As It Happens: Tuesday Edition
Part One
Georgia elections
Today's run-off elections in Georgia will determine who controls the U-S Senate — which is why the co-founder of a group called Black Voters Matter is making sure people get to the polls.
Saskatchewan COVID jails
Inmates in Saskatchewan are refusing to eat — because they say the provincial government is refusing to protect them from COVID-19.

The State of Oregon earmarks a portion of its COVID relief funds for the Black community — and is promptly sued by non-Black business owners.
Atlantic COVID reopening
With COVID case numbers down, Nova Scotians have no reservations about going out to eat — because restaurants in that province will be reopening a week ahead of schedule.
Part Three

The only female inmate on federal death row in the U.S. is set to be executed just days before President Trump leaves office — unless her lawyers can get a short delay which could lead to a permanent one.
Canadian airline rules
Canada's major airlines warn Ottawa its COVID-19 test plan could wreak further havoc with an industry that's already losing altitude.
