The Clean Fuel Regulation of the Trudeau government analyzed by the Parliamentary Budget Officer. The PBO calls the CFR "broadly regressive" and says its price increase for gasoline and diesel will by the time it's fully implemented in 2030 be more hurtful to lower-income households in Canada. Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault calls the PBO report "unbalanced" and Gerald Butts, Justin Trudeau's former advisor ripped the report as "incompetence on climate change." - As well, Guilbeault accused the PBO of an 'unbalanced modelling approach" in the "analysis of the price of pollution." PBO report shows most Canadians will be worse off in the federal government's imposed carbon tax. - Plus, what is the expected cost of servicing the $1 trillion-plus national debt?

Guest: Yves Giroux. Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO). Says "I can understand that people are not happy when we underline that government action will have repercussions, and in this case, costs, but I stand by the analysis we provided."

In 2013, England's chief medical officer warned of a health "armageddon" as bacteria learn to overcome antibiotics and new drugs aren't available to counteract the situation. She said "antibiotics are losing their effectiveness at a ratte that is both alarming and irreversible, similar to global warming. TGhe apocalyptic scenario is that when I need a new hip in 20 years I'll die from a routine infection because we've run out of antibiotics." Ten years later the World Health Organization warns of AMR as a top 10 global public health threat. AMR is "antimicrobial resistance." It is the same issue Professor Sally Edwards warned about in England in 2013. Projections are that by 2050 AMR will cost Canada's healthcare system $7.6 billion. The British medical journal The Lancet showed that in 2019, 1.27 million deaths were already caused by AMR. Between 2010 and 2019, 18 novel antibiotics were introduced across 14 develope nations. Only 2 of these new antibiotics are available in Canada.

We'll call him Peter in B.C. A former business owner who sent me a disturbing email about an issue not talked about on radio "when China interference and Alberta election dominates". He wrote about how housing unaffordability and household debt is talked about a great deal, as are maxxed out credit cards, etc. Then Peter wrote "I hear nobody talking about all the Canadians who are ALREADY living in their vehicles. I am one of those Canadians living in vehicle. It's brutal! It's tiring. And it's not cheap. In just 4 weeks of living in my vehicle I'm exhausted from lack of sleep, I'm sore, I'm hungry, I'm job hunting feverishly and I'm watching my credit score plummet as I can't keep up with minimum payments. My little 2012 Ford Escape doedsn't have a kitchen.

I hope that despite your show's full roster, there's a way to shine a little light on the plight of us who have already fallen through the cracks."

Guest: Peter in B.C. Shares his experience. Says he encouters many in the same predicament.

Today’s podcast:

Signing on again after 2+ months. Two hospital stays, 4 days in ICU and surgery. On March 31, Jeff Storey saved my life by making a 911 call for a police wellness check on me. Police officers had me rushed to hospital where E.R. doctors initially weren't sure I would survive. I have zero recollection of any of this or the three days leading to Jeff making the 911 call. Jeff Storey did what he does so well and that is make a decision and take action. Jeff stepped forward in a situation he assessed as an emergent. Too often people hesitate or don't act at all. Jeff joins me to talk about that March 31 morning and what led him to call 911.

Guest: Jeff Storey. 900 CHML program and news director. Regional PD for Corus radio Ontario
