The latest episode of the Gaming News Canada Show is one of the two-part type as we pack our suitcase and fill up the GNC vehicle before heading to the city below Uxbridge for this week's Canadian Gaming Summit. Canadian Gaming Association senior executive Amanda Brewer returned to the show for a rapid round on what's happening across the national gaming industry these days. That includes the slow road to an open market in Alberta, the wait at iGaming Ontario for a new boss and the launch of a centralized self-exclusion program, and lobbying efforts for open gambling regimes in British Columbia. We also had a chat about this week's summit, where Brewer will moderate “The urgent need to modernize Canada's AML framework” panel Wednesday a.m. with Derek Ramm (Kinectify), Brian Terranova (FanDuel) and Heinen Hutchison Robitaille LLP partner Scott Hutchison. Craig Cornforth of EPIC Global Solutions took time out from the SBC Summit Malta last week to make his maiden GNCS appearance. The former auto dealer told his poignant story around gambling addiction and the road to recovery that led him to join EPIC and its work in the prevention of gambling harm. Cornforth will be on stage with Alistair Facciol (Rhino Entertainment), Ryan McCarthy (BCLC), Covers journalist Geoff Zochodne and yours truly for a Thursday morning chin wag on “Regulation and responsibility: how the new politics affect player protection”. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Boris Johnson is a British politician, journalist, and author who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2019 to 2022.

ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION Climate change has become the great overarching mission of our times for politicians and business leaders. With the UN secretary general declaring that we are now in an era of ‘global boiling', every leading politician talks about reducing greenhouse-gas emissions to ‘net zero' – with the few emissions the economy does produce balanced by some method to soak them up, from planting trees to carbon capture and storage. As a result, a timetable has been created to eliminate emissions, step by step, between now and 2050. Proponents of Net Zero argue that the process could be a creative one, leading to the development of new technologies and millions of well-paid ‘green' jobs. Moreover, they point to opinion polls which suggest that the idea is popular with the public. But the price to be paid for Net Zero is becoming ever clearer and is no longer a distant prospect. As soon as 2026, new oil-powered boilers will be banned and all new housing must have heat pumps installed. Gas boilers, petrol and diesel cars and cheap flights are all in the firing line. But the impact of Net Zero goes way beyond these measures, with major impacts on jobs and livelihoods. For example, farmers in the Netherlands and Ireland have been angered by EU emissions targets that mean the number of animals that can be reared must be drastically reduced. Energy for industry is becoming more expensive, too, with many high energy users already looking at much lower costs in the US, where the exploitation of shale gas through fracking has kept prices low. Opinion polls suggest that while Net Zero is popular in the abstract, the policies designed to make it happen are much less so. Moreover, with unanimity among the major parties in the UK that Net Zero is an inviolable policy, there is no electoral route to push back against such policies, except to vote for smaller parties with little hope of winning seats in the near future. Indeed, for some environmentalists, there can be no choice in the matter: if necessary, democracy must be sacrificed to the need to cut emissions. That said, the Uxbridge by-election – which became something of a referendum on Sadiq Khan's ULEZ policy – seems to have caused consternation among the major parties. Even though Net Zero itself wasn't in question, a major environmental initiative seemed to be resoundingly rejected at the ballot box. Is Net Zero an unpleasant necessity or, more positively, the start of a new industrial revolution? Or is it a policy that is being pursued without the technical means of achieving it in an affordable fashion? Will the backlash against Net Zero increase – and will it matter if governments are determined to pursue it, whether we like it or not?

Tory MP for Uxbridge is campaigning hard for a fish and chip shop in the centre of Uxbridge, and that's despite refusing planning permission for one in 2019. Marina and Jemma rarely start an episode with their head in their hands but this time they do. And their despair isn't going away because this ep has sewage at it's heart and some dismal facts about how badly privatisation has failed us all. Jemma tries to change the subject / lighten the mood with a series of tweets Marina is only half sure about. Enjoy!

