GOOD MORNING, SARAH. >> HI KIM. NICE TO BE BACK AT ITS NICE TO SEE YOU AND CAN’T WAIT TO GET INTO THIS TOPIC. SO I GUESS THE FIRST QUESTION, I GUESS I SHOULD ASK. >> WHY ARE PEOPLE FALLING IN LOVE WITH AI CHATBOTS? >> YOU KNOW, THE VARIOUS LANCERS THAT PEOPLE ARE WIRED TO CONNECT. AND WHEN YOU FEEL SEEN, UNDERSTOOD EVEN BY AN OUT FOR IT, THOUGH, THE RING GIVES US THIS NICE LOVE REPORT. AND SO IT REWARDS AS PLANNED POCITOS IN FINDING CHEMICAL, DOPAMINE AND SEROTONIN. THE CATCH IT IS IN REAL LIFE IN ORDER FOR OXYTOCIN TO BE TRIGGERED, YOU NEED IN-PERSON TOUCHED, NEED EYE CONTACT AND YOU NEED THAT PHYSICAL PRESENCE OF THE PERSON. THIS IS PARTLY WHAT PEOPLE REALLY STRUGGLE THROUGH. COVID. AND SO A HIKE IN MANNING EMOTIONAL INTIMACY. IT’S ACTUALLY TRAINED TO DO EXACTLY THAT, THAT YOU’RE NOT CHEMICAL RESPONSE. AND SO IT MIGHT FEEL LIKE LOVE, BUT THE RAIN IS REACTING TO SOMETHING THAT IS WORSE MUELLER TO EMOTIONALLY RESPONSIVE. THAT’S WHEN THIS HAPPENED. >> SO I GUESS TO EXPAND ON WHAT YOU WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT WITHOUT THE PHYSICAL TOUCH THAT IS THIS TRULY HAPPENING LIKE OUR PEOPLE ACTUALLY FALLING IN LOVE WITH THESE AI CHATBOTS. >> SO YOU KNOW, I GUESS WE CAN USE THAT TERM AND FALLING IN LOVE REALLY TO SLEEP. BUT PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCING THIS. THERE WAS A RECENT STORY IN THE WHERE PEOPLE ARE NOT ONLY FALLING IN LOVE WITH CHOCOLATES, BUT ACTUALLY MARRY THEM. AND ONE GENTLEMAN SET I FELT SURE ON CONDITION ALL LOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE AND THESE RELATIONSHIPS THAT, YOU KNOW, RELATIONSHIPS, THEY ARE REALLY SAYING AND NON-JUDGMENTAL AND FOR COMPLETE, VALIDATING FOR PEOPLE. BUT THAT IS BECAUSE SOME AI MODELS AND FULL DISCLOSURE. AND THIS ALSO INCLUDES THE OPENING. I CHECKED IT, THE ARE TRAINED TO REINFORCE YOUR BELIEVES TO AGREE WITH YOU. AND THAT’S A REALLY POWERFUL REINFORCEMENT OF PEOPLE. SEE AND IT’S ADDICTIVE, BUT YOU CAN ACTIVATE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF TRACKING, YOU CAN SAY OR DO NOT DELIVER. AGREE WITH ME TONIGHT. FROM THERE, I SAY, BUT THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING. PEOPLE ARE WEAKER ADDICTED TO EMOTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS THEY’RE HAVING WITH AI. >> SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR OUR BRAINS AND RELATIONSHIPS? >> SO I SAY 2 PEOPLE WERE REALLY ENTERING AN ERA OF WHAT IS PUT INTELLECTUAL AND EMOTIONAL LEVELLING. AND I IS ALWAYS AGREEING REVIEW ITS DOCKET, YOUR MOVEMENTS. EWING’S, YOUR THOUGHTS BUT RELATIONSHIPS ARE MASK RIGHT KNEE CHALLENGES THAT REQUIRE NEGOTIATION