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.

On Legal Marketing Radio, host Chip LaFleur interviews Hal Ostrow, a shareholder at Rhodes McKee who leads the firm's technology transactions, privacy, and cybersecurity practice, about how businesses and law firms can adopt AI responsibly without putting their data, clients, or reputation at risk. Ostrow explains that while there is no single federal law governing AI yet, the existing patchwork of roughly 20 state consumer privacy laws and industry specific rules like HIPAA provide the framework through which AI use policies should be built, with the guiding principle of using the least amount of information for the shortest possible time to get the job done. He walks through the risk differences between consumer AI tools, walled enterprise platforms like LexisNexis Protégé which uses Claude, cloud hosted private instances, and on premises deployments, explaining that the right choice depends on each organization's appetite for risk and the sensitivity of the data involved. The conversation digs into agentic AI as the biggest risk multiplier, where errors compound across tasks without human review, hallucinations become harder to detect and undo the further down a chain they go, and the question shifts from whether a human is in the loop to where in the loop that human actually lives. Ostrow also flags an emerging and underappreciated risk: NDAs are now including clauses prohibiting the use of confidential information to train AI models, meaning organizations running self training agents could unknowingly violate agreements before anyone has a chance to review what was ingested. The episode closes with a look at AI driven dynamic pricing concerns, the importance of updating your insurance broker when your AI use profile changes, and the throughline that responsible AI adoption is not about avoiding the technology but about building the right guardrails before you need them. 00:00 AI Risk and Where It Lives 01:00 Meet Hal Ostrow 02:00 Building Compliant AI Policy 03:00 Privacy Law as the AI Framework 05:00 Consumer Tools vs. Enterprise Platforms 07:00 On Premises Hosting and Cybersecurity Risk 10:00 Agentic AI and the Risk Multiplier 12:00 Hallucinations and Professional Liability 14:00 Human in the Loop and Where It Matters 16:00 AI Slop and Output Accuracy Standards 18:00 Fact Checking as a New Job Function 19:00 Dynamic Pricing and Consumer Profiling 21:00 Updating Insurance for AI Risk 22:00 NDAs and the AI Training Clause 24:00 Agentic Memory and Unwitting NDA Violations 26:00 On Prem as a Privacy Strategy 27:30 Wrap Up
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. Meanwhile, a US Dept of Justice indictment suggests some of these shootings may have been contracted by Iranian proxies. Plus, an update on Canadaland's settlement with Theresa Kielburger.

In the winter of 1939, Finland faced overwhelming odds. The Soviet Union was invading with hundreds of thousands of troops.

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.

Can fact-checking ever recover its credibility? It's possible, author Matthew Hoy says, but we both agree it's highly unlikely. Hoy talks about his new book, Fact Checking Frauds: How Fact Checkers Distract, Deceive, and Destroy Our Politics. We discuss the origins of fact-checking, its initial promise, and its inevitable corruption – especially by the media.

Carney just released his new 55-page strategy, “AI for All,” to much fanfare, over $2B in funding commitments, and…very few details on how he's going to accomplish any of it.Canadians were at the forefront of AI's creation, yet we're already falling behind in harnessing this revolutionary technology. But most of us aren't convinced that AI is safe: not for the environment, or the kids, or our personal privacy. Plus, it seems like no one's figured out how to actually make a return on their investment.So, is Canada investing in a product that's doomed to fail?Host: James NicholsonCredits: Andrea Varsany (Producer), Kallan Lyons (Associate Producer and Fact Checking), Caleb Thompson (Mixing and Mastering), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Douglas SoltysApply to CANADALAND's Audio Journalism Fellowship at labs.canadaland.comGo to canadaland.com/live to find out more about our live show, June 18th at the Halifax Convention Centre!Further reading: Canada's National Artificial Intelligence Strategy: AI for All - Government of Canada Canada's AI strategy won't build necessary trust - The Globe and MailCanada's AI strategy promises to protect citizens.

