First up, Christopher and Tom talk about artists who have come back when many people had bet against them – from Tina Turner to The Rolling Stones to Miley Cyrus to The Chicks. In light of the recent Oasis reunion, we have some incredible clips of both Liam and Noel Gallagher from almost 25 years ago, years before their split and decades before their reunion. It’s a great, and often very funny, collection of comments and insight from the brothers. Plus, we talk to our good friend Bill Welychka, whose interviews with Liam and Noel are what we’re highlighting this week. And Bill has some great insights into the brothers. Speaking of brothers, The Kinks were fueled by the Davies brothers, Ray and Dave – and they, like the Gallaghers, created incredible music while also feuding bitterly with each other. This chat is from 1979, as the Kinks were promoting the Low Budget, which was somewhat of comeback for them. And Christopher is going to love what he has to say about songwriting. Then we feature a brief couple of clips with a woman who had two very different hits in the ‘70s. Yvonne Elliman was featured on the Jesus Christ Superstar album in the early ‘70s and then on the Saturday Night Fever album a few years later. The story of Yvonne’s big break is a great one… and she tells it well. We’ll also hear how she walked away from a deal that could have meant millions of dollars in the long run – and how she dealt with that. And we wrap up the show with Cool Song Facts… in which we find out what huge Stones song got the thumbs down by Mick and Keith… thank god they were outvoted. Famous Lost Words, hosted by Christopher Ward and Tom Jokic, is heard in more than 100 countries worldwide and on radio stations across Canada, including Newstalk 1010 Toronto, CJAD 800 Montreal, 580 CFRA Ottawa, AM 800 CKLW Windsor, 610 CKTB St Catharines, CFAX Victoria and 91x in Belleville.

Is Mark Carney’s honeymoon with voters coming to an end? Quebecers are seemingly not impressed with Mark Carney’s first budget. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre spoke to reporters yesterday for the first time since two MPs announced they were leaving his caucus. As it stands right now, there will be no bus or metro service this weekend. Doctors leaving for Ontario may not be getting the better lifestyle that was promised to them.

Premier François Legault’s support continues to tumble. New numbers released by Léger this morning show that 71 per cent of Quebecers are unsatisfied with the Premier. An architecture firm is proposing a new project for the Metropolitan Expressway. Lemay is proposing to add a level to the expressway in order to develop urban gardens, and acoustic screens. STM service is gradually resuming today after the public transit body’s maintenance union halted their strike. There’s no deal, but there is hope that negotiations can start back up. Who gets the credit for this development? Apple has released a $320 sock to carry your iPhone.

The Quebec government says it has no plans of backtracking from Bill 2 after the mass protest by the province’s doctors at the Bell Centre over the weekend. Premier François Legault presented his economic vision yesterday.

Elias Makos kicks the week off with Lionel Perez, Former city councilor and leader of the Official Opposition at Montreal City Hall, and Jimmy Zoubris, special advisor to the Mayor. More than 12 thousand doctors packed into the Bell Centre to denounce the Quebec government’s law overhauling physicians’ work and pay structures. As we enter the second week of a month-long maintenance worker strike at the STM, the Journal de Montreal’s investigation bureau decided to take a closer look at the STM’s current collective bargaining agreement. Months after being suspended from baseball, Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted on charges of taking bribes from sports bettors.

Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada has given a 10 day ultimatum for the STM and its maintenance workers to strike a deal There has been a record amount of complaints filed this year against STM bus drivers for being on their cellphones while driving Netflix and YouTube are not happy with the proposed Quebec law that would set their apps to French by default
Elias Makos welcomes back Dan Delmar, Co-founder of the content marketing firm TNKR Media and co-host of the podcast Inspiring Entrepreneurs Canada, and Anne Lagace-Dowson, political analyst. It was hyped as a “generational budget,” but did it live up to that hype? Prime Minister Mark Carney tabled his first ever budget yesterday. The budget cuts the luxury tax on yachts and private jets and boosts funding to the CBC while giving them a super-specific new goal: bringing Canada into the Eurovision contest. Is this what Canadians were asking for? The federal liberals are now one step closer to a majority while the federal Conservative are screaming treason towards a former party MP that has crossed the floor. The city of New York has a new mayor. NFL football legend Tom Brady says his new dog Junie is a clone. Would you you do the same?
Elias Makos is joined by Raphaël Melançon, political analyst for CTV Montreal and CJAD 800, columnist for the Montreal Gazette, and president and founder of Trafalgar Strategies, and Victor Henriquez, Public affairs and crisis management specialist at Public Strategy and Conseil. It is budget day for the Carney government, but could it also be the start of another federal election? Not even 24 hours after being elected the new mayor of Montreal, Soraya Martinez Ferrada may already be breaking one of her promises. The Premier of Manitoba Wab Kinew stirred up controversy yesterday after saying that child pornography offenders shouldn’t just be jailed, but buried underneath prisons. You soon could be eating cloned animal meat without even noticing.
Elias Makos kicks the week off with Jonathan Kalles, Vice President at McMillan Vantage, a national public affairs firm, and former advisor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Justine McIntyre, Strategic consultant and former city councillor. Soraya Martinez Ferrada is the new mayor of Montreal, defeating Projet Montreal’s Luc Rabouin by around eight percent at last count. Martinez Ferrada set herself some lofty goals during the campaign, including priorities for the first 100 days. What should she get done first as she attempts to quickly transform the city? The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that one-year mandatory minimum jail sentences for accessing or possessing child pornography is unconstitutional.
