This episode of Friends Who Argue features a discussion panel with three lawyers who have made the transition from BigLaw to found very different types of small or solo legal practices. Our speakers include Alexi Wood, Ryan Breedan, and John McIntyre. Our panelists discuss the very different reasons why they decided to found an independent legal practice, the myths and misconceptions of starting a small law practice, what challenges they overcame, and why they value the freedom of small or solo practice.Alexi Wood graduated law school in 2000 and started out carrying out non-private practice work relating to international development and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. Alexi transitioned to BigLaw six or seven years after law school, and valued the commercial litigation training she received working in BigLaw for the decade that followed. Alexi struck out to found a law practice that was more flexible, diverse, and responsive to a mission statement that she could champion (as well as to benefit from conflict of interest referrals).Ryan Breedon made partner at a “big” Bay Street litigation boutique and was essentially content with his career. However, circa 2015 his wife and him wanted to relocate their young family back to Barrie, Ontario, where they had roots. Remote working was not yet a thing that law firms did at this time, which led Ryan to found his own solo practice. This eventually led to hiring some associate or two, and, recently, a partnership. While not his purpose, Ryan very much valued the flexibility and ability to make independent decisions that being a solo/small practitioner provided him. John McIntrye gained valuable experience in the health law specialty while articling and being an associate in BigLaw. John began to feel increasingly constrained by the bureaucratic environment he was in. He therefore left legal practice to pursue a master of public health at John Hopkins in the United States, intending to continue his career in the health sector but not necessarily legal practice. With the pandemic having very much put remote work on the table, John initially carried out Canadian health law work as something of a side practice while in graduate studies. In 2022, however, he joined forces with Jessica Szabo and embarked on a business development spree to found a boutique health law firm. This was successful, although a growing business leads to its own challenges. Land AcknowledgementThe Advocates' Society acknowledges that our offices, located in Toronto, are on the customary and traditional lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinabek, the Huron-Wendat and now home to many First Nations, Inuit, and Metis peoples.  We acknowledge current treaty holders, the Mississaugas of the Credit and honour their long history of welcoming many nations to this territory. While The Advocates' Society is based in Toronto, we are a national organization with Directors and members located across Canada in the treaty and traditional territories of many Indigenous Peoples. We encourage our members to reflect upon their relationships with the Indigenous Peoples in these territories, and the history of the land on which they live and work. We acknowledge the devastating impacts of colonization, including the history of residential schools, for many Indigenous peoples, families, and communities and commit to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusiveness in an informed legal profession in Canada and within The Advocates' Society.

En este episodio exploramos cómo los mitos antiguos, la filosofía y la brujería pueden abrir nuevas maneras de comprender y habitar lo femenino. Junto a Laura Villa, Doctora en filosofía y bruja cotidiana, navegamos el pensamiento Metis, la fuerza de lo intuitivo, la ritualización de la vida cotidiana y la necesidad de cambiar de paradigma. Desde la historia olvidada de Metis hasta la consciencia amorosa, trazamos un recorrido íntimo y rebelde que invita a cuestionar los modelos patriarcales y a reconectar con la sabiduría ancestral del agua, del cuerpo y de los ciclos.

It's an overcast Saturday morning in late March and Station 20 West, located on 20th Street West and Avenue L South, is buzzing with activity.People have gathered to learn more about Naloxone, how to safely administer it to someone overdosing from opioids, and to talk about what can be done to help our community get through this difficult point in time.Saskatoon's drug and overdose crisis has been all over the news. A CBC story notes the Saskatoon Fire Department has responded to 935 overdose incidents or suspected opioid poisonings since the start of the year. That's compared to 376 incidents in the same time period last year.The Saskatoon Library closed two branches for a month over safety and overdose concerns, and Prairie Harm Reduction, which we have featured on the podcast several times, temporarily paused its operations in March to give its staff an opportunity to deal with the trauma they are seeing every day in our city. I think the local media and the Hard Knox Talks podcast have done an exemplarily job of telling the stories amidst this crisis, and I struggled to find a way to get into the crisis through the podcast. Then I learned about this gathering at Station 20 West and thought there might be some people who would be willing to share their stories. So my wife and I went on this Saturday morning and we met some pretty incredible people. We also learned how to administer Naloxone, which you will hear in this episode.We met Colleen Christopherson-Cote, Board Chair for Station 20 West, University of Saskatchewan doctoral candidate, Maryellen Gibson, and  Assistant Professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Saskatchewan, Barbara Fornssler. My sincere thanks to them for sharing their passion for helping others and their community in this episode. You can listen and follow YXE Underground wherever you find your favourite podcasts including Apple Podcasts, Spotify or on the website. Please feel free to leave a 5-star review if you like you what you hear. These reviews help the podcast get into more podcast feeds so I really do appreciate the support. Cheers...Eric  Host, Producer, Editor: Eric AndersonTheme Music: Andrew DicksonWebsite: https://www.yxeunderground.comRecorded: On Treaty 6 Territory and the traditional homeland of the Metis

