I spoke to Sean Geobey, associate professor at the University of Waterloo and Director of Groupthink Labs, about collective intelligence, cooperative economics, and what decentralized technology could actually offer the solidarity economy.We dig into how collective intelligence works at scale, from participatory budgeting experiments in Kitchener to the structural barriers that make setting up a cooperative three times harder than incorporating a business. We also get into the limits of GDP as a measure of anything meaningful, why the left's taboo around finance is a form of unilateral disarmament, and how speculative finance has become the shortest-term thinking industry on the planet while performing the same planning function as the old Soviet Politburo. Sean also looks at Bread Cooperative (a worker cooperative I founded) and where the real bottlenecks are for Web3 to serve collective action rather than undermine it.If you liked the podcast be sure to give it a review on your preferred podcast platform.

Send us a note!"The homeless are not Other. They are Us," Ontario's Superior Court declared last month. In a ruling that had advocates cheering, Justice Michael Gibson affirmed that unhoused people are entitled to the same Charter rights as any other Canadian — and that a bylaw targeting a specific encampment for removal had therefore amounted to anti-homeless discrimination.This left Doug Ford fuming. But this isn't about the premier. Not mostly, anyway. It is, as our story explains, about the people who have nowhere else to go.On this episode of Sources, Eric Wickham travelled to Kitchener, Ont., to meet residents of the encampment at the centre of the landmark case, and spoke to Ashley Schuitema and Shannon Down, two of the lawyers who persuaded the court to recognize the dignity of their clients.Support the show

Fresh off leading the Kitchener Rangers to a Memorial Cup championship, Jussi Ahokas joined Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill to reflect on the journey to the top. He discussed the grind of the CHL season, what it takes to win at the highest level, and how his Rangers squad was able to capture junior hockey's ultimate prize.Having coached championship teams at multiple levels, Ahokas shared the common traits every winning team possesses regardless of age group or league. He emphasized the importance of identity, buy-in, chemistry, and culture, while also diving into player development and the value of teaching the small details. Preparation, patience, and steady growth were recurring themes throughout the conversation.The discussion also shifted to the NHL Draft, where Ahokas weighed in on projected No. 1 overall pick Gavin McKenna and Toronto's opportunity to select first overall later this month. He praised McKenna's elite vision and skill set, drawing comparisons to his experience coaching Juraj Slafkovský prior to being selected first overall by Montreal in 2022.Additionally, Ahokas revealed that the Maple Leafs have not contacted him regarding their head coaching vacancy. He opened up about his own career aspirations, admitting that coaching in the NHL remains a long-term goal. With one year remaining on his contract in Kitchener, Ahokas discussed what could be next, including the possibility of pursuing opportunities in the American Hockey League as either a head coach or assistant.

