The Horror Short Film Director Roundtable is one of the most important things that we did at the Portland Horror Film Festival. It provided an elevated platform for horror short filmmakers. Oftentimes, this is ground zero for original horror ideas. Unless you are a Hollywood nepo-director, short film creation is where you learn your chops. I wanted to give these creatives an opportunity to share their experiences in making movies, both good and bad, so that we can all learn a little more about the craft. Life as a short filmmaker can be an experience in the shadows. Your films are rarely seen outside of film festivals, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. This is where most creative minds hone their crafts. Take a simple concept and do it well. Do you have something scary or funny to tell? Is there an idea that has been lurking in the back of your brain that you have to give life to? A short film will give you the opportunity to learn production, editing, budgeting, and team management. It also places you in a community of people who are open to sharing their work with one another. That’s where the round table fits in. After our discussion, I told the group that, even though I wanted this discussion to be a forum for them to share their wins and losses with each other, I selfishly set up this talk so I could learn more about horror moviemaking. Nine years in on being a small horror press journalist, and I still feel like I am only scratching the surface about what a director has to do. Just how do you do it? These discussions give me more talking points and access to better questions to ask. The Portland Horror Film Festival is one of the best curated horror film festivals in the country. Not only do Gwen and Brian Callahan select some of the best horror short films for their festivals, but they also provide opportunities for short film alumni to showcase their feature films. One of the questions I asked in our roundtable discussion was, “How many of you are looking to be feature film directors?” All of them raised their hands (with the exception of Patrick Hogan, who has already directed a feature film). For these directors, here is some encouraging data. This year alone had FIVE directors who previously presented short films at either PHFF or the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival and later had their feature films shown at these festivals. Here are the PHFF Alumni filmmakers who presented a short film and then a feature: Anthony Cousins: Short Films – “The Bloody Ballad of Squirt Reynolds” and “Every Time We Meet for Ice Cream Your Whole Fucking Face Explodes” to Feature Films – Frogman (2023) and Frogman Returns (2026) Jeff Ferrell: Short Film – “Morella” to Feature Film – The Demonatrix (2026) Levi Buchannan: Short Film – “We Said Forever” to Feature Film Sitra Achra (2026) Krsy Fox: Short Film – “What the Spell” to Feature Film – Big Baby (2026) Masaki Nishiyama: Short Film “Smahorror” to Feature Film “The Invisible Half” (2026) Zack Ogle: Short Film “We Got a Monkey’s Paw” to Feature Film – It Needs Eyes (2025) Craig Ouellette: “Str$p” to Feature Film – Straight on Til Morning (2025) Andrew Bowser: Short Film – “Little Willy” to Feature Film – Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Evil (2022) Izzy Lee: “My Monster”, “Dark Signals”, “Rehomed” to Feature Film – House of Ashes (2024) Kenichi Ugana: Short Film – “Visitors” to Feature Film – Love Will Tear Us Apart (2023) Alice Maio Mackay: Short Film – “The Serpent’s Skin” to Feature Film T-Blockers (2023) Matthew John Lawrence: Short Film “Larry Gone Demon” to Feature Film – Uncle Peckerhead (2020) Justin Harding: Short Film “Kookie” to Feature Film – Making Monsters (2019) The PHFF Horror Short Film Director Roundtable Recording: Here is the roundtable discussion. It’s all about the lessons learned. The good, the bad, and the ridiculous. My past experience doing these round tables sometimes put the filmmakers on the spot, and I didn’t want this to be a “stump the directors” exercise. I prepared them with the following questions: Apart from financing, what was the biggest challenge in making your movie? What was the most interesting thing you learned while making this film? How many of you are filmmakers as a second career? What remains a mystery to you as a filmmaker that you think might be answered by one of your peers in this discussion? What piece of advice do you have for your fellow directors? This group really got into the discussion, and had the festival not started up, we could have gone on for quite a while longer. I had a great time, and I believe they did as well. The Horror Short Film Director Roundtable Films: Blindsided Directed by P. Patrick HoganStarring Crystal LoverroPortland Horror Film Festival: Winner of the Devil’s Discord (Best Sound Design) A blind schoolteacher struggles to survive through a nightmarish night when an alien spaceship crashes and unleashes a monstrous predator. This unique horror short film features an all-low-vision cast and places the audience in the POV of a blind protagonist who is only able to hear what happens around her. Director Statements: “Blindsided is a riveting short horror film that takes a unique narrative approach, providing audiences with an immersive glimpse into the harrowing experience of Maria, a blind woman confronting the most terrifying ordeal of her life. The horror remains unseen, both to her and the audience, heightening the suspense and reminding us that sometimes, the most terrifying things are the ones we don’t see coming… This is an innovative short film that ventures into uncharted territory within the horror genre. The narrative unfolds in a tranquil neighborhood, abruptly disrupted by a crashing alien spacecraft and the horrifying monster it unleashes into the night. However, what sets this film apart is the unique perspective from which the story is told – the POV of Maria, a blind schoolteacher living alone. Maria’s desperate struggle to