00:00:25Against a tranquil backdrop, Cabinet ministers are hunkering
00:00:28down to plan how to weather the turbulent trade war with the
00:00:32United States
00:00:34against the US. Well, we're looking to have forward
00:00:38to have some great meeting school at this cabinet planning
00:00:41forum to keep Canada strong. We think there is a mutually
00:00:45beneficial deal possible that respects our sovereignty and is
00:00:49in the interests of both countries. Despite formal trade
00:00:52negotiations at a standstill, Prime Minister Mark Kearney
00:00:56said at a press conference earlier in the day with
00:00:59Ukraine's president that he recently spoke to the US
00:01:02president about global events, including Ukraine,
00:01:05Iran and International Energy markets. I speak regularly to
00:01:09the president. President Trump is spoken in the recent days.
00:01:14Just days ago, the Trump administration
00:01:16announced plans to ban certain Canadian goods,
00:01:19including most alcohol. The Prime Minister wouldn't say if
00:01:24Canada will retaliate again. We fully recognize that
00:01:28for individual companies and in individual sectors,
00:01:32these are significant and there's a response there. I
00:01:35would also recognize that
00:01:37in the context of other things that the US administration has
00:01:41done, other measures US
00:01:43administration has done, that these are relatively
00:01:46modest. But some premiers want action now. I think President
00:01:50Trump gets his knickers in a knot when it comes to alcohol,
00:01:53even though it's a very small, small percentage of the overall
00:01:57tariffs. But we we have to fight back. New Brunswick
00:02:00announcing a new public sector ban on US procurement. We can't
00:02:04control what President Trump does, but what we can control,
00:02:08that's what we do here in New Brunswick. Meanwhile,
00:02:11the leader of the Official Opposition is making the rounds
00:02:14on American television networks with a message for Trump. So
00:02:18let's knock down those tariffs and focus on building a
00:02:21stronger North America for our two separate countries.
00:02:29The Prime Minister says the government is always willing to
00:02:32sit down at the negotiating table in a professional way,
00:02:35and the proposed deal that was on the table with the US would
00:02:38have compromised Canada's sovereignty. So over the next
00:02:41two days here in the Rockies, Kearney says he and his cabinet
00:02:44will be focused on strengthening the economy,
00:02:47diversifying abroad and delivering for Canadians.
00:02:52So, Olivia, those are the big ones. There are other issues, though. What else is the
00:02:56cabinet discussing?
00:03:00Well, holding this cabinet planning
00:03:02forum in Banff sends a message about national unity. Alberta
00:03:05is about to hold a referendum next month,
00:03:07which could lead to a vote on separation. Now,
00:03:10Carney doesn't want that to happen, but for now,
00:03:13he's taking a bit of a hands off approach,
00:03:15encouraging Albertans to head to the ballot box on October
00:03:1819th no matter what they believe in.
00:03:23All right, Olivia, thank you. That is Olivia Evanovich in Banff tonight.
00:03:29It is a long way from the war-torn skies of Ukraine to
00:03:33the peaceful wide open skies of the Canadian prairies. But now
00:03:37the two countries are getting closer. Canada will always
00:03:41stand in solidarity with Ukraine. Canada and Ukraine
00:03:45signed a new 100 year partnership spanning defence,
00:03:48trade and energy and a massive new drone deal. Mr. President,
00:03:52I have to confess that our armed forces currently have
00:03:57but 2000 drones in our inventory.
00:04:02In the years to come, we will need millions. Ripping
00:04:05a page out of Ukraine's wartime experience. Ottawa will create
00:04:09its own drone marketplace so individual Canadian military
00:04:13units can quickly order what they need. There's a joint
00:04:17production deal with 1/3 of Canadian built drones going to
00:04:20Ukraine, and Canadian companies will now
00:04:23partner directly with Ukrainian firms,
00:04:27she says. This will give us greater capacity to finance
00:04:30Ukraine's defence while giving Canada new technological
00:04:33capabilities that have been proven in Modern Warfare. 1 of
00:04:37the challenges Canada faces in the race to catch up to Ukraine
00:04:40is the speed at which drone technology evolves. So if we
00:04:44had two million drones on our shelves,
00:04:46then in a month or two months or six months,
00:04:48they may all be obsolete because the technology is
00:04:51evolving so quickly. But we do have to create an industrial
00:04:55base that is capable of producing at that scale
00:04:58and capable of scaling up at the time of need each day.
00:05:01Ukraine faces that evolution in technology. The latest threat
00:05:05from Russia, jet powered drones. Countering
00:05:08them and the damage they can do is a major preoccupation for
00:05:12Vladimir Zelensky as winter approaches. Murray Brewster.
