Episode 18, despite the numerical error at the beginning, is up! Marty educates Spirited Kenny a little bit about the High Holy Days and Jewish guilt and then veers stright into civic election news opinions and info-tainment…
5:00 Not many policy announcements had traction so far – but Tom Brodbeck told Free Press readers one that is “doable” — is Jenny Motkaluk’s idea to legally seize derilict properties, put them to auction and have landlords rebuild them to rent to the homeless.
7:00Marty makes the rounds to a couple of Mayoral campaign offices. After reading about him in Gene Telpner’s column for years, he met Hannon Bell at the Kevin Klein HQ; scored a home-baked cookie from Gillingham’s digs in Osborne Village; and then an hour later walking to Shoppers met one candidate with nice T-Shirts and no bricks-and-mortar location. After exchanging introductions, Shaun Loney was asked what message he had for our listeners- He specifically spoke about infrstructure promises made by… Klein and Gilingham! Proposals he scoffed at for costing a projected $100M.
12:40 The latest Probe poll was Loney Tunes! The newsrooms gave no serious analysis to this “poll” (Loney 14/Gillingham 15/Murray 40 = ‘a 25% lead!’) but we did. Listen as we break down the numbers, proported to the media and public to have any legitimacy when the undecided borders on 40% (and 8% more won’t vote). Supplying the media with clickbait and headlines does not serve the electorate. MSM isn’t being held to account, because when they claim Glen Murray is “frontrunner” with “solid support” in a “poll of 600 online voters”, his actual committed vote is literally, all of 50 people from that original 600. Hear us do the math the media won’t.
20:00 Coun. Cindy Gilory was forced to react to the videos of back lane trash-heaps in her ward by Don Woodstock. Either Gilroy didn’t explain herself properly or she exposed she is clueless after 8 years in office. Hear why she has no idea how the city failed to enforce its own rules for occupancy permits and health codes and why her solution does nothing to make the neighborhood safer or help landlords solve the garbage problem.
32:00 Rick Shone did some informal polling about political awareness… well, hear how low the political IQ was from respondents. How many don’t know the election date? We explain that even in 2018, one councilor didn’t know basic civics.A nice note from Coun. Markus Chambers to Marty is discussed, in light of Chambers previously responding in 2021 when a Jewish rally was assaulted by antisemites and Mayor Bowman stayed silent; and lastly, a listener’s thoughful comments about the election, crime and derelict housing.
38:00 Part 2 – More thoughts about Gilroy’s misguided garbage response – what was the Permit Office up to?
43:30 An extensive crime round-up, with arrests in 100 bike thefts, a 72 year old woman dragged from her car in broad daylight 4 blocks from the St Boniface Hospital, a self-styled Bonnie and Clyde stabbed 3 people in a car-theft kidnapping spree, and 5 drug-peddling dudes from Edmonton were ripping off stores while armed to the teeth. Add in another homicide too, of course.
59:30 This violent disorder lands on police leadership, but Kenny agrees that WPS members and the public have no faith in Danny “Robo-Smyth”. No wonder Motkaluk wants cops to patrol buses, after a pervert molested women on 5 buses last week no description was released by police.