Today’s headline news for Canadian IT solution providers: ConnectWise Platform: ConnectWise yesterday unveiled what it calls the industry’s first purpose-built platform for Predictive IT, unifying PSA, RMM, cybersecurity, automation, workflow orchestration, and native agentic AI into a single execution layer for managed services. CEO Manny Rivelo described it as a fundamental shift from reactive IT management to an AI-native operating model. The company also released new operational benchmark modeling based on a representative MSP with approximately $3M in annual managed services revenue, showing the productivity and economic impact it says AI-driven automation can deliver. Cavelo Cora AI Security Analyst: Kitchener, Ontario-based Cavelo has introduced Cora, an AI Security Analyst integrated into its data security posture management platform and positioned specifically for MSPs and MSSPs. Cavelo says Cora analyzes security telemetry and translates it into a guided remediation action plan in seconds, tailored by role. The tool targets the operational gap between risk visibility and actual remediation – without requiring additional headcount. Radiant Logic and Zscaler Partnership: Radiant Logic and Zscaler have announced a technology partnership aimed at solving the Day 1 access problem in mergers and acquisitions. By integrating RadiantOne’s identity data fabric with the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange, the companies say acquiring organizations can securely connect newly onboarded employees to applications from the moment a deal closes, regardless of disparate identity systems. ConnectSecure Patch 360: ConnectSecure is launching Patch 360, a patch management platform built for MSPs that introduces pilot-first validation, risk-based prioritization using CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities and EPSS scoring, controlled rollouts with approval workflows, and integrated rollback – replacing what the company describes as a “deploy-and-hope” model with a “test-and-trust” framework. NTT DATA and Google Cloud: NTT DATA is expanding its AI partnership with Google Cloud, launching a dedicated Gemini Enterprise practice to help enterprise clients move AI deployments from pilot to production at scale. Descope Agentic Identity Hub: Identity platform Descope is announcing enhancements to its Agentic Identity Hub today, extending its tools for managing authentication and access for autonomous AI agents. Checkmarx CISO Research: Checkmarx has released research surveying more than 2,000 developers and CISOs, finding that 95 percent of CISOs report facing internal pressure to suppress software compliance findings. Read Full Transcript Welcome to The Buzz from ChannelBuzz.ca, I’m Robert Dutt, today is Tuesday, June 9, 2026, and here’s what’s happening in the channel today. ConnectWise yesterday unveiled what it is calling the industry’s first purpose-built platform for the era of Predictive IT. The ConnectWise Platform brings together PSA, RMM, cybersecurity, automation, workflow orchestration, and native agentic AI into what the company describes as a single intelligent execution layer for managed services. CEO Manny Rivelo positioned it as a fundamental shift away from the labor-intensive, disconnected systems that have defined MSP operations for decades, toward what ConnectWise calls an AI-native operating model. To support the launch, the company released new operational benchmark modeling showing the productivity and economic impact it says AI-driven automation can have on MSP operations. In their model, a representative managed services firm with approximately three million dollars in annual revenue could see measurable transformation across their first stages of the Predictive Intelligence journey. This is a significant platform bet from one of the largest players in the MSP tooling market, and the framing around “Predictive IT” is clearly a narrative ConnectWise intends to own. In the security space, Kitchener, Ontario-based Cavelo has introduced Cora, an AI Security Analyst integrated directly into its data security posture management platform. Positioned specifically for MSPs and MSSPs, Cora functions as an AI agent that analyzes security telemetry to identify, prioritize, and recommend remediation steps for cyber risks across client environments. Rather than adding more alerts to the dashboard, Cavelo says the tool translates security data into a guided action plan in seconds, tailored to the specific roles of frontline technicians and senior security leaders. The development targets a well-documented operational gap between risk visibility and remediation – allowing service providers to reduce manual investigation time and offer clients clear, actionable intelligence without increasing headcount. Radiant Logic and Zscaler have formed a strategic partnership designed to address the Day 1 access challenges commonly found in mergers and acquisitions. By integrating RadiantOne’s identity data fabric with the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange, the companies are aiming to eliminate the complex network and identity merge projects that typically stall productivity following a deal close. The joint solution allows acquiring organizations to securely connect newly onboarded employees to necessary applications from day one, regardless of disparate Active Directory or HR systems. In a market where M&A activity among IT service providers shows no sign of slowing, this integration offers a repeatable framework for reducing the downtime and cyber risk associated with bringing acquired entities onto a managed environment – which is a practical and recurring service challenge for many MSPs in the field. In Brief – ConnectSecure launches Patch 360, a patch management platform for MSPs built on pilot-first testing, risk-based vulnerability prioritization, and integrated rollback controls. NTT DATA expands its AI partnership with Google Cloud, launching a dedicated Gemini Enterprise practice to help organizations move deployments from pilot to production scale. Descope is announcing enhancements today to its Agentic Identity Hub, aimed at helping organizations manage access for autonomous AI agents. Checkmarx research of more than 2,000 developers and CISOs finds 95 percent of CISOs report facing pressure to suppress software compliance findings. Full details and links in the show notes or the blog post. Later today on In The Channel, we have a conversation about the launch of the AWS Partner Innovation Hub in Toronto, with AWS Canada’s Martin Brazonet and CGI’s Dinesh Bhavsar on the challenge of moving AI from proof-of-concept to production. And if you haven’t heard it yet, check out our conversation with Earl Gosick from ESTI Consulting Services, recorded at Dell Technologies World, on why the AI story is really a storage story – that one is on the feed now. That’s how we’re seeing the headlines today. I’m Robert Dutt for ChannelBuzz.ca, thanks for listening. Have a great day.

