As It Happens: Wednesday Edition

Part One

Edmonton CFL name
Edmonton's football team ditches a name long considered offensive and long defended by the team itself. We have some questions about that, so we put them to the chair of the team's board.

Restaurant worries
A Nova Scotia restaurant owner says his business and his industry are in more trouble than most Canadians know. So much so, they're facing collapse, if help doesn't come soon.

Comet approach
We reach the very excited scientist who's been tracking a 5-kilometre-wide ball of ice and rock hurtling its way across space. It's as close to the Earth as it's going to get, and she couldn't be happier.

Part Two

Brexit: Russian report
A report by Britain's intelligence and security committee finds no evidence of Russian interference during Brexit. But the former chair of that committee tells us you can't find what you're not looking for.

Hornblower GM 
A Canadian tour operator in Niagara has been running nearly empty tours of the falls. But he says the looser rules across the border are making a boatload of difference for his American counterparts.
