Send us a textLace up your hiking boots and join us as we trek across the breathtaking landscapes of Canada! From the misty coastal paths of British Columbia to the craggy eastern shores of Newfoundland, we're exploring ten of Canada's most spectacular hiking trails that belong on every outdoor enthusiast's bucket list.Our journey begins with the legendary West Coast Trail in BC, where we share insights from friends who conquered this challenging 75km adventure featuring cable cars, ladders, and incredible wildlife viewing opportunities. The trail's lottery system makes it exclusive, but we'll tell you why it's worth trying your luck. We then head east to Alberta's mountain wonderland, exploring both the glacier-studded Berg Lake Trail beneath towering Mount Robson and the ridge-walking paradise of Jasper's Skyline Trail, where snow lingers into June but rewards summer hikers with breathtaking alpine vistas.Not every remarkable Canadian trail requires expert-level skills. We highlight the accessible Plain of Six Glaciers near Lake Louise with its historic tea house, the culturally significant Grey Owl's Cabin Trail in Manitoba, and the moderate Les Loops Trail offering spectacular views near Quebec City. For those seeking true wilderness challenges, we venture into the remote Arctic landscape of Akshayuk Pass in Nunavut, where towering peaks and extreme conditions create an unforgettable 97km adventure available only during the brief summer window. The maritime provinces shine with New Brunswick's Fundy Footpath tracing the world's highest tides and Newfoundland's extensive East Coast Trail showcasing puffin colonies, icebergs, and the easternmost point in North America.Whether you're planning your next backpacking expedition or simply dreaming of Canada's natural wonders, these trails showcase the remarkable diversity of our outdoor playground. Each path offers unique experiences, from wildlife encounters to historical connections like the La Cloche trail that inspired Group of Seven painters. Have you hiked any of these Canadian gems?

16. Join us for a special travel edition of Food with Friends as we head to Montreal & Quebec City for spring break.

There's a lot of talk about voter turnout ahead of Canada's upcoming federal election, especially when it comes to young Canadians. But low turnout isn't always an indicator of indifference. Sometimes, it's a signal that people feel left out.Samantha Reusch, executive director of Apathy is Boring, underscores how creating pathways for Gen Z and millennials to participate in civic conversations helps foster a more vibrant and responsive democracy.Reusch spoke at The Walrus Talks Wellbeing in Quebec City on June 2, 2019.To register for upcoming events happening online or in a city near you, and to catch up on our archive of The Walrus Talks, visit thewalrus.ca/events.And subscribe to The Walrus Events newsletter for updates and announcements, at thewalrus.ca/newsletters.

Quebec is a crucial battleground in this election, with enough seats to give any party a decisive lead. But with U.S. President Donald Trump's threats and tariffs roiling Canadian politics, some Quebecers only seem sure of what they're voting against, not for. As part of The Current's election series, Crossroads: Coast to Coast with Canadian Voters, Matt Galloway went to Quebec City to talk to voters about the decision they have to make.

Four more listeners make the case for their favourite vacation spots, hoping to win a place on The Current's list of great Canadian travel destinations. Alexandra Esposito tells us why she loves Quebec City; Greer Kelley takes us on a drive from Amherst to Masstown in Nova Scotia; Stef MacDiarmid shares her memories of the Nahanni River in the Northwest Territories; and Dianne Wilson shares what's so special about Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan. You can see the full shortlist and vote for your favorite on cbc.ca/thecurrent.

