Interstate 5 will close today through Camp Pendleton as military confirms it will fire artillery
California will close Interstate 5 on Saturday after military officials confirmed Saturday that live-fire artillery rounds will be shot over the freeway, prompting state officials to shut down the freeway in an unprecedented move that will undoubtedly cause massive gridlock.

Good Morning #Canada
December 15th, 1964, the Canadian House of Commons votes 163 to 78 to approve the red Maple Leaf flag. The vote put an end to years of conflict over the Liberals proposing a new flag, and gave Canada a new symbol for its upcoming 100th birthday celebration. In 1960, Lester B. Pearson, then Leader of the Opposition, declared that he was determined to solve what he called “the flag problem.” To Pearson, this issue was critical to defining Canada as a unified, independent country. As the newly elected Prime Minister in 1963, Pearson promised to resolve the question of a new national flag in time for Canada’s centennial celebrations in 1967. Traditionalists fought for their beloved Union Jack while a younger generation wanted a new modern design to represent Canada. Thousands of designs, some truly ugly, were considered and rejected, including Pearson's preferred flag. I think we did OK in the end.

Good Morning #Canada
On this day in 1948, the longest serving political leader in the British Commonwealth retired. William Lyon Mackenzie King served 21 years and 154 days as Prime Minister of Canada, in non-consecutive terms, from 1921–1926, 1926–1930, and 1935–1948. He led Canada through the Great Depression, introduced Old Age Pensions, nationalized the Bank of Canada, passed the 1938 National Housing Act to improve housing affordability, established the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Trans-Canada Air Lines, and the National Film Board, and implemented Unemployment Insurance. His government was also responsible for Japanese Internment Camps, and he believed strongly in the occult.
This video from TVO is an excellent overview of King's career. It's probably a two coffee viewing this morning if you have the time, but IMO worth the investment.

Good Morning #Canada
I finished my breakfast this morning only to discover that it's National Maple Syrup Day. A missed opportunity but at least I can share some important facts about Canada's sweet and sticky sauce.
- Indigenous People taught early Canadians how to harvest maple sap and boil it down into a sugary liquid.
- A maple tree can yield sap for up to 100 years, but the trees must be roughly 45 years old before it’s first tapped for syrup making.
- It takes roughly 40 gallons (150 litres) of tree sap to produce 1 gallon (3.8 litres) of syrup.
- Quebec produces 72% of the world’s maple syrup. In 2021, that equaled 133M lbs from Quebec.
- The big bottle of Costco Maple Syrup is from Quebec.
- Maple Syrup only has 1 ingredient. Sap.
- Maple Syrup has an indefinite shelf life but should be frozen if storing for more than 2 years.
And regarding the great Maple Syrup heist, this is still the best report on that famous crime.

DHH be like #omarchy

I was talking to my son-in-law today and got an update on how his sister and her husband are doing. They are a great couple with 2 awesome boys. But I'm always asking about them because they are both engineers who met in Ireland while working for an F1 race team. Fast forward almost a decade, and she returned to Canada with her Irish husband in tow to settle down near Hamilton. About a year ago, they were both recruited by GM Motorsport to work on the brand new GM F1 Team with the race car joining the series in 2026. I'm definitely going to see if I can score some tickets to a Canadian event.

DNV's Energy Transition Outlook 2025 report also predicts that distributed generation solar should begin outpacing utility-scale installations in some parts of the world by 2060. It adds that the levelized cost of electricity for solar is beginning to plateau and is expected to slow to an annual drop below 1% by the 2050s.

Our #CanadianCapitals feature today is the oldest European settlement in North America as well as the most eastern city on the continent. Despite a history that goes back to he 1490s, St. John's Newfoundland was incorporated as a city in 1921 and became a provincial capital in 1949 upon joining Canada. The natural harbour served explorers and fishermen for centuries, and the settlement survived pirates, attacks by the French, and several devastating fires. If the Portuguese had more influence, it would have been named Rio de San Johem, which is a missed opportunity.

