In this episode of the Canadian Investor Podcast, we start by discussing the 50 bps rate cut by the Bank of Canada last week. We go over our key takeaways from the press conference. Simon and Dan also discuss the implications of the BoC rate cut, rising bond yields and pressures on the Canadian dollar.  In the earnings roundup, we examine Rogers Communications, where flat revenues and shrinking ARPUs reflect mounting competition, despite modest wireless growth. With high debt levels from recent acquisitions, Rogers faces challenges managing capital, but solid free cash flow keeps its dividend payout sustainable. We then turn to Newmont and go over why the stock went down 15% after its most recent earnings release. We finish with Canadian National Railway's quarter, with revenue growth driven by long-haul grain exports, though struggles in petroleum, auto shipments, and lumber reflect broader economic headwinds.  Tickers of stocks discussed: UBIL-U.TO, CBIL.TO, CNR.TO, NGT.TO, RCI-B.TO Check out our portfolio by going to Jointci.com Our Website Canadian Investor Podcast Network Twitter: @cdn_investing Simon's twitter: @Fiat_Iceberg Braden's twitter: @BradoCapital Dan's Twitter: @stocktrades_ca Want to learn more about Real Estate Investing?

Jade Blade was the lead vocalist and guitar player for legendary Vancouver  punk band The Dishrags. The band played the first punk show in Vancouver on July 30, 1977. This conversation took place on August 25, 2024. Venues visited: The Japanese Hall on the 400 block of Alexander Street is still the Vancouver Japanese Language School, a cultural centre. The building is from 1928.  It hosted the first punk show in Vancouver and very occasionally hosts a music show. O'Hara's was a bar which hosted punk shows in 1979, at the north end of Main street, past Alexander. It was part of the pier built by the Canadian National Railway in 1931 for their steamships. It was demolished in 1984. Gambado's was an underground art gallery at 55 Powell which had shows in 1979. 310 Water Street housed a warehouse where the Dishrags played in 1978. The Smilin' Buddha Cabaret at 109 East Hastings Street began live as a cabaret in the 1950s. It evolved into Vancouver's iconic punk music venue in the late '70s and early 80s. It was a diy venue under the name SBC from 2013 to 2019, when it re-opened as Buddha's. It was the site of a fire in 2023 and is now closed. The Windmill at 1047 Granville St was a bar which became a punk hangout and venue in 1978/1979. According to Public Enemeny zine, by March 1979 Windmill shut its doors to new wave “due to the destructive tendencies of the patrons.” The Quadra Club at 1055 Homer  later became Club Soda and then the Starfish Room. It was a lesbian bar and had punk and new wave shows. It was demolished in the early 2000s. Bands discussed: The Furies, The Dils, The Avengers, DOA, The Clash, The Ramones, The Subhumans, the K-Tels, Bo Diddley, the Pointed Sticks. All of The Dishrags' music is now available through Supreme Echo.  Four, an album of remastered later material, was released in 2024. Music excerpts used with artist permission: I Don't Love You (Three, Supreme Echo 2014) Tormented (Three, Supreme Echo 2014)

Grains have seen a nice bounce, which is encouraging, but the drier weather could still have a significant impact on yields. As market conditions shift, many are wondering if this might present a selling opportunity.

She also explains how the way we do snow removal might be a little bit sexist.   The other other, Kyle Buott, gives some practical solutions to the city. Did you know there's a way the city could make more revenue *and* get Canadian National Railway to let us use their tracks for light rail?  Two administrative notes: First, in the episode I say that the land lord registry is coming into effect, that's not true, it's been in effect since April 1, 2024.

