This is City TV.
We hope and we love Brent and we hope and we love first family.
A search ends in tragedy.
My heart dropped when I heard the terrible news today.
A grief-stricken community comes together to remember a missing teen.
It's believed at this time that it is Brent and Chris.
After police confirm a family's worst fears.
You start realizing how cherished your kids are.
A plea to keep you safe.
I think it should be a law that before the car gets in motion, every passenger is properly belted in.
How a deadly crash in a Toronto cab has left one family demanding answers.
I think it's an important area that the Taxi Commission should be looking at.
Change has come to America.
A new leader and new hope.
Something really big and bold has happened here.
We matter, all of us.
As Americans celebrate a defining moment in history.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
How Barack Obama could bring change to Toronto.
His ideas will inevitably be discussed in Canada.
No AI for the Pistons tonight, so could the Raptors pick up their fourth W of the season?
Another gem on the way for tomorrow, but how long is it going to last and what does it look like into the weekend?
Good evening, tears for a life caught far too short, prayers for a grieving family.
Desmond's came to a berry park tonight for a candlelight vigil after a body believed to be that of Brandon Crisp was discovered in the morning.
The 15-year-old ran away from home after a fight with his parents about a video game obsession.
We want to light the way for Brandon to find his way to God and to just feel better for everybody to have a little bit of grief time together.
There are no words that can say what I'm feeling or what the people I'm with are feeling.
We just, we just are trying to accept it and are trying to become a community stronger together.
Police tonight are saying they don't suspect foul play.
Pam Seidl now with the grief that has swept across the Berry community.
Awful, it's awful. I mean it's obviously devastating for the Crisp family.
It's very hard on everyone here as we've been so intimately involved.
Charmaine Nolan works with Brandon's mother Angelica and helped coordinate the massive volunteer search for Brandon Crisp.
Over 1,500 people participated helping dozens of police officers comb 40 square kilometres looking for the 15-year-old boy missing since Thanksgiving.
Charmaine had just spoken to Brandon's mother this morning before hunters found what is believed to be his body in a remote field.
It's believed at this time that it is Brandon Crisp.
However, there is further medical examination and further investigative work that has to be conducted.
Brandon ran away from home after arguing with his parents Angelica and Steve Crisp.
They had taken his Xbox away, worried about his obsession with the war game Call of Duty 4.
They never saw him again.
Now they are huddled inside their home trying to come to grips with this terrible news.
The body was found deep in this field north of the fourth line, an area searched by investigators
just three kilometres from where Brandon was last seen October 13th near the second line.
Already a small memorial is beginning to form here.
It's a tragic event over an argument about things and it's just not a nice thing for things to happen.
You start realising how cherished your kids are.
The body was removed from the scene but police had no comment on the cause of death.
A communal prayer was held at St Joseph's this afternoon where Brandon and his two sisters attend high school.
The school is in shock as you can well imagine.
They're in grief and certainly they've gathered today to say a prayer for the family and for Brandon
and everyone has come together as a community.
This case is now in the hands of the OPP because the body was found outside the jurisdiction of the Berry Police.
It has now been taken to the Centre for Forensic Sciences where an autopsy will be conducted tomorrow.
In Berry, I'm Pam Seidl for CityNews Tonight.
The family of the 92-year-old man killed on Monday in a cab is speaking out tonight.
In this CityNews exclusive, Michael Serapia spoke to the man's children and widow
who are asking City Hall to do more to regulate taxi drivers.
My father who had arthritis, crippling arthritis, was actually unable to physically reach up, take a belt and plug it in.
Yeah, and I'm still, you know, shocked.
It's been two days since Ian Gray lost his father and now he wants City Hall to change the way taxis are regulated
to make sure his family's tragedy is never repeated again.
92-year-old Donald Gray was in the back seat of a cab when it lost control here on Lakeshore Boulevard.
It came crashing into this tree.
Now, the driver walked away with minor injuries but Donald Gray was not wearing a seat belt.
I think it should be a law that before the car gets in motion, every passenger is properly belted in.
That would be a regulation that you'd want put on all cab drivers?
Yes, I would say that the Commission should mandate that.
If you were driving, you'd have to do that with your passengers, so I think the same should apply.
I agree with that. I think there's too many accidents on the road and a lot of unsafe drivers out there.
Taxis should be above the general public in terms of their accountability, in terms of their responsibility,
and that concerns me that that's not the case.
It seems to be totally unnecessary. That, I think, is what I resent more than anything.
It shouldn't have happened.
