827 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/827 Presented by:   Visit Idaho, Fish The Fly, Jackson Hole Fly Company, Patagonia Ever wonder why some anglers swear by tube flies or why that little hitch on the surface can make a salmon go wild? Today, we're hanging out with Jesper Fohrmann, the creative mind behind Fishmadman and one of the most passionate salmon anglers out there. Jesper's spent decades chasing Atlantic salmon and sea trout across Denmark, Norway, and the UK, perfecting flies and techniques that have earned a cult following from Scandinavia to Newfoundland. We dig into why tube flies can outfish hooks, what makes the riffle hitch so deadly in cold water, and how Jesper approaches leaders, rods, and presentation. Plus, we talk about his favorite patterns, the Scandinavian underhand style, and how all of it connects to steelhead fishing around the world.   Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/827

Interview with Dr. Terry Christopher, President & CEO, Zonte MetalsRecording date: 7th October 2025Zonte Metals has spent seven years methodically building one of the most comprehensive datasets in Newfoundland's underexplored eastern copper terrain, and the junior explorer is now poised to test nine drill-ready targets at its Cross Hills Copper Project. Led by President and CEO Dr. Terry Christopher, a geochemist with over 30 years of industry experience and a track record of discoveries in Mexico, the company has transformed a grassroots exploration concept into an advanced iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) play spanning 14,000 hectares.The company's patient, data-driven approach reflects the complexity of IOCG systems, which require understanding redox boundaries, structural controls, and geophysical signatures to effectively target mineralization. Rather than rushing into aggressive drilling, Zonte spent its first five years integrating ground gravity surveys, magnetics, alteration mapping, structural analysis, and multiple soil geochemistry techniques. This comprehensive surface work paid off in 2023-2024 when the company achieved proof-of-concept at its K6 target—the smallest of its nine prospects—successfully intersecting copper mineralization and validating the exploration methodology."K6 was proof that we're in a fertile copper system," Christopher explained. "If we hadn't hit on K6 then that would have changed the property."The gravity anomalies across Zonte's property show dimensions comparable to major global IOCG deposits like Prominent Hill in Australia (300 million tons at 0.9% copper) and La Calenderia in Chile (700 million tons at 0.5% copper). With copper prices returning above $5 per pound and electrification driving unprecedented demand, large-scale copper discoveries in stable jurisdictions are attracting premium attention from both institutional investors and major mining companies.Newfoundland's sixth-place global ranking for mining attractiveness, combined with the project's tidewater access, hydroelectric power, and paved road infrastructure, significantly reduces development risk. As Zonte enters its drilling phase, the company is pursuing non-dilutive financing options to test multiple targets while minimizing shareholder dilution—a strategic approach that could deliver multiple value inflection points as results emerge from nine distinct prospects.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/zonte-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

This is the second part of this Encore Episode from 2021 featuring a conversation with Irene Sankoff & David Hein — the dynamic writing team and married couple that created the international smash hit musical Come From Away which recently topped American Theatre magazine's list of the most produced plays in America in 2025/26. On the previous episode Irene and David related how they got hooked on musicals, and how they went from their first show based on a true story — My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding — to deciding to create a musical based on the real life events that happened in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland in the days following 9/11. They also described what it was like to attend the 10th Anniversary of the events in Gander and then begin to transform the stories they heard there into a musical during an early workshop production at The Canadian Music Theatre Project at Sheridan College. We also explored the classic Broadway shows that influenced and inspired the writing of their book, music, and lyrics for Come From Away. If you missed part one you may want to go back and catch up on that episode before you listen to this one. Today we look at the extensive development process that CFA went through on its journey to Broadway — including a workshop in Seattle, a series of productions at the La Jolla Playhouse, The Seattle Rep, Ford's Theater in DC. and the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto, as well as a thrilling concert presentation in Gander where it all began.  Back in 2015, I served as the Executive Producer and Artistic Director of The 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle and, as such, I had the great pleasure of co-producing that original Seattle workshop of Come From Away. This was the first time that the show's Tony award winning director Christopher Ashley and choreographer, Kelly Devine began to work on the show — and it was great fun to recall that exciting experience with Irene and David. Come From Away is the fifth musical to originate in Canada and eventually open on Broadway.  The first was 1974's Rockabye Hamlet with book, music and lyrics by Cliff Jones. This rock musical adaptation of Shakespeare was originally titled Kronborg 1582 and was well received, first as a radio series on the CBC, and then at the Charlottetown Theatre Festival and on tour in Canada, before being retitled and opening on Broadway with Gower Champion as the director. It became a legendary flop and closed after 7 performances. Next, in 1980 came the intimate and engaging Billy Bishop Goes To War written by John McLachlan Gray the show featured one actor to playing18 different roles to tell the story of real life Canadian fighter pilot Billy Bishop during the first World War. This show nearly doubled the run of Rockabye Hamlet closing after 12 performances. However, over the next ten years Billy Bishop Goes To War received scores of productions at theaters all across North America.  The Story Of My Life, with music and lyrics by Neil Bartram and book by Brian Hill, opened on Broadway in 2009. Unfortunately, it had an even shorter run than either of the previous two Canadian shows. However, one year earlier, a group of Canadian writers finally scored a significant hit with The Drowsy Chaperone – book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar, and music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert & Greg Morrison. This delightful show opened on Broadway in 2008, received Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Original Score, and ran for 674 performances.   There have been a few other Canadian writers that found success on Broadway – Galt McDermott being the most famous of them – but that was with shows that originated in the US.

