The Evan Bray Show

Move over Jurassic Park, there's a new discovery in town, and it's a lot closer to home. A 390-million-year-old, ancient, armoured fish has been discovered in Lake Manitoba. Just after a free fishing weekend in Saskatchewan, Dr. Melina Jobbins, research team leader and postdoctoral fellow at the University of Manitoba's Earth Sciences Department, joins Evan to discuss the first-of-its-kind prehistoric fish discovery for Manitoba!

We're living in a time where the word "crisis" is thrown around everywhere: climate crisis, housing crisis, mental health crisis, the list goes on. But while it can feel like the world is living on edge, humans manage to push through. James Cairns, professor in the Department of Indigenous Studies, Law and Social Justice at Wilfrid Laurier University and writer of In Crisis, On Crisis: Essays in Troubled Times, explores this in his latest essay. He joins Evan to share what inspired him to write this essay and how we can all stay grounded in uncertain times.

In April 2020, Canadians woke up to tragedy in Nova Scotia. A lone gunman, disguised as a Mountie, went on a killing spree in a rural part of the Atlantic province. He killed 22 people. Paul Palango, retired investigative journalist and author of Anatomy of a Cover-Up: The Truth about the RCMP and the Nova Scotia Massacres, joins Evan to discuss what he uncovered through his research and what questions remain unanswered.

Each and every Monday, we invite experts in the law to pull up a seat and discuss the week’s biggest crime and justice stories. In today’s Round Table of Justice, Evan is joined by Prince Albert Police Service Deputy Chief Farica Prince; Regina Police Service's Lisa Frei, TRiP Coordinator; and Brian Lewis, executive director of Growing Young Movers Youth Development Inc. to discuss youth justice and how police services and programs steer youth away from crime.

Evan goes to the phones to chat with listeners about what's on their minds today.
