Fri., April 17: Every Friday, Murray Wood takes a look back at the week’s news and decides who’s hot… and who’s not. This week’s list includes spring snowstorms and the start of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Thurs., April 16: As much of Saskatchewan deals with another spring snowstorm, Murray Wood says we’re all asking the same question: This is the last of it… right?

Wed., April 15: Windfall profits on oil are prompting a break in the federal fuel tax, but Saskatchewan isn’t following suit. Murray Wood says governments have big deficits to deal with, so which approach is best?

Tues., April 14: Murray Wood says seed sales are taking off this spring. Food prices are likely convincing some to grow their own vegetables. That may or may not save money, but provides value in ways that are priceless.

Mon., April 13: Thanks to floor crossings, the Liberals only need to hold safe seats in Monday’s byelections to get to majority status. Murray Wood says he expects the Liberals to say it was the voters who put them there.