HEADLINE: L'Anse aux Meadows, Conflict, and Freydís BOOK TITLE: American Vikings: How the Norse Sailed into the Lands and Imaginations of America AUTHOR: Martyn Whittock 100 WORD SUMMARY: The site of L'Anse aux Meadows in northern Newfoundland provides definitive archaeological proof of Norse presence in North America, with dendrochronological research confirming wood was cut in 1021. This site, however, was a short-lived, primarily male base camp for logistical support and exploration, not Vinland. Artifacts like butternut suggest the Norse sailed further south than Newfoundland, searching for elusive Vinland. Interactions with indigenous peoples (Skraelings) were complex, involving trade (evidenced by Norse items on proto-Inuit sites) and escalating conflict, often started by the Norse themselves. Freydís, Erik the Red's daughter, is portrayed in the sagas as a homicidal figure who killed women with an axe. 1906 ONLY HORSE UN GREENLAND

HEADLINE: Erikson, Sagas, and Vinland Location BOOK TITLE: American Vikings: How the Norse Sailed into the Lands and Imaginations of America AUTHOR: Martyn Whittock 100 WORD SUMMARY: The source focuses on the westward journey from Greenland, established by Erik the Red, to lands sighted by storm-driven sailors. His son, Leif Erikson, led expeditions around 1000 AD to Helluland (Baffin Island) and Markland (Labrador). This history is recorded in the Saga of Erik the Red (13th century) and the Saga of the Greenlanders (14th century). They reached a land they called Vinland, described as having wild grapes and wheat, suggesting a mild climate and abundant timber. The small population in Greenland ultimately hindered sustained settlement. Based on where wild grapes (like the fox grape) and wheat grow, Vinland must have been located significantly further south than Newfoundland, possibly reaching New Brunswick or New England.

Canada's housing market is being battered from every angle, and the cracks are widening into a full-blown crisis. Population growth, the single biggest driver of housing demand, has nearly stalled. Statistics Canada reported Q2 growth of just 47,000 people — a 0.1% increase and the second-slowest pace since 1946, excluding the pandemic. For a country that has leaned heavily on immigration to fuel housing, GDP, and tax revenues, this 80-year low is seismic. Developers who banked on endless inflows are now sitting on record inventories, while Vancouver and Toronto — the markets most dependent on population surges — are already showing demand erosion and softening rents.At the same time, supply battles are intensifying. Century Group's Tsawwassen redevelopment was slashed from 1,433 homes to just 600 after NIMBY pushback, despite meeting planning requirements. In Burnaby, petitions against densification threaten to stall family housing. This kind of resistance highlights how hard it will be for cities to meet ambitious housing targets.Meanwhile, renters are gaining some leverage. Vancouver rents are falling, down 9.3% year-over-year to $2,825, and rental starts have surged to record highs. Landlords are offering concessions, a sharp reversal from the bidding wars of recent years.Toronto, however, is flashing red. Power-of-sale listings — Ontario's faster foreclosure alternative — have exploded 14-fold since 2021, now averaging 140 a month and hitting a record 1,200 active listings. Distressed sales are growing while resale volumes remain stuck near generational lows.National home prices reveal a market split in two. The benchmark fell 20% from the 2022 peak to $686,800, but this correction is almost entirely in Ontario and B.C. Ontario prices are down 26%, B.C. 12% — yet eight of ten provinces hit new record highs this year, with Newfoundland leading.Zooming in, Vancouver's inventory has soared to 18,100 homes — the highest in 12 years — while the benchmark price fell for the fifth straight month. Toronto's market is drowning in inventory, with prices down $312,000 from peak. Together, these metros are dragging national averages while the rest of Canada continues to climb.This isn't just a cooling cycle — it's a structural reckoning. Population growth is slowing, supply is stalling under community resistance, rents are correcting, and distressed sales are rising. The fundamentals that fuelled Canada's boom — immigration, cheap credit, and confidence — are eroding. The fight for affordability and stability is only just beginning. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

