A cricket scandal in Canada hits home for a growing game

from As It Happens

Cricket's international governing body suspends Cricket Canada for financial and governance issues; we'll speak to the CBC journalist, and avid cricketer, whose work helped uncover alleged corruption. After a day of conflicting statements and mixed messages from all sides, the United States, Israel, Iran and Lebanon appear to be at yet another dangerous crossroads. Nil asks a former negotiator where we go from here.  Female police officers in British Columbia say they faced gender-based discrimination on the job; one tells us she won't let the recent court ruling against their class-action suit stop her from fighting. To help make the American’s imminent 250th birthday a little frothier, New Yorkers recreate a beer first brewed by a future president in 1757 — and find it slightly sweet and highly quaffable. The short documentary “Heavy Metal Parking Lot” has had a long life as a cult classic. It just turned 40 — and the filmmakers tell us what they think is the key to its enduring appeal. Once again, despite past complaints, the bus to the Polish resort of Hel — H-E-L — will be given the number 6-6-6. As It Happens, the Monday Edition. Radio that goes to the beach via the route of all evil.
