"Well, I mean, I think that those sorts of dispossessions and kind of forced movement of people and movements under contexts where people have lost the things that they need to make living in community and to make decent lives and to live in a good way is something we absolutely sort of see in the making of Canada and it's built into the bones of cities like this and cities across Western Canada that have this sort of colonial transformation in a transformation that is enacted through multiple sorts of violences kind of at their core. And that is the kind of booster Y rah rah kind of white city that the Hudson's bay company store when it opens in the middle of the 1920s very much sort of represents. All right, moving on from that pleasant bit of history. Let's fast forward a wee bit to 1926 when the bay opens, it's massive store at the corner of portage avenue and memorial boulevard. Construction began in September of 1925, truly massive structure over 600,000 ft². It has 8 stories, 6 above ground two below, and a gross area of 15 acres, over 6 hectares of floor space. And it was seen as an architectural marvel of its day, both in terms of its materials, but also how it looked, right? I mean, it was grandiose to say the least. Yeah, I remember walking around that building still when there was still the Hudson's bay company. I was because it was a bit of an artifact. It was actually something to see because these things are built in a way like it's designed for you to be in awe and impressed. This is like, this is not an accident that it looked that great. And you walk around it that's a bit of a maze to it. There's a life within that building by design, and it was meant to be impressive. And it was. And I remember walking through this and I sort of like a lot of people you sort of connect to structure and there was a weird kind of like, oh my God, this is such an amazing beauty of a thing. I hope it doesn't go away. But then you got to remember why it's there. And what paid for it? Yes, exactly. And who? Yeah, I mean, it's a massive hulk of a building. And it's absolutely Ken's right. It's designed to have that kind of imposing and awe inspiring kind of architecture. And I think it is time opulence as well. But it's sort of space on the landscape. As this kind of hulk of a kind of gray concrete, but also grand and kind of auspicious buildings. I think sort of speaks to all of these histories and the way that we are expected is people who might walk through it in one way or another to respond. And it was one of 6. So it was part of a concerted campaign for the bay to put its stamp on the landscape. Obviously. In a particular context of Western Canada, because I think the 6 are Winnipeg, Saskatchewan, Calgary, Edmonton, Victoria, Vancouver. Yeah. Yeah, it's right back to the gift of the companies. We've seen 70, as far as those territories. Yeah, 'cause one of Edmonton pales, like the original one in Edmonton pales to the one in Winnipeg, the one Winnipeg was like the mother store. Because having lived in saskatoon and of course having lived in Edmonton, the Hudson's bay original Hudson's bay building here is being repurposed by the university of Alberta. But it's not nearly as tall, it's not nearly as deep in terms of what the Winnipeg story is. The Winnipeg store is huge. But I'm glad you kind of hinted at the paradox there about one's feelings towards that structure because it's magnificence is hard to deny. I mean, and I remember when they were like, oh, we might have to tear down Eaton's and the bay. And I was like, you can let eatons go. It's a glorified box to me, but the bay for some reason I thought, no, no, we must do something to preserve it. Which is like me compartmentalizing. You know, it's like, well, despite his bloody history and all the lives and lands that were lost in order to fund it, it sure is pretty. Well, there's that. Like it sure is pretty, but also for a long time that building in one way or another, you know, offer certain things. It was a warm place to walk through when you went from one bus to another. There was groceries in the basement for decades, and in a context of place where people lived and increasingly an indigenous space within a city that has a really meaningful indigenous kind of presence and component. It had also people had their own uses of it. I think that also is one of the kind of things that happens in colonial contexts. Like these things are designed and they are maintained with certain interests and mine, but we may use them with other ones. And so we may have warm feelings and real material connections as the same time we can recognize the harm and the violence that produced it. All right, let's fast forward a little more by the 2000s, it's seen better days, both the corporation and this particular store, this particular location, and it starts to shut down floors like almost maybe one or more at a time to the point where I think just two floors were operating at one point, not too long ago. And it was around that time I think we started to hear talk about wither Canadian retail and I mean, I think there was some questioning about whether the bay management had been doing a good job or not, but I do think some people are also wondering about the sector as a whole. I want to take us to 2019 to March 21st, 2019. There's an article entitled the bay given heritage status. This is from the Winnipeg sun. When it makes city council, granted final approval to add the bay building to the city's historical resource list. So basically it has a municipal heritage designation and this is what I found interesting. Hudson's bay itself, the company opposed the.

"My friend Sophia and I and when we came down you come down through this huge moraine field and my knees got destroyed coming down through that because it's all these huge boulders. There's no gravel insight, no dirt insight. I could have kissed the ground when we got back to the dirt trail because you're just moving through such like, it's just bolder from boulder to Boulder, nothing is even. You're just bolder hopping and trying to step down off of all these uneven rocks and some of them are moving on you and definitely definitely feel that. And then you're like, why are the glaciers retreating so much? It'll be so much easier. Oh, totally. And actually on that hike we did, my friend had a picture of one of the other glaciers that you go by on that is, I think it's called wedge wedge bot maybe. I don't remember the exact name, but she had a picture from a couple summers before. And seeing that Lake with the glacier behind. And she looked it up after and then compared the picture to us being up there last time. And even then you could see the glacier was way further back than it used to be. So it was different than it used to be. There's this super cool website called this project called mountain legacy. And the reproducing archive images. So they're revisiting sites where images were taken in the 19 40, 1915. Yeah, like early 1900, and they're going back to these places and taking exactly the same picture and gets the change in the landscape. And there's pictures from all over Western Canada. And it's really cool to go and just compare and sometimes you don't even recognize the landscape. You're like, wow, if I didn't know this was taken from the exact same spot, I wouldn't, I would say that it's not..

