My name is David Brown. I work for Lunaro in security, and I wanted to give a little bit of a talk. I've been kind of bubbling around in my head for past six months or so that I've just called IOT TLS, why it's hard. It's kind of a bit of a background on this. I've worked with, I work on the project, Zephyr. We've pulled in embed TLS. We do a lot of things with trying to figure out what's wrong and what's insecure and go through a lot of demo apps. And my first pass going through all of them is none of them were actually secure. And so I just wanted to kind of give a little talk to explain actually what makes this hard and why it's not a real trivial thing. So to start with, what is IOT? I did a search for that exact expression, found a definition, maybe as good as any other. Not everybody agrees on what it means, but basic ideas, things that are connected to the internet, hence the term. The thing to really take away from the definition is that we're talking about things that are connected to the network that talk to each other without human intervention. That's the big difference from at least this definition that unlike a computer you would sit at, these devices are on their own. Now let's break that down a little bit. It starts about the internet of things, and so we have a bunch of things. These are things that I could find 3D models of on the internet easily. They may not be really typical things, but they're things that are connected to the internet. And they've got now the ability or some reason need to communicate with other devices over the network. What comes with that is our criminal. There's a much more opportunity now for these devices to be used for nefarious purposes. So if you go into Google and you type in IOT hacks and look around, there's another talk that really goes into depths on this. Five worst examples of IOT hacking and vulnerabilities in recorded history. You type this search in, I got 1.8 million results on IOT hacks just for that phrase. What are these worst examples? Probably the Marai Botnet is kind of famous. There's devices that were used to attack name servers on the internet just because they were vulnerable because they're connected. Then a lot of these really nasty things of cardiac devices that are hackable, this baby heart monitor web cams. The Jeep one, if you want to look into that, is really scary. Multiple systems on the car were needed. The ultimate vulnerability is the attackers were able to control the steering and the brakes of the vehicle remotely without needing any otherwise access. So clearly it's important security is important. I don't know if you know who James Mickens is. He gave a keynote talk at the recent Usenet Securities Summit and his comment was that IOT security is not interesting. The reason for this comment is that as far as he's concerned, there's nothing different about IOT. We've learned things the past 20, 30 years about how to do security and we should just do the same things. I don't necessarily agree with him, hence the point of this talk. But the other thing is he says that TLS is the only good thing that we have and I don't know if I really completely agree with that either. But the idea that we have a solution, we have ways of solving these problems of security. We just need to know how to do it. The IOT space brings in a lot of developers that have been used to devices that aren't connected to anything. And now we're talking to other devices and all these vulnerabilities come out. And we need to learn how to do this right. So it brings us to the topic of this talk. What are we talking about? The word IOT is very vast. It describes large devices. A lot of people when they think of IOT, they think of this, the Raspberry Pi. It's something they typically have a couple gigabytes of memory. There's flash drive on there. They run at gigahertz. They're kind of ordinary computers. They're just small. And this isn't really the point of my talk because if you want to do TLS on this device, it's running Linux. Link against open SSL. Write your application like you would on a desktop OS. And as he says, it's not very interesting. So I mean, there's a lot of IOT devices that are like this, my wonderful smart fridge. Things connected to mains. There's no reason to not put a Raspberry Pi in there or a full desktop machine. A lot of these smart fridges have. Just use TLS on this. Just do what you would with a regular connected device. The other end of the extreme, the other class of devices at the extreme are these really tiny types of IOT devices. You know, I'm thinking of things with like tens of kilobytes of memory and maybe a hundred kilobytes of flash and CPU that runs at 10 megahertz. And the example I gave here is a thing of a light bulb. This is not the kind of thing you really can run TLS on. We don't even have enough memory for the buffer for a minimum packet in TLS, let alone space to deal with an RSA key. So security is still important for these devices. It's a little beyond the scope of this talk. What you typically do is these devices talk with something much simpler to an edge device or gateway. And that's usually a machine running Linux, something like that. It uses open SSL and it just talks to the rest of the cloud, the internet, using things that we've learned how to do. So what are we interested in? What's the topic where I want to focus on in this talk is the toaster. And yeah, I pulled this out because it was a pretty nifty little model that I found without having to do any work. But there's a real IOT toaster. Somebody makes one of these. It's a completely pointless device, but it exists. The idea here is this area in the middle where maybe we have hundreds of kilobytes of memory, maybe a megabyte of flash and 10 to 100 megahertz CPU. We can't just say, oh, we can't do TLS because we don't have enough memory. We can, but it's hard. Another way to put it might be we can barely do TLS. We have enough resources, but just barely. And that's what I want to focus on in this talk is this class of devices right in the middle where we can do TLS, but it's kind of hard. So let's talk a little bit about TLS. How does TLS? The people who are younger than me would say. So typically networking stacks are divided into layers. Let's think of this thing on the left as an IOT device with its little network stacks of an application, maybe HTTP, MQTT, some kind of protocol. You have a TCP stack, IP, hardware, physical interface. Maybe this is a Linux machine in the cloud. It's got the same kind of stack. But you notice there's a green box, which is the kernel barrier on the Linux machine. And our IOT device, maybe it doesn't have kernel and user space. It's kind of small. That's kind of a lot to ask of it. So these might be system calls over here. These are maybe just function calls. But this is an insecure network protocol. We can do an HTTP-centered data, but it's completely interceptable. There's no security. So where do we put TLS? We just stick it in there. This is how it's done. This is how OpenSSL works. This is how most of these libraries work. The HTTP library, we kind of hack it up. Instead of calling open or socket, accept, connect, and read and write, well, we call those, but then we wedge these calls into the TLS library. And we do the same thing on both sides. And now we are communicating with TLS and everything's secure, right? So what's going on when you do this? So as I said, we have a socket connection. It's a stream. Data goes back and forth. It's reliable in the sense that it will get disconnected if there's something wrong and it will retry packets. But it's not secured in any way with cryptography. So TLS sits in the middle. These little boxes are packets sent back and forth with data that goes over the TCP connection that has enough information in it to establish a secure connection. And an interesting hint, when I wanted to come up with this diagram, I searched the internet for TLS handshake. And I found dozens and dozens of diagrams all different. And mostly wrong. This is probably wrong too, but this is based on a packet dump of me doing a TLS connection between my machine and I think Google or something. This is actually the data that went back and forth. There's some flexibility in terms of how this works. But basic idea. Client sends this hello packet, which has some cipher suites that it's willing to use. This random