In this feature segment of asPERusual, guest listener and patient partner Kathy Smith offers a short recap and her key takeaways from last week's episode of asPERusual focused on patient engagement within the Can-SOLVE CKD Network -- a Canada-wide network of patients, scientists, and health care professionals devoted to creating innovative kidney care solutions. Tune in to this short (~10 minute) episode, regardless of whether you want to compare reflections or get the Coles notes of the full Can-SOLVE CKD Network episode.Episode Transcript:Anna:Hi everyone! Welcome to onePERspective - a bi-weekly segment in which patient partner Kathy Smith shares a synopsis and key reflections from the previous episode of asPERusual -- a podcast for practical patient engagement. My name is Anna Chudyk and I am asPERusual's host. In today's episode, Kathy will be commenting on S3E2 of asPERusual. In that episode, I sat down with Melanie Talson and Cathy Woods to learn all about patient engagement within the Can-SOLVE CKD Network, which is a Canada-wide network of patients, scientists, and health care professionals devoted to creating innovative kidney care solutions. Alright Kathy, lets turn it over to you and your onePERspective. Kathy Smith:Thank you, Anna and hello, everyone. I am speaking to you from the centre of Canada along the shores of Lake Superior, or Gitchigumi, the largest, deepest, coldest and cleanest freshwater lake in the world. I wish to acknowledge that my City of Thunder Bay is situated on the traditional land of the Anishinaabe peoples, including the Ojibwa of Fort William First Nation, signatories to the Robinson Superior Treaty of 1850. I thank our ancestral land keepers for centuries of sustainable stewardship of this beautiful area and for kindly sharing the bounties of this rich land with everyone. I also wish to express my appreciation for the significant contribution of the Metis nation. I am sorry for the mistakes made and mistreatment of Indigenous peoples by colonists in the past and I am committed to working together for truth and reconciliation. Miigwetch.If ever there was an award for a solid and sustainable engagement strategy, today's Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Px engagement platform would certainly be a strong contender. I am most impressed with how they have integrated the Indigenous voice and with their capacity-building training modules, including bi-directional Capacity Bridging.Melanie Talson & Cathy Woods from Can-SOLVE CKD: Canadians Seeking Solutions and Innovations to Overcome Chronic Kidney Disease describe their network as a national partnership of lived experience patients; learned experience researchers; laboured experience health care workers and clinicians; and leaders – the managers and policy makers. The four “Ls” work together to transform treatment and care and improve the outcome for those living with debilitating chronic kidney disease.Can-SOLVE's tagline is “the right treatment for the right person at the right time and place.” No small task when you consider CKD affects a disproportionate number of Indigenous people many of whom live in remote, even fly-in, communities. That is why I am so impressed to see that this group has a strategy for addressing that barrier to care. Can-SOLVE has an Indigenous-led partner group, IPERC -Indigenous Peoples Engagement and Research Council. IPERC's focus is on Indigenous kidney care challenges unique to this harder to reach, often underserved, group. Cathy, of the Bear Clan, is a member of Naicatchewenin First Nation in Northwestern Ontario, is the patient partner and a lead researcher of the Kidney Check Research Project which seeks to screen, triage and treat Indigenous people living in rural and remote communities in the three western provinces and British Columbia. Patient partners within both groups prioritize and co-lead research projects like this one, ensuring meaningful and relevant engagement at every stage. Furthermore, there is a Patient Governance Council – a leadership team made up of representatives of both interest groups who decide on plans and policies that affect the entire CKD community.Our speakers have done a great job describing each of the 6 Rs upon which they built their engagement platform: Respect, Responsibility, Reciprocity, Relevance, Relationships and Realness. Realness is a term I had not heard of in engagement platforms before. But I do understand and appreciate its inclusion. We need to fit our hats to the task as I like to call it. Our real life has given each of us many hats, but which shall we wear to best meet the asks of the task? Patients and providers work best when they find common ground, common interests and common language with lived experience input “as is”. Bring your real, authentic self to the table. Respect for individual differences and perspectives sees real-world impacts.Equally impactful is how patient partners like Cathy describes her involvement in CANSOLVE as healing, empowering, and deeply purposeful – creating a space for ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. As the famous anthropologist, Margaret Mead, phrased it; never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. It's the only thing that ever has.”Finally, I'd like to acknowledge CANSOLVE's Bridging Capacity. Building capacity is an integral component of patient engagement strategies. Training modules are co-designed to buildup the knowledge and provide the necessary tools for patients to engage in a research project. These helps are unidirectional in scope. So how does Bridging Capacity differ from Building Capacity? Bridging Capacity is bi-directional. Patients and providers both learn from each other. I cant think of a better tool for bridging the power differential and creating strong work relationships!All in all, CANSOLVE and IPERC have really empowered patients to enhance research relevance to better the outcome for all with chronic kidney disease.PERsonally SpeakingMy three take-aways:Could this Indigenous Partnership (IPERC) model be used to incorporate the voice of many other underserved populations – the remote; the homeless; the new Canadians? These groups are surely concerned about their health, but they do not want to, or cannot, come to our Table. So, meet them where they are at with separate interest groups run by their own leaders and their own peers. Then the leaders of the various interest groups could come together to form an overarching Senior Team. This makes for a much more inclusive and diverse Patient Engagement Platform!Capacity Bridging This was a term I had not heard of before but I very much like it for the added emphasis it brings to an engagement platform. This bridging is a bi-directional sharing of knowledge between the lived experience experts and the learned experience experts. It stresses the importance of respecting that all members of the team bring unique experiences and skill sets. This concept guides mentorship, training, and peer review practices across the network. Patient partners are highly valued for their different hats they bring to a task on the TEAM: Together Everyone Accomplishes More. Together is better!Relationship Building is at the heart and soul of every Patient Engagement Platform. It takes a patience of time and a whole lot of money. It must be accounted for in research budgets and run by a paid, highly trained and skilled multi-tasker manager. Anything less jeopardizes the success of the engagement platform and perhaps the relevance and value of the research itself.At this time, I would like to thank everyone for the privilege and the opportunity of speaking to you on these podcasts. In particular, I want to do a huge shout out to my heroine, Anna, for including me and asking me to do these podcasts. As Anna is moving forward with the pediatric and youth groups, I want a fresh voice to help her with these podcasts. But in any case, I wish Anna all the best as she goes forward with this labor of love. I can't tell you how much time and effort Anna has shown and the passion that she has dedicated to helping all patients engage meaningfully and relevantly with academic partners in research. Thank you. And happy trails, Anna. Anna:Thanks Kathy for this, and all of the other onePERspective's to date. As you know, your encouraging emails summarizing all you learned from the release of this podcast's initial episodes were the impetus for creating the onePERspective segment. I've really enjoyed hearing your reflections and collaborating with you on the creation of these episodes. Even with all your engagement related jet setting, I could also count on you to come through on your episode… and somehow find the time for it. Big hugs to you and I'm glad we have research we're collaborating on together so it's not actually a good bye. Moving forward this season, I'm going to continue with onePERspective but it's taking a different twist. A big reason why I have chosen to focus the remainder of season 3's episodes on engaging children, youth, and families is for my own learning as I expand my research program to focus on these populations. I am currently moving in this direction through a pharmacogenetics study I am collaborating on with my colleague Abdullah Maruf, as well as work I am doing with colleagues to redesign pediatric-to-adult transition care services for youth and families living with congenital heart disease. Sasha Kullman is a talented PhD trainee working under my supervision on the congenital heart disease project. Given her passion and penchant for patient engagement and knowledge translation, I thought that it would be a great opportunity for her to take over onePERspective this season, and offer a trainee perspective on her take-aways from the episodes. She's very brilliant and I can't wait to hear her episode takeaways as her insights always make me think.In the next full episode of asPERusual, I kick off the rest of this season's focus on how to meaningfully engage children, youth, and families in health research. Guests Brianna Hunt, Onalee Garcia-Alecio, and Michelle Roy, will share their experience with engaging in the iCARE study—Canada's largest cohort of youth with type 2 diabetes. We'll also discuss what makes engagement meaningful over time, the value of lived experience, and practical tips for involving youth and families in ways that are inclusive, trauma-informed, and fun.

Is it too late to say sorry? Do apologies for medical harm actually create change? The Canadian Medical Association recently issued an apology to Indigenous Peoples for the harms inflicted upon them by the medical system, acknowledging a history of racism, neglect, and abuse. In this crucial episode, we delve into the significance of this apology and explore what true transformative medical justice must entail for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples in Canada. Our esteemed guest, Dr. Jamaica Cass, a First Nation physician, brings her invaluable perspective to this vital conversation. We discuss the limitations of apologies without concrete action and the urgent need for systemic change that respects and upholds Indigenous sovereignty within healthcare. Dr. Cass sheds light on the necessary steps to dismantle colonial structures in medicine, foster culturally safe practices, and ensure equitable access to care that is self-determined by Indigenous communities. Join The Gritty Nurses as we unpack what accountability looks like beyond words, and envision a future where Indigenous health and well-being are centered through the recognition of their inherent rights and sovereignty in healthcare delivery. More About Dr. Cass A member of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, Turtle Clan, Dr. Cass practices Indigenous Health as a primary care physician on-reserve at Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory. In addition, as an assistant professor in the Department of Family Medicine at Queen's University, she currently supervises both undergraduate clerks and family medicine residents. Dr. Cass completed her family medicine residency at the University of Calgary, where she served on the Indigenous Health Working Group in the department of Family Medicine. Prior to her residency, Dr. Cass spent four years in New Orleans, Louisiana, where she completed her Medical Doctorate at Tulane University. With an extensive background in science, Dr. Cass earned her PhD from Queen's University in breast cancer molecular biology before pursuing a career in medicine. She was recognized with several institutional, national and international awards, including the American Association for Cancer Research MICR Scholar-in-Training Award, the Terry Fox Foundation Transdisciplinary Award and the Robert Sutherland Fellowship. While a student at Queen's, she was active in Indigenous mentorship and advocacy, serving on the Indigenous Council of Queen's University and the Native Students' Association, and mentoring Indigenous undergraduate students.  CMA Apology https://www.cma.ca/our-focus/indigenous-health/apology-harms-indigenous-peoples#:~:text=We%20realize%20we%20have%20left,CMA%20apology%20to%20Indigenous%20Peoples   Order our Book, The Wisdom Of Nurses!

