00:01:32As ICE agents inundated the Twin Cities,
00:01:36Get off the street now. Whistles, blue
00:01:39and tear gas billowed across the streets,
00:01:42and the people of Minneapolis clashed with a mammoth
00:01:45immigration enforcement operation.
00:01:51The scenes that played out on these streets,
00:01:54including the killings of U.S. citizens Renee Goode and Alex
00:01:57Pretty, dominated international
00:01:59headlines. Now, roughly nine months later,
00:02:01could that immigration crackdown,
00:02:03Operation Metro Surge, tip the scales in a crucial
00:02:06midterm race here in Minnesota,
00:02:11The snow and the ice long gone, but the fear lingers. Do you
00:02:15see the what happened here, Operation Metro Surge,
00:02:17in any way impacting the midterms?
00:02:20Yeah. I think it's galvanizing people. I think it's also
00:02:23scaring people. So the people that are motivated to do
00:02:26something about it need to step up because some people might be
00:02:30afraid to even come out.
00:02:34There's a crucial seat up for grabs that could determine who
00:02:37has control of the Senate, Donald Trump's Republicans or
00:02:40the Democrats.
00:02:42The Trump administration has tried to limit mail in voting
00:02:46and access state voter registration information,
00:02:49and there are fears it may deploy ICE or other federal
00:02:52agents to the polls.
00:02:55Solid.
00:02:59What, you don't like a whistle?
00:03:03It felt like the world was ending,
00:03:05or it felt like my world was ending. Shale Camo rushed out
00:03:09into the street when ICE officers came for her neighbors.
00:03:13Do you really think you're doing good? That this is, like,
00:03:17good for our community and the country? Oh, you, Oh,
00:03:20you. You can look at me.
00:03:22I've not experienced federal agent intervention in that way,
00:03:26and I never thought it would be so close to my house.
00:03:31She is one of thousands of Minnesotans who signed up for
00:03:35training to observe ICE. She's trained to become what
00:03:39grassroots groups call Democracy Defenders,
00:03:41and they're organizing to make sure people's right to vote is
00:03:46protected. Operation Metro Surge. What role did that play
00:03:52Ever since Metro Surge happened, I've really been focused on how
00:03:57do we defend ourselves from the next threat?
00:04:00It's a really hard conversation about like,
00:04:03what is possible for us when we've already seen state
00:04:07violence take away two members of our community. So, you know,
00:04:11it's also these conversations about like,
00:04:15what is your risk level if that were to be the situation at the
00:04:19polls? You know, if they try and charge and take
00:04:22a ballot box, if they physically stop people
00:04:25from entering the polls.
00:04:27And so these handwritten notes to neighbors. Hi neighbor SE
00:04:30Neighbors for Democracy Defence is a group in the neighborhood
00:04:34working to ensure we can vote safely in the upcoming election,
00:04:38enlisting others to secure the vote. I'm just trying to go
00:04:42around and meet neighbors to kind of talk about like what we
00:04:46might do like if ICE were to show up at the polls or,
00:04:49you know, if like the administration were
00:04:52just do more confusion about, you know,
00:04:55how to vote. Are you guys interested at all being in the
00:04:59network? Great.
00:05:04Alright. Steve Simon is Minnesota's Secretary of State.
00:05:08One of his jobs maintaining the fare and free access to the
00:05:11vote no matter what might happen. Storms, floods,
00:05:14power outages, now a new possibility. I've had
00:05:17this job for a while and never, ever before have I had to
00:05:21seriously think about the prospect that our own federal
00:05:24government will be an instigator of something that
00:05:27could interfere with the freedom to vote. What are the
00:05:31contingency plans that that you have
00:05:33in place if there is some sort of federal overreach?
00:05:36So just a couple of weeks ago, our state attorney general and
00:05:39I met with other attorneys general and secretaries of
00:05:42state in Detroit. Several weeks before that,
00:05:45we met in Milwaukee and had to think about and plan for
00:05:48various scenarios that would include federal interference.