Would you please start by telling us why you became an environmental journalist and maybe a bit about that mid life crisis? 5:07 For about 10 years I had a career in marketing. At one time I was the kind of the junk mail king of Canada sending out paper flyers by mail. I was at a direct mail conference and David Suzki was the guest speaker. It was kind of a downer because he was talking about climate change and environmental impact . And when he was asked "what can we do as an industry?" he replied "stop what you are doing and do something useful."6:01 I took that to heart because I was feeling tired of the long commute to work, the direct mail industry, wanted to do something more meaningful, spend more time with my family and more time outside of highly air conditioned offices. I wanted to integrate my work with my family life. Were you able to achieve what you set out to do?7:14 Absolutely. I was there for my kids before and after school. Could go for walks and schedule my won time . It took a few years because I had a family, a mortgage, and there were financial pressures. 2. You wrote a book Your Water Footprint – please tell us a little about that and is there any good news here? What are the 3 things people can do day to day that will make a difference. person can do on a very small scale to help protect water. 8:11 The book came about when someone in Uxbridge where I lived at the time asked me to do a info graphic approach to show in a visual the impact of our use of water. An Ottawa school is using the book for a project called Blue Schools. I ask the school kids if there is anything that we can make that does not require water. There really isn't anything. Is there anything we can do to protect water? 10:18 Any time you consume anything be aware of the water consumption. The idea is to respect water. For thousands of years water has been considered sacred because we cannot survive without it or do anything without it. I think having that mindset of awareness helps us and water.

It's widely believed that the Conservaives won the Uxbridge by-election because of motorists who were annoyed by the London mayor's ultra low emission zone. With a general election looming, both main english parties want to harness "driver power". But how did the vote of car and van owners become so important? Does the independence driving brings lead to a libertarian attitude? Or is that combative attitude caused by drivers feeling that they have been used as cash-cows by successive governments, which have gladly taken their road tax and fuel duty. But that power balance is also set to change, with the eventual electrification of all UK vehicles. Could road pricing replace fuel duty - and how will motorists respond?Presenter: Chris Bowlby Producer: Jim Frank Editor: Clare Fordham
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends offering buprenorphine, a medication that can help curb opioid cravings, to teens addicted to opioids. However, only 6% of pediatricians currently offer the drug, in part because some believe that they do not have the right training or staffing to provide this care. Today, WBUR reporter Martha Bebinger brings The Common to a pediatrician's office in Uxbridge, Massachusetts, and discusses the role pediatricians can play in preventing drug overdose deaths among adolescents. If you or someone you care about is struggling with addiction and may be at risk of an overdose, you can call the Massachusetts Overdose Prevention Helpline at: 1-800-972-0590.

How deep does racism run within the Labour Party?Since the start of the Gaza war, there's been a growing anger within British Muslim communities at Labour's perceived lack of leadership on the Palestinian issue, and on the calls for a ceasefire.Under Sir Keir Starmer, the opposition party has towed the government line, publicly supporting Israel's devastating war, despite the outcry of many Labour MPs - many who quit in protest.But some have remained to fight.This week on The Big Picture, we speak with Labour Party member and former Uxbridge candidate Ali Milani, who says he's ready to publicly challenge the way senior members of the party view Palestinians, and Muslims in general.We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, and any guests you'd like us to have on our show.

Welcome to Episode 108, where we take you on a virtual journey through the Battle of Britain Bunker. Located in Uxbridge, England, this historic site played a crucial role as the headquarters for RAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain during World War II. It is now open to the public as a museum, preserving the heritage and bravery of those who defended Britain against Nazi Germany's air raids in 1940. During our recent trip to London, we traveled to Uxbridge by tube. At the museum, we first explored it on our own, taking in all the exhibits and artifacts that tell the story of this pivotal moment in British history. But the real highlight of the visit was the guided tour of the bunker itself. A knowledgeable guide led it with a passion for sharing the history of this command center from World War II. We descended underground into the very rooms where the decisions were made that ultimately determined the fate of Britain. The bunker, which was top-secret during the war, has been painstakingly restored to its original condition and gives visitors a glimpse into what life was like for those stationed there. A special mention is given to the Polish pilots who were integral in defending Britain's skies against German attacks.

