Eurostat, institutul european de statistică, are bunul obicei de a publica de două ori pe an un tablou de bord al Uniunii Europene. În el sunt incluse datele bugetare, de PIB și datorie publică ale fiecărui stat membru. În felul acesta publicul larg poate face o comparație între țările Uniunii Europene, poate să observe evoluția în timp, pentru că datele se referă la ultimii patru ani, și poate vedea țările care respectă standardele financiare și câte sunt în afara lor. Să le luăm pe rând și să începem cu deficitul bugetar, cel mai sintetic indicator al finanțelor publice. România este de departe campioana europeană la deficit, cu un nivel de 9,3% din PIB. Din păcate, este un titlu nu doar lipsit de glorie, ci de-a dreptul rușinos. Pe locurile următoare, de asemenea, nedorite, se află Polonia, 6,5%, și Franța, 5,8% din PIB. Se poate face și un clasament al statelor membre aflate la polul opus, cu excedent bugetar și deci cu o bună sănătate a finanțelor publice. Pe primele locuri la excedent sunt Danemarca, 4,5%, Cipru, 4,1% și Irlanda, 4% din PIB. De subliniat este că Grecia a încheiat anul trecut cu excedent bugetar, 1,2% din PIB, o performanță demnă de remarcat după anii mulți și dificili în care Grecia înregistra cel mai ridicat nivel al deficitului din Uniunea Europeană. În total, 12 state membre au avut anul trecut un deficit bugetar mai mare de 3% din PIB, standardul european pentru acest indicator. În ceea ce privește nivelul datoriei publice avem și aici ierarhii europene. Cele mai mari datorii le înregistrau anul trecut Grecia – 154%, Italia – 134% și Franța 113% din PIB. La polul opus, se aflau Estonia și Bulgaria, cu 23% și Luxemburg, cu 26% din PIB. Tot 12 state, ca și în cazul deficitului, au depășit limita de 60% din PIB considerată optimă în Uniunea Europeană. România se află sub limită, la aproape 55% din PIB, un nivel rezonabil dacă luăm în calcul că media Uniunii Europene era anul trecut de 80% din PIB, iar cea a zonei euro de 87% din PIB. Statistica europeană prezintă și datele referitoare la nivelul veniturilor și, respectiv, cheltuielilor bugetare ca procentaj din PIB. Cei doi indicatori arată, pe de o parte, eficiența colectării fondurilor la buget și, pe altă parte, indică gradul de responsabilitate al guvernelor în sensul construirii unui buget echilibrat, în concordanță cu nivelul veniturilor. Statele cu cele mai reduse încasări bugetare, în termeni procentuali, sunt Irlanda, 26%, România și Malta, 34% din PIB. Țările din Uniunea Europeană cu cele mari venituri bugetare sunt Finlanda, 53,4%, Danemarca, 51,8%, Franța, 51,4% și Austria, 50,5%. Interesant este că trei din patru state cu cele mai mari încasări bugetare procentuale (Finlanda, Franța și Austria) au și deficite care depășesc 3% din PIB, ceea ce arată că nu este obligatoriu ca țările cu încasări solide, peste media europeană (de 46%), să aibă și un comportament fiscal echilibrat. Veniturile bugetare mari nu garantează și un deficit redus, pentru că în ecuație intră și cheltuielile. În ceea ce privește cheltuielile, statele europene cu cel mai redus nivel sunt Irlanda 22%, Malta 37% și Cipru, 38%. Irlanda este un caz special la nivelul UE și o arată și cifrele bugetare, iar Malta în pofida nivelului redus de cheltuieli a avut anul trecut un deficit care a depășit 3% din PIB. Tot pentru comparație să spunem și statele care au reușit în perioada 2021-2024 scăderi importante ale deficitului bugetar, tocmai pentru a arăta că se poate. Este vorba despre Cehia, scădere de la 5% la 2%, Irlanda, de la minus 1,3% la plus 4%, Grecia de la deficit de 7,2% la excedent de 1,2%, Spania de la minus 6,7% la minus 3,2% sau Italia de la deficit de 8,9% la 3,4%. Să remarcăm și contraperformanța Poloniei care de la un deficit de 1,7% a ajuns la minus 6,5%. Tabloul de bord european este util, pentru că arată că unele state pot progresa vizibil, iar altele pot să aibă evoluții financiare dezastruoase.

