Podcasts about Dufferin

Maybe you don't remember, or want to remember, but it was this time five years ago that the world closed down as COVID-19 became so virulent that it required us to be sequestered for months or else keep six feet apart while wearing a mask or other PPE. Many of us have memory-holed those events, some have re-written it as an overreaction or, even worse than that, a conspiracy, but perhaps the time has come to face our trauma about the pandemic. Here are some of the headlines from the March 20, 2020 edition of the Guelph Politico Tip Sheet newsletter: “All City of Guelph facilities are now closed to the public including City Hall", “The two remaining city council meetings for March have been cancelled”, and “The Guelph General Hospital, as well as other area hospitals, have initiated more stringent measures on who can visit the hospital and when”. There was a lot going on, and no one knew how it was all going to shake out in the end. It may not seem like it, but on this fifth anniversary of the pandemic, COVID-19 is still around. Even once diligent maskers don't mask anymore, even when they're sick, fewer people are getting their booster shots, and when you talk to people about their pandemic memories it's about how we took it too seriously and spent too much in response. Is that how you remember it? What should we be thinking about following our COVID experience now half-a-decade later? The perfect guest to answer these and similar questions is Dr. Nicola Mercer, who is the Medical Officer of Health for Wellington, Dufferin, and Guelph. She's going to talk about the warning signs she saw in advance, what she and Public Health got right about the pandemic response, and what she thinks they might have done better in hindsight. We will also talk about the lessons learned, the current state of COVID-19, and how our experiences might inform the response to the next pandemic. So let's rewind to 2020 on this week's Guelph Politicast!

Registered Nurse Michelle Marr works for Headwaters Healthcare Centre in Orangeville as a Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT) Nurse in partnership with Dufferin OPP Officers.  Michelle joins 10-5 The Official Podcast of the OPP Association to discuss the success of the Dufferin MCRT program and assert her wish for sustainable funding.  Dufferin County has one of the highest call volumes for mental health calls in Ontario. The Dufferin MCRT have not been able to deal with all of the calls due to not having 24/7 coverage. The Dufferin MCRT have dealt with 600 calls and made 1539 referrals in the first 11 months of 2024, reducing significantly the number of hospital visits for people experiencing mental health crisis. This not only helps members of the public, it helps to prioritize hospital emergency resources, as well as valuable police resources who traditionally have to remain at hospital with persons apprehended under the Mental Health Act. If you wish to contact Michelle or have an idea for future episodes, please email communications@oppa.ca.Music – “Line of Fire” by Jason Shaw available at Audionautix.com and used under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0  The OPP Association is the sole bargaining agent for the close to 10,000 members of the Ontario Provincial Police in Canada.

OPP Provincial Constable James Giovannetti discusses the Dufferin Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT) on 10-5 The Official Podcast of the OPP Association.  When MCRT deals with a mental health call, the patient is transported to hospital less than 7% of the time.  If the team does take a patient to hospital, the process is streamlined quickly, freeing up the police officer and nurse team to be available for other calls. The nurses working on the team are able to get the patients into the mental health system efficiently, which takes workload off Emergency Room nurses.  In 2023, through the partnership of the MCRT with the local hospital, wait times in the ER have been reduced, despite the number of calls for mental heath rising. Inquiries about this podcast episode or ideas for future episodes can be directed by email to communications@oppa.ca.Music – “Line of Fire” by Jason Shaw available at Audionautix.com and used under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 The OPP Association is the sole bargaining agent for the close to 10,000 members of the Ontario Provincial Police in Canada.

They are going to get into some Sky Diggers talk in this conversation, no doubt. So let's listen to their version or rendition of Depression Suite before we head into the interview with Mr. Finlayson. See you on the other side.Track 7:[5:27] Welcome everyone to a very special episode of Discovering Downey. My name is Kirk Lane and I'm going to be here with our good buddies Justin St. Louis and Craig out in Vancouver. We're really excited today to have a very special guest, Mr. Josh Van Laysen from, well, from the Sky Diggers, I think is well most of you will know him from. But in regards to this adventure, Josh was very involved with several of Gord's solo albums that we have been discussing here on the pod. And uh we're just really excited to have him on board and just really talk about the his musical journey and and then obviously how it relates with his experience with with gourd solo projects not only with the recorded albums but also from a live perspective so um we've got lots of uh interesting topics and things we want to talk about and we're really thankful that he took took some time to join us today so welcome josh.Track 5:[6:28] Thank you thanks for having me yeah.Track 7:[6:31] I mean i guess i want to start with something that was recent and you had a pretty uh looked like a pretty good bill recently in a gig in toronto with uh with with your band the sky diggers and the sadies and paul and was band so i i think the group would love to hear a little bit about how that that went and and some of the other shows that you guys have been able to do together.Track 5:[6:54] Well we uh we um we played at a venue in toronto called the concert hall which is which is a venue that it's a it's actually a masonic hall and was built i'm not sure when i'm i'm assuming probably, late 1800s early 1900s it's right it's very close to young young and bluer um it's right downtown but it was used as a venue uh in the 60s um it was uh it wasn't the concert hall at that point it was called uh something else it just escapes me right now but i know led zeppelin played there like early days one of their first uh shows in toronto and many other acts you know like it's a pretty storied venue I saw I saw the stray cats there I saw it admit like that would have been 1982 Wow I know the the English beat played there the jam REM like tons of bands played there in the in the 80s and into the 90s there was the the hip did a.Track 5:[8:09] I think at the end of the Up to Here tour, they did a show there. And then they did three shows at the beginning of Road Apples. And I remember those shows. I was at at least two of them. And they were amazing shows, very memorable.Track 5:[8:30] And we actually had a show scheduled there in 1995 and had to postpone it. But it's a long story, but we had to reschedule it. And then it closed for a long time. It stopped. It was actually leased by a television station up here, and they filmed live television events there. So it stopped being a venue. And it just reopened, I think, in the fall of last year. And a friend of ours is booking the room. And so we thought it would be great to play there. It's about a 1,200-seat room. It's not huge, but it's a very cool room. And so we asked Paul Langlois, who we'd done four or five shows with in March and April of this year, shows that had been rescheduled in the fall. He fell and broke.Track 5:[9:28] A few ribs in the fall um and then we also asked the sadies to join us and the sadies are, uh old friends as well so it was a it was a very special night it's a great venue it was uh it's a lot of fun it's a great sounding venue it looks great and uh we did a bunch of collaborations as we had done with paul and uh i you know we've known the sadies for since they started actually Actually, I met Travis and got to know Travis when he was playing with his dad's band, the Good Brothers, in the early 90s. When this guy Deere started playing, we did some shows with the Good Brothers. And that's how I got to know Travis before he joined his brother Dallas in the 80s with Sean Dean and Mike Belitsky. And yeah, so that's kind of the background of that. I did lots of collaborations with the 80s and with Paul.Track 7:[10:22] We did.Track 5:[10:23] Some hip songs we uh did some covers uh yeah it was fun good night i.Track 7:[10:29] I really love seeing uh as we've gone through this like the connection that many of the canadian bands have and and the the gigs they do together and then the projects that they do together and and i that's been really great to me to see that community and uh i mean i guess you see it a little down down here in the States, but not to the extent that I think you guys have been doing it. And it's been really exciting to see all that and be a part of that. Let's go back to the beginning and you and your musical journey. If you wanna give us just a bit of a history, like when you started out, what really got you into music? And then talk to us a little bit about, as you'd mentioned, many of the other bands that you've been a part of, The Hip and Gord, and how that relationship formed.Track 5:[11:18] Um okay well i i was born and raised in toronto i'm the youngest of three boys um and everyone in my family played music uh and my i have two older brothers um my eldest brother's a music teacher he was a classical guitar player uh and my middle brother was uh he played piano at a pretty high level so i was and my mom played piano my dad played a little bit but had a very eclectic and very cool record collection uh so there's always music around and uh that was a big part of my uh you know i don't think i really understood at the time how enriching that experience was like it was just always around um and because my older brothers played i i just assume that anyone could play, you know what I mean? It was almost a strange thing. It's like sports a little bit. When you're the younger brother, you're always trying to keep up and, you know, you just, you think any idiot can do it because if they can do it, you can do it. So, um, I think I had this sense of, uh.Track 5:[12:30] There's a bit of fearlessness in it and it sort of coincided with an era of I'm 60 years old so you know I was in high school in the late 70s and finished high school in 1982 so I kind of came out up through that post-punk punk and post-punk era of music where it was all very DIY and people you know started bands as I did just joining them you You didn't have to play all that well.Track 5:[13:03] You just had to think you were playing well. And that was a good start. So, you know, I played in various outfits and eventually got recruited at the end of my high school year. At that time, Ontario still had a grade 13.Track 5:[13:24] And so in that year, a friend of mine, he was a musician that had played in a band that was kind of popular in our high school. And he had that band had uh uh ended and he kind of recruited me he said i want you to play bass in this band and uh i thought okay i mean i would i'd have just played guitar i'd never played bass but i thought sure i'll give it a whirl and that was sort of at the end of it was april of um, of the final year of school we started doing a bunch of gigs and kind of had this a bit of a built-in audience because he had he had been doing it for a while and we made a plan to the following fall of 1982 uh to uh move over to london england and you know have uh uh see what our uh see if we could find any luck doing that uh and uh and in fact i was just talking about at the concert hall we we did a show in the fall in i think october of 1982 which gave us the money to buy our plane texas to move over to uh to london and uh oh wow nice years and uh.Track 5:[14:41] You know that was an experience unto itself i said you know i was there for a couple of years it was you know like uh we ended up in brixton which was a which was a pretty uh rough part of town there have been a lot of riots there and race riots and um it was but over in the uk you can and a lot of europe you can squat which is basically paying no rent uh and uh so we did that we found a way to exist on very little money you know uh and stayed there and it was a great education you know i always refer to it as my university education really it was a good life education and a good musical one too um i lived it was all a lot of it was west indian uh and i lived above uh the squad i lived in was uh right above this great record store called desmond's hip city which ultimately became one of our our recordings and the song is about that not experienced living in Brixton with this band.Track 5:[15:49] And that sort of ran its course. When I moved back, I had heard about a mutual friend who I didn't know, but we had a mutual friend and this would have been 1985. He, was he was putting together his own home studio and in 1985 that was unusual you know like studios were still fairly um difficult to it was it was expensive to record it was uh but he had a he had an i think a half inch 16 track uh machine and he worked in a music store and he had he had a big uh you know a big plan to start a record label and it was all very cool and i thought well you know i'd like to do this i had done a bit of recording in the uk and um you know i knew that that was sort of the way forward with any anything so i i when i came back to canada to toronto i uh.Track 5:[16:50] Um you know i connected with him we rented a house and built a studio in the house and i mean And truthfully, we smoked a huge amount of marijuana, and I don't know, I spent a lot of time looking for the tape measure, as I recall. But we did, as a carpenter, I make a good musician, so I wouldn't be misleading you if I was trying to tell you that the studio we built had anything to do with me. But out of that experience, Andy Mays, who I grew up with, who's the singer and this guy, he and I reconnected. He had played in a band. He's a few years older than I am, but he played in a band and we had done some shows with him before we moved over to London. And we started hanging out and playing and playing with Wayne Stokes, who was the guy that owned the studio. Wayne drummed on our first couple of records before he left the band. And uh and that was really you know that was from sort of 86 to about uh 88 1988 we we started the band um and we did a residency in toronto a weekly monday night residency which eventually led to our, our first record deal with enigma records which was based in culver city in la just as It's, you know, part of L.A.Track 5:[18:18] And that record had a song on it called I Will Give You Everything, which kind of launched us into, you know, into having a career. And, you know, it's still a song that has been good to us. You know, like it's been used in lots of movies, and it's still a song people want to hear, and still a song I love playing. From there, when our first record came out, we did some shows with many bands, but one of which was The Hip.Track 5:[18:52] Uh we're i was just saying this the shows we did with paul we went back and forth introducing, paul's band and he would introduce us and uh and we were our last show with him was in ottawa, and uh our first show our first tour with the hip the first shows with the airport in montreal and Ottawa and that was 1990 1990 uh and that was 34 years ago and that was the first time we met and at that time uh Paul and Gord Downey were living in Toronto so you know they were they were just that was the tail end up to here and they were playing you know bigger rooms you know like and they had up to here sort of raised them up they often I think refer to that as their first record they had an EP before that.Track 5:[19:50] But that was I think they felt that was their first real offering as a recording and at the end of that tour we did with them they went in down to New Orleans and recorded.Track 5:[20:04] Road Apples and you know Gord and I at that, you know, and Paul, I mean, we all became friends and Gord and I in particular kind of hit it off and, you know, for whatever reason, as you do with, with friends and we, uh, you know, we kept in touch and those days we used to write letters to, uh, before email and, uh, texting. Um, and then Paul eventually a couple of years later moved back to Kingston and Gord stayed in Toronto and that was uh but we were both bands we were busy you know we were touring uh working musicians and not around a lot uh so you know our our time together was limited uh but but always uh great and and eventually led up to what became Coke Machine Shinglo, which, you know, there's sort of a story in that too. He, he wanted, we were looking to do, find a way to do a project together. Um, but the reality is that he, he had written a bunch of songs and the, and the hip, you know, they wrote as a collective, especially in those days. And, and that changed eventually Gord wrote more on his own and, um, and brought songs in and then he would write with them. It did evolve.Track 5:[21:27] And so he had written most of the songs from Coke Machine Glow he had written on his own. And eventually, he just decided, yeah, I should just make a record. And I think part of it was also.Track 5:[21:46] Besides myself, he didn't know a lot of musicians in Toronto, you know, because he was away a lot. He had a young family at that sort of by the mid, his daughter, Will, was born, I think around 96, 95. And so, you know, when he was home, you know, that was obviously a big part of his life. And I think he wanted to connect with the artistic community in Toronto. And Coke Machine Glow became the opportunity for him to do that. Which is why it's a pretty eclectic record eclectic musicians there's and he also wanted to explore the spoken word stuff which is a part of that record and and the uh uh and battle of the nudes as well it was sort of extended into that uh that record so um yeah i don't know that sort of gives you a bit of a an overview yeah.Track 7:[22:41] No we appreciate that and you know we just recently Obviously, having discussions on each of the albums, Coke Machine Glow specifically, it was such a discussion. We actually had to split up our discussion into two parts because there was so much to talk about. And again, because it was good for us to really take that in as that first offering from Gord and his solo effort. You have a producer credit on on that particular album and and the next one and then and then as mentioned I think as we go into the grand bounce that was Chris talk to us a little bit about that process and and and working with Gord and and how uh how that process went from either writing or recording or or things of that nature definitely we had our own discussions about it but it would It would be great to hear directly from the source on how some of that came about.Track 5:[23:41] Well... You know initially we were you know that we were trying to find a way into make a making a collaborative record but you know he had written these songs and um and at some point it was just like you know what like you should just do a solo record um because these.Track 5:[24:01] Songs he knew that uh they weren't going to be used in the in the hip and not because they weren't good songs but because their process was very much as a collective they would write songs together that was their that was how they did it gourd at that point uh gourd was pretty much writing all the words and uh um and they were they were you know playing they they would come up with the music and they that was just their process and um so you know we had these songs and and eventually it just became apparent that we should we should make uh the record and so we had he had had this cool little home studio set up you know this is 10 years after what i was talking about earlier and it was a like a digital i think it was a d80 da88 machine and a little board and so we were recording on that and um and then you know but realizing that neither of us were particularly good engineers and the hip had just mixed their record trouble at the hen house and I think Stephen Drake mixed that record and and he's a terrific talented mixer and a great musician and so Gord.Track 5:[25:24] Gord thought, you know, maybe we should get Stephen to engineer the session and the three of us will operate as co-producers.Track 5:[25:34] And which is what happened. So Stephen ended up coming and Gord really wanted to make the record in Toronto. Again, it was the sense of I'm living here. I've lived here for, I mean, at that point, it was probably over 10 years. Um and he had you know he had his his group of friends uh and artistic friends had grown just through meeting through you know through the hip but he thought you know if i if i do this project i can include them and i can uh um you know just sort of put down some roots in that in this community because at that point you know his creative outlet was the band and he would typically go to Kingston to to write songs and or to record and obviously all the road work they were doing so it was a you know at the time it was an attempt for him to put some roots down in in the city with other artists and other collaborators Gord was a very.Track 5:[26:44] Ambitious creatively is very ambitious and very always looking to evolve always looking to grow and and be influenced and inspired by other people so on that record you know we went in um you know the the idea was uh like initially it it uh the band was kevin hearn was there for kevin had just um he he just had leukemia and he had just he had like a bone marrow transplant and he was just in the recovering stage of that um and i'd met kevin before that but but you know um so but he was only available for a few days because he was going out with uh bare-necked ladies they were uh he was just joining back into the band and going out on tour um and uh.Track 5:[27:55] Don Kerr owned the studio with Dale Morningstar that we recorded at. It was called the gas station. And it was this cool old warehouse building down around King and Dufferin. It was on the top floor, all these open windows, really great view of the city. It's sort of looking south towards the lake through the exhibition in Toronto. And it just had a great vibe to it. And and don played a lot with ron sexsmith and ron was just about to make a record with steve earl in nashville his uh i think the record was blue boy and steve really wanted uh don to play on the record and to sing on it because he had seen don he's seen ron and don was playing with him and he loved their singing together and he loved his playing and a lot of ron's records at that point had been done in L.A.Track 5:[28:57] And their bands were put together for them. They're great sounding records, but Steve wanted Don to play on this record. So Don was only available the first couple of days, as was Kevin. And then Dave Clark, who at that point had played in the Rheostatics and left, was asked to come in and do the drumming. And Dale was just sort of around the studio to help as the assistant engineer, but he ended up playing on most of it. And then Julie Dwaran was asked to come and play on the record. She had sung on a number of hip songs and played in a band called Eric's Trip, who the hip had toured with.Track 5:[29:45] And then there was all these, like Travis Good played on the record. Travis at this point, I was talking about him. We had become good friends and he's a great musician and I thought, well, I want to invite Travis. And Gord, that's when he first met him. So this would have been 1999. As you know, the Sadies went on to make a record and do some touring with Gord as well. And they were very tight. And Travis played on Away Is Mine, the last record that Gord did that I, you know, we wrote together, um, and recorded at the bathhouse. Um, and so, and I, and then there was Adam McGaughan, who's a filmmaker who Gord had met, you know, really through the hip, but, you know, through, uh, maybe he used some hip song in a, in a movie. I can't remember the, uh, um, the connection, but he can.Track 4:[30:38] Yeah. Courage was used in the suite her after by Sarah Polly saying it.Track 5:[30:45] Right, okay. So, you know, he's another Toronto artist and Gord had met him. And so, you know, one of the, one of the, these sort of agendas of Coke Machine Glow and when it was trying to find a way to get into it because the, you know, Gord also released a book of poetry with Coke Machine Glow, but he wanted, he wanted to find a way to do spoken word stuff, which he had done. Yeah, you got it. He had done, you know, often at hip shows he was doing. He did a lot of those, like I know at Woodstock, someone was telling me all that was televised and he was reciting a lot of the Coke Machine Glow poems and a lot of the songs throughout pieces of, you know, instrumentals or whatever through that live show, as he was doing throughout that tour, I'm sure. And so he wanted to find a way to make the leap where he could do the spoken word stuff but you know of course the biggest potential obstacle was that it would be pretentious sounding so that was sort of the way that's that was this challenge.Track 5:[32:08] A couple of things ended up happening. One was that Adam Egoyan, who was a classical guitar player, when he grew up, he played classical guitar. So he brought down his classical guitar, and Gord asked him to just come up with some music, like pieces, little instrumental pieces. So he started playing, and the rest of us started improvising around those pieces. And Gord either would do the spoken word stuff.Track 5:[32:39] With us or we would find sort of this cool little section where it was it was just working and then he would use it and do do the spoken stuff the word stuff over that there was also a couple of there's a great I think it's I think it's the first first song on the record is accordion and pump organ and it's yarrow servinic who was the accordion player and the cowboy junkies and my neighbor uh at the time i invited him down and dale was playing the pump organ and um and it had it had this sort of uh, hinterlands who who kind of this funky weird kind of uh sound to it you know like it it uh and uh and it just somehow it worked you know like it was kind of charming and quirky and very much you know it was very much intended to be not it would have been a failure if it had been like a tragically hit record you know and you know because that would have you.Track 5:[33:52] They were doing that already, and Gord was doing that. This was an opportunity for him to expand his artistic palette, you know, and to challenge himself to be challenged, and challenge the other people around him. And so, you know, I think in that sense it was successful because it was very different. It was like a serious left turn. uh and i think you know from my memory people's reaction to it was like wow i didn't expect this and it's not it's not like the tragically hip which it wasn't and it wasn't meant to be um and i think it you know for a lot of hip fans it was like a real curiosity head scratcher and i think for people that weren't necessarily hip fans it was like wow i didn't expect this from gourd and it's cool and it's different and uh so you know it wasn't uh and really we just in the end we we uh we didn't we mostly toured in the states i think we maybe did one show in canada on that record um and uh and that was cool too because we were playing in a lot of smaller venues and it was a pretty eclectic band and it was a lot of fun.Track 5:[35:18] And it led in fairly quickly to what became, because he had written more songs, and a lot of those songs ended up on Battle of the Nudes. And at that point, the gas station had moved over to Toronto Island into this artscape, into this cool artistic community. Coke Machine Glow was the last record that was made at the Gas Nation. And I think it was 10 days that we made it in.Track 4:[35:50] I'm curious how different the two recording sessions were between Coke Machine Glow and Battle of the Nudes. Because in my mind, they sound very similar in that they sound like a band jamming, whereas the first one sounds like it's a little more acoustic, stick whereas the second one's like a full-on full-on band a little more you know experience under your belt was the actual were the actual sessions quite different.Track 5:[36:15] Um well uh one of the things that happened with uh so the gas station was uh it had you know it was a studio but um it didn't it had decent gear but it didn't have great gear and so what ended up happening was At that point, the hip had started to accumulate gear for the bathhouse, which was their studio in Bath, Ontario. And he brought up, there was a knave board and a bunch of microphones that he brought up and used it as, and we used his DA-88 machine I mentioned earlier. So it was eight tracks. We had eight tracks to use. so you know we could put as many mics into those eight tracks as we wanted it but and it was recorded live and it was acoustic and part of that was that you know when he and i were working on those songs initially before steven got involved it was typically two acoustic guitars and gordon had a very unique rhythm you know he always said he dropped he he played he strummed guitar like a drummer you know but his time was good you know he had great time uh he just did not strum like most guitar players he just you know it was not and i think part of that was singing and you know his phrasing was very unique too so there's a lot of syncopation going on.Track 5:[37:45] And um so initially that process was me kind of playing a more conventional rhythm which just gave the two acoustic guitars this fuller, kind of richer, solid bass. And then when Don and Dave drummed, that gave us another type of foundation. And then Steve and Drake played bass for most of that record. He played other things, too. And I think I played bass maybe on a song or two, but maybe Julie Dwarne played bass on something. But that was kind of the way it went and Stephen recorded it he had this nice gear and we used the DA-88 machine and we did a few overdubs like Paul Langlois came and sang on two or three songs and.Track 5:[38:41] And so that was an overdub. Travis Good was an overdub. Man, there was a couple of others, but I don't remember. But by the time we did Battle of the Nudes, we had done a lot of shows. And at that point, I was playing half the show on bass. Stephen didn't play in the live band.Track 5:[39:02] Partially because he was in Vancouver and he was doing other stuff. It was more of a practical decision than anything from my memory. And uh and i played guitar and julie and i and then at that point john press who's often referred to as dr p had also joined the band and those guys the dinner is around dale john press and dave clark and then myself and julie and uh and gordon uh and we did we did a couple festivals that summer we played like the edmonton folk festival but most of the shows were down in the in the states um and then when we went and recorded uh the gas station and moved to a portable on toronto island an old school uh school portable i don't know if you guys are familiar with with that phenomenon but in ontario they used to have their like boxes and they would be i guess it was It's just at schools, instead of adding, putting additions on schools, they'd have these boxes that would, you know, you'd walk out to your portable, your classroom. It was like a, it was like a cabin, you know, for lack of a better word. Obviously, it had electricity.Track 5:[40:18] But that's where the gas station moved into. And Dale recorded that. He recorded, I'd say, half of that record and mixed half of it or a third of it. And we also went to the bathhouse and recorded the bathhouse at that point. And a bunch of it was mixed there as well. Again, I'd have to look at the credits to sort of know what was done. And, you know, Gord was very taken with Dale. Dale was a very unconventional musician and very eclectic.Track 5:[41:00] And Gord loved that. You know, he loved that. He was just so outside. And Dave Clark is also a real free spirit. And John Pratt is an excellent, excellent musician, but also a free spirit, you know. So it was just it was a very different energy and even for me like it was like wow what a this is a total fucking trip you know this band can you know anything can happen at any point in time and i think gordon liked that you know like it was just it was um unpredictable and fun and uh, and yeah i think it was just and not to say that it wasn't fun in the hip it was just different and And it was exploring a different part of who he could be and his songs and his creative process. You know, that was a big part of it. So I don't know, Craig, if that answers your question, but...Track 4:[41:57] Yeah, yeah. And did you find your role in the band evolved over the years? Watching some of the live videos on doing our research, I noticed, you know, maybe a bit of a shift to playing some more bass near the end. How did you feel about your role and how it changed?Track 5:[42:15] I mean, it was really more the bass became, you know, I mean, I had played bass often on Scottie's records and the band I moved to England with, I played bass in that band. So it was not an instrument that I was unfamiliar with. And I was pretty comfortable on it. and uh and julie and i would swap uh run those first two tours and really even all the tours like she would play bass on certain songs i'd play uh guitar there's certain songs on that we toured with on coke machine glow like something like vancouver divorce i played always played acoustic as it was gore playing you know there's this cool uh interplay of the two acoustic guitars this sort of galloping feel, and Julie played this great solid bass part in that song, and Trick Rider, stuff like that. I always played acoustic on those songs, but then from Battle of the Nudes, and certainly when we did the Grand Bounce, I played almost, I think I played only bass. I don't know that I played any guitar, except for maybe, uh, uh, hello again, my friend. I'm to see you again. The East wind.Track 4:[43:37] So speaking of that song, from what I can tell, I believe there's like five guitars on that track. Does that sound right?Track 5:[43:44] If not more. You know, like it was, yeah, when the band kicks in, yeah, it was like a guitar orchestra, as I recall. It was a ton of good. I think Gord had his kids in there playing acoustic guitar. Yeah, that was for sure. Sure. And when we did it live too, I think I started playing acoustic and then it was like the guy and Rick Nielsen and Cheap Trick, you know, started playing acoustic at the beginning and then I'd, you know, Billy Ray would grab the guitar and I'd start playing bass. It was a bit silly, really.Track 5:[44:24] So I think it did just sort of evolve, Greg, I guess, really. But, you know, um dr pete was a great place bass player julie was a great bass player it was really not