Roy Green Show Podcast, Mar30: Sask Premier Moe challenges Trudeau on carbon tax hike. - Prof Sylvain Charlebois, enviro minister misquote, and why are Cdns spending less on food? - Cdn bridge engineer Hellen Christodoulou on Baltimore collapse.

Today’s podcast:
 
A majority of Canada's premiers calling on the Justin Trudeau federal government to forego the scheduled for April 1 increase in the federal carbon tax. Trudeau insists premiers are lying about the tax when they insist it will only add to the financial burdens Canadian families are experiencing. The parliamentary budget officer told us for a second or third time on air on February 25 the carbon tax Canadian middle class families will pay will not be made revenue neutral by federal government rebates. The tax appears integral to the rapidly diminishing national support for the Trudeau government among voters.
Guest: Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe. The premier assured us on air as long ago as January that Saskatchewan will neither collect nor remit the carbon tax to the federal government. Premier Moe on Wednesday appeared before the parliamentary Government Operations and Estimates committee.
 
Professor Sylvain Charlebois (Dalhousie university Agri Foods lab director) posted that according to Statscan the average Canadian is spending less than $250.00 monthly on groceries, a 19% decrease since 2021. According to Dalhousie's Canada Food Price Report the average person should spend $339 per month on healthy food. 
Also: Charlebois also posted on Twitter/X that the only media reporting on federal environment minister Steven Guilbeault publicly misquoting him (Charlebois) in parliament as saying the carbon tax has no impact on rising food prices was done on our program. We will revisit.  
As well: Professor Charlebois wrote an op ed for Post Media arguing the "phenomenon of GLP-1 drugs, exemplified by the widespread use of Ozempic, is revolutionizing societal attitudes toward health and dietary habits."
Guest: Professor Sylvain Charlebois. Director of the Dalhousie University Agri Food lab.
 
The Francis Scott Key bridge collapse in Baltimore (timeline) after being struck by the container ship Dali. How does one of Canada's most experienced bridge construction engineers assess the collision and the what might the likelihood be of a bridge collapse under similar circumstance in Canada?
Guest: Dr. Hellen Christodoulou, executive vice president, engineering, sustainability and business development at Corbec Canada. More than 40 years experience in the field of bridges and major bridge structures across Canada and the US and supervision of major bridge projects. PhD in Civil Engineering, lawyer and MBA.