"Where they clear cut all trees, including all of the mother trees, especially the mother trees, because they were the most valuable. And then replanted them to tree farms, which were very simplified, mostly single species for us where they weeded out all the native plants or most of them, so they could promote the growth of these sort of master trees that would then they could cut in a few more decades to make money from them. And so I just thought this was or I saw that this was harmful to the ecosystems. And I started to try to figure out why they were harming the trees and why it was actually causing trees to die to manage a forest like that. And it's not just trees that you've been looking at throughout your career as it's also about what's buried in the soil. Is that right? Yeah, so all trees all over the world, including here in the UK, depend on fungi or fungi. Which grow in the soil, and there's all kinds of fungi, but one special group is called a mycorrhiza, and mycorrhiza literally means fungus root, and they're a symbiotic, mutualistic association meaning that these fungi live in the roots of the trees, and the trees provide energy through photosynthate, because their photosynthesizing their leaves. They provide the fungi with energy that then uses to grow at mycelium through the soil and gather up nutrients and water to bring back to the tree. And so all of the trees all over the world are dependent on these fungi. And the fungi are the great linkers in the forest. They're what form this Internet between trees. Wow. So you've studied this area, haven't you? You went back to college and you really looked into this. Yeah, I actually got my PhD studying this and discovered that you have forests are great forests in Western Canada, the great iconic old growth forests are completely underlain by these fungal networks..

You may have learned about Louis real who led the mate he resistance. But beyond that, not much else is taught in schools. Historically, the mate didn't fit in society. And at times, we're even rejected by their first nation families. It is a history of rebellion, of resistance, and a forced assimilation. Textbooks and children's books perpetuate the notion of this mixed or hybrid identity. Land is key to mate he just as much as it is to other indigenous people, but this story of script and how Western Canada was settled is very much untold.

"We wouldn't meet some other bigger investors criterias with having ten plus property. I think we have ten here. But basically how i found ours was through the best possible option from who i was talking to know. You mentioned that you started off with a property manager. Are you still using that same company. Or have you transitioned into self-management. What's what's been the change. We have pivoted into self management and it's brilliant interesting move and that is we look at where we want ahead in the multifamily space and we look at those larger players in our market in. Let's say in western canada as a whole or canada's a whole and how are they operating and a lot of them do in house management They build all their systems in house. As they add buildings it just falls into the systems. And i've really lucked into their companies and their books and the publicly traded ones and to see like what are they doing and so that was kind of where we decided to breed in house. we're having some vacancy issues that were well beyond what should be normal with no real good reason. We have a great. You know location for the property and so we decided that as we're bringing on our second building that we would pit both of them into self management and with that we got a lot of crazy we've people thought we were crazy to begin with to take on twelve doors and then the second part was like okay great. You guys aren't gonna have life now that you're gonna be managing twenty four units like now good property management. I think is something that if we could tap into somebody who we felt really was great and efficient in our market. We probably still hire it out. But we were able to leverage systems and using online tools and really set up infrastructure. I'll call it digital infrastructure to stream laws so we aren't handling tenants in toilets at all hours of the night or those kinds of things so we're about six months now seven months into self managing and it's pretty great. I have my evenings. My family still sees me. My kids enjoy life. It's actually worked out really well. A key point was that you built the infrastructure and you built the systems in place so that it can run smoothly and of course things will still come up but you put in the work when you started the management company so that it wasn't just k- austin trying to handle a ton of different things you have these systems and all the structure put in place. So what kind of software are you using to manage these units. We're using bill them. Yeah so we find it really fantastic. In terms of we've automated a lot of payments. We use largely pat agreements preauthorized debits. So they're rents come. Automatically out. On the i. I think we're about eighty percents uptake on that..

