Good Morning #Canada
One of the most influential Canadians that most of Canada has never heard of was Elijah Harper (March 3, 1949 - May 17, 2013). He served with distinction as a politician in Manitoba, serving as minister of Northern Affairs. Harper is best known for the role he played in scuttling the Meech Lake Accord, for which he was named the Canadian Press newsmaker of the year in 1990. The Meech Lake Accord was an attempt by then Prime Minister Mulroney to gain acceptance of the constitution by Quebec. The proposed amendments, negotiated in secret by the 11 Premiers, would have eroded federal powers by granting the provinces and territories more rights over key areas.
Without Harper's stubbornness, Canada’s federal powers would have been weakened, and we very well could have ended up splintered like the USA.

On Sunday, October 5, 2025, my wife and I are participating in the Canadian Cancer Society's Run for the Cure. This national fundraiser brings together communities across the country who will run or walk in support of all Canadians impacted by breast cancer. We are walking in honour of my mother, my two sisters, and both our daughters - all of whom have been touched by this terrible disease.
Our family isn't special as 1 in 8 women will face a breast cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, It is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Canadian women, and all of us likely know someone who has battled it in the past, or is fighting it today. I encourage all Canadians to donate in honour of someone they know or simply to help their communities fight breast cancer. This cause is particularly important to us, especially this year, as we support our daughters, and I hope all Canadians get involved.

Ok jokes about #enshittification aside, I was happy to just discover that #Canadian show #Flashpoint was added to #Netflix.

The Trinity Session

There is something uniquely Canadian about The Trinity Session. The Trinity Session is a beautiful piece of folk #Canadiana an album that is far more than the sum of its parts – but whose parts, if you really give them your full attention, stand up perfectly well on their own.

Need to work on creating a real-time actionable dashboard at some point. But for now, I'll watch my ADS-B #FlightAware feeder. (Also feeding to #FlightRadar24.)
So today I spotted these

Good Morning Canada
On this day in 1991 Canada’s military suffered a casualty that made headlines across the country. Master Corporal Mark Robert Isfeld, known to his friends as Izzy, was killed while disarming a landmine in the village of Kakma, Croatia. He was famous for handing out Izzy Dolls to local children. The dolls were knitted by his mother, and the practice grew to be supported across the Canadian military family.

Good Morning #Canada
And Happy #CanadaDay. The news media posts today show a distinct trend about Canadian patriotism. Increased interest in our history, record levels of flag sales and prominent display on homes, and elbows up everywhere. Back in 1982, Pierre Berton released a book titled "Why We Act Like Canadians" that connected our history with our culture. Read this review and see if it still resonates today.

#HappyBirthday to my eldest daughter and, coincidentally, one of my favourite painters, Tom Thomson. Born in 1877 and raised in rural Ontario, Thomson displayed no immediate artistic talent and worked several jobs in sign making and graphic design. He didn't start painting seriously until he was almost 30, and during his short career, he produced roughly 400 oil sketches on small wood panels and approximately 50 larger works on canvas. His art consists almost entirely of landscapes, depicting trees, skies, lakes, and rivers. An excellent collection of his work can be seen at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg.
