 27/01/12: Privatizing Water
Leaked documents outlining Canada's negotiating position in trade talks with the European Union make no mention of an exemption for water services. That has raised concerns that municipal drinking water could be vulnerable to privatization in a free trade deal. We'll look at what multinational-owned water systems could mean for what comes out of the tap in Canada.

 
 27/01/12: Pink Ribbons, Inc.
It's hard to think of a symbol that for many captures the human values of caring and hope better than the pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness. But a new documentary takes a hard look at the pink ribbon and its sponsorship deals, saying they've lost sight of what really matters.

 
 27/01/12: Wither National Parks
Visits to national parks are down and a proposal for a walkway built over a mountain valley promises to be a big draw in Jasper National Park. But opponents warn it could be just the top of a very slippery slope for Canada's mountain parks - saying the development is a threat to the ecosystem and a worrying sign that the government is now looking on our national environmental heritage as a money-maker first.

 
 26/01/12: CIDA Partnerships
Many Canadian mining companies embrace corporate social Responsibility with environmental projects, training programs and special projects for youth - often in partnership with NGOs. This fall some of those projects also received millions of dollars from CIDA. But critics question, why Canada's International Development Agency, which has kicked other NGOs off its list, is using foreign aid dollars to support profitable companies.

 
 26/01/12: Chile's Game Changer - Ricardo Lagos
It is hard to imagine that one television discussion could change a nation, but that is exactly what happened when Ricardo Lagos publicly denounced Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet. That conversation set in motion the change that led to Pinochet's ouster and the restoration of democracy. Ricardo Lagos later became President. Now, in the midst of the Arab uprisings, he says the world can learn from his little country.

 
 26/01/12: Checking In

 25/01/12: Mexican Holiday Horror
As we trudge through another Canadian winter, the bookings for southern resort vacations are almost a national ritual. Tourism figures show more than a million Canadians choose Mexico. But the headlines over the last few weeks offer a dark perspective over those sunny vacations.

 
 25/01/12: Haredi Tensions
Natali Mashiah says a group of Haredim or Ultra-Orthodox Jewish men in the Israeli city of Beit Shemesh targeted her for immodest dress. She says they jumped on her car, smashed the windows and slashed the tires. It is yet another incident pitting strict religious Jews against those who are either secular or do not belong to Ultra-orthodox sects. And it is fueling a debate about the role of the religious in a Jewish state .. that has always created a special place for the faithful.

 
 25/01/12: Regulating Body Modification
They are pierced, cut and even branded. From elfin ears to decorative scars to implants to make horns on the head - body modifications appear to be in increasing demand. But they are procedures undertaken in often unregulated studios. Even some of those who do the procedures want stricter standards and those involved in public health are torn. Do they try to regulate or insist on medical involvement?

 
 24/01/12: Greek Debt and Hedge Funds Gaming the System
Just when you thought it was safe to throw away your old calendars, it appears to be 2008 all over again. As a group of hedge funds, holding piles of Greek debt, are seemingly playing both ends against the middle with what is essentially default insurance and a win-win profit position ... in Greece's ongoing debt crisis.

 
 24/01/12: The Future of Research in Motion
RIM's U.S. market share is down, but the company is growing in other countries. The Blackberry is still the smartphone of choice for business... something Apple hasn't yet managed to bite into. And yet, talk to an analyst and Blackberry is in trouble. Not quite a welcome mat for a new CEO and Chair of the Board. Today, just over 24 hours after Blackberry's very big news, we scroll through the fallout.

 
 24/01/12: Mystery Disease in Central America

 23/01/12: Colbert for President
If you've been listening to the news you know the Republican Presidential primary has now moved into a different kind of vicious with Mitt Romney still smarting from a South Carolina side-swipe by Newt Gingrich's wealth of supporters. Which brings us to the candidate who was all-but-invisible in Saturday's primary... comedian Stephen Colbert. Crossing lines by inserting politics into his comedy or is that crossing lines by inserting comedy into his politics? Candidate Colbert, disguised as Candidate Cain, walked away with thousands of votes in South Carolina. Today, we ask if Colbert's tapping America's funny bone or if he's cracking some political ribs.

 
 23/01/12: Aboriginal Education: Senator Gerry St. Germain
Another Monday, another school day. And for far too many First Nations kids another challenge. Shannen Koostachin was 13 years old when she made a plea for greater opportunities for Aboriginal students. She would die in a car crash two years later. But her desire for an education lives on in many Aboriginal kids who are beating the odds. Today, ahead of meetings with the Prime Ministers and First Nations leaders, we'll hear from Aboriginal teachers, students and from Metis Senator Gerry St. Germaine on what all politicians need to learn about educating Aboriginal kids.

 
 23/01/12: Aboriginal Education Continued
On the eve of the much-anticipated meeting of First Nations leaders and the Prime Minister, we continue our discussion about Aboriginal education. Today, we hear from different First Nations students and educators to find out how they're trying to keep kids in school.

 
 The day the web won against SOPA/PIPA
In the wake of the coordinated withdrawal of service by prominent internet companies including Wikipedia, U.S. lawmakers are backing away from two controversial proposed anti-piracy bills. Now, some say the black-out is a game-changer which demonstrates just how powerful and uncontainable the internet has become.

 
 20/01/12: The Trouble with Renting - Marketplace
Renters in Canada often have to live in subpar and unhealthy conditions because the rental market is so tight and big landlords are more focused on investor return than in being responsive to the needs of tenants.

