8:30 – Former Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall joins the show to share his thoughts on Andrew Scheer announcing his resignation as CPC leader. The news broke Thursday morning, with Scheer saying he’ll step down as soon as a new leader is chosen.

11:00 – Tim Stone, host of the Tim Stone Show on our sister station C95, doesn’t drink. He says it can become difficult over the holidays, when there’s an unwritten expectation that everyone will tie one on at Christmas parties and an implication that you’re a Scrooge if you don’t partake. He says if you come across someone who says ‘no thanks’ when you offer them a drink, it’s important to leave it at that and not press them for an explanation or peer pressure them to drink when they don’t want to. Stone’s video on the subject has gone viral on Facebook, amassing more than 110,000 views, and he joins Gormley now to talk about why he’s sharing that message and how you can make the holidays a bit easier for those who leave the rum out of their eggnog.