L. Fletcher Prouty" - direct download". Available Here. Len & Paul reflect on how they first started to communicate & their meeting in Quebec City. Len thanks Paul for going through the Garrison Files & expanding on Garrison's investigations. Paul Abbott from Australia has created a Master Index to accompany the Garrison Files. Paul will always cherish his time in Quebec City visiting with Oliver Stone, Jim DiEugenio & Len. Watch Oliver Stone's documentary "JFK Revisited: Through The Looking Glass". Watch Here. Researching on the Mary Ferrell site, Paul discovered a significant letter from 1960. Read more. Explicit information in the letter is regarding the removal of Castro from power in Cuba. As early as 1960, Lansdale was influencing in the dirty tricks category in respects to Cuba. Tactics like manipulation of information, planting false evidence, setting up Patsies, blaming people etc.. Ed Lansdale had been involved in Operation Mongoose & was a key figure in Kennedy's assassination. Col. Fletcher Prouty worked with Ed Lansdale, having detailed information about Lansdale's history. Lansdale position in the world of espionage was to aid the French resistance during WWII. During WWII, Lansdale was in the OSS & sent to the Philippines by General Charles Willoughby. Paul Helliwell will be revealed to be money behind the assassination Allen Dulles stated Lansdale was one of his best men, helping to fight off communism in Vietnam. Prior to WWII Lansdale was involved in the advertising world. Advertising is mass psychology. Both David Atlee Phillips & Ed Lansdale were experts in the art of psychological warfare. An advisor to Ramon Magsaysay, Lansdale was given the role by Dulles to fight off the Huks movement. The Huks farmers were rebelling against the forced rural reformation that was taking place in the Philippines. Lansdale later became an advisor to the French in Vietnam. Excom was the Executive Committee that Kennedy organized to help him problem solve during the crisis. Robert Kennedy, CIA's John McCone, JCS members & others were on the board of the Excom Committee. Ed Lansdale's go to person at the CIA was William K. Harvey. Harvey is another key figure in JFK's murder. Policy would be set up, directions sent to SAS, SAS would create plan to follow through with objective. Prouty had been sent to the South Pole escorting VIPS, conveniently out of the way for JFK's murderers. Previously Prouty had been involved in Eissenhower's security when he visited Mexico City. Fletcher Prouty identifies Ed Lansdale in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963. Listen as Len gives a detailed background of Prouty's timeline before the assassination. Prouty believed Lansdale was involved in Prouty being sent to the South Pole just before the assassination. Was Ed Lansdale captured walking in the photos that were taken of the three tramps in Dealey Plaza? Why would Lansdale be in Dallas? Did anyone ever asked him? No one has thought that Lansdale was a shooter in Dealey Plaza, more of an organizational support person. Prouty was able to remove documents before his retirement by having his secretaries not stamp TOP SECRET. In Prouty's last days, he offered his collection of records & government papers to Len. A small van would have been needed to transport documents, surely to bring attention at the border crossing. Oswald was made to look like he had backing from ...

Canada is the only G-7 nation without a high speed rail line, but that might be about to change.Our federal government has unveiled plans for an ambitious project, which would link Toronto and Quebec City.But will it happen?Host Kris McCusker speaks to Lavagnon Ika, Professor of Project Management at the Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa, about the potential challenges and the likelihood the project gets done. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstoryfpn on Twitter

