Southern joins us to chat about some of the day’s more interesting stories the ice has all melted but that doesn’t mean skating time is over on one of toronto’s more popular trails richard yeah boy i thought this is pretty cool so you know the uh the bent
Way erica that ski yeah the role is the skating rink they have under the gardener what they’re going to do now they’re going to turn that into a roller skating rink in the summer time right so you know this time of year or you know in the
Last couple of months people have been busy skating under the gardener but the ice is going to melt and they’re going to turn that thing into a big outdoor roller skating rink it’s going to be called the retro roller it’s going to open in june and because we probably don’t have many
Hanging around the house the four-wheeled old-school roller skates will be available to rent you do have to book in advance i don’t know that i’ve ever been on any of those old school have you have you done that before yeah a few years ago i went roller
Skating for one of my friend’s birthdays and it was kind of fun it sounds kind of cool and if they play some music could be a good time to get outdoors and get some exercise in a different way i’m thinking you and i should go for our interesting story
Segment that we do every every day at this time do you think we should go and film it yeah i think that would be okay i’d have to to sort of uh up my skills though i’m not that great at roller skating yet
It’d be a lot of me you’ll be a lot of picking me up off the ground here but i think we should do that both of us will just be like you know newborn deers all right should people be getting rewarded for getting a covet 19 vaccine one donut chain
Is under fire for doing just that krispy kreme they’re not doing this in canada not yak but in the states krispy kreme is giving a free donut away to you every single day if you show proof of a vaccination if you show your vaccine card and you know the i guess the
The intent was obviously to encourage people to get vaccinated but the announcement was met with a lot of criticism online and on tv for instance comedian stephen colbert mocked the giveaway saying that it could feed into america’s obesity epidemic the ceo of krispy kreme has come out saying listen
We’re uh we’re a donut shop you don’t have to come in if you don’t want to but we’re trying to encourage people to do this what do you think eric is that a good idea for them to do that or not i didn’t you know personally i don’t think that
It would increase my donut intake knowing that they were giving out one donut a day for free uh yeah it’s just one of those things i understand where uh colbert is coming from they’re kind of trading one for another but they could roll it into one if i could get like a pfizer
Filled donut or a moderna filled donut that would be kind of nice maybe yeah and finally a stray dog has been given a new home but the story about how the animal actually got there is unusual a cute story to send you off into your evening this is out of north carolina
This little guy was a stray dog there and what he what had happened he would go into a dollar store and he would steal that plush unicorn the same one from this dollar store it happened five times so the store calls animal control animal control comes to take him away
But they said listen when they heard the story they were going to buy this for him the animal control bought the stuffy and the story went viral and the good news is he has been adopted and the stuffy went along to the new home how cute is that you’re
Tugging on my heartstrings on this monday richard thank you for that story that just made me feel all warm inside so cute all right thanks i will see you again tomorrow see you tomorrow
