b"The Wynne Liberals tried something new with how our kids should be taught and it's not only confused the kids who are supposed to learn math, it's confused everyone else too! Clearly this method isn't working, could switching back to the 'old way' of teaching math be the answer we've been looking for?\\n\\nGuest: Dr. Robert Craigen, Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Manitoba-With a new provincial election on the horizon, editorial cartoonists and artists are starting to get excited. There are some... quirky... people running for office each with their own flaws that cartoonists love to interpret for everyone in comedic ways. They're some of the few that can knock politicians down a peg or two, so what are The Spec's editorial cartoonist's thoughts on this upcoming election?\\n\\nGuest: Graeme MacKay, Editorial Cartoonist at The Hamilton Spectator-There is a world full of unique and wonderful people. Most of them lead quite normal lives but there's a few that just take things to another level. Scott poses his producer, Ben, with three stories about three different (extra emphasis on 'different') individuals in unusual situations that he must choose from to be crowned Ben's Story of the Day. Which one would you choose as your story of the day?-Scott is joined by Don Robertson of the Dundas Real McCoys to talk about bulletin board material, athletes bashing other athletes and teams. Does it make sense or could it be counter-intuitive?\\n\\nGuest: Don Robertson, Owner and Operator of the Dundas Real McCoys and Broker of Record at Com/Choice Realty"
