[originally published on Patreon Oct 1, 2022] Today's the first of four horror (or quasi-horror) films for CrackpotoberFest 2022 - Girl, Interrupted, both the memoir and the film. I discuss Susanna Kaysen and her father, a very interesting figure. I talk about McLean Hospital, Jim Watson, spies at McLean, and Kaysen's later career.  Then, I go over some interesting themes that Girl, Interrupted the film injects into the narrative - some potentially spurious, some maybe not. To wrap up, I discuss the history of MKULTRA projects at McLean and the general area. CrackpotoberFest only gets weirder from here.

A Note from James:I particularly want to reverse my aging. I'm not concerned about being able to run a mile or anything like that; I just want to reverse the aging of my brain. I feel there's a definite difference between my brain now and when I was younger. By the way, culturally, we acknowledge that the brain ages. Not only medically, but culturally, you have to adapt to being the wise older person rather than the sharp young person.We had a great conversation with Arthur Brooks about this. He wrote an excellent book, which I can't recommend enough, called "From Strength to Strength." That podcast with Arthur Brooks changed my life in how I view my brain aging. Additionally, several podcasts with David Sinclair about the aging process have also been life-changing.I have used the supplements he recommended and made the lifestyle changes he suggested back in 2019. David has conducted a lot of research in the five years since his book "Lifespan" was released, and I wanted to see what the current state of his research was. So, he came on the podcast.I'm very grateful; he doesn't do many podcasts. He shared some incredible discoveries and new information, giving me real insight. We discussed everything related to what he's doing in anti-aging and what he's discovered since the last time I had him on. At the special request of our listeners, I also asked him about testosterone.Towards the end of the podcast, I asked him about that, and his answer was very interesting. Here's David.Episode Description:Today, James discusses personal motivations for wanting to reverse aging, specifically targeting brain aging. The conversation moves into the broader cultural and scientific understandings of aging, touching on insights from Arthur Brooks and David Sinclair's research. Sinclair's work on anti-aging, including lifestyle changes and supplement use recommended by him, is highlighted, mentioning his book 'Lifespan' and the progress in his research over the past five years. Key discussions include the information theory of aging, the role of DNA and epigenetics in aging, and the concept of age reversal through maintaining or restoring the epigenome's integrity. The episode covers the potential of using Yamanaka factors for age reversal, the challenges in translating these findings from mice to humans, and regulatory considerations for human trials. Sinclair also touches on his ongoing work in developing chemical cocktails for age reversal, comparing lifestyle changes to these scientific advances.  Episode Summary:00:00 The Quest for Age Reversal: Personal Motivations and Influential Conversations01:11 Diving Deep into David Sinclair's Research on Anti-Aging02:24 Exploring the Information Theory of Aging and DNA's Role04:30 The Potential of Epigenetics in Reversing Aging07:14 The Challenges and Ethics of Age Reversal Technologies09:01 The Future of Anti-Aging: From Gene Therapy to Accessible Pills10:53 Debunking Myths and Addressing Controversies in Anti-Aging Supplements15:13 The Cutting-Edge of Aging Research: Yamanaka Factors and Epigenetic Reset25:05 The Philosophical and Practical Implications of Rejuvenation Research27:57 Unveiling New Breakthroughs in Cellular Biology28:19 Decoding the Mystery of Emanarcha Factors29:18 Exploring the Potential of Yamanaka Factors in Age Reversal29:43 The Future of Age Reversal: From Theory to Practice30:52 Innovative Approaches to Rejuvenation and Safety Measures31:52 Understanding the Complexity of Aging Across Different Organs34:57 The Fascinating World of Epigenetic Aging and Brain Plasticity37:20 Pushing the Boundaries: Chemical Cocktails for Rejuvenation39:46 Comparing Lifestyle Factors and Chemical Interventions in Aging40:56 Exploring the Possibilities of Reversing Menopause in Mice45:09 Navigating the Path to Human Trials and Regulatory Approval49:18 The Potential and Ethics of Off-Label Uses for Gene Therapy53:53 Personal Insights and Experiments in Anti-Aging ------------What do YOU think of the show?

