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. Scott Newark, Former Alberta prosecutor and executive officer with the Canadian Police Association, speaks on the latest from the Admiral Mark Norman case.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - 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. - Guests: Scott Moe, Premier of Saskatchewan Dan Kelley, President and of the CEO: Canadian Federation of Independent Business Lorne Gunter, Edmonton Sun Mike Smyth, Vancouver Province & CKNW Steve Smith, Father of autistic teen Ian Holliday, Angus Reid Institute Research Associate.

The Roy Green Show - The attacks on Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott continue from Liberal caucus members and "independent" senators, as well as LPC-friendly commentators. Catherine Galliford and Janet Merlo join Roy to speak on the issue, as they both know about making a career-ending decision 'for the right reasons' and about being publicly castigated by the organization they identified. The federal political environment in Canada is increasingly bitter as accusations are exchanged particularly between the Conservatives and Liberals with Justin Trudeau and Andrew Scheer flailing at each other. Trudeau has labeled Scheer as alt-right and the Conservatives have a video campaign titled Trudeau vs the Truth. As the people of Alberta prepare for Jason Kenney to be sworn in as Premier on Tuesday, what is the mood in the province? Do Albertans want Kenney to follow through with his threat to shut off the taps for AB oil being shipped to B.C., as well as reopen the issue of equalization payments (with QC receiving 70% of the money, most of it siphoned from AB) and creating a constitutional crisis.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - The provincial conservative governments firewall continues to grow against Liberals and New Democrats. Now voters in six provinces have rejected the left! Roy gets Premier Scott Moe’s take on this shift. And then Sean Simson of IPSOS joins the podcast to discuss an IPSOS poll for Global News that shows that the gap between the Trudeau Liberals and Conservative Party of Canada is tightening. Why is this? Have people forgotten the SNC LAVALIN mess? What is going on in British Columbia? Gasoline prices are the highest in North America and Premier Horgan is accusing oil companies of 'gouging' consumers. Meanwhile the rest of Canada is turning to the right. For more on all of this, Roy speaks with one of the most closely followed opinion journalists in B.C., Mike Smyth. Joe Biden entered the race for the White House and immediately became the Democratic front-runner. Does this make President Donald Trump's effort to next November significantly more difficult? How are American voters likely to respond to the no doubt fireworks between Trump and Biden? Roy asked Fran Coombs – Executive editor with Rasmussen Reports – these questions and more. After last week's horrendous bombing of Christian churches and hotels in Sri Lanka and with ISIS claiming responsibility, along with the fact at least some of the terrorists came from affluent families and had good educations, what is the message we're receiving? And is what happened in Sri Lanka a stark warning to Western nations to not repatriate their citizens who abandoned their homelands to join and terrorize for ISIS? - Guests: Scott Moe, Premier of Saskatchewan Sean Simpson, Vice President of IPSOS Canada Mike Smyth, Columnist Vancouver Province, Global News Radio CKNW host Fran Coombs.
