Investigators for the Commissioner of Canadian Elections agreed that the Chinese government before and during the 2021 federal election was actively engaged in pushing Chinese Canadian voters to vote against British Columbia (Steveston-Richmond East) MP Kenny Chiu. These actions concluded the investigators .. "According to Chinse Canadian interview subjects, this invoked a widespread fear amongst electors, described as a fear of retributive measures from Chinese authorities should a CPC government be elected. This included the possibility that travel to and from China could be interfered with by Chinese authorities, as well as measures being taken against family members or business interests in Canada." Yet, concluded the Canadian Elections investigators, the actions by China did not break the (Canadian) law and urged the review of China's actions against CPC MP Kenny Chiu be halted. Chiu was elected in 2019 and defeated in 2021.

Guest: Raymond Hall. Former Air Canada captain, past president of the Air Canada Pilots Association and lawyer We revisited with our guests of 24 hours ago the issue of the rail strike/lockout and their dire predictions for Canadians when they joined us yesterday. Are they optimistic, is the delivery of $-billions in goods already too far behind to be resolved quickly? What must be done to end these rotating hits to our national economy and the well-being of Canadians (including holding on to jobs)? Guest: Dan Kelly. President/CEO, Canadian Federation of Independent Business Guest: Ron Foxcroft, Owner FLUKE Transport trucking firm in Hamilton, ON, chaiman of FOX 40 Industries (importer and exporter)  A British Columbia class-action lawsuit against the B.C. and federal governments over the safer supply drug program is waiting for certification.

Today’s podcast: Iran is threatening direct mlitary action against Israel and in the next days with a representative of the Tehran regime saying an aerial attack on Israel by Iran might last 3-4 days, saying "bloodshed would be carried out"(against Israel). Expectation is Hezbollah may launch a full-scale assault on Israel in coming days. Meanwhile the U.S. has an aircraft carrier taskforce stationed off the coast of Iran, ready to stand by Israel if needed.  What would Israel expect from its long-time ally Canada if conflict breaks out? The Trudeau government has been openly critical of Israel most recently. Guest: Iddo Moed. Israel's Ambassador to Canada. The race riots in England have abated after strong action by the new Labour government of Keir Starmer took action against far-right demonstrators/rioters. Some arrested, charged, tried and convicted within 6 days last week. While the violence may have abated, it would be foolhardy to assume the anger against migrants, Britain's refugee and immigration policies has disappeared. So, what now? What next? Are the rioters themselves surprised at the level of participatory support they received? Also of concern, as reported by Global News today, is the growing anti-tourist sentiment appearing in Europe. Perhaps in Canada as well. Some has to do with short term rentals cutting into possible long-term rental housing. Guest: Katja Hoyer, Anglo/German historian and professor at Kings College, London. Author of Beyond The Wall: A History of East Germany. - Originator of the Zeitgeist blog. Joe Warmington in the Toronto Sun wrote: Time to send a message and arrest those who terrorize motorist during protests. Protesters and demonstrators in Toronto last Tuesday were interfering with the flow of traffic with an aerial video showing a protester hitting a car with a protest sign and in other shots it appears demonstrators were going up along the driver's side of vehicles. "Terrifying" writes Warmington. One driver refused to stop for the demonstrators and drove through them knocking several to the ground. The protesters refused medical attention when an ambulance arrived and refused to provide a statement to police. The driver was not immediately charged.

A sudden pause in the war of words and legal action between the federal and Saskatchewan governments. A hearing scheduled at the Federal Court yesterday was cancelled as the Saskatchewan and federal governments are in reportedly in talks.  On Monday the Saskatchewan Attorney General stated the province had sought and been granted an emergency injunction to stop the Canada Revenue Agency from any collection/garnishment action by CRA against the province's bank account under the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act. According to CRA, Saskatchewan owes Ottawa more than $50 million under the Act, while the province argues the Trudeau government's demands are unconstitutional.  This after the federal government earlier this year removed the tax on home heating oil for Atlantic Canada for 3 years, but refused to extend the tax pause to other provinces and other means of home heating. Saskatchewan has neither collected, nor remitted to Ottawa any taxes on home heating fuels since January 1, 2024, as Premier Scott Moe last December promised us first on air Saskatchewan would not do so.   Guest: Bronwyn Eyre, Saskatchewan Attorney General.

Warren is a Western Canada listener and American immigrant to Canada who sent our program an email in which he argues if Donald Trump wins the November 5, U.S. general election and is returned to the White House as president, it is possible that Justin Trudeau may be returned as PM, perhaps with a majority government. Warren suggests Trudeau would make next year's federal election about running against Donald Trump and not Pierre Poilievre, who Trudeau will say "is a MAGA stooge who gets all his orders from Trump in the White House."    Warren fears "anti-Americanism plays well in Canada, especially in the East. So if Donnie Two-Scoops is back, Justin will be too. Canadians are that stupid."  We read Warren's email on air and there was non-stop response/reaction.

