3 Minutes That Matter: Bob Rae, Hamas , Trudeau's Political Problem in Gaza

Bob Rae is a former Ontario Premier. He's a former interim Liberal Party leader. He's a Rhodes Scholar and at this moment he is Canada's Ambassador to the United Nations. Bob Rae has a private Twitter account in which he says his opinions are his own. They do not represent the government and never has that been more true than right now. A tweet the whole world is retweeting and liking from Bob Rae who says ''Need to understand the systematic, brutal cruelty of Hamas. Any organization like this has to be destroyed.'' These words are attached to words spoken by a volunteer rescuer in Southern Israel, an eyewitness to what Hamas did to men women and children, what Hamas did to babies. The torture and mass murder of Civilians. Bob Rae's message is that an organizaton this brutal needs to be destroyed. The government of Canada takes no such position. Scores of Liberal MPs actually want the Prime Minister to call for a ceasefire. Hamas Terrorists struck only two weeks ago today, October 7th, 2023 a day to borrow a former US President's words will live in infamy. The message that more than 20 Liberal MPs want Justin Trudeau to carry would live in insanity, some would say. Imagine telling the US to declare a ceasefire with Japan two weeks after Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941 or a ceasefire with al-Quaida two weeks after September 11th, 2001. Canada's Prime Minister has a political problem on his hands. If the Conservative Party of Canada agrees with Canada's Ambassador to the United Nations and the Prime Minister is found equivocating on the biggest geopolitical event of this year, Canadians may view Poilievre as a better representative of Canadian values than the current Prime Minister. But I am now in the realm of speculation. I don;t know that Canadians want Hamas destroyed. I have no data to support that. And Canadians may say Yes to the simple question do you want the terrorist organization destroyed but they may give a different answer if the question, Do you want Hamas destroyed even if the military operation to end Hamas may cost the lives of a hundred thousand Palestinians in Gaza? Tough times come with tough questions. This is not a video game. It's a real war, with real suffering and while Canadians can make judgements about Bob Rae and Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre this war is not about them. But this war that Hamas started two weeks ago with the mass murder and torture and kidnapping of Israeli civilians is not anywhere close to a ceasefire and may not be anywhere close to one a month from now and possibly a year from now. There is no way of knowing today how many countries will get militarily involved in this war. But we do know now that what happened two weeks ago today in Israel, the Israeli equivalent of 15 Nine Elevens, what happened on October 7th, 2023 will never be forgotten - Never.

Gentle reminder from Hen Mazzig on Twitter : if Hamas did not send thousands of terrorists into Israel on October 7, murdered 1,300 innocent civilians, and kidnapped 200 babies and elderly women, there would be no war. Mazzig is right and he is not illustrating the many atrocities that made up the days of Hamas Terror. Many people apparently don't want to hear those stories. Many even call them lies. Call it Hamas Denial if you like but it's a growing movement. Many progressives who claim to believe in Women's rights, Civil Rights, LGBTQ rights and workers rights appear to give Hamas a pass for not only denying those rights to Palestinians but murdering those who try to exercise them. Try organising a union in Gaza. Try having an openly Gay relationship. Try being a woman, dressing the way you want, working where you want getting an education, and getting a life where you are not treated like a milking cow. Gaza is where progressivism goes to die. But progressives give Hamas a pass, because Hamas does whatever they can to exterminate the Jewish state. Hamas doesn't want peace. They want genocide. I get that it's tough for a progressive to hear. Their problem. Not mine. I am not a progressive. I am a moderate, or what we once called normal. So Bruce Arthur is a Toronto Star writer I love to bring on the podcast. He made his bones in Sports but he has a great to deal to add to the dialogue of a nation. His most recent column is about The reason I wrote about Nate Erskine Smith, a Liberal MP who might be just the ticket for the leader of the Ontario Liberal party. Bruce says Erskine Smith is policy-obsessed and also lives in the real world and when we're having multiple crises, it might be a good thing to have an Ontario Premier who understands policy. Can't disagree with Bruce. The current populist premier is a train wreck on so many tracks. It would be better to have a premier who doesn't have populist contempt for people who know things, a Premier who isn't filling time with Hey Folks Hey Folks Hey Folks when he has nothing of substance to offer. Jim Jordan a Congressman from Ohio wants to have one of the most powerful positions in the world. Wants to be Speaker of the US House of Representatives. All money bills begin the House. Nothing can get done unless it's paid for. This is the House Jim Jordan wants to lead. In an interview with Dana Bash, Jordan says If Donald Trump wants to store classified material in a box in a bathroom, his bathroom he can do it." Jordan isn't fit to run a dog kennel. Hopefully Republicans will kennel him like they have their predecessors. Who let these dogs out? Donald Trump. We'll see if American justice will kennel America's wolf in wolf's clothing.

