As It Happens: The Wednesday Edition
Part One
Erin O'Toole Vote
Conservative MPs have ousted Erin O'Toole as their leader. But the party's former deputy leader, Lisa Raitt, insists she's confident the party's future is looking bright
Carol and Chris Quiz
Be kind, don't rewind -- is what Carol's likely hoping. But we're not going to spare her another instalment of our segment, "Where Do You Get Off, Off?" -- in which we test her knowledge of 16 years of her own interviews.
Part Two
Alberta Blockade Day 5
Siege mentality. The mayor of an Alberta border town says he believes in the right to protest, but this week's blockade over vaccine mandates has left his city feeling held hostage.
Encore: Groundhog Day Actor

Part Three