 
 20/01/12: Abandoning Ship: History of Captains
Ships' Captains have a mythic quality in our collective psyches. We put our lives in their hands. Which is why people around the world have been riveted by the story of the Costa Concordia. Captain Francesco Schettino, denies the charges against him, and says he only left the ship because he tripped and fell into a lifeboat. We'll discuss Capt Schettino, the tales of infamous and heroic captains gone-by, and we'll explain how the Captain's code of behaviour has evolved.

 
 19/01/12: U.S. rejects Keystone XL pipeline
He says it isn't a Death but a Delay but already all sides are drawing their own conclusions over Barak Obama's decision to reject Keystone XL. Environmentalists seem gleeful, Obama's Republican opponents seem vengeful and Canadians pushing Gateway see their plan as even-more-fruitful.

 
 19/01/12: Aging out of the foster care system
For an estimated 85-thousand children and youth across Canada home is an elusive concept and parents come in the form of children's aid or state guardians. And when those kids hit adulthood they are on their own: Youth forced by their age to leave care are over-represented in the justice system, mental health and in shelters. Today, we hear from young people trying to change the odds for the kids coming up after them.

 
 19/01/12: Checking - In
The modern-day Klondike gold rush we told you about last week while in Whitehorse has unearthed another treasure for paleontologists ... from the bones of woolly mammoths to simitar toothed cats, there's more than Gold in those hills. We'll tell you more when we check your reaction to what we've been covering.

 
 18/01/12: Joe Oliver on the Northern Gateway pipeline
They clearly think they've been tarred on the subject of Oil Sands. Individuals and groups are lining up to share their views at hearings on the proposed Gateway Pipeline from Alberta through B.C. Today, Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver on his choice of the word Radical and his support for courting Asian energy markets.

 
 18/01/12: The high cost of prescriptions drugs
All of our premiers have plans to work together on innovative health care but new numbers show they might want to consider a new prescription on pharmaceuticals. New research shows 1 in 10 Canadians won't take their prescription drugs because of the cost. And they are more likely to be in B.C. right where our premiers spent the last few days talking health care. Is it time for a National Drug Plan? Or for fewer prescriptions?

 
 18/01/12: Civilian post-traumatic stress disorder
Ute Lawrence never went to war and never saw a conflict zone. But she did find herself on the wrong stretch of highway one September day 13 yrs ago. And that's when everything changed. One of Canada's most deadly highway pileups sent her on a lonely, uncharted journey through the world of PTSD. Today, we're talking about identifying the traumas that will linger.

 
 17/01/12: Cruise Ship Evacuation Safety
You could fit the entire population of Bathurst or Marystown or Banff into some of the new mega-cruise ships. Are they getting too big to sail? In the wake of the Costa Concordia disaster off the coast of Italy, we assess the risks involved in the new wave of giant cruise ships capable of holding thousands of passengers.

 
 17/01/12: The Church of Kopimism: File Sharing Religion
If information is knowledge and knowledge empowers then is the act of sharing that knowledge a spiritual imperative? The four-thousand members of the Church of Kopimism would tell you it is. Sweden which recognizes elves and gnomes as religious communities has also officially recognized file-sharing as a religion, The Church of Kopimism. Today, we hear from those who worship at the altar of technological altruism something that makes others envision ... Copyright Hell.

 
 17/01/12: SuperPACs and Campaign Spending
Information and mis-information comes courtesy of the multi-million-dollar SuperPAC ... those political organizations in the U.S. that can roll out ads for their favorite candidates without having to say who is bankrolling them. A U.S. Supreme Court ruling that equates money with free speech has unleashed an estimated billions in election spending. Is it corrosive or conducive to democracy?

 
 16/01/12: Moving forward after the Liberal Convention
The Federal Liberals want back in the game. Shunted into third party status in the last election, the expectation coming out of this weekend's party convention is that their brand new party president will be the key to help a hobbled party rebuild.

 
 16/01/12: Humanitarian aid workers facing uncomfortable compromises
They are the undisputed heroes in every crisis. From natural disasters, to violent conflict, humanitarian aid workers are often the first in and usually the last to leave. They risk their lives to help the helpless but until now few knew they sometimes also risk their values and ethics. From Afghanistan to Sri Lanka, three of Medecins San Frontiers' front line workers expose the compromises they choose to make for the greater good.

 
 16/01/12: The influential reach of Canada's same-sex marriage laws
Today our project Game Changer examines Canada's influence in the world-wide fight for same-sex marriage rights. Even as the Justice Minister was pledging to close a "legislative gap" late last week over divorcing same-sex couples, gay rights activists world-wide were on edge watching it unfold. Our laws in Canada reverberate across the globe.

 
 13/01/12: Has Shaken Baby Syndrome been overblown?
During the 1980s and 90s, researchers and pediatricians have been telling people about the damage caused by shaking an infant. But according to a new investigation by CBC Television's The Fifth Estate, there are growing concerns about the way prosecutions are being handled and serious questions about whether Shaken Baby Syndrome is even real. The Fifth Estate co-host Gillian Findlay joins us in studio to tell us more about her report called Diagnosis Murder.

 
 13/01/12: Taiwanese are split as voting for the President looms
People in Taiwan elect a new president and legislature tomorrow. But another country's leadership casts a long shadow over the ballot boxes. Generations after the Chinese civil war, Beijing and Taipei can always find ways to distrust one another.

 
 13/01/12: The Obamas biography: Jodi Kantor
It's not exactly a smackdown, but the pushback this week on the new book, The Obamas has been impressive. New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor joins us to share her portrayal of Michelle Obama, and to answer the White House's criticism of it.

