Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, my soul. I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing. Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD their God. (Psalm 146:1-5) As followers of the victorious Lord Jesus Christ, we use divine strategies for navigating our way in the world, not human ones.  And that makes us a bit strange.   But it's a theme that flows through the full breadth of the Bible—even here in these last five praise Psalms of the Psalter.   It's a theme the Church tends to forget though, just like the rest of God's people throughout the ages.  Or at least, we have a hard time grasping it.  And the crux of the problem is probably this: God asks that as we rely on Him—the God who we can't see—we drop our reliance on many of the things that we can see: humans, government, insurance providers, political parties, the strength of our own actions and agency in the world, the number in our bank account, you name it. God asks us to let go of the things that we feel we have some control over in order to trust in Him, the God who we cannot control.   What a difficult thing.  At many-a leadership training retreat, you'll find an exercise called the “trust fall.”  One of the folks at the retreat will be blindfolded, told to cross their arms in front of their chest so that they can't use their arms, and then are told to lean back until they fall over.  The idea being, that the rest of the members of the team behind you will catch you, not letting you hit the ground.  Of course, you're blindfolded, so you can't be sure that they're there.  And, maybe you don't know these people all that well—are they the sorts of folks that would let you fall just to laugh and point?  You don't know.  But you can't rely on your own legs or arms to catch you either—you're vulnerable.  Helpless.  Nothing between you and the floor but the trust that these unseen strangers will indeed do what they said they'd do, and catch you.   Following this God we claim is a lot like that.  He tells us that in fact, we're already vulnerable and unable to do much to save ourselves.  Despite the illusions of control we seemingly have over this world and our place in it, we cannot save ourselves.  Not from sins, but also not from the generational hurts of our families, the restructuring of our workplace, the chronic pains of our bodies.  We actually have very little control over our world and lives.  We're quite vulnerable, and our position in this world is always somewhat precarious.   So God asks us to let go of the things we can see and to fall into His hands—the hands of the God we cannot see—instead.  An act of trust: a trust fall.     It is easier to trust the people we can see though, like our leaders.  Or the things we can hold, like our insurance and OHIP cards.  Or the things we can do, like work or think our way to a place of self-sufficiency and security.   But all these things, including our own strength is guaranteed to fail at some point or another.  We don't live forever.     There is only One who can guarantee our trust will not be broken—and that's God.  The only One who remains unchanging amid our changing lives and circumstances, the only One who endures beyond the fleeting strength of our bodies and institutions.   So, will you let yourself fall into the arms of God?  Even though you can't see Him? Blessed is the one whose hope and trust is in The Lord their God. As you journey on, go with his blessing:     May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you : wherever he may send you. May he guide you through the wilderness : protect you through the storm. May he bring you home rejoicing : at the wonders he has shown you.  May he bring you home rejoicing : once again into our doors.

The Government of Ontario is set to expand the number of private health clinics allowed to perform certain types of surgeries and diagnostic procedures. Critics say the plan will further burden the healthcare system by pulling away hospital staff, while supporters say it's a necessary step to help struggling hospitals. Mike Schreiner has called on the Attorney General to probe the recent deal allowing for ServiceOntario kiosks in Staples stores. Part of that announcement included the planned closure of a number of ServiceOntario locations, a detail that's caused some concern. The Hazel McCallion Line is getting a new business case to lay out how it will connect Port Credit, Mississauga, and Brampton. It's one of several transit projects still being built in the province, but when will it open? That's the $4.6 billion dollar question.

A 15-year-old boy is dead after he was thrown by one vehicle before being hit by a second while crossing the road in Vaughan; the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses says not enough time has passed to recall CEBA loans; and, an Ontario man was shocked when OHIP paid him less than $2,000 towards a $28,000 bill for shoulder surgery at a private clinic in Calgary.

OHIP paid an Ontario man less than $2,000 towards a $28,000 bill for shoulder surgery at a private clinic in Calgary but OHIP SHOULD cover it! He was on a waiting list for 3 years and has no other choice of healthcare in Ontario!

Between a virtual clinic and a regular OHIP-funded clinic, could there be a hybrid model to serve thousands of orphan patients ? A Brockville pharmacist believes so. We check in on the new clinic this morning Twenty years after the great blackout of 2003, Ontario's electricity production is moving towards a new direction, and a focus on battery energy storage. But as facilities are being proposed across Ontario, one township has given the idea a resounding NO. The Mayor of Elizabethtown-Kitley Township joined me this morning to explain why. A Mallorytown photographer is very busy this holiday season...taking Christmas photos of Santa with people's pets. We heard more about the demand, and the challenges, of capturing critters on camera.