De strijd is heropend! Amazon investeert 1,4 miljard euro in de Nederlandse markt. Want het marktaandeel moet omhoog. Vijf jaar geleden kwam Amazon naar Nederland met de gedachte de bestaande spelers eruit te concurreren. Maar Coolblue en Bol.com bleken toch wat hardnekkiger. Gaat het ze met deze nieuwe zak geld dan wel lukken? En wat betekent die investering voor Bol.com-moeder Ahold? Dat zoeken we in deze aflevering uit. Je hoort ook over Basic-Fit. Dat gaat flink uitbreiden. Het neemt een Duitse concurrent over, en koopt zichzelf daarmee aanwezigheid in 6 nieuwe landen. En het krijgt er nog iets bij: de titel van grootste fitnessfranchise van Europa. Verder proberen we te achterhalen wat Bernard Arnault van plan is. Hij besteedt op zijn beurt ook 1,4 miljard euro in zijn eigen bedrijf. Hij kocht sinds februari flink aandelen LVMH in, en krijgt daarmee een stuk meer zeggenschap over het bedrijf. En we vertellen je over de brief van het Tesla-bestuur aan hun aandeelhouders. Dat bestuur maakt zich klaar voor een aandeelhoudersvergadering volgende week, waar veel mensen naar uitkijken. Hét discussiepunt: moet topman Elon Musk een bonus van 1 biljoen dollar beloofd worden? De bestuursvoorzitter adviseert beleggers alvast om daar wél mee in te stemmen.

So wie Michael Schumacher Formel 1 gefahren ist, so wie Franz Beckenbauer Fußball gespielt hat: Genau so kocht er, sagen Restaurantkritiker. Christian Bau. Der einzige Koch in Deutschland, der seit 20 Jahren durchgehend mit 3 Michelin-Sternen ausgezeichnet ist. Bundesverdienstkreuz. Japanese Cuisine Goodwill Ambassador. Er hat mehr Awards gewonnen als jeder andere. Sein Geheimrezept: Bau hoch 2. Denn er steht mit seiner Ehefrau am Herd: Sarah Bau. Eine absolute Game-Changerin. Denn bis heute gibt es kaum Frauen im Sterne-Business. Die beiden: Sie sind das einzige 3-Sterne-Michelin Ehepaar der Welt. Ich habe sie jetzt in ihrem Restaurant besucht: „Victor's Fine Dining“ im Schloss Berg in Perl, einem echten Schloss aus dem 16. Jahrhundert. Mitten im Dreiländer-Eck Deutschland, Luxemburg, Frankreich. Was du in dieser Folge lernst: Was kompromisslose Qualität wirklich bedeutet! Eine Masterclass über Disziplin und Transformation im High-End-Segment. Was mich am meisten beeindruckt? Dass hier einer Luxus definiert, der selbst aus ärmsten Verhältnissen kommt. Der als Kind nicht mal mit auf Klassenfahrt konnte, weil seine Familie kein Geld hatte. Und heute? Da kocht er für Bundespräsidenten, für Kanzler, für Superstars. Einer der selbst nichts hatte, schenkt der Welt das Schönste und Beste und Leckerste, was es gibt. Jetzt in TOMorrow. Und als TOMorrow-Videopodcast auf YouTube.

Een nieuwe week vol royale reuring: Odilia en Rick duiken in de Andrew Gate — want de hertog van York blijft in opspraak, zelfs nu hij zijn titels “vrijwillig” laat rusten. Hoe zit dat juridisch, en waarom kan koning Charles hem niet zomaar alles afpakken? Ondertussen komt de Britse vorst met Camilla in het Vaticaan oog in oog met de paus, terwijl in België de Italiaanse president langskomt — en prins Laurent weer voor opschudding zorgt. Verder over prinses Märtha Louise die afscheid neemt van haar familiehuis in Noorwegen, Eloise en Claus Casimir op stap in Amsterdam, en babynieuws uit Luxemburg.

