I think the CBC is increasing its coverage of Northern issues, in both news and documentary features. Last night after The National, they played a fantastic documentary about the Barren-Ground Caribou, and how climate change is affecting them.
(ie: more snow means more digging for moss; more rain means the formation of an ice crust which can cut their legs; different weather means more mosquitoes; temperature changes mean babies are born at different times in the migration schedule, etc.)
It’s always interesting to watch a national TV cover local affairs, and this is just further depressing proof that climate change is changing — ie: messing up — the arctic.

I had a rehearsal in the CBC building last night, and they had this museum there of CBC stuff (tv shows, old radios whatever). Anyways, they had parts of the set from….THE FRIENDLY GIANT! The chair for two to snuggle up into, the rooster in a bag guy….CBC fucking rocks.
