There are traditionally a couple of slow news times. One is in the summer, the other is around the holidays. Well, the summer was a whirlwind of activity and so far, almost a month before Christmas, things are just insanely busy. From Celine Dion, to the legislature going back to this Taser death....it has been crazy!!!
I'm watching the news conference on the Taser death right now. From what it looks like, there was a violent struggle with police in the police station, he was tasered, he was taken to hospital, cleared medically and then died 30 hours later at the Correctional Facility. The 45-year old was facing an assault charge. That's all I have right now. Deputy Chief Tony Burbridge is leading the news conference and the Medical Examiner is doing an autopsy, so it's unclear if he died from something Taser related. I'll keep you posted!! This is going to make for one busy show tomorrow. The Rodenhiser is at the conference too, so it's going to be busy.
We were taking people's guesses today with how long (or short) this session of the legislature will be! I really want to watch the throne speech, but this police news conference is going on right now. I have no idea what the Premier is planning except for this anti-right to strike legislation. As if the Premier requested "late last night" for Labour to meet with him today! Then he's shocked that they said no. I hate politics sometimes!
On a completely different topic: pressure. I feel incredibly nervous for Ted Abraham who will be starting for SMU tomorrow at the Vanier Cup! Rick says they did an interview with his mom and she says he is ready to go since Eric Glavic is out with a torn ACL. Good luck Ted and Saint Mary's!!!
Anyway....I have tonnes of work to do. We're trying to get Cecil Clarke on tomorrow too, but Rodenhiser will be in during hour number 1 and then one of the best investigative journalists in Canada - Michael Harris (not to be confused with the former Premier of Ontario).
Have a good day!

Hello Amber....what can i say/ your lookin good.
Well this am myself and a few others decided after receiving a call from 95.7, that we would go on and talk about the rally and the DOE....Never again....This Richard Z was out to lunch...first of all he didn't even realize he had called one of us for an interview...interviews where the person can't get a word in eadge wise....4 people were cut off before getting a chance to reply to any questions....not impressed with that show at all....never again..
So I tried the rest but came back to the best...92CJCH.
The radio station where you are allowed to talk.or rant..
Thanks for all the time you have allowed me and others to express their concerns over many issues.Negative or positive..and if some people like Joanne don't like to hear negativity then don't tune in. very simple...
I'll be listening tomorrow and if I get sick of hearing Cecil Clarke's voice then i will turn off the radio till he is finished with his BS. What the hell does he know about the law?Minister responsible for Human Rights when he was instrumental in the establishing of the secret CLC for the Prince Mine clean-up....a minister who will not meet with his constituents of CB North, in paticular Pt. Aconi.
Sorry Rick, but Cecilia is not, as far as I am concerned, deserving of t he word"Honorable"