number sends it to the server. The server comes back with its own random number. The cipher suite that it chose, it sends over a server certificate. There's a key exchange part of this. And then the server says I'm done with my part of the hello. The client does its part of the key exchange. There's this magical packet called a change cipher, which is the barrier to when we now are doing an encrypted based on our negotiation of the cipher suite. We do this handshake. The server decides to do a change cipher. Do the encrypted and then everything down here is protected with that cipher suite. So there's a lot in here. What's important, the cipher suite here is how these two sides agree on what they're allowed, how we're going to communicate. And the cipher suite describes a lot. A particular algorithm for encryption and for authentication of the packets, in addition to how do we authenticate who the other party is. These are kind of the three important parts of communicating securely. We need to be able to keep the traffic from being observed by other parties. We need to know who we're talking to. And we need to make sure the data hasn't been tampered with when it's going back and forth. So the reason these are communicated is sometimes we find weaknesses in protocols. And that's kind of a difficulty with IoT is we don't have space in our code for a nice large TLS library. We usually have to pick a cipher suite we want. So if that thing becomes vulnerable and the server refuses to use that anymore, now we can't talk to anybody. Conclusion from that really is make sure that your software can be updated. Discover vulnerability. You need to push a new version out that supports another cipher suite that's robust. There's also these random numbers. And I could probably give a whole talk on random numbers. In fact, you could actually attend a whole conference on random numbers. And it's a topic you could make a career out of if you feel like it. What this amounts to is that the random numbers are critical to the security of these protocols. With commonly used cipher suites for web connections, the randomness from the client is the most important thing. It's the typical cipher suite with RSA that's used for most of the certificate exchanges. The entire keys that are used for this private communications come from this client randomness. If your client doesn't generate good random numbers or they're somewhat predictable, well, somebody intercepting your communication can now pretty easily figure out what's going on. If you go back to that search of IoT hacks, this is one of the biggest ones. There's a lot of devices out there that don't generate very good random numbers because it turns out it's hard. What it really comes down to is if you're building an IoT device, make sure the SOC you're using has support to help you generate these random numbers. It needs an entropy source, something unpredictable that can generate enough that's not predictable and you won't be able to just decode it. The scary thing about it is if you don't generate good random numbers, everything looks just fine. The packets don't look any different. The key exchange doesn't look any different. It's not until somebody actually knows and looks into this and figures out what's going on that it then becomes trivial. Rather than say you have a 128-bit key and you have to do two to the 128th computations, or half of that maybe, to decode what the key is and to guess it, if your random number source is just coming from a few little bits of entropy in your system, maybe you have to do two to the 16th work to try all of those. You suddenly went from this thing that's not solvable within the lifetime of the universe that we have left to something that can be solved in a few minutes and your communications are completely insecure. The other thing is this server certificate. There's two parts of this. I'm only showing one of them here. The client can actually do a certificate too. It's not very commonly used on the web because, well, certificates are hard for people to manage. It makes more sense in an IoT device and a lot of the cloud providers do that exactly. A notable example would be Google's IoT cloud service where instead of using the TLS handshake, they have this token that has to be signed and sent over. The important thing is the server sends over a certificate which contains, who am I? It's usually a domain, an address, some time validity, and then it's signed. Next place where a lot of IoT clients are vulnerable is they don't check the certificate. You could not check it at all, which basically leaves you completely vulnerable because anybody can generate a certificate and sign it, and if you don't care that it goes with the host that you're checking, then you don't even know who you're talking to. But that certificate then has to be signed by somebody you trust.  We'll get to in a minute why that's challenging. So I should move on because I do have more slides. Just a summary of what I was just talking about. The Cypher Suite Agreement is important. The verification of the certificate, it's not optional. You need to do this great hallway talk conversation. Somebody pointed out that TLS done incorrectly is worse than not using it at all. At least with no TLS, you know that your communication is insecure. There's nothing like having this false sense of security that, oh, we threw TLS at it, everything is secure, and yet it's no more secure than if you didn't use it at all. So what makes this hard? We're talking about these kind of memory constrained devices. A big thing is memory. The server certificate is on the order of kilobytes, but when you have tens of kilobytes of memory, that's a lot. You have maybe 100 kilobytes of memory. We need to store the server certificate. TLS has buffers. There is a 16 kilobytes send and receive record length that's part of the TLS spec. There is an extension that allows that to be negotiated, and I've never seen it implemented.  They still are assuming that I have 32 kilobytes of RAM readily available to buffer my protocol. Another one is time. Several things, getting randomness can take time. RSA operations are expensive. We need to be able to have enough computational resources to do the connection, and we'll get more into that. One thing I missed on memory. I mentioned the server certificate. The way these work with TLS is there's a certificate authority, a set of trusted entities that validate who hosts are on the internet, and they sign these with digital signatures, and your web browser has a list of these that are trusted currently, and every time you update your web browser, it updates the list of who's currently trusted. Right now, that list is about 200 kilobytes, which in an IoT device in one of these small devices, well, that's a quarter of my code space just for this certificate. Some good approaches would be for maybe the vendor to say, the cloud provider to say, well, you need to use this root certificate. We'll always sign it with this one. Back to the Google example. The best I could get out of them was, you need to use this list of 60 kilobyte list of certificates, which is still pretty crazy. And what ends up happening is you pick one, and then you make sure you can update your device when they have to move to a new certificate, because these do expire. They have time ranges on them. As I mentioned, randomness is key. Randomness is a critical thing to doing all of this. All right, so what's going on with these APIs? This is another area where this gets hard. The way TLS usually works, and this is based on OpenSSL or Embed TLS. They're very similar.  