 
 12/01/12: Absent Aboriginal Fathers Town Hall
There are many statistics. The percentage of Aboriginal children being raised by a single parent -- usually the mother -- is double the percentage of other Canadian children. One in 5 First Nations women over the age of 15 is a single mom. And if statistics don't change, a growing number of Aboriginal boys will typically become absent dads themselves. We begin our Town Hall in Whitehorse with CBC Reporter, Jeff Leo who has been looking into this story and from a professor at the School of Child and Youth Care at the University of Victoria.

 
 12/01/12: Absent Aboriginal Fathers Town Hall (cont'd)
We continue to talk about Aboriginal fathers - a demographic that has been called the greatest untapped resource in the lives of aboriginal children. That quote from Ed John, Grand Chief of the First Nations Summit in British Columbia. We hear from two people working with Aboriginal men - anxious to find new purpose in their lives, and the lives of their children.

 
 12/01/12: Yukon audience responds to discussion on absent Aboriginal fathers
During our program, we have heard statistics and stories from - and about - men who have grown up without fathers in their lives and men who want to make sure their boys and girls know their fathers.

 11/01/12: Judge Stuart on Bill C-10
Away from the river and up the hill they've built a new prison, twice as big as the old one, all set to open in a few weeks just as the Harper government moves closer to bringing in a new crime bill that will impose tougher minimum sentences. Advocates for restorative justice, especially as it is practiced in the North, worry the changes under Bill C-10 will backfire.

 
 11/01/12: The Fatherless African-American Family
In aboriginal families across Canada, and in African American families in the U.S., too many children know only one parent. On tomorrow's show, we'll bring you our Town Hall, Fathers without fathers: Aboriginal men in Canada. It's not an issue we talk about much but in the U.S., it's much studied and there are efforts to encourage dads to come home. Today we're looking south to the African-American experience and the stark contrast in homes with and without fathers.

 
 11/01/12: Yukon Mining Game Changer, Shawn Ryan
In the old days, they panned the rivers and creeks north of here for the gold flakes that sent so many scurrying to the Klondike. Today, we'll introduce you to prospector Shawn Ryan whose low-tech weed extractor and high-tech mapping has pinpointed the Gold many thought was Gone. He now owns 20-percent of all the mineral claims in the Territory. Not bad for a guy with no formal geology training who came here to pick mushrooms.

 
 10/01/12: Michaëlle Jean on what's next for Haiti
Canada's former Governor General visits Haiti for the second anniversary of the quake that shattered a nation. Michaëlle Jean believes that while charities are helping to rebuild, the national government is so starved for cash it can't enforce its own policies for reconstruction. And in the meantime, as many as half a million people remain in tents.

 
 10/01/12: Alberta - B.C. Gateway
The Rockies mark the great divide between B.C. and Alberta, but the great divide between the provinces this year may be over a resource. Many Albertans would like a pipeline to take the products of the oilsands to the coast, and many people in British Columbia would not like that at all. The hearings are about to begin and it will be a long time, if ever, before the Northern Gateway project is shovel ready -- but both sides are already digging in.

 
 10/01/12: Egyptians serving prison time for criticizing military
If you're wondering why many Egyptians have lost faith with their revolution -- just check out the number of people sentenced to prison by military courts. The country's military is aggressively hostile to criticism. We hear about the Canadian effort to free one outspoken critic.

 
 09/01/12: Is the Northern Gateway Pipeline a good idea?
For the developers of the oilsands, the markets of Asia are an attractive final destination for Alberta's black crude. But the journey from Fort McMurray to China involves building a pipeline hundreds of kilometres long through some of the most untouched land in Canada, part of that pristine wilderness is hailed by the national geographic as "Paradise". Hearings begin this week on whether the Northern Gateway pipeline is a good idea.

 
 09/01/12: Terence McKenna shares stories from a Syrian refugee camp in Turkey
CBC journalist Terence McKenna is just back from a visit to the Syrian refugee camps in Turkey.

 09/01/12: Financial advice for Occupy protesters
Some former Wall Street financial experts are annoyed by the Occupy movement's unsophisticated understanding of the markets. So they're helping the movement understand the markets better to be more forceful in their criticism.

 
 06/01/12: OxyContin Addiction in Northern Ontario (Pt 1)
Today on The Current we go to Northern Ontario, to hear from a remarkable young voice, with a story of euphoric escape, despair, desperation and addiction.

 06/01/12: A Covert War with Iran
This morning, a Republican Guard Commander announced there will be more drills in the vital oil shipping lane again next month. The US and Israel are planning a major missile defence exercise in the next few weeks. We hear from two people who say something more sinister than talk and military drills is well underway: targetted killings, cyber-war, mysterious explosions, drone surveillance: a cold or covert war that may be approaching a volatile stage where it's difficult to contain.

 
 05/01/12: Ecstasy Harm Reduction Debate
It was back in the 80's when US First Lady Nancy Reagan famously campaigned to discourage teens and other young people from taking drugs with the phrase: JUST SAY NO. Fast forward to 2012 and in B.C. a string of deaths due to overdoses of the drug Ecstasy has some arguing it is time to just offer a little more advice on how to use drugs.

 
 05/01/12: Thursday's Check In
We don't say much here that doesn't send someone's fingers flying over the computer keys, or thumbs tapping into twitter. We're re-visiting, re-working and re-viewing your re-action to everything from Virgins to Violence in Syria.

