On Feb. 1, 1968, the Canadian Forces Reorganization Act combined the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army and Royal Canadian Air Force into the unified Canadian Armed Forces.
The move was deeply unpopular among veterans.
This is the story.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

If you had a Canadian grandparent, you may be eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship — these are new rules as of December 2025.

You might be surprised how many Americans have Canadian roots somewhere:

Unbelievable, this world we’re careening for.

Your FACE characteristics can suggest job success odds? FUCK AI.
Researchers are now saying that AI can find correlations between facial characteristics and success on the job.

The Economist says that corporations would have a “strong incentive” to deploy this technology when looking at applicants.
