The Evan Bray Show, Friday, January 12th, 2024

8:30 – On Thursday, the Saskatchewan Teachers Federation announced a one-day strike that will be happening for teachers in the province next week on January 16th. The strike might just be the start of further job action, as we have yet to hear what steps the STF might take afterwards. STF president, Samantha Becotte, joins Evan to talk about the announcement.

9:00 – Do you think the proposed teachers strike and potential further job action is the right decision for the Saskatchewan Teachers Federation? Call Evan and have your say on-air at 1-877-332-8255.

9:30 – Cruel sexual violence is a terrible tool of war and one that has been seen in the conflict between Israel and Hamas. In a recent piece penned by Tel Aviv University’s vice dean for research, Prof. Tamar Herzig, she laments the lack of outrage or belief in some of the atrocious images coming out of the war. Herzig joins Evan to speak about the sexual violence happening in the war between Israel and Hamas and how this violence is especially devastating in a war context.

Mary Balogh is a 35-time New York Times Bestselling Author and calls Saskatchewan home, at least part of the time, since moving to the province from Wales and marrying her husband after meeting him while on a two-year teaching contract in Kipling, Sask. She speaks to Evan about her career, her Saskatchewan connections and what it takes to write books that sell millions of copies worldwide.
