2 Guys 1 Rant

What's the latest,"you can't say that in a hockey game"?  The world's getting softer as Ben and Trent weigh in on a 5 game suspension handed down to an OHL player.  Trent recaps the AGM board meeting for our local women's shelter.  Heads up St Paul, the town has it's 2025 budget meeting coming up.  Ton's of local event and shout outs and The 2 Guys are hitting the broadcast booth at the Clancy to call Play by Play for the St. Paul Jr B Canadiens!  A show full of offensive words including the horribly offensive "M" word.

Is it worth the time, effort and money to move your kids to elite sports programs? Ben and Trent share their opinions on that.  Scot Cyr, great photos, not enough "doing what you were elected to do".  Some quick weigh ins on the US federal election, what's the chances Canada goes to the poles and community events and happy shout outs.  

Ben and Trent rebound after last episode's lack luster Rant.  Still not satisfied with the provincial Governments initiative to "improve" rural health care the guys take aim again at Photo Op Scot Cyr.  An online troll comment to the Elk Point Chamber of Commerce regarding the inaugural Elk Point 60km Ultra gets addressed by Ben before some shout outs and a quick recap of his experience in the Ironhorse Ultra 100.  Lot's of community events and love for our St. Paul Fire department. 

The "mail it in" Episode.  Ben's brain is mush and Trent has a stomach bug, but we soldier on.  Mental Health care is lacking in the public health system.  A couple of fender benders prove Ben right on a previous rant about service roads, and it's a big weekend in the Lakeland with the Annual Iron Horse Ultra 100 and the 1st Annual Elk Point 60km Ultra!

Ben and Trent discuss Jagmeet Singh's reaction to a heckler outside of parliament.  A revisit of the Casino issue brought up last episode and how our MLA could do better for us.  And a very disappointing response from a town councilor to a resident regarding the increase in water rates.  Lot's of local events and happy shout outs!

Ben and Trent put the focus on our local MLA, "Photo Op Scott Cyr" Too much fluff and not enough stuff on more serious concerns like having temporary ER closers throughout the Lakeland.  At the Federal level, will Jagmeet Singh's announcement that his party will no longer support the Liberal minority force an early election?  And a question to the Town of St Paul regarding the frequency of in camera sessions.  

Maybe a bit of a ramble rant as the boys offer their take on the 2024 Paris Olympics. Vandals almost prevent a community event from happening. Listener feed back wants to know if there's any updates for St Paul's feasibility study into a multi-plex.  And, Ben takes credit for the Town's decision to amend a controversial  Bylaw.

Get on Board with a board!  Ben and Trent discuss their disappointment with how a local board has been operating but also put out the call of the importance for more people to step up and join a board.  Also, what we think the right reasons are for joining a board.  If you're board, join a board!

Ben brought his Rant Hat!  Thanks to the response from the last episode, Ben and Trent bring to light some of the information they were lacking.  Opinion remains the same but at least with a better understanding and what they think needs to change so that people can be better informed.  It's a swear free episode too!

From parking lot sink holes to Ben's recommendation as to what municipal government can do with a hat of his choosing.  A bit of frustration boils over as Trent blind sides Ben with some knowledge.  Of course our esteemed MLA is racking up photo ops so we have a hat for him too.  A busy summer of events and the Lakeland mourns the loss of a great volunteer and mentor.
