In 1970, police officers were called to a bizarre disturbance in St. Catharines, Ontario, and reportedly witnessed phenomena they couldn't explain. Psychology professor and paranormal investigator Peter Sacco joins Richard Syrett to reopen the case, separate evidence from legend, and ask the unsettling question: what if the haunting was real? GUEST: Peter Andrew Sacco is a Canadian psychology professor, author, filmmaker and veteran paranormal investigator who brings an unusual perspective to the supernatural: he understands both the mysteries of the paranormal and the ways the human mind can deceive itself. He hosts the award-winning television series The Paranormal Profilers and created the film Niagara's 13 Ghosts. His investigations have taken him deep into the haunted history of Ontario's Niagara region, exploring apparitions, poltergeist activity, EVPs and locations marked by violence, tragedy and death.

John Zmirak The Eric Metaxas Show John ZmirakThe Eric Metaxas Aug 19 2026 Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, John Zmirak joins Eric to challenge the standard Darwinian account of human origins and discuss the growing case for intelligent design. They examine whether Christians can truly reconcile evolution with Genesis, why Zmirak believes Darwinism undermines the biblical understanding of humanity, Francis Collins and theistic evolution, and the cultural consequences of teaching that human life arose through unguided processes.

I visited Victoria Falls, which dwarfs Niagara, the extraordinary Table Mountain, and several wildlife reserves including Kruger National Park. The jeep rides through the brush yielded close encounters with female lions shepherding their cubs, male lions sleeping off meals, a leopard in a tree crunching the skull of an impala, herds of piously maternal elephants — only one of which came close to charging us — and a dozen other species of predator or prey. The high point, I'll confess, was one wildlife encounter in particular: when a troop of baboons charged the outdoor diners at The Black Marlin in Cape Town, driving them to flee, so the apes could stuff their faces with pilfered pasta. Sadly, I was sitting inside, so all I could do was cheer the hairy creatures on from through the window. Privacy Note: On play, Google may track viewers. YouTube's Privacy Policy. The Book of Nature I hope that I'm sufficiently grateful for this encounter with the baroque, sublime abundance of biology that our planet is privileged to host — alone, so far as we know, among the billions of planets. Gratitude should be aimed at a giver, and it was reading the works of Discovery Institute authors that made this easier for me. I could wonder at the tiny penguins that somehow survive in the Mediterranean climate near the Cape of Good Hope, or the birds that live symbiotically with wildebeests by feeding on bloodsucking insects, without the deflating idea lurking in the back of my mind, “This all the result of blind chance and iron necessity, with no crafting intelligence behind it.” Instead, I saw works of art, and found myself thanking the Artist. I was reading the Book of Nature, and seeing in it glimmers of divine action, intention, and generosity — as “natural philosophers” did from Kepler and Newton to Pasteur and Mendel. Back when I unreflectively adhered to the theistic (really deistic) evolution that's preached in most Christian pulpits, I accepted the notion that God was somehow behind every aspect of the cosmos. If pressed, I would have said that God had “guided” or “instigated” the emergence of extraordinary creatures like the zebras that stared at our jeep, the elegant kudus that capered past us through the veldt, the wild dogs that seemed at once so alien and so familiar that it was tempting to hop out and try petting them. (“Do not attempt this,” I was informed by our solemn African guide.) But all of life was at best a convoluted Rube Goldberg contraption, which Someone had set in motion then stepped away to observe. God even had humans in mind — deciding, for some reason, to slowly evolve His earthly image through a long chain of predecessor species, until at some point He chose to implant both rationality and immortal souls in creatures who'd mutated in and then emerged from the womb of an animal. I used to speculate about how that allegedly worked, and how I could reconcile it in some fashion with the Genesis account of God making man directly from the dust of the earth, and woman from his side. I remember thinking, lamely, “Maybe they were identical twins … and He switched Eve's sex before the ape gave birth to them?” Then I stopped bothering, encouraged by modern priests who treat not just Genesis but most of the Old Testament as mostly wholesome mythology, akin to that found in Bulfinch or Edith Hamilton. Christianizing Darwinists Obeying the dictum of 19th-century “Higher Criticism,” Christianizing Darwinists aim to explain away every claim of miraculous action — from the direct creation of man to the parting of the Red Sea, from Jesus' virgin birth to even his Resurrection. I was taught in high school that the last, most crucial Christian miracle, amounted merely to the “ongoing presence” of Jesus in his apostles' hearts and minds. Big whoop. In that sense, Adolf Hitler is still sadly with