Today's podcast: Have the federal Liberals and their NDP partners, by introducing and passing the Orwellian legislation Bill C-59, which will silence the energy industry on the truth about emissions control initiatives and cost Canada $-billions. The industry will have to prove to the satisfaction of federal environment minister Steven Guilbeault, any facts on emission reductions. Fedgov states it wants to eliminate so-called "greenwashing" of emissions reporting. Now the Pathway Alliance, a consortium of Canada's six largest oil sands companies which have committed to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from oil sands production by 2050, has basically closed down its website out of concern of the anti-greenwashing component of C-59. Failure to satisfy the fedgov's definition of the truth would result in fines of up to $15-million. and: The election of former Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi as Alberta NDP leader. Guest: Alberta Minister for the Environment Rebecca Schulz. Japan is experiencing an alarming spread of flesh-eating disease.

Justin Trudeau's security advisor is playing down the federal government concealing documents relating directly to foreign interference in Canada from the head of the inquiry Justice Marie-Josee Hogue which Justice Hogue has requested. Position of the Trudeau government is it has chosen to provide the cabinet confidences it considers "most relevant" to the inquiry. This after Trudeau refused to answer reporters (including Global News) question about whether any Liberal MPs were named in the NSICOP report as witting or semi-witting partners of foreign governments. As well, the RCMP Commissioner on CBC said he hopes MPs don't name any politicians accused of aiding foreign powers. Many if not most Canadians want to know exactly that information. Guests:  Kevin Vuong. Independent MP for Spadina-Fort York. Dan McTeague. Former Liberal MP (18 years) and parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Is family law in Canada stacked against fathers? Is the law and are the courts biased against men in judgments concerning divorce, custody, access and support? Guest: Scott Taylor.

Today's podcast: Discussion of issues such as the Johnston Report, Carbon tax, Election issues and more. Guest: Pierre Poilievre. Conservative Party of Canada leader. The Clean Fuel Regulation of the Trudeau government analyzed by the Parliamentary Budget Officer. The PBO calls the CFR "broadly regressive" and says its price increase for gasoline and diesel will by the time it's fully implemented in 2030 be more hurtful to lower-income households in Canada. Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault calls the PBO report "unbalanced" and Gerald Butts, Justin Trudeau's former advisor ripped the report as "incompetence on climate change." - As well, Guilbeault accused the PBO of an 'unbalanced modelling approach" in the "analysis of the price of pollution." PBO report shows most Canadians will be worse off in the federal government's imposed carbon tax. - Plus, what is the expected cost of servicing the $1 trillion-plus national debt? Guest: Yves Giroux. Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO). Says "I can understand that people are not happy when we underline that government action will have repercussions, and in this case, costs, but I stand by the analysis we provided." In 2013, England's chief medical officer warned of a health "armageddon" as bacteria learn to overcome antibiotics and new drugs aren't available to counteract the situation. She said "antibiotics are losing their effectiveness at a ratte that is both alarming and irreversible, similar to global warming. TGhe apocalyptic scenario is that when I need a new hip in 20 years I'll die from a routine infection because we've run out of antibiotics." Ten years later the World Health Organization warns of AMR as a top 10 global public health threat. AMR is "antimicrobial resistance." It is the same issue Professor Sally Edwards warned about in England in 2013. Projections are that by 2050 AMR will cost Canada's healthcare system $7.6 billion. The British medical journal The Lancet showed that in 2019, 1.27 million deaths were already caused by AMR. Between 2010 and 2019, 18 novel antibiotics were introduced across 14 develope nations. Only 2 of these new antibiotics are available in Canada. Guest: Jason Tetro. Microbiologist. Author of: The Germ Guy & The Germ Code. Host of the Super Awesome Science Show on the Curiouscast network. We'll call him Peter in B.C. A former business owner who sent me a disturbing email about an issue not talked about on radio "when China interference and Alberta election dominates". He wrote about how housing unaffordability and household debt is talked about a great deal, as are maxxed out credit cards, etc. Then Peter wrote "I hear nobody talking about all the Canadians who are ALREADY living in their vehicles. I am one of those Canadians living in vehicle. It's brutal! It's tiring. And it's not cheap. In just 4 weeks of living in my vehicle I'm exhausted from lack of sleep, I'm sore, I'm hungry, I'm job hunting feverishly and I'm watching my credit score plummet as I can't keep up with minimum payments. My little 2012 Ford Escape doedsn't have a kitchen. I hope that despite your show's full roster, there's a way to shine a little light on the plight of us who have already fallen through the cracks." Guest: Peter in B.C. Shares his experience. Says he encouters many in the same predicament. --------------------------------------------- Host/Content Producer – Roy Green Technical/Podcast Producer – Tom McKay Podcast Co-Producer – Matt Taylor & Tom Craig If you enjoyed the podcast, tell a friend!

A regular contributor to Huffington Post Canada and a regular guest on CKNW 980AM Global News, Jason has become a leading Canadian media personality on COVID-19 (coronavirus) science, vaccines, and pandemics across Canada, including British Columba (B.C.).

