Given the Canadian WW1 and WW2 and modern military history we’re indoctrinated with in school (“we became a country at Ypres” etc) let’s just add that education total to the military % and call it a day

I may be an outlier, but as a millennial renter I would absolutely move for a Vienna style development where a long-term, rent-controlled, amenity-filled, public housing option was available for me to have secure housing for the next 20 years

This is a good excuse to remind everyone of one of my favourite interactive experiences, from 2012, Bear71 (VR not required). It’s about data collection of wildlife in the rockies, dangers of grain spills on rail tracks, our responsibility to protect nature, etc. Bear71vr.nfb.ca

Everyone in your replies just muddying the waters with suggestions not backed up by historical fact. Not helpful! Just making Oliver Stone’s work in uncovering the truth harder

So this is how we all learn that even though there’s no service at 3am, a train might still be running and the tracks are dangerous