This episode of Friends Who Argue marks our first French episode, as we are discussing mentoring with TAS' Quebec recipient of the Excellence in Mentoring Award, Julie Chenette. Dans un entretien avec Antoine Veillette, nos deux invités ont l'occasion d'échanger sur ce que la relation de mentorat leur apporte, sur l'identification d'un bon mentor et l'opportunité d'en identifier un au sein de son cabinet ou à l'externe, les principaux conseils pour un mentorat fructueux et certains aspects moins fréquemment discutés du mentorat.Julie Chenette est associée fondatrice chez Chenette, boutique de litige. Me Chenette a fondé son cabinet après avoir pratiqué pendant près de 20 ans comme avocate puis comme associée au sein du groupe du litige, des recours collectifs et de la responsabilité professionnelle chez McCarthy Tétrault à Montréal. Avocate renommée en litige de responsabilité professionnelle, diffamation et enquêtes disciplinaires, elle a donné plusieurs conférences dans les domaines du droit de la responsabilité des professionnels et de la déontologie, et a enseigné la procédure et la responsabilité civile à l'École du Barreau du Québec. Me Chenette a reçu en 2024 le prix d'Excellence en mentorat de la Société des plaideurs qui récompense les plaideurs qui ont fait preuve d'un engagement exceptionnel et d'excellence dans le mentorat au Québec.Antoine Veillette est avocat chez Langlois. Habitué d'intervenir dans le cadre de litiges complexes en matière civile et commerciale, il exerce principalement en droit de la consommation et de l'environnement ainsi qu'en matière de responsabilité du fabricant. Il est aussi appelé à agir à tout stade de l'instance en matière de faillite et d'insolvabilité. Impliqué auprès de la Société des plaideurs, Me Veillette est à un point de son parcours professionnel où il agit à titre de mentor tout en poursuivant sa propre relation comme mentoré, lui permettant ainsi d'échanger sur ces deux aspects avec Me Chenette.Land AcknowledgementThe Advocates' Society acknowledges that our offices, located in Toronto, are on the customary and traditional lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinabek, the Huron-Wendat and now home to many First Nations, Inuit, and Metis peoples.  We acknowledge current treaty holders, the Mississaugas of the Credit and honour their long history of welcoming many nations to this territory. While The Advocates' Society is based in Toronto, we are a national organization with Directors and members located across Canada in the treaty and traditional territories of many Indigenous Peoples. We encourage our members to reflect upon their relationships with the Indigenous Peoples in these territories, and the history of the land on which they live and work. We acknowledge the devastating impacts of colonization, including the history of residential schools, for many Indigenous peoples, families, and communities and commit to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusiveness in an informed legal profession in Canada and within The Advocates' Society.

Welcome to a special bonus episode of YXE Underground featuring a really wonderful person named Kyle Zurevinski. He is the Digital Media Program Assistant at the Remai Modern Museum and one of his largest responsibilities is curating and facilitating the film program at the museum. I have had the pleasure of working with Kyle on a few community projects in my role at Sherbrooke Community Centre over the past few years and he's just really great guy who loves his community and loves bringing people together. Kyle brings people together by selecting thought-provoking, interesting and compelling films to the Remai, and we discuss how he chooses the movies in this episode. He also talks about the role movie theatres can play in forming community in Saskatoon and what it feels like to experience watching a film in a packed theatre. I am so excited to be partnering with Kyle and the Remai Modern for a special community screening of the Pixar classic film, Wall-E, on April 17th. The show is free to the public (bring the entire family!) and will be screened at the Remai's theatre which you can find on the second floor. It starts at 7pm and I will be giving away free YXE Underground swag to everyone who comes! I love Wall-E and I think it connects in so many meaningful ways to the mission and values of the podcast. We will also be screening the short film that Saskatoon videographer, Molly Schikosky, and I made last summer to celebrate all things YXE Underground. I can't wait to see it on the big screen! I hope to see you on April 17th and a big thank you to Kyle for not only being on the podcast but for making this community screening event happen. You are awesome, Kyle!!Cheers...Eric   Host, Producer, Editor: Eric AndersonTheme Music: Andrew DicksonWebsite: https://www.yxeunderground.comRecorded: On Treaty 6 Territory and the traditional homeland of the Metis

Welcome to Valerie Veillard's sitting room. There's tea and snacks on the coffee table in front us and she's flanked on her couch by Nathalie Baudais and Twyla Yobb. Between the three of them, they have decades of experience in sponsoring refugees and helping them settle in Saskatoon. Valerie, Nathalie and Twyla are part of a sponsorship group working with the Mennonite Central Committee to bring a refugee family from Afghanistan to our city. The Jamili family has been waiting for months to learn if they will begin a new life in Saskatoon, while Valerie and the team have been working behind the scenes to ensure they will get to Canada safely. That means filling out forms, fostering relationships with organizations like the Saskatoon Open Door Society, and fundraising…lots and lots of fundraising.The group has already sponsored the settlement of two adult children from the Jamili family, and it is hoping to soon reunite the family here in Saskatoon. The world of refugee sponsorship is new to me, and I am grateful to Valerie, Nathalie and Twyla for walking me through the process of how it works, and why they commit so much of their time and energy to helping others in this way.If you would like to help bring the Jamili family to Saskatoon, please click the link below.DONATEYou can listen to YXE Underground wherever you find your favourite including Apple Podcast, Spotify, Goodpods or on yxeunderground.comPlease feel free to leave a 5-star review if you like what you hear.

YXE Underground is a local, independent podcast here in Saskatoon that shines a light on people who are doing incredible things but are flying under the radar. I am so excited that the wonderful Lisa Greig is once again joining us in Season Seven for Walking With Lisa episodes. We've done several episodes focusing on mental health and they have become some of the most listened to episodes in the seven seasons of the podcast. It got me thinking that it would be great if we could do a quick mental health check in every month and luckily Lisa said yes to the pitch. This is Lisa's second season on YXE Underground and I am grateful for her support. Lisa Greig is a mother of two young children, a social worker who now works for Saskatoon's Rock and Bloom, the author of a best selling children's book entitled 'Scream! Shout! Let's Feel Our Grief Out' and a trusted mental health advocate within our community.She has a true gift of explaining mental health issues and sharing insights in a clear, honest and compassionate way and I am thrilled that she will be sharing her wisdom with us in Season Seven of the podcast.  The premise of these Walking With Lisa episodes is simple. Lisa and I will go for a walk (or sit down for lunch, ha ha) and I will start our conversation with this question: "What's on your mind, Lisa?"In this 'Walking With Lisa' episode, Lisa and I met for brunch at Hometown Diner and we explore the complex topic of forgiveness. We do this through the lens of the popular television show, Shrinking, and Lisa shares so many wonderful insights and reflections on a topic that can be hard for people to grasp at times. I struggle with forgiveness and so I really appreciate Lisa showing me its benefits, and how long the road can be to forgiveness, in our conversation. Listen to YXE Underground wherever you find your favourite podcast including Apple Podcasts and Spotify. You can Follow YXE Underground on your favourite podcast app so that you won't miss a single Lisa episode and feel free to leave a 5-star review if you like what you hear. Thanks so much for listening and for supporting a local, independent podcast here in Saskatoon.Cheers...Eric  Host, Producer, Editor: Eric AndersonTheme Music: Andrew DicksonWebsite: https://www.yxeunderground.comRecorded: On Treaty 6 Territory and the traditional homeland of the Metis

In 1953, in what was then the Belgian Congo, four-year-old Marie-José Loshi was forcibly removed from her family's village and taken more than 600km away to live in a Catholic institute. The cause of her kidnapping was the colour of her skin. Under Belgium's colonial rule, thousands of mixed-race children were taken from their homes and separated from their families. The state hoped the actions would quash any sense of revolt against the colony. More than 70 years later, Marie-José and four other women took on the former colonial power, seeking justice for themselves and the many other mixed-race children that suffered the same fate. She speaks to Kaine Pieri.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: Marie-José Loshi.