No word yet on charges, but Toronto police have determined there was nothing mechanically wrong with the car.
They've also determined road conditions played no part in this horrible crash.
On the Lakeshore, I'm Michael Serapio. City news tonight.
We have breaking news for you now. After an 11th hour vote, 3400 York University employees have voted to walk off the job.
Live to Andrea Pino with how tens of thousands of students will be affected. Andrea?
Well, Mirella, I just got off the phone with a union representative who tells me workers will walk off the job right after midnight,
but even before the announcement, signs of a looming strike were posted all over campus.
It's kind of inconvenient. I mean, we're going to have to, all of our classes are going to get pushed back,
which means we're going to have to redo how we're going to schedule our time and our work and everything,
so it's kind of like holding the students hostage.
50,000 York University students may have no choice but to stay home from class tomorrow.
3400 employees are just minutes away from walking off the job.
Come tomorrow, this entrance could be blocked by dozens of striking workers halting all traffic,
including buses used by Seneca students who also take classes here.
There's a lot of people who rely on taking these buses because the strike is actually affecting all the buses here,
so there's going to be nothing running on campus, which is going to be a huge pain.
There are also concerns a strike could last months.
In 2001, university staff walked off the job for 11 weeks.
Because we have to catch up with everything, we don't want it to extend into the summer.
It's just really kind of hard on the students to reschedule everything,
and then you have to compensate for the time you miss.
Workers are fighting for improved job security and higher wages.
They make $14,000 a year for the work that they do on this campus,
and that's what they have to pay their $6,000 tuition fees with.
That's what they have to pay their rent with, their transportation,
and take care of their families if they have, and take care of themselves.
And we want to remind students not to report to class tomorrow.
There will be no classes.
The union will be holding a rally, though, at 9 a.m. on the Pickett Line.
Live outside of York University, I'm Andrea Puno.
Now back to the newsroom.
Well, for the rest of us, tomorrow will actually be a good day to play hooky.
In fact, I'm surprised Michael Kuhn's even showed up for work tonight, Michael.
Yeah, but I'm a gamer.
I love work, especially when it's bringing good weather to everyone.
It's better than when I have to come in and say,
well, it's going to be minus 10 tomorrow.
You know, walking down the street doesn't go quite as well
as it goes on a beautiful day like today.
Another day in the upper teens, even the evening not too bad.
Still sitting at 9 in Toronto.
Same story in Barrie, 12 in North Bay, Wierton at 13 degrees,
so plenty of warm air out there.
Our weather specialist, by the way, Sangita Patel, has been out all day
enjoying the weather and talking to many others who are doing the exact same thing.
Sangita?
Yeah, Michael, earlier today I had a chance to get out
and see how people are enjoying the weather, and this is what they had to say.
Yeah, you guys enjoying the good weather?
Yeah, yeah, it's great weather.
It's freaking awesome.
Yeah.
What have you guys been doing all day today?
What have we been doing all day today?
We've been, like, hanging out.
You have your jacket off, so you're enjoying the hot weather.
I am.
You are.
And you have a scarf on and a jacket.
I'm just really hot right now.
Have you been wearing shorts since yesterday?
Yes.
You think this is a little bit odd for November?
A little bit.
Yeah.
A little bit.
You see some snow, some really cold temperatures, but this is nice.
I'm sure you get more tickets in the warm weather.
Come on.
Whatever is there, we have to do.
Well, Michael, tomorrow's going to be a nice day,
so you and I should head out for a golf game.
That sounds pretty good, actually,
although I have to sand some stairs
and put another coat of varathane on them.
Oh, you're no fun.
Okay, well, golf it is then.
I'll blow that off completely.
Okay.
Yeah, no, it is going to be good golf weather for sure in the morning.
Friday's still in the morning.
Doesn't look bad as well, so book your tee times now.
Won't see any frost delays around the GTA.
Temperature's not getting that cool at all.
And here's why.
We have a big dome of cloud cover shooting to the north,
warm air working all the way up north of Sudbury.
We saw temperatures still there in the double digits.
Almost all the way up to Moosonee,
but Moosonee's starting to get into some of that cool air,
and then you see the snow back here
working all the way down into Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming.
That wave's eventually on the way.
We don't have to worry about it though for tomorrow,
starting off at 6 degrees, 10 by 9 a.m., 16 by noon,
still at 16 at 2 p.m.
That's going to be your daytime high tapers a little bit by 4 p.m.
And we will get some cloud cover rolling in.
