Canadians everywhere are familiar with the broad outlines of the infamous Airbus story. In recent years there have been countless news stories filed on what has become Canada’s biggest political scandal. What few know is the story of how this scandal was unearthed. How one determined journalist kept the story alive — kept picking at the pieces and posing the difficult questions the government would have preferred to avoid. The public had the right to know that millions of taxpayers’ dollars went missing in the sale of Airbus jets to a Canadian Crown Corporation, and they had a right to know where that money ended up. The Truth Shows Up is a compelling and fast-paced, behind-the-scenes journey with one journalist, and a team of colleagues, who followed this story from the very beginning. In 1994 Harvey Cashore, then an Associate Producer with CBC’s the fifth estate, was working on a news story about bribes in the airline industry. What he came across were the first fragments on what would become known as the Airbus scandal, a tale of bribes and kickbacks at the highest level of federal power.
