Canada Post and the union of postal workers are in talks once again... and the threat of another national strike isn't out of the question. This morning we spoke with Read Bowan and Debbie Northover of East Coast Quilting Company in downtown St. John's, to hear how them and other local businesses are dealing with this possibility.

For the first time since 1993, the bar ceremony for new lawyers will not take place at the Supreme Court.

Our Morning Show's Sarah Antle spoke with wheelchair user Blair Curtis about the change.

After a marathon judicial recount, the Terra Nova-The Peninsulas riding came down to 12 votes -- but in the other direction. This morning we were joined by MUN political scientist Kelly Blidook, who breaks it down for us.

You might be having a few visitors today for the long weekend, but Leann Northcott's having a couple of hundred. She's the manager of the Pippy Park campground, and we spoke with her this morning about what she's expecting this season.
