“Bitter Harvest” tells the stories of workers who are rarely given a voice, with unprecedented access into their lives and their struggles. They may be foreign workers, but this is very much a Canadian story. And, if you shop in a grocery store, you are part of their story, too

Cameron Ortis was once the RCMP's top intelligence officer. But today he is in custody, facing charges of revealing secrets to unauthorized people and plotting to leak even more. The Fifth Estate's Bob McKeown tells the inside story of how his alleged crimes came to light, a remarkable tale that involves a Mexican drug cartel, Australian biker gangs and a world of gambling, money laundering and encrypted phones. It's a story that features a successful Vancouver company that made its fortune selling phones to the criminal underworld, and an American who styles himself as Robin Hood, but who eventually went to the FBI with a story that ultimately revealed secrets being offered for sale at the highest levels of the RCMP. Also: Dave Seglins brings us the latest details into our investigation of the crash of CP Rail Train 301, which killed three people last year in British Columbia. It's a crash that was investigated by CP's own police force. Now there are calls for the federal government to step in and to bar rail company police forces from investigating their own companies.

The Fifth Estate's Mark Kelley takes a close look at the political scandal involving Prime Minister Trudeau and the WE Charity, including an interview with co-founders Craig and Marc Kielburger.

An officer from the Niagara Regional Police Service had been shot multiple times... by a fellow officer. And somehow, the victim survived. It was November 2018. I always wanted to know the story behind the shooting. What I didn't know then is, two years later, I would spend months looking into the incident for The Fifth Estate. What we uncovered was a story even bigger than the sensational shooting. It's a story that touches on the secrecy and shortcomings of the police discipline process in Canada. A story of missed warning signs and a lack of accountability that comes at a defining time in our history, with red hot public protests demanding a better system of policing the police. And rather than simply focusing on a problem, this is a story that offers solutions.

For-profit foster care. It’s a term that raises fundamental questions for our child protection system. Should the care of children at risk be a public responsibility or a private business opportunity? And which comes first, care or profit? On The Fifth Estate tonight, Fatal Care investigates that essential issue through the tragic events which came to a head on Feb. 19, 2019 at a private, for-profit foster home in Barrie, Ont. On that terrible night, 15-year-old David Roman was stabbed to death, but everyone in the house was a victim. That includes foster brothers Evan and Nick, who witnessed it all, and 24-year-old Jordan, the foster parent caring for a household of troubled teens with little training. It also includes 14-year old James, now charged in David’s death. And we’ll also introduce you to the company which made profit from the Barrie foster home, the serious questions about how they conducted business, and the lack of oversight by government officials. In our second story of the episode, reporter Judy Trinh tells the troubling story of the Ottawa Police Service and its culture of sexism. You’ll hear from female officers and civilian employees who have endured everything from harassment to rape at the hands of their male colleagues.

The Fifth Estate is drilling into one of the biggest financial frauds in Canadian history - a story my colleague, producer Harvey Cashore, has been doggedly pursuing for years. We have been piecing together clues Harvey has collected to try to find money that was stolen from pensioners and everyday investors- revealing where it might have been hidden. When Harvey reached out to the reputed ringleader of the fraud, convicted in the crime and now out on parole, and asked him for an interview... well, we didn't expect a response. But Lino Matteo sat down with us to explain how he saw the fraud unfold. It's a rare and sometimes uncomfortable conversation and a fascinating peek into the criminal mind. In our second story of the episode, Asha Tomlinson hosts "Black on Campus," telling stories of Black Canadians who say they've been targeted by university administrators because of their race. And activists say anti-Black racism is plaguing the long hallways of higher learning.

One of the greatest Hollywood movies ever is “One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest”, starring Jack Nicholson as a man who trades his term in prison for time in a mental institution because he believes it will be easier for him. Instead, he finds himself trapped in a psychiatric ward where patients are bullied and abused by staff using physical intimidation, massive doses of medication and invasive treatments such as electro-shock. The film was styled as a dark comedy. But over the years, The Fifth Estate has done a number of investigations which reveal that what's gone on in some Canadian psychiatric hospitals is no laughing matter. Tonight’s episode shows another troubling example we’ve uncovered. “Treatment or Torture” is the twisted tale of bizarre experiments in the 1970s and 80s at two Ontario hospitals for the criminally insane. The experiments were creations of influential psychiatrists at the time. In particular, the so-called research led by Dr. Elliot Barker of the Oak Ridge Psychiatric Hospital at Penetanguishene, Ontario, whose radical ideas eventually were replicated at the St. Thomas Psychiatric Hospital in St. Thomas, Ontario. Incredibly, Barker's plan was to send criminally-insane male sex offenders from Oak Ridge to direct the treatment given to female psychiatric patients at St. Thomas, literally a case of inmates running the asylum. Tonight you'll meet the controversial Canadian psychiatrist who believed he had a secret cure for psychopaths and the patients, both men and women, who experienced that real-life “One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.” In our second story of tonight’s episode, Vik Adhopia shows us how Canadian women who believe a birth control implant led to sometimes years of extensive pain, are fighting for a measure of justice and compensation. Thousands of Canadian women received the implant called Essure, which was marketed as a permanent birth control device. It was

When police don't knock," looks at how often police in Canada are using no-knock raids. Who decides when they should be used, and who is answerable for the innocent people sometimes caught in the crosshairs of a mistake? For our second story of tonight’s episode, "Broken honour: sexual misconduct in the military," with Tom Murphy. In a program called Operation Honour, the Canadian Armed Forces pledged to stamp out sexual violence that had reached crisis levels in its ranks. Our investigation reveals how military police and justice officials fell below the standards of the civilian world, and how the man at the top, Gen. Jonathan Vance, touted the program’s success even though it secured few criminal convictions. Former insiders call for sexual assault investigations to be taken out of the hands of the military.

Genetic genealogy is the newest frontier in police work, and detectives in Toronto say they are using the technique to hunt a killer responsible for two unsolved murders in 1983. It's the same technique that allowed police to identify the real killer of nine-year-old Christine Jessop, who was abducted from Queensville, Ont., before being raped and killed in 1984 — a case that resulted in the years-long wrongful conviction of Guy Paul Morin. Now they have turned their attention to the 1983 unsolved murders of 22-year-old Erin Gilmour and 45-year-old Susan Tice. Both women were sexually assaulted and stabbed to death in their beds, four months apart in 1983. In our second story, we ask the question: can parents turn their child into a chess genius? Since the hit Netflix series "The Queen's Gambit" captured worldwide attention, many parents have wondered how their son or daughter could become the next Beth Harmon. Terence McKenna explores the very different kinds of outcomes in his documentary, "Recipe for Genius."
