She is joined by Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs, Peter Muggeridge, Senior Editor of Zoomer Magazine, and Anthony Quinn, Chief Community Officer of CARP. A new report from Ontario's Ombudsman has concluded that the Ministry of long-term care was unprepared when it came to inspections of homes during the first COVID-19 wave. Meanwhile, as the Ford government continues to grapple with the Greenbelt scandal, Premier Doug Ford decided to call out Ontario School Boards for "indoctrinating" students on gender issues. Our panel weighs in on the latest. WHEN IT COMES TO SELLING BREAD Liz West is now joined by Consumer advocate Ellen Roseman as well as an Dr. Jennifer Quaid, an Associate Professor and Vice-Dean Research in the Civil Law Section at the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Law. An investigation by the Halifax Examiner that focused on Nova Scotia found that Dollarama stores that shared properties with a Sobeys grocery stores were not selling bread.

The Ontario Auditor General's highly anticipated report on Doug Ford's Greenbelt plans is finally out and what we are learning from it is that developers had a role in influencing the government's decision on where to open up the land for housing development. And, as the 95-page report indicates, these developers could see an $8 billion increase in the value to the land that's being developed. So, what will come from these findings and will the Ford government be held accountable? ---- MORE REACTION TO THE ONTARIO AG REPORT ON DOUG FORD'S GREENBELT PLANS Liz West is now joined by Bob Richardson, Liberal Strategist - Senior Council to National Public Relations.

In the news: A draft of the audit by Ontario AG Bonnie Lysyk looking into Premier Doug Ford's Greenbelt development plans has been shared with Ford himself. The report doesn't officially come out for another few weeks but one of the key questions we have about it is: has Ford tipped off developers in the private sector as it relates to the Greenbelt? Meanwhile, a lot of residents are complaining about accessibility issues with High Park after it underwent some changes.

It opens up a conversation about how much of a toll political life can have on couples and families. ----- WILL JUSTIN TRUDEAU'S SPLIT FROM WIFE AFFECT HIS LEADERSHIP?

As touched on in the previous segment, we learned this week from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife of 18 years, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau that they have separated “after many meaningful and difficult conversations". We don't know what really is the reasoning behind the split at this time, but some are speculating that it could be the toll that political life has on couples and their families. And, now that he is facing a very significant challenge in his personal life, how will it all impact the prime minister's role as the leader of the country? ---- WHICH GROCERY RETAILERS DO CANADIANS RESPECT THE MOST?

JF and Phil have been talking about doing a show on The Glass Bead Game since Weird Studies' earliest beginnings. It is a science-fiction novel that alights on some of the key ideas that run through the podcast: the dichotomy of work and play, the limits and affordances of institutional life, the obscure boundary where certainty gives way to mystery... Throughout his literary career, Hesse wrote about people trying to square their inner and outer selves, their life in the spirit and their life in the world. The Glass Bead Game brings this central concern to a properly ambiguous and heartbreaking conclusion. But the novel is more than a brilliant work of philosophical or psychological literature. It is also an act of prophecy -- one that seems intended for us now. Header image by Liz West, via Wikimedia Commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Green_marbles_2.jpg).

If you enjoy this podcast, consider buying me a coffee: https://adamstoner.com/support On Thursday, I moved from my childhood home of lots-of-years to a new address in a different county. I don't know whether the move went seamlessly or not because I'm writing this newsletter before it happened and I'm doing that because the address I'm moving to is so far in the middle-of-nowhere that I won't have a stable internet connection for well over a week. You'll find out how the move went next month, unless I have been crushed beneath the weight of my collection of half-worn-out but not-too-worn-to-throw-away-yet jeans. Here's what I've been up to this past month: Activity Quest, the weekly magazine programme packed with stuff for families to do out-and-about, is still my primary focus at work. In the past month, Fun Kids presenters have experienced the Tower of London, London Transport Museum, the Imperial War Museum and Wildwood in Kent. Get it wherever you get your podcasts and hear a sneak peek of the next episode in the podcast version of this newsletter, available here. In terms of other listening, I've become somewhat enamoured with Bandcamp, spending way-too-much-money on it in the past month. On it, cosmetic store Lush is selling the bespoke music they use in their spas, all of which is phenomenal. From their Beatles inspired A Hard Days Night album to covers of lullabies and musical walks through nature, the albums are a testament to the unrelenting creativity of Lush's co-founder, Mark Constantine. I went on a little Lush binge-buying session at the start of the month, mainly trying their fragrances. Karma is a Lush staple with its spice and orange (more summer-leaning than Christmas) and Pansy is a must-buy if the scent of a Lush store, wafting down the high street, is a turn-on for you. It had been almost a year since I last ordered from them and in that time they've reformulated some of my old favourites but their toothpaste and mouthwash tabs (nibble and brush, or nibble and sip water) are still incredible inventions as is The Olive Branch shower gel… I'm thrilled to see Moneybox, the investment app I am an investor of myself, do so well with their first round of crowdfunding, raising over £7 million. The app itself is brilliant, if you've never used it; a real set-and-forget approach to saving. I'm very proud of all the companies I'm an investor of, all of which are more-than-profit, UK-based enterprises. Black Bee Honey, award winning unblended and unpasteurised British Honey from Somerset and London. The Wild Beer Co., also Somerset based, known for its use of alternative fermentations, unorthodox yeasts, seasonally-foraged ingredients and exotic produce. Moneybox, the savings app that rounds-up your purchases and saves the loose change in ISAs you control, including socially-responsible funds. Reach out if you plan to support one and I may be able to set you up with a little extra. I've been trying to think of ways I can appropriately mark this change in my life; not just moving home, but also the world slowly waking back up after the biggest global hibernation in centuries. That said, here are some artists whose work I've been inspired by recently. Whatever I do to highlight this change in my personal life, it's highly likely I'll have drawn on their work too: Liz West, whose work on colour bends buildings and enhances architecture Andy Warhol, whose exhibition in London I desperately want to see before it closes in November and whose technique (screen-printing) I love Samuel Burgess Johnson's work around type Brian Eno's January 07003 album, focused around bells, the sounds they make, and their uses in culture Alright, that's all for now. As I mentioned in the opener, I'm in a place without a stable internet connection for the next week or so. Email me@adamstoner.com to say hi or chat to me about anything in this newsletter and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Enneagram trainer Liz West joins us on the show to talk about this ancient tool for transformation. You may have seen the rather "dodgy" looking enneagram symbol, but don’t be put off. This is an ancient treasure that goes right back to the fourth century desert mothers and fathers who began to discern the things that blocked our relationships with ourselves, with others and with God. And that’s what make the enneagram unique. It doesn’t so much reveal who you are, as the coping mechanisms you’ve developed that have become blockages to your transformation. Interview begins at 17m 9s If you’re still not convinced having listened to the interview, then head over to patreon where you can listen in on Tim getting enneagram-ed!
