Listen to today's podcast... According to American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine the accident risk is two to six times higher for those suffering from sleep apnea than it is for regular drivers. Everyday, car crashes are caused by drivers with sleep apnea falling asleep at the wheel. I grew up with people who snored.  I thought that everyone did.  And I thought, like most people, that it was no big deal.  However, people with untreated sleep apnea are more likely to have motor vehicle crashes, hypertension, heart attacks, irregular heartbeat stroke, depression, impotence and diabetes. Do You Think You May Have Sleep Apnea? Are you often very sleepy throughout the day? Do others tell you that you snore or have short pauses in your breathing while you sleep? Are you known to choke, gasp, or hold your breath while asleep? Do you think you get a full night's sleep most nights but still wake up tired? Are you overweight? The Public Health Agency of Canada found that 26%of Canadian adults aged 18 years and older are estimated to be at high risk for having sleep apnea and only 5% of people at high risk have been tested for the condition. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Sleep Apnea Day and Sleep Awareness Week: If in doubt, get it checked out.  Go to see your doctor and ask for a referral to a sleep clinic. Decrease your risk. You can control your diet and weight, how much you exercise, how you use alcohol and caffeine and whether you smoke.  All of these can lower your risk for sleep apnea.

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an order saying that Canadian and Mexican goods covered by North America's free-trade agreement will be temporarily exempted from American tariffs. Ontario Premier Doug Ford plans to keep retaliatory measures in place until all U.S. tariffs are lifted. The risk of flooding along the Thames River in Chatham-Kent has been downgraded for now. The organizers of Wednesday's job fair in CK say the event was a huge success. If you still haven't received your $200 rebate cheque from the Ontario government, it could still be on the way. Canada's Public Health Agency has put a travel notice in place for all countries because of the rise in the number of measles cases.

Today I am delighted to share this imperfectly perfect, perfectly imperfect conversation with Professor Melissa Walls, an Indigenous researcher who works with American Indian and First Nations communities to promote health equity through culturally centered projects.Melissa Walls, PhD (Bois Forte and Couchiching First Nation Anishinaabe) is Director of the Great Lakes Hub for the Johns Hopkins Center for American Indian HealthDr. Walls is an Indigenous social scientist committed to collaborative research with Indigenous communities to promote health equity. Her involvement in community-based participatory research (CBPR) projects to date includes mental health epidemiology; culturally-relevant, family-based substance use prevention and mental health promotion programming and evaluation; and examining the impact of stress and mental health on diabetes. Dr. Walls's collaborative work has received funding from the National Institutes of Health and the Public Health Agency of Canada.In this episode, we explore her amazing work, her journey and how when any one encounters indigenous thought, the invitation is maybe not to interrogate it and, maybe just support it. An invitation to be curious and be open.Melissa's request is also: 'please stop making us justify who we are, because a lot has been taken already, and this is taking a lot of energy away from us."And so much more...I invite you to take a listen. I am sure you will love every minute of this. I know I did!

THIS IS A REPLAY OF EPISODE #85 FROM THE PSYCH HEALTH AND SAFETY PODCAST CANADA The Psych Health and Safety Podcast will be returning 14th January 2025! In this episode Ian speaks with Dr. Sandra Moll and they discuss why and how the peer support apps PeerOnCall (https://www.oncallapp.ca/) and Beyond Silence (https://www.beyondsilence.ca/) can provide game-changing early intervention for public safety personnel and healthcare workers. Early intervention can prevent a significant degree of harm and suffering. Sandra describes the design, implementation, and function of the apps. Currently the apps are in a research phase where they are researching "what works for whom in what context" to optimize efforts. In the podcast we review how peer support fits in the continuum of workplace mental health recommended by the WHO and why apps and the real people they connect can have a great impact. Peer support is one of many tools and having the right service at the right time can be critical to obtaining early support. PeerOnCall evaluation research was funded by Movember, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). Beyond Silence research was funded by CIHR and PHAC. The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent the views of the Government of Canada.

*Episode disclaimer: today's episode contains discussions about violence against women, including sensitive topics which some listeners may find triggering. Listener discretion is advised.* According to the UN, Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed. Globally, almost one in three women have been subjected to physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both, at least once in their life. Annually, November 25th is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and this year, the date marks the launch of the global UNiTE campaign (Nov 25- Dec 10) — an initiative which kicks off the annual 16 Days of Activism. This is an opportunity to revitalize commitments and call for accountability and action from decision-makers, concluding on the day that commemorates International Human Rights Day on December 10th. All of the panelists you'll be hearing from have lived experience as it relates to violence against women, as survivors or loved ones of survivors, and those who are in supporting roles within their communities. While this panel is based in Southwestern Ontario, the topics and themes that will be discussed are far reaching here in Canada, and around the world.  More about the panelists: Carlen Costa will moderate this discussion, but brings a lot of support to this conversation as a registered psychotherapist who has herself, been a victim of violence.

