We are living through a world-rattling ecological inflection point, with an unprecedented consensus that capitalism is leading humanity into a social and ecological catastrophe and that everything needs to change, and fast. Thankfully, radical environmental movements have forced the question of “system change” to the centre of the political agenda to make way for a just and livable world. Insurgent Ecologies: Between Environmental Struggles and Postcapitalist Transformations takes readers on an inspiring journey across key sites of ecological crisis and contestation, showing how revolutionary politics can emerge from the convergences between place-based, often disconnected struggles. These engaging essays speak to longstanding debates in political ecology around how to advance transformations in, against and beyond capitalism. The collection starts from the belief that the environmental struggles taking place across the Global South and North are a necessary component of such transformations. The book presents unique stories of the visions and strategies of struggles organized around sovereignty, land, climate, feminisms and labour, written by scholar-activists rooted in territories around the globe, offering locally grounded yet global perspectives. Each story reflects on how to build solidarity and comradeship across diverse struggles and how new political subjects and transformative collective projects for social-ecological justice are created.

John Craven Jones Cette capsule porte sur John Craven Jones, le premier premier enseignant de race noire de Salt Spring. Originaire de la Caroline du Nord, John Craven Jones a obtenu son diplôme d'Oberlin College en 1856, avant d'immigrer en Colombie-Britannique. En 1861, John a commencé à enseigner dans une école de Central (alors appelée Vesuvius). Il se rendait régulièrement dans une petite école à Fernwood pour enseigner également. Ces déplacements étaient souvent périlleux; le terrain étant sauvage et fréquemment traversé par des couguars. John n'enseignait pas uniquement aux enfants noirs de Salt Spring Island, mais à un groupe d'élèves multiculturel, composé d'enfants blancs et autochtones. Il a enseigné pendant plus de huit ans sans être rémunéré. Ce n'est qu'en 1869, avec l'instauration du financement public obligatoire pour l'éducation, que John a commencé à recevoir un salaire. En 1882, John Craven Jones est retourné en Ohio, où il a épousé Almira Scott et eut trois enfants. De retour en Caroline du Nord, John a continué à enseigner pendant 20 ans avant de prendre sa retraite. Il est mort le 17 décembre 1911, laissant derrière lui un héritage de connaissance, de compassion, d'amour, de respect et de paix. Par: Claire Liu
Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Susannah Mars, daughter of actor and comedian Kenneth Mars. Of course you know Kenneth Mars from his many film roles including Young Frankenstein, What's Up Doc, The Producers, Radio Days & The Parallex View and many more classic films. What you may not know and we learn from talking to Susannah was that her grandfather was a comic and radio personality named Sonny Mars who released one very tidy LP & that later in life, her father became known for voice over work in tons of animated movies and shows, none bigger than that as King Trident in Disney's The Little Mermaid. Susannah also lets us in on what it was like growing up with her cerebral but wacky father. We hear about his lunches with fellow actors and comedians like The Partridge Family's Dave Madden which then somehow led us to reach out to another guest, Denise Gaultier after hearing about her father's somewhat ribald drawings he made for Susannah at those lunches. We also hear about Susannah's singing career, her documentary film, Mourning Has Broken & how she starred in an ABC after school special with Kristy McNichol & so much more. There is so much love and respect and genuine familial memories about growing up with a father it's hard not to empathize with her years after his passing. He made funny voices, she got to watch her dad on stage in St. louis at the Muny Theater and how the cult comedy show Fernwood 2 Night still connects with her & her dads fans. Please take a listen to the latest episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast and enjoy our chat with Susannah Mars. Everyone has a story.
The Not Ready for Prime Time Podcast: The Early Years of SNL
How does Saturday Night Live follow up The Rolling Stones as host? With Muhammad Ali, of course. And when that doesn't pan out and they go with... Fred Willard! Fresh from his acclaimed run on Fernwood 2 Night and America 2-Night, Willard brings his unique comic energy to an episode that has many recurring characters (including the return of Mr. Bill) as well as a second half that takes some truly unexpected turns.And speaking of following tough acts, Devo is the musical guest and boldly covers "Satisfaction" - transforming the Stones' classic into something entirely their own (and possibly sounding better than the band last week).This is easily one of the most interesting SNL episodes of the era and was definitely one of the most fun to talk about.

