We figured an on-camera interview would be more enlightening than an email (no offence to your email, Bob), so here it is. 4:50 | Bob Covey tells us why he was pissed off after watching our October 16 episode. Plus, we get an up-to-the-minute account of Jasper's recovery, and hear more about that CN story some are saying could devastate the town's economy.
