Waterloo – Becoming the first Canadian to hold the role, Waterloo NDP MPP Catherine Fife was elected to lead the Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians (CWP) at the organization’s conference in early October. Fife becomes the 8th chairperson in the organization’s history.
According to the group’s website, the CWP is the network of women members of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association’s Parliaments and Legislatures and is a means of” building the capacity of women elected to Parliament to be more effective in their roles”. Fife notes that it is a “huge responsibility” but adds that “this is the kind of work that also gives me energy”.
MPP Fife says she hopes to focus her efforts around access to education, democratic engagement, human rights and climate change.
The CWP over 3,000 Women Parliamentarians, in over 180 Commonwealth national and sub-national Parliaments, .
This show features an interview with MPP Fife, who is excited to take on the role which she says is “a great opportunity to learn, and take things to the next level.”

Michael Bell, who performs as David Bowie in The Bowie Lives talks to Bob Jonkman about the show, the fans, the band, performing on Hallowe’en, seeing David Bowie live, how young people didn’t know about David Bowie, why the name is The Bowie Lives, and some of the other work Michael does.
Michael Bell gives some background of The Bowie Lives. True Bowie fans hate the idea of a Bowie impersonator, so Michael doesn’t pretend to be David Bowie; he’s a sound-alike. But the fans come around, even the hard-core fans. There’s a great band, and it’s challenging material, from folk tunes to industrial metal. Michael covers some of all the Bowie periods. It’s about celebrating the genius of Bowie.
11m20s
Michael introduces the band. The shows were booked a year ahead, so the band members can do their own gigs. The band is of a calibre that they don’t have to rehearse, maybe one paid rehearsal in the spring. If they’re adding a new song they can rehearse it during a sound check.
18m28s
Bob asks if the show on October 31st is a Hallowe’en show. Michael says there’s no better show for Hallowe’en than a Bowie show, there are endless costumes people can wear. It’s the first time he’s playing a legion hall, but he’s fond of playing a small stage. Michael tells Bob of Bowie Fest at the Toronto club Ground Control.
25m02s
Michael calls the show “A Bowie Spectacular”. It’s an all-encompassing experience, bringing in the audience. It’s art. Michael saw David Bowie perform live when he was coming off the road in the 1980s when he was running an entertainment magazine, The Wire Megazine. It was a hardcopy magazine then (and still availble online today), and Michael was reviewing shows. He was able to get in the pit and photograph David Bowie. That show was opened by Nine Inch Nails and many younger people left after NIN, they weren’t familiar with David Bowie. In The Bowie Lives Michael performs some material that was popular in the UK, but not here. It’s a two-hour show, Michael needs to shave seconds off some songs in order to squeeze in another. It’s a set repertoire, so that the segues are smooth and the show is tight.
33m44s
Why The Bowie Lives, why not David Bowie Lives? Michael was inspired by an Elvis sign, “Elvis Lives” on someone’s rooftop. Bowie was a performer whose music will never die, proved by younger people who are now coming out to the shows. “The Bowie” is a state of mind. Some people pronounce it as “the lives of Bowie”, which Michael thinks works too. Bob thought there might have been intellectual property rights over the name. No-one has challenged them about the use of David Bowie’s name and stage presence. Elvis impersonators have had copyright issues, but The Bowie Lives is flying under the radar.
42m43s
Is there a The Bowie Lives album in the works? No, but Michael has considered releasing a DVD of a performance. Michael doesn’t think there’ll be an album.
Bob is impressed by Michael’s accurate rendition of Heroes. Michael says that was recorded during the Covid shutdown. He talks about the devastating effects of the Covid shutdown on performance musicians — session and studio musicians weren’t as badly affected. Music is Michael’s full-time job, although he does some other work such as consulting on festivals, and writing for his magazine.
51m15s
Bob asks about Michael’s political career. Michael was a federal Green Party candidate, and is very involved in his community. Happily, most Bowie fans lean in the same political direction as Michael. But that’s not necessarily the case for other shows that he works on. Bob and Michael talk international politics for a while.
