Is there anyone you’d love to see George interview? Is there someone you think would really put him through his paces? Or somebody that would make us all laugh till it hurts? If so let us know!
I’ll even start. Elton John, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Robert Duvall, Russell Crowe or Dennis Hopper.

Still waiting for PM Harper to step up to the plate! Some of my fellow Canadians saw fit to vote him in, so he owes his tax payers and his voters some of his un-choreographed time, dammit. Not coming to The Hour makes him look too controlled/managed (i.e. fake), slightly cowardly and definitely suspicious.
Other than that dream guest, more Canadian content please. Michael J. Fox is timely with stem cell research back in the news. More indie Canadian bands would be cool, then our host could cross it over to The Strombo Show as well. NxNE is coming up in the spring they could cover some of that. Sue Johanson is always relevant. There have been some CEO’s of American green companies, surely there are Canadian CEOs that are also green? Another interview with David Suzuki could tie in with the ongoing efforts on OMAoG. I personally would love for them to continue this initiative indefinitely and keep finding new ways to market that project and keep it fresh. Alas, so many guest ideas and only so many episodes, mes beautés.

I think it would be amazing to see George interview Dr Emmanuel Mignot from Stanford University’s Center for Narcolepsy. I would like to see someone in Canada talking about Sleep. Sleep you either love it or hate it. It is one of the most important things in our lives and yet sometimes it has such negative connotations behind it. If I was sitting in the audience of the Hour and started to nod off I am sure someone would see it as rude and disrespectful. Maybe I am just bored or maybe I have narcolepsy. Maybe George can shed some light on the Sleepy Canadians vs the Always Awake Canadians. What would be better to have insomnia or narcolepsy?
How will Yzerman beat the Russians (need a big smart goalie who knows his angles against impossible to react to snipers); will roster look different against Sweden and USA? Also state of mind after Salt Lake and 3rd Cup; why motivated to become the only athlete in any sport to return from that type of knee surgery.
Kournikova. There was a ripper who just came through Wpg with world’s biggest.
Geoff Fernie, anyone from Medonyx or here:

What federal support would aid product uptake and R+D?
Colbert had a guy with dreads in May who talked about nerf cars and skyhook public transit (a giant friggin floating octopus), but I detected engineering in his brief answers, not futurism.
Chomsky. Chretien. P.Martin. How to deprogram USA and program China. Everything about events leading up to his fateful Referendum speech. How much federal debt is sustainable and where would he have gone with Africa initiative (recognize African Union or not?).
I have no idea why Northern Europe enacted legislation enabling highest standard-of-living. Prolly like our healthcare, with perservering individuals; be nice to hear from those that know Scandinavian political history. Some countries have cheaper healthcare than us, how and why?
More rock alternative performances (music needs punk, a person with cuddle endorphins doesn’t need a radio). Hotz is hilarious. I only watch when a good guest.
I would like to see more Canadian air-time assigned to the TERRY FOX Run. It’s already September, the run is on the 13th anf one of my favourite aspects, National School Run Day, is on the 25th, yet there hasn’t been one single solitary segment on TV or radio to acknowledge what is entirely the most endearing heroic purely Canadian legacy that could ever represent us and define our international presence. What-the-hell more do you want from a hero before we give him proper recognition without paid endorsement! Stuff like how to enjoy March Break, St Patty’s Day amd the Santa Claus parade always gets a-l-l kinds of air-time, but Terry Fox, who? It has always been entirely offensive to me that young children are encouraged to idolize franchised sports personalities, by parents who are too damn stupid to know that these are multi-million $$ athletes who have been bought and paid for to generate profits for team owners and have manipulated the media to suck as much disposable fan income as possible. These are not only commonly flawed athletes-for-pay, but half of them on the Leafs, Argos, the Jays and the Raptors aren’t even Canadian! When my kids were younger I didn’t take them to church but I taught them the spirit of willful benevolence. I didn’t know who the captain of the Leafs was but I ALWAYS made them do the TERRY FOX run/walk.
P.S. … I would personally like to see more PARENTS volunteer to be present and participate in the TERRY FOX National School Run Day at their children’s school … a very strong important message with enduring hero association and a great way to bond with your kids.