 
 05/01/12: Floating West Coast Tsunami Debris
We can all remember the pictures of Japan's devastating tsunami, watching as so much stuff representing so many lives was swept out to sea. That debris is slowly coming our way floating toward the West Coast, corralled by currents and pushed by the winds.The sections of houses, the boats, the vehicles could create real problems on the B.C. coastline. Today, we're tracking the anticipation and the curiosity as U.S. scientist prepares to sail into a debris field that may be the size of California but remains a mystery.

 
 04/01/12: 2012 - The Year of Labour Unrest
We are only half way into the first week of 2012 and already the signs are that this could be a restive year between workers and their bosses. Today, the face-off between unions and management.

 
 04/01/12: Mind Reading Technology
What if the government or anyone else could read your mind? Wait for it .. the potential is fast approaching. We are moving from the sci-fi on the silver screen to the reality on the MRI machine. The research and results are so advanced that at least one ethicist is already calling for protected privacy zones in our skulls.

 
 04/01/12: Citizen journalism in Syria
The videos coming out of Syria from citizen journalists are so powerful that the people taking the pictures are being killed. Today, we introduce you to one man forced to flee for his work. He is now holed up in Cairo mentoring a new breed of rebels who are fighting Syrian official violence with smuggled video.

 
 03/01/12: Changing Federalism
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has replaced those once-common and very public federal-provincial meetings of first ministers with private, closed door, one-on-one encounters with premiers. Its been dubbed, the rise of the Harper Doctrine, a new way of taking care of politics in Canada. Can it work? And how will we know?

 
 03/01/12: The story of Mohamed Bouazizi, the man who started the Arab Spring

However, you can listen to the documentary called "From the Embers" by Piya Chattopadhyay online through streamed audio on our website at cbc.ca/thecurrent. Sorry for the inconvenience.

 
 03/01/12: Adult Virginity
Tony Tarquinto is 42 years old and he is still a Virgin. And he is not alone. Whether by chance or choice, there are thousands of adults in Canada and the U.S. who say they have never had sexual intercourse. Our hyper-sexualized society doesn't make it easy for them to talk about it but today we hear from three adult virgins with their stories.

 
 02/01/12: Eyes on the Iowa Caucus and the U.S. presidential candidates
We are in the first days of a new year which also happens to be a U.S. election year, so why not get right to it? From Newt's baggage to Mitt's money and Santorum's surge, all eyes are on Iowa for the first electoral test of those Republicans wishing to be the candidate for President next November. The Iowa Caucuses may be an insider's game but it is also a spectator sport across the U.S.and the world. The ripple effect begins with this event and today we're in anticipation mode.

 
 02/01/12: Ian Stirling on the threat to polar bears
They look awfully cute and cuddly from afar. The polar bear is a formidable predator, just ask anyone who's come face to face with one. But for all their strength, the icy environment on which they thrive is literally disappearing from under their feet. Canada is home to two-thirds of the world's polar bear population, spread through 13 bear colonies. It is also home to the man widely considered the foremost authority on polar bears, Ian Stirling.

 
 02/01/12: A modern guide to manners with Henry Alford
Would it Kill you to Stop Doing That? That's not just an exasperated plea, that's the title of a new book on modern manners and all the ticks that drive people to distraction as we immerse ourselves in technological toys. You may likely think you have good manners. But somebody's lying because it's a brusque, rude, uncaring world out there.

 
 30/12/11: Year-end panel on politics
2012 is right around the corner. So we've gathered some strange bedfellows to talk about the year that was in politics. We'll talk about the highs and lows and what we can expect ahead.

 
 30/12/11: After the Storm (Documentary Repeat)
The vast majority of Canadians who have a stroke will survive. But only 10 per cent will make a full recovery. The aftermath of a stroke can be difficult physically and emotionally. And it can be very trying on loved ones as well. Our documentary today looks at life after a stroke.

 
 30/12/11: Beerology
The bubbly is chilling and the corks are ready to be popped. For many-- champagne's in vogue and beer's a bust when ringing in the New Year. Yet the suds are the most popular alcoholic beverage in this country. We're serving up Beer with the editor of the Oxford Companion to Beer and a tour of the Mill Street Brewery in Toronto. * pls note this podcast was edited due to podcast rights issues*

 
 29/12/11: Andrew Tabler on his lost faith in Syria's President
His regime is unleashing its ire. Leading a murderous campaign on its own citizens. As international monitors and the world look on, Bashar Al-Assad remains ruthless and defiant. But the Syrian president is also described as mild-mannered and reserved. A duality only a few outsiders have personally witnessed. Today, we talk to the author of a book who spent time getting to know Syria's first family... first hand.

 
 29/12/11: To Serve With Pride (Documentary Repeat)
It was a big battle--but this year--the war was won. The war on Don't Ask Don't Tell, the American military's policy which forced gay soldiers to keep their sexuality hidden. We rebroadcast a documentary where veterans speak out about being a gay soldier south of the border.

 
 29/12/11: How the NYC music scene changed music forever
In the Bronx, young people were plugging turntables into light posts to invent hip-hop. Along the Bowery, art-school kids were distilling rock music down to its essence to create punk. While others were leading the biggest uprising in western classical music since Stravinsky. It all happened over five years, in a space of less than 200 city blocks in New York City. * Music Playlist on website cbc.ca/thecurrent *

 
 28/12/11: Rise of the Protester
As Kim-Jong Il is laid to rest, protesters are on the streets of Seoul condemning their Northern neighbours' regime. Some factory workers in China have walked off the job demanding higher wages. In India, an anti-corruption activist is on a hunger strike. From the Arab street to Wall Street and so many places in between, the bellow of 2011 is ringing out loud and clear. Ordinary citizens chanted for change, prodding and provoking power-brokers the world over.

