In the latest episode of Tin Foil Hat with Sam Tripoli, special guest Joseph Phipps discusses the idea that reality is fundamentally tripartite, a three part structure he argues is obvious yet ignored by modern science. The conversation also explores the theory that the pyramids were built by Nephilim and that fallen angels came from Mars. Phipps further connects plasma cosmology and ancient myth, suggesting plasma may be sentient and that stars birth planets in a process mirrored in Gnostic stories of Sophia giving rise to the Demiurge.

Steve Sladkowski of PUP joins Blake for a conversation about the strange business of building a life out of noise. This one wanders into the good stuff. The human stuff. The part nobody puts on the laminate. Imposter syndrome. Burnout. Getting older. Learning that rest is not the same thing as quitting, even if your brain, like an underqualified middle manager, keeps sending panic memos in all caps. Steve talks about PUP's early days, growing up in Toronto, falling into music through school programs, and slowly realizing that the thing you love might become the thing that carries you, if you're willing to drag it uphill long enough. There's also the darker chapter. The moment when Stefan's voice gave out, a doctor delivered the kind of sentence that can rearrange your organs, and the band had to stare down the possibility that the whole machine might stop. What comes through here isn't just the crisis itself, but the way a band survives something like that: by choosing not to let fear, blame, or bad luck rot the foundation from underneath. And then, because no Tone Mob episode can go too long without somebody describing an amp like it's their best firend, the conversation rolls into guitars, pedals, and the slow, stubborn art of figuring out what actually works. Fender guitars. Vibroluxes. Dr. Zs. Roland Cubes. Road-tested pedalboard choices. The glorious stupidity of moving real air. Steve talks about finding gear that feels like home and hanging onto it, which is maybe not so different from finding people like that too. It's a conversation about surviving long enough to mean it. About staying curious. About making peace with the fact that even after years of doing the thing, some tiny part of you still expects a knock at the door from a guy holding a clipboard and bad news.

Canada’s residential mortgage market is a $32 billion annual asset class in Ontario alone. Plus, it’s structurally undersupplied. Unlike the US, Canada has no 30-year fixed mortgage. As a result, strict banking regulations push Canadian homeowners into the private lending market every few years. That forced refinancing cycle produces delinquency rates roughly one-eighth of what US private lenders see. On top of that, the recourse process in Canada runs just 60–90 days. Chris Lopez sits down with Hugh Tawney, founder of Leeward Capital Partners. Together, they walk through how Property Llama Capital gained access to this market and why they made it part of their Capital 3 fund. Hugh brings an institutional finance background in public equities, fixed income, life settlements, venture, and structured credit. Before founding Leeward, he spent years building fund vehicles across multiple asset classes. His CFO managed fund accounting for 38 entities at a Denver venture firm. His COO, meanwhile, helped build ArrowMark’s multifamily origination platform — a $5 billion book. Their Canadian operating partner, Aman Mann, ran a mortgage investment company from 2017 to 2023. In total, he originated approximately 500 loans with zero impairment of principal. The fund focuses on first and second lien residential mortgages — bridge loans, fix and flip, and short-term refinances. Currently, the portfolio sits at a 76.4% weighted average LTV with an 80% hard ceiling. Also worth noting: two-thirds to three-quarters of the loan book is owner-occupied. Homeowners, after all, default at a fraction of the rate that investment property owners do. For third-party validation, the fund works with Baker Tilly (tax and audit), NAV Consulting (fund administration), UMB (custody), and Stout (quarterly independent valuations). In This Episode We Cover: Why Canada’s lack of 30-year fixed mortgages creates a structural private lending opportunity every 3–5 years How Ontario’s power of sale process delivers 60–90 day recourse vs multi-year US foreclosure timelines The tax structure that classifies fund distributions as qualified dividends — potentially a 30–50% reduction in tax burden vs ordinary income How currency hedging via forwards contracts protects principal at a cost of 8–15 basis points The pending leverage strategy projected to take gross yields from 12% unlevered to 20% levered Why Leeward targets the lower end of the Canadian market — less competition, more inefficiency, higher yields The 15-month liquidity window and how it mirrors a short-term bond fund duration with a private credit return profile If you’re an accredited investor looking at private credit and want to understand an asset class that most US investors have never encountered — this is the episode to start with. Property Llama’s due diligence included a three-to-four day on-site asset tour in Toronto and a personal investment from Chris before the fund was opened to the broader investor community.