00:05:15CBC News Ottawa.
00:05:19The future of war is on sale in Poland this week,
00:05:23with Canadian firms making an unprecedented,
00:05:26highly visible sales pitch on drones,
00:05:28ammunition and all sorts of other lethal weaponry. Only a
00:05:32couple of years ago, you'd never have seen anything
00:05:36like this. For most government agencies and banks,
00:05:39working with the Canadian defence sector was largely
00:05:43taboo.
00:05:45But the Carney government is driving a massive pivot,
00:05:48trying to shift focus away from the US market,
00:05:51which traditionally buys most of Canada's defence tech,
00:05:54and looking towards Europe.
00:05:57Now Ottawa is all in,
00:06:00is the largest single defence delegation in Canadian history
00:06:03anywhere. So it's a very big breakthrough as we extend our
00:06:07reach into Europe bilaterally with Poland,
00:06:09we're growing and it's it's really taking hold given how
00:06:13they dominate the battlefield in nearby Ukraine. Small drones
00:06:17are huge here. Charles Barlow's Ottawa company is already
00:06:20supplying one European NATO ally,
00:06:22and he's looking for others.
00:06:25So we've actually manufactured this out of plywood
00:06:29and it works. It flies just as well as the carbon fiber
00:06:32version, which surprised all of us.
00:06:35Other Canadian gear is built for brute force. This Quebec
00:06:39based firm originally made these monster fat trucks for
00:06:42the Canadian Arctic. RV is actually. But David Lord says
00:06:46European buyers want to try them out first. Difficult
00:06:49logistics for a mid sized Canadian company to navigate.
00:06:53There's nothing like experiencing driving it and
00:06:56conquering terrain and that's where we're trying to go right
00:06:59now. It's a hard pivot. It really is. Defence industry
00:07:03executives welcomed the European push but are also
00:07:06realistic about the
00:07:078 rooted ties binding Canada to the US. Our relationship under
00:07:11NORAD has given us privileges and our defence Production
00:07:15Sharing agreement has given us privileges that we certainly
00:07:19don't wanna see. We certainly don't wanna lose. The hope here
00:07:23in Poland is that splashy rollouts like this will prove
00:07:27to European allies that in a shifting geopolitical landscape,
00:07:31Canada can be a critical partner. Chris Brown,
00:07:34CBC News and Kielbasa, Poland.
00:07:41The whole point of this Republican gathering is to
00:07:44build momentum ahead of November's midterm elections.
00:07:50And the US president trying to do exactly that,
00:07:53defending his extraordinary promise to give each adult U.S.
00:07:57citizen $5000 should his party win the House and Senate.
00:08:01How is that financially responsible or even doable?
00:08:04Well, first of all, the money has to be spent in
00:08:08the United States. We can't go out and buy things from Germany
00:08:11or or frankly, Canada. Trump's plan could cost
00:08:14more than a trillion dollars, and he suggests revenues
00:08:18collected from tariffs could be used to pay for the program.
00:08:21Technically, is it illegal? Probably not. Courts in the US
00:08:25would generally say a broad campaign promise about policy,
00:08:29about giving everybody money if the Republicans win. Even
00:08:32though it's certainly
00:08:34sounds like a bribe, it's not necessarily a bribe.
00:08:37Trump's team quickly fired off this fundraising e-mail as
00:08:40Republicans get behind the pledge. So we're in the very
00:08:43first stages when the president throws out an idea,
00:08:46and it's up to us in Congress to make the numbers work,
00:08:49to get the details right. But Democrats say the extreme pitch
00:08:53shows that Republicans are worried about their chances in
00:08:56the midterms at a time when Trump has low national approval
00:09:00ratings and families face challenges with the cost of
00:09:03living. It's it's sort of pathetic and sad.
00:09:06Same time pathetic because it's just ********
00:09:10and said that he had to go in front of people and basically
00:09:14bribe them.
00:09:16As for what voters think, some are reacting with
00:09:20skepticism. Anybody who believe that they gonna get $5000 from
00:09:25Trump if the Republican win, they
00:09:27believe the whole bunch of ********
00:09:30the full and down the pipe. Another big question is whether
00:09:34Trump has the power to do this. The lawyer we spoke with says
00:09:37these kinds of payments would require congressional approval,
00:09:41though Trump is saying he doesn't think that's the case.
00:09:44So, Katie, it seems pretty clear that
00:09:47Donald Trump wants voters just to focus on his payment promise
00:09:50as that election campaign ramps up. Yeah,
00:09:53just over 50 days to go until voters decide who will have
00:09:56control of Congress. Trump is downplaying the consequences of
00:10:00a major loss for Republicans, saying he'll become a blocker
00:10:03with plans to block legislation if Democrats win back the House
00:10:07and the Senate. Alright, the use of that veto. Alright,
00:10:09That is Katie Simpson in Washington tonight.

