A colony built on cod: We follow how the massive seasonal fishing industry of the 1500s, with its intense competition among Spanish, English, French, Basque, & Portuguese mariners in the frigid North Atlantic waters off of Newfoundland, eventually went ashore and began to construct year-round “plantations” around coves on the rugged shoreline, usually without state involvement or approval. We observe how planters, migratory fishermen, and aristocratic proprietors vied for control of the makeshift colonies in Newfoundland, leading to the emergence of a free-wheeling and hard-drinking colonial society, and ultimtately, to a cataclysmic war between France and England for control of the world's richest fishing grounds.

En 1995, les Inconnus deviennent Les Trois Frères à lʹécran. Cʹest leur premier long-métrage. Et ça fonctionne plutôt bien. Après avoir fait les beaux jours de France 2 avec leur série de parodies qui connaissent de très grands succès dʹaudience, avoir attaqué les scènes de Paris et de Province, avoir sévi sur les ondes radios, le trio sʹattaque au cinéma. Mais contrairement au Téléphone sonne toujours deux fois, sorti en 1985, où ils se contentaient de jouer les acteurs, là ils se décident à faire tout tout seuls. Les Nuls sʹy sont essayé juste avant eux. Réalisé par Didier Bourdon et Bernard Campan, deux des Inconnus, le trio ne se contente pas de compiler des sketchs, mais écrit une histoire drôle et touchante. Celle de Trois frères, comme le titre lʹindique, qui ne se connaissent pas, tous de pères différents, abandonnés par leur mère, une chanteuse qui est morte aux Etats-Unis et leur a légué 300 patates, soit 3 millions de francs. Le problème, cʹest que le magot pour des raisons X Y va leur passer sous le nez et leur laisser une pluie dʹemmerdements. Le film enchante le public qui vient en masse dans les salles, surprend, un peu, la critique qui ne sʹattend pas à quelque chose de valable cinématographiquement parlant. Et pourtant : le propos est là, les héros évoluent, et ce qui commençait comme un vaudeville, se termine par une rédemption. Les Trois Frères est couronné dʹun César de la Meilleure première œuvre en 1996. Le film poursuit sa carrière à la télévision, devenant, légitimement, une comédie populaire dont tout un chacun connaît les répliques à lʹinstar de La Grande Vadrouille ou des Bronzés.

Delwin Vriend isn't seeking the spotlight. As an introverted gay man, working at an Edmonton Christian school in the 1990s, he keeps a low profile. But when he's fired for being gay, he knows he needs to push back in a very public way.Host Falen Johnson and journalist Clare Bonnyman recount the case of Vriend v Alberta, and the loud and sometimes lewd court battles that see a judge turn his chair to the wall when Vriend's lawyers speak; newspapers plastering his photo next to a pic of a convicted pedophile; and a government scrambling to shut his case down.Want to listen to more episodes of See You in Court?

In October of 1984, a plane crash in northern Alberta led the newscasts. The leader of the Province's New Democratic Party – Grant Notley - died in the accident along with five others. Four more had survived, but spent a cold, desperate night waiting to be rescued. They had little in common besides the fact that they lived when others did not. The then provincial housing minister, Larry Shaben was one of those survivors. His daughter, Carol Shaben, wrote a book about the experience called Into the Abyss. It traces how the crash shaped the lives of those four men.In 2012 CBC's Liz Hoath spoke to the author and to the two remaining survivors for her documentary.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 5 Agosto 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Crescita italiana, PNRR e investimentiTestate: Repubblica / La Stampa / Il Sole 24 Ore / AvvenireIl PNRR continua a sostenere la crescita italiana, anche se con effetti inferiori rispetto alle aspettative iniziali. L'Ufficio parlamentare di bilancio stima per il 2026 un aumento del PIL dello 0,9%, sostenuto soprattutto dall'accelerazione degli investimenti pubblici e dall'utilizzo delle risorse europee.Senza il contributo del Piano, la crescita italiana risulterebbe sensibilmente più debole. La fase più intensa della spesa PNRR arriva infatti in un momento in cui la domanda privata appare ancora fragile, contribuendo a mantenere positivo il ciclo economico.Il principale limite resta la capacità amministrativa di trasformare le risorse disponibili in cantieri, infrastrutture e maggiore produttività. La vera sfida non consiste soltanto nello spendere i fondi, ma nel generare effetti permanenti sull'efficienza del sistema produttivo.L'inflazione contenuta può sostenere il potere d'acquisto e i consumi. Le stime richiamate nella rassegna indicano una dinamica dei prezzi intorno allo 0,7%, anche se salari, servizi e abitazioni possono seguire andamenti differenti rispetto all'indice generale.Investimenti esteri e crescita post-PNRRTestate: La Stampa / Il Sole 24 OreGli investimenti esteri vengono indicati come il possibile “nuovo PNRR” dell'Italia. Con la progressiva conclusione del Piano europeo, l'attrazione di capitale internazionale può diventare il secondo pilastro della crescita nazionale.L'Italia dispone di manifattura avanzata, filiere esportatrici, risparmio privato e costi relativamente competitivi. Restano però ostacoli rilevanti come tempi autorizzativi, instabilità normativa, incertezza fiscale e carenze infrastrutturali.La capacità di attrarre investitori dipenderà quindi dalla qualità delle istituzioni e dalla possibilità di garantire procedure rapide, regole prevedibili e accesso a energia, logistica e competenze.Gli investimenti internazionali possono sostenere crescita dimensionale, innovazione, occupazione qualificata e internazionalizzazione, ma dovranno integrarsi con le filiere produttive esistenti per generare ricadute durature.Mezzogiorno, Blue Economy e ZES UnicaTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / La StampaIl Mezzogiorno può costruire una nuova specializzazione nella Blue Economy. Economia del mare, portualità, logistica, turismo e cantieristica generano già circa 24 miliardi di euro di valore aggiunto.La filiera marittima presenta importanti margini di crescita. Nel comparto portuale e logistico viene indicata un'accelerazione della ricchezza prodotta fino al 16%, sostenuta dalla posizione strategica italiana nel Mediterraneo.Persistono però ritardi nella digitalizzazione, nei collegamenti