Listen to more commentary from Murray Wood:
Tues., Aug. 26: Murray Wood says it’s surprising that during a SaskTel outage last week, it was very difficult to get the Saskatchewan telecom company to explain exactly what was happening to phones around the province.
Mon., Aug. 25: Murray Wood says hunting is a lot like being a sports fan, because you’ll never be 100 per cent successful. Wood compares the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ recent loss to Calgary with a missed shot at a goose.
Fri., Aug. 22: In this Friday “Who’s Hot and Who’s Not,” Murray Wood looks at the Riders’ shot at payback in Calgary, Trudeau’s red-carpet optics with Putin, and storm clouds that were both destructive and beautiful.
Thurs., Aug. 21: An Ontario man was charged for allegedly assaulting an intruder in his home, sparking wide reaction this week. Murray Wood says self-defence should be a legitimate legal argument, within reason.
Wed., Aug. 20: How young is too young to bring children to a stadium? After taking his six-year-old grandson to watch the Riders, Murray Wood is still recovering from trying to explain the rules alongside a competing sound system.
Tues. Aug. 19: Many wanted suspects share a common trait: face or neck tattoos.
