Police continue to hunt for Michael Gordon Jackson, a Carievale man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant after taking off with his daughter in violation of court orders requiring him to return seven-year-old Sarah to her mother, Mariecar Jackson. Kurt Jedel, of Carievale, Saskatchewan, joins Gormley to tell us more about Michael, his former friend. Jedel says Jackson was obsessed with taking his daughter and going on the run, and often told Jedel about his elaborate plans. Despite Michael's claim that he abducted the girl to prevent her from receiving the vaccine, Jedel says he was planning to do this long before any controversy over vaccination, and he joins Gormley to tell us more.

The Hour of RAGE

This morning our plan was to speak with Dr. Tara Moriarty, the researcher who claimed the number of COVID deaths in Saskatchewan could be seven times higher than the provincial total of 977. Premier Moe dismissed the claim as misinformation, and Moriarty unceremoniously canceled our scheduled interview. Kevin Weedmark with the World-Spectator did speak with Moriarty in a lengthy interview, and he says her research was misrepresented in the media, but she proceeded to double down on the claims. Weedmark joins Gormley to help explain the situation.

VIDO CEO Dr. Volker Gerdts joins Gormley for an update on their work to develop a new COVID vaccine, including an upcoming human trial in Uganda and their newly-approved booster study.

The Fraser Institute’s Kenneth Green joins John to discuss a new Fraser Institute report — 'Is Climate Catastrophe Really 10 Years Away?' The report claims the increasingly-accepted idea that the world is now a decade away from catastrophic climate change is overstated because it's largely based on unreliable models, and Green joins John to break down his report.

Open Session

Premier Moe joins John to discuss a report claiming COVID deaths could be much higher than reported, the rollout of the Pfizer COVID-19 pill in Saskatchewan which begins today, and his thoughts on the protest truck convoy currently en route to Ottawa.