you know it wasn't like i'm the bass player and you know like no one else could play it was just the way it i love playing bass with dave clark drumming like he was dave is he's got a great command of many feels and uh and it was a you know the band really evolved too and and you know When you talk about the production stuff, it was also a natural. When we started, it was really Gord and I and then bringing Stephen in. But it was all very collaborative. There was no one saying, you have to do this. Gord was not that type of person. I mean, he would like something or not like it. But he was not the kind of person that would say, we're doing it this way. That was not really his MO you know like he was more into discovering what something could be rather than laying out like.Track 5:[45:36] Here's the here's where you're doing that it wasn't it wasn't like that at all rarely i mean he might have an idea that he wants to chase down you would try and do that which is of course cool but he was very open to suggestions and pursuing things and uh um and the more outside often the better he was attracted to often the diamond in the rough too you know he could see something in an idea i often couldn't you know which i always admired you know like you could see there was something there and he would keep he would keep pursuing it um and he he was very dogged that way and very persistent so.Track 6:[46:19] It seemed like you know you keep mentioning evolution and the band and um it seemed like the band took on a more significant role than just gourd downy this This is Gord Downie's band. And the name changed from The Goddamn Band to Country of Miracles. And then that even became more prevalent with The Grand Bounce. So did you guys bring songs to him? Or was it?Track 5:[46:45] Well, certainly, again, the spoken word pieces were often collaborative pieces. But the bulk of the songs were his songs. He and I maybe worked on some stuff. and I might suggest stuff in other situations. Maybe there would have been a co-writing. But for me, it was just like, these are your songs. You should, you know, like, I don't.Track 5:[47:11] You know like the uh they're great you know and you it was it you know he was at that point he was saying okay i'm putting my name on this i'm doing this book of poetry it was you know of course like any solo thing any songwriter any book of poetry there's there's a certain.Track 5:[47:31] Audacity to it all too right like it's uh and um there were collaborations on especially the first two records but by the by the time we did the grand bounce gordon had written these songs and that and there was you know it had been like four or five years before in between the grand bounce and um the battle of the nudes so he had collected more songs and i was aware of all these songs because we would still hang out and i'd come over we'd record them maybe but he had they were pretty finished songs and that you know he had gained a lot of confidence from making those first two records and he the story my my memory of um the chris walla connection was that the hip did a um there in pemberton just north ukraine there was a big festival there it would have been probably 2008 or 9 and i think tom patty was on the bill death cap for cutie were definitely on the bill because Chris sought out Gord they were on the bill he sought Gord out and said I'm a huge fan but I.Track 5:[48:42] Love your solo records, he knew them he had, Gord I think was a bit taken back and he thought wow this guy this is cool and he just as Gord did he was great at, you know, connecting with people and, um, and staying in touch with them. And, and I think in the back of his mind, he thought, man, you know, it'd be cool if, you know, cause at that point, I think Chris was just about to leave Death Cab for Cutie and he wanted to, he wanted to be a producer and kind of strike out on his own.Track 5:[49:15] And, uh, Gord thought, well, maybe it'd be cool to get him to produce the record and we'll do it at the bathhouse, which is what we did in 2010, I think.Track 5:[49:25] 2009 i can't remember the year now uh we spent you know it was august we spent i think three weeks at the bathhouse like the prime time of the year to be in southern ontario you know beautiful weather all the um the bounty of the you know the farming uh all the fruits and vegetables are coming uh and you know we spent and it was it was an amazing that was such a fun record not that the other records were not fun to make but you know we would start gordon had you know i think there's 12 14 songs on the record and we would do one song a day and we'd get up and he'd teach it to us and we start playing it and you know you know we get up around 10 in the morning and uh you know eventually you start working on the stuff and it would just the song would evolve all chris would make suggestions as we did it and then by the end of the day we'd find a um you know we it might be quick it might be a bit slower and take a few uh twists and turns but every day we got something cool down every day we got something that ended up on the record there's maybe one or two songs that didn't end up on the record but it was that was a you know i thought chris was amazing with everyone, because everyone, you know.Track 5:[50:48] Had made a lot of records at that point. And, you know, Dale produced records.Track 5:[50:55] But Gord was really good at, you know, Even choosing Chris, Chris sort of recognized everyone's strengths and their weaknesses and really empowered everyone into that. I just thought he was really great.Track 5:[51:14] That record I also love. It's a very different record. It was nice. I was mostly just a bass player on that record, but I love that.Track 5:[51:24] The opportunity to do that. And it was, again, you know, it wasn't his advice, but it was advice that I got from somewhere else. But, you know, the advice was play the gig you're playing, not the gig you think you should be playing. Just do what people are asking you to do and be the best version of that person you can be. And that was always a great thing about working with gourd like he he totally empowered you to be yourself and you know if he didn't like it or he didn't get it he would say but it wouldn't be like that sucks and i hate it and uh it would be you know we just find another way uh to, wherever that would be. It would just evolve. That was, again, a really great quality. And again, I think Chris Walla deserves a lot of credit for that record because he really kind of recognized everything. He was kind of the puppet master to a certain degree as well, really making sure that sorry.Track 7:[52:44] To interrupt yeah i just we had when we had our discussion about that about the grand bounce it was uh it was really felt like a band album and i think after i would imagine after you guys had done not only the two albums prior but you know playing together live and then having someone come in and being able to kind of shepherd that it it really came through i i think for me and i I think for us as a group, when we discussed it and, and it was, it was, I think we even talked about it when we, when we went over that particular album, like we were kind of bummed that we wanted the next, the fourth album. And I wonder if you could talk a little bit about that. Like what, what was that? Uh, was there discussions about that or?Track 5:[53:31] Yes um you know they're they're um so we we made i think it was 2010 we made the record in 2011 we toured we did a we did a bunch of summer shows um and we did some shows in the states but this that tour the grand bounce tour was almost exclusively canadian and um, And we did a bunch of summer festivals. And then we did a cross-country. We went coast to coast. So it was a pretty ambitious undertaking. It was not, you know, because Gord hadn't toured a lot as a solo act. It wasn't, you know, he hadn't really developed the, it wasn't the hip, right? And so it wasn't unsuccessful.Track 5:[54:17] But it's an expensive thing. You've got a tour bus. You've got a band. And, you know, it's expensive to, you know, with the hip, it was a different thing.Track 5:[54:27] And they could charge a different amount of money and it was just more established.Track 5:[54:32] So I think, I don't think the record was a disappointment for Gord. But I think the reality of taking a band out and touring and the costs of that were, I think that was maybe a bit sobering. I don't think he was unhappy with the you know the way the band played or or even the attendance or any of that i just think it was like you know it's it's not uh it's it it's it's more of an investment and i think it was like okay well where where do i go what do i do with this do i mean do i make another record like this and i you know he wasn't someone to repeat a process right that's the other thing like it was you know i can't say enough about working with chris was great and i thought he really brought out the best in everyone there he's really positive guy really understood everyone's kind of quirkiness and strengths and uh but so you know what happened was i think gourd we made that record and then was now for plan a that came next and then but but then what I what I remember because he he sent me we were talking about the songs from the secret path so the secret path was recorded in 2013 and.Track 5:[55:58] He had finished it and mixed it at that point. So he had this idea, and I think you probably know the story of this. So his brother Mike had found this CBC radio interview that was talking about a Maclean's article from 1966 that talked about Shani Wenjack.Track 5:[56:19] And Gord heard the documentary on the CBC and read the the mclean's article and sort of got very drawn to the story and you know he ended up writing you know again if you've watched any of the secret path stuff uh you know he wrote 10 poems and uh and that became the 10 songs for the secret path you know he ended up going there uh because he had a place just on in prince prince edward county just it was about a half hour's drive from the bathhouse and um he would come to the bathhouse and kevin drew from broken social scene where he was making a lot of records there and he kind of got to know kevin a bit and kevin said kevin uh was very much involved with arts and crafts he helped establish that label and i think he said well let's make a record and gourd had these songs and that's how that record was made so he finished it but i don't think gourd really knew what to do with the record and and my memory is more from nile spencer who was the engineer the house engineer at uh at the bathhouse i don't think gourd was i don't think he really talked about what that record was about out to any great extent i mean it was clearly a record.Track 5:[57:44] That was about a very heavy subject and he would have made rough you know he.Track 5:[57:51] Would have had some explanations for it but i don't i think he was very mindful about you know i'm not sure this is my story to tell um and uh.Track 5:[58:03] And I remember him sending it to me. They mixed it in like December of 2013. And he sent it to me early in January and just said, yeah, I did this. And I want you to hear it. And it's cool. And then he sat on it. He didn't know what to do with it. He had also been writing and recording songs with Pop Rock.Track 5:[58:32] Uh, since, um, after we are the same the hip record which led into uh the grand bounce and then you know spilled over into um the time that he he recorded um the secret path so he was doing a lot of stuff so when you say you know like it would have been cool to do another uh record uh with with the uh the country miracles and in that sense i i think it would have been but it wasn't like he was uh not doing it he was busy doing a lot of different things and and and that was very much you know he was loving all of that it wasn't like he wasn't saying oh i i will never do this again i you know but i think there's a lot of things going on and uh and and he was still being very productive and very creative. And then he got sick towards the end of 2015.Track 5:[59:33] At that point, you know, I mean, you know the story. I don't need to go through it. But, you know, he knew that he wanted, obviously, to do the last hip tour, but he knew he wanted to get the Secret Path record out. It was finished. But the graphic novel was another opportunity to provide an educational tour or for what the residential schools were in Canada. And, you know, these were things, I mean, these were things that we, Gordon and I, talked about a lot. I mean, we grew up being so ignorant of what had really happened in this country. And this was an opportunity to kind of pull the lid back a little bit and to have a discussion about that.Track 5:[1:00:22] And, you know, it's amazing. You know, like it just, you know, his illness and the attention that was brought to the hip tour and then consequently to the secret path project was kind of overwhelming, you know, like it was quite incredible to be in that sort of in the center of that, to be around him and to see the impact that it's had all of it. You know I mean like even with the hip tour you know like if you were in this country if you were if you were not a tragically hip fan you would you'd be touched by that story I mean who hasn't been uh impacted by a family member a friend who's had cancer and the story was just so incredibly touching and moving you didn't have to be a fan to be touched or moved by that story And then, you know, and then to carry on to do the, you know, the shows that he did for The Secret Path was, you know, that was amazing. I know I'm sort of going on to another subject now.Track 5:[1:01:29] Um, so just, yeah, I'm just kind of trying to bridge that time, time gap, you know, there was a, there was a lot going on for him. And, um, and you know, I think if the opportunity, if he had, if he hadn't gotten sick, I'm sure we would have made another recording, you know, I'm sure that would have happened. Maybe it would have been a different producer. Maybe it would have been something different, you know, like me was, uh, he was constantly doing things, you know, he was always working. Like he was, that was, you know, he was like a shark that way. He was always moving, you know, like he, very much part of his makeup, his DNA.Track 4:[1:02:11] So you were a part of the Secret Path live band.Track 5:[1:02:14] Yeah.Track 4:[1:02:15] And what was the lead up to that? Like, like the rehearsals, I know it seemed maybe Gord was, you know, he was quite sick at that time. were you guys you know were you ever worried that it it wouldn't work out or was there any hesitation.Track 5:[1:02:33] Well i think you know i even with the hip tour like i think you know when i mean i saw gourd all three you know from when he got sick and which was like november late october early November of 2015, he had his first operation, I think it was November, mid-November that year, and then it was a long recovery, and then he ended up having a second operation, and then, you know, went through radiation, and, you know, all the treatment that he did, so you know i saw him through a lot of that you know i you know i'd go over on a regular basis there's a time when the treatments were so he was sleeping a lot because you know they fucking kicked the shit out of you you know when he decided he wanted to do the the hip tour and you know i mean i think everyone i i mean there's it's all documented and you know in that uh show I mean, of course, everyone was concerned, could he do it? But, you know, man, the guy was a fucking force. Like, he was so strong physically and mentally. Like, he just, he was so determined to do it. And it was incredible, you know. I'm sure, Craig, you saw one of those shows, or, you know, like, it was a remarkable.Track 4:[1:04:00] I was at the two Vancouver shows. Justin was at the Ottawa show, actually, the second last one.Track 5:[1:04:06] Um, yeah, I mean, it, it, uh, I mean, to answer your question, was there concern for sure, especially for the secret past stuff, because he had never sung it beyond the recordings that he had done and when he wrote them. So as opposed to the, you know, the hip stuff where, you know, there's sort of a motor, uh, memory muscle that, you know, it's just, uh, but, you know, it's amazing like the brain is an incredible thing and you know gourd's short-term memory was impacted there were certain things that he struggled with but you know the music was it was pretty amazing what he was and he definitely made mistakes he definitely you know and it would could be counting in or waiting in it sir but we found out ways to make use or accommodate that and i I mean, it was amazing.Track 5:[1:04:58] Yes, there was concern that maybe it won't work, but it did, you know. And, you know, also, you know, Gord was not like, he could come in early on a verse when he was perfectly well. I mean, he was not a, those imperfections he often made work. You know, he adopted this philosophy, but, you know, what he used to say for a show to be interesting something something has to happen that neither the audience or the performer expects so a mistake can turn into a um an opportunity yeah and he often uh something happens and it's like okay here's my opportunity to make something of it not like not fucking freak out or fall apart and i mean that's a you know if you're a a seasoned performer, you understand that, you know, yeah, you don't have, I mean, everyone fucks up. I mean, that happens. So, yeah, I mean, it was... For all the shows we did with the secret pass stuff, there were very few mistakes. I don't think he made any more mistakes than anyone else made. Let me put it that way.Track 4:[1:06:14] Yeah, I know the show that's online is incredible. It is one of the best concerts that I've seen. I've actually made Kirk and Justin promise not to watch it yet. So we're going to watch it together one day online, I think. and it's so good. Yeah.Track 7:[1:06:35] Thank you, Justin. That's been something especially after we did the episode about the secret path and all the research we did. So yeah, when we had our recording of the secret path, that was one thing we had to make a little pack that we were going to wait. We're going to try and do a live stream of it, but it's been very difficult. Obviously watching some of the great documentary pieces that were done about the entire secret path project. And as you mentioned um you know where that kind of came in the timeline and and then obviously the it was recorded and then there was a few years break i think before it was released but um yeah we're we're very excited about seeing that that particular show and craig has has talked very highly of it so we're pretty excited to see that for sure yeah.Track 5:[1:07:23] Well it's very heavy you know it's It's not a, you know, and as it's meant to be, you know, it's a very heavy story. There's a lot to it. And it's being delivered by a guy that is well aware of his timeline, you know. And this was a part of his legacy that he was very aware that he he could have a positive impact you know any I think you personally really changed the conversation in this country and and I still see it you know I'm still very, I'm still involved with the Danny Wenjack fund and I'm actually doing a school event out of Vancouver next week next.Track 4:[1:08:17] Are you serious craig oh man craig's a teacher i'm a teacher i use it every year um, and uh i yeah so i watch that show every no no no go ahead i alternate between i'm sorry i was just gonna say i i go through every song with with the class and you know we talk and it's amazing every year there's like another another layer something else that someone will will see and we we talk a little bit about this artistic representation of this, of this boy's story and how it, it relates to the much larger, you know, issues that go back, you know, the things that we weren't taught when we were in school and it's, it's been really eyeopening and, and every year it's just a highlight of, of, of the year. A lot of students remember it years later. It's been really impactful and it's a way for me to dig into this topic that I, you know as a middle-aged white guy don't have a you know a personal connection to it gives me a way to sort of dive into this difficult material in a genuine way and students really appreciate that that um they can tell i mean i know i.Track 5:[1:09:28] Know it's in over 6300 classrooms across canada, the secret path and i know over 8 000 teachers are teaching that and i think really what's happening now is that they need to expand on the curriculum they need to build on it like the secret path has been a great introduction of course and it's a great tool but you can't teach the same thing over and over again you can't read the same book and expect you know so i think that's partially where they're at with it uh and that's a good problem to have.Track 5:[1:10:02] But you know it's it's just learning a truth that is important and a part of our history in this country that's important because you know as a canadian who spent a lot of time in the states you know i find that we are very we can be very sanctimonious and self-righteous about how fucking awesome we are and how our shit doesn't smell but you know and and you know.Track 5:[1:10:28] Canadians are the first to look down south and say well you know at least we're not fucked up like they are look at their medical system look at look at whatever you know like it's you know and and you know our shit stinks too and we you know we i just think this has been such an amazing opportunity to see how impactful uh this is and you know what's so interesting is that it's really ultimately not about gourd like and that was sort of his that was what was so incredible about this like he knew that he's he's telling the story and his illness and his celebrity and the connection to the hip were leveraging the the attention towards this but he knew that this was much bigger than him you know i i was just talking to the the guy that's organizing the uh event i'm doing out in uh in vancouver and he was saying yeah he's a huge hit fan big music fan and he's saying you know like a lot of these young kids don't know who the tragically hip are and it sort of breaks his heart you know because uh or doesn't they don't know who gourd downey is but they know the secret path and it's so interesting and truthfully it's really what it is the important part of the story is the truth of why that story had to be told and And I think Gord would be kind of smiling about that right now.Track 5:[1:11:54] I know with the graphic novel, I recall vividly him saying, in his mind...Track 5:[1:12:02] The graphic novel and the music could be played for grade fives. You know, that was sort of his target audience. That's good age. This could have a good impact. I mean, I think it's become much broader than that. And as you said, Craig, it became, you know, there are many layers to it and there's a lot to it. You know, with a lot of Gord stuff, it's very interpretive and very, you know you can really peel back the layers on it so i think that makes them happy and i know for me on a personal level to be able to they these are uh called uh artist ambassador that's part of the downey one jack artist ambassador program so i go i go into the schools and i'm introduced and i'm you know i knew gourd and i talk a little bit about my uh relationship with him and the connection to the secret path and i go around and i look at the work that the students do and i talk to them and i just it you know it fills my heart to know that i'm still connected to gourd through this project and all the other stuff i did but this was this was a special opportunity for him to leave his own legacy but not about him but the legacy of something that he felt.Track 5:[1:13:26] He felt like it's a story that needed to be told and it's a conversation that needed to be had.Track 7:[1:13:32] One thing that I was able to share with the guys yesterday, my middle daughter graduated from a local university out here, Cal State University, Northridge. And before the ceremony began, they actually had a recorded message from the indigenous tribe from the area saying, prior to the university being built. And they had partnered with them. And the leadership of the tribe actually sent out a blessing as well as a song to the university and to the graduates and to those of us that were there. And I was there with my mom, my 81 year old mom. And I'd been sharing a lot of the secret path story with her and, you know, gave her the graphic novel to read. And we talk about it because I go over and visit quite regularly. And we both were so taken aback as Americans, because we're aware of our ugly past, and we're aware how bad we stink down here. And too often, we don't get the opportunity to really recognize it and bring it to the forefront as much as we could. And for us, that was fantastic, especially after our discussion with this group about secret path to see something in the United States. And I've been to many graduations, and I've been to many events and whatnot. And that was quite literally the first time I had ever seen anything like that done in the recognition.Track 7:[1:14:50] And it really, it, it warmed our heart that it was, it's about time, of course, but it's going to take those like Gord and that project and what you guys did, um, obviously in what you're continuing to do to, to bring that recognition. So that was just, it was really great and timely. And I know Justin has spent some time i'm doing some research as well about about uh um some of the indigenous issues in the history and whatnot and it's been great for us as you know americans to have that open discussion as well and uh so we really appreciate you sharing that with us because that that was uh it was definitely emotional for us going through the secret path and having that discussion and and as as craig had mentioned you know us middle-aged white guys you know trying to pretend for a second that we We know what happened and what they're going through. The awareness, I think, was really important for us and to be able to discuss that. So definitely appreciate you sharing that with us.Track 5:[1:15:51] Yeah, yeah. I mean, I just read something or saw an interview recently and just talking about colonialism. And, you know, like, you know, our history is that is kind of the history of the world. I mean, it's not any more North American than it is. It happened in China 7,000 years ago. It continues that. You know, you can't change what has happened, but you can acknowledge what's happened. And, you know, what's amazing is, you know, I know, I mean, my mom is almost 94. for. You know, a lot of the discussions with her and people of her generation about First Nations people here was that, oh, you know, we give them so much and we give them money and they you know, there's all these sort of false narratives about.Track 5:[1:16:45] And, you know, she's just repeating things that she's hearing, right? So this is what happens. Like, you hear something enough, and it becomes the truth. You know, like, you know, and I mean, that's sort of the sad reality of politics these days as well. You get a message just fucking repeatedly all the time. And then before you know it, you're saying it yourself somehow. You're believing it. It's so weird. It's so fucked up. The truth is often difficult to accept and to acknowledge, and it's not just about being white and privileged.Track 5:[1:17:24] Which of course we are, or I am, I won't speak for you guys, but it's about being honest about what has happened. And the history is not as it often is. It's told through the eyes of the people that have been the beneficiaries of it. And this has been an amazing journey for me. I've ended up doing many different projects. And that's what I was doing with Kevin Hearn today. We do this collaboration with Chief Stacey LaForme, who's just retired, but was the elected chief of the Mississaugas of the First Credit. And he's a poet as well. And we did a collaboration with him when the 615 bodies were discovered in Kamloops. He wrote a poem and Kevin and I put some music to it and inserted his voice through that as well. I'll send it to you, Kirk. It's a very, very powerful thing. And we've done a bunch of performances with him and we're doing something with him in June again.Track 5:[1:18:36] And it's, you know, again, it's like it's just this ongoing dialogue and this process of, you know, realizing that people are people, you know. And it's very powerful to share these collaborations and these stories. And, you know, I mean, Greg, you're seeing it every day. I see it every once in a while when I go into these schools. But these young kids are hearing these stories. So they're not, they're not, they're hearing these stories firsthand. They acknowledge and accept what happened. So they're not denying it. They're not pretending it didn't happen. They weren't, as what was Gore's line, trained to ignore it.Track 5:[1:19:22] It's such a fucking good line. And that was, again, that's sort of the righteousness of our thing is, you know, if you just put it out of your mind, well, then you don't have, and you don't think about it, then it's not your problem.Track 5:[1:19:36] And, you know, lo and behold, it was, you know, like there's a very dark history to our relationship with the First Nations people in this country. And you know what's amazing is i remember travis good talking about this when he was touring with his dad's band the good brothers in the 80s and early 90s late you know mid to late 80s he'd go over to holland and they would be saying you know what's up with your country you fucking treat the natives like shit what's with the residential schools he had no idea you know like me he was sort of you know and he learned about it from another country you know like it's always amazing how you know where we can be so uh oblivious and ignorant of our own truth i know i i did i'm kind of on a bit of a rant but it was a very and still is a very moving part of uh that relationship uh with gourd and and very one i'm so i'm just so i'm so proud of him for finding the creative courage to to to make that record and then you know like just so blown away by his courage for sure but his tenacity to get it out there and to go out and do those shows that was uh that was a.Track 5:[1:20:59] Remarkable thing including the hip tour i don't i don't they're not one i don't see one is more exclusive than the other i just think.Track 5:[1:21:09] It was a remarkable feat to watch him go through that.Track 7:[1:21:12] Absolutely and and uh you know this whole project as we'd mentioned has been great for us as as tragically hip fans and already having an appreciation and a love for gordon and what he's done and the band had done and a

