The kingpins of illegal & criminally distributed fentanyl in Canada; @FarmerMegzz explains farming to Catherine McKenna; China's anger with Canada

The Roy Green Show Podcast

Illegal and criminally distributed fentanyl from China is killing Canadians who come in contact with it. This illicit fentanyl is what drives up the number of deaths among those who are addicted. Sam Cooper, an investigative reporter with Global News, traced the spread of this drug and found an underlying concerns surrounding spies, diplomatic relations with China, money laundering and even the rising real estate prices in Vancouver.

@FarmerMegzz is the Twitter handle of a young Saskatchewan woman and farmer who is known for challenging politicians and misconceptions about farming online. We call her Megzz. Last week, in an exchange with Federal Minister of the Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna, Megzz found herself receiving inappropriate instructions on farming from McKenna. She does not see McKenna’s assumptions as a political issue but believes they should be discussed.
Meanwhile Jocelyn Bamford is the founder of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada. In response to Prime Minister Trudeau’s comments on toxic masculinity in male workers, Jocelyn wrote for the Toronto Sun. Her article was ‘Women need to fight Trudeau's gender insults toward men’ and she joins Roy to expand on it.

Internationally recognized cyber security and digital forensics expert Daniel Tobok of Cytelligence Inc. weighs in on the issue of Huawei. The company is not just in the news because of the arrest of the company's CFO in Canada. Global News reports that former Prime Minister Stephen Harper says the U.S. has encouraged western allies "to essentially push Huwei out of the emerging 5G network.” He added “my personal view is that that is something western countries should be doing in terms of our long-term security issues."
And then Roy speaks with Scott Newark, on the political and legal side of the Huawei issue. China's state media lashes out at Canada over arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou and warns Canada of "serious consequences" with the Chinese government summoning Canadian Ambassador John McCallum.

Roy talks to Canadians about the possibility of Alberta separating, following the major response to Roy's interview with Lawrence Solomon. He also replays his interview with Solomon, concerning his Financial Post column 'If Alberta turns separatist, the Rest of Canada is in big trouble.'

Adam Schiff, Democrat member of Congress is quoted as saying "There's a very real prospect that on the Day Donald Trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him. That he may be the first president in quite some time to face the very real prospect of jail time."   AND Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) said today that it would "certainly" be an impeachable offence if it's proven that President Trump directed illegal payments during his campaign."  Nadler adds the latest indictments and filings brought by prosecutors against former associates of President Trump show that he was at the centre of 'massive fraud' against the public. Toronto Criminal Lawyer Ari Goldkind discusses this situation with Roy.
