Michelle Goth There is always that one dish on the Thanksgiving table – overlooked while the mashed potatoes and gravy steal the spotlight. Surprisingly, this much-maligned side dish has been a part of American tradition for centuries and holds endless possibilities beyond its original purpose, perfectly suited to be reinvented in unexpected ways. Despite its deep roots in Thanksgiving history, this dish remains one of the most polarizing items on the table today. What is this least popular Thanksgiving dish? Cranberry sauce. How cranberry sauce became a Thanksgiving staple Cranberry sauce has been part of American cuisine for centuries. Native Americans used cranberries in cooking and medicine, and early European settlers followed suit, incorporating the berries into sauces and preserves. By the 19th century, cranberry sauce became a Thanksgiving tradition, although recipes varied by region. The introduction of canned cranberry sauce in the 20th century made it even more popular, cementing its spot as an expected accompaniment for Thanksgiving turkey on tables across the country. Those who do enjoy cranberry sauce probably have a strong opinion about what form is acceptable. Some people prefer canned cranberry sauce for its nostalgic jiggle, while others insist that fresh, homemade cranberry sauce is the only way to go. Homemade whole berry sauce is the top choice for many, with its texture and flavor offering something truly special. A 2021 survey by the grocery delivery service Instacart found that cranberry sauce is the least favorite Thanksgiving dish, with 29% of American adults saying they hate it and nearly 50% calling it disgusting. This makes cranberry sauce the most polarizing and the most disliked dish on the Thanksgiving table. Even though it ranks as the least favorite dish, omitting cranberry sauce from the holiday meal is still considered a bit of a Thanksgiving faux pas . Regardless of what kind of cranberry sauce graces the table, its lack of popularity guarantees leftovers. But do not let those leftovers go to waste; there are plenty of creative and delicious ways to use cranberry sauce beyond the Thanksgiving table. Creative uses for leftover cranberry sauce Leftover cranberry sauce? There is no need to despair. Here are some fun, delicious and inventive ways to give those leftovers a new purpose. Cranberry grilled cheese Cranberry sauce is the perfect addition to a grilled cheese sandwich. Layer sharp cheddar or brie cheese, turkey leftovers and a spoonful of cranberry sauce between two slices of sourdough bread. The tart cranberry cuts through the richness of the cheese for a perfectly balanced bite. To feed a crowd, consider making a casserole dish of turkey cranberry sliders with leftover sauce and turkey meat. Cranberry vinaigrette To make a simple salad dressing, grab a mason jar and add a tablespoon of leftover cranberry sauce. Pour in a splash of white balsamic vinegar and an equal portion of olive oil. Add pinches of fresh herbs, salt and pepper. Secure the lid, shake well and drizzle the zesty cranberry vinaigrette over an autumn salad with lettuce, gorgonzola cheese, pecans and dried cranberries. Cranberry BBQ sauce For an easy homemade barbecue sauce, mix leftover cranberry sauce with ketchup or chili sauce, a dash of hot sauce or Worcestershire sauce, and a bit of brown sugar. The result is a tangy barbecue sauce that pairs beautifully with cocktail meatballs , roasted chicken or pork chops. Guests will never guess that the base of your homemade barbecue sauce was the leftover cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving. Cranberry yogurt parfait For a quick breakfast or snack, layer cranberry sauce with vanilla Greek yogurt and granola for a simple yet elegant autumn parfait. The sweetness of the granola and the tanginess of the cranberry sauce make for a great flavor balance. For bonus points, add a drizzle of maple syrup and pecans. Cocktail mixer Yes, cranberry sauce can be used in cocktails. To make a festive drink, shake a generous spoonful of cranberry sauce with vodka, a splash of orange juice and a squeeze of simple syrup. Add ice and a fresh rosemary sprig, and the result is a tart, refreshing cocktail perfect for the holiday season.

