On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Dragon's Den star and investor Brett Wilson makes a bold prediction: former Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault won't survive the year. Brett joins Candice to talk about how the Liberals are trying to reinvent themselves under Mark Carney — but can't seem to shake the Trudeau-era dogma that made them unappealing to Canadians in the first place. Also, Premier Danielle Smith's Alberta Next town halls are officially underway. Her panel is touring the province over the next two months, asking Albertans six big questions — including whether Alberta should withdraw from the Canada Pension Plan, take over immigration, or even lead a push to amend the Constitution. Candice and Brett break down the first two stops in Red Deer and Sherwood Park, where hundreds of attendees showed up to demand more autonomy — and in some cases, outright separation. One Red Deer resident told the panel: “There is one question, and one question only, that needs to be on a referendum: 'Do you support Alberta exiting Canadian confederation?'” Next, they discuss the Premiers meetings in Muskoka, Ontario, and Prime Minister Mark Carney's emergency meetings to discuss President Trump's tariffs. Finally, they discuss the longest ballot initiative and how nearly 200 candidates will be running in the upcoming by-election where Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre will run to regain a seat in the House of Commons after losing his Ottawa-area riding in the recent general election.

Recorded in the big city, but this is meant to be listened to up in Muskoka, or at the very least while floating in a pool, or perhaps just sitting around a backyard bonfire (or sipping on a coffee or tea in your favourite comfy chair).

Send us a textEver wondered what makes wildlife photography truly ethical? Jesse Villemaire takes us deep into the heart of this question, revealing how respecting wildlife comes before capturing the perfect shot. As co-founder of Follow Me North with his wife Susan, Jesse shares captivating stories from Algonquin Park's wilderness and South African safaris while unveiling the philosophy that guides their intimate photography workshops."The wildlife comes first, the photo comes next," Jesse emphasizes, explaining how maintaining proper distance and understanding animal behavior creates not just better photographs, but more meaningful encounters. Through heartfelt examples—including a devastating story about a habituated wolf—he illustrates why "baiting" wildlife causes harm that far outweighs any photographic benefit.Jesse's personal journey from tattoo studio owner in Cambridge to wildlife photographer in Muskoka reveals how nature became his essential reset button. The story of meeting his wife through Instagram's Algonquin Park hashtag (culminating in their wedding on an island in Lake of Two Rivers) demonstrates how shared passion for wilderness can forge life's most meaningful connections. Their volunteer work with Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary further showcases their commitment to conservation beyond the lens.From their viral "Santa in a Red Canoe" series to their humorous "Sorry Algonquin" Instagram project pairing stunning images with one-star park reviews, Jesse's creative approach invites others into nature's beauty with both reverence and playfulness. His South African photo tours—where participants might find themselves surrounded by 21 lions—offer transformative experiences that "change you" on a fundamental level.Ready to experience wildlife photography through a more mindful lens?

It started in Muskoka. A room full of leaders. And then—that moment. I saw it. A shift. A spark. A lightbulb. Rob Horst had an aha moment so powerful, it lit up the entire room. That's when I knew—I needed to have him on the Better the Pond Pondcast. Rob is the National Sales Manager of Energy & Sustainability at Graybar Canada, a company with an extraordinary culture and coast-to-coast impact. But Rob's story isn't just about his title. It's about what happens when instinct meets courage—when one person speaks up with a new idea, and ends up reshaping the direction of a national company. In this episode, we talk about: Leadership that empowers instead of controls Flying in V formation—and knowing when it's your turn to lead The lessons passed down from a life steeped in construction, resilience, and quiet strength What it means to fail forward, speak up, and build something bigger than yourself Oh, and he also won the James Pond Award.

Glen Sutherland hosts Canadian Investing in the US with guest Dave Mastronardi. Dave runs a real estate investment firm in Canada focused on the southern US, particularly Florida. He is also a partner at Midfield Investments, focusing on multifamily properties in Texas. Dave's Real Estate Journey Previously the CEO of a large manufacturing company; transitioned to real estate full-time after the business was sold. Started with smaller, self-funded projects in Ontario before expanding into larger multifamily investments in the US. Emphasized the importance of scaling through partnerships, capital raising, and team-building. Current Project: 120-Unit Property in Montgomery, Texas The deal involves a brand-new multifamily property purchased from a developer at $142,000 per unit—significantly below typical Canadian prices. Located near Houston, in a growing area with strong commercial and residential development, including amenities like a new Home Depot and other retail spaces. Demographic appeal includes commuters to Houston and residents drawn to nearby Lake Conroe (comparable to Muskoka, Ontario). Deal Highlights Seller Financing: Favorable terms allow flexibility and a path to HUD financing. Cash Flow from Day One: No significant renovations required; focus on minor amenity additions. Low Risk: De-risked due to immediate cash flow, strong market demand, and equity on purchase. Avoiding high-risk "value-add" strategies common in previous hot markets, given interest rate fluctuations and renovation uncertainties. Final Notes Glen and Dave highlighted the importance of shifting strategies based on market conditions. Dave emphasized prioritizing cash flow and minimizing risk in the current environment, as opposed to high-risk renovation-heavy projects. The project stands out due to its favorable terms, location, and growth potential.

My special guest tonight is author Deborah Vadas Levison who's here to discuss how her parents peaceful life after the holocaust was shattered by a grizzly discovery under their home.  Get the book.   After surviving the horrors of the Holocaust—in ghettos, on death marches, and in concentration camps—a young couple seeks refuge in Canada. They settle into a new life, certain that the terrors of their past are behind them. They build themselves a cozy little cottage on a lake in Muskoka, a cottage that becomes emblematic of their victory over the Nazis. The charming retreat is a safe haven, a refuge from haunted memories.   That is, until a single act of unspeakable violence defiles their sanctuary. Poking around the dark crawl space beneath their cottage, they discover a wooden crate, nailed tightly shut and almost hidden from view. Nothing could have prepared them for the horror of the crate's contents—or how the peace and tranquility of their lives would be shattered.    Now, their daughter, Deborah Vadas Levison, an award-winning journalist, tells the extraordinary account of her parents' ordeals, both in one of the darkest times in world history and their present-day lives. Written in searing, lyrical prose, The Crate: A Story of War, a Murder, and Justice examines man's seemingly limitless capacity for evil . . . but also, his capacity for good.   “An impressive and important piece of work. I'm glad it was written, and I'm glad I read it.”—Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author   “A gut-punch, hitting you broadside with such harrowing moments that you have to put the book down and take a breath.”—James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling authorFollow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio
