The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Ontario hospitals will be able to temporarily enroll elderly patients in long-term care homes they did not choose within a 70-kilometre radius from their preferred facility in Southern Ontario – and a 150-kilometre radius in Northern Ontario – while charging those who refuse to leave a $400-a-day fee. The new details come from a government statement, released on Wednesday, summarizing just-filed regulations meant to give force to the government's new health care legislation, known as Bill 7. The province says the legislation, fast-tracked through the legislature last month, is needed to free up hospital beds and address the overcrowding in its buckling health care system.

“We are all worthy of wealth, we are worthy of abundance, that includes you, that includes me, that includes everyone,” says Vanessa Bowen, Founder of Mint Worthy in the ninth episode of A Wealth of Women's Stories. Bowen is not your average money coach, and Mint Worthy is not just another personal finance coaching platform. She says there is more to money than just the numbers. “I really wanted to create lasting financial change for my clients,” says Bowen. “I didn't want to just put a Band-Aid on it and say, ‘Here's your budget, here's your savings and investment plan, go run with it'. I wanted to make sure we got to the root of what created the financial life that they're living in today.” As a Chartered Professional Accountant, Vanessa spent almost a decade in the accounting industry helping corporations in North America make sense of their numbers. She made the leap from corporate number crunching to personal finance for two reasons: One - she wasn't built for a career of cubicles and calculators and, two - she knows first-hand how financial independence can change a woman's life. She joins host Manjit Minhas to share her energetic and relatable approach to financial literacy and inspire women to live life on their own financial terms. Bowen has been featured as a money expert on CBC, Global news, Breakfast Television and the Toronto Star. Topics they cover include: 0:00: Vanessa's Story: “Entrepreneurship is the biggest self development course that you can take in your life.” 10:15: From CPA to holistic money coach: “I really wanted to create lasting financial change for my clients.” 16:37: A money mindset: “How we relate to money is truly a reflection of how we relate to ourselves” 21:35: Money + women: “I wanted to be the voice for other women who had been there.” 30:40: The pandemic: “There was definitely a huge financial shift of awareness.” 39:40: Rethinking finances: “It's about starting right where you are.” Presented by IG Wealth Management Learn more at ig.ca/women The views, information and opinions expressed are those of the featured guests, and not necessarily those of IG Wealth Management

The Conservative leadership race will be finally coming to a close on Saturday when the winner will be announced in Ottawa.The safe bet is that Pierre Poilievre will win — perhaps even on the first ballot. But what will the results mean not only for the consensus front runner, but for Jean Charest, Leslyn Lewis, Roman Baber and Scott Aitchison?Does it matter if Poilievre wins on the first ballot? What's next for Charest should he lose? What will the results mean for Lewis and the social conservative wing of the party? And did Baber and Aitchison succeed in what they set out to do by launching their long-shot candidacies?To answer these questions and lots more, I'm joined this week by Tim Powers of Summa Strategies, Chad Rogers of Crestview Strategy and Stephanie Levitz of the Toronto Star.As always, in addition to listening to the episode in your inbox, at TheWrit.ca or on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, you can also watch this discussion on YouTube.

In part one of a five part investigative series being conducted by Toronto Star, they deep dive into the story of a reality TV show where contestants could come on and get their business idea to save the world judged by people like Jeff Bezos and potentially get a stake in the process. But to get on the show, you had to pay a hefty sum of $25,000. Once the would be contestants arrived at the hotel where they were being brought to, they all soon realized that this was a scam. Kevin Donovan is Toronto Star's Chief Investigative Reporter, and came on to talk to Alex about this elaborate scam.

Guest: Alex Boyd, reporter Health Canada has authorized a new type of COVID shot from Moderna. It is a bivalent vaccine which means it is essentially two vaccines in one, in this case targeting the original virus and the Omicron variant BA.1.

Toronto Star reporter Alex Boyd tells us more about bivalent vaccines and what this means for the future in a world where the virus isn't going anywhere anytime soon. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Paulo Marques and Brian Bradley.

