Thong = wrong

Was it just me or were you getting grossed out when Rick starting talking about the Premier and the Mayor wearing thongs on the Gay Pride parade float? WRONG WRONG and more WRONG. It wasn't the best visual for a Monday morning!

Our poll question asked if the Mayor should ride the float this year. You know, call me naive, but I believe PK when he says he has scheduled commitments. He always does the flag raising at city hall etc. I guess I've had experience with homophobic mayors in the past, so I know PK is not homophobic. I went to school in London, Ontario and the mayor at the time, Dianne Haskett would not proclaim Gay Pride week. That was back in '97. The name might sound familiar. Haskett ran in that London-North Centre by-election and was trounced by a lady named Elizabeth May.

Another factoid from the show today: Stephen Harper's stylist is also psychic!! I'm surprised she didn't tell him having a stylist and being hypocritical about it would lead him to be slammed in the media. But maybe she doesn't have the amazing skill of our own Debbie Young!

What did you think of Gloria Mac and Andrew Younger? They were really attacking each other, but it wasn't personal, believe me, they are actually quite friendly. Gloria's surgery is on Friday and of course, we hope it goes well because city council would frankly, suck, without her.

Tomorrow's 11 o' clock hour should be very interesting - Tony Rodgers and Jim Hoskins will be in about gun control! It promises to be a good debate. As always, Rick needs your calls though, so hopefully we'll talk to you tomorrow!

Enjoy this great day,

Amber

I agree Amber, any of the politicans in a thong is a bad visual.

Its because of you and Rick having the Hotline that people right across this province are able to hear the real facts of what is happening out there in our "un-democratic" province.

Its obvious that citizens right across this province are having problems with Rodney and his tory government and the environment.

Then again that is a problem right across the country with these Tory governments.

Keep up the good work and I'll be listening again tomorrow
