Episode 390: When most Canadians think of occult-related witch trials, their minds drift south to Salem, Massachusetts, or across the ocean to medieval Europe. The popular narrative suggests that Canada, with its reputation for tolerance and peace, remained untouched by the supernatural hysteria that gripped other nations. This perception, deeply embedded in the Canadian consciousness, paints our country as somehow above the dark chapters of witch-hunting that stained other societies. Even Dark Poutine listeners, well-versed in the country's hidden crimes and forgotten tragedies, might be surprised to learn the truth. The reality is far different from this comfortable myth. Canada has a complex and largely forgotten history of witchcraft accusations, trials, and legal persecution spanning over 350 years—from the earliest days of New France to as recently as 2018. From demonic possessions in Quebec City to fraudulent psychics in modern Ontario, the Canadian witch trial story is one of fear, prejudice, and the persistent human tendency to blame the margins of society for inexplicable troubles.

In this episode of the Defence Connect Spotlight podcast, special returning host Liam Garman is joined by Lockheed Martin's Josh Woodward and Wayne Harrison to discuss the transformational impact of the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System for the Australian Defence Force. The trio discuss the range of ways HIMARS will serve as a significant transformation in Australia's approach to littoral and long-range strike warfare. They also discuss how HIMARS, when armed with precision-guided munitions such as the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System and the longer-range Army Tactical Missile System – and soon to be integrated with the Precision Strike Missile – enables land forces to engage high-value targets at ranges exceeding 500 kilometres. This blurs traditional boundaries between land and maritime domains, allowing the Army to contribute meaningfully to joint strike missions once reserved for the Air Force or Navy. Finally, they discuss how HIMARS is more than an artillery platform – it represents a strategic enabler within an integrated joint fires network. When linked with persistent surveillance, space-based sensors, and command-and-control systems, HIMARS provides the ADF with a flexible, scalable, and responsive strike capability.

During Hurricane Katrina, thousands of people were locked in the Orleans Parish jail complex as the storm made landfall.In the third of a series remembering that crisis, The Gulf States Newsroom's Kat Stromquist visits with a mom whose son survived the storm in the jail — and speaks with experts, who say disaster planning could improve in jails and prisons.New research out of Tulane University's Newcomb Institute has found a definitive link between long heat waves and the incidence of domestic violence. The data came out of New Orleans and it's especially concerning in a geography that stands to see heatwaves intensify and increase in frequency.Anita Raj, executive director of the Newcomb Institute of Tulane University, tells us more about the findings.The Universities of Louisiana Maritime Academy is making progress in its effort to establish a combined higher-ed effort to bolster the maritime workforce. Earlier this month, they signed a memorandum of understanding with the Propeller Club of New Orleans that will help develop the Maritime Academy at Nicholls State University.Kelly Denning is the executive director of Universities of Louisiana Maritime Academy.

IN today's episode, we're diving into one of the most significant transformations in modern shipping: how geopolitical tensions and supply chain realignments are altering maritime trade routes. From the implementation of tit-for-tat port fees between the US and China to the rise of Southeast Asia as a manufacturing powerhouse, the shipping industry is navigating uncharted waters. Today, we'll hear from three industry leaders who are at the forefront of these changes. In an era where regulations increasingly link vessel nationality to cargo access, shipping's hard‑won resilience is being tested as never before. But for those who can successfully navigate these changes, the question isn't whether they're temporary or permanent—it's whether they can adapt fast enough to turn chaos into opportunity. Joining APAC editor Cichen Shen on the podcast are: SK Lim, managing director Pacific, G2 Ocean Jayendu Krishna, head of Maritime Advisory, Drewry William Khoury, vice president of ports and terminals Southeast Asia, DP World
Today Tony is diving beneath the surface of one of history's most enduring legends: Atlantis. Joining him are maritime archaeologist and bestselling author, David Gibbons, and the writer Damian Le Bas. A life-long fascination with the Atlantis myth has shaped both their work. Together they explore the shifting meanings of Atlantis, from Plato's parable to pop culture icon. They look at the political allegory of Plato's story as a critique of imperialism, how Atlantis has been reinterpreted across history, and the metaphorical idea of Atlantis as a horizon of unknowing: both a physical and philosophical “beyond". Hosted by Sir Tony Robinson | Instagram @sirtonyrobinson Producer: Melissa FitzGerald | X @melissafitzg With David Gibbins | www.davidgibbins.com/biography Maritime archaeologist and bestselling author, David's twelve novels have sold over three million copies and are published in 30 languages. David's been a passionate diver since boyhood and has led many expeditions to investigate historic shipwrecks and other underwater sites around the world, including the Mediterranean, Britain and Canada. His recent non-fiction book, ‘A History of the World in Twelve Shipwrecks', represents a lifelong fascination with underwater archaeology and the place of ships and shipwrecks in world history.

