Having me so tell us a little more about this is this is a pretty disturbing study. It is a look the researchers dug into thousands of previously undisclosed documents meaning that these documents have been around they tested hundreds of houses from coast to coast in canada they found out that hundreds of thousands of people in this country are Drinking Water contaminated with lead its coming into their homes and the lead levels are higher or the same as flint michigan when you say flint michigan you think disaster so this is whats happening in cities from coast to coast in canada including places like montreal that you just mentioned nevermind smaller towns and a place called opal which is just outside of toronto so these are highly Populated Areas as well im going to some numbers here for you so dont mind me reading for one moment so the fact is out of 12000. 00 test since 201433 percent exceeded National Safety guidelines of 5 parts per 1000000000 now to put this into perspective when we look at the United States the National System there anything under 15 parts per 1000000000 is accepted here its 5 parts per 1000000000 so its 33 percent at an acceptable level but if we use the American Standard it drops down to 18 percent which is still home most a quarter of all houses lets. One 5th of all houses that were tested in canada are contaminated with lead coming through the taps means any water that youre showering in any water youre boiling any water youre drinking straight from the trap taps has lead in that and we know that in many of these cases a place tested or actually places where theres children like daycares and Public Schools and that means that these kids who are the most subscribed to lead poisoning are also being fed this stuff and nothing has been done about it because research when we have Research Like this come out the government here 1st of all the government doesnt test like in the states and 2nd of all these researchers that do this other than what we just found out today they dont even have to tell the residents of these homes that this is happening so thats what were dealing with its absolutely massive and tabitha believe it or not if you look at the media cycle that Canadian Media has already forgot about it it just came out this morning and its almost nowhere to be seen anymore so not only is the media kind of ignoring it which seems much like what happened here but is the canadian government going to do or doing anything to upgrade the system is anything i mean here while it may be slow we do have Government Programs to swap is there anything new on the horizon. The federal government in this country doesnt even have a program of good recommendations so they gave us a recommendation for this 5 parts per 1000000000 used to be 10 parts per 1000000000 what how much lead is allowed to go back government actually it says it here to this just a couple of weeks ago they were saying yeah were onboard with this and theyre saying but dont worry our water come back here its clean its a ok go ahead and drink it now this comes out so who do you trust who can you trust and it is a. Problem here is a big problem is infrastructure so a lot of these pipes are very old you dont know which in the city that you live in if your pipes are old or new and a lot of these governments till they dig it up they dont know whats going on underground so its one of these issues that really needs to be addressed at the highest of levels and its not being addressed we have the same issue with our native populations where they dont have Drinking Waters in parts of northern ontario and other parts of the north in this country and that was an address that youre dealing with hundreds of thousands of more people with the same kind of issue the other lead but still is Drinking Water a fundamental right or at least it should be for all human beings and thats what were seeing in a country like canada that boasts of having some of the cleanest water on the face of the planet i mean if you cant if you cant trust the clean water can i im not sure what we can trust well well be keeping an eye on this and the sort of new world in which for learning whats really in all this 5 star 56 that were getting our water from thank you so much our team our correspondent alex mileage of it of it. On nasa hopes they never have to use the system that was designed on its new c. S. T. 100 starliner a recent test of its pad abort could be a big win for its creator boeing boeing the company we want to be overseeing the safety protocols of Something Like say space travel well joining us now for the latest on this and more are to america is sara and from that so what you believe it that its been more than a year. Actual astronaut has taken off from the United States and gone up to the space station i when i learned that fact today and i was actually really surprised but theres a reason behind it but 1st lets take a look at this little test launch that happened it was actually pretty cool sight to see take a look. And there you have it its the safety test launch of that c. S. T. 100. 00 starliner there was no crew on board but that 16. 00 foot spacecraft that actually can hold up to 7 astronauts crammed in like little sardines in there but this happened out in white sands new mexico it blasted off around 7 15 am local time there 2 minutes later it was gliding back down from those 2 parachutes that you see a boeing said today in a statement that todays paddleboard test it was a milestone achievement for our c s t 100. 00 starliner team for nasa and for the american human spaceflight so a big a big win for that today and thats good. As it is sort of a win for boeing but are they is this going to be enough to sort of make all of the other other stuff go away well you know its interesting because nasa actually did they they chose boeing in space x. Back in 2014 to transport these astronauts to and from the International Space station now the reason that we havent been seeing american astronauts take off from the United States is because weve actually been paying russia like we like to look at the way youd buy a plane ticket weve been paying russia for our astronauts plane tickets up to the International Space station both companies they are years behind schedule on this and its because nasa pretty much gave for me gave boeing a 4200000000. 