As It Happens: Friday Edition

Part One

NAFTA: latest
On a tumultuous day of NAFTA talks, Canada and the U.S. fail to reach an agreement — but with more negotiations to come, our guest says the sticking points can be unstuck. 

Trans Mountain: Alberta Premier Notley
After the Trans Mountain pipeline is put on hold, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says her province will pull out of the national climate plan. 

Henry Moore drawings
A team of experts makes it official: yes, that is an authentic sketch by the great British artist — and yes, it can go on display at a German museum, because it wasn't looted by Nazis. 

Part Two

Swissair anniversary: fisherman
Twenty years ago this week, Swissair Flight 111 crashed near Peggys Cove, Nova Scotia — and tonight, fisherman Bob Conrad remembers that night, when he desperately searched the waves for survivors. 

Affirmative action lawsuit
The U.S. Justice Department throws its support behind a group suing Harvard on behalf of Asian-American students — but our guest says it's got nothing to do with real concerns about discrimination.
