In the last four years 28,000 people have been killed in Mexico's drug war. Most of those are drug traffickers, police and others on the front lines. But what about the rest of the population?

On this Operation Wakeup special on CKDU Radio, we look at how far the drug war touches everyday lives. Guests include security expert Edgardo Buscaglia, on the line from Afghanistan, where he is currently working; Canadian ex-pat Fred Harland calling from a village near Guadalajara; Julie Chamagne, director of the Halifax Refugee Clinic; and in the studio a mother and daughter tell how they were forced to flee for their lives when they ran afoul of a hit squad.
