The arts have that capacity to be powerful broadcasters, conveyors of messages, invitations to celebration, reflection, storytelling, narrative building and so on. There's a vital role here for the arts. But like the rest of society, frankly, whether it's the banking system or government we're simply not doing it well enough that we could say we're satisfied with how much is happening and everything's going to be okay. It's not. If we just stopped now, chaos and worse are due. It's not to say that we can hold up the arts and say, if only you were doing your job, everything would be fine. No, we all have, no matter what sector, so much to do.This is my second conscient conversation with social innovator and former CEO of McConnell Foundation, Stephen Huddart.

Highly processed vegetable oils, derived from seeds and beans, have become a dominant part of modern diets despite significant health concerns. Historical biases in nutrition science, influenced by the vegetable oil industry, have promoted these oils despite evidence from controlled studies showing negative health outcomes. These oils are unstable, prone to oxidation, and can create toxic byproducts, particularly when exposed to heat, contributing to inflammation and chronic diseases. Although they can lower LDL cholesterol, studies have shown that this reduction does not necessarily improve heart health and may increase risks for other conditions like cancer. In contrast, traditional fats like extra virgin olive oil and omega-3-rich foods offer more stability and health benefits, emphasizing the need for a balanced, minimally processed approach to dietary fats. In this episode, I talk with Nina Teicholz and Max Lugavere to explore the health impacts of different types of fats and oils, debunking misconceptions around cooking with extra virgin olive oil and emphasizing the dangers of industrial vegetable oils. Nina Teicholz is a science journalist and author of the New York Times bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat—especially saturated fat—and spurred a new conversation about whether these fats in fact cause heart disease. She is also the founder of the Nutrition Coalition, a non-profit working to ensure that government nutrition policy is transparent and evidence-based—work for which she's been asked to testify before the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Canadian Senate.

In less than two months on the job for Noah Shack, the interim CEO of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) has had to speak out after someone shot at a Jewish girls' school in Toronto; decry a repeated arson attack on a Montreal-area synagogue; and oversee the response in Winnipeg after five swastikas were spray-painted on a community centre in a Jewish area during the final days of Hanukkah. But none of those moments marked his true national introduction, which came on Jan. 27, when he delivered a televised speech from Ottawa's Holocaust monument as part of the official ceremony to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Shack—who spent nearly 15 years working for CIJA in Ottawa and Toronto—has now risen to become the organization's public face, following the exit of Shimon Koffler Fogel, who managed Jewish government relations in the capital for approximately 40 years. Insiders have told The CJN that CIJA's board wanted a change of leadership ahead of an expected change in government in the coming federal election. Shack is also clear that CIJA is eager to combat anti-Israel policies, such as federal funding for the UN-backed Palestinian relief agency UNRWA—but insists CIJA isn't hitching its wagons to the Conservative party. On today's episode of The CJN Daily, Shack sits down with host Ellin Bessner to explain why he took the job, why he's calling for unity among Canada's Jewish organizations, and why he hopes Jews soon won't need to think about fleeing Canada for their own safety.

In 2018, the Tommy Douglas Institute at George Brown College in Toronto welcomed then Senator and former head of the Truth and Reconciliation of Canada, the Honourable Murray Sinclair as its keynote speaker. Through his poignant address about the impacts of Canada's colonial history and the residential school system on the lives of Indigenous Peoples and the meaning of reconciliation, we experienced first-hand the brilliance, integrity, kindness and humour of this truly remarkable individual.

Reflecting on reconciliation, Sinclair said: “Reconciliation is a process which is building. It's not a spectator sport. It involves everybody. And everybody is implicated in it .. No neutrality exists here. .. And understanding it is part of the educational process. And understanding the implications it has for you is part of the challenge that we also need to face. And all of that has to do with knowledge. All of that has to do with dialogue as well, and developing consensus and agreement about where we're going to go as a country… We have to talk about what kind of relationship we're going to have going forward. . And that means we have to think differently. We have to think better. ” rabble had previously shared this keynote address here.

