In their conversation Mark and Waubgeshig talk about: Waub's interest in high school with English classes but still feeling like there was no strong connection and that not many of the books and stories being taught in Ontario in the 1990s were all that relatable Being shown books by indigenous authors via his Auntie that weren't being studied in school -- books by authors such as Richard Wagamese, Lee Maracle, Louise Erdrich -- and how that blew his world wide open and included thoughts such as maybe he could do that himself some day The Grade 12 Writing Course taught by Tom Bennett at Parry Sound High School that helped Waubgeshig in shaping stories Being side-tracked from creative writing by studying and beginning a career in journalism The benefit of getting to know writers and artists in the Toronto area in the early 2000s Applying for his first writing grant from Canada Council for the Arts in 2004 Waub's first book, Midnight Sweat Lodge, a connected short story collection How things really changed when Waubgeshig's Moon of the Crusted Snow first came out in 2018 Leaving full time journalism employment at CBC to become a full-time writer in 2020 The Northeast Blackout of 2003 and how his experiences being back home at Wasauksing First Nation near Parry Sound when it was all going down is what inspired Waubgeshig in writing Moon of the Crusted Snow Coming to the realization that home was the best place to be if this were actually a world-ending electricity blackout The stereotypes and mythologies about what life on a reservation is, and how, during that dark moment, it was a reminder of the resources and the beauty that place could actually be Expressing the heartfelt spirit of community that has withstood a lot of violence historically, and how that helps a group of people survive this latest major crisis Deciding to set the story in a location that a little further removed from Southern Ontario than where Waubgeshig actually grew up Waub's approach in writing the sequel and wanting it to take place several years after the events in the first novel and how that came to happen How the second novel explores the way the people of the community are able to live more autonomously on the land as Anishinaabe people The interesting publishing path that Waubgeshig's first novel took in landing at ECW Press Working with acquiring editor Susan Renouf and how great an experience that was and the wonderful suggestions she made to improve the raw manuscript The speculative fiction elements of a post-apocalyptic novel and Waub feeling so accepted in the SF/F community How the success of Moon of the Crusted Snow led Waub to getting agent representation by Denise Bukowski The path that led to Penguin Random House offering the contract for the sequel Moon of the Turning Leaves The new project that Waub is working on now Advice that Waub would offer to other writers And more...   After the interview Mark reflects on several different things he was thinking about during and after the conversation.   Links of Interest: Waubgeshig Rice Website Facebook Instagram Twitter Bluesky Superstars Writing Seminars EP 389 - "Now You've Gone" with Cathy Rankin and Ken K.

Greg Brady (@GregBradyTO) focuses in on  the federal government stepping in, after less than a full day of a rail stoppage, ordering CN Rail and CPKC, and the union to binding arbitration. Everyone thought this was great news – and that meant the rails would start rolling – but, late Thursday – the Teamsters union issued a statement via X, disputing the government's decision – meaning the stoppage is still on. How long will it take to get the issue resolved? We ask John Corey, President of the Freight Management Association of Canada. Next,  Mike Van Soelen, a crisis communications expert with Oyster Group. We talked about CUPE Ontario President Fred Hahn – his union has called for his resignation due to an antisemitic social media post, but Hahn says he won't back down and What's the move here? How can Hahn win this battle? Lastly, Sean O'Shea, Global News Consumer and Investigative Reporter and we were talking about a devastating ending to the story of a missing Ontario real estate agent. A Markham woman named Yuk-Ying Anita Mui, 56, was reported missing by her family on August 9th. York Regional Police say the burned human remains that were found in Parry Sound have been identified as those from a missing Ontario real estate agent.

From the Big Sound Comedy Festival in Parry Sound, Rebecca Reeds talks about her...let's say “lumberjack” vibes. And Todd Graham finds his jokes in the oddest of places!

On todays podcast we are featuring Bonnie J Kaplan, PhD, is Professor Emeritus in the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary. She has published widely on the biological basis of developmental disorders and mental health – particularly, the contribution of nutrition to mental health.  Her efforts to educate about the role of nutrition in brain health resulted in her selection in 2017 as one of 150 Canadian Difference Makers in Mental Health, in honour of Canada's 150th birthday. In 2019 she was honoured with the Dr. Rogers Prize for Excellence in Integrative, complementary medicine. In 2021 she was chosen as one of the top “7 Over 70” in Calgary, partly for her book The Better Brain, written with Professor Julia Rucklidge and published by Harper Collins, as well as her two charitable funds supporting research by junior colleagues who study nutrition and mental health (over $1 million CAD distributed). Her primary goal is to bring nutrition education and treatment to the forefront of mental health care.  The best news is Dr. Kaplan is coming to my hometown Parry Sound on November 2nd to present at the Stockey Centre on the topic of “The Importance of Nutrition for Brain Health and Resilience.” This event was going to be hosted at the Parry Sound Hospital but apparently a doctor there was opposed to it who essentially stated her work was not based in science. I found this so hard to believe since Bonnie has spent so much of her life in the field of research, and has 142 peer reviewed publications to prove it. So as a community of passionate people about a food as medicine approach as an incredible tool to enhance mental health we found a way to host her here ANYWAYS and for FREE to the general public. So all are welcome to attend this event which will be held from 1pm – 3pm, November 2nd at the Stockey Center in Parry Sound. All donations are going to two local programs to provide fresh food for their participants at The Drop supporting local youth and Hope Pregnancy Center supporting local pregnant moms. Thanks to Home Depot and Sweet Sobriety for sponsoring this event.  Website: https://bonniejkaplan.com Book: TheBetterBrainbook.com 5 min video on what micronutrients do in the brain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWIBf5ALLj4&t=4s Recent essay in Psychiatric Times: https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/nutritional-treatments-the-next-frontier-in-psychiatry A Conversation.com piece I wrote: https://theconversation.com/junk-food-and-the-brain-how-modern-diets-lacking-in-micronutrients-may-contribute-to-angry-rhetoric-170863 And finally, the two charitable funds she manages: In Canada, it is held by the Calgary Foundation. https://calgaryfoundation.org/.

