In this episode of The Voice of Retail, I'm thrilled to welcome back Chris Jones, Founder and CEO of Cannabis Xpress, for his third appearance on the show. Chris offers an insider's view of the fast-changing cannabis retail landscape in Canada. Since we last spoke, Cannabis Xpress has grown to 21 stores—14 in Ontario and 7 in New Brunswick—becoming the largest private cannabis retailer in New Brunswick.Chris shares how his focus on underserved communities and cost-efficient, compact store formats has created a sustainable and profitable business model in a sector plagued by high overhead, oversupply, and stiff competition. He explains why small-town locations, limited SKU count, and fast, expert service are at the heart of his winning value proposition.We explore the broader industry landscape, including how Ontario's cannabis market has peaked and is now in a correction phase, with closures and lease renewals looming. Chris offers a frank take on regulatory blind spots that allowed a flood of stores—sometimes side by side—without proper planning. He also speaks to the remaining dominance of the illicit market, and how changes to edible dosage limits, store hours, and licensing could help bring more consumers into the legal fold.Chris doesn't shy away from highlighting the pros and cons of the Canadian system compared to U.S. states like California and New York, where regulatory complexity and taxation have stifled growth. Yet, he remains optimistic about the future of cannabis retail—both in Canada and abroad.Looking ahead, Chris reveals plans to pursue more licenses in Atlantic Canada, potentially introduce private label products, and eventually sell the business. Despite a challenging retail environment, Cannabis Xpress is not just surviving—it's thriving, with over $10 million in revenue and 70 employees across Canada.

New Found Gold Corp CEO Keith Boyle joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the results of the company's Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the AFZ Core zone at its Queensway Gold Project, located near Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador. The report marks the first comprehensive look at the economic viability of the project and highlights its potential to become a low-cost, high-margin gold producer. The PEA outlines a 15-year life-of-mine (LOM) with total gold production of 1.5 million ounces, averaging an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of US$1,256/oz and a total cash cost of US$1,085/oz. In a base-case scenario using a gold price of US$2,500/oz, the after-tax NPV5% is $743 million with an IRR of 56.3%. When modeled at a higher gold price of US$3,300/oz, the NPV increases dramatically to $1.45 billion, and IRR rises to an impressive 197%. The company is targeting initial gold production by Q3 2027, pending regulatory approvals. Phase 1 construction is expected to begin that same year. In preparation, New Found Gold is advancing an aggressive 70,000-metre drilling program aimed at upgrading and expanding its initial mineral resource estimate (MRE). Further work includes environmental baseline studies, engineering trade-offs, and project definition activities. Boyle also emphasized the expansion potential at Queensway, citing more than 110 km of strike length for future exploration and the opportunity for camp-scale development beyond the current resource area. This PEA positions New Found Gold to transition into a significant gold producer in Atlantic Canada, aligning with its strategic vision of building and operating a world-class gold mine in Newfoundland. #proactiveinvestors #newfoundgoldcorp #tsxv #nfg #nyseamerican #nfgc #gold #mining #NewFoundGold #KeithBoyle #MiningNews #GoldExploration #PEAResults #NewfoundlandMining #ResourceDevelopment #JuniorMining #ProactiveInvestors

