The Harm of Misinformation

In this episode Cory, Lisa, Brandon, Basit, Rene, guest host; George, and the always amazing Dave cover a few stories that range from fun to infuriating. First Rene covers some silly martial arts stuff, then Lisa talks about David Stephan and a wellness expo that pulled him from being a featured speaker. Basit talks about Georgian College starting a homeopathy program and then pulling it after some backlash. Cory talks about a religious leader who blames the victims of Larry Nassar, and Brandon talks about the recent change in the Canadian anthem to make it gender neutral. Our excerpt this week isn't from a book but is a Facebook post about the recent trial of Gerald Stanley for the murder of Coulten Boushie.    Here are some links    Just For Fun Rene’s Story - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etEhr7mkJYg&feature=share   Woo Report Lisa’s Story - http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/david-stephan-son-meningitis-death-speaker-wellness-expo-1.4530355   https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/father-convicted-in-sons-meningitis-death-a-featured-speaker-at-wellness-expo/ar-BBIYCBf   Basit’s Story - http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/health/georgian-college-diploma-homeopathy-pseudoscience-1.4529339    http://nationalpost.com/news/canada/a-diploma-in-magical-thinking-critics-want-funding-pulled-for-ontario-colleges-homeopathy-course    https://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/ontario-college-plans-program-in-homeopathy/    Religious Nuttery  Cory’s Story – http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2018/02/09/christian-pastor-the-larry-nassar-scandal-is-the-fault-of-immodest-gymnasts    Politics Brandon’s Story - http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/politics/anthem-bill-passes-senate-1.4513317    Coulten Boushie links   https://www.facebook.com/robfeist/posts/10160217096300571       http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/what-happened-stanley-farm-boushie-shot-witnesses-colten-gerald-1.4520214 https://today.duke.edu/2012/04/jurystudy   http://rabble.ca/news/2018/02/all-white-jury-runs-justice-trial-gerald-stanley   https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/a34e3p/colten-boushie-the-gerald-stanley-verdict-shows-theres-no-justice-for-indigenous-peoples   https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/a-hostile-verdict-for-colton-boushie-473692743.html   https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/the-stanley-verdict-and-its-fallout-is-a-made-in-saskatchewan-crisis/article37945105/   https://walkingeaglenews.com/2018/02/12/indigenous-peoples-declare-faith-in-canadas-justice-system-dead-at-151/   http://thestarphoenix.com/opinion/columnists/cuthand-we-can-only-ask-for-justice   https://www.facebook.com/david.richards.58555/posts/10156069045691291   http://www.michaelspratt.com/poadcast-legal-matters/2018/2/12/gerald-stanley-colten-boushie-and-justice   https://www.facebook.com/tessa.hatheway/posts/10155741842216141   https://www.facebook.com/nmccorkindale/posts/10156370522855166?pnref=story    As for the rest you can contact us at [email protected]   Follow the show on twitter @brainstormpod, check out the facebook page at facebook.com/brainstormpodcast, or join our discussion group; The Brainstorm Podcast Discussion Group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1562304800464606/ or email us at [email protected] for your email to be read on the air.