 
 28/12/11: The Invisible Girl (Documentary Repeat)
Even the mention of 9/11 evokes horrendous images for most adults. But imagine the images and memories seared in the minds of children... particularly the ones who attended school in Manhattan on that fateful day a decade ago. We heard from one such girl, in this morning's documentary.

 
 28/12/11: Egypt's Revolution
It took 18 days of demonstrations to oust the man who ruled Egypt for 30 years. But there were a lot of signposts that paved the way to Tahrir Square. We hear from the author of a new book about the making of a revolution and the undoing of Hosni Mubarak.

 
 27/12/11: Iraq Journalism
In 2003 George W. Bush went on television and declared war on Iraq. As bombs rained down on Baghdad, reporters decked out in fatigues and flack jackets embedded themselves with the American military. But, as the insurgency grinded on, the Iraq story faded from the headlines. And when President Obama declared that war had ended earlier this month, the news it made can only be described as a whimper.

 
 27/12/11: Motherhood Interrupted (Documentary Repeat)
We re-broadcast a documentary about a time in Canada when women's work meant getting married, pregnant and raising children at home. But if you were a single mother -- you weren't cut out for the job. Many women were forced to give up their children. Now, decades later, they want accountability.

 
 27/12/11: Time
Time is rarely on our side. We usually think we don't have enough of it -- and then a look in the mirror often makes us think we've had too much. In part three we discuss time. Does it control us? Or do we control it?

 
 26/12/11: Unique pressures facing goaltenders
Imagine the stress of knowing you're about to play in the biggest hockey tournament of your life. The puck drops today at the World Juniors in Edmonton. The players are filled with hope, determination and pressure. And perhaps no one feels that pressure more than the goalie. We're talking about the guy who gets pucks hurled at him while he minds the net.

 
 26/12/11: Breathing with Sandra (Documentary Repeat)
We re-broadcast a documentary about giving and receiving the gift of life. Organ donors and recipients are often strangers who--by law--aren't allowed to get to know one another. But that's about to change in one Canadian province.

 
 26/12/11: Looking back at the day of the Soviet dis-Union
Today, we're setting the clock back, 20 years to the day. That's when the hammer and sickle was lowered and the once mighty soviet union ceased to exist. The more things change, the more they seem to stay the same. That's certainly true when it comes to Russia's security forces.

 
 23/12/11: The Giving of Gratitude
Psychologists have been studying gratitude and its effects on those of us who feel it and then go on to express it. And these researchers are finding that an attitude of gratitude leads to a greater satisfaction with life and to kinder behaviour toward others. That's not to diminish the value of outrage. Outrage can change the world. And no one is saying gratitude can change the world, but perhaps it can grease the cogs and gears in such a way as to make everything turn a little more smoothly.

 
 23/12/11: Canadians: cvonsumers of war, neglecting aid
Canadians may think of themselves as peace-loving, but we speak to a woman who thinks we're avid consumers of war. She says you can see it in our pension plans and even our jewelry. Her new book, "Damned Nations: Greed, Guns, Armies and Aid" looks at what happens when greed and guns get in the way of providing aid.

 
 23/12/11: Chris Goodall's report on "Peak Stuff"
Anyone who's sat through first-year economics knows societies have to consume to grow. But we may need to rewrite the Economics 101 textbook. We speak with a man who believes we can grow without increasing consumption. In fact, we may already be doing it.

 
 22/12/11: The cost of the revolution in Egypt
Inflation is up, productivity is down, tourists are gone and unemployment hasn't been this high for a decade. Egyptians may have reveled in a revolution that ousted Hosni Mubarak but now they are questioning the cost of it all.

 
 22/12/11: Letters: Bullying in the schoolyard and in the NHL
His point is simple, the brain can't take it. The Editor-in-Chief of the Canadian Medical Association Journal has added his voice to those calling for an end to hockey violence that results in hits to the head. We hear from him and read your thoughts on some of the stories of the week.

 
 22/12/11: Hardship Christmas for Slave Lake, AB and Marystown, NFLD
The fire that swept through Slave Lake Alberta last May stays with those who escaped in the simplest and most profound of ways.

In the midst of the holiday season, we're going back to take the pulse of communities that refuse to give up in Slave Lake Alberta and Marystown, Newfoundland.

 
 21/12/11: Proposed changes to HIV disclosure law
Modern medicine is presenting a challenge for the law over the issue of HIV-AIDS. Should you be charged with a criminal offence like murder for willfully spreading the HIV virus to an unknowing sex partner if the newest drugs have changed, a deadly disease into a chronic illness?

 
 21/12/11: The real life story of the Tin Tin creator
He is forever young, the teenage boy with that odd hair and his loyal dog off on another adventure that takes him around the world. Tin Tin is the anti-hero, the Belgian comic strip character that spawned 23 graphic novels and millions of fans over the last 70 years. But for all the pleasure he brought millions of children, Tin Tin's creator had a darker side. Herge - Georges Remi - found his greatest success publishing in Nazi-controlled, pro-German papers in occupied Belgium. And while Tin Tin's illustrations were deliberately simplistic, the life of Herge was incredibly complex. We speak with biographer Pierre Assouline on Tin Tin's creator.

