Cage-free eggs are everywhere. They are now available at most every grocery store, a muffin lists cage-free eggs in the ingredients, and a restaurant touts cage-free omelettes on their menu. Is this a win for hens? We crack into this question with Amber Canavan examining PETA's new document called, “White Paper On the Failure of Cage-Free Housing Systems To Reduce Over All Hen Suffering”.On this episode, Amber shares why PETA released this white paper, how cage-free facilities can actually create new and worse conditions for hens, and how humanewashing eases consumers concerns about the treatment of farmed animals. Amber and Hope both share first hand experience of witnessing cage-free facilities and the reality of cage-free egg farming. Amber Canavan is Associate Director of Vegan Campaigns at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Her victories include persuading Costco, Target, and Albertsons to stop selling coconut milk sourced from brands that used forced monkey labor in Thailand; getting Kikkoman soy source to end decades-long experiments on animals; compelling Starbucks, Dutch Bros, and other coffee chains to drop a vegan milk upcharge; and orchestrating the rescue of over 400 hens from a cage free egg facility that was shutting down. She has worked on various animal rights legislation, including the foie gras sales ban that passed in New York City. Resources:PETA's Cage-Free White PaperThe Cage-Free Conundrum, Hope for the Animals Podcast Episode 100The Humane Deception with Lia Wilbourn, Hope for the Animals Podcast Episode 124Support this podcast:Hope for the Animals PodcastCompassionate LivingSocial Media:FacebookInstagramYouTube 

Joe Canavan built three companies that redefined how Canadians invest — then walked away, backed Wealthsimple before anyone knew the name, and now he's asking one question: why does Canada keep burning down what it builds?In this episode of Insight Is Capital, host Pierre Daillie sits down with Joe Canavan, Principal at Canavan Capital and one of Bay Street's most consequential institution builders, for a wide-ranging conversation on wealth creation, entrepreneurship, and Canada's innovation deficit. Canavan traces his career from retail advisor to founding Fidelity Canada's growth era, GT Global, and Synergy Asset Management — and through to early-stage investing in Wealthsimple, Layer 6, Koho Financial, CapIntel, and Radical AI.He unpacks why Canada's startup ecosystem was on the verge of becoming Silicon North before self-inflicted policy decisions reversed the momentum, and makes the case for a generational vision — "Innovation Nation 2047" — to build millions more millionaires, retain top talent, and attract global capital. The conversation also covers artificial general intelligence, quantum computing, robotics, financial infrastructure security, the leadership crisis in Canadian cities, and why incentives — as Charlie Munger said — determine every outcome.CHAPTERS00:00 – Introduction: What does it actually take to build wealth? 01:55 – Joe's origin story: From new-Canadian roots to Bay Street 03:23 – Building Fidelity Canada, GT Global, and Synergy Asset Management 06:38 – Stepping back, family first, and becoming the "accidental capitalist" 10:11 – How founders found Joe: Wealthsimple, Coho, Layer Six, Cap Intel 13:18 – Next Canada and building the entrepreneurship ecosystem 15:08 – Silicon North: How Canada almost became a global tech hub 18:01 – Policy failure: How capital gains tax changes broke the momentum 20:10 – Incentives drive outcomes: The Charlie Munger principle applied to Canada 22:30 – The case for millions more Canadian millionaires 24:47 – Innovation Nation 2034/2047: Own the podium for startups 39:24 – Leadership as the root cause: Cities, provinces, and the national vision 42:00 – Why financial infrastructure (the plumbing) matters more than the app 44:22 – AGI, artificial general intelligence, and the coming technological singularity 46:52 – Robotics, Elon Musk, and where the puck is going 48:14 – How Joe structures his 10-year investment thesis 52:52 – Early bet on Wealthsimple: Backing people before proof 56:39 – Altruism meets capitalism: The real cost of startup investing 58:55 – Final question: If you had the mandate to make Canada dramatically wealthier, where do you start?#CanadianEntrepreneurship #InsightIsCapital #JoeCanavan #Wealthsimple #FinancialInfrastructure #AIInvesting #QuantumComputing #SiliconNorth #VentureCapital #BayStreet #StartupEcosystem #CanadianFintech #WealthCreation #InnovationNation #LeadershipMatters #CanadianInvestors #AGI #CapitalMarkets #Fintech #AdvisorAnalyst

On the Morning News Express, Bob Miller welcomed Thomas Canavan, Chief Operating Officer of the National Law Enforcement Museum, to talk about their new “SNIPER” exhibit now open to the public. Canavan shared what visitors can expect from the exhibit, which explores the history, training, and real-life role of law enforcement snipers, offering a deeper look into the precision, decision-making, and responsibility behind the badge.