00 contract promising at least 2 missions here but boeing says that most of that 4200000000. 00 is going to go to help the spacecraft scheduled to launch in 2020 and boeings job ironically is going to make sure that nasa has all of these Certification Requirements for performance and safety. Do you want to check that again or yeah its actually boeing yeah oh my god it actually done really does actually going to do that and we know that boeing they have been facing big big problems 346 people were killed on 2 boeing crashes one in october 28th one in march of this year just last week we had the former chairman of the board dennis mall and where he testified before the Senate Commerce committee whether or not boeing was trying to get the 737 max in the air before the frances air boss and kind of bypassing safety regulations now that the culture of boeing was going to be heavily looked at he was grilled by the Senate Committee who was still not happy with him but he says that stuff like this is not going to happen again so well see what happens with that but as far as the space x. And boeing its kind of theyre going to make sure that everything is a ok however they will. However. Have to that from today. And whats so wait so how whats whats the next step so how did the test actually go what does this mean where would you believe it if i told you that maybe there was a little bit of a glitch in the tests today i had never heard such a thing from boeing but i actually saw this test it was actually supposed to again like as you had mentioned its a pad abort test so what it is is its if its any case with the rocket if it were to explode or what have you those 7 astronauts that are in there thats able to explode off of the the rocket in case anything you know were to go wrong and 6 detach from a malfunctioning rocket 3 parachutes were supposed to deploy. 2 out of the 3 deployed today now boeing has said that you know it was it was a deployment anonymously its not a parachute failure and that you only still need 2 out of the 3 in order to safely land however if it calls for 3 id hope youd want for 3 but for one of the actual astronauts it was actually out there today watching this test which i dont know at this point id rather walk to space but he said today is that it was really amazing because we hope we never have to use this system but in case we ever have any trouble aboard the beautiful atlas 5 on the launch pad we know that after todays test that will be able to get off safely and come back and try again a different day now the next step and this is theyre going to actually have another flight test scheduled for december 17th and from there theyre hoping again to have this crew up and running by 2020 also at the same time theyre trying to get the 737. 00 max out up kind of actually to around the same time early 2020 but they have a lot of regulations to go and actually each country is going to be able to kind of check and balance boeing and decide themselves well the 737 max will go into the air so lets say france is like no were not ready but the United States is like yeah well go with that up. Thats not going to look at the behavior when you get on when you make those plane reservations you know you can always tell what kind of plane youre on make sure you dont get out of planes or on maybe it maybe going into space yeah but im going to space to monitor yeah and check like maybe like your maps to see if its easier to just walk there because i walk to the ground you know i think thats probably a better idea at this point oh well thank you so much for your time how in the middle of us nasa boeing safety. Of a lot of top priority i can tell. Figure that there are a lot of hard to read because i think for joining us as we go to break out waters that forget to let us know what you think of the topics covered on our social media be sure to check out watching the hot pod cast now available on spotify apple music in every way the podcast coming up ill speak with veterans activist laurie rightly topping on a new pentagon report that shows the real danger to our soldiers isnt on the battlefield but 1st 27 year old chinese sabs believe me are fine art and beauty where most of us get our daily dose nutrition. Or some of this work which takes over 10 tools an hour to clean when. You mentioned it again and this is dirty so i never but the career ended clear involves using your i still have it in your computer it seems that being then also. Perhaps you sort of get things in that circumstance you could have to stop doing all of this and this is tell you lou that was the phrase my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up winning it and. I rather have very strong Magnetic Field on my card i feel it. Head. Think of it like a real heart my skin burns and that Wireless Access Point their system continues all day with our students in the schools. We are just continually bathing our citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electro small and its getting worse. I put them so. They get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Or somehow want to. Have to go to the press which was before 3 of them or cant be good. Interested always in the waters about how. This should. Thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the countrys military the decision. Every song came to a complete. The day that i was raped. You know told to shut up but theyd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life many screamed at me and he made me come in and you graham my arm and he raped me with his birthing curia if you take into account that women dont report because of the extreme retaliation its probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing thing tat happen but ive never seen trauma like ive seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended i had an almost 20 year career or chose very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of tower and violence male. Sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether thats a man or woman. Approximately every 40 seconds someone in the world takes their own life however if youre a member of the United States armed forces you are part of one small subset of world citizens dying by suicide at a shockingly faster rate than their civilian counterparts as a pentagon reports that suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States and over the past 30 years americas suicide rate has increased by 30 percent and the number of veterans and Service Members lost to suicide in just one year now surpasses the number of lives lost during the operations in afghanistan and iraq to date that means that suicide is more likely to kill a Service Member than combat so why with more treatments available for p. T. S. D. Depression depression and anxiety available than ever ever before in any other time in history are fighting women and men left to suffer joining me now to discuss this and more is better and advocate. Tapping thanks for joining me today. Thanks for having me always a pleasure so 1st i want to start is there a specific event that experts and advocates have seen as a reason for this this general optics and suicides was it 911 was a something after the. So theres no one single thing that we can point to but studies so far has shown that theres a couple of Different Things one of which is that we have an all volunteer military now so people are oftentimes being deployed multiple times in past conflicts you would deploy and then you would separate from service and you would rejoin your community now a lot of our Service Members are called up to active duty from reserve and guard units there are some Service Members who are deployed 678 times so youre seeing a compound effect of stress from some members who have deployed but on the flip side of that we are still seeing suicide from Service Members who have not deployed at all so there are other issues besides just combat n. P. T. s things like that that we talk about and so there are depression you mentioned a lack of access to services that some Service Members may need in the military is really well known for having just. You know tough in the cheese most style culture so even people who are just training at home havent deployed are oftentimes reluctant to speak out and ask for help and then the 3rd factor that this report talked about military veterans have a much higher ownership of firearms so even though not all suicides are as a result of use of a firearm because veterans in particular tend to be firearm owners in large numbers that often means that they are more likely to die in a Suicide Attempt than perhaps someone who may try overdose or Something Like that. Now the New York Times reported this week that the suicide rate for active duty troops across all Service Branches rose by over a 3rd in 5 years to 24. 00 per 100000. 00 active duty members those most at risk they have said are enlisted men under 30 over the decades weve seen an increase in suicides especially in teens and young adults when youre looking at these numbers of younger and younger Service Members could it be an indicator that were maybe consider requiring and less meant to be a little older or those going into combat situations be a little older. I think thats certainly something that we should talk about i mean any Service Member goes through what they call a service and listen exam and i hear from veterans that i speak to all the time that theyre not very thorough and so thats a challenge so in addition to perhaps having people who are a little bit older perhaps we also need to screen them a little bit better and have people who perhaps are otherwise struggling with depression or prone to it to have time to cope with that in deal with that in terms of the age issue that you raised again in an all volunteer force i think right now they are oftentimes the army didnt meet its recruiting goals last year so thats another issue in a lot of times theyre taking people into the military that would not have otherwise been accepted into service so in terms of their Mental Health again i think number one were not looking at it as closely as we should be and number 2 to your point about age some people who are younger and more prone to experiencing some of these negative thoughts and feelings and maybe dont have the emotional maturity that somebody a little bit older theyre not necessarily equipped to handle some of the things from service so yes i think youre right that its something that we should talk about its something we can should consider but again based on the reality of the fact that we have this all volunteer force and that there has been challenges for recruiting because of things. The suicide statistics that were here talking about i dont know that were likely to see it any time soon now many of the suicides when you look at the report and you look at the end the reports that have come over that come out in the last few years in 27000. 00 there are 186. 