But while Regina Exhibition Association CEO Tim Reid said vaccine passports are not being considered at Mosaic Stadium, a recent poll showed 61% of people in Saskatchewan think proof of a vaccine should be required to attend stadium events. Whenever public opinion is divided, we put the question to you during one of Gormley’s patented Reality Checks! Should you need a vaccine to get into Mosaic Stadium?

10:00 – Abigail Shrier, a journalist and frequent Wall Street Journal contributor, has been at the centre of controversy since the publication of her most recent book ‘Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters’ in 2020. The book was briefly pulled from Target shelves, Amazon suspended a promotional campaign, and a petition was circulated to pull the book from Halifax Public Library, though the library refused. The book’s paperback edition launches today, and Shrier joins Gormley to tell us more about the book and the controversy around it.

11:00 – The discovery of 751 unmarked graves at the site of a former residential school in Saskatchewan came as a shock to many last week, but Dr. Scott Hamilton was surprised it didn’t happen sooner. Hamilton authored a 2015 report for the TRC entitled “Where are the Children buried?” In his report, Hamilton used existing records and research combined with new technologies to try to determine the locations of residential school cemeteries. Hamilton joins Gormley to discuss why the work did not proceed immediately after the TRC, and how many other grave sites might remain undiscovered in Canada.