Over the next few months we will discuss a Christian view of various technologies. This episode kicks us off by offering a framework for thinking about technology.To help you follow along, here's a list of the seven laws of technology (pdf link here):These seven laws of technology are less like commands and more like a set of norms which function as a framework for thinking well about technology. If you master these, you will be better equipped to lead others and make disciples in a technological age. They summarize Andrew Noble's approach to technology. 1.      All technology is good and cursed. Because we were created by a Creator to create, and because of the cultural mandate in Genesis 1 & 2, all technology is a good gift from God. And yet, the blessing is mixed with burden; “cursed is the ground” from which all technology is made. All technology has negative side-effects.2.      All technology changes you. The formative effect of technology is often underappreciated. We must recognize that after using any technology we become a different kind of person, as certain vices and virtues are inculcated through habit. Even something like the repeated use of a shovel changes your muscles, your back, and your view of the world (as you are less bothered by snow).   3.      All technology is God's. To riff on a phrase from Abraham Kuyper, there is not a single technology in this world that God cannot point and declare, “Mine!” As the biblical prophets teach, even weapons of war are the Lord's (Jer. 50:25, Isaiah 13:5). God is in control of technology and oversees it with his wisdom.4.     The telos of tech is true, good, and beautiful. Technology has a purpose beyond functionality and efficiency. Technology ultimately must be made to reflect the transcendental characters found perfectly in God: truth, goodness, and beauty. Technology should not be made to be deceptive, immoral, nor ugly.5.      Every human person is a heart-soul-mind-strength complex designed for love. This law was crafted by Andy Crouch, building upon Jesus' summary of the greatest commandment. The great commandment to humans implies what humans were made for. We were made to love with each of the four aspects of what we are. Therefore, we must love with our bodies.6.     Every human person is masked by machinery. One of the first inventions of Adam and Eve was clothing, made to cover up their shame. Technology has a concealing effect; whether through tinted windows, headphones, or social media beauty filters, technology not only extends what we can do but displaces how we appear.7.     Every human person must consider, critique, and create technology. We must reflect on technology, including how it is designed and how it shapes us (its affordances), to properly use it. And we must all build. For we were not made to merely consume creation but to cultivate it for the good of others.In 2026, our Thinking About It podcast will focus on the most important aspects of living like a Christian. We hope you'll listen along and become more like Jesus.Each episode is produced at Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario.

This week on Open Sources Guelph we get into some trouble, but not the kind that bars you from campus. The strange doings of YouTube pranksters and influencers is one of the topics this week, and so is the reaction to the latest court decision about encampments and their legality. For the interview, we will talk to a transit advocate about a piece of provincial legislation that you might have missed in the news. This Thursday, May 28, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Cockamamie, Notwithstanding. Last week, an Ontario court said again that the Region of Waterloo can't evict an encampment of unhoused people from the site of a proposed transit hub in Kitchener. To say that Premier Doug Ford was apoplectic about the decision is something of an understatement, and that he's open to using the notwithstanding clause to make the eviction happen, but are we really just this devoid of ideas about how to help the homeless? Off Campus. Last fall, a YouTube prankster came to campus at Ontario Tech, crashed a lecture and made some curry on a portable hotplate before starting a food fight. Probably not a great time for anyone in that classroom, and it wasn't the first time Fique Ayub Fique made a nuisance of himself at Ontario Tech. Now the university is threatening to sue him for damages, but is that the right response to this kind of disruption, and what is the impact on the openness of campus life for everyone else? 98 of the Furious. Have you heard about Ontario's Bill 98, the Building Homes and Improving Transportation Infrastructure Act? The main point was to find new ways to accelerate housing construction, but buried in the act were some incredible new powers for the Ontario government to hold over regional and municipal transit agencies. We will be joined by August Pantitlán Puranauth from TTC Riders to talk about why we should all be concerned about what Bill 98 is cooking up for transit users in Ontario. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

A tribunal found that nothing corrupted the Ontario Liberals' controversial nomination meeting in Scarborough Southwest. Hosts Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath discuss why Nathaniel Erskine-Smith's allegations were rejected, and what comes next. They also look at emerging advocacy to change the party's voting rules, as well as new names that have entered the Ontario Liberal leadership race. Plus, Ontario finally passes a new law regulating the inappropriate behavior of municipal politicians. Advocates say it's a first step, but the threshold for disciplinary action raises eyebrows. Will the law actually help? Then, Doug Ford lashed out at another judge's decision this week. A judge decided it was a Charter violation for Waterloo to clear an encampment that allegedly stands in the way of transit development. Were Doug Ford's comments out of line? Some legal academics believe Ford's statements threaten the independence of Canadian Courts. Finally, in "Your Column, My Column," JMM looks at whether new rules around grocery store leases could bring grocery prices down. And Steve pays tribute to one of Toronto's original political mavericks, Howard Moscoe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In early 1970, a quartet from Winnipeg released an album that would become an all-time rock classic. It raced up the charts in both Canada and the U.S., and was so successful that it earned the band an invitation to perform at the White House. Ironically, the inspiration for the title track came from an unpleasant encounter with American border authorities. To welcome the Guess Who back to Montreal, Randy Renaud has the story behind the great album American Woman on the Chronicles of Rock.

