On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Shelly Hartfield, Vice President of Destinations for Victory Cruise Lines. Shelly shares how her passion for destinations evolved from a career in maritime operations into a role focused on creating meaningful connections between travelers and communities throughout the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence Seaway, Atlantic Canada, and the U.S. East Coast. We explore the power of collaboration in cruise tourism, how unexpected challenges often lead to remarkable guest experiences, and why destination stewardship, community partnerships, and strategic planning are at the heart of successful cruise itineraries. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Shelly's career journey led her to become a champion for destination-focused cruise experiences Why Victory Cruise Lines views destinations as communities rather than simply ports of call How understanding traveler motivations helps create more meaningful and memorable experiences What cruise operators can learn from unexpected disruptions and the opportunities they create How collaboration between cruise lines, ports, and destinations benefits entire communities Why destination discovery often requires getting off the beaten path and experiencing places firsthand How sustainability initiatives can simultaneously improve visitor experiences and support local economies Viewing Destinations Through a Community Lens Shelly believes the difference between a city and a destination lies in its people, culture, and stories. At Victory Cruise Lines, this perspective shapes how itineraries are developed and how experiences are curated for guests. Rather than simply bringing travelers to a port, the goal is to connect them with the character of a place and the people who call it home. This philosophy aligns closely with the interests of Victory's guests, many of whom are experienced travelers seeking authentic cultural experiences, local history, and meaningful interactions. Shelly shares how these travelers often seek out conversations with residents and appreciate opportunities to learn about communities beyond the typical visitor experience. By focusing on these connections, cruise travel becomes a gateway to deeper destination discovery. When Necessity Becomes Innovation Tourism is filled with variables that cannot be controlled, and cruising is no exception. Weather events, changing water levels, and unexpected operational challenges can quickly require an itinerary to change course. Shelly explains that success in these moments depends on preparation, transparency, and a culture of collaboration across the organization. She shares memorable examples where last-minute changes resulted in unexpected guest favorites. What began as logistical challenges became opportunities to introduce travelers to communities and experiences that were never originally planned. These moments reinforced an important lesson: flexibility and creative problem-solving often reveal hidden gems that might otherwise go undiscovered. Through proactive communication and contingency planning, challenges become opportunities to create unique and memorable experiences for guests. Collaboration as a Driver of Destination Success One of Shelly's strongest beliefs is that collaboration and competition can coexist. Cruise lines may compete for guests, but they share a common interest in supporting the destinations they visit. Whether coordinating schedules to share limited dock space or working together to advocate for infrastructure improvements, collaboration creates benefits that extend beyond any single company. Shelly also discusses how destination partnerships contribute to sustainability and long-term economic development. From encouraging repeat visitation to exploring alternatives to printed materials through digital solutions, she sees opportunities for destinations and cruise operators to work together in ways that improve the visitor experience while reducing waste and increasing measurable impact. Ultimately, Shelly views every cruise itinerary as a collection of stories. Each destination contributes a chapter, and every community plays a role in shaping the traveler's experience. Through thoughtful partnerships, strategic planning, and a commitment to showcasing authentic places and people, cruise tourism can become a powerful catalyst for community growth and destination stewardship.

This week on The Dawg and Gus Show, we welcome Dee Hernandez, a Cuban-born, Atlantic Canada-based artist whose music is a vibrant blend of Afro-Cuban rhythms, jazz, soul, R&B, and contemporary storytelling.Dee shares her incredible journey from rural Havana to the Canadian music scene, including the life-changing decision to leave Cuba at just 16 years old and pursue a future built around music and freedom. We dive into the experiences that shaped her artistry, the cultural influences behind her sound, and how she continues to connect audiences through songs rooted in resilience, identity, and self-discovery.We also discuss her recent releases, her growing recognition across Canada's music scene, including multiple East Coast Music Award nominations, and the stories behind songs that reflect both her personal journey and her Cuban heritage.This is an inspiring conversation about courage, creativity, and finding your voice no matter where life takes you.

Dan Ahlstrand and Clinton Wilkins discuss the Canadian mortgage market and real estate trends. 

