It's another edition of the Midday Healthwatch, our monthly conversations about public health with Dr. Leana Wen. Today, Tom will be talking with Dr. Wen about the latest health news from Maryland. The state's COVID-19 Dashboard was moved to the Maryland Department of Health's main website. The state COVID Alert system is set to end Tuesday, May 9, while the federal state of emergency comes to an end on May 11. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization is keeping its eye on a new variant of COVID. Who should get a second bivalent booster, and will it be effective against this latest iteration? We'll also talk to Dr. Wen about the deepening fentanyl crisis, and what we need to know about recreational marijuana. Plus, Baltimore is looking for a new health commissioner. The current head of the health department, Dr. Letitia Dzirasa, is leaving her post to become the interim Deputy Mayor for Equity Health and human services. Dr. Wen was the city's health commissioner from 2014 to 2018. We'll talk about the skills an effective leader in that job needs. Dr. Leana Wen joins host Tom Hall on Zoom. Dr. Wen is one of America's most trusted and knowledgeable public health experts, and she has been a regular guest on our show since her time as the Baltimore City Health Commissioner, from 2015-2018. Today, the emergency physician is a research professor of health policy and management at the George Washington University's Milken Institute School of Public Health. She's a columnist for the Washington Post, a medical analyst for CNN, and a non-resident senior fellow at The Brookings Institution. And she's the author of Lifelines: A Doctor's Journey in the Fight for Public Health.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: A lot of news today for Scott to sink his teeth into, not least of all is the lifting of vaccine mandates for Canadian travelers domestically and internationally. About time, Scott says. As well, with the controversy surrounding a Canadian official's attendance at a Russia Day celebration held in Ottawa at the Russian embassy, we now ask: is it time to cut ties with Russia? If so, how do we go about it? Professor Aurel Braun speaks with Scott about that. McMaster researchers behind a new form of rapid, accurate and portable diagnostic test are moving their work toward the marketplace. This could expedite diagnosis and prescription to a single visit and reduce overall spread of transmissible diseases. Leyla Soleymani, engineer at McMaster who helped develop the system answers Scott's burning questions. Remember the COVID alert app the feds made? Well its time is officially up. Was it a good app? Did it succeed in its mission? As with all things tech, Scott speaks with Carmi Levy, tech analyst. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast. Guests: Janet MacLeod, Communauto Branch Manager: South-West Ontario. Leyla Soleymani, McMaster engineer who helped develop the test system.

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson... Today on Hamilton Today! We look at what has become of the COVID Alert app and what can be learned from its decline. In Ontario and across Canada, trust is declining. Brian J. Karem gives us the U.S. view of the protest in Ottawa, as well as the spread of plans for similar protests outside of Canada. The psychology of the vaccination campaign and the associated backlash is examined. Tim Powers weighs in on MP Joël Lightbound breaking rank with the Prime Minister. Scott talked with the Mayor of Windsor, Ontario about the Ambassador Bridge blockade, and Professor Ian Lee discussed the economic impact of the protests. There has been a rise in Canadians seeking out mental health support, and Scott found out more about this from the CEO of CMHA Hamilton. Professor Thomas Tenkate addressed what it means for Ontarians to have access to free rapid antigen tests in some grocery stores, and Professor Peter Graefe shared his insight on the political impact of these tests, as well as what the protests mean for Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

The triangle between Neil Young, Joe Rogan and Spotify has one less side after Young pulled his music catalog from the popular streaming service after a dispute about pandemic related content on its podcasts. But what do boycotts really accomplish? Is the "Spotify Exodus" going to achieve its goals or is it just a lot of noise? We also look at whether Canada's COVID Alert app was worth the money — or a digital bust set to join the legion of other apps you never open or use on your smartphone. And in a look back, we revisit an earlier story about the trend of "pay what you can" stores. Why pay anything, if you can get away with paying nothing? You'd be surprised what people are willing to shell out.

