Doing it For Yourself

What does the ordinary person do to protect themselves when regulators fail? How can you know what is safe to eat – or safe to eat just a little – or safe to eat if you wash it? There are groups trying to fill in the gaps left by poor regulation. The Environmental Working Group in Washington publishes a list of the Dirty Dozen – fruits and vegetables most contaminated with pesticides. But they also publish a list of the Clean 15. And both lists are updated if things change and a dirty one becomes clean. And then there is the book, Slow Death by Rubber Duck. When it was published in 2009 it wasn’t just the quirky title that made it a best seller around the world. The book revealed how daily life is bathing us in toxins that accumulate in our tissues, are passed on to our children and damage our health. That was a wakeup call to people all over the world. In this episode Bruce Lourie and Rick Smith explain why they decided the best way to demonstrate how chemicals get into our bodies was to experiment on themselves and document it in a book.

The carbon tax is misunderstood and controversial. The federal government's price on polluting is one of its strategies to fight the climate crisis. But is it working? And is it fair? Max Fawcett talks to a Saskatchewan farmer who feels rural Canada and, in particular, agriculture, is being hit too hard by the tax. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Beyond the Headlines: The India Canada Diplomatic Storm

On this week’s Mortal Giants Sandy Garossino and Vina Nadjibulla discuss the deteriorating relationship between Canada and India which became pubic after Prime Minister Trudeau in September 2023 accused India of involvement in the killing of a Canadian Sikh leader in B.C. The Indian government called the accusation ‘absurd’. Then both governments expelled diplomats. Garossino and Nadjibulla take us step-by-step through the escalating rhetoric between the two governments and the events that led to the RCMP holding a news conference on Thanksgiving weekend in 2024 to lay out their investigation that the Modi government created a network of to follow and harass and perhaps even orchestrate the murders of Sikh separatists in Canada.