Topic 1: Witnessing Genocide in GazaWe check in with each other and the audience in terms of the emotional toll of watching ethnic cleansing happening in real time, and reaffirm the need to keeping talking about Palestine. Reports from a WHO visit to Al-Shifa Hospital, verification of certain reports and political responses globally are all part of the discussion. Topic 2: Ontario Paying for Private Surgery ProfitsDoug Ford's government has confirmed reports that they are paying private (for profit) clinics in the Province premium rates to perform public surgeries. Surgeries that Ontario hospitals have the ability to perform are being sourced out to units run by giant corporations who are getting paid more than twice the amount. We talk about the implications to the healthcare system, the hypocrisy of a private outsourcing costing twice the amount and the many ways in which the Ford government will try to spin this in their favour.CORRECTION: The Www.ontariohealthcoalition.ca has found that many clinics are charging patients above and beyond the OHIP fees. Topic 3: Exploiting Post-Secondary StudentsReports of students at Humber College suffering from malnutrition, with some fainting, triggers a discussion on the vulnerable economic position students in Canada find themselves in. The pressures put on them and the many ways in which these educational institutions facilitate their exploitation.

Graham and Jordan hear from Ontario NDP Leader Merit Stiles about a number of issues including OHIP and housing; Petes face the Steelheads in a rare Tuesday night affair; what were your earliest memories of the pandemic

In this episode, nurses and healthcare advocates Amie Archibald-Varley & Sara Fung discuss the new privatization clinics and hospitals proposed by the Ford government in Canada and Ontario. We also discuss strategies for how people can get involved in making changes and protecting our current system.  “That's the standard technique of privatization: Defund, make sure things don't work, people get angry, you hand it over to private capital”~ Noam Chomsky. #privatization #healthcare #health #canada #ontario #surgery #privateclinics #forprofit #hospital #care #caplitalism #upselling #OHIP #nursing #Nurse #podcast #upselling #twotieredsystem #dougford #slyviajones #grittynurse #AmieArchibaldVarley #SaraFung #advocates #equity #healthequity #medicare #medicaid    Links to resources/ Written Credits:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nd_lJCWOUM Noam Chomsky    https://cupe.ca/fords-plan-expand-private-clinics-ontario-will-cost-patients-dearly-risk-lives-and-significantly   https://www.ontariohealthcoalition.ca/wp-content/uploads/Back_Front-1.png   https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-doug-ford-private-clinics-health-care-1.6712444   https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-doug-ford-surgery-wait-times-private-sector-clinics-1.6715340   https://www.thestar.com/opinion/star-columnists/2023/01/19/the-warnings-about-doug-ford-and-private-health-care-are-coming-true.html   Video Clip: Credit:  https://www.tvo.org/video/is-expanding-private-health-care-the-right-move-for-ontario        

This week on Open Sources Guelph it's Blue Thursday, the saddest Thursday of the week. To celebrate, we're going to talk about the Code Blue in our healthcare system that Ontario's inglorious premier thinks he's solved, and then we're going to talk about some issues around Toronto's men and women in blue, the members of its police service. But it's not all depressing because we've brought in an old friend to talk about all the math city council will be doing next week! This Thursday, January 5, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Doug's Anatomy. Premier Doug Ford and Health Minister Sylvia Jones announced that the Ontario government will lean on private clinics to help clear the surgery backlog, which now sits at nearly one million procedures. Of course, Ford says that you will only ever have to "pay with your OHIP card and not with your credit card", but the whole province is understandably freaked out that Ford is opening the door to two-tier healthcare. Do we have to hit 9-1-1 on this policy direction? The Money Split. Last month, Toronto Mayor John Tory announced that he was looking at a $48 million increase to the police budget. This comes after months of Tory warning about a budget crunch from legislative changes, and it comes after years of discussion about social justice reform. It also comes at a time of several funerals for officers killed in the line of duty, so maybe "Defund the Police" isn't as politically neutral as it once was. So how do we make sense of these conflicting issues and talk straight about policing? The Allt in Our Stars. Next week, Guelph City Council will sit down to ratify the 2023 budget, but a lot has changed since last December when the City's first multi-year budget was passed. Ward 3 Councillor Phil Allt will join us to talk about those challenges including the financial fallout of Bill 23 and Mayor Cam Guthrie's proposed levy to raise funds to combat homelessness and mental health issues. We also talk about the varying definitions of affordability and the fate of big infrastructure projects like the library. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Ontario's integrity commission and auditor general will launch probes into the Ford government's decision to open portions of the Greenbelt for development, acting on requests from the Ontario NDP and other opposition parties. The integrity commissioner accepted a request on Wednesday from incoming Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles, to look into whether housing minister Steve Clark broke conflict of interest and insider information rules GUEST: David Crombie, former federal cabinet minister, Former Mayor or toronto & former chair of the Greenbelt Council - Health Canada is reiterating that it expects provinces to fund medically necessary health services as one company raises fears of two-tiered health care in Ontario. Maple, a Loblaw-funded virtual care business based in Toronto, charges $69 per doctor's visit (or $30 per month for 30 visits per year) — a service that would be free in person. The Canada Health Act requires provincial and territorial health insurance plans to cover "all medically necessary services," Health Canada spokesperson Anne Génier said in a statement. Charging Ontarians for insured services is banned by provincial legislation in accordance with the Canada Health Act. Ontario has insured virtual visits under OHIP, but Maple has found a way around the province's insurance. GUEST: Dr. Jason Profetto, Family Physician & Chair of Clinical Skills and MD Admissions with McMaster University - We discuss all the big topics like encampments, transparency and Airbnb rentals with Hamilton Mayor, Andrea Horwath. GUEST: Andrea Horwath, Mayor of Hamilton