A day in the life of rural Hungary.By FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.'Here be Dragons' wasn't always a tourist gimmick."I didn't say you could have a drink," the Vizsla commented."Oh, my apologies," I shrugged. I put the stein on a nearby table and waited."Have a seat," she directed. I came up to her table and examined the three empty chairs. I held back until she pointed to the chair opposite her. I sat down, but didn't make eye contact. Instead, I examined the various paintings and photographs on the walls. It was an old place."You killed Matthias, even though you knew he worked for me," she uttered."I can confirm that information to be correct," I looked her way. That, wasn't what she expected."Why?""Why what?" I countered. There was a method to my madness; this was going to be a lesson in competence, and what happens when you don't respect it."Why did you kill Matthias?""I needed a reason?" I tried to look pensive. "Maybe I didn't like the cut of his facial hair?""Do you think this is a joke?" she replied dryly. "The Black Hand always avenge our own.""Damn," I looked perplexed. "No one told me that when I arrived. Can we call Matthias's extermination a 50/50 bad call, both ways?""Matthias was my cousin," the Vizsla continued."My condolences," I sighed. "The next Black Hand douche-bag the Amazons waste, I'll have them ask if he's related to you first. How's that?""You are so not likely to have that opportunity," she pointed out."Oh," I laughed, "you are so wrong about that.""You are far stupider than I had been informed," the Vizsla's eyes narrowed."Nope. You and your cast of 'Dumb and Dumber' have been treating us like idiots since we touched down at Ferenc Liszt International, so I'm pretending to be that simpleton sock-puppet just for you, Vizsla. You've added to that by heaping disrespect and derision on my people," I grinned."You tried to have me and my entourage murdered and Matthias paid the price for that. Everyone knows I'm here. And after your bungled attempt to have me killed, no one is going to believe you did anything but murder me, if I don't show up eventually. Now do you prefer the stupid me, or the brighter than normal me?""If you think acting like a smart-ass is somehow endearing, you are mistaken," she let me know."Whatever," I shrugged. "You called this meeting. What do you want?""Beyond killing one of my lieutenants, I wanted to know what you are doing here?" she studied me."I would like to leave now. I'm wasting my time here," I responded."I want answers," she pressed."You have been given the answers to both your talking points, Matthias died because of your orders and I am here looking for three lost Amazon bloodlines," I replied."That seems bizarre," the Vizsla expressed her doubts."Bizarre? You are talking to the sole male Amazon House Head in three thousand years," I reminded her. "Besides, you only just now finished telling me how the Black Hand look after their own. The Amazons are the same way; we have lost kin who need to be made aware of their background.""What do we do about Matthias?" the Vizsla asked."In all honesty, had he not personally threatened to stab a member of my team, I would have settled for kicking the crap out of him. He put a knife to Ms. Martin's throat. That assured his death sentence. I think the Host will be willing to accept my hypothesis that Matthias was acting on his own initiative, which should settle the matter."And just like that, the expediency of the Black Hand shown forth. The truth of the matter was that he had acted on the Vizsla's orders. Unfortunately, that would have meant my side would have come after the Vizsla and she would have had to avenge his death, lots of needless bloodshed. So Matthias posthumously became a rabid dog gone rogue and one who ended up crossing the wrong people. No vengeance required by anyone. We could get back to business."That is settled. So, what do you want from your new allies?" the Vizsla inquired. A certain level of cold-blooded ruthlessness had been required to achieve her spot in the Black Hand. Likewise, honesty was the best policy when dealing with casually lethal people. They didn't like self-important asses wasting their time."I need to find an individual named 'Branko'. He has kidnapped a young lady who is one of our lost Amazons. We don't require any aid, but if you could leave Selena with us, it would be appreciated," I requested."What are you going to do when you catch up with this 'Branko'?" she questioned."I'd like to say I am going to buy her back, but I think we both know that is a pipe-dream. He's not going to like me interfering in his business, so I'm going to kill him, and any other bastards who are in close proximity," I confessed. She studied me for over a minute."Do you wish a piece of advice?" the Vizsla said."Of course," I nodded. It cost me nothing to acknowledge her vastly superior experience."Take a step back," she advised. Seeing that I didn't understand, "If you recall every single death by your hand, you will go mad. You don't possess the detachment of a true killer, Cáel. Not every member of the Black Hand is an assassin.Your driver, Josef, is from a long line of Black Hand members. He doesn't have what it takes to get close and personal in order to kill a human being, so he drives and provides security. He still matters and serves a necessary function." That was almost nice of her. The advice was based on her decision to keep me around as a useful tool. Going nuts would derail that."There is the life we wish to lead, and the life we must lead, Vizsla," I recalled. There was so much there, whirling around in my skull, it took me all this time to find the link I was looking for. Recall every single death by my hand, "On January 26th, 1847, the Black Hand Chapter House of the Wolf in Verona was wiped out, there were no survivors.""If you say so," she regarded me oddly."Yeah, look into it. Then come back to me when you have the right questions," I stood up. "And 'Branko'?""I will relay information on this individual to Selena. We should have something by the time you get back to Buda," she got out before one of the bodyguards came running our way.He had his H and K MP5 out and was in deep conversation with his ear piece."Our two spotters failed to respond correctly," he told the Vizsla in Hungarian. She gave me another quick once over."My people?" I rose slowly.The Vizsla gave the man a subtle hand gesture. Seconds later, pushing Alkonyka ahead of them, Pamela, Selena and Josef came running through the door. Pamela and Selena had our duffels. Two more Black Hand materialized from a back room.The Black Hand was actually a small outfit. Each Chapter had two or three houses, each with four or five true assassins and maybe six times that in support personnel/recruits in each location. That meant the entire Black Hand organization numbered less than 1000. They had several thousand peripheral contacts across their sphere of Europe and they could purchase some sort of private security given time. But their best protection was their hidden nature and small size. That also meant what we had was what we had. There was no Black Hand SWAT team on the way.Working with hand gestures alone, the Vizsla was directing us to a trap door behind the bar. Josef's phone rang. He hesitantly answered."It is for you," he offered it to our host. She took it. Halfway through the caller's diatribe, she shot me a suspicious look."Why don't you ask him?" she stated, then handed me the phone."Hello Nyilas. Do you know who this is?" the man on the other end stated, in Mycenean Greek."Yes, I do. What do you want? I'm kind of busy here?" I grinned. It was laughing at death all over again."I can relieve you of your pressing schedule. You and the other Amazon step outside and I'll make it quick.""No can-do Studly," I smirked. "If I go out there, it is going to take a while.""I sincerely doubt that.""Don't sell yourself short," I jibed. "I figure clipping off those bull-sized testicles of yours is going to take some work. But I do promise that after I make you a eunuch, I'll use a condom when I bend you over and make you my bitch too. Was there anything else you wanted to know?""No. I think we have a mutual