Today's Podcast:

The city of Moncton is removing the annual menorah display during Hanukkah after 20 years and the Mayor's rationale, citing a 2015 Supreme Court of Canada decision separating church and state and disallowing councils from beginning meetings with prayer is being challenged nationally and described as cowardly and motivated by fear of antisemitic demonstrators. Meanwhile Christian symbols like angels will continue to be displayed at city hall. Moncton's Jewish population is challenging the decision by a now unavailable for further comment Mayor Dawn Arnold

Guest: Leigh Lampert. Moncton based lawyer and member of the Moncton synagogue board of directors. A member of the city's Jewish delegation who met with Mayor Arnold.

Lorrie Goldstein column in today's Toronto Sun: I'm done with having to explain myself to Jew haters. "Sorry Jew haters, but as a Canadian Jew I'm not going to be apologizing for my right to exist." 

Guest: Lorrie Goldstein. Editor emeritus Toronto Sun and member of the Canadian News Hall of Fame.

The warring escalates between the federal government and the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta, with Alberta premier Danielle Smith calling the Justin Trudeau government "lawless." We look back to previous battles between Ottawa and Alberta, as well as the current situation which affects us all.

Guest: Ted Morton. Former Alberta Minister of Finance, Minister of Sustainable Resource Development. - Also in 2001 a member of a group of 6 Albertans (including Stephen Harper) who wrote the so-called Firewall Letter calling on the Alberta government to use its constitutional powers to reduce the influence the federal government had on the province, including withdrawing from the Canada Pension Plan. (Familiar?) 

The current battle between Alberta and Ottawa. Premier Smith in Dubai for COP28. She has described the Justin Trudeau government as "lawless." Alberta and Saskatchewan lead the charge to put an end to the federal carbon tax. 

Guest: Nathan Neudorf. Alberta Minister of Development and Utilities. 

A double convicted 1st degree murderer George Lovie, whose parole hearing where he was to seek unrestricted parole has been deferred from December 8 to early 2024. The hearing has been deferred because the double convicted murderer demanded that and the Canadian justice system allows and supports such a demand at the expense of the victims family. In this case the family of Don Edwards, former Team Canada and Buffalo Sabres goaltender. Lovie murdered Don's parents in 1991.

Guest: Don and Tannis Edwards. An excruciating reality as they will again be required to prepare for a parole hearing for Lovie who has the right to read their Victims Impact Statements prior to the parole hearing (whenever he may agree to it).