00:05:51Now, I want to make clear this isn't
00:05:53a prediction on our part, but it is a precaution we feel
00:05:56we have to take.
00:05:58And as it turns out, Minnesota could play a pivotal
00:06:01role in the balance of power in Washington with a Senate seat
00:06:05up for grabs. And then you've got Flanagan,
00:06:08who's Larry Jacobs is a political scientist at the
00:06:11University of Minnesota. Minnesota could be the decider.
00:06:15It had been assumed that Minnesota would be safely
00:06:18Democratic in terms of a new senator being elected,
00:06:21but now we're seeing polls that it's a toss up.
00:06:25So that's going to be perhaps the deciding factor in whether
00:06:29the Democrats and Donald Trump maintained control of the US
00:06:33Senate. I will protect what's fair and safe standing with our
00:06:38law enforcement officers. Republican Michelle Tafoya,
00:06:41a well known former NFL reporter,
00:06:43surprisingly neck and neck with Democrat Peggy Flanagan in a
00:06:48seat long considered safe for Democrats. We need to RIP ICE
00:06:52apart and stop them from terrorizing our communities.
00:06:55Both running on platforms that include immigration enforcement,
00:07:00but with very different stances. But just how big of an issue
00:07:03metro surge will be in the minds of voters? Hard to know.
00:07:08We've had a war in Iran. We've got gas prices going through
00:07:12the roof. So the metro surge has faded,
00:07:15I think in the minds of of good number of voters. And he says
00:07:19Democrats in the state have lost ground over other issues.
00:07:23What we've seen is that the Republican criticism of the
00:07:27Democrats in Minnesota for fraud,
00:07:29wasteful spending has really begun to catch up.
00:07:33Many of the conservative leaning immigrant communities
00:07:36who helped propel the Republicans to power in 2024,
00:07:40Latinos and African and Arab voters were caught in the
00:07:43crosshairs of metro surge
00:07:46out the communities that were targeted by ICE. Could that be
00:07:51an X Factor in the Senate race? For example, we may have a very,
00:07:55very close Senate race decided by small percent,
00:07:58and the impact of Donald Trump's metro surge and the
00:08:02immigration policy in general could be just what's needed to
00:08:06tip the race away from the Republicans and towards the
00:08:10Democrats.
00:08:16One of those groups, the Somali community,
00:08:19inherently Somalis are a very religious,
00:08:23very conservative community. And that conservatism drew me
00:08:28to a Republican Party.
00:08:31Get the men who died who Salman Fiki even rallied for the GOP.
00:08:36That's him standing behind Trump in July of 2024.
00:08:42Minnesota has the largest Somali population in the US.
00:08:45President Donald Trump repeatedly targeted and
00:08:48insulted them during metro search. The Somalians should be
00:08:52out of here. We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in
00:08:56garbage, causing some like salmon Fiki
00:08:58to change how they vote. What was the moment for you where
00:09:02you turned away from the Republican Party?
00:09:04Do you remember that moment? The moment it was when Trump
00:09:08was sitting in his office and he called the Somali community
00:09:12garbage. That was the
00:09:14the thing that broke the camel's back. Do you think that
00:09:18the Somali vote could be the the tipping point here for the
00:09:22Democrats if if they don't show up in the numbers they
00:09:26previously have for Republicans? Somalis are typically very
00:09:30politically engaged, and especially if they
00:09:34they feel a threat,
00:09:36then they respond in the elections.
00:09:41As it turns out, some other Minnesotans feel the
00:09:44same way, even if it isn't the dominant issue at hand.
00:09:48Metro surge is certainly one of the factors. But there's,
00:09:52there's a lot of them pretty much every day. Everything you
00:09:55read, you just can't believe what's
00:09:57happening.
00:10:00And yet, despite the steady drum beat of
00:10:03new controversies and outrage, it's clear as Minnesotans still
00:10:07visit the memorials to two of their own killed by federal
00:10:11officers. The ripple effects from metro surge varied and
00:10:15profound, and hard for many to ignore as
00:10:18the state starts to vote.