It doesn't really matter what those are. You have to initialize your random number generator, the SSL stack. You have to configure things. You have to initialize the certificate chain that you're using. You have to initialize your entropy source. You have to feed entropy to it. You have to set things up. You have to set the hostname that you're talking to on and on and on. The thing is, if you get one of these wrong, you leave it out, you don't configure it correctly, and everything still works. It's just, oh, we're now not actually verifying the certificate, or oops, we forgot to feed it randomness, but we're always using the same keys. So that's kind of messy. We'll get to that in a minute. Then we have sockets. We actually open a connection using whatever socket API we have, and then we use this set bio thing, which effectively hooks an underlying transmit and receive into the TLS stack so that the application then can do TLS read, TLS write, and the library knows how to go call those functions to transmit data. We start with a handshake and get into the application. What's important to realize is that when the application says TLS read or TLS write, that can result in more than just one call to read and write. There's a protocol that sits above the socket API, the TCP connection itself, the stream, and when you do a read, well, maybe I have to write some data, because maybe there's something pending, or when I wrote data, I'm waiting for a handshake back before I can write the next data, and the stuff that sits on top of it that's important.  It's important just because that's how the API is designed. So this is messy. Everybody has to do this. Every time you write an app, you do all of this, and you get it wrong. Pretty much guaranteed, you say, well, okay, I'm not. I'm just going to copy from some other app, except they got it wrong, too. And maybe you aren't keeping up on their bug lists to see that, oh, they fixed how they were using it, and I copied off of that one, because they weren't keeping up with the app that they copied it from, and the bug and vulnerability that was found in that. So it would be nice to get rid of all of this. There's kind of two ways that we can do this. So one of these I'm calling is stream abstraction, and if you've ever done TLS from something other than C, or C++, if you've used, and you pick it, Python, Go, Java, Rust, any kind of list of these more modern languages, this is what they do. They basically abstract the socket interface with some kind of stream product, some kind of way of transmitting data, and when you want to do a TLS connection, you also go through the same abstraction, you just start out by saying, well, I want it to be under TLS. This is really clean. The other way you can do this is you can try to bury the TLS connection under the socket API. This is done. Note that this is not really done in Linux. You can go find a presentation on how this is done in Linux, but it's not in the kernel. This is a project that somebody was working on. It does have the advantage of keeping the same API, but realistically the layering, it's the wrong place. If you're familiar with the way the layers are described, you have the transport layer. TLS is kind of the presentation layer. It sits between the application and it sits there, which is why OpenSSL did it the way it did it. The real problem there is that the API is convoluted and complicated, not that we put it in the wrong place. As far as that was concerned, well, naturally we chose the second approach. There's reasons for this. This isn't just because let's do it the wrong way because that's cool. There's a lot of reasons. There was already support for offloading, which does kind of the same thing where maybe we move TCP to a separate piece of hardware, but maybe that's hardware also supports TLS. It kind of makes sense to do that. The other really interesting reason is that abstractions are scary. I wish this wasn't true, but when you get to the embedded space, sometimes people see the word stream and it's frightening. So let's use the socket API because that's really familiar. Otherwise, it might look like classes and that might be too much like C++ and that'll scare us. So what's the problem with this? Remember I mentioned this complicated API that kind of assumes that you can't call back that everything is done from a single thread? Well, POSIX API isn't that way. You have this socket, you do a connect, and I have these functions send and receive or syscalls and you can call both of them from different threads. A lot of protocols, MQTT is like this, you have to be waiting for data to come in while you're also periodically sending data. And that's kind of messy. It doesn't really work. So in order to implement this, and as a status, this is not done yet, you have to actually do some of this really complicated stuff so that you have the socket API with connect and send and receive but when you do a send well it's got to call down to TLS read because we're not going to write our own TLS stack, we're using embed TLS. It's not re-entrant. So we need to call it in blocking mode use of mutex or something so that we don't actually re-enter into it. And then if it comes back and says that it would block we then queue ourselves up for something to wait. And then we return. Then the important thing down here is when the network packet actually comes in we then wake everybody up so they can figure out if there's more to do. This is needed in the general case. The other way to do this, the current way is you just call the socket API and use pull the pull call that's done the same way it is on Linux machines and you only call these when they would return data. So either of those works excuse me. So where are we at now as far as effort concerns? We have this sockets with TLS under it that merged not too long ago. The idea is that they've extended the setsock opt with some extra calls to give it certificates and effectively do that huge block of things that were initialization. The ones that are actual data you need to set like what root certificate do I trust maybe do I have a client certificate what's the host name I'm connecting to. That gets passed through and then you make a call that sets this up as a TLS connection and it does all the complicated stuff under the hood. There's stuff coming in Zephyr. Right now Zephyr is an intermediate transitionary stage with its networking stack. The networking stack previously was kind of sad at a weird fragment level.  The idea was to avoid having to do extra copies of the data pretty much decided kind of like with the TLS API we can actually do that right so let's just implement send and receive the socket API but there's work underway to change the rest of the code in Zephyr to use this and what this means is that means things like MQTT Time, JWT we're in the process of taking these calls to use this new kind of API but this is not actually merged yet with the changes that are pending. So that's kind of what I have as far as TLS goes and why it's hard and what we're doing about it with Zephyr I wanted to give a couple of minutes to see if anybody had any questions about anything that we covered here to point out that we do have a microphone so that it ends up on the recording so that I'm not just answering silence but opening it up for questions You touched on it briefly when you were talking about your certificates and being important to check them but if you don't have an RTC how do you establish that initial time zone in a safe way? Well the simple answer is you don't that's not the best answer the one that Google uses this whole java web token is even more strict because these tokens have to be you're supposed to know time within about 5 minutes you have to sign the thing with a timestamp that has a validity of about an hour whereas certificates are on the order of you know days, months that kind of thing that if your time is within a day or two you're probably okay what it really comes down to is it's important to check the timestamps on the certificates it's not as important as the other aspects I mean it's a less of a vulnerability because there are weak certificates that have been out there but that's not where most of the things have happened what it really comes down to is we haven't come up with a good solution to secure time you can put it on your hardware if you've got an RTC that works but if you don't have an RTC kind of the best you can do is go ask somebody what time it is on the internet and hope that they aren't lying to you I haven't seen a good solution to that even talking to the maintainers of NTP kind of haven't given a good solution to that it would be nice to have a good solution I wouldn't say it's a good solution but we assume that the root certs we have were in a valid time zone for the certs we have already on the box and then we do TLS talk to another web server and the time that it tells us while I'm trusting the server anyway so if you're telling me the time then I'm going to go with your timestamps but I'm not sure it's such a good idea but maybe there's nothing better actually we get the