Running an elementary school in rural British Columbia hasn't stopped this Ruckus Maker from building an indoor worm farm, growing hydroponic lettuce, and taking a self-funded year off to reset — proof that a principal's personality is not a distraction from the job. Dan Watt is a Mastermind Coach inside the Ruckus Maker community and a recurring co-host of the Ruckuscast, known for turning "pay yourself first" into a leadership philosophy that's kept him energized four years into the role. Joining him is Mitch Weathers, CEO and author of Executive Functions for Every Classroom, whose work on entry plans and executive functioning has become required reading for school leaders trying to build systems that actually stick. Find them both at betterleadersbetterschools.com. Principal burnout doesn't start with too many emails — it starts the moment you decide the job requires you to leave your actual personality at the door. This episode is an Adorable Red Hats reunion where two veteran school leaders make the case that worm farms, hydroponics, and paying yourself first aren't distractions from leadership — they're the thing that makes it sustainable.

As part of our Soul Care Summer, we're revisiting a conversation that's stayed with many listeners. Somewhere along the way, many of us picked up the idea that God can only look at us through gritted teeth, or worse, has to look away. Brad Jersak joins Michael to gently dismantle that picture, showing that the ache of feeling far from God was never God's doing.The conversation moves through a recovering addict's encounter with pure light, Cornelius in the book of Acts, and a fresh reading of Psalm 22, all pointing toward the same conviction, that the cross reveals a Father who stays present even in humanity's deepest cry of abandonment. Brad's higher Christology, it turns out, only widens the reach of Abba's love.Brad Jersak is an author and teacher based in Abbotsford, British Columbia, and serves as a reader and monastery preacher at All Saints of North America Orthodox Monastery. He previously joined Restoring the Soul in 2017 to discuss A More Christlike God, and returned to discuss In: Incarnation and Inclusion, Abba and Lamb.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

Pueblo leaders and environmentalists are angry that the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) released an environmental assessment last week with the intent of eliminating a buffer around Chaco Culture National Historical Park that has prevented oil and gas leasing. As KUNM's Jeanette DeDios (Jicarilla Apache and Diné) reports, BLM is offering just two weeks for public comment on the report. A Biden administration order placed a 20-year ban on oil and gas development on federal lands within 10 miles of Chaco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This upset some Navajo communities who rely on royalty payments and infrastructure from oil and gas for their livelihoods. President Buu Nygren said thousands of Navajo oil and gas allottees would be negatively impacted by the decision. But in April, the BLM gave the public one week to comment on a proposal to expand oil and gas leasing around Chaco. The current proposed environmental assessment has three options: leave the buffer intact, reduce it to five miles, or remove all protections. Brian Vallo (Acoma Pueblo), chairman for the Chaco Heritage Tribal Association, says the Trump administration is not working with Pueblo communities, despite tribes working together to create an ethnographic study on why this landscape is vital to Native cultures. The study is a first of its kind, he says, and was conducted by the Pueblos themselves. “So it really traces the ethnography of this cultural and sacred landscape from our present-day communities to the great houses in Chaco, but also everything in between, pilgrimage trails, shrines, sacred sites, springs, and other places that are significant to our continued observance and practice of our own traditions and you know, Indigenous way of life.” Vallo says the association is frustrated that the federal government is not adhering to a data-sharing agreement and not considering information from this ethnographic study, but moving forward with a draft environmental assessment. “All of humanity, the land, and the resources, the animals, the water. All of those things have connection, and that connection is maintained through the generations of those of us who are the practitioners, those of us who are the cultural leaders, and the greater Pueblo community as well.” Members of New Mexico's congressional delegation have also condemned the BLM announcement as a move to push for more oil and gas drilling. The All Pueblo Council of Governors has continued to invite Secretary of Interior Doug Burgum to visit Chaco Canyon and hold a consultation with Pueblo members, but he has not responded. Vallo says young folks at Acoma are already mobilizing. “Young people from within our community who are going door to door with laptops and or notebooks to encourage tribal members to submit letters.” Public comment closes on July 29. The view of Namaygoosisagagun First Nation as resident evacuated across Collins Lake. (Courtesy Wayne Wastaken) Across Canada this weekend, nearly 900 wildfires were burning – from the Atlantic provinces to British Columbia. Northern Ontario is one of the regions that has been hardest hit. One Indigenous community there has been destroyed. And as Dan Karpenchuk reports, Indigenous leaders are calling on the federal government in Ottawa for more support. At least one small first nation in northern Ontario has burned to the ground by a devastating wildfire, which is one of nearly 200 alone burning in the province. Residents fled the Namaygoosisagagun First Nation by boat on Collins Lake, many having only a few minutes to gather some personal belongings, according to Chief Helen Paavola. “It was just a matter of minutes before my members would have died. And even during that whole time, there was no help.” Namaygoosisagagun, also known as Collins First Nation, is only one of ten communities, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, that have been evacuated as wildfires rip through the region. Namaygoosisagagun is now is ashes – and its residents say they face an uncertain future. The Assembly of First Nations is calling on Ottawa for help including financial support. Linda Debassige is the grand chief of the Anishnabek Nation. She says when the wildfire first approached the community, the chief herself tried to contact government officials, but they said they were not aware of the fire. “And so, had the community waited for the official emergency response activiation, this would be a recovery mission at this point in time, which is unfathomable.” Debassige says the community now needs accommodations, food, and especially a commitment to support rebuilding. One of the problems is that the Namaygoosisagagun is not federally recognized as an official Indigenous first nation. The remote first nation, more than 700 miles north of Toronto, has no road access. Debassige says the Anishnabek Nation Grand Council, which includes 39 first nations, does recognize it and is supporting members by providing accommodation, food, and clothing.