Support Louie, Chris and more importantly, homeless veterans here:https://www.gofundme.com/f/oceanseliterowhttps://oceanseliterow.com/As we recently discussed on The Richie Allen Show, a Public Health Bill is being developed for Northern Ireland which will provide the Public Health Agency there with extraordinary new powers. It is horrifying. The new legislation will authorise the agency to mandate vaccines, detain anyone who refuses a vaccine, force people into hospitals against their will and quarantine anyone indefinitely. For the most part, the people of Northern Ireland are blissfully unaware of these plans. To discuss this and more, Richie is joined by the wonderful Dr. Jayne Donegan. www.jayne-donegan.co.uk

Richie is joined by Melissa Ciummei. A Public Health Bill is being developed for Northern Ireland to update the current health legislation and provide the Public Health Agency with extraordinary new powers. It is horrifying. The new legislation would authorise the Agency to mandate vaccines, detain anyone who refused a vaccine, force people into hospitals against their will and quarantine someone indefinitely. For the most part, the people of Northern Ireland are blissfully unaware of these plans. To discuss the implications of it all, Richie is joined by investor, commentator and broadcaster Melissa Ciummei. https://www.health-ni.gov.uk/consultations/policy-proposals-inform-development-new-public-health-bill-northern-irelandhttps://www.facebook.com/melissa.ciummeihttps://x.com/KSCUBKEE

Ontario Provincial Police are investigating a fatal crash in Lakeshore. Police have made an arrest in connection to an aggravated assault investigation. A Chatham duo recently completed the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge, raising $20K for the local chapter of the Special Olympics. The Public Health Agency of Canada says although it's not officially over, a Listeria outbreak linked to several plant-based milks appears to be slowing down. The Orville Wright Pool in Chatham will open its gates for the annual Doggy Dip on Saturday to support the CK Animal Rescue.

Another swab event is being scheduled in Chatham-Kent, to help look for a bone marrow match for a local 16-year-old. Ontario's government says they're continuing to monitor and combat the issue of human trafficking in the province. The OFATV are collaborating with Co-operators Insurance to enhance safety and education for ATV riders. The Public Health Agency of Canada says the investigation into the Listeria outbreak linked to plant-based beverages is ongoing. And Canada had another productive day at the Olympics.

Johan Floderus and Saeed Azizi are now back in Sweden after last weekend's prisoner swap with Iran. While there's relief that the pair are back safe, there's also criticism of the decision to free Hamid Noury who was serving a life sentence for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Iran in exchange for the two Swedes. We hear from Swedish Radio's Middle East reporter Johan Mathias Sommarström. Also, we hear reaction to a new report from the Public Health Agency this week looking at the impact screen time has on children.And we meet a strawberry farmer handling the midsummer rush, and find out about Sweden's Blood Donor Dog of the Year.Presenters: Dave Russell and Mitch Cordner.Producer: Michael Walsh

Canadian airline travellers are frustrated. The added fees for everything from baggage to seat selection - make it difficult to figure out how much your trip will actually cost. Ottawa has vowed to make these charges more transparent. But there is still no action plan in place. And: Have you noticed a lot of people getting sick lately? If you think it looks like COVID, you may be right. Canada's Public Health Agency says it's been seeing an increased spread of new, but less serious variants. Plus: Experts say climate change is causing longer hotter heat waves in spring and fall and it's impacting school children across the country. Many schools are old and don't have air conditioning. The heat leads to concentration problems for both kids and adults.

Mosquitoes – if you live in Canada, you deal with these pesky bugs for a significant portion of the spring and summer. With warming global temperatures, it is likely that we will see a few new varieties of this irritating insect appear in the Canadian airspace, and unfortunately, this also means we have some new vector-borne diseases to deal with. Mosquitoes carry and help to spread a variety of infectious conditions to a variety of species – so keeping an “eye on the sky” and monitoring their movement, spread, and habitat preferences is important to public health and animal health. Luckily, Canada has a group of researchers that are working to monitor and study this very thing. Dr. Antoinette Ludwig, a veterinarian and epidemiologist with the National Microbiology Laboratory at the Public Health Agency of Canada, and Carleton University PhD candidate Marc Avramov, both study the diseases transmitted by mosquitoes and the risk they pose for both human and animal populations, as well as the impact of climate change on these disease patterns.  Links of Interest: Information about Dr. Antoinette Ludwig and her research Timo-CS project details Relationships between water quality and mosquito presence and abundance: A systematic review and meta-analysis Avramov, Marc & Thaivalappil, Abhinand & Ludwig, Antoinette & Miner, Lauren & Cullingham, Catherine & Waddell, Lisa & Lapen, David.

