From Maui, Hawaii, a report of the apocalyptic fires on the island which have destroyed the historic town of Lahaina. Guest: Adam Lightplay. Producer. Akaku Community Media (Television), Maui. CPC's new video campaign presenting Pierre Poilievre in a kinder light and narrated by his wife Anaida. Helpful? And at the time of the announcement of the Trudeau's separation?

Guest: Stephen Ledrew, lawyer and former (longest serving) president of the Liberal Party of Canada Kevin Brown is again the play-by-play voice of the Baltimore Orioles, returning last night for a game between the Orioles and Seattle Mariners.

He was suspended by team officials according to The Athletic and most believe the team owner drove this. Orioles fans at Camden Yards chanted "free Kevin Brown" repeatedly. Brown remained silent until yesterday when he tweeted about his 'wonderful' relationship with the team, the GM and the owner. What most likely is the real story here? Guest: Greg Brady, Host, Toronto Today, AM 640, Global News Radio and for many years sports host/anchor. The federal government reveals a new alleged China-backed misinformation campaign against Michael Chong. Also news this week that guest of 3 weeks ago, Anna Kwok, the youngest Hong Kong activist on whom Hong Kong authorities placed a $1million HK bounty found out her parents had been visited by HK police.

Today’s podcast: Global News: Trudeau defends Canada's military spending against U.S. senator's scolding. Alaska senator Dan Sullivan rips into Canada's lack of proper military spending, missing our 2% GDP military spending promise, compromising our allies and directly asking the incoming Command General of NORAD, Lt. General Gregory Guillot to confront his Canadian counterparts on this issue. Guest: Dr. Christian Leuprecht. Queen's University and Royal Military College. International security expert. Fellow at the NATO College in Rome. Book: Security. Cooperation. Governance. University of Michigan Press. Police in Canada are using licence plate scanners to identify drivers in arrears on fines. U.S. police are now actively using AI to identify likely criminals by the way a vehicle is being driven and they have arrested individuals fleeing from serious criminal charges. If this initiative were adopted in Canada would it be a clear violation of Charter protected privacy rights? Guest: Daniel Konikoff. Director of the Privacy, Technology and Surveillance Program at the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. Trudeau tears up his cabinet while more Liberal MPs are opting out of politics and the federal Liberals are slipping precipitously in national voter support. What do two former Liberal MPs believe is going on inside the party? Guests: Michelle Simson & Dan McTeague Follow up to last Sunday's RGS when Scott Moe joined us and challenged, more directly than previously, the Trudeau government as increasing the East/West divide, based on an op ed by Yukon University professor Ken Coates and did not resist when I asked the premier if his fellow premiers across Canada have had it with the PM. Guest: Professor Ken Coates. We spoke with KC for 10 minutes last Sunday, but there's much more to be unpacked. Does Professor Coates see any parallels between the development of the politically successful Quebec sovereignty movement and what is developing in Western Canada. I related how I was present in Quebec when Rene Levesque gave personality to the Quebec sovereignty issue and was there for the election of the first PQ MNA's. I asked Ken Coates if he sees parallels in the West. His response: "They are fighting mad. Imagine this scenario. The Liberals appoint a Minister of Industry with a mandate to reduce emissions produced by manufacturing and processing. The focus would be on manufacturing and processing plants in Ontario and Quebec. Can you imagine such a thing?"

Three people, including a 16 and 12-year-old have been charged in a series of robberies of sports trading cards in the GTA, with a gun involved. When police arrested two of the suspects, they found a loaded firearm. Charges have been laid against the youths and the adult who was in violation of bail conditions. The question we're asking though is one we first posed approx. 30 years ago to massive response. A 12-year-old at the time was involved in convenience store robberies and flashed a handgun in the process. The question was and is again: should a police officer encounter a 12-year-old child brandishing a very real, or real-looking handgun and that child points the real or real-looking gun at the police officer, what must the police officer do in order to protect anyone in the immediate vicinity and the officer's own life?

Today’s podcast: The cost issue surrounding the continued pursuit of Paul Bernardo's presence and movement within the Canadian prison system - Meanwhile the Parole Board of Canada refused to disclose whether it had the composite transcript of the Bernardo videotapes based on Bernardo's privacy rights (upheld by a court decision as the Government of Canada fought to maintain Bernardo's privacy rights) until 5pm the day before the hearing. This proved to be "hell" for the French and Mahaffy families, according to the families lawyer Tim Danson. - Meanwhile the federal government wanted the families to pay over $19,000 in court costs for the government lawyers. Justice Glennys McVeigh sided with the government and ordered the families to pay $4,000 in costs. - The government would walk back the cost order and the battle continues....because Paul Bernardo "has his privacy rights." Meanwhile a private citizen started a Go Fund Me page to raise money for the French and Mahaffy families to pay the legal bills from Tim Danson incurred over the years he has represented them. Danson spoke with me about this and assured his work for the families always has been and always will be pro bono. Guest: Tim Danson. Lawyer for the French and Mahaffy families. The coup attempt in Russia by Yevgeny Prighozin and his mercenary Wagner Group which ended as quickly as it began with Prighozin moving to Belarus and charges against him being dropped.

Book banned in Russia and Felshtinksy's co-author Alexander Litvinenko died after being poisoned in London with radiation substance. British inquiry concluded the order to kill Litvinenko originated in the Kremlin. Friday was the anniversary (June 23, 1985) of Canada's deadliest terror attack as Air India Flight 182 was bombed on its journey from Vancouver to Delhi, via Montreal and London. 329 passengers were killed, 280 were Canadian. 38 years later the Angus Reid Institute polled Canadians on how much we know about this terrorist attack. 90% of Canadians confess to having little (61%) or no (28%) knowledge and 58% of Canadians under 35 have never heard of the attack. Guest: Ujjal Dosanjh. Former premier of British Columbia and federal Liberal minister of health. He, his wife and 3 sons had reserved seats on Flight 182 and canceled a few days before departure. Dosanjh wrote about the attack and what led to it in his autobiography JOURNEY AFTER MIDNIGHT: India, Canada and the Road Beyond. RCMP communication with Democracy Watch confirming it had misled DW by sending a letter dated May 25, 2023 saying it is currently investigating the allegation the Prime Minister and other members of the Trudeau cabinet obstructed the SNC-Lavalin prosecution. Subsequently the RCMP issued statements that the investigation ended in January of '23, contradicting its own letter to Democracy Watch sent May 25 of this year. Guest: Duff Conacher.

Today’s podcast: Discussion of issues such as the Johnston Report, Carbon tax, Election issues and more. Guest: Pierre Poilievre. Conservative Party of Canada leader. The Clean Fuel Regulation of the Trudeau government analyzed by the Parliamentary Budget Officer. The PBO calls the CFR "broadly regressive" and says its price increase for gasoline and diesel will by the time it's fully implemented in 2030 be more hurtful to lower-income households in Canada. Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault calls the PBO report "unbalanced" and Gerald Butts, Justin Trudeau's former advisor ripped the report as "incompetence on climate change." - As well, Guilbeault accused the PBO of an 'unbalanced modelling approach" in the "analysis of the price of pollution." PBO report shows most Canadians will be worse off in the federal government's imposed carbon tax. - Plus, what is the expected cost of servicing the $1 trillion-plus national debt? Guest: Yves Giroux. Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO). Says "I can understand that people are not happy when we underline that government action will have repercussions, and in this case, costs, but I stand by the analysis we provided." In 2013, England's chief medical officer warned of a health "armageddon" as bacteria learn to overcome antibiotics and new drugs aren't available to counteract the situation. She said "antibiotics are losing their effectiveness at a ratte that is both alarming and irreversible, similar to global warming. TGhe apocalyptic scenario is that when I need a new hip in 20 years I'll die from a routine infection because we've run out of antibiotics." Ten years later the World Health Organization warns of AMR as a top 10 global public health threat. AMR is "antimicrobial resistance."

Quebec wll be the only Canadian province to not commemorate Queen Elizabeth officially in any way next week. Premier Legault had the flags at the National Assembly lowered following the Queen's death.

An op ed written by our guest and published by the U.K. Spectator on September 12: How the Queen helped to fix Germany: She understood the importance of reconciliation. the op ed begins: "The Brandenburg Gate has often reflected the state of the German nation. Throughout the centures, Berlins iconic landmark has been a symbol of victory, defeat, unity, division and restoration. It has even reflected Germany's energy crisis, no longer lit to save electricity. But on Friday night it shone brightly once more: in red, white and blue as Germany mourns the death of Queen Elizabeth II. This is much more than a gesture of condolence. 'Expressing our sympathy and our mourning by lighting the cymbol of our city and our country in the colours of the Union Jack to honour Queen Elizabeth II fully represents the sentiments of people in Berlin,' " said mayor Franziska Giffey. "It was the power of her great personality that has always fascinated us Berliners." Guest: Katja Hoyer, German/British historian and journalist. Visiting Research Fellow at King's College, London.

Today’s podcast: Pierre Poilievre romps to victory in Conservative leadership race earning 70% of the vote on the first ballot, launching a new era in Cdn politics. But what does this era look like? David Akin. Chief political correspondent - Global News. For any Conservative leader, there is a lot of fertile ground. Public dissatisfaction with the Liberals, the policy files that seem to be a mess of the moment. Pierre Poilievre represents a different approach from a conservative perspective, that the Liberals might want to pay attention to. Brian Lilley. Political columnist - Toronto Sun. 7 months ago, Putin apologiests bought into the hype of the Russian War Machine, touting the speculated "swiftness" of Russian victory in Ukraine. That thought didn't age well, especially as Ukrainian forces have begun a remarkable and brilliant counter-offensive. As of Thursday, Ukrainian President Vlodamir Zelensky announced that 1000 km2 of territory had been seized by Ukrainian troops, That number continues to rise. Adam Zivo. Independent journalist/columnist. Canadian supply of blood plasma is vital. As it stands now, Canadian Blood Services collects 15% of Canada's plasma supply, the rest from the US. And in the US, it's common place for plasma donors to be compensated. There are some ethical issues that arise from this of course, which is why we've seen outrage by the notion that we might move in that direction. Canadian Blood Services has signed a deal with a private, for-profit company to collect plasma from donors here in Canada, with the goal of increasing our domestic supply. Angela Diano.

A developing story we have been sharing with listeners. The Canadian Victoria Cross for a Canadian Armed Forces member? Canadian Army Private Jess Larochelle accomplished in Afghanistan on October 14, 2006, what we usually only see in Hollywood movies with the likes of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The Hague has requested relief from sanctions against Russia. The city needs Russian natural gas. Others will follow says my guest. -- Experts in the area of energy security are bluntly saying the Germans and their over-enthusiasm for renewables are the architects of their own disaster. - A French member of parliament this week tweeted almost the identical accusation and told the Germans to fire up their nuclear plants and take care of their people.

Ontario will require seniors currently in hospitals but deemed well enough to live in LTC facilities to accept an offered space in such a facility even if it is a long distance from the senior's home and family.

His father though died the next day. Marc then received an invoice from the private LTC facility demanding payment for time his father never spent at the facility (he's dead, remember). The facility's policy is they must receive 30 days notice of moving out and that clients must pay a month in advance. Marc wanted a refund for 17 days of the month his dad didn't spend in the facility and the private facility's response was you didn't provide us the 30 days notice of moving out, so you owe us that extra money.

Last weekend I spoke with Bruce Moncur, CAF Afghanistan campaign veteran himself was badly wounded, about the call of his organization Valour in the Presence of the Enemy for the awarding of the Canadian Victoria Cross to Private Jess Larochelle for his heroism in battle in 2006.. Bruce Moncur and General Rick Hillier appeared on air with us a year ago with the same recommendation. This past week the federal government made it official that the effort for a CVA for Jess Larochelle is a no go, as they responded to an electronic national petition E3636. Not one Canadian Armed Forces member has been awarded the Victoria Cross or the Canadian Victoria Cross since WWII Guest: Bruce Moncur replies to the government's refusing the CVC for Private Larochelle.

Today the Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholz begins a 3 day tour of Canada with a delegation of German business and energy execs. Germany is facing massive energy and economic deficit/challenges (office and public buildings must keep max heating at 19 degrees Celsius this winter) and rolling blackouts may occur. Why is this happening? Germany's own poor energy planning and management? Is it a leap to expect Scholz will be looking for LNG energy help from Canada? According to the Trudeau government such discussions will not be on the table. And how often does a German Chancellor visit Canada? Guest: Katja Hoyer. German/Anglo citizen, and historian.

Next premier of Alberta???? Jason Kenney, the outgoing premier said on Corus radio in AB that Danielle Smith's Sovereignty Act would make Alberta a 'laughingstock.' How does the perceived front-runner to replace Kenney respond to his critique and critiques offered by others in federal and Alberta provincial politics? And we do remember the outrageous statements demands of and about Canada by successive premiers of Quebec. Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe told us weeks ago his province will do what it considers best for Saskatchewan and not blindly follow edicts from the Ottawa "caretaker" government.

German Chancellor Scholz in Canada to meet with Justin Trudeau. We're told Canadian LNG for Germany facing a gas/energy crisis will not be discussed. Instead, an agreement concerning future (perhaps 30 years from now) hydrogen exports from Canada will be signed. That would have been like Kim Campbell, in 1992, as PM signing a yet to be developed energy agreement for Canada to take effect now, in 2022.) Meanwhile, Germany has again fired up coal plants, will limit public buildings heating this winter to 19 degrees Celsius and is turning off some traffic lights in Berlin in order to save gas.) Other nations turning to coal and fossil fuels again. And what will happen to Canada's energy costs this and in coming winters? Guest: Dan McTeague. Canadians for Affordable Energy.

Introducing Episode 1 of China Rising - Hostage Diplomacy
On the first episode of China Rising, we examine the Chinese government's practice of detaining political prisoners, by hearing directly from Canadians who've become caught in the crossfire. Christian aid workers Julia and Kevin Garratt lived in China for 30 years before their arrest in 2014, when they were suddenly cast as pawns in a geopolitical chess match. The Garratts’ traumatic experience is eerily similar to the case of the 'Two Michaels,' Canadians Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, detained in China since December 2018. Using their stories and others as a guide, we'll investigate how Western countries, including Canada, should respond to China's so-called 'Hostage Diplomacy.'

IPSOS President and CEO Darrell Bricker joins us to speak to two of his books.

In Empty Planet, Darrell Bricker makes the argument that the global population is headed for a steep decline and in some countries this has already begun, in contrast to much of the climate change panic being centered on a supposedly very rapidly increasing global population.

Ms. Nassif is saying she has been removed as the Liberal candidate for Vimy, QC, because she refuses to acknowledge Justin Trudeau as a feminist, following the SNC-Lavalin, Trudeau, PMO, Jody Wilson-Raybould scandal. Trudeau says that's not true. Meanwhile the Vimy Liberal Party riding association is refusing to turn over its campaign funds to the national party, as the association continues to support Eva Nassif.

Federal opposition party leaders not named Scheer: Peoples Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier made headlines this week over his inclusion in the televised federal political party leaders debates. Expected focus for Bernier likely immigration. 14% of Canadians told IPSOS for Global News that immigration is a key voting issue for them. On the question 'which party is best to handle immigration' the CPC leads at 42% followed by the Liberals at 16%, with the PPC five points behind the Liberals at 11% and ahead of the NDP and Greens. Mike Colledge, President of IPSOS Canada writes in a Global News commentary "we should welcome Bernier and his views on immigation to the debates, if for no other reason than he is putting the issue on the table." Projected seat count for Bernier's PPC remains very low at perhaps 1-2 and IPSOS polling shows Bernier with only 5% support nationally regarding which party leader would make the best prime minister.

