We reveal that companies are willing to break the law to buy Canadian plastic and show how some of it is dumped and burned in illegal landfills, where the toxic fumes and run-off is making people sick. Back in Canada, we buy nine tonnes of plastic and secretly track where big companies are taking it. Will it actually get recycled?

We test school boards across the country by asking one question: How many students have attacked other students? The majority of schools refused to answer, so we decided to just ask students themselves. We commissioned a national survey asking youth about their experiences with physical and sexual violence, homophobia and racism — from kindergarten to grade 12. This months-long CBC News and Marketplace investigation reveals student-on-student violence in schools is all too common, and drastically underreported.

We're testing popular skin lightening products sold in Canada to find out if the ingredients are as toxic as the marketing. They’re not authorized for sale here, yet we bought dozens of products from beauty supply stores in Toronto, Halifax, Vancouver and Montreal. Some of the promises: “whiter skin in 7 days”, “white in seconds”, use a “fairness meter” to check your results. The advertising is clearly harmful.
