The Roy Green Show

-

The attacks on Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott continue from Liberal caucus members and "independent" senators, as well as LPC-friendly commentators. Catherine Galliford and Janet Merlo join Roy to speak on the issue, as they both know about making a career-ending decision 'for the right reasons' and about being publicly castigated by the organization they identified.

The federal political environment in Canada is increasingly bitter as accusations are exchanged particularly between the Conservatives and Liberals with Justin Trudeau and Andrew Scheer flailing at each other. Trudeau has labeled Scheer as alt-right and the Conservatives have a video campaign titled Trudeau vs the Truth.

As the people of Alberta prepare for Jason Kenney to be sworn in as Premier on Tuesday, what is the mood in the province?  Do Albertans want Kenney to follow through with his threat to shut off the taps for AB oil being shipped to B.C., as well as reopen the issue of equalization payments (with QC receiving 70% of the money, most of it siphoned from AB) and creating a constitutional crisis. And, is the Albexit sentiment real? 

Dan McTeague joins Roy to talk about the cost of fuel in Vancouver and across Canada. Gas prices are over $1.70 per litre in Vancouver. They also talk about the carbon tax and "rebate scam", and what will prices look like for gasoline this summer?

Roy shares a personal experience with having to have his dog put down. Dr. Stanley Coren, Psychology professor and dog behavior expert, joins Roy for the conversation. Coincidentally Stan just today wrote a blog piece titled 'Are there dogs in Heaven?'