Tom Ngo is the CEO of Metis, a permissionless Layer 2 network powering the next generation of decentralized applications and AI data systems. Why you should listen Metis is redefining the Ethereum Layer 2 landscape with its ambitious ReGenesis initiative, a transformative step toward integrating AI with blockchain technology. Metis is introducing infrastructure tailored for AI-driven applications. Central to this vision is LazAI, a decentralized AI framework designed to solve the fundamental issue of data alignment in artificial intelligence. Unlike conventional AI models, which rely on centralized, opaque datasets, LazAI leverages blockchain's transparency and composability to democratize AI data, ensuring bias-resistant, context-aware, and verifiable AI models. This innovation positions Metis as a key player in shaping an AI-native Web3, where intelligent agents and decentralized AI economies thrive. ReGenesis represents more than just a technical upgrade; it's a fundamental restructuring of the blockchain ecosystem to support high-performance AI computation. The initiative introduces Andromeda's dual-chain architecture, combining AI's need for high throughput with the deterministic security of Web3 transactions. Through innovations like Decentralized AI Assetization (DAT) and Verified Computing, Metis ensures that AI-generated data and models are treated as on-chain assets, allowing their value to be transparently assessed and traded within the Web3 economy. By integrating AI governance mechanisms such as iDAOs (individual decentralized autonomous organizations), Metis is laying the groundwork for a decentralized AI economy, where users, rather than centralized corporations, dictate the direction of AI innovation. Beyond infrastructure, Metis is actively fostering AI-native applications through its Alith AI agent framework, enabling intelligent, on-chain automation. This positions Web3 as not just a decentralized financial system but as the foundational layer for AI's next evolutionary leap. By creating a high-throughput blockchain network purpose-built for AI, incubating decentralized AI projects like LazAI, and establishing mechanisms for AI asset verification, Metis is spearheading the convergence of AI and Web3. In doing so, the project ensures that AI does not remain monopolized by tech giants but instead becomes a shared, transparent, and community-driven force, shaping a future where blockchain and AI coalesce into a self-sustaining digital ecosystem.

A cancer diagnosis at any age is scary and life changing, but receiving this news the you are at a point in your life where having children, starting a family or growing your family is on your mind, raises a different set of challenges. Saskatoon's Prairie Cancer Fertility Preservation charity supports cancer patients when it comes to fertility challenges. Helping patients navigate fertility issues during a cancer diagnosis is something Dominique Paulgaard and Lierin Baerg do in their roles as nurses at Royal University Hospital and with their charity, Prairie Cancer Fertility Preservation. The charity was started three years by a group of oncology nurses in Saskatoon and today features Jessica Smith, Taylor Huang, Lierin Baerg and Dominique Paulgaard as its members. The purpose of Prairie Cancer Fertility Preservation is to preserve the ability for cancer patients to have children. As I learned from Lierin and Dominique, this can either be through sperm or egg preservation, and as you are about to hear, it can be quite the journey. Lieren as been a Registered Nurse at Royal University Hospital's Inpatient Cancer and Stem Cell Transplant unit for the past 10 years. Dominique has been a nurse in the same unit for 13 years. They both have families with young children and find the time to run this charity.How the charity works, why it means so much to them, and what conversations are like with their patients when it comes to fertility are topics we cover in our conversation. We also discuss how overwhelming it is for someone who has just received a cancer diagnosis to think about if they want to preserve their ability to have children in the future and the financial challenges that come with their decision.Prairie Cancer Fertility Preservation has a fundraising event on Saturday, March 15th at Crossmount Cider Company. Tickets are 50 dollars and Saskatoon's Ross Nielsen will be playing live sets of music. You can learn more by following Prairie Cancer Fertility Preservation on Facebook and Instagram, or click this link to purchase tickets.You can listen to YXE Underground wherever you find your favourite including Apple Podcast, Spotify, Goodpods or on yxeunderground.com. Please feel free to leave a 5-star review if you like what you hear. These positive reviews help the podcast show up in more podcast feeds so I really do appreciate the support. I also want to let you know of an exciting event I am working on with the Remai Modern. Please mark April 17th on your calendar as that's when YXE Underground will be presenting a movie at the Remai Modern's lovely theatre beginning at 7pm. This is thanks to Kyle Zurevinski, who runs the theatre programming at the Remai, and his generous spirit. We will be showing the short film Molly Schikosky and I made last summer celebrating the podcast followed by the Pixar classic, Wall-E because it's one of my favourite movies of all time and I think it connects nicely to YXE Underground in meaningful ways. The Remai does this with other community organizations who select a movie for the public to watch for free and it's really cool to partner with the gallery in this way. Plus, it's free to attend!So I would love to see you on the night of Thursday, April 17th, to celebrate the podcast and watch one of the best films of the past 20 years.Thank you for continuing to support a local, independent podcast here in Saskatoon.Cheers...Eric  Host, Producer, Editor: Eric AndersonTheme Music: Andrew DicksonWebsite: https://www.yxeunderground.comRecorded: On Treaty 6 Territory and the traditional homeland of the Metis

Click here to send me a text message ...Stories arrive on our TV screen daily, unbidden. We are momentarily entertained or diverted but rarely are we changed. The old stories, however, passed down from generation to generation, were meant to instruct us, to identify us with a tribe, and to change us. Natalie Pepin, a Metis artist and cultural educator, and Tad Hargrave, a European-Canadian marketer and cultural explorer, both experienced the dearth of life-changing stories in our modern culture ... until they stumbled upon traditional fairy tales.

For students arriving in Saskatoon with very little knowledge of the English language, one of the first people they will meet in school is an English as an Additional Language teacher. These teachers not only guide students on their journey through the language, but as I discover in this episode, they provide a safe and nurturing space for students who have been through a lot in their young lives. You are going to meet two incredible EAL teachers in this episode of YXE Underground. Megan Chan and Laura Jorgenson share many qualities. They are passionate about teaching the English language in the Saskatoon Public School Division. They work hard to create a classroom where newcomer and refugee students feel secure and supported, and they both find their work as EAL teachers incredibly rewarding. Megan teaches elementary students at W.P. Bate School and Laura teaches high school EAL classes at Tommy Douglas Collegiate. Together, I believe they give you a clear picture of the challenges EAL teachers face as Saskatoon continues to become a more diverse community and school populations continue to rise, and why their jobs are so fulfilling. You can listen to YXE Underground wherever you find your favourite podcasts including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Goodpods or on the website.

It's been a busy year at the Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre. The organization has seen a 25 per cent increase in the use of its services in 2024, which works out to around 23,000 people a month coming to the Food Bank. Of those 23,000 people, 43 per cent are children. These numbers, along with the Food Bank's plan to open a new facility in August 2025 in the Pleasant Hill neighbourhood, makes the organization's Light It Up fundraising campaign all the more critical.One of the many unique spaces in the Food Bank is the Community Test Kitchen. This is where you can often find Kate Lasiuk and her team leading community cooking classes as well as preparing food for the greater community. Kate is the Nutrition Program Manager with the Food Bank and a big believer that food can bring people together from all walks of life. The Nutrition Program at the Food Bank has been in operation since 2019, and under Kate's guidance, it is teaching people not just the basics of cooking but the joy that comes with preparing a meal. The cooking classes, whether they are in person or online, are also bringing people from diverse backgrounds together. I think that's definitely worth celebrating. It was a pleasure sitting down with Kate to talk about the difference the Nutrition Program is making in Saskatoon, and why this work means so much to her. You can follow and listen to YXE Underground wherever you find your favourite podcasts including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or the YXE Underground website.

Note from Lucas: I know some folks might have a difficult time with talking about Wendigo in fiction. I myself am Metis and the way it was discussed by elders was the Wendigo was a cautionary tale of anger, isolation, and pain. I tried to keep that in the spirit of the creature, but also reflect that at this point in the story they are fighting a boss fight designed in a video game, so there is a portion that is very gamified to it. I understand completely if this is an episode you'd like to skip. If you'd like to skip this episode but want to know what happens I am placing SPOILERS at the end of the show notes, so you have to scroll to see it. ************* Welcome to the Ballad of the Seven Dice. The party is now ready to at last confront the boss of Floor 1 alongside scores of other players! Will they take this creature down quickly or will they realize that Carcosa Online is one hell of a game!

