As Ukraine faces crucial decisions for the future of its four-year fight to defeat Russia's full-scale invasion, several nations are gathering in Canada for the Halifax International Security Forum to discuss the importance of democracy — including high-profile critics of the Kremlin.One of those dissidents, Vladimir Kara-Murza, was sentenced to 25 years in a Siberian gulag for criticizing Putin's war on Ukraine. He joins The House to discuss the war in Ukraine, the possibility of a Russian democracy and why he won't stop advocating for political prisoners who are still behind bars.Then, former chess grandmaster and Putin-critic Garry Kasparov tells host Catherine Cullen why he's just as concerned about the prospects for democracy in the United States as in Russia. Plus, the King and Queen of Sweden were in Ottawa this week as part of a charm offensive as the Nordic country pitches Canada on its Gripen fighter jet. Meanwhile, the home of the F35 maker, the United States, isn't pleased that Canada's been distracted by a new suitor. CBC's Murray Brewster joins The House to break down the drama.After that, Vancouver area MP and former environment minister Jonathan Wilkinson weighs in on whether he could support lifting the federal tanker ban to ship more bitumen from B.C.'s coast as Ottawa and Alberta work away at a pipeline agreement.Finally, Canada's victims of crime advocate Benjamin Roebuck explains why he believes survivors of sexual violence are being systemically betrayed by the criminal justice system, detailing how allegations are often disbelieved and cases are regularly delayed or dropped.This episode features the voices of:Vladimir Kara-Murza, vice-president of the Free Russia FoundationGarry Kasparov, founder and chairman of the Renew Democracy InitiativeMurray Brewster, CBC News' senior defence correspondentJonathan Wilkinson, Liberal MP for North Vancouver-CapilanoBenjamin Roebuck, federal ombudsperson for victims of crime

October brought AI hype, digital euro déjà vu, and the shocking return of crypto — which means it was just another totally normal month in Nordic fintech.Pål, Ville, and Janne reunite to unpack the biggest stories from the Helsinki Fintech Farm newsletter.

What if the dream trip starts feeling like a job? We sit down with traveler and author Melissa Rodway to unpack the real highs and lows of a life built on movement—starting with a wild childhood year in Western Australia, a no-guidebook leap through Europe in the 90s, and the pre-smartphone hacks that kept her safe and curious in Costa Rica.The story turns when she quits an advertising job and heads to Southeast Asia for months of motion—Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and China—where gritty bus rides collide with occasional five-star stays. Melissa shares how travel fatigue sneaks in, why purpose is the antidote, and the moment a seasoned traveler taught her the hardest lesson of the road: know when to go home. Those long rides turned into pages, and pages into The People You Meet, a witty, honest travel book about culture, food, and the human dramas that follow you across borders.Then we switch gears to a slower kind of adventure: five winter weeks in Quebec City during her year off. Daily cross-country laps on the Plains of Abraham, ice skating under big skies, a Nordic spa two minutes from home, and the electric roar of Carnival with its ice canoe races on the St. Lawrence.

Anderson launched the Ely ski program from scratch back in the 1990s and guided the Timberwolves to prominence over the next two decades. She coached the boys to a state title in 2010, countless section championships and runner up finishes going against section 7 rival Duluth East, and guided Erin Bianco — a current BSF World Cup skier — to the individual title in 2017.We reached out to hear her ski story, how she built such a successful program, and her advice to coaches trying to do the same. Ely has one of the smallest student populations for schools with cross-country skiing, yet she continues to attract a team that makes up almost 10% of enrollment at the high school. The Ely ski team is a club team that is funded only from community supported fundraisers. Paula is involved with the yearly acquisition of funds to secure that another ski season will take place in Ely. She not only works to make sure the funds are developing, but that the skiers are developing as well by leading a summer workout program. Her ability to individualize the training for her athletes is a unique skill.

Laura Eisenhower, the great granddaughter of President Eisenhower, believes he created an elite leadership unit within the US military to safeguard the US Republic from the machinations of the Deep State/Cabal. She believes this White Hats military unit is behind recent UFO disclosures, and is also behind efforts to dismantle the Deep State, whose power base is rapidly collapsing worldwide. This has led to the prospects of extraterrestrial disclosure happening in the near future due to revelations by insiders such as JP who took her on a tour of Eglin AFB where he was stationed for four years.Laura believes that one of the key challenges confronting humanity is to discern between organic and synthetic Nordic extraterrestrials, the latter of which are skilled in deception, and behind the infiltration of ancient civilizations such as Lyra and organizations such as the Galactic Federation of Worlds. She believes that we need to develop our discernment and abilities as sovereign beings so we don't give our power away to extraterrestrials that are eager to help or may be compromised. Ultimately, Laura asserts that we are all expressions of infinite source intelligence and need to be on guard not to give our power away in the mistaken belief that extraterrestrials are wiser and more loving than us.