understanding," he laughed. "I'll be seeing you soon." He hung up."Who was that?" Vizsla inquired. She wasn't alone in her curiosity."Ajax," I beamed confidence. I was confident my tenure on this Earth was ending real soon."I think we should be leaving," Vizsla suggested."Selena, help Alkonyka get her sister back," I requested. "I'll catch up when I can. Pamela, you do what you feel you need to do. Vizsla, they are after me, so I'm going to keep them busy while you get away," I explained.No useless 'you don't have to do this' nonsense. She knew the score, I wasn't a member of her outfit and she wanted to live. She did do me one favor. She gave another hand movement. Selena slit Josef's throat in a surprise motion.He didn't die right away. Selena's slash made bleeding out inevitable, but he'd be a while in dying. Odds were, that only Vizsla and Josef knew in advance where we were meeting. Whatever payoff the Condottieri had put in his bank account wasn't going to do him any good. Selena bent over his still-thrashing body and removed his pistol."I will bring you Angyalka Lovasz," Selena pledged. Pamela and I were gearing up. Ajax and his buddies were going to be coming for me any second now. Alkonyka gave me one more worried look before she vanished into the secret basement. "Don't be late," was the last thing Selena said before going down into the darkness. Pamela made sure the trap door was covered up.Lust and Bullets"We've used Butch and Sundance," Pamela checked her L42 Enfield Sniper Rifle. It was the weapon Pamela had trained with and used for longer than I'd been alive, old yet very effective even today."Heat?" I offered up. "You can be De Niro and I can be Kilmer.""Nice. Michael Mann really had a way of killing people," Pamela grinned, then pumped her eyebrows. "Too bad I end up dead in this one.""We'll avoid airports, you should be safe," I joked. Three explosions rocked the building, shooting glass throughout the place. Fortunately, Pamela and I were hiding behind the bar."Let's go," she whispered over the din. Charging out the front door seemed pretty suicidal to me, but Pamela's copious battle lore was something I had the utmost faith in. I respected her judgment and followed along. There was a method to her madness. Two 40 mm grenades had taken out the two cars parked in front. A third launched grenade had blown open the door.The petrol in the cars equated to flaming wreckage and a huge smoke screen. It was broad daylight, no night vision goggles. The flames made IR useless and the smoke temporarily obscured regular vision. The machineguns going off around us scared the crap out of me. It was my old buddy, suppression fire: they weren't shooting directly at us.Metaphysically, Ishara was dueling with Ares. There was a low stone wall, a little over a meter high, that separated an adjacent field from the inn's gravel parking lot. Right as we got to our side of it, three of Ajax's boys came up on the other. Pamela and I remained perfectly still, crouching tightly against our shelter.Two knelt and fired several bursts from their H and K HK416 (Wow! Germany's newest killing machine, they looked slick) into the closest open windows while the third one fired a grenade in. Again, we remained perfectly still. We were about two meters from those three. The drab color of our hastily donned dusters, the congested air and our stillness combined to save us from their notice.The second after that grenade went off, the three vaulted the wall and rushed the building. From the cacophony of the battle, they were storming the building from several directions at once."Quick, go find that guy with the machinegun," Pamela whispered over a feral grin. How was I going to do that?The old fashioned way, I leapt over the wall and ran away from all the flames, explosions and the continuous widespread fusillade of assault weapons fire. I was partially bent over as I ran. I'm still a big guy though. The machine gunner was in a shallow dip in the meadow 30 meters away, on the edge of the woods.He saw me, shifted his MG4 (fuck Ajax and his crew for having the best Bang-Bangs) minutely and unleashed hell my way. In hindsight, the 1st round flattened against my duster as it impacted my upper left thigh. Round #2 hit the duster again, coming below my vest, but hitting my belt (every bit of leather helps).The #3 556 mm slug hit my vest due south of my belly button (Fuck!), # 4 landed a few centimeters up and to the right, taking in both the duster and my ballistic vest. The #5 round clipped my lower side of my right ribcage. The resulting force sent me spinning back and to my right.Honestly, as I landed hard on my back (no rolling with the blow this time), I thought a midget mule team had kicked me in the guts. Apparently, I made a convincing mortally wounded human being. He stopped shooting and Pamela got pissed.I learned a few things at that moment: you do not get used to being shot; you can never appreciate the value of good body amour enough; you can never understand the true value of a sniper until your life is totally in their hands; and damn, Pamela was exceptional. Pamela put a bullet through his nasal cavity in that split second between him exposing himself with his muzzle flashes and deciding to put a few more bullets into my prone form.Pain dictated that I lie where I was. Survival instincts overrode that. I went to my side, pushed up and resumed my crouched stance. Then I was running once more until I could throw myself beside his corpse. I was stunningly calm. Machineguns, snipers, I had to cover Pamela's run across the meadow. I didn't stay by the dead gunner.I grabbed his weapon, some spare ammo and quick-stepped it to the wood line. I rapidly assessed the best spot that could provide cover from each flank. That was where I went down, cradled the device and started shooting at any muzzle flash I could see. The moment I opened fire, Pamela began her own sprint.Unlike my mad dash, Pamela took evasive maneuvers, serpentine, which worked out well when one sniper figured out she wasn't one of them. He/she had two shots at her before she dove past me. Her mien was one of intense, emptiness? She gave me a quick pat-down to make sure I wasn't gushing blood, took a deep breath and then smirked."Come on, Dummy!" she laughed. "We still have a shot at a sequel.""Shot, sequel, you are a laugh riot," I wheezed as I stood, abandoned the MG4 and joined her as we both ran deeper into the woods. A few shots zinged past us before Ajax's crew realized we were in full-on flight mode. They weren't going to waste the bullets.This was the point where archaic and modern warfare diverged. In the olden (pre-Pamela, ow! How did she know what I was thinking?) days, when your enemy broke and ran, it was relatively easy to run them down and slaughter them in their panic. If a few men tried to stem the tide, they would be quickly overwhelmed.After the invention of rapid-fire rifles, that changed. Suddenly, headlong pursuit could be incredibly costly. All it took was a small, resolute band to find some sort of hard cover and they could buy minutes, or even hours, for their retreating brethren. Sure, if you were willing to pay the butcher's bill, you could storm their position.But you had to understand, each defender could fire and work the bolt action in under three seconds. You reloaded your magazine with a prepared clip ~ maybe five more seconds. Ten men could put 150 bullets down range per minute as long as their ammo held out. Sending men into that kind of firepower was murder; very few troops could sustain their attack under those conditions.Ajax's resurrected Mycenaean's were tough enough to do it. Ajax's problem was their finite number. Despite catching Ajax off-guard with Pamela's mad plan, her ungodly skills and a great deal of my pain, we had only managed to kill one so far. The great unknowns were terrain (we didn't know where we were,) and my luck.As Pamela and I ran through the forest at a good clip, we began to make out a specific background noise. It was a river. Not a creek, stream, waterfall, or dam, a river."Did you pack your jet ski?" Pamela snorted."I left it in the car. You said it was so '1990's'," I panted back. A few more footsteps and,

