North of Newfoundland 042

June 03, 2017

We start the show with a few quick topics like the new conservative leader, carbon tax,  Bruce Tilley not running for council, and a developer knocking down a building without asking. There’s a car auction happening and we wonder how cars just get abandoned. We hear some good news about oil, so the Newfoundland economy might improve for a while. If you’re strapped for cash, Corner Brook was giving out money in exchange for coffee cups, but we wonder if anybody exploited this. The dead whale in Outer Cove is still there and nobody knows what to do with it, although we have some ideas. We talk about the trendy new convention centre and wonder if it has burnt down, then get back to animals and how ridiculous it is that PETA wants to educate school kids on animal empathy because one student hurt a seagull, and then we talk about the baby moose that got euthanized. Knockout Kitchen chimes in with how much he loves seagulls, and shares a video of one eating a french fry. For “they’re f**king us” this week, we talk about how the reduced gas tax is a trick. There’s a big Canada 150 concert happening at Quidi Vidi and we look at the George Street Festival lineup as well. We finish by talking about a classifieds transaction gone wrong, telling about our own strange classifieds experience, and then a hazmat team investigating a mailbox.
