A national strategy for clean energy would be ideal but a pipe dream, hope our Candu technology doesn’t die off forever

Next 2 weeks every day above freezing except for 2 days no sled yet, no rush ….. yet OPG decided on an American SMR reactor for Darlington ( GE Hitachi ) disappointed its not a Candu but we don’t have a real SMR design anyway hope we get to build some Candu EC6s in the near future to power Canada !

Glad that golden griddle is long gone, that place use to be busy every weekend when it was on its own ,hope things turn around with new restaurant

Snowing right now in Kitchener, glad I got the Xmas lights up yesterday Calling for 12 C Wednesday but still nice to see it coming down

Reid, As we communicated a few weeks ago, we are working diligently to build and ship 2022 SnowCheck snowmobiles at our Roseau, Minnesota plant. We have been working through supply chain challenges, and we wanted to provide an update on your estimated SnowCheck shipment timing. As of today, we still expect your snowmobile, and any delayed components, to ship from Polaris by December 15th. We will continue to provide updates in the coming months as the build schedule and component availability evolves. We will send you an email notification when your sled ships if it complete and ready to ride. If it has delayed components, we will send you an email notification when those final delayed components ship. We greatly appreciate your passion and loyalty as a SnowCheck customer, and your understanding in this dynamic environment, and please know we are doing everything we can to deliver your sled as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding. - The Polaris Team still looking ok so far

Disappointing

When you buy your snowmobile trail permit for the upcoming season, it will cost you $5.00 more than last year. It’s the first time in three years that the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs has raised the price. CEO Ryan Eickmeier says the number of permits sold last year increased by about 15%. “And the increased demand on the trail network obviously demands increased grooming, increased infrastructure and trail maintenance,” he adds. Those three years without an increase occurred while costs kept climbing. “We’re conservatively looking at about a $400,000 in revenue as a result of the permit increase,” Eickmeier outlines, “and all of that money has already been committed back into the trail network.” OFSC members are responsible for 30,000 km of trails. That’s roughly three-quarters of the way around the Equator. NEW TRAIL PERMIT PRICES Seasonal Permit (model year 2000 or newer) Purchased prior to November 2, 2021: $195 Purchased November 2, 2021 to December 1, 2021: $225 December 2, 2021 onwards: $275. Classic Permit (model year 1999 or older) Purchased prior to November 2, 2021: $155 Purchased November 2, 2021 to December 1, 2021: $155 December 2, 2021 onwards: $185

Fingers crossed it doesn’t get cancelled

I sat through a webinar last week with hybrid power designs for the "future".........some nuclear with wind, solar and natural gas back up as a top up. Everyone wants zero C02 yet they want to still have diesel or natural gas as a backup/top up......seems foolish IMO So in theory on nights where there is no wind you would be using nuclear and the fossil fuel generators.....why not use a bigger nuclear power source and drop the generator?? >50% of Ontario is CANADIAN nuclear power, it is disappointing they don't build more of the same proven technology. Other countries seem more interested in using CANDU technology than Canada. Yea sure the upfront price may have a sting to it but divide it out over 50-60 years and its pretty economical for reliable power. Again IMO. I think BRP is doing the right thing to invest now in EV technology, i suspect its more towards CanAm vehicles focus over Ski Doo but who knows.

Darlington shouldn’t be shut down anytime soon we just refurbished unit 2 and now starting unit 3 unit 2 is back online making power for another 25-30 yrs Pickering keeps getting extended but will be decommissioned eventually We are also starting the refurbishment of unit 6 at Bruce Power. both Darlington and Bruce have expressed interest in new builds ontario knows it need to replace the power from Pickering but no clear direction yet

was going to wait until I had it to share colour pic but everyone is posting build pics so here is my new one.

Lookn good Nunz

Thank you Snowtrax tv for showing my snow check order on the snow...... it looks pretty sweet IMO
