Since watching the interview with Heather Reisman and reading the article/comments here at The Red Chair, my curiosity regarding HESEG has been peaked. I had never heard of the organisation before reading about it here. This had me wondering a few things. Why my favourite host/program would not touch upon what seemed to be a [...]
Read all about it! The Hour misses the mark with Reisman
Heather Reisman; president and CEO of Indigo/Chapters
shes rich, shes powerful, she supports literacy…
40% of Canadian adults are functionally illiterate! Thats crazy. She’s helping to bring this to the government’s attention. However, why we would need a bookstore owner to bring this to the government’s attention says a lot about our government.
The Hour did a fantastic [...]
One Million Acts of Green
This is brilliant. Kudos to The Hour for stepping it up. As George and David Suzuki said in their conversation today, its not about being perfect its about taking steps toward being more green. So go for it, make a decision, register it on the site and prove that people can affect change.
Here is the [...]
Suzanne Somers
Did she actually say that she and her husband inject themselves with growth hormones on a daily basis? Really? I imagine that a lot of the hormone/health problems that exist are from the injection of growth hormones into food (Refer to Monsanto’s injection of growth hormones in cows for their milk products, which was found [...]
Bill C-10 – McVety on The Hour
From the Wednesday March 26th, 2008 Episode
Charles McVety’s arguments in favour of Bill C-10 were mind blowing – and not in a good way. He seemed to have a script and was sticking to it no matter what, essentially spewing rhetoric and dancing around George’s questions and observations. Who determines what is ‘grossly obscene’ content? [...]
The Cost of Canadian Oil and a Canadian Rock Star
Episode aired 080312
The Cold Opener was a silly and cute one shot in the UK. George was the fox in a reformed version of the hunt. Beagles chased him. I love beagles. My first dog was half beagle. Cannot resist them. Afterwards there was some more humour on the Eliot Spitzer situation (a little insight [...]
Home & Garden – Sorta
First up was Michael Pollan author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma and his latest book In Defense of Food. I was eagerly anticipating this interview. I am a bit of a foodie – especially real food. Sure, I enjoy the processed stuff from time to time, but on a day-to-day basis I aim to lessen the [...]
War and Sex.
I don’t have too much to say about tonight’s show.
Chris Hunter
The first interview with Chris Hunter was interesting mostly because my knowledge of war is lacking. My only real comment on the interview was the incredible phrase that i had never heard before, “operational theatre.” So creative, such a great euphemism. yes, i am being sarcastic.
Ryan Phillippe [...]
Elizabeth May, Michael Buble and Radiohead
First, I have to say that todays show was awesome. George’s intro off the top of the show was hilarious, watch it online while its still up.
Elizabeth May
Great conversation. I thought it was interesting how she was expressing that she would pick Dion over Harper in an election, just reinforcing the “voting strategies” in this country that tend [...]

Lee Thomas: Trying to put yourself into his position is a hard task. Anything you have gone through in your life, may compare on some level, but chances are, they do not [...]