So, welcome to my podcast episode 110 titled “These ESG Stocks Are A Cut Above.” It's presented by Investing for the Soul. Investingforthesoul.com is your site for vital global ethical and sustainable investing mentoring, news, commentary, information, and resources. And look at my newly totally revised website at investingforthesoul.com! So, remember that you can find a full transcript, and links to content – including stock symbols and bonus material – on this episode's podcast page located at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Also, a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts, nor do I receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. Furthermore, I will reveal to you any personal investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. Additionally, quotes about individual companies are brief. Please go to this podcast's webpage for links to the actual articles for more company and stock information. Also, some companies might be covered more than once and there are also 5 article links below that time didn't allow me to review them here.. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1. These ESG Stocks Are A Cut Above I'm going to start with an article as it provides insight into what ethical and sustainable investors might look for when investing in individual companies that reflect their personal values. Though renewable energy companies rank high on the list there are others from diverse industries that are also found here. Do read the article which is titled These 50 Canadian corporate citizens are a cut above. It's by Rick Spence and found on the corporateknights.com site. Here are some quotes by Mr. Spence. “Since 2002, Corporate Knights' ranking of Canada's Best 50 Corporate Citizens has been tracing public and private companies as well as Crown corporations with more than $1 billion in revenues. Our researchers probe 25 key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess how firms manage their resources, employees and finances in comparison to their peer group, with 50% of each company's score tied to the percentage of their revenue and investments that qualify as sustainable. For the Best 50, that percentage keeps climbing. Tellingly, the 2023 list is dominated by renewable-energy players high in sustainable revenue. Topping the Best 50 this year (up from second place in 2022 and 20th in 2021) is a pure-play clean energy company: Innergex Renewable Energy (INE.TO) The Longueuil, Quebec–based renewable-power producer operates 40 hydroelectric facilities, 35 wind farms, 11 solar farms and one energy-storage facility in Canada, the U.S., France and now Chile… In second place this year (up from third in 2022 and 14th in 2021) is: Brookfield Renewable Partners (BEP) the renewable-energy platform of Brookfield Corporation, the former Brascan empire (which got its start providing electricity in Brazil). With a market cap of $20.2 billion, more than seven times Innergex's $2.7 billion, Brookfield Renewable produces 25,400 megawatts of electricity through hydro, wind and solar facilities in Canada, the U.S., Colombia, Brazil, Europe and Asia. The company's latest annual report says it's also focusing on investing in ‘emerging transition asset classes' such as carbon capture and storage, recycling and biogas, ‘where our initial investment positions us for potential future large-scale decarbonization investment.' In third place is: Hydro-Québec (state-owned corporation) which was the top company in 2022, 2021 and 2018. While the company largely maintained its sustainable revenue from last year, competition is growing fiercer as more renewable-energy companies jump ahead. The ‘most improved' company on the list is: Canadian National Railway (CNI) It climbed from 35th place to seventh this year thanks to a notable increase in investments mainly aimed at rail network safety and integrity, as well as track infrastructure network resiliency and information technology initiatives. These investments totaled $2.5 billion, or 85% of Canadian National Railway's total investments, in 2021. (Now) Edmonton engineering firm Stantec (STN) scored highest on the Best 50 when it came to the percentage of its executives' variable pay linked to sustainability targets. With 26,000 employees and 350 offices on six continents, CEO Gord Johnston says the fast-growing company has been focused on building better communities for more than a decade. Best 50 bring home higher returns Corporate Knights researchers compared the stock performance of the public companies on the 2023 Best 50 versus that of the S&P/TSX Composite Index. Since 2002 (the year we published our first Best 50 list), Best 50 companies have rewarded their shareholders with 128% higher returns than the overall composite index. It's evidence that the ‘triple bottom line' (profit, people and planet) doesn't compromise the single bottom line – but expands it.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2. These ESG Stocks Are A Cut Above My second article picks three big-cap names and is titled 3 ESG Stocks to Buy With Focus Growing on Net-Zero. By Abhinab Dasgupta and seen on finance.yahoo.com. Here are some quotes by Mr. Dasgupta on each of his picks. “These companies broadly pass the ESG standard required to dub them as leaders in the sector, i.e., they regularly set, revisit and report on their ESG targets. [And they] flaunt a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), have lucrative earnings potential, and should be looked into. 1) Salesforce, Inc. (CRM) This company provides customer relationship management technology, has already achieved net-zero residual emissions across its value chain and met its goal of 100% renewable energy in operations. It has targeted the removal of all carbon emissions by 2040 and has innovated a custom-built platform to track its own carbon footprint… The company currently sports a Zacks Rank #1. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its current-year earnings has moved 4.6% north over the past 60 days. The company's expected earnings growth rate for the current year is 42%. 2) NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) This mega-cap semiconductor company, which provides graphics and networking solutions, has reduced emissions by 15% per employee as of 2022 and has set a target to have 65% of its electricity usage come from renewable sources by the end of 2025. It has also made significant strides in the study of climate change by embarking on a project to help predict and mitigate environmental disasters. The company currently sports a Zacks Rank #1. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its current-year earnings has moved 71% north over the past 60 days. The company's expected earnings growth rate for the current year is 129.3%. 3) PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP) This global beverage giant has a set target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, and is working to promote regenerative agricultural practices. It has a target of making all its packaging materials recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable. The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #2.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3. These ESG Stocks Are A Cut Above Now another Canadian article with relevance to our global audience. It's titled 2 Renewable Energy Stocks (With Dividends) That Could Put You in the Green. It's by Jitendra Parashar at fool.ca. Here are some brief quotes by Mr. Parashar. “1) Brookfield Renewable Partners (TSX:BEP.UN) Could arguably be the most attractive renewable energy stocks listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange today. This Hamilton, Bermuda-headquartered renewable power-focused company has a market cap of $11.2 billion. Its stock currently trades at $30.82 with about 13.2% year-to-date gains, outperforming the TSX Composite, which has advanced by 1.8% in 2023 so far. Interestingly, Brookfield Renewable has been posting attractive double-digit positive YoY (year-over-year) growth in its total revenue for the last 11 quarters in a row… As the renewable energy company continues to focus on new acquisitions and growth initiatives to expand its business presence worldwide, you can expect its share prices to soar further in the coming years. In addition, Brookfield Renewable stock offers an attractive 4.7% annual dividend yield. 2) Northland Power (TSX:NPI) is another fundamentally strong Canadian renewable energy stock you may want to consider in 2023. It currently has a market cap of $6.9 billion, as its stock trades at $27.24 per share after losing nearly 26.6% of its value so far in 2023. This Toronto-headquartered firm has a large, well-diversified portfolio of clean power infrastructure assets, primarily in North America, Europe, and Latin America, and has more than three decades of experience working on power projects. Last year, the offshore wind segment accounted for over half of Northland Power's total revenue, while the remaining came from other segments like onshore renewables, efficient natural gas, and utility. The recent correction in Northland Power stock could be attributed to its earnings miss in the first quarter of 2023. Northland Power's sales from the offshore wind segment fell 13% YoY to $346 million last quarter. This YoY decline was mainly because the unusually high market prices it benefited from in the first quarter of 2022, particularly from its Gemini and Spanish projects, didn't happen again in the first quarter of 2023. That said, you can expect its YoY financial growth trend to improve in the coming years as the market prices gradually stabilize, which should help its share prices recover sharply. Besides the expected recovery, a decent annual dividend yield of 4.4% makes this renewable energy stock really attractive to buy on the dip.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4. These ESG Stocks Are A Cut Above And I'll end with this article titled 3 ESG Stocks in Focus for the Socially Responsible Investor. It's by Tirthankar Chakraborty and published on zacks.com. Now here's some of what Mr. Chakraborty says about his recommendations. “1) Pool Corporation (POOL Quick Quote POOL - Free Report) This company is one of the biggest distributors of swimming pool equipment. Pool Corporation aims at waste reduction and provides effective energy solutions to lessen its environmental footprint. Pool Corporation not only donates through the National Forest Foundation but also participates in the Environmental Protection Agency's Water Sense program. POOL provides customers ample guidance to handle wastewater sensibly… The company's expected earnings growth rate for the next year is 5.9%. Its shares have already gained 32.7% over the past five-year period. Pool Corporation has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). 2) Salesforce, Inc. (CRM Quick Quote CRM - Free Report) The company is one of the primary providers of customer relationship management software that helps manage cumbersome operations. Salesforce achieved 100% renewable energy from its operations. The company aims at purchasing renewable energy to increase access to clean power, especially in emerging economies. It also aims at net-zero carbon emissions and has established equal pay initiatives… The company's expected earnings growth rate for the current year is 42%. Its shares have already gained 28.1% over the past five-year period. Salesforce sports a Zacks Rank #1. 3) Microsoft Corp (MSFT Quick Quote MSFT - Free Report) … has become a solid ESG stock. This tech behemoth and one of the leaders in cloud computing is also known as a leader in energy conservation. Microsoft, along with Volt Energy, is aiming at achieving 100% renewable energy by 2025. And by 2050, the company aims at getting rid of all carbon emissions… The company's expected earnings growth rate for the current year is 4.7%. Microsoft shares have already gained 22.3% over the past five-year period. Microsoft currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Shares of Pool Corporation, Salesforce and Microsoft, by the way, have gained 22.8%, 61.3%, and 41%, respectively, so far this year.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Other Honorable Mentions 1) Title: 3 Stocks to Buy for The Continued Growth of Solar Energy on zacks.com.