Welcome to HashTag Trending, the weekend edition. I'm your host Jim Love. I can understand if many of you get frustrated about politics. What we see for the most part is a lot of BS. Ask a politician a simple question and you'll get a lot of non-answers, talking points ways that their political opponents have it wrong. Yes, that's true even in Canadian politics. So what do we do? We can get involved and try to change the process. I've certainly done that. I've worked for every political party at one point. I've worked for the NDP - Neil Young - not the musician and Bob Rae, I've worked to support the Liberals under Stephane Dion, one of the most incredible people I've ever met, I've been a riding president of a Progressive Conservative riding which led me to meet and grown to like Joe Clarke for the authentic person he is. I know what you are thinking. What's wrong with this guy? Can't he take a side? And the clear answer is no. I can't take sides. There is only side - and that's what's best for Canadians. So I've never been a believer in party labels. I wanted to work with authentic people who wanted to make Canada a better nation and make a future for our children. And the need was never greater. Canada is in crisis. Our productivity numbers are plummeting. Regardless of what you get fed from government sources, we are not a leader in AI, or in digital government. But equally, the stuff that the opposition parties are feeding you - that's nonsense as well. The reality is if you strip away the party lines, if you talk to the smartest people in Ottawa, you'd know the truth. We are in crisis. Our future standard of living is in real jeopardy. And yet, we are an incredibly resilient people, we have so much going for us, that if we could get it together we could fulfil that quote of Wilfred Laurier - the 21st Century belongs to Canada. But what do we do? Fortunately, we have a structure in our Government where parties don't really have to matter. It's called the Senate. For my American listeners, you have a Senate as well - it's called the body of “sober second thought.” The difference in Canada - our senators are actually sober. I say that in jest, but in our Senate, and I'm not taking political sides, but credit where credit is due, our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, said he would no longer make political appointments to the Canadian Senate. He would appoint knowledgeable people and challenge them to “challenge the government's thinking.” In other words, he would try to make the Senate truly a “body of sober second thought.” A place where non-partisan citizens would join with only the best interests of the country at heart. A place where people who weren't politicians could offer their experience and expertise to the governance of our nation. There's nobody you will meet that embodies this more than my guest, Colin Deacon. Senator Deacon is a serial entrepreneur and someone who knows technology and knows how to build businesses that export to the world in a digital economy. And we're lucky to have him - both in the senate and for this interview. I met Senator Deacon at the Digital Governance Council, another group of non-partisan, business and government leaders who also have one objective - to help Canada become a leader in the digital economy. I was totally impressed by him and asked if he's sit for an interview with us. I hope you'll be as inspired by it as I was.

For the past 15 years, Edmeades has made extensive trips to live with the Hadza of Tanzania, one of the few remaining hunter-gatherer societies. His deep immersion and the insights gained from these unique experiences have significantly informed his work with WILDFIT and in crafting The Evolution Gap. Throughout his multifaceted career, Edmeades has exhibited an entrepreneurial spirit by founding or purchasing several businesses across diverse sectors, including mobile computing, medical simulation, and Hollywood special effects where he contributed to blockbuster films including Avatar, Transformers, Iron Man, and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Edmeades was awarded the Senate 150 Medal by the Canadian Senate, recognizing his considerable contributions to 'improving the quality of life' for many. His compelling storytelling, compassionate perspective, and pioneering methodologies have elevated him as amuch-sought-after voice in global conversations about health, motivation, and personal achievement.

