Todd Ross shares his journey from growing up as a closeted queer youth in rural New Brunswick to becoming a leading voice for 2SLGBTQIA+ veterans in Canada. After being forced out of the Canadian Navy during the discriminatory LGBT purge, Todd transformed his trauma into activism—becoming a lead plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit that resulted in a national apology and the establishment of the LGBT Purge Fund. The conversation explores his intersecting identities as a Two-Spirit Métis person, the resilience forged through adversity, and the ongoing work of reconciliation, memorialization, and representation. Todd's story is a testament to healing, leadership, and the quiet strength of returning home.

In the small Innu community of Sheshatshiu, Labrador, 27 people have died from drug-related causes in just two years — a staggering number for a population of only 2,000. At the centre of this crisis is an alarming surge in cocaine, now deadlier than before.Police and drug experts say the situation on this Innu reserve is a consequence of a booming cocaine trade that's unleashed high-purity cocaine into even remote corners of the country. In his documentary, Pure Hell, CBC investigative journalist Ryan Cooke goes on a quest to find out why this is happening. His journey takes him from the high-stakes pursuit of smugglers aboard a Canadian Navy vessel in the Caribbean, to Sheshatshiu Innu First Nation, where former federal cabinet minister Peter Penashue was so desperate to save his community that he attacked a suspected drug dealer's car with a crowbar.Produced by Ryan Cooke and Joan Webber with help from Katie Breen / originally aired on The Current. Storylines is part of the CBC Audio Doc Unit

Is our universe inside a black hole? New evidence from JWST galaxy imagesNew images from the James Webb Space Telescope of distant galaxies could support a mind-bending idea: that our universe was born in a black hole. The images show more of these galaxies spin clockwise, than counterclockwise. Lior Shamir, a computational astrophysicist from Kansas State University, says that may mean our universe inherited the spin of the black hole we're currently living in, though he thinks its more likely that there's something wrong with how we're measuring objects in deep space. The study is published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Modern-day Antarctic explorers go where no-one has gone beforeCBC Reporter Susan Ormiston spent a month on the Canadian Navy ship HMCS Margaret Brooke as it took a team of 15 scientists on a research trip to Antarctica. She brings us the story of Kevin Wilcox, a researcher using an uncrewed sonar vehicle to map the previously inaccessible near-shore waters of the icy continent.Finding out what juvenile sea turtles do during their ‘lost years'Once baby sea turtles swim away from their natal beaches, they enter what marine biologists call their “lost years,” a time of critical growth spent wandering the open sea. A new study is filling in the picture of what they do during this time. The research, led by marine ecologist Katrina Phillips, involved playing a game of oceanic hide and seek to find and track over 100 sea turtles as they moved through the ocean. The work was published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.Concrete plans to transform cement production's CO2 waste into new building materialsCement production is responsible for five to eight per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions. A new study suggests that waste could be made into even more construction materials. Inspired by the way sea creatures build shells, Allesandro Rotto Loria — a civil and environmental engineer from Northwestern University — says they can use CO2 to boost the process to produce carbon-negative materials that could be used in materials like plaster, cement and as a replacement for sand in concrete. Their research is in the journal Advanced Sustainable Systems. A Dinosaur expert goes green — with a deep look at plant evolutionPaleontologist Riley Black has authored several books on dinosaurs. But she realized she had been neglecting the organisms that made dinosaurs – and all other animals – possible: plants. Her new book, When the Earth Was Green: Plants, Animals, and Evolution's Greatest Romance, looks at how plant fossils are telling the billion-years old tale of the evolution of complex life on Earth, from creating the oxygen that we breathe, to coaxing us out of the water and onto land, and even forming the forests that humans evolved in, which shaped our very anatomy from long arms and grippy toes.

Ottawa is putting reciprocal tariffs on U.S. goods after another 25 per cent tariff came into effect on steel and aluminum. Prime minister-designate Mark Carney says he is waiting until he is sworn in before speaking to U.S. president Donald Trump.People in Ontario's steel town, Hamilton, say they are worried about their jobs. And the effect will trickle down to the whole local economy. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says the tariffs will stay in place until the country's manufacturing catches up.Also: The Bank of Canada cuts its trend-setting rate by a quarter of a percentage point. It also signalled an economic slowdown has started — spurred in part by the uncertainty brought on by tariff chaos.And: The world is waiting to hear what Russian President Vladimir Putin will say about a proposed ceasefire in Ukraine. Trump says it's a good deal; Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed on. But it will fall apart if Putin rejects it.Plus: Demonstrators in New York City support a Palestinian activist arrested for on-campus demonstrations at Columbia University, the Canadian Navy's top commander is in Antarctica, and more.

I started my hike up Mount Douglas, hoping to spot the Canadian Navy vessel Raven 56. Navigating trails like Harrop and Power Lines, I reached Glendenning and checked my app, which confirmed the ship's position. Unfortunately, the glare on the horizon made it impossible to see or photograph the vessel, so I changed plans and began my descent via Irvine Trail. Along the way, I took photos, reflected on my morning, and slipped on wet rock, reminding me of the challenges of downhill running. Despite missing the ship, I enjoyed the outing, recorded bird sounds, and saw it as another good experience for my podcasting journey.

Our focus for this episode is Exercise Cutlass Fury, a biennial Canadian Navy-led multi-national exercise that provides an opportunity for allied forces to train in a joint maritime environment. This training includes anti-submarine warfare, air defence, and surface warfare to name a few.Joining for this episode is Commodore Trevor MacLean of the Royal Canadian Navy. Commodore MacLean is the Commander of Canadian Fleet Atlantic, and he was the senior officer at sea leading Exercise Cutlass Fury 23. The principle focus of Exercise Cutlass Fury is anti-submarine warfare (ASW) but it's certainly not limited to that alone. Also exercised is air and maritime integration, and interoperability between Allies and joint elements.The exercise happened in September, and there were approximately 1,400 participating sailors, soldiers, and aviators from the armed forces of Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France.Eight ships from the Royal Canadian Navy and US Navy took part this year. Canadian ships included HMCS Charlottetown, HMCS Fredericton, HMCS Max Bernays, HMCS Glace Bay, HMCS Moncton, and for a short time the Victoria class submarine HMCS Windsor. US Navy ships comprised the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers USS Porter (DDG 78) and USS James E. Williams (DDG 95), and a US Navy Virginia class attack submarine. Also participating was the support ship USNS William McLean.In addition, multiple classes and types of aircraft participated, including the CP-140 Aurora and CH-148 Cyclone from Canada, the P-8 Poseidon from the UK, the P-3 Orion from Germany, and the Atlantique 2 maritime patrol aircraft from France. There was a lot to the exercise, but some key things to listen for include the opportunity for the Royal Canadian Navy to use one of its new Arctic and Offshore Patrol Vessel's as a target launching platform; using the Royal Canadian Navy's Distributed Mission Operations Center (DMOC) in the exercise; and exercising Link 11 and Link 16 connectivity.You'll also hear about the Royal Canadian Navy's need to modernize its Halifax class so it stays relevant into the future, and you'll hear about the distributed training that's planned for the future.It's a great chat with a lot of insight, so we thank Commodore MacLean for his time, and we hope you'll enjoy this episode of Go Bold!