In this dynamic episode of The Food Professor Podcast, presented by Caddle, co-hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois dive into the latest headlines shaping Canada's food and beverage sector before welcoming Kiran Mann, CEO of Brar's, one of North America's fastest-growing South Asian food manufacturers.The episode opens with a timely look at the hospitality boost from the Toronto Blue Jays' World Series run, a much-needed economic shot in the arm for restaurants and bars coast-to-coast. From there, Sylvain unpacks fresh Canadian inflation data, connecting global trade policy, tariffs, and drought-driven beef shortages to continued food-price volatility. He explains why Canadian beef prices will likely remain high until mid-2027, and how regional differences—from Saskatchewan's 5.5 percent food inflation to Ontario's 3.5 percent—highlight a widening national divide. The conversation also tackles layoffs at Molson Coors and Nestlé, changing consumer habits amid the Ozempic effect, and why Big CPG must reinvent itself as Canadians buy more locally produced goods. The duo rounds out the news rundown with an update on Agropur's cottage-cheese lockout and a surprising salmonella outbreak in dog treats, underscoring the need for better pet-food safety oversight.Then, Michael and Sylvain welcome Kiran Mann, an inspirational immigrant entrepreneur and visionary leader steering Brar's from family-run origins to a national and expanding international powerhouse. Mann shares her remarkable journey—from her roots in Amritsar, India, to leading a modern Canadian company that connects authentic Indian flavours with contemporary manufacturing innovation. She explains Brar's evolution across three categories—dairy, snacks, and sweets—including its beloved samosas, signature paneer, and pure-vegetarian veggie burgers.Mann introduces her proprietary “Harmonic System”—a leadership and operational philosophy grounded in balance, authenticity, and purpose. Her approach integrates people, process, and passion, ensuring that growth doesn't outpace culture or quality. The discussion explores how Brar's sustains traditional recipes while using food science to extend shelf life naturally, create sustainable packaging, and meet the needs of health-conscious, multicultural consumers. Looking ahead, Mann outlines her strategy of “depth and impact,” combining Canadian multiculturalism, sustainable supply chains, and bold U.S. expansion to make Brar's a global ambassador of modern Indian cuisine made in Canada.

Apple heeft tijdens een rechtszaak tegen de Europese Commissie opnieuw benadrukt dat de Digital Markets Act (DMA) te streng is en niet op het bedrijf van toepassing zou moeten zijn. In de rechtszaal in Luxemburg van het Hof van Justitie van de Europese Unie zei advocaat Daniel Beard van Apple dinsdag dat de DMA 'enorm zware en opdringere lasten' oplegt. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. De DMA is sinds 2023 van kracht in de Europese Unie en heeft een aantal grote techbedrijven, waaronder Apple, bestempeld als 'poortwachter'. Een bedrijf is poortwachter als het een grote digitale markt in handen heeft waarvan andere bedrijven afhankelijk zijn om te kunnen concurreren met elkaar. Voor Apple gaat het bijvoorbeeld om de iPhone, waar draadloze oortjes van andere merken net zo makkelijk mee moeten kunnen koppelen als Apples AirPods, en de App Store, waarnaast ook alternatieve appwinkels moeten bestaan voor iPhone-apps. Apple houdt zich al (gedeeltelijk) aan de Digital Markets Act, maar blijft volhouden dat de regels veel te streng zijn. Zo wijst het bedrijf naar de moegaboete van 500 miljoen euro die het eerder dit jaar kreeg omdat app-ontwikkelaars niet naar aanbiedingen buiten de App Store mochten verwijzen. Het bedrag zou volgens Apple buitenproportioneel hoog zijn en bovendien zou de Europese Commissie veel meer van Apple eisen dan kan onder de DMA.

Wie lässt sich die Ukraine weiter militärisch unterstützen? Das wird auch beim heutigen Treffen der EU-Außenminister in Luxemburg eine entscheidende Frage sein. Sie stellt sich umso dringlicher, seit die USA ihre Unterstützung eingeschränkt und an Forderungen geknüpft haben. Doch drehen wir die Frage einmal um: Woher stammt der scheinbar unerschöpfliche Waffennachschub in Russland? Die Antwort des Osteuropa-Experten Manfred Sapper ist so einfach wie erstaunlich: Größtenteils aus Russland selbst, betont er. Nicht nur die Rüstungsindustrie, die gesamte russische Volkswirtschaft sei "viel leistungsfähiger als wir neigen wahrzunehmen". Wie das kommt und warum selbst Isolation und Sanktionen daran wenig ändern, erklärt der Chefredakteur der Zeitschrift "Osteuropa" im Gespräch mit SWR Aktuell-Moderator Alfred Schmit.