Matt Bishop returns to the In Squash Podcast for a conversation that dives deep into the Atlantic Canada squash scene—past, present, and where the game is heading. A long-time Nova Scotia provincial champion, multi-time Atlantic Open winner, and Canadian age-group national champion, Matt shares reflections on longevity, competition, and what continues to drive his success at the highest level. [bishop intro | Word] We also explore the people and moments that have shaped squash in the region, from coaching influences to the unique competitive culture that defined an era. This episode also includes a tribute to Dave Feder, one of Atlantic Canada's all-time greats. Dave was not only a remarkable player, but a respected teammate, mentor, and friend whose dedication, discipline, and generosity left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and the broader squash community

Every spring, Canadians convince themselves a lakefront cottage will "pay for itself" on Airbnb. Most won't. In this episode, Nick and Dan run the actual 2026 math — Royal LePage's $604K national median, Muskoka's slipping $950K, Atlantic Canada's 11.8% surge — and break down the $44K-a-year true carrying cost nobody mentions at the showing. They explain why the short-term rental thesis is dead in most of BC and Ontario (with a new 2026 wrinkle: Kelowna's exemption), how Muskoka's by-law 2025-049 now forces three dark weeks in peak summer. Plus the opportunity-cost comparison that makes most cottage buyers wince, and the five scenarios where buying one still makes sense. The takeaway: a cottage can be a great purchase. It's almost never a great investment. Know which one you're making. EDMONTON MULTIPLEX EVENT Try it NordVPN risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!

Leatherback sea turtles are usually associated with warm tropical beaches, but some of the world's largest sea turtles travel thousands of kilometers to cold Canadian waters each year. Why? Jellyfish. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, Andrew Lewin explains why Atlantic Canada is an important feeding destination for leatherback sea turtles, how cold water ecosystems support huge bursts of life, and why these northern waters matter more than many people realize.

We started First Concert Memories, the monthly series from The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast, we wanted to capture the passion of rock fans who were turned on (usually at a young age) by the power of a great live rock show. That passion comes from childhood and teenage fandom of bands that hit you in just the right spot in your heart, mind and time of your life. For our generation, that was Van Halen. The genius of Eddie Van Halen's guitar against the raw vocals of David Lee Roth catapulted the boys into superstardom as they were loved by hard rockers, guitar heads, MTV, adoring females, and record company execs. That's why we can do our 3rd FCM on Van Halen because they were that big and they changed their sets so much over the years (not to mention lineups) that there are lots of entry points depending on your age. Tim Durling of ⁠Tim's Vinyl Confessions⁠ is just a bit younger than Action Jackson and The Wolf so while our heroes first show was the For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge Tour, Tim first so the fellas on the Balance Tour in 1995. Van Halen were Tim's favorite band but because the band never toured Atlantic Canada where he grew up, there were few opportunities to catch them live. Once he was old enough to drive across the border with his buddies, he finally caught Eddie, Alex, Mike & Sammy in Maine in August of 1995. Tim knows Van Halen and at the time they were still his favorite band. He's even written a ⁠book on Sammy Hagar⁠ , Red on Black, so seeing his heroes was a dream come true. There were some disappointments with the opening band and the setlist was very heavy on Sammy era. But we never forget our first Van Halen concert and Tim is a rock n roll veteran who knows the real deal when he sees it.

While the Federal Liberals remain historically popular under Prime Minister Mark Carney, that isn't the case for their provincial counterparts. By the end of 2016, more than half of Canada's provinces and territories had Liberal governments. Today, that's down to one, as Liberal premiers fell one by one to largely conservative-- but some NDP-- replacements. Liberal parties faced especially historic collapses in BC, Ontario, and Quebec. But despite that, recent polls have shown the provincial liberals gaining some ground in a couple of provinces. Host Caryn Ceolin is speaking with John Ibbitson, journalist and author, about what happened to provincial liberals, and if there is any hope for their future.

Blue sharks are one of the most beautiful and misunderstood predators in the ocean. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, we explore how this sleek, cold water shark can change the way people think about sharks, especially when they see one off the coast of Atlantic Canada. Blue sharks travel enormous distances, follow ocean conditions, and play an important role in healthy marine ecosystems. They are predators, but they are also ambassadors for a better understanding of sharks. This episode looks at why sharks belong in the ocean, why cold Canadian waters are full of surprising life, and why fear can turn into fascination when people meet the right species.

Stephen LeDrew is joined by André Proulx, producer of the Three Minute Interview, for a discussion about media coverage, public protest, and growing distrust in Canadian institutions.While travelling through Atlantic Canada, Proulx unexpectedly encountered a large anti-government protest focused on rising gas prices, affordability, and frustration with the federal government. But what shocked him most wasn't the protest itself — it was the near-total absence of mainstream media coverage.Despite highway disruptions and a visible public demonstration stretching across multiple provinces, Proulx says major outlets including CBC, CTV, and local media appeared to largely ignore the story.The conversation explores whether government-funded media organizations are becoming increasingly hesitant to cover stories critical of Ottawa — and what that means for journalism, public trust, and democracy in Canada.Three Minutes.