Newfoundland and Labrador – Provincial Government Invests in Mentorship Program for Internationally and Canadian-Educated Physiotherapists, released by Newfoundland on 09 September 2025Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC News. I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration Practitioner, bringing you this Provincial News Bulletin from the province of Newfoundland. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario.The Department of Jobs, Immigration and Growth is investing $89,000 over the next two years to support the Newfoundland and Labrador College of Physiotherapists (NLCP) in developing a mentorship program that will help internationally and Canadian-educated physiotherapists bridge education and experience gaps to meet provincial licensing requirements.The initiative is designed to help address the province's ongoing shortage of physiotherapists, particularly in rural regions, by enhancing access to training and mentorship resources.The mentorship program will offer targeted learning modules to address gaps identified during the mandatory mentorship process for provisionally licensed physiotherapists. These modules will help participants gain the Canadian workplace experience required for full licensure, while also supporting mentors with relevant tools and resources. By supporting candidates through the licensing process, the program aims to improve retention and encourage more physiotherapists to build their careers in Newfoundland and Labrador.The program is particularly focused on supporting internationally educated physiotherapists and residents of Newfoundland and Labrador who have completed physiotherapy studies outside the province. The funding supports the hiring of a dedicated coordinator to help develop and implement the program, collaborate with post-secondary institutions such as Dalhousie University, and ensure alignment with provincial and national standards.The Newfoundland and Labrador College of Physiotherapists is a self-regulated and self-supported professional body that regulates the practice of physiotherapy in the province. All practicing physiotherapists must register with the College and adhere to established standards of practice.The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador encourages individuals with international or out-of-province credentials who are not working in their field to contact the Fair Registration Practices Office for guidance on licensure, employment pathways and available supports.You can always access past news from the Province of Newfoundland by visiting: https://myar.me/tag/nl/For insights on the Provincial Express Entry Federal pool, Canadian Permanent Residence Programs, or other Canadian immigration pathways, connect with us here: https://myar.me/cJoin our complimentary Zoom resource meetings every Thursday, with a Q&A session with Canadian Authorized Representatives every Friday: https://myar.me/zoomLearn more about selecting a qualified immigration representative here: https://ircnews.ca/consultant

It's Friday prayers at the Masjid Al-Noor mosque in St. John's, Newfoundland and the building is packed. Worshippers squeeze into the basement, they spill into the kitchen and lay prayer mats on the lawn. The Muslim community here desperately needs a bigger space. Soon they'll have one because a new mosque, under construction just up the road in a former church. The story of how the new mosque was built involves tragedy, faith and an extraordinary act of generosity connected to one of the most gripping news events in recent years, the imploding of the Titan submersible in the North Atlantic. In her documentary, The Best of Planners, Caroline Hillier explores how unexpected events can create profound connections between strangers.

