00:00:03They they don't want, you know, they've pretty much said
00:00:06explicitly they don't want anywhere taken off the table
00:00:10for aquaculture. They wanna see possibility for expansion
00:00:13wherever technology allows them to go. The industry's critics
00:00:17know that more growth may take place here. They just don't
00:00:20want replacing salmon from places like Norway with salmon
00:00:24raised in Canada to come at the expense of wild salmon and the
00:00:28marine environment, yeah.
00:00:32My grandchildren are a fearful of the future and I'm here as a
00:00:35grandparent to say not good enough. David Swan is with the
00:00:38group Seniors Climate Witness. 15 years ago,
00:00:41he was the leader of the Alberta Liberal Party,
00:00:44and he says that since then, the climate crisis has only
00:00:48gotten worse. And it's so profoundly heartbreaking to see
00:00:51a federal government that has championed the environment do
00:00:55anything but now. Swan was among the hundreds who marched
00:00:59through downtown Ottawa yesterday, waving
00:01:01signs in wearing T-shirts supporting climate action. They
00:01:05pushed back against the federal Liberals recent climate policy,
00:01:08and many came from across the country to do it. We've stopped
00:01:12in about 20 cities. Michael Pilani is a cofounder of
00:01:15Seniors Climate Witness. He says the group collected
00:01:18stories and photos of climate disasters as they caravanned
00:01:22their way to Ottawa by electric vehicle. So we simply want to
00:01:25deliver these photos so that MP's,
00:01:27when they're discussing energy policy and pipelines,
00:01:30they have a vivid face, a picture
00:01:32of how climate change is impacting people across the
00:01:36country. Seniors Climate Witness planned to gather
00:01:39outside the House of Commons on Tuesday to deliver their
00:01:42message to MP's as they head back to Parliament. Cameron,

00:01:50This is Montreal critical care physician Dr. Francois Marquis.
00:01:54And this is a deep fake doctor Francois Marquis. It's an AI
00:01:58generated video of his face and voice used to advertise drugs
00:02:02on social media. And this time I'm selling something that is
00:02:07supposed to fix your joints. I had patients, actual victims,
00:02:11come for me in the ICU wanting to get their money back. And
00:02:15he's not the only prominent Canadian physician being deep
00:02:19faked during the aggressive wave of mandatory COVID vaccination
00:02:23back in the pandemic, online ads used an AI generated
00:02:27version of Canada's former top Dr. Teresa Tam,
00:02:29the Canadian government Department of Health and BC's
00:02:33provincial health officer, Doctor Bonnie Henry. It is
00:02:36still happening on and off. It's very disturbing. The
00:02:39challenge now is AI video keeps getting better and tougher to
00:02:43spot.
00:02:44One study found up to half of individuals couldn't tell the
00:02:48difference between authentic videos and deep fakes. I think
00:02:52that anytime content is being pushed to you and they're
00:02:55selling a product, that should be a major red flag.
00:02:58That's because of strict standards enforced by medical
00:03:02colleges in Canada, which don't allow doctors to
00:03:05advertise regulated drugs or medical devices. The federal
00:03:09government says anyone who may have been a victim of fraud or
00:03:13cyber crime can file a police report
00:03:15or contact the Canadian Anti Fraud Centre. There's a faint
00:03:19Paul and a fake Brad running around TikTok,
00:03:22but doctors who've tried those routes say fake ads are tough
00:03:25to take down. I started complaining to the police and
00:03:29basically I was told that there's nothing they can really
00:03:32do. The bottom line? Be skeptical of any video
00:03:35showing a doctor pedaling health products before you hand
00:03:39over your credit card. Lauren Pelley, CBC News, Toronto.
00:06:18These Grade 7 students in New Brunswick are getting their
00:06:22assignment in what sounds like a whole new language,
00:06:25Artificial intelligence. Your school AI are Autobots. We're
00:06:29gonna continue that. The province is the first in Canada
00:06:32to incorporate AI into curriculum from kindergarten to
00:06:36Grade 12. For the youngest kids, it starts as simple as
00:06:39awareness of technology and examining how it makes them
00:06:43feel. What's it like to have a book read to them through an
00:06:46app rather than by a teacher?
