Is Canada ready to step onto the Eurovision stage, and what would that say about how the country sees its cultural role internationally? After the federal government said in the 2025 budget that it was "working with CBC/Radio-Canada to explore Canada's participation in Eurovision," questions remain about how such a move would work, what it would cost, and whether it is a gamble worth taking. From Ottawa, Nomi Claire Lazar, professor of public and international affairs at the University of Ottawa, examines the political and public value of the proposal, while Toronto-based Brock University adjunct professor Karen Fricker brings a critical perspective shaped by her long engagement with Eurovision as a cultural institution. We then look inward, to the cultural legacy Canada has already built. Toronto-made children's television, from Mr. Dressup and Degrassi to Polka Dot Door and Today's Special, shaped generations of viewers in Ontario and beyond. Rundown producer Colin Ellis speaks with cultural historian Ed Conroy about his new book, ImagiNation: The Golden Age of Toronto Kids' TV, and why revisiting these shows is not just an exercise in nostalgia but a way of understanding how public broadcasting, cultural ambition, and national identity have been constructed and contested over time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A strategic, globally-minded HR leader, Katya drives business innovation through talent and organizational development. Previously, Katya held executive roles at SSENSE, TC Transcontinental, CBC/Radio-Canada, Rio Tinto, Bombardier Aerospace, and Canadian National Railway. Katya is a Board Director at Sanimax and Solotech, and a founding member of Transform Montreal. She's also an ORHRI member, certified Integral Coaching Canada coach, and actively involved in Pour 3 Points, Governance au Féminin, and Monday Girl. 00:00 – Introduction Adam Poser welcomes Katya Laviolette live from Transform 2026 and sets the stage for the conversation. 01:15 – Meet 1Password & Katya Katya introduces herself and 1Password — an identity security company, fully remote for 20 years, now protecting both humans and AI agents. 03:30 – Evaluating Total Comp as a Candidate Breaking down what candidates should actually consider beyond base salary: bonus, equity, and especially benefits — including what employers contribute to healthcare. 06:45 – Table Stakes vs. Standout Benefits What every company must offer vs. what sets 1Password apart: pet telemedicine, 25 days PTO, 4 company-wide wellness days, and robust family planning benefits. 10:30 – Wellness Days Explained Katya unpacks what a "wellness day" actually looks like at 1Password — full company shutdowns so employees can recharge without guilt. 12:00 – Benefits ROI & Utilization How 1Password justifies the cost of premium benefits through utilization data, focus groups, and productivity metrics — and why cutting benefits should be the last resort. 15:00 – The Onboarding Edge: Starting on Wednesday 1Password's unconventional onboarding approach: all new hires start on Wednesdays so managers are ready, systems are prepped, and new employees get 3 days of company-led onboarding before meeting their team. 18:30 – Staying Connected in a Remote Company How 1Password keeps culture alive across 6 countries: city-by-city executive meetups, all-hands sessions, employee resource groups, and intentional cross-functional collaboration. 22:00 – Being Honest in the Interview Process Katya's approach to radical transparency — telling candidates "1Password might not be the place for you" — and why managing expectations is a competitive advantage. 25:30 – Remote Work Isn't for Everyone A candid conversation about the real challenges of remote work, what it takes to thrive in it, and how 1Password supports employees who may be struggling. 28:00 – AI, Fraud & the Future of Recruiting How 1Password is navigating AI-generated applications, over-embellished resumes, and fraudulent candidates — including mandatory in-person finalist interviews for senior roles. 31:00 – What's Exciting Katya Right Now Katya shares what energizes her most: the curiosity of 1Password's workforce and the chance to be part of a genuinely game-changing mission in AI and identity security. Key Takeaways 1. Benefits Are a Recruiting and Retention Weapon Katya emphasizes that benefits extend far beyond table stakes like dental and disability. Standout offerings — family planning, pet telemedicine, wellness days, and generous PTO — are central to 1Password's employer brand and a real differentiator in a competitive talent market. 2. Employer Healthcare Contributions Matter More Than Most Candidates Realize The portion a company pays toward employee healthcare can represent thousands of dollars in annual value. Katya urges candidates to factor this into their true compensation comparison — not just base salary. 3. Benefits Only Work If Employees Know About Them and Use Them 1Password achieves high utilization through proactive education, easy administration, annual focus groups by country, and renewal-time communications that show employees the dollar value of their benefits package. 4. Start New Hires on a Wednesday — Not a Monday By onboarding all new employees on Wednesdays, 1Password ensures managers are focused and ready, systems are set up, and new hires get 3 days of company-led orientation before their team ramps up. It's a simple change with an outsized impact on first impressions. 5. Radical Transparency Reduces Mis-Hires Rather than selling every candidate on the company, Katya actively explains the challenges of remote work and the intensity of 1Password's mission. The company even includes language in offer materials saying "1Password might not be the place for you." This honest framing reduces early attrition. 6. Remote Culture Requires Intentional Design Staying connected across time zones doesn't happen by accident. 1Password invests in city-by- city in-person gatherings, structured all-hands, manager training on relationship-building over Zoom, and employee resource groups to keep culture alive. 7. AI Is Reshaping Recruiting — And Security-First Companies Are Ahead of the Curve 1Password has implemented fraud detection tools at the top of the application funnel, trained interviewers to identify AI-generated content, and instituted multi-stage interview loops with mandatory in-person finalists for senior hires. 8. Don't Cut Benefits When Things Get Tight Benefits are foundational to culture and trust. Katya argues that benefits should be among the last things cut in a cost-reduction scenario — the ROI from retention, productivity, and employer brand far outweighs the savings. 9. Time Is Currency for Employees Whether it's concierge benefits that handle personal logistics, flexible scheduling for a remote lifestyle, or wellness days that give genuine mental recharge time — giving employees their time back is one of the highest-ROI investments a company can make.