AND DISCOMFORT. THE REAL THREAT HERE IS IF YOUNGER GENERATIONS STARTS SUBSTITUTING AI AND ENSURE OR HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS. WE’RE GOING TO SEE A WEAKENING IN THE NEURAL CIRCUITRY FOR THINGS LIKE AFTER THE EMOTIONAL RESILIENCE AND EVEN PATIENTS. AND THIS WILL IMPACT US AS A SOCIETY BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL LOSE THE ABILITY TO HAVE PATIENTS WITH ANYONE THAT DOESN’T AGREE WITH. SO IT’S A REALLY SCARY FROM A LONG-TERM PERSPECTIVE. WE THINK ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCE. >> YEAH, FOR SURE. IT SOUNDS THEN IS THIS THE FUTURE OF LOVE SHE WOULD BE, SHOULD WE BE WORRIED? >> WELL, I THINK WE DON’T HAVE TO BE THE FUTURE OF LOVE. WE SHOULD BE I WAS GOING TO CONTINUE TO EVOLVE. IT IS GOING TO THE POINT OF BECOMING SELF WHERE, YOU KNOW, READY, REMEMBER, THINGS LIKE ASKED WHETHER STATIONS AND HELP YOU AND THEY CAN ANTICIPATE THE THINGS THAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR CAN ANTICIPATE YOUR NEEDS THAT’S RELEASE ADOPTED AND DANGEROUS. YOU DON’T HAVE REAL COOPERATION STEPS TO GRAB. SO THE KEY TAKEAWAY HERE IS THIS HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS, OUR BEST. WE NEED FACE-TO-FACE INTERACTION. WE NEED TO LOOK OUT FOR OVER-RELIANCE ON INTERACTING WITH ERRANT SHOTS BECAUSE IT FEELS, BUT WE CAN’T BE CREAM WITH ALL THE TIME. THE BEST EXAMPLE YOUR MIND USES LOOK THE BEES IN EXCUSE WHERE THEY’RE BORN PREMATURELY. THERE’S A REASON THE HUMAN TOUCH, THERE’S A REASON THEY NEED FACE TO FACE INTERACTION. IT RECOMMENDS THE HEARTBEAT, IT GIVES HIM AS YOUR ALSO, WE SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT BECOMING OVER-RELIANCE ON AI CHATBOTS THAT AGREE WITH THAT. BUT THERE ARE THINGS WE CAN DO TO TRY TO MITIGATE THESE RISKS AND MAINTAIN OUR HUMANITY. NOT YOU KNOW, ALL AI CHATBOTS, THE FUTURE. >> WELL, SARAH, THIS HAS BEEN A VERY, VERY CHAT CONTENT. I WE COULD PROBABLY TALK FOR A FEW HOURS ON THIS, BUT WE RAN OUT OF TIME. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING. THANKS SO MUCH THAT SARAH HAS A NEW BOOK, 100 WAYS TO FUTURE-PROOF YOUR BRAIN IN THE AGE OF AI. YOU CAN CHECK OUT SARAH BALL DOT COM FOR DETAILS IF YOU’D LIKE TO GRAB A COPY OF IT. WELL, COMING UP, WHY DO WE SAY WOULDN’T PUT IT PAST THEM. >> BUT WHEN SOLDIERS ARE LINING UP THERE, THE LINE OF DEFENCE, OPPOSITION GOVERNMENT, SCHOOL KEEPERS IN IN SOCCER >> WHY DO WE SAY WOULD NOT PUT IT PAST THEM. >> I PROBABLY USE THIS ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. >> GOALKEEPERS IN IN SOCCER OR FOOTBALL, IF YOU WILL. I THINK MAYBE THIS CAME FROM OVERSEAS, WOULDN’T PUT IT