The Roy Green Show

Today's podcast:

Is Canada again staring down the barrel of a Bloc Quebecois official opposition in parliament? Seems that way. Might such a result in the national election cause the sovereignist sentiment to rise again in QC?

Guest: Nino Colavecchio. Montreal post-secondary instructor, marketer, radio talk show host, Parti Quebecois member and former candidate. 

The federal Liberal Party will have a new leader on March 9, but do Canadians care at all? Does that new Federal Liberal leader, whoever it may turn out to be, have a snowball's chance of winning the upcoming federal election?  

Guest: Darrell Bricker. CEO of IPSOS Public Affairs

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has said he plans to use economic force to make Canada the '51st state' claiming both the United States and Canada would be better off with that reality.

Meanwhile, Kevin O'Leary has spoken publicly about combining the economies of Canada and the U.S. and negotiating with Donald Trump to do so.

Guest: Kevin O'Leary. Chairman, O'Leary Ventures and Beanstox, 5 Emmy Awards as Mr. Wonderful on Shark Tank

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.

Today’s podcast:

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has been described as the now de facto PM of Canada. She is among Western premiers demanding a better equalization deal from Ottawa as the equalization fund hits $26.2 billion. Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia will receive not one cent of those monies to which the three provinces have contributed significantly. 

Justin Trudeau will also face a national caucus on Wednesday as more Liberal MPs are demanding he resign as prime minister.

Alberta's and Canada's relationship with incoming U.S. president Donald Trump and the premier accepting an invitation to attend the inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20.

Guest: Danielle Smith. Premier of Alberta

As 2025 begins, news stories appear to ricochet across the nation and certainly Ontario, the most populous province which is also the seat of the national government. How do two prominent members of the Ontario media view their reporting responsibilities and are so-called 'legacy' media facing an ever-increasing credibility deficit?

Guests: 

National Liberal Party of Canada caucus chair Brenda Shanahan has announced that next Wednesday the Liberal caucus will meet to address mounting party calls for PM Justin Trudeau to resign and now. What is likely to take place? What is it like inside a governing party when there is an internal demand for a change of prime minister?

Guest: Dan McTeague. 18 years a Liberal Party MP