Journalists are confronted with many threats, from being exposed to hostile environments – on the field or online – or through the continuous pressures that their job can entail. And these threats have a cost. And while the physical safety of journalists has been a major focus in the profession in the last 30 years, the impact the job can have on journalists' mental wellbeing has been overlooked. But is this now changing? This episode explores the different threats to journalists' mental wellbeing and dives into the question of how newsroom leaders and news managers are addressing it in their organisations, and what forms of support have been put in place in the last few years. This episode comes off the back of the MediaStrong symposium for journalists' mental wellbeing, an initiative created by Leona O'Neill, which was co-curated by the Public Media Alliance and Safely Held Spaces. During this event, the MediaStrong Newsroom Wellbeing Charter was launched.

Guests: Toronto Star journalists Sheila Wang and Emma McIntosh A major joint investigation involving the Toronto Star, CBC/Radio-Canada, La Presse and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists has uncovered more than 100 crypto-to-cash operations running across Canada, with many of them unregistered, unregulated, and openly violating anti–money laundering laws. As part of this collaboration, Star reporters went undercover to see just how easy it is to turn anonymous cryptocurrency into hard cash with no ID and no record of the transaction. In this episode, we break down how these crypto-to-cash services actually work, why experts say they pose a serious risk for money laundering, organized crime and other illicit activity, and why Canadian regulators have struggled to stop a parallel financial system that's operating in plain sight. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz and Sean Pattendon.
This week we sit down with two of the three incredible finalists from Season 9, Jo and Ryan, for a conversation that is honest, funny, emotional, and full of the heart that made this season so special. They take us through their journeys into baking, the surprises and struggles of auditioning, the surreal moment of seeing themselves in the tent, and the behind the scenes stories that made us laugh until we cried. From apron trouble to late night practice bakes to the challenge of keeping the biggest secret of their lives from their families, they paint a picture of a whirlwind experience that changed them forever.We also talk about the emotional toll and the joy of the competition, the friendships that formed under pressure, and the way bakers quietly supported one another even when the cameras were not watching. Jo reflects on the challenge of being away from her kids, Ryan shares the love and encouragement that carried him through his third audition attempt, and together they describe a season filled with extraordinary bakers, long nights, and small victories that meant everything. Their reflections on the finale, the editing, the judges, and the iconic bakes give such a beautiful glimpse into what it felt like to live those moments from the inside.As we wrap this episode, the conversation turns to gratitude, growth, community, and what comes next. Jo and Ryan share the techniques they are proud of, the lessons they will carry forward, and the surreal experience of finding themselves recognized in their hometowns. We talk favorite challenges, baking trends, memories from the tent, and the joy of staying connected after the show. It is a warm and heartfelt visit with two bakers we absolutely adore, and the perfect way to celebrate the end of an unforgettable season.Clips and footage from The Great Canadian Baking Show © 2025 Boat Rocker's Proper Television Inc., in association with CBC/Radio-Canada and Love Productions.

