This coming week is a must-not-miss 5 days on The Great Canadian Talk Show:
Monday: We dissect the latest smear in the relentless anti-Sam Katz campaign spearheaded by Free Press columnist Gordon Sinclair and ask more questions about the different standards applied to Katz than to friends of the newspaper like University of Winnipeg President Lloyd Axworthy; also the publisher of the new Manitoba Score Magazine, Tom Thiessen, will be in studio with Marty and Frank the Italian Barber to talk about his business plan to give amateur sports the coverage it is denied by mainstream media outlets.
Tuesday: Councillor Harvey Smith will appear in studio at 4.05 PM to explain the findings of the City Finance Committee in their investigation into the multi-million dollar overruns for the West End pollution control plant.
Chairman Coun. Mike O'Shaughnessy will only discuss the story with "reporters he has a prior relationship with" at CBC -- despite our numerous requests for an interview. But Smith did not hesitate to agree to answer the hard questions in a face to face. So all of you who "spin the dial to Radio 990" will have to tune in
Wednesday: CTV's Crimewatch reporter Kelly Dehn will review the latest in murder and mayhem and update us on the search for a new police chief; and at 4.40 PM the owners of Krooked Eye Studios will talk about their efforts to find new musical acts and enhance career options for the youth of Winnipeg.
Thursday: Spirited Kenny has been working for months on the 10-year long failure of the federal government to enact a proper warning system "CANALERT" when weather emergencies hit the region. His investigation hit a brick wall with Public Safety Canada -- and what he found out about the projected costs in terme of lives lost and property damage will shock Manitobans; and at 4.45 PM Slam!Sports journalist Jon Waldman will join the show for a look at the top sports stories.
Friday: Internationally reknowned Middle East affairs analyst Yoram Hamizrachi-East of Canadasheli.com will preview the screening of the Oscar-nominated film BEAUFORT, the story of Israeli army commander Liraz Liberti, who had the duty of holding and then destroying a mountaintop watch outpost while Lebanese bombs dropped on his troops.
BEAUFORT will be shown on Monday, October 29th, at 7 PM, at the Berney Theatre on the Asper Jewish Community Centre, 123 Doncaster. Tickets can be arranged by calling 477-7510 or by going to www.radyjcc.com (click on Ticket central) and cost $8.50 and only $5.00 for students with photo ID. This event, to be moderated by Marty Gold of 92.9 Kick-FM, is sponsored by the Winnipeg Chapter, Canadian Friends of Hebrew University (Ron East, Director).
After the film Hamizrachi-East will take part in a panel discussion with Lt. Col. Jonathan D. Halevi (Ret.), the Dir of Research & Policy Planning for the Orient Research Group Ltd and a Senior Researcher of the Middle East and Radical Islam at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
And Shaun Myall of Island Sports and Entertainment (ISE) Ltd. will bring the latest exciting developments after our Power Pro Wrestling TV Series pitch scored the highest ever rating for a segment of CBC-TV's Dragons' Den TV show. You can see the actual segment and the aftermath on the main page of www.powerprowrestling.ca.