Galway's senior hurlers produced a thrilling fightback at the TUS Gaelic Grounds on Saturday (21st March 2026) in the National Hurling League, but couldn't stop Limerick setting up a final clash with Cork. The Tribesmen trailed by 11 points early in the second half but reduced that deficit to two before the finish.  However, they paid the price for goals conceded to Cathal O'Neill and Aaron Gillane.  Aaron Niland was Galway's top scorer with 0-10 while Cathal Mannion, Jason Rabbitte and Darragh Neary shared 0-11 from play. Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Sean Walsh, Andy Coen, Cyril Farrell and Niall Canavan. == Galway's next game is the opening round of the Leinster championship on Saturday, 18th April.  Throw-in at Pearse Stadium is 4.30pm.

I highlighted last week the arcane discussion in Senate estimates about measuring earnings growth across the Australian economy. Senator Canavan suggested there was some gaslighting going on as the RBA pivot away from the so called wage price index, to a measure which includes people shifting jobs, reported in the national accounts as average earnings. … Continue reading "15 Years Of “No Real Income Growth”?"

A meticulously researched page-turner about one of the Philadelphia suburbs' most shocking 20th-century crimes. A gunman broke into Jack and Peggy Abt's house moments after the last family member left for the day. He took a seat next to the upright piano in the living room and waited silently for 11 hours. He didn't eat. He didn't sleep. He didn't watch television.People expect things to go bump in the night, but, in 1976, most adults never fretted a stranger would invade the sanctity of their home in the middle of the day. Six people walked through the kitchen door one by one that afternoon, all expecting nothing more than a Friday night fish fry. The killer leaped out from behind the living room wall over and over and over and over and over and over again. He fired at them at a distance of less than 18 inches, the width of a dining room chair. After each murder, he dragged the body to the basement. Then, to maintain the element of surprise, he sped back upstairs to tidy up for his next unsuspecting victim.This first-person story from a news reporter who was on the scene 90 minutes after the killer slipped away is built from autopsy reports, prison records, IQ tests, trial transcripts, the killer's own eidetic confession, interviews with witnesses in 1976 and in the 2020s, and the author's experiences covering the case from the first night to the stunning courtroom moment when the announcement of six death penalties was met with loud cheers.With that research, it was possible to reconstruct the six murders, minute by minute. Tension builds as the six innocent victims turn the kitchen doorknob at 3:30, 4:15, 4:40, 5:15, 6:10 and at 6:30. Readers know their fates, but they didn't.