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED   The party heads into the forest with everyone, realizing that a winter has set over the woods. Akihiko asked Nysla about love as they head deeper in readying themselves.  They set off their plan to trap the boss in the fire trap and a bit of it goes wrong with Lune losing a portion of his people and wishing it was him instead. The party fights and the battle is brutal with scores upon scores of people perishing. The boss is piercing players on its antlers and when they are on there, they don't truly die. Akihiko is almost slain and Houndman takes the hit and is killed. Nysla almost dies from a number of attacks and is unconscious. Lune criticals two times in a row and at the last moment defeats the boss.  The party realizes they lost over 100 players in this battle and many dear friends. They are broken, battered, and scarred. This is the cost of victory.

A Brussels Court of Appeals this week ruled that the Belgium government committed crimes against humanity during colonization for its treatment of Métis, or mixed-race children, during colonial rule in Belgian Congo, now the Democratic Republic of Congo. The case was brought by five Metis women born in the then colony between 1948 and 1952. Like thousands of Métis children born to European fathers and African mothers, they were taken from their Congolese mothers, forcibly placed in religious institutions and later abandoned. Geneviève Kaninda, Advocacy & Policy Officer for African Futures Lab which has been tackling global racial injustices across Africa and Europe, tells VOA's James Butty, the court ruling highlights the importance of the right to reparations.

Hello and welcome to a special bonus episode of YXE Underground.A few nights ago, my wife and I were able to attend a really wonderful event hosted by artist group called The 525.It was the closing reception to a group photography and video exhibition called Unbecoming…held in an empty business space on Third Avenue. The exhibition was co-curated by Saskatoon's Rowen Dinsmore and Molly Schikosky. Now, if Molly's name sounds familiar, it's because she has worked with me on many episodes of the podcast taking photos, as well as creating the YXE Underground video that was released a few months ago. Molly is amazing and we really wanted to support her…And I must say the evening was so much fun! The exhibition featured 10 female identifying artists from Saskatoon: Leo Lauren ConquergoodHannah AlexXiao HanBerit JohnsonEmily JohnsonMona KhanMolly SchikoskyDarby SutherlandTammy ZdunichEmma ZuckEach artist had their own space within the exhibition showcasing their photography and videography talents. All 10 artists also shared with a packed crowd the motivation behind their works, and you'll hear from some of the artists in this episode. You will also meet a gentleman named Kehun Fu, who is The 525's Principal Director. This was my first time attending a 525 exhibition and Kehun shares how this local group is bringing original art to unique spaces across Saskatoon.Before I take you the event, which as I just mentioned, was full of people, I want to share to you the exhibition statement as I think it will get you in the right frame of mind before meeting some of the artists.“Unbecoming challenges and reclaims the phrase weaponized against women and act a certain way can be viewed as ‘unbecoming,' and also references the idea of unpacking and unravelling generational impact left on women by women. Central to this exhibition are themes of evolving womanhood across generations, everyday moments that shape and celebrate female experiences, diverse expressions of femininity, and personal narratives that reveal intimate, transformative stories of empowerment.”You can follow and listen to YXE Underground wherever you find your favourite podcasts including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Goodpods or the YXE Underground website.

