Rick gave him a Hotline round of applause and I have to echo that tenfold. Yes, Yes, Yes! Thank you, Tim Bousquet! I read the article yesterday and felt physically ill. Tim will be here with us on Tuesday, and although I love sinking my teeth into a news issue, this is seriously out of control! The allegations in this article are damning and I agree with Rick - heads have to roll over this. March break is over next week, you can rest assured a lot of politicians are going to want to have a save over this. I feel so disgusted, cheated and furious over the money spent. It's called excess, it's called greed, it's called karma and it better come back and bite these people you know where. I'm nominating Tim Bousquet for Hotline Nova Scotian of the year for his dogged reporting on this issue. The gravy train needs to stop and it needs to stop NOW.
I'm also with Rick on this Michelin issue. Caller Don clearly stated Everett Smith had a case today. First the judge is making Smith pay 300-thosuand dollars in legal fees? Rick's so right - if Michelin does pursue this and tries to take his house or something, it's going to be like Robin Hood. It will start with the Hotline, phone assaults, boycotts, you name it, it will be on.
I'm in awe of Al Hollingsworth. He came out firing today (you should have heard him off the air!!!) and it was amazing. Shooting from the hip, no nonsense, straight goods from Uncle Al. I love this "media hour" every Friday. People who share their opinions, well at least most of them have shared their opinions, I'm thinking of one notable exception....
Having Al host the Summer Hotline would be incredible, I really hope that happens! Al gave us a great snippet today...apparently John Baird is loathed in his home riding of Ottawa-West-Nepean.
Will brought up something very interesting - the changes at the Herald. Since the Daily News folded, I find it unreadable. It's so dull, filled with piped-in news. The Metro is breaking more stories than the Chronicle-Herald! It sucks! I miss the Daily News so much, miss Rodenhiser, HFX, Martello Tower etc. It was a great little newspaper and now we're stuck with the Chronically-Horrid. Now I'm using that term because it's true.
Anyway, got some stuff to do here so I'm going to wrap it up. Tune in Monday, we're not going to let this Commonwealth Games thing die. The funny part was, Rick was trying to get Don Mills to come in and talk about Citizens for Halifax next week. I guess that's not going to happen anymore!
Cheers,
Amber

Yes, yes, yes ... Al Hollingsworth for summer replacement on the Hotline. Please, no more Walling!
Amber.
Good Evening.
It would be nice if both AJ AND Mr.Hollingsworth were both hosting the Hotline this Summer. It is fair to say they atr both well informed and entertaining.
Further more as per the Commonwealth Games per say and the Money spent there can be little doubt that somebody somewhere needs to explain their actions. That said it will be interesting to see what if anythings happens and if so what and to whom. As always Amber you do a great Job keep the good work.

It was a dejavue experience reading Tim''s excellent, investigative report on the 2014 Commonwealth Games Bid Committee.
The 'Bid Committee'payments to their fellow 'associates' was referred to as Ad Scam and promted the Gomery investigation of the federal level. Bid Scam, a carbon copy of Ad Scam scenario on a provincial level. The province:- Nova Scotia the original designers of Ad Scam scenarios, designed during the 1980's during the Mulroney with his elected and unelected, 'Associates.'
Why is it, Nova Scotians have such short memories and incapeable of getting the big picture of the decades old corruptions unless, it's literaly spelled out for thm.
You'd think Nova Scotians would have learned something from the Mulroney-Buchanan regime. Mulroney and his national and international elecxted and unelected 'Associates' are still very much in control of the province of Nova Scotia. Research who the other 'associates' to AIMS are in addition to Brian Mulroney.
