["Pull up" by Keys n Krates and Haviah Mighty] feeling heavy chillin but I'm feeling ready pulled up in a big old Chevy dance floor stop see mi gal dem drop queen with the locs and the crown on top beat of a boss neversound on pause of it ain't the Henny gimme Crown on rocks ah [ ] >> Rosemary: "at issue," quebec separatism. The parti québécois has been gaining in quebec, and with it, the return of talk of quebec independence. >> That's what independence is all about, reclaiming the money that belongs to us and spending it where it really matters. It pays off to be independent. >> Rosemary: so is the resurgence of the P.Q. real and what could it mean to the rest of canada? Let's bring everyone back, chantal, althia, and andrew. Chantal, I'm not sure if canadians know that the P.Q. has the momentum and is leading in polls in quebec. >> And they don't know that we are two years away at least from an election. >> The P.Q. is leading in the polls. Support for sovereignty is flat. The P.Q. lead in the polls is driven by a vacuum on the other side, not because of a rise in sovereigntist fervour. If there was an election tomorrow, the P.Q. would be defeated soundly. The P.Q. leader thinks he can get himself to a majority government by holding a referendum within the first two years of a P.Q. government. This is something that previous P.Q. governments could not get except at the time of the meech lake accord. The more that paul st-pierre plamondon -- that's his name -- talks about sovereignty, the

more people start to think again about the P.Q. the quebec city area is now edging away from the P.Q. the other thing is quebec liberals at this point do not have a leader but recent polls have suggested very mildly that the return of this issue might actually be the kiss of life for the quebec liberals. >> Rosemary: interesting. Andrew, what are you thinking when you hear all that from chantal? >> Well, a lot can happen in the next two years, and turning to polarization on that issue that's served the P.Q. and the liberals well over the years. But let's not kid ourselves. If the P.Q. gets in despite their stance on the referendum, they will seize the opportunity and try to provoke confrontations particularly over immigration. I will note that this return to the fray follows several years in which the C.A.Q. government has been launching one constitutional provokation after another and has had no serious response from any preliminary leader in ottawa. When quebec nationals push and nobody pushes back in ottawa, when the leadership acts as if they don't believe the country have a moral foundation, that they don't believe we have a right to exist and exist as a federation, quebecers have the right to withdraw the conclusion that if they don't care, so do we. We ought to learn that doesn't care doesn't work, and we'll learn that in spades if the P.Q. gets back. >> Rosemary: it's not poking a stick into the cage. That's what some political leaders believe works. Over to you, althia? >> It's not ideas held by a sovereigntist in quebec. If you inflame on bill 21, as the liberals have learned, if you inflame on bill 96, which is the language bill, you'll worry about your seat count. If you're the liberal party, that's where a number of your seats come from, is quebec. I think it's really interesting that the P.Q. is advertising in english. I think frankly it's positive because it feels like anglophones in quebec that they're part of a quebec project and not on the sidelines and not included in the idea of what a quebec nation or a country would look like. His argument about the financial incentive to separate to me makes absolutely no sense. It's not even factually accurate, so I don't know why he is choosing that front. I think one legit criticism and concern shared by many quebecers is the immigration question, that not just immigration quebec, not having control over the asylum seekers coming in through roxham road and other places, support has dropped. It used to be 25% of francophones in the country in 1975, and now we're down at 22% or something of the sort, so continuously, every time we have a redistricting of the seats in the house of commons, basically quebec gets an additional seat grandfathered in because their population doesn't justify the wait that they have, and there are concerns that the more immigrants that there are in the province and outside the province the less important quebec becomes and the less important french becomes, so I think it is an important criticism and it's a criticism that federal leaders come the next election that they'll absolutely have to deal with, and if the liberals are leading in the polls, it'll be who can be captain canada, and I think the leaders will be judged on that front. >> Rosemary: chantal? >> I can see things that the current leader and other members could do to make quebecers more interested in the sovereignty issue on matters that have nothing to do with the constitution or even immigration but that have to do with climate change, with the future of radio-canada and other industries. These are things where the consensus does cross the line between the average centrist and quebecers. The moment you say whatever is going on in parliament,

whatever those policies are, we are not -- we are not going there, and that is probably the place -- climate change, I know it doesn't sound sexy like talking about bill 21 and bill 96, but what's missing from the sovereigntist support is the younger generation of quebecers. >> Rosemary: very quickly, andrew. >> Let's suppose we get 100 million by the end of the 21 century, and french falls to 21%. That still means you've got 12 million french speakers in quebec versus 8 million today, so the notion that quebec is going to be drowned by this deluge of immigrants or it's going to lose all of its clout in the federation, after world war ii, it was much less powerful than it is today. It's not a function of a simple share of your population. >> Rosemary: okay. I've got to leave it there. Thank you for your conversation. With that, I'll send things back to adrienne in toronto. >> Adrienne: thanks, rosie. >>> >>The Great Canadian Baking Showis back. >> And the winner is... >> Alan, no, it's too soon for that. [upbeat jazz] >> How about after? >> Give me that. >> Ok, sure. ( ) Milestones aren't for looking back— They remind us to keep moving forward. Introducing Mazda's largest 2-Row suv.