Episode 12 is a return to our roots in talk radio, with a long-form interview of Mynarski ward Councilor Ross Eadie of Winnipeg's North End. 4:57- In Part 1, we asked Coun. Eadie about the city budget and Mayor Gillingham's repeated practice of issuing high interest debentures: "We have to fund by debt the North End sewage plant," he explained, as an example of long-term assets being financed. 10.00- "We have no more cash" because of property tax freezes in the past, and Eadie tells that the upcoming budget is going to see a change in the debt policy. "There's lots of people making lots of money in this City, believe me," Eadie said, in justifying potential tax and fee hikes. With Wab Kinew allowing school boards to hike taxes, we discuss if inner-city councilors are concerned that long-time homeowners are being squeezed. 12.50- Coun. Eadie comments on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's housing incentive "deal". What will the effect beof federally-influenced zoning changes in Mynarski? "It's going to change everything", by allowing a 4 plex anywhere from the Red River to about Sinclair, and all the way north to Leila. "It's going to change the whole look and feel of the neighborhoods", although Eadie assures this is a long, gradual process. 16.15- Next, Eadie responds to Coun. Brian Mayes' discovery about Parker Lands. Built as a transit oriented development, it somehow didn't qualify to be on the revised civic housing map. 18.00- Trudeau's Housing Accelerator Fund has "nothing to redevelop an area like Dufferin" - hear which areas in the north end are going to be targeted by developers. 19.36- Eadie describes how the HAF hearing process is supposed to roll out: hear how he ensured ALL council members, including Mayor Gillingham, will listen to the public's concerns. To sponsor podcasts, or contribute support by Interac: Email-- martygoldlive@gmail.com 22:25- Part 2- Focusing on new transit route plans, Eadie reveals that last week councilors learned "things have been changed". He describes crazy administration ideas for new routes in the North End, such as moving the Cathedral bus onto Inkster- despite the foundation problems. "The planners don't know the history of these neighborhoods," laments Eadie. Marty raised the question about the fate of Route 10 serving St. Boniface Hospital, which Eadie is very familiar with. 28.40- Having heard our exclusive reports about relentless bike lobbyists demonizing drivers and neighborhood opposition and gaming the consultation process, Eadie related how these dynamics play out for access to Scotia. He anticipates more bike lobby resistance when he insists a bus route on the riverbank street be maintained. 31.00 We hear a forecast of where in the south end, that north end buses will land. (Get ready Stafford St.) 34.00 There's no confidence in City holding genuine consultations anymore. Marty cites our discovery about the secret plan to erase 99 St. Boniface parking spaces. "People should have been told", agreed Eadie, who is determined to ensure similar complaints can't be made about the bus route discussions. He's already warned officials about the crumbling roads targeted for future bus use. 41:15- Marty Gold recaps the interview, observing that Eadie agrees public consultations are falling far short of the obligations to voters. **** There's nobody with the experience Marty Gold has at City Hall, starting with speeches and covering elections in the 1980's. Your support is integral to this work as your watchdog- and we make it worth your investment by conducting investigations and full length interviews with elected officials and other newsmakers.

