93.1 in Ottawa/Gatineau.
With Concillia Muonde to talk about Take Back The Night which goes down on Thursday. It is a march where women TBTN. No dudes, just womyn marching in many cities in our country [and their country too] to TBTN.
Although I am not a fan of anything that is exclusionary, I think that selecting out is counter productive, I am a big fan of Concillia Muonde and am glad to get the word out.
Later in the hour that starts at six I will have Neil deMause from www.fieldofschemes.com to get his view on the Lansdowne sitch in Ottawa.
For those of you not current on Lansdowne, it is one of the most important pieces of public land on the continent. A public park since 1868 Lansdowne is up for a well need refitting. The question is who is going to do it and who is going to pay for it.
Look, federal money is going to be involved so if you are in Moose Jaw, Halifax or Saanich-Gulf Islands this impacts you.

851...Tomorrow 93.1 Six In Da Morning
Moi, the World Famous Dan Shields and, in studio, Michelle McEvoy, coach of Carleton's Field Hockey team.
Also Neil deMause from www.fieldofschemes.com in Brooklyn, New York to talk about stadiums and their financial impact on cities. This is totally relevant to today's news in Ottawa because of the impact the Lansdowne renos will have on our town.
Carolyn Willman of http://www.contestqueen.com/ will be on the phone from 905 later in the hour to tell you how you can become a contest winner.
And for the full hour health issues will pop up from Matthew Buechler who is not so sure that the swine flu vaccine is a good thing for you and I to take.
944 on Rogers, 93.1 on the wireless and www.ckcufm.com on the internet.

178...This Is Why We Need The CFL In Ottawa
Matt Dominguez.
Never heard of him? That's okay, he has never heard of you.
Seriously, he is a Texas boy who ended up in Regina playing for the Saskatchewan Rough Riders of the Canadian Football League and now, his career in, best case scenario, its twilight, is continuing to live in the city that rhymes with fun working for a real estate company and living with his wife and two children in that town's north end.
Here is why you should care.
Men like Matt Dominguez bring a different flavour, the flavour of diversity, to markets like Regina, Saskatchewan. I think it is safe to posit that when growing up in Georgetown, Texas, Mr. Dominguez didn't know who, what or where Saskatchewan was. Now he is an important member of the community. What got him there? Professional football.
Flash to my town, Ottawa. If it wasn't for the Riders [may you rest in piece] we wouldn't have a Lone Star Restaurant, Local Heroes and a number of other things that give the city flavour. Ditto the 67s, Gatineau Olympiques and Senators.
That is why we need the CFL [and NHL, and the OHL and the QMJHL] in Ottawa.
Not at any cost; I subscribe to the Neil deMause's Field of Schemes philosophy, but we need 'em.
Just don't use public money [or as much public money] on the teams, ca va?
