:48it runs through summer land and it has reopened. But traffic is
01:18:52only allowed between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM. And
01:18:55drivers are not allowed to stop or exit the highway without a
01:18:59temporary access pass. The regional district saying that
01:19:02if drivers don't follow the rules, the highway could shut down
01:19:05again. Julia Wong in Penticton, BC tonight.
01:19:12At the Sikh temple in Penticton, volunteers cut and prepare
01:19:16meals for evacuees. Since the Bald Range wildfire broke out
01:19:21on Friday, they've been supplying food and
01:19:24cooking hot meals, serving hundreds of evacuees
01:19:27each day. So we start feeding some people. The one
01:19:31desperately need essential items
01:19:35because some of them, they had nothing with them,
01:19:37not even shoes. Fresh fruits and vegetables are also
01:19:41available for evacuees. They just come from local farms.
01:19:45Fruit stands and some packing sheds and everybody willing to
01:19:49donate more than we need the farm fresh food as satisfying
01:19:53delight for summer land evacuee Barbara Dority. It's just
01:19:57amazing that we have everything that's available that they've
01:20:01taken from their farms and brought here for us. I mean,
01:20:04how, how wonderful can that be?
01:20:08Bethel Church in Penticton has also been helping,
01:20:11supplying hundreds of food hampers to evacuees.
01:20:16We have teams of people right now that have gone into the
01:20:20community and they're just finding those folks that have
01:20:23been displaced, that have maybe lost their
01:20:26homes, that are have been evacuated,
01:20:28that are living in RV's, living in parking lots,
01:20:31in their cars. Sharon Larock and her husband have been
01:20:35camping in their RV ever since they were evacuated from their
01:20:39summer Land home. She says she's blown away at how the
01:20:42people of Penticton have shown up to help. People drop by
01:20:46every day, numerous times
01:20:47every day, and they've given us bags of
01:20:50fruit and, um, do you need any shampoo or
01:20:53conditioner or deodorant or any kind of toiletry?
01:20:57They have diapers, everything. The province says
01:21:01they've freed up over 1000 hotel rooms across the Okanogan
01:21:05to provide evacuees a place to stay. But with 12,
01:21:09000 people forced to evacuate and no timeline for when they
01:21:13can return, many are still calling
01:21:16Penticton's parking lots home. It's
01:21:19not too bad, it gets nice cool at night so
01:21:22we've been able to sleep. Lots of people sleeping in their car,
01:21:26so we're very fortunate.
01:21:30This moments of generosity, it's really,
01:21:33really comforting. Adding a little comfort to evacuees
01:21:38during moments of darkness and uncertainty. Tiffany Goodwin,
01:21:43CBC News, Penticton.
01:21:47So scrolling on social media and searching wildfire returns
01:21:49millions of posts, some using AI to generate maps
01:21:53indicating wildfires were happening all across Ontario,
01:21:56when in reality there were no active wildfires in Toronto.
01:22:00Other reels showing AI generated firefighters claiming
01:22:03to be in Canada.
01:22:05Hello Canadians, and some recently claiming
01:22:08Allison is responsible for all wildfires in BC. In the absence
01:22:12of verified official information,
01:22:15people will often fill the gap and there's typically
01:22:18speculation online. As soon as a wildfire emerges or or
01:22:22wildfire season even begins, the conspiracy theories and the
01:22:26misinformation and disinformation start start
01:22:29increasing. And while RCMP has confirmed they are
01:22:32investigating the cause of the board range fire,
01:22:36they say this is typical. We've seen a number of human caused
01:22:39fires. Human cause does not immediately indicate arson or
01:22:42that it was intentionally set. Of course we've seen fires that
01:22:46have been accidental, especially with some of the
01:22:48conditions we've seen just like any other fire which we did a
01:22:52suspicious until proven otherwise. To be clear,
01:22:553 wildfires states that right now over 75% of wildfires this
01:22:58year are determined or suspected to be caused by
01:23:02lightning. And in a press conference on Tuesday,
01:23:05they confirmed that in total, 4% of all wildfires in the last
01:23:0910 years in BC are believed to be intentionally set. But the
01:23:13experts I spoke to say many AI generated images of flooding X
01:23:17TikTok and Meta and making it difficult to find credible
01:23:20information. Wildfire content lends itself to sensationalized
01:23:25images and so any image forward platform is is going to be
01:23:28really popular for this. I think the biggest thing to
01:23:31lookout for is, does it distract away from
01:23:35climate change? Sonia Suliman specializes in
01:23:38researching misinformation and disinformation surrounding
01:23:41extreme weather events. For the rise of AI generated a mess,
01:23:45and disinformation around climate specifically is really
01:23:49a huge problem in Canada. We've seen it's much easier to
01:23:52circulate that can reach borders and in seconds. She
01:23:55says some of those posts can include things like mislabeled
01:23:59maps or text that talks about wildfire mismanagement. Their
01:24:03direct disinformation narrative would be that
01:24:06this is a deliberate act rather than one caused by natural
01:24:09climate change. It changes the subject away from why are there
01:24:13more fires in more places around the world that are
01:24:16bigger and more frequent? It's because we have a hotter
01:24:20and drier climate. So what's behind some of these posts when
01:24:23it comes to disinformation meaning false information
01:24:27shared on purpose? Michael Coop, Policy Co chair of Climate
01:24:30Action Against Disinformation, says there's been a spike in
01:24:34the last five years. Natural disaster
01:24:36events have become a real hive for disinformation. The most
01:24:40pernicious and dangerous parts of climate disinformation,
01:24:43and disinformation in general, is that there's a network of
01:24:47people who get paid to divide society on the most important
01:24:50or most talked about issues. And the social media platforms
01:24:54are are square one responsible for that entire system of
01:24:57monetization. Vic 12 Rio is the executive director at What to
01:25:01Fix, an organization that's been
01:25:03tracking content monetization programs across social media
01:25:06platforms.
01:25:07In a situation like a wildfire, what you will have is a lot of
01:25:10people turning to social media for minute to minute news,
01:25:14and so you have an unusual amount of search for key terms
01:25:17that are related to the wildfires. So we've seen quite
01:25:21a bit of content that will sort of ride those keywords because
01:25:24that's just a way to get views in times like this. And in
01:25:28Canada, the experts we spoke to say
01:25:30that DIS and misinformation can be more extreme due to Matters
01:25:34response to Canada's Online News Act, which blocks
01:25:37Asian users from seeing all new sites on Facebook and Instagram.
01:25:41When journalism disappears, it's not
01:25:44replaced by nothing. Something has to fill that void, right?