ferroviari, nelle infrastrutture portuali e nella semplificazione delle procedure.La ZES Unica può diventare una piattaforma industriale per il Sud soltanto se supera la logica delle semplici agevolazioni fiscali e viene accompagnata da autorizzazioni rapide, logistica efficiente e coordinamento tra Stato, Regioni e autorità portuali.Finanza pubblica, SAFE e spesa per la difesaTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / La Stampa / Repubblica / Il Fatto Quotidiano / Corriere della SeraLa clausola europea dedicata a difesa ed energia apre nuovi margini di deficit, ma divide la maggioranza. Il nodo riguarda il percorso parlamentare necessario per utilizzare la flessibilità e la capacità di evitare che le nuove spese producano effetti permanenti sul debito.Il programma europeo SAFE viene giudicato conveniente dal ministro dell'Economia Giancarlo Giorgetti, poiché consente di finanziare investimenti nella difesa a condizioni più favorevoli rispetto al ricorso diretto al mercato.Il vero tema non è soltanto militare. La spesa europea può trasformarsi in domanda industriale per elettronica, aerospazio, cybersecurity, cantieristica, meccanica di precisione e Intelligenza Artificiale.L'opportunità per l'Italia dipenderà dalla capacità di orientare gli acquisti verso filiere europee e nazionali, evitando che la maggiore spesa si traduca prevalentemente in importazioni.Corte dei conti e controllo della spesa pubblicaTestate: Corriere della Sera / Repubblica / La Stampa / Avvenire / Il Sole 24 Ore / Il Fatto Quotidiano / Il FoglioLa riforma della Corte dei conti solleva forti preoccupazioni tra i magistrati contabili, che denunciano una possibile riduzione dell'autonomia dell'istituzione e valutano anche il ricorso allo sciopero.L'intervento riguarda il ruolo del procuratore generale, le sezioni di controllo e la responsabilità per danno erariale.Per amministratori e imprese la riforma può ridurre la cosiddetta “paura della firma”, facilitando decisioni, appalti e investimenti.Il rischio opposto è però un indebolimento dei controlli sulla qualità della spesa, particolarmente delicato nella fase conclusiva del PNRR. Il punto di equilibrio sarà decisivo per la credibilità istituzionale e finanziaria del Paese.Olimpiadi e sostenibilità dei grandi eventiTestate: Il Fatto QuotidianoIl costo finale delle Olimpiadi presenta uno squilibrio stimato in circa 1 miliardo di euro, destinato a essere ripartito tra Stato, Regioni e Province.I grandi eventi possono produrre benefici su infrastrutture, turismo e visibilità internazionale, ma richiedono un controllo rigoroso dei costi e dei tempi di realizzazione.L'assenza di una governance efficace rischia di trasferire gli extra-costi sui bilanci pubblici, riducendo il rendimento economico complessivo dell'investimento.Energia, accise e costo della vitaTestate: Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Milano Finanza / La NotiziaIl taglio dell'accisa sul gasolio viene prorogato fino al 25 agosto, mantenendo una riduzione di 17 centesimi al litro.La misura punta a contenere il prezzo dei carburanti e le ricadute sui trasporti, sulla logistica e sui prezzi finali dei beni.Il beneficio è immediato, ma proporzionale ai consumi. Per questo motivo tende a favorire maggiormente i nuclei con più veicoli e percorrenze più elevate.Il Governo valuta diverse coperture, comprese misure straordinarie sul sistema bancario e interventi su altre voci di spesa. Il Tesoro insiste però sulla necessità di non compromettere il percorso di riduzione del deficit.Caldo estremo, elettricità e bolletteTestate: La Stampa / Milano Finanza / La NotiziaIl caldo estremo produce un effetto boomerang sul sistema elettrico. L'aumento della domanda per il condizionamento coincide con una minore efficienza di alcuni impianti, limitazioni delle reti e minore produzione idroelettrica.Il risultato è un aumento dei prezzi all'ingrosso proprio nei periodi di maggiore consumo.Le bollette continuano inoltre a incidere in modo proporzionalmente più pesante sulle famiglie a basso reddito.Il superamento dei sussidi generalizzati e la revisione degli oneri caricati sulle fatture vengono indicati come possibili strumenti per rendere gli interventi più selettivi ed efficaci.Banche, UniCredit e CommerzbankTestate: Corriere della Sera / Milano FinanzaLa Germania autorizza UniCredit a superare il 30% di Commerzbank, nonostante la contrarietà politica espressa dal Governo tedesco.L'operazione rappresenta uno dei passaggi più rilevanti del consolidamento bancario europeo e potrebbe rafforzare la presenza di UniCredit in Germania e nell'Europa centrale.Berlino teme però la perdita di controllo su una banca considerata strategica per il finanziamento delle imprese tedesche.L'integrazione potrebbe produrre economie di scala, riduzione dei costi, maggiore capacità digitale e migliore utilizzo del capitale. I principali rischi riguardano prezzo, resistenza politica, esecuzione e tutela della solidità patrimoniale.Poste Italiane, TIM e telecomunicazioniTestate: PanoramaPoste Italiane e TIM restano al centro di una possibile riorganizzazione del settore delle telecomunicazioni.Poste può assumere un ruolo industriale e istituzionale in un comparto che necessita di consolidamento, razionalizzazione delle reti e maggiore capacità di investimento.Il dossier conferma come telecomunicazioni, infrastrutture digitali e servizi finanziari siano sempre più integrati all'interno delle strategie industriali nazionali.Leonardo, difesa e cybersecurityTestate: Corriere della Sera / Repubblica / Il Sole 24 Ore / Milano FinanzaLeonardo punta su innovazione, cybersecurity e integrazione tra spazio, elettronica, sensori, piattaforme e sicurezza digitale.Il gruppo dispone di un portafoglio ordini pluriennale superiore a 44 miliardi di euro, mentre i nuovi ordini annuali superano i 20 miliardi e i ricavi si collocano nell'ordine dei 17-18 miliardi.Il free cash flow viene indicato intorno a 1,37 miliardi di euro, offrendo margini per investimenti, riduzione del debito e acquisizioni mirate.

Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill break down the Maple Leafs' decision to hire Sidney Crosby's long-time trainer, Andy O'Brien, as the team's new strength and conditioning coach. They also discuss the line combinations they would like to see when the season opens. Plus, new Leafs forward Jack Roslovic stops by to talk about signing in Toronto, reuniting with longtime friend Auston Matthews, and where he sees himself fitting into the lineup.
