 Interview date: November 30th, 2025Episode Summary:In this Business of Dance interview, Shanie Blais—Montreal-born, LA-based dancer—shares how her career evolved from a small-town studio kid into a working professional with major credits including the Wicked film, the Wicked live performance special, and a stadium/world tour with Karol G. Shanie walks listeners through her early training, her decision to leave Montreal to pursue bigger opportunities, and how she tested both New York and LA in “three months at a time” visits before fully committing.A major focus of the conversation is the O-1 visa journey: what “deal memos” actually are, how relationships and credibility build a strong case, and why being physically present in the market (classes, events, consistent visibility) matters. Shanie emphasizes that success today looks different than past generations—less open calls and more direct booking—meaning dancers must treat social media as their resume while still doing the real-world work of training and networking.Throughout the Q&A, Shanie offers grounded advice on staying versatile, building confidence and social skills, and protecting mental health in an industry that runs in seasons of highs and lows. From navigating London as a newcomer on Wicked to learning how to balance training with rest, her biggest message is clear: show up, be kind, plant seeds without expectations, and trust timing—because when it's meant for you, it will align.Shownotes:(0:00) – Welcome + Wicked introduction(4:20) – Montreal roots & competition beginnings(11:31) – Choosing LA over New York(14:59) – O-1 visa strategy & deal memos(22:22) – Signing with an agency in LA(24:17) – First LA booking: Camila Cabello(26:35) – Booking Wicked without audition(30:00) – Direct booking era & social media resumes(37:11) – Touring with Karol G: stadium life(56:19) – Mental health, balance, and longevityBiography:A professional dancer, born in Montreal and based in Los Angeles for the past five years, I live my passion for dance by collaborating with some of the biggest names in the industry. I recently toured the world with the renowned Latin artist KarolG and worked on one of the greatest films,, Wicked. Throughout my international career, I have performed alongside artists such as Doechii, Bebe Rexha, Camila Cabello, Olivia Rodrigo, and Shania Twain.  For me, dance is a way to tell stories, connect, and inspire.Connect on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shanie_blais/

Food insecurity among Inuit in Canada has been called one of the longest-lasting public health emergencies in Canadian history.

In this episode of the Off-Road Racer Podcast, Matt Martelli sits down with Chris Blais, one of the most accomplished motorcycle racers to come out of the desert. Before making the jump into UTVs, Chris was among the best moto racers in the world, competing against the toughest riders on the planet and even landing on the podium at the legendary Dakar Rally.That same intensity and focus have carried him into the UTV world, where Chris has built a reputation not just as a talented driver, but also as a builder who understands how to maximize performance. In the episode, he dives into his philosophy on race builds, why weight and balance matter so much, and how years of experience on two wheels gave him a unique perspective behind the wheel of a four-wheel machine.Chris's story is more than just racing — it's about resilience, adapting to new challenges, and staying true to the competitive spirit that first pushed him to race dirt bikes at the highest level. His journey shows how the core values of determination and grit can carry a racer from Dakar to the desert UTV wars of today.

In this Summer Coolers edition of NHL Wraparound, Neil Smith and Vic Morren head to the nation's capital to break down the Washington Capitals, a team coming off a quietly dominant 2024–25 regular season... and a playoff run that ended just as quietly.Washington finished with 111 points, 1st in the Metro, and 2nd overall in the NHL—yet fizzled in the second round against Carolina after dispatching Montreal in five games. But with no major offseason additions, the OV goal chase behind them, and multiple players coming off career seasons, is this team poised for a step forward—or a step back?

In this Summer Coolers edition of NHL Wraparound, Neil Smith and Vic Morren spotlight one of the most resilient turnarounds of the 2024–25 season: the St. Louis Blues.After a rough start under Drew Bannister, the Blues handed the reins to Jim Montgomery—and never looked back. A remarkable 35-18-7 run followed, including a 12-game winning streak that pushed them into the playoffs. Though their season ended in heartbreak—blowing a two-goal lead in the final minutes of Game 7 vs. Winnipeg—the Blues showed serious promise.With savvy offseason additions, consistent goaltending, and a rock-solid system, the Blues are building a team that no one wants to play against. Montgomery's influence is already turning heads.