00:06:49Older grades will actually work with the technology in high
00:06:52school. For example, my stepson came home yesterday
00:06:55and told me he had used Microsoft Copilot to choose his
00:06:58independent reading book this term. So he had fed in some
00:07:02information about what he's interested in and that brought
00:07:05back examples of different books he could read. New
00:07:08Brunswick's province wide approach contrast to the rest
00:07:11of Canada where AI policy is more piece meal left up to
00:07:15individual school boards or even teachers. Provincial
00:07:18education ministries and school boards
00:07:20districts divisions have frankly not moved with the
00:07:23urgency that that they need given the extent to which this
00:07:27kind of tsunami of of AI use has has washed into schools.
00:07:31But there are concerns, especially at a time when major
00:07:34AI experts are asking for a slowdown in AI development.
00:07:38Some even issuing dire warnings about the risk AI poses to
00:07:41humanity. And some parents across Canada feel schools
00:07:45should not be the testing ground for it. When students
00:07:48use these tools, they give up more easily. They
00:07:51don't remember much, they don't learn as much. They
00:07:54become reliant on the tools
00:07:56Experts say schools will have to strike a balance,
00:07:59acknowledging the importance of AI while protecting critical
00:08:03thinking as they prepare the kids for this new frontier of
00:08:07learning. Deanna Sunak Johnson, CBC News, Toronto.
00:08:12Government needs to make sure that this is done right.
00:08:14Shortly after an international group ranked Newfoundland and
00:08:18Labrador as third lowest among other provinces in math scores,
00:08:21the government announced that standardized public exams will
00:08:25be making a comeback following a long pause back in 2020.
00:08:29Standardized tests can have a multitude of meanings,
00:08:32but governments recent announcement look more at the
00:08:35provincial evaluation so that they can ensure that, you know,
00:08:38students have certain skills before they graduate.
00:08:41The president of the NTA adds that standardized exams will
00:08:45help students be better equipped and prepped if they
00:08:48choose to pursue paths outside of the province. By measuring
00:08:51where students are provincially you're you're ensuring that
00:08:55they reach certain levels and certain levels of understanding
00:08:58before they leave to high school system. But according to
00:09:02Dale Lamb, proper teacher training is
00:09:04vital to get students to that level. Professional learning
00:09:07for teachers to prepare those students is going to be
00:09:10paramount if they're going to make a difference
00:09:13in how, you know, students reach certain
00:09:15standards and how they reach certain levels. Students are
00:09:18also feeling the pressure because standardized exams are
00:09:21new to them. They're calling for extra support before test
00:09:24day arrives. I think we should have a lot of more like study
00:09:27booklets and stuff like that to give us prepared. I think
00:09:30definitely more like study and like,
00:09:32review because I find I didn't get much of that, like,
00:09:35last year. Yeah, I think the same. And like,
00:09:38I think there should be just more like resources,
00:09:41like free for like those that can't afford it. Lamb also
00:09:44raises his concerns about accessibility. He says the
00:09:47association is hearing a lack of institutional resource
00:09:50teachers. Those teachers are tasked with supporting the
00:09:54students in the rooms. So, you know,
00:09:56does the students that have differing needs, those needs,
00:09:59those needs have to be met. The teachers association says
00:10:02bringing standardized exams back is a good move,
00:10:05but they're keeping a close eye on how the province
00:10:08pulls it out. This is to ensure teachers workloads won't
00:10:11increase and students get the right resources they need,
00:10:15Highlighting that class sizes remains a hurdle towards
00:10:18ensuring that success. Max Bacco, CBC News, St. John's.
00:12:31Teach What time are they score? Matthew Merch's parents are
00:12:34used to cheering for him on the ice. Now they're holding vigil
00:12:39at his side. He's my heart,
00:12:42he's my world.
00:12:44He brings us so much joy.
00:12:46The 21 year old NHL prospect from Hamilton,
00:12:49ON was at an early morning outdoor workout last month with
00:12:53his Arizona State University hockey team when he collapsed.
00:12:57Matthew's parents say he was healthy,
00:12:59but he suffered heat stroke and is now in critical condition.
00:13:04While we were devastated, devastated, heartbroken,
00:13:07shocked. Do you think Matthew will be able to survive what's
00:13:11happened to him?
