Three bloggers and a Free Press editorial paint an unflattering picture of the NDP stewardship of the province's finances, development and management, while PC leader Hugh McFadyen outright calls unelected premier Greg Selinger a liar for his claim he will pay down the budget deficit without raising taxes.
I tell of the drive through the easy side of town (Watt/Archibald version) and what it says about the NDP MLA's who represent those areas. Meanwhile, a dirty NDP trick to sidestep partisan advertising using the guise of a health facility announcement was so blatant, even Mary Agnes Welch had to call foul. That and more discussed in the first part of the show.
Then we're joined by an old ink-stained wretch of the news and sports variety, as MPI's Brian Smiley talks about Czeck hockey players, a famous check by a Leaf, and asks Brian Burke to please call him about that coaching vacancy. We also try to wrap our heads around why some drivers in this city are so terrible.
