Podcast appearances and mentions of theresa tam

Stigma surrounding substance use affects how we talk to individuals, the policies we develop, and how we provide care. In this episode, Dr. Theresa Tam, Chief Public Health Officer of Canada, and Anne Tennier, President and CEO of CCOHS, discuss ways we can reduce stigma and support workers in the trades who are struggling.

Dec. 21, 2023 - The money is coming out of the federal government's Housing Accelerator Fund and the government says it should help Toronto build around 12,000 new units over three years. Power & Politics speaks to Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow. Plus, we speak to Canada's Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam about the spike in respiratory viruses across the country.

This week on Open Sources Guelph things get serious. Well, they're pretty serious every week, but it's not every week that we're talking about a foreign government allegedly killing a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil. And to think we were going to start this week with talk of grocery prices... So there's that, plus we'll talk about the seasonal return of COVID-19 and in local news, we will turn to one of our city councillors about some of the latest doings at 1 Carden Street. This Thursday, September 21, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Modi Operandi. It wasn't the bombshell we were expecting as the fall session of Parliament opened. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that the June killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh Khalistani separatist in Surrey, was connected to the Indian government. The announcement helped explain the seemingly frosty relations between Trudeau and Narendra Modi a couple of weeks ago at the G20. But how will this impact Indo-Canada relations, and the India's broader role in world affairs? Face/Cough. It's cold and flu season again, and you should probably add RSV and COVID-19 to that cadre. It's probably safe to say that COVID-19 never left us, but now we're feeling it's embrace again, especially after Dr. Theresa Tam did a media conference while wearing a mask. As we start fall, the number of COVID cases is definitely going up, the last boosters are on the wain, and nobody's wearing a mask anymore. Are we ready for the next wave? Eastbound and Downer. Last week at Guelph City Council, they had a big meeting about housing and the gaps in social services. The desperation of the housing situation in Guelph is apparent, but the solutions seem a lot harder to find. We're going talk about that this week with Councillor Cathy Downer, who's also going to talk to us about the fights to protect heritage, next week's debate about parking minimums downtown, and, just in time for Homecoming, we will cover some town and gown matters too. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

John gives us an update on his recent trip to British Columbia to meet with Justice Centre supporters there. Then we give a shout-out to Dr. Kulvinder Kaur Gill; the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario has dropped their disciplinary proceedings against her, a victory for medical freedom. This leads to a discussion about Canada's Chief Public Health Officer (CPHO) Theresa Tam and her recent press conference urging more masking and more vaccinations.Justice Centre, Sep 12, 2023: British Columbia Public Health Officer preferred some faith groups over othersJustice Centre Weekly: On challenging BC church gathering restrictions, with Marty Moore - S01E23True North, Sep 15, 2023: Medical college drops case against doctor who spoke out against lockdownsThe National Post, Nov 3, 2023: Vaccine-doubting doctor ordered to pay $1M in legal costs after her libel suit quashedThe Canadian Press via The National Post, Sep 13, 2023: Theresa Tam recommends masks and updated COVID vaccines this fallChris Selley in The National Post, Sep 15, 2023: Public health officers are still oblivious to their self-destructed COVID credibilityMichelle Rempel Garner's Substack, Sep 14, 2023: The Public Health Agency of Canada has a trust deficit, and it could be deadly.The Brownstone Institute, Sep 14, 2023: The Religion of Masking Steve Kirsch Newsletter, Sep 16, 2023: Even more evidence that nobody should wear a face maskCTV News, Apr 14, 2021: Canada's vaccine hoarding will prolong the pandemic globally, experts sayGlobal News, Dec 9, 2022: With millions of COVID-19 vaccine doses wasted, has Canada kept its donation promises?The Epoch Times, Sep 7, 2023: Pfizer, J&J Pressured South Africa Into Shielding Companies From COVID Vaccine Injury Claims: DocumentsCounter Signal, Sep 15, 2023: National Citizens' Inquiry calls for judicial investigation into Health Canada, potential criminal liabilityNational Citizens Inquiry, Sep 14, 2023 (PDF): In the Public Interest: An Interim Report on the Covid-19 Vaccine Authorization ProcessBlacklock's Reporter, Sep 12, 2023: Vaccine “Events” UnreportedTheme Music "Carpay Diem" by Dave StevensSupport the show

