Should Mayor Jyoti Gondek have told a little white lie to get out of Calgary's annual menorah lighting at City Hall? How many more university presidents need to resign across the United States? Have climate change doomsday prophets lost the room? 

3:50 | Charles Adler gives us a healthy dose of Canadian Common Sense - the language around climate change (7:20), Mayor Gondek's menorah lighting snub (28:30), UPenn president's resignation (39:45), Indian interference in Canada (38:40), and carbon tax = inflation (49:40). 

1:07:40 | We love it when a lottery win goes to the person who needs it more than anybody else. That's the case in this week's Positive Reflections presented by Kuby Renewable Energy.