Last week's by-elections left the Tory party wounded, with Labour and the Lib Dems on the front foot. Or are they? The Tories JUST held onto Uxbridge and South Ruislip, and those on the right say that's down to Labour's ULEZ policy. Starmer, for some reason, ran with that Narrative. Is he losing his nerve over his party's green policies? And when will the Tories stop shitting on young voters? That's Oh God, What Now? With this week's guest, Rachel Cunliffe. “If I were Sunak I'd be tearing my hair out, but the narrative is - it wasn't that bad really.” – Rachel Cunliffe “The Lib Dems are like ‘WE ARE KINGS OF THE WORLD'.” – Marie Le Conte “I think Labour are currently making a category error on what the Tories' strategy is.” – Alex Andreou. “You don't earn any votes by shitting on young people.” – Marie Le Conte.

Nish and Coco can't resist popping up for a special bonus mini-episode to discuss the Super Thursday by-election results. A revolt against Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan's Ulez low emissions policy hands the Tories a lifeline to hang on to their seat in Uxbridge and Ruislip - Coco hopes that doesn't encourage Labour HQ to sideline their green agenda.Better news for Labour in Selby and Ainsty where Kier the Younger - Labour candidate Keir Mather - successfully overturns the biggest majority ever in a by-election by the Labour Party. While in Somerton and Frome a huge win for the Liberal Democrats means Coco gets to enjoy leader Ed Davey pulling another of his cheesy victory stunts.
Michael Walker and Aaron Bastani break down the results from three byelections across England.

"It never really crossed my mind to feel limited. It never really crossed my mind to be like, 'What can't I do now?' I always focused on, 'What can I do under different circumstances?' It never crossed my mind to focus on couldn't." If the name Michele Blackburn sounds familiar, that may be because you've heard it mentioned here on the Ali on the Run Show before — just about one year ago, in fact. Last year, Peloton instructor Jess Sims completed the Boston Marathon, running with an invitational entry from, you guessed it: Michele Blackburn. In 2013, Michele was at the Boston Marathon finish line cheering for her best friend and roommate. She was standing in front of Marathon Sports on Boylston Street when the two bombs detonated, and almost lost both legs as a result. Ultimately, her surgical team was able to save her legs and feet, but she has dealt with extensive surgeries (including skin grafting) and complications (including, more recently, lymphedema) since then. For years, Michele avoided the Boston Marathon and the finish line. Last year, she returned to Boylston Street for the first time since 2013, to cheer Jess into the finish. This year, 10 years after that tragic day in Boston, Michele will return again: this time, as a marathoner. In this conversation, Michele talks about her decision to run this year's race, and to do it while raising money for the Milford Regional Healthcare System — the hospital that rehabbed her after dealing with lymphedema as a result of the bombings. Michele lives in Uxbridge, MA, with her husband and their two kids, ages 4 and 6. SPONSORS: Bandit Running: Use code ONTHERUN15 to get 15% off your entire Bandit order.

In a suburb of North-West London, among housing estates and residential streets lies a secret bunker, you may never have heard of it but it's one of the most important World War Two sites in Britain. Here, deep underground, the RAF built its Uxbridge headquarters where it commanded the defence of the country in the Battle of Britain. The pilots who fought in the skies are rightly hailed as heroes and affectionately known as 'the few', but they wouldn't have been able to do what they did without the many women behind them and under the ground gathering intelligence and commands, distributing them at lightening speed under the intense pressure of active battle.Dan goes down into the earth with Dr Sarah-Louise Miller, who brings their stories to life in the room where the Battle of Britain was organised, overlooking the very maps that show what happened there during that decisive summer of 1940. Dr Sarah-Louise's new book 'The Women Behind the Few' puts the Women's Auxiliary Air Force back at the heart of Britain's war, exploring what they did- collecting and disseminating vital intelligence- that led to the Allied victory.You can also visit the secret RAF bunker in Uxbridge, find out more about the Battle of Britain Bunker Museum here: http://battleofbritainbunker.co.uk/Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal Patmore.If you'd like to learn more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe to History Hit today!Download the History Hit app from the Google Play store.Download the History Hit app from the Apple Store.
