As It Happens: Tuesday Edition
Part One
Afghanistan: Marco Mendocini
As Canada commits to welcoming 5000 people who made it out of Afghanistan and onto U-S bases, we ask the federal Immigration minister what his government is offering those still at risk under the Taliban.
Hurricane Ida Damage
Reliving a nightmare. The people of Louisiana are taking stock after a devastating hurricane ripped through the coast on Sunday -- and a search-and-rescue volunteer tells us it all feels eerily familiar.
Maud Lewis Painting
Not Maud -- just disappointed. For years, a Maud Lewis painting brought a Nova Scotia woman joy -- but now that she believes it's a fake, it just makes her sad.
Jonathan Richman Impersonator
The not-so-great pretender. No one sounds like cult musician Jonathan Richman -- except, apparently, the strange scammer who got booked at a summer festival after calling the organizers up and claiming to be Jonathan Richman.
Part Two
Encore: Carreyrou Theranos
Gory details. Elizabeth Holmes' blood-testing company wound up failing every test -- and with her fraud trial set to begin, we'll revisit our feature interview with the journalist who broke the story.
Don Poynter Obit
We remember Don Poynter, whose flare for novelty items led to such innovations as the Incredible Creeping Golf Ball, and a strangely popular machine whose sole purpose was to switch itself off.
