You too team keep it clean. What's going on is saying graven here with another video We've been streaming a lot more than usual recently, man, but I just I just been in a streaming mood, but anyway Seeing graven here with another video and in this video Some of y'all not gonna like this video. I can already tell some people get too sensitive though I can been tell that but anyway, um What we're gonna talk about in this video is is some real stuff and usually People don't like hearing real stuff. They rather stuff be sugar-coated. Well, guess what it's ain't a place for you If you like stuff sugar-coated now You see the title of the video It says the real reason that the Ravens Drafted Lamar Jackson and also the real reason the Ravens have lowered the concession prices at M&T Bank Stadium and for those of you that don't know where M&T Bank Stadium is That is the Ravens home stadium located in Baltimore, Maryland. So shout out to the Ravens Ah, I really want to go there this year. I don't know if it's gonna happen yet, but anyway Before we get into this, let me introduce myself. Me. I'm being graven vids This is my YouTube channel in graven vids and I'm a Ravens fan But on here we just talk football period so no matter what team you a fan of make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel turn your notifications on and leave a like on the video click that thumbs up button Ryan I'm doing very well. I hope everybody watching this video is doing even better than I am So and and you can also follow on Twitter Instagram and snapchat All three of those are engraving vids just like the YouTube channel all one word all together All engraving vids and just a quick side note if anybody ever want to be a part of NFL questions from subscribers Just send me a DM on either one of those three with your question now answered in the video. So What's the real reason After Lamar Jackson and the real reason that the Ravens are lowering their ticket prices I mean not the ticket prices. Excuse me the concession stand prices So like for beer for hot dogs for food for chicken tenders. I know my cousin he oh He used to love going to the games just to get those chicken tenders. So shout out to him What's the real reason they're doing that? Why would they do that? Why now? What's the point? Well? Let's let's take let's take you back. Let's take you back 2015 was The year before 2015 2014 we had Steve Smith senior We made the playoffs man Team made the playoffs made it to the division around and end up losing to New England because we couldn't close it out Defense couldn't hold it offense was going off 2015 just everybody and their moms on the roster got hurt that year Everybody got hurt. So what was the record? I think we went like 5 and 11 Definitely didn't make the playoffs didn't even come close. That was the first season and literally forever That season was done usually Ravens They don't know that they won't be in the playoffs until after the last game of the let of the after the last game of The season they usually right there in the thick of things till the very end But not 2015 they didn't make the playoffs.  I appreciate y'all. Sorry. I can't I can't look at it I can't look at the comments right now because I'm driving and it's raining too.  It was an ugly thing to watch ugly nasty disgusting Any of the worst words you could use to describe somebody offence That's what the Ravens offense was and they were that way all season long pretty much What happened or the defense was decent and special teams was great as it always is but Defense did his thing offense was just poor so then They didn't make the playoffs. I think they went 8 and 8 we went 8 and 8 right 2016 so then 2017 this past football season again offense Terrible just ugly disgusting Garbage for the first half of the season just nasty man. It's nasty Defense did his thing defense was showing out offense though couldn't hold up the end of the bargain Special teams did that thing of course, but offense. They couldn't do it. They didn't do it. It was terrible. They sucked So what happened? The second half of the season the offense woke up, but it was too little too late. It was too little too late and again 9 and 7 but the The common denominator is missing the playoffs three years in a row Why are we missing the playoffs three years in a row? offense Offense offense offense some people want to say oh defense couldn't close it out Which they didn't the defense in the in the most crucial moments of the season two years straight actually three three success three Losing season straight the defense didn't close that close out there into the bargain But the reason that it had to be on a defense was because the offense couldn't hold up there into the bargain all year Defense will usually do his thing throughout the year, but offense couldn't hold it out We look at last year obviously bingles game 4th and 12th Even though the offense was a little up and down a game But we had some drop passes shout out to Chris Moore that picked six I was watching that game the other day But either way offense didn't hold up the end of the bargain with that and then the defense they were forced to try to have to close it out and They couldn't do it the fourth and 12 we all already know that so then the year before that We know the the Steelers game December 25th Tonya the offense. They were scoring points. They were moving the ball Defense had a chance to close it out They couldn't stop Antonio Brown three people couldn't stop one Antonio Brown and Then the last successful the last non losing season before that Was 2014 where we actually in the playoffs offense goes into New England scores 14 points is up 14 Zero on New England defense gives New England 14 more points. Then the offense goes up 2814 on New England in New England Flacco was going off-season. Everybody was doing that thing. They would go up 28 14 on New England in New England But then the defense couldn't close it out but That's the story of our lives So what what is my point? What does this all have to do with Lamar Jackson being drafted with the with the Ravens lowering the The the prices of the concessions and make sure y'all leave a like on the video to even though some of y'all not gonna like this But what does that all have to do with those two things?  That's not him He's a player. He's a player but with the Ravens having found ways to lose and found ways not to be in the playoffs it seems as if it's a result of Failure and The part of the team that the biggest failure is coming from is Offense right now the NFL is geared toward offense the rules favor the offense the penalties favor the offense Everything favors the offense everything favors the offense So with that being said the Ravens The way that they draft the way that Ozzy Newsom has been running the team The way that everything has been going with the Ravens organization for the longest They're still in defense mode They are way behind the eight ball with this whole organization. They still in defense mode They haven't been focusing on offense like that So guess what that does?  What's that gonna do?  You're gonna be losing fans You're gonna be losing people that actually support your team and trust me the Ravens have lost plenty of fans and What do the fans do for the Ravens? What do the fans do for the Ravens organize the other ones that go to the games? Well, the fans are the ones at the games that buy are the food by the beer The fans are the ones that buy the merchandise The fans are the ones that'll put money toward the Ravens and any and everything that the Ravens do why? Because they enjoy their team and they enjoy having a successful team. They enjoy watching their team They enjoy supporting their team But if their team continues to put out such a bad product at least on offense if that team continues to fail So much season after season after season then it's gonna be less people supporting the team It's gonna be less people putting money toward the team It's gonna be people that are not attracted to the team and it's gonna be people that are like, you know what? I ain't even dealing with these dudes because they they let me down. They let me down they let me down so The Ravens are losing fans. They losing fans and they losing business They losing fans and losing business Because and a part of it is because Ravens fans are spoiled and we have been for the longest because we were so used so Used to success But now that we don't have it anymore They losing fans they losing fans. Wow. Look at this weather outside but So what do you do to fix that? Well, and it showed the most that it showed was in the last two games last year mainly the last game of the season Look at that bingles Ravens game Look at the highlights and I'm not even I don't even want you to watch the game itself You don't have to look at the highlights of the actual game and the players that were happening Look in the stands This is the very last game of the season and if your team gets in if your team wins this game They get in the playoffs if your team wins this game They get in the playoffs. No, it ain't no excuse that it was too cold Look at Packers Packers Stadium always packed It's way colder up there in Green Bay, Wisconsin than it is in Baltimore And I know that game was super cold in Baltimore, but that ain't no excuse Because if if somebody's a fan of the game They love their team that they're throwing on a jet and they really love their team. It's playoff time. It's playoff atmosphere Oh, they're gonna throw on about 10 or 12 hoodies throwing about 16 pairs of socks There's a gloves and go out there and watch the team play But if you look at the highlights of that game that game was so Empty so empty Why? Because Ravens fans they They're not supporting that they don't even care if it's the last game of the season and that's the season to get into the playoffs and that's because they the Ravens put such a bad product out there low expectations for the offense now just because of what we've gotten over the years and especially because of where the NFL is right now as a Company the offense offense offense offense offense everything favors the offense, but again, like I