Why Canada's PM, Justin Trudeau, Is Taking Aim at Elon Musk
"Begin with the Canadian broadcast corporation, which is a little bit upset because Elon Musk dared to say on their Twitter profile what they are, which is state funded media. 69% state funded was actually what Elon went with. Nice. Well, this is not going over well. Look at what the prime minister Justin Trudeau had to say. He runs to American billionaires. The tech giants that they continue to defend in committee. Conservatives are always there to defend them. So when they're trying to attack a foundational Canadian institution, the fact that he has to run to American billionaires for support to attack Canadians says a lot. Okay, okay. So they're all worked up. Elon's just telling the truth on this one. Let me give you some of the numbers. If you look at their financial report from 2022, they got 1.24 billion from the government, wow. I mean, that's a lot of money. And 651.4 million from advertising. You tell me what kind of business it is, right? I mean, let's just call a spade a spade. And you see, when it's a government funded media organization, I'm sure you have some very well meaning journalists there, but look, you know, bite the hand that feeds you. You got 1.24 billion coming in from the state, chances are you're doing a lot of the state's bidding. Aren't you? I mean, this is just reality. And it's worth having that transparency. Why shouldn't we know this? We see something that comes from the CBC in this way. We know this is an organization that is funded by the government, primarily funded by the government. So they have their bias, right? And I have mine.

The Government Is the Only Truth?
"All those many scientists and doctors who have told you for the last two and a half years about the dangers of lockdowns keeping kids out of school masking children and vaccinating young people. They don't know what the hell they're talking about because the only truth is the NIH truth or the CBC truth. Or even more obvious The New York Times and the Democratic Party's truth. Isn't that something? That's the only truth. There is no other truth. Well, people have come to believe that.

Judge Drops Charges Against Hospital Guards
"Danielle Stephanie Warner sits alone in the Toronto hospital lobby wearing little more than a pale blue medical gown, moments later she's wheeled by away by guards, her slight frame slumped in a wheelchair her legs dangling from the edge. What happens in between is in captured on video instead of security camera was purposely turned away as guards approach the 43 year old pushed her against the wall and restrained her on the ground. Isn't that interesting? I didn't know about that. This is in the CBC report. That the hospital cameras were deliberately turned away from what they did to this woman. Wow. It's very painful to think of what has happened to the medical profession. It is so much of it has become cruel. Not only not helpful, but cruel.

Patient Died After Hospital Guards Tackled Her
"Here's a story out of Toronto that is a sign of our times. I think that that is the most accurate way to put it. So a 42 year old woman came to a Toronto hospital. And she apparently did not have a mask on and she was strangled to death by two guards. I know that sounds hospital guards. These were not these were not Toronto police. And the judge dropped all the charges, did not even allow it to go to trial. This story I'm reading to you is from the national post to Ontario hospital guards, who had been charged in the death of a patient in a Toronto hospital, will no longer face trial after a judge made a rare ruling that quashed the case CBC news, reported. Danielle Stephanie Warren, 43, died at the Toronto general hospital. In May 2020, the two guards, one of the story come out now. This is today. Story is today because it went before the judge. The actual event happened in May 2020. The two guards Amanda Rojas Silva 42 and Shane hudley 35 had been charged with manslaughter. It's on video. It's so obvious that they are guilty of manslaughter. And criminal negligence, but on November 22 a judge said there wasn't enough evidence presented at the preliminary hearing to proceed to trial despite video footage and witness testimony.

The System Is Broken
"So here is the remainder of my story. I just read to you from the CBC. It's important that you understand the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. You understand it's not from a conservative source from a left wing source. The story of what happened to this couple and the completely unnecessary death of his wife because they waited so many hours before being treated. At an emergency room in the province of Nova Scotia. But this is not new. So I would say 15 years ago, I was actually wield from my flight to Toronto. I could stand and walk, but not a distance without terrible pain. And the distance, in many countries, when you come in from a foreign country through, until the immigration area is often very long. Anyway, I was wheeled and the woman asked me, why do you need a wheelchair? We were just talking completely legitimate question, obviously, because she saw me walk to the wheelchair. And I told her I had a terrible sciatic, which prevented me from walking any serious distance. And she said, oh, I have that. So I remember thinking, wait a minute. She's wheeling me and she has sciatic pain? I felt guilty, actually. But obviously, she was able to do so. I don't know the degree of pain. And I said, well, what did your MRI say? Because that's how you know the degree of severity of a herniated disc, which is usually the reason for sciatic pain. Oh no, I haven't had my MRI yet. And I said, well, why not? So that's the most important thing right now. She said, no, no, no, I'm scheduled, and I'll have it in four months.

