About this episode
A Canadian that was aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship tests presumptive positive for hantavirus. B.C. health officials provide an update and the patient is now in hospital for what the Public Health Agency of Canada calls "assessment and care."
Also: A federal bill could give police and spies easier access to information during high stakes investigations. Bill C-22, also known as the lawful access bill, is facing a political storm. It's already attracted concern from Canadian privacy advocates. And now, US tech giants, too.
And: From odering take-out to finding a date, there truly is an app for everything now. Even proof of life. A morbid sounding app named "Are You Dead?" has gone viral in China. Its shining a spotlight on the issue of loneliness, in a country where a growing number of people are living by themselves.
Plus: Hunger Crisis in Nigeria, Falling crime in Venezuela's capital, Montreal Canadiens play Game 6 against the Buffalo Sabres, and more.
