00:00:00.000 There's big news in the mountain town of Canmore. A group has proposed a bylaw that
00:00:05.160 all doors have to be closed on Main Street because they're emitting too much CO2 and other greenhouse
00:00:12.540 gas emissions. So a bylaw has come up that all doors will have to be closed between September
00:00:18.840 and June unless the temperature hits 15 Celsius. So that's a little bit of small town politics
00:00:26.560 going on there. We've got a story up on an idiotic driver who yesterday, sorry on Tuesday, went 1.00
00:00:33.940 through the Stoney Trail construction project 85 kilometers over the posted 50 kilometer 1.00
00:00:40.240 speed limit. There were construction workers on hand at the time and there's also a police
00:00:46.720 car on hand at the time. So they've charged that lead foot criminally and he's going to
00:00:51.580 have to go to court now. We've got our Dave Makachuk filing a column from Paris where he was on your
00:00:59.200 show yesterday. He's attending the world's biggest arm show and had to deal with a bit of a pickpocket
00:01:05.660 drama too. So that's a good little read that's up there. And Canada's Attorney General Lamedi says
00:01:16.080 he's pretty confident that when it gets to the Supreme Court, they're going to rule that vaccine
00:01:21.020 mandates were all legal. So we'll see how that goes. Coming up, we've got a story from our Amanda
00:01:28.840 Brown that, you know, all those federal workers that got laid off because they refused to be vaccinated.
00:01:36.280 If they were hoping for any back pay, no, it's not coming. No back pay for them. So we'll have a story
00:01:41.220 on that. And our finance minister, Chrystia Freeland is making a major economic address today or this
00:01:49.040 afternoon in Toronto, dealing with interest rates, cost of living soaring and what the liberal plan
00:01:55.260 is to try and combat it, Corey. So our Matthew Horwood will be on that and it will be interesting
00:02:03.480 to see if they have a plan, Corey. I don't hold out a lot of hope these days.
00:02:08.220 No, I read somewhere that they're going to try and battle inflation with even more inflation. So I was
00:02:16.240 happily filling up my little Honda this week, set a record 82 bucks. So yeah, it's everything's going
00:02:22.860 great out there.
