Join Maria Rekrut as she discusses the Ontario, Canada's Bill 23, which is a piece of proposed legislation that tries to solve the province's supply and affordability problems with housing. Here is an overview of the bill's main clauses and the housing concerns it aims to resolve. The bill suggests a variety of steps to boost the housing supply in Ontario, including the extension of land use designations for high-density housing and the formation of a new housing supply team to speed up the building proced A proposed law called Bill 23 in Ontario, Canada, intends to solve the province's supply and affordability problems with housing. The main points of the bill's provisions and the housing concerns it intends to solve are outlined below: The bill suggests a variety of actions to boost the housing supply in Ontario, such as extending land use designations for high-density housing and establishing a new housing supply team to speed up the building procedure. Additionally, Bill 23 aims to address the issue of affordability by introducing rent control measures for brand-new rental properties and enabling municipalities to enact inclusionary zoning laws that require developers to reserve a specific proportion of their new construction for affordable housing. Why is Ontario's housing Bill 23 considered controversial?: expert https://youtu.be/d3MRx5qnzMg via @YouTube Housing advocates take action against Bill 23 https://youtu.be/Ue9ys38mu1g via @YouTube A public inquiry led by Justice Dennis O'Connor determined that misconduct by public utility operators, the failure of a privatized water testing scheme and budget decisions by the Mike Harris provincial government which destroyed the guardrails needed to keep municipal systems safe, contributed to the worst public health disaster around drinking water in Canadian history. Twenty years after the crisis, environmental advocates warned if cuts to environmental policies continue to occur across the province, the tragedy in Walkerton is bound to be repeated. Bill 23 will have devastating impacts on Ontario's water systems, threatening humans & wildlife The Walkerton tragedy was a brutal reminder of the dangers created when humans ignore the risks posed by our natural world. In the spring of 2000, heavy rains tormented the small town. The constant flow of water drew bacteria from a nearby cattle farm and drained into the shallow aquifer of a cracked well nearby.  Unbeknown to the community, E. coli bacteria were swimming into their drinking supply. Five thousand residents drank the contaminated water. Over half fell ill and seven people died. Canadians are in so much debt that it will never be paid back.

Even after 30 years since Mike Harris ushered in the Common Sense Revolution, people debate the merits of his policies. If you liked him, he was the guy who did what he said he was going to do: cut taxes, balance budgets, and make government smaller. If you didn't like him, he was the guy responsible for deaths in Walkerton and Ipperwash. Alister Campbell, one of Harris' senior-most advisers, has put together a collection of essays designed to give the premier's time in office a second look. The book is called, "The Harris Legacy: Reflections on a Transformational Premier." He's joined by Sandra Pupatello, Liberal MPP from 1999-2011; Marilyn Churley, New Democratic MPP from 1990-2005; Chloe Brown, policy analyst at the Future Skills Centre and a former two-time Toronto mayoral candidate; and Robert Benzie, Toronto Star Queen's Park bureau chief.

Many years ago, when Joel Axler first moved to Walkerton, Ont., he was sitting in a diner when a postal worker walked in and asked him a question: "Are you in the witness protection program?" People from the big cities, she explained, don't usually move to the town of fewer than 5,000 people, which sits about halfway between Toronto and Tobermorey. Axler explained he was not being hunted by criminals—he just liked the place. Axler spent years in show business, having co-founded the Yuk Yuk's comedy club in the 1970s. When a job opportunity presented itself in Walkerton, he found he enjoyed the simple life: no chasing invoices, pitching clients or dealing with politics. Life was affordable, nature was nearby. Why not stay? On today's episode, Axler joins his old friend Ralph to talk about why he moved, why he stayed and what life is like as one of only two Jews in town.

Walkerton, Virginia is 58 miles from the Chesapeake Bay, and the Mattaponi River running through it is completely fresh water, making it easy to forget it has any connection to the Bay at all. But it has an interesting claim to fame--it has the highest average daily tide change of any location on the Chesapeake. How does such a distant, freshwater town have such a strong tide? John Page Williams explains how the interactions of fresh water, salt water, short-period waves, long-period waves, and the uniqueness of the Mattaponi itself converge to create Walkerton's unique place on the tide tables.