PAST THEM. IT’S NOT GOING TO GET BY THEM. AND AND I KNOW WE MIGHT ACTUALLY EXECUTE THAT. THAT’S A VERY LOOSE. AND I CAN’T WAIT TO FIND OUT THE REAL ANSWER. A LOT OF TIMES OPPOSITION GOVERNMENT, NO MATTER WHAT THEY WOULD DO TO PLEAD A CASE OR TO PLEAD AGAINST A PROPOSED BILL OR LEGISLATION. >> THEY KNEW THAT THE GOVERNMENT POWER WAS STILL GOING TO DO WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO. SO NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAID. THEY HAD NO CONTROL OVER WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, EVEN IF THEIR ARGUMENTS WERE VERY GOOD AND VERY SOUND. THEY WOULD SAY I WOULDN’T PUT IT PAST THEM. >> I’M WHAT TIME WHEN SOLDIERS ARE LINING UP THERE. THE LINE OF DEFENCE. AND SO YOU KNOW, THE ENEMY WOULD SAY I WOULDN’T PUT IT PAST THEM, DO NOT GO PAST THAT LINE OF DEFENCE THINGS ARE SKETCHY, THINGS ARE NOT GOOD. IF YOU GO PAST THAT, SO DO NOT PUT IT PAST THEM. MILITARY TERM. THE EXPRESSION, I WOULDN’T PUT IT PAST HIM ARE, WOULDN’T PUT IT PAST THEM. WE SEE IN THE LATE 1800’S TO BE INTERPRETED PAST AS BEYOND. AND IT WOULD BE SOME KIND OF IMMORAL ACTIVITY. AND SO SO THE PERSON YOU ARE, YOU ARE ASSESSING THAT THIS IS NOT BEYOND WHAT THEY WOULD DO IN SOME CARS AND MORE AWAY. WE’RE NOT SURE WHY IT’S PUT. IT PAST THEM AS OPPOSED TO THINK IT PAST THEM ARE SET IT PAST THEM. BUT AGAIN, MAYBE IT HAS JUST A NICE RING TO IT, PUT >> WE’RE COMING UP ON 8 O’CLOCK ON MONDAY, JULY 21ST. WELCOME BACK TO THE WORKWEEK. A VERY NICE FLYOVER THROUGH THE CTV NEWS DRONE OR GOING OVER THE RIVER FOR VALLEY. IT IS A BIT TO GLOOMY OUTSIDE, MIXED IN WITH A BIT OF SMOKE. HOPEFULLY THE RAIN WE’RE GETTING TODAY, STARTING AT 9 O’CLOCK SHOWERS ALL DAY WILL HELP OUT WITH THAT SMOKE. RIGHT NOW WE’RE SITTING AT 14 DEGREES THAT HASN’T CHANGED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS IN THE WIND IS QUITE CALM NOW, BUT IT WILL PICK UP LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON. SO THE FUTURE CAST, IT DOES SAY THAT MOST OF THIS COMES THROUGH THE EDMONTON REGION, STARTING JUST AFTER 8 45 9 O’CLOCK THIS MORNING AND THE SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE. THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS SEEMS LIKE IT’S COMING AFTER 1 O’CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON, THEN IT KIND OF PETERS OFF. AND THEN TOMORROW WE’RE LEFT WITH A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUD AND A HIGH OF 19 DEGREES. SUNNY WEATHER ON WEDNESDAY AND A HIGH OF 24. THEN WE’RE GOING TO BE CLOSER TO 30 DEGREES ON THURSDAY. SO WARM TEMPERATURES HOT. I WOULD SAY IF YOU CLOSE TO 30 AND THEN LOTS OF SUNSHINE.

