Willing to Listen - South Bruce Proud

Join me in a brief overview of the draft willingness report and my personal thoughts on the study overall.

The NDP Candidate in the 44th Federal election for Huron-Bruce joins me to discuss her views on nuclear power and the proposed DGR.

The Independent Candidate in the 44th Federal election for Huron Bruce joins me to discuss his views on Nuclear Power and the proposed DGR.

Mathieu Saint-Louis, a representative from ANDRA (France's equivalent to the NWMO) joins me to discuss briefly the DGR project in France.

I am joined by Pat Jilesen, long time Bruce County Farmer. We discuss his experience starting up a hog operation, and we discuss how the issues faced in agriculture are similar, sometimes the same, as those faced by the nuclear industry.

This episode features an interview with Tracy Primeau, retired Shift Manager at Bruce Power.  It's a longer than normal episode, but covers 2 very important topics; Indigenous Reconciliation and Women in STEM.

I discuss some of the misconceptions and narratives being spun around the relationship between nuclear and agriculture, and discuss how the two industries can and do flourish in the same vicinity.

I am joined by John Ives, a representative from the Power Workers Union, where we discuss unions and job opportunities within the DGR project.

Barry Parsons joins me to discuss his takes on the deep geological repository as a South Bruce resident.

In this first short episode, I talk about my take on the community narrative of "Strings Attached" to the Well Being money from the Nuclear Waste Management Organization.

Tony, Larry and I have an informal chat about the potential benefits we see the DGR project bringing to South Bruce and Bruce County.

In this episode I am joined by Andrew Parmenter, a geologist for the NWMO. We discuss all things rock, give a history of the target formation for the DGR (the Cobourg) and discuss what properties make it the target formation.

In this episode, Dr Alexander and I go through his article “Ten Reasons Why the Nuclear Industry Cannot Bury Its Used Fuel Problem.”

In this episode, I am joined by South Bruce resident James Needham, to discuss his thoughts on the proposed DGR project.

In the first of a new series we're calling "Community Connections," I'm joined by Ryan Ernewein. Ryan is a South Bruce resident who has agreed to be my first community resident sharing their expectations and fears surrounding the proposed DGR project.

In this episode, I am joined by Brad Greaves. Brad is the Chair of the Ignace Community Nuclear Liaison Committee and recently gave a phenomenal presentation at the Ignace Symposium which you can find on our Facebook page. 

Tony and I finish up our conversation with Dr Doug Boreham about radiation.

Tony and I are joined by Dr Douglas Boreham, Professor and Division Head of Medical Sciences at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine. We discuss multiple aspects of radiation.

In this part 2 of my conversation with Dr James Conca, we discuss some of the misunderstandings surrounding nuclear and where some of the fear comes from.

I am joined by Dr James Conca to discuss the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), the deep geological repository in New Mexico for transuranic waste products.

On this episode I am joined by Dr Peter Keech, Manager of Engineered Barrier Science at the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO). We go through a brief overview of 4 out of 5 barriers for the proposed DGR. We do not go over the rock formation in this episode, as it is not an engineered barrier. Each barrier, including the rock formation, will get a more thorough episode at a future date.  

Welcome to Willing to Listen - South Bruce Proud! In this episode, I am joined by my WTL co-founders Larry and Tony to discuss why we started WTL and the South Bruce Proud movement.
