a good morning today on changes we have a special feature the program was produced by students in values media studies department so stay tuned for that in just a minute but just before we hear the show we'll mention that if you are following the paris climate change conference one good place to check is the guardian dot com and they have some interesting related content there as well such as an article headed nothing can compete with renewable energy says top client scientist sounds good just a note as well that today is giving tuesday which is meant to be a day when you focus on giving to your favorite charities rather than shopping for stuff doesn't matter which charity you choose just go for the idea and there is a conference coming up in the ny mole this thursday december third just in the morning from ten till twelve fifteen it's called water scarcity a new reality on b c's west coast it's a networking event co hosted by the b c water and wastewater association and the polis

event that looks at drought management in b c today what changes are on the horizon with the water stane ability act and two islands community perspectives north cowichan and north salt spring island pa there will be several presentations but for more information and to register visit b c w w eight dot org and next week on changes margery and i will talk about i'm suzanne we'll talk about the pope's and cyclical allowed that o c e on care for our common home along with some seasonal music from argentina which is where he's from now here are risky like nuclear seemed to completely just pull over middle east military involvement and i completely agree with a low well i think the u s has made many mistakes there were also just been mapped frankly speaking as far as military capability goes in dealing with the problem so that the u s deal with it for  europeans should help in the turkish middle eastern country should help deal with that but if anybody should deal with it it should be them but can't do much and i don't think much should be done let them fight it good and why i say that he was the only one candidate to specifically declare this in a referendum the fifty one percent to fifty one percent of votes separate currently that is a legislation i disagree with that personally because i see the something as simple as smoking pot as being a victimless crime if there were a victim it would be personal such a thing cigarettes or you know the risks associated with cigarettes or consuming alcohol i don't think that there needs to be a criminal law in place to prohibit people from smoking american politics but to my understanding it seems to take place fairly quickly in the states that were legalized seemed to sort of happen overnight as far as i was concerned but i suppose there was advocacy for those things for years however each circumstance is different i think taking the time to gather more information necessary such as you know signs of impairment or you know methods of you know police officers being able to detect impaired drivers on the roads sort of thing there needs to be more research there needs to be the appropriate amount of time taken for the research to be done  for everything to be discussed i would expect it to be within the next year next year or two definitely have very hard to miss you time for remember really hoping personally for the same kind of time frame you know our last question i just want to ask you to have do you see this these changes being harmful for children you think it makes it easier for children to get once it'll actually be legalized the frankly i think that that argument holds no weight i think that just because alcohol is illegal and just because tobacco is legal doesn't mean that it gets in the hands of children there would be laws and legislation set in place to restrict ages at a legal level and then there's obviously going to be instances where you know children and up with the substance and there has just like you know situations arise with alcohol and tobacco however given the way it is now i think also marijuana is such a common drug that i'm sure that it's in a lot of the homes of children and children don't even ever see it because parents are responsible with consumption on some well that's all the time we have  manufacturing supervisor for chairman and curators so trudeau has promised to legalise control and regulate marijuana which he argues will greatly diminish the criminal activity currently attached to this market however he has yet to outline the system through and and exactly when the system will be in effect so if trudeau legalize marijuana will there be a separation between the missile side and recreational side like in regards to housing how it's sold i'm actually one hundred percent sure on what is going to happen i think that there should still be a medical aspect in the fact that you need to get what's tailored for you and the great dosage and people to know you really get anything that you need for your illnesses and it's specifically targeted to what you need and there's a lot of information recommendations that are c s r or looking online can help you get exactly what you need and otherwise you wouldn't know necessarily going to dispensary or just getting it like you don't have the proper dosage and there's no advancements that are crazy with c b d pills and droplets and s and pretty exciting to see the future and it will be exactly what you need for you so today we'll be talking about the recent twenty fifteen federal action that had taken place  we'll be talking about justin trudeau our new prime minister on the lot of talk has been reese has been going around over the fact of the legalization and regulation of marijuana doing p c oh thank you for coming in today and talking to us do you think this was more of a political and social change to better kind of this economic stature or more so to appeal to the young voters so before he was elected do you think that canada's current prohibition on  pot has it been working and was it working before personally in my eyes i think it goes both ways it was definitely a grab to younger voters i guess to go out there and get in to the voters boxes and so they have some say in canada but at the same time it's reaching out to wards bettering our economy i guess i would say with trudeau and having as much as he wants to spend on everything else and canada having this economic boost a guest so to say from the