That cloud cover, well, is it going to hold back possible records
as we move into Thursday and Friday?
I'll let you know coming up.
Marilla?
Verithaning stairs.
That man knows how to par-tay.
In world news, reaction pouring in from political colleagues
as Barack Obama prepares for the White House.
It's been a long time coming,
but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election,
at this defining moment, change has come to America.
Campaigning on a promise of change,
the Democrat became the first black president of the United States.
Today, fellow politicians known for breaking down racial barriers
congratulated the president-elect on his big win.
As an African American, I'm especially proud
because this is a country that's been through a long journey
in terms of overcoming ruins
and making race not the factor in our lives.
As I watched it, as I watched finally,
one of the newscasters cut to the chase and said,
he's won, it's over.
Pretty moving, isn't it?
Obama will be sworn in as president January 20th.
For a full wrap-up of the world news,
watch City News International after this newscast, only on CityTV.
Coming up on CityNews tonight...
The camera gets a little heavy after a while.
Kids take over CityTV.
Beautiful. Great job.
The models were practically breaking their ankles on the catwalk.
That was good.
Now, how future generations got their chance to run our station their way.
It's way.
It looks really fun.
Think it's a business you might want to get into?
No.
Alan Iverson watched tonight's game from the Pistons locker room.
Turned out they didn't need him against the Raptors.
The cool-down is coming.
How chilly it will feel this weekend
and what it looks like in the next week in your seven-day outlook.
The end of the week, I think.
The creative secrets, tried and tested,
that will put hundreds of dollars in your pocket.
That's huge.
Out of the newsroom, on the street, City News everywhere.
Beans?
Cheese.
Cheese?
Cheese will keep us together.
Mozzarella or cheddar?
Cheese.
Mozzarella or cheddar?
What?
That's right, Anne.
It's definitely moving in.
Yeah, but how do you know that, Michael?
Come on, I'll show you.
Now City News is the first to track advancing storms
with over 20 weather stations.
This lets me be the first on the ground with a front-line view
from places like here in Tottenham.
Or here in Burlington with real-time data
as the edge of the storm comes our way.
On the ground.
Earlier.
More accurate.
Because, of course, if you can't see it...
You can't track it.
Bingo.
You need a towel?
Michael Koo, City News, Weather Everywhere.
The Raptors are going for a four in a row,
something they've never done at the start of the season.
Here's Hugh with the breakdown.
Hugh.
Hey, Morelli, good evening, everybody.
All the talk leading up to tonight's game
was about the Pistons getting Allen Iverson from Denver.
The Raptors should have been more concerned
about the other guys from Motown.
Iverson in the house at the ACC, but he did not play tonight.
That trade to the Nuggets, still not official,
but apparently that trade to the Yankees is.
Pistons didn't need him, though.
First quarter, Raptors pressing Anthony Parker,
the three, and the bodily arm.
Toronto with the lead late in the first.
Jermaine O'Neal is good from the paint.
Or in this case, Varnish.
Just eight points for O'Neal tonight.
The Raptors led by three after one.
Second quarter, Pistons took the lead by putting up 34.
No two easier than these.
Tayshaun Prince steps around on Andrea Barniani.
Pistons up by eight at a half.
Right to the fourth.
Now, Chris Bosch cuts the Detroit lead to three,
going strong to the hoop.
Raptors chop the lead to one,
but Rashid Wallace hits a monster three ball there.
Making it a four point game.
Other end, Chris Bosch, the circus effort,
and he gets it to go.
Toronto down by two.
Bosch team high 26, but it was not enough.
Prince backing up Jamario Moon before knocking it down.
A game high 27 for him.
Pistons win it 193.
The Pistons remain perfect.
The Raptors fall three and one.
Take on the Hawks on Friday.
The newest Raptor may be feeling this loss more than everybody else.
I'm still having a hard time getting comfortable into the offense.
I haven't really been able to find a rhythm at all.
Outside of the first game and in spurts, I was able to get rhythms,
but it was quite a process.
I know sometimes it can be tough for him because he's used to playing
a certain way and he has the opportunity to do that.
He's just not doing as well as he wants to right now,
but it's a very long season.
I had to remind him of that.
One from the NHL for you, Ken Hitchcock's Columbus Blue Jackets
at home to the Edmonton Oilers.
The oil up three, two and a third.
The Jackets can't clear the zone.
Kyle Brodzniak.
Brodzniak is first of the season, 4-2 Edmonton, 4-3.
A couple of minutes later, Columbus would tie this thing up.
Dwayne Rollison can't get a handle on it.
