Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. Rudyard and Janice open the show with last night's Canadian English language leaders' debate. Rudyard thinks that Pierre Poilievre looked prime ministerial for the first time in this campaign, while Mark Carney showed a calmness and dexterity for someone with limited political experience. Bottom line: it was a good night for both leaders but it won't move the needle much. Furthermore, it's past time to rethink how the leaders' debate commission conducts election debates which fail to test leaders to the benefit of undecided voters. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice talk about Trump's very combative and controversial week: defying the courts and America's commitment to due process for illegal immigrants, a fight with Harvard University which could have broad implications on universities across the US, and his public condemnation of Jerome Powell, the chair of the US federal reserve, because he doesn't like the bank's restrictive rates and the inflationary threat they represent. Trump's willingness to engage in public battles and ignore basic laws signal an unconstrained chaos with no end in sight.

Helix Exploration PLC CEO Bo Sears talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's development progress at its Rudyard project in Montana. Sears said the company is “progressing nicely” with the Linda #1 well and is on track to begin producing helium by the end of summer. He pointed to strong early results from both Darwin #1 and the acquisition of the Weil #1 well, expressing optimism about long-term production capacity. He described Rudyard as “quite large relative to our peers,” adding that it may support up to 20 wells—substantially more than originally anticipated. This scale opens the potential for on-site helium liquefaction, with HeLIX already acquiring 20 acres in preparation. Sears referenced a 1977 US Bureau of Mines study that estimated the field's potential at 2.60 billion cubic feet of helium. With new drilling data, including from Linda #1 and re-perforated Weil #1, the company expects to significantly update resource estimates. The company anticipates up to 4 billion cubic feet of recoverable helium, which Sears noted could make Helix one of the largest helium producers in the US. Sears also confirmed ongoing discussions with off-takers and potential interest in geological hydrogen from deeper zones. Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more interviews.

HeLIX Exploration PLC (AIM:HEX) CEO Bo Sears talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest expansion at its Rudyard Project in Montana. Sears highlighted the acquisition of the Weil #1 well and its surrounding 640-acre section, which effectively doubles Helix's production capacity. The purchase, completed for $300,000, presents significant value compared to the estimated $1.3 million cost of drilling a new well. Sears explained that Rudyard's helium potential has been known since Texaco's 1960 drilling, but only recently has its full scale been realised. With ongoing development, Helix is transitioning from an exploration-focused approach to a development drilling program, significantly reducing risks in future wells. The company is also preparing to spud the Linda #1 well in April, pending regulatory approvals. Additionally, Sears confirmed that the Darwin #1 well is ready for production as soon as the necessary plant infrastructure is in place. On the Ingomar project, he noted that while initial gas samples were noncommercial, future drilling in the Flathead formation is planned after environmental restrictions lift in mid-June.

The company recently acquired a helium processing plant for $500,000, representing a significant discount to the $4 million cost of building a new facility.The company's flagship Rudyard field in Montana has proven reserves of at least 300 million cubic feet of helium, valued at approximately $200 million at current market prices of $400-500 per thousand cubic feet (mcf). This valuation starkly contrasts the company's current market capitalization of £20 million. The field's production features a commercially attractive helium concentration of 1.1%, with inert nitrogen balance, simplifying the processing requirements.Helix plans to bring its first well into production by mid-summer 2025, with the recently acquired pressure swing adsorption (PSA) plant being relocated to Montana. The company also plans to drill 2-3 additional wells in 2025, each costing $1.2 million to drill and complete.The broader helium market context makes this development particularly timely. Helium is a critical, non-substitutable element for high-tech manufacturing, particularly in semiconductor production and MRI machines. Over the past two decades, the market has experienced several severe shortages, with prices spiking to $1,000/mcf during supply constraints.Current market dynamics suggest these supply challenges may intensify. Major industrial gas companies, which historically controlled helium production as a byproduct of natural gas operations, are already operating at maximum capacity. Meanwhile, Russia's exclusion from Western markets has removed a significant supply source, while Algeria and Qatar remain the primary international producers.The U.S. CHIPS Act is expected to drive increased domestic demand as new semiconductor manufacturing facilities are built. These facilities require substantial helium volumes for silicon wafer production, adding pressure to an already constrained market.CEO Bo Sears said, "Without helium, we are living in the Stone Age. It is so valuable in chip manufacturing and in MRI scanners. The high-tech list goes on and on." The company's strategic advantage lies in its focus on primary helium production, rather than helium as a byproduct, and its ability to scale production through its modular PSA plant design.This combination of proven reserves, near-term production capability, and favorable market dynamics positions Helix to capitalize on the growing demand for domestic helium supply in an undersupplied market.View Helix Exploration's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/helix-explorationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. The following is a sample of the Munk Debates’ weekly current affairs podcast, Friday Focus. Rudyard and Janice open the show with the surprising events out of Ottawa this week: finance minister Chrystia Freeland resigning in a blistering rebuke of the Prime Minister just hours before she was due to present the fall economic statement. What is next for the embattled Justin Trudeau? And what happens if the country is forced to wait through months of a liberal leadership race without a functioning government to face the existential challenges from the incoming Trump administration? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice talk about Trump's joke that Canada should become America's 51st state. Should Canadians take Trump's joke as a serious threat? Is this the beginning of a sinister plan to bring Canada into the US?

And how should Trudeau respond to Trump's plan to impose tariffs on Canadians goods? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice talk about the grim financial outlook for Canada. With a ballooning debt how is the government going to be able to provide important services to Canadians? And how will government spending and employment growth coming primarily from the public sector handicap Canada's efforts to grow the economy? Some strong fiscal medicine might be what is required to remind us that we need to change course or risk a financial crisis.

The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. The following is a sample of the Munk Debates' weekly current affairs podcast, Friday Focus. Democracies are in trouble from South Korea to France to the U.S., where voters have lost trust in political elites, especially in France where the blowback to Macron's brand of politics has made room for the ascendency of the far-right under Marine Le Pen. Rudyard and Janice then turn their focus to the U.S. where President Biden has conferred an unconditional pardon on his son Hunter Biden, with speculation that he might pardon any politician or civil servant who could face prosecution from a vengeful Trump administration. This controversial move would be unwise, Rudyard argues, setting a dangerous precedent and confirming voters' suspicions that elites are not subject to the same consequences as everyone else. In the final moments of the show Ruydyard and Janice turn to Syria, where rebels have renewed their offensive against the Assad regime and taken over key battleground areas. Could this successful push have anything to do with Iran's weakening in the region, as a result of Israel's military successes against its proxies?  To access full-length editions of the Friday Focus podcast consider becoming a donor to the Munk Debates for as little as $25 annually, or $.50 per episode.

What could be some of the economic motivations of a second Trump presidency bent on trillions of tax cuts while U.S. debts and deficits have exploded in recent years? Are Canadian policy makers attune to these new political and economic dynamics or are we at risk of running a stale dated play book on trade and tariffs ill suited to the reality of the moment?

We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless.   Report on Food For the Poor by Charity Navigator https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/592174510   -------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer from ACU.
