In this podcast episode, Simon Nantais talks to Asa McKercher and Michael D. Stevenson about their co-edited book North of America: Canadians and the American Century, 1945-60, which will be published by UBC Press in October 2023. North of America: Canadians and the American Century, 1945-60, is an edited volume that looks at postwar Canada and Canadian-American relations of the 1940s and 1950s. From constitutional reform to transit policy, from national security to the arrival of television, Canadians were ever mindful of the American experience. The volume explores the opinions and perceptions of a broad range of Canadians – from consumers to diplomats, jazz musicians to urban planners, and a diverse cross-section in between. Asa McKercher and Michael D. Stevenson discuss the topics covered in the volume such as international relations in a nuclear armed early Cold War era, domestic politics, and national identity. Asa McKercher is an assistant professor of history at the Royal Military College of Canada. His publications include Canada and the World Since 1867 and Canada and Camelot: Canadian-American Relations in the Kennedy Era. Michael D. Stevenson is a professor of history at Lakehead University. He is the author of Canada's Greatest Wartime Muddle: National Selective Service and the Mobilization of Human Resources in Canada during World War II and editor of the 1957–58 volumes of Documents on Canadian External Relations.

Rom 5:12-14

For small-scale farmers in underdeveloped countries around the world, who often have no access to capital or most of the technologies and amenities we take for granted, the idea of being more sustainable isn't something to strive for but a true necessity. Located in North Fort Myers on a 57-acre campus, the nonprofit ECHO has been working to disseminate information to help these farmers since 1981. They grow different varieties of plants, and test different growing techniques, in order to provide proven techniques and even seeds to small-scale farmers. They distribute more than 300 varieties of ECHO seeds. This information is sent out through their massive, global network of farmers and agriculturalists in more than 190 countries. We get an update on the work they do with their CEO, Dr. Abram Bicksler.

In late August 2019 Bob Chapek, then responsible for Disney Parks & Attractions, stood up in D23 and announced an enormous slate of new attractions coming not only across the globe, but specifically Walt Disney World. At the time our post showcased some 75 new attractions, restaurants, shops, entertainment, hotels and more. We'll go back in time to see what has happened, and what is still yet to happen. The list of previously announced additions not completed is noticeable. But so is the list of what's been completed! You'll be surprised as we go through the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom and throughout the entire Walt Disney World Resort.

Karl Bushby is a former paratrooper, author, and current legend of exploration. In 1998, he left his home in the UK to begin the epic Goliath Expedition. Originally a 12 year plan to walk around the world, 23 years and plenty of close encounters with death later, he's still going, and is nearing the home straight. The Goliath Expedition has two rules: 1. He can only travel on foot, no transport. 2. He won't return home to the UK, until he arrives there on foot, as planned. During his already 30,000+ mile stroll, he's crossed the Bering Strait on foot, and the Darien Gap, two amazing yet deadly experiences that we discuss in detail.

Practically the whole world has gotten obese since 1975 by a factor of 300-400-, and COVID would have been far less of a problem in 1975. Why does God ordain for COVID-19 to come now, when 75-80- of the serious cases are weight issues.--Eliminating this factor, COVID death rates are about the same as the flu for the 65- crowd, and COVID is far less lethal for the under 40-crowd.-The Stage 2 Obese group is hospitalized at a rate of 42 per 10,000, the Stage 1 Obese group at 23 per 10,000, the Overweight group at 18 per 10,000, and the normal weighted group at only 13 per 10,000. That's a sample size of 340,000 taken in the UK.-We discuss the problem and sins attendant to obesity on this edition of the program.---This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Former N. Korean Christian prisoner- -My bones were showing.-- Supremes allow New York COVID-shot mandate to stand- Spacecraft touched the sun---2.

