Your money: examines debit card fraud by exploring the methods used by criminals, tracing the activities of a Romanian gang operating across the country, looking at new technology--specifically "smart cards" and discussing the problem with bankers. Deadly prescription: examines the use and effects of the pain-killer narcotic, OxyContin or oxycodone hydrochloride. Purdue Pharma, who manufactures the drug, is facing approximately 400 lawsuits in the US concerning OxyContin. The addictive nature and current abuse of the drug in Canada are also examined.
