Tues., July 8: The head of the Saskatoon Food Bank says the minimum wage should be higher in order to keep people from needing help with basics like food. Murray Wood says Saskatchewan should heed that advice.
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.
