San Grewal and Rahim Mohamed discuss Robyn Urback's opinion piece in the Globe and Mail, titled, “Like a bad ex, Donald Trump is accidentally making Canada become its best self”. Indeed, national pride seems to be at an all-time high, but is it warranted? After all, hate crimes are on the rise, two Jewish bakeries were vandalized last weekend, and a group of white supremacists just threw a "family-friendly festival” called Bigotfest in North Bay.

Social media health influencers love 90-second reels promising instant answers to complex autoimmune conditions. In a recent viral clip, influencer Gary Brecka claimed he could teach viewers more in 90 seconds than any endocrinologist understands about Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism, asserting that mold, mycotoxins, parasites, heavy metals, and viruses hide inside thyroid cells, forcing the immune system to "break down the door" to destroy them.While analogies can be helpful teaching tools, medical science still requires accuracy. In this episode of Inflammation Nation, Dr. Steven Noseworthy fact-checks these viral claims against peer-reviewed pathobiology. We rank all 5 of these targets strictly from least likely to most likely to impact your thyroid—and explain how thyroid autoimmunity actually works.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Inflammation Nation01:31 Viral Video Featuring Gary Brecka04:21 Gary Brecka's 90-Second Claim08:34 Mold and Mycotoxins09:04 Parasites and Autoimmunity19:39 Toxoplasma and Autoimmunity28:22 Heavy Metals and Autoimmunity30:43 Understanding Thyroid Antibodies34:24 Impact of Heavy Metals on Thyroid Cells42:41 Viral Presence in Thyroid Tissue48:24 Viral Triggers for Hashimoto's54:45 Complexity of Immune ResponseIf you want to work 1-on-1 with Dr. Noseworthy to find your unique Root Cause Disruptors and define your onw personal Journey, visit https://www.drnoseworthy.com/contact to request an initial consultation.LINKS▶️ See the full video version on YouTube.

Last week, the Joe Rogan Experience podcast released a two-hour interview with Rupert Lowe, leader of the Restore party. Was Lowe there merely to create content – or is Restore a serious political party? Some of his statements suggest it's the former rather than the latter.

He joined Michael Simmons on this week's Reality Check.This episode is brought to you by Alliance Witan investment trust.

Danielle Smith announces a $13 billion Meta data centre in Sturgeon County, Alberta, set to be the largest in Canada.In contrast to Carney's federal A.I. strategy, which promised clean, sovereign, and ethical A.I., Smith refers to the Meta project as a “digital refinery,” fuelled by a natural gas plant that will be built to power it.

“Did Jesus really live, die, and rise from the dead? " Using ancient sources, historical records, and reasoned logic, Jesus the Evidence invites readers and listeners to explore the evidence and draw their own conclusions. Here on PEP Talk, we speak to the honest, no-nonsense Derek McIntyre about his own journey through the evidence and how he is bringing his findings to churches across the country.Derek McIntyre comes from a science/engineering background and was a resolute agnostic until his early 40's. He came to Christianity when he discovered the wealth of compelling evidence pointing to Jesus being the Son of God. He now shares this evidence with others through the Jesus: The Evidence website, presentation and booklet. Derek is also a Street Pastor in Glasgow and helps at Glasgow City Mission.

  Meg and Carrie are back for a fired-up part two on the topic that got them riled up last episode: compulsive lying.   In this candid Got HER Back Monday conversation, the hosts break down the difference between harmless white lies and the dangerous, manipulative kind: the pathological liars who are so charming and "godly" on the surface that no one questions them, until you've already lived a lie for years. They dig into where compulsive lying comes from (learned behavior, childhood chaos, or genetics), the real-world stakes of lying in a court of law, and the red flags to watch for in dating, from secret double lives to mysteriously replaced cell phones.   Plus, the receipts: why Carrie has never deleted a text since 2005 and what 94,000 screenshots can do for your peace of mind. If gaslighting has ever made you question your own reality, this honest, funny episode is your reminder to stand on the facts — and to leave the liars behind in 2026.   Chapters: 0:00 Cold Open: Standing on Facts 0:35 Got Her Back Monday & a Birthday Shoutout 1:30 Southern Comfort Food (and Cason's Review) 3:40 Why We Needed a Part Two on Lying 4:30 Is Compulsive Lying Learned or Genetic? 6:00 A Counselor's Take: It Starts in Childhood 7:00 Why Liars Are So Charming 8:00 White Lies vs. the Lies That Scare You 10:00 When They Double Down on the Evidence 11:00 Fact-Checking & Setting Boundaries 12:00 Lying in Court & Why You Stand on Facts 12:30 Never Delete a Text: Keeping the Receipts 13:30 Gaslighting & "Am I Crazy?" 15:30 Red Flags: Double Lives & Burner Phones 16:30 The 94,000 Screenshots 18:00 Taco Bell or Taco Bueno? 19:00 No Liars in 2026  

We expose the reality behind Von Miller's viral Instagram story edit in a Cowboys uniform, revealing it was simply a promotional stunt for Raising Cane's rather than actual free-agency interest. Then, we pivot to the secondary to explain why the front office's decision to restructure Malik Hooker's contract—rather than cutting him to clear $7 million in cap space—proves they value him as a vital safety anchor, directly countering the heavy criticism from former scout Brian Broadus.

