As It Happens: Wednesday Edition
Part One
Bombardier: VP and Maxime Bernier
When the U.S. imposes enormous new tariffs on Bombardier, the company blames a rival for manipulating the system — and Maxime Bernier blames the Liberal government.
Video game voice actor
After a long strike, video game voice actors reach a deal with a group of big video game companies — and our guest says she and her colleagues have won a hard-fought victory against the final boss.
Part Two
Take a knee: WNBA
This week, male athletes have dominated headlines for kneeling during the U.S. anthem — but our guest reminds us of the pivotal role women in the WNBA played in building the movement.
Pylon lung
Instead of being crabby about discovering a plaything 40 years after he lost it, Paul Baxter is downright jovial -- because a doctor found a tiny toy traffic cone in his lung, and he's been breathing easier ever since.
Part Three

Donald Prince doesn't usually chase garbage trucks. But on Tuesday, in Yellowknife, he jumped in his own truck and pursued one like it was a matter of life and death. Which it may well have been — because a man was trapped in the back.
Pharma disclosures
Ontario intends to publicize the payments doctors get from pharmaceutical companies — and the doctor we speak with agrees sunlight is the best disinfectant.
