Sprzedaż państwowej ziemi w gminie Baranów, ważnej dla budowy Centralnego Portu Komunikacyjnego, wywołała falę politycznych komentarzy i wzajemnych oskarżeń. Były minister rolnictwa Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski w Radiu Wnet podkreśla, że decyzja o zbyciu działki była nie tylko błędna, ale i sprzeczna z interesem państwa.Sprawa jest szalenie poważna. Nigdy nie powinno być zgody Ministerstwa Rolnictwa na sprzedaż tej ziemi– powiedział. Jak dodał, działka wchodziła w kompleks planowanego CPK i powinna pozostać w rękach Skarbu Państwa, niezależnie od jej położenia.Ardanowski przypomniał, że przedsiębiorcy dzierżawiący grunty państwowe mogą wystąpić o ich wykup, ale decyzja o sprzedaży nigdy nie jest obligatoryjna.To jest decyzja uznaniowa. Państwo nie ma żadnego interesu, by takie działki sprzedawać prywatnej osobie, zwłaszcza jeśli mają znaczenie strategiczne– podkreślił.Były minister wyjaśnił, że każda sprzedaż gruntów Skarbu Państwa powyżej pięciu hektarów wymaga zgody ministra konstytucyjnego. Dlatego jego zdaniem odpowiedzialność za tę decyzję spoczywa na kierownictwie resortu.Tłumaczenie, że minister Telus o niczym nie wiedział, jest słabe. To jego kompetencja– ocenił Ardanowski. Przyznał też, że zna wiceministra Romanowskiego z czasów swojej kadencji.Ja doprowadziłem do tego, że on odszedł z ministerstwa. Nie mogłem współpracować z ludźmi, do których nie miałem pełnego zaufania– zaznaczył.Wątpliwości prawne i rola prokuraturyW ocenie Ardanowskiego w całej sprawie kluczowa może okazać się treść aktu notarialnego. Jak wskazał, w standardowych umowach sprzedaży ziemi państwowej znajduje się klauzula pozwalająca KOWR na odkupienie działki w ciągu pięciu lat w razie „zmiany okoliczności”.Jeśli tej formuły nie ma, pozostaje tylko droga unieważnienia aktu notarialnego– wyjaśnił.Były minister nie ukrywa, że afera wokół działki to poważne obciążenie wizerunkowe dla jego środowiska politycznego.To flagowa inwestycja Polski, a okazuje się, że doszło tam do jakiegoś szwindlu– stwierdził. Podkreślił, że odpowiedzialność polityczną muszą ponieść osoby, które podjęły błędne decyzje.PiS nie ma wyjścia. Musi to wypalić do końca. Winni muszą jednoznacznie ponieść karę– dodał.

Wirtualna Polska poinformowała w poniedziałek, że tuż przed końcem rządów Prawa i Sprawiedliwości Ministerstwo Rolnictwa i Rozwoju Wsi wydało zgodę na sprzedaż 160 hektarów państwowej ziemi w gminie Baranów – terenu uznawanego za kluczowy dla budowy Centralnego Portu Komunikacyjnego.Transakcję – wskazano – przeprowadził Krajowy Ośrodek Wsparcia Rolnictwa, mimo że spółka CPK sprzeciwiała się sprzedaży, wskazując, że działka ma znaczenie strategiczne dla planowanych inwestycji – miały tam powstać tory kolejowe, magazyny, punkty usługowe i osiedla mieszkaniowe.Jak czytamy, nowym właścicielem został wiceprezes prywatnej firmy Dawtona, a teren sprzedano za 22,8 mln zł. Według szacunków dziennikarzy Wirtualnej Polski wartość nieruchomości może wzrosnąć nawet do 400 mln zł po zmianie jej przeznaczenia. W artykule zwrócono także uwagę, że w czasie kampanii wyborczej minister rolnictwa Robert Telus odwiedzał rodzinną firmę biznesmena, który ostatecznie kupił tę działkę.Telus komentował te doniesienia w Radiu Wnet. W rozmowie z Jaśminą Nowak oznajmił, że o “tę sprawę tak naprawdę poznał z artykułu”.Nie wiem, od tego są służby, niech sprawdzą. Ani ja tej decyzji nie podejmowałem, ani nie wiem do końca, o co chodzi – powiedział Telus. Były minister przyznał, że nie był informowany o żadnym wniosku dotyczącym sprzedaży działki w Baranowie i – jak twierdzi – nikt nie zwracał się do niego w tej sprawie.Trudno mi coś więcej powiedzieć, bo