TOW TRUCK IS NOW ON THE SCENE. SO LOOKS LIKE THAT IS GOING TO IMPROVE SOON. THINGS ARE SLOWING DOWN ON WEST WHITE MIND HEADING EAST THROUGH ALL THAT CONSTRUCTION WITH THE TERWILLEGAR DRIVE AND THE RAINBOW VALLEY BRIDGE ALSO GOING TO BE SLOW AGAIN COMING INTO THE CITY ON THE QEII AS THEY CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE RIGHT-HAND LANE AFTER HIGHWAY 19. WAS EVEN TALKING ABOUT IN THE NEWSCAST HAS BEEN NEARLY ONE YEAR SINCE A WILDFIRE SWEPT THROUGH JASPER, DESTROYING A 3RD OF THE BUILDINGS IN TOWN. IT WAS JULY 24TH 2024 25,000 PEOPLE HAD TO FLEE THE NATIONAL PARK AND TOWNSITE AND IT WAS WEEKS BEFORE PEOPLE LIVING IN JASPER COULD RETURN WHEN THEY DID, THEY BEGAN A TREMENDOUS REBUILD THAT CONTINUES TODAY. WE’RE JOINED BY CONRAD SAUVE, WHO IS THE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE CANADIAN RED CROSS, WHO IS IN JASPER FOR US THIS MORNING. SO GOOD MORNING. THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. LET’S LET’S BEGIN WITH A YEAR AGO ON THURSDAY. CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE EFFORT FROM THE RED CROSS IN JASPER? >> YEAH, NO, ABSOLUTELY. A PLEASURE TO BE HERE. I THINK IT WAS A TREMENDOUS RELIEF OPERATION, AS YOU KNOW, 25,000 BOTH AND OF COURSE, RESIDENTS EVACUATED, EVACUATED MOSTLY TO ALBERTA, BUT SOMEWHAT TO ABC AND THE EFFORTS OF ALL BUT AMONG OTHER THINGS. THE RED CROSS WAS TO IMMEDIATE SHELTER, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DIRECTLY TO PEOPLE. AND OF COURSE, SMALL BUSINESSES AS WELL IN THAT MOMENT. BUT BUT AS YOU MENTIONED, A TREMENDOUS EFFORT TO SUPPORT OF THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN WERE EVACUATED. >> AND THAT CERTAINLY LASTED FOR WEEKS AS PEOPLE WAITED TO GET BACK INTO THE TOWN SITE. AND THEN AFTER THAT, WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE WITH THE RED CROSS NOW RE STILL IN THE COMMUNITY. YES, ABSOLUTELY. AND I THINK, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SEE, OF COURSE, AND WE TALKED, WE START WITH THE RELIEF OPERATIONS AND THEN >> IF THE REBUILD YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, THERE’S A LOT TO CELEBRATE IN TERMS OF THE COORDINATION AND THE HARD WORK OF EVERYBODY. PUTIN DURING THE RELIEF PART, BUT THAT THERE ARE MANY CHALLENGES AHEAD IN TERMS OF REBUILDING. AND OF COURSE, NOT ALL THE COMMUNITIES AFFECTED THE SAME WAY SOME PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR HOMES. AND AMONG THE DIFFERENT CHALLENGES, OF COURSE, IS YOU, YOU HAD A HOUSING, A SHORTAGE IN JASPER PRIOR TO THE FIRES. AND YOU ELIMINATE ABOUT 30% OF THE HOUSING. SO THERE’S CHALLENGES IN IN TERMS OF INTERMEDIARY HOUSING, BUT ALSO THE WHOLE REBUILD THAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE MONTHS AHEAD. SO THE RED CROSS IS PRESENT TO SUPPORT PEOPLE IN IN THE YEAR I HAD IN THE YEARS AHEAD. >> WHAT’S THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE FOR THE RED CROSS IN HELPING OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. I THINK THE BIGGEST TO SIZE ONE INTERMUNE, THE YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THERE’S THERE’S WE CAN, WE CAN SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY WITH THE INTERMEDIATE HOUSING. >> AND THEN THERE’S A LOT OF GAPS FOR PEOPLE IN THE REBUILD INSURANCE DOESN’T COVER EVERYTHING AND YOU WANT TO REBUILD AND REBUILD BETTER. SO SUPPORTING INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE LOST THEIR HOMES IN THIS RECOVERY JOURNEY IS GOING TO BE BIGGEST AREA OF WORK OF THE RED CROSS IN THE COMING MONTHS. >> NOW WE CONTINUE TO SEE THINGS LIKE THIS. THE JASPER FIRE, THE FORT MCMURRAY FIRE FLOODING IN THIS PROVINCE, THAT’S JUST IN ALBERTA ALONE. MORE AND MORE OFTEN, THESE TYPES OF DISASTERS. HOW DOES THE RED CROSS KEEP UP? >> WE GOT THE RIGHT AND I’M JUST BACK FROM A MANITOBA LAST WEEK WHERE WE’RE SEEING ONE OF THE BIGGEST EVACUATIONS IN RECENT HISTORY. AGAIN, I THINK I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT THESE ARE NO LONGER EXCEPTIONAL EVENTS. I THINK THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE RED CROSS, BUT COLLECTIVELY AS CANADIANS, WE NEED START REALIZING THAT WE’RE GOING TO SEE MORE OF THESE TYPES OF EVENTS AND WE NEED TO LESS REACTIVE IN AND START BEING BETTER PREPARED FOR BECAUSE THAT WILL BE MORE OF THESE, AS YOU SAID IN THE FUTURE FOR THE RED CROSS. WE NEED TO INCREASE OUR OUR BASE CAPACITY AROUND CAPACITY TO RESPOND. USED TO BE, WE’D HAVE ONE EXCEPTIONAL EVENT A YEAR. NOW WE’RE SEEING A SEASON OF EVENTS. SO THIS IS THIS IS A NEW REALITY THAT AGAIN, NOT JUST THE RED CROSS, BUT COLLECTIVELY, WE NEED ADDRESS AS CANADIANS. DO YOU THINK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT TO DOING ENOUGH? I I THINK IT’S COLLECTIVE, IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT, IT’S ABOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT’S. IT’S A EFFORT. AND AND OF COURSE, AT THE COMMUNITY LEVEL IN THE MUNICIPAL LEVEL AS WELL. THE SOLUTIONS ARE ARE GOING TO BE IN IN A A IN HOW WE WORK TOGETHER. >> AND AGAIN, HOW DO PUT MECHANISMS IN PLACE TO BE BETTER PREPARED? SO SO NOT JUST ONE. >> LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT, THE COLLECTIVE CONNOR. AND SO THESE WITH THE CANADIAN RED CROSS IS IN JASPER AS A. >> WE COME UP ON THE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE WILDFIRE THERE.

SO WE WERE THE FIRST TEAM TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. EVERYBODY WANTS TO WIN THE RACE BY ACTUALLY BEATING THE OTHER TEAMS.

MAJOR DELAYS AS A RESULT BACKING THINGS UP TO A CASHMAN CRESCENT EMERGENCY VEHICLES ARE THERE ON THE SCENE, THAT’S GOING TO A SLOW THINGS DOWN IN THAT AREA FOR THE NEXT LITTLE WHILE AS THEY RESPOND ELSEWHERE THROUGH THE CITY, THOUGH, MOSTLY GREEN ON THE MAP, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF RED ON THE WHITEMAN AND THEN COMING IN ON THE QEII THROUGH THAT ROAD CONSTRUCTION. SO PRE IT GOOD, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED COMMUTE. 