Ross Eadie on Transit safety and the violent incidents affecting bus drivers and riders, and he discussed the safety concerns of other councilors about the City Hall campus.

Four people, two of them pedestrians, were rushed to hospital following a collision in Scarborough; Toronto police say the brick-wielding suspect fled on foot after striking a fellow passenger on the TTC's Dufferin bus; and, an Ontario family was shocked to be denied boarding their flight to Portugal because their passports were going to expire in three months.

Maureen Pollard interviews Mike Bonikowsky, a caregiver who provides direct support for people living with developmental disabilities, about providing support for individuals with intellectual disabilities who are grieving. "Never underestimate the power of just being physically present with that person ... in times of loss and in times of different kinds of tragedy, the only thing that really mattered was that I was there and I kept showing up."

Episode 254: On Saturday, June 23, 1990, three teenagers, Brigitte Grenier, 16, Kyle Unger, 19, and Timothy Houlahan, 17, all separately attended a music festival at a ski resort near Roseisle, Manitoba. The following morning, Brigette was discovered dead in a creek in a heavily forested area within the resort. She'd been sexually assaulted, beaten, tortured and strangled to death. As both had been seen with the victim during the hours before her death, police quickly targeted Kyle Unger and Timothy Houlahan as suspects in Brigette's slaying.  Forensic evidence pointed to Houlahan, and he, in turn, pointed to Kyle Unger as Brigette's murderer, but Kyle was adamant he'd had nothing to do with Brigette's death. The physical evidence against Kyle Unger was a single strand of hair found on Brigette's sweatshirt. RCMP needed more, so they turned to their tried and true Mr. Big technique and, sure enough, acquired a confession from Kyle Unger. In February of 1992, both Unger and Houlahan were convicted of first-degree murder. Both appealed. Houlahan's appeal was successful, and in July 1993, the Manitoba Court of Appeal ordered a new trial for him. Tim Houlahan completed suicide before his second trial. Kyle Unger's conviction was upheld. Did the justice system get it right? Unfortunately, we will see that it did not, at least not right away.

