8:30 – Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are planning to spend a lot more time in Canada after receiving permission from the Queen to step back as senior members of the Royal Family, but not all Canadians are happy with the move. According to new data from the Angus Reid Institute, half of Canadians simply don’t care if Harry and Meghan move here, and three quarters don’t want Canadian taxpayers to pay a dime for their security or other associated costs. Are we souring on the monarchy? Are Harry and Meghan taking advantage of us? Gormley shares his thoughts, and we also want to hear from you so call us at 1-877-332-8255 and tell us how you feel about the Royals potential move to Canada.

9:00 – The Hour of the Big Stories… Open Session

10:00 – With the rules laid out, the race to become the next leader of the Conservative Party of Canada is officially on. Candidates will need to raise $300,000 and 3,000 signatures from party members in order to make their candidacy official. Conservative insider Alise Mills says she likes the strict entry requirements in order to keep the race limited to serious candidates only. She says the next leader will define the CPC’s brand, and it’s important for the party to be very careful about who they allow to enter the race. Mills says now is the time for fundamental change within the party, but none of the declared candidates seem to be offering that. She says it will be very interesting to see what Rona Ambrose does, because the former interim leader is unlikely to enter the race unless she believes the party needs to be saved. Mills joins Gormley to discuss the race and why the next leader has to be truly inspiring and not just an alternative to Trudeau.

11:30 – In the UK, if your vehicle is stolen with the keys inside you’re unlikely to receive any insurance coverage due to companies requiring drivers take reasonable measures to protect their vehicles. In Quebec, you could face a fine of $108 if you leave your vehicle unlocked in a public space or a publicly-accessible lot. In Saskatchewan, however, there are no such penalties and drivers are only required to pay their deductible even if their vehicle is stolen with the keys left sitting in the ignition. It’s a big problem, with 238 vehicles stolen with the keys left inside in Saskatoon alone last year, but is it unfair to ask drivers to forgo warming up their cars in Saskatchewan’s -40 temperatures? Should drivers be penalized if their vehicle is stolen with the keys inside? Give us a call at 1-877-332-8255 and tell us what you think!