“People are dying from your fatphobia and that's wild. We are so hung up on the way theatre has looked forever that we can't change our perspective enough to literally save people's lives.” TW: Discussion of eating disorders. I found Greg on TikTok. Greg is the founder of EveryBODY on Stage, which aims to break down stigma and fat-phobia in the arts. There is such multi-layered dialogue when it comes to each person's experience. Being a CoVid long hauler changed my body by gaining weight – and even when I find the positives and self love when it comes to myself, my body, and the industry, it's rooted in privilege. And when it comes to weight and age – why is it that a bigger body in educational theatre equals playing someone older or someone not worthy of love? How does that affect someone in their formative years? Why is it we are praised for losing weight, even when it's done in an unhealthy way? Greg and I breakdown how fatphobia dominates the theatre industry, while shedding light on the people who are doing their best to fix this. Plus, we also get into how Funny Girl on Broadway battled responses based in fatphobia and anti-semitism and how as an industry, we need to move forward by communicating with kindness. Please note – the group I talk about in the episode who's name slips my mind is The Industry Standard Group (TISG) who are innovating Broadway by finding new pathways toward equitable representation in commercial theatre. Also, use the code “MULTI” at the EveryBODY on Stage store for a discount at https://www.everybodyonstage.com/ “There is this narrative that a fat body is bad and ugly and gross. I'm done with that. I don't care if other people find me attractive because I don't need that anymore. I am happy in my body and I deserve to take up space in this body. So, like, I don't know… get into it society.” Greg Carruthers (he/him, she/her) is a Toronto-based choreographer, actor and body-positive activist (@EveryBODYonStage). Hailing from Bradford, Ontario, Greg studied Music Theatre Performance at St. Lawrence College which recently nominated him for an Ontario Premier's Award. Greg has choreographed for Theatre Sheridan, Hart House Theatre, Canada's Wonderland, The Madinat Theatre (Dubai), and the July 1st ceremonies at Queens Park (Toronto). As a performer, Greg was most recently seen on the 1st National Tour of 'Trey Parker's Cannibal the Musical'. As the Artistic Producer and Founder of EveryBODY on Stage, Greg has produced projects for Musical Stage Co's “Musical Moments” and Buddies in Bad Times “Queer Pride Festival”. With funding from the Canada Council for the Arts, Greg conceived, choreographed and produced a short film titled "Cell Block Tango: Reimagined" which was screened as part of the Toronto Outdoor Picture Show.

And then furthermore, in a leaked private phone call, Doug Ford—who is the premier of Ontario, Canada's largest province—said that he is about to scrap the vaccine passport and go back to normal.