Episode 409: In June 2006, police carried out coordinated arrests across southern Ontario and charged 18 young men under Canada's anti-terrorism laws. The case quickly became known as the Toronto 18. It was described as a homegrown plot, not directed from overseas but organized in suburban communities around Mississauga and Toronto. Most of the accused were in their late teens or early twenties. Many were Canadian citizens or long-time residents. Their backgrounds varied, but research and court records show no pattern of hardened criminal histories or severe mental illness. What drew them together, investigators argued, was a shared sense of grievance over global conflicts and a growing embrace of militant ideology.

Meet the Fantastic—and Controversial—Dr. David Healy Psychiatric Drug Companies-- What Are They NOT Telling Us? Today, we are thrilled to interview the famed and courageous Dr. David Healy. I have admired his work for many years, but never imagined I'd have the chance to meet him and chat with him. First things first. You may know Dr. David Healy for some of his highly controversial books, like "The Antidepressant Era," "Let Them Eat Prozac," and "Pharmageddon." But who is he, really? According to AI, Dr. David Healy is a prominent Welsh psychiatrist, psychopharmacologist, and critic of the pharmaceutical industry known for his research on antidepressants, their links to suicide, and exposing industry practices like ghostwriting and disease-mongering, operating through initiatives like RxISK.org to promote drug safety. He has a long history of challenging Big Pharma, facing academic backlash (like losing a University of Toronto post) for his views, and serving as an expert witness in legal cases involving psychotropic drugs, advocating for greater transparency and patient safety. Healy initially worked with pharmaceutical companies, gaining firsthand knowledge of how SSRIs were marketed despite their trial weaknesses, focusing on the oversimplified serotonin hypothesis. He then became a vocal critic, highlighting issues like ghostwriting articles and manipulating academic opinion to sell drugs, leading to conflicts with industry-funded institutions. He founded RxISK.org, a platform for patients to report adverse drug reactions, aiming to make medicines safer. His strong stance (on research linking SSRI antidepressants to increased suicidal thoughts and urges) led to intense and corrosive controversy, including losing a professorship at the University of Toronto (though later settled as a visiting role) and harassment, noted here and here. In recent years, he has acted as an expert witness in cases involving drug-related suicides and homicides, bringing issues to regulators. In essence, Dr. David Healy is a significant, often controversial, figure dedicated to drug safety, academic integrity, and patient awareness in psychiatry, challenging established narratives and industry power. Taking a deeper dive, AI has added this critically important information: David Healy has discussed numerous examples of conflicts of interest that mainly involve the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on medical research, publication, and practice. Key examples he has highlighted include: Ghostwriting of Articles: Pharmaceutical companies hire medical communication firms to draft research articles or reviews, and then get prominent academics or clinicians to put their names on the papers as the sole or primary authors, a practice known as ghostwriting. The named authors often have little to no involvement in the actual research or writing. Hiding or Misrepresenting Data: Drug companies have concealed unfavorable data or miscoded raw data on drug risks, such as the link between antidepressants and suicidal acts. This manipulation can make a drug appear safer or more effective than it actually is. Biased Clinical Trial Design: Healy notes instances where clinical trials are designed with "tricks," such as using inadequate or excessive doses of comparison medications to make the company's own drug look superior. Marketing-Driven Education: A large portion of continuing medical education (CME) classes for doctors are sponsored by industry. Healy argues this leads to a bias in the information presented to doctors, with an emphasis on the benefits of brand-name drugs rather than an objective assessment of all treatment options. Gifts and Payments to Physicians: Drug companies spend billions annually on marketing directed at doctors, including free samples, sales visits, and small non-educational gifts or lunches. Healy points out that while many doctors believe these gifts don't affect their own prescribing, studies show they influence prescribing patterns and create subtle biases. Industry Influence on Academia: Healy's own experience with a job offer being rescinded at the University of Toronto, which had received a large donation from a drug company (Eli Lilly), is a prominent case he uses to illustrate how industry funding can infringe