Today is a day to honour those that paid the ultimate sacrifice, so I was heartened to see so many people attend the Remembrance Day ceremony in Esquimalt, BC, Canada.
May we learn from the past, and never let our fallen's sacrifices go in vain.

Pausing on Remembrance Day to honour all those that served and sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today. Always remember the Canadians and Allied Forces who stood, and stand, for freedom, and never take that for granted.

Tonight was military appreciation night at the @victoriaroyals.bsky.social game which was supported by Babcock Canada. It was great to see people out to support the @royalcanadiannavy.bsky.social and @canadianforces.bsky.social. The Royals won too!

Just saw this beauty, C-GSIV, at Royal Jubilee Hospital. The Leonardo Helicopters AW169 is the newest #HEMS air ambulance platform in Canada, and is delivering life saving services across British Columbia. It is leased by Babcock Canada and operated by Ascent Helicopters.

Great to see the Leonardo Aeronautics M346 in Canada! This is the only one on the continent at the moment, but there is much potential for Canada's FFLIT project, and for the US Navy. Canada, USA and 13 other countries are training on it at #IFTS in Italy.

It was wonderful to be invited by Airbus Helicopters for MDays. A great opportunity to hear updates about their robust defence and paramilitary portfolio. Can you name the aircraft in this picture?

Wonderful to see HMCS Corner Brook (SSK 878) back home today from Operation LATITUDE. The two-month mission had the submarine operate in the Alaskan Theatre of Operations which includes the Northern Pacific and Western Arctic.

A significant day in the history of the Royal Canadian Navy today as it pays off the first Kingston-class Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels. Decommissioned are (L to R): Saskatoon (709), Brandon (710) and Whitehorse (705).

Episode 94 of Go Bold has retired USAF Colonel Jim Cardoso, who flew the legendary MH-53 Pave Low. He was part of the rescue package that flew behind enemy lines to bring home Vega 31 — the pilot of a downed F-117A stealth fighter shot down over Serbia.

Wonderful to see USCGC Eagle arrive in Victoria, BC, Canada today. The ship is attached to the US Coast Guard Academy, and is used as a training cutter for future officers of the US Coast Guard.

Welcome to Canada and Go Bold!

My congratulations to the Royal Canadian Navy's newest Rear-Admiral, David Mazur. He is a true professional and one of the best leaders in Canada!

Go Bold, Sir!

I was honoured to attend todays ceremony for Battle Honours awarded to HMCS Vancouver for its participation in Operation MOBILE in 2011.

This represents one of the highest distinctions awarded to a combat unit, recognizing courageous and dedicated service in active operations against an armed enemy
HMCS Vancouver is seen on 2 July 2025 in North Vancouver. The ship was awarded Battle Honours for Operation MOBILE which took place in and around Libya in 2011.

HMCS Corner Brook is stealthy even when surfaced!

The sub recently took part in Exercise Trident Fury 2025, and is currently in Vancouver for Fleet Week 2025 (although not open for tours).

Subs are strategic assets and are a critical element of a globally deployed Navy.

HMCS Corner Brook, a Victoria class submarine of the Royal Canadian Navy is seen in North Vancouver on 2 July 2025. The sub is hard to see even when surfaced, but particularly so with the dark backdrop of this image.

It was an absolute honour to sail with Royal Canadian Navy Commodore David Mazur, the Commander of Canadian Fleet Pacific.

We were at sea in the Eastern Pacific for Exercise Trident Fury 2025 #ETF25.

Fun fact: I first sailed with the Commodore during ETF06!

It was a great privilege to be embarked aboard the Royal Canadian Navy warship HMCS Regina during Exercise Trident Fury 2025 - #ETF25.

My thanks to all those that made my time at sea professionally enriching and informative. Check out our YouTube for much more!

A wonderful 30th Anniversary celebration for HMCS Calgary was held in Victoria today. In attendance were City of Calgary representatives, the ships crew and senior officers of the Royal Canadian Navy.

HMCS Calgary was commissioned on 12 May 1995.

Great to see HMCS Calgary, a Halifax-class warship of the Royal Canadian Navy, back with the Navy after a 2-year Docking Work Period. The ship sports a new paint scheme (on left) and is currently in the process of being reactivated.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Marc Garneau, a former Royal Canadian Navy combat systems engineer, Canadian Space Agency astronaut, and Member of Canada's Parliament.

He was the first Canadian to go into space, flying on three separate Space Shuttle missions.

May he Rest in Peace.

Thrilled to share this angle of the new jetty at CFB Esquimalt. I love the scale perspective of the Halifax class and the Harry DeWolf class (right).

The shape of the CF-104 Starfighter is simply exquisite!

This aircraft served with the Royal Canadian Air Force and was built in Canada by Canadair under licence from Lockheed.
