Seg 1: We finally know why orcas are sinking ships In 2020, sailors near the Iberian peninsula reported orcas engaging with boats in alarming ways, such as ramming and disabling vessels. Over 670 interactions were documented, involving about 15 orcas, leading to severe damage in about a fifth of the cases and the sinking of six boats. Experts concluded these were not attacks but possibly playful behaviours or a cultural fad among the orcas. These findings highlight the complexities of studying orca behaviour, as their large, highly developed brains and social structures make them capable of such activities.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail. Alright, you fearless Herle Burly-ites. We have a wonderful show that leans to the left, today. And before anyone says, “David, you're a dreaded socialist” … I mean we're spending the hour talking about the left coast of Canada. The super … natural … province of B.C. Beautiful British Columbia politics that is! With me are 2 of the best political thinkers, and doers, when it comes to that province: Geoff Meggs and Mike McDonald. Geoff is making his first appearance here on The Herle Burly. Until recently, he served as Chief of Staff to former Premier John Horgan. Prior to that, he was a long-time Vancouver City Councillor, and Strategic Communications specialist.Mike is making his 3rd appearance on the pod. He's been a campaign manager and Chief of Staff to Premier Christy Clark. Currently, he's Partner and Chief Strategy Officer at Kirk&Co., a senior research associate at Pollara, and you can read about what's on Mike's political mind at Rosedeer.blogToday, we'll be discussing the new Eby government. What is it about and how is it performing? Will it hold the Horgan coalition or reshape a new one? What are the issues that might give it trouble and what will its relations with Trudeau be like? Then … B.C. United. What's the impact from the name change … now and down the road? Is their leader, Kevin Falcon, catching on? What are his strengths and weaknesses? Climate change, housing, reconciliation … we'll touch on all of it in the next hour!Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.