When it worsened throughout the morning, drove his wife to the nearest emergency department in Amherst Nova Scotia around 11 a.m.. He said he carried Allison into the hospital on his back. She was obviously in pain, he told CBC news in an interview Sunday. I was rolling her in the wheelchair, and she could hardly sit up.

"They broke bread in their homes and ate together with Glaad and sincere hearts praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people and the lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. So the early church had a number of distinctives that are still important today. If you would go back here to the first part of acts two 42, devotion to peer teaching to fellowship or in the Greek, it's coin and Nia. It refers to a close association involving mutual involvement, relationships and others lives, including community, communion, joint participation, and intimacy, breaking of bread together, eating together involves both participation in the lord's supper as we will in just a moment. And also simply sharing meals together for the sake of friendship. Prayer for one another, particularly about deeper things and personal struggles is critical, both to the health of the church in each of us individually. We see this clearly throughout the epistles as the apostles affirm their prayers for others that they know, and they also request prayer from them as well as they write.

CDC Changes Definition of Vaccine
"So here is from the Miami Herald. Why did the CBC change its definition of vaccine? Did you know that? Yeah. CDC is utterly corrupt utterly. There's no question that so it will be recorded historically. Social media is calling bluff on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I can't believe this is in the Miami Herald to be honest. For modifying its definition of the words vaccine and vaccination on its website, before the change, the definition of vaccination read the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease. Now the word immunity has been switched to protection. Get the switch. The term vaccine also got to make over the CDC's definition changed from a product that stimulates a person's immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, which is why I read to you. From the Internet to the current, a preparation that is used to stimulate the body's immune response against diseases. Stimulate the body. So it doesn't confer immunity. They've changed it, as I said. When you get vaccinated against smallpox, is it too minimize the effects of smallpox? You get a little smallpox, a little measles, a little chickenpox, a little polio. That was at the toll to us? Or will we protect it from it? Were we better excuse me? Immune to it. As I said at the beginning, on The Crown may be a godsend. Maybe, I don't know. I never make or rarely make predictions, but it may be, it may be a godsend. Because it's for the vast majority of people that is not serious. And yet it will confer on them natural immunity. And yet, the lockdowns around the world are continuing.

Why Is the Media Attacking a Safe, Effective Drug?
"Ivermectin works. You're being lied to by corrupt medical profession. it is. I never thought i'd say this is as corrupt as the teachers unions. There was no difference between the american medical association the cbc the nih and the teachers unions. They're left wing activist groups. They have no commitment to what they claim to have. Commitment to there are some wonderful teachers. There are some wonderful people at all. Cdc and nih. it's corrupt it's been corrupted by big pharma. They want you to take the vaccine. Because if you can get healthy by taking a cheap pill like ivermectin or hydroxy chloroquine and zinc. They don't want you to do so. They wanna make billions by pushing and shoving the vaccine down americans throats. That's the reason for the war against ivermectin in india. They used it and listen to the story. Okay just listen to it that this is a A doctor writing from the desert review dot com republished in zero hedge. There's a black on any conversation. About how ivermectin beat cova nineteen in india when i discussed the dire straits that india found itself in in earlier this year with four hundred fourteen thousand cases per day and over four thousand deaths per day and how that evaporated within five weeks of the addition of ivermectin often asked. Why is there no mention of that in the news. Yes exactly ask yourself why. India success against the delta variant with ivermectin is such a closely guarded secret by the nih and cdc. Second ask yourself. Why no major media outlets reported this fact but instead try to confuse you with false information by saying the deaths in india are ten times greater than official reports perhaps.