From a live show in Saint John, New Brunswick, Dan Hendricken tackles his comedy like his to-do lists. And from Parry Sound, Ontario, Courtney Gilmour shares some lessons in self-worth!

For much of the last decade, the name of an Ojibwe boy and a prominent Kingston musician have been connected in the quest for reconciliation. Today, Gord Downie's home town of Kingston gets its first Legacy Space inspired by Chanie Wenjack and other indigenous residential school children. It's been a long time coming, but a new transitional housing community for homeless veterans is finally being built in Kingston. We spoke with one veteran who has been working to make it a reality. At this weekend's Lock and Paddle event, Peterborough's storied lift lock carried over hundreds of canoers and kayakers. We checked in on the state of the historic structure as it continues to operate while aging. Small towns and rural communities are not the only ones hit by doctor shortages. This past weekend, that same issue forced Hotel Dieu Hospital to reduce its Urgent Care Centre's hours. A Parry Sound woman has put her whole body where her mouth is and took on a personal challenge for a community cause. We heard how Kim's Swim went yesterday and why it was so important for her to achieve it.

In episode 300, Kestrel welcomes Dr. Lisa Erdle, the Director of Science and Research at 5 Gyres, to the show. A microplastics researcher and lifelong sailor, Lisa is passionate about keeping waterways clean for wildlife and people. “A load of laundry can shed anywhere in the range of hundreds of thousands to millions of microfibers, depending on how you wash and what you wash. There can be 850 times more microfibers shed from a high-shedding item compared to a low, so the textile design really matters. And washing isn't the only source of microfibers to the environment — we know there's also dryers, carpets and upholstery, cigarette butts, wet wipes, there's quite a long list. But the one that we know the most about, and one we have a solution for, is our washing machines.” -Dr. Lisa Today, we hear a lot about microfibers in our oceans and waterways, and how they are an issue we're facing. There are consistent news articles out there about it. At the same time, the narrative is generally very much aligned with polyester and synthetics and you know, the plastic side of things.  But as this week's guest reminds us – all fabrics shed microfibers. And it's important to note that when fibers shed from our clothing, it's not just the base fiber that is of concern – whether it's cotton or polyester, a natural fiber or a synthetic material – these fibers are generally also carrying some sort of chemical cocktail (a mix of dyes and treatments and coatings that are added to the fabric throughout the supply chain). You may be asking – how are all these fibers ending up in our waterways? According to researchers, the biggest culprits are washing machines. But these microfibers can also shed from dryers and even simply from walking around throughout the day. All of these layers make understanding the impacts of microfibers on people and the planet very complex. But as much as we don't know, we also know enough from a scientific lens, to act. There are solutions out there that can at least help slow down the rate of microfibers released into the environment.  Quotes & links from the conversation: “The Widespread Environmental Footprint of Indigo Denim Microfibers from Blue Jeans”, study Kestrel mentions “Capturing microfibers – marketed technologies reduce microfiber emissions from washing machines”, research paper that Dr. Lisa contributed to “Washing Machine Filters Reduce Microfiber Emissions: Evidence From a Community-Scale Pilot in Parry Sound, Ontario”, research paper that Dr. Lisa contributed to The Microfibre Consortium, organization that Dr. Lisa mentions Info about AB 1628 (California filtration bill) “The research on microfibers shows that used clothing typically sheds less than new clothing, poorly constructed garments shed more microfibers than well constructed garments. So, buying used when possible, or buying higher quality garments and washing less, washing cold — these are all things that can reduce your microfiber footprint.” -Dr. Lisa (40:58) 5 Gyres video about textiles & microfibers  5 Gyres video about textiles & microfibers (in Spanish) More on 5 Gyres research 5 Gyres Website Follow 5 Gyres on Instagram >

November is when we don our red poppies and remember our veterans, those who fought for Canada in war time. While November 11th is Remembrance Day across our country, November 8th is National Indigenous Veterans Day. Sargent Tommy Prince is one of Canada's most decorated Indigenous soldiers. We visited Brokenhead Ojibway Nation, Manitoba to learn more about the hero and the man. Students Kash Thompson, Micah Sinclair and Kendrick Bear give us an enthusiastic tour around and show us the humble monuments that bear this local hero's story. Gertrude and Bill Ballantyne regale us with stories about Sargent Prince's generosity and humour and his son Tommy Prince Junior shares his fondest memories of his dad. Even though Indigenous people across Canada were being denied rights as citizens during the great wars, many still chose to stand with the Crown. John Moses knows the minds and hearts of Indigenous soldiers on a personal and historical level. He served with the Canadian Armed Forces for five years and co-authored a Commemorative History of Aboriginal People in the Canadian Military. He discusses Indigenous soldiers' many motivations for enlisting and the impact their service had on their home communities. After decades lying in unmarked graves – the names of eight Indigenous veterans are now etched in stone. Earlier this year, The Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte found and marked their resting places. Chief Donald Maracle of Tyendinaga Mohawk Council says they are taking action to make sure the soldiers are never forgotten again. Francis Pegahmagabow was one of the most highly decorated Indigenous soldiers. “Peggy,” as many called him, was from Wasauksing First Nation near Parry Sound, Ontario. He served as a marksman in the First World War and had over 300 enemy kills and captured 300 more. But back home, the Canadian government and its Indian agents made life difficult for Peggy. Decades after Pegahmagabow made history, a group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people decided to tell his story through music. That group included Armand Garnet Ruffo, an Ojibway poet and professor at Queen's University and Brian McInnes, the war hero's great-grandson and the author of a book about his great-grandfather's life. Together they created Sounding Thunder: The Song of Francis Pegahmagabow, which debuted at Parry Sound's Festival of the Sound in 2018.

