Joe Carson spent nine years as the executive director for regulatory modernization. His realization was that red tape reduction will never happen if left to any level of government. He stepped away to pen his thoughts with a straightforward, understandable and workable approach to address what he calls the “horrendous inefficiency in the administration of government” and joins Gormley to talk about it.

11:00 – Hundreds of stories of abuse have come out in recent years, thanks to the bravery of Canadian athletes. Kim Shore says that the past 18 months have shown how people are unwilling to accept sports in their toxic state and are working to prevent the maltreatment of future athletes. She joins Gormley to share the call to action to understand these stories as not just sports-isolated, but issues of child abuse and infringing on human rights.
