Sixteen bison were reintroduced to Banff National Park in 2017. That number will swell to around 100 after this year's calving season. Matt Galloway visits Tsuut'ina Nation in Alberta to hear about bringing back beasts that once roamed Canada in the millions.
Then, Russia’s Wagner Group says they have taken the city of Bakhmut, but Ukraine says that’s not true. We talk to a photojournalist in Ukraine who has covered the long and bloody battle for Bakhmut, and discuss what it says about the course of a war that continues to grind on.
And the Halifax Declaration lists demands and expectations for improving the lives of Black Canadians. Galloway talks to former governor general Michaëlle Jean, whose foundation spearheaded the document’s creation; and one of its authors, the activist and poet El Jones.
