Tragically Hip Day in Toronto. 'The Luxury' out of the gate, a tour debut in the encore, and a family of four in seats a text message unlocked.DescriptionAugust 10th, 2016. The Air Canada Centre - the first of three Toronto nights on the Man Machine Poem Tour, and the day Ernie from Denville, New Jersey woke up in his hotel room, flipped on the news, and heard the mayor declare it Tragically Hip Day before he had even gotten out of bed. He had flown up alone for his first-ever Canadian show, eleven club nights deep. The city was already celebrating.Then the lights come up and it is 'The Luxury'. Ernie had waited eleven shows to hear it. Jeff from Vaughan, following this band since 1992, can count the times he has heard it live on one hand. Two songs later comes 'Fiddler's Green', and Scott from Huntsville is looking at grown men crying as far as he can see, understanding exactly how the night is going to go. Third song in. They could do whatever they wanted.The roads in are half the story. Everybody got the same email on the Tuesday morning after the May long weekend - the news of Gord Downie's diagnosis, and a tour nobody knew how to feel about. Scott locked down Kingston hotel rooms before tickets even went on sale, then sweated out the Ticketmaster scramble for four Toronto seats - the morning after watching John Mann and Spirit of the West play a fundraiser at the Horseshoe Tavern, two Canadian heartbreaks stacked onto one walk home. Jeff sent a hockey dad four paragraphs about his life following The Hip, hoping to bring his wife and two kids, and got the answer every fan dreams about: they're yours. Which is how, during 'Fifty-Mission Cap', with Bill Barilko's banner up in the rafters, Jeff came to be filming a verse and then swinging the camera around to catch both his kids singing it back.There is a lot of night in here. 'Nautical Disaster' landing in the first encore as a tour debut (confirmed via setlist.fm, and backed by the notebook Ernie filled out that same evening). The crowd carrying the Toronto line in 'Bobcaygeon', the way Scott remembers it. The “Phantom Power” pair that closed the building down. And then the back half of the conversation jumps ahead to August 20th - Scott behind the stage in Kingston, not breathing until the scanner turned his print-off ticket green, Jeff front row in front of Robby Baker for show number 93, and Ernie back in New Jersey with the Kingston broadcast on the big screen and his son beside him.Somewhere in the middle of it, Scott sums up the entire summer in one sentence: “I've never been so excited for something I didn't want to happen.” So there's that.The panelErnie from Denville, New Jersey - eleven Hip shows in clubs from New York City to Syracuse before this one, his first in Canada and his first in an arena, solo in section 313 and never once feeling alone. His daughter has since become one of The Hip's biggest listeners on Apple Music. He also made a horror movie, We Can't Leave, streaming on Amazon Prime (sequel already in the hopper).Scott from Huntsville - travels to Hip shows with his wife and his oldest concert buddy, and hit Toronto Nights 1 and 3 plus Kingston on the final tour, where his kids texted mid-show to check on him. He chairs the Huntsville Festival of the Arts, a year-round festival bringing Canadian acts to Muskoka - huntsvillefestivalofthearts.com.Jeff from Vaughan - following The Hip since 1992, with Kingston set to be show number 93. He did London, multiple Toronto nights, Hamilton, and Kingston on the final run in a custom “Live Between Us” shirt, and brought his wife and both kids to Toronto Night 1. David Bastedo photographed the four of them in their row and sent it to him after the show.Come say hiThe Gathering in Kingston, August 20th to 23rd - a mixer at the Merchant Pub, Choir! Choir! Choir! in Springer Market Square, a listening party for “The Tragically Hip Live, July 22 - August 20, 2016”, a Long Time Running screening, and a farewell brunch at Morrison's. Email jd@tthpods.com to get on the list.GEDfest Toronto - Saturday, October 17th at the Horseshoe Tavern with Grace, 2, raising money for Campfire Circle and the Murphy Family Fund in Precision Medicine in Pancreatic Cancer. Yes, the same room John Mann played the night before the on-sale. That building keeps showing up. Tickets: facebook.com/GEDfestYYZClosingThanks to Ernie, Scott, and Jeff for bringing August 10th back - the flag, the notebook, the kids checking in on their dads. The Tragically Hip play the same building two nights later. Toronto Night 2, August 12th, brand new panel.

