Today's podcast: PM Justin Trudeau on Wednesday challenged Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe saying "good luck with that" concerning the premier's decision to no longer collect the federal carbon tax and remit to Ottawa, adding CRA is "very, very good at getting money it is owed." What does the Saskatchewan premier say in response to the challenge be Mr. Trudeau? Guest: Scott Moe. Premier. Saskatchewan. Replies to PM. Questions linger over the Umar Zameer first degree murder charge in the death of Toronto police Detective Constable Jeffrey Northrup and reaction to the trial of Mr. Zameer which came to an end last Sunday with a not guilty jury verdict, as well as the trial judge's "deepest apologies" expressed to Mr. Zameer. Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw's statement following the verdict that police "were hoping for a different outcome" has caused the Canadian Civil Liberties Association to engage and on Thursday the CCLA wanted to know what steps the Toronto Police Services Board will take to ensure the Chief and other police members will not "publicly malign bail decisions or criminal verdicts in the future." Toronto Police Service has responded, saying the chief "has stated numerous times that he supports the justice system and accepts the decision by the jury."  Comments made by Ontario premier Doug Ford, who described bail issued to Mr. Zameer as "completely unacceptable." Ford has since said his statement was based on "limited information" about the case. We speak to the head of the Toronto Police Association, representing rank and file officers. This after Umar Zameer advised "police should not commit perjury, or put up people prepared to commit perjury."   Guest: Jon Reid. President Toronto Police Association. Why are university students in both Canada and the United States, as well as in Europe particularly engaging in "Jew hatred?"

Usually our go-to macroeconomics professor dealing with our national and personal economies, but today back to speak about Jew hatred on university campuses and one in particular. His university campus.

Three weeks ago we spoke with Toronto Metropolitan University Jewish student Emma and her Jewish professor and our program economics contributor Eric Kam about blatant antisemitism Jewish students at TMU are subjected to. Since then a lawsuit has been launched by a student and former employee of TMU against the university claiming $1.3 million in damages arguing TMU has become a "poisoned antisemitic learning and working environment." Last November Toronto law firm Diamond and Diamond initiated a class action lawsuit against Toronto Metropolitan University and its student union alleging both groups repeatedly have failed to address a "well-documented history of antisemitism on the TMU campus."

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). A leaked internal memo from B.C.'s Northern Health Authority, covering the northern half of the province revealed staff at hospitals within the region had been instructed to tolerate drugs and weapons at their workplaces.  Guest: Adriene Gear. President. British Columbia Nurses Union (BCNU).   This past week the Liberal government which recently declared it would cut $1-billion from military spending released its long overdue defence policy named Our North, Strong and Free: A Renewed Vision for Canada's Defence.  The new policy is exploring spending many $-billions spread out over years in order to provide the CAF with equipment ranging from submarines, helicopters, ships, missile systems, modern artillery and long range air and sea lauched missiles. - More CAF members will be recruited (we're approximately 16K short at present) in order to create a credible fighting and defence force.   Canada's annual defence spending is required to be 2% of GDP under NATO agreement. The new spending will still not reach that 2% of GDP requirement/commitment and our NATO allies are not pleased.

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:   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."
