Adam Waterous made a mint in the oil patch as a banker and lately as a guy who built the 5th largest oil producer in Canada from scratch. Here's a twist: the oil tycoon wants to build a clean-tech train to Banff. Can you be eco — and pro-oil? Hmmm... financialpost.com/feature/how-oi…

Fun fact: There is a nuclear reactor purring away at McMaster University, a stone's throw from a residential neighbourhood. And locals aren't freaking out about it. Nukes can get us to net-zero, and get the West off Russian energy. Time to power up? financialpost.com/feature/nuclea…

West end scenes, Vol 1: Garbage truck rumbles past daycare, driver joyfully blaring horn. The tots come running. Screaming. It is Beatlemania, only better. Nothing quite like garbage day for a 3-year-old. Remember? Trucks were yellow, I think, in my day. #garbage
