The Toronto Circus Riot broke out on this day 170 years ago — sparked by a brawl between angry clowns and firefighters at a Victorian brothel. Here's my annual thread about one of the strangest stories in Canadian history...

Found this photo at the antique shop the other day. I thought his cap badge was very distinctive, but did not recognize it. Wondering if anyone else can help place him.

Sepia toned photo of a soldier in jodphurs and uniform standing with a cane and one hand leaning on a curved leg round small table. Possibly from the First World War. Three chevrons on his right arm and a distinctive cap badge. He favors one leg and looks directly at the camera.

First few pieces of the AFV Club M54 kit started. Happy with how things are fitting together. Tons of tiny pieces, taking my time to make sure small errors don't become big problems.

Small plastic model pieces are glued together and sitting on the instruction schematic

On this day in 2022, the brave defenders of Snake Island made their immortal response to the Moskva: "Snake Island, I, Russian warship, repeat the offer: put down your arms and surrender, or you will be bombed. Have you understood me? Do you copy?" "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

You defend your country from a bunch of orcs, who sent a hit squad to kill you. Their daily missiles slaughter your citizens, destroy your hospitals, cause civilian blood shed at bus stops - and then two foul, evil men ambush you in front of the press, so they can pillage your country.

John writes home, "The Colonel took 8 of us boys up in the mountains to do a bit of walking on snowshoes. We have to learn to walk on them because if there ever is a crash on the mountains and there is a lot of snow then we have to use them to carry the men down in litters."
