The Roy Green Show

The Roy Green Show Podcast - Yesterday Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs and CPC leader Andrew Scheer participated at a pipeline capacity increase rally at Moosomin, Saskatchewan. The point was to draw attention to the controversial Bill C-69 which will create major changes to review of proposed energy projects. Meanwhile, the Saskatchewan court challenge of the Trudeau government's imposition of a carbon tax on the province is currently underway. And Premier Blaine Higgs insists the Energy East pipeline construction issue must be revisited as his province experiences daily the importation of hundreds of thousands of barrels of foreign oil for New Brunswick refineries like the Irving refinery in Saint John.Premiers Scott Moe and Blaine Higgs join Roy to start the podcast, and discuss these issues. What does happen when an MP refuses an offer or refuses to buckle under pressure from the party leader and party whip who demand that MP end a personal practice? The story of former Liberal MP Michelle Simson answers that question. She was posting all of her MP expenses online, and she was sanctioned by party leadership for refusing to end this practice. Michelle joins fellow former Liberal MP Dan McTeague, to discuss the current state of the Liberal party and how she was handled. We touch base again with the organizers of the 80+ strong United We Roll truck convoy which left Red Deer, Alberta earlier in the week and now is in Ontario. The convoy is making its way to Ottawa for a protest rally on Tuesday, to alert the federal government to the economic plight of many thousands who work in the Western Canadian energy sector and to challenge Bills C-69 and C-48. And if a parliamentary ethics commissioner finds wrongdoing what is the actual penalty? Parliamentary ethics commissioner Mario Dion has announced an investigation into whether Justin Trudeau/the PMO pressured former Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould to persuade federal prosecutors to not go forward with a criminal trial of SNC-Lavalin. Former Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Brian Peckford writes on his blog: "As usual we go through the motions, trying to maintain that such 'motions' constitute real accountability. The falsity of it all is breathtaking." - Guests: Scott Moe. Premier of Saskatchewan Blaine Higgs. Premier of New Brunswick Michelle Simson (sanctioned former Ontario MP) Dan McTeague, former Ontario Liberal MP on the issue of party discipline Glen Carritt, convoy organizer Mark Friesen, who assisted in organizing the convoy Brian Peckford, former Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador Learn more about your ad choices.

Empire star Jussie Smollett appeared on Good Morning America on Thursday and told Robin Roberts that he believed it he was attacked by two men because of his anti-Donald Trump public position. The attackers reportedly shouted racist and homophobic slogans while pouring a noxious substance over Smollett and putting a rope around his neck. But now sources close to the investigation have told CBS and CNN that the two men arrested in the connection to the attack, Nigerian brothers who are cooperating with Chicago police, have claimed that Smollett paid them for a staged attack. According to Global News, Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told CBS Chicago they “can confirm that the information received from the individuals questioned by police earlier in the Empire case has in fact shifted the trajectory of the investigation.” This all raises a big question: why would Smollett or anyone want to stage an attack on themselves?

