  1. Somebody loves me!

    New coffee table book, "in the mood of Doug."

    As a #CivilEngineer fanboy I say never let a catastrophic failure go to waste, and these authors follow that precept. :-)

  2. Doug Barrett, as another $1 thrift store pen, an unnamed Sheaffer <m>. Yes, he deserves better, something pricey and chunky. Something that people respect. But he came with Lao, so what can I say? At least he's all metal. Handles any ink I throw at him, so let's go!

    End of thread (for now)

  8. DOUG EARLE APPOINTED CEO OF WRHN

    After a 30-year career in fundraising Doug Earle has taken the role as the first CEO of the Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN) Foundation as it begins to fundraise for the new hospital campus scheduled to open in 2035.   

    The WRHN Foundation was established in May 2025 following the merger of St. Mary’s Hospital and Grand River Hospital and their respective foundations.  

    Earle was announced as CEO on Oct. 29, 2025, and will lead the foundation’s fundraising efforts for its three existing facilities and the new hospital campus located in the David Johnston Research + Technology Park at the University of Waterloo’s North Campus.  

    Before joining the WRHN Foundation, Earle was the CEO of the West Park Healthcare Centre Foundation in Toronto where he led fundraising for the hospital’s new building that opened in 2023. It was the tenth building that Earle had led the fundraising effort, but he joked that he still had the itch to work on another project.  

    “I’m not a maintainer, I’m a builder. I was looking for a new challenge, and this new hospital building is quite exciting to be a part of,” he said.  

    While it is not his first hospital project, it does hold a special meaning.  

    “I’ve never actually been at the beginning of a new building project. That’s my goal this time. To be here while we’re just starting the design, and I hope to be there when the staff move in,” Earle said.  

    The initial planning and application phase of the new hospital was completed this year with a $15 million contribution from the province. The WRHN is now actively working with the province to receive approval to move into the design phase, which will take two years to finalize.  

    The province funds 100 per cent of the design and planning phase, and 90 per cent of the construction costs. The WRHN Foundation and local governments are responsible for the construction phase’s remaining 10 per cent and all required equipment and infrastructure.   

    “If we get the go ahead in the spring budget, it’ll be about three years before the walls go up. Then it takes about two years for all the electrical work and quality testing. That’s when we would take possession, probably 2031, and our first payment would be due,” he said.  

    The second payment would be due in 2034, but before that, the WRHN Foundation will need to start fundraising for equipment in 2030.  

    “That’s about $30 million a year; it’s a lot of dollars,” he said.  

    Fundraising for the new hospital does not mean that new equipment and programs are on hold at WRHN’s Midtown, Queen St., and Chicopee campuses. One of the campaigns Earle is working on is to bring neurosurgery back to the Waterloo Region.  

    “We have not had a neurosurgeon for well over a decade. If you’re having an aneurysm and you’re in the ER, you know time is short. Right now, you have to go to McMaster, which is another hour of not getting treatment. We’ve submitted a plan to the Ministry of Health and we’re waiting to hear back,” Earle said.  

    Once approved, the WRHN Foundation will fund renovations at WRHN Midtown to support neurosurgery.  

    “We can run neurosurgery at Midtown for another ten years and then move all the equipment to the new hospital when it opens.”  

    Whether it is one-time or monthly donations, Earle said this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make an investment in healthcare.   

    “We’re the fastest growing region in the country and will be over a million people in ten years. The one thing that’s been consistent is the care and passion of our staff and the delivery of quality care. Now we have an opportunity to give them a building that is designed for them to deliver the best quality care possible,” Earle said.

  13. Doug Burgum Now Has 90 Days to Hand Over the Boundary Waters to a Foreign Mining Company

    For background, see this post.

    This per curiam order dropped yesterday. The case before the DC Circuit Court of Appeals is held in abeyance until mid-October. The Court deferred to the Agency.

    Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum now has 90 days to act on the findings of an “agency review” of the Twin Metals matter.

    According to Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, the review was already “complete” by June 13th, which just happened to be one day after the Senate struck Stauber’s Boundary Waters giveaway from the budget bill (see the 13 June update to this post).

    No surprise, Interior already determined (only a fool would think it had not decided well in advance of the review) that the 20-year Rainy River watershed mineral withdrawal put in place by the Biden administration was unnecessary.

    Here is the order.

    Abeyance Granted 16 July 25Download
