8:30 – Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion ruled Thursday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not breach the Conflict of Interest Act when he granted a $43.5-million federal contract to his friends at WE Charity, but former Finance Minister Bill Morneau placed himself in conflict and broke ethics laws three times. Both Trudeau and Morneau have close personal ties to the charity, and did not recuse themselves from the 2020 cabinet decision to award the contract. National Post Columnist John Ivison says Dion got it right in his ruling, and he joins Gormley to discuss the case.

12:00 – Saskatchewan filmmaker Scott Woroniuk is documenting some of the province’s history in an online video series called ‘Abandoned Saskatchewan.’ The series combines a healthy dose of historical information with eye-popping drone videography, and the videos are making a splash. So far he’s featured the Old Nipawin Bridge, twin grain elevators near Wakaw, the McCloy Creek Trestle, and an abandoned overpass project near Prince Albert. Woroniuk joins Gormley to tell us more about the project, and why there seems to be a lot of public interest in learning about old abandoned structures.