Danny Morin is a 38 year old Clearance Diver with the Canadian Navy who was born in Quebec and now lives in Toronto. Accustomed to striving for high levels of fitness as part of his military training, he became curious back in 2016 to see if he could meet the standard for the Canadian Armed Forces National 5k Running competition in Ottawa.

Join J. Richard Jones as he dives into conversation with Chris Earl, Vice President, Project Delivery, Victoria Shipyards to learn more about the history and future of Canada's submarine program and how Victoria Shipyards is uniquely positioned to support it. Chris Earl joined Seaspan Victoria Shipyards in 2021, and in July 2022, assumed his current role as Vice President, Project Delivery. Chris is a retired Rear-Admiral (RAdm) in the Royal Canadian Navy, where he spent the last 35 years serving Canada. During his last four years in uniform, RAdm (Ret'd) Earl served as the Chief Engineer of the Royal Canadian Navy and was appointed as the Chief of Staff (Material); the most senior military procurement and sustainment specialist within the Material group of the Canadian Armed Forces. In his current role as Vice President, Project Delivery, Chris is responsible for all Naval maintenance programs and National Shipbuilding Strategy build support activities conducted at Victoria Shipyards. Chris is a graduate of the Royal Military College, holds a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, a Master's degree in Defence Studies, and is a graduate of both the Canadian Forces College Joint Command and Staff and National Security Programmes. Victoria Shipyards specializes in complex projects up to complete vessel conversions. It is an integral part of the Canadian Navy frigate and submarine maintenance programs, with its highly specialized and experienced team providing critical maintenance on Canada's Halifax-class frigates for over 20 years and in-service support for its Victoria-Class submarines for over a decade. Victoria Shipyards is one of the few North American shipyards executing work on international cruise vessels and performing the first major vessel LNG dual fuel conversion on two ships.

In this episode: Seaspan's history as a trusted partner in Canada's submarine maintenance and sustainment program The uniqueness of working on submarines How Team Victoria Class (with partners Babcock and BMT) is providing value for Canada Considerations for the future of Canada's submarines The future of Team Victoria Class and Seaspan And more!

We are proud to welcome as our guest, Commodore David Mazur, the Commander of Canadian Fleet Pacific.Commodore Mazur is responsible for the combat readiness of the Pacific Fleet, and he has over 10 deployers and numerous auxiliary support vessels under his command.For this episode, we were on board His Majesty's Canadian Ship (HMCS) Winnipeg, a Halifax class surface combatant while it was underway in the Eastern Pacific as the command ship for Exercise Trident Fury 2023, which is the Pacific's Fleet's premier combined and joint exercise. Exercises like Trident Fury are critical to maintaining the operational readiness of Canadian Armed Forces and allies as it presents demanding maritime conditions in a simulated hostile environment which is shaped by escalating tensions. Commodore Mazur was on board HMCS Winnipeg as the Task Group Commander during Exercise Trident Fury.The exercise had six Canadian Navy ships participating (HMCS' Winnipeg, Vancouver, Ottawa, Edmonton, Yellowknife, Nanaimo), alongside U.S. assets, NATO partners, and some ships of the Japanese Maritime Self Defence Force (JMSDF) -- JS Kashima and JS Hatakaze.A key participant in the exercise was the Combat Support Ship Asterix, a platform owned and operated by Federal Fleet Services, and is leased to the Royal Canadian Navy to provide multi-mission support, primarily with its ability to provide Replenishment-at-Sea (RAS).Asterix joined into Exercise Trident Fury while it was already underway, and that's because the ship arrived into the Eastern Pacific (on schedule) after it circumnavigated the world while supporting deployed operations of the Royal Canadian Navy.Over 1,000 military personnel took part across all units and platforms, including Royal Canadian Navy ships, numerous Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft (CF-18, CC-130H(T), CP-140), Canadian Army personnel, and units from the United States (EA-18G Growler, P-8 Poseidon, A-10 Warthog), as well as NATO partners, and Japan.Exercise Trident Fury 2023 had a number of other exercises within its overarching umbrella, including:Exercise Unified Vision, the premier NATO event for Joint Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (JISR) activities.Exercise Vital Archer, a bilateral US-Canada exercise focused on counter-terrorism, and counter weapons of mass destruction.Exercise Fox Frenzy, a missile exercise which had CF-18 Hornets engage Vindicator aerial target drones that were launched from HMCS Winnipeg.One of Exercise Trident Fury's primary objectives was pre-deployment training for HMCS Ottawa and HMCS Vancouver's deployment to the Indo-Pacific region. Known as Intermediate Multi-Ship Readiness Training (IMSRT), the training involved a full spectrum of sea and air tactical warfare training, including live-fire exercises, seamanship, maritime interdiction operations, anti-submarine warfare, surface warfare, air defense, mine counter-measures, and small boat defense.The exercise also served as an opportunity to experiment with ship crewing models for the Royal Canadian Navy, and that's to facilitate the training backlog for sailors in the wake of the training slow-down that happened as a result of the pandemic. Our conversation focused a lot on training because as the Commodore said, it's all about "saving the Navy."As an update to this episode, HMCS Ottawa and HMCS Vancouver achieved their high readiness certifications after Exercise Trident Fury, so these ships and their helicopter air detachments are now in the Indo-Pacific region as part of Operation Horizon.We wish to thank the men and women of HMCS Winnipeg for their hospitality, and we thank Commodore Mazur for the time he spent with us.Go Bold!

Join us for a continued discussion on the hope and freedom we have in Jesus. We welcome John L. Fortier AKA: The Watchdog to UpTime! John came to the Lord when he was in the Canadian Navy in 1986.

