Hi Redmond, great to find your blog. It was about a year ago that I heard your name on CBC radio, and it was the first time I had heard of my family name used as a first name. Great idea and Lucky you!
Keep up the great articles.
Cheers,
Andrea Redmond Caven

I would like to speak with you about your coverage of the YMCA trial for Hugh James Clifford Croll on voyeurism I have spoken with Catherine Harrop on this in the past and just sent her a message.

I listened to your radio feature “Cycling the Border” and just wanted to say how much I enjoyed it. Top class production and you’ve got one of the nicest voices I’ve ever heard on radio.

Hi . I just read your little feature about the Queen, I personally suggest you stop being so political, a realize MOST English Canadians aren’t interested in getting rid of the Monarchy. We gain ALOT of protections,like having her in charge of our military ( not some moron prime minister), Crown land that can’t be messed with by the same said moron prime minister. First nation’s Treaties are with the Monarchy NOT with the Canadian gov. So NOT lets NOT fix what is not broken. Even if we have an idiot Politian who wants to destroy our laws.