In this episode of The Food Professor Podcast, presented by Caddle, co-hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois open with a wide-ranging conversation on global trade tensions, the state of Canadian agriculture, and the latest policy moves shaping our food economy — before turning to the fascinating story of Stephen Mitchell, President of Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery, Ontario's only beachfront winery on the Lake Erie North Shore.Michael and Sylvain begin by unpacking the economic aftershocks of U.S. tariff wars, as soybean farmers in America face devastating losses and look for government bailouts amid shifting Chinese trade alliances. Sylvain, speaking from Purdue University in Indiana, shares first-hand insights from conversations with American farmers reeling from collapsed exports and rising equipment costs. The hosts then pivot to the EV tariff dispute between Canada, China, and the U.S., discussing whether Ottawa should drop tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles to save Canadian canola farmers — a debate intensified by security concerns and diplomatic pressures. They also explore evolving Canada–India trade relations, the potential of government-run grocery stores, and Canada's climb to #7 in the Global Agri-Food Most Influential Nations report released on World Food Day, produced in partnership with MNP.Then, Michael introduces Stephen Mitchell for a compelling look at the business of craft wine in Ontario. Stephen recounts the family story behind Sprucewood Shores — from his father's dream of returning to his farming roots to the hands-on creation of a 52-acre lakeside vineyard and winery. He describes how the business evolved from a weekend “hobby farm” into a major local producer, now recognized for its Beach Glass Series, Classic Series, and signature Warm & Cozy mulled wine, distributed through the LCBO and beyond. Stephen details how the winery balances tradition with innovation — focusing on approachability, sustainability, and product diversification — while investing to capture new market momentum as Ontario's wine industry gains visibility and political support. He also shares marketing lessons learned through social media, tastings, and direct-to-consumer engagement, underscoring that success in wine is about constant connection and storytelling.Link Global Agri-Food Most Influential Nations interactive site and report released on World Food Day, produced in partnership with MNPhttps://www.mnp.ca/en/clients/food-and-beverage-processing/momentum-is-building-canadas-rise-in-global-agri-food#reportLink to Whole Foods trends report 2026https://www.freshfruitportal.com/news/2025/10/13/whole-foods-trends-2026/.  The Food Professor #podcast is presented by Caddle.

Welche Erkenntnisse haben die die Siege der Nationalmannschaft gegen Luxemburg und Nordirland gebracht? Und wer sind die Gewinner der vergangenen Tage?

Die deutsche Nationalmannschaft hat in der WM-Quali einen 4:0-Sieg gegen Luxemburg gefeiert und besiegte Nordirland in Belfast mit 1:0. Damit kommt das Team von Julian Nagelsmann der Qualifikation für die Weltmeisterschaft im nächsten Jahr deutlich näher. Im Spiel gegen Nordirland feiert Woltemade seinen Premieren-Treffer im Nationaldress, auch Baumann glänzt mit starken Paraden und hält den Sieg für Deutschland fest. Gemeinsam mit Marcel Reif schauen wir auf die DFB-Spiele.

DEUTSCHLAND holt sechs Punkte gegen NORDIRLAND und LUXEMBURG! Doch der Weg dahin war steinig. Wie sind die Leistungen der DEUTSCHEN NATIONALMANNSCHAFT einzuschätzen? Darüber berät unsere Bohndesliga-Experten-Crew, bestehend aus Etienne und Tobi. Sie haben sich direkt nach dem Nordirland-Spiel zusammengesetzt und beantworten die wichtigsten Fragen zur DFB-ELF. Zum Beispiel: Warum tut sich das deutsche Team so schwer, sobald der Gegner etwas härter zur Sache geht? Wieso blieb Florian Wirtz in beiden Spielen weitestgehend unsichtbar? Und ist die Entscheidung von Bundestrainer Julian Nagelsmann, JOSHUA KIMMICH als Rechtsverteidiger aufzustellen, endgültig? Zum Schluss stellen wir noch die Frage, die Deutschland aufwühlt: Sollte Manuel Neuer ein Comeback in der DFB-Elf wagen? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Zwei Pflichtsiege, ja. Aber nach Belfast gibt es mehr Fragen als Antworten, die Nationalmannschaft hat immer noch viele Baustellen. Ewald guckt da mal hin, gewohnt kritisch, aber es gibt trotzdem auch was zu Lachen... viel Spaß!

