The push to decriminalize all drugs in Canada, Small towns affected by Trans Mountain pipeline disruptions, Support for wounded and injured Canadian veterans
The Roy Green Show Veterans Affairs Canada is boasting about the great support the Trudeau government is providing Canada's military veterans, particularly those who are wounded and injured. However, the veterans involved with the Equitas lawsuit - which sought to restore and protect disability pensions and benefits for veterans but was struck down late last year – would likely disagree with this assessment. After all, when asked about the Equitas lawsuit during one of his town halls earlier this year, the prime minister said, "Why are we still fighting certain veterans groups in court? Because they're asking for more than we are able to give right now." Guest: Major Mark Campbell, PPCLI, lost both legs to an IED attack in Afghanistan, member of the Equitas lawsuit - Justin Trudeau‘s government is being pushed by backbenchers and grassroots Liberals to decriminalize all illicit drugs, adopting a model similar to that used in Portugal where the emphasis is on getting drug users into treatment. However, Trudeau is reportedly against the idea and Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor says it would not work for a country like Canada. Guest: Bill Bogart. international expert on reducing the harm of risky behaviour, and author of ‘Off the Street: Legalizing Drugs’ and 'Permit But Discourage: Regulating Excessive Consumption' - British Columbia and Alberta are exchanging threats over completion of the Trans Mountain pipeline, and Kinder Morgan appears set to pull out of the project. These actions have consequences for all of Canada but small towns are feeling them first. And while worldwide prices of oil are rising, and Canadians bicker over the economic boon of Canadian oil, there is still the issue of U.S. groups funding the disruption of the Trans Mountain Pipeline.