evade the otherworldly predator, guided solely by what she hears, will provide an experience unlike any other horror short. Additionally, to promote diversity and inclusivity, in conjunction with our Disability Authenticity Consultant Vanni Le and Casting Director Danielle Pretsfelder Demchick, all the characters in the film are played by low-vision actors, placing the spotlight on the often-overlooked talent within the low-vision community. We are very proud of Blindsided and look forward to enjoying it in theaters with an audience who doesn’t know what they are about to experience.” Scullion Written and Directed by Trevor GracianoStarring: Whitney Garner as “Samantha”, Cody Parr as “Greg”, and Jim Close as “The Maid” A playful couple test their household chore habits and unknowingly summon a vengeful presence. Director Statements: “We all carry habits inherited from our parents into adulthood. I grew up in a religious household where some of those habits were helpful, but many were not—and they've lingered in ways I don't welcome. Some habits fade with time, while others remain, quietly shaping us in the background. This film explores the struggle to break free from those ingrained patterns, and the imaginative consequences of what happens when they refuse to let go. *It's really just about how to load the communal dishwasher correctly.” Worst Thing You’ve Ever Done Directed by PJ GermainWritten by Autumn Palen and PJ GermainStarring: Brady Gentry, Benjamin Nowak, Bix Krieger, Charlie N. Townsend, Cailyn Rice, Ethan Ahn, Emma Smith Watts, and Erin Rae Kykendall HIGH SCHOOL REALLY SUCKS… and no one knows that better than best friends Aaron and Keith. So when they set out to crash the last graduation party of the summer, emotions fly high, and the culture clash of teenagers finds them playing a simple game that has dire consequences. Director’s Statement: “Before he passed, screenwriter Gil Dennis told me during my time at AFI, “Write what hurts.” That idea has stayed with me; it's the compass I use when choosing the stories I want to tell. When I first read Autumn Palen's original draft of Worst Thing You've Ever Done, it hurt. It transported me back to moments in my own adolescence; memories filled with shame, ridicule, and isolation. But what floored me was its third-act twist. It was something I'd never felt so viscerally in a short script. I knew I had to direct it. What began as a contained character piece evolved into something more personal. I rewrote the script to reflect my own lived experiences, with every character, every event drawn from real moments that left a mark. I wanted to take a character that I felt so intertwined with, and make him someone that the audience would really relate to before reaching the moment where everything changes; the blood-drenched punchline to the twisted joke these high school kids played on each other. I set it during the 90’s, as it was a period of transition for me as an 80’s kid, being on the cusp of the old and new world. I needed the film to be an exploration of adolescent loneliness which dealt with the complexity of the friendships and social hierarchies that often defined who we were at that fragile age. We weren’t quite kids anymore, but we weren’t adults yet either, so how did we approach the consequences of reckless behavior? My team and I knew that casting would make or break the film. To capture that truth, casting was everything. I reviewed over 6,000 submissions, narrowing it down to a callback of who I thought could embody the characters. I needed authenticity, so at that callback, I ditched the script and asked actors, in character, to describe moments like first dates or getting asked to prom. It revealed who leaped from the page and became real. A week before we were to start shooting, my original cinematographer had to back out due to a conflict with the TV series he was currently shooting, and months of planning began to crumble. In the days leading up to whether or not we were going to cancel the project entirely, my long-time collaborator and cinematographer Jeff Billings took on the task. We shot the film over 3 tireless days, and as any director knows, you plan as much as you can; however, the plan eventually goes out the window. So I played a game of pivoting and being malleable myself in order to get what we needed to tell the story. The film is a testament to all the parts working together for a singular goal, and my hope is that when that first music cue drops, the audience is strapped in and ready to ride the roller coaster to that final frame.” https://vimeo.com/1071562836/377ba7d361?fl=pl&fe=cm Cat and Mouse Written and Directed by Brady CatesStarring: Halima Kamara as “Michelle”, Collan Simmons as “Felix, and Ron LaprechtEdited by Luke Oleen Junk, and Hayley Frederick Michelle is caught in a killer’s sadistic and carefully orchestrated game. With danger closing in at every turn, Michelle must outwit and outlast her relentless pursuer. But as the night goes on, unsettling clues reveal that all may not be what it seems. This time, it's the mouse's turn to catch the cat. My Severed Arm Written and Directed by Casey de FremeryStarring: Olivia Rose Prince as “Sidney”, Ryan Romine as “Mason”, and Julia Linger as “Commercial Model”Portland Horror Film Festival: Funny Bone Award for Exceptional Horror Comedy A woman tries to escape a serial killer using DIY videos, but the internet won't stop trying to sell her things first. Director’s Statement: “My Severed Arm is a horror-comedy about a “final girl” who, after fleeing into a cabin in the woods, discovers that her greatest threat isn't the machete-wielding slasher outside—it's the barrage of unskippable ads and paywalls blocking her access to life-saving information. Trapped, bleeding, and desperate to repair the tools around her, she turns to YouTube—but instead of help, she's ambushed by holographic tutorials and polished commercial spokespeople invading the cabin like digital ghosts. The film