US in FORCEFUL warning to Beijing over South China Sea as WW3 fears grow

BEIJING'S actions in the South China Sea are "intimidating" and the Pentagon will

"compete vigorously" if needed, US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis has said.

The comments by Mattis, speaking at the annual Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, come at

a time of increased tension between the two nations in the South China Sea.

"China's policy in the South China Sea stands in stark contrast to the openness that our

strategy promotes, it calls into question China's broader goals," said Mattis, who said

he would be travelling to Beijing this month.

"The US will continue to pursue a constructive, results-oriented relationship with China,

cooperation whenever possible will be the name of the game and competing vigorously

where we must," he added.

Last month, China's air force landed bombers on disputed islands and reefs in the South

China Sea as part of a training exercise, triggering concern from Vietnam and the Philippines.

Satellite photographs taken on May 12 showed China appeared to have deployed truck-mounted

surface-to-air missiles or anti-ship cruise missiles at Woody Island in the disputed sea.

"Despite China's claims to the contrary, the placement of these weapon systems is tied

directly to military use for the purposes of intimidation and coercion," Mattis said.

Two US Navy warships sailed near South China Sea islands claimed by China on Sunday.

It came at a particularly sensitive time and just days after the Pentagon withdrew an invitation

to China for a major US-hosted naval drill.

China's state-run Global Times newspaper said in an editorial tension in the South China

Sea was "due to the US continuing to increase its military presence in the region, forcing

China to naturally upgrade its defensive weapons on the islands".

"This in turn gives the U.S. more excuses to exert military pressure, causing regional

tensions to spiral," it said.

Mattis acknowledged that China's militarisation of islands was a reality but warned of further

consequences.

"I believe there are much larger consequences in the future when nations lose the rapport

of their neighbours ... eventually these (actions) do not pay off," Mattis said.

He also reiterated that the Pentagon was committed to working with Taiwan for its defence, comments

that are likely to anger China.

China's hostility towards self-ruled Taiwan has grown since Tsai Ing-wen from the pro-independence

Democratic Progressive Party won presidential elections on the island in 2016.

China claims Taiwan as its own and it is one of its most sensitive issues.

S. Korea's Blue House keeps watchful eye on N. Korea, U.S. pre-summit talks - Duration: 3:05.

Talks between North Korea and the U.S. accelerate in New York, Singapore, and at the DMZ...

making progress toward potentially a successful June summit.

Still, Seoul's top office remains cautious... keeping a watchful eye.

Our chief Cheongwadae correspondent Moon Connyoung provides an in-depth look.

May 27, 2018 "I have hopes that if the North Korea, U.S.

summit talks go smoothly, South Korea, North Korea, and the U.S. can make a declaration

that officially brings an end to hostilities at a trilateral summit afterwards."

By hostilities, South Korean President Moon Jae-in, speaking to the media about his unannounced

face-to-face with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un the day before, was referring to the

Korean War that ceased in 1953 with an armistice, not a peace treaty.

South Korea's Blue House remained cautious on Friday as they kept a watchful eye on how

pre-summit discussions between North Korea and the U.S. unfold to gauge whether a three-way

summit would be plausible in Singapore in two weeks' time.

Wrapping up his two day meeting with Kim Yong-chol, Vice Chairman of North Korea's ruling Workers'

Party Central Committee and one of Kim Jong-un's most trusted aides, U.S. Secretary of State

Pompeo said he was confident talks were moving in the right direction.

"I have been very clear that President Trump and the United States' objective is very consistent

and well-known: the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean

peninsula.

If these talks are successful, it will truly be historic.

It will take bold leadership from Chairman Kim Jong-un.

They'll have to choose a path that is fundamentally different than the one that their country

has proceeded on for decades."

Pompeo, who's met Kim Jong-un a few times in Pyongyang, said he's had many conversations

with the North Koreans about how North Korea and the U.S. can achieve the denuclearization

that the world demands of the North and the security assurances that would be required

for them to allow the U.S. to achieve that.

"Vice Chairman Kim Yong-chol is now planning to travel to Washington to deliver a personal

letter from Chairman Kim Jong-un."

Even so... the U.S. president on Thursday said this when asked about his "expected"

meeting with the North Korean leader.

"Hopefully we'll have a meeting on the 12th.

((That's going along very well, but I want it to be meaningful.

It doesn't mean it gets all done at one meeting.

)) Maybe you have a second or a third, and maybe we'll have none."

So, although there has been positive progress after twists and turns and a whirlwind of

diplomacy this past week... never say never... and it just ain't over until it is over.

Which is why Seoul's top office remains low key... saying the focus now should solely

be on North Korea and the U.S. and their nuclear deal... and that a three-way meeting would

only materialize after a successful Kim, Trump summit and with their support.

Trump says no new U.S. sanctions on North Korea while two sides talking - Duration: 0:30.

Staying with that extraordinary meeting at the White House.

U.S. President Donald Trump revealed that there will be no new U.S. sanctions placed

on North Korea while the two sides are engaged in dialogue.

Speaking to reporters after he saw off Kim Yong-chol at the White House,... Trump also

said he doesn't want to use the term "maximum pressure" anymore to describe U.S. pressure

on North Korea.

He added that he looks forward to the day when he can take the sanctions off Pyongyang.

U.S. Close to Imposing Sanctions on European Companies in Russian Pipeline Project - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 5:09.

U.S. Close to Imposing Sanctions on European Companies in Russian Pipeline Project

The decision would test already fraught relations with Germany, other allies.

The Trump administration is edging closer to imposing sanctions on energy companies

from Germany and other European countries in a bid to scuttle the construction of a

politically contentious Russian gas pipeline across the Baltic, according to three sources

familiar with the issue.

Officials are still looking at other ways to block to project, known as Nord Stream

2, a natural gas pipeline project meant to bring Russian gas into the heart of Europe.

But key figures in the administration now view sanctions as an increasingly likely option.

The measure would add yet more tension to the relationship between the United States

and Germany, where officials are already fuming over President Donald Trump's punitive moves

on trade, his decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal, and other issues.

"They will stop at nothing to block Nord Stream," one of the sources said, referring

to members of the Trump White House.

Successive administrations opposed the pipeline since it was first broached in 2015, fearing

it would undercut Ukraine in its lucrative middle-man position for energy flows between

Russia and Europe.

Congress passed a bill last summer making sanctions possible.

Many Central and Eastern European countries also oppose the project, which they fear will

tighten Moscow's energy stranglehold on Europe by doubling the amount of natural gas

that flows directly from Russia to Germany.

The State Department would not respond directly to the matter but said companies working on

the project were doing so at their own peril.

"We have been clear that firms working in the Russian energy export pipeline sector

are engaging in a line of business that carries sanctions risk," a State Department spokeswoman

said.

Trump has complained that Berlin is spending billions of dollars on the pipeline while

refusing to earmark more money for defense.

(In fact, the cost of the project would be borne by private companies, not public funds.)

He has also criticized Germany repeatedly for its trade practices.

The friction was apparent during German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas's visit to Washington

last week, which included tense exchanges between officials from both sides — over

the Iran nuclear deal, trade, and the Nord Stream project.

National Security Advisor John Bolton and other top U.S. officials see the project as

a threat to the United States and European security and are determined to stop it, the

source said.

"Everything is on the table.

… The administration is taking a whole of government approach to stopping the Nord Stream

project."

In response to a query, a National Security Council spokesman said the administration

wanted to reduce Russian economic leverage over Europe.

"There is consensus across the U.S. government that Nord Stream 2 deepens this dependence

at a time when Russia's activities have become increasingly dangerous and unpredictable,"

the spokesman said.

One of the officials leading the push for sanctions is Wess Mitchell, the assistant

secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs.

He raised the issue repeatedly on a visit to Europe in recent weeks, according to U.S.

diplomats and one former senior U.S. official.

Congress passed strict sanctions legislation on Russia last summer in part to tie Trump's

hands on policy toward the Kremlin.

But until recently the White House had downplayed the need for more economic sanctions over

the pipeline.

"If the White House is serious now about targeting Nord Stream 2, that would be a remarkable

change," said Tim Boersma, an energy expert at Columbia University's Center on Global

Energy Policy.

Boersma suggested that unraveling U.S.-European relations in recent months might account for

the shift in the White House's approach to Russia's big energy project.

The sanctions would affect several companies, including Wintershall Holding and Uniper of

Germany; Engie of France; Royal Dutch Shell, an Anglo-Dutch oil company; and Austria's

OMV.

Nord Stream 2 has secured nearly all the permits it needs for the $11 billion project from

countries around the Baltic.

"Certainly, the only one who can stop Nord Stream 2 now is the United States via sanctions,"

said one European diplomat who works on energy issues.

"If there is no dramatic step from the U.S. government, Nord Stream 2 will be built."

Opposition to Nord Stream has been one of the Trump administration's few consistently

anti-Russia positions since it took office, though opposition has been stronger at the

State Department than in the White House.

Canada Slaps Tariffs On US In Response To Trump - Duration: 15:27.

EARLIER THIS YEAR THERE WERE A FEW ROUNDS BACK AND FORTH OF

PROPOSED TARIFFS BETWEEN THE U.S. AND CHINA, DONALD TRUMP

FINALLY GETTING TO MAKE GOOD ON HIS DECADES LONG VENDETTA

AGAINST CHINA, WHETHER REAL OR PERCEIVED, AND SOME OF THE

TARIFFS WERE PUT INTO PLACE, SOME IT IS IMPLIED THAT THEY

WILL GO INTO EFFECT, WE HAVE PUT TARIFFS ON SOME OF THEIR GOODS,

THEY HAVE DONE THE SAME, IT ALREADY HAS HURT A FEW

INDUSTRIES INCLUDING SOYBEANS IN THE U.S., NOW IT'S GOING EVEN

FURTHER, AND IT ISN'T JUST AGAINST CHINA --

FOR EXAMPLE, I BELIEVE THAT CANADA IS THE SINGLE LARGEST

EXPORTER TO US OF THESE TYPES OF METALS, ABOUT SIX TIMES AS MUCH

AS CHINA IS.

SO IF HE IS STICKING A THUMB IN EYE OF CHINA

HE'S STICKING A WHOLE HANDFUL INTO TRUDEAU'S EYES OVER THAT.

THEY AREN'T HAPPY ABOUT IT, TRUDEAU AND OTHERS ARE

RESPONDING, HERE IS TRUDEAU WITH CANADA'S POSITION.

THESE TARIFFS ARE TOTALLY UNDETECTABLE.

THAT CANADA COULD

BE CONSIDERED A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT TO THE UNITED

STATES IS INCONCEIVABLE.

THESE TARIFFS WILL HARM INDUSTRY AND

WORKERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CANADA/U.S. BORDER.

THESE

TARIFFS ARE AN AFFRONT TO THE LONG-STANDING SECURITY

PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES, AND IN

PARTICULAR AN AFFRONT TO THE THOUSANDS OF CANADIANS WHO HAVE

FOUGHT AND DIED ALONGSIDE THEIR AMERICAN BROTHERS IN ARMS.

I'VE

BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT MY INTERACTIONS WITH PRESIDENT

TRUMP HAVE BEEN CLEAR AND FIRM, WE HAVE ALWAYS, AND INDEED HE

HAS ALWAYS, UNDERSTOOD THAT I WILL COME AND DO, STAND UP FOR

CANADIAN INTERESTS AND CANADIAN -- CANADIAN WORKERS.

THIS DECISION BY THE U.S. ADMINISTRATION WILL HURT

CANADIANS, IT WILL HURT AMERICANS, AND WE REGRET THAT

DEEPLY.

OF COURSE THE TARIFFS AGAINST THEM, THAT IS TROUBLE FOR

CANADA, BUT IT TURNS OUT THERE IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING THESE

OTHER COUNTRIES CAN DO IN RESPONSE.

IT'S NEVER BEEN TRIED

BEFORE -- THEY CAN SET UP TARIFFS AGAINST US.

AND IT LOOKS

LIKE THEY ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO DO THAT.

HERE IS THE MINISTER OF

FOREIGN AFFAIRS TALKING ABOUT CANADA'S LIKELY COUNTER ACTIONS.

WE ARE IMPOSING DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR TARIFFS FOR EVERY DOLLAR

LEVIED AGAINST CANADIANS BY THE U.S. WE ARE TODAY BEGINNING A 15

DAY CONSULTATION PERIOD WITH CANADIANS SO THAT THEY MAY

EXPRESS THEIR SUPPORT FOR OR CONCERNS ABOUT THE PROPOSED

COUNTERMEASURES AND THE LISTS OF GOODS.