Too many young people are getting a "desiccated" education – narrow, information-transfer schooling optimised for exams. In this episode, James and David are joined by Liz Robinson and Sarah Seleznyov of Big Education – the "feisty little multi-academy trust" behind School 21, School 360 and Surrey Square – to make the case for something bigger: an education of the head (academic learning), heart (wellbeing and relationships) and hand (creativity and skills). The conversation centres on the new book from the Rethinking School project, A Practical Guide to a Big Education: Balancing Head, Heart and Hand, edited by Sarah Seleznyov and Robert Lobatto – a collection of chapters written by school leaders and teachers who are actually doing this work, each paired with a vignette from another school and reflective questions to help you find your own way in. Not a recipe book, but an invitation to be a little bit braver. In this episode we explore: -Why pedagogy was written out of the Curriculum and Assessment Review – and why curriculum, pedagogy and assessment have to change together ("if you only pull one string in the marionette, it jerks") -England's uniquely narrow definition of curriculum and learning – and how it compares with models from around the world -What Big Education is, and what an education of the head, heart and hand actually means -The Milburn report on youth unemployment – and why the problems start in Year 1, not at upper secondary -Liz's "soapbox rant": Every Child Matters, extended schools, co-located services – and what was lost when it was all set on fire -Think systemically, act systematically: systems thinking, design thinking and vertical slice change teams Authentic leadership: vulnerability, ego, the kelp metaphor – and why Liz is learning to bring "Lizzie" to work -Being evidence-informed: why data is richer than numbers, the trouble with RCTs and the EEF toolkit, and engaging with research and in research -Interdisciplinary project-based learning – and the jaw-dropping story of the Ofsted inspector who withheld 'outstanding' because children didn't know their learning was called history -Can we teach and assess transferable competencies? And do we have to trade exam results for a broader education? (Spoiler: no) -Lessons from curriculum reform in Scotland, Wales and British Columbia – why transforming practice takes time, investment and serious professional development -Why we need revolution, not evolution About the guests Liz Robinson is co-founder and CEO of Big Education. She became a headteacher at 29, leading Surrey Square Primary in south London for many years, and created the Big Leadership Adventure. She advocates for – and models – an authentic, reflective and relational approach to leadership. Sarah Seleznyov is Strategic Project Lead at Big Education and leads the Rethinking School project. She has worked in London schools for over 25 years as a deputy head, school improvement consultant and teaching school director, and previously led research-informed leadership programmes at the UCL Institute of Education. Her research specialism is Japanese lesson study.

Canada's housing market is entering another pivotal phase as slowing construction, rising financial stress, and government intervention increasingly shape the future of real estate. While the Bank of Canada has provided borrowers with welcome stability by holding interest rates steady for a sixth consecutive meeting, mounting evidence suggests the country's housing shortage could worsen before it improves. Housing starts are falling sharply, residential building permits continue to decline, and developers across Canada are struggling to secure financing, even for fully approved projects.Two years after British Columbia introduced mandatory municipal housing targets, the results are mixed. Several municipalities have exceeded their provincial obligations, while others remain significantly behind schedule. West Vancouver has completed just 37% of its required housing, raising the possibility that the Province could eventually exercise its authority to override local zoning decisions and approve developments directly. Such intervention would represent one of the most significant shifts in municipal planning authority in decades.Canada's lending environment is showing signs of greater stability, with the Bank of Canada maintaining its policy rate at 2.25%. Economic growth has begun to recover following a sluggish period, giving buyers and sellers more confidence around borrowing costs. However, inflation remains elevated, fuelled largely by food and energy prices, leaving policymakers cautious. Most economists expect rates to remain unchanged for the remainder of the year, although the possibility of another increase has not been ruled out should inflation accelerate again.Financial pressures within the development industry continue to intensify. Another major condominium project, this time a 310-unit waterfront development in Burlington, Ontario, has entered receivership after the developer failed to secure construction financing. The project had approvals, a desirable location, and planned housing supply, yet financing challenges ultimately brought construction to a halt. Similar stories are becoming increasingly common as higher interest rates, cautious lenders, and elevated construction costs reshape Canada's development landscape.Vancouver is simultaneously introducing sweeping changes to how new development will be funded. The City's proposed Amenity Cost Charge program replaces years of negotiated community contributions with standardized fees designed to create greater transparency and predictability. Officials estimate the program will generate hundreds of millions of dollars for future community amenities, although questions remain about whether additional development costs will further challenge an industry already grappling with shrinking margins and rising insolvencies.Technology is also beginning to transform housing approvals. Burnaby has become one of the first municipalities in Canada to deploy artificial intelligence to review residential building plans before permit submission. By automatically checking projects against zoning regulations, the City hopes to significantly reduce approval timelines and accelerate housing construction without replacing human plan reviewers. If successful, the initiative could become a model adopted across Metro Vancouver.Mortgage renewals are entering their most financially challenging period as homeowners who secured historically low rates during 2021 and 2022 begin refinancing at substantially higher borrowing costs. Monthly mortgage payments are increasing by roughly 24% for many households, contributing to rising consumer insolvencies and the highest level of homeowner bankruptcies seen in a decade. At the same time, Canada's total liabilities associated with insolvency filings have more than doubled over the past ten years, highlighting growing financial strain among households.Meanwhile, the pipeline of future housing continues to weaken. Residential building permits and housing starts have both posted significant year-over-year declines, reflecting reduced developer confidence and fewer new projects entering construction. Detached home construction in British Columbia has fallen to a fraction of historical levels, while asking rents continue to decline as record numbers of purpose-built rental units enter the market amid slowing population growth. Together, these trends illustrate a housing market undergoing significant structural change, with affordability gradually improving for some buyers even as long-term supply concerns continue to mount.Metro Vancouver's market remains subdued, with sales activity tracking below last year's already historically weak levels and home prices continuing to soften. Despite improving economic stability, the combination of constrained affordability, cautious buyers, and slowing development suggests Canada's housing market remains in a period of transition—one that will likely shape real estate conditions for years to come._________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