Kate Stewart is a Port Inspection Diver in the Canadian Royal Navy. Port Inspection Divers use compressed air breathing apparatus (CABA) to perform various underwater searches, surveys, and inspections, primarily for the purpose of port security. Port security is one aspect of Maritime Coastal Operations conducted to ensure the maritime security of the nation. Port Inspection Divers often work in conjunction with naval port security teams to provide underwater skill sets in support of the sovereignty and safety of Canada's numerous ports, harbors, and waterways, and may also be deployed outside Canada for operations or exercises. In addition to their main responsibilities as Port Inspection Divers, they must also carry out several tasks in support of diving activities such as driving inflatable boats and specialized dive vehicles, preparing dive sites, maintaining dive-related equipment, and conducting general and diving-related administration including forward logistics for operations. For more information on their roles and responsibilities, check out this link: (⁠https://forces.ca/en/career/port-inspection-diver/⁠) The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) relies on various groups and units within its organization to ensure that its ships and personnel are protected, both at home in Canada and around the world. Kate Stewart has been part of one of these groups for the past 5 years. This group is the Naval Tactical Operations Group (NTOG), a full-time dedicated unit within the RCN that specializes in advanced boarding operations at sea. This includes maritime interdiction operations, which is the interception of suspect vessels to prevent the movement of illicit cargo and materiel at sea. Additional duties include force protection which entails protecting Navy ships, infrastructure, and personnel all over the world (https://www.canada.ca/en/navy/corporate/fleet-units/specialized-units/ntog.html).  This is like the United States military's VBSS (Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure). This term is used by United States military and law enforcement agencies for maritime boarding actions and tactics. VBSS teams are designed to capture enemy vessels, combat terrorism, piracy, and smuggling, and to conduct customs, safety and other inspections.

Canadian Navy ship patrolling the central Mediterranean under NATO's arms embargo operation tracks down and hails a suspicious vessel. The ship's boarding team find dozens of rebels transporting arms from Benghazi to Misrata. NATO's highest command decides to allow the vessel to procede, as the arms had not come from outside Libya and were intended to defend civilians in Misrata.

This week we head out east to Halifax, Nova Scotia and hear from Dave Reage, Executive Director of Halifax Transit about his uniquely Canadian transit system. In conversation with Paul, Dave talks about the balance of being a center of government, the Atlantic home of the Canadian Navy, serving rural communities, and running a commuter ferry service across Halifax Harbor. As a trivia note, Halifax and Vancouver are the only transit systems in Canada that integrate ferries into the transit system. Dave has spent 15 years working at Halifax Transit and is overseeing its transition to zero emission transit as part of the HalifACT climate action plan. Halifax Transit is looking at both battery electric and hydrogen to power its buses so he can make sure his system is disaster ready. Next week on Transit Unplugged we have the first of two shows with recipients of Mass Transit's 40 Under 40 awards and Mass Transit Editor-in-Chief Mischa Wanak-Libman. If you have a question, comment, or would like to be a guest on the show, email us at info@transitunplugged.com.

Historian Ted Barris explores how the Canadian navy's efforts in the Atlantic were vital to defeating Nazi Germany in the Second World War, in his new book Battle of the Atlantic: Gauntlet to Victory.

Our podcast regularly features senior leaders across branches of the military. Today's guest is Captain Sheldon Gillis of the Royal Canadian Navy.Captain Gillis is currently serving as the Deputy Fleet Commander of Maritime Forces Atlantic, otherwise known as the Canadian Fleet Atlantic.Captain Gillis recently served as the Naval Task Group Commander for Operation Nanook 2022, where he led a multinational flotilla which was focused on northern and Arctic operations.The Arctic region of Canada encompasses over 40% of total land mass and 75% of national coastline. From a continental defence perspective, the Arctic is of great importance to Canada and therefore to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) as the region yields the shortest route for ballistic missiles, strategic bombers and cruise weapons to reach populated areas of North America. Operation Nanook consists of four yearly sovereignty and military deployments in the Arctic, and serves to strengthen the Canadian Armed Force's (CAF) knowledge of the Arctic, and hone its ability to operate there. The Operation also allows the CAF to work hand-in-hand with other Arctic nations and key non-Arctic Allies and partners in combined activities to ensure the region remains a low tension zone of global cooperation where the rules-based international order is preserved.Our discussion focuses on the deployment and on the new Arctic and Offshore Patrol Vessels (also known as the Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships) which are entering service with the Canadian Navy. We discuss the utility of the ships, the ways they are being employed, and the potential for future enhancements. We also discuss the high North and the Arctic as an important region to Canada, and as an area that is of growing interest to adversaries like Russia and even China.So important is the Arctic that NATO's new Strategic Concept identifies Russia's capabilities in the High North as a strategic challenge for the whole AllianceWe thank Captain Gillis for his insight on the new AOPV ships, and for his perspective on the incredibly important region that is the high North and the Arctic.Go Bold!

I found myself immersed in the story of John “Dutchy” Edwards as Helen described the book and told story after story of what he went through in his long career in the Canadian Navy. He went through two world wars and visited many different countries. https://dutchysdiaries.ca/   http://edwardsheritageconsulting.ca/   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08L6J2RXK/ IN A NAVAL CAREER that spanned nearly four decades and led him to ports of call and engagements around the globe, John “Dutchy” Edwards rose from cadet to Commodore in a career rich in adventure and service to his country. This carefully researched and faithfully reproduced volume of his journals begins with Dutchy’s early naval experiences in the theatre of battle during the First World War, then follows his peacetime progress on the west and east coasts of Canada in the “Roaring Twenties”. It continues in a return to the Mediterranean aboard HMS Valiant and concludes with North American patrols in command of HMCS Champlain. HELEN EDWARDS’ extensive research skills and knowledge of family history have immeasurably enriched Dutchy’s journals, bringing his words to life for a worldwide audience and enhancing our understanding of one of the most notable periods in Canada’s emergence onto the world stage.

On this episode of the Diversity at Work podcast, I interviewed David Hudock, who spent 32 years in senior leadership positions in the Canadian Navy. I sat down with him to talk about what it’s like to lead in crisis situations, as we are currently navigating uncertain times. I wanted to learn from someone who has experience leading big teams during really challenging times. I was looking for a perspective that is different from the typical business books on how to step up, how to be there for your team, and what it looks like to be a leader today.