Fußball-Deutschland wartet auf ein Stürmer-Tor! Auch beim Sieg gegen Luxemburg konnte kein klassischer Neuner für das DFB-Team einen Treffer erzielen. War am Ende beim 4:0 egal, würde Bundestrainer Julian Nagelsmann für die langfristige Perspektive aber wohl erfreuen. Der BVB bangt dagegen um Serhou Guirassy, der von der Nationalmannschaft abgereist ist und dessen Einsatz gegen die Bayern nicht sicher ist. _Betonter Text_- [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stammplatz.pod/) - Stammplatz-Handy: 015165587282 - E-Mail: stammplatz@bild.de - Adresse: Stammplatz, André Albers, Kilian Gaffrey und Niklas Heising, Axel-Springer-Straße 65, 10888 Berlin Der tägliche Fußball-Podcast mit André Albers, Kilian Gaffrey und Niklas Heising!

In this powerful new episode of The Food Professor Podcast, presented by Caddle, co-hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois dissect the forces shaping Canada's food and agriculture economy—from farmland bubbles and provincial politics to the latest retail coffee price increases.The show opens with Michael's visit to Prince Edward County, where he talks about reconnecting with past guest Dan Sullivan of Rosehall Run Vineyards and celebrates the growing influence of culinary innovator and recent guest Charlotte Langley, whose tinned-seafood brand Nice Cans is redefining Canadian bespoke tinned fish dining. Sylvain weighs in on stalled interprovincial trade and Premier Doug Ford's ongoing feud with Crown Royal and Diageo, exploring the politics of booze, bans, and consumer choice - and his support of ice cream maker Chapman's. The hosts also spotlight the wild-blueberry disaster in Atlantic Canada, where drought and fires have slashed yields by up to 70%, threatening regional processors and exports.Then the conversation shifts to a fascinating—and controversial—guest: Trent Klarenbach, BSA AgEc PAg, Special Crops & Grain Marketing Analyst and Founder of Klarenbach Research. A former Saskatchewan farmer turned analyst, Trent explains how he uses technical analysis—tools typically reserved for stock markets—to assess farmland value. His research suggests land in Saskatchewan and Alberta may be overbought, echoing warning signs that preceded the dramatic farmland correction of the 1980s.Trent describes how investor psychology and market cycles shape agriculture just as they do equities, applying RSI and Elliott Wave patterns to farmland data. He details his own journey through farming's booms and busts, his motivation for building a subscription-based insights service, and the mixed reactions he's received from farmers, lenders, and ag-finance professionals. For listeners seeking deeper understanding of the economics—and emotion—behind land ownership, his approach reframes how to think about farm equity and risk.The episode wraps with Michael and Sylvain analyzing temporary-foreign-worker fines, Tim Hortons' price move and Starbucks store closures, and Donald Trump's revived talk of U.S. dairy access. They close on a high note—what soaring bullion signals about global uncertainty and food-price volatility.Website: https://www.klarenbach.ca/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@KlarenbachResearchPodcast:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL28YhqW-kvxkfu1I6xFdtaa5BN1GVoHxa&si=_iVqyKVYCkfm6S1m  The Food Professor #podcast is presented by Caddle.

Almuth ist nach der Geburt ihres vierten Kindes wieder am Mikro! Sie blickt skeptisch auf die anstehenden Aufgaben der DFB-Elf in der WM-Qualifikation. Obwohl mit Nico Schlotterbeck ein Hoffnungsträger für die Spiele an diesem Freitag (20.45 Uhr, ARD) gegen Luxemburg und am Montag (20.45 Uhr, RTL) in Nordirland zurückkehrt, sieht sie ein großes Fragezeichen. Almuth sagt: „Normalerweise ist es so, dass du aus einer defensiven Stabilität heraus in der Offensive etwas leisten kannst. Wenn du es gegen unterschiedliche Gegner nicht annähernd schaffst, dieses Gerüst zu bilden, finde ich das schwierig.“ Roman erkennt bei den Entscheidungen von Bundestrainer Julian Nagelsmann und dessen Umgang mit einigen Spielern, etwa dem nach seinem missglückten DFB-Debüt direkt wieder aussortierten Nnamdi Collins, eine Inkonsistenz. Womöglich hat das, meint er, auch mit dem Ende der Zeit von Sandro Wagner als Nagelsmanns Assistent zu tun …

