This week, the Mass Casualty Commission is taking a break from its examination of the facts and circumstances of the events in Portapique on April 18th and 19th of 2020. And out of respect for the families, Colchester North MLA Tom Taggart is also taking time to reflect. He currently represents the region that includes the tiny community where the events unfolded two years ago. At the time, he was a municipal councillor for the area. He was part of a ceremony last week that saw Portapique and its residents being presented with the Lieutenant Governor's Community Spirit award. That is the topic he was willing to discuss. That and the resilience of the people who still live there and call it home.

Helping people is more expensive

It's not always easy to get the story behind the story. Journalism is about the Five W's that report the facts but to Sheldon, context is key. It's not just how, but how come. In this show, he talks to the people behind the headlines to find out why we should care. And in the digital age, nothing tells a story better than the voice of the person involved, or the people who can look at it critically and speak about it. We hope to tell the stories that can help us understand not just why something happened, but why it matters.