01:25:48And right now, it's replaced by content that
01:25:50serves a very different function. So influencer posts,
01:25:54which carry no attribution and score far higher on emotional
01:25:57intensity are are much more popular now. Take this post on
01:26:01Facebook about the wildfire in Peachland,
01:26:03BC last year. While the post says it's AI generated,
01:26:06it's still got a lot of views. The BC Wildfire Service
01:26:09specifically called out this image along with another AI
01:26:13image, saying they do not accurately
01:26:15represent the terrain, fire size or fire behaviour in
01:26:18the area and that these types of posts can add to anxiety
01:26:21that come with wildfires. The post appears to be published by
01:26:25a digital creator on Instagram with 80,
01:26:27000 followers and on Facebook with 2 million followers. The
01:26:31accounts feature multiple posts about wildfires and other
01:26:34extreme weather events this year. We do unfortunately come
01:26:38across quite a lot of those. There's very large communities
01:26:41of individual. They've come to realize that they can generate
01:26:45quite a bit
01:26:46of revenue by running faceless accounts and automating much of
01:26:49the process and really jumping from crisis to crisis. Now,
01:26:53we searched the What to Fix Monetization archive and found
01:26:57that the account owner of that AI generated wildfire post is a
01:27:00monetized Facebook account. So two years ago,
01:27:03based on the data that we have, we had two million accounts
01:27:07registered to monetize on Facebook. Today we're looking
01:27:10at 16 000, 000. So that's an 800% increase
01:27:13in just two years. There are more players,
01:27:16possibly less money to be made, but still,
01:27:18if you're making $1000 a month in many of those places,
01:27:21that actually goes a very long way and it's incentive enough.
01:27:25We reached out to the account owner about the posts but did
01:27:29not receive a response by our deadline. Rio says while
01:27:32monetization programs like Meters do help content creators
01:27:35generate income, they lack regulation when it
01:27:38comes to who qualifies for the program. The whole AI slot
01:27:41problem is very much a byproduct of those monetization
01:27:44programs, and it's not just
01:27:46better. Rios says X, TikTok, Snapchat and LinkedIn all have
01:27:50their own content monetization programs. Solomon says without
01:27:53more regulation on these platforms,
01:27:55it could have real consequences. It can really misdirect public
01:27:59response and undermine of official emergency
01:28:02communications. We need policies to to strengthen
01:28:04information integrity and certainly AI safety and that's
01:28:08really the structural at the structural platform level and
01:28:11that includes the economic models that these platforms are built on.
01:28:18Check this out. This is a NASA ER 2A repurposed Cold War spy
01:28:20craft, and it was just tracked flying
01:28:22back and forth over Western Canada for six hours straight.
01:28:26So why is a NASA spy plane flying over Canada?
01:28:29It's up there because of these fire clouds,
01:28:31a phenomenon we don't fully understand. I'll explain.
01:28:34Canada is dealing with explosive wildfires like the
01:28:38Bald Range Fire that erupted in size on August 7th. And NASA
01:28:41sent this high altitude spy plane to track a terrifying
01:28:44weather event born out of the flames
01:28:47cloud called pyro cumulonimbus, or firecloud. Here's how these
01:28:50firestorms work. When a wildfire gets big enough and
01:28:53hot enough in a short amount of time, it triggers giant,
01:28:56violent updrafts. the Super heated air and moisture act
01:29:00like a vacuum, pulling winds and oxygen into
01:29:02the base of the fire, giving it the fuel it needs
01:29:05while punching smoke straight up into the sky. This creates A
01:29:08literal thunderstorm, one that generates its own
01:29:11downbursts, erratic lightning strikes,
01:29:13and even fire tornadoes. It was officially added to the
01:29:16International Cloud Atlas in 2017 as Cumulonimbus Flamm agenus,
01:29:20and scientists have been trying to understand them ever since.
01:29:24Data from the World Climate Research Program shows that
01:29:27these storms act like chimneys. For a long time,
01:29:30scientists thought only big volcanic eruptions or nuclear
01:29:33blasts could force particles into the stratosphere. Now we
01:29:37know these intense pyrocumulus can shoot plumes of black
01:29:40carbon and aerosols up to 16 kilometers into the lower
01:29:43stratosphere, where they stay trapped. And
01:29:45climate change is making these fire cloud
01:29:48producing mega fires occur more often and the most often in
01:29:51Canada, according to the latest
01:29:53research. And that's exactly why NASA is flying a spy plane
01:29:56directly over the smoke at 60, 000 feet. It's a modified
01:29:59Lockheed U2, nicknamed the Dragon Lady,
01:30:01an aircraft used by the US military back in the pre
01:30:04satellite era for exactly this purpose. Studying the ground
01:30:08from incredibly high, the R2 sits safely in the
01:30:10stratosphere looking straight down into the core of the storm.
01:30:14It's measuring the exact height, temperature and thickness of
01:30:17the plume in real time.
01:30:19The goal is to figure out exactly how these firestorms
01:30:21develop so we can forecast them, because understanding this fire
01:30:25monster is the first step to surviving it. Johanna Wagstaff,
01:30:28CBC News, Vancouver.
01:32:33Ontario's opposition parties are demanding answers over
01:32:36reports that the Progressive Conservative Party spied on
01:32:40former provincial Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie,
01:32:42and these allegations are first reported by the Trillium and
01:32:46Pauli Corner. The party allegedly spent nearly 3000 in
01:32:49donor and taxpayer dollars on resorts in Jamaica. In a
01:32:53statement to CBC News, a party spokesperson confirmed
01:32:56quote opposition research occurred in December of 2023.
01:32:59The alleged surveillance took place six days after Crombie
01:33:03won the Liberal leadership race. My next guest was one of the
01:33:07reporters breaking that story. Ahmed El Bayoumi is the author
01:33:22How did you, you know, get a tip and and how did you
01:33:26find this out? So essentially on Monday,
01:33:28my colleague Jack Cowan at the Trillium reported that $3000
01:33:32was spent by the PC Party in Ontario on hotels in Jamaica.
01:33:36And a couple of days later, as journalists in this province
01:33:40try to figure out what these hotels were used for. Myself
01:33:43and my colleague Charlie Pinkerton at the Trillium, we both reported for the Trillium and for Polly Corner
01:33:50that the PC Party sent an operative to Jamaica in order
01:33:54to spy on, as is alleged by our sources,
01:33:56the former then Liberal leader, Bonnie Crombie. Now keep in
01:34:00mind, she was just elected Liberal
01:34:02leader. It was six days after her win that she went to
01:34:05Jamaica for a three day vacation. It is that. It is
01:34:08then when we are told that the Conservatives sent an operative
01:34:12to stay at the same resort that she was at to try to gather
01:34:21information on a political opponent that not that might
01:34:25not be necessarily pleasant or or or
01:34:34reacted to the story today. Yeah. What's he saying? Well,
01:34:38I asked the premier explicitly why he thought that taxpayer
01:34:41money was it was OK for taxpayer money to be spent on
01:34:44an operation like this. Keep in mind,
01:34:46political parties in Ontario, they make their money from both
01:34:50donors but from also a per vote subsidy that is paid by the
01:34:53taxpayer. The Premier said he only found out when Polly
01:34:56Corner and the Trillium asked questions yesterday and that he
01:35:00was not aware that he does not approve of it
01:35:02personally, but that we should ask
01:35:04questions to the party. And as you said,
01:35:07the party in a statement this evening confirmed to us that
01:35:10they didn't indeed send someone to Jamaica on what they are
01:35:14describing as an opposition research mission.
