Roy Green Show Podcast September 22: Is the Canadian government increasingly turning its back on our traditional ally Israel?, Canadian drinking less alcohol, more on the controversial field trip and fixing Canada's healthcare system

The Roy Green Show

Today’s podcast:

Is there any question any longer than war has in fact broken out between Israel and the Iran-sponsored and defined by Canada as a terrorist organization, Hezbollah?

And is the Canadian government increasingly turning its back on our traditional ally Israel? Israel certainly considers this to be so as Israel's Ambassador to Canada suggested on air with us yesterday.

Guest: Vivian Bercovici. Former Canadian Ambassador to Israel

Canadians are drinking less (alcohol). Why might that be at a time of increased tensions? Cost? Something else?

Guest: Professor Sylvain Charlebois. Director: Agrifoods Laboratory, Dalhousie University

Tor-Sun headline: "Students as young as eight compelled to attend political protest 'field trip.'

An extension on AM 640 Toronto's Greg Brady joining us yesterday about children being walked through antisemitic demonstration by teachers from the Toronto District School Board, parents unaware and/or their objections be damned.

Guest: Bryan Passifiume. PostMedia reporter/columnist

We will begin to review issues which should take prominence in the upcoming federal election, whenever that may occur between now and next October.

Issue 1: Healthcare for Canadians. The number of Canadians without a family doctor, currently at 6.5 million will swell to 10 million, or 25% of the national population. Meanwhile, seeing a specialist can take a year or longer in Canada and some people are dying undiagnosed. What is the a possible solution? One argument is the introduction of additional private and insurable healthcare for Canadians. That is constantly decried and the doctor who has been at the forefront of the private healthcare for Canadians argument and has seen his arguments set aside by Canadian courts repeatedly is Dr. Brian Day.

Guest: Dr. Brian Day. Founder, Cambie Surgery Centre, Vancouver. Author of My Fight for Canadian Healthcare: A Thirty-Year Battle to Put Patients First. Dr. Day is a past president of the Canadian Medical Association.