Jack Roslovic joined Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill to discuss signing a two-year deal with the Maple Leafs and why Toronto felt like the right fit. He talked about his offseason, getting set to arrive in the city later this month, and why every NHL season seems to sneak up on you.Roslovic also discussed reuniting with Auston Matthews, revealing the two have been in regular contact and that Matthews has been a valuable resource in helping him prepare for life in Toronto. He explained why the chance to play alongside someone he's had success with before is exciting.Additionally, Roslovic reflected on how his stint in Edmonton helped prepare him for the spotlight that comes with playing in a Canadian market, addressed why his free agency approach didn't change after last summer's lengthy wait to sign, and described the type of player Leafs fans can expect: a veteran with speed, high hockey IQ, strong playmaking ability, and a knack for scoring goals.

Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill debate where the Maple Leafs stack up against the rest of the Atlantic Division heading into the 2026-27 season. They also break down Toronto's playoff odds via BET365 (YES: -115 | NO: -105), discuss nine Leafs landing on Daily Faceoff's Top 300 Fantasy Hockey Rankings, and are joined by Dallas Stars forward and Toronto native Wyatt Johnston for an exclusive interview.
Dallas Stars forward Wyatt Johnston joins Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill for an in-depth conversation. He starts by previewing The Circle of Champions, the August 18 charity event at Scotiabank Pond in Toronto, before reflecting on what it was like growing up in the city as a diehard Maple Leafs fan. Johnston shares memories of cheering for Phil Kessel and later admiring Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews, while explaining why returning home to play in front of friends and family always carries extra meaning.Johnston also revisits his memorable first NHL goal in Toronto on April 13, when the Stars stormed back from a two-goal third-period deficit to beat the Leafs 6-5. He offers advice for top prospect Gavin McKenna as he prepares for life under the microscope in hockey's biggest market, weighs in on the NHL's exploding salary landscape and the wave of massive contracts signed this summer, and discusses why the Dallas Stars continue to churn out elite talent.Plus, Johnston opens up about the impact Joe Pavelski had on his career, why living with the Pavelski family for two years was invaluable to his development, and why he wasn't surprised to hear his former teammate was in the mix for the Maple Leafs' head coaching job, calling Pavelski an outstanding hockey mind and mentor.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 30 Luglio 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Finanza pubblica, PNRR e investimenti strategiciTestate: Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Il Sole 24 Ore / Avvenire / Il Giornale / Il FoglioIl ricorso italiano al programma europeo SAFE viene presentato come uno strumento per finanziare spese già programmate in difesa, sicurezza, infrastrutture dual use e tecnologie strategiche. La richiesta italiana si collocherebbe in una forchetta compresa tra 8 e 9 miliardi di euro.Il vantaggio principale consiste nella possibilità di ottenere finanziamenti a condizioni più favorevoli rispetto al ricorso ordinario al mercato. SAFE impone però precisi obblighi industriali: le risorse dovranno sostenere soprattutto progetti comuni e acquisti realizzati all'interno delle filiere europee o dei Paesi associati.Resta aperto anche il dossier dell'ultima rata del PNRR. Il contenzioso sulle gare ferroviarie Intercity mette potenzialmente a rischio risorse comprese tra 1 e 3 miliardi di euro, con circa 2 miliardi direttamente collegati alla norma contestata da Bruxelles.L'Italia rispetta per ora il percorso di aggiustamento previsto dal nuovo Patto di stabilità, a differenza di numerosi altri Paesi europei. Il deficit si colloca intorno al 3,5% del PIL, mentre il debito pubblico resta vicino al 134,3%, lasciando margini molto limitati per nuove spese permanenti prive di copertura.Federalismo fiscale e responsabilità degli enti territorialiTestate: Corriere della Sera / Il Sole 24 OreIl federalismo fiscale entra in una nuova fase attuativa, formalmente senza costi aggiuntivi per lo Stato. La riforma prevede l'attribuzione alle Regioni di circa 5,82 miliardi di euro di compartecipazioni all'IRPEF, in sostituzione di trasferimenti statali.Per le Province viene invece ipotizzato il passaggio a tributi propri entro il 2030. L'obiettivo è collegare maggiormente entrate, servizi e responsabilità politica degli amministratori locali.Il principale rischio è però l'aumento delle differenze territoriali. Le Regioni con una base fiscale più solida potrebbero disporre di maggiori risorse, mentre i territori economicamente più fragili avrebbero bisogno di strumenti perequativi adeguati per garantire livelli uniformi dei servizi.Lavoro, salari e produttivitàTestate: Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Il Sole 24 Ore / Italia Oggi / AvvenireNel secondo trimestre del 2026 le retribuzioni contrattuali sono cresciute meno dell'inflazione, interrompendo il recupero del potere d'acquisto. I salari aumentano del 2,7% annuo, mentre l'inflazione si colloca intorno al 3,2%.Nel settore privato la crescita retributiva raggiunge circa il 2,9%, mentre nella Pubblica Amministrazione risulta più contenuta. Il differenziale negativo rischia di frenare i consumi interni e di comprimere ulteriormente il reddito disponibile delle famiglie.La debolezza salariale viene ricondotta soprattutto alla bassa produttività, alla ridotta dimensione media delle imprese, agli investimenti tecnologici insufficienti e alla limitata diffusione della contrattazione aziendale.Digitalizzazione, formazione e crescita dimensionale delle imprese rappresentano quindi le leve principali per aumentare i salari reali senza generare nuove pressioni inflazionistiche.Pubblica Amministrazione, competenze e contrasto al caporalatoTestate: Corriere della Sera / Il Sole 24 Ore / Italia OggiLa riforma della Pubblica Amministrazione punta a superare il blocco del turnover e ad aumentare l'ingresso di profili tecnici e digitali. Sono previste nuove assunzioni, maggiore mobilità, formazione e sistemi di valutazione più selettivi.L'obiettivo è spostare il modello dalla progressione basata principalmente sull'anzianità verso una maggiore responsabilità sui risultati. Resta