00:13:13Lawyer. I'm not a doctor, but I don't believe so. Matthew
00:13:17started playing hockey around 5 years old. In 2023. He was
00:13:21drafted by the Saint Louis Blues. His parents talked to
00:13:25him before that last workout. He was excited and ready,
00:13:29ready to go to work. The family's lawyer says it was a
00:13:32military style workout taking place in overwhelming heat and
00:13:37water was withheld from players. Monitoring people to see if
00:13:41they have heat problems or having a cool down tub,
00:13:44someone has heat stroke or heat exhaustion,
00:13:47things like that didn't take place. He wants a third party
00:13:52investigation. Arizona State University says it's doing a
00:13:56review and confirms a third party was involved in the
00:14:00workout. Its campus police also investigating. One hockey
00:14:04development coach says athletes are highly competitive but
00:14:08protections are critical. There can be a better education
00:14:13towards when is too much from
00:14:15on a player standpoint. The team,
00:14:17you know has to also take and and and show the players like
00:14:21hey, you can come to us. The
00:14:22Professional Hockey Players Association going even further,
00:14:26saying athletes shouldn't have to choose between their health
00:14:30and their careers, adding the athlete was failed
00:14:33by the system that should have protected him. As for the Maich
00:14:37family, they wait. Everyone is here and
00:14:39they're not leaving his side.
00:14:42We're just continuing and asking the Lord to give us our
00:14:45our miracle. The family says they're taking it one day at a
00:14:49time and say they're not giving up on Matthew.

00:14:58Kirsten Hankey's family says her death last month was
00:15:01preventable. She started a home with me.
00:15:06We have animals, we have a house,
00:15:09we have all these memories that she doesn't get to experience
00:15:13anymore.
00:15:15Kirby says Hankie, who was his partner,
00:15:18fell at the entrance of their home and broke her ankle. But
00:15:21when she arrived at Royal University Hospital for surgery
00:15:25days later, Kirby says the staff sent her
00:15:27home. We were met with nurses that were dumbfounded as to who
00:15:31we even were.
00:15:34The first two hours of our hospital visit was spent
00:15:37explaining what her injury was,
00:15:41explaining why we're here and what surgery needed to be done.
00:15:45Five days later, Hankie collapsed at home. Her
00:15:48family says a blood clot that had developed in her ankle
00:15:51reached her lungs.
00:15:53She was taken off life support on August 20th and a statement
00:15:57to CBC, the Saskatchewan Health
00:15:59Authority, calls what happened to Hankey a
00:16:01critical incident and it's initiated a formal legislative
00:16:05process to review the incident and disclose the findings to
00:16:08her family. Health Minister Jeremy Cockrell said in a
00:16:12statement that he expects the SHA to thoroughly examine the
00:16:15circumstances surrounding the incident,
00:16:17but her family only found out about that review when CBC
00:16:21shared the SH a statement with them. It shouldn't
00:16:24even be news or an e-mail that that should have to be sent.
00:16:28It's obvious on the
00:16:31in the situation at whole that it should absolutely be
00:16:34reviewed. There's no question it should. A Ministry of Health
00:16:38report shows there were 88 critical incidents in the 2025
00:16:41to 2026 fiscal year. The Saskatchewan NDP says it points
00:16:45to wider issues around surgery wait times. This is
00:16:48are not one off
00:16:52instances.
00:16:54There are people and families and consequences. For now,
00:16:58Hankie's family is left to wait for the review and keep her
00:17:03memory alive. Mavella, CBC News, Saskatoon.
00:17:08Anytime, any place in today's world of
00:17:10online sports betting, gambling has few limits. Teddy
00:17:14Waterwitch knows the cost of it. I can't even put it into
00:17:17figures how much I've lost. He developed a gambling disorder,
00:17:21lost his career as an accountant and nearly his life.
00:17:24At times I was gambling, lost all my money and you know
00:17:27that that led me to to drinking a few years ago,
00:17:30he turned to his local emergency department for help.
00:17:34There's lots of variability and Canadian researchers say
00:17:37there's a troubling
00:17:39increase of people going to ER for gambling disorders. The
00:17:42people who are showing up are probably representing the
00:17:46absolute most severe manifestations of it. Most of
00:17:49them are there for what seemed to be mental health crises.
00:17:53Researchers analyzed 14 years of hospital data from Ontario
00:17:57and found 952 ER visits related to gambling disorders and say
00:18:01after the market opened up to online sports betting,
00:18:05rates jumped by 99%. There's a real warning signal that
00:18:08gambling use is going up, that associated harms arising
00:18:12and that this is not really been part of the calculus or
00:18:16conversation training on sports and most affected boys and men.
