As it Happens: Friday Edition

Part One

Trans-Pacific Partnership: bovine growth hormone
Under the terms of the TPP deal, Canada may no longer block U.S. milk containing bovine growth hormone -- and our guest believes that should sour us on the deal. 

Quebec police allegations
Eight Quebec police officers are put on leave after allegations of sexual assault and mistreatment against aboriginal women in Val d'Or. 

Parachute beavers
There are few sights more majestic than that of the parachuting beaver. Also few sights more rare -- but thanks to a newly unearthed film from Idaho's Department of Fish and Game, we may all behold the glory. 

Part Two

Parkinson's smell
Researchers in Scotland are working with a woman whose sense of smell is so sensitive she may be able to sniff out Parkinson's disease -- before an official diagnosis.  

Putin fight challenge, curling brooms
A distinguished governance expert wants to go a few rounds with Vladimir Putin -- not trading arguments in a debate, but trading punches in the ring.  

Part Three

Trudeaumetre

Nova Scotia sea arch
A stone formation in Nova Scotia will draw fewer tourists, now that it's vanished.
