Temporada 1, episódio 1

The Unlikely Detective

Chris Bennett runs Blackfish Lodge, 300 kilometres north of Vancouver where Canada’s West Coast crumbles into the Pacific Ocean. His guests are from all over the world. They come to see B.C.’s wildlife, but especially the salmon. Chris was out with a group of tourists when he looked into the water alongside his boat and noticed young salmon — called smolts — acting strangely. He drove down the coast with a few smolts in a bucket to show to Alexandra Morton, a neighbour who studied orcas. It was the first clue in a mystery of disappearing salmon, and Alex, an unlikely detective, stepped up. We are crowdfunding to cover the cost of this podcast.

The Game-changer

The salmon had been returning to the Fraser River for hundreds of years. In 2009, they didn’t. Or barely did. Nine million sockeye salmon were missing. Stephen Harper, prime minister at the time, was not a man known for promoting science, but the catastrophic loss forced him to call an inquiry. For the first time, there would be money, time and people testifying under oath about events leading to the disappearance of the wild salmon. We are crowdfunding to cover the cost of this podcast.

Beyond the Headlines: The India Canada Diplomatic Storm

On this week’s Mortal Giants Sandy Garossino and Vina Nadjibulla discuss the deteriorating relationship between Canada and India which became pubic after Prime Minister Trudeau in September 2023 accused India of involvement in the killing of a Canadian Sikh leader in B.C. The Indian government called the accusation ‘absurd’. Then both governments expelled diplomats. Garossino and Nadjibulla take us step-by-step through the escalating rhetoric between the two governments and the events that led to the RCMP holding a news conference on Thanksgiving weekend in 2024 to lay out their investigation that the Modi government created a network of to follow and harass and perhaps even orchestrate the murders of Sikh separatists in Canada.

The Best Regulations Money Can Buy

Lawyer Rob Bilott completes the promise he made to his grandmother and has to decide if he will go back to corporate law or continue to fight the multinational company, Dupont. He tries to get the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to take over the fight but gets nowhere. And a high-level U.S. government scientist explains how regulation really works. Still, Bilott manages to get Dupont to pay for a study of 70,000 people who drank water poisoned by the company’s waste. Meanwhile, Diane Cotter and Graham Peaslee cobble together the money for a study on PFAS chemicals in firefighters’ turnout gear. A robust study is needed to get the results published.
