The Roy Green Show Podcast

-Conservative MP Erin O'Toole, along with Jason Kenney and Peter MacKay, was one of the three former Harper government cabinet ministers who spoke with Marie Henein, lead lawyer for Admiral Mark Norman. Did the information they provided cause the prosecution to stay the charge against the Admiral? The RCMP failed to interview the former federal ministers, although Peter MacKay told us yesterday the RCMP did speak with him about a very narrow focus. Roy starts off the podcast with MP O’Toole, to get his perspective on what happened.

Later, Scott Newark – former Alberta prosecutor and senior policy advisor to a federal Minister for Public Safety, now a professor at Simon Fraser University – gives his view on staying of criminal charge against Admiral Mark Norman.Roy also gets Scott’s take on the case of Jack Letts, dubbed “Jihadi Jack” by members of the U.K. press, and Stewart Bell’s report for Global News that shows the Canadian government looked at possible options for bringing back ISIS members.

What are the pros and cons of electric vehicles? BC Green Party leader, Andrew Weaver, told the Lynda Steele Show on CKNW that BC drivers  anxious about the price of gasoline should consider an equity loan on their homes to purchase an electric vehicle. Roy brings in three experts on electric vehicles to get their views on the future of the electric car in Canada.Asia Bibi is a Christian Pakistani woman who was sentenced to death for blasphemy. The Pakistan Supreme Court overturned the sentence but Bibi was still in danger as public demonstrations by hardline Islamists demanding her death took place in Pakistan. Now Asia Bibi and her family have been permitted to enter and live in Canada where they are under federal government protection.
