Good News Tuesday is built on a simple idea: when you can’t find the good, sometimes hearing it from someone else is enough to turn you around. This one brings the next NASA moon crew, a child in Nanaimo doing something remarkable at three in the morning, a stolen car with a very large dog in the back, and a string of transformative philanthropic gifts to Canadian healthcare and universities.

When people say the country is struggling and generosity is gone, the Weston family’s forty-one million dollar gift to Sunnybrook and Simon Fraser University’s record forty million dollar donation from the Stevens family suggest otherwise. The good is there. It usually is.

A listener named Kevin from Winnipeg figured that out once. This is the segment that convinced him.