tuttavia il problema di stipendi spesso poco competitivi rispetto al settore privato.Contro il caporalato agricolo viene istituita una banca dati nazionale degli appalti e dei subappalti. La piattaforma raccoglierà informazioni su imprese, contratti, lavoratori e intermediari, consentendo controlli incrociati tra ministeri, INPS, INAIL, forze dell'ordine e ispettorato.I procedimenti citati, con sequestri complessivi nell'ordine di 1,75 miliardi di euro, mostrano la dimensione economica dello sfruttamento del lavoro e la necessità di ricostruire l'intera catena degli appalti.Demografia, capitale umano e immigrazioneTestate: Corriere della Sera / RepubblicaLa crisi demografica italiana assume ormai una rilevanza macroeconomica. Nel 2025 si registrano circa 351.000 nascite, a fronte di circa 652.000 decessi, con un saldo naturale fortemente negativo.Il numero medio di figli per donna è sceso intorno a 1,18-1,20, dopo essere stato superiore a due negli anni Sessanta. La riduzione della popolazione in età lavorativa minaccia crescita, sostenibilità del welfare e base contributiva.Le risposte proposte combinano servizi per l'infanzia, maggiore occupazione femminile, stabilità lavorativa dei giovani, politiche abitative e immigrazione qualificata orientata alle necessità produttive.Oltre 800.000 studenti di origine straniera frequentano il sistema scolastico italiano. La capacità di integrarli pienamente nel percorso educativo e nel mercato del lavoro sarà decisiva per attenuare la futura riduzione della forza lavoro.Politica monetaria, mercati e vigilanza finanziariaTestate: Repubblica / La Stampa / Il Sole 24 Ore / Avvenire / Milano Finanza / Il FoglioLa Federal Reserve mantiene invariati i tassi, ma il voto interno non è unanime. Tre membri avrebbero espresso una posizione favorevole a una riduzione del costo del denaro.L'inflazione statunitense viene indicata al 4,1%, mentre la crescita trimestrale del PIL si attesta intorno allo 0,3%. I dati spiegano la prudenza della banca centrale, pur segnalando che il ciclo dei tagli potrebbe essere vicino.Per gli investitori, il mantenimento di tassi elevati favorisce liquidità e obbligazioni a breve termine, ma continua a pesare sul credito e sulle valutazioni delle aziende più indebitate.Il candidato alla presidenza della Consob Federico Stazi indica banche ed energia tra i comparti da sorvegliare con maggiore attenzione, proponendo un'autorità più moderna e dotata di competenze per controllare algoritmi e nuove forme di intermediazione.Banche, assicurazioni e consolidamento finanziarioTestate: Milano Finanza / Il Foglio / Il Sole 24 OreIl risiko bancario italiano resta aperto. Prosegue l'operazione su MPS, mentre Intesa Sanpaolo continua a essere indicata come possibile protagonista di futuri riassetti del settore.Il consolidamento può creare economie di scala, maggiore capacità di investimento tecnologico e distribuzioni più elevate agli azionisti, ma rende i titoli più sensibili alle decisioni regolamentari e politiche.Il Fondo Monetario Internazionale propone inoltre di valutare l'integrazione dell'IVASS nella Banca d'Italia, con l'obiettivo di rafforzare il coordinamento tra vigilanza bancaria, assicurativa e sui conglomerati finanziari.L'operazione potrebbe produrre maggiore efficienza, ma dovrebbe preservare le competenze specialistiche e l'autonomia necessaria per la tutela degli assicurati.Energia, carburanti e infrastruttureTestate: Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Il Sole 24 Ore / Milano Finanza / Domani / Italia OggiCirca 3.000 distributori non avrebbero applicato integralmente lo sconto previsto sul gasolio. La riduzione attesa era di 17 centesimi al litro, ma in molti impianti si sarebbe fermata intorno ai 10 centesimi.Il costo complessivo degli interventi sulle accise viene stimato in circa 2,1 miliardi di euro. A fine luglio i prezzi medi si collocano intorno a 2,074 euro al litro per il diesel e 1,986 euro per la benzina.Il mancato trasferimento completo dello sconto riduce il beneficio per famiglie e imprese e indebolisce l'efficacia anticiclica della misura. La Guardia di Finanza ha quindi intensificato i controlli sui prezzi e sulle comunicazioni obbligatorie.Il Governo prepara inoltre un piano per accelerare gli investimenti produttivi nel Nord, con procedure autorizzative dedicate e maggiore coordinamento tra le amministrazioni.Industria, ENI ed ex IlvaTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Milano Finanza / Italia OggiIl riciclo viene ammesso al sistema dei certificati bianchi, ampliando gli interventi riconosciuti ai fini dell'efficienza energetica. La misura può sostenere gli investimenti nell'economia circolare e nei processi industriali capaci di ridurre consumi di energia e materie prime.ENI registra una reazione positiva in Borsa, con un rialzo indicato intorno al 7%, sostenuto dai risultati e dalla remunerazione degli azionisti attraverso dividendi e buyback.Il settore energetico resta tuttavia esposto alla volatilità del petrolio, alle tensioni geopolitiche e al rischio di interventi fiscali straordinari.
Josh Clipperton of The Canadian Press joined Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill to break down the biggest stories around the NHL and the Maple Leafs.The conversation started with Amazon Prime acquiring the exclusive Canadian rights to Wednesday Night Hockey from Rogers and what it could mean for hockey fans. Clipperton weighed in on the growing cost of following the sport and questioned whether another streaming subscription could hurt accessibility.From there, the guys discussed Macklin Celebrini's massive new contract extension and what the NHL's exploding salary cap could mean moving forward. They debated the possibility of future buyer's remorse on some of these mega deals, the emergence of teams operating with internal salary caps, and what it all could mean for Gavin McKenna's next contract if he lives up to the hype.Clipperton also shared his expectations for McKenna's rookie season in Toronto, discussed whether the Maple Leafs' reputation as hockey's toughest market is deserved, and explained why he believes the pressure from the media is often overstated. He also reflected on Mitch Marner's "treated like gods" comment and the importance of accountability within the organization.To wrap things up, Clipperton gave his outlook on the Leafs entering the 2026-27 season, explained why he's less optimistic than many of his colleagues, and weighed in on Morgan Rielly's future, saying his gut still tells him the veteran defenceman will be in Toronto on opening night.
Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill break down Macklin Celebrini's monster five-year, $18.8 million-per-season extension with the Sharks and what it could mean for the next wave of NHL mega contracts, including Auston Matthews and, eventually, Gavin McKenna.They also react to Connor McDavid's comments from Zach Hyman's charity golf tournamnet about Gavin McKenna handling the pressure of playing in Toronto following Zach Hyman's charity golf tournament. Plus, they discuss Amazon Prime acquiring the Canadian rights to Wednesday Night Hockey from Rogers and what it could mean for Maple Leafs broadcasts, before breaking down Toronto's three latest front-office hires.Also, Josh Clipperton of The Canadian Press stops by to talk all things Maple Leafs and the biggest storylines around the NHL.
Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 29 Luglio 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Economia italiana, competitività e Pubblica AmministrazioneTestate: Corriere della Sera / Il Sole 24 Ore / Il GiornaleLa burocrazia continua a rappresentare uno dei principali ostacoli strutturali alla crescita italiana. Il problema non riguarda soltanto il numero dei dipendenti pubblici, ma soprattutto la frammentazione delle competenze, la stratificazione normativa e la scarsa valutazione dei risultati.Una riforma efficace della Pubblica Amministrazione dovrebbe puntare su digitalizzazione dei processi, mobilità del personale, responsabilizzazione della dirigenza e semplificazione delle procedure. La riduzione dei tempi amministrativi produrrebbe benefici immediati per imprese, investimenti e cittadini.Confindustria individua nel costo dell'energia, nella produttività stagnante e nella burocrazia le tre principali emergenze della competitività nazionale. L'Italia conserva tuttavia una base industriale diversificata, competenze tecniche elevate e una forte propensione all'export.Il miglioramento dei conti pubblici rafforza inoltre la credibilità finanziaria del Paese. La maggiore fiducia degli investitori può ridurre il premio per il rischio sui titoli italiani e migliorare il costo del capitale per banche e imprese, purché il risanamento non venga compromesso da nuove spese prive di copertura.Federalismo fiscale, appalti e SuperbonusTestate: Corriere della Sera / Il Sole 24 OreIl progetto di federalismo fiscale incontra le resistenze di Regioni ed enti locali. La riforma punta a redistribuire risorse già esistenti, prevedendo una compartecipazione regionale all'IRPEF per circa 5,828 miliardi di euro e una quota di circa 2,11 miliardi destinata a Province e Comuni.Il rischio è trasferire maggiori responsabilità agli enti territoriali senza garantire risorse aggiuntive, accentuando le differenze tra le aree con maggiore capacità fiscale e i territori più fragili.Sul fronte degli appalti viene fermato il recupero generalizzato delle anticipazioni sui prezzi. La decisione tutela la liquidità delle imprese impegnate nelle opere del PNRR e riduce il rischio di blocchi dei cantieri, contenziosi e crisi finanziarie nella filiera delle costruzioni.Il Superbonus conferma invece una forte concentrazione territoriale: circa un euro su due è stato speso nel Nord Italia. L'incentivo ha sostenuto edilizia e occupazione, ma ha generato una distribuzione disomogenea dei benefici e un costo pubblico molto elevato.Difesa europea, fondi SAFE e industria strategicaTestate: Corriere della Sera / Repubblica / La Stampa / Il Sole 24 Ore / Il Foglio / Il Fatto Quotidiano / Il Riformista / La NotiziaL'Italia ha prenotato fino a 14,9 miliardi di euro attraverso SAFE, il nuovo strumento europeo destinato a finanziare investimenti comuni in difesa, sicurezza e infrastrutture strategiche.Il fondo complessivo dell'Unione europea ammonta a 150 miliardi di euro e prevede finanziamenti agevolati agli Stati membri. Per l'Italia può rappresentare una leva per sostenere aerospazio, elettronica, cybersecurity, droni, software, telecomunicazioni e tecnologie dual use.Il target internazionale di spesa per la difesa si avvicina al 5% del PIL entro il 2035, includendo sia investimenti militari diretti sia infrastrutture e sicurezza. La sfida sarà evitare che l'aumento della spesa comprima sanità, istruzione e investimenti produttivi.Leonardo rafforza intanto la propria presenza negli Stati Uniti attraverso acquisizioni nel software per difesa e intelligence, puntando sull'integrazione tra piattaforme fisiche, dati, AI e sistemi di comando.Energia, petrolio, carburanti e rischio geopoliticoTestate: Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Milano Finanza / La NotiziaLa crisi nello Stretto di Hormuz continua a produrre conseguenze economiche rilevanti. I danni potenziali per le economie del Golfo vengono stimati fino a 90 miliardi di dollari, considerando minori esportazioni, rallentamento della navigazione e aumento dei costi assicurativi e logistici.Il Qatar avrebbe registrato una contrazione annualizzata del PIL del 14,7%, mostrando quanto rapidamente una crisi delle rotte commerciali possa trasformarsi in una recessione per le economie maggiormente dipendenti dall'export energetico.L'Italia resta particolarmente esposta per la dipendenza dalle importazioni e per il peso del gas nella formazione del prezzo dell'elettricità. Le principali conseguenze riguardano inflazione, bollette, trasporti, potere d'acquisto e margini industriali.I prezzi alla pompa rimangono vicini o superiori ai 2 euro al litro, con valori indicativi di circa 2,14 euro per il diesel e 1,96 euro per la benzina. Gli interventi temporanei sulle accise possono attenuare il problema, ma non sostituiscono una strategia fondata su diversificazione, reti e maggiore efficienza energetica.Industria, imprese e investimentiTestate: Repubblica / Il Sole 24 Ore / La Stampa / Avvenire / Il Foglio / Italia OggiLa situazione dell'ex Ilva continua a rappresentare uno dei dossier industriali più complessi. Dopo il blocco della precedente gara, il Governo valuta una nuova procedura e la possibile separazione dell'area a freddo, mentre cresce la preoccupazione per circa 8.000 lavoratori e per l'intero indotto.La produzione è scesa da oltre 8 milioni di tonnellate annue a poco più di 2 milioni nel 2024, rendendo più difficile sostenere costi fissi, manutenzione, investimenti e decarbonizzazione.Una vendita frammentata potrebbe preservare alcune attività, ma aumenterebbe il rischio di perdere una capacità produttiva strategica per automotive, meccanica, costruzioni e difesa.EssilorLuxottica mostra invece una traiettoria industriale positiva. Il gruppo è passato da circa 9 miliardi di euro di ricavi a una dimensione vicina ai 30 miliardi, trasformandosi da produttore di occhiali a piattaforma tecnologica e sanitaria integrata.Aerospazio, satelliti e politiche territorialiTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Avvenire / Italia OggiIl progetto IRIDE utilizza una costellazione satellitare