**Sponsored by EasyDNS** Move your domain or web hosting to EasyDNS and support Not On Record: https://easydns.com/NotOnRecord Use promo code: **notonrecord** In Episode 220 of Not On Record, criminal defence lawyers Michael Bury and Nick discuss Canada's new Bail and Sentencing Reform Act (Bill C-14), a sweeping piece of legislation introducing more than 80 changes to Canada's bail and sentencing laws. The discussion examines the government's stated goal of addressing public concerns over repeat offenders, violent crime, auto theft, home invasions, human trafficking, and organized criminal activity. Michael and Nick break down the most significant reforms, including expanded reverse onus provisions, restrictions on sureties, changes to the ladder principle, new sentencing aggravating factors, and the elimination of conditional sentence orders for certain offences. The episode also explores the potential unintended consequences of these reforms, including increased pre-trial detention, overcrowded jails, longer bail delays, additional pressure on courts, and the impact on accused persons who remain presumed innocent while awaiting trial. The hosts discuss concerns raised by defence lawyers, civil liberties advocates, and organizations that question whether tougher bail laws will meaningfully reduce crime or simply place greater strain on an already overburdened justice system. Topics include reverse onus bail hearings, human trafficking offences, auto theft, home invasions, conditional sentences, prison overcrowding, mental health concerns, rehabilitation, GPS monitoring programs, and the broader debate between public safety and civil liberties.

You always know an interview is special when it gives you the chills as you listen to the stories.  That was my experience when I met with 86Borders at the recent HIMSS conference.  86Borders counsels people in vulnerable populations who disproportionately suffer from chronic health conditions. These people face multiple barriers, such as in cost, transportation, and time commitments. Furthermore, they often have an "inherent distrust of the health care system," according to Co-Founder and CEO Dan McDonald.A vivid example of the impact 86Borders can have was offered by VP of Quality Lauren Barca, who summed up their approach as "empathy first." A 51-year-old woman had missed her mammograms for nine years, burdened by working multiple jobs and taking care of children and grandchildren. An 86Borders care coordinator engaged with her, explained the importance of mamm0grams, and set her up to take one that turned up a treatable cancer. 86Borders then helped her navigate the health care system and go into remission.Learn more about 86Borders: https://www.86borders.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

Modern life is increasingly dependent on the internet, but with dependence comes vulnerability. Popular websites enable fraud, disinformation, and harassment. Although anyone on the internet can be at risk, particular age demographics, including children and the elderly, are exposed to threats ranging from social media risks to online harassment to much worse. Federal efforts to legislate solutions have met with mixed success. State governments have begun to address these questions on their own terms, with some enacting age verification laws and others bringing lawsuits against internet companies. How then should we think about public safety in the present internet ecosystem, particularly for vulnerable populations like children and the elderly? Is legislation desirable or even possible? And what does the future hold? Join our panelists, all advocates on the front lines, as they discuss these issues.

As 2025 draws to a close, millions of Americans stand at the edge of a healthcare cliff. Sister Mary Haddad, President and CEO of the Catholic Health Association, returns to The Healthy Project to sound the alarm on an urgent policy crisis that threatens to undermine healthcare access for working families nationwide.Following the passage of major Medicaid cuts in July that will affect 10 million people, enhanced premium tax credits under the Affordable Care Act are set to expire at the end of the year. The result? An estimated 4.2 million more Americans are losing coverage, with millions facing dramatic cost increases. For rural communities already struggling with limited resources, the impact could be devastating.This episode examines the intersection of healthcare policy, economic justice, and human dignity. Sister Mary draws on Catholic social teaching to frame healthcare access not merely as a policy preference but as a moral imperative rooted in the inherent worth of every person. She offers a clear-eyed assessment of how hospital closures, emergency department overcrowding, and the loss of telehealth flexibilities create a perfect storm threatening the most vulnerable among us.Beyond diagnosis, this conversation explores solutions. What must Congress do immediately? How can healthcare systems balance mission-driven care with financial sustainability? What role should everyday citizens play in advocacy? And perhaps most importantly: what does hope look like when systems are breaking down?In This Episode:The Immediate CrisisUnderstanding the connection between July's Medicaid cuts and expiring tax creditsWhy 4.2 million working Americans face losing coverageThe "sticker shock" families are experiencing during open enrollmentCongressional gridlock and the December deadlineRural Healthcare Under PressureLower median incomes meeting higher insurance costsThe competitive disadvantage of rural insurance marketsHospital closures and service reductions on the horizonThe hidden costs: hotel stays and hours-long drives for basic careEmergency Departments as Safety NetWhy ERs become primary care when coverage disappearsThe economic burden of treating delayed, acute conditionsFederal mandates and the impossible position of hospitalsTriage challenges when systems are overwhelmedThe Telehealth QuestionHow COVID revealed telehealth's essential roleTemporary extensions vs. permanent policy solutionsAccess equity and the digital divideReal stories from rural South DakotaMoral Framework & AdvocacyHealthcare as inseparable from human dignityOperating as a "ministry that functions as a business"The responsibility of citizens to engage with the governmentMoving from despair to concrete actionLooking ForwardStrengthening existing coverage systemsThe critical need for primary care investmentAcknowledging that U.S. healthcare is "broken"Building coalitions across providers, payers, and governmentSister Mary's perspective is particularly vital for those interested in the social determinants of health, healthcare economics, policy advocacy, and faith-based approaches to social justice.
