Speaker 5: in the studio. Two luminaries, Greg La May Darcy Reno.
0:37
Speaker 5: Thank you both for joining me. Darcy, I'm gonna bring
0:39
Speaker 5: your voice in first on this one, as it is
0:43
Speaker 5: I think most appropriate to have you respond. I agree
0:46
Speaker 5: to the conversation about childless cat ladies. Why is this
0:52
Speaker 5: a conversation that we're having, Well, the VP nominee for
0:58
Speaker 5: Donald Trump, former President of the United States, it's recent
1:01
Speaker 5: assassination survivor.
1:03
Speaker 1: I suppose.
1:04
Speaker 3: Uh.
1:06
Speaker 5: I don't know how you go and describe Donald Trump
1:08
Speaker 5: other than just grabbing the things that happened in the
1:09
Speaker 5: past couple of weeks.
1:10
Speaker 1: He's constantly just you know, changing divorced.
1:15
Speaker 4: But I guess that.
1:19
Speaker 5: Corn stars, billionaire, tax fraudjeat well, revered by many, like
1:26
Speaker 5: there's so many citizens.
1:28
Speaker 4: But we're going after single We're going after all the
1:32
Speaker 4: single ladies were going after I don't know why you
1:35
Speaker 4: would want to go and upset Beyonce seems like a
1:36
Speaker 4: really stupid idea.
1:37
Speaker 1: Frankly, Taylor Swift is Taylor Swift.
1:41
Speaker 5: Jennifer Aniston actually came out and said to jd Vance, like,
1:45
Speaker 5: come on, I hope to God that your child never
1:48
Speaker 5: has to deal with issues regarding fertility, because it's terrible
1:52
Speaker 5: and you feel like you aren't a whole and you
1:56
Speaker 5: want to be able to you know, people have that
1:58
Speaker 5: intention to have a kid.
1:59
Speaker 1: It's it hurts.
2:01
Speaker 5: Jade Vance looked at the former star of Friends. I
2:05
Speaker 5: saw her described as Taylor Swift for white women over forty,
2:11
Speaker 5: which is also still went quite frankly, but yeah, I
2:14
Speaker 5: mean Jade Vance was like, sure, yeah, let's double down
2:17
Speaker 5: on this attack against her and called her disgusting, and
2:21
Speaker 5: he said like, it's creepy that you would even be
2:24
Speaker 5: talking about my daughter having kids. And it's like, yeah,
2:27
Speaker 5: Jenniferannis is not going after like the pedophile angle here.
2:30
Speaker 5: She was literally saying, as someone who dealt with fertility
2:33
Speaker 5: issues herself, I hope that this isn't something that ever
2:37
Speaker 5: affects you and your family.
2:38
Speaker 1: He took it the other way, Darcy, this is just
2:41
Speaker 1: so gross.
2:42
Speaker 4: I know I have a lot to say, So I'm
2:44
Speaker 4: trying to get my thoughts together here. So I did
2:46
Speaker 4: go back in the history of where this whole cat
2:49
Speaker 4: lady thing came from, and that apparently originated back in
2:53
Speaker 4: the medieval times related to witches and cats, okay, and
2:59
Speaker 4: basically was just a way to keep down or ostracize
3:05
Speaker 4: any woman who wasn't sort of falling in line with,
3:08
Speaker 4: you know, the way things are supposed to be, who
3:10
Speaker 4: was sort of off independently doing her own things.
3:13
Speaker 5: So provides the companionship that you should have a man
3:17
Speaker 5: to do to be part of society kind of thing.
3:19
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know.
3:20
Speaker 4: I don't even I don't quite know where the cat
3:22
Speaker 4: park came from, but it was just a way of
3:25
Speaker 4: making women feel bad. And I guess often they had
3:28
Speaker 4: cats and they were cats were always tied to witchcraft,
3:31
Speaker 4: and you know what we did women who considered witches. Yeah,
3:35
Speaker 4: So I guess they're trying to use that still now.
