Listen to more commentary from Murray Wood:
Mon., May 11: Murray Wood says a plan to ban smoking in the UK reminds him of an old parody piece in National Lampoon. He says truth is stranger than fiction, but it’s odd how often fiction becomes truth.
Fri., May 8: Every Friday, Murray Wood takes a look back at the week’s news and decides who’s hot… and who’s not. This week’s list includes Rider rookie camp and Mark Carney talking about a “new world order.”
Thurs., May 7: Louise Arbour brings much more than French skills to her role as the king’s representative, but she also has taken controversial stands. Murray Wood wonders if it’s time for more “we” than “oui” in Rideau Hall.
Wed., May 6: Murray Wood notes that while we have seen years with “perfect” weather in the province, they aren’t that common. And this year is definitely not one of them.
Tues., May 5: Murray Wood says May 5 is an important date that not many recognize. The day marks the anniversary of the surrender of the 25th German Army to Canada in 1945, a fight which cost many lives.