Additionally, quotes about individual companies are brief so that I can get as many companies covered as possible in the time allowed. Please go to this podcast's webpage for links to the actual articles for more company and stock information. Links to an additional 3 articles are included below. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Great Green Energy Stock Picks Now the first two articles are from Canada, but they detail opportunities relevant to a global audience. The first article is titled How Green Energy Players Are Making Big Waves in the Stock Market, by Christopher Liew, on fool.ca. Here's some of what Mr. Liew has to say about his three picks. “1. Ballard Power Systems (TSX:BLDP) Market analysts recommend a hold rating. Their 12-month average price target is $22.91, or a 293% return potential. Ballard's competitive advantages include experience in manufacturing fuel cell products (40 years), top-tier long-term customers, and strategic shareholders… The latest product and potential growth driver is next-generation, thin, flexible graphite bipolar plates. Ballard plans to invest around $18 million in manufacturing the plates this year through 2025. 2. Nano One Materials Corp. (TSX:NANO) Nano One outperforms the TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange) year to date (+18.85% versus +1.11%). Market analysts recommend a buy rating, with an average price target of $6.50 (+124%) in 12 months. This $302 million company's contribution to the fight against climate change is the production of high-performance lithium-ion battery cathode materials. According to management, the company's technology applies to electric vehicles, energy storage, and consumer electronics. Besides reducing costs, the low-carbon intensity improves environmental impact. Nano One owns Canada's only LFP (lithium ferrous phosphate) battery production facility. 3. Exro Technologies (OTC:EXRO.F) Exro Technologies develops new-generation power electronics that expand the capabilities of electric motors and batteries… The significant upside will come from continued focus on innovation in e-transition and energy storage market verticals. The addressable markets for its lead products, Coil Driver (motor controllers) and Cell Driver (energy storage), should reach US$133 billion and US$224 billion by 2030, respectively… Market analysts recommend a strong buy rating, forecasting 55% price appreciation in one year.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Great Green Energy Stock Picks Now, the second article is titled 2 Canadian ESG Stocks for Ethical Investors, by Adam Othman on fool.ca. Among Mr. Othman's comments on his two picks are these. “1. Canadian National Railway (TSX:CNR) might not seem like an ESG stock… However, this Canadian Dividend Aristocrat can be an excellent investment for this purpose. The $105.92 billion market capitalization company headquartered in Montreal is vital to the North American economy. Boasting the only 18,600-mile railway network connecting three coasts in North America… It generates solid financial results. In 2022, it increased its revenue by 18.2% and net income by 4.5%, increasing its free cash flow by 29.2% compared to the previous year…. Sustainalytics gives Canadian National Railway stock a low ESG risk rating due to its Climate Action Plan aligning with international ESG standards. 2. Innergex Renewable Energy (TSX:INE) The $2.73 billion market capitalization company develops, owns, and operates run-of-river hydroelectric facilities. It also has a substantial number of wind and solar energy farms located in North and South America and France. …Operating as an electricity utility company, it has a low-risk business model. 2022 saw Innergex reduce its net loss from $185.4 million in 2021 to $91.1 million. Its free cash flows rose by almost 60% year over year… As of this writing, Innergex Renewable stock trades for $13.39 per share, down by 34.55% from its 52-week high. Currently, it pays its shareholders their payouts at a juicy 5.38% dividend yield.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Great Green Energy Stock Picks And now to a company that's often overlooked according to this Zacks analyst. The article is titled Why This Under-the-Radar Renewable Energy Stock is a 'Strong Buy'. It's by Benjamin Rains and found on zacks.com. Here's some of what Mr. Rains says about Arcosa, Inc. “Arcosa, Inc. (ACA - Free Report) provides infrastructure-related products and solutions across construction, engineered structures, and transportation markets. Arcosa is benefitting from megatrends such as aging infrastructure, as well as the ‘continued shift to renewable power generation, and the expansion of new transmission, distribution, and telecommunications infrastructure…' Arcosa crushed Zacks Q1 earnings estimate in late April and provided hugely upbeat guidance. Arcosa's fiscal 2023 consensus estimate has surged by 44% since its report, with FY24's figure 38% higher. Arcosa's bottom-line positivity helps it grab a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy)… Arcosa's engineered structures division includes utility structures, telecom structures, wind towers, and beyond. Arcosa's wind tower business is booming… since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act… The gusts at Arcosa's back include grid-hardening, electrification of vehicles, connecting renewable energy to the grid, the wireless 5G telecom buildout, and more… Other Fundamentals Zacks estimates call for Arcosa's adjusted 2023 earnings to surge by 27% and then jump another 18% higher in 2024 to reach $3.26 per share… Overall, Arcosa appears to be a somewhat under-the-radar and strong way to gain exposure to multiple long-term trends in the U.S. and global economy. And its recent slip sets up a better entry point.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Great Green Energy Stock Picks Next is this article, also applicable to a global audience. It's titled 5 Top UK Sustainable Investment Trusts To Consider In H2 2023. It's by Gaurav Sharma and seen on forbes.com. Here are some quotes. “Typically listed on UK and Japanese markets, investment trusts are public-listed pooled investment vehicles that generate income by investing in stocks of other companies, bonds (both corporate and government issued), real estate, infrastructure and privately held enterprises, etc.… Based on current dividend yields*, NAV discounts** and exchange rates***, for me the following five UK-listed sustainable investment trusts stand out: 1. Triple Point Energy Transition Plc (LON: TENT) Dividend Yield: 8.27% Listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange, Triple Point Energy Transition Plc invests in UK and European renewable energy projects touting its credentials as a stable dividend-paying trust that aims to enable a pan-European transition to a low carbon economy. Furthermore, its 7-8% average dividend yield not only ranks it among the highest in its category but also puts it on the list of the 20-highest dividend-yields among all UK-listed investment trusts. 2. NextEnergy Solar Fund (LON: NESF) Dividend Yield: 7.52% NextEnergy Solar Fund is listed on the London Stock Exchange's main market and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 index. As the name suggests, it invests in a diversified portfolio of solar energy and energy storage infrastructure assets. Most of its long-term cashflows are inflation-linked via UK government subsidies, and it offers an attractive dividend yield. 3. Renewables Infrastructure Group (LON: TRIG) Dividend Yield: 5.97% Renewables Infrastructure Group has been listed on the London Stock Exchange for over a decade and is also a constituent of the FTSE 250 index. The company focuses on onshore and offshore wind farms and solar parks in the UK and Europe. 4. Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust (LON: ORIT) Dividend Yield: 5.52% With its management trail leading to one of Europe's largest renewable energy investors – Octopus Energy – the Octopus Renewable Energy Infrastructure Trust aims to provide both capital appreciation as well as sustainable dividends by building and operating a diversified portfolio of renewable energy assets in Europe and Australia. 5. Greencoat UK Wind Plc (LON: UKW) Dividend Yield: 5.51% Greencoat UK Wind has the honor of being the first UK renewable infrastructure fund to list on the London Stock Exchange. It is also a constituent of the FTSE 250 index and is focused on UK wind power generation.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 20 Biggest Infrastructure Companies in the US Now, the US economy is currently being lifted by two massive spending bills related to infrastructure. Many ethical and sustainable investors see infrastructure companies as having a place in their portfolios. So, this article might be of interest to many of you. It's titled 20 Biggest Infrastructure Companies in the US. It's by Ty Haqqi and is seen on finance.yahoo.com. Only the public companies and non-fossil-fuel related are included here... and quotes about these companies are limited. “14. Crown Castle Inc. (NYSE:CCI) Total revenue (in billions): $58.1 Crown Castle provides shared communications infrastructure in the U.S. including small cells, cell towers and fiber, and counts itself among the largest U.S. infrastructure companies. 13. Fluor Corporation (NYSE:FLR) Total revenue (in billions): $13.8 Fluor Corporation is one of the biggest engineering companies in Texas… The share price of Fluor Corporation has stayed the same over the last one year with its gains being wiped out over the last few months. 12. Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE:NSC) Total revenue (in billions): $12.7 Norfolk Southern Corporation is one the biggest railroad companies in the U.S., not to mention among the largest infrastructure companies in the U.S. Norfolk Southern Corporation has been in the news the past few months for a massive derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, which resulted in the release of tons of toxic chemicals, and has recently been sued by the Department of Justice for the same. 11. American Tower Corporation (NYSE:AMT) Total revenue (in billions): $10.7 American Tower Corporation owns and operates wireless and broadcast communications infrastructure not just in the U.S. but in several other countries as well. 6. CSX Corporation (NASDAQ:CSX) Total revenue (in billions): $14.9 CSX Corporation is engaged in the business of real estate and rail transportation, and is headquartered in Florida. CSX Corporation's ROE has exceeded the industry average in the past though part of that is because of the company's high debt portfolio. 3. Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE:UNP) Total revenue (in billions): $24.9 Union Pacific Corporation is the largest railroad company in the country, and one of the largest infrastructure companies in the U.S., and has provided a return of 61% to its investors in the last 5 years. 2. AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) Total revenue (in billions): $120.7 AT&T Inc. is one of the biggest telecom and mobile telephone services company not just in the U.S., but also the world. Recently, AT&T Inc. raised over $4.2 billion in an attempt to buy out wireless minorities. 1. Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) Total revenue (in billions): $121.4 Comcast Corporation is among the most valuable telecom companies in the world and its stock is favored by institutional owners who own around 85% of the company's stock.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Two Other Honorable Mentions 1.

