Tracie Curtis, Guelph, Ontario Spot where stressed calves get their tension release. The calf muscle (gastrocnemius) tenses and releases with the shortening and stretching of the achilles, which is the tendon just below the calf. BTW, calves (cows) have a gastrocnemius muscle somewhat similar to ours. Iliad's symbol of rage and caprice. As portrayed by Homer in the Iliad (8 th century BC poem), Achilles was the impulsive, angry and capricious protagonist who lost control of his pride and emotions. Calcaneus cause Of one's critical flaws. The calcaneus is the heel bone. Our modern-day reference to one's “Achilles heel” as a critical flaw or failing comes from Achilles the Greek warrior, who was killed by an arrow to his vulnerable heel. When he was baby, his mother had tried to make him indestructible by dipping him in the magical River of Styx, but she missed the spot on his heel where she was holding him. Doh! Mightiest mortal of mythical Greece. In Greek mythology, Achilles was considered the greatest of all mortal warriors and the hero of the Trojan War. Yes, Hercules was a pretty mighty Greek too, but he was only half mortal, since his Dad was Zeus. Stressed Calf Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ana Konda is a Macedonian born musician based in Toronto. She's an odd jobs-woman, a daughter and a friend, currently 27 years old. Her no-f*cks-given attitude has earned her a reputation as someone to not f*ck with. Raised in the Balkan organized crime underbelly known as East York, she is no stranger to salacious scandals and disturbed individuals. The dimly lit alleys and dubious characters make for an atmosphere so deeply unsettling, Kafka-esque, and Lynchian, that even huge dudes feel unsafe. For Ana, though, it's no big deal. She's never felt fear. I asked her if she knew what fear meant and she said she'd never heard that word before. Her upcoming solo EP, Trauma Porn, is a coming-of-age narrative-based exploration of sexuality and violence in early womanhood. Her sound, which is unique as hell, weaves together Euro-style beats, intricate guitar riffs, and deeply personal lyrics. The EP will be dropping this summer but if you listen to this episode, you can hear a sneak preview (which is exclusive, by the way.) When she's not making music or strolling through the east end, Ana is likely hanging with her fabulous group of girlfriends who text regularly in an iMessage group chat. They like to share and describe their dreams with one another and hardcore analyze them. The dreams that these gals are having at night are extremely vivid, much more so than my dreams or yours. Like, super vivid...

TUNE INTO THE TOWN: FORD GOVERNMENT SETTING UP WORKING GROUP TO DEAL WITH AG REPORT 12:00-12:30 Marissa Lennox is joined by Lisa Raitt, former deputy leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, Glenn De Baeremaeker, a former Toronto City Councillor and Deputy Mayor and George Smitherman, former Ontario Liberal MPP for Toronto Centre who also served as a health minister and deputy Premier. Meanwhile, it's Tuesday, and we're kicking things off with our assembly of Recovering Politicians and a lot has happened since we last spoke with them, none more conspicuous than the lingering Greenbelt issue, which doesn't seem to be going away any time soon. The very latest is an announcement by the Ford government to establish a working group to deliver a quote “comprehensive response to the report” – a top priority for the government. But what's the actual deal here? Is this just a sideshow to divert attention from the fact that they're resolutely treading the path toward development – the result is the same. We'll also delve into fresh numbers from Angus Reid: Trudeau's crew is trailing Pierre Poilievre's opposition by a seven-point gap. And we're halfway home in this federal election cycle. So, how much weight should we give this? And what do you think about Pierre Poilievre's new look? Is he beginning to resonate with you personally? CANADA'S INFLATION RATE UP AGAIN 12:30-12:45 pm Marissa Lennox is now joined by Moshe Lander, Senior Lecturer of Economics at Concordia University in Montreal. Let's shift our attention to the economy for a moment. Canada's inflation rate climbed to 3.3 percent come July. It's a drop from the peak of 8.1 percent we saw last summer, but it's a step up from the 2.8 percent just last month. So what's the key takeaway from these numbers? Let's bring in Moshe Lander, Senior Lecturer of Economics at Concordia University in Montreal. SOME TORONTO TENANTS ARE RENT STRIKING 12:45 to 1 pm Marissa Lennox is now joined by Khalil, a resident at Thorncliffe Park Drive and an organizer of Thorncliffe Park Tenants and Adnan Subzwari, Associate with Mills and Mills LLP. Tenants in a Thorncliff Park apartment complex, situated just North of East York in Toronto, have taken a stand by refusing to pay rent. Their protest stems from rental increases of nearly 10 percent over the past two years. The rent strike has been going on for four months now, and is the second in Toronto spurred on by above-guideline rent increases. One of the residents of the three-building apartment complex, who lives there with his family, Khalil Aldroubi, joined us to discuss.

Another guest episode! Last year, as part of Urban Agriculture Week in Toronto, I visited Maria Solakofski's garden in East York, and I found myself signing up for a workshop just so I could return days later. Listen in and I think you'll get a sense of why. Maria is an herbalist and educator growing a wildly abundant garden according to permaculture principles. She sells tisanes, skincare, and other herbal products, and runs workshops and a mentorship program out of her East York yard.You'll find this episode runs a bit longer than the other guest episodes, because we covered three gardens — and if you like listening as much as I liked being there, I don't want to cut it short. Tune in to learn a bit about permaculture, but also unique berries, growing in containers, soil amendment, and cooperating with wildlife. The episode also feature's the pod's first-ever groundhog guest. If you'd like to learn more about Maria and her garden, check out her website, Wild by Nature, to learn more about her offerings. I hope you enjoyed soaking in her knowledge and enthusiasm, and you too always remember her prompt to enjoy something you don't strictly need: “But wouldn't it be nice?” Lastly, I can't seem to record a guest podcast without an audio problem (

Early in 2023, I set up a Zoom call for several youth coaches in the Greater Toronto Area. We were there to talk about practice ideas and it was a successful meetup. Some of us wanted to do a follow-up, but I was at a loss for a topic to discuss.That's when I heard from Mike Smith of the Lindsay (Ont.) Curling Club. He wanted to know how other people handled a wide range of kids with different ages, skill levels and experience. How do you run a curling program that fits all those kids?Mike Gregotski, longtime friend of the podcast from High Park Club, joined us on Zoom. But our conversation didn't just stay in one place – we talked about other topics like "Hit Draw Tap," youth in adult leagues and the fun of youth bonspiels.

Today's guest has a special place in the HIROC archives. Sarah Downey was our first guest on Healthcare Change Makers when we turned on the mike in 2018. The years that followed that fun interview have been busy for Sarah. For 7 and a half years she was the CEO of Michael Garron Hospital where she shepherded the hospital through a major redevelopment project that included the newly opened Thomson Centre. Six months ago, Sarah made the decision to move into the President and CEO position at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, better known as CAMH. Leaving Michael Garron and the East York community was tough, but the pull to the mission of CAMH was stronger. Sarah believes mental health is the most important health issue of our lifetime. It's a new place and a new culture to learn about, but Sarah always comes back to the importance of being human and being vulnerable in a leadership role. Where talking to people in the coffee line-up is one of the most important things you can do as a CEO. Quotables “You forget until you have to make those transitions how emotional they are.” – SD ”It's thrilling to see these latest two buildings. The spaces are bright and airy. They're respectful, and focused on recovery, healing and dignified care.” – SD “It's not just a one in five who will get mental illness in their lifetime. It's in everybody's family. It's in all your social circles, in all your employees. It's everywhere.” – SD “I had forgotten until I came back how many people call to get advice on how to navigate the system.” – SD “Who's more important for us to invest in than our young people? They are our future and we need them to be healthier and more resilient.” “You need to regularly connect with people, use a bit of humour. They want to know that their leader is real.” – SD “It's become even more important the last few years to find a break and a space, but what an opportunity to learn.” - SD “I hold my dad's lessons in my heart every day and try to act in a way that would always do him proud.” – SD “We should tell people every day in the moment how much they mean to us and how they're helping us change our lives.” – PDS Mentioned in this episode: Michael Garron Hospital CAMH: The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health The history of the Toronto Lunatic Asylum Dr. Hilda Tremblett Princess Margaret Cancer Centre - UHN Dr. J.

