When violence becomes “justice” — A look at why some Americans now justify attacks on political figures and what this reveals about the nation's mental and moral health.

    Canada at a Crossroads: Tech Flight, Taxes & an Ostrich Farm Standoff

    Guests John Turley-Ewart — Risk management consultant specializing in capital markets with extensive experience on Bay and Wall Streets; Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist; contributor to The Globe & Mail. Katie Pasitney — with the Universal Ostrich Farm in Edgewood, BC. Segment 1 — “Dear Canada: Nobody's Coming to Save Us” Turley-Ewart unpacks his Globe & Mail piece and argues Canada is losing ground on productivity, capital, and talent. Why cheering a proposed US$100,000 H-1B fee is “self-delusion”: high-skill workers and companies still prefer the U.S. Tech drain: startups headquartering abroad to raise more capital; policy programs seen as out of touch with operators. Structural headwinds: tax burden, weak industrial investment since the early '80s, and health-care capacity gaps. What to fix: rebuild manufacturing, unlock LNG/natural resources, drop interprovincial barriers, reward investment, and create policy certainty that beats (not just matches) the U.S. Fiscal reality check: rising deficits/debt squeeze future social spending and opportunity for younger Canadians. Segment 2 — Edgewood Ostrich Farm vs. CFIA Katie Pasitney updates the legal fight over the flock after earlier bird deaths linked to avian influenza. Farm seeks independent testing of the surviving ostriches; says offers to fund testing have been rebuffed. Interim stay in place; concerns raised about animal care, community tensions, and the costs of enforcement. Core question: if birds are healthy and not shedding, should culling proceed—or should testing decide the outcome? Segment 3 — Does Staging Sell Homes? A pro stager and a veteran realtor weigh in: staging helps buyers visualize living in the space and can reduce objections. Typical playbook: neutral décor, rentals for key rooms, curb-appeal tune-ups; agents often cover staging costs. Market nuance: still-hot pockets vs. buyer's-market caution; write appliances (make/model) into offers to avoid swaps.
