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."

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 base

Why are university students in both Canada and the United States, as well as in Europe particularly engaging in "Jew hatred?" The clinical term is antisemitism, but really in the post secondary environments it is blatant Jew hatred which I for one never expected to experience at all in Canada, let alone at the level we're witnessing. We're going to speak with Jewish Canadians both today and tomorrow and one of our guests tomorrow was the specific target of vicious and intimidating Jew hatred.  Guest: Professor Eric Kam. 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. Toronto Metropolitan University. Three weeks ago Professor Kam joined us with Emma, a Jewish student of his who feels empowered after discussing the issue of antisemitism at TMU with Professor Kam.

A different Trudeau on the Green Show. Two weeks ago we pre-recorded an interview with Sophie Gregoire Trudeau about her new book "Closer Together, Knowing Ourselves, Loving Each Other. The interview was embargoed until this past Tuesday, April 23, the publication date for the Sophie Gregoire Trudeau's book. We posted the interview to the program web page and to 'X'.  She, by the way, did not say "no" to my invitation that she co-host one program with me.

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." This lawsuit represents all current Jewish TMU students, as well as Jewish students who attended TMU between 1998 and 2021.  Guest: Sandra Zisckind, founding partner, at Diamond and Diamond LLP (DiamondLaw.ca) Learn more about your ad choices.

From doctors to Canada's business community, the federal budget is being hammered as a prime jewel of financial misfires. Guest: Professor Eric Kam. Macroeconomics.

Leger national poll of recent immigrants to Canada (past 10 years) reveals interesting views from these immigrants about federal Liberals immigration targets. 42% say immigration target numbers are too high. Slightly more than 1/3rd say numbers are about right, 7% said numbers are too low and 17% expressed no opinion. In your view are Canada's immigration numbers too high and impact too heavily on healthcare, housing and social programs, or would you and your family benefit from an increase in the annual influx of newcomers to Canada? Guest: Andrew Enns, executive vice president, Leger Marketing, from Winnipeg. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/recent-immigrants-think-canada-s-immigration-targets-are-too-high-prefer-tories-to-liberals-poll/ar-AA1netyd And: Callers.

Today’s podcast:   Did Israel attack Iran Thursday in retaliation for Iran's missile and drone strike against Israel. Israel is not saying and Iran claims drones launched from within its borders were shot down, thereby setting aside a requirement for the shooting by the two principal regional opponents to continue. Perhaps.  Guest: Israel's Ambassador to Canada, Iddo Moed.   In this week's federal budget the commitment by the Liberals and Justin Trudeau was made to build 4 million homes by 2031. Is that even remotely possible?  Guest: Shane Wenzel.