time from the same server that you are not near certs if we compromise the entity and if you're asking if there's going to be a time as well then you are in a way validating its original plan to skin the certs here then let it be but yeah so it's not a good idea I think the time server has to be a different entity but that doesn't always help either I mean if you're able to do a man in the middle attack you can intercept anything and the places these IOT devices get installed that's kind of something you just have to assume can happen you need to have the the challenge right and pretty much everybody's kind of there is work on secure NTP it's not really going anywhere currently because it's hard and difficult to do anything else question wise well thank you for coming oh we do have a question does the TLS help with anything or the problems are equally hard it's just UDP but that's it I wouldn't say the detail helps anything other than the problem it's trying to solve which is how do you do this with UDP and if anything it makes it slightly worse there's some extra complexity that there are some nice problems that we've solved with TCP dealing with denial of service types of things that you suddenly don't have those things helping you anymore so DTLS has to do some extra work to protect against that kind of attack but other than that it kind of is very similar to just doing TLS we haven't really gotten to the point of implementing this yet so basically it was the first stage we do want to do DTLS since there are protocols that need it I have a question so basically from what you're saying is that no one up until now did not start working on let's call it like a small version of an open SSL something that can be used on IoT devices so if you have the medium devices that you were talking about earlier no one who is really concerning of doing this kind of library let's call it which is able to run the TLS on these devices and be secure so that you don't copy from are you talking about the medium devices or the smaller ones because for the small ones I think no one should bother should bother that much about what can I do with there are actually things you can do with the smaller device you can offload your network stack to another processor to a dedicated device that handles that part for you that you ask it to make a TCP connection to a host and it does that now you have to make sure that that's secure we did one with an offloaded device that turns out doesn't actually check the root certificate of the server you're talking to so kind of pointless actually to use that device but as far as libraries yeah there's some libraries out there that have addressed different aspects of the problem even if you take something like I mean I'm most familiar with embed TLS there's um Zephyr has also a tiny Crip library which doesn't do TLS but for the smaller type of devices you may need a kind of lower level protocol and it will define specific simplified versions that are only for talking to an edge device but yeah I mean we do have code we just need to use it and we need to make it usable in an easier sense I think that's the real problem with them is people do a TLS API they just look at what OpenSSL did and do basically the same thing and that's kind of why we wanted to put it in here so that it's easier to use and possibly easier to use correctly does that help? yeah it does it's a developer you always rely on with Java support or for the OpenSSL so we don't really think about yeah which is a good thing that you can do that it just gets harder when you don't have enough memory to really do that alright anything else otherwise thank you for coming


Hey everybody, I'm having a little bit of a little bit of technical difficulties. I'm trying Give me one second. I'm trying to get this music playing here. It's not doing it Anyway, that's okay.

They are in need of a Shift in their health Lord God Lord, you know, I know what it feels like to Suffer with reproductive issues Lord and so many women are suffering in silence So Lord, I pray that you would just reach Reach down right now God and speak to their hearts Lord God and let them know that you are close and that you hear their prayers and That you that you are healing them because you are the healer you said in your word that you would bring it health and healing You went to the cross so that we would be healed you went to the cross for fibroids for cysts for infertility you went to to the cross for Traumas that happened that that Created these problems you went to the cross for these things God and we just thank you that You want us to be free in any lie that we believe that says that well I guess I will just have to live with this for the rest of our lives or For the rest of my life or I guess I'm just gonna have to do this or I'm guess I'm gonna have to do that because God's not answering me Lord. I pray that you would show up for your daughters Lord God Lord and when you show up I Ask you that you would speak clearly to them so that they can hear Whatever the instructions are That you have for them for their particular situation Lord God and Not only that they would hear your instructions Let me text my husband and get some water and not only that you would hear Their instructions Not only that they would hear your instructions, but they would follow through On those instructions One second. I'm sorry. I just need some water. I forgot to bring my water in here. Hopefully he can bring me some He's not in the meeting so So father Open our ears so that we can hear what you have to say about our circumstances and and help us to do Anything that we're supposed to do any follow-through on any instructions that that That we might have that we that you might have for us Lord Thank you Lord Thank you Lord. Give us the want to to do and do something different Give us the want to sometimes Lord. We don't want we want to but we don't want to change So Lord help us in our changing Help us and Lord where our hearts are closed off to you God I asked that you would help us to open up That we would open up our hearts Towards you Lord God that you would put a fever a fervor in us Towards you Lord God. I Don't know about you, but I have experienced times in my life where I've been so hurt because of circumstances that even though I loved God and I Knew that he was my answer. I Still was kind of closed off towards him because I was hurting and Knowing it wasn't his fault like he wasn't the reason for my pain But sometimes I would think well God you could have you could have did something about this you could have Changed the circumstances your God Almighty you could have made things different or you could have stopped that person from dying Or you could have stopped this situation or that situation like there's all these things that I would imagine in my head About what I thought he could do or what he what I thought he should have did for me purse for my personal situation and what I learned in that is Sure, he could he probably could have like come and zapped me and straight into my situation out but each one of those Circumstances that I was faced with That he could have did those things with if I had not walked through them and gotten Prayed to him and gotten close to him to see what his word says about it I wouldn't be the person that I am Because I would not have had a reason to pursue it I would not have had a reason anything to overcome so that I could offer somebody else so What I know about God's character is that he takes the things that are Messed up in our lives and he will turn them into something good.

So it has a legal right to be there So what if I were in your situation what I would be doing is I'd be saying god What's in my heart? That that is going on that is allowing This open door to be here first off And why does this spirit of depression have access to my life? What is it that i'm doing?  I'm just using that example I don't know what the thing is But there's a reason why this depression is allowed to hang around so you have to address Why the depression is able to hang around and when you address that It could be forgiving yourself for giving somebody else. I mean god will show you show you cammy just say hey lord What is why why does this depression have access to my life? What is what's in the way? Why am I why am I Just depressed. I don't want to be depressed.