 
 21/12/11: Psychological profiles of world leaders
The Family that Slays together, Stays together or so says the man who created the CIA branch that profiles so-called Rogue world leaders. As North Koreans mourn Kim Jong Il and analysts puzzle over Kim Jong-un, as Bashar Al Assad maintains his grip on power in Syria and Ahmadinejad confounds Iran-watchers, we're looking for insights into the psychological state of leaders who make the news for all the wrong reasons.

 
 20/12/11: Sorrow in Syria as human rights abuses still continue
As the optimists and activists of so many middle eastern countries blossomed in an Arab Spring this year, the hopeful people of Syria have been locked in a perpetual winter by a dictator whose behaviour was and actually still is worse than most of the others but where geopolitics has and still does conspire to keep them frozen in a troubling time. Today, the day after President Assad agreed to the arrival of special observers, the day after more dissenters were gunned down, we're back on the Syria story where some say the long arm of Assad is reaching into Canada.

 
 20/12/11: Environment Commissioner, Scott Vaughan on hazardous shipments
There are stacks of rules and regulations designed to keep hazardous or dangerous goods from harming people as they are trucked, shipped or piped across the country. But Canada's top Environmental watchdog says the key federal departments responsible for keeping hazardous goods from being hazardous to us are failing to followup or even track high-risk violators. And that puts us all on a road to potential trouble. Scott Vaughn takes us through his findings.

 
 20/12/11: The high cost of workplace mental health
Canada's oil-and-gas and mining industries are an economic bright spot, their output worth about 4-percent of the GDP. So picture that productivity - four percent of GDP - because that is also what Corporate Canada loses every year to mental illness. Former Federal Finance Minister Michael Wilson weighs in on the need for Bosses and Businesses to confront an illness that we can all see but still treat as invisible.

 
 19/12/11: Death of a North Korean dictator and a look at the future of First Nations in Canada
With the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il, world leaders are watching closely for any signal from North Korea on its nuclear intentions. Also in this segment, Federal opposition leaders are critical of Prime Minister Stephen Harper demanding he travel to Attawapiskat to meet with people and see first hand the desperate conditions of the First Nations community. Instead, the P.M. is prepping for a different meeting with First Nations leaders in late January. Today, a few of those leaders share their hopes, expectations and exasperation.

 
 19/12/11: Meet a former paralympian who is now an able-bodied Olympic hopeful
She was 13 when a simple operation went inexplicably wrong and she found herself unable to walk. But Monique Van de Vorst concentrated on what she could do becoming a paralympic athlete, excelling at handcycling. Still she was beset by random events that injured her further, she was hit by a car, then hit by a bike and then one day she experienced some feeling in her feet and 12 years after being paralyzed, she was re-learning to walk.

 
 19/12/11: CIA drone attacks and the explosive rift between U.S. and Pakistan
The already hostile friendship between the U.S. and Pakistan is getting more uncomfortable. Tens-of-thousands of Islamists rallied in Peshawar and Lehore yesterday condemning the United States and denouncing a NATO attack. All this as Pakistanis along the Afghan border insist dozens of U.S. drone attacks this year killed civilians, not just combatants as the U.S. insists.

 
 16/12/11: Are we heading towards a Russian revolution?
What's happening in Russia these days? On the heels of a controversial election, has Vladimir Putin reached his best-before date? Or is that just the chatter from the disgruntled and the West? We look into the state of Mother Russia.

 
 16/12/11: The "financialization" of the world: Satyajit Das
Also, are you feeling the burden of debt? Silly question. Who isn't? Personal indebtedness has never been higher in Canada. And as far as governments go - it's even worse. From this country to the U.S. to pretty much all of Europe and beyond, the debt burden in this world is colossal. It nearly wrecked the financial system in 2008. And it could again according to the author of "Extreme Money", Satyajit Das.

 
 16/12/11: Treating arthritis with medical marijuana
For ten years, it's been possible to get a prescription for pot.Canada was the first country to create a system for doling out marijuana as medicine for people with certain serious illnesses. And in the past few years, a curious thing has happened. The number of pot prescriptions written to help people with arthritis has skyrocketed. And it's probably not because there's suddenly a lot more people with arthritis.

 
 15/12/11: Ontario Anti-Bullying Legislation
Stories of teens taking their own lives after being bullied and often after being taunted for being gay have dominated the headlines across the country for several months. Ontario's answer to that is new anti-bullying legislation. But critics say the new law isn't about bullying at all, it is a deliberate swipe at religious values.

 
 15/12/11: No more internal e-mail for Atos, an IT firm
It began as simple time saver. No more stamps, no more phone calls when a quick e-mail would suffice. It changed the game in office communications. But for all the ease ... writing, reading, answering and culling e-mails can take up to five hours a week of valuable office time and all that information - too much information is estimated to cost US corporations a trillion dollars a year. Our project Game Changer follows a communications technology company ready to delete e-mail.

 
 15/12/11: Mail: Stem Cell Research/Ethical Oil/Poverty
Also today, we read some of your letters on Canadian stem cell research, Canadian oil and poverty in Canada. And we are still tracking those two east coast ferries now being scavenged on India's ship breaking coast. Marine Atlantic says it put the sale of the ships out to tender. But a the longtime owner of a Canadian brokerage says neither he, nor a dozen or so of his competitors had any idea. He says it is time for the auditor general to start asking questions.

