Listen to more commentary from Murray Wood:
Wed., May 14: The City of Regina is paying nearly $7 million to get Costco to build its second location inside city limits, instead of at the Global Transportation Hub. Murray Wood wants to know when taxpayers at various levels will stop paying for the hub.
Tues., May 13: Talk of western separation is nothing new, Murray Wood says, but as long as we’re dividing up the country, why don’t we split some cities in half as well? Murray has some tongue-in-cheek suggestions.
Mon., May 12: Murray Wood says a lot of Canadians didn’t seem to warm up to Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party, and chose Liberal Mark Carney instead. Wood says the Conservatives need to hope that Carney stumbles or start appealing to voters outside of their own base if they want to form government any time soon.
Fri., May 9: Every Friday, Murray Wood takes a look at the week’s news and decides who’s hot and who’s not. This week’s list includes the first American pope, and the people who are ignoring measles vaccinations as the number of cases rises in Saskatchewan.
Thurs., May 8: The affordability crisis is driving more people to use food banks in Saskatchewan, and Murray Wood says it’s pretty simple to connect the rising number of people using the food bank to Saskatchewan’s low minimum wage.