THIS IS $16.6 BILLION OF

RETALIATION.

THIS IS THE STRONGEST TRADE ACTION CANADA

HAS TAKEN IN THE POSTWAR ERA.

IF YOU'VE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION YOU CAN PROBABLY

UNDERSTAND OR PREDICT WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT, TRUMP WILL GET

PISSED OFF AT WHAT THEY DID, ADD SOME NEW TARIFFS, THEY WILL FEEL

OBLIGATED TO DO THE SAME, WE'VE SEEN THIS PLAY OUT BEFORE, AND I

WANT TO CONTEXTUALIZE THESE COUNTER ACTIONS A LITTLE BECAUSE

SAYING WE ARE GOOD TO PUT TARIFFS ON STEEL AND ALUMINUM,

FOREMOST REGULAR PEOPLE THAT DOESN'T REALLY MEAN ANYTHING, IT

WILL AFFECT YOU, YOU DON'T BUY STEEL BEAMS BUT ALUMINUM GOES

INTO THE CARS YOU BUY, CANS YOU PURCHASE, ALL SORTS OF

APPLIANCES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT THE E.U. IS ALSO RESPONDING,

THE ECONOMIC REGULATORY COMMISSION MET AND HAS AN

EIGHT-PAGE LIST OF THINGS THEY WILL THEN BE PUTTING TARIFFS ON

THAT INCLUDES --

ANY NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PRODUCTS, WHICH MEANS THAT IF

YOU ARE LIVING IN THE RUST BELT YOU MIGHT SAY LOOK AT TRUMP, HE

IS STANDING UP FOR US, STEEL IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE

EXPENSIVE TO EXPORT TO US -- AND THEN THE PRODUCTS THAT YOU MAKE,

WHEN YOU TRY TO SELL THEM ABROAD, AS WE DO AS A COUNTRY,

YOU WILL NOW SELL LESS OF THEM, THERE WILL BE LESS DEMAND FOR

AMERICAN GOODS BECAUSE OF THESE OBVIOUS REACTIONS FROM THE

E.U., CANADA, MEXICO, AND RELATED COUNTRIES.

SO CHINA IS COMING NEXT, AND THIS IS ABOUT 12 TO $16 BILLION

AS THE EXPLAINED FROM CANADA RETALIATING, THE CHINESE ARE

TALKING ABOUT $200 BILLION, THAT WE WOULD DO TO THEM AND THEY

WOULD DO TO US, AND RETALIATION.

BUT I WANT TO STAY ON CANADA FOR

ONE SECOND BECAUSE TRUMP TWEETED OUT THEY MUST OPEN THEIR MARKETS

AND TAKE DOWN THEIR TRADE BARRIERS, THERE REPORT A REALLY

HIGH SURPLUS ON TRADE WITH US.

AND OF COURSE AS USUAL THAT'S

NOT TRUE.

YOU WOULD THINK HE WOULD ACCIDENTALLY GET SOME

THINGS RIGHT.

AND ON THE ISSUE OF THE TRADE SURPLUS, WE HAVE A

TRADE DEFICIT WITH MOST EVERYONE SO IT'S LIKE SHOOTING FISH IN A

BARREL.

THE ONE COUNTRY WE DON'T HAVE A DEFICIT WITH HIS CANADA,

WE ACTUALLY HAVE A TRADE SURPLUS WITH CANADA OF $12.5 BILLION,

AND HE GOT THE ONE COUNTRY WRONG.

BUT IN AN EARLIER

INTERACTION HE BRAGGED ABOUT, TRUDEAU CAME IN HERE AND SAID

THEY HAVE A SURPLUS WITH US -- THAT WE HAVE A SURPLUS WITH

THEM, AND I MADE IT UP THAT WE DON'T, I TOLD HIM WE HAVE A

DEFICIT, I MADE IT UP.

WHY ARE YOU BRAGGING ABOUT THAT?

WHAT A

WEIRDO YOU ARE, WHAT A STRANGE MAN YOU ARE. AND WHAT IS THE

POINT OF THAT STORY, WHAT DOES IT PROVE OTHER THAN THE FACT

THAT YOU ARE A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR?

AND YOU KNOW THEY COULD

JUST LOOK IT UP, RIGHT?

YOU KNOW THEY AREN'T JUST GOING TO TAKE

YOUR WORD FOR IT AND BE LIKE, OKAY, I GUESS THE U.S. HAS A

DEFICIT, FINE, YOU WIN.

BECAUSE HE'S USED TO MAKING THESE

BACKROOM DEALS, OH, YEAH, I'LL GIVE YOU THAT IF YOU GIVE ME

THIS, AND THEN YOU'LL ABOUT IT AND THE GUY DOESN'T FIND OUT --

YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT, THEY ARE GOING TO FIND OUT!

BUT I'M SUPER

CURIOUS WHAT YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT THE TRADE OVERALL, AND

SOME OF THESE SANCTIONS THAT ARE BEING -- NOT SANCTIONS BUT

OBVIOUSLY TARIFFS THAT ARE BEING PUT INTO PLACE.

OBVIOUSLY THIS IS ALL RIDICULOUS, BUT WHAT IS A SHAME

IS THAT IT ALSO DISTRACTS FROM THE MEDIUM AND LONG-TERM ISSUE,

AND THAT IS OUR TRADE AGREEMENTS ARE BROKEN.

THE FIX ISN'T

IMPOSING TARIFFS, THE FIX IS NEGOTIATING ON BEHALF OF WORKERS

RIGHTS SO THERE IS RECIPROCITY, BECAUSE OUR WORKERS ARE GETTING

THE SHORT END OF THE STICK RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE WE ARE TRADING WITH

COUNTRIES THAT ALLOW IN MANY CASES SLAVE LABOR, THAT DON'T

HAVE APPROPRIATE HUMAN RIGHTS ENFORCEMENT IN LABOR PRACTICES,

SO OUR WORKERS ARE AT A DISADVANTAGE.

WHAT WE OUGHT TO

BE DOING WITH OUR POWER AROUND THE WORLD IS NOT IMPOSING CRAZY

TARIFFS THAT LEAD TO WAR, BUT RATHER ADVOCATING FOR MORE HUMAN

RIGHTS, FOR MORE WORKERS' RIGHTS, SO THAT IF YOU WANT TO

ENTER INTO A TRADE AGREEMENT WITH THE UNITED STATES YOU HAVE

TO CALL YOUR WORKERS THE RIGHTS THAT OUR WORKERS HAVE SO THERE

IS AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD.

IN THIS SITUATION, IF YOU DRAW IT

UP OVER A LONG TIME, IS IN PART OWNED BY THE CORPORATE

DEMOCRATS.

THE UNIVERSE HATES A VACUUM, AND OVER THE LAST FEW

YEARS THAT HASN'T BEEN A COUNTER TO THE UNFETTERED ENTHUSIASM FOR

GLOBAL TRADE.

DEMOCRATS HAVE SAID NO HARD NEGOTIATING IN

TRADE DEALS, WHICH HAS SOLD US DOWN THE RIVER.

SO OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS DEMOCRATS IS TO ADVANCE A

PROGRESSIVE TRADE AGENDA BASED ON EQUALIZING WORKER RIGHTS

AND HUMAN RIGHTS AROUND THE WORLD, AND MAYBE THIS IS A

CHANCE WHILE PEOPLE ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE QUESTION

OF TRADE WHERE WE CAN START RAISING THAT ISSUE.

I JUST WANT TO SAY HOW PROPHETIC THAT SOUTH PARK MOVIE

WAS, BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THAT WAR WITH CANADA WITH

ERIC CARTMAN AS PRESIDENT.

AND IT MAKES NO SENSE, BECAUSE MOST

OF THE THINGS TRUMP DOES MAKE NO SENSE EXCEPT TO HIM, SO I FEEL

LIKE THIS IS A SOCIAL AND PERSONALITY PATHOLOGY THAT

HAPPENING WHERE HE WANTS TO ISOLATE HIMSELF FROM EVERYONE

AND EVERYTHING.

OBVIOUSLY WE NEED INTERNATIONAL SOLUTIONS TO

INTERNATIONAL PROBLEMS, ONE OF THE THINGS THIS HURTS THE MOST

IS THE UNITED STATES SOLAR INDUSTRY WHICH IS ALREADY A 30%

TARIFF ON SOLAR PANELS, WE NEED CHINESE SOLAR PANELS TO SOLVE

THE GLOBAL PROBLEM OF CLIMATE CHANGE, AND OF COURSE TRUMP HAS

UNILATERALLY WITHDRAWN US FROM THE PARIS ACCORDS AS WELL.

I

THINK HE LIKES TO ACT ON HIS OWN EVEN IF IT IS IN NO ONE'S

INTERESTS, JUST TO MAKE TROUBLE.

AND WHAT IS UNFORTUNATE THIS

WEEK IS THAT IT MAKES JUSTIN BIEBER -- I MEAN JUSTIN TRUDEAU

-- LOOK GOOD AT A TIME WHEN HE JUST NATIONALIZED THE CANADIAN

TAR SANDS PIPELINES AND BECAME AN OIL TYCOON, AND SHOULDN'T

LOOK GOOD ABOUT ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.

THE WHOLE INTERNATIONAL

COMMUNITY SHOULD BE COMING TOGETHER TO ROUNDLY CONDEMN

JUSTIN TRUDEAU'S ACTION AGAINST PIPELINE ACTIVISTS, AGAINST THE

ENVIRONMENT, AGAINST FIRST NATIONS IN CANADA THAT THOSE

PIPELINES ARE GOING TO RUN THROUGH THEIR TERRITORIES, AND

NOBODY WANTS THAT EXCEPT FOR THE OIL INDUSTRY.

SO RIGHT NOW IT'S

A MASSIVE DISTRACTION FROM SOMETHING THAT JUSTIN TRUDEAU

DID THAT IS REALLY HORRIBLE.

I WANT EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE THINGS

ARE NON-BINARY, LIKE EITHER YOU SAY YES TO THE CORPORATE TRADE

DEALS OR YOU SAY LET'S DO A TRADE WAR.

THOSE AREN'T YOUR

ONLY TWO OPTIONS, AND IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IF THE PRESIDENT IS

INTELLIGENT OR NOT, OR CARES ABOUT YOUR INTERESTS ARE NOT.

I

THINK JOE IS EXACTLY RIGHT, THERE IS A WAY TO NEGOTIATE

THESE DEALS THAT IS BETTER FOR YOU GUYS.

SO WHEN TRUMP SAID

THAT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL IT MADE SENSE, AND IT APPEALED TO

PEOPLE BECAUSE THEIR WAGES ARE SO LOW AND THEY SAW THEIR JOBS

BEING SHIPPED OUT.

I ALWAYS GO BACK TO NICK SMITH, HE'S THE GUY

WE INTERVIEWED, LOCAL ORGANIZER, COMES FROM A COAL MINING FAMILY

IN WEST VIRGINIA, STARTS THE INTERVIEW DURING THE 2016

CAMPAIGN BY SAYING I AIN'T NOTHING BUT A WHITE TRASH

HILLBILLY FROM THE HOLLER BUT HERE'S WHAT I KNOW.

HE SAYS AT

LEAST TRUMP HAD THE DECENCY TO LIE TO US, THE CORPORATE

DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG THERE IS NO HOPE FOR YOU,

IT'S ALL STATUS QUO, WE ARE GIVING EVERYTHING TO THE

CORPORATIONS -- AND BY THE WAY, DON'T GET ME WRONG, CORPORATE

REPUBLICANS FULLY AGREE -- SO THIS IS THE ONE ISSUE, NOT ON

RACISM, NOT ON ANYTHING ELSE, THE ONE ISSUE THEY STAND UP TO

TRUMP ON.

THEY SAY WAIT A MINUTE, MY CORPORATE DONORS ALSO

WANT UNFETTERED TRADE, THAT IS TRADE DEALS ORGANIZED AND

WRITTEN BY CORPORATIONS, BECAUSE THAT IS THE DONORS FOR CORPORATE

REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS.

