10:00 – Trudeau and the Liberal Party made hundreds of promises before and during the 2015 federal election. With the next election just around the corner, a new 237-page book is examining Trudeau’s promises and tallying up which ones were kept and which ones were broken. “Assessing Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Government” was released Monday, and includes the work of over two dozen academics who examined 353 promises. They found roughly 50 per cent were kept, about 40 per cent were partially kept, and roughly 10 per cent were broken. Franois Petry, political science prof. and co-editor of the book, joins John now to discuss Trudeau’s track record.

12:00 – The Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan is commemorating the 80th anniversary of the start of WWII by releasing digitized copies of Saskatchewan’s community newspapers from 1939-1945. This will let researchers find more information on their family histories and learn what happened in their communities during the war. This is just the first stage of the project, as the plan includes digitizing more than 560,000 pages from more than 160 publications. Curt Campbell, manager of records processing and preservation services with the Provincial Archives, has spearheaded the project, and he joins John now.