For 18 July 2026, Saturday of week 15 in Ordinary Time, based on Matthew 12:14-21, sent in from Squamish, British Columbia, Canada.

Corinna Cook is an essayist whose writing follows the stories embedded in the borderlands of Southeast Alaska, northern British Columbia, and the southern Yukon. Drawing from history, natural science, and personal experience, she asks what the landscape can teach us—how it preserves memory, how climate reshapes our understanding of place, and how the painful histories of colonialism continue to shape life in the present. Her essays remind us that history and the natural world are inseparable, that the past lingers in rivers, forests, permafrost, and the traces left behind by those who came before us. And rather than searching for tidy conclusions, she approaches each essay as an open question, using it to better understand the North, the stories preserved in its landscapes, and what it means to live within the long arc of geologic time. Her recent book, Permafrost Is an Archive, is a collection of essays about turning toward the land. Moving through the boreal forest, thawing permafrost, and the invisible lines that divide nations, she asks what the land remembers and what it can teach us about the painful histories we carry, the ones that continue to shape how we see each other and the world around us. She doesn't offer easy answers. Instead, her essays become meditations on home and displacement, deep time and human history, and the difficult work of building more honest relationships with each other. As climate change reshapes the North, she argues that our ability to adapt may depend as much on how we confront our shared histories as on how we respond to environmental change. At the heart of the book is a question that echoes throughout her work: Now that we know, what do we do with that knowledge?