This week on The Food Professor Podcast, our interview is recorded live at SIAL Canada 2026 in Montreal. Michael LeBlanc welcomes one of the most influential executives in global consumer packaged goods: Jessica C. Adelman, Mars Snacking North America. Fresh off Mars' massive $36 billion acquisition of Kellanova, Adelman offers a rare inside look at the strategic thinking behind one of the largest CPG transactions in history. She explains how Mars — now a $86+ billion privately held global powerhouse operating across more than 80 countries — is reshaping itself into a modern snacking giant with iconic brands spanning M&M's, Snickers, Skittles, Pringles, Pop-Tarts, Cheez-It, and more. The conversation dives deep into how large food companies are navigating a radically different operating environment shaped by geopolitical volatility, inflation, climate pressures, AI disruption, and changing consumer behaviour. Adelman shares Mars' approach to resilience, reputation management, and long-term strategic planning in an era where business shocks arrive faster and harder than ever before. She also discusses why Mars continues investing heavily in North American manufacturing, including a recent $180 million investment across Ontario facilities. Michael and Jessica explore the transformative impact of AI across food retail and supply chains, from reducing food waste and optimizing logistics to enabling consumer discovery and personalization. They also examine how GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are changing eating habits, portion sizes, and snack consumption patterns — a growing issue every major food manufacturer is now monitoring closely. The interview also touches on sustainability, food system resilience, consumer affordability, and the evolving role of global brands in helping consumers balance value, convenience, nutrition, and enjoyment. Throughout the discussion, Adelman offers a thoughtful perspective on leadership, agility, and why companies must move beyond simply “playing the hits” to remain relevant in a rapidly changing marketplace. But first, Michael and Sylvain Charlebois tackle another packed week in food and agriculture news. The hosts debate Ontario's emerging “6% milk” trend, the accelerating adoption of GLP-1 drugs across Canada thanks to the launch of a generic pill format, and renewed calls (along with the history and original objectives) to overhaul Canada's confusing best-before date system to combat food waste and improve affordability. They also discuss food theft and organized crime concerns in grocery retail, mounting pressure on Atlantic Canada's oyster industry, mushroom trade tensions with the United States, the definition of food deserts in urban Canada, and the critical importance of grain infrastructure in Atlantic Canada and a world awash in Bourbon. About UsDr. Sylvain Charlebois is a Visiting Professor in Food Policy and Distribution at McGill University and a Professor in Food Distribution and Policy in the Faculty of Management at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

In Episode 310 of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love speaks with Andy Clark—author of Getting the Whole Pie—about the flywheel concept for sustainable business growth. Instead of relying on one big breakthrough, Andy explains that long-term success comes from consistent, disciplined execution that builds momentum over time. He breaks down how professionals—especially in law, recruiting, and consulting—can create a “rainmaking flywheel” that generates steady inbound opportunities, stronger visibility, and compounding growth. Andy outlines four essential components of a high-performing flywheel: clear ownership, the right metrics, smart decision-making, and effective meetings. Together, these create accountability, focus, and alignment—turning scattered efforts into a repeatable growth system. This episode delivers a practical framework for professionals who want to simplify operations, improve business development, and build a scalable practice that runs with clarity and momentum.

