Today's podcast:

Beginning January 1, Saskatchewan, according to premier Scott Moe "removed the carbon tax from home heating, making life more affordable. Saskatchewan families will no longer pay the carbon tax, or the GST on the carbon tax on natural gas or electrical heated" posted the premier to 'X'. - Might the premier and/or cabinet minister face fines or in the absolute extreme a prison sentence. Premier Moe has told us on air the Trudeau government can "bring it on!"

Guest: Scott Moe. Premier: Saskatchewan

 

Surreal? In Toronto yesterday, as pro-Palestinian demonstrators made their way again onto a highway 401 overpass, causing it to be shut down by police and separating two factions of the demonstrators engaging in intimidation in a heavily Jewish area of the city, Toronto police, instead of removing the demonstrators, acted as a Tim Hortons coffee delivery service and brought the bridge occupiers coffee and donuts purchased by one of their separated fellow demonstrators. All caught on video. 

Guest: Joe Warmington, Toronto Sun columnist. In his column today JW describes the incident as a clear "double-double standard."  

 

Book - Dirty Money: Financial Crime in Canada. Authors and professors Christian Leuprecht (Queen's U) and Jamie Ferrill (Charles Sturt U, Australia) write lawmakers at every level of government are disengaged from trying to intercede national financial criminal activity, while police are too engaged with their own investigations to initiate new ones. Massive financial organized crime has almost no chance of being discovered, leading to prosecutions.

Guests: Professor Christian Leuprecht, international security expert at Queen's University and RMC. 

Jamie Ferrill. Financial crimes investigator/instructor at the Graduate School of Policing and Security, Charles Sturt University, Canberra, Australia. Formerly with CBSA

 

The ethics surrounding the prime minister and the Liberal government go well beyond questions about ethical propriety of Justin Trudeau's Christmas/New Year free from a "friend" Jamaica vacation at a property with a usual daily price tag of $9300. - Are the correct questions being asked? Former parliamentary ethics commissioner Mario Dion (a Trudeau selection in 2018), told the NP "the public has to believe that ethics are taken seriously, and they have yet to have any big evidence of that since 2018." Dion found no less than 5 senior Liberal cabinet ministers, including the PM (for a second time) guilty of ethics violations.

There are though significant questions to be asked about Trudeau's Jamaica vacay and it being cleared by interim ethics commissioner Konrad von Finkenstein.

Guest: Duff Conacher. Co-founder Democracy Watch. Lays out the concerns.