Noting that Canada's chief health officer Theresa Tam is urging Canadians to mask up again as she does so herself and CBC reporters are gushing with pride over it, can more COVID mandates be far behind? David talks about how every video played during the trial has shown how both Lich and Barber never failed to tell protesters to eschew violence, treat Ottawa residents with respect and obey the police.

A report prepared for Dr. Theresa Tam identifies “climate change” and “capitalism,” and “colonization” as part of a “public health emergency” in need of “collective social and political action.” True North's Andrew Lawton points out the eerily similar language being used to talk about other political issues as were used to discuss Covid. Climate Depot's Marc Morano joins the show to warn of the impending climate lockdown. Also, a multimillion dollar gold heist at Pearson Airport. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the extremely cringey video, Tam calls for children to wear masks and be vaccinated and boosted or risk being on Santa's naughty list. The propaganda knows no bounds as millions wake up to the eugenics experiment that is the covid plandemic hoax and more and more stories come out of small children dying from the injections.

CANADA'S INFLATION AT 6.9%, BUT FOOD PRICES CONTINUE RISING Libby Znaimer is joined by Benjamin Tal, Chief Economist for CIBC as well as Pau Pujolas, Associate Professor of Economics at McMaster University and Julia Wendling, economist with Rosenberg Research. According to Statistics Canada, the rate of inflation declined to 6.9 per cent during the month of September. It was 7 per cent in August. At the same time, our food prices went up 11.4 per cent compared to one year ago. Our economists weigh in on the latest and what this means for you. JAGMEET SINGH ON NDP MOTION ADDRESSING "GREEDFLATION" Libby Znaimer is joined by Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NDP. Since Monday Loblaw Companies' move to freeze prices on some lower end no name products has been front and centre. The announcement by the company's billionaire chairman Galen Weston just reignited the debate about whether the large grocers are using inflation as  a cover for price gouging. The concept is called greedflation and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has been spearheading the discussion on this. DR. THERESA TAM'S FORECAST OF A FALL RESURGENCE OF COVID-19 Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Prabhat Jha, Epidemiologist and faculty member at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health. We've been hearing some dire warnings about a potential fall resurgence of COVID-19. The latest is from Canada's Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam who says  the Public Health Agency of Canada is looking carefully at the evolution of Omicron subvariants and preparing for a "worst case scenario". There have been some reports that the latest subvariants  have the ability to evade the vaccines and may be even more contagious. Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!

First, Ben and Andrew hit the streets of Toronto to ask citizens about disinformation vs. misinformation, as well as asking, "Does anyone know who Theresa Tam is?" Surprisingly, nearly zero responders asked at random at Toronto's busiest intersection (Yonge-Dundas) were able to identify the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada by name. Back in the studio, Bankas speaks on his famed impressions of Tam, Premier Doug Ford and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. Finally, Bankas interviews Rebel News reporter David 'The Menzoid' Menzies, who recently dressed up as the aforementioned teacher to showcase the hypocrisy of the story he is covering. Get an extended version of both the show and the on-the-street content only on RebelNews+.

Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies, and gentlemen — and the rest of you — in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite Rebels. I'm your host, David Menzies. Good grief, not again! The war on farmers continues. This time it is the U.S. government going up against an Amish farmer in Pennsylvania… for reasons that defy logic. Our New York-based reporter Jeremy Loffredo has all the egregious details. And while other countries have suspended the COVID-19 injection program for youths, not so here in the Great White North. Oh no, Dr. Theresa Tam is all-in when it comes to getting kids jabbed for the coronavirus. So how is it that the COVID-19 science is somehow different in Canada compared to other nations? Tamara Ugolini shall try to make sense of it all. And letters; we get your letters; we get your letters every minute of every day. And I'll share some of your letters about a senior citizen who was deprived of life-sustaining medicine by the Canada Border Services Agency and Peel Police on duty at Toronto's Pearson International Airport. Her crime? Not sharing her personal medical information. And had it not been for the intervention of paramedics, this senior citizen might've endured a heart attack thanks to the stress she endured. Bottom line: these goons have proven how yet again Pearson is truly the worst airport in the world… Those are your Rebels, now let's round ‘em up…

With the bungled response at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and given the Trudeau government treating it as incredibly severe, why is Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam getting a raise instead of a notice of termination? GUEST: Selene Galas

Dom a reçu une enveloppe brune...

Are you surprised that the man Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland trust to make decisions about inflation and interests rates is “Tiff Macklem”? Who's he? Exactly. No-one elected him. He's like Theresa Tam — you didn't vote him in and you can't vote him out. GUEST: Climate Depot's Marc Morano on Sen. Joe Manchin blocking Biden's push for climate taxes.

As the pandemic winds down, another public health emergency rages — and it is not getting as much attention. We're speaking, of course, about the opioid crisis. Theresa Tam, Canada's chief medical officer of health, recently tweeted that the latest data shows that in 2021, 7,560 people died of opioid-related overdose. On average, 21 people died and 17 were hospitalized every day.Tara's guest on the program today penned an opinion piece in the Vancouver Sun in 2020 warning that our pandemic response could escalate the crisis. Sadly, he has been proven right. He is a former criminal justice advisor to Prime Minister Stephen Harper who underwent a transformation in his views, becoming a passionate advocate for the decriminalization of drugs, for a safe supply, and above all, for more empathy and compassion for Canadians struggling with addiction. Benjamin Perrin is a professor at the University of British Columbia's law school. He's also the author of Overdose: Heartbreak and Hope in Canada's Opioid Crisis. 

In January 2021, Roman Baber—then a rookie Progressive Conservative MPP—was booted from caucus by Doug Ford after opposing his government's COVID-19 vaccine mandates and provincial lockdowns. Fast-forward just over a year, and Baber, who continued to sit as an independent in Ontario's legislature after that ejection, announced he would seek the leadership of the federal Conservative party. He's something of a maverick candidate. He staunchly opposes vaccine mandates, supports the trucker convoy and is one of the few Conservative politicians speaking out against Canada's strict supply management of dairy products. If elected party leader—and ultimately prime minister—he would scrap the carbon tax; fire the chief public health officer, Theresa Tam; and be the first Jewish prime minister in the country's history. In this wide-reaching interview, Baber discusses his concerns over Canada's economy, his immigrant journey moving from the former Soviet Union to Israel before settling in Canada, and whether he's afraid of suffering the same kind of antisemitism that brought down Green leader Annamie Paul.

Support Ben on Patreon at Patreon.com/benbankas This week Ben talks about Elon trying to take over twitter, why the left hates free speech or at least pretends to, what is going on in China and how lack of free speech can make society totalitarian, how kissing can spread cavities and a bonus Theresa Tam impression at the end. This weeks bonus pod on Patreon talks about Ben getting cancelled from an open mic in Toronto and other hilariousness.

On this April 13th edition of The Drive Podcast: Canada's top doctor Theresa Tam has said that we are now in a sixth wave of COVID-19.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Premier Doug Ford's government has laid out a four-year plan to address Ontario's housing crisis, including a slate of changes to municipal planning rules. But the legislation tabled by Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Steve Clark on Wednesday failed to implement many of the 55 recommendation his own Housing Affordability Task Force released in February. Clark conceded that “perhaps the recommendations were a bit too bold for some communities,” forcing the Progressive Conservatives, who face voters in the June 2 election, to be more collaborative.