There's no doubt COVID-19 has caused much destruction, but did it create 'Super Gonorrhea?' It's been one year since we first talked about "COVID-19" and the possibilities of a 'pandemic' on the horizon. No one could have imagined 2020 would have turned out the way it did and a 'coronavirus' would have become such a destructive ugly villain! In this episode Jason Tetro "The Germ Guy" joins us once again to recap our 2020 episode Corona Virus: Should We Be Afraid? Jason will review the COVID-19 pathophysiology, why many people diagnosed with COVID-19 are getting pulmonary embolisms, brain aneurysms, and deep vein thrombosis. We'll also take a look at the COVID vaccines, mRNA, and why certain people are having reactions to the vaccine. The role Vitamin D plays in the immune system, does it really protect you against COVID-19? Are children with low vitamin D levels more susceptible to being carriers of COVID-19? Of course, we'll go over what type of medications people diagnosed with COVID-19 are being discharged with, especially why they are being prescribed Azithromycin? Is that causing 'Super Gonnorreah?' A fun episode you won't want to miss! Jason Tetro is the Host of the Super Awesome Science Show Podcast, which is this year's Canadian Podcast Awards Best Science and Medicine Podcast in Canada. He's been researching microbes and our relationship with them for three decades and is a regular in news media.

This episode is part of our in-depth coverage of the Healthcare Infection Transmission Systems Consortium (HITS) 2018 conference in Nashville, TN that took place September 18-20th. Check out all our HITS 2018 episodes here, and look for more throughout the month of October. Adapted from Jason "The Germ Guy" Tetro's Opening Keynote at HITS 2018   Have you ever written the perfect checklist? You left no stone unturned and accounted for every possible step that needed to occur. You trained your staff. Everyone was understood and was on board. But you still failed. Today's guest would tell you that you failed because you took a systematic approach when you really needed a systems approach. A systematic approach takes all the facts into consideration and manifests itself as guidelines, a checklist or standard operating procedure (SOP). It's based in science and best practice. On paper, it makes all the sense in the world. A systems approach considers much more. How does your guideline fit in with the culture of those that will carry it out? Forget whether or not they'll believe it. The question is, will they follow it?  A systems approach requires empathy. It works because it shows people that there's a place for them, and they're culture, within the systematics and steps they need to carry out. This may sound hokey to you. You may shout: “I'm not going to pander to peoples' feelings! I have a business to run!” But you do so at your own peril. You can write your guidelines, checklists and standard operating procedures until you're blue in the face. But if people won't follow them, then you've wasted your time. This, as we like to say on the show, is called confronting reality. On this episode, we're talking with Jason Tetro. He's the microbiologist, author and thought leader better known as The Germ Guy! We recorded this episode live at the Healthcare Infection Transmission System Consortium (HITS) 2018 conference in Nashville, TN where Jason was the opening keynote. In his talk there, Jason explained to us why a systematic approach often falls short in the real world, and why an empathic systems approach may be better suited to help you get your job done. This conversation fits the premise of The #HCBiz Show! as well as any we've done to date. Jason's common sense approach to confronting reality in the healthcare system takes us down interesting paths including the patient workflow (yup… they have one), blockchain, gamification, and even Eminem's song, Lose Yourself. This is good stuff. I promise you'll gain a brand new perspective on a thing or two. Here are some highlights: 0:50 The Germ Guy's journey from the lab to the TV. 3:37 Fixing the public's dysfunctional relationship with microbes. 7:44 Keynote – Systematic vs Systems approach to infection control. The Systematic approach is following the guidance documents and standard operating procedures. The Systems approach takes a universal perspective on how to achieve a goal and, through a multifactorial approach, uses current systems to achieve that goal. It all comes down to empathy. 13:39 Empathy is when the system shows you that there is a place for you and your culture.  If it's right on paper but wrong in the real world, you need to confront the reality you're dealing with and allow the workforce to participate the way they need to. 15:05 Innovation, culture, empowerment. When you forget about those 3 things you're taking away your own capacity to make a difference. Don't just follow rules and regulations if you know there is more that could be done. This must be a democratized system that hears all 20 different components to good infection control. 19:48 Quality measures are too distanced from the patient. There is too much bureaucracy in the way to remember the actual purpose of your actions. 20:55 Blockchain could be the potential link between systems and systematic approaches. What if human activities could be viewed as transactions in real time? You can find a way to develop transactional steps between SOPs to see the most common mistakes and fix the system. 24:20 Tokens and gamification of healthcare. The token can be used as proof of actions or accomplishments that can be used for checkpoints or rewards. 27:15 Physician workflow and the patient journey. What can we do within an existing workflow? How do we collect data while doctors are doing normal tasks without interrupting? Include the patient in providing info that will make doctor's jobs easier. 29:18 Examples of infection prevention and the simple but effective parking idea to make visitors wash their hands. 31:20 Robust checklists can shut off your creativity and problem-solving skills but we know they can be helpful. Where is the line? Checklists work until the parameters around checklist have changed.   This episode was recorded on site at the HITS 2018 conference in Nashville, TN.

We work together to understand and prevent the transmission of pathogens throughout the hospital facility through a collaborative effort that includes engaging in applied research.  The conference is accredited as a provider for continuing education units (CEUs) through National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) and National Board of Public Health Examiners (NBPHE). Join us for this one-of-a-kind, multimodal event where researchers and experts from across disciplines will work toward identifying research gaps and applying data-driven methods in the field. Meet, greet and share ideas with the individuals and organizations who are growing and sustaining the industry as we explore creative and innovative solutions to this global problem. The full 2018 schedule can be found at https://hitsconsortium.org/2018-nashville/2018-schedule/ The HITS organizing committee has assembled world experts and key opinion leaders to share their knowledge and expertise. We host a research poster session to hear from those in healthcare about the research being conducted in their facilities.  We also incorporate workshop breakout sessions each day in order to provide a unique forum through which everyone can interact and be innovative as we work to identify potential solutions to key barriers and develop an agenda for change moving forward into the next year.  After the conference, members have the opportunity to become involved in one of the many research workgroups conducting research around pathogen transmission in healthcare.
