Today on The Current:
- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the approval of the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline, and our weekly national affairs panellists weigh in on this latest twist in the long-running fight, including how it might shape the fall election.
- In 2014, Anna Maria Tremonti chatted with self-described cyborg Neil Harbisson, who has a surgically-implanted device that has given him a sixth sense — the ability to hear colour. We listen back on that musical conversation.
- It's been more than six years since Paul Salopek set off on his trek across the world on foot. Along the way, he's been checking in with Tremonti to share the stories of his journey. We revisit some of their previous conversations, and get one final update from the traveller.
