10:00 – Ken Coates, writing for the McDonald-Laurier Institute, says Canadians have a simple decision to make in the near future: will we support the oil and gas industry, or shut it down? Coates says half-measures don’t leave anyone satisfied, and hurt the people who depend on Canadian energy for their livelihoods. Coates says our decision will become clear as Canada works towards economic recovery from COVID-19, and the half-hearted support for the industry from the Liberal Cabinet so far has not done much for the sector. Coates joins Gormley to discuss the future of Canadian energy and how it ties into the post-COVID economy.

11:00 – Landlords in Saskatchewan are calling on the provincial government to lift its ban on evictions.

Cameron Choquette, executive officer with the Saskatchewan Landlords Association, joins Gormley to tell him more. Do you think the eviction ban should be lifted?