Episode 294: On the evening of December 21, 1883, near Bloomfield, Ontario, visitor Peter Lazier was murdered by two intruders at the farmhouse of Quakers Gilbert and Margaret Jones. The community, deeply affected, quickly organized a search. They traced footprints in the snow, leading to Joseph Thomset and the Lowder family's homes near West Lake. By the next day, Joseph Thomset and brothers David and George Lowder were arrested and charged with murder. The legal process moved rapidly. The coroner's inquest began the next day, followed by formal proceedings within a week. The trial, held at the Prince Edward County Courthouse in Picton just five months later, suggested the motive was robbery, aimed at stealing the $555 Gilbert Jones earned from selling hops. George Lowder and Joseph Thomset were found guilty of murder and hanged in June of 1884. Many felt justice was served, but others believed the law got it wrong, acting hastily without sufficient evidence. Sources: Prince Edward County The Canadian Encyclopedia | Quakers The Lazier Murder: Prince Edward County, 1884 — Robert J. Sharpe The Kingston Whig-Standard 24 Dec 1883, page 2 Ottawa Daily Citizen 24 Dec 1883, page 1 Manitoba Weekly Free Press 15 May 1884, page 2 The Lazier murder trial of 1884 – did they get the right men?

Today's podcast: Have the federal Liberals and their NDP partners, by introducing and passing the Orwellian legislation Bill C-59, which will silence the energy industry on the truth about emissions control initiatives and cost Canada $-billions. The industry will have to prove to the satisfaction of federal environment minister Steven Guilbeault, any facts on emission reductions. Fedgov states it wants to eliminate so-called "greenwashing" of emissions reporting. Now the Pathway Alliance, a consortium of Canada's six largest oil sands companies which have committed to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from oil sands production by 2050, has basically closed down its website out of concern of the anti-greenwashing component of C-59. Failure to satisfy the fedgov's definition of the truth would result in fines of up to $15-million. and: The election of former Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi as Alberta NDP leader.

A Toronto Sun story by Joe Warmington has shown a cube van in Toronto carrying carrying video advertising depicting people carrying Palestinian flags, praying and protesting, with the banner headline on the van reading Is this Yemen? Is this Syria? Is this Iraq? No. This is Canada. Wake up Canada. You are under siege.  There have been accusations this is hate speech and Toronto's chief of police Myron Demkiw promised an investigation and TPS has posted online this is Islamophobic expression and provided contact information for anyone who has information.  Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow also denounced the van and its messaging. Others are saying what is being displayed in Toronto is nothing more than freedom of expression, guaranteed all Canadians, unless and except it is defined as hate speech, per the Supreme Court. Meanwhile another truck has been seen in Toronto displaying the words "Zionism is terrorism."  Is that hate speech, or freedom of expression? Guests: Joe Warmington.

Today's podcast: Israel is challenging PM Justin Trudeau and FM Melanie Joly and their statements concerning the "Israeli ceasefire deal," adding "Secretary Blinken (U.S. Secretary of State) was clear when he said that Hamas should agree to the deal and asked that every country with a relationship with Hamas should press it to do so without delay.

Today's podcast: We asked Israel's Ambassador to Canada if he may wish to address the apparent diminution of the decades-long allyship and friendship between Canada and Israel. From statements made by prime minister Trudeau and foreign affairs minister Melanie Jolie, to Canada abstaining from voting on full UN membership for a State of Palestine, to Toronto mayor Olivia Chow refusing to be present for the raising of the Israeli flag on Israel's Independence Day earlier in the week. Chow's office suggested the Mayor believed the raising of the Israeli flag at this time would be too divisive.   Israel's Ambassador has agreed to speak to the current relationship between his country and Canada. Guest: Iddo Moed. Israel Ambassador to Canada. 10 year old Sammy Teusch of Indiana committed suicide May 5 following relentless bullying at school. His parents had pleaded for help from the school administration but remain dissatisfied with the school leaders response/actions. Is the suicide of a 10 year old boy not sufficient for the issue of bullying to spur real and meaningful action on this scourge which takes place at schools (and online)?

