Part One

Trump quits Iran deal
President Trump unilaterally pulls the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal, surprising no one but disappointing many — including the man who originally negotiated it.  

Windstorm arborist obit
A friend remembers Adam Sura — a 28-year-old Ontario arborist who died last Friday, after being hit by a falling tree while working during a powerful windstorm. 

Sourdough library
After hearing a CBC Radio documentary, a Belgian man who runs a "sourdough library" travels to Whitehorse for a sample of a baker's 120-year-old starter. 

Part Two

Vancouver refugee
Today, a Syrian refugee arrived safely in Canada with the help of an American sponsor, Tom Smith — who looked North when his own country failed to embrace those fleeing the war. 

Mosque gun letter
Mohamed Hassine attends the Quebec City mosque that was the site of a deadly shooting last year — which is why he wants the Prime Minister to include a ban on assault weapons in the government's firearms bill. 

Part Three

Iran student
With the agreement in tatters, the President may have scored political points at home — but our guest in Iran fears he's made a bad situation there worse. 

Sunshine the Goat
After four years in quarantine — and a narrow escape from death — Sherry Milford is elated that Sunshine the goat can return home to the Piebird Farm Sanctuary and Vegan Farmstay.
