On her way to the breakers yard? I thought we were going to use them for Sinkexs?

I'm well aware of that. But how quick we are to dismiss any purely Canadian cultural enterprise is depressing.

Mainly because the environment in this country is not conducive to success. We'd much rather do it the easy way than the hard work of making the entire country a place to succeed.

To be clear, I'm not talking just about military stories, but the entire Canadian cultural milieu. We're fairly decent at comedy but that seems to be it. I have other thoughts about our obsession with being accepted in the United States professional sports leagues (including NCAA which is just...

In the Great Escape, they didn’t even try to portray any Canadians, they just made James Garner an American who joined the RAF. 😕

Passchendale started with such promise and then devolved into a muddled love story. Tried too hard I guess.

We also suffer from being beside the USA and our productions compared to the multi billions available to Hollywood. And our own folks in LA seem to be uninterested in helping to tell Canadian stories.

^^^ There are a million stories involving all sorts of Canadians, but it’s like we’re too terrified to tell them.

Arrrghhh!!!

Nobody in Canada is interested in historical drama's? Too many groups will be annoyed that their story is not told correctly? History was written by white men? ;) Or are we just too culturally overwhelmed by the behemoth to the south that any effort by us will be seen an amateurish? One group...

I saw a post on X extolling the film "The Longest Day". That just got me annoyed once again that this epic couldn't mention the existence of the Canadian contribution.

So that means in another decade they'll bring that position back in the name of "Transformation!" I contend that there are a finite number of ideas that are recycled every 30 years (the lifecycle of corporate lifers). At least that is what I tell the youngsters! ;)

I noticed the helicopter in the video is a Seahawk.

Fleetway not being subtle at all!😉 #NavyBikeRide

Watched the game today. Canada carried the play for majority of the match, but they really missed Alphonso Davies. They just didn’t have a finisher until Kyle Larin came out and scored like a minute after he got on the pitch. He was really pissed that he was on the bench for a majority of the match.

The delusion of Canadians regarding our Armed Forces and what they actual do is breathtaking. And then there is the statements coming from opinion writers who haven't spent a second thinking about joining the CAF that the Snowbirds are our most effective recruiting tool..............It is to weep.

Private bedroom with private bathroom in a modern four bedroom home in Britannia Beach area. Only a five minute drive, 15 minute bike ride or 45 minute walk to NDHQ Carling. Also potentially included, one room on the second floor that could be used as a home office as well as the basement...

It appears that nobody in Vancouver has an issue with a fully laden tanker sailing from Burrard inlet past 3 bridges (hello Baltimore?), through an extremely busy harbour, then at least 3 90 degree turns, past several marine parks (Race Rocks for one) and without a tug escort once they are past...

You guys have an open cheque book/unlimited AMEX cobalt black card, and your nation doesn't give a fuuuuuuuuuuuck about debt as long as its allowed to line the pocket of the current POTUS and his cronies. To continue with the quasi-rant. The USA right now is similar to the British Empire in...