In episode two we chat about our current favorite candle brands under $30 with the disclaimer that we are two women in a world with thousands of candle companies - we haven't even scratched the surface yet so consider this our first of many chats about affordable candle brands we love. In this episode we chat about four companies we've tried and wholeheartedly recommend. Roen - favorite scents: Ojai Nuit and Bisou Bisou East York Street - favorite scents: Tomato & Tobacco Leaf, Rosemary & Oud, the entire limited Wes Anderson collection - fingers crossed Hannah makes more! PF Candle - favorite scents: Teakwood & Tobacco, Swell, Dusk Borough Home - favorite scent: Night Fever Unofficial Sponsor: PF Candle - use the promo code HOSMER to save 15% on pfcandleco.com Ashley's favorite PF Candle items: large Teakwood & Tobacco candle, incense cones, hand & body wash Diane's favorite PF Candle items: Dusk & Moonrise candles from the Sunset collection And a huge shoutout to friend of the pod, Dominique, for helping name our candle rating system. We will be reviewing candles based on our Triple Wick theory. This looks at the overall aesthetics (which includes the vessel, packaging, branding and unboxing experience), the quality (ingredients, throw, how well it burns, and scent complexity), and lastly the price point - is it affordable, mid tier or luxury - to determine how many wicks get awarded to each candle. So a candle that just has one thing going for it will have small wick energy, a candle that has two out of the three will have big wick energy and a candle with all three will be our elusive magnum. Thank you so much Dominique for helping us name this! Give Dominique a follow on instagram @dommdotcom.