To put it mildly, 2024 has been rough on the planet: it was the hottest year on record; catastrophic flooding wreaked havoc on four continents simultaneously; and challenged collaborative net-zero efforts. But despite all that gloom, there are glimmers of hope. are getting cheaper every year — and it’s very possible that there will be across Canada by 2035. Worldwide investment in clean energy exceeded last year. In Europe, the EU Parliament became the first international body to . The cleantech sector also continues to explode — it’s projected to grow to by 2030 — with thousands of startups targeting specific climate issues in surprising and successful ways. Here, five innovative solutions to some very thorny problems. In 2023, torched more than 15 million hectares of land, caused billions of dollars of property damage and displaced thousands of people. But their most catastrophic effect was on the climate: Those fires produced than almost every other country in the world (only the U.S., China and India had higher emissions). They’re also part of an increasingly familiar feedback loop: A warmer planet means bigger, more unpredictable fires; those fires release more carbon; that carbon heats up the planet, which sparks yet more fires. Our best hope may be to stop fires before they start. One solution draws on an age-old approach: sustainable , which involves proactive, strategic in ecosystems — something have been doing for millennia. California-based addresses poor forest management (a major contributor to forest fires) with its custom-built, remote-controlled vehicles that perform safe, precise prescribed burns. Another approach involves thinking on a higher level (literally) — using information collected from satellites and drones to flag wildfires well before they blaze out of control. , based in B.C., uses AI to analyze that data along with information gleaned from ground sensors and eyewitness reports to provide real-time detection. The company’s tools pick up on fires even before there’s smoke, thanks to sensors that can detect various gases that are emitted at a barely smouldering stage. Thwarting three megafires a year could reduce GHG emissions on par with the amount saved by electrifying Canada’s entire transportation sector, says founder and CEO Hamed Noori. “[The latter] isn’t going to happen within 20 years, but preventing a megafire now” would have immediate effects. SenseNet systems can already be found across hot spots in B.C., Alberta and California, and the firm is currently in discussions with utility and mining companies — as well as the government of Ontario, which is considering installing the systems in provincial parks. Capturing excess carbon dioxide is a crucial part of getting to net zero, but you need to something with those trapped emissions. There are currently two options: store the carbon (which is complicated and can be costly) or turn it into something else. Although repurposing carbon is also a complex process, it is becoming increasingly attractive — and achievable. The key is leveraging electrochemical processes to use the C from CO2 in new molecules, such as calcium carbonate (a mineral compound found in concrete and antacids) or ethylene (a hydrocarbon gas that is the base chemical in pharmaceuticals, textiles, solvents and countless other consumer products). You can now find captured carbon used to make everything from building materials to and . Much of this innovation has been driven by the , which has awarded more than $500 million to international teams developing new uses for converted carbon. In 2020, Toronto’s was named an XPrize finalist thanks to its unique method for turning CO2 into ethylene. Converting captured carbon can be energy-intensive, and it can inadvertently produce yet more CO2. “Currently the world produces around 200 megatonnes of ethylene,” says Christine Gabardo, CERT’s co-founder and CTO, “and for every tonne produced, one to two tonnes of CO2 is emitted.” As she points out, CERT’s proprietary low-energy electrochemical process has the potential to significantly mitigate emissions. Beyond ethylene, the company plans to apply its tech to create other chemicals, such as ethanol and syngas, which can be used in sustainable airline fuel. The construction industry and the buildings it creates are notoriously carbon intensive, accounting for a staggering of global GHG emissions. Even striving for something close to the climate targets established in the Paris Agreement means the industry must achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The good news is that there are many options to help get there. standards shrink a building’s carbon footprint by relying on maximum insulation, airtight building envelopes and triple-glazed windows that more efficiently absorb or reflect the sun’s heat. Other tools — like Toronto-based ’s AI-powered, — help tackle energy consumption. , meanwhile, has become the sustainable material of choice for new buildings — swapping in wood for concrete and steel can cut embodied emissions by as much as 25 per cent, while significantly reducing construction timelines. This past year, like so many other far too many places in the world, Toronto experienced devastating flooding that highlighted the imminent danger of climate change as well as the inadequacy of existing adaptive strategies. The relatively predictable weather patterns of the past are no longer a reliable basis for future planning. But what if those weather patterns were just one data point in a set that also included metrics about how quickly floods overtake specific roadways, commuting and work patterns and analyses of traffic congestion during an evacuation? That’s the sort of