The Roy Green Show Podcast
Following the court ruling over the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion, we look at the fate of the pipeline and Trudeau’s handling of the situation. Our guest Richard Masson, former CEO of the Alberta Petroleum Marketing Commission, says that what this means for Alberta and Canada’s economy is “real sad.”
The New York Times published an anonymous op-ed, claimed to be written by an appointed White House senior staffer. It offered a scathing take on U.S. President Trump and also assured that there was a resistance working inside the White House. But will any of this have any long-term effect on Trump or the Republican? And Will the New York Times be viewed differently now, for publishing this piece?
18,000 people recently marched in Paris in support of taking actions in response to climate change. California Governor Jerry Brown will hold a conference in response to Trump pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accord. But there is evidence that shows that the Global Carbon Tax would drive up food prices and push an additional 78 million people toward hunger. Dr. Bjorn Lomborg, international economist and environmentalist, discusses this.
The Humboldt Broncos begin their new season next week. They are matched up against the Nipawin Hawks in Nipawin, which is where the team was headed last April 6 of this year, when their bus was struck by a truck, resulting in the deaths of 16 people. We check in with Ryan Kessler of Global News Saskatchewan, to find out how the community of Humboldt is doing.
