Roy Green Show Podcast, Sept 17th: Upcoming funeral for Queen Elizabeth, What Pierre Poilievre leadership will bring, Officers killed in the Line of Duty

The Roy Green Show Podcast, September 17th 2022

From London: Ben O'Hara Byrne reports on preparations for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth.

        Guest: Ben O'Hara Byrne. Host: A little more conversation. Corus radio nationally.

Pierre Poilievre a week into his leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada certainly continues to lay down the gauntlet to Justin Trudeau. We speak with one of Poilievre's earliest supporters within the Conservative Party about what Senator Denise Batters believes a Pierre Poilievre leadership will bring to the CPC and what Canadians might expect from the official opposition and its leader. (Most will recall Senator Batters very public challenge of Erin O'Toole when he was CPC leader which led to the expulsion from the CPC MP caucus by O'Toole, although the party's Senate caucus refused to expel Batters.)

             Guest: Senator Denise Batters (Saskatchewan)

When police officers are killed in the line of duty it is their immediate families which suffer most. We speak with Jason Harnett whose brother Andrew, a Calgary Police Service Sergeant was killed on New Year's Eve, 2020, after being dragged by a fleeing vehicle and falling into the path of an oncoming car following a routine traffic stop. The driver of the fleeing car was 17 at the time and faces a murder trial. A second occupant of the car who Sgt. Harnett was in the process of arresting on outstanding warrants pled guilty to manslaughter and will be out of prison before Sgt Harnett's then unborn son will reach his 4th birthday. Sunday, September 25, the first post-Covid delayed Canadian Police and Peace Officers Memorial service will take place in Ottawa. Sgt Harnett will be recognized.        

           Guest: Jason Harnett. Brother of Calgary Police Service Sergeant Andrew Harnett. 

When a police officer is murdered in cold blood the entire police community in Canada suffers and rallies. On Monday (Sept 12) Toronto Police Service Constable Andrew Hong was shot and killed execution-style by Sean Petrie who according to police had been waiting at a Mississauga, Ontario, Tim Hortons for more than 2 hours for a police officer to appear. Petrie had earlier hijacked a vehicle which also involved him shooting one person who suffered life-altering injuries. Petrie then drove to his former employer's place of business and shot and killed the 38 year old father of 2 young girls and shooting two other persons at the auto body shop with one victim not expected to survive. - Petrie was then shot and killed by police near Hamilton. 

             Guest: David Perry. Former Toronto Police homicide unit detective and 20-plus year member of the Toronto police. Now CEO of Investigative Solutions Network.