00:14:57STOLEN BY TERRORISTS. THIS IS 9/11, 25 YEARS
00:16:43There has never been another day like it.
00:16:49Due to a recent development in the United States,
00:16:51US airspace has been closed.
00:16:53Hundreds of planes with thousands of people told they
00:16:57had to land now.
00:17:00Craft land as soon as possible at the nearest airport. An
00:17:04attack underway. Many planes diverted here. Newfoundland
00:17:07Negative. You must now land at Gander.
00:17:11From here in the Gander Air Traffic Control tower. It was a
00:17:15scramble on 9/11 as planes began to land. They needed
00:17:18places to put them using tarmac space,
00:17:21including an old disused runway. Anywhere they could find space
00:17:25to put a plane, they did. It was intense,
00:17:27but and then it was over. It was air traffic controller Don
00:17:31O'Brien's job to order planes down.
00:17:34All around her fault and it's wrong. We're here.
00:17:3838 aircraft coming to a place few passengers at. Ever heard
00:17:42of. Big jets parked wing to wing an unprecedented race in
00:17:47case more hijackers were still in the air.
00:17:52The pilots who wanted to get out of sky because it nobody
00:17:55knew what was more activity going to go on,
00:17:57terrorist activity.
00:17:59We had to literally drained the sky later. I'm Spacer. Yeah. 25
00:18:03years on. The Gander airport is a lot quieter now. This would
00:18:06have been an example of the kind of screen you were looking
00:18:10at that day. Yes, they're coming off westbound.
00:18:12Just the oceanic boundary line here,
00:18:16artifacts displayed from that awful day,
00:18:19but the memories that endure are far more positive. It was a
00:18:24good feeling of, after working at all,
00:18:27of satisfaction that you got them down safely.
00:18:32That day became emblematic of the closeness that can exist
00:18:36between Canadians and Americans,
00:18:39and it is a closeness that's being tested now,
00:18:43big time. We've been pushed to the wall. Welcome to
00:18:47unexpected
00:18:49visit to Canada. We are in Gander. It was the first time I
00:18:53had to rely on the kindness of a stranger to give me a pillow
00:18:57to lie my head at night. And American Kevin Turf was flying
00:19:01from Paris to New York that day. He was among close to 7000
00:19:06unexpected guests in Gander. There's the plane. You can't
00:19:10miss that
00:19:12with thousands more landing across Atlantic Canada.
00:19:18Mac and Nellie. Hello Canadian bonus parents, how are you?
00:19:22Hi son, how you doing in in New York?
00:19:25Kevin isn't really Mac and Nellie Moss's son. But a
00:19:28quarter century on it sure feels that way. A weary
00:19:32traveler welcomed with overwhelming Newfoundland
00:19:35kindness. Mac and Nellie jumped into action and gave us food,
00:19:40clothing, shelter, information and love and it
00:19:43really changed my life and and over the years we've really
00:19:48kept in touch. We were very fortunate because
00:19:51you know the the friendship memory that we've developed and
00:19:55I got a song out of it, so that's a real bonus here.
00:20:01The town's population effectively doubled housed its
00:20:04school gyms, college classrooms. People's
00:20:07homes are herculean effort to find food, bedding,
00:20:11towels and toiletries. Everything those now dubbed the
00:20:15Plain People might need.
00:20:19But it was the intangible comfort offered that stuck. 911
00:20:24changed a lot of people's lives. You know, some people lost
00:20:29wives and husbands and
00:20:32parents,
00:20:34but it changed other people. And, and in some ways,
00:20:37it could. It had the power to change for for good. Yeah. And
00:20:40I think that's your story. That's exactly what kindness
00:20:43was a big thing, for sure. A lot of them wanted
00:20:46to pay us for their stay. And I said no.
00:20:49Anytime that you have an opportunity,
00:20:53pay it forward. You know, do good to people. Remember
00:20:57your time in Gander.
00:20:59We owe our Canadian neighbors a debt of gratitude. An American
00:21:05cabinet secretary praising Canada? Imagine that today.
00:21:10We've got tariffs, we've got trade threats. We've got, I mean, we've got threats to take over
00:21:14the whole country.
00:21:16It makes me angry to
00:21:19to see our government
00:21:22talking about our neighbor
00:21:24like they are and acting the way they are because it's not
00:21:28how you treat neighbors. I agree 100%
00:21:33to thank Newfoundland for its kindness. Parts of the World
00:21:37Trade Centres have been donated to Gander and other towns that
00:21:41pitched in a way to remember what happened.