I'm Brian Stockton. I'm James Woodingham. This week, some facts to compare fossil fuel and land use with renewables. Your racist cycle is not going to be happy. The founder and former CEO of Nicola Motors has been found guilty of fraud. Turns out rolling a truck down a hill and pretending it works can get you in trouble. It may get more expensive to charge an EV overnight. And it has nothing to do with the fact that I now get up to pee six times a night. The country of Greece runs on 100% renewable energy. For the first time, the Olympic torch is lit by the sun. So why not all the lights in the country, too? Oh, that is so much more on this edition of The Clean Energy Show. Well, welcome to the podcast, everyone. Also this week, VW has hired you and a Gregor to help them sell EVs. Brian has his first ever book report. Looking forward to that. And a corporation based where Brian and I live is betting big on nuclear revival thanks to the war in Ukraine and other factors. You sound funny this week, Brian. Are you under the weather? Yeah, I got a cold. How do you know? I thought colds were eradicated. Yeah, this is my second cold since the start of the pandemic. Are you looking telephone poles? What's going on here? Yeah, well, we took a plane trip, as you know, last weekend, to Whistler. I knew you would get diseased. Yeah, I mean, I was kind of worried we'd get coveted. Didn't get coveted, but we caught a cold. My partner got it first. I was a few days behind. I thought I may have escaped it, but it's starting kind of yesterday and my head is slowly filling up with fluid. It's rather unpleasant. Oh, no. You remember before COVID when you used to fly? No. It always seemed like I would always get a cold whenever I flew somewhere. I don't know. I mean, everybody trapped on an airplane like that and not wearing that. They say that air is recirculated and filtered, but I don't think it's just too close to quarters. Do you put on an air in your face? Because I'm always a bit warm on planes. Like I make sure I get the air going on my face. Do you do that? Yes. And we discussed that as we got on the plane because I said to my partner, well, wait a minute. Is this like, COVID filled air that I'm putting in my face or is this fresh, clean air? And it has just gone through the filter. So presumably that is the fresh, clean air. It always smells fresher to me. It always smells like it's mixed like a car vent, like it's mixed in with outdoor air. I don't know that it is. It'd be nice if it was, but there's not enough oxygen up there at 35 0ft to do that mixed in with new plain smelling. I think I would just wear the oxygen mask. Just drop the oxygen mask and put that on for the trip. Well, that would be fantastic. They should just let us have those. It should be enhanced air with nice, relaxing demerol vaporized or something that just puts you at ease and wake up wherever you're going. Guess what? The pipeline plane flew over the other day. I walked up my front door and there it was looking at me. Well, so it's mac, which is a relief. Perhaps why I haven't noticed it is I noticed because I went to my app and it's fine a few hundred feet higher than it was before. It's fine at 200ft before. Yeah. Now it's up to 500ft. I don't know if that has anything to do with the crash that was fatal. Yeah. To recap, James has a pipeline behind his house and there's a plane that inspects it pretty much every day. But, yeah, there was a crash of one of these planes not that long ago and so it disappeared for a while. And you say now that it's back, it's actually flying higher? Yeah. I mean, it could be the same plane. I don't know that it's the one that crashed or if they were grounded or if they re looked at how they did these things, but it seemed like it was gone for a few weeks because I noticed it. It's hard to say how often it came. It seemed to vary, but it was multiple times a week, I would say, and I do live in a city, it doesn't inspect it that often outside the city? Just inside the city. It has frequent flights and that goes right back to the airport 10 minutes later. Well, you always hear about these pipelines and I don't know, sometimes they're leaking for probably hours or even days before anybody notices. Well, let's get to some updates to some of the stories that we've talked about over the past. There's a few. This week we were talking about PM Trust. Yeah. The new UK prime Minister. And I called her dumb dumb dumb last week. Yeah, she's really dumb. And that's because she doesn't like the site of solar panels on farms and she was going to kibash solar everywhere. How dumb can you be? I ask. And, well, turns out the country is in agreement. Not for that reason, but mostly for other reasons. In fact, how is this Trust doing? 83% say badly, 15% say, well, should she resign? 55% say yes, and I'm in that 55%. Although who knows who they're going to get in their place. But come on. There's so much data for renewables being a good thing in this energy crisis, like saving billions over the summer, reducing the amount of Russian gas imports by 13% from the growth of it. It's just crazy. I mean, there's all kinds of numbers you can look at. We talked about Tesla not having their full selfdriving beta software, which you use, being applicable in downtown Toronto. You mentioned that before, but now it sounds like it will be. Yeah, this is a while ago. So Toronto has streetcars, one of the few, maybe only city in Canada that has streetcars. Yeah. The full self driving software thus far has not known how to deal with streetcars. And so, just to be safe, Tesla has basically geofenced the software. So anywhere downtown Toronto, where there is streetcars, you can't use full selfdriving beta until they figure out how to program in streetcars. And yeah, apparently they're getting close because rumors that the geofence will be removed soon. Yeah. I was watching one of these informational videos on YouTube about how Toronto is a car city. And these streetcars everywhere, these have them in Mount Pleasant, where my friend Dan lives up north and all kinds of different places, and they had a vote to get whether they keep them or not. Everybody resoundingly wanted them. So what they do, they get rid of them. They wanted to make room for more cars. They built the subway to make room for more cars. That's what I was thinking. Was it's too bad, because out here in the west, canada is kind of sparsely populated, and our cities are kind of spread out. But in the central or eastern part of Canada, like Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, that's the densest population that we have in Canada. So Toronto, particularly, there's several million people that live in Toronto, a lot of them in the concentrated in the downtown core. So public transit is a no brainer. Subways and streetcars are a no brainer, and, you know, they've done fairly well at that. But yes, surprisingly, it is still kind of a car city. But I have been watching a YouTube channel, can't think of the name of it right now, but there is a guy, a transit nerd in Toronto, who's reporting on all of the transit projects. So things actually do look bright. I think things are improving. There are subway expansions planned and streetcar light rail expansions planned. They have lots of stuff in the works. And they've added a lot of bike lanes, too. That's really a positive sign. Definitely. You and I lived there ten or 15 years ago, and there wasn't that many bike lanes 20 years ago. I guess more than 20 years ago for me. Jesus. Oh, my God. Wow. Yeah. I mean, it was still kind of fun to bike in Toronto. I remember you and I biked there's a nice path down by the waterfront. You and I bike down and watch the fireworks one night. That was a lot of fun. The only thing is that it borders the Dawn Valley Parkway, which is a freeway, and you get all the exhaust and all the pollution. Yeah. As a prairie boy, it was very disconcerting to see the distant trees obscured by smog, which just sort of gathered in the valley like that and Stunky. There's a smell to it always. But a lot of people die. Cyclists die in Toronto, so it's not a safe place. But I remember cycling downtown. I lived adjacent to downtown, and East York used to take a half hour to get to the heart of downtown by bike, which was more enjoyable in the summertime than taking the subway and waiting and getting stuff like Sardines somewhere and whole noise of everything. But, yeah, bike lanes are tough in cities like that. But it's also got the busiest freeway in North America, too. The 401 is national. Yeah, massive, massive freeway. Dozens of lanes. It seems like the Kia EV six. Now, I was shocked to learn that that came out almost 18 months ago now, on the spring of 21. I thought it was in the last three quarters of a year for some reason. Maybe it's because I heard about it and I didn't pay much attention to it because it was a similar vehicle to the Onik Five. Although it's not a direct comparison, necessarily, in aesthetics and appeal. They sold only 6100 units of that worldwide in September. And if that isn't shocking enough, that's actually down from the year before. Down? Yeah. Well, I assume it's just because it's production, not sales. I mean, I'm sure they can sell everyone that they make. They just need to make more of them. Yeah, they're not but that's a major problem. Brian, that gets my trombone of the Week. Yes, thank you for the emphasis. I'm very disgusted by this. So the narrow EVs sold 4500. The sole EVs outside of this is outside of South Korea. The sole EV sold a whopping. Are you sitting down? Yes, you are. The Sole EV. Tell me something. You can't sit there and your pompous Kia asked and tell me that they're not Asianizing EVs, that they're not taking the same sort of ideas Japan and saying, we don't believe in them because they're making great avs and pisses me off so bad. I watched a football game and NFL game, and there was nothing but EV ads, including the Onik Five. Great ad, great car. Can I buy it? Nope, you can't buy it. Why are you advertising it? There's lots of other stories like that, too. Why are they selling them? Why are they pretending that they can sell them? Are they trying to get people into the dealership to sell combustion engines? I mean, what's going on? Are they just trying to look like they're advanced or do they just not give a crap? And I think they're probably trying to stop people from going to EVs that are available. So if you're a loyal Kia or Hyundai owner, then you can think to yourself, okay, well, there's Kias on the horizon. There's some reviews out lately on the web of the Ionic Six, which is the upcoming Hyundai. But it's not coming till next year. But they've let out some sort of review models and there's lots of YouTube reviews and yeah, it looks like a great car, but again, it's not going to be available for at least a year. It's premature to even do that. I'm going to forget about it by the time I could actually order one. I mean, it's going to be ancient history. But it also looks like a great car. Well, yeah, of course it is. That's the frustrating part. If they weren't great cars, it wouldn't be so frustrating. Wouldn't it? But they're making great cars. They seem to know what they're doing. But have they secured the batteries? Do they want to make them? Doesn't seem that way. Yeah. Well, we have an update coming up later on from VW that addresses some some of these issues. And when you can buy them, you certainly can't buy them where Brian and I live because we're not in a Zev zero emission vehicle jurisdiction or anything like that, and we're not in Europe, so that kind of sucks. Yeah. You have one here. Greece was powered by renewables. Yeah, I just always like good news stories like this. It's going to become more prevalent. So at a certain point, we will have to stop reporting on these because it's just too common an event. But yeah. Greece, for around 5 hours ran on 100% renewables on October 7. Yeah, I just love stories like that because it's a sign of things to come. It shows us that this stuff is working. I assume the people who are against clean energy take it the opposite way, like, well, it only ran for 5 hours. That doesn't count. We get the 2050 people. I tell you, when our jurisdiction runs on 100% renewables for 10 seconds. I'll soil my dance on the podcast. No, that'll be a day for celebration. We'll have some championships. Tell you what, dig up my corpse and put a birthday cake on it when that happens because it's going to be something from Bloomberg. Carbon capture projects hit a record. So the pipeline of carbon capture projects rises to 153. Pardon me, 30 are operational right now, including one in our jurisdiction, which is at a coal plant, one of the first in the world. And it's not performing up the specs at all. Planned projects that are planned, remember, not existing, but planned, would mitigate less than 1% of CO2 emissions. And the problem, in addition to just being 100%, is that it continues investments in fossil fuels. It's another way of prolonging fossil fuels, which, as anyone who listens to the show on a regular basis knows, makes James angry. James doesn't want to be angry. Takes days off my life. Brian well, as I've said before, I was kind of in favor of this because we are a coal burning place where we live. And they started talking about this 2025 years ago, and back then, it's like, oh, that kind of makes sense because we just didn't know enough back then. It was exciting. I was excited. It was very exciting at the time. But also, bureaucracies are lumbering and slow, so it took them forever to get it off the ground. And now that these things are running, we know that they're just too expensive and they don't produce the results. So let's just buy solar panels with the money instead. I remember when they opened it, they invited dignitaries from around the world into a tent. But it has a weird vibe. It's like there was no one commenting on it, no one's had anything to say. And they were hoping to export the technology. Not only did they invest billions of dollars, but they wanted to export that technology, which I'm sure they've learned a couple of things that they can export and maybe patent. But critics argue that it's expensive, ineffective technology that just prolongs the life of fossil fuels, which I'm sure our local governments here would love to do. Yeah. And I guess there was a possibility that they could take what they learned and refine the technology and make it cheaper and make it more viable, but so far, that has not been the case. Well, I'm excited, Brian, because it's time for a brand new segment on the show. the first time you've sang on a sink and probably the last. Hey, I harmonize with myself. Yeah, I watched my friend Who Can Sing do that for video projects that I used to work on. So I tried it and it kind of worked. But, you know, next time you got multiple tracks there if you want to let's play that again. Yeah, because we may never hear it again. So yeah, I have to play it twice. Well, it seems unlikely. Yeah. It's not often that it's going to be appropriate to talk about a book. I mean, how many can you read? You're just retired. Yeah, and I certainly don't typically read books about climate or clean energy or climate change or whatever, but this one is an exception because it's a picture book, which barely even counts as a book. It's a graphic novel, really. It's a graphic memoir. So this is a book called Ducks my memoir. Two Years in the Oil Sands. Yeah. Ducks. Two years in the oil sands. And it's by Kate Beaton, and it is published by my favorite publisher, which is Drawn in Quarterly. They publish graphic novels of all different kinds. That's a good name for a publishing company that publishes Drawn In Quarterly. They're the best. But yeah, this book is really great. So Kate Beaton is an artist from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. From here in Canada. The east coast of Canada. And she graduated from university with a history degree around 15 years ago or so. And graduated with a mountain of student debt. And so she was kind of looking at the jobs that were available to her with a history degree, like working in museums and stuff, and she was like, oh my God, I'm going to be 90 years old by the time I pay off my student debt. So she like a lot of people from Cape Breton, from Newfoundland, from the east coast of Canada, took a job in the oil sands of Canada, which is here in Alberta, next door to us in Alberta. This is kind of based around the city of Fort McMurray, kind of northern Alberta. That's the kind of base for many of these oil sands operations, which are, as we discussed before, the dirtiest oil on the planet comes from there. The amount of energy you have to expend to extract this oil because it's all mucked up with sand and everything. So it's a very, you know, carbon intensive, energy intensive way to get oil out of the ground. But, you know, with the price of oil, it's been a lucrative place for many years. So, yeah, she spent two years in the oil sands, paid off her student debt, which is the happiest part of the book, like she did completely after two years. Wow. Yeah, you make a lot of money. You're often provided housing. Sometimes you live in the town of Fort McMurray, which is a fairly big town, so that's kind of civilized. But quite often you work on site or you work in these work camps where the oil rigs are and all this stuff. So it's kind of isolated work, and you'll often work like twelve days on and have two days off, that kind of thing. And yeah, with your housing kind of paid for, you can just bank a lot of money or spend it on cocaine, which is apparently a thing that also happens a lot. I never said that again. Yeah, it's a really beautiful book. There are many things about it that are heartbreaking, but yeah, it's just awesome. Highly recommended. It's a real honest portrait of what goes on in the oil sands. So there's sad parts about it, but also funny parts and fun parts, and there's a real humanity to it. Highly recommend. Well, send me a link and I'll put it in the show notes for Gosh. Thanks. So check your show notes, people. I assume that there will be a link close to the top of the notes there. Okay. Because my son's got a buddy who was in psychology at our local university. He switched over to history and I just, my God, that's worse than film. You and I did, I felt chills come over me. It was kind of bad, like, you poor bastard. Psychology. We need lots of people in psychology more than ever. History, not so much. Yeah. And the author, Kate Bean, she's most known for a book and a website called heart of Vagrant, which is history based. She sort of did these humorous cartoons about history, which she knows a lot about because she has a history degree. But if you've ever wondered what life is like in the oil sands, this is probably your best chance to find out what that's like. Well, there's a new Stanford University study that Forbes had a piece about. It about EV charging at night may not stay cheap through the EV adoption curve. Now, the thinking is that with everybody having EVs, they're all going to charge at night. So the power, they're not going to have excess power at night. They're going to have enough or they're going to have to keep up even. I don't know how much you drive, but I might charge like an hour or two a day. You know, a lot of things that I'll just charge an hour or two. I'm not talking to people with long commutes or buying EVs to save money, and that's obviously a different story. And highway travel and vacations. But typically, I mean, statistically people travel 2030, 40 miles a day, and that's an hour or two of charging, essentially. And, you know, we come home and we turn on our clothes dryers and our ovens every night and the grid doesn't go down. So we've gained a lot of efficiencies in those things too, right? Yeah, I guess the only issue would be that they're used to having very low usage overnight. So a lot of the systems within the grid are planned for that. But they should be able to tweak those plans and make more power available overnight. Well, here's what they said. They said that the researchers estimate the impact of rising EV ownership in the western United States could boost power demand by as much as 25% by 2035. That's the year when California has banned the sale of new gasoline vehicles. Doesn't mean they're all going to be EVs by then, of course. It just means that you can't go out and buy one. So charging after eleven will get more expensive, they figure, and push utility operators to boost their power generation. They say that more EV charging should be done during midday hours, ideally at work or public stations. Now this is when maybe this is not necessarily every day, right, but when the solar. There's days when they have access. Solar. It's already happening in California. We talked about it. Lots of news stories talk about it. So when wind and solar power suppliers are at their peak, sometimes producing more energy than the grid can even handle. So California is set to have 5 million EVs by 2030. That's about 30% market share level. It's coming. And at that point, the electrical grid will experience significant stress, they think, according to that, unless there's increased capacity or behavioral changes. But this gets me to thinking, Brian, that we're going to just need a smarter grid, we're going to have to start thinking and being incentivized to charge when there is excess solar, when there is, because if I had a normal EV that you could buy for 4500 range, I would probably charge it once a week in the summertime, right? I mean, I wouldn't charge it very often. Well, maybe I wait until I get a note on my app saying power is free for the next 2 hours. So I take up my other app and my EV starts charging. Maybe something like that, maybe that's a little too cute and easy, maybe, but we're going to have to maybe in order to accommodate renewables start because we're always doing it. They're already experiments, like you had a story a week or two ago about government's utility controlling thermostats as an experiment, right. So when they have access, when they don't have enough power, they adjust your thermostat a little bit and they did that voluntarily in California. So I know by having electric vehicles capable of charging to the grid, discharging to the grid, that's another thing, right. I mean, that would maybe even offset a lot of the problems when you have those little peaks because these that are charged might be able to backfire and if they make it worth your while financially and I think they would, that could help flatten the curve. Yeah, downsides to having all those EVs on the grid, but also potential upsides. Yeah. And then there's school buses on city buses and things like that that will be sitting around and able to pick up because a lot of times you build a grid for the worst case scenario. Now if you got a million EVs out there that can cover that, worst case, 10 minutes or something like that, then it really changes the game. So, yeah, I'm just starting to think like that. The average mileage per day, by the way, is 20 miles in the UK, 37 miles in the United States, and EVs won't be charging more than once or twice every week or two. So looking forward to that. Plus your battery doesn't get messed with as much if you're not charged as much. Certainly a lot more charging for us in the winter when it's deadly cold. So Nikola is back in the news now. We used to talk about Nicola all the time when we started our podcast two and a half years ago. Anyway, I mean, it was an exciting potential good thing. It was the rivian of, let's say long distance semi trucks. But no. Yeah, so this has been going through the courts for quite a while, but Trevor Milton was the founder of Nikola Motors and one of the founders and was the CEO. And yeah, he's now guilty of fraud, three of four counts, guilty on three or four counts, basically guilty of pumping the stock. So Nicola was working on like a hydrogen semitruck and this is the most fun story is that they just rolled it down a hill and shot video of it and sort of tricked everyone into believing that they had a working prototype, which they did not. And then at other things, like they would show these trucks and vehicles at shows, and people with an eagle eye would spot that there would hey, wait, this is plugged into an electrical cord underneath there. So they were just fudging the truth. But when you're a publicly traded company, you're not