information that informs the AI-powered 3D digital models created by Edmonton-based . The company has built digital twins of more than 200 cities around the world, all designed to help communities envision how to handle a host of , including natural disasters, shifting energy technologies, new immigration policies and public health crises. Its models are updated with fresh data to reflect whatever is happening around the world (like, say, a global pandemic), which provides municipalities and organizations with “a brilliant sandbox for gaming their way out,” as CEO Myrna Bittner puts it. She has seen a range of reactions to that sandbox: some cities promptly make necessary investments, some receive confirmation of what they’ve known all along, others take a long time to process the information. Because planners haven’t had this kind of access to this kind of data before, she says, “we’ve been crap at planning for the future,” she says. But with the advent of models that provide “experimental glimpses” into what lies ahead, the question becomes: What actions will users take once they gaze into this crystal ball? It’s a cleantech conundrum: you need a ton of capital to commercialize a solution — but to land that capital, you must prove that your solution is scalable. For First of a Kind (FOAK) technologies, this chicken-and-the-egg situation can be especially tricky. Although a massive amount of capital is required, it’s ironically not massive enough for many traditional investors: often a FOAK project might be seeking $30 million, while cleantech ventures in established industries like wind and solar deal in sums of $500 million or $1 billion. Of course, it’s also understandably difficult to find backing for high-risk technologies that have only been proven at lab or pilot scale if you’re looking to scale by a factor of 10 or 20. “You need a layer that can absorb more of the risk than traditional private lenders,” says Leah Perry, senior manager of cleantech at MaRS, who recommends that FOAK ventures approach fundraising with the same creativity and flexibility they use to build out their tech. Traditional forms of project financing may not be as productive as options within the public sector, or non-profits like Prime Coalition that raise so-called catalytic capital (aka first-loss financing) through philanthropic sources. The most successful FOAK ventures, Perry adds, are those that can show a relatively quick ROI. “If your innovation is just solving a climate problem, it’s a very hard sell,” Perry says. “But most clean technologies are not just solving a climate problem, they’re also saving costs through energy or resources.”Analysis: After Juan Soto's megadeal, could MLB see a $1 billion contract?

Stock market today: Wall Street slips to a rare back-to-back lossThe US tech giant said it now supported 550,000 jobs in the UK through direct employment, its supply chain and the economy around its App Store – with app developers having earned nearly £9 billion since it launched in 2008. Apple said its engineering teams were carrying out critical work on the firm’s biggest services, including key technology within Apple Intelligence, the iPhone maker’s suite of generative AI-powered tools which are expected to launch in the UK for the first time this week. Elsewhere, the firm said its growing TV empire, spearheaded by its Apple TV+ streaming service and production arm, had also helped boost its investment in the UK with Apple TV+ production in this country tripling in the last two years, the company said. Chief executive Tim Cook said: “We’ve been serving customers in the UK for more than 40 years, and we’re proud of our deep connection with communities across this country. “We’re thrilled to be growing our Apple teams here, and to keep supporting the extraordinary innovators, creators, and entrepreneurs who are pushing the boundaries of technology in so many ways.” The Chancellor Rachel Reeves said companies such as Apple were “intrinsic” to the UK’s prosperity by boosting jobs. “This government is laser focused on creating the right conditions for growth to help put more money in people’s pockets. “That’s what underpins the Plan for Change and is what has driven £63 billion worth of inward investment in the UK through our first international investment summit. “Companies like Apple are intrinsic to the success of our nation’s prosperity – helping deliver jobs, innovative technology, and boost infrastructure.”
Marvell Announces Breakthrough Custom HBM Compute Architecture to Optimize Cloud AI AcceleratorsApple’s UK engineering teams have ‘doubled in size in five years’Article content Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax has become such a stink bomb to Liberal fortunes everywhere that even Ontario Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie is now denouncing it. Recommended Videos As she put it at a Liberal fundraiser on Tuesday night, as reported by the Toronto Star : “I’m not here to tell the prime minister how to do his job. But I promise you, I will tell him when he’s wrong. Like on the carbon tax.” That was in response to months of Ontario Premier Doug Ford and the Progressive Conservatives labelling her as “the Queen of the Carbon Tax” because, they said, of her previous support for it when she was a Liberal MP, plus describing her “as one of the only provincial Liberal leaders in Canada who won’t speak out against the carbon tax.” Crombie had previously pledged not to introduce a provincial carbon tax if she becomes premier. While taking her at her word, her problem in terms of credibility is the history of Ontario and federal Liberals saying one thing and doing another when it comes to carbon taxes. During the 