01:35:17So the opposition, the Liberal Party, who were,
01:35:20you know, I guess the subject of this
01:35:22reconnaissance, what's the reaction there? Well,
01:35:25opposition parties are describing this as creepy,
01:35:28disgusting and completely inappropriate. Mart Styles,
01:35:31the leader of the official Opposition NDP here,
01:35:34she said yesterday that she thought that the buck stops
01:35:37with the premier, that regardless of whether he
01:35:40knew or whether it was, you know, a senior staffer,
01:35:42a junior staffer, that the premier is ultimately
01:35:45accountable for this. The leader of the Liberals,
01:35:48they said that he doesn't believe. John Fraser said that
01:35:52he doesn't believe that the premier is telling the truth,
01:35:55that the premier ought to have known that someone from his
01:35:58from his team was was sent to Jamaica to do this and that it
01:36:02crosses a line. There is in their opinion,
01:36:05a difference between a political operation when a
01:36:08politician is actively doing their job and when a politician
01:36:11is outside of the country on a vacation. Yeah. So that for
01:36:15saying that he did not know about this, he's also,
01:36:18I believe, saying
01:36:19that this is no different in his mind than when reporters
01:36:23follow him on trips to the US. So you've covered Queens Park
01:36:26for, what, four years now? Yeah. Is it different? I,
01:36:30I do think it is different. I think that journalists being
01:36:33able to follow the premier on a trip,
01:36:36whether he is a premier or a counselor at the time, that is,
01:36:39you know, where he is doing government
01:36:42business is very different from journalists, you know,
01:36:45going after the premier on a vacation. Keep in mind that
01:36:49this is a premier who who talks a lot about, you know,
01:36:52how important his personal privacy and his family's
01:36:55privacy is. The premier took issue years ago,
01:36:58I believe two or three years ago when protester protesters
01:37:01showed up to his house. He told them to, you know,
01:37:04keep the politics at Queens Park. And so the premier is
01:37:07ultimately now answering for why he thought that the OR why
01:37:10his party thought that the standard here was somewhat
01:37:13different For Bonnie Crombie
01:40:58Montreal police are utilizing AI to help with its
01:41:00investigations. The tech and the way it's being used could
01:41:03change policing in the city moving forward. The SPVM has
01:41:06made it very clear they're interested in it to this
01:41:09technology. They're deploying this technology. A surveillance
01:41:13camera similar to Flock in the United States is here. It's
01:41:16called the Cloud Runner CRH 2 from Montreal based company
01:41:19Genentech. It scans license plates but can also identify
01:41:22the colour, make and model of vehicles. But
01:41:25unlike Flock, the information can only be accessed by its operator.
01:41:29The camera is one part of a larger software that uses AI to
01:41:33detect and identify vehicles. But the company says privacy is
01:41:37carefully monitored and that data can't be tampered with as
01:41:40every interaction with it is logged. You should have an
01:41:44expectation of reasonable privacy. However, as I said,
01:41:47it's a trade off. If the threat of something bad happening is
01:41:52high, as a community we need to say
01:41:54what are we comfortable with giving up? In a statement,
01:41:57the SPBM says that it's only using the cloud
01:42:00and her camera for a specific investigation and that other
01:42:04similar cameras could be added in the future. It is connected
01:42:08to the wireless network, so the cellular network. And so
01:42:12footage that it collects, just watching traffic,
01:42:15watching whatever goes on outside is then sent to,
01:42:18you know, a cloud service. And then
01:42:20artificial intelligence is used to analyze those that that
01:42:24footage. The SPM is also using another software called imotion
01:42:28Roc. It's an American software from Rank One
01:42:31Computing. It uses AI to track certain characteristics,
01:42:35among other things. It's currently on 46 urban security
01:42:39cameras and can even work on video collected by officers
01:42:43with citizen consent or warrant. Rock's ability is to look up to
01:42:488 different attributes at once. So the ability to go rapidly
01:42:52and look at different images, all the images at normal speed
01:42:57and analyze the footage so you can find something specific.
01:43:01Though the software has real time biometric tracking
01:43:04capabilities, VBM says it wouldn't use those
01:43:07features. It says it would focus on elements detectives
01:43:10already know. And we'll look for visual attributes like
01:43:14clothing. An internal privacy impact assessment by the SPVM
01:43:17obtained by CBC News acknowledges the technology
01:43:20poses civil liberties risks. They mentioned that it could
01:43:23put innocent third parties under investigation and the
01:43:26risk of discrimination based on visible social characteristics.
01:43:30This lawyer says the right to privacy is fundamental.
01:43:33And if we're using AI to organize, to treat, to analyze,
01:43:39make decisions or projections based on this data,
01:43:45you, the individual will lose
01:43:47control over is his privacy. At least in the public domain. The
01:43:51city's public records show a $17,
01:43:53000 contract to obtain 4 Cloud Runner units over the
01:43:56subscription of one year. CBC News reached out to the city

01:44:10and that's why it's important for cities to be as transparent
01:44:13as possible. Every time
01:44:15camera pops up in public use without any explanation for why
01:44:19it's there, it's reasonable for members of

01:46:21It's a common sight on summer nights,
01:46:23kids and teens racing around on E scooters hitting 40 to 60
01:46:27kilometers or more. This 12 year old boy was left with a
01:46:31fractured skull after crashing without a helmet. There was a
01:46:35possibility he would not make it. Crystal Dunkley's son Sean
01:46:39was in a coma for a week last summer and spent more than a
01:46:43month in hospital. He eventually made a full recovery
01:46:47and now reminds others to wear a helmet. He has tried to turn
01:46:51a tragedy. This is something
01:46:55positive.
01:46:57Canadian doctors say more kids are getting seriously injured,
01:47:01even dying, in E scooter accidents. A new
01:47:04survey of pediatricians suggests there were 10 deaths,
01:47:0812 ICU admissions and 26 hospitalizations lasting more
01:47:12than two days, all linked to E scooter crashes
01:47:15in just one year. These devices are often marketed as toys,
01:47:19and I will tell you they're anything but toys.
01:47:24Sick Kids in Toronto is among the hospitals seeing a spike in
01:47:27injuries from two dozen cases in 2023 to more than 100 last
01:47:31year. And this year we're likely on target for more than
01:47:34that. So we're just seeing a complete exponential rise in
01:47:38the number of kids we're seeing in any injury. And so it
01:47:41follows that more severe injuries will also increase
01:47:45that kind of this a similar rate. E scooters are illegal
01:47:48for most Canadians under 16, but we're not seeing
01:47:51enforcement of age. We're not seeing enforcement
01:47:54of double riding. Helmet wear is not enforced.
01:48:00The 18 year old son of former Canadian Prime Minister Justin
01:48:04Trudeau skipped any head protection for a back to school
01:48:07E scooter ad this week. I would say this is the Rolls Royce of
01:48:11scooters. Prompting his mom to ask where's your helmet?
01:48:15Xavier Trudeau quickly posted an apology,
01:48:18saying safety is the most important thing. With a
01:48:21patchwork of local bylaws across much of the country,
01:48:25doctors worry more young riders will remain at risk. Lauren

01:53:08This scene outside Calgary Saddledome,
01:53:10a bit of a summer trend. Thousands of fans left waiting
01:53:14for hours for a Neo and Akon concert that started two hours
01:53:17late. You couldn't even get to your seats. They weren't
01:53:20letting people. Everyone's just sitting in the concourse.
