The Roy Green Show Podcast
Is Canada's marijuana legislation just blowing smoke? Kevin Sabet, former U.S. Senior Advisor on National Drug Control, says yes. And criminal lawyer David Butt weighs in on some of the more pressing legal questions surrounding marijuana, possession charges and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Later, Peter McKay is Canada’s former Minister of Justice/Attorney General, but he is also a dad with concerns about the marijuana legislation and cannabis as a gateway drug.
The Saudi government now says Jamal Khashoggi died in a fight. But was it anything less than a fight for his life? Khashoggi was more than just a reporter and there could be more at play than originally assumed. Dr. Christian Leuprecht, author of ‘North American Strategic Defense: Security and Sovereignty in an Uncertain World,’ was in Turkey when Khashoggi was killed and shares his insights on the situation.
Regardless of the motivations behind the killing of Khashoggi, the world is becoming increasingly dangerous for journalists. Toronto Sun columnist Joe Warmington and Roy discuss the risks associated with the profession in the 2018.
Ontario MPP Dave Smith explains his private members legislation that would strip returning terrorists of their privileges in the province. Meanwhile, last week Roy talked with John Letts, the father of the man dubbed “Jihadi Jack” by the British media who is currently held prisoner in a Kurdish prison. Following that interview, John Letts wrote a letter to Canadian members of Canadian parliament, begging for his son to be allowed into Canada even though he is suspected of being an ISIS member.
Canada must prosecute returning ISIS fighters, according to Kyle Matthews, Executive Director of the Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies.
Jessie Melo’s father, professional boxer Eddie “Hurricane” Melo, was shot and killed in Toronto by a contract killer in 2001. The hitman, Charles Gagne, was out on day parole when he shot Eddie Melo. Now Gagne is seeking full parole. Jessie Melo is furious, and contacted Roy and asked to share the story. She is joined by Former Alberta Prosecutor Scott Newark.