00:21:46What is the global success of the musical Come From Away?
00:21:52You got it.
00:21:54It reinvigorated the story of Newfoundlanders creating
00:21:58comfort in the face of tragedy.
00:22:02How are you, David Cotton, Welcome to my home. Thank you
00:22:06very much. There's a character in the musical named for Beulah
00:22:10Cooper. She never gets bored of telling her own story,
00:22:13even 25 years later. It all began for you with a phone call.
00:22:18Trey sandwiches to the Legion and they said there's plenty
00:22:21load of people coming in. They're saying tonight I said I
00:22:24guess I better wait to stay around and see if I can help,
00:22:27and I did.
00:22:32The sentiment behind those sandwiches is the reason Beulah
00:22:35receives all these cards, letters and well wishes. If you
00:22:39like. You are a constant reminder of the depth of
00:22:42humanity, grace, and kindness
00:22:44that exist in the world. Wow. And there's an awful lot of
00:22:49them. This is part of what I got. I really and truly think
00:22:55since 9:11,
00:22:57it's open a lot of hearts and a lot of eyes because you hear
00:23:01tell of it more now than you ever did before. People helping
00:23:05people.
00:23:07There's a constant flow of new visitors to the Legion,
00:23:11many wanting to meet the famous Beulah.
00:23:15Being a celebrity, I know you. And just as income
00:23:18from away, visitors are made honorary
00:23:21Newfoundlanders through the old tradition of being screeched in.
00:23:25And yes, it means kissing a codfish,
00:23:29blown away by the kindness of the people. And this experience
00:23:33with kissing the fish and drinking the screech,
00:23:35awesome. That's really, I think, beautiful story. And so I'm
00:23:39very happy to come here, experience, you know,
00:23:42the homeliness that everyone's told us about
00:23:47a place known through history for taking in strangers a safe
00:23:52harbor in a storm none greater or larger than September 11th.
00:24:07ABOUT THAT EFFORT. LAURA WAS MENTIONING PETE

00:31:41Do you recall what day of the week it was?
00:31:43Tuesday. And I remember it was a Tuesday.
00:31:49It was a Tuesday, wasn't it?
00:31:52Yeah, the fact that it was a Tuesday
00:31:54does stick with me. The way the sky looks sticks with me was a
00:31:59glorious blue sky Tuesday morning. It was early in the
00:32:02morning when we got the call to get ourselves to New York as
00:32:06soon as possible.
00:32:16My name is Joanna Romal Yodis. I'm a co-host at CBC's The 5th
00:32:21Estate. 25 years ago when 911 happened,
00:32:23I was a pretty new reporter to CBC's national network.
00:32:29We were standing by the lake in Toronto. We were doing a story
00:32:33about the state of the Great Lakes of Ontario. Usually we
00:32:37would start a bit later, but I remember it was around
00:32:418:30, Pretty soon after the camera
00:32:43started rolling on our guest. The beepers were going off,
00:32:47the phones were going off. It was really clear very quickly
00:32:51that the assignment desk at CBC was trying to get in touch with
00:32:55us.
00:32:57Welcome back to the program. We've got some breaking news to
00:33:01tell you about something we're just learning about ourselves
00:33:04here. Apparently a small passenger plane has crashed
00:33:07into one of the World Trade Towers. I was just listening to
00:33:10an interview which was being done by an eyewitness. Not
00:33:13exactly sure how large the plane was. The person thought
00:33:16it was a a commercial jet that actually collided.
00:33:22I'm Adrian or Snow. I'm a host of the National and chief
00:33:26correspondent for CBC News. I was Washington correspondent on
00:33:309/11.
00:33:32My aunt and uncle were visiting from England. We were excited
00:33:40September the 12th, to New York. We were going to
00:33:43go see a play, going to go get the tickets at
00:33:47the Trade Centre. I was getting ready for work and my uncle
00:33:51sort of yelled and he said, 80, a plane has hit the tower.
00:33:56And I was like, oh, that doesn't sound right.
00:34:01And so I said, well, OK, I have to go to work
00:34:04immediately.
00:34:07I was walking very quickly, trying to get a cab
00:34:11that sort of run, walk, shuffle you do when you're in a
00:34:15big hurry. Eventually hailed, the cab got to the office
00:34:19just moments after the second plane hit the tower,
00:34:25and it appeared to back sharply and smash directly,
00:34:29perhaps purposefully, into OHT. My goodness. Oh God,
00:34:33there's another one.
00:34:36OHP My goodness, there's another one.