SO IF YOU ARE ANGRY AT THIS TALISMAN

YOU ARE RIGHT, UNFORTUNATELY WE WENT THE WRONG DIRECTION TO TAKE

OUT THAT ANGER BECAUSE NOW YOU WON'T GET ANY HELP, YOUR

PRODUCTS WILL BE MORE EXPENSIVE, AND YOU AREN'T GOING TO GET YOUR

JOBS BACK, AND WE ARE GOING TO START A TRADE WAR.

INSTEAD OF

SAYING HEY, INSTEAD OF THE CORPORATIONS WRITING THOSE

DEALS, WHY DON'T THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA AND

THE EUROPEAN UNION RIGHT THOSE DEALS WHERE WE ACTUALLY CARE

ABOUT EACH OTHER'S WORKERS AND LIFT UP THOSE STANDARDS TOGETHER

INSTEAD OF FIGHTING EACH OTHER SENSELESSLY AND DRIVING UP

PRICES AND LOSING JOBS.

WOULDN'T IT BE AMAZING IF AT THE SAME TIME THAT WE ARE

HELPING TO USE THE COMPARISON BETWEEN OUR WORKERS AND WORKERS

IN VIETNAM OR CHINA OR WHEREVER TO RAISE THEM UP TO OUR LEVEL,

IF THE E.U.

COULD ALSO ELBOW US A LITTLE BIT TO GET OUR WORKERS RIGHTS

UP TO THEIRS.

EVENTUALLY THE VIETNAMESE WILL BE LIKE, YOU GUYS HAVE TO HELP

YOUR WORKERS.

UNFORTUNATELY WE MIGHT GET TO THAT POINT.

THERE'S A BIGGER ISSUE HERE THAT IS FASCINATING, BECAUSE

WHEN YOU DO THIS, IT'S CLEAR THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A

FREE MARKET.

YOU KNOW, ALL THESE REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES

FOR YEARS, OH, THE FREE MARKET, THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO HAVE --

NO, OUR ECONOMY IS CREATED, IT'S CREATED BY OUR TAX POLICIES,

IT'S CREATED BY THE WAYS THAT WE ENCOURAGE CORPORATIONS TO JUST

BASICALLY EXTRACT THINGS OUT OF THE EARTH AND THEN RAPE AND

PILLAGE THE ENVIRONMENT AND DO THAT WITHOUT ACTUALLY ANY KIND

OF NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON THE BOTTOM LINE.

BUT WHAT THIS SHOWS

IS THAT YOU COULD USE GOVERNMENT POLICY TO ACTUALLY CREATE BETTER

THINGS FOR WORKING PEOPLE, BETTER THINGS FOR POOR PEOPLE,

BETTER THINGS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

INSTEAD THIS IS A

WEIRD LASHING OUT THAT TRUMP ALWAYS DOES, BUT IT POINTS OUT

THE FACT THAT WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE, ROBERT REICH AND OTHERS

HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR MANY YEARS, THERE IS NO FREE MARKET.

OUR

ECONOMIES ARE RIGGED, AND THEY ARE RIGGED TO BENEFIT THE

WEALTHIEST AMONG US, AND WE COULD IN FACT INTERVENE IN THE

WAY THAT CAPITALISM WORKS AND DO IT IN ALL SORTS OF WAYS THAT

WOULD HELP PEOPLE, BUT WE DO IT IN WAYS THAT HURT MOST PEOPLE.

IN THIS CASE WITH TRUMP.

BUT IT SHOWS THAT THE PHILOSOPHY OF

NEVER TOUCH THE FREE MARKET IS A COMPLETE LIE, AND HAS BEEN FOR

DECADES.

WHAT IS WORSE IS THAT THE ONLY TIME DEMOCRATS AND

REPUBLICANS WANT TO TOUCH THE FREE MARKETS ARE WHEN COMPANIES

NEED HELP.

BUT WHEN WORKERS NEED HELP, FORGET IT.

OR JUST PEOPLE.

THIS ISN'T GOING TO HURT JUST POOR PEOPLE

IN AMERICA, IT WILL HURT POOR PEOPLE IN THOSE COUNTRIES WHEN

ALUMINUM CAN PRICES GO UP AND THE BASIC PRICES OF ALL THESE

GOODS GO UP.

FOR THE POOREST PEOPLE IN AMERICA IT WILL BE AN

EXTRA TAX ON THOSE FOLKS, BECAUSE FREE, UNFETTERED

CAPITALISM ALSO HURTS PEOPLE IN OTHER WAYS.

OF COURSE THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS UNFETTERED CAPITALISM,

ADAM SMITH TALKED ABOUT HOW YOU NEED REGULATION OF COURSE, YOU

CAN'T HAVE MONOPOLIES OTHERWISE THAT WOULD COME INTO EFFECT

RIGHT AWAY.

ANYONE WHO HAS EVER STUDIED ECONOMIC SYSTEMS KNOWS

THAT, AND IT'S JUST MARKETING BY THEM.

IN FACT WE DON'T HAVE

UNFETTERED CAPITALISM OR ANYWHERE NEAR IT RIGHT NOW

PARTLY BECAUSE WE HAVE GIGANTIC CRONY CAPITALISM, SO THE TOP 200

CORPORATE GIVERS INTO POLITICS RECEIVE BACK $4.4 TRILLION IN

SUBSIDIES.

WHERE IS YOUR FREE MARKETS?

THERE ARE NO FREE

MARKETS, THEY BUY OUR POLITICIANS THROUGH PRIVATE

FINANCING OF ELECTIONS AND THEN THEY HAVE CRONY CAPITALISM WHERE

THE WEALTHY GET MORE WEALTHY AND THE POWERFUL GET MORE POWERFUL

AND THE REST OF US SUFFER, AND THEN THEY BRING IN A CLOWN FROM

A REALITY SHOW TO DISTRACT YOU AND DO SOME JUGGLING AND SAY I

STARTED A TRADE WAR, THAT SOUNDS TOUGH, IT WON'T HELP YOU AT ALL,

BUT ARE YOU DISTRACTED ENOUGH?

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW.

"We don't have good trade deals."

"Nafta is the worst trade deal maybe ever signed."

"Do we make any good deals anymore?"

"Let me be clear.

These tariffs are totally unacceptable.

The American administration has made a decision today

that we deplore and obviously is

going to lead to retaliatory measures, as it must."

"There were different scenarios,

but obviously today, unfortunately, the worst case

scenario was presented,

which is imposing tariffs on your allies."

"I regret the protectionist decision of the U.S. administration

on steel and aluminum.

I'm hoping that it will be possible to avoid

an escalation, because we don't want to have a trade war.

We want to have a real dialogue with the U.S.

But again, I regret such a decision."

Trump's new tariffs rattle close U.S. allies - Duration: 2:47.

The Trump administration continues to have up and down relations with its biggest trading

partner, China, but now it's taken things one major step further,... slapping duties

even on America's closest allies.

The U.S. maybe on the brink of a full-blown trade war with the world.

Won Jung-hwan has the latest.

It looks like the U.S. will soon have a trade war on its hands.

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross says a 25-pecent tariff on steel imports and a ten-percent

tariff on aluminum will be imposed on the EU, Canada and Mexico starting at midnight,

Friday, Eastern Standard Time.

Mexico condemned the move immediately, vowing to retaliate with tariffs on 3 billion U.S.

dollars worth of U.S. imports,… including agricultural goods such as corn.

But Ross is saying he's not too worried.

" Well even if the EU does retaliate and even if some others do, it still will remain unlikely

to be as much as one percent on our economy."

Canada and several European countries have responded angrily.

The President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Junker, called the U.S. move unjustified

and said the EU had no choice but to hit back with tariffs on three-point-three billion

dollars' worth of U.S. goods and file a case at the World Trade Organization.

An expert says the rationale for the tarrifs is based on issues in North America.

"Most direct reason for this particular increase in tariffs on Canada, Mexico and EU seems

to be NAFTA negotiation is not going in the direction United States wanted,... and in

addition, America has mid-term election coming up in November and the Republicans seems to

be falling behind so policy towards protectionism maybe design to appeal to people who voted

for Trump in the past."

The tariff announcement has sent a chill through financial markets around the world.

But the expert says South Korea's economy won't be affected much.

"As long as the trade war is limited to steel and aluminum retaliation, for just two industries,..

Korea should be able to weather this particular phase of the trade war without too much problem."

Europe, along with Canada and Mexico, had been granted a temporary waiver back in March.

But Thursday's decision raises concerns that President Trump could further expand the tariffs

to other industries and other allies, including South Korea.

THE U.S. TRIED TO DETONATE AN ATOM BOMB ON THE MOON � BUT THERE WAS AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL

RESPONSE� ARJUN WALIA.

In the 1950s, Colonel Ross Dedrickson was responsible for maintaining the inventory

of the nuclear weapon stockpile for the AEC, and for accompanying security teams checking

out the security of the weapons, among many other duties.

As his obituary states:

He was assigned to the US Atomic Energy Commission.

A long service with the Energy Commission between 1950-1958 included, contract administration

duties at Nevada test sites, Pacific Nuclear Test Area west of Hawaii, nuclear weapon manufacturing

and quality assurance in Albuquerque, and inspection of nuclear and non-nuclear facilities

throughout the country.

He served with the 5th Air Force in Japan and later as a ranking Colonel, Officer in

Charge of the Pacific Unified Command (TM)s alternate �command and control center�

in Hawaii.

In 1962, he was transferred and served as Deputy for Material for the 832 Air Division

at Canon Air Force Base, Clovis, New Mexico.

He retired from the USAF in 1964.

He is one of hundreds of military whistleblowers with verified backgrounds to have been brought

forth by Dr. Steven Greer�s Disclosure Project.

His testimony about UFOs � specifically about UFOs and nuclear weapons � can be

corroborated by a wealth of information and evidence that�s now available within the

public domain.

(To read more about a few of these encounters, click here.)

Many of these whistleblowers have made multiple appearances at the National Press Club in

an effort to get this information out to the world, with the most recent example being

the Citizens Hearing on Disclosure, which took place a few years ago.

With such a professional background, working in the places he has worked, it�s safe to

infer he was privy to sensitive information on a number of subjects.

This isn�t just a random high-ranking military whistleblower talking about a random issue.

There are many whistleblowers and documents clearly outlining a decades-long relationship

between UFOs and nuclear storage facilities and test sites.

A number of these incidents have visual confirmation, along with air and ground radar confirmation

as well.

In the interview below, Dedrickson explains how the American government tried to detonate

a nuclear weapon on the moon, but were prevented from doing so.

As far as the mainstream goes, it�s public knowledge that a declassified report by the

Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center from June 1959 shows just how seriously they considered

the plan, called Project A119.

In general, they wanted to investigate the capability of weapons in space, as well as

gain further insight into the space environment and the detonation of nuclear devices within

it.

As far as the information below, that probably goes deeper into the Black Budget.

It�s interesting how the world is so into television shows like Stranger Things, which

depicts the Department of Energy and their involvement with otherworldly creatures and

other strange facts, yet so willing to ignore a high ranking American Colonel who held very

sensitive positions at the Department of Energy for years, at a time when all of this nuclear

development was really hot.

He is the real deal and it�s interesting to ponder what he might really know.

�I also learned about incidents involving nuclear weapons, and among these incidents

were a couple of nuclear weapons sent into space were destroyed by the extraterrestrials.

. . . At the very end of the 70s and the early 80s, we attempted to put a nuclear weapon

on the moon and explode it for scientific measurements and other things, which was not

acceptable to the extraterrestrials.

