The Roy Green Show

Next premier of Alberta???? Jason Kenney, the outgoing premier said on Corus radio in AB that Danielle Smith's Sovereignty Act would make Alberta a 'laughingstock.' How does the perceived front-runner to replace Kenney respond to his critique and critiques offered by others in federal and Alberta provincial politics? And we do remember the outrageous statements demands of and about Canada by successive premiers of Quebec. Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe told us weeks ago his province will do what it considers best for Saskatchewan and not blindly follow edicts from the Ottawa "caretaker" government.

Guest: Danielle Smith. Candidate for leadership of the Alberta UCP

German Chancellor Scholz in Canada to meet with Justin Trudeau. We're told Canadian LNG for Germany facing a gas/energy crisis will not be discussed. Instead, an agreement concerning future (perhaps 30 years from now) hydrogen exports from Canada will be signed. That would have been like Kim Campbell, in 1992, as PM signing a yet to be developed energy agreement for Canada to take effect now, in 2022.)  

Meanwhile, Germany has again fired up coal plants, will limit public buildings heating this winter to 19 degrees Celsius and is turning off some traffic lights in Berlin in order to save gas.) Other nations turning to coal and fossil fuels again. And what will happen to Canada's energy costs this and in coming winters?

One year ago Bruce Moncur, Afghanistan campaign CAF veteran and speaking for Afghan Vets of Canada joined us on air with former Chief of Defence Staff General Rick Hillier one year ago to lobby for Canada's highest military honour, the Canadian Victoria Cross, to be awared to Private Jess Larochelle who in 2006 in Afghanistan performed heroically to save his fellow unit members while Private Larochelle was himself gravely wounded, but kept on fighting. Liberals in parliament nevertheless voted against a motion in the house to award the Victoria Cross to Private Larochelle and the DND announced they will not bow to public pressure supporting Jess Larochelle.  

In WWI, 73 Canadians were awarded the Victoria Cross. 16 Canadians received the Victoria Cross in WWII. In 1993 the Canadian Victoria Cross was struck by Queen Elizabeth II. No Canadian has been awarded either VC since 1945. 

Guest: Bruce Moncur. Afghan Vets of Canada. Was himself badly wounded in a friendly fire incident when a fragment of U.S. jet shell fragment lodged in his skull.

From Ukraine to the Middle East and Taiwan, the world requires bipartisan American leadership that's gone out of fashion.