In this episode of Baking Scraps, we sit down with the most recent baker to leave the Great Canadian Baking Show, Margaret Bose-Johnson, to dig into her incredible journey, her gluten-free baking expertise, and the highs and lows of competing in the tent.Margaret shares how her love of baking began on her family's sugar beet farm, opening up about supportive parents, early baking experiments that didn't always go to plan, and the path that eventually led her to apply to the Great Canadian Baking Show three times before finally earning her spot. We explore Margaret's deep dive into gluten-free baking and how years of testing, failing, adjusting, and experimenting helped her create her own custom gluten-free flour blend. She talks about the science behind GF baking, how excitement replaced frustration once she cracked the code, and how that passion shaped her time on the show.Margaret reflects on the intense challenges of the tent, including weather, humidity, time pressure, and the underbaked pie (was it the oven???) that ultimately sent her home. She shares behind-the-scenes insights about equipment quirks, supporting fellow bakers, and the chaotic yet inspiring atmosphere that makes the tent unlike any other kitchen. We also chat about her bi-monthly bake-offs with fellow contestants, favorite technical bakes, gluten-free recreations, and why the Dubai chocolate cookie might be the wildest recipe tackled.Beyond baking, Margaret opens up about balancing her love for dragon boating with her culinary passions, her joy in making puff pastry from scratch, and that age old question: how do you like your butter tarts? We wrap up with a playful round of “This or That,” where Margaret's charming indecisiveness steals the moment.If you love baking, behind-the-scenes stories, and hearing directly from the heart of the Great Canadian Baking Show, you will love this conversation with Margaret.Clips and footage from The Great Canadian Baking Show © 2025 Boat Rocker's Proper Television Inc., in association with CBC/Radio-Canada and Love Productions.

MONCTON, November 8, 2025 In a rapidly changing and uncertain world, Canada's new government is focused on what we can control. We are protecting our communities and our country. We are building our economy with major projects and millions more homes. We are empowering Canadians with lower costs and new opportunities to help you get ahead. We cannot control what other countries do, but we can control what we choose to build, and we are building Canada Strong. Culture is a powerful driver of innovation and inclusion, strengthening both our economy and our identity. In the face of global challenges, culture brings Canadians together, nurturing national pride and preserving the vitality of our communities. Today, David Myles, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages and to the Secretary of State (Nature) and Member of Parliament (Fredericton–Oromocto), announced $277,200 in support for the Réseau atlantique de diffusion des arts de la scène (RADARTS) through the Canada Arts Presentation Fund. This investment will allow the organization to fund the programming of FrancoFête en Acadie for the period from 2026 to 2029. FrancoFête en Acadie, currently underway until November 9, is the flagship event of RADARTS. This annual French-language event, which is holding its 29th edition in 2025, takes place over five days and brings together around 500 Francophone cultural stakeholder. To highlight the investments in culture in Budget 2025, Parliamentary Secretary Myles took part in activities at FrancoFête en Acadie and met with various members of the arts and culture sector in southeast New Brunswick. He visited the Pays de la Sagounine in Bouctouche, the new modern and accessible outdoor amphitheatre for the performing arts at Highland Park in Salisbury, and the Atlantic Ballet of Canada in Moncton. This week, the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages, announced Budget 2025 investments in culture totalling $503 million over four years, starting in 2026-27, in sectors such as the arts, multimedia, journalism, and national celebrations. He made the announcement on behalf of the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Finance and National Revenue. Canada's artists, creators and cultural entrepreneurs are at the heart of our creative economy. Budget 2025 proposes new investments to grow Canada's creative industries and ensure our national cultural institutions remain strong, resilient and successful. This includes support for Telefilm Canada, the Canada Media Fund, the National Film Board, and the Canada Council for the Arts. Budget 2025 also proposes funding to help Canadian talent succeed in an increasingly digital and global marketplace, including through the Canada Music Fund. Culture is experienced locally, in our towns, neighbourhoods, and public spaces. Budget 2025 proposes targeted support to strengthen community identity and participation through experiences and celebrations in every region of Canada. This includes support for local festivals, community anniversaries and community-initiated capital projects through the Building Communities through Arts and Heritage program, and for professionally presented arts festivals or performing arts series through the Canada Arts Presentation Fund. Budget 2025 also proposes funding for communities to celebrate Canada Day and National Acadian Day. In addition, Budget 2025 proposes to provide $150 million in funding to support the modernization of CBC/Radio-Canada's mandate and strengthen its mandate and better deliver for Canadians in both French and English. Additionally, Budget 2025 also proposes to provide $116.3 million to renew the Canada Strong Pass for the holiday season, from December 12, 2025, to January 15, 2026, and for summer 2026. This will provide families and young people free or discounted access to national parks, museums, galleries, and rail travel. Together, those investments are key to protecting Canada's cultural sovereignty, strengthening our economy, and building Canada strong. Quotes When we invest in our culture, we invest in ourselves, and in our capacity to tell our own stories. Across the country, our artists, creators and creative industries fuel innovation, create jobs, and strengthen our economy. In a time of uncertainty, we must protect our cultural sovereignty and help Canadian talent thrive at home and around the world. Budget 2025 meets the moment, positioning Canada's creative economy for growth, competitiveness and stability.” —The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages “At a time with a shifting global economy and rapid technological change, the Government of Canada is committed to supporting cultural workers and strengthening our arts and culture sectors. These measures reflect a clear vision of a strong, united and resilient Canada, where our way of life is protected, celebrated and passed on to future generations.” —The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Finance and National Revenue “Through the new Budget, our government continues to support initiatives that promote the Francophonie across the country and especially here in Atlantic Canada. The funding provided to RADARTS will allow an even greater number of artists and local presenters to work together and offer quality cultural experiences. This is how we're helping build Canada Strong, where the arts play an essential role in the life of our communities.” —David Myles, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages and to the Secretary of State (Nature) and Member of Parliament (Fredericton–Oromocto) “We welcome the renewal of additional funds for the Canada Arts Presentation Fund and the Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage program in the recent federal budget. This renewal for the next three years will allow presenters in Atlantic Canada to better plan their events and their upcoming artistic seasons. We are grateful for the Department's commitment to providing support for the entire performing arts sector.” —Jacinthe Comeau, Executive Director, RADARTSBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.