began with a thought I couldn't shake: what if you had to listen to ads when calling 911? It was a joke at first, but one that felt eerily plausible five minutes into the future. I've learned so many practical things through platforms like YouTube, but over time, that access has been buried beneath monetization schemes, misinformation, and endless self-promotional detours. This story is my response to that frustration—exaggerated into a literal life-or-death scenario. Stylistically, I wanted to evoke the stark, grim energy of Evil Dead or Cabin in the Woods, but undercut it with the absurdity of consumer culture leaking into every moment. That blend of horror and comedy, physical space and digital intrusion, is what drives the tone. At its core, My Severed Arm is about survival—both in the horror-movie and digital sense. It's about what happens when urgency meets algorithm, when access to knowledge is shaped by incentive structures that don't care if you bleed out. The film asks: what good is information if it's hidden behind paywalls, pop-ups, and promo codes? But more than anything, I want the audience to laugh, cringe, and feel that creeping recognition that this isn't the future – it's the now.” Into The Stand Directed by Mackenzie Hamilton and Taylor FuchsWritten by Mackenzie HamiltonStarring: Sarah Rich as “Quinn”, Ariana Raygoza as “Rosa”, and Nick Dietrich Tree planters Quinn and Rosa return to camp for another summer in the wilderness. Rosa is newly sober, and Quinn is quietly anxious about how she'll handle the camp's hard-partying culture. At the welcome-back party, Rosa is tempted to drink, prompting Quinn to intervene. Shaken, Rosa heads into the forest to clear her head, but doesn't come back. When Quinn goes after her, she's met with eerie signs: strange noises, a mangled deer, and an odd light deep in the woods. As the forest closes in, Quinn questions if there is something else out there. Director’s Statement: The woods have always haunted me. Growing up in rural Vancouver Island, I would often cut through forest trails to reach friends’ houses. When it was night, we would meet in the middle of the trail to keep each other safe. Thankfully, we always found each other, but I frequently wondered what if we didn't? What if something else was out there, waiting in the darkness of the woods? Into the Stand is inspired by the many times I scared myself on those trails, letting my imagination run wild. Now that I'm older, my fears are centered around more tangible things, like navigating how to let go of people you love when you can't control what they're going through. This story is deeply informed by themes of sobriety, codependency, and how the urge to help someone can sometimes lead you somewhere dark. Ultimately, Into the Stand is a fun horror made in the community I grew up in with friends who helped bring it to life. My husband and I co-directed this short film, transforming the woods on my parents' farm into a tree-planting camp, and had a blast turning a familiar place into something eerie and cinematic. It's a scary film that is personal and full of heart, and I'm overjoyed to be telling stories in the places that shaped me. –Mackenzie Hamilton and Taylor Fuchs Nurture Written and Directed by Nick SnyderProduced by Sam SnyderStarring: Travis Bilenski as “Ren, and Kailey Rhodes as “Rose”Portland Horror Film Festival: Winner – Goule D’or Best Short On a remote Oregon farm, a couple grieving from a miscarriage finds hope in a mysterious flower. But as it heals her, the flower takes root in him. Nurture is a dialogue-free folk-horror fable about love, grief, and the consequences of taking too much from nature. Director’s Statement: NURTURE marks my return to narrative filmmaking after years of honing my craft in visual effects, motion design, and commercial work. Inspired by the Pacific Northwest and the quiet mythology of its forests, this dialogue-free folk horror short explores grief through the lens of a nature curse. Where grief deepens love and a curse demands sacrifice, NURTURE examines the dangerous hope that something broken can be restored without cost. Other Notable Horror Shorts from the Festival: There were 48 short films shown at the Festival, selected from over 500 submissions. Here are a few notable and favorite films that were also showing at the festival. Famous Directed by Rosita Lama MuvdiWritten by Jordan MonaghanStarring Jordan Monaghan “A young woman desperate for social media fame exploits her father's death to go viral. But the volatile world of internet stardom pushes her to the edge.” Punchy and poignant. Famous taps into the darkest desires of influencers desperate to get likes. Just how far will you go for a few more “likes and subscribes”? Jordan Monaghan chases likes the wrong way in “Famous” (2026) Favela Amarela (Brazil) Written and Directed by Nicolas Lobato and Tiago TuchuStarring Richard Abelha, Giselle Batista, and Sai “A student from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro joins the local drug militia to pay for college and uncovers an NGO linked to powerful politicians that hides dark rituals devoted to the King in Yellow.” I won’t be surprised if this stunning short film also plays at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival. It is saturated in Brazilian culture, mixed with a heavy application of Cosmic Horror. Favela Amarela (2026) Wall Udder Written and Directed by Alexandra HaydenStarring Kevin Grady, Sawyer Fuller, and Bries Vannon “A dissatisfied woman confronts repressed feelings of malaise after her partner comes home smelling like milk.” Hysterically gag-inducingly funny! There is a double-punchline gag that brought the house down. Part of the Shorts Gone Wild block at PHFF, where the festival screens the zaniest submitted shorts. This did not disappoint. Ewwww! Who wants some milk? “Wall Udder” (2026) Tooth-Hurty! Directed by Jude MadonnaWritten by Katie SmallStarring Katie Small, Jude Madonna, Brook Hogan, and Tommy