Saskatchewan's distracted driving fines are set to make a big jump. Starting Feb. 1, 2020, the fine will increase from $280 to $580 for a first offense, plus four demerits. A second offence within a year will result in a $1,400 ticket and four demerits, plus a seven-day vehicle seizure. A third offense will result in a $2,100 ticket, four demerits, and another seven-day seizure. SGI Minister Joe Hargrave says 22 people lost their lives on Saskatchewan roadways in 2018 due to distraction or inattention, and "enough is enough." Hargrave joins Gormley now to discuss the changes.

The political situation in Hong Kong seems to worsen every day. Most recently, over 1000 protesters were arrested at Polytechnic University.

We have enough resolution and power to end the unrest." Dr. Martin Gaal is a political studies professor at the University of Saskatchewan who specializes in international politics. He joins Brent for a breakdown on what caused the unrest, where it could end up, and if there's any way for a peaceful resolution to happen.
