Dr. Claudia do Santos, a physician and scientist at Toronto’s St Mike’s hospital, says her research was spurred on by the case of a 22-year old man with pneumonia. She spoke with guest host Kathy Hyde.

    June 14 2025-Vacationing Caregivers and Tourism Travel Crackdowns There are 4 million family caregivers in Ontario providing support to ill or aging loved ones and while it’s meaningful work, they experience high levels of burn out, so getting away on a summer vacation is an important time to recharge. If you’re caring for a vulnerable loved one, planning your own summer vacation can feel overwhelming, with so many responsibilities at home. We reached Amy Coupal, the CEO of the non profit Ontario Caregiver Organization for tips on how to plan a fun, low-stress summer getaway. And Before you leave on that dream European vacation, do your research as you may be surprised to find new rules to crack down on overtourism. In some countries, you’ll face a fine if you wear your swimsuit anywhere but on the beach, or stroll shirtless down a boardwalk, or light a cigarette on the beach. As part of a growing movement to combat over tourism this weekend, activist groups are staging massive protests across several cities with marches, pickets at airports and tour bus blockage and more. We reached tourism expert, Dr. Guillem Colom-Montero, a professor at the University of Glasgow.
