As It Happens: Tuesday Edition

Part One

Site C: Chief
Jody Wilson-Raybould once protested alongside the Chief of the West Moberly First Nation against the Site C dam — but now that she's a federal minister, she's lost her voice. 

Debate: fact checker
With the help of the Toronto Star's Daniel Dale, we'll take a closer look at who took a stand, and who took deceit, in last night's tête-à-tête between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. 

Roller coaster kidney stones
Down and up and down and out. If you're currently suffering from kidney stones, you'll be relieved to hear that a doctor has made an amazing discovery: you can get rid of them by riding a roller coaster. 

Part Two

Nutrition North: Mayor
The mayor of Iqaluit says the federal government's Nutrition North program should focus on basic groceries — instead of products like tofu burgers and dragon fruit. 

Microfibres study
