Listen to more commentary from Murray Wood:
Fri., July 4: Every Friday, Murray Wood looks back at the week’s news and decides who’s hot and who’s not. This week’s list includes the undefeated Saskatchewan Roughriders, and the people who use their phones while sitting in traffic.
Thurs., July 3: A group of protesters allegedly blocking a bridge north of Prince Albert picked up tickets from the RCMP on Canada Day. Murray Wood says the right to protest doesn’t mean you can block public infrastructure.
Wed., July 2: Is it now off limits to talk about shooting gophers in Saskatchewan? Murray Wood says a recent offer for gopher control help from the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation caused him to raise an eyebrow.
