Kenney, Fildebrandt, yeah, totally get it. It has traditionally been a training ground for conservatives. I think the fact that CTF gets cited less and less is indicative of how people have tuned out the talking heads of wannabe politicians.

The new AB director, Kris Sims, is on another level though. I have yet to see her say anything about the Turkish Tylenol controversy, tries holding the opposition to account more than government, and talks in sound bites. She also “special guest hosts” for Juno “News.” Take that as you may.

There was a time when I could have good conversations with Scott Hennig when he was AB director. Seems to me he had a big hand in some of the big PC scandals in Alberta. But in my journalism days, I stopped talking to Franco after I realized he only talked in sound bites.

I actually don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want this. If the UCP believed there was no wrong-doing (or it was all on AHS), why not clear your names?

Hey Mike - Great shows all season long. Here's a question that I don't think has been asked yet: how integral has David Popkins been to this lineup? From the resurgence of Springer & Kirk to the strong performances of role players like Lukes, Barger & Clement, there's a calmness they all exude.
