@LumberTrading thanks for a memory Jog, back in the day there was a bakery behind one of the hospitals in Toronto. within one block was a row of restaurants where interns in their whites would take lunch, a physician client said he took great pleasure asking "hi guys how's things at the bakery"
I think this is a major story that’s somewhat under the radar if you’re not in the western or south western USA
A new scientific analysis warns that the Colorado River Basin could face a “system crash” as early as 2028, threatening water supplies for roughly 40 million people across the American Southwest.
The nation’s two largest reservoirs, Lake Mead and Lake Powell, are continuing to decline at an unsustainable rate despite conservation efforts. Experts point to chronic over-allocation, persistent drought, and rising temperatures as the main drivers, creating an annual structural deficit of approximately 2.6 million acre-feet of water.
With 2026 shaping up to be one of the lowest runoff years on record, another dry year could push the reservoirs toward “run-of-the-river” operations. At that point, they would lose most of their storage capacity and simply pass through whatever water flows in from the river, severely limiting their ability to deliver water or generate hydropower.
This would have major consequences for drinking water, agriculture, and electricity generation in seven U.S. states and parts of Mexico. Researchers describe a “ratchet effect,” in which occasional wet years provide only temporary relief before long-term overuse and climate pressures resume the downward trend. Since peaking in the late 1990s, the two reservoirs have lost a massive share of their combined volume.
Experts stress that avoiding a full collapse will require permanent, significant reductions in water use across the basin, far beyond temporary conservation measures, because natural weather variability can no longer compensate for the system’s deep structural imbalance.

@CTVNews @DavidPylyp I can’t help but think of Herod’s advice to Claudius in “I Claudius”… “Above all Claudius trust no one, not even me”. This seems to me a justification of the @MarkJCarney diversification of Canadian international trade relationships.

@MarkJCarney Given the success of drones in active conflict zones I’m sure many of us armchair warriors are hoping your also investing in and adding Drones to our arsenal to misquote an old soldier and the drones, and the drones, and the drones….

@acoyne Is anyone actually reading the article or in our short attention world do we collectively only get as far as the headline….
@JohnPasalis Canadian Real estate, the Rodney Dangerfield of asset classes, if anyone had read the @globeandmail article they’d ask why move to a financial institution where you won’t qualify instead of refinancing with your own bank @nypost is still the best https://t.co/zhv730aBTQ