Check out the new Smart Travel PodcastThis episode is supported by Smart Travel a new podcast from Nerd Wallet. Travel smarter — and spend less — with help from NerdWallet. Follow Smart Travel wherever you get your podcasts. Smart Travel Podcast Show Notes and Episode OverviewIn this episode, we travel deep into British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest — a 6.4‑million‑hectare expanse of fjords, islands, river estuaries, and ancient forest — to witness one of the planet's rarest animals: the white‑furred Kermode bear, known to the Kitasoo Xai'xais Nation as the Spirit Bear. Fewer than 150 are believed to exist, making any encounter feel improbable, almost mythical.Our guest, travel writer James Ross, recounts his journey aboard the historic tugboat MV Swell, an intimate expedition vessel operated by Maple Leaf Adventures. His story takes us from the docks of Kitimat into remote estuaries, salmon‑choked creeks, and wildlife‑rich channels where bears, whales, sea lions, and otters animate one of Earth's most dynamic ecosystems.Key Moments from the EpisodeThe Search for the Spirit BearJames describes the quiet, reverent approach to Riordan Creek on Gribbell Island, guided by Marvin Robinson of the Kitasoo Xai'xais Nation. The group waits silently on viewing platforms as the last salmon fight upstream — a ritual that draws bears from the forest.Then it happens. A pale figure emerges from the trees:“A bear suddenly appeared, its creamy fur luminous against the dark shoreline.”The Spirit Bear moves with deliberate grace, fishing with what James calls “an old ceremony,” lifting her head with a salmon in her jaws as water streams from her muzzle. She glances toward the group — aware, but unbothered — before returning to the hunt.A Brush with Black BearsUpstream, James encounters a black bear sow and cub approaching within ten feet. Marvin's advice: stay calm. The bears pass by, focused entirely on salmon. It's a moment of exhilaration and humility in the presence of wild animals.Life Aboard the SwellThe Swell becomes home for the eight‑day voyage — a restored 88‑foot tugboat with six cabins and a crew of five, including a whale scientist and a South African chef. Days unfold with kayaking, wildlife viewing, gourmet meals, and nights spent anchored under star‑filled skies.Wildlife EverywhereThe rainforest reveals its full cast:Grizzlies feeding in river estuariesRiver otters slipping through shallowsSeals and sea lions hauled out on rocksPods of dolphins surfing the bowBald eagles, osprey, goshawks, murrelets, auklets, turnstones, shearwaters, cormorantsHumpback whales bubble‑net feedingOrcas surrounding a sea lion colony in a dramatic natural standoffJames recalls the crew calling it “whale soup.”Conservation and the Future of the RainforestThe Great Bear Rainforest was nearly lost to industrial logging. Its protection came through a rare alliance between conservationists, Indigenous communities, and the timber industry — “one of the most significant conservation successes in modern Canadian history.”But new threats loom: increased tanker traffic, noise, and ship strikes in whale feeding grounds. The balance between land and sea remains fragile.A Journey That Stays With YouAs the Swell heads toward Bella Bella on the final morning, James watches sea otters drifting in kelp, mothers cradling pups on their bellies. He closes with a sentiment that defines the episode:“I knew this was one journey I would carry with me long after it ended.”About Maple Leaf AdventuresMaple Leaf Adventures offers small‑ship expedition cruises throughout coastal British Columbia and Alaska. Their philosophy: “People protect what they love, and you can't love something until you've experienced it.”Learn more at MapleLeafAdventures.com or call 1‑888‑599‑5323.GuestJames Ross — travel, outdoor adventure, and ranch writer based in Muskoka, Ontario.Check out all of our other travel podcasts from aroundthe worldThis podcast is part of the Voyascape Network, a collection of some of the world's best travel podcasts.

The Dock has been around since 2015. It's an invite-only conference where tech, business and political leaders gather to talk. This year it was at a billionaire real estate magnate's cottage estate in Ontario's Muskoka region. And Prime Minister Mark Carney attended for part of the three-day conference. Guests are asked not to talk about what happens there, but business reporters Tim Kiladze and Sean Silcoff managed to report details about who goes, what ideas get suggested to the government and a dramatic moment involving Shopify CEO and co-founder Tobi Lütke.

