00:04:22SAINT PIERRE-ET-MIQUELON AND THAT'S HAPPENING TOMORROW. THAT'S HAPPENING TOMORROW. >> Deana: THANKS,
00:04:28A I have no announcement to make about an election today.
00:04:31It's a line BC Premier David EB repeated to reporters,
00:04:34acknowledging the rampant speculation but not calling the
00:04:38snap election many are bracing for. At least not yet. And I
00:04:42don't think it's ever a bad idea to ask British Columbians,
00:04:45especially at a moment like this,
00:04:47about which direction we should be going. EB has already
00:04:51selected a campaign manager and warned Elections BC and his
00:04:55caucus to be election ready. It's been less than two
00:04:58year since his NDP government was reelected with a narrow
00:05:02margin, but the implosion of the
00:05:05opposition has many predicting EB will try to capitalize on
00:05:09their chaos. The exodus of BC Conservative MLA's continues,
00:05:13the party losing 3 more Friday, including former party leader
00:05:17John Rustad. That makes 12 in the past month,
00:05:20amounting to 1/3 of their caucus gone. Many of them are
00:05:24unhappy with their new leader, Carrie Lynn Findlay. I'm not
00:05:29going anywhere,
00:05:30so I'm now calling for her to step down. The premier will
00:05:33impose on British Columbians that costly election 2 years
00:05:37early. That's OK, we're ready. We're ready to go.
00:05:40A message of defiance even as her party spirals deeper into
00:05:44controversy. Ousted members claim the BC Conservative
00:05:48Party's former executive director hired a private
00:05:51investigator to look into a dozen people,
00:05:54including several MLA's. Some who left the Conservative
00:05:57caucus are now sitting as independents, others joining forces
00:06:01under a party called Centre BC. We we're actually have a
00:06:05running tally right now. We know we are at at 8 for sure.
00:06:08Let's face it, it's a you know what show going
00:06:11on with the VC Conservatives right now. The NDP is just
00:06:14looking across the aisle and seeing three sort of centre
00:06:17Conservative or further right Conservative parties and
00:06:20thinking this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to have an
00:06:24election where the opposition splits the vote and we can win
00:06:27a comfortable majority to get us through the next four years.
00:06:31The bigger question is
00:06:33their voters are at. The latest polling reveals half of British
00:06:37Columbians do want a change in government from the current NDP,
00:06:41but 2/3 feel like the BC Conservatives are not ready to
00:06:44govern. And if that's not complicated enough, Tanya,
00:06:47this is all coming at the same time as municipal elections in
00:06:51BC. That's right, a provincial election now would
00:06:55coincide with and threaten to over shadow the civic elections
00:06:58that are happening across BC next month. So municipal
00:07:02leaders are urging the premier
00:07:04not to trigger overlapping and perhaps competing elections.
00:07:07Paul. Alright, Thanks, Tanya. That's Tanya Fletcher in
00:07:10Vancouver tonight.

00:18:24many voters here have different priorities,
00:18:27including the economy amid U.S. trade war. Thurmont paper. So I
00:18:31says everyone is paying for the high cost of tariffs,
00:18:34including here at the grocery store. Says this senior
00:18:39trade war is really bad, says this voter who wants
00:18:42stability amid broad economic anxiety. Support for Quebec
00:18:46independence is at its lowest level in decades. Just 27% of
00:18:51Quebecers say they would vote yes if another referendum was
00:18:55held, according to a recent poll.
00:18:59The party Quebecois campaigning for change No,
00:19:02promising not to hold a referendum until U.S. President
00:19:05Donald Trump is out of office. And of course,
00:19:08the question of the tariffs is part of the election. And our
00:19:12answer is that we have the best team. The nationalist but
00:19:16staunchly federalist CAQ, deeply unpopular in the polls
00:19:20until recently, is using the trade war to
00:19:23attempt a political comeback. Leader Kirsten Frechette
00:19:26arguing Quebeckers needs stability.
00:19:29The Mama now is not the time to launch a referendum,
00:19:33she says. In fact, it's the worst moment in the
00:19:36last 50 years. There's no party right now that is trying to
00:19:39make Quebec independence the question of the ballot. This
00:19:43political scientist says Trump's return to office
00:19:46appears to have caused a sharp drop in support for sovereignty.
00:19:50It's not a decline that suggests that it has been a
00:19:53change of conviction, but rather a change of context.