00:34:42I'm Paul Hunter, a senior correspondent for CBC
00:34:45News in Washington.
00:34:47In September 2001,
00:34:50I was a freshly minted parliamentary reporter for the
00:34:54CBC News Bureau in Ottawa.
00:34:57I got into work in the Ottawa Parliamentary Bureau. At about
00:35:019:10,
00:35:03Chris Goldrich, who is another CBC News
00:35:06reporter in the Bureau at the time, walks up to me and says,
00:35:09Paul, did you hear what happened?
00:35:11I go no, he goes, 2 planes have hit the World
00:35:14Trade Centre.
00:35:16Like what?
00:35:19Like what are you talking about? Then you immediately go to Oh
00:35:23my God, right? Like the people on board,
00:35:26the people in the buildings, the people below.
00:35:31What happened?
00:35:36Come on man.
00:35:42I'm David Coleman. I'm a senior correspondent and host with CBC
00:35:46News.
00:35:48I was living in Regina when 911 happened. I would go to
00:35:51Afghanistan within a few months.
00:35:56That morning when it happened, I was asleep and I got a phone
00:36:02call waking me up telling me TuneIn and I did,
00:36:05and I saw the second plane hit
00:36:09and that was the moment that I realized that we all realized
00:36:14this was no accident.
00:36:27I think I spent maybe 5-6 minutes throwing a few things
00:36:31in our in a bag.
00:36:34And as we were driving to the airport,
00:36:36this is all happening within half an hour. The second plane
00:36:40had hit the airport was shutting down. I remember
00:36:43standing there because people in newsrooms always stand when
00:36:47something happens, saying what, what is this?
00:36:49So we went back to the CBC. People were running around
00:36:53trying to figure out what to do. And then they just said start
00:36:56driving. This is going back to Washington right now. The
00:37:00second front, if you will, of these terrorist attacks. And
00:37:03then came word that the Pentagon had been hit.
00:37:07That Pentagon,
00:37:09and that's when I thought this isn't just America,
00:37:12as symbolic as that is for the military might of America. The
00:37:15fact that the Pentagon had been hit,
00:37:17that this was not just the Twin Towers in New York,
00:37:20but the Pentagon, like, what else is going on here?
00:37:23This is like the planet is under attack. It was like this
00:37:26is I thought the world was ending. The situation continues
00:37:30to unfold before our eyes and a huge fear in the United States
00:37:33right now that it's not over yet. Suddenly there was a
00:37:36realization that there was another plane in the air.
00:37:40So if there's a fourth plane, it's probably also coming for
00:37:43Washington. What is what is the tallest thing that you could
00:37:47hit in Washington? It's probably the Capitol building.
00:37:51And so the decision was Adrian, you and Louie, Louie Deez,
00:37:54our cameraman, you go. The news was coming in
00:37:57through the radio. We didn't have smartphones at the time.
00:38:01We had the radio on the whole time. And most of the time we
00:38:05were driving in silence. And I remember it was being,
00:38:08it was really tense. And as we are running to the capital,
00:38:12it was like being a salmon trying to go upstream.
00:38:16Yeah, everybody back. It was like all
00:38:19of Washington was coming at us
00:38:23because they were thinking the same thing we were,
00:38:26that if there's another plane in the air,
00:38:29it's probably going to be capital authorities on high
00:38:32alert across the United States for any further attacks. I
00:38:35remember when we crossed the border at Buffalo,
00:38:38I remember the customs officer saying, why are you going?
00:38:41And for a second, I think we all thought,
00:38:44are they going to even let us cross the border?
00:38:47And I remember we just said we're we're not. We're not
00:38:50turning back. We just can't. You could see Parliament Hill
00:38:53from my window
00:38:55in the Bureau and there was all kinds of stuff going on because
00:38:59the Canada didn't know what was happening. Or were there more?
00:39:03Were were we a target? And I don't even think we
00:39:07stopped to think like this is probably not a very good idea
00:39:11to run to the capital. But as we were running and trying to
00:39:15get there and sort of looking at the sky,
00:39:18like what is this day? Then we got a call saying that
00:39:22the 4th plane, Flight 93, had crashed
00:39:25into a field in Pennsylvania. And that's happened 4 minutes
00:39:29after we've all watched the South tower collapse.
00:39:37And then another 25 minutes later the north tower collapses,
00:39:41one plane colliding with 1 twin tower 18 minutes later. Oh my
00:39:45God,
00:39:49each one of these things in isolation would have been the
00:39:53most horrific event a reporter might have covered in their
00:39:58entire careers. And there were like 6 of them
00:40:02in just under 2 hours.
00:40:07I just did not know what to do first.