Serving others can bring great joy. It can also come about with guilt. And for some, the problem is less the desire to serve others and more the fear of being needy. In the church we serve and we are served. But serving happens in all of life, as we discuss on this episode. Mark 10:45 — "For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."In 2026, our Thinking About It podcast will focus on the most important aspects of living like a Christian.

We should make disciples of all the nations. But how? What should we say? Does it matter if we say anything?

Without an album to tour for, 2005 was an adventurous year for Pearl Jam taking them to places they'd never been before, and some they haven't been to since. It was their first time venturing coast to coast to tour the entirety of Canada and the first visit and experience down to South America playing for some of their most passionate fans. This week's episode in the Chronology takes us to Kitchener, one of the small towns in Canada that was only played on this tour. There is something special about when Pearl Jam plays a smaller city and venue, they feel very comfortable playing for these crowds in a more intimate setting. As Ed would mention in this show, it felt like playing in a small bar. So when the crowd is invested in that kind of environment, you feel the power of every voice in that arena. Songs like Animal, Jeremy, Even Flow and Small Town make this crowd feel like there's 50,000 in the room instead of 7,000. We'll also talk about a red hot start to this show, more political discourse at the time that can be relatable today, and a conversation about a cult classic movie from the era.

fWotD Episode 3208: Brass threepence Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 15 February 2026, is Brass threepence.The brass threepence, or "threepenny bit", is a twelve-sided British coin equivalent to 1⁄80 of a pound. Struck between 1937 and 1967, with a final issue for collectors dated 1970, it was the first British coin that was not round.By the mid-1930s, the heavy weight of the bronze penny and its fractions had become an issue for firms, such as transport companies, that dealt with them in bulk. The silver threepence was unpopular in England due to its small size. The Royal Mint decided on a brass twelve-sided coin readily distinguishable from other coins due to its size, shape and colour. The initial reverse design, by Frances Madge Kitchener of a thrift plant, was altered at the direction of the Royal Mint by Percy Metcalfe without Kitchener's knowledge, but threatened legal action by her was settled with a joint statement to the press.The new coin was slow to circulate when released to the public in 1937, but eventually gained the public's liking, so much so that the silver threepence was discontinued in 1945. A new design, with a crowned portcullis, was instituted for Elizabeth II's initial coinage in 1953. The coin continued in commerce until the decimalisation of the pound in 1971, after which it rapidly vanished from circulation and lost its status as legal tender after 31 August 1971.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:32 UTC on Sunday, 15 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Brass threepence on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Ruth.

This episode, we travel to Sudan in the 1890s where a naïve reporter learns a thing or two from his more experienced rivals in ‘The Three Correspondents', first published in 1896. You can read the story here. The show notes will be available at https://bit.ly/DOD71sn (for all shownotes, just replace ‘71' with the episode number in question). The episode will shortly be posted to our Youtube channel: www.youtube.com/@doingsofdoyle. Please like and subscribe. Synopsis During the opening stages of General Sir Herbert Kitchener's reconquest of the Sudan in the 1890s, a trio of British correspondents has become detached from the main body of Kitchener's force. The group prepare to bed down for the night in a palm grove when they encounter a lone British railway engineer in a heightened state of agitation. Naturally, they scent a story in the air. Shortly afterwards, they encounter the engineer again. Shots ring out, accompanied by a small party of Mahdist warriors. The correspondents are armed but nevertheless this is real danger. It is also copy, and what is danger when each man here owes a level of duty to his editor and, of course, his readers… Next time on Doings of Doyle… We return to Feldkirch for ‘A Pastoral Horror' (1890). You can read the story here. Acknowledgements Thanks to our sponsor, Belanger Books (www.belangerbooks.com), and our supporters on Patreon and Paypal.

Glenn McCaig of Perry's Corners Farm returns to the Grazing Grass Podcast to talk through livestock systems that stay practical when you stop trying to perfect everything.
