Unscientific drug tests risk changing innocent lives; the root cause of bullying & hazing; Sexual harassment & assault in the RCMP

The Roy Green Show Podcast

Is Cannabis impaired driving be addressed effectively? Do police have proper and scientific methods to determine someone is driving high? Our guest says absolutely not. Police Drug Recognition Experts may be guessing, at best, and changing the lives of innocent people through unscientific testing.

Since the revelations about the horrendous acts perpetrated in the name of hazing at St. Michael’s private school in Toronto, Canadians have been turning their focus again to bullying. But our guest says that this alone is not the answer, but that the focus should be on the root cause: teaching people to treat one another with respect. Carol Todd, mother of Amanda Todd and founder of the Amanda Todd Legacy Society, speaks to this.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police has announced that much more money than the $100 million already set aside will be needed to settle the class action lawsuit brought against the force by women officers and civilian employees for sexual harassment and assault. Our guest Janet Merlo is the leader of the lawsuit. She is also concerned that the RCMP is stage-managing the inquest into the suicide of a male officer who was mercilessly bullied.
