In January, the western province of Alberta in Canada released a 269-page report—the first of its kind—examining the information and data that informed its response to the COVID-19 pandemic.“Doctors felt pressure to do things they didn't agree with. We need to have good autonomy where a physician is doing things safely, but they're allowed to treat their patients in what they believe is the best for them. It still has to be regulated. You can't just have everybody off on their own, but it has to be done,” says Dr. Gary Davidson, an emergency physician and primary author of the report.“I was asked to form a task force. There's people on the task force that are more aligned with how I saw it or how I think, and then there were people invited to join who are not aligned with how I think or see it.”The report found that pandemic lockdowns, masking mandates, and vaccine mandates all failed to achieve their intended results.“There's just so much data out there. The Nordic countries did a huge study—millions of people, showing that if you're under 50 years old, and if you don't have any really good reason, you probably shouldn't get this vaccine,” says Davidson. “And so that's what we recommend doing in Alberta.”The views expressed in this video are those of the host and the guest and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Kevin interviews Dr. Gary Davidson, lead author on the Final Report of the Alberta Covid Pandemic Data Review Task Force. They discuss the criticism of the Report, and what Dr. Davidson believes should be the next steps following the report's release. Dr. Davidson would like to see a full, formal inquiry where critics and supporters alike can put their evidence on the record. This would help Alberta craft a proper emergency response plan. The province did have an emergency response plan prior to Covid, but that was chucked out in favour of lockdowns, mandatory masking and vaccinations. In the second half of the show, John Carpay looks at an open letter from academics to Premier Danielle Smith calling for the government to disregard Dr. Davidson's report completely.Globe and Mail, Jan 24, 2025: Alberta task force recommends halt of COVID-19 vaccines in new reportGlobal News, Jan 26, 2025: Health experts call Alberta COVID-19 report an attempt to ‘rewrite history'John Carpay in the Western Standard via Justice Centre, Jan 27, 2025: Government report says Alberta Covid response not grounded in scienceThe Canadian Press via MSN, Jan 27, 2025: Alberta doctors criticize provincial COVID-19 report as harmful 'anti-science'John Carpay in the Western Standard via Justice Centre, Jan 30, 2025: Does the Alberta Medical Association understand science?Globe and Mail, Jan 27, 2025: Alberta physician listed on provincial COVID report says he doesn't agree with findings, demands his name be removedEdmonton Journal, Jan 27, 2025: 'Sows distrust': Alberta doctors slam government COVID-19 task force report as 'misinformation'Global News, Jan 27, 2025: Alberta's COVID-19 report sparks anti-science concern in medical communityCBC via MSN, Jan 27, 2025: Alberta doctors push back on provincial COVID-19 task force reportJohn Carpay in the Western Standard via Justice Centre, Feb 4, 2025: Arrogance is no substitute for scientific debate on CovidTheme Music "Carpay Diem" by Dave StevensSupport the show

Message from Gary Davidson on September 11, 2022

Two Christ Church Cathedral restoration workers have become the first people to legally venture inside the severely damaged building since the city's 2011 earthquake. Senior engineer Pete Carney and site manager Gary Davidson spent 10 minutes inside the iconic structure on Tuesday, marking an important milestone in the project to reinstate the cathedral. Carney spoke to Corin Dann.

We revisit the endlessly fascinating World Football League - and its enigmatic founder/first commissioner Gary Davidson - with ESPN.com senior writer Ryan Hockensmith ("The Renegade Who Took On the NFL [And the NBA and the NHL]").   Drawing on recent interviews with Davidson, former NFL defectors Larry Csonka & Paul Warfield, and previous podcast guests Howard Baldwin & Upton Bell, Hockensmith delves into some of the more memorable (and a few of the truly unbelievable) historical moments in the WFL's brief mid-1970s existence - all one-and-a-half seasons of it.   The tales are tall, but the history is real - and Hockensmith makes it seem as fresh and vivid as the original events themselves nearly 50 years after its flashy debut and quickly spectacular flameout.

It's getting close to dropping the puck for the WHA, but there was a series of franchise moves and ownership changes. Joining Howard Baldwin is the founder and first President of the league --- Gary Davidson.

Gary Davidson -Breaking down Pima County Spending

We steal away for a little summer vacation time this week - but not before sitting down for a massively enjoyable interview with fellow defunct sports enthusiast and long-time friend-of-the-show P.F. Wilson - as a guest on his comedy-tinged podcast "PF's Tape Recorder." P.F. (née Patrick François) is also the creative engine behind one of our longest-running sponsors OldSchoolShirts.com - where our listeners can enjoy a 10% discount on everything in the store, when using the promo code "GOODSEATS" at checkout. Tim and P.F. obsess about all things defunct - including Gary Davidson's WFL Waterloo, the directionally challenged "New York/New Jersey" moniker, long-forgotten college bowl games, who/what (really) killed the USFL, and the MISL's (barely) one-season wonder New Jersey Rockets. Please enjoy this conversation we recorded a few weeks back - and thanks to both P.F. and OldSchoolShirts.com for their support of the show!