Transcript:Sv: Det var en klar höstdag i Karlskrona, och löven dansade i vinden utanför Marinmuseets stora glasfönster.En: It was a clear autumn day in Karlskrona, and the leaves danced in the wind outside the large glass windows of the Marinmuseum.Sv: Elin och Nils hade bestämt sig för att spendera dagen på museet för att förbereda en presentation om den svenska flottans roll i globala handelsvägar.En: Elin and Nils had decided to spend the day at the museum to prepare a presentation on the Swedish navy's role in global trade routes.Sv: Medan solens strålar långsamt bleknade, kände Elin en nervös pirrande känsla i magen.En: As the sun's rays slowly faded, Elin felt a nervous tingling in her stomach.Sv: Inne i museet var det livligt.En: Inside the museum, it was lively.Sv: Besökare rörde sig mellan utställningar där historiska skepp och navigationsinstrument stod stolt.En: Visitors moved between exhibits where historical ships and navigation instruments stood proudly.Sv: Elin tittade på Nils, som verkade mer intresserad av de stora modellfartygen än av informationstavlorna.En: Elin looked at Nils, who seemed more interested in the large model ships than the information boards.Sv: Hon visste att det skulle bli en utmaning att hålla hans fokus.En: She knew it would be a challenge to keep his focus.Sv: "Vi måste hitta en tystare plats," sa Elin bestämt.En: "We need to find a quieter place," said Elin determinedly.Sv: Hon hade noterat hur grupper av turister skapade ett sorl som gjorde det svårt att tänka.En: She had noticed how groups of tourists created a murmur that made it hard to think.Sv: De gick bort från huvudutställningen och in i de lugnare delarna av museet.En: They moved away from the main exhibition and into the quieter

"Nils, could you draw a map based on this model?Sv: Det kan hjälpa oss att visa hur handelsvägarna såg ut."En: It might help us show what the trade routes looked like."Sv: Nils nickade och satte sig på golvet med sitt skissblock.En: Nils nodded and sat on the floor with his sketchpad.Sv: Han började skapa linjer och former medan Elin fortsatte leta efter mer information.En: He started creating lines and shapes while Elin continued to search for more information.Sv: Hon gick från monter till monter, försökte läsa varje liten text där hon kunde få ett nytt perspektiv till deras presentation.En: She went from display to display, trying to read every little text where she might gain a new perspective for their presentation.Sv: Men snart kände hon att tiden rann ut och de inte hade nog material.En: But soon she felt that time was running out and that they didn't have enough material.Sv: Precis när hopplösheten började krypa in, stötte de på en nästan osynlig dörr.En: Just as hopelessness began to creep in, they stumbled upon an almost invisible door.Sv: Nyfiken drog Elin i handtaget, och dörren gled upp.En: Curious, Elin pulled the handle, and the door slid open.Sv: Bakom dörren fanns ett rum med sällsynta föremål och detaljerade berättelser om den svenska flottan och deras resor till fjärran länder.En: Behind the door was a room with rare objects and detailed stories about the Swedish navy and their journeys to distant lands.Sv: Elin's hjärta slog av upphetsning när hon insåg att detta var exakt vad de behövde.En: Elin's heart raced with excitement when she realized that this was exactly what they needed.Sv: Elin och Nils gick igenom hela utställningen och samlade informationen de hade saknat.En: Elin and Nils went through the entire exhibition and

