  William (Bill) Vandergraaf with Law Enforcement Again Prohibition at www.LEAP.cc talks to us about the drug scene in Canada and how the drug war is hurting people from his perspective as a retired police officer. We ask him about the violent relationship between police and every day citizens. We were kind of surprised with how he responded.

  Matt Mernagh (www.mernagh.ca) returns to the show to update us on his court case.

A week ago, the Ontario Court of Appeal overturned Mernagh’s initial victory and so now, Mernagh and his legal team are hoping to have their day in the Supreme Court of Canada.
