Part One

Fort McMurray: councillor
From the Premier of Alberta to residents of Fort McMurray, everyone's talking about rebuilding -- but one city councillor suggests people add a dose of realism to their hope. 

Newfoundland residential schools settlement
After fighting in court for more than ten years, residential school survivors in Newfoundland and Labrador finally reach a settlement with the federal government. 

Antique jug
An Oregon woman is shocked to find an Antiques Roadshow expert valued a weird-looking nineteenth-century ceramic jug at fifty thousand dollars -- because she made it in high school. 

Part Two

Seattle stadium vote
When all five women on Seattle city council vote against a sports arena that might have lured an NBA team back to the city, sports fans don't just get mad -- they get ugly. 

Promposal blogger
The "promposal" is a thing now. A thing where people publicly ask other people to the prom. Sometimes, people with disabilities. And blogger Michael Mort believes some of these promposals range from mildly condescending to outright degrading. 

Part Three

Dryden GoFundMe
George John Dryden's quest to prove he was the son of John Diefenbaker earned him the nickname "Diefenbaby." But to Merry Ellen Unan, he was George. And now, Ms. Unan is struggling to find a way to fulfill her late friend's last wishes. 

Bundy livestock
The Bundys are in jail, but their livestock's on the loose. Now, environmental groups are calling on the U.S. government to seize the cattle belonging to the stand off-prone, anti-government rancher Cliven Bundy.
