Roy Green Show Podcast October 12: The issue on immigration, the carbon tax and teen gender issues

The Roy Green Show

Today’s podcast:

Immigration. Will be, or already is, a major issue in developing provincial elections and the upcoming federal election. An immigration lawyer wrote to me: "our system was working just fine. We based it on getting the top human capital possible. Then came Justin Trudeau, who switched it to get the most votes possible." - Quebec and Ontario want asylum seekers resettled more equally across Canada which Ottawa supports, but B.C. Is already pushing back.

Guest: Richard Kurland. Immigration lawyer who has advised both the federal and Quebec governments on immigation policies. Based in Vancouver.

Former Alberta premier and federal immigration minister Jason Kenney is highly critical of Justin Trudeau's immigration decisions.

We are very close to the 8th anniversary of the introduction of a national carbon tax to Canada and Canadian.s

As premiers before and during provincial elections, as well as the dominant national polling leading Conservative Party of Canada and its leader Pierre Poilievre are exercising various means of exiting charging a carbon tax to Canadians and the tax is poised to play a major role in the upcoming federal election we return to the introduction of the national carbon tax by PM Justin Trudeau to Canada's premiers in 2016. After Trudeau finished his sales pitch, then Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall issued his famous three word assessment, "what's the point?"

Shortly afterward, as the federal and provincial environment ministers met concerning the carbon tax, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia's ministers walked out of the meeting.

Guest: Brad Wall. Former Premier of Saskatchewan

Teen gender issues and gender dysphoria. While provinces (Saskatchewan and New Brunswick took the lead) passed legislation enshrining parental rights on such decisions, in Switzerland a teen is being removed from her parents care because of their objection to puberty blockers. Is Canada and cases such as this next? The main theme has become respecting the right of a young child, deemed mature by the medical profession, to make potentially lie-altering medical choices, but not deemed sufficiently mature to make decisions to drive until age 16, or smoke or drink until age of majority. A major election issue in both Saskatchewan and New Brunswick, but what about B.C.? And what about your child?