said the Ravens They don't invest any money in the offense and they don't invent. There's no excitement in the offense Thank goodness for Alex Collins because without Alex Collins There literally would have been no excitement in this offense last year Mike Wallace here and there but Consistently Alice Collins was the only thing we got to look forward to and we knew he was gonna make something happen every single week That was it that was it Alice Collins had we not got Alex Collins? I guarantee that we would have had a losing season last year guarantee That nine and seven last year. We ain't no way. We would have been nine and seven without Alex Collins. No way Impossible it was impossible. No way. No way But anyway You're losing fans. You're losing money. You're losing business So what do you got to do? You got to resort to all options, man so What did Ravens do? Oh Ravens start teasing that they interested in this guy named Lamar Jackson before the draft They start teasing it and I know Ravens They I know they they see the clicks on the different on their different articles and stuff I know watch all that stuff because that's all part of the business You have to see what fans are interested in no matter what type of business in the business it is You have to know what the people who are supporting your business what they like because that's what drives your business and With the Ravens if they put out articles They know the reporters putting out stuff about oh we're interested in Lamar Jackson. They like huh? First I know some Ravens fans didn't really believe it. They thought it was all the show But then what did the Ravens do they signed RG 3 they signed RG 3 and Then I know my boy ghetto vegan. I know a speedy-reedy 1218 she mentioned it to and there were some other people that mentioned it to not too many But there were a few but I know those two specifically They mentioned how signing RG 3 could actually Help he could help develop Lamar Jackson and of course we got Marty who worked with Vic. We got Rick Is it Rick Denison? I forget his name Whoever the assistant head coach is whatever his name is who worked with Kylan Kaepernick, I believe So we got guys on a team who have worked with Supermobile quarterbacks before and Not just Supermobile quarterbacks, but quarterbacks that change the game. Oh Greg Roman. Okay, appreciate it. Thank you Rick Denison is gone. Thank you appreciate that a lot. See that's I knew I forgot So we got guys that have worked with with extremely With game-changing quarterbacks Michael Vick and Colin Kaepernick They were game changers at the quarterback position whether you like them or not this and truck this video ain't about politics So whether you like them or not?  Those two were dynamic at quarterback Michael Vick and Colin Kaepernick and they they were so fun to watch Like I said, whether you like them or not and whether you want to admit it or not, you know deep down inside They change the game both of them both of them but with With us having coordinators that have worked with both of those guys It kind of sort of started this whole wait a minute. Maybe Maybe this Lamar Jackson thing might be true So that was the first seed that got planted. So then what happened? They drafted them Did you oh, yeah, James Urban too appreciate that Maurice. Thank you Thank you. So oh excuse me. So now Where are we? They end up drafting Lamar Jackson. So now it's like wow Ravens actually really drafted Lamar Jackson So is it a move to help improve the offense? Oh, yeah, it definitely could be But I think it's also it's also a move to improve business-wise Again, you know that your offense has been lacking your offense has been a weak weak point so now You draft the quarterback That's completely not non-conventional not your traditional quarterback all that blah blah blah stuff and And Somebody that's completely not what the Ravens organization is used to but again The most is change It's change change has to happen and for your business to grow You can't keep doing the same thing over like I know I'm sure y'all heard the same Insanity is the definition of doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting different results So if Ravens kept if Ravens kept putting that same stale offense out on the field over and over and over That's what they've been doing. Look at the past three years That offense has been stale For the most part no last year they picked it up But the offense has been so it's been stale for the most part. It's been really bad really really bad But I think they finally realized like hey one we're losing money. We're losing a lot of money We're losing a lot of money. We're losing business So why not go get a Lamar Jackson? Bring in this electrifying Playmaking quarterback who can do it all do the do the plays with his with his arms or the plays with his legs He can do it all He can do it all so and We and what else do we do if we losing money? We got to find a way we lose the money We losing fans. We got to find a way to try to bring them back so Ravens start put you know how secretive Ravens are you know how secret if they are you know how they like to keep stuff under wraps But Ravens start putting out articles here and there even on on you know It's official when the Ravens comm Baltimore Ravens comm has it on there. What's up, Thomas? But they put put it out there that oh, yeah, they're gonna have some packages for Lamar Jackson They're gonna have some offense packages for Lamar Jackson. They put that on their website on their official website So with them doing that That's kind of giving the fans a little tidbits like oh, okay. Here's the reason to be excited for this season Here's the reason to be excited for this offense. Here's the reason to buy tickets. Here's the reason to buy merchandise Here's the reason to spend money and here's the reason to continue to support this team who's been failing on offense for forever now so again business move man and then today they announced the How they're gonna be dropping the prices for food at the stadium now We all know how expensive that food is at stadiums. We all know that We all know that and for them to drop prices for food. Oh, that's big man. That's big so It's a business move man It's a it's a big business move Lamar Jackson was a business move He wasn't all business, but he was a big business move huge business move huge business move So Yeah, man. It's oh, yeah, we talked about that earlier Mike. He said they're gaining money from Jackson's jerseys, too Yeah, you know them jerseys gonna be flying off the shelves. It's like I said, we talked about that That's merchandise. That's all business That's all people are excited for Lamar Jackson people are super excited for this guy And it's not taking anything away from Flacco. We love Flacco appreciate everything that he did But people are super excited for Lamar Jackson because there are so many there's a lot of people with Lamar Jackson There is I haven't seen our one person do it With Lamar Jackson, everybody is extreme with him everybody Everybody is extreme with Lamar Jackson. Everybody either says.   There's no in-between There's no in-between But either way either way Whatever Lamar Jackson does people gonna be watching and That's what the Ravens want. They want people to watch Because they got this quarterback that has so many unknowns right now. He has so many unknowns They have so many unknowns. Yeah, that's a good point JB smooth and somebody mentioned that before I forgot where I forgot who it was but they said they said it's so weird because Since Lamar Jackson got drafted the Ravens have been getting so much media attention recently and that's not like us We don't never get good media attention ever We don't even get much media attention But if we do if we all get media attention then it's never a good thing. It's never a good thing It is never a good thing But yeah, Logan Logan just said a polarized court quarterbacks can make a season exciting and yes this season is already different we We have a new excitement for this season based off of just Lamar Jackson and It's also been creating drama because The question has come up. I mean y'all seen questions from subscribers y'all seen Stuff on YouTube ESPN NFL Network Twitter the internet Y'all have seen all that stuff that asked the question when will Lamar Jackson start? So what does that do if if there's all this controversy talking about when is Lamar Jackson gonna start people gonna say well If Flacco gets hurt or if Flacco performs bad, so what's gonna happen now at them Ravens games? What's gonna happen? well People are gonna be watching they're gonna be watching closely to see how Flacco performs, but did you see the main part of that sentence? People are gonna be watching Business move people are gonna be watching business move people are gonna be watching a business move that People watching generates more income for the Ravens People going to the games generates more income for the Ravens They're probably gonna take some of my money for the the preseason game between them and the Dolphins Because that was a game. I was like I would like to go in it's on a Saturday, but I was like We'll see But now ever since they drafted Lamar Jackson and it's preseason. I'm like, whoa, hold up. Whoa there I'm excited. This is the first preseason not the I can't say the first preseason I've been excited for because the preseason always gets me excited because that means football is one month away But this is the first preseason where I'm like, oh, I can't wait to see a preseason game I can't wait to see a preseason game because I want to see Flacco I want to see RG3 and I want to see Lamar Jackson. I want to see Woodrum. I just want to see everybody So That's what it's about That's what it's about man That's why I say this is the real reason It's not the only reason so don't get me wrong, but this is the real reason that Lamar Jackson was drafted and Concession stand prices went down It's a business and again, like I said, no, not a lot of y'all not gonna like that a lot of y'all don't like that And that's fine. That's fine. Ain't nothing wrong with that but It's true Appreciate y'all team keep it clean.

