"When the LRT came to our neighbourhood, it was designed for an arena and a mall," says Scott Rollans, a resident of Central McDougall in Edmonton. In episode eight we ponder how that happened.

In episode two we speak with Dr. Darren Markland about the way we talk about drivers who hit (and often kill) pedestrians on our roads."If you want to kill somebody, you get into a car — because you can be assured you won't be charged with anything more than a minor driving fine," Markland says. "I think we really need to take away the blinders."…
