SA - Striking Crown Corporation Employees Going Back To Work - Oct 7 by CJME/CKOM

Candace Savage, author of more than two dozen books, explored the history of her Saskatoon home's first occupant in her new book "Strangers in the House: A Prairie Story of Bigotry and Belonging." The home was built in the 1920s by Napoléon Sureau dit Blondin, in an era when French speakers were considered "undesirable," leading Napoléon and his family to anglicize their names and work to disguise their French-Canadian heritage. Savage scoured public records and historical accounts to assemble the book, and the launch event held last Thursday at the home in question included about a dozen of Blondin's grandchildren. Savage joins Gormley now to discuss the book and the history she uncovered in its writing.

"Armchair atheist" Richard Kelly Kemick joined the 100+ cast of "The Canadian Badlands Passion Play," a huge tourist attraction in Drumheller, Alberta.

First open session of the week

Until the federal election Oct. 21, we'll be holding weekly panel discussions with representatives for the three largest political parties joining John. They'll discuss the issues of the day, the parties' platforms, and what's likely to happen in Saskatchewan and across the nation come election day. This week our topics are the leader's debate, Andrew Scheer's dual citizenship, Justin Trudeau's use of two campaign planes, and whether the issue of abortion will be an important one at the ballot box. We'll find out what our panelists think, then give us a call at 1-877-332-8255 and join the conversation!