HardenPortland Horror Film Festival Winner: Abby Normal Award: For the exceptionally weird and disturbing “Lucy is a people-pleasing writer-photographer whose dream of being an artist remains just out of reach. A comment from her boyfriend about her teeth triggers Lucy to make an appointment for a dental checkup for the first time in years with the mysterious yet heavily advertised Big Smiles Dentistry.” Super clever! There should be more horror movies about trips to the dentist. This made my toes curl and had me in stitches, as well. Say Ahhh! Katie Small in “Tooth-Hurty!” (2026) CHÄIR Directed by Chris McInroyWritten by Chris McInroy and Carlos La RottaStarring Carlos LaRotta, Kim Lowery, and Chloe McInroy “Carl just wanted to sit down. The chair had other plans.” I am always a fan of Chris McInroy. He and Carlos do a crazy short film every year. I am in awe of how these guys make deadpan, silly, and super-gory original content. It won’t be long before they release a greatest-hits compilation, and I will be in line to buy it. This spoof on Ikea furniture assembly is a tribute to all of us who have struggled to assemble the Scandinavian furniture at home. Carlos LaRotta contemplates his struggles putting a chair together in “CHÄIR” (2026) The Bones Exist Directed by Kelsey Bollig and Matthew DuVallWritten by Matthew DuVallStarring: Alex Pena as “Manny”, Siya Maleki as “Diego”, Jack Campbell as “Don Rob”, Michael Manzako as “The Boy”, and Alex Bankler as the Utah Raptor.Portland Horror Film Festival Winner: Tompe L’oiel Award for Best Special Effects In the unforgiving wilderness of 1850s Alta California, a dwindling group of gold prospectors encounters a feral boy who forces the men to confront the horrors lurking in the woods and the sins of their past. This combines two of my favorite genres: Dinosaurs and Westerns. Perhaps not done since The Valley of Gwanji, The Bones Exists shows plenty of raptors hunting cowboys and does so convincingly. Bonus points for showing the most current understanding of raptors as feathered dinos. Munch Munch! “The Bones Exist” (2026) Flush (France) Written and Directed by Raphaël TreinerStarring Eléonore Gurrey as “Marianne” and Christophe Ntakabenura as “Ben” Abominable plumbing and violent deaths. MARIANNE, extremely pregnant, and BEN, a plumber and one-night stand, team up to survive an epic night and face the monsters of a building beset by an unknown evil. I am a sucker for the Trapped in a Bathroom trope, even going so far as to host a Crypticon horror panel on the topic. This film goes to the top (plumbing) shelf. This is Cosmic horror that brings all the icky, goopy, nasty elements you might expect from this theme is on full display. To think that an effective little romance element managed to sneak into the plot, and you have something unusually effective. I love it when the French go weird. Eléonore Gurrey and Christophe Ntakabenura are unlikely allies in “Flush” (2026)
Neoborn Caveman reads from the Dalai Lama's Book of Joy on how warm-heartedness dissolves loneliness and excessive self-focus creates the very alienation it chases, then turns the mirror and names the real war as the internal one where we suppress what we feel because the structure around us taught us to bury it. NC walks through a series of care home sexual assaults in Sweden where courts described the rape of an 82-year-old as short-lived and mitigated, declares rapists lose the identity of human, marks the 20th anniversary of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault and connects it to Monsanto's seed patent monopoly, then addresses the Powassan virus spreading across the US with 15-minute tick transmission and permanent neurological damage while drawing the Plum Island and Bill Gates lineage, and closes with a declaration of why America remains the greatest hope for humanity through faith, freedom, diversity and 36 million small businesses. Season 10 is gearing up with back catalog episodes and two new songs premiere from pMad and Inoxidables.Music guests: pMad, InoxidablesKey TakeawaysThe Dalai Lama argues excessive self-focus creates the very alienation and loneliness it tries to escape.The real war is internal — suppressing inner truth to adapt into structures designed to suppress us.Swedish courts classified the rape of an 82-year-old as mitigated because it was short-lived and without blows.A rapist loses the identity of human regardless of nationality or background.The Svalbard Global Seed Vault holds 2.25 billion seeds and was designed to survive the melting of every ice cap.Monsanto created heroin as children's cough syrup and now patents seeds while neighboring farms fail.Powassan virus transmits within 15 minutes and half of survivors suffer permanent neurological damage.CDC advice to keep grass short contradicts climate policy demanding taller grass.America has 36 million small businesses and the foundational principle that rule belongs to the free.Heaven on earth is not naive to imagine if America pursues its founding promise.Sound Bites"Is there a life after death? Well, that's not the right question. The right question is, is there a life before death?""However difficult it is to hear, it's us.""A rapist has no place in human society, period.""The court considered number of alleged mitigating factors, describing the rape as short-lived and one that occurred without threats or blows.""It is designed to remain dry, even if every ice cap on the planet melts.""You can't have your own seed.""I'm not going to say that this deadly new virus slash tick nightmare has anything to do with Bill Gates.""America is the greatest hope for the whole humanity.""Free is not when your speech is curtailed or when your government can grab you from home because you posted something online.""Heaven on earth can be created."Support the show and join the free tea house conversation at patreon.com/theneoborncavemanshow.Humanity centered satirical takes on the world & news + music - with a marble mouthed host.

