In 2023, wildfires ravaged Canada’s forests, consuming over 16.5 million hectares of land, twice
the previous record set in 1989 and over 6.5 times the national average of area affected.

So what can be done? This week we’ll talk with Mike Morrow, a Wildfire Prevention Officer with
the BC Wildfire Service and Jen Beverly, an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Agriculture at
the University of Alberta, about the reality of what’s happening on the ground and the practices
that can help mitigate the severity of wildfires. We also talk to Dr. Jamie Stephen of Torchlight
Bioresources about how the timber produced from thinning can be used to fuel a promising new
energy source: biomass.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