Don Edwards is the former Buffalo Sabres/Calgary Flames/Toronto Maple Leafs and Team Canada goaltender whose parents – Donna and Arnold Edwards – were murdered in 1991 by George Lovie in Hamilton, Ontario.
Lovie had been dating Don's sister Michele, who wanted to end the relationship. Lovie proceeded to stalk Michele, who alleged that Lovie raped her in her home several weeks prior to the murders. On March 21, 1991, Michele Edwards was leaving her home when George Lovie appeared from under her porch with a powerful hunting rifle and large knife. In terror Michele ran to her parents’ home with Lovie following. Donna and Arnold Edwards attempted to keep Lovie out, but he broke into the house. Lovie shot and killed Donna and plunged the knife into the chest of Arnold repeating "how do you like me now?" Lovie was convicted of two counts of first degree murder and one count of attempted murder. He was not charged with raping Michele Edwards. Since then, George Lovie has threatened the Edwards family and they fear that threat today.
Now Lovie has just been granted the beginnings to his freedom and will be moving (or already has moved) to a Sudbury, Ontario halfway house on day parole. That day parole will be reviewed in six months and full parole hearing will follow.
Don Edwards and his wife Tannis, as well as Michele and other members of the Edwards family were present and were instructed on how long their Victims Impact Statements could be (by the parole board) and were ordered to remove certain passages, or the board would redact what they didn't like.
Roy has known the Edwards family since those days in Hamilton and served on the board of the national victims’ rights organization CAVEAT with Don and Michele Edward’s sister Jessie.Former Alberta prosecutor Scott Newark has also known and provided support and advice for the Edwards family for many years. He is also the former head of the Ontario government Office for Victims of Crime.
The Edwards family is determined to fight the release of George Lovie and challenges the manner in which the parole board (and CSC) have behaved and treated the victims of George Lovie's murderous assault. They share their story.

The Trudeau government has committed $61 million to build a road to service a growing network of mines in the Arctic. The company at the head of the mining effort, MMG, is one of the largest controlled by the Chinese government. The road would cut through heart of the range of the Bathurst caribou heard, which has already suffered tremendous losses in population in part blamed on heavy mining. In the mid-80's the herd numbered nearly 500,000. By last year it was down to 8,200 - A 98% decline in one generation.

Sonya Nadine Mae Cywink was born in Little Current on Manitoulin Island on August 19, 1963. Her body (and that of her unborn child) was found at Southwold Earthworks, a 40-minute drive southwest of London, ON on Aug. 30, 1994.
This year marks 25 years since her murder and the case is still unsolved. National Online Reporter Jane Gerster and Supervising Producer of Original Content Brent Stanley traveled to Manitoulin Island to speak with Sonya's sister, Meggie, and the community where she grew up. Sonya is one of thousands of MMIWG cases and her sister one of the families who opposed the MMIWG inquiry.
This will tell Sonya's story from a cold case perspective, as well as delving into the issue of MMIWG post inquiry's final report: It was pitched as a way to understand the issue fully, but now that we have, what do we do? And has it helped bring any unsolved cases like Sonya's closer to fruition?

Possible voter fallout of parliamentary Ethics Commissioner report on Justin Trudeau over interfering with Jody Wilson-Raybould doing her duty in SNC-Lavalin case.
Reality is, their national public profiles notwithstanding, Jody Wilson-Raybould an Jane Philpott are running for federal election as independent candidates. They no longer have the Big Red Machine providing support. In fact, the Big Red Machine will be doing everything it can to unseat and defeat JWR and JP. What are the obstacles the Liberal Party will place in the way of JWR and JP? And even if they are elected, how influential can they be as a caucus of two? We speak to a former Liberal MP who lived exactly that reality.
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business has its 2019 federal small business platform in place.
Facts: 99.9% of businesses in Canada are small. - 86% are businesses with 5 employees or less. - Small and medium-sized businesses were responsible for 85% of new jobs created between 2013 and 2017. - 1 out of 2 small business owners had to stop paying themselves or family members to pay other employees.
As we close in on the 2019 federal election what is the health of Canada's small business sector? How do int'l developments like market uncertainty (800 point drop in the Dow last Wednesday alone) U.S./China trade war, a hard Brexit, deteriorating Hong Kong/China relationship affect Canada's number 1 employers?
Former Newfoundland and Labrador premier Brian Peckford's latest blog is titled "Canada has Crossed the Rubicon - We Are A Corrupt Nation." Deals with Ethics Commissioner's report this week.
BP also makes the point that Pierre and Justin Trudeau behaved similarly in "ignoring the fulsome nature of our constitution."

He also ran as an independent in his Toronto-area riding and overcame everything the Liberals placed in his way and was reelected. What does John Nunziata expect JWR & JP will face from the Trudeau Liberals? What will they have to do to win as independent candidates? And if they do, how effective can they be as a caucus of two?

DND will not confirm an NDA exists, but declares the agreement to be confidential. Huh? Western Premiers meeting. CPC climate change plan. Ontario court split-decision support that Trudeau gov may impose carbon tax on the province.
This week we found out Admiral Mark Norman negotiated an exit deal from the CAF which now may or may not be a non-disclosure-agreement, according to DND/Ministry of National Defence. Refuse to define the agreement as an NDA, but argue the contents are confidential. Trudeau refuses to explain at G20. Canadian taxpayers will pay, but find out nothing(?) about what was negotiated and will the Admiral be free to share with Canadians what he experienced during the public shaming and cruelty he and his family experienced? Will we ever find out what the entire false attack on Admiral Norman cost taxpayers, or is that confidential as well?
At the core of the Admiral Norman case is The MV Asterix. Purchased by : Federal Fleet Services (a sister company to Davie Shipbuilding) Asterix was a commercial container ship converted into a Canadian Navy supply ship and brought in on time and on budget. The ship is doing tremendous service for the RCN. We find out about the MV Asterix which remains owned by Federal Fleet Services and is leased to the RCN for 10 years.

Chronic pain patients number in the many millions in the United States. In the U.S. the CDC recently issued a clarification about the opioids guidelines it released in 2016, reminding they were never intended as a mandated approach to denying pain patients their prescription medication. The U.S. Surgeon General has as well warned against pain patients being arbitrarily tapered and/or denied their medications. The FDA has issued a similar warning. The American Academy of Family Physicians (representing some 560,000 doctors) is calling for an end to interference by governments and government agencies in the relationship between doctors and their patients. This is causing pain patients to be denied their medication which forces them to live in agony, reach for illegal street drugs to combat their pain or even going so far as to committing suicide.

The Roy Green Show Podcast

Bob Mitchell is an Albertan and a 45-year veteran of the Alberta oil fields. Mr. Mitchell has traveled the world's oil producing regions. After several conversations with him about the challenges of being in the oil sands business, Roy invited him on the show, to share a message for his fellow Canadians.
Last weekend, Premiers Jason Kenney of Alberta and Blaine Higgs of New Brunswick both spoke on the program about equalization payments to Quebec and the Premier of Quebec Francois Legault maintaining he doesn't want oil from the West crossing the province in a new state-of-the-art pipeline (Energy East) delivering such oil & products to New Brunswick’s Irving refinery in St. John.
A look back to last December and a Leger poll of Quebec residents for the Montreal Economic Institute on the issue of Alberta oil and a pipeline crossing the province shows a very different picture as Quebecers support both Alberta oil and a pipeline. It’s time to revisit the results of the Leger poll.
Will TMX be the final pipeline for Canada? And have C-69 and C-48 kneecapped Canada's economy? Running $20 billion deficits with the national debt approaching $700 billion (in supposed good times) where will the revenue come from to pay for Canada's social programs, health care, pensions and more with the Canadian energy industry (AB & SK) locked up, while foreign energy (oil) remains welcome in tanker-happy Eastern Canada?
A Canadian mayor is sounding the alarm … again. Mayor Lori Ackerman of the City of Fort St. John, British Columbia appeared before Canada's Senate on May 13 this year during the Senate hearings on Bill C-69. With the Canadian Senate signing off on C-69 (the Impact Assessment Act and the Canadian Energy Regulator Act) and C-48 the oil tanker ban bill (B.C.), what awaits?
Global News broke the story of controversial appointments made by Ontario Premier Doug Ford's office. They include 26-year-old Tyler Albrecht, a friend of the son of, until yesterday, Ford's Chief of Staff Dean French. Albrecht's job would have consisted of being an agent-general for Ontario based in New York City and would came with a $164,000 salary. Global News also found another possible connection exists between French and Taylor Shields, who’s based in London and is a cousin of French's wife. Both appointments were cancelled by the Ontario Premier. And the Danforth mass shooting in Toronto leaves many questions unanswered. Roy’s guest has focused his coverage on the shooting and subsequent police investigation since it took place.

Her name is Lee Lowrie. She is a resident of Nanaimo, British Columbia who has never had any difficulties with the law or police. Not until 5 RCMP officers arrived at her home (invited by Ms. Lowrie after receiving a call from the Mounties that they wanted to see her). Police charged Lowrie with impaired driving....hours after she had arrived home and consumed a few beers. She and her boyfriend had stopped on the way home for lunch and had each consumed 'one' cocktail. Lowrie's driver's licence was suspended for 90 days and her vehicle impounded for 30 days. She won her case in court, but the ordeal cost her $3500.

The report card gives the Liberals and overall F grade. And: Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion (who was appointed by Liberals without input from opposition parties, thereby breaking parliamentary law) won't have his report on any ethical lapses by the government ready before the house rises for the summer in mid-June. So no chance to address Dion's eventual findings in parliament. Convenient?
The Supreme Court of Canada ruled 3-2 that the convictions of a Toronto man found by police with a gun and drugs must be thrown out because police were in violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms when they entered a private yard where men were engaged in conversation.

The SCC ruled this case is of particular importance to neighbourhoods with large visible minority populations. Two lower courts supported the police actions.

Chronic pain (agony) patients are the collateral damage of the opioid crisis.

Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada Lisa Raitt joins Roy to start the podcast to discuss the B.C. Court of Appeal’s decision on the Trans Mountain Pipeline, her expectations for Monday's announcements by Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott regarding their political futures, and the CPC’s plans for a national energy corridor.
Roy talks to Sean Simpson, the vice-president of Ipsos, to find out more about the Global News poll on racism in Canada and component parts. The Ipsos poll found that nearly 50% of Canadians believe racist thoughts are normal. And then Roy speaks with Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, to get his take on the Concerns about Muslims as targets for racism.
Stephen LeDrew, the former President of the Liberal Party of Canada, joins the podcast to speak on the B.C.

Do refs make 'even up' calls? Ron Foxcroft gives Roy his perspective as one of the top 50 sports official in the world (named by Referee magazine.)
The Federal Lobbying Commissioner ruled that MPs and Senators have placed loopholes in federal ethics rules, to allow lobbyists to bribe them with travel junkets. In 2018, 77 MPs accepted unethical trip gifts. Roy gets more on this from Duff Conacher of Democracy Watch.

The Admiral Norman case. MPs from all parties agreed to apologize to Admiral Mark Norman, but before the motion was passed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Minister of Defence Harjit Sajjan walked out. Liberal dominated parliamentary defence committee refused to call Admiral Norman to testify before the committee, even though what he might have been able to speak to would have been severely restricted. What still lies ahead as far as the Admiral Norman case is concerned and: Justin Trudeau worries about U.S. states passing anti-abortion legislation. Such legislation won't see the light of day in Canada, so why is Trudeau suggesting he worries?

Conservative MP Erin O'Toole, along with Jason Kenney and Peter MacKay, was one of the three former Harper government cabinet ministers who spoke with Marie Henein, lead lawyer for Admiral Mark Norman. Did the information they provided cause the prosecution to stay the charge against the Admiral? The RCMP failed to interview the former federal ministers, although Peter MacKay told us yesterday the RCMP did speak with him about a very narrow focus.

The Canada Terrorism Threat Report has been revised. When it was first issued in December, it identified attackers "inspired by violent Sunni Islamist ideology" as the main terrorist threat to Canada.
Now in the revised version of the report the federal government has removed all references to Islamist extremism: Sunni (Islamic State) and Shia (Hezbollah). Also gone is the section headings on both types of terrorism. Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale's office argues the December version of the report "unintentionally maligned certain communities" and the revision of the report was to deliver a "bias-free approach" to terminology, adding "the impact of these terms may not be readily apparent to some who come from places of privilege, who seldom experience judgement based on skin colour or religion alone." Tom Quiggin. Court (federal and criminal) qualified expert on terrorism takes issue with this, and he explains why.

The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal decided 3-2 against the province's challenge. They ruled that the federal government has the constitutional right to impose a carbon tax on the province. Now Saskatchewan will appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. Premier Scott Moe joins Roy to give his thoughts on what is next, and on the division in Canada. Meanwhile, Dan Kelly, President and CEO of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, was extremely disappointed by the ruling. He has written an op-ed piece in which he says Ottawa is leaving small businesses to pay the heaviest price for its climate agenda.
Is Canada closing in on a real constitutional crisis? If Alberta, its new Premier and his government decides to put Bill B-12 in play and close the taps to oil shipments from the province to British Columbia, we may very well be. But such a move would be in retaliation for the B.C. government's opposition to TMX and increased pipelines crossing the province from Alberta to tidewater for export to international markets. We ask two opinion journalists – Lorne Gunter from Alberta and Mike Smyth from British Columbia – for their takes on the provincial tensions, how we got here and what might come next.
During a protest against the Ford government some protestors brought out a guillotine and staged a mock execution of Ontario Premier Doug Ford at Queens Park in Toronto. The Premier and his government have spoken out against this action, as have as other politicians like federal NDP MP Charlie Angus. The father of an autistic student sent an email to the provincial NDP leader and a teacher's union leader, describing how the mock execution is causing extreme distress for his son who considers Premier Ford to be his friend.
The Angus Reid Institute writes, following national polling, that Liberal support continues to drop as left-of-centre voters search for alternatives.

Marcel Bonneau is a resident of Saskatchewan who contacted Roy Green after hearing two segments of the program.
His late brother was a CAF veteran and served two tours in Afghanistan and more than 20 years in the professional military. Marcel's brother described Afghan translators who served with CAF troops on the front lines of battle with insurgents as "heroes." Marcel insists his brother would want the federal government to bring the translators and their families to Canada as residents of this country.
Following a segment on chronic pain patients, Marcel reveals his hand was surgically reattached last year and wonders why he will have to pay out of pocket for medical marijuana to fight intense and debilitating pain as nerves in his attached hand become active again.

The world is reeling after a deadly attack on Muslim worshippers in New Zealand. The shootings at two mosques in Christchurch left 50 people dead and dozens injured. First, Roy is joined by Raheel Raza to try and comprehend the senseless violence that unfolded on Friday. And then Roy is joined by Professor Mohammad Fadel, who is an expert on the subject of islamophobia, to speak about the political climate that has contributed to the rise of racist violence.
And houses of worship have seemingly become targets for those who wish to commit the most evil acts of violence. Imam Luqman Ahmed says that attacks like the ones in New Zealand on Friday are caused by misconceptions about Muslims and the Islamic faith. He joins the podcast to elaborate on this.
A Leger Marketing poll for the Journal de Montreal has found that more Quebec voters are beginning to turn away from the Liberals and are shifting their support to the CPC. The poll also found that support for the Greens has almost doubled, while the NDP, Bloc Quebecois and PPC are all seeing a decline in supporters. Roy gets more on this from Christian Bourque, Executive VP, Leger Marketing. Meanwhile, the Liberals on the parliamentary justice committee quickly shut down an emergency meeting that was called by opposition parties who were looking to call Jody Wilson-Raybould back to speak before the committee. Yet in a letter to constituents on Thursday, Wilson-Raybould made it clear that she intends to run again as a Liberal Party candidate in the October federal election. Michael Cooper, CPC MP and member of the parliamentary justice committee speaks with Roy about these developments.
Graham is a 31-year-old Canadian who is suffering from chronic pain due to Lyme disease. He wrote a letter to Roy saying that his doctor is retiring and he’s afraid he’s going to become the next victim of the opioid epidemic.

Kate Nicholson is and activist and former chronic pain patient as well as a former U.S. Justice Department civil rights attorney. She drafted the current regulations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and authored the op-ed piece: “Clampdown on opioids is hurting pain patients”, and contributed to a critical review "60 Minutes Fails to Represent Pain Patient Perspective.” Roy has invited both Graham and Kate to share their stories, and their insights on the crisis those with chronic pain face on a daily basis.

The Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs issued a news release that UBCIC Stands with Jody Wilson Raybould. However in recent days, a number of indigenous Chiefs across Canada have expressed disappointment that JWR declined an offer from Justin Trudeau to become the Indigenous Affairs Minister. Roy is joined by Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, of the UBCIC, to discuss the JWR/Trudeau/SNC-Lavalin situation.
Pierre Poilievre, CPC MP and Finance critic writes in a new opinion piece that the federal government can lift a government contract procurement ban on convicted corporate criminals with the stroke of a pen. In fact, the Trudeau government had already done with SNC in December, 2015, even though they had already been banned for the original corruption charges. MP Poilievre elaborates on this.

Did Jody Wilson-Raybould drop the ball by not reporting PMO/PM interference over SNC immediately? Duff Conacher, co-founder of Democracy Watch, addressed this in a Toronto Star op ed column. He argues that as Attorney General for Canada, Jody Wilson-Raybould should have reported to the RCMP that she was being interfered with as soon as the interference from PMO/Trudeau began.

A recent email from Afghanistan communicated that a former Afghan interpreter for Canada's military has been executed by the Taliban. This highlights the increasing urgency to permit the former interpreters to come to Canada and build a life here. The current federal government is showing zero interest in doing so and the Harper government opened only a very brief window for interpreters to apply during the Afghanistan mission in 2011. Toronto Sun columnist Joe Warmington, encountered Ahmed Hussen – the federal Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Refugees – this week, and raised the issue of the interpreters withhim.

Conservative Party of Canada MP/Deputy leader Lisa Raitt subjected Gerald Butts and Michael Wernick to what could be described as withering questioning at the parliamentary Justice Committee hearing this week. Meanwhile Liberals with the majority on the committee voted down a motion to have Jody Wilson-Raybould return to testify at the committee next week. As well, the Liberal MPs voted against a Lisa Raitt motion calling on Butts to produce all texts and emails with his staff on the JWR matter. MP Lisa Raitt shares her takeaway from the experience.
On the day following International Women's Day we engage our show panel of very accomplished Canadian women on the number 1 news story in Canada to take on the news out of Ottawa this week. From the drama at the Parliamentary Justice Committee, to Trudeau’s newser and calls from the opposition for Trudeau to resign, Catherine Swift, Linda Leatherdale and Michelle Simson are ready to tackle what happens next and how Canada will be affected.
Former Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Brian Peckford is blogging about the current crisis in Ottawa. One blog piece is titled 'Why Aren't We Using the Words Right and Wrong? Have They Become Taboo, Too?' and the other is 'Thank God for SNC-Lavalin: We Might Never Have Known How Unethical This Federal Government Is.' Bian Peckford joins Roy to expand on the points he brought up in these posts.
How nasty does it get when an MP refuses to stand and vote with their own federal political party on principle? Our guest experienced this reality first hand. John Nunziata was a three term Liberal MP and member of the so-called "Rat Pack" with Sheila Copps. During the 1993 federal election the Liberal Party under Jean Chretien said they would abolish the GST if we're elected, and it became constantly repeated cornerstone election promise. But as soon as the Liberals were elected to form a majority government the "abolish the GST" promise evaporated. One Liberal MP alone decided to hold his party’s federal government accountable and declared he would vote against the government on its first budget bill, which was a confidence vote. Nunziata was kicked out of the Liberal Party and sat alone as an independent MP. Then, in 1997 Nunziata ran against the Liberal machine and their official candidate Judy Sgro in the York South-Weston riding of Toronto. Nunziata was reelected, defeating the Liberals who again won a strong majority government. John Nunziata joins the show to discuss his experience and what he believes Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott are experiencing from their Liberal caucus mates and party leadership now.

Toronto criminal lawyer David Butt joins the show to discuss his Op Ed in the Globe & Mail, ‘Wilson-Raybould Crown prosecutor roots are a reason she speaks her truth to power.’ And might Trudeau/PMO intervention with Jody Wilson-Raybould lead to a charge of Obstructing Justice charge, and what must the Crown go through before considering such a charge?

Jody Wilson-Raybould's testimony before the parliamentary justice committee on Wednesday rocked the Trudeau government. The Prime Minister said he "completely disagrees with the former Attorney General's characterizations of events." The attacks on Wilson-Raybould and her credibility have since begun while Canadians have largely expressed strong support for the former Attorney General. Roy speaks with Chief Bill Wilson, Kwakwaka’wakw hereditary chief and Jodie Wilson-Raybould’s father, about how the Trudeau Liberals and others have reacted to his daughter’s testimony. One of the reactions to Jody Wilson-Raybould’s testimony came from Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer, who declared that he was "sickened and appalled" and immediately called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign. The Conservative Party’s leader joins Roy to discuss what comes next.
Canadians are becoming increasingly familiar with the story around a criminal charge against Vice Admiral Mark Norman, and his removal from command. Norman has been charged with breach of trust for allegedly leaking cabinet information concerning the acquisition of a much needed supply ship for the Canadian Navy. Now Admiral Norman's lawyers—led by Marie Heinen—are zeroing in on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Gerald Butts, Trudeau Chief of Staff Katie Telford, Clerk of the Privy Council Michael Wernick, and Zita Astravas, former issues manager in the PM's Office and now chief of staff to Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan. Brian Platt covered this for the National Post.
From May 2012 - November 2014, the Charbonneau Commission investigated the infiltration of Quebec’s construction industry by crime groups. It resulted in 66,000 pages of transcript, with the Mafia and Hells Angels identified as major players. SNC-Lavalin surfaced here as well as the company had been illegally delivering funds to Quebec politicians it favoured. A "Strawman" practice was engaged where SNC employees and their family members, some earning as little as $32,000 per year, donated up to $1000 to either the provincial Liberals or Parti Quebecois. Between 1998 and 2010 $1 million had been 'donated.' It was understood that the company would reimburse these political party gifts at the end of the year through performance bonuses for those employees. Antonio Nicaso is an expert on organized crime who testified before the Charbonneau Commission. He and Roy now discuss corruption in Quebec, and the concerns surrounding SNC-Lavalin.
How is the SNC-Lavalin Affair viewed outside Canada's borders? The New York Times published a story titled: The Strange Story Behind the SNC-Lavalin Affair, in which writer Ian Austen takes apart the Affair in point form.

Yesterday Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs and CPC leader Andrew Scheer participated at a pipeline capacity increase rally at Moosomin, Saskatchewan. The point was to draw attention to the controversial Bill C-69 which will create major changes to review of proposed energy projects. Meanwhile, the Saskatchewan court challenge of the Trudeau government's imposition of a carbon tax on the province is currently underway. And Premier Blaine Higgs insists the Energy East pipeline construction issue must be revisited as his province experiences daily the importation of hundreds of thousands of barrels of foreign oil for New Brunswick refineries like the Irving refinery in Saint John. Premiers Scott Moe and Blaine Higgs join Roy to start the podcast, and discuss these issues.
What does happen when an MP refuses an offer or refuses to buckle under pressure from the party leader and party whip who demand that MP end a personal practice? The story of former Liberal MP Michelle Simson answers that question. She was posting all of her MP expenses online, and she was sanctioned by party leadership for refusing to end this practice. Michelle joins fellow former Liberal MP Dan McTeague, to discuss the current state of the Liberal party and how she was handled.
We touch base again with the organizers of the 80+ strong United We Roll truck convoy which left Red Deer, Alberta earlier in the week and now is in Ontario. The convoy is making its way to Ottawa for a protest rally on Tuesday, to alert the federal government to the economic plight of many thousands who work in the Western Canadian energy sector and to challenge Bills C-69 and C-48.
And if a parliamentary ethics commissioner finds wrongdoing what is the actual penalty? Parliamentary ethics commissioner Mario Dion has announced an investigation into whether Justin Trudeau/the PMO pressured former Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould to persuade federal prosecutors to not go forward with a criminal trial of SNC-Lavalin. Former Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Brian Peckford writes on his blog: "As usual we go through the motions, trying to maintain that such 'motions' constitute real accountability. The falsity of it all is breathtaking."

Empire star Jussie Smollett appeared on Good Morning America on Thursday and told Robin Roberts that he believed it he was attacked by two men because of his anti-Donald Trump public position. The attackers reportedly shouted racist and homophobic slogans while pouring a noxious substance over Smollett and putting a rope around his neck.
But now sources close to the investigation have told CBS and CNN that the two men arrested in the connection to the attack, Nigerian brothers who are cooperating with Chicago police, have claimed that Smollett paid them for a staged attack. According to Global News, Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told CBS Chicago they “can confirm that the information received from the individuals questioned by police earlier in the Empire case has in fact shifted the trajectory of the investigation.”
This all raises a big question: why would Smollett or anyone want to stage an attack on themselves?

The PMO/SNC-Lavalin/Justin Trudeau/Jody Wilson Raybould questions continue to gain momentum and national traction. Conservative Party of Canada leader Andrew Scheer joins the show to provide the CPC perspective and assessment. An online poll published by Macleans shows 73% of Canadians say Jody Wilson-Raybould has the most credibility, and 27% say Justin Trudeau does.
What is the reaction from the Indigenous community of Canada to the question all of Canada wants to know the truth about? And how are Trudeau's changing claims and his treatment of Jody Wilson-Raybould being received by the indigenous community? Calvin Helin, lawyer and son of a B.C. hereditary Chief, speaks to Roy about this.
Eleven-year-old Riya Rajkumar was murdered on her 11th birthday, Valentine's Day. Her 41 year old father Roopesh Rajkumar is facing a first degree murder charge. What went wrong on Valentine's Day evening? Did police miss an opportunity to perhaps save Riya? Toronto Sun columnist Joe Warmington writes today that even police are asking themselves that question. Across Canada, people are grieving over Riya’s senseless death.
The 'United We Roll' Convoy left Red Deer, Alberta, two days ago and is making its way to Ottawa. It is scheduled to arrive next Tuesday.

Organizers hope more trucks will join the convoy as it approaches Ottawa. Convoy organizer’s Glen Carritt and Mark Friesen join the show from their trucks on the road, outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Global News analysis reveals provinces across Canada largely fail to successfully tackle these financial crimes, with roughly three quarters of people accused going free. The conviction rate is about 27%. "It's scandalous" said forensic accountant Matt McGuire, who previously worked for FINTRAC, Canada's watchdog against money laundering. "It's quite clear the system isn't working. It's mind boggling." Roy is joined by Andrew Russel, the national online investigative journalist with Global News who covered this story. In B.C., opinion is strongly in favour of a public inquiry into organized crime and money laundering in the province. In fact, in a province-wide poll conducted by IPSOS for Global News, a B.C. money laundering public inquiry is backed by every demographic that was asked. Roy speaks with CKNW host and columnist with the Vancouver Province Mike Smyth, and later with Vice President of IPSOS Sean Simson
The campaign for the October 21 federal election is clearly unofficially already underway. Two key regions in Canada for the vote are the Western provinces and Quebec. Angus Reid polling continues its review of Western Canadian attitude with its most recent polling release showing voters west of Ontario are open to a new 'Western Canada Party.' What does the poll reveal and what are the broader implications of the numbers? Leger polling in Quebec shows the Trudeau Liberals have a very comfortable lead among Quebec voters, while Andrew Scheer's Conservatives manages only to effectively come in tied with the separatist and resurgent Bloc Quebecois. What's going in Quebec?
Do you have a common cold or the flu? That is the same question we find ourselves asking every year around this time. Jaston Tetro, a.k.a. “The Germ Guy,” explains how to tell the difference.

Literally any day now an election may be called, one that is only second in importance to the October 21 federal election: Premier Rachel Notley must set an Alberta election date for no later than May 31. Who will Albertans most likely vote for? Rachel Notley and the NDP for a second term? Jason Kenney and the UCP, thereby establishing an even stronger provincial firewall against the federal Liberals and their carbon tax? How will the results affect the future of pipelines delivering Alberta oil to world markets?
A new book titled ‘Orange Chinook’ contains chapters written by politicians and intellectuals about what happened in 2015 to elect Notley and the NDP, and what lies ahead for Alberta in literally just weeks.

A Globe and Mail story declares anonymous sources revealed the Prime Minister’s Office attempted to interfere with the duties of former federal Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould, by pressuring her to intervene with the Public Prosecution Service of Canada and halt criminal prosecution of Montreal-based international engineering giant SNC-Lavalin, in favour of some type of remediation. Our first guest, Conservative Party of Canada leader Andrew Scheer, is demanding a parliamentary emergency meeting over the Trudeau/SNC-Lavalin allegation. And later Roy speaks with David Butt, Criminal lawyer and former prosecutor, about the available options that would permit Jody Wison-Raybould to answer the questions about any suggested interference. Meanwhile, Democracy Watch has released a letter to federal Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion, insisting he delegate any investigation to a provincial ethics commissioner because Dion, in their words, was “chosen” by the Trudeau cabinet without consultation with opposition parties as required by the Parliament of Canada Act. Duff Conacher, the co-founder of Democracy Watch and adjunct professor of law and political science at the University of Ottaway, joins the show.
Serial killer Bruce McArthur and Quebec City mosque mass killer Alexandre Bissonnette were sentenced yesterday. Both pleaded guilty, yet McArthur received no consecutive sentences, and Bissonnette’s consecutive sentences were altered. McArthur will be eligible to request parole at age 91 and Bissonnette who was sentenced to life, will nevertheless be eligible for parole in 40 years at age 69. Many are asking, Why were there no clear-cut consecutive life sentences? Scott Newark joins the show to discuss these two cases, as well as that of Clinton Gayle. Gayle was convicted of first degree murder in the 1994 killing of Toronto police officer Todd Baylis and of attempted murder of Baylis' partner Constable Mike Leone. The murder trial judge declared Gayle killed Officer Baylis in "execution style" with a shot from short range. Gayle becomes eligible for parole in June of this year. There is a petition and national drive underway to keep him in prison for life. Scott Newark also weighs in on the news that Omar Khadr wants an Alberta youth court to declare his sentence to be expired.

Western Canada does not feel it is being treated fairly. Angus Reid conducted a national poll which we spoke about with Shachi Kurl, exec director of Angus Reid last weekend. And this past Wednesday, David Akin wrote an in-depth piece on the poll for Global News: Canadians in the West More Than Those in the East Feel That Ottawa Doesn't Treat Them Fairly. Today we get a western premier’s take on this: Scott Moe, Premier of Saskatchewan, joins the conversation with Roy Green.
Vivian Krause is a researcher who revealed the money trail from U.S. entities to Canadian environmentalist Non-Governmental Organizations, to keep Alberta oil from international markets and maintaining the U.S. monopoly on Canadian oil. Now, there are reports that NGO's plan to lobby Senators to nix a cross-country tour to hear Canadians views on federal environmental legislation. So who is funding these NGO's? Vivian Krause weighs in.
Reports from the U.K. media say British security services are resurrecting Cold War plans to evacuate the Queen and Royal Family from London should there be a 'hard Brexit' followed by rioting in London. British military reservists have also been placed on standby alert. Professor Alan Sked is the founder of UKIP and has been dubbed “the man, without whom, there would be no Brexit.” He offers his opinions on what has become of the movement, and on these reported preparations. And then Roy is joined by Swiss member of parliament Luzi Stamm to discuss the importance and value of referenda and what is happening in the U.K. In Switzerland several referenda are conducted annually, the results of which are constitutionally binding on the Swiss federal government. Whereas various factions in the U.K. are trying to upend the Brexit referendum decision, even though the British people voted by majority to exit the European Union.

Carol and Lyle Brons are the parents of 24-year-old Dayna Brons, athletic therapist for the Humboldt Broncos who was among those killed in the horrific bus crash in Saskatchewan last year. They talk about the week-long sentencing hearing for Jaskarit Singh Sidhu in Melfort, Saskatchewan and the heartbreak of the families who lost loved ones or experienced loved ones suffering life-altering injuries.
Scott Newark, former Alberta prosecutor and executive director of Canadian Police Association, speaks on the seven week wait for Jaskarit Singh Sidhu’s sentence to be delivered. Why put the families through two months of emotionally being left on hold? Singh Sidhu will likely be deported as well, but he will have direct say in when that happens.
Stephen Laskowski, President of the Canadian Trucking Alliance, discusses Canada's trucking industry as Canada watches the Humboldt Broncos crash sentencing. What is the horror of that tragedy signaling to Canada's trucking industry? What needs to be done in terms of licensing and regulations, especially when it comes to companies that are ignoring safety standards?
This week, Bruce McArthur pleaded guilty to eight counts of first-degree murder in connection with a decade of homicides tied to Toronto’s gay village.