Ai slop as usual for shownotes. If HKJ pays me some of those HKDs then I'll maybe make an effort. Until then, eat your robot kibble and enjoy the show! Australia Day tensions at home and political shocks abroad drive this packed episode of The Two Jacks. Joel (Jack the Insider) and Hong Kong Jack unpack the Liberal–National implosion, leadership manoeuvring, hate‑speech laws and neo‑Nazi “martyrs” springing from Australia Day rallies and a near‑catastrophic device in Perth. They then cross to the US for the fallout from the ICE killing of Minneapolis nurse Alex Pretty, Kristi Noem's precarious future, Trump's political instincts, and Mark Carney's Davos warning that we now live in a world with “no rules.” Along the way they dissect Brexit's economic hangover, EU over‑regulation, India's Republic Day contrast with Australia's low‑key national day, and finish with sport: Premier League title nerves, Australian Open heat controversies, bushfires, and a final detour through film censorship trivia in Ireland.00:00 – Theme and intro00:25 – Welcome back to The Two Jacks; Joel (Jack the Insider) in Australia and Hong Kong Jack set the scene for episode 142, recorded 27 January, the day after Australia Day.​Australian politics and the Liberal–National implosion00:40 – Coalition “no more”: the decoupling of Liberals and Nationals, and whether Anthony Albanese is the Stephen Bradbury of Australian politics or a quiet tactician.​01:10 – How Labor's racial vilification moves and 18C history boxed the opposition in; Susan Ley's failed emergency‑sitting gambit on antisemitism laws.​02:00 – Firearms law changes and new powers to ban hate groups like Hizb ut‑Tahrir and the National Socialist Network, and the role of ASIO referrals and ministerial discretion.​03:10 – Canavan's “slippery slope” fears about bans being turned on mainstream groups, and what that reveals about the Nationals' hunger for anti‑immigration rhetoric under pressure from One Nation and Pauline Hanson.​Centre‑right parties in a squeeze04:00 – The Nationals as the “five‑percenters” who pull the coalition's agenda with a small vote share; listener Bassman calls them the “un‑Nationals.”​05:00 – Global “tough times” for centre‑right parties: the pincer between moving to the centre (and leaving a vacuum for far‑right populists) or moving right and losing the middle.​05:40 – Hong Kong Jack's argument for broad churches: keeping everyone from sensible One Nation types to inner‑city wets under one tent, as Labor did with its far‑left “fruit loops” in the 1980s.​07:00 – Decline of small‑l liberals inside the Liberal Party, the thinning ranks of progressive conservatives, and the enduring “sprinkling of nuts” on the hard right.​Leadership spills and who's next07:20 – Susan Ley's lonely press conferences, Ted O'Brien's silence, and the air of inevitability about a leadership spill before or by budget time.​08:20 – Why the leadership needs “strength at the top”: the Gareth Evans line to Hawke – “the dogs are pissing on your swag” – as a metaphor for knowing when to go.​09:20 – Conversation about Angus Taylor, Andrew Hastie, Ted O'Brien and even Tim Wilson as possible leaders, and why the wrong timing can make almost anyone opposition leader.​10:40 – History lesson: unlikely leaders who flourished, from Henry Bolte in Victoria to Albanese, once dismissed by his own colleagues as a long shot.​11:40 – Albanese's long apprenticeship: learning from Howard's cautious style and the Rudd–Gillard chaos, and his instinct for the national mood.​Listener mail: Nationals, Barnaby and “public bar” politicians13:00 – Listener Lawrence compares One Nation to Britain's Reform Party; asks if Barnaby Joyce's baggage (drought envoy rorts, “Watergate,” drunken footpath photo) undermines his retail skills.​14:20 – Debating whether Barnaby ever was the “best retail politician” in the country; why he works brilliantly in rural and regional pubs but is “poison in the cities.”​16:10 – The “public bar” politician ideal: Barnaby as hail‑fellow‑well‑met who genuinely likes the people he's talking to, contrasted with Whitlam and Fraser looking awkward in 1970s pub photo ops.​17:20 – John Howard scrounging a fiver to shout a round, Barry Jones dying in Warrnambool pubs, and why Bob Hawke and Tony Abbott always looked at home with a schooner.​Australia Day, antisemitism and street violence18:00 – Australia Day wrap: The Australian newspaper's “social cohesion crisis” framing after antisemitism, violence and extremist rhetoric.​19:10 – Perth's rudimentary explosive device: ball bearings and screws around a liquid in a glass “coffee cup” thrown into an Invasion Day crowd at Forrest Place; police clear the area quickly.​21:00 – Melbourne: small March for Australia turnout, scuffles between their supporters and Invasion Day marchers, arrests likely to follow.​22:10 – Sydney: March for Australia rally of around 2,000 ending at Moore Park, open mic session, and the selection of a man wearing a Celtic cross shirt who launches into a vile antisemitic rant.​23:20 – His subsequent arrest in Darlinghurst and the Section 93Z charge (publicly threatening or inciting violence on racial or religious grounds), with possible three‑year jail term and $11,000 fine.​24:40 – Why the speech appears to meet the elements of the offence, and how such defendants are quickly turned into martyrs and crowdfunding heroes by the extreme right.​26:10 – The psychology of self‑styled martyrs seeking notoriety and donations; parallels with “Free Joel Davis” signs after threats to MP Allegra Spender.​Australia Day vs India's Republic Day27:20 – Australia Day clashing with India's Republic Day: Joel only just realises the overlap; Jack has known for years.​28:00 – History recap: Australia Day as a 1930s invention, not a national holiday until Keating's government in 1995; its big cultural take‑off in the 1988 Bicentennial year.​29:10 – India's enormous Republic Day parade: 10,000+ guests, missiles and tanks on show, EU leaders in attendance, congratulations from President Trump and President Xi – easily out‑shining Australia's low‑key day.​30:00 – Why big military parades feel culturally wrong in Australia; the discomfort with tanks and squeaky‑wheeled machinery rolling down main streets.​30:30 – The 26 January date debate: protests by Invasion Day marchers vs “flag shaggers,” plateauing protest numbers, and the sense that for most Australians it's just another day off.​31:20 – Arguments for a different nation‑building day (maybe early January for a built‑in long weekend), and the need for a better way to celebrate Australia's achievements without performative patriotism.​32:40 – Local citizenship ceremonies, Australia Day ambassadors and quiet country‑town rituals that still work well in spite of the culture war.​Minneapolis outrage, ICE shootings and US politics34:20 – Turning to the United States: the shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretty by ICE agents in Minneapolis and the shock it has injected into US domestic politics.​34:50 – Video evidence vs official narrative: Pretty appears to be disarmed before being shot; the administration initially claiming he was planning a massacre of ICE agents.​35:40 – Trump's early blame of Democrat officials and policies, then a noticeable shift as outrage spreads more broadly across the political spectrum and the Insurrection Act chatter cools.​36:20 – Tom Homan's deployment to Minneapolis, the demotion of Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino, and reports that Homan will now report directly to President Trump rather than Kristi Noem.​37:10 – Internal GOP friction: suggestions Noem relished confrontation, while Homan did not;
