Fallout and reaction as Andrew Scheer announces he will be stepping down as Conservative Leader

The Saskatchewan Trucking Association isn't happy about the delays the caused by the job action at Regina's Co-op Refinery Complex, saying the private companies are suffering as a result of the difficulties truckers are having getting in and out of the facility. The disputes at the gate have become so bad that the refinery has even resorted to using helicopters to move staff and supplies in and out of the complex. Susan Ewart with the trucking association says their member companies lose income as drivers sit idle at the side of the road, and notes that the delays force the haulers into a difficult position because their drivers can only work a limited number of consecutive hours but also cannot abandon a truck loaded with dangerous goods. Ewart joins Gormley now to discuss the issues.

Despite the public perception that education funding has been cut back in Canada over recent years, a new study from the right-leaning Fraser Institute shows that there has been an increase in public education spending across Canada, and it's increased by billions of dollars more than was necessary to offset enrollment growth and inflation. However, in Saskatchewan (along with BC and Newfoundland and Labrador), we saw a drop in real per-student spending between 2012/13 and 2016/17. Saskatchewan's spending on public schools increased by 12.5% over that period (the highest increase outside of Alberta and Manitoba), but Saskatchewan also saw the second-highest jump in enrollment, at 6.5%. Fraser Institute Executive VP Jason Clemens was a co-author of the study, and he joins Gormley to discuss what we can learn from the study and how Saskatchewan stacks up on public school spending.