I speak peace You know how jesus spoke to the storm And he said peace be still I speak to your life and say peace be still and receive that peace Because god has wants us to be at peace. I mean jesus said That he's leaving when he went before he ascended before he died and before he ascended What was it before he's? I think it was um After he died and rose and before he ascended he said peace um I leave with you Not the kind of peace that the world gives But his kind of peace the peace that happens That you could that will with withstand will that will withstand sustain you sorry even Into multiple circumstances even when your circumstances are a little bit rocky You still can have peace you can still walk in peace your peace Is not determined um Your peace is is is Should not be determined by what your circumstances look like so if you're struggling doesn't mean you shouldn't have peace If you're happy It seems like that's the only time that people will have peace when things are going their way But we're supposed to have peace regardless. That's the kind of god we serve. He settles us You're welcome miss Fatima. Let's see. What is this question? What is the benefit of fennel seeds?

They're not going to get away with anything God will deal with them if they did something But it's for your sake so that you can live at peace let's see My contract job is ending this month pray for me about To attend an interview for a new job this coming april Okay, so father in jesus name. I lift up my sister or not just I thank you first of all That she she wants to come to you for the answers and not the things of the world for the answers So thank you for that and lord you said in your word that you already know what we have need of before we even ask So lord, I pray that you would um Provide for your daughter liberally And father she's gonna need a job So if this new job that she's gonna be interviewing for is the one for her lord I pray you would open the doors and that nobody would be able to shut them But god if this isn't the job I pray you would direct her to the job that is hers in the mighty name of jesus amen I have been following the diet strictly. I'm hungry most of the time. I have lost so much weight I was already slim. I'm five nine. So miss jasmine what I would do is There's some there's a couple videos on my channel. So go to my channel page and search for the video that says something like um How not to lose weight while shrinking fibroids or something like that and a shoot a few videos will show up and it'll give you some tips but quickly Most of the time when people are losing weight It's because they're not eating enough And you're saying that you're following the diet strictly if you haven't been in my program Then you probably don't know exactly what to do as far as the the the process is for Healing fibroids most people don't because whenever I find out what people are eating when they tell me this Nine times at a time. They're not they're not doing it quite right and the second thing is Um We don't want to lose weight but sometimes we need to lose that toxic weight That is on our bodies So that our bodies can actually heal and then we can gain the weight Back in a healthy way. So I don't know what your what your issue is because I don't know anything about your situation But if you go watch those videos that are on my channel, they they will help you But I pray that the lord would lead you and guide you Into all truth as you walk through this journey with your eating your weight and following the diet and actually how to do it and everything so In jesus name Okay, hey miss chelsea d.  Okay, so i'm not really sure what kind of cramps you're talking about like Are they menstrual cramps? Are they is it digestive cramps? Like what kind of cramps are you are you referring to? That will be helpful. But lord, I pray that you would stop these these um gut cramps that she's having in jesus name Thank you lord Asking god to remove every tiny bitterness in my heart despite what they are doing. Yes I am in agreement with you anybody who has this Please grab ahold of this lord wash us in your blood Cleanse us from all unrighteousness Help us not to be bitter Lord, you are the one that vindicates us You are the one who goes before us and fights our battles. So lord, I pray that you vengeance is yours So I pray that you would minister to anyone's heart that is struggling Not to be bitter In the name of jesus Thank you lord Let's see where are we miss chelsea d? Letting go of bitterness amen Amen miss fatima Letting releasing bitterness today in the name of jesus Is it okay to take a glass of wine at all while trying to string fibroids? I wouldn't drink alcohol While doing that because Alcohol is one of those things that feeds fibroids. So I know it's rough You know to let go of all those things, but I wouldn't drink it Let's see Tears are hey Just requesting prayer to move completely past fear in my life Not just staying on the shore, but going deeper in my life And in christ, I love that it reminded me of that song um I think it's jet her name is jennifer johnson with baffle music Where she's talking about um Going deep into the water um where Like she doesn't have any more control anymore like she's kind of lets herself go So father in jesus name, I lift up my sister tears of lord god and I pray That you would break that spirit of fear off of her life That you would completely deliver her from fear lord. Whatever's at the root of that fear I pray that you would heal it now in the name of jesus And father as as she is being healed help her to trust you and to go deeper with you In every area of her life Help her not to shrink back when you tell when you tell her to to move forward in the name of jesus My doctor recommended low estrogen birth control pills to help with fibroid sound counter productive to me Do you have any advice? So i'm not a doctor, but I would never take birth control pills ever ever ever. That's my personal personal um opinion I wouldn't take them. I have taken them So that's why I know the answer to this question is what it is for me But you have to make that decision yourself like I I can't but I would never do it But I I can't see a reason for it if you keep on doing what you're doing You keep on living a healthy lifestyle and getting your heart cleaned out and getting your life cleaned out The fibroids are gonna go away. I think I think what um The issue is is that it's hard work to do Do the work. It's hard work to do the work So Anyway, so there's that I'm taking Ayurvedic medicine for fibroids. Please pray. I am pray I be healed I pray lord that you would break that spirit of fibroid off of Your daughter's life god and pray that you would heal her That you would cause her to be successful in her endeavors for health and healing lord in jesus name And I pray you would heal her heart there they're just from a um From a natural perspective like your life circumstances and I don't know much about your life circumstances except what you've mentioned here But what I from what I can see from from that little bit That needs to be cleaned up because I think it's hindering you Your your personal life there. It needs to be cleaned up because it it is hindering you And if I were in your shoes, I would be seeking god for instructions on what to do about that Because as long as this is going on like that You won't be able to focus on feeling better because you're you're constantly being hurt all the time And one of the things I teach is that if there's something you can control in your life If there's something in your life that you can control To to change to make things better for yourself Then you should do it if they're if there is a way if not then that's the whole another thing But a lot of times we're in situations We do things And we're we're not trying to do things to hurt ourselves But sometimes we do and we stay in these situations and it just makes our lives miserable when we don't have to be So take that for what it is. I'm not I don't know everything but I'm wise enough to know that Sometimes we cause our own problems Because we won't make different decisions. So There you have it lots of love coming your way though Hey, miss carolin lots of love to you blessings to you dear sister. I speak life over you in jesus name Amen. Well the fibroid eventually dissolve or does it come out?  I miss you more chelsea Hey, chelsea. I got your email this morning. I don't like it I don't like it Is it okay? Let's see. Is it okay to eat sugar cane and pumpkin with fibroids?  Um You have to do it carefully and it has to be fresh sugar cane like the cane not sugar not like putting sugar on your food But like taking a sugar cane and putting it through the juicer or something like that That's what I mean. Let's see. I'm struggling Dealing with all my emotions that are bubbling up while eating raw Okay, so I'm gonna pray for you miss angelique But I'm gonna ask you this What can and anybody who is struggling with emotions? Okay, and we all do because we're human, right? It's joy around if joy is around let me know um What can any emotion do so if it comes up?   It doesn't mean you need to do anything with the emotion the emotion can just sit there it can just be there but The thing you can do with the negative if it if it's a negative emotion It means that you need some healing on the inside so if the emotions that are coming up are anger or fear or um Sadness or something like that You have to take that To god and say okay god. Why am I feeling all this anger? Why is all this anger coming up if you really don't know? And then so let's pray father in jesus name My my sisters have emotions coming up whenever they eat the healthy food because the healthy food doesn't numb out the pain So father i pray right now that you would go and heal the trauma that created the emotions Father would you help us to do something different when emotions come up?