Guest: Rob Ferguson, Queen's Park bureau The Ontario government has unveiled their plan to deal with surgical backlogs in the province by moving some procedures to private clinics. Critics fear this move will pull staff away from hospitals, and say this is moving the province toward more privatized, two-tiered health care that will cause further issues to the existing public system. This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar. Audio sources: Global News

For-profit, privately-run clinics in Ontario will see expanded power to perform surgeries covered by OHIP. But will privatizing medical procedures lead to shortages of doctors, nurses, and staff in already under-staffed hospitals? Then, Ontario's auditor general will decide this week whether to open an investigation into the Ford government's plan to develop the Greenbelt. What are the environmental impacts of this and what will the impact be on municipalities? Co-hosts John Michael McGrath and Steve Paikin give the Liberal party a post-mortem on a report that breaks down the party's dismal performance in the last election. What does it mean for the future of the party and how will it elect its leader? And we remember David Onley, Ontario's 28th lieutenant governor, who died last weekend.

A 30-year-old woman will most likely have to pay $100, 000 for a cancer surgery in the US because doctors in Ontario had told her to start preparing herself for palliative care.  A medical ethicist will weigh in on whether OHIP should pick up that tab.  PLUS The TTC responds to the guerrilla bus lane created this morning by a transit advocacy group.   

Today on Free For All Friday: plenty of nurses and retired nurses called in to weigh in on the staffing shortages that hospitals have been forced to grapple with this summer and that have led to the temporary closure of ER departments. Over the past week, Ontario's new health minister Sylvia Jones has been facing criticism for downplaying the shortage and refusing to call it a crisis. At the same time, nursing representatives like Cathryn Hoy and Doris Grinspun say the situation is desperate. Some nurses haven't taken vacations for years and nearly 1 in 4 working nurses in the province are eligible for retirement. Then there is Minister Jones' confusing comments about further privatization of Ontario's healthcare: first saying she is open to everything, then saying no it's actually innovation she's open to and not privatization while trying to reassure residents that OHIP will continue to cover healthcare services for Ontario residents. Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!

Today Lowell asks if it's time to think outside the box and start allowing private health care clinics, covered by OHIP, to operate in Ontario. We already use private medical options for blood tests, dental, mammograms, eye care and more. On this episode of Lowell Green Live he makes the argument for it, and points to the success of the Shouldice Hernia Hospital in Toronto. Today's live audience was overwhelmingly in favour of the idea. Lowell is live weekdays at 2pm ET on www.BlastTheRadio.com/lowellgreen

What is the king of all the supplements and why isn't its testing covered by OHIP? Host, Manpreet Sahota chats with Dr. Ricky Brar, Specialized in Functional Medicine, on the topic of supplements, the good and the bad ones.

Billie Harrigan is a Traditional Birth Companion. Billie has been serving birthing families for almost 40 years. She is the author of the world's first research-based and accredited certification course for becoming a trauma-informed perinatal professional. She has authored and edited continuing education for maternity providers and allied birth professionals in advanced topics and has taught birth professionals and parents internationally. Billie is the Owner and Director of Birth Trauma Ontario, which provides education and training for maternity providers and allied birth professionals in trauma-informed care, as well as providing information and support for parents and loved ones that are dealing with birth-related trauma or birthing after trauma. DISCLAIMER: Trigger warning: loss, stillbirth and poor birth outcomes are discussed in this podcast We have many friends in the birthing community, nurses, midwives, doulas, and we see a lot of incredible care. Please don't be discouraged by this episode. But have a fire lit inside of you that NOW is the time to lean into your intuition and learn about your options for birth. Our biggest advice to anyone who is newly pregnant, is to do your homework. Don't wait until your second birth to take control. Learn about the hospital funnels, and what's on the menu for the choices you are making. In our experience there can be so much good in the birth world as well, but the power remains in your hands. Better care is available the more empowered you are in your autonomy and choice. Billie sees a clientele of people who have experienced birth trauma and/or who want to birth outside of OHIP covered birth. Birth trauma is experienced by 1 out of 4 people experiencing birth and this is not ok, we are working to change this. Billie is such an interesting, passionate human and we loved hearing from her experience what is happening in the obstetric system.