In this two-part episode of the Courage My Friends podcast, Tim Gray, executive director of Environmental Defence and Sandra Schwartz, national executive director of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) discuss the crisis of biodiversity loss and mass extinction, Canada's commitments under the Kunming-Montreal agreement coming out of the global COP15 gathering on biodiversity, and challenges and strategies toward meeting this very ambitious and even more necessary target. According to Schwartz: the UN has reported recently,.. that around a million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction. And that is really within a few decades. That's more than ever before in human history. And that's largely a result of human interaction with nature. So whether that is from exploration, from mining for example, forestry, …clearly we need to act now to save the natural world, because it is sustaining us as humans. Speaking to the recent Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, Schwartz says: [I]t was a huge win, both for people, but also for the planet. .. Target Three of the framework is requiring the protection of at least 30% of land and ocean is protected globally by 2030…a requirement that Indigenous rights are respected and that Indigenous territories are recognized…And, all together the goals and targets of the agreement really do present a comprehensive plan to protect and restore biodiversity. But it's ambitious. And really, from our perspective going into the conference, what we were most holding out hope for was that the Framework Agreement would be ambitious.  Reflecting on proposed development on the Ontario Greenbelt, Gray says: 70% of the lands to be removed, is in something called Dufferin's Rouge Agricultural Preserve. It was both part of the Greenbelt, but also had its own separate protective legislation, which was removed by Bill-39 at the same time that Bill-32 was going through…This was formally publicly-owned land, sold to the farm community with legal easements to keep it as farmland forever, which have now been removed and open for development. So threats both to forest and wetland systems that are associated with the National Park, contrary to Indigenous rights and Indigenous opposition, threatens the viability of farming in that area. ..And so the viability of the farm community is threatened, major river systems, federally listed species at risk, fisheries habitat, migratory birds. The list is very, very long.  In terms of the implementation of global agreements, Gray says: [O]ne of the real challenges that we face is that, even as we sign international agreements that commit to stopping loss, increasing protection, advancing restoration to address biodiversity loss is that we see, like in particular in Ontario right now, a massive race in the opposite direction with dismantling of protection regimes for woodlands, wetlands, massive encouragement of sprawl development at the expense of building denser cities with transit, etc. So it is a real challenge to see the most populist, most wealthy province with a huge amount of the the biodiversity that this country holds, literally racing in the direction of further destruction  About today's guests Tim Gray is the executive director of Environmental Defence. Gray has over 25 years experience developing and implementing environmental policy change efforts. These have included major shifts in land conservation, forest practices and climate change. Starting out his career as a biologist and policy analyst, Gray has spent a lot of time learning skills that move complex environmental issues toward resolution. He has worked with other change makers on the front lines of conflict and has also taken his skills inside to work on government advisory committees and in complex negotiations with industry. Gray completed an H.BSc. at Wilfrid Laurier University and a M.Sc. at the University of Toronto. Sandra Schwartz is the national executive director of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society. With master's degrees in management, and environmental studies and over 20 years of experience, she is a strong advocate for sound environmental policy and has championed progressive ideas for clean energy and tackling climate change.

Despite the wealth of healthcare resources in our city, there's one group that has been dedicated to helping those who have fallen through the cracks for more than three decades now, and their business has continued to boom because of the COVID-19 pandemic. So here, on the eve of this year's World AIDS Day, we'll look at how HIV is only where ARCH's story begins. We've been insanely focused on healthcare for the last 20 months, talking about COVID-19 and its effects, but did you know that ARCH has been doing all sexual health testing and treatment for Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph since the start of the pandemic? This is on top of a laundry list of services that ARCH offers including their core mission: Education, outreach, support and clinical services for those living with and affected by HIV/AIDS, and those who are at-risk for HIV. Under the best of circumstances, ARCH is doing a lot of vital work and they have to find much of that funding for themselves, but in the midst of lockdowns and COVID precautions, much of their normal fundraising activities had to be cancelled. Still, ARCH has persevered, as they have for 31 years, assisting clients in Guelph and Wellington County, plus Dufferin, Grey and Bruce Counties, all thanks to a dedicated staff who cover a wide-range of disciplines and talents. This week, we're joined by one of those people, Communications & Fund Development Co-ordinator Sonia Preisler. She will talk about the long list of ARCH's services, and how the pandemic has changed the way they deliver those services. She will also talk about the little discussed pandemic impact on sexual health, and how it's fallen on ARCH to pick up a lot of the work not covered by other other healthcare orgs. And finally, she will talk about ARCH's future, and what the significance of World AIDS Day is in the year 2021. So let's wrap our Countdown to Giving on this week's Guelph Politicast! Today is the start of AIDS Awareness Week, and to learn more about all the events, the Red Scarf Project, and to interact with any of ARCH's multitude of services, you can go to their website here. If you want to take part in the in-person 100 Candles event for World AIDS Day, you register to attend on Eventbrite. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

Jesse Hy is the co-founder of Float Toronto (@float_toronto) (https://float-toronto.com/) Originally from Vancouver, he and his business partner were introduced to sensory deprivation tanks, or float tanks. They dove in head first, enjoyed it first as consumers and as they learned more, decided to move to Toronto and open their own center in 2014. Floating is a tricky experience to explain, because it's truly like no other. You lay in a large tank filled with a few inches of warm water that is loaded with Epsom salt. So much salt that you easily float on the surface of the water. The tank closes and there is no sense of weight, no sound, no sight (you can choose to keep the lights on if you please, but the fullest experience is with the lights off), and barely any sense of feeling. The water is heated to a temperature similar to our bodies temperature, such that when you're in it, you lose sense of where your body ends. The idea of the tank is to remove all sensory input – an environment we can't really experience anywhere else. There are innumerable physical, emotional, and psychological benefits to floating. The heavy concentration of magnesium in the salt is excellent for nearly all cellular functions in our body. It's great for helping with muscle soreness, aches and pains. As well as the weightlessness is great for pressure relief. Being in the tank allows for the opportunity for quite a deep meditative state. With no sensory distractions, it's just you and your thoughts. And you can take that as deep as you'd like. Jesse does a far better job explaining what floating is, why it's useful, and the best practices to have the best experience possible in the tank. We also spoke about the importance of holistic living especially through drinking fresh spring water. The link to the find a spring program Jesse mentioned can be found here or on IG. Float Toronto is located near Queen and Dufferin at (address) in Toronto. Jesse also named several other Float centers in the GTA. But nearly any city you live in will have a float center, and both Jesse and I highly recommend you check it out!You can follow Float Toronto on IG, and check out their website to book a float.  I would greatly appreciate any comments, questions or feedback. If you could share this with a friend, that would mean the world to me. If you enjoy this podcast, I would be extremely grateful if you subscribed and left a short review on iTunes. It really helps to spread the message and ultimately help more people.  Connect with me on Instagram @danielyoresConnect with me on Twitter @danielyores Podcast Cover Art by @octopuslegss

Today's extremely Toronto Politics Twitter episode concerns the ongoing #BBQAnon clownshow in town. A barbecue restaurant got a lot of media attention recently when they defiantly refused to cooperate as the province imposed new public health restrictions on indoor dining during a new COVID-19 lockdown: the local right wing press hailed the restauranteur as a “barbecue revolutionary” fighting for “the little guy” but this spectacle wound up giving media oxygen to some of the darkest forces in the city, including the anti-mask/anti-vaccine brigade and the far right. Guest Daniel Reynolds is a writer and critic who also works for the City of Toronto as a traffic planner: he and host Jesse Hawken discuss this dystopian story of civic paranoia and media gaslighting and frame it within the context of a classic science-fiction parable, the Invasion of the Body Snatchers, a tale told four times so far by Hollywood, most notably in the masterful 1978 version by Phillip Kaufman, starring Donald Sutherland as a public health inspector! Plus: Jesse runs an exciting local heritage proposal past Daniel for the redevelopment of the Dufferin & Dupont area that no resident of downtown Toronto will want to miss!

The last time that Dr. Nicola Mercer appeared on this podcast it was July, and things seemed to be going pretty good. Much of the province had been under a Stage 2 re-opening for weeks, and we were on the cusp of Stage 3. The virus wasn’t gone, but the number of new and active cases was on the right trajectory, but there were at the time rumblings about what would happen in the fall. We’re now more than one month into fall, and it seems like those warnings underestimated just how hard COVID-19 would come roaring back as soon as it got colder outside. If you just watch the daily numbers, it seems bad, or if you just listen to the news about all the places that have had to go back to Stage 2 openings, the outlook for the rest of the year is concerning. But doctors have been advising us to look at the trends,  so what do the trends tell us? By the time you’re listening to this, it’s likely that Wellington, Dufferin and Guelph has had more cases of COVID, but even in this resurgence we’re seeing around 50 active cases at any given time. Our local assessment centre has struggled occasionally to keep up with testing capacity, but that wasn't an unusual story as cases started ticking up again last month. It seems we’re doing well managing the pandemic locally, but let's ask an expert on public health matters. Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Medical Officer of Health Dr. Mercer joins us this week to talk about the bigger picture in protecting our area from COVID-19, the secrets to our success so far, and whether or not she’s concerned about the surge in new cases in other regions around us. She will also discuss the potential issues with the location of the assessment centre now at Southgate Drive, when an outbreak’s not an outbreak at Holy Trinity School here in Guelph, and how you might be able to tell the difference between when you have the common cold and if you might have COVID-19. So let's talk about COVID (as if we're talking about anything else) on this week's edition of the Guelph Politicast! You can get all the latest trends and statistics about the COVID-19, as well as the latest public health advisories and advice, at the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health website. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean. Find more episodes of the Politicast here, or download them on your favourite podcast app at Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play, and Spotify.

The Dye Maker - Composed by: Phaeolus schweinitzii for Music Works magazine - The biodata of Phaeolus schweinitzii (common name: the Dye Maker’s polypore) was recorded during a Fall foray with the Mycological Society of Toronto at Dufferin forest, Mansfield ON 2019. MIDI translation took place in Toronto at co:Lab/nanopod studio Performed by: Nanotopia (Tosca Terán, Andrei Gravelle) who brought the midi translation of the biodata into Ableton Live and gave Phaeolus schweinitzii a timbral voice. The challenge to collaborating with non-human organisms is to try to minimize the sense of our own involvement in the process. While I mediate the biodata gathered to temper it to determinant pitches and give it a timbral voice, I feel that the sense of rhythm and pattern captured in my field recordings represent a unique aspect of the fungi. While the biodata can sometimes be a starting point for further development, I chose this track, which has had minimal intervention on our part to convey the richness of the source material I gathered and hope that it creates inspiration and dialogue for not only new creative processes but to awaken new ways of seeing the diversity of life on our planet and lead to further multi-species entanglements. - © info: Nanotopia.net/Midnight Mushroom Music -Tosca Terán

Monday is Labour Day, which most people mark as the unofficial end of summer, but Labour Day has, and should, stand for something more. In this era where labour is struggling so hard, doing more work for the same pay, and in a perpetual state of stress, should we not take some to make sure we keep the "labour" in Labour Day? Of course, the answer is "yes!" and on this week's podcast, we're going to focus on a specific area of labour rights that does not get nearly enough coverage, the plight of injured workers. Joining us to discuss this is Paul Taylor, who ran as a candidate for the None of the Above Party last year, and is the founder of Injured Workers of Wellington & Dufferin Counties.  Even among workers' rights issues, it's hard to get a lot of press for matters involving injured workers even as the Association of Workers' Compensation Boards of Canada says that in 2017, there were 951 workplace fatalities in Canada, which was an increase of 46 over 2016. On top of that, there were 251,508 accepted claims for lost time due to a work-related injury or disease, which increased by 10,000 cases in one year. It seems pretty serious, but for every claim that's approved, there are dozens whose claims are not-approved, and others who only get approval after sometimes struggling for years to get their benefits. Paul Taylor knows this struggle all too well as he's tried for over 20 years to get the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, or WSIB, to recognize his back injuries from a workplace accident while he was a delivery driver. On this edition of the podcast, Taylor join us to talk about 20-year plus journey with the WSIB, the Ontario Court Systems and preparing a challenge to the Supreme Court. He also talks about the struggles of workers like him, and the way that businesses and the government make it harder for injured workers to claim their benefits. Plus, Taylor discusses why Ontario's cuts to legal aid are hurting workers too, and stay tuned till the end of the show for a political announcement! So let's talk about the need of injured workers, and how we can best help them out on this special Labour Day edition of the Guelph Politicast! You can learn more about the Injured Workers of Wellington and Dufferin at their website. The next meeting of the IWWD is Thursday September 12th from 4 to 6 pm at the UNIFOR Hall at 611 Silvercreek Pkwy north of Woodlawn. Reminder: if you want to celebrate local labour, there's the Labour Day Picnic hosted by the Guelph & District Labour Council at Riverside Park from 12 to 3 pm on Monday September 2.

