  • The Drag Queen Debate - It's Your Call Dec 19, 2022

    It's my daily hunt for common ground, and this topic, for some reason, seems to divide us more often than it should, in my opinion.


    Drag Queens in the same room as kids.

    Another protest this past weekend, this time in Brockville ON.

    You calls and comments today may actually have moved the needle for people on both sides!   I hope you'll have a listen.

    We're live at 2pm ET on www.BlastTheRadio.com and streaming on Facebook, Youtube, Twitch and Twitter.

  • $80 To Sit On Santa's Lap? I Know Strippers Who Charge Less

    Today I found out that some malls are charging as much as $80.00 for your kids to see Santa.  


    While I understand the expenses involved, and, as a photographer myself, I don't begrudge anyone taking Santa photos an opportunity to make money, is a visit to Santa not a "loss leader" for the mall?  

    How in the world can a family who are down on their luck afford that?     

    Also... Why is there an option to visit the Grinch?  And just what the hell is a Spooky Santa?  I'm upset.   What about you?   It's Your Call...

    Another celebrity suicide... More people asking "what did he have to be depressed about" which is another reminder that far too many still don't get it.

And what changes you'd like to see happen in our health care system as it pertains to mental health.

  • Do You Care Where Public Service Employees Work From? It's Your Call Dec 13, 2022

    The rumour is out there... That public service workers may be told to return to the office, at least for part of the week.


    PSAC says their members should have the right to work from home and this is now part of contract negotiations.

    Today, I wanted to find out from you... Beyond the obvious front line workers (passport office etc) do you care if public service employees are in an office or at home?

  • Food Prices To Continue Rising - It's Your Call Dec. 5, 2022

    Canada’s Food Price report says the average family of four will be paying more than $16,000 for food in 2023.     A single woman in her 40’s will spend $3,740 while a single male in his 40’s will spend $4,168.

    20% of Canadians say they will require assistance from food banks in the new year.

    This is madness.   What are YOU cutting back on in order to keep food the table?

  • A Damning LRT Report. Now What? It's Your Call Dec 1, 2022

    We were lied to, an unsafe, untested and unread LRT system was launched, the mayor knew, the city manager knew, the builder knew and select councilors knew.   Others were intentionally kept out of the loop.


    Mark Sutcliffe ran on a promise to get this resolved.    Do you think he can?   Where do we go from here?

    We talk for an hour on this edition of It's Your Call

  • The Right To Protest - It's Your Call Nov 30, 2022

    When is a protest no longer a protest?


    We ask this today in light of our PM saying he believes Chinese citizens should have the right to protest, while many in Canada feel that the right to protest was taken away when he invoked the Emergency Measures Act.

    It's my search for common ground... And it's your call.

  • Are You OK With Spending $58.75M / Year For The Monarchy?

    An access to information report from CTV reveals that Canadians spend an average of $54.75 Million per year for the monarchy.


    Their report also details the expenses we, the taxpayers, incurred for this summers visit of, then, Prince Charles and Camilla… It’s $1 million more than their last visit in 2017.


    At the end of the day, the cost to each Canadian to maintain the monarchy in Canada, including the Governor General, is $1.55


    Is that worth it to you?    It’s your call!
