Today’s podcast:

Trudeau remains silent on his plans concerning the Liberal Party of Canada caucus revolt against his leadership.

 Guest: Ujjal Dosanjh. Former BC premier and federal Liberal Party health minister


More on Trudeau's silence, with a special Liberal Party national caucus meeting scheduled for Wednesday. MPs are set to confront Trudeau on his unwillingness (so far) to resign as PM.

Guest: Brian Lilley, Post Media columnist. 


Since the beginning of the RGS our go-to guest on issues concerning the Canadian justice system, Correctional Service Canada and the Parole Board of Canada has been a former Alberta crown attorney, executive director of the Canadian Police Association, senior policy advisor to a federal Minister of Public Safety, Scott Newark. In the 90's this included so-called "Club Fed" prisons like Ferndale in B.C. which included a 9 hole golf course inmates were allowed to use.

In recent years the Canadian justice system has come under significant criticism for the easy (instant) parole granted dangerous individuals, for the moving of convicted serial rapist, kidnapper and murderer Paul Bernardo from a maximum to medium-security prison.

We took our program inside two federal prisons, Joyceville and Warkarth, for live shows with the inmates committees.

At Joyceville, we asked the inmates committee what would happen to Clifford Olson, British Columbia serial child/youth murderer if he were transferred into the general population of the prison, as Olson had been requesting. The chairman of the committee said bluntly "he would be murdered."

On September 11, 2002, the first anniversary of 9/11, we took the show to New York City for a Corus radio network broadcast where we rented studio space at WOR radio. Americans repeatedly told us how grateful they were Canadians had come to share the day with them. RGS producer Rick Zamperin and I walked the perimeter of St. Paul's Chapel, across the street from where the World Trade Center buildings had stood. St. Paul's was undamaged in the terror attack and thousands of people had placed memorial messages on the iron fence surrounding the chapel. One in particular remains seared in memory. A piece of cardboard on which, in a child's writing, were the words "I love you Daddy." - Rick decided to engage on his adventures in NYC where there was concern of a possible repeat terror attack. He attended a NY Yankees game and visited the observation deck of the Empire State Building.

Our first guest on the national broadcast was former prime minister Brian Mulroney.

Guest: Rick Zamperin, Former Producer of the Roy Green Show and former host of Good Morning Hamilton on 900 CHML