Người dân ở Hà Nội có thêm tuyến đường sắt đô thị thứ hai trong hành trình "Giao thông nhanh cho tương lai xanh". Lễ vận hành thương mại tuyến số 3 Nhổn - ga Hà Nội đoạn trên cao được tổ chức ngày 09/11/2024 sau ba tháng mở cửa đón khách. Là dự án mang tính biểu tượng cho quan hệ Việt - Pháp, tuyến số 3 được hai bên kỳ vọng tăng cường hợp tác song phương trong những dự án tương lai về phát triển đô thị bền vững và chuyển đổi năng lượng phát thải thấp. Tuyến đường sắt đô thị 3 Nhổn - ga Hà Nội : Biểu tượng cho hợp tác Việt - PhápThành công của đoạn trên cao cũng « chứng tỏ năng lực của toàn thể đội ngũ Pháp - Việt Nam trong việc triển khai tốt các dự án hạ tầng đầy tham vọng của lĩnh vực vận tải đường sắt », theo nhận định của đại sứ Olivier Brochet khi trả lời phỏng vấn RFI Tiếng Việt :« Tuyến đường sắt đô thị số 3 thực sự là một dự án biểu tượng cho sự hợp tác Pháp-Việt vì dự án đã được khởi công từ cách đây khá lâu và đó cũng là một dự án phức tạp cần chút thời gian để hoàn thành. Việc tuyến đường được đưa vào hoạt động vào tháng 08/2024 đã được mọi người trông đợi. Chúng tôi rất vui. Trước tiên vì đây là một thành công lớn về kỹ thuật. Tuyến đường hoạt động rất tốt, chỉ trong một tháng đã có gần 1 triệu người ở Hà Nội sử dụng tàu điện. Có thể thấy là tuyến đường sắt này đã tìm được vị trí của mình. Đây là điểm đầu tiên cần phải nêu bật và chúng tôi rất vui.Tiếp theo là những mục tiêu. Phát triển bền vững giao thông đô thị là một thách thức đối với tất cả các thành phố lớn, dĩ nhiên là đối với cả Hà Nội và thành phố Hồ Chí Minh. Chính phủ Việt Nam muốn phát triển những loại hình giao thông đô thị một cách năng động trong những năm tới. Còn chúng tôi mong muốn làm việc với chính phủ Việt Nam bởi vì trước hết, giao thông đô thị bền vững là điều rất quan trọng cho người dân, giúp cải thiện điều kiện lưu thông, điều kiện sống hàng ngày bằng cách giảm thời gian di chuyển cho họ. Việc này cũng quan trọng đối với thành phố bởi vì đây là cách giảm ô nhiễm, giảm tắc đường. Chúng ta thấy ở Hà Nội, tình hình thường xuyên ở ngưỡng ranh giới, nhất là về mặt ô nhiễm đô thị vẫn còn rất nghiêm trọng.Tiếp theo, tuyến tàu điện còn có vai trò quan trọng vì làm giảm khí phát thải CO2 trong giao thông vận tải. Đây là một thách thức cơ bản trong cuộc chiến chống tình trạng trái đất nóng lên. Các phương tiện giao thông, trên quy mô thế giới, chiếm gần 25% lượng khí phát thải. Trên khắp mọi nơi, người ta tìm cách làm giảm lượng khí này và cách tốt nhất là phát triển giao thông đô thị hiệu quả, hiện đại. Chúng tôi rất vui được giải quyết những thách thức này với chính phủ Việt Nam và chính quyền thành phố Hà Nội ».Không chỉ đơn thuần là phương tiện giao thông Ngay trong 5 ngày đầu khai thác thương mại (08-12/08), tuyến số 3 đã phá kỷ lục lượt khách trải nghiệm tuyến 2A Cát Linh - Hà Đông, thu hút gần 300.000 lượt khách, trong đó chỉ riêng ngày 11/08 có đến 100.000 lượt, gần gấp đôi con số 58.000 lượt trong ngày 01/05/2023 của tuyến 2A. Không chỉ giữ chức năng phương tiện giao thông công cộng, tuyến số 3 được đối tác Pháp muốn biến thành không gian thư giãn, sinh hoạt chung cho hành khách mà không nhàm chán, tẻ nhạt với việc đưa nghệ thuật vào các công trình giao thông. Đây cũng là một thế mạnh của Pháp và được triển khai rộng rãi trong hệ thống tàu điện ngầm Paris-Ile de France.Lần đầu tiên, một tác phẩm nghệ thuật công cộng được đặt tại nhà ga đường sắt đô thị. Tác phẩm Năm giờ sáng, Hà Nội thức giấc - Il est cinq heures, Hanoï s'éveille (lấy cảm hứng từ bài hát nổi tiếng Pháp Il est cinq heures, Paris s'éveille), được Cơ quan Phát triển Pháp - AFD tài trợ thông qua quỹ Metis và tặng thành phố Hà Nội, được đặt tại ga Cầu Giấy, đúng lễ vận hành thương mại đoạn trên cao và đặt biển khánh thành. Tác phẩm muốn truyền tải cùng lúc nhiều thông điệp về khuyến khích sử dụng giao thông công cộng, nhận thức về biến đổi khí hậu và chuyển đổi năng lượng, bảo tồn di sản văn hóa… Trong hành trình này, phía Pháp đã vận dụng rất nhiều công nghệ cao, hiện đại để tuyến số 3 xanh và bền vững, theo giải thích của đại sứ Olivier Brochet :« Cam kết của Pháp trong quá trình xây dựng tuyến đường số 3, trước tiên là thông qua việc tài trợ bởi vì gần 50 triệu euro ngân sách đã được huy động từ kho bạc Pháp hoặc từ Cơ quan Phát triển Pháp AFD. Nhưng cam kết của Pháp còn được thể hiện qua việc huy động tinh hoa của công nghệ Pháp về giao thông đường sắt đô thị. Có thể thấy rất nhiều tên tuổi lớn trong lĩnh vực công nghệ Pháp, như Alstom, Colas Rail, Systra - một công ty kỹ thuật tổng hợp, RATP Smart Systems… Tất cả những doanh nghiệp lớn của Pháp đều có kinh nghiệm dày dặn tại Pháp. Điều này được thấy trong kỳ Thế Vận Hội, các phương tiện giao thông đô thị đã đóng vai trò chủ đạo trong thành công của đại hội thể thao này. Những doanh nghiệp đó cũng được huy động trong dự án xây dựng mạng lưới Paris Express, hiện là dự án lớn nhất về giao thông đô thị ở châu Âu cho đến hiện nay. Người ta cũng thấy những doanh nghiệp lớn này của Pháp trong tất cả các dự án tàu điện trên thế giới, như ở Cairo (Ai Cập), ở Medellín (Colombia), ở Rabat (Maroc)… Và tất cả đều đang phục vụ tại Hà Nội và dĩ nhiên chúng tôi mong muốn phát triển thêm trong những dự án mới mà chính phủ Việt Nam dự kiến tiến hành trong những năm tới ».Triển vọng hợp tác mới về giao thông vận tảiDự án khởi công năm 2009, theo kế hoạch hoàn thành năm 2015 nhưng nhiều lần lùi tiến độ và dự kiến hoàn thành năm 2027, riêng đoạn trên cao đã được khai thác thương mại từ tháng 08/2024. Tổng vốn đầu tư cũng bị tăng gấp đôi, từ hơn 18.000 tỉ đồng lên gần 36.000 tỉ đồng. Liệu những điểm này có trở thành một trở ngại trong khi Pháp cho biết sẵn sàng đồng hành với Việt Nam trong những dự án trong tương lai ? Trả lời thắc mắc của RFI Tiếng Việt, đại sứ Olivier Brochet giải thích :« Những dự án lớn này đều là những dự án vô cùng phức tạp ở khắp mọi nơi, phức tạp về mặt công nghệ, phức tạp trong việc triển khai công trường bởi vì cần phải xây dựng những công trường quy mô lớn ở một thành phố mà cuộc sống vẫn tiếp diễn theo nhịp độ thông thường, phức tạp về mặt cơ chế, thực hiện các quy định mới của Nhà nước thiết lập các hệ thống này. Vì tất cả những lý do tích tụ này dẫn đến những chậm trễ. Và tất cả các tuyến đường sắt đã được xây dựng đều bị chậm. Tuyến số 1 ở đây chẳng hạn cũng bị khởi công muộn. Tuyến mới ở thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, được hợp tác xây dựng với Nhật Bản, cũng bị trễ. Đây là việc bình thường vì cần phải có thời gian học tập. Điều quan trọng hiện nay là có thể sử dụng quãng thời gian học tập đó để tiết kiệm thời gian sau này, qua việc đã có những tác nhân hiểu rõ vấn đề, hiểu những trông đợi, nhu cầu của mỗi bên để có thể có những dự án tiến triển nhanh hơn, sớm mang lại kết quả và đến lúc đó sẽ cho phép làm chủ chi phí tốt hơn. Chính vì thế mà chúng tôi đã đề xuất với chính phủ Việt Nam là bắt đầu suy nghĩ luôn đến việc kéo dài tuyến số 3. Có nghĩa là không phải công trình ngầm đã được khởi công và đang tiến triển mà ngay từ bây giờ, nên bắt đầu chuẩn bị cho việc kéo dài tuyến. Bởi vì nếu dự tính sớm thì sẽ giúp triển khai công việc tiếp theo sau khi hoàn thành công trình ngầm và như vậy sẽ tránh được các chi phí bổ sung liên quan đến việc giải thể các công ty tham gia xây dựng tuyến số 3 ».Trong chuyến công du Pháp của chủ tịch nước Việt Nam kiêm tổng bí thư Tô Lâm từ ngày 03-07/10/2024, hai nước bày tỏ mong muốn tiếp tục hợp tác trong lĩnh vực giao thông vận tải hướng tới giảm phát thải carbon thông qua « Bản ghi nhớ hợp tác trong lĩnh vực Giao thông Vận tải ». Theo bộ trưởng Giao thông Vận tải Nguyễn Văn Thắng, « đây cũng là lĩnh vực mà Việt Nam hết sức quan tâm nhằm thực hiện các cam kết tại Hội nghị lần thứ 21 Công ước khung của Liên Hiệp Quốc về biến đổi khí hậu (COP21) và COP26 (phát thải ròng bằng 0 vào năm 2050) trong lĩnh vực giao thông vận tải ».Thực ra, theo trang Facebook Thông tin Chính phủ ngày 07/10, Việt Nam và Pháp đã phối hợp hoàn thành một số dự án trong lĩnh vực đường sắt, như hệ thống thông tin tín hiệu đường sắt đoạn Hà Nội - Vinh do tập đoàn Alstom và đối tác Việt Nam triển khai ; dự án Cải tạo và nâng cấp tuyến đường sắt Yên Viên - Lào Cai do Ngân hàng Phát triển châu Á và Pháp đồng tài trợ.Ngoài dự án đường sắt đô thị Nhổn - ga Hà Nội, bộ Giao thông Vận tải đã đề nghị Đại sứ quán Pháp tại Việt Nam và cơ quan AFD nghiên cứu cung cấp « Hỗ trợ kỹ thuật lập Báo cáo nghiên cứu tiền khả thi Dự án cải tạo, hiện đại hóa tuyến đường sắt Hà Nội - Hải Phòng », có xét đến tuyến đường sắt Lào Cai - Hà Nội - Hải Phòng được xây dựng mới trong tương lai. Báo Chính phủ ngày 04/11 cho biết Cục Đường sắt Việt Nam (trực thuộc bộ Giao thông Vận tải) đã trình hồ sơ Quy hoạch tuyến đường sắt Lào Cai - Hà Nội - Hải Phòng - Quảng Ninh đi qua 10 tỉnh/thành phố.Cơ quan AFD, hiện là nhà tài trợ song phương lớn nhất khu vực châu Âu của Việt Nam, cũng được kêu gọi tiếp tục trao đổi, tìm kiếm cơ hội hợp tác trong các dự án đường sắt tại Việt Nam thời gian tới. Ông Philippe Orliange, giám đốc Cơ quan Phát triển Pháp tại Việt Nam, khẳng định AFD sẵn sàng chia sẻ kinh nghiệm và hỗ trợ vốn vay cho Việt Nam trong việc xây dựng và phát triển đường sắt cao tốc, lĩnh vực mà Pháp có thế mạnh và Việt Nam đang đặc biệt quan tâm, mong muốn thực hiện trong thời gian tới.Liệu thành công của tuyến đường sắt đô thị số 3 Nhổn - ga Hà Nội tiếp thêm sức bật cho những dự án mới ? Dù sao, theo bản ghi nhớ ký tại Paris, Việt Nam và Pháp dự định hợp tác trong các lĩnh vực đường sắt, hàng hải và đường thủy nội địa ; tạo thuận lợi cho chuyển đổi năng lượng, giảm phát thải, tăng cường khả năng chống chịu và phục hồi, thích ứng với biến đổi khí hậu… Đây cũng là những lĩnh vực hợp tác truyền thống và rất năng động giữa hai nước từ nhiều năm qua.