1207. This week, we look at the hidden linguistic history of Ontario with Sali Tagliamonte. We look at why euphemisms like "golly" and "gosh" are going the way of the dinosaur, the surprising connection between Northern Ontario and the Southern U.S., and how Canadian words like "gas bar" and "Muskoka chair" finally made it into the Oxford English Dictionary.

On this episode of the Foil Life Podcast, Luc Moore sits down with Charlie Newlands of SWS Muskoka (E-Foil Sports Muskoka) for a school-and-travel deep dive into e-foiling and multi-sport water fun in the heart of Ontario cottage country.Charlie shares how the family-run operation runs three locations centered on Lake Rosseau in Port Carling—main marina base, JW Marriott partnerships, and his own dock—offering Flight Board e-foils (Softop 2, Series 6, Flight Jet 2), wake foiling, wake surfing, water skiing, kids camps, cottage clinics, boat and jet-ski rentals, and more. They cover the beginner-friendly progression (stomach → knees → stand, controller unlocks, slow plowing before speed and foil lift), new rental program details, safety and licensing realities (e-foils treated more like SUPs), conditions on the Muskoka lakes versus open Georgian Bay water, and the full range of local experiences that turn a lesson into a complete Muskoka adventure.Episode Highlights:- Muskoka as a destination—flat-water learning, nearby Algonquin/Gwangan Park hiking and wildlife, Northern Lights, dining, boat cruises, and why Toronto is only two hours away- Lesson structure for all levels: one-on-one, groups, private cottage visits, and the new “rent and take it to the cottage” option- Exact first-lesson flow—helmet/life jacket, safety video, controller, progressive stance, instructor on a second board, and why e-foil lift feels different from tow or wing- Full multi-sport offering: wake foil, wake surf, water ski, kids camps, MasterCraft clinics, and Tuesday-night water-ski shows in Bala- Family-run marina identity, dealer affiliations (Flight Board service center, O'Brien, Kawasaki, Legend, Edgewater), and end-of-season demo and sale plans- Cold-water performance notes (Flight Boards love Canadian temps) and early-season ice/slush riding storiesA practical, enthusiastic conversation packed with real teaching tips, local knowledge, and genuine excitement for getting more people on the water—whether it's their first e-foil session or a full cottage-country multi-sport day.Stay tuned for more great episodes, including the return of additional guests and continued adventures with host Luc Moore!Visit: www.swsmuskoka.com / Visit: https://www.efoilsportsmuskoka.com/ Instagram: @swsmuskoka

God gave to the church the worlds most powerful admirative system. Nothing man made can compete. However the church, in its wisdom, followed the blind leaders of this world and took up the teachings of this worlds experts, thereby permitting the world to defeat it and marginalize it. Yet all the church needs to do is to do what God told them to do at the beginning.

Jack and Hanna reflect on “learning to love where you are,” samadarshana (equal vision), and the nourishment of community, kirtan, and meaningful conversation. Topics discussed: Being in the “belly of summer”: rest, water, mountains, and the reset in nature Receiving vs. striving: accepting what is, divine timing, and creativity that flows Conversation as teachers: shared meals and stories that guide the path Retreats, seasons, and roles: cycling between giving and receiving Join the Happy Jack Yoga community:

Muskoka Report June 26 2026 by Hunters Bay Radio

— Many people today are exhausted—not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. We move through our days carrying stress, anxiety, old wounds, endless responsibilities, and the quiet feeling that somewhere along the way we lost touch with our vitality, our creativity, and perhaps even ourselves. But what if exhaustion is not simply a lack of energy? What if it is a signal inviting us to reconnect with something deeper—our passions, our intuition, our authentic nature, and the creative spirit that exists within each of us? Today, we'll explore what it truly means to love your life—not because everything is perfect, but because you have learned to embrace yourself fully, listen to your inner wisdom, and live in alignment with who you really are. We'll talk about emotional healing, resilience, creativity, intuition, and the surprising ways that self-expression can help us access parts of ourselves that words alone often cannot reach. We'll also explore how following our passions, trusting our hearts, and becoming more present to our inner experience can lead to greater vitality, purpose, and joy. At its core, this conversation is an invitation to move beyond merely surviving and begin thriving—to reconnect with the energy, creativity, and aliveness that have been within you all along.

