00:00:00.000 We've got University of Ottawa professor Adiran. He's been in the news a fair amount in the last couple of years. He's got some interesting views, shall we say. He's did his best for international relations this weekend, Twitter shaming a United Airlines flight attendant.
00:00:20.040 And then to carry on, he Twitter shamed anybody that's ever worked at McDonald's, which is probably a huge chunk of the Canadian population. So he's doing his best to improve relations there.
00:00:32.860 We've got a Karen Selleck column on the George Jonas Freedom Awards that were given out last week to Tamara Litch in a ceremony in Toronto.
00:00:45.160 She was obviously claimed to fame as being one of the blockade organizers. 0.88
00:00:50.760 An interesting story from Scotiabank, one of the biggest banks in Canada, has written a report slamming Trudeau and his government's actions, basically saying they're making ordinary Canadians fight all this inflation on their backs.
00:01:06.740 And it's interesting that such a prominent bank would give the Liberals a negative review.
00:01:11.680 Courtesy of our social media guru, Rob, we've got a really cool video of a white grizzly bear spotted in Lake Louise.
00:01:22.480 So that's always cool.
00:01:25.080 And we've got a longtime blood donor in Scotland who has basically had enough.
00:01:30.280 He went and tried to donate blood and was asked whether or not he'd been pregnant in the last two years.
00:01:37.020 So he said, all right, that's enough of that and refused to donate.
00:01:42.640 Speaking of which, a story from our Arthur Greenup followed to the banning of transgendered athletes by the World Swimming Organization on the weekend.
00:01:54.000 We've heard from perhaps the most famous transgendered person in the world, Caitlyn Jenner, and she's all for it.
00:02:00.360 She says, good on the swimming people to ban transgendered because they get an unfair advantage. 1.00
00:02:07.320 Great. Well, thanks for the check-in and looking forward to seeing those stories as they break.
00:02:12.820 Thanks, Cork.