per monitorare dissesto idrogeologico, coste, agricoltura, incendi, inquinamento e infrastrutture.Il programma può generare nuove opportunità per aerospazio, software, analisi dei dati e servizi pubblici, trasformando l'osservazione della Terra in uno strumento di prevenzione e pianificazione economica.La proposta di una ZES del Nord punta invece a sostenere gli investimenti industriali dopo la conclusione del PNRR. Gli imprenditori chiedono semplificazioni, incentivi e politiche energetiche dedicate alle principali aree produttive settentrionali.L'obiettivo dovrebbe essere evitare una contrapposizione tra Nord e Mezzogiorno, costruendo politiche territoriali capaci di valorizzare le diverse specializzazioni produttive nazionali.Intelligenza Artificiale, università e capitale umanoTestate: Avvenire / Il Sole 24 Ore / Italia Oggi / Milano FinanzaLa geopolitica dell'Intelligenza Artificiale si articola sempre più intorno a tre poli: Stati Uniti, Cina ed Europa. Gli Stati Uniti dispongono delle principali piattaforme e dei chip avanzati, la Cina di una vasta base industriale e di una forte capacità di applicazione, mentre l'Europa punta su regolamentazione e affidabilità.Il rischio europeo è rimanere dipendente da modelli e infrastrutture straniere. L'opportunità consiste invece nello sviluppare applicazioni verticali per manifattura, sanità, finanza, Pubblica Amministrazione e industria.Confindustria propone di inserire stabilmente l'AI nei programmi universitari, non soltanto nelle discipline informatiche ma anche in economia, medicina, ingegneria, diritto e scienze sociali.Nel 2026 il Fondo di finanziamento ordinario delle università raggiunge 9,41 miliardi di euro, dei quali 2,54 miliardi assegnati attraverso criteri premiali. La fine delle risorse straordinarie del PNRR rende però necessario trasformare una parte degli investimenti temporanei in capacità permanente di ricerca e formazione.Lavoro, contratti e relazioni industrialiTestate: Corriere della Sera / Il Sole 24 Ore / Il TempoSi apre una nuova stagione della contrattazione collettiva, con l'obiettivo di recuperare il potere d'acquisto perso durante la fase inflazionistica.Il confronto non può però limitarsi agli aumenti nominali. Salari, produttività, formazione, welfare aziendale e partecipazione dei lavoratori dovranno essere integrati all'interno degli accordi.Le differenze tra settori restano molto rilevanti. Le imprese esportatrici e ad alta produttività dispongono di maggiori margini per sostenere aumenti salariali, mentre commercio, servizi e piccole aziende operano in condizioni più fragili.Il rinnovo del contratto degli infermieri prevede un incremento medio di circa 240 euro, con l'obiettivo di rendere più attrattiva una professione caratterizzata da carenza di personale, turni gravosi e crescente domanda assistenziale.
Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill tackle the Biggest Leafs Debates Right Now. They discuss which new addition faces the most pressure, who will make the biggest impact, and which newcomer is most likely to become a fan favourite. They also debate which current Maple Leaf has the most to prove heading into the 2026-27 season, which player is poised to surprise everyone, and the one move they believe John Chayka still needs to make before the season begins.

Interview with Raymond D. Harari, Director & CEO, and Enrique Reichhard, VP Exploration of Argentina MetalsRecording date: 23rd July 2026Argentina Metals Corp (TSXV:VLLC) is a Canadian-domiciled copper exploration company built around a single macro thesis: Argentina shares the same Andean geological belt that makes Chile the world's largest copper producer, yet contributes almost nothing to global supply, and that gap is starting to close now that Mendoza Province has reopened to mineral exploration. CEO and co-founder Raymond D. Harari, working alongside Chairman Dr. Titus Gebel, co-founder of Frankfurt-listed Deutsche Rohstoff AG, has spent the past year assembling one of the first district-scale, clean-title land positions in the province: 26 projects totalling approximately 146,700 hectares, free of private royalties, NSRs, back-in rights or earn-in obligations beyond what is owed to the Province of Mendoza itself.The flagship Las Estrellas Project sits within the Malargue District, roughly 1.5 kilometres from a neighbouring advanced target being drilled by Kobrea Exploration Corp's El Perdido project, and shows geological characteristics consistent with both the manto-style Río Damas Formation and the porphyry-style Huincán Formation. A December 2025 field programme returned rock chip samples as high as 9,978 ppm copper, and a January 2026 ground magnetic survey identified anomalies consistent with buried intrusive bodies and structural corridors favourable for Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold or porphyry mineralisation. Importantly, no resource has yet been defined, and the project remains at an early, reconnaissance stage.Corporately, the company has moved quickly since raising over C$5 million and listing on the TSX Venture Exchange in mid-June 2026. A Frankfurt Stock Exchange listing followed within weeks, aimed at reaching Europe's deeper mining investor base, and by early July the company had added Chris Paul (CEO, Hercules Metals) and Joaquin Marias (CEO, Argenta Silver) as technical advisors, joining VP Exploration Enrique Reichhard, a 45-year veteran of Codelco, Billiton and Teck across Latin America. The capital structure remains tight: insiders hold roughly 47% of shares outstanding under multi-year escrow, the top ten shareholders control over 70% of the register, and warrants and options represent less than 0.5% of shares outstanding.The near-term roadmap is one of triage rather than blanket drilling. Of the 26 projects, eight to ten have been ranked as priority targets using public geochemical, magnetic and spectral data combined with the December sampling programme, and these are slated for ground geophysics starting October 2026 field season. The remaining properties will move through permitting for follow-up work the following season. Harari has been candid that the company is still deciding between an aggressive, well-funded single campaign and a more gradual, multi-season approach to preserve its cap table - a decision that will shape both the pace of news flow and dilution risk for shareholders.View Argentina Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/argentina-metals-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill break down the comments made by Mitch Marner's agent, Darren Ferris, about his client's tenure with the Maple Leafs during a recent appearance on The PuckPedia Podcast. They discuss what was said, whether the criticism is fair, and why the Marner saga continues to generate headlines.They also weigh in on Patrick Kane's decision to return to the Chicago Blackhawks on a lucrative two-year contract.

