8:30 – A high-risk sex offender has been released into Regina, prompting a public safety alert from the Regina Police Service, but is this alert enough?

11:30 – Canada leased more firefighting aircraft this year—but what if the real problem isn’t the number of planes, it’s how quickly they can be deployed? As another devastating wildfire season continues, we’ll ask McGill University aviation management lecturer John Gradek whether Canada’s wildfire strategy is built to respond fast enough.