You've found what appears to be a great property, and you just received the inspection report. It listed many defects, most of which are typical, and the cost to correct them is well-defined. However, a few items are disconcerting because the report listed symptoms rather than specific defects, such as mold, Kitec plumbing, China drywall, aluminum wiring, roof leaks, settlement, etc. These ill-defined problems are red flags because remediating them is not “fixed.” For example, suppose mold was detected. What would it cost to correct the mold? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Over the past 16 years, I've worked with nearly 200 first-time investors. From my experience, until they go through our training, most are completely focused on ROI and cash flow. Here are some key points new investors must keep in mind: You're not buying real estate—you're buying a lifelong income stream. Vacancy costs can be a killer, so estimating them is critical. ROI and cash flow only predict a property's performance under ideal conditions on the first day of a lifetime hold. They tell nothing about future performance. They say “you can only count on today”—Is it true? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Success in real estate does not require securing “great deals.” It requires great fundamentals: location, a reliable tenant segment, and properties that attract those tenants. A Personal Case Study Let me share my own experience. In 2016, my partner and I bought a three-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-story townhome. We paid the asking price of $180,000, which was then the fair market value. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Since 2006, my team and I have delivered almost 500 Las Vegas investment properties (> $130 million). The properties had an annual appreciation of 15% and annual rent growth of 7% (2013 through December 2023), and our average vacancy rate stayed below 2%, including during two major economic turmoils: 2008 housing crash: Zero decline in rent and zero vacancies. COVID pandemic eviction moratorium: No impact. So why did our clients' properties perform when most others did not? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In 2005, I decided to start an investor services business. I reviewed all the popular investing literature. What I found were self-professed experts offering opinions and no processes. As an engineer, opinions hold little value. I shifted my research focus to the commercial sector, where I found rigorous processes that resonated with me. I discovered that retail store location selection and stocking methodologies are excellent guides to systematic residential investing. Here, I will explain how I use methodologies from national retailers to select properties that generate reliable income. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The notion that investing in multifamily is always better than investing in single-family is false. The goal of real estate investing isn't to own a particular type of property but to secure a reliable income. The reliability of this income doesn't depend on the property type but on the tenant who occupies the property. To show you what I mean, I will compare the financial performance of a typical fourplex in Las Vegas to the kinds of properties we've targeted over 16 years. Learn more about your ad choices.

The location (city) where you invest is your most important investment decision, not the properties themselves. Why? The goal of real estate investing is financial independence. But financial independence isn't just replacing your current income. It's about having the necessary funds to maintain your present lifestyle throughout your lifetime.

I often hear new investors ask: “What types of properties are the best? “What should I look for when evaluating rental properties?” They are starting at the wrong point. As with any major venture, real estate investing starts with clarifying your goal. And every investment decision you make must align with your goals. Learn more about your ad choices.

Goals provide us with direction and purpose, acting as the foundation for every significant endeavor. Your goals should be written down, but they don't need to be lengthy or complex. How to Get Started You can start with just the following items: Current situation: What is your current or anticipated financial capacity within a reasonable time frame? Get preapproved for an investor loan to determine your accessible credit limit. Financial end goal: Typically, this refers to an income goal, like earning $10,000 a month in today's dollars. Time frame: The less time you have to reach your goal, the more initial capital and credit you will require. However, goals by themselves are not enough. Goals without an action plan are merely daydreams. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
I've encountered the question “Should I buy or hold?” on several websites for several years. All I have seen are opinions such as “only hold a property for X years.” Here, I propose a simple process for deciding whether to sell or hold. First, what should you base your decision on? That's simple: your investment goal. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In 2004, I was living in NYC when I decided to start a new career. To identify potential business opportunities, I thought about some of the more frustrating experiences I'd had. I quickly narrowed the list to buying investment properties. The problem was that all real estate agents could do was send me MLS data sheets for the properties I selected; no analytics, processes, or services. I had to do everything myself. This was time-consuming, and I made frustrating mistakes that cost me time and money to correct later. So, there was a business opportunity. Now, I need to know where to create this business (not New York or New Jersey). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Low-cost properties are appealing because you can acquire and generate income with less initial capital. However, they are actually the most expensive way to achieve and maintain financial freedom. Here's why. What Determines Prices and Rents? Real estate prices and rents are driven by supply and demand. When the number of sellers equals or exceeds the number of buyers consistently, property prices remain low. If prices do increase, the rise will be gradual. Furthermore, when prices are low, more people can afford to buy, leading to fewer renters. This results in stagnant or slowly increasing rents. Learn more about your ad choices.

