The Roy Green Show

Correctional Service Canada has started a needle exchange program to begin in Canadian prisons. Is this beneficial for inmates or does it bring too much unnecessary risk to the prisoners and to the guards?

As well, the Canada Border Services Agency has moved border officers from other posts to Quebec City, in response to the thousands of illegal border crossings from the U.S.

And Hassen Diab is a Lebanese-Canadian citizen and university professor who France alleged was behind a 1980 terrorist attack on a Paris synagogue that killed four people. France issued an extradition request which was granted by a federal court. Diab was extradited in 2014 and imprisoned for three years before France returned him to Canada with no French charges laid. Our guest Scott Newark wrote a column for InvestigativeProject.org questioning how the extradition of Hassen Diab was handled and whether or not it should have ever taken place.