ja tę sprawę poznałem dopiero z mediów. Na pewno służby powinny to wyjaśnić – podkreślił.Zapytany, czy państwo powinno mieć mechanizmy blokujące sprzedaż gruntów strategicznych przed rozstrzygnięciem planów inwestycyjnych, Telus odpowiada jednoznacznie:Oczywiście, że tak. Takie działki nie powinny być sprzedawane osobom prywatnym. KOWR powinien mieć prawo pierwokupu, a nawet zakaz sprzedaży takich terenów. To powinny być grunty chronione – mówił.Były minister dodał, że jeśli okaże się, iż decyzja została podjęta niezgodnie z procedurami lub pod wpływem lobbingu, osoby za to odpowiedzialne „powinny ponieść konsekwencje”.Jeżeli wychodzi taka sytuacja, że ktoś podjął decyzję, a nie daj Boże, że była lobbowana, to powinien ponieść odpowiedzialność. Tu nie powinno być dyskusji – dodał.Na końcu rozmowy Telus odniósł się także do informacji, że podczas kampanii wyborczej odwiedzał firmę biznesmena, który kupił sporną działkę.To polska firma przetwórcza. Trzeba wspierać polskie firmy, zwłaszcza w trudnym czasie. Byłem tam dwa razy – na otwarciu nowej linii przetwórczej pomidorów. Nie mam sobie nic do zarzucenia – dodał.Do sprawy odniósł się również Marcin Horała, były pełnomocnik rządu ds. CPK. W obszernym wpisie na platformie X wskazał, że spółka CPK działała prawidłowo, próbując zablokować sprzedaż działki, oraz że to nie PiS odpowiada za zaniedbania.„CPK za naszych rządów zachował się prawidłowo, składając odpowiednie wnioski, żeby zablokować sprzedaż działki. Faktycznie działka została sprzedana, choć nie powinna, i służby powinny sprawdzić, kto dokładnie za to odpowiada – na przykład za zatajenie przed ministrem istotnej okoliczności sprzeciwu CPK wobec sprzedaży.”Horała zwrócił uwagę, że obecny rząd nie podjął działań, by naprawić skutki decyzji:„Przy całym festiwalu ‘rozliczania PiS', ta akurat sprawa nie została przez obecny rząd w żaden sposób ruszona. Można było spokojnie zaradzić szkodzie – część pod linię kolejową wywłaszczyć, a centrum magazynowe przenieść na inny teren należący do CPK. Neo-CPK tego nie zrobiło od dwóch lat.”W swoim wpisie Horała dodał również, że „główny beneficjent w sprawie to sponsor Campus Polska, wspierający w ostatniej kampanii Rafała Trzaskowskiego”, sugerując polityczne tło transakcji.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail, PSAC, and the Ontario Real Estate Association.Greetings, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! A topic today we've been exploring from a few different angles these last few months: can Canada build (baby build) housing anymore?We convened a panel on it back in the early summer to talk policy and what's happening in the real world – Meredith, Moffat and Butler. We had the Conservative housing critic on the pod, Scott Aitchison, who gave us his take on what needs to be done.Today, we get the government's view of things with the Honourable Gregor Robertson, Canada's Minister of Housing and Infrastructure.Mr. Robertson has a long and impressive CV, so please pardon my drastic précis here: He served as the Mayor of Vancouver for a decade, 2008 to 2018, where his focus was on transit and cycling infrastructure ... introducing modular housing to support unhoused residents ... leading on co-ops and supportive housing ... and starting the country's first successful empty homes tax. Prior to that, he was a Member of the B.C. Legislature for 3 years, 2005-2008. As well as the Co-Founder and CEO of “Happy Planet” Organic Foods.So, we're going to talk about this new government agency “Build Canada Homes” and how it plans to “supercharge housing construction across Canada”. How will the programs work? What's the timeline for success in a crisis?  