The guys wrap the hour up with Confirm or Deny.

What do recent shifts in public health policy reveal about how care is delivered, and who can access it? After a woman was killed outside a Toronto community health centre in 2023, the province reviewed supervised consumption sites, introduced a new model, and this month cut public funding, raising questions about safety and access. At the same time, mobile health clinics are appearing outside Toronto libraries, aiming to connect more people with primary care. Journalist Adam Zivo, joining from Odessa, Ukraine, Montreal-based writer Emma Paling, and Martin McIntosh of the Regional HIV/AIDS Connection examine what these changes signal. Then, Dr. Andrew Boozary and Aly Velji consider whether mobile care can fill gaps or create new ones.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The way you structured a crisis response. You made all of those decisions. Some of them deliberately. Most of them by instinct, habit, or convention. And the difference between those two things, between deliberate design and accidental design, is the difference between a campaign that moves people and one that wonders why nobody moved. This episode was recorded live on stage at the IABC World Conference in Toronto on June 14th, 2026, in front of an audience of communications professionals from around the world. Listen For4:20 What Choice Architecture Means5:52 The Default Effect6:50 Printer Defaults Example8:15 Removing Friction from Sign-Ups9:31 The EAST Framework Guest: Ann-Marie BlakeWebsite | True Website | LinkedInDougSubstack | Website | LinkedIn Are you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

The Yankees are winning games like nothing can touch them, and that's exactly the problem: everything is touching them. Aaron Judge is out with a stress fracture on his first rib, Giancarlo Stanton is back on the injured list with more imaging ahead, and key names like Trent Grisham, Max Fried, and Clark Schmidt are also sidelined. Yet the New York Yankees still sit on top of the American League. So what's real, what's luck, and what's going to break when the calendar flips to August?I dig into the stretch that includes a strong series in Toronto and the bigger reasons the team keeps stacking wins. I talk lineup sparks from Ben Rice, the steady impact of Paul Goldschmidt, and why Cody Bellinger's all-around game keeps showing up when the Yankees need it. I also get into the “edge” factor, why a player like Caballero can change the feel of a team, and why the defense looks different when the right guys are playing the right spots.Then I hit the uncomfortable truth: the bullpen is still a major concern, and the trade deadline has to be about building an October-proof roster, not just surviving June. I also put the hot start in context, because the American League has been shockingly weak, and that changes how we judge the standings. Finally, I look ahead at the schedule and the must-fix positions, from catcher production to third base stability, so the season doesn't turn into a “nice story” instead of a real run.If you're following Yankees baseball for more than highlights, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a quick review so more fans can find the show.Send fan mailJersey Guy Sports is available on all podcasting platforms. Listen on SpotifyListen on Apple Podcasts Listen on YouTubeListen on PocketCastsListen on iHeart RadioListen on Amazon MusicListen on TuneIn and AlexaListen on other podcasting platforms hereSocials Facebook, JGS Twitter, Threads, Youtub...

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of World Cup chat. After year of anticipation, excitement, and planning, with more than a few speedbumps and frustrations along the way, the 2026 World Cup is underway and the summer feast of football is in full flow. Five days in and we've had some fantastic matches, some great goals, a couple of surprises, and some great storylines. We delve into some of the main talking points so far with particular emphasis on Canada's 1-1 draw with Bosnia, their first ever World Cup point, and Scotland's 1-0 win over Haiti, their first World Cup win in 36 years. AFTN had the pleasure of being at both matches and we share some of our thoughts on the games and our experiences at the stadiums in Toronto and Boston. We also bring you some postgame audio from the Canada game as I catch up with former Whitecap Ali Ahmed to chat about getting his World Cup moment and coming back to play in Vancouver, plus we hear from Ismael Kone, Luc de Fougerolles, Max Crepeau, Joel Waterman, and Alistair Johnston about the game and what's next.

