Ring of Fire - High-Stakes...

Virginia Heffernan

A valuable discovery under the world's second-largest temperate wetland and in the traditional lands of the Cree and Ojibway casts light on the growing conflict among resource development, environmental stewardship, and Indigenous rights 
 
 
 
When prospectors discovered a gigantic crescent of metal deposits under the James Bay Lowlands of northern Canada in 2007, the find touched off a mining rush, lured a major American company to spend fortunes in the remote swamp, and forced politicians to confront their legal duty to consult Indigenous Peoples about development on their traditional territories. But the multibillion-dollar Ring of Fire was all but abandoned when stakeholders failed to reach a consensus on how to develop the cache despite years of negotiations and hundreds of millions of dollars in spending. Now plans for an all-weather road to connect the region to the highway network are reigniting the fireworks. 
 
 
 
In this colorful tale, Virginia Heffernan draws on her bush and newsroom experiences to illustrate the complexities of resource development at a time when Indigenous rights are becoming enshrined globally. The Ring of Fire presents an opportunity for Canada to leave behind centuries of plunder and set the global standard for responsible development of minerals critical to the green energy revolution.

In Search of Darkness - The...

Dirk Fallon

Dark matter is one of the greatest mysteries in the universe. Despite being invisible and undetectable by traditional means, it accounts for a significant portion of the universe’s mass. It has been a subject of scientific inquiry for over a century, and yet, it remains largely elusive. The term "dark matter" was first coined in the 1930s by astronomer Fritz Zwicky when he observed that galaxies in clusters were moving much faster than expected based on the visible matter they contained. Zwicky hypothesized that there must be some unseen mass, which he referred to as "dark matter," to explain the extra gravitational pull. This idea was revolutionary at the time, but it took decades for the concept of dark matter to gain widespread acceptance in the scientific community.
In the following years, astronomers and physicists continued to gather indirect evidence for dark matter’s existence. The observation of galaxy rotation curves provided another compelling clue. Galaxies, such as our Milky Way, were found to rotate faster at their outer edges than could be explained by the visible matter alone. If only the mass of the stars and gas were considered, the galaxies would not be able to maintain their rotation speeds without breaking apart. However, the additional gravitational influence of dark matter seemed to explain this discrepancy, pointing to its presence.
Despite this evidence, scientists still have no direct way to detect dark matter. It does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible to traditional telescopes and detectors. The most that can be done is to observe its effects on visible matter, radiation, and gravitational forces. The hunt for dark matter has since become a driving force in astrophysics and particle physics, with scientists developing new methods and tools to try and detect it.

Cracking Hitler's Atlantic Wall...

Richard C Anderson

A military historian analyzes the ingenious WWII tanks known as Hobart’s Funnies, detailing their development and their role in the D-Day campaign. When the British and Canadians landed in Normandy on June 6, 1944, they were accompanied by specialized armored vehicles designed to remove German obstacles and mines. Developed by the Royal Engineers, these tanks known as Hobart's Funnies featured a range of ingenious innovations, from carpet-laying and bridge-laying devices to a giant 290-millimeter mortar.   Examining these vehicles from technical development to combat deployment, military historian Richard C. Anderson Jr. gives a minute-by-minute account of D-Day's early hours on Sword, Juno, and Gold Beaches—the critical moments when success hinged on the assault engineers’ ability to  clear a path or breach the seawall.   Anderson also describes the events on Omaha and Utah Beaches, where U.S. troops, despite being offered these vehicles, stormed ashore without them. Through careful comparison of conditions and outcomes, Anderson assesses the vehicles’ performance and impact on D-Day's successes and failures.
