Buried within the federal Budget Implementation Act are sweeping changes to the Navigable Water’s Protection Act. This week, Krystyn and Mark speak with Dr. Bob Bailey from the Canadian Outdoor Network, Peter Karwacki of the Friends of the Kipawa River, and author Joseph Boyden on the proposed changes and what they mean for navigation on Canadian waterways.

Music on this week’s show:

River in a Cage – Rusted Root
Ship of Fools – Ron Sexsmith

Can’t Find my Way Home – Blind Faith