Is the Medical Aid in Dying Movement Opening Up a Bigger Conversation? As Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) legislation continues to expand across the United States, a deeper question is emerging: What is really driving the conversation? In this episode, Suzanne B. O'Brien, RN, Founder and CEO of Doulagivers Institute and author of The Good Death, explores the growing movement around Medical Aid in Dying and asks us to look beneath the headlines, politics, and debates to uncover what many people are truly seeking. Suzanne recently appeared on the nationally acclaimed Freakonomics Radio podcast alongside New York Governor Kathy Hochul, who discussed her decision to sign Medical Aid in Dying into law in New York State. While opinions on MAID vary widely, Suzanne believes there is one important truth that deserves more attention: The desire for Medical Aid in Dying is often rooted in fear. Fear of pain. Fear of prolonged suffering. Fear of loss of dignity. Fear of losing autonomy. Fear of becoming a burden to loved ones. But what if, instead of debating only the final decision, we focused on addressing the fears that lead people there? Drawing on more than 20 years as a hospice and oncology nurse and the bedside wisdom of over 1,000 dying patients, Suzanne shares how education, preparation, community support, and compassionate end-of-life care can transform fear into peace. This episode opens an important conversation about what it means to die well—and ultimately, what it means to live well. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why Medical Aid in Dying has become such an important public conversation The fears that most commonly arise at the end of life What thousands of patients have taught Suzanne about suffering, peace, and quality of life How lack of education around dying creates unnecessary fear The difference between a medical event and a human experience Why end-of-life planning can dramatically reduce suffering How communities can reclaim the sacred role of caring for one another The critical gaps in our healthcare system around aging, caregiving, and end-of-life support What families can do now to prepare with greater confidence and peace of mind A Question Worth Asking If people are choosing Medical Aid in Dying because they fear pain, suffering, loss of dignity, or becoming a burden... Shouldn't we first make sure they have access to the education, support, resources, and care that can address those fears? That is the conversation Suzanne believes is the invitation of this moment: Returning Death Back to Sacred Experience it was meant to be.

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
Medical Assistance in Dying has been available in Canada for 10 years. But the program is not accessible for patients whose only condition is mental illness. Right now, the rules are set to expand to include those patients starting in March 2027. But this week, a Parliamentary committee advised the government to press pause on that plan indefinitely. How does Canada's decision to pause MAiD for mental illness affect you? Is it the right or wrong thing to do?

Opioid overdose deaths are dropping in Canada, but there is still a long way to go. Canada's Fentanyl Czar Kevin Brosseau is fresh back from meeting officials in Washington, he tells The House what worries him most about this public health crisis and why the increasingly small quantity of opioids crossing the border is still an irritant for the Americans. Plus, a special parliamentary committee says Ottawa should 'indefinitely exclude' people whose sole underlying condition is a mental illness from applying for medical assistance in dying — an idea that three Canadian senators vigorously oppose. Kristopher Wells, a member of the Progressive Senate Group, explains why he disagrees with the recommendation. Then we hear from BC Conservative MP Tamara Jansen on why MAID expansion should be stopped. And, if at first you don't succeed with your privacy bill: try, try again. The Liberals' third attempt at updating its privacy laws was tabled earlier this week, which includes a 'right to request deletion' and rules on personal data collection. House producer Derek Vanderwyk explains what's inside this key piece of legislation, then BlackBerry co-founder Jim Balsillie discusses whether it strikes the right balance on upholding Canadians' privacy without stymieing innovation.This episode features the voices of:Kevin Brosseau, Canada's fentanyl czarKristopher Wells, Canadian senatorTamara Jensen, Conservative MPDr. Francois Marquis, deepfake victimDr. Marla Shapiro, deepfake victimTamir Israel, Director of the Privacy, Surveillance & Technology Program at the Canadian Civil Liberties AssociationTeresa Scassa, Canada Research Chair in Information Law and Policy at the University of OttawaTaylor Owen, Beaverbrook Chair in Ethics, Media and Communications at McGill UniversityJim Balsillie, co-founder of BlackBerry

What does she think of this week's report on MAID and mental illness? Checking in with a friend of the show in Boston ahead of the World Cup game. GUESTS: Bill Carroll - Morning man at CFRA in Boston for the Scotland vs Morocco game Claire Brosseau - woman who is seeking MAID, applicant in a constitutional challenge against the Government of Canada
A special parliamentary committee is recommending that the federal government "indefinitely exclude" people whose sole underlying condition is a mental illness from applying for medical assistance in dying (MAID). Recent polling from Angus Reid found the country is divided when it comes to expanding MAID, while some legal experts say it is a violation of people's constitutional rights.