Conservative Party of Canada leader Andrew Scheer joins us. Issues:   G20.  Canada/China relations. Is the Ministry of Defence agreement with departing vice-Admiral Mark Norman an non-disclosure agreement, or is it not?  DND will not confirm an NDA exists, but declares the agreement to be confidential.  Huh?   Western Premiers meeting. CPC climate change plan. Ontario court split-decision support that Trudeau gov may impose carbon tax on the province.  This week we found out Admiral Mark Norman negotiated an exit deal from the CAF which now may or may not be a non-disclosure-agreement, according to DND/Ministry of National Defence. Refuse to define the agreement as an NDA, but argue the contents are confidential.  Trudeau refuses to explain at G20. Canadian taxpayers will pay, but find out nothing(?) about what was negotiated and will the Admiral be free to share with Canadians what he experienced during the public shaming and cruelty he and his family experienced? Will we ever find out what the entire false attack on Admiral Norman cost taxpayers, or is that confidential as well? At the core of the Admiral Norman case is The MV Asterix. Purchased by :            Federal Fleet Services (a sister company to Davie Shipbuilding) Asterix was a commercial container ship converted into a Canadian Navy supply ship and brought in on time and on budget. The ship is doing tremendous service for the RCN. We find out about the MV Asterix which remains owned by Federal Fleet Services and is leased to the RCN for 10 years.  Kawhi Leonard still not confirmed to return as a Toronto Raptor, or move to another NBA team ... and NHL free agents moving around, plus trades.  What is offered to pro athletes by way of $$ and inducements, either to persuade them to stay or move to another team and what's the impact on team fans?

Todd Ross currently lives in Toronto. He served in the Canadian Navy from 1987 till 1990 when he was released for being gay. As a young sailor, he was investigated by the military police. The investigation lasted 18-months and when he finally admitted that he was gay, he was released with an honorable discharge. In 2016, he joined two other former soldiers to launch a lawsuit against the Canadian government and on November 28, 2017, the government of Canada settled the class action lawsuit. The settlement was on the same day Prime Minister Trudeau made the historic apology to LGBTQ2 people in Canada. As part of the settlement, a $25 million reconciliation and memorialization fund was established. Todd serves as the Vice-Chair of this fund. He is Métis and is the President of the Toronto and York Region Métis Council (The Métis are a distinct Indigenous people in Canada). We’ve all heard the old adage that “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.” For many in the LGBTQ community in the United States, the other side of the fence has been Canada. LGBTQ2 rights in Canada are some of the most advanced in the Americas and in the world. But is the grass really greener north of the border. Todd talks about life in Canada as a member of the LGBTQ community – the good, the bad, the real and lessons we can all learn from our neighbors to the north.

Introduction This is the Northern 90 Podcast with Pat Sweet, Episode 9. Welcome to the Northern 90 Canadian Premier League Podcast, covering the beautiful game in the great white north. For more Canadian Premier League content, head over to Northern90.ca. That’s Northern Nine Zero dot ca. Welcome Hello, Canada, and welcome to the Northern 90 Canadian Premier League Podcast! In today’s episode, we're doing something a little bit different. Today, you'll get to hear my very first interviews with some of the founding members of Privateers 1882, the supporters' group that gave up its original name to the club they support - Halifax Wanderers FC. I caught up with the guys at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport to welcome some of the club's new players to the city. The interviews were a lot of fun, I learned a lot, and I get the feeling that this is just the beginning of something much bigger for the show. But before we get to the interviews, let's tackle this week's CPL headlines. News In this week's headlines: Pre-season is officially upon us, with players reporting to their respective clubs for the first time in the last week or so. And while Pacific FC's players are hanging out in picturesque and beautifulTofino, British Columbia, FC Edmonton Coach Jeff Paulus sent his squad to the woodsfor some character building. Check the links in the show notes for the pictures, they're actually very cool, and I'll let you guess which head coach is a former sailor in the Canadian Navy. Earlier this month, the International Football Association Board approved some updates to the rules of the game, including a more precise definition of handball, having subs leave via the nearest boundary, team officials being able to get yellow and red cards, and several others. Additionally, the CanPL will be implementing these new rules this year. Check out the details using the links in the show notes. The latest Canadian Men's National Team call-ups have been announcedfor the final game of the CONCACAF Nations League Qualifying tournament. It's a mix of old and new and is overall very encouraging. You've got your usual suspects, including Cyle Larin, Alphonso Davies, Jonathan Osorio, Junior Hoilett, Atiba Hutchinson... Of note, Will Johnson has been called up for the first time in two years. I'm a big fan of his - as much for his passion and for his playing. And nobody, and I mean nobodydoes the "incredulous" look quite like him. I'll post a good example of that in the show notes for you. Credit: https://twitter.com/jay_riddle/status/997652391293063169[/caption] Finally, members of the CanWNT unveiled the new official national team Nike kitsin an event in France. The home kit is red, and has the Canada Soccer logo on one side, and the Nike logo on the left. The away kit is white with the same logos. I really wish there were more to say about them, but that's literally all that can be said. Pretty uninspired, but that's OK because the CPL's Kurt Larson has promised some really incredible Macron kits for our league when they finally drop - so we'll just have to save our excitement fo then.