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened continued to lose ground this morning from yesterday's decline - opening down 73-points at 23,530 on turnover of 5.1-billion N-T. The market fell on Wednesday after U-S President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 25-per cent tariff on chips, cars and pharmaceuticals (藥品). Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing was the focus of selling - as its share price shed 0.91-per cent. The stock's losses contributed about 80-points to the Tai-Ex's total decline for the day and sent the electronics index lower by 0.38-per cent, while the semiconductor sub-index was down 0.57-per cent. Lai calls Taiwan 'a chess player, not a chess piece' President Lai Ching-te is describing Taiwan as "a chess player, not a chess piece" in the shifting geopolitical climate. Lai made the statement during a meeting of the D-P-P's Central Standing Committee, as he's seeking to reaffirm his administration's commitment to strengthening the island's defense through increased spending and reforms (改革). D-P-P spokeswoman Han Ying says Lai expressed confidence Taiwan will be able to successfully navigate the rapidly changing international landscape … .. while at the same time, ensuring national security and preserving its leading position in the global semiconductor supply chain. More free flu vaccines to be available from today And, The Centers for Disease Control says 100,000 doses of newly purchased flu vaccines for the free government-funded program are now available to high-risk groups. The vaccines passed inspection last Friday before being distributed (散發、分配) to local health authorities for today's rollout. Distribution of the flu vaccines doses comes as the C-D-C reported just over 148,000 hospital visits for flu-like illness last week. The additional flu-vaccines doses are available to individuals aged 65 and over, infants over the age of 6 months, preschool children and those at higher risk of contracting the flu. UN Warns of Rebel Offensive in Congo Top United Nations officials in Africa have warned an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council that the offensive of Rwanda-backed rebels in mineral-rich eastern Congo is threatening peace in the wider region. A U.N. special envoy for Congo urged the council on Wednesday to take "urgent (緊迫的) and decisive steps to avert a wider regional war.” The U.N. special envoy for the Africa's Great Lakes region said the recent seizure of major cities in eastern Congo by M23 rebels show that “the risk of a regional conflagration is more real today than ever before.” France's U.N. ambassador called for the council to adopt a resolution urging an end to the M23 offensive. US Texas Measles Outbreak Spreads to Vaccinated A measles outbreak linked to unvaccinated children in West Texas is now spreading to (擴散，蔓延) vaccinated individuals. Health officials say four people who have had their jabs, are among those infected. Toni Waterman has more. Canada Announces HSR Plans The Canadian government says it is moving ahead with a multi-billion dollar plan to build a high-speed rail network between Quebec City and Toronto. The planned rail network will be 100% electric, span approximately 1,000 kilometers, and reach speeds of up to 300 kilometers per hour. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told a news conference the government will commit the equivalent of (等值) $2.74 billion US dollars over six years to iron out specifics before construction can begin. Officials say it's too soon to estimate the final cost of the project or when it will be completed. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