00:12:22This is an important day for Alberta and for Canada's bold
00:12:25ambition to grow the oil sands is adding urgency to resolve a
00:12:30decades old problem. Tailings ponds we can't allow to go
00:12:33anymore time. They are at capacity. They hold toxic
00:12:37mining water. And now oil sands companies are eager for
00:12:41government approval to treat the fluid and release it back
00:12:45into the river.
00:12:47Environmental racism Controversial,
00:12:50especially for those who live downstream. But for industry,
00:12:54something has to give. These are tailings. Facilities are
00:12:58not meant to be permanent parts of the landscape.
00:13:03All day, every day, every few seconds. Air cannons
00:13:07fire along with scarecrows to keep wildlife from landing.
00:13:11Tailings ponds are toxic and have been ever since the first
00:13:16oil sands mine was built 6 decades ago. The problem isn't
00:13:20going away, but getting worse. The amount
00:13:23of tailings fluid keeps increasing,
00:13:26jumping by 50% over a 10 year period from 2014 to 2024,
00:13:32numbers that will only grow as Alberta develops a new pipeline
00:13:36to the West Coast with Ottawa support and pursues an
00:13:39ambitious growth plan for the oil patch. We are determined to
00:13:43make the most of the opportunities to before us and
00:13:46to deliver on our ambition to double Alberta's oil production.
00:13:51The province and industry are pushing for the same solution,
00:13:54known as treats and release. Essentially,
00:13:57use technology to filter and clean up the water,
00:14:00then pour it back into the Athabasca River.
00:14:05For Lenny Hansen, the Athabasca has always been a
00:14:08part of his life. This river houses a lot of wildlife. For
00:14:1233 years, he worked in the oil sands and
00:14:15now in retirement as a tour guide. I think it's a great
00:14:19idea and
00:14:20I've seen what they do and how they do it and I think it's a
00:14:23it's a really good process.
00:14:27There is so much bitumen in the area, including on riverbanks,
00:14:30that there is always going to naturally be some oil in the
00:14:34river. Treated water for him is no concern. It's going to be
00:14:38cleaner than the water that's here. The treatment release
00:14:42discussion is white hot in this region. It's also a nonstarter,
00:14:46says this may tie leader. He's part of a company that aims to
00:14:50treat tailings ponds. But the water would then be reused,
00:14:53not discharged. Living in the heart of the oil sands,
00:14:57we have
00:14:58had generational trauma associated with water release
00:15:02is not something that
00:15:05my ownership, my leadership and my community
00:15:07could ever support. Tailings have always been a significant
00:15:11concern of ours. If anything, this First Nations chief wants
00:15:15oil sands development to slow down,
00:15:18not speed up. Doubling means doubling the size of tailings
00:15:22ponds today means doubling the amount of water withdrawals
00:15:26means doubling the amount of emissions. And so doubling the
00:15:30problem is what we see. The prospect of the tailings water
00:15:34being treated
00:15:35and release back into the river is a threat, she says,
00:15:38to the quality of life in her community. Tailings hold vast
00:15:42amounts of salt, heavy metals and hydrocarbons,
00:15:45a risk, she says, from human health to aquatic
00:15:48life. It is a situation of environmental racism. We often
00:15:52say, you know, if the if the rivers flew in
00:15:55the opposite direction, you know,
00:15:57to non indigenous communities with things be like this. Her
00:16:01community has been involved in talks with government
00:16:05industry about this problem for many years,
00:16:08but she now feels political pressure to act. It's going to
00:16:11take as long as it takes to to develop strong regulations to
00:16:15protect what matters most to your nation. And now it's like
00:16:18hurry up, get it done. The oil sands is
00:16:21the only industry in the country that's not allowed to
00:16:24release treated water. A complete ban for this one
00:16:27sector. We cannot say to industry we want you to double
00:16:30production and then not give them the tools to be able to do
00:16:34proper treat and release.