MUSKOKA DRAWDOWN GORD MILLER JUNE 6 2026

Every spring, Canadians convince themselves a lakefront cottage will "pay for itself" on Airbnb. Most won't. In this episode, Nick and Dan run the actual 2026 math — Royal LePage's $604K national median, Muskoka's slipping $950K, Atlantic Canada's 11.8% surge — and break down the $44K-a-year true carrying cost nobody mentions at the showing. They explain why the short-term rental thesis is dead in most of BC and Ontario (with a new 2026 wrinkle: Kelowna's exemption), how Muskoka's by-law 2025-049 now forces three dark weeks in peak summer. Plus the opportunity-cost comparison that makes most cottage buyers wince, and the five scenarios where buying one still makes sense. The takeaway: a cottage can be a great purchase. It's almost never a great investment. Know which one you're making. EDMONTON MULTIPLEX EVENT Try it NordVPN risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!

A satirical look at this weeks news

WOODCHESTER VILLA, BRACEBRIDGE, ONTARIO - … No, not birds as in the animal, but Bird, as in Henry James Bird.  A Mill owner and pioneer of the quaint Muskoka Town.  How tragedy led to his unique Octangular home … and the family he tried leaving behind.---COMMENT AND READ ARTICLES CONTACT FORM*INTRO/OUTRO MUSIC BY ANDREW MROZOWSKI

Send us Fan MailSabrina and Dave of Rosewood Avenue are a husband and wife country duo from Northern Ontario. And when they say Northern Ontario, they mean it. Think past Muskoka ... past Sudbury ... and keep going. They're near Timmins, home of Shania Twain, in a small town called Matheson.They've been making music together for 17 years, but it's only been the last five or six that they've been pushing it on a professional level. Sabrina spent nine years teaching music before making the leap. Dave's always had music in his blood, with a cousin who plays lead guitar for Johnny Reid. Together, they've built something that sounds like Northern Ontario feels: honest, warm, and rooted.The band name? A little bit of a love story. Sabrina's maiden name, Charleboix, has "bois" in it, which means wood in French. Dave always bought her roses. And Devonshire Avenue is the street where they first met as neighbours, connected by a very 2000s introduction through MSN Messenger.We talked about how they balance being a couple, co-writers, and business partners, what it was like for Dave to go from strictly guitar player to vocalist, why they haven't left their small town and don't plan to anytime soon, the Ontario country community and what it's meant to their career, and the emotional experience of hearing "Leavin' Town" on the radio for the first time.Rosewood Avenue's current single "Leavin' Town" is at Canadian country radio now, sitting in the top 50 and climbing. We're so excited to welcome you back for Season 5 of On The Porch with Front Porch Music.

A two-part series | “Mr. Wonderful” built an empire on bluntness and being the reality TV villain we love to hate. So when his speedboat collided with another boat on Muskoka's "Billionaire's Row" - leaving two people dead, the public was ready to assume the worst of him.Early reporting - and Kevin O'Leary's own response to the tragedy - sparked suspicion that he'd “thrown his wife under the hull”, and was using his wealth and influence to control the narrative.In this series, we go back to the summer of 2019 to trace the chain of events that ended in tragedy on Lake Joseph, examine all the evidence, and explore why conspiracy theories continue to thrive long after the case was legally closed.---------------------------------------------------------IMPORTANT:– If you know anyone related to this case, please respect their privacy.– This series does not frame this incident as a "crime" - the charges ultimately fell under the Canada Shipping Act.– This series has been pieced together from the public record, including court documents, online news sources and daily trial reporting.– Our intention is to look beyond the headlines, rumours and conspiracy theories surrounding a highly publicized boating tragedy, and carefully examine the evidence to better understand what happened. – Kristi Lee is not a lawyer, but a member of the general public reviewing this case through the lens of the open court principle.---------------------------------------------------------Part 2 will be available to all in a week.

Suzy Sanchez is a 21-year-old pre-nursing student at BYU whose journey has taken her from the mountains near Mexico City to the scenic wilderness of Muskoka, Canada. Suzy shares how her childhood in Mexico, surrounded by family and nature, shaped her identity and why she views her younger brother as her "best friend." Listeners will find inspiration in Susy's unique path to nursing, which began when her father, a surgical nurse, took her to witness live surgeries at age 15 to see if she was "squeamish." She discusses her fascination with the human body as a perfect creation of Heavenly Father and her desire to serve others through healthcare. The interview also dives deep into Susy's spiritual development, including:Strengthening her faith in Canada: How living alone in a place with few Church members forced her to rely solely on her relationship with God.The "Mission" of daily life: Why she believes everyone has a unique mission to share kindness, whether or not they wear a missionary badge.Finding miracles in the mundane: A relatable story about overcoming self-doubt during a difficult organic chemistry exam and learning to see God's hand in everyday life.Finally, Suzy offers a moving message for her future descendants, reminding them of their divine souls and the importance of never forgetting their origins or their covenants. Tune in to hear why Susy describes the members of the Westfield Second Ward as "angels" and how she finds joy in the talents of those around her.

