8/9/2023

GUEST: Phil Pothen, Ontario Environment Program Manager with Environmental Defense - The Competition Bureau is already looking into Meta’s removal of Canadian news from Facebook and Instagram, a spokesperson said the same day a group of news publishers and broadcasters asked for an investigation into the company’s news blocking. GUEST: Kevin Desjardins, President of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters - Canada has little to show for its promises to combat forced labour in China, critics say. In 2021, members of Parliament were among the first in the West to officially condemn Beijing’s repression of Uyghur and other Muslim minorities from China’s Xinjiang province – abuses that include forced labour.

Could metal security tags soon be hiding in our food? The world’s most powerful democracies were built on suffering & New tool to fight Insomnia!

8/3/2023
The Bill Kelly Podcast w/ Shiona Thompson: Walmart confirmed in an email to the Star that it has included security tags on items like fresh beef since 2019 to discourage theft. Could more metal security tags soon be hiding in our food? From self-checkout cameras to receipt-checking and off-duty police, increased theft prevention practices can be upsetting for customers, experts say. . Before 2020, rates of shoplifting had been increasing for six years, with larger increases in 2018 and 2019. From 2010 to 2019, the rate of shoplifting incidents jumped 39 per cent. GUEST: Bruce Winder, Retail Analyst & Author - United States President Joe Biden has cast the conflict between the western world and its competitors as a clash between “democracies and autocracies”. This masks the American desire for power and the complex realities of creating democracy. Democracy is supposed to base a state’s legitimacy in its accountability to its people. It supports people’s freedoms and human rights. What these ideals mean in practice and how to achieve them are difficult questions. But it’s clear the U.S. is no longer a credible champion for, or exemplar of, democracy. In fact, it has a long history of overthrowing and undermining democracies abroad. GUEST: Shaun Narine, Professor of International Relations and Political Science with St. Thomas University - There’s a theory backed by research that says our Western musical scale is tuned incorrectly. Middle A on a piano keyboard–and thus ever other standard middle A on every instrument–is standardized at 440 Hz. That’s wrong. Mathematical ratios related to tuning, something first discovered by Pythagoras, say that the “natural” frequency of middle A should be 432 Hz. That seems like a tiny difference–it’s almost an A-flat versus a contemporary natural A–but the effect on the human brain is apparently huge. GUEST: Alan Cross, Host, The Ongoing History of New Music, Canada’s longest running radio documentary

Is This the Summer of Strikes? Studies into possible treatments for Long COVID & Will there be an influx of reality TV due to Hollywood strike?

8/2/2023
The Bill Kelly Podcast w/ Shiona Thompson: While a new tentative deal many have been reached between the two sides involved in a labour dispute impacting thousands of B.C. port workers, experts say Canada may not have seen the last of strikes this year. From the B.C. port strike to the recent Greater Toronto Area Metro workers’ strike to the writers’ strike in the U.S., rising costs of living, high corporate profits and dissatisfaction among workers may all be contributing to collective action across sectors. GUEST: Dr. Simon Black, Associate Professor of Labour Studies with Brock University - The National Institutes of Health is beginning a handful of studies to test possible treatments for long COVID, an anxiously awaited step in U.S. efforts against the mysterious condition that afflicts millions. Monday’s announcement from the NIH’s US$1.15 billion RECOVER project comes amid frustration from patients who’ve struggled for months or even years with sometimes-disabling health problems — with no proven treatments and only a smattering of rigorous studies to test potential ones. GUEST: Dr. Dawn Bowdish, Professor in the Department of Medicine with McMaster University and the Executive Director of the Firestone Institute for Respiratory Health - Will there be an influx of reality TV because of the writers/actors strike? GUEST: Bill Brioux, television critic and author

Canada rolling out Individual cigarette warnings, Details on Ontario’s back-to-basics bill & Canada eliminated from Women’s World Cup!

8/1/2023
The Bill Kelly Podcast w/ Shiona Thompson: A fresh set of Health Canada regulations that require warning labels on individual cigarettes is set to come into effect Tuesday. The move, announced earlier this year, makes Canada the first country in the world to take that step in the ongoing effort to help smokers kick the habit and deter potential puffers from picking it up. GUEST: Dr. Robert Schwartz, Executive Director of the Ontario Tobacco Research Unit and Professor with the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto - School boards will soon be expected to do a lot more sharing — from exactly what teachers are learning on professional development days, to the number of students attending classes at least 90 per cent of the time. As part of Bill 98, the Better Schools and Students Outcomes Act, which passed before the summer break — and amid tense negotiations that continue with all of the province’s teacher unions — the government is mandating that boards post details of educators’ PD activities to the ministry as well as parents, starting this fall. GUEST: Karen Littlewood, President of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation - Canada leaves the FIFA Women's World Cup early and shell-shocked. And, in some cases, in tears. The Olympic champion Canadians were put to the sword Monday in a shocking, lopsided 4-0 loss to Australia. GUEST: Dr. Ann Pegoraro, Co-Director of The National Research Network for Gender Equity in Sport
