In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with one of Canada's most beloved novelists, Catherine Bush, about her debut collection of short fiction, Skin (Goose Lane Editions, 2025).  In Skin, Catherine Bush plunges into the vortex of all that shapes us. Summoning relationships between the human and more-than-human, she explores a world where touch and intimacy are both desirable and fraught. Ranging from the realistic to the speculative, Bush's stories tackle the condition of our restless, unruly world amidst the tumult of viruses, climate change, and ecological crises. Here, she brings to life unusual and perplexing intimacies: a man falls in love with the wind; a substitute teacher's behaviour with a student brings unforeseen risks; a woman becomes fixated on offering foot washes to strangers. Bold, vital, and unmistakably of the moment, Skin gives a charged and animating voice to the question of how we face the world and how, in the process, we discover tenderness and allow ourselves to be transformed. Catherine Bush is the author of five novels. Her work has been critically acclaimed, published internationally, and shortlisted for numerous awards. Her most recent novel, Blaze Island, was a Globe and Mail and Writers' Trust of Canada Best Book of the Year, and the Hamilton Reads 2021 Selection. Her other novels include the Canada Reads longlisted Accusation; the Trillium Award shortlisted Claire's Head; the national bestselling The Rules of Engagement, which was also named a New York Times Notable Book and a L.A. Times Best Book of the Year; and Minus Time, shortlisted for the City of Toronto Book Award. The recipient of numerous fellowships, Bush has been Writer-in-Residence/Landhaus Fellow at the Rachel Carson Centre for Environment and Society in Munich and a Fiction Meets Science Fellow at the HWK in Delmenhorst, Germany. An Associate Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Guelph, she lives in Toronto and in an old schoolhouse in Eastern Ontario. Learn more about your ad choices.

National Opens are in focus this week on the Flagstick Podcast. We start with a look back at the RBC Canadian Open that ended on Sunday with a playoff victory by Ryan Fox. What were the storylines; how did the course hold up, and what was the sense of how the new venue at TPC Toronto performed? With the U.S. Open arriving at Oakmont this week, there is plenty to talk about. It starts with the golf course itself and how the players might handle it; who will play well on one of the hardest courses in all of golf, and what are the things we're watching for? We also have a quick discussion about The Royal Ottawa Golf Club as it prepares to host the 2025 Canadian Men's Amateur Championship, and we talk about why we love match play, on the heels of the Ontario Women's Match Play Championship being played at Cataraqui GC.

Today's BOOKSPO ventures beyond the human as I talk to Catherine Bush about her sixth book, which is also her first short story collection, SKIN. She tells me about how she, like many writers, began writing short fiction, but soon realized that the novel was the container for the stories she was telling, and would focus on novel-writing for years…until an interest in flash fiction brought her back to short stories. SKIN includes some of those flash fictions, as well as longer pieces, stories she's written recently and other reworkings of stories she'd written in the past, the result a collection that's rich and eclectic (in terms of form and approach), but with fascinatingly recurring touchpoints, which reflect Bush's preoccupations as a thinker and an author over the years. Pickle Me This is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.And her BOOKSPO pick is Ali Smith's COMPANION PIECE, a book that inspired Bush for the ways in which it seems to be fiction pushing right up against our present moment, with both humour and urgency at once. She talks about the sense of play in the book, which is a sense that infuses her own stories in SKIN. And about how she admires the role that animals play in Smith's novel, which—like her own book—gives a vision of the world that's more than merely human. A blistering book of short fiction from one of Canada's most loved novelists.In Skin, Catherine Bush plunges into the vortex of all that shapes us. Summoning relationships between the human and more-than-human, she explores a world where touch and intimacy are both desirable and fraught.Ranging from the realistic to the speculative, Bush's stories tackle the condition of our restless, unruly world amidst the tumult of viruses, climate change, and ecological crises.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - In a series of tweets between 2019 and 2021, the Conservative candidate for North Island Powell River, Aaron Gunn, argued against the the idea that residential schools were a form of genocide.  In the first of these he agreed that they were ‘truly horrific events,' but added that people should not refer to them with a loaded word like ‘genocide' that does not remotely reflect the reality of what happened.” He was wrong, residential schools are a perfect example of genocide. Mr Gunn's understanding of the term appears to be limited to ‘killing of a large number of people,' but when Raphael Lemkin coined the term he stated it wasn't necessary to kill people. There were also genocides of political and social institutions, culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups. Lemkin was a Jewish lawyer who fled from his native Poland after the Germans overran it in 1939. He was deeply concerned about NAZI Germany's extermination policy. In his book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe (1944), Lemkin wrote:  “By ‘genocide' we mean the destruction of a nation or of an ethnic group. This new word, coined by the author to denote an old practice in its modern development, is made from the ancient Greek word genos (race, tribe) and the Latin cide (killing), thus corresponding in its formation to such words as tyrannicide, homocide, infanticide, etc. Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups.” He added that. “Genocide has two phases: one, destruction of the national pattern of the oppressed group; the other, the imposition of the national pattern of the oppressor. This imposition, in turn, may be made upon the oppressed population which is allowed to remain upon the territory …” Lemkin also coined the term cultural genocide, which is the systematic destruction of traditions, values, language, and other elements that make one group of people distinct from another.  How does this relate to Aaron Gunn's Tweets? These three appear to be misguided:  “There was no genocide. Stop lying to people and read a book …”;  “I understand that people have a misinformed view of history which they have reached following a steady and persistent attempt to discredit Canada's past in order to undermine its institutions and future.”  “Residential schools were asked for by Indigenous bands in Eastern Ontario when John A MacDonald was still a teenager.” This last remark refers to residential schools in eastern Ontario sometime between 1828 and 1835, when John A MacDonald was a teenager, but according to the Canadian Encyclopedia, the purpose of residential schools changed during the 1870s. “With the passage of the British North America Act in 1867, and the implementation of the Indian Act (1876), the government was required to provide Indigenous youth with an education and to assimilate them into Canadian society.” 