upon academic freedom and stifle critical research. "Disease Mongering": Healy argues that the pharmaceutical industry often engages in "disease mongering," marketing conditions to the public and physicians to create a market for their products rather than simply addressing genuine medical needs. So that hopefully gives you some idea of the scope of his work, and his vision of transparency and integrity in the reporting one the effectiveness and risks of psychotropic medications. In our conversation today, he emphasized the importance of listening to patients who describe side effects of medications, such as SSRIs, in described the efforts of Big Pharma to suppress such complaints, giving psychiatrists "talking points" to reassure and quiet concerned patients. In general, a main focus of his career has been to challenge and confront the efforts of drug companies to suppress negative information about their products and troublesome and dangerous side effects. He said that one of the rationales the drug companies use is to say that disseminating that type of information will discourage many potential patients from using their products, and therefore miss out on the potential benefits of the medications. In fact, they have a name for this, "treatment hesitancy," and discourage open discussion of negative effects for this reason. I asked Dr. Healy if he's experienced direct negative pushback from drug companies, and he gave a surprising answer—he said no, that the major pushback he's gotten has actually been from colleagues—psychiatrists who have bought the party line disseminated by the drug manufactures. For example, when he gave his famous talk at the University of Toronto on the increase in suicidal urges associated with SSRI antidepressants, a famous psychopharmacologist, Dr. Charlie Nemeroff, got him fired. Here's the story on Dr. Nemeroff, According to AI: In the late 2000s, Nemeroff faced investigations and sanctions from Emory University for failing to disclose significant speaking and consulting fees from pharmaceutical companies like GlaxoSmithKline, raising questions about research integrity and conflicts of interest, notes The BMJ and The New York Times. Although the antidepressant effects of SSRIs are controversial and hotly debated, their effects on the nervous system are not. Dr. Healy's research indicates that they have a suppression effect on the nervous system, which dulls the senses, and this can happen within 1 to 2 days. One of the more troublesome of these effects is called "genital numbing," which affects 9 out of 10 people talking SSRIs. This can result in difficulties with sexual arousal and greatly delayed orgasm, and apparently these effects can persist long after drug discontinuation. He said that these sensory effects can develop quickly, within a day or two of starting the medications. Even more chilling, he said that the problem can actually get worse when you discontinue the medication, and can sometimes persist for life. In addition, quite a few individuals have "bad trips" on SSRIs, although a minority clearly have "good trips." He said the best thing to do for a bad trip is to take the patient off of the medication immediately—and NOT increase the dose. He confirmed my impression that a common error with all antidepressants is to increase the dose—which simply increases the side effects. In addition to the genital numbing described above, he said the SSRIs cause "emotional numbing," which means a decreased capacity for joy as well as sorrow. One of the main activities in David Healy's life has been listening to patients, rather than discounting their complaints when they describe negative effects of medications. When asked about what alternatives to drugs he might recommend to someone struggling with depression, he said that sometimes, just doing nothing will be helpful, since most mood problems clear up spontaneously in 12 to 14 weeks. He said that most are simply human problems, not "mental disorders," but real-life problems, like relationship conflicts or social issues. Although we did not discuss it extensively on the show, I would point out that skillful, drug-free therapy with TEAM CBT can sometimes help as well, and that recent research has confirmed rapid often dramatic mood improvements with individuals using the Feeling Great app, which has been entirely free to anyone since the summer of 2025. Finally, we do not advise anyone to discontinue or modify the dosages of any medications you have been prescribed without consultation with your doctor. The information in the Feeling Good podcast is of a strictly educational nature, and is not intended as treatment or medical advice. We thank you for listening to today's shocking but incredibly important dialogue with one of the pioneers and champions of greater ethical integrity and transparency in the psychiatric profession. It is sad, indeed, that we don't have more visionary critical thinkers like Dr. David Healy! David (H), Rhonda, and David (B)

In recent surveys, one in four Canadians say they have no religion. A century ago, Canada was widely considered to be a Christian nation, and the vast majority of Canadians claimed they were devoutly religious. But some were determined to resist. In the 1920s and '30s, groups of militant unbelievers formed across Canada to push back against the dominance of religion. Towards a Godless Dominion: Unbelief in Interwar Canada by Dr. Elliot B. Hanowski (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2023), explores both anti-religious activism and the organized opposition unbelievers faced from Christian Canada during the interwar period. Despite Christianity's prominence, anti-religious ideas were propagated by lectures in theatres, through newspapers, and out on the streets. Secularist groups in Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, and Vancouver actively tried to win people away from religious belief. Looking at interwar controversies around religion, Hanowski shows how unbelievers were able to use these conflicts to get their skeptical message across to the public. Challenging the stereotype of Canada as a tolerant, secular nation, Towards a Godless Dominion returns to a time when intolerant forms of Christianity ruled a country that was considered more religious than the United States. Dr. Elliot Hanowski is an academic librarian at the University of Manitoba with a doctorate in Canadian history and one of the founders of the International Society for Historians of Atheism, Secularism, and Humanism. His research focuses specifically on the history of unbelief in Canada. Learn more about your ad choices.

Le Mobile World Congress 2026 a fait la part belle à l'intelligence artificielle, aux smartphones réinventés et à la connectivité satellitaire. Apple lance un Mac “abordable”.Avec Bruno Guglielminetti (Mon Carnet)Barcelone confirme le virage du mobile vers l'IA et le satelliteLe Mobile World Congress de Barcelone était moins centré sur les smartphones, cette année, mais plus stratégique que jamais pour les opérateurs, les équipementiers et les futures infrastructures. L'intelligence artificielle s'impose partout, jusqu'aux réflexions sur la 6G et sur l'“edge intelligence”, avec l'idée d'une IA plus proche des terminaux et moins dépendante du cloud. Autre signal fort : la connectivité satellitaire sort du registre de l'urgence pour entrer dans celui des usages quotidiens. À écouter aussi : Le récap du MWC 2026.Des gadgets utiles… ou pasParmi les démonstrations les plus commentées, on retiendra le “robophone” de HONOR, doté d'un module photo motorisé façon mini-gimbal. Au-delà de l'effet waouh, peut-être une tentative crédible de faire évoluer la capture vidéo sur smartphone, même si les usages du suivi automatisé et de la captation permanente soulèvent déjà des questions très concrètes de vie privée.On a pu découvrir aussi le filtre Privacy Display de Samsung, pensé pour masquer l'écran aux regards latéraux, ainsi que sur les avancées de Huawei dans les objets connectés et les terminaux pliants. Même constat pour les lunettes de RayNeo et d'Alibaba : la traduction en temps réel progresse, mais la promesse d'assistance continue s'accompagne d'un vrai débat sur la captation d'images et le traitement des données personnelles.Apple tente d'élargir sa base avec le MacBook NeoL'autre grand sujet du débrief concerne la salve de nouveautés Apple. Bruno et Jérôme s'arrêtent surtout sur le MacBook Neo, présenté comme une porte d'entrée plus accessible dans l'univers Mac, avec un prix annoncé autour de 700 euros et un positionnement assumé vers les étudiants et les utilisateurs au budget plus serré.Le débat est double : pour Bruno, ce nouvel ordinateur peut enfin faire tomber une partie de la barrière tarifaire qui freinait l'adoption du Mac ; pour Jérôme, il révèle aussi les limites de l'iPad comme remplaçant du PC, tout en illustrant la nécessité pour Apple de relancer une catégorie qui pèse moins que l'iPhone et les services dans son écosystème. À écouter aussi sur Monde Numérique : Apple dévoile plusieurs nouveautés : MacBook Neo, iPhone 17e, iPad Air M4.Dans Mon Carnet : podcasting au Québec, Pokémon et fraude chez les jeunesBruno profite aussi de l'échange pour teaser le sommaire de Mon Carnet. Au programme : un retour sur la grande rencontre du podcast à Toronto, un détour par les 30 ans de Pokémon et un sujet sur la fraude en ligne qui touche aussi les plus jeunes, preuve que la culture numérique, les usages médiatiques et les risques du web restent plus entremêlés que jamais.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

