As It Happens: Thursday Edition

Part One

Moose jaw reporter resigns
 In his victory speech after the federal election, a Saskatchewan Conservative MP said a lot of words -- but one in particular has provoked confusion and outrage, and led one reporter to quit her job. 

Refugees: Tennessee GOP chairman
Tennessee Republican Leader Greg Casada doesn't just want to discourage Syrian refugees from resettling in his state -- he wants the National Guard deployed to keep them out. 

Refugees: Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi
Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi doesn't just believe Syrian refugees should come to Canada -- he believes some people are being outright racist in their anti-refugee arguments.  

Part Two

Paris: EU info sharing
A former Italian foreign minister says EU states are sharing little to no intelligence information -- and that's part of the reason the plotter behind last week's attacks was able to travel to Paris undetected. 

Ketchup leather 
The light bulb; the telephone; the adult onesie. All hugely important -- but one invention that eclipses them all: a dehydrated condiment its inventor calls "Ketchup Leather". 

Part Three