Send us a textWaterfowl hunting reaches its fullest expression when experienced with great people in stunning locations, pursuing wild birds with passion and respect. Few understand this better than Liam Fraser, founder of Coastal Creek Lodge and our featured guest.At just 25 years old, Liam brings wisdom beyond his years to the guiding profession. Growing up on the water in Nova Scotia, he discovered early that waterfowl hunting offered something special – what he calls "the fishing of hunting," where camaraderie and shared experiences often outshine the harvest itself. "You can be cooking breakfast in the blind, all talking and laughing," he explains, describing the social dynamic that pulls many away from the solitary deer stand.Liam's journey took a pivotal turn when Northern Skies Outfitters in Saskatchewan gave him his first professional guiding opportunity. With refreshing honesty, he admits arriving with confidence that quickly transformed into humility. "I thought I was good at killing birds, I thought I could blow a call," he reflects, "but when you get out there, you realize the true level you need to be at." This apprenticeship shaped his understanding of not just hunting tactics, but client relationships and service excellence.Now operating Coastal Creek Lodge along Nova Scotia's north shore, Liam leverages the region's geography – "one of the first landing spots as birds start migration" – to provide exceptional hunting for Canada geese, black ducks, mallards, and sometimes surprises like snow geese. The operation reflects his values: customer-first service, conservation through their hen house project, and a commitment to putting hunters on birds rather than just in fields.Whether you're pursuing trophy black ducks from his comfortable rustic cabins or watching his Chesapeake Bay Retriever work with focused intensity, a hunt with Liam delivers the complete waterfowl experience. Ready to discover what makes Atlantic Canada a waterfowl paradise? Reach out to Coastal Creek Lodge – where passion meets professionalism on every hunt.Check us out on Facebook and instagram Hunts On Outfitting, and also our YouTube page Hunts On Outfitting Podcast.

Welcome to a special series of Art Pays Me interviews with the winners of the 2024 Creative Nova Scotia Awards. Presented annually by Arts Nova Scotia and the Creative Nova Scotia Leadership Council, these awards celebrate artistic excellence across Mi'kma'ki. This would not be possible without the fantastic production work of Heist and Keke Beatz. On this episode I spoke with 2024 Indigenous Artist recognition Award recipient, Stephanie Joline, an Indigenous filmmaker based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This is Stephanie's second time on the show so it was great to catch up with her and get vulnerable about feeling like an outsider and deserving of awards. Equally adept at film and television, Stephanie's stories provoke conversation, break boundaries, and are deeply rooted in inclusivity and feminism. Her feature films include Night Blooms (2022), a coming-of-age story set in the 1990s, and Play Your Gender (2016), a documentary that pulls back the curtain on gender bias in the music industry. Stephanie has also directed for television and streaming platforms; (Women of This Land 2024, CBC; Words Matter 2022, CBC Gem; Stream Me 2020, Amazon Prime; Farm Crime 2020, CBC Gem; Spirit Talker 2019, APTN). In 2020, she was awarded the Irving Avrich Award from TIFF, recognizing rising Canadian talent. The following year, she was long-listed for the DGC Discovery Award, and in 2022, she received Best Nova Scotia Director from Women in Film and TV Atlantic and won her first Canadian Screen Award for directing in the factual television category. Stephanie's newest releases include I Place You Into the Fire, which weaves together documentary and animation as Mi'kmaw poet Rebecca Thomas illuminates the ongoing impact of colonization and shares insight into her world as an Indigenous artist. Brought to life by three Indigenous illustrators, the film offers a poignant exploration of empathy and justice. And Women of This Land, a documentary series that spotlights the resilience and cultural richness of Indigenous women in Atlantic Canada as they share their stories of connection to land and heritage.

Are we losing our religion?  The census found that 12.6 million people reported no religious affiliation in 2021, more than 1/3 of Canada's population. But is there more to the picture?  With guests Simon-Pierre Lacasse, Senior Analyst at StatCan, and Sarah Wilkins-Laflamme, Associate Professor at the University of Waterloo, we're exploring what's driving this trend, whether "no religion" means "no spirituality," and how the story varies from spiritual British Columbia to the cultural Catholicism of Quebec to the freshly painted churches of Atlantic Canada.

