The Misguided Rules Podcast: Recent Episodes
Barnyard Studios and Weekend Pass Productions
Our lives revolve around rules. And for good reason, rules are the backbone of social order, but blind obedience is not without costs. This podcast is dedicated to uncovering the truth about the rules and policies that dictate and shape our lives and our communities. Moving past political rhetoric and filtered media, each week we deep dive into the rules with real talk about the impacts of policies from healthcare to education to law enforcement and beyond. Through open and frank discussion, and backed by science, we pull no punches in bringing you the facts, you decide what to do with them.
In this final episode of the series, we'll lob headline after headline, scandal after scandal, and liberal policy after liberal policy, all pointing to the real racist culprits in this country. It is true what they say, 'people who Iive in glass houses shouldn't cast stones.'
In this episode we will continue to explore race as a political tool and the liberal-conservative divide on all things racism, including critical race theory. We'll look at how CRT has been woven into the public education system starting from kindergarten and why teaching five year olds to look for physical differences might be counterintuitive and counterproductive. Unless of course, the whole purpose of this racial hyperawareness is to ensure society remains divided for the many generations to come.
The leader of our country likes to remind us time and again what a decrepit lot of racists we all are, and oh, by the way, if you happen to be an unvaccinated Canadian, not only are you racist, but you are a mysoginistic extremist to boot. How your medical status got dragged into this discussion is a real head scratcher for most of us. (And how on earth this makes one mysoginistic is just beyond comprehension any way you slice it). In part 1 of this 3 part series, we'll discuss the meaning of racism (yes, the science) and then we'll compare a country full of alleged racists against a government with a long history of very real racist policies that are now being used against everyday folks like you and me like a weapon (case in point, you racist mysoginistic extremist!)
We continue our deep dive into the patient to provider virtual medicine movement, the politicization of your healthcare and the very real dangers of accepting this virtual doctoring directive carte blanche. The WHO provides guidance to be sure, but is Canada listening, or are we marching to our own drummer?
Attending your doctor's office is a thing of the past. In the name of public safety, governments around the world have convinced us that going to the doctor is a danger to your health, virtual healthcare is the solution in the midst of this pandemic. Not all of us are convinced. In part one of this two part series, we will examine the new norm in client-to-provider healthcare and some of the unexplored consequences of virtual medicine.
In episode I, we talked about the political excuses, er' response by the provincial government now that the Covid 19 pandemic has shed the spotlight on the gross injustices being perpetrated against seniors in long term care homes. In this episode, we'll examine an alternate explanation, one that has absolutely nothing to do with the political discourse, at least in this country. What is really going on in long term care that money can't fix.
Abuse and neglect in long term care homes is a huge problem. And an injustice beyond measure. In part 1 of this 2 part series, we will examine the current political talking points amidst public outrage and highlight some pretty major differences in legal landscapes between jurisdictions in Canada and the US.
This is the last instalment in the diagnosing death series. In this episode we'll look at the very real religious and cultural factors that make brain death such a controversial diagnosis.
In this episode we'll dive into the politics of the brain death diagnosis. The cost of brain death and the commoditization of the human body when brain death is diagnosed.
With the advent of medical technology in the mid-twentieth century, diagnosing death has become more difficult and more controversial where brain function is the determining factor. There is division within the medical community itself and between physicians and the families of loved ones on the grounds of science, politics, and religion. In part one we will examine the science of brain death and efforts to unite the global medical community in diagnosing brain death.
In the final episode in this series, we round out our in depth exploration of the political decision to cancel elective surgeries and healthcare services. What does it all mean to the physicians and care providers trying to do best by their patients amidst this pandemonium and what does it means to patients and families with health care needs now and in the future.
We continue our investigation into the fallout from the decision to cancel elective surgeries and health services in 2020 due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
The ripple effects from the decision to cancel and postpone surgeries of all types deemed 'elective procedures' are immeasurable. Add to that the cancellation of routine health services deemed 'non-essential care', and diagnostic procedures for things like cancer and we are on a very dangerous path and a difficult recovery with many casualties along the way. Covid 19 has wreaked havoc on health systems to be sure, but was it really the right decision to push everybody else out of the way and do the reasons provided by our political leaders hold up to the science?
Carefully crafted political messaging, measured responses, partial facts. A deep dive into the science, or lack thereof, behind the covid virus, vaccines, what we are being promised and what is actually being delivered, and what the future holds for all of us. The emerging truth from the research and what you really ought to know.