It didn't solve the problem What solves the problem is you taking good care of yourself. Don't what I mean is don't slack Don't let because you feel better. Um Get you can place it.

Don't write emails like that Thank you for the prayer chelsea is the song you were referencing oceans.

Do you have things going on with your heart? Ask a god if that's for you too Do you have high cholesterol? Do you have? um heart palpitations Do you eat fatty food that kind of thing? It could be for you too because I have known god to use a word to Like he put a picture of one person in my mind But it could be for multiple people. So if it's for you grab ahold of it and take heed to it Let's see. Maybe I need to eat more.  So you're doing the right thing miss jasmine, but it sounds like you do need to eat more if you're and and if You're losing weight, but maybe you need to lose weight.

Mitria rincids were a group of extinct marine reptiles that lived during the Jurassic and early Cretaceous periods.  A new species has been discovered, Torvanus gerensis, which is characterized by its smooth cranium, a cute zippodont teeth and an enamel ornamentation consisting of multiple apico-basal ridges that shift into smaller ridges near the apex of the crown. This discovery helps us better understand the evolutionary trends within the genus Torvanus, providing new insight into the evolution of these ancient creatures. This article was authored by Leah C.

Member for Nicol Belt. Thank you, Speaker. This Friday night, I will be joining the members of the Cape Reel Curling Club for the Ladies Bonds Field. The event culminates with a banquet dinner on Saturday night, with entertainment provided by Sudbury-owned Johnny Rock. The Cape Reel Curling Club has been in operation for almost 100 years, and it is a pillar of this small community. It is a place where people go to draw a few rocks, see a few friends, socialize. It is a well-loved club. However, this event could be the last. The club's insurance providers have increased their fees by 35% last year and 150% this year. The small volunteer board is at an impasse. COVID has shut them down for most of the last two years. Revenues are way down, and then this huge insurance bill. Unfortunately, Cape Reel is not alone. The Cartier Community Centre has also been hit with a massive increase in insurance cuts, forcing them to put their community centre up for sale just to cover their debts to insurance companies. This will leave another small community with nowhere to host dinners, bingos, fall fairs, a Halloween party, and other community-building events. The Minister of Finance has tools at this disposal to rein in those astronomical increase in insurance premium for community hall. He needs to step in before those not-for-profit organisations that brings their community together, close their door permanently. Thank you, Speaker. Thank you. Member Statements. Member for Whitby. Thank you, Speaker. January 6th was an exciting day for the residents from across the entire region of Durham. That's when Lakeridge Health Staff announced that the town of Whitby had been selected as the preferred site for the new region of Durham Hospital. I want to thank the site selection independent expert panel and Lakeridge Health for their due diligence, transparency and efforts through this process. Speaker, the integrity of this process was overseen by a fairness adviser, and the site recommendation made to the Lakeridge Health Board of Trustees by the independent expert panel with no prior connection to the region of Durham. Speaker, the town of Whitby's Hospital Task Force has been working diligently over the past two years to ensure that the best site was selected to serve residents from across the region of Durham. Thank you to the members of the task force for their commitment and outstanding work. Speaker, I applaud Lakeridge Health's selection of this central location in Whitby, which offers unparalleled connectivity from any direction so that when seconds and minutes count, those residents who need critical care across the region of Durham can get it fast. Thank you, Speaker. Thank you. Member Statements. Member for Windsor West. Thank you, Speaker. I rise today, the day after International Women's Day, to recognize the barriers women continue to face in my community and across this province. Over the last two years, our frontlines have been staffed with essential workers in our hospitals, long-term care homes, group homes, schools, grocery stores and retail shops.  Personal support workers and developmental service workers have yet to see a permanent pay increase throughout this pandemic.  These are all positions predominantly held by women. Women continue to disproportionately bear the brunt of child care as Ontario remains the only province that has not signed on to the $10 a day child care deal. Ontario deserves the government that will combat gender-based violence, inequality and take action to improve the lives of women across the province. I want to recognize organizations in my community that continue to support and provide resources to women during the pandemic and beyond. Nisa Holmes, House of Sophocene, the Welcome Centre Shelter for Women, Black Women for Forward Action, Women's Enterprise Skills Training of Windsor, Hiatus House, Windsor Women Working with Immigrant Women, Trans Wellness Ontario and the numerous women that work within the labour movement. These are just a few of the many incredible organizations in Windsor Essex that deserve our gratitude for their dedication to breaking barriers and improving the lives of women in my community. We must commit to ensuring a brighter future for women in Ontario. Thank you. Member Statements. Member for Oakville North, Burlington. Thank you, Speaker. The month of March is Hellenic Heritage Month in Ontario, and this is the third year of official recognition by the Ontario Legislature. I was honoured to introduce the bill to proclaim this month in Ontario, and I want to thank all of my colleagues in this House for providing unanimous support. People of Hellenic origin have lived in Canada since before Confederation, with the community gaining its start in Ontario early in the 20th century, building schools and churches. Today, there are more than 270,000 Hellenic Canadians, more than half in Ontario. Ontarians of Hellenic origin have excelled in many fields, business, education, sports, entertainment, even a few of us in politics. The history of Greece extends back thousands of years. Athens gave us the first democracy. Philosophers such as Socrates, Plato and Aristotle explained the world to us. Greek civilization is part of the foundation of the world, both in the west and in the Islamic world. During Hellenic Heritage Month this year, the Acropolis Museum in Athens, with the permission of the Ministry of Culture of the Hellenic Republic, has loaned to the Royal Ontario Museum an exquisite statue, more than 2,500 years old, called Cori 670. This loan officially marks the 80 years of diplomatic relations between Greece and Canada. I encourage members to visit the ROM to see the Cori and other examples of the heritage of Greece from March 12th to September 22nd. Hellenes are proud of our heritage and proud to share it with the world. Members' statements to Member for Parkdale High Park. Thank you, Speaker. $5.5 billion. That is the amount according to the latest report from Ontario's Financial Accountability Office that the Ford government failed to distribute in already budgeted funding so far this fiscal year. That includes 670 million in public health, 554 million in education, and 226 million in autism programs. Speaker, the Ford government failed to distribute 160 million in housing and homelessness programs, while more and more Ontarians find themselves homeless, living on the streets, and shelters have to turn people away because they are overcrowded. The Ford government also failed to distribute $1.1 billion in social services, while Ontarians on ODSP are expected to live on $1,200 a month and those on OW are expected to live on $730 a month. Speaker, I want to stress, this is not new spending, this is allocated funding, funding that the government plans to distribute. The Ford government is failing to do its primary job of distributing funding to programs and services that have already been committed to. The people of this province deserve basic competency from their government, but the Ford Conservatives have once again failed spectacularly. Thank you. Before I ask for the next member's statement, I'm going to ask the House to please quiet and down so that they can hear the member that's got the floor. Thank you. The next member's statement, the member for Orléans. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, and good morning. Yesterday we celebrated International Women's Day, and the theme for this year's campaign was Break the Bias. There are many ways and actions we can take to help break the bias, Mr. Speaker, but one place we can start is by empowering girls and women at a very early age. We need to empower girls by telling them that they can and should pursue the sciences, that they can and should pursue technology and engineering, that they can and should pursue math, Mr. Speaker, and that they can and should participate in any sport that they enjoy playing. We know just how important role models are, especially at an early age, and this is why we need more female representation in sports, in politics and frankly everywhere to help empower our youth. Over the last few years, Mr. Speaker, the Cumberland Panthers Football Club have been recruiting girls and encouraging more to challenge the gridiron. My son has had several girls on his tackle football team and they played key roles in the team's success, and those successes keep on coming, Mr. Speaker. I want to congratulate the Cumberland Panthers for winning a grant from NFL Canada to create a fully independent girls' tackle football program, the first youth girls' tackle football program in all of Ontario. It's exciting to see more and more women and girls get involved in tackle football, especially because it's seen as traditionally a sport for men and boys. Mr. Speaker, we aren't too far from seeing a woman break into the professional ranks of football, and frankly I'm very excited to see it. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Yes, again, the volume of your private conversations is such that it's very, very difficult for me to hear the member who has the floor, if you want to converse with a colleague or someone you haven't seen for a while, we understand that, but please quiet and down. The next member's statement, the member for Etobicoke Lakeshore. Mr. Speaker, this past weekend I had the honour of attending the Tibetan Canadian Culture Centre in my riding of Etobicoke Lakeshore to celebrate Lozar, year of the Water Tiger. This government and all of us here recognise and celebrate the many contributions that Tibetan people have to our province, cultural tapestry, acknowledging that the first Tibetan immigrants to take shelter on our shores were among the first non-European refugees in the early 1970s. Today, some 5,000 Tibetan Canadians call Ontario home, many in my riding of Etobicoke Lakeshore. And that's why our government committed $50,000 in 2021-22 to support some of the efforts at the Centre for Staffing Costs and Online Programs to allow Ontarians to learn more about the fabled history and the culture of Tibet. And I just want to thank the Board of Directors for all the hard work they did throughout COVID and making sure that meals were fed to the community. They just did outstanding work. And that's why this House actually unanimously declared July as Tibetan Heritage Month, which coincides with the birth month of His Holiness. So this morning in these difficult days, I'd like us to pause and reflect on the meeting of Lozar, year of the Water Tiger, 2149. Let's say goodbye to all the things that have troubled us during the year gone by. Let's cleanse our surroundings. Let's look forward to a hearty bowl of gutak. And let's offer our praise to the three jewels, Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. And above all, let's reflect on the words of Lama Taptan Yeshi, who in his greetings for this auspicious year said the following. We should train ourselves not to become engrossed in any of the thoughts continuously arising in our minds. Our consciousness is like a vast ocean with plenty of space for thought and emotion to swim about. And we should not allow our attention to be distracted by any of them. Thank you and Lozar, Tashi Delay. Speaker, I became involved in politics because liberals cut and underfunded education while children with special needs and mental health needs were shuffled into classrooms without supports. Liberals called this inclusion, but to anyone with a conscience, denying students with supports is abandonment. Healthcare, home care and long-term care are also grossly underfunded. The pandemic has added incredible strains and this government is using the backlog as an excuse to kick open the door to privatization. My constituent Rhonda wrote to me, although privatization is against the law, the provincial government has figured out how to get around it. And the provincial government continues to underfund our social safety net. Our current lack of medical care, hospital beds, surgery care, home care and long-term care staff are all the results of years of cut back policies. The neoliberal approach to care is unacceptable. Rhonda is spot on. Ontario is the richest province yet we spend $2,000 less per resident per year than other provinces. We have the lowest hospital funding, fewest hospital beds and fewest nurses. We can start by scrapping Bill 124. Liberals opened the door to privatization and health care and the conservatives are bulldozing ahead and have a long track record of an uncomfortably close relationship with long-term care profiteers. No one should make money off of someone's ill health or old age, full stop. Ontarians deserve a government that will invest in supports that matter, ensuring seniors stay in their homes longer with high quality public funded health home care. When people do enter long-term care an NDP government would ensure the high quality publicly funded homes are as much like their home as possible. An NDP government would invest in the things that matter most and I look forward to the brighter future for Ontario when we form government in June. Thank you. Next we have the member for Mrs. Saga Center. Thank you Mr. Speaker. This is the month of Francophonie. This is the moment to recognize the important place of the French-speaking communities in our province. With more than 300 million in the world, French is a really global language that covers many cultures. In Canada, French is not only a way of communication but it is actually also our heritage and this is why our government has worked very hard in order to support all services in French. I'm very proud of our government which has been the first one to modernize the law for the French Services Act and after the International Day for Women's Rights, I would like to support the Minister for French Language Services who has worked very hard in order to develop the