00:19:56And it's really the context right now that is seen as not
00:20:00ideal to support sovereignty. Talk of sovereignty still
00:20:03continues to be an issue of debate on the campaign trail,
00:20:06with five parties competitive to win seats looking for any
00:20:10edge to sway Quebeckers at the ballot box. Alexander Silverman,
00:20:19The latest round of US tariffs and Canadian counter tariffs
00:20:22are creeping into your grocery store receipts. When will it
00:20:25happen and why? Well, that depends on what you're
00:20:28buying. The immediate consumer impact is pretty
00:20:31straightforward. The Canadian counter tariffs range anywhere
00:20:34from 25 to 50%. If you're buying, say,
00:20:37American milk or cheese, American honey or American
00:20:40makeup, you'll likely be paying more as
00:20:42soon as the tariffed inventory hits the shelves,
00:20:45keeping in mind that retailers still have some under tariff
00:20:48stock to sell first.
00:20:49Further down the road is when you'll start to see the tariffs
00:20:53on raw materials like steel, aluminum and paper start to
00:20:56show up. The consumer side will show up sooner because that's
00:21:00on finished goods. But the long term impact,
00:21:03or medium term I guess, is that as Canadian suppliers
00:21:06buy some of the industrial raw materials like packaging and
00:21:09things of that nature from the US,
00:21:11that'll start to show up in consumer goods over the next
00:21:15several months as those products are made and
00:21:18distributed to Canadian retailers. So what are the
00:21:21major grocers doing? Metro, who own Food Basics,
00:21:23say they haven't seen price
00:21:25increases from suppliers due to the tariffs. Yeah, law blah,
00:21:29who own law, laws, No frills, Shoppers Drug Mart. Several
00:21:32other grocery store banners say they're pushing back on
00:21:35suppliers when they believe that increases aren't justified,
00:21:38but when they are justified. When the terrorists increase
00:21:42the cost for Loblaws, the company says that that is
00:21:45going to reflect on the shelf. Penny for penny. To make things
00:21:48easier, they are marking products with
00:21:50the letter T to identify that it's been impacted by tariffs.
00:21:54They're also keeping up with the Maple Leaf mark to identify
00:21:57products of Canada or things made in Canada. The product of
00:22:00Canada is when 98
00:22:02percent is from Canada. Made in Canada is 51%. And then you
00:22:05have other things like design in Canada. Think you know what,
00:22:08we're possible. If you can choose a product that has some
00:22:12form of Canadian content, then you're helping Canadian.
00:22:15If you want to avoid buying tariff goods at the grocery
00:22:18store. It's pretty simple if you take the time to check the
00:22:21labels. But as we move out of Canadian growing season,
00:22:24that's when things become a little bit more challenging. We
00:22:28can still buy Canadian milk. We can still buy Canadian cheese,
00:22:31beef, pork, frozen vegetables, all of those sorts of things.
00:22:34We can still buy Canadian, but in December and January
00:22:38we're not going to buy domestic broccoli and we're not going to
00:22:41buy domestic Brussels sprouts. So come winter time,
00:22:43you can still avoid tariffs on a lot of goods,
00:22:46but if you want to avoid them entirely,
00:22:48you might have to swap out some of those weekly staples in your
00:22:51grocery basket.
00:22:56If you filled up your car recently,
00:22:58you may have cringed at the price at the pump,
00:23:01but for those who rely on diesel,
00:23:03the picture is a lot more daunting. Of course is bad
00:23:06because it will be increase everything right?
00:23:09That's not a good for the company or for the owner
00:23:12operator. Also because sometime I filled up diesel from outside
00:23:16the Alberta they always prefer to You need to fill up your
00:23:20fuel in the Arboretum. 1 truck driver I spoke to told me a
00:23:24gravel company refused to deliver to his
00:23:26construction site because of diesel prices. Others say while
00:23:30it doesn't impact their personal pockets,
00:23:33they are noticing a significant difference in their daily stop
00:23:36for fuel. For our company, I think right now we are
00:23:39spending double, yeah,
00:23:43all the work is going on. Sometimes we have to stay home
00:23:46just to wait for the loads because of the digit prices.
00:23:49But the price of diesel goes beyond those who fill up at the
00:23:52station. Diesel powers much of the economy, including freight trucks, trains,
00:23:57agriculture and construction. For people who are the backbone
00:24:00of the economy, the trucks, the trains,
00:24:02the jet planes that move all the goods,
00:24:04there's a need for them to continue to do it. And so
00:24:07they'll they'll have to do it. They have to hope they can pass
00:24:10through their higher costs to to their customers.
