Clean5/6 Roy Green Show Hour 3 | 4:05: Last Monday was income tax deadline day. Ho much of the money we pay in income tax goes to funding public sector pensions (anyone who works for any level of government) and how much goes to the kinds of expenses we believe it does (funding healthcare, maintaining our military, repairing roads, etc)?

Clean4/28 Roy Green Show Hour 1 | 2:05pm: After weeks of protest, some of it violent and destructive, Quebec's university students have received a new offer from the Charest government concerning tuition. Instead of tuition increasing by $1,625 over five years, the offer now is to spread the increase over seven years meaning students would see an annual increase of $254, down from $325.
