As It Happens: Wednesday Edition
Part One
Stranded Mount Logan climber
Natalia Martinez has been trapped on Yukon's Mount Logan since Monday's earthquake — and while her partner says rescue plans are well under way, she'll face more severe weather before she's brought to safety.

American activist Desiree Fairooz is convicted for her behaviour at the confirmation of U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions back in January — which she disrupted by snickering.
Montreal flood
After a month of record rainfall in Quebec, there's flooding across the province — some of it serious enough that people are being asked to leave their homes tout de suite.