Hello everybody and welcome to another hobby cheating video today. We're going to talk about making your true metallic gold Really really pop the strict technomancer that is vincey v Let us get to the technique and learn it vincey v style So some time back I made a video about the best-looking gold recipe And it's still the gold recipe that I used to this day one of the questions that was frequently us In response to that video was how would you highlight and shade this well today? We're going to break into that and talk about the tools the tips the techniques that you can use to get your true metallic gold Looking really awesome and popping on your miniatures. Let's head over to the desk and do some painting We're gonna start with the simplest answer, which is the humble wash We're all familiar with the wash. We've all used it a hundred times now generally I'm quite against using traditional washes on metallics You're putting an interference medium over top that isn't glossy of a very glossy surface And hence you're going to dilute the shine to some degree however, the exception is If you have if you're using sort of one of the newer washes, which is does fall into the recess easier But also if you're dealing with a highly textured surface Surfaces like this are just almost impossible to really get all the detail too So for these kinds of surfaces a traditional wash is best if you're dealing with very smooth surfaces Look somewhere else when you're dealing with very smooth surfaces Such as this as you see me working here The wash is going to have almost no effect and you can use it as an extremely subtle glaze as you see me doing But keep in mind you want absolutely just the minimal amount there All right, so here you can see the wash is dried and we haven't left too much extra paint on there Your next option is something like inks or contrast paints here I'm using some grass rack sewer a contrast paint, but inks would perform very similarly The challenge is the surface of metal paint is so glossy and so smooth There's very little for these kinds of paints to grip onto as such They will tend to bead and then have be very Inconsistent in their coverage So finally we have traditional matte paint This is Rhinox hide and ultimately Rhinox hide is what I like to create my real shadows on metallics with It's matte and so it does kill the shine and create actual shadows What you're looking for here is a thin layer consistency Rhinox hide has sort of the perfect mix of brown and purple tones To achieve the shading on gold now It's not a required color if you don't happen to have that paint Anything in a sort of deep rich brown can certainly work in the same way But your goal is to create a nice thin layer paint Something more than a glaze but not just a few drops of water say two drops of water to every one drop of paint something like that and You just work your way around the miniature Applying it smoothly and evenly to these surfaces now even the matte paint will sometimes not stick as well as you want and will Sometimes have inconsistencies in the drying. Don't worry. We can fix those later or with additional glazes Now if you do run into a challenge One of the things you can do as you're working right across the surfaces is work a little thicker and then instead We just work it back later So here on his helmet just because of kind of the positioning I'm in and when filming this I worked a little thicker because I didn't want it running everywhere on these very very thin surfaces And as I work my way around the helmet I'm making sure to get sort of the shadow side a consistent shadow side So the left side of all the teeth and you know, I'm running my shadows on this metallic in similar directions There's no single golden rule you that that is the right way to shade metallics Because light bounces off of them in lots of ways the important part is to simply be consistent with what you do on your individual miniature The last option if you've got the space and the control is to airbrush Here I've thinned down that same Rhinox hide and I'm using it to smooth out some of the inconsistencies in the paint I'm working here with my Iwata CR plus this has a point one five needle in it, and I'm working at 18 psi I'm just very gently hitting those areas of the metal and I can work very very very small with this What this allows me to do is create these nice small subtle transitions Well, at the same time reinforcing what I do with the brushwork Now I can't hit everything the paint is very thin. I have to use very very small Applications and then come in multiple times to get to the the strong shading that I'll need to create a good effect Remember the key here when you're applying the shades is that something like the wash even when applied as a sort of glaze the sort of GW shades Versus the inks or contrast paints versus the matte paints are all gonna perform differently And they're all going to be difficult to make them adhere and look really smooth on that sort of very glossy surface That metallic paint provide so experiment around and see what works best for you Let's talk about smoothing and highlighting. I have silver my gold mix and some rhinox hide here on my palette I'm going to begin with a mix of Mostly the rhinox hide with just a little bit of gold say three to one And what I'm gonna do is just sort of smooth out those edges by adding in some metallic pigment Into the rhinox hide and then thinning it down with a decent amount of water We create the ability to have simply a darker looking gold and I'll move around the miniature actually making this the transition point Between my previous glazes or airbrush work where necessary to smooth it into the gold I do multiple passes multiple mixes multiple different opacities What I mean by that is I'll work different amounts of the gold in eventually moving up to sort of a 5050 To then smooth that edge that I just created if you get Any sort of situation where you have a hard edge line. This is how you smooth it out Now once I've smoothed out those shadow transitions. It's time to turn to the highlights For the highlights I begin with just the straight gold and I'm going around and making sure I'm working on those areas Uh where I had washed bringing those very tight The areas that I want to be, you know, really clean metallics that are effectively the mid-tone back up to the area Reinforcing any highlights from any errant brushstrokes. I also correct around the miniature for anything else I then create a 5050 mix of the silver and the gold And here I'm going to start laying down my highlights now again consistency is the key Here I've put the shadows toward the top and I so hence the highlights need to be at the bottom Each surface even on a complicated item like this can be Attacked relatively easily when you stop trying to think of this thing as a super complicated surface Think of it as one volume one shape and highlight accordingly So the entire lower head of the axe is just one big triangle Hence how I ran the shading across the top completely and then the highlighting along the bottom Once you've got that total volume in place You can go in with a brighter color and pick out the individual elements But treat it like one shape one ball one flat surface ignore the detail to begin That's how you set your initial tones Now I've moved up to more three to one so three silver to one gold And I'm focusing on smaller and smaller areas every time I do this Highlighting less and less and less I'm working my way toward sort of that pure silver But this still has a little bit of the gold influence in it and will still reflect You know somewhat yellow making it feel just like a very bright gold more than anything else I work my way around the miniature again covering less and less spaces each time So it gets progressively faster as I go Uh and then basically just work in those highlights if you ever feel it's over highlighted You can always go back to your gold in the same way and then smooth out that transition Just as you saw me do into the shadow I can rebuild out any smoothing transition Into the gold with just some of the original gold thin down The last and most important step is using basically pure silver and hitting all of the edges Bright gold reflects white light it effectively reflects something that looks like silver At only its highest highest highest highlights So the edges of metallic surfaces reflect very cleanly So the last step is a very sort of stressful one as I work my way around the mini And just highlight every single edge with pure silver Now this won't always show sometimes it's a muted effect where you will notice it the most Is when you are highlighting next to your darker shaded areas, but you still want to do that I end up tracing both sides of all of this metallic filigree All around the miniature to create The strong bright poppy edges and complete the true metallic effect selling in a non-metallic way So there you go. He's all finished King broad came out really nice. I'm very excited to finally get this Conversion that we did a few videos ago painted up As always, uh, I uh, I really enjoyed painting this it was really fun I hope this was helpful to you if it was hey, give it a like Subscribe for additional hobby cheating in the future if you want to take your next step on your hobby journey There's a patreon link down below That you can join focused on review and feedback and it gives you access to an awesome discord community full of enthusiastic hobbyists But as always, I thank you so much for watching this one and we'll see you next time


We are talking about the oxygen delivery system but in our previous module we talk about the first part of the oxygen delivery system that is the compressor. But in this module we try to discuss the air sterilization system that is very critical. So the sterilization of the inlet air is undertaken to be prevent from the contaminants because that has to enter into the reactor or a fermenter. So by the same side the exit air on the other hand is should be sterilized not only to keep the contaminant from entering but also prevent the organism to release from the vessel just for containment level just to save the informant. The common method on inlet on the exit that is mostly the cheapest way is a filtration. So the small scale fermenters with the volume less than 5 liters, disc shape, hydrophobic Teflon membrane in a polypropylene housing filters are used. Tough nature of the Teflon and the reusable properties of such filters give them a positive point for their use. You can see in this slide that Teflon type fermenter and then you can see in this picture that how that is designed. You can see that is having a Teflon membrane inside that and then this whole Teflon membrane is packed under in a polypropylene material because that polypropylene material has the property to withstand its shape and quality under sterilization conditions because we have to autoclave it before using that. So that is mostly used up to 1000 liters. So by plating the membrane it is possible to create the compact filters with a very large surface because the Teflon membrane when you compact inside the polypropylene that create a maximum area because as much as there will be the more area then there is a more chance and there will be a less pressure is required to pass the air from the filter. So if the filter is very tight and then there is a less area and the pores are available then the air quantity that we require for the fermentation media is not sufficient. So that can reduce that pressure which we require inside the fermentation vessel because when there is a less pressure from the outside and the compressor having not the required and the filter either having a small pores either choke with some dust particles or with some others then there is a chance of the less supply of the air to the fermenter vessel or a fermentation medium. So that is why when we say that air filtration increase the filtration area then decrease the pressure required to pass a given volume from the air through the filter compressor give the suitable pressure air and then that is why the compressor is needed and then the suitable pressure of 250 kilo Pascal is required and then the type of that filter is very critical in this whole air sterilization system. So in our later module we will talk about another type of filters that mostly used on industrial scale fermenters but on laboratory scale fermenters mostly these are the small filters are used in the fermentation design.


