8:30 – Saskatchewan saw 67 new COVID-19 cases yesterday, bringing our active case count up to 666, the highest it’s been since the start of the pandemic. Health Minister Jim Reiter joined Dr. Saqib Shahab yesterday as they announced new restrictions for Saskatoon nightclubs, which have been linked to major outbreaks. Starting Friday, Saskatoon’s clubs must close at 11:00 p.m. and cannot serve alcohol after 10:00 p.m., along with a number of additional measures. Reiter joins Gormley to tell us about the changes to our public health order, and whether nightclubs and their patrons are being responsible about the virus.

9:00 – Bug’s Day… The Hour of Rage!
10:00 – The new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada has been busy since taking over from Andrew Scheer. Erin O’Toole joins Gormley to discuss his ongoing efforts to get answers on the WE Charity scandal, his criticisms of the Trudeau Government’s COVID-19 response, and a whole lot more.

11:00 – There are more than 300 electric vehicles now registered in Saskatchewan, but would you ever seriously consider one? While you’ll save on gas and enjoy some government rebates, many people – including Gormley – think it’s unrealistic due to the high entry price, the availability of charging stations, and Saskatchewan’s geography and climate. Jason Cruickshank, president of SaskEV, has been working to create more incentives for electric vehicles in Saskatchewan, and he joins Gormley to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of diching gasoline. Would you consider an electric vehicle next time you’re shopping for a new ride? Give John a call at 1-877-332-8255 and let us know whether you think an EV might be the right fit for you.

12:00 – Most of us have an old laptop or hard drive sitting around that still contains a lot of personal or business data, even though we’re no longer using it. Data storage hardware can be a magnet for fraud and identity theft, so the Saskatoon Police are holding an event this afternoon to help the public safely destroy their old hardware through a partnership with the Electronics Recycling Association. S.Sgt. Tony Nadon joins Gormley to tell us more about the hard drive shredding event and why we should all take steps to make sure our old hardware can’t be used by criminals.