Supreme Court Ends Biden’s Eviction Moratorium
"So now the by administration has been extending a federal eviction moratorium to protect tents struggling to pay their rent during the pandemic but now the moratorium is over really truly over. That's because the supreme court ruled last week. That the cbc has overstepped its at and that the moratorium to continue congress. We'd need to authorize it but that's unlikely to happen as house. press secretary. jen psaki told reporters on friday. What we're trying to do here is prevent people from being evicted from their homes. If there were enough votes to pass an eviction moratorium in congress it would have happened. It hasn't happened and while the white house says it's working with states on solutions. hundreds of thousands potentially millions of tenants across the country are now at risk of losing their homes including tenants in the state of new york. We're more than eight hundred. Thirty thousand households are behind on their rent. We're joined today by sia weaver campaign coordinator of housing justice for all in new york. Sia welcome to the takeaway. Extre having me also with us. Peter hepburn assistant professor of sociology at rutgers university newark and part of the eviction lab at princeton university. Peter welcome back to the shell on sia from your perch. What's the significance of this supreme court ruling. Well that's really just devastating as you said eight hundred thirty thousand households are more really are behind on rent in new york and seventy seven percent of them are people of color. The thing that's most painful about all of this as our state also has two point seven billion dollars in rental assistance. Money meant to solve this problem and we've been unable to spend it so this is a a real wave of addiction. That should be preventable. But for some reason has not been prevented.

There Is No Evidence To Support Children Wearing Masks

The Science of Masks Is Still Uncertain
"New york magazine is on the left on occasion. It produces a non left peace new york magazine. Science of masking kids at school remains uncertain. The title is way. Way understating vic. The arguments of the article at the end of may the centers for disease control and prevention published a notable yet mostly ignored large scale. Study of cova transmission in american schools. These findings cast doubt on the impact of many of the most. Common mitigation measures measures in american schools distancing hybrid models classroom barriers hep filters and most notably requiring student. Masking were each found to not have a statistically significant benefit. I'm allowing that to sink in. This is a cbc study which needless to say made no headlines that i'm aware of in the united states but this experts say masks on children harmful or and useless to year olds have to wear masks onto airplanes. And we're proud of our society and there are people on the plane who were scared of a three year old. Not wearing a mask. I fear irrationality and i don't fear much in other words. These measures cannot be said to be effective. Many of america's peer nations around the world including the u k ireland all of scandinavia france. The netherlands switzerland italy have exempted kids with varying age. Cutoffs from wearing masks classrooms really. They must be dying. These kids must be killing teachers conspicuously. There's no evidence of more outbreaks in schools. Those countries relative to schools in the. Us does that matter. Those of you who say you follow the science and take the left wing. Positions on science are lying to yourselves.

They offer the idea that you'll get less sick if you're vaccinated but you are just as likely to transmit it. Apparently i my friends. They say whatever they want to say on any given day masks were useless. Doctor said in the beginning. England journal of medicine had a report that they were useless.

What is the fact that some people suddenly have all this extra time revealing about the work day they had before i find myself thinking what the heck was i doing in the office all that time because they seem to have so much time right even if i do fake commute and i it's making me reflect on how i was spending my time before do you think the pandemic is shutting light on new light on how we spend our time and attention. Oh i think completely. And i think it's also producing a lot of nervousness. One thing to say like people have more time. And it's another to say we're exhaust. Were exhausted so i think there's a greater expensive time that's needing to be managed in a different way but i don't think that means that people aren't exhausted to imagine that we have extra time now or more time would almost be is for saying well. People are well rested right. But i think what's interesting is there's crater expensive time to manage and that doesn't necessarily mean one isn't exhausted. I don't know if it's just me. But i i find. I'm having trouble focusing on the things that are most important or that. I really want to pay attention to rather than just kind of filling up my time. That and i'm sure i can't be alone in that. Why why do you think it's so hard to to focus on what we really want. Pay attention to. I think also the sense of the what our future is. Whatever we thought it was before Not like we actually control the future before. But what's ahead of is rather unknown and so but i also think the sense of like wanting to do this time. Well sort of culturally problematic like. Are you living cova to the best of your ability or are you living your kovic time. Well and it's also a sense of. Are we missing out on something by not accomplishing something or not doing something well. During this time like was cova great. Missed opportunity for that hobby that you never got around boom. All of this speaks to that cultural and towards productivity and also to extracting more and more workout of us and also producing anxiety. We will ask ourselves if we're spending our time properly. Are we falling behind. How how will we come out of. This will be expected to do these same things. While i have to commute again so i think we are recognizing potentially the performance of dizziness that we were taking on before or the other things that we were doing. That were unnecessary. That may be. When i when i say there aren't necessarily there are sort of performances of productivity burn the majority of pump technology. That moment does distract test scott to our attention. We think about the ethics of technology implications of technology. I think a lot in informational terms. But if you look at what they're really competing for attention this is back.