They destroyed the weapon before it got to the moon.�

Loud Dobbs & Sebastian Gorka:US-NOKO summit on JUNE 12 - Duration: 10:55.

good evening everybody our top stories President Trump says the Singapore

summit is on after hosting North Korea's top diplomat at the White House today

President Trump says real progress is being made but the president cautions

everyone that that June 12th Singapore summit could be only the first of what

will be many meetings to be held between the two leaders they want it we think

it's important and I think we would be making a big mistake if we didn't have

it I think we're going to have a relationship and it will start on June

12 we'll take up the president's efforts to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula and

to bring North Korea into the global community of nations dr. Sebastian Gorka

among our guests here tonight also tonight how about that Trump economy

just keeps getting stronger and stronger the latest job numbers show unemployment

at an 18-year low and that has dims and rhinos running scared five months ahead

of the midterm elections and those establishment rhinos Ryan and McConnell

are sweating profusely wringing their hands they're near tears that President

Trump just keeps winning and winning we take up the political implications with

the Dean himself Ed Rollins and the national left-wing media brimming with

hacks and activists and mediocrities the mundane and the inane working tirelessly

to support the profane foul-mouthed Samantha bee holding on to her job while

Roseanne Barr is ousted by big entertainment diamond and silk here to

talk about the efforts of Hollywood the National left-wing media and corporate

America to silence conservatives our top story tonight President Trump says the

June 12 Singapore summit with Kim jong-un is back on president Trump made

the announcement after his historic meeting with President Kim's envoy Kim

Jung Cheol at the White House Fox News House correspondent Kevin cork with our

report loo good evening I think it's probably going to be a very successful

meeting that's what we heard from President Trump at the conclusion of

today's meeting with North Korean officials he also told us to pack our

bags the trip is on the meeting is on the summit is on but June 12th in

Singapore now no surprise here this was a rare gathering at the White House

between leaders from Washington and Pyongyang in fact first time in nearly

two decades a top official from the Hermit Kingdom has actually come here

and now what began as an expected delivery of a letter from Kim jong-un

and perhaps a brief visit morphed into this 80 minute discussion of a wide

range of topics from denuclearization to security to sanctions and a whole lot

more now the President as you can well imagine I was asked about a number of

different things like might he do something about sanctions what about the

so-called maximum pressure campaign the president said a lot but most notably he

warned everybody to tamp down expectations because this is only a

first step we're going to be June 12th we'll be in Singapore it'll be a

beginning I don't say and I've never said it happens in one meeting you took

in about years of hostility years of problems

years of really hatred between so many different nations but I think you're

gonna have a very positive result now it is also fair to point out Lou that the

US has to be sober about this pending summit with the North Koreans after all

we have seen them say all the right things previously in fact they've made a

number of promises previously only to break them each and every one in fact I

don't have to go very far back in history I can take you back to some

pictures we have from October of 2000 you remember that big meeting that the

North Koreans had with then President Bill Clinton well unfortunately for them

for us and for the entire world you see where that got us nowhere because the

North Koreans reneged on the deal so say folks here at the White House now as you

can also imagine we are eager to get a readout of that letter that the

president talked about receiving from the North Koreans as soon as I get when

I promise you I will pass it along but for now back to you Lou Kevin we await

we await your update thanks so much Kevin cork from the White House joining

me now to take up the declaration today by the president that there will be a

June 12 summit after all in Singapore dr. Sebastian Gorka Fox News national

security strategist former strategist to president Trump good to have you with us

tonight sub and president Trump is not only it appears accomplishing the

impossible but doing so at an unprecedented speed warp speed that

summit will actually begin if it is to happen on the 12th 11 days from tonight

what yeah it's truly stunning Lou remember how diplomacy was done before

the age of Trump in the end secretary Pompeo if a decision like this had been

taken to cancel the summit previously then the talks and the negotiations and

the meetings in Vienna and Geneva would have taken a year or a year and a half

to get back on track it would have taken two weeks it would have taken two weeks

just for Kerry to get his bicycles to Singapore right right and and the

president announces the cancellation it's a tough letter but he leaves that

window open he says look this is important for all of us so if you

want to send me a letter write me a letter and within a couple of days that

letter is hand-delivered to the Oval Office and the president walks out and

says let's do this I mean it's it's we've never seen this before in

diplomacy it's stunning and of course percolating along the way is the the

foundation work of a lot of career diplomats working to get to get this on

exactly the right footing and see that the conditions that the president is

laid out are met every step of the way preceding that summit the president

while being very cautious seems also very assured that the North Koreans are

meeting the markers at least to this point well look I have to say he's got

the right man heading the State Department to have somebody who was

running and reforming the CIA for over a year who made these connections to the

highest levels of that regime then transform over to the State Department

to become the chief negotiator he knows where the problems are he knows about

weapons regimes inspection regimes and I think said you would agree there is no

one within this administration who knows more about the State Department about

our history and international relations and with the North Koreans and every

other every other country in the world then john bolton the national security

adviser and i think it's interesting we haven't seen hide nor hair of

ambassador bolton why he is working obviously in the trenches and laying the

groundwork and doing everything he can to assure this president success he and

his brand-new chief of staff Fred flights they know exactly the games

North Korea's played for the last 30 years they know exactly what to look for

there I'm sure they're working hand in glove with Mike Pompeo and his new team

and they rest assured if this some it actually

happens Lou it will be a very serious regime they put in place yeah you know

it's it's it's an exciting prospect obviously for the world as the president

has said ie it is a it should be an exciting prospect for Kim jong-un and

the North Koreans we also know that you know like the Scorpion in the tortoise

nature is a very strong strong element to overcome now we'll see whether or not

this president will determine whether or not that scorpion can overcome its

nature Sebastian Gorka is always good to have

you with us thanks so much thank you - my pleasure

appreciate dr. Sebastian Gorka up next today's jobs numbers so good the Dems

can't stand it and Rollins on the midterms the numbers the Trump economy

no yes the dims the deep state and the left

they are just apoplectic this man keeps winning see there fella he said he would

win and win are you tired yet no nobody is Ed Rollins here next stay with us

AND SKRONG JONG IS BACK ON.

AND IF THE PRESIDENT WASN'T BUSY

ENOUGH, HE'S CALLING FOR

CANADIAN COMEDIAN SAMANTHA BEE

TO BE FIRED DAYS AFTER ROSEANNE

BARR LOST HER JOB.

WE DIG INTO WHAT THIS WEEK

REVEALED ABOUT COMEDY, RACISM

AND SEXISM.

THIS IS "THE NATIONAL".

>> Adrienne: CANADA WAS QUICK TO

STRIKE BACK AGAINST TARIFFS, BUT

IF YOU THINK THAT MEANS THE

GOVERNMENT'S CHARM OFFENSIVE

SOUTH OF THE BORDER IS OVER,

JUST WAIT.

EVEN WITH NEW THREATS FROM

DONALD TRUMP TO SCRAP NAFTA ALL

TOGETHER, THE TRUDEAU GOVERNMENT

WILL ONLY STEP UP ITS APPEALS.

KATIE SIMPSON HAS HINTS OF WHAT

IS TO COME.

>> Reporter: THE GOVERNMENT IS

TAKING ITS MESSAGE TO MILLIONS

OF AMERICANS INCLUDING DONALD

TRUMP.

>> SO WHAT DO YOU FEEL AS IF THE

PRESIDENT WANTS FROM YOU IN

PUTTING THESE TARIFFS OUT THERE?

>> Prime Minister Justin

Trudeau: I DON'T KNOW.

>> Reporter: THE PRIME MINISTER

TAPED AN INTERVIEW FOR THE

TOP-RATED SUNDAY TALK SHOW,

"MEET THE PRESS", TO PUSH THE

ANTI-TARIFF ARGUMENT.

THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS MINISTER

WILL ECHO HIM.

>> THIS IS A MOMENT WHEN IT IS

IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE CLEAR AND

FIRM.

>> Reporter: THIS IS A START OF

CANADA'S LOBBYING CAMPAIGN TO

KILL THE AMERICAN TARIFFS.

>> THIS WILL BE A TRULY PAN

CANADIAN EFFORT, INVOLVING

OBVIOUSLY ALL MEMBERS OF THE

GOVERNMENT.

>> WE'RE GOING KEEP TALKING,

WE'RE GOING TO KEEP LISTENING.

>> Reporter: THE RENEWED

OFFENSIVE COMES AFTER TRUDEAU IS

VOWING TO KEEP JOBS AT HOME.

>> AS WE FOUGHT FOR YOU BEFORE,

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT

FOR YOU.

>> Reporter: THE PRIME MINISTER

MADE A DIRECT APPEAL TO THE

ALUMINUM AND STEEL INDUSTRIES

TODAY, ASKING FOR PATIENCE.

THAT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR THE N.D.P.

>> WILL THE GOVERNMENT SIT DOWN

WITH LABOUR AND INDUSTRY

IMMEDIATELY AND PUT TOGETHER A

PACKAGE THAT SUPPORTS WORKERS,

PROTECTS THEIR JOBS AND DEFENDS

THEIR COMMUNITIES.

>> Reporter: DURING AN INTERVIEW

WITH "THE HOUSE", CHRYSTIA

FREELAND APPEARED OPEN.

>> WE'RE GOING TO STAND WITH OUR

WORKERS, COMPANIES AND THIS IS

SOMETHING WE'RE DISCUSSING AND

WILL CONTINUE TO DISCUSS WITH

THE PROVINCE.

>> Reporter: UNCERTAINTY MAY

BECOME THE NEW NORMAL FOR

CANADIAN STEEL AND ALUMINUM

PRODUCERS.

TRUMP APPEARS SATISFIED WITH THE

WAY SHE'S SHAKING UP THE TRADING

ORDER, AND MUSED AGAIN TODAY

ABOUT TEARING UP NAFTA.

>> I WOULDN'T MIND SEEING A

SEPARATE DEAL WITH CANADA WHERE

YOU HAVE ONE TYPE OF PRODUCT AND

A SEPARATE DEAL WITH MEXICO.

THESE ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT

COUNTRIES.

>> Adrienne: SO KATIE SIMPSON IS

IN OTTAWA, DONALD TRUMP HAS

HINTED BEFORE HE WOULD LIKE

BILATERAL TRADE DEALS INSTEAD OF

NAFTA, BUT WHAT DO THEY DO TO

THE NEGOTIATIONS?

>> IT WON'T HELP, NOT MUCH OF

WHAT TRUMP HAS DONE HAS BEEN

SEEN BY THE NEGOTIATORS AS

HELPFUL.

DESPITE THE LOW, SOURCES ARE

TELLING ME THAT THE NAFTA TALKS

ARE VERY MUCH ALIVE, BUT THOSE

NEGOTIATIONS ARE NOT THE

PRIORITY FOR CANADA, INSTEAD THE

GOVERNMENT IS FIXATED ON GETTING

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO KILL

THE NEW TARIFFS ON STEEL AND

ALUMINUM.

>> Adrienne: IT'S FRIDAY, DOOZY

OF A WEEK FOR THE PRIME

MINISTER, THE PIPELINE AND NOW

THIS.

IS IT YOUR INSTINCT THIS WILL BE

A DEFINING WEEK FOR HIM?

>> HOW JUSTIN TRUDEAU MANAGES

BOTH CONCERNS COULD BE

CAREER-DEFINING AND IT'S NOT

JUST HIS POLITICAL LEGACY ON THE

LINE, THE OUTCOME OF BOTH OF THE

ISSUES WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT

IMPACT ON THE FUTURE OF THE

COUNTRY.

>> Adrienne: THANK YOU.

>>> SO THE GOVERNMENT SAYS IT

WILL ACT TO PROTECT STEEL AND

ALUMINUM WORKERS, BUT

RETALIATORY ACTIONS COULD COST

CANADIANS.

JACQUELINE HANSEN EXPLAINS.

>> Reporter: AN OLD FAVOURITE

SUMMER GETAWAY VEHICLE CAN'T

AVOID TRUMP'S TARIFFS, ALMOST

ALL RVs SOLD IN CANADA ARE BUILT

IN THE U.S., BUT MADE WITH

CANADIAN STEEL AND ALUMINUM.

>> THIS UNIT WOULD RETAIL FOR

APPROXIMATELY $26,000.

>> Reporter: U.S. TARIFFS COULD

PUSH THE PRICES UP.

>> NOT GOOD NEWS, ON THE

CANADIAN SIDE AND THE AMERICAN

SIDE, PRICES WILL GO UP.

>> Reporter: THE TRADE DISPUTE

COULD COST CANADIANS AND NOT

JUST ON NICHE VEHICLES, CANADA'S

PLAN FOR PAYBACK MEANS ON JULY

1, IT WILL BE MORE EXPENSIVE TO

IMPORT STRAWBERRY JAM, PIZZA,

MAPLE SYRUP, ORANGE JUICE,

KETCHUP AND MORE.

BUT THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THERE

SHOULD BE CANADIAN MADE

ALTERNATIVES.

>> WE HAVE ENTERSURED THESE CAN BE

SOURCED FROM CANADIAN COMPANIES

IN AN EFFORT TO AVOID ANY COSTS

PASSED ONTO CANADIAN FAMILIES

AND CONSUMERS.

>> Reporter: SO TRUMP'S PUSH FOR

BUY AMERICAN MAY PROMPT PEOPLE

HERE TO BUY CANADIAN.

