This week, RCI celebrated it’s 70th anniversary, having been officially inaugurated on February 25th, 1945.
For the large majority of that time, RCI was blessed with a unique geographic location for its huge shortwave antenna array. in Sackville, New Brunswick.
An interdisciplinary artist in the area originally was making a soundscape about how people in the region would pick up strange sounds and voices on things like their sinks, toasters, refrigerators and so on.
In the course of that effort, she learned that the site which had become iconic in the area was being closed and the massive antennas, a landmark, would be cut down and the whole site demolished.
Wojtek spoke to .Amanda Dawn Christie about the amazing experimental film which she created.
It can be a very confusing and frustrating case for families, and its happening more and more often.
As elderly people develop dementia, they can end up making terrible financial decisions such as cancelling insurance policies or buying expensive cars, locking the families into financial situations they can’t afford.
Too often the companies involved are very unwilling to cooperate to unravel the situation.
Lynn spoke with Laura Tamblyn Watts, a lawyer and senior fellow for the Canadian Centre for Elder Law.
We’ve been hearing much about global warming and how that in turn is leading to climate change, but science journalist Ed Struzik has been seeing its effects in the Arctic for decades.
In fact, the Arctic he says, is like the canary in the coal mine, as the north is the fastest warming place on the planet.
He notes that dramatic changes have already taken place with more dramatic changes yet to come. In fact he says, the Arctic that we have known for millenia, is changing and changing forever.
He talks about those changes and planning for them is essential in order to avoid major catastrophes.
