Are things less important in the east end? Could there be a "fitness pill" in our future? Do your loved ones love you more than this Florida man? Should the CFL void contracts of players with charges but no convictions?
While nobody would argue that\xa0the ongoing\xa0support of Locke Street is a good thing, questions still remain about why this event has resonated with people while similar acts of vandalism and\xa0urban terrorism across the city\xa0haven't. Coun. Sam Merulla mentioned again at council today that if it happens in the east end, it just isn't as important. Question is, why?\n\nGuest: Sam Merulla, Ward 4 Councillor-Is it possible that we could someday get our exercise in a pill? Why yes, yes it is. At least, researchers in California (including our guest who is involved in the project)\xa0say we're getting close to that. Someday maybe soon, a pill will be able to\xa0have the same effect on our system as a hard workout. Which is either the greatest thing ever or the height of laziness.\n\nGuests: Dr. Michael Downes & Dr. Weiwei Fan, Staff Scientists at Salk Institute's Gene Expression Laboratory-Our loved ones are called exactly that because we love them. When they are in danger, we get worried but this doesn't seem like it's the case when a woman almost swung onto a 9ft. alligator in Florida. The man behind the camera didn't seem alarmed by this. Would your\xa0loved ones be as nonchalant as he was?-For the second or third or fourth time, the CFL has voided the contract of a player charged -- not convicted, but charged -- with a crime. While the allegations may be ugly, is this the right way to do business or should a conviction be required before a person's livelihood can be taken away? Also on a much lighter note, the Arizona Diamondbacks are bringing back the 1970s-era bullpen golf cart to bring relievers into the game. Could this be more awesome?\n\nGuest: Bubba O'Neil, Sports Anchor at CHCH
