Long Time No See!

I'm back to post links for stories that I talk about on the show. Hope you enjoyed today's with the better part of the 1st hour devoted to Jack Layton, a man who will be missed and may be irreplacable so far as the NDP are concerned.

Here's the moving tribute and eulogy that Stephen Lewis gave for Mr. Layton on Saturday:

Here's the farewell letter that Jack Layton wrote and christie blatchford's reprehensible response to it. If you can explain why she would do this, other than a bizarre form of demented partisanship, I sure would like to hear your theory.

Stephen Harper has a sense of humour (really!) and actually used the words climate change in the same sentence while visiting Canada's north. Those are both good signs. Also, Environment Canada’s plans to shut down most of the federal water monitoring stations in the Northwest Territories have been reversed.

That's all for now. I'll be back later in the day to post links to the international stories I talked about.