00 suicides of Military Spouses and dependents and i started to try to look around and find something that kind of gave me a better understanding of that and i didnt find a lot is there work being done to help families in this military culture where part of that being you know the pressure that youre a volunteer army there arent you know if you can just call up new people is there anything helping families that are living in that military environment. So there are some resources to help families and theres also some studies being done but i think its kind of falls into the category of too little too late thats what were seeing right now i know the New York Times article that came out identifying the fact that were seeing more deaths by suicide than we are by combat had a couple of specific examples of Military Spouses who also contemplated suicide and being a Military Spouse is incredibly stressful again weve talked about in this situation most notably when youve got somebody who has deployed multiple times their home their you know essentially serving as a single parent often times not stressful and then when your loved one comes back after serving a deployment oftentimes theyre struggling readjustment is a really really challenging process so oftentimes Military Spouses get overlooked i mean the same cultural situations apply here that are often expected to be tough you signed up for this you knew what youre getting into you know sometimes you see attitudes like that prevail and it really hasnt only been until maybe the past couple of years that were starting to see a shift in realizing that we need resources for the whole family and if we want veterans to be emotionally healthier we need their families to be emotional. Healthier to you cant adequately support someone whos struggling if youre struggling yourself so much of that comes out of the culture i feel of the Intelligence Service and in military service as well where theres this idea that if you do complain about being depressed if you do complain about these things that will have a negative impact on you and do you think that some of that is of families too that they worry that as a family unit youre looked at not just because of who serves but as a family unit and if theres some way that we the people at home could help to better help those people in those communities or support the whole anybody whos helping families deal with that sort of issue. So yeah i mean a couple of things there i mean number one yes i absolutely think that military culture permeates into the family its not just something that exists for the Service Member its something that the whole family experiences so when you raise that issue about the culture i think that thats absolutely true that people just have this mentality that asking for help is viewed as a weakness i think were starting to make some progress on that is where you have things like these reports that people are talking about studying working on solutions but again i dont think that weve made adequate process in exploring that yet so as far as speaking with people in the communities and how they can better understand i mean this gets to a greater issue too about the military civilian divide that we have its a lot greater right now than its been in any point in our country particularly when we still had the draft in place theres fewer people that are veterans themselves that know a veteran or that know a Military Spouse so oftentimes the support system that they have are other people who are also in the military and part of that same subculture where theyre perhaps reluctant to speak up and ask for help so the civilian military divide i think plays a big role in this not just for Service Members but for families as well so as far as what we can do as community as i think is just educate ourselves i mean so often i feel like thats the issue when we dont know about something which just it doesnt interest us so we turn the other way i think we need people who are willing to just educate themselves more on really what this experience is like for both servicemembers and families of just humanize them have some empathy for what these families are going through and there are all sorts of veterans nonprofits some thats focused specifically on Service Members themselves on veterans on families there are a myriad of organizations that are trying to do good work to support both and their families so there are many ways to get involved with some of those organizations for somebody who wanted to do so. I well i want to thank you for kind of walking us through this its its this is something that keeps coming up and i wish we had a better answer for it but i think it has to do with all of us coming together those people who are antiwar as much as those people who are very you know support the troops we all have a responsibility to them and i think this is one place where we can do a lot better all of us thank you so much veterans advocate rightly tapping. Thank you. It was in august of 1918 when tugboat captain john wallace no relation was bringing the house in jamba a flat bottom sailboat used to dredge sandbag sand banks in the Niagara River it came loose nearly killing 2 workers on board. It became one of the most dramatic water rescues in great lakes history and in the 102 years since the niagara scow has sat 220 yards off the canadian coast slowly deteriorating until last week when over 50 mile per hour wind speed sent the scout 55. 00 yards down river and even closer to the possibility it could finally go over the falls its flipped onto its side and a spun itself around before finding itself in its new location heres to the my agra scowl and its century long fight with the falls and if you want to see it hurry up warrant or not that my or her parks commits and says it could be stuck there for a day is 4 year old only only mama nature really knows well thats our show for you today and as my sarah list cohost intro it says remember everyone in this world were not told were left out so i tell you all i love you im so happy while it keeps on watching the hocks and have a great day and night everyone. Imagined it again and this is dirty for ever but the career and the clear vibes using your are still in your computer into the bin and also. Perhaps shes sort of getting to meet sister kids. Are going to have to stop doing all this and this is tell you the minutes must be from my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up learning it and the box. Very strong Magnetic Field held in my head. Think of it like a real hard pressure my skin burned and that Wireless Access Point youre just continues on saying with our students in the schools. We are just continually bathing our citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electro small and its getting worse.
