Launch delayed 'til March due to hydrogen leaks, a balky hatch, need to launch a crew to Space Station, & geometry with the Moon.
Next opportunities: March 6, 7, 8, 9, 11.
Sorry, families. Another month of training & preparation to get it all right.
The Moon will patiently wait.

Canada is about to spend billions of dollars upgrading our defence capabilities, but has this conversation been broad enough?

Should nuclear weapons be part of Canada’s arsenal? Yikes.

Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi speaking about the provincial separation movement in a January 30th Toronto Star: "This is Danielle Smith's fault. Danielle Smith caused all of this by pandering to the separatists, by coddling them, by cosying up to Trump, by cosying up to those who want Alberta to be the 51st state - all for her own political gain," he charged. "She couldn't even bring herself to denounce the people who are conspiring with Americans to take over our country."

Tonight (Jan. 30), the waxing gibbous Moon will be near Jupiter all night. If you have a clear sky, step outside and have a look. The cold air and beauty of the night sky will do you good! SkySafari rendering. #astronomy

I believe the Canadian government is under no illusions. You can see where the defence investment priorities are, including Arctic-capable submarines, icebreakers, and greater northern infrastructure.

Attn news commentators: Trump saying he could use force to obtain Greenland but won’t is not Trump saying he won’t use force to obtain Greenland. It is Trump using force as a threat to obtain Greenland. That is why he mentions it.

After the World Trade Center was attacked (just four miles from Trump Tower), more than 40,000 Canadians in uniform fought alongside their U.S. allies in Afghanistan.

More than 2,000 Canadians were wounded.

These 158 didn't make it home.

And now this guy is giving lectures on gratitude.

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

Mark Carney gave a historic speech in Davos today, a speech that calls out appeasement and warns the world.
"There is a strong tendency for countries to go along to get along, to accommodate, to avoid trouble, to hope that compliance will buy safety.
Well it won't."

Alberta’s New Democrats are calling on the UCP to act now by:

• Declaring a provincial state of emergency for emergency rooms
• Reinstating a central command to coordinate decision-making
• Reconvening the Legislature for an emergency debate

We are now learning of even more patients who have died waiting for care. Yet the UCP still refuses to take responsibility or acknowledge the crisis.

Albertans deserve better.

Globe & Mail reporting on Canadian military's modelling of how an extended insurgency against a US invasion would play out:

In short, we'd take cues from the mujahideen.

"The aim of such tactics would be to impose mass casualties on U.S. occupying forces..."
Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion By Robert Fife, Gavin John Canada does not have the number of military personnel or the sophisticated equipment needed to fend off a conventional American attack, they said. So, the military envisions unconventional warfare in which small groups of irregular military or armed civilians would resort to ambushes, sabotage, drone warfare or hit-and-run tactics. One of the officials said the model includes tactics used by the Afghan mujahedeen in their hit-and-run attacks on Russian soldiers during the 1979-1989 Soviet-Afghan War. These were the same tactics employed by the Taliban in their 20-year war against the U.S. and allied forces that included Canada. Many of the 158 Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2014 were struck by improvised explosive devices or IEDs. The aim of such tactics would be to impose mass casualties on U.S. occupying forces, the official said. The aim of such tactics would be to impose mass casualties on U.S. occupying forces, the official said. Conscription has been ruled out for now, but the level of sacrifice that would be asked of Canadians remains a central topic, the officials said. General Jennie Carignan, Chief of the Defence Staff, has already announced her intention to create a 400,000-plus-strong reserve force of volunteers. The officials said they could be armed or asked to provide disruptions if the U.S. becomes an occupying power. A senior Defence Department official said Canada would have a maximum of three months to prepare for a land and sea invasion. The first indications that invasion orders had been sent would be expected to come from U.S. military warnings that Canada no longer has a shared skies policy with the United States, the source said. This rupture in the joint defence agreement would likely see France or Britain, nuclear-weapon states, being called on to provide support and defence for Canada against the U.S.

"Frontline doctors have been clear: in a crisis, they need to know who is in charge. The minister himself said no single person is in charge — and that’s exactly the problem."

ERs are the barometer of healthcare just as schools are the barometer of social issues.Both are the "catch-all" for systemic failures. When primary care & social safety nets fail upstream, the pressure builds in our waiting rooms. They don't just provide care; they mirror our society. #ABpoli #ABleg

If the intention of Trump's threats and tariffs against Canada was to weaken investment in our country, it failed. In 2025, the Canadian stock market rose twice as much as its American counterpart.

Danielle Smith is entirely responsible for allowing this separatist rhetoric to continue. It’s also a distraction from the real issues facing Alberta right now, like the health care crisis in our hospitals and emergency rooms.

You deserve better. For Alberta and for Canada.