This week on Baking Scraps, Dominic Ménard-Bilodeau joins Cristina and Lisa to reflect on his unforgettable run on The Great Canadian Baking Show. Fresh off his Week 5 elimination, Dominic opens up to us about the high level of talent this season, the pressure of limited practice time, and the emotional challenge of leaving just before the final stretch.The conversation dives into everything from Pastry Week predictions to Maple Week memories (where Dominic earned his “King of Maple” title) and his creative approach to flavour in his bakes. He shares how his baking obsession began, the story behind his memorable “treasure box” audition bake, and the long-kept secret of filming under wraps (complete with an excuse that we are thrilled and delighted to find that we contributed to!).It's a warm, funny, and inspiring conversation that celebrates growth, creativity, and the joy of baking under pressure.Clips and footage from The Great Canadian Baking Show © 2025 Boat Rocker's Proper Television Inc., in association with CBC/Radio-Canada and Love Productions.

In early 2025, two major elections took place which bore a striking resemblance in their outcomes... the Canadian and Australian elections both saw wins for the left-leaning incumbents while both leaders of the opposition lost their seats. But what did these elections have in store for the two national public media organisations, tasked with covering these elections, and a responsibility to foster an informed citizenry when it comes to casting their vote? In this episode, we host a conversation with the two men tasked with leading the newsrooms for both the ABC and CBC. We examine the challenges when it comes to covering an election in 2025: from politicians unwilling to engage with public media to an audience with diverse needs and habits when it comes to getting news. We explore what new formats are being experimented with, such as explainers, watch-along broadcasts, and a nationwide radio marathon broadcast. And we ask: will there always be a future for the election night show?

Marie-Philippe Bouchard has been in her role as President and CEO of CBC/Radio-Canada for a little under a year.Since her appointment, we've had a federal election that has spared the public broadcaster from defunding threats for now, but certainly not from a broad sentiment that the CBC needs change and evolution. This week, Bouchard unveiled her own five-year vision. Today, she joins the show to discuss the relationship Canadians have with the CBC, and what changes she thinks the public broadcaster needs to make.We'd love to hear from you!

