Despite denials, and a call for subscribers to unsubscribe from AllNovaScotia.com, Andrew Krystal is leaving News 95.7 Halifax, for The Fan 590 in Toronto. On Friday, AllNovaScotia.com reported Krystal was leaving the Halifax radio station for Toronto. The subscription access business news website indicated Krystal had been telling some local politicians about his move back to Toronto. However, the popular website also reported Krystal didn't tell his co-workers. They had only heard about his move from second-hand sources. When Krystal took to the air on Friday morning, he was obviously upset with the All NS report. So much so that he told his listeners not to believe it. He also encouraged subscribers to unsubscribe, a call for a boycott if you will. |

What's up with News 95.7 listen show host Andrew Krystal?
His attacks on Premier Darrell Dexter have been a daily occurrence, up until recently. Which begs the question, why has Andrew Krystal not mentioned Darrell Dexter's name for 3 full listen show broadcasts?
Krystal's dull blade may be associated with comments he made on his show last Wednesday. During that listen show, Krystal told his audience that he did not believe Dexter when the premier said an expense claim made for his wife's drive was a mistake. He went on to say the people of Nova Scotia don't believe him.
Krystal promised his audience that he would continue with more Dexter expense discussion Thursday morning. He never did, and hasn't since |

 Halifax Live has learned exclusively that former N.S. premier Rodney MacDonald will be appointed director of communications to Prime Minister Stephen Harper sometime within the next two weeks.
A source close to the MacDonald family tells HL on the condition of anonymity that the former premier and professional fiddler was contacted by the PMO two weeks ago concerning a 'potential opening'. |

Our provincial political leaders from Premier Darrell Dexter, who promised ‘a new kind of government’, to fairly new Liberal leader Stephen MacNeil and the interim PC leader Karen Casey simply don’t get it. In fact, their conduct and deportment over the last few weeks on the MLA’s expense scandal pathetically shows that they haven’t a clue how the so called average Nova Scotian feels.
Even though the Chronicle Herald has received more letters on this topic than ever, that CBC News 5-5:30 and 6pm editions are getting 50-80 calls a show on this topic and even though it is the item in coffee shops, barbershops and probably welding shops, these leaders still struggle with the word, open and/or transparency. They just don’t get it and refuse to reveal what the public, who pays their salaries, expenses, generators and digital cameras, etc, wants to know. They either refuse or it takes lots of pressure to get some information from them, why? What are they hiding? |

I am certain Lewis Carroll didn’t have the members of Halifax Regional Municipal council in mind when he coined the word “jabberwocky.” After all, that was 1872, and Ron Wallace was mayor. Or so it seems.
Anyway, anyone who missed Tuesday’s debate over banning bottled water from city hall, missed what could have been a classic edition of Laugh In. Such was the nonsense spoken by the majority of members debating the subject.
Kudos to Deputy Mayor David Hendsbee, who chaired the meeting, for not grabbing a couple of councilors by the throat and shaking them into a state of awareness. A few of the members, such as Bob Harvey, Reg Rankin, Gloria McCluskey and Sue Uteck, did their best to keep the debates in focus and on topic. The rest? Can you spell grand-standing? |

If I owned a gun, which I don’t and never will, and visited a beaver colony and systematically wiped them out, the SPCA would have me in court before I could blink. So why aren’t those responsible for slaying the beavers last week in Bayhead, Colchester County facing charges?
Maybe not the ones who pulled the trigger, they were acting under orders. But certainly the twit(s) at the Department of Transportation who issued the edict should face the music. As their boss, Bill Estabrooks said, “Errors in judgment were made.”
The Transportation Minister was refreshingly open and frank when he said, “There were- let’s call it like it is – some mistakes that were made.”
Continuing, however, he innocently made the understatement of the year; “There probably would be a more diplomatic way to do it in the future.” |

Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff is playing a dangerous game. Throwing down the gauntlet by announcing he plans to defeat the Harper government at the first opportunity when the House of Commons resumes sitting, may just break the log jam, and send the voters, those who bother with the process, over to the Conservatives in droves.
I was interested in a straw poll on a recent CTV evening newscast. Viewers of the 6pm program with Steve Murphy were 10 to 1 against a fall election. While this is not a formal poll, the figure is somewhat telling.
Canadians are fed up with politicians and elections. So much so that there could be a significant backlash if the Liberals force the issue. One thing is certain, the Conservative supporters will vote. Especially in the West, where they dominate. |

Darren Muise, Freeman MacNeil and Derek Wood are the three soulless monsters who, on May 7, 1992 walked into the Sydney River McDonald’s and murdered three employees, while carrying out an armed robbery.
A 29-year-old maintenance worker and married father of one, Neil Burroughs, was shot, stabbed and beaten with a shovel. Another maintenance worker, 27-year-old Jimmy Fagan was shot dead. The shift manager that evening was Donna Warren, 22. They shot her in the head after she had opened the safe.
A fourth staff member, Arleen MacNeil was shot and severely wounded, and left permanently disabled.
Freeman MacNeil and Darren Wood were convicted of first degree murder in 1993and sentenced to life in prison with no parole for at least 25 years. Muise ducked the first-degree charge by pleading guilty to second degree murder and received a life sentence with no parole before 20 years were served. Muise, by the way, slit the throat of Neil Burroughs when he discovered he was still alive after having been shot in the head. |