18 MINUTES HAD A 9 O’CLOCK HERE ON MONDAY MORNING. >> PROGRAMMING BROUGHT TO YOU BY A FEDERATED CO-OP’S. FIND >> ASC BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE ALBERTA SECURITIES COMMISSION. >> WELL, THESE DAYS ANYONE CAN PRESENT THEMSELVES AS A FINANCIAL EXPERT ONLINE, BUT NOT ALL THE ISSUE OF THE INFORMATION IS PROVIDED BY QUALIFIED WERE WELL-INTENTIONED INDIVIDUALS. HILARY MCMEEKIN FROM ALBERTA, CA SECURITIES COMMISSION IS HERE WITH ADVICE TO AVOID BEING FIT INFLUENCED, WHICH IS A GREAT TERM THAT WE’RE USING TODAY. GOOD MORNING, HILARY. GOOD MORNING. THANKS FOR HAVING ME. SO TELL US WHAT IS OF FOOD INFLUENCER. YOU KNOW, IT’S SOMEBODY THAT COULD IS ON SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS, USES ALL THE CHANNELS TO SHARE INFORMATION. >> ABOUT FINANCE OR INVESTING OR >> MONEY IN GENERAL. SO THEY THEY TEND TO BE A CREATOR AND THEY TEND TO WANT TO EITHER BE ENTERTAINING OR PROVIDING GOOD INFORMATION THEY MIGHT BE EDUCATING TO IN. AND THOSE ARE GOOD THINGS. IT’S JUST WHEN THEY DIP INTO PROVIDING INVESTMENT ADVICE THAT THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES AND NOT ALL OF THEM ARE. >> SO WHY ARE FINFLUENCERS GETTING ATTENTION FROM REGULATORS? GREAT QUESTION. SO WE KNOW THAT A LOT OF YOUNG INVESTORS IN PARTICULAR ARE RELYING ON THE INFORMATION THAT SHARED THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA. SO WE HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE PEOPLE ARE GETTING THIS INFORMATION FROM. AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU ARE PROMOTING INVESTMENTS ONLINE, IT YOU’RE PROMOTING HIS STOCK OR YOU’RE PROMOTING CRYPTO >> OR OR YOU’RE TRYING TO CONVINCE SOMEBODY GIVING INVESTMENT ADVICE >> YOU NEED TO BE REGISTERED TO DO THAT. THAT’S A PROFESSIONAL FINANCIAL ROLE AND THAT THAT REQUIRES REGISTRATION BY SECURITIES REGULATOR LIKE HE A A C. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE GIVING THAT KIND OF INVESTMENT ADVICE ARE FOLLOWING THE RULES. THAT’S WHY WE’RE PAYING ATTENTION TO THEM RIGHT NOW. >> SO IT SOUNDS LIKE SOME OF THESE FINFLUENCERS ARE WELL-INTENTIONED. THEY WANT TO EDUCATE PEOPLE RIGHT? BUT SO WHAT CAN THEY DO? AND THEN AT WHAT POINT DOES IT CROSS THE LINE? GREAT, GREAT. SO WHAT CAN THEY DO? THEY CAN PROVIDE US INFORMATION, RIGHT? IF WE’VE NEVER HEARD OF A TFSA. >> OR WE DON’T KNOW HOW TO NAVIGATE SOME THINGS WITH OUR PEAS. ALL GOOD INFORMATION, RIGHT? HOW TO CONSIDER INVESTING, HOW TO THINK ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL PLAN. IT’S WHEN THEY DIP INTO THAT AREA OF ADVICE LIKE IT SAYS IN THE SCREEN, GUARANTEEING RETURNS OR THEY DON’T DISCLOSE THAT THEY’RE BEING COMPENSATED BY A COMPANY FOR PROMOTING THAT COMPANY, RIGHT? SO IF THEY’RE TOUTING OR PROMOTING A STOCK AND THEY DON’T DISCLOSE THAT THEY’RE ACTUALLY EMPLOYED BY THAT COMPANY. THAT’S WRONG. THAT’S THAT ISN’T, THAT ISN’T APPROPRIATE. SO THAT’S WHEN YOU REALLY NEED TO KEEP YOUR KEEP YOUR SPIDEY SENSES ON, SO THAT YOU’RE LISTENING FOR THAT KIND OF INFORMATION. GENERAL EDUCATION, ALL GOOD PROMOTIONS, YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY’RE REGISTERED TO BE GIVING YOU THAT KIND OF ADVICE. >> FOR SURE, IT WAS SOME OF THESE FINFLUENCERS THAT THEY CAN BE VERY CONVINCING. THEY MAY COME OFF AS VERY TRUSTWORTHY, BUT HOW CAN WE PROTECT OURSELVES WHEN WE SEE INVESTING CONTENT ONLINE? >> WELL, THE NUMBER STEP NUMBER ONE STEP IS TO GO TO CHECK FIRST DOT CA. IT’S A 24/7 RESOURCE AVAILABLE FOR