Two questions

There were two main issues on the show today: the "confidentiality" of Commonwealth games bid information and whether the dog involved in the attack on the 3-year old girl should be put down or not. Believe it or not these two issues were seamlessly interwoven by all the callers today!

Whatever you might say about Fred Mac, he is one smooth cat. He doesn't get frazzled easily and handled Bruce DeVenne's questions well, even getting a dig in at him in regards to his council bid. Can you imagine if Bruce wins a council seat? I think it would be great and would add a little excitement to those Eastlink broadcasts. He cuts right through the crap and makes his point. Go Bruce!

Darce Fardy, the former Freedom of Information officer had a little something to say about the lack of Games bid information. He says it's crap. You can log on to his website: www.nsrighttoknow.ca for more info on what Darce does now and how you can get the information you need to know. He's holding a forum on openness on October 4th at King's College. It goes from 7-10 at Alumni Hall.

What is up with Brian Mulroney? Why didn't he make any of this public when Pierre Trudeau was alive? Sure, it's easy to wait until someone dies before launching a vitriolic attack. Where's the moral fibre there?

So...Rick finally asked Will on the air if he was behind www.dumpkelly.com. Will covered pretty well saying if he had the website he would have called it: www.dumpthemall.com. Ha! Will cracks me up, especially when he mentioned Bruce's "terrific little limerick".

Well, tomorrow is the day we'll find out if that dog is put down or not, so that should generate a lot of conversation during the open hour 1st hour. Remember, no sports in the first hour, and although I'm not sad about it, I just realized I may never get to hear Rick say "Sportstalk" in his way he did every Friday. I'll have to get him to say it off the air to amuse Deb and myself. We're going to have that medium in during hour number 2, so if you're hoping to connect with any deceased relatives, give me a call during the second hour and we'll get you on the air.

It is a stunningly gorgeous day outside - enjoy it!

Cheers!