U.S. President Donald Trump calls Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a dictator. Zelenskyy says Trump is living in a Russian-made disinformation space. The barbs are another sign of the deterioration of the relationship between them. Trump's words and willingness to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin are a dramatic reversal of U.S. foreign policy.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Ottawa has reached another stage in a plan to build high speed rail between Toronto and Quebec City. The next phase is expected to cost $3.9 billion. The project has been promised for decades and is still years away. Trudeau used the announcement as an opportunity to tout it as the largest infrastructure project in the country's history, promising it will bring jobs, and use Canadian suppliers.The Indian city of Pune is facing an outbreak of Guillan-Barre Syndrome. It's a rare disorder where the immune system attacks nerve cells, causing muscle weakness and paralysis. It could be a sign of infrastructure not keeping up with urbanization. Health officials say a contaminated well on the outskirts of the city is likely to blame.Plus: Runways still closed at Pearson, Danielle Smith on Alberta Health Services controversy, CAF recruiting, and more.

Canada's Ambassador to the U.S. Kirsten Hillman responds to President Donald Trump's latest threat of auto tarifs 'in the neighbourhood of 25 per cent.' Transport Minister Anita Anand defends the timing and cost of the development of a high-speed rail line between Quebec City and Toronto. Plus, how Canada is responding to Trump labelling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy 'a dictator.'

This podcast episode of "Sens Callups" covers a variety of topics related to the Ottawa Senators hockey team, including game recaps, team management, and fan reactions. The three hosts are Kardinal, Canuck, and Pan. Here's a breakdown of the key discussion points: Team Performance and Roster: The hosts discuss recent games, including losses against the Rangers and Bruins, and a win against the Leafs. There's also talk about the team's performance in back-to-back games and the team's position in the standings. They analyze individual player performances, such as Forsberg's and Maril Linen's goaltending, as well as scoring from players like Stutzo and Pinto. The potential return of Omar is mentioned. Controversy Regarding Quebec City Games: A significant portion of the episode focuses on the controversy surrounding the possibility of the Senators playing regular season games in Quebec City. The hosts discuss fan concerns about season ticket renewals, potential double-dipping on ticket sales, and the team's marketing approach, including the use of a split jersey featuring a defunct Quebec Nordiques logo. There is also discussion on the team's relationship with the Quebec market and the appropriateness of using the team's mascot, Sparty, in a split jersey. The hosts also discuss the possibility that this was a ploy to push the NCC to make a deal regarding the new arena. Ticket Pricing and Fan Frustration: The hosts express concern about the high cost of tickets, particularly for games against the Toronto Maple Leafs. They also discuss the team's dynamic pricing strategy and how it may be pricing out their own fans, making it easier for visiting fans to attend games in Ottawa. The hosts also read an email from a listener that uses an analogy to describe how the arena has been overrun by Leafs fans. They also discuss the idea of locking tickets for resale or transfer, but at a lower cost, to prevent visiting fans from buying up tickets. Goalie Situation: The hosts discuss the team's goalie situation with the return of injured goalies. They debate whether to keep all three goalies or trade one for other assets. The hosts also discuss the number of goalies used in the past season. Potential Player Acquisitions: The hosts discuss potential trades, including the possibility of acquiring Elias Patterson or JT Miller, but ultimately conclude that it isn't worth the risk to disrupt the team's core at this time. Other Team News: The hosts talk about a potential tariff on the podcast for American listeners, the team's frustration with the National Capital Commission (NCC) regarding the new arena, and other team-related news. They also touch on a recent three-team trade. Podcast Fun: The hosts also have a segment where they answer fun questions like favorite chocolate bars, what they wanted to be as kids, and their first movie star crushes. This episode provides a comprehensive overview of the Ottawa Senators' current situation, while also delving into various controversies and fan concerns, with a bit of light-hearted fun thrown in. Oh and if you can make it through outro, have a listen to the AI created podcast on the episode - it's kind of crazy what tech can do!  You'll hear the mistakes, but this was a conversation generated in 2 minutes!

We get into the fan backlash over the Senators playing games in Quebec City and the mascot wearing the Nordiques jersey. Sparta-chat? The Sens are weekend warriors, sweeping three Saturday-Sunday back-to-backs in a row. Brady Tkachuk's stats already put him among the Senators' all-time leaders. And the Sens place one of their wingers on waivers, likely bound for Belleville.

Postmedia Senators Columnist Bruce Garrioch joined OverDrive to discuss the fallout from the Quebec City announcement, the disappointment from fans for the team, Spartacat's half-Senators and half-Quebec Nordiques jersey, the outlook of the team playing in Quebec City, the team's race in the Eastern Conference and more.

