Electricity costs in Ontario, remembering Corporal Nathan Cirillo, new Canadians not integrating into Canadian culture, and Saskatchewan premier argues against national carbon tax

Ontario's spiraling electricity prices – it’s never been cheaper to produce but has never been more expensive for the consumer. And apparently, the worst is yet to come.

Guest: Ross McKitrick, economics professor at the University of Guelph and columnist for the Financial Post

- Dinelle's Country Market in Echo Bay, Northern Ontario has closed two thirds of its store, mostly because of high electricity costs. The 5000 square foot store no longer has a deli or bakery and has cut back greatly on fresh produce. They can't afford to keep the refrigeration equipment running and they’ve cut staff from 7 to 3 people.

Guest: Loggy Dinelle, operator of Dinelle's Supermarket, which has been in the community for 37 years - Today marks the second anniversary of the murder of Corporal Nathan Cirillo as the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Regiment soldier stood ceremonial guard at the National War Museum.  Corporal Cirillo was killed by ISIS supporter Michael Zehaf Bibeau. Thousands of Canadians lined the Highway of Heroes as Corporal Cirillo's body was driven back to his hometown of Hamilton.               Guest: Ron Foxcroft, honourary colonel of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders at the time of Corporal Cirillo's death - Last Saturday, the phone lines burned up after Roy read a post from a listener named Trish on roygreenshow.com. Trish posting begins with the words "Hi Roy, I guess I'm a deplorable racist." There were some great calls, including ones from Canadians of Pakistani and Indian heritage, whose communities Trish wrote about not integrating nd taking over entire communities. Guest:  Trish, who wrote she will have to move to small prairie town to live in a Canadian community where she is accepted - The Premier of Saskatchewan directly challenges the Prime Minister of Canada and argues against Justin Trudeau's national carbon tax. He says the billions of taxpayer dollars Justin Trudeau is delivering to the U.N. for climate change initiatives should be staying in Canada and invested in Canadian efforts to mitigate against climate change.  Guest: Brad Wall, premier of Saskatchewan