Maritime trade disputes have escalated with the US and China implementing reciprocal tonnage fees effective October 14th, while the U.S. is aggressively targeting Chinese-made container cranes and intermodal chassis with staggering tariffs up to 270%. The instability is creeping into vital cross-border operations, specifically the US-Mexico e-commerce corridor, following Mexico's mid-August move to raise duties on Chinese imports to 33.5% and roll out stricter data reporting rules. This mix of higher duties and inconsistent enforcement is creating compliance challenges, causing US sellers to reassess using Mexico as a fulfillment hub and potentially shifting inventory back north into the states. Domestically, the truckload market is flashing warning signs of capacity fragility after the National Truckload Index for dry van spot rates rose 2% without the typical corresponding rise in contract tender rejections. Adding to the risk picture, new ATRI data highlights the hidden cost of cargo theft, estimating annual direct costs for motor carriers between $456.7 million and $937.4 million, noting that over 40% of carriers do not report lower-value incidents due to high deductibles and fear of escalating premiums. C.H. Robinson is tackling the need for stability by introducing the Asset Management System (AMS) within its Drop Trailer Plus program, a significant technological upgrade that applies to nearly 50% of the entire truckload market. AMS integrates GPS technology and real-time operational data into the Navisphere platform, transforming trailers into "intelligent assets" that offer SKU-level visibility, enhanced security, and a buffer against capacity shocks and rising crime costs.

IN THIS episode of the Lloyd's List podcast, Synergy chief executive Jesper Kristensen considers two significant and timely questions: where is maritime leadership heading and who will define it? He tackles them from both an individual and an industry standpoint before discussing whether attitudes outside shipping are now influencing the sector's direction. In the current climate of global regulatory and trade changes, the shipping industry is extremely volatile, requiring its leaders to be rapid adapters; “we need to be capable of accepting that tomorrow is most probably not going to be like yesterday”, he says in this podcast.

In this special Market Edge episode of ACEC's Engineering Influence podcast, host Diana O'Lare is joined by GHD's Victor Tirado, Americas Market Sector Lead for Maritime & Coastal, and Michael Vanderbeek, North American Maritime & Coastal Planning Lead, for a deep dive into the shifting dynamics of the global ports market. With decades of international experience, Victor and Michael unpack the trends driving change in port planning and design — from the growing role of ports as energy hubs in the global decarbonization effort to the adoption of alternative fuels. Looking ahead, they address the potential of artificial intelligence and automation, and the increasing importance of surrounding real estate — from cold storage to logistics facilities — in sustaining port competitiveness. The conversation also explores the evolving landscape of port financing, as public authorities hit debt capacity limits and increasingly rely on federal, state, and private sector partnerships to deliver billion-dollar projects. Victor and Michael share perspectives on the uncertainty created by tariffs and trade diversification, the pause in offshore wind development, and how ports are adapting to unpredictable market and policy shifts. Looking ahead, they address the potential of artificial intelligence and automation in the maritime space, the realities of labor and regulatory constraints, and the increasing importance of surrounding real estate — from cold storage to logistics facilities — in sustaining port competitiveness. This episode offers practical insights and forward-looking analysis for engineering firms navigating change in one of the world's most vital and complex markets.

