Friday, November 11, 2016 - Remembering Leonard Cohen
Tonight, we dedicate the As It Happens podcast to the life of poet and musician Leonard Cohen. We'll hear from those who loved him and collaborated with him over his long career.
Thursday, November 10, 2016 - Donald Trump is big on the word "unbelievable." Unfortunately, it's a word he also applies to climate change -- and a prominent scientist says the president-elect's environmental agenda could be disastrous.
Also, a sense of the senselessness. A Maryland man visiting Toronto for a bachelor party is viciously beaten outside a club and later dies -- and tonight, his father tells us about the late Julian Jones.
Wednesday, November 9, 2016 - The end of establishment politics. People are predictably polarized in the United States today -- but almost no one predicted what they would be polarized about: Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election.
Also, held up by the Rust Belt. The Republican candidate was lifted to victory by a part of the country that was once the heart of industry -- and one Ohio voter explains why she rejected the Democrats in favour of the outsider.
Tuesday, November 8, 2016 - It's still standing -- but it's definitely a house divided. And on election day, the Pennsylvania home of Priscilla Shotter is about as starkly split as it gets.
Also, actually, he's got the best words. Because Peter Sokolowski works at Merriam-Webster -- and he'll tell us how the words Americans looked up defined the 2016 presidential race.
Monday, November 7, 2016 - Standing up to be counted. Election Day is tomorrow, but Latino voters have already turned out in unprecedented numbers in Florida -- and we speak with a woman who's been helping galvanize those voters.
Also, they're with her -- because of her. Tomorrow, the United States may elect a woman president for the first time -- and Rochester, New York is making it easier for people to pay tribute at the grave of suffragette Susan B. Anthony.
Friday, November 4, 2016 - Now that we know Canadian police monitored journalists and our spy agency's been duping judges about its own illegal snooping, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale will tell us what he's going to do about it.
Also, an Ontario pilot project plans to address poverty by simply giving money to the people who need it -- and former Senator Hugh Segal explains how he thinks that could pay off.
Thursday, November 3, 2016 - They were watching their backs but someone else was too. Now, Quebec police confirm they got warrants to monitor the phones of six journalists -- and tonight, Alain Gravel tells us what's it like to know he was being tracked.
Also, he wrote a bestseller -- but wishes he couldn't have. Mohamedou Old Slahi, author of "Guantanamo Diary," is finally allowed to return home to Mauritania -- after being held at the U.S. military prison for 14 years.
Wednesday, November 2, 2016 - It's supposed to alleviate pain. But after the BC Coroner's Office announces an inquest into the death of her son, Michelle Jansen talks to us about the agony the opioid has brought to her family.
Also, an indigenous Australian man demands the British Museum give back a tree-bark shield stolen from his ancestors by Captain Cook.
Tuesday, November 1, 2016 - Closed minds closed doors. And now, fired public servants and discharged military personnel are filing a class-action suit against Ottawa -- saying they lost their jobs because of their sexual orientation.
Also, former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is serving 28 years in prison for fraud and extortion -- but thousands of his former constituents are asking President Obama to grant him a reprieve.
Monday, October 31, 2016 - The check is on the mail. By announcing a review of newly discovered emails, FBI Director James Comey threw the U.S. election into further chaos -- and according to our guest, he may also have broken the law.
Also, La Presse journalist Patrick Lagacé is shocked to find Montreal police were granted dozens of warrants to monitor his phone -- and now he has a few questions for the judges who issued those warrants.