01:53:26A brief apology from the stage, but no compensation. Amandeep
01:53:30Walia says between 2:00 tickets, extending a babysitter and food,
01:53:34he spent around $700.00 for the experience. We should have got
01:53:38a 30% rebate or you know, a 40% credit towards the next
01:53:42show from Ticketmaster in New York City,
01:53:45a different artist. But another delay when a Jay-Z show started
01:53:494 hours late came about 12/12/15. But it was it was it
01:53:53was definitely a show to remember.
01:53:57Risers blamed non ticket holders who stormed the
01:54:00entrances, creating security issues. 10,
01:54:02000 people outside. I don't wanna stop using. People get
01:54:06trampled, so I know
01:54:09convenience. Experts say ticket holders don't have many rights,
01:54:13even when shows run hours behind. Most concert ticket
01:54:16contracts are written to give promoters considerable
01:54:20flexibility if schedules change. But consumer advocates say
01:54:24concert promoters should be transparent with ticket holders
01:54:28about any schedule changes. It might be worthwhile trying to
01:54:32legislate for some sort of rights similar to when you have
01:54:36a flight and if your flight is delayed by two or three hours,
01:54:40you have the right to a refund. Live Nation Canada says it
01:54:44understands delays can be frustrating but adds live
01:54:47events are complex and involve many moving parts and despite
01:54:50extensive planning, unforeseen circumstances can

02:00:30Canada U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc met with U.S.
02:00:32Trade Representative Jameson Greer in Washington as pressure
02:00:36to get a new trade deal ratchets up even higher.
02:00:41He rejected any proposals by the US
02:00:44about that. LeBlanc keeping radio silence on a possible
02:00:48deadlock despite the looming deadline. New potentially
02:00:52devastating 50% US tariffs on a wide range of Canadian goods
02:00:56are just days from snapping into place. But at least one
02:01:00premier made it clear he doesn't want Ottawa to blink
02:01:03first. Evan Dyer joins us now from Ottawa. Evan,
02:01:07have we seen any signs of progress in these talks?
02:01:10Not really. Crystal, the Canadians in the US trade
02:01:14representative,
02:01:15Famous and Greer met for just under 2 hours this afternoon
02:01:18and he emerged with this message.
02:01:20We had good discussions today. We were cordial. They were
02:01:24detailed, the president, the Prime Minister,
02:01:26obviously they'll be given options and discussions,
02:01:29but I don't think there's anything to report right now.
02:01:32Is there a chance that there won't be?
02:01:34So it comes after we heard earlier this week that Ottawa
02:01:38rejected a proposal from Washington that lowered tariffs,
02:01:41but apparently not by enough. We did, however,
02:01:44hear from some premiers today. Yes,
02:01:46we heard from both Premier Ford of Ontario and Premier
02:01:49Frechette of Quebec stating pretty clearly
02:01:51that they want federal negotiators to hold the line.
02:01:54In the case of Frechette, we heard that supply management
02:01:57is a non negotiable for Quebec and that message has been
02:01:59communicated to Ottawa. And she also seemed to be looking past
02:02:02next Wednesday to a future where these threatened new
02:02:05tariffs are already in place and seeking assurances that the
02:02:08federal government would offer support to affected businesses
02:02:11and workers. And we saw federal finance ministers say that yes,
02:02:14the federal government will be there. He made those comments
02:02:17in Saguenay, Quebec, which is a region that's
02:02:19particularly vulnerable to tariffs because of its aluminum
02:02:23and forestry industries. We expect Dominic LeBlanc to brief
02:02:26his provincial counterparts on Friday. As for Ford,
02:02:29he suggested he'll hold the line on Ontario's boycott of US
02:02:33alcohol, saying he'll drop it only as
02:02:35part of a fair deal.
02:02:37I do not, I'm gonna emphasize, use alcohol as a bargaining
02:02:40chip during the negotiations. If we get a fair deal that will
02:02:44protect our steel sector, auto sector,
02:02:46our forestry sector, agriculture sector,
02:02:49manufacturing sector, then we'd be more than happy to
02:02:52bring booze back on the shelves only if we have a deal that's
02:02:56going to protect those sectors. So Ford added that pressure on
02:03:00the US was important, in his words. Kinda negotiates
02:03:03through strength, not weakness. And he's been
02:03:05very clear that he opposes any situation
02:03:08where the US keeps its tariffs on Canadian autos and Canadian
02:03:12carrier tariffs come off. Alright. That's Evan Dyer in
02:03:15Ottawa. Thanks so much. Thanks.
02:03:19They give us just a sliver more of the story of what happened
02:03:23on February 10th in the tiny, tight knit mountain town of
02:03:26Tumblr Ridge.
02:03:27A timeline of how police found the bodies of the 8 victims and
02:03:31of the shooter, 18 year old Jesse Van
02:03:34Rootselaar. The documents are heavily redacted. Strategic
02:03:38communication is happening where
02:03:41it is an RCMP choice, not a necessity or legal
02:03:45requirement to withhold a lot of the information right now,
02:03:50and that should be concerning to the public
02:03:55most concerned about the details of the firearms used.
02:04:00This is a big issue because there are concerns that have
02:04:05been raised about whether police action or inaction might
02:04:10have
02:04:12interfered with the shooters ability to follow through with
02:04:16the act at the school.
02:04:18We do have more details about the 911 calls that poured in
02:04:22that morning. First, a call about an SUV driving
02:04:24erratically away from the shooter's house,
02:04:27then multiple calls of shots fired inside the school.
02:04:31The documents give a timeline of officers arriving to the
02:04:34scene, hearing gunshots, going into the school,
02:04:37finding victims and ultimately the shooter dead with
02:04:40self-inflicted gunshot wounds. The documents say police had to
02:04:43hold while being shot at.
02:04:46They also mentioned the shooter went by multiple different last
02:04:49names and that some police officers thought there may have
02:04:52been 2 shooters for a time. But much is still uncertain as many
02:04:55pages are blacked out entirely. British Columbia has announced
02:04:58there will be a coroners inquest into the shootings,
02:05:01will examine issues like the shooters mental health and
02:05:04access to weapons, as well as the role artificial
02:05:06intelligence may have played in this case. And Michelle,
02:05:09let's talk a little bit about some of the details that we
02:05:12don't know yet.
02:05:14There's a lot that the section about the shooter social media
02:05:17accounts is redacted entirely. And while the documents show a
02:05:21police response timeline, all the timestamps are redacted.
02:05:24So we don't know details like how long passed between the
02:05:27police getting to the school and actually getting to the
02:05:30shooter. Michelle Allen in Vancouver, thank you.

02:10:22The latest in a long line of attacks in the occupied West
02:10:26Bank, this time in the village of
02:10:28Khusra, where militant settlers clashed
02:10:31with Israeli troops. After the settlers cut off access to
02:10:34three Palestinian homes,
02:10:37Green Rd. that leads to the house was blocked,
02:10:40says Ruqaiya Hasan. They dug up the road. They put rocks on it.
02:10:44No one is allowed to pass through it. And they cut off
02:10:48the electricity line. They cut off the water line from my from
02:10:52my house. And my neighbor. Louie Reedy,
02:10:54a Palestinian American, owns one of the homes that's
02:10:57under siege. He's been watching from Ohio,
02:11:00talking to his brother inside the house in Khusra where his
02:11:04food is running low.
