  1. Because my own country has undergone a Fascist coup, I am celebrating a belated Canada Day with "The Twentieth Century" to be followed by some Guy Maddin works.

  2. I unsubscribed on July 2nd from #cbcgem after watching #CBC air unedited feeds of #Trump’s propaganda as well as highlighting an #Alberta #separatist on #canadaday.

    I also don’t appreciate CBC’s decision to withhold all comments on their #YouTube uploads. Comments help hold up-loaders accountable for bad takes.

    Much like CBC’s featured disillusioned #Albertan, I too didn’t celebrate Canada Day this year, as the Prime Minister I was forced to strategically vote for is now fast tracking bills I don’t support while simultaneously capitulating to Trump.

    Mark Carney is also openly supportive of yet another Liberal, federally forced, destructive bitumen pipeline across Northern BC against our province’s consent and ignoring our first nation’s rejection under the guise of “National Interest”, simply to appease a separatist Premier’s threats and fund Trump’s golden dome. This is not my #Canada, this is not my Prime Minister.

  10. “A gripping, beautifully written, well-paced but introspective novel, it is perhaps Buchan’s finest achievement. He based the landscapes and the journey closely on some of his own travels in the northwest as Governor-General of Canada, and the book reflects clearly the immensity and variety not only of Canada’s landscapes but its peoples”

    “Early [1967] video description of the first operational GIS, the Canada GIS. The "father of GIS," Roger Tomlinson is highlighted. It is also an excellent description of how GIS operates today although the technology is considerably more advanced than when CGIS was first developed…”

  16. I will not be sad when motorcycles become quieter electric vehicles. Too many times they have loudly shaken the street I’m on, just to get from point A to point B. My entreaties to make them use mufflers that actually work, have fallen on deaf ears. I wonder why those ears are deaf?

    If we also take out loud sports cars and trucks, then so be it. I would like to hear them become electric vehicles, too. There is already an ad on TV where the one kid is making “Vroom, Vroom,” sounds while the other is making quieter “Woosh,” sounds instead while they are playing with toy cars.

    It’s not just me either. People near highways and expressways can let out a sigh of relief. A sigh that they might actually be able to hear. To a quieter future, I toast.

    If it doesn’t come to pass naturally, I say we legislate riders off of loud motorbikes and onto quieter EVs. If they must use loud motorbikes lets legislate that they only do so on private tracks, far, far away from the public roads that they are currently the scourge of. We could do the same for the trucks and sports cars that also pollute the environment with loud sounds.

    It is the May long weekend, up here in Canada. In my youth, the holiday Monday was simply known as fireworks day. For the longest time it was the only day in the year that fireworks were allowed to be set off. There is Canada Day, now, and Diwali in my city of Kitchener, Ontario, when fireworks are allowed.

    Anyone should know that these days are tough on animals, like dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, horses, monsters, etc. They are even more scary to most animals than big rumbles of thunder.

    It may be more expensive right now, but there is an alternative to fireworks that doesn’t spook animals. It is fleets of lit up drones that can form all sorts of shapes and exciting aerial patterns. Do you like watching airshows? This can be very much like that only with many more participants all across the the sky. These drones fly in relative silence and can do many entertaining things.

    It is my hope that all fireworks will one day be replaced by drone shows. I believe they will one day be cheaper than the fireworks displays. Again, if it doesn’t happen naturally, we can legislate it into effect. To a quieter future, I toast once again.

  17. #VicPD ensuring everyone at #CanadaDay in #VictoriaBC is safe, by using the #bikelane as a parking lot so cyclists have to merge into the car traffic on Government Street beside the legislature. I sure do feel safe.

  18. As today is #Canada Day, there will be a lot of people out gathering with friends and family, and many will be #barbecuing . A friendly reminder...

    When you dress your #burger or #hotdog, skip the #ketchup. Ketchup exists primarily as a way to add #sugar to #savoury dishes minus the social #embarassment. 😜 And it'll #taste better!

  20. Today in 1867, Queen Victoria gives Royal Assent to the British North America Act. The Act will come into place on July 1, establishing the Dominion of Canada through the unification of the Province of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

  21. I don't celebrate #CanadaDay anymore for same reasons my friends in #Australia stopped celebrating #AustralianDay - we won't find joy in celebrations over #colonization & forget the #abuses that are still not fully admitted, #reparations aren't actually happening & #Indigenous #landdefenders still being arrested on their own lands.