De cryptomarkt is deze week weer volop in beweging. Bitcoin noteert rond de 122.000 dollar, na begin van de week zelfs kortstondig een nieuw record van 126.000 dollar te hebben aangetikt. Sindsdien is de koers wat teruggevallen, maar de vraag blijft of bitcoin zich blijft gedragen als goud of als risicovol aandeel — of juist zijn eigen pad kiest. Altcoins laten een wisselend beeld zien. Uitschieter is BNB, de munt van Binance, die deze week met 26 procent steeg. Ondertussen blijft Donald Trump nadrukkelijk aanwezig in de cryptowereld. Het bedrijf achter zijn eigen memecoin, Fight Fight Fight LLC, wil 200 miljoen dollar investeren in digitale valuta. Daarmee wil het bedrijf zelf een zogenoemde ‘digital assets treasury company’ worden, vergelijkbaar met wat MicroStrategy doet. Eén van de eerste aankopen die op de lijst staat: de eigen Trump Coin. Daarmee probeert het bedrijf de waarde van die munt verder op te stuwen, al is dat plan niet zonder risico. De munt van Trump was begin dit jaar nog goed voor 45 dollar, maar staat inmiddels rond de 7,50 dollar. Een groot deel van de tokens is bovendien in handen van Trump zelf en de oprichters van het project — zo’n tachtig procent in totaal, waarvan slechts een derde vrij verhandelbaar is. Daarmee zit de voormalige president op een papieren winst van honderden miljoenen, maar het is onwaarschijnlijk dat hij die snel kan verzilveren. Voor de resterende houders van de munt betekent dat vooral veel toekomstige verkoopdruk. Verder lijkt de opmars van stablecoins niet te stoppen. Wereldwijd is inmiddels ruim 300 miljard dollar aan dit soort digitale dollars in omloop. En het zijn allang niet meer alleen cryptobedrijven die zich op deze markt storten. ING werkt samen met Europese banken aan een eigen stablecoin, terwijl ook internetbedrijf Cloudflare plannen heeft. Buiten Europa bouwen de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten aan een nationale blockchain met een eigen Dirham-stablecoin. En zelfs Alipay, onderdeel van de Chinese Ant Group, komt met een gereguleerde euro stablecoin vanuit Luxemburg — een opmerkelijke stap, want de euro-variant loopt nog sterk achter op de dollartokens. De beweegredenen verschillen per partij. Cryptobedrijven hopen mee te liften op het winstgevende model van Tether, dat vorig jaar dertien miljard dollar verdiende aan rente-inkomsten. Financiële instellingen als ING en Cloudflare zien vooral kansen om wereldwijde betalingen sneller en goedkoper te maken. Voor landen als de Emiraten spelen geopolitieke en strategische motieven een rol. En dat een Chinese partij mogelijk een belangrijke rol krijgt in het Europese stablecoinverkeer, zal ongetwijfeld nog stof doen opwaaien. Deze week in de CryptocastEen gesprek met multi-asset-belegger Jeroen Blokland, die kiest voor kwaliteitsaandelen, goud en bitcoin in zijn fonds. Hij heeft een boek geschreven, de 'Grote Herbalancering', waarin hij zijn visie op de economie schetst en vervolgens tot de conclusie komt dat de traditionele 60/40 portefeuille niet meer van deze tijd is.

