you you you you you this is CBC here and now that man was taken to hospital where he was later deceased 23 year-old man is now with the office of the chief medical examiner a violent confrontation in downtown st. John's last night leaves one man dead it happened outside an emergency shelter these shelters aren't providing any wraparound services at all they're just providing what are oftentimes substandard unsafe housing for individuals a CBC investigation reveals a growing need and growing cost
for these emergency shelters Public Safety will also be top of mind here at the Ken Mount Terrace community center where residents and the RNC police chief will talk about how to tackle crime in this area good evening and welcome to here and now I'm Anthony Jermaine we start tonight in st. John's where a 23 year old man is dead the victim of a violent dispute in the downtown area police were called to Bond Street yesterday evening where they found the man bleeding badly on the sidewalk here in
nows mark Quinn is following this story as is developing mark this is where it happened here on bond street behind me police were called to this scene about 24 hours ago yesterday evening they say it happened at a building not far from here I should warn people that there are some graphic images in this story and it may be disturbing to some people this is how it looked yesterday as police scoured the area for evidence someone was badly injured on the ground something that appeared to be a gun p
olice are confirming the injured man died and they're calling his death suspicious but they aren't saying much more as they wait for the results of an autopsy the rnc does not believe that this was a random act of violence well we believe that there was some acquaintance type of relationship it happened near a privately run emergency shelter but the manager of that facility says no one who lives at that home was involved there was some incident in this alley but next to the house but none of the
clients who stay here or people who involved there's no connection to this incident CBC News also spoke with a resident of that shelter who was here before and after the incident he wouldn't share his identity he said two of five people who were in this alley before the incident were former residents of the shelter the resident who spoke with CBC said he heard what he thought was a gunshot then he saw a man holding what he said looked like a firearm someone called the police now police are stil
l investigating and while they do that they aren't saying a lot about what happened here they aren't saying what weapon was used and they aren't saying if they have any suspects live in st. John's I'm Mark Quinn for here-and-now well as you heard Mark report last night's tragic incident happened outside an emergency shelter a place for people who really have nowhere else to turn and before last night's violence CBC and a veggie o Canada or investigating these shelters and just how much the provi
nce has come to rely on them and what we found was a growing need as well as spiraling costs here now is Brian cook reports when you're homeless and have nowhere to turn there's a kind of safety net in Newfoundland and Labrador private for-profit shelters these shelters aren't providing any wraparound services at all they're just providing what are oftentimes substandard unsafe housing for individuals dan Meade's works with a non profit transition Housing Association he's been critical of the fo
r-profit sector saying it doesn't focus on the long term or do enough to help people escape homelessness shelter owners are obligated to give clients meals and a bed and nothing else they make more money having those beds filled and so there's no incentive for for-profit shelter to help somebody leave the shelter we pulled the numbers on these for-profit shelters in the first half of last year one person in st. John stayed 203 straight days that's at 140 dollars a night the most expensive stay w
as 93 days at 350 a night with long stays and a high per diem the budget for emergency housing exploded last year and nobody made more than Leonard fare he took in 1.1 million dollars but he's not happy about it look I don't mind making money I love making money okay but I hate for a government wasting money and right now it's a waste of money I Fair runs four houses in st. John's his revenue has quadrupled in the last five years there's something important to understand about emergency shelters
they were always run by the Department of advanced education skills and labor until last year when it was moved to NL housing and what happened the budget for emergency housing went over by 40% costing five point 1 million dollars in nine months Len fair has his theories on why new flannel abre housing k capri pants and didn't know what we're doing and they still don't know what to do they should be following up they're going around checking on shelters fine but they're not checking on the clie
nts now it's very important to make a distinction here yes a tragedy did happen outside of an emergency shelter last night but everyone that we spoke to for this story wanted to make it clear they don't want to vilify the people who stay in these shelters they just want government to find a better way to help them and we wanted to speak with Minister Lisa Dempster for this story but she was unavailable for comment this week we did speak with End Homelessness st. John's who say they have a new fi