What actually moves a small town forward? It's not a lack of ideas, it's a lack of execution. This episode digs into the mindset shift from planning to ownership, showing how consistent action, local investment, and focusing on the people who show up can create real momentum over time. It's a practical, experience-based take on how we make things happen on the ground.  About Andrew: After a 15-year career working in rural North America with the various businesses and economic development organizations, Andrew founded Mashup Lab (www.mashuplab.ca); a for-more-than-profit company focused on one thing: unleashing the entrepreneurial potential of rural places.  Mashup Lab's activities fall under two business units; virtual business incubation programming, and a network of rural co-working spaces that operate under the brand WorkEvolved (www.WorkEvolved.ca).  To date Mashup Lab has successfully scaled its Virtual Business Incubator to rural regions throughout Canada & the US, working with more than 1,200 entrepreneurs to start and grow 700+ businesses in 600+ rural communities. Andrew is also co-founder of Awesome South Shore (www.awesomesouthshore.ca), a community-backed micro-fund that has given away over $90,000 in no-strings-attached cash to people that want to do something awesome in their community. Andrew holds an MBA from Saint Mary's University and a BBA from Acadia University.  Most recently he was selected into the Wallace McCain Institute's Entrepreneurial Leaders Program as one the Top 30 high-growth potential entrepreneurs in Atlantic Canada. Andrew is from a small rural community in Newfoundland, married a girl from a small rural community in Nova Scotia (Eva) that they now call home with their two boys (James & Josh). In this episode, we cover: Why most communities don't have an idea problem—they have an execution problem The difference between chasing big wins and building sustainable, incremental growth How to think about participation without getting stuck on who isn't involved What generational transition really means—and how to adapt instead of resist it Why ownership, not titles or committees, is the real driver of progress Links + Resources Mentioned: 1) Folks can connect with Andrew on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abutton/ 2) If listeners would like to chat about what they're working on in their small town and how Andrew and/or Mashup Lab might be helpful (or anything else we touch on during our conversation, for that matter!), Andrew is kindly offering a free, no obligation Discovery Call!

The history we are taught often skips over the brutal reality of cultural erasure, forced migrations, and the Clearances that sent our Scottish and Irish ancestors fleeing to Atlantic Canada. In this episode, I sit down with independent genealogical researcher Zita White to dismantle the myths surrounding our Celtic roots.

Book Your Free 30 Minute Consultation https://bookings.howwegothere.ca/In this episode, host Brian Nash sits down with Darren Hall to discuss his research into his Loyalist ancestor, James Waugh. Hall's passion for genealogy was sparked by his family roots in Prince Edward Island and foundational local histories like The Wrights of Bedeque. He emphasizes that effective genealogy requires looking beyond vital statistics—birth, marriage, and death—to understand the broader historical context. For his ancestors, this meant investigating the "story that brought them to Canada," moving beyond the simple fact of their arrival to explore the specific events of the American Revolution that dictated their movements.The investigation into James Waugh faced a significant "brick wall" for years because early land grants only listed him as being "late of New York." However, Darren's breakthrough came through the digitized Carlton Papers, where he located a James Waugh on a 1778 muster roll in Pensacola, Florida. This discovery linked Waugh to British Indian agents Richard Parris and Alexander Cameron. Hall's research suggests that Waugh was likely part of the Loyalist backcountry movement in South Carolina, traveling through the wilderness to Florida before eventually joining the refugee migration to Shelburne, Nova Scotia, and finally settling in PEI's Wilmot Valley.A pivotal aspect of this research involved the use of Big Y-DNA testing, which produced a startling revelation for the Waugh family. The genetic results showed that the paternal line actually matches the surname Wilson, indicating a likely adoption or non-paternity event dating back to the 1600s. This highlights the power of combining traditional archival research with genetic genealogy to correct long-standing family assumptions. By tracing military records, land grants, and DNA, Hall provides a vivid picture of the displaced Loyalists who helped shape the early landscape of Atlantic Canada.

Episode 221 of The Adventure Podcast features international journalist and author, Adam Skolnick. Adam has written for countless news outlets, Lonely Planet guidebooks, magazines, and columns, and has travelled to over 40 countries. In this episode, Matt and Adam discuss his journey into writing. His first gigs, travelling for stories, and how to make a living doing so. Adam reflects about the early adventures he went on; cycling around the world in his twenties and how the reality looked very different from the romantic version he imagined. Often including long-stretches of boredom, loneliness and self-doubt. It's a wide-ranging conversation as they discuss everything from the pressure of shaping messy reality into something coherent on page, to ego and validation, the discomfort of being honest about motivations that don't fit the heroic narrative, and the temptation to chase ever-bigger projects for 'better' stories. Adam also talks about the inspiration behind his new book, American Tiger, which he covered live as a journalist at the time, and how he found transitioning from fact to fiction.For extra insights from the worlds of adventure, exploration and the natural world, you can find The Adventure Podcast+ community on Substack.

