    How a little known bank is trying to build big things in Canada

    The Canada Infrastructure Bank has been around since 2017, and originally it was meant to help build huge infrastructure across the country. In fact, one person involved in its launch promised you’d be able to see some of the infrastructure from space. But those massive projects never materialized and that put the whole bank at peril until it changed course recently. Adam Radwanski, who covers climate policy for The Globe and Mail, explains how this bank is trying to change its reputation and what likely will happen if it doesn’t. Questions? Comments? Ideas?

    Canada is taking on the Taliban over women’s rights

    Canada has joined three other countries in a legal process to hold the Taliban accountable for discriminating against women by enacting increasingly oppressive laws. These range from barring them from education beyond the sixth grade, to a ban on women’s voices being heard in public. Globe reporter Janice Dickson talks about what life is like for women in Afghanistan now, how this legal challenge is expected to work and the significance of this attempt to hold the Taliban to account.

    In Her Defence: 50th Street starts tomorrow

    Amber Tuccaro was 20 years old when she left her infant son with a friend at a motel on the outskirts of Edmonton, and got into a vehicle with an unknown man. She was never seen alive again. But Amber left an important clue: A chilling recording of what appear to be the final moments of her life, and the voice of the man who may be her killer. Days after police released that recording to the public, Amber’s remains were found in a field outside the city. She would be one of five women whose bodies were discovered in that area, and one of dozens more found in rural areas around Edmonton, the victims of a suspected serial killer – or killers. Following the success of the hit first season, In Her Defence: 50th Street takes listeners to Amber’s home in the Indigenous community of Fort Chipewyan, Alta., retracing the final days of Amber’s life, and revealing suspects and information that have never before been made public. In Her Defence: 50th Street explores the flawed police investigation into Amber’s disappearance and death, and asks serious questions about her unsolved killing. Was Amber’s case compromised by a racist and biased police investigation? And does it mean a serial killer is still out there?

    A massive cyanide leak and the cost of gold

    Back in June, there was a massive accident at the Eagle gold mine in central Yukon, on traditional Na-Cho Nyak Dun territory — 4 million tonnes of cyanide-laced rock collapsed. Surrounding surface and groundwater soon had elevated cyanide levels, and dozens of fish died. Cleanup efforts are underway, but now, the storage ponds are nearly full of cyanide solution and are at risk of another cyanide spill. Niall McGee is the Globe’s mining reporter. He’s on the show to explain what we know about this accident, what happened with the mine’s owner, and why it’s so crucial that they figure out how to treat the cyanide soon.

    How the Conservatives tried (and failed) to trigger an election

    On Wednesday, a Conservative non-confidence motion was voted down by the other parties in the House of Commons. But it’s just the first of many to come this fall. And most of them will land on special parliamentary days, called opposition days. Campbell Clark is the chief political writer at The Globe and Mail. He explains how opposition days work, how the different parties will use them strategically and what all of this means for the possibility of a snap election. Questions? Comments? Ideas?

    The politics of B.C.’s involuntary care

    Last week, days before the British Columbia election was called, Premier David Eby announced a new plan for mental health and addictions care. B.C. already has involuntary care as part of the Mental Health Act — but this would allow it for people with concurrent addictions, mental illness, and brain injuries. This move has wide support among British Columbia’s political leadership — but civil rights advocates are pushing back. Andrea Woo is a B.C.-based reporter for the Globe who has reported extensively on the toxic drug crisis. She’s on the show to talk about the possible impact of this announcement, and why we’re hearing about it now. Questions? Comments? Ideas? Email us at thedecibel@globeandmail.com

    The rules for buying a house are changing

    Last week, the Liberal government announced they’re bringing in new mortgage rules to help first-time buyers get into the market. The changes would help buyers to get into the market with lower down payments and lower monthly payments, but can mean more interest in the long run. Rachelle Younglai is the Globe’s real estate reporter. She’s on the show to talk about what these changes mean for buyers, and what effect they might have on the housing market. Join Globe reporters Rachelle Younglai and Erica Alini for a live Q&A and ask your questions on new mortgage rules on Monday September 23 at 12 p.m. ET: tgam.ca/new-mortgage-rules
