Dear Listeners,

What a whirlwind of a Federal Election. Historic truly. Liberals get in for a fourth term. New Prime Minister who has never served in government. Leader of the Opposition - loses his seat; NDP Leader, likewise, loses his seat. Lone Green Party representative stands.

Saskatchewan gains back its first Liberal MP representing the north half of our province - something our province has not had for a long time.

Have a listen to Christina Cherneskey and I as we unpack what this may mean. Raising more questions then not.

Civically Speaking,

Lenore and Christina

In this segment, we reflect on the recent passing of Pope Francis at age 88, discussing his legacy of humility and social justice. We also examine Canada's record-breaking advance voter turnout ahead of the April 28 federal election, highlighting the nation's democratic engagement. Additionally, we address Saskatoon's escalating drug crisis, with over 900 overdose incidents reported this year, and; we recognize and pay tribute to Lawrence Joseph, a respected First Nations leader and justice advocate who passed away at 79.