Anger and consternation at the US election led to some protest songs. Loads of new releases, including a feature on the new Christy Moore CD, and a tip of the proverbial to Louis Riel on "his" day, with a tune played by Vancouver's Kathleen Nisbet (of Viper Central) - a direct descendant of the legendary Metis leader. Also, "The Boss" is coming to town next week, so a sprinkling of his songs too.

Host Alex Pierson speaks with Tom Korski, the Managing Editor of Blacklock's Reporter about Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault says his shifting claims from being ''non-status adoptive Cree'' to recently stating his adoptive mother is ''status Metis'' are a ''reflection of his family exploring their own history,'' Health Minister Mark Holland's Public Health Agency has failed an internal audit on conflicts of interest, the Department of Immigration in a ''Welcome to Canada'' guide advised foreigners to be prepared to book Airbnb rentals or resort to homeless shelters on arrival here.

There is an organization in Saskatoon that works to strengthen the economic and social conditions of our city's core neighbourhoods. It's called Quint Development Corporation and it's an organization full of amazing leaders like Kristen Thoms and Julia McCormick. Kristen is Quint's Executive Director and has been with the organization for 18 years. Julia is the Director of Operations with Quint and has called it home for 11 years. Together, they oversee a team that is helping people in the core neighbourhoods find meaningful employment, move into safe and affordable housing, and spark a sense of pride in their neighbourhoods. How are they doing this you ask?I found out when Kristen and Julia took for me a walk through neighbourhoods like Riversdale and Pleasant Hill where they showed me the different ways Quint is helping people. We ended our walk in Optimist Park where you will hear the pride Kristen and Julia have in their work and why it means so much to them. They are both kind and warm people who love helping others and are truly invested in helping people who call the core neighbourhoods home improve their lives in meaningful ways. I learned so much in this conversation and I know you will too. You can listen to YXE Underground wherever you find your favourite podcasts including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Goodpods or on the website: yxeunderground.comPlease feel free to leave a 5-star review if you like what you hear.You can follow YXE Underground on social media.

Ray and Glory St. Germain are the co-authors of a 50-year love story. This week Glory joins Rosanna for an intimate conversation about the legacy of Ray St. Germain, all of which was driven by his love of music and love of family. Ray St Germain started out as a country and rockabilly musician in the 50s, sharing the stage with the likes of Johnny Cash and Kenny Rogers. At a time when many Metis people kept their identities quiet, Ray was loud and proud of being Metis -- and he wasn't afraid to sing about it!

Richard Marion knows that: with the political climate threatening inclusivity of society in some ways, it's even more important, out there, that he only wants people identifying themselves, being proud of their identities. Going with our September theme, we're beginning this one by talking education for the blind, for our guest. This week on Outlook we're speaking with first-time guest on the show, Richard Marion, from Richmond, British Columbia, but he wasn't always living in Metro Vancouver. We hear from Richard about the culture shock of going from the third grade at the school for the blind to a much bigger classroom environment in his local, mainstream school for grade four. He shares about bullying, the white cane and braille skills he was given, while trying to make use of his residual sight. Richard shares about his intersectionalities which include disability, coming out as a part of the 2SLGBTQQAI+ community, and discovering his Metis heritage. We talk audio description not transferring across the border. Marion was the one who got the Vancouver Pride Society to have live audio description for the Pride Parade and then would pass the baton to VocalEye. He applied for Metis Citizenship, in 2019 receiving his Metis Nation British Columbia status card, after childhood summers going back to the Manitoba he was born into. Since he's gone on to be hired to audit the accessibility of the Assembly of First Nations national general meetings. Finally he talks about his touring with a group of musicians and his recent bucket list train travel from Vancouver to Toronto, sharing about the friendliness of the Via Rail staff along the way.

The effects of government policies like the Indian Act and the residential school system are still felt by Indigenous people today. Tanya Talaga explores this enduring legacy in her new book, "The Knowing," in which she retells Canadian history through an Indigenous lens, and tracks her family history all the way back to her great-great-grandmother, Annie.