Head, Heart, Hands and Health, a History of 4-H in Ontario was released in 1994 as part of the celebration of 4-H Ontario's 80th anniversary. Did you know that when this book was written in 1994 that the province was divided into 16 council regions?

Leonard Wilson is an unlikely social media star. For one, nobody is really sure how old Leonard is. He's a senior, that much is clear. He lives on a farm in Parry Sound, Ontario. His Facebook dispatches detail his chicken-caring duties, walks around the homestead, and wild animal encounters. Hundreds of fans from as far away as China and Mexico send e-mails if they don't see a new "Leonard Time" update every few weeks. The other thing about Leonard? He's a dog. A 148-pound dog. (Originally broadcast May 2021)

Do you know the feeling of driving in circles trying to find parking down at the water? Acting Deputy Mayor Mariane McLeod spoke with us about how they're trying to deal with that in the town of Collingwood. It takes a village.. to build another village in Owen Sound .

Today in Graventown, I had the chance to chat with a fellow CBC alumni and someone I would run into frequently in my journalism days. Waubgeshig Rice is an Anishinaabe writer and journalist from the Wasauksing First Nation near Parry Sound, Ontario, in Canada and released his amazingly successful post-apocalyptic novel “Moon of the Crusted Snow” in 2018. Rice has been recognized for his work throughout Canada, including an appearance at Wordfest's 2018 Indigenous Voices Showcase in Calgary. The New York Times named Rice, alongside Cherie Dimaline, Rebecca Roanhorse, Darcie Little Badger and Stephen Graham Jones, as "some of the Indigenous novelists reshaping North American science fiction, horror and fantasy." It was lovely to chat with him today. Stay tuned for some spring and summer shows and please feel free to purchase my new album "Simple Complex" (mixed by Joel Plaskett) on my website. I feel the kind words and I'm loving the support. Be good to each other and please try to stay kind! I play live on Instagram every Thursday at 9 PM EST for Graventown.

Tragedy was an ever present possibility for those who worked in, or relied upon the great lakes shipping in the days of steamships and paddle wheelers. And when it struck, whole families and communities were often left with unanswerable questions. Such is the story behind the disappearance of the Waubuno, bound from Collingwood to Parry Sound in November of 1879. Following the story we remind our listeners to check out our excellent four part video series over on Facebook (facebook.com/collingwoodmuseum), “Stories of Unsettling Lore” where, in episode three, you can hear more about the Waubuno's sad story through the lens of two of her passengers on that ill fated final journey.

The first one is expected in 2020.. According to the latest news from the KEEA, Genesis (one of the brands of Hyundai Motor Group) intends to electrify its entire car lineup. The rumor is that the Genesis eG80 midsize SUV will be introduced this year, but initially only in a limited volume (around 5,000) in the South Korean market." reports InsideEVs   eGV70 (compact SUV) eGV80 (midsize SUV) eGV90 (large SUV) eG70 (compact sedan) eG80 (midsize sedan) eG90 (flagship sedan)   https://insideevs.com/news/402940/genesis-electrify-entire-lineup/   KUKA SECURES CONTRACT WORTH MILLIONS Here's an article sent in by Phil Roberts of Electric Future: "In the fourth quarter of 2019, KUKA won the contract for the planning and supply of a fully automated battery pack line: a major double-digit million euro order. Starting 2021, battery systems for fully electric vehicles in the premium segment will be manufactured in this production facility." Now, can you think of a U.S. electric car maker which wants to make it's own cells? "KUKA is implementing its comprehensive technological know-how as well as over fifty KUKA industrial robots to meet these demands, encompassing the supply, cleaning and measuring of the battery frames, checking the battery modules to be installed, application of the thermal compound, assembling and fastening the individual modules in the battery frame, electrical contacting, sealing and screwing on the housing cover, and finally the leak test and quality inspection at the end of the line."   https://www.kuka.com/en-de/press/news/2020/03/batterie-pack-linie   TESLA MODEL Y LENGTH, WIDTH, HEIGHT, WEIGHT, OFF-ROAD FEATURES EMERGE "Specs for the Tesla Model Y are finally available.

Overall Width including mirrors: 83.8 in or 2,129 mm. Moving on to some newly confirmed features, the Model Y comes with what's called Off-Road Assist. This selectable feature does the following: "Adjusts traction control to optimize performance off-road. Some Autopilot safety features such as Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Departure Avoidance features are not available when Off-Road Assist is enabled." Last, but not least, a new image confirms that the Model Y will have a power liftgate with a height of opening that's customizable."   https://insideevs.com/news/402992/tesla-model-y-size-weight/   MIIT VERIFIES XPENG P7 EV RANGE OF 706 KM (439 MILES) NEDC "China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China (MIIT) has verified Xpeng’s P7 electric sports sedan’s driving range to be NEDC 706 km (439 miles).