[INTRO]I have this itch that I can't scratch. It's basically buying more properties. And If you already have a few condo or freehold investments and you're wondering what to buy next between the two, either condo or freehold, you want to grow your portfolio or maybe you're just starting out and you want to look in getting into the market. Either way, This podcast is about condo or freehold investing. Which one's better? Join me my most recent conversation with my good friend Charles Messina. Charlie and I have been working together for quite some time now, as our team has helped him grow and maintain his investment portfolio. So In this first episode of season two, we talked about what's better to hold condo or freehold investments.Welcome to season two of boardwalk talks, your real estate investment show with your host, Kenneth Yim. Excuse the audio quality this conversation or future episodes will be high quality, just like this intro. Anyway, let's get right into it.[KEN]Should I buy a freehold or condos and investment?[CHARLES]:Yeah, this is a topic we've talked about before can and people ask us all the time. And I think it's a good idea for us to talk about the pros and cons of each. What do you think?Yeah, sounds great. I mean, we both hold both properties as investments. I mean, we've gone through that. So I guess we can talk on either side, right?[CHARLES]:Yeah, that's right.[KEN]Why don’t we do rock, paper, scissors? So winner takes freehold?[CHARLES]:Yes![KEN]:123. Tie. 123. Okay, so I took winner, so I'm freehold.[CHARLES]:Yes.[KEN]:All right, here we go. So I get the freehold side, you get the condo side pros, right. So I'm pro freehold and you’re pro condo. So let's go ahead. What's, what are some pros and cons of buying freehold?[CHARLES]:Well, the cons of freeholed, as someone who's lived in a condominium for a long time, it’s great lifestyle, because certainly, everything's taken care of, for you. And as an investment, we both have condos as investment properties, and you're buying management of those condos. You don't get too many phone calls from your tenants simply because a lot of is taken care of through those maintenance fees.[KEN]:Right. Right. So I guess the biggest pro for buying a freehold investment is that you get the land, right. So the thing with that, you're right, you do have to maintain it as long as… or maintenance. I would say the upside of that is that? Well, I mean, I guess if you have multi units, multi residents per freehold investment, then you could get economies of scale that way, right? I mean, the maintenance, It's kind of optional, you don't have to do it. If you don't want to, right? You could be a true slumlord not and do nothing really, you know, certainly you do want to maintain your property. And I'm not saying that I'm not advising any of the listeners to to not maintain your properties for your tenants. But you could choose when you want to do your investment, really, you can be a little more hands on with it.[CHARLES]:Right. And just On that point can let's talk a little bit about the price per square foot, if you will, that you're getting as an investment on a condo versus a freehold.[KEN]:That's a really good point. So let's look at some numbers here. So the average price of a detached home in the entire Toronto Real Estate board is just over a million bucks. So it's 1.018 million. And for condos, it's $590,274. In Toronto, and just 416, south of Steeles, it's a little over 1.3 million for freehold and for condo is $636,000. Specifically, if you look at the downtown core, which is between Dufferin and DVP, we're looking at $706,000 Just south of the Bloor.[CHARLES]:Right And that's, that's an interesting point there about the spread can more so lucky and Toronto almost double. So let's talk a little bit about the fees that are associated with condos, and that spread between a condo and freehold. So typically, would you agree that a condo around that $600,000 range would be around for $450-500 a month for condo fees?[KEN]:Condo fees and taxes? Yeah, let's call it $500. Let's say you get about $2,400 on an average $600,000 condo, one bedroom.[CHARLES]:Right. And for homes, obviously you're paying taxes as well. But as you mentioned earlier, maintenance fees, those are optional things, certainly you're going to have to spend money on all. I would say, of course you have control over when and the timing of when you spend that money. Versus with the condo, you have the peace of mind that you know major things that are going wrong in the building are covered with your condo fees. But something that's come to mind for me lately as owning both a freehold investment and condo investment is, over time, as we're talking about pros and cons, we can argue both sides of it is, that you're paying a lot of money and maintenance fees over a span of 5 to 10 to 15 years. And you know, how would you respond to that?[KEN]:Well, that's actually a good point. Because you know, if you if you actually look at your tax bills, depending if you are in the city of Toronto or not, but if you are in the city of Toronto, let's say location is relatively similar. You're looking at a higher tax bill, which would make up the difference really, and what you're paying for the maintenance in condos. Except you also have to maintain the property, depending on the age of it. There's so many variables, it's kind of hard to say, right? So I would say all in all, I think I understand your point, that maintenance is required, whether you have a condo or freehold. It's something that depreciate some value, it's not gonna last forever, It's just a matter of whether you want it professionally property manager, or if you want to take that control on yourself.[CHARLES]:Right. And we've always talked about getting in the market and how we encourage our clients to get into the market. And certainly with the prices as they are typically somebody is first purchase is probably going to be a condo these days, especially a young couple. And so when we look at building up equity, then certainly further down the road, They can consider moving up to a freehold as a result of investing in that condo.[KEN]:For sure. And I was actually gonna say that for the summary. But you're right, I mean, at the absolute dollar amount of buying a freehold, is almost double, if not more than double, of what a condo would be. And I always find that people that are looking for condos, certainly the rents are going to be higher per door for a condo. They're nicer places, they have amenities that concierge and things like that, right? As generally nice views, right and good locations, better locations than houses generally. So of course people tenants are they're willing to pay more rent for it, The property is going to command more rent per door, But then you don't get the efficiencies that you do in a freehold in a multi unit. Right?[CHARLES]:Correct. Because you could have the option of potentially renting out the basement making a two units. Certainly we've heard about what the City of Toronto discussions around allowing people to build in lane ways to expand the number of housing options. That whole also comes into play if you're buying a freehold as an investment.[KEN]:Right, Right. You know, actually, there's a lot of other ways to improve value of the rents improve the rents, right? I mean, you could do things like coin laundry or or storage, you can add storage to the property just pop up, You know, like a container bin or some kind of locker system out there and charge a little bit more. Or you can include Wi Fi, you know, for throughout the entire all the units that you have in there. So you have three units can throw in free Wi Fi, and just jack the rents a little bit, which will improve your numbers, there's so many ways you can improve the rent. Right. With a condo, I don't think you can do that typically.[CHARLES]:Well, you're limited to one revenue source, of course, right?[KEN]Of course. Wait, you’re supposed to be acting for the pro of condo, not acting for the pros of freehold.[CHARLES]:Well, I guess what we're saying Ken is I guess I've come to the conclusion that you can argue both sides of the pros and cons because we own both. And I think what we're trying to do here is we're trying to give… We're not trying to be fence sitters. But it occurs to me, it's about timing and where people's people are in the whole investment profile versus It's one thing to buy your own home to live in. And then as you've done so well, with your clients over the years counselling them is when they're ready to move up to a house to live in maintaining that condo as a rental. So we're certainly not saying it's the beyond all end all one versus the other.[KEN]:Of course, but that's the point of our topic. We're trying to get some controversy here. But at the end of the day, to all the listeners out there, I think, really, it's just to get started. That's The moral of the story. And I think that's what you're trying to say, Charlie, If you don't get started, you won't have the opportunity to build the equity, like you do in when you're in the market.[CHARLES]:Correct. And we're not just talking about this, we've actually seen our clients do this. Yeah, absolutely. So we're not basically talking about anything that we haven't done ourselves or our clients.[KEN[:Right, let's say, say you have the means to buy a free hold investment. And say you're actually you already have one or two condos now. And now you're thinking, should I pick up my third condo? Or should I trade them all and get a house?[CHARLES]:Yes, that's a great point, something that I've thought about as well. And I think it goes back to having the versatility in a home. Of course, you'd have to buy the right property where you've got the option where you need a separate entrance, for example, that would be ideal if you're going to rent up the basement or an upper level as an example. And then further down the road, assessing a property is, could I build up on this property as well and increase the value of the property? Because as we know, we have many clients and we know contractors that can give us an idea of what it costs to build, in addition, or build out a basement. And then of course you do the god cost benefit analysis of is it worth it for me to spend $50,000 on a basement reno, And what are typically the rents. Very good friend of mine, he bought a bungalow in Etobicoke. And he added the second story, He's renting out his basement. And, for example, he's getting $2,000 a month now for It's a really nice basement apartment. He's done it really, really nicely. It's a two bedroom. And so here's the way he explained it to me, Ken, is because he's getting that income. Now, when we talk about maintenance, so we hire somebody to cut the grass or hire somebody to shovel the snow. Sure. And he hires a cleaning lady. So basically, he's really created his own mini condo Corporation, if you will, through a multiplex at home. So that's another way of doing it,[KEN]:For sure. And the downside of doing that is that you have to manage it, though. That's that's the only thing I mean, the upside is that… Well, not even the upside. It's almost a non starter to me if the numbers don't make sense, if you don't incorporate professional property management in there, Right? If your model doesn't, if your model doesn't work, and it forces you to create a job for yourself, then why you invest in the first place, you're doing an active work instead of passive investment. Right. So we should have factored in the price of vacancies and the price of maintenance as well, too.[CHARLES]:Correct. So math is really important.[KEN]:And it's absolutely so it's really hard for us to I know we're trying to discuss this to try to create some, like a topic to talk about whether we're going to go free all the condo, but at the end of the day, every single opportunity is unique. And it takes warrants further analysis for sure. For sure. And the whole story, again, is to just get started no matter where you are in your in your journey, I guess. Right? So let's switch gears a little bit and do it on the same related note. I guess what kind of quality of tenants do you think you're going to get between the two is going to be the same quality tenants? Or do you think it's gonna be different?[CHARLES]:Another great point there, Ken. And certainly, whether it's a condo or freehold, it depends the location, You know, for talking, you know, but a home in Lawrence Park, you know, I'm looking for clients, you know, the rents there for home and Lawrence Park, or 6-7-8 thousand dollars per month. So I think we know who can afford to pay that kind of money is probably a real occasions, From like presidents, to vice presidents of companies. If you look downtown and the financial core, we know there's younger professionals, As a result of all the jobs moving into downtown gentleman from the tech companies, financial legal accounting. And certainly you've got a great pool of tenants to choose from. From there. So the location, I think, would be critical on the type of attendance, whether it's a condo or freehold. What are your[KEN]:So I mean, with that example, I think that it's kind of hard to compare them side by side like that, right? I mean, how many families willing to pay $8,000 in Lawrence Park are there? Versus the new grad that's just starting to work or actually gainfully employed and looking for that one bedroom, or one plus den, or two bedroom downtown, right. So there's certainly a wider audience of people downtown looking for that. So if you're looking at apples to apples in terms, call it $2,400. And, you know, that's the purchase price of the condo, and it started the rent of the condo, and then the purchase price a certain amount, Let's say if it's double, for the purchase price of a house, that kind of caliber, and you may or may not get double the rent of that, I certainly think you're going to get lower rents in freehold versus a condo downtown.[CHARLES]:So kind of the rule of thumb is a lower price per square foot as a rental and a home versus a condo?[KEN]For sure, because of the lower budget of the tenants, I guess generally, it might translate to low quality. I mean, that's not always true. Obviously, we know that. Just because you don't make the income Right now, it doesn't mean you're not worth a lot of assets, or your family's not worth a lot of states to some of the students from overseas or whatever. There are friends with a ton of assets, a lot more than what you and I have combined, times 10. So, but I guess the general rule of thumb is if they're making less money for the average, then you're looking at lower quality of tenant. Really, I guess?[CHARLES]:Well, you know, I guess it's based on income. And certainly, as we've been talking about, people want to live near where they work. And you know, not everybody works on Bay Street For Big Five accounting firm. So there's different options for different people. And where some of those options could be filled just outside the downtown core. In, for example, in East York, or in Leslieville, for example, or Etobicoke. And even actually, the downtown course a Parkdale there's multiplexes, there were people say in the hospitality industry that are not making the same money, as you know, somebody in legal or in the financial core.[KEN]:Or even even the ones that are and choose to rent. Like the big families out in more residential areas North York, and so forth, right? Lawrence Park and all that. That is a luxury rental, and they're paying 6-7-8-10,000 or more, Right? It's a smaller market for sure. But it's up there.[CHARLES]:Right. So ultimately, the demand for housing and Toronto, it continues, and there's different different options for different people. And you take that into account. And we get back to the math equation, which is, what am I paying for this investment? What's the type of tenant I'm going to get? What's my return? And versus what I get maybe higher price appreciation with a property that has land. But of course, then you have to look after the place, There's a lot of property management issues, less so than in a condo, where it's just peace of mind. It's being run by the condo Corporation. And there's less fuss about managing that.[KEN]:Yeah, exactly. So I don't know, you know, because our recording actually got cut off for the audience out there, we had to do this again, halfway through the thing. So we're not sure where we left off. But I know that we talked about having a one bedroom or sorry, condo is a lot less maintenance versus a house. I mean, although you could budget in, you shouldn't be budgeting the price of property management into it. So that you're factoring that cost into the model doesn't work without property management, it shouldn't work for you at all. Otherwise, you're just creating yourself a job, it’s not an investment.[CHARLES]:Right. And some people would say route, kind of a rule of thumb for freehold property is 1% of the value, annually. Would you subsidize it? Yeah. Would you subscribe to that?[KEN]:Yeah, I wouldn't subscribe to that because there's so many variables into it. I mean, a new home is not gonna have a lot less maintenance than a new one, right. Right. So It really depends on the components, the specific components as replace and repair and kind of do your due diligence as you're going to buy it, right?Anyway, I think we also talked about what a one bedroom condo appreciate fashion and a two bedroom condo, and what should you buy? Right? We missed that comment. I think that got cut off. Right?[CHARLES]:It did get cut off. And we talked to both you an average of one bedroom downtown was about $2,400. And we talked about how a two bedroom will be about $3,500. But once again, we're back to the math on how if you're a couple, you need a bit more space, You want to go for the two bedroom, and then split down the middle that's $1,750 versus someone going solo and renting that place after $2,400 in a one bedroom?[KEN]:Yeah, for sure. So you could get more disposable income, so that the tenants would have more disposable income, which is great. Now there's situations where not everyone's a couple, right? You were talking about right? Joint and severably liable for the for the lease. So that is if you're going there with a roommate and one person decides to leave, Who's in charge of the household taken over?[CHARLES]:Right? Well, obviously to protect, you know, our clients, it's about writing the lease properly. So that those two people renting the place tenants understand that if one of them leaves, then the other one is still on the lease and has to pay the rent and full.[KEN]:Yeah, I totally agree. And, you know, Funny enough, the landlord tenant board doesn't say, they don't have any legislation against roommates. Right. And I mean, it's it's such a case by case basis, more of a civil basis, that they don't have any jurisdiction over roommates. Anyway, we were talking about how, in New York, it's kind of common to use the vocabulary of saying “roommates”, right, not even just “renting” or even “owning” for that matter. Forget to put that all together. But, you know, a lot of people say in their vocabulary, you know, “my rent is so and so”. But more so they added my roommate is so and so. Right, which is pretty unique, because I pretty interesting story. That's where I think Toronto is heading. And you were mentioning all the employment not suffering tough.[CHARLES]:Sure, sure. And we know that all the office space has been built and continues to be built in downtown Toronto. And with these technology, companies like Microsoft relocating from Mississauga to downtown, CNBC, housing 15,000 people in those towers by the Scotiabank Arena, because they know that the people that want to work for them, One of the attractions is to live in downtown Toronto. And certainly that's not only the amenities, but being close to all the great restaurants and events that are happening. And that's what makes it attractive. And what we're finding is, as these new buildings come online, there's a demand for these buildings to be up to be occupied, and the vacancy rates are still low, and the inventory gets sucked up, if you will, as soon as it comes on market.[KEN]:Yeah, I agree that. So We also talked about one of the things about the benefits of being in a condo is that you're closer to the action really closer to downtown, because you're not necessarily going to have all those amenities in the suburbs where an affordable houses and affordable rental is, right. Right, right. And we're also talking about the potential of building something as a strategy for investing, right. So you, if you're part of a development place, say that you buy a multi unit that eventually can be gobbled up, or even any kind of free world for that matter. And you can be gobbled up by the neighbouring parcels to kind of join them up together to create a roadmap. But realistically, you have to have that in mind. Because if you're going to buy something in the suburbs, and you're going to acquire two or three of your neighbours, and you try to build, you know, they're not gonna let you the city's not gonna let you build a big giant apartment building in the suburbs. But if you have a main street with you know, me likely commercial downstairs on a main artery, then you might get those approvals. So you kind of have that that with the goal in mind is an exit strategy.[CHARLES]:For sure. And, you know, obviously, the complications or the additional duties that are required to manage a property with one or two tenants in a condo versus a multiplex.[KEN]:Yeah, that's a, that's a big thing. I mean, I guess, one thing I should say is that, when you have a small multifamily property, you're a little bit more limited, and who you're going to sell it to, you're going to sell to sophisticated investor, or a family that wants a living there, Assuming the tenants in the basement or and you have to get all the tenants out, whether it's the purchaser doing it with the seller doing it, Somebody's going to get all the tenants out to you know, to stage it, to clean it up, to show it well to have access for showings and all that kind of stuff. So you can get on the market properly. Right. So that's also a consideration, you might be waiting a long time for the remaining tenants to leave and be vacant.[CHARLES]:Right? And I just want to point out, Ken, just the concept of buying a property and living in and renting out a basement or an apartment or what have you in the home. That's not a new concept. And It's not I know that my family when they immigrated to to Canada, Their first house who included an extra apartment, and they would live in one part of the house and rented out and we know that that's what people aren't doing as well. So it's not a new concept.[KEN]:No, you're right. Yeah, certainly isn't a new concept. But different though, is that the Toronto see they've changed it sorry, not trying to Ontario, for that matter, because of the need for affordable housing and second suites. They allowed zoning for all to have second suites as long as it needs building code and fire code. So the stock of housing supply has increased, potentially by double, but still not enough for the the pace of growth that we're growing in the city. That being said, Yes, I think having a basement suite for those deciding to supplement their income or have some tenant pay a portion of the mortgage off is great way to invest.[CHARLES]:Right. And I know of a person who's done that, and they couldn't be happier because they move out from a condo, They need extra space, they're having children. And of course, I think we know that, you know, larger condos, can get up there and price. And as well, the maintenance fees. So they look at the option of moving into a home with income potential to help them bridge that gap.[KEN]:For sure. And that's that makes the house definitely more valuable. So On that note, so the good thing about investing into a freedom is that the the potential of increasing the value of to create more income for the investment, I think is a good benefit.[CHARLES]:Yeah, it definitely provides more options. Now those options will could cost money, and more time to make those changes. But it definitely have more options than you would within a condo. But there's nothing wrong with owning an investment condo and having passive income. It's managed. You don't you don't have to look after it. And you move on.[KEN]:For sure. For sure. That's that's definitely a good attraction for condos. And why most people buy condos is because of the price point the the ease of it they the bigger market size, I guess it's a lower price point. So they're easier to be more commoditized, I guess you could say.[CHARLES]:Right. And thank God for condo investors in Toronto. Otherwise, all this stock would not have been built.[KEN]:Correct. And the city would have grown. Yeah, for sure. For Sure. That's that's actually a really good point. That being said, If you know we own several condos, ourselves, and I don't think there's anything wrong with condiment, I love controversy, it's a great way to build equity. Can I ask you, would you rather trade up? Two condos for three condos for a freehold?[CHARLES]:Well, that's that topic of today. I guess it kind of dovetails to what we've been talking about this afternoon can which is you'd have to, we have to do the math and figure out over time, price appreciation. We know for sure, It's going to take more time of your resources. So if you really value your time, I think getting into a multiplex means bigger, a bigger issue more problems and money required to manage those. Not that I would dissuade anybody from doing it. So I think it's always about being well informed about the pros and cons, this we've been talking about, for sure.[KEN]:And I know we've been interrupted number times, so I apologize for that. But I guess we also talked about building in the price of a property manager. So if you have a good property manager, they are able to take those headaches away from you for a fee, obviously. But of course, if you build it into your cost, then it's possible. So it can still be passive, and you still can get the other ways to exit the the investment or other kind of benefits of owning property, not just increased rents. It'll be through other avenues.[CHARLES]:Right. So and we're getting back to the whole location. You wants three condos in downtown Toronto, and a multiplex say in the suburbs? I think goes that's a different equation.[KEN]:Yeah. I don't know about the summers but multiplies downtown or closer to the city, maybe jumping up one tier of, I guess from A, B, C to D, I guess joined down one rank would be okay, but not going down to rank. So that makes sense. But from A to B to C, right. From A to B? Yeah, that's okay. I wouldn't mind. I'd probably do that. And I guess it's every every property is case by case every situation is different.So I think the summary at the end of day is just get started.[CHARLES]:No question about it.[KEN]:The only way to do it. I think if you have a small condo, that's more commoditized, you can start If you don't own anything now, buy one of those things, buy two of them, buy three of them, let it grow and let it like plant that seed and let it grow like a little flower.[CHARLES]:Right. And then it provides you with options Above multiplexes as a result of taking that initial step.[KEN]:You can take those budding things of the flower and trade into turn into a tree and all that kind of stuff. That's it. I guess. Just get started.[CHARLES]:Get Started.[KEN]:All right, Charlie, good talking to you today. Thanks. Thanks for joining me on this podcast. And I guess we'll talk soon.

