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.

Chapter 1 Hot question of the day Canada could soon become the first country in the world to require cigarette manufacturers to include warnings about the dangers of tobacco on individual cigarettes. The federal government has launched a consultation process looking at regulations around warnings on tobacco products. Canada is considering labelling individual cigarettes with health warnings. Do you think this will make people think twice about smoking? Yes No Chapter 2 Canada's Most Dangerous Places Maclean's Magazine recently put together a list of the most dangerous places in Canada based on the Crime Severity Index. Some of the findings on this list may be surprising to you. Like West Vancouver charting higher on the list than Surrey. Guest: Claire Brownell Associate Editor of Reports & Rankings at Maclean's (Author of Article) Chapter 3 What are the safest cities in Canada? We just heard from Claire Brownell about Maclean's magazine's ranking of most dangerous cities in Canada. Seeing a list like this may have some people wondering: is anywhere safe anymore? Do the small towns where you can leave your doors unlocked still exist? Chapter 4 Video installation works to show how it is difficult to ‘just walk away' from domestic abuse Battered Women's Support Services set up a jarring installation at a bus shelter in North Vancouver to help people understand what it can be like for women experiencing domestic abuse.At the bus shelter at Lonsdale Ave and 27th Street, a white door with a peephole was installed where a billboard usually would be. When someone looks through the peephole, a video plays of an abusive male outside of an apartment door. A message then appears on the screen stating, “You can just walk away. Some women can't.” The Battered Women's Support Services is hoping that this campaign will work to educate the public when it comes to leaving a violent relationship, it is not as simple as just walking away. Angela Marie MacDougall is the Executive Director of Battered Women's Support Services, and she joins us to discuss the interactive campaign, why the North Vancouver location was chosen, and how many requests for services the BWSS responds to every year. Guest: Angela Marie MacDougall Executive director of Battered Women's Support Services Chapter 5 Curtis Joseph recounts how being neglected as a child led to him being driven to succeed in the NHL Curtis Joseph, known affectionately to hockey fans around the world as Cujo, was an unlikely NHL superstar. 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. Guest: Curtis Joseph Former NHL goaltender Author of the new memoir, Cujo — The Untold Story Of My Life On And Off The Ice Chapter 6 Return of the Wolf Wolves were once common throughout North America and Eurasia. 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. Guest: Paula Wild Author of Return of the Wolf: Conflict and Coexistence Chapter 7 Cancer warning on every cigarette? Canada's considering it Canada could soon become the first country in the world to require cigarette manufacturers to include warnings about the dangers of tobacco on individual cigarettes. The federal government has launched a consultation process looking at regulations around warnings on tobacco products.Guest: Rob Cunningham Senior policy analyst for the Canadian Cancer Society Chapter 8 What does big tobacco think about the individual cigarette warning proposal? Guest: Eric Gagnon Head of corporate and regulatory affairs for Imperial Tobacco