The heavy-duty pure electric truck is equipped with world-leading lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries that have a lifespan of 15 years and a range of 150 kilometers on a single charge, complementing the truck’s integrated drive shaft and a unique control system developed by BYD. The electrohydraulic power system greatly facilitates steering and gives them a load capacity of 31.5 tons.   SPANISH PLUG IN SALES "The Spanish plug-in market continues on fire, hitting 2.912 units in February, up 96% YoY, this market second best result ever, after the record 3.265 units registered in the previous month of January, while looking at market share, last month reached 3%, keeping the 2020 PEV share at 3.3% (1.9% BEV), while BEVs remain the majority of sales (58%), aligned with last year result." says EV-Sales: "As for last month best sellers, the #1 Renault Zoe scored 317 registrations last month, a good result that allowed it to strengthen its leadership.  Good news also for the runner-up Peugeot 208 EV, that registered 227 units in February, allowing it to gain significant ground over its stablemate, the #3 Peugeot 3008 PHEV."   http://ev-sales.blogspot.com/2020/03/spain-february-2020.html   BENTLEY CEO THROWS DOWN HYBRID GAUNTLET TO POLITICIANS "Bentley Chairman and CEO Adrian Hallmark has thrown the challenge to UK politicians to grant hybrids a stay of execution instead of banning them along with petrol and diesel engines by 2035." reports CAR magazine: "When asked to speculate on what will happen in 2035 when the UK’s proposed ban on internal combustion engines comes into effect, Hallmark said that while the deadline is achievable, the resulting demonisation of hybrids could do more bad than good in the interim."   https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/hybrid/bentley/   QUESTION OF THE WEEK ANSWERS ED CORTEEN I would like a V to G (vehicle to grid charger) please, why? Much cheaper than having to invest in another battery, use the one you have!   Dan from Canada I would put a fast charger at the French River Provincial Park in Ontario. There are currently no fast chargers between Parry Sound and Sudbury along Ontario Highway 69.   And then..."The new Ivy charging network is planning a fast charger at Key River, near French River Provincial Park!"   KARL CRAMER I'd love L2 chargers at the parking lot of my gym. You do the thing you're supposed to do and get a decent charge when you're done. I currently have a free charger a 10 minute walk away from my gym. I know, poor me.   MARK RICHARDS I would want a 350kW charge station in downtown Denver.  I drive uber, and sometimes need a boost.  I have a Bolt now, but will likely upgrade when GM comes out with some newer EVs, so I'll be able to take advantage of the higher speeds. I hope Charge Point is doing this for one lucky listener of yours, and I hope it is me.   BILL BURGAR I'd put 100s of 3pin sockets in long term parking at airports. All sockets limited to 6 amps i.e. enough to fully charge any car over a few days or a week while you are away - very cheap to do and ensures that there are spaces with sockets for everyone with an EV. Maybe do the same but with 13amps per socket for all railway station car parks.   GIL ROSADO I think my dream charger would be a charger that plugs into a standard wall outlet. To get around the slow charge speeds, it would actually be a battery that you leave plugged in all the time. When you hook up your car to it, it uses the charge in the battery to speed up the charging. You could install this charger anywhere where there is a standard wall outlet, and should be enough to charge your car fully overnight (8-10 hours) if you are charging at home.   DARREN FINDLAY  I’d like some chargers installed at work, even a few weather proof 3 pin plugs would be good. A trickle charge is better than nothing at all! I’d also like to see chargers in all public car parks. I’d even be happy to pay more to park in an area dedicated to electric cars – it may even cut down on the ice-ing issue!   Mia Oppelstrup In response to this week's question of the week, with no concern for cost the one place I'd like a (DC fast) charger is between two US landmarks that are currently impossible to drive between in an EV: Yellowstone National Park and Mount Rushmore. There is one Tesla charger but the way it's placed you still wouldn't quite make it to the park and back to the charger. In fact I think we may really need 2 DCFC to make the route feasible.   NEW QUESTION OF THE WEEK The MYEV.com Question Of The Week…   Why do you think Tesla are quietly delivering the Model Y without the usual fanfare?   I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the 241 patrons of this podcast whose generosity means I get to keep making this show, which aims to entertain and inform thousands of listeners every day about a brighter future.