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents -First Nations leaders are calling upon the Conservative Party of Canada to drop Aaron Gunn, candidate for North Island-Powell River, due to a series of tweets he made between 2019 and 2021. More than 150,000 First Nation, Métis and Inuit children were taken out of their homes and forced to attend residential schools between the 1870s and 1997. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission called the residential school system "cultural genocide" in its final report released in 2015. Gunn tweeted: “Why are the report authors (and now Trudeau) sensationalizing truly horrific events, that need to be examined honestly, with a loaded word like ‘genocide' that does not remotely reflect the reality of what happened.”   More tweets followed: “There was no genocide. Stop lying to people and read a book. The Holocaust was a genocide. Get off Twitter and learn more about the world” “I understand that people have a misinformed view of history which they have reached following a steady and persistent attempt to discredit Canada's past in order to undermine its institutions and future.” “Residential schools were asked for by Indigenous bands in Eastern Ontario when John A MacDonald was still a teenager, but hey, why let the truth get in the way of a good headline.”   “ I think Mr. Gunn's comments about Canadian Indian residential schools are absolutely appalling and utterly unacceptable for someone that is seeking public office. It shows me that he is completely untethered from the reality that First Nations have experienced in this country and completely absent from knowledge of what the government has done and spoken of. I believe it was in 2022 when the House of Commons spoke about what happened to First Nations people as genocide, and when the Pope of the Catholic church also spoke of it as genocide. For Mr. Gunn to just disregard these statements based upon reality of this country, it's absolutely appalling.  There's no way that I can envision anyone should be able to sit in public office with such blatant, racist perspectives,” explained Bob Chamberlain, a Powell River resident who served as the Union of BC Indian Chief's Vice-President for 10 years and elected chief of the Kwikwasut'inuxw Haxwa'mis [quick-wa-sut-uh-nook / hakwuh-meesh] First Nation for 14 years.  The First Nations Leadership Council (FNLC) echoed this opinion in a press release issued on April 3: “the FNLC is joining calls for the Conservative Party of Canada to drop Aaron Gunn, the candidate for North Island-Powell River, due to his horrific and offensive posts on X between 2019 and 2021 refuting that Indigenous people faced a genocide in Canada and that ‘residential schools were asked for by Indigenous bands.' Such attitudes are extremely harmful and divisive and should not be held by those in public office.” Terry Teegee, BC Regional Chief for the Assembly of First Nations, added "It's really concerning that perhaps the Conservatives can't work with First Nations peoples across this country, especially with a party that supports an individual of this type of view."  Gunn has not responded to Cortes Currents requests for comment.   When he was rejected as a potential candidate of the BC Liberal party in 2021, because of his views, Gunn claimed he had been blindsided: “At worst, it could be argued that one of the tweets was more terse than necessary. But it is difficult to see how any of these tweets expressed extreme or factually dubious opinions that fall outside mainstream Canadian political thought. Especially considering “genocide” is most commonly defined as “the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group” – a rather serious accusation which, I believe, should only be used in those rare, extreme circumstances (such as the Holocaust, for example).” 

