Rural Canada is Dying, Wildfire Accommodations & Expensive Cities Around The World
Chapter 1:
-Yesterday, in a turn of events that no one could have scripted, two former Trump heavyweights either pleaded, or were found guilty, of multiple felonies. Michael Cohen, Trump’s long time fixer and former attorney, admitted to eight charges, including paying off women at the direction of Trump to stay silent ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
Chapter 2:
-Airbnb hosts are opening their homes free of charge to residents who have been displaced by the dozens of wildfires burning in British Columbia. Airbnb has activated its Disaster Response Program in the Okanagan and Vancouver Island until next Wednesday, giving not only displaced residents, but firefighters and volunteers a chance to find a temporary, and free, place to stay.
Chapter 3:
-Canadian novelist and journalist Patrick Blennerhassett moved from Vancouver to Hong Kong, and was told that two things are certainties; the heat, and the exorbitant price of rent. Hong Kong has the dubious distinction of being one of the most expensive cities in the world. So how do attitudes towards the crazy rental market differ in the two cities, and what is Hong kong doing about its housing bubble?
Chapter 4:
-In a dramatic day south of the border, two of Trump’s former sidekicks pleaded guilty or were convicted on multiple felonies. What implications does this have for the Trump presidency?
Chapter 5:
-Macleans journalist Aaron Hutchins travelled to rural towns in Canada to investigate whether they can be saved. Populations are fleeing to bigger cities, businesses are closing, and drug abuse and crime is escalating. Is this a sign of something bigger? What’s going on in Canada’s heartland? We spoke to Aaron about what he discovered.