Canada has taken the lead in refugee settlement for the first time in 72 years, according to new data compiled by a researcher at the University of Calgary. In 2018, Canada received more planned refugees than any other country. Is it fair that Canada is shouldering so much of the worldwide refugee resettlement burden?
We’ve been hearing about them for weeks now – the Yellow Vest protesters. Who are they? We know the movement started in France in response to fuel tax hikes, but what message is behind the movement that has established itself in Canada? Roy speaks with Mark Friesen, a Yellow Vest organizer from Saskatchewan, to get an idea of what the movement in Canada is all about. Mark is also an organizer of the truck convoy that is planning to travel from Alberta to Ottawa to protest numerous policies of the Trudeau government. And then, Roy is joined by a University of Western Ontario professor who says northern countries are under pressure from the United Nations Agenda on Social Development, which includes the Compact on Migration. Professor Salim Mansur wrote a column in the American Thinker entitled ‘Justin Trudeau's Canada Embraces a World Without Borders’.
Lyle and Carol Brons are the parents of the Humboldt Broncos’ athletic therapist Dayna Brons, who lost her life in the horrific bus crash last April. They join Roy to weigh in on the five days of sentencing hearings for Jaskarit Singh Sidhu that are scheduled to begin tomorrow. Singh Sidhu has pleaded guilty to all criminal charges related to the deaths and injuries on the Broncos team bus, which was struck by the massive semi-truck he was driving.
We often discuss the perpetrators of crime in Canada, but what about the victims? Roy is joined by a pair of guests to discuss what victims of crime face when dealing with the justice system and how it both works and doesn’t work.
When Joe Wamback’s son Jonathan was 15 years old, he was horribly beaten by a gang in a park directly across from the family home in Newmarket, Ontario. Since then, Joe and his wife Lozanne have devoted their lives to working with and for victims of crime. In 2012, Joe walked across Canada to raise awareness of crime and victims. He’s appeared before parliament and the Senate, and has organized events across Canada for crime victims. Scott Newark is a friend of the show and a frequent guest with years of experience dealing with the Canadian justice system. He’s a former Alberta crown prosecutor, former executive director of the Ontario Office for Victims of Crime and former senior policy advisor to a federal Minister for Public Safety.
Roy, Joe and Scott are later joined by Jessie Melo, the daughter of Canadian boxer Eddie "The Hurricane" Melo who was murdered in a contract killing by Charles Gagne. Melo’s killer is currently serving a life sentence with no eligibility for parole for 12 years at the Beaver Creek Institution in Gravenhurst, Ontario. Gagne, with numerous armed robberies on his record has received a 60-day work pass with no supervision required. Jessie Melo is furious about the work pass development, both with how secretively it’s been handled and that the prosecutor in Gagne's murder trial is now Gagne's chief booster.

The RCMP arrested two people during raids in Kingston, Ontario, in connection with a major national security probe this week. A youth is facing terrorism-related charges, while a 20-year-old man was released from custody without charges. Police have released very few details about the investigation. Roy speaks with Dr. Christian Leuprecht, who is a military expert and happens to live two blocks away from where one of the raids took place.
Later, Roy is joined by Lieutenant Colonel Steve Day to discuss threats to Canada’s national security, whether they’re beyond our borders or in the heart of our communities, and why he thinks the media may have dropped the ball on this particular case.
And what did we learn from the news conference put on by the RCMP on Friday? Not a whole lot, it would seem. Roy and Scott Newark discuss what we still do not know about the raids in Kingston.
Guests:

Canada’s vulnerable homeless population is at risk during the bitterly cold winter months and quite often, their voices go unheard in the national conversation.
This winter a Cambridge, Ontario resident is travelling across Ontario and living outdoors in 13 different cities across the province. It’s called the “90 Days & Nights in the Cold” campaign and its aim is to open people’s eyes to the plight of the homeless. Our guest Paul Tavares, spearheaded the “90 Days & Nights in the Cold” campaign, has been homeless twice in his life and gave up a secure union job to take on this campaign.
How easy is it for the average Canadian to become homeless? According to IPSOS polling, 46% of Canadians are just $200 away from being bankrupt. Darrell Bricker, President and CEO IPSOS, elaborates on these numbers and what it all means.
‘Helping Hamilton Homeless’ is a small group of community activists personally engaged to provide relief, warm clothing, food and support for the homeless in Hamilton. There are caring groups like this that exist in communities across Canada. Roy talks with the group's founder, Sharon Williamson, and her fellow board member Natasha Willis

What to do with returning (or wanting to return) to Canada ISIS terrorists who left this nation to become ISIS terrorists and participate in gruesome violence? Some argue reintegration into Canadian society without criminal charges is the best approach. Others demand criminal charges and prison time if convicted, pointing out we are still pursuing the few still living Nazi World War II criminals. Our guest Tom Quiggin has had his expertise on the "reliability of intelligence as evidence" recognized by the Federal Court of Canada. He joins Roy to discuss.
Celia Walden joins Roy to discuss her newest international newspaper column this week: ‘Enough man-bashing - traditional masculinity is not toxic.’
U.S. President Donald Trump made a televised offer to Democrats in Congress, regarding border security and the government shutdown, yesterday. This in the midst of the very public fight between President Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, with Pelosi urging Trump to delay his State of the Union Address and Trump cancelling Pelosi's plan to use a military aircraft for a series of foreign visits, including visiting troops in Afghanistan. Roy and public diplomacy expert William Ogborn cover these topics as well as Brexit and Canada’s relations with China, among other things.

What impact may last week's protests against the British Columbia LNG megaproject have, along with images of heavily armed police removing First Nations protesters? And how will these events affect Prime Minister Trudeau and Premier Horgan? They both have enthusiastically tied their flags to the project. And what should we expect from the upcoming by-election in Burnaby for federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh. Could Singh lose and throw the party into leadership chaos?
Tuesday's vote in the British parliament could sink the government of Prime Minister Theresa May and possibly lead to a general election and a repeat of the Brexit referendum. Some of May's own Conservative MPs and the speaker of the British parliament have turned on her. Canada is meanwhile holding informal trade talks with the U.K. which would become formal if Britain exits the EU at the end of March.
A B.C. couple is criminally charged after hog-tying a man they accuse of trying to lure their 13-year-old daughter into sex. Former Alberta Prosecutor Scott Newark weighs in on the story, and shares his experience working with the Toronto Sex Crimes division of the Toronto police. And then we turn our attention to Canada's new drunk driving law. Yesterday Toronto criminal lawyer Ari Goldkind defended police having the right to demand a breathalyzer at your home up to two hours after you're alleged to have driven. If you drove sober, had a drink or two in the two hours after you arrived home and a breathalyzer is required by law, you could find yourself charged with DUI.

A multi-year study by the American Psychological Association has concluded traditional masculinity is harmful to boys and men. Traditional masculinity ideology links "constricted notions of masculinity" to aggression, homophobia and misogyny, saying such notions "may influence boys to direct a great deal of their energy into disruptive behaviours such as bullying, homosexual taunting and sexual harassment rather than healthy academic and extracurricular activities."

Earlier this week in court in Saskatchewan, Jaskarit Singh Sidhu pleaded guilty to all 29 charges related to the horrific crash between his B-train semi-truck and a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team. The families of all who lost their lives or were injured in the collision will now be spared a trial, which Sidhu's lawyer suggests is what Sidhu wanted. Roy talks to Scott Thomas, a father who lost his son in the crash. Later, Roy asks Scott Newark what sentence might Jaskarit Singh Sidhu expect, and how much influence will Victims’ Impact Statements might have on the sentencing?
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said nothing of significance about Canada’s oil industry and energy sector, while in Regina earlier in the week. He also said nothing reassuring to foreign investors who have written to him, urging him to support the oil sands. All the while, there remains the issue of the rights of First Nations, regarding pipeline construction and natural resources development.
Our guest argues that the planned convoy of trucks from Red Deer, Alberta, to Ottawa, to deliver a noisy protest against federal policies and legislation placed in the way of pipelines is the wrong approach. Roy speaks with Ken Coates, to find out why he believes there should instead be a massive convoy of tanker trucks, filled to the brim with oil, making their way to Alberta and deliver that oil to Vancouver.
Canada granted asylum to a Saudi teen who fled alleged family abuse. The teen's claim is she is being abused by her family and if she had been forced to return, she would have been killed.

Drunk driving laws are changing in Canada, and many in the legal profession consider this a violation of civil rights.

Roy talked with a clearly frustrated and angry Scott Moe, Premier of Saskatchewan. The Premier had learned that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had stated in a year-end interview that “there is no project on the table” for resuming the Energy East pipeline. The Prime Minister when on to say that “there is clarity under the current approach, there is no support for a pipeline through Quebec.” Obviously, this sentiment does not sit well with many people, as it seems like Quebec makes the decision as far as Canada’s Prime Minister is concerned. Roy plays back his conversation with Premier Moe.

The company is not just in the news because of the arrest of the company's CFO in Canada. Global News reports that former Prime Minister Stephen Harper says the U.S. has encouraged western allies "to essentially push Huwei out of the emerging 5G network.” He added “my personal view is that that is something western countries should be doing in terms of our long-term security issues." And then Roy speaks with Scott Newark, on the political and legal side of the Huawei issue. China's state media lashes out at Canada over arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou and warns Canada of "serious consequences" with the Chinese government summoning Canadian Ambassador John McCallum.

There are growing tensions in Montreal at the First Ministers’ conference. Brian Peckford, the former Newfoundland & Labrador Premier, gives us his view of the bitterness which exists between Ottawa and provincial capitals today. Is this the way things have always been? Later, Lawrence Solomon joins Roy to discuss what would happen if Alberta turned separatist. In a Financial Post column, Solomon argues that Alberta would have great leverage over the rest of Canada as an independent nation, regardless of being landlocked. The mood going in to the First Ministers’ conference in Montreal was not particularly positive. Multiple provinces challenged the Trudeau government on issues such as carbon tax and the lack of a proper plan for Canada's tremendous energy resources. Bill C-69 a particularly contentious issue. Scott Moe, Premier of Saskatchewan, tells Roy his takeaway from the conference.
An increasing number of nations are refusing to ratify the U.N. Compact for global migration, including the United States, Australia, Austria, Hungary and Poland. Canada will sign the compact. Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer has spoken out against it. Maxime Bernier, founder and leader of the People’s Party of Canada, is also outspokenly against the compact, and he tells us why. And then Roy speaks with Professor Salim Mansur of the University of Western Ontario, who has received a great deal of attention for his views about the Compact for migration. He is concerned that Canada will become part of a borderless 21st Century world under U.N. control in which there will be no room for a free press or freedom of speech. Meanwhile, Switzerland has decided it too will not ratify the U.N. Compact on Migration. The country was supportive and was prepared to sign on, but now will instead wait for the outcome of the debates on the issue in the Swiss parliament. Luzi Stamm, Member of the Swiss parliament for the Swiss People’s Party, explains why there was this change of heart.

Trudeau, through his press secretary, sent the reply that he does "not recall any negative interactions," to the request by Buzzfeed.com reporter Ishmael Daro, for information about what took place at the B.C. festival. Trudeau at the time apologized to the reporter. "If I had known you were reporting for a national paper I never would have been so forward."
Guests: Ishmael Daro, reporter for Buzzfeed.com Michelle Simson, former Liberal Member of Parliament and Trudeau’s seatmate.
Callers: The National Post, where the female reporter works, is running a story labeled, "Why an 18-year-old groping allegation against Justin Trudeau is not a #MeToo moment." Is the NP running cover for Trudeau?

Correctional Service Canada has started a needle exchange program to begin in Canadian prisons. Is this beneficial for inmates or does it bring too much unnecessary risk to the prisoners and to the guards?
As well, the Canada Border Services Agency has moved border officers from other posts to Quebec City, in response to the thousands of illegal border crossings from the U.S.
And Hassen Diab is a Lebanese-Canadian citizen and university professor who France alleged was behind a 1980 terrorist attack on a Paris synagogue that killed four people. France issued an extradition request which was granted by a federal court. Diab was extradited in 2014 and imprisoned for three years before France returned him to Canada with no French charges laid. Our guest Scott Newark wrote a column for InvestigativeProject.org questioning how the extradition of Hassen Diab was handled and whether or not it should have ever taken place.

Major General David Fraser was commanding officer for the largest battle in NATO history, Operation Medusa. Much of the information about this historic 2006 battle against the Taliban has never made its way to the public. Major General Fraser is now bringing the story of Operation Medusa to light with his new book, 'Operation Medusa: The Furious Battle That Saved Afghanistan from the Taliban'
And now that Taliban are in control of 75% of Afghanistan, what importance does Operation Medusa retain?

He also said that if Canadians are fighting each other over positive economic tools like pipelines, then Canada looks more risky to international investors.

Justin Trudeau recently challenged "hateful online rhetoric" against politicians, citing reports that Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has received 11 death threats during her 3 years in office. Elsewhere, Environment Minister Catherine McKenna has met with Twitter executives in an effort to push the online platform to be more attentive about what is posted about politicians.
Roy asks callers to weigh in on this issue and asks if politicians are setting a dangerous precedent - one that would lead to reasonable criticism being shut down.

In the ongoing dispute over the Trans Mountain pipeline, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says British Columbia’s legal question into potentially permitting oil coming into the province is a stalling tactic. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says the move would put Canada in “economic gridlock” if it succeeds.
Meanwhile in 2015, Eastern Canadian refineries were importing 650 barrels of oil per day from Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Angola, Algeria and more.
Roy asks callers - should the project be bought by the federal government? Who’s going to be hurt most by the continued delay of the pipeline expansion?

Veterans Affairs Canada is boasting about the great support the Trudeau government is providing Canada's military veterans, particularly those who are wounded and injured.
However, the veterans involved with the Equitas lawsuit - which sought to restore and protect disability pensions and benefits for veterans but was struck down late last year – would likely disagree with this assessment.
After all, when asked about the Equitas lawsuit during one of his town halls earlier this year, the prime minister said, "Why are we still fighting certain veterans groups in court? Because they're asking for more than we are able to give right now."
Guest: Major Mark Campbell, PPCLI, lost both legs to an IED attack in Afghanistan, member of the Equitas lawsuit

Justin Trudeau‘s government is being pushed by backbenchers and grassroots Liberals to decriminalize all illicit drugs, adopting a model similar to that used in Portugal where the emphasis is on getting drug users into treatment.

Increasing numbers of migrants are making their way into Quebec from New York State along the same road. Quebec has asked for help in dealing with the influx of migrants and starting next week, the federal government will set up a triage system to send migrants where they're hoping to go. If they'd prefer to be sent to Ontario instead of Quebec, they'll be sent there.
Is this really the solution? Why do we have borders if they don't actually mean anything?

"Why are we still fighting certain veterans groups in court? Because they're asking for more than we are able to give right now."
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said those words during his town hall in Edmonton on Thursday. He was referring to the Equitas lawsuit, which sought to restore and protect disability pensions and benefits for veterans but was struck down late last year.
Now the veterans and legal team behind the lawsuit are looking to take their class action complaint to the Supreme Court of Canada.

The poll also suggests that the more highly educated a person is, the more likely the person is to support the Democratic Party, while those with less education tend to support Republicans. Older people – age 55 and up – are more likely to think Trump is performing better than expected, while younger people are not.

2016 set a new record for total amount of worldwide e-waste at 45 million tonnes. That's equivalent to about 4,500 Eiffel Towers.
Among all of this are the phones, computers, tablets and televisions that we throw away. The raw materials of the discarded electronics are estimated to be worth nearly $65 billion due to the gold, silver, copper, platinum and palladium within the products. But only 8.9 million tonnes were collected and recycled, while most wound up in landfills. Many of these devices contain confidential corporate and personal information.