The Roy Green Show Podcast - The PMO/SNC-Lavalin/Justin Trudeau/Jody Wilson Raybould questions continue to gain momentum and national traction. Conservative Party of Canada leader Andrew Scheer joins the show to provide the CPC perspective and assessment. An online poll published by Macleans shows 73% of Canadians say Jody Wilson-Raybould has the most credibility, and 27% say Justin Trudeau does. What is the reaction from the Indigenous community of Canada to the question all of Canada wants to know the truth about? And how are Trudeau's changing claims and his treatment of Jody Wilson-Raybould being received by the indigenous community? Calvin Helin, lawyer and son of a B.C. hereditary Chief, speaks to Roy about this. Eleven-year-old Riya Rajkumar was murdered on her 11th birthday, Valentine's Day. Her 41 year old father Roopesh Rajkumar is facing a first degree murder charge. What went wrong on Valentine's Day evening? Did police miss an opportunity to perhaps save Riya? Toronto Sun columnist Joe Warmington writes today that even police are asking themselves that question. Across Canada, people are grieving over Riya’s senseless death. The 'United We Roll' Convoy left Red Deer, Alberta, two days ago and is making its way to Ottawa. It is scheduled to arrive next Tuesday. It will be a pro-pipeline, anti-carbon tax protest which challenges Bill C-69 and C-48 – and it will be where there for the federal government to witness up close. Organizers hope more trucks will join the convoy as it approaches Ottawa.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - Global News analysis reveals provinces across Canada largely fail to successfully tackle these financial crimes, with roughly three quarters of people accused going free. The conviction rate is about 27%. "It's scandalous" said forensic accountant Matt McGuire, who previously worked for FINTRAC, Canada's watchdog against money laundering. "It's quite clear the system isn't working. It's mind boggling."Roy is joined by Andrew Russel, the national online investigative journalist with Global News who covered this story.In B.C., opinion is strongly in favour of a public inquiry into organized crime and money laundering in the province. In fact, in a province-wide poll conducted by IPSOS for Global News, a B.C. money laundering public inquiry is backed by every demographic that was asked. Roy speaks with CKNW host and columnist with the Vancouver Province Mike Smyth, and later with Vice President of IPSOS Sean Simson The campaign for the October 21 federal election is clearly unofficially already underway. Two key regions in Canada for the vote are the Western provinces and Quebec. Angus Reid polling continues its review of Western Canadian attitude with its most recent polling release showing voters west of Ontario are open to a new 'Western Canada Party.' What does the poll reveal and what are the broader implications of the numbers?Leger polling in Quebec shows the Trudeau Liberals have a very comfortable lead among Quebec voters, while Andrew Scheer's Conservatives manages only to effectively come in tied with the separatist and resurgent Bloc Quebecois. What's going in Quebec? Do you have a common cold or the flu? That is the same question we find ourselves asking every year around this time. Jaston Tetro, a.k.a. “The Germ Guy,” explains how to tell the difference. And according to Global News, Measles cases tripled in Europe last year, reaching the highest it's been in a decade. Meanwhile there are concerns over superbugs being brought home to Canada by medical tourists. Jason Tetro gives his advice and thoughts on these issues.

Literally any day now an election may be called, one that is only second in importance to the October 21 federal election: Premier Rachel Notley must set an Alberta election date for no later than May 31. Who will Albertans most likely vote for? Rachel Notley and the NDP for a second term? Jason Kenney and the UCP, thereby establishing an even stronger provincial firewall against the federal Liberals and their carbon tax? How will the results affect the future of pipelines delivering Alberta oil to world markets? A new book titled ‘Orange Chinook’ contains chapters written by politicians and intellectuals about what happened in 2015 to elect Notley and the NDP, and what lies ahead for Alberta in literally just weeks.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - A Globe and Mail story declares anonymous sources revealed the Prime Minister’s Office attempted to interfere with the duties of former federal Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould, by pressuring her to intervene with the Public Prosecution Service of Canada and halt criminal prosecution of Montreal-based international engineering giant SNC-Lavalin, in favour of some type of remediation. Our first guest, Conservative Party of Canada leader Andrew Scheer, is demanding a parliamentary emergency meeting over the Trudeau/SNC-Lavalin allegation.And later Roy speaks with David Butt, Criminal lawyer and former prosecutor, about the available options that would permit Jody Wison-Raybould to answer the questions about any suggested interference.Meanwhile, Democracy Watch has released a letter to federal Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion, insisting he delegate any investigation to a provincial ethics commissioner because Dion, in their words, was “chosen” by the Trudeau cabinet without consultation with opposition parties as required by the Parliament of Canada Act. Duff Conacher, the co-founder of Democracy Watch and adjunct professor of law and political science at the University of Ottaway, joins the show. Serial killer Bruce McArthur and Quebec City mosque mass killer Alexandre Bissonnette were sentenced yesterday. Both pleaded guilty, yet McArthur received no consecutive sentences, and Bissonnette’s consecutive sentences were altered. McArthur will be eligible to request parole at age 91 and Bissonnette who was sentenced to life, will nevertheless be eligible for parole in 40 years at age 69. Many are asking, Why were there no clear-cut consecutive life sentences? Scott Newark joins the show to discuss these two cases, as well as that of Clinton Gayle.Gayle was convicted of first degree murder in the 1994 killing of Toronto police officer Todd Baylis and of attempted murder of Baylis' partner Constable Mike Leone.