MANUFACTURERS LIKE HEINZ THAT

MOVE THEIR OPERATIONS OUT OF

CANADA COULD REGRET IT,

ACCORDING TO GROCERY INDUSTRY

ANALYST CHAN.

>> IT'S GOING TO HAUNT THEM EVEN

MORE, WITH FRENCH'S 100%

CANADIAN MADE, IT'S GOING BE THE

NATURAL ALTERNATIVE.

>> Reporter: AND IN SOME CASES,

THEY COULD SWALLOW THE COST.

>> THE CONSUMER MAY NOT WANT TO

PAY MORE.

>> Reporter: BUT FOR OTHER

INDUSTRIES, PRICE CUTS LIKELY

AREN'T ON THE TABLE.

>> IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE

RV INDUSTRY TO ABSORB A 25%

INCREASE ON COSTS COMING IN.

>> Reporter: FOR NOW, THESE ARE

MADE UP OF TARIFF-FREE PARTS AND

THE HOPE HERE IS THAT THE TRADE

FIGHT WON'T LAST LONG ENOUGH TO

CHANGE THAT.

>> Adrienne: OF COURSE, CANADA

ISN'T ALONE IN THE PRESIDENT'S

BAD BOOK.

STEEL AND ALUMINUM TARIFFS WERE

SLAPPED ON THE EUROPEAN UNION.

AND AS THOMAS DAIGLE TELLS US,

THE EU LIKE CANADA IS FIGHTING

BACK.

>> Reporter: WHERE BETTER TO

CHAT ABOUT AMERICAN TRADE

TARIFFS THAN AT A BAR IN LONDON.

ONE THAT COULD FEEL AN IMPACT IF

THE EUROPEAN UNION FOLLOWS

THROUGH ON ITS PLANS.

>> IT'S GOING TO HIT THE

CONSUMER STRAIGHTAWAY AND WHAT

WE'LL FIND, WE'LL HAVE TO DROP

AMERICAN WHISKEY.

>> Reporter: HE'S IN THE WHISKEY

BUSINESS AND BUSINESS IS GOOD.

WITH 400 VARIETIES IN STOCK, A

QUARTER OF HIS REVENUE IS FROM

U.S. BRANDS ALONE.

THE THIRST FOR AMERICAN WHISKEY

KEEPS GROWING ONLY TO BE STUNTED

IF THE EU IMPOSES A REPORTED 25%

DUTY ON BOURBON AND OR U.S.

WHISKEYS.

>> ALL IT HURTS IS THE GUYS

MAKING IT, THE DISTILLERIES BACK

IN AMERICA, IT'S GOING TO BECOME

TOO EXPENSIVE.

>> Reporter: IN BRUSSELS TODAY,

THE EU CONFIRMED IT'S FINALIZING

PLANS TO FIRE BACK FOR THE

TARIFFS ON EUROPEAN STEEL AND

ALUMINUM.

>> THIS IS FURTHER WEAKENING THE

TRANSATLANTIC RELATIONS.

>> Reporter: HUNDREDS OF U.S.

PRODUCTS FACE ADDITIONAL DUTIES

FROM HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLES

TO LESS LAVISH ITEMS FOUND AT

HOME.

FLORIDA ORANGE JUICE.

AMERICAN JEANS.

MAKEUP.

AND THE LIST GOES ON.

DRASTIC MEASURES, SURE, BUT ALSO

THIS.

GERMANY RECOMMENDED CANCELLING

THE G7 SUMMIT.

AND THE SHOW OF SUPPOSED

COOPERATION AS DONALD TRUMP

TREATS U.S. ALLIES LIKE

OPPONENTS.

>> IF HE JUST CONTINUES TO GET

WHAT HE WANTS, HE'LL CONTINUE TO

ASK FOR MORE AND IT WILL NEVER

END.

SOMEONE HAS TO SAY NO AND THAT

HAS GOT TO BE THE EU AND

HOPEFULLY ALONGSIDE OTHERS.

>> Reporter: BACK AT THE WHISKEY

BAR, THEY'RE ENJOYING THE

AMERICAN SPIRITS FOR NOW,

FEARING THIS TRADE BATTLE WILL

LEAD TO DEMAND DRYING UP.

THOMAS DAIGLE, CBC NEWS, LONDON.

>> Adrienne: ALL THE NEW TARIFFS

BECAME THE TOPIC AT THE MEETING

OF G7 FINANCE MINISTERS.

AS CBC NEWS HEARD FROM FRANCE'S

REPRESENTATIVE, TRUMP'S

BOMBSHELL HAS INSPIRED A NEW

NAME FOR THE GROUP.

>> ON TRADE, THIS IS A G6 PLUS

ONE.

THERE IS ONE STATE, UNITED

STATES, THAT HAVE DECIDED TO

RAISE TARIFFS ON STEEL AND

ALUMINUM, EVEN IF NEITHER CANADA

NOR JAPAN NOR THE EU COUNTRIES

ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE

OVERCAPACITY IN STEEL AND

ALUMINUM.

>> Adrienne: THE MAYOR WENT ON

TO DESCRIBE THE MEETING TODAY AS

TOUGH AND INTENSE.

>> HERE'S WHAT ELSE WE'RE

DIGGING INTO ON "THE NATIONAL".

TWO COMEDIANS, TWO COMMENTS AND

A LOT OF OUTRAGE.

WHAT IS REALLY DRIVING THE

CONVERSATION?

>> Adrienne: PLUS DURING LAST

WEEK'S DEBATES, THEY MAY HAVE

BEEN AT EACH OTHER'S THROATS,

NOW THE NEW DEMOCRATS AND

PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVES ARE

NECK AND NECK.

>> Andrew: BACK TO DONALD

TRUMP'S NEWS CONFERENCE AND THE

BIG NEWS.

THE SUMMIT IS BACK ON.

WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE U.S. AND

NORTH KOREA HAVE HAD ONE OF THE

WORLD'S MOST DYSFUNCTIONAL

RELATIONSHIPS, BUT TODAY, TRUMP

ANNOUNCED THEY'RE GIVING

PERSONAL DIALOGUE ANOTHER SHOT.

HOW WILL IT GO THIS TIME IF IT

GOES AT ALL?

>> Reporter: THAT'S THE OFFICIAL

ENVOY FROM NORTH KOREA ARRIVING

AT THE WHITE HOUSE THIS

AFTERNOON, SUPPOSEDLY JUST TO

DROP OFF A PERSONAL LETTER TO

THE PRESIDENT FROM HIS LEADER

KIM JONG-UN.

INSTEAD THE MEETING LASTED TWO

HOURS AFTER WHICH TRUMP AND HIS

TEAM MADE A SHOW OF GIVING THEIR

GUEST A WARM SENDOFF.

>> President Donald Trump: WE'LL

BE MEETING ON JUNE 12 IN

SINGAPORE.

>> Reporter: JUST LIKE THAT, THE

MEETING THAT TRUMP CANCELLED A

WEEK AGO IS BACK ON.

THE IMPORTANT CHANGE THAT

WHATEVER EXPECTATIONS FOR THE

MEETING HAD BEEN, THEY ARE NOW

EXPLICITLY LOW.

>> WE'RE NOT GOING TO SIGN

SOMETHING ON JUNE 12, WE NEVER

WERE.

WE'RE GOING TO START A PROCESS.

I TOLD THEM TODAY, TAKE YOUR

TIME, YOU CAN GO FAST, WE CAN GO

SLOW.

>> Reporter: BUT TRUMP SAYS HE

TRULY BELIEVES THAT HE AND KIM

WANT THE SAME THING,

DENUCLEARIZATION, IT'S JUST NOT

GOING TO HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.

SO WHAT COULD HAPPEN AT THE JUNE

12 MEETING?

>> I THINK IT'S A GETTING TO

KNOW YOU MEETING PLUS.

>> Reporter: THE PLUS TRUMP SAID

MIGHT BE THE SIGNING OF A PEACE

TREATY THAT MAY END THE FROZEN

CONFLICT.

>> THAT IS SOMETHING THAT COULD

COME OUT OF THE MEETING.

>> Reporter: ABOUT THE LETTER.

AT FIRST TRUMP SAID THIS.

>> IT WAS A VERY INTERESTING

LETTER.

>> Reporter: BUT THEN LATER --

>> I HAVEN'T SEEN THE LETTER

YET, I DIDN'T OPEN THE LETTER.

I HAVEN'T OPENED IT.

I DIDN'T OPEN IT IN FRONT OF THE

DIRECTOR.

I SAID WOULD YOU WANT ME TO OPEN

IT?

HE SAID YOU CAN READ IT LATER.

>> Reporter: ODD, BUT

INCONSEQUENTIAL.

>> Andrew: WE'VE BEEN TALKING

ABOUT THE MEETING AND IT'S EASY

TO DISMISS THIS AS INDECISION OR

INEXPERIENCE, BUT WHAT IS

DRIVING THIS?

>> FROM THE BEGINNING, CRITICS

SAID THAT TRUMP WAS TOO EAGER TO

MEET WITH KIM.

HE ACCEPTED THE INVITATION

ALMOST AS SOON AS IT WAS MADE

WITHOUT KNOWING IF IT THEY

SHARED THE SAME OBJECTIVES.

IT'S CLEAR SINCE THEN, THEY HAVE

A LOT OF WORK TO DO JUST TO

AGREE ON THE TERMS OF

DISCUSSION.

WHAT HAPPENED, THEY AGREED TO

CONTINUE THE DIALOGUE, BUT TO

REIN IN EXPECTATIONS ABOUT WHAT

CAN ACTUALLY BE ACCOMPLISHED IN

A SINGLE SESSION.

>> Andrew: IS IT FAIR TO SAY

WHAT HAPPENED TODAY IS A SIGN OF

PROGRESS ON PROCESS, BUT WHERE

IS THE SUBSTANCE?

>> Reporter: YEAH.

I MEAN, IT'S STILL CLEAR THAT

KIM HAS NOT BEEN PERSUADED BY

THE U.S. HE'S BETTER OFF WITHOUT

HIS NUCLEAR WEAPONS THAN HE IS

WITH THEM.

AND OF COURSE HE KNOWS HE

WOULDN'T BE IN THE BARGAINING

POSITION HE IS IN NOW IF HE

DIDN'T HAVE THE WEAPONS.

>> Andrew: KEITH BOAG IN

WASHINGTON.

>>> LET'S MOVE FROM CUTTING A

DEAL TO FINDING A DEAL.

SOME CANADIANS HAD A STROKE OF

GOOD LUCK WHEN IT CAME TO THEIR

DATA HUNGRY PHONE PLANS.

FOR A BRIEF SHINING WEEK OR SO,

BELL, TELUS AND ROGERS OFFERED

TO DOUBLE THE DATA AT NO EXTRA

CHARGE FOR CERTAIN FAMILY SHARE

PLANS.

CUSTOMERS GRABBED DEALS LIKE 20

GIGS FOR 70 BUCKS A MONTH, BUT

HOLD THE PHONE.

IT WAS FOR MANITOBA ONLY.

IN THE WILDERNESS, MANITOBA GETS

SPECIAL TREATMENT.

>> Reporter: TYLER USED TO BE

LIKE MOST CANADIANS, WATCHING

HIS DATA.

>> EVEN ON THE 10 GIGABYTE PLAN.

>> Reporter: NOT ANYMORE.

>> NOW I'M GETTING WASTEFUL.

>> Reporter: HE CAUGHT A LIMITED

TIME DEAL WITH ROGERS, DOUBLE

HIS DATA, NO EXTRA COST.

>> HOW USEFUL IS THAT?

>> VERY USEFUL.

I DO AN ONLINE SALES MARKETING

BUSINESS, SO MY DATA GETS CHEWED

UP QUICK.

>> I AM ALWAYS GOING OVER.

>> Reporter: TIFFANY GOT IN ON

IT, TOO.

>> AT FIRST I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT,

BUT I STARTED TO LOOK INTO IT

AND DECIDED TO CALL ROGERS AND

SURE ENOUGH, IT WAS REAL.

>> Reporter: SO REAL, BELL AND

TELUS OFFERED SOMETHING SIMILAR,

BUT LIKE ROGERS, ONLY HERE IN

MANITOBA.

WHERE COMPETITION IN THE

WIRELESS MARKET HAS ALWAYS BEEN

A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

FOR YEARS, MANITOBA TELECOM

SERVICES WAS NOT ONLY

COMPETITION TO THE BIG THREE, IT

HAD HALF THE MANITOBA MARKET,

DRIVING PRICES WELL BELOW

NATIONAL AVERAGES.

