The Current for July 1, 2019
Today on The Current: Canada geese have been wreaking havoc all over the U.S. and here's how an expert is humanely trying to control their populations; then, the mysterious allure of Oak Island in Nova Scotia, site of the world’s longest-running treasure hunt; and writer Ann Hui explores uniquely Chinese-Canadian food across the country.
Today on The Current:
- Canada geese originally hail from Canada, but now they're fowl-ing things up in their new home south of the border. Guest host Megan Williams investigates the exploding population and how a wildlife expert is trying to humanely thin the country's ranks of these pesky waterfowl.
- No one knows what's buried on Nova Scotia's Oak Island — or even whether there's anything buried there at all. This hasn't stopped explorers from hunting for treasure on the island for centuries. Author Randall Sullivan dug into the history and lore of the land.
- Dishes like ginger beef, egg rolls and spare ribs have been staples on many Chinese food menus across Canada. But in reality, these dishes aren't authentically Chinese. Author and journalist Ann Hui sampled the food and culture of Canadian-Chinese restaurants, and wrote about what she found in Chop Suey Nation: The Legion Cafe and Other Stories from Canada's Chinese Restaurants.
