August 15, 2017ByTim Bousquet20 Comments

News 1. Abortion “Nova Scotia is the only province in Canada where women must obtain a physician’s referral before making an abortion appointment,” reports Brett Bundale for the Canadian Press: Advocates say Nova Scotia is now one of the most difficult provinces in the country in which to access abortion, with women requiring a referral for […]

The Tideline, with Tara Thorne

Episode 65 of The Tideline, with Tara Thorne, is published.

Here at the top of February things are normal: It’s freezing, the sidewalks are a mess, and Nova Scotia Power wants to hike the rates. Neil Young threw a big punch at Spotify that actually landed, but was it for the right reasons? (Spoiler alert: LOL.) No one can stop talking about Euphoria, the HBO show that single-handedly revived a dead film stock and set a record for non-pornographic full-frontal male nudity — that also happens to be made by the son of an Oscar-winning producer and director (it’s always the hardest-working ones who succeed.) W. Kamau Bell bravely waded into The Discourse with his searing, can’t-miss series We Need To Talk About Cosby, and in our only bit of joy news, Mitski finally returns with Laurel Hell (just in time for Bandcamp Friday’s triumphant comeback). That’s a lot for one week! Plus songs by Mo Kenney, Terra Spencer, and Aquakultre.

Uncover: Dead Wrong

In 1995, Brenda Way was brutally murdered behind a Dartmouth apartment building. In 1999, Glen Assoun was found guilty of the murder. He served 17 years in prison, but steadfastly maintained his innocence. In 2019, Glen Assoun was fully exonerated.

Halifax Examiner founder and investigative journalist Tim Bousquet has followed the story of Glen Assoun's wrongful conviction for over five years. Now, Bousquet tells that story as host of Season 7 of the CBC podcast series Uncover: Dead Wrong.