L'émission 28 Minutes du 02/09/2022 Au programme de l'émission du 2 septembre 2022 ⬇ Ce vendredi, la journaliste, autrice et réalisatrice Rokhaya Diallo, le correspondant européen de “Libération” Jean Quatremer, la journaliste au “Point” Géraldine Woessner ainsi que la dessinatrice Coco reviennent sur l'actualité de la semaine. Notre invitée Edwige Chirouter les rejoindra en cours d'émission. Cette professeure de philosophie et de sciences de l'éducation à l'Université de Nantes est titulaire de la chaire Unesco « Pratiques de la philosophie avec les enfants : une base éducative pour le dialogue interculturel et la transformation sociale ». Elle défend l'idée d'une pratique de la philosophie dès la maternelle. Rencontre. Retour sur deux actualités de la semaine : Visa. C'est une question qui divise l'Europe. Quid des demandes de visa pour l'Union européenne de la part des touristes russes ? Plus tôt cette semaine, les ministres des Affaires étrangères européens ont ouvert l'épineux dossier lors d'une rencontre à Prague. Si certains pays se positionnent en faveur d'une ratification de l'accord avec la Russie sur l'obtention simplifiée de visa à destination de sa population, une partie du Vieux Continent reste, elle, hésitante. Faut-il refuser le droit d'entrée sur le territoire européen aux ressortissants russes, quand nombre d'entre eux ont émigrés au début de la guerre en Ukraine ?  Imam Iquioussen. Depuis le mois de juillet, le gouvernement français – avec Gérald Darmanin, ministre de l'Intérieur en premier plan – réclame l'expulsion d'Hassan Iquioussen, prédicateur musulman présenté comme imam. Une décision validée le 30 août dernier, sauf que… L'homme est depuis introuvable. Celui qui a construit sa réputation sur le réseau social YouTube a été accusé de "discours prosélyte émaillé de propos incitant à la haine et à la discrimination et porteur d'une vision de l'islam contraire aux valeurs de la République". L'homme, qui se serait réfugié en Belgique, est désormais visé par un mandat d'arrêt européen. Dans le même temps, le Maroc a suspendu le laissez-passer consulaire indispensable pour que l'imam puisse être expulsé vers le territoire, son pays d'origine. Son expulsion est-elle une allégorie de fiasco politique ? Dans son Duel de la semaine, Renaud Dély oppose les deux candidats en lice au 36 Downing St. Qui de Liz Truss ou de Rishi Sunak succèdera à BoJo ? Dans son Point Com, Sonia Chironi revient sur une vidéo tronquée de Thomas Pesquet que certains complotistes sur la toile utilisent comme preuve pour réfuter la présence de l'homme sur la Lune… « Les déclarations récentes de Mathias Pogba sur les réseaux sociaux ne sont malheureusement pas une surprise. Elles s'ajoutent à des menaces et des tentatives d'extorsion en bande organisée contre Paul Pogba »…  Dans son histoire de la semaine, Claude Askolovitch revient sur l'affaire Pogba qui fait rage sur fond de révélations, tensions familiales et extorsion.  Notre Une internationale est celle du média canadien “Toronto Star” du 31 août dernier, qui titre : “Gorbatchev, l'homme qui leva le rideau de fer”, à la suite du décès du dernier dirigeant de l'URSS.Retrouvez enfin les photos de la semaine sélectionnées avec soin par nos clubbistes et “Dérive des continents” par Benoît Forgeard.  28 Minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Elisabeth Quin du lundi au vendredi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio.  Enregistrement : 2 septembre 2022 - Présentation : Élisabeth Quin - Production : KM, ARTE Radio

Guest: Alex Boyd, Toronto Star journalist While there are many reasons including equity and access issues that can prevent someone from getting a vaccine, some have chosen not to because of the myth that COVID-19 vaccines have led to hundreds of deaths in Canada and abroad. If billions of vaccine doses have been administered around the world, how did some people end up taking the view a vaccine could kill them and data proved it? How did misinformation that COVID-19 vaccines are killing people take root and end up becoming one of the biggest dividing lines in Canada?

Journalism is a powerful tool to spread the Animal Rights message and our guest, Jessica Scott-Reid does just that! Jessica's passion for food, culture, and the environment led her into exploring these topics and writing about responsible food choices. Naturally, she learned that this responsibility extends to the animals who are raised for various forms of consumption.She broke free from the "humane" myth, and the "cage-free/free-range" fallacies and made it her mission to expose the unpleasant truths of animal agriculture through her writing.  Whether they are sourced locally, or from a factory farm, Jessica urges her readers to recognize that there is no "right, kind, or humane" way to exploit animals.Jessica's work has been published in several mainstream platforms including Vox, CBC, and Toronto Star, to name a few. She is also a regular contributor to Sentient Media, a  leading Animal Rights media platform.In this conversation, Jessica addresses some of the challenges of bringing Animal Rights issues into the "mainstream media," and offers sage advice to aspiring and seasoned writers who care deeply about Animal Rights and want to make their voices heard on behalf of the animals.

It's Fake News Friday! This week, True North's Harrison Faulkner hosts the show and is joined by Rupa Subramanya!This week, instead of reporting on news that matters to Canadians, so-called journalists in the legacy media made themselves the centre of attention. The Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ) released a list a of demands to the police after allegedly receiving online threats. Threats are of course unacceptable, but where was the outrage from the CAJ when independent journalists were being assaulted by police during the Freedom Convoy? Why isn't the CAJ up in arms about the fact that two-sitting elected officials attacked Rupa for uncovering the government's political vaccine mandates? Plus, the legacy media's fear mongering about Pierre Poilievre continues – this time, a Toronto Star columnist claims Poilievre is fuelling “Christian nationalism.” Give us a break…Tune into Fake News Friday with Harrison Faulkner and Rupa Subramanya!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
