Today’s podcast: 

Part 2 of our weekend review of healthcare in Canada and possible increase of private healthcare options. Yesterday Dr. Alika Lafontaine, new president of the Canadian Medical Association. Today the founder of Canada's likely most famous private surgical clinic. 

Guest: Dr. Brian Day. Founder of the Cambie Surgery Centre, Vancouver. 

A customer dissatisfaction story of a car rental gone wrong very badly wrong. Vancouver woman rents a Yukon Denali in Toronto from Avis and developments following the return of the vehicle are off the scale. Instead of perhaps 200 km of driving in 68 hours guest was billed $8,079.76 for a claimed 36,482km driven. To accomplish this the Yukon Denali would have had to keep a speed of 536.5 kilometers per hour. Top speed for the Denali? 176kmh. When our guest complained the situation deteriorated further. VISA was no real help either. 

Guest: Giovanna Boniface. Vancouver woman who rented the Denali. 

General Lavoie witnessed what Private Larochelle accomplished. General Lavoie called in artillery support and alerted the gunners that mere meters separated his Canadian soldiers from the insurgents he wanted hit. No CAF soldier has received a Victoria Cross since WWII. We're told Australians and Americans awarded their highest military honours to soldiers who fought in Afghanistan and these soldiers have personally reached out to Private Jess Larochelle, who has still not entirely recovered from the wounds he received in that battle.

Guest: Lt. General Omer Lavoie, CAF Command Officer in the battle on October 14, 2006.

Nationally prominent Canadians sign a two page letter carried in the Globe and Mail challenging Bell for the removal of Lisa Laflamme as CTV national news anchor, charging sexism and ageism. What is an employment lawyer's advice to Bell Media today?  - And the issue of 'quiet quitting.' Employment lawyer warns of the dangers and possible pitfalls. 

Guest: Howard Levitt. Employment lawyer. Author: The Law of Dismissal in Canada.
