Alex Newson is making history as the first player from Prince Edward Island to reach NCAA Division I women's basketball. The Stratford, PEI native built her game representing Team PEI at national championships for four straight summers before moving to Ontario ahead of Grade 11 to play at King's Christian Collegiate, where she averaged 16.8 points and 5.6 rebounds a game and earned All-Canadian recognition. This past summer, Newson started at shooting guard for Canada at the FIBA U18 Women's AmeriCup in Mexico, helping the team to a silver medal with a semifinal win over Argentina before falling to the U.S. in the final. She was also named flag bearer for Team PEI at the 2025 Canada Summer Games, a nod to her standing back home. Her recruitment has its own twist — Newson originally committed to the University at Albany in September 2025, the first D1 commitment in PEI basketball history, before flipping to the University of Rhode Island, where she joins the Rams' 2026-27 freshman class as they defend an Atlantic 10 title. It's a story that hits a lot of the show's recurring themes: small-market roots, the Ontario prep pipeline, and a Canadian breaking new ground for her province.

Then, Grower's Station executive director Ann Higgs, PEI Federation of Agriculture executive director Donald Killorn and food expert Mike von Massow explain how these food hubs help both farmers and small grocers, and whether scaling them up will bring food costs down.Finally, Agriculture Minister Health MacDonald sits down with The House to share why the federal government is concerned about grocery competition and what he hopes Canadians' grocery carts will look like as the food strategy takes effect.This episode features the voices of:Rob Lantz, Premier of Prince Edward IslandDanielle Smith, Premier of AlbertaR.J.

After four years of EV ownership, I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the electric vehicle experience. Then I took a trip through New England, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and rural Maine—and what I found completely changed my perspective.In some places, EVs were everywhere. Charging was plentiful, electric vehicles felt mainstream, and road-tripping was easy. In other regions, EV adoption was much lower, fast charging options were limited, and the ownership experience looked very different.In this episode of the Turn Down For Watt Podcast, we discuss the real-world EV ownership experience, the challenges and opportunities facing rural America and remote communities, charging infrastructure, DC fast charging networks, cold-weather EV travel, road trips, and the future of electric vehicle adoption.We also discuss why companies like PowerUp America are investing in underserved markets and what this means for the next phase of EV growth.This isn't a pro-EV or anti-EV discussion—it's an honest conversation about what EV ownership actually looks like in different parts of North America today.⚡ Topics Covered:• EV ownership after 4 years• EV road trips and long-distance travel• Rural vs urban EV adoption• Charging deserts and charging hubs• DC fast charging infrastructure• ChargePoint and FLO charging networks• Cold-weather EV ownership• Nova Scotia, PEI, New England, and Kentucky observations• Ford F-150 Lightning ownership• EV charging expansion• PowerUp America Kentucky• The future of electric vehiclesIf you enjoy content from Out of Spec, Everyday Chris, Gjeebs, Trucked Up EVs, Electric Duo, State of Charge, Miss GoElectric, Transport Evolved, Battery Life, The EV Geek, or other EV creators, you'll enjoy this discussion about the realities of electric vehicle ownership beyond the headlines.

Tamara shares how her genealogical journey began unexpectedly while researching her husband's Polish ancestry, eventually leading her back to five long-forgotten diaries written by her grandmother starting at age eleven. These diaries, written in beautiful pre-revolutionary Russian cursive, detail a harrowing yet vibrant 18-month period spent living aboard a ship during the chaotic Crimean evacuation of 1920.Throughout the conversation, Tamara highlights the "detective work" required to piece together a historical narrative when traditional records seem out of reach. She describes utilizing a diverse toolkit—from collaborating with fluent family members for translations to using Google Translate and connecting with distant relatives who possessed matching photographs of the very ship her grandmother lived on. By matching family stories of horses in the Black Sea with historical events like the evacuation at Novorossiysk, Tamara demonstrates how understanding the broader political and historical context can breathe life into the "dash" between an ancestor's birth and death dates.How to Find Tamara Buzyna AdamsLast Ship to Freedom is on Amazon: https://amzn.to/45QcsKwWebsite: https://www.tamarabuzynaadams.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_tamara_adams/ How We Got Here: Genealogy is hosted by family historian Brian Nash.

Book Your Free 30 Minute Consultation https://bookings.howwegothere.ca/In this episode, host Brian Nash sits down with Darren Hall to discuss his research into his Loyalist ancestor, James Waugh. Hall's passion for genealogy was sparked by his family roots in Prince Edward Island and foundational local histories like The Wrights of Bedeque. He emphasizes that effective genealogy requires looking beyond vital statistics—birth, marriage, and death—to understand the broader historical context. For his ancestors, this meant investigating the "story that brought them to Canada," moving beyond the simple fact of their arrival to explore the specific events of the American Revolution that dictated their movements.The investigation into James Waugh faced a significant "brick wall" for years because early land grants only listed him as being "late of New York." However, Darren's breakthrough came through the digitized Carlton Papers, where he located a James Waugh on a 1778 muster roll in Pensacola, Florida. This discovery linked Waugh to British Indian agents Richard Parris and Alexander Cameron. Hall's research suggests that Waugh was likely part of the Loyalist backcountry movement in South Carolina, traveling through the wilderness to Florida before eventually joining the refugee migration to Shelburne, Nova Scotia, and finally settling in PEI's Wilmot Valley.A pivotal aspect of this research involved the use of Big Y-DNA testing, which produced a startling revelation for the Waugh family. The genetic results showed that the paternal line actually matches the surname Wilson, indicating a likely adoption or non-paternity event dating back to the 1600s. This highlights the power of combining traditional archival research with genetic genealogy to correct long-standing family assumptions. By tracing military records, land grants, and DNA, Hall provides a vivid picture of the displaced Loyalists who helped shape the early landscape of Atlantic Canada.