With this experience he helps companies and people redefine what's truly possible. He is an expert on resiliency and change. Having experienced both catastrophic failure and extraordinary success he teaches how anyone can overcome perceived limitations and create high performance results.Joe is also the Executive Director and Co-Founder of The Push for Change Foundation, a charity advocating for youth homelessness prevention. Joe walked 9064KM across Canada from May 1, 2016 until September 29, 2017, pushing a shopping cart to raise money and awareness about youth homelessness.What is most amazing about Joe is that in 1989 he was living on the streets of Vancouver as a homeless skid row addict. Through perseverance, determination and his resilient human spirit, Joe pulled himself out of darkness and despair, to become a highly respected business and community leader.Since 1989, Joe has acquired two college diplomas, became the CEO of one of Vancouver's leading multimedia companies, walked across Canada and achieved more success than he could ever have imagined. Joe has been recognized by MacLean's Magazine as one of “10 Canadians who make a difference,” won the BC Courage to Come Back Award, received The Ontario Premier's Award for Business, was given an Honorary Doctorate from Laurentian University and was recognized by the Senate of Canada with their Canada 150 Medal.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Premier Doug Ford's embattled Progressive Conservatives concede they “poorly communicated and poorly executed” measures designed to stop the spread of COVID-19. Reeling after a weekend of policy flip-flops that saw the government backtrack on random police spot checks and closing playgrounds, the Tories admitted Monday they “need to do a better job as a government” to convey to Ontarians the importance of staying home. ALSO: Growing calls for Ontario Premier Doug Ford to resign amid worsening COVID-19 3rd wave. GUEST: Dr. Amit Arya, Co-Founder of Doctors For Justice in Long Term Care and Palliative Care Physician - Canada’s first federal budget in more than two years extends Ottawa’s COVID-19 “lifeline” for those still struggling after a difficult year — including aid for laid-off workers — another few months as it aims to pull Canada through the pandemic once and for all. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland ‘s first crack at a budget plan is also widely viewed as a pre-election platform. There is more than $100 billion in new spending over the next three years targeting a wide variety of voters. There are promises for seniors and their caregivers, working parents, students and business owners. Freeland is also looking ahead to the post-pandemic Canada the Liberals want to see, one that has $10-a-day childcare, the ability to produce its own vaccines, national standards for long-term care homes and small- and medium-sized businesses equipped with the workers and technology they need to survive. GUEST: MP Ed Fast, Conservative Shadow Minister for Finance GUEST: Dr. Lori Turnbull, Director of the School of Public Administration with Dalhousie University - The jurors who sat quietly off-camera through three weeks of draining testimony in Derek Chauvin’s murder trial in George Floyd’s death moved into the spotlight today, still out of sight but now in control of verdicts awaited by a skittish city. The jury of six white people and six people who are Black or multiracial resumed deliberations Tuesday morning. Anonymous by order of the judge and sequestered now until they reach a verdict, they spent just a few hours on their task Monday after the day was mostly consumed by closing arguments in which prosecutors argued that Chauvin squeezed the life out of Floyd last May in a way that even a child knew was wrong. The defense contended that the now-fired white officer acted reasonably and that the 46-year-old Floyd died of a heart condition and illegal drug use.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - Bob Mitchell is an Albertan and a 45-year veteran of the Alberta oil fields. Mr. Mitchell has traveled the world's oil producing regions. After several conversations with him about the challenges of being in the oil sands business, Roy invited him on the show, to share a message for his fellow Canadians. Last weekend, Premiers Jason Kenney of Alberta and Blaine Higgs of New Brunswick both spoke on the program about equalization payments to Quebec and the Premier of Quebec Francois Legault maintaining he doesn't want oil from the West crossing the province in a new state-of-the-art pipeline (Energy East) delivering such oil & products to New Brunswick's Irving refinery in St. John. A look back to last December and a Leger poll of Quebec residents for the Montreal Economic Institute on the issue of Alberta oil and a pipeline crossing the province shows a very different picture as Quebecers support both Alberta oil and a pipeline. It's time to revisit the results of the Leger poll. Will TMX be the final pipeline for Canada? And have C-69 and C-48 kneecapped Canada's economy? Running $20 billion deficits with the national debt approaching $700 billion (in supposed good times) where will the revenue come from to pay for Canada's social programs, health care, pensions and more with the Canadian energy industry (AB & SK) locked up, while foreign energy (oil) remains welcome in tanker-happy Eastern Canada? A Canadian mayor is sounding the alarm … again. Mayor Lori Ackerman of the City of Fort St. John, British Columbia appeared before Canada's Senate on May 13 this year during the Senate hearings on Bill C-69. With the Canadian Senate signing off on C-69 (the Impact Assessment Act and the Canadian Energy Regulator Act) and C-48 the oil tanker ban bill (B.C.), what awaits? Global News broke the story of controversial appointments made by Ontario Premier Doug Ford's office. They include 26-year-old Tyler Albrecht, a friend of the son of, until yesterday, Ford's Chief of Staff Dean French. Albrecht's job would have consisted of being an agent-general for Ontario based in New York City and would came with a $164,000 salary. Global News also found another possible connection exists between French and Taylor Shields, who's based in London and is a cousin of French's wife. Both appointments were cancelled by the Ontario Premier. And the Danforth mass shooting in Toronto leaves many questions unanswered. Roy's guest has focused his coverage on the shooting and subsequent police investigation since it took place. Guests: Bob Mitchell Germain Belzile, Senior Associate Researcher with the Montreal Economic Institute Dan McTeague. Senior petroleum analyst at Gasbuddy.com, and former Liberal MP of 18 years Lori Ackerman, Mayor of Fort St. John, B.C. Joe Warmington, Columnist with the Toronto Sun.