Carney's big address on antisemitism didn't amount to much. Acknowledging what he called a “crisis,” Carney spoke at a Toronto synagogue, highlighting measures taken to address antisemitism in Canada, including changes in hate crimes laws and a council that will study the problem.

How does a free, decentralized, volunteer-run encyclopedia produce something more trusted than nearly any for-profit institution? Luigi Zingales and Bethany McLean sit down with Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales to explore how the platform organizes global knowledge. The conversation unpacks how Wikipedia governs itself without a central authority, why consensus beats voting, and what the deliberate vagueness of its rules actually protects against. But is artificial intelligence a looming threat to this system? Wales questions whether these new technologies can actually verify truth without the human feedback loops that correct traditional platforms. Can the community-driven approach of Wikipedia teach the broader business world how to survive an era of deep digital skepticism? Tune in to discover if spontaneous human order is truly the ultimate defense against an automated future. Connect with us:

This week we bring you a special episode from Amelia Callahan, one of our 2026 Podcast Fellows. She introduces her new podcast, The Separation of Pop and State, which compares political and pop culture moments to show how treating politicians like celebrities can shape their behavior and public discourse. She discusses her hesitation about sharing political opinions publicly and defines “cancel culture” (boycotting/shunning) versus “smear campaigns” (efforts to discredit reputations), arguing the two often overlap through propaganda and bandwagon effects. As a central example, she analyzes the viral “Howard Dean scream” and how ridicule and media framing helped derail his 2004 campaign despite minimal substance. She links similar dynamics to pop culture cases (Ellen DeGeneres, The Chicks, Rebecca Black, Bud Light/Dylan Mulvaney, Taylor Swift) and argues voters must recognize propaganda, fact-check, and base opinions on evidence to strengthen trust, civic engagement, and democracy. 00:00 Democracy Group Intro 00:23 Meet Amelia Callahan 02:31 Why This Podcast Exists 04:39 Politics at the Table 05:45 Cancel Culture Explained 07:48 Smear Campaigns vs Canceling 10:54 Howard Dean Scream Case 18:12 Celebrity Cancelations Compared 23:44 Boycotts and Bandwagons 26:03 Memes as Political Propaganda 32:41 Fact Checking and Civic Trust 35:13 Closing Takeaways Know a student interested in democracy and podcasts?

Nate Erskine-Smith lost his bid for nomination for the Ontario Liberals in Scarborough Southwest, putting his plans for leadership in question. He's alleging serious voting irregularities, and that the Ontario Liberal establishment has it in for him. Meanwhile, the Toronto Star publishes a curious Editor's Note, retracting a statement from the PMO that Carney did not in fact endorse Erskine-Smith, despite the video being posted online. Then, a Toronto Star freelance columnist criticizes the Star's reporting, and has her column pulled. What is happening? Barbara Patrocinio of iPolitics joins San Grewal to sort through the chaos.

Christopher Steele, who ran the Russia desk at MI6, believes Jeffrey Epstein was a Russian asset. He used girls and young women from Russia and other former Soviet states to lure powerful men into kompromat traps. Michael Wolff made the allegation, which has since been pulled by The Daily Beast, that Epstein introduced Melania and Trump, and that they even had sex for the first time on the Lolita Express. So was Melania a honeypot, trained to keep Trump in their pocket, and prevent an unpredictable influence from marrying Russia's asset? Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman, of the Trump Tyranny Tracker, and a researcher on explosive books, including investigative journalist Craig Unger's House of Trump, House of Putin, fact checks the Melania honeypot memes, and provides deeper insight into the Eastern European women in Trump's life, like his first wife Ivana. Olga Lautman will be at the Gaslit Nation Night Out! Join us to celebrate the power of art and defiance at the book launch of Mrs. Orwell, Andrea's inspiring new graphic novel, illustrated by the genius Brahm Revel.