With the 2025 edition of The Masters set to happen next week, it's time to take a look at the opening male major of the season. Among the aspects we discuss are its validity as a major, the traditions, the strength of field, who are the favourites, can Scheffler repeat, can Rory complete the career grand slam, what do we like on the concessions menu (and what is the latest addition), and many more aspects of what many consider to be their favourite major championship. We also discuss how the weather affects the golf season, the continued presence of one-size-fits-all golf swing methodologies, and how our golf course openings calendar is shaping up.

This week on End Credits, we're going out to the farm. Everyone yearns at some point for a more simple life on the land, and it looks like one of them is Tom Green... so he made a film about it. On this episode we're reviewing This is The Tom Green Documentary, and we will also take the unusual step of critiquing the critics and the rare times they've got it wrong. This Wednesday, March 19, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Wrong Turns. The subject of this week's film is Tom Green, who once made Freddy Got Fingered, which was declared by one critic as "quite simply the worst movie ever released by a major studio in Hollywood history". Hyperbolic? Probably, which reminds us that sometimes critics are wrong, or at the very least over-the-top in their negative assessment of a movie, so to begin this week, we will talk about some critical misses. REVIEW: This is The Tom Green Documentary (2025). At the turn of the century a simple man made a splash on Ottawa cable access TV with his out-there sense of comedy. Tom Green took his eponymous show to Hollywood and then they started putting him movies. The world was his oyster, but then he got cancer and his career never fully recovered. In his new documentary about himself, Green looks at his wild ride and his latest turn as a proud farmer in Eastern Ontario, but is the life of Tom worth celebrating on film? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

There's plenty to talk about on this show as the outdoor golf season in most parts of North America draws closer. For those in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, we'll provide updates on range and course openings, discuss the release of the 2025 Golf Facility Openings Calendar at Flagstick.com, and highlight courses that are already open in Ontario. With the Canadian dollar struggling against foreign currencies, we've seen an increase in requests from people looking to spend their golf travel dollars within Canada this year. We dive into that, exploring destinations now on the radar for upcoming golf trips. Jeff has spent some time on TikTok recently and stumbled upon some "Hot Takes" on golf. This sparks a conversation about twelve-hole courses and twilight green fees that might pique your interest. On the Back Nine, we take a broader look at Rory McIlroy following his recent victory at The Players Championship, which brings him close to $100 million in career PGA TOUR earnings. We discuss his legacy, what the future may hold for him, what's holding him back from winning The Masters, and what a win at Augusta National could do for his public perception.

It's a big week in professional golf, so we take a look at The PLAYERS Championship and offer some thoughts on the event, the Canadians in the field, and Scottie Scheffler's quest to win it for a third consecutive time. We also chat about last week's events, particularly the Arnold Palmer Invitational and some comments by Collin Morikawa about his decision to not speak to the media after a tough loss. Jeff and Scott exchange their opinions on the situation. Staying on the PGA TOUR theme, Scott shares about his opportunity to attend and play in the Puerto Rico Open Pro-Am - what it entailed, what his impressions were of the opposite-field event, and some general comments on the destination. In addition to all this, we summarize the recent Ottawa-Gatineau Golf Show, talk about pending golf facility openings here in Ontario, and reveal who made the 2025 Class of Inductees for the Ontario Golf Hall of Fame.

