Today’s podcast: London Police Service will engage in a news conference tomorrow concerning sexual assault charges against 5 members of the 2018 Team Canada juniors. How is this case likely to move forward from now through the court phase? Does 5 defendants make the cases more difficult? Will the extended time between the alleged assaults and the actions of Hockey Canada and the LPS complicate things for either the prosecution or defence, or both? Guest: Jacob "Jake" Jesin. Law firm of Rotenberg, Shidlowski and Jesin (Toronto). Much experience in sexual assault cases.   Alberta premier Danielle Smith's transgender youth policies for the province will engage parents in the decision-making of their children under the age of 18 and roll back medical treatments including surgeries for transgender youth. The policy has met both strong opposition, as well as support. Guest: Tiffany Gillis, trans woman and parent of two school-age children. As well, vice president of a junior oil and gas company based in Calgary. Premier Smith consulted with Tiffany Gillis on the policies for transgender youth.   Parliament's ethics committee met this past week to address questions surrounding PM Trudeau's $9300 per night freebie from a "friend" Jamaica vacation over Christmas and New year.  Interim ethics commissioner Konrad von Finkenstein refuses to investigate the PM, arguing it was indeed a gift from a friend, albeit a rich one. We speak with two former Liberal MPs who were punished by their party for standing firm with their ethics and while in office, as well as hear their views on Trudeau's Jamaican vacation. It certainly wasn't free for Canadian taxpayers. Guests: Michelle Simson, fmr LPC MP        Dan McTeague, fmr LPC MP   Duff Conacher, co-founder of Democracy Watch is very critical of the appointment of von Finkenstein and of his performance as Conflict of Interest (ethics) Commissioner by Trudeau and has much to say about this issue.

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." AND Joe added to his columns about goings-on in Alberta on Thursday with one headlined "Tucker Carlson drops bombs Alberta won't soon forget" as the former FOX News show host, appearing at an event with premier Danielle Smith, as well as other conservative figures in Canada and making remarks challenged as homophobic and far-right American. The premier is as well as targeted by federal Liberals and federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh for appearing with Tucker Carlson. Guest: Joe Warmington. Featured columnist Toronto Sun/Edmonton Sun.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The old days of air travel were quite risky…compared to today, the chances of your flight going down were far greater …every airport had kiosks and coin-operating vending machines where you could buy life insurance before you headed to the gate—you know, just in case you thought you weren’t going to make it to your final destination… 1977 was one of the worst years for accidents in aviation history…in addition to several violent hijackings every month—sometimes with fatal results—There were also passenger plane crashes with great loss of life…including the worst aviation disaster of all time when two 747s planes collided on a runway in the Canary Islands, killing 583 people. Frank Sinatra’s mother, the Prime Minister of Yugoslavia, and all but one member of the University of Evansville basketball team died in crashes… But then there were the events of October 20, 1977, when a rickety chartered plane went down in a swamp in Mississippi…on board were members of Lynyrd Skynyrd…six of the 24 passengers died, including singer Ronnie Van Zandt, guitarist Steve Gaines, backup singer Cassie Gaines, and assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick…both pilots also died… What happened?

