Full episode transcript

Part One

Mosul air strike
An airstrike targeting ISIS snipers in Mosul killed as many as 200 civilians this month — and it looks more and more like the U.S.-led coalition is responsible. 

Arctic researcher
Three years ago, Prime Minister Stephen Harper presided over the destruction of environmental research data. Now President Trump's administration is doing the same thing. 

New Zealand water activist
An activist in New Zealand may not get to punch his environment minister at all — but he's challenged him to a boxing match anyway. 

Part Two

Hong Kong activist
Three years after they participated in pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, nine activists are arrested — immediately following the election of a new Beijing-friendly chief executive.  

Arizona bug collectors
Charles and Lois O'Brien don't consider insects pests at all. They've spent their lives collecting them — thousands and thousands of them. Now they've decided it's time to donate that gigantic collection to Arizona State University.

Part Three

Toronto bar complaint
A Toronto woman uses crutches to get around, and has for eighteen years. But when she asked to use the bathroom at a local bar, staff physically blocked her from going down the stairs. 

New Brunswick jail house
An Ontario man was looking for an unusual property — so he was more than happy to buy the former jail in New Brunswick.
