8:30 – Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Alberta’s chief medical officer of health, was in court this week giving evidence and facing cross-examination in a civil trial challenging the Alberta Government’s public health orders. Hinshaw said the public health measures were unprecedented, but so was the pandemic, and emphasized that her recommendations were approved by elected officials before they were enacted. Melanie Risdon has been following the case for the Western Standard, and she joins Gormley to tell us about the trial.

9:00 – Bugs Day…the hour of rage!

10:00 – Are solar and wind energy going to power the future, or are these much-touted renewable energy sources inadequate when it comes to meeting society’s needs? In a recent video for PragerU, Mark Mills, a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute and author of ‘The Cloud Revolution,’ argues the energy dream differs quite a bit from reality. Mills, an expert on energy and technology, says mining would need to increase by more than 1,000% in order to provide enough raw materials needed for batteries and green power generation as a replacement for oil, gas, and coal. According to Mills, green tech is significantly more material-intensive than traditional energy sources, and he joins Gormley to tell us about the issue.
