OTD in 1972, construction begins on Canada’s largest single-site #Hydroelectric project at Churchill Falls, Labrador. To commemorate this minor historical event in our country's impressive record of hydroelectric technology and power generation, let's focus on one of the newest projects. The controversial Site C in British Columbia will begin filling its reservoir this summer in preparation for starting operations.

All the talk from the G7 about India and Canada working together to use AI for government "efficiency" sounds a lot like outsourcing our education and public services to a call centre.

The US Ambassador to Canada is a gas lighting, lying nutcase like his Administration.
“"Coming to the U.S., that's a decision for the Canadians to make. Searching devices and all of that is not a well-founded fear. We don't do that. America is a welcoming place," he said.
"I've heard that from Americans coming into Canada as well, OK? Saying, 'You know, we've not received a warm reception when we've gotten to Canadian customs,'" he said.”

It's National Fishing Day, which means that with over two million lakes and rivers that flow into five major ocean drainage basins, Canadians will be pulling on hip waders and checking tackle boxes. There are 3.5M recreational anglers in Canada, plus another 700K (ish) tourists, driving a $1.75B dollar industry. The fishing capital of Canada is Kingston, Ontario... according to Kingston area "experts."

OTD in 1904, the City of Niagara Falls was incorporated, with a population of approximately 7,000 residents. Niagara Falls was already a major tourist attraction with numerous hotels established in the 1880s, and it was the honeymoon destination for most of Canada and the USA.

Another day in history... another invading force from the USA. Those pesky Fenians were back on this day in 1866, and this time, the 1,800 Irish-Americans riders were repelled back to the United States after they looted and plundered around Saint-Armand and Frelighsburg, Quebec. Although the Fenian raids were unsuccessful, they did encourage the Canadian provinces to band together for defense, leading to our Confederation as a country.

From The Conversation - Canada
What is modern monetary theory? An economist explains how it could help Canada
Few words spark more anxiety in public debate than “national debt” and “government deficit.” National debt is the total amount of money the government owes, accumulated over years of running deficits. Government deficit is when the government spends more money than it collects in taxes and other revenues.

What is modern monetary theory? An economist explains how it could help Canada
A heterodox school of economic thought known as modern monetary theory has significant implications for how Canadians understand public debt and deficit spending.

Former privateer, a polite name for a pirate, Martin Frobisher left England on May 31st, 1578, for his 3rd voyage seeking gold and the elusive Northwest Passage. On this voyage, he also held the 1st Thanksgiving in North America when he and his crew landed safely in Nunavut on the shore of Hudson Bay. Ultimately, the ore he mined was not gold, and the Northwest Passage remained elusive, but he had a bay named after him.

OTD in 1866, the Fenian Brotherhood crossed the Niagara River to invade Canada. This group was an Irish American organization that was dedicated to freeing Ireland from British rule, and they believed that if they captured Canada, they could use it as a bargaining tool. We could have become a nation of red-headed brawlers who were terrible hockey players.

The Battle of Jumonville Glen, OTD in 1754, between French Canadian and American military forces, was notable because it was the opening battle of the French and Indian War, the 1st combat action for 21 year old George Washington, and ultimately led England and France into conflict in the global Seven Years’ War. The assassination of the French-Canadian commander would also darken Washington's reputation for life.

On May 27, 1957, at 6:00 a.m., the CHUM radio station (1050 AM) increased power from 1,000 watts to 2,500 watts and switched from a daytime station to 24 hours. At that same moment, radios all over Toronto started playing Elvis Presley singing “All Shook Up” as the "New CHUM" became Canada’s first Top 50 music format.

Jagmeet Singh deserved a lot better than he got from Canada considering what he endured.
"Singh told reporters in April that police had advised him in the winter of 2023 that his life could be in danger. They did not tell him who was behind the threat but he said the implication was that it was a foreign government.
He said he stayed in his basement, avoided windows and considered quitting politics over fears about his family’s safety. He decided to carry on but was forced to lead the NDP for a period under police protection.”

TIL the last time Canada spent 2% of GDP on defence spending (no date was given) we had Aircraft Carriers in our Navy.
The Bonaventure was the last Canadian aircraft carrier. And no, it wasn't a hand-me-down, though it began construction for the Royal Navy at the end of WWII but was stopped in 1945 then bought and completed by the RCN.
It was decommissioned and scrapped in 1970. It flew a squadron of F2H Banshee jets for the first few years of its life, then converted to a helicopter carrier for the final years.

Fact: Taking a BC Ferry from Metro Vancouver to Vancouver Island is a High CO2 experience, though if it's a full ferry, it's not terrible (~5kgCO2/passenger)
By 2031, BC Ferries will have replaced 18 ferries (big and small!) in 15 years, and nearly all will be 100% electric-ready.
They just announced they're doing the big ships next.
"Built with diesel-battery hybrid propulsion systems and designed with the capability to operate on full electric power in future, the NMVs are expected to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve fuel efficiency, and lower underwater radiated noise to better protect marine life. With greater capacity than the vessels they replace, the NMVs will offer more space for vehicles and passengers and upgraded amenities, supporting a more reliable and comfortable travel experience.”

In June of 1759, new settlers began arriving in Nova Scotia, not from Europe but from the American colonies. French Canadians, known as Acadians, were removed from the Atlantic colony in 1755, and the British governor of Nova Scotia was anxious to repopulate his territory with loyal subjects. Many farmers in New England were struggling, and over the next decade, some 8,000 Americans were lured to Canada.