LAST YEAR, BELL BOUGHT IT OUT

WITH CONDITIONS, INCLUDING

GIVING UP CUSTOMERS AND MAKING

ROOM FOR A FOURTH COMPETITOR.

XPLORENET WILL LAUNCH LATER THIS

YEAR.

>> IT'S ALMOST LIKE THEY'RE

TREATING MANITOBA AS A

COMPLETELY SEPARATE COUNTRY.

>> Reporter: THIS ANALYST SAYS

THE DEALS ARE ABOUT THE BIG

THREE SCRAMBLING TO LOCK UP WHAT

THEY CAN.

>> SO THERE IS GOING TO CONTINUE

TO BE A LEGACY OF BETTER

COMPETITION IN MANITOBA THAN THE

REST OF THE COUNTRY.

>> Reporter: IN A BIG DATA

HUNGRY COUNTRY, TURNS OUT

MANITOBA ENVY IS ACTUALLY A

THING.

B.C. ROGERS CUSTOMER PETE JENSEN

TOOK HIS FRUSTRATION ONLINE.

>> YOU HEAR THEY'RE OFFERING

DOUBLE THE DATA FOR NO COST IN

MANITOBA AND YOU'RE THINKING WHY

THEM, NOT US?

>> Reporter: ROGERS GAVE HIM THE

SAME ANSWER, MARKET CONDITIONS.

WHILE THE DEAL WAS ADVERTISED

UNTIL JULY 3, ROGERS IS NO

LONGER OFFERING IT, NEITHER ARE

BELL AND TELUS.

HE SYMPATHIZES, SORT OF.

>> GOT ANY BUDDIES?

>> YEAH.

20 GIGS.

>> DO YOU THINK YOU CAN BURN

THROUGH THAT?

>> CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

>> Andrew: TAKE A LOOK AT THE

LATEST PRICE COMPARISONS AND

THEY TELL A SIMILAR STORY.

IF YOU TAKE MANITOBA OUT OF THE

PICTURE, CANADA PAYS A LOT.

A BASIC PLAN WITH A GIGABYTE OF

DATA IS JUST OVER $70 A MONTH.

THAT MAKES US AMONG THE SECOND

MOST EXPENSIVE.

AMERICANS PAY $54 AND ITALY

LEADS ON VALUE, THEY PAY JUST

OVER $20.

AND THAT'S FOR A DATA PLAN THAT

WOULD RUN DRY AFTER ABOUT AN

HOUR'S WORTH OF STREAMING.

>> Adrienne: STILL AHEAD, SHE

WAS THE FIRST TO THE SCENE AND

LOVED ONES SAY SHE NEVER LEFT IT

BEHIND.

NEXT, THE PARAMEDIC WHO DIED BY

SUICIDE AFTER THE MOSQUE

SHOOTING.

>>> LESS THAN A WEEK TO GO

ONTARIO.

AND SOME OF THE PARTY'S

LAST-MINUTE STRATEGIES ARE

ON THE NIGHT OF THE MOSQUE

SHOOTING, ANDREANNE LEBLANC WAS

AT THE SCENE TENDING TO THE

WOUNDED.

IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THOSE

CLOSE TO HER TO START TO NOTICE

>> SHE IS KIND OF -- I'M NOT

SURE THE WORD IS CORRECT -- IT'S

LIKE A SPARKLE.

SHE ALWAYS HAVE A SMILE AND SHE

WANT TO DISCUSS EVERYTHING.

THEN SHE CHANGED.

SHE CHANGED A LOT.

>> Adrienne: LeBLANC REFUSED TO

TALK ABOUT THAT NIGHT.

SHE MOVED AWAY FROM QUÉBEC CITY

AND HER TROUBLES SHADOWED HER.

>> IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF

SOMETHING, SHE WAS ALL ON CALL,

24 HOURS.

AND I FOUND OUT SHE WAS MORE

SHE WAS SAYING I'M NOT SURE I'M

GOING TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO A

DETERIORATED.

IN MARCH, SHE WAS FOUND DEAD

IT'S CLEAR.

SHE WANTED TO SEND A MESSAGE.

PARAMEDICS NEED HELP.

FIREFIGHTERS, 911 WERE SCREENED

FOR ONE OR MORE MENTAL

DISORDERS.

THE RATE IN THE GENERAL

POPULATION IS JUST 10%.

>> Andrew: LET'S TURN TO

ONTARIO, WHERE THE POLITICAL

BATTLE FOR THE LARGEST PROVINCE

IS IN THE FINAL STRETCH.

VOTERS WILL CHOOSE THEIR NEXT

GOVERNMENT AND PREMIER NEXT

THURSDAY.

AFTER WEEKS OF TWISTS AND TURNS,

IT'S LOOKING LIKE A CHOICE

BETWEEN LEFT AND RIGHT.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE POLL

TRACKER.

NECK AND NECK SPRINT TO THE

FINISH BETWEEN ANDREA HORWATH

N.D.P. AND DOUG FORD'S TORIES.

IT DID NOT LOOK LIKE THIS A FEW

WEEKS AGO WHEN FORD SEEMED ALL

BUT UNSTOPPABLE.

MIND YOU, HIS PROGRESSIVE

CONSERVATIVES ARE STILL THE ODDS

ON FAVOURITE TO FORM GOVERNMENT,

BUT AS SALIMAH SHIVJI FOUND OUT

TODAY, IT WON'T BE WITHOUT A

FIGHT.

>> Reporter: WITH LESS THAN A

WEEK TO GO, THE LEADERS ARE IN

ENEMY TERRITORY.

ANDREA HORWATH IN LIBERAL LEADER

KATHLEEN WYNNE'S RIDING.

>> TO THOSE WHO VOTED LIBERAL IN

THE PAST, I INVITE YOU TO JOIN

US, TO STOP DOUG FORD.

>> Reporter: THE STRATEGY IS

CLEAR.

STEAL MORE LIBERAL VOTES WITH

THAT PARTY NOW A DISTANT THIRD

IN THE POLLS AND THE N.D.P. AND

PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVES NECK

AND NECK.

WITH THE LIBERALS IN THE FINAL

DAYS, IT'S A BATTLE AGAINST

ANNIHILATION.

>> THEY MAY GO DOWN TO BELOW 10

SEATS.

THEY MAY NOT EVEN HAVE OFFICIAL

PARTY STATUS.

THEIR CHALLENGE, THEY NEED TO

CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN

VOTING LIBERAL THAT IT IS A

RISKY THING TO LEAVE THE

LIBERALS.

>> Reporter: THE P.C. DOUG FORD

IS ALSO PUSHING THAT MESSAGE OF

RISK AND FEAR.

>> THAT IS THE RADICAL ACTIVIST

N.D.P. THAT ARE TRYING TO FORM

GOVERNMENT.

>> Reporter: A CONSISTENT

MESSAGE.

>> ANDREA HORWATH AND THE

N.D.P., CHANGE FOR THE WORSE.

>> Reporter: BUT QUIETLY BEHIND

THE SCENES TO THEIR SUPPORTERS,

THE CAMPAIGN MESSAGE IS

ANTI-POLLS AND ANTI-MEDIA.

A FUNDRAISING LETTER WITH THE

SUBJECT, THEY'RE LYING AGAIN,

READS THEY'RE CALLING IT A POLL,

BUT IT'S JUNK SCIENCE, BUT THE

MEDIA IS GOING TO REPORT ON IT

LIKE IT WAS FACT.

WHY?

BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT US TO

WIN.

AND CBC NEWS LEARNED THAT THE

P.C. CAMPAIGN IS RAISING

CONCERNS ABOUT THE NEW MACHINES

THAT WILL COUNT THE BALLOTS ON

ELECTION NIGHT.

>> IT'S REMINISCENT OF WHAT THE

MESSAGING WE HEARD AT THE END OF

THE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

WHEN THERE WAS TALK ABOUT THE

ELECTION BEING RIGGED.

IF WE END UP WITH A CLOSE

ELECTION RESULT, THIS KIND OF

LANGUAGE MIGHT TURN OUT TO BE

SIGNIFICANT IN TERMS OF HOW IT

UNDERMINES CONFIDENCE.

>> Reporter: POLITICAL STRATEGY

OR NOT, HE'S CERTAIN THE LAST

SIX DAYS WILL SEE ALL THE

LEADERS IN BATTLE GROUND

RIDINGS, NAMELY THE GREATER

TORONTO AREA WHERE THE ELECTION

WILL BE WON.

>> Adrienne: STILL AHEAD, WE

BEGIN SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR

NATIONAL INDIGENOUS HISTORY

MONTH.

TONIGHT, A YOUNG CREE FILMMAKER

RECREATES A PORTRAIT OF HER

GRANDFATHER AND FINDS HER PLACE

IN A LONG LINE OF LEADERS.

>> AS I WAS SITTING WITH IT AND

I COULD FEEL THE WEIGHT STARTING

TO REST ON MY NECK AND

SHOU

[ * ]

THIS IS A MANDATORY EVACUATION

ORDER, AND IT MEANS WHAT IT

SAYS, IT MEANS YOU MUST LEAVE.

>> Andrew: A WARNING FROM

HAWAIIAN OFFICIALS TO LEAVE HOME

OR FACE ARREST.

A MANDATORY EVACUATION HAS BEEN

PUT IN PLACE FOR PART OF THE BIG

ISLAND.

THE SITUATION NEAR SOME LAVA

FOUNTAINS IS TOO UNPREDICTABLE

AND THEY DON'T WANT RESIDENTS

TRAPPED.

SO FAR, 75 HOMES HAVE BEEN

DESTROYED.

>>> FIVE FORMER NFL CHEER

LEADERS ARE SUING THEIR FORMER

TEAM.

THEY SAY THEY WERE HARASSED AND

PAID PEANUTS.

THEY SAY IF THEY COMPLAINED, IT

WAS MADE CLEAR THEY WOULD BE

FIRED.

>> BEING A HOUSTON TEXAN

CHEERLEADER MEANT BEING A PART

OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAN MYSELF,

WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW WAS BEING A

CHEERLEADER MEANT BEING

EXPLOITED, MISTREATED AND NOT

PAID FOR MY TIME.

>> Andrew: TODAY'S LEGAL ACTION

COMES LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER

THREE OTHER SUED THE TEXANS,

THEY'RE ALSO ALLEGING

MISTREATMENT AND UNFAIR PAY.

THE TEAM SAID ITS CONSTANTLY

EVALUATING ITS PROCEDURES.

>>> IT HAS BEEN AN EVENTFUL WEEK

IN THE CULTURE WARS.

"ROSEANNE" IS OFFER, CANCELLED

AFTER ITS CONSERVATIVE STAR.

WHILE ACROSS THE DODY --

>> DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR DAD'S

IMMIGRATION PRACTISES, YOU

FECKLESS [BLEEP].

>> SAMANTHA BEE OFFENDED A LOT

OF PEOPLE WHEN DROPPING THE

C-BOMB ON WEDNESDAY.

SPONSORS PULLED THEIR ADS AND

SOME CALLED FOR BEE TO BE FIRED.

BUT COMPARE THAT TO THE REACTION

TO ROSEANNE BARR'S RACIST TWEET

THE DAY BEFORE WHEN SHE COMPARED

FORMER OBAMA ADVISOR, VALERIE

JARRETT, AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN

WOMAN TO AN APE.

ABC CANCELLED THE SHOW OUTRIGHT.

AND THERE HAVE BEEN TWO

DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT OUTCOMES

HAS TRIGGERED A HUGE DEBATE.

WHERE THE LINES ARE AND WHERE

THEY SHOULD BE?

>> WHERE IS THE CONVERSATION

GOING AND WHAT IS IT REALLY

ABOUT?

WE HAVE TWO GUESTS, PAIGE

LAVENDER, SHE'S IN WASHINGTON

AND DALTON HIGGINS, AUTHOR,

WRITER, HE IS JOINING US OUT OF

THE THE STUDIO IN TORONTO.

DALTON, I'LL START WITH YOU

HERE, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THE FACT

THAT THESE TWO CASES ARE SEEN AS

TWO PEAS OF THE SAME VILE POD,

IS THAT FAIR?

>> IT'S NOT FAIR.

ROSEANNE BARR, SAMANTHA BEE,

APPLES AND ORANGES.

