HALLOWEEN GHOST STORY 🎃
Built in 1860 by Moss Kent Dickinson and his business partner Joseph Currier, Watson’s Mill is a gorgeously restored old grist mill that harnesses the power of the river to grind wheat into flour, of which it still continues to do today.
In addition to the over 150 year old relics that occupy this unique landmark, the spirit of a ghost is said to also lie within its walls, a confined spirit who haunts the mill where a young life came to an untimely end one tragic day in 1861….

Luckily I speak Corporate Jargon! Let me translate:
We're losing lots of money and cash flow sucks. We got another US Government contract though so we will lose even more in the future, despite the incredible subsidies we get.
We're so broke we can't waste $ buying back stock!
Today, we report our third-quarter results.

Hey all you Zetterlund haters, look at this!
I love small businesses like this guy. Owns a golf club repair studio and just opened up a fitting studio.
Great entrepreneur!
Basically West Carleton elected the only councillor opposed to turning rural Ottawa into a massive wind and solar array.
At least there's one voice.

Proving it is a company capable of terrible practices, Rogers had the time of tonight’s Flames v Leafs game changed to 6:30 which is bad for Calgary but good for people in Toronto and THEN made the game unavailable in Calgary on cable, mocking @crtceng and confirming every suspicion Calgarians harbour about corporate Toronto. Cut the cord

Josh Kutryk, Alberta farm kid, CF-18 @RCAF_ARC fighter pilot, 4 univ degrees, top test pilot @usairforce, wife Heather due in a month with their 3rd child, genuinely nice guy.
Going out into the thermal vacuum of the universe to build more powerful solar arrays onto the International Space Station. Notice every detail, @Astro_Kutryk!

Very cool history about Montreal!
They have chosen Montréal because it is a centuries old stronghold for the European seigneurial system.
The immense wealth of the Sulpicians in Montreal stemmed from their unique legal status, vast land ownership, and distinct rules regarding personal property. Unlike other Catholic orders, they transformed Montreal from a struggling mission into a highly profitable economic stronghold.
Mafia like control.
In 1663, the Society of Saint-Sulpice officially took over the Island of Montreal. Under the French seigneurial system, they became the sole landlords (seigneurs) of the entire island and surrounding regions, including the Lake of Two Mountains. As land owners, they commanded:
•Cens et rentes: Annual cash or crop rents paid by every settler (habitant) farming their land.
•Lods et ventes: A hefty tax levied on any land transaction or property resale within their territory.
•Banalités: Monopolies on vital infrastructure; settlers were legally required to grind their grain at Sulpician-owned mills, leaving a portion of the flour as a tax.
The Saint Sulpice Seminary in Montreal, one of the oldest buildings in the city, built in 1684.
Construction began in 1684 by François Dollier de Casson, superior of the Sulpicians, and was completed in 1687.
The Sulpicians of Montreal in the 1600s were from France and served as missionaries, judges, explorers, schoolteachers, social workers, supervisors of convents, canal builders, urban planners, colonization agents, and entrepreneurs.
Their seminary in Montreal was constructed with the aid of a Master Mason and carpenter, Etienne Trudeau, the patronymic ancestor of the Trudeau family & both Canadian Prime Ministers Pierre and Justin Trudeau.
Despite them not revealing the exact location of this EU Clubhouse Meeting, it is in Montréal for a reason.
This was a wonderful message.
I hear Buff is now a pro Bass Fisherman. Living the dream!
A message from Emily, Dustin, and the Byfuglien family to you, Winnipeg 💙
I’ve been trying to find the right words to describe what this weekend meant to our family, and I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to do it justice.
Winnipeg, you gave us something this weekend that I didn’t realize how much I needed. A goodbye we never really got to have.
The way our chapter in Winnipeg ended wasn’t how any of us imagined it would. There were a lot of emotions, a lot left unsaid, and a goodbye that never really happened. For years, I’ve carried a little sadness about that. Not because of the hockey, but because of the people.
Because Winnipeg was never just about hockey to us.
It was a city that embraced our family, watched our children grow, celebrated with us, and stood behind us through so many incredible years. The friendships, the memories, the familiar faces in the stands, and the kindness we experienced are things I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
Coming back this weekend and feeling that same love after all these years was overwhelming in the most beautiful way. Every hug, every kind word, every person who stopped us to share a memory or simply say hello reminded me just how special this city and its people truly are.
I know the ending was complicated. I know there were feelings on all sides. But this weekend reminded me that sometimes the love and memories you leave behind are bigger than the way a chapter ends.
And maybe that’s what made this weekend so emotional. We finally got to feel the goodbye we missed, and it was more beautiful than I could have imagined.
To the fans who loved and supported our family for all those years, and who welcomed us back like no time had passed, thank you. You gave us more than you probably realize.
Winnipeg will always hold a piece of my heart. Not because of the games, the wins, or the hockey, but because of the people who made it feel like home.
Some chapters don’t end the way we hoped. But sometimes, if we’re lucky, we get one more moment to remember just how beautiful they were.
Thank you, Winnipeg. For all of it. Xo
Good article.
Last year when Brady was injured, Timmy soared, and came back to earth when Brady returned.
So nice to see Timmy soaring without that constraint of having to feed Brady all the time.

I FINALLY found a place which will do Grip Fitting!
I got clubs fitted before but I read about the importance of grip fitting and found this place on Wellington St in Westboro!
John Daly in a video about it talked about it being more important than club fitting.
A man claiming to be entirely unqualified just got elected in BC.
Finally, an honest politician!
Happy Election Day!