02:11:07No one is helping him. And, and it just, you know,
02:11:10it's terrifying. Video from a surveillance camera mounted on
02:11:14Rudy's house until Israeli troops removed it shows
02:11:17soldiers mingling with settlers. Other video appears to show
02:11:21them praying together. The military initially took up
02:11:24positions in Khusra and ordered several Palestinian families
02:11:28out of their homes before reversing course and declaring
02:11:32they could stay. Officially, the IDF calls this siege
02:11:35illegal, reprehensible and unacceptable
02:11:38and says any IDF member involved will face disciplinary
02:11:42action. But human rights groups say previous incidents have
02:11:46shown those are empty words. In many of the videos of the
02:11:49attacks, you can see the settlers
02:11:52attacking while there are soldiers together with them
02:11:55either standing by and not doing anything or many times
02:11:59even participating in those attacks. This attack has
02:12:03prompted A sterner than usual response from Israel's closest
02:12:07ally, the United States.
02:12:08Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel,
02:12:12has called the attackers Israeli terrorists while
02:12:15insisting violence like this is the result of a very small
02:12:20minority who do great damage. Tom Perry, CBC News, Ottawa.
02:12:27In Germany, another anniversary marked In a
02:12:30country where remembrance runs deep.
02:12:3365 years ago, people in Berlin woke up to
02:12:37find a barbed wire fence had been erected. Overnight,
02:12:41the Communist E cut off its people from fleeing to the
02:12:46democratic W, splitting the city into. At
02:12:49least 136 people died trying to cross. I'm afraid for our
02:12:54freedom. Hartmut Richter successfully escaped. He swam
02:12:58to the West in 1966. Then he helped 33 people escape too,
02:13:03by smuggling them in the trunk of his.
02:13:06So far, nobody could imagine that it
02:13:08would be a 28 years. Many Germans thought the wall would
02:13:13never come down until it did, nearly 3 decades later. It was
02:13:17in my hotel and I heard in West Berlin and I heard so much
02:13:21noise and I spent the whole night totally dazed with
02:13:25everybody else crying and hugging. Since Unifying,
02:13:29Germany has consistently advocated for the free movement
02:13:33of people taking in large numbers of immigrants and
02:13:37refugees.
02:13:39But that identity is now facing one of its biggest tests. The
02:13:43far right political party, the AFD Alternative for
02:13:47Deutschland, continues to gain support. It
02:13:50wants to severely restrict immigration. And the party
02:13:54could win power for the first time in a state election next
02:13:58month. What an irony, isn't it, that we talked about
02:14:02reunification now in Germany for decades and we really want
02:14:06to become one people again. And now we have a party that
02:14:11really splits Germany and have memories of the wall are
02:14:14everywhere in Berlin, even this cobblestone path that
02:14:18marks exactly where the wall cut through the entire city. A
02:14:22constant reminder of the scars of division as Germany faces
02:14:26down a new era of political polarization. Marina von
02:14:30Stackelberg, CBC News, Berlin.
02:16:35For this outdoor adventure company,
02:16:37business in the summer is usually brisk,
02:16:40but it has slowed to a crawl. We've had no business
02:16:44whatsoever this week, only
02:16:48refunds, calling people to refund.
02:16:50That's pretty much it with the deadly Bald Range wildfire
02:16:54burning in BC Southern Interior. The air is thick with smoke,
02:16:57Okanogan beaches that would normally be packed are bare and
02:17:01almost no one is on the water.
02:17:04We have a dozen kayaks and stand up paddle boards and a
02:17:08tough pill to swallow if your company relies on tourism. It's
02:17:12sad that you get to a point where where it's. That's how
02:17:16you have to prepare yourself thinking that fires are a part
02:17:20of the world. But it doesn't make it any easier on the day
02:17:24when no one's renting bikes.
02:17:28This local ice cream shop is feeling the pinch too. Business
02:17:31has dropped at least 90% since the fire erupted. We've already
02:17:35laid off a chunk of our staff. Like knowing that Summerland
02:17:39isn't going to reopen right away. And we have entrepreneurs.
02:17:42We don't have the big, big businesses that can really
02:17:45hang on. So if this is a really important time for for our
02:17:49small business community to be making money. Roughly 12,
02:17:52000 people on evacuation order have no timeline on when they
02:17:56can go home. But with hot temperatures,
02:17:58gusty winds and a chance of thunderstorms,
02:18:01officials warn fires could intensify.
02:18:05Evacuees like Christine Coletta are trying to find ways to pass
02:18:09the time. These grapevines remind Coletta of her vineyard
02:18:13inside Summerland she worries about the tourists she's losing
02:18:17out on. About 35% of our total sales for the year come from
02:18:21what we call the tasting room. If we can't get in and open the
02:18:25tasting room and get our staff back in place,
02:18:28we're going to miss seeing thousands of people from now
02:18:31until the end of October.
02:18:34For businesses inside and outside the evacuation zone,
02:18:37they're taking it one day at a time,
02:18:39hoping things get back to normal soon. And Julia,
02:18:42some movement tonight on road closures in the area. That's
02:18:45right. So Hwy. 97, which you can see behind me,
02:18:48it runs through summer land and it has reopened. But traffic is
02:18:52only allowed between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM. And
02:18:55drivers are not allowed to stop or exit the highway without a
02:18:59temporary access pass. The regional district saying that
02:19:02if drivers don't follow the rules, the highway could shut down
02:19:05again. Julia Wong in Penticton, BC tonight.
02:19:12At the Sikh temple in Penticton, volunteers cut and prepare
02:19:16meals for evacuees. Since the Bald Range wildfire broke out
02:19:21on Friday, they've been supplying food and
02:19:24cooking hot meals, serving hundreds of evacuees
02:19:27each day. So we start feeding some people. The one
02:19:31desperately need essential items
02:19:35because some of them, they had nothing with them,
02:19:37not even shoes. Fresh fruits and vegetables are also
02:19:41available for evacuees. They just come from local farms.
02:19:45Fruit stands and some packing sheds and everybody willing to
02:19:49donate more than we need the farm fresh food as satisfying
02:19:53delight for summer land evacuee Barbara Dority. It's just
02:19:57amazing that we have everything that's available that they've
02:20:01taken from their farms and brought here for us. I mean,
02:20:04how, how wonderful can that be?
02:20:08Bethel Church in Penticton has also been helping,
02:20:11supplying hundreds of food hampers to evacuees.
02:20:16We have teams of people right now that have gone into the
02:20:20community and they're just finding those folks that have
02:20:23been displaced, that have maybe lost their
02:20:26homes, that are have been evacuated,
02:20:28that are living in RV's, living in parking lots,
02:20:31in their cars. Sharon Larock and her husband have been
02:20:35camping in their RV ever since they were evacuated from their
02:20:39summer Land home. She says she's blown away at how the
02:20:42people of Penticton have shown up to help. People drop by
02:20:46every day, numerous times
02:20:47every day, and they've given us bags of
02:20:50fruit and, um, do you need any shampoo or
02:20:53conditioner or deodorant or any kind of toiletry?
02:20:57They have diapers, everything. The province says
02:21:01they've freed up over 1000 hotel rooms across the Okanogan
02:21:05to provide evacuees a place to stay. But with 12,
02:21:09000 people forced to evacuate and no timeline for when they
02:21:13can return, many are still calling
02:21:16Penticton's parking lots home. It's
02:21:19not too bad, it gets nice cool at night so
02:21:22we've been able to sleep. Lots of people sleeping in their car,
02:21:26so we're very fortunate.
