What should happen to our current Ethics Commissioner? Do people want happy news or gritty, dark news? Should players that were on drugs while they weren't illegal be allowed into the Baseball Hall of Fame?
The Prime Minister violated ethics laws that he has sworn to live by. The catch is that those very laws that were broken will have no fine or penalty of any kind put on the Prime Minister! After a two year investigation by the Ethics Commissioner. The current Ethics Commissioner, Mary Dawson, has pardoned 95% of past people who have been investigated for breaking ethics laws even if they've clearly broken them. What should happen to our current Ethics Commissioner before she is replaced?\n\nGuest: Duff Conacher, Co-founder of Democracy Watch-If you had a survey about what kind of news people want to be hearing, the biggest response would be that people want happy, feel-good news. The number are saying something else. People are saying they want one thing but are all reading news about the polar opposite, why is that?\n\nGuest: Paul Berton, Editor-in-Chief at The Hamilton Spectator-Despite an overwhelming response of people saying that they want news that makes you feel happy but every study and number has shown that is simply not true. People seem to love the gritty side of their city and the news that goes along with it. Do you like the idea of all positive news, all the time or is crime and the darker side of news more your speed?-Even though there weren't any rules against performance enhancing drugs in baseball at the time that most of the nominees for this year playd, the ethical issue of whether or not a player on performance enhancing drugs during a time they weren't banned should be allowed into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Should an athlete that doped while it wasn't illegal still be allowed into the Hall of Fame?\n\nGuest: Bubba O'Neil, Sports Anchor at CHCH