"On them. There's two things that are better clay here right so i is what we'll call him. The pneumatic desire. Kind of break. That down and then. The second thing is our ability to forecast accurately. What makes us happy gay. So mimetic. desire the reworded. Unedic is neem right. So it's this sort of social proof we look around at what other people are doing and we go. I think that's gonna make me happy. Like i want the big house like the kardashians or you know. I want the flashy car like this athlete. Or i want the big corner office job or whatever. The case may be so. I think many many of us have not taken the time to sit down and sort of be still and say what really makes me happy. You know who am i. What makes me happy. And what doesn't so. That's one thing we've got sort of. You know everything from the neighbors to the media. Kind of telling us who we should be in what we should want. I think that. Sometimes we're uncritically absorbing those messages to to our detriment and then the other thing is. We're just not that good at predicting what makes us happy. We're predicting stuff that will give us physical pleasure right like no one's ever had a meeting about whether or not to make liver and onion flavored ice cream because we can look at that space. Go you know what that's not going to be great right. That's that's going to be great because it's a physical sensation. We know this is going to feel good. This is gonna hurt but when it comes to our psychological wellbeing were much less able to forecast. What makes us happy. So there's a famous study done on. People who are in severe accidents become disabled and people who win the lottery and it found that one year on their levels of happiness. Were not that different than where they started. If i ask you what would happen tomorrow. If you won the lottery you would say you know like i would be on cloud nine i would be said i would be so happy and i'd say well what happened if you were in a tragic car accident. You lost the use of your legs. You would say wow. That would be so tough. That would be so hard. The truth is hard stuff doesn't make us as sad as we think. And good stuff. Doesn't make us happy as we think. In a lot of happiness internal and it's sort of self derived and candidly a lot of happiness genetic so it's sort of at sort of out of our control in some respects to so those two things i think. Make it difficult for us to really kind of pin down what we want in. What's gonna make us happy. Because there's a lot of competing messages in my recalling. Maybe it's the same study but those individuals who were in the car accident after x. amount a munster. They regained their kind of baseline happiness level prior to the accident. So they do so what happens is there is an initial spike. People who win the lottery are. I didn't really are happy for a few months than people who are injured in an accident really are sad for a few months then what we find is about. Fifty percent of happiness is genetic right so people have sort of a happiness set point lead in the same way that people have a healthy weight. Set point everyone can influence their weight. Your diet exercise but it's easier for some people than others and this is true of happiness right like everyone can influence their happiness for the better or the worst through through the decisions that they make but some people are certainly more naturally happy than others and so we find both groups sort of reverting to a set point after about a year or so. It's so interesting. i guess it. come on. Come back to this behavioral finance. The root of it is what people like yourself talk about his cognitive biases. These mental shortcuts. That help us make quick decisions amongst thousands of decisions. we have to from evolutionary standpoint. There are really important. And that's why you. And i are still here and it seems that over the last two hundred so thousands of years that we've been around we've evolved allot except my app on my phone in canada. At least my app store on the us. I can't download the latest two point. Oh the human brain and it seemed like the brain hasn't been. We can't install download the new version of her brain so these cognitive biases that one point in time help us survive evolve but now when we look at look at them especially through a lens of personal finance investing. You talk a lot of boating. Your books are we. I'm meaning to sound negative but are we financially. Doomed are we. Could we not make financial decisions our these cognitive biases impact. Maybe start just a little bit of definition around them and can we do anything about them. Yeah so we are. Ill built to make the make good financial decisions. Like let's put it out there right. So i really like the way that you sort of teed up this this discussion around biases because i think a lot of times. We use bias in the sense of a racial prejudice or or something like that. I think people have sort of the wrong idea about what. Bias is more broadly bias. Broadly is a heuristic or a mental shortcut. That is the result of a couple of things. The first thing is that we make thirty five thousand decisions every day. Are you make hundreds of decisions every day about what to eat and i mean a lot of those decisions are you know. Should i eat now. Should i eat now to get a drink now. And it's you know it's often no right but we make hundreds of decisions day about food. We make thousands and thousands of decisions about other stuff. And so we're not going to sit down with a t. chart and do a very deep dive on the pros and cons of every one of those were the teeny tiny decisions. We're going to rely on things like emotion we're going to rely on what's worked in the past and we're gonna rely on shortcuts and you know for the most part that's terms this really really well right. We see the survey angry looking guy on our side of the street and go. You know i'm gonna across the other side of the street and usually that's the right thing to do writes. Sometimes we miss judge a person but usually that's the right thing to do in these these biases of the shortcuts. Key bus efficient and they keep us working while what's tricky though. Is that a lot of what works. Elsewhere in the life works poorly in finance so the rules of everyday life apply very poorly to the world of finance so take something like action bias right which is our tendency to want to to move in the face of danger fighter flight sort of thing while if you're being chased by a bear like action. Bias is incredibly adaptive right. You should run. And when i was in western canada for a summer i saw a bunch of bears and i was glad to have my action. Bias you Sort of engaged. So i have my wits about me now. Think about the stock market in the stock market. What you should do when there is a bear if you will win in the stock market the thing that you should do if there's a volatile market is typically nothing but you're not wired to do nothing in the market anymore than you're wired to do nothing when you see a while animal and so i can go on and on but a lot of these things that apply and serve us well. Elsewhere in life are one hundred eighty degrees different in financial markets. So is there any hope for us. I think the greatest hope we have is working with. Third party candidly working with someone. Sorta outside of ourselves and an automating these behaviors. Because there's evidence that you know there's evidence that learning about behavior in and of itself is inadequate. Thirteen percent of people in the us.

So i just felt for me and my life you know having having a job and then being a real estate investor on the side just seemed to make sense and it gave me some financial freedom That i had anticipated. And that's it's interesting that you had that opportunity to be in a company with an entrepreneurial mindset because that's how companies are now they they want to be more of that kind of entrepreneurial culture back in the nineties it was very very corporate so to have that kind of different culture. Must've been both both freezing. I guess and interesting. And that's probably what appeal to it was amazing.

And and i know you and i are going to get into discussions about branding and stuff like that but you know the biggest thing is is being able to develop a business plan and you develop a business plan it. It's it's comprehensive. Because you know you have to know where to start and then you have to be committed to the business in the Alive times people don't think of investment real estate as a business but it is definitely a business i always tell people you need a entrepreneurial and small business mindset and once you have that then you then you have to go about setting up your real estate business and their stages that you have to go through in doing that and then it's like any business you have to make sure you have.

How did you start out holding a stake in a field. And i'm guessing it wasn't a cow. I think it was a different guy. Mistake how you go from holding a stake in the field to planning a stake on the internet and attracting people to your community That's a great way to put that question. I was visiting my uncle on the farm in southern san sketchy and he said I need. I need some help in the field scott and he gave me this piece of wood and he said just put it here and then move ten feet. Every time i come by with the tractor. And that's how i made. He made straight lines when he was furloughing. The fields and and from there i learned the value of good honest work and i spent twenty years managing grocery stores in western canada. And then when the nineteen ninety s rolled around company started to computerize. I thought if they put computers in the stores this computer thing must be more than just a fad.

I enjoyed have one. Thank you sir. Well no it's a blast and So what do you want to do is get my audience to get to know you so my question for you is. How did you start out holding a stake in a field. And i'm guessing it wasn't a cow. I think it was a different guy. Mistake how you go from holding a stake in the field to planning a stake on the internet and attracting people to your community That's a great way to put that question. I was visiting my uncle on the farm in southern san sketchy and he said I need. I need some help in the field scott and he gave me this piece of wood and he said just put it here and then move ten feet. Every time i come by with the tractor. And that's how i made. He made straight lines when he was furloughing. The fields and and from there i learned the value of good honest work and i spent twenty years managing grocery stores in western canada. And then when the nineteen ninety s rolled around company started to computerize. I thought if they put computers in the stores this computer thing must be more than just a fad. Because these guys are like slow when it comes to being know cutting yet there about as far away from being cutting edge as you can be and got a computer and then i realized shortly thereafter that All of the people who had my position.