Past president of the Ontario Medical Association and author of: When Politics Comes Before Patients.   Early in the week a wildfire approaching Fort McMurray, AB, with evacuations beginning raised the spectre of 2016 and The Beast. Then came the rains and cooler temps. The wildfire is not out, but no longer the threat of Monday/Tuesday. Guests: Brian Jean. Fort Mac resident and Alberta Minister of Energy and Minerals. Lost his home to The Beast in '16. And: Patty Rustige. Fort Mac resident. She and her Fort Mac firefighter husband also lost their home in the 2016 fire. Husband tasked with trying to save home in a different Fort McMurray neighbourhood to where he and Patty lived. Still rebuilding their home. Son also lost his home.     B.C. Court turns unfaithful U.K. Man's "mistake" into a 'nightmare.' The story of E.S. and G.W. G.W. Is an unfaithful husband from the U.K. who engaged in a relationshp with E.S. whose court claim is G.W. is the father of her child and she has the right to pursue retroactive child support, something G.W. has refused to accept and doesn't want his marriage to be negatively affected by his behaviour. A B.C. Judge has granted E.S. a document which will allow her to pursue $100,000 in retroactive child support in a British court. Our guest says this is also a message for women who have not pursued child support and perhaps because the father has been threatening. We will also return to a term our guest introduced two week ago on the program and which most listeners had never heard before:  "Marriage-like." This is how an unofficial relationship which goes on for some time, even with both parties living in separate homes can be deemed by a court to be "marriage-like" and requiring settlement of assets on breakup as the court would in a disolved marriage claim.

Today’s podcast: The passing of Rex Murphy. Guest: Catherine Swift. Multi-decade friend and president of Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada. Also member of our Beauties and the Beast panel. And: Callers, reflecting on what made Rex special.   Selina Robinson was until recently a senior cabinet minister in the British Columbia provincial NDP government of David Eby. Then her comment on a B'nai Brith organized panel show that before Israel became a state its territory was just "a crappy piece of land with nothing on it," where several hundred thousand people lived, but it didn't produce anything and didn't have an economy. The backlash to MLA Robinson's statement caused her eventual and bitter resignation from cabinet and the NDP party as she claimed antisemitism exists among NDP caucus members. Now MLA Robinson accuses premier Eby of "gaslighting" the Jewish community with empty promises to do something about antisemitism (per Vaughn Palmer in Vancouver Sun). Guest: Selena Robinson. Independent MLA, British Columbia.   Canada's system of MAID (Medical assistance in dying) is under increased international and national scrutiny and criticism. In 2021, more than 10,000 people chose to die with physician administered drugs. The question of whether mental illness is a sole qualifier for MAID was addressed in parliament, reminding that in 2015 the Supreme Court ruled adults with "a grievous and irremedial medical condition" were eligible for assisted death. Now there is growing fear people under economic strain are accessing MAID.  In 2021, more than 10,000 people accessed MAID in Canada, while at the same time the numbers of doctors engaging in providing medical assistance in dying is dropping. Meanwhile a leading United States medical ethicist is calling for MAID to immediately be adopted in the State of New York.  Guest: Dr. Arthur Caplan. Mitty Professor of Bioethics. NYU Grossman School of Medicine.  Author: Smart Mice, Not so smart People.   Split headline: Canada's divorce rate is at its lowest in 50 years. However, Fewer people are entering marriage. This according to a report from the Vanier Institute of the Family. What gives? Hold on though! There's another consideration. What is happening to couples who live together in common-law relationships, but choose not to marry? In 2021, according to the Vanier report, 22.7% of couples were living common-law and when they split up the numbers are shifted to the divorced column.

Selina Robinson was until recently a senior cabinet minister in the British Columbia provincial NDP government of David Eby. Then her comment on a B'nai Brith organized panel show that before Israel became a state its territory was just "a crappy piece of land with nothing on it," where several hundred thousand people lived, but it didn't produce anything and didn't have an economy. The backlash to MLA Robinson's statement caused her eventual and bitter resignation from cabinet and the NDP party as she claimed antisemitism exists among NDP caucus members. Now MLA Robinson accuses premier Eby of "gaslighting" the Jewish community with empty promises to do something about antisemitism (per Vaughn Palmer in Vancouver Sun). Guest: Selena Robinson.

Canada's system of MAID (Medical assistance in dying) is under increased international and national scrutiny and criticism. In 2021, more than 10,000 people chose to die with physician administered drugs. The question of whether mental illness is a sole qualifier for MAID was addressed in parliament, reminding that in 2015 the Supreme Court ruled adults with "a grievous and irremedial medical condition" were eligible for assisted death. Now there is growing fear people under economic strain are accessing MAID.  In 2021, more than 10,000 people accessed MAID in Canada, while at the same time the numbers of doctors engaging in providing medical assistance in dying is dropping. Meanwhile a leading United States medical ethicist is calling for MAID to immediately be adopted in the State of New York.  Guest: Dr. Arthur Caplan. Mitty Professor of Bioethics.

