The Roy Green Show

As we draw nearer to the June 7th election in Ontario, the jabs are firing furiously from all corners of the political battlefield. PC leader Doug Ford insinuated there should be jail time for some Ontario Liberal leaders. Elsewhere, David Herle, co-chair of the Liberal election campaign, called Doug Ford "a bit of a dick" on live television. 

Is this sort of behavior a precursor to what lies ahead in Alberta next spring and nationally next October? 

Guest: Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs and author of “The Big Shift”

Roy takes calls, and asks if Wynne, Notley and Trudeau are all in danger of being replaced in their next respective elections.-

The World Health Organization is extremely concerned by the outbreak of measles that is quickly spreading in Europe. In the past, England's chief medical officer has warned of an "antibiotic apocalypse." 

Measles is viral, but is it part of the greater global concern of epidemic breakouts?

-An ipolitics.ca story revealed that Liberal MP Iqra Khalid, author of the controversial M-103, attended a recent community event where she introduced a religious leader who reportedly supports Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.
