00:00:00.000 Big news in the world of hockey, especially the Calgary Flames.
00:00:03.700 Calgary Flames have signed free agent, center iceman Nazeem Qadri,
00:00:09.200 used to play with Colorado Avalanche, won a Stanley Cup last year.
00:00:14.660 Flames have signed him to a reported seven-year deal worth $7.5 million a year.
00:00:21.920 So that's really strengthening the Flames lineup.
00:00:24.880 They're now very deep in center, so they're going to be a team to watch this year for sure.
00:00:32.180 And speaking of hockey, there's a nutcase NDP lady out there, Zerilio, I think is her name, from BC. 1.00
00:00:40.580 She tweeted that, hey, you know what, because of climate change, we should remove all indoor ice. 0.61
00:00:46.720 It's really creating a lot of climate change and emissions.
00:00:51.420 So I don't think that's going to go over well with the millions of hockey players, figure skaters, curlers, speed skaters, ringette players,
00:01:01.180 and on and on and on that have fun on ice, indoor ice in Canada.
00:01:07.380 But we'll see how that does for the NDP.
00:01:11.180 Jonathan Bradley's got a story on Yale, that prestigious university.
00:01:16.420 University, their medical institution, is now helping transition kids as young as three years old into different genders.
00:01:26.240 So that craziness continues.
00:01:28.780 We've got a good column by David Creighton, speaking of craziness on the Justin Trudeau COVID hysteria.
00:01:36.720 And we have the potential to have a doctor serial killer in Ontario, Corey.
00:01:43.320 A doctor is now being charged with three more murders, elderly patients at the hospital that he worked,
00:01:50.040 bringing the total number of charges that he's facing to four.
00:01:54.160 So that's interesting.
00:01:56.220 You remember the case of Dr. Harold Shipman in England a couple of years ago,
00:02:00.240 and he killed more than 200 of his patients.
00:02:04.800 So it's a very interesting crime story going there.
00:02:09.020 Lots of stuff coming up this afternoon and even starting to get ready for the weekend, Corey.