Today’s podcast:   Did Israel attack Iran Thursday in retaliation for Iran's missile and drone strike against Israel. Israel is not saying and Iran claims drones launched from within its borders were shot down, thereby setting aside a requirement for the shooting by the two principal regional opponents to continue. Perhaps.  Guest: Israel's Ambassador to Canada, Iddo Moed.   In this week's federal budget the commitment by the Liberals and Justin Trudeau was made to build 4 million homes by 2031. Is that even remotely possible?  Guest: Shane Wenzel. President/CEO of Shane Homes in Calgary. Shared with us last year that home buyers who had placed down payments on new homes were so financially stressed they were walking away from their under construction homes and willing to forfeit their deposits which Shane Wenzel was refunding his stressed buyers.   Frontline Canadian doctors are fed up with being forced by government bureaucrats/bureaucracy into turning more money over to government (witness capital gains change in 2024 fed budget). Doctors letter writing campaign begins, led by our guest. Guest: Dr. David Edward-Ooi Poon. Family physician, Public Health and Preventative Medicine physician. Founder, Professional Corporation Advocates. Beginning letter-writing campaign by MDs.  We talk Stanley Cup playoffs which begin tonight, leading to the opening game of the Stanley Cup final series on June 3. There is increased hope that a Canada-based NHL team will hoist the Stanley Cup. That has not happened since 1993, when the Montreal Canadiens, led by their Captain Guy Carbonneau won the final series against the Los Angeles Kings 4 games to 1, after having eliminated the New York Islanders, Buffalo Sabres and Quebec Nordiques, winning 16 games and losing only 3.   Guest:  Guy Carbonneau.

While the world's current focus is on the Israel/Hamas war, Ukraine's war with Russia has entered its third year and news from Ukraine is that the country's military is running seriously low on war fighting equipment and munitions as the U.S. primarily is holding up a major arms shipment due to Republican/Democrat political infighting. NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg has floated a plan for a 100-billion Euro, 5-year weapons support plan for Ukraine prior to the U.S. national election in November. NATO is calling on all its members to live up to their 2% of GDP military spending commitment that Canada has already said we will not reach.  While Ukrainian drones are now striking deep inside Russia, on the battlefields its military is facing operating with war equipment and mismatched ammunition. Meanwhile, French president Macron has not ruled out sending French ground troops into Ukraine to engage Russia there.

We speak with Toronto Police Association president Jon Reid about the letter sent by six members of Toronto City Council, two on the police board, challenging police action at pro-Palestinian protests and demonstrations, particularly on March 30 when several people were arrested after clashing with police. The councillors letter includes "it is deeply concerning to hear residents voicing fears about their freedom to engage in protests, demonstrations and large gatherings." Toronto Chief of Police Myhron Demkiw's statement in reply included "The service will always respect the right to lawful assembly, which we have done, consistently since October 7"......"When individual behaviour crosses into criminality, endangering officers or the public we will enforce the law, as is our duty....."last weekend alone, police officers were assaulted, spit on, a police horse was struck, lawful orders not followed and demonstrators attempted to obstruct officers who were effecting arrests." The Toronto Police Association in its statement wrote officers have exercised patience, have been professional and opted to de-escalate situations while "officers have been threatened with injury or death."  A demonstration is planned for Toronto this afternoon.

Today’s podcast:   A majority of Canada's premiers calling on the Justin Trudeau federal government to forego the scheduled for April 1 increase in the federal carbon tax. Trudeau insists premiers are lying about the tax when they insist it will only add to the financial burdens Canadian families are experiencing. The parliamentary budget officer told us for a second or third time on air on February 25 the carbon tax Canadian middle class families will pay will not be made revenue neutral by federal government rebates. The tax appears integral to the rapidly diminishing national support for the Trudeau government among voters. Guest: Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe.

It was sent to Justin Trudeau, Chrystia Freeland, Jagmeet Singh and Steven Guilbeault, cc: Pierre Poilievre, Roy Green and includes "we (George's family) are pretty much caved in financially, even after I've been working almost 60 hours overtime a month just to keep my family warm this winter and eating $1 noodle cups. Stop the attack on the lower and middle class, just Stop Stop Stop driving us into oblivion.

Today's Podcast "Axe the tax" Playback of our exclusive interview with Pierre Poilievre on his "axe the (carbon) tax" national election commitment - and separately Poilievre's reply to BC premier David Eby's claim that Poilievre's "axe the tax" messaging is from the CPC leader's "baloney factory." Keeping in mind the majority of Canada's premiers support Poilievre, including the only Liberal premier Dr. Andrew Furey of Newfoundland and Labrador. Guests: Pierre Poilievre (playback) Callers Just days after George Lovie, convicted first degree murderer of the parents of Don Edwards went AWOL while on day parole with an arrest warrant issued for Lovie, he was granted full parole by just two members of the National Parole Board.

