Green and White Prognostications!

Writer and researcher Vivian Krause has spent the last few years on a mission to expose the foreign funding behind anti-oil activism in Canada. Now, she's produced a documentary film to highlight her work. "Over a Barrel" is a short documentary exposing the "Tar Sands Campaign" funded by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and other US organizations to fight pipeline approvals in Canada and prevent our oil from reaching overseas buyers. The film focuses on the negative consequences the campaign has wrought on the Alberta economy, First Nations, and Canada's national unity. Krause joins Gormley now to discuss the film and her work.

About 4,500 Unifor-represented employees at Saskatchewan's Crown corporations are set to begin a strike this morning at 7 a.m. after negotiations hit a wall. The workers at SaskTel, SaskPower, SaskEnergy, SecurTek, DirectWest, SaskWater and the Water Security Agency have been on a "work to rule" protest since Sept. 30 which saw them refusing overtime and ignoring performance targets. Unifor National President Jerry Dias says the members are looking for a 2% per-year increase and called out Premier Scott Moe for giving MLAs larger pay increases than Crown workers. Dias joins Gormley now to discuss the strike and why negotiations have stalled.
