8:30 – There are now dueling climate plans in Canada’s federal government, as Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer tabled his own environmental plan in Ottawa this week, offering a counterpoint to Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax and other unpopular climate initiatives. National Post Columnist John Ivison says Scheer’s plan is a bit toothless, as he expresses strong concern for the environment without investment in solutions. But will Scheer’s climate plan be enough to win over Canadian voters in the fall election? Ivison joins Gormley now to talk about the plan and how it might affect Scheer’s popularity.

11:00 – June is ALS month, and we wanted to check in with Bernadette Mysko, chair of the ALS Society of Saskatchewan. While there is still no cure for ALS, Mysko says there’s been more research progress into the disease in the past five years than there was in the previous 30, partially due to researchers using AI to analyze huge amounts of patient data. Mysko, who lost her husband to ALS, says education among healthcare professionals has also improved as awareness of ALS increased. She joins John now to talk about the fatal, neurodegenerative disease and Sunday’s “Walk to End ALS” in Saskatoon.
