The Saskatchewan government is throwing its support behind new event centre projects in Saskatoon, Prince Albert, and North Battleford, pledging to match federal funding if Ottawa comes to the table. But not everyone agrees this is the best spending of taxpayer dollars. Scott Moe, Saskatchewan Premier, joins Evan to discuss why the province is backing these projects.

Evan connects with Lisa LaFlamme, Canadian journalist and Journalist for Human Rights ambassador, following the death of former CTV News chief anchor Lloyd Robertson.

For many people, crossing the street is something they don't think twice about. But what if the timer runs out before you're halfway across?

He says the short crossing times are causing unnecessary stress and safety risks. He joins Evan to discuss what improvements he'd like to see.

A new class action lawsuit is challenging the federal government's firearm buyback program, arguing Saskatchewan gun owners aren't being offered fair compensation for prohibited firearms. Rod Giltaca, CEO of Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights and Robert Freberg, former Saskatchewan firearms commissioner, join the show to explain why they're backing this lawsuit and what it could mean for gun owners across the province.

Saskatoon has decided to remove 25 downtown benches, citing concerns of safety and sanitation. Critics say this doesn't address the underlying problems of homelessness, and it simply pushes vulnerable people elsewhere. Shawna Nelson, Executive Director of the Downtown Saskatoon Business Improvement District, joins Evan to discuss what she'd like to see going forward.
