Any military is inherently an authoritarian organization, which means that it is far more right than left, and that it works constantly to preserve its traditions and hierarchy. It has to resist change that compromises the authority of orders. Otherwise it’s a gang. In order to succeed, military people must be trained to be obedient, and to believe their cause is just, and lawful. The CAF needs to guard against acts and attitudes that are outside of law, while maintaining the necessary ethos. The incidence of “far right” attitudes and activities is low in my opinion but has been dealt with harshly. It ain’t easy being green.

The march came as US President Donald Trump intensifies his crackdown against undocumented immigrants in the United States.

I recently moved to Mexico from Canada 🇨🇦 because of the culture! Nice weather and lower cost of living are both available in many other countries. Mexico has the culture, the arts, the food, the variety that make life here so interesting. Nay; captivating!
Please don’t seek to emulate the degenerating culture to the north. No one likes it! Especially not Mexicans, who have seen firsthand their presence as immigrants in USA and Canada have improved life for the people there. Now help your immigrants do the same for Mexico! 🇲🇽

I’m way past making a living in tech, and so far (5 months) my MacBook is delivering a very satisfactory user experience. I’m not thrilled with the “radical” changes coming to MacOs, but I don’t have that much invested in the current version to fret over it. So far the biggest controversy about the new OS is how the finder icon swapped colours. I can live with that! I considered and tried some Linux distros over the past few years, but there was too much intervention required by me, the user. The “Total Recall” vibe of Windows 11 pushed me over the line.

And yet, most likely user behaviour hasn’t changed!

Geez! Royal or not, if you charter a budget company, you get budget service! IDK if HiFly is budget or not. I do know this: aircraft are effing complicated. The consequences of many defects can be life threatening. (Nearly) All aircraft operators strive to detect and rectify defects while the survey is on the ground. Quit whingeing and enjoy your multi hour flight over empty ocean!

I began using Windows in 1992. I switched to MacOS this year and I'm never going back.

NHL Hockey: Goaltenders eligible for contact if handling the puck outside the crease, and outside the trapezoid. Same as any other players.
