Good Morning #Canada
This AM #CBCRadio provided an update to a program launched in January by Peterborough Regional Health Centre. The Streamlined Treatment and Evaluation Pathway (STEP) program was intended to reduce wait times and improve medical treatment for Emergency patients. After 6 months the PRHC reports that 1,400+ patients were treated for minor ailments without impacting emergency staff
Here's the original STEP announcement.#CanadaIsAwesome #Healthcare

This is how I like to get all my news and information in 2026. Writing it all down should help me sort, cut, and review my media diet. Maybe you'll find this useful too - if you like what I like anyway. This mega list is sorted best to merely good, starting with best.

#CBC on #CBCRadio had a great piece this morning about an #AutismNS #PokéCommunity club told with humour, sensitivity and with a real first voice perspective from the participants. I hope they put the segment online so I can share it. Great #radio #ErinMacInnis #xp

Good Morning #Canada
A few weeks ago our local #CBCradio host was interviewing an debt counselor, likely due to the arrival of Christmas credit card bills. The segment reinforced the data that Canadians carry high levels of debt, unfortunately among the highest percentage of income worldwide. Mortgage debt, according to ##StatsCan, is flat to slightly declining, likely because new home purchases by younger Canadians is down, but car loans, personal lines of credit, and credit card debt are all up in 2025.
Our government continues to try and respond by offering tax credits and supplemental payments which invariably get sucked up by corporations. They have to change the game - build public housing or invest in leasehold or cooperative homes, build public options for utilities, internet, food or other necessities. Invest heavily in public transit and subsidize it so that it's low cost or free. Remove corporate profits from necessities.#CanadaIsAwesome #Finance

Good Morning #Canada
My morning routine includes #CBCRadio with my coffee and this morning they had an interesting segment on Canadian youth returning to church. According #StatsCan 2022 data, 22% of Canadians ages 15-24 attended religious services at least once a month. That's a significant increase compared to ages 25 to 64. Angus Reid found that positive views of religion by #GenZ adults grew from 35 to 40% between 2023 to 2025, while views from every other generation significantly decreased.
This led me to read several news articles from late last year that reported on these studies, one of which is linked below. It appears the trend became noticeable during and after COVID lockdowns. The words of multiple interviewees tells me that young people's were looking for community and human interaction with something grounded with a sense of morality. That's positive even if you don't believe in her holiness above.#CanadaIsAwesome #Hallelujah

Even worse when you've just woken up and are still in bed.
Montreal's #CBCRadio just played an older smartphone alerter tone– and they played the WHOLE jangly tune, which felt like it went on forever.
Weird - it's like you can still feel it ten minutes later. That combo of tense, *action required* instinct, but then there's no actual phone, then the sense of affront that they did that to us.
A jerk move.

Supreme Court plucks last hope of saving B.C. ostrich flock from cull
https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/supreme-court-plucks-last-hope-of-saving-b-c-ostrich-flock-from-cullThis is probably the right decision legally: yes, the government should have the right to cull farm animals if they have reason to believe they're a source of a serious disease. That said, maybe CFIA could show mercy? Avian influenza hit the farm in December 2024, so even if a cull then was right, maybe it's unnecessary now.
(The #ostrich story was the lead news on #CBCradio yesterday morning...)

Good Morning #Canada
Happy #Halloween to all those Canadians who enjoy dressing up, and today it's totally normal. But remember, don't go into the old shed with all the sharp farm tools.
Today, I am sharing one of my favourite radio episodes narrated by the late Stuart McLean. For 20 years, #TheVinylCafe radio show aired weekly on CBC Radio and was written and hosted by the late McLean. The radio show featured stories are about Dave, owner of a secondhand record store called "The Vinyl Cafe", and also starred Dave's wife, Morley, their two children, Sam and Stephanie, and assorted other characters. If you fondly remember The Vinyl Cafe, then this episode may spark a memory. If this is your first exposure, I warn you that you may crave more.I first heard this episode in the lead up to Halloween over a decade ago. It's about a man who is terrorized by his sister's doll, in his youth, and into manhood.

A car was dropped from a plane for an ad—but the parachute failed
"Then everyone went silent. The car's chute wasn't opening. The car started falling a lot faster than the skydiver. Everyone just stared as the MGB smashed to the ground.
The skydiver landed beside the brand-new MGB, which was now a completely flattened pancake."

@ottaross #CBCRadio has gone the way of @cbcnews, morphing into #FourthEstateFilth. It’s so disheartening to see/hear our national broadcaster / media so completely missing the mark. Or perhaps, deliberately missing the mark. Some of their stuff is good but a lot is bias, slant, opinion and not fact.