00:16:36The Alberta government is ready to move. It needs Ottawa's help
00:16:39though, since waterways fall under
00:16:42federal jurisdiction. We can't allow it to go anymore Time
00:16:45they are at capacity. Companies say they have the technology
00:16:49and expertise to treat the tailings. What they need is
00:16:52regulations so they know what standards have to be reached in
00:16:56order for the water to be released back into the river.
00:16:59Various technologies are being tested and developed,
00:17:02which scientists have said are promising. Various air and
00:17:06water monitoring
00:17:07programs are already in place. If we take these elements
00:17:10together, we think that gives confidence
00:17:13that a treatment technology is effective,
00:17:16environmentally protective and capable of building delivering
00:17:20long term results. We have some experts part of their push is
00:17:24the need to clean up the land and these tailings facilities
00:17:27are not meant to be permanent parts of the landscape in the
00:17:31in the region. We have full intention of actually turning
00:17:35those tailings ponds into reclaimed sites and so
00:17:38that's why we're looking for that treatment release. By the
00:17:41end of the year. The Alberta government plans to lay out
00:17:44exactly what quality standards have to be met for the water to
00:17:48be released. Then it's up to the federal government to adopt
00:17:51those regulations, suggest changes or keep the ban
00:17:54in place. For now, Ottawa is tight lipped. The
00:17:57federal environment minister refused interview requests. The
00:18:01department wouldn't provide any timeline on a decision. The
00:18:04natural resources minister wouldn't provide any specifics
00:18:07either. We will do
00:18:09the work to make sure we have the right regulations with
00:18:12respect to tailing ponds. There's no clear direction for
00:18:15what Ottawa will do as pressure continues to build. The federal
00:18:18government really needs to take things these things seriously.
00:18:22The solution isn't just to keep doing nothing and put our head
00:18:25in the sand. The solution is actually prove out the science
00:18:29and that can be done. We're very innovative people.
00:22:27Did you know that Quebec is the leading cranberry producer in
00:22:30Canada and amongst the most prolific growers in the world?
00:22:33The province is the leading producer of organic cranberries
00:22:37globally and there are several 100 of bogs like these across
00:22:41the province producing cranberries. So let's find out
00:22:44how they're produced and why bugs are so important. The
00:22:47water harvest allows us to take the fruit out without hurting
00:22:51the plant for next year. Also, the cranberry has a very thick
00:22:55skin and if you look at the middle of it
00:22:58you see 4 air pockets. These air pockets are what makes the
00:23:01cranberry buoyant. So without that air it would not float to
00:23:05the top. So you really need that tough skin to to resist
00:23:09the water pressure and the air pockets to allow it to float.
00:23:12We also have installed in here drainage and irrigation systems
00:23:16to keep them from droughts to heat protection and even frost
00:23:20protection. And again it allows us to raise the water to
00:23:23harvest the cranberries. Quebec's cranberry operations
00:23:26are mainly in the Santa de Quebec region
00:23:29and the province produces more than £250 million annually.
00:23:32Harvesting season usually runs from late September to late
00:23:36October, but the process is year round.
00:23:38In the winter, the fields are flooded to
00:23:40protect the buds from the cold. The springtime is where most of
00:23:44the fertilization and monitoring happens. The
00:23:47flowering begins in the summer and once the cranberries turn
00:23:50red, growers can harvest fresh
00:23:52cranberries used for juices, snacks and a dinner staple
00:23:55during the North American holiday season. Really the
00:23:58difference is in our seasons,
00:24:00so we have a relatively cooler summer and a very cold winter
00:24:04that allows the winter part, allows us to fight the pests
00:24:07that you would naturally find in the bogs without using any
00:24:11pesticides. So a lot of the larvas,
00:24:13a lot of the fungi that affect the cranberry quality,
00:24:16are destroyed by the cold during the winter. That's why
00:24:20Quebec organic production is so strong. So when the cranberries
00:24:24leave the bog, they go into this truck and
00:24:26then they're headed to get some cleaning so you can eat them or
00:24:30make your sauce
00:24:32to do whatever you do with cranberries. But how do we get
00:24:35here? So first the bar gets filled
00:24:37with water, the the fruits get detached by
00:24:40the tractor to be then brought to this corner by some booms.
