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. Guest: Richard Lawhern PhD. His wife and daughter are chronic pain patients and Lawhern is on the forefront of the U.S. fight by pain patients and their advocates to stop cruelty and DEA swat teams raiding doctors’ offices "their patients terrorized at gunpoint."

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.

Six Canadian Premiers sent a letter to Justin Trudeau warning the PM that the C-69 and C-48 legislation are threats to Canada's economic health, as well as national unity. Trudeau scoffs. As summer pre-campaign looms, Liberals continue to trail the Conservatives everywhere in Canada except Quebec. This is according to an IPSOS poll for Global News. The RCMP was created to control Indigenous people. Can that relationship be reset? After massive public demonstrations and clashes with police over an extradition bill, Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam has said she is putting the legislation on hold. How much impact do public protests have? Students from 1600 cities walked out of class over climate change in May. The Gilets Jaunes weekly and violent demonstrations in France forced the Macron government to back away from announced policies. In the U.S. in 2017, the Women's March became the largest protest in American history. The World Health Organization has declared the growing Ebola threat in Africa, which has now crossed from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Uganda, is not yet an international health emergency.