This week on Destination on the Left, we bring you the first special roadshow installment from the Atlantic Canada Showcase 2025 in beautiful Saint John, New Brunswick. In this episode, we dive into the deep-rooted community spirit and storytelling tradition that make Atlantic Canada such a fantastic destination. You'll hear firsthand from passionate tourism professionals across the region, who will share powerful insights on how authenticity, connection, and collaboration are shaping travel experiences in Atlantic Canada—offering everything from local cuisine and hands-on adventures to heritage attractions and indigenous-led hospitality. Get ready to discover why Atlantic Canada continues to redefine what it means to experience genuine hospitality. In this episode, you'll hear from these extraordinary leaders: Aubrey Reine: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aubrey-reine-30913062/ Annick Robichaud-Butland: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annick-robichaud-butland-bb436b68/ Christy Elliott: https://balsamridgeforestdomes.ca/ Melissa Lansing: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-lansing/ Chelsey Gould: linkedin.com/in/chelsey-gould Olivia Morley: https://www.linkedin.com/in/olivia-morley-0a2627171/ Judith LaBrie: ca.linkedin.com/in/judith-labrie-49a46315 Lois Whitlock: https://wolastoqcasino.com/ Rebecca Whiffen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-whiffen-a89934320/ Xavier Gauvin: https://tourismepeninsuleacadienne.ca/en/ Jordan Jamison: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-jamison-nb/ Marcy Barnes: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcy-barnes-8b98092b/ Authenticity is the Bedrock of Atlantic Canada's Appeal More and more, travelers crave experiences that feel genuine; not manufactured or packaged, but rooted in the real culture and history of a place. As our guests point out, Atlantic Canada captures the essence of what travelers are seeking in 2025, authenticity, connection, and a sense of place. Whether it's coastal escapes, heritage attractions, or culinary adventures, guests find themselves meeting people with deep roots and big hearts, engaged in traditions that tie them to the land and sea. This sense of authenticity isn't just a surface feature, it's immersive and personal. As travelers become savvier, the human warmth and raw natural beauty of Atlantic Canada offer lasting impressions that go far beyond the typical tourist checklist. Creating a Sense of Belonging The region's defining feature isn't just its scenery—it's the spirit of its people. "Family," "welcome," "authentic," and "wonderful" were the most common words repeated by various tourism professionals when asked to sum up the Atlantic Canada Showcase experience. For Annick Robichaud-Butland, the laid-back lifestyle and genuine friendliness are irresistible for those looking to escape the rushed pace of everyday life. This communal sense goes deeper, too. Leaders like Christy Elliott from Balsam Ridge Forest Domes emphasize personal attention and the importance of treating every guest like family. At King's Landing Historical Settlement, the experience isn't just about history—it's about making personal connections that make visitors feel it's "their King's Landing, not just ours," as Melissa Lansing shares. Across properties and attractions, the trend is clear: travelers want to feel like locals, supported by genuine interactions, community-driven partnerships, and experiences that foster a true sense of belonging. A Cooperative Spirit Elevates the Guest Experience Atlantic Canada's tourism boom is built on a foundation of cooperation. Tour operators and destinations frequently cross-sell one another's products and services, ensuring that visitors enjoy fully-rounded itineraries and seamless transitions between provinces. For Annick Robichaud-Butland, collaborating with other receptive tour operators means providing a well-rounded itinerary and boosting economic potential for all partners. Organizations like Explore New Brunswick also highlight region-wide cooperative marketing efforts, such as the Atlantic Canada Agreement on Tourism—a pitch that unites Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island under one friendly umbrella. This collaborative approach allows the region to punch above its weight, attracting record numbers of buyers and making Atlantic Canada a must-watch destination on the travel map. Sustainability, Seasonality, and Personalization As travel recovers post-pandemic, Atlantic Canada is seeing dynamic changes in visitor interests. Regenerative travel, off-season exploration, culinary journeys, heritage tourism, and multi-generational trips are all on the rise. Local experts are adapting by introducing winter offerings, hands-on activities, food-and-beverage experiences, and expanding digital storytelling platforms to reach both Canadian and international audiences. Repeat guests are increasing, with many super fans returning year after year to deepen their exploration. New partnerships, enhanced seasonal operations, and innovations—like Nordic spas and astro-tourism—are key drivers keeping the region vibrant and relevant. Above all, Atlantic Canada consistently inspires, welcomes, and connects with travelers in ways that are both meaningful and memorable. Atlantic Canada isn't just a destination—it's a way to feel at home, no matter where you're from. We value your thoughts and feedback and would love to hear from you.