Meet one of our personal favorites this week -- the great Fred Willard. A consummate improv, sketch, and film comedian, Fred got his start in a New York comedy duo, but it was after he spent time at Second City (alongside the likes of Robert Klein and Peter Boyle) that his career blossomed. From helping found the influential Ace Trucking Company comedy troupe, to Norman Lear's Fernwood 2 Night, to a long run as part of Christopher Guest's improv repertory company, Fred was a reliable and welcome addition to any comedy project. Find more clips below and, as always, thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Willard? Fred had a great long run as part of Christopher Guest's repertory company, winning an American Comedy Award for his work in Best of Show. But our favorite is this short bit in This is Spinal Tap, where Fred plays the consummate military guy trying to be hip as he meets the band. https://youtu.be/IpTNoq2np_4 Fred was always at his best in a group. His ability to play off people, honed by years at the Second City, let him make any scene funnier. As part of the Ace Trucking Company comedy troupe Fred was a frequent guest on Johnny Carson's Tonight show. Here's one of their bits from 1974. https://youtu.be/c4wL0BM1IQc Fred had a gift for playing characters who were confidently clueless, none better than his portrayal of hack tv talk show sidekick Jerry Hubbard (to Martin Mull's smarmy Barth Gimble) on Norman Lear's "Fernwood 2 Night". Here is Fred with some prime inane banter! https://youtu.be/RJsNr0GqXMk
Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to Susannah Mars, daughter of the amazing actor/comedian Kenneth Mars. We spoke to Susannah about growing up with the man who portrayed the outrageous Nazi playwright Franz Liebkind in The Producers as well as Inspector Kemp in Young Frankenstein. Of course that means we talk about Mel Brooks but it also means we talk about everything from Chicago radio/TV personality Sonny Mars who was Kenneth's step father, additional Mars films like The Parallax View & What's Up, Doc? & hanging out with dad's friends Dick Gautier (Hymie from Get Smart) and Dave Madden of The Partridge Family. Susannah also talks to us about her own career as a performer, actress and her upcoming documentary “Mourning Has Broken”, her father's amazing accents which may or may not be used In LA restaurants, his penchant for elaborate gags at lunch as well as his stage career which frankly we knew too little about. It was wonderful talking to Susannah because not only did she have some great tales about being on the set of Young Frankenstein and being in the seats at The Muny in St; Louis, but she regales us with stories about appearing in an ABC After School Special with Kristy McNichol, her small role in the Jodie Foster version of Freaky Friday and her obvious bond she and her dad shared. She really brings his wild but loving personality to life in our interview. So if the cult TV show Fernwood 2 Night, meeting Lucille Ball on the Universal lot or The Playboy Club circuit mean anything to you, you should take a listen to this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast.

In the brilliant Fight to Win: Inside Poor People's Organizing (Fernwood Publishing, 2021), author AJ Withers draws on their own experience as an organizer, on interviews with the people with whom OCAP campaigned and with City bureaucrats alike, and on Freedom of Information requests to map the ‘social relations of struggle' that contour poor people's organizing in Toronto across a number of campaigns. Offering incisive interventions into theories of the state and bureaucracies, and detailing the work of poor people struggling for epistemic and material justice, Withers' book is a must-read for those who are interested in what it takes to fight to win. Phil Henderson is a SSHRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Carleton University's Institute of Political Economy where his research interests focus on the interrelations between Indigenous land/water defenders and organized labour in what's presently known as Canada.

Canadians are proud of their multicultural image both at home and abroad. But that image isn t grounded in historical facts. As recently as the 1960s, the Canadian government enforced discriminatory, anti-Black immigration policies, designed to restrict and prohibit the entry of Black Barbadians and Black West Indians. The Canadian state capitalized on the public s fear of the Black unknown and racist stereotypes to justify their exclusion. In Flying Fish in the Great White North: The Autonomous Migration of Black Barbadians (Fernwood, 2016), Christopher Stuart Taylor utilizes the intersectionality of race, gender and class to challenge the perception that Blacks were simply victims of racist and discriminatory Canadian and international, immigration policies by emphasizing the agency and educational capital of Black Barbadian emigrants during this period. In fact, many Barbadians were middle to upper class and were well educated, and many, particularly women, found autonomous agency and challenged the very Canadian immigration policies designed to exclude them.

Many Canadians think of their country as a paragon of liberal democratic values at home, and a moderating force on the world stage—not so, argues the compelling new edited collection from Fernwood Publishing, Capitalism and Dispossession: Corporate Canada at Home and Abroad. In this conversation with co-editors, Dr. David P Thomas and Dr. Veldon Coburn, we discuss the book's numerous case studies of how the Canadian state, and the corporate actors to which it delegates authority, are central actors within a system of global capitalism that is premised on processes of accumulation by dispossession in order to reproduce itself.
