Jan 15 2025- NDP Covid Fear Campaign Fails

The Great Canadian Talk Show

Between the fire on Main Street and then the big blizzard, posting Episode 3 was unexpectedly delayed- but we hope you'll agree it was worth the wait!

Part 1- We get caught up on some recent events, including the passing of long time friend Norm Dahmer, who wrestled in Canada as Killer Austin in the 1980's; the CKY reunion with Steve Vogelsang that was a great time organized by Peter Young; and the Celebration of LIfe for Ted Wyman, the fun-loving musician and Winnipeg Sun sports editor who passed away far too soon.

15.20 Part 2 - An analysis of the press conference held by Premier Wab Kinew and Mayor Scott Gillingham to announce the "Your Way Home' plan to eradicate illegal encampments.

Here was Marty's report in the Sun:

As you'll hear, the blame for the situation getting out of control rests with former Mayor Brian Bowman, who refused to let police or council crack down on homeless criminals and now evades accountability after his politically-motivated appointment by Justin Trudeau to the King's Bench.

We note why the plan was rushed into the public realm, the selling job, how the plan will supposedly work, and whether the new apartments will truly be safe. There's an explanation of how the NDP is botching- or rigging, depending on who you ask- the public consultation process, including the use of a malfunctioning website.

36.20 Part 3 details some of the listener and reader reaction to the interviews with former police sergeant Loren Schinkel and PC leadership hopeful Wally Daudrich.

Still as of this weekend, no police chief has been hired. It's a total embarrassment for city hall.

46.50- A Free Press story about a Daudrich campaign event displayed the open bias of the Free Press reporter, who ignored his extensive remarks about the economy and instead tried to smear Daudrich because- horrors- he and some of his supporters have "right wing" opinions the newspaper doesn't approve of and wants their readers to find revolting.

How many times has the Green Party been described as "far left"? Never. How many sexes does Carol Sanders think exist? She should tell us.

52.10- A column by Tom Brodbeck continued the Free Press scare narrative about Covid. He's obsessed with the fact almost 85% of Manitobans don't line up for more boosters. The province's health mandarins are letting him down. We fill in the blanks of why that is that Dr. Tom won't discuss.
