At SUMA's Regina convention this week, the organization representing Saskatchewan's urban municipalities rebranded itself as the "Municipalities of Saskatchewan." SUMA President Gordon Barnhart says the new name "encompasses all of our communities — our cities, towns, villages, resort villages, and northern municipalities — and demonstrates the true breadth and strength of Saskatchewan’s hometowns." Barnhart joins Gormley now to discuss the rebranding, and whether it may create confusion with SARM, the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities.

Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace and environmental activist, is no stranger to controversy around his work because he doesn't believe CO2 is responsible for climate change and in fact argues the gas is beneficial due to the nutrients it provides to plants (and he disagrees with his critics, who often label him a "climate change denier"). Moore is booked to deliver a keynote at the City of Regina's sustainability conference, to be held May 20-21, but after backlash on social media Mayor Michael Fougere asked organizers to reconsider his appearance. Moore joins Gormley to discuss the controversy.

The Saskatchewan government has created a new committee to evaluate and support pipeline projects in the province. The Pipeline Projects Assessment Committee will review and assess the viability of projects in Saskatchewan as well as a potential role for the government in "investing, stimulating, or generally advancing these projects." Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison sits on the newly-formed committee, and he joins John to discuss the new group and why he feels the government should be advancing pipeline construction in Saskatchewan.
The Federal Court of Appeal ruled unanimously yesterday to reject claims by Indigenous groups seeking an investigation into the publicly-owned Trans Mountain pipeline project, which has already been delayed for long stretches by court battles. The judges found Ottawa's consultation with Indigenous communities was "reasonable and meaningful," and found no basis to interfere with Ottawa's re-approval of the project. To share his thoughts on the court's decision and explain what happens next, John is joined by Dwight Newman, Professor of Law and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Rights in Constitutional and International Law at the University of Saskatchewan.

The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan says the federal carbon tax could cost producers as much as 8% of their net income this year and 12% of their net income by 2022. APAS says farmers don't set their own prices, so the tax will come directly out of their bottom line when it's applied to hauling by truck and rail, heating, grain drying, and electricity. The organization is calling on the federal agriculture minister to exempt farm expenses from the carbon tax, and vice-president Ian Boxall joins Gormley to discuss their estimates and why the carbon tax will be so painful for farmers.
Have you tried out one of the many cook at home meal delivery businesses (Hello Fresh/Good Food/Blue Ribbon, etc.)? It’s a trend that’s rapidly growing in Canada and around the world. In what's already a multi-million-dollar industry, you pick your meals, pay a fee, and the pre-portioned ingredients and instructions are delivered to you for you to cook at home. You can subscribe to have these meal boxes delivered to you at your convenience, and there’s even a local company getting involved. Some have said it’s too costly and would be better to just buy your own groceries, while others have said it’s worth the money and is saving them time while they're learning to be better cooks and eating healthier. Have you used one of these services, or would you try it? Is traditional cooking a disappearing skill? Give us a call at 1-877-332-8255 and join the conversation!

As the Co-op Refinery labour dispute enters its third month, the refinery is warning of potential fuel shortage in Saskatchewan and parts of Alberta and Premier Scott Moe has offered a special mediator to try and end the lockout on the condition that Unifor members take down their barricades surrounding the complex. While the union has called on Moe to intervene in the dispute, Moe also emphasized the illegal nature of the union's blockade and said he expects the Regina Police Service to step in if his offer is declined. Meanwhile, federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh visited the picket lines Monday, accusing FCL of bad faith by employing temporary workers and promising to introduce "anti-scab legislation." Scott Doherty, lead negotiator on the file with Unifor, joins Gormley to discuss Moe's offer and the latest on the dispute.

The USask Respiratory Research Centre is conduction research into obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the most common form of sleep-disordered breathing, which is a major concern as a quarter of adults are at risk for the condition.

Dr. Rob Skomro, professor of medicine and head of the division of Respirology, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine at the U of S, joins Gormley to discuss the research into OSA, and take your questions on improving your own sleep health.

It's the biggest weekend of the year for Football, as the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers meet in Florida for Super Bowl 54, deciding the championship for the NFL's 100th season. The Chiefs are a -120 betting favourite over the 49ers, but many fans are tuning in just for the ads or to see Jennifer Lopez and Shakira perform during the halftime show. Football analyst and Green Zone member Belton Johnson joins Gormley to share his thoughts on the big game.
Penalties increasing for distracted driving are increasing in Saskatchewan starting Saturday. Under the new rules, your first ticket will increase from $280 to $580, along with four demerit points. A second ticket within a year of the first will cost you $1,400, and any subsequent offences within a year will land you a $2,100 ticket. In each case, the driver will also lose an additional four demerit points for each offence. SGI Minister Joe Hargrave joins Gormley to discuss the changes, and why the government needs to get tough on distracted drivers.
Ezra Levant, the controversial head of the Rebel Media, says he was interrogated by federal investigators last week after the government alleged that publishing his book "The Libranos: What the media won't tell you about Justin Trudeau's corruption" constituted an illegal campaign activity and demanded he submit to an interview at Elections Canada headquarters. Levant says writing books about politicians isn't a crime, even if it's published during the election and not registered as a campaign activity, and noted that 23 other authors published books on Trudeau during the election. Levant joins Gormley to discuss his experience and why he thinks his book upset Elections Canada.

The Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation will hold a sanctions vote in mid-February to determine whether to allow job action, saying last week's conciliation talks ended in failure. STF President Patrick Maze, who endorsed the bargaining committee's recommendation for the sanctions vote, says their members have been clear that "class complexity and salary are the two most important issues," and the government has been unwilling to budge on either front. Maze joins Gormley now to discuss the upcoming vote, and what type of action may result. Then Education Minister Gordon Wyant joins Gormley to respond to the sanctions vote announcement. Wyant says the government bargaining committee felt progress was being made during their recent talks, and says the vote may be premature as they're still waiting for the report from the conciliation panel.
