8:30 – The legal fight over Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline continues after the deadline set by Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer for the pipeline’s shutdown passed Wednesday. We heard from a lot of listeners who said they’d like to see the pipeline shut down to pay Eastern Canada back for the carbon tax and anti-energy sentiment that’s hurt the West but, according to Saskatchewan Energy and Resource Minister Bronwyn Eyre, the pipeline’s shutdown would spell bad news for Saskatchewan and energy workers on both sides of the border. Eyre joins Gormley to tell us more.

10:00 – Author and investigative journalist Candis McLean’s controversial book “When Police Become Prey: The Cold, Hard Facts of Neil Stonechild’s Freezing Death,” was published in 2015, criticizing the assertion that two Saskatoon police officers were involved in Stonechild’s death. In 2016, during her book tour, McLean said she faced an online campaign against her book led by University of Regina Justice Studies Professor Michelle Stewart, which led to canceled events and – she says – defamation. McLean is now bringing a lawsuit against Prof. Stewart, and she joins Gormley to tell us more.

12:00 – Saskatchewan needs rain. Badly. APAS President Todd Lewis says things haven’t been this dry on his Regina-area farm since the ’80s and, while producers can use modern technology to help conserve moisture, there is still no replacement for a solid rainfall. Lewis says cattle farmers are among the hardest-hit, and he joins Gormley to tell us how producers are coping and how this early-season drought could affect the 2021 harvest.