YOU. YOU CAN VERIFY, VERIFY THE REGISTRATION OF ANYONE. SO IT, YOU KNOW, GO ON THERE, GO ON TO CHECK FIRST DOT CA AND SEE WHETHER OR NOT THE PERSON THAT YOU’RE LISTENING TO IS REGISTERED TO BE SELLING THAT INVESTMENT ALSO PAY ATTENTION TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE BEING PAID. THEY SHOULD DISCLOSE THAT THEY’RE PROMOTING. AND THEN IN GENERAL, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY INVESTMENTS, MAKE SURE IT’S THE RIGHT INVESTMENT FOR YOU. IT MIGHT BE A LEGITIMATE INVESTMENT, BUT IT’S JUST NOT RIGHT FOR YOU. AND THAT’S OKAY. THERE WILL BE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY DOWN THE ROAD. SO IT’S REALLY ABOUT DOING OUR OWN HOMEWORK BEFORE WE PUT OUR MONEY INTO SOMETHING THAT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP. >> OKAY, HILLARY, THANK YOU SO MUCH. ONCE AGAIN FOR ALL YOU ARE FANTASTIC INFORMATION. HAVE A GREAT REST OF YOUR WEEK. >> THANK YOU. THANKS FOR HAVING >> ASK ASC BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE ALBERTA SECURITIES COMMISSION VISIT CHECK FIRST DOT CA SLASH ASK. >> STILL AHEAD, A PHONE OFFERING A CONNECTION. 2 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LOST. >> ALL THESE YEARS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A SIGN AND MAYBE IT’S JUST ME, I GOT IT. PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL. >> PROGRAMMING BROUGHT >> WE’RE COMING UP TO 9 O’CLOCK HERE AND A LOOK THROUGH THE CTV NEWS, DRONE TRAFFIC LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. WE’LL REALLY REALLY ONLY HAD A COUPLE OF COLLISIONS ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY SO FAR. IN AND OUT OF DOWNTOWN LOOKS FANTASTIC. SO THAT’S GROAT BRIDGE FLOWING NICELY IN BOTH DIRECTIONS ARE SITTING AT 15 DEGREES RIGHT NOW AND THE WIND IS SOMEWHAT COMMON. 11 KILOMETRES AN HOUR THAT’S GOING TO PICK UP LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON. SO WITH THE SHOWERS STARTING REALLY SOON, IF NOT ALREADY IN YOUR PART, WHERE YOU’RE TUNING IN FROM. IN THE FUTURE CAST, THE HEAVIEST AMOUNT DOES LOOK LIKE IT’S HAPPENING AFTER 1 O’CLOCK. SO THE EARLY PARTS OF THE AFTERNOON REALLY GOING TO SEE IT COME DOWN AND THEN LATER ON TODAY, IT’S GOING TO START PETERING OFF. AND THEN TOMORROW, A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUD AND A HIGH OF 19 DEGREES. AS WE LOOK AT THE 10 DAY, WE’RE PRETTY MUCH AVERAGE. THERE’S A COUPLE OF AREAS WHERE MUCH WARMER THAN THAT CLOSE TO 30 DEGREES ON THURSDAY. SO ONCE WE’RE DONE WITH THIS PRECIPITATION TODAY, DOESN’T LOOK LIKE THERE’S ANY MOISTURE IN TILL SUNDAY, WHERE AVERAGE FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK, BUT LOTS OF SUNSHINE AND WANTS ON THE WAY. CAN’T. