10:00 – People who blame victims for the crimes committed against them are often criticized, but is that fair? What if your car is stolen with the keys inside? Between Jan. 15 and 22, 40 vehicles were stolen in Regina and half of them had the keys inside. So is it victim-blaming to encourage people to take preventative steps and keep themselves safe? Is it victim blaming to tell someone waving their money clip around in a dark alley at 3 a.m. is a bad idea? Give us a call and let us know what you think.
11:00 – Former environmental lawyer Andrew Roman has written an extensive essay dismantling Bill C-69, the 392-page omnibus bill which would re-work environmental impact assessments for major projects and replace the National Energy Board with the new “Canada Energy Regulator.” Roman says the new bill contains far too many “litigation triggers,” which would tie up major projects in the courts and prevent Canada from effectively constructing pipelines. Rick Peterson with “Suits and Boots” is encouraging Canadians to call their senators and ensure Roman has a voice at the Senate Bill C-69 Committee hearings. Roman joins John now to talk about the controversial bill and why it’s a bad move for the resource sector.