In this episode, we feature two conversations that highlight PWL's culture, values, and intentional approach to advice. We first sit down with Trevor Daigle and Brett Watt, founders of EB Wealth in Halifax, to talk about why they chose to merge their thriving independent practice with PWL — PWL's first acquisition in Atlantic Canada. Trevor and Brett open up about what they saw in PWL's infrastructure, culture, and client-first philosophy, the internal hurdles they had to clear (including their own egos), and the moment they realized they "couldn't unsee" what PWL had built. Then, in the second half of the episode, PWL Portfolio Manager and Financial Planner Phil Briggs walks us through a remarkable real-world case. A podcast listener's father decided to take the commuted value of his defined benefit pension… and the family approached PWL to invest it. Rather than simply execute the plan, Phil stepped back to rigorously analyze whether that decision made sense at all. The result is one of the most compelling demonstrations of evidence-based financial planning we've featured on the show — covering risk pooling, tax implications, Monte Carlo results, survivor benefits, and the emotional side of decision-making. Key Points From This Episode: (0:00:51) Welcoming Trevor and Brett — and why their practice, EB Wealth, aligned so closely with PWL's holistic philosophy. (0:02:30) How long-term cultural fit, infrastructure, and research depth drove their decision to join PWL. (0:04:57) "We can't unsee that": The moment a visit to Ottawa convinced them PWL's values were real at every level. (0:07:45) Their biggest concern: giving up control after years of running an independent practice — and how that shifted. (0:09:43) Setting aside ego: How thinking long-term and client-first changed their perspective on joining PWL. (0:11:35) What excites them most about the future: growth, learning, and being surrounded by experts who prioritize client outcomes. (0:13:17) Seeing PWL's collaborative culture in action — and why industry-typical "sales meetings" were nowhere to be found. (0:14:43) Transitioning clients and feeling the immediate impact on conversations and relationships. (15:05) The setup: A podcast listener reaches out after his father already decided to take the commuted value of a DB pension. (17:25) Why Phil was surprised — and the questions he wanted answered before talking about investing. (17:25–18:49) The benefits of staying in a DB pension: risk transfer, inflation protection, and mortality pooling. (19:07) The risks: employer insolvency, underfunding, and historical examples like Sears Canada and Nortel. (20:10–22:04) Evaluating pension solvency: sponsors, surplus status, funding ratios, diversification, and regulatory filings. (23:49) Reasons someone might take the commuted value: investment preferences, life expectancy concerns, and survivor benefits — the central issue in this case. (25:15–30:52) The tax trap: how the "excess amount" of a commuted value can trigger immediate taxation — in this case at the 53.53% marginal rate — and how RRSP room and PARs interact. (31:26–33:53) Modeling the decision: building retirement scenarios in financial planning software, including spending, inflation, CPP/OAS, rental income, and Monte Carlo analysis. (34:00–37:54) Results: 60/40 investment after commuting: overfunded plan but with significant volatility. 100% equity: higher legacy, similar failure rate. Leaving the pension with the employer: similar retirement score but dramatically higher Monte Carlo success (96%) due to guaranteed income, inflation hedging, and tax smoothing. (38:32–40:55) Why the pension's stable income floor and deferred taxation made such a big difference — even in a shortened-life-expectancy scenario. (41:05–41:37) Other firms simply accepted the commuted-value plan; PWL was the only firm to fully analyze the decision. (43:50–44:53) How personal values, risks, and emotional comfort interact with data in real financial planning decisions. (45:00–47:28) The next decision: choosing between a higher pension with a 2/3 survivor benefit or a lower pension with a 100% survivor benefit — and how break-even analysis (age 81) informed the client's choice. (47:44–48:31) Why planning software provides clarity people can't get through gut feel alone. (48:31–49:59) Trust and incentives: why turning down a large investable sum was the right decision — and why PWL celebrates that. (50:08–51:01) Culture + incentives: how PWL's structure allows advisors to prioritize clients without sales pressure.

Show Notes: Https://wetfyswing.com/847B Presented By: Mountain Waters Resort. Sponsors:https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Atlantic Canada is home to some of the most storied salmon rivers in the world—and to one of the quiet powerhouses working behind the scenes to protect them. In this episode of the Wet Fly Swing Podcast, host Dave talks with Charline McCoy, executive director of the Foundation for Conservation of Atlantic Salmon (FCAS), about how a tiny team is helping safeguard Canada's wild Atlantic salmon across five provinces. From replacing culverts and removing old dams to planting riparian trees and funding climate-focused research, Charline walks us through how FCAS has supported hundreds of conservation projects—and helped open up nearly 199 million square meters of salmon habitat. You'll also hear how warming rivers, shifting flows, and invasive species are changing the game for salmon, and why collaboration between governments, scientists, anglers, and local watershed groups has never been more important.
