Today on NOW with Dave Brown, we have our weekly news panel with Michelle McQuigge and Joeita Gupta and recap the year in news. We discuss Truth and Reconciliation and the discovery of unmarked graves at former residential schools in Canada. We reflect on the impact of COVID-19 and the devastating effects of the climate crisis. And we rapid fire through several more stories that intersect between the world of politics and economics in 2021, including the federal election and military misconduct. In the second hour of the show, entertainment critic Michael McNeely previews the upcoming psychological drama “The Lost Daughter” starring Olivia Colman and directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal. And Karen McKay from the Centre of Equitable Library Access describes their top five downloadable books of the year! This is the December 17, 2021 episode.
