Episode Details

After long insisting he'd be around for the fall provincial election, Quebec's premier is quitting. Mike Armstrong explains why François Legault says now is the time to go; and what this might mean for the separatist movement. Kashechewan First Nation is under a state of emergency again. This time, it's because the remote, northern Ontario community's water treatment plant and sewage systems failed in December. Jillian Piper reports the pressure on the province and Ottawa to act faster, what Kashechewan leaders are pleading for, and how many people have yet to be evacuated. A meeting in Washington, D.C. between Danish, Greenlandic, and U.S. officials failed to solve their disagreement on Greenland's future. Jackson Proskow reports on how U.S. President Donald Trump is reiterating his desire to acquire Greenland; how Denmark and Greenland are not backing down either; and how European allies are responding. Redmond Shannon reports on the beliefs protests are continuing in Iran, where it's exceedingly difficult to confirm anything because of the communications blackout. Neetu Garcha explains why photojournalist Amber Bracken and news outlet The Narwhal are suing the RCMP. Plus, fight or flight? We've all seen the videos of people acting out, sometimes violently, on airplanes. So what's the remedy? U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy thinks he has the answer, but travellers disagree. Heather Yourex-West looks at the discourse surrounding the declining state of air travel.