The 2025 inductees for the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame have been announced. We tell you who made the cut, and what made them Hall of Fame worthy. We delve into some golf content, including details from the new Netflix Full Swing Season 3 and the 2025 plans for the PGA TOUR's Creator Classic. Almost two months into the year we check in on how the big pro tours are doing, specifically the Canadians playing them and how they are faring. Greg Chambers from the National Golf Owners Association Canada joins us for an interview about the upcoming Ottawa-Gatineau Golf Expo. He provides details on what you can expect from this year's show. Music by: https://www.bensound.com/free-music-for-videos License certificate #2227748

Birthdays, sickness, hockey, pulled pork, and even some golf on this show. We catch up after a week away, bring some updates on tournament registrations, golf shows, and golf jobs, and then we get to the show's meat. As we pine to play some outdoor golf, we highlight a number of regional and worldwide golf holes, break down the designs a bit, and share how we might play them. It's a good chance just to talk about hitting some shots, how we view strategy in golf course design, and also create some aspiration to play some of the best-known golf holes in North America, and beyond.

There is plenty to discuss this week as we creep ever so slowly toward the outdoor golf season here in Canada. The schedules are out regionally for the Ottawa Valley Golf Association and the Flagstick.com PGA of Ottawa Tour; we dig into those to discuss highlights, specifically when it comes to the venue. We drop some opinions on the 27th PGA TOUR victory by Rory McIlroy and the latest week of the TGL. On the news front, we let you know which Canadian just made the watch list for the NCAA Ben Hogan Award and who was named the new COO and General Manager at eQuinelle. On the Back 9, we discuss golf club fitting, something more golfers are doing as opportunities become available and the investment in golf gear increases. We help familiarize you with the process and what to expect. Music by: https://www.bensound.com/free-music-for-videos License certificate #2227748

As we move further into the new year, the world of golf is heating up. This week on the Flagstick Podcast, we delve into the 2025 Golf Ontario schedule, share our thoughts on week 4 of the TGL, and discuss the potential arrival of rangefinders on the PGA Tour. On the Back 9, it's an LPGA focus as the circuit returns, and we explore what lies ahead for stars like Nelly Korda and, in particular, Canada's own Brooke Henderson. Henderson, winless for two years, appears poised to capture her 14th victory in her 11th year on tour at just 27 years old. We also recap the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and highlight the newest winner on the Asian Tour, who previously enjoyed success winning tournaments here in Canada.

Soooo much to talk about this week. Golf season is firing up on the pro tours, equipment scene, and travel business. We dip into a lot of it. Part of it is chatting about the latest Canadian winner on the Korn Ferry Tour and a huge player announcement for the 2025 RBC Canadian Open at TPC Osprey Valley. On the Back 9, we discuss the TGL and where we stand with it after week three. There are a few hot takes, so you may want to tune in to those. We close it out with some chatter on things we'd like to personally do in golf in 2025, leading us to a stunning realization about what did NOT happen in 2024.

It was a big weekend for Canadian golf fans as Nick Taylor earned his 5th PGA TOUR victory at the SONY Open in Hawaii. We dig into a bit, how it played out, what it means, and share some of Taylor's thoughts on the outcome. After the debut of the TGL last week, we circle back to the 2nd night of the indoor golf league and see how it held up. Is it showing flaws, getting better or worse, and have we changed our opinion on its future? On the Back 9 we have a wide look at the many new golf product introductions that have happened in the last few weeks ahead of the 2025 PGA Merchandise Show. What are the trends, what stands out, and what do we think will be some of the best products of the season. Music by: https://www.bensound.com/free-music-for-videos License certificate #2227748

It's time to kick off the new year with Episode #110. We get caught up with each other after a few weeks away, look at some tournaments already taking place worldwide, and reveal the 15 players who will be part of the Ottawa Valley Golf Association Junior Development Program. We dropped some details on registration for the 2025 Flagstick Open Amateur Championship, and our big discussion is about TGL, the Tomorrow Golf League, and all our impressions of the first night of action. What did we like, what did not appeal to us, and how do we think it could be better.