Doch hinter dem Platz an der Sonne kämpfen die Vereine um jeden Punkt. Mario Basler schaut genau auf die Liga und verrät, warum der DFB 6 Punkte holen muss. Mario Basler spricht im Podcast Basler Ballert Klartext: Luxemburg? Da darf's keine Ausreden geben! Die neue Folge von „Basler Ballert“ ist da – und Mario hat wieder richtig Dampf auf dem Kessel. Nationalmannschaft im Fokus: Vor den Spielen gegen Luxemburg und Nordirland warnt Basler eindringlich: „Das müssen sechs Punkte sein – sonst reden wir Montag über Handball.“ Klare Worte vom Ex-Nationalspieler, der keine Ausreden mehr gelten lässt. Bayern im Rausch – aber Basler bleibt skeptisch: Zehn Pflichtspielsiege, Kane trifft wie er will – trotzdem mahnt Basler: „Die Bayern marschieren, aber in der Breite ist der Kader zu dünn. Wenn da einer ausfällt, wird's eng.“ Dortmunds Aufschwung: Nach dem 4:1 gegen Bilbao lobt Basler den BVB: „Das war stark, so was brauchst du international.“ Doch er warnt: „Jetzt müssen sie das mal durchhalten – nicht wieder einbrechen.“ Wolfsburg im Tiefschlaf: Selten wurde der VfL so abgewatscht: „Da passiert jedes Jahr das Gleiche – und keinen interessiert's. Die schmeißen mit Geld wie mit Nüssen, aber sportlich kommt nichts raus.“ Ruhe statt Chaos: Basler lobt Vereine wie Cottbus: „Zwei Leute entscheiden, keine Gremien, kein Theater – so funktioniert's!“ Ein Seitenhieb auf alle, die nach drei Niederlagen gleich den Trainer feuern. Und privat? Mario plaudert über seine Woche: TV-Auftritte, Aufzeichnung bei Stefan Raab – und das große Legenden-Spiel in Polen. „Vielleicht machen wir den nächsten Podcast aus dem Auto“, lacht er. Basler Ballert – der Podcast für alle, die keine Ausreden hören wollen.

In this lively new episode of The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois dive into the latest food, retail, and agriculture headlines before sitting down with a fascinating guest: Bryce Lobreau, Co-Founder of 8 Acres, one of Canada's most innovative organic and grass-fed beef brands.The episode begins with a timely look at Canadians' Thanksgiving dinner costs for 2025. Sylvain shares the results of his annual food price survey, which shows some rare good news: overall holiday meal costs are essentially flat compared to last year, with turkey and fresh produce slightly cheaper. However, canned items like cranberries and pumpkin pie fillings are more expensive due to tariffs on aluminum packaging. The hosts debate changing consumer choices at Thanksgiving, including a move toward lamb and premium proteins.From there, Michael and Sylvain analyze the broader North American food landscape. They unpack the impact of a potential U.S. government shutdown on Canadian agriculture, food inspections, and border trade. The duo also explore the ongoing pistachio recall tied to salmonella contamination, with Sylvain warning consumers to toss any pistachio products they may still have at home. Dairy access in trade negotiations between Canada and the U.S. also comes under scrutiny, with Sylvain highlighting the structural problems in Canada's supply management system. Other hot topics include soybean market disruptions caused by Chinese buying patterns, Canada Post strikes affecting grocery flyers, wildfire impacts on crop yields, and the surprising growth of sushi sales in North American grocery stores.The second half of the show features an in-depth conversation with Bryce Lobreau of 8 Acres. Bryce shares his journey as a third-generation Manitoba farmer who pivoted into organic cattle ranching to survive tough agricultural markets. He and his business partner, Ben Stewart, have built 8Acres into a pioneering national brand, raising over 3,000 head of cattle across certified organic and grass-fed programs. Bryce explains the challenges of scaling in today's cattle market, from soaring calf prices to attracting new ranchers to transition into organics.Listeners will also hear how 8Acres is embracing regenerative agriculture practices, integrating livestock into cropping systems, extending grazing periods, and even experimenting with live-stream farm cameras to build transparency with consumers. Bryce candidly discusses “farmer guilt” around pricing, the importance of branding in Canada's protein sector, and his vision of making organic and grass-fed beef mainstream in Canadian grocery stores over the next decade. Here is the link to buy Sylvain's great Poutine Nation:https://utpdistribution.com/9781487541781/poutine-nation/  The Food Professor #podcast is presented by Caddle.

