  • 14772 - Roy Green Show Podcast November 16: How Trump's return affects Canadians, Taylor Swift's presence in Toronto costs taxpayers, Paul Bernardo's appears before parole board and a letter from a legendary broadcaster

    Today’s podcast: Today, some 11 days since Americans voted to return Donald Trump to the White House by a significant majority in what was expected to be a very close election, the president-elect's named cabinet officers list is generating both praise, scorn, and open concern, might we Canadians, exactly 1 year from today be dealing very recent and much unexpected federal election results of our own and what might such an unexpected federal election result have us facing? Meanwhile, former Liberal Deputy PM John Manley is advising a snap federal election now with a new Canadian federal government in place in time for Donald Trump's inauguration as U.S. President and able to challenge any Trump admin decisions potentially harmful to this country. Guest: Darrell Bricker. CEO. IPSOS Public Affairs There's no question that Taylor Swift is a music royalty and perhaps the single most successful music act ever (Bigger than the Beatles? Bigger than Elvis?) In Toronto, Swift is treated as royalty and a motorcade rivals what King Charles might experience. And who pays for this? And is it all necessary? Meanwhile, Swift's presence in Toronto adds some $282 million to the city's economy. While Taylor Swift still has concerts to perform in Toronto, she will then be in Vancouver from December 6 to 8, with the VPD preparing to add 700 officers to its rotation during the Tay Tay concerts. But about the bar set by Toronto.  Guest: Joe Warmington. Columnist with The Toronto Sun. In ten days Paul Bernardo, convicted serial rapist, kidnapper and murderer of teenagers Kristen French, Leslie Mahaffy and Tammy Homolka will again appear before the Parole Board seeking release from prison. Earlier this year Kristen's father Doug French died at age 92. Bernardo will again sit in the same room as the parents/families of his victims making his case for freedom. Meanwhile, if Bernardo were to be released into the general population of a Canadian federal prison his life expectancy would be brief. Guest: Tim Danson. Lawyer for the French and Mahaffy families since the beginning of their tragedy.   A listener emailed a piece written by legendary American broadcaster Paul Harvey penned for his grandchildren. In the letter, Harvey writes of his wishes for his grandchildren which we're wondering if listeners will find on the mark, or advice past its best-before date in 2024. We've heard both views from people asked to read the piece.

  • 14771 - Nov. 16: How Donald Trump's economic policy affects Canadians

    Opinions on the impact of Donald Trump in the White House setting economic policy for the U.S. and economic policy that will immediately and directly affect Canada. Will Trump's policies, including his love of tariffs, bring economic success to the United States and spill over into Canada? Or will Trump's economic policies result in something slightly short of economic armageddon (as one pundit wrote)?  Does our guest support former Deputy PM John Manley's call for a snap federal election now and a new and in-place federal Canadian government before Donald Trump is sworn in as the 47th President of the United States?

  • 14768 - Nov. 16: The Beauties and the Beast panel

    Former Liberal MP Michelle Simson has written a letter to current members of parliament in which Ms. Simson charges "the government's attempt to alter our fixed election date by a matter of days... Is simply to enrich MPs elected for the first time in 2019, ensuring their eligibility for a lifetime, gold-plated pension. "Self-serving" and "transparently money-grubbing" are words Simson also uses in her letter.  Since Michelle Simson, who was censured by the Liberal Party for her decision to engage ethically with Canadians, is a member of our Beauties and the Beast panel we're reconvening B&B for today for response/reaction to Michelle Simson's open letter to MPs. Guests:  Michelle Simson. Former Liberal MP Linda Leatherdale. Fmr. MONEY editor, Toronto Sun. Catherine Swift. President, Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada. Past president CFIB. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
