Episode 377: Joyce Carolyn Stevens, the daughter of a preacher from Houston, Texas, and Rose Marie Turford, a Canadian nurse and suburban mother, became infamous as the real-life “Thelma and Louise.” Their cross-border crime spree in the mid-1990s stunned communities from Houston to Toronto, as they lured, robbed, and humiliated unsuspecting men, all while eluding law enforcement. The case, with its bizarre twists, elaborate disguises, and a mysterious figure named “Avery,” captivated the public and left a trail of questions about motive, manipulation, and the dark side of friendship.

IntroWhat happens when you bond so hard with The Hip that they feel like your chosen family? This week, I'm joined by John Paul from Toronto—a lifelong fan who's seen it all, from camping trips at Guelph Lake to getting kicked out of the Phoenix. We dig deep into Song 12 on the countdown and talk about the powerful, personal connections that make this band more than just music.Episode SummaryWe cover the full arc of John Paul's fandom—from hearing those first singles on Toronto radio to buying Day for Nighton CD, obsessing over Phantom Power, and falling in love with the band's live energy. We also swap stories about unforgettable Hip shows, camping mischief, and the heartbreak of being booted out before the third song.About the GuestJohn Paul is the quintessential Toronto Hip fan: thoughtful, passionate, and a little self-deprecating. He first fell for the band thanks to classic singles and videos on MuchMusic (shout out to Gord in the Bruins sweater), and over time found himself pulled in deeper with every album.He's been to half a dozen Hip gigs (plus a solo Gord show), but his fandom is built just as much on introspection—how the band offered him a sense of family, safety, and permission to see the world through Gord's strange and beautiful eyes.Why It MattersThis episode isn't just about Song 12. It's about how The Tragically Hip can be an anchor in your life. How they can make you feel at home, even when you're homesick in Korea. How they become a mirror for your values, your memories, and your sense of who you want to be in the world.It's also about the messy side of fandom: the near-religious devotion, the gigs that changed you, the ones you missed, the ones you got kicked out of while pleading your case like a lawyer on fire.If you've ever felt like The Hip knew you before you even knew yourself, this one's going to hit close to home.ClosingHuge thanks to John Paul from Toronto for bringing so much honesty, humour, and raw fandom to this week's episode.If this week's track sparks a memory for you, share it with us! Drop a voice memo, send an email, or jump into the Facebook group and start a debate about your Top 10.We'll be back next Monday with Song 11 on the countdown.

Send us a textIron deficiency affects as many as 40% of women of reproductive age, yet the problem often goes undetected—even when patients have symptoms and complications. On this episode, Dr. Blair Bigham and Dr. Mojola Omole speak with hematologists Dr. Michelle Scholzberg and Dr. Rita Selby about their structural solution to this pervasive problem: a province-wide change to how laboratories flag ferritin results. Their article, “Diagnosis and management of iron deficiency in females”, is published in CMAJ.Dr. Michelle Scholzberg, a hematologist and clinician scientist at St. Michael's Hospital and division director of Hematology at the University of Toronto, explains why iron deficiency without anemia is clinically important, how flawed reference standards and stigma around menstruation have contributed to underdiagnosis, why screening based on hemoglobin alone misses many patients and how structural barriers within medicine have long impeded timely detection and treatment. She outlines the evidence that drove a change to the clinical decision threshold for ferritin in Ontario laboratories and describes the movement that led to the changeDr. Rita Selby, an academic hematologist and medical director of the Ontario Laboratory Medicine Program at Ontario Health, describes how change was implemented across Ontario's major private labs. She clarifies the distinction between reference ranges and clinical decision limits, and how the shift helps clinicians identify subclinical iron deficiency earlier. She also discusses anticipated challenges, such as increased demand for treatment and the need for accessible knowledge translation tools.This episode exemplifies how making structural change in Canadian medicine can be difficult, but is possible with grassroots advocacy and inter-institutional collaboration.For more information from our sponsor, go to MedicusPensionPlan.comJoin us as we explore medical solutions that address the urgent need to change healthcare.

Take a minute to get the scoop!Fun FactPetrucci's music prints were so beautifully done that people treated them like prized books. His triple-impression method printed staves, then notes, then text—a slow process, but incredibly precise. Later printers opted for faster techniques, but Petrucci's editions set a gold standard for music printing that lasted well into the 16th century.About Steven, HostSteven is a Canadian composer & actor living in Toronto.

