New toys: Royal Canadian Navy flew their uncrewed helicopter for the first time - the CU179 Peregrine - in BC on Sept. 1 👀 Designed to operate from warships, and based off a helicopter drone, it'll be integrated aboard Halifax-class frigates before River-class destroyers #surveillance

Ever wanted to see the inside of a Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker? I've got you! Come along with me on a tour of the Henry Larsen, which was anchored in Resolute Bay for Op. Nanook-Nunakput 🇨🇦 ((sorry for all my sniffles, it's the Arctic, ok?))

During an aerial recce in a twin otter 🛩️ over Little Cornwallis Island, I saw my first polar bear on the beach with its kill. Was so excited I almost dropped my phone 👀😅 #arctic #canadianrangers #thestateofthings

If you're going up North - the real North, what you're wearing matters. TSOT has partnered with Wuxly for the trip into the Arctic circle. Canadian-made and animal free.

Has the Carney govt put the RCMP on the backburner? Budget 2025 promised big $$ for more Mounties - but what about the organizational overhaul they need to be able to handle the threats Canada faces in 2026? Let's go deeper: open.substack.com/pub/thestate...