We have great memories of attending folk festivals over the years. One of the fondest is the time we heard the original Red Clay Ramblers back in 1977. That was just a few years after that great old band formed, and it drove up to play a festival in Grayson County, Ky.We in the fledgling Flood had bought The Ramblers' new album, and we were simply blown away by its second track. How astounding it was to discover that one of the best new songs about West Virginia was recorded by a North Carolina band. What??! Only when we dug a little deeper did we find out why that song was so good. "Twisted Laurel" — the title track of The Ramblers' 1976 disc — was written by none other than Tommy Thompson, who was born and raised just a few miles away from us in St. Albans, WV. Today we still remember that summer night in Grayson, sitting on the ground in the front of the stage and hanging on every single note Tommy sang. Ever since then, "Twisted Laurel" has been deep in The Flood's own musical DNA.Celebrating TommyNative son Tommy Thompson is lovingly remembered in The Mountain State. In fact, he was posthumously inducted into the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame in October 2011. As the announcement at the time noted, “After a stint as a Coast Guard officer in New Orleans where he heard many of the great old-time jazz players and was introduced to Cajun music, Thompson entered the graduate program in philosophy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1963. He divided his time between five-string banjo and academia.”By 1966, Tommy was deep into old-time tunes with the Hollow Rock String Band. When that group dissolved five years later, Thompson continued performing locally and at folk festivals, including the prestigious gathering at Union Grove, NC, where in 1971 he took first prize in the World Champion Old-Time Banjo contest.That same year, back in Chapel Hill, Tommy joined fiddler Bill Hicks and multi-instrumentalist Jim Watson to form The Red Clay Ramblers, which he would anchor for the next 22 years. In those decades, the band did a lot more than play at little festivals like our Grayson, Ky., gathering. The group toured North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, doing four separate U.S. State Department tours. In 1974, The Ramblers began its long involvement with American musical theater, writing and performing in a number of off-Broadway plays. The group's music also was featured on Garrison Keillor's “A Prairie Home Companion,” in Sam Shepard's work, and on TV shows such as Northern Exposure and Ryan's Hope.Originally, The Ramblers stuck with the tunes they learned from 78s by pioneers like The Skillet Lickers and Charlie Poole. However, they quickly tired of this and developed a style that Thompson once called "new-timey music; a bridge that connects the past and present."Their approach was simple. "We like to make a big noise,” as Thompson put it. “We're entertainers, not preachers or poets. We get people hopping, laughing and feeling good."The year 1985 found the band in New York, performing incidental music for Sam Shepard's A Lie of the Mind. They later collaborated with the playwright on two of his films, Far North (1989) and Silent Tongue (1993).But by the time the latter was released, it was clear that Tommy was experiencing serious health problems. Diagnosed with the early stages of dementia, he was forced to retire from performing in 1994. Twenty years ago this year, at age 66, he passed away.Our Take on the TuneWell, this has been Bowen's Banjo Summer. At the beginning of June, on an impulse, Charlie got a five-string from Paul Callicoat at Route 60 Music and started studying the videos and audios of Dr. Josh Turknett of Brainjo Academy.He's still learning — probably always will be (an old song says, “I can be the doctor ‘til the doctor comes” and that also applies to banjo pickers) — but after three months he was ready this week to try this bit of banjocity with The Flood at its weekly rehearsal.

This week's programme is a thought experiment: What would the world be like if energy became superabundant and very cheap? Energy is vital for every aspect of our society, and the energy cost of extraction, processing, manufacture and transport is priced into every product we buy. Today's energy crisis is having a huge impact, from affecting diplomatic relations between nations to the availability of food. How can our energy systems evolve and what could cheap abundant energy mean for us, our relationship to the natural world, and each other? We discuss these issues and more with; Rachel Kyte CMG, Dean of The Fletcher School at Tufts University, who has previously worked for the UN on sustainability issues. Jim Watson, Professor of Energy Policy at UCL. He's advised government on the low carbon energy transition. And Dr Hannah Richie, Head of Research at Our World in Data, based at Oxford University, who looks at food, agriculture and energy in relation to global development trends.

Today's the first of four horror (or quasi-horror) films for CrackpotoberFest 2022 - Girl, Interrupted, both the memoir and the film. I discuss Susanna Kaysen and her father, a very interesting figure. I talk about McLean Hospital, Jim Watson, spies at McLean, and Kaysen's later career. Then, I go over some interesting themes that Girl, Interrupted the film injects into the narrative - some potentially spurious, some maybe not. To wrap up, I discuss the history of MKULTRA projects at McLean and the general area. CrackpotoberFest only gets weirder from here. Note: I make two mistakes in this episode. I think I conflate bipolar disorder and BPD which is not the fault of the film or memoir, and I also say that one of the characters kills herself to Downtown when it's a different song. My bad.