I am willing to be pleasantly surprised, but... when all I see from these "major projects" is oil and gas and other 20th century backwards nonsense, I can't help but be pessimistic.
Ironically, a real "nation building" project that would be a huge benefit to Canadians would be more akin to something from the 19th century: Standing up a true public railway corporation and rebuilding a high speed electrified rail network from sea to sea to sea that could reduce transportation costs and increase flexibility and convenience for millions of Canadians and businesses including in remote communities.
But our current leadership is too beholden to existing capitalist interests and status quo business to be that bold. And they're positively allergic to anything done purely in the public interest. How dare we not include some profiteering private corporation… /sarc

In May of 1733, the government of Quebec City upheld the right of Canadians to hold Indigenous slaves.

It's incredible that the Alberta Premier continues to claim a pipeline to the Northwest (Prince Rupert) is possible. Premier Eby was not there because he was in the middle of a pre-planned trip to Asia (Japan, South Korea, Malaysia). And he said today there won't be any reconsideration of another oil pipeline, "decarbonzed" or not. And Japan has no interest in heavy oil anyway.
"But Eby continued to pour cold water on other premiers' talk of building another oil pipeline across B.C. to the coast, saying there is already the taxpayer-owned Trans Mountain Pipeline, which is not being used to full capacity.
He added that the Japanese don't want heavy oil and thermal coal. And he has not altered his stance against lifting the heavy oil tanker ban on B.C.'s North Coast.”

#TheAmericanFascist made a post threatening annexation approximately 1hr 40min after the King of Canada left Ottawa. (Possibly within minutes of the King leaving Canadian airspace)
So that worked well.

Canada's northern Prairies are ablaze and now there are firefighters trapped in northern Alberta. 2 of 3 Prairie provinces are under states of emergency.

And yes... of course he ...
"It should come as no surprise that after the massacres of October 7, 2023, all the loudest voices from the residential-schools “activism” immediately merged with the loudest voices in the ‘From Turtle Island to Palestine’ histrionics."
It's a wonder he sleeps at night with the spirits of innocent victims of genocidal governments swirling around him.

Andrew Sheer is currently spinning a conspiracy theory that “ties” Carney while in the UK to lobbying for “rules" to "force" aviation companies to use "non-conventional" fuel and then “he invests in that company and makes millions”.
And that, folks, is how the Conservatives are going to tie "New World Order" conspiracies to any kind of climate action, even very weak action like Sustainable Airline Fuel.
God I hate this guy's gross smile.

Canadians: Replace Ardern with Trudeau and use other Canadian touchstones in place of #nzpol and you have an accurate article for Canada.
Which should speak to what Progressives actually need to do here, and everywhere.
"Ardern’s leadership has often been described as emotionally intelligent, compassionate, and people-centred. But compassion is not liberation. Empathy alone does not redistribute wealth, dismantle police power, or decommodify housing. What Ardern perfected was a mode of governance that couched neoliberalism in progressive language. A style of leadership that appeared anti-fascist, anti-racist, and feminist, while presiding over deepening inequality, mass incarceration of Māori, ongoing colonisation, environmental destruction, and a housing system that serves landlords and property speculators.
Ardern’s “politics of kindness” masked a status quo commitment to capitalism and state power. Her government’s housing policies floundered under the weight of market logic. Despite the crisis of homelessness and unaffordability, the Labour government never seriously considered nationalising housing, implementing rent controls, or seizing vacant properties from land-bankers. Instead, they protected the interests of property investors, many of whom were MPs themselves."

Good Morning #Canada
Today is National Geek Day, so expect your social media feeds to be filled with gobbly-gook acronyms and combinations of words that make you select the translate function. There's no scientific measurement of Canadian GPM (Geeks per million), but Canada does have an award winning #Candy called NERDS Gummy Clusters. I have not tried them, but apparently, non-technical people are allowed to consume it as well.

"I don’t believe anyone was thinking about [the] 51st state idea. Truthfully, the intent was to not get political, but to focus on social, cultural, and economic ties."
I hate this nonsense. With great respect and in kindness: Mr. City Councillor in Bellngham needs to put on his big boy pants and admit that yes it is political and yes it is about the 51st state rhetoric and all the scary border stuff from his federal government.
His choice not to admit that and speak against that, and worse, to act like it doesn’t exist, is a further insult and will not help to get BC/Canadians to resume visits.

“An assessment of updated National Climate and Energy Plans (NECPs) shows the EU is on course to achieve a 54 per cent emissions reduction by 2030 - just one per cent shy of its legally binding 55 per cent target.”
Fun fact, if Canada joined the EU it would probably hurt it from an emissions reduction perspective because Oil and Gas.
“It attributed the progress towards the 2030 goal to action in the energy sector, with renewables covering 24 per cent of energy consumption in the EU in 2023. Most member states are now aligned with the target of reaching a share of 42.5 per cent by 2030, according to the Commission.”
Weird how they don’t mention LNG as being a reason why Europe has been able to meet its goals. Almost like renewables are essentially the only way to decarbonize the industry, just like the scientists say it is.
“States have a legal obligation to deliver climate action, and the Commission has a clear responsibility to uphold and enforce EU law in response.”
Imagine Danielle Smith whining about unfair laws…
Wonder how much #bclmg Europe will be asking for…
