About the Episode

Canada is on track to welcome around 900,000 international students this year. 900 thousand this year, says Immigration Minister Marc Miller – much more than at any point in Canada’s history – triple the number of students who entered the country a decade ago. The current Housing Minister – who was the immigration minister, Sean Fraser – says those numbers need to come down because we don’t have the housing to support that kind of inflow.

It was him definitely him, says Russia. The head of the so called Wagner Group of Russian mercenaries Yevgeny Prigozhin was among ten people killed a plane crash caused by the shoot down of the plane Prigozhin was in. The former mercenary plotted to overthrow Putin. That political plot was shot down only weeks ago.

Roman Baber is a candidate for the Poilievre Conservatives in the 905 Area Code burbs of TO. Baber is exploiting the death of Sheila Lewis in Alberta who was on the transplant list but took herself off the list when she would not do what all transplant candidates are required to do and be up to date on all vaccinations including those for Covid 19. That’s part of the transplant protocol to ensure that everyone who gets a living a organ gives themselves the best chance of living. Conservatives have embraced brain dead anti vax political serum and so Baber is blaming her death on today’s medical ethics. Polievere has endorsed Baber’s message. If the Conservatives had ethics candidates like Baber wouldn’t be running for and leaders like Poilievre wouldn’t be endorsing them.

Lou Diamond Phillips is a tremendous actor who played the part of Standing Bear in one of the best of those series that have been watched by millions who stream. The show was Longmire. Phillips will always be best known for La Bamba, a movie made 4 decades ago based on a song recorded by the late Richie Valenz. Lou Diamond Phillips lived on the same street as Bob Barker who died Saturday at the age of 99. I Was lucky enough to be Bob Barker’s neighbor for a while, said Phillips. Would often chat with him when he was walking his dogs. What a consummate gentleman and tireless advocate for animals. What an epic run you had, sir. Rest in Peace Legend.
