Roy Green Show Podcast September 1: Sentencing to drunk driver and the Temporary Foreign Worker Program

Today’s podcast:

Canada's courts fail to apply proper sentencing to drunk drivers who kill. Criminal code permits life in prison, but most sentences in the 3-4 year range.

Guest: Ari Goldkind. Criminal lawyer. Media commentator

Sheri Arsenault's son Bradley and two of his friends were killed in 2012 when a drunk driver's truck smashed into the car they were driving. Sheri Arsenault has been challenging successive federal governments to change criminal legislation to hold drunk drivers who kill to a higher level of personal responsibility and with more severe consequences than delivered by Canadian courts. Her work was set to bear fruit until the 2015 federal election shelved legislation which had been approved by then Canadian justice minister and attorney general Peter MacKay.

Guests: Sheri Arsenault, lost her son in 2012 to a drunk driver

The Temporary Foreign Workers Program, introduced by Pierre Trudeau in 1972 is chaotic and a failure under the Justin Trudeau government. - Also, private lawyers in Canada have put in place a website where an individual's support of pro-terrorist organizations (such as publicly supporting Hamas) can be reported to CBSA as a likely immigration violation.

Guest: Richard Kurland. Vancouver immigration lawyer who has advised the federal and Quebec governments on immigration
