Following a final squadron flyover at the Grey Cup in Calgary on November 15, they will prepare for their final flight next spring, landing at 8 Wing, their last time in the air. IMP Aerospace will work on the decommissioning, with selected airframes slated for museum preservation, static display pedestals, and hands-on maintenance training aids for apprenticesSquadron leaders emphasize that closing this nearly six-decade chapter in Trenton marks a bittersweet milestone for the entire Canadian aviation community.

An Amazon 'science fair' and quashed legislation: A busy day for debate on Trenton data centers - WVXU
Thursday was an eventful day for Trenton's ongoing debate about proposed data centers. Amazon hosted an open house providing information about its proposed tech hub near the Butler County city of about 14,000. Meanwhile, Trenton City Council backtracked on proposals that would have provided financial benefits to residents if voters rejected a charter amendment blocking data centers. Amazon set up a “science fair” in the Edgewood Middle School gym to share details with the community about the proposed 18-building computing facility that would span 600 acres of farmland between Wayne Madison Road and Hawkins Road. Joe Deaton lives in St. Clair Township near the site. After visiting tables with Amazon Web Services representatives discussing various environmental impacts, he says he still isn’t sold on the data center. “We're not opposed to growth. We're not opposed if it was a warehouse or something that doesn't suck your water dry, that won't burn your electric up... [that] won't make all the noise, and when they fire up the generators, all the pollution and everything,” Deaton said. “We just don't want this.”Other people said they felt similarly.

Florida could slash property taxes – but not for Canadian snowbirds - Global News
Voters across the United States will go to polls in the midterm elections on Nov. 3, but Florida voters will also cast their ballots on a question that affects Canadian snowbirds – whether to significantly cut property taxes. The question is a part of a proposal from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to amend the state’s constitution, called Amendment 3. Currently, Florida tax law gives residents or “homesteaders” something called a homestead tax exemption. This cuts up to US$51,411 of taxable value from the assessed value of your home. If the vote passes with a 60 per cent supermajority on Nov. 3, this homestead exemption would be raised to US$150,000 in 2027 and US$250,000 in 2028. Starting in 2029, the value of a Florida resident’s home shielded from tax exemptions will rise automatically every year, with the limit being indexed to inflation.
