We have also had so many callers, on and off-air, that contributed their viewpoints, as well as many listeners who took the time to send us their tips, reactions, thoughts and complaints to talk@kick.fm.

Two that stood out so far this year, were

- a caller from inside the Remand Centre, who agreed that First Nations leaders had to do more to keep their communities out of the influence of native street gangs, and who made no excuses about his own battle with alcohol leading him to multiple breaches of probation and back into custody, and

- an email we received when we broke the news of the death of Harold Buchwald. When even Manitoba provincial auditor Carol Bellringer listens to the show, we must be doing something right.

REPLAYS MONDAY AND TUESDAY

HAPPY CANADA DAY Be safe!

BACK LIVE 4 PM WEDNESDAY, JULY 2nd.

(P.S. - Our open invitation to Premier Gary Doer to appear on the show still stands.)
