Paralympic skier Natalie Wilkie named flag bearer

from As It Happens

Wilkie has already won a phenomenal number of medals -- but says she's still surprised and thrilled to be representing Canada at the ceremony. After two women in Uganda are arrested for kissing in public, an activist tells us the LGBTQ+ community is on high alert -- and doing everything it can to push for their release. Mark Carney is in India looking to make new trade deals -- and our guest says it's just another instance of a Canadian prime minister putting economic interests ahead of the safety of the country's Sikh community. A Halifax mother tells us about her daughter, who died in a homeless encampment -- in the hope that it will encourage people to be more understanding of others caught in the throes of addiction. A researcher takes us beat by beat through a new study on the way some caterpillars use complex rhythms to gain access to ant colonies.A young pitching prospect believes he cracked the code of athletic excellence -- by cracking, and eating, 30 raw eggs a day for a month. As It Happens, the Friday Edition. Radio that's not sure you should rely on a deus eggs machina.