Host Sebastian Hassinger interviews Alexandre Blais, professor of physics at the Universite de Sherbrooke and scientific director of the Insitut Quantique. Alexandre discusses his academic journey, starting from his master's and PhD work in Sherbrooke, his move to Yale, and his collaborations with both theorists and experimentalists. He outlines the development of circuit QED (quantum electrodynamics) and its foundational role in the modern superconducting qubit landscape. Blais emphasizes the interplay between fundamental physics and technological progress in quantum computing, highlighting both academic contributions and partnerships with industry. He also describes the evolution and mission of Institut Quantique, stressing its role in bridging academia and the quantum industry by training talent and fostering startups in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Finally, Blais reflects on the dual promise of quantum computing—as a tool for scientific discovery and as a long-term commercial technology.Key Themes and Points1. Early Career and Path into Quantum ComputingAlexandre Blais began his quantum computing journey during his master's at Sherbrooke, inspired by a popular science article by Serge Haroche that laid out the argument for why quantum computers would never work.He pursued quantum studies at Sherbrooke despite a lack of local experts, showing early initiative and risk-taking.2. Transition to Yale and Circuit QEDBlais joined Yale for his postdoc, attracted by the strong theory–experiment collaboration.The Yale group pioneered "circuit QED," adapting ideas from cavity QED (single atoms in magnetic cavities) to superconducting circuits, enabling new ways to read out and control qubits.Circuit QED became the backbone of superconducting qubit technology, notably enabling the transmon qubit (now a dominant architecture).Collaborated with figures like prior guests of the podcast Steve Girvin and Rob Schoelkopf, and was a postdoc along with Jay Gambetta and Andreas Wallraff.3. Superconducting Qubits and Research FocusMost of Blais's work has centered on superconducting qubits, particularly on understanding and extending coherence times, reducing errors, and improving fabrication/design.Emphasizes the complex, nonlinear, and rich physics even of single-qubit systems (e.g., challenges of dispersive readout and unexpected phenomena like multiphoton resonances).Notes the continuing importance of deep, fundamental research despite growing industrial and engineering focus.4. Role of Academia vs. IndustryGrowth of corporate investment (Google, IBM, Amazon, Intel) has changed the landscape.Blais argues that universities should focus on pushing the scientific frontier and training talent, not on building commercial-scale quantum computers.Academic groups can pursue high-risk, high-reward research and deeper understanding of quantum technology's physical underpinnings.5. Institut Quantique and Quebec's Quantum EcosystemBlais leads Institut Quantique, which supports both basic and applied quantum research and has been highly successful in fostering a local quantum startup ecosystem (e.g., SBQuantum, NordQuantique, Qubic).Offers entrepreneurship courses and significant seed grants (even to students and postdocs) to encourage talent retention and company creation in Sherbrooke.Partnership between academia, startups, and public investment has attracted international players like Pasqal and IBM, establishing Sherbrooke as a quantum technology hub.6. Societal and Philosophical ReflectionsFundamental challenge: making increasingly large quantum systems remain quantum despite Bohr's assertion, via the Correspondence principle, that as a quantum system scales it will become classical.Quantum computers are not only future commercial tools—they are already invaluable scientific instruments, enabling new physics via experimental control of complex quantum systems.Blais is optimistic about quantum computing's potential for both discovery and eventual large-scale applications.Main TakeawaysBuilding quantum computers is both a technological and fundamental scientific challenge. Even with commercial interest, deep physical understanding is essential—academic research remains vital.Close collaboration between theorists and experimentalists breeds breakthrough advances. Circuit QED exemplifies this synergy.Quantum research institutes can seed thriving tech ecosystems, if they focus on both talent training and supporting spinouts, as shown by Institut Quantique in Sherbrooke.Quantum computing's greatest early impacts will likely be as scientific instruments, enabling novel experiments and discoveries, before large-scale commercial utility is achieved.Quantum hardware's development continually reveals new, subtle physics; e.g., the decades-long puzzle of dispersive readout reflects the complexity inherent in scaling up quantum technology.Notable Quotes “Quantum computers will, before being commercially useful, be fantastic tools for discoveries.” “What we're trying to do is go against that very fundamental principle—we're trying to build a bigger and bigger system that behaves ever more quantum.” “There is real power in mixing theory and experiment when tackling the challenges of quantum technology.”Listeners will enjoy a blend of scientific storytelling, personal insight, and a blueprint for building world-class quantum research hubs that advance both discovery and innovation.

On this edition of Free City Radio author, musician and community organizer Hubert Gendron-Blais reflects on 2012 student strike and current importance. This conversation looks at the contemporary political landscape in Quebec and the importance of looking to collective action to challenge some of the neoliberal oriented policies that are working to break any remaining environmental protection frameworks and undercut the sustainability of public institutions.

« J'haïs les féministes ! » C'est ce que Marc Lépine a crié le 6 décembre 1989 avant d'ouvrir le feu sur les étudiantes de l'École de Polytechnique de Montréal au Québec – le premier attentat terroriste masculiniste de l'Histoire. Depuis, le tueur a été érigé en héros par les masculinistes et son acte imité par les plus virulents d'entre eux, au nom de “la cause des hommes”. Pourtant, on peine encore à prendre la menace antiféministe au sérieux. Qui sont les hommes qui cherchent à anéantir les féministes et les femmes, quelles sont leurs motivations politiques ? Comment la rhétorique des masculinistes nous influence ? Quelle est l'ampleur du terrorisme masculiniste aujourd'hui et quel rapport avec la montée de l'extrême-droite ?Pour en parler, Naomi Titti reçoit la sociologue Mélissa Blais, professeure au Département des sciences sociales de l'Université du Québec en Outaouais. Dans son livre « L'attentat antiféministe de Polytechnique. Une mémoire collective en transformation » (éd. Remue-ménage, 2025), elle retrace l'histoire de cette tuerie et de sa réception par la société. Spécialiste du masculinisme depuis plus de 20 ans, elle analyse ce courant politique comme le bras armé du patriarcat, et propose des pistes pour en venir à bout.RÉFÉRENCES CITÉES DANS L'ÉMISSION Retrouvez toutes les références citées dans l'épisode à la page : https://www.binge.audio/podcast/les-couilles-sur-la-table/quand-les-mascus-tuent CRÉDITSLes Couilles sur la table est un podcast créé par Victoire Tuaillon produit par Binge Audio.