Finance Minister Bill Morneau is facing more and more questions over how he handled his personal fortune when he entered government in 2015.
Morneau continues to insist he followed the advice of the ethics commissioner to the letter after he was elected. He’s rejecting any suggestion of a conflict of interest.
What will likely happen to Bill Morneau? Should he resign?
Guest: Michelle Simson, former Liberal MP
Meanwhile, Finance Minister Bill Morneau has adjusted proposed rules for Canada's small business owners and operators. Has enough been done, or has Morneau lost the confidence of Canada's small business owners?
Guests: Dan Kelly, CEO and president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business Megz Reynolds, Saskatchewan farmer whose online post about Morneau's initial tax fairness plan went viral - More attention is being paid to concerns over antibiotics becoming ineffective, and the possibility of the end of modern medicine.
A study commissioned by former U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron predicted that an antibiotics crash will cost the world economy more than $100 trillion by 2050, and could cost millions of lives.
Guest: Jason Tetro, Canadian Microbiologist known as "The Germ Guy," author of The Germ Code
Raymond Caissie has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 17 years for killing Surrey, B.C. teen Serena Vermeersch in 2014.

Caissie had told the parole board he “would like to stay incarcerated for several more years,” saying he “feared he would re-offend.”

Three Canadians battling cancers which carried with them an assurance of death, according to their Canadian doctors, each requested different treatments – nanoknife pancreatic surgery for Hector MacMillan and Duane Ekert and DMSO & chemotherapy plus additional therapies by 17-year-old Justin Masotti to battle his rare form of brain cancer. They were all denied by Canada's medical system as 'experimental'.
MacMillan and Ekert flew to Germany for the nanoknife surgery by Dr. Matthias Birth, who has conducted more than 100 such surgeries, while Justin Masotti and his father Mike made their way to a Tijuana clinic in Mexico. MacMillan is back in Canada, Ekert is returning and Justin Masotti remains at the Mexican clinic. All are doing significantly better, yet provincial health care systems in Ontario and Saskatchewan refuse to fund their out of country medical expenses.

Donald Trump was 'not' elected President of the United States on November 8th. The election of Donald Trump will take place tomorrow and only if 270 of the 538 members of the Electoral College in the U.S. vote for Trump. In recent weeks, a recount of swing state votes failed and now Russians are accused of hacking the DNC under orders of Vladimir Putin.
Will enough GOP College voters turn against Trump tomorrow to deny him the presidency and turn the decision over to the House of Representatives?

CPC leadership candidate Dr. Kellie Leitch is suggesting regular national referendums, which would be entirely citizen-driven and in which a simple majority would determine whether new legislation would be required to be introduced and passed by the federal government, or existing legislation amended. Opponents are ridiculing the idea.
However, in Switzerland such citizen-driven referenda have been constitutional for 700 years and the Swiss people regularly 'instruct' their government on legislation to introduce or amend. Recent votes included a stop to mass immigration, a denial of a national guaranteed income and a refusal to purchase new fighter jets.

A first person story from the New York Post.com - "I was assaulted by 'peaceful' pipeline protesters”.
Irish independent documentary film maker Phelim McAleer went to North Dakota to witness the anti-pipeline protest. At first he was welcomed, but when he began asking tough questions the situation devolved into threats of direct violence. He and his crew sought refuge and were blocked in their vehicle. Their film was demanded. What would happen if they failed to turn it over? "We can't control what's gonna' happen next," was the threat. Repeated 911 calls and direct police intervention was required to extricate McAleer and his crew. He grew up in Northern Ireland and the violence there, but was very much afraid at the 'peaceful' anti-pipeline protest in North Dakota.

A Hamilton, Ontario family is appealing to the provincial government for funding as their teenage son undergoes treatment in Mexico for a rare form of brain cancer – Gliomatosis Cerebri – diagnosed in January. In June, 17-year-old Justin experienced two seizures and lost his eyesight. The prognosis: Justin was going to die. There was nothing to be done for him.
The family found a Mexican clinic using the experimental DMSO treatment, not covered by provincial health care. Justin's family paid $40,000 for an air ambulance for transport to Tijuana and now have been paying $13,000 a week for Justin's treatment. His health appears to be improving considerably but the Government of Ontario is refusing to assist the Masotti family, who is running out of money. OHIP's argument is that DMSO is experimental.

Trump or Clinton? To this first-time voter, it's not important. What is important, is what they stand for.
A first time voter, who recently came of the age of majority to be eligible to vote, has said that she is still undecided when it comes to who to vote for. However, that does not mean that she doesn't have enough information to make an educated decision. Instead of looking at the names, and making a decision, she is allowing for their platforms to speak for themselves.

She adds, "I have concluded I must leave my adult children behind and moved to a small prairie town in order to live in a community where a fifty-something Caucasian woman can feel including in the community."

Yesterday the issue of Canada and Canadian values and traditions came up during calls responding to the Donald Trump video. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau argues Canada has "no core identity" "no common denominator" and that Canada is a "post nation state."
Trudeau is still supported (according to polling) by over 50% of Canadians. Conservative Party leadership candidate Kellie Leitch calls for newcomers to Canada to be quizzed about their support for "Canadian values" and has been ripped by other conservatives and party leadership candidates.
If there is no "core Canadian identity", if Canada is "post nation state", if "Canadian values expected of newcomers' is or approaches racism, does Canada need retooling? Should Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas and Remembrance Day from the official calendar (for this post nation state)?

23% of the population of Switzerland is made up of foreigners. Net immigration is 1% of the nation's population, three times more than that of Germany. According to the EU, 230,000 foreign citizens cross the border to work in Switzerland every day. In 2009, the Swiss People's Party launched a national referendum initiative "against the construction of minarets" and won with 57.5% of the national popular vote. In 2010, the Swiss People's Party's national initiative to "expel criminal foreigners" also won, with 52% of the national vote. And in 2014, the Swiss People's Party's national initiative "against mass immigration" was also successful, with 50.3% of the national population supporting the initiative. Luzi Stamm, VP of the Swiss People's Party said after the vote that Switzerland should "have the right to control its own immigration." The European Commission issued a statement that it was "disappointed" in the Swiss decision on immigration. Just what does the Swiss decision mean for Europe and does it have implications for the rest of the Western world?

Canada has two official languages, English and French - yet in Vancouver, a condominium Strata Board has voted to conduct all its AGM business in Mandarin. Andreas Kargut, an English-only speaking condo owner in the 54 unit complex, is filing a human rights complaint which has been accepted by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.
In July it appeared meetings between lawyers for the Mandarin speaking condo owners and their English speaking counterparts had arrived at a solution which would have the AGM business conducted in English and translated into Mandarin. At the last moment, the Mandarin-speaking owners reportedly reneged. Board members issued a media release arguing conducting board business in Mandarin makes sense because Mandarin is the first language of Board members and the decision conforms with multiculturalism in Canada.

Hector MacMillan, the Mayor of Trent Hills, Ontario, has stage 4 pancreatic cancer and without immediate high tech surgery to excise the tumour he will die and quickly. In the U.S. the cancer is available in a matter of days, but OHIP won't pay for the Mayor's out of province surgery. Joe Warmington wrote in the Toronto Sun, that Mayor MacMillan tweeted he has been "essentially murdered by a corrupt, rigged political system." and "out of country funding program will pay to remove my penis, but not my cancer tumour." The Ontario Health Minister has responded to the Mayor by talking about "giving opportunities to individuals like yourself, particularly life-saving opportunities" re funding out-of-province health care" but only by "decisions based on best practices and science and evidence."

A provincial report declares Quebec's proposed Charter of Values has helped to radicalize young Muslims by making them feel left out of Quebec society.
Meanwhile, the federal government is going to open an office for de-radicalizing of individuals like Aaron Driver. What are the chances of success for such an office? It's been tried by other countries and without much success, particularly when governments get involved. Where do you begin with this kind of effort in order to gain any credibility with the people you're trying to de-radicalize? Is the focus going to be exclusively on radicalizing by ISIS/AQ, or will the office also focus on other individuals/groups who attempt tor radicalize?
Guest: Scott Newark. Following 9/11, he was named Ontario's Special Security Advisor and authored the province's perimeter security strategy.

Caster Semenya is favoured to win the Gold Medal in middle distance, but there is still talk about her much higher than usual testosterone levels for a woman. Some still argue she should be competing against men. The IAAF and IOC drafted regulations to limit the amount of natural testosterone allowed in the bodies of female athletes. After winning the 800 meters race at the World Championships in Berlin in 2009, Semenya was ordered to undergo a gender test by the IAAF.
Guest: Madeleine Pape, Olympic runner who supports Caster Semenya. She represented Australia in the 800 meter race during the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing and at the 2009 World Championship where she raced against Caster Semenya and lost to her.

Health Minister Jane Philpott is facing accusations that she misled the House of Commons by failing to disclose controversial limousine travel she charged to taxpayers earlier this year.
In a response to a question placed on the order paper by Conservative MP Dan Albas about the use of limousines, Philpott's department supplied an answer, signed by the minister, categorically denying any of the luxury vehicles were rented.
"With regard to government travel, for the period of Nov. 3, 2015, to April 22, 2016, the minister of health did not use rented limousines while on official business, within Canada or elsewhere," the department wrote in its answer tabled in the House of Commons in June.
However, Philpott has found herself in the opposition crosshairs this week after it was revealed that she charged taxpayers $1,700 for transportation around the Greater Toronto Area on March 31, using a limousine service owned by someone who campaigned for her in the federal election.

The latest in the U.S. election campaign - earlier in the week, Donald Trump told "Second Amendment people" they could deal with Hillary Clinton if she's elected POTUS and nominates left wing judges. Many in the Clinton campaign or its orbit interpreted Trump's statement as a direct threat to Clinton. On Wednesday, Trump announced Barack Obama to be "the founder of ISIS”.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton had additional emails surface, as well as evidence which seems to indicate individuals who contributed generously to the Clinton Foundation were then granted favourable access to the State Department.
Meanwhile, at a Clinton's rally in Orlando, the father of the gay nightclub mass murderer sat just behind Hillary Clinton and subsequently told media he'd been invited by the Clinton campaign.
And last night in Milwaukee rioting after police shot and killed a black man who refused to drop a firearm. Is Trump too proactively supporting police? Is Clinton kicking police to the curb?

The women police officers who have until now spoken about being sexually harassed/abused/assaulted and otherwise bullied have been mainly RCMP members and civilian employees.
Now, Roy speaks with a male 28 year veteran of the RCMP (retired), who is also the media relations director for the Mounted Police Professional Association, the union for RCMP members. Rob Creasser does not dispute that sexual harassment and bullying happen in the RCMP. In fact, he saw it while he was a police officer. Creasser blames this situation on RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson and senior officers who turn a blind eye to the toxic workplace the RCMP has become. He argues the RCMP needs an accredited Association to assure transparency and accountability. He also calls for collective bargaining for the RCMP, without the right to strike.

Earlier in the week, Donald Trump told “Second Amendment people” they could deal with Hillary Clinton if she’s elected POTUS and nominates left wing judges. Many in the Clinton campaign, or its orbit, interpreted Trump’s statement as a direct threat to Clinton. Wednesday, Trump announced Barack Obama to be “the founder of ISIS,” a statement Donald Trump instigated.
Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, former U.S. Navy Lt. Commander and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, joins the Roy Green Show to comment on the current US Election. This week we discuss his view of the still continuing verbal exchange between Donald Trump and Khizr Khan, the Muslim father of a U.S. military Captain killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq, and this week’s Trump/Clinton campaign developments.

Police are investigating if it's a hate crime issue.

On yesterday's program, Alison Azer offered a very person and direct message and challenge to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Alison challenged the PM to be a man and tell her the truth about why he and his government have deliberately decided to not take advantage of an opportunity the federal government had to have Iran return Alison's abducted by their father four Canadian children. In May, Justin Trudeau put his arms around Alison Azer and promised he would get her children back and that their file would remain on his desk until this objective is achieved. But, Alison told us, when Iran had Saren Azer detained on an INTERPOL warrant, Justin Trudeau's government interfered with the the process of having Alison's four Canadian children returned to this country and their mother.
Today, Roy replays Alison’s message to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

After a Durham Region cop pulled over a white woman and a black man outside of a motel. As an experienced member of the vice squad, the cop knew prostitutes plied their trade at this place. He played a hunch, stopped the car and asked the woman if she was a prostitute, and if she was in danger. She wasn't. The black man, a former member of Canada's national basketball team, was her boyfriend.
The cop smelled marijuana from the car and called for backup. The police found a digital scale, oxocodone, crack cocaine, powdered cocaine, and marijuana. A judge threw out the case and dismissed the "possession of a controlled substance charge" saying the cop violated Charter rights of the accused by stopping the car without proper cause.
Tom Stamatakis, President of the Canadian Police Association, stops by the Roy Green Show to comment on these stories.

Vancouver police investigate a possible hate crime. A man in Vancouver is punched in the mouth on a restaurant patio for speaking a foreign language (Turkish) and being shouted at by his alleged assailant that he was speaking in a “[bleep]ing foreign language.” The punch appears to have followed a vocal exchange at Starbucks on Thursday. The punched individual says he was not disturbing anyone.
In the U.K. failure by immigrants to learn the English language means being cut off government services. Does it bother you to hear people in Canada not speaking English (or French)? Ever feel like telling them to speak English, or if they won't, then go back where they came from? In Quebec it's not unheard of for some Francophones to demand an Anglophone speak French. Are we that angry over the language spoken in public?

Alison Azer continues her desperate quest to be reunited with her four Canadian children. This after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met personally with Alison in May and promised he would do everything he possibly can to reunite the mother with her four children, abducted by their father, Dr. Saren Azer, and for whom a Canada-wide warrant and Interpol warrant exist. Now Iran, which had arrested Saren Azer on the INTERPOL Red Notice issued by Canada has released Azer and cleared him because Canada did not follow up on its own INTERPOL Red Notice.
Alison Azer is convinced Justin Trudeau lied to her and that his government intentionally refused to take an available step to see her illegally abducted Canadian children returned to her.

Staying with Alberta ... the NDP government filed a "bizarre" lawsuit this week against power companies, including utilities which are owned, or partly owned by the cities of Calgary and Edmonton in order to stop the companies from backing out of power contracts which have been made less profitable by Alberta's increased carbon costs (taxes, closing of coal powered power generation). The lawsuit names the province's own regulatory agency, the Alberta Utilities Commission for "unlawfully" agreeing in 2000 to terms which allow termination of so-called Power Purchase Arrangements "if a change in law renders the PPA unprofitable, or more unprofitable."
Basically, the NDP government is suing its own agency and power companies for reacting to provincial regulations which drive up the price of power and reduce profits. Could this lead toward the situation which exists in the U.K. where thousands of elderly and poor are dying annually because they cannot afford the increasing price of electricity. It's projected that by 2030, 100,000 people in the U.K. will die of being cold because they cannot afford electricity. It's already been a crisis in an Ontario community in the Winter of 2014.

Gloria Allred won a very public lawsuit against Donald Trump in 2012 and is a delegate to the Democratic Convention for Hillary Clinton.
In 2012, Ms. Allred represented Jenna Talackova who was kicked out of the Miss Universe/Miss Canada beauty pageant, after officials learned she had been born with a penis.

Gloria Allred won a very public lawsuit against Donald Trump in 2012, and is a delegate to the Democratic Convention for Hillary Clinton.
In 2012, Ms. Allred represented Jenna Talackova who was kicked out of the Miss Universe/Miss Canada beauty pageant, after officials learned she had been born with a penis. The pageant had a rule at the time requiring contestants to be “naturally born female.” A high profile public battle between Gloria Allred and Donald Trump saw transgendered Jenna Talackova reinstated, but not until after arguments involving Mr. Trump’s penis entered the public arena.

