A rare win for fans in the battle over ticket prices

from As It Happens

A frustrated ticket-buyer who testified at the Live Nation antitrust trial says she was genuinely shocked that a jury found the company does have a harmful monopoly on concert venues, but it's music to her ears. There's tension between the Vatican and the White House after Pope Leo comes out as pro-peace and anti-tyrant — and U.S. President Donald Trump says the Pope "should get his act together". The National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations says her members need more than contrition from the RCMP for surveilling Indigenous people. Cindy Woodhouse-Nepinak tells us the police, and CSIS, need to hand over all of the unredacted files.A 91-year-old peace activist walks across Ireland to protest the American military's use of an airport in Shannon — which she says is a direct violation of Irish neutrality. A church in a small British village that rivals the leaning tower of Pisa for its slanted spire also has crooked floors — and the congregation is inclined to do something about it. Millions of years ago, the state of Maryland was teeming with megalodons — and now, lawmakers there have just designated that gigantic, terrifying, fortunately extinct creature the official state shark.As It Happens, the Thursday Edition. Radio that hopes it doesn’t come back to bite them.
