682...Tuesday Morning Six Sharp

It's you, me and Candace Hanna on 93.1 CKCU.

Joining me from his palatial estate in the secluded suburbs of the city will be Doug Hempstead from the Central Canada Exhibition Association. The Ex, or, as I like to refer to it, Vanier Visits The Glebe, [An 11 day retrospective of Wal Mart fashions] starts Thursday of this week and is always a blast.

Check me out, tomorrow, early, 93.1.

349...We Love To Talk In Canada

Talk.

And talk.

And talk some more.

In my town, Ottawa, we have been talking about moving the Central Canada Exhibition, The Ex, since the middle of World War Two. Still at Lansdowne Park. We have been talking about building rapid transit, a subway, something something, in this town since, minimum, the 1974 mayoralty eleciton. Still no rapid transit.

Parliament Hill is in my town and on the Hill they have been talking about buliding a superfast supertrain from Quebec City to Windsor as long as I can remember and I can remember back into the 1960's.

Here we go again.

Mike De Souza of Canwest News Services writes this morning that Joe Volpe, the Liberal Party transportation critic, says that now is the time for such a train and that it would aid in nation building. Even though they are separatists, the BQ follows the Canadian way and to that end the Bloc Quebecois transportation critic, Mario Laframboise dit "no way", unless of course, the nation you are talking about is Quebec and then what do we need a train for anyhow?

Oy f'ing vey.

Do something already.