The new chair of the Ford government’s Greenbelt Council was Ontario’s environment minister leading up to the Walkerton tragedy, an E. coli outbreak that killed seven people two decades ago. Norm Sterling ⁠— who oversaw cuts to the environment ministry’s budget that were later found to have contributed to what happened in Walkerton ⁠— was a Progressive Conservative environment minister under the Mike Harris government. As an MPP in 2005, he voted against the creation of the Greenbelt. Sterling replaces former chair David Crombie, who resigned along with six others late last year in protest of the Ford government’s move to limit the powers of conservation authorities.

In this episode, Kyle interviews Melissa Stangl and Daniel Cleland, Co-founders of Soltara Healing Center. They talk about integration, Shipibo healing lineage, accessibility of psychedelics, and psychedelic tourism.  3 Key Points: Soltara is a Healing Center dedicated toward  integration as well as practicing and preserving the Shipibo tradition of Ayahusca healing.  It doesn't make sense to take nature based traditions and turn it into instant gratification and business. The further you get from tradition, the less beneficial it may be. Tourism for Ayahuasca can bring both harm and benefits to the local community. Reinforcing the heritage, paying the healers very well and giving back to the forests in terms of sustainability are all ways that Soltara is using Ayahuasca tourism to help the local communities.

Navigating Psychedelics Show Notes About Melissa Melissa originally comes from the STEM field She was working in corporate America and was in search for a deeper meaning She met Dan and after joining one of his initial ayahuasca journeys into Peru, it changed her mindset about healing Dan looked for someone to help him after starting up his first ayahuasca center in Peru, and so she dropped everything and moved to the jungle to make it happen After witnessing the healing potential working within the Shipibo tradition, and the need for integration within the community, she later founded Soltara with Dan in Costa Rica About Daniel Daniel grew up in a small town in Canada He followed the typical life trajectory, go to school, go to college, get a job, etc He didn't have big ambitions at the time, very in line with the middle class area that he grew up in After entering the work-force, he was in un-ambitious jobs He thought “are there just 30 years of doing this until this is over?” He felt a strong pull towards South America He was very close to nature in his upbringing He got a job leading tours He had a personal crisis that led him to do some soul searching Within the span of a few years, the trajectory pushed him to build his own healing center in Peru Pillars of Soltara They feel very strongly about having the Shipibo healers lead the ceremony, and everything that they (Mel, Dan and the team) do is to help honor the tradition They focus a lot on integration For the Shipibo culture, their life is integraton, but for a lot of people that are coming from the Western world and other places, that is not the case They started collaborating with clinical psychologists to help create a program that puts the retreat at the start of the program, the work comes after Soltara includes a workbook for integration afterward Our transition times in modern life are shamed, getting your period, having a mid life crisis, having a psychedelic experience, but these experiences can be very sacred “Connecting to the sacredness of life is so healing and so needed for modern-day society” - Melissa Container for Safety and Integration The sensationalism is more around the experience itself People think that you just go in and have the experience and then your life is changed forever and that is not the case A place where people not only can find who they are, but then be who they are in that container, and meet people and create community, is so powerful Kyle said when he attended his retreat there, he can't shake how safe he felt He said it really stood out to him, for someone who is looking at integration and so involved in this field “I would like to bring people to this tradition in a way that is accessible, and I think that starts with safety” - Melissa Corporadelic There are new products, treatment centers, etc The further away you get from tradition, the less beneficial it may be Dan says it doesn't make sense to take nature based traditions for instant gratification, monopoly, and business The ceremony is the healing part, the ayahuasca allows one to connect with the plants, and that it is just the songs in ceremony that really create the healing Melissa says she understands that the science is helping the movement, but she is so afraid that big corporations will just run with this and ruin tradition around it Kyle says during his experience at Soltara, he just felt flooded with gratitude to experience the medicine healing in nature and in the Shipibo culture, where it is natural Ayahuasca Tourism Tourism for Ayahuasca causes harm but also brings benefits to the community too Dan says they are expanding the work, they are not taking away from the traditions It takes a certain capacity to travel to the jungle, speak the language, figure out where to go, how to get there, and how to receive healing is not typically possible for the vast majority of people The Shipibo is receiving really good pay doing this work, which isn't typically possible for the indigenous people This is also reinforcing the heritage, encouraging the children to continue the traditional path Now it’s not only a cultural heritage, it's also a way to make a living for the community members You don't cut down trees to grow ayahuasca, you grow ayahuasca among the trees, so it's protecting the jungle In recent years there has been more information and collective awareness to ask the hard questions, Bia Labate has been on the forefront of this, asking the indigenous leaders the important questions of how to keep Ayahuasca tourism sustainable, beneficial and protected Sustainability They just completed a fundraiser for the Amazon They have been collaborating with Amazon Watch, and they raised over $10,000 They are working to plant new Ayahuasca, not to harvest but just to put back into the jungle Final Thoughts Melissa suggest listeners to watch Reconnect, a movie about a man’s journey to Soltara Links Soltara Website About Melissa Stangl After taking a leap of faith in September 2015 to step out of Corporate America and into the Amazon jungle, Melissa has since used her background in engineering, science, and management to help advance the plant medicine and psychedelic movements – first by helping run a top-rated ayahuasca center in Peru as Operations Manager, and then as Director of Business Development – and now as Founding Partner and COO for Soltara. She is passionate about using her technical, managerial, and problem-solving skills to help bridge the gap between the Western world and the incredible healing potential of plant medicines and holistic health. Melissa is honored to be a part of this project and working with such a high-quality team that understands the importance and sacredness of this work. Her ethos is one of authenticity, professionalism, respect for tradition, transparency, and high-quality service. These mutual tenets are the team’s vision for Soltara as a whole, and she is grateful to take part in creating a space that is a strong conduit for healing, sustainability, and knowledge, empowering each guest to become global beacons for positive change.

