The chief strategic architect of that turnaround and subsequent history-making success is our guest today on the pod, Kory Teneycke.Most of you listeners know Kory from his seat on the Curse of Politics political panel, where he gives as good a soundbite as he gets with me, Scott and Jordan.Today I want to have a deeper, more detailed conversation into the just finished Ontario election.

The Honourable Milton Dick MP, who is currently the Federal Member for Oxley, had the honouring in being elected as the 32nd Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives in July, 2022. With a strong focus on serving the community and helping whenever and wherever he can, Milton has had an association with the political landscape since he joined the ALP at the age of 18 as a university student and served as National President of Young Labor. He's worked in a number of other roles, from Electorate Officer for David Beddall and a position working for Senator John Hogg, the President of the Senate at the time. In 2004, he was appointed as the ALP's State Secretary and Campaign Director, having served as a delegate to the national conference since 2001. He led the party's successful campaign in Queensland at the 2007 Federal Election and announced his resignation in December 2007 to stand for political office, which he was successful in being elected as the Brisbane City Councillor for the Richlands Ward. During his time as a Councillor, he held the Deputy Leader of the Opposition and then Leader of the Opposition from 2012 to the time of his resignation in 2016, where he he was pre-selected and elected as the Federal Member for Oxley, following the Hon Bernie Ripoll's retirement. During this episode, Milton's passion for people, for community and for increasing the level of what he calls Democratic Literacy is very evident. As the 32nd Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives, he takes huge pride in his position and the responsibility of the role is certainly not taken for granted. It's a great conversation where he shares plenty of his thoughts, reflections and information on life, people and politics.

However, due to commercial whaling in the late 1800s and 1900s, the population plummeted to as low as 100 to 200 whales. After the ban on commercial whaling in 1935, the population slowly began to recover, but it faced new challenges with industrialization, increased shipping, and fishing activities. Recent years have shown a leveling off in the North Atlantic right whale population, indicating a potential stabilization after a period of steep decline. In a particular summer, 19 calves were born, offering hope for the species. This positive development is especially significant considering there were years with very low calf numbers or even no calves born at all. The fact that 15 calves were presumed alive from the previous summer's births is a promising sign for the future of the population. The increase in calf births and the stabilization of the population suggest that conservation efforts and management strategies, such as mandatory slowdowns in shipping lanes and ropeless gear initiatives, may be starting to have a positive impact. These measures, along with the strengthening of regulations under the Fisheries Act, have contributed to creating a more favorable environment for the North Atlantic right whales to thrive. While challenges like ship strikes, entanglement in fishing gear, and the impacts of climate change still exist, the recent trends in the North Atlantic right whale population offer hope for the species' future. Continued efforts to protect and conserve these whales are crucial to ensure their long-term survival and recovery. In a podcast episode, Kim Elmsley, the campaign director for Oceana Canada, discussed ongoing efforts to protect North Atlantic right whales from ship strikes and entanglements. Each year, measures are announced for both fishing and shipping as part of an annual management strategy. These measures include mandatory speed reductions in certain areas of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, where the whales are known to frequent. Additionally, there are seasonal areas with mandatory speed reductions at the beginning and end of the year when the whales are entering or leaving the region. One significant development is the consideration of more permanent regulations by Transport Canada. They are looking at establishing a more stable structure for measures like mandatory speed reductions, rather than announcing them annually. This move aims to provide a consistent framework for protecting the whales from ship strikes. The government plans to initiate a consultation process to gather feedback and input from stakeholders and the public before finalizing these regulations. Advancements in the fishing industry regarding ropeless gear strategies have also been made. The Fisheries Act regulations have been modified to allow for a larger commercial use of ropeless gear. This technology aims to reduce the risk of entanglement for marine mammals, including North Atlantic right whales. By transitioning to ropeless gear, fishermen can deploy their traps without the need for traditional end lines that pose entanglement risks to whales. These regulatory changes demonstrate a proactive approach to addressing the threats posed by fishing gear entanglements to the endangered whale population. Overall, the efforts to implement more permanent regulations, such as mandatory speed reductions and the adoption of ropeless gear strategies, reflect a commitment to long-term conservation and protection of North Atlantic right whales from ship strikes and entanglements. These regulatory measures, coupled with ongoing research and stakeholder engagement, are crucial steps towards ensuring the survival and recovery of this critically endangered species. The government is taking steps to implement long-term solutions and regulations to address the threats faced by North Atlantic right whales. This includes changes in fishing gear regulations and whale watching practices. The Fisheries Act, which was restructured about five years ago, has played a role in strengthening regulations related to marine mammals. The act has been instrumental in funding initiatives aimed at protecting marine mammals, including North Atlantic right whales. Additionally, the regulations under the Fisheries Act have been modified to address specific issues such as entanglement of whales in fishing gear. For example, the requirement for end lines on trap lines, which are a common cause of entanglement, has been adjusted to allow for the use of ropeless gear. This change in regulations has paved the way for a larger commercial level of ropeless gear to be used, offering a potential solution to reduce entanglement risks for the whales. Furthermore, the government has also made adjustments to regulations concerning whale watching practices. These regulations dictate how closely vessels can approach whales, especially endangered species like North Atlantic right whales. By extending the distance at which vessels can approach whales, the government aims to minimize disturbances to these vulnerable marine mammals. These regulatory changes demonstrate the government's commitment to protecting North Atlantic right whales and ensuring their long-term survival. The ongoing efforts to implement these regulations and long-term solutions highlight the importance of proactive conservation measures to safeguard the population of these critically endangered whales.

