Buffett’s children are now ages 72, 70 and 67.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Don't know how those journalists in the budget lock up do it. The federal budget is 493 pages, it's dry, and execpt for the odd graph, it's mostly in black and white. It's a slog of a read & I primarily just bookmark paragraphs to which I will return later. To crush it & report on it is something.

When you read about a donation given supposedly because of "principle-centred leadership, integrity, and trust" and you know the personal business background of the guy . . . 🙄

Batteries are coming to Europe. Earlier this year Europe’s largest battery storage site went live at Blackhillock, Scotland. The facility has a capacity of 300MW/600MWh. Much larger batteries are under development: A huge 1 GW / 4 GWh system is being constructed in Jänschwalde, Germany.

Damn, that's a lot of books. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/t...

@woodward.ca You posted tomatoes/burratta cheese months ago. We riffed off it adding chunks of mushrooms/green olives/red onions/garlic/rosemary/thyme/lemon/oil to the tomatoes, heating all til tomatoes popped. THEN gently laying in the burratta to the centre before serving. Sliced baguettes - mmm.

This summer, Canada’s tourism sector did more business than ever before — by welcoming the world and being our own best customer.    More good news: we just renewed the Canada Strong Pass for the holidays and summer 2026 — so it’s more affordable to explore our incredible country.

@chrismoise.ca Hello Councillor. I trust that you will raise this with the appropriate authorities. This is now standard procedure for the contractor that salts TTC stops and it must be brought to an end. My original post has garnered a great number of angry responses.

This seems hauntingly similar to the way CBC has run for years. 'Both sidesism' and 'balanced' seems to mean to bring in right wing hacks to underfund the national broadcasting corporation as often as it is marginally funded.

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004. Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Local woman wakes up, is wondering if anyone has 2 free or low cost tickets to Sigur Ros in Edmonton tonight for local woman and her husband, makes oatmeal.

"Witch of November" from the article by Bill Gourgey. www.popsci.com/science/edmu...

In the last known image of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, you can see the structural fatigue where she had started sagging in the middle. Freaky!

On this stormy November day in Ontario we remember another storm 50 years ago today that sank the Edmund Fitzgerald.

What's another song about Boats, Ships or Sailing? 🚢 🎶 ⛵️ On November 10, 1975, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald suddenly sank in Lake Superior during a storm, killing all 29 men aboard and inspiring Canadian folk singer Gordon Lightfoot to write a song about the tragedy, "Wreck 0f The Edmund Fitzgerald." 👇

The B.C. Teachers Federation is donating $1 million to support the ATA! The suppression of charter rights is a huge deal and should only ever be used as a last resort. Shame the… (Checks notes) premier of Alberta doesn’t get that. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

What a thriller in Saskatoon. The Huskies score 16 unanswered points in the 4th quarter to beat the Regina Rams in the Hardy Cup. It’s a 25-24 Huskies win. And now they’ll host Queens in the Mitchell Bowl.

Tomorrow morning. Come join a peaceful ride for remembrance

A shout out to people who grew up refusing to accept "life isn't fair" from people who damn well had the power to make it fair and refused to use it. May we be the adults we needed.

When you rely on automation and people who don't know about the thing they're writing about, you get stuff like this. Literally every single day has, climatologically, some amount of rain. Will this forecast article say "this day is usually a bit wet" 365 days a year? That's wrong and useless.

Well - that Jim Byrnes blues singer is one heck of a performer! Anyone recognize the names of the other four musicians that play with him? Haven't been able to track down their names. They held the audience in the cusp of their hands.

Dozing Don is on the job!!

New today from the UCP: They want to increase the speed limits on some rural highways from 110 to 120, posted an online survey to ask for opinions, which runs until Dec 12. Announcement: www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?... Survey: www.alberta.ca/divided-high... #Alberta #abpoli

This survey doesn't take long. It doesn't ask for a lot of personal information. Take it. I'm not in favour of those ABns who always push the speed limits 20kph faster so they start rocketing down hways at 140kph, especially when they're inattentive & bored so they use their phones at the same time.

Both full-time and part-time work were up on a yearly basis. By sector, the influx of work was driven by wholesale and retail trade — which added 41,000 jobs — as well as transportation and warehousing, information, culture and recreation, and utilities. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

If you didn't feel like your palms are sweaty enough this morning...

Haven't set foot in one since they sponsored the 2024 RNC.

One of the most beautiful things about the Irish is their respect for the arts. You find live music at most bars, I went to a literary pub crawl & saw monuments & museums dedicated to writers, poets, musicians, etc. They understand the value of supporting artists & I wish Canada did, too.

David King was MLA for 16 yrs. Cabinet Min (Education) for 7 yrs. Other ppl of stature and Alberta's governmental history need to speak up NOW. No more waiting for current prov gov to 'come to their senses'. This prov gov is the vehicle of transferring AB's riches to wealthy foreign interests.