legalization and regulations of marijuana i think it will help in the long run in boosting our economy at the same time strict laws will be of method to punish those who sell pot to minors or out of the framework established to sell it legally and in doing so this will eliminate the money being circulated in most criminal organizations do you agree with that right i do agree with that sound you look at anyone nowadays a lot of people in i guess young penitentiaries are in there for selling some sort of drugs maybe it's not marijuana maybe it is hard drugs but it definitely stems down to people who sell marijuana on the streets for their own personal profit if you do regulate it and just about everybody who has parkinson's has a different set of symptoms and like how has this like impacted your life you're dealing like because i'm not as coordinated as i once was another strong as  the benefit you or a support group is basically a spontaneous group of people are going together to meet once a month and of each other support and exchange ideas exchange already know exchange ideas and you realize that you're not really on your own there are others who are doing it too and so so that their partner is in your work state too that got to do more i'm lucky house steps to the dike we'd go pick the potatoes after the farmer had gone through with the machine if you've ever watched the so once upon a time how do you know it's down in steve austin which is the sort of my stopping beautiful yards when we sold our house that was they had just started building what we called the monster houses which means they built a house on the lot the entire lot and there's absolutely no yard  years ago we live right across from nacelle i have watched the lights of the houses being built not chill go higher and higher up that mountain and get more and more i believe we're one of the few houses that still have their trees the trees are seeing more and more of the development that killed orisha and and other places on the lower mainland so they start to come here as more and more of the land is developed is conor edwards you're listening to a special episode of changes on one zero one point seven c h l y in ny mo hope you're having a good day next we have alice hobson interviewing her house me shonda oh what are they talking about i don't know how is it different from your whole heart and a whole new student to parents oh yeah even if you're like forty oh really yes it's over there it's like it's one family oriented so you kind of take the whole family oriented thing it's like if you were li i'm involved in we get to know teens in our community we build relationships with them we mentor them and do various different programs to enrich the lives of the we are faith based organization or christian ministry and we're about meeting kids where they're at and sharing our faith with them why do you believe young life is so important because teenagers it's a being a teenager is a critical time in anyone's life there's a lot of change a lot of decisions made and it's an easy point to get onto a bad path so to have positive role models in your life to have people that care about you outside of your own family is something that cannot be undervalued and i think you know for sure  i definitely felt like that when i was a teenager and i'm sure many a whole that's great yeah i'm sure many of our listeners feel the same way is listening to this who knows maybe only my instructor clearly you think young life is a very important thing so what kind of social impact do you think young life has or it could have on the nine as a community socially i think the most important thing that young life does is it brings tears from different social groups within the school together for one thing like making a community that reaches beyond different cliques in the school to have different types of kids interacting with each other and because they're all part of young life they treat each other differently they treat each other with more kindness than they would normally so when we have young life in a school and once it's effective and working great then you see a change in the schools culture so for those interested then how can people get involved with young life or support young life you can go check us out online at young life don't say yeah you can email everybody thank you for listening hope you enjoyed it and we'll see you next time changes on one of one point seven c h l why my name is conor edwards our next interview is dirk plant speaking with joy google or u e media department please enjoy keep in mind though that this was recorded out in the field so the sound call they might not be as good thank you had already been spell checked and we're going to honest is a real value for spontaneous sharing of thoughts and a discourse community where we're together talking about things sometimes a good question is as important as a good we just started out this year so it's really fairly new into how many members before we were both thirty five students and that's always growing we're just starting to do workshops now we'll do a couple  to become a member it's two dollars for students and five dollars for a non student how often do you meet a vote right now we're just doing it because we're just starting out we're had our first meeting where we see where everyone was out and talk to our members and then we're having a workshop this thursday and then speaking basics why don't whine because a lot of most of our members are in the beginning stages so after that we'll have another meaning to just gus and lay out all the other workshops of what we need to do to become familiar with the hive and become beekeepers and by the end of april when the semester is done and team up with mentors to be able to help out the students and be comfortable enough to help their own hives by the end of april what gold would you like to see come from the club so the end goal for the club is to get as many beekeepers as possible for members that do want to keep events would like to see in the spring time is we're going to build the boxes so those people who do want to keep  are able to have it be box ready and be able to keep bees on their property if they do wish to do so in the future i would also like to see businesses being teamed up with students who aren't able to keep bees on their property because maybe they have an a partment or wherever and team up with those