Part One

People in Quebec must now show proof of vaccination to do dozens of formerly run-of-the mill activities, creating what our guest calls an ethical minefield.
Northernmost Island
Beside the top of the world. An Arctic researcher explains how he and his colleagues accidentally discovered what they believe is the northernmost island on Earth.
Triceratops Skeleton For Sale
Horns of a dilemma. A 66-million-year-old Triceratops fossil nicknamed "Big John" is up for private sale -- and paleontologists like our guest are up in arms about what that means for her field.

And…you must re-member this. The Welsh flag is adorned with a proud red dragon -- but an online petition insists it would be prouder if that dragon had male genitals.
Part Two

Loved and lost. An Afghan Canadian who's been working to focus Ottawa's attention on the dangers facing Afghanistan's Hazara minority says some of his relatives made it out -- but others have been impossible to reach.