It's Thursday, July 16th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus U.S. to Iran: Stop persecuting Christians The United States is calling for Iran to end its persecution of Christians. According to Open Doors, it's the tenth worst country in the world. In one case, authorities in the country sentenced a Christian convert to nearly 10 years in prison back in May. Forty-two-year-old Ghazal Marzban is now on a hunger strike. A State Department spokesman told Fox News Digital, “We are aware of these reports. It is reprehensible that the Iranian regime continues to persecute religious minorities, including Iranian Christians.”  Dr. Hormoz Shariat with Iran Alive Ministries told Fox News that Christians in Iran are courageous in the face of persecution. Listen. SHARIAT: “Believers in Iran are full of [the] Holy Spirit. They are courageous. They're out there. Many of them are living, and some of them are dying for Jesus. I see such a courage among the Iranian Muslim background believers.” Revelation 12:11 says, “And they overcame [the Devil] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”  America restarted naval blockade against Iranian ports On Tuesday, the United States restarted its naval blockade against Iranian ports. This comes after the Islamic Republic continued to attack commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Yesterday, the U.S. military carried out more strikes on Iran. President Donald Trump threatened strikes on Iran's infrastructure next week unless the country reopens negotiations.  Pro-life British Member of Parliament was killed A pro-life British politician was found dead at her home on July 9th. Seventy-eight-year-old Ann Widdecombe had served as a conservative member of Parliament from 1987 to 2010. The Catholic politician was an outspoken opponent of abortion. Counter-terrorism police report that she was clearly the victim of a targeted attack and are still investigating a motive. Supreme Court Justices ask for additional security Here in America, U.S. Supreme Court Justices testified before Congress about threats to their lives. The Supreme Court is requesting nearly $15 million in additional funds from Congress for the personal security of the justices. Justice Amy Coney Barrett talked about one incident when she was the victim of an erroneous call to her residence. BARRETT: “Roughly six weeks ago, I was the victim of a swatting incident. At that point, my teenage son, one of my teenage sons, opened the door to go out with friends and saw in our street it was full of police cars who had responded to a false report of gunshots and raised voices in my home. “I was very, very grateful that I had Supreme Court Police outside my home because they were able to stop and meet with, and explain to the county police, that it had been a false alarm. And so, the police did not actually attempt to enter our home.” Conservative justices faced intense threats surrounding the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022. For example, Justice Amy Coney Barrett had to be sent home with a bullet proof vest when threats were high. In Proverbs 8:35-36, Wisdom says, “For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the LORD; but he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; all those who hate me love death.” Christian student required to attend a perversion assembly A Christian middle schooler in Washington State is suing her school district for violating her faith. Highline Public School District in Burien, Washington held a mandatory so-called “Inclusion Assembly” back in May. The event covered topics that conflicted with the girl's Christian faith. So, she asked to be excused, but the school forced her to participate.  The American Center for Law and Justice filed a lawsuit against the school last week on behalf of the Christian student. The ACLJ stated, “Our client is a little girl who has done nothing but live out her faith with kindness and respect for others.” Only 33% of Americans trust churches, down from 60% in 2001 A new Gallup survey found that Americans don't trust institutions in the United States. Only 27% of U.S. adults expressed confidence in major institutions. That's down from 43% in 2001. These institutions include banks, churches, Congress, the military, public schools, and the medical system.  Thirty-three percent of Americans express confidence in churches and organized religion. That's down from 60 percent in 2001. Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil sold for $50 million A Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil sold for a record-breaking $50.1 million in New York on Tuesday. A paleontologist discovered the skeleton on a ranch in South Dakota in 2021. Known as “Gus”, it's one of the largest and most complete dinosaurs ever discovered.  Paleontologists claim that Gus lived about 67 million years ago. However, scientists discovered a T. Rex fossil in 2005 that contained unfossilized soft tissue.  Answers in Genesis noted, “Soft tissue is not compatible with an old Earth, and yes, it is indeed a powerful confirmation of the Biblical timeline.”  Worldview listeners from Manitoba, Indiana and Kentucky weigh in Azalia Marten in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada wrote me and said, “I want to thank The Worldview team for writing the newscast every weekday.  I greatly appreciate your views. Thank you for putting your lives into this!” John Martini in Moores Hill, Indiana wrote me and said, “I appreciate three things about your news program: First, important topics are covered. Second, the reporting is concise and includes primary sources. And third, there is a direct Biblical connection made in many of the news stories. We often pray about the topics presented.” And Megan Severe in Elizabeth Town, Kentucky, said, “I am a history teacher and it's very important to me to teach my students to be aware of current events in the world. What happens today is going to shape our history. I was delighted to find your podcast and have been listening to it every morning as I get ready for work over the past year. “The podcast helps prepare me to know what important world events I should tie into my lesson. I even played it for my classes to listen to so they could hear the news from a Christian perspective. I love how you tie in Bible verses. Thanks for what you do!” 13 Worldview listeners gave $2,817 And finally, by 9:00pm Central on Wednesday night, 13 Worldview listeners had stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year Our thanks to Marcia in Cairo, New York who gave $25, Augustine in Auburn, California who gave $30 as well as Tim in Newton, Kansas and Kevin and Lisa in Scottdale, Pennsylvania – both of whom gave $100. We were touched by the generosity of Chuck in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada and Josh in Davenport, Iowa – both of whom gave $150, as well as Leticia in Blum, Texas who pledged $15/month for 12 months for a gift of $180, and Gena in Huntsville, Alabama who gave $182. And we're grateful to God for Richard in Camden, Wyoming who emailed me to say he is continuing with his $25/month pledge for a gift of $300, Keith in Longview, Texas who gave $300, Pat in Park Ridge, Illinois who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a total gift of $300, Daniel in Raleigh, North Carolina who gave $400, and Dennis in Fort Worth, Texas who emailed me to say he is continuing with his $50/month pledge for a total gift of $600. Those 13 gifts add up to $2,817. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $26,620 (sound effect of people cheering) That means we need to raise $29,945 to hit our $56,565 goal in just two days by this Friday, July 17th.   Remember, if you want to continue your monthly pledge to The Worldview that you started in a previous year, please let me know so we can count your generous ongoing gift toward our total -- like Richard and Dennis did. We need to find 8 Worldview listeners, who will pledge $100/month for 12 months, or give a one-time gift of $1,200, 16 folks who will pledge $50/month or give a one-time gift of $600 and 32 listeners who will pledge $25/month or give a one-time gift of $300. Go to TheWorldview.com, click on Give, select the dollar amount, and make sure to click on the “recurring” button if that's your wish. To be honest, the race to the finish line of funding the six-member Worldview team for another year is almost half way over and we are significantly behind! Can you help?

Send us a text! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the show.Some conversations stay with you long after they end. This was one of them.In this episode of The Resilient Writers Radio Show, I'm joined by writer, poet, playwright, and activist Crystal AJ Smith to talk about her powerful debut novel, Gitwaałtk. Crystal is Haisla and Ts'ymsen, was adopted into the Heiltsuk Nation, and brings both lived experience and deep cultural knowledge to every page of her work.Our conversation begins with Crystal introducing herself in Lik̓wala, honoring the land she lives on and the ancestors who continue to guide her. It immediately sets the tone for a discussion about identity, language, storytelling, and the responsibility of carrying stories that matter.At the heart of Gitwaałtk is the Highway of Tears, the stretch of Highway 16 in British Columbia where countless Indigenous women and girls have gone missing or been murdered. Crystal explains that while there are documentaries, statistics, and news stories about the Highway of Tears, she wanted to create something that would help readers do more than understand the facts. She wanted them to feel them.We also talk about the novel's unique structure. Rather than following a traditional beginning-middle-end format, Gitwaałtk weaves together prose, poetry, Indigenous oral storytelling, and Sm'algya̱x language. Crystal shares that she didn't consciously design this structure—it simply arrived that way. The story came through her, and her role was to listen, write, and honor it.One of my favorite parts of our conversation is our discussion about ancestors and creativity. Crystal describes writing as something much bigger than inventing a story. For her, it feels like the stories already exist, and she has the responsibility to receive them, tell them truthfully, and pass them on. We also talk about language revitalization, why she's learning Lik̓wala, and how reconnecting with language has become part of both her life and her writing practice.Crystal also speaks candidly about balancing creativity with motherhood. As a mother of four, she's spent more than a decade bringing Gitwaałtk into the world while completing her education, leaving an abusive relationship, raising children, and continuing to learn her language and culture. Her honesty about protecting time for both family and creativity will resonate with many writers trying to hold all the pieces of their lives together.This conversation is about much more than writing a novel. It's about resilience, remembrance, community, healing, and the power of stories to create empathy where facts alone sometimes cannot.Whether you're interested in Indigenous literature, writing from lived experience, or simply want to hear one of the most thoughtful conversations I've had about why stories matter, I think you'll find this episode both moving and unforgettable.