Munster Technological University (MTU) hosted the Cybersecurity Smart Maritime Challenge 2025 in collaboration with Cyber Innovate, the Irish Naval Service and the National Maritime College of Ireland (NMCI) on Friday, 26th September. The event took place in the Cybersecurity Prototyping Lab in MTU's Bishopstown Campus in Cork, showcasing how Ireland's ports and harbours can be defended against evolving cyber threats. For centuries, Cork has been a safe harbour from storms, rough seas and pirates. In 2025, the definition of a safe harbour has expanded to include protection from digital attacks. This shift was brought into sharp focus during a live cybersecurity simulation, conducted using MTU's state-of-the-art Cyber Range infrastructure. The simulation, designed by Airbus, mirrored a real-world cyberattack on a maritime port. In the exercise, a hacker group paralysed a port's IT systems and disabled a ship at its entrance, effectively blocking all traffic. Four teams took part, featuring staff from the Irish Naval Service and the NMCI, alongside MTU researchers and students from Cyber Innovate. They were tasked with identifying the points of attack, regaining control of the vessel, and supporting Europol in apprehending the hacker group's leader. Irish ports are vital hubs for shipping and trade, making cybersecurity expertise essential to safeguarding national infrastructure. The challenge provided participants with practical, hands-on experience to develop skills that are directly relevant to addressing the growing cyber threats facing the maritime sector. "This collaboration between the Irish Navy, NMCI, maritime experts and cybersecurity specialists is essential to safeguarding Ireland's national security. This challenge highlights both the scale of the threat and the strength of the talent we are building in Ireland. Preparing for cybersecurity shock events before they happen is the only way to ensure our ports and maritime infrastructure remain resilient in an increasingly uncertain global landscape," said Dr Hazel Murray, Chair of Cybersecurity at Munster Technological University MTU is recognised as a leader in cybersecurity education, training, research and innovation. The university runs multiple programmes and initiatives, including Cyber Innovate, Cyber Skills, Cyber Explore, Cyber Resilience, Cyber Safety and Cyber Futures. Cork's reputation as Ireland's cybersecurity hub is strengthened by MTU's graduates, which has helped attract many national and international companies to the region. MTU also hosts the Cyber Range, a cutting-edge platform unique in Ireland. This allows simulated cyberattacks on virtual organisations in a safe environment. "At MTU, we are dedicated to advancing cybersecurity through cutting-edge education and research," said Dr George O'Mahony of MTU. "This state-of-the-art facility provides invaluable training for students, researchers and industry professionals, allowing them to build critical skills without risking real-world damage or outages." The Cybersecurity Smart Maritime Challenge underlined the critical importance of protecting Ireland's maritime sector from cyberattacks, particularly as the offshore renewable energy industry becomes a cornerstone of Ireland's energy future and a key enabler of EU climate change targets.

After multiple voyages by the Gaza Freedom Flotilla have been prevented from reaching Gaza's shores by Israel's military, a massive fleet of freedom flotillas are currently sailing towards Gaza to deliver life-saving humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the midst of genocide. The Global Sumud Flotilla “brings together a diverse coalition of international participants, including those involved in previous land and sea efforts like the Maghreb Sumud Flotilla, Freedom Flotilla Coalition, and Global Movement to Gaza.” Including over 50 vessels, delegations from at least 44 countries, and activists, organizers, and people of conscience from around the world, the Global Sumud Flotilla is the largest maritime mission in history to break Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip. TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Zue Jernstedt and Zuleyka Morales Rivera, two US military veterans and members of About Face: Veterans Against the War, who are sailing with the Global Sumud Flotilla.Editor's Note: Hours after recording this interview, members of the Global Sumud Flotilla reported that a drone struck one of the vessels off the coast of Tunis, sparking a fire on the main deck.Additional links/info:Global Sumud Flotilla website, TikTok, and InstagramAbout Face: Veterans Against the War website, TikTok, and InstagramRuwaida Amer's documentary reporting for TRNN from GazaMaximillian Alvarez, The Real News Network, “Chris Smalls: Sabotage attempts and death threats won't stop Gaza Freedom Flotilla”Credits:Studio Production: Cameron GranadinoPost-Production: David HebdenHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!