It's a laundry list of names vying for the votes of Ottawa residents for the top job in municipal politics in the Capital. Fourteen in all are looking for your vote to put them in the Mayor's chair for the next four years. Jim Watson had announced late last year that he would not seek re-election. There will also be a number of new faces around the Council table as many have decided not to run again. Coming up on the show we will take a look at the candidates running to lead the City of Ottawa over the next four years. Of the fourteen candidates, some names are familiar. Catherine McKenney, the former councillor for Somerset threw her hat in the ring early. So did former Regional Chair, Mayor and MPP, Bob Chiarelli. Long-time broadcaster and entrepreneur, Mark Sutcliffe has waded into the election waters for the first time and Mike Maguire, who finished second to Jim Watson in 2014 has jumped back in again. Nour Kadri is doing surprisingly well for a first-time candidate if Mainstreeet's last poll is any indication of how he is doing. Coming up on the Unpublished Cafe, we'll chat with the editor and publisher of the Orleans Star, Fred Sherwin, a long-time watcher of City Hall. As well, Brigitte Pellerin, columnist with the Ottawa Citizen will share her views on the hotly contested race.

Have you ever heard of a woman named Rosalind Franklin?...probably not, but you can draw a line from today's covid vaccines all the way back to her in the 1950s...she conducted some serious research into the makeup of rna molecules... Rosalind also did some groundbreaking research into the structure of DNA molecules...without her, Jim Watson and Francis Crick may not have discovered how DNA was constructed...they'd go on to win the Nobel prize in 1962...was Rosalind ever given the credit she deserved?...no... What about grace hopper?...ring any bells?...back in the 1940s, lieutenant Grace Hopper invented some computer programming techniques used by the army during World War II…this was the basis of Cobol, the compute language still used by business, finance, and administrative software today... Let's try Susan Kare...no?...she's the one who came up with the trash can icon and the command key on mac computers...she was integral to making the mac operating system as user-friendly as possible... Okay, here's a name you may know: Hedy Lamar...famous actress from old Hollywood in the 30s and 40s and one-time date of Howard Hughes, right?...but she also worked with a guy named George Antheil to come up with a radio “frequency hopping” technology that made today's Wi-Fi, cellular phones, Bluetooth, and gps communications possible...in fact, some call Hedy Lamar “the mother of Wi-Fi”...but does she get the appropriate credit for that?...nope... Those are just a few unsung heroines of technology...their work changed the world...and there are so many more in other fields, too...back in the late 1800s, Nellie Bly became the first investigative female journalist...effa Manley was the first woman to own a sports team...that was back in the 1930s...Beulah Henry was nicknamed “Lady Edison” because she was such a prolific inventor... And while we all know about Joan of Arc, what about Matilda of Tuscany?...she had a 40-year military career who successfully led troops against the Holy Roman Emperor again and again almost a thousand years ago...these are just a few unsung heroines from history... There are similar stories from the world of music: women who changed so much but have been given so little credit...let's see if we can't do a little bit to fix that...

Our S12E8 interview with actor Jim Watson from the hit TV series Transplant!