Hello and thanks for joining. It's been a while since I have posted an episode. The reason for this episode is to share my observations from attending a scientific debate and soaking in the vibe of the peaceful protests in Ottawa Canada this past weekend. I am breaking a personal vow of silence to post this episode as I feel now is time for all Canadians to break their silence if they also oppose the mandates, vaccine passports, and divisive politics. I also discuss the need for ecopsychology as a theoretical framework to address the individual and cultural healing Canadians and Canada are in need of. I step into the role of cultural ethnographer and provide context for the Instagram lives I posted as well as share my observatory notes from the weekend. I cover the size of the protest, my interactions with locals, what I did, how the protestors were blocked in, and what the police presence was like. I share stories from the scientific debate turned scientific conference as Dr. Theresa Tam did not show up. Dr. Paul Alexander (Ph.D. - Clinical Epidemiology), Dr. Roger Hodkinson (MD), and Dr. Byram Bridle (Ph.D. - Viral Immunologist) took to the microphone while alternative press captured the two-hour presentation with questions and answer period afterward. The episode finishes with a shift to the question as to what is next as democracy and body sovereignty in Canada hang in the balance. Please share this episode far and wide.

COVID-19 infections related to the Omicron variant have peaked in Canada, according to Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada's chief public health officer. But hospitalizations and ICU admissions remain high across the country. Meanwhile, many Canadians are asking how much longer pandemic restrictions will last.

Dr. Peter Juni, science advisor for the Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table, discusses the current state of the pandemic; Dr. Stephen Flindall, an Ontario-based emergency department physician, weighs in on the effect loosening restrictions could have on hospitals; and Esyllt Jones, an infectious disease historian and professor at the University of Manitoba, on what past pandemics can tell us about where we go next.

In this episode, I talk about how Trudeau and Theresa Tam seem to be ignoring what is happening and now have their sites on our children to vaccinate pretty much anything that breathes. See what Trudeau wants to push the vaccine even harder despite what the world is saying. Also, something very disturbing is being seen that is pointing to compromised immune systems. 

In a virtual news conference, Dr. Supriya Sharma, chief medical adviser with Health Canada, confirms the department's regulatory approval of Paxlovid, Pfizer's COVID-19 oral antiviral.

The government is changing what it means to be “fully-vaccinated.” Two shots may not be enough as Canada's top public health “expert” Dr. Theresa Tam says the general population will need another vaccine shot. Tam's latest ruling comes just three days after she said boosters would not be required for Canadians. Nobody is surprised by the government's moving goal-posts anymore. Whether it's vaccine passports or Canada's early response to the virus, Canadians have been accustomed to non-sensical and contradictory rules. True North's Candice Malcolm says it's no wonder Canadians are hesitant when the lockdown authoritarians constantly tell us to “trust the science.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Canadians are receiving more inconsistent and contradictory advice courtesy of the country's rule by “experts.” Toronto's chief health advisor wants another lockdown, the Ontario government says we shouldn't travel even within the province, and Dr. Theresa Tam says Thanksgiving dinners should be virtual, all the while the federal government is funding an ad campaign telling people to bring grandma on a Niagara Falls vacation.

We try to find answers from the Federal Government. Could you handle three more years of COVID-19? Chief Federal Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam made some comments that won't please anyone, about how COVID-19 could be our reality for the next 3 years.  BC's greatest leaders A new poll has some ideas, but who would your vote be for? ___________ NAVIGATE THE PODCAST: Chapter 1    Searching for answers in Strathcona Following an insane conversation with city Councillor Pete Fry yesterday in regards to the situation in Strathcona we found it important to revisit the story.

