Haven't posted 'Mechs in a while. Here's my fully completed 1st Canopian Cuirassiers. Because you can't be a queer BattleTech fan without some Magistracy representation.

What they want you to believe: Wildfires = Canada mismanagement. What the data says: 335 million hectares burned globally in 2025. 3,955 fires in Canada in 2026 alone, 1,092,095 hectares in non-EU Europe, Spain, France, USA, South Africa, Australia. This is climate, not a country.

The Ministry of Natural Resources said they “didn’t see the fire” that tore through the neighbouring community of Collins “until it was too late,” due to a strain on resources with many fires burning in the area. The Ford government budgeted half of what it spent on wildfires last year for 2026.