Join Bryan Hayes, Jeff O'Neill and Jamie McLennan for Hour 1 on OverDrive! The guys discuss the Senators' fallout of playing games in Quebec City, Spartacat's half-Sentors and half-Quebec Nordiques jersey and the views from the fans and Calle Jarnkrok returning to practice with the Maple Leafs. Postmedia Senators Columnist Bruce Garrioch joins to discuss the Senators playing games in Quebec City, the conundrum with the half jersey and the team's race to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

On the Senators missteps on their trip to Quebec City, trying to grow their brand in Quebec and the Martimes, BSens head coach David Bell and texts.

NHL analyst Frankie Corrado on the Senators enjoying a bit of a break, FanDuel and Leafs fans storming the CTC.

The TGL after four weeks, Senators in a playoff spot, Sens make some noise in Quebec City, Spartacat wearing a split jersey and reaction from Sens fans.

Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne are joined by Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman to break down Friday night's surprise blockbuster that sent Mikko Rantanen to Carolina. The crew discuss previous contract negotiations between Rantanen and Colorado, the winger's likelihood of signing with the Hurricanes, the Vancouver Canucks' trade market, and the announcement of preseason games scheduled in Quebec City next year. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee (33:57) chat Alex Pietrangelo's decision to withdraw from the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament and his likely replacement, and Logan Thompson's new deal in Washington.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” – Robert Frost Guest Introduction:  Welcome to Exploring the Seasons of Life: Travel Edition. I'm Cindy MacMillan, your host and the owner of Pangea World Travel Agency, a boutique agency located on the Space Coast of Florida. As I record this episode on January 6, 2025, we've just celebrated the holidays—but let me tell you, now is the perfect time to start dreaming about next year's festive season. Why? Because magical winter getaways don't just happen; they're planned. Picture this: a holiday wonderland brought to life with twinkling lights and the sweet scent of mulled wine in the air. Join us for an unforgettable trip to the Christmas Markets of Montreal and Quebec City, happening December 3rd–9th, 2025. This experience is perfect for friends and empty nesters who want to blend nostalgia with the enchantment of holiday magic. So settle in and let's start planning a journey that will fill your heart with joy and your holidays with unforgettable memories. Travel isn't just about where you go—it's about who you become along the way. Here's a glimpse of our conversation:  Now, it's my pleasure to introduce today's guest, Kim Foy 1:31 I've been working with Collette for 15 years, and it has been an incredible journey. I started as a tour manager, a role I absolutely loved because travel has always been such an important part of my life. About eight years ago, I decided to return to my roots in sales and became the Business Development Manager for Central Florida. In this role, I continue to help people explore the world. 2:10 Collette is a family-owned and operated company with deep roots in the travel industry. As the oldest tour operator in the United States, we've been continuously operating for 107 years, offering exceptional travel experiences. 6:29 This is a two-city tour featuring Quebec City and Montreal, two destinations that offer a charming, European-like atmosphere right here in North America. It's a fantastic way to experience the magic of Christmas markets without needing to travel all the way to Germany or across the Atlantic. 9:45 The beauty of this trip is that all travelers need to do is pack their suitcase—Collette takes care of the rest. We provide all the essential information to make the journey seamless. The tour manager plays a vital role as a leader, facilitator, and even a friend. They're there to assist with any concerns, such as mobility issues, and can address them discreetly to ensure everyone has a comfortable and enjoyable experience. 13:04 The transportation provided is always a deluxe motor coach, allowing you to sit back, relax, and take in the beautiful scenery without the stress of driving or parking. Since this tour includes just two destinations, you'll enjoy multiple-night stays in each hotel, giving you plenty of time to settle in and fully experience each location. 25:52 First and foremost, make sure you have a valid passport—it's an essential investment for any traveler. When planning your journey, working with a reputable company like Collette or a trusted travel advisor, like yourself, ensures a smooth and worry-free experience. It's similar to relying on a specialized doctor or attorney—you can place your trust in their expertise and guidance I want to share an exciting opportunity! On January 23rd at 2:00 PM Eastern, Kim and I, both based in Florida, will be hosting a Christmas Markets of Montreal and Quebec City Zoom session. We'll cover much of the same information but in greater depth, featuring beautiful photos and additional details to inspire your journey. To join, simply email me at cindy@pangeaworldtravelagency.com, and I'll send you the Zoom link. Please note, you'll need to sign up in advance. Additionally, mark your calendar for an in-person meeting about the Christmas Markets of Montreal and Quebec City on February 12th at 1:00 PM Eastern. We can't wait to connect with you and share more about this incredible experience!