In this Legacy Series conversation, I sit down with Rebecca Ogilvie, founder of The Detour Co. Muskoka, to unpack what it really looks like to build a product-based brand rooted in integrity, intuition, and energetic alignment.

In This Episode: Why energy speaks before your marketing ever does How small, intentional rituals rewire confidence and self-trust The link between self-care, self-respect, and identity What motherhood revealed about intuition, protection, and leadership Building a product brand from intention instead of pressure How nature mirrors self-acceptance and compassion What it means to create a business with integrity and longevity SHOP THE DETOUR CO ✨ Free shipping for your next order!

Toronto, ON – Canadian singer and guitarist C.ROSS (Chad Ross) has announced his new solo record Future Site of C.ROSS, out October 22nd, 2025 on Atlanta's Echodelick Records. Ross has long been a fixture in Canada's psych and indie-rock underground. Known as the singer/guitarist for heavy psych rockers Quest for Fire (Tee Pee Records), space rock explorers Comet Control (Tee Pee), and as a member of the legendary garage rock band The Deadly Snakes (In The Red), Ross has also toured internationally with Vancouver's Pink Mountaintops and released acoustic-driven solo work as Nordic Nomadic (Blue Fog, Tee Pee). On Future Site of C.ROSS, Ross leans deeper into his unique blend of fuzzy psych-folk and cosmic rock, pairing raw songwriting with expansive production. The 7-song album was recorded, produced, and mixed by Joshua Wells (Destroyer, Lightning Dust, Black Mountain) at The Mango Pit in Chicago, with Wells also contributing drums and keys. Additional recording and production were handled by Ross in Muskoka, Ontario. Guest musicians include Aaron Goldstein (pedal steel) and Eiyn Sof (backing vocals). “I started working on the songs for this record right after Skull Creator was released in 2022,” says Ross. “The tail end of the pandemic was on the horizon and I was still in hermit mode with my acoustic guitar, living in the woods in Ontario with my family. This is the second record I've done with Josh Wells. I flew down to Chicago with a handful of acoustic songs and we managed to put everything together rather quickly at his studio. We worked at it over a year, sending ideas back and forth from Chicago to my studio in Ontario. What transpired was a really nice extension of the first record.” With echoes of Judee Sill, Duke Garwood, Syd Barrett, and Dead Meadow, Future Site of C.ROSS is both grounded and cosmic – balancing fuzzed-out riffs, pedal steel textures, and delicate acoustics. The lead single “Plant Your Eyes” is described by Ross as: “…about the things your eyes can't see. The constant vibration of the unknown. It's kind of this absurd idea that your eyes can be thought of as seeds, that grow colourful light. I tried to channel some deep Crazy Horse fuzzed-out riffage and some delicate acoustics – all the ingredients for a healthy garden.” D I S C O V E R Bandcamp: https://nxnx.bandcamp.com/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/cxrossx?igsh=MWdoM2Y5bm1oaGxkYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmmYibPZPqsM6tp6c5gVTpgSpotify:https://open.spotify.com/artist/2NSh2rOc62ImboBTgowQMg Checkout my YouTube Channel with long form interviews from the Subversives | the History of Lowest of the Low. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9d1VSeOHYuxFWKuRdmn9j8UTW6AHwS_fAlso my Weekly Tour Vlog is up an live on the YouTubeshttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9d1VSeOHYuwphwhc4zd0VgY66f1OUQZp Pledge monthly with Patreon https://www.patreon.com/apologueShop Apologue products at http://apologue.ca/shopCheck out new Four Square Here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/foursquare/brighton-beach-ephttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/foursquare/seven-oh-sevenhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/foursquare/industry-at-home–21st-anniversary-remix-remasteredhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/foursquare/when-weeks-were-weekends