ve-year plan coming out soon which will address issues around emergency shelters Ryan Cooke CBC News st. John's politicians are reacting tonight to that CBC investigation including the minister responsible lisa Dempster the issue dominated the House of Assembly this afternoon and Dempster says the numbers are moving in the right direction and she insists in the last 16 months fewer people are being housed in for-profit shelters but sometimes there's just no choice we deal with very complex indiv
iduals and there's certain nonprofit that refused to take them just because they're not set up you know we're dealing with some very challenging issues here and we are working across departments in this government if this were a simple issue we'd not be having this conversation today it would have been fixed by now while staying with the theme of Public Safety my co-host Carolyn Stokes is live tonight at the can mount road community center that's where a town hall meeting is soon going to get un
derway so Carolyn what's expected to happen there tonight well Anthony this meeting has been in the works for a while and tonight area residents will have a chance to speak directly to the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Chief of Police Joe Boland now this meeting which gets underway at 7 o'clock was organized by the Area MHA Sara stood Lee and she says that she's been speaking with lots of residents who have concerns about people breaking into their houses and breaking into their cars so a lot
of talk will be about that but it will be about more than that also about neighborhood safety things like traffic concerns and noise levels so the meeting does get underway at 7 o'clock but before it gets underway the chief will join me here and we'll go live and we'll talk about crime in the city and what the police are doing about it reporting live from came out Terrace community center I'm Caroline steps [Music] another gray and rainy day for most of us across the island the low-pressure syst
em that is affecting us is gonna move offshore tonight and deepen as we head through the night we do also have some colder air a big pool of cold air to the west some of that air is gonna make its way towards us affecting the weather over the next couple of days and because of that that will deepening low and that colder air is a recipe for some snow squalls so we're looking at that risk overnight tonight along the west coast along with some wind warnings those strong winds for parts of the coas
tal Labrador and then northern northeast coast of the island as well with gusts upwards of about a hundred kilometers per hour the next weather maker moves in as we head towards the end of the week this could be the first significant snowfall for some of us we'll have all the details coming up police are investigating the sudden death of an inmate at her majesty's penitentiary in st. John's according to the department of justice and public safety the 33 year old man died earlier today RNC office

John's for processing one week later no one will say where these people are from why they
were here or where they are now the CBSA says the Privacy Act prevents it from revealing personal but in this case the agency won't even reveal the group's nationalities we do know they were taken to st. John's where quote officers conduct an immigration examination including considering whether detention is warranted at this point individuals undergo health checks to address any immediate health needs as well as security screenings to ensure that they do not pose a security threat to Canada inc

John's Antigua and Barbuda and it had travelled from Bilbao Spain to Argentia that Spanish port is known to be used by Albanian gangs to smuggle people CBC News contacted the Albanian embassy in Ottawa to determine if the stowaways were indeed Albanian the embassy all

John's dedicated to helping young people launched a review into allegations of harassment after
an anonymous email was sent to news media in May now that letter described allegations of bullying sexual harassment and abuse of power among other things choices for youth says a lawyer conducting a review of the allegations found they didn't happen the lawyer wrote the allegation of sexual misconduct was quote completely unfounded and untrue an Environmental Law charity is fighting to make sure that aquaculture is as safe as it can be for the ocean eco justice has taken its fight to court the
group argues an environmental assessment for the Indianhead hatchery expansion project in Stephenville is incomplete the government released the expansion project from environmental assessment in September of last year we think the minister was legally required to do the assessment so it's not an option but secondly I think that they it's just how they been doing it and I don't think it's effective and I don't think it's a safe way to proceed an environmental assessment should be conducted in an
y major project including these in agriculture northern harvest owned by Maui plans to expand salmon smolt production by 2.2 million fish and those smolt will go into existing salmon pens on the provinces south coast but those pens were not subject to an environmental assessment and that is the same company which recently experienced a massive salmon kill and lost 2.6 million fish those pens have never been environmentally assessed and it's time that they were but secondly when you introduced 2.