The Empire Club of Canada Presents: Tony Irwin, President & CEO, Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario On No Vacancy: Tackling Ontario's Rental Housing Supply Crisis With low rental vacancy rates across the province and continued uncertainty about Toronto's volatile housing market, it's becoming more difficult to meet the increasing demand for quality long-term rental options for Ontarians. The increase in demand for rental housing is being led by two groups: millennials, who rank urban location as more important than home size or type and are less likely to purchase a home than any other generation in modern history, and boomers, who are downsizing in their later years and looking to rent, while retaining the equity from their former home. For the second year in a row Toronto's rental vacancy rate is just 1.1% and 1.8% across Ontario. Many believe that more needs to be done to keep up with the demand from new housing-seekers and new immigrants. Ontarians need policy solutions from all levels of government that will stimulate vital new rental supply, and reduce pressure on prices for both traditional home ownership and rental. FRPO's President & CEO Tony Irwin will address the issue of Ontario's insufficient rental housing supply head-on, discussing potential short-term and long-term solutions. Tony Irwin is President & CEO at the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario. Before joining FRPO, Tony was President & CEO with the Canadian Consumer Finance Association; a national trade association representing businesses that provide a range of financial product to Canadians. Previously, Tony was Vice President, North American Government Affairs, with Dollar Financial Group, Inc., where he served as Chairman of the Canadian Payday Loan Association and was active with the Community Financial Services Association of America. From March 2009 to July 2012 Tony was Manager of External Affairs & Consumer Relations with Allstate Insurance Company of Canada, where he implemented a national government relations strategy and served as official company spokesperson. Prior to joining Allstate, Tony served as Executive Director of the Justin Eves Foundation, a non-profit organization granting scholarships and bursaries to learning-disabled and disadvantaged young people to assist them to achieve a post-secondary education. Tony has also held key political roles and was Senior Advisor to an Ontario Premier and Executive Assistant to the Leader of the Official Opposition.

Our guest today Dr. Stuart Phillips, a professor of kinesiology at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, who is best known for his research into muscle health and the benefits of dietary protein. Stu is the director of the McMaster Physical Activity Centre of Excellence, a state-of-the-art exercise research and training center. It is devoted to studying and improving the health and well-being of older adults as well as people with chronic diseases and disabilities. In addition to his work in the kinesiology department at McMaster, Stu is adjunct professor in the university’s School of Medicine. He is a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine and the American College of Nutrition. He received the New Investigator Award from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research, the Ontario Premier's Research Excellence Award, and the Young Investigator Award from Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology. In today’s interview we discuss: [00:08:19] Dawn introduces the importance of dietary protein and its role in muscle health, and tissue regeneration more generally, which makes it one of the only macro nutrients we need on a daily basis. [00:10:59] A recent study (2017) showed that whole eggs promoted a greater amount of muscle protein synthesis than egg whites, suggesting that there may be benefits to the extra nutrients found in the egg yolk. [00:12:53] Why Stu believes the recommended daily allowance for protein is too low. [00:14:06] The differences between animal and plant-based protein. [00:16:31] The phenomenon of muscle synthesis (anabolism) and catabolism. [00:17:54] Highlights of the recent findings coming out of Kevin Tipton’s group which indicates that the dose-response relationship may depend on the amount of muscle tissue that was recruited during exercise, with the ingestion of 40 g protein further increasing muscle protein. [00:20:43]A 2013 paper from Stu’s group titled, “Dose-dependent responses of myofibrillar protein synthesis with beef ingestion are enhanced with resistance exercise in middle-aged men.” [00:27:52] Stu’s thoughts on the recommendation of pre-sleep protein feeding. [00:37:52] An overview of the Physical Activity Centre of Excellence, a state-of-the-art, exercise research and training lab at McMaster. [00:43:37] The importance of maintaining healthy functional muscle mass and function as we move into middle and later life. [00:46:56] Stu’s paper, “Muscle Disuse as a Pivotal Problem in Sarcopenia-Related Muscle Loss and Dysfunction.” [00:50:25] The need to add more protein to our diets as we get older, which is something that Dr. Valter Longo discussed on episode 64 of STEM-Talk. [00:56:24 How fasting affects muscle protein turnover, which were topics covered in episode 7 of STEM-Talk, an interview with Mark Mattson, and episode 79, which was an interview with Satchin Panda, author of the “The Circadian Code.” [00:57:32] Whether a ketogenic diet with sufficient protein would in any way be detrimental to muscle mass. [01:05:47] Stu’s thoughts on a study that was conducted on behalf of the American College of Sports Medicine that found supplementation with HMB failed to enhance body composition to a greater extent than a placebo. Show notes [0:02:51] Stu talks about being born in the UK but growing up in Canada. [00:03:09] Dawn asks about Stu’s passions for all kinds of sports as a kid. [00:03:27] Stu recalls his high school science teacher, who was responsible for getting him interested in biology and chemistry. [00:03:44] Dawn asks what led Stu to choose McMaster University after high school. [00:04:19] Ken brings up that Stu was captain of the Ruby team his senior year, and while it looked as though he was headed to a great season, things didn’t turn out as planned.
