On this week's edition of Free For All Fridays, Scott Reid is pinch-hitting for Amanda Galbraith! On today's show: Former federal MP and former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney previews a pivotal First Ministers meeting, which is scheduled to take place next week. What will the government likely prioritize? What items of the day will provinces want fast-tracked? When it comes to energy infrastructure, urgent projects, and quick approvals, can the Carney government deliver? We do a vibe check of the textboard and take your calls!

Summoned to the stage this week is Karen Gordon of Gordon Strategy and Sabrina Grover of NorthStar Public Affairs. As the key voices of next week's First Ministers meeting start to roll in, what would you classify as a success for the Carney Liberals? Parliament is back in session! How are the party leaders faring after Week 1? U.S. President Trump is being taken to court over his 'Liberation Day' tariffs, and his legal team is biting back.

We have more federal election coverage, including how former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney shamed Liberal leader Mark Carney for defying a court decision that the 'No More Pipelines Law' was unconstitutional.Episode 16 starts with emails from concerned readers and listeners who believe we're on the right track in holding elected officials accountable. A reader of our March 30th Sun column about rampant theft from convenience stores was struck by the similarities between the decline of public safety in his town and in Winnipeg. "Living in Edmonton I see the tent cities, the gang tags, the addicts in the transit stations, the robberies, the stabbings and other violence... even when you do not see it in person you see it in the media." We ask why it's controversial to suggest the leaders from the cultural communities associated with the perps should do something, beside virtue signal, to uphold the social norm that no one has a right to walk out of a store with arms full of stolen goods just because they think they're somehow "oppressed".13.00- On Saturday a donor from St. Boniface sent a contribution to the Season Six Support campaign along with their comments about two matters.First you'll hear his observations about the federal election and the failure of the Liberal regime to improve the standard of living in our community. Then he added, "On a provincial level I am interested on what Premier Kinew thought about the protests outside Gray Academy last week. I am not Jewish but I found that protest and behaviour abhorrent.  Adults, some of them masked, yelling at staff, parents and children is completely unacceptable. How could anyone at City Hall have allowed a protest at that location? "That is exactly the topic of our important Sunday column in the Winnipeg Sun: Winnipeg's Skokie moment: A disturbing rise in antisemitism. https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/columnists/gold-winnipegs-skokie-moment-a-disturbing-rise-in-antisemitismWe add some background on the demonstration on April 1st by a mob of antisemites at the Jewish campus.24.30 Part 2- The rest of the local media has caught on to our report - ⁠ NDP Election Collapse Creating 2-Way Race⁠Why that's the case seemed to escape former provincial NDP cabinet minister Gord Mackintosh. We set him straight. Then a stern rebuke of Mark Carney was posted after he said he had⁠ no intention to repeal C-69⁠. "C-69 is *unconstitutional.* This is not optional, Mr. Carney."Jason Kenney exposed how Carney is willing to defy the Supreme Court to maintain his 'Net-Zero" globalist agenda. As Premier of Alberta, he proved the Liberal legislation was a completely illegal infringement on provincial rights. 35.30 - Independent journalists are being excluded from political rallies by by both the Carney and Poilievre campaigns. The singling out of Shadoe Davis by the CPC last week and then Caryma Sa'd by the Liberal campaign is an obstruction by the parties fearing the accountability process. @CarymaRules posted-The Mark Carney campaign has taken an anti-democratic stance by arbitrarily banning me from events, despite having no history of disruption or misconduct. “We know who you are.” And what exactly does that mean?With Carney pledging to throw another $150M to the CBC, which already gets over $800 per Canadian in subsidies, we need more voices asking more questions of politicians and bureaucrats.That's a good reason to take a moment this week to send a contribution to our funding drive and help us pay the freight to cover the federal election, the Legislature, and City Hall.*******COMMENTS/QUESTIONS/SPONSOR AND E-TRANSFER INQUIRIES:EMAIL MARTYGOLDLIVE@GMAIL.COM

This week, about 30 members of the Temple Sons of Israel Synagogue in Sydney, Nova Scotia, gathered for Rosh Hashanah services in a building that was cold, wet and lacked electricity. The building was one of many in the Maritimes battered by a post-tropical storm from Hurricane Fiona, pushing winds of up to 170 km/hr and dumping seven inches of rain across the region. But since a rabbi had already arrived from Halifax and a cantor flown in from Israel, congregants decided to go ahead with the High Holiday services—although not every Atlantic Jewish community did. And while power outages forced at least one community member to throw away kosher food imported from Toronto, and cleaning up the downed power lines and fallen trees will take days, the community is in relatively good spirits, having found ways to celebrate the new year. Shayna Strong, a community member in New Waterford, just northeast of Sydney, joins to discuss how the island's Jews are coping during these difficult times.

Possessing small amounts of illicit drugs — including opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine and MDMA — will be legal in B.C. beginning next year. Under an exemption to the federal Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, people will be able to hold up to 2.5 grams. Drug users and advocates say the exemption doesn't go far enough to curb an overdose epidemic in the country. Others have been critical of the plan, including Alberta Premier Jason Kenney who said in a statement on Tuesday that his government would be "monitoring the situation very closely." Our question this week: Should small amounts of drugs such as opioids or cocaine be decriminalized? How does the overdose problem in Canada affect you?