By David Stephen who looks at Human Intelligence in this article. How does learning new things, regularly, become easier? What is the mix for mastery - or its variations - to boost problem-solving, creativity, innovation and understanding? Why are adequate facilities and instructors no guarantees for universal education? What are the limits of human intelligence that AI tutors of present-day may not change? There is a new [September 12, 2025] story by The Associated Press, Google's top AI scientist says 'learning how to learn' will be next generation's most needed skill, stating that, "One thing we'll know for sure is you're going to have to continually learn … throughout your career." AI Tutor Learning new and unfamiliar things, for humans, is generally tough. Why? Probably because of how human intelligence [or its source] works. Even the best explanations, from the best instructors, with the best examples, facilities, practical and so forth, are not equal to the emergence of expertise, in the same instance. Those may also not be followed by creativity, problem-solving, innovation, understanding or even the ability to later recall. This means that the challenges of learning are beyond another new facility, when [the way] human intelligence [works] remains unknown. Even if the pace of learning - or other aspects of it - does not change, if there is, at least, a probable chart on how human intelligence works, it could lead to learning designs, for what to optimize, for certain outcomes. How does an individual learn if the focus is problem-solving? Would it be different if the focus is to be certified? How might that contrast learning for creativity, innovation or understanding? How should human intelligence pivot now, with AI, having the capacity to do many of what human intelligence can do? How should learning be sculpted, not only for some outcomes, but to outcompete [if that's even possible] AI? Sketching Human Intelligence What are the components of human intelligence in the brain? How do they interact and relay for outcomes like problem-solving, creativity, innovation and understanding? What activities are likelier to result in those, and how much time is necessary? First, it is postulated that electrical and chemical signals are the configurators of intelligence, in the human brain. This postulation is derived from empirical neuroscience, establishing that all functions of the brain [for human experiences], are mechanized by neurons - with their electrical and chemical signals. Neurons, according to neuroscience, are also in clusters. Secondly, it is postulated that electrical and chemical signals interact, in sets, to result in functions. Sets of signals are proposed to be available in clusters of neurons. There are also states that signals are, that determine the extents of interactions. There are specifications for interactions - and attributes - for intelligence. This is where progress is, to have it displayed, and used to prospect pathways for prioritized learning outcomes. Advancing education in the AI era There is a new [September 12, 2025] report by CBC, N.L.'s 10-year education action plan cites sources that don't exist, stating that, "A major report on modernizing the education system in Newfoundland and Labrador is peppered with fake sources some educators say were likely fabricated by generative artificial intelligence (AI). Released last month, the Education Accord NL final report, a 10-year roadmap for improving the province's public schools and post-secondary institutions, includes at least 15 citations for non-existent journal articles and documents. In one case, the report references a 2008 movie from the National Film Board called Schoolyard Games. The film doesn't exist, according to a spokesperson for the board. But the exact citation used in the report can be found in a University of Victoria style guide - a document that clearly lists fake references designed as templates for researchers writing a...

At its peak around 1712, New France was a vast territory in North America that stretched from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains and from Hudson Bay down to the Gulf of America. This immense territory was divided into five main colonies: Canada, Acadia, Newfoundland, Hudson Bay, and Louisiana—encompassing the vast interior of today’s United States, including the Mississippi River valley. However, French settlement was sparse, making New France an enormous zone of influence rather than a densely populated area. New France’s government under the French Crown consisted of a Sovereign Council consisting of three major officials: a Governor General, an Intendant and a Bishop, and a number of minor officials, including five councilors, an attorney-general and a clerk. The Sovereign Council was to be the sole governing authority in the colony and the intermediary between the king in France and his overseas subjects in New France.