"Because we do have these strong regionally entities and we all have to kind of figure out a way to to live together when these bigger crises come along. I think the question we have to ask ourselves and there's some research to back. This up is does. Federalism kill is federalism. A net negative in twenty first century of bigger global challenges from climate to geopolitics pandemics. That are pressing down on. Nation states are federations. Just more brittle less capable of rising to those challenges. What what do you think that argument. I think as a really important point there for canadian citgo to think hard about as we move forward roger because the pandemic believe it or not a was relatively speaking far from the worst pandemic of ad but it does give us a chance to think about next time the next time may not only be a pandemic climate change. You know the you know. Look at intense heat that western canada and northwestern united states are willing to weather. It's climate change or not. We have a lot more than we had a go Any kind of natural disaster so much of it is locally driven locally determined and that could be a strange but it's not a strength when nova scotia puts up border controls that locks out new brunswick curse which is what happened. Never mind all of atlantic canada being off limits to the rest of us although it worked for again sold border controls buying vaccine's out in the global market vying. Pp an you need a national government to do. The provinces don't go into the global market to buy the stuff that we need to manage a crisis but it's a tough job for the federal government to buy everything and then say okay roger. Premiera kensington street. This is for you to distribute you do it any way you want and At all do is listen to you. Complain wind about how. I didn't get it done in a timely way. Which is what the premier's did frankly all your on this country. I don't think are structured was well designed to get through this I mean some of the other big issues This year obviously That i've thought about it as is mental illness. And the extent to which the credible isolation that so many people experience especially what i hear from families with teens younger children who were denied in some cases in provinces such as ontario really months without socialization and education experience with their peers. I think that's going to be a major legacy on a positive note though 'cause we should talk about positive things too. I was really heart warmed in the last week to see the number of new small businesses that canadians have created during the last year. There is a certain Resiliency kind of entrepreneurial drive that kicks in a moment of adversity. So it's not that the cup is half empty but maybe it's not half full either. That's a very important story. The local response the local response the close to the ground. You were rugged the better you did and you see this with small business. Believe it or not believe it or not. This is an astonishing story. More restaurants opened across this country then close during the pandemic they. They adapted on a dime. They delivered takeout food. They moved online. Yeah they lost money. Many of them in they're going to have to dig ourselves out of big all. But the adaptability the flexibility in entrepreneurship that have crossed canada as vulnerable sectors. Adopted was really impressive. We also have to talk The shocking revelations that came of unmarked graves loss largely. We don't know yet because of forensics are not done but clearly.

This is a broadly temperate climate, part of the country, Western Canada, British Columbia. Only about 40% of households have air conditioning. Now that there's a big concern that many people, particularly elderly people, healthy people in residential homes, for instance, don't have access to sufficient cooling, and as a result, cooling centers have been set up in libraries and community centres right across British Columbia and Alberta. So the government here is particularly concerned that there is a sort of looming health emergency that somebody even on Tuesday described as potentially more serious and deadly than Covid mighty so looming health emergency and what what is the government actually doing to try and at least manage it best? Relatively little. If you think about it that the government can do it's just a lot of public health advice. Vaccination clinics, many of them are still Sort of ramped up and and trying to deliver as many vaccines into arms as possible. Many of those sites have had to move because there was insufficient cooling in place. There is a campfire banned the the other big concern right across western Canada is as a.