And we'll get Mr. Robertson's view on why he thinks government is the solution to this problem when most people think government IS the problem.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - As of September 30th, 2025, Raincoast Networks serves the 347 remaining customers in what was once the Twincomm service area on Cortes Island. Mascon by Telus acquired Twincomm in 2022. “I come from Savary Island. We provide internet to those who have decided to live off grid and in remote communities and cannot be served well by other telecom providers, majors and things from space, explained Oliver Linsley, owner of Raincoast Networks “We've been doing this for eight years and we service areas from Howe Sound all the way to Cortes. It has been a wonderful adventure, mainly because I get to meet some fantastic people in places I didn't even know existed. We've helped communities up and down the coast, and that's where we got our pride from. It's not from a paycheck (laughs), I can tell you that, but it definitely is from the fact that I can go to someone's house and they have baked cookies for me. They're just super happy that we came in a boat and we've driven across a whole bunch of crazy oceans and we're at their house and we're going to fix it.” Cortes Currents: How did you get into Cortes Island? Oliver Linsley: “Into Cortes was a interesting situation. I have been dealing with major telecom companies since we started. In the beginning, it was a very positive situation where they were very interested in working with people like me as last mile providers, so they did not have to extend their networks out at a cost they did not like. Telecom likes density because it maximizes their investment. So they partnered up with me and we began working at these remote places. As COVID hit, the demand skyrocketed and the government came around and gave them monies, and we began competing with Major Telecom (Mascon by Telus).” “Major Telecom decided that they had gotten too far. They had purchased Twincommm from Mark Torrance on Twin Islands. After two years of owning that, it had served its purpose to them, and they no longer wanted the asset and the customers here on Cortes. They approached me and asked me if I wanted to take over the network. Over the course of about a year and, for various me reasons me saying 'no I don't think so,' in the end, I decided that Cortes was a wonderfully remote community with demand that I wanted to be a part of. So after a long, long period of negotiations, we ended up picking up Cortes, about 350 customers on the island and we just acquiring it as of today, I believe.” Cortes Currents: What are you offering? Oliver Linsley: “We basically offer the same service that Twincommm did. We are very community based. We are looking to pick up a tech here on island. We like to keep customer service, which is something very rare in rural places, as fast as possible. So if your system goes awry one day, perhaps we can actually get to you in one day or the next day as opposed to some of the situations where you get with other providers where they just don't have a presence in the community. We really pride ourselves. in being there to keep people online, because most of the time it's quite an easy fix.” “So we are offering fixed to wireless services that most people are already hooked up to are already operating. They're operating the same way as TwinComm built them the same way as Mascon was running them. We are going to optimize the network. Essentially it's very similar to what Twincomm was, but we'll be upgrading. Pricing should be the same. The speed should be faster.”

