BC Earthquake (Length 16:06)
On a quiet Saturday evening in the fall of 2012, the coast of British Columbia was rocked by a 7.7 magnitude earthquake. Though no lives were lost and little damage was reported, the quake did reveal weakness in Canada's emergency preparedness.

Rob Ford: Toronto’s Controversial Mayor (Length: 15:22)

Eight Days: Israel and Hamas (Length 17:24)
For eight violent days in 2012, rockets and missiles were launched over the Israel-Gaza border. It was the most serious violence between Israel and Hamas in years. CBC reporters entered the zone to try and understand the viewpoints of both sides in the conflict.