02:21:30This moments of generosity, it's really,
02:21:33really comforting. Adding a little comfort to evacuees
02:21:38during moments of darkness and uncertainty. Tiffany Goodwin,
02:21:43CBC News, Penticton.
02:21:47So scrolling on social media and searching wildfire returns
02:21:49millions of posts, some using AI to generate maps
02:21:53indicating wildfires were happening all across Ontario,
02:21:56when in reality there were no active wildfires in Toronto.
02:22:00Other reels showing AI generated firefighters claiming
02:22:03to be in Canada.
02:22:05Hello Canadians, and some recently claiming
02:22:08Allison is responsible for all wildfires in BC. In the absence
02:22:12of verified official information,
02:22:15people will often fill the gap and there's typically
02:22:18speculation online. As soon as a wildfire emerges or or
02:22:22wildfire season even begins, the conspiracy theories and the
02:22:26misinformation and disinformation start start
02:22:29increasing. And while RCMP has confirmed they are
02:22:32investigating the cause of the board range fire,
02:22:36they say this is typical. We've seen a number of human caused
02:22:39fires. Human cause does not immediately indicate arson or
02:22:42that it was intentionally set. Of course we've seen fires that
02:22:46have been accidental, especially with some of the
02:22:48conditions we've seen just like any other fire which we did a
02:22:52suspicious until proven otherwise. To be clear,
02:22:553 wildfires states that right now over 75% of wildfires this
02:22:58year are determined or suspected to be caused by
02:23:02lightning. And in a press conference on Tuesday,
02:23:05they confirmed that in total, 4% of all wildfires in the last
02:23:0910 years in BC are believed to be intentionally set. But the
02:23:13experts I spoke to say many AI generated images of flooding X
02:23:17TikTok and Meta and making it difficult to find credible
02:23:20information. Wildfire content lends itself to sensationalized
02:23:25images and so any image forward platform is is going to be
02:23:28really popular for this. I think the biggest thing to
02:23:31lookout for is, does it distract away from
02:23:35climate change? Sonia Suliman specializes in
02:23:38researching misinformation and disinformation surrounding
02:23:41extreme weather events. For the rise of AI generated a mess,
02:23:45and disinformation around climate specifically is really
02:23:49a huge problem in Canada. We've seen it's much easier to
02:23:52circulate that can reach borders and in seconds. She
02:23:55says some of those posts can include things like mislabeled
02:23:59maps or text that talks about wildfire mismanagement. Their
02:24:03direct disinformation narrative would be that
02:24:06this is a deliberate act rather than one caused by natural
02:24:09climate change. It changes the subject away from why are there
02:24:13more fires in more places around the world that are
02:24:16bigger and more frequent? It's because we have a hotter
02:24:20and drier climate. So what's behind some of these posts when
02:24:23it comes to disinformation meaning false information
02:24:27shared on purpose? Michael Coop, Policy Co chair of Climate
02:24:30Action Against Disinformation, says there's been a spike in
02:24:34the last five years. Natural disaster
02:24:36events have become a real hive for disinformation. The most
02:24:40pernicious and dangerous parts of climate disinformation,
02:24:43and disinformation in general, is that there's a network of
02:24:47people who get paid to divide society on the most important
02:24:50or most talked about issues. And the social media platforms
02:24:54are are square one responsible for that entire system of
02:24:57monetization. Vic 12 Rio is the executive director at What to
02:25:01Fix, an organization that's been
02:25:03tracking content monetization programs across social media
02:25:06platforms.
02:25:07In a situation like a wildfire, what you will have is a lot of
02:25:10people turning to social media for minute to minute news,
02:25:14and so you have an unusual amount of search for key terms
02:25:17that are related to the wildfires. So we've seen quite
02:25:21a bit of content that will sort of ride those keywords because
02:25:24that's just a way to get views in times like this. And in
02:25:28Canada, the experts we spoke to say
02:25:30that DIS and misinformation can be more extreme due to Matters
02:25:34response to Canada's Online News Act, which blocks
02:25:37Asian users from seeing all new sites on Facebook and Instagram.
02:25:41When journalism disappears, it's not
02:25:44replaced by nothing. Something has to fill that void, right?
02:25:48And right now, it's replaced by content that
02:25:50serves a very different function. So influencer posts,
02:25:54which carry no attribution and score far higher on emotional
02:25:57intensity are are much more popular now. Take this post on
02:26:01Facebook about the wildfire in Peachland,
02:26:03BC last year. While the post says it's AI generated,
02:26:06it's still got a lot of views. The BC Wildfire Service
02:26:09specifically called out this image along with another AI
02:26:13image, saying they do not accurately
02:26:15represent the terrain, fire size or fire behaviour in
02:26:18the area and that these types of posts can add to anxiety
02:26:21that come with wildfires. The post appears to be published by
02:26:25a digital creator on Instagram with 80,
02:26:27000 followers and on Facebook with 2 million followers. The
02:26:31accounts feature multiple posts about wildfires and other
02:26:34extreme weather events this year. We do unfortunately come
02:26:38across quite a lot of those. There's very large communities
02:26:41of individual. They've come to realize that they can generate
02:26:45quite a bit
02:26:46of revenue by running faceless accounts and automating much of
02:26:49the process and really jumping from crisis to crisis. Now,
02:26:53we searched the What to Fix Monetization archive and found
02:26:57that the account owner of that AI generated wildfire post is a
02:27:00monetized Facebook account. So two years ago,
02:27:03based on the data that we have, we had two million accounts
02:27:07registered to monetize on Facebook. Today we're looking
02:27:10at 16 000, 000. So that's an 800% increase
02:27:13in just two years. There are more players,
02:27:16possibly less money to be made, but still,
02:27:18if you're making $1000 a month in many of those places,
02:27:21that actually goes a very long way and it's incentive enough.
02:27:25We reached out to the account owner about the posts but did
02:27:29not receive a response by our deadline. Rio says while
02:27:32monetization programs like Meters do help content creators
02:27:35generate income, they lack regulation when it
02:27:38comes to who qualifies for the program. The whole AI slot
02:27:41problem is very much a byproduct of those monetization
02:27:44programs, and it's not just
02:27:46better. Rios says X, TikTok, Snapchat and LinkedIn all have
02:27:50their own content monetization programs. Solomon says without
02:27:53more regulation on these platforms,
02:27:55it could have real consequences. It can really misdirect public
02:27:59response and undermine of official emergency
02:28:02communications. We need policies to to strengthen
02:28:04information integrity and certainly AI safety and that's
02:28:08really the structural at the structural platform level and
02:28:11that includes the economic models that these platforms are built on.
02:28:18Check this out. This is a NASA ER 2A repurposed Cold War spy
02:28:20craft, and it was just tracked flying
02:28:22back and forth over Western Canada for six hours straight.
02:28:26So why is a NASA spy plane flying over Canada?
02:28:29It's up there because of these fire clouds,
02:28:31a phenomenon we don't fully understand. I'll explain.