Elias Makos is joined by Caroline Codsi, Founder & Chief Equity Officer, Women in Governance, and Lea Streliski, Best-selling author, comedian and columnist. The Quebec Liberal Party unveiled a big name yesterday in their list of candidates for the provincial election. Antoine Dionne Charest, the son of former Premier Jean Charest, will be running in the riding of Verdun for the party in the fall. The joint House of Commons and Senate committee studying medical assistance in dying is recommending the federal government to indefinitely exclude people with mental illness from becoming eligible to use MAID. Despite the city’s best efforts to have us recycle or compost, we just are not listening. A recent survey by Flight Centre Canada says that 93% of Canadians who are familiar with overtourism are adjusting their plans for the summer of 2026.
Your reaction to a recommendation from a Parliamentary committee to the idea of expanding Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) for people whose suffering stems from mental issues.
A parliamentary committee recommends against expanding MAID to people with mental illness; Prime Minister Mark Carney praised the Iran agreement and signaled Canada could help with rebuilding efforts; A new report on the Titan submersible tragedy cites major regulatory gaps. Garrett Barry reports on what investigators say went wrong.
A Canadian was just released from an ICE detention centre where he spent the last eight months. He tells us he's glad to be out -- and eager to make sure the world knows just how bad it is inside.The co-chair of the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying tells us why they've recommended that the government indefinitely pause the proposed expansion of MAID to include people whose only underlying medical condition is mental illness.An eighteen-year-old who suffered severe burns to her face and neck this past December is now almost fully healed -- thanks to a groundbreaking new treatment. A psychologist packed up to move from the U.S. to Canada -- only to discover that she's one of many whose newly granted citizenship certificates have been mysteriously suspended by the Canadian government. New York is getting yet another new area code -- and a phone number broker tell us if you hate the idea of 465 as much he does -- he can hook you up with a classic 212 -- for a price. In Peru, police officers arrest a World Cup-loving suspect by dressing up as the Canadian mascot -- a moose -- and the U.S. mascot -- an eagle -- both of whom then smashed their way into his house.As It Happens, the Wednesday Edition. Radio that's there when plush comes to shove.
In December, AFP published a fact-check about me by name. Last month, CTV turned that fact-check into a segment called Deception Decoded, using clips from my appearance on The Blendr Report.Neither outlet contacted me before publishing. Not once.In this episode, I do what they didn't: go through their claims line by line. What I actually said, what they say I said, and what their own reporting confirms — including that Canada leads the world in organ donation after assisted death and that more than 16,000 Canadians underwent MAID in 2024 alone.I also examine why Health Canada — the government agency responsible for overseeing the program — was presented as the primary authority for evaluating questions and concerns about MAID. And why that matters as Canada moves toward expanding eligibility to individuals experiencing mental health conditions in 2027.My invitation remains open to both AFP and CTV: come on the show and have the conversation you never offered me.Sources• AFP Fact Check (December 10, 2025)• CTV Deception Decoded (May 11, 2026)• Health Canada Annual Report on Medical Assistance in Dying (2024)• Bill C-62 and MAID Expansion Timeline• Original Blendr Report Appearance (Full Unedited Episode)Chapters0:00 — They Built a Segment Around Me and Never Called1:30 — What Actually Happened4:00 — What I Said vs. What They Say I Said7:00 — What Their Own Article Admits10:30 — When the Government Grades Its Own Program14:00 — What's Coming in 2027 and Why It Matters17:00 — My Open InvitationBuy 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

Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program has expanded significantly since it was first introduced, and further changes remain the subject of ongoing public debate.Supporters argue that MAID provides autonomy and compassion for those facing difficult circumstances. Critics raise questions about safeguards, eligibility, mental illness, disability, and the long-term implications of continued expansion.In this episode, Kelsi Sheren sits down with Alex Schadenberg, Executive Director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, to examine how Canada's MAID system has evolved, what changes are being proposed, and why the conversation continues to generate strong opinions across the country.Together they discuss:• How MAID developed in Canada• Recent changes and proposed expansions• The debate surrounding mental illness eligibility• Questions about safeguards and oversight• How Canada compares with other countries• Why the issue remains deeply controversial• What policymakers, families, and health professionals are grappling with moving forwardWhether you support MAID, oppose it, or remain undecided, this conversation explores one of the most important ethical and policy debates facing Canada today.- - - - - - - - - - -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
In this episode of What We Can't Not Talk About, Dr. Kristin Collier of the University of Michigan joins us to discuss a side of medicine often forgotten—considering the doctors and patients as both body and soul—and the implications this has on the field of medicine. Dr. Collier also discusses the rise of physician-assisted suicide in the West, and how this changes the relationship between doctor and patient.
