Another time waster....

The issue of "Halifax" coming before council tomorrow night is another example of the incredibly efficient, issue cognizant council working for our betterment.

That's a joke.

This issue is so ridiculous, I won't even bother getting into it. There are so many issues to deal with, it's shocking to me that council will likely spend hours on this tomorrow night. C'mon 2008!

I thought Rick's interview with Sherman Hines was great, but disturbing. His frustration is completely understandable. The judge gives a guy who has shown disdain for conditional sentencing by breaking it - a conditional sentence? It's absolutely stunning.


That was a very interesting comment from one person who responded to Friday's blog. The poster suggested not letting the Premier on the show. Read the post and check it out. A couple of callers today suggested he shouldn't be on, but then caller Mary told us she really wants to hear what the Premier has to say after not being on our show for so long. Although I know we all want to press him on his reasons for him not coming on the show, I agree with Rick. We have him for a short time, so let's stick to the issues and ask the tough questions there. I will be wary of plants, you better believe it. It's going to be a very interesting Monday with the by-election the next day - this fall has been incredibly busy so far!

Liberal leader Stephen MacNeil is in tomorrow. You'll remember I wasn't very impressed with his performance the last time, but I have to give the Liberals credit for saying they wouldn't support the anti-strike legislation for health care workers. I'm hoping he comes in with some ideas because if the Premier forces this legislation and makes it a confidence motion, hey, we're headed to the polls!! There's speculation about a possible federal election too! The Bloc is making noise about bringing down the government, but as Peter Stoffer said today, he doesn't think it will actually happen.

I was kind of disappointed Gene didn't call during our hour with Peter and Alexa McDonough. Either Gene was busy...or he's losing his edge?

Kind of chilly today, so stay warm and enjoy the rest of the sunny week! Tune into C100 at 4 and 5 too - one of our favourite Hotline guests starts doing the weather - Cindy Day!

Take care,
