Listen to more commentary from Murray Wood:
Tues., Aug. 26: Murray Wood says it’s surprising that during a SaskTel outage last week, it was very difficult to get the Saskatchewan telecom company to explain exactly what was happening to phones around the province.
Mon., Aug. 25: Murray Wood says hunting is a lot like being a sports fan, because you’ll never be 100 per cent successful. Wood compares the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ recent loss to Calgary with a missed shot at a goose.
Fri., Aug. 22: In this Friday “Who’s Hot and Who’s Not,” Murray Wood looks at the Riders’ shot at payback in Calgary, Trudeau’s red-carpet optics with Putin, and storm clouds that were both destructive and beautiful.
Thurs., Aug. 21: An Ontario man was charged for allegedly assaulting an intruder in his home, sparking wide reaction this week. Murray Wood says self-defence should be a legitimate legal argument, within reason.
Wed., Aug. 20: How young is too young to bring children to a stadium? After taking his six-year-old grandson to watch the Riders, Murray Wood is still recovering from trying to explain the rules alongside a competing sound system.
Tues. Aug. 19: Many wanted suspects share a common trait: face or neck tattoos. These are often not benign but symbols like teardrops or words such as “insane.” As Murray Wood explains, such markings make fugitives far easier to spot, yet they also serve as permanent labels that strip away any chance of blending into society or finding legitimate work.