Liberal leader Mark Carney revealed his party's housing plan, promising a program modelled on the home-building boom that followed the Second World War. It's being stacked up against Conservative and NDP ideas to tackle Canada's housing crisis.And: An ice storm in Ontario and Quebec leaves hundreds of thousands without power. Roads are blocked. Trees are down. The clean up could take weeks, as the powerful storm moves to Atlantic Canada.Also: It was supposed to be a few days in space that turned into a 9-month stay on the International Space Station. Astronauts from NASA's SpaceX Crew-9 have been back on Earth for a couple weeks now and are now sharing their extraordinary experience — and taking some of the responsibility for the problems that kept them up there for so long.Plus: The Liberal party stands by a candidate who suggested Canadians should turn a Conservative counterpart over to the Chinese consulate and collect a reward, new HIV prevention drug, earthquake search and recovery and more.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, we are doing something different. Earlier this month, we hosted a webinar on the effects of policy and headlines on cross-border tourism. This was the first of a series of community conversations that we will be hosting this year. In this webinar, we invited 5 expert panelists to talk about Canadian-U.S. Tourism. The conversation was forward-focused and collaborative, and our panelists shared openly, candidly and provided actionable insights and ideas for strengthening cross-border tourism between Canada and the US. That is why we decided to replay the audio from this webinar here on Destination on the Left. In this episode, you'll hear from five inspirational tourism and travel media professionals: Vince Accardi, President of Ontario Motor Coach Association Corey Fram, Director of Thousand Islands International Tourism Council Richard Arnold, Owner of Atlantic Tours Canada Catherine Dawson March, Travel Writer and Editor of The Globe and Mail Christopher Mitchell, Canadian Travel Influencer from Traveling with Mitch Ideas to Build Community and Collaboration We examine the impact of recent policy changes and tariffs on cross-border tourism between Canada and the US. Our knowledgeable industry experts share their perspectives on the current Canadian sentiment toward US travel, potential economic impacts, and the power of tourism as a connector during challenging times. Vince Accardi, President of Ontario Motor Coach Association Vince emphasizes the longstanding economic and cultural ties between Canada and the U.S. in tourism. He highlights the importance of staying invested in cross-border partnerships even during challenging situations and the importance of open communication and collaboration between tour operators, destinations, and consumers to counter the negative effects of current political climates. Corey Fram, Director of Thousand Islands International Tourism Council Corey shares insights from the unique position of a binational destination. He pointed out the historical patterns of cross-border travel challenges, such as those post-9/11, and the impact on travel sentiment. He also stresses the importance of maintaining face-to-face communication and building strong relationships at the local level to ensure continued collaboration across the border. Richard Arnold, Owner of Atlantic Tours Canada Richard discusses the deep-rooted connections between Atlantic Canada and the U.S., particularly New England. He frankly expresses that Canadians' sentiments toward current political issues have also led to hurt feelings. However, he remains optimistic about the tourism sector's resilience and values the importance of storytelling and media campaigns to remind Canadians and Americans of their longstanding friendly relations and shared histories. Catherine Dawson March, Travel Writer and Editor of the Globe And Mail Catherine offers her insights into the editorial perspective on the situation. She discusses the shift in Canadian sentiment toward travel to the U.S. due to current trade issues. Catherine highlights the challenge of running U.S.-focused stories during such times and expresses the responsibility of media professionals to handle content carefully to avoid inflaming existing tensions. Christopher Mitchell, Canadian Travel Influencer from Traveling With Mitch Chris speaks about maintaining personal and professional relationships beyond political narratives. While acknowledging the challenges posed by the current climate, Chris emphasizes the value of sharing local stories that highlight human connections and positive experiences. He stresses the role of travel influencers and creators in shaping narratives that transcend political disputes and support ongoing dialogue between Canadians and Americans. It's clear that despite the hurdles posed by tariffs and political rhetoric, the tourism relationship between these two countries remains resilient. The panel urges open communication, and strategic partnerships to nurture this vital economic and cultural bond. As communities, companies, and governments on both sides of the border navigate these complexities, the overarching message is one of patience, optimism, and a shared commitment to a future where tourism flourishes, unhindered by current and future challenges.

Donald Trump's tariff threats and insistence that Canada become the 51st state have put the issue of national sovereignty firmly on the agenda. It seems obvious that one of the clearest routes to protect Canada now and in the future is to reduce our economic dependence on the United States. One idea that's been floated is a plan to build an oil pipeline from Alberta to Atlantic Canada. We speak with Hadrian Mertins-Kirkwood, senior researcher at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, who says what Canada needs is an east-west electricity grid.