Today's Podcast: The shooting death of British Columbia RCMP Constable Rick O'Brien, as well as the numbers of police officers killed on duty in Canada brings to the fore the issue of what must be done to reduce the risk to police officers. Today is Police and Peace Officers National Memorial Day with ceremonies and police attendance from across Canada in Ottawa. Guest: Mark Baxter. President: Police Association of Ontario.      The issue of pronoun selection, name change and gender identity among Canada's youth and mandatory reporting by teachers/schools to parents of children under 16 years of age is increasingly polarizing. This week saw marches across Canada supporting these provincial policies and counter-protests.  The first province to introduce a policy requiring parents be informed if their children under 16 are choosing different pronouns/names was New Brunswick with Policy 713. Guest: Blaine Higgs. Premier. New Brunswick   In April of 2014, Matthew de Grood attended an end-of-school-term party in a home in Calgary's North-West. de Grood would, in the worst mass killing in Calgary's history, stab to death Kaitlin Perras, 23, Zackariah Rathwell, 21, Jordan Segura, 22, Josh Hunter, 23, and Lawrence Hong, 27. In 2016 de Grood was found NCR (Not Criminally Responsible) and found to be living with undiagnosed schizophrenia. He has since been living at the Edmonton Alberta Hospital and receiving psychiatric treatment, while appearing annually before the Alberta review board to have his case and detention assessed. In September of last year the board determined de Grood posed a "significant risk" to the public and would not be granted an absolute discharge. de Grood is now seeking to have the Supreme Court of Canada hear and consider his case and grant more freedoms. We speak with the father of one de Grood's victims. Guest: Gregg Perras, father of Katie Perras When men ignore health warnings and in this case symptoms of prostate health issues it can and does lead to metastasized prostate cancer. Metastasized prostate cancer is immediately classified as Stage 4. My reality, diagnosed in February of this year. Remarkable and effective very new and significantly life-extending medical treatments available, with more in the pipeline, however, they are not without considerable side effects which some men tolerate better than others. Todd Seals (toddseals63.blogspot.com) at age 42 was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer and given months to live and well before the newest drugs became available. 17 years later Todd is very much alive and while the cancer remains a threat, Todd Seals has become a much talked and written about survivor, motivator, as well as a contributor to U.S. World and News Report. His addresses his life since diagnosis 17 years ago and metastatic prostate cancer.  Guest: Todd Seals and Roy Green speak about the journey and experience of living with Stage 4 metastasized prostate cancer, Seals with 17 years experience while I am just beginning that journey as modern medicine is hopefully increasingly turning this killer into a treatable chronic illness.  --------------------------------------------- Host/Content Producer – Roy Green Technical/Podcast Producer – Tom Craig Podcast Co-Producer – Matt Taylor If you enjoyed the podcast, tell a friend!

Three people, including a 16 and 12-year-old have been charged in a series of robberies of sports trading cards in the GTA, with a gun involved. When police arrested two of the suspects, they found a loaded firearm. Charges have been laid against the youths and the adult who was in violation of bail conditions.  The question we're asking though is one we first posed approx. 30 years ago to massive response. A 12-year-old at the time was involved in convenience store robberies and flashed a handgun in the process. The question was and is again: should a police officer encounter a 12-year-old child brandishing a very real, or real-looking handgun and that child points the real or real-looking gun at the police officer, what must the police officer do in order to protect anyone in the immediate vicinity and the officer's own life? Open fire, or hold fire because of the apparent age of the offender?

Refugees to Canada living on the sidewalks of Toronto. Immigration number to increase to 500,000 annually by 2025 according to the federal government. Meanwhile,15-20% of immigrants to Canada leave within the first 10 years of being here.  At this time an anti-immigrant, anti-migrant backlash is being experienced in Europe.

Justin Trudeau just spent days attending the NATO conference making sweeping statements about Canada's commitment to the Alliance. These have been met with eye-rolling and criticism of Canada's meagre commitment to defence-spending. Editorial comment by the Wall Street Journal: 'Canada is a Military Free Rider in NATO.' - John Ivison, NP, "Our NATO allies have little patience left for Trudeau's freeloading."   Why the criticism? Canada's military stands at just below 63k members with antiquated and out of commission weapons and weapons systems. Canada's soldiers on a training mission for the Ukraine military in Poland were told by DND to eat at restaurants. They have though not been reimbursed for their meal expenses. - An additional 700 members of the CAF in Latvia have been buying their own ballistic helmets, rain gear, as well as vests and belts to carry water and ammunition. The Canadian battle group commander describes the situation as "concerning, verging on embarrassing."   Guest: Vice-Admiral Mark Norman (ret'd).

Today’s podcast:  The cost issue surrounding the continued pursuit of Paul Bernardo's presence and movement within the Canadian prison system - Meanwhile the Parole Board of Canada refused to disclose whether it had the composite transcript of the Bernardo videotapes based on Bernardo's privacy rights (upheld by a court decision as the Government of Canada fought to maintain Bernardo's privacy rights) until 5pm the day before the hearing. This proved to be "hell" for the French and Mahaffy families, according to the families lawyer Tim Danson. - Meanwhile the federal government wanted the families to pay over $19,000 in court costs for the government lawyers. Justice Glennys McVeigh sided with the government and ordered the families to pay $4,000 in costs. - The government would walk back the cost order and the battle continues....because Paul Bernardo "has his privacy rights."   Meanwhile a private citizen started a Go Fund Me page to raise money for the French and Mahaffy families to pay the legal bills from Tim Danson incurred over the years he has represented them. Danson spoke with me about this and assured his work for the families always has been and always will be pro bono.