What does the body of evidence say on LASIK, the use of lasers to correct vision? Plus: many men on PreP are abandoning condoms as STIs are becoming more common, and Chris tells us if krill oil can cure arthritis of the knee. Also, Jonathan briefly imitates Alex Jones. A Block: LASIK (0:59) How lasers are used in medicine; LASIK and its cousins; how to choose; effectiveness, satisfaction, and side effects. B Block: HIV PrEP and STIs (28:18) How does pre-exposure prophylaxis against HIV works, and what is simultaneously happening with condom use (going down) and rates of STIs (going up). Also, what is Doxy-PEP? C Block: Krill Oil for Knee Osteoarthritis (44:45) An Australian trial of krill oil for arthritis of the knee came to the conclusion that… well, what do you think? * Theme music: “Fall of the Ocean Queen“ by Joseph Hackl * Assistant researcher: Aigul Zaripova   To contribute to The Body of Evidence, go to our Patreon page at: http://www.patreon.com/thebodyofevidence/.

It will be slowly expanded over the course of 2024 to include all qualifying seniors, children under the age of 18 and people with disabilities. Holland announced the rollout of the program, which is currently budgeted to cost $13 billion over the next five years The program is aimed at people with an annual household income under $90,000 who don't have access to private insurance. Coverage will include preventive, diagnostic, restorative and surgical services — including X-rays, fillings, root canal treatments and dentures, among others Once eligibility is expanded to all qualifying Canadian residents in 2025, it will be the government's largest social program. The insurance plan is a key pillar in the Liberal's supply-and-confidence deal with the New Democrats to secure the opposition party's support on key votes.   'I'm so broken': Grieving family speaks out after B.C. cancer patient awaiting treatment chooses MAID https://bc.ctvnews.ca/i-m-so-broken-grieving-family-speaks-out-after-b-c-cancer-patient-awaiting-treatment-chooses-maid-1.6675742 Kathleen Carmichael says B.C.'s health-care system let her family down. Her partner, Dan Quayle, opted for a medically assisted death It was a choice he made after waiting for chemotherapy and treatment that didn't come fast enough. The oncologist would come in and say, 'We're pretty backlogged right now so hang in there But Quayle ran out of time. The 52-year-old grandfather – described as jolly, big-hearted and playful – died on Nov. 24. Quayle was diagnosed with esophageal cancer months after first feeling ill. While he waited for treatment, his health declined, which led him to choose MAID The family's pain emerges as numbers reported on radiation therapy reveal that only 75 per cent of patients in B.C. are receiving it within the recommended 28-day benchmark — lower than the 77 per cent in May when the province started sending patients to the U.S. for radiation due to long waits in B.C. The province has hired 61 oncologists and 27 radiation therapists since April. The health minister says those waiting longer than the benchmarks for radiation are being prioritized. “Those numbers — the people waiting 28 days are going to fall — because there are fewer people now on the waitlist,” said Dix Tuesday.   Here's how much more it's expected to cost to feed a family of 4 in Canada next year https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/here-s-how-much-more-it-s-expected-to-cost-to-feed-a-family-of-4-in-canada-next-year-1.6675985 In 2022, a report estimated the overall food price increases would be between five to seven per cent — the latest data from Statistics Canada pegs the food inflation rate at 5.9 per cent. In the latest edition of the annual report, the authors believe the overall rate of inflation will be lower in 2024, falling to somewhere between 2.5 and 4.5 per cent. According to Charlebois, things are "much calmer now," which could result in more deals and potentially some price wars between the big grocers. "Margins are going to be everything," he said. "And because consumers don't have any money now, grocers will be fighting for our business." Over the next year, Charlebois believes grocery stores will be offering more incentives to consumers like loyalty programs and deals to entice people. One of the tactics used is selling items at a loss, which brings the customer through the grocer's doors, but then the store would increase the prices for other items, hoping the consumer will buy those as well, he explained.   One way to save money on groceries… no more cantaloupes   Death toll rises to five in cantaloupe salmonella outbreak, as cases almost double https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/death-toll-rises-to-five-in-cantaloupe-salmonella-outbreak-as-cases-almost-double-1.6678564 Five people have died in a salmonella outbreak linked to Malichita and Rudy brand cantaloupes sold in six provinces. The Public Health Agency of Canada says 129 people have been confirmed with salmonella linked to the outbreak, almost double the number at the last update on Dec. 1, when a single death had been recorded. There are also 17 cases in Ontario, 15 in British Columbia, and two each in Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador. The agency says 45 per cent of those who became ill were aged 65 and older while more than a third were children five and younger. people became sick between mid-October and mid-November, and 44 have been hospitalized People who are infected with salmonella bacteria can spread salmonella to other people several days to several weeks after they have become infected Widow takes Ontario police to court over declaration misconduct in her husband's death was 'not serious' https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/widow-takes-ontario-police-to-court-over-declaration-misconduct-in-her-husband-s-death-was-not-serious-1.6681891 A grieving widow is taking the Ontario Provincial Police to court as she challenges its decision to call the misconduct of an officer that contributed to her husband's death “not of a serious nature” – a decision that denied her access to a public hearing in the case. A CTV News investigation shows that the OPP has declared misconduct by its own officers not serious about 80 per cent of the time in the last five years, and sends identical paragraphs that don't explain its reasoning in cases from neglect of duty to unlawful use of force. Courtney D'Arthenay said she couldn't believe she received a boilerplate letter informing her that the OPP would resolve her complaint without a hearing after an officer accidentally struck and killed her husband Tyler Dorzyk while speeding near Barrie in 2020. B.C. doctor fired for refusing COVID-19 shot loses bid to get hospital privileges back https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/theresa-szezepaniak-bc-hospital-appeal-board-covid-vaccine-1.7046988 Dr. Theresa Szezepaniak was fired from Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops in 2021 The Hospital Appeal Board has found that Dr. Theresa Szezepaniak's refusal of the shot in 2021 amounted to neglect of her obligations as a hospitalist at Royal Inland Hospital, and the decision to take action on her privileges was appropriate. "The appellant [Szezepaniak] says that IH is required to respect her exercise of her Charter rights," an appeal board panel wrote in a Nov. 20 decision. "The implication is that in order to respect her decision IH must not take any steps that hold the appellant accountable for the consequences of that decision. Having the right to make a decision, and your right to do so acknowledged, or respected, is not the same as being held responsible for the consequences." in other words, the decision says, Interior Health didn't challenge Szezekpaniak's right to refuse the vaccine, but it did hold her accountable for the fact that choice left her unable to work under provincial law.