SHOW NOTES (Bonus Pre-Season Episode) Evidence indicates the Stegosaurus did not swish its spiked tail back and forth like a Medieval weapon, but rather used it for locomotion and communication, and when need be for defense. Morrison Natural History Museum Director Matthew Mossbrucker provides the non-gory details in his interview with Michelle Howell. Dinosaur Ridge volunteer Jim Watson surmises how the Stego may have sounded — his interpretation is unlike any Hollywood version you've heard. Finally Dr. Nicole Peavy of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) talks about the work of Mitigation Paleontology, and what happens with fossils found on road construction sites. The Stegosaurus used its tail like a third leg! It helped move the animal, and also could be used to communicate with other Stegosaurus, and defend the animal from predators. Matthew Mossbrucker discusses the anatomy of the tail, including the lump of bone called the fourth trochanter, that served as a muscle attachment knob for the caudofemoralis, a muscle found in nearly all animals with tails. In 2009, Mossbrucker and Dr. Robert Bakker studied the tail and published “The Symposium on Stegosauria” In our conversation, Mossbrucker mentions Quarry 13 in Como Bluff, Wyoming which is referenced in this thorough wikipedia post if you would like more context. Dr. Nicole Peavey mentioned paleobotany finds at Denver International Airport, more can be seen on the Denver Museum of Nature and Science website here. Peavy also referenced the Castle Rock Rainforest uncovered during a highway project. At the time the Dr. Kirk Johnson (Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History Director) was with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, which now holds 10,000 specimens from this site. He wrote an article about the finds that was published in 2003. Peavy also referenced Ian Miller, now National Geographic Society's Chief Science and Innovation Officer, who also worked at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Miller has led science research projects on major field expeditions across the western U.S. and Madagascar. If you've never heard how the term “Thagomizer” came about, you must first treat yourself to a popular newspaper comic strip from the 1980s called “The Far Side.” Author Gary Larson in a 1982 comic drew a group of cavemen attending a lecture in which the speaker points to the tail tip of a Stegosaurus. The caption explains the spikes are called Thagomizers "after the late Thag Simmons.” Denver Museum of Nature and Science paleontologist Kenneth Carpenter jokingly used the term at the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology Annual Meeting more than a decade later, and it caught on. Fossil Butte National Monument in Wyoming is the scene of world-renowned fossil finds including 27 types of fish. And as you will learn, in some cases the data is more important than the fossils themselves.   Our theme music was composed by Hansdale Hsu.

Study: Coconut oil-enriched Mediterranean diet found to improve brain function in Alzheimer's patients University of Valencia (Spain), February 6, 2022 Spanish researchers believe that a Mediterranean diet enriched with coconut oil can help improve cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Researchers from the University of Valencia and the Catholic University of Valencia looked to diet as a means of addressing AD. Specifically, they looked at whether a coconut oil-enriched Mediterranean diet would be beneficial for AD patients. The researchers chose coconut oil due to the fact that the medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) in it can be converted into ketones, which brain cells then use as fuel. Previous research had already identified ketone bodies as a possible therapeutic for AD. Following the study, the researchers found that those in the experimental group displayed improvements in temporal orientation as well as their episodic and semantic memory. (NEXT) Calorie restriction rewires metabolism, immunity for longer health span Pennington Biomedical Research Center, February 11, 2022  Calorie restriction improves metabolic and immune responses that help determine both how long a person lives and how many years of good health they enjoy, a new study shows. Two years of modest calorie restriction reprogrammed the pathways in fat cells that help regulate the way mitochondria generate energy, the body's anti-inflammatory responses, and potentially longevity,. In other words, calorie restriction rewires many of the metabolic and immune responses that boost lifespan and health span. The study found that people who cut their calorie intake by about 14 percent over two years generated more T cells, which play a key role in immune function and slow the aging process. (NEXT) Evidence points to fish oil to fight asthma University of Rochester, February 9, 2022 University of Rochester Medical Center scientists have discovered new essential information about omega 3 fatty acids contained in fish oil and how they could be used for asthma patients. In a paper published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation–Insight, researchers using cell cultures from local asthma patients, found that: Omega-3 fatty acid products can reduce the production of IgE, the antibodies that cause allergic reactions and asthma symptoms in people with milder cases of asthma; But in patients with severe asthma who use high doses of oral steroids, the omega-3 fatty acids are less effective because the corticosteroids block the beneficial effects. (NEXT) Study: Mindful adults age with better mental health University of Maine, February 11, 2022 Aging happens to all of us. If you are a mindful person, though, you may be better equipped to handle the effects of growing older. According to a University of Maine study led by associate professor of psychology Rebecca MacAulay, published in the journal Aging & Mental Health, aging adults with high levels of “trait mindfulness,” or a person's innate ability to pay attention to the present moment without judgment, showed measures of greater well-being and mental health. Mindful adults also demonstrated more mental resilience to stressful situations. (NEXT) Plant extract fights brain tumor Max Planck Institute (Germany), February 11, 2022 Cushing Disease, not to be confused with Cushing's Syndrome, is caused by a tumour in the pituitary gland in the brain. The tumour secrets increased amounts of the stress hormone adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) followed by cortisol release from the adrenal glands leading to rapid weight gain, elevated blood pressure and muscular weakness. Patients are prone to osteoporosis, infections and may show cognitive dysfunction or even depression. In 80 to 85 % of the patients the tumour can be removed by uncomfortable brain surgery. For inoperable cases, there is currently only one targeted therapy approved which unfortunately causes intense side effects such as hyperglycemia in more than 20 % of the patients. (NEXT) Daily dose of beetroot juice improved endurance and blood pressure Wake Forest Medical Center,  February 11, 2022  Scientists at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center have found that a daily dose of beetroot juice significantly improved exercise endurance and blood pressure in elderly patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF). The study is published in the current online edition of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology-Heart Failure. Exercise intolerance – shortness of breath and fatigue with normal amounts of exertion — is the primary symptom of HFPEF and is due partly to non-cardiac factors that reduce oxygen delivery to active skeletal muscles. HFPEF is a recently recognized disease that reflects how the left ventricle of the heart pumps with each beat. It occurs primarily in older women and is the dominant form of heart failure, as well as the most rapidly increasing cardiovascular disorder in this country.

