This used to be house with a wood shingle roof.
It just went “poof”
Scary as hell. Fortunately the residents survived. It all happened so incredibly quickly.

The Longest Day

~by Iron Maiden

Sliding we go, only fear on our side
To the edge of the wire and we rush with the tide
Oh, the water is red with the blood of the dead Oh, but I'm still alive, pray to God I survive

God of our fathers, known of old—
Lord of our far-flung battle-line—
Beneath whose awful Hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine—
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget!

Les Premières Nations au combat en Europe First Nations in the European War es peuples amérindiens, présents avant la conquête coloniale, composent ce qui est appelé au Canada les "Premières Nations". Même parmi ceux qui étaient exemptés de conscription par traité, beaucoup d'autochtones ont choisi de s'engager afin de se battre en Europe, à l'image de leurs pères ou oncles pendant la Première guerre mondiale. he Native American people, who made I Canada their home before the aria of the Europeans, are known in Canada as the "First Nations". Even among those who were exempted from conscription by treaty, many First Nations people volunteered to fight in Europe, following in the footsteps of their fathers or uncles during the First World War. Des combattants amérindiens en Europe Native American Combatants in Europe Les réglements stricts de la RCAF et de la RCN privilégiant les ascendances européennes et même britanniques pour la Marine, interdisent aux Amérindiens de rejoindre ces forces au début de la guerre. Aussi, dans leur quasi totalité, les engagés votontaires amérindiens ou métis s'enôlent-its dans l'armée de terre et principalement l'infanterie, très demandeuse de soldats. Le projet d'unités exclusivement composees d'autochtones n'a jamais été réalisé : les autochtones sengagent alors dans les régiments de leur région : le Lake Superior Scottish Regiment, le Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, le Calgary Highlands, le Loyal Edmonton Regiment, le South Saskatchewan Regiment, le Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment, le Royal Hamilton Light Infantry, le Regina Rifles et le Royal Winnipeg Rifles. Une contribution remarquabla Pour nombre d'entre eux, leurs faibles aptitudes à écrire ou lire sont habilement compensées par des compétences sur le terrain acquises par la pratique de la trappe. La furtivité et la dissimulation s'avèrent des techniques bien utiles pour les missions d'éclaireurs et le tir d'élite: les embuscades deviennent un style de combat. O…

From another post I just saw
Sharan Kaur @msSharanKaur • 5h Been speaking to a lot of CPC insiders and MPs who say @PierrePoilievre keepers are threatening to ruin anyone thinking of crossing the floor - digging up personal dirt, blackmail, the works. For a party that preaches "freedom," they sure act like thugs. Pretty disgusting.

There’s so many good things!

This right here is huge!!

In my opinion anyways… time to pay up.

I’m kind of hoping they are going to install some state of art software program to also improve Revenue Canada’s productivity.
5.3 A More Efficient Tax System A robust and efficient tax system is what allows the government to support Canadians, protect the essential services they rely on, and build major infrastructure and millions of homes. Budget 2025 proposes new measures to protect the integrity and improve the efficiency of Canada's tax system. Protecting the Integrity of the Tax System Budget 2025 proposes new measures to protect the integrity of Canada's tax system, promote a level playing field for taxpayers, and address abusive tax practices. These tax integrity measures are expected to collectively increase federal revenues by hundreds of millions of dollars. • To improve tax fairness, Budget 2025 proposes to amend the Income Tax Act to limit the deferral of refundable tax on investment income through the use of tiered corporate structures with staggered year ends, for taxation years that begin on or after Budget Day. • To ensure that Canadian multinational insurers do not avoid tax on their Canadian insurance business by operating through a foreign subsidiary, Budget 2025 proposes to amend the Income Tax Act to clarify that income derived from assets held by a foreign affiliate of a Canadian insurance company that support Canadian insurance risks is taxable in Canada.
