The Roy Green Show

Today’s podcast:

Justice Paul Rouleau ruled the Trudeau government met the “very high threshold” for invoking the Emergencies Act for the first time in Canadian history during the so-called Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa last year.

GUEST: David Tarrant, Vice President, National Strategic Communications, Enterprise Canada, former communications strategist in the Office of Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

The International Olympic Committee is reportedly thinking about creating a rotating list of permanent host cities for the Winter Games. One of the cities the IOC is apparently eyeballing is Vancouver.

GUEST: Robert Livingstone, Senior producer & award-winning journalist, GamesBids.com. Member of the Olympic Journalists Association and the International Society of Olympic Historians.

It appears that after agreeing to a new health care funding formula with the provinces, the Trudeau Liberals have enjoyed a surge in public opinion polls. A new Nanos Research poll shows the Liberals and federal Conservatives are now in a dead heat.

GUEST: Nik Nanos, Founder and Chief Data Scientist, Nanos Research.

The federal government has announced plans to develop Canada’s long-awaited Black justice strategy. But the question is, will it weed out systemic racism in our criminal justice system.

GUEST: Zilla Jones, Criminal defence and human rights lawyer, Jones Law Office in Winnipeg.