services in French services and she has worked very hard in order to invest 12 million and a half in order to develop French in Ontario and to eliminate barriers to all these programs. Mr. Speaker, French speakers in Ontario have a very important place in our province and they and we are very proud of everything that they have done. So we should take the opportunity of being in this house and we should think on all the successes of people who work in French. So we hope the French language services will continue. Thank you, speakers. Communities across Algoma, Manitoulin are facing a shortage of doctors leaving people without access to care when they need it. The North Shore Health Network has been looking for a permanent coverage for the Thessalon hospital for months. This has left the community in a constant state of worry that they will not be able to get the services when they need them. In December there were serious concerns that the emergency department in Thessalon would have no coverage at all. No one in Ontario should have to worry about whether they will be able to see a doctor when they are experiencing a medical emergency. Speaker, we are in crisis. Every community in Northern Ontario is being affected by the lack of family and community physicians. In towns like Gore Bay and Bruce Mines, physicians cannot keep up with the workload they expected to take on. Doctors are burnt out. Their roster are overloaded and in many cases there are the only immediate point of care for a community. The Northern Ontario School of Medicine has called for the government to allow more students to be admitted in its School of Medicine and Residence program to address the Northern shortages. I'm going to be walking over this proposal expansion of Huron Shores family health team modernizing the delivery of primary care and integrated and collaborative model over to the minister after question period. Speaker, this will not solve all of the issues but it will sure as heck bring us to a path where we will be able to start addressing the doctor shortages and coverage in across Algoma Manitoulin. Thank you very much. That concludes our member statements for this morning. The member for London West has informed me she has a point of order. She wishes to raise. Thank you. Thank you, Speaker. Speaker, I seek unanimous consent to move a motion without notice regarding private members motion 40 in the name of Mr. Hassan calling on the Ford government to bring Bill 86, our London Family Act back from committee and pass it before the end of the 42nd Parliament making it clear that Islamophobia and hate have no place in Ontario and that the question be put without debate or amendment. Now, is Peter at the same point of order? Yes, Mr. Speaker. As you know, we made the move last week to move the bill directly to committee before second reading. Of course, that move we have since consulted with the NCCM, they are of course in favour of that move, Mr. Speaker. We want to ensure that the bill gets an appropriate hearing at second reading before it comes back. As you will know, Mr. Speaker, the member also had another private members bill which we sought to have available for debate this Thursday. It was the only other bill that he had available for private members business. Unanimous consent was of course denied by the opposition to allow us to debate Black Mental Health Month that was sponsored by the members. So in support of what the ministers have been doing, we will of course not be supporting this unanimous consent motion today, Mr. Speaker. We have worked closely with the community and we will do the proper job at the study committee. Okay, the request, the member for London West was seeking the unanimous consent of the House to move a motion without notice. I don't have the text, it was complicated. I don't have the text of the actual request for consent. If I could have it, I could read it again. Thank you. Member for London West is seeking the unanimous consent of the House to move a motion without notice regarding private members motion number 40 in the name of Mr. Hassan. Calling on the Ford government to bring bill 86, our London family act back from committee and pass it before the end of the 42nd Parliament, meaning it clear that Islamophobia and hate have no place in Ontario in the question we put without debate or amendment. Agreed? Agreed. I heard a no. Member for London West on another point of order. Yes, thank you, Speaker. I rise under Standing Order 101A that deals with private members public business and I want to point out that procedurally, Speaker, all of the steps that are outlined in this standing order were followed by the member for York Southwest. In particular, Standing Order 101B talks about the process of a ballot draw to determine the order for consideration of the items of business and that all those all members names who are eligible for private members public business are entered into that draw. This member went through that process and his name was drawn for tomorrow, March 10th. Understanding Order 101E, there is a notice requirement that member met the notice requirement. This government took away that notice requirement by removing the ballot item from the from the order paper. So, Speaker, I would encourage the government to think about what this means to the ability of that private member to bring forward important business for consideration by this House. On the same point of order, Government House Leader. It's very important that that I comment on that. The member brought forward a bill, a very important bill that was supported by members of the community, supported by many members of this government. The decision was made to take the private members bill and send it directly to committee for study. We did that with the knowledge that the member also had another bill on the order paper for private members business. It was, if I'm not mistaken, the member can correct me, a bill with respect to black mental health that was available for the member to debate in his private member spot this Thursday. The member opposite now will have two bills. He could have had, excuse me colleagues, two bills which could have been brought to this House, two private members bill, the Family Act which will be brought back to the House of the Conclusion of Committee Study and he could have had this other bill Mr. Speaker. It was the opposition that chose not to give him consent to debate his private members bill this Thursday. Government House Leader is going to come to order. Government House Leader is warned. I listened to the point of order that was raised by the member for London West and I don't believe that there's anything procedurally out of order in terms of what has happened here but I would say that the member for York Southwest and as far as we know conformed with the standing orders in terms of his approach. I think that there's a possibility this could be resolved through discussion and hopefully that that can take place. Further discussion amongst the House leaders and a resolution might be found in the time we have available but I don't find that there's anything procedurally out of order in what's happened. On a happier note, I am very pleased to inform the House that Benjamin Selmy from the Riding of Essex is today's Page Captain. We have with us today at Queen's Park his mother Barbara Link. We're also joined by the family of Page Captain Paniya Gnianan from the Riding of Barry Innisfil and her mother or the mother Mojin Amadee Ndushan and the father Hamdi Ghaishan as well as the sister Paradee Gnianan. Welcome to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