This episode of Weird But True is brought to you by the Black-Eyed Kids by G. Michael Vasey, narrated by Darren Marlar. There was a knock at the door late at night. You answer it to find two small children standing there.  Let us in, they say. We need to use the phone. It's at that point that the fear turns to utter dread as you see that these kids have completely black eyes. The Black-Eyed Kids is an exploration of this terrifying phenomenon using true stories of encounters with Black-Eyed Kids, or BEKs, submitted to the My Haunted Life 2 website. G. Michael Vasey examines the evidence and investigates the terrifying BEK phenomenon coming to some startling and shocking conclusions. Are they demonic soul leaders responsible for the disappearance of some of the 90,000 Americans missing at any point in time? Or is this just another urban legend, another boogeyman designed to keep you awake at night? Listen to the book and find out. The Black-Eyed Kids by G. Michael Vasey, narrated by Weird Darkness host Darren Marlar. Here a free sample by clicking the link on the audiobooks page at WeirdDarkness.com. Some of history's most notable names died in really, really odd ways. There are several coming up that I was pretty surprised to read about myself. From ice picks to toothpicks. Death strikes in strange ways. Welcome, weirdos. I'm Darren Marlar and this is Weird But True, a video companion to Weird Darkness. Harry Houdini The famous magician may have seemed invincible. He could escape just about anything but a punch to the gut from a college student proved to be his undoing. The student had seen one of Houdini's acts where he took punches to the stomach and hit the magician without warning him first. Houdini's appendix ruptured and he died on October 31, 1926. Leon Trotsky, one of the most famous figures of the Russian Revolution of 1917, was later exiled by the USSR by Stalin himself. He was murdered in Mexico in 1940 when an assassin stabbed him in the head with an ice pick. One of the most vicious men in history, Attila the Hun, died of a simple nosebleed while celebrating his marriage in 453, the leader got drunk, got a nosebleed and choked to death on his own blood. Marie Curie This famous physicist and chemist discovered radioactivity and won two Nobel Prizes, one in 1903 and one in 1911. She died in 1934 from a rare bone marrow disease caused by radiation. Ultimately, it was her beloved work that ended up killing her. One of the most famous American playwrights of all time, Tennessee Williams, was drunk and high on amphetamines when he accidentally choked to death on the plastic cap of an eyedrop bottle in 1983. A war hero who served as the ninth American president, William Henry Harrison gave a two-hour inauguration speech in the rain without an overcoat or hat. He caught a nasty cold and died in office a month later. Harrison was the first president to die while still in office. Another war hero who went on to become president of the United States, Zachary Taylor attended an event in July 1850 at which he reportedly consumed a large amount of raw fruit and iced milk. The food and drink gave Taylor dysentery, and he died five days later, only 16 months in to his term as president. King Henry I ruled England for 35 years, but eating lamprey eels on a hunting trip in France in 1135 sickened and killed him. After his death, his entrails were buried at a nearby priory while the rest of his body was transported back to England to be buried at Reading Abbey. This brilliant astronomer and astrologer died in 1601 because he refused to leave a banquet table to use the bathroom because it would have been a sign of bad manners. He hurried home after the banquet and experienced severe pain when he tried to urinate. Brian was dead 11 days later from a bladder ailment. For many years there was speculation that Brian had actually been poisoned, but after a 2010 investigation the bladder disease explanation was finally confirmed. Sir Francis Bacon was an influential scientist and philosopher. He was travelling through bad weather when he decided to investigate whether snow could preserve meat. Bacon left his carriage and walked to the house of a woman who sold him a chicken carcass that he stuffed with snow. The time Bacon spent outside made him ill and he died from pneumonia three days later. Queen Sunanda was the queen of Siam, today known as Thailand. Her boat capsized in 1880 while on the way to the Royal's summer palace. Because touching a queen was a capital offense, dozens of people watched her and her one-year-old daughter drown. The Greek playwright Escalus is known as the father of tragedy. He supposedly died when an eagle picked up a tortoise in its claws and dropped the tortoise onto Escalus' bald head, thinking it was a rock to break the animal's shell. Edolf Frederick, the king of Sweden, died of overeating in 1771 after a gluttonous meal of lobster, caviar, sauerkraut, champagne, and 14 servings of sweet rolls in a bowl of hot cream. Sherwood Anderson was a short story writer in the early part of the 20th century who died a bizarre death in 1941. At the age of 64, he accidentally swallowed a toothpick on a cruise ship while drinking a martini. The toothpick damaged his internal organs and he died of an infection. Gregorio Rasputin This Russian mystic became close to the royal family, but was still viewed as a bizarre enemy by government officials and the general public. He was murdered in December 1916. First, he was given poisoned food and wine, but that didn't kill him. Then his assassins shot him. It's unclear whether one of the three shots was fatal or if the man was finally killed by drowning when he was thrown into a river.

It is now time for Question Period, the leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Premier. After the recent budget, I applauded the government's investment for autism funding. But just days before World Autism Day, this government announced their new plan. The result of a Toronto Star investigation reported on April 1st that families, I quote, were left devastated by the changes to the autism program. The government is kicking over 2,000 children off the IBI, autism treatment waiting lists. In exchange, the government offered a pittance of transitional funding to cover private therapy. Mr. Speaker, where does the Premier expect parents to find $50,000 to pay for this private treatment? Won't the Premier listen to the Toronto Star? Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I want to welcome everyone to the Legislature today. I want to just say that we are committed to improving the lives of children and youth with autism. We're committed to providing them with the best possible services based on the best possible evidence, Mr. Speaker. It is incredibly important that we look at what is working, look at the evidence, Mr. Speaker. With the prevalence of autism increasing, so were wait times increasing, Mr. Speaker. That status quo was unacceptable, and that's why our budget makes a historic $333 million investment, Mr. Speaker, in a new Ontario Autism program. It's very important that through this investment, the new program will give 16,000 more children access to services. There are 500 in the IBI, which is the Intensive Behavioral Intervention, 15,500 to access applied behavioral analysis. Mr. Speaker, back to the Premier. Putting the spin aside, the reality is the Liberals are kicking children off the wait list without the new programs ready to go. I understand the government wants to reduce wait times for autism treatment, but their solution is to kick children off the wait list? Really? This seems to be a pretty heartless way to score political points and tout shorter wait times. Mr. Speaker, the government said the cost of inaction was too high. Is that what they're telling parents of autistic children, saying they now have to pay $50,000 a year for private treatments? Mr. Speaker, let's just go through what this investment will do. It'll give 16,000 more children access to services. That's 500 getting more IBI, Mr. Speaker, and 15,500 getting applied behavioral analysis. We'll cut the wait times in service in half or service in half within the next two years. Mr. Speaker, what the evidence shows with the science says is that IBI is very, very effective in the early years. There were children sitting on the wait list, Mr. Speaker. Those young children, when that window of opportunity for IBI was absolutely closing, Mr. Speaker. And so what we need to do is make sure that younger children get that IBI, Mr. Speaker, that the applied behavioral analysis is available to them. That's why we're providing $8,000 for people who are going off the wait list to be able to buy services, Mr. Speaker, and subsequently providing access to a new ABA program that's more intense, that's longer, and is specifically tailored to those older children. Thank you. Final supplementary. Mr. Speaker, back to the Premier. I haven't got an answer on why the government is kicking children off the wait list. The government's changes will lead to children falling through the cracks of an already underfunded system. You can't stop these programs without something to replace it with. Parents are telling you that autism does not stop at age five. Stop the clock. I would hope that I would not have to be interrupted while I'm speaking. And I would also hope that I don't have to repeat yesterday's need for control. This will be the last time I speak as a group. Mr. Speaker, parents are telling the government, telling them and stressing that autism does not stop at age five. But the government isn't listening. Mr. Speaker, how are these parents? How are these families living with autism going to be heard? Do they have to buy a $6,000 plate dinner to get a meeting with the Premier? House Leader, come to order, please. The member from Oxford, come to order. The member from Leeds, Grenville, come to order. Premier. Children youth services. Children youth services. Thank you, Speaker. And let me just say off the bat, Speaker, this government listens to families. The government listens to experts. And we listen to service providers. We did this before the announcement. We did a jury. The member from Hamilton Mountain, come to order. The member from Lambton, Kent Middlesex, come to order. And if it continues, I'll ramp it up to warnings. Minister. Thank you, Speaker. And I continually meet with families who have children on the autism spectrum scale. And I hear from them all the time. I met with more yesterday. And, Speaker, I know change is hard.  I know what it's like when programs transition. But I'm very proud to say that the families who are going to experience change under our new and enhanced program will get the services they need when they need it. So, I'm sure, yes, there'll be 8,000 that goes towards any services the family wishes to buy immediately. That will immediately move kids off the waitlist, Speaker. It's three times more than what we've provided under the rules. Thank you. Two things. First of all, I'm sitting in the chair, and I will do my job. I don't need people from that side or any side telling me how to do it. Because if I was ready to do something, you just stopped it from happening. New question. The leader of the opposition. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Premier. The Minister of Energy is a prolific fundraiser for the Liberal Party, because he needs to meet his Cabinet seat quota. Moving to warnings. The member from Glen Greary, Prescott Russell, is warned. Carry on. Mr. Speaker, we have appeared to hit a nerve once again. It is reported that the Minister of Energy's fundraising target was as high as $300,000. That's not an easy task for anyone. Some could raise that money through... Stop. Deputy House Leader will stop rising his profit. Thank you. Carry on. More than him's done it. Mr. Speaker, some could raise that money through hard work, or maybe the Minister found other ways. So Mr. Speaker, will the Premier tell us, has any Minister of Energy solicited donations for the Ontario Liberal Party from companies seeking grants or contracts with the Government of Ontario? Yes or no? It's not a complicated question. Yes or no? Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the question from the leader of the opposition. As he knows, as I've said, our government's already undertaken a number of initiatives to make elections more accountable, transparent. In 2007, we introduced third-party advertising rules for the first time. We introduced real-time disclosure for political donations. I announced last June, we're committed to making further changes. As I announced yesterday, our government plans on introducing legislation on political donations this spring and moving to ban corporate and union donations. Mr. Speaker, I think we have to lead by example, and that's why I've made the decision to immediately cancel upcoming private fundraisers that I attend. I've also asked the same of my Ministers. It's important that we get this right. Everyone in this House, Mr. Speaker, is part of the current set of rules, and we need to get this right. That's why I've invited both party leaders to join me for a meeting within the next few days to discuss these important issues. Thank you. Supplementary. Mr. Speaker, back to the Premier. That wasn't the question I asked. I'm hoping this time I can get an answer about the conduct of how the Premier's Ministers are conducting themselves. Let me give an example. Seven renewable energy companies donated $255,000 to the Liberal Party over the last few years. All seven of those companies were awarded contracts from the Minister of Energy just a couple of weeks ago. How can the Liberal Party, how can this government possibly claim that their decisions were impartial and fair when seven of those companies gave over a quarter of a million dollars to the Liberal Party's coffers? Mr. Speaker, would all of those contracts have been approved if it wasn't for a quarter of a million dollars in donations to the Liberal Party? Thank you. Premier. Deputy Premier. Deputy Premier. Thank you, Speaker. And you just heard the Premier say that she has determined that she will cancel all private fundraisers going forward. So I guess my question back is, I think if you look in your calendar on April the 19th, you will see that there's a scheduled $10,000 a plate dinner, exclusive dinner. I believe it's at the Albany Club. And take out that April 19th event right now. Show the leadership. Mr. Speaker, back to the Premier and I'd appreciate if we don't deflect questions and I can get an answer to my question about the energy donations, about the donations of the Liberal Party that resulted in contracts. Not very good timing. Mr. Speaker, we in the opposition are not awarding contracts. It is the government. The crux of the problem is that donors are feeling, that fundraisers are feeling to have the ear of the government, that any group has to donate to the Liberal Party. That is not how you conduct the business of the people of Ontario. That's not how you award contracts. Let me give another example of how this line has been completely blurred between the Liberal Party and the Government of Ontario. Mr. David Thornton, who happens to be the largest donor of the seven companies, used to be employed by the Minister of Energy, has donated 194 times, giving over $100,000. I would wish that the member was very anxious to curve himself. So, moving to warnings might not do it. There are lots of votes today. Deputy Premier. Well, thank you, Speaker. The Leader of the Opposition is suggesting that he has never accepted donations from people or organizations who want them to oppose government policy. For example, the ORPP. I think I'd like to hear that coming from the Leader of the Opposition. Speaker, if he's not prepared to cancel the April the 19th fundraiser at Barbarians, $10,000 a plate for 10 executive types, Speaker, corporate types, I wonder what about May the 4th? Now, I understand there's another fundraiser, May the 4th, a bargain of $5,000.  New question, the Leader of the Third Party. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Premier. Does the Premier believe that it should be one party, the Liberal Party, and one party leader, her, that should be responsible for making the rules that govern how all election campaigns are funded? As I said yesterday, and I have said again this morning, I think that we do need to get this right, Mr. Speaker. I've invited both party leaders to join me to talk with their colleagues, to bring advice to us, Mr. Speaker. But we are going to bring legislation forward this spring, Mr. Speaker. We are going to move to ban corporate and union donations. And I look forward to the debate, the public debate that will ensue when that legislation is introduced, Mr. Speaker. And before that, I look forward to the input from the leaders of the opposition parties. Ontarians deserve to have faith in the democratic process and in our shared political system. And I believe that the Premier putting herself in charge of making the rules that govern political campaigns is just wrong. Using the government's majority to force through changes on how our democracy is financed will only lead to more public cynicism, Speaker. That's why it's important to take the politics out of this process and put Ontario's nonpartisan chief electoral officer in charge. Will the Premier do the right thing and ask the chief electoral officer to head up this process, Speaker? Mr. Speaker, I very much respect the advice of the chief electoral officer. And the member opposite knows that there are recommendations that have come forward. We're looking at all of those, Mr. Speaker. But I think on the issues that we're discussing today, particularly the banning of corporate and union donations, I think that there is pretty widespread agreement that that's where we should go, Mr. Speaker. That's why we're going to introduce legislation this spring. I look forward to input from the opposition leaders. And I expect that the opposition leaders will talk with their colleagues and with other people and bring that advice. And, of course, there will be a very broad public discussion once the legislation is introduced, Mr. Speaker. That's why we've moved the introduction of the date of the legislation up from the fall to the spring so that we can have a good opportunity for the committee to talk to people around the province and have an opportunity to hear from people in every corner of the province, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. When people believe there is one level of access for wealthy donors and another level of access for ordinary Ontarians, it's bad for our democracy, Mr. Speaker, and it makes people cynical. When people see the same Premier who took advantage of those lax rules now in charge of drafting the new rules, they become even more cynical, Mr. Speaker. Will this Premier commit today to creating a process that is not led by her office and the Liberal political staffers and instead is led by elections Ontario together with academia, civil society, business, labour, and all major political parties, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Mr. Speaker, you know, I really do believe, as I said last June, I believe there need to be changes. That's why we're bringing legislation forward. Mr. Speaker, there has been a broad discussion. I think that if we look at the federal government, Mr. Speaker, we see that there has been a change there for some years, banning corporate union donations. I think that there is a broad consensus, Mr. Speaker, that that's the direction that we need to go. I am absolutely open to hearing from people across the province. That's why I want to get the legislation introduced so that we can get that commentary, Mr. Speaker. And as the leader of the third party knows, we hear from people all the time. I talk to people all the time, Mr. Speaker. Across the province, I listen to people, Mr. Speaker, and then we make decisions based on that input and based on what we believe is in the best interests of the people of the province. That's how we will move forward, Mr. Speaker, bringing legislation in the spring. New question? Thank you. My next question is also for the Premier. Yesterday, the Premier said she's open to an open process, but she also said everybody makes suggestions to her. In fact, she just said that again this morning, Speaker. Then she goes away and sets the rules, and it's passed by a liberal majority, no matter what the opposition, civil society, academics, business, or labour have to say. That's not an open process, Speaker. It's not democratic. Will this Premier do the right thing and listen to her own advice and make this an open process, Speaker? Thank you. Well, I believe that we have an open process, Mr. Speaker. I believe in legislation where there has been input from the opposition leaders, Mr. Speaker, where there has been already a public discussion about this issue, where there seems to be a consensus on some very fundamental aspects, Mr. Speaker, and then a broad discussion. And I would say to the leaders of the opposition, they have an opportunity to bring forward into the public realm, because they can talk with me about it in the meeting, but obviously they will want to talk publicly about what it is they would like to see changed, what they would like to see the parameters to be around the new fundraising rules, Mr. Speaker. That is, I think, important for this process. In a real way in this conversation, because there are no absolutes here, Mr. Speaker. The fundraising rules have been changed from generation to generation. Every party in this house has been in office and has contributed to the design of fundraising rules at one time or another. This is the next iteration. I look forward to their input, Mr. Speaker. Supplementary. Well, Speaker, you know, it wasn't that long ago that the Premier was promising an open process on the budget. But instead of listening to Ontarians through a pre-budget process, we got a Liberal government public relations exercise. The Minister sent the already written budget to translation before the pre-budget hearings had actually even finished, Speaker. It's deja vu all over again. It's clear that the Premier didn't take the budget consultation seriously, and I'm concerned that she's going to do the same on this very issue, Speaker. Will this Premier take this process out of her office and put Ontario's nonpartisan Chief Electoral Officer in charge? Mr. Speaker, our intention is we will bring forward legislation in the spring. We will have a broad public discussion. I look forward to the leaders of the opposition parties bringing their commentary forward. But let's talk about the budget, Mr. Speaker. Let's talk about the budget that the leader of the third party said she will be proud to vote against. Let's talk about who we listen to, Mr. Speaker, and the input that we got on something like the free tuition, Mr. Speaker. You know, the Ontario University Student Association, the Canadian Federation of Students, the College Student