Gun buy back program, 'Hands off Greenland' protests, Drift logs threatening ocean species, and more

About this episode

The federal government has unveiled the next steps in its national gun buyback program. Since 2020, Ottawa has banned about 2,500 models of what it calls "assault-style" firearms, offering Canadians compensation to hand them in. But the program is under fire from some gun owners, and not all parts of the country are co-operating.


Also: In Greenland, Denmark, and Iqaluit - thousands of protesters came together with a unified message: "Hands off Greenland". U.S. President Donald Trump is escalating his efforts to annex the territory by threatening tariffs on European countries that try to stand in his way.


And: It's almost considered a classic thing to see in British Columbia - drift logs scattered along beaches and waterways. What many people may not realize is those logs are destroying critical ecosystems that keep the ocean healthy.


Plus: First Nation sues the U.S. government over oil and gas development, Cartagena replaces horse-drawn carriages, Music's effect on the brain, and more.
