    May 2 2026-Former Toronto Homicide Cop Hank Idsinga's Memoir & The Problem of "Surveillance Pricing" His new book has already received huge attention because of explosive allegations of anti-Semitism and racism at the highest levels of the Toronto Police Service after 34 years with the force, leading the homicide unit for five of them, Hank idsinga wrote: “The High Road: Confessions of a Homicide Cop” and in its first week, it topped the Canadian non-fiction list at number 4.

    April 11 2026-The Challenges Facing Caregivers Today & Exploring the "Fat Thermostat" Phenomenon This week marked National Caregiver Day here in Canada—a time to recognize and honour the millions of people who provide care and support to family members, friends, and loved ones.

And while the role can be deeply meaningful, it can also come with real challenges: burnout, financial strain, and isolation just to name a few. Guest host Jeremy Logan spoke with Amy Coupal, CEO of the Ontario Caregiver Organization, a group dedicated to supporting and empowering caregivers across the province, to learn more about this growing issue. And Struggling with weight is nothing new. Fads to fight the battle of the bulge come and go, often with lackluster results.Is it really a case of counting calories or mind over matter? Dr. Jason Fung is a nephrologist and best-selling author. In his new book, The Hunger Code: Resetting Your Body's Fat Thermostat in the Age of Ultra-Processed Food, Dr. Fung argues that the real problem behind weight gain isn’t just what we eat—but why we feel hungry in the first place. He explores how ultra-processed foods, hormones like insulin, and our modern eating habits are disrupting the body’s natural appetite controls—what he calls our “fat thermostat.” The result?
