On this episode of The Alex Pierson Podcast, our host Alex Pierson first gets into the nitty gritty and complicated story of "Safe Supply" as it turns out the London Police Service was underreporting just how problematic organized crime has become in this program. Adam Zivo is the Director of the Canadian Centre for Responsible Drug Policy and also wrote this piece in the National Post, and questions the role of Police in this program.
Next, Alex speaks with Brad Hunter with the Toronto Sun about yet another spat of shootings in a remote Airbnb which is known as the "party villa". Brad and Alex talk about how this problematic property is still able to be booked, what's believed happened at this party and if organized crime could be at all involved.
And finally, with the likelihood that war between Hezbollah and Israel may break out any day now, Alex is joined by a Lebanese-Christian living in Israel, Jonathan Elkhoury. Jonathan lived in Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon with his family until he was able to escape into Israel, and he talks about just how dangerous this group of extremists really are.