"Production. I'll keep this simple. I'm not an expert. But i know this is bad no matter where you are in western canada right now. It is very hard to escape. The heat one usually strong ridge of high pressure bubbled up of the province on friday. Creating a heat dome and that dome is trapping air that it's hot an oppressive now. Canada has reached its highest recorded temperature part of british columbia reach forty six point six degrees celsius yesterday. Officials did announce the right now. The health risks associated with the heat wave outweigh those associated with cova nineteenth whenever we see whether anomalies like this. The first question we asked is usually about climate change. And it's a simple one. Did we 'cause this the answer is never quite as simple but it's also usually at least partially yes. We did on the other side of that equation. Though people who believe in human made climate change are quick to ridicule folks who discount that because it gets cold in the winter so the obvious question is. Are we doing the same thing because of a few unprecedented days of summertime. Heat does the same theory. That weather is not climate. Apply to the scary records that we're seeing set all across the west coast. What is a heat dome anyway and not to sound stupid but how does it work and more critically. Is this something we need to plan for. As part of our summer's now as the world warms up if it is what should canadians and more importantly the cities they live in and the governments. They vote for. Be doing to adapt to it. Is this incredible spike in temperature. The wakeup call that we've been expecting or did we miss the wakeup call. And this is the sign that now it's too late. I'm jordan heath rawlings. This is the big story catherine. Heyhoe is a renowned canadian climate scientists. She's also the author of the upcoming saving us a climate scientists case for hope and healing in a divided world. The new book comes out on september twenty first but catherine heyhoe joins us today. Hey catherine thank you for having me. Oh you're very welcome. And maybe before we get into the discussion around climate change and long term trends just as a weather phenomenon. Can you explain what's happening in british columbia and the pacific northwest right now. Oh my goodness well. It's not like we haven't known for years and even decades that climate change would make our heat extremes even stronger but when you see with your own eyes in a place where you might live or people you know live. It is just a whole other level of shocking. We often think of climate. Change is a distant issue that will affect only future generations or people who live far away but today we know it is here here it is now and it is affecting us in our families and our friends and our loved ones in places that matter to every single one of us the way i think about it is. Climate change is loading the weather dice against us so we always have a chance of rolling a double six. A heat wave of flood a wildfire a storm but as the world warms decade by decade. And of course canada's warming twice as fast as the global average. It's as if that warming is sort of sneaking in and taking some of those numbers on our dice and replacing some of those sixes with sevens. And that's what we're seeing today. So what exactly is A heat dome. Which is what. I've heard this phenomenon called so often the past week. A heat dome is a cloak you'll term for what we atmospheric scientists call a high pressure system and a high pressure system is usually kind of circular so a sort of looks like dome and it sits over an area and what it does is it sort of traps the the air in the heat there and it suppresses convection which is what leads to precipitation in hot weather so not only. Is it hot. it's dry. And the dryer it gets the hotter it gets the hotter. It gets the derive at guess. It is a vicious feedback cycle. How bad has it gotten over the past few days in these areas we sort of heard some reports of all time high temperatures in canada. Oh yes well. We broke the record with forty six point six degrees and then i think we have broke it again with forty seven degrees celsius. I mean we're not numbers that you with. Canada as dave phillips who's been one of the top meteorologists at environment canada for years and even decades as dave said he says it doesn't even feel like canada. This doesn't sound like canada. were you expecting. And i don't mean like expecting his in this week or this month or whatever but is this something. Climate scientists have been expecting for awhile now to see these kind of rapid jumps. Well we have already known through tracking temperature over years decades and even centuries. We know that canada is already breaking hot. hot month. Records three times more frequently than we'll break in cold month records. So it's it's three times more likely to have a record breaking hot month in candidate today than it. Was you know one hundred years ago. We also know that. We're breaking lot more individual heat records in canada than cold temperature records and these are the statistics that have been changing gradually decade by decade. So we know that we're getting more high temperature extremes but when we see these massive outliers that break all of our national records anywhere anytime as far as any. Thermometers have ever measured across canada. That can't help but be shocking to all of us as humans because this is where we live. This is our country this is these are our lives that are being affected by these records. I'm glad you mentioned cold. Temperatures as well. Because i wanted to ask about that. I know when it gets really really cold in the winter here or anywhere for that matter. You kind of hear people saying oh you know well. How can it be global warming if it's so freezing cold and and our response to them is often. That weather is different from climate And i guess. I just want to poke a little bit on the opposite end here and say you know. Is this unprecedented heatwave. Do only to climate change or is this. You know a mixture of like this is just whether to. It's an unexpected heat spell. Well it's always both and in fact it's cold outside whereas global warming now is such a common question that i actually made a global weirding episode specifically about that. I have a little youtube series. I do with pd called at global weirding and one of them is about. How do i know it's getting warmer when it's cold outside but what we have is we have our natural weather patterns with climate change on top of them so we have our natural weather dice that have ones and twos on them as well as fives and sixes right so we always have a chance of rolling those double ones or double twos which could be the cold temperatures but we're getting more and more sixes and even some sevens on our dice so it's like climate change is loading the natural weather dice against us. People often ask well. Was this heat. Wave climate change or was that hurricane climate change. And i say that's not the right question because we know we've always had heat waves and hurricanes storms and floods wildfires droughts and more. We know that they've existed. You know as long as been humans on this planet even before that but what's happening is climate. Change is exacerbating the making them worse so the question now is how much worse did climate change. Make this event. We haven't crunched the numbers yet for this heat. Wave but for past heat waves like. I don't know if you remember a year ago. Last june in siberia it was over a hundred degrees fahrenheit in siberia and scientists calculated that that heat wave was made six hundred times more likely because.

