When did Tonya Harding move to Toronto and which station is her show on?

Is there something in the water Toronto morning show hosts are drinking? Yet another one is recovering after surgery, the third one in the last few months. 

This time it's morning drive talker Greg Brady, who is off the air on AM640 for a bit recovering from knee surgery. Ben Mulroney has temporarily taken his place. (Whether than means he won't be available for the station's weekend morning show remains to be seen.)

Jerry Agar also had knee surgery a few weeks ago, but was back before a mic within two weeks.

And Alex Pierson appears to have returned fulltime, despite the discomfort of recovering from hip replacement surgery, which she complains is not being made easier by the Ontario care health system. 

Hopefully, they're all back to full health soon and dancing the Charleston. If they ever could...

As long as he doesn't drone on about it when he gets back.  I like Pierson's show, but before, during, and after the hip replacement, she spent far too much time talking about it.
 

"Alex Pierson gets hip" reminds me of a headline that supposedly made it in the Times of London in the 1980s for an article on Labour Party leader Michael Foot chairing a committee on disarmament: "Foot Heads Arms Body"

I actually saw with my own eyes a Globe and Mail article on farmers appealing for assistance from then-Saskatchewan Premier Grant Devine: "Farmers Seek Devine Intervention"

And don't get me started on former New Brunswick Premier Bernard Lord.

Ontario Provincial Election in May 1987...  After a riding realignment, two sitting MPPs end up going head to head to represent their respective parties in the election. Ian Scott for the Ontario Liberals against Susan Fish for the Ontario Conservatives... after the ballots were cast and counted, Ian Scott won the new riding handily.

The next morning, the front page of the Toronto Sun had a hilarious headline, complete with a classic Donato  cartoon...

"Scott guts Fish"
 

Probably the most infamous newspaper headline of all time came from the New York Post in 1983. It has since become something of an icon among headline writers. It was a story about a decapitated murder victim discovered in a strip club. And the banner in bold letters on the Post's front page read:



Inappropriate? Maybe. But boy, it sold a lot of papers that day.
