A father who killed his four- and six-year-old daughters on Christmas Day in 2017 will have to serve 22 years before he's eligible for parole.   B.C. Supreme Court Justice Miriam Gropper told Andrew Berry that he committed heinous crimes against his daughters as she sentenced him today in Victoria.   A jury convicted Berry of second-degree murder in September in the violent deaths of his daughters, Aubrey and Chloe Berry. Second-degree murder brings an automatic life sentence but Gropper had to determine Berry's parole eligibility.Gropper says Berry will serve the sentences concurrently.   The trial heard each girl had been stabbed dozens of times and Berry was found naked and unconscious in the bathtub of his Oak Bay apartment suffering from stab wounds to his neck and throat. The tragic deaths of Audrey and Chloe Berry have put the issue of child custody agreements under the microscope. According to the girls' mother, Sarah Cotton, Berry had been physically, verbally and emotionally violent during their common-law union. In her statement after the sentencing, Cotton stated that the legal system is an “incredibly acrimonious system and one that favours equal parenting time over the safety and wellbeing of the child.” Cotton also called for changes to be made to the “legislation governing divorce and separation, mediation, parenting time and access to children.”  Our next guest is Angela Marie MacDougall, Executive Director of the Battered Women's Support Services, and she believes that more training is needed to help judges understand the warning signs of family violence.   Guest: Angela Marie MacDougall Executive Director of the Battered Women's Support Services

The boy from Keswick, Ontario, didn't put on a pair of skates until most kids his age were already far along in organized hockey, and he was passed over by every team in the NHL draft. Despite an unorthodox start, he would go on to play eighteen seasons with the St. Louis Blues, Edmonton Oilers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Detroit Red Wings, Phoenix Coyotes and Calgary Flames; be ranked among the all-time greats in several key categories; and win an Olympic gold medal while representing Canada. Joseph is a legend in Toronto and Edmonton, where his fandom rivals that of other beloved NHL greats, and he's widely thought of as one of the best goalies of all time.

But by the early twentieth century, bounties and organized hunts had drastically reduced their numbers. Today, the wolf is returning to its ancestral territories, and the "coywolf"--a smaller, bolder wolf-coyote hybrid--is becoming more common. In Return of the Wolf, author Paula Wild gathers first-hand accounts of encounters with wolves and consults with wildlife experts for suggestions on how minimize conflict, respond to aggressive wolves and coexist with the apex predator.Wild explores the latest theories on how wolves became dogs, the evolving strategies to prevent livestock predation, and why Eurasian wolves seem more aggressive toward humans than their North American cousins. She also addresses the many misconceptions about wolves: for example, that they howl when hungry, kill for pleasure and always live in packs. What is true is that a wolf possesses a howl as unique as a human fingerprint and can trot eight kilometres per hour for most of the day or night in search of prey while using earth's magnetic field to find its way. Some scientists consider wolves' complex social structures and family bonds closer to humans' than those of primates.
