36 years ago, a 20-minute massacre in Montreal left Canadians in a state of shock. 36 years later, more action is still required, as femicide remains a deadly reality in today’s technologically-advanced upbringing. Geoffrey Johnston, an International Affairs columnist with the Kingston Whig-Standard, joins Andrew Pinsent in Hour 2. On a much lighter note, Christmas is the season of giving, but the frigid December weather can often provide a good excuse to warm up near an open fire. But in the case of Carleton University sociologist Tonya Davidson, she spends her free time writing. We examine her latest creation – a crash-course on ‘Ottawology’. Plus, in today’s edition of This Week In History, Craig Baird from Canadian History EHX reflects on the cultural impact of a popular Canadian mini-series. Hint: Every single Maritimer has probably watched this.
