When the CBC aired the Powerless program, I was in a drilling rig camp.  I watched it on the television in the rec room. I assumed that the next day the story would be in the two local Calgary dailies as it had aired nationally.  We used to get the newspaper from truckers, and so for a couple of days I actually looked at the Calgary Sun, something I would ordinarily do only if there were no other alternative for wrapping fish.  There was nothing in the paper.  Months later, When AARC sued Christine Lunn, the Sun printed an article that had a small head-line stating that Christine Lunn had sued AARC, the exact inverse of reality. 
With regard to the CBC program, I would encourage anyone who wishes to, to share it.  AARC sued the CBC for $16 million, alleging that they failed to properly vet the subjects who spoke on the program.  AARC maintains that their subjects are manipulative, conniving criminals.  I guess that's why they used to put teenagirl Newcomers under the authority of male Oldcomers, because of course those manipulative cons were ideal characters to act in loco parentis.  Likewise the AARC staff was composed of these same liars, cons and manipulaters to a large degree.  In the world of behaviour modification operating under the guise of faith-based addiction treatment, anything goes.

Ajax -  I was doing  another Edit prior to seeing your most recent comment  - just to correct some words add some words and give credit to where I had found those articles I had for  the links on my comment . Though still keeping the grist of what I was trying to convey. maybe expounding on it,  a bit, and trying to put in a more coherent  fashion -  for people reading besides as well.         
 
I am going use the link of yours to share , absolutely to people who might be ignorant of the trail from here , US   the name changes as  how this industry plays the game of hide as it runs elsewhere under another name gets pounded down( the wack a mole  ) and closed under the new name and then this practice  runs to Canada under a new name to finally gets a little spotlighting on its practices and origins, from  that  good CBC  report .

Sadly many know that this is the m.o. of many of these programs, they  get busted abusing children under this name move to another state or next county even - and change the name and its business as usual. AARC's  creation and trail is well documented and makes it so much more easy as a tool to explain  and exhibit -  more clearly than writing about it. It is matter of fact and straight forward.
