    The #CCG has an enormous job covering the world's longest coastline: over 243,000 km of coast and 5.3 million square km of water. Unlike many other nations, the Canadian Coast Guard has no military, naval, or law enforcement duties. On an average day, the CCG coordinates multiple search and rescue operations, saving roughly 13 to 15 lives daily. All with only 6,700+ staff plus 4,000 volunteers in the CCG Auxiliary.

    This week PM Carney announced the building of 6 new #Icebreakers for the #CCG - Canadian Coast Guard services. In commemorate that event I think we need a #CCG_Week full of #History , facts and stories about this important department. The CCG was officially announced in 1962, although many of its responsibilities were handled by various ministries dating back to 1867. Fasten your life jackets for the week ahead.

    The long range forecast for the eastern half of Canada reports that we can expect a longer fall and a delayed start to winter. That means plenty of time for a #RoadTrip and some out of this world #BigStuffInSmallTowns. Welcome to Moonbeam Ontario where a #UFO has landed, and is still there. The saucer is only 3 metres high which means the green men or women are little. Cannabis recommended while visiting.

    In 1967 we celebrated Canada's 100th birthday. In that same year the Republic of Rathnelly, a small neighbourhood near Casa Loma in Toronto, declared their independence. They created a flag, announced a Queen, and issued passports. It was a brilliant act of #CivilDisobedience meant to stop the planned Spadina Expressway that would have cut the #Community in half. I hope we see innovative protests to stop Ford's Hwy 413.

    25 years ago Toronto announced a revitalization of their waterfront industrial area. Real change has been accomplished including the recent expansion of the city's newest park - Biidaasige Park. The municipal park will eventually encompass 20 hectares east of downtown and accessible by public transit. BTW - this location is where Ford wanted to build a giant ferris wheel.

    #Hotdogs vs #Hamburgers ? We're serving both at our family #BBQ today but internet data, therefore 100% true, indicates Canadians eat an average of 8 hotdogs annually versus 20 Hamburgers. Even if we consider that Costco Canada sells 36.6 million hotdogs every year, there must be some outliers dragging up those averages because I'm well below average. That's what she said last night...

    Happy National Hotdog Day to all those who don't care about what they eat. Did you know that the Montréal hot dog is a would famous Canadian gourmet meal? Neither did I. Montréal had a 66 year ban on street carts that was lifted in 2013. So small diners had created steamed #Hotdogs and sausages, placed in a side loaded steamed bun with your choice of toppings. Today both steamé or grilled options are available.

    The Mole Mobile, a #Dermatology clinic in a customized RV, will be visiting major Canadian cities again this summer. Look for the Mole Mobile in any town experiencing long wait times to see a dermatologist, underserved communities, rural and Indigenous regions, with the objective of improving diagnosis for skin cancer. Hundreds of patients are typically screened at each stop and immediately referred if cancer is found.

    If you're a follower of #Pastafarianism then you understand. Yes, it's #TalkLikeAPirate Day, which makes it a great opportunity to post about those scoundrels who sailed the eastern coast of Canada during the 17th and 18th centuries. One of the best-known pirates to make his mark on Canada was Peter Easton. In 1612, Easton embarked on a series of raids on European fishing fleets in coastal harbours in Newfoundland and Labrador. He turned Harbour Grace into his headquarters and destroyed a Basque fleet that was intent on capturing his fort there. Part of his myth involved capturing an Irish princess who later married one of his lieutenant and settled in Newfoundland. Easton was the rare pirate who retired in France with his wealth. He was succeeded in Canadian waters by Black Bart who captured more than 400 ships over 2 year period, but who met a bloody end when he was put out of business by the British navy.

    I've been binge watching Viking related series and movies lately, so a virtual visit to L'Anse aux Meadows is appropriate. This archaeological site, first excavated in the 1960s, was a Norse settlement dating to approximately 1,000 years ago. The site, located on the northernmost tip of Newfoundland, existed for about a decade and served primarily as a base for exploration. On my bucket list to visit.
