White smoke emerges from The Vatican, signaling a new Pope has been chosen. Dana explains why the decision on who becomes Pope could reflect the mood of society. Dana is fascinated by the pomp and circumstance from the celebration and has more questions. President Trump announces a historic trade deal with the UK, sending the stock market soaring. CBS News says Cardinals are “rawdogging” the conclave to elect the next Pope. President Trump privately urged Speaker Johnson on a phone call Wednesday to raise the top tax rate and close the carried interest loophole. The Vatican announces Robert Prevost as the first American pope in history. Bernie Sanders refuses to apologize for flying private on his oligarchy tour as he rails against millionaires. Tim Walz ironically tries to complain about Trump's statements about dolls. The Nova Scotia police chief started off with a land acknowledgment at a press conference about two missing Nova Scotia children. Biden says he wasn't surprised about Harris' 2024 loss, pinning it on sexist and racist attacks. FBI Director Kash Patel absolutely owns the Democrats at his committee hearing.

Today on the Clean Power Hour, Tim Montague speaks with Ross Wickenheiser, Head of Sales for Canada at CPS (Chint Power Systems), from the floor of Intersolar San Diego. Ross shares valuable insights into Canada's rapidly expanding solar market, particularly highlighting the substantial growth in utility-scale projects across the western provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta.Ross details how Canada's federal Clean Investment Tax Credit is driving significant new solar development, creating a financially attractive environment for investors alongside the naturally advantageous topography and sunlight conditions in western Canada. The conversation reveals the impressive scale of these developments, with numerous 200-300 MW projects already approved and many more in planning stages, some reaching up to 500 MW.As a professional who transitioned from the traditional oil and gas sector to renewable energy, Ross offers a unique perspective on the energy transition happening in Canada. He discusses the cultural aspects of working at CPS, emphasizing the supportive, collaborative environment that has welcomed him into the solar industry.The episode also covers Ross's coast-to-coast work across Canada, from Vancouver to Nova Scotia, and highlights major Canadian trade shows including Electricity Transformation Canada in Toronto and the Global Energy Show in Calgary - noting how the latter has evolved from a primarily oil and gas focus to increasingly featuring renewable energy technologies.Join Tim and Ross for this engaging discussion about Canada's solar boom, the supportive policy environment, and how professionals from traditional energy sectors are finding fulfilling new paths in the renewable energy transformation.Connect with Ross WickenheiserLinkedIn: Ross WickenheiserWebsite: CPS America Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

In this episode of Nighttime, we delve into the troubling and still-unfolding case of Lily and Jack Sullivan—siblings aged just 6 and 4—who vanished without a trace from their rural Nova Scotia home on the morning of Friday May 2nd. What began as a presumed case of two children wandering off has evolved into something far more puzzling. Despite an intensive ground and air search, no physical evidence has been recovered beyond a single boot print near their home. With growing public concern, calls for an Amber Alert, and conflicting details in media coverage, this case is as heartbreaking as it is baffling. Join us as we examine what is known, what doesn't add up, and what might come next in the search for Lily and Jack.

Destination And Subject: Kyle Dubas and Pittsburgh Penguins Commence Head Coach Search 05/05/25Rick Tocchet, David Carle, and others have been widely discussed as candidates to fill the vacancy Mike Sullivan left when he departed the Steel City. Jeff Taylor and Jordan DeFigio have at least one warm-to-hot take as to who might fit the bill behind the Pittsburgh Penguins' bench, especially while the team undergoes its nearly inevitable transitionary period.Sidney Crosby's agent, Pat Brisson told Pierre LeBrun this weekend that his client would be traveling to Sweden to participate in the IIHF Men's World Championships. What's more, Crosby's longtime teammate and dear friend Marc André Fleury will be making the trip as well, representing Team Canada alongside his old captain.Sid won't be Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia's sole ambassador in the tournament, though. Nathan McKinnon, newly unoccupied as his Avalanche were eliminated from contention in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, will dress beside Crosby and Fleury in Canada's locker room.WARNING This episode contains samples of Dr. Claw's voice. He's really scary. Ok, you've been warned.Special thanks to Espresso A Mano, Pittsburgh's finest coffee roasters and cafe, for partnering with Fly Penguins Fly podcast.

