Sheila Copps: Women in Politics
Click here for video: Former Deputy Prime Minister Sheila Copps on Women in Politics
In 1977, a young newspaper reporter from Hamilton, Ontario took a phone call from the local Liberal riding association: would she consider running for the provincial party? She was given 24 hours to decide. Sheila Copps said yes — and though she lost that first election, her political career was off and running. She would go on to become Canada’s first female Deputy Prime Minister, establishling a reputation along the way as one of the most ferociously outspoken figures in Canadian politics. Has she burnt her career in the Liberal Party? Will she come back? In a new installment of @issue’s continuing series on women in politics, host Karyn Pugliese talks to Sheila Copps about the high points — and low points — of her colourful 20-year career in public office.

Healing the Generations
For more than a century, the Canadian government forcibly removed thousands of Aboriginal children from their families, to be raised in church-run boarding schools, where many endured years of abuse. The residential school system has now been dismantled, and its survivors compensated. But there are 80,000 former students alive today — and the trauma they suffered is now having a profound impact on their own children. In this episode, host Karyn Pugliese looks at how the legacy of the residential schools is affecting a new generation. Of all the shows I produced for the 2010-2011 Season, this one got the most response. For air dates visit ichannel.ca.

Give Us Shelter
Victoria, once a city of tourism is now a city of poverty, and it’s getting worse. Reverend Al says at least two people die each week at his drop-in shelter, and shelters like his cannot keep up with the need.
But it’s not only a problem for those who minister to the poor. Small and large businesses say the poverty issue is ruining their livelihood. This is a clip from a documentary produced in 2006 for VisionTV.