Show #699   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Sunday 16th February 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time.   Welcome to new Producer KEVIN HEISLER   Welcome to new Producer JULIE   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   CANADA TO SPEND $8 MILLION ON 160 DC CHARGERS IN ONTARIO "There is a lot going on in Canada in terms of fast-charging infrastructure as Petro-Canada launched a coast-to-coast network, Tesla completed its coast-to-coast Supercharging highway and Electrify Canada is expanding." reports InsideEVs: "The latest news is that the Government of Canada will provide an additional $8 million CAD for more fast chargers in Ontario. The plan is to build 160 chargers at 73 locations, which would be $110,000 per site and $50,000 per charger on average. The investment is part of the strategic plan to switch to zero-emission vehicles by 2040. Natural Resources Canada so far provided support for more than 830 fast chargers (built or under construction)."   https://insideevs.com/news/398891/canada-8-million-160-chargers-ontario/   NEW TESLA MODEL S LONG RANGE PLUS CLAIMS 390 MILES "A new Tesla Model S Long Range Plus variant has a claimed driving range of 390 miles, according to the Tesla website. There is also a Long Range Plus version of the Model X SUV, which is rated at 351 miles of range." says Car And Driver: "Tesla has not provided any details on how it added the additional range, and the only change we can see on the Model S is a new set of 19-inch standard wheels with a so-called Tempest design. We do know that there is some sort of software tweak involved, as Musk tweeted that the company will roll out a software update for existing Model S and Model X owners to unlock extra range."   Engadget says: "You could theoretically drive from New York City to Pittsburgh with enough battery life left to go on a brief tour. The Model X, meanwhile, is now estimated to drive 351 miles on a charge instead of the earlier 328 miles. The question is whether or not these improvements will translate to further gains for cars like the Model 3 and Model Y -- extra range at the high end only matters so much if just a fraction of Tesla's customers can see the benefits."   https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a30941743/tesla-model-s-long-range-plus/   https://www.engadget.com/2020/02/15/tesla-extends-model-s-x-range   EV RANGE-TOPPER CARVES OUT NEW ROLE FOR KIA "A lofty, high-performance electric vehicle currently headed down the Kia product pipeline is, like all EVs, something of a gamble. For the mainstream Korean automaker, it’s also a departure." according to The Truth About Cars: "Kia marketing chief Carlos Lahoz called the model a halo. The Imagine, he said, is “as significant in showing our EV capability for the future as the Stinger was for showing how far Kia had progressed when it was launched.” Herrera has talked up the possibility of getting electric supercar builder Rimac on board, thus ensuring an excess of performance."   Autoblog said: "The extent of Rimac's involvement remains a mystery. Similarly, we don't know how Kia defines the term "super-high performance," and whether it alludes to straight-line speed, Tail of the Dragon-taming handling, or both. The architecture will be compatible with an 800-volt electrical system that charges the battery from 20% to 80% in 20 minutes"   https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2020/02/a-halo-with-value-ev-range-topper-carves-out-new-role-for-kia/   https://www.autoblog.com/2020/02/14/kia-imagine-concept-taps-rimac/     2017 NISSAN LEAF THE ONLY EV TO RECEIVE DEPENDABILITY AWARD Leading consumer advocate J.D. Power recognized the Nissan LEAF with top honors in their 2020 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS). Nissan LEAF ranked as the top performing non-premium vehicle and at the top of the compact car segment with a score of 83 problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100). The Nissan LEAF is the first pure electric vehicle to win an overall segment award in the history of the VDS study.   PORSCHE DELIVERS FIRST TAYCAN 4S "Porsche has started deliveries of the Taycan 4S, the less expensive version starting at $104,000, of its new premium electric car." says Electrek: "Performance battery: a 79.2kWh pack with a total output of 390kW and a 225kW charging capacity. Performance battery Plus: a 93.4kWh pack, same as Turbo, but limited to 420kW versus 560kW for Turbo versions. It has a 270kW charging capacity. The smaller battery pack results in a range of 407 km (253 miles), and the bigger one should result in 463 km (288 miles) on a single charge based on the WLTP standard."   https://electrek.co/2020/02/14/porsche-delivers-first-taycan-4s/   TESLA IS STARTING TO ADD THIRD-PARTY CHARGING STATIONS “This spring break, we have changed your navigation to show more charging options in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Choose the charging symbol at the bottom right of your touch screen, scroll down and select a Supercharger, Destination Charger or public charger to add it to your route. Public chargers have different access requirements and you might need to download a app like Plugsurfing and create an account to make use of the charger. This functionality will be improved in future software updates and we will continuously add new chargers.”   TESLA UNLOCKS REAR HEATED SEATS FOR MODEL 3 SR AND SR PLUS "Tesla is offering rear heated seats for the Model 3 Standard Range and Standard Range Plus as a $300 upgrade that can be activated through an over-the-air software update." says Joey at Teslarati: "The latest update follows a request by Tesla Model 3 owner who asked Elon Musk if a cold-weather OTA update can also activate the rear heated seats. Model 3 variants all have the necessary hardware for heated seats, enabling Tesla to easily manage feature activation through software. While rear heated seats were originally active on early Tesla Model 3 variants with the Partial Premium Interior and above, the company ultimately disabled the feature on Model 3 Standard Range and Standard Range Plus."   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-3-rear-heated-seats-standard-range/   THE UK'S FIRST SUPPLY OF 1,500 VW ID.3 "If you have an order placed on Volkswagen's all-new electric car - or indent to put a deposit down soon - you might be waiting a while for it to arrive." reports ThisIsMoney.co.uk: "Alan Day Group, which was given just 35 of the first UK ID.3 deliveries, said its allocation was bought up within an hour of being made available online in May last year.  These cars will be arriving with customers at the end of March - around the 28 or 29, This is Money has been told - as Volkswagen's ramps-up efforts to sell plug-in models to repair the damage to its reputation as a result of the diesel emissions cheating scandal."   https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-8004807/The-UKs-supply-1-500-VW-ID-3-electric-cars-sold-TWO-DAYS.html   TESLA STEPS INTO THE UTILITY SPACE WITH NEW GRID CONTROLLER PATENT "This week, Tesla locked in a new patent for a distributed electrical grid management system, with capability to control everything from massive grid-scale energy storage installations down to your washing machine to keep everything humming along nicely." reports CleanTechnica: "The new patent is a natural extension of Tesla’s Grid Controller solution that manages grid-scale assets, but the new solution takes it a step further by folding in Tesla’s in-home solutions, and then some. The result proposed in the new patent is an end-to-end distributed grid management system with the capability to identify and manage assets on the grid, in businesses, and in homes as a means of balancing the grid more effectively. It leverages each asset on the grid as a part of the overall system."   https://cleantechnica.com/2020/02/14/tesla-steps-into-the-utility-space-with-new-grid-controller-patent/   QUESTION OF THE WEEK   JAN from EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM We had our most extended EV road trip in the summer of 2018. We started in Halden in Norway. Went down the Swedish west coast to Gothenborg and took the ferry to Denmark for a party. Then we headed for Leipzig for visiting the BMW site there and look at the i3 and i8 production. Next stop was Prague before travelling to Munich for some talks whit Ionity and a visit at BMW Welt. On our way to Italy, we drove through Austria and Switzerland before crossed the Stelvio Pass (2.757 m). When in Italy we visited Garda, Venezia, Firenze, Toscana and Genova before a short visit in Franch and Chamonix. On our trip home we also visited and charged in Luxembourg, Belgium and the Nederlands. On our three weeks journey, we drove some 6500 km in 12 countries (included Norway). As a charging nerd, I tested charging my BMW i3 (94AH) in all the countries. The largest barrier for travelling long distances in an EV is in our head.   DAVID PARTINGTON The longest trip I ever did was 500miles each way from London to Dundee in my 24kwh Nissan Leaf back in December 2018. Each way, it took over 13 hours and 10 rapids to cover the 500miles - not really a journey for the faint hearted, definitely a bit of an adventure - but in some ways I can't wait to try it again, perhaps later on this year, and see if I can do it more quickly in the summer, and with the benefit of there being a lot more rapids in place now, which means you can take bigger 'bets' for each leg between charges.   JON KNODEL The longest road trip I’ve done in my Tesla Model 3 RW Long Range was 550 miles each way. From Santa Barbara, CA to the northeast forests of California. A robust fast charging network is the cure for any “range anxiety” or adventure to remote forests! Charging was slowed since I went 100%, so I could have a climate control at night while our ICE car compadres bundled up I their tents and trailers. I did have to stop at a Gas station though... I accumulated so many bugs from driving California’s Central Valley my autopilot cameras and human cameras were blocked. I’m considering a few longer trips as well. Electrons know no limits!   