00:24:43And from there it goes through the pump,
00:24:46pre cleaned and to the truck. Schneider's farm is part of an
00:24:49agricultural cooperative operated by Ocean Spray,
00:24:52which partners with local family cranberry farmers in
00:24:56Quebec and elsewhere. In 2025, Quebec's cranberry season had a
00:24:59record year. This year it was a bit of a down year
00:25:03because of hail and a drought in the summer. Next year
00:25:06growers are hoping for a better season. So there are plenty of
00:25:09cranberries for you to use in your juices, your sauces,
00:25:12and simply just for you to eat.
00:25:18From scented candles to lattes, you've probably noticed that
00:25:21shops have gotten a dose of autumn lately. But how much
00:25:25does seasonal changes influence what we buy and what we crave?
00:25:29Fall flavors and comfort. We're really lucky here in
00:25:32Newfoundland that fall is when abundance hits us. We have
00:25:36access to so many local delicious flavors
00:25:40like autumn inspired cocktails, a little bit of spice that
00:25:44warms us from the inside out. I think people crave that kind of
00:25:47cozy and comfort this time of year. It's a good day for
00:25:50pumpkins
00:25:52freshly grown like these vegetables. Most of people like
00:25:57it to eat it raw, or some people make it because,
00:26:00OK, comfort foods and treats this
00:26:03time of the year are a hot commodity. Everyone that's
00:26:07coming through, they're they're cooking a feast
00:26:11for all their loved ones and or they're going somewhere and
00:26:16they wanna contribute a bottle of beet here and there.
00:26:23And shoppers aren't just sitting the table for two
00:26:26legged friends. Also have our moose liver as well. So this is
00:26:30our probably best seller. Morgan Burke says consumers
00:26:34want fall fines for furry friends. I think it's the cozy
00:26:37weather, especially like as the weather
00:26:40starts changing, you know, you want your sweater,
00:26:43you want sweater for your pet, cozy for your furry friend. But
00:26:48the weather starting to get cool. The leaves are starting
00:26:51to fall down, plants like lavender and full
00:26:55bloom art capturing that beauty and the eye of shoppers. Think
00:27:00in the fall of the year people just have a an innate sense of
00:27:06wanting comfort and warmth and that sort of thing. It's really
00:27:11nice to have something like homemade,
00:27:14like Korean kimchi or kittens in a cup. Adam isn't just a
00:27:20change in seasonal colours, but
00:27:22seasonal cravings. They're planning to eat well and be
00:27:26merry. Yeah, and they do look for things
00:27:30that give them joy holding on to these final golden days.
00:27:34After all, you'll need those mittens soon
00:27:37enough. People are starting to think about Christmas, too, so,
00:27:43yeah. Lila Baldwin, CBC News, St. John's.
00:27:58This anthem, a new tradition before high
00:28:00school football games in sunburst, Montana,
00:28:03it's American football with a touch of Canadian winter. These
00:28:07two players and four others on the team are Albertans. We get
00:28:11to enjoy the American high school experience and
00:28:15just have fun with Americans. Different countries,
00:28:18same people. They still go to school in this Alberta town
00:28:21just north of the border. But because it's not big enough for
00:28:25a team of its own, they were given an opportunity
00:28:28to go and play football with another team and it happened to
00:28:31be across the border. Several times a week,
00:28:33students from Milk River, AB travel South to join forces
00:28:37with their teammates in Sunburst. Got my jersey.
00:28:39Forgetting anything ahead of the season's final home game is
00:28:43out of the question for Brennis Vengroff. All I need is just my
00:28:46passport. They still have to cross
00:28:48to a different country before they can play. How many times
00:28:51do you think you've crossed the border
00:28:56100 in the past month, maybe. Jeff Butler says his dad
00:28:58went to high school in Sunburst. Now he's making experiences
00:29:02there too. I got my first touchdown couple games ago so
00:29:05it's been going really good. You know,
00:29:07just based coach agrees. I, I kid you not,