us. (If you want an account of how and why biblical critics crafted such blinders, read Scott Hahn and Benjamin Wiker's magisterial Politicizing the Bible, which I edited for publication.) Priests, theologians, bishops and even (recently) popes have responded to the popular triumph of Darwinism by dismissing most of the events recounted in Genesis as purely allegorical and moral. Keen to avoid being tarred as “fundamentalists,” and encouraged by some cautious leeway granted to evolutionary thinking by popes such as Pius XII and John Paul II, most Catholics have eagerly accepted that Darwin's theories fully explain the emergence of every living species, even man. Otherwise-orthodox believers have made this intellectual concession, convinced that “the science” is irrefutable, so the theology must make room for it. But what if, in fact, the science is very shaky, and the implications for a Christian worldview profoundly toxic? Those are the questions asked and convincingly answered in a new book, Creation or Evolution? A Catholic Dilemma. It's written in an extremely engaging format — a series of questions posed by science journalist Steve Greene and answered by theologian Rev. Michael Chabarek, O.P. It was Chaberek's previous book, Aquinas and Evolution, that convinced me to take intelligent design seriously, and embark on the journey through the works of Stephen Meyer, Michael Behe, Douglas Axe, and many others — to my profound intellectual and spiritual enrichment. This new book is every bit the equal of Chaberek's earlier work. He lays out the serious evidential weaknesses in the Darwinist claim to have explained the appearance of human beings by incremental mutations from previous apelike species. (For much more detail than this book offers, see Science and Human Origins, from Discovery Institute Press, which Chaberek cites.) He explains how circular logic and wishful thinking pervade the claims of paleontologists to have discovered non-human ancestors for our species, with periodic claims to have found a “missing link” based on tiny bone fragments of indeterminate origin. False First Principles But Chaberek's main focus is not on empirical flaws or gaps in the Darwinist account. Instead, he focuses on the false first principles that motivate, even compel Darwinists to invent their “just so” stories in the first place. Here's a sample of the straightforward, plain-speaking way that the authors convey key philosophical issues: If man did not come from the ape, then how did he come into existence? First, let us consider whether sciences such as paleontology and genetics are actually capable of providing an answer to this question. If man came into existence naturally, then, yes, because science explains the workings of nature. But if man came into existence supernaturally, that is, by the action of divine power exceeding the power of nature, then science cannot explain the beginning of man. Therefore, whether science can provide an answer to this question does not depend on scientific research, but on the previously adopted religious or philosophical assumptions. Chabarek argues convincingly that secularist and materialist assumptions precede and determine the scientific work of Darwinists, essentially forcing them to deny evidence of design, and to make impossible claims for the creative power of mutations — despite the overwhelming odds against blind chance happening upon even a single useful new protein in the entire history of life on earth (as Douglas Axe showed in exhaustive experimental detail in his book, Undeniable). When such bias-inducing reductionist assumptions migrate from the research papers of laboratory scientists into the works of Christian leaders, the consequences are even more baleful, Chabarek warns. If such a central question as the origin of the only rational species, the “image of God,” is to be surgically excised from the domain of religious authority and turned over to materialist scientists, what is to stop that same debunking impulse from undermining every mystery of faith? Should we leave Sarah's miraculous conception of Isaac to the gynecologists, the parting of the Red Sea to the oceanographers, and the resurrection of Jesus to the biologists? That's the inexorable logic of Christians who cling to Darwinist explanations of the “descent of man” from ancestral apes. Far better, Chabarek advises, for Christians who accept a long series of miracles and mysteries as entailed in the redemption of humanity to also make room for the Bible's literal account of the miracle of his creation — from the dust of the earth, by the hand of God.