Anne Murray remembers Canadian country legend Tommy Hunter

from As It Happens

Alberta says it has a private backer for 10 percent of its proposed pipeline. We'll ask federal energy minister Tim Hodgson if that means taxpayers are on the hook for the rest. The legendary Anne Murray pays tribute to a man who helped launch her career, and many others', on his long-running TV show. Remembering the late great Tommy Hunter. The small Danish town of Rebild has hosted a Fourth of July party for decades — but this year, there are extra fireworks: American officials have been left off the invite list. A German zoologist tells us about testing how fast spiders could sprint by prodding them with a paint brush — and inadvertently setting a new arachnid land speed record. For years, a collection of wool and sheep skin samples belonging to a pioneering Australian scientist has been tucked away in the UK. We hear from an Aussie farmer who helped bring the archive home. Two avid outdoorsmen from the UK set a new record for putting up a tent by relying heavily on each other, and pitching at a fever pitch.  As It Happens, the Thursday Edition. Radio that assumes they have a co-depen-tent relationship.