Especially one who gave us such a fascinating hour the first time around.Just about 4 years ago, deep into COVID, the noted historian and author Margaret MacMillan joined me here. We talked about the pandemic, Trump in his first term, and the relevant historical lessons we could use to understand the context we were in at the time. Well now, here we are again.Trump 2.0. Emboldened in every way that could matter. And I use the term “emboldened” almost euphemistically. Everything we thought about the world order in the latter half of the 20th century and first 2 decades of the 21st ... seems to be dissolving in front of our eyes.THAT is the rather large discussion I want to have with Ms. MacMillan today. And who better?She is emeritus Professor of History at University of Toronto and emeritus Professor of International History at Oxford University.  Her publications have been translated into 26 languages, and she gave the CBC's Massey Lectures in 2015 and the BBC's Reith Lectures in 2018.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

Martin Bélanger, vice-président chez TELUS Santé, estime que l'intelligence artificielle est désormais au cœur de la transformation des soins de santé au Canada. L'IA permet d'automatiser certaines tâches cliniques et administratives, d'améliorer la prise de décision médicale et de proposer des soins plus proactifs grâce à l'analyse de données. TELUS Santé développe notamment des plateformes de navigation pour orienter les patients vers le bon professionnel, réduisant ainsi délais et frustrations. Des provinces comme la Nouvelle-Écosse et l'Alberta ont déjà adopté ces solutions. Bélanger insiste aussi sur l'importance de l'éthique et de la sécurité des données, essentielles à la confiance du public. Enfin, il anticipe que l'interopérabilité entre systèmes de santé, combinée à l'IA, permettra dans quelques années une vision complète et en temps réel du dossier médical des patients.

TELUS prépare le déploiement de la connectivité directe entre téléphones intelligents et satellites, appelée Direct-to-Device, afin de compléter son réseau terrestre qui couvre déjà 99 % de la population canadienne, mais seulement 15 % du territoire. Cette technologie permettra aux habitants des régions éloignées, aux voyageurs et aux travailleurs en zones non desservies d'accéder à des services de messagerie et, plus tard, à la voix et aux données. Selon Bernard Bureau, VP stratégie et services sans fil, il s'agit d'un prolongement naturel des réseaux existants, avec les mêmes exigences de cybersécurité. L'objectif est de maximiser l'accès pour l'ensemble des clients, sans laisser de groupes à l'écart. Merci à TELUS de soutenir la production de Mon Carnet cette semaine.

Dans cette entrevue, Nazim Benadid, chef des services technologiques chez TELUS, présente le nouveau câble de fibre optique sous-marin qui sera installé entre Sept-Îles à Sainte-Anne-des-Monts sur 124 kilomètres. Ce lien vise à offrir une redondance cruciale pour les communications de la Côte-Nord et de la Basse-Côte-Nord, particulièrement pour les services d'urgence. Ce nouveau câble, conçu pour résister au gel et aux marées, sera en grande partie enfoui pour minimiser les risques de bris. Et merci à TELUS d'appuyer la production de Mon Carnet cette semaine.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail, and Fidelity Investments Canada.Greetings you curious, you courageous, Herle Burly-ites. The guy driving the online initiative, Build Canada, is here... Daniel Debow.Build Canada bills itself as a community of entrepreneurs, leaders, and motivated citizens who are committed to driving Canada's growth. The hub of it all is a website that allows Canadian “builders” to take their ideas – bold, courageous, policy ideas, and publish them as specific, actionable memos that people can read and react to. That would include government and public policy people.I've talked about them on the pod before. About 5 months ago when I had on the pod journalist David Skok from The Logic.But now, the volunteer Chair, co-creator, and “chief cheerleader” (as he calls himself) of the whole thing. Daniel Debow has quite a CV: ridiculously successful entrepreneur, early investor in over 50 tech companies, board director, educator and mentor. We're going to find out more about his backstory, because I want to start the interview there. What he's learned in business and what lessons are applicable to making Canada better. What he's trying to achieve with Build Canada. How much, and in what ways, does he think Canada needs to change. And does he see a new government that can help us grow (and I'm quoting from the website now) ... “fast and fearlessly ... to become the most prosperous country in the world”?Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

