8:30 – As the Co-op Refinery labour dispute enters its third month, the refinery is warning of potential fuel shortage in Saskatchewan and parts of Alberta and Premier Scott Moe has offered a special mediator to try and end the lockout on the condition that Unifor members take down their barricades surrounding the complex. While the union has called on Moe to intervene in the dispute, Moe also emphasized the illegal nature of the union’s blockade and said he expects the Regina Police Service to step in if his offer is declined. Meanwhile, federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh visited the picket lines Monday, accusing FCL of bad faith by employing temporary workers and promising to introduce “anti-scab legislation.” Scott Doherty, lead negotiator on the file with Unifor, joins Gormley to discuss Moe’s offer and the latest on the dispute.

11:00 – Have you tried out one of the many cook at home meal delivery businesses (Hello Fresh/Good Food/Blue Ribbon, etc.)? It’s a trend that’s rapidly growing in Canada and around the world. In what’s already a multi-million-dollar industry, you pick your meals, pay a fee, and the pre-portioned ingredients and instructions are delivered to you for you to cook at home. You can subscribe to have these meal boxes delivered to you at your convenience, and there’s even a local company getting involved. Some have said it’s too costly and would be better to just buy your own groceries, while others have said it’s worth the money and is saving them time while they’re learning to be better cooks and eating healthier. Have you used one of these services, or would you try it? Is traditional cooking a disappearing skill? Give us a call at 1-877-332-8255 and join the conversation!
