Really feeling the “really nice apartment over a meth lab” vibe recently in the great white north.

The normalizing of the Greenland situation by so many people is utterly insane. The focus should be on calling out the craziness not treating this like it’s a legitimate thing to do.

It’s 1989 all over again

The Battle for #Hongkong spawned myths and controversy. For an extensive academic treatment of these, see Fighting It Out: The Canadian Troops at Hong Kong and in Memory by @otdmilhistory.bsky.social at ruor.uottawa.ca/bitstream/10.... #CanadianHistory #CanadianMilitaryHistory #WW2 #WWII

Happy Pearl Harbor Conspiracy Day

Well that was very meh. The rhino wasn’t even cool. I mean it runs into a wall full speed and it is just cool with that and hangs out.

I’m about to watch Gladiator 2. If it’s anything like Napoleon it should be good for some laughs.

I’ve felt calling it a massacre was a bit much but I guess revolutionary propaganda is hard to overcome.

On a recent visit to a Hamilton museum, I found a memorial to one of the few RHLI officers who escaped the Dieppe landings. Interestingly showing a rare mid-20th-century Canadian Army battle flag. I think this is the first 'real' one I have seen. @forrestpass.bsky.social @otdmilhistory.bsky.social

My great uncle Private Abraham Dufresne, of Le Regiment de la Chaudière, was killed on June 6, 1944. He was 23 years old. #RemembranceDay2025 #RemembranceDay #lestweforget

#QOD - What is the value of history to the military? #discuss... I have thoughts, but I am interested in hearing other opinions.

I guess the extra time hasn’t helped Ohtani much

I hate Game 7s

Here we go!

Mexico Versus Nazis is a theme that’s really resonating with me of late

Now that’s a start

One for @normagraham.bsky.social

Saying fighting to help the Nazis is bad is apparently "sentimentalist lalaland politics". The Cold War really destroyed some people's brains. This comment is about the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician).

You can’t separate the Holocaust from any understanding of World War 2. Those who do are really saying something very bad.

This is a new one to me. Passing on a video because they don't understand how to use a calendar.

So a Trump manufactured war with Venezuela is coming. Sounds like fun.

#OTD in 1944, Operation Market Garden began. The plan to bypass German defences of the Siegfried Line and get across the Rhine failed. The video linked below looks at why it failed and the consequences. The Failure of Operation Market Garden and It's Consequences youtu.be/tUxrgeS2nZs?...

Yup you definitely can't be a good soldier with facial hair. Photo of Joshua Chamberlain unrelated

Buckle up America. Based on history, this isn’t going to end well for a lot of people.

#OTD in 1939, Canada declared war on Germany. Canada did not declare war on Sept 3 like Britain and France as a show of independence from Britain. PM Mackenzie King claimed the delay was for a Parliamentary vote on the declaration but this position has largely been dismissed by historians.

I got called dangerous on my own YouTube channel for correcting Nazi propaganda. I think we have turned a really bad corner here.