00:40:23And then we got there and it was like unlike anything I've
00:40:26ever seen. But I do remember it did not feel real. It felt like
00:40:31we had just
00:40:32driven into a movie set,
00:40:35surrounded by ashes and mounds and people walking around in in
00:40:40a completely dazed state.
00:40:51I still see the imprint in my mind. It's,
00:40:53it was like the the the remnants of the building almost
00:40:57looked like skeletons because they were they were there,
00:41:00but they weren't. And there was this ash, this thick, thick,
00:41:04thick dust that
00:41:06we now know was all sorts of metal and paper and
00:41:11things that we don't really want to think about. But I
00:41:15remember that scene, walking into it and thinking,
00:41:18Oh my God,
00:41:22my job that day was to
00:41:26tell the story of how the Canadian government was
00:41:29responding to what had happened in New York and Washington and
00:41:33Pennsylvania.
00:41:35And I was a journalist on that day. And that was my story. But
00:41:39I was also somebody who was still trying to process this.
00:41:42And and that's, that's all I wanted to do. I
00:41:45just wanted to watch TV that day. I just wanted to see it
00:41:49again and again and again. And I don't know why
00:41:54I I think it's because we all felt that we had all been
00:41:58attacked
00:42:00in a kind of way. I wanted to grieve. I wanted to empathize,
00:42:07but I also had to do my job. We all had to do our job and we
00:42:11all had to ask questions and we all had to
00:42:15meet with cabinet ministers and the Prime Minister and
00:42:19tell Canadians what their country was doing.
00:42:23Are we safe?
00:42:26Where is this going? What's happening to try to
00:42:29unpack some of this
00:42:32horror show.
00:42:34Some Canadians are already expressing their feelings here
00:42:38at the US Embassy tonight, bringing flowers,
00:42:40cards and poems in a show of sorrow and sympathy for
00:42:44Americans everywhere. The CBC's Adrienne Arseneau joins us with
00:42:48the latest. Adrian
00:42:50Peter, Washington, DC is currently under a state
00:42:53of emergency. And I look at the pictures because I haven't
00:42:57looked at them in 25 years of doing it on camera or a
00:43:01Talkback with Peter. And I look at the look on my face and I am
00:43:06like a piece of stone. I am just completely flat and
00:43:09clinical. And I've been trying to figure out what like what
00:43:13that was because that's not that's not me as a person. But
00:43:18two things come to mind. One I remember
00:43:20being told a long time ago as a reporter,
00:43:23when things are terrible around you,
00:43:25you need to keep it together because if you lose it,
00:43:29the people at home are are are very destabilized. But also,
00:43:33I kind of think we were all in shock. I'm pretty sure that we
00:43:37were just
00:43:39stunned and on some form of This is the most serious day of
00:43:44my life as a reporter and I need to step up
00:43:48and
00:43:51we're not going to get anything wrong and we are not going to
00:43:54sleep. Joanna, what is the latest you can tell
00:43:57us? Well, basic computer just what you
00:43:59said now rescue a firefighters have been digging away at the
00:44:02rubble all day. The fear is that there may be thousands of
00:44:06people trapped beneath the rubble. That scene is still my
00:44:09gosh, it comes right back. And I
00:44:11remember when we were doing this phoner
00:44:14because again, we had cell phones,
00:44:15we didn't have smartphones. We, we didn't even have a live link
00:44:18with the camera. I remember we were sitting in a fire truck
00:44:21because we were trying to find a spot that was relatively
00:44:24quiet because
00:44:26you couldn't really speak with all the noise. And and there
00:44:29was there were cranes, there were there were removing
00:44:32rubble, there was huge tractors. I see
00:44:34them here again.
00:44:36People seemed overwhelmed by the enormity of the task ahead.
00:44:391 firefighter told me he found one injured man earlier today,
00:44:43and he kept repeating. Once I found one man,
00:44:45God knows how many more people are in there. And I remember
00:44:48that the one that would become something that we would hear a
00:44:51lot, people were just coming in and
00:44:53saying, if I could just save one person.
00:44:59Alright, let's take a look.
00:45:02The shockwaves from today's horror travel to Ottawa,
00:45:04putting the national capital on alert. And Prime Minister Craig
00:45:07Crazy. Look at this already, like just
00:45:11heightened. Security was everywhere. Police doubled
00:45:14their numbers on the streets just in case something were to
00:45:17happen here in Ottawa, like there was
00:45:21everywhere else on earth. There was confusion, confusion,
00:45:24I think it's fair to say, in in the offices of power on
00:45:28Parliament Hill. But there was also a determination that they
00:45:32had to do something. So as airspace got shut down,
00:45:35for example, airports across Canada started
00:45:38receiving passenger jets that had crossed that halfway point
00:45:42in Gander, in Halifax, In airports across the country,
00:45:45Canadians reached out and embraced and welcomed and
00:45:48empathized and gave safety and refuge
00:45:51to people who had been traveling to the US on that
00:45:54date. It was a remarkable moment in the history of this
00:45:58country where Canadians demonstrated who Canadians are.
