What a great idea. When we go out to restaurants lately, my family and friends are often upset when they request a favourite California wine to find out it can’t be served in Ontario restaurants. We used to support Ford, but no more. He has become both a bully and a not-so-bright clown. He has never heard of taking the high road, like most bullies.
I've just been reading the book "The Great Cholesterol Myth" by John Bowden. It discusses canola and explains that it was designed to increase omega-6 levels in order to curb LDL cholesterol. However, studies have found that canola oil does not significantly reduce cholesterol levels and provides omega fatty acids in a form that the body cannot effectively use. Canola causes inflammation, and since the body can't use it as fat, it seeps out of the pores, worsening the risk of sunburn.
So I really think they should have kept canola oil as a lubricant, like it was intended for the motor industry, and not thought that because it was made from plants, it was safe for human consumption. I for one avoid any seed oils like the plague and only use tallow. Besides, based on this book and others as well as various research papers, LDL cholesterol is produced in the body independent of your food consumption and makes up 80% of your brain. The real culprit of heart disease is HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. This would have been known if the medical community had listened to Ansel Keys years after he fabricated the 7-country study, which pointed fingers at LDL cholesterol. I guess money talks, and no one wanted to listen unless they were getting paid.
I wish doctors would understand this. Many elders are on statins, depriving their brains of much-needed cholesterol and killing them with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease .
I was put on a statin about 10 years ago; they told me it was precautionary. But at the time I did not have high LDL cholesterol. What happened was my entire ability to think declined, and so did my testosterone levels. So the doctor gave me more testosterone in the form of injections. It did not help, and the company I worked with put me on permanent part-time because I was making mistakes and losing focus in mid-conversation. My brain felt like I could no longer connect to things.If that is what a statin does to people, then there are millions who are essentially zombies, their brains clouding over with no way to correlate information or even comprehend conversation or text. For me, it was like the drug sucked out my brain.
I have since gotten off them and actually changed my entire way of eating. I just found that at every turn the doctor kept telling me how I was cheating by not doing what she wanted me to do for eating, exercise, and lifestyle. But I was at the point of recording everything—proportions and all of it. And still the doctor continued with how it was my fault. Meanwhile I got sicker; I was developing heart disease and had the marker for diabetes. And all it amounted to was more sugar being consumed.
So I thought if I am already screwed with what the doctor is telling me, why not do exactly the opposite of what she was prescribing? So I gave up all carbs and everything and completely went to a keto/carnivore diet. I ate until I was full and felt full for days. And when I went into the doctor before, I told her how I had achieved the glowing health she told me I looked like, and she praised whatever I was doing to look so healthy. Until I told her I no longer follow her advice but went to animal fats and no carbs. She flipped out and cursed me, but it has been years now, and I do not need to see a doctor; I feel fantastic. And in my last blood work, they told me based on my levels it would be impossible for me to ever get diabetes.So I figure the doctor protests because I am their meal ticket as long as I am sick. When I get better, they can't have that.
Thanks for all the info. Much appreciated. On another, somewhat related topic - again about Ford - he's been bashing the grocery stores who sell booze but now don't want to deal with empties and returns. My question is why doesn't the LCBO become the primary vehicle for the return of empties? The have a monopoly on hard liquor sales and are found all across the province. Rather than spend millions on producing a glossy magazine maybe spend that money and set up a bottle and can recycling program.
‘Cons’, PP, Ford...lolll, this party has done nothing for decades now...comical, blah, blah, blah PP, Ford...react, do nothing when in power. Canada is broken, but why? Xenophobic - bigoted – Marxist - Commie - kebek controls the nation, Ottawa. 100s of billions stolen out of Alberta and Sask., BC, Ont. since the 1960s, 70s. Equalization (money laundering into kebec) became entrenched in his commie charter = Proud kebek communist Pierre Trudeaus constitution of 1982. Since then, 25 years of Liberal governments have made things worse. 18 years of 'Conservative' governments, the exact same thing. Kebeks Charter = 10s of billions stolen out of Ottawa yearly and funneled into quebec and other metis (they are not french) – towns and companies, all across the country every year, all disguised as grants, subsides, equalization, transfers, bilingualism - (code for french) – only outside quebec while kebec bans our language, history = bills 22, 178, 101, 96, multiculturalism - (only outside kebec), massive government growth, control, censorship, taxes and debt. Canada now just liberals masquerading as conservatives, the rest, communists masquerading as liberals. ’French power’ in all provinces. They are revising, eliminating our BNA history all over the country as they rename all things English, Scottish... Election fraud? YES, guaranteed. Why? Well simple, they lie about everything else. Welcome to Marxist - commie Canada where your vote is meaningless. Why? Bigoted = Socialist = kebec runs the nation. This IS the problem, and No party, NO ‘leader’ will touch it. ‘Cons’ Poliver, Ford ?...nothing, not a word. “First quebec, and Ottawa and then the entire country…” ‘french power..." PET. $ Seriously, how do we get these lying, crooked, corrupt greedy metis bigots out of Ottawa, Queens Park...? We have no-one to vote for. Liberal, Tory, same old story. Repeal the charter. Stop all immigration now. Deport. Kick kebek out = Fix Canada. 2nd amendment and castle law now. F our governments. They are the problem. $$$. They have allowed all of this. Decades in the making. Liberal, Tory same old story, all lying, greedy parasites. Stop all immigration now. Deport. HELP