Allan Fleming (1929 – 1977) was a Canadian graphic designer best known for having created the Canadian National Railway logo, for designing the 1967 book Canada: A Year of the Land and for "revolutionizing" the look of scholarly publishing in North America in the 1970s with his work at University of Toronto Press.   In 1953 Allan moved to England to work as a graphic designer, and to learn about the practice from eminent English designers and design historians such as Stanley Morison, Oliver Simon, Herbert Simon, and Beatrice Warde. In 1955 he returned to Toronto where he pulled down a job as director of creative services at the typographic firm Cooper and Beatty Ltd. In 1962 he was appointed art director at Maclean's magazine. From 1963 to 1968 he was director of creative services at MacLaren Advertising and from 1968 to1976 he was chief book designer at the University of Toronto Press.     Throughout his career, Allan designed or consulted on the creation of many iconic Canadian images for clients including Canada Post, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the Liberal Party of Canada, the Hudson Bay Company, Ontario Hydro, and the Canada Council.   His daughter Martha Fleming,  a museum professional and academic, wrote and edited two issues of The Devil's Artisan in 2008 which were devoted to Allan. We met via Zoom to discuss them and the many achievements of this extraordinary Canadian.

Worauf ich in meinem Langfristportfolio für die 20er-Jahre schon seit Jahren baue sind Unternehmen, die von Infrastrukturinvestitionen profitieren. Die Kassen der meisten Staaten waren zwar schon vor Ausbruch der Pandemie leer. Länder wie Deutschland oder die USA ist es aber durchaus bewusst, dass Straßen, Stromleitungen, die Wasserversorgung, Krankenhäuser und Telekommunikationsnetze im Argen liegen und jetzt massiv investiert werden muss. Es gibt Billionen schwere Infrastrukturprojekte jenseits und diesseits des Atlantiks. Das von US-Präsident Joe Biden angekündigte 3,5 Billionen US-Dollar schweres Klimaschutz- und Sozialpaket ist zwar vorerst auf eine Infrastrukturinitiative von rund 550 Milliarden-US-Dollar zusammengeschrumpft. Mit bereits veranschlagten Projekten will man trotz allem über eine Billionen Dollar in die US-Infrastruktur stecken. Aus Brüssel fließen im Rahmen des „Next Generation EU“-Programms 750 Milliarden Euro in die Infrastruktur und ich bin mit einem Infrastruktur-ETF dabei. Mein Denkfehler beim ETF-Kauf vor ein paar Jahren war nur, dass ich Infrastruktur ausschließlich mit der Verkehrsinfrastruktur und den großen Baufirmen gleich gesetzt habe, die tatsächlich auch gut an den staatlichen Aufträgen verdienen. Viel öffentliches Geld fließt jetzt aber auch in die E-Mobilität, in die medizinische Infrastruktur, in Robotics & Automatisation oder auch in die 5-G-Technologie. Selbst Metalle profitieren von den großen Infrastruktur-Investitionen. Für Wasserleitungen wird in den USA viel Kupfer gebraucht, die die Bleirohre ersetzen sollen. Analysten gehen von einem jährlichen Verbrauch an raffiniertem Kupfer in den USA von ca. 1,8 Mio. Tonnen pro Jahr aus. Durch das Biden-Konjunkturpaket werden rund 500.000 Tonnen Kupfer zusätzlich benötigt. Und Nickel ist wiederum Hauptbestandteil von Elektrobatterien. Alles Dinge, die mein traditioneller Infrastruktur-ETF, der ishares Global Infrastructure UCITS ETF nicht abdeckt. Hier sind die größten Positionen Energieunternehmen wie der US-Versorger NextEra Energy, Eisenbahnunternehmen wie Union Pacific Corporation oder Canadian National Railway sowie Immobilien-Kapitalgesellschaften wie American Tower Reit Corporation. Alles in Ordnung, über eine Jahresperformance von 9,5 Prozent in den letzten fünf Jahren kann man sich nicht beklagen. Nur, Infrastrukturausgaben sind in den nächsten Jahren vor allem Klimaschutzinvestitionen, wofür eine klassischer Infrastrukturfonds nicht unbedingt das zielführende Investmentvehikel ist. Da macht es Sinn künftiges Vermögen vermehrt in nachhaltige Fonds und ETFs zu investieren. Als hippe Infrastruktur-Alternative werden gerne ETFs auf den MSCI Smart Cities ESG angeboten. Der Index umfasst nachhaltige Unternehmen, die sich mit dem Städtebau der Zukunft beschäftigen. Die zehn größten Positionen sind mir allerdings unbekannt und blindlings würde ich persönlich nirgends investieren. Da ist noch jede Menge Recherche notwendig ...

Carl Quintanilla and Mike Santoli led of the show with market reaction to government retail sales data for August showing a surprise gain of 0.7%, despite the COVID-19 Delta variant outbreak. They also discussed two Wall Street notes on Delta and the consumer: Bank of America says a pickup in consumer spending could be an "early sign that the Delta-lull is passing and a mini-reopening cycle starting," while J.P. Morgan says several indicators "are pointing to an inflection in the Delta variant, setting up for a powerful holiday season (unlike last year)." At the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Morgan Brennan recapped the historic "Inspiration4" all-civilian flight to orbit launched by Elon Musk's SpaceX -- and looked at how space-related stocks such as Virgin Galactic are reacting to the mission. Morgan also interviewed Canadian Pacific CEO Keith Creel and Kansas City Southern CEO Patrick Ottensmeyer after both railroad operators agreed to merge in a $27-billion deal, bringing an end to a long, drawn-out bidding war for KCS between CP and Canadian National Railway. Also in focus: Cathie Wood's Ark funds reportedly sold more shares of Tesla – this time 81,600 valued at about $62-million, Cisco rises on a growth forecast and upgrades (Carl and Mike react to what the company's CEO Chuck Robbins told CNBC), why shares of American Express, Chipotle and DoorDash saw gains in early trading, the Fed to re-examine ethics rules surrounding stock trading by Fed officials, and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) calls for a ban on Fed officials owning and trading individual stocks.

