While their crew (and ours) worked seamlessly to integrate a radio show into a television feature, the ability to take listeners' calls from around the country adds a good bit to pre-election debate.
And, by the way, it takes only one of these shows every couple of years to re-affirm my respect for television performers. Sheesh. Now I know, besides the face for radio part, why I like what I do!
On matters political, our News Talk 650/980 CKOM/CJME provincial poll is out this morning. To no one's surprise it shows (a) a Tory lead and (b) the opposition to the Conservatives coalescing around the NDP. Look for at least a couple of existing Conservative seats to be in play on election night.

McCallum said the government is overstating the risks because many experts expect the Canadian economy to grow by up to 2.5 per cent this year, which would leave room for spending and tax initiatives.
10 months ago, the Liberals were saying that the PM was overstating the risks to the economy. Seems that Dion and company are Johnny come lately's to this important issue.