We bring you a comprehensive dive into the latest developments that are shaping the Canadian landscape.  First, we take you to the Halifax Health Summit, where the nation's provincial and territorial leaders came together to discuss pressing issues in healthcare, climate change, and the future of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). We'll explore the key takeaways and potential impacts on these critical aspects of Canadian life. Next, we unravel a financial mystery that's been causing waves in the country – Canada's health agency losing a staggering $150 million. What led to this colossal financial hiccup, and what does it mean for the nation's health infrastructure? We'll also examine the case of the Sustainable Development Technology of Canada, which has faced a substantial loss of funds due to a lack of oversight. How did this happen, and what lessons can be learned about responsible stewardship of public resources? Get ready as we come at you for another hour of edutainment!

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre says that Liberals have “deep ties” to China and that a public inquiry is needed to find out what exactly Prime Minister Justin Trudeau knew about Beijing's election interference in the 2019 and 2021 elections. Watch Poilievre's exclusive sit down interview with True North's Andrew Lawton. Plus, from two doses to three, to one every few months, the Canadian government has been fairly unrelenting in its quest to get everyone in the country vaccinated and boosted.

This week the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) announced its first ever nationwide strike. Pat Cullen, the RCN's General Secretary and Chief Executive, will lead them into industrial action which is expected to start in December. Born in Northern Ireland, Pat Cullen was inspired by her older sisters to train as a nurse during the Troubles. After roles at Northern Ireland's Department of Health, and Public Health Agency, Cullen joined the RCN's Northern Ireland branch in 2016. Three years later, she led the union's first-ever strike, seeking pay parity for Northern Irish nurses with those working elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Since 2021, Pat Cullen has been the interim leader of the RCN at national level. Drawing on her experiences in Northern Ireland, she's now campaigning for better wages and conditions for nurses across the UK. Timandra Harkness takes a look at Pat Cullen's life and career.

In July, the World Health Organization declared the virus a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” And in Canada, as of Aug. 3, there are almost 900 cases, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada.

To get answers, we asked The Globe and Mail's health reporter, Wency Leung, who's been following the outbreak closely. She walks us through what we know so far – including the severity of the disease, who it's affecting, and the availability of vaccines today.

Also, we ask where Sweden's NATO application stands ahead of the summit in Madrid; find out how the Public Health Agency views the risk of monkeypox; and learn about how temperatures can vary within the same city.