Jim McLaren When I had my Nissan Leaf I did a number of 400 mile road trips, but when I picked up my new Tesla Model 3, I decided I would be more adventurous. In November I set off on a 1200 mile journey from Falkirk, just outside Edinburgh and drove to Spain, ran the San Sebastian marathon, had a coffee and a sandwich then drove home again - sleeping in the car on the way. The abundance of Tesla supercharger stations made charging very easy and the level 2 autonomous features of the car meant that it did over 90% of the distance driven itself, taking a lot of the strain out the drive in what was mainly poor weather conditions.   ANDERS HOVE Last year I did three 1000-mile EV trips on 3 continents to check out the charging infrastructure: in California, from Beijing to Inner Mongolia, and in Germany and France (the latter was the longest of the three). But this is evolving so quickly that I'd like to do it again. I'm very interested in the route you are considering, since for my European trip I had considered going into Italy but it looked like charging infrastructure was a bit sparse. As well, on my European trip, EV renting was a bit inflexible, and my company required drop off at the same place as I rented the vehicle.   BRENT KINGSFORD About six months after I bought my Chevy Bolt, I decided it was time to prove to myself that a quick 1200+ mile road trip from my house in Washington State to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City , Utah was possible.  With a little help from Plug Share I mapped my route there and back. Despite a few charger issues, we made it there. After moving my son’s residence, we turned right back around and headed home.  There were a few times I was worried about making it to the next ccs dc fast charger, but we did it.    JAMES DUBBEN 4 Months in to owning our Tesla M3 Dual Motor LR we set off across the USA. Florida to Washington 2,508 miles in 3 days. 20 supercharger stops. Healthiest trip ever across the US. Week with friends and family then 2 more weeks wandering across the west US seeing 10 National parks/monuments. 7,200 miles overall.   MARK WESTON I took my then 3 week old Hyundai kona electric car last May from where I live just outside Waltham Abbey Essex to East Kilbride Scotland 398 miles each way.  Being a novice I made some mistakes but realised that the public Charging  I.e Highway Electric need to improve available charging stations and more of them.   MATTHEW BOOTH I myself have driven 480Km each way from Northern Switzerland to Italy for our holiday, in my Jaguar iPace. It's actually no different from driving a vehicle with ICE, other than it's quieter and more relaxing. There are so many charging stations in Europe now it's not challenging at all.   Bill Miller When we got our new 2018 BMW i3 in March, I convinced my reluctant wife that a long road trip in our new car would be “fun”!  We traveled a sizable chunk of the SE USA taking our journey through 6 states all of which were pretty unaware of the existence of EV’s.   At that time the entire state of Alabama had zero public charging stations. However, since about all car dealers had at least one EV on their list of available vehicles, they had installed a charging station. So our BMW was welcomed at all different brands of dealers. In fact a Nissan dealer offered to give us a courtesy ride to & back from a local restaurant for lunch while our car was charging.     MARK WALKER I'm emailing to answer your question of the week. To date our longest EV trip has been from Parry Sound ON to Cornwall, ON, approximately 500 km. No issues for the most part, but we have to take different routes depending on whether we decide to charge and have an outing at a level 2, or just want to get there. We have a EV Road trip planned for the summer, travelling from Parry Sound, ON to Prince Edward Island, a distance of approximately 1800 km. We aren't overly concerned due to some planned stops for overnights, not to mention we have a 2 year old who needs breaks in the car! We're vey much looking forward to it. We drive a Kona Electric, which the canadian model only comes with the 64kwh battery, and the heat pump. As a further intersting tid-bit, a Tesla Model Y was spotted in Sudbury ON yesterday. It was -25 celcisus and it was spotted at the supercharger there with california plates. Presumably doing some cold weather testing.   JOHAN EINEVIK I dream of driving with the family to Spain and back. Its about 3000 km  from my home in Sweden to the center of Spain. Hope I will do it when I get my Model Y.   TOM LAST My first big EV road trip was Anglesey to Samoens in the French alps in my Free Supercharging 2015 Tesla Model S 85D in Feb 2016 when the Supercharger network was so much less developed than it is today.  It was great, a few big gaps (200+ miles between chargers) required a bit of hypermiling but all in all it was a breeze.  In October 2019 we took another trip from Anglesey to Lake Geneva and then home via the Nurburgring in my Model 3 Performance, the difference was massive, Superchargers are so abundant now its really no issue if you can access them, again all the charging was free as I was lucky enough to have 10,000 free miles based on 2 referrals I made back in May 2019.   NICO JANSEN We drove more than 3k km in 3 weeks with our Renault Zoë ZE 40 (your car). We went from Belgium to Sweden for hollyday (see map). Charge stops we're long given the slow charging speed of the old Zoë. Had some trouble with rapid gating battery (1 kW charging instead of 22) on our first day (40°C that day). Finding a charger was also a challenge sometimes in lower populated areas. Saw enough superchargers though.   GUILLAME I've been doing international trips for the last 5 years with my EVs (2 Leaf, 1 i3). Last one was from Ireland through France, Corsica, north of Italy, Monaco, Switzerland, Germany (Frankfurt Motor Show), Luxembourg, Belgium and back to France and Ireland : 4500km in 3 days. No more than 600km per day (applies to my BMW i3 94Ah, probably similar for your Zoé Ze40). Plenty 22kW AC charge points in France so your Zoé will literally feel at home there.   SHARON & MICHAEL MOSS We are currently on our return trip from Fully Charged in Austen where we displayed our 2020 Kia Soul. By the time we get home we will have traveled 6,500 miles from our home on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Other than the extra few hours to charge to a days travel we have found that the EV trip was no different from a gas car, other than the quiet.  At most fast charging stations we were the only vehicle and did not have to wait. We found that when we stopped to charge we spent the time getting a bite to eat, getting a bathroom break, taking a quick walk or checking out local attractions. Your trip sounds like a great adventure, much more fun than flying and better for the environment!   henrik brandt Last fall me and my wife took a road trip from from Copenhagen to Volterra - Italy in our 2015 Tesla Model S70D. A total of 4,511 kilometers with a total of 29 charging stops at Tesla Supercharger locations as shown below.   JEFF ERBES total 2,100 round trip. That was my first long road trip and it went fine, of course Tesla tells you when and where you need to go to charge and how long each charging will take. We took 2 days to do it and we stayed in a hotel that had chargers so in the morning we left with a full charge... that was awesome! When we got there we charged with a 110 outlet which took about 24 hours but no rush we were staying for 5 days anyway.   Steve Birkett | Plug & Play EV I just completed a 4,232-mile round trip from Boston, Massachusetts to Austin, Texas in a Chevy Bolt EV, in order to attend the first Fully Charged Live in the USA. Lots of folks came from far-flung corners of the country in Teslas, of course, but I felt like the few of us who covered major miles in non-Tesla EVs proved an important point: the North American public charging infrastructure is now extensive and reliable enough to get us across the country in a relatively short space of time! I left Wed. 29th Jan, got to Austin on Fri. 31st, spent the weekend enjoying the show and was back on the East coast by the following Tuesday 4th Feb.   MARKUS LAFER I wouldn't be concerned to go from UK to Pisa too much using Newmotion/Shell charging cards taking in consideration the number of chargers on the route. Maybe in Italy it could be a little bit more of a challenge, but not in Western Europe.   STEVE DAVIES My wife and I made a US cross country trip from New Jersey to Arizona this holiday season. This was the most relaxing long drive I've ever done. 5 days each way. 3 or 4 Supercharger stops each day averaging about 25 min per charge. Free destination charging each night at hotels.   JACK In August 2018 my wife and I loaded up our year-old Chevrolet Bolt and drove from our home in eastern Massachusetts to Southern California and back for a family get-together, about 7000 miles total. We folded down the back seats and stuffed the back of the Bolt with our usual luggage plus a tent and camping supplies, brought a portable 32 amp EVSE to charge at state campgrounds overnight, ordered every charging network RFID card, downloaded all of the apps, and planned a route that minimized the gaps between CCS chargers. We drove past Electrify America construction sites all the way across the Great Plains — the same trip would have been very different the following summer!   NEW QUESTION OF THE WEEK The MYEV.com Question Of The Week…   Are you happy to pay extra for add-on features or apps for your EV, after you’ve bought it?   I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the 236 patrons of this podcast whose generosity means I get to keep making this show, which aims to entertain and inform thousands of listeners every day about a brighter future.

