8:30 – Parliament resumed yesterday with Governor General Julie Payette delivering the Throne Speech, followed by a televised address to the nation from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Many in Saskatchewan were unhappy with the message from Ottawa, including Premier Scott Moe who said the speech overlooks Saskatchewan except to emphasize the phasing out of our oil and gas sector. Former Sask. Premier Brad Wall joins Gormley to discuss yesterday’s Throne Speech, and what it means for Saskatchewan.

9:00 – Bug’s Day… The Hour of Rage!
10:00 – The Buffalo Project, a group advocating for the interests of Western Canada, had a number of requests for the federal government’s Throne Speech yesterday, including fairness in national transfer payments, improvements in port access for Saskatchewan and Alberta, a private investment attraction strategy, and support for our oil and gas sector. Derek Robinson is the group’s spokesperson, and he joins Gormley to discuss the Throne Speech and whether it has the group rethinking it’s position on western separatism.
LIVE: Derek Robinson, spokesperson for the Buffalo Project.
10:30 – Trudeau followed up yesterday’s Throne Speech with a televised address to the nation, which largely just rehashed large sections of Payette’s speech. National Post columnist Matt Gurney called the speech “unnecessary” and “bizarre,” and said Trudeau might struggle to convince the TV networks to offer up their airwaves the next time he wants to address Canadians.

11:00 – Like it or not, the pandemic has most of us dressing worse than we normally do. Sales of sweats and “athleisure” clothing are way up as more people work from home, and Gucci is now even selling overalls with fake grass stains (for $1,750). Do you get annoyed when you see others dressing like slobs? Whether it’s sweats in public, hats indoors, untied shoelaces, white after Labour Day, or something completely different, give us a call at 1-877-332-8255 and let us know which fashion faux-pas gets under your skin!
