The Current for March 9, 2020
Today on The Current: A small Ontario community on the shore of Lake Erie has been ordered to evacuate over flooding fears; but some worry they’ll never be allowed to return to their homes. We talk to people in Chatham-Kent about what they stand to lose, and discuss how climate change could make stories like this more commonplace. Plus, we talk to activists in Mexico about a strike action on Monday, to protest high rates of violence against women and girls in the country. Then, we discuss coronavirus quarantine measures affecting roughly 16 million people in Italy. And finally, author Richard Louv discusses our connection to nature, and why we should pay closer attention to the non-human life all around us.
