The Current for May 2, 2019
Today on The Current: Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has yet to “turn off the taps” to B.C., but that fight is far from over; then, we learn the shocking lengths people went to in enforcing China’s former one-child policy; also, Olympian Caster Semenya lost her appeal against the IAAF’s testosterone rules — we explore the implications for the wider world of sport.
Today on The Current:
- Alberta Premier Jason Kenney may have backed down from "turning off the taps" to B.C., but he says his decision is only conditional upon B.C. reversing its opposition to the Trans Mountain Pipeline.
- Directors Nanfu Wang and Jialing Zhang took extraordinary risks to make the new documentary One Child Nation because they wanted to shine a light on the true impact of China's former one-child policy.
- Olympic champion Caster Semenya lost her appeal against the International Association of Athletics Federations' testosterone rules Wednesday. Many have embraced the federation's decision, saying it will level the playing field. The pushback, however, has also been swift. Critics argue the ruling is discriminatory, paternalistic and hypocritical.