3:38
Speaker 4: But I love what's happening in response. So the jokes
3:42
Speaker 4: on JD vance a because women are finding out through
3:47
Speaker 4: uh spreading stories on the online and information that longitude
3:51
Speaker 4: longitudinal studies actually show that childless unmarried women are the
3:58
Speaker 4: happiest subset of the population, and God forbid, women start
4:01
Speaker 4: finding that out because they definitely are going to fall
4:04
Speaker 4: in life with the Republicans' idea of how things should be.
4:09
Speaker 4: But the backlash I'm just loving. I don't know if
4:11
Speaker 4: you've been on TikTok and watching this. We've got cat
4:15
Speaker 4: ladies for Kamala.
4:17
Speaker 3: We've got women, but doesn't she have not they're not
4:23
Speaker 3: kids herself, but they're kids that her husband has.
4:27
Speaker 4: She does, Yeah, she does, she's a step parent. I
4:29
Speaker 4: think it's irrelevant though. I mean, I just think the
4:33
Speaker 4: more they dig into this, the better it is for
4:35
Speaker 4: Democrats because women are coming out in full force, and
4:39
Speaker 4: the Republicans need women to vote for them in order
4:42
Speaker 4: to win the election, and the more jad Vance talks,
4:46
Speaker 4: the less likely that becomes. So I love it. We've
4:49
Speaker 4: got women coming out all over the place doing tiktoks
4:53
Speaker 4: with their cats, showing how happy they really are. Because
4:56
Speaker 4: his comment was that they're miserable, and so they're making
4:59
Speaker 4: the country mis because they're miserable and didn't like their choices.
5:04
Speaker 1: But they're showing how happy they are.
5:06
Speaker 4: Happy people, and evidence proves it.
5:08
Speaker 3: What would be the difference between a crazy cat lady
5:11
Speaker 3: and a normal cat lady.
5:13
Speaker 5: I think it's just the cat lady. I don't know
5:15
Speaker 5: if it's crazy or not. I think it's just it's
5:16
Speaker 5: the childless point is because a.
5:19
Speaker 4: Single so they're unmarried. Really essentially, they're just not falling
5:23
Speaker 4: in line with the patriarchy and people don't like it,
5:27
Speaker 4: so they're going to do everything. They kind of stop
5:29
Speaker 4: women from doing that because we need them to reproduce,
5:32
Speaker 4: we need them to do the laundry, we need them
5:34
Speaker 4: to keep house so the guys can go out and
5:36
Speaker 4: stay in power.
5:37
Speaker 3: JD.
5:38
Speaker 4: Vans needs his wife to do those time. I'm going
5:40
Speaker 4: to be bold here, but you know he needs he
5:43
Speaker 4: needs that. He has kids who's at home taking care
5:45
Speaker 4: of them and doing all this stuff, so he should
5:47
Speaker 4: be VP.
5:48
Speaker 5: So he did back track a little bit from the comments,
5:52
Speaker 5: and he did apologize to an extent, and he said, look,
5:57
Speaker 5: everyone's taking this way out of contact here.
6:00
Speaker 1: Okay, I love cats, I love dogs.
6:03
Speaker 5: That's not the point that I was making, to which
6:06
Speaker 5: I went, you're apologizing to the cats like that wasn't.
6:14
Speaker 4: The part that women said everyone it was.
6:17
Speaker 5: It was the focus on the you know, women, that
6:20
Speaker 5: was the issue, not the cats.
6:23
Speaker 4: Well, he did go on to say that he was
6:25
Speaker 4: really saying that the Democrats are becoming anti family and.
6:30
Speaker 3: I you know, what do you call a forty year
6:33
Speaker 3: old very single dad. That's me.
6:36
Speaker 1: I don't know what would.
6:37
Speaker 3: You call that, like in terms of do you have
6:41
Speaker 3: a cat?
6:42
Speaker 1: No, that's the problem.
6:44
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe I need a family of cats or something.
6:47
Speaker 1: And it's a fair point. I mean, there is definitely
6:49
Speaker 1: a double standard.
6:50
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, I'm single. I'm a single dad. I don't know,
6:54
Speaker 3: like I work all the time, but.
