On the show this morning, we spoke with MP Ken Boshcoff, the Thunder Bay Liberal who penned a piece last week on his party's proposed Green Shift carbon tax. 

Boshcoff, in an internet article, had written that the Green Shift would "transfer wealth from rich to poor, from the oilpatch to the rest of the country and from the coffers of big business to the pockets of low income Canadians".  He also called the carbon tax "the most aggressive anti-poverty program in 40 years".

A few months ago CTV announced -- for many fans of TV's Corner Gas -- the unthinkable:  the hit Canadian sitcom was wrapping up production and would come to an end after 6 successful seasons.

One of our listeners, Burk Reiman, told us about his recent escapades as one of three parachutists who landed at Mosaic Stadium during the Riders first home game of the year on June 19th. 

Burk appeared on the show with me this morning to talk about parachuting and doing the things we've always dreamed of.  You can see his Mosaic Stadium jump by going to the Rider's site
