Two stories on the convoy, the Justice Ruslo, who is in charge of it, it's going to start on September 18th.
00:00:15.540
And a Freedom Convoy protester who was facing jail.
00:00:25.020
The inflation rate dropped today to 7.6% for July.
00:00:33.640
And he's got a story on inflation is down and housing starts are up.
00:00:39.200
So a bit of good news for homeowners and prospective homebuyers.
00:00:43.980
And on the site, Corey, we've got a story about your replacement, Nigel Hannaford, who is starting next week.
00:00:52.060
And it looks like he's not going to take any guff from anybody.
00:00:55.440
So we'll look forward to welcoming him into the office next week.
00:01:00.140
Yeah, we're maintaining our curmudgeonly sort of theme here, at least in the opinions department.
00:01:06.420
So people won't expect too much radical change happening in there in that aspect.
00:01:10.840
And I'm glad that I will no longer be the oldest person in the newsroom.
00:01:22.200
Glad your mother's drinking from where we got matching cups going on now with these Liberals tears cups.
00:01:29.280
I don't think she's going to be able to persuade my dad to drink from them.
00:01:36.140
And they always joke that they cancel each other's vote out.
00:01:53.640
And Dave always diligently makes sure we keep good news copy up there.
00:01:57.700
I mean, as I was able to rant about, you know, our legacy media mainstays like the CTV, they're going down, guys.
00:02:06.800
And part of why the Western Standard has been doing really well is a couple of reasons.
00:02:09.380
I mean, for one, it's because Dave is getting good news content out there.
00:02:12.660
He's making sure it's quality stuff, breaking stuff, and original stuff.
00:02:19.460
And those who can get that are the members who subscribe, you know, because we don't take tax dollars.
00:02:29.580
That's how we've got reporters across the country.
00:02:31.500
If you haven't subscribed yet, this is where I nag you.
00:02:43.500
Again, it's less than old newspaper subscriptions used to cost.
00:02:46.300
Less than a lot of people are spending with their subscriptions with some questionable sites out there, I'm sure, too.
