How can we afford this new budget? Should Afro-Canadians be tried like Indigenous defendants? Which story will be crowned Ben's Story of the Day? Is too much importance placed on the CFL combine?

b"You may love the Liberals' budget presented today or you may hate it. There's certainly lots in there to chew on. We're going to deal with only one question this evening, though. Namely, how in the world can we possibly pay for this? Even if we need all these things, where will the money come from?\\n\\nGuest:\\xa0Christine Van Geyn, Ontario Director of the Canadian Taxpayers' Federation-A legal team in Toronto is arguing that their Afro-Canadian client charged with a violent crime should receive special consideration in sentencing because he's black. We already have this enshrined in the Criminal Code for Indigenous defendants. Should it be expanded to include other racial groups?\\n\\nGuest: Peter Boushy,\\xa0past President of the Hamilton Criminal Lawyers' Association-A decision of epic proportions is being made today. Scott's producer, Ben, has three stories in front of him but only one can be crowned Ben's Story of the Day. Will it be the man with a huge order that destroys a McDonalds, the man who faked his death to get out of a bet with a twist or the lady who discovered her food didn't upset her stomach... something sillier actually did?-Mac's all-time leading receiver was the star of the CFL combine on the weekend and surely enhanced his draft status. Question though: If you've had four years to watch film on a guy and scout him in games, how much should one 40-yard dash time or vertical leap really matter? And what difference does it make how he answers a question about what type of doughnut he'd be?\\n\\nGuest: Dan Petermann, McMaster Marauders Receiver"
