Mon., Oct. 5: Murray Wood is puzzled and annoyed by all of the “collector” licence plates on vehicles that will never be defined by adjectives like “cool” or “classic.”  How, he wonders, is this happening?

Fri., Oct. 2: Every Friday, Murray Wood takes a look back at the week’s news and decides who’s hot… and who’s not. This week’s list includes delays from police forces around issuing information to the public.

Thurs., Oct. 1: U.S. President Donald Trump called Canada “one of the worst” this week, saying that soon we will come to him to beg for a trade deal. Murray Wood thinks the slogan should appear on hats and T-shirts.

Wed., Sept. 30: Murray Wood says we’ve flirted with nuclear power in Saskatchewan, but always flinched. Wood argues it’s the most reliable and logical green form of energy we could utilize.

Tues., Sept. 29: Even if it seems – as the rejoinder in the Beatles’ song observed – ‘it couldn’t get much worse,’ Murray Wood suggests we are at a peak moment in the history of humanity.