Like so many people in the world and athletes job has suddenly been disrupted and income has stopped coming in competition stopped. They're no longer going to their equivalent of the office and they're trying to figure out what comes next and volcanic was great. He is in western Canada right now. In like so many of us is in this cosmic holding pattern. So we talk about what? It's like for an athlete. Their career suspended and we talk a little bit about tennis politics. As well of course we would not even a global pandemic caused tennis to unite quite the contrary on Tuesday. We got news at the French Open was unilaterally grabbing these dates in late September early October for a hopeful reschedule the twenty twenty French Open This caused quite a bit of consternation in tennis land. We talk about that in a number of other topics so Nice conversation with one of the good guys. Here's Varsha Hospital. We are recording this Wednesday about noon. East Coast time. I appreciate you doing this. Yeah this is strange strange times and I figured we. Can you know you can always talk tennis? Politics Plum. I'm more interested in what life is like for you. How how are you doing? What are you doing? I'm doing okay. I'm while I've I've back to Canada about four five days ago. Came from from southern California. Were Indian Wells and Sonam in isolation basically. I'm I'm staying home. I'm trying to learn how to cook which is not going so well. I'm trying not to go out. And obviously you know it's really important to be to be responsible now especially as the spire spreads and Um so I just Especially for the older population. I mean that's that's the the biggest risk right so yeah very very strange times and very talk times. I mean this is You know not fun right now. That's for sure and it's Think the world's in top place right now in your in Vancouver right yeah. I'm I'm in Vancouver. Yeah to kid. Can you go you know run around Stanley Park? Can you do anything to stay in shape? Yeah you can. I mean there's It's a it's a recommended quarantine at the time at this time. It's not a mandatory one. Ah so you can go outside But I mean I'm only going outside to work to run in the in the park and try not to to make contact with anybody. Obviously because I think right now I said You know until we fully understand this this thing. It's it's important to to kind of make sure you distance yourself from from people so I'm spending about ninety percent of the time it indoors or more I should say and And trying to do work out here as well have been doing some like you know. Sit Bodyweight stuff. Sit ups push ups the in these kinds of basic things to do when I was a kid so Yeah just trying to do what I can. But which is talk. When you're you're indoors all day. Do you have a time in your head? What are you thinking? I anticipate coming back in time. And how is this playing out mentally? No I'm I'm You know I don't think anybody really knows how long it will take. I mean I think it's pretty safe to say that the next couple of months. Are you know pretty much a scratch in terms of in terms of the tennis tour? I'm not sure Novica announcements even unofficially. I'm not sure but I don't see. Don't see that being the case and obviously now we saw the rolling girls changed their dates. So you know clearly they're not expecting Think say improve very quickly either and But at the same time we never know but I'll be very surprised if if if there were any tournament. Thanks next to two months or three months so it sounds like this is as much a mental challenge of physical. One you can. You can get yourself back and playing shape but if you don't know when that next event is gonNA come. It must be hard to mental mentally account for a comeback. Yes it is and and the other thing is I mean it. Yeah it definitely is because we're not we're not used to training are playing without A target in mind in terms of the next competition is either. You're you're not trading because you're injured and then when when you're you know Healed up then you have an idea of when you want to start playing in your training for that in mind. So it motivates you and your training with a purpose right now you kinda feel You know that a anything we do right now could be completely pointless so it's also not a bad time to rest body because the tennis season is so long and we never really get time to rest to rest which is which is also important right so I mean that's that's one thing I'm not really intending are pushing my body too much next couple of weeks for sure and and even so. I'm not quite sure when when it'll be time to push the body. I'll just try to stay. You know relatively Relatively good shape just to be more more so just to be ready to handle handle workload once. It's time to start training so I don't think I'll know that for a while. I wonder if if you guys don't say this is. This is now a sport where you play into your late thirties. Maybe it's a disguised. Blessing that at age twenty nine you. You've got this three month period of inactivity the two up yeah. I mean yeah well in terms of yeah in terms of You know arrests for the body. It's definitely like a good thing To to to have a bit of a break obviously You know nobody. You know you don't want it to be in circumstances like this. You don't want a virus to be the reason you know a global threat to be a reason for that but but But of course yeah there are some some things you can some positives of some things you can take for sure. But but overall it's Not Idealistic Get can I ask you about about income about finances? We all saw that Jovovich and the doll and they deserve every penny they. They've made as far as I'm concerned but some players have the means to To whether this no problem but how our players getting through this with no income source while I mean I. I've been very fortunate. I mean I'm I'm in a difference You know a little bit different position where I've I've been able to save up some money over. The years had good results. So so I'm I'm just in a very fortunate state where where you know. This doesn't necessarily impact me in a very big way. So I'm I'm very lucky in but that's not the case with as you can see with most most people in the world in general and and in Tennessee as well as tough because You know if you're you're not a consistent let's say top fifty player big results or had money saved up. Then you know the players that are outside of the top hundred there there You know I'm sure they're in very very difficult situations. And not just a unfortunate reality and and I'm not really sure what what The tour will will do if they will do anything. I'm pretty sure they're they're working on solutions right now to help those with with lower incomes. help them financially. Because I think you know they're obviously the ones that that that probably needed needed. Most you know having said that obviously affect everybody right suddenly you don't have income and your expenses are always high even though maybe now they're not so much but but Yeah I mean I think I think it affects the tennis world just as much as as It affects you. Don't a lot of a lot of other industries obviously minus atop the top ranks players. That have made a lot of money. Yeah exactly and you're you're right. We should point Mrs something that Every Marriott hotels in every restaurant in the world everyone is wrestling with the same issue at some level I mean have you heard our players sticking with their coaching arrangements? I mean are. You're not probably expenses. But they're still expensive for players. Have you heard about tennis players? Making adjustments there no haven't really Other than just what will you know what I'm doing personally? I haven't really You know I'm not really aware of what what's been going on with the other players and their arrangements in the coaching. I mean it's I think I think It's just kind of a tough tough time. Where were suddenly you know even coaches and physios and fitness trainers were were? Nobody's making any in common But you know I I think it depends on the the agreements that that each player has with their teams individually. So it's I think there's still a lot of question marks that I think will be answered next couple of weeks. I think once you know maybe there's a bigger delay announced for now. The official announcement is still just six weeks of the tour being cancelled which like. I said. We'll be much more on it. I think once not announcement comes up. And maybe maybe there'll be some changes In around the you know the player often and compensation not sure it's a very interesting and Yeah I think we're just kind of thinking on our feet day-to-day and taking it as it comes right now. I mean a week ago. They that announcement came out about a six week. Delay and I think everybody was fairly shocked. And now boy if we get back out there in six weeks it'll be. It'll be a tremendous achievement. For for all of us. I never mind tennis. That will I think get off the very opportunistic. Get back to your actually totally. I mean I remember. Yeah when the announcement I came you know when Indian Wells was cancelled obviously Things have just EXCO. It's so much so quickly since then that that I mean it's it's.

