On the 80th anniversary of being liberated by Canadian troops, the team from the city of Leeuwarden are wearing maple leaf-festooned jerseys.

 

A UK company has developed a loop system which turns methane gas into hydrogen and graphene. It's being tested at several farm sites.

They have a machine called a groomer. It can lay the tracks for the classic ski and the skate ski trail. They also have other groomers for the fat bike trails and snow shoe trails.

There are three ski trails within the Sudbury city limits: Laurentian, Naughton, and Kivi Park. All of them have groomed trails for classic skiing, skate skiing, snow shoeing, and fat bike riding. Kivi also has a skating trail

Also more than Syria and somehow they got hit with tarrifs.

Sudbury, Ontario. Two more days of skiing and then it's supposed to warm up.

That's more than a little scary.

 
 

I also learned I knew more German than I thought. "Das ist wunderbar qwarterbak sak."

 

The leaves are soft and the size of a square of toilet paper. The plant grows up to 2 m tall.

U.S. is the only country (until now) that was allowed to export eggs to Canada. It doesn't really say if they actually ever sent us any amount. I'm guessing that before the egg crisis down south, they sent them to Vancouver or places with no egg farmers near.

 

Until now, the U.S. was the only country allowed to export eggs to Canada. Decreasing stocks in the U.S. has prompted Canada to add Ukraine to the list.

A bomber carrying the bombs crashed into its refueling jet causing the disaster. Two of the bombs' parachutes didn't open and the explosives around the nuclear core exploded scattering radiation across the countryside. The U.S. and Spain reached an agreement to clean up the soil, but it still hasn't been done.

It's a lifestyle change. I had friends move there from Sudbury (different direction and Sudbury is smaller, but it may be helpful). They say the social difference is the thing you have to work on most. You have to get involved with the clubs and groups. Because the winters are long, people tend to stay in their houses more and so, if you don't get involved, you feel cut off. The summer tourists also take a bit of getting used to. It's not as bad as some places. I moved from S. Ontario to Sudbury. I totally love it. Never going back. I endure the winter by traveling and (again) getting involved in the community. The summers make up for it. 330 lakes in the city. Not too hot. The "rush hour" is laughable compared to TO.

 

Heard Island and McDonald Island, two Antarctic outposts, are on the list of places that Trump is putting tariffs on. No human has even visited the islands in a decade. There are only penguins and elephant seals.

Syria also has sanctions, has less trade with the U.S. than Russia and is on the list.

 

Russia was not included in the countries hit by Trump's tariff. The press secretary say it's because previous sanction "preclude any meaningful trade," but other countries that do even less trade, such as Syria, were on the list.

Yeah, it's a no win. Either NATO becomes ineffective because it won't honour it's agreement or WW3 starts.

Kind of like Czechoslovakia in WW2.

 

I see that Canada's EV car, the Arrow 2.0 is showing at a global trade fair in Germany. The prototype has been around for a couple of years. Is it any closer to the production phase?