businesses who want these maybe on a rooftop in that conversation went down this wow perfect if people want to contact you about this what's the best way for them to do the you i'm sitting here today with my friend rebecca world begin day and she's been a beacon for two years and i'm just going to ask questions about what it's like being me and so hi rebecca well hi tony and what made you decide to become begin actually i saw the video earthlings and it's about everything that happens to animals nowadays and after seeing it the next day i and it's also like for me personally it's healthier i feel a lot better since eating saying yeah sounds good and actually watch to watch if things are as well but i'm only a vegetarian myself for now but you're very persuasive so we'll see what happens and so is it is it hard being a vegan specially here and imo because the people here in this also live in i'm also is it hard here to get the things you need well it depends and actually it's a bit difficult here on campus to find you can food so well you always have to prepare your own food or you just fries and yes that's a bit difficult but i can get along pretty well so it's ok that's good yeah that sounds really great so what is no other than finding food especially here on campus just in general what's hard about being beaten is that you have to probably listen to a lot of critics from other people i'm guessing they could never not meet or a cheese or something like that and yeah it's hard for me because i don't understand why people say that when they have never tried before  try not to take it personally there is a lot of prejudice for example eggplants have feelings too and all of that but yeah for myself it helps to say that i'm doing the best i can and i can save the whole world eventually people will find out eating less meat or eating less dairy might help saving the world as well and might be healthier for them but i try not to f responsible about it because that's when you can actually pretty set and desperate yeah try to keep your distance from the yeah that sounds great in really proud of you for what we're you're doing  what is starting to see this particular field and study about children's book the beginning when i decided to take the program you know i was like anyone looking into different programs and what i wanted to do when i wasn't really sure what i was sure about is you know i wanted to have children one day and i felt like i didn't know much about you know children in their development and i could read a couple books but i felt like taking a serious course in early childhood education you know it builds on your confidence and makes you feel like you know a lot more than you would definitely something that i feel like if anyone you know decides the in their future they want to have children or know they're going to be a caregiver take driving and you have to go through tests in order to see if you're qualified so why not to reste children right you know you get such a big important part of our society and and they are the future of our world  so we should have the background knowledge as to you know how to deal with how to you know just for our own good and for their own good and to make things go smoother when you're communicating with your  greatly influence how parents treat their children for what they expect i don't think children and how how trees or children or even just in cannot out you'll find so many different ways of raising your children and you'll find so about your platform that you are currently working with and why it is important to you absolutely so my platforms on promoting self esteem and self confidence within young girls and now having a strong sense of self esteem and self confidence leads to personal success r self esteem that big of an issue no it is still self esteem in my opinion is a huge issue nowadays if anything more than ever because today media is so dominant in our lives and girls have all these expectations that they try to live up to and try to be someone who they are not but in the end they just need to love themselves and be their own kind of beautiful so i try to promote that mexicans are holding workshop where the workshops that you set up hoping the young women and girls who come to them well my workshops cover a lot of areas first so for self esteem and self confidence we do little exercises are out there what societal pressures girls face what challenges in maybe their school life their face seen for aleisha and realizing what their insecurities are and why they're there so i usually just talk with the girls and we do these kind of fun exercises for instance sometimes will pass around cue cards and girls will write one thing they like about themselves and one thing they don't like about themselves and then i'll read them aloud anonymously and what this exercise usually does it shows how much girls have in common i think a lot of the times girls feel like they're alone but really we're all going through the same experiences so just realizing that connectedness really helps and to help better themselves also that's actually really good to hear things like this going around that are able to help young girls and women who have this problem not even them it's also a good it's also a good reminder that it's not just them that have these problems and children who are starting to go through puberty as walls and especially in those areas when a lot of people have their self esteem issues when that kind of starts yeah at all just in my platform i mainly focus on girls because i'm a girl and i can relate to them better but for sure mention be excluded from this topic they have i definitely their own issues that they're challenged with it's good and do you have any advice for those who may be struggling with self esteem or so or they know someone who is absolutely just the biggest advice i could give you is to love yourself be proud of who you are embrace yourself for the qualities do you have and if you know someone that's going through a hard time just offer your support be there for give them called meant on a daily basis and let them know that you see their progress and that they're working towards being a better volunteering and things like that i had to say in a safe place a place people can belong and that is i mean there is definitely the feeling that you walk in there it's a very open and friendly kind of atmosphere you yourself have been