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. KIM WAS A PHONE THAT DOES NOT RING, IT’S NOT CONNECTED TO A LINE. AND INSTEAD THE WORDS OF SAID TO BE CARRIED AND THE WIND. HE’S THERE FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST LOVED ONES AND WANT TO EXPRESS THEIR FEELINGS WITH MORE. HERE’S CTV’S ADAM SAWATSKY. >> DAVID AND HIS DOG ARE WALKING ALONG THE WATER, NOT FAR FROM WHERE HE AND HIS SIBLINGS ONCE RENTED A BOAT TO SAY GOODBYE TO THEIR PARENTS AT SEA. >> REPORT OF THE ASHES AND A FAMILY OF ORCAS STARTED JUMPING AND THE THE CAPTAIN SAID, WOW, YOU CAN TO THE SCRIPT, IT ANY BETTER. >> AND EVER SINCE DAVID’S BEEN HOPING TO SEE SOME OTHERS SERENDIPITOUS SIDE. >> YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY SAYS, OH, YOU KNOW, I I’M HEARING IN HERE AND IT’S BEEN. >> IT’S SILENT FOR ME. AND THEN HE HAPPENED UPON THIS, BUT SOMEONE SET UP ALONG THE PATH. AN INVITATION ACCORDING TO THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO COMMUNICATE WITH LOVED ONES. YOU’VE LOST BY PHONE. WHAT WOULD I SAY RIGHT? NOT READY. SO DAVID LEFT THE PHONE. I WALK DOWN THE PATH IN TEARS, BUT THE PHONE DIDN’T LEAVE HIM. I WAS MOVED TIMES TOUCH. AND THE NEXT DAY HE’S RETURNED. THE REALLY SPECIAL IDEA. THE SIGN SAYS IT’S A WIND PHONE INSPIRED BY AN UNCONNECTED PHONE BOOTH IN JAPAN TO CONNECT WITH THE DEAD FOLLOWING A DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKE. THE NUMBER HE STARTED DIALING AS A KID AND NEVER STOP CALLING AS A GROWN-UP ON HIS OLD HOME PHONE NOW DISPLAYED AT HIS PLACE AFTER HAVING TO SELL HIS PARENTS EVERY SUNDAY. GOT A CALL MOM. NO, EVERY TIME THERE’S A HOCKEY GAME GOT A CALL THAT. BUT TODAY, THIS IS NOT A CALL DAVID CAN COMPLETE. I CAN’T DO THAT TODAY. I’M NOT READY FOR THAT BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THE NOTEBOOK BESIDE THE PHONE IS FILLED WITH MESSAGES FROM OTHER FOLKS FEELING GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY WHAT THEY WISH THEY HAD. DAVID IS WANTING TO HEAR WHAT HE NO LONGER CAN JUST REASSURING. REASSURING THAT IT’S ALL OKAY. BUT HOW CAN WE REALLY HEAR THE WIND PHONE SEEMS TO SAY UNLESS WE LISTEN. >> AND ALL THESE YEARS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A SIGN AND MAYBE IT’S JUST ME, I GOT IT. PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL. >> AND WHEN HE’S READY FOR THAT, DAVID NOW KNOWS HE DOESN’T HAVE TO HAPPEN UPON A WIND PHONE AT ANY TIME. HE CAN PICK UP THAT OLD HOME PHONE AND REALLY HEAR EVERYTHING IS OK. ADAM SAWATSKY, CTV NEWS, VICTORIA. >> I LIKE THAT. IT’S LIKE AN OLD-SCHOOL PHONE AND NOT JUST CELL PHONE IS NICE FOR SURE. LOOKS LIKE WE GOT INTO THE RAIN A LITTLE BIT. LY. >> JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER. SO IF IT HASN’T ALREADY STARTED YOUR AERIAL START COMING DOWN. HEAVIEST AMOUNT WILL IN THE EARLY PART OF THE AFTERNOON. SO IF YOU’RE HEADED OFF TO K DAYS, FOR EXAMPLE, OR ANYTHING THAT’S GOING ON IN THE CITY, BRING AN UMBRELLA FOR SURE. AND A PONCHO, IF YOU HAVE, IT WILL BE WET. BUT SIR. >> SUNSHINE AND WARM TEMPERATURES ON THE WAY JUST ONE DAY IS JUST ONE DAY WE’LL GET THROUGH. YEAH. >> THINGS SHALL ON THE OTHER HAVE A GREAT REST TODAY.

He is a Conservative under skin of Liberal.
I’m betting Poilievre will be complaining,about this meeting because he wasn’t invited
smith, and her whining is so sickening. it is time we had an adult in that chair.
Prime minister conflict has been PM for 4 months has no deal. DST legislation right before negotiating was peak incompetence
Smith is complaining that her boifriend from Mar-a-Lardo is not invited.