Check it out at northern90.ca/join. Next up, wandering around with Privateers 1882 in an airport named after underwear. Interviews with Privateers 1882 This week's episode marks the first interviews I've ever had on the show, and I'm very excited about this. To set the scene, the Privateers 1882 Twitter account announced that Halifax Wanderers players would be landing at the Halifax airport later that week and that people were welcome to come to join them. So, I did what any rational soccer fan would do. I canceled my Friday night plans, bought a portable mic, and made the long drive out to the airport. I caught up with three members of Privateers 1882, including: Garret McPhee Carlos Benites, and James Covey Garret McPhee The first voice you'll hear is from Garret McPhee What struck me about Garret was his passion. He's an absolute wealth of knowledge, not just about the club, but also the history of sport in this province. He's the kind of guy you'd want to buy a pint and just sit and listen to. Garret McPhee: Carlos Benites Carlos and I chatted quite a bit before I started recording He was especially excited about the club's South American signings, not just because he's from Peru, but because his friends and family back home were excited that we were getting players of such quality. Gutierrez and Perea are names that are known. Carlos Benites: James Covey Mr. James Covey is the president of the Privateers 1882 Supporters' Group. I had actually run into James earlier that day at a pizza shop in downtown Dartmouth. You can spot James from a mile away, always sporting his Wanderers ball cap and scarf. James has been instrumental in helping rally support for the club and organized Privateers 1882 into the force that it is. I think you'll hear in the way he speaks just how excited he is about his club and this league materializing before his eyes. James Covey: Thoughts on the way home Something I think you'll hear in all three voices is the excitement, and a certain sense of wonder in all this. It's amazing to see a new club materialize before your eyes, and you can tell just how invested these guys are in the project and its success. I can only imagine that the story is the same throughout the country, with countless people doing their part to bring this project to life and make it a success this year and for years to come. So often, sport is about consumption of what's been created. You watch the games, you buy the gear, you read the stories. But, as James said, this is a unique time in that we're witnessing, and even taking part in, the creation of this new league. And as excited as we all are for things to get off the ground and for the games to start, I think it's important to take a moment and enjoy what we're all involved in right here and now. We're all part of something big here, and that's worth appreciating. What do you think? If you've listened to the show, you know I love to hear from you guys - especially with this being my first episode featuring an interview. I'd love to know what you think of this deal. You can: Leave a comment at northern90.ca/episode9 Write to me at pat at northern90.ca Fire me a note on Twitter @northernninety Next up, the mailbag. Mailbag Some great messages and ideas this week to share with you. Blaise left an excellent comment on the show notes from the last episode. It was pointed out that in my analysis of days of rest per game, I didn't include the Canadian Championship, and that that would likely balance out the pace of the spring and fall halves. While I haven't done the math yet, I suspect Blaise is right on the money with that, so thank you! Ed from Toronto wrote to make some suggestions on different episodes I could do in the future, including supporter group rituals, songs, and mascots, which are all great, so I've added that to my podcast plan. Finally, Fabien (@fabienlloyd) on Twitter made a strong case for the league not being able to start earlier than late April. I made the suggestion in the last episode that at some point the league might consider expanding the season, because if MLS can do it, why can't we. Fabien made the argument that, for the most part, the Canadian teams play away games early on. I'd like to know what you think - could CPL be starting earlier and playing a longer season? Let me know in the show notes or on Twitter. Outroduction That's all we've got for the show today. If you liked the show, don't forget to subscribe to it, and when you do leave an honest review. That helps me make the show better and others find it. Also, if you've been enjoying this show, you should join my supporters' group. When you join you get a weekly newsletter with curated CPL content, access to a members-only Facebook group, contests, giveaways, fantasy leagues, all sorts of good stuff. And it's free.

The case of Canadian Admiral Mark Norman criminally charged with 'breach of trust' for allegedly leaking federal government secrets in order to assist a shipyard in Quebec with a $700 million contract to build a Canadian Navy supply ship. Admiral Norman's lead lawyer Marie Henein is threatening to call both Gerald Butts and Michael Wernick to the stand if records from the PMO and Privy Council Office – including the emails of Trudeau, Butts and Wernick and other communications concerning Admiral Norman – are not turned over.  How does a former Canadian military officer who knows Admiral Norman assess what is happening to the Admiral and former Second-in-Command of Canada's military? Guest:  Laurie Hawn. Former Air Force CF-18 pilot and member of parliament. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - Jody Wilson-Raybould's testimony before the parliamentary justice committee on Wednesday rocked the Trudeau government. The Prime Minister said he "completely disagrees with the former Attorney General's characterizations of events." The attacks on Wilson-Raybould and her credibility have since begun while Canadians have largely expressed strong support for the former Attorney General. Roy speaks with Chief Bill Wilson, Kwakwaka'wakw hereditary chief and Jodie Wilson-Raybould's father, about how the Trudeau Liberals and others have reacted to his daughter's testimony. One of the reactions to Jody Wilson-Raybould's testimony came from Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer, who declared that he was "sickened and appalled" and immediately called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign. The Conservative Party's leader joins Roy to discuss what comes next. Canadians are becoming increasingly familiar with the story around a criminal charge against Vice Admiral Mark Norman, and his removal from command. Norman has been charged with breach of trust for allegedly leaking cabinet information concerning the acquisition of a much needed supply ship for the Canadian Navy. Now Admiral Norman's lawyers—led by Marie Heinen—are zeroing in on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Gerald Butts, Trudeau Chief of Staff Katie Telford, Clerk of the Privy Council Michael Wernick, and Zita Astravas, former issues manager in the PM's Office and now chief of staff to Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan. Brian Platt covered this for the National Post. From May 2012 - November 2014, the Charbonneau Commission investigated the infiltration of Quebec's construction industry by crime groups. It resulted in 66,000 pages of transcript, with the Mafia and Hells Angels identified as major players. SNC-Lavalin surfaced here as well as the company had been illegally delivering funds to Quebec politicians it favoured. A "Strawman" practice was engaged where SNC employees and their family members, some earning as little as $32,000 per year, donated up to $1000 to either the provincial Liberals or Parti Quebecois. Between 1998 and 2010 $1 million had been 'donated.' It was understood that the company would reimburse these political party gifts at the end of the year through performance bonuses for those employees. Antonio Nicaso is an expert on organized crime who testified before the Charbonneau Commission. He and Roy now discuss corruption in Quebec, and the concerns surrounding SNC-Lavalin. How is the SNC-Lavalin Affair viewed outside Canada's borders? The New York Times published a story titled:  The Strange Story Behind the SNC-Lavalin Affair, in which writer Ian Austen takes apart the Affair in point form. Ian joins Roy to explain the perception held by Americans, and how he took on the story. - Guests: Chief Bill Wilson, Kwakwaka'wakw hereditary chief, and Jodie Wilson-Raybould's father Andrew Scheer, Leader of the Conservative Party Brian Platt, Parliament Hill reporter for the National Post Antonio Nicaso, expert on organized Crime, Queen's University lecturer and author of 27 books on Organized Crime, including ‘Bad Blood: Mafia Boss Vito Rizutto's Last War' which has been adapted into the Television series ‘Bad Blood,' now on Netflix Ian Austen, reports on Canada for the New York Times See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of The Sofa King Podcast, we realize that the truth is out there, and we explore the wild stories of Unidentified Submerged Objects, or USOs. USOs are the underwater equivalent of a UFO. They are unidentified to be sure, and they typically both fly and move underwater as well. USO tales range from sketchy speculation to pretty crazy accounts involving various militaries, police, and civilians simultaneously. From orbs of light and crafts out flying jet fighters to week long military hunts and giant sea people, the USO is where it’s at. So, what accounts exist? Here’s a quick run-down: 1982 Lake Baikal in USSR: This may be our favorite. It happens in the oldest lake on Earth, and it involves a fight between Soviet naval divers and nine foot tall humanoids who leave their USO and attack with sonar weapons that give the Russians the bends! USS Nimitz Encounter: The New York Times uncovered an account of a USO butting heads with the US Navy off the shore of San Diego in 2004. It involves an air craft carrier, a gun ship, six different fighter planes, and even comes with a video of the thing flying through the night sky with pilots tripping out on what it could be. (Go here for the video and the official Naval record: https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a14456936/that-time-the-us-navy-had-a-close-encounter-with-a-ufo/) Point Dume Alien Base: A strange structure on the ocean floor a few miles away from Malibu makes people think it is an alien base propped up on pillars, large enough for submarines to glide through. Baltic Sea Anomaly: This is an alleged downed USO on the ocean floor in the Baltic sea. It was discovered by professional treasure hunters, and it looks eerily like the Millennium Falcon. Feel free to Google this one. Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia: This account is from 1967, and it involves a whole area of the country side, the Canadian Navy, Canadian Mounties, the coast guard, civilian crafts, divers, and a full blown search for a downed airplane that leads to a week-long show down with two USOs and the Canadian Navy. We cover these cases, a crazy one in Norway, and even a USO that messed with Christopher Columbus. If you think aliens are among us, just look to the waters and give this one a listen.