The Carolina Hurricanes are Stanley Cup champions for the first time in 20 years, and host Brenden Escott breaks down how they finished the job against Vegas and what this championship means for a franchise that has spent years building toward this moment. Brendan also discusses Jordan Staal's remarkable playoff run that earned him the Conn Smythe Trophy, while also examining the cases for other standout performers like Logan Stankoven and former Oilers forward Taylor Hall. Plus, what does this championship mean for Rod Brind'Amour's future behind the bench, and where do the Golden Knights go from here after falling short? We also look at what Carolina's success says about team building in today's NHL. In a copycat league, have the Hurricanes created a blueprint other organizations will try to follow, and which teams around the league might be on a similar trajectory? With the Stanley Cup Final now complete, attention shifts to a busy offseason. We discuss the NHL's investigation into Mike Babcock's tenure in Columbus, whether more information could emerge as the process unfolds and the latest coaching speculation surrounding Bruce Cassidy's future and potential opportunities in Edmonton or Toronto. And closer to home, we examine the growing chatter surrounding Darnell Nurse and whether there's any substance behind the trade rumors. Plus, we wrap up with the biggest under-the-radar storyline NHL fans should be watching as the offseason officially gets underway.

Episode 194 Christine Prince, Claire Samson, and Gracelyn Greenidge  The shocking murders of three women in Toronto, Canada spanned the years 1982 to 1997.  The cases were so dissimilar, no one would ever have connected them.  But science did – DNA from all three cases linked them to the same offender.  Toronto Police Services cold case investigators could not make sense of the connection, as there was no discernable pattern or commonality.  It took IGG to provide the answer they were seeking – the name of the man who took the lives of three women, a predator who left behind more questions than answers.

On a pair of folding lawn chairs on his front porch in Toronto's Roncesvalles neighborhood, I sat down with my friend Michael Bungay Stanier. Michael's mind is like a box that you open and a whole bunch of springs suddenly fly out in all directions. Here's a bit of his biography to give you a taste of this guy: "I've never quite fit the traditional mold, and honestly, I think that's been the advantage that has shaped my life. Smart and successful don't have to look one way. But making space for that – for different voices, different ambitions, different ways of moving through the world – takes real work. That's my work. That's the mark I want to make on the world: helping people figure out what matters most to them and how to get more of that." Should we stop there? No, I'll keep going.    Michael is an Australian who went to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. There, he met a beautiful Canadian woman who he fell in love with and followed back to Canada. He founded a company called Box of Crayons which teaches 10-minute coaching strategies so busy managers can build stronger teams. Most recently, he also founded MBS Works, a digital platform featuring all his books, courses, keynotes, and tools focused on individuals who want to positively change their lives. He has won numerous awards for Coach of the Year and wrote a book called 'The Coaching Habit' which turned into a huge phenomenon with (in only 3+ years) over 700,000 copies sold and over 2000 Amazon reviews. (Sidenote: The book was published by Jesse Finkelstein of Page Two Publishing, our guest in Chapter 23) Michael is also the author of 'Do More Great Work,' 'How to Begin', 'How to Work with (Almost) Anyone', and 'The Advice Trap.' I love Michael Bungay Stanier. He's one of the most fascinating minds in my life, and I feel so grateful and honored to call him a friend. I hope you fall in love with him too. In this chapter, we talk about simplifying complex things, finding curiosity, and of course, his three most formative books.   So pull up a lawn chair!   And let's flip the page back to Chapter 48 now....

