This morning I joined the fun folks at CBC Radio for the always enlightening Unconventional Panel on the Eyeopener.   This week, I joined George Brookman and Shelley Youngblut as we talk about Jann Arden and the whole debacle with Via rail and her little dog Midi. I think probably the highlight for a lot people [...]