Especially in the last two years, those reporting on defense issues in the United States have seen a significant change in access to people and information compared to the relatively open environment of a decade and a half ago.How have things changed and how does this not only impact how military journalists do their job, but more importantly, how does it impact the ability for the American citizen to keep an eye on what is being done in their name with their money.Our guest for the full hour to discuss this and related issues with be Sam LaGrone.Sam is the editor of USNI News. He has covered legislation, acquisition and operations for the Sea Services since 2009 and spent time underway with the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and the Canadian Navy.

In this episode we talk about microbrews, music, and the first time we tried a beer.

Have you ever felt like you got the short end of the genealogy stick when it comes to family heirlooms? Maybe you haven't inherited much in the way of family photos or memorabilia, or maybe you feel like you've tapped out all the potential goodies that are out there to find. In this episode I'll share an email I got from Helen, because she reminds us that you should never say never.  I've also got another amazing story about an adoption reunion. And we'll also check in with our Genealogy Gems Book Club Guru Sunny Morton about this quarter's featured book, The Lost Ancestor by Nathan Dylan Goodwin. And of course all kinds of other genealogy news and tips for you.  We're going to take all that genealogy and technology noise out there and distill it down into the best of the best, the genealogy gems that you can use. I'm just back from several weeks on the road. Since we last got together in episode 178 I've been to Cape Cod to talk to the Cape Cod Genealogical Society about Time Travel with Google Earth, and all you Genealogy Gems Premium Members have that video class and handout available to you as part of your Premium membership – and if you're not a member click Premium in the main menu at genealogygems.com to learn more about that.  And then Bill and I headed to Providence, RI where I was the keynote at the NERGC conference. That was my first time ever to New England so it was a real treat. And we teamed up once again with the Photo Detective and Family Chartmasters and held our free Outside the Box mini genealogy sessions in our booth which were very popular. Then I had a 2 day turnaround and Lacey and I were off to Anchorage Alaska to put on an all-day seminar at the Anchorage Genealogical Society.   Another great group of genealogists! And Lacey and I added an extra couple of days to explore, and explore we did. We booked a half day ATV tour to explore the National forest outside Anchorage. Now this was before the start of tourist season, so there we are, to gals driving out of town, onto a dirt road and waiting at the meeting spot in the middle of nowhere where we met Bob the Guide. He looked like he was straight out of Duck Dynasty! He showed us how to drive the ATVs, assured us that the bears weren't quite out yet, and then packing his side arm pistol lead us out into the wilderness for 4 ½ hours of amazing scenery. It was like we had the entire forest to ourselves. This guide would pull over every once and while, whip out a telescopic lens on a tripod and in seconds would zero in on something way over on the mountain across the valley, and he'd say “look in there. See that clump of snow with legs, that's a Mountain Goat, or that's a Dall Sheep.” It was incredible. We saw moose, and muskrat, the biggest rabbit's I've ever seen in my entire life, which Bob the Guide called bunnies, and he was right, the only thing we never saw was bear. But that was just fine with me and Lacey! So after our mountain safari we flew home and I gave an all-day seminar in my own backyard in Denton, TX, and then Bill and I jumped in the suburban and drove to St. Charles Missouri where I spoke at the National Genealogical Society Conference. St. Charles is just on the other side of the river from St. Louis, and we were pleasantly surprised to find the a quaint little main street. Diahan Southard Your DNA Guide here at Genealogy Gems was with us and Diahan and I drug poor Bill in and out of every “foo foo potpourri” shop they had when we weren't busy meeting so many of you at the booth or in class. It was a 4 day conference, which is A LOT of genealogy, but we had a blast and again teamed up with Family Chartmasters, The Photo Detective and Family Tree Magazine for an Outside the Box extravaganza of free sessions in the booth. And this time Diahan Southard joined in with sessions on Genetic Genealogy. And all this reminds me of an email I received recently from Shelly. She writes: “I am a new listener and new premium member of Genealogy Gems.  Thanks for getting me motivated to organize my research and get back into learning my family history. I had never thought about attending a genealogy conference before but listening to your podcasts has gotten me interested in going.  There is a conference coming up in less than two weeks only 1 1/2 hours from me in St. Charles, Mo. I can't afford to attend the actual conference, but would it be worth it to just go to the free exhibit space? I listened to one of your podcasts that mentioned you and a few others give free mini classes. Please let me know what you think. Thanks, Shelly” I told Shelly that I thought it would absolutely be worth it. In fact, that is one of our goals with our free Outside the Box sessions in our booth - to give everyone a free opportunity to experience a genealogy conference. The hall is very large, there will be loads of exhibitors, and you not only attend any and all of our sessions, but at most larger conferences you'll usually also find companies like Ancestry, MyHeritage and FamilySearch holding sessions at their booths. Well Shelly took my advice and she wrote back. She says: “Thanks for your encouragement to attend the NGS exhibitor area!  I was able to attend on Friday and enjoyed looking at all the booths and talking to some of the exhibitors.  I was also able to attend a few Outside the Box sessions also, although yours were too crowded to see or hear very well!  Thanks so much for doing this.  While waiting for a free session to start in another area, I overheard two men talking about DNA for genealogical purposes and privacy.  My ears perked up as they discussed an instance where a DNA sample sent to Ancestry.com was used to help solve a crime committed by a relative of the DNA tester.  I don't have enough information to form any opinions on that case, but the question of privacy came up when I was asked my mother to take a DNA test for me.  The first thing she said was that it sounded interesting but she was worried whether the government or the police could get ahold of the information.  I encouraged her to read the privacy information on the site and to let me know, but I told her I didn't see how anyone could get the information.  Her curiosity got the better of her, as I knew it would, and she agreed to the testing and I am awaiting the results.  