First off, I want to say thank you to everyone who has been a guest on the podcast and to everyone who listens or reads the show notes. I am shocked that we have 150 episodes. I started this podcast because I felt like I didn't have a voice as a designer and wanted to share other's stories and experiences, no matter their expertise. And we do just that! But I wouldn't be here without you, so thank you.    For this episode I decided to bring in my close friend, Jordan Gill to chat with me about 5 things I've learned in the design world since starting my podcast.  Here's what we covered on the episode: 1. You Bring Something to the Table That No One Else Does  How Jordan and I met through working on a launch for an affiliate program together, ran in the same online space and ended up bonding over a not so good client experience  Jordan's take on me as a designer and what I bring to the table that is different from other designers  Lesson number 1 that I've learned and want to share about the design world is that you are different and bring something to the table that someone else doesn't bring The key to your identity is understanding who you are, what you want out of a job or business and understanding that you are different  How I've never thought of myself as good when it comes to branding but that's not true, and how I am good when it comes to branding digital offers — you might have a skill that you don't consider your best, but that doesn't mean you're bad at it  I touch on the branding work I'm doing for the podcast and how I think it's important to try different things before solidifying your brand  The story of my client, Edie, who came to me wanting to do VIP Days and how I told her to go test it out first instead of building a whole brand around it because she might decide she didn't like it or it didn't work for her  2. Connecting with others in Your Industry Will Help You Go Far Thing number 2 I've learned about the design world is to always be connecting with others because you don't know where a connection could  At the beginning of each episode, I share how I connected with each of my guests to reiterate how important building relationships are in your industry, especially with people who have complimentary skills to your own   My favorite story to tell is how I got my first sales page project by investing in online courses and connecting on Facebook with someone I didn't even know who posted about needing a graphic designer  How reaching out and raising my hand helped me get my first sales page project, and led me to getting referrals to all the all-stars in the online space back in 2013/2014  We discuss how people underutilize the relationships they have because they don't want to bother people or seem like they're needing too much, when in reality you should utilize the relationships you've built When you start connecting with people, you have to go in knowing that it could lead to a great relationship, or it could lead to sales —  don't go into it with expectations of it going a certain way, because it might not 3. You ARE Good Enough The third thing I've learned in the design world is that most of us, especially in the beginning or when we're going through a transition, think that we're not good enough which is not true at all  We think we aren't good enough because somewhere along the way we were told to look at everyone from the competition and there wasn't/isn't enough Design Industry 101 training that teaches you about the different rules, the different projects, how marketing goes with design, etc.  I share that I recorded my first episode for the podcast in April 2019 but didn't post it until October 2019 because I was scared and didn't think I was good enough  If you don't think you're good enough, go out and get projects  4. Your Work Creates a Bigger Impact Than You Think it Does   The fourth thing I've learned in the design world is that you don't realize how big of an impact your work actually has when your head is down and you're doing the work I share one example of how I got to see the impact of my work after creating a sales page for Kimra Luna which helped increased her sales, connected me with another client and how I heard from multiple people at events that they bought Kimra's program because of my sales page design  How you should update your portfolio with 3 or 4 projects you can tell stories about and include projects that feature the kind of work you want to get  I want to take my conversion design skills to the beauty and skin care industry, so if you live it that world, send me a DM   It's Okay to Love What You Do and Get Super Rich Doing It (And Don't Give Up!) The fifth thing I've learned and want you all to know is that it's okay to love what you do, and get super rich doing it and that you should never give up   You are talented and the talent you have in the world matters, no matter what your experience is and if you don't have the experience you want, go get it We recap my 5 main points during this episode which were to truly understand yourself and not be afraid to test things, always be connecting with those in your life and industry, know that you are good enough, realize that the work you do has an impact and know that it's okay to love what you do and get rich doing it   Even if you are in a season of life that is difficult or changing, just keep going —  working a little bit each day is better than giving up on the impact that you could be giving people  It's important to acknowledge that I haven't been feeling like myself for a while so I can remember to be patient with myself instead of feeling sorry for myself — it's okay not to feel okay sometimes  I talk about how I've kept the podcast going this long and through my recent life events because I want to practice what I preach and I understand that sharing the message and stories of other creators is important and has a bigger impact  If you have any questions, comments or feedback, I love DMs on Instagram so send me a message — share this episode on your story and tag me or Jordan's Instagram so we know you listened to this episode or read the show notes   Links mentioned: The Design Business Show - Episode 61    The Design Business Show - Episode 131   Connect with me on Instagram    Connect with Jordan on Instagram  Like what you heard?  Click here to subscribe + leave a review on iTunes.

