Week Two of Winnipeg's Premiere Podcast kicks off with an exclusive !
Which NDP stalwart embarrassed himself on Saturday at a funeral reception, of all things, by trying to start an argument with someone who has publicly turned away from the Greg Selinger regime? We got a first hand account and name names. As well we tell you what was revealed in the confrontation about the NDP re-election philosophy.
With the election writ made official, our continuing series of candidate interviews features Liberal hopeful Paul Hesse of Fort Rouge; we review the Winnipeg Sun's weekend commentary from Tom Brodbeck about Selinger "cooking the books" by not reporting money moved to Crown Corporations as grants which keeps the cash on the books and lowers the true deficit, and an editorial by Kevin Engstrom reviving the old-time Sterling Lyon-ism about the NDP spending like "drunken sailors". Meanwhile Winnipeg Free Press coverage in print and on their Margo Goodhand approved-blogs was seen by some listeners as selective reporting and a continuation of a bias against Hugh McFadyen.
The Crime Courts Public Safety report includes a follow - up in the Metro by James Turner on Gordo's favorite violent homeless downtown panhandler, Faron Hall, who is in jail after being convicted for threatening a mother getting her two kids in the car; and a variety of incidents - a lot of break-ins and robberies actually - required the help of the crime chopper to track down the (alleged) perps.
Episode 7, were it to be numbered, concludes with Frank the Italian Barber's prediction for this years' Super Bowl winner- he's picked 3 out of the last 4 winners folks - and how the city of Vancouver and Vancouver Police Department is desperately trying to blame the NHL for their failure to control the Stanley Cup riot, and how no one is buying it.