Episode 365: On a humid August morning in 1873, the quiet, tight-knit community of Baker's Settlement outside of Bridgewater in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, was shattered by a crime so shocking that it would echo for generations. This is the story of Mary Ann Frauzel Mailman—a woman described by her contemporaries as strikingly beautiful, and by all accounts, a devoted mother—whose life ended violently at the hands of her husband, Peter Mailman. The murder and its aftermath would become one of the most infamous cases in the province's history, both for its brutality and for the chilling window it offered into the darkness that can lurk behind closed doors.

In a wide ranging interview with NBC's Meet the Press, U.S. President Donald Trump once again repeated his threat of making Canada the 51st state - but ruled out using the military to do so.

And on this Remembrance Day, the Dutch are saluting their Canadian comrades with a gathering today in Holten, where many Canadian soldiers are buried.And: Part of Pope Francis' legacy includes opening some doors for women to have roles in the Catholic church. But the most important doors remain shut. And there are questions about whether the next Pope will give more opportunities for Catholic women to have a seat at the table.Plus: The search for two missing children in Nova Scotia, Israel plans to further expand military operations in Gaza, and more.

For 16 days, Lisa Johnson endured what's known as a "dry cell" in a Nova Scotia prison. Solitary confinement, with no working toilet, in conditions some liken to torture.

We're airing this story again as Lisa prepares for another court date over the dry cell in June, this time with a lawsuit for damages. A note to listeners: this episode features strong language and disturbing details.

fWotD Episode 2919: Margaret Sibella Brown Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 2 May 2025, is Margaret Sibella Brown.Margaret Sibella Brown (March 2, 1866 – November 16, 1961) was a Canadian amateur bryologist specializing in mosses and liverworts native to Nova Scotia. Early in her career she was involved with gathering supplies of sphagnum moss to be used as surgical dressings during World War I, when cotton was in short supply. After the war, she researched mosses from around the world, collecting specimens in Europe, the Caribbean, and the United States, as well as her native Canada. She published several papers in academic journals, some on materials she had collected herself and some cataloging samples collected by other investigators. Samples she collected are now housed at several major herbaria in North America and Europe.Born into upper-class society, Brown was educated in Halifax, Stuttgart, and London. Although lacking formal scientific training, she has been recognized for her contributions to bryology and as an authority on the mosses and liverworts of Nova Scotia. At the age of 84, Brown was awarded an honorary M. A. degree from Acadia University after declining their offer of a Ph. D. She died at her home in Halifax in 1961 aged 95. In 2010, she was inducted into the Nova Scotia Scientific Hall of Fame.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:49 UTC on Friday, 2 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Margaret Sibella Brown on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Patrick.

Americana Podcast explores the artists and ideas shaping American roots music, focusing this episode on the genre-defying Steve Poltz. Poltz is celebrated for his originality, blending tradition with unpredictability in a career that spans decades. Born in Nova Scotia and raised in Southern California, he first gained widespread attention as the co-writer of Jewel's hit You Were Meant for Me. However, his true impact lies in his continual reinvention and subversion of Americana norms. His work reflects the folk tradition's emphasis on storytelling and community, while also embracing humor, vulnerability, and improvisation. Poltz serves as a creative link between the West Coast's DIY folk-punk movement and the broader narrative tradition of American roots music. This episode examines how his artistic approach challenges expectations and keeps audiences engaged. Listeners are also invited to watch a live performance of You Were Meant for Me with the Robert Earl Keen Band on YouTube.

Elise Campbell is a multimedia artist based in Stillwater Lake, Nova Scotia. Working primarily with wool, silk, and other natural fibres, she creates sculptural pieces that push traditional craft boundaries and the limits of wool as a medium by exploring human-nature relationships through textural forms, histories, and surface design. Utilising both contemporary techniques such as needle felting and nuno felting alongside the traditional craft of wet felting, she creates work that reflects narratives of ecological movement, weaving in themes of environmental stewardship. Inspired by both found specimens and botanical watercolour illustrations, Elise's body of work is growing from fungi and algae/kelp to include historical and currently relevant ecology specimens. Elise's dedication to elevating wool fibre to fine craft is evident in her commitment to innovation and collaboration. Her work has garnered recognition and support from prestigious institutions such as the Canada Council for the Arts, The Robert Pope Foundation, and the Denis Diderot Grant, and has been showcased in galleries across Nova Scotia, British Columbia, and Ontario. Through her creative endeavours, residencies, and an international felting study, Elise strives to both inspire and embrace innovation and collaboration, fostering a collective responsibility to protect and cherish our natural home, Earth. We talked about our first time meeting through an art jury, her love of felting and why she only recently started identifying as an artist. We also talk about a very raw and beautiful documentary that she starred in called Hold Fast | A Tattoo That Fits and Flows. In this award winning short film by tattoo artist, Chad Harrington Elise generously shares the journey to getting her first tattoo.