This week we're diving headfirst into the real-world impact of political extremism. From protests to policy, we dissect how radical ideologies are shaking the foundations of our society. Hold on tight as we navigate through the tumultuous waters of Steven Guilbeault's bold proposal to halt investments in road infrastructure. It's a move that could reshape how we travel and trade - we break down the potential repercussions and the debate surrounding this controversial stance. Shifting gears, we uncover the NDP's daring push to make advertising illegal for oil companies. This aggressive move sparks a heated debate about the intersection of politics, corporate influence, and environmental activism. In a jaw-dropping revelation, we delve into the mysterious disappearance of 1700 emails in the ArriveCAN investigation. What do these missing messages mean for public trust, accountability, and the future of digital border security? As we mark the anniversary of the Freedom Convoy, we reflect on the events that transpired and the lasting impact on Canadian politics and public discourse. It's a journey through the echoes of a protest that made headlines around the world. And don't blink, because we're zooming in on local politics, where the pulse of communities beats strong. From city halls to neighbourhood dynamics, we'll shed light on the unsung stories shaping our daily lives. 0:00 - Intro 7:40 - Follow up on Canadian Press Story about Cons giving $120M to Mainstream Media 17:34 - Steven Guilbeault Wants to Stop Investing in Road Infrastructure  26:40 - Carbon Tax has not lowered Canadian Emissions 39:10 - Gov't House Leader Gets Grilled over Carbon Tax 48:00 - NDP want to make advertising for oil companies illegal 52:58 - ArriveCan Investigation HEATS UP 01:02:00 - Freedom Convoy 01:08:48 - Trump Sued $355M 01:18:05 - Canadian Senate looks to Restrict Adult Content Online 01:24:03 - Seraphina Fights to Get Better at Singing

When a lot of us think about psychedelics, we think about magic mushrooms - and hallucinatory drug trips.  But the concept of psychedelics as a tool in therapy is  making its way into the mainstream. Online stores have popped up selling psilocybin capsules promising to boost focus. And on a more official front, the Canadian Senate recently recommended  fast-tracking research into how psychedelics can help veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).  But research also suggests psychedelics - including psilocybin ("magic mushrooms") and MDMA - can help heal racial trauma. In today's episode, Vinita speaks to clinical psychologist and University of Ottawa psychology professor Monnica Williams, about how psychedelic-assisted therapy can help with those dealing with this type of trauma, which usually encompasses ongoing experiences of what Williams calls "insults to your person." But it doesn't end there: With racial trauma, Williams says, therapists are also looking at events beyond an individual's lifetime such as "historical trauma, that may have happened decades or even centuries ago, that is still associated with the person's cultural group."  And while psychedelics show incredible promise in treating this type of trauma, many challenges remain. Part of it has to do with legalization and the lack of clinical trials. Another part has to do with the terrible track record institutions have when it comes to communities of colour and drugs. There is a long and ugly history of using Black and racialized bodies without consent for medical experimentation, including drug testing. And we can't ignore the racial roots of the war on drugs and the devastating impact it had - and continues to have - on Black and racialized communities.  Williams tackles these hurdles in her work.  And in this episode, she shares her thoughts about how we can open up the healing properties of psychedelics to racialized people  in need in a way that works with them, rather than against them.

When it came time to choose the first woman to sit in the Canadian Senate, Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King chose a relatively unknown woman named Cairine Wilson. She would become a thorn in his side as she pushed for a more just Canada, where people are welcomed at the border to start a better life no matter their background, race, or religion.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Athletic Greens, and BiOptimizers.For many of us, growing up we were told that eating foods high in fat is bad for you.

We also don't hear enough about insulin resistance as a main driver of cardiovascular disease.

Leo was appointed to the Canadian Senate by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, in 2008.Leo is Chair of the Standing Senate Committee on Transport and Communications, which is overseeing Bill C-11, a very controversial act that will grant the federal government overreaching power and control over the online content that Canadians consume.We talk in great detail about the concerns of Bill C-11, and the impacts it would have on Canadians, as well as the following other topics:- The reasons why C-11 is flawed and dangerous for all Canadians- Dangers of censoring voices with C-11- Why government leaders are purposely creating more division between Canadians- The $54 million ArriveCan disaster, and wasted spending in government- Why it's time for new leadership in CanadaFollow Senator Leo Housakos on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SenatorHousakos