Jim Cramer and David Faber led off the show by highlighting one of the day's biggest gainers: AMC Entertainment posting better-than-expected quarterly results as moviegoers returned to its theaters. The company also announcing plans to accept payments in bitcoin by the end of the year, plus a deal with Warner Bros. to show the studio's 2022 movie slate in theaters for 45 days. Jim and David discussed those issues and more in a wide-ranging interview with AMC Entertainment Chairman & CEO Adam Aron, who also weighed in on his company's valuation in wake of the meme stock frenzy: Shares of AMC up more than 1500-percent this year alone. The anchors also explored new developments in a railroad bidding war: Canadian Pacific confirming a new takeover offer for Kansas City Southern -- a cash and stock bid valued at $300 per share or $27-billion excluding debt that CP believes to be "superior" to the merger deal Canadian National Railway struck with KCS earlier this year. CN responded by calling the new CP offer "inferior".

Kathryn has been involved in the fitness industry for the past 30 years. Kathryn began her career in Workplace Health and Wellness with Canadian National Railway, she has served on the Board of Directors for the Manitoba Runner's Association, she's a founding member of the Winnipeg Workplace Wellness Alliance and she currently donates to the Joy Smith Foundation annually through an International Women's Day event. She has competed in the Manitoba Bodybuilding Championships in the past, completed 3 full marathons, managed the Urban Wellness Centre in Cityplace for years and was awarded Fitness Leader of the Year with the Manitoba Fitness Council as well. In January of 2017, Kathryn's dream of opening her own fitness studio became a reality. Blue Sky Fitness and Health Coaching Studio opened it's doors in January of 2017. Of course, in March of 2020 everything changed and during Covid, she has worked SO hard to continually adapt and adjust by moving online and continuing to create community. I visited with Kathryn over Zoom in March of 2021, and when you listen – you'll hear that her life's journey goes far beyond sport. Kathryn Dzikowicz, is more than a physical trainer to her clients, she is a friend, a colleague, and someone who truly cares about the wellness of all those around her. That truly makes her a “hero in our midst”. What a story of perseverance, strength and putting the care of others first – in every area of her life. We hope you enjoy her story.

Today's Episode of the Diverging Clear Podcast will be discussing the drama that has erupted surrounding the proposed the merger of the Canadian Pacific Railroad and the Kansas City Southern. Shortly after the CP announced plans to acquire the KCS for $29 billion (US) the Canadian National Railway put up a counterproposal for $33 billion (US) to acquire the KCS. And from there the proposed merger began to take on the appearance of Soap Opera or a reality TV program.

Canadian National Railway appears to be the front-runner to acquire Kansas City Southern Railroad after the KCS board of directors said CN has presented a “superior proposal” to an earlier offer from Canadian Pacific to purchase the U.S.-based railway. The CN proposal totals $33.6 billion and includes assumption of nearly $3.8 billion in KCS debt. Canadian National also is offering to pay a $700 million breakup fee for which KCS would be liable for terminating its March 24 deal with Canadian Pacific. Canadian Pacific's agreement was worth nearly $29 billion, including debt. Kansas City Southern's board said it will break the deal with CP and enter into a new agreement with CN, but CP still has a few days to respond. Canadian Pacific has long insisted that its offer — even at a lower price — is superior since it stands a better chance of winning approval from regulators in Canada and Mexico, as well as the U.S. Surface Transportation Board.

MOHAWK BLOCKADE OF CANADIAN RAIL LINE Mohawk activists in southern Ontario, Canada, blockaded a major rail-line over the weekend as part of a land reclamation effort directed at the Canadian government. Stefan Christoff reports from Montreal. Throughout Friday and Saturday, members of the Tyendinaga Mohawk community blockaded a major Canadian National Railway line; paralyzing all railway traffic between Montreal and Toronto. The action sparked a national debate on the issue of indigenous land claims. Just over 1 month ago, the Mohawks community of the Bay of Quinte in southern Ontario reclaimed a portion of the Culbertson land tract, a 925 acre piece of territory, which Canadian authorities took from Mohawk Territory in 1832. Official documents from Canadian governmental authorities point to the Mohawks's legal ownership of the land, which lead to a position of non-intervention against the major rail-line blockade. Shawn Brant is a spokesperson for the Tyendinaga Mohawk protesters. (audio) “The shut-down of the main was our first hit, it was considered our soft hit. It was done as a kick-off a campaign of economic disruption targeting the federal government, provincial government and the local municipal government of the town.” Tyendinaga Mohawks have announced plans to protest the ongoing work of a privately owned gravel quarry inside of their territory which removes 100,000 tonnes of land each year. They say their actions will continue until all digging work has stopped. This is Stefan Christoff reporting for Free Speech Radio News in Montreal. /// listen to reports produced for Free Speech Radio News between 2002 - 2012, the flagship Pacifica radio daily news program, these reports were produced in Montreal, but also in Beirut, Lebanon. putting these reports up for archiving purposes, they address numerous grassroots struggles for justice and against oppression, particularly looking at struggles surrounding migrant justice, also indigenous movements for land and rights, while also struggles against colonialist wars today & the persisting impacts of wars past. thank you for listening ! stefan @spirodon

