Because News

News quiz: November 17, 2016

Big Brother Canada's Arisa Cox, comedian Kris Siddiqi and broadcaster Tom Howell take on this week's news quiz.

Face it: it's been a bum news week. Because News takes a brighter look at the headlines with a desperately-needed round we call Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows. We quiz the panel about Yukon libraries, Ontario lunches and the Prime Minister's new advisor from Alberta.

It's that magical time when the Oxford English Dictionary announces its word of the year. Do you know the meaning of the short-listed words like 'woke' and 'hygge'?

Gavin challenges our panellists to a new game we call Spelling Bee Pie Face. The rules are simple: spell the word wrong, get a pie to the face.

This week's panel:

Catch our show on CBC Radio One Saturday at 11 a.m. and Monday at 11:30 a.m. 

Because News is written and produced by Elizabeth Bowie, David Carroll, Gavin Crawford and Phil Leung, with help this week from Ashley Botting and James Hartnett.
