The Roy Green Show

Today's Podcast:

A Toronto father and son arrested while allegedly in the "advanced stages" of planning a violent attack in the city and have been charged with multiple terrorism-related offences, the RCMP say.

Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, and Mostafa Eldidi, 26, face a total of nine charges. Among them is one count each of conspiracy to commit murder for the benefit or at the direction of a terrorist group — namely ISIS, a Sunni Muslim militant organization.

Guest : Mercedes Stephenson is a Canadian journalist and military analyst, host of Global Television Network's Sunday morning talk show The West Block.

GUEST : Scott Newark

With the recent killing of the Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah second-in-command Faud Shukr in Lebanon, is the Middle East on the brink of all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah? Hezbollah and Iran have vowed revenge against Israel which has not confirmed if it was behind the killing of Haniyeh. As well, anti-Semitic violence continues in Canada and particularly in Toronto. What can the city do to help improve the situation.

GUEST : Vivian Bercovici, a Canadian-Israeli lawyer and academic. Former Canadian Ambassador to Israel.

Unethical behavior in the world's major sporting events is still met with head-shaking and outright consternation and disbelief. See the Team Canada women's soccer team drone-spying scandal in Paris. But has cheating/unethical behavior become essentially commonplace in sport competition worldwide? Huge money are in play, as are massive career boosts and earnings.

GUEST : Professor Declan Hill

Considerable number of headlines concerning the state of Canada's economy have been published over the past weeks. How many have made the public radar? Each one has an impact on either many, most or all Canadians.

GUEST : Professor Eric Kam Macro-economist. Toronto Metropolitan University.
