As a former RCAF maintainer, with procurement experience, these vague statements of ‘concern’ lead me to believe that the Snowbirds won’t last 3 more years. The end of an era is coming.

The Minister just wants to “get them a better plane”. But F18s don’t really make sense to operate just for airshows when F35s are coming. I feel that jets are so costly, and so few, that the days of dedicating more than one airframe to demonstration of just not gonna fly.

Unfortunately, The Honorable Leader of HM Official Opposition Mr Polievre is quite likely to sleepwalk into a job as Canada’s next Prime Minister. The current PM is so reviled by Canadians (according to polls - a type of lie know as Statistics), it seems possible that no one in the Liberal Party will be successful in the next election. I’m ashamed to say it’s a good time to be an ex-pat.

It appears that Norway has little sea ice in territorial waters: wikipedia link. Still, they might be interested in projecting influence into the Arctic region, no?

Vigorous shaking mixes the thicker areas (where the sauce has settled) and the thinner (more watery) areas so they now have the same viscosity (pouring characteristics). Most importantly, this lets the mass of sauce slide cleanly down the bottle, helping the air bubble to also slide up in one unit at the same time, preventing the “air-lock” blockage at the opening. Important Note: Before vigorously shaking any container, ensure that the cap is truly secured! Now you are in control!

In keeping with their embrace and transformation of The Blues, Led Zeppelin lyrics are hopeful in the face of sadness.

I am looking forward to the anxious and exciting frisson of waiting for Monday, when the Edmonton Oilers will lift “the hardest trophy to win in professional sports”, the coveted Stanley Cup, to trophy of the NHL! Meanwhile, the hopes of me and my fellow Canucks may well be dashed before the weekend barely gets started.

Well said. He definitely gave Canada a good name. He truly seemed to give every role his best effort. He will be remembered fondly.

I have long known that plastic “recycling” in less-developed countries meant bury or burn. Now it is becoming apparent that the same applies to developed countries too. Six percent actually recycled is worse than a joke, due recyclers’ contribution to micro plastic pollution. Waste-to-energy is the only way we’ll ever get a handle on the problem. Hopefully the dioxin-like byproducts will kill fewer of us than micro plastics themselves.
