Live with Kelly and Ben Mulroney in Barf, Alberta!


Breaking News.
Live with Kelly will be visiting the lovely Banff, Alberta to do a series of shows the first week of April.
Today, the show announced that Ben Mulroney will be sharing the stage, as co-anchor with Kelly Ripa.
I'm thinking the town should change its name to Barf, Alberta.
Did nobody tell Gelman that everyone in the country, with the exception of the Mulroney family and the suits at CTV, hates Ben Mulroney?
He's the reason that Canadian Idol was cancelled.
Canadian Idol was a good show but it was ruined by Ben Mulroney.
And John Dore.
People don't hate Benny because he's Lyin' Brian's son. Canadians hate him in his own right.
Aside from his creepy Vlad the Impaler looks, Ben is smarmy, oily and creepy. And he's a lawyer.
I don't know why CTV keeps putting him forward like some sort of cub from the Lion King. We can't escape him. He's on ETalk, he's always on Canada AM, he even hosts Canada's red carpet.
Americans think we like him, but we have no say.
That's why I watch Ryan Seacrest.
Maybe they should do a poll. Or a focus group.
I've been dreading the Summer Olympics because there Ben will be in his little track suit, picked out by Mila, with his $300 hair cut complete with frosting.
I like to support my local broadcaster but I find myself switching the station every time I hear Benro's nasally tones.
I'm thinking I'm not alone here.
So why on Earth would the producers of Kelly think we want to see him on an American show? Didn't do your research, Gelman.
Shoulda got Rick Hansen.
Thanks to Benny, I won't be watching Live with Kelly! while I'm on the elliptical at the gym.
Hoping the time shifting is working so I can find Dr. Oz.

What Bell isn't telling you about Fibe TV

Update: This week, we switched back to Rogers after spending far too long using Bell's crappy television service. For those with Bell, read and weep. For those considering Bell, think twice even if you hate Rogers. RS I've always been an early technology adapter. I had a Betamax. That tells you everything (if you're over 50 at least). My first computer was a "Portable". It weighed 40 pounds and I had to lug it around town on a gurney. I've been through probably 15 computers in my lifetime. Apple is the best. It's also too expensive so I have a piece of shit HP, the one I'm writing this blog on. I've had cable, internet and now Netflix. American Netflix . That's how far ahead of the curve I am. I get all the newspapers for free. How? I disabled my cookies so they can't track me when I'm on the newspaper sites. Even the New York Times hasn't cottoned on to that trick. Hahaha. That will be a fifty buck consulting fee. Bein...

Ashley Simpson: Please sign this petition to help her family

Those who read this space regularly know that my family is frantic with worry about my cousin, Ashley Simpson , who has been missing 40 days now. Both her boyfriend and her landlord reported that she had left with no money, no car, no resources from her Salmon Arm, B.C. home after a domestic dispute over money. Since then, there has been no trace of her. The RCMP now considers this a homicide investigation, but the family has not heard any updates from them in more than three weeks. Just after she disappeared, her father, relatives and friends set out from St. Catharines on a long trek to B.C. to find her. They all left their work, and their lives, intent on finding Ashley who had always kept in touch. It was completely out of character for her to lose touch. Her parents have been consumed by worry. They have been unable to work, and are having a hard time functioning. As a result, they are now relying on donations from family and friends to keep the wolf from the door...

The strange case of Greg Etue

I got out of the daily news reporting game, I'll admit, because I didn't have the stomach to cover the many sad stories that came across my desk. I remember clearly once when I had to call an RCMP sergeant after his young son blew his head off with the officer's service revolver. "Please," he pleaded. "I really can't talk right now." "It was your gun, is that correct?" He slammed down the receiver. I was ashamed of myself. People have a right to some privacy in difficult times like that. I also used to hate having to go to the door of a dead child's home and jostle the competition for a picture. Really, it felt more like ghoulism than journalism. That said, I still believe that these stories must be told in an honest and forthright fashion with all the facts and none of the flourish and emotion that is all the rage in reporting these days. Over the past two years, we, in this community, have been treated to a lot o...
