In addition, Wynne wants Ottawa to increase funding to the Canadian pension plan so that Ontario won't have to implement provincial pension of their own.

Do you have any idea how many people are there at the funeral? Unknown Speaker 1:55 Um, if I had to put a number on it, I would say probably between 200 and 300. It's a combination of family, friends and colleagues from over the years. Unknown Speaker 2:07 Um, do you have any short stories to share? Unknown Speaker 2:10 Um, yeah, um, I believe it was Malcolm McKechnie that offered some insight into the type of person that Ken was we hear a lot about his public life. And just a little bit of insight into the clue the person actually is sort of cool. Basically, after and of the six American hostages, get out of Iran at the fleet, Paris, and Canadian Intelligence Services, briefed him on, you know, don't talk to media don't say anything to them.

Unknown Speaker 3:15 The Republicans didn't want to raise the debit limit without the things to offset it with the democrats were hesitant to cut certain budgets. So it seemed as though the routine threats of government shutdown were on the horizon. Unknown Speaker 3:26 The deal appears as though it'll raise domestic and defense spending caps and we can expect to see a change and medicare and social security. Unknown Speaker 3:33 It is not a done deal yet, and all raises and spending are to be considered temporary, but the vote may be cast as early as tomorrow.

Over the past years, he has put together several projects that have helped Ryerson build a strong presence and reputation in Toronto.

Although charges have been laid fantine nose lawyer Mark Sandler's says there is not enough evidence at this moment for court to proceed. Unknown Speaker 9:06 The Crown now has control of the case. What that means is the crown has to decide at the stage, whether or not there's a reasonable prospect of conviction and whether it's in the public interest to proceed against Mr. Fantino. That determination has not yet been made by the crown and accordingly the case was adjourned to December the eighth to give the crown time to accumulate what evidence there is in connection with the matter and make those decisions.

Unknown Speaker 21:24 Cancer causing bacon, whale poop fertilization, and studies showing rising temperatures and a possible cause of autism? Here's Michael Stolarchic with Health and Science. Unknown Speaker 21:37 Yesterday the World Health Organization announced bacon causes cancer but not everyone is so convinced that their staple breakfast can kill them. Alexandria Pankratz brings you the story. Unknown Speaker 21:48 The report from the who says that bacon may lead to cancer. According to the who bacon and processed meats rank alongside cigarettes as a cause of cancer. The report experts concluded that each 50 gram portion of processed meat consumed daily increased the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%. Norman Boyd, a professor of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto disagrees with the report because in his opinion, it leaves out a major factor. Unknown Speaker 22:21 Well, it leaves out a very important factor. And that is time. I mean, clearly if you if you sit down and eat two slices of bacon on a Saturday morning, let's say your risk of cancer is not going to be changed at all. So you have to do it over a period of time. And it's not clear to me what time they're talking about. It may well be a lifetime. Unknown Speaker 22:43 Boyd also mentioned that like most things in life, bacon is not harmful if eaten in moderation. Unknown Speaker 22:49 The current guidelines or the Canada guidelines suggest that you shouldn't have these things more than a few times a week. Like most things in moderation, and the intake of the red meat and processed meat seems to have probable health benefits. Unknown Speaker 23:03 Andre Picard, a health reporter from the Globe and Mail, published an article yesterday titled, go ahead, have that BLT for lunch. He argued that this report will soon be forgotten by the public because it also believes that parents should not be concerned about feeding their children, the century old comfort food. Unknown Speaker 23:23 I know I think parents should want to feed their kids a healthy diet. But you know, everything has to be a possible diet. I think that's ultimately, what we have to do is get people eating the way the best way they can. So I think if people are eating meat, then they should be careful about what kind of meat they eat, try and minimize processed meats. But you know, you can't realistically expect everyone to be a vegetarian and eat perfectly. That's not going to happen. So it's all about harm reduction and getting people to do the healthiest thing that's possible in their lives. Unknown Speaker 23:54 Never fear everyone your eggs won't be lonely at the breakfast table. In Toronto, Alexandria packrats. Are you listening? Unknown Speaker 24:03 Thanks, Alexandria.
