Air Canada flight attendants are striking, and I get it. Imagine doing 35 hours of unpaid labour every week, while being responsible for safety at 35,000 feet.

Disclosure: An earlier version of this episode, up for about 30 minutes, had a significant factual error in it. This version of the video has removed that part of the script.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