#HappyBirthday to William Eldon O'Ree, born October 15, 1935, in Fredericton New Brunswick. O'Ree is recognized for being the first black player in the National Hockey League, playing as a winger for the Boston Bruins. His accomplishment of breaking the colour barrier in the NHL has led him to sometimes be referred to as the "Jackie Robinson of hockey." But O'Ree's legacy goes well beyond the small number of games he played in the NHL. He has spent his non-playing days as an ambassador for hockey and focused on diversity and expanding the audience for the sport. His post hockey career is undoubtedly why he has collected so many honors and awards.

Good Morning #Canada
There's been a lot of references to Badlands on social media lately, something about a movie or something. Seems like an opportunity to revisit some real bad lands in Alberta. Seventy-five million years ago, give or take a million years, when dinosaurs walked the earth, southern Alberta was a subtropical paradise of towering redwoods and giant ferns. But then the glaciers came and had their way with the landscape. Today, fertile plains suddenly drop away into a world of multi-hued canyons and wind-sculpted hoodoos. Spanning east from Drumheller to the Saskatchewan border and south to the United States, this region is known as the Canadian Badlands. It is home to the largest deposits of dinosaur bones in the world. It's a little bit more famous than the Cheltenham Badlands in Ontario.

Did you know that a Dodecahedron is a 12-letter name for any 12-sided shape. And did you also know that on this day in 1962, the Canadian Government decreed that our dodecahedron nickel was decadent and that round was right. Pre-1962 nickels are now pretty worth a nickel, but a coin in "mint condition" has been known to fetch a few pennies more.
Have you noticed there are more coin buying events in your neighbourhoods over the past few years? Some of that activity is driven by buyers taking advantage of people wanting to sell old jewelry, collectibles, or jars of coins that are sitting in the back of drawers or closets. But the rise of digital transactions, particularly increased during COVID when no one wanted to touch your infected money, has increased the collectible value of coins and, in some cases, the actual metal value exceeds the face value.

When we downsized we worried about squeezing more bodies into beds when our 2 daughters, son-in-law, and granddaughter come to visit. To solve that issue, we took some open space in the basement and had a Murphy bed installed today. We bought a premium product from a store called Beds Off The Wall in Brampton, Ontario. Great showroom with lots of options that allowed us to customize the cabinet and hardware, with outstanding customer service. The delivery and installation team was also awesome. My wife picked up a couple of folding room dividers so we can create a private space. Pretty happy with the result.

I usually avoid posting until I've had my coffee, but..... Go Jays!

Took my car in for a major service (brakes) this morning, so naturally, our 9-year-old dishwasher died. It started whistling and then stopped and displayed an error code on the control panel. Looked up the error code, and it states, "Turn off the water supply and shut off power to the unit. Contact the manufacturer service department immediately." The use of "immediately" makes me believe that it's serious.
I guess we're shopping for a new dishwasher.

Oh no! The Farmer's Almanac is going out of business. I'll be forced to rely on The Old Farmer's Almanac for all my weather forecasts from now on. I actually didn't know that there were 2 Farmer's Almanacs until one of them announced it was closing down operations.

On December 5th of this year, another farce will be played out at the #WorldCup2026 draw in Washington DC.
Background:
- #FIFA has been facing criticism over holding the World Cup in the USA because Trump's Gestapo/ICE troops are terrorizing any non-white individuals. How many fans will be comfortable traveling to that environment?
- Trump has been threatening to move World Cup matches from any city that doesn't bend the knee to him. FIFA is politely telling the White House that matches can't be moved at this point, and please stop the rhetoric because it only makes teams and fans nervous.
- Yesterday, FIFA announced a new "Peace Prize" that will be awarded on December 5th.
The FIFA Peace Prize is, IMO, a bribe or suck-up strategy to influence Trump, who is obviously still hurt over his missed Nobel Peace Prize. Once it's awarded to Trump - very, very likely - it further cements FIFA's reputation as a trash organization.

In October of 2017, I extended a business trip to Vancouver and had my wife fly out to meet me for some touristy stuff. Vancouver is an awesome holiday destination, and there's no shortage of activities in and around the city. We spent a couple of days exploring Stanley Park, walked the interior trails, played at the Pitch and Putt golf course (opened in 1927), and circled the park on rented bikes. I highly recommend it as a place to visit.