This week on Open Sources Guelph we learn again that elections have consequences. Here in Canada, we'll look at the consequences of two very big provincial elections at either end of the country, and here in Ontario we'll again look at what happens when you elect a party with no costed platform. But hey, it could be worse. The head of your government might be an unindicted co-conspirator who may only not be in jail right now because he's President of the United States! This Thursday, April 25 at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Green Nook. History was made in Prince Edward Island on Tuesday, just not the type of history that many people were hoping of expecting. The Progressive Conservatives won the most seats, but they'll now oversee a minority legislature with the formerly governing Liberals now in third place and now former Premier Wade MacLauchlin unable to keep his own seats. Meanwhile, the Green Party is now the Official Opposition, and that makes us wonder what it means for Greens across Canada. Jason Born. As predicted, Jason Kenney led the United Conservative Party to an easy majority victory in Alberta last week, and ended the Wild Rose Province's brief flirtation with the NDP. Kenney immediately stated his intention to follow up on key campaign promises like cancelling the carbon tax and playing hardball with B.C. to get those pipelines built, while no one in Alberta seems particularly concerned about the quality of people they just elected to their legislature. So what next for Alberta? Rescue 911. Premier Doug Ford has done it again, and by "it" when mean announce policy that's made a lot of people upset and concerned. Along with a proposal to amalgamate provincial ambulances services, public health agencies will also stand to lose millions of dollars in funding over the next few years, which is giving Ontarians some shades of Walkerton and the political decisions that led to that tragedy. We'll talk about the latest controversies from Queen's Park. Mueller's Crossing. U.S. Attorney General William Barr finally released a redacted version of the final report by Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III, and the result is not "total and complete vindication" as President Donald Trump would like you to believe. Far from it. Now everyone is waiting to see what comes of the report as Democrats in the House keep pushing for more information, including the un-redacted report, and start debating about whether or not to impeach. So what's next in this high stakes drama? Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

Dr. E. Michael Jones, the editor of Culture Wars magazine, discusses problem of the acceptance and embrace of homosexuality in American culture. The discussion was triggered by the recent incident in Seattle where a pro-life group went into a coffee shop after passing out some leaflets on the public sidewalks. The owner of the cafe, a homosexual, ordered them out because he discovered what they had been passing out and he disagreed with the message. This was caught on a 2 minute video that went viral. Recently in Walkerton, near South Bend, IN an owner of a Christian owned Pizza place was sued for saying he would not cater a gay wedding. Mike points out the hypocrisy and danger of the LGBT movement, and reads from his book Degenerate Moderns: Modernity as Rationalized Sexual Misbehavior.

