Always nice to see the 🇺🇸 lose at the World Juniors.
Sweden is going to be the team to beat this year.

On Dec. 31, 1857, Queen Victoria made a decision that had a lasting impact on our history.
She decided that Ottawa was to be the new capital of the Province of Canada.
How did this small community, best-known as a lumber town, become the capital?
This is the story.

On this day in 1941, Yousuf Karsh took The Roaring Lion portrait of Churchill in the Speaker's Chamber of the House of Commons. He captured the stern look by taking the cigar out of Churchill's mouth right before taking the photo. The portrait is now on the British £5 banknote.

Just under 8mm of ice reported at the airport. We were lucky -it could have been much worse. Ottawa may sneak above 0°, but barely, and it will be brief, as cold air rushes back into the region later this pm w/flurries. The wind will pick up. W 50-70 just after dark. #ONStorm

Over the last week my wife has made chicken stew, pulled pork sandwiches, a turkey dinner with all the trimings and tonight a beef barley soup.
Yes, I am spoiled. 😋

Thousands of members of the Canadian Armed Forces are spending Christmas away from home – standing on guard for our freedoms, and those of our allies.
In this increasingly dangerous and divided world, we are ever more grateful for your service and sacrifice. Merry Christmas.