If you haven't been able to tell by the way I pronounce the word “about,” I should probably let you know that I'm from Canada. And I have to make a confession––growing up in Vancouver, I was fed the line that Canadian history was dull, that it lacked drama (i.e. no revolutionary war against England), and so my historical attention was always drawn to the US. It wasn't until I was deep into college that I began to think otherwise. And, as a result, I know far too little about my country's history. Asa McKercher's superb new book, Canada and the World since 1867 (Bloomsbury Academic Press, 2019), is a strong rebuttal to the Canadian-history-is-boring thesis. Surveying the history of Canada's relations with the rest of the world, the book tracks Canada long decolonization from Britain, its ugly campaign against First Nations communities to take territory and move settlers westward, and how it dealt with having a superpower for a neighbour. The book should not be read, however, just by Canadians or Canadian historians, however. In examining the history of a medium-sized state's foreign policy, McKercher's book helps us understand how the international system itself works. Dexter Fergie is a PhD student of US and global history at Northwestern University. He is currently researching the 20th century geopolitical history of information and communications networks.

This is a compressed explanation of the profound changes wrought by the fossil fuel revolution in the late 18th century.

At Guelph-Wellington Women in Crisis, they deal with issues of violence against women all year round, but for everyone else, at least one day of year makes us all stop and think about femicide and gender-based violence. It's the anniversary of the worst mass shooting in Canadian history, and it was all directed at women because the perpetrator, in his own words, was "fighting feminism" when he killed 14 and injured 10 others at L'École Polytechnique on December 6, 1989. Before listening to the podcast, take a minute to read the names and remember them: Geneviève Bergeron, Hélène Colgan, Nathalie Croteau, Barbara Daigneault, Anne-Marie Edward, Maud Haviernick, Maryse Laganière, Maryse Leclair, Anne-Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, Michèle Richard, Annie St-Arneault, Annie Turcotte, and Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz. Most of them were at school to become engineers, and for whatever reason some angry misogynist thought that was bad. It's the worst case scenario of gender-based violence, but it is far from the only scenario. According to the Canadian Femicide Observatory for Justice and Accountability at the University of Guelph, a woman or girl is killed every two-and-a-half days in Canada, and these are not deaths by strangers. Nearly half, 47.7 per cent, are killed by a spouse or intimate partner, and another 30.5 per cent are killed by a parent or other family member.  Only 3.4 per cent of murdered women are killed by a stranger in the commission of a crime, which says that, statistically, women are in more danger at home than any other place. You wonder what Guelph-Wellington Women in Crisis deal with on a daily business, and these numbers are a brief glimpse into that "day in the life of..." Like what happened at L'École Polytechnique three decades ago, the source of the struggle is the same: misogyny, inequality, control, possession, and hatred. Gender-based violence is real, and it's daily, but it doesn't have to be that way. On this week's edition of the podcast, we're joined by Sly Castaldi and Jessica St. Peter, the executive director and public educator, respectively, of Guelph-Wellington Women in Crisis. With them, we'll talk about what they think about every 6th of December, how the discourse around gender-based violence has changed over the last three decades, and recent social movements like #MeToo. We also talk about the role of education in eliminating gender-based violence, and the role that men need to play reaching that goal including a segment where the host must answer the questions. So let's talk about the issue of gender-based violence nearly 30 years after its worst case scenario on this week's edition of the Guelph Politicast! If you would like to get involved as a donor or a volunteer with Guelph-Wellington Women in Crisis, you can find those links readily available at their website. There are two local commemorations for the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women this Friday, one at the Thornbrough Building at the University of Guelph campus at 3:30 pm, and the other at Gilbert MacIntyre & Son Funeral Home and Chapel at 1099 Gordon Street at 6 pm. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean. Find more episodes of the Politicast here, or download them on your favourite podcast app at iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, and Spotify. Also, when you subscribe to the Guelph Politicast channel and you will also get an episode of Open Sources Guelph every Monday, and an episode of End Credits every Friday.

