8:30 – Saskatchewan’s backlog of surgeries has grown by between 34,000 and 35,000 since the start of the pandemic, with as many as 1,000 being added every week. According to Dr. Haissam Haddad, Professor and Provincial Head of Medicine at the U of S, throwing money at the problem and trying to recruit more staff may not be viable solutions. He says the Province needs to work to prevent a fifth wave of COVID first and foremost, and should prepare a detailed plan that would allow all our surgical facilities to operate at 100% capacity until the backlog is cleared. Haddad said Saskatchewan should also consider new solutions like portable ORs to boost capacity further. Haddad joins Gormley to share his thoughts on Saskatchewan’s massive surgical backlog.

10:00 – Who do so many Canadian leaders seem to want to fundamentally change the country? Writing in the Toronto Sun, columnist Brian Lilley says it seems leaders like Justin Trudeau, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, and newly-elected Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek seem to hate who and what Canada is as a country, as they campaign to cripple and ultimately eliminate our oil and gas industry, hurting millions of Canadians along the way. Lilley says it’s time voters wished for better leadership, and leaders who want to improve Canada without remaking it according to their whims, and he joins Gormley to tell us more.

11:00 – New data from the Canadian Cancer Statistics 2021 report show major declines in the death rate for prostate cancer, the most commonly-diagnosed form of cancer and one of the deadliest.

Cancer has touched the lives of just about every Canadian, either directly or indirectly, and there are many stories of hope and recovery along with the tragic outcomes that cancer sometimes brings.