Corinna Cook is an essayist whose writing follows the stories embedded in the borderlands of Southeast Alaska, northern British Columbia, and the southern Yukon. Drawing from history, natural science, and personal experience, she asks what the landscape can teach us—how it preserves memory, how climate reshapes our understanding of place, and how the painful histories of colonialism continue to shape life in the present. Her essays remind us that history and the natural world are inseparable, that the past lingers in rivers, forests, permafrost, and the traces left behind by those who came before us. And rather than searching for tidy conclusions, she approaches each essay as an open question, using it to better understand the North, the stories preserved in its landscapes, and what it means to live within the long arc of geologic time. Her recent book, Permafrost Is an Archive, is a collection of essays about turning toward the land. Moving through the boreal forest, thawing permafrost, and the invisible lines that divide nations, she asks what the land remembers and what it can teach us about the painful histories we carry, the ones that continue to shape how we see each other and the world around us. She doesn't offer easy answers. Instead, her essays become meditations on home and displacement, deep time and human history, and the difficult work of building more honest relationships with each other. As climate change reshapes the North, she argues that our ability to adapt may depend as much on how we confront our shared histories as on how we respond to environmental change. At the heart of the book is a question that echoes throughout her work: Now that we know, what do we do with that knowledge?

What if the future of surgical training doesn't happen in the operating room? In this episode of Med Tech Gurus, we sit down with Dr. Danny Goel, orthopedic surgeon, clinical professor at the University of British Columbia, and CEO & co-founder of Precision OS, to explore how virtual reality and AI are transforming surgical education. Today's training environment is under pressure—reduced clinical hours, increasing procedural complexity, and a relentless focus on operating room efficiency are limiting opportunities for hands-on learning. The traditional "see one, do one, teach one" model is no longer enough. Dr. Goel shares how Precision OS is addressing this challenge with immersive VR simulation that allows surgeons to practice procedures on demand, receive objective performance feedback, and improve skills outside the operating room. With over 100+ orthopedic training modules and the ability to capture detailed performance data, the platform is redefining how surgical competency is measured and developed. We explore the shift from subjective evaluation to data-driven skill assessment, the importance of workflow integration for adoption, and how just-in-time training can improve both surgeon confidence and patient outcomes. If you're interested in medical education, surgical simulation, AI in healthcare, virtual reality training, or MedTech innovation, this episode offers a compelling look at how technology is reshaping the future of surgical training.

Sometimes saving the planet can feel like a massive, exhausting guilt trip. In this episode, Debbie sits down with University of British Columbia professors Elizabeth Dunn and Jiaying Zhao to talk about their book, Leave the Lights On: How Joyful Decisions Can Save Our Species. Their main point is about the whole "you must be perfect" climate messaging is totally backfiring, and focusing on joyful, high-impact changes is actually what keeps people motivated. Jiaying breaks down a massive 63-country study showing how scare tactics just make people want to shut down, and the duo debunks some common eco-myths.It turns out that obsessing over turning off the lights or choosing the perfect reusable bag doesn't move the needle much. Instead, they shout out smarter, high-leverage moves like treating beef and lamb as occasional splurges, eating more plants, and traveling lighter. They also get into how to influence the people around you by making sustainable choices easy, attractive, and non-political, proving that individual habits and big systemic changes (like voting) both matter.Listen and Learn: How "doom and gloom" climate messaging actually backfires by discouraging real-world actionSurprising insights from a massive global study of 60,000 participants across 63 countriesFinding joyful, climate-friendly lifestyle changes to create a positive feedback loop that makes us happier and more motivated to protect the planet How making practical, high-impact shifts in your daily habits like smarter food choices can create a truly sustainable difference for both you and the planetData-backed truth behind common environmental myths and how to easily focus your energy on the daily lifestyle choices that actually make a high-impact difference for the planet How to significantly lower your carbon footprint without sacrificing the foods you loveReducing your carbon footprint without giving up the joy of travel by mastering the art of packing light, making smarter flight choices, and embracing the unexpected adventure of staycations How to inspire positive behavior change in others without lecturing them on climate change Why individual action and systemic change are not a false dichotomy, but rather a powerful partnership where local community engagement can drive larger policy shifts and boost your personal happiness Resources: Leave the Lights On: How Joyful Decisions Can Save Our Specieswww.happyclimate.org Book Debbie mentioned: Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden, by Camille T.