Both reports conducted by the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB), a watchdog created after 9/11 to ensure counter-terror investigations did not jeopardize privacy or civil liberties, looked into two programs conducted under Executive Order 12333 authority. The Reagan-era presidential directive established a framework for data collection by the intelligence community during foreign missions. When Edward Snowden almost a decade ago revealed the extent of warrantless bulk data collection by the government, Congress responded by banning collection under a separate statute focused on domestic activities, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). (NEXT) How the Left betrayed the Truckers MALCOM KYEYUNE. — UNHERD, FEBRUARY 9 2022 They call it “The Honkening”. Ottawa, Canada's capital city, is currently being besieged by a novel kind of protest. Honkening is a fairly appropriate name for what's going on. Thousands of truckers have driven to the capital, and barraged the city with the noise of truck horns creating a cacophony of sound. Elsewhere, on the border between the United States and Canada, truckers, farmers and cowboys have blockaded traffic. As the protests enter another week, Ottawa's mayor has declared a state of emergency. Jim Watson described the truckers — ostensibly protesting against Canada's harsh Covid mandates — as “out of control”. Watson sees anarchy; the truckers fulminate against Covid authoritarianism. But this battle is really about working-class discontent. The naive among us could be forgiven for thinking that this protest signalled something auspicious about “late capitalist” society. For decades, the common folk wisdom for both the Left and the Right was that the West's working classes had been completely neutralised as a political force, and that class conflict itself was a relic of the past. This idea took hold in the Sixties, when Herbert Marcuse theorised that Western workers had been subjected to a “socially engineered arrest of consciousness”. Their vested interest in the existing capitalist order made them impossible to radicalise. Ever since, finding new theoretical models to explain the unreliability (and stodgy conservatism) of workers has been a recurring activity on parts of the Left. Marxists had made a horrific discovery: the working class were not their foot soldiers. As Joan Didion once put it: “The have-nots, it turned out, mainly aspired to having.” Many on the Left came to believe that without their corporatist union structures, and without their shop stewards and political organisers, the working classes were done for. They were little better, to paraphrase Marx, than a “sack of potatoes”. Without proper leadership, the workers would be too inert and stupid to do anything about their plight. As such, the decades after the fall of the Soviet Union (and the defeat of the strike waves of the Eighties) saw many Leftists indulge a wistful nostalgia for a time when the workers stuck it to the powers that be. Celebration of the good old days of the Left, and of “working-class power” in general, was thus central to the aesthetics of the now completely defunct wave of Left populism in the 2010s. With that backdrop in mind, the explosion of worker militancy over vaccine mandates — and, on a related note, high fuel taxes in Europe — ought to have been greeted by enthusiasm by the Leftist activist and organiser set. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. The truckers in Canada have instead triggered a primordial sense of dread in the hearts of the urban classes, in the people who Canadian trucker Gord Magill has dubbed “the email job caste”. This sense of fear and dread at the machinations of the proles is hardly something unique to Canada. Indeed, even the United States saw a large increase of worker militancy and wildcat strikes over oppressive vaccine mandates. Like their compatriots in Canada, America's various professional friends of the working class responded with horror and scorn. The well-known Marxist economist, Richard Wolff, was mobbedon Twitter for suggesting that workers striking over mandates were actually part of something called “class struggle”, rather