Talked about when the calvary might be back. Was told 10 days for everybody. Talked about the 4th line and what Rutherford thinks about it. If you look at it, three guys with low salaries working their ass off. Motte is one of the guys who makes that line tick. Talked about Rachel Doerrie. The team has known about her as awhile.

Talked about his tweet addressing his dismissal from CSE. Talked about he got started with the club. Was working with VANOC. Got to know the organization from their work with the building agreement.

This week, Calgarians were asked if they wanted to host the 2026 Winter Olympic and Paraolympic Games. 56.4% said “no.” But why? On this week's episode of the Global News podcast This Is Why, producer's John O'Dowd and Niki Reitmayer explore the growing, international disinterest in hosting the Olympic Games. (throw to montage audio) The “yes” side rallied around hope. They were optimistic that the Olympics could help bring prosperity back to a city that is still struggling economically. Rob Breakenridge is a host at Global News Radio 770 CHQR in Calgary.John Furlong - former president and CEO of VANOC and chair of Own the Podium. He said that Calgary's rejection should serve as a wake-up call to the IOC if they hope to restore the Olympic's former glory... Furlong also spoke about how the IOC must work to address the concerns from the public.