We'd love your feedback! What resonated for you in this episode? What do you want more of?One of the most devastating consequences of coercive control and domestic abuse is the stripping away of the victim's identity and sense of self.The emotional and psychological abuse leads victims to feel incapable of doing even small tasks that may once have felt easy, let alone the belief that one can follow their dreams.What if finding a way to take that first step towards your dreams could catapult your healing?On this episode of The Rising Beyond Podcast, I talk with Lola REid Allin on how following her dreams to become a pilot allowed her to escape her abusive marriage in a time when it was shocking for a woman to leave her husband.  In this episode we also discuss the harmful culture in the male dominated profession of aviation and what leads to this harassment and “boys club” culture.Lola shares her reason for writing her memoir,  HIGHWAY to the SKY: An Aviator's Journey. It is a way that she can bring light to the many women's issues that prevent women from living out their dreams.About Lola: Lola Reid Allin is a survivor, former Airline Transport Pilot, pilot examiner, and the first female flight instructor at two flight schools (BC & ON), and the first woman to fly the Twin Otter (DHC6/300) for a scheduled air service, commemorated on the Wall of Women in Aviation History at the Bush Plane Museum in Sault Ste Marie.In addition, she is a SCUBA Dive Master, and an award-winning author and photographer whose work has appeared in many notable local, national, and international publications, including National Post, Globe & Mail, Toronto Star, National Geographic, Santa Fe Centre for Photography, Verge Magazine, & Grapevine Magazine. To promote the role of women in aviation and to encourage other females to consider aviation careers, Lola is a speaker with the Northern Lights Aero Foundation & the Eastern Ontario 99s Education & Outreach Committee. In 2022, she and Robin Hadfield, the International 99s President, created the New Track Scholarship, an annual award for female pilots.Connect with Lola: https://www.lolareidallin.com/https://www.facebook.com/Lola.Reid.Allin.Pilot/https://www.instagram.com/lola.reid.allin/https://www.linkedin.Please leave us a review!

Episode 65: Modern Day Lumbering 1919-Present For those of us who have been long-time summer residents of Algonquin Park, the issue of logging in the park has been a difficult one. Difficult because, though most people don't realize it, logging has always been an integral part of the Algonquin Park governing mandate. Though known today as a recreational paradise and wildlife refuge, those of us who have lived in and around the park are very much aware that allowing logging was one of the key compromises that was needed in order for the Park's creation in 1893. Though hard for us to visualize today, the idea of setting aside such a large expanse of land, so close to the industrial heartland of Ontario was truly a game-changing event, with many conflicting voices. Another parallel objective has always been economic support for the local communities of Eastern Ontario. In this episode, my goal is to focus narrowly on what has changed since the days of John Egan and J. R. Booth's logging efforts in the Park. I am going to try to look at the topic from four perspectives, namely: the cutting of the trees; the process of getting them to the sawmills; the actual sawing of the wood into lumber; and its marketing; and to the degree possible how this has all impacted the surrounding people and communities in general and the Whitney area in specific. Part 1 focuses on the 20th C, up until 1974, when the Algonquin Park Master Plan was issued.

Send us a textOn this episode of the CMAJ Podcast, Dr. Blair Bigham and Dr. Mojola Omole explore effective ways to manage pain during intrauterine device (IUD) insertions. They also address a broader issue: how women's pain is often neglected during gynecologic procedures, and the failure of physicians to adequately seek consent. They are joined by Dr. Kristina Arion, an obstetrician and gynecologist at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and Dr. Nadia Von Benzon, a lecturer and social geographer at Lancaster University.The episode begins with Dr. Arion discussing the CMAJ article she co-authored, which outlines strategies for better management of pain during IUD insertions. She explains that the IUD is recommended as the first-line therapy for birth control and period management by the Canadian Pediatric Society and the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada. Dr. Arion highlights how patient anxiety, lack of sedation options, and inconsistent practices contribute to unnecessary pain.Her key advice to doctors: listen to patients, explain each step of the procedure, and provide adequate pain management options.Dr. Von Benzon broadens the discussion beyond IUD pain management to the neglect of women's pain and autonomy during other gynecologic and obstetrical procedures. Her research article "My doctor just called me a good girl, and I died a bit inside: From everyday misogyny to obstetric violence in UK fertility and maternity services," illustrates how women's pain is frequently dismissed and their consent overlooked. She discusses the long-term impact of these practices, with some women opting out of future pregnancies due to trauma. She advises healthcare professionals to clearly explain procedures, seek consent, and prioritize patient comfort and autonomy.Dr. Omole and Dr. Bigham reflect on how patriarchal structures and time constraints within healthcare systems often lead to the failure to prioritize women's pain and autonomy. The episode closes with a powerful call for healthcare providers to take the time to listen to their patients, ask questions, and ensure that consent and comfort are prioritized at every stage of care.For more information from our sponsor, go to Rainbow Health Ontario.Join us as we explore medical solutions that address the urgent need to change healthcare.

