Menopause is something all women will experience at some point in their life, yet at least half of us are completely unprepared when it arrives. The lack of knowledge about menopause leaves millions of women struggling to understand what is happening to their bodies, why they may be feeling the way they do, and whether treatment and support is available.

Author Ainslie Hogarth and I break that down plus we talk about her latest book, Motherthing, a darkly funny domestic horror novel about a woman who must take drastic measures to save her husband and herself from the vengeful ghost of her mother-in-law. Yes, it's fiction.

this links to linking to silos   00:25:39- The analyst role: where we are, where we are going, where we want to be   Bio: I began my career at York Regional Police in 2008 as a District Crime Analyst serving the regions of Newmarket and Markham and eventually serving as a Crime Analyst for the region of Vaughan and King for four years.  Some of my responsibilities included analyzing data and applying research methods to identify crime patterns and series, modus operandi profiles, victim/target profiles and identifying high crime/call areas or locations where public disorder are likely to occur.  Moreover, the District Crime Analyst forecasts, projects and analyzes crime by conducting correlation and regression analysis and using various investigative analysis software, database programs, statistical calculations and other computer software to determine if crimes are linked.  We are also responsible for identifying and monitoring known criminals/organizations and any potential police hazards within the community.  After years of service in the Districts and embedded with the York communities, I was assigned to the Intelligence Unit where I worked as a strategic analyst while assigned to a variety of organized crime portfolios.  I believe that I am considered a subject matter expert as it relates to Eastern European Organized Crime (EEOC), Organized Distraction Thefts and Fraud Investigations and have several Intelligence Reports that warrant my awareness of these crime types and organizational groups.  I supported 5 different criminal portfolios on a tactical and strategic level inclusive of Fraud, Hold Up, Drugs & Vice and Eastern European Organized Crime (Georgian Organized Crime) understanding principles of organized crime and gang intelligence in Canada.  My functions included developing meticulous linkage analysis charts while producing detailed and referenced strategic intelligence reports.  I also analyzed electronic records meticulously producing reports for investigative practice and disclosure and testified at several trials including delivery testimony in an attempted murder investigation in relation to the movement of the accused parties telephone records and tower locations.  I am also considered well versed in the area of social media analysis with advanced capabilities at discovering identities online while utilizing open source searches and software to manage organizational risk.  In 2009 I was awarded the Crime Analyst of the year award after being nominated by senior officials for his analytical support in several criminal investigations and for exceeding the organizations values with respect to teamwork and accountability.   As a result of my extensive experiences and background, I was asked by senior officials to be seconded to the newly formed Real Time Operations Centre (RTOC) at York Regional Police as a Criminal Intelligence Analyst to assist in creating / developing the crime analyst position.   After a successful eight months of testing, the position was made permanent and I was assigned to create the job posting and assist in the staffing and training of a secondary analyst.   The Real Time Operations Centre analyst is highly tactical, responding to officers live with a variety of requests while triaging the calls for service to seek organization and officer risk in real time.  The position has a strategic component that requires the analyst to ingest criminal information and produce strategic intelligence reports addressing areas of risk including gang intelligence, organized crime, money laundering, terrorism, cyber intelligence, drugs and weapons.    Prior to my service with York Regional Police, I was employed as a Fraud Investigator with several financial institutions while pursuing my honourary bachelor's degree in Criminology from the University of Toronto where I graduated with honours.   Experiences in the financial institutions included investigating skimming files, internal fraud investigations, money laundering investigations and cybercrime.  In addition to these investigative duties, I provided internal training to members of the financial institutions on detecting fraud and created an online forum for recognizing fraud patterns with the intention of providing support for employees to stop fraud at the front end.   I was both nominated and awarded several internal awards at the Royal Bank of Canada and Meridian Credit Union for innovative strategies in combatting crime while championing training and education surrounding fraud mechanisms.  In late 2015 I was invited to assist officials at Seneca College in developing a Bachelor of Criminal Intelligence and Analysis program by reviewing the program map and making recommendations for new courses that would promulgate the course to new levels and provide students with an innovative program designed to reflect current analytical strategies.  Some of the new courses created included Organized Crime in Canada, Gang Intelligence and Social Media Networking and Analysis.  In January 2016 I was then invited to teach Diversity and First Nations to students of the Police Foundations course at Seneca College overseeing approximately 90 students and providing a forum in understanding issues in Diversity (race, gender, sexual orientation) as it is applied in policing as well as exploring First Nation experiences in Canada. I was also the Creator and Co-chair of an Internal Support Network (ISN) at York Regional Police called YRP Pride.   The ISN provides a forum of support for members of the organization an avenue to garner support, feel inclusive, as well as developing external and internal partnerships to champion training and education surrounding issues in LGBTQ policing and Transgendered issues.  In 2016 I founded the organizations first public event hosting members of the community who are transgendered to speak to YRP officers about their experiences and beginning to form open discussions about Transgendered issues.   The ISN is the largest at YRP with over 35 members who oversee attending public events (Pride).  In 2016 the ISN was awarded with an award for “Outstanding Community Service” by PFLAG for maintaining excellent external partnerships with perpetuating positive community member relations. In May of 2020 I was invited by the Ontario Chief Coroner's Office (OCCO) to serve as a crime analyst for Broken Trust - a reinvestigaton of nine sudden deaths in Thunder Bay.  The release for that extraordinary report will be released in 2021 and will serve to invigorate discussions in the policing community.

