The gun debate is dominating the news headlines again today, we have a column from David Creighton on how Trudeau is shamelessly exploiting the gun tragedy in Texas and it's not going to do anything about crime in Canada, and a story about a 15-year-old boy in Toronto who was arrested facing multiple charges and there were guns involved in the incident. We also have a piece written by a fellow called Corey Morgan talking about health care spending and it doesn't matter how much money you throw at the problem, it won't fix the broken system. And a column up by Linda Slobodian on the problems with the cash questions and when you can use cash to buy UCP leadership or become a member of the party to vote for the leadership. And speaking of that, we are moments away from having Travis Taves, the current finance minister, announce his bid for leadership.
00:00:00.000Big story this morning that had all the women in the newsroom squealing and apparently your wife, too, that Kevin Costner is coming to town.
00:00:09.060He's been named the Grand Marshal of the Calgary Stampede Parade on July 8th.
00:00:15.820He's obviously one of the biggest stars in the world right now with Yellowstone and he's got some fairly good movies under his belt.
00:00:22.720So get on the stampede to try and get more back and focused on modern day life.
00:00:28.480The gun debate is dominating the news headlines again today, Corey.
00:00:33.540We've got a column from David Creighton just on how Trudeau is shamelessly exploiting the gun tragedy down in Texas and it's not really going to do anything about crime in Canada.
00:00:45.940And right next to that, we've got a story about a 15-year-old boy in Toronto.
00:00:50.220He was arrested facing multiple charges and there was handguns involved there.
00:01:00.500We've got a column written by a fellow called Corey Morgan talking about health care spending and it doesn't matter how much money you throw at the problem, it's not going to fix the broken system.
00:01:11.160We've got a column up by our Linda Slobodian on the problems with the cash questions and when you can use cash to buy UCP leadership or become a member of the party to vote for the UCP leadership.
00:01:27.500And speaking of that, we're moments away from having Travis Taves, the current finance minister, announce his bid for the leadership.
00:01:37.360Apparently he resigned as finance minister this morning.
00:01:40.320He's going to be having a press conference in about 20 minutes in Grand Prairie and that'll lead to a cabinet shuffle later on this afternoon.
00:01:48.820I'm thinking because somebody's going to have to replace Travis Taves as finance minister.
00:01:54.420And the money seems to be on Tyler Shandro, who's a close confidant of Jason Kenney.
00:02:01.480So lots of political intrigue coming up this afternoon, Corey.