00:46:08We came in last night. Canadian Hans Gerhardt is looking for
00:46:12his son Ralph. We had a cell phone call and he said that
00:46:16something happened at the World Trade Centre. A bomb or plane
00:46:20hit the tower. I'm OK, we're OK. I love you. I call
00:46:24you back later. He hasn't heard from him since Tuesday.
00:46:32Anywhere you turned, everywhere you turned,
00:46:34there was a story. It was almost like overnight
00:46:37there was this eruption of humanity that came up.
00:46:41This was before social media, so people came with copies of
00:46:45photos, portraits that they had blown
00:46:48up, duct tape to put them on like
00:46:50utility poles and walls.
00:46:54I remember thinking this is an incredibly heart wrenching
00:46:59moment
00:47:01and you don't blame a single person for holding on to the
00:47:04hope that somebody might have seen that person wandering
00:47:07somewhere, lost somewhere. But when you think of the futility of the action,
00:47:11now that we know what we know, it makes it even sadder. What's
00:47:14the best way to say it? It just felt like every day you
00:47:17were getting another punch in the gut. Throughout the day,
00:47:20fighter jets have been patrolling the air around
00:47:23Washington, and as we understand it,
00:47:25their orders are quite clear. If a plane enters restricted
00:47:28airspace and cannot be urged out, then it will be shot.
00:47:31Now this is a day that will always be a before and after.
00:47:36And then on that day, in a moment,
00:47:40sitting in my office in Washington,
00:47:43I turned around and I opened my filing cabinet and I just,
00:47:47I grabbed all the files I had in it and I threw them in the
00:47:51garbage. Every story I've been working on,
00:47:53I threw in the garbage
00:47:56and I remember someone saying to me like, what are you doing?
00:48:00And I said, nothing matters anymore.
00:48:02Nothing that we worked on is ever going to see the light of
00:48:06day. This is the new lens through which we're going to
00:48:09have to look at everything from now on. Make no mistake,
00:50:15the United States
00:50:18will hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly
00:50:22acts. In all the panic there were few moments to talk or
00:50:26think of blame, but immediately many wondered
00:50:29if this was the horrific handiwork of Islamic
00:50:32fundamentalist and fugitive Osama bin Laden. Remember that
00:50:36tonight, I think I think Adrian Arsenos
00:50:39piece on September 11th mentioned Osama bin Laden
00:50:43and I remember thinking who
00:50:45al Qaeda, what's that? It's bizarre, like,
00:50:48wait a minute, these are all but but by the
00:50:51very quickly, by the next day, we
00:50:53had a sense of, of
00:50:56where these attacks had originated from. You know,
00:50:59I remember watching Adrian and Paul and Joanna. I certainly
00:51:04remember the
00:51:06the shock of just trying to absorb everything they were,
00:51:10they were telling us everything they were seeing in Afghanistan
00:51:14came up. And
00:51:15it became clear that al Qaeda was behind this attack,
00:51:19that it had had safe haven in Afghanistan,
00:51:22that some of the planning for 9/11 had happened there and
00:51:26that undoubtedly al Qaeda was going to get hit and hit hard
00:51:30by the Americans. And it wasn't long after 911 that in the
00:51:33middle of the night and my uncle knocked on the door and
00:51:37he said, you need to come outside and I
00:51:40want you to listen to something. So we went out onto the balcony
00:51:44and he said it's very faint,
00:51:47but just listen. Can you hear planes?
00:51:50And I could hear planes. And so my my uncle had been a
00:51:55commander on an aircraft carrier for the Royal Navy.
00:51:59And he said that is a sound of an aircraft carrier loading. He
00:52:02said you're going to wake up in the morning and this country's
00:52:05going to war.
00:52:07And he was right. The invasion of Afghanistan started not long
00:52:11after that. We know now that the attack has started both in
00:52:15Kabul and from our reporting in Kandahar,
00:52:18which is the spiritual centre of the Taliban regime.