Is Amazon trying to be like Temu and Amazon's new version of ChatGPT? This and more on this week's episode of the Weekly Buzz. Bradley Sutton: How cool is that? Pretty cool, I think. Hello everybody, and welcome to another episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast by Helium 10. I'm your host, Bradley Sutton, and this is the show. That is our Helium 10 Weekly Buzz, where we give you a rundown of all the news stories that are going on in the Amazon, Walmart, e-commerce world. We highlight the latest new feature alerts from Helium 10, and we review a training tip of the week that'll give you serious strategies for serious sellers of any level in the e-commerce world. Now, today, our host is going to be Keri Miller. So, Keri, take it away and let us know what's buzzing. Carrie Miller: Okay, let's go ahead and get into it. The first thing I want to talk about is the Prime Day dates were just announced. So Amazon officially announced Prime Day 2024 dates, which is going to be July 16th and 17th. And now something interesting about these dates is that Bradley Sutton actually on this very show, he actually predicted that Prime Day would be on these exact dates way back in April. So let's go ahead and go back to that clip and show Bradley's predictions for Prime Day. Bradley Sutton: Amazon hasn't necessarily announced the new Prime Day, but I'm like 95% sure I was able to figure out when it's going to be All right, so bear with me. Here's why I think that and by the way, spoiler alert, I that's just my rough guess. Carrie Miller: So there you have it. Bradley predicted these exact dates for Prime Day, so how cool is that? All right up next we have Walmart. Okay, so Walmart announced their largest deals ever, which is going to be from July 8th to July 11th. Now this is coming off of Walmart Plus week. That was last week, so during these days you can actually expect discounts on pretty much everything. Walmart Plus members are actually going to have early access to shop the best deals of the season by beginning at noon Eastern on July 8th, which is actually five hours before the rest of the public actually gets access, and this, I believe, is probably in competition with Amazon's prime day. So they're doing a lot of great deals over at Walmart. So not only as a consumer, that's gonna be helpful, but for sellers, it helps to attract a lot of people to the site, so really good for everyone all around. Carrie Miller: Okay, next, now this one. This next piece of news is a doozy. Okay, so Amazon plans to launch a section on its shopping site featuring cheap items that ship directly to overseas consumers from warehouses in China. Okay, so this seems to be a response to sites like Temu and Shein, and I actually asked some sellers what they thought about this move and they said they believe that Amazon is being more of a follower and not innovating and creating their own path. So they're basically trying to maybe catch up with Temu and Shein. I'm not really sure. Some other. Some other sellers also said that they think there will be an initial negative reaction, but buyers will probably try it out. So I'm curious to know what you think. Do you think buyers are going to be excited about this? I'm not really sure. Someone else mentioned that they think this could be what puts dollar stores kind of fully out of business. We've seen some of the dollar stores going out of business recently and they think that this would be a kind of a direct competition to more of the dollar store quality, so that that is another interesting perspective. Carrie Miller: The products in this program will be delivered from China directly from China to the consumer between nine and 11 days. So a big question in my mind would be will Amazon allow American third party sellers to drop ship from warehouses in China as well? Some sellers already store their products in China in warehouses, like with SKU Drop, and it's definitely something that they could do. Amazon said they are going to start signing up Chinese sellers in this summer and they're going to begin accepting inventory in the fall. This article also highlights that sellers in this program will be able to produce small batches to test the demand for any new products that they launch. So that's something else that we know that we have questions about. You know, a lot of third party sellers like to do the same thing. Will third party sellers have the same luxuries to be able to do this without losing rank, things like that? So really a lot of questions in my mind with this new development. Carrie Miller: This article also questions if these packages that are coming directly to a consumer from China, if they will be exempt from US customs, since there is a provision that exempts individual packages that are valued at less than $800 from taxation. Now, third-party sellers, you know, if they're not allowed to do this, they still have to pay the taxes that are coming in. You know, when we ship goods in from China. So that kind of defeats the whole purpose of the taxation there. It really is going to hinder, maybe, third party American sellers. So that's something to really think about too. All right, so I'm really curious to know what you all think. What do you think? This is a good thing? This is a bad thing. Are you enraged? Are you happy about it? What do you think? Please let us know in the comments. Carrie Miller: Okay, so that leads me to my next piece of news, and that is that Target and Shopify are partnering to offer a selection of targets Popular merchants, such as their true classic and caden lane, to offer their products on target plus. The new partnership with Shopify will expand target plus and will give consumers more options to purchase from these selected brands. Target will also be the first mass retailer to work with Shopify to bring select merchants products into their physical stores in the months to come. If you want to apply to sell online and target, you can actually go and apply on target plus through the marketplace connect app. I really do believe that, with everything that's happening, all the changes that are going on, I do think it's really important to diversify. So you know, getting on target and starting to sell on target might be a really good option for a lot of third party sellers. So check it out, if you haven't already done that, because it's potentially a good opportunity to not only sell on target but to get in target stores. All right. Carrie Miller: So the next piece of news is a case study out of Amazon and this is for buy with prime. Now, this is a company called Hydralight, and Buy with Prime showed how they actually helped this particular brand increase shopper conversion and bring in new customers. The study highlights and they have it down here a little bit it's highlighting 16% increase in conversion rate, 37% of new customers purchased through Buy with Prime and 90% of the Buy with Prime customers are new orders. So that's not even the most interesting part, though. I know if you haven't added this button to your site, it's probably a good idea to do so. But the most interesting thing is I actually saw a post from Destiny Wishun from Better Media on LinkedIn and she actually showed a screenshot of these buy with prime merchants and their ads on the homepage actually directing straight to their actual site. So they're direct to customer site, which is really interesting. So I think they might be testing this out and I'm not sure if it was actually an ad or if, what the whole situation was, but there is. If you're interested, you can look on her LinkedIn. There is a whole clip of it and she shows how these actual little icons on the homepage are leading customers to the direct to consumer sites. So that could be a really good motivation and reason to participate in Buy with Prime, if you haven't already done it. I think there's a lot of evidence to show that Buy with Prime is really helpful for your conversion rate on your own site. But then if Amazon is going to start promoting your products on actual Amazon and directing them to your website, that is something that could be really amazing. So my question is what do you all think about this, and have you added the Buy With Prime button to your website? Leave comments below on that. Carrie Miller: All right, so let's get into the last piece of news, and that is that Amazon is working on an AI chatbot, internally called Metis, to rival OpenAI's ChatGPT. Okay, the chatbot is going to be accessible through a web browser and it's going to be powered by one of the company's internal AI models called Olympus. Olympus is supposedly even more powerful than Amazon's publicly available AI model, which is called Titan. Now Metis can generate conversational texts and image-based answers, provide source links, suggest follow-up questions and generate images. Amazon also reportedly wants to use retrieval, augmented generation or the RAG method for Metis, meaning the chatbot would be able to reference knowledge outside of its original training data and therefore could provide more up-to-date answers. Metis is reportedly also meant to be an AI agent, I guess, kind of your like personal agent, I guess, capable of completing tasks such as turning on lights and booking flights. Carrie Miller: So the question I have for all of you is with this change, do you think that more people are going to be doing voice search through Alexa? Do you think this kind of AI integration is going to change the way shoppers find products on Amazon and other websites? I do believe it is going to kind of change the context and way people are searching for products, but I'm really curious to know what you all think out there. All right, in our next segment, we are going to be talking about the latest rollout within Atomic and this is really important. Going to be located in Atomic and you're going to go to the dashboard and then scroll all the way to the bottom where it says brand performance. So what is being shown here is brand performance data and what you're going to be able to see is you can see the number of brand searches, you can see the detail page views and you can see the customer conversion rate. You can see the new percent of new to brand customers. You can see the shopper engagement rate. You can see all this great information all in one place and it's just really giving sellers more information that they need to make better data-driven decisions in their pay-per-click advertising. So it's going to allow you to see category comparisons how many clicks are within your category, how many detail page views are within that category and how you actually compare to the average. So I think this is huge in helping you to make better data-driven decisions in your pay-per-click advertising. Carrie Miller: Okay, so let's go ahead and get into this week's training tip of the week Now. I think this is one of the coolest things for Prime Day that you could utilize to help you make lots and lots of money this Prime Day, and it's going into historical data. So what I'm going to do, I'm just gonna go ahead and I'm gonna share my screen and show you how this strategy works and how it can help you to make tons of money this next Prime Day. Okay, so I did an example and I took an ASIN from Amazon and this is the Tyneco vacuum, because I know it does pretty well on Prime Day every year. I know I've purchased one and many people I know have purchased one, so I wanted to use this one as an example, and what we're going to do is I just did a reverse ASIN search on it and then what we're going to do is we're going to go into historical trend. Carrie Miller: Now, once I click on historical trend, you can see all of these months. This goes back 24 months of data and what I want to do is I want to go back to the month of July of 2023, which is last year's prime day. So I'm going to click on that pillar right there with July of 2023. And then I'm going to click on apply filters. Now this is going to show basically all of the keywords that this ASIN was ranking for organic and sponsored and you can also see the search volume. So if we look through here, you can see their organic rank in here for a lot of these different words. Now, one thing that I like to do is okay, I can see these great keywords and where they were ranked and all of that, but I want to look at Prime Day specific keywords. So I look at, I go into the filter phrases containing and I put in Prime and I hit apply filters. Carrie Miller: Now this is going to show you all of the kind of Prime Day related terms that you're going to be able to utilize and maybe do pay-per-click advertising on, and you could even do an evergreen cap campaign on this, maybe even throughout the next year, to make sure that you can kind of start ranking and stay on top of these. But we've got Prime Day vacuum here and that they are organically ranked 230. Okay, they're not even doing any sponsored ads. This has an 8,500 search volume. That definitely looks like it's wide open. If you hover over this you can actually see who is ranked in the top for that keyword. But if you go down you can see all of these different keywords where this main competitor is not even ranking organically in the first page for these keywords and they're not even doing many sponsored ads. They've got one sponsored ad here, one there as well, so they're kind of probably just guessing. Carrie Miller: But you can utilize this historical search volume, historical searches, to do some exact campaigns and start, you know, making sure to capitalize on these keyword searches, cause it looks like a lot of people are doing even just stick vacuum cleaner, cordless, prime day deals got 1800 searches. So you know really good opportunities to do some exact campaigns to really win all of this where lots and lots of traffic is going to be. So if you haven't already checked out the historical trend, go ahead and check it out. It is an incredible tool and I do believe it can make you lots of money. Right now, some of those keywords are very, very low search volume, and so if you start advertising now, you could potentially get to the top of the search and start ranking for those before prime day. You still have some time, so go ahead and start trying to dominate those incredible prime day keywords. All right, and that is all that we have for this week's episode of the Weekly Buzz, and we will see you again next week to see what's buzzing. Bye everyone.
