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.

Guests:

Scott Thomas, father of Evan Thomas

Scott Moe, Premier of Saskatchewan

Vivian Krause, researcher

Professor Alan Sked, London School of Economics Professor Emeritus

Luzi Stamm, Swiss member of parliament with the Swiss People's Party.
