Part 1: Is New Brunswick Cov­er­ing Up A Dead­ly Brain Disease?

There’s a mys­tery dis­ease that’s plagu­ing peo­ple in New Brunswick. Peo­ple as young as 18 are see­ing the results of full-blown demen­tia. Des­per­a­tion is tak­ing hold for fam­i­lies that feel answers are still a long way away.

It starts with some mus­cle pain or spasms, before basic tasks like read­ing become impos­si­ble. For many, the dis­ease pro­gress­es to full-blown demen­tia. For patients and fam­i­lies gov­ern­ment response has proven to be lack­lus­ter and des­per­a­tion and frus­tra­tion is tak­ing hold as the search for answers drags on.

Part 2: Rebel Nurs­es
Health­care work­ers against pan­dem­ic restric­tions tell on them­selves by suing for libel. And two Hait­ian jour­nal­ists die report­ing for a Mon­tréal online radio sta­tion.

Colum­nist Emi­lie Nico­las co-hosts.