really allowed to fudge the truth like that, and it ends up with fraud charges and guilty. But Nicola still exists. This is a real company. They still have hundreds or perhaps even thousands of employees working on, I think, less hydrogen and more battery electric now, but they are do you think they'll try to dig themselves out of this hole? You think they'll come up with an electric pickup truck anytime soon? I'm not picking up truck with a truck long distance. Yeah, I think there's a good chance. Like, even when all this controversy was happening, I sort of thought to myself, well, wait a minute, I mean, there's still a giant headquarters here and there's still hundreds of people working there. They have to be working on something. It's not like they're all just sitting around drinking coffee all day. I still hope for the best for Nikola, because the more players we have in this space, the better. Yeah, especially with long distance trucking. But they were hoping to have hydrogen powered trucks and build out their own hydrogen network of not just seem like a daunting prospect financially and logistically, and they would get an awful lot of people backing them in order to do that because it's tough. Just like Tesla, they could start with pre prescribed routes between bottlers and distribution centers and stuff like that. Grocery stores and distribution centers that are unknown length and maybe not even too long, but it's just even had places that were going to fix them on the road, too. We even had a series of shops that were ready to fix them. Yeah, and also at the time, like, it really wasn't clear that even though this is just a few years ago, that battery electric semis, people weren't sure how viable that would be. So as we reported last week, the first deliveries of the Tesla semi are going to be on December 1. I think there are other big trucks out there, so we'll know soon that battery electric should work for semi truck. Now, last week, I touched on sort of this myth that goes around that land use of renewables is a bad thing. How can we possibly power grid? What are we going to do, cover every square inch of solar and wind turbines? And then I pointed out the fact, and this is the fact that there is more land use by oil and gas right now than what it would take to. Have a renewable energy in the world. So there's no recent studies. But I came across, and this is actually when I was making the TikTok video for that segment, I came across a study which I found interesting, and now it's already seven years old. It was published in 2015. It was peer reviewed and published in the scientific journal Science. And it estimated that 30 0 km² have been lost to oil and gas well pads, storage tanks and associated roads just in the period from 2000 to 2015, just in that 15 year period, 30,000 km² just for oil and gas. So the amount that that is the equivalent of lost range lands is equivalent of approximately 5 million animal units per month. I don't want to think about what that is. I think I know. And the amount of biomass lost in croplands is equivalent of 122,000,000 bushes of wheat, something we have here where we live. Lots of wheat. So the thing is, the 3 million land lost is likely, unlike renewables, long lasting and potentially permanent. Permanent, yes. Because this is toxic. What's left is toxic. Yeah. We mentioned a hydrogen plant that's trying to build on an old oil and gas, I don't know, what do they call it? A gray site or there's a brown site. Brownfield. They call it brown field. It's like a gas station, a corner gas station type of house. Where there was a corner gas station, that land is contaminated forever. Yeah, but if you put in an EV charging supercharger there, you take it out, it's fine. You take a wind turbine out, fine. Solar farm. You can not only have agriculture taking place under the solar panels, you take them out and it becomes a farm again or whatever you want. Disneyland. So the gas power plants themselves occupy a rather small landscape footprint. It says you must take into account that those power plants also require significant infrastructure to operate well pad, storage tanks, pipelines access roads and refineries, just to name a few. The pipeline behind my house goes on for many hundreds of kilometers and I can't imagine the hectares that it in itself takes up. But you cannot do anything on it. I know, because I get a pamphlet in the mail every ten days telling me I can't so much fart on it because they don't want me to. I can't bring in a back loader because I don't have an alleyway here. I can't bring in a small tractor, I can't bring in anything at all they don't want because I talked to them on the phone, because I get, you know how you dial before you dig while I do that. And guess who calls? The pipeline companies actually call when I do that, put out that request to put in my above ground swimming pool and yeah, they tell me you can't do anything like that. Nothing at all. So they kill the gopher. So the ledge is pointless. They mow it. They do go over with a tractor and mow it once a month. But other than that so the Department of Energy estimates the amount of land used by wind turbines would require 3200 square kilometers, or 790,000 acres by 2050 when we met our Paris climate targets. And that's roughly a 10th of the land used by oil and gas, which is yes, electricity could be coming from wind for a 10th of the land used by oil and gas. And that's just in the States, right? So the National Renewable Energy Lab, 1 Ha or two five acres is what you need per gigawatt hour of solar generation, if you want to talk solar now. So for 3 million Ha lost oil and gas in that 15 year period, you could put up solar power that would generate 75% of America's total annual electricity generation output. You can put it anywhere. You don't put on farmland. You can put on rooftops. You can run schools, factories, and you should be and I don't know why they're not. Remember, this is just oil and gas. This doesn't even talk about other fossil fuels like coal or entire mountaintops are removed. So that's my story on that. This is a clean energy show with Brian Stockton and James Winningham. All right, so Volkswagen this week. So we were talking before about Hyundai and Kia maybe not making that many battery electric vehicles, even though they're quite great. But I thought this was worth mentioning. We've mentioned Volkswagen's output before, but, yeah, Volkswagen is on track to make 500,000 EVs by the end of this year. So 500,000 output in a year, that's behind Tesla, which is going to be around 1.4 million. So just between those two companies, that's around 2 million battery electric vehicles. So this is starting to ramp up. Volkswagen is taking this seriously, and they're taking it so seriously, they've hired you and McGregor as their next spokesperson. And of course, we talked about that show that was on Apple TV called The Long Way Down. A long way up. Yeah. Great show. Excellent show. If anyone's interested, you and McGregor likes to do these tours on motorcycles. So that's the newest iteration of that show. I think there's been three seasons, and it's on Apple TV Plus. And they started at the tip of South America and drove up to California, I think it was, on electric motorcycles and with prototype rivian electric pickup trucks just for the scenery, but also to see if it could be done electric. And it turned out to be an awesome show. So, yes, clearly, Ewan McGregor is an EV enthusiast. He's a big Volkswagen enthusiast. He owns several Volkswagens that he's restored, including one that is a 1954 Beetle that he had converted to electric. So he drives a 54 electric Beetle around Los Angeles. And so, yeah, I think that's kind of fun. Yes. I will point out that there are three iterations of this series, but they started like 20 years ago. So when they flash back, he's very young and Same has a buddy that he takes with him. And they both like motorcycles and racing and stuff and live it on the edge. And it was very much a struggle with electricity in South America to charge a prototype Harley Davidson livewire before they became the earlier previous seasons are just like shot on kind of old standard definition video, so they don't look that great. But the newest season that's on Apple TV, it's all in HD, looks fantastic because it is essentially a travel log show. And I became fascinated with South America. What a beautiful continent, if I may. And they were able to shoot it in glorious HD with lots of drones and different things and the technology that is compact and fits in the motorcycle operated and unoperated. And then the first few episodes were the struggle to charge, and then it became more like logistics and things. And the Inexplicably went through Mexico on a school bus that they want to find. Don't think it was too dangerous. There was a nasty tourist murder going. Yeah, Ewan McGregor is a great guy. He's one of the few Hollywood stars I would like to have a beer with. You know, like, he just seems like a great guy, and most people aren't. I'm not. I wouldn't want to have a beer with me. I'm a terrible human being. Somebody flaws. But he seems to have everything worked out. Volkswagen promised such lofty things, right, that they were going to do this, and we were hoping they would cause in dieselgate. They've sort of abandoned everything and said, okay, we're going all into EVs. But are they really? And a lot of people were skeptical, but it seems like are you fairly comfortable that they are? Oh, yeah. I think 500,000 is an amazing figure to hit this year. It's not an easy thing to ramp up all those batteries and new platforms because it's better to start with a new platform than to convert a gas car to electric. So, yeah, Volkswagen is well on their way. When I saw you doing the story, I watched the Star Wars commercial with him, and it sort of he drives off in a Volkswagen ID buzz the Volkswagen EV version of their minibus van, which is by all accounts, horrendously overpriced, but also very cool. And if I was on a money tree, I would certainly have one of the driveway for the cool factor going to be available in Europe very soon, from what I recall. Yeah. Well, the Financial Times has a story on nuclear revival in that Westinghouse Electric, which is a US. Nuclear power company. It's being bought by a private equityback consortium in an almost $8 billion deal for four years. That's four years after it emerged from bankruptcy. So it was nuclear is bad going bankruptcy, not making money because of the war in Ukraine is, in their mind and their view, spurring fresh interest in an industry that had fallen out of investor favor. So we've seen how important energy is and nuclear is available now, but also they're partnering with a company that right here in our own province that doesn't have a lot of companies. We have a big multinational corporation called Chemical which mine uranium in the far north of our province province, you know, hours and hours and hours and hours away that we're into the wilderness where there's a weird little city called Uranium City. You wanted to make a film there once because it was like this abandoned mining town in the middle of nowhere. No, it's a fascinating story, if you want to kind of Google it. Uranium City. It was a whole city that was built around mining uranium, and thousands of people were living there at one point, but it's now been more or less abandoned. So there's a whole abandoned city up there that I don't know, I'd like to just go hang around. It's very interesting to look at it from the air because you see the aerial photos and there are what don't seem like dilapidated houses that are completely caved in because some little water thing got in there and then one thing led to another with an unoccupied house and then they all sort of collapsed and looks like it has 30 years left on the shingles. Kind of a weird image, actually. Yeah. So Chemical is apparently big on nuclear and which is why they are lobbying a few provincial governments in Canada like ours to go with small modular nuclear reactors as the solution and as a way to waste our money and prolong fossil fuels. So the purchasing of Westinghouse, I guess they make 440 nuclear reactors in the world, about half of them. So I don't know, they say it's the best market fundamentals we've seen in a while. I'm skeptical. I would not advance, I would not invest in that. I would not invest in a billion dollars because by the time you put a brick in the ground, I mean, forget about it. It's going to be over. So well, I'm pleased to bring back the tweet of the week. I've had a hard time finding one this week, so I had to go with a thread, I'm afraid. Usually I find an inspiring tweet, something that I really like, but this one, there's been a lot of climate protesters in the news that has made people uncomfortable throwing supine paintings and things like that, and it's become a part of the discussion. So aside, rezook somebody I follow on Twitter, energy Insider, clean Energy Insider, in support of the malign of these climate protesters, he says, we have triggered a once in a hundred million years climate change event. Government falls here on the world, doesn't appear to give a hoot about it or our future. Why? Well, let's read between the lines of what climate science is saying. The probability of 1.5 degrees heating compared to preindustrial times by 2100 is today about 99%. The probability of two degrees is 90%. The probability of four degrees or higher is 10%. And that, of course, is absolutely catastrophic. So it's like playing Russian roulette with a ten chamber gun and one bullet in it. And it's the future of humanity and life on Earth is at least temporarily going to be disrupted if that happens. So three degrees is unadaptable for most people and will result in tens or hundreds of millions of climate refugees. Four degrees or more implies in exile to high latitudes north Canada, Siberia, north New Zealand for millennia. That is the most depressing thing I've read in a long time. Remember that the probability four degrees is actually 10%. So now, if you are faced with these not unlikely outcomes, would you not throw soup at a goddamn painting or stop traffic or strike or block an interest to BP or Shell or Exxon oil terminals? That is his thoughts we like to hear from you on the Clean Energy show. Coming up next is what is it, Brian? It's the lightning round roll. Zoom through a bunch of headlines and get through the show real quick. Contact us right now. Get out, Japan. Get out. Your typewriter is cleanenergychow@gmail.com. And we have the Clean energy pod. That's our handle. Clean Energy Pod. One word on Twitter and TikTok. We've got a YouTube channel with special features, and we have a voicemail option online where you can leave us an online voicemail speak, pipe.com slash clean energy show. lighting round, fast paced look of the weekend clean energy news. Brian, the show's gone by fast. They all go by fast. That's how we're at 135 of them already. I don't know what's going on. Maybe the cocaine from the oil industry has gotten into my coffee in the morning or something. But offshore construction starts on Japan's first floating wind farm. It is, in total pretty small. Now, the biggest wind turbines that we often mention are 14, though, that those are not floating. So I don't think the floating works for turbines quite that big. But it's nice to see Japan is finally getting going with because, remember, they've got a deeper offshore, so they need to do the floating in a lot of cases there. Yeah. Jinko Solar has achieved 26.1% efficiency in their solar panels. This is not Perk solar panels, which we're used to, but NType top con solar panels. So the new record was confirmed by China's National Institute of Metrology. Is it Metrology? Metrology? Sure. Let's say that it's the science of measurement, Brian. And a word that I didn't previously know, because I don't measure things. So Perk adds a passivated film to the back of ordinary solar panels to absorb more light than may have passed the initial cell surface. This is how they get this higher efficiency. Now, the panels on our houses might be, what, 89% efficient or something? Maybe 20%, something like this is significantly higher for the same panel. And they seem to say that the cost will be very close to they're basically adding this ultra thin oxide layer on top as another barrier to contain a absorbed light. They're just trapping more light. And when you talk about bifacial panels picking up stuff on the bottom as well well, normal panels only pick up 70% of light in the bottom direction, but these pick up 80%. So that's a 10% gain, which is nothing to sneeze at if you are making a bifatial solar family farm, which sometimes apparently, can be vertical just to smooth out the curve of the power generation during the day. Yeah, I'm always excited about these advancements in solar panels. Female workforce share in the renewable energy sector, 32%. Oil and gas, 22%. So we're spreading out the jobs a bit better as we transition to renewable. Something to think about. Few markets are electrifying, quite like China, Brian, where EVs have gone from less than 1% of light commercial vehicle sales to 10% in the last ten years. At last, two years. Okay, that's fine. Two years, basically nothing, 10%. And this is like commercial vehicles are not like you and I. They're driving all day and they're bigger. The vehicles use more energy, so they're bigger and they drive all day. So this is a big impact on oil. And I expect very much that this is going to happen soon, because we see it every day in the headlines. New small commercial vehicles and trucks coming online that are electric. Oh, it's time for a CES fast fact. Yes, it costs about $1,300 to install a public EV charger on a lamp post. $1,300. You know, we talk about how we're going to deal with apartment owners and stuff like that. Yeah, that's not much. This is the whole kit and the bootle and the fact that it charges you, too. The whole billing system is built into it. $1,300 us. No. We have tons of cars that park on the street all day long, so why not give them an option to charge? And keep in mind, you use your own cord for stuff like this. It's basically a socket. In Europe, they bring their own cord. Audi wants its EVs to clean the air while they charge or drive. If I had a segment, the weird story of the week, this would be it. Brian this is weird. And by the way, I once saw a thing where they had a train that was going to carbon capture as it drove, but I lost the story. But instead of talking about the show about six months ago so audio wants to do this with their cars. The vehicles will be equipped with the systems of filters particles out of the air. This is a test as an experiment. They'll do it passively when they're driving it and actively with a fan when they're charging. And they're just going to take particles out of the air through I don't know. It's not going to make a difference. It's going to add cost to the car. Why are they doing this, Brian? Why? It seems like the dumbest thing ever. Pennsylvania State University researchers develop ten minute charging method. Now, we hear about this stuff all the time, and we don't mention it on the show. Why? Because we don't know if it's real or not. However, this was published in the journal nature, which is the journal. It's a tough journal. This is no bigger journal than nature. As far as I love it. It's my favorite journal. Absolutely. They have that written on the cover. Brian Starship's favorite journal. And it's only when I mention it because adding a thin layer of nickel to the battery, which is also why I mention it, because it's not a huge, weird thing that may or may not work right. It's a minor thing that is actually helping it cool the battery. Something like Tesla might develop something like that while they're adding a thin layer of nickel in the spooling to help with the cooling. And that means that they can charge in 10 minutes. So that might be a thing. Okay, it might be a thing, yeah. I mean, it might potentially add too much cost because nickel is one of the more expensive materials for batteries, but we'll see. Oh, it's another CAS. Fast fact. All of the lithium mine last year would last just one month. In 2041 month, all the lithium mine last year would last one month. And in 2050, that magical year where we have to get to zero, it would last two weeks. So this is based on, I guess, current projections of how much lithium we're going to need to put into batteries and such in 20 years. It could be wrong. We could be on to batteries that don't require any lithium by then. I'm hoping it's possible, especially for grid and stuff like that. Electric miners are cutting CO2 emissions in half by switching to electric vehicles. So I know that mining was ripe for electric vehicles because you have to clean the air as you go down to the mines. That's an issue to have a diesel truck running or equipment. So if you electrify it and you throw out a solar farm, even better. No. There was a story this week about a hockey rank somewhere switching to electric powered zambonies to clean the ice. If you've ever been in a hockey rink, it's ridiculous. Like, they have these gas powered Zambonies driving around, especially in a smaller community size rink. The fumes are ridiculous. We shouldn't be breathing in those fumes. And it's the same thing with mining. Like, you don't want to be burning fossil fuels down in a mine. You want clean battery, electric. And like every decent Canadian, Brine was born on the blue line of a hi suki rank, weren't you, back in the day, many years ago? Many, many years ago, yeah. But you know what surprises me, though, is it's half the emissions from mining can come from electric fine. The vehicles. That's really good. I didn't know that it would be that great because that's easy. And by the way, we've seen even years ago, early in the podcast, giant super sized trucks that are electrified, that are going up and down, coal mines that just completely recharge on the way down. And they don't even have to charge during the day. They just regenerate. Going down with the regenerative. Branking by dad, three scored five stars in the Euro NCAP safety test. Now, the reason why I bring this up is because I've often pondered with you on the show, what are the Chinese cars going to be like when they come? Are they going to be safe? Now, that's a bit of maybe an unwanted, undeserved prejudice that is coming from bad Chinese manufacturing equality from past decades in the eighties and 90s. But then a lot of people said that about the Koreans. And actually the Korean cars weren't great at first, but they became quite they're among the top reliable cars now. They're great. So this is the first sort of indication that I've seen that the Chinese cars can do and will strive to have high safety ratings because we're all in North America here going to be craving good, safe cars. That affected my buying decision last time. Oh, another fast fact. US. Wind power currently generates enough electricity to serve the equivalent of 43 million American homes. That's right. Now, already just with wind power. Just with wind power. That's what it's capable of. At its best case scenario from carbon tracker, new findings from Rised Energy show that 2022 capital spending on wind and solar could hit almost half a trillion dollars, and that would eclipse the 446,000,000,000 for upstream oil and gas production. So this is kind of the first time that the capital spending has switched from bad to good. And they say it's not going back, that this trend will continue quite rapidly going forward. Absolutely. One last story for you, Brian, the World Meleeurological Organization, rather, is that occurrences of severe weather disrupting the operation of nuclear power plants increased fivefold in the last three decades between 19 92,019, with a notable acceleration since 2009, something that we've been mentioning on the show that I found quite surprising. And yes, climate change screwing things up already. Yeah, extreme weather is not great for nuclear power plants. And that is our time for this week. I mean, we could go on forever, but my throat will start to bleed very shortly. Brian will pass out. I've got a cold. He's got to be barely alive, man. He's probably got some sort of new version of COVID that can't be detected. That's what I think. It's not a cold. We'll hope you're here for next week's show, so we'd love to hear from you.

