- Canada has two official languages, English and French - yet in Vancouver, a condominium Strata Board has voted to conduct all its AGM business in Mandarin. Andreas Kargut, an English-only speaking condo owner in the 54 unit complex, is filing a human rights complaint which has been accepted by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal. In July it appeared meetings between lawyers for the Mandarin speaking condo owners and their English speaking counterparts had arrived at a solution which would have the AGM business conducted in English and translated into Mandarin. At the last moment, the Mandarin-speaking owners reportedly reneged. Board members issued a media release arguing conducting board business in Mandarin makes sense because Mandarin is the first language of Board members and the decision conforms with multiculturalism in Canada. Guest: Andreas Kargut, condo owner, board member and lead complainant
- Travis Vader was found guilty of second degree murder in the deaths of Lyle and Marie McCann of Alberta, both in their late 70s and travelling by motorhome, towing a second vehicle. The bodies of the McCanns have not been found. DNA and mobile phone evidence connecting Vader to the McCanns was circumstantial, although Vader had possession of both McCann vehicles, as well as many of their belongings. Trial judge Denny Thomas based his conviction of Vader on Section 230 of Canada's Criminal Code, which the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional in 1990. How could this happen and what happens to Vader now? Guest: David Butt, criminal lawyer, editorialist - Singer songwriter Jonathan Roy co-writes with and is on the Siena label owned by Corey Hart.