 
 14/12/11: Sayonara Kyoto Accord
Well he did it. Peter Kent killed Canada's Kyoto commitment and his critics say that's catastrophic. The Conservatives never hid their dislike for the deal. And they insist they are still moving ahead on emissions reductions. Today, we hear from Environment Minister Peter Kent. But we also hear from those critics.

 
 14/12/11: Prison Libraries: The Prose of Cons
Ask Jean Charbonneau what those who come to his library ask to read and he'll tell you True Crime is the most popular. His readers are prisoners but the fact that they're reading at all is proof to him that his work matters. In a world behind bars, the best escape was in a book. We follow Jean Charbonneau into that world.

 
 14/12/11: Hydrofluorocarbons and Climate Change
Remember how we all stopped using CFC's in fridges, in hairspray, all because of the hole in the Ozone layer? We replaced CFCs with HFCs and the hole did get smaller but now we know HFCs are even worse for the atmosphere. Our project, Game Changer looks at the chemistry that caused another conundrum as we explore tales of Earnest Environmental Efforts .. gone wrong

 
 13/12/11: Bank of Canada Governor, Mark Carney
Russia's retreating, Europe's regrouping, the U.S. is reverberating and Canada ... well the Governor of the Bank of Canada suggests we would do well to start re-focusing. In the midst of global economic uncertainty, Mark Carney sees opportunity for those Canadians willing to put aside their fears and take a chance. He's urging Canadian businesses to think outside the continent. Today, we ask for his assessment.

 
 13/12/11: Canadian citizenship denied due to breast cancer
On the surface, hers is the kind of application government officials look for: Young, educated, skilled and upwardly mobile, fluent in English, adapting well and anxious to be part of the Canadian community. And for a while it seemed Fatemah Kamkar would, indeed, be welcome here as a Permanent Resident from Iran. But in the years it took between her application and the govt's decision she was diagnosed with breast cancer. And suddenly nothing else matters to Ottawa: She is not welcome.

 
 13/12/11: Muslim leaders speak out against honour killings
Dozens of Imams turned their sermons to the subject of honour killings a few days ago, all in response to the disturbing details of the Shafia trial coming out of Kingston Ontario where a father, mother and son stand accused in the murders of three teenage daughters and a wife. Some worry that the wider Muslim community has nothing to apologize for, others say it is time to confront the issue behind this.

 
 12/12/11: Humanoid robots and other innovations of the MIT Media Lab
They developed The Kindle, Guitar Hero and the little robot vacuum cleaner that scuttles along the floor. But they've also created the exo-skeleton robots you can hug and cars that can fold up. Today we bring you the story of MITs Media Lab where very smart people are given the space to play and come up with fantastic off-the-wall ideas for new technology.The only catch ... once they Dream It, they have to Build It.

 
 12/12/11: Occupying foreclosure homes
This past weekend saw the end of the some of the most persistent of the Occupy Protests as demonstrators in Calgary removed their tents Friday and as police in Boston arrested those refusing to move Saturday morning.

 12/12/11: Gay ban in Russia
Tens-of-thousands took to the streets this weekend, angry over what they say is election fraud and fed up with Vladimir Putin's presumption of power. But despite the call for greater rights and democracy, there is one group that fears its rights will be trounced. Legislation proposed by Putin?s party will outlaw what it calls ?gay propaganda? aimed at youth Gay-rights activists, fear it is a thinly-veiled attempt to prosecute and persecute them in a nation already unapologetically homophobic.

 
 09/12/11: China and Climate Change
Canada hasn't made much of an impression at the climate change talks in South Africa - certainly not a positive one. But China sure has. Yes, it is the global bad boy - biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, a colossal number of coal plants, and more being built. But this week it's also showing off its world leading investments in wind and solar power that pale in comparison to any Western country. It's a complex picture of the middle kingdom and we dive into it.

It seems the world needs more Canada. Well, at least Iceland does. There's a growing push in Iceland to make the Loonie the official currency there.

 09/12/11: Man Seeks God: Eric Weiner
Have you found your God yet? That question was asked of Eric Weiner one day when he was in the hospital, and thought he might die. Well, he didn't die but the question haunted him, because the answer, essentially, was No. So he went on a journey, crisscrossing the globe, looking for the religion that's right for him. The book he wrote about it is called "Man Seeks God: My Flirtations With the Divine".

The statistics appear to show abductions-by-parents account for more at least a third of all cases of missing children in Canada.

 07/12/11: Niall Ferguson: The West and the Rest
If you haven't yet caught the symbolism of Rome, Athens and Washington being in financial freefall then look East ... far East, where after 5 centuries of humbling stagnation China is innovative and creative in ways the West used to be. And no .. 140 characters is not true innovation. For an historian, it is the way-of-the-world. For the rest-of-us .. This is ominous. Does it have to be?

 
 07/12/11: Chevron oil spills in Latin America
Also today, our project Game Changer is tracking the political and judicial treatment of big oil in Latin America. From an oil spill off the coast of Brazil to a multi Billion dollar judgement in Ecuador, each involving Chevron and each sending a message about environmental culpability.

 
 06/12/11: Russia votes and Vladimir Putin is on the decline
It was not so long ago, Russians were so enamoured with Vladimir Putin that the top song was one for the women: "I Want a Man Like Putin" ... and he lapped it up, appearing in increasingly macho settings. Now twelve years on, Russians may be tiring of Mr. Putin. Though his United Russia party just won about 50-percent of the votes, it lost 77 seats in yesterday's election and the music may stop for Vladimir Putin. Today, we're asking what this means to Russia's future.