2 million fish into the environment that needs to be assessed as well it's a major change to the environment and the impacts of that volume of fish every year can make a big difference and can cause big problems I mean while the problems is aquaculture Association has said that in the past the environmental assessment on the hatchery in Stephenville is the only new part of the project and that the existing salmon pens don't need to undergo more environmental scrutiny what we've seen is the impac
ts of historical trauma is still present in the communities today we're in place so that kids don't fall through the cracks in the wake of a community crisis this Center is open to teens 24/7 more on building support in shashi a head on here now you [Music] welcome back came to work this morning was beautiful headed to the House of Assembly around two o'clock and I almost had my face windy I picked up essentially across the board today strong winds and warm temperatures it's wound up a lot right
it has its firmed up if we take a look at what the temperatures are right now we're seeing those warmer temperatures move in along the West Coast or rather on the East Coast so st. John's just bumped up two degrees in the last half hour we're sitting at 11 degrees that actually should be the high for today those temperatures were much warmer along the west coast but we've starting to see that onshore flow and that dip in temperature so five degrees right now for quarter Brook and we saw some sh
owers move through and they're gonna continue to do so over the next couple of hours those skies will clear though tonight for most of Eastern Newfoundland but along the west coast if we zoom in a little bit you can already start to see we're starting to see that onshore flow and because of that and those cooler temperatures that I mentioned we are looking at the risk of some squalls developing overnight tonight some snow score this evening rather and then continuing through the overnight tonigh
t from basing George all the way up through to the streets along the west coast now we talk about what recipe of sorts for snow squall development and three things actually have to happen and fall into place in order for those snow squalls to develop first of all we need that cold dry air to move over open water and that open water needs to be 13 degree temperature difference between that and about a kilometer and a half up in the atmosphere and then the other thing that has to happen is we need
to have the winds aligned essentially at the surface and then up where that temperature difference is 13 degrees so what happens is the moisture is picked up from that open water and then it cools and condenses we get that cloud cover and all of that moisture falls in the form of snow further inland so with some of these we are actually or sometimes we see the uplift over the terrain that actually enhances that potential for snow squall so as we head through the night tonight the models are act
ually doing a really good job at picking up those snow squalls we could see upwards of about 50 in centimeters in some of these they're gonna continue through the overnight tonight reaching as far as potentially central now we're not likely gonna see any accumulation through Central but you could see some of these squalls make it that way as well as the baver peninsula you could see a few squalls overnight tonight at least a few flurries and then up through Labrador we're looking at the cooler t
emperatures continuing so one degree for named and then you're looking at the potential for some snow as well all the way down through to about rig let through the night tonight heavy at times potentially happy valley-goose pay you're gonna see your temperature dip down to minus six so the showers that are happening should changeover to snow tonight and then we do have those temperatures in the - single digits along the west coast again with that potential for some snow squalls and the winds are
going to stay strong right across the board the strongest winds though will be along the coast of Labrador and then the northern peninsula as well as parts all the way through to Bonavista north and you're looking at gusts upwards of 100 kilometers per hour tonight now tomorrow weather-wise not a whole lot happening for most of the island we will notice a drop in temperatures though through the day with that risk of snow squalls eventually tapering to flurries through the day but then the next
weather maker moves in to the south we'll talk about that in a little bit but that moves in over and could see some snow developing with that as well and then up through Labrador we are going to stick with that snow heavy at times through the day tomorrow anywhere along the coast around the Kovach really we could see upwards of about 20 maybe even 30 centimeters of snow further inland and in those higher elevations so here's a look at your temperatures just quickly much cooler but those winds wi
ll stick around again with mix of Sun and cloud slight chance we could see a few flurries towards Grand Falls winds are up through twillie and get a wet as well thanks to those onshore flurries and then temperatures sitting in the single digits so two degrees for corner Brooke up through st. Anthony - one similar temperatures up through Cartwright as well and again gonna see that snow for most of you along the coast those northwesterly is sticking around 50 to 70 km/h and lab City you're sitting
