Nowruz (or even something similar) ought to be a public holiday in Canada! How can we *not* celebrate the first day of spring?

Today is Nowruz, a time to mark the arrival of spring. While many are celebrating with loved ones, we know that many are thinking of family and friends affected by conflict and uncertainty. May this Nowruz bring comfort, compassion, and a peaceful year. Norouzetan Pirouz

We live in truly bizarre and unprecedented times, where Americans are actually talking about Canada and Canadian leadership as world leaders in anything at all. My whole life, we've mostly been regarded as boring neighbours at worst or "what do they even do" at best. Mostly ignored though.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

It's been 17 years since US Airways Flight 1549 landed in the icy waters of New York’s Hudson River! The "Miracle on the Hudson" would not have been a miracle without everyone doing exactly what needed to be done at just the right moment. We are aviation’s first responders.

Today's flight was scheduled for perfect weather! If only the 50 hour inspection wasn't. Oh well. So I practiced the same procedures in the sim with a flight from Pitt Meadows to Squamish!

Share this far and wide. Conservatives only care about the rich. Everything else about their politics is theatre to distract you from the fact that they only care about the rich. And they will absolutely starve the poor "because they deserve it".

So, for the past I-don't-know-how-long, my VR headset wasn't connecting to my PC properly and I wasn't simming. It's been a few weeks. Anyway, I figured out the problem, and things are back again. I did some basic manoevers around Pitt Meadows, one touch and go, and landed.

The *goal* of my flight today was to fly from Maniwaki, QC to Chibougamou. It's a pretty long way, but more importantly, it's at the end of a long road into the middle of the bush. And along the way is Val-d'Or. Looks like a pretty nice place! However, I had to land at Lebel-Sur-Quevillon for WX.

Detox wait times in the Vancouver Coastal Health region have dropped. Some get same-day access. Through a made-in-BC model of addictions care, people now connect with care faster with just one phone number, finding support with detox, treatment, peer help, and recovery programs.

On our #sun, we often see cool, dark, temporary patches we call #sunspots. We've seen the same thing on distant stars, too. A newly improved technique is promising to improve our ability to map star spots. Here's how: buff.ly/qa7tXpY 📸 NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

Today's flight lesson wasn't quite what either one of us expected, but we made the best of it anyway. We were delayed for refuelling, but I did our inspection while we were in line for gas. Then, went through the startup, pre-taxi, and run-up checklists. The issue was that we ran out of time.
