Trudeau told MPs he would reflect on what was said, but when asked today if he would stay on as prime minister after that date he answered a definitive "yes."

It's Throwback Thursday - just a minute to remember the good ol' days.

I was still in high school in 1983 when I learned one of my favourite bands was on the road for a reunion tour. I was only 10 years old when they broke up so I had never seen them perform live.

The Guess Who was together again and one of their shows was at the Centre of the Arts in Regina.
