As It Happens: Thursday Edition
Part One

Donald Trump's former lawyer pleads guilty to lying to Congress about plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow — raising new questions about the President's ties to Russia.
Ontario climate plan
The Ontario government's climate-change plan includes money for companies who reduce emissions — but the province's environmental commissioner isn't buying it.
Dozer the steer
First we heard about Knickers the ridiculously huge Australian steer — and now it turns out we've overlooked a Canadian steer who would overlook him.
Part Two

Part Three

After a large-scale money laundering prosecution in B.C. falls apart, the province's Attorney-General demands to know how a case like that can falter before making it to trial.

Franco-Ontario MPP Amanda Simard has left Doug Ford's caucus to sit as an independent — and francophones in her riding are applauding her for sticking up for their rights.
