Just spoke to Danette in Cuba

7/30/2010 8:49:24 AM

Monday morning, just before 9 and I spoke to Danette a few minutes ago. Today and tomorrow are Cuban holidays so everything remains static until Wednesday when Cody and Danette are to meet yet again with the lawyer the Cuban government required them to hire. Yet more cost they cannot...

Cody's continuing story with Ottawa's involvement(?) today

7/30/2010 8:49:24 AM

Before you read my latest thoughts on the concerns about having Ottawa involve itself usefully in the calls for our federal officials to prevail upon Cuban authorities to allow Cody LeCompte to return to Canada, let me reply to what so many listeners have asked by email. Is there a...

Support for Cody is overwhelming!

Following the on air segment today on the detention of Cody LeCompte in Cuba (if you're not aware of the story, read the previous blog posting), reaction by phone on air and in emails to roy@roygreenshow.com was instant and massive. There is a determination among the vast majority of listeners...

Sulphur...?? Michael Ignatieff claims "a whiff of sulphur" emanates from Stephen Harper?

7/30/2010 8:49:24 AM

There's much which could fill this space today (and probably should ahead of accusations of noxious substances pouring from one political leader to another), but I just can't resist taking a run at this one. Michael Ignatieff announced in Calgary that Canadians "can smell the whiff of sulphur" emanating from...

enjoyed the week broadcasting in Alberta

Was a great experience sitting in for Dave Rutherford on the Alberta Corus network all week. I won't be doing my weekend show this week, but back next Saturday and Sunday. I will be blogging comments but will leave you with this quick thought. It's unaccetable that Clifford Olson might...