After a spirited discussion about a certain columnist's criticisms of Theresa Tam, Elaine (@heylaineys) sticks around to discuss Mikhaila Peterson. For those who aren't aware, Mikhaila is Dr. Jordan Peterson's daughter. She also only eats meat for some reason? I'm sure there's a reason, and a product. Why bother doing anything if it doesn't make you money right? Anyways, Mikhaila has some very well-formed thoughts about oppressive COVID-19 quarantine measures and the horrible effect they are having on the economy. She shares these ideas from the inside a very large and comfortable vehicle while behind a mask, but she is definitely up for the economy to be opened up. Those words definitely mean something coming from someone who doesn't actually have to work for a living.  A link to the Mikhaila Peterson vid: https://twitter.com/jordanbpeterson/status/1250828040738914305

The boys are back and they have a friend with them to laugh at the worst opinions in the country. Elaine (@heylaineys) from @format_guardian and @sportsaregay joins Big Shiny Takes to read a column by Licia Corbella that accuses Canada's top health official of being a puppet of the People's Republic of China. What proof does she have? Well for one Theresa Tam hasn't spent every minute of every press conference denouncing China. Also Jason Kenney said Tam was bad so it has to be true. Here is the column in question. Please read at your own discretion: https://calgaryherald.com/opinion/corbella-criticism-of-dr-tam-by-premier-kenney-good-medicine/As Tim Heidecker once said in The People vs. Tim Heidecker, "You have to consider the China Connection". https://www.reddit.com/r/TimAndEric/comments/8beypc/rosetti_the_rat_refused_to_investigate_the_china/GOOD TAKE: Davide Mastracci - "Don't blame China for your government's failure to contain COVID-19: https://readpassage.com/dont-blame-china-for-your-governments-failure-to-contain-covid-19/

We haven't seen much of the political drama we're used to seeing since the pandemic changed the way we live. Today the Conservative Party is under fire for comments made from Conservative MP Derek Sloan, calling for the firing of Theresa Tam.  We also chat about the state of Seniors in Canada. We have Stephen Smart - Western Canada General Manager for Hill and Knowlton Strategies. Former Legislative Bureau Chief for CBC Former Press Secretary to the Premier of B.C. And, Sandy Garossino - Former Crown prosecutor and Columnist with the National Observer

These are complicated and troubling times. So why not laugh at what passes for a column in a Canadian newspaper with us? This episode we pull apart a column from an old favourite - Jonathan Kay. Jon seems to think that Theresa Tam has really dropped the ball in the ongoing fight to slow the spread of COVID-19 in Canada. He also (bravely) takes a wild swing at blaming PC culture for Canada's unwillingness to impose stricter measures earlier on in this crisis.These times truly are bringing the best out of our country's columnists. We'll be here to laugh at all the stupid things that are said by people paid to write down their opinions. For your listening pleasure please listen to an episode of (the on hiatus) Wrongspeak Podcast where Jon interviews his mom and they talk about how cool they are:https://player.fm/series/wrongspeak/ep-17-the-family-business-with-barbara-kayJon Kay resigns from the Walrus (2017)https://www.canadalandshow.com/jonathan-kay-resigns-walrus/Follow Big Shiny Takes on Twitter @BigShinyTakes

Guest: Sandy Garrosino, Columnist with the National Observer Chapter 3 Flu Update Canada's chief public health officer says an early spike in a strain of influenza B this flu season has sent more children to hospital.  Doctor Theresa Tam says influenza B doesn't usually peak until February or later, but the strain is circulating across the country, along with a strain of influenza A, which typically targets the elderly. She says the double dose of both influenza A and B strains has not been seen in Canada since 2015. Guest: Gianni Del Negro, Pharmacist with London Drugs Chapter 4 Wally Oppal on Money Laundering We're trying to get answers on why there are no consequences to date on the Money Laundering file. One of the people who may have answers is former BC Attorney General Wally Oppal. Guest: Wally Oppal, Former BC Attorney General Chapter 5 Even more confusion over BC's Distracted Driving Laws Where do you keep your phone when you drive?  For real, where is it?  That's where the plug in is, and so it sits on my centre console.  Apparently that's a no no given what has been happening with folks being ticketed for having their phones within reach.  Kyla Lee joins us on the line on yet another OVERTURNED ticket for having a cell phone in a cup holder.
