This episode features a conversation with Dianne Saxe, an environmental lawyer for over 50 years, who became Ontario's 3rd (and last) independent Environmental Commissioner in 2015 with the unanimous support of all members of the Legislative Assembly. Before being fired by Premier Doug Ford in 2019, Saxe and her team produced some 17 climate, environment, and energy reports and conducted hundreds of public educational presentations. Not content to merely investigate and speak truth to power she encouraged people to become more climate change literate and engaged in the fight for the urgent changes required to protect people and the planet. In the years following Ford's elimination of her position 2019, Saxe has taken a deep dive into electoral politics, becoming Deputy Leader of the Ontario Green Party in 2021 and a candidate for the Green Party in the Toronto riding of University/Rosedale in the 2022 provincial election. While unsuccessful provincially, Saxe won a seat on Toronto City Council representing University-Rosedale, or Ward 11, in November 2022. With her experience as an environmental lawyer, the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario, Deputy Leader of the Ontario Green Party and now a municipal councillor in Canada's largest city, Dianne Saxe has a unique vantage point from which to view our unfolding climate emergency and the actions required to address it. https://canoefm.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/PH-Resource-List-for-From-Environmental-Commissioner-to-Toronto-City-Councillor-Perspectives-on-the-Climate-Emergency-with-Dianne-Saxe-July-27-2023.pdf
The Bill Kelly Podcast w/ Shiona Thompson: Over the past weekend alone, eight emergency rooms in Ontario were forced to temporarily close or reduce services because they don't have the staff to run them. The closures have become so commonplace that this government had to issue a protocol for hospitals to follow when they are forced to close. It's shameful and it's inexcusable. The government shouldn't need a protocol to patch the holes in a crumbling healthcare system. What our hospitals – and our healthcare workers – need is a government that sees the value in public healthcare. GUEST: Mike Schreiner, Leader of the Ontario Green Party and MPP for Guelph - NDP MPP Monique Taylor (Hamilton Mountain) met with parents to talk solutions that could help children who are aging (or have already aged) out of the pediatric care system.

GUEST: Mike Schreiner, Leader of the Ontario Green Party and MPP for Guelph - While the Ontario government says it's on track to hit it's target of 30,000 new long-term care beds by 2028, a CBC News analysis of government records found several of the homes that plan to expand with taxpayer support are run by operators with repeated violations or poor outcomes through the pandemic. Minister of Long-Term Care Paul Calandra says he is confident that homes will be compliant with new accountability and oversight tools introduced in their legislation, the Fixing Long Term Care Act, which came into effect in April 2022. GUEST: Amit Arya, Lecturer, Division of Palliative Care, Department of Family & Community Medicine, University of Toronto and an Assistant Clinical Professor, Division of Palliative Care, Faculty of Health Sciences, McMaster University - We're still months away from the beginning of budget talks at city hall yet some councillors are already warning of massive increases looming for Hamilton taxpayers next year.

Viewed in that context, the fate of pop cans seems like small change. But in this case, small change would actually be an improvement. GUEST: John Michael McGrath, Digital Media Producer with TVO
The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Topics Include: · Ontario Place plans · Ford's love of polluting fossil gas · And more…. GUEST: Mike Schreiner, Leader of the Ontario Green Party and MPP for Guelph - After raising the suspicions of both local and global soccer fans when they purchased the club back in 2021, Hollywood stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have unequivocally proved that they're passionate football club owners who bought into the game for all the right reasons.

GUEST: Steve Paikin, Host of ‘The Agenda' on TVO - Canadian authorities are preparing for the imminent return of the anti-vaccine convoy, warning that increasingly violent rhetoric from extremist groups aligned with the movement could pose a threat to politicians, police, and civilians. On Wednesday, these anti-vaccine groups kicked off a summer of planned protest with an event inside Canada's Parliament buildings in Ottawa, supported by sitting Members of Parliament. Outside those buildings is where the so-called “freedom convoy” took over Canada's capital for several weeks this past winter, setting off similar movements across the globe. Protests planned for Canada Day, July 1, already have Canadian policing agencies worried, according to an intelligence assessment shared with VICE World News. GUEST: Justin Ling, Freelance Investigative Journalist - RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki pressed the Mounties to disclose the weapons used in the Nova Scotia mass shooting to help advance the Liberal government's gun-control legislation, the public inquiry into the April, 2020, killings was told. The Mass Casualty Commission released supporting documents and notes Tuesday involving a conversation between Commissioner Lucki and RCMP officers overseeing the Nova Scotia investigation into the murder of 22 people by a lone gunman.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: The Ontario government says parents will only be notified of a potential COVID-19 outbreak when approximately 30 per cent of staff and students in the school are absent but data on absentee rates will be available to the public before that threshold is met. Students in Ontario will return to in-person classes on Jan. 17 following nearly two weeks of remote learning due to a surge in COVID-19 cases. When student and staff absenteeism in an individual school reaches approximately 30 per cent from its baseline, it will trigger the principal to notify local health officials, the government said Wednesday.

GUEST: Dr. Kerry Bowman, Bioethicist and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine with the University of Toronto - As the semiconductor shortage drags on, manufacturers are opting to deliver cars without some of the features that those chips power. It's things they figure you won't miss or care about, which of course makes me ask why they had them in there to start with. When power windows started popping up in the “fancy” cars of my youth, my father had only one thing to say. “One more damned thing to break,” he growled, and my father was not wrong.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: In a rush to get COVID-19 aid out the door, Premier Doug Ford's government sent almost $1 billion to thousands of businesses that weren't eligible for it or were given more than their losses warranted, charges auditor general Bonnie Lysyk.

The important questions – like how transmissible it is, how good it is at evading immunity from vaccines or past illness, and whether it causes more severe illness – remain to be answered. While some scientists say it will be weeks before we get a clear picture of how Omicron will impact the pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) said Wednesday it expects to have more information on the transmissibility of the variant within days. GUEST: Dr. Dawn Bowdish, Tenured Professor of Pathology and Molecular Medicine at McMaster University and Canada Research Chair in Aging & Immunity with the DeGroote Institute for Infectious Disease Research A new study co-authored by researchers at Wilfrid Laurier University found that political partisanship plays a central role in how people remember events.

In 2020, amidst the pandemic, the district government of Muskoka has declared a climate emergency and endorsed a plan which will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 per cent by 2030 and take them down to zero by 2050. This is a region which votes staunchly conservative every provincial and federal election. Muskoka is also cottage country, full of lakes, rivers, forests and a premium destination for people who want to protect the great outdoors. But, environmental action doesn't happen by itself. Today we'll hear about an organization that is finding success in building awareness. The organization behind the curtain is Climate Action Muskoka. Today we hand the microphone over to my friend and colleague, Maya Bhullar. Maya is the editor of the Lynn Williams Activist Toolkit. Maya has also written an article about Climate Action Muskoka, and we thought you might want to hear from her guests in their own words and in their own voices. Maya talked to Sue McKenzie and Linda Mathers on February 5, 2021. Sue McKenzie is a retired elementary teacher, a longtime activist, a mother, and a co-founder of Climate Action Muskoka. Sue, her husband Len Ring and children have had the privilege of extensive world travel but have now committed not to travel by air again to cut their carbon footprint. Linda Mathers is also a retired educator. She has been a long time volunteer and climate advocate at both the community and political level as a key organizer with Climate Action Muskoka, as a mobilizer of volunteers for the Ontario Green Party and as an advocate for environmental stewardship on her community association.