Interview with Stephen Gray, President & CEO of Fox TungstenRecording date: 11th July 2026Fox Tungsten is advancing its high-grade Fox project in southern British Columbia, aiming to position it as a rare North American source of tungsten amid tightening global supply. The deposit averages roughly 1% tungsten, which management equates to about 20 grams per tonne gold or 25% copper at current prices, placing it among the higher-grade tungsten projects globally. However, its current resource of just over 1 million tonnes is considered too small to support economic development, prompting an aggressive 20,000-metre drilling campaign in 2026.The ongoing program, supported by two active rigs, focuses primarily on infill drilling between three known zones to expand the resource toward a target of approximately 3 million tonnes—seen as the minimum scale required for a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). A smaller portion of drilling will test deeper extensions of the deposit for potential underground development, marking the first step toward longer-term growth.Metallurgical testing indicates a relatively simple processing route, with gravity separation achieving about 75% recovery into a high-grade tungsten concentrate exceeding 60%. The ore is also considered environmentally favorable, lacking harmful elements and unlikely to generate acid. Additional flotation testing is planned to potentially improve recovery further.Infrastructure advantages strengthen the project's outlook, including road access, proximity to regional services, and an existing power line. The company is well-funded, with approximately C$15 million in working capital following a recent financing, sufficient to complete drilling and advance toward a PEA expected in 2027.Fox Tungsten's strategy is supported by strong market dynamics. Tungsten prices have risen sharply due to both geopolitical pressures—particularly Chinese export constraints—and a broader structural supply deficit. With no active tungsten mines in North America, the Fox project could play a key role in diversifying supply if development progresses as planned.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The federal government found $1.45 billion for a plan to acquire more than 2,200 unsold condos in British Columbia.At the same time, Canada's Veteran Homelessness Program is operating with $72.9 million through 2028, while approximately 1,800 veterans remain without stable housing.In this episode, Kelsi Sheren looks at the numbers side by side and asks a simple question: what does government spending tell us about its priorities?We break down the B.C. condo acquisition plan, the questions surrounding how it will work, veteran homelessness in Canada, and why the speed and scale of Ottawa's response looks very different depending on who is waiting for help.This isn't an argument against housing Canadians. It's an examination of urgency, spending, and the choices governments make when deciding where billions of dollars move quickly and where progress remains painfully slow.Read the sources, look at the numbers, and draw your own conclusions.SOURCES & FURTHER READING:Canada–British Columbia housing partnership — Government of Canadahttps://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2026/06/18/canada-and-british-columbia-forge-new-partnership-accelerateVeteran Homelessness Program — Government of Canadahttps://housing-infrastructure.canada.ca/homelessness-sans-abri/veterans-anciens-combattants-eng.htmlSpring 2026 Housing Supply Report — CMHChttps://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/professionals/housing-markets-data-and-research/market-reports/housing-market/housing-supply-reportCondominium apartment market risks in Toronto and Vancouver — CMHChttps://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/observer/2025/condominium-apartment-market-risks-toronto-vancouverPoilievre asks ethics committee to probe plan to buy unsold B.C. condos — Global Newshttps://globalnews.ca/news/11942050/poilievre-bc-condo-plan-ethics-committee-probe-request/Subscribe for independent commentary and investigations into Canadian politics, veterans, government policy, and the stories that deserve a closer look.Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

In the latest episode of Rising Tide the Ocean Podcast Oceanographer and Blue Frontier board member Joy Leilei Shih and David Helvarg talk with Australian based scientist Dr. Aaron Eger, one of the world's top kelp researchers. Based at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, he is the founder and program director of the global ‘Kelp Forest Alliance,' also the lead author of 3 major scientific kelp reports that have come out over the last 4 years. These include one that identifies the value of kelp forests at roughly half a trillion dollars a year. Aaron discusses food and biodiversity, coastal protection, nutrient and carbon reduction and other values of kelp. He'll also talk about growing up in coastal British Columbia and the fun of being in on and around macro-algae as the other great fast-growing world forest that is less known because it thrives underwater. Also, he'll say what threatens it and what we can do about that.

