Roy Green Show Curiouscast

Today’s podcast:
Just released Dalhousie Agri-foods laboratory study shows almost 60% of Canadians regularly eat food beyond its 'best before' date, with 23% doing so regularly. Among Millenials 41% believe they have become ill after eating potentially unsafe food products in the past year. And Canada's food sector falling behind that of the U.S. in wholesale and industrial prices. Might Canadian companies pull the plug and exit Canada for the United States? 
Guest: Professor Sylvain Charlebois. Director Dalhousie University Agri-Foods laboratory.
 
Jew-hatred continues to roil across Canada. 
Guests: Melissa Lantsman. CPC Deputy leader and Jewish Toronto MP who had a bitter exchange with PM Trudeau during Question Period when Trudeau responded to a challenge by Lantsman by accusing Conservative MPs of "standing with people who wave swastikas." 
And:  David Sachs. Jewish Federation of Ottawa. After leaving a Muslim-Jewish interfaith event on parliament hill, Sachs was identified as Jewish by pro-Palestinian demonstrators and was swarmed, requiring a police escort to leave the area. Sachs is engaged in combatting antisemitism by the Jewish Federation of Ottawa.
 
Global News: "B.C. to ban drug use in all public places in major overhaul of decriminalization."
Premier David Eby on Friday made a formal request to Health Canada for changes to its exemption under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act as the 3 year experiment with decriminalization falters.
Guest: Dr. Brian Conway. Medical director and infectious diseases specialist at the Vancouver Infectious Diseaes Centre. East-side of Vancouver.
 
A report released on Friday by Statscan shows 8.7 million Canadians, or 22.9 per cent of the national population reported some level of food insecurity in 2022. An increase of almost 1.8 million people from the previous year. 
Guest: Professor Valerie Tarasuk. Lead investigator of the University of Toronto's household food insecurity research program PROOF.

While taking calls after our interview with Prof. Tarasuk, we spoke with a man identifying himself as Derek from Edmonton. He told us about a family he knows in rural Alberta struggling so greatly with food insecurity that the parents often skip meals to make sure their kids can eat.
The story touched Roy's heart, and the hearts of our listeners.
Guest: Derek, a caller from Edmonton.