Please enjoy:"This House Supports No Platforming"Tune in next week for our debate on the success of Cuba.

Stranger Things on sarja, joka tarjoaa ainutlaatuisen yhdistelmän scifiä, hupia ja jännitystä. Sarja sijoittuu USA:n sydänmaille, se alkaa vuodesta 1983, jolloin pienen Hawkinsin kaupungin liepeillä olevasta tutkimuslaitoksesta karkaa jotain pelottavaa. Pian aletaan tutkia lähellä asuvan pikkupojan katoamista, parhaiten asioista perillä tuntuvat olevan hänen kolme ystäväänsä. Fantasialautapeli Dungeons & Dragons pelanneet ystävykset huomaavat pian, että todellisuus ylittää heidän kuvitelmansa. Sarjan luojat, Dufferin veljekset ovat syntyneet vuonna 1984 eivätkä ole peitelleet fanisuhdettaan sellaisiin tuon aikakauden fantasian ja kauhun mestareihin kuin Steven Spielberg, Stephen King ja John Carpenter. Yhdellä tavalla Stranger Things on nostalgiatrippi ET:n, Carrien, Manaajan, X-Filesin, Kolmannen asteen yhteyden ja Indiana Jonesin maailmoihin. Sarja onkin loistokkaan viihdyttävä sekä teknisesti että ilmaisullisesti. Mitä muuta Stranger Thingsistä löytyy, sitä kohden mennään tässä Television tiiliskivien jaksossa. JP Pulkkisen vieraana on elokuvaohjaaja Hannaleena Hauru. Toimittajana J.P. Pulkkinen