There is a petition and national drive underway to keep him in prison for life.Scott Newark also weighs in on the news that Omar Khadr wants an Alberta youth court to declare his sentence to be expired.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - After a week of sentencing hearing for Jaskarit Singh Sidhu, the families of Humboldt Broncos now begin a 7 week wait for the judge's verdict. Roy speaks with Scott Thomas, whose son Humboldt Broncos player Evan Thomas was killed in the crash. Mr. Thomas met privately with truck driver Jaskarit Singh Sidhu last week. He shares how he felt after that experience, and what the sentencing hearing has been like for him. Western Canada does not feel it is being treated fairly. Angus Reid conducted a national poll which we spoke about with Shachi Kurl, exec director of Angus Reid last weekend. And this past Wednesday, David Akin wrote an in-depth piece on the poll for Global News: Canadians in the West More Than Those in the East Feel That Ottawa Doesn't Treat Them Fairly. Today we get a western premier’s take on this: Scott Moe, Premier of Saskatchewan, joins the conversation with Roy Green. Vivian Krause is a researcher who revealed the money trail from U.S. entities to Canadian environmentalist Non-Governmental Organizations, to keep Alberta oil from international markets and maintaining the U.S. monopoly on Canadian oil. Now, there are reports that NGO's plan to lobby Senators to nix a cross-country tour to hear Canadians views on federal environmental legislation. So who is funding these NGO's? Vivian Krause weighs in. Reports from the U.K. media say British security services are resurrecting Cold War plans to evacuate the Queen and Royal Family from London should there be a 'hard Brexit' followed by rioting in London. British military reservists have also been placed on standby alert. Professor Alan Sked is the founder of UKIP and has been dubbed “the man, without whom, there would be no Brexit.” He offers his opinions on what has become of the movement, and on these reported preparations.And then Roy is joined by Swiss member of parliament Luzi Stamm to discuss the importance and value of referenda and what is happening in the U.K. In Switzerland several referenda are conducted annually, the results of which are constitutionally binding on the Swiss federal government. Whereas various factions in the U.K. are trying to upend the Brexit referendum decision, even though the British people voted by majority to exit the European Union.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - Canada has taken the lead in refugee settlement for the first time in 72 years, according to new data compiled by a researcher at the University of Calgary. In 2018, Canada received more planned refugees than any other country. Is it fair that Canada is shouldering so much of the worldwide refugee resettlement burden? We’ve been hearing about them for weeks now – the Yellow Vest protesters. Who are they? We know the movement started in France in response to fuel tax hikes, but what message is behind the movement that has established itself in Canada? Roy speaks with Mark Friesen, a Yellow Vest organizer from Saskatchewan, to get an idea of what the movement in Canada is all about. Mark is also an organizer of the truck convoy that is planning to travel from Alberta to Ottawa to protest numerous policies of the Trudeau government.And then, Roy is joined by a University of Western Ontario professor who says northern countries are under pressure from the United Nations Agenda on Social Development, which includes the Compact on Migration. Professor Salim Mansur wrote a column in the American Thinker entitled ‘Justin Trudeau's Canada Embraces a World Without Borders’. Lyle and Carol Brons are the parents of the Humboldt Broncos’ athletic therapist Dayna Brons, who lost her life in the horrific bus crash last April. They join Roy to weigh in on the five days of sentencing hearings for Jaskarit Singh Sidhu that are scheduled to begin tomorrow. Singh Sidhu has pleaded guilty to all criminal charges related to the deaths and injuries on the Broncos team bus, which was struck by the massive semi-truck he was driving. We often discuss the perpetrators of crime in Canada, but what about the victims? Roy is joined by a pair of guests to discuss what victims of crime face when dealing with the justice system and how it both works and doesn’t work. When Joe Wamback’s son Jonathan was 15 years old, he was horribly beaten by a gang in a park directly across from the family home in Newmarket, Ontario. Since then, Joe and his wife Lozanne have devoted their lives to working with and for victims of crime. In 2012, Joe walked across Canada to raise awareness of crime and victims. He’s appeared before parliament and the Senate, and has organized events across Canada for crime victims.Scott Newark is a friend of the show and a frequent guest with years of experience dealing with the Canadian justice system. He’s a former Alberta crown prosecutor, former executive director of the Ontario Office for Victims of Crime and former senior policy advisor to a federal Minister for Public Safety. Roy, Joe and Scott are later joined by Jessie Melo, the daughter of Canadian boxer Eddie "The Hurricane" Melo who was murdered in a contract killing by Charles Gagne. Melo’s killer is currently serving a life sentence with no eligibility for parole for 12 years at the Beaver Creek Institution in Gravenhurst, Ontario. Gagne, with numerous armed robberies on his record has received a 60-day work pass with no supervision required. Jessie Melo is furious about the work pass development, both with how secretively it’s been handled and that the prosecutor in Gagne's murder trial is now Gagne's chief booster. Guests: Robert Falconer, Research associate at the School of Public Policy, University of Calgary, author of the study on refugee settlement in Canada Mark Friesen, Yellow Vest organizer and representative, Saskatchewan Professor Salim Mansur, Political Science Professor, University of Western Ontario, research focuses on international relations and comparative politics with special interest in the politics of South Asia and the Middle East Carol and Lyle Brons Joe Wamback Scott Newark Jessie Melo Learn more about your ad choices.

