I've gone to them each year for the past decade, or so, and quite enjoyed them. They can vary a bit from year to year depending on the speakers. There are videos of several of the past speakers online. For instance https://www.ivey.uwo.ca/bengrahaminvesting/resources/video-library/ The online format is new for them. So, it'll be interesting to see how they handle it. (The networking and side meetings were really good in the past but, alas, probably won't happen this year.) If cost isn't an issue, I'd go for sure. But it's mostly an industry thing for those who can write off / expense the cost. It'd be a harder decision for retail investors of modest means. The later group might want to wait till next year for the full experience.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/cansortium-inc-announces-management-agreement-200300423.html "substantial issuer bid .. the Offer would be for approximately 4.0% of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares .. via modified Dutch auction ... (i) auction tenders in which they will specify the number of Shares being tendered at a price of not less than $650.00 and not more than $750.00 per Share in increments of $5.00 per Share, or (ii) purchase price tenders in which they will not specify a price per Share, but will rather agree to have a specified number of Shares purchased at the purchase price to be determined by auction tenders."

Almost 200 years at this point.

Keep in mind that Paul will likely have to do many unpalatable things at Torstar to have a chance of stopping the red ink. A bunch of them, like firing workers, will eat cash. The required repair job would likely have significant negative publicity value if FFH bought it instead - and the results probably wouldn't move the needle at FFH. There is a reason why Buffett got out of the liquidation business. I wish Paul the best of luck in his new endeavor.

Fairfax Announces Changes to Annual Meeting: Webcast only

Norm, If only Fairfax was as proactive as you regarding this situation we would all be better off. Thank-you for your efforts! Prem....stop hiding and provide an update on the annual meeting. You know you have to cancel the RTH festivities. Just do it! Thanks, BP6 An announcement from FFH will be released shortly.

The Ivey events have been postponed to 2021 .

Roy Thomson Hall is closing for at least two weeks due to virus concerns. The government of Canada is advising against non-essential travel. I hate to say it - and I don't know for sure - but there is a real chance that the Fairfax Lollapalooza 2020 schedule will change dramatically. If you spot a schedule change, please let me know and I'll update this page. May you and yours enjoy good health in the months and years to come.

A little bump up as the details start to come together.

Thanks, the YYX event is likely a go according to James, but the website isn't ready yet. So, I took the link down while correcting the 11 to 16 issue.