In this comprehensive episode, Luka Mustafa, founder and CEO of Irnas Product Development, provides an in-depth exploration of Zephyr RTOS and its transformative impact on embedded development. We dive deep into how Zephyr's Linux Foundation-backed ecosystem enables hardware-agnostic development, dramatically reducing the time spent on foundational code versus business-value features. Luka shares practical insights from five years of specializing in Zephyr development, demonstrating how projects can achieve remarkable portability - including running the same Bluetooth code on different chip architectures in just an hour, and even executing embedded applications natively on Linux for development purposes.The discussion covers Zephyr's comprehensive testing framework (Twister), CI/CD integration capabilities, and the cultural shift required when moving from traditional bare-metal development to this modern RTOS approach. We explore real-world applications from low-power IoT devices consuming just 5 microamps to complex multi-core systems, while addressing the learning curve challenges and when Zephyr might not be the right choice. This episode is essential listening for embedded teams considering modernizing their development practices and leveraging community-driven software ecosystems.Key Topics[03:15] Zephyr RTOS fundamentals and Linux Foundation ecosystem benefits[08:30] Hardware abstraction and device tree implementation for portable embedded code[12:45] Nordic Semiconductor strategic partnership and silicon vendor support landscape[18:20] Native POSIX development capabilities and cross-platform debugging strategies[25:10] Learning curve challenges: EE vs CS background adaptation to Zephyr development[32:40] Resource requirements and low-power implementation on constrained microcontrollers[38:15] Multi-vendor chip support: STMicroelectronics, NXP, and industry adoption trends[42:30] Safety-critical applications and ongoing certification processes[45:50] Organizational transformation strategies and cultural adaptation challenges[52:20] Zbus inter-process communication and modular development architecture[58:45] Twister testing framework and comprehensive CI/CD pipeline integration[65:30] Sample-driven development methodology and long-lived characterization tests[72:15] Production testing automation and shell interface utilization[78:40] Model-based development integration and requirements traceability[82:10] When not to use Zephyr: Arduino simplicity vs RTOS complexity trade-offsNotable Quotes"With Zephyr, porting a Bluetooth project from one chip architecture to another took an hour for an intern, compared to what would traditionally be months of effort." — Luka Mustafa"How many times have you written a logging subsystem? If the answer is more than zero, then it shouldn't be the case. Someone needs to write it once, and every three years someone needs to rewrite it with a better idea." — Luka Mustafa"The real benefit comes from doing things the Zephyr way in Zephyr, because then you are adopting all of the best practices of developing the code, using all of the subsystems to the maximum extent." — Luka Mustafa"You want to make sure your team is spending time on things that make money for you, not on writing logging, for example." — Luka MustafaZephyr Project - Linux Foundation-backed RTOS project providing comprehensive embedded development ecosystemTwister Testing Framework - Zephyr's built-in testing framework for unit tests, hardware-in-the-loop, and CI/CD integrationZbus Inter-Process Communication - Advanced event bus system for modular embedded development and component decouplingiirnas - Open-source examples of Zephyr best practices and CI/CD pipeline implementationsCarles Cufi's Talk - Detailed presentation on Nordic's strategic decision to support Zephyr RTOS You can find Jeff at https://jeffgable.com.You can find Luca at https://luca.engineer.Want to join the agile Embedded Slack?

A week can break your heart and still make you smile. We said goodbye to a beloved cat and then turned around to DJ two wildly different weddings—one set against the fall colors of Hocking Hills, the other a Halloween celebration with killer decor and big energy. That emotional whiplash opened a bigger conversation about how we carry grief while pushing a dream forward.On the business side, we get candid about lease limbo, letters of intent, and how not having an address stalls everything from insurance to internet. We unpack cash flow, the value of a nest egg, and why reinvestment beats impulse spending. Then we walk into the heat with a neighboring collectible shop worried about “competition.” We make the case for collaboration—shared audiences, event synergy, and mutual traffic—and choose the high road: no trash talk, just consistent value and open invitations to work together.Music ties it all together. We trade gritty recs—Thousand Foot Krutch, Icebrecher, Cage Fight, I Prevail, and even a curveball from Limp Bizkit—and talk about why a massive chorus or a savage breakdown can reset your week. We also preview original tracks: one with cathedral-sized choral power and Nordic vibes, another a dark waltz about a ballerina trapped in a music box. Plus a storytelling concept built as a duet of conflicting testimonies—two voices, one event, and a truth somewhere in the middle.If you're here for real life—heartache, hustle, heavy riffs, and the messy middle of building something—this one's for you. Hit play, ride the highs and lows with us, and then tell us your go-to song for getting through the tough stretches.