Of course, everyone has their horror stories from COVID but imagine for one minute being in a band that has released a multitude of singles to go along with an awesome EP but is still yet to play a show…Sound fucked up?Just ask rock outfit East York and they will reply with an emphatic yes!Formed from the nucleus of existing bands including Mammal and Logic Defies Logic, East York burst onto the scene with Outsiders in October 2020, promising the world and delivering in style.Circus, Damned Anthem and To Kill The Sun steadily followed before the band released their debut EP Origins, but every time East York scheduled a show to deliver their live product into the world some form of complication arose that left them stranded.Now, some two years after their inception, East York are finally set to take the stage for s run of shows in New Zealand starting on September 1, with vocalist Tarquin Keys joining HEAVY to talk about finally getting on stage."Finally! After two years of false starts,” he laughed. “We've organised it three times so far (laughs) but we've finally been given the okay by the governments that be and we're going over to do our first show - which is our first show ever, and first time playing together, which is gonna be a weird experience. Luckily, we've been in a room together, so we know that we like each other (laughs). The first one's at me and Dazza's home town in a place called Mount Manganui in New Zealand and that's just our own show with a band called Black Comet, which is a band from New Zealand called Kora, a very established kind of dynasty really. It's the lead singer of Kora's new band so I'm really excited to see them and another band called Bones Inc. And then we're hitting the road with Coridian, which is some brothers that Daz grew up. So that's our plan."In the full interview, Tarquin talks about the frustrations of not being able to play live, what to expect from the shows, debuting in front of their home fans, the EP and what they were going for with it, future new music, the possibility of an Australian tour and more.