around -5 so that's a look at the forecast for now we do have that next system moving in I'll have more details on that coming up thanks Ashley I learned a lot about snow squalls they're accurate and educational won't be long before the buses thus no public transit and st. John's couldn't be in for some big changes a long-awaited review of the Metro bus and go bus system is now complete the detailed report is packed with many recommendations including making rides free for children under 12 and
reducing wait times at bus stops to 15 minutes while Metro bus provides more than 3 million rides a year the city wants to see that number grow they personally believe transit is a build it and they will come sort of system if it's a good if it's a good service people will use it the biggest constraint on our system right now is the frequency of service so if you're relying on getting to work and your your bus only comes every 60 minutes that's a significant challenge one of the important aspec
ts of transit and improving it is getting that frequency so if you miss the bus and another one's coming 15 minutes later it's not that big of a deal you just wait and hang out and catch the next one Dwight ball says Muskrat Falls is weighing heavily on the minds of people in Newfoundland and Labrador and his minority government is working at quote righting a wrong ball made the comments at a liberal fundraiser last night 500 people attended the $500 a plate dinner at the Delta hotel ball says t

ple of Labrador the indigenous groups and while cultural background and indigenous beliefs differ between nu and Inuit people there are commonalities in their history what we've seen is the impacts of historical trauma it's still present in the communities today so what happened in the past is still affecting generations today that's why we focus on intergenerational trauma colonialism and colonization is a big is a part of it because that's how the historical trauma has happened new Nazi aboot
is just one of the groups that has jumped in to lend a hand Jordans principle is a permanent fixture on the ground in Cheshire she it is part of the outcome of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal in 2016 to better serve indigenous children we're in place so that kids don't fall through the cracks several temporary positions were advertised and quickly filled to keep the center staffed so I'm hoping that with this we can find a way to rebuild community and rebuild the youth and help them with thei

tists are using phone numbers for more than a dozen federal government departments to defraud Canadians and they're making it look like the calls are coming from real government agencies and police departments some of the calls tell potential victims their social insurance number has been compromised others are told the owe the government money and are in trouble when the potential victim checks the number that called them the scammers have spoofed it to show the phone number of the federal gove
rnment department they claim to represent like service canada the Justice Department the federal court the scheme is so sophisticated that the scammers tell the victim they'll be getting a phone call from their local police department then when the phone rings a few minutes later the scammers have spoofed the local police number last week scammers convinced Vancouver resident Andrea van Nord to take six thousand dollars from her bank account and deposited in a Bitcoin machine she's unlikely to e
ver get it back I felt like an idiot we invaded I felt dirty I felt like this was very much my fault that it was but I should have recognized the signs Jeff Thompson of the Canadian anti-fraud Center says van nerds not the only one since 2014 thousands of Canadians have fallen victim to the earlier version of the scam callers posed as Canada Revenue employees claiming the owe back taxes the CRA scam is defrauded Canadians of more than sixteen point seven million dollars now Thompson says the sca
mmers have branched out and are imitating other departments it's hitting lots of Canadians I mean it's inundating Police Department's inundating us with with a number of calls so it's a huge impact we've seen a huge spike in reporting on it on this fraud the scam is also having an impact on government services departments like the Canada Revenue Agency and Service Canada say the real bureaucrats are bogged down answering phone calls from Canadians checking to see if the call they got from the sc
ammers was legit that means slower service for all Canadians even the ones who don't fall for the scam Elizabeth Thompson CBC News Ottawa [Music] RNC Police Chief Joe Boland has arrived here at the Ken Mount terrorist community center coming up he'll speak with residents about their concerns around public safety and we'll have a chat with him as well about crime in the city it may be one of the best-known Broadway musicals ever the Phantom of the Opera opens tomorrow night in st. John's we'll ta