I appreciate the effort that Mr. Lilley makes to understand the frustrations of western Canadian canola producers but he misses the target by a Toronto mile.
Canola is a food commodity traded on futures markets and farm operations move the commodity into the trade through a combination of futures contracts, sales contracts and basis pricing at grain terminals. In the grand scheme of things, canola, canola meal and canola oil move within normalized trade agreements and are not directly subsidized sales.
ALL of the recent trade battles with China over canola are framed within political manoeuvres that China is using to manipulate policy and politics in Canada. It's all fine and well to stand up for the Canadian auto industry and an EV production line that only exists in Liberal minds, but the collateral damage is significant, wiping millions of dollars worth of equity from the balance sheets of farmers all across the Prairies. That's real money and market opportunity lost through political issues beyond the reach of farmers to fix.
To date, the Liberals have been doing a splendid job at nothing. In fact the normal Liberal talking heads don't even want to talk about canola because they know that automobiles will always come first, regardless of the consequences.
Totally agree. I'm usually in agreement with Lilly but it's way out of line to say that China is a bad actor so just go and find another market. I'm no expert in canola marketing but I suspect we can't just go and "find another buyer" without a significant sacrifice on price assuming it's even possible. Should B.C. find another market for its coal because China is bad? I thought the switch to EV'S was driven by the drive to fight global warming not to create an industry in Ontario that doesn't currently exist. If global warming was the concern we should be grateful to China if their willing provide the world with EV's at a loss. This is a clear case of harming one region for the benefit another.
I enjoy your writing and full comment podcasts. Congratulations on being objective , and having different perspectives.
On your podcast with Solomon you mentioned you would raise the question to Premier Ford , on the policy that the crown has and it should be changed. Changing the policy may result in less prosecution for home owners defending themselves family and property.
I am URGING you to do so at the most appropriate and earliest opportunity
I have a soft spot for Betty and her 1950's vintage Chev and GMC light duty trucks.
My Mom and Dad drove a '50 Chev 1/2 ton when they were first married, and as a young couple it had to make do until funds would permit having a car and a truck. Their truck was the same colour as Betty and we have the pictures to prove it. I wish my Dad was still alive to show him Betty...it would have put a smile in his heart.
I listened to much of the lengthy discussion and thought that your friend, Solomon Friedman, needs to advise our AG Sean Fraser, who said that Canada is not the Wild West. Fraser is as close to being an imbecile as Ford is to being a bully. They both lack much-needed and more substantial legal minds with a greater sense of urgency about Canadians as people worthy of respect and who have inherent rights, often debatable in this country.
I somewhat disagree with not lifting the ban in Chinese EV's.
Not too many people can afford an unreliable EV, the insurance on an EV or pretend that there is a market for a used EV.
As for Chinese spying on the EV, if you own a Dodge Ram, the are countless folks out there writing great tunes that get rid of the emission controls, give you far greater gas mileage and help with transmission issues.
Give those folks a few months and the Chinese EV will not be a spy machine and the vehicle will run far better.
What a great idea. When we go out to restaurants lately, my family and friends are often upset when they request a favourite California wine to find out it can’t be served in Ontario restaurants.

And best products to spoil, oil and buff in love 🫶🏻
Betty is beautiful!! Worthy of upkeep and

Always a good read Brian!
Fun read.. congrats on the 2nd place.. pretty good.
Flood the market with Evs. Like they do with all their other cheap products.. hard to buy anything not made in China.. glad the cars are on hold.
The castle law .hope to listen.. to the podcast. But yes, where do we draw the lines..if thry dont want to get hurt..dont rob a home.. simple..but
Doug Fords mantra is for the people. If he said nothing they would complain.
200 people lost their jobs restructuring or not.. that's hard! Jmo

Ford is acting like spoiled king.
His decisions are personal and petty. They have nothing to do with the interests of Ontarians.
I bet $100, the bottle of whisky was put on someone's expense account - paid for the the Ontario government, paid for my the Ontario taxpayers.
Let's literally, pour money down the drain.
He need to be deposed ASAP.