than merely an expression of “fascism”. Ottawa's truckers are a symptom of the massive class divide that is opening up across the West. Marxists are sticking their heads in the sand about this generational moment, or papering it over with absurd topsy-turvy leaps. In one recent display of moon logic, the Canadian activist, writer and self-described socialist Nora Loreto complained that “labour” was invisible in the resistance to the “fascist” truckers that had occupied Ottawa. An exasperated comrade chimed in with a story of being a shop steward for a teamster (truck driver) union, and — horror of horrors — the painful truth was that many teamsters were more likely to be in the protest themselves than protesting against it. The exchange is modern Western Leftism in a nutshell. Is there a single better illustration of the contradictions of the moment? An “activist” and organiser” recoiling in horror at a bunch of truckers — people who work in the real, material economy, ferrying the foodstuffs and goods we all depend on to survive — staging a political protest, only to then ask “but where is the organised working class in all of this?”. Isn't it obvious to the point of parody that the workers are the people inside the trucks? It's easy to laugh at this sort of absurdity, but the lesson here is anything but a joke. The divorce between “the Left” and “the workers” is now complete and irrevocable. Nora Loreto may not be a person with calloused hands, and she may very well belong to Gord Magill's “email jobs caste”. But for the longest time, the political rhetoric and worldview of the Left depended on the idea that the trucker and the activist were merely two sides of the same coin. Without the activist and the “organiser”, the trucker would never be able to know how to organise himself and his fellows politically; without the trucker, the activist and the organiser would not have a cause for which to organise. Now it seems that the trucker — and by extension, the pilot, the garbage collector, and the bus driver — does not need or want this caste of self-appointed leaders. This divorce has happened all over the world in recent years. After the massive rejection by Red Wall voters of Jeremy Corbyn and his activist base in the smart, urban, and highly credentialed parts of Britain, one started to see a rhetoric of open loathing for the dumb, uneducated gammons and proles. In Germany, the Left party Die Linke has endured several rounds of severe internal fighting and strife. As in the UK, the younger, more urban, more credentialed parts of the Left have fought a running battle — and thrown pies — against pro-worker “racists” such as Sahra Wagenknecht. In Canada, that loathing has now turned into fear — and into outright hatred. The problem of the truckers is not really the honking (which the Guardian sniffily calls “crude behaviour“), because sooner or later, that honking will stop. The state of emergency will end. But the protests, significantly, have shown how confused and weak the opponents of the working classes are today. During the pandemic lockdowns, the email jobs caste loved to talk about essential workers, and luxuriated in public displays of gratitude for them. But this caste of genteel urbanites never realised that this choice of nomenclature was in fact much more meaningful — and ominous – than they understood. Some people, it seems, simply are critical to the functioning of the economy, pandemic or no pandemic. Once those people — and truck drivers are perhaps the most critical of them all — start to demand to be listened to, they have ways to make those demands felt. For the Left, the problem of the truckers is their newfound political independence. Nostalgia really is a thing of the past now; the dinosaurs that were thought long extinct are back now, and they are hungry. Gone are the halcyon days of dreaming about halcyon days – where serious working class militancy was just a distant myth. The real danger of any trucker's strike, or any pilot's walkout, or any fuel tax protest in Europe, is that every new confrontation sets a precedent: a precedent that says that the Gord Magills are done taking orders from the Nora Letos of the world.

