How did a small town Canadian boy allegedly become a narco kingpin? Ryan Wedding was once a promising young athlete, a snowboarder who went all the way to the Olympics. Now captured after a decade on the run, he’s accused of running a deadly international drug trafficking empire. In this new podcast from CBC and the Toronto Star, featuring new on-the-ground reporting and original interviews, host Michelle Shephard and reporter Calvi Leon investigate the Canadian who the FBI called a “modern day El Chapo” and ask: what will it take to bring him to justice?