Donald Trump. President. United States of America. Policy: America First. Philosophy: Make America Great Again. The future?
If on the night of November 8, Donald Trump is handed the key to the White House and Oval Office by American voters, what is the potential impact on Canada and Canadians? In his Republican Convention nominee for POTUS acceptance speech Thursday, Trump slammed NAFTA as the “absolute worst” trade deal the U.S. has “ever” agreed to. He made it abundantly clear a Trump administration will be all about America First! That includes trade with Canada, as well as the fact the U.S. rapidly becoming a major oil exporter.
Given a bellicose U.S. President to the south, I asked the question on Twitter: “If Trump wins the White House and puts his America First policy in place, including ripping up NAFTA maybe (which experts say impossible, just as the Trump GOP nomination was impossible) is our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau the equal to a President Donald Trump, in a stare-down, face to face and does PM Trudeau need to put all the power of his office behind pipeline projects heading for Pacific and Atlantic ports ‘now’ in order to export our number 1 commodity….oil?”Do you believe Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would be an equal to Donald Trump in an economic stare-down as President Trump would confront Canada through his America First demand.
Kenneth P. Green, the Senior Director of Natural Resource Studies at the Fraser Institute and co-author of a Fraser Institute report which argues pipeline construction must be expedited in Canada’s best economic interest joins Roy to discuss this.

Last Sunday, Dr. Bjorn Lomborg, environmentalist, economist, head of the Consensus Centre think tank in Copenhagen, believer in human induced global warming, and author told us from Paris where he was attending the COP21 climate change UN gathering that the treaty signed by 195 countries which calls on developed countries to deliver trillions of dollars to underdeveloped countries to fight rising global temperatures has targets impossible to meet. Lomborg added the elderly and poor in England and Wales are suffering and dying because they cannot afford to properly heat their homes due to massive spikes in energy pricing and the imposition of green taxes. U.K. media stories support Lomborg. British media report many thousands have already died (100,000 more projected to die in the next 15 years) and tens of thousands are suffering cold-indoor temperature related cardiovascular and respiratory problems. These people are faced with, according to a U.K. professor who conducted a study on the issue, the choice of "heat or eat." Canadian (Ontario) news reports also speak to seniors and the poor not being able to meet their heating costs any longer.
In Toronto and Ottawa the price of electricity rose 80% between 2004 and 2014. Will Canada's governments now raise energy (electricity) prices even more significantly to meet the objectives of COP21?

One of the possible outcomes of Monday's vote is a minority government led by Prime Minister Harper. Both Justin Trudeau and Tom Mulcair have said they will not co-operate with a Harper-led Conservative minority government. What are the options for the other parties to combine their forces to form a government (Mulcair and Trudeau have been bad-mouthing each other throughout the campaign). Can the Conservatives hold off any Liberal/NDP/BQ coalition attempt? Can the Liberals and New Democrats afford to hook up with the BQ, as they attempted in 2008?
Would the NDP, Liberals (and BQ) have the moral right to try to form a government if Canadians had kicked them to curb and Stephen Harper's Conservatives wound up with more seats than any other party, and more seats than two of the other parties perhaps? Henry Jacek a political science professor at McMaster University in Hamilton joins us to discuss.

A strange traffic stop for me on Wednesday. While I was heading home, moving rapidly from a 90kmh to a 50kmh speed limit, I turned a hard right and noticed a Surete Quebec police cruiser parked alongside the road in the lot of a closed restaurant. Slowing down for the right turn I was parallel to the police cruiser for about two seconds. I made the right turn, only to have the SQ cruiser follow me with the lights flashing. I stopped and when the police walked to my window I thought it was probably speeding, although I didn't think I had been. The officer said "I'm stopping you because you weren't wearing your seat belt." Whoa!! I always wear my seat belt and had been all the drive home. Besides I am sure he couldn't see into my car. It has tan leather seats and the seat belt is tan in colour. I challenged the officer and said "With respect officer, you're wrong. I was wearing my belt and I always do, and I don't think you could see into my car from where you were parked." He asked for my driver's licence and just glanced at it before giving it back. We made a little small talk, he dropped his complaint and wished me a good afternoon and I was on my way. Now ...what the heck was that about? He accused me, but never defended his accusation. Just let me go. What do you think that traffic stop was all about? It wasn't about a seat belt, that's for sure.

Game one of the ALCS took place between the Toronto Blue Jays and Kansas City Royals last night. Jays lost 5-0. The game did not (and how could it) match the excitement, drama and madness of Game five of the Jays/Rangers ALDS. During last night's game Royals fans were chanting "U...S...A....U...S...A" and after Thursday's now legendary seventh inning Jays fans' beer tossing display, American baseball fans described the outburst as "disgusting, vile and classless." After the game one Jays fan was arrested for spraying beer on a baby during the seventh inning outburst. Even Stephen King tweeted about what took place.
Does baseball have to get over itself and allow a home run hitter a little "in your face" celebration? As in Jose Bautista's bat flip after his three run home run. Was Jose Bautista out of line with his bat flip? Should anyone in the stands have been arrested, including the fan who threw the beer which sprayed the baby in the front row with its mother?

Tom Mulcair is quoted as saying he's prepared to work with Justin Trudeau and the Liberals to form a coalition government and push aside Stephen Harper and the Conservatives if the Conservatives wind up with enough seats to form a minority government. Would the NDP and Liberals, maybe the Bloc Quebecois, have the moral high ground to combine their parties to form a coalition to push aside the Conservatives and try to govern, or would that be blatantly ignoring the will of Canadians and how we voted?

Much of what happens on the 19th will depend on how Quebeckers vote. Quebeckers could pave the road for the New Democrats and Tom Mulcair, or place a spike mat in front of the NDP bus and drive it into the proverbial ditch. Ditto the Liberals and to a certain extent the Conservatives. If the CPC elects more Quebec MPs than expected originally, it could pave the road to returning to government for Stephen Harper. So what will Quebeckers most likely do? Quebec voters have been increasingly fractious. Guest: Christian Bourque. Exec VP/partner. Leger Marketing.

The wearing a niqab while swearing the Canadian citizenship oath. Some media commenting/writing it's a useless waste of time issue.

Earlier this year Roy spoke with former Liberal MP John Bryden. Bryden was one of ten Liberal MPs invited to a dinner attended by former Prime Minister and arguably the chief architect of Canada' official multiculturalism policy, Pierre Trudeau. Each MP was permitted to ask P.E.T. one question. Bryden's question was about multiculturalism having become more about ethnicity for newcomers to Canada, than about being Canadian. Bryden asked Pierre Trudeau if he was satisfied with how multiculturalism had worked out. The table, in Bryden's words, "went silent." Pierre Trudeau's answer, "No, I am not." The former Liberal MP makes the case that Pierre Elliot Trudeau would today, on the issue of wearing the niqab, while swearing the oath of Canadian citizenship, stand "shoulder to shoulder" with not his son and current Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, but rather Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Does the fact that Zunera Ishaq took the oath of citizenship while wearing a niqab yesterday affect your view of the issue of whether or not a niqab should be permitted to be worn while swearing the oath of Canadian citizenship? If John Bryden is correct, which of the Trudeau's do you side with on the niqab issue? Justin or Pierre? Son or father? Remember, France outlawed wearing a niqab in public in 2010. To do so results in significant fines. The European Court of Human Rights last year upheld the French 'no niqabs in public' law. There is no appeal permitted.

In nine days Canadians vote and polls are suggesting it is close between the Conservatives and the Liberals, with the NDP apparently having blown a tire. This is what the polling suggested in the U.K. immediately before the May general election. Conservative David Cameron was to get pummeled by voters. Within hours of the polls closing it was clear the Cameron Conservatives were on the way to another majority government. So pollsters blew it. Just as in 2012, not one poll predicted Alison Redford would be elected Premier of Alberta. She was, with a majority. NDP leader Tom Mulcair and Liberal leader Justin Trudeau have never tried to hide their disdain for Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Gilles Duceppe's BQ is gaining traction in QC. Who gets your vote? Who is the best leader for Canada on the national and international stage? Roy thinks Harper is still the best bet! Agree, or think he has to go?

On the way home from Ontario, Roy stopped for a burger and gas when he ran into a young OPP officer who was pumping gas. Roy thanked the officer for putting on the uniform every day and protecting us. He was very appreciative. They talked for a few minutes about many things including Nuit Blanche in Toronto, during which a mob injured several police officers. The officer was really disturbed about that and said fellow officers on the force were talking about it. Meanwhile, in Hartford, CT, a police officer was shouted at by a Dunkin Donuts employee after saying "Guess he hasn't heard. We don't serve cops here anymore." Police will be receiving increased attention as the second degree murder trial of Toronto police Constable James Forcillo in the shooting of teenager Sammy Yatim begins next Tuesday. However, the times police step up and help are so often unreported. #ThankACop. Are you up for it?

In the last three years the Edmonton Police Service has held more than 100 disciplinary hearings for officers. In Calgary, during the same period there have been only 8.
Does this cause morale problems for police officers in Edmonton who worry about being disciplined for what they see as just doing their jobs and at a rate far higher than their counterparts in Calgary and perhaps across Canada? Are cops under too much pressure and too quickly criminally charged, or are too many police officers playing fast and loose with the law themselves?

A dispute has surfaced over what is and what isn't a school shooting after the mass murder at Umpqua Community College in Oregon. The website Everytown For Gun Safety, launched by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg states 142 school shootings have taken place since the Sandy Hook Elementary school mass killing of 20 children and 6 staff in 2012. Opponents argue gang-related shootings, shootings over drugs, and shootings over arguments are not school shootings, even if the shooting takes place at schools or on school property. "It's not a school shooting when someone goes and shoots a specific person on campus. It's a shooting that happens to take place at school" is that group's position.
Do you agree with this statement or do you believe if a shooting happens at school regardless the circumstances it is a school shooting?

This week's killings of a Virginia television station reporter and photographer has generated questions again about who should and who should not have access to firearms. We will stay with Canadian gun ownership. Should Canadians be barred from owning private firearms? How many Canadian legal gun owners are even aware of the circumstances under which they make come face to gun barrel with a Canadian Emergency Weapons and Tactics (SWAT- equivalency) police squad? Ed Burlew, Canada's number one lawyer on gun related criminal charges, says that if you own a gun and say anything, even in jest, about suicide or other 'possible' gun-related acts, you will have between two and three SWAT teams forcibly entering your home, cuffing and arresting you. Then it is off to jail or the psych hospital. Many such cases each year says Burlew. Should gun-ownership be made much more difficult in Canada, even rifles and shotguns? Is the concentration by police and crown attorneys on gun owners making owing a firearm more trouble than it's worth? Would you consider selling or turning in your gun(s) to police?

Mayor Rob Burton of Oakville, Ontario caused a national response on Twitter and other social media with his tweets (on City of Oakville Twitter account) criticizing the Conservative Party for hiring retired CAF veterans to provide additional security at party events during the election campaign. Burton raised the heat when he tweeted: "any political parties had private police using veterans before?" and added Wikipedia links to information on Adolf Hitler's Sturmabteilung Brown Shirts Nazi paramilitary security units and their Italian equivalency for dictator Benito Mussolini.
Burton apologized to military veterans he may have offended, but does he owe an apology to the CPC and Stephen Harper? Does yesterday's call for Burton to resign still resonate across Canada? The Oakville Twitter issue may underscore the truth of Roy's position last Saturday: We need federal election campaigns in 2015, as much as we still need a phone booth on each street corner. This campaign is costing taxpayers many millions of dollars, is descending into a stream of angry side-campaigns like sumofus.org emailing Canadians asking for a $1 donation to fund their "We have dirt on Harper" campaign. (sumofus is the same organization which intimidated Tim Hortons into dropping their in-store television ads for Enbridge pipeline company a few weeks ago).

Donald Trump is now, according to a CNN Poll, a legitimate contender for the White House. But why is Trump continuing to gain support? Donald Trump is talking 'to' Americans and addressing the issues they want addressed, while the rest of the swarm of Presidential wanna-be's are just shouting at each other and fewer and fewer are really listening to them. Trump is addressing bringing jobs back to America, regaining American pride (and Americans are proud patriots, particularly the middle class), they are fed up with China, Mexico, India, Phillipines scoring against the U.S. in economic issues/jobs issues (real and perceived). Donald Trump is the billionaire who flies his chopper right over (literally) Hillary Clinton's head at the Iowa State Fair and takes the average person for a ride. British bookmakers continue to improve his odds at taking over the White House. If we had one Canadian with some real cash reserves and an attitude like Trump's, along with a slate of maybe 20-30 'independent' candidates to follow him/her in a federal election in Canada, would Canadians vote for such a 'renegade', dealing with immigration, respecting Canadian history, who promises to bring jobs back from overseas, etc, instead of the terminally boring Harper, Trudeau, Mulcair goulash?

Every Canadian school child should this week have been reminded of this date in 1942.

After doing some research, The National Daycare Program promised by Tom Mulcair and the NDP seems to wobble. The NDP website claims ‘Too many mothers are sacrificing career goals because they cannot find affordable care’. But it seems that your baby was probably just an annoying interruption to your career-goal pursuits. In Quebec, they have a daycare program but the Premier recently said the daily cost per child is $60, with the taxpayer underwriting $52.50 of that. Quebec daycare users do not pay up front with their $7.50 daily fee, there is much more. CPC and Liberal child care initiatives are also challenged. If you’re going to have a child, is daycare what you want for the child? Is it the child’s first choice?

Self-described “pick-up artist” Roosh V. is hosting a seminar in Toronto today, despite nearly 50,000 signatures on a petition to the CBSA to have him barred from entering Canada. Roosh has also received a condemnation from Toronto’s mayor, John Tory, urging venues to cancel Roosh’s appearance. Roosh has been accused of sexism, misogyny, and even support for rape, despite his assertions that a controversial blog post was satire aimed at encouraging women to protect themselves against sexual assault. Should Roosh be banned from speaking? Should anyone?

A Quebec supermarket cashier at a Provigo store informed customers they could obtain the same items they were purchasing from Provigo for less money at a nearby Walmart. Someone informed the cashier's employers and she was fired for 'disloyalty.' A Quebec Appeals Court just upheld the firing as justifiable. Don't retailers often invite price comparisons with competitors, as in, "we'll beat any competitor's lower price?" Have you been fired over a circumstance you judged to be unfair? How were you fired? What did your employer say? Was the firing of the Provigo supermarket cashier justified? Was it a clear case of disloyalty to her employer to inform customers the price of products they were purchasing at Provigo were less expensive at Walmart? Lior Samfiru, Employment law specialist at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, Toronto weighs in on the legality of it all.

If he’s elected as Prime Minister, Mulcair has said he’ll get rid of his French citizenship. But if he isn’t elected, he will remain a citizen of France. What does this say about the meaning of the word commitment to Tom Mulcair?

It is now confirmed that dogs can detect when people are dying or grieving by body language cues and smells. Dogs also know how to comfort people by sniffing out cancers and will instinctively comfort people not only when those people are facing death, but also at other difficult times like depression or job loss. Soldiers with PTSD are often comforted by dogs. Have you experienced a dog instinctively knowing if someone is very ill, dying or otherwise struggling and what did that dog do?

Authorities in Texas have released the dash-cam footage of Sandra Bland's arrest. Bland was arrested after an encounter with a state trooper turned hostile when she refused to get out of her car. The trooper initially pulled Bland over to ticket her for failing to signal when changing lanes. After the arrest she was held in a cell for three days and was found hanging on July 13. Lots of mystery surrounds this case as some speculate she did not hang herself. Others are saying the video footage had been tampered with. But in the graphic video, the trooper threatens Bland with his taser and yells "I will light you up!" The video has now been seen by millions. We talk to the county prosecutor who announced the suicide of Sandra Bland, he says she had ingested a significant amount of marijuana at some point prior to her death.

Meanwhile in Chicago, a Cubs fan and father, holding his 7 month old son, reached out and took a catch away from a Los Angeles Dodgers player. Should the Oakland mother and Chicago father be investigated for and perhaps charged with child neglect and placing their children in danger of being injured just because they wanted to catch a stupid baseball? Why aren't we talking about banning those parents from attending games with their children? Roy is joined by Mark Yost a journalist for the Wall Street Journal and Sports Illustrated who was at the Cubs game.

