NOW and NEXT

Today on Now and Next:

• ·You thought 2022 sucked. The DOOMSDAY CLOCK is closer to Midnight than it’s ever been. The clock’s second hand was reset this week by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ …It’s 90 seconds to MIDNIGHT…the closest it has ever been to the symbolic midnight hour of global catastrophe – namely a nuclear war.
  • In case you’re wondering, the clock was set at 17 minutes to midnight in 1991. That followed the fall of the Soviet Union.
• As expected, the BofC raised interest rates yesterday…but some interesting analysis by Professor Ellen D. Ross at Wilfrid Laurier University. “The reputation of the Bank of Canada will be undermined if the public believes that it’s pounding away with a hammer that is not needed and causing much hardship in the process.”
• It was a year ago yesterday, the first COVID 19 case was diagnosed in Toronto – a good seven weeks before the pandemic was declared in March 2020. News today from Canadian Press “A new report says misinformation about COVID-19 contributed to more than 2,800 Canadian deaths and at least $300 million in hospital and ICU visits

AND, we feature a wide ranging discussion about the gender wage gap and the cultural perceptions that make it a tough nut to crack. We sit down with Eleanor Beaton from SafiMedia.

  • Bell bails on this year's social media engagement for Let's Talk. An admission, perhaps, that the Twitterverse wouldn't have been kind to Bell Media?

I know we said we were pausing Now and Next until the New Year, but today is something of an anniversary for us at SSN.

As we noted last week, we're wrapping up our first full calendar year with the Story Studio Network team. And today marks one year since I gave it my full-time, undivided attention. It was December 19th, 2021 when I wrapped up my tenure as host of the Newstalk 1010 Weekend Morning Show.

It was a wonderful ride, so I thought I'd share the memory. Today's episode features the final hour of our Virtual Open House on the Sunday morning show and it kicked off with a visit from Santa Claus!

Today on Now and Next, we meet Tom Hoppe. Tom is a Canadian military veteran and host of The Most Painful Podcast. It's produced by Story Studio Network for the Chronic Pain Centre of Excellence at MacMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.

The CPCoE team was established to conduct research and help improve the well-being of Canadian Armed Forces Veterans, and their families, suffering from chronic pain.

Tom will tell you the "pain point" often happens when a vet leaves the military and transitions to civilian life.

Description
Today on Now and Next, we sit down one on one with Jeff Musson, Executive Director of Coding for Veterans. Hundreds of Canadian military veterans are transitioning to a civilian career with some exceptional job prospects after completing the coding program offered by Coding for Veterans and the University of Ottawa.

Jeff says it's not all that surprising to see military vets gravitating to cyber security.

These are subjects covered in Jeff's podcast series - 1 Click 2 Cyber Chaos.
