Radio Topics, September 12
As always, I am on air from 7-9am on tuesday mornings. Those in the Ottawa area can catch us live on 93.1fm. All the rest can listen live on the internet at www.ckcufm.com.
Tuition, redux!
As promised last week, we'll spend a bit of time talking a little bit about tuition and the university life in the first hour. Good starts to the discussion would be a look at Statscan's look at tuition numbers (h/t to JennB). CFS always has something to say, and for different perspective it is always worth skimming what Paul Wells has blogged on the matter. Do your own googling.
9/11, 5 years later.
Here's a bit on the official memorials. Apparently the US now remembers the help Canada gave that day. The re-writing of history is already underway. Has Canada's thoughts to the US changed? More importantly, are we safer?
9/11 and blogs
The only thing more ubiquitous than the phrase "in the post 9/11 environment" in the post 9/11 environment is blogs. Wired takes the chance to look at their rise.
Piracy
Wired also starts a look at the folks behind The Pirate Bay, a bittorrent site, and their legal struggles.
Bye-Bye Ralph Klein
But, beyond a massive surplus and looming environmental catastrophe, is he also leaving Alberta with a little less democracy?
Bye-Bye Tony Blair
Well, in a few months. They continue their British version of the Chretien-Martin feud, and the Guardian takes a look.
The Pope
Apparently has decided to start throwing stones in glass houses.
The LCBO
May start charging deposits on bottles, but not actually taking bottles back. (Previously posted here.)
Larry O'Brian
Has sent the first volley in his campaign out. Some thoughts:
Afghanistan
The NDP want us out, but the Tanks want in.
Campaigning Cabinet Ministers
Is it right for Ontario Cabinet Ministers to be on the hustings in a by-election? In other news, this is what John Tory is going to use to get in the news?
News of the Odd:

Larry O'Brian
Has sent the first volley in his campaign out. Some thoughts:
1) Chiarelli/Ottawa Police have been encouraging youth crime?
2) I know that it is the needle exchange program that has been driving people to shoot junk into their veins.
2a) Does this mean that he is pro-AIDS and pro-little kids stepping on needles in Dundonald Park?
3) Why wouldn't police already be using all their legal options to make streets safer?
4) As I asked earlier, since there isn't actually a significant crime problem in Ottawa, does he saying that there is make people feel unsafe?

News of the Odd:
- It is now illegal to take too many free newspapers in California.
- Let the bells of Freedom ring; Afghanistan is now producing Coke. (the canned kind).