What to make of Blackhawks moves on NHL trade deadline day
"And talk a little bit more about what the Blackhawks did we bring in Charlie a room only autos from Anna corona hotline from N. B. C. sports Chicago Charlie how are you tonight Fred you nailed my last name they're not a lot of people can do that on the first try well I've been I've said it three times during the show so I try to get it right it is actually the more you look at it the more it is exactly like it's spelled sell it all but that is I'm I'm sure I'm sure you've got a letter from cap though well yeah well I in everything we've all got lessons from cap have only let's be honest yeah yeah we generally did did the Blackhawks get get done what they wanted to do today I think the goal and Stan Bowman even said this in a conference call it should basically recruit some of those graphics that they gave up for the end you're salty on it and try to get a you know they got a goal tender in return in a defenseman prospect but I think if you put them on a lie detector test or some truth serum okay perfect probably would have loved to get a first round pick out of out of today is that the reality is the market wasn't really to their favorite like six six first round picks removed in the month of February and neither one of those picks removed for rental so the Blackhawks moved to other youth expiring USA then they got a second round pick in the end plus prospects and then a third round pick forgot to send in a little bit underwhelming but you know that's what the market dictated it's interesting you bring that up Charlie because I guess the question at this point that is do you think the hawks waited too long in determining whether or not they were to sell it because obviously they had a little run there you know in the end of the at the end of December and January what it felt like they were getting hot do you think they maybe put too much stock in the fact that they were playing well but you know at the same time they they were still on the outside looking in it when when you're finally you know got around to the trade deadline here yeah it it's a good point and you wonder if the the blackouts could have gotten more for robin Lehner if they had treated him earlier but at the same time went when they come out of that bye week and they come out with a big win against Arizona like if they had it really had quite off type vibes where this team was close to knocking on the door and then you go on that five game western Canada trip and if you take care of business there like you're you're probably gonna be about a playoff spot if you pick up six seven point six or eight points on that trip and and that the fact they only picked up a few things started to spiral then obviously the we saw a lot of trade happened last week where a lot of defenseman got moved in and you wondered if the Blackhawks were gonna pull the trigger on America if it's been deleted get out in front of that but they stayed patient and I don't know if they were trying to package and Eric Gustafson with another asset like a robin letter to try all the packaging of the return and try to get that first round pick that they're covering but unfortunately they weren't able to make it happen Charlie you mentioned letter there and I think a lot of hawks fans are wondering he he will reportedly he was willing to consider a three year deal with the hawks now you know I don't know if we've seen confirmation of that report but it's out there that robin Lehner was willing to potentially talk a three year deal with the hawks do you think that something that was truly in their interest or do you think they just don't want to be locked up long term with robin Lehner due to maybe a quirky history to say the least well I I'm not sure about it because robin Lehner is on record saying that he didn't want to take a discount like you felt like you wanted to be paid market value and and he deserves that what whatever he was asking for he deserves what he wants and if the Blackhawks were gonna offer him he offered what he wanted like he had every right to take it to and and has every right to take it to the summer and get exactly what he's looking for the the fact that if you know the Hawkins did offer a three year deal letter would have been willing to take lasted it do a three year deal I feel like the team would have pulled the trigger on it because I I don't know necessarily if they were looking to try a lot of money and term to to robin letter because that's just not exactly how they operate in it we see all around the NHL now teams are very reluctant to give big contracts to goaltender than in the Florida Panthers are seeing it right now they they find Sir David Gonski two an eight year contract worth ten point five million dollars and he has been performing this season so I think maybe that's also what is scaring off the hawks and wanted to have that type of security with the goaltender another couple minutes where's Charlie Roumeliotis from the Blackhawks insider at NBC sports Chicago the guys they get back for a for a letter is is that yes they need to get some names back or is to Bangor to be their back up for the rest of the season or what you know what's going on yeah I imagine so I read in Markham Sudan will be the Blackhawks is back up you know barring any injuries and I know the Blackhawks do have calling deleon Kevin Lincoln in downtown Rockford who have both been playing really well like Kevin like that had a really good start to the season that now his play has tailed off Collin Delia really struggled at the beginning of the year and now he's been really good so if you have two young goaltenders in Rockford but I imagine now comes through and it's probably gonna be grooms here said to either be the backup going forward at least for the rest of the season and then we'll see beyond this year Charlie do you think a Jonathan Tay's will finish his career with the Blackhawks there's been rumblings are speculation mostly from fans that you know he could be somebody down the line the hawks might consider moving if they they were able to get a hall for him but to me Jonathan tapes just seems like the type of player who gently down the Blackhawks want retiring in a Blackhawks Jersey yes absolutely and I I don't blame Patrick Kane Jonathan three Duncan Keith those core players I don't blame them for being frustrated like they want to win in Chicago but the the problem is if they don't want to go somewhere else to win another ring like their soul that and they have no movement clauses in their contracts read that they want to spend the rest of your career here in Chicago and they want to win the Stanley Cup again in Chicago so I don't see that it man it would be if thirteen is out of date senior retired Black Hawk that it wouldn't feel right if they if they went somewhere else Charlie one last quick one for you what is the biggest need for the hawks this offseason to try and get them back on track and into the playoff conversation next year yes hi it's tough because you kind of want to see how this you know they've been battered by injuries particularly that of the blue line with Calvin Han and Brent Seabrook and then Andrew Shaw you know I would I would sail and it is those guys need to get healthy first and then you want to see how your developments are going with Adam vocalist and Kirby dach but to me ideally like you need you need another top six winger like you need another top six four they have Jonathan Tate and Kirby docking Dylan Strome and and obviously Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat but they don't have really that photo type scoring winger that can help balance out the lines and I'm not saying that the Blackhawks have it all made on their depth on their defensive group because they tell but you look at the reality is they have five guys under contract for at least the next two seasons after that and that's not even including Adam vocalist and potentially Ian Mitchell so I want to say a top four defenseman but it just didn't seem feasible because all the they have all these guys tied up Charlie I know it's been a long day we appreciate jump around for a few minutes no problem guys thanks for having me