00:52:22I've had family members in the military and, and have,
00:52:26you know, a better understanding than
00:52:29some people of, of how the military operates
00:52:32and how it deploys. And shortly after 911,
00:52:35NATO met and met into this extraordinary,
00:52:38unthinkable way and invoked for the first time ever Article 5,
00:52:42which says an attack on one is an attack on all. And they
00:52:46looked at the attack of 911 by al Qaeda on the United States
00:52:50and said this is an attack on our entire alliance. And NATO
00:52:55is now in this fight. It was
00:52:57extraordinary tonight in the danger zone on the ground with
00:53:01Canada's combat troops inside Afghanistan. Indian forces have
00:53:05already been taking part in coalition operations in the air
00:53:09and at sea. Now there are regular troops on the ground.
00:53:13Canada is in mourning tonight over a tragic mistake during a
00:53:17war on the other side of the world. There was on April 17th,
00:53:212002, this
00:53:23incident, 4 Canadian soldiers were killed
00:53:26when in two American fighter jets came out of the sky and
00:53:30hit them just outside of the Kandahar Air Base as they were
00:53:34on a training exercise. They'd been deployed to Afghanistan to
00:53:38be part of the American Global War on Terror,
00:53:41and it was the Americans who ended up bombing them. I was
00:53:46eager to.
00:53:47To be part of this big story. And so very shortly after
00:53:51friendly fire, I was on a plane out of Regina,
00:53:55SK and on my way to Kandahar, Afghanistan. And the troops say
00:54:00as awful as the accident was, it is imperative the mission in
00:54:04Afghanistan go on. Canadians are in command of the ground
00:54:09assault dubbed Operation Tory.
00:54:13The dust in the wind make it almost uninhabitable,
00:54:16but this is home to 80, 000 Afghans,
00:54:18those who fled the Taliban, the drought and the bombing
00:54:22raids by coalition forces.
00:54:25These are the people who, you know,
00:54:28had no idea that not what 911 was or that it had happened or
00:54:31that a lot of it had been planned in the country they
00:54:34lived. They were just trying to get on with their lives. And
00:54:37this was,
00:54:39this was the impact of it all. I always look at the kids and I,
00:54:43anytime I look at Afghan kids, I, you know,
00:54:46I think about,
00:54:48you know, well, are they alive?
00:54:55We talk about and we should talk about the 158 Canadian
00:54:59soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan and we should also
00:55:02think about those who survived. When a country makes a decision
00:55:06to to go to war, it makes that decision for
00:55:09generations because people come back from that war changed.
00:55:14At the end of the day, which stays with you. In your
00:55:17heart are the people that are
00:55:19caught in stories that they didn't want to be part of.
00:55:23Canadian Kimmy Shadal struggles not to let go. Honey,
00:55:26her husband is among the missing. She wears his clothes
00:55:29to keep him near. I just feel like I gotta find him and I
00:55:32gotta bring him home one way or another. My gosh. We stay in
00:55:36touch with Kimmy. I still stay in touch with her
00:55:40and she continues to do, you know,
00:55:43events in her husband's name.
00:55:48She's Building Schools in Africa now. But she used to
00:55:51hold triathlons in his name. And we've stayed in touch. And
00:55:55it's, it's, you know,
00:55:57it's strange that I have the this bond with a woman who was
00:56:00a stranger 25 years ago. But there's something in that
00:56:03moment and emotions were so exposed
00:56:06during the time where we are in New York that the connections
00:56:08that we made, even with people that we only
00:56:10met for a few minutes, they just stayed
00:56:15all over Canada. Things just kind of stopped today as
00:56:19Canadians prayed for and thought of those who were
00:56:23killed and the world that has changed.
00:56:30I didn't expect that
00:56:32to tear me up, but it did.
00:56:35Because
00:56:37I went to Parliament Hill
00:56:40with hundreds, thousands who turned out
00:56:45to share grief with, in 2001, our American friends.
00:56:57It was a different time. I think it's fair to say that
00:57:02there's no small degree of trying to process where the
00:57:05relationship between the two countries is. Now,
00:57:07I don't mean to draw politics into this, but how can you not?
00:57:11And it's a very, to look back 25 years ago,
00:57:14um,
00:57:15and to hear some of the rhetoric from some quarters now,
00:57:24it's heartbreaking.
00:57:26Within days, um, the United States changed and
00:57:31has never gone back. It has changed everything about how we
00:57:36travel.
00:57:39It has changed everything about our individual liberties and
00:57:44freedoms when going in and out of the United States. Its
00:57:48security became associated with patriotism,
00:57:51the Islamophobia that happened after 911
00:57:56took root.
00:57:59Al Qaida, Oh my God, there's just the world.
00:58:05I can't think of an area of foreign policy or domestic
00:58:08policy in the United States, and by extension elsewhere in
00:58:12the world that hasn't been changed by 911.
00:58:15Like, I just can't. I just can't think of 1.
