Scott Radley Show

On this day in 1987, a major thing happened to the stock market... it crashed! We now refer to that day as Black Monday and it caused big problems but what if it happened now? Market crashes are inevitable but what if it happened today? How do you think it would affect the world?

Should students get their money back for every day the teachers of OPSEU are on strike for? If you didn’t already know, the OPSEU strike has taken not only every teacher, professor and instructor out of the classroom but has also taken out every student from the classroom too! Students are paying thousands of dollars to be educated but when they're not being taught, where is their money going? Guest: Amir Allana, Co-author of petition for students’ tuition refunds   Gordon Hayward was a member of the Boston Celtics for all of 5 minutes before his leg was injured in a very unusual way. His tibia was broken causing his foot to effectively turn completely around.  Did you go searching for the video? The NBA’s season started up last night but lately, it seems as though it’s turned into a league full of have and have-nots. The Toronto Raptors seem to be on the side of the have-nots which will likely impact their standings at the end of the season, do you agree? Also, are the Ticats really going start with Jerem

There has been no shortage of big headlines in the business and political worlds. The first is about these "bombshell" demands that the US is supposedly laying down as we're going into the 4th round of NAFTA negotiations and the second is that the Sears collapse is going to ripple through the economy.The final headline says that Hamilton is the second best place for jobs in Canada. What are your thoughts on these headlines?

Scott opened today's show with not one but three unusual and simply disappointing stories. There was a guy who dyed his hair and painted the Maple Leafs' logo on his face with a cigarette in his mouth at a Maple Leafs game who became known as "Dart Guy". Well Dart Guy has been given a two hour radio show in Toronto! You might ask why this was done, because he's Dart Guy! That's the only reason! The Toronto District School Board is removing the word "chief" from any job title that possesses the word "out of respect for Indigenous communities". This is being done despite the fact that the word "chief" is English. The Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides are named as such to reflect on who their members are. So then why is it that the Boy Scouts are considering accepting girls into their ranks? Doesn't this contradict the name "Boy Scouts"? The Girl Guides don't like this decision, do you? What are your thoughts on these outrageous stories?-All the United States soccer team needed was a tie against Trinidad & Toba

Famous people seem to be running into trouble with the law all the time these days and yet another example of this is Harvey Weinstein. The public's attention was turned to him ever since he's been accused of sexual assault and rape and similar to other cases like this, people aren't taking it as seriously as they should. Do you agree? Are sexual crimes are being treated seriously enough? Guest: Lenore Lukasic-Foss, Director of the Sexual Assault Centre of Hamilton-The Maple Leafs are dominating the ice this season! The team has loads of talent and they've been showing it game after game but the question is, how much longer can they keep this up for? When will the Leafs' winning streak end? Guest: Bubba O'Neil, Sports Anchor at CHCH-It's hard to enjoy a sport like boxing when you know that every blow you cheer for is one that can damage the other fighters' brain and have a massive effect on the rest of their life.

According to a Toronto Star article, three nursing homes have been told that they're no longer allowed to accept new residents due to sub-standard care. Sometimes this happens because of people turning a blind-eye and sometimes it's because of budgetary concerns. Whatever the reason, you don't want your parents or relatives to suffer, do you? Guest: Sivan Tumarkin, Head of Personal Injury and Insurance Law practice group at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP-The Ticats are facing the Winnigpeg Blue Bombers tomorrow and if the past is any indicator for the Ticats, things won't go well, or will they?

Guest: Barry Mano, Founder and President of the National Association of Sports Officials-After the rampage that went on in Las Vegas, everyone is on edge and yet still, people are still doing stupid stuff.

What is wrong with people these days?!    On a happier yet slightly smellier note, a British newspaper released an article about bathing once a week. What do you think, is this healthier for your body than bathing everyday?-It feels like just

One of the biggest questions surrounding the Las Vegas Golden Knights is whether or not Vegas is a good market to try and build a hockey franchise especially when you consider the fact that Vegas has never been home to a professional sports team.

Aaron Hernandez was a man who played college football alongside Tim Tebow and then went on to become one of the best players in the NFL until he was arrested for murder. Upon examination, his brain showed a lot of damage from football which must have been the reason for what he did. Do you think Hernandez is a victim and the NFL is to blame for its players' health or since Aaron Hernandez had every option to leave the sport and protect his health, is it his fault and players should be accountable for their own health?-The Hamilton art scene is one that is full of incredible artists, poets and writers but few are able to come close to what local artist Lee Munn can create.