Guests: Don and Tannis Edwards. Public frustration with and opposition to the carbon tax continues to grow. We heard from CPC leader Pierre Poilievre on his 'axe the tax' national pre-election commitment yesterday and today, as well as BC premier David Eby characterizing Poilievre's challenge of the carbon tax as being from PP's "baloney factory."  Listeners/callers have challenged the BC premier and an email sent by a Green Show listener to Trudeau, Freeland, Guilbeault and Singh, with Poilievre and me cc'd is brief, and describes the pain the carbon tax and misdirection by politicians who do not share the difficulties the average Canadian addresses daily continues to receive positive listener response. - As well, an IPSOS poll for RBC of last October details the distress Canadians, particularly younger adults, are experiences over money woes. A majority of these Canadians told IPSOS their personal relationships are impacted by financial stress and mental health has suffered as well. The Mental Health Commission of Canada previously affirmed unemployment and financial problems to be key risks for suicide and that when the economy turns down, depression and anxiety rise.

Today's Podcast: Pierre Poilievre's "axe the (carbon) tax" national campaign continues and despite BC premier David Eby not joining the majority of Canada's premiers supporting either ending the carbon tax, or at least delaying the implementation of its April 1 scheduled increase and describing Poilievre's letter to the bc premier requesting his support for the "axe the tax" initiative as something from the Pierre Poilievre "baloney factory" the CPC leader, who national polling shows continues with his national campaign. We speak with Poilievre about carbon tax, national economy (bank economists expressing deep concern), crime and justice, immigration, Melanie Joly's photo with Mahmoud Abbas and more. As well, on Monday a federal NDP motion in parliament will have MPs voting on the NDP's call for Canada's support for the establishment of a State of Palestine, as well as an end to arm shipments from Canada to Israel. Guest: Pierre Poilievre. Leader: Conservative Party of Canada For years it is said that in the aviation industry the cliche was "if it's not Boeing, I'm not going." Now it's rumoured the cliche has become "if it's Boeing, I'm not going." Boeing's terrible record of producing safe airliners over the last years again earlier this year, as well as last week was highlighted through mishaps involving 737 Max aircraft including the door plug blowing out of an Alaska Airlines 737 Max in January, a 787 Max Dreamliner which plunged without warning injuring up to 50 passengers last week, also last week a tire falling off a Boeing 757 seconds after takeoff from San Francisco airport and the nose wheel of another Boeing 757 airliner broke away while it was taxiing toward takeoff at Atlanta International Airport in January. Boeing is under FAA investigation. Last Sunday I flew from Orlando to Toronto on a 737 Max 8 and it was an uneasy experience. What is going on with Boeing? Guest: Captain Raymond Hall. Former head of the Air Canada Pilots Association and multi-decade Air Canada captain who flew Boeing airliners on major international routes.  G&M headline: More economists are getting deeply worried about Canada's future - and investors are taking notice. Earlier this month Scotiabank's head of capital markets economics Derek Holt wrote "I'm deeply worried about public policy in my country." Over last weekend BMO chief economist Doug Porter and National Bank strategist Stefane Marion joined the grim chorus. And the OECD projects Canada's economic performance this decade and through to 2060 will be dead last among advanced nations. Meanwhile, we have what the world needs and is willing to purchase, namely natural resources such as oil and natural gas. Guest: Professor Eric Kam. Macroeconomics, Toronto Metropolitan University.  When it comes to ethics and ethical behaviour and the stunningly minor penalties for ethics violations for ignoring of ethics from the PM down to the occupants of the very back benches in parliament what is the story?  A former Liberal MP shares with us that not only was there (for her) the demand of unethical behaviour, but as well there were in 2007 significant penalties if that demand was not adhered to by the MP. - As well, our guest's husband was present when coaching on violating ethics took place.  Guest: Michelle Simson, former Liberal MP  --------------------------------------------- Host/Content Producer – Roy Green Technical/Podcast Producer – Tom Craig If you enjoyed the podcast, tell a friend!

Get caught up on the year so far with this weekend's encore presentation of the Roy Green Show! Today's best of the best: We spoke in January about New Brunswick convicted murderers Bobby Mailman and Wally Gillespie. Each was convicted in the 1980's for the same murder. Bobby Mailman spent 18 years in prison and Wally Gillespie spent 21 years imprisoned and yet the were both innocent of the crime. On January 14th, the Chief Justice of New Brunswick on the first day of a retrial acquitted the two men when the Crown said it had no evidence against them. Mailman though is now 76 and dying of cancer, while Gillespie is 80 and living in poverty. Meanwhile the the Justice Minister of New Brunswick has said nothing, even this week, of the wrongful conviction of both men, or about any compensation for the many years they were imprisoned while innocent.   We spoke on January 14th with Ron Dalton, president of Innocence Canada, which through its efforts was able to convince the federal justice minister to hold a second trial for Mailman and Gillespie (Ron Dalton himself was innocent of the murder of his wife, although he was convicted in her death). So now what for two men who spent a combined more than 40 years in prison innocent of the crime for which they'd been convicted? What responsibility does Canada have to compensate these two older men for the theft of many years of their lives?

