10:00- Dr. Ian Shulman, Clinical Psychologist
It’s been a rough 10 days for those of us scared of getting on an airplane. With a pair of planes crashing, in Tawain and Algeria, and another shot down in Ukraine, yesterday it was an emergency landing in Toronto for a WestJet flight from Hamilton to Calgary. Do you have aviaphobia? If the thought of boarding a plane makes you feel anxious, breathless and dizzy, you’re not alone. Millions of people each year cancel travel plans due to fear of flying. Don’t let being scared keep you grounded. Shulman and Shift Cognitive Therapy offer a  “Flying Without Fear” program
That they claim has a 70% success rate, that those who attended the course were able to fly afterward.

10:30- Jim Newman, CEO of the Canadian Firearms Institute
The Harper government says it will introduce legislation this fall to ease restrictions on transporting firearms while making firearms safety courses mandatory for first-time gun owners. The changes were announced by federal Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney at a shooting range in northern Ontario. Under the government’s proposed Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act, gun owners who allow their weapon permits to lapse will be given a grace period to renew them.