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes Claudia Hehr, animal communicator, author, and speaker whose work explores the fascinating possibility of communication between humans and animals. Through what she describes as intuitive or telepathic communication, Claudia believes animals have thoughts, emotions, personalities, and messages that humans can learn to recognize when they become more receptive to the ways animals communicate. Through The Voice of Animals, Claudia encourages people to reconsider their relationship with the animals who share their lives. She discusses her experiences communicating with pets and other animals and explains how she believes information can be exchanged beyond ordinary body language, vocalizations, and learned behavior. While claims of telepathic animal communication are not established by mainstream science, Claudia's experiences offer an intriguing perspective on the emotional connections that can develop between humans and animals. During this fascinating conversation, Rob and Claudia explore animal communication, intuition, telepathy, consciousness, spirituality, and the human-animal bond. They discuss whether animals can communicate specific thoughts, how Claudia interprets the impressions she receives, and whether ordinary people can learn to become more sensitive to their animals. The conversation also considers grief following the loss of a beloved pet and claims that communication with animals may continue after physical death. Can animals communicate with us in ways science has yet to understand, or are these experiences better explained through observation, intuition, and the extraordinarily close bonds humans develop with their pets? Whether you're an animal lover, skeptic, spiritual seeker, or simply curious about animal consciousness, this episode of The 'X' Zone Radio Show invites you to listen carefully to The Voice of Animals.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes Connie A. Huft, author of Know Thine Enemy: A Guide to Intelligent Deception, for a compelling conversation about deception, manipulation, human behavior, and the importance of recognizing when appearances may not tell the whole story. Whether encountered in personal relationships, professional situations, or everyday interactions, deception can be difficult to identify—especially when emotions, trust, and persuasion influence the way we interpret another person's words and actions. Through her work, Connie examines the characteristics and behavioral patterns associated with deceptive and manipulative individuals. She explores how people can become more observant of inconsistencies, questionable motives, emotional manipulation, and other warning signs that may suggest someone is attempting to mislead them. Rather than encouraging paranoia or suspicion, the discussion emphasizes awareness, critical thinking, personal boundaries, and the importance of evaluating claims before accepting them as truth. During this intriguing interview, Rob and Connie discuss lies, deception, manipulation, trust, intuition, relationships, psychology, and human behavior. They explore why intelligent people can still be deceived, how manipulators may exploit emotions and vulnerabilities, and why understanding our own biases can be just as important as recognizing questionable behavior in others. They also examine the difference between intuition and evidence when deciding whether someone can genuinely be trusted. From relationships and friendships to business and everyday encounters, knowing how deception works can provide an important layer of personal awareness. Join Rob McConnell and Connie A. Huft on The 'X' Zone Radio Show for a thought-provoking exploration of deception, discernment, and the timeless warning contained in the phrase: Know Thine Enemy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes Connie Good, author of Little Gifts of Sustainable Contentment, for an inspiring conversation about discovering happiness, meaning, and fulfillment in the ordinary moments of everyday life. In a world that constantly encourages us to want more, achieve more, and move faster, Connie offers another perspective: lasting contentment may come from slowing down, becoming more aware, and appreciating what is already present in our lives. Through Little Gifts of Sustainable Contentment, Connie explores the small choices and changes in perspective that can help create a more satisfying and balanced existence. Rather than treating happiness as something that arrives after achieving the next goal, acquiring another possession, or reaching some distant milestone, her message encourages people to recognize the value of gratitude, simplicity, mindfulness, relationships, and meaningful experiences. During this thoughtful conversation, Rob and Connie discuss contentment, happiness, gratitude, personal growth, mindfulness, simplicity, and emotional well-being. They explore why modern life can leave people feeling dissatisfied even when they have achieved many of the things they once wanted, and how changing our expectations and priorities may help us rediscover a sense of joy and purpose. Connie shares ideas for creating sustainable contentment that can become part of everyday living rather than a temporary emotional high. Whether you're searching for greater happiness, trying to simplify your life, or wondering how to find peace amid the pressures and distractions of today's world, this episode of The 'X' Zone Radio Show offers an uplifting exploration of what it means to truly appreciate life. Join Rob McConnell and Connie Good as they discover how some of life's greatest treasures may arrive as little gifts of sustainable contentment. 