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?" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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? Open fire, or hold fire because of the apparent age of the offender? Guest: Ari Goldkind. Criminal Lawyer and Media Commentator. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