Ann Jagger was fortunate with a father who was an entrepreneur so she became a very young observer that saw what could be achieved when passion leads. Swimming in the entrepreneurship world throughout her life, now at 60 previous Ann’s last 10 years seem breathtaking; she started a digital print company, a renovation company, a vacation rental business, and an online retail business. You never know when an opportunity will pop up, says Ann and they did. Opportunities presented themselves; and her “do it or lose it” attitude helped her achieve a lot. Her most recent venture is a good example, it’s a twist on her own publishing company, a launching pad for the children's programs she created inspiring children to share their gifts with the world. Sometimes this energetic entrepreneur fought to stay afloat and other times she peacefully floated along.  The thought of starting another business in her 50’s or beyond was exciting allowing her to enjoy her journey even more, now as a “mature preneur!” Throughout this podcast Ann offers ten top vital tips that also kept her energized. Listen to this podcast to learn more of Ann’s enterprises because there are several more from her five book fantasy series for children to audiobooks and programs, and various products. You can see more at these two websites: themagicisme.com and greywinds.com. A final word of wisdom: You never know where life will take you, which is one reason why she tries to do at least one thing every day that scares her. That's how she grows and stays young.

There are many roads to Silicon Valley, but you’ll likely not hear one as unusual as the one my guest today took. Jonathan Nelson started out as the son of missionaries in Honduras and Costa Rica and learned the role of a serving leader by watching his Dad lead a mission organization. But he left Central America for nursing school, a computer science education, and finally headed to Silicon Valley. Today, Jonathan runs Hackers and Founders, the largest network of entrepreneurs in the world. In this conversation we walk through the steps that led him from nursing school to startup founder, how he created an entrepreneurial meetup in a bar that led to an acceleration co-op, and the ways he’s iterating to bring more funding and more improvement to the cultures of Latin America through his company, Hackers and Founders. Why Jonathan decided to sell something other than his time. One of the lessons Jonathan learned as he worked as a nurse is that everybody is selling something, and for most people in the world the thing they are selling is their time. That’s what he was doing as a nurse and what he saw happening around him day after day. He wanted something different. If he was going to sell something, why couldn’t it be a company that could net him millions of dollars? That’s what led him to pursue computer science and step into the world of startups. Jonathan is a fascinating guy who sees things a bit differently than most people - which is exactly what has made him so successful and what is opening doors of opportunity for startups and founders across Latin America. Be sure you take the time to hear his story and get a taste for the creative ways he's empowering startups to solve problems. The serving leader is the only type of leader that makes startups thrive. Being the founder of a startup is not about making a name for yourself, it’s about serving the people your company was built to serve. But before you can get there, you’ve got to learn how to serve the people who make your company’s operations possible in the first place - your team. Jonathan Nelson says that the serving leader will be more likely to experience success because he is not concerned about who gets the credit for the team’s accomplishments. Her role is simply to see that the team has what it needs to accomplish the goals they are all striving for. That is service, and it’s what makes a company cohesive, strong, and ultimately successful. Helping more tech companies be more successful in emerging markets. Hackers and Founders was never intended to become a funding mechanism for startups, it just sort of happened - flowing out of a bunch of entrepreneurs meeting together in a bar to discuss their challenges and get and give advice. The needs represented in the room each week made Jonathan realize that there was great potential there that needed to be realized, so with the nudge of a well-known angel investor, Naval Ravikant, Jonathan took the plunge. Today, Hackers and Founders is aimed at helping more tech companies be more successful, particularly in emerging markets. Jonathan has seen how the entire community surrounding a startup is helped when it is based in Latin America and he wants to see that happen more and more, improving the quality of life for people all across Central and South America.

When I started Bargaineering in 2005, the words “location independent lifestyle” had not yet been put together to mean what it does today. Lifestyle design and Tim Ferriss’ Four Hour Workweek had not yet been published (April 2007). The term digital nomad had no meaning.

Almost 4 years, 5 continents and more than 50,000 kilometers later, he’s still on the road. We met up with Julian in Thailand where he’s currently cycling with partner Ellie Beck.