ke you to the dress rehearsal for phantom opera on the Avalon's and latest production you [Music] welcome back to Sheeran now I'm live at the chem Mountain Terrace community center where in a short while some residents of the area will start to gather because they want to talk about public safety they're concerned about house break-ins vehicle break-ins and about traffic in their area and one of the people that will be speaking directly to them about those concerns is RNC Chief Joe Boland and he
joins me right now so chief before we get to some of those public safety issues can we start by just talking about last night there was a violent death on Bond Street last night can you tell us what went through your mind when you got that call well first of all the first thing that goes to my mind is that you know there's a person that's deceased here and with the family so my condolences go out to them that's the very first thing it's almost like a sickness in your stomach when you hear it an
d didn't you think about you know why did this happen and you know our officers gonna be at the scene we're gonna work around the clock to try to figure this out and and I know that there's going to be you know there's going to be neighbors and and people in the community are going to be startled by this and they're gonna be nervous because of it and there's not a whole lot of information that we've heard so far about what happened people are wondering if the 23 year old man if he was shot if he
was stabbed is there anything more that you can tell us about what happened last night not it really isn't I mean it's in its infancy stage you know the investigation and our team is working hard and so those details will come out in the next you know several days and this has brought up another issue about the for-profit emergency shelters in the city this happened in front of one of those emergency shelters one of many in the city of st. John's and I'm just wondering from your perspective how
much pressure do these shelters put on the rnc yeah we'll certainly they do put pressure on us I mean you know the number of calls that we get annually to shelters is significant and the issues that we have to deal with are significant they're complex in many cases you're dealing with you know homelessness and in some cases you're dealing with mental health and and other cases you're dealing with addictions and and there's not easy solutions to some of the some of the problems that better be fa
ced with that particular portion of our population so you know that for me for the police I think it's fun you know not just to be responding like we did last night so you know when something has happened is how do we work with health and community services and how do we work with other partners within our community so that we can find solutions we have a very I think unique perspective because when it doesn't work when the system doesn't work and people fall through the cracks then there's nobo
dy falling past us we have to we have to deal with the fallout so I think it's important that we have a voice at the table and I think you're seeing that more and more now I know you know we've got a very good relationship with the Minister of Justice and with the help Minister and other ministers to try to find solutions as you say it's a very complicated situation it's something that's costing the province a fortune we heard that you know sometimes it's three hundred and fifty dollars a night
for one person to stay in one of these shelters and these are people with you know in desperate desperate situations is there any kind of fix that you can see anything more that the government should be doing to try to fix this anytime I get a chance to speak to whether it's to justice minister to health minister or other government officials or community representatives you know the city of st. John's their representatives this is a community issue and it's going to take a collaborative approac
h and it's going to be on all of us and not even say the media for that matter this is our community and you know we have a very kind and caring community we're known for that but we still had to sit and we had to collaborate and we had to understand what her role is and I know you know I was part of the change with regards to the Mental Health Mobile crisis unit and and that that was a prime example where you know police were being being asked to try to solve the health solution and and we got
it fixed like you know we're still gonna have some growing pains with it I'm not saying that every single call we get perfect but what I will say though is that we're now providing a health solution to a health problem and the police are supporting we're not leading okay so you're here for this public meeting tonight gonna meet face to face with the residents of Khem Mount Terrace why did you want to be here in person yeah so it's not the first time I've done this and you know mhh totally asked
me to come out it's very it's important first of all it's not every day that they get to go face-to-face with the chief and ask them sure I'll get difficult questions tonight but also what I'll do is I'll learn tonight I'll learn a little bit more about our community about the concerns that the people in came on terrorists you know their concerns and when I sit at tables with my people and we're strategic planning and we're looking for solutions then this will form part of those discussions what