THE REASON BEING THIS IDEA OF

WHITE WOMAN SORT OF HURLING AN

INSULT AT ANOTHER WHITE WOMAN

BEING SOMEHOW LOOKED AT AS

COMPARABLE TO WHITE WOMAN WHO

HAS A HISTORY OF JUST A LOT OF

RHETORIC, RACIST REMARKS, NOT

SURE WHY SHE WAS INVITED BACK TO

NETWORK TELEVISION.

COMPARING AFRICAN-AMERICAN WHITE

HOUSE STAFFER TO AN APE.

SOMETHING THAT IS ROOTED IN

AGE'S OLD PREJUDICES AND YOU

KNOW, RACIST TROPES, IT'S JUST

NOT THE SAME THING.

>> Andrew: THE WORDS MATTER,

TOO, I TAKE YOUR POINT ABOUT THE

CONTEXT, BUT WHAT IS THE

IMPLICATION OF THAT, THAT RACISM

IS NOT OK, THAT HURLING A SEXIST

INSULT IS OK?

>> NO, THERE IS CERTAINLY A BIT

OF A HIERARCHY, AS SAD AND

PATHETIC AS IT SOUNDS, I THINK

THE IMPLICATIONS AROUND WHEN WE

TALK ABOUT RACE IN AMERICA, AND

WE TALK ABOUT THE TEMPERATURE,

THE BAR, IT'S REALLY LOW THAT

HAS BEEN SET BY THE PRESIDENT OF

THE UNITED STATES.

SO HIM, ME BEING BLACK AND

CONSTANTLY HEARING PEOPLE OF MY

ILK COME FROM SHIT HOLE

COUNTRIES, THEY'RE NOT THE SAME

THING, ANDREW.

>> Andrew: PAIGE, WHERE DO YOU

STAND ON THIS?

WERE YOU SURPRISED WHERE THE

CONVERSATION HAS GONE AND SMACK

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CULTURAL

DIVIDE?

>> NOT SURPRISED WHERE THE WHITE

HOUSE TOOK THIS.

I THINK IF ROSEANNE HADN'T

TWEETED THAT, WE WOULDN'T BE

HAVING THE CONVERSATION ABOUT

SAMANTHA BEE.

THIS FEELS LIKE A CASE OF FALSE

EQUIVALENCY AM .

/* -- THAT IS CERTAINLY NOT THE

FIRST TIME THAT SAMANTHA BEE HAS

GONE AFTER THE WHITE HOUSE IN AN

EXTREME WAY AND SHE'S NOT THE

ONLY ONE DOING THAT.

SO I THINK THEY TRIED TO MAKE

HER AN EXAMPLE, AN EYE FOR AN

EYE.

IF ROSEANNE GOT FIRED, WHY ISN'T

SAM BEE GETTING FIRED AS WELL?

>> IF ROSEANNE'S TWEET NEVER

HAPPENED, THERE WOULDN'T BE

OUTRAGE WHAT SAMANTHA BEE HAD TO

SAY ON TELEVISION, BUT WHAT

COMES OUT OF THAT?

THE IDEA THAT THE OUTRAGE ISN'T

REAL?

THAT IT'S MORE ABOUT POLITICAL

OPPORTUNISM?

>> I'M SURE THERE IS A DEGREE OF

OUTRAGE.

I DON'T DOUBT THAT TRUMP AND

IVANKA AND SARAH HUCKABEE

SANDERS THOUGHT THAT WHAT SAM

BEE SAID WAS WRONG.

BUT WHAT THIS WHITE HOUSE

PREACHED IS ABOUT MEDIA BIAS.

THEY'RE CONCERNED WITH LIBERALS

GIVING A PASS TO DEMOCRATS OR

FELLOW LIBERALS IN BOTH NEWS

MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT.

AND THEN YOU KNOW, BEING EXTRA

CRITICAL OF ANY CONSERVATIVE

FIGURES.

AND ROSEANNE BARR IS MAYBE ONE

OF THE BIGGEST CONSERVATIVE

FIGURES IN THE UNITED STATES.

SO I THINK THAT'S THE SPIN

THEY'RE GOING WITH.

THEY'RE USING IT AS A POLITICAL

OPPORTUNITY TO CALL OUT THE

MEDIA'S BIAS AGAINST

CONSERVATIVES AND IF PEOPLE

AREN'T ARRANGED BY SAMANTHA BEE,

WHY ARE THEY OUTRAGED ABOUT

ROSEANNE?

>> Andrew: IF SAMANTHA BEE HAD A

LARGER POINT TO MAKE, I'M NOT

SURE ANYONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT.

>> THAT'S THE TRAGEDY.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT

NAME-CALLING, VERY AMATEURISH,

JUVENILE, MUD SLINGING, AND

THAT'S DONE A GREAT JOB OF

OBJECT A-- OBSCURING THE FACT

THAT WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT

PUERTO RICO.

AND THE POINT SAMANTHA BEE WAS

TRYING TO MAKE, THE IT'S AN

AFTERTHOUGHT BECAUSE OF THE

SHAMELESS NAME CALLING.

>> Andrew: HOW TO BREAK THE

CYCLE OF TIT-FOR-TAT OUTRAGE?

>> IT CERTAINLY MIGHT HELP IF

PEOPLE STOPPED THE NAME-CALLING.

I DON'T THINK THAT ADDS TO

ANYTHING.

I THINK EVENTUALLY PEOPLE ARE

GOING GET OUTRAGE FATIGUE AND

MOVE ONTO THE NEXT THING.

AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE

SITUATIONS LIKE THIS AGAIN, BUT

THAT TYPE OF RHETORIC REALLY

DISTRACTS FROM THE REAL ISSUES

AT HAND.

HOPEFULLY, WE CAN MOVE AWAY FROM

THAT.

>> Andrew: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

JOINING US.

>> Adrienne: IF YOU HAVEN'T

ALREADY, MAKE SURE YOU SUBSCRIBE

TO OUR NEWS LETTER.

WE TAKE YOU INSIDE JOURNALISM

AND HIGHLIGHT STORIES YOU MIGHT

HAVE MISSED.

TODAY, JAPAN'S POPULATION IS

SHRINKING AT >> Adrienne: WHEN HEADDRESSE S

MAKE HEADLINES, IT'S BECAUSE OF

IMAGES LIKE THIS.

THE SUPERMODEL WEARING THE HEAD

GEAR DURING A VICTORIA SECRET

FASHION SHOW, OR THIS WOMAN

SCORNED ONLINE AFTER WHAT SHE

SAW WAS A BEAUTIFUL FEATHER HAT.

BUT IT WAS THIS PHOTO OF

PHARRELL WILLIAMS THAT INSPIRED

A CREE FILMMAKER TO TAKE ACTION.

HER NAME IS JJ NEEPIN.

AND AT FIRST, SHE SAID SHE HAD

FIXED FEELINGS, BUT THEN THE

ANGER SET IN.

TODAY, MARKING THE START THE

NATIONAL INDIGENOUS MONTH.

AND CBC SHORT DOCS HAS BEEN

WORKING WITH FILMMAKERS GIVING

THEM A PLATFORM TO SHARE THEIR

STORIES THROUGH THEIR EYES.

TONIGHT WE BEGIN WITH NEEPIN,

SHE DECIDED TO RECREATE THIS

PORTRAIT OF HER GREAT

GRANDFATHER AND MADE A FILM

ABOUT IT CALLED HEADDRESS.

>> MY NAME IS JJ NEEPIN, I'M A

FILMMAKER HERE IN WINNIPEG.

I'M PART OVER THE FOX LAKE CREE

NATION.

TO ME, THE HEADDRESS IS A SYMBOL

OF LEADERSHIP.

IT'S SOMETHING EARNED.

A COLLECTIVE HAD TO PUT IT ON

YOUR HEAD.

SO THAT'S WHY I HAVE A LOT OF

MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT EVEN DOING

THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I'M BOTH EXCITED AND ALSO LIKE,

TERRIFIED.

PROUD-SCARED COMBO.

[ * ]

>> I REMEMBERED OUR GREAT

GRANDFATHER'S PORTRAIT AND I

THOUGHT, WOULDN'T THAT BE COOL

TO RECREATE THE PORTRAIT.

WHO COULD I GET TO DO THAT?

WELL, WHY COULDN'T I DO IT?

I COME FROM A LINE OF LEADERS.

AND IT'S QUITE A LINEAGE AND

SOMETHING TO LIVE UP TO, OR AT

LEAST I HOPE I CAN.

SO, WE'RE GOING TO BE RECREATING

THIS TODAY.

>> MY NAME IS AGA KHAN, I'M FROM

FIRST NATIONS, IT'S FORMERLY

CALLED THE NORTHWEST ANGLE 37

FIRST NATION.

A HEADDRESS IS SOMETHING NOT TO

BE TAKEN LIGHTLY.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN

JUST THROW ON AT COACHELLA AND

DANCE AROUND AND GO CRAZY,

PARTY, PARTY WITH IT.

IT'S TOTALLY NOT WHAT IT'S FOR.

IT'S A RESPONSIBILITY THAT YOU

HAVE TO YOUR NATION AND YOUR

FELLOW MAN.

THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE WEAR

THAT HAVE SIGNIFICANCE.

>> WHEN NON-INDIGENOUS PEOPLE

PUT ON LIKE A HEADDRESS, THEY

DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND THE

WEIGHT THAT THOSE SYMBOLS HAVE.

AND THEN JUST TO WEAR IT LIKE A

PROP, IT'S VERY DISRESPECTFUL.

I DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT AT

FIRST.

IT DIDN'T OFFEND ME, ONLY

BECAUSE I WASN'T VERY EDUCATED

ON IT.

I WASN'T -- I WAS PRETTY

IGNORANT TO A LOT OF OUR CULTURE

AND TRADITIONS EARLY ON.

I'VE ONLY JUST STARTED EDUCATING

MYSELF ABOUT IT.

SO I CERTAINLY SEE IT A LOT MORE

NOW.

BUT IN THE BEGINNING, YEAH,

DIDN'T BOTHER ME, DIDN'T OFFEND

ME, I THAT YOU GO IT LOOKED KIND

OF COOL SEEING A HEADDRESS ON A

WHITE PERSON.

HEY, THAT'S NEAT.

>> AFTER YOU SAID, IT LOOKS LIKE

HE'S LISTENING TO SOMEONE TALK,

THAT'S ALL I SEE.

>> LIKE HE'S LEANED IN TOWARD

SOMEONE.

>> SO I CAUGHT HIM IN MID

LISTEN.

>> JUST BECAUSE I'M NATIVE, IT'S

NOT OK I'M PUTTING ON A

HEADDRESS.

THAT'S NOT A GOOD ENOUGH REASON.

I NEED TO EARN IT.

SOMETIMES IT'S OK TO BE IGNORANT

IF YOU'RE WILLING TO LEARN.

I WANT TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE, I

THINK IT'S IMPORTANT.

A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE WILL

LISTEN IF YOU CALMLY AND IN AN

INTERESTING WAY, TELL THEM WHY

IT'S IMPORTANT AND -- JUST TELL

THEM WHY.

>> OK.

>> IS THAT OK?

>> YEP.

YEAH, IT'S ON THERE SOLID.

OK.

[ * ]

>> WHEN JJ WAS FIRST PUTTING IT

ON, IT WAS PRETTY POWERFUL.

>> LOOK FORWARD.

>> AS I WAS SITTING WITH IT AND

COULD FEEL THE WEIGHT STARTING

TO REST ON MY NECK AND

SHOULDERS.

IT WAS PHYSICALLY HEAVY AND

METAPHORICALLY HEAVY, I COULD

FEEL THE RESPONSIBILITY OF IT ON

MY HEAD.

[ * ]

>> THERE IS A REASON BEHIND

EVERYTHING.

AND I FEEL LIKE I GOT GUIDED AND

THEN PUSHED AND PUT HERE FOR A

REASON, SO...

>> I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO

THINK IN NEW WAYS AND TO

REMEMBER OLD WAYS.

>> WE DON'T DISCUSS IT ENOUGH.

OR PEOPLE DON'T ASK ENOUGH, THIS

IS WHY YOU DO WHAT YOU DO.

I JUST HOPE GOOD THINGS COME

FROM IT.

>> Adrienne: NOW, IF YOU'RE

WONDERING WHERE NEEPIN GOT THE

HEADDRESS SHE WAS WEARING IN THE

STORY, SHE SAID IT WAS LOANED TO

HER BY A FORMER MANITOBA GRAND

CHIEF.