"Wine is bottled poetry." - Robert Louis Stevenson Guest Introduction:  Welcome to Exploring the Seasons of Life: Travel Edition! I'm Cindy MacMillan, and it's an absolute joy to share this adventure with you. Travel isn't just about where you go—it's about who you become along the way. And I'm so glad you're here, ready to start this journey together. If you love today's episode, I'd be so grateful if you shared it with your friends, spread the word on social media, or left a quick rating and review. Your support means everything—it helps us reach more travelers and dreamers just like you. Let's keep inspiring meaningful journeys together. Thanks for being part of the Exploring the Seasons of Life: Travel Edition community! Now, it's my pleasure to introduce today's guest, Karen Gregory. Karen Gregory is a lover of travel, good food, and great wine!  Her wine travel adventures have included Italy, Spain, Greece, Croatia, Canada, Argentina, Uruguay, California, Oregon, and Washington, as well as little hidden gems in Rhode Island, the Ozarks, and Door County.  Through her travels, her passion and appreciation for culture, ambiance, and wine experiences have grown and she's here to share that with us! Here's a glimpse of our conversation:  3:22   I've developed a deep appreciation for a wide variety of wines. It wasn't something I grew up around or knew much about in my twenties. Even in my thirties, I was just beginning to explore and try wines from different regions. 6:34 Five years later, most of my go-to wines are either from biofarms or biodynamic producers. They're organic, and many are even natural, which is considered the highest standard if you're looking for completely clean wines. 9:45 You've probably heard me mention Chateau Ste. Michelle many times. I'm not paid to promote them—I just genuinely love their wine. Even though they're conventional, I enjoy them, and I feel good when I drink them. 10:37 Here's the deal with Old World and New World wines. When I think of Old World, I automatically think of Europe—places like France, Italy, Spain, and naturally Portugal. Those regions just embody what we consider Old World. 16:01 Everyone loves the idea and ambiance of drinking wine in Tuscany—it sparks so much imagination. But Italy has so many incredible wine regions, and Tuscany is just one of them. That said, it does produce some truly great wines. 19:27 Here's the big takeaway for anyone listening: get out there and try some wine! If you love a good Cabernet Sauvignon, start by buying bottles from different regions. Try at least two to compare, then maybe add a third or fourth. Keep experimenting and refining your preferences, because every Cab is unique, and this process will help you discover what you truly like and don't like. 21:32 I'm probably not the best person to ask since I'm not a certified sommelier. BREAK: We're going to take a quick 30-second break—don't go anywhere! I have something truly special to share. Picture this: a magical winter wonderland where enchanting Christmas markets come alive. Join us December 3rd to 9th, 2025, for an unforgettable festive getaway to the Christmas Markets of Montreal and Quebec City with Collette.

, aka MH, uniquely bridges business and psychology. With a Ph.D. in Psychology and an MBA, MH has had an extensive career as a leadership psychologist, executive coach, and senior leader in the corporate, insurance and governance sectors. Her award-winning book, , was named a “Top 5 Book to Read” by Inc. Magazine and Forbes. During our interview, MH discussed her formative years, her educational journey in Quebec, her diverse professional development experiences, and her evolution from psychology into management. We delved into the importance of resilience, flexibility, strategic planning, and the integration of psychology and business for leaders and professionals. As a child growing up in Quebec City, MH enjoyed family trips to outdoor locations beyond the city, where she had the chance to explore and experience a sense of adventure and taking risks. She related this concept of adventure to her early career experiences as a psychologist when she lived in a more remote area of Quebec where mental health services were not plentiful. Yet, the needs were great in various settings. MH prepared herself to work there by taking additional courses to expand her credentials, enabling her to work in the courts, schools, and hospitals. She had to be strategic in this way to make a living doing work she felt was most important. Within the year, however, her plans changed, and she moved across the country to British Columbia to pursue her Ph.D. That presented some challenges as the rules regulating her psychology credentials varied between the provinces, and she had to take a few extra steps to achieve her goal. While on that journey, MH was able to develop other work options by asserting herself and taking some risks. It all paid off. Today, MH combines her business and clinical expertise, translating research about health, performance, resilience, and overcoming challenges into strategies professionals, leaders, and their teams need to thrive. She is a Member of the Global Clinical Practice Network of the World Health Organization and a past Director on the boards of the Canadian Psychological Association and the International Association of Applied Psychology. She has presented and authored numerous industry and academic publications, and many academic and industry awards have recognized her work. MH is a highly rated instructor at the University of British Columbia, Sauder School of Business, Executive Education. She is a member of the Harvard Business Review Advisory Council, an opt-in research community of business professionals. Learn more and connect with Dr. Pelletier here:
