The Leafs play in Jersey tonight so that will be the main focus, but we'll touch on some other things like the Argo's quest for first place and the huge NFL game this weekend between Indianapolis and New England. We had a few laughs yesterday. I found out that Bill once slept at Bobby Orr's condo, and that Bill loves his steak medium rare at Bigliardis. Medium rare with mushrooms. Please listen if you can - 4pm - 6:30 - am 640 Toronto Radio.

A buck-five dollar and cross border prices were too much for them to resist this close to Christmas so they loaded up the car and head for Cheektowaga with the intention of staying there for 48 hours. Forty-eight hours gives you an exemption of four hundred dollars and in Buffalo, using the loonie that goes a long way in biting into your Christmas list. As they left part of me felt a little guilty thinking of them driving past so many Canadian malls on their way to a foreign country, but it was quickly wiped away as I thought about something I wrote a couple of weeks ago. It's the era of bottom line baby. It's why so many companies don't think twice about laying people off these days. It's why so many companies give the two people the job of three now-a-days. It's why full time people are reduced to part-time people so corporations can avoid paying benefits. Its bottom line baby and it should apply to all including the Patterson family. We sat down and did the math, much like highly paid executives would and we determined that spending four hundred dollars in Buffalo would be better for our bottom line than buying the same amount of merchandise in Canada. It may sound cold and calculated and fly in the face of being a good Canadian, but we've been conditioned over the past few years by those who run our economy. Bottom line. That's all that matters.

I'll love hosting this show. It's great to work with Bill, it's fantastic to sit in the old MOJO studio's and it's exhilerating to walk the halls and see so many people that I consider family from all those fabulous years at the Edge. Please listen if you can. Call in if you can. Category: Radio
Thank You Sir November 1, 2007 @ 09:46
Colton is four, which is prime time for trick or treaters. Yesterday at about 6:15 the first kids came to my door and it was two little kids about five and six with their mother. Turns out they were the only "kids" who came to my door. After that there were some ten and eleven years olds, but for the most part most of the kids I serviced last night were big kids, really big kids. I know they're growing them bigger these days but I had trouble connecting these kids to age and size. When I was young fella the cutoff for Halloween was grade eight. It was tough to take but that's just the way it was. Last night I had many kids who came to the door who were taller than me and had deeper voices than me, if these people were 13 and under, then maybe we should take a long hard look at additives and what's the water because something just ain't right. I will say one thing however; all the kids that came to my door last night were extremely polite. The words "thank you sir" never sounded so good. Category: Stuff
Party Time November 1, 2007 @ 09:45
If it tells us anything it tells us how hard it is to break party lines, especially Liberal lines, regardless of the issue. Bingo Bob nailed it when he wrote, "only in Canada would people complain about a tax cut, it's insane." Right you are Bob but when it comes to the anti-Conservative movement in Canada there's no explaining anything. In possession of a bizarre attitude that maintains they have a god given right to govern, Liberals refuse to give an inch on anything when it comes to Conservative policy. On the flip side, I'm sure if the situation had been reversed and the Liberals had slashed a point off the GST it would have been widely accepted by Conservatives. Most Liberals would disagree but I truly believe it. It's amazing who people can take something like a tax cut and proceed to write a comment on how it's no good and doesn't serve any purpose and deeper income tax cuts would have been a better option. But you can bet your ass if the Harper Conservatives had dramatically slashed income taxes on Tuesday, the same people would be crying about the disadvantaged and the poor and how the Conservatives only care about the rich. It really is nauseating but more than anything else it's sad. It's sad because it means we could be robbed of good government over the next few years. The Liberals had a good run. Thirteen years of no competition, scandal and back-tracking on the very issue that got them elected in 1993, the GST. But for some reason liberals refuse to give an inch, and as many of the comments from yesterday's posting reveal, they insist on resorting to the predictable scare tactics that are quickly growing tired. Stephen Harper has a hidden agenda. He's in bed with George Bush and he doesn't care about the environment. Meanwhile, all he does is run a good, steady and sensible government. Category: Politics

Just a reminder I'll be hosting the Bill Watters Show again today on am 640 Toronto radio between 4pm and 6:30.
My house was full of women last night and this morning. My wife and a few of her friends got together for an evening of food and laughs and then got up this morning and headed for Buffalo.
Just a reminder I'll be returning to host the Bill Watters Show on am 640 Toronto Radio between 4pm and 7pm today and Friday.
This is Dan Duran's son Colton. He also belongs to his mom Jackie and last night he went out for Halloween as a spy, although I'm sure I didn't have to tell you because it's obvious.
Great response to yesterday's posting, "