Daz Coppins (on East York - 'ORIGINS' EP release) Interview by Jamie Green on Radio One 91fm Dunedin
Around this time last year a Melbourne based band came on the scene that threatened to tear down the increasingly safe structure that had been slowly creeping into the local music industry and replace it with an old fashioned desire to play music for the enjoyment factor alone.That band was East York, and their promising debut single Outsiders which was quickly followed by the even more impressive Circus before the band released Damned Anthem back in March of this year.Then, almost as quickly as they forced their way into our lives East York went radio silent.Given the current state of world affairs that could likely be put down to a variety of factors, but with the bands re-emergence earlier this week with their crushing new single To Kill The Sun it is obvious the four members had been absent and using their time productively.Guitarist Daz Coppins joined us for a chat earlier today to discuss what he and the boys have been up to."There's definitely been a lot going on behind the scenes,” he affirmed. “As I'm sure a lot of bands and musicians can attest, 2021 was the year of false starts. We had tours booked that had to be pushed back or cancelled. We had a New Zealand tour booked in September which is now happening in February next year. We had three other shows in Melbourne that we had to cancel so it's definitely not through lack of trying. We have also been working hard on finishing the EP and getting that mixed and mastered. Yeah man, it's all done now. The EPs in the can. we're wrapped and ready to go.”Not content to release music for the sake of content, East York have raised their own bar yet again with To Kill The Sun, a song which cover a lot of ground musically and offering the perfect introduction to their sound should you have missed them the first time around.NOT fucking around. catchy as fuck beast of a song."We definitely went at it with all guns blazing,” Coppins nodded. “We knew as soon as we came up with the first initial structure - the instrumental that we came up with initially and the first bounce - it was like fuck, we've got something special here. It felt good and ticked all the boxes. It had the bounce. It had the groove and the energy, and the chorus just lifts. We were so excited for Tarquin (vocals) to get hold of it and sure enough he came out with the goods."In the full interview, Daz talks about To Kill The Sun in greater detail, the pressures of surviving COVID as an emerging band, next years debut EP Origins and what to expect musically, touring plans and more.