kind of difficult questions do you think you'll get well I know one I'll get is about traffic I mean that's as Universal every Town Hall that I go to there will be a big discussion here tonight property crimes will be the fear of you know drugs and alcohol and and mental health and you know these are all real concerns in our community they're complex you know we'd all like to have more to be able to deal with it that's perhaps not the reality of our economic situation in the province so even th
ough we still got to work hard I think we had to work smarter and work together Chief Joe Boland thank you so much for coming a little bit early and speaking with me the meeting does get underway at 7 o'clock so we should start to see people showing up soon Anthony all right Carol thank you very much that Karen Stokes live in Ken Mount Terrace you heard chief Boland say he gets lots of questions about cars and traffic well so it's the same case in BC and national news video showing a rogue drive
rless car in British Columbia is raising a lot of questions about safety now this video was recorded in a Richmond BC parking lot and it shows a Tesla driving itself on the wrong side of the road the owner apparently used a new feature that summons the car automatically using a mobile app will authorities in the province say it's illegal to operate a car without a driver no kidding the Chinese government confirms that it has resumed imports of Canadian pork and beef after blocking shipments sinc
e last June giaffone Chinese authorities say they are lifting the ban because Canada remedied a problem it had with falsified export certificates they say they are resuming the imports in the hope that Canada will meet its responsibility for food safety supervision they did not mention their own increasing reliance on pork import amid the devastation of the Chinese hog industry due to African swine fever a halt in imports of Canadian canola seeds remains unchanged to arts now here at home the Ph
antom of the Opera debut is tomorrow night and st. John's it's staged by opera on the Avalon at the Arts and Culture Centre with shows that are gonna run right through the weekend and today we dropped by a dress rehearsal I think the music is so beautiful the characters are you know if they're really interesting characters but mostly I mean when you sit in the audience everyone knows all of these Tunes right so I think the costumes to set the lighting it is a spectacular and you don't often see
musicals like this done anymore mostly because they're so expensive they're difficult to do it requires a huge cast a huge crew a huge Orchestra and that's another exciting thing that the orchestra phantom is the original orchestration so this will sound just like you've heard on Broadway or anywhere else so we're really excited to bring it to st. John's for the first time there's iconic music the boat the chandelier so you know it's a for our company it's a great way to celebrate our 10th anniv
ersary when you want to have a party you want to do something like fans where the Opera we want to showcase the best of this province as well as the best of you know artists from around Canada and beyond so I think for us it's an exhilarating exciting time where it's so happy when we can showcase the best of this province and that's what I think Phantom of the Opera does I hope that at the end of the day they leave the theater after two and a half hours thinking wow what an amazing amazing show
and sometimes it's just great I mean you know everyone has difficult lives and and it's really nice to be transported out of your own life to the magic and the beauty of theater [Music] you you welcome back to the program first we start with breaking news temperatures are dropping into the - single digits so I'm gonna check in with our Caroline Stokes it is just hot with people the company says it's picking up Sam it looks like an absolutely gorgeous afternoon so breaking news at this hour polic
e are telling the public to be on the lookout for Tim Hackett he is an inmate who escaped from the West Coast Correctional Center he's described as being five foot ten and about a hundred and eighty pounds wearing dark clothing Hackett is considered dangerous and police say if you see him do not approach him and if you do spot him the public is being asked to contact the police right away and of course you can get the very latest on this developing story on our website cbc.ca slash NL all right
busy night tonight with a lot going on the weather of course the winds we talked about the temperatures where was like the head now I'm is bra while you're raking done no I didn't say mother nature to the raking and why not hey it's windy yeah so we do have those windy conditions across most of the island and really Labrador as well and that's gonna you know blow that snow around that's happening so we'll take a look at the future tracker this is for tomorrow afternoon now we are gonna see that
