The CBC's main newscast "The National" for the evening of Aug. 9 had an 11.5 minute segment on AC 759:

It was hosted by anchor Wendy Mesley, and after a sketchy account of the incident, presented a much better in-depth discussion of pilot fatigue and Canada's very poor regulations in this regard. Barry Wiszniewski ( ‎President at Aviation Safety Management Experts - ‎Canadian Society of Air Safety Investigators) and Dana Adamus (International (Canada) President, ALPA) were interviewed, with sound bites from government officials to illustrate the influence of the airline lobby preventing improvement of Canadian rules (in contrast with a successful post-Colgan US citizens' campaign). An improvement is now vaguely "promised".