What goes into the making of Power Trends, our annual report that tells the story of the electric grid in New York State? And why do you need to read it?In our latest podcast, the NYISO's Ray Stalter and Gary Davidson discuss how Power Trends 2020: The Vision for a Greener Grid, is created to inform policymakers, stakeholders, and others interested in the state of the electric grid in New York, and the forces shaping the grid of the future. Power Trends covers the “need to know” issues associated with meeting our future energy needs in a simple and easy format. “It really does involve the engagement and hard work of pretty much every department within the company,” says Stalter, Director of Regulatory Affairs, who leads the annual publication effort and is one of the primary authors.In this episode, Stalter is joined by co-author Gary Davidson, Regulatory Affairs Principal, to discuss the months it takes to put Power Trends together and its importance to both energy industry stakeholders and the general public. Davidson commented, “it's a labor of love.”Months in the making, Power Trends covers supply and demand trends, the changing resource mix, and the need for investment in transmission.  From the growth of renewable resources to the impact of COVID-19 on power consumption, Power Trends informs and educates on the grid of today and what is being done to enable the state's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, which calls for a carbon-free grid by 2040.Visit the Power Trends 2020 web page: https://bit.ly/2zp87SC

In this bonus episode of Real Estate Investing Unscripted we talk to Gary Davidson of Castle Law, a Chicagoland firm focused on servicing real estate investors.  Gary talks about the key to real estate investing: it isn’t meant to be easy, but it can create more opportunity than any other investment activity or asset class. Instead of trying to be good at all aspects of investing, develop habits and a mindset toward one clear goal. Secondly, focus on the details related to being the best at one thing. Consistency is crucial so that you can make calculated decisions around risk and get the returns you want. Contact Gary at gdavidson@castlelaw.com, www.castlelaw.com or at 708-801-1000.

Two men are arrested after gaming officials investigate a viral video of someone running into a Jacksonville convenience store with a live alligator, and a look back at the Aug. 6, 2004 slayings of six victims who were sleeping inside a home on Telford Lane in Deltona. Special guests: Former Volusia County sheriff Ben Johnson, former Volusia County sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson, former state attorney John Tanner and News-Journal reporters Patricio Balona and Frank Fernandez

We conclude our conversation with WFL researcher Mark Speck (WIFFLE: The Wild, Zany and Sometimes Hilariously True Story of the World Football League; World Football League Encyclopedia; . . .And a Dollar Short: The Empty Promises, Broken Dreams, and Somewhat-Less-Than-Comic Misadventures of the 1974 Florida Blazers), as we find the league limping its way through an inaugural 1974 campaign that featured two mid-season franchise relocations (Houston to Shreveport, and New York to Charlotte), two outright team collapses (Detroit and Jacksonville), dwindling attendance and TV ratings, the ousting of league founder/commissioner Gary Davidson – and a championship “World Bowl” between two cash-strapped finalists (Birmingham and Florida) that was only allowed to take place after the IRS agreed to accept the game’s gate receipts as payment for an overdue tax bill. A return for an improbable second season in 1975 was made possible only by dissolving the league entirely and legally reconstituting into a second incarnation (inexplicably with the same name), under the stricture of resort developer/Hawaiians owner Chris Hemmeter’s eponymous operating plan that called for franchise deposit fees, limited budgets and player revenue-sharing based on business success.  But with no renewed national TV contract (TVS declined the option after Joe Namath spurned the Chicago Winds’ lucrative offer to jump), a now-highly suspicious fan base, and far less press coverage than the previous year’s spectacle, the “new” World Football League fared even worse – folding entirely and for good on October 22, 1975 – after just 13 weeks of play.

Perhaps no defunct league in modern-day professional sports history endured a more ignominious storyline and spectacular demise than that of the World Football League – a uniquely disastrous attempt to establish a summer-into-autumn rival to the National Football League during the mid-1970’s. Brimming with confidence from his co-founding exploits with two previous (and at the time, still very-much-alive) challenger pro circuits – the American Basketball Association in 1967, and the World Hockey Association in 1971 – WFL founder/commissioner Gary Davidson saw the 1974-era National Football League as the next logical target for his quintessentially anti-establishment sports management ambitions.  While the ABA and WHA both eventually yielded successful mergers of their most viable franchises into their established rivals, the World Football League quickly proved to be quite different – and, ultimately, Davidson’s professional and personal Waterloo. The WFL initially succeeded in persuading dozens of NFL stars to jump leagues for its hastily-arranged summer 1974 launch, largely because the NFL had no free agency, and the promise of a legitimate alternative offered newfound leverage for players seeking to improve their market values.  Many who did jump, however, signed “futures” contracts that would only take effect after the expiration of their NFL deals – a proposition that became increasingly dubious as under-capitalized WFL franchises seemingly began shutting down almost as soon as they debuted.  And that was just the start of what quickly became a litany of insurmountable calamities (including scandalous admissions of widespread game attendance inflation) that befell and ultimately subsumed both Davidson, and then the league itself – not once, but twice in just two years. We begin our exploration of this most head-scratching of professional leagues with the dean of WFL researchers Mark Speck (WIFFLE: The Wild, Zany and Sometimes Hilariously True Story of the World Football League; World Football League Encyclopedia; . . .And a Dollar Short: The Empty Promises, Broken Dreams, and Somewhat-Less-Than-Comic Misadventures of the 1974 Florida Blazers), in a gift of an episode that just keeps on giving!
