**The problem with heritage** These buildings are all wood, contained by weak brick. Montreal is as bad an earthquake zone as anywhere in the world, and the old city is all on soft soil. The alternative, as with Toronto, is to tear them all down, leave the brick facade, put a lot of steel in, raise the foundations on screw piles, and install sprinklers. Sadly, this does something to the genteel aura of decay.

Snow as high as an elephant's eye...
**An exciting debate** This is something, that I, as an old white male, have nothing to say about. However, I am always forecasting the future, and I think that all 'female exclusions' are doomed. They will be flooded with testosterone males, who identify as female. That's just a fact, I have no opinion.
#physics #weather **NOAA world temp plot** I can't say what I really think, the stalkers are killing people...

Note the 'official projection' that everybody uses when they say 'We're all going to die." That gives lots of money to the influencers.
Descended from Unix freaks, I evolved to Linux. Some people might consider me old at 60+, but I'm suing the world to get my age down to 30.
I have a blog https://ontario-geofish.blogspot.com/
and it is read by 8 people. My formal education is in an extinct branch of science called geophysics. Since there was no money in it, I went to engineering. I've done tunnels, radwaste thingies, etc.