Today’s podcast: Discussion of issues such as the Johnston Report, Carbon tax, Election issues and more. Guest: Pierre Poilievre. Conservative Party of Canada leader. The Clean Fuel Regulation of the Trudeau government analyzed by the Parliamentary Budget Officer. The PBO calls the CFR "broadly regressive" and says its price increase for gasoline and diesel will by the time it's fully implemented in 2030 be more hurtful to lower-income households in Canada. Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault calls the PBO report "unbalanced" and Gerald Butts, Justin Trudeau's former advisor ripped the report as "incompetence on climate change." - As well, Guilbeault accused the PBO of an 'unbalanced modelling approach" in the "analysis of the price of pollution." PBO report shows most Canadians will be worse off in the federal government's imposed carbon tax. - Plus, what is the expected cost of servicing the $1 trillion-plus national debt? Guest: Yves Giroux. Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO). Says "I can understand that people are not happy when we underline that government action will have repercussions, and in this case, costs, but I stand by the analysis we provided." In 2013, England's chief medical officer warned of a health "armageddon" as bacteria learn to overcome antibiotics and new drugs aren't available to counteract the situation. She said "antibiotics are losing their effectiveness at a ratte that is both alarming and irreversible, similar to global warming. TGhe apocalyptic scenario is that when I need a new hip in 20 years I'll die from a routine infection because we've run out of antibiotics." Ten years later the World Health Organization warns of AMR as a top 10 global public health threat. AMR is "antimicrobial resistance." It is the same issue Professor Sally Edwards warned about in England in 2013. Projections are that by 2050 AMR will cost Canada's healthcare system $7.6 billion. The British medical journal The Lancet showed that in 2019, 1.27 million deaths were already caused by AMR. Between 2010 and 2019, 18 novel antibiotics were introduced across 14 develope nations. Only 2 of these new antibiotics are available in Canada. Guest: Jason Tetro. Microbiologist. Author of: The Germ Guy & The Germ Code. Host of the Super Awesome Science Show on the Curiouscast network. We'll call him Peter in B.C. A former business owner who sent me a disturbing email about an issue not talked about on radio "when China interference and Alberta election dominates". He wrote about how housing unaffordability and household debt is talked about a great deal, as are maxxed out credit cards, etc. Then Peter wrote "I hear nobody talking about all the Canadians who are ALREADY living in their vehicles. I am one of those Canadians living in vehicle. It's brutal! It's tiring. And it's not cheap. In just 4 weeks of living in my vehicle I'm exhausted from lack of sleep, I'm sore, I'm hungry, I'm job hunting feverishly and I'm watching my credit score plummet as I can't keep up with minimum payments. My little 2012 Ford Escape doedsn't have a kitchen. I hope that despite your show's full roster, there's a way to shine a little light on the plight of us who have already fallen through the cracks."

We'll call him Peter in B.C. A former business owner who sent me a disturbing email about an issue not talked about on radio "when China interference and Alberta election dominates". He wrote about how housing unaffordability and household debt is talked about a great deal, as are maxxed out credit cards, etc. Then Peter wrote "I hear nobody talking about all the Canadians who are ALREADY living in their vehicles. I am one of those Canadians living in vehicle. It's brutal! It's tiring. And it's not cheap. In just 4 weeks of living in my vehicle I'm exhausted from lack of sleep, I'm sore, I'm hungry, I'm job hunting feverishly and I'm watching my credit score plummet as I can't keep up with minimum payments. My little 2012 Ford Escape doedsn't have a kitchen. I hope that despite your show's full roster, there's a way to shine a little light on the plight of us who have already fallen through the cracks." Guest: Peter in B.C. Shares his experience. Says he encouters many in the same predicament. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

That means a postal code that has more than three children for every single licensed space. David Macdonald, co-author of the study and senior economist at CCPA Learn more about your ad choices.