6:56
Speaker 4: Never married, parentless, I mean, I've never been married. Are
7:00
Speaker 4: are you know? Swinging bachelors and it's fun and look
7:05
Speaker 4: at how awesome that is. They're totally different. We're spinsters
7:09
Speaker 4: and crazy with cats.
7:11
Speaker 1: It's like you couldn't.
7:12
Speaker 5: Again, I'm speaking through this conversation that is not my
7:15
Speaker 5: views that the perception is like you couldn't or haven't
7:19
Speaker 5: been willing to do the thing that's required to made
7:24
Speaker 5: up to become part of the nuclear family and do
7:28
Speaker 5: your role. Whereas the male single four year old Greg
7:33
Speaker 5: in this case, Hey, you're just having fun. You're just
7:36
Speaker 5: out there man, You're swinging, You're doing it.
7:37
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't mean to suggest your sorry.
7:41
Speaker 5: I mean though, like it's like you're just it's it's
7:43
Speaker 5: a perception of being loose versus being rigid.
7:45
Speaker 3: I suppose, Yeah, for sure, there was one. I had
7:48
Speaker 3: looked up something today. There was there was one lady
7:52
Speaker 3: that basically said, listen, I love my cats. The cats
7:55
Speaker 3: are loyal, the cats are there, the cats don't fight
7:58
Speaker 3: with me, the cats don't leave when you know, things
8:01
Speaker 3: get rough. I just kind of was like looking at
8:02
Speaker 3: her kind of angle on it too. So I don't know,
8:05
Speaker 3: it's interesting.
8:07
Speaker 4: I've got a lot of proud cat lady friends. They're single,
8:12
Speaker 4: their love and life.
8:14
Speaker 3: Do they have one or do they have like forty five.
8:17
Speaker 3: There was one lady I saw on my Facebook the
8:19
Speaker 3: other day. She said something about I'm trying to feed
8:21
Speaker 3: my like two hundred cats. I don't know. This is
8:24
Speaker 3: a house and I guess in Windsors or something in
8:26
Speaker 3: the county.
8:26
Speaker 1: She's got like two hundred cats. That's too many.
8:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you. I'm going to what.
8:33
Speaker 4: The TikTok videos I've seen are really well dressed, looks
8:37
Speaker 4: like well educated women with really cute cats who like
8:41
Speaker 4: their love in life.
8:42
Speaker 1: That's all the matters.
8:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, listen, none of us want to see a situation
8:47
Speaker 5: like happened at I think what the five six hundred
8:50
Speaker 5: At a couple of years ago, there was the story
8:52
Speaker 5: about all the dead cats.
8:54
Speaker 1: In the apartment. Oh, they were frozen in the freezer.
8:57
Speaker 5: I think it was like literally like two hundred in
8:59
Speaker 5: the case too or something.
9:01
Speaker 1: It was an obscene amount.
9:02
Speaker 5: So I think that was a man though, So you
9:04
Speaker 5: can't call him a crazy childless cat man.
9:07
Speaker 4: You've probably never heard that term, right.
9:09
Speaker 1: No, never once.
9:11
Speaker 5: I think I just made that up, crazy childless cat man. Yeah,
9:14
Speaker 5: that's it's rare that you get to put a sentence
9:17
Speaker 5: out into the universe that has never existed before. Hey,
9:21
Speaker 5: we got one text coming in criticizing us. Always fun
9:24
Speaker 5: when it comes from one of our electeds. I won't
9:26
Speaker 5: say who it is, so just okay. Save Actually I've
9:29
Speaker 5: had a phone call from one elected official and I've
9:31
Speaker 5: received a text message for another one.
9:33
Speaker 1: So oh, we've upset. We've made twenty of our counselors.
9:39
Speaker 5: One person said, awful, awful takes around the table on
9:43
Speaker 5: the Sister City program. Aside from Darcy's point on humanitarian
9:47
Speaker 5: relief which was ignored and should have been expanded upon.
9:50
Speaker 5: You have institutional structures in place to promote the diversity
9:53
Speaker 5: of the community, which we celebrate regularly. A public art
9:56
Speaker 5: display acknowledging that legacy mocked publicly on air.