The murders at Emmanuel AME Church and the fact this 21 year old would receive a .45 caliber handgun as a birthday present from his father has again raised the issue of whether firearms, particularly handguns in the U.S are too easily obtained and whether gun ownership should be ended for citizens not in the military or law enforcement. President Obama again brought up the issue of guns while commenting on the Charleston murders. Is it time to take guns out of the hands of private citizens, as other countries have largely done? Expect a federal NDP or Liberal government to try to end or far more severely restrict private gun ownership in Canada?

A 19 year old quadriplegic is found guilty of first degree murder in the death of York Regional Police Constable Garrett Styles. Some are questioning the first degree murder verdict which carries a life in prison, no chance at parole for 25 years sentence if the teen is convicted as an adult. If he is convicted as a young offender there is no mandatory sentence. Is this a case of first degree murder (murder by calculated intent), second degree murder or manslaughter? The teen's lawyer claimed in court his client hit the wrong pedal (gas instead of brake) in a panic at the time of the incident.

This past Monday in Waco, Texas, an exchange of gunfire at the Twin Peaks restaurant claimed 9 lives and more than a dozen people were injured. Initial reports were that the gunfight featured biker club members from one of the world's largest 'outlaw' (law enforcement designation) clubs the Bandidos and the Cossacks, a smaller club which may be seen as being disrespectful to the Bandidos for wearing "Texas" on their lower rocker (bike club patches). Closed circuit video though raises the question of who fired first and most frequently? Some say it was police. Fox News in Texas is reporting that biker clubs have issued threats against police after the shootings. 170 suspects are in custody and 318 weapons, including 100 handguns have been confiscated. Professor James F. Quinn at North Texas University has studied biker clubs including the biggest four 1% clubs in the U.S and joins us to discuss.

At the beginning of the week we saw violence, rioting, burning and looting in Baltimore following the death of Freddie Grey a young black man who suffered an almost entire severing of his spinal cord while in police custody and in the back of a Baltimore police van. The narrative then changed into what people globally heard was anger in African American communities (and beyond Baltimore) over treatment of those community members by police. The current wave of protest and violence began in Ferguson, Missouri with the death of 18 year old Michael Brown, shot by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. Wilson was not criminally charged. The six Baltimore police officers who took Freddie Grey into custody and in whose custody he died, have been criminally charged, one with second degree murder. All face 20 years and more in prison if convicted. We talk to two business owners. One in Ferguson, Missouri,Sonny Dayan and the other, James Hamlin in Baltimore, Maryland.

I want to talk about that co-pilot on the Germanwings plane who murdered 150 people by diving the passenger jet into the Alps. There’s much talk about his mental health and physical health issues as well. I believe strongly in mental health issues being properly addressed and any lingering stigma related to mental health be eradicated. That includes, of course, depression, which Andreas Lubitz is said to have been challenged by. Lubitz to me though is no different than Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer and Clifford Olson. A mass-murderer of children, women and men, except no societal vengeance on this killer is possible. Many deal with depression without resorting to gratuitous brutality. Am I wrong to feel this way about Lubitz? I’ll be asking Dr. Frank Farley, psychologist and past president of the American Psychological Association (he’s Canadian).

Al Shabab terrorists commit mass murder at a Kenyan college and today threaten additional attacks warning Kenyan cities will run "red with blood." Terror organizations globally are becoming more aggressively vicious and there have been warnings of major attacks being planned for Western nations. While Canada's parliament found itself engaged in loud debate over this country's role with the international (U.S. led) coalition attacking ISIS, the question which has not been asked, or addressed by Western government leaders is, should (when) another massive terror attack of 9/11 proportion take place in a democratic Western nation, is the responsibility of Canada and all other Western nations to take whatever military, political and/or economic action in response, even if a nation-state is not directly taking responsibility for such a terror attack, whether the attack takes place on another country's soil or not?

"Roy, your Facebook posting about your wife's cancer battle reads like you think she needs your protection. We fought to overcome this stereotype. Women, including your wife, don't need a man to stand guard over them. I respect your love for your wife, but you are devaluing independent women everywhere." A personal email from a casual acquaintance referencing my March 24 posting at RoyGreenShow.com and on Facebook (The Roy Green Show), titled My wife's battle with cancer. A question to you. Do you discern, anywhere in that posting a suggestion I'm demeaning "independent women everywhere?"

This is fascinating stuff. A 1000 year old recipe from a 10th Century Anglo-Saxon medical book, as far as medical books went in the 10th Century, contains a potion which appears to be able to kill the MSRA (as well as other) antibiotic-resistant superbug. I’ll be speaking with Dr. Jay Keystone, tropical infectious diseases specialist at Toronto General Hospital about this development. 21st Century medicine taking a backseat to 10th Century potions. What are the implications? I’m sure there will be many saying “told you!” By the way, how did ‘they’ (Today’s med researchers) find out this potion of garlic, onion or leak, wine and Oxgall (bile from a cow’s stomach) would thump MSRA? Everything, except the oxgall, could appear on or beside your dinner tonight.

It was billed as a particularly violent road-rage incident which ended in a drive-by shooting murder of a 44 year old Las Vegas wife and mother, Tammy Meyer. That was a week ago. Since then many twists and turns in this now international story. Meyer and her son, armed with a gun, went looking for a car involved in a supposed road-rage incident with Meyer and her daughter earlier. Meyer's son had wanted to call police, but Tammy Meyer told her son if he didn't go with her, she would go alone. They found the car, trouble began, shots were fired. Meyer and her son returned home, the car in question followed and shots were fired again with Tammy Meyer dead. The family then revealed the suspect, once arrested, was19 year old Erich Nowsch who had a relationship with Tammy Meyer who according to Meyer's husband had been trying to help the 19 year old to straighten out his life. What's really going on? The story becomes more strange. What begins a road rage incident? What started a road rage incident for callers and could it have been diffused, but wasn't?

A Winnipeg mother was cleared of a criminal charge of child abandonment on Friday. She left her 6 year old son home alone for 90 minutes in the summer of 2013. There's more to the case, like the mother being home after 90 minutes because police contacted her. Will be explained by guest. Meanwhile, the Toronto mother of the four year old found wandering outside in -14 degree weather and taken in by a neighbour is out on bail after being charged with abandonment of a child under the age of 10. She may not see her son. Do we (the state) get too involved in people's lives? Is this a case of society protecting a child, or society butting into a parent's decision on what to do on any particular day with his or her child? Do you leave your children alone at home?

Yesterday Millington was found guilty of perjury and collusion with fellow RCMP officers prior to their testimony at the Braidwood inquiry into Dziekanski's death. Judge William Ehrke of the B.C. Supreme Court ruled Millington "patently lied"at the inquiry. All four RCMP officers involved where charged with perjury. Millington was accused of lying 10 times. Millington had said Dziekanski was standing after being hit by a Taser a second time, something the judge called "preposterous." One officer was charged with perjury and acquitted. Another officer is waiting to hear the verdict on his charges and a other's trial is coming to a conclusion.

Another case of Canada's military abandoning a veteran in medical distress? Robyn Young is a 24 year Navy veteran who for four years battled a brain tumour while a full-time member of the military. She reported symptoms to the base Medical Officer who refused to conduct a CAT scan during those four years. It was after Robyn passed out and was rushed to hospital that an emergency CAT scan discovered the brain cancer. By that time Robyn had reduced her reservist status (planning on attending nursing school), but the military argued she was no longer covered by its medical plan, even though a misdiagnosis of her brain problems had carried on for four years on a military base and by a military Medical Officer. Robyn Young's brain cancer has been successfully beaten back medically, but she suffers double-vision and constant nausea. For treatment she has to leave Windsor, Ontario for Victoria, B.C. and the military is providing only a one-way ticket and no accommodation while Robyn and her mother Pearl Osmond, also a 23 year military veteran who saw duty in Afghanistan are in B.C. for the treatment. The military base hospital in London, Ontario denied treatment to Robyn Young.

And if you do switch them off, is there any guarantee they are in fact off and you're not being monitored by these apps.

The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission report about RCMP action in private residences in High River, Alberta during and following the devastating June, 2013 flooding reveals hundreds of legally owned firearms were removed from those private residences by police without the requisite "legal authority." Firearms of law-abiding citizens were removed by police who had no warrants and without judicial oversight. Homes were "forcibly entered" as RCMP officers were ostensibly looking for flood victims to save. But some of those homes had no or little flood water activity or damage and there is evidence to suggest police looked in dresser drawers for people in need of saving. 609 firearms were taken, many of them legally and properly stored. Guests: Lorne Gunter. Sun Media. Investigated the High River gun seizures. Documentary: Broken Trust. Greg Kvisle. High River resident and real estate agent.

: Two individuals have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder in relation to the alleged plot to assault a Halifax shopping mall with firearms. Nova Scotia RCMP laid charges against 23 year old Lindsay Kantha Souvannarath of Geneva, Illinois and 20 year old Randall Steven Shepherd of Halifax. A 17 year old was released without charges by remains under investigation. A fourth suspect committed apparent suicide at his parents home in Timberlea, N.S. Three long barrel guns were seized from the home. The plan was to shoot and kill citizens at the Halifax Shopping Centre yesterday and then kill themselves. The individuals are thought to have built a friendship online and hatched their plot that way. What would cause four young people to prepare to commit such a heinous act? Guest: Dr. Frank Farley. Psychologist. Past president of the American Psychological Association and president-elect of the Society for the Study of Peace, Conflicts and Violence.

What family would commit this kind of act? A Missouri mother and grandmother, aunt and co-worker of the aunt staged a kidnapping of the 6 year old son, grandson and nephew because his family felt he was being too nice to people. The little boy's family was lured into a pickup truck, tied up, threatened with a gun, taken to a basement where his pants were taken away and he was told he could be sold as a sex slave. The boy was told he would "never see his mommy again" and that he would be "nailed to the wall of a shed." When the boy began to cry a gun was produced and he was tied the remainder of the assault continued until his mother revealed herself and lectured the child on "stranger danger." The motheris charged with felony kidnapping and felony abuse and neglect of a child. The rest of them are charged with felonious restraint. The mother, grandmother and aunt see nothing wrong with what they did. Guest: Lenore Skenazy. Author of the book, blog and Twitter feed: World's Worst Mom.

His name is James Robertson. For years he walked the streets of Detroit alone, some 33km daily, to and from his $10.55 a hour job and no one knew or cared. Then James Robertson's story became synonymous with caring for this one man by people who knew only his story. He walked because his car had broken down and he couldn't afford a replacement, or insurance. A crowdfunding effort raised more than $300,000 for James Robertson, a car dealership presented him with his dream car, a Ford Taurus and a board of individuals has been assembled to help him manage his money.

One week ago today it was Super Bowl 49! And while more than 100 million watched on TV, listened to radio broadcasts, two Irish fans just walked into the stadium in Arizona and wound up sitting in seats which would have cost $25,000. Apart from this being a messy story for security folks at the SB, it's a great story of "going for it"....(or is it)? Guest: Green. Personal stories of 'sneaking' into events. Habs games as a kid in the Forum in Montreal ....and great story from a caller some years ago about sneaking, or more accurately, brazenly openly walking into The Master golf tournament without a ticket.

That was for the "migrant workers" they said. Instead the students were going to take advantage of social programs they were aware of.

NBC is investigating its nightly news anchor and claims he made about being aboard a helicopter shot down over Iraq. Williams has apologized and claims over 12 years he misremembered the flight he was on wasn't the flight forced out of the sky by RPG fire. Now Williams claims while reporting hurricane Katrina in New Orleans are also being skeptically viewed. Guest: Steve Liewer. Military reporter. Omaha World-Herald. Liewer was in Iraq in 2003 reporting for Stars and Stripes and embedded with helicopter crews. He flew out to speak to crew of the Chinook forced down by the RPG fire and says the pilot and crew of that helicopter accused Brian Williams of lying about being on the flight. That the NBC crew arrived later, took photos and film and wanted to interview the crew and its pilot Don Helus, but they refused. Williams now says he was on the Chinook behind the one which took fire. Also not true say the chopper crews. They maintain Williams and his NBC crew were on a completely different mission. That story is supported by Chris Simeone, pilot of the Chinook Williams flew on. Helus emailed Williams producer asking for a retraction from Williams to the claim he'd been on the chopper which took fire. There was no reply.
Being shot is not something you misremember. I've been shot and remember the circumstances exactly, even though it was decades ago and a minor caliber gun. Should Brian Williams be fired? Surprised someone in a major media position like Brian Williams would for years publicly continue to tell a story which is a complete fabrication, after being asked by military members who were there to retract his claim? Ever told a lie which bit you? Ever caught someone in a major lie which impacted their work? What did you do about it?

The Supreme Court of Canada yesterday ruled unanimously patients suffering desperately have the right constitutionally to a physician-assisted death. a doctor-assisted death is constitutional for adults who consent to die under such circumstance and while under a physician's care. The patient must state he/she cannot tolerate the level of physical and/or psychological pain and suffering caused by an incurable illness, disease or disability. The SCC has given the government a year to present legislation to mirror the court's decision. Quebec's legislation in this regard goes into effect at the end of 2015. Guest: Dr. Catherine Ferrier. President. Physicians Alliance Against Euthanasia.
Did the Supreme Court of Canada rule correctly? Green's view has consistently been "a physician-assisted death under circumstances such as the Supreme Court defined, coupled with in-place safeguards determining the patient alone made the decision while having the mental capacity to do so, is the final act of compassionate health care." Agree? Disagree?
Guest: Chris Consodine. Victoria, B.C. Sue Rodriguez' lawyer who argued before the Supreme Court in the early 90's for Ms. Rodriguez and her wish for a physician-assisted death as she struggled with ALS.

An appeal has been launched by an Ontario crown attorney against a stay-at-home sentence, instead of a law-mandated minimum one year prison sentence, for a video editor of an Etobicoke-based (Ontario) child pornography producing organization which distributed its content worldwide.
Why no prison? Because the convicted individual, Brandon Donnelly, might commit suicide in prison, according to three medical professionals. The content of the material Donnelly edited showed 44 naked teenagers and pre-teenage boys engaged in swimming, wrestling, but no overt sexual acts, no violence or participation with adults ruled Justice Ian Nordheimer. So Donnelly received a 21 month conditional sentence. Is the Crown acting properly by appealing the Judge's decision (criminal law does not permit the judge to do what he did)?

Guest: Martin Collacott. Fmr. Canadian Ambassador to Syria and Lebanon. Spokesman for the Centre for Immigration Policy Reform.
Do you agree with new immigration rules and should Filipino couple be permitted to stay?

Calls for a national Canadian carbon tax, now that fuel prices at the pump are significantly lower. It would motivate Canadians to be more likely to purchase fuel-efficient vehicles and help fund green energy development. Canadian fuel prices are already massively taxed. That's why gasoline purchased at a Montreal refinery is, transportation and delivery costs notwithstanding, sold in border states like New York and Vermont at more than $1 off the pump price in Quebec. The former finance minister for Northern Ireland is a vocal opponent of carbon taxes.
Guest: Sammy Wilson. Former Lord Mayor, Belfast and former Minister of the Environment and Minister of Finance, Northern Ireland. Sitting member of the Northern Ireland legislature.

Animals! Much reaction to last weekend's segment on limited human rights granted to an Orangutan by an Argentinian court. Includes email from Alberta listener who was left with a twelve year old cat by a former tenant. Darwin has tried to make the cat part of his home life, but it squirts everywhere but in its litter box. He's spent money and consulted with veterinarians. Now he wonders where his responsibility ends to the cat he didn't want. Is he cruel if he opts to euthanize the cat?
Guest: Darwin. Tried giving the cat to shelters. Would not accept it. (Green's story of adopting a shelter dog which had similar issues and what happened.)

Weekly B&B segment with Catherine Swift (WorkingCanadians.com) Linda Leatherdale (LIndaleatherdale.com) and Michelle Simson (@MichelleSimson).
With the federal Auditor General soon to release his investigation into expense claims by Senators, we unveil what we're calling the drive for "Michelle's Law." Michelle Simson was the only member of parliament to post her expenses online and was punished by her Liberal Party whip and shunned by MPs from all parties for doing so. It's time for hard-edged legislation punishing any MP/Senator who abuses his/her expense privileges. Hence: Michelle's Law.
Support Michelle's Law (and calling it that)?