2014 Ontario election that brought her predecessor as Ontario Liberal leader, Kathleen Wynne, to power, Wynne said nothing about imposing a provincial carbon tax on Ontarians. Shortly after her victory, she said she had no plans to introduce a carbon tax Then she introduced cap-and-trade, another form of a carbon tax. Prior to the 2019 federal election, then Liberal environment minister Catherine McKenna said the Liberals wouldn’t raise their carbon tax beyond $50 per tonne of emissions in 2022. After the 2019 election, in which the Liberals were reduced from a majority to a minority government, Trudeau announced he would raise the federal carbon tax every year after 2022 until it reached $170 per tonne of emissions in 2030. The Trudeau Liberals have claimed for years that the rebate system under their carbon tax leaves 80% of families paying it with more money in their pockets than they pay in carbon taxes. Independent, non-partisan Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux subsequently pointed out that this was true if one considered only the fiscal impact of the carbon tax. But if you added in its drag on the Canadian economy, plus the fact the Liberal rebate system doesn’t return revenue generated by their imposition of the GST on top of the carbon tax to Canadians, 60% of families ended up with less money in their pockets every year. Trudeau says he introduced his carbon tax as an alternative to less efficient and more expensive ways to reduce emissions such as government regulations and government subsidies. But in addition to his carbon tax, Trudeau has introduced costly clean fuel, clean electricity and methane regulations, along with a cap on oil and gas emissions, in addition to multi-billion subsidies to the private sector to create a supply chain for electric vehicles in Canada. In reality, there are 149 government programs aimed at reducing emissions to which the Trudeau Liberals have earmarked more than $200 billion. Finally the Trudeau Liberals said no political considerations went into the creation of their carbon tax. But Gudie Hutchings, Trudeau’s minister for rural economic development and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, said last year that if provinces like Alberta wanted special deals to defray the costs of carbon pricing as they had just announced for Atlantic Canada, “Perhaps they need to elect more Liberals on the Prairies so that we can have that conversation, as well.”

Prince George gearing up to host BC Special Olympics
Real Madrid's big stars turned on the style to revive the Spanish giant's faltering Champions League title defense on Tuesday. Galacticos Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham all scored in a thrilling 3-2 win at Italian league leader Atalanta. But Madrid still had to ride its luck as Mateo Retegui fired over from in front of goal in stoppage time when handed a golden chance to level the game. It was only Madrid's third win in the competition's revamped league phase and leaves the 15-time champion in the unseeded playoff positions in 18th place. Mbappe was substituted off before halftime with an apparent physical issue. Six-time champion Liverpool leads the way after maintaining its perfect record in Europe this season with a 1-0 win against Girona. Like Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain also picked up a much-needed win, beating Salzburg 3-0 to sit in the last playoff spot in 24th place. Bayer Leverkusen is second after a 1-0 win over Inter Milan, while Aston Villa beat Leipzig 3-2 and is third. Brest is one of this season's surprise packages on its Champions League debut and is fifth after beating PSV Eindhoven 1-0. Mohamed Salah’s 50th Champions League goal maintained Liverpool’s perfect record in the competition this season. The Egypt forward struck a 63rd minute penalty to seal the win in Spain that kept Liverpool atop the 36-team league. But even after a sixth straight win for the Merseyside club, head coach Arne Slot was critical of his players in a game that saw goalkeeper Alisson pull off several saves to keep Girona out. “If you ask me about all the six games, I’m really pleased with all the results, I am really pleased with the five (other) games with the way we played. I’m far from pleased about the performance tonight,” he said. Salah’s goal was his 16th in 22 appearances overall this season. Girona was 30th with just one win from six games. “I almost feel sorry for them because they deserved so much more in this Champions League campaign than the three points they have until now. But we have an incredible goalkeeper,” Slot said. Even after Slot’s criticism, Liverpool continued its outstanding start to the campaign, which also led it the top of the Premier League. Former Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek handed Salah the chance to fire the visitors ahead with a clumsy tackle from behind on Luis Diaz in the box. Salah stepped up to convert the penalty and Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga went the wrong way. Liverpool’s two remaining games are against Lille at home and PSV Eindhoven away in January. U.S. international Christian Pulisic is the only player to have scored against Liverpool in this season’s Champions League in a 3-1 loss for Milan in September. Bayern Munich routed Shakhtar Donetsk 5-1 to move into the automatic qualifying positions for the round of 16. Michael Olise scored twice as Bayern came back from going 1-0 down inside five minutes to a goal from Brazilian winger Kevin. Sporting Lisbon couldn’t build on taking a third-minute lead at Club Brugge — losing 2-1 in Belgium. Dinamo Zagreb drew 0-0 with Celtic and both teams remain in the playoff positions.
