The Roy Green Show Podcast
The Equitas Society has been fighting a legal battel for the return of full lifetime pensions for wounded and injured members of the Canadian Armed Forces. This week the Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear an appeal of a BC Court’s decision against the Equitas Society. What is next for the Equitas Society and what needs to be done for veterans in Canada?
This has been a perfect week for assessing how people perceive bias in main stream media, and how much bias there actually is. How valid are accusations of “fake news”?
Some reports claim the South African government is preparing to evict white farmers from their land without compensation. Some are saying that white farmers have found themselves facing physical threat as well. What is the true story?