Canadian newsrooms are hesitant to embrace A.I. but new tools offer the potential to revolutionize workflows and expand the capacity of individual journalists. Rather than a threat to journalism, Kevin Newman joins Julian Abraham to explain why A.I. should be viewed as an opportunity for newsrooms to create new business models and do more in-depth reporting.

A new strictly Canadian social media platform is promising a friendlier alternative, but is it too Canadian to succeed?

You might not be super familiar with the name Corus Entertainment, but you definitely know their work: Global News, Teletoon, YTV, Treehouse, Showcase etc. Since 1987 Corus has dominated Canadian media across TV and radio, but just last month (June 2026) they reported a $36.5-million loss in the third quarter! With yet another Canadian legacy media company, Corus Entertainment, at risk of being taken over by a private company, we're lamenting the state of ownership across Canadian media, and what it means for the future of bingeable true crime. Disclosure: At one point, host San Grewal refers to the $500 million deal that the government reached with Google through the Online News Act. Canadaland does receive money through this payout.

Vancouver resident Michael Backman challenges Councilor Erik Paulsen's claim that no other Washington city of 300,000 lacks fixed-rail service — pointing out Seattle is the only city that even meets that population threshold. Backman also disputes that converting The Vine BRT to tram service is as simple as laying rail, citing engineering overhauls and electrification costs that Clark County taxpayers would bear. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-fact-checking-the-c-tran-fixed-rail-discussion/ #CTRAN #FixedRail #Vancouver #ClarkCounty #PublicTransit #WashingtonState #Opinion #TransitFunding #Infrastructure #Letters

This week, an outlet in Canada contacted me with a series of questions about comments I've made regarding MAiD and organ donation in Canada.The inquiry references an earlier AFP fact-check and subsequent CTV coverage, but rather than send a private response that can be summarized or selectively quoted, I decided to answer every question publicly and in full.In this episode, I walk through the original comments, clarify what I was asking, explain what I believe the evidence shows, and respond directly to each of the four questions sent to me.I also examine publicly available guidance from Canadian Blood Services, Health Canada's funding of CAMAP, and concerns raised by bioethicists regarding the relationship between MAiD policy and organ donation systems.Whether you agree with my conclusions or not, I believe these discussions deserve transparency, context, and a complete public record.This video is my answer, on the record.Sources• Blendr News Interview (33:42 and 44:26)• The Kelsi Sheren Perspective Episode Referenced (18:04 and 19:02)• Sarah Westall Interview (25:29)• Canadian Blood Services / CMAJ — Deceased Organ and Tissue Donation After Medical Assistance in Dying: 2023 Updated Guidance for Policy• Health Canada — Canada Releases Medical Assistance in Dying Accredited Training Program for Health Professionals (September 2023)• Macdonald-Laurier Institute — Bridging the Gaps• MAiD in Canada Article (add link when published)Chapters0:00 — Why MAiD in Canada Contacted Me1:00 — The Actual Record: The Quotes in Question2:30 — My Direct Answer3:30 — What the Documents Actually Say7:00 — Answering All Four Questions9:30 — Final Response- - - - - - - - - - -Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Rumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

Journalists and politicians are honouring Robert Fife, who retired after 48 years. Known for his big scoops, Fife leveraged anonymous sources to hold the powerful accountable. But Fife's brand of “access journalism” also runs the risk of being used as a political tool. Jan Wong joins Jesse Brown to explain why journalists shouldn't get too cozy with the politicians they cover.

In our landmark 150th episode, we discuss a common theme in global development over the past 18 months: the state of U.S. foreign aid. We're seeing the State Department steadily replenish its workforce, with dozens of open roles across the agency's global health, international aid, and disaster response bureaus. On the topic of U.S. foreign assistance, last week Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed the U.S. remains the world's top aid provider "by far" despite the closure of the U.S. Agency for International Development. While provisional figures from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development indicate that Germany has officially overtaken the U.S. for the top spot, we find that the reality is more complex as the validity of the claim hinges entirely on how "aid" is defined. We break down the data and the nuance behind the figures. To discuss these stories, and others, Senior Editor Rumbi Chakamba sits down with Business Editor David Ainsworth and Global Development Reporter Elissa Miolene for episode number 150 of our weekly podcast series.

A gun-for-hire network is revealed after a Toronto Police Officer is killed in a raid investigating a shooting at the US consulate. The network is potentially linked to a slew of shootings across the GTA, including synagogues.

So it looks like technically Canada is in the midst of a “technical” recession, but, technicalities aside, is a 0.2% drop in growth really that big a deal?​Carney hasn't said much on the subject, just that this is just a “settling-in period” while his policies take effect. On the other hand, Poilievre seems almost gleeful, saying that it's a result of a “banker who can't budget”. Oh, and he's made a whole attack ad dunking on the technicalities of a technical recession with a little help from generative AI.
