A smiling athlete wearing a red jacket and a red-and-white knit hat with a maple leaf emblem holds up several gold medals attached to blue ribbons. She faces the camera closely, raising the medals in one hand. The background is blurred and outdoors, with soft natural light illuminating her face.
Canada has hosted one Winter Paralympics.
At the 2010 Winter Paralympics in Vancouver, Canada won 19 medals, including ten gold.
Canada finished third in gold medals and third in total medals.
Canadian Laureen Woolstencroft won five gold medals in Alpine Skiing.
Five glass bottles shaped like maple leaves sit in a row on a wooden railing outdoors. Each bottle is filled with maple syrup in different shades ranging from very light golden to dark amber. The bottles have gold-colored caps. Trees and a house appear blurred in the background under a bright blue sky.
Between 2011 and 2012, several individuals stole 9,571 barrels of maple syrup, worth $18.7 million, from a warehouse in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford, Quebec.
This theft from the Maple Syrup Strategic Reserve became known as The Great Maple Syrup Heist.
This is the story.

Kim Campbell stands indoors in front of an ornate white fireplace with decorative molding and a green marble interior. She is smiling and wearing a black outfit with two medals pinned to the left side of her chest—one hanging from a green, blue, and yellow ribbon around her neck and another red-and-white cross-shaped medal pinned to her jacket. Her short light-brown hair is styled in a layered bob. Crystal chandeliers and a floral arrangement sit above the mantel, and upholstered furniture is partially visible at the sides of the room.
Kim Campbell was the first woman to serve as Prime Minister of Canada, federal Minister of Justice and federal Minister of Defence.
She was also the first Baby Boomer and first person born in British Columbia to be Prime Minister.
This is her story.

Here are my top 10 dog mayors!
A driver crossing a Bridge in Rhode Island was mistakenly charged when toll cameras detected a pet bearded dragon inside the car instead of the vehicle’s E-ZPass transponder. After reviewing the footage, the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority voided the charge and refunded the driver.
Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.
The dealer needs to keep you addicted.

Mount Rainier in the background. Open field with nearby trees. Blue sky. No clouds.

I love how the chihuahua is pissed that the TV was turned off. 🤣🤎
A social media post from Allison @ithinkicantrell There's a man sitting at Barnes & Nobles right now and his wife keeps bringing him books to hold and saying "oh just one more" and he looked at me and said "she can get the whole store and I'll carry it for her" this is the relationship I strive towards.

This is the most reassuring statement I’ve seen re: D&D and AI, mostly bc Chris Cocks is exalting it the rest of the piece: “There are some brands that the audience, the creators, just don’t want it, so we don’t even have it in our pipelines for our video games or for Magic: The Gathering, or D&D.”
My smugness is immeseruable this morning. Two co-workers are complaining about petrol prices.
I commuted by eBike. It costs ~$0.04c to fully charge (assuming from the grid, not my solar).
I saved ~$3.26 by riding ^_^
You can not contain my smugness.

Brian McKeever smiling while holding up a gold medal attached to a blue ribbon. He wears a red Team Canada jacket with “CANADA” printed across the front and a red-and-white knit hat with sunglasses resting on top. The background is blue with blurred shapes, suggesting a winter sports event setting.
Canada's most decorated Winter Paralympian is cross-country skier Brian McKeever.
He has won 20 medals, including 16 gold at the Paralympics from 2002 to 2022, along with 19 World Championships.
In all, he has had 43 podium finishes at the Paralympics and World Championships.
Roy Brown seated for a formal portrait, facing slightly to the right while looking toward the camera. He is a young man with neatly combed light-coloured hair parted to one side and a clean-shaven face. He wears a military uniform jacket with shoulder straps, a tie, and pilot wings pinned on the left side of his chest. A strap runs diagonally across his torso. The photograph is black and white with a plain dark studio background.
Roy Brown was a decorated Canadian flying ace during the First World War.
But he is most famous for his role in the shooting down of the Red Baron.
Whether he was the one who took the fatal shot is up for debate.
This is his story.