Association, all of them said to us that we need to target the support to target the student assistance supports for low- and low-middle-income families. That's exactly what we have done, Mr. Speaker. That input we heard over many months, Mr. Speaker, and it found its way into the budget. I'd like to talk about the environmentalists who have talked to us for years, Mr. Speaker, about cap and trade, about the system that is going to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Wrap up, please. Listen to them, and that is part of our budget and part of our strategy going forward. That's what the Leader of the Third Party's proud to vote against. Thank you. And I would do it again, Speaker. I would do it again. Yesterday, the Premier said she was already working on the changes on how campaigns are funded, Speaker, long before any consultation. What that says to me is that the Premier is planning unilateral changes, and frankly, Ontarians have a right to be concerned that these changes will be more about strengthening the Liberal Party than Ontario's democracy. It is not too late for the Premier of this province to do the right thing and to ask the Chief Electoral Officer to head up a truly non-partisan, non-police-sized process, Speaker, and ensure Ontarians that this is not yet, once again, all about her and the Liberal Party. Will this Premier do the right thing and open up this process? Well, Mr Speaker, as I said today, it is very important that we get this right. I announced yesterday that our government plans on bringing the legislation forward, not in the fall, but in the spring, and we'll move to banning corporate and union donations, Mr Speaker. I said this morning that I've made a decision to immediately cancel upcoming private fundraisers that I have attended in the past, Mr Speaker, and I've asked the same of my ministers. It is important that we get this right and it is important that all of the voices are heard. There is a high degree of consensus on some of the issues, like the banning of union and corporate donations, but I am very eager to hear from the leaders of the opposition parties on what they are hearing and what they think should be in these changes. So far, Mr Speaker, I really haven't heard any substantial recommendations coming from them. I look forward to our meeting. I hope we'll have a good constructive conversation. Thank you. Thank you, Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Children and Youth Services. Last week, as soon as the news broke that children with autism over five years old would no longer receive intensive behavioral intervention, I started hearing from families who were devastated by the minister and her broken promise. Families like the Sturgeons, whose son Daniel turned five this past November, has been on a waiting list for two years. Now, the minister has removed Daniel from the wait list because he's five. Just imagine how devastated that is to be so close to receiving this necessary support and then having it ripped away from you. Families like the Sturgeons just don't trust you to do the right thing. Will the minister do the right thing today and reverse her decision to remove children like Daniel from accessing IBI therapy? Thank you, Minister of Children and Youth Services. Well, Speaker, I think it's important to note that the $333 million is entirely for new services and programs for children. Speaker, as the Premier mentioned, the program also involves creating 16,000 new spaces for children to receive the therapies they need in the appropriate developmental window. And as children transition, children over five transition off the IBI wait list, they will receive more services under the new integrated autism program. We're going to work directly with Family Speaker to work on transition planning to make sure they get the services they need and will be new early diagnosis pilots as well, Speaker. Thank you. The minister wants to talk about other issues. I want to talk about the children over five who have been removed from a waiting list. You know, you made great hay talking about how there was going to be no more wait lists. I don't think it was diagnosed with autism in June of 2013. Come to order. Families. It's not a laughing manner. Another family, the Macaizix, their son, Dale, was diagnosed with autism in June 2013. Dale turned six on April 2nd. Now, there's no hope for him to receive IBI therapy from the province and giving $8,000 to the Macaizix to find their own supports until the solution and to find their own solution. While this family is currently paying over $16,000 per year for eight hours of therapy, Speaker, when will the minister provide real support for families with children with autism? Thank you, minister. I think $330 million is real money and is real support. The question is too high. We know the prevalence rates are up. The wait lists are far too high. And if we do nothing, Speaker, those wait lists will go from four or two years to five years by 2018. That's unacceptable to me. That's unacceptable to this government. And we will provide direct support to families wherever they are in this journey to the new program, Speaker. I think if the member is asking me that we should submit how changes, further changes. I think what she's suggesting is under the age of five, from receiving interventions when they need it most, clinical experts have advised the Speaker about the appropriate developmental windows. The member from Dufferin-Caladin is warned. You have a wrap-up sentence. Thank you, Speaker. It's also important to note that the one-time funding for families who have children over the age of five coming off the list will receive enhanced ABA support when that $8,000 expires and there'll be more support. Thank you. New questions to members from Kitchener Waterloo. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Finance. Can the Minister tell Ontarians if major donors to your party get special treatment? Mr. Speaker, we listen to the people of Ontario on all matters, pertaining to the development of policy. They're the ones that are important in the development of this budget. We also listen to the members of the opposition and the Standing Committee when they did their review. A lot of that is incorporated into this budget, Mr. Speaker. That's what we listen to, that's what's important and that's what we'll continue to do. Thank you. Well, Mr. Speaker, in 2015, Alice Donne contributed more than $24,000 to the Ontario Liberal Party. And in 2015, the Liberal Budget... Leader, you're warned. Finish, please. And in 2015, the Liberal Budget Measures Act changed the Labor Relations Act to specifically help one single employer, Alice Donne. Nobody else was asking for it and it didn't help any other businesses. Now, the year before, the Premier backed off a previous deal to support a private member's bill that would have done the exact same thing, which does leave one wondering about the future of this province. I'm sure the minister can see why some people might be skeptical. Can the minister explain to the people of this province what happened here? Thank you, Mr. Speaker. What is happening is that members of the opposition have fundraisers. What is happening, they receive donations from the very same people. I have a list here of NDP donations as well that they receive funding from. It is happening and we are looking at changing that, Mr. Speaker. We ask the members of the opposition to stop their fundraisers as well as the Premier is doing right now. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Economic Development. In the Upper Gallery, I want to let the youngest of our visitors know that they no longer have to sleep under their beds here in Canada as many continue to do in order to avoid being bombed or shelled. Speaker, Ontario has welcomed over 14,000 refugees as part of the federal effort to bring 25,000 Syrians to Canada. I am humbled, honoured, grateful and proud of the province of Ontario under Premier Wynn, as well as Prime Minister Trudeau for the open and genuine welcome extended to these newest of Canadians. In addition, we provided funding to support Lifeline Syria's effort to help resettle refugees from the Syrian conflict in the GTA through private sponsorship. Speaker, with the Minister described for this House, what Ontario is doing to support refugee resettlement in Ontario? Minister of Civilization and International Affairs. Thank you. I want to thank the honourable member from the tropical north asking the question. I also want to welcome the newcomers from Ontario and to Canada. Speaker, they are one of us. At the same time, I want to thank the great work done by the Settlement Services Agency called COSTI. They have done great work. Speaker, Ontario has continued to support refugees and other vulnerable people from all over the world. That is why last year we announced 8.5 million to support the settlement and integration of refugees in Ontario. We also committed 2 million for international aid. Speaker, Ontario has allocated over 6 million to enhance sponsorship support and resettlement services in targeted community. Speaker, we are proud of the work that we have done so far. Thank you. Thank you. Speaker, as an MPP and MD, I was disheartened and worried about the services for refugees in Canada who, as you will know, are some of the most vulnerable people on the planet. In fact, it is a matter of public record that the leader of the opposition in an earlier incarnation voted to cut federal refugee health care. Health professionals saw the suffering caused by these unilateral cuts and even the Supreme Court of Canada called the cuts cruel and unusual. Government reinstated access to this essential health care services for refugee claimants to the Ontario temporary health program. And Ontario has always been a place that stands up for people fleeing from war, famine and persecution. Would the minister please inform this chamber about our government's health care for refugees and new Canadians here in Ontario? Thank you. Minister. Minister of Health and Old Town Care. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Our guests here today Ahlan wa Sahlan. Assalamu alaikum. Marhaban. Vikum fi Canada. Mr. Speaker, I'm proud to announce that as of last Friday, in fact, April 1st, the federal government fully restored the refugee health program, which was, as we know, drastically cut in 2012. And our province has welcomed to date over 14,000 Syrian refugees here in Ontario. And that's something we all should be proud of and can share credit for the welcoming for these individuals. At the Ministry of Health we're working with all our health care providers, with a range of partners, with our community service organizations to ensure that all the proper health supports together with our federal government, all the proper health supports are provided for our new guests to this country.  