The Argonauts bounced back in a big way, taking down the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 31–17 at BMO Field in a dominant three-phase performance. Ben Grant and JB break down every angle of the Argos' most complete game of the season, featuring seven forced turnovers, explosive offensive plays, and a statement performance from the special teams unit, including a huge play from Kevin Mital to stop a fake punt. Toronto's defence held the Bombers to just 10 points while consistently flipping the field with takeaways.

Feeling like you're working harder and getting less? You're not alone — and the numbers prove it.This week's episode of The Vancouver Life Real Estate Podcast takes a hard look at how Canada's exploding tax burden, runaway deficits, and fleeing capital are colliding with the nation's housing market. We connect the dots between Ottawa's unchecked spending, falling investor confidence, and a real estate sector stuck in a high-stakes slowdown.Let's start with the core issue: Taxes. The average Canadian household earning $114,000 now pays over $48,000 in taxes — that's 42% of gross income, up 181% since 1961 after inflation. And yet, despite this massive government take, Canada is operating without a federal budget, projecting a $92 billion deficit — possibly rising to $147 billion — one of the largest in Canadian history outside of COVID spending.The result? Investors are running. A staggering $83.8 billion in capital has fled Canada since February, 90% of it heading to the U.S. It's the largest recorded outflow in recent memory and a clear vote of no confidence in Canada's fiscal policies. Canadians themselves are turning to U.S. markets, pouring $14.2 billion into U.S. stocks in May alone, more than 4x last year's volume.Real estate is taking a direct hit. In Toronto, the new condo market is oversaturated. Urbanation forecasts over 31,000 completions in 2025 — 74% higher than the long-term average. With 64,000+ units under construction, we're building faster than we're buying. The result? Rising inventory, few new launches, and a ticking time bomb for pricing — especially if rates remain elevated.In Vancouver, the BC government has stepped in with “relief” for developers by backstopping $250 million in DCC feesto keep projects alive. But make no mistake — this isn't a discount. It's a taxpayer-funded subsidy. You are footing the bill, even as housing remains out of reach for many.Rents are shifting, too. Vancouver's 1-bedroom unfurnished rents rose $9 to $2,232/month, though still lower than last year. West Van remains highest at $2,617. But in Burnaby, rents are falling fast, down 7.6% year-over-year, with some neighbourhoods like Central Burnaby dropping over 16%.Why hasn't the market crashed yet? Equity. The average Canadian homeowner has 74% equity in their home — that's $511K on a $691K home. In Vancouver, the average homeowner sits on $868K in equity. That's why we're not seeing widespread foreclosures or a true collapse. Homeowners still have leverage — for now. Mortgage dynamics are changing. Since 2022, mortgage debt is increasing for Canadians 55+ while decreasing among those under 35. Why? Older Canadians are taking on debt to help their children — or to cover rising living costs. The “Bank of Mom & Dad” is becoming the central lender of last resort.Real estate sentiment is weak. After a short-lived spring rebound, confidence is flatlining, echoing what we're seeing in sales volumes. Buyers are hesitant, sellers are holding back, and uncertainty is the only constant.Where are rates headed? With inflation lingering and capital fleeing, don't expect the Bank of Canada to cut anytime soon. Fixed mortgage rates remain in the mid 4% range, while the U.S. holds firm at nearly 7%. The result? A stagnant, supply-heavy, high-cost housing market — with no easy way out. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:
Send us a textWelcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 232. This week's podcast is a departure from the format of the last 40 podcasts. Today I am doing a comparison between three major US airlines : American Airlines Group Inc (AAL), United Airlines Holdings Inc (UAL) and Delta Air Lines Inc (DAL). There are many large publicly traded companies on stock markets from which we buy merchandise and services . At times you can be puzzled by their policies and behavior. By analyzing their public stock market information, that is freely and immediately available, you can gain surprising insights into their policies and behavior.If you analyze these three airlines, as if you were buying shares in them, you can quickly understand how their financial strength could negatively impact their customers. This knowledge can help guide you in your buying decisions.The objective of my podcasts and my six investment books is to show investors that they can easily become successful self-directed investors. Not only can they realize a safe dividend income of 6 to 8 percent but show substantial gains in the value of their portfolios. Through self-directed investing, thousands of dollars in investment fees, commissions and charges can also be saved . A great sense of security is realized from knowing exactly what you are invested in and why you chose to invest in that safe strong stock.For more information on self-directed investing go to my website www.informus.ca and listening to the previous 231 weekly podcasts. The first 160 podcasts are devoted to answering questions from investors just like you.