9:59
Speaker 1: Wow, I just.
10:01
Speaker 5: Think it was too tall. I just think it should
10:04
Speaker 5: have been ten feet, not twenty five feet. No one's
10:06
Speaker 5: mocking the point of like having it like that's great.
10:09
Speaker 5: We were questioning, like, how are these cities determined one?
10:13
Speaker 3: And how come we don't go there?
10:14
Speaker 1: Why aren't we getting to go there? We just want,
10:16
Speaker 1: you know, a nice.
10:17
Speaker 4: Little John and Craig want a trip.
10:19
Speaker 1: I wanted, I said, all three of us did.
10:22
Speaker 5: Bring Producer Will too, quite frankly, well, Will shaking his No,
10:30
Speaker 5: I don't want to go on a vacation. Producer Will
10:32
Speaker 5: is letting me know. Maybe it's be it's the it's
10:35
Speaker 5: the vacation with me right. Well, there's the nod he agrees. Okay, Well, anyways,
10:40
Speaker 5: apologies to our elected officials. Any elected official is always
10:43
Speaker 5: able to call in five one, nine, seven nine two
10:45
Speaker 5: c KLW, we will drop the show that we're doing
10:49
Speaker 5: to get some radio drama. That is always a John
10:52
Speaker 5: Letkey guarantee and promise nine. We're going to break right
10:55
Speaker 5: now when we come back on this side, I hope
10:57
Speaker 5: yelled at anymore by elected officials.
10:59
Speaker 1: We're going to keep this round going. And it's you know,
11:08
Speaker 1: you can't even do it.
11:11
Speaker 5: Hey, we're back John Letkey here on AM eight hundred
11:14
Speaker 5: CKLW ninety nine right now having a fun time with
11:18
Speaker 5: our round table. You know we've got this new I
11:23
Speaker 5: suppose government crackdown on grossers and the question is do
11:28
Speaker 5: you think prices will go down? My concern is anytime
11:32
Speaker 5: that the government shows up and tells companies that you
11:35
Speaker 5: have to go doing something that affects their bottom line,
11:37
Speaker 5: they're going to just find a way to increase their prices.
11:40
Speaker 5: On another end, it'd be like you, Greg, I mean
11:41
Speaker 5: like you do floor stuff, right If the government came
11:43
Speaker 5: in and said, oh yeah, all floors, cleanings or replacement
11:46
Speaker 5: whatever have to be fifty bucks, and you go, yeah, no,
11:50
Speaker 5: it cost like three grand, four grand, five round, whatever
11:52
Speaker 5: the number is, You're going to find a way to
11:54
Speaker 5: tack a service charge on to make up for that
11:56
Speaker 5: lost revenue because it costs a certain amount of money
11:59
Speaker 5: to do the thing. It's nice when government shows up
12:01
Speaker 5: and wants to put a dollar amount to it or whatever.
12:05
Speaker 5: But that's not how things necessarily work in the real world.
12:08
Speaker 5: Do you think that the government interfering at all when
12:11
Speaker 5: it comes to our groceries is gonna make things cheaper?
12:13
Speaker 3: No, I think it's just gonna cause more problems. I'm
12:17
Speaker 3: just kind of curious that the Western thing with the bread.
12:20
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw that, the price fixing. Yeah,
12:21
Speaker 3: the price fixing. So it's five hundred million payout. I
12:24
Speaker 3: believe it was that he has to pay back how
12:26
Speaker 3: much they make. That's what I mean. It's probably billions
12:30
Speaker 3: and billions and billions off it, right, So I don't
12:33
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't. I don't think this, uh,
12:34
Speaker 3: this is gonna change much. If anything, it's gonna it
12:37
Speaker 3: might it might even have a reverse effect on it.
12:40
Speaker 3: Groceries are obviously through the roof. And again I don't
12:43
Speaker 3: know if I think, like I said, this is you know,
12:49
Speaker 3: it's it's it's it's tough times for people, and you know,
12:52
Speaker 3: obviously this is just corporate greed, just with the way
12:54
Speaker 3: that their their money, their inflation, their money that's come in,
12:59
Speaker 3: the money that they they're making. I don't think they're
13:02
Speaker 3: going to turn around and say, hey, we're going to
13:04
Speaker 3: lower prices on anything. So I guess it'll be interesting
13:07
Speaker 3: to see what happens from this, But I think there's
13:10
Speaker 3: going to be backlash.
13:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta agree with you on that one. How
13:14
Speaker 1: about yourself, Darcy.
13:16
Speaker 4: So it sounds like they are planning to put a
13:18
Speaker 4: little bit of more money into investigations as to whether
13:22
Speaker 4: they're increasing prices beyond what's warranted by inflation, because I'm
13:27
Speaker 4: sure it is true that the price of inputs has
13:30
Speaker 4: gone up. Therefore they've had to increase the price or
13:35
Speaker 4: shrinkflation lower the amount of product that they put into
13:40
Speaker 4: whatever box you're buying, so that they can make up
13:44
Speaker 4: for the increase in price of what they're using to supply.
13:48
Speaker 4: But I think that this money is going to go
13:52
Speaker 4: towards and maybe scare them a little bit that the
13:54
Speaker 4: government's gonna find out and then we're going to be
13:56
Speaker 4: transparent and we're going to talk about how you're raising
13:59
Speaker 4: prices on what's warranted in order to make a bigger profit.
14:04
Speaker 4: I think the other thing that would probably help, And
14:06
Speaker 4: I don't know if scaring them in that way, like,
14:08
Speaker 4: we're going to find you out and we're going to
14:10
Speaker 4: tell the public that you are blaming inflation for increasing
14:14
Speaker 4: prices and it's not warranted. Is going to work or
14:18
Speaker 4: potentially lower prices maybe, or the fear of, you know,
14:21
Speaker 4: the government finding out that your price fixing potentially will
14:25
Speaker 4: stop you before you actually do it, or get you
14:28
Speaker 4: to stop doing it. The other thing though, that would
14:30
Speaker 4: really help, I think, is more competition, because I think
14:33
Speaker 4: there's not enough competition in the grocery market in Canada
14:37
Speaker 4: and for years, oh well, we've heard that, you know,
14:40
Speaker 4: the federal ministers have been trying to court other grocery
14:44
Speaker 4: trains to come over. And I would myself personally, would
14:48
Speaker 4: love to see Trader Joe's more in the Canadian market.
14:51
Speaker 4: I go over to the US rarely now but once
14:53
Speaker 4: in a while because I love that store and the
14:55
Speaker 4: prices are great. So more competition would help with this, right,
14:59
Speaker 4: I think that's probably one of the solutions.
15:02
Speaker 3: But we'll see what happened until they all sit down
15:05
Speaker 3: together and up their prices again.
15:07
Speaker 1: Bring back Farmer Jack had the best theme song in
15:11
Speaker 1: the world.
15:12
Speaker 4: Was that that's a grocery store.
15:13
Speaker 1: It's always savings. Time at Farmer Jack.
15:18
Speaker 3: I don't fact, does anyone ever go to Aldi in
15:21
Speaker 3: the States.
15:22
Speaker 1: No, they don't have a good theme song.
15:23
Speaker 3: No they don't. But they've got some good prices on
15:26
Speaker 3: a lot of things. But they don't carry everything.
15:27
Speaker 4: That is one of the ones that's been brought up
15:30
Speaker 4: as a potential chain that could come to Canada could
15:34
Speaker 4: be core. One of the issues is that a lot
15:36
Speaker 4: of these grocery stores with the with the owners of
15:39
Speaker 4: the buildings that they rent or that they've least, have
15:42
Speaker 4: agreements that no other grocery store is allowed within a
15:45
Speaker 4: certain distance.
15:46
Speaker 5: I've heard that I won't say the name of the
15:49
Speaker 5: chain so as to keep us in safe places here
15:53
Speaker 5: and not bringing in legal affairs.
15:54
Speaker 1: So I suppose from Bell Media, which.
15:56
Speaker 5: I never want to ever meet, thank you very much.