A moose checking out their house, all, of course, caught on camera. It seems that even wildlife

wants to be a prospective buyer. It's our "moment." >> You're used to seeing amazon delivery, not a moose. My wife, steph, was about to go get our daughter out of bed, and she said there's something on our ring doorbell. She said oh, my gosh, it's a moose. No rush, loped along, came up the lawn, and then headed up the street. We had an electric car plugged in outside. It could have been a little awkward to call our insurance company to say we have a claim because a moose plugulled out the plug in the wall. [ ] >> Adrienne: so you know, we have a little sign at "the national" that says "it's been blank days since there was a moose in the "moment"." and it's neveralways zero, but canadians keeping having these amazing encounters with these amazing animals. >>> That's it for us tonight.

But he chose the hard road instead. [intense] - -[crowd cheers] [ ] >> Adrienne: tonight, the U.S. sues ticketmaster's owner, alleging it's gotten too big and too powerful. >> That conduct is anticompetitive and illegal. [ ] >> Adrienne: live nation accused of soaring ticket prices, exclusive ticketing contracts, and pressuring artists. Is it time to break it up? >>> Cbc news has learned that ne of my favourite spots to eat, actually. >> Adrienne: and it wasn't just all you can eat causing problems. >> Speaker: oral questions. >> Adrienne: insults, name calling, and personal attacks. >> The leader of the opposition is wearing more make up than I am. >> Is it fair to be raising taxes on farmers and food? [ ] >> Adrienne: thanks for joining us. The world's largest ticket seller is staring down a major lawsuit. The U.S. department of justice says it's time for ticketmaster and live nation to be broken up. U.S. prosecutors are also alleging live nation was using threats to maintain its grip on the industry. Eli glasner on the lawsuit, the allegations, and what this could mean for fans. >> Reporter: in this game, a new player has entered: the U.S. department of justice, arguing that the company must be broken up. >> We are not here today because live nation-ticketmaster's conduct is frustrating or annoying, we are here because their conduct is illegal. >> Reporter: the company which merged in 2010 now is accused to have too much power all as fees and customer service complaints have sky rocketed. >> The justice department filed this lawsuit on behalf of fans who should be able to go to concerts without a monopoly standing in their way. >> Reporter: in a response, the company said artists set prices for their tickets while the venue sets and keeps the majority of ticket fees. This mother had dozens of friends registering to get taylor swift tickets for her daughter. In the end, a friend came through, but they learned something. >> It is criminal. You can't be charging little girls that want to go see their idol $5,000 for a ticket. >> Reporter: many independent artists agree, saying live nations mere monopoly limits the opportunities to perform. >> We risk cutting at the knees the sort of development of newcomers and also frankly new music, as well. >> I think we need to break up the stronghold between venue promotion and ticketing. Then we might want also break up ticketing by region or so that we anchor competition. >> Adrienne: so eli, a lot of major artists have been very vocal in the past. What are you hearing tonight? >> Reporter: not a lot, to be honest. I looked at a lot of big names that have spoken out in the past: taylor swift, bruce springsteen, and eddie vedder. All nothing. I should note we also reached out to the canadian competition bureau. They say they are aware of what's happening in washington but they can't confirm whether they're launching their own investigation at this time. >> Adrienne: okay. This might not be over. Eli glasner, thank you. >> Reporter: my pleasure. >> Adrienne: the fate of red lobster restaurants in this country is in limbo. Cbc news has learned that its parent company will ask to include them in a bankruptcy

filing. We look at what went wrong. >> Reporter: the casual dining chain that serves up seafood to the masses is in hot water. Red lobster has filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. and is in the process of doing the same in canada, cbc news has learned. Already the chain has shutdown close to 130 U.S. locations, putting hundreds out of work. >> This is a nightmare because it's just like being separated from something that's been part of your life for 40 years. >> Reporter: as the chain grapples with hundreds of millions of dollars of debt. >> They filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection which gives them a lot of runway as they sort of figure out if they are going to operate in canada. >> Reporter: there's speculation red lobster got into deep debt by offering all you can eat shrimp in the u.s., but some experts say the 56-year-old chain faltered by not changing with the times. >> Red lobster, popular with the boomers and older demographic but did not do anything to attract the younger consumers with new innovation. >> Reporter: red lobster remains open in this country and consumers hope it stays that way. >> My favourite restaurant to eat. >> Can the canadian red lobster restaurants be saved? >> I believe with the right group coming in, with management and leadership team, that red lobster could be salvaged. >> Reporter: on tuesday, it's expected that red lobster will be granted bankruptcy protection, allowing it to stay on the menu. Sophia harris, cbc news, toronto. >> Adrienne: and london drugs says that files obtained by hackers have released private information on-line. They say they're taking steps to mitigate the impact from these criminal acts. On tuesday, the company confirmed it was a victim of a ransomware attack but it refused to pay. All 79 stores in western canada were closed for over a week due to the attack.
