Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff has made his first big campaign promise, and it's a policy that could benefit students.

The Quebec government has taken a big step towards the possibility of submitting a bid for the Winter Olympics. The government has hired the architecture and design firm Populous to help prepare a prep bid.

Sam Hamad - the minister for Quebec City- says Populous knows what to do as they are very specialized in sports infrastructure. Populous has worked on the planning and design of almost every Olympics since ninety ninety six.

Hamad says the province is proceeding with the bid even though Quebec City has not made an official decision on whether they want to host the games.

When Brennan Richer came to CJLO, the station was a very different place. Some DJs hosted for themselves, using the air time as an outlet to express themselves. Others hosted for their community, as a means to promote the culture of their musical taste. Lastly some hosted with all that and more in mind. Not only to promote their show, their genre but for everyone. Brennan Richer has always been one of those DJs and has paved the way for a generation of DJs who approach their shows in that manner. As the host of The Almighty Riff, he has been a staple of the Sunday line and has been a key to building its popularity.

Trade union workers rallied outside of Concordia University Tuesday during their lunch hour. They are angry about a contract proposal from the university that offered little raise in salary.

The Metallos union local 9538 represents carpenters, steelworkers and other tradesmen that uphold the buildings on Concordia’s two campuses. One member called out the university for raising tuition fees for students while executive’s wages stay high. He doesn't feel that union workers can survive on these low wages.