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. The discussion hosted by Manaf Manji with Griffin Warner covers MLB trades, team trajectories, and Friday betting previews. It begins with anticipation for an active trade deadline as the Arizona Diamondbacks officially begin a fire sale after being swept by Houston, trading Josh Naylor to Seattle and reportedly shopping Eugenio Suarez. Griffin notes the Yankees and Cubs as possible suitors while mocking the Yankees' defensive issues despite Aaron Boone's optimism. The first breakdown focuses on the Brewers hosting Miami with Freddie Peralta (12–4, 2.85 ERA) against Cal Quantrill. Milwaukee, 22–6 in their last 28, are heavy favorites at -220. Manji highlights Peralta's home dominance (7–0, 1.53 ERA), backing Brewers -1.5. The Diamondbacks vs Pirates matchup features Ryne Nelson (5.79 road ERA) against Mike Burrows. Warner criticizes Arizona's bullpen anchored by closer Kevin Ginkel (7.89 ERA) and prefers the Pirates as slight home underdogs. The Phillies visit the Yankees with Taijuan Walker and Will Warren on the mound. Both expect a high-scoring affair in homer-friendly Yankee Stadium, with Manji giving his best bet on over 10 runs. In Baltimore, Kyle Freeland (2–10, 5.19 ERA) faces Dean Kremer, who has a 2.00 ERA at home. Manji leans Rockies +1.5 for value. The Dodgers visit Boston with Emmet Sheehan against Brayan Bello. Warner views the Dodgers as overpriced and takes the Red Sox at +106. Tampa Bay's Zach Littell faces Cincinnati's Nick Martinez; Warner favors the Reds as home dogs, while Manji prefers the Rays' team total over. The Blue Jays visit the reeling Tigers, who are 1–10 in their last 11 and last in MLB in runs, ERA, and WHIP over that stretch. Both back Toronto behind José Berríos against Keider Montero. In Chicago, Shota Imanaga meets Adrian Houser. Manji notes the White Sox are 5–2 straight up at home and leans their run line or first five innings while targeting under 8.5. The Braves take on the Rangers with Joey Wentz against Nathan Eovaldi, and Warner leans Braves moneyline against an expensive favorite, though Manji supports Texas early behind Eovaldi. Cleveland's Gavin Williams faces Michael Wacha in Kansas City; Warner points out KC has lost five straight Wacha starts due to poor run support, siding with the Guardians. The Nationals visit the Twins, with Mackenzie Gore versus prospect Zebby Matthews. Warner calls Gore overworked and makes Minnesota -131 his best bet, joined by Manji. Seattle's consistent Brian Wu visits the Angels' Jose Soriano, who has a 5.65 ERA at home. Manji recommends Seattle's team total over. The Mets travel to San Francisco, with Clay Holmes set to be piggybacked by relievers against Logan Webb. Warner backs the Giants at -132, while Manji prefers the under 7.5 or first five under. The show closes with best bets: Griffin takes the Twins -131, while Manji selects Phillies-Yankees over 10. They also tease expanded coverage next week with three episodes leading up to the trade deadline. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery chats with the wonderful Saad Omar Khan about his debut novel, Drinking the Ocean (Wolsak & Wynn, 2025). The day after his thirty-third birthday, Murad spots a familiar face at a crowded intersection in downtown Toronto. Shocked, he stands silently as Sofi, a woman he'd fallen in love with almost a decade ago, walks by holding the hand of a small child. Murad turns and descends the subway steps to return home to his wife as the past washes over him and he is taken back to the first time they met. Moving between Lahore, London and Toronto, Drinking the Ocean is a story of connections lost and found and of the many kinds of love that shape a life, whether familial, romantic or spiritual. As Murad's and Sofi's lives touch and separate, we see them encounter challenges with relationships, family and God, and struggle with the complexities facing Muslims in the West. With compassion and elegance, Saad Omar Khan delicately illuminates the arcs of these two haunted lives, moved by fate and by love, as they absorb the impact of their personal spiritual journeys Saad Omar Khan was born in the United Arab Emirates to Pakistani parents and lived in the Philippines, Hong Kong and South Korea before immigrating to Canada. He is a graduate of the University of Toronto and the London School of Economics and has completed a certificate in Creative Writing from the School of Continuing Studies (University of Toronto) where he was a finalist for the Random House Creative Writing Award (2010 and 2011) and for the Marina Nemat Award (2012). In 2019, he was longlisted for the Guernica Prize for Literary Fiction. His short fiction has appeared in Best Canadian Stories 2025 and other publications. Learn more about your ad choices.
