The Good Father

For four decades, Father Charles Sylvestre tended a number of Catholic parishes in southwestern Ontario. He had committed his life to serving God on earth.

But, during that time, Father Sylvestre had a secret - he sexually molested little girls between the ages of 7 and 14 and, for years, he got away with it because the church kept silent, protecting the priest and its own public image.

the fifth estate's Hana Gartner investigates the story of Father Sylvestre, through the testimony of some of his victims, police interrogation video, and senior members of the Catholic clergy.

Road Warriors

Experts say there is a potential 'road-rager' inside all of us. They also say that this brand of rage victimizes, from injury to death, more and more people every year. Tension fuels anger, anger fuels aggression - and according to the people who keep the stats, aggressive driving may be a factor in nearly two-thirds of all fatal car crashes.

Canada's roads are getting busier and busier and the most unlikely people can explode with rage. And there's no way to predict who will strike back.

We'd like to hear your road rage stories.