In this episode Kyle and Chris drink lite beer and take a nice little jaunt through the headlines and topics of interest. We discuss the differences in the social movements of the 1960s and the modern day that classify themselves under the trans umbrella. We share embarrassing personal stories, discuss the prevalence of parasites in the industrialized world and shine a light on the statistics surrounding male and female violence. Demons, racial unrest in the U.K., and the reality check of World Cup visitors in the U.S. are all on the table. Enjoy ;)

189 Cumulus: Reimagining Digital Memorials and Legacy with Architect-Founder Alexander Josephson Host Marie Betcher, a registered nurse and former hospice nurse, interviews Alexander Josephson, creator of Cumulus, a Toronto/New York-based digital memorial platform designed as an immersive "memory cloud" where families can store and experience photos, videos, notes, and other legacy content in VR-accessible spaces, with mapping for gravesites or ash scatterings. Josephson shares how repeated family encounters with death—his grandparents' passing, his grandmother's Lewy body dementia, and his father's cancer, chemotherapy, and near-fatal COVID ICU stay—inspired him to build a trusted digital "place" for remembrance beyond gravestones or genealogy. He explains collaboration features, admin controls, next-of-kin account transfer, pricing tiers, and plans for a perpetuity trust, noting current users and rollout to funeral homes and cemeteries.

Iceman, Habibti, & Maid of Honor all get Reviewed + Giveon and 6lack Projects get the recognition they deserve.
It's the 22nd anniversary of Marvin Heemeyer's killdozer rampage through Granby, Colorado, and Frank welcomes back Jay to walk the timeline. Two acres at auction, a concrete plant blocking his access, a check stamped "cowards," and a year of secret welding inside a Komatsu D355A. The episode threads George Bernard Shaw, John Adams on studying war, and JFK on peaceful revolution into a single question: how unreasonable do good men have to be willing to get? From there, the grievances stack. New York is replacing mother and father with "gestating parent" on official documents. A Canadian doctor allegedly assessed a 45 year old man with Crohn's for medically assisted death in a Tim Hortons parking lot, then forgot a drug from the cocktail and the patient briefly came back to life. Oregon wants to ban hunting and fishing in a state with no late term abortion limit. AJ from Twitch calls in to ask where the line actually is. Frank reads excerpts from the Unabomber manifesto, Jay pushes back on Kaczynski's tidy leftist conservative dichotomy, and the night closes with sperm whales speaking Chinese.
This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, Sam Stone is joined by Jonathan Butcher, Scot Mussi, Lou Perez, and John Lee to discuss higher education, Arizona school choice, comedy, culture, and Canada's euthanasia controversy. The show is then turned over to Chuck Warren who sits down with Dr. John Lee for a one on one talk on China, Iran, critical minerals, and U.S. foreign policy. The episode wraps with B's Crime Corner and a disturbing true crime case unravleing in Ohio. Jonathan Butcher, Acting Director of the Center for Education Policy and Will Skillman Senior Research Fellow in Education Policy at The Heritage Foundation, joins the show to discuss his book Higher Education in America: It's Worse than You Think. Butcher breaks down the rising cost of college, the unclear pricing behind tuition, the role of federal student loans in tuition inflation, and the ideological imbalance on many campuses. He also discusses threats facing Jewish students, the impact of campus culture on young men and women, declining birth rates, and why lawmakers need to enforce the law on college campuses. The conversation also looks at trade schools, career readiness, and why America needs to rethink the idea that every student must follow the traditional college path. Want a copy of Jonathan Butcher's book, Higher Education in America: It's Worse than You Think?

