MY BRAIN IS HANGING UPSIDE DOWN (BONZO GOES TO BITBURG)
Annielean and Richard reading from Annielean’s book: Poems of Divine Power II, chapter: “The Cord of Embrace.” Page 70. With Guest Speaker, Pastor Maha.
Waterloo, ON – Waterloo Region Council is pushing back against a new provincial governance model that could allow one person to serve as both Mayor and Regional Chair.
Cambridge Regional Councillor Doug Craig introduced the motion, warning that combining the two roles could create conflicts of interest and concentrate too much executive power in one person under Ontario’s Strong Mayor and Strong Chair systems.
Waterloo Mayor Dorothy McCabe backed the motion, calling the combination of Strong Mayor and Strong Chair powers “a recipe for disaster.” She also argued that Strong Mayor powers have not necessarily accelerated housing approvals.
Craig and McCabe also criticized Ontario’s decision to appoint the next Regional Chair rather than have the position filled through an election.
Waterloo Region residents have directly elected their Regional Chair since 1997. Under the province’s new governance rules, Ontario will appoint the next Chair following the 2026 municipal election.
Regional Council passed Craig’s motion unanimously. The resolution will now go to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, local MPPs, area municipalities and other affected regional municipalities.
In this special edition of CKMS Community Connections Jim Stewart returns to speak with Bob Jonkman about the operational budget strangulation experienced by Ontario hospitals, the impending implementation of two-tier, private health care in Alberta, and the rally at Noon on 1 September 2026 at the office of the Hon. Bardish Chagger, 100 Regina Street South in Waterloo, to convince her and other Liberal MPs to enforce the Canada Health Act to stop the privatization of our public health system.

Dave was visiting Montreal so Haley pre-recorded a segment about packing up her things and moving to Kingston, which she will be doing before the end of August. And Dave sent a playlist of influential tunes from days gone by.
Haley called in for this show from the fine town of Kingston, Ontario, where she will be living for the next year while completing a program at Queen’s. Haley played a composition she made as part of the Sandhills Lawn Games Club (a Shalaka Jadhav project), an event to reclaim the playing of games in public spaces. We then talked about Soundscapes, played some field recordings Dave took over the years, and explored the work of R. Murray Schafer, inviting listeners to engage in some of the “Ear Cleaning Exercises” Schafer detailed in a book called “A Sound Education: 100 Exercises in Listening and Sound-Making”.
JahanviNoorManahilLuma Jahanvi, Noor, Manahil, and Luma from Youth in Food Systems talk to Bob Jonkman about the YFS program, the markets and the gardens, high school volunteer hours, how the program is set up, their plans for the future, learning to garden, educational aspects of gardening, agricultural careers, spreading their gardening knowledge, leadership paths in YFS, and they all offer advice to next year’s students coming into the program.
The guests introduce themselves, and what Youth in Food Systems is. Luma lists the locations of the markets and the gardens, and tell us what they do there. Manahil, Jahanvi, and Noor tell us what they do at the markets and the gardens.
10m08s
Jahanvi, and Manahil tell us how they got involved. Partly it’s the compulsory 40 volunteer hours that high school students need, but that’s only the start.
12m40s
Luma is not a volunteer but a program assistant. She tells us how she got involved. She loves gardening, and wants to support the youth in the program. She tells us more about the program: 50 youth, six to seven in each garden, and seven to eight at the markets. There are four program assistants. Funding comes from some of the partner organizations listed on the YFS website. When the program ends Luma will continue going out the gardens. She’s flexible about entering a leadership career or an agricultural career.
16m40s
Noor, Manahil, and Jahanvi tell us about their plans for the future. Bob asks about getting their hands dirty in the garden, but they’re OK with that.
22m40s
Manahil tell us how she learned to garden. Luma tells us about the educational aspects of the program.
25m25s
Bob explores agricultural careers with Jahanvi, the effects of knowing where food comes from with Noor, the funnest thing that Manahil has learned from the program, and if Luma has been in the gardens and got her hands dirty.
31m22s
Bob asks if the gardeners have used their skills in places other than the YFS gardens. The YFS garden beds are at the schools where the gardeners go to school. They’ll join the school garden club to continue work in the gardens.
39m13s
Bob asks Luma if there is a path to leadership for the participants, she expects the current gardeners to come back as program leaders. Bob asks about the structure of YFS, it’s a small team, only in Waterloo Region. Seeds of Diversity is the main organization, YFS is a part of that. The need for volunteers continues after the program ends. Luma says pay attention to YFS Instagram page @youthinfoodsystems, also Cameron Heights Eco Club’s Instagram page: @chci_community.garden. Sign-up for next year’s program may begin as early as March. You can also join later in the year. Jahanvi tells us of Volunteer Waterloo Region, which also directs people to YFS. Applying to YFS is easier than applying for a job.
44m20s
Manahil is definitely coming back next year, Noor will do this until she graduates. Jahanvi is feeling the stress of applying for university, but will join again.
45m55s
The most valuable advice Noor offers is that students shouldn’t do this only for the volunteer hours. Manahil advises people to engage, read your e-mail. The most difficult thing Jahanvi learned is stepping out of her comfort zone. Noor says she’s an extrovert, that helps make people comfortable. Manahil says be yourself, don’t change your personality for others.
51m24s
Luma sums up the desiderata of YFS, and gives out contact info. Bob gives the end credits.
