The Roy Green Show Podcast

-

Conservative MP Michael Cooper of Edmonton sits on the parliamentary justice committee and participated in the 3-hour testimony/Q&A session with Jody Wilson-Raybould last Wednesday. He speaks with Roy about what comes next and shares his thoughts on attending that explosive committee meeting

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?

How many Liberal MPs may decide to not run again in October?  At present Ontario Liberal MPs John Oliver, Ted Hsu and Celina Caesar-0Chavannes, as well as New Brunswick Liberal MP T.J. Harvey, have announced they will not seek re-election. Three weeks ago, former Liberal MP Dan McTeague predicted that we would see announcements like this. And now he is saying that it is not over yet.

Logan Boulet of Lethbridge, Alberta was a player for the Humboldt Broncos who lost his life because of the truck/team bus crash on April 7, 2018.  His family made the decision to donate Logan’s organs. Six people across Canada had their lives saved or improved as recipients of Logan Boulet's organs. The family and the Canadian Transplant Association has declared April 7, 2019 (and the years going forward) to be known as Green Shirt Day, a day dedicated to promoting organ donation awareness, while honouring the "Logan Boulet effect." Almost 100,000 Canadians signed their organ donor cards in the provinces with online registration in the days after the decision made by the Boulet family.