In recent surveys, one in four Canadians say they have no religion. A century ago, Canada was widely considered to be a Christian nation, and the vast majority of Canadians claimed they were devoutly religious. But some were determined to resist. In the 1920s and '30s, groups of militant unbelievers formed across Canada to push back against the dominance of religion. Towards a Godless Dominion: Unbelief in Interwar Canada by Dr. Elliot B. Hanowski (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2023), explores both anti-religious activism and the organized opposition unbelievers faced from Christian Canada during the interwar period. Despite Christianity's prominence, anti-religious ideas were propagated by lectures in theatres, through newspapers, and out on the streets. Secularist groups in Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, and Vancouver actively tried to win people away from religious belief. Looking at interwar controversies around religion, Hanowski shows how unbelievers were able to use these conflicts to get their skeptical message across to the public. Challenging the stereotype of Canada as a tolerant, secular nation, Towards a Godless Dominion returns to a time when intolerant forms of Christianity ruled a country that was considered more religious than the United States. Dr. Elliot Hanowski is an academic librarian at the University of Manitoba with a doctorate in Canadian history and one of the founders of the International Society for Historians of Atheism, Secularism, and Humanism. His research focuses specifically on the history of unbelief in Canada. Learn more about your ad choices.

[NOTE: Due to a technical glitch some listeners may have received an incorrect audio file last night. The problem is now corrected. Thank you for your patience and understanding] Gunfire struck three Toronto-area synagogues in less than a week, prompting police to promise a “relentless” investigation into what leaders say are antisemitic attacks. In this episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, host Ellin Bessner reports from outside Beth Avraham Yoseph synagogue in Thornhill and also listened in outside the Shaarei Shomayim congregation in North York Sunday as police, politicians and Jewish leaders gathered for a show of solidarity. Bullet holes were discovered this weekend at Beth Avraham Yoseph congregation in Thornhill and Shaarei Shomayim synagogue in North York. Temple Emanu-El had been targeted earlier in the week. A Jewish-owned restaurant and a Jewish school were also struck the same day. The attacks have stunned Toronto's Jewish community and sparked calls for stronger action from governments and police before someone is seriously hurt or killed.

How could Canada—and Ontario in particular—have done rail transit better? Navigating Major Programmes never shies away from the controversial takes. In this episode, Riccardo takes to the mic with multi-disciplinary rail strategist and longtime industry builder Michael Schabas. Their candid, deeply informed conversation delves deep into what has gone awry in Canadian transit planning and what it would take to get it right.Michael traces his path from a childhood fascination with trains to a career spanning architecture, transport planning, railway operations, and major infrastructure consulting. Along the way, he helped build and lead rail businesses in the UK and Australia, consistently proving that well-run passenger rail can be both high-performing and financially viable. That global experience shapes his perspective on Ontario's railway decisions. He argues that too many projects have suffered from poor technology choices, weak route selection, and procurement strategies that don't match the true complexity of this infrastructure solution.Throughout his conversation with Riccardo, Michael also reflects on what Canadian builders have learned, the reality of Toronto's ongoing and overdue electrification project, and why high-speed rail is the answer the country too often avoids. This wide-ranging look at rail infrastructure questions long-held assumptions and challenges decision-makers to never stop learning when it comes to public transportation projects.Key TakeawaysRecovering from the rushed and ill-informed decision-making that lead to costly transit mistakes;The potential for well-run passenger rail to grow ridership and improve financial performance;How technology, route, and operating strategy choices shape transit outcomes;Why past LRT decisions failed to deliver the speed and rider benefits promised;How greenfield thinking and the right corridor strategy could change the future of high-speed rail in Canada.Quote:“If you've seen one railway, you've seen one railway.