2:05pm: The "Gimme" Generation. "The government should pay for my tuition, provide me with a job, give me money for a house, make sure I get free health care and pay for my retirement. If necessary, raise taxes on rich people so that I can have more money." Some of the results of an essay written by college students when asked to write about their definition of the American Dream. That was 2010. In December of 2014, college students have added in a petition with more than 1000 signatures and delivered to the president of Oberlin College, that "a 'C' should be the lowest grade students can receive this semester', as far as grading exams is concerned. Why? Well, students haven't been able to properly prepare for their finals because they've been too heavily involved in protests of recent Grand Jury decisions to not indict police officers in the shooting deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. When an Oberlin professor replied to the demand with a curt "NO", the students posted it to Facebook in an attempt to publicly shame the professor. And at George Washington University another petition by students demands the deportation of one American citizen in exchange for one illegal immigrant. "Please sign our petition for President Obama to deport one American citizen, in exchange for one undocumented immigrant" reads the petition. Did any of the students signing the petition volunteer to be deported? Ummmm....No! Guest: Michael Wade. Lawyer and blogger. Wrote on and picked apart the "Gimme" Generation's expectations. - 2:30-:55: The LAST WORD to Callers: Are these college/university students off the wall, or, on the mark?

3:30: Animal rights is one thing, animal human rights is another. An Argentine court conferred limited human rights on an orangutan held in captivity so she (Sandra) can be transferred to a habitat more of the kind she would encounter in the wild. Sandra will move from the Buenos Aires Zoo to a Brazilian sanctuary. This is the first global ruling of its kind and is precedent setting. Do animals deserve this kind of protection under the law? Do animals deserve to be granted partial human rights? What are the implications for how you may determine your pet's life and way of living? Guest: Jim Willis. Animal rights supporter/activist, author of How Could You from his book Pieces of My Heart. Jane Goodall includes Pieces of My Heart among her recommended books in more than 170 countries. A similar primate case is before the courts in the U.S. - 3:45: The LAST WORD to CALLERS: Do animals deserve to be granted partial human rights?

Guest: Roy Green (solo). Honourary member Police Association of Ontario. Honorary member, Hamilton Police Association. - 2:20-:55: The LAST WORD to Callers: Do you "trust" police? Not do you 'like' or 'dislike' police. Do you "trust" police? When you see a police cruiser do you feel reassured, or do you feel uneasy? What is your personal experience with police in Canada? If you had a negative experience was it because the cop was set on making your life more difficult, or were you at least partly responsible for what happened? Is there, in your experience, a racial bias among Canada's police officers, or is the talk of racism by police an anti-police agenda without substance?

3:05pm: Although NYPD officer Rafael Ramos was buried today, anti-NYPD protests continue in New York. This even though Mayor Bill de Blasio asked for moratorium on protests until after the funerals of slain police officers Ramos and Wenjian Liu. NYPD officers continue to be critical of de Blasio, arguing the Mayor fed the anti-police narrative which led to the assassination of the two police officers. Officers outside the cathedral turned their backs while de Blasio spoke at officer Ramos funeral service.
Guest: Robert Gangi. Director. PROP. Police Reform Organizing Project. PROP engaged in the anti-NYPD protests, writing on their website their objective is in "exposing discriminatory and abusive practices of the NYPD, that routinely and disproportionately affect our city's low-income communities and people of colour." Gangi has written op-ed pieces for the New York Times, Newsday, etc. Driving the anti-NYPD protests in the face of the NYC Mayor calling for a moratorium.

3:20: LAST WORD to Callers. Is it disrespectful to continue with anti-NYPD protests on the day of the funeral of a murdered officer we know now was a very good man and deeply loved by his family? Are the police protests which included chants of "What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!" legitimate expressions of public anger at "abusive practices of the NYPD", or something entirely different?

One of the most responded to was my refusing to have a cashier with an obvious cold/flu check out my groceries as my wife continues her health battle. Most callers and most email supportive of not having the cashier handle the groceries.

Service industry workers called to say they were routinely told to work even with colds/flus. Guest: Roy Green (solo) - 4:20: The LAST WORD to Callers: Should that cashier with an obvious bad cold (at least) have been handling customers groceries?

Two NYPD officers, Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were murdered while sitting in their cruiser yesterday afternoon. The killer, Ismaaiyl Brinsley committed suicide as he was being closed in on by police. He is said to have shot his former girlfriend before travelling from Baltimore to New York City with the plan to kill police officers, in retaliation for the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. Baltimore police sent a warning to the NYPD about Brinsley's threats, but they arrived at the same time as the killings took place. NYPD are furious at New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, with the police union president Patrick Lynch saying "that blood on the hands starts on the steps of City Hall, in the office of the mayor." (A Florida police officer was also killed last night.)

North Korea's hack attack on SONY corp causes SONY to pull film The Interview starring Seth Rogan and James Franco (and threats to theatres should the film the released this weekend as scheduled). The film had depicted the assassination of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. North Korea denies the attack while U.S. President Obama declares the U.S. will respond proportionately at a time of its choosing. Now North Korea demands the U.S. allow it to participate in any investigation of the hack attack and if the United States fails to do so there will be "consequences."
Meanwhile the U.S. is asking China for its cooperation.

Benefiting from the generosity of others at Christmas. There are times when a gesture of generosity makes a huge difference in another person's life. At the local IGA large brown paper bags filled with essential food items are sold for $10 each. The bags paid for by consumers are delivered to local food banks. When I checked out my groceries this week I bought two bags. Not one other person in my vicinity bought even one. One well-dressed woman who handed the person filling her grocery bag a $5 tip asked "what are those bags for". "The food bank." "Oh....how quaint."
And.....should I have turned in an older man, who looked down on his luck and who pocketed two cans of soup and headed for the exit?

Yesterday we spoke about the federal government's decision to accept approximately 1300 refugees from Syria.

In the U.S. a major class action lawsuit proposal has been filed against Home Depot arguing the company is in violation of federal labour law "for not compensating supervisors for time spent answering after-hours emails, calls and texts." We've heard on-air complaints from employees that their employers expect them to work at home on company business and that employees are not compensated for that extra time on the job. If the lawsuit against Home Depot is successful will that require employer in the U.S. to pay workers for work done off the clock? How would companies react to such a decision and what's the likelihood someone in Canada may copy the Home Depot employees in the U.S. and file a court case against an employer in Canada? What is the labour law in Canada on being required to do company work from home on your own time?

The tragic story of the death of Brian Sinclair in a Winnipeg hospital emergency room waiting room. An inquest into the death of Mr. Sinclair, a double amputee, who died of a treatable bladder infection after being ignored for 34 hours, resulted in 63 recommendations for the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. Mr. Sinclair's family point at "racism against aboriginal people in Canada's health care system" (Global News) as the cause and suggest the inquest was a "wasted opportunity" to get at the root causes of racism.
In 2011, while I was hosting on Corus Alberta radio we were talking about a recent suicide at the Royal Alex hospital E.R. in Edmonton, when the mother of the 34 year old man who hanged himself called into the show.

The Hippocrates Health Center in Florida, where two aboriginal 11 year old girls, Makayla Sault being one, were taken for cancer treatment, is being sued by former employees who allege through their lawyer they were fired illegally because they voiced worry "ethical transgressions in regard to the medical treatment of patients at the facility" were taking place. The former employees include a medical doctor accuse the directors of HHI (Brian Clement and his wife Anna Gahns-Clement) of 'unlicenced practice of medicine by non-licenced professionals'. The Clements call themselves "doctor" but aren't licenced physicians.
Canadian courts have twice decided the parents of the aboriginal children have the right to make the final decision concerning their cancer-care. In both cases McMaster Children's Hospital cancer specialists went to court to attempt to require the two children to be treated at McMaster, arguing their chances for a complete recovery were excellent. Vancouver lawyer Scott Taylor twice argued on air that the parents should not have been the final decision-makers with their children's lives at stake. On both occasions Taylor was almost unanimously opposed by callers. Now, with HHI under the spotlight and being sued by former employees for "ethical transgressions in regard to the treatment of patients" is it time to perhaps acknowledge Scott Taylor is correct?

After the domestic violence case of former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice and the Minnesota Vikings Peterson, the NFL was under significant pressure to take action.

Part 2 of segments on policing. Yesterday, questions following policing in the U.S. in the deaths of Michael Brown of Ferguson, MO and Eric Garner of New York City.
Today we ask about Canada's police. Is there a set of rules for police officers and a different set of rules for the rest of us...and if so, is that the way it should be, given the different realities police can encounter while on the job? In Montreal a provincial police officer driving an unmarked cruiser on a non-emergency assignment, with no siren or flashing lights, travelling at 122kmh in a 50kmh zone crashed into a family car killing 5 year old Nicolas Thorne-Belance. Mike Belance, father, had been turning left legally on a green light. The director of the provincial prosecutors office said no charges would be filed against the police officer and seemed to suggest the father of the 5 year old boy bore some responsibility because he was turning left on a solid green (entirely legal) light and not on a priority flashing green light. Public anger caused the Quebec justice minister to review the decision not to charge the police officer.
Meanwhile, Emma Czornobaj, the young woman who stopped for ducks crossing a highway and was found guilty of criminal negligence causing death, for the deaths of two motorcyclists who crashed into her vehicle will be sentenced in a few days (Dec 18). Prosecutors are seeking 9 months in prison.
Was it appropriate the Quebec provincial police officer driving 122kmh in a 50kmh zone wasn't charged for causing the death of a five year old child? The officer was involved in a non-emergency surveillance assignment of a former highly placed member of the Quebec Liberal Party. Meanwhile, Emma Czornobaj will be sentenced in a few days (Dec 18) for stopping for ducks on a Quebec highway, after being found criminally responsible for the deaths of the two motorcyclists who crashed into her car. No charge against the police officer ... criminal conviction against Emma Czornobaj. One set of rules for cops, another for the general public? And is that as it should be?
Also, the Chair of the Toronto Police Services Board, Alok Mukherjee, posted to Facebook comparing the number of Americans killed by ISIS, Ebola and police. The posting, complete with graphics & photographs read: "Americans killed by ISIS: 3. Americans killed by Ebola: 2. Americans killed by the police: 500+ Every year. Just a reminder of who the enemy is in this world." The Toronto Police Association called for Mukherjee's resignation. Mukherjee refused to resign, issuing a statement in which he said he "regrets the reaction" to the posting.
Guest: Scott Newark. Former Executive Officer. Canadian Police Association.

(White) privilege. A Georgetown University student in Washington, D.C. and his roommate were held at gunpoint and mugged recently. The student wrote a column for the campus paper stating he isn't angry. In fact, he "can hardly blame (the muggers)." "Who am I to stand from my perch of privilege, surrounded by million-dollar homes and paying for a $60,000 education, to condemn these young men as thugs". Friedfield writes the inequality gap in Washington, D.C., fuels these kinds of crimes.
Meanwhile, earlier this year, a taxpayer-supported conference on White Privilege, took place in Wisconsin with the objective partly stated as "whites need to acknowledge and work through the negative historical implications of 'Whiteness' and create for ourselves a transformed identity as White people committed to equity and social change." Phone and email invitation to the contact person at the White Privilege Conference to appear on this program received no reply. So what is "white privilege" about?

On yesterday's program we spoke with the former military veterans ombudsman, Col Pat Stogran and fmr Sgt. Major Barry Westholm about the class-action lawsuit brought by seven veterans of the Canadian military against the federal government for changing compensation for military veterans injured while in service. A lump sum payment has replaced the lifetime disability pension which was in place before all the political parties in Ottawa voted for this change in the so-called New Veterans Charter in 2006. Major Mark Campbell lost both of his legs to an improvised explosive device on June 2, 2008, in Afghanistan and is one of the seven former members of our military bringing forward the class-action suit.
Guest: Major Mark Campbell. Speaks about his life, his frustration with the federal government and his determination to right the wrong delivered to wounded and injured veterans by the federal government which in court argues it has no 'social contract' with military veterans.

The violence in Ferguson, Missouri in the death of Michael Brown vs mostly non-violent protest in various U.S. cities in the death of Eric Garner of New York City, both at the hands of a white police officer, with neither officer indicted criminally by grand juries.
University of Pennsylvania associate professor of religion Anthea Butler wrote a column in which she claimed former Ferguson, MO, police officer Darren Wilson, when Wilson shot Michael Brown, acted as an agent to the 'god of white supremacy.' I will be discussing that article.
Is police behaviour (in Canada as well as the U.S.) responsible for public anger which can lead to violence? Do police treat whites differently to blacks and other minority communities? Have an experience?
Also, David Clarke is the Milwaukee County Sheriff. He is outspoken in his condemnation of rioting, outspoken in his view of how police should react, outspoken in his criticism of president Barack Obama who Sheriff Clarke accuses of practiving "divide and conquer" politics, outspoken in his condemnation of Rev Al Sharpton and sees worse situations than Ferguson, Missouri, in the future.
Guest: Sheriff David Clarke.
Tomorrow we will make the case that police, in some cases definitely, get a much better deal than the public, when police step across the line, including breaking the law.
Do you believe there exists a set of rules for police and a different set of rules for the public?

Why is the federal government of Canada opposing military veterans from the Afghanistan campaign who have launched a class action lawsuit against the government for removing the disability pension for wounded veterans in favour of a one-time lump sum payment?
Why is Ottawa challenging Major Mark Campbell who lost both of his legs above the knee in Afghanistan and is one of the veterans who launched the class-action?
Why does the federal government argue in court it has no social contract with the men and women of Canada's military, as Sir Robert Borden, PM during WWI clearly stated?
Why would the widower of retired, 51 year old, Cpl Leona McEachern, who committed suicide on Christmas Day 2013, after protracted battles for medical coverage with Veterans Affairs Canada, receive a letter from Veterans Affairs Canada demanding repayment of 6 days of Cpl McEachern's December VAC cheque, because, as the letter stated, she died before the end of the month?
Cpl McEachern was a guest on this program and told of how his wife would go for long walks, listening to the program on her portable device.
Guest: Col Pat Stogran, Canada's first Veterans Ombudsman, appointed by the Harper government, but not reappointed after he criticized the government. Fmr. Commander of the PPCLI and first on-the-ground Canadian military commander in Afghanistan.
Also, military veterans (young veterans from the Afghanistan campaign) and their families have spoken on air about how the lump sum payment for their injuries is insufficient and how they are being ignored by VAC.
While many of our young military vets suffer with PTSD and physical injury which may limit their future options and are paid a reduced lump sum instead of a lifetime disability pension, former members of parliament are pocketing lifetime gold plated pensions they voted for themselves. Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe, for example, is receiving more than $140,000 per year in federal MP pension and for life (with a 10% COLA increase annually).
GUEST: Sgt. Major Barry Westholm. After more than 30 years, Sgt. Major Westholm resigned from military over how veterans were being mistreated.
Will the Conservatives pay a price in next year's federal election over military veterans anger about their treatment by the government?

Social networking is ripping into Rolling Stone magazine for its retraction of support for a woman who gave a detailed accounting of how she was gang-raped at a University of Virginia frat party. Rolling Stone yesterday, in an apology by its editor Will Dana, focused on a long piece it published last month about "Jackie" and her claim of being gang-raped. Rolling Stone did not interview any of the men Jackie said organized and participated in the sexual assault, and because, says Rolling Stone, Jackie asked the magazine not to do so. The fallout at the University of Virginia has been huge, with police investigations and more.
The fraternity says no such attack took place, although its frat house was vandalized after the article was published by RS.
Did Rolling Stone abandon Jackie, who provided the core of their major story? Jackie's supporters on social networking say RS did exactly that. Did Rolling Stone completely foul up its own story? With sexual and other assault stories against women making headlines (Cosby and charges against Jian Ghomeshi), how badly will this Rolling Stone major story impact on women and their willingness to come forward if attacked?
Guest: Professor Jane Kirtley. Media ethics professor and lawyer, University of Minnesota.