Freddie Modine sticks with it and scores 4-4.
Now it stayed that way, but just over a minute to go.
Blue Jackets on the rush.
The puck is flipped into the crease where Manny Malhotra
bats it out of the air.
5-4 Columbus, the final.
Elsewhere tonight, New Jersey beat Tampa Bay, 4-3.
Leafs are in Boston tomorrow.
Two-time defending Metro Bowl champion, St. Michael's,
hosting St. Andrews in the independent title game today.
Two-zip in the second.
Kerry Blues score in the ground.
Cole Tudor runs it in from a couple of yards out, 9-0.
Later, Tyler Pretty to Chris Patrician.
He hauls in the TD pass, 16-0 St. Mike's.
Then before the half is out, Pretty does it himself.
That's because no one is open downfield, so he scrambles.
See it, 41 yards for the major, 23-0 of the half.
27-7 St. Michael's, the final.
They are off to the Metro Bowl semifinals.
The Canadian Sports Hall of Fame inducted its new class this evening,
a veritable who's who of sporting heroes in this country.
I think you'll recognize some of the faces.
Thanks a lot.
Being born and growing up in Canada, this is a very special honor for me,
in particular being a sports fan, a fan of all sports.
I've followed the careers of virtually everyone here up at the podium,
and it's an honor for me to go into the hall with them.
Canadian pride is very important.
I mean, this brings back memories,
and everybody on the podium that was speaking,
they were really speaking from the heart.
Hockey players honored.
Lewis and Izerwine were the 1996 4x100 relay team,
which took gold in Atlanta, former Blue Jays general manager,
Pat Gillick, and speed skater Mark Egano.
Excellent.
Yeah, and that's some big names there.
Tomorrow might be one for the record.
We'll be right back with more of the big news.
Ho, ho, ho!
Santa's beard is itchy.
With the figgy pudding.
He wears some of these hands.
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.
I've been a good girl all year.
This Christmas, everyone can feel like a kid again.
At Leon's Ho, Ho, Ho the Payments event,
you'll love all the Santa's supervised throughout the showroom,
and you can Ho, Ho, Ho the Payments till 2010.
Merry Christmas, camera!

The show's next big engagement starts Friday in Toronto.
Tomorrow on City News at 6.
Our viewers show you the money.
The end of the week, I think.
The creative secrets, tried and tested,
that'll put hundreds of dollars in your pocket.
That's huge.
Out of the newsroom, on the street, City News, everywhere.
Soak it up tomorrow because the warm weather won't last.
Michael Gould has your detailed forecast.
We'll get you the forecast on Sunday.
We'll see you then.
I hope so, Marella.
Tomorrow is going to be the last of what has been a tremendous stretch.
Friday still looks good,
although we will get some more cloud cover,
and the temperature may be back another degree from what we saw today,
and definitely what we will see tomorrow as well.
Here's what we're looking at currently.
We're still in this little wedge here, this area of high pressure,
a high pressure ridge,
stretches all the way out into New Brunswick and Nova Scotia,
but there's a low pressure system churning up the coast.
We're going to see some cloud cover,
but some of that cloud cover will back into at least eastern sections of the
GTA, and we're going to see a wind shift because of this system.
Counterclockwise winds around that low,
and we're going to see more of an easterly wind tomorrow.
That's a wind blowing off the lake,
so it will get a little bit cooler, a degree or two.
Still getting up into the mid-teens for sure.
Secondary low, and this is the weather player that will bring us
the precipitation and draw in the cooler air.
That's moving across the Dakotas, working into Minnesota.
That's moving north. That's the leading edge of the warm air, of course.
Cold front all the way down into Texas.
That's the leading edge of the cold air, and you see the jet stream,
the dividing area in the upper atmosphere between the warm and cold air,
dips well down to the south and the west.
This blue, that snow in southern parts of Saskatchewan,
working down into Montana.
That's in behind the system,
but warm air pooling up into southern Ontario in advance of the system,
and that's still going to be in play for tomorrow and into Friday,
but eventually this system will move through.
Cold front slices through the GTA early on Saturday, and when that happens,
we'll really get into that cool blast of air once again.
Temperatures down to seasonal,
and then becoming a little bit below seasonal into Sunday and Monday.
Here's what we're looking at from the weather stations.
New Marks sitting at 10.8 degrees currently.
We get down toward Brampton, still 10.3. Not bad at all.
Those are warmer than normal daytime highs this time of year.