Strangely, Friends: A History of Cuban-Canadian Encounters (Between the Lines, 2025) delves into the rich, often overlooked history of personal and cultural connections between Cubans and Canadians. From the early days of the Cuban Revolution to the present, this book uncovers the stories of Canadians who were drawn to Cuba--teachers, artists, development aid workers, filmmakers, and activists--who left an indelible mark on the island, and Cubans, especially the musicians, who found a home in Canada. Through intimate portraits and serendipitous encounters, Karen Dubinsky explores how these relationships transcended political ideologies and state policies, revealing a shared humanity that defies borders. From the classrooms of Havana to the jazz clubs of Toronto, this book captures the enduring bonds forged through music, education, and mutual curiosity, offering a fresh perspective on the power of people-to-people connections. Karen Dubinsky is Professor of History at Queens University in Canada. Katie Coldiron is Latin American & Caribbean Studies Librarian at Florida International University.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with K.R. Wilson about his novel, Stan on Guard (Guernica Editions, 2026). Ishtanu (call him Stan) is a Hittite immortal keeping his head down in Toronto and recounting some of his experiences. Tróán is an immortal Trojan princess who thought she'd killed Stan in post-war Berlin but who now knows he survived. Yes, technically Stan can die. He has just managed not to for 3200 years. As their stories braid together toward a final reckoning they take us through, among other things, a subversive retelling of the Odysseus story, the resistance of pagan Lithuania against Papal crusaders, the decline of Friedrich Nietzsche in a German clinic, the arts scene in belle epoque Paris, and the descent of Europe into the horrors of the Great War. Strap in. Stan On Guard is the follow-up to K. R. Wilson's tragical-comical-historical novel Call Me Stan: A Tragedy in Three Millennia, which was long-listed for the 2022 Leacock Medal for Humour. K. R. Wilson's novel An Idea About My Dead Uncle won the inaugural Guernica Prize in 2018, and his novel Call Me Stan was long-listed for the 2022 Leacock Medal.

Maple Leafs General Manager Brad Treliving joins the show to recap his team's trade deadline, the club's approach in keeping Oliver Ekman-Larsson on their roster, and his assessment of Craig Berube and Auston Matthews this season.
A relatively quiet trade deadline was highlighted by the surprising move of longtime Capital John Carlson to Anaheim, where the Ducks leaned further into building an offensive identity. Calgary GM Craig Conroy provided late day drama by sending Nazem Kadri back to Colorado as he chases another Stanley Cup. The Flames also moved Mackenzie Weegar earlier in the week and now sit on a large stockpile of draft picks as they rebuild with a new arena waiting in the wings. Several notable names stayed put, including Robert Thomas in St. Louis and Colton Parayko who declined a trade to Buffalo. Nashville’s Ryan O’Reilly and Steven Stamkos, and goalies Sergei Bobrovsky and Jordan Binnington also stayed with their current teams despite the rumour mill. Toronto sold off pieces like Bobby McMann, Scott Laughton, and Nic Roy while keeping Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Montreal held firm despite exploring a bigger hockey deal as their young playoff window opens. Edmonton added Connor Murphy and Jason Dickinson earlier in the week, but with Colorado loading up and Dallas and Minnesota looming, whoever survives the Pacific could still face a Western Conference buzzsaw.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A three-panel panel of Jason Davis, Thomas Pinzone, and Jonathan Tannenwald hits The Best Soccer Show this week. The trio talk about MLS Week 2, with special focus on a few teams. Inter Miami's big win over Orlando leads to some talk about Messi and Miami as the bad guys, and the discussion also hits on the Galaxy, Red Bulls, and more. Plus, a look at Josh Sargent's arrival in Toronto and whether he can help life the Reds back into MLS elite. Thomas gives us local view on the World Cup funding issue in Foxboro and we dive into the funding issues that threaten World Cup games in Massachusetts. From there the boys launch into USMNT talk. Goalkeepers and midfielders are the the focus with Mauricio Pochettino set to call up a squad for March friendlies. If you miss Jared, he's on this week's Besties Bonus.
