Arts-Culture #38 (Sun Mar 17, 2013) Dog Dazed: Canadian film doc on our fascination with dogs, and conflicts between owners and non-owners

Bountiful films of Vancouver has looked into the culture of dog ownership in North America, and produced a film documentary called Dog Dazed.

Grave concern over low Great Lakes water levels
The Great Lakes of North America constitute an enormous reservoir of fresh water. The surface area of Lake Superior alone at over 82-thousand square kilometres is virtually the size of Ireland.
It is a vital drinking water source to 8,5 million Canadians , and many millions more in the US.
