On today's show, we have the tragic news of a pit bull attack on a woman in Alberta, the details of what happened, and the reaction from the paramedics and the health care system. We also have a story on the pit bull tragedy, and a story about bug recipes being served to kids in British schools.
00:00:17.960We've got an early story up there now as our Mel Risden is trying to find out what the hell happened.
00:00:24.960She's talking to Alberta, trying to talk to Alberta Health Services, trying to talk to Alberta Health, trying to talk to the paramedics union.
00:00:33.380Everybody so far, especially Alberta Health and Alberta Health Services, head in the sands, Corey.
00:00:40.020They know this is a big blunder, and they're trying to get their story straight, or they're just not going to say anything at all.
00:00:46.260But absolutely, absolutely unforgivable that this woman had to die.
00:00:51.320And I'm as pissed off about it, as you are.
00:00:55.240Of course, this will now spark the old debate about whether pit bulls should be allowed in cities.
00:01:02.400They're currently banned in Ontario cities.
00:01:04.980And no doubt this tragedy will spark that conversation to be held once again.
00:01:11.880And our Mel will be on top of that, too, trying to get both sides of the story there.
00:01:16.680Other stuff we've got on the go right now.
00:01:19.880Lila Ahir has joined the UCP leadership race.
00:01:25.100Another former Jason Kenney cabinet minister basically coming out and saying we need to admit to our mistakes and try and move on.
00:01:36.180The boss, Derek, has got a good column about Justin Trudeau.
00:01:39.520You know, he's taking everybody's guns away from them across the country.
00:01:43.000Perhaps he should take his bodyguard's guns away and have them just rely on karate if the prime minister is ever attacked.
00:01:51.440We've got a story from Arthur Green on the Conservatives saying many Canadians aren't getting enough to eat because they can't afford it.
00:01:59.580And I certainly went grocery shopping on the weekend, Corey, and I was a bit shocked at the bill.
00:02:04.840And we've got a story out of Ottawa, all these airport delays.
00:02:09.300You want to fly anywhere, you've got to get there three hours in advance.
00:02:12.280And, you know, the Fed knew this was coming.
00:02:15.420All the traveller data shows that this was going to be booming.
00:02:19.200And they seem to have taken no steps to try and get ahead of the game and address it.
00:02:24.960And we've got what looks to be a Toronto-area boy charged with threatening to shoot up a Florida Gay Pride Week event down there.
00:02:35.300So cross-border police cooperation led to his arrest in Ontario yesterday.
00:02:41.160And he's being charged with all that sort of stuff in Florida.
00:02:45.400So that's what we've got at the moment.
00:02:48.360As mentioned, Mel will be digging hard on the pit bull tragedy.
00:02:53.560And our Amanda Brown's got an interesting story on what's being served for children at some British schools.
00:03:00.700And it'll make your skin crawl, Corey.
00:03:04.580And it may have – what were those bugs that you had on at the start?