On Episode 19, we hear how Tero Isokauppila of Four Sigmatic is dedicating his life to extolling the powers of the mushroom kingdom. And then we learn more about how we get one of our most precious and fundamental resources from a water treatment operator who came up in the post-Walkerton e. Coli outbreak era.

The only people who might have had a wilder roller coaster ride than Trevor Noah this week were the owners of Memories Pizza in Walkerton, Indiana. (That's the place that announced Wednesday morning they would not be willing to service the burgeoning market for breadsticks and nacho cheese dip at gay weddings. By Friday, they had been forced to close temporarily because of all the harassment and had seen half a million dollars raised for them on the site gofundme.com.)Anyway, we're not talking about Indiana on The Nose today. We promise.Support the show: http://www.wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thanks Renegade Nation for downloading my show American Betrayal. Listen and Grow. Today's show is about freedom of Speech and Religion he 3 Percent's Moral Majority Morality according to the 3 Percent (the gay community in America) is defined by imposing conformity, control, coercion, and oppression over those who disagree with their definition of equality, fairness, tolerance, or even love. This convert or die scenario isn’t fair or legal, but it’s happening throughout the country—and the world—in different extremes. Killing Christian’s businesses, ability to earn a living, and freedom to worship and love—is no different than communist oppression that dictates: conform, change, move, convert to a particular belief system, or be punished. An Indiana woman whose family owns a small-town pizzeria says the state’s new religious objections law supports the restaurant’s right to deny service to any same-sex couples who might ask them to cater their wedding. Crystal O’Connor of Memories Pizza says her familywould serve a gay couple or a non-Christian couple at its restaurant in Walkerton, which is about 20 miles southwest of South Bend in northern Indiana.

The Livestock Lost series examines the farming and business of meat, dairy and egg production. It explores the known and unknown dangers of meat production and what people can do to source alternatives to what many would refer to as a cultural staple of the North American diet. Part III - Local Meat? "Not in My Backyard? II" In this third installment of the series, we continue with our examination of how one community is responding to more restrictive slaughterhouse regulations in the face of increasing demand for safe and humanely-produced local meat. As of now, it is illegal to purchase locally raised and slaughtered meat within many regions of British Columbia. Our focus on the response in the West Kootenay region of the province provides a great example of how such a project may be received if proposed in other North American communities. While the critical questioning of any proposed development in a community is indeed a healthy process to undertake collectively, it became clear on Part II that much of the opposition to the abattoir were emotional responses of fear that led to condemning instead of questioning. Part III presents an even greater focus on one of the most important concerns for any community - water. It was this very concern over water that acted as one of the major setbacks to the slaughterhouse proposed in the Slocan Valley. Guests/Voices Kenyon McGee, Spokesperson, Slocan Valley Abattoir Co-operative (Winlaw, BC) - Kenyon is a lawyer with Kenyon McGee Law Corporation and has been involved with the abattoir co-operative since it was first formed in 2007. He has lived in the area for 30 years and has had experience raising and butchering livestock. Marilyn Burgoon, Director, "Slocan Valley Watershed Alliance" (Winlaw, BC) - The Slocan Valley Watershed Alliance is a non-profit society formed in 1982. The SVWA is a coalition of local watershed groups from the communities of Hills to South Slocan. Since its formation, the Alliance has worked to protect water quality, quantity and timing of flow. The Alliance opposed the proposed abattoir in the Slocan Valley. Bruce Davidson, Vice-Chair, Concerned Walkerton Citizens (Walkerton, ON) - Since 2000, Bruce has been publicly speaking on the Walkerton water contamination tragedy that took the lives of seven community residents and made 2,500 ill. The contamination was the result of complex series of events that began with e.coli entering into the public drinking water supply from a cattle farm. Bruce sits on the board of the Canadian Environmental Law Association and is involved in his local source protection board.
