Buckingham This Week (Friday, Sept. 9th, 2011)

National issues with a regional focus it's Buckingham This Week!

As one of Blog Talk Radio's most popular hosts Jon Hansen has interviewed persons of note from the world of politics, business and entertainment.

Reaching an audience of more than 2 million people each month worldwide, his shows the PI Window and 49th Parallel Forum with American co-host Jim Bouchard, tackle some of the most controversial and thought-provoking topics of the day.

With Buckingham This Week!, Jon will touch on those stories that impact this community of 12,000 (and growing) that rests just outside of the nation's capital Ottawa.

Besides commentary and guests, the show's format will also include a call-in and chat room capability so that your opinions can be shared and heard both here at home and around the globe.

In a follow-up to our first show last Friday, Jon will talk about the Myth of Rural Serenity.

In response to the incident in Buckingham where a young man walked into an elementary school armed with a gun, asking to speak to a classroom of students, one long time Buckingham resident had this to say;

"This is something we expect to see in big cities like Montreal or Toronto," said one woman. "This is a small town where everybody knows everybody. This kind of thing just doesn't happen here."

But do statistics support this perception?

In this evening's program we will find out if in fact they do.

Our call-in number is 347-326-9234, so be ready to tell us what you think!