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and Police Deputy Chief Steve Bell take questions from the media and appear to be stumped as to how to respond to the Freedom Trucker Convoy. Today, we review the latest, including:​

For nearly two weeks, a core group of protesters has refused to leave Ottawa's downtown core. Police estimate more than 400 trucks remain parked in the so-called “red zone.” Some businesses in the area have had to close their doors and some residents describe feeling intimidated. Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly has called the situation “unprecedented.” The mayor, Jim Watson, has called the situation “out of control,” and said the protesters are “calling the shots.” Today on Front Burner, CBC Ottawa reporter Judy Trinh talks about how police initially responded to the protest in the capital, how the response has changed and where things could go from here.

En Canadá, las autoridades siguen luchando para controlar la protesta de camioneros contra las restricciones impuestas en el marco de la pandemia. Un movimiento que paraliza la capital desde hace varios días y amenaza con convertirse en una verdadera crisis política para el primer ministro Justin Trudeau, aunque está perdiendo el apoyo de la ciudadanía. El alcalde de Ottawa, Jim Watson, declaró este domingo el estado de emergencia en la ciudad. El primer ministro de Canadá, Justin Trudeau, a pesar de pedir el cese del movimiento, desestimó la semana pasada sacar a los militares para acabar con el problema. Y mientras, miles de ciudadanos empiezan a estar muy cansados de los ruidos y malestar que generan unos camioneros que aguantan a toda costa tras convertirse en la resistencia de la vacunación obligatoria del país. Menos apoyo, pero más fuerza “La situación se ha puesto más complicada porque, inicialmente, la idea de ellos era llegar y bloquear la ciudad y así lo hicieron. Pero como siempre en este tipo de movimiento se da algún punto en que la sociedad ya deja de apoyarlos porque el gran problema que tienen ahora es que han formado sitios de acampar en donde cocinan, hacen sus necesidades, se buscan comida... Hay gente que les lleva cosas, pero tienen el gran problema del ruido, tanto de los camiones como de las sirenas, y aparte de esto, con los motores encendidos, el aire de la ciudad que queda contaminado”, explica Fernando García, administrador del grupo Camioneros Latinos en Canadá. Según él, hay ahora dos posiciones, “la posición del gobierno de sacar el movimiento del centro de Ottawa, y la posición de quienes vuelven a apoyar el movimiento, pero en ese momento ya no tienen tanto el apoyo de la ciudadanía”. “Han perdido un poco de fuerza ante la ciudadanía, pero como movimiento como tal, sí se ha visto fortalecido”, estima. Otras ciudades A pesar de que el epicentro de las protestas de los camioneros se ubica en Ottawa, durante el pasado fin de semana se sintió un fuerte apoyo gremial en otras ciudades del país como Toronto, Quebec, Winnipeg, Regina y Victoria, donde se generaron protestas considerables. “Camioneros que no han podido unirse al movimiento en Ottawa han realizado sus propios movimientos en las principales ciudades de Canadá. En Quebec, se llevó a cabo el movimiento este fin de semana, pero se retiraron voluntariamente con la intención de venir en dos semanas cuando se acaban las festividades del carnaval de invierno. Y más adelante, si las medidas se mantienen, ellos están dispuestos a volver a unirse a la manifestación”, precisa García. El movimiento, denominado "Convoy de la libertad", que comenzó el 29 de enero, apuntaba inicialmente contra la decisión de obligar a los camioneros a estar vacunados contra la Covid-19 para cruzar la frontera con Estados Unidos. La protesta ha derivado en una movilización contra todas las medidas sanitarias y contra el mismo gobierno del primer ministro Justin Trudeau.

With trucks and protesters occupying streets around Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada, Ottawa's mayor Jim Watson has declared a state of emergency. The “Freedom Convoy” — a collection of semis and other large trucks — began as a rallying point for Canadians opposed to vaccine mandates. But it has snowballed into an increasingly organized fight against Covid-19 public health measures and Trudeau himself. Andy Blatchford reports.

Chris Scott is the owner of The Whistle Stop Cafe in Alberta. Like many in this freedom fight, he became increasingly frustrated with the crushing mandates of the Canadian Government. This pushed him into defiance, speaking out against mandates, and making the trek to Ottawa as a proud member of the Canadian Freedom Convoy. Inside we cover his transition from a business owner to a freedom fighter. The trip to Ottawa, his stay in Ottawa, and some of the heartwarming stories since he's been here. We also discuss the police/protester relationship, the most recent state of emergency called by Jim Watson, and the increased amount of police presence at the peaceful protest.

The current housing market is one for the books: With the median price of a single-family home in the U.S. sitting at $335,000, we're seeing record highs. Even then, homes are getting snapped up like hotcakes, as houses stay on the market for an average of only 18 days — another record.On the outside looking in, that may seem like a good thing — but it's not that simple.  “We've never had a market this hot on the selling side, which is putting huge pressures on the commodities,” according to Jim Watson, Vice President and co-owner of New Atlantic Builders, a semi-custom homebuilder based in Florida. “Lumber's gone through the roof, and copper's gone through the roof, and labor's increased.” Listen to the interview to find out how Jim's team is thriving under the circumstances, despite not being one of "the big boys."Fohlio is a product specification, procurement, and data management software for the AEC industry.