20 Single Spreaker Keywords:Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes Loyd Auerbach, one of the best-known figures in the field of parapsychology, for a fascinating discussion about the important differences between scientific paranormal investigation and modern-day ghost hunting. With decades of experience investigating reports of hauntings, apparitions, psychic phenomena, and other unexplained experiences, Auerbach brings a research-oriented perspective to a field often dominated by sensational television programs and paranormal entertainment. Auerbach examines how parapsychologists approach reports of ghosts and hauntings, emphasizing careful interviews, documentation, environmental factors, psychological considerations, and the elimination of ordinary explanations before considering paranormal possibilities. Unlike many popular ghost-hunting approaches that rely heavily on electronic gadgets, dramatic reactions, and attempts to communicate with presumed spirits, parapsychology seeks to apply structured investigative methods to reported anomalous experiences. During this thought-provoking conversation, Rob and Loyd discuss ghosts, hauntings, apparitions, poltergeists, psychic phenomena, consciousness, EVPs, paranormal equipment, and investigative techniques. They explore what electronic devices can—and cannot—actually demonstrate, why unusual readings should not automatically be considered evidence of a spirit, and how expectation, suggestion, environmental conditions, and human perception can influence paranormal experiences. Whether you're a paranormal investigator, skeptic, believer, or simply fascinated by things that go bump in the night, this episode of The 'X' Zone Radio Show offers an illuminating look at the difference between searching for ghosts and scientifically investigating claims of paranormal activity. Join Rob McConnell and Loyd Auerbach as they separate investigation from entertainment and ask the essential question: What constitutes credible evidence of the paranormal?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes John Nap for an extraordinary conversation about Galactic Guidance and Multiple ET Contacts. John shares his experiences and beliefs concerning encounters with extraterrestrial intelligences and the guidance he says he has received through these contacts. His story enters the fascinating and controversial world of UFOs, alien encounters, consciousness, and the possibility that humanity may not be alone in the universe. John describes what he believes are interactions with multiple extraterrestrial beings or civilizations, exploring the nature of these encounters and the messages he says have been communicated to him. His experiences raise intriguing questions about whether advanced non-human intelligences could be observing or interacting with humanity and whether consciousness itself might provide a means of communication beyond conventional physical contact. Such extraordinary claims remain matters of personal testimony and interpretation rather than established scientific fact. During this fascinating interview, Rob and John explore ET contact, UFOs, UAPs, telepathic communication, galactic civilizations, consciousness, spirituality, and humanity's possible relationship with extraterrestrial intelligence. They discuss how John interprets his experiences, what he believes these beings want humanity to understand, and whether other people reporting similar encounters may be describing aspects of the same unexplained phenomenon. Are extraterrestrial beings attempting to communicate with humanity, or are reported contact experiences better explained through psychological, spiritual, or other mechanisms? Whether you're a believer, skeptic, experiencer, or simply fascinated by the possibility of intelligent life beyond Earth, this episode of The 'X' Zone Radio Show invites listeners to examine the claims, consider the possibilities, and reach their own conclusions.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes Seika Groves for a fascinating exploration of Science and the Paranormal. For generations, people have reported experiences involving ghosts, psychic phenomena, telepathy, precognition, unexplained energies, and other events that appear to challenge conventional explanations. But can these experiences be investigated scientifically, and where should we draw the line between genuine mystery, personal belief, and phenomena that may eventually have a conventional explanation? Seika examines the intriguing territory where scientific inquiry and paranormal research intersect. From reports of extrasensory perception and unusual consciousness experiences to hauntings and unexplained encounters, the discussion considers how researchers can approach extraordinary claims using observation, experimentation, critical thinking, and an open but skeptical mind. Scientific investigation does not require automatically accepting or rejecting paranormal claims—it requires asking good questions and following the evidence wherever it leads. During this thought-provoking conversation, Rob and Seika explore parapsychology, consciousness, psychic phenomena, ghosts, ESP, telepathy, precognition, and unexplained experiences. They discuss the difficulties researchers face when attempting to reproduce paranormal phenomena under controlled conditions, the importance of separating anecdotal experiences from scientific evidence, and whether our present understanding of physics and consciousness leaves room for discoveries that could change how we perceive reality. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or someone fascinated by mysteries that remain unexplained, this episode of The 'X' Zone Radio Show offers an intriguing examination of the continuing debate between science and the paranormal. Join Rob McConnell and Seika Groves as they investigate whether science may someday provide answers to phenomena that currently exist at the boundaries of human understanding.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Through her teachings, Christine describes the Pleiadians as highly evolved beings who are assisting humanity during a period of profound change. Her Initiations of Light work focuses on meditation, energetic practices, self-healing, and reconnecting with what she describes as our higher spiritual nature. These concepts come from Christine's personal experiences and spiritual framework rather than established scientific evidence, but they have attracted followers interested in channeling, extraterrestrial contact, and metaphysical exploration. During this intriguing conversation, Rob and Christine explore her claimed encounters with Pleiadian beings, the nature of channeling and telepathic communication, Initiations of Light, multidimensional consciousness, energy, spiritual awakening, and the idea that humanity may be undergoing a transformation in consciousness.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes Christine Nightingale, spiritual teacher, author, and intuitive whose work centers on angels, spiritual communication, and signs from beyond. Christine believes angels are not simply figures found in religious traditions but spiritual beings capable of providing guidance, comfort, and reassurance during important moments in our lives. Through personal experiences and stories shared by others, she explores why so many people believe they have encountered unmistakable signs of an angelic presence. Christine discusses the many ways people report experiencing angels—from unusual coincidences and powerful intuitive impressions to dreams, visions, unexpected messages, and moments of protection that seem impossible to explain. She explores the concept of guardian angels and considers whether loved ones who have passed may also communicate through signs and synchronicities. These experiences are deeply personal and open to spiritual, psychological, and other interpretations. During this fascinating conversation, Rob and Christine explore angelic encounters, guardian angels, intuition, synchronicity, spirit communication, the afterlife, and signs from deceased loved ones. They examine how someone might distinguish an extraordinary spiritual experience from coincidence and why belief in angels continues to transcend cultures, religions, and generations. Rob also investigates the evidence behind these claims while allowing listeners to reach their own conclusions. Whether you're convinced angels walk among us, skeptical of supernatural explanations, or simply curious about the remarkable experiences people attribute to angelic intervention, this episode of The 'X' Zone Radio Show offers an intriguing journey into faith, consciousness, and the unexplained.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes John Milor, author and researcher known for exploring the controversial intersection of Christian theology, UFO phenomena, extraterrestrial intelligence, and the ancient astronaut hypothesis. Milor examines biblical passages through an unconventional lens, asking whether some descriptions of mysterious beings, heavenly vehicles, and extraordinary encounters could be interpreted as evidence of contact with non-human intelligences. Drawing upon Scripture, ancient traditions, UFO reports, and his interpretation of biblical prophecy, John explores accounts involving angels, the Nephilim, Ezekiel's vision, the "sons of God," and other mysterious figures and events found throughout the Bible. He considers whether terminology understood in ancient times as spiritual or supernatural might be interpreted differently in the technological age. These interpretations remain speculative and are debated by biblical scholars, theologians, historians, and UFO researchers. During this fascinating conversation, Rob and John examine the possibility of ancient extraterrestrial contact, modern UFO and UAP encounters, biblical descriptions of unusual aerial phenomena, and whether Christianity and the existence of extraterrestrial life would necessarily be incompatible. They also explore questions surrounding angels and aliens, spiritual beings, other worlds, creation, prophecy, and humanity's place within a potentially inhabited universe. Are UFOs strictly a modern phenomenon, or could humanity have been witnessing something similar for thousands of years? Whether you're interested in the Bible, ancient astronauts, UFOs, UAPs, extraterrestrials, theology, or unexplained mysteries, this episode of The 'X' Zone Radio Show challenges listeners to reconsider familiar biblical accounts from an entirely different perspective.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

David explores how spiritual awareness can help us remain grounded while navigating the confusion and challenges of everyday existence. Rather than escaping from the realities of the world, spiritual living can involve changing the way we respond to them.