Florida—a state with the third largest population in the U.S. and the second largest abortion provider in the U.S.—has recently allowed a state Supreme Court decision that will ban abortion after six weeks gestation. Lauren Brenzel, Campaign Director with Floridians Protecting Freedom sits down to talk with us about the inner workings of this case and how it will further impact abortion access for those in the state and across the country. After this policy goes into effect on May 1st, 2024, patients in Florida (who can) will likely have to travel as far as New York and Illinois to receive abortion care. Florida's Supreme Court decision follows up years of challenging legislative sessions that have dismantled public education, banned sex education, and prevented the expansion of Medicaid. A ballot initiative has been introduced that may remove the Supreme Court ruling in November.

EP-117 Jay Fratt for Congress Campaign website - https://www.jayfratt.com/ We need more servants and less bureaucrats. For my entire adult life our country has been headed toward a fiscal cliff. For decades I pursued the American dream while paying attention to politics. I watched and waited for honesty, integrity, and accountability to take hold within our representative political structure. Over the last seven years watching and waiting has turned into participating. I gave up my desire for economic gains to volunteer full-time researching and working for Conservative principles and values. I started as a Precinct Committee Officer, and became an elected state committee member. I have volunteered on numerous local campaigns from state representative to school board. My research and volunteer efforts caught the eye of fellow Washingtonian Eric Boerner who was running for President of the United States. I became his Campaign Director and facilitated campaign tours through Iowa, South Carolina, and New Hampshire while creating volunteer outreach groups in several other states. I work under the power of my own steam, highly motivated to help my county, state, and country as the fiscal cliff is now at our feet. The 10th Congressional District needs a volunteer candidate who isn't interested in red meat rhetoric, but instead brings immediate solutions to the crises of the day. First and foremost I am Anti War. The regime change policies of the past several decades have failed us. We must do better at home and abroad. Second, I helped develop with the Boerner campaign an immediate National Guard training mission to stem and solve the migrant crisis at both our borders. Third, the Green New Deal is a wasteful plan relying foreign resources. With the Boerner campaign I helped develop the New Red Deal based on Fusion technology and American resources. Jay Fratt - The right man. The right time. The right district.

Deep Throat, Operation Gemstone, two valiant reporters, and a secret 30 years in the making. Watergate was not a single scandal, but rather an avalanche of events and co-conspirators, all engaged in corruption to keep President Nixon in office. The stakes were so high that Nixon's Special Security Advisor, G. Gordon Liddy, lived under fear of being assassinated, and the wife of Nixon's Campaign Director & Attorney General was drugged and held captive in a hotel room to keep her silent. What was the “smoking gun” that led to the toppling of this enterprise? Was it the tapes Nixon secretly recorded, and the 18-minute gap, that ultimately pushed Nixon to be the first and only President to resign?Writer, Host, and Executive Producer: Sharon McMahonAudio Producer: Jenny SnyderWriters and Researchers: Amy Watkin, Mandy Reid, and Kari AntonProduction Coordinator: Andrea Champoux Hosted on Acast.