Paul Sullivan (Twitter/X) joins the show to talk about the challenges he and his farmers are dealing with in his area of Eastern Ontario. We discuss some really interesting population trials that he's doing, fertility issues coming off years of high fertilizer prices, and what difference SWAT MAPS has made for him and his farmer customers. “When we look at yield, yield is a component of kernel number times kernel weight, and that gives us basically yield per acre. So with the definition of the SWAT MAPS we feel those yield components, we can kind of connect the genetics with the water supplying capacity in addition to the management of the farm.” - Paul SullivanPaul is a certified crop consultant and agronomist in Eastern Ontario. He has operated his agronomy services firm, PT Sullivan Agro, since 1997, and started using SWAT MAPS in recent years. His area of the province, which is just outside of Ottawa, is mostly corn, soybeans and wheat. Paul's work focuses on developing crop plans around nutrient management, pH, pesticides, and some genetic recommendations as well. Before starting the business, Paul spent eight years as a soil and crop advisor with the ministry of agriculture and food covering three counties with the provincial extension group there. So he has a long history of working directly with farmers to solve agronomic problems. 00:00 Welcome to SWAT Agronomy Podcast00:26 Introduction to Today's Episode00:55 Meet Paul Sullivan02:23 Paul's Agronomy Journey02:49 Early Challenges and Solutions04:48 Soil and Fertility Issues06:18 Managing Crop Residue08:28 Adopting SWAT MAPS14:47 Population Trials and Hybrid Management21:03 Impact of SWAT Maps on Business23:20 Conclusion and FarewellLearn more at SWATMAPS.com

We'd love to hear from you about this episode.Humans have always looked for new and innovative ways to treat illness and enhance health. Many continue to seek healthcare approaches that are not typically part of the standard medical systems we have become accustomed to.  When we follow a non-conventional approach combined with traditional medicine, it is considered "complementary."Although the natural world has always been a primary source of healthcare for humans, prescribing nature has only recently begun in Western medicine. Prescribing nature is a holistic approach that recognizes and celebrates natural environments' profound impact on our health and well-being.Just like asking your Doctor about a particular medication or other treatment, what if you could confidently ask your physician for a prescription to spend more time outside?Welcome to Episode Forty-Seven of The Nature of Wellness Podcast. In this episode, we sat down with Dr. Robert Zarr, founder of Park Rx America (PRA). Dr. Zarr is a physician-researcher and public health pediatrician based at Unity Health Care, Inc. and Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario.  Join us as we speak to Robert about his journey with nature, his 20+ years of working with underserved populations, and his inspiration to prescribe nature and create Park Rx America. Dr. Zarr discusses the importance of nature therapies for both children and adults, how the concept of play is underrated and critical for well-being, and his desire to reimagine the healthcare system entirely, pivoting from a deficit-based, doctor-centric approach to something that better encapsulates the whole patient.We were happy to hear the Doctor tell us to "GET OUT."Please subscribe, rate, and leave a review anywhere you listen to this podcast.We appreciate you all.Be Well-NOW Park RX America Website: https://parkrxamerica.org   * The unbelievable Shawn Bell produces the Nature of Wellness Podcast, making us sound good.** The NOW theme song was penned, performed, produced, and provided by the dynamic duo of Phil and Niall Monahan.   *** This show wouldn't exist without our amazing guests and all of you who listen.

Matt Badiali, Editor of the New Energy Investor, Published under Mangrove Investor joins me to look at the Vanadium market and the potential of Vanadium redox flow batteries driving a bull market.    We discuss the transformative potential of Vanadium redox flow batteries to be used for grid-scale energy storage. These batteries, compared to lithium-ion batteries, have longer lifespans and are considered safer. China's significant demand for vanadium flow batteries and their projected annual growth rate of 56.7% through 2030 are examined.    Despite the current low demand from steel,we address investment opportunities and potential market shifts, with Canadian company Largo Resources highlighted as a key player. Matt also touches upon the future exploration and production possibilities in regions like Eastern Ontario and Quebec.   Click here to visit the Mangrove Investor website to follow along with what Matt is writing.

