As It Happens: The Wednesday Edition
Part One
Mueller Testimony
In two Congressional hearings today, U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller stayed calm, stayed on course — and, despite pointed partisan questioning, stayed extremely staid.

Pot Shop Bear
A black bear is hell-bent on getting into the dumpster behind a Colorado cannabis dispensary — but despite its best efforts, it's left with broken dreams and an unbroken garbage bin.
Part Two
