The Roy Green Show Podcast

Jason Kenney, leader of the United Conservative Party of Alberta, joins Roy to assess the early days of the provincial election and to speak on how he and the UCP identify what Albertans want from their provincial government.
Then we speak with Rachel Curran, former Director of Policy for Prime Minister Stephen Harper. She gives her input on the Trudeau government budget and Liberal MP Judy Sgro’s demand that Jody Wilson Raybould and Jane Philpott "put up, or shut up."

Scott Taylor, former soldier and founder and the Canadian military magazine Esprit de Corps, says there criminal case against Canadian Vice-Admiral Mark Norman is dubious. Vice-Admiral Norman was charged with breach of trust for allegedly leaking information to Davie Shipbuilding of QC. Admiral Norman is denied payment of his legal expenses by Ottawa because he was considered 'guilty' according to a leaked Justice Department letter before the Admiral was even charged with any offence. Roy gets more on this from Scott Taylor.

One of the big issues engaging – and sometimes dividing – families across Canada at this time is the question face by graduating high school around this time of year: "university or the trades?" Roy brings on Professor Ken Coates and Catherine Swift, who both have personal connections to this question.

Liberal MPs are publicly turning on Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott, following the shutdown of the parliamentary justice committee’s investigation of the SNC/PMO/Trudeau/JWR issue. 

Meanwhile, Wilson-Raybould will be sending the committee copies of texts and emails which she says will substantiate her testimony at the committee last month.  What is most likely going on inside the Liberal Party of Canada? And why hasn't Prime Minister Trudeau simply removed Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott from the Liberal caucus?  We ask two former Liberal MPs, Dan McTeague and Michelle Simson.