Diva Tech Talk interviewed Dr. Rita Barrios, Chair for the Department of CyberSecurity and Information Systems, and Associate Professor, at the University of Detroit, Mercy (http://www.udmercy.edu/) graduating approximately 150 trained technology professionals each year. Rita said: “My Dad was always my biggest supporter.” The 7th child of 8 siblings in her “very strict” family, Rita admitted that she was “a little on the geeky side” in her high school years.  She entered the Detroit College of Business, specializing in accounting, but dropped it in favor of a technology major. She got married, and gave birth to a daughter during her senior year of college.   Rita’s several internships during that senior year (when her daughter was 6 months old) were at the Grand Trunk Western Railroad (gtw.railfan.net/), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Canadian National Railway (https://www.cn.ca/).  After graduation, she became a full-time employee as a junior programmer.   Grand Trunk’s IT department was eventually bought by Compuware (www.compuware.com).  Rita was promoted from junior programmer to project manager (“a huge leap”).  Her first large challenge was a two-year international EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) project among three cross-border entities, automating the manifest for U.S. Customs to enable trains to cross borders without stopping. She credited her immediate management for empowering this next career phase. “Anything we needed, they made sure we had.”  The secret to the success of that project was digging into the details rather than becoming overwhelmed by the totality of the undertaking. “I took it a bite (byte) at a time!” Rita’s next step was as a Compuware contractor to Ford Credit (https://www.ford.com/finance) to maintain their legacy information systems, going from programmer to senior DBA.  Rita also obtained her Masters of Science in Information Systems, Software Assurance at the University of Detroit, Mercy; then later completed her PhD in information science, with a focus on security assurance and cybersecurity at Nova Southeastern University (http://www.nova.edu/).  “An opportunity came where I could move to academia,” Rita said.  “ That’s how I landed at Detroit, Mercy.” Additionally, she received certifications from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg University, School of Public Health in data specialization, and a certificate in criminal justice and law enforcement from the FBI Detroit Citizens Academy. A single mom for 14 years, Rita is justifiably proud of her two children. “I have a daughter, now working on her PhD in Material Engineering. And I have a son, going into digital media and graphics arts.”   Rita is also excited about her own cybersecurity field. “We teach is how to do investigations, how to do digital forensics/hacking. We partner with the Criminal Justice Program because you cannot have a crime without some digital piece to it, these days, and look at it from the criminal point of view. We also partner with the law school, talking about cyberlaw. “ Rita’s specialty has spun off into a side business. She runs an IT training and education consultancy, RitaBarr LLC (www.ritabarr.com) specializing in corporate IT training, and also partners with Mackinac Investigators on digital forensics investigations.   “At some point, I would like to grow the business.”  Ever-ambitious, Rita is also looking forward to moving to the “business side” of academia, at some point.   Along the way, Rita said that “I have always been the only female in the room.” As an example, “I presented research at the Department of Defense to a bunch of military people, who were all guys. Coming up through IT, I was the only female, but I have never felt like the only female. I was never discriminated against.”  This feeling changed though “when I went to the University.”  There she experienced “over-talking, interruption, all of it. I have been told by my colleagues that I better ‘know my place, young lady, ’ ” she lamented.  Rita recommended her approach to deal with this negative phenomenon. “I am very professional. I go into a very robotic mode, very stoic. I lay out the facts with no emotion. I plan to say.“ Rita’s focused leadership lessons/advice currently include: “Spend time to get to know people. Find out their strengths, and where they belong.” “Bring the best people around you; then get out of their way.” “If you think about it --- that the project’s too big --- you will not achieve what you want to achieve. So, whatever comes, just take it in.” “Stay flexible. There is nothing you can’t overcome; nothing is impossible.” And summing up: “There are no shortcuts.”  For Rita, success is always about hard work.

