11:00 – School is back in session, and that’s got us wondering: do your kids walk to school, do they take the bus, or do you drive them every day?

Call in and have your say.

12:00 – A grassroots advocacy organization of businesspeople and resource industry workers called “Suits & Boots” is opposing Bill C-69, saying it will discourage investment and hurt Canada’s resource sector.