15:58
Speaker 5: I'm sure they're lovely people, though disclosure Fully, I have
16:01
Speaker 5: heard that there is one of our large grossers that
16:04
Speaker 5: owns the plazas, and in the plazas where a Dollarama exists,
16:10
Speaker 5: they include in their lease that dollar Ama is not
16:12
Speaker 5: allowed to sell bread because Dollarama sells the same bread
16:17
Speaker 5: at a buck and at three bucks in the store.
16:20
Speaker 5: They don't allow that. They don't like it. I will also,
16:23
Speaker 5: just before we cap this off here we saw the
16:27
Speaker 5: price fixing and lab laws and five hundred million dollars
16:30
Speaker 5: four hundred million dollars fine for them as a result,
16:33
Speaker 5: a bit different than how things are done.
16:35
Speaker 1: In the States.
16:37
Speaker 5: A CEO and president of Bumblebee Foods was sentenced in
16:42
Speaker 5: twenty and twenty to serve forty months in prison and
16:48
Speaker 5: one hundred thousand dollars personally as the result. So in
16:53
Speaker 5: Canada we go for a much higher fine that the
16:56
Speaker 5: company has to pay. In the US they take the
17:00
Speaker 5: face of the company and throw him in jail and
17:03
Speaker 5: then give him a six figure fine as well.
17:06
Speaker 1: So lock him up, lock him up.
17:09
Speaker 3: Let's roll away the key. We know how far you
17:11
Speaker 3: can actually throw the key?
17:12
Speaker 4: Yeah?
17:12
Speaker 1: How far can you?
17:13
Speaker 5: Well, especially if they own the plaza, right, they can
17:15
Speaker 5: just go ask an employee to go pick it up.
17:17
Speaker 1: Nine fifty five.
17:18
Speaker 5: We are just about done, but it's time for our
17:20
Speaker 5: plugged in segment with our illustrious round table. Let's go
17:25
Speaker 5: to you Darcy first. What needs to be plugged in?
17:28
Speaker 5: Shout it out? Is it same shameless self promotion? Is
17:30
Speaker 5: it something deserving in the community that's how I always
17:33
Speaker 5: put the spotlight on it.
17:34
Speaker 4: It is so I this weekend went to a new
17:38
Speaker 4: restaurant in Windsor that was opened up by chef Ryan
17:42
Speaker 4: O'Dette so and his wife Tina. Everybody knows they used
17:45
Speaker 4: to own Smoking Spice and then they owned Mamo Burger
17:48
Speaker 4: and then owned Georgia Ray's. This new restaurant is called
17:52
Speaker 4: PDR and it's attached a it's in a small private
17:56
Speaker 4: dining room. That's what PDR stands for, attached to Mamo Burger.
18:00
Speaker 4: And I just think it's so important to support really
18:04
Speaker 4: talented people in our community, and people that cook our
18:08
Speaker 4: food are no exception. And this restaurant, the people I
18:12
Speaker 4: went with, every person at the table, we loved every
18:16
Speaker 4: single thing that came out of that kitchen. It was
18:18
Speaker 4: like our artistry on a plate. So if you feel
18:23
Speaker 4: like going out to dinner, I want to check it out,
18:25
Speaker 4: just give Mama Burger a call. You can make a
18:27
Speaker 4: reservation and go the other open I think Wednesday to Saturday.
18:31
Speaker 4: You will not be disappointed. It is amazing.
18:35
Speaker 3: What did you have?
18:36
Speaker 4: I had at this homemade flatbread with whipped marscapone that
18:42
Speaker 4: had like a chilly honey on it I had. I
18:46
Speaker 4: had the best bib salad. So the bib lettuce, I
18:49
Speaker 4: think of it as like Boston lettuce. I don't know
18:50
Speaker 4: if they're the same thing. And it had grapes on it. Okay,
18:53
Speaker 4: normally me salad grapes, No, thank you. It was the
18:57
Speaker 4: best salad that I've ever had.
18:58
Speaker 1: Wow.
18:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had this tomato heirloom tomatoes just sliced with
19:03
Speaker 4: like a whipped tofu underneath it. Like we're talking innovative
19:08
Speaker 4: stuff that you would never think to make at home.