This week on Baking Scraps, special guest hosts Vincent Chan and Steven Levitt (from Great Canadian Baking Show Season 5) join Lisa to chat with Dan Vano, the first baker eliminated on Season 9 of The Great Canadian Baking Show. His time in the tent may have been short, but it was packed with heart, humour, and plenty of butter.Dan talks about the whirlwind experience of stepping into the tent, the nerves and laughter of that first challenge, and the friendships that made it all worthwhile. He shares what surprised him most about being on the show, how he handled the pressure, and why he's still smiling about it all.It's an honest, funny, and uplifting conversation that reminds us why we love the bakers as much as their bakes.Clips and footage from The Great Canadian Baking Show © 2025 Boat Rocker's Proper Television Inc., produced in association with CBC/Radio-Canada and Love Productions.

In our season nine premiere, we welcome Martha Paynter, nurse, scholar and author of Lawless: Abortion Under Complete Decriminalization. We discuss Canada's complete decriminalization of abortion (the only country to do so), the fascinating and often fraught history that brought us to this point, abortion as a public good, the influence of the anti-choice lobby here and the overturning of Roe vs. Wade in the US, and what it takes to make abortion truly equitable when decriminalization is not enough. Reflecting on the need to understand abortion as a public good, Paynter says: “We have these major cultural forces that just reiterate this idea that abortion is rare and hard. And it's not, it's very normal. It's very common and it takes seven minutes. And actually it will allow you to follow your dreams. Whether that dream is to escape a violent relationship or to finish your graduate degree or whatever. So we do need to have this shift in the way we talk about abortion. And we need to understand abortion, not just as healthcare, but as this force of good in our society.” About today's guest: Dr. Martha Paynter has worked to advance abortion access in Canada for over 20 years. A writer, nurse and public scholar, she is recognized internationally for her expertise at the nexus of reproductive justice and prisoner health. She is an associate professor at the University of New Brunswick Faculty of Nursing, where her research addresses the health rights of people experiencing incarceration and sexual and reproductive health care in Canada and around the world.

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims explains why Canada's EV mandate is doomed to fail—and reveals the stunning growth of CBC's six-figure bureaucracy. The federal government wants to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035. But Canada's grid can't support it, rural drivers are being ignored, and most Canadians simply can't afford the shift. Kris breaks down why the mandate is unrealistic, expensive, and bound to fail. Then, Kris is joined by Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano to expose new access-to-information findings about six-figure compensation at CBC/Radio-Canada.