She joins me to share how mastering empathy can get you further ahead at work and in life. This is the time of year that Anne Brodie works around the clock with TIFF in full swing. This week she joins me to share the best of the capsule reviews she's seen so far including Night Raiders, a disturbing story in its own right paralleling the traumas of the residential school system for generations of First Nations. Plus some new movies and shows you won't want to miss in theatres and at home. The negative thoughts we have about our body are not our fault. They are learned from the culture we live in where we've been conditioned to believe that our worth is in our appearance, SPOILER (it's not!). Summer Innanen, a professionally trained coach specializing in body image, self-worth and confidence joins me to share ways to break free of the noise. When the pandemic first hit, women across the country were forced into their homes and into their kitchens. After cooking roughly 1 MILLION Meals or at least it feels that way, we want a break. Thankfully Jannine Rane, co-founder of Zing, a Toronto based company that makes chef- prepared pantry shortcuts to help home cooks bring a meal from your fridge to your table in 15 minutes or less joins me to share the inspiration behind the company making cooking easier for at home chefs. Finally, Play is an essential part of child development, exploration and how we learn about the world and how it works. Sadly, it is often dismissed. Frances Fishman is the founder of The Play Base, a behavioural services provider that helps kids grow through what they need most: play. She joins me to share why play is so crucial in development and how to get more of it in your life.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Fully-vaccinated Canadians will be able to travel outside of the country without having to self-isolate for 14 days or having to stay in a quarantine hotel upon arrival, starting as early as July. Health Minister Patty Hajdu announced the first step in a “phased” easing of the federal government's pandemic border measures on Wednesday, more than a year after Canada restricted non-essential travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The move follows calls to end mandatory hotel quarantines and permit fully vaccinated Canadians to move around more freely. However, seeing these changes become a reality will depend on whether there are any concerning fluctuations in new case counts and vaccination rates, as well as pending consultations with provinces and territories. ALSO: Canada to receive 7M Moderna vaccine doses in June GUEST: Dr. Omar Khan, Assistant Professor with the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Department of Immunology with the University of Toronto GUEST: Mike McNaney, President and CEO of the National Airlines Council of Canada - A private consortium is getting the go-ahead to redevelop a series of downtown Hamilton entertainment venues after coming to a multi-year, multi-million dollar agreement with the city on Wednesday. Hamilton's city council gave formal approval for a partnership with the Hamilton Urban Precinct Entertainment Group (HUPEG) which is set to spend more than $500 million on a mixed-use development, including an affordable housing project and a $50-million restoration of First Ontario Centre. HUPEG is a consortium of local investors that includes Carmen's Group, the LIUNA Pension Fund, Fengate Capital, Meridian Credit Union, Jetport Inc. and Paletta International. The group was selected in July 2020 as the preferred redeveloper of FirstOntario Centre, the Hamilton Convention Centre and FirstOntario Concert Hall. GUEST:  PJ Mercanti, CEO of The Carmen's Group - The Ford government is taking the bold step of invoking the notwithstanding clause of the constitution to overturn a court decision issued just this week. The court decision deemed certain parts of the Elections Finances Act unconstitutional for limiting third party advertising but rather than comply with the ruling, the government is set to override the court. Government House Leader Paul Calandra has informed Speaker of the Legislative Assembly Ted Arnott of their intention to recall the House to pass the sections of Bill 254 again with the notwithstanding clause added in. “That is what we believe is needed to ensure fair elections in the province of Ontario,” Calandra said. Bill 254 expanded restrictions on third-party advertising that had first been introduced by the Wynne Liberal government in 2018. Union groups, led by the Working Families Coalition, challenged those rules in court but that case wasn't heard before these new rules were enacted.
