The Roy Green Show Podcast - Canada's newest Premier worries the Canadian federation is fractured, and is calling on the Trudeau government to not funnel nearly 70% of equalization to Quebec and supports resumption of interest in Energy East and challenges Trudeau's national carbon tax. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe joins the program for a year-end look at the Carbon tax, Western Canada’s energy sector, the Trudeau government. And then Premier Moe discusses the coming court case in which Saskatchewan will challenge whether the federal government has the constitutional right to impose a tax over the specific objections of a directly affected provincial government. With a national election just 10 months away, Roy talks with President and CEO of Ipsos Darrell Bricker, to find out what Ipsos has heard from Canadians. How are Trudeau and the federal Liberals holding up, in the public’s opinion? A massive truck convoy is in the works, to travel from Western Canada to Ottawa as a visible and audible expression of Western frustration with the Trudeau government's indifference for the energy industry. In May of 2009 Bela Kosoian was a University of Montreal law student, and a multilingual immigrant from the former Soviet Union. Kosoian failed to hold the handrail on an escalator in Montreal, and was challenged by a Montreal police officer. When she questioned why the officer was aggressive with her, she was confronted by a second officer at the bottom of the escalator. Bela was handcuffed, arrested and charged with ignoring a pictogram which told her to hold onto the escalator hand rail. The case has wound its way through Quebec courts over 9 years, including the Court of Appeal. Now the Supreme Court of Canada has agreed to hear the case. As with any Supreme Court decision, the impact will be nation-wide.

This is a key reason for why General James Mattis resigned as Secretary of Defense this week. Our guest is Former U.S. Navy Lt Commander Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, the President of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy.

A new Leger Poll for the Montreal Economic Institute shows that 66% of Quebecers would prefer their oil come from Western Canada. Only 7% said they would want oil from U.S. If this is the case, then is Canada's Prime Minister talking out of both sides of his mouth?

The Roy Green Show Podcast - Roy talked with a clearly frustrated and angry Scott Moe, Premier of Saskatchewan. The Premier had learned that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had stated in a year-end interview that “there is no project on the table” for resuming the Energy East pipeline. The Prime Minister when on to say that “there is clarity under the current approach, there is no support for a pipeline through Quebec.” Obviously, this sentiment does not sit well with many people, as it seems like Quebec makes the decision as far as Canada’s Prime Minister is concerned. Roy plays back his conversation with Premier Moe. The “Gilets Jaunes,” or “Yellow Vests,” continue to protest in France for the fifth weekend in a row. The protests have spread to Belgium and the Netherlands, and there is talk of unrest growing in Austria and perhaps Germany as well as the U.K. Professor Cheryl Benard is the President of ARCH International, a Washington-based non-profit research and advocacy organization with a presence in Iraq, she joins Roy to explain what is happening in Europe. Then, Professor Benard discusses the law Donald Trump has signed to protect Christians in Iraq and Syria, and MP Michelle Rempel addresses what Canada is doing for the threatened Yazidi people in Iraq.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - Next Tuesday new federal legislation will allow police to demand a breath sample from a motorist even if there is no suspicion of drinking and driving. Is this a violation of constitutional rights? The Canadian Civil Liberties Association worries the legislation will be discriminatory toward minorities. Our guest Richard Lawhern, Ph.D. Director of Research with the Alliance for the Treatment of Intractable Pain, says “There are several provable falsehoods in” in a new article from U of T magazine, ‘How The Medical System is Trying to Wean Patients Off Opioids.’ Most blatantly false is the stated position that physicians over-prescribing to their patients is in any way even related to significant elevation risk for opioid addiction or mortality. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Energy East will never proceed because “there is no support for a pipeline through Quebec.” Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe joins the show, to remind Trudeau that he is Prime Minister all Canada’s Provinces and Territories, not just Quebec. Omar Khadr is seeking changes in his bail conditions. Why didn't Khadr's lawyers appeal for full parole in 2015? Scott Newark says that Khadr was eligible for it at the time.

He is concerned that Canada will become part of a borderless 21st Century world under U.N. control in which there will be no room for a free press or freedom of speech.Meanwhile, Switzerland has decided it too will not ratify the U.N. Compact on Migration. The country was supportive and was prepared to sign on, but now will instead wait for the outcome of the debates on the issue in the Swiss parliament.

The Roy Green Show Podcast Is Cannabis impaired driving be addressed effectively? Do police have proper and scientific methods to determine someone is driving high? Our guest says absolutely not. Police Drug Recognition Experts may be guessing, at best, and changing the lives of innocent people through unscientific testing. Since the revelations about the horrendous acts perpetrated in the name of hazing at St. Michael’s private school in Toronto, Canadians have been turning their focus again to bullying. But our guest says that this alone is not the answer, but that the focus should be on the root cause: teaching people to treat one another with respect. Carol Todd, mother of Amanda Todd and founder of the Amanda Todd Legacy Society, speaks to this. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police has announced that much more money than the $100 million already set aside will be needed to settle the class action lawsuit brought against the force by women officers and civilian employees for sexual harassment and assault.

In his fiscal update federal Minister of Finance Bill Morneau has committed roughly $600 million in tax credits and incentives over five years for Canadian media organizations facing significant financial challenges. Is this move protecting media availability or is it an attempt to buy favourable coverage for Justin Trudeau's government heading toward the federal election? Roy has assembled a panel of media and political experts to debate and discuss the pros and the cons. Back-to-Work legislation passed the house of commons early this morning. Today the Senate will debate it before ratifying, and the Labour and the NDP are adamantly opposed. How much damage will this do to Truduea’s relationship with unions? The clerk Craig James and Sargent-at-Arms Gary Lenz were arrested and perp-walked out of the B.C. Legislature. They are now the subjects of an RCMP investigation.
