A flood of unkept promises for Peguis First Nation

Spring flooding has once again forced evacuations in Peguis First Nation, as rising waters along the Fisher River threaten homes and safety. Chief Stan Bird warns the situation could echo the devastating 2022 flood that displaced roughly 2,000 residents, many of whom have yet to return. For decades, annual flooding has disrupted life in the community, bringing repeated promises from federal leaders to find a permanent solution. On this week's episode, we hear why those commitments have yet to materialize.

Concerns grow after Manitoba deaths following paid plasma donations

Health Canada says three people in Canada have died after giving plasma in the last decade –– and all of them were in Manitoba. A CBC News investigation found two of those people died after giving plasma at Winnipeg collection centres that pay people for donations. One was a 22-year-old international student at the University of Winnipeg who had dreams of becoming a social worker. The two cases are under review by Health Canada, which says it has not made a link between plasma collection and the deaths. Grifols, the company that runs the centres, says it has "no reason to believe" they are connected. But the news has caused concern. Today, we’re digging into the fallout: a shaken student community and the province considering banning paid plasma donation. Others, like Georgetown University ethics Prof. Peter Jaworksi, say banning paid donations could have negative consequences.
