In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Want to feel old? 2075 is as far away from now as today is from the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

as a kid I honestly thought that the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was about something that happened in the 1800s, dying in a maritime disaster on Lake Superior just does not seem like the kind of thing that can happen to people who heard Supertramp on the radio

Alberta, watch what America is doing right now - with their refusal to support funding of the Affordable Care Act.
If Danielle Smith has her way with the medical system, we, too, will be facing $1000s in monthly premiums just to visit doctors.
She wants it that way.

But they need the help, as Canadian media has been virtually silent about this story and thus most Canadians know absolutely nothing about what's going down here.