Interview with Paul Lock, Chairman & MD of Flagship MineralsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/flagship-minerals-asxflg-fast-tracks-isidora-project-to-21m-oz-gold-milestone-10307Recording date: 9th July 2026Flagship Minerals has repositioned itself as a focused gold and copper explorer, combining advancement of its flagship Isidora Gold Project in Chile with the acquisition of the Whipsaw Copper Project in British Columbia. The strategic shift is reinforced by the divestment of its RK Lithium Project for US$4 million, providing non-dilutive funding while simplifying the company's commodity exposure.At the core of Flagship's portfolio is the 2.1 million ounce Isidora project, where recent metallurgical drilling and trenching have been completed. The company is now progressing infill and extension drilling aimed at upgrading and expanding the resource, with an updated estimate targeted for late 2026 or early 2027. Parallel workstreams—including metallurgical testing, environmental studies, and water solution assessments, are feeding into a prefeasibility study expected in early 2027. Management believes Isidora remains significantly undervalued compared to peers, attributing the gap primarily to investor concerns around potential equity dilution rather than asset quality.The newly acquired Whipsaw Copper Project introduces large-scale copper optionality in a Tier-1 jurisdiction. Located near an operating mine in British Columbia, Whipsaw hosts a substantial exploration target of up to 1.02 billion tonnes at 0.2–0.4% copper equivalent. Importantly, the deal is structured with deferred payments and no minimum exploration spend, allowing Flagship to manage capital efficiently. The company is evaluating whether to advance drilling or spin out the asset into a separate listed vehicle, offering flexibility in how value is realized.Flagship's broader strategy reflects a shift among junior miners toward multi-asset, multi-commodity portfolios that reduce reliance on a single project. With near-term catalysts at Isidora and strategic options at Whipsaw, the company aims to deliver growth, diversification, and a clearer pathway toward development without excessive shareholder dilution.View Flagship Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/flagship-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Part Three of the Sasquatch Unleashed  is the one where I stop weighing other people's evidence and put my own convictions to the test. I take you deep into the British Columbia backcountry, seventeen miles down a logging road with no cell signal, on a week-long expedition with the controversial researcher Todd Standing.This is the same man I had called a hoaxer, out loud, on my own show, and I went out there to find out whether I had him wrong the whole time. I walk you through the whole trip, from the ice baths in the glacial river and the tree breaks along the road, to the trackway I found pressed into the moss, the tree knocks that rolled in out of the dark, and the night the sky over our camp did something I still can't explain. I share the interviews that got me there too, my long conversations with survival expert Les Stroud and with Todd himself, and the wave of backlash I came home to, gorilla gloves and all.From the field, I turn the lens around onto us. I dig into the two forces that quietly wreck this whole subject, pareidolia and misidentification.Why good, honest people see figures in the shadows that were never there and hear words and howls in nothing but random noise. Drawing on my sixteen years in law enforcement, I lay out how fragile eyewitness memory really is, how a leading question can plant a detail that was never seen, and what it actually takes to separate a genuine encounter from a trick of the mind.Then I close the part on the tool this entire field lives or dies on.The scientific method. I trace it from Francis Bacon and Isaac Newton to Karl Popper and the idea of falsifiability, make the case for citizen scientists getting out in the woods the right way, and take on the single biggest enemy of honest research, confirmation bias. Because it would have been easy to come home from Radium a believer, and just as easy to come home a cynic.The harder thing, the honest thing, is to sit in the middle with the evidence and refuse to lie to yourself in either direction.Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Despite decades of urgency and alarm, progress on climate change has felt frustratingly slow. What if we've been going about it all wrong? Elizabeth Dunn and Jiaying "JZ" Zhao think there's a missing ingredient in the conversation: joy. In their new book, Leave the Lights On, Liz and JZ draw on psychology, behavioral science, and sustainability research to argue that the most effective climate solutions aren't rooted in guilt, fear, or self-denial. They're rooted in easy choices that also make your life better. Today on the show: why doom-and-gloom messaging backfires, what bacon dipped in maple syrup has to do with saving the planet, how buying more underwear might just protect our species, and why the choices that help most are also the ones that make us happier. *** Chapters: (00:00) Introduction  (02:23) Why Climate Fear Backfires (09:24) The Case for Making Meat a Treat (17:44) The BLT Climate Paradox (20:53) The Hidden Climate Cost of Your Bank Account (23:50) Fast Fashion, Slow Happiness (31:10) Why Driving Makes Us Unhappy (39:08) The Best Trips Are Closer Than You Think (45:24) The Science of Social Tipping Points (49:41) The Climate Power of a Single Vote About the Guests:  Elizabeth Dunn is a professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia and one of the world's leading researchers on happiness and well-being.

May 26, 1989. Kelowna, British Columbia. While taking a lengthy backpacking trip through Canada, 20-year old British national Charles Horvath cashes a cheque at a bank, but soon vanishes without a trace. After not hearing from him for several months, Charles' mother, Denise Allan, travels to Kelowna to perform a search and learns that Charles was staying at a local campground until he abruptly disappeared and left his personal belongings behind. Over the years, there are a number of leads, including an anonymous note which states that Charles was killed at a party before his body was dumped in a lake, but no evidence is found to indicate what happened to him. Did Charles Horvath become a victim of foul play? If not, what actually caused his disappearance? On this week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly”, we cover an unsolved missing persons case involving a victim who vanished while travelling through our podcast's home country of Canada.If you have any information about this case, please contact the Kelowna detachment of the RCMP at (250) 762-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).Support the show:Patreon.com/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldAdditional Reading:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Charles_Horvath-Allanhttps://unsolved.com/gallery/charles-horvath/https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Charles_Horvathhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/mother-spends-40000-pounds-trying-to-trace-son-1556520.htmlhttps://globalnews.ca/news/71198/search-for-missing-son-brings-mother-back-to-kelowna/http://globalnews.ca/news/1169821/still-no-sign-of-charles-horvath-25-years-later/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/charles-horvath-allan-s-mother-makes-last-effort-in-search-of-answers-for-missing-son-1.3076705https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/u-k-mom-has-new-hope-of-finding-out-what-happened-to-her-son-30-years-after-he-disappeared-in-b-c-1.5705896https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/we-re-still-searching-for-answers-mother-determined-to-solve-30-year-old-case-of-missing-son-1.4846262https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/the-30-year-search-for-the-u-k-s-most-famous-missing-sonhttps://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/incredible-choir-bound-together-heartache-7919460https://www.kamloopsbcnow.com/watercooler/news/news/Kelowna/GoFundMe_started_in_last_ditch_effort_to_find_Charles_Horvath_who_disappeared_without_a_trace_in_Kelowna_34_years_ago/https://www.newspapers.com/image/504855528/https://www.newspapers.com/image/494974095/https://crimeblogger1983.blogspot.com/2019/04/murdered-in-canada-karoly-charles-john.html