Follow Jonathan Butcher on X: @JM_Butcher Scot Mussi, President of the Arizona Free Enterprise Club, joins Sam to discuss the fight over Arizona's school choice program and a ballot initiative backed by the Washington, D.C. Teachers Union that could impact more than 100,000 students. Mussi explains why school choice matters for families, including students with special needs, and why the fight over education funding is becoming one of the biggest political battles in Arizona. He also discusses Republican enthusiasm ahead of the November midterm elections, border security, cost of living, local spending, municipal budget increases, tax burdens, and what conservatives need to do to turn voter enthusiasm into turnout. Follow Scot Mussi on X: @ScotMussi Follow Arizona Free Enterprise Club on X: @azfec Website: azfree.org Comedian, producer, and author Lou Perez joins the program to discuss a troubling medical assistance in dying case out of Canada involving a 45-year-old man with inflammatory bowel disease and mental health struggles who was assessed for euthanasia outside a Tim Hortons before dying without his family being informed. Lou and Sam discuss the ethical questions surrounding Canada's MAID system, the consequences for the doctor involved, and the documentary Better Off Dead, which examines euthanasia practices in Canada. Follow Lou Perez on X: @LouPerez The second to last segment, host Chuck Warren sits down with Dr. John Lee for a wide-ranging foreign policy conversation on China, Trump's strategy, critical minerals, Iran, and America's alliances. Dr. Lee is a senior fellow at Hudson Institute, a senior fellow nonresident at the United States Studies Centre, and an adjunct professor at the University of Sydney. Lee discusses his article in The Hill, "After the Trump-G Summit, China, Not America, is on the Back Foot," and argues that the Trump administration's reindustrialization and rearming agenda has strengthened America's strategic position rather than weakened it. He explains why Xi Jinping is now operating from a less favorable position, why America's allies may need pressure to take defense more seriously, and why critical minerals have become a major national security priority after years of warning signs from Beijing. Dr. Lee also breaks down the Iran situation, arguing that a successful outcome for the United States would mean setting back Iran's nuclear ambitions and reducing its conventional military threat. He explains why China is a more rational negotiating actor than Iran, how regime security shapes Tehran's decision-making, and why the U.S.-Australia alliance remains strategically strong despite political tensions over Trump. Guest: John Lee Article: "After the Trump-G Summit, China, Not America, is on the Back Foot" in The Hill In the final segment, B's Crime Corner returns with a disturbing true crime case out of Ohio, where two parents were convicted after their 11-year-old son, who had Hirschsprung's disease, died in a hotel room after being denied medical treatment. B breaks down the case, the 15-year prison sentences, the unanswered questions, and the psychology behind parents who harm their own children.

Will the Miami Heat be the Brides Maid and not the Brice? 6-4-2026
As we get ready to start Season 4 of Dying To Tell You (can you believe it?), we wanted to share with you the first episode of each preceding season. This week is Aimee, who kicked off Season 2. Aimee is the daughter of Linda, who was a guest of the show in Season 1. As Linda approached the end of her life, she chose M.A.I.D. (Medial Aid In Dying), which is legal in Colorado. With the approval of her healthcare team, Linda decided on the time and place of her death and prepared for it with her family. Aimee welcomed Linda into her home and was in the room as Linda took her MAID "cocktail" and laid down for her final moments. The story leading up to and throughout this experience is both more down-to-earth and hilarious than you might expect, as well as being truly touching and beautiful. Aimee and her family helped Linda through her final days, and sitting down at her kitchen table to hear about it all was truly a blessing for us. Much thanks and gratitude to Aimee and her family for being so welcoming and open.

McShane and Fitz kick off Razor Wire by recapping a chaotic week: riots at an ICE detention center in New Jersey (with Hasan Piker on scene), unrest in Paris, and renewed arguments about BLM's damage and media double standards. They dig into claims of foreign influence and funding—especially Roy Singham's ties to activist groups and Hasan Piker's comments about China and Cuba—then pivot to a UN Watch report alleging UN experts took millions from China, Russia, and Qatar while pushing anti-West narratives. The hosts discuss Treasury/IRS efforts to tighten nonprofit oversight and investigate funding for Antifa. After beer reviews and Jefe's casino antics, they cover Canada's MAID controversy, Peter Thiel reportedly going to Argentina, aliens.gov trolling users with an “illegal aliens” theme, and a whistleblower claim about CIA use of consumer DNA data—ending with worries about escalating paid agitation and protests.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/razor-wire-news--5683729/support.www.razorwirenews.com

In 2016, Canada legalized assisted dying for the terminally ill. Since then, the law—medical assistance in dying, or MAID—has expanded dramatically—to people with chronic but non-terminal conditions, with disabilities, and potentially those with mental illness as the sole underlying condition. Rupa Subramanya, The Free Press's Canada correspondent, has spent years reporting on this slippery slope, interviewing patients, doctors, and families along the way. She discusses with Coleman where the line should be, what some of the strangest assisted dying cases reveal about the system, and what Canada's experience should tell the rest of the world.

Canada's favorite export Drake is back! This month, the Toronto singer-rapper extraordinaire released three albums simultaneously: the long-anticipated return to form Iceman, the sultry, R&B Habibti and the pop-focused, clubby Maid of Honour. All three albums have much different vibes, and are Drake's first official solo efforts since his seismic beef with Kendrick Lamar back in 2024. There's a lot of music to talk about. As a result, Reanna argues that we are living in an era of “Drake Slop” – low-effort, mass-produced dumps of music, often with confused intentions. On this episode of Switched on Pop, Reanna, Charlie, and Nate explore all that these three albums have to offer, and try to figure out exactly what is going on in the twisted mind of Aubrey Graham.
