For the first time since July, the Riders can build off a win on Saturday.
8:30 – Saskatchewan updated its public health order Tuesday, putting a lid on indoor private gatherings province-wide. Some have been calling for stricter measures to help control the spread of COVID-19 variants, but others argue that the public health order is going too far. We’re putting the question to you in one of Gormley’s patented Reality Checks: Do the new COVID measures go too far, not far enough, or are they just right?

10:00 – Back in March of 2020, before Saskatchewan had its first COVID-19 case, a group of Saskatchewan university students was compiling pandemic data from around the country into an easy-to-use online portal at COVID19Tracker.ca. The project is the brainchild of U of S student Noah Little, and he joins Gormley to tell us more.

10:30 – Air Canada is getting a multi-billion-dollar relief package from the federal government, but the money comes with some strings attached including a 6% stake for the feds and a requirement that customers get refunds if COVID-19 canceled their flights. Aviation expert Karl Moore has said federal funding was the only option, and the deal appears to be a good one. Moore says it will be at least two years before the airline industry resembles the time before the pandemic, and he expects WestJet will be next in line for federal support. Moore joins Gormley to tell us more about what the bailout means for Air Canada.