Today I have the pleasure of having freelance writer and journalist, Meghan Murphy on the show.  Meghan has a master's degree in the department of Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies at Simon Fraser University, and has been writing about feminism since 2010.  Known for going against the grain, she was the first to publish a critique of Slutwalk, back in 2011, and was one of the only popular feminist bloggers to publicly articulate both a radical feminist and socialist position against the sex industry. Meghan's critiques of third wave feminism, burlesque, self-objectification in selfies, gender identity politics, and choice feminism have brought both acclaim and attacks, but most of all recognition as a writer who isn't afraid to say something different, despite what progressive and mainstream media deem to be the party line. Meghan has spoken around the world about the issue of gender identity legislation and women's rights, including at the Canadian Senate and Scottish Parliament. Meghan was also featured in our documentary film Trans mission: What's the Rush to Reassign Gender.Most recently, Meghan is the is the founder and editor of Feminist Current, Canada's leading feminist website where you can find a unique perspective on gender, women's rights and many other issues that are often underrepresented or misrepresented by mainstream, progressive, and feminist media sources. Currently, Meghan is working on a book project of her own, which takes a critical look at third wave feminism. Today we talk with Meghan about her work and her views related to trans ideology and feminism.

Nina's Books The Big Fat Surprise - Nina Teicholz Nina's Top Tips If you are looking at a study and it says “linked to” or “maybe connected to” that is a headline or study to just turn the page and move on. There is a lot of discussion from doctors about higher protein, in a low carb diet with combined with high intensity interval training (HIIT) and/or weight lifting. Wearing a constant glucose monitor (CGM) is one of the most illuminating ways to understand how your body responds to carbohydrates. Resources Mentioned Nina's Substack Quotes by Nina Teicholz “I found myself inexplicably losing weight.” “How we could have lived so long with this giant mass of misinformation.” “How did they become so settled, how can it be that they are wrong or mostly wrong because there are so many checks in place in science. How is it that nobody stood up and stopped this massive flood of misinformation along the way.” “I had to be convinced by the evidence first and that took me a while.” “It is not easy to be a questioner, somebody who is challenging the quite conventional wisdom all around them, all the time. That is not a comfortable place to be.” “How is it possible that I could be right and all these experts be wrong?” “The guidelines are their vehicle for ensuring their products are sold and consumed and they truly own this space.” “So many people are sick and suffering. They are not getting good advice. Then they are being blamed for failing at the bad advice.” “It is the role of science to have respectful disagreement.” “In the US, $800 billion in feeding programs all depend on the guidelines.” “I don't seen any nutrition journalist who is doing what journalists in every other area of enquiry do which is to follow the money.” Connect with Nina Teicholz on social media Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigfatsurprise Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/NinaTeicholz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ninateicholz/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninateicholz/ Website Details: https://ninateicholz.com https://unsettledscience.substack.com https://www.nutritioncoalition.us If you have enjoyed listening to this episode - Leave us a review By leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform, you help us to be found by others.

This episode is brought to you by Gut Food, Athletic Greens, and Rupa Health. We are living in a time unlike any before. For multiple reasons, we are now unable to get optimal amounts of all of the nutrients we need to function the way we were designed to.

In today's episode, I talk with Dhru Purohit, Dr. Elizabeth Boham, and Dr. James DiNicolantonio about why our modern diet and lifestyle are leaving us nutritionally deficient, the benefits of supplementation, and the importance of adequate magnesium levels.

Khaled Barakat is a Palestinian-Canadian activist and writer, currently based in Vancouver, who was recently subjected to a media and political campaign aimed at silencing him and those fighting for Palestinian rights in Canada. Attempts to criminalize Barakat originated in an article published in the right-wing newspaper The National Post, and quickly became subject of debate in the Canadian Senate, with a conservative senator going so far as to asking the government to expel Barakat, a Canadian citizen, from the country. The campaign against Khaled Barakat is one of many smear campaigns being launched against pro-Palestinian voices, a phenomenon that seems to be increasing nowadays. Security in Context is a podcast project from the research network of the same name, aimed at promoting new thinking on security from a global perspective. The Security in Context podcast features discussions about key questions on peace and conflict, the political economy of security and insecurity, militarism, and geopolitics particularly as they intersect with the processes of climate change, population movement, and the reorganization of global powers. In order to delve into these topics, we interview writers, researchers, activists and professionals from inside and outside the Security in Context network. Our ultimate goal is to provide a critical representation of security related issues, paying special attention to the Global South, often misrepresented in mainstream media coverage.