snow along coastal Labrador again tomorrow and that's gonna continue and I mentioned a little bit earlier we could see upwards of 20 to 30 centimetres in some of those heavier snowfall amounts and it's generally going to continue really through the day now lab city could pick up or at least Western Labrador could pick up a you know two to as much as five more centimeters not including what falls tonight so that'll be falling through the day tomorrow now I am watching the development of an area o
f low pressure down for the southwestern portion of the island and that's gonna move in it looks like tomorrow night and we need to watch this because where that area of low pressure develops and where it tracks with that rain/snow line we do have some colder air in play and that means we could see some snow developing with it is right as well so right now it looks like we're going to see that snow move in overnight Thursday into Friday morning those temperatures are gonna bump up a little bit i
nto the afternoon and that's where we start to see that transition from snow to rain as we see that bump in temperatures and that looks like that'll happen by already by Friday morning and then as that low continues to track a little bit further north we're gonna see that colder air northern peninsula may see a transition at least the east side of the northern peninsula could see that transition overnight as you start to see some of that warmer air then in behind that again we get into that nort
hwesterly flow and that means we'll see some snow some colder air wrap around and then we'll see some snow into Saturday and it really it looks like we're in a pattern where we're gonna see storm after storm after storm and it's really dependent on where that jet stream is over the next couple of days where we're going to see the colder air and the warmer air so that transition from rain to snow so here's a look at your temperatures on Friday you can see that colder air sticking around on the we
st coast the eastern portion of the island those temperatures bumping right back up again to about 11 degrees for st. John's and again there's that colder air and we're gonna continue to see that move in for Labrador so it's gonna be quite cold for Labrador right through the weekend and then we'll start to see some warmer air again a little bit of a rollercoaster as we head into Tuesday so here's a look at the next couple of days quickly once we get past Friday back down to those single digits a
nd then Monday we'll bump up again into 10 degrees it looks like rain for st. John's in eastern new Finland central Newfoundland you're gonna sit in the single digits right into Sunday Mondays when we start to see a warm-up there as well now for western Newfoundland snow the story essentially right through Sunday and then Monday as those temperatures bump back up we'll see that return of some rain for eastern Labrador minus 1 by Friday and then dipping back down below zero and I'll take a look a
t these temperatures for western Labrador down to the minus teens overnight for Friday and Saturday even into the beginning of next week so we're looking at unfortunately those cooler temperatures sticking around for a while so that's look at your forecast I'll have your weather photo coming up thanks Ashley well listen up radio nerds and wait that would include me the country's longest running radio program is turning 80 and it's not your typical show but it has been on the air every day since
November of 1939 and it lasts anywhere from 15 seconds to a minute you might guess of course that I'm talking about the National Research Council's official time signal and to mark the occasion our CBC colleague on the west coast Brian McHugh penned this tribute for you Khurana metrical geeks it's called let it be the National Research Council official time signal the beginning of the long - following ten seconds of silence indicates exactly 12 noon will a fine it's been a stressful day full of
noisy conversations yes since this morning when I woke up from my sleep and while I love to hear by radio at 1 p.m. that's Eastern Time you can hear a soothing silence then a beep let it be let it be let it be yeah let it beep it's Canada's time signal let it be it started in a simpler time we found Fox just weren't dependable and proper time on watches was hard to keep in the 60s on the farm we'd gather round our Philco radio at 1:00 p.m. that's Easter we'd let it be let it be let it be let it
be yeah let it be we'd set our clocks and watches let it be [Music] times have changed in modern days our cellphones give us perfect time just like the dashboard digits in my Jeep but it takes me back to simpler ways on the radio it soothes my soul in the driver's seat I crank in it let it be let it be let it be let it be yeah let it be first you hear the silence then the beep let it be let it be let it be peer let it be it's the voice of perfect timing let it be [Music] I think that song is gon

-pound yeah and that big boy scavenging for food yeah he somehow slipped into a square opening on the top of the dumpsters main lid which was locked and there you go so they lift it up and they basically showed the bear this is all you have to do apparently Sheriff's Office says the bear is known to locals as t-shirt because got a white marking on his chest which I think you might see there is probably gonna conceal as he makes the jump plunk in this photo nope and where are we we are in a parad
