''Sam was born in Sicily in 1954, the youngest of five children. His family moved to Canada when he was an infant and he grew up and went to school in east end Toronto," he writes.''He was a wild child and had lots of hair raising adventures he would love to tell us about. It’s no wonder he gravitated to rock and roll early. His first band while still in school was called Hokey Wolf. When he was 16 he quit school and joined his older friends Tony Vincent and Kevin Mulleady in the three piece rock band The Markeys.. For the next 5 or 6 years they played 5 or 6 nights a week, 5 or 6 sets a night in the gruelling Ontario band circuit, going as far north as Sioux Lookout and as far west as Winnipeg where I’m told they opened for Edward Bear. He actually saw those places with chicken wire in front of the stage.advertisement''They played a heavy mix of British blues featuring songs by the Who, the Yardbirds and the Animals. With so many hours and miles under their belts, Sam and Tony became the premier rock rhythm section around. They developed a kind of musical ESP such that each knew instinctively what the other was going to do.

Part 1 (https://lnkd.in/ebQSmHXb) laid out the raw material behind this forecast: a six-OEM market where 1Q26 backlog growth ranges from 43% at Bombardier to roughly flat at Embraer and Textron; a US GDP correlation that only becomes meaningful once measured as growth-on-growth rather than growth-on-level (rising from a meaningless −0.28 to a real 0.50 correlation); and a group of manufacturers telling visibly different stories about their own near-term demand, with Bombardier and Gulfstream building backlog while Textron and Embraer grow revenue through pricing and mix instead of volume. Part 2 turns that raw material into an actual forecast: the three-layer methodology used to build it, why it departs from standard industry practice, and what the resulting 2026-2030 numbers mean for owners, buyers, sellers, and financiers.

Up FrontTwo passengers paid C$567.60 for Business Class on VIA Rail’s Montréal-Québec City route. They got priority boarding, lounge access, meals, and spacious seats. The ride included scenic views after rain cleared, though food was unremarkable and the lounge underwhelming. Originally reported by yourmileagemayvary.com · VIA Rail Business Class From Montréal to Québec City: Was It Worth the Splurge? The 3.5-hour trip offered 1-2 seating, free Wi-Fi, and onboard meal service. Passengers booked single seats front-to-back, stored luggage in end racks, and used overhead space for carry-ons. Beverage service included regional non-alcoholic beer, and lounge access allowed device charging despite crowding and heat. Rain initially obscured views but cleared mid-route. The Québec City station is compact, with a short walk to Old Québec hotels. Business Class passengers boarded via separate escalator access and received baggage verification pre-departure. The experience prioritized comfort over luxury, with functional amenities and minimal frills. Why it mattersPaying extra for Business Class gets you more space, food, and convenience-but not gourmet dining or premium lounge comfort.