This CPS Podcast will review the CPS position statement “Access to appropriate interpretation is essential for the health of children”. It will be covering the importance of using professional interpretation services in the healthcare setting, and the potential harms of children and youth acting as unofficial interpreters. In many situations, children and youth are tasked to act as interpreters for family members in health care settings, which may place them in both inappropriate and difficult situations that can have lasting and negative impacts on their relationship with family members, as well as their own mental health. Th podcast was created by Angela Hu, a second-year medical student at McMaster University, in collaboration with Dr. Charles Hui, Chief of Infectious Diseases, Immunology and Allergy at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Ottawa, and Chair of the Caring for Kids New to Canada Task Force of the Canadian Paediatric Society.  

A 5-year-old child and his parents boarded a plane heading for a new life. They were Syrian refugees, who fled conflict in their country and then lived a difficult life in a refugee camp. Now they were heading to Canada. But soon after arriving, there's a problem. The child has hemophilia and due to hemophilia complications, a minor injury while traveling became a major concern. Add to this a language barrier and trying to understand a new culture. Dr. Robert Klaassen, a pediatric hematologist and lead of the Comprehensive Hemophilia Care Clinic at Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa, Canada, shares his experience working with a family who overcame incredible barriers and the lessons learned along the way.

In previous episodes, Talking About Kids has addressed the need for trauma-informed care and the importance of involving youth in the design and oversight of programs for them. This episode combines the two. Recently, Yehudis Stokes, Marjorie Robb, and their colleagues published a paper on the perspectives of youth, caregivers, and other stakeholders on implementing trauma-informed care in an inpatient mental health program. Yehudis Stokes is a Registered Nurse at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario and a Clinical Nurse Specialist with the Psychosocial Oncology team at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, and Marjorie Robb is the Acting Chief of Psychiatry at Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the Division Chief of Community-Based Psychiatry. The episode was recorded live using a webinar platform to encourage questions from Alliance members and other listeners. If you would like to participate in the webinars, you can join the Arizona Alliance for Adolescent Health's mailing list at healthyazyouth.org.

SWAT MAPS: https://swatmaps.com/Follow Paul Sullivan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SullivanAgroThese Field Report segments are short occasional episodes where we will hear from the people who actually use and hopefully benefit from the innovations we discuss on the show. We've already been doing this through the spotlight segments that have aired at the end of about one episode every month. I've really enjoyed these sort of customer testimonials that are provided from our quarterly presenting sponsors. So I'm taking what we were doing with those spotlights and creating standalone episodes with a similar concept: only now sometimes it will be associated with the sponsor, and sometimes not - just profiles of farmers and other users of agricultural innovations giving their report from the field. In today's case, Paul Sullivan is a certified crop consultant and agronomist in Eastern Ontario. He has operated his agronomy services firm, P.T. Sullivan Agro, since 1997, and started using SWAT MAPS in recent years. This part of Ontario which is just outside of Ottawa, is mostly corn, soybeans and wheat. Paul's work focuses on developing crop plans around nutrient management, pH, pesticides, and some genetic recommendations as well. Before starting the business, Paul spent eight years as a soil and crop advisor with the ministry of agriculture and food covering three counties with the provincial extension group there. So he has a long history of working directly with farmers to solve agronomic problems.

Going on a motorcycle adventure triggers the excitement of preparing yourself and your bike. Selecting the perfect jacket and pants, and even contemplating the ideal bag for your top box becomes part of the immersive experience. And for many there's a satisfaction in knowing that their bikes and gear are meticulously prepared, ensuring they're equipped with top-notch quality where it matters. However, there exists an entirely different approach, embraced by those who simply hop on their bikes and venture into remote areas with older motorcycles and non-technical gear. This somewhat minimalist approach is their version of thorough preparation, and it works remarkably well for them. Two seemingly polar opposite pre-trip approaches—one meticulously detailed and modern, the other laid-back and relatively minimalistic. It appears that Nick Adams, an adventure rider from Eastern Ontario, Canada, aligns more with the latter description—a testament to the diversity of approaches for gearing up for the open road. Photos and links related to this episode can be found in the show notes.  Adventure Rider Radio is the longest-running adventure motorcycle and travel podcast, since 2014, and we remain committed to bringing you new and exciting episodes every Thursday.
