    2nd Canadian Armoured Regiment in WWII

    It is more commonly known as Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians) abbreviated as LdSH(RC). You may have better luck searching for regimental history using that title. The Regimental Museum and Archives are located in Calgary...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    What I find hilarious (in a sarcastic, 'are you fucking kidding' manner) are the attempts to suggest that Kimmel is anything more than the clown that he has always been (in his mind or as an example of acceptable social norms). I don't regularly watch any of the late night usual suspects...

    All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

    Reminds me of my time in Rwanda (1994). When we were hiring locals, we asked them for some form of ID, not thinking anything much about it. Many seemed reluctant to provide it or said they had lost their (compulsory?) national ID card. It was only later that we realized that their ID cards...

    Free speech is "free", but not cheap.

    "Lab-grown meat makers sue Texas over ban on cultivated protein"

    Except she's not being paid to pretend to eat "lab grown evil stuff". She's being paid to pretend to eat a "Beyond Meatâ„¢" burger. Not lab grown, but field grown (and then processed and assembled in a factory - just like many animal protein-adjacent products, e.g. Spam)...

    "Lab-grown meat makers sue Texas over ban on cultivated protein"

    So you've practiced free will in choosing to consume what could be of questionable (but tasty) origin. Should not consumers in Texas (and the other states that have blocked cultivated meat like substance) have the choice to purchase "cultivated meat like substance" without interference from...

    "Lab-grown meat makers sue Texas over ban on cultivated protein"

    I initially misread that as "pants". I know some food stuffs does have an evacuatory effect on the digestive system, but after you shit your pants a couple of times, most people seek medical attention.

    "Lab-grown meat makers sue Texas over ban on cultivated protein"

    That sounds like a "you" problem rather than an "it" problem.

    The vibe shift, end of "wokeness"?

    While it's been years since I've been to the UK or passed through Heathrow Airport, one of the things I noticed, even going back to the 1980s, was that every uniformed police officer I saw in the airport was armed (a goodly portion of them with MP5s). I don't know if plainclothes officers at...

    "Lab-grown meat makers sue Texas over ban on cultivated protein"

    Unless it had been grown in a lab/factory and had never been in a field in which things crap.

    Fourth Emergency Service

    I see it as a way to devolve police and EMS from doing non-police/EMS functions. My experience of responding to MH calls is very limited and long, long ago. Military medics don't/didn't get many ambulance calls, so for me it was mostly responding to ruckuses in the mess that resulted in some...
