    Crew Roundtable Bites - Ep8 - Fake News and Real Research
    Dec 22 2017


    “Fake News” is the zeitgeist of social media! It is incredibly easy in our always-on, connected world to spread lies. Even respected news organizations fall victim to fake news. Legitimate journalists sometimes knowingly spread fake news. When they do, and are found out, punishment is swift to maintain journalistic integrity by the publisher of those fake news reports.
    What about news spread by people who do NOT claim to be journalists? What about bloggers, facebook posts, random tweets – is there a way to tell what is fake news, and what is a legitimate news report? How does a news consumer discern between honest reporting which can in good faith report an erroneous fact, and a full blown intention to deceive by knowingly reporting falsehoods?
    How does one root out truth in a seemingly overwhelming pile of lies?

    Crew Roundtable Bites - Ep7 - Right to Die
    Dec 15 2017


    Gino and JR discussed death education in episode 4 of Crew Round Table Bites. In this episode we further explore this topic, discussing living wills and debate Canada's medically assisted death legislation. There is strong support for this legislation, as well as equally strong opposition. We breakdown the law, explain it's application provisions, and discuss it as best we can.
    We reference the case of Terri Schiavo, and the nearly five year legal battle between her husband, her parents, and the state of Florida. The Schiavo case eventually wound up before the Unites States of America Supreme Court. This case serves as a warning to everyone the benefits of having your life support decisions made ahead of time. Speak for yourself while you are able.
    Do you believe there is a right to die? Make yourself heard!