"You're going to have to pay to change over to put this document down move over to go to your desktop or whatever else whereas if you're already on your desktop flipping over to your email or twitter takes milliseconds. Yes who is that. What's going on. Because i was thinking about the way. My attention span. Online spaces seems to flip all over the place. But at the same time we have this phenomenon of giant doorstop stopper books like the wolf hall series. Or you know elliott franchise trilogy. That people seem to really delight into sinking into so is it is it. Just the opportunity cost of switching tasks or is something else going on there. I mean we know that. For example task switching is costly for example if you have one person doing something like you know filling numbers out in four and they can switch over to another task where suddenly they have to listen to somebody and repeat something takes a while for people to restart this new task to figure out what exactly they need to do even if they've done it a lot before so that task switching is costly men presumably our minds. No this right so we know that even if we put the book down walk over to the computer we still have to pay a certain price to sort of change the frame in context that were in in order to do that but yeah not sure that we really know that well like exactly what it is and it'd be great if you could just give somebody pill maybe right and in fact you can do that. Motive hills one of them. I mean there are a lot of these things right so in the last ten or fifteen years. People have talked a lot about cognitive enhancements. Methylphenidate ritalin methamphetamine breaking bad fame. And things like that. I mean there's the illegal varieties but then there's prescription varieties and caffeine and things like that. So yes there is a chemistry right and of course that just speaks to the whole biology. That underlies the attention.

'Jaws' Expert Valerie Taylor Tells What It's Like to Get Bitten by a Shark
"A debate brewing over sharks Should shark bites be called attacks or just encounters as beachgoers. Witness survivors getting rushed to the hospital viral video posted just this weekend showing a hammerhead shark in Panama City Beach getting a little too close to swimmers. Some wildlife experts are pushing to rebrand interactions with the ocean's apex predator, calling them bites, negative encounters or incidents instead of attacks. I would say any time we're painting any wildlife as interested in harming humans. We're reducing people's positive feelings about them. People's desire to see them conserved and protected and increasing the likelihood that people see them as Villains or antagonists. For years. They've been the bad guys in movies like Jaws. We're gonna need a bigger coach and the Meg about a massive megalodon shark. But experts say in reality shark bites are rare and that using language like attack gives a false impression of intent. Page winter who was bitten by a shark in 2019, losing part of her leg. Told all Robin Roberts she didn't see her encounter as the Sharks fault. This situation has urged me to learn more about sharks. I didn't do something directly to the shark, but I was in his water. You know, That's his house. But Dave Pearson, who survived a shark attack in Australia and now runs a support group called Bite Club says avoiding the word attack downplays the very real danger. We can't keep sanitizing things to the point where we It feels like when you're the person involved. It feels like someone's dismissing your experience and dismissing your troller is something that's insignificant. You need to be aware that there is an element of danger out there and we call them Apex predators for a reason. And predators bite things. Even Stephen Colbert weighing in on the debate. I'm sorry, ma'am, a shark interacted with your husband's torso. He's experiencing a not being alive. Incident. Whatever they're called. Officials are taking these encounters seriously in Cape Cod, where at least 50 confirmed great white shark sightings have been reported this past month on the APP, shark tive, itty. Researchers deployed acoustic receivers to track great whites to keep people safe. It's a really valuable way to find out more about the movement of great white sharks. That's important information for the public to know when they are going to the beach. You know where they might be more likely to encounter a white shark. When you're at the beach. Look for signs of sharks. If there are seals in the water. There might be sharks nearby, because they eat seals. If there are birds flying in the air, that means they're looking for fish that sharks are also probably looking for. So if you do go swimming, try to go in pairs in groups Just be smart. Generally and also remember that unprovoked shark bites are exceedingly rare. There were fewer than 100 globally just last year at CBC's will review coming

Summer Mystery: Glacier Ice Worms Rise Again in the Pacific Northwest
"We know about the ice worms but we don't know about the ice worms at least most of us don't so we don't appreciate what an exciting time of year this is for researchers like scott hoteling from washington state university. It's time when the weather gets warmer up. They come squirming toward the light from deep within the glaciers on mount rainier billions of tiny skinny wriggling black strings that live in glaciers but died when the temperature drops below freezing but somehow survived for a long time down in the ice or replace themselves constantly. We don't know much about their reproduction and seem to surface in summer to bask in the sun but may have another reason in general their reasons for doing anything are largely on known as mr hoteling told. Npr there are more mysteries than there are solved things with ice worms. So there's a lot to learn still and maybe now that we've heard about this eager ice warm reception. We'll all give them less of a lukewarm reception.

