Welcome to our new listeners! We appreciate the enthusiastic response for last week’s interview with sportscasting legend Peter Young about the life and times of the Golden Jet, Bobby Hull.
Here’s an that touches on the fans and his friends
You’ll want to hear a reaction we received from a listener explaining the out-of-context slant of most of the local media coverage, and their suggestion for the next talk with PY The Sports Guy.
8:40 Back to our political coverage: A recent Manitoba election poll showed an 11 seat swing between Wab Kinew’s NDP and the reigning Tories – but Marty points out what the new result really shows. Will it help spur renewed enthusiasm at the grassroots to modernize the appeal of the Manitoba PCs?
11:44 Exhibit A? A change of plans for a potential candidate in Brandon West, Jordan Sisson. Hear about his background and why this is a bit of a big deal. There was also a change in plans in Spruce Woods. Some may ask what the rush was, before the nomination meeting was postponed? Some media doesn’t seem to give a full picture of the candidates and Marty fills in the blanks. One of them was endorsed sight unseen by ‘she who finished second’ to Heather Stefanson to become Premier. But that isn’t the only race where Shelly Glover has tapped a favorite.
16.40 In Kildonan-River East, longtime political strategist and former Glover campaigner Braydon Mazurkiewich is posting high-profile endorsements that cut across social and political lines. Hear who’s backing him in his effort to unite the party.
23:18 Part 2 To start, a shout-out to Scott Taylor for his own reflections on Bobby Hull in Senior Scope.
27:40 Spirited Kenny noticed a pattern with a couple of the PC candidates – we mull over how the anti-Pallister backlash is going to affect the party. Are the not-Stefanson conservative voters who were alienated in a position to upset some Tory applecarts in rural Manitoba?
32:15 Harvey Pollock, a legendary city lawyer and a mensch, passed away last week. * Certain * newsrooms didn’t seem to notice. They get shamed after Marty provides a history lesson to the journalists who ignored the importance of Pollock to the legal profession, how he made history at the Aboriginal Justice Inquiry, and helped build a bond between First Nations and the Jewish community. Marty even whistles in his honour.
44:40 City Hall briefs; then, a rookie city councilor in Peterborough, Ontario took some flak for urging residents to donate more than just tarps to help maintain homeless encampments. Based on his own experience, he wants folks to contribute… pot and booze. We talk about the idea and what would happen if a Winnipeg councilor tried that ‘harm reduction’ stunt.
51:55 – Part 3 Crime round up – why hasn’t the media mentioned that an accused in homicides #4 and #5 made similar headlines 20 years ago? Then hear the odd court sentence of a maniac who crippled a woman in a Transit stabbing. And, Kenny talks catfish/alligator DNA!
Marty has undertaken an investigation that will lead to the doors of 2 cabinet ministers.