Thank you. My question is to the premier speaker. During the latest round of wind and solar procurements, the Liberals gave contracts to seven major companies. These companies donated more than a quarter of a million dollars over the past few years alone. This all comes while the auditor general has said, we don't need to be procuring more energy. We've already on pace to export 52 million megawatts over the next five years, which is enough to power Nova Scotia until 2020. Will the premier admit these renewable contracts aren't signed because Ontario needs the power? They're just the liberal party's way of paying back the quarter of a million favours these companies have done for them. Minister of economic development and infrastructure. To be frank, I thought the member opposite was better than that. The Indian window in that question is absolutely inappropriate. When I think about it, we could send the same thing back to them, and we won't because we're going to be above that. This process has a fairness commissioner involved in it that oversees every one of these contracts. It is completely unfettered when it comes to any kind of politicization of these types of contracts. They're administered through a process and they're done through the independent electricity systems operator. He's a critic for energy. He knows that. That's an unfair innuendo and I think the member should be embarrassed by even making that allegation. I think it's an innuendo. I think it's a fact. Back to the premier. I'm not embarrassed, but that answer certainly should embarrass you. The premier can deflect from the real reasons these unnecessary contracts are being signed, but we all know she's just paying it forward. After all, her minister of energy now the member is getting too close to the line. I want to guard him against making a compliment a comment that impunes the motive. The member will reword that. Mr. of energy has to meet a $300,000 a year quota. What better way to meet the quota than to hand out government contracts to his favorite donors. Yet yet three companies Enterfin, SWD developments and interjects when companies who applied for contracts got none. Coincidentally, they never made a single donation to the liberal party. This is an impartial process when the companies that don't donate get nothing and companies that donate a quarter of a million dollars get signed lucrative contracts. Mr. Speaker, the only thing that's substantive in this question is the need for an innuendo. The fact is, the large renewable procurement process is administered by the independent electricity systems operator. It's completely arm's length, completely non-political. The member should know that because he's a critic, but he can't help himself Mr. Speaker. He has to get into innuendo. He has to get into smear. I think that's beneath him. I think the member from Prince Edward Hastings is warned. The member from Prince Edward Hastings is warned. Finish, please. Let's be very clear. All of the contracts that come through this process are public. They're circulated publicly and all of the donations he's referring to are public. This is nothing but empty innuendo and as I said, it's very much beneath the dignity of that member. Thank you. Your question. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Labor. Does the minister believe that workers should have the right to choose their union freely? Thank you. Minister of Labor. Speaker, I think in the province of Ontario we have a history of labor negotiations and a Labor Relations Act that has served this province well and I think the tenant that the member across has just described is one that is shared by all members of this house as we're going through changing workplaces review with the advisor. We're taking a look at the Labor Relations Act, Speaker. We have an open period in construction that serves this province well. So to summarize my answer, Speaker, I would have to say yes. Thank you. Thank you, Speaker. Well, in 2015 Service Employees International Union, better known as SEIU, contributed more than $30,000 to the Ontario Liberal Party. In previous year, SEIU contributed even more money to the Liberal Party. And in 2015, Bill 109 was introduced and became law, Speaker. Bill 109 may change this to our Labor law that specifically helped SEIU. Other unions in the sector says that Bill 109 is not fair and they are hoping to defeat it through a charter test. Some skeptic might be wondering what was going on. Can the minister shed some light on that process? Speaker, that's a bit of a stretch to say the least. What has happened is that when we have a merger of organization, Speaker, often there are bargaining unions attached to each of the organizations that merge. What happened is that some members of the Labor movement came forward and said, is there a better way of doing this? That doesn't cause as much strife on unrest as that transition is taking place for the implementation of a first contract, Speaker. Some members of organized Labor on this side of the bill, other members of organized Labor on that side of the bill, Speaker. We listened to both. We introduced legislation into this House. We're still listening to both parties as to ascertaining what number of people should apply in the regulation that follows from this, Speaker. We're still listening to organizations that bring good ideas before having the proper debate in this House and bringing forward strong legislation, Speaker. Well, thank you, Speaker. My question today is for the Minister of Government and Consumer Services, and, Speaker, you'll be pleased to know it has nothing to do with the $1.6 million that the leader of the opposition raised from his corporate friends in his leadership campaign. Speaker, the 2016 budget commits our government to many programs that will make life easier for all Ontarians. And I know that Service Ontario will play an important role in this by making frontline services easier to access more reliable and more affordable. While many people prefer having one-on-one person-to-person contacts and transactions, it's essential that our government evolve with technology to provide good online services. So this budget announced that it will enhance the experience and service of Ontario. So, Speaker, would the Minister please share with this House and my constituents of Beaches East York and my mother who's here on her birthday today in the West Gallery his plans to improve delivery of government services for Ontarians? Thank you, Speaker. I start by wishing the member from Beaches East York's mother a very happy birthday. I also want to thank, for the question, I'm pleased that the progress we're making in the service on Ontario to continue to modernize services that Ontarians count on. As the budget emphasized Service Ontario is transforming and approving service delivery by increasing access to a wide range of services. In the past four years, customer interactions at retail contact centres have increased by 8.6% and 4.1% in the last year alone bringing it to 49 million transactions. This creates need for us to match the demand at our 300 retail centres by increasing online availability. That's why we're working to develop an online renewal option for health cards in Ontario. We're also planning to align how Ontarians change the progress for both health cards and driver's licenses. Speaker, I'm pleased with the progress we're making and I'll have more to say in the supplementary. Well, thank you, Speaker and thank you to the Minister. We know he's doing tremendous hard work in the business and we expect modern service delivery and our government has shown this leadership. So working with customers and stakeholders to provide more service online has been a priority. This allows Ontarians to spend less time in lineups and more time with their loved ones. Businesses also expect that government services will be delivered efficiently and reliably and they appreciate the convenience of online services provided by Service Ontario. So I understand, Minister, that these steps will also ensure the new services are fiscally responsible and they will protect an individual's private information. So Speaker, would the Minister please update the House on the many steps that his ministry has taken to increase access to online services for Ontarians while ensuring their privacy? Thank you. Thank you, Speaker and again to the member from Beaches East York. Thank you for the question. As the member mentioned, the Service Ontario is part of the budget. We're part of an extensive ongoing effort to improve access to convenience, safe and secure online services. Service Ontario completes 10.5 million online transactions every year offering more than 40 services online, such as driver's license renewals, license plate sticker renewals, newborn registrations, address changes, vehicle information packages and of course birth certificates. Parents can now register their child's birth and apply for a social insurance certificate and other benefits in the 4-in-1 package. In 2013 we became the first province in the country to provide drivers with an online renewal service. With the rapid expansion of these programs we're constantly monitoring security measures as well. With the use of our 24-7 Security Operations Centre we're ensuring that the sensitive information of Ontarians is securely protected and I look forward to building on the programs in the future. Thank you. My question is for the Minister of Finance. Yesterday the Minister gave a vague answer to my question about dealings he and his office had with stakeholders when it comes to political donations and access. Based on the Minister's comments last week and the Premier's new agenda, I can see why he was squirming. Last week's Globe and Mail headline stated SUSE defends secret fundraiser of the democratic process. Now he's been called out publicly and his tune is suddenly different. Where in the Minister's my question is where in the Minister's mandate letter does it state that part of his job requirement is to raise $500,000 a year for the Liberal Party. Wow. Mr. Speaker my mandate letter is very, very public and the work I do is very public. In fact it's written in a document that expresses the values and the priorities of Ontarians of all stripes and of all ages and Mr. Speaker of all levels, be it in corporate, be it in academics, be it hospitals, be it children, be it unions, be it corporates, be it professionals, all the people of Ontario represented in the document. That's a document that matters. That's a document that member is opposing. He's opposing supports for more hospitals. He's opposing more education. He's opposing free tuition, Mr. Speaker for the most vulnerable in our society. That is what concerns us. That is our priorities. That is what we're moving forward. That's what's in my mandate letter. To the Minister, hopefully I'll get an actual answer to this question. Speaker, here are his words as quoted by the Globe and the Toronto Star. Quote, it's not something I've been concerned about. I don't worry about fundraising. Really, Speaker there's no concern about organizing a secret $7,500 plate thunder last year in which the banks that profited from the privatization of Hydro-1 helped him raise about $165,000. Executives representing several financial services firms that were part of the Hydro-1 syndicate were also there according to the emails obtained by the Globe and Mail. Speaker, is the minister really going to stand and insist that cabinet access hasn't been sold through the Ministry of Finance office? Wow! Thank you. Thank you. The Premier has been made very clear and I've advised my campaign staff that we are to cancel all private fundraisers as we believe the member of the opposition should as well. We ask are you going to now cancel your April 19th private and exclusive fundraiser at the Albany Club? Cancel that. Are you going to cancel your May 4th exclusive 5,000 per cent fundraiser at Barbarians? Are you going to do that? Because we believe that you should and we will as well. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can you see her please? Thank you. You won't know when I'm going to strike. No question. Member from Hamilton Mountain. Thank you, Speaker. My question is to the Premier. Last week the government announced that it was reducing the wait list for autism treatment by kicking children five years and older off the list. Families and kids who have been languishing on wait lists for years because of this government's inaction and misplaced priorities are now being told that they will never access the service that they have been waiting so long for. In some cases they are being denied just weeks after being told that they have been finally approved for services. It's disgraceful. Families came to Queens Park to talk about their life on the wait lists and this government responds by kicking them off that list. It's absolutely shameful, Speaker. Will the Premier admit she is failing families with kids of ASD and immediately grandfather all children currently on the wait list at the time of their announcement? Thank you. Minister of Children and Youth Services. Minister of Children and Youth Services. Speaker, it's important to note we are actually taking children off the IBI wait lists. We are giving them immediate support with the $8,000 and transitioning them to an enhanced ABA program. We are doing that that will, as they said before create 16,000 new therapy spaces speaker. I do want to thank the member for the question. However it is important to note that in November of just last year she said early after study shows that early intervention is critical for children with autism. We agree with that speaker and we are following the evidence. The evidence shows that children receiving services in the right developmental window is important. I know the member opposite also asked us to reduce wait lists and get kids the services they need as soon as possible. That's what our investment of $333 million will do, Speaker. Thank you. This got her out of control and now they want this time petition begging this government to reverse its decision. My office has received literally hundreds of emails from families who are completely devastated by the news. I'm going to send over the many letters that I have received to the premier and to the minister. If the minister thinks that she is doing the right thing, she should respond personally to each family. Parents who were told weeks ago that their kids were ideal candidates all of a sudden are being kicked off the list. Will the premier explain to families of kids with ASD why she doesn't think their kids deserve access to life changing treatment? You say that please. You say that please. Thank you. Minister. Thank you, Speaker. And I have been talking with family and I understand that change and transition can be difficult but as far as I'm concerned as the Ontario minister of children use services, the cost of doing nothing is far too high. We've been investing heavily, $190,000 a year in autism but the prevalence rates are higher, 190 million a year, thank you and the weight lists are high so we need to address that. If the opposition doesn't want to hear from me about this let's hear from what the experts say. So the executive director for autism Ontario said families raising children with autism have been waiting a long time for this announcement providing early evidence-based intervention when it matters most will set children with autism on the best path forward. Let's hear from the regional autism providers of Ontario. They said we're very excited about what this historic investment means for children with families who experience autism more families will receive the right service at the right time. Thank you. And there's others. Thank you Mr. Speaker my question is to the Minister of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs Minister, this side of the house is very proud of the agriculture's contribution to Ontario's economy generating over $781,000 jobs and over $35 billion GDP each and every year. Ontarians also know that when they buy local food they help to create jobs and economic growth in communities all across this province. In my writing of Barry we benefit from several agri-food businesses that are innovating and attracting a growing clientele. Could the Minister please I've been standing for quite some time because I wanted to get the attention of somebody else on the other side. The Minister has heard the question but you can have one sentence to wrap up please. The Minister please inform the house on how the government recognizes the work that is being carried out by food producers and processors to innovate and compete both locally and globally. Thank you. Excellent question. Thank you very much Mr. Speaker and I want to thank the member from Barry for a question this morning and I do know in the Barry area there are farmers in that area. Mr. Speaker we all know Ontario's agri-food sector is among the most innovative in the world. That's why in 2006 we announced the launch of the Premier's award for agri-food innovation to help foster innovation in Ontario's agriculture and food sector. To date more than 475 award-winning initiatives have been recognized by our government. These innovative projects are boosting the agri-food sector by adding value and helping to create jobs that contribute to economic growth. Award recipients are eligible to receive prizes from $5,000 to $75,000 grants that can go towards further investment in their agri-food businesses. Thank you Mr. Speaker and thank you to the Minister for that answer. I'm glad to see that our province is celebrating the agri-food sector's job creation and economic growth potential. In 2014 I had the opportunity to attend an award to Berry Hill Farms which started a trial to freeze and sell surplus asparagus spheres. Businesses and individuals like these are contributing to the Premier's growth challenge for the agri-food sector to double its growth rate and create 120,000 jobs by the year 2020. I have no doubts that the individuals and businesses in my this is in my writing would be interested in applying to provide another example of last year's recipients and whether Ontarians can apply for the agri-food innovation awards for this year. Thank you Mr. Speaker Mr. Speaker thank you very much and I thank the member from Berry for a supplementary question I know in the weeks to come she'll be joining her farmers out in the fields to see how we start the crop growing season for 2016. Last year we handed out about 50 agri-food awards across the province Last November she joined me in recognizing the top award winner in Grodgeon and Family in Sipco County who created their own trading program to provide nine students with the skills they needed for the operations of VJ Meats whose products can be purchased at Longos and other retail operations across the province of Ontario. I'm pleased to afford the house and again we're handing out the Premier's awards again this year but Mr. Speaker time is running out you've got to apply before 5pm until the 15th I encourage all members to reach out to their innovative agri-food service in the running and apply immediately member from here Thank you very much Mr. Speaker the Liberals were caught four years ago using the drive clean program to rake in massive multi-million dollar profits. The Auditor General specifically warned the Liberal government that it could not claim drive clean was revenue neutral to make money but that's exactly what the Liberals did Speaker in fact the Auditor General reported the government would generate 50 million dollars in profits by the end of the current drive clean contract so I have my simple question to the minister is this what was the total surplus the government generated from the drive clean program from 2011 to 2016 Mr. Speaker I appreciate the question and now we've had this one before and we have moved to have a cost recovery of the program as is necessary and that's what we admitted to unlike what the member opposites party had introduced initially which created excess revenues and we've incurred that activity and we made it cost neutral Thank you Mr. Speaker It's very disappointing that this finance minister struggles to even answer so let's try again the Liberals have generated millions of dollars in profits from the drive clean program which the Auditor General pointed out is an unlawful tax and must be paid back to Ontario drivers yet the Liberals have not followed the Auditor General's recommendation speaker instead they're continuing the drive clean program and will likely pay for it using the profits they've accumulated so again Speaker Mr. Disclose the total surplus and explain whether the government plans to use the money it overcharged Ontario drivers to pay for drive clean for the next two years Mr. Speaker Mr. Speaker as the member may know there's actually going to be no charges for the drive clean program only the Conservatives could see the elimination of a fee but their math has never been that good Mr. Speaker second you know it's interesting this is a very successful program I get lobbied by businesses and people finish please thank you Mr. Speaker you know we get lobbied by many other provinces Quebec does not have a drive clean program Mr. Speaker and the problem Quebec has is that old cars are dumped into the Quebec market and they're releasing their carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions this program is very well regarded internationally my minister gets many requests to help other jurisdictions introduce such a dynamic and effective program Mr. Speaker Thank you Mr. Speaker my question is for the minister of health and long-term care but before I ask it I just want to acknowledge that Shannon Bertrand the young paramedic who came into my office about PTSD and kicked this whole thing off and joined us in the house Mr. Speaker while I'm thrilled that there is recognition that first responders in this province experience post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of what they experience on the job I'm of course disappointed that many groups of frontline workers are still excluded from bill 163 the original iteration my bill talked about all workers can the minister tell me why he didn't stand up for one group in particular frontline nurses to recognize that nurses experience PTSD on the job Mr. Speaker and thank you to the member for this question when this idea was first discussed around these hall speaker the idea was to pass a bill that really only protected firefighters protected police officers and protected paramedics the corrections officers speaker it excluded dispatchers it excluded first nations people what we did speaker is we went through an exhaustive exercise with these groups we consulted we talked to people that were coming to speak to us from the associations many of whom who are represented here today they told us to move ahead that this had taken far too long it was time to take those steps forward Speaker in corrections we've included nurses we've looked at our first responders who are twice as likely to get PTSD as anybody else in this province speaker and we've moved ahead to include them that's what the people in the audience have asked us to do to pass this bill speaker that's exactly what I hope we do in about five minutes from now Associate Minister of Finance on a point of order Thank you speaker it's my pleasure to welcome a group from my riding with their teacher Joseph Wong the West Hill ESL Center please welcome them members from beaches on a point of order my mother wasn't in the house when we had introductions so I'd like to wish her happy birthday today we're going to have lunch