Then, in his early fifties, he had a wake-up call. It sent him to look under a rock he'd never lifted, where he found “an absolute cavern of issues.” The result is his sixth book, The Future is Grey: The Untapped Value of Age in the Workforce. Dan lays out the coming “bell to bulb” demographic inversion and the risks for organizations ignoring it. For individuals, he reframes the whole arc of a working life, from the language of generations (which he rejects as an ageist cognitive bias) to three universal career eras: Rivers, Rocks, and Rubies. That demographic inversion means experience will become more scarce and valuable. The through-line is don’t retire,  rewire instead. He shares stories of people who kept working or returned to work in a different way, which brings his concept of the “experience dividend” to life. ________________________ Bio Dan Pontefract is a renowned leadership and culture strategist, author, and keynote speaker with over two decades of experience in senior executive roles at companies such as SAP, TELUS, and Business Objects. Since then, he has worked with organizations globally, including Salesforce, Amgen, State of Tennessee, Nestlé, Canada Post, Autodesk, BMO, Government of Canada, Manulife, Nutrien, UBC, McGill University, Virgin Media O2, City of Toronto, among others. Dan has firsthand experience in turning leaders and corporate cultures into a competitive advantage. In addition to The Future of Work Is Grey, Dan has written five other books: WORK-LIFE BLOOM, LEAD. CARE. WIN., OPEN TO THINK, THE PURPOSE EFFECT, and FLAT ARMY garnering multiple awards including the Thinkers50 Top New Management Book and the Axiom Business Book Awards Gold Medal. Dan has also written for Forbes, Harvard Business Review, Leader to Leader, The Globe and Mail, Inc., among other outlets. Dan is a renowned keynote speaker who has presented at four TED events and delivered over 600 keynotes. He is an adjunct professor at the University of Victoria and has received over 25 personal awards. Dan’s career is interwoven with corporate and academic experience, coupled with an MBA, B.Ed, and multiple distinctions. Notably, Dan is listed on the Thinkers50 Radar, HR Weekly’s 100 Most Influential People in HR, PeopleHum’s Top 200 Thought Leaders to Follow, and Inc.

What happens when you have a good job, mentors you trust, and a clear path forward — and you walk away anyway?Shlomo Ashkanazy (Co-Director, WashU JLIC) and Ami Yunger (COO, Mizrachi Canada) both built careers in the Israeli tech world before pressing pause to go on shlichut in North America. Neither choice was obvious. Neither was painless. And neither of them regrets it — mostly.In this conversation, they unpack the real calculus behind leaving stability for something harder to define. From their shared roots at Yeshivat HaKotel and OurCrowd, to navigating anti-Semitism on a college campus and in Toronto's streets, to Shlomo's gut-wrenching decision on Simchat Torah 2023 about whether to board a plane back to Israel — this episode doesn't stay on the surface.What we talk about:Why both of them credit OurCrowd — and its mission-driven culture — as the bridge between tech and shlichutThe nonlinear career path: real talk about professional anxiety, histadlus, and bitachonAmi on being COO of a Jewish nonprofit and why "COO" isn't just a fancy title for a shaliachShlomo on starting WashU JLIC from scratch — and what happened when 50 students showed up to his empty house on October 9th, 2023The anti-Semitism reality in Canada: bullets through shul windows, hiding event locations until 10 minutes before showtime, and how you maintain Zionist pride when it's being weaponized against youShlomo's still-unresolved guilt about not getting on a plane after October 7thThe 40-year test: how do you make a decision when the downside isn't catastrophic, but the stakes feel enormous?Guests:Shlomo Ashkanazy is Co-Director of JLIC at Washington University in St. Louis, which he and his wife founded as the inaugural couple. Ami Yunger is COO of Mizrachi Canada, where he supports the organization's growth across programming, operations, and community.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Laura breaks down why a lead tracker is a non-negotiable tool for interior designers who want more consistent revenue and a calmer, more predictable pipeline. A lead tracker gives you visibility and control, so you stop relying on your inbox, DMs, and memory to manage inquiries. It also gives you grace, because when you can see the full timeline of a lead, you stop taking silence personally and start responding like a CEO with a clear follow-up system.Laura explains exactly what to include on your tracker, from lead basics and lead source to project scope, budget range, and pipeline stage. The real game-changer is tracking key dates at every touchpoint: when you responded, when you sent the welcome guide, when discovery was scheduled and completed, when the proposal and contract were sent, when follow-ups happened (and how), and when the contract and deposit were received. Those dates reveal where leads ghost or drop off, help you calculate your standard time-to-close, and show you which stage needs refinement.You will also learn when to send the “magic email” for drifting leads. It is a kind but firm message that creates a clear decision point, removes pressure, and protects your calendar by giving the client two paths forward: move ahead by a specific date, or pause and reconnect later. With a date-based lead tracker, you gain powerful metrics like conversion rates by stage, response time, sales cycle length, follow-up effectiveness, drop-off points, pipeline value, and lost-lead reasons, all of which help you nurture and finesse your process so closing clients becomes more predictable.In just one focused hour, we'll dive into whatever you need most—pricing strategies, client management, attracting high-end clients or building repeat business. You'll get clarity, strategy, and expert advice based on my 27+ years of running a thriving, seven-figure design firm.This is your chance to get real answers to the questions you've been dying to ask—from someone who's actually been there.Book your session as you need it—no strings attached.Be sure to follow along on Instagram @thebusinessofbeautifulspaces + @thorntondesign to stay up to date on what we're talking about next week.