In this episode of The Food Professor Podcast presented by Caddle, co-hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois bring their trademark mix of food industry news analysis and an in-depth conversation with a leading Canadian food entrepreneur.The episode opens with a wide-ranging look at the Canadian retail and restaurant landscape. Sylvain shares highlights from his keynote in Brampton, Ontario, where the city is building momentum as a potential logistics hub for food and agriculture. Michael and Sylvain discuss strong retail sales numbers, resilience in consumer spending, and a new Restaurants Canada report. The report highlights shifting meal occasions, with Canadians dining out less often but increasingly turning to delivery services like UberEats and DoorDash. They also unpack the surprising rise of solo dining, with nearly 30% growth in single reservations year over year, and how restaurants can adapt to this trend through design and menu innovation. The hosts then tackle Farm Credit Canada's call for greater export diversification, weighing the challenges of competing in heavily subsidized global markets.

In this episode of The Food Professor Podcast, presented by Caddle, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois deliver their trademark mix of hard-hitting food industry analysis and an insightful conversation with a top Canadian food leader.The episode kicks off with a wide-ranging news segment. Michael and Sylvain debate Canada's “Big Five” fast-tracked federal projects and why agri-food continues to be sidelined in national infrastructure planning. They highlight the missed opportunities for boosting food supply chain efficiency, from beef processing facilities to critical ports like Vancouver, which remain among the world's least efficient. The hosts also unpack new EV tariffs targeting Chinese electric vehicles, dissect how they intersect with trade relations, and explore why Canada's ag sector is often the first target of Chinese retaliation. The discussion moves to TikTok's ongoing influence in food marketing, recalling Ocean Spray's viral cranberry moment and the elusive quest for the next billion-view food trend. Rounding out the news, they tackle inflation, food counter-tariffs, and how media narratives are obscuring the real cost impact on Canadian consumers—everything from coffee and tea prices soaring by 20% to rising costs in meat, sugar, and spices.The conversation then shifts to a feature interview with James Maitland, CEO of Les Aliments Dainty Foods Inc.—Canada's only rice mill, located in Windsor, Ontario. James shares his career journey from General Mills and Maple Leaf Foods to leading Dainty, a company with a proud 140-year legacy. He reveals breaking news about the company's upcoming U.S. expansion, with a $50–$75 million investment in a new facility focused on retort pouch technology and ready-to-eat innovation. James explains how Dainty sources authentic rice from global origins, mills it in Canada, and continues to grow as a trusted brand on Canadian shelves. The discussion highlights innovation, from the launch of the new Timewise brand—featuring convenient pasta and rice dishes—to sustainability initiatives like regeneratively grown rice and packaging breakthroughs.With unique insights on tariffs, supply chain challenges, and the balance between legacy and growth, James Maitland provides a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to lead a Canadian food brand into the future.

durée : 00:59:10 - Entendez-vous l'éco ? - par : Aliette Hovine - Comme chaque semaine, nous revenons sur l'actualité en nous demandant dans quelle mesure l'IA profite aux travailleurs. Nous continuons ensuite d'interroger le rapport des économistes à la guerre, en nous demandant comment Rosa Luxemburg fait le lien entre surproduction, impérialisme et armement. - invités : Juan Sebastian Carbonell Sociologue du travail et des relations professionnelles, post-doctorant à l'université de Liège au laboratoire PragmApolis; Mylène Gaulard Maître de conférences en sciences économiques à l'Université de Grenoble Alpes

durée : 00:35:01 - Entendez-vous l'éco ? - par : Aliette Hovine - En 1913, Rosa Luxemburg faisait le lien entre surproduction capitaliste et course à l'armement. Ce raisonnement marxiste pourrait-il trouver un écho aujourd'hui, à l'heure où les industries sont en manque de demande et où les dépenses militaires mondiales atteignent des niveaux inédits ? - réalisation : Camille Mati - invités : Mylène Gaulard Maître de conférences en sciences économiques à l'Université de Grenoble Alpes

In the early 1980's, the winged supermodifieds that flew around dirt ovals in Luxemburg & Sturgeon Bay died off, as the tracks both closed at different times, making way instead for late models, hobby stocks and eventually the IMCA modifieds.A pair of current drivers, Randy Theys and Tony Bouche, are a pair of throwbacks still around who horsed those winged warriors around. We recently caught up with them at The Hill Raceway in Sturgeon Bay. These veteran pilots recalled the what it was like driving those wild-looking machines. Give it a listen!