Ruta's Closet tells the compelling Holocaust story of a Jewish family, imprisoned in the tiny Shavl ghetto in Lithuania, during World War II, written by journalist Keith Morgan. We are familiar with many of the great Jewish communities of the pre-war years and of their fate when they were turned into ghettos and became the scenes of mass murder and deportation. One such place that is less familiar is the Lithuanian town of Siauliai, known in Yiddish as Shavl. The few survivors of that once vibrant Jewish community have often expressed to me their sadness that it does not figure as prominently as it ought in most accounts of the Holocaust. This book redresses that balance.“The origins of Ruta's Closet trace back to 1997 when I wrote a newspaper column in Vancouver's Province about Holocaust survivor Ruth Kron Sigal, now deceased,” says Morgan. “In my long newspaper career, I'd covered many chilling true-life crimes but her story was the most remarkable I had heard.”It is the true story of how Ruth's family sought to escape the deadly clutches of Hitler's Final Solution in Lithuania. Her parents' determination to survive grew stronger as members of their Jewish family and good friends died at the hands of the Nazis and marauding armed collaborators.This important book records chilling accounts of mass murders, a cruel Nazi ban on births, forced attendance by young and old at a public hanging, the saving of a ruthless SS officer by a Jewish doctor and the transport of hundreds of ghetto children to their deaths in the gas chambers at the Auschwitz Death Camp. Such events will horrify readers but the bravery shown by the family and their neighbors make it a compelling read -- as intriguing as it is inspirational. While the narrative is fact-based, it reads like fiction, making it accessible to all generations of readers.

Canada's housing market is entering another pivotal phase as slowing construction, rising financial stress, and government intervention increasingly shape the future of real estate. While the Bank of Canada has provided borrowers with welcome stability by holding interest rates steady for a sixth consecutive meeting, mounting evidence suggests the country's housing shortage could worsen before it improves. Housing starts are falling sharply, residential building permits continue to decline, and developers across Canada are struggling to secure financing, even for fully approved projects.Two years after British Columbia introduced mandatory municipal housing targets, the results are mixed. Several municipalities have exceeded their provincial obligations, while others remain significantly behind schedule. West Vancouver has completed just 37% of its required housing, raising the possibility that the Province could eventually exercise its authority to override local zoning decisions and approve developments directly. Such intervention would represent one of the most significant shifts in municipal planning authority in decades.Canada's lending environment is showing signs of greater stability, with the Bank of Canada maintaining its policy rate at 2.25%. Economic growth has begun to recover following a sluggish period, giving buyers and sellers more confidence around borrowing costs. However, inflation remains elevated, fuelled largely by food and energy prices, leaving policymakers cautious. Most economists expect rates to remain unchanged for the remainder of the year, although the possibility of another increase has not been ruled out should inflation accelerate again.Financial pressures within the development industry continue to intensify. Another major condominium project, this time a 310-unit waterfront development in Burlington, Ontario, has entered receivership after the developer failed to secure construction financing. The project had approvals, a desirable location, and planned housing supply, yet financing challenges ultimately brought construction to a halt. Similar stories are becoming increasingly common as higher interest rates, cautious lenders, and elevated construction costs reshape Canada's development landscape.Vancouver is simultaneously introducing sweeping changes to how new development will be funded. The City's proposed Amenity Cost Charge program replaces years of negotiated community contributions with standardized fees designed to create greater transparency and predictability. Officials estimate the program will generate hundreds of millions of dollars for future community amenities, although questions remain about whether additional development costs will further challenge an industry already grappling with shrinking margins and rising insolvencies.Technology is also beginning to transform housing approvals. Burnaby has become one of the first municipalities in Canada to deploy artificial intelligence to review residential building plans before permit submission. By automatically checking projects against zoning regulations, the City hopes to significantly reduce approval timelines and accelerate housing construction without replacing human plan reviewers. If successful, the initiative could become a model adopted across Metro Vancouver.Mortgage renewals are entering their most financially challenging period as homeowners who secured historically low rates during 2021 and 2022 begin refinancing at substantially higher borrowing costs. Monthly mortgage payments are increasing by roughly 24% for many households, contributing to rising consumer insolvencies and the highest level of homeowner bankruptcies seen in a decade. At the same time, Canada's total liabilities associated with insolvency filings have more than doubled over the past ten years, highlighting growing financial strain among households.Meanwhile, the pipeline of future housing continues to weaken. Residential building permits and housing starts have both posted significant year-over-year declines, reflecting reduced developer confidence and fewer new projects entering construction. Detached home construction in British Columbia has fallen to a fraction of historical levels, while asking rents continue to decline as record numbers of purpose-built rental units enter the market amid slowing population growth. Together, these trends illustrate a housing market undergoing significant structural change, with affordability gradually improving for some buyers even as long-term supply concerns continue to mount.Metro Vancouver's market remains subdued, with sales activity tracking below last year's already historically weak levels and home prices continuing to soften. Despite improving economic stability, the combination of constrained affordability, cautious buyers, and slowing development suggests Canada's housing market remains in a period of transition—one that will likely shape real estate conditions for years to come._________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

Morgan Tuohy built the world's first dial-fit running belt in his attic — sewing a Boa dial salvaged from a worn-out pair of shoes onto a remade prototype. In this episode, he traces the line from crying through his first marathon at age 12 to launching Dera 35 days before we spoke. Morgan is candid about the failure of his first company, Near Zero Labs, and the lessons that reshaped how he builds: ask for help, pay for people's time, and don't try to be the person behind the sewing machine forever. He walks through finding a factory as a single-product startup, running email-first instead of chasing Instagram followers, and a five-minute masterclass on landing pages. Along the way, he pushes back on startup orthodoxy and shares why he wants Dera to feel like going on a run with him and his friends.Episode TopicsThe origin story: from marathon to makerBuilding prototypes in the attic and validating demandLessons from a failed first company Finding and winning over an overseas factory as a single-product startupEmail-first marketing and building an owned audienceAnatomy of the landing page and launch funnelBuilding community differently in the outdoor industryRethinking startup gospel: not being embarrassed by your first productLinksDera's websiteSign up for Second Nature's Slack communityCourier SocksRegister for the KORE SummitFor more about the KORE Outdoors Podcast, visit https://koreoutdoors.org/podcast/The KORE Outdoors Podcast is supported by the Province of British Columbia.

