This angle gets me, where he’s just kind of standing there soaking it in, then sees his daughter and smiles, then instantly melts into tears … whew. Hell of a run, 35.

Additionally, @SKAgrologists how do you look at AI driven advice? Will you and AIA make AI take an ethics exam? What happens if a farmer uses FCCs Root system and destroys a crop? Is FCC liable? Have you even considered what this looks like in the coming years?

I would love to learn!

I don’t know anything about this guy but dang it’s nice to read a non partisan concise message from a North American leader. Not us eh bud? @JustinTrudeau

Here's the full statement:

Mexico City, November 26, 2024
Dear President-elect Donald Trump,
I am writing to you regarding your statement on Monday, November 25, concerning migration, fentanyl trafficking, and tariffs.
You may not be aware that Mexico has developed a comprehensive policy to assist migrants from different parts of the world who cross our territory en route to the southern border of the United States. As a result, and according to data from your country’s Customs and Border Protection (CBP), encounters at the Mexico–United States border have decreased by 75% between December 2023 and November 2024. Moreover, half of those who arrive do so through a legally scheduled appointment under the United States’ CBP One program. For these reasons, migrant caravans no longer arrive at the border.

Even so, it is clear that we must work together to create a new labor mobility model that is necessary for your country, as well as address the root causes that compel families to leave their homes out of necessity. If even a small percentage of what the United States allocates to war were instead dedicated to building peace and fostering development, it would address the underlying causes of human mobility.

On another note, and for humanitarian reasons, Mexico has consistently expressed its willingness to help prevent the fentanyl epidemic in the United States from continuing. This is, after all, a public health and consumption problem within your society. So far this year, Mexican armed forces and prosecutors have seized tons of various types of drugs, 10,340 firearms, and have detained 15,640 individuals for violence related to drug trafficking.

Furthermore, the Mexican Congress is in the process of approving a constitutional reform to classify the production, distribution, and commercialization of fentanyl and other synthetic drugs as a serious crime without bail. However, it is publicly known that the chemical precursors used to produce this and other synthetic drugs are illegally entering Canada, the United States, and Mexico from Asian countries. This underscores the urgent need for international collaboration.
You must also be aware of the illegal trafficking of firearms into my country from the United States.

Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours.

President Trump, migration and drug consumption in the United States cannot be addressed through threats or tariffs. What is needed is cooperation and mutual understanding to tackle these significant challenges.
For every tariff, there will be a response in kind, until we put at risk our shared enterprises. Yes, shared. For instance, among Mexico’s main exporters to the United States are General Motors, Stellantis, and Ford Motor Company, which arrived in Mexico 80 years ago. Why impose a tariff that would jeopardize them? Such a measure would be unacceptable and would lead to inflation and job losses in both the United States and Mexico.

I am convinced that North America’s economic strength lies in maintaining our trade partnership. This allows us to remain competitive against other economic blocs. For this reason, I believe that dialogue is the best path to understanding, peace, and prosperity for our nations. I hope our teams can meet soon to continue building joint solutions.

I’m sorry I couldn’t properly lead to this beautiful tribute the @CollegeGameDay put together. Really wanted to thank all of you for the avalanche of love and support you’ve shown Ben. It gives me and my family such comfort knowing how he impacted so many peoples lives around the country. He was a beautiful and loving soul.

[Joel MacDonald @Jmac1417]

This is at the very least a little concerning.

Canadian billionaire Prem Watsa is now the sole owner of Bauer Hockey.
Watsa’s Fairfax Financial Holdings agreed to buy the 51% of Bauer's parent company Peak Achievement Athletics it didn't already own from Sagard Holdings, which is controlled by Montreal’s Desmarais family.
I'm told by two people involved in the sale process that the sale values Bauer at about $1B (Canadian), about 10 times EBITDA.
The hockey equipment industry is growing about 2-3% per year and it's unclear how Fairfax will grow Bauer's revenue.
Bauer had told bidders it has a 50% share of the hockey equipment business, an industry source told me. Fairfax, one of the world’s largest property and casualty insurers, also controls the Sporting Life retail chain and could begin selling Bauer product in those stores.
The sources told me they expect that when the deal closes Bauer will look to cut costs and raise prices of their highest-margin products, particularly composite sticks, and perhaps reduce production of lower-margin products such as shin and elbow pads.
Meantime, rival CCM's private equity owner is still trying to finalize the sale of that hockey equipment company. I've been told by a person involved in that sale that Birch Hill Equity Partners is weighing multiple bids for CCM, including one from Chinese athletic wear company Amer Sports, owner of brands including Arc’teryx, Wilson and Salomon, and another the Swedish private-equity firm Altor Equity Partners.
(CCM market share is about 36%, an industry source told me.)
Birch Hill has told prospective buyers it wanted at least $570M for CCM, more than eight times EBITDA.
A source also said True Hockey is exploring a sale and has told bidders it has a market share of about 5%.

Take a few minutes out of your day to listen to Reggie Jackson talk about the racism he dealt with at Rickwood Field and how hard it is for him to be back there tonight.

Extremely powerful stuff.

The RCMP has publicly released its Freedom Convoy internal review and it's damning for the Liberals.

Officers complained of heavy political pressure, ministers manipulating intelligence for their own ends and discomfort over the Emergencies Act.
