>>> Well, if you've ever bought a ticket to an anti-oar a correspond sent, you've most certainly used ticketmaster. Now the U.S. justice department says live nation is too big. Eric sorensen has more on a legal battle that could reshape the multi-billion dollar live entertainment industry. [ ] >> Reporter: when millions of people could not buy taylor swift eras tour tickets two years ago, public anger coalensed around ticketmaster and its dominance in ticket sales. Ask swiftieses like halifax's elizabeth 'hanley about the prices she ultimately faced. >> They're $3,600. >> Reporter: now the U.S. just department and most U.S. states are suing the patient company live nation. >> Live nation relies on unlawful anti-competitive conduct to exercise its monopolistic control over live events in the united states. >> Reporter: managing more than 400 artists, and controls the majority of large concert venues and promotions in the U.S. and then there's ticketmaster's additional fees. >> Ticketing fees. Service fees. Convenience fees. >> Reporter: and the list just went on within a within. >> Per order fees. Handles fees. >> Reporter: it is a climb-down for the U.S. government, which allowed live nation to merge with ticketmaster in 2010. Critics say the government has no choice but to bring more competition in the live concert industry. >> The engine of lower prices is competition. Competition is something that's been absent in this area for decades now. Really, the only way to resolve it is to break up the company. >> Reporter: >> Ticketmaster learned valuable lessons from this on sale. >> Reporter: live nation's president told a congressional hearing last year that bots and scalpers were responsible for high ticket prices. In statement, live nation says this lawsuit distracts from real solutions that would decrease prices and protect fans. What could it mean in canada? >> We always say more competition is more choices for canadians, so obviously we're going to be locking at what has been announced in the united states. >> Reporter: any investigation in this country would come the competition bureau, which reached a settlement with live nation over extra fees in 2018. >> They are most likely watching very carefully what the americans are doing, and then they would have to decide whether they think that they would like to investigate it. >> Reporter: the case follows years of backlash from concert-goers. It could be many more years before it's settled. Eric sorensen, global news, toronto. >> Antony: a man from british columbia who recently celebrated his 100th birthday has, of course, seen many changes in canada over the years. Including how people of different ethnic backgrounds are treated. Kylie stand ton introduces us to wayne chow, whose paper trail illustrates the many challenges chinese-canadians faced over the years. >> Reporter: when you hit certain milestones in life, you can't help but smile. >> My dad turned 100 on may the 4th. >> Reporter: wayne ching chow celebrated surrounded by family and friends. A chance to honour just how far he's come in this life given the world he was born in. >> His 100th birthday is pretty close to the 100th anniversary of the 1923 chinese exclusion act. >> Reporter: at just 7 weeks old, chow became one. First canadian canadians ever documented with C.I. or chinese immigration certificate. Throughout his childhood in cumberland and university degree in manitoba, he held on to that piece of paper. >> It's not your dad's store. >> It was with him had had he got married, raised five children, and moved back to B.C. for a job with bc hydro. Out of sight, but never out of mind. >> For some reason, like -- he knew the importance of it. My oldest sister, gay lean, was looking in a safety deposit box probably three years ago, and found it. >> Reporter: but the timing, much like chow's birthday, coincided with bigger things. The opening of the chinese-canadian museum and its exhibit, the paper trail. >> It sheds light on this history and it makes it very personal. >> Oceans of ink. Reams of paper. Report roughly 400 C.I. certificates are on display. Chow's is one of them, but provides an unflinching look at the chinese inclusion act. >> Inning for chinese canadians, it is an affirmation. This was part of again our history and the stories are not just in the shadowed from 1923

to 1927. No chinese fundamentally could enter this country. >> Reporter: a century later, the CHOWs say that was then. This is now. >> Of course, my dad can personally see the change. >> Reporter: lessons have been learned. Lives have been built, and 100 years later, that's something to smile about. Kylie stanton, global news. >> Antony: now, to some stunning new up imagines to show you that are literally out of this world. The european space agency released this: five images from the euclid telescope. They feature unprecedented views of of a star-forming region in the milky way and clusters of hundreds of galaxies.

It will be a rainy and cloudy day here in winnipeg. Getting up to 11° this afternoon. You will see that rain right into tonight as we look further west a little warmer. Not as rainy. In regina and saskatoon. Regina, calgary, edmonton 14. Toronto continuing with the 20° temperatures at 23 and halifax just by there at 22° coming up this afternoon. We will be seeing heavy rain throughout southern manitoba today folks even into the afternoon hours. Not only heavy rain, but we are possibly looking at southwest corner to get with some snow and may be even rain snow mix at that. For winnipeg I think we will miss out on the snow. We will see the snow more so concentrated in the western side of the province particularly southwestern manitoba. Going into tonight and into tomorrow morning we will start seeing that rain move further north. Not effecting as much as winnipeg. More so central and northern areas of the province, but it will be a little bit windy today and tomorrow with the gusts anywhere from 40 kilometres per hour and then as we get into sunday and monday it will be breezier with the winds relaxing. You can see it will be a little bit cooler couple of days here, but by sunday we should get to the 20° temperatures here in winnipeg and brandon and for the pollen report total pollen is

The ig wealth management walk for alzheimer's happens saturday in winnipeg. It is also happening across the province as well. And this morning we have alzheimer's society of manitoba ceo erin joining us. Good morning. Great to have you on the show. How are you doing today? >> Thank you very much for having me. I'm good. >> Gabrielle: I'm sure gearing up for a busy day on saturday. Talk to us about the details. >> Our walk goes saturday at 10 A.M. is our check in at assiniboine park at the lyric threert. The walk kicks off at 11. Takes us about 30 minutes or so to complete the route and we're expecting around thousand people will show up there. It'll be a big crowd. >> Gabrielle: that's an incredible turn out. Of course we're seeing those shows of support in other communities. Did that really bring manitoba together? Why does that matter to you? >> Yeah. It is so nice because some of the communities haven't been back with us since the pandemic. We have communities throughout the province, sell kirk, steinbach, that are running their own walks. I think for families that are impact bid dementia, seeing that level of support is really meaningful for them. I hope it is. We certainly feel it the support from the communities is there. When you have a dementia diagnoses it can be pretty isolating. May be you're the only one dealing with is it. Seeing communities come together is just fabulous. >> Gabrielle: an along with that physical tangible support of families coming together there is a financial aspect here. We talk about the data around how many people are impacted in the province and country. Why does that money make a difference? >> You know, there is still so much we don't know about dementia. We do know that having a community makes a big difference. Connecting with people getting the right information and resources. You can do advanced planning that will be important down the road. All of those things are supported when people donate to the walk. And so you're exactly right. It is important to see those coming together people visual thousands of people who are impacted. And the fundraising that is done goes through support really important programs that people use throughout the year. >> Gabrielle: further to that, you do have all kind of programming that you provide through your organization. If somebody is watching this morning and they are feeling isolate and had feeling, you know, really heart broken about what they are going through and what their family is going through what would be your message to them? >> I would say that that community is there. We try to be that front door. I would encourage them to give us a call or go to our website because there are all kinds of wonderful folks that are participating in the recreation programs and they are joining support groups and getting information. You can too and they are here for you and we're here for you. >> Gabrielle: so we have about 30 seconds left here. Real quick before we say good-bye. We want to leave folks with the reminder saturday walk us through the details one more time. >> Saturday may 25th at assiniboine park here in winnipeg we're meeting by the lyric theater and we hope people will come and join us and people find it a meaningful way to honour somebody in their family and to help make a difference for other folks. >> Gabrielle: that sounds like it will be an amazing event.