02:28:34Canada is dealing with explosive wildfires like the
02:28:38Bald Range Fire that erupted in size on August 7th. And NASA
02:28:41sent this high altitude spy plane to track a terrifying
02:28:44weather event born out of the flames
02:28:47cloud called pyro cumulonimbus, or firecloud. Here's how these
02:28:50firestorms work. When a wildfire gets big enough and
02:28:53hot enough in a short amount of time, it triggers giant,
02:28:56violent updrafts. the Super heated air and moisture act
02:29:00like a vacuum, pulling winds and oxygen into
02:29:02the base of the fire, giving it the fuel it needs
02:29:05while punching smoke straight up into the sky. This creates A
02:29:08literal thunderstorm, one that generates its own
02:29:11downbursts, erratic lightning strikes,
02:29:13and even fire tornadoes. It was officially added to the
02:29:16International Cloud Atlas in 2017 as Cumulonimbus Flamm agenus,
02:29:20and scientists have been trying to understand them ever since.
02:29:24Data from the World Climate Research Program shows that
02:29:27these storms act like chimneys. For a long time,
02:29:30scientists thought only big volcanic eruptions or nuclear
02:29:33blasts could force particles into the stratosphere. Now we
02:29:37know these intense pyrocumulus can shoot plumes of black
02:29:40carbon and aerosols up to 16 kilometers into the lower
02:29:43stratosphere, where they stay trapped. And
02:29:46climate change is making these fire cloud
02:29:48producing mega fires occur more often and the most often in
02:29:51Canada, according to the latest
02:29:53research. And that's exactly why NASA is flying a spy plane
02:29:56directly over the smoke at 60, 000 feet. It's a modified
02:29:59Lockheed U2, nicknamed the Dragon Lady,
02:30:01an aircraft used by the US military back in the pre
02:30:04satellite era for exactly this purpose. Studying the ground
02:30:08from incredibly high, the R2 sits safely in the
02:30:10stratosphere looking straight down into the core of the storm.
02:30:14It's measuring the exact height, temperature and thickness of
02:30:17the plume in real time.
02:30:19The goal is to figure out exactly how these firestorms
02:30:21develop so we can forecast them, because understanding this fire
02:30:25monster is the first step to surviving it. Johanna Wagstaff,
02:30:28CBC News, Vancouver.
02:32:33Ontario's opposition parties are demanding answers over
02:32:36reports that the Progressive Conservative Party spied on
02:32:40former provincial Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie,
02:32:42and these allegations are first reported by the Trillium and
02:32:46Pauli Corner. The party allegedly spent nearly 3000 in
02:32:49donor and taxpayer dollars on resorts in Jamaica. In a
02:32:53statement to CBC News, a party spokesperson confirmed
02:32:56quote opposition research occurred in December of 2023.
02:32:59The alleged surveillance took place six days after Crombie
02:33:03won the Liberal leadership race. My next guest was one of the
02:33:07reporters breaking that story. Ahmed El Bayoumi is the author
02:33:11of Polly Corner, and he joins me now. Thank you
02:33:14very much for your time.
02:33:19And can you tell me, so how did this come?
02:33:22How did you, you know, get a tip and and how did you
02:33:26find this out? So essentially on Monday,
02:33:28my colleague Jack Cowan at the Trillium reported that $3000
02:33:32was spent by the PC Party in Ontario on hotels in Jamaica.
02:33:36And a couple of days later, as journalists in this province
02:33:40try to figure out what these hotels were used for. Myself
02:33:43and my colleague Charlie Pinkerton at the Trillium,
02:33:47we both reported for the Trillium and for Polly Corner
02:33:50that the PC Party sent an operative to Jamaica in order
02:33:54to spy on, as is alleged by our sources,
02:33:56the former then Liberal leader, Bonnie Crombie. Now keep in
02:34:00mind, she was just elected Liberal
02:34:02leader. It was six days after her win that she went to
02:34:05Jamaica for a three day vacation. It is that. It is
02:34:08then when we are told that the Conservatives sent an operative
02:34:12to stay at the same resort that she was at to try to gather
02:34:16Intel about her. This is what they describe as opposition
02:34:19research. Oftentimes to, you know,
02:34:21information on a political opponent that not that might
02:34:25not be necessarily pleasant or or or
02:34:29good for them
02:34:31reeds on like a a movie plot at a Hollywood that Ford has
02:34:34reacted to the story today. Yeah. What's he saying? Well,
02:34:38I asked the premier explicitly why he thought that taxpayer
02:34:41money was it was OK for taxpayer money to be spent on
02:34:44an operation like this. Keep in mind,
02:34:46political parties in Ontario, they make their money from both
02:34:50donors but from also a per vote subsidy that is paid by the
02:34:53taxpayer. The Premier said he only found out when Polly
02:34:56Corner and the Trillium asked questions yesterday and that he
02:35:00was not aware that he does not approve of it
02:35:02personally, but that we should ask
02:35:04questions to the party. And as you said,
02:35:06the party in a statement this evening confirmed to us that
02:35:10they didn't indeed send someone to Jamaica on what they are
02:35:14describing as an opposition research mission.
02:35:17So the opposition, the Liberal Party, who were,
02:35:20you know, I guess the subject of this
02:35:22reconnaissance, what's the reaction there? Well,
02:35:25opposition parties are describing this as creepy,
02:35:28disgusting and completely inappropriate. Mart Styles,
02:35:31the leader of the official Opposition NDP here,
02:35:34she said yesterday that she thought that the buck stops
02:35:37with the premier, that regardless of whether he
02:35:40knew or whether it was, you know, a senior staffer,
02:35:42a junior staffer, that the premier is ultimately
02:35:45accountable for this. The leader of the Liberals,
02:35:48they said that he doesn't believe. John Fraser said that
02:35:52he doesn't believe that the premier is telling the truth,
02:35:55that the premier ought to have known that someone from his
02:35:58from his team was was sent to Jamaica to do this and that it
02:36:02crosses a line. There is in their opinion,
02:36:05a difference between a political operation when a
02:36:08politician is actively doing their job and when a politician
02:36:11is outside of the country on a vacation. Yeah. So that for
02:36:15saying that he did not know about this, he's also,
02:36:18I believe, saying
02:36:19that this is no different in his mind than when reporters
02:36:23follow him on trips to the US. So you've covered Queens Park
02:36:26for, what, four years now? Yeah. Is it different? I,
02:36:30I do think it is different. I think that journalists being
02:36:33able to follow the premier on a trip,
02:36:36whether he is a premier or a counselor at the time, that is,
02:36:39you know, where he is doing government
02:36:42business is very different from journalists, you know,
02:36:45going after the premier on a vacation. Keep in mind that
02:36:49this is a premier who who talks a lot about, you know,
02:36:52how important his personal privacy and his family's
02:36:55privacy is. The premier took issue years ago,
02:36:58I believe two or three years ago when protester protesters
02:37:01showed up to his house. He told them to, you know,
02:37:04keep the politics at Queens Park. And so the premier is
02:37:07ultimately now answering for why he thought that the OR why
02:37:10his party thought that the standard here was somewhat
02:37:13different For Bonnie Crombie

02:37:18Thanks so much for coming into studio to talk to us. Thanks for having me.