The same applies to all social media. A legal challenge has caused the legislation to be redrafted.  Our guest has spoken with legislators in two dozen other U.S. states interested in similar legislation and not unlike the 'Protecting Young Persons from Exposure to Pornography Act' legislation under consideration in Canada which would require a user to verify his/her age before being able to access pornography websites. We speak with a state legislator prominent in creating the Utah law.   Guest: Jordan Teuscher. Utah State Representative   In October of 2023, the federal government removed the carbon tax from home heating oil for three years, a measure most beneficial to Atlantic Canadians. Justin Trudeau though has refused to provide a similar carbon tax carveout for Canadians heating their homes with natural gas or propane, used by the majority of residents in the prairie provinces. This week Saskatchewan's minister responsible for provincial energy utility announced the province will not remit the carbon levy on home heating fuels to Ottawa, understanding this may lead to fines and potentially prison time for executives of SaskEnergy.  We speak with the premier of Saskatchewan.

The federal NDP and Liberal Party agreed to forming/funding of a national pharmacare program. For millions of Canadians the issue is far more basic. These Canadians often cannot obtain a prescription (or diagnosis) of their serious, even life-threatening illness.   At present more than 6 million people in Canada are without a family (primary care) doctor. Some patients are dying. That number will soon reach 10 million, or 25% of the current national population. Family doctors under huge pressure are moving to other medical disciplines or retiring.

Today’s podcast: Federal Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault is attempting to walk back his statement "there will be no more envelopes from the federal government to enlarge thed road network" to a Montreal conference earlier in the week. Also stated the federal government wants to get Canadians out of our cars and trucks and living in high density urban areas. Premiers Ford and Smith immediately challenged Gilbeault. - Also the Liberals rebranded the 'Climate Action Incentive Rebate' as the 'Canada carbon rebate.'

Bruce Shisheesh is the former Chief of Attawapiskat (northern Ontario First Nation). In early 2016, Attawapiskat made international headlines over the youth suicides and attempted suicides the community was attempting to deal with and without even fundamental resources required. Bruce Shisheesh was the Chief of Attawapiskat at the time. Chief Shisheesh traveled to Ottawa to meet with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who followed the meeting with a letter directly promising a visit to the First Nation community, which had existed without clean drinking water for decades, and Trudeau ended his letter with the words "Indeed, I look forward to visiting Attawapiskat in the near future." 8 years later the struggles in Attawapiskat continue and Mr. Trudeau has not been seen in the community, something Chief Shisheesh reminded me of on 'X' earlier in the week. We have the letter Justin Trudeau sent to Chief Shisheesh in 2016.  Guest: Bruce Shisheesh, former Chief of Attawapiskat First Nation.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I posted two random thoughts to 'X' Thursday which received far more response than expected both on 'X' and by email.  1: Lunacy! @s_guilbeault declaration fed go will provide no funds for new roads/highways. Do Lib MPs not realize they're on the road/highway to unemployment? In the interest of self-preservation cross the floor, facilitate the inevitable a CPC majority government and go now! If they'll have you  after strong response the first post was followed by: 2:  You have to admit 20 to 30 Lib MP's switching sides and moving @PierrePoilievre into the PMO corner office 'before' the fed elexn would shake up Ottawa like it has never been shaken up before. Sure, fanciful thinking, but you have to step outside the box at least once. Even more 'X' response, as well as email. Guest: Roy Green. We ask listeners to respond to the Thursday 'X' speculation.

Two weeks ago the Federal Court determined the Trudeau government's invoking of the Emergencies Act violated Canadians' protections under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. - Then questions were asked about the so-called COUTTS 4 who have remained held in pre-trial custody and without bail since February 13/14, 2022, after being arrested and charged at the Coutts, Alberta - U.S. border crossing, as truckers and farmers blocked the border while protesting federal Covid-19 mandates.  The four men face charges of conspiracy to commit murder (police officers), possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose and mischief over $5,000.  Lawyers have questioned whether the men's constitutional rights to engage in a fulsome defence of the charges against them have been violated. They had been scheduled to stand trial last June.  This week, an Ontario Superior Court overturned and earlier court acquittal on a mischief charge against Allen Remley, a Freedom Convoy protester in Ottawa. Mr. Remley had been accused by police of operating a "mobile gas station," a children's wagon filled with jerry cans. He had also parked his truck illegally. There is a publication ban in place on goings-on in court concerning the Coutts 4. Second guest this half hour will address this issue. First guest: Betty Carbert, mother of one of the Coutts 4, Chris Carbert. A mother's experience as her son remains imprisoned for almost 2 years without bail.  Second Guest: Doug King, criminal law professor at Mount Royal University in Calgary. We talk about being just days away from two years of pre-trial custody without bail for the Coutts 4, the constitutional right to a timely trial, absence of bail and what may lie ahead for these four men.