Port Credit a little cooler, 6.9 degrees,
and we have seen a westerly, northwesterly wind develop,
and that's a land breeze.
The water temperature is actually warmer than the land temperature here,
so what happens is that air rises over the water,
and to replace that air, the air moves from the land and slides in down below it,
and that's where we get the air moving from the land to the lake,
and that is your land breeze.
We're seeing a little bit of that downtown as well.
East-northeast breeze at 15 kilometers per hour.
Also some patchy fog out in Ajax, 7.1.
Here's what we're looking at over the next 48 hours.
We are going to see that system approaching.
Here's what it looks like.
High-pressure ridge really starting to break down,
low-pressure core down to the south,
really weakening out but still creating that wind direction shift
that I talked about,
and we will get a little trough line here bringing some cloud cover in,
especially for Friday,
but the big player will be this cold front,
and that's going to come in late, late day on Friday,
likely evening or overnight, bringing in a few showers.
This is 8 p.m., and we could see some spotty showers,
8 to 10 p.m., most likely late in the evening.
Keep that in mind if you're heading out to the clubs
or heading out to dinner late Friday.
You may want to bring that umbrella.
We'll have a better idea of that picture come tomorrow.
A fog, still a possibility, a little patchy tomorrow morning,
low as cool as 6 degrees.
That's about 3 warmer than normal into the afternoon,
topping out at 16, but by 4 p.m., back to 15 degrees,
wind out of the south at 15 kilometers per hour.
Here's what we're expecting to see as we move through the next couple of days.
Friday we get that increasing cloud cover, easterly breeze,
16, all depends on the wind patterns,
maybe a little optimistic, so keeping an eye on that play into Saturday.
The showers coming early in the day,
and then I'm not anticipating a lot of precipitation Saturday or Sunday.
Spotty showers are a possibility.
Still plenty of sunny breaks mixed in there,
but the biggest part of the story will be the cooler air,
especially on Sunday with a high of 6 degrees.
Could even see a few lake effect flurries down around the Niagara region
coming off of Lake Erie, also out toward Kingston or Prince Edward County.
Still remains cool on Monday, minus 2 in the morning with the 6 in the afternoon.
Warms back up to actually a little bit above seasonal for next Tuesday and Wednesday.
Plenty of sunshine and highs near 9.
That's a check on your forecast.
Marilla?
Alright, Michael, well did you notice a lot of young faces at work today?
Coming up, a reality check for what's waiting in the wings for your kids.
City TV's got a new number.

Jennifer manages to get to major shopping areas early in the morning.
She says it has nothing to do with her.
It has everything to do with the people.
The people who lined up before 5 o'clock this morning, okay?
The people who lined up before 5 o'clock this morning,
which you were at the beginning of the line.
No.
I haven't bought anything yet, but I do have a buggy here.
Do you see the buggy that I have here?
I got lots of really nice stuff here.

Workplaces all over the city turned into de facto classrooms today
for Take Your Kids to Work Day.
Videographer Audra Brown shows us how the City TV newsroom
was taken over by Grade 9 students.
It looked like something right out of the first Star Wars movie.
Beautiful.
We're on a good job.
They're only in Grade 9, but they're taking over our newsroom.
We're going to be doing a voiceover.
And learning from our reporters.
The models were practically breaking their ankles on the catwalk.
It looks really fun.
How much you think that weighs?
And our cameramen.
Put your hand right in under here.
Put your hand right under here.
The camera gets a little heavy after a while.
Okay, just back a little bit from there.
Kelsey is just one of thousands of students here at City TV
and right across the province who are taking part in Take Your Kids to Work Day.
The idea is for them to get an idea of what it's like to be in the workforce.
Kelsey is helping me edit my story.
How's that one there?
That's good.
There's definitely something I will consider to be when I'm older.
Think it's a business you might want to get into?
No.
Too much pressure?
Yeah, I think it's too much pressure for me.
Theo, stand right there.
He'll be your subject right now.
I could see in the viewfinder what he was doing,
and I could tell he was keen.
That's always nice to see.
All right, you think you're ready to...
Think it's a business you might want to get into?
No.
Too much pressure?
Yeah, I think it's too much pressure for me.
Theo, stand right there.
He'll be your subject right now.
I could see in the viewfinder what he was doing,
and I could tell he was keen.
That's always nice to see.
All right, you think you're ready to shoot a standup for me?
Sure.
Okay, turn it right here.
The hope is that all of the students taking part today
will have a better feel for what it's like to be in the workplace
and possibly even an idea for a future profession.
