Tonight:

His Honour, dishonoured. Toronto's city councillors grill, heckle, and confront mayor Rob Ford about his illegal drug use -- trying to get him to step aside.

Unredacted, take two. A judge releases more police documents that suggest the city's chief magistrate regularly behaves in a decidedly un-magisterial way.

Improper execution? A legal challenge may re-open the 1944 case of a 14-year-old boy put to death for murder in South Carolina.

More heart drugs, statin! New guidelines for doctors are likely to increase the prescription of controversial cholesterol-lowering drugs like Lipitor.

Making verse from adverse conditions. Métis poet Katherena Vermette draws from her hard upbringing in Winnipeg's North End to earn this year's Governor-General's Award for Poetry.

And perhaps it was depressed in the confines of its Roomba. A man claims that his cleaning robot committed suicide, after it rolled itself onto a hot stove element.

As It Happens, the Wednesday edition. Radio with stories that often defy logic boards.
