Has someone close to you chosen a medically-assisted death? The total number of Canadians requesting MAID rises 30% or so every year, accounting for just over 4% of all deaths in Canada in 2022. While concerns remain - including implications for people living with mental health challenges, severe disabilities, or in extreme poverty - MAID appears to be accepted by the general public as a relatively uncontroversial end of life decision. Is it? We get into it with National Post columnist Tristin Hopper in this episode of Real Talk.  0:45 | But first...what do vaccines have to do with a family doctor shortage across the country? Probably nothing...but Ryan's noticing a trend in the responses to our July 17 episode with Alberta Medical Association president Dr. Paul Parks.  WATCH THAT EPISODE: rtrj.info/071724HEALTHCARE 9:20 | Did you catch our show about workplace fatalities in Canada?

Good luck finding a family doctor if you live in Alberta, let alone getting an MRI, surgery, or cancer care right when you need it. Health care professionals are leaving in droves, thousands of patients are stuck on waitlists, and some rural communities are declaring a state of local health care crisis. In this episode of Real Talk, we find out how Alberta wound up in this mess, and whether or not it can be cleaned up.  2:45 | Dr. Paul Parks, an ER doctor and president of the Alberta Medical Association, tells us why the health care system is "as bad as it's ever been," and how it can be fixed.  THE AMA: https://www.albertadoctors.org/ 49:00 | There's a new culinary hot spot in Jasper!

We check out a compelling cross-aisle message from U.S. Representative Jeff Jackson (D), and criticism around Trump's handling of the civilian fatality at his Pennsylvania rally (20:30). TikTok Trump critic @danasinspired has a lot to say about supercharged political rhetoric, while former Republican representative Adam Kinzinger (Illinois) says American democracy is under threat.

This week I chatted to one of my neighbours. It just so happens that he's the man behind Bondi Beach Beer - brewer Paul Parks.  After spying a home brew kit in a shop window one day, Paul challenged his mates to a home brew competition. Despite not winning this amateur bout, the fire was lit and Paul sold his wife's car in pursuit of the perfect brew (a decision that's still a little sore for her). ‘YouTubing the shit out of it', he quickly refined his craft beer to a quality worthy of being crowned #31 in the 2018 GABS Hottest 100 Aussie Craft Beers poll. Now having recently added a lager ‘Bondi Draught' to the family, Paul has product on the shelves of nearly every establishment in Bondi.    In our chat, the former hospitality veteran and serial entrepreneur takes me through the impressively long list of business ventures that he's started over the years- including stand-up paddle boards, importing eyelash extensions and yes you guessed it, a drop-shipping a sex toy shop. I hear what Sydney's Kings Cross was like ‘back in the day' and what working in DCM, Sydney's answer to Studio 54 was like too. Paul also walks me through the brewing process itself; how to discover, develop and refine a cracking beer, and what it takes to keep the quality consistent when the business scales to quench more thirsty customers.  We also talk about all the other aspects of running a successful business; From mastering instagram marketing, to creating a culture around something you're truly passionate about. His future plans for the beer are exciting too... Keep up with the hoppy madness at Paul's instagram @beachbeerbondi This podcast got you thirsty? Make sure you check out the Bondi Beach Beer website to find out where you can get their brews (spoiler alert - pretty much all of Bondi!) Thanks for listening