Ed's new project, Critical Mass, starts with a deceptively simple question: if Canada decides it wants more nuclear power, can it actually deliver it? The answer turns out to be complicated.As part of the project, we're hosting four live town halls across the country. The first was recorded at Toronto Climate Week on June 5, featuring Todd Smith (former Ontario Minister of Energy, now VP at Candu Energy) and Brendan Frank (VP of Policy at Clean Prosperity). Together they work through the project's core tensions - cost, democratic legitimacy, and standardization - with the kind of honest talk you've come to expect from EvC.Thank you to Geoff Burt and The Consecon Foundation for helping make the evening possible. Send us a text (if you'd like a response, please include your email)Follow us on:LinkedInBlueskyX/TwitterInstagramEnergy vs Climate relies on the support of our generous listenersDonate to keep Energy vs Climate goingProduced by Bespoke Podcasts

Tim Schneider shares his take of the day.

Urinary incontinence affects about a third of adult women in Canada, yet many never receive a diagnosis or treatment. On this episode, Dr. Blair Bigham and Dr. Mojola Omole discuss the CMAJ review “Diagnosis and management of urinary incontinence in females,” which outlines how physicians can identify common forms of incontinence and begin management in primary care.The episode opens with Sharon Roman, who shares her experience living with bladder dysfunction related to multiple sclerosis. Her story highlights the embarrassment, health consequences and barriers to care that can come with urinary incontinence, as well as the frustration of being told to simply keep living with symptoms that profoundly affect quality of life.Dr. Louise-Helene Gagnon, an author of the review, a urogynecologist at Sunnybrook Hospital and assistant professor at the University of Toronto, explains the distinction between stress urinary incontinence and urge incontinence. She reviews common risk factors, including childbirth, menopause and pelvic floor injury, and walks through treatment options including pelvic floor physiotherapy, pessaries, mirabegron, vaginal estrogen and specialist referral.For physicians, the central message is simple: patients may not raise urinary incontinence on their own. Asking about it directly can open the door to practical treatments that reduce isolation, embarrassment and daily disruption.For more information from our sponsor, go to md.ca/lifeplanComments or questions?

Meet Adam Ferreira, the Brand and Creative Project Manager at the Vancouver Whitecaps FC.Born and raised in Mumbai, Adam started out chasing two dreams - playing football and dancing professionally.

Sho Alli and Nick Ashbourne break down the Blue Jays' 8-3 loss vs. the Yankees to wrap up a series loss in Toronto. They take your calls and texts, and discuss some big picture items for the team; are injuries still a valid excuse for the lack of consistent run production? Has the lack of offence hurt an overworked bullpen? What holes does this team need filled, and are there too many of them to plug in 2026? How important is the coming road trip for this team's direction this season? Plus, they get into some smaller items from this game, including not walking Ben Rice in the ninth inning, the play of Jeff Hoffman, whether or not he balked, and John Schneider's subsequent ejection from the ballgame.   The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