(Riverton, WY) – After a wild and successful conclusion to the Babe Ruth Baseball State Tournament in Gillette, the Riverton 14U squad earned the opportunity to continue their summertime fun. Riverton finsihed their state run against the same Cheyenne team that had defeated them in last year’s championship game and had gotten the better of them earlier in 2026 pool-play. After playing five games in three days, neither team had many pitching options remaining. The scoreboard in the title game made that no secret. Riverton 25 Cheyenne 23. A championship and some revenge for the kids from the Rendezvous City. Head Coach Casey Parker and his athletes now prepare to head to Meridian, Idaho July 19-22 for the Pacific Northwest Regional Tournament. They’ll play against champs from Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alberta, Canada. County 10 extended an invitation for the entire team to come join us for some interview fun. We had the chance to visit with Coach Parker as well as athletes; Garrett Parker, Zander Weliver, Tracen Barton, Collin Thompson and Braxton Blumenshine. To listen to all of the conversations, hit the player down below or find the County 10 Sports Podcast anywhere you listen to podcasts! Collin Thompson, Zander Weliver and Tracen Barton hang out in the County 10 office. H/T: Kylee Barton The team is hoping to fundraise for their trip to Idaho.

Part Two of the Sasquatch Unleashed picks the historical trail right back up, and the encounters only get stranger. I take you to a cabin near Mount St. Helens in nineteen twenty-four, where five miners spent a night under a hail of stones from what they swore were apemen, the story that gave Ape Canyon its name.I walk through Albert Ostman's claim that a family of these creatures carried him off in the British Columbia backcountry and held him for six days. I read you William Roe's sworn affidavit, word for word, about the day he watched a creature strip leaves from a branch with its teeth and couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger.And I share the Ruby Creek incident, where a family came home to a fifty-five-gallon barrel of salted fish torn open and flung across the yard, told through Ivan Sanderson's own account of sitting down with them years later. From there I turn the lens away from the deep woods and onto our living rooms. I trace how Bigfoot went from a figure of dread to a household name, from Leonard Nimoy and In Search Of, to the robot Bigfoot on The Six Million Dollar Man, to the gentle giant of Harry and the Hendersons, and on to Finding Bigfoot and a parade of beer commercials and mattress ads. Then I ask a harder question that I've wrestled with for years. Has all that pop-culture saturation actually driven the number of reported sightings up?I get honest about the power of suggestion, the way memory bends, and how the very shows that spread the word can also shape what people think they saw.And then we get into the ugly side of this whole thing. The hoaxes. I lay out the Ray Wallace wooden-stomper story and why it doesn't hold up as the explanation for everything, and the spectacular collapse of the Rick Dyer Georgia hoax, the freezer, the rubber suit, and the whole circus around it. I dig into why people fake this stuff in the first place, from attention and pranks to money, belonging, the thrill of the con, and the darker pull of narcissism.Because if we're ever going to find the truth out there, we have to be willing to name the fakes for what they areEmail BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Life is what you make it. For Craig and Kendra Pearce moving into the wilds of Bone Island off the coast of British Columbia was a gesture of intention to change the way they interact with the natural world and to slow down from the frantic pace of urban living. The daily reminders of the world around them and the necessity to interface with nature enhanced the way Craig and Kendra lived. Over time, their desire to create slower, analogue rituals that offered moments of pause and reflection gave way to Goodland, a company focused on building beautiful, lasting accoutrements that shared their quality of life with others.   Mirai has been a fan of Goodland and what Craig and Kendra have been doing for several years. In this episode of Asymmetry, Ryan sits down with Craig to discuss the origins of Goodland, how the company started and has grown, and where they are headed in their journey towards a sustainable future while preserving their slower lifestyle. What followed was a beautiful discussion of merging modern life with the natural world and the good life that dance can create.  Take a look at how Mirai and Goodland have combined forces to offer a slice of the good life to Mirai's community here. Enjoy ‘yall!

Episode 426: On June 29th, 2021, Lytton, British Columbia, recorded the highest air temperature in Canadian history: 49.6 degrees Celsius. The next day, the town burned to the ground in under two hours, killing two people and destroying more than 150 homes and businesses across the Village of Lytton and the neighbouring Lytton First Nation reserves. Nearly four years later, the cause of the fire remains officially undetermined, the recovery has become its own bureaucratic disaster, and a class-action lawsuit against Canada's two largest railways is still working its way through the BC Supreme Court. This episode tells the story of the heat, the fire, the two people who didn't make it out, and the years-long collapse of the rebuild that followed. Later in the episode, Mike sits down with Tim Conrad of Butterfly Effect Communications to talk crisis communications — what the first hours of a disaster like Lytton demand, and what it takes to keep a fractured, grieving community informed years into a recovery that never seems to end.

August 1, 1989. Prince George, British Columbia. After meeting an unidentified bearded man at a local pub, 26-year old Ronnie Jack is supposedly offered a temporary job at a remote logging camp located about 40 kilometres away. Later that night, Ronnie, his 26-year old spouse Doreen Jack, and their two children – nine-year old Russell and four-year old Ryan – are seen climbing into this man's pick-up truck, but after they drive away, the family is never heard from again. Over the years, investigators explore some leads, including an anonymous phone tip about the victims' remains being buried on a ranch, but no trace of the Jack family is ever found. To commemorate Canada Day, this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold” explores the unsolved disappearance of an Indigenous family, which is considered to be one of the most baffling mysteries in the history of the country. If you have any information about this case, please contact the Prince George detachment of the RCMP at (250) 561-3300 or Northern B.C. Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
