As It Happens: Friday Edition

Part One

Steel C.E.O.
Ontario steel billionaire Barry Zekeleman is tired of the Trump Administration's tariffs — and thinks they'd be gone if Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister wasn't so out of her league. 

Khashoggi smears
Conservative media outlets are publicly sharing dark innuendo about Jamal Khashoggi — and a friend says it's a deliberate smear campaign. 

Moose poo crafts
Maine artist Mary Winchenbach works in an unusual medium, to critique the moral failures of Western capitalism. Just kidding: she makes art out of moose poop because she thinks it's hilarious. 

Part Two

Yemen doctor
With millions at risk of starvation in Yemen, a doctor describes the desperate plight of the families who've traveled through a brutal civil war, just so their children might survive. 

Walkerton 'Search Engine Optimization'
It's been almost 20 years since the E. Coli crisis in Walkerton, Ontario — so the town has set out to make sure you see something other than "E. Coli crisis" when you search for "Walkerton" online. 

Part Three

Queen Street voyeur
Writer Katherine Laidlaw discovers a friend has been charged with voyeurism — and sets out to investigate how, and why, someone might secretly gather images of the people who trust them most.