It's Tuesday, April 29th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Canadians elect liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney to full term Canada's Liberal Party won Monday's national election with voters giving Mark Carney, a full term as prime minister, according to the national broadcaster CBC/Radio Canada. They chose a seasoned economist and policymaker to guide their country through turbulent times, reports The Epoch Times. The full results should be available early this morning. But the voters' decision sealed a stunning turnaround for the Liberal Party that just months ago seemed all but certain to lose to the Conservative Party, led by career politician Pierre Polievre. Carney has been prime minister since March, when former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stepped down. Going into the election, leftist Mark Carney led conservative Pierre Polievre by a 3.5% margin. Canadians favor abortion and homosexual faux marriage Canada is a progressive nation, progressive towards that which is evil. Sadly, 80% of Canadians favor abortion and 76% favor homosexual faux marriage or legal recognition. Canada is the eighth most pro-homosexual nation in the world, on at least one survey. Arson attacks on Canadian churches have doubled Over the last ten years, arson attacks on Canadian churches have risen from about 35 per year to 75 per year. That's about triple the rate of arson attacks on churches in the United Kingdom and the United States, according to a well-documented report from Macdonald-Laurier. Unbelievably, only about 4% of the arson attacks are investigated and charged. Russia cozies up with North Korea Russia's relationship with North Korea is more solidified, with the official Russian TASS News Agency confirming yesterday that the nations have signed a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement. Russian President Valdimir Putin issued a statement in which he commended North Korean soldiers for what he called “North Korean soldier's heroism, their excellent training, and dedication displayed while fighting, shoulder to shoulder with Russian soldiers, defending our Motherland as their own.” He added that, ”Our North Korean friends' move was guided by a sense of solidarity, justice, and genuine comradery.” North Korea remains the most dangerous country for Christians The Open Doors' World Watch list puts North Korea at the top of the list for the most extreme persecution of Christians in the world. In early 2024, the North Korean government announced stricter regulations and more draconian crackdowns and terrifying persecution of its citizenry. According to official reports, “the authorities publicly executed about 30 middle-school students (early teenagers) for watching a Korean drama on a USB drive. Several teenagers (17 years old) were sentenced to life imprisonment or death for similar reasons in June and July 2024.” Isaiah 10 speaks of these tyrants: “Woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees, and the writers who keep writing oppression, to turn aside the needy from justice and to rob the poor of My people of their right. .. What will you do on the day of punishment, in the ruin that will come from afar? … When the Lord has finished all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, He will punish the speech of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes.” Trump's first 100 days: Southern border secure, economy faltering Today marks President Donald Trump's first 100 days in office. The U.S. Border Patrol encounters with illegal immigrants plunged to 7,000 in March—the lowest number in at least 25 years. By contrast, there were 250,000 illegal border crossings in December 2023. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrest rates have doubled since last year, increasing from 310 to about 650 per day. Plus, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the results of Operation Tidal Wave. LEAVITT: “We are in the beginning stages of carrying out the largest deportation campaign in American history. Over this past weekend, it was announced that through Operation Tidal Wave, a joint effort between ICE Miami and Florida law enforcement agencies, nearly 800 illegal aliens were arrested during the first four days alone. “Among those arrested were a Colombian murderer, an alleged MS-13 and 18th Street gang members, and a Russian with a red notice for manslaughter. “And on the other side of the country, in the early Sunday morning hours, DOJ and DHS together launched a joint raid of an illegal alien underground nightclub used by Tren de Aragua in Colorado Springs, Colorado, DHS took more than 100 illegal aliens into custody, and many drugs and weapons were also seized. “Operation Tidal Wave is a preview of what is to come around this country: Large scale operations that employ our state and local enforcement partners to get criminal illegal aliens off our streets.” While our southern border is more secure and we're deporting illegal criminals, the American economy is faltering. Estimates of the first quarter Gross Domestic Product growth rate are coming in anywhere from -0.4% to 0.8%, a sharp decrease from fourth quarter 2024 results of 2.4%. Housing sales down Housing sales are sagging here in the U.S. Supply of existing homes stands at the highest level since 2016, nine years ago. Sales numbers are down to the lowest levels in 14 years. U.S./Chinese trade down American trade with China is taking a hit. Vizion Global Ocean Bookings Tracker records a 44% decline on trade, year-over-year. Overall, U.S. imports are down 22%, year-over-year. Abortion Kill Pill 22 times more dangerous than first reported About two-thirds of the officially-recorded abortions in this country are now conducted by the Abortion Kill Pill. But now comes this -- the “largest-known study of the abortion pill,” conducted by the Ethics and Public Policy Center. Complications with the Abortion Kill Pill are 22 times higher than first reported. Based on extensive research on hundreds of thousands of insurance claims, 10% of women who take the mifepristone kill pill suffer from a serious adverse event, such as an infection or hemorrhage soon afterward. Trinity Evangelical Divinity Seminary caves for survival And finally, a major U.S. evangelical seminary is moving to Canada. Trinity Evangelical Divinity Seminary in Illinois will be joining forces with Trinity Western University in British Columbia. But Trinity Western capitulated to Canada's requirement that students not sign a covenant prohibiting “sexual activity outside of marriage between a man and a woman.” Trinity Divinity School was formed to train ministers for the Evangelical Free Church of America back in 1897. Full time enrollment has dropped from 897 to 402 over the last twenty years. Proverbs 25:26 says, “As a troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring, so is a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, April 29th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Some pet owners are abandoning their animals because they can't keep up with the high cost of veterinary care and medications.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Gail Lukasik grew up in the suburb of Parma. Her mother, an avid moviegoer, took her Friday nights to the local movie theater. That's where she fell in love with stories of all kinds. Her dream was to be a movie star, a ballerina or a writer. As luck would have it, she realized two of her three dreams. She was a member of the Cleveland Civic Ballet Company. And she's the author of five mystery novels, a memoir, a book of poetry, and numerous poems, essays, and short stories. After earning a PhD and MA in English with a specialization in writing poetry, Gail decided to write a mystery novel at the urging of her son. Destroying Angels, the first book in her Leigh Girard mystery series, was described by Kirkus Reviews as “a riveting debut thriller.” She went on to write two more books in the series, Death's Door and Peak Season for Murder, which won a Lovey Award for Best Traditional Sleuth. The Lost Artist, her stand-alone mystery, reflected her love of the visual arts and 19th century history. In 2017 Gail's memoir, White Like Her: My Family's Story of Race and Racial Passing, captured national and international attention. The Washington Post named the book one of the most inspiring stories of the year. After she and her “lost” New Orleans family appeared on NBC's The Today Show, her memoir reached the top 100 book on Amazon and led to her appearing in the short documentary film, History of Memory. The film won a Tribeca Film Award (Amazon Prime). Her section of the film, “The Secret Album,” tells her mother's story of passing. Gail's many of years of teaching on the university level segued into a vibrant speaking career. She's given numerous presentations at libraries, books groups, genealogical and historical organizations, and was on BBC World News, WGN-TV Morning News Show, WTTW's Chicago Tonight and CBC Radio Canada, to name a few. She's also lectured on diversity and the writing process at the University of Illinois-Chicago, Kenyon College and Northwestern University. Her articles about coming to terms with her mixed-race identity were published in The Washington Post, Mic.com, Salon.com, Independent.co.uk, Upworthy, Mis. Magazine and The Daily Beast. Wanting to return to her mystery roots, Gail wrote her fifth mystery, The Darkness Surrounds Us, a Gothic, historical mystery. Two historical events inspired the book—the 1918 Spanish flu and the rise of utopian communities in the 19th century. Still an avid moviegoer, Gail lives in Libertyville, Illinois with her husband.