THERE WERE CONDITIONS, THAT SHE

PROMISED TO HANDLE THE HEADDRESS

WITH CARE AND RESPECT.

THAT SHE MADE SURE ONLY NEEPIN

OR HER SISTER WOULD TOUCH IT AND

SHE WOULD WEAR IT NO MORE THAN

THREE TIMES.

YOU CAN SEE MORE DOCS AT

cbc.ca/shortdocs.

AND "THE NATIONAL" WILL BE

SHOWCASING SOME OF THEIR STORIES

THROUGHOUT THE MONTH.

THIS SUNDAY ON "THE NATIONAL",

THEY ARE YOUNG, THEY'RE

INDIGENOUS AND THEY'RE WEAVING

THEIR CULTURE IN HISTORY INTO

EVERY DESIGN.

>> IT'S VERY MUCH INSPIRED BY

BEAD WORK ITSELF.

AND REALLY PAYING TRIBUTE TO

THAT ART FORM.

AND TO WHAT IT MEANT.

BUT IN A BROAD ASPECT ALSO,

REALLY PAYING TRIBUTE TO MY

GRANDMOTHER WHO WAS ONE OF

THE -- I'M GOING TO GET A LITTLE

EMOTIONAL, SORRY -- ONE OF THE

FINEST BEAD WORK WOMAN, ARTIST,

THAT I'VE KNOWN.

>> Adrienne: WE'LL INTRODUCE TO

YOU TO TWO DESIGNERS AS THEY

A HISTORIC SHOWING AT THE

PARALYMPIC GAMES IS DETERMINED

TO USE HIS SUCCESS TO INSPIRE

OTHERS.

MARK ARENDZ HAD A DIFFICULT

START IN LIFE, SUFFERING A

TRAUMATIC INJURY WHEN HE WAS

JUST 7 YEARS OLD.

LIFE HAS BEEN ABOUT THRIVING IN

THE FACE OF HIS DISABILITY AND

HE'S BRINGING THAT MESSAGE HOME.

>> HOW MANY IS THAT?

>> ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE.

>> WHAT ABOUT THIS GUY?

>> SIX.

>> SIX.

>> WHY DO YOU HAVE A HOOK ON

YOU?

>> BECAUSE I LOST MY HAND.

>> Reporter: MARK ARENDZ IS

ANSWERING TRICKY QUESTIONS WHEN

IT COMES TO CHILDREN.

WHEN ARENDZ WAS 7, HE TRIPPED

AND FELL INTO A GRAIN AUGER ON

HIS FAMILY FARM ON PRINCE EDWARD

ISLAND.

HE TRIED TO USE HIS HANDS TO

CATCH HIS FALL.

>> MY RIGHT LANDED ON THE

SHIELD, SO IT WAS FINE.

BUT MY LEFT, DID LAND ON THE

ACTUAL SHIELDING OF THE MACHINE.

BUT ONLY BEING 7, IT KIND OF

WENT RIGHT THROUGH AND THEN

INSTANTLY, I WAS STUCK UP TO MY

SHOULDER THE MACHINE.

>> HIS YOUNGER BROTHER CAME IN

THE BARN, YELLING AND RUNNING,

THERE IS SOMETHING WITH MARK.

SO I RUSHED OUT AND THEN WE

FOUND HIM LAYING IN THE AUGER.

>> Reporter: ARENDZ WAS

AIR-LIFTED TO THE REGION

CHILDREN HOSPITAL IN HALIFAX IN

CRITICAL CONDITION.

THAT IS WHERE HIS ARM WAS

AMPUTATED.

>> THE FIRST NIGHT I WASN'T EVEN

CONCERNED ABOUT HIS ARM, BECAUSE

AT THAT TIME HIS LIFE WAS IN

DANGER.

THERE WAS ONLY, YOU KNOW, LESS

THAN 50% CHANCE HE WOULD MAKE

IT.

>> Reporter: WHEN IT BECAME

CLEAR MARK WOULD SURVIVE, HIS

PARENTS GREW CONCERNED ABOUT HIS

FUTURE.

>> WELL, IT WAS VERY WORRISOME

BECAUSE YOU START THINKING, WHAT

IS HE GOING TO DO WITH ONE HAND?

>> Reporter: BUT MARK WOULD GO

ON TO DO A GREAT DEAL, ONLY A

MONTH OF HIS ACCIDENT, HE WAS

RUNNING AND PLAYING.

ALTHOUGH, STILL TERRIFIED BY THE

SIGHT OF A TRUCK DELIVERING

GRAIN.

AT THAT TIME, HIS GREATEST

OBSTACLE WAS TYING HIS SHOES.

HE WENT BACK TO VELCRO FOR A

YEAR UNTIL HE SAW ANOTHER CHILD

WHO HAD ONE ARM.

>> A LITTLE GIRL WITH PINK DRESS

AND PINK SHOES.

THERE WERE OTHER KIDS, BUT THIS

PARTICULAR GIRL TIED HER SHOES.

AND SOMETHING HAPPENED IN MARK I

THINK.

HE WAS SO DETERMINED THAT HE

WANTED TO TIE HIS SHOES, TOO.

>> Reporter: TWO DAYS LATER, HE

COULD DO IT.

IT WAS PERHAPS THE FIRST EXAMPLE

OF HIS CONVICTION WHEN IT COMES

TO SETTING GOALS.

HE WOULD GO ON TO BE A WAR AMPS

VOLUNTEER.

A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT.

>> THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST

DIFFICULT OF THE PROJECTS.

>> Reporter: AND A BIATHLETE,

FIRST WITH CADETS COMPETING

AGAINST ABLE BODIED ATHLETES

BEFORE REACHING THE PARALYMPICS

IN VANCOUVER IN 2010.

THAT'S WHERE A CHILDHOOD DREAM

TO BE AMONG THE BEST IN THE

WORLD BECAME A TARGET.

HE CAME CLOSER IN SOCHI, 2014,

BY MISSING GOLD BY .7 OF A

SECOND.

IT ALL CAME TOGETHER.

>> HASN'T MISSED A SHOT ALL DAY.

>> Reporter: IT CAME TOGETHER IN

PYEONGCHANG, SIX RACES, SIX

MEDALS.

AND FINALLY THE GOLD MEDAL WILL

BE HIS.

>> Reporter: MORE THAN ANY

CANADIAN HAS ACHIEVED IN A SING

THE WINTER GAMES.

>> EVERYTHING WENT PERFECT FOR

ME ON THAT DAY, WINNING GOLD.

IT WAS A RELIEF.

IT'S BEEN A GOAL FOR EIGHT YEARS

AND FINALLY TO STEP ON THE

PODIUM AND HEAR THAT NAME, HEAR

MY NAME, PARALYMPIC CHAMPION,

AND THEN "O CANADA" PLAYING AND

THE MAPLE LEAF.

>> Reporter: HE WAS ON TOP OF

THE WORLD.

>> YEAH, THIS HASN'T REALLY

CHANGED THAT MUCH.

>> Reporter: NOW LIVING IN

CANMORE, ALBERTA, HE'S COME BACK

TO THE MARITIMES TO SHARE HIS

SUCCESS WITH THE PEOPLE WHO

SAVED HIS LIFE.

>> IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU.

>> Reporter: JENNIFER MUIRHEAD

HAS BEEN A NURSE IN THE IWK

SINCE MARK WAS A CHILD.

>> IT'S NICE TO KNOW YOU'VE MADE

THAT CONNECTION WITH THE FAMILY

AND 21 YEARS LATER, YOU STILL

HAVE IT.

>> ALL UNITS HAVE A PLAYROOM.

>> Reporter: FOR MARK, IT'S THE

CONNECTION WITH THE CHILDREN

THAT MATTERS MOST.

>> LET YOU GET COMFORTABLE

THERE.

>> I'VE BEEN HERE A LONG TIME.

>> Reporter: ELI IS 11 YEARS

OLD.

>> THIS IS THE LOGO FROM

PYEONGCHANG.

RIGHT HERE IS WHAT EVENT I WON

THE MEDAL IN.

>> WOW.

CONGRATULATIONS.

>> THANK YOU.

>> YOU HAVE THREE MORE!

>> Reporter: AND WHEN HE'S HERE,

HE HAS ALL THE TIME IN THE

WORLD.

>> WHY IS THAT ONE SILVER?

>> BECAUSE I WAS SECOND PLACE IN

THAT RACE.

>> YEAH, BUT HOW DID YOU WIN ALL

THEM?

>> I HAD TO SKI REALLY FAST.

>> Reporter: FOUR-YEAR-OLD

ELLIOTT HAS CEREBRAL PALSY, MARK

WANTS HIM AND ALL CHILDREN TO

KNOW THERE WILL BE BETTER DAYS.

>> I WANTED TO INSPIRE THAT

DREAMING IS A GOAL AND THEY CAN

CHASE AFTER THE GOAL.

>> I LIKE YOUR ARM.

>> THANK YOU.

>> IT'S FUNNY.

>> YEP.

I CAN DO THAT.

>> Reporter: FOR HIM, A MEDAL

SMEARED WITH FINGERPRINTS AND

WORN RIBBONS, MEANS HE'S DONE

SOMETHING RIGHT.

>> I WANT AS MANY PEOPLE AS I

CAN TO HOLD THEM AND IN THAT

MOMENT, BE INSPIRED TO DO

WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS IT WAS THE

ACCIDENT THAT TAUGHT HIM THE

IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY.

>> THE DAY AFTER MY ACCIDENT, 12

STRANGERS CAME TO THE FARM TO --

AND SOME HAD NEVER STEPPED FOOT

ON A FARM AND THEY JUST WANTED

TO BE THERE TO HELP.

WHATEVER THEY COULD DO, THEY

WANTED TO HELP.

>>

>> Reporter: BACK HOME ON

P.E.I., HIS PARENTS COULDN'T BE

MORE PROUD.

>> THEY HELPED HIM WHEN HE WAS

IN NEED, SO IF YOU CAN GIVE BACK

TO THAT BY -- OH, SORRY --

>> Reporter: WITH THE NEXT

GENERATION OF LITTLE HANDS

HOLDING THE RESULTS OF BIG

DREAMS, MARK ARENDZ HAS ALREADY

SET ANOTHER GOAL.

HE CIRCLED THE DATE ON HIS

CALENDAR FOR BEIJING 2022.

>> ONLY 1400 MORE DAYS.

[LAUGHTER].

KAYLA HOUNSELL, CBC NEWS,

HALIFAX.

>> Adrienne: THAT WAS GREAT.

SO LET'S CHANGE THE PACE WITH

OUR "MOMENT OF THE DAY", BECAUSE

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED.

EVERYONE KNOWS THAT.

AND ONCE AGAIN, IT WAS PROVEN

TRUE THIS TIME IN ALBERTA FOR A

MAN JUST GALLANTLY TRYING TO

HELP GEESE CROSS THE ROAD.

THE GEESE WERE NOT GRATEFUL AND

THE WHOLE I FAIR WAS CAUGHT ON

TAPE.

OH, MY GOODNESS, OH, HE MIGHT

HIT HIS HEAD.

THE POOR GUY, JUST TRYING TO

HELP.

>> WANT SOME HELP?

>> I DON'T KNOW.

>> I COULD.

>> NO, HE CAN DO IT.

POOR LITTLE THING, JUST PICK HIM

UP.

DON'T PARK IT IN THE MIDDLE.

OH, THERE HE GOES.

>> Adrienne: THIS IS DANGEROUS

BUSINESS.

I HAVE TO SAY I LIKE THE FACT

THIS IS NOT EVEN THE BEST

EDMONTON GOOSE STORY IN THE PAST

MONTH.

JUST LAST MONTH A MAN HAD TO

CALL POLICE BECAUSE ONE OF THOSE

THINGS TOOK HIS CAR KEYS AND THE

COPS SAID THIS IS SOMETHING TORE

WILDLIFE CONTROL AND THEY WERE

BUSY A MOOSE, IT'S DANGEROUS.

>> Andrew: SORRY, WHAT?

WHY WASN'T THAT THE MOMENT OF

THE DAY?

THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER.

AS THE PARENT OF A 3-YEAR-OLD

NOT ALL HELP IS NEEDED OR

WANTED.

A UNIVERSAL TRUTH.

THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR

FRIDAY, JUNE 1.

HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.