A multi-year study by the American Psychological Association has concluded traditional masculinity is harmful to boys and men. Traditional masculinity ideology links "constricted notions of masculinity" to aggression, homophobia and misogyny, saying such notions "may influence boys to direct a great deal of their energy into disruptive behaviours such as bullying, homosexual taunting and sexual harassment rather than healthy academic and extracurricular activities." What are the psychologists talking about? Subscribe to the Roy Green Show Podcast for other fascinating interviews and conversations.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - Earlier this week in court in Saskatchewan, Jaskarit Singh Sidhu pleaded guilty to all 29 charges related to the horrific crash between his B-train semi-truck and a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team. The families of all who lost their lives or were injured in the collision will now be spared a trial, which Sidhu's lawyer suggests is what Sidhu wanted. Roy talks to Scott Thomas, a father who lost his son in the crash.Later, Roy asks Scott Newark what sentence might Jaskarit Singh Sidhu expect, and how much influence will Victims’ Impact Statements might have on the sentencing? Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said nothing of significance about Canada’s oil industry and energy sector, while in Regina earlier in the week. He also said nothing reassuring to foreign investors who have written to him, urging him to support the oil sands. All the while, there remains the issue of the rights of First Nations, regarding pipeline construction and natural resources development. Our guest argues that the planned convoy of trucks from Red Deer, Alberta, to Ottawa, to deliver a noisy protest against federal policies and legislation placed in the way of pipelines is the wrong approach. Roy speaks with Ken Coates, to find out why he believes there should instead be a massive convoy of tanker trucks, filled to the brim with oil, making their way to Alberta and deliver that oil to Vancouver. Canada granted asylum to a Saudi teen who fled alleged family abuse. The teen's claim is she is being abused by her family and if she had been forced to return, she would have been killed. The UN declared Rahaf al-Qunun a refugee and requested Australia take her in, then the UN withdrew its request of Australia and now she is in Canada. What is the story here? Guests: Scott Thomas, Father of Evan Thomas, who played for the Humboldt Broncos Scott Newark, former Alberta Crown prosecutor, professor at SFU, former senior policy advisor to a federal Minister for Public Safety, former executive director for the Canadian Police Association Ken Coates, Canada Research Chair in Regional Innovation, Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, University of Saskatchewan.

Drunk driving laws are changing in Canada, and many in the legal profession consider this a violation of civil rights.
