Saskatoon woman Susan Sawchyn had laser eye surgery in 1999, and it's a decision she's regretted ever since. After two years with no complications she started having focusing issues which progressed into eye pain so severe she could no longer read or look at a screen. After struggling for years trying to identify the issue she was diagnosed with corneal neuralgia - a nerve issue inside the eye - in 2013. She feels the eye surgery industry is hiding the potential for problems, as they never acknowledged her issues. She's going public now to raise awareness about the potential complications, and she joins John to discuss her case.

The English designer of Saskatchewan's official flag only lived in the province for three years, but he certainly made a lasting impact. Anthony Drake, a teacher originally from East Yorkshire, came to Canada with his wife in 1966 and decided to submit a design for the official flag after seeing a contest in the paper offering a $1,000 prize. Drake's design divided the flag in half vertically and used green to represent the northern forests while yellow represents the southern prairies. Hodgeville resident Gail Hapanowicz brought Drake to the province in 2015 to see his flag flying, and this year she's bringing Drake back for a tour to mark the 50th anniversary of Saskatchewan's flag. Drake joins John now to talk about his unique story and the meaning behind Saskatchewan's flag.

A new study from the Fraser Institute found declining investment in the majority of Canadian industries between 2014 and 2017, particularly in the mining industry, raising questions about Canada's ability to compete with the US and other developed nations. Steven Globerman, who co-authored the study, concluded that Canada needs tax and regulatory reforms to boost investment and entrepreneurship. Globerman joins John now to discuss the report and how to keep Canada competitive.