The funny thing is that my mother does have a criminal history and has served over ten years in prison (I was raised by my father from age 5).  Hopefully there aren't any serious unsolved crimes my mom has been involved in!  She is 64 now so hopefully the statute of limitations has passed for most crimes.  I will let you know if the FBI come knocking on my door :)” I want to say thank you to all of you listening who stopped by the booth and welcome to all our new listeners who got to know us at these recent conferences and seminars, we are very glad you are here! Recent Family Tree Magazine Evernote Webinar: In the last year I've moved from Earthquake central (California) to Tornado Alley (Texas) and it's been a bit of an adjustment to say the least. 2 weeks ago while I was presenting a webinar on using Evernote for genealogy for Family Tree Magazine when my husband silently placed a note in front of me. It said that we were under tornado watch and if it got any worse he was hauling me off the computer and into the storm shelter! I hung in there, and thankfully it blew over and we finished the webinar. Genealogy wins again! (And yes, the video of the webinar is coming soon to Premium Membership.) Then last night we spent about an hour in our shelter room while our county got pummeled with torrential rain, non-stop lightening, and yes, even a few tornadoes touched down. Our devoted dogs Howie and Kota instinctively blocked the doorway to the shelter in an effort to keep us safe. They did a good job, and all is well! All this threat of danger and destruction has reinforced my decision to bring into our Genealogy Gems family a brand new sponsor. Backblaze is now the official back up of Lisa Louise Cooke's Genealogy Gems. If you've been to the RootsTech conference then you may already be familiar with them. Backblaze is a trusted online cloud backup service that truly makes backing up all your most precious computer files super easy.  The thought of losing my genealogy files is too much to bear. Now I can concentrate on keeping my loved ones safe through the storms of life because I know Backblaze is taking care of my files and photos! Many of you have asked me which company I use to back up my files. I've done my homework and Backblaze is my choice. I invite you to visit and get all your files backed up once and for all.   “Dear Lisa, Thanks for the latest email. I have been using Backblaze for a year now. I thankfully have not needed their complete services :-), but I love the feeling of being protected. Have a great weekend! It was so nice to meet you at Roostech in February. Thanks, Ellen” Tyler Moss, the dean of Family Tree University wrote me after a recent webinar I gave for them: “One woman typed an ellipsis (…) in to the chat box. I messaged her back and said “I'm sorry, did you mean to send a question? All I see are three periods.” And she said, “Oh no, I'm just in wonder at all the awesome things I can now do in Evernote!” The webinar we were doing was called “Enhance Your Genealogy with Evernote” and in that session which we recorded on to video as well I covered 10 terrific genealogy projects you can use Evernote for to improve your research, organization and productivity.  My motto these days is, save time by being more efficient so you have more time to spend with your ancestors, and that's what this training session was all about. And the good news for all of you who are Genealogy Gems Premium Members is that the video and downloadable handout are coming very soon to the Premium Videos section of genealogygems.com. Look for the announcement of its release in our weekly free newsletter. You can sign up for the free Genealogy Gems weekly e-newsletter on our homepage. GEM: Evernote Library Project Create an Evernote Genealogy Book Library: Create a new notebook called “Library” With your smart phone or tablet, snap photos of the cover of each of your genealogical books Send the photos to the Library notebook in Evernote (on your mobile device tap the share icon and tap Evernote. You will need to have authorized the Evernote app.) Another option is to email them to your unique Evernote email address which will also place them in Evernote. Evernote will apply Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to each image making them keyword searchable. To see if you already have a book, tap the notebook and then search an applicable keyword. Inspiration and motivation from Helen: A recent email from listener Helen reminds us to search our basements and attics for unique and amazing family history finds. There's no substitute for being able to tell family members' stories through their own words and photographs. “I just had to tell you about my recent find. My late father-in-law served in the Canadian Navy for 39 years, entering Naval College when he was only 14. Most of my knowledge about his life came from talking with him before he died. Of course, then I did not know the questions to ask. “About a month ago, I was preparing for a lecture on his life for a local World War 1 Seminar. I starting looking around in our basement as I knew we had some material from when we cleared out his house when he died, but I had no idea of just what exciting material I would find. “I found his personal diaries, with the earliest from 1916! The journals give an amazing first-person record of naval service from a person who devoted his life to the service of his country. I was able to weave his actual words into the somewhat dry official record of his long time service [ending with] his being presented with a Commander of the British Empire medal shortly before his retirement. “I am so grateful that the family saved these invaluable documents through the myriad of moves that a naval officer's career entails. In a different box, I found his photographs from the same era—some even earlier than the journals. I am now seriously considering publishing the journals along with the photographs, as they deserved to be shared.” Genealogy Gems Premium members can to access Premium podcast episode 116 to hear a discussion between two authors of books on life-story writing, and to access a Premium podcast AND video on how to make a family history video Her Birth Mom Was Her Co-Worker! Birth Family Reunion A woman recently went searching for her birth mom after receiving a copy of her adoption records (these  in her home state of Ohio). She didn't have to search very far: just in a different department at her workplace. “When [La-Sonya] Mitchell-Clark first received her birth records in the mail on Monday and saw the name Francine Simmons, she immediately plugged it into Facebook,” reports the story on . It didn't take long for her to recognize her mother as a woman who worked at the same business she did. “Following a tearful reunion, the two…discovered that they live just six minutes away from one another,” reports the article. La-Sonya also learned that she has three birth sisters, one of whom also works at the same company. Wow! Company picnics and water cooler chats must suddenly seem a lot more meaningful after this birth family reunion.