55m20s
Michael recaps the details for the show on 31 October 2025 in Cambridge, and Bob gives the end credits.

CKMS station friends at hepcatswing.com are back with us with material for one of our fill in time slots. This new content are the playlists of the volunteer DJ’s at their Monday weekly community dance.
dan kellar Kitchener, ON – A proposed development 1700 Strasburg Road in Kitchener’s ward 5 received preliminary approval at the planning committee meeting on October 27th. Saying “the people we hire and create these reports are experts… and no offense to any of the delegates, but we are not all experts… we didn’t all go to school for this” ward 3 councilor Jason Denault supported the decision.
The project would see a nearly 40 acre plot of land which abuts the Huron Natural Area (HNA), transformed into a 10 unit industrial space. The proposal will next be considered for approval at the city council meeting on November 10th.
Representatives of the grassroots environmental groupProtect Huron Natural Area delegated at the meeting, alongside other concerned residents, and the project proponent’s consultants. City staff recommended the approval of the project
This show features interviews with Ray Angod and Yvonne Fernandes Protect Huron Natural Area. CKMS News asked the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests about the inconsistencies between the survey information and the report, but did not receive a response.
Jane Ann McLachlan talks about writing in a variety of genres and reads from her latest medieval historical fiction novel, The Lode Stone. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZR9RDQD
Tolu Oloruntoba discusses his approach to writing poetry and discusses his latest poetry collection Unravel (McClelland and Stewart, 2025) before reading a selection of pieces from the work. https://www.tolu.ca

Ray Angod of Protect the Land Surrounding Huron Natural Area tells us about the wildlife in the area surrounding the Huron Natural Area, the plans for “light industrial” development, some history of the site. Ray and Bob discuss zoning, the surplus of industrial land currently in Waterloo Region, and the delegations to the Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committee on Monday 27 October 2025. Ray tells us about reading through the 500 page environmental assessment report, and finding inconsistencies and contradictions which he will be pointing out in his delegation. Bob wonders about provincial interference in land acquisition, and Ray talks about the effects on the Huron Natural Area itself, notably the increase in light, noise, and sodium in the ground water.
Ray Angod explains what needs to be protected at the Huron Natural Area — meadow and wooded lands are to be replaced with industrial space. Huron Natural area is located in Ward 5, the south end of Kitchener. It’s not the Huron Natural Area itself that’s being developed, but the area surrounding it. There is a buffer of 20 metres between the wetland and the area slated for development. “Light Industrial” is warehousing, not smog-producing manufacturing. There are snapping turtles, regionally significant wildlife, and it’s a coyote habitat. Ray explains why a coyote habitat is important. The area is also a habitat for the Midland Painted Turtle. The environmental impact study indicated there were 96 depredated turtle nests (where eggs had been dug up), but did not count the viable turtle nests that are buried in the soil. There are also 70 species of birds in the subject area, not just in the Huron Natural Area itself. It is considered one of the seven wonders of Kitchener.
9m40s
Ray tells us the history of the land, how it was bought and sold in the past, and its previous intended use as a hog slaughtering plant. The land had been prepared for development, with trees and vegetation removed, but since the plant wasn’t built the land returned to a somewhat natural grassland that happens to be ideal for turtles and the Grasshopper Sparrow. There was a plan in the 1990s to expand the Huron Natural Area, but plans changed, and areas to the east, south, and west have been developed. Bob and Ray discuss zoning issues. Adding more industrial space in Kitchener makes no sense, there is already a vacancy rate of 7.5% for industrial space, second-highest in southern Ontario. The area is twice the size of the land for Conestoga Mall, but there’s no demand for it. Talking about the recent history for land demand.
16m35s
There will be a meeting of the Strategic Planning Committee on Monday, Ray and others will be delegating to the committee. The intent is to raise doubt for the councillors, will this Ray tells us about the Change.org petition, and the Linktree. Ray encourages everyone to register to delegate at the Committee meeting on Monday; today is probably the last day to register. People can get involved by signing the petition, and contacting their councillors.
