Today’s podcast:

Did Israel attack Iran Thursday in retaliation for Iran's missile and drone strike against Israel. Israel is not saying and Iran claims drones launched from within its borders were shot down, thereby setting aside a requirement for the shooting by the two principal regional opponents to continue. Perhaps. 

Guest: Israel's Ambassador to Canada, Iddo Moed.

In this week's federal budget the commitment by the Liberals and Justin Trudeau was made to build 4 million homes by 2031. Is that even remotely possible? 

Guest: Shane Wenzel. President/CEO of Shane Homes in Calgary. Shared with us last year that home buyers who had placed down payments on new homes were so financially stressed they were walking away from their under construction homes and willing to forfeit their deposits which Shane Wenzel was refunding his stressed buyers.

Frontline Canadian doctors are fed up with being forced by government bureaucrats/bureaucracy into turning more money over to government (witness capital gains change in 2024 fed budget). Doctors letter writing campaign begins, led by our guest.

Guest: Dr. David Edward-Ooi Poon. Family physician, Public Health and Preventative Medicine physician. Founder, Professional Corporation Advocates. Beginning letter-writing campaign by MDs. 

We talk Stanley Cup playoffs which begin tonight, leading to the opening game of the Stanley Cup final series on June 3. There is increased hope that a Canada-based NHL team will hoist the Stanley Cup. That has not happened since 1993, when the Montreal Canadiens, led by their Captain Guy Carbonneau won the final series against the Los Angeles Kings 4 games to 1, after having eliminated the New York Islanders, Buffalo Sabres and Quebec Nordiques, winning 16 games and losing only 3.  

Guest:  Guy Carbonneau. Captain. Montreal Canadiens, 1993.

Not quite the Tower of London, but the first time since 1913 a Canadian citizen was escorted by the parliamentary Sergeant-at-Arms, replete with sword, to the house of commons to be "admonished" by the parliamentary speaker and 'forced' to answer questions from MPs and after the RCMP had executed a search warrant at his property. This time it was the partner at GC Strategies Kristian Firth and over the ArriveCan app questions he refused to answer at the ethics committee earlier this year.           

Guest: Michael Barrett. CPC MP and shadow minister for ethics and accountable government. Was present for Kristian Firth's admonishment.

Allan Schoenborn, who killed all three of his children, Kaitlyn 10, Max 8 and Corden 5 years of age 16 years ago, was declared 'not criminally responsible' because of mental illness and has been held the last 14 years at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam, British Columbia. Schoenborn's first hearing before the'annual' review board in two years this week descended into chaos, including seeing his lawyer walking out of proceedings. Schoenborn has also changed his name and wants a publication ban on his new name placed into effect. Meanwhile, according Dave Texeira, family friend and representative for the children, Schoenborn remains violent, but with already granted 28 days unescorted passes into the community. What's next?

Guest: Dave Texeira. Family friend and representative for the interests of Kaityln, Max and Corden.
