RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com

For two years, RegWatch has documented the mounting challenges faced by Ontario’s health service providers—physiotherapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists—who deliver essential rehabilitation treatments to victims of auto accidents. These critical practitioners are nearing a breaking point as outdated reimbursement rates and relentless administrative demands leave them burned out and patients underserved.

In the spring of 2024, the Doug Ford Progressive Conservative government made commitments in Ontario’s budget, promising much-needed relief for health service providers.

Today, we’re joined by Darryl Tempest, CEO of HRC Innovations, for an update on the status of these reforms.

Has the Ford government delivered on its promises?

Seeds of public health’s war on vaping were planted decades ago during the fight against secondhand smoke. What began as a strategy to combat smoking has evolved into a campaign of deception—one that distorts science, spreads misinformation, and undermines harm reduction.

WATCH PART 1 NOW | Discover how the campaign began and set the stage for this explosive second installment—only on GFN.TV.

Joining us again for Part 2 of our special series is Dr. Michael Siegel, a professor of public health at Tufts University and long-time advocate for tobacco harm reduction. Dr. Siegel traces the origins of this campaign of deception and reveals how it now dominates the FDA and CDC, leading to regulatory failures that demonize vaping, hand control of the industry to Big Tobacco, and fuel a thriving black market.

Why are public health agencies scheming to destroy vaping?

In this episode of RegWatch, Brent Stafford interviews Clive Bates, renowned tobacco control policy expert, to unpack what’s at stake for millions of American vapers.

Should Trump’s team reform the system—or burn it all down?

In today's interview, we discuss the Tobacco Transformation Index, a tool that measures tobacco companies' progress toward a smoke-free world.