Witness to Yesterday (The Champlain Society Podcast on Canadian History)
Greg Marchildon talks to Gerald Friesen about his book, The Honourable John Norquay: Indigenous Premier, Canadian Statesman. John Norquay, orphan and prodigy was a leader among the Scots Cree peoples of western Canada. Born in the Red River Settlement, he farmed, hunted, traded, and taught school before becoming a legislator, cabinet minister, and, from 1878 to 1887, premier of Manitoba. Once described as Louis Riel's alter ego, he skirmished with prime minister John A. Macdonald, clashed with railway baron George Stephen, and endured racist taunts while championing the interests of the Prairie West in battles with investment bankers, Ottawa politicians, and the CPR. His contributions to the development of Canada's federal system and his dealings with issues of race and racism deserve attention today. Recounted here by Canadian historian Gerald Friesen, Norquay's life story ignites contemporary conversations around the nature of empire and Canada's own imperial past. Drawing extensively on recently opened letters and financial papers that offer new insights into his business, family, and political life, Friesen reveals Norquay to be a thoughtful statesman and generous patriarch. This masterful biography of the Premier from Red River sheds welcome light on a neglected historical figure and a tumultuous time for Canada and Manitoba. Gerald Friesen taught Canadian history at the University of Manitoba from 1970–2011. He has written several books, including The Canadian Prairies: A History and Citizens and Nation, and is co-author of Immigrants in Prairie Cities. Former president of the Canadian Historical Association, he was an advisor on CBC-Radio Canada's television series Canada: A People's History. He lives in Winnipeg.

Roger Mairlot, a retired car mechanic in his 70s, takes center stage in this episode of Seeing Them Live. Renowned for his passionate dedication to live music, Roger's story has attracted the attention of media giants like Vice News, The Guardian, and CBC Radio Canada. With an astonishing personal record of attending over 725 consecutive gigs and accomplishing the feat of attending six gigs in one night at different venues across London, Roger has become an icon in the city's live music scene. His distinctive ornate military jacket, adorned with badges, has earned him the affectionate name "The Gig Slut" from Debbie Smith of the band Blindness.Reflecting on his early music experiences, Roger shares memories of a Joan Baez concert in the 1960s, marking the beginning of his journey through London's rich music scene. The cultural and social aspects of live performances are explored, emphasizing the intimate connection between the audience and the artists. Roger's passion for live music goes beyond attendance; he meticulously documents gig timings and schedules in "The Book of Bands," showcasing his dedication to discovering new bands and genres.The conversation delves into Roger's connection to the Mod Culture, influenced by bands like The Who and The Kinks, and explores his experiences in London's music scene during the 1970s. Notable bands from that era, including Canned Heat and Queen, are mentioned, while Roger reflects on the changing music landscape in the '70s.Roger's transition to retirement in the early 2000s allowed for greater flexibility in attending gigs, leading to a revival of his interest in live music.