Interview with Keith Boyle, CEO of New Found Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/new-found-golds-strategic-maritime-resources-acquisition-building-canadas-next-gold-producerRecording date: 15th September 2025New Found Gold Corp. has strategically strengthened its leadership team with three key appointments that position the company for its transition from developer to producer following the Maritime Resources acquisition. The headline appointment sees Dr. Andrew Furey, former Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, joining the board of directors, bringing unparalleled political connections and regulatory expertise to guide operations in the province where both Hammerdown and Queensway projects are located. CEO Keith Boyle emphasized the strategic value, noting that "the political world and all those connections really do help a business and that oversight, making sure that we advance in the right way, that's gold."The operational leadership team has been enhanced with the appointment of Hashim Ahmed as CFO, bringing proven experience from Mandalay Resources and Jaguar Mining, and the promotion of Robert Assabgui to COO, leveraging his decades of mining engineering experience including successful development of Hudbay's Lalor mine. These appointments address the sophisticated financial and operational requirements as New Found Gold manages both Hammerdown's production ramp-up starting in early 2026 and Queensway's C$155 million Phase 1 development.The leadership expansion builds on the Maritime acquisition's strategic rationale, which Boyle described as creating synergies where "Maritime's got a nice little gold mine operation coming into production later this year and that gold production will help fund phase one of the Queensway project." With Hammerdown projected to contribute approximately C$70 million in cash flow and Queensway Phase 1 targeting 69,300 ounces annually, the enhanced team provides the expertise needed to achieve the company's objective of "cracking the 200,000-ounce mark." The appointments collectively reduce political, operational, and financial risks while positioning New Found Gold to capitalize on district-scale exploration opportunities across its expanded Newfoundland land position in a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction.—Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/new-found-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In The Sideways Life of Denny Voss, Holly Kennedy brings humor & heart to a neurodivergent hero, sharing how Lake Union Publishing shaped her journey.What happens when good intentions collide with messy realities? In The Sideways Life of Denny Voss, Holly Kennedy introduces us to Denny, an unforgettable, neurodivergent character whose big heart and distinct voice make him a narrator you'll want to follow anywhere… even into a goose-napping, an accidental bank robbery, and now a murder trial.In this conversation, Holly and I talk about the long road it took to trust her voice enough to bring Denny's story into the world, the challenges of writing authentically from a neurodivergent perspective, and the unique publishing journey she's experienced with Lake Union.And yes, we dig into how timely themes like gun violence filter through Denny's television obsessions and what it means to write a novel that feels both tender and topical today.In our warm conversation, Holly and I discussed:

From Nevis to Newfoundland, Catholics were everywhere in English America. But often feared and distrusted, they hid in plain sight, deftly obscuring themselves from the Protestant authorities. Their strategies of concealment, deception, and misdirection frustrated colonial census takers, and their presence has likewise eluded historians of religion, who have portrayed Catholics as isolated dots in an otherwise vast Protestant expanse. Pushing against this long-standing narrative, in A Common Grave: Being Catholic in English America (UNC Press, 2025) Dr. Susan Juster provides the first comprehensive look at the lived experience of Catholics—whether Irish, African, French, or English—in colonial America. She reveals a vibrant community that, although often forced to conceal itself, maintained a rich sacramental life saturated with traditional devotional objects and structured by familiar rituals. As Dr. Juster shows, the unique pressures of colonial existence forced Catholics to adapt and transform these religious practices. By following the faithful into their homes and private chapels as they married, christened infants, buried loved ones, and prayed for their souls, Juster uncovers a confluence of European, African, and Indigenous spiritual traditions produced by American colonialism. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Interview with Jeff Swinoga, President & CEO, Exploits Discovery Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/inside-exploits-discoverys-csenfld-new-growth-strategy-4m-cash-680k-oz-gold-3-provinces-7217Recording date: 9th September 2025Exploits Discovery Corp. has completed a remarkable strategic repositioning that transforms the company from a resource-light Newfoundland explorer into a diversified Canadian gold company with substantial assets and compelling valuation metrics. The transformation positions the junior miner to capitalize on the current favorable gold price environment, with gold reaching $3,600 per ounce.The cornerstone of this transformation was the strategic sale of Newfoundland assets to New Found Gold for $7 million in upfront shares plus an additional $1.8 million upon delivery of remaining properties, along with a 1% net smelter return royalty. This transaction created immediate shareholder value while allowing management to focus on higher-potential assets.Most significantly, Exploits Discovery went from zero resources to controlling 680,000 ounces of gold across four high-quality properties in just four months. The flagship Hawkins property in Ontario hosts 300,000 ounces in the McKinnon zone within a 60-kilometer property package near Timmins. The property benefits from established infrastructure and was discovered by Don McKinnon, co-founder of the successful Hemlo gold mine.Complementing the Ontario resource base are three Quebec properties under option from Cartier Resources, offering exceptional high-grade exploration upside. The Fenton property has delivered impressive results including 356 grams per tonne gold over 6 meters, while the Wilson property features similar high-grade chimney-style mineralization.From a valuation perspective, the company presents a compelling opportunity with approximately $10-11 million in treasury value against a current market capitalization of just $9 million, creating an immediate discount to net asset value. Combined with $3.6 million in cash and backing from Eric Sprott's 14% shareholding, the company has substantial financial flexibility to pursue aggressive exploration without near-term dilution pressure.The systematic exploration approach across both jurisdictions, supported by an experienced technical team including property-specific experts, positions Exploits Discovery for multiple value creation catalysts in the favorable gold market environment.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/exploits-discoverySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
