Oh, very cool! I managed to swing a ride on an Oberon-class sub in the early 90's. Not this one, the HMCS Okanagan.
Ontario beach has a giant military submarine that you can go inside
An Ontario locale known for its clean, scenic beach that makes for the perfect summer road trip from Toronto also has some spectacularly cool history…

As you listen to the hatred, propaganda coming out of the Poilievre camp about the PM’s cabinet picks, remember.
Each one of those Ministers WON their seat. Something Poilievre FAILED at. So who is more qualified? #cdnpoli

For those folks who have been waiting to climb the pole and ring the “constitutional crisis” bell, it would appear we have arrived. Neither Judge Sorokin nor Judge Boasberg believed that he was signing a meaningless order, and both judges demanded compliance that never came.
We’ve Officially Entered the Next Phase of Trump’s Dictatorship Era
Taken together, these actions and declarations amount to a significant escalation in Trump’s transformation of his own presidency into an autocracy.

Fun and games in the snow this afternoon. I cut the corner far too tightly and slid off the road. A tow truck and a few minutes of winching and I was back on the road. No injuries, no damage to the car. 😜

No they don’t. Canada and Mexico want none of this. They want the president of the United States to respect and abide by the trade treaty he negotiated with them - and not make up bogus pretexts for plunging us all into a gratuitous no win economic debacle.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Ooof, a new year. Unfortunately, I really don't see a lot improving this year.
Standing up to the oligarchs appears to be fizzling out, as the ruling class would have it, Trump 2.0 The Return® comes into play in three weeks and Canada is probably going to wind up PP as our Prime Minister. Sigh.