We spoke two weeks ago about New Brunswick convicted murderers Bobby Mailman and Wally Gillespie. Each was convicted in the 1980's for the same murder. Bobby Mailman spent 18 years in prison and Wally Gillespie spent 21 years imprisoned and yet the were both innocent of the crime. Two weeks ago the Chief Justice of New Brunswick on the first day of a retrial acquitted the two men when the Crown said it had no evidence against them. Mailman though is now 76 and dying of cancer, while Gillespie is 80 and living in poverty. Meanwhile the the Justice Minister of New Brunswick has said nothing, even this week, of the wrongful conviction of both men, or about any compensation for the many years they were imprisoned while innocent.   We spoke two weeks ago with Ron Dalton, president of Innocence Canada, which through its efforts was able to convince the federal justice minister to hold a second trial for Mailman and Gillespie (Ron Dalton himself was innocent of the murder of his wife, although he was convicted in her death). So now what for two men who spent a combined more than 40 years in prison innocent of the crime for which they'd been convicted? What responsibility does Canada have to compensate these two older men for the theft of many years of their lives?

On Tuesday 28 year old Bezhani Sarvar is alleged to have entered Edmonton city call carrying a long gun and incendiary devices described as long guns. Sarvar, according to Edmonton police statement "once inside City Hall he lit several handheld incendiary devices, believed to be Molotov cocktails, that caused one small fire outside an elevator. He then fired several shots from a long gun into the ceiling, walls and windows." There is reported to be a video, writes Joe Warmington of the Toronto Sun, in a column which also appeared in the Edmonton Sun, in which Sarvar is believed to be heard citing "this genocide that's going on in Gaza and throughout the world." The voice on the video, includes "we will rise up against you guys, and we'll put you on trial." Rambles on about climate change, taxes and more. Joe Warmington wonders why this assault at Edmonton City Hall has received so little attention nationally. Joe's column is headlined: "This was a jihad-like terror attack in Canada that no one seems to know about."

National focus this week on a crime incident in Peterborough, Ontario. At a convenience store a 22 year old clerk was helping a customer when a male with a baseball bat entered the store, allegedly demanding cash and striking the clerk with the bat. A fight ensued and the clerk grabbed the baseball bat, chased the would-be robber outside the store and allegedly proceeded to hit the man several times with the bat. The robber was taken to hospital for treatment while the clerk was treated by EMS at the site. - Police then laid an aggravated assault criminal charge against the 22 year old store clerk. Response was immediate with hundreds of Peterborough residents and others challenging the police decision saying the clerk had acted in self defence, prompting the Peterborough chief of police to take to 'X' and defend his officers and the laying of the charge. Again, the question is what is permitted as far as self defence is concerned in Canada with inconsistent court rulings having occurred. Guest: Scott Newark.

Rents across Canada have achieved unaffordable status for many. Perhaps none more so than Toronto sisters Yumna and Khadeja Farooq. Their 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment where they have lived for 3 years and for which they most recently have been paying $2,500 monthly rent was suddenly raised by $7,000 to $9,500 per month, to begin November 1, 2023. The sisters sought legal advice and will join us to share what they have found out. (Their building was constructed after 2018 making it exempt from rent control.)

Today’s podcast: The province of Alberta is in conflict with the federal Liberal government of Justin Trudeau, with Premier Danielle Smith and her UCP government passing the Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act on December 8, 2022. - Smith has since challenged Ottawa on its overreach into provincial consitutionally enshrined jurisdiction over energy development, with the Supreme Court of Canada, by strong majority supporting Alberta's position energy development is provincial government domain. Smith has, like Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe, declared Ottawa is endangering national unity with its demands for elimination of fossil fuels to produce so-called 'clean' energy by 2030. Like Scott Moe, Danielle Smith was in Dubai for COP 28 and is not at all pleased with the positions adopted in Dubai by federal environment minister Stephen Guilbeault. Will the conflict between Alberta continue in 2024 and what might it look like and how is, in the premier's view, the Trudeau government stepping on provincial jurisdiction? Note: we also ask the premier for her reaction to 15-year-old being arrested near Ottawa Friday and facing like terrorism charges in court tomorrow. A 16-year-old was arrested by the RCMP in Calgary on similar grounds by RCMP on Wednesday. Youth radicalization concerns? Guest: Danielle Smith. Premier. Alberta 15-year-old in Kanata, Ontario arrested by RCMP facing terrorism charges. 16-year-old in Calgary on Wednesday - Antisemitism increase and calls for Genocide against Jews publicly in Canada, including post-secondary institutions. - Trudeau government voting for UN resolution calling for humanitarian ceasefire without a mention of Hamas.