Episode SummaryThis episode was recorded at the tail end of the third major COVID lockdown in Ontario, Canada, and while other parts of Canada were also still under lockdown. This episode focuses on the ever increasing loss of liberty that is sweeping Canada as a result of continued COVID mania. We document how COVID has been used to justify suspension of the democratic process, increased surveillance, and the silencing and censoring of those in the Canadian medical establishment who dissent from the accepted narrative. Particular attention is given to the persecution of pastors, including James Coates, Arthur Pawlowski, Tim Stephens and Tobias Tissen. Finally, we discuss statements by medical experts Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Michael Yeadon, who suggest concerning theories about the endgame of this COVID madness, and we draw parallels to actual events that unfolded during WWII.Episode Timeline & Notes0:00:32 - Opening SegmentTwitter | "Trudeau describes the euphoria of getting a COVID vaccine, tells Canadians to shame their “crusty uncle who resists” into getting their shots.Trudeau gushes about receiving vaccine: ‘Getting that shot really was an amazing feeling' | LifesitenewsAre your parents hesitant to get the COVID-19 vaccine?

The Government has revealed its plans to ban conversion therapy by early 2022 "at the latest".The legislation is almost certain to pass because it has the support of Labour, Greens and National.But the Green Party is claiming today's announcement by the Government as a win, as the rainbow spokeswoman Elizabeth Kerekere said the timeline was due to the pressure of a 150,000-strong petition, calling for urgency in banning the harmful practice.Minister of Justice Kris Faafoi on Monday said the Government planned to bring legislation to Parliament by the middle of the year, which would see conversion therapy outlawed by the end of this year, or by February 2022.Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern had said earlier this month that the legislation would be before Parliament this year, but she provided no timeline.Kerekere said it was the petition that had put pressure on the Government to bring forward the process of banning conversion therapy."Waiting until the end of the year to introduce legislation was never acceptable."She said the Greens were still being contacted by people who believed the process should begin even sooner, but the party were "very, very happy" to see the process brought forward by six months."In the time it takes to pass law, that timeline would have meant the practice was legal right up until late 2022 ... two more years of torture for our rainbow community that was entirely avoidable."She said the timeframe was important in order to send a clear message to the rainbow community of New Zealand."So often people say we support the community… and then the Government gets in and nothing happens," she said."There is a relief that people can feel to see that there's a set time."Conversion therapy is based on a belief that people with diverse sexual orientations or gender identities are abnormal and should be changed so they fit within hetero-normative standards.Kerekere said conversion therapies were also practised within other communities, such as in the disabled community, and were hoping to work with the disability sector to ensure their voices were also heard."I have made it clear to Labour that I am available to help make this the best law possible. I look forward to working with them on this issue."Faafoi said the Government dealing with conversion therapy in its first year clearly showed it was a priority for them.It was also in Labour's 2020 election manifesto.Faafoi described conversion therapy as "cruel and damaging practices" which could lead to "coercion and mental abuse" in the misguided view that a person sexual orientation or gender identity needed to be "cured".He said there was no medical basis for conversion practices and on the contrary they could cause "real and lasting damage".The Ministry of Justice was working to draw up law creating a new offence prohibiting the practice, which would involve defining conversion therapy and determining whether it would be regulated by civil law as well as criminal law.There would be opportunities for public submission and scrutiny throughout the committee process.text by Sophie Trigger, NZ Herald

"We fight for that" - is the new podcast from the Public Interest Advocacy Centre (PIAC) focussing on consumer protection in Canada.  This first episode includes an introduction to PIAC, asking and answering why you, as a Canadian consumer, keep asking "Am I Going Crazy?" when you have a problem with your purchases and subscriptions; and a detailed explanation of PIAC's COVID Alert app CRTC Application, that seeks to limit government access to any personal information from contact-tracing in Canada.  Our last segment, which we hope will be fun, is "I told you so!" - where we call out government, regulators, the industry or even ourselves, when someone should have known better (and we already told them so).  This week: the freight-train wreck that is the CRTC and wireless companies' efforts to stamp out "SIM-swap fraud" in cellphone number porting.  Why not just hold a public hearing where real consumers could help make sure the process of changing from one cellphone to another is easy and quick, but also that fraudsters cannot pretend to be you, take over your phone account, and steal your money? Why take the very people - consumers - out of the debate over the security of their most important device, their cellphone? C'mon CRTC - hold a public hearing - it's not just PIAC but also a Parliamentary Committee that wants one.