When he was nine years old, Hamza Haq's parents immigrated from Saudi Arabia to Ottawa. The young lad quickly acclimatized to Canadian culture. He turned on the TV and started rooting for WWE heroes such as The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and many others. “We're going to be here for the rest of the day,” he tells me in a fun and rollicking podcast, “if you get me started on this.”Before that, TV was also a big deal growing up in the Middle East. For four years, he, says, he watched a lot of America's Funniest Home Videos and Full House.He was star struck, therefore, when, at 14, he ran into Bob Sagat at the airport. He has proof: his sister whipped out her flip phone and snapped a photo.Acting fascinated him at an early age. Now fans are taking selfies with him. He's back Monday nights on CTV as emergency room saviour Dr. “Bash” Bashir in the second season of the hit medical drama Transplant.The Canadian Screen Award winner sets up the new episodes, which begin January 3. He also talks about the challenges of shooting a medical drama through a pandemic.

 Josh Wolfe of Lux Capital is a leading mind in the current wave of venture capitalists making waves. While aware of each other for some time, in this episode Josh sits down with Eric for their first meeting. Together the two explore various topics from comparing notes on their encounters with Jim Watson of DNA fame, to talking about what society gets wrong and how to see that as a source of opportunity.  It is frequently asked what makes a great venture capitalist. This conversation reveals that it is likely not one thing but a combination of rigor, breath, flexibility of mind, openness, self-skepticism and mental courage to take on the unknown. That is because the myriad concerns that arise in any early stage attempt to grab the future by the tail from only the information available to us in the present will easily overwhelm those with narrow specializations. As the conversation takes many twists and turns, Josh's flexibility is put to the test as he freely doles out numerous wise observations from his wealth of experience.

In his 20 years as owner of Stillwater Building Center, Jim Watson has developed a unique philosophy. He says that looking back, most of the positive changes he's made to the business were actually the result of poor decisions or tough times. He explains how he factors that “no regrets” thinking into future plans for the business, and how it's guided decision-making over the years, especially during tough times. He also talks about how the company survived a four-month stretch with almost no customers early on, the challenges of expanding a business in a recession, and more. Building material supply businesses have a high rate of failure, and Jim explains how they've been able to not just survive... but thrive. Tune in to find out… Ways to “take advantage” of an economic downturn (you're not expecting this) The lessons he learned decades ago as a house flipper that he still uses today When ignoring the best advice of others… is the right thing to do How he's preparing now for his exit from the company – even though it's years away And more

Chapter 1

In Quebec, more than 3,000 homes are already underwater and another 2,300 are surrounded by it. More than 1,100 people are out of their homes. Officials are also keeping a close eye on a hydroelectric dam, on a tributary of the Ottawa River west of Montreal, that's at risk of failing. In Ontario, Premier Doug Ford says he believes climate change is among the reasons eastern Ontario homeowners are trying to save their homes from flooding for the second time in three years. Ford was in the rural west end of Ottawa this morning, touring flooded areas along the Ottawa River, where officials are warning a new rain storm will make water levels rise rapidly over the next few days, likely exceeding the levels seen during a 2017 flood. In Ottawa, Mayor Jim Watson declared a state of emergency because of flooding with another 20 mm to 50 mm of rain forecast to fall by the end of tomorrow. A forecast by the interprovincial committee that regulates water levels in the Ottawa River says all that rain could increase its level near Parliament Hill by nearly a metre within a few days -- paths behind Parliament are already underwater. Residents in several small communities on the eastern and western edges of Ottawa are sandbagging to keep their homes dry. About 400 soldiers have been deployed to the Ottawa area to help sandbag and assist with other flood operations. At a press conference this morning, the Minister for Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, Ralph Goodale, said the impacts of climate change are "dangerous and damaging" - and the flooding throughout eastern regions of Canada is the most obvious manifestation of a changing climate. He says this is a national public safety problem.

What I found interesting when Mayor Jim Watson came by the Extension Marketing studios for our podcast was that he joked that he was nervous. I had no political questions on the agenda, no platforms to cover, no election promises to check off and no request for an update on the LRT. I figured this was an easy home run for my former colleague. I loved him even more for saying that he was nervous, though, because he knew the focus was on wellness, balanced lifestyle, health and fitness and he didn't want to fail miserably. Granted, he isn't lacing up the sneakers to go for a daily run, adding protein to his balanced diet (I'm being sarcastic there) or managing 8 hours of sleep a night (he has sleep apnea). In fact, he gets an ‘F' on all aspects. But while he hasn't always given himself the best chance for his own health, he has made an impact for other peoples lives. We chat about a Smoke Free Ontario, athlete funding, access to recreation and the list goes on.
