Today in Paris, world leaders agreed to fight ISIS "by any means necessary" -- and a British MP tells us that means nothing less than total war...A feature interview with Richard Wagamese, whose new novel, Medicine Walk, takes an estranged father and son on an unsentimental journey...and David Greenman wreaks havoc, and just plain reeks, in a garlic-eating contest that saw him going head to head -- and emerging rank, and top-ranked.

Part Three

Richard Wagamese feature interview
A feature interview with Ojibway author Richard Wagamese, in which he discusses the father and son healing journey chronicled in his new novel 'Medicine Walk' -- and how it relates to Canada's long, painful journey toward reconciliation.
