As It Happens: Friday Edition
Part One
Norway Refugee Abuse
Norwegian politician Svein Ludvigsen was considered a champion for vulnerable youth; now he's headed to prison for sexually abusing three young asylum seekers.
Jason Kenney Pipeline Audit
Alberta's premier announces an inquiry into "foreign-funding of anti-Alberta energy campaigns" — but a Greenpeace strategist says Jason Kenney's real goal is to silence dissent.
Lost Funk Band Records
Years ago, someone called a Philadelphia university to report a whole bunch of unclaimed tapes from a legendary local label — and you'll hear some of the mysteries researchers have unlocked.
Part Two
Sudan Agreement
After weeks of unrest and violence, civilian and military leaders in Sudan reach a deal they say will ease tensions — but our guest wants the military to ease her mind about its credibility.
Arctic Fox Tracker
Her species is known for travelling great distances — but unlike her fluffy colleagues, one Arctic fox travelled 3,500 kilometres from Norway to Canada in just 76 days, with researchers tracking her all the way.