Monocle 24: The Briefing
Canada elections: Trudeau wins narrow victory to form minority
"Judo has won a second term as Canada's Prime Minister his Liberal Party will claim the most seats in parliament but they are expected to fall short of an outright majority. Let's have a listen to of what Trudeau had to say in his victory speech in Montreal from coast to Coast to coast tonight Canadians rejected division negatively they rejected cuts and austerity and they voted in favor of progress serve agenda and strong action on climate change I heard you my friends you are sending our liberal team back to work back to Ottawa with a clear mandate we will make life more affordable we will continue to fight climate change we will get guns off our streets and we will keep investing well big words but minority government that was the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaking a short time ago join here in the studio by Daniel Bank One of our Canadian contingent Heritz Midori House Danny what's your reactions that he he sounded pretty strung out but we were talking just before the thanks went live you know he's now looking to features the setting the agenda as he moves forwards was everyone been saying yeah he has to sort of shake off a very visit and bitter campaign quickly and get back to work that was more of a campaign style speech and it's really interesting that Trudeau that was close to do one o'clock in the morning and Montreal is quite late I was listening on the way and this morning he chose to speak at the exact same time as Andrews Cheer was speaking in the prairies Indus Jagmeet Singh was speaking out in British Columbia normally they don't do that normally they come together and say I'm going to speak at this time you'll speak at that time they all spoke at the same time they spoke over each other during the Bates during the debates they spoke over each other early this morning as they sort of rallied the troops again aw projecting this as a huge victory but liberals conservatives and the MVP all lost ground so they're all losers they're all winners innocence where we had that before electoral pollens just tell us a bit about minority government Canadians good at doing that I mean we have a long history of minority governments certainly the world the word coalition I mentioned this on the globalist as well not really used in Canada it was it was floated by Jagmeet Singh Very Progressive Left leaning leader of the D. new Democrats floated during the campaign he immediately had to walk that back and talk about supporting the government Interestingly the new Democrats are directly against the pipeline they they refuse to work for that pipeline the Liberals bought the pipeline in for the energy sector in the West obviously which the conservatives champion so the new Democrats have twenty four seats for the Liberals to get anything through parliament they would need either the new Democrats the block by block of Becua- pardon me the Nationalist Party from Quebec who actually won more seats on last night then the EP so they are the real balance of power here it won't be a coalition in official terms Justin Trudeau we've known him to become quite bullish and even quite pompous I don't see him putting An and EP member into his caucus into his government I don't see that happening so it won't be an official coalition absolutely he'll need their support so it will be a tenuous one the Conservative leader Andrew Scheer saying last night were ready and waiting to defeat the government and we're ready to take over they don't think it's GonNa last long so we shall see what about his deal-making prowess see this has been damaging Trudeau to a degree does he still have the facility to do any kind of deal with any of these other players are the formal or informal it is present me he's still a well he still capable Titian can you get that done I think you'll have to he he won't have choice he the clip we heard off the top there he was talking about making life more affordable tackling climate change and he would absolutely need the new Democrats for those things that's what they campaigned on on you know making healthcare more affordable making living more affordable and and talking about Pharma Cares taking the taking care of that he would absolutely need the MVP I think Jagmeet Singh is guy he can work with very charismatic young guy much like Trudeau champion himself fashioned himself in his first campaign Trudeau will need to maintain sort of his strong leadership approach and Project that behind closed doors heal absolutely need to be the tactful politician and get some help let's see how it gets on with that now we mentioned you're GonNa Browse through some newspapers can I start with my yeah it's it's true though with the witch's brooms and some bats and black cats playing up the Halloween theme that It is a story right leaning newspaper from from Alberta projecting welcome to the nightmare it's so funny actually hearing overnight the some of the coverage from the public broadcaster in Canada them reminding listeners about nineteen eighty when when Pierre Trudeau and Justin's father was completely shut out in the prairies much like Trudeau was last night because of the resentment in Alberta always actually really surprised to hear from even liberal western Canadians how much they've resent inch trudeau he is really disliked. This is a problem the other thing about forming a government is what his father did in nineteen eighty was he had to draft in senators to read percents those providence provinces in his government because he had no MP's the exact same situation now will true draw from the opposition parties to help misgovernment put them in cabinet posts or will he draft in people who weren't even elected or didn't even campaign his father did exactly that he wasn't liked out west the energy sector after the massive question of course international forces international markets have a lot to do with the price of oil and how the energy sector does but there you're huge huge implications for Trudeau and what he does on this pipeline Quebec and the block Becua- don't support it the MVP don't support it but western Canada says we have to get moving on the energy file let's just have a couple of others national post was one of the most beautifully and elegantly designed administered and Jagmeet Singh the leader of the EP declaring I won which is which is partially true at the end ep lost a lot of they did gain a lot of ground during the campaign a Jagmeet Singh did very well for himself and projecting himself as a capable young charismatic leader he will be an interesting one to watch in the House of Commons Holding Trudeau to account And this other comment piece I find quite funny on the front of the National Post PM Makes History with a new low he he moves on from a majority government to lose the popular vote across Canada Canada but and the other comment saying he's pulled off a bit of an election miracle which I think after the last two scandals he he did quite well to pull that in an election

No that scientists have found some dinosaur fossils with primitive profile. There's the problem with fossils is that their impressions in stone is difficult to figure out the actual color and complex structure of the feathers. For example, dinosaurs from China were found, but some kind of fluffy skin covering beside his couldn't tell if it was feathers because the fossils had decompose hambur preservation is another matter. I know amber is fossilized tree resin. It's sometimes found with insects or leaves that were trapped millions of years ago when it hardened you're going to add feathers to your list of trapped items, scientists working in Mississauga rock layers in western Canada, discovered a bonanza of feathers specimens preserved in amber because amber protects.

Those are single fiber feathers or tufts coming from a common base republi us for Thermo regulation, others are specialized bird feathers. Scientists found complex feathers that allow birds to dive underwater and other feathers that can interlock with each other like modern flight feathers, there were both feathery dinosaurs. And birds roaming, the planet at the same time. Yes, it looks like modern feathers evolve long before dinosaurs went extinct, these findings along with other discoveries and new pigment analysis techniques suggests that dinosaurs were probably more feathery than anyone thought this moment of science comes from Indiana University.
