As It Happens: Monday Edition
Part One
Ethics probe: Mulcair
The PM says he's happy to chat with the Ethics Commissioner about his chopper trip to the Aga Khan's private island — but NDP leader Tom Mulcair says Mr. Trudeau should be grounded for breaking the law.
Congress boycott
More and more Democrats announce they'll be boycotting Donald Trump's inauguration on Friday — and tonight, Congressman Barbara Lee explains why she won't be there.
Animal farts
Soon, we'll all know for sure whether it's fair to blame various creatures for various odours — because scientists are creating a comprehensive database of which animals pass gas and which do not.
Part Two
Freedom bus
President Obama announces an official commemoration of the firebombing of a bus full of "Freedom Riders" in Alabama in 1961 — and we'll speak with a survivor of that attack.