What does Ray want to see? Just leave it as is, there’s nothing wrong with the way it is now. Recapping the surplus existing industrial space. Do the developers have customers lined up? Ray would like to know that too. Ray points out the many roadside signs advertising industrial space, showing the surplus of available land. Ray gives his history in doing local advocacy. Ray says the environmental assessment reports are easily found online, but inaccessible in that they’re long, technical, boring, and full of jargon. He’s spent many hours to figure out how it all works, and finding inconsistencies and where the gaps are. The environmental assessment studies are paid for by the developer, so many of the inconsistencies are in favour of the developer. It’s too expensive to commission their own environmental assessment report, and the area is all fenced off with “Private Property” signs. Have the councillors read the environmental assessment report? If not, Ray will point them towards certain areas that they should focus on, such as the turtles, and the Grasshopper Sparrow. The report says the area is not suitable for the Grasshopper sparrows because trees will crowd them out, but also state that trees won’t grow there. There are peculiarities with “complexing” the wetlands, or expanding them. The authors contacted the Ministry of the Natural Resources to discourage them from looking at complexing the wetlands. But other studies contradict their reasoning.
35m30s
Was there provincial involvment in getting this land developed? Ray has not seen evidence of that. Bob is reminded of the Wilmot land assembly, which was definitely instigated by the province, and the Region of Waterloo joined in.
37m05s
How will the industrial activity in these lands affect the Huron Natural Area itself? Ray says the immediate concerns are noise and light. The proposal says the 20 metre buffer will block noise and light. It’s shrubs and trees, and maybe an enclosure fence. People who live there say that noise has increased considerably since development started some years ago. There is now an audible industrial hum in the natural area. Bob is concerned about industrial runoff, Ray says that salt for parking lot maintenance is a big concern. Sodium levels in our water supply is already high, and getting higher. But there is no enforcement for salt use, there are no fines, there are only guidelines.
Ray recaps what he will be doing on Monday (delegating to the Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committee). Bob looks at the various websites: the petition, Instagram, Facebook, and the Linktree. There are lots of resources listed there, including Ray’s article on Melissa Bowman’s website, Citified. Ray tells us how he will be presenting to council, Bob reminds the councillors of the upcoming municipal election in 2026.
49m28s
There has been a lot of community support. There are a few dozen people who stay in constant touch. People are from all demographic, young, old, blue collar, white collar, left and right politically. Ray says the best way to get involved is to start with the petition. People can leave their comments on the petition, and Ray will use some during his delegation.
51m09s
Bob gives the end credits.

Are you worried about probate fees? You might be focusing on the “little tax” while ignoring the “big tax”—the massive income tax bill that can vaporize 50% of your hard-earned estate.
In this crucial episode of Rethink Your Retirement, host Kanwaljit (Sunny) Kochar exposes the “Big 3 Estate Planning Explosions” that destroy family wealth and relationships.
Learn how common, well-intentioned mistakes with Beneficiary Designations can create a devastating “tax bomb” for your loved ones. Discover why adding your child as a Joint Owner to your home is a “legal pickle” that invites creditors, triggers new taxes, and can lead to devastating family conflict.
Finally, Sunny reveals how the “Empty Bucket” problem—lacking cash to pay the CRA—can force your family to sell the assets you wanted them to keep, like the family cottage.
This is “Empowerment Through Knowledge” in action. Sunny provides clear, actionable strategies to defuse these landmines, protect your legacy, and secure your “Total Financial Freedom.”
What’s up, y’all? As I promised last week, tonight’s show is The Clean Up Hour’s dedication to D’Angelo, an absolute titan in music, who leaves behind an unimpeachable discography. His passing at just 51 is a tragedy unto itself, and doubly a tragedy for the entire musical canon. RIP D’Angelo.