02:40:58Montreal police are utilizing AI to help with its
02:41:00investigations. The tech and the way it's being used could
02:41:03change policing in the city moving forward. The SPVM has
02:41:06made it very clear they're interested in it to this
02:41:09technology. They're deploying this technology. A surveillance
02:41:13camera similar to Flock in the United States is here. It's
02:41:16called the Cloud Runner CRH 2 from Montreal based company
02:41:19Genentech. It scans license plates but can also identify
02:41:22the colour, make and model of vehicles. But
02:41:25unlike Flock, the information can only be accessed by its operator.
02:41:29The camera is one part of a larger software that uses AI to
02:41:33detect and identify vehicles. But the company says privacy is
02:41:37carefully monitored and that data can't be tampered with as
02:41:40every interaction with it is logged. You should have an
02:41:44expectation of reasonable privacy. However, as I said,
02:41:47it's a trade off. If the threat of something bad happening is
02:41:52high, as a community we need to say
02:41:54what are we comfortable with giving up? In a statement,
02:41:57the SPBM says that it's only using the cloud
02:42:00and her camera for a specific investigation and that other
02:42:04similar cameras could be added in the future. It is connected
02:42:08to the wireless network, so the cellular network. And so
02:42:12footage that it collects, just watching traffic,
02:42:15watching whatever goes on outside is then sent to,
02:42:18you know, a cloud service. And then
02:42:20artificial intelligence is used to analyze those that that
02:42:24footage. The SPM is also using another software called imotion
02:42:28Roc. It's an American software from Rank One
02:42:31Computing. It uses AI to track certain characteristics,
02:42:35among other things. It's currently on 46 urban security
02:42:39cameras and can even work on video collected by officers
02:42:43with citizen consent or warrant. Rock's ability is to look up to
02:42:488 different attributes at once. So the ability to go rapidly
02:42:52and look at different images, all the images at normal speed
02:42:57and analyze the footage so you can find something specific.
02:43:01Though the software has real time biometric tracking
02:43:04capabilities, VBM says it wouldn't use those
02:43:07features. It says it would focus on elements detectives
02:43:10already know. And we'll look for visual attributes like
02:43:14clothing. An internal privacy impact assessment by the SPVM
02:43:17obtained by CBC News acknowledges the technology
02:43:20poses civil liberties risks. They mentioned that it could
02:43:23put innocent third parties under investigation and the
02:43:26risk of discrimination based on visible social characteristics.
02:43:30This lawyer says the right to privacy is fundamental.
02:43:33And if we're using AI to organize, to treat, to analyze,
02:43:39make decisions or projections based on this data,
02:43:45you, the individual will lose
02:43:47control over is his privacy. At least in the public domain. The
02:43:51city's public records show a $17,
02:43:53000 contract to obtain 4 Cloud Runner units over the
02:43:56subscription of one year. CBC News reached out to the city
02:44:00and asked if it had submitted a bid to obtain the Cloud Runner
02:44:04cameras, and it said it didn't. Levy
02:44:06says these technologies could be abused by law enforcement
02:44:10and that's why it's important for cities to be as transparent
02:44:13as possible. Every time
02:44:15camera pops up in public use without any explanation for why
02:44:19it's there, it's reasonable for members of
02:44:21the public to ask questions, why is it being used,
02:44:24Who is using it? What is it being used for?
02:44:27How are my rights being protected?
02:44:29Says policymakers have to catch up and set limitations on how
02:44:33AI technology can be used in public.

02:46:21It's a common sight on summer nights,
02:46:23kids and teens racing around on E scooters hitting 40 to 60
02:46:27kilometers or more. This 12 year old boy was left with a
02:46:31fractured skull after crashing without a helmet. There was a
02:46:35possibility he would not make it. Crystal Dunkley's son Sean
02:46:39was in a coma for a week last summer and spent more than a
02:46:43month in hospital. He eventually made a full recovery
02:46:47and now reminds others to wear a helmet. He has tried to turn
02:46:51a tragedy. This is something
02:46:55positive.
02:46:57Canadian doctors say more kids are getting seriously injured,
02:47:01even dying, in E scooter accidents. A new
02:47:04survey of pediatricians suggests there were 10 deaths,
02:47:0812 ICU admissions and 26 hospitalizations lasting more
02:47:12than two days, all linked to E scooter crashes
02:47:15in just one year. These devices are often marketed as toys,
02:47:19and I will tell you they're anything but toys.
02:47:24Sick Kids in Toronto is among the hospitals seeing a spike in
02:47:27injuries from two dozen cases in 2023 to more than 100 last
02:47:31year. And this year we're likely on target for more than
02:47:34that. So we're just seeing a complete exponential rise in
02:47:38the number of kids we're seeing in any injury. And so it
02:47:41follows that more severe injuries will also increase
02:47:45that kind of this a similar rate. E scooters are illegal
02:47:48for most Canadians under 16, but we're not seeing
02:47:51enforcement of age. We're not seeing enforcement
02:47:54of double riding. Helmet wear is not enforced.
02:48:00The 18 year old son of former Canadian Prime Minister Justin
02:48:04Trudeau skipped any head protection for a back to school
02:48:07E scooter ad this week. I would say this is the Rolls Royce of
02:48:11scooters. Prompting his mom to ask where's your helmet?
02:48:15Xavier Trudeau quickly posted an apology,
02:48:18saying safety is the most important thing. With a
02:48:21patchwork of local bylaws across much of the country,
02:48:25doctors worry more young riders will remain at risk. Lauren

02:53:08This scene outside Calgary Saddledome,
02:53:10a bit of a summer trend. Thousands of fans left waiting
02:53:14for hours for a Neo and Akon concert that started two hours
02:53:17late. You couldn't even get to your seats. They weren't
02:53:20letting people. Everyone's just sitting in the concourse.
02:53:25A brief apology from the stage, but no compensation. Amandeep
02:53:30Walia says between 2:00 tickets, extending a babysitter and food,
02:53:34he spent around $700.00 for the experience. We should have got
02:53:38a 30% rebate or you know, a 40% credit towards the next
02:53:42show from Ticketmaster in New York City,
02:53:45a different artist. But another delay when a Jay-Z show started
02:53:494 hours late came about 12/12/15. But it was it was it
02:53:53was definitely a show to remember.
02:53:57Risers blamed non ticket holders who stormed the
02:54:00entrances, creating security issues. 10,
02:54:02000 people outside. I don't wanna stop using. People get
02:54:06trampled, so I know
02:54:09convenience. Experts say ticket holders don't have many rights,
02:54:13even when shows run hours behind. Most concert ticket
02:54:16contracts are written to give promoters considerable
02:54:20flexibility if schedules change. But consumer advocates say
02:54:24concert promoters should be transparent with ticket holders
02:54:28about any schedule changes. It might be worthwhile trying to
02:54:32legislate for some sort of rights similar to when you have
02:54:36a flight and if your flight is delayed by two or three hours,
02:54:40you have the right to a refund. Live Nation Canada says it
02:54:44understands delays can be frustrating but adds live
02:54:47events are complex and involve many moving parts and despite
02:54:50extensive planning, unforeseen circumstances can
02:54:53sometimes arise. Frustrate me the most was if they were to
02:54:57start on time, we would have got that full

03:00:30Canada U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc met with U.S.
03:00:32Trade Representative Jameson Greer in Washington as pressure
