Some of the first firefighters from Canada to travel to Australia to battle the wildfires have returned home. Phane Ray and Kevin Buettner with the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency deployed to Australia at the start of December and spent 38 days fighting the fires, giving up their holidays to do so, before arriving back home last week. Ray joins Gormley to talk about the experience and the tragic results of the widespread fires.

The Co-op Refinery's use of temporary workers during its labour dispute with Unifor has left the union unhappy. Last week Unifor published a video entitled "Meet the Scabs" that included the names and photos of several of the workers who have been crossing their picket lines in Regina. Co-op expressed disappointment after the video was published, calling the move "indecent" and saying Unifor has no respect for anyone but themselves. The video may also put the temporary workers' safety at risk, according to Co-op. The union feels differently, saying temporary workers prolong labour disputes and "hurt our families." Scott Doherty with Unifor joins Gormley to debate the ethics of temporary workers during labour disputes.

Justin Trudeau said he - and all of Canada - want answers about what happened to Flight 752 after Canadian and American intelligence showed the plane was shot down by an Iranian missile shortly after taking off from Tehran on Wednesday, leaving 63 Canadians among the 176 dead. National Post columnist John Ivison noted that there seemed to be something missing from Trudeau's response - anger. Ivison says Trudeau's reaction was carefully measured, but his decision to express solidary with Iran rather than anger at the potential mass murder of Canadian citizens will leave doubts in the minds of the victims' families as to whether they will ever see any form of justice. Ivison joins Gormley to discuss the Canadian government's reaction to the disaster, and what may happen in coming days.
