8:30 – A number of Canada’s federal pandemic benefits ended over the weekend, replaced with a number of new, less-sweeping aid programs for those still struggling. The restaurant industry has been hit hard by the pandemic, but will the end of the CRB help end the labour shortage? Mark von Schellwitz joins Gormley to discuss the changes in pandemic benefits which he says leaves some members falling through the cracks, as well as vaccine passports and the current state of Saskatchewan’s restaurant industry.

10:00 – Last Tuesday, Gormley interviewed author and journalist Elaine Dewar, who argues in her recent book ‘On the Origin of the Deadliest Pandemic in 100 Years’ that COVID likely originated in a mine in Yunnan via a lab in Wuhan, China. Virologist Angela Rasmussen, a research scientist with VIDO, says a zootonic origin of COVID-10 is still much more likely, and she joins Gormley to explain why.