The pandemic kicked off a resurgence of retro hobbies like bread making tie-dying and going to the drive in we explore. Why nostalgia is a natural response to crisis. I think part of what's is because there are limitations restrictions so people are searching for things that they can engage in that gives them pleasure again. We're all seeking the joy that we had to some extent. Even the innocence we had before we had to deal with this pandemic and so some people are retreating to old hobbies or old activities that they once enjoyed. It could be as simple as writing their bicycle again for taking up knitting or i don't know painting something and others are exploring new interests and reaching out to look for a new group on the internet. That might teach them a new skill. Yes it's true that they're looking for pleasure enjoying that new activity but they're also looking for social connectedness which is a highly nostalgic thing to do and they want first and foremost a sense of belonging to community and that is highly correlated stall should definitely increases the feeling that you belong and fasten.

Covid's Delta Variant: What We Know
"That the delta variant of the coronavirus Is the most transmissible of the strains observed to date in the U. S. The variant, first identified in India now accounts for one in every 4 to 5 new coronavirus infections. And there's growing fear that if more people aren't vaccinated, the variant could cause a widespread second surge of the virus nationwide. CBS News Medical contributor. Dr David Agus joined us earlier to talk about the Varia. That's a remarkably infectious virus where it is very, very easy to spread. And what we know is that two shots of Moderna advisor Offer excellent protection against it in most people, and so the problem is one shot or prior covid 19 infection Do not protect you against this variant. We have a divided country ever vaccinated. Half not so half are susceptible and we are very worried about it Spread right now about 30% of new cases are this particular strain the United States and that number is growing but certain areas of the country 70 80% of countries, others. It's very low, So in those lower areas, the trajectory is upward. And I am worried about what's going to happen Behaviors before that wouldn't cause virus spread. Now will we have to be aware So for the folks who have been vaccinated many you're looking at booster shots to offer even more protection. Do we know whether or not booster shots will protect us even more so against the variant? The clinical trials are ongoing. Now you get almost 90% protection with two shots. Advisor Modernist. I do not think booster shot you're needed there and booster shots, if they've done before six months can have significant side effects. What we're worried about is the J and J vaccine, which has slightly less immunity to start then the two RNA vaccines and there may be a booster shot required there, especially in the elderly. We should have the data on that from the CBC over the next week or two, so I wouldn't make any move until over the next few days. We have that data. You get a booster shot too soon. There are significant side effects, and I wouldn't advise any sense

He's a correspondent for the guardian newspaper and the author of how cycling save the world. The god the newspaper where. I work probably eight nine years ago. I helped set up a cycling blog. Not about sports writing about everyday cycling. And i became completely fascinated about why cycling's better for lucia in public health decline. Emergency things like that.

"He would wait a little bit more to get the vaccine. You have a high risk setting you have a low uptake. A vaccine of questions around access to information about the vaccines. What are the anterior government. Save at all of this. I asked a minister of the solicitor. General about what kind of information was made available to inmates about the vaccine and the risks and they said they actually do continue to work with inmates including in one on one context to address concerns and discussed benefits of vaccination but deep and says he did not get that kind of attention but not advocates.

If dini the realities that incarcerated people are very dependent in terms of their wellbeing of in formation not about health but also about what are going to do upon release as you know it is the responsibility of the government to provide support for people because they are in their custody and they are not doing that so you can see. She highlighted to her. Part of. The problem is disinformation vacuum in this leads to hesitancy so all of this is happening at a time. When more of the country is opening up but there are also concerns about a potential fourth wave of cova deriving perhaps in the fall. Where does that leave the prisons that you've been talking about. The big question is where that fourth wave will hit and many are worried that that will be prisons ontario. Right now has several prison. Said are experiencing outbreaks. We know for example that the outbreak at the ottawa cullen detention center already. It involves variants of concern. And that's what worries dr gary block. My biggest fear quite honestly is that if we see a fourth wave of covid it is going to happen. Settings like this it will happen in spaces where people are together and have not been vaccinated. And that's not their fault right. That is our fault for not getting in there fast enough with the vaccines and it will be a true tragedy. We see a fourth wave happening in these particular. Very high risk settings where we all bear responsibility for making sure that people get vaccinated. Valerie thank you very much. This thanks map.