00:24:13Says this isn't just a Canadian issue either,
00:24:17It's worldwide. The oil issue from the Strait of Hormuz and
00:24:21Middle East is bad and so that's pushing oil prices up.
00:24:25But even more it's the the refineries that are struggling.
00:24:29So the world is short millions of barrels a day of refined
00:24:33products that normally would be available on the market.
00:24:37Madison says even if prices go down as we get more supply,
00:24:42there isn't enough refining capacity
00:24:44to turn it into the things we use. As for the truck drivers I
00:24:48spoke to, they say they are concerned
00:24:51about the potential of diesel going up and also the cost of
00:24:54regular gas getting out of hand. Nicole Healey, CBC News,
00:24:58Edmonton.
00:27:06Canadians love their salmon and imported more than $750 million
00:27:09worth from countries like Norway,
00:27:11much to this grin of Atlantic salmon farmers here who say
00:27:15they could easily produce more for sale here. We have the
00:27:19people, we have the coastline, we have the knowledge and we
00:27:22have the will. Tom Taylor is with the Fish Farmers
00:27:26Association and says the value of imports has doubled since
00:27:292016. But he says there's room to grow and replace imports
00:27:33with local fish. That 46, 000 metric tons of
00:27:36Atlantic salmon that were raised to create the products
00:27:39that were imported into Canada could be raised here and should
00:27:42be raised here.
00:27:45The industry says a big problem is the time it takes to get a
00:27:48project approved here compared to other countries,
00:27:51years compared to six months in Norway. That's a real challenge
00:27:55that governments are going to need to answer. Saint John Bays
00:27:59Cook Aquaculture operates in 16 countries and says that's been
00:28:03their experience as we've grown globally. You know,
00:28:06sometimes it's, it's better to invest and grow
00:28:08in other places in the world, not necessarily here because of
00:28:12the length of time that it takes to actually get new
00:28:15operations established.
00:28:18But those who view farm salmon as a threat to wild salmon are
00:28:22against growing the industry by approving new farming sites.
00:28:25The Atlantic Salmon Federation's Neville Crab says
00:28:28there isn't much room to add new firms in New Brunswick and
00:28:32Nova Scotia. And while Newfoundland has been
00:28:34identified as a growth area, he says companies aren't even
00:28:38fully utilizing their existing operations there. One way to
00:28:41think of our position is stay where you are,
00:28:44use what you have and do what you can. And even within the
00:28:47existing licensed footprint of the industry,
00:28:50there is truly room for expanding production. Cook is
00:28:54already working on making its current sites more productive.
00:28:59There are around a dozen people working on computers at this
00:29:02Cook centre in Blacks Harbor, feeding and monitoring salmon
00:29:06as close as Graham and Anne and as far away as Australia.
00:29:10Innovative practices like this are at the centre of the
00:29:13company's growth plans. We see growth of our existing
00:29:17operations becoming much more productive and being able to
00:29:21harvest fish in a shorter time period. Being able to grow our
00:29:25fish larger in our land based facilities before they're
00:29:29transferred to the ocean cages and then harvesting those fish
00:29:34out for market quicker so we can utilize our existing farms
00:29:38at a higher rate of production and capacity.
00:29:41The industry is also making a renewed push to establish
00:29:44operations in marine protected areas,
00:29:46but that would mean lifting restrictions on medications and
00:29:50other treatments in those areas.
00:29:52The Conservation Council says that could include pesticides
00:29:55to kill sea lice that could harm other marine life,
00:29:58like lobsters.
00:30:00They want to keep those areas off limits for salmon farming
00:30:03purring from industry over the last few years.
00:30:08They they don't want, you know, they've pretty much said
00:30:11explicitly they don't want anywhere taken off the table
00:30:14for aquaculture. They wanna see possibility for expansion
00:30:18wherever technology allows them to go. The industry's critics
00:30:22know that more growth may take place here. They just don't
00:30:25want replacing salmon from places like Norway with salmon
00:30:29raised in Canada to come at the expense of wild salmon and the
00:30:33marine environment, yeah.
00:30:37My grandchildren are a fearful of the future and I'm here as a
00:30:40grandparent to say not good enough. David Swan is with the
00:30:43group Seniors Climate Witness. 15 years ago,
00:30:46he was the leader of the Alberta Liberal Party,
00:30:49and he says that since then, the climate crisis has only
00:30:53gotten worse. And it's so profoundly heartbreaking to see