 
 06/12/11: Ethical Oil
As our Environment Minister prepares to make the Ethical Oil argument at a climate change conference hostile to Alberta's Oilsands, we're asking about the concept of labeling oil ... Ethical. Are you supporting the oppression of women in Saudi Arabia if you tar Alberta's oilsands?

 
 06/12/11: The story of two Canadian scientists who discovered stem cells
It was one of those Sundays, where one scientist was spelling off the other, checking the lab mice in a project that was all about using radiation for cancer treatment. So imagine their surprise when the two scientists realized what was really happening to those mice. They were growing stem cells. The year was 1960. The scientists were right here in Canada. Today, the story of James Till and Ernest McCulloch, two of Canada's most accomplished and least heralded scientists.

 05/12/11: Sybil Exposed
They called her Sybil. Hers was a narrative that changed modern psychiatry, a young woman, her childhood riddled with such abuse that her mind fragmented, shattered into 16 different personalities. Her story would sell millions of books and inspire a gripping film. After Sybil's struggles became public, Multiple Personality Disorder went from being a rare psychiatric condition to a diagnosis for tens-of-thousands of patients. Except the story of Sybil was One Big Lie. We explore the real story with journalist who unearthed it.

 
 02/12/11: Personal stories on being poor in Canada

 02/12/11: Paying more being poor
We also take a look at the higher costs low-income people pay for a range of day-to-day expenses. Many low-income Canadians end up paying the most .... everything from groceries to banking, and those higher costs make it even harder to escape poverty.

 
 01/12/11: Transit workers assaulted on the job
She's been threatened with rape. He's got mild to moderate brain damage. And yet another one of them can't shake the beating that left him lying on the floor. They are all transit drivers in different Canadian cities. And they are facing a seemingly increasingly aggressive group of passengers who often don't play fair or pay the fare. With a 21-year old rider now waiting to be sentenced for his assault on a Vancouver bus driver, we're asking about the intersection of angry customers and sitting targets at the bus stop near you.

 
 01/12/11: Rehabilitation of dangerous offenders
You've heard the news stories many times as someone with a history of dangerous sexual offences leaves prison and eventually tries to settle in someone's neighbourhood. The fear is that they will re-offend, that they cannot be rehabilitated. Today, we hear from an Ottawa-based psychiatrist whose years of work has focused on treating such offenders with drugs that dull the very arousal that triggers their violence. He believes many of those criminals who want to be treated can get to a point where they will not re-offend.

 
 01/12/11: Lorna Crozier on Poverty and Listener Mail
She grew up knowing she was poor and even today a successful professor, poet and author, Lorna Crozier is affected by the poverty she faced all those years ago. As she prepares, a special Friday edition of The Current on the 10-percent, those often-invisible but desperately poor Canadians, Lorna Crozier talks about life on the margins.

 29/11/11: Looking for answers in Attawapiskat
You've likely seen the pictures by now, kids with rashes on their faces, homes with outside walls of weathered, graying particle board, no running water or electricity and a stove made out of an oil drum. And yet even as the Red Cross heads to this northern Ontario reserve the story of the money Attawapiskat needs to survive is confusing. Ottawa says they get millions, the Chief says they need millions. Others say the bureaucratic hurdles that confront First Nations hobbles their efforts to help their people.

 
 29/11/11: Marine Atlantic and the ship breaking yards of India
He's got a state-of-the-art, environmentally first rate business and he had a plan to create 40 jobs in Cape Breton. But the decommissioned ferries Wayne Elliot wanted to buy and recycle were sold for millions more than he could even offer by the Canadian Crown corporation Marine Atlantic. They've since ended up at the ship-breaking beach at Alang India, a place notorious for injuries and industrial degradation that is supposed to be hands-off for all countries that have signed a deal called the Basel Convention including ours. So what happened?

 
 29/11/11: Steven Pinker on why violence is declining
There was a time when life for the majority, was nasty, brutish and short. But these days, it is pacified, prolonged and even pensioned. Fully 15-percent of all prehistoric humans died a violent death. These days despite it all, fewer than 3-percent of people do. Author Stephen Pinker has gone back ... way back to crunch the numbers. He says we inhabit an increasingly less violent world. He explains "The Better Angels of Our Nature".

 25/11/11: Regulate Marijuana?
Four former Vancouver mayors say we must move from a violent unregulated marijuana market to a strictly regulated cannabis market that is based on a public health framework because it will help stop gang violence.

Elkind's life story is the subject of a new book by National Post reporter Adrian Humphreys. We speak to both of them today.

 
 24/11/11: Mohammed Abdelfattah on Egypt's Future
The images and the news out of Egypt seems dire now as the country's so-called revolution moves into another day of uncertainty, all of it documented, tracked and offered to the world by a battery of Egyptian journalists empowered by change even as they continue to risk arrest, beatings and imprisonment. Among them is a 24 year old man, two years into his own journalistic career whose story back in June of 2010 - six months before Tahrir Square helped to galvanize a nation.

 24/11/11: Oil and Gas Drilling in the Gulf of St. Lawrence
They call it Old Harry, an oil and gas deposit off the shores of Quebec's Magdalen Islands in waters shared by more than one province. Old Harry could contain a few billion barrels of oil and oil companies want to start exploratory drilling.

Over four years in Honduras, 23 journalists have been killed. Others face detention, censorship and intimidation.

 23/11/11: New Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines
For years women around the globe have been told breast cancer screening is essential for early diagnosis and life-saving treatment.

Some doctors welcome this new information, others aren't convinced.
