Many thanks to Scott (VA3EKR) who shares the following guest post, which was originally posted on his blog: Shade's Mills Conservation Area (CA-5604) by Scott (VA3EKR) Chris, VA3CJW, suggested this POTA site, as it was new to both of us, and he is more familiar with that area. We left at 8:30, and it takes about an hour from the QTH to get to Cambridge, ON.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

Kevin Page is the best of the best when it comes to speaking truth to power and to representing the highest standards of public service.
If he says the Parliamentary Budget officer is wrong about the state of our nation's finances -you can take it to the bank.

Federal budget watchdog's comments are 'just wrong,' says one of his predecessors | CBC News

A former parliamentary budget officer says it is “just wrong” to suggest that the federal finances are unsustainable and is publicly disagreeing with the current fiscal watchdog.

There is a storm of race hatred brewing online.
Blaming refugees. Blaming hard working immigrants.
Don't fall for this kind of shit.
I think of the Syrian families who built the north with passion, hard work.
If your relative spreads hate shit tell them to knock it off.

I can relate to that. My work is a horrible mess at the moment. I just keep reminding myself that there’s certain things that I have no control over. I try and only concern myself with the things that I can control. Makes life easier and less stressful

Good for you my friend. Most people will slow down so you can copy. I worked Venezuela tonight but had people walking on top of our QSO. You should feel great that you were able to copy without the decoder. It just shows you that even though it is tough you are capable of doing it. 73

I know you’re busy but when you have time you should check out training offered by LICW and CW Innovations. I believe both are now teaching the ability not to get bogged down when you miss something. LICW has something called Project Over-learn.
CW Innovations talks about the idea of missing fast.

Dear Old Dad 🇨🇦 @dearolddad.bsky.social · 11d

Don’t get discouraged my friend. Remember how far you’ve progressed in what really is a short time. The ability to follow a QSO takes time and even experienced operators sometimes miss things. The goal is to get it all but that is the destination not the journey.

Not understanding why you feel that way. You just posted that you copied Morsle @ 30 WPM. Maybe listen to the code files from ARRL: www.arrl.org/code-practic...

How can anyone possibly have listened to the speech given by your President today and not immediately raised their voices in protest. Just read the transcript of his remarks. I would draw your attention to the following minutes (43:07 – 43:41) (44:32-44:46). I guess you’re okay with #Dictatorship

On Orange Shirt Day my heart was with the survivors of St. Anne's residential school.
The government suppressed thousands of pages of evidence and spent millions on lawyers to deny justice to people who suffered the worst crimes imaginable.
There is no reconciliation without justice for St. Annes.

“The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation” is supposed to be a day to honour the victims of the residential school system that existed in Canada until 1996. We who are descendants of the colonizers must stop and listen to those who are victims of our descendants. yellowheadinstitute.org/about/

White Christians in Canada today are perhaps the least persecuted group of people that there has ever been. Hate crimes against people of other faiths have actually been reported here in Canada. Just because you cannot force your religion on others doesn’t mean that you’re a victim of a hate crime.

Charlie Angus @charlieangus104.bsky.social · 14d

Canadians can see how the extremist playbook is tearing apart Europe and the United States. MAGA MAPLE have been setting up the ground for it to be unleashed here.
The hate storm is coming.
We need to call this guy out for his manipulations and rage baiting.

If you are anywhere near the Murray Harbour Community Centre you owe it to yourself and your friends and family to take the time to hear @vy2hf.bsky.social speaker about the importance of the Cape Bear Lighthouse and Marconi station

I'm putting the finishing touches on my talk for Friday night's fundraiser for the Cape Bear Lighthouse and Marconi Station. I'm going to spread the word about what a great location eastern PEI is for radio!