She also gives a little love to the amazing community tuning in from places like New Zealand, Nova Scotia, Norway, New Mexico, and beyond (the letter N is having a moment

Steve Poltz is a singer and songwriter originally from Nova Scotia, raised in Southern California, and now making his home in Nashville. He made a name for himself first with his band The Rugburns and later, more famously, as co-writer with Jewel including the mega hit “You Were Meant For Me.” If you are of a certain age, you will remember the video for that song. A spare room with Jewel playing guitar and a dude dressed like 1996. That dude is Steve Poltz himself! Fifteen-year-old me would be losing his mind. Hell, 44-year-old me is losing his mind at this opportunity. Steve's latest record Stardust & Satellites is outstanding! Everyone, it is my great honor to bring you my conversation with Steve Poltz! The song you are hearing in this episode is "It's Baseball Season" from Steve's excellent record Stardust & Satellites.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks to Dr. Howard Walsdorf about how the four classical elements—fire, air, water, and earth—form the foundation of Western health and healing, and how integrating this ancient wisdom can support natural living, posture, and overall well-being today. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/dr-howard-walsdorf    Highlights from today's episode include:   Dr. Howard Walsdorf  As little as we walk today, we put this soft stuff there to even insulate us even further from drawing that earth principle, as I call it, or forced energy that makes that earth element within us, our bones and our sturdiness quotient, less effective.   Dr. Howard Walsdorf  But let me say this is that the fascia is a connective tissue, and so from a muscular skeletal system, way of perspective is water, is your ligaments and your connective tissue. From another perspective, in this holistic schematics, these patterns, these principles, keep finding places to show up.   Manon Bolliger  22:56 so if you have the right posture, breathing is a non issue, right? We don't think about it anyways. But if you're in the right posture, it's, it's, I would say, even more automatic, but it goes deeper, right?   ABOUT DR. HOWARD WALSDORF: Dr. Howard Walsdorf is a veteran holistic chiropractic and natural healer, author, speaker, and expert in the ancient wisdom of the four elements and natural living. His latest book, Fire, Air, Water & Earth: Apply an Ancient Wisdom to Your Life; aims to revitalize modern society by introducing a compelling new holistic paradigm for healthier living and healing, integrating the principles embodied by the four elements: fire, air, water and earth. As founder of The Four Element Institute and visionary behind the  Growing Holistically community, Dr. W. is on a mission to inspire and educate people to think, live and heal in more natural ways. Core purpose/passion: My core purpose/mission is to bring an ancient knowldge back into our time – the Fire, Air, Water & Earth of nature. For over four thousand years the smartest and wisest of many civilizations focused on it. It continuously boggles my mind that few doctors and others are talking about them. I've been focused on them for 40 years. They've served me well.

Matt Galloway travels to Halifax to hear what's on voters' minds, in the final stop of The Current's election road show Crossroads: Coast to Coast with Canadian Voters.  First up, the sea is both a livelihood and a way of life in Nova Scotia, flowing into how many people will vote. Galloway talks to a fisherman fed up with how his industry is being treated by the federal government, a restaurant owner serving up haddock with a side of national pride and a seaweed exporter worried about U.S. President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs.  Then, housing costs have soared in Halifax since the pandemic, leaving people like Michelle McClung feeling squeezed. Her adult children can't afford to move out, including one son living in a campervan out front. She wants less talk of Trump, and more work to solve the housing crisis and bring down the cost of living.

Nova Scotia musician Joel Plaskett got a special surprise for his 50th birthday, a cover album of his own songs — secretly recorded by his friends and some of the biggest names in Canadian music, including Sloan and Arkells.

