In this episode: Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge, Toronto Star Publisher Jordan Bitove, Ottawa University law professor Michael Geist, Toronto Star reporter Raisa Patel, Meta's head of public policy Rachel Curran, Google Canada's Richard Gingras, News Media Canada President Paul Deegan, Village Media CEO Jeff Elgie. La Presse President Pierre-Elliott Levasseur, Yellowknife evacuee Kelsey Worth, Conservative MP Kevin Waugh, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre. Hosted by Althia Raj. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized to the world and House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota resigned after MPs honoured a man in Parliament who'd fought with a Nazi unit. This isn't the only story that rocked Canadian politics recently. Last week, Ontario Premier Doug Ford reversed course on the development of Greenbelt land and Trudeau announced the government of India is more than likely involved in the shooting death of a Canadian citizen. These controversies may not have come to light if it wasn't for the work of journalists. But journalism, in Canada, is facing a crisis. Declining advertising revenues have led to the shedding of thousands of jobs and the closures of hundreds of local publications. Meanwhile, Google and Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, are reaping billions of ad dollars worldwide. This week on “It's Political,” we dig into the federal government's response to a crisis decades in the making. The Online News Act, which became law this summer, has prompted Meta to block news links on its platforms. Is Google ready to follow suit? Is the government shooting itself in the foot or has it found the path to sustainability for newspapers and local broadcasters? Ottawa University law professor Michael Geist, the Canada research chair in internet and e-commerce law, joins Toronto Star reporter Raisa Patel in helping us break down the law, formerly known as Bill C-18. We'll also hear from Meta, Google, and publishers affected by the bill, including Toronto Star owner Jordan Bitove. Then, we'll sit down with Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge.

For years, I was not living in alignment with my own purpose and gifts and it is something I'm still working on.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - Jason Kenney, leader of the United Conservative Party of Alberta, joins Roy to assess the early days of the provincial election and to speak on how he and the UCP identify what Albertans want from their provincial government. Then we speak with Rachel Curran, former Director of Policy for Prime Minister Stephen Harper. She gives her input on the Trudeau government budget and Liberal MP Judy Sgro's demand that Jody Wilson Raybould and Jane Philpott "put up, or shut up." Scott Taylor, former soldier and founder and the Canadian military magazine Esprit de Corps, says there criminal case against Canadian Vice-Admiral Mark Norman is dubious. Vice-Admiral Norman was charged with breach of trust for allegedly leaking information to Davie Shipbuilding of QC. Admiral Norman is denied payment of his legal expenses by Ottawa because he was considered 'guilty' according to a leaked Justice Department letter before the Admiral was even charged with any offence. Roy gets more on this from Scott Taylor. One of the big issues engaging – and sometimes dividing – families across Canada at this time is the question face by graduating high school around this time of year: "university or the trades?" Roy brings on Professor Ken Coates and Catherine Swift, who both have personal connections to this question. Liberal MPs are publicly turning on Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott, following the shutdown of the parliamentary justice committee's investigation of the SNC/PMO/Trudeau/JWR issue. Meanwhile, Wilson-Raybould will be sending the committee copies of texts and emails which she says will substantiate her testimony at the committee last month. What is most likely going on inside the Liberal Party of Canada? And why hasn't Prime Minister Trudeau simply removed Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott from the Liberal caucus? We ask two former Liberal MPs, Dan McTeague and Michelle Simson. - Guests: Jason Kenney, leader of Alberta's United Conservative Party Rachel Curan, former Director of Policy for Prime Minister Stephen Harper Guest: Scott Taylor.

Andrew Scheer and Conservative policy, a Policy Options podcast. The Conservative leadership race is over, and the contestants who pushed the envelope with more provocative policy ideas didn’t make the cut. They included Michael Chong, with his support for carbon taxes, Maxime Bernier, with his call to end supply management, and Kellie Leitch, who pushed for a “values” test for new Canadians. Instead, consensus candidate Andrew Scheer won the day with a more cautious platform. So how will Scheer handle policy development for the party as it prepares for the 2019 election? Rachel Curran, a former policy director for prime minister Stephen Harper, joined us on the podcast to discuss the possibilities. Download for free. New episodes every second Tuesday.
