Is it the end of the line for Calgary's Free Fare Zone?

For decades, Calgarians have been able to ride the C-Train free along a 10-block stretch of 7th Avenue downtown. That might be about to change. The city's infrastructure and planning committee just voted to eliminate the FFZ... and city council will debate and decide what to do later this month. Catch up with Loren on what's been happening, and hear some of the voices for and against eliminating the free fare zone.

Have you ever found out your sailing has been cancelled due to bad weather, despite the perfectly calm conditions right outside your window? There’s more science behind it than you think.

So, we need to talk about Alberta separatism

You really can’t avoid talking about Alberta separatism these days, but the conversation just keeps getting more complicated. To get some clarity, we wanted to find out how many Albertans actually want to leave Canada — and why some others may be supporting efforts to hold a referendum. Host Clare Bonnyman sits down with John B. Santos, a data scientist with Janet Brown Opinion Research, to go through the results of a poll CBC commissioned this spring.

Will forced rehab fix Saskatchewan’s drug problem?

Saskatchewan’s Bill 48 means substance users can now be held against their will for treatment. Critics say the new law hands police and family members too much power, and lacks oversight. Others say the idea could work if the province gives users safe places to live after rehabilitation ends. We hear from people who’ve lived with addiction, along with physicians and support workers.

B.C. nurses vote in favour of job action. What now?

Our political episode is a few days early this week due to scheduling issues. In it, we get reaction to news that B.C. Nurses’ Union members have voted overwhelmingly (98.2%) in favour of taking job action. We also talk about the provincial costs of the upcoming World Cup matches in Vancouver, and whether B.C. Ferries can handle what’s set to be another busy summer. Our political panel is Andrew Reeve (former press secretary and deputy director of communications with the BC Liberal and BC United parties), Adam Olsen (former Green Party MLA and member of the Tsartlip Nation), and Elizabeth Cull (former NDP cabinet minister), in discussion with CBC's Gregor Craigie.

Ferry tales used to be nightmares... not so much anymore

This is Vancouver takes you out to the high seas today, or at at least from Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay — a route that, at one time, could have meant rough waters. The CBC's Johanna Wagstaffe takes us inside the high-tech command centre where the call is made on when to cancel a ferry sailing due to bad weather. And then we'll hear a ferry tale of yore... before bad weather made the decision to travel for you.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has linked the murders of a 16-year-old and an 18-year-old to the ongoing gang conflict in B.C., much of which has played out in Surrey. We hear from Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke about resourcing at the Surrey Police Service. We also hear from Kal Dosanjh. He's worked in law enforcement for decades and personally knew one of the victims through his foundation, KidsPlay.