Is chalky soil really the secret to great English wine—or just clever marketing? What makes it so difficult for English wine to break into the North American market? Is it time for a classified system of English wine? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Henry Jeffreys, author of the award-winning book Vines in a Cold Climate. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Three of you are going to win a copy of his terrific book, Vines in a Cold Climate. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose three people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights How did Henry become a wine critic for The Lady, a women's magazine? What was it light to interview wine pioneer Stuart Moss? How did Henry's skepticism about biodynamics nearly cause a problem with Gérard Bertrand? What inspired Henry to write Empire of Booze? What was the most surprising thing Henry learned while researching the book? How did Henry's first experience of English wine go? What unusual vineyard experience totally changed his perception? How much wine does England produce? Where are the main wine regions in England? Are the benefits of the chalky soils in certain parts of England overrated? Is it time for a classified system of English wine?   Key Takeaways We always hear about the chalk or the White Cliffs of Dover. Do you think that has an influence or is it overrated? Henry thinks it is overrated and it was the story that sold. It was a good marketing angle, and they thought that it was the best place. He thinks almost everything else is more important than whether it's chalk or clay, and once you've got everything else right, then you can argue about that. Henry observes that selling to Canada and the US is quite complicated. If you sell to Japan, you can get just one person to import it. Whereas in North America you have complicated systems by state and province. You need somebody on the ground selling. Plus, Nova Scotia makes a similar style of sparkling wines. California has some pretty good sparkling wines. And then once the English bubblies land in the market, the price is pretty much the same as Champagne. Why would you unless you wanted something quite unusual, right? Henry says that there is now a PDO, or Protected Designation of Origin, a European geographical indication for one county, which is Sussex. But it's really too early for it, because they've only been making quality wine there for 30 years. The appellation contrôlée is, ideally, codifying hundreds of years of tradition. Plus, a lot of producers buy from different counties. So Nyetimber will have vineyards in Kent and Sussex and Hampshire. So that makes a nonsense of it. And also, there's sort of bits of Sussex that are very much like Kent, so you so there's no point drawing a line where the old county barrier is. It's like, it'd be like, sort of cutting the Médoc in half. It doesn't really make any sense. I think the only place where it makes sense is Essex, because you've got the soil.   About Henry Jeffreys Henry Jeffreys worked in the wine trade and publishing before becoming a writer. He's a contributor to Good Food, The Guardian, Harpers Wine & Spirit, and The Spectator, wine columnist for The Critic magazine, and has appeared on radio, TV, and The Rest is History podcast. He won Fortnum & Mason Drink Writer of the Year in 2022 and is the author of four books, including Empire of Booze and Vines in a Cold Climate, which was shortlisted for the James Beard awards and won Fortnum & Mason drink book of the year.

Mark and Janice talk about: Being of the generation that spent their entire summer days outside and not-connected to anything except friends and the world around them The old school-style desk Janice had when she was young and starting to write which was shoved up against a window that looked out on the ocean Telling herself fictional stories to amuse herself when she was young The ocean being one of the single biggest factors on Janice's creative life The importance of Janice's 2022 book EYE OF THE OCEAN Why it's priceless that we create and share Canadian stories How so much of what we do is about all of the people who help us in our achievements and why it's one of the core messages in Janice's latest book The dramatically debilitating side-effects of Lyme disease Why small acts of kindness and sharing uplifting and positive stories is so important The tiny thing (a tick) that ended up inspiring Janice to write the book EVERY LITTLE THING Importance messages of hope and that you're not alone, which come from the book A very special note that a teacher gave to Janice when she was 10 years old, and why she carried it around for fifty years Advice Janice would offer to beginning writers And more . . .

Shitter Was Full!: A Trivia Guide to National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation   Janice Landry has won four national awards for her writing and work. In March 2025, Halifax West MP Lena Metlege Diab presented Janice with the King Charles III Coronation Medal from the Government of Canada for her body of work, books, and longtime mental health advocacy. Janice is a veteran journalist and proud Haligonian. In May 2025, she released her seventh book, Every Little Thing – how small acts of kindness make a big impact, following her 2023 Lyme disease diagnosis. Janice has since fully recovered and wrote this “small book with big messages” to thank society's many and varied helpers, including some of her own. Janice's longtime publisher is Nova Scotia's Pottersfield Press. Her last two books, Eye of the Ocean and Silver Linings, were both bestsellers. Janice's biggest inspiration is her family, husband, Rob, and daughter, Laura. Through her writing, she also honours her late parents, Baz and Theresa. Janice began writing longform non-fiction to tell the gripping story of her firefighter father's national Medal of Bravery for his part in the near-death rescue of an infant from a harrowing 1978 Halifax house fire.   The introductory, end, and bumper music for this podcast (“Laser Groove”) was composed and produced by Kevin MacLeod of www.incompetech.com and is Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0