00:18:20Experts say the constant marketing of betting sites is
00:18:23tied to harm. You are marketing it directly at them and then
00:18:27you layer on top of that having a phone in your pocket all the
00:18:32time. It enables access almost constantly. In Ontario,
00:18:35there are 2.6 million registered player accounts that
00:18:39gambled $80 billion last year. As more people placed bets,
00:18:42more are also reaching out for help. We also see that there
00:18:46are worsening of anxiety disorder,
00:18:48worsening of school attendance problems there at BET 365.
00:18:51Experts say governments need to tighten restrictions on ads. We
00:18:55do need to separate these sports watching experience from
00:18:58the gambling advertising experience. Researchers say
00:19:01they hope that any provinces or territories wanting to open up
00:19:05the online gambling market put protections in place to Shawna

00:19:19Meet two patients, both in desperate need of hip
00:19:22replacement surgery. The pain is unbelievable,
00:19:25like there was literally killing me.
00:19:28Cheryl Stewart stayed on the public wait list. Neil Payne
00:19:32gave up waiting, taking on more than $20,
00:19:34000 in debt to pay for surgery in Quebec. It's it's a big hit
00:19:38really. To cut delays, Alberta plans to let doctors
00:19:41work in both public hospitals and private clinics,
00:19:44similar to a model in Quebec, while Ontario remains almost
00:19:48entirely public. According to the latest data for hip
00:19:51replacements, about 84% of patients in
00:19:54Ontario get their surgery within the national benchmark
00:19:57time. Alberta falls below the Canadian
00:20:00coverage at 63%. In Quebec, where private pay is most
00:20:03established, it's 54%. Alberta's plan isn't
00:20:06an exact copy of Quebec. Those in favor say if done right,
00:20:10it'll increase the number of surgeries without splitting the
00:20:14workforce. Our private system without guardrails can
00:20:17potentially siphon off surgeons. But you know, with that,
00:20:21with guardrails, it absolutely can work. But
00:20:24some warn expanding private options risks repeating
00:20:28Quebec's mistakes, creating more access
00:20:30challenges. If the surgeon can get four times as much to do
00:20:36surgery
00:20:37private for pay surgery, they're going to prioritize
00:20:41that. That's just human nature. An Australian study found dual
00:20:44practice reduced weights by an average of 0.34,
00:20:47or less than half a day in public hospitals. The main
00:20:51principle? Alberta promises strict rules
00:20:53for dual practice doctors. Critics say proven public
00:20:56solutions can do a better job, including centralized waitlists.
00:21:00Pool patients into one queue for the next available surgeon.

00:21:09and extended our hours Ron hospital operating rooms on
00:21:12evenings and weekends. Payne got his surgery. Stuart waited
00:21:16over 2 years for hers for two tiered system. So you know,
00:21:20you certainly don't feel like you're in the upper tier,
00:21:24that's for sure. As private care expands,
00:21:27patients are asking who gets relief and who gets left
00:21:30waiting. Christine Birax, CBC News, Toronto.
00:23:43The Mission Thrift Store in Charlottetown deals with up to
00:23:47200 donated items a day. The manager has been with the store
00:23:51since it first opened in 2014, and she says she's been seeing
00:23:55more and more come in over the years,
00:23:57especially recently. Storage isn't a problem. We do have
00:24:01some trailers off site that we have had to put things in,
00:24:05so we bring in the oldest trailer because it has the
00:24:08oldest product and then we load it and send it with new product.
00:24:13And we do have a warehouse and we have containers here as well.
00:24:17Schroeder says still, it can be a challenge to deal
00:24:20with the constant influx of donations and not all second
00:24:24hand stores can keep up. Like if they're smaller and they
00:24:27don't have the people to work in donations,
00:24:30then it's really difficult for them to keep taking it and keep
00:24:34putting it out. In Summerside, the Salvation Army Thrift Store
00:24:38has had to pause donations due to an abundance of items. It
00:24:41says the store will stay open to shoppers,
00:24:44but with limited space, it doesn't have the capacity to
00:24:48take in anymore items. One expert says people don't always
00:24:52realize the work that has to be done to get donations from the
00:24:56bin onto store shelves. Somebody needs to, you know,
00:25:00actually sit through the piles of clothes and decide how much
00:25:04they are going to price each items,
00:25:07whether an item is actually and reasonable or not,
00:25:10has a resale value or not.
