As It Happens: Friday Edition
PART 1
OTTAWA PROTESTS: COUNCILLOR
Locking horns. More motorists are promising to descend on Ottawa this weekend. But local residents have had enough of the trucker convoy -- and the honking -- and a city councillor says it's time for police to step in.
DISASTER CLOCK DONATED
Frozen in time. The family of a Welsh man who responded to a catastrophe that killed more than a hundred children in the 1960s is donating the clock he recovered from their demolished school -- marking the exact moment of the Aberfan disaster.
PRO PILLOW FIGHTING
Down for the count. A Florida entrepreneur hopes to redefine what a featherweight fight means -- with a push to make pillow fighting a pro sport.
PART 2
SK BLIZZARD FARMER
A flurry of activity. A woman stuck in a Saskatchewan blizzard could hardly believe her eyes when an 80-year-old retiree emerged from the storm to rescue her.
BURROWING OWL HOMES
Burrowing owl habitats are under threat, so our guest is trying to entice the birds into new digs -- which is labour-intensive, but makes for a moving display.
PART 3
Former lieutenant-general and senator Romeo Dallaire led pivotal peacekeeping missions abroad -- and a critical conversation about veterans' mental health at home. We revisit his 2016 interview with Carol about his struggle with PTSD after the Rwandan genocide, and about his groundbreaking book, "Waiting For First Light."