They had big plans and were excited to start their new life.Ron and Terry left Edmonton, Alberta Canada on June 9, 1973 to head east to Montreal, attend a friend's wedding and then settle in the Maritimes where Ron hoped to land a teaching position, and Terry, a journalist intended to seek employment at a newspaper.En Route they stopped in to friends in Brandon, Manitoba and the next day mailed a one-word postcard back home to family in Edmonton telling them they had made it as far as Dryden, in time, and without a breakdown – and owed a $50 bet!However, Ron and Terry did not show up at the wedding as planed and were never seen from again.This is unsolved mysteries of the world season 4 episode 9 The Unsolved Disappearance of Terry Pettit and Ron Yakimchuk.Ron and Terry had packed the 1959 Volkswagen Beetle as much as possible. The tiny car was battered, but drivable. The faded red color and mismatched green hood and fender made the vehicle stand out but not nearly as much as the 6 ft bright white Kayak tied to the roof and the many boxes and household supplies packed into the tiny backseat. The bright yellow Alberta license plate would also have stuck out to any eye-witnesses.Friends said that the couple were adventurous and even said they may travel as far as Europe. At the time, however, only Terry had a passport. Ron was described as laid back and extremely sensible and mature and would have not made any quick decisions. Terry is described as more adventurous who drank scotch whiskey, rolled her own cigarettes and loved to drag friends off on adventuresThe last known location, according to police is that the couple were in Dryden, Ontario. Police are uncertain if they continued on the journey through Canada via Highway One, which at the time was narrow, hilly and very remote, or if they decided to cross into the United States at International Falls and continue to Duluth Minnesota via larger and faster interstate highways to cut across and slip back into Canada near Sue St, Marie or Detroit. At the time, no records were kept of border crossings. It is uncertain if they did cross any borders.Since their last known location their bank accounts were never used. Ron's life insurance policy was never cashed in and the couple, even after all these years has not been declared dead.What is more baffling is that the highly visible VW Beetle and all the contents, including the Kayak disappeared as well.Police indicate they have received tips over the years but nothing significant has surfaced.However, Vivian McCroary indicated she witnessed the vehicle and occupants in July of 1973 in Parry Sound, Ontario, some 1450 kilometres south east of Dryden, Ontario."I phoned the police at the time and they didn't even take my phone number and name," she said. "I swear it's the same car."Vivian says she remembers it well because the 1959 VW was parked on the roadway with the couple and another man standing near it and her husband slammed on the brakes and swerved around it narrowly avoiding an accident. She remembers seeing an Alberta license plate as well. The vehicle was in the southbound lanes of highway 69 and the rear engine hood was up. There was no sign of the white Kayak, tied to the roof, however."There was a tall, slim fellow with dark hair and ... a hippy hair cut," she says. "He was standing more in the ditch. There was this other man and woman and they were on the left hand side in front of the vehicle. I couldn't see the man particularly well. He was pretty well behind the woman. He wasn't much taller than her."OPP Det. Const. Scott Johnston says he is following up on the tip from 35 years ago and indicated there was another incident with a VW at about the same time that may be related, but did not elaborate.When the couple did not make it to the wedding friends and family were concerned but not overly taken up by the couple's absence. The report of them missing came weeks later and it took months before any earnest search of the couple began.Adding to the mystery is that friend Winston Gereluk, said "Terry told me they were going away and nobody would find them for a while.”Friends did some snooping on their own. They checked to see whether the driver's licences were renewed, or social assistance was being collected or taxes being paid."As time went on, I think we said that if they went underground, boy they did it really well because they just sank without a trace,” adds Gereluk.Police have also collected DNA from family members to check on unidentified remains. So far, there has been no matches.The case remains unsolved. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Workplace collective agreements must be based on human rights legislation, Canadian Supreme Court rules. When Joanne O’Brien went on maternity leave before she’d completed her probationary work period at Parry Sound, Ontario’s social services administration board, she returned to find herself fired. That was 1998. She complained to a labour board, which ruled that her employer had violated her rights under Ontario’s human rights code. After further appeals, on September 18, 2003, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that under Ontario law, a labour board is responsible for spelling out human rights and other employment-related laws in their collective agreement. This established human rights legislation as the basis on which employers must build employer/employee agreements, whether or not the rights they promise are written into their collective agreements.