His athletic background and personal experience with sports injuries have shaped the way he treats and cares for patients, taking a very active and goal oriented approach to wellness. In the episode we spoke a great deal about prioritizing one's health. There are always reasons why we can't exercise or eat healthy, but in most cases we can do a better job if we make it more of a priority. Kyle spoke about how we can also be very flexible with this. There's no one right way to exercise, and you may not enjoy certain activities. But if you continue to try new activities, eventually you'll find something you enjoy to do. Whether that be lifting weights, swimming, dancing, yoga, or anything else you can think of - there is something out there for you to enjoy and stay active. Kyle also outline his treatment process and discussed his active approach to care. He works with patients to help them move better and return from injury better off than before. Reduce pain, restore function, and then improve physical ability. This goes hand-in-hand with his 7 pillars of health approach. The 7 pillars include: education, manual therapy, optimal nutrition, hydration, sleep hygiene, progressive overload and strengthening, and breathwork. Kyle treats patients from all walks of life along with his multi-disciplinary team at Re+Active Sports Medicine. The clinic is located in East York, Toronto. Check out the clinic website for more information and to book an appointment. You can also connect with Kyle on IG, where he's also very active and engaging.

We welcome Clay from the WHO UP? Podcast (@whouppod). Clay was recently permanently suspended from Twitter so we open the podcast by paying our respects to our fallen comrade. After some obligatory Minnesota and Heroin talk, we answer several important questions including: is complimenting women's intelligence sexist? Is summer camp Jewish? is Joe Biden bad? is Hockey Racist? and why did they cut off Mr. Potato head's penis? After thanking the official Oreo accounting for acknowledging Trans peoples' existence, we end the episode with the East York boomers who are protesting a homeless shelter set to replace their beloved parking lot.

Humour and honesty as virtual-learning children empathise with stressed-out parents; long January nights in East York brightened with Christmas lights.
In this episode, Nashwa sits down with two tenant organizers to discuss the eviction blitzes we are presently witnessing in Toronto. She's joined with Johnny Dib of the York South-Weston Tenant's Union and Matt Wittman of Parkdale Organize.We recommend people check out Keep Your Rent and People's Defence Toronto, both groups are mentioned on the show and doing amazing work. We also suggest people use and share the Toronto Covid Evictions Tracker. This episode about tenant advocacy happening in Toronto is part of a tiny series of episodes we will be putting out on Canadian activism and social movements. There is presently a grotesque amount of evictions going on. While evictions have always been a problem, presently they have become so commonplace that they are being facilitated through Microsoft Office Teams in blocks. To further illustrate this point, consider that in November 2020 there were over 6,500 eviction hearings— a 21% increase compared to November 2019. Anti-eviction action and organizing has an important history. In the second year of the Great Depression it was so intense in that evictions effectively stopped in New York, Detroit, and Chicago. There is safety in numbers and community, this episode reveals how organizing and community care matter. We will not stand by as our neighbors lose housing. Next episodes will include defunding movements in different parts of Canada and an episode on transit justice in Toronto.