Episode 425: In May 1934, five identical girls were born in a farmhouse outside Corbeil, Ontario. They were the first quintuplets known to survive infancy anywhere in the world. Within weeks, the Province of Ontario had taken them from their parents. What followed was nine years inside a government-run compound called Quintland, where millions of tourists paid to watch the Dionne sisters play through one-way glass, twice a day, while their faces sold soap, cereal, and corn syrup across North America. The girls went home in 1943. The horror of what happened next took decades to come to light.

Historiansplaining: A historian tells you why everything you know is wrong
We examine how French Canada and its indigenous allies weathered the apocalyptic disasters of the mid-1600s, giving shape in the process to a new, distinctly Canadian form of mystical and penitential piety. We trace how in the 1660s, the new absolutist regime under the young Louis XIV and Colbert took the colony under direct royal rule, investing immense resources into the colonizing venture, pacifying the enemies of the French, and enabling ambitious imperial officials like Jean Talon to enlarge Canada into a full-fledged province, comprising extensive agricultural lands along the Saint Lawrence, a complex tiered social structure, an autonomous church, and a sprawling network of outposts, forts, and missions stretching as far as the Mississippi and modern-day Manitoba. Finally, we see how English expansion both in the south and in the north ended the interval of peace, reigniting war along new frontiers, and ultimately pulling Canada into a vortex of inter-imperial war from which it would never fully escape.

As stories of immigration top the national and world news headlines, Father Dave welcomes author Mary Fontana to share her experience with a unique Catholic resource that serves the vulnerable at the border. Mary spotlights Annunciation House, a migrant shelter in El Paso, TX in her new book called "Strangers in the Province of Joy: Practicing Radical Hospitality on the US - Mexico Border."
When it comes to provincial politics these days, pipelines and separatist movements are making a lot of headlines. But for many Canadians things like healthcare and housing are still the most important. In Nova Scotia, that's certainly the case, with ongoing emergency room closures, big changes to primary care access, and one of the lowest housing vacancy rates in the country.. We talk to Premier Tim Houston about what progress has been made, and what he sees as the state of this nation, after five years in office.
We're up to the early 1880s where world events are intersecting in various ways with southern African events. The mere ratification of the Pretoria Convention in 1881 failed to bring peace and prosperity to South Africa. The frenzied speculation in diamond shares reached it's height in 1881, and war expenditure had swelled the tide of fictitious prosperity which had flowed from Table Bay to Lydenburg. Now the troops and the glory departed, Natal after the pomp and ceremony of the Wolseley period, drifted into a political backwater — and yet clamoured for responsible government and an augmented imperial garrison. In the Cape, the overcapitalised diamond companies began to topple, and banks shortened credit and in 1882, the crash came. John Scanlen the Cape Prime Minister succumbed to what some called retrenchment mania and laid off judges amongst other members of the bureaucracy. Times were bad, and growing worse, with Phylloxera visiting the Western Cape vineyards, drought had smote the land and red-water fever the cattle. It was old testament level pestilence and suffering, at least if you read the journals of the time. Did I mention the outbreak of smallpox as well? How remiss. It scoured Cape Town first, this pestilence, from whence it followed the railway and wagon route to the diamond fields of Kimberley, and from there into the Orange Free State and Basotholand. Plagues of locusts chewed through what was left. For anyone who would return to an earlier epoch in South African history, believing these were golden years, perhaps the reality I've just outlined would make you recalibrate your Time Machine. SJ Du Toit launched his pro-Afrikaans campaign by the early 1880s, railing against die Engelse and the elites in the Cape who were determined to keep speaking high Dutch instead of this new form which was disparagingly called Kitchen Dutch. Emerging at this messy moment to influence South Africa forever was a lawyer who eventually became known as Lord De Villiers. It's difficult to understand this these days — in the 1880s South Africa was still a mishmash of rebels, settlers, African chiefdoms, Khoesan raiders, dirt tracker miners and trekboers, wild Baltic and Nordic merchants, American and Australian frontiersmen. Every geographical locale was represented by a different language so folks like De Villiers who obsessed over federal ideas were outliers. Self-government meant they leaned towards the Union Jack, the English, for defence, but not the Union Jack as a cloak for interference in the internal affairs of the Cape. The quarrels divided the Anglican community particularly in Natal into adherents of the Church of England, and the Church of the Province of South Africa. The two main questions were these: Must Anglican Bishops in South Africa be appointed by Letters consecrated by the Archbishop of Centebury, and secondly, was the Church in South Africa bound by acts of an Imperial Parliament in England far far away or mainly independent? De Villiers was going to decide both questions — and in doing so — would set the scene for a future South African Republic while also setting in stone, some of our concepts in South Africa of the right to practice the religion we prefer.

Hear about travel to Jerez de la Frontera and the province of Cádiz in Spain as the Amateur Traveler talks about a recent press trip to the 2026 Culinary Capital of Spain. This week's show is supported by the new Smart Travel Podcast. Travel smarter — and spend less — with help from NerdWallet. Check out Smart Travel here. This episode is based on a recent press trip to Cádiz and Jerez, with guest Kristen Henning from Travel Past 50 joining Chris to talk about why travelers should consider this corner of Andalusia. Why Visit Cádiz Province and Jerez? The focus of the trip was Jerez de la Frontera, recently named Spain's Culinary Capital for 2026. But as Chris and Kristen discovered, Jerez is not just about food. It is also about sherry, Andalusian horses, Carthusian monks, flamenco, history, and easy access to the beaches and ports of Cádiz Province. Kristen describes Jerez as best known for sherry wine production, but says there is far more to the region than she expected. Travelers will find horses, especially the Andalusian horse, a deep history stretching from Roman times to the Moors, connections to Columbus and Magellan, flamenco, beaches, golf, and a strong food culture. Chris starts by adding context for Cádiz, the oldest city in Spain, founded by the Phoenicians around 1100 BC. Cádiz later became Carthaginian, Roman, Visigothic, Moorish, and, after the Reconquest, Spanish. Its maritime history made it one of Spain's most important ports, especially once trade with the New World shifted from Seville to Cádiz. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/jerez-spain/ Learn more about your ad choices.
