On tonight's show, we speak to an Alberta dad, Warren Henschel, about his take on the province of Alberta bringing back what they call "seclusion rooms" - really, they're solitary confinement. His son has autism, and has suffered through one. Peter Silverstone, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Alberta talks about alarming rates of PTSD in Fort McMurray as a result of the forest fires. Finally, Erin Little joins us to talk about how Health Canada has hiked the price of a medication for her daughter, the staves off blindness thanks to a disorder called cystinosis.
