The Current for July 18, 2022
Today on The Current:
A senate report has concluded forced sterilization is much more prevalent than reported in Canada, and isn't confined to the past, but continues today. Guest host Duncan McCue talks to Senator Michèle Audette; author and survivor of forced sterilization Morningstar Mercredi, and Alisa Lombard, a lawyer representing women who say they were sterilized against their will in a class action lawsuit.
Then, new census data show more Canadians living with roommates into their 30s and 40s, unable to afford a place of their own. We talk to renters Aaron Ottho and Maggie Cameron, real estate agent Lesli Gaynor, and financial experts Armine Yalnizyan and Shannon Lee Simmons.
And we hear episode six of CBC podcast Kuper Island, hosted by Duncan McCue. The series investigates the dark history of a B.C. residential school, through the stories of survivors — and those who died. Read more about our summer podcast series here.