His clients include Invisalign, Amazon, NFL, Telus, Western University of Health Sciences, and GHA Autism Supports among others.Today we get into how Karl convinced brands like Telus and Invisalign to buy documentary projects he was already making as passion projects and turn them into commercials and branded entertainment, how to make the most of a festival experience like Tribeca and how to pivot into a new type of work that's different from what you've already built a portfolio in.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Greetings, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! That guest is Mark Podlasly. Mark is a member of the Nlaka'pamux Nation in British Columbia and he's the CEO of First Nations Major Projects Coalition.The F-N-M-P-C is an Indigenous-led organization involved in major energy, infrastructure, and resource developments across Canada. Specifically, Mark drives engagement and advocacy for greater economic participation for member nations. And, he has over 25 years' experience leading the planning and execution of complex capital projects around the world.So, “Major Projects” ... “National Projects” ... “Nation Building” ... we hear all these terms coming from the Carney government.  But if it's truly a National Project, it has to be with Indigenous support and participation. Easy to say. Maybe a little more difficult to make a reality. That's what Mark and I are talking about today.How do those negotiations happen? What's the right amount of equity? What are the other factors that matter, besides equity? Are there past examples we can look to for guidance? And is the governance in place to get it all accomplished?Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Well greetings, you politically curious Herle Burly-ites! Fred DeLorey is here, making his 2nd appearance on the show, which means he's dangerously close to becoming an official “friend of the pod.” Fred is a long-time Conservative strategist and campaign director. He was the National Campaign Manager for Erin O'Toole in 2021. Before that he was Director of Field Operations for Ontario Premier Doug Ford. And he's a former Director of Political Operations for Stephen Harper. As well as Director of Comms and National Spokesperson. Today, he's Chair and Chief Strategy Officer at NorthStar Public Affairs. So, with that kind of CV, you'd expect we'd talk about the current state and prospects for the Conservative Party, which we will.But first, I want to take this conversation in another direction.  Fred's a longtime Party and campaign operative, as you've just heard. And we talk a lot on the pod about what makes a party succeed.  I want to dive into: What breaks a Party ... with specific reference to Canada's NDP.Given the dismal results of the last election is the NDP facing bankruptcy to the point their existence is threatened? What kind of resources does a party need these days for a fully funded modern campaign? How does the NDP come back from their debt, without having official Party status? Should they even try or just fold and let a new party emerge? And what does this mean for the CPC, who need a strong party on the Left?Full disclosure here: I'm banking on Fred being able to talk about the reality of the NDP's predicament in a way that most NDP folks can't, or won't, right now.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

Just two years ago, the launch of GPT-4 required the support of hundreds of experts, intensive computing power, and vast coordination. Today, that same process could be executed by a team of five. That is not an exaggeration. It is a signal of just how rapidly AI development is accelerating. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Gagan Tandon, Managing Director of AI & Data Services at TELUS Digital Solutions, to explore what is behind this extraordinary shift. From the evolution of AI chip design to the efficiency gains from smarter algorithms and open-source tools, Gagan offers a clear and grounded look at how AI training has become more accessible and less resource-intensive. But the bigger question is, what can we do with that efficiency? For Gagan, the answer lies in impact. Whether it is addressing bottlenecks in global supply chains, enhancing diagnostics in healthcare, or reducing fraud in financial services, these advances in AI development are not just theoretical. They are opening new doors for innovation across industries. We also explored how TELUS Digital Solutions supports enterprise transformation through its Fuel iX platform, which helps organisations transition from GenAI pilots to scalable, secure, ethical, and practical production systems. Gagan shared examples of how large-scale transformation can be approached with agility, especially when AI is aligned to specific business outcomes rather than simply layered on top of existing systems. This conversation goes far beyond model training. It is about what's next in AI operationalization, what business leaders should prioritize when it comes to adoption, and how to avoid common pitfalls as technology continues to evolve faster than many are prepared for. So how did we go from 300 engineers to five? What should enterprises be doing right now to take advantage of this momentum? And how can we make sure that efficiency does not come at the cost of responsibility? Join us as we explore the answers.
