The Saskatchewan Roughriders' response to the crash that killed Jayden Dalke and Bhishma Rajyaguru has sparked a broader conversation about crisis communications. When tragedy strikes and facts are still emerging, how do organizations decide what to say, when to say it, and how much information to share? To delve into this, Evan is joined by Carey Hyndman, owner of Your Voice Consulting.

We've heard of satellites in orbit, but what about a giant space mirror meant to create "sunlight on demand?" While this might sound interesting, astronomers are raising serious concerns about what it could mean for the night sky and scientific research. Samantha Lawler, associate professor of astronomy at the University of Regina, joins the show to explain what this project is and why she's concerned.

Air conditioning is something a lot of people use during the summer to keep cool.

He joins Evan now to share his thoughts.

Doctors from coast to coast are calling for Canada’s premiers to move quickly on existing solutions to address the country’s growing health-care challenges.

On Monday, President Donald Trump imposed even more tariffs on Canada, claiming we are treating American goods and companies unfairly.

Brian Lilley, political columnist for the Toronto Sun, joins Evan to bring us up to speed.
