Andre Picard, Author, Globe and Mail
Andre joins Eric to talk about his latest article, “We’re aiding and abetting homeopathic quackery. He explains how, on April 1st, the Ontario Homeopathy Act came into effect – something he calls ‘undiluted quackery.’ To quote from his article, “Homeopaths believe that the water molecules retain a memory of the original substance, allowing nano-doses to trigger a healing response in the body.” Picard says “None of these concepts have any basis in biology, physiology or medicine – and, this does not stop practitioners from making sweeping claims about “medicines that respect the wisdom of the body.”
12:30 – Chainsaw threat
Rene Bruemmer, author, Montreal Gazette
It’s a serious case of road rage turned into armed aggression charges against a Quebec man who will appear in court today in St-Jérôme. The man, caught on video, threatens a family in their car with a chainsaw, turning it on and off and pointing it at the car. Children can be heard screaming from the back of the car. The 37-year-old man with no prior record, was arrested at his residence on yesterday at 3 p.m.
