Today's Podcast:

Pierre Poilievre's "axe the (carbon) tax" national campaign continues and despite BC premier David Eby not joining the majority of Canada's premiers supporting either ending the carbon tax, or at least delaying the implementation of its April 1 scheduled increase and describing Poilievre's letter to the bc premier requesting his support for the "axe the tax" initiative as something from the Pierre Poilievre "baloney factory" the CPC leader, who national polling shows continues with his national campaign. We speak with Poilievre about carbon tax, national economy (bank economists expressing deep concern), crime and justice, immigration, Melanie Joly's photo with Mahmoud Abbas and more.

As well, on Monday a federal NDP motion in parliament will have MPs voting on the NDP's call for Canada's support for the establishment of a State of Palestine, as well as an end to arm shipments from Canada to Israel.

Guest: Pierre Poilievre. Leader: Conservative Party of Canada

For years it is said that in the aviation industry the cliche was "if it's not Boeing, I'm not going." Now it's rumoured the cliche has become "if it's Boeing, I'm not going." Boeing's terrible record of producing safe airliners over the last years again earlier this year, as well as last week was highlighted through mishaps involving 737 Max aircraft including the door plug blowing out of an Alaska Airlines 737 Max in January, a 787 Max Dreamliner which plunged without warning injuring up to 50 passengers last week, also last week a tire falling off a Boeing 757 seconds after takeoff from San Francisco airport and the nose wheel of another Boeing 757 airliner broke away while it was taxiing toward takeoff at Atlanta International Airport in January. Boeing is under FAA investigation.

Last Sunday I flew from Orlando to Toronto on a 737 Max 8 and it was an uneasy experience. What is going on with Boeing?

Guest: Captain Raymond Hall. Former head of the Air Canada Pilots Association and multi-decade Air Canada captain who flew Boeing airliners on major international routes. 

G&M headline: More economists are getting deeply worried about Canada's future - and investors are taking notice. Earlier this month Scotiabank's head of capital markets economics Derek Holt wrote "I'm deeply worried about public policy in my country." Over last weekend BMO chief economist Doug Porter and National Bank strategist Stefane Marion joined the grim chorus. And the OECD projects Canada's economic performance this decade and through to 2060 will be dead last among advanced nations. Meanwhile, we have what the world needs and is willing to purchase, namely natural resources such as oil and natural gas.

Guest: Professor Eric Kam. Macroeconomics, Toronto Metropolitan University. 

When it comes to ethics and ethical behaviour and the stunningly minor penalties for ethics violations for ignoring of ethics from the PM down to the occupants of the very back benches in parliament what is the story?  A former Liberal MP shares with us that not only was there (for her) the demand of unethical behaviour, but as well there were in 2007 significant penalties if that demand was not adhered to by the MP. - As well, our guest's husband was present when coaching on violating ethics took place. 

Guest: Michelle Simson, former Liberal MP

Get caught up on the year so far with this weekend's encore presentation of the Roy Green Show!

Today's best of the best:

NDP MP Charlie Angus private members Bill 372 (which Angus compares to legislative efforts of the 1990's to punish the tobacco industry for wilfull and incorrect advertising), would result in positive advertising/messaging by oil and natural gas producers and their supporters could result in massive fines and possible imprisonment. Note: Angus did not reply to an invitation to appear on this program)

Also:

Joe Biden recently placed a temporary halt on issuing U.S. liquid natural gas export licences. Are many (most) First Nations in Canada supportive of encouraging Canada to engage in export of LNG?  

Guest: Chris Sankey. Former elected councillor at Lax Kw'alaams first nation, businessman, op ed writer and senior Fellow at the MacDonald-Laurier Institute. 

Originally Aired Feb 10, 2024.

Is Canada veering (stumbling) toward a late 2024 federal election of our own? Are federal political parties fairly focusing on the issues driving Canadian views and concerns, or are the parties in it for their own success? We ask a former premier and federal minister for his thoughts. As well, why are more younger Canadians than younger Ameicans and younger Canadian women supporting Donald Trump?

Guest: Ujjal Dosanjh. Fmr British Columbia premier and former Liberal federal Minister of Health. 

Originally Aired Jan 28, 2024.

This was a heaveily debated issue 30+ years ago and it's back. NDP sponsored children's rights legislation, Bill 273, would ban spanking of children at home or using force on children at school by supervisory adults (teachers) received support for a second reading in parliament by a 208-115 vote. Section 43 of the Criminal Code (introduced in 1892) and most recently amended by the Supreme Court of Canada in 2004, permits parents to spank judiciously, not in anger and with age consideration of children. The Canadian Teachers Federation opposes the NDP bill/ What about parents? And how does a prominent criminal lawyer view the proposed legislation? (It has been argued parents forcing a child into a children's car seat might run afoul of no corporal punishment legislation.)

Guest: Ari Goldkind. Criminal lawyer and media commentator.

Originally Aired Feb 18, 2024.
