His injuries from 1918 left his legs and left arm with limited mobility. In 1924, he became the acting director of the RCAF. After he left the RCAF, he became the first honorary president of the Toronto Maple Leafs. In his last years, he struggled with alcoholism.

Wounded and bleeding, he crash-landed inside Allied lines after shooting down four planes. Barker was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions. Still recovering, he could barely walk a few paces to receive his medal at Buckingham Palace on March 1, 1919.

My parents gave @wizardofdocs.bsky.social and I a little money to start a savings account after the wedding and trying to find a bank that doesn't invest in fossil fuels and has a local location is terrifying.

Canadians will count and recount ballots as often as necessary to be confident in election results.
I just didn’t expect to be doing it over minerals??

Full audit complete. The final margin was just 9 votes.
The ballot-stuffing is frustrating to undo, hides the excitement of close margins or frantic comebacks, and steals glory from the coolness of these minerals.
