This week we welcome former ATV and CBC journalist and consumer advocate, Yvonne Colbert. Yvonne was married to former News 95.7 host Rick Howe, and brings a wealth of knowledge to questions of media coverage of major events. She discusses the demise of Rogers radio stations, and also how Rick Howe would have covered this week's story out Chelsea, Nova Scotia, where the RCMP issued and then cancelled an emergency alert, but then revealed that they actually only shot the suspect 12 hours later.Paul and Adam also discussed the Chelsea situation, which has many of the same features as the 2020 NS mass shooting, and shows how the RCMP have not learned the right lessons from the Mass Casualty Commission.Also covered this week;Paul has inside detail about the video circulating about the man in Costco spouting offensive racial comments.Child pornography and sexual assault charges were dropped against a former Fredericton auxiliary, and Kenzington, PEI officer, with no explanation from the prosecutor as to why.
