Today’s podcast:

Canada's courts fail to apply proper sentencing to drunk drivers who kill. Criminal code permits life in prison, but most sentences in the 3-4 year range.

Guest: Ari Goldkind. Criminal lawyer. Media commentator

Sheri Arsenault's son Bradley and two of his friends were killed in 2012 when a drunk driver's truck smashed into the car they were driving. Sheri Arsenault has been challenging successive federal governments to change criminal legislation to hold drunk drivers who kill to a higher level of personal responsibility and with more severe consequences than delivered by Canadian courts. Her work was set to bear fruit until the 2015 federal election shelved legislation which had been approved by then Canadian justice minister and attorney general Peter MacKay.

Guests: Sheri Arsenault, lost her son in 2012 to a drunk driver

The Temporary Foreign Workers Program, introduced by Pierre Trudeau in 1972 is chaotic and a failure under the Justin Trudeau government. - Also, private lawyers in Canada have put in place a website where an individual's support of pro-terrorist organizations (such as publicly supporting Hamas) can be reported to CBSA as a likely immigration violation.

Guest: Richard Kurland. Vancouver immigration lawyer who has advised the federal and Quebec governments on immigration

Increasing danger concerning possible terror/ISIS supporter-like attacks in Western nations including Canada.

In Austria, where the CIA informed Austrian intelligence agencies of an ISIS-like plot with the intent to kill "tens of thousands" of Taylor Swift fans attending her concerts in Vienna, was the cause for the concerts this month to be canceled.

B.C. Provincial politics and British Columbians voting habits during federal elections are often a bit of a mystery to other Canadians. This week the sudden collapse of the BC United Party with leader Kevin Falcon standing beside BC Conservatives leader John Rustad and announcing BCU was suspending its provincial campaign just two months prior to the vote and throwing his support to the Conservatives in order to not split the right-of-centre vote. Why? Leaves MLA's for the official opposition BCU in limbo. So, what now on Canada's Pacific Coast? 

Should we expect a merger of the federal Liberal and New Democrat parties before the upcoming national election? We ask a former B.C. NDP premier who became federal Minister of Health in the Paul Martin Liberal government for his view of British Columbia unexpected development, as well as for his thoughts on an announcement of a federal left-wing party comprised of what are now the LPC and NDP. 

Guest: Ujjal Dosanh. Former British Columbia NDP premier and federal Liberal Minister of Health.

Are Canada's teachers unions almost invariably opposed to decisions taken by provincial governments on the right side of the political spectrum? Do conservative provincial governments engage in battles with teachers unions in an attempt to satisfy their base?

Old enmities between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher have been overcome and OASIS, the British Super Band is returning to touring in Ireland, Wales and England, with tours outside Europe being discussed. 

Other bands/rock acts to likely follow?

And which have successfully already done this, or failed in the attempt? Also, what makes certain rock acts impervious to time? Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Burton Cummings come to mind.

Guest: Eric Alper, multi-JUNO Award-winning music publicist.