Ode to Grizzly 148 This has been a heartbreaking week as bear 148, the beloved daughter of Banff's most famous bear 66, was translocated far away from her home territory of Banff and Canmore all the way north to Kakwa Provincial Park, located to the west of Grand Cache. It was a difficult decision for officials with Alberta Environment and Parks, but 148 was getting increasingly closer to people and in the end they felt that the risk of an escalation in behaviour left them with few options other than to move her out of the area. This is the second time she has been moved. Earlier in July she was captured and returned to an area west of the Town of Banff but she returned to Canmore to feed on buffaloberries. In past episodes, I've talked at length about the importance of buffaloberries to bears and how they will always be attracted to low elevation valleys in order to take advantage of these critical calories. One message that doesn't seem to be getting out is that the bears have little choice but to be in communities like Canmore and Banff at this time of year. Buffaloberries need sunlight to grow. Sunlight requires openings in the forest canopy, and this is provided by developers cutting down trees, urban parks, trails and roads…all things that are prevalent in townsites. Essentially, townsites create great conditions for buffaloberry to thrive, even more so than the undeveloped areas between Canmore and Banff where openings are created more sparingly by falling trees or old fires. When you put it all together, there will likely be more berries in Canmore than there will be in an undeveloped forest area. Powerline right of ways become habitat patches for a few months of the year. Every new trail we build allows sunlight to percolate down to the forest floor and creates good conditions for buffaloberries to grow. The story of buffaloberries is about much more than corridors. Wildlife movement corridors are about allowing animals connectivity with adjacent patches of good habitat. Animals will often use the corridors to simply traverse between places like Banff and Kananaskis, through Canmore. However at this time of year, corridors become habitat patches as the openings create buffaloberry buffets. Bears are attracted from many miles to take advantage of these critical foods. It's for this reason that the story of 148 is particularly poignant. She was the canary in the coal mine. If we couldn't create a situation where she could take advantage of the berry crop, then what is the hope for the other 7 or 8 bears currently feeding in the valley? Closures are an important strategy at this time of year, but a closure that is ignored is no closure. If people violating closures get injured by bears, it's always the bears that pay the ultimate price. We need to think beyond 148. Her chances of survival are very slim, but how many other bears do we need to lose in a similar fashion. If we don't create a workable solution then so much of our current battles for corridors will be for nothing. Alberta Parks simply doesn't have the resources to constantly patrol the many entrance and exit points on some of these closures - and neither does Parks Canada. I was impressed to hear about Canmore Bylaw Officers charging people trying to shortcut between the Peaks of Grassi and Quarry Lake over the weekend as well. Maybe it's time for a new approach. I know from my posts on the Bow Valley Community Connection Facebook page that we have a very engaged local population. Maybe we need to set up volunteer systems where people are trained in bear safety and ecology who simply wait at key entry points to try to encourage people to obey the closures. This could NOT be a vigilante force. It would a group of educators, helping people to understand the importance of the closures and how important it is that the bears are allowed to feed unimpeded during the brief berry season. This would help keep both people and bears safe. The volunteers could coordinate with the various enforcement agencies, but their role would simply be one of awareness. Recent studies on wildlife corridors showed astounding use by people and dogs, both on and off leash. The study showed that in the designated wildlife corridors around Canmore, people accounted for 94% of traffic. Of that, 56% of the incidents included people with dogs - and 60% of the dogs were off leash! We need to have a visible presence during closures and maybe a Friends of Wildlife patrol could work similarly to the Wildlife Guardians in the national park that patrol bear jams and try to educate visitors on safe ways to view wildlife responsibly. They also set up stations at popular viewpoints with the sole purpose of providing education and outreach. Our wildlife patrol could fulfil a similar role, educating and informing, while also adding additional sets of eyes to help enforcement officials when the need arises. Next up. Walter Moberly's western surveys The Canadian Pacific Railway Part 2 - Walter Moberly I can't tell the story of the building of the Railway without mentioning Walter Moberly. He was a pivotal personality in the history of British Columbia and a huge proponent of a transcontinental railway. Born in Oxfordshire, England in 1832, his family moved to Upper Canada when he was just 2 years old. As he grew into a man, he became a logger and worked several timber holdings in the Muskoka area before he headed west to British Columbia. He began to do some survey work for the community of New Westminster, and between 1961 and 64 he worked on a number of road building projects. He helped Edgar Dewdney build the Dewdney trail from Hope to the Okanagan. He also built a section of the road to the Caribou gold fields. This experience led him to be named the Assistant Surveyor General of British Columbia in 1865, and he was assigned to search for new travel routes through the mountains landscape of the province. It was this year that Moberly made his most important discovery - Eagle Pass which enabled him to travel through the Gold Range from Shuswap Lake in the Okanagan to join the Columbia River at Revelstoke. As Moberly told the story of the discovery, he shot an arrow at an eagle nest and watched the eagle as it flew up the valley. Since the birds were unlikely to fly up a valley blocked by mountains, he decided to follow them and discovered Eagle Pass. At this time, there was NO talk about a transcontinental railway, but Moberly always believed that it as an unavoidable eventuality. He claimed to have blazed a tree and carved "This is the Pass of the Overland Railway". Eventually, some 20 years later, the railroad would follow this portion of his imagined route. It didn't take Moberly long to hear about the agreement to build the railway in 1972 and so he set about to position himself as just the man to get the job done. By coincidence, as a child, he had gone to school with a girl named Susan Agnes Bernard. She was now the wife of Prime Minister John A Macdonald, and so he managed to talk his way into a dinner invitation with them at their home in Ottawa. Never a shy man, Moberly told Macdonald that he knew exactly where the train should go and that he was the man to do it. In fact he could begin construction within 6 weeks of his return to British Columbia. The boast came with a caveat: "I don't know how many millions you have, but it is going to cost you money to get through those canyons" Moberly had an ego bigger than the mountains and there was only one possible route - his route! He returned to B.C. as District Engineer in charge of the region between Shuswap Lake and the foothills of the Rockies. Moberly was as tough as nails and one of the best axemen in the country, but it would take more than muscles and axes to crack the mountain barrier. Between Shuswap Lake and the foothills sat the impenetrable Selkirk Mountains. Even the Columbia River couldn't penetrate these ramparts. It's forced to flow north for 200 hundred kilometres to go around the northern extent of the Selkirks before turning south towards the U.S. If the mightiest river on the Pacific couldn't crack the mountain rampart, than how could the railway? In fact, Moberly had this all figured out as well. He planned on going around the Selkirks by crossing an old fur trader route over Howse Pass. This would take it through Eagle Pass, around the Selkirks to the north and enter Alberta to the west of the current day Saskatchewan River Crossing and David Thompson Highway. Moberly spent the next 8 months exploring the territory of his proposed line. He also explored the Selkirks to see if there was any possible pass through. After being almost buried by an avalanche, he spent New Year's day of 1872 all alone in a trappers cabin. He wrote in his diary: "I think it...one of the most wretched and dreary places I ever saw...this was the most wretched New Year's Day I ever spent." but as for the Selkirks he continued "I found there was not any practicable pass through the Selkirk Range." He reported his finding to the Chief Surveyor Sandford Fleming. Now did I mention that he had an ego? The thought that Fleming would not agree with his routing never crossed his mind and so he decided to start the work of surveying the Howse Pass right away. After all, better to apologize than ask permission…right? Fleming did agree to a quick trial line through the pass, but Moberly planned for a detailed location survey. He instantly took Fleming's approval to mean that his route was confirmed. As he put it, he read the telegram: "which led me to infer that the line I had taken so many years to explore and discover, and which I was quite confident would be the best to adopt for the proposed transcontinental railroad, would be adopted" After hiring men, hiring pack trains and buying thousands of dollars on supplies, much of which had already been dispatched to places like Eagle Pass, he received a telegram from Fleming telling him that the Yellowhead Pass to the west of Jasper had been chosen instead of Howse Pass. The telegram arrived just 4 hours before his party headed into the wilderness. He was ordered to head north through the Athabasca Pass and to conduct a survey of the Yellowhead Pass, which is the route the Canadian National Railway takes today. Moberly was crushed and actually tried to buy his way out of his contracts, but alas, it was too late. Moberly met with Fleming in the Yellowhead and Fleming was extremely displeased with his excessive spending. Moberly thought Fleming unpatriotic for not using his route. Clearly these two men were not going to get along. Before long, Fleming sent a message taking control of the survey away from Moberly and giving it to someone else. Moberly simply ignored the message and continued working. As he put it: "the instructions conveyed in the letter were too childish to be followed" He would obey orders: "when I could see they were sensible but not otherwise...I went on the survey for business, not to be made a fool of" When Marcus Smith was officially placed in charge of the British Columbia surveys, Moberly left the service. Ironically, some 20 years later, the last spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway would be hammered in Eagle Pass, right where he predicted so many years ago. One of the great things about much of our western history is that the first-hand journals of many explorers have survived to help keep their stories alive. But we also have to keep in mind that many of these journals were written for their boss. They weren't going to enter: "I saw a grizzly bear and wet my pants". Instead they'll say: "I saw a grizzly and I dropped it from 200 yards with one shot from my Henry rifle". However occasionally we find a journal that was written for more personal reasons. Such is the case of Robert M. Rylatt. Rylatt was one of the surveyors that Moberly had dispatched to Howse Pass. He had a sickly wife and felt that the money from the survey work would help