Lilley gives Marc Patrone good competition for smarm and smugness.

The sad state of Canadian talk radio in one sentence.

"News"

Syrett gives a platform to a lot of dangerous far right personalities, even white nationalists, which is surprising given his background.

We need people to aggressively debunk them since it seems little can be done to stop them legally.
I have noticed that in the U-S law enforcement is finally catching up to them for a change.
Recently eight people who call themselves first amendment auditors were arrested and face a slew of charges in California for using their U-S first amendment to harass and terrorize public employees police and even private citizens all because they get money from putting their scam videos on Youtube.
Likewise so-called "sovereign citizens " in the U-S are getting tougher treatment for peddling their weird conspiracies and beliefs..
The weirdness is even travelling into Canada where things like the Ottawa truck convoy was fuelled by far right wing and white supremacy nutcases.
when Convoy organizer Tamara Leach had her bail hearing in Ottawa a year or so ago her husband from Alberta testified that she was only trying to protect our "first amendment rights!!!"
The judge threw her hands up in frustration.




 

Ben Mulroney makes a statement outside his area of expertise (what the Kardashians are up to, who wore what on the red carpet), and has been trending on Twitter all day. Many accusing him of being fascist and racist.

To be honest, he intimated more than came out and directly said anything in the small portion of his show that I heard. And the implied conclusion was that the "elites" and the "billionaires" don't want to share paradise. He definitely did use the sentence, "they want it all to themselves." 

And it wasn't really hate. It was just nonsensical, completely unprovable garbage. I'm not sure if that's against the rules. But it sure doesn't help his reputation or the station's very much. (I suppose that's why they run a disclaimer at the top of every hour of his show noting the following opinions aren't those of Sauga960.)

Some of his guests are well travelled in white nationalist circles. 

There's smug blowhards like Patrone and Carrasco, but the worst is Richard Serrit. All the same phony "experts" plus well known white nationalists.

I believe he was told to go, but the story seems sketchy. Implausible.

I don’t know what you call it, but it should have .8% alcohol to reflect their 25-54 numbers.

I can't imagine the ratings are very hot. It's just a boring show.

Corus’ legendary innovation strikes again. Normally it’s the victims who get a big payout.

I’m Agaraphobic.

Going to be some Corus execs having an anxious long weekend in Muskoka.

1050 PD adds 1010 to his duties and hires 1050 personality. Not the most out of the box hire.

Forget Agar, Towhey, Oakley and the rest. Despite what some here think, they're fairly mainstream. 

If you really want to hear extreme right-wing radio in Canada, you'll have to tune in Sauga960 between 1 and 3 PM weekdays. Marc Patrone is a huge booster of Donald Trump, insists the last U.S. presidential election was "stolen" and thinks it was wrong to disperse the "freedom fighters" in Ottawa. He also brings on guests like Randy Hillier and others who are, to be charitable, somewhat beyond the fringe. 

Have you listened 4-6?