Working at the intersection of spirituality, energy work, and paranormal investigation, David assists people who believe they are experiencing unexplained activity, unwanted spiritual presences, or unusual energetic conditions within their surroundings. David's approach to what he calls house healing involves identifying possible spiritual or energetic influences that occupants associate with unexplained sounds, sensations, apparitions, emotional disturbances, and other seemingly paranormal experiences.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes David Nabhan, author, researcher, and longtime advocate for examining possible patterns associated with major earthquakes. Nabhan has challenged conventional thinking about earthquake forecasting by investigating whether certain seismic events may display recurring relationships involving geography, timing, tides, and the gravitational influences of the Sun and Moon. His work raises a provocative question: Are devastating earthquakes truly unpredictable, or are there warning patterns we have yet to fully understand? Drawing upon historical earthquake records and his own research, David examines some of the world's most destructive seismic events and the circumstances surrounding them. He has argued for greater scientific attention to possible correlations between major earthquakes and tidal forces, while recognizing that earthquake prediction remains an extraordinarily difficult and controversial field. Mainstream seismology currently cannot reliably predict the exact time, location, and magnitude of a future earthquake. During this thought-provoking conversation, Rob and David explore mega-earthquakes, seismic activity, tectonic forces, earthquake forecasting, tides, the Sun and Moon, and disaster preparedness. They discuss what history may teach us about catastrophic earthquakes, the difference between identifying earthquake hazards and actually predicting individual events, and why improving our understanding of seismic risks could potentially save lives. From the Pacific Ring of Fire to major fault systems capable of producing catastrophic events, this episode of The 'X' Zone Radio Show investigates one of nature's most powerful and frightening phenomena. Can scientists ever accurately predict the next mega-destructive earthquake? Join Rob McConnell and David Nabhan as they examine the evidence, controversies, and unanswered questions surrounding the continuing search for reliable earthquake forecasting.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

During this thought-provoking conversation, Rob and Joshua discuss the legends of crystal skulls, the search for evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence, psychic communication, ancient civilizations, consciousness studies, and the enduring fascination with UFOs and alien contact. Together they explore why these mysteries continue to inspire debate among researchers, believers, skeptics, and the curious alike.

Send us Fan MailToronto is a city built out of neighborhoods, food, and constant surprises. We sit down with Ashley Rochefort, Media Relations Manager at Destination Toronto, to unpack what makes Canada's largest city feel so alive, from its long history to its modern identity as “the world in a city,” where roughly half of residents are born outside Canada and cultures show up block by block. We get specific about things to do in Toronto, starting with the CN Tower for panoramic views, the glass floor, and the EdgeWalk, plus the waterfront cluster nearby with Ripley's Aquarium and the Rogers Centre. From there we hit iconic stops like Casa Loma with its seasonal programming. Museum favorites including the Royal Ontario Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the unexpectedly fascinating Bata Shoe Museum.We talk Toronto's legendary diversity of authentic eats, and the fusion that comes with it, including the Toronto-invented sushi pizza, peameal bacon sandwiches at St. Lawrence Market, and the city's serious love for Jamaican patties. We also map out walkable neighborhoods like the Distillery District and Kensington Market. Toronto's natural beauty includes beaches, parks, High Park cherry blossoms, and a quick ferry ride to the Toronto Islands. Finally, we connect the dots to a Niagara Falls day trip and the Niagara wine region, plus summer festivals, the CNE, and nightlife hotspots. **Ashley Rochefort isMedia Relations Manager at Destination Toronto.

Plastic Bottles & Summer Vacations – Ann Marie (Canela) Chock, Head of Niagara Cares, the Philanthropic Arm of Niagara Water, America's Largest Water Bottler "We were the first to lightweight our bottles. So, if you think about a typical bottle of soda, it's about 27 grams of plastic. Our bottles, this year, I think they're coming in at 6.6 grams …We've created label-less bottles so they're easier to recycle. …We're now running lines that are entirely recycled content. So we are very committed to creating bottles that that do not harm the planet, and also that allow for the most circular of products while we also think about what the bottle of the future might look like." Ann Marie (Canela) Chock on Electric Ladies Podcast Summer vacations tend to include a lot of plastic bottles - at the beach, in the car, at the airport. In 2025, people consumed an astonishing 500+ billion plastic bottles. That's about1 million plastic bottles per minute! Drinking water is good for you, but how do we deal with all that plastic? What's the responsibility of the bottling company for all that plastic? Listen to Ann Marie (Canela) Chock, Head of Niagara Cares and Director of Corporate Giving at Niagara Water in this fascinating and candid conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. (Note: This was recorded before she got married and changed her name to Chock.) You'll hear about: ● How bottled water gets to your local market, ● How Niagara Water dramatically reduced the plastic content of its bottles and is taking steps to improve recycling. ● Where corporate philanthropy is focused at this tumultuous moment when so many government grants were abruptly cancelled. ● Plus, career advice, such as: "I think the best thing you can do is define you first….what your values are at this time, and have been for probably since you were a child. And some definition to what your purpose is in the world….The second one I think is.…I would just encourage, especially midcareer women to think, 'what if the things that were right for you, you knew they were right for you because they were easy, not hard?' Because they came to you in a way that felt aligned versus you're scrapping and fighting for them.…Hard work is a core of success, but it's not the only way to get there.…So what if we considered things that came to us and were at our feet as the right path for us to go down?"
