About this episode

RCMP have arrested members of an alleged hit squad for the murder of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Police say the accused are members of an Indian gang and could be connected to three other murders in Canada. Last fall, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused the Indian government of ordering Nijjar’s killing. Also: A public inquiry report says there was foreign interference in the last two federal elections, though not enough to affect who won. But the report warns: things are going to get worse. Plus: Lost and abandoned fishing gear is a huge environmental problem. Groups doing the cleanups say they will have to stop unless they get more money from Ottawa.
