Today’s podcast: Antisemitism growth/expansion in Canada. https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/kinsella-anti-israel-protesters-becoming-more-radical-openly-embracing-terror-groups Guest: Warren Kinsella. Was special assistant to Jean Chretien, now president/CEO of the Daisy Group, crisis management/communication @WarrenKinsella on Twitter/X. Opion columnist.   The Taylor Swift domination of pop music. New release Tortured Poets Department with more than a dozen unexpected tracks. Why Taylor Swift? Other acts who matched or came close to matching her appeal, current and/or past. And her legion of international 'Swifties' fans. Name origin and why do they wear the number 13? Also, we get to speak with an actual Swiftie. Taylor, the aptly named sister of our show’s technical producer, gives the fan’s perspective on the draw of Taylor Swift. Guests: Alan Cross. Host of the syndicated The Ongoing History of New Music and A Journal of Musical Things. New podcast: Uncharted crime and mayhem in the music industry. https://www.ajournalofmusicalthings.com/ And: Taylor, longtime Swiftie, and the sister of Roy Green Show Technical Producer, Tom.   Professor Sylvain Charlebois, @foodprofessor, posts to X/Twitter about online posters and calls to organize a "Steal from Loblaws Day" on May 12. Professor Charlebois reminds "this is not only ridiculous. It's criminal."  We will, on this program, describe this as an outageous attempt to organize a 'national day of looting.' Then: What do you say about the attempt to organize a "Steal from Loblaws Day" across Canada? Do you believe you have a responsibility to intercede if any theft occurs in your presence?

Not so this time as this past week's budget remains a topic of direct engagement and challenge. From doctors to Canada's business community, the federal budget is being hammered as a prime jewel of financial misfires. Guest: Professor Eric Kam. Macroeconomics.

Leger national poll of recent immigrants to Canada (past 10 years) reveals interesting views from these immigrants about federal Liberals immigration targets. 42% say immigration target numbers are too high. Slightly more than 1/3rd say numbers are about right, 7% said numbers are too low and 17% expressed no opinion. In your view are Canada's immigration numbers too high and impact too heavily on healthcare, housing and social programs, or would you and your family benefit from an increase in the annual influx of newcomers to Canada?

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).

Guest: Pierre Poilievre. Leader. Conservative Party of Canada.   Rampant and open drug use, weapons and violence have become commonplace in B.C. hospitals since drug decriminalization was enacted, thereby threatening the safety of both patients and front-line health workers says the British Columbia Nurses Union (BCNU).

While the world's current focus is on the Israel/Hamas war, Ukraine's war with Russia has entered its third year and news from Ukraine is that the country's military is running seriously low on war fighting equipment and munitions as the U.S. primarily is holding up a major arms shipment due to Republican/Democrat political infighting. NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg has floated a plan for a 100-billion Euro, 5-year weapons support plan for Ukraine prior to the U.S. national election in November. NATO is calling on all its members to live up to their 2% of GDP military spending commitment that Canada has already said we will not reach.  While Ukrainian drones are now striking deep inside Russia, on the battlefields its military is facing operating with war equipment and mismatched ammunition. Meanwhile, French president Macron has not ruled out sending French ground troops into Ukraine to engage Russia there. Guest: Ambassador Olexander Scherba, from Kyiv. Ambassador Sherba was Ukraine's chief diplomatic representative to Austria and a member of the Ukraine diplomatic delegation to Washington.

We speak with Toronto Police Association president Jon Reid about the letter sent by six members of Toronto City Council, two on the police board, challenging police action at pro-Palestinian protests and demonstrations, particularly on March 30 when several people were arrested after clashing with police. The councillors letter includes "it is deeply concerning to hear residents voicing fears about their freedom to engage in protests, demonstrations and large gatherings." Toronto Chief of Police Myhron Demkiw's statement in reply included "The service will always respect the right to lawful assembly, which we have done, consistently since October 7"......"When individual behaviour crosses into criminality, endangering officers or the public we will enforce the law, as is our duty....."last weekend alone, police officers were assaulted, spit on, a police horse was struck, lawful orders not followed and demonstrators attempted to obstruct officers who were effecting arrests." The Toronto Police Association in its statement wrote officers have exercised patience, have been professional and opted to de-escalate situations while "officers have been threatened with injury or death."  A demonstration is planned for Toronto this afternoon.