19:10
Speaker 4: And that's why I like to go out to eat,
19:11
Speaker 4: to get stuff that I'm never going to make at home,
19:14
Speaker 4: that I will never buy the ingredients to make and
19:16
Speaker 4: never have the idea frankly to make or the talent.
19:20
Speaker 4: That's why I like to go out to dinner. So
19:22
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, amazing.
19:24
Speaker 1: That sounds really good.
19:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ryan. Ryan was actually telling me about that last
19:29
Speaker 3: week when I run into him, just about his new
19:32
Speaker 3: restaurant and food, and it sounds all sounds great.
19:34
Speaker 4: It is.
19:35
Speaker 1: How about yourself, Greg, what needs to be shouted out just.
19:38
Speaker 3: A little bit different? You know, we had two deaths
19:41
Speaker 3: in the community, well three really in the last you know,
19:45
Speaker 3: a week or so from the Windsor spitfires. Bob Jones,
19:49
Speaker 3: I just want to acknowledge that obviously had a huge
19:52
Speaker 3: advocate with als and Dorinolette, who's my grandmother's sister. She
19:58
Speaker 3: was a past counselor and Dekempcy, she ran for the Liberals.
20:02
Speaker 3: Her funeral I went actually yesterday. And on top of that,
20:07
Speaker 3: obviously Constable Nigel ram Sharon from Windsor Police Services passed away,
20:12
Speaker 3: uh at the beginning of the week. So I just
20:14
Speaker 3: don't acknowledge those three and uh you know uh beer
20:18
Speaker 3: Beer hosts five one nine there in uh in Decompcy,
20:21
Speaker 3: they had undersigned this morning I noticed and I had
20:23
Speaker 3: posted that they had knowledge uh you know, dorio Lette
20:27
Speaker 3: and Bob Jones on their signs. So thank you for that.
20:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, you know.
20:32
Speaker 5: It's I think we could do a better job in
20:35
Speaker 5: our community remembering and recognizing those who are no longer
20:39
Speaker 5: with us and who have contributed so much to our communities,
20:43
Speaker 5: and it's easy to forget that, like when you lose
20:47
Speaker 5: those people, the ones who really.
20:49
Speaker 1: Did so much. And for me, what comes to mind
20:51
Speaker 1: is Mark Buscario.
20:53
Speaker 2: Reno posted something recently did and it was just his
20:57
Speaker 2: his death day a few day days ago last week,
21:01
Speaker 2: and it's amazing how as the years go by, you know,
21:04
Speaker 2: their presence still remains in our minds.
21:07
Speaker 5: Sometimes the presences disappear in terms of the physical locations
21:11
Speaker 5: that we see, the businesses that people made.
21:13
Speaker 1: But you also sometimes get to a point.
21:16
Speaker 5: Where it's like you forget the impact that someone had
21:19
Speaker 5: because they were just so connected that when that vacuum
21:24
Speaker 5: opens up, it doesn't get filled, and that just becomes
21:27
Speaker 5: the new normal. I guess this is all to say
21:29
Speaker 5: that we could probably all do a little bit more
21:31
Speaker 5: stepping up and trying to contribute and give back to
21:34
Speaker 5: the community that I think all of us love so much.
21:37
Speaker 5: So hey, thank you for that, Greg Darcy. I want
21:39
Speaker 5: to thank you so much, and again to our city
21:42
Speaker 5: councilors who have reached out to me to criticize us
21:47
Speaker 5: and let us know that you're not happy with how
21:49
Speaker 5: the conversation went.
21:50
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I will try to live up to your
21:53
Speaker 1: expectations better the next time. But I also think if
21:57
Speaker 1: you're going to go putting up a sign, don't make
21:58
Speaker 1: it twenty five feet, make it ten feet.
22:01
Speaker 5: It's all about the gram. We want the photo for
22:05
Speaker 5: the Socials nine pin fifty nine. We've got a break
22:07
Speaker 5: right now.
22:07
Speaker 1: I went late. Thank you so much, Darcy Reno, Greg
