CP24: I ARGUE FOR REAL BOOKS OVER AUIO BOOKS ON THE DEBUT OF “THE GREAT DEBATE!

I’ve written eleven books, and for the last few I’ve been convinced that this would be the last one to come out in physical form. And yet, every release date sees a boxes of big, beautiful books delivered to book stores. On CP24’s new 4-episode show “The Great Debate” I argue, with political strategist and audio book enthusiast Scott Reid, about the benefits of good, old fashioned books.

CP24: I ARGUE FOR PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA ON THE DEBUT OF “THE GREAT DEBATE!

As Canadians we don’t make a big deal of our contributions to world cuisine… We have Bannock, Malpeque oysters, Alberta beef and pineapple on pizza.

I know it’s controversial, but I see this as a matter of Canadian pride. We should celebrate our innovations, whether it’s the walkie-talkie, the electric wheelchair… or putting pineapple on pizza.

Created in 1962 by Chef and innovative flavor genius Sam Panopoulos of the Satellite Restaurant in Chatham-Kent, Ontario. It not only represents out of the box thinking, but it represents the best of the Canadian multicultural make-up… it is an invention by a Greek immigrant, inspired by Chinese cuisine to put a South American fruit on an Italian dish… what could be more representative of the grand cultural mosaic of our country than that?

CP24: RICHARD ARGUES FOR PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA ON “THE GREAT DEBATE”

This week I appear on CP24’s new 4-episode show “The Great Debate.” It is a spirited tournament style debate show where contestants go head-to-head on a variety of topics, ranging from Pineapple on Pizza, yes or no and Would you want to live forever? Much like March Madness and the bracket system, the competition will whittle down until there is one remaining debating champ! Debaters include television personality Teddy Wilson, political commentator Scott Reid, CP24 traffic specialist Adwoa Nsiah-Yeboa, E-Talk reporter Shannon Burns, CHUM-FM’s Josie Dye, TSN host Matthew Cauz and political strategist Amanda Galbraith.

The show will Air Tuesday January 28th to Friday January 31st at 9:30pm CP24 and CP24.com