Formed out of literal isolation earlier this year, East York have the musical pedigree to already be a success without shots being fired.Featuring Mammal drummer Zane Rosanoski and Tarquin Keys from Logic Defies Logic, East York have burst onto the scene without relying on reputation, releasing the blistering new single “Outsiders” and staking their claim to being one of the musical finds of the year.Rounded out by Daz and Eric, East York were born out of the frustration created by idle hands and already have three songs to launch from the back of, the first of which was released last week.Zane and Daz sat down with HEAVY to chat further."The reception has been awesome man, we're stoked,” Daz enthused. “ Being the first single for a relatively unknown band its been amazing. Worldwide, we have had responses from New Zealand and Canada and the UK so we're absolutely buzzing on the launch for sure."With three songs already written, what makes “Outsiders” the standout choice to introduce East York to the world?"It felt right because it was the first song we wrote essentially,” Daz shrugged. “The song started with a beat that Zane brought to the table, it's actually a thrashy Morbid angel type beat, and it just felt right. It had a bit of everything and sums up the band in a way. It's got the heaviness, the punch, the bounce and big riffs and obviously Tarquin's vocals and hooks throughout so it felt like the right, appropriate launch for this one.”In the full interview, the boys detail their ambitious launching of the single on a screen multiple stories high, their sound and direction, previous bands and how they shaped the sound of East York, coming up with hooks for heavier music, future music and more.

In episode 26, host David Willows and producer Sarah Murphy chat about recording during a heatwave (@1:15) before introducing the topic at hand – pharmacogenomics – and their two (virtual) guests: GSC’s leader of pharmacy and health provider relations, Ned Pojskic, and pharmacist/keen researcher, John Papastergiou (@2:28). To start, Ned re-visits why GSC initiated a research project to study the impact of pharmacogenomics testing on patient outcomes (@3:57). John explains the profile of the patients that participated in the study (@5:27), describes the course of treatment (@7:10), and talks about the experience interacting with physicians (@8:53). David then asks if East York is now the world’s epicenter of pharmacogenomics testing and John explains why the answer is yes (@12:00). The conversation shifts to Ned who explains the study results in layperson terms (@13:17). Then David asks how this technology (optimistically) can spread and gain traction, and what systemic changes in healthcare might be needed (@18:23). Ned leaves us with thoughts around how to integrate pharmacogenomics testing into benefits plans (@21:07). David closes off the discussion (@22:47) by extending his congratulations to Ned and John for their groundbreaking research that proves pharmacogenomics testing can work in a real world setting with patients.

[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. Thank you.[OUTRO]:Well, I really hope you enjoyed that episode, and we've given you some food for thought.

Just as any good conversation goes in different directions, I wanted to add another element to my regular podcast. Today I wanted to share my memories of the great John Candy. Passed away 25 years ago today but still a big part of Canadian comedy history. From Johnny La Rue to Harry the guy with the snake on his face to Dr Tongue....he had some amazing characters. Born and raised right here in East York, where I also live, and I refer to him often when showing properties near where he grew up. I also had the chance to meet the great Juul Haalmeyer a few years back and try on the famous J LaRue smoking jacket. A great treat indeed. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/TorontoRealEstate/message

Since 1998, I have called East York my home. Danforth and Woodbine has been the main intersection of our lives here. Over the years, Ive had some amazing relationships with the wonderful people Ive helped move here. If you live here, youve likely seen my DanforthWoodbine.com Community Ice Cream cart around our area. Plus the lineups that follow. Recent events in our area have been difficult to understand. There are far more heroes than villians in our area and those are the ones we take care of. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/TorontoRealEstate/message
A brewery tour on a real estate podcast? Yes. That’s right. Considering this podcast is called unfiltered, what better place than a local craft brewery in my own neighbourhood of East York. I had the pleasure of meeting David at Muddy York brewery when they took part in our Canada Day events here. Supporting local business is a big deal to me. I love seeing those who invest in our community reach a new level success. Be sure to register at News.UniqueToronto.com. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/TorontoRealEstate/message

While this podcast will go on, it is the bittersweet end of an era at Northside NFL. Ryan and Tristan meet in the studio one last time before Ryan's impending move back to Halifax, Nova Scotia. But there is still football to talk about! The two discuss Colin Kaepernick vs. Robert Griffin III for...the Seattle backup QB slot? Yikes. They also talk about Gisele Bundchen's interview where she says Tom Brady had a concussion last year (and why Charlie Rose didn't do a good job). Then the pair draft their choices for best fantasy rookies this season, and after a brief Odds and Ends segment, they reflect on the time spent in the East York studio.

Luke and Face2Face host David Peck talk about community, the changing face of Toronto and gentrification. His film Eastern captures the story of a high school basketball powerhouse, but is really a story of the changing face of a neighbourhood. Trailer Synopsis Eastern chronicles the dynamic story of four basketball players from Eastern Commerce Collegiate Institute in Toronto, supported by a community of fans, coaches, and mentors. A prolific basketball team known to foster future NBA players, the documentary poignantly captures the moments leading up to Eastern Commerce’s last championship before the high school’s closure in 2015. Biography LUKE GALATI is a triple threat — a journalist, specializing in writing, documentary filmmaking and photography. Luke is fascinated with the world of visual storytelling. He is the director of the award-winning documentary, Eastern, which chronicles the final season of the Eastern Commerce Saints, Canada’s most historic high school basketball program. As well, Luke appears as a regular guest on Raptors Open Gym: Fast Break, analyzing and talking about the NBA and Toronto Raptors. The show is filmed at the Air Canada Centre and broadcast on Bell Fibe TV. Luke is also an accredited season photographer, covering Toronto FC from pitch-side as a staff photographer with the SB Nation Blog, Waking the Red. He was the first ever recipient of the Moriyama Research Student position, funded by the renowned architect, Raymond Moriyama at the Japanese-Canadian newspaper, Nikkei Voice. For his work as a reporter at Nikkei Voice, Luke was recognized as one of three finalists for the 2015 Ontario Newspaper Awards’ Student Journalist of the Year. During his time at Ryerson University, Luke was the recipient of the Del Bell Memorial Scholarship for excellence in featuring writing and the Seymour Schulich Undergraduate Award in Financial Journalism. Last but not least, Luke is dedicated to coaching youth basketball in East York with a boys team, which he has done for the past four years.

It's time to wrap up our thoughts on Kaoh Rong. The season on the whole got great reviews, but the finale left a lot of folks confused or disappointed. They were just sure that Aubry was going to win based on her story arc and the lack of detail to support Michele's comeback win. If you believe in a "winner's edit", this was a tough one to swallow, because Michele's positivity and superb social game were hard to convey in contrast to all the big personalities, dramatic events, and that scene stealer Mark the Chicken!

Lots of us want to cheer for the underdog as he does battle against the all powerful women's alliance, but his in your face celebrations and unwillingness to acknowledge the error of his ways makes it difficult to keep cheering for Team Troy. Many believe Christina and Alicia sealed their fate when they turned down Troy's ploy to take control, but a few hold out hope that they are working an as yet invisible alliance that would help explain their lack of initiative. His role on Survivor was largely insignificant, but we wish Leif luck on his quest to make it on to The Amazing Race. For each episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff, and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what you saw and how you think the castaways are fairing in the game. Twenty four fans shared their thoughts on episode 10 and predictions for what we'll see next. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show.
