Quebec mulls energy drink ban for kids after teen’s death

from As It Happens

Quebec tables a bill that would ban the sale of energy drinks to anyone under the age of 16 — something Zachary Miron's parents and their community have been pushing for since the teenager's death. Photographer Angelina Katsanis was covering protests at an ICE detention centre in New Jersey when she was injured, and lost her camera bag. And now a police officer has been charged with theft. A British man who climbed Everest describes the shock and joy of learning that one of their guides was still alive — six harrowing days after he disappeared. Edith Wharton’s novels famously gave readers a peek behind the curtain of New York’s high society. And now, a previously unpublished short story — set in a French chateau at the end of the First World War — again takes aim at the elite. Yesterday, hundreds of people gathered to protest a proposal to build an AI data centre in Hamilton, Ontario. One of those residents tells us about the community's first small victory — and what they plan to do next. If it feels like your seasonal allergies are getting worse, you’re not alone. A new study suggests that bright lights in the big city could be to blame. Scientists tasked bees with solving a problem meant to test their basic intelligence: pushing a tiny ball into a corner to reach a sweet treat. And they aced it. As It Happens, the Friday Edition, radio that’ll bee-lieve it when we see it.