I've read them both. Hiding the Past takes us into a genealogical mystery set in World War II and it's a similar type of read as The Lost Ancestor. I enjoyed it. The Orange Lilies is a novella set at Christmastime. Here Morton puts his skills to work—and his emotions—to confront the story of his own origins and a family story from the Western Front in World War I a century ago. It's a more personal story and Nathan I think is pushing into newer territory as a writer in dealing with more intimate emotion. But I like seeing Morton have these experiences. I also have a few more titles to recommend along these lines. It's that “If you liked this book, we think you'll also like…” The Marriage Certificate by Stephen Molyneux. This is a novel. I opened to the first page and the About the Author made me laugh: Stephen, amateur genealogist, lives in Hampshire and the South of France with two metal detectors and a long-suffering wife.” The book opens with a scenario many of us may be sympathetic with. A genealogy buff buys a marriage certificate he sees on display at an antiques gallery. He begins researching the couple with an idea of returning the certificate to them. Eventually he uncovers several secrets, one with some money attached to it, but others are also chasing this money. It may sound a bit far-fetched but it doesn't unfold that way. I like the surprise twists that bring the story into the present day. I also liked living out a little fantasy of own through Peter, the main character: that of being that genealogical research hero who brings something valuable from the pasts to living relatives today. Another book I recently enjoyed is Out of the Shoebox: An Autobiographical Mystery by Yaron Reshef. This one's a more serious, and I think a little more sophisticated, read. In this memoir (so a true story), Yaron gets a phone call about a piece of property his father purchased in Israel years ago. He and his sister can inherit it, but only if they can prove that man was their father. He goes on an international paper chase into the era of World War II, the Holocaust and the making of Israel. Then a forgotten bank account surfaces. There's more, of course, in Yaron's two-year quest to understand the tragedies of his family's past and recover some of its treasures. There's another series I've been made aware of but haven't read yet. This is Jimmy Fox's Nick Herald Genealogical Mystery series: Deadly Pedigree, Jackpot Blood and Lineage and Lies. The hero is an American genealogist who lives and works in New Orleans, of course one of the most colorful and historical parts of the U.S. I'll put links to all of these on our Genealogy Gems Book Club webpage, which you can find at .

Thanks for the shout-out in Episode 14 regarding the Diginotar report. Unfortunately I'm going to have to award you guys a mini-derp award for your comments that same episode on the story about the Canadian Navy buying satellite services from Inmarsat as satellites just happen to be my area of expertise. Yes, Canada does have its own communications satellites. They are managed by a company called Telesat. However, they are not of use to the Canadian Navy because they are located in the wrong place, operate on the wrong frequencies, and provide the wrong types of services for what the Navy needs. Communications satellites of this type operate in the geostationary belt (GEO), an orbit around the Equator 36,000 km above the Earth. The radio spectrum in this orbit is pretty congested, so early on international regulation of the satellites in this orbit and the spectrum they use was given to an organization called the ITU. Countries apply to the ITU for specific orbital slots and frequencies in the GEO belt and then license those to their companies. Canada has slots over North America and associated frequencies that are used by Telesat for what's called Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) - mainly broadcast TV and a host of communications services to remote communities in northern Canada. But these frequencies and antenna patterns are not what's used for mobile communications, nor does Canada have any satellite slots in other locations to provide global coverage which is kinda important for ships. Inmarsat on the other hand has the slots and frequency allocations to specialize in Mobile Satellite Services (MSS). They have a fleet of satellites located at various points around the Equator to give global coverage and the types of frequencies and coverage to provide mobile services to ships. Pretty much if you're operating a ship you're going to buy services from Inmarsat. More: Telesat and Inmarsat Brian W. Skyrim Jokes Hey guys, I don't have any Skyrim jokes but do have an odd anecdote for you. While playing Skyrim and listening to the LSD, I've found that I _have_ to turn off the xbox kinect controls or else bad things happen. Apparently Matt's voice is finely tuned as a Weirding Word. I'll be merrily bopping around a character in a dungeon of some type when, all of a sudden, a dragon shout get kicked off and kills all attempts at stealth that I've been trying to muster. It's only Matt's voice that kicks off the shouts. Take that for what you will. John D. Fus Roh Dah! Wrong questions being asked about security involvement in PMO/SDLC work Hey guys, I'm listening to 0x15 and a question made in there really got in between my teeth. "Does making security part of the SDLC make the software more secure?" is the wrong question to be asking. Whether or not having risk evaluations or threat modeling part of the SDLC should be a concern but not the approach I've found work when I've introduced it into the SDLCs of which I've been involved. Let's break out of our security cliques for a moment and realize that ultimately many of use tell ourselves that what we do matters in order to justify the dissonance we have in our brains for putting up with the crap we do because we actually enjoy what we do, for the most part. By and large, we're not altruists. Having the guts to come out and say "Yeah, I know what I do for an organization rarely makes the world a better place, but gosh darn it I like/love what I do." can go a long way to asking the right questions to keep ourselves employed and pertinent to the business that pays us to do cool things. Once you get out of the "what I do is important, dammit" mindset, asking the following question better serves us as a whole. Does making security part of the SDLC/project/product make the business more money or save the business more money had it not been part of the SDLC/project/product as much as we're pushing? If you can justify the change, you can be relatively assured that someone in charge of playing with the moneys with listen. Phrasing the question that way also lends to promoting the idea to the money people that what they do is ultimately important and feeds their own dissonance hating mechanisms. John D. P.S.

Trevor tells us a couple of stories from his not-so-sober days in the Canadian Navy. Yes, they have one of those.

Canadian Navy and International Naval Security The Canadian warship HMCS ”Calgary”, a multi-role patrol frigate, is scheduled for deployment to the Persian Gulf in 2008. Commander Kelly Larkin will talk about the Canadian Navy's role in helping to maintain naval security, as part of the USA led coalition forces, operating in that part of the world. Given the tense political climate in the Middle East, the mission is bound to have some elements of danger not normally experienced elsewhere. Commander Larkin will also give his thoughts on Canada's northern coastal waters, which could become navigable in the not too distant future. Certainly a very challenging test would await the Canadian Navy in parts of the Arctic Ocean and Northwest Passage, where waters have not previously been navigated. Few, if any, can accurately predict what effect global warming will have in general and on the Canadian Navy in particular, but no doubt Kelly Larkin will have an educated guess on the latter. Speaker: Commander Kelly Larkin CD, SSM Kelly Larkin was born in Vancouver, BC in 1961. He became a Sea Cadet in his early teens and joined the Canadian Navy in 1980. In working through the ranks, Commander Larkin has experience with most aspects of Navy life, including several postings aboard Submarines. Promoted to the rank of Naval Commander in 2002, he was given command of HMCS “Protecteur” in 2005 and since August 01, 2006, Larkin has been in charge of HMCS “Calgary”. Moderator: T. B. A.
