10:00 – The extradition case against Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou passed a crucial milestone Wednesday as a judge ruled that taken as a whole, Meng’s alleged crimes would also constitute a crime in Canada. That test, called “double criminality” is necessary before an alleged criminal can be sent to face justice on foreign soil. To explain the decision and what it means for the case, John is joined by extradition expert and lawyer Dr. Gary Botting.

10:30 – Saskatchewan closed 12 rural ERs to prepare for a possible surge in COVID cases, but announced they will be reopening after hearing protests from the communities around Arcola, Broadview, Preeceville, Lanigan, Radville, Herbert, and Kerrobert, Wolseley, Davidson, Biggar, Leader, and Oxbow. The Province says the Arcola Health Centre will re-open in mid-June with the other facilities to follow, but Rebecca Scott, a nurse who lives near Oxbow, says the timeline is still unacceptable as it puts farmers like her husband at much greater risk if an accident should occur. Scott started a Facebook group for rural Saskatchewanians to share their concerns, and more than 2,100 people have already joined.

11:00 – Saskatoon is getting a Hooters restaurant, but is there still a place for the so-called “breastaurant” in 2020?

Hooters says it empowers its “Hooters Girls” and gives back to every community it operates in, but critics have long said the business is exploitative and criticized their appearance-based hiring policies.