I had a chance to do an interview with Joanne, a sailor doing America’s Great Loop with her husband David and their dog.  She has been writing a travel blog since they left Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada many months ago. Their journey took them across the Great Lakes to Chicago, where the mast was taken off and trucked down to the Gulf of Mexico. With too many low bridges, they did the route down to the mouth of Mississippi River by motorboat. They have been sailing the Caribbean Seas for a few months living a dream. Plans are to put the boat up on dry dock during the hurricane season in Miami. They hope to return in the fall and to continue their trip down to Turks & Caicos Islands perhaps ...and within six months, who know where else? Don't plan your vacation dreams too long....Just Do It! I spoke to Joanne via a Skype phone call as she was docked in a marina with a good Wi-Fi signal in the Bahamas. I had been waiting a few weeks to get in touch with her. Because of high winds she was trapped in a bay unable to negotiate the waves and find an internet signal. visit traveloguecreator.com to read more

We started out with pump problems again so we made our usual trip into Parry Sound to the Home Depot for a new pump and other assorted parts. OF course we were all decked out in our finest kottage-tek T-shirts from our swag shop and we actually got some attention from a couple of hunnies. Wow! I also picked up some 2"quick disconnect couplings. These are intended for gas lines but I'm tired of having to use the big ass monkey wrench whenever we disconnect the pump. These worked like a charm and now we can hot swap a water pump in less than 20 minutes.

Some of the most common questions we get asked in my business have to do with building and the building process.  What should I build, do I need a permit to make "modest" alterations to my existing home or cottage and where do I go to get started. Tonight, I'll talk to Helen Vock, who's a certified building inspector and designer.  Helen is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to building codes, home and cottage design and we'll talk about why so many people "get it wrong", when they build, either from scratch or renovate an existing structure.  Feel free to call with any questions!