get her the level of care that she needed. His journal was written for his mother and he constantly states that if he ever thought it would be published, he would drop his pen immediately. Rylatt was in charge of the pack trains on the expedition. He signed up for a one year contract, but there was an option to extend it to 2 years - at the railroad's discretion. When he left home in July of 1871, little did he know that he would not return home until June of 1873. Once dispatched, there really was no way to quit. The wilderness was too remote for a lone individual to walk out without the support of the pack trains. Along with Rylatt, Engineer E.C. Gillette was in charge and the party also included 4 surveyors, sixteen axemen, 8 native and Mexican packers and a hunter. Every day Rylatt had to supervise the loading and unloading of 45 pack animals carrying almost 7 tonnes of supplies. About the pack animals Rylatt wrote: "How worried would be any member of the Humane society, could he see the treatment animals in a Pack Train receive, where the animals themselves are only a secondary consideration, the open sores on their backs, from hard and incessant packing, angry and running with humour, over which the Packer, too often, if not closely watched, without washing throws the heavy apparajos, or Pack Saddle, and as the sinch [sic] is tightened the poor beast groans, rears and plunges and not unfrequently sinks down under the pain, only to be whipped again into position." The work was backbreaking. The axemen led the way, hacking through endless numbers of both standing and prostrate trees. Only then would the pack trains continue on. When they met the junction of the Columbia and Blaeberry Rivers, the real work began to cut their way towards Howse Pass. It was about this time that Rylatt first began to feel lonely: "Your sense of being alone in the heart of a city, or even in a village, or within easy distance of fellow beings...gives you no claim to use the term 'alone'. You may have the feeling peculiar to being alone--that is all. Listen sometime when you think you are alone...Can you hear a footfall; a door slam in the distance; a carriage go by? Or the rumble of one...? Can you hear a dog bark? Hare you a cricket on the hearth or even the ticking of a clock...? They reached the pass on October 26, 1871 and the snows of winter quickly signaled that they would need to settle in and wait for spring. Once the snows landed, there would be no mail, pay or new supplies until the next spring. By New Year's Day, tempers were flaring and Rylatt found himself in a standoff with several of the crew that were trying to raid the supplies, and accused Rylatt of hiding the sugar that had ago run out. As they rushed the pantry, he took an axe and cut off three of the fingers of the ring leader. When they returned an hour later, all armed with axes, Rylatt held them off with his Henry rifle. As he wrote: "the roughs of the party are in open mutiny. Growling at their food, cursing me for being out of sugar, all this I care little for...but my pent up feelings have found vent today, and the leader of the roughs will carry my mark to his grave. I have passed through a somewhat exciting scene and don't care to have it repeated" As spring arrived, so did mail, but nothing for Rylatt who was distraught at not knowing if his wife was alive or dead. "We were informed that the white man who undertook to carry down the mail from Wild Horse Creek to Hope last fall, did not reach; and that this spring his body was found somewhere on the lonely route, the mailbag beside him" The mosquitoes were unrelenting as well: "I have smothered my face with mosquito muslin, smeared my hands with bacon grease, but bah! nothing keeps them off, and the heat only melts the grease and sends it beneath my clothing" On May 15, they received word that the Howse Pass route was to be abandoned and that they were to head north. Rylatt also received a long awaited letter when Moberly arrived in camp. In the letter, his bedridden wife begged for him to return but Moberly would not release him from his contract. By August of 1872, the mosquitoes were unrelenting and Rylatt was also beginning to suffer from the effects of scurvy. "My teeth have a feeling of looseness, and my gums are so sore, to touch them with my tongue gives me acute pain; am wondering if it is a touch of Scurvy; it is not very comforting to be sick in the mountains, but to be sick and all alone makes the chills creep down my back. These mountains are inhospitable enough for a man in full vigor." In September, he received three more letters, the last saying: "Oh! Bob, come home, I can't bear it". He was overcome with grief as there was no way he could make his way home to his beloved wife. By October, they were camped at the base of Mounts Hooker and Brown near to Athabasca Pass in present day Jasper National Park. It was here on Oct 19 that Rylatt received a message that simply stated: "Dear Rylatt--The papers state your wife has passed beyond the stream of time. Don't be too cut up, dear old fellow" Three days later, his dog Nip broke through the ice and Rylatt was unable to help as the dog vainly struggled to get out of his icy trap. As he disappeared beneath the ice, Rylatt dropped to his knees and screamed: "Oh God! Must everything be taken from me?" By April, Scurvy was taking its toll on Rylatt: "My mouth is in a dreadful state, the gums being black, the teeth loose, and when pressed against any substance they prick at the roots like needles. At times the gums swell, almost covering the teeth. To chew food is out of the question and so have to bolt it without mastication. My legs also becoming black below the knee...My breath is somewhat offensive and I am troubled with a dry cough. In fact I feel like an old man" With his poor health, he was finally allowed to leave the surveys and return home to an empty house. He left on May 13, 1873. Rylatt's ordeal showed us the things we don't often see in the journals of surveyors and explorers…the hardship, the horror, the loneliness and, in Rylatt's case, the heartbreak. Rylatt's journals are still available for purchase on Amazon.ca. I'll leave a link in the show notes for those that may like to buy a copy. Of all the books I've read on the survey, this one is my favourite because of its brutal honesty. Next week, we'll begin to look at the surveyor that ended up cracking the barrier of the Selkirk Mountains, Major A.B. Rogers. Next up - bird eating deer…say what? Bird-eating Deer While this is a story that comes out of states like South Dakota and Pennsylvania, it's just so unexpected that I thought it might be of interest to listeners of this podcast. It may also be happening right under our noses, but simply not been observed. So often we categorize our wildlife as either carnivore or herbivore depending on what they eat. Deer eat plants and Cougars eat deer. Some animals, like bears and humans get the special title of omnivore or eater of everything. Well it looks like those labels may have been too limiting as scientists have recently discovered that deer are a major predator of songbirds…yes you heard that right, white-tail deer eat birds, in particular ground nesting birds like eastern meadowlarks, sparrows, red-winged blackbirds and others. You can go onto Youtube and find some a number of videos of deer munching on a bird or two but researcher Les Murray placed cameras on 25 different nests in Valley Forge National Historic Park in Pennsylvania. Eight of the 25 nests was beset upon by predators and, as it turned out, the number-one predator was white-tailed deer. White-tails ate all 5 eggs from an eastern meadowlark nest, all but one egg from a field sparrow nest and four 5-day old nestlings from another field sparrow nest. Ok, so deer at a few eggs and nestlings - well they accounted for 38% of the recorded predation events as compared to 25% for fox, and 13% for both raccoons and weasels. Studies had shown that deer do occasionally eat an egg or nestling, but nobody expected that they were such an avid fan of birds. It may have something to do with sheer numbers of deer as opposed to the numbers of fox or raccoons. As songbird populations are shrinking in many areas, this is the first study to indicate that deer may actually play a role in the drop in population. States like Delaware have population densities of 45 deer/square km. That's potentially a lot of deer to hoover up eggs. The first time a bird was discovered in the gut of a deer was in 1970. It was later discovered that birds netted for population studies in Michigan were also being gobbled down by white-tails. Maybe it's time to redefine the word herbivore? Next up solar eclipse time Solar Eclipse coming next month On August 21, parts of North America will get the chance to experience a total solar eclipse. For many sky watchers, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Few people ever get to see a total solar eclipse simply because they are very rare. They take place when the moon lines up perfectly between the Earth and the sun and blocks out all of its light, casting the moons shadow on the Earth. For those of us in the mountain west, we won't get the full-meal-deal, but we should be able to see about an 85% coverage of the sun by the shadow of the moon. This eclipse is unique in that it will travel right across the U.S. from coast to coast - and that hasn't happened since 1918. Globally, partial solar eclipses happen between 2 and 5 times each year, but total eclipses only happen every 12-18 months. While we won't get to see the total eclipse, it will still be a special event. Want to see the TOTAL eclipse, well then it's time for a road show…'shotgun'. Head south to Oregon, Idaho or Montana. The total eclipse will last for just a few minutes and within a 110 kilometre wide band stretching from Oregon to South Carolina. You'll also need to be ready at between 10 am and 12:30 pm Mountain Daylights Savings Time. For those of us that can't do a road trip, it will begin at 10:18 am, hit its maximum at 11:31 am and be finished at 12:48 pm. If you want to learn about the timing where you are, I'll leave a link in the show notes at mountainnaturepodcast.com/ep038 to make sure you don't miss the show (https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/map/2017-august-21) Now don't you be looking directly at it though as you can quickly damage your eyesight. You can buy special eclipse glasses for a few dollars or build a pinhole projector to help you watch it without risking vision damage. I'll have a link to this as well (https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/box-pinhole-projector.html) While we haven't had a many cloudy days this summer, should you just not have luck, you can watch it live on NASA's site by clicking the following link: https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/eclipse-live-stream And with that it's time to wrap this episode up.

The castle-like Delta Bessborough Hotel is a four star, ten-story hotel located in downtown Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Today it is owned by Marriott, but this historic hotel dates back to 1928 when it was built by the Canadian National Railway. Railway hotels were built all across Canada with many of them sharing the same architecture. Many locals refer to the Bessborough as "The Bess" and many of them have tales of hauntings that take place in the hotel. There seems to be several spirits hanging around The Bess in the afterlife. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Delta Bessborough Hotel. The Moment in Oddity was suggested by listener Lisa Lauren Schmidt and features Jean Hilliard frozen alive and lives and This Month in History features the outlaw Belle Starr killed in Oklahoma. Also, we have the 12th installment in the third series of Tim Prasil's Spectral Edition. Our location was suggested by listener Corianne Wilson.
