  Speaker 3: How you doing.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I'm doing well. Good to you to join. Hi to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: people in Windsor. Let's start with this John, since since
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to you there at CKLWA and Windsor, you
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: must be so proud because Essex County is set to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: become the pickleball capital of Canada.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Heck, yes, we are. How awesome is this? I love
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: this story?
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: It is. You know, Windsor has been known for doing
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: things really big.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Windsor, Essex County has been We had the biggest bowling
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: alley in Canada for a number of years.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: It's the one that I grew up going to.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: And I just love this idea that we're going to
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: be opening up this giant complex with sixteen indoor and
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: ten outdoor pickleball courts.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I mean it talks to the growth of this sport.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that sport is growing at a greater rate and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I had anticipated. And plus they came up with the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: name of the Picklebar and it sounds like a restaurant,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: it really does.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: It reminds me of the pickle barrel from when I
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: used to travel down to North Carolina.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: With my Family's going up.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: It put some Muskolka chairs out front so people can
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: send their chairs before they go in to play pickleball,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and it'll be exactly like the pickle a restaurant you're
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: talking about. Meanwhile, on a much more serious front here,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Windsor Police have launched an online tool to report hate crimes.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I think they've been working on this for a while.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: How's it working out?
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's an important thing for us to have.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Windsor is one of our most ethnically diverse and culturally
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: diverse cities in the country, and the fact that we
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: had to launch this tool it means that, you know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: they're looking to streamline operations and to have it so
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: that people are able to just report it online when
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: they think that they've come across it, and then the
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: police are able to deal with it just as it's
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: coming in.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, it's not a good news.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Story though, the fact that there have been so many
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: of these type of complaints coming through the they had
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: to find a way to streamline this process.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: It speaks to you know, ongoing issues, I suppose.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: So they're getting a lot of calls, a lot of feedback, That's.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: What I've been hearing.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they launched this because they wanted to just make
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: it easier for members of the public to be able
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: to report both hate crimes and hate motivated incidents, and
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: they didn't want them, you know, clogging up the phone
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: lines for regular operators, because there are more serious, immediate
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: things that are occurring. So if people can go online,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: they can report it, they can include photographs, and then
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: the police are able to follow up based on that.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, look, hate crimes are serious, but I also
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: know and I could see where they want to have
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: their own section for this, because there are a lot
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: of people that misunderstand what a hate crime is. Because
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: somebody said something unpleasant to you, it's not a hate crime.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: It's just two human beings not getting along.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, there's the difference right between hate motivated
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: incidents and then hate crimes themselves. And as you said,
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: you know, just me being you know, not a nice
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: person and you know, calling you a bad name and
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: disagreeing with you doesn't necessarily reach the level of what
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: is actually a hate crime. And I think that's the
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: concern that the police have been having, is saying like, look,
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: our operators are dealing with things that quite frankly, they
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: shouldn't be dealing with, and it takes up time and resources,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: and there's got to be a better way.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm going towards something that happened in
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: my very early days when I started in talk radio
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: John and somebody called up and accused me of being
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a racist, and I said, well, what are you basing
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: that on? And I said, well, you don't like Al
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Sharpton And I said, no, I don't like El Sharpton.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: But it's not because he's black. It's because he's a
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: race hustling, poverty pimp who should be in jail as
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned. And if anybody wants to write
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to me and find out why I say that, then
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: they can go ahead. Otherwise, look him up and look
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: up Freddy's Fashion Mart and stuff like that, and you
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: won't like him either. Meanwhile, I'm going to make fun
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: of some parents here, John, and you can join in
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: mix a saga. Parents fear for their children's lives if
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: another flood hits during the school year. Oh my god,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: we had a flood at the school and kids are
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: going to die. Maybe I'm not aware of the statistics,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: but how many kids have been flooded to death in
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: our elementary schools in Ontario?
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Is the thing, right, I mean, so there was a
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: flood and the water levels did get pretty high, but
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: it happened during the summer, not during the school year.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: And we can sit here and pull our hair out
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: and light it on fire and scream about potentials that
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: could happen. There could be a tornado that takes out
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: the school. There could be another Hurricane Hazel that shows up,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: and just absolutely destroys everything. But is the likelihood that
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: that's going to happen. Probably not. I love the response
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: from the board administration, just being like, no, everything's fine, Like.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: We're good here, don't worry about it.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: We've got policies and procedures for evacuation. We're not like
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: just doing this for the first time here.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Well, and if the water stunts to run through the classroom,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: we'll call you and the kids can go home and
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: everything will be fine and we'll clean up. I opened
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: my show today John talking about and a Tobaco variety
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: store that couldn't wait for September fifth, and they started
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: selling alcohol related products, which after the fifth they would
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: be legally allowed to do. Oh, except that they also
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: added in whiskey, which they would never be allowed to do.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: They also apparently didn't buy that whiskey through the LCBO
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and the legal process. So whatever we think of what
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: laws should be regarding alcohol sales, they broke the law.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: They haven't decided for sure. There's an appeal process, but
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: this store could possibly lose its ability to sell alcohol
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: and lottery tickets for two weeks. I don't think that's
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a strong enough penalty.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Actually, no, I say take away their license, like take
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: the license away at least for like a period of
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: a year, but I would say a multi year period.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, come on, like when they were legalizing cannabis,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: I gave the benefit of the doubt to you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: employees who might not have known what they were doing
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: was illegal, if it was an illegal storefront that was
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: selling it before weed was made legal. But like we're
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: talking about alcohol here, there is no one in this
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: province who actually thinks that you're allowed to just sell boose.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Like It's just it blows me away that someone would
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: be so stupid that somebody would risk their licensing, that
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: would risk their livelihood, risk their business to what get
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: a couple extra weeks selling some two four US.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I get real, what a dumb move.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I said earlier, this is not going to
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: be an epidemic, first of all, because they will be
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: legally allowed to sell September fifth. But everybody else is
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: just saying, yeah, well wait till September fifth. We're not
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: stupid because they have This isn't like the pot shops
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: that popped up when they said we're going to legalize marijuana.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: It's not like the mushroom shops that are popping up
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: now anticipating a market for both the marijuana and the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: mushrooms that was their sole business. These variety stores, convenience stores,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: grocery stores that are going to sell new alcohol products.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: They already have a business and they don't want to
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: lose it.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I don't understand, what this one. It's
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: just it's so boneheaded.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Just wait the two three extra weeks depending on when
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: this all did occur, based on when we're hearing it
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I don't see the benefit to it.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, how much money could you have possibly brought
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: in in such a short period of time selling products
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: offline license?
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: And is it worth that risk? I don't think so.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: I've always said, don't go pissing off the regulators and
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: the people who can take your business away from you.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: But I guess in this case, a two weeks slap
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: on the hand that doesn't seem like it's the worst thing.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: All right, Now, maybe you can explain this. Winds Or
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: police used automated license plate recognition to recover a stolen vehicle.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't this a really cool one.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: We've got these new license plate recognition that's been used,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: and we had a police officer with it equipped and
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: was just traveling down a road and in Windsor and
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: was alerted to a stolen vehicle that was parked in
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: the nearby lot. They caught a backup, they showed up,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: they surrounded the vehicle, they arrested the four occupants of
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: the car.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Good news story.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Let's equip all of our police cars across the province
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: and you know, quite frankly the country with this technology.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: We've got an auto theft issue that's happening. And if
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: we can catch the cars before they get put into
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: containers and shipped off overseas, that seems like a win
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: win to me. Let's use tech to make our lives better,
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: to stop crime.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Sure, I'm looking at a picture here in the Windsor Star.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: This thing looks like Wally.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: It really does look like Wally, doesn't it coming up
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: on the top of the car.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: It's got those two big round eyes right there. But
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: it's great.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: We've got red light cameras that we've just put up
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: throughout the city as well, at various locations, and you.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Know, it's bringing in revenue. And I have no sympathy
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: for people who catch.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: A ticket going through a red light, or who text
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: in going I don't want this. It's just like big Brother, like,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: get real, you're advocating to break the law.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: You're not going to get sympathy out of.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Me for that.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: All right, We've been doing simulcast here of the iHeartRadio
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Network and cklw AM eight hundred. I'm Jerry Yegarky's John Lightikey,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and this is the iHeartRadio Talk Network
