Sheshahmun was inexplicably drawn to a small, dark stall. Out of the shadows appeared a stooped, elderly woman. She opened her mouth to speak, but Sheshahmun could not hear her. She beckoned the young girl to come closer. Being only inches from the woman’s face, Sheshahmun could smell death and something else she could not quite put her finger on. Though repulsed, she refused to move away, knowing deep down inside her, this old woman had something important to say. “Sheshahmun daughter of Hury and Nefra, you are venturing into great danger.

Alberta Politics.

It continues to be a cause of conversation. Whether t’s a leadership race, or an election, or a GSA.

The clip you heard was from Jason Kenney. He announced yesterday his new UCP party that they were opposing Bill 24. You heard the major reason why. I’ll play it again.

Today Rachel Notley

And this Agree or Disagree: The Podcast is discussing what happened.


Where did Kenney get this wrong?

Where have the NDP got it right?

Where did the NDP get this wrong?

What is not working with Bill 10?

Are there any concerns about Bill 24?

Online Dating.

Have you tried it? Perhaps you are one of many who have met your significant other online. Whether t’s EHarmony, Match, or another one.

Or, you have had some negative experiences. Especially if you are women..

Blogger Jon Millward created 10 fake OKCupid profiles with similar sounding usernames, with the same written profile, personal stats, level of education, etc. The only difference? Each account had a different photo of a man or woman of varying attractiveness.

• The women as a group received over 20 times more messages than the men.
• The two most attractive women received 83% of all messages.
• The two most attractive women probably would have received several thousand more if their inboxes hadn’t have reached maximum capacity.
• It took 2 months, 13 days for the most popular woman’s inbox to fill up. At the current rate it would take the most popular man 2.3 years to fill up his.
But it’s not just the messages. It’s the content in these messages. Not just the words. It’s the pictures.

We are currently going through a series on the #MeToo conversation. And if we are doing this topic justice, which is the intent, we need to talk about this. The online harassment of women.
To help us discuss this we have Casey Logan.From her Twitter; Dating Columnist for the Calgary Sun, printed nationally on occasion. Perpetual optimist, perpetually single. Sarcasm really needs a font. Opinions are mine.

Topics we cover include;

-Reactions to MeToo.

-Can Online Dating dating sites put a stop to these messages?

-No means No.

-Pick Up Culture.

- Dating Profiles.
-Casual encounters and safety.

-How we as a public approach online sexual harassment.

-The difference between quality dating columns and clickbait.

Suicide. Mental Health.

It’s not a comfortable topic. It’s not an easy topic. So if you hit stop, I respect that.

But’s it’s something we do need to talk about. We are talking about it more.

Programs like Bell Let’s Talk and series like 13 Reasons Why and other social media campaigns have made it a more open topic. But there is more we can do.

According to an article posted to the Centre for Suicide Prevention, the numbers in Alberta specifically, and although down, are above the the national average. And with current economic factors not in Alberta, but many places around Canada, this is obviously a major concern.

My guest today is Wanda Reinholdt. She is the writer and the director of a short film called Are You Listening?.

Inspired by the Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation & The Empathy Program, community leaders and young people create conversation, listen and look for solutions to mental illness in youth.


Topics cover include;

The premise.

How did you as a cast and crew deal with this topic?


The positive’s and the negative’s of Social Media.

Societal’s view on mental health and addiction.

The stigma of sllence and the jokes around the topic.

Parents and kids conversation.

The presumption that the strong can’t be “weak”.

Bullying. What’s being talked about and what’s not?

Defintion of bullying.

Audience response, filmmakers responsibility, and how do we avoid glorifying this topic?

I would like to recognize some other people as well as being awesome. There are many that go day by day doing some amazing things and don't get the recognition they deserve.

So, I thought let's maybe recognize some who are. Perhaps you know someone who deserves it.