Today’s podcast:   Three premiers appeared before the federal government operations and estimates committee this past week to make the case for delay of tomorrow's federal carbon tax increase (or abandoning the carbon tax entirely). Yesterday we spoke with Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe (one of the three premiers). Today Alberta premier Danielle Smith who also appeared before the parl committee and made the case the carbon tax increase is not just "reckless, but also immoral." Meanwhile Alberta's fuel rebate ends tomorrow as well, adding 4 cents per litre charge for gasoline and diesel.

Today’s podcast:   A majority of Canada's premiers calling on the Justin Trudeau federal government to forego the scheduled for April 1 increase in the federal carbon tax. Trudeau insists premiers are lying about the tax when they insist it will only add to the financial burdens Canadian families are experiencing. The parliamentary budget officer told us for a second or third time on air on February 25 the carbon tax Canadian middle class families will pay will not be made revenue neutral by federal government rebates. The tax appears integral to the rapidly diminishing national support for the Trudeau government among voters. Guest: Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe. The premier assured us on air as long ago as January that Saskatchewan will neither collect nor remit the carbon tax to the federal government. Premier Moe on Wednesday appeared before the parliamentary Government Operations and Estimates committee.   Professor Sylvain Charlebois (Dalhousie university Agri Foods lab director) posted that according to Statscan the average Canadian is spending less than $250.00 monthly on groceries, a 19% decrease since 2021. According to Dalhousie's Canada Food Price Report the average person should spend $339 per month on healthy food.  Also: Charlebois also posted on Twitter/X that the only media reporting on federal environment minister Steven Guilbeault publicly misquoting him (Charlebois) in parliament as saying the carbon tax has no impact on rising food prices was done on our program. We will revisit.   As well: Professor Charlebois wrote an op ed for Post Media arguing the "phenomenon of GLP-1 drugs, exemplified by the widespread use of Ozempic, is revolutionizing societal attitudes toward health and dietary habits." Guest: Professor Sylvain Charlebois. Director of the Dalhousie University Agri Food lab.   The Francis Scott Key bridge collapse in Baltimore (timeline) after being struck by the container ship Dali. How does one of Canada's most experienced bridge construction engineers assess the collision and the what might the likelihood be of a bridge collapse under similar circumstance in Canada? Guest: Dr. Hellen Christodoulou, executive vice president, engineering, sustainability and business development at Corbec Canada. More than 40 years experience in the field of bridges and major bridge structures across Canada and the US and supervision of major bridge projects.

Keeping in mind the majority of Canada's premiers support Poilievre, including the only Liberal premier Dr. Andrew Furey of Newfoundland and Labrador. Guests: Pierre Poilievre (playback) Callers Just days after George Lovie, convicted first degree murderer of the parents of Don Edwards went AWOL while on day parole with an arrest warrant issued for Lovie, he was granted full parole by just two members of the National Parole Board.

Guests: Don and Tannis Edwards. Public frustration with and opposition to the carbon tax continues to grow. We heard from CPC leader Pierre Poilievre on his 'axe the tax' national pre-election commitment yesterday and today, as well as BC premier David Eby characterizing Poilievre's challenge of the carbon tax as being from PP's "baloney factory."  Listeners/callers have challenged the BC premier and an email sent by a Green Show listener to Trudeau, Freeland, Guilbeault and Singh, with Poilievre and me cc'd is brief, and describes the pain the carbon tax and misdirection by politicians who do not share the difficulties the average Canadian addresses daily continues to receive positive listener response. - As well, an IPSOS poll for RBC of last October details the distress Canadians, particularly younger adults, are experiences over money woes.
