The Current for April 23, 2019
Today on The Current: NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh discusses his new book, in which he says he was sexually abused as a child; plus, we look at the flooding in Quebec and why it's a problem that will only get worse for the whole country; and we hear how letters from migrants shed light on the 'intolerable' conditions inside U.S. detention centres.
Today on The Current:
- In his new book, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh alleges that he was sexually abused as a child. He speaks to Anna Maria Tremonti about the abuse, and why he hopes speaking out will help other survivors.
- We look at the flooding in Quebec, and examine how climate change is exacerbating a problem that could have an impact on the whole country.
- Appalled that migrants were being funnelled into a U.S. detention centre near their home, a group of San Diego residents starting writing letters — to the migrants themselves. And then the migrants wrote back, starting a conversation about the conditions they face, and what those ordinary on the outside could do to help.
