Maritime Morning – Andrew Krystal

Never mind the fact I’m eating crow this morning over the Habs huge, huge victory. Congrats to Montreal fans. See you in round two. Now to the Morning Memo: I started the week lauding the Provincial government over their vision for NS energy future. I had Energy Minister Bill Estabrooks on to explain things. The [...]

During a trip to Rwanda last week Governor General Michel Jean “apologized” to that country for Canada’s not getting involved soon enough in order to thwart, or minimize, the Rwandan 1990s genocide. So, let me understand this: Rwanda, and other African nations, has wanted out from under the yoke of white colonial rule. And now [...]

Can you honestly look your kids in the face and tell them that there is a competitive future for them in Nova Scotia? For ambitious young people and their parents, that question is not so easily answered. Many, while hopeful, just don’t know for sure. With a Global world, that oyster that is opportunity has [...]

He said that his legal training made him a better Premier. Not only that, but he told me that being a practicing lawyer was beneficial to his constituents. And that is why you, the taxpayer, should pay for his Bar Association Fees to the tune of $3,500 per year. That practice was stopped due to [...]

You’ve met Michelle Lyon and Shayne Howe before. They are the mixed race couple from Hants County that had, a few months ago, someone burn a huge cross on their lawn and then run away yelling racial slurs. The “Mississippi Burning”-style incident which garnered national attention, saw one of two brothers, distant cousins to the [...]

“Brindi” the dog has been avoided as a story/topic by yours truly for its sheer inanity. There is simply more to worry about than a single dog. However, the animal has become a case in point regarding the caring priorities of some. I mentioned on the air that many people care more about animals than [...]

What took so long?         (morning memo script for Friday April 16th. 2010) “Canada’s Rosa Parks,” Viola Desmond, was finally apologized to by the Nova Scotia government; Kudos to the Dexter government who did what 60 years of Conservatives and Liberals didn’t do. I know how deeply Premier Dexter feels about this. Good for Premier Dexter. [...]

Even without pants, the song remains the same. PETA the animals rights activist organization has been on fur-wearer’s backsides and seal hunters throats like rabid dogs – but it’s all for a good cause they say. Some of the protests have been nasty. Now, they’re naughty/nasty: using sex and humor to see their message. Today, [...]

Today at 4:30 is the last chance you get to join the Liberals by going to www.liberal.ns.ca  and have a say in whether or not Stephen McNeil stays as leader. You get a ballot mailed to you. And then you send it back. Stephen McNeil is a supporting cast member of a really bad movie [...]

I have always believed that there was more to the Trevor Zinck story than meets the eye. He was kicked out of caucus for office expense “discrepancies,” yet Trevor Zinck never showed up in any report from the AG regarding misuse of public funds or inappropriate spending — unlike the Premier and people like MLA [...]