Contributed to the story. Global News Ottawa Bureau Chief and host of the network's flagship national political affairs program The West Block. Measuring the mood of Canadians on a myriad of issues in 2023 was IPSOS Public Affairs polling for Global News. We review the major opinion trends and ones which we should not be unaware of. As well, a look ahead into 2024 as far as what it is Canadians want, expect and/or refuse to accept is concerned. Guest: Darrell Bricker. CEO IPSOS Public Affairs. Author: NEXT. On a personal level 2023 was the year I was diagnosed with stage 4, metastatic prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is an increasing concern for men who all too frequently ignore symptoms, as I did. Earlier this year we spoke with Todd Seals who in 2007, at the age of 42, was given just months to live following a metastatic stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis. 16 years later Todd Seals is still very much alive and living well, although he continues to battle his cancer. - New, excellent, but hugely expensive medications are available today, but weren't when Todd was first diagnosed. His story has been reported on by major media and health organizations. Todd rejoins us today with a message for all men, their significant others and families. HIs message is personal, direct and filled with humour. Do not let 2023 pass without acknowledging symptoms and make sure 2024 is the year of treatment and maximizing life. Guest: Todd Seals. Stage 4, metastatic cancer survivor.

One of the most watched, disturbing and talked about realities of 2023 was the spiraling cost of food. We heard about consumer experiences and concerns regularly. This with 6.8 million Canadians, including 1.8 million children in Canada (U of T) experiencing food insecurity and food banks nationally stretched beyond their capacity to make up for the food shortfall. - There were questions about grocers engaging in profiteering at the expense of consumers and grocery chain CEO's were summoned to appear before parliament more than once. Food inflation outpaced general inflation for months on end. How do we assess 2023 and what should we expect for 2024?

Today’s podcast: A strained relationship between the province of Saskatchewan and the federal government continued to become increasingly challenged in 2023, resulting in the province passing the Saskatchewan First Act, designed to protect the province from constitutional overreach by the federal government. Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe told us repeatedly the Trudeau government was engaged in attacks on the province over Ottawa's energy policy which was endangering national unity. - Has the situation eased at all, or should we expect ever more acrimony in 2024? Guest: Scott Moe. Premier. Saskatchewan. Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem yesterday said inflation may be getting close to the bank's target of 2% by the end of next year, and while not making a commitment did say as well the BOC is increasingly confident interest rates will not have to be moved higher in order to get prices back under control. The Canadian economy shuddered in 2023 with the Bank of Canada repeatedly raising interest rates and inflation climbing so significantly a many Canadians told pollsters they are "tapped out" and 40% lose sleep each night worrying about their personal financial reality, Canadian homeowners in large numbers have concerns they will not be able to afford their homes as mortgage rates climb. Canadians are living with $2.4 trillion debt according to Equifax as 2023 comes to a close. Are we headed into a 2024 recession? Are we experiencing a recession now (even if its not technical)? Is the BOC's Governor's prognosis real or pie in the proverbial sky? Guest: Professor Eric Kam. Macroecnomist. Toronto Metropolitan University. As Israel, in response to the October 7 Hamas murder, rape and kidnapping assault inside its borders continues its war on Hamas and faces an increasingly hostile international response with calls supporting Genocide of Jews and annihiliation of Israel, Canada voted this week in support of a U.N. resolution calling for a humanitarian ceasefire. A motion which did not mention Hamas, a designated by Canada terrorist organization by name. Nevertheless, does Israel have concern it is, by the nature of its military assault on Gaza in pursuit of Hamas' leaders, becoming increasingly isolated internationally and compromising positive engagement with governments in the region developed over decades? Israel's Ambassador to Canada declared the Trudeau government's support of the U.N. motion to be "naive." Guest: Iddo Moed. Israel's Ambassador to Canada.

Nevertheless, there remain hundreds of thousands of delayed surgical procedures, as well as treatment for illnesses including cancers and cardiac concerns with patients on lengthy wait lists. What were the greatest challenges, as well as healthcare achievements of 2023 and what is absolutely most necessary to markedly improve healthcare delivery in 2024?