00:25:13And they also have to decide, OK,
00:25:16if this piece of clothing is not going to be on our shelf,
00:25:20then
00:25:22how do we deal with it? And I think a lot of times we
00:25:25offload that responsibility to the stores without realizing
00:25:30users. Most people have good intentions when donating. But
00:25:34she says being responsible about purchases and consumption
00:25:38patterns is important. Very few people, I think,
00:25:42truly engage with their disposal stage,
00:25:45which is when we don't need this anymore,
00:25:47how are we going to get rid of it?
00:25:49And I think being conscious about this aspect of
00:25:52consumption could really go a long way. The Mission Thrift
00:25:56Store says even though they have lots,
00:25:58it's important that people keep donating when they can. The
00:26:02Summerside Salvation Army says it's thrift store donations
00:26:05will reopen once it deals with the backlog. Gwyneth Egan,

00:26:13When I'm running each day, I take one day at a time. With
00:26:16every grueling step, Terry Fox turned pain into
00:26:20purpose. He set out in 1980 to run across the country his
00:26:24Marathon of Hope, meant to raise money for Cancer
00:26:27Research after losing his leg to the disease. Now,
00:26:31a new documentary based on dozens of reels of previously
00:26:35unseen footage is rocking his brother. Seeing
00:26:38Terry running
00:26:40and hearing him, the audio is what really,
00:26:43really got to me. That was that was gold the first time I saw
00:26:47him run, run, Terry Run, premiering at TIFF,
00:26:50puts the audience on the road with Fox,
00:26:53his best friend Doug and his brother Darrell for the 143 day
00:26:57journey that began in St. John's. When you get to know
00:27:01Terry, you realize that he was, you know, this average student,
00:27:05very much an introvert, an average athlete,
00:27:08but he had so much grit. It aims to show
00:27:11more intimate portrayal of the man many now see as a hero. His
00:27:15determination, playfulness, Terry an incredible sense of
00:27:19humor. But you have to pick your moments and moments of
00:27:23frustration caught on camera. 2 The runs heartbreaking end
00:27:26outside Thunder Bay ON When Fox found out the cancer was back
00:27:30and in his lungs, he had already accepted it and
00:27:34and was thinking of the positive somehow. And that this
00:27:37will only give more meaning to what I've just accomplished.
00:27:42More than $24 million but never got to finish his run. Fox died
00:27:47in 1981 at the age of 22. He inspired me,
00:27:50inspired the world. And he inspired me most about the fact

00:28:19I'm at the Canadian Country Music Awards in Saskatoon,
00:28:22where I'm speaking with artists about the boom in country music
00:28:26popularity. According to stats from Spotify's global,
00:28:30streams of Canadian country music have grown 64% worldwide
00:28:34over the past five years.
00:28:40Breakthrough artist Josh Stumpf has two nominations at the
00:28:43awards. The 23 year old from Prince Albert says he's riding
00:28:47the boom. I think I'd be a fool to say that I'm not writing it.
00:28:50I feel very grateful for that and I think it's a testament to
00:28:54how good the music in Canada here is.
00:28:58Multiple Saskatchewan born stars are taking centre stage
00:29:01with performances. They say this province is home to
00:29:04country music no matter what. Builders also diversity and a
00:29:07lot of people like other things as well. I think the country
00:29:10roots run too deep here in Saskatchewan for it not to be a
00:29:13part of who we are going forward for for forever. I'm so
00:29:16proud to be from Saskatchewan. So I'm really proud to be able
00:29:20to bring all my friends from all over the country and
00:29:23actually all over the world to Saskatoon and to be able to
00:29:26show off not only the the beautiful place
00:29:28where I'm from, but the people of Saskatchewan.
00:29:31Because I think that there is no one more fun and rowdy.
00:29:34There's no bigger country music fans and no one more warm and
00:29:38welcoming. This week more than ever,
00:29:40weather country is cool or not, it seems it still has a place
00:29:44in Saskatchewan. The Canadian Country Music Awards will be
00:29:48handed out at 6:00 PM on Saturday. Alex Kozlowski,
