  1. Good Morning #Canada
    The really cool visuals for the Canadian Coast Guard come from their #Icebreakers while performing their winter duties. Most of that activity happens in 2 regions: the Arctic and the Great Lakes.
    Supporting the far north, and protecting our sovereignty in the region, drove the funding for 2 new Polar Class Icebreakers announced in 2021 and currently under construction on the west coast.

    The Canadian Coast Guard maintains a fleet of hundreds of ships across the country. Duties include: search & rescue, #Icebreakers, survey & sounding, marine research, supply & maintenance, environmental cleanup, and enforcement.
    This highly useful government website lists every type of #CCG vessel, what they're used for, how many are in service, and includes links to specs on each ship. Highly recommended for naval nerds.

    This #CCG_Week series was prompted by a birthday gift from PM Carney on Aug 24th (my DOB), when he announced 6 new #Icebreakers for the Canadian Coast Guard. The new ships are needed to replace our 2 existing Icebreakers and meet commitments under the ICE Pact, an agreement between USA, Canada & Finland to build Icebreakers and secure the Arctic.

  8. Good Morning #Canada
    Forget the Easter Egg Hunt. The real excitement is that it's Go Fly a Kite Day. I don't think enough Canadians have experienced the joy of watching their Kite soar hundreds of feet in the air, wave dramatically in the wind, and then plunge into the highest branches of a nearby tree. The largest kite flying celebration in Canada is likely the Windscape Kite Festival in Swift Current, but many provinces have local events.

  12. Good Morning #Canada
    Today is my 5 year anniversary of having open heart surgery. I plan on celebrating by eating something greasy and artery clogging.
    Today there are approximately 40,000 open heart surgeries in Canada but in 1956 the first in Canada was performed in Alberta by pioneering surgeon John Callaghan. Here is his fascinating life story and career achievements.

  16. Good Morning Canada!
    Apparently it's the 3rd Sunday in April which means it is GO Fly a Kite Day. No... I don't want you to get lost... I'm talking about actually tying a long string to a colourful triangle of plastic and trying to fly it up in the clouds. Or tangle it in your neighbours tree. My daughters and I regularly flew kites when they were younger and maybe it's time I